The Covid-19 weekly case positivity rate has finally dropped to below 5% in all districts of the state for the first time in months during the ongoing second wave. Even last week, when Andhra Pradesh’s average weekly positivity rate stood at 3.2%, East Godavari and West Godavari had crossed the 5% positivity rate threshold.
As per the latest weekly case positivity rate statistics between July 12 and 18, Kurnool has the lowest case positivity rate among all districts at 0.74%.
In all, Anantapur, Kurnool, Srikakulam and Vizianagaram have a less than 2% weekly case positivity rate. While the weekly positivity rate ranges between 3% and 5% in five districts, eight districts have a positivity rate less than 3%.
The case positivity rate is a key indicator to gauge the spread of the disease in the community at a certain point in time. The World Health Organisation (WHO), in an advisory released in May last year, stated that less than 5% samples testing positive for Covid-19, at least for two weeks, is an indicator that the disease is under control.
Corresponding with the lowering case positivity rate, the daily new infection numbers have now dropped to about the 2,000 to 3,000 range from the peak of 24,171 cases on May 16. But districts such as East Godavari, West Godavari, Visakhapatnam and Chittoor still continue to contribute a major chunk of the daily infection numbers. This can be gauged from the fact that while the state’s cumulative case positivity rate stood at 8.22% as of July 18, it is as much as 12.43% in East Godavari, 9.88% in Chittoor and 8.59% in West Godavari.
Despite the fall in case positivity rate, the state health department is augmenting infrastructure at all hospitals in its preparation for the anticipated third wave. A special focus has been laid on improving infrastructure to treat paediatric Covid-19 cases based on the assumptions of several experts and reports that the third wave may hit children.
Lankans won the toss and elected to bat first. Openers minod Minod Bhanuka and Avishka Fernando added 59 runs in powerplay. Yazuvendra chahal broke this partnership and Minod 36(42) hit one delivery to Manish Pandey at midwicket and he made no mistake. On the very next ball,new man Bhanuka rakjpaksha edged the delivery to Ishan kishan and returned to pavilion with a golden duck.
Then, avishka Fernando and Dhananjay de selva continued the innings and added few runs between them. Avishka after reaching his fifty falled to Bhuvaneshwar,he scored 50 of 71. Deepak chahar got rid of Dhananjay 32 of 45 with a knuckle ball, shanaka 16 of 24 was bowled by chahal and Hasranga 8 of 11 was bowled over by chahar. Aslanka continued the scoreboard ticking and registered his maiden fifty and soon fall to Bhuvaneshwar,he scored 65 of 68. Karunaratne 44 of 33 landed some blows at end to take his side to 275/9. Bhuvaneshwar and chahal bagged 3 wickets each while deepak chahar took 2 wickets.
Chasing 275,Shaw and Dhawan opened the Indian innings and shaw hit 3 boundaries and was looking in good touch. Lankans introduced Hasranga and he got rid of shaw 13 of 11 with a googly. Kishan 1 of 4 soon followed with falling to Rajitha.
Dhawan 29 of 38 tried to carry the innings but Hasranga got better of him and he was strucked on pad and review got Lankans his wicket. Manish Pandey 37 of 31 , was striking well but he was unlucky to be run out. then, Hardik Pandya chipped one straight to midwicket to fall for a duck. Suryakumar Yadav continued the fight at the other end and scored a fluent fifty. Krunal Pandya sttruggled but managed to hang in there. Lakshan Sandakan trapped Suryakumar 53 of 44 leg-before-wicket and few overs later,Hasaranga castled Krunal 35 of 54 . Victory seemed easy to Lanka at that time and match was in their control.
After,that Bhuvneshwar and Chahar took the game deep. Chahar hit a massive six off Sandakan in the 43rd over and followed it up with two more boundaries in the next over to reach his fifty. Some streaky boundaries added to Sri Lanka’s woes and eased India’s path to victory eventually as the match was completed with five balls to spare. Bhuvaneshwar scored 19 of 28 and Chahar made 69 of 82. For his all-round performance Deepak chahar was given ‘Player of the match’ award.
Hasranga bagged 3 wickets and Rajitha,Shanaka and Sandakan got 1 wicket each.
T-20 world cup is near and India in chahar may have discovered an All-rounder. We’ve seen him landing few blows in IPL, but it was new for us in Indian Jersey. India will look to clean sweep the Lankans while Lankans will play for their pride in the last match,as they’ve nothing to loose now.
First, let me start my article with a question. What will you do in you spare time or free time these days? Everyone would answer that since it is pandemic time we are in home using gadgets in our free time right. Now, this has been the trend these days. Okay, let me put it this way. What will you do in your free time before pandemic. The answer is gadgets only. We have been immersed in the world of gadgets these days. What is a leisure time, guys? It is to make yourselves and your mind to set free of thoughts. But how can we say, using mobile phone in free time set your mind free? Just think about it. Now, let me tell you about the spare time these days and spare time during the late 20’s.
I think the 90’s kids and early 2k kids are the ones who enjoyed their spare time carefree even without a mobile phone. Because the environment and generation they grew up is like that. There will be only button phones those days. These kids in spare time, if they are farming family, those kids would do farming related works such as to feed the cattle, goats etc. If they have no work in their home, they would go out early and come home late in the evening. They would even be scolded those days. Do you have any idea how they spend their time?
Mobile phones those days
They spent their time by playing, cricket, kabbadi, etc., but most of them would play outdoor games. They used to swim in the well, catch fish and eat, roam around the area they live, and so on. Girls would spend their time by playing indoor games like dayam, chess, snake and ladders etc., because most of the girls are not allowed to go out too far. Parents those days never worried about them. But think about it now?
These 2k kids might not know the craze for icecream. Since, I’m an early 2k kid, I know how I waved for eating ice-cream. Also, the ice-cream van would come once or twice a week only. The kids would please their mom or dad, to buy that icecream. The taste in the icecream that we craved for is shown in everyone’s face. Then, if it’s some function or some ritual days, there will always a moving toy shop. The kids would torture their parents to buy them plastic mobile phone, balloon, remote control car etc., The happiness lies in these things. Sorry, 90’s kids, I think I have recalled your past beautiful memories, right? There won’t be private mobile phones for everyone. This is the major advantage I would say. Orelse, will you have those unforgettable memories? Let me ask you one thing. Those 90’s and early 2k kids, did you miss those days?
Now, when we come to talk about the life of children these days. Let me start my talk with a question. If your mom asks you to call neighbour aunt or uncle for something whose house is 200m away. What will you do? I would say you will definitely use your mobile phone to call them. But things aren’t like this those days. The kids now-a-days lives a sophisticated life since childhood so that they don’t know how to face a problem. The kids these days are very sensitive. When you parents say not to use mobile phone often, definitely you would scold them or pick a small fight with them. Parents now-a-days worry about their children so much. They fear what to do if you go in a wrong path. Most of the children won’t go out to play these days. If you ask them, they would say I have allergy or some other silly reasons. Because their entertainment lies in those gadgets like mobile phone, laptop, etc. I didn’t oppose the use of mobile phones but use it to a certain extent and don’t get addicted by that. There may be a chance that the children would go in wrong way while using these gadgets. There are negatives equal to the positives of the gadgets. The games that kids play now-a-days is free fire, pubg, ludo,etc. But they don’t know about indoor and outdoor games. I’m sure that the kids these days would definitely miss their childhood days and that would be the thing they regret in their life. So, kids make your childhood memorable dears!!
Use gadgets limitedly
Spare time is to relax yourselves and make you mind set free from other thoughts or continuous work. These facts fits for elders too! As I said, Since it is like a debate, I will stand on the side of spare time those days (late 20’s). This doesn’t mean that I am against gadgets, but they are just for need. Those gadgets are not life. Okay, we have gadgets now. What will you do one day without gadgets? Guys, you must also know to spend time without gadgets. I hope you will think better and will live a healthy and happy life. Spare time is relaxing yourself not engaging yourselves in gadgets!!!

Hello guys Today we are going to discuss about an unique trekking
I am sure you guys have heard Gorilla and trekking these two words respectively .But how did a relationship form between these two and how did this topic of Gorilla trekking came into existence is what we are going to talk about .
Generally trekking means a long journey typically on foot , and gorillas are largest of the great apes and are the largest living primates.
From bwindinationalparkuganda.com
Gorilla trekking refers to people hiking through forests to see mountain Gorillas in their natural habitat unlike how we visit zoos to watch animals here the animals are not caged.
This trekking happens in forests of Africa at Bwindi National park in Uganda and also in Rwanda.
It's a popular choice for travel bucket list of many travellers.But for trekking almost for 8 hours you need stamina,physical fitness and also should be able to balance yourself out there
From : national geographic

In areas like as marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption, the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) advocates for the creation of a single law for India that would apply to all religious sects. The law is based on Article 44 of the Constitution, which states that the state must work to ensure that citizens throughout India have access to a uniform civil code.
For over a century, the subject has been at the forefront of political discourse and discussion, and it is a top priority for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has been pressing for legislation in Parliament. The saffron party was the first to vow that if it wins power, it will adopt UCC, and the subject was included in its Lok Sabha election program for 2019.
The central family law acts were extended to Jammu and Kashmir when Article 370 was repealed. Although this is another step toward adopting UCC across India, there is still a long way to go in this endeavor.
Human rights and the values of equality, fairness and justice all support the creation of a standard civil code. Article 44 of the Indian constitution’s directive principle is important because its goal is combat discrimination against vulnerable groups and to bring disparate cultural groupings together across the country. While drafting the Constitution, the father of our constitution “Dr. B R Ambedkar” stated that while a UCC is desirable, it should remain voluntary for the time being, and so Article 35 of the draft Constitution was added as part of the Directive Principles of State Policy in Part IV of the Constitution of India as Article 44. It was included into the Constitution as a condition that would be met when the nation was ready to embrace it and the UCC could gain societal acceptability.
The UCC aims to provide the following:-
Protection of Vulnerable Portions of Society: The UCC strives to safeguard vulnerable sections of society, like women and religious minorities, as envisioned by Ambedkar, while simultaneously encouraging nationalistic ardour via unity.
Rules will be simplified: The code will make the complicated laws of marriage ceremonies, inheritance, succession, and adoptions more accessible to everyone. All citizens, regardless of their faith, shall be subject to the same civil law. When passed, the code would strive to simplify laws that are now divided based on religious views, such as the Hindu code bill, Sharia law, and other similar legislation.
Secularism: A goal established in the Preamble, and a secular republic requires a single law for all people rather than differentiating regulations based on religious customs.
Gender justice: Each religion in India has its own set of personal rules covering weddings, divorce, succession, adoption, and maintenance. Women’s rights, however, are typically restricted by religious legislation, whether Hindu or Muslim. A famous example is the practice of triple talaq which is now been held unconstitutional.
All personal laws will be abolished if an unified civil code is established.
Therefore, the people’ fundamental rights to equality before the law and equal protection under the law, as guaranteed by the Constitution, need a comparable response throughout these regions. Article 44, which requires the state to make reasonable efforts to ensure that citizens have access to an unified civil code across India, has the same effect.
Music gives you pleasure that heals your wounds , be it mental , be it physical.
Nearly everyone enjoys music , whether by listening to it , singing , playing instrument. But despite of this universal interest for music , schools are removing music from the list of their subjects that are taught in the schools. Are schools on right path ? Is this decision is in favor of students? NO , they are doing a big mistake ! Schools are not only loosing an enjoyable subject but a subject which enrich students life & help them to focus more on their education . Here are the benefits that music plays in the life of a student.
Musical training helps develop language and reasoning: Students who have early musical training will develop the areas of the brain related to language and reasoning. The left side of the brain is better developed with music, and songs can help imprint information on young minds.
Students learn to improve their work : music brings craftmanship among students, they learn the presentation part of their work
Increased coordination: Students who practice with musical instruments can improve their hand-eye coordination. Just like playing sports, children can develop motor skills when playing music.
Music can be relaxing: Students can fight stress by learning to play music. Soothing music is especially helpful in helping kids relax. A relaxed mind ensures proper work done .
Music teaches discipline : Music teaches an important aspect of life that is discipline , students have to set aside time to learn the instruments that will make them learn discipline
Better self-confidence: With encouragement from teachers and parents, students playing a musical instrument can build pride and confidence. Musical education is also likely to develop better communication for students.
Finally, music is an excellent way to relieve stress. This is significant for students who may feel overwhelmed by schoolwork and try to balance extracurricular activities. Studies have found that music can reduce burnout and improve mood states. As students enter into the upper grades of the school system and begin considering applying for post-secondary schools, they might feel overwhelmed with the need to keep their grades high. Even young students can experience stress with the increasing amounts of homework school curriculums require. Some students may also have stressful home lives, and music will offer a way to escape from these situations.
Music helps you increase you memory power . Music is good for your memory. I bet you can remember the lyrics of a bunch of songs much better than an article you recently read. In nursing homes, they started using musical therapy in order to let the elderly remember things of their past, which they couldn’t remember without listening to music.
Deepak Chahar’s wonderful knock of unbeaten 69 helped India to win the second ODI against Sri Lanka. Deepak chahar with the help of Bhuvneshwar Kumar at the other end chased down the target with a record partnership of unbroken 84 runs. .
India were struggling at 193 for 7 when Bhuvneshwar joined chahar , when 83 more runs runs were needed for India to win. Both produced an incredible Chase .Bhuvneshwar was also beaten on 19 off 28.
Sri Lanka again won the toss in the second ODI , and made a descent score of 275 , thanks to Karunaratne who contributed some important runs at the death overs, after a poor show of middle order. The total of 275 was not a match winning total, but a fighting total. and something to bowled to.
India again started very nicely, Prithvi Shaw started the innings with 3 consecutive fours in 1st overs. and made 14 runs in 1st over. Shikhar Dhawan was also looking comfortable in starting. but at 6th ball of 3rd over, leg spinner Hasaranga bowled Prithvi Shaw with the ball coming little bit in to the batsman.it was really a master stroke from Sri Lankan captain Shanaka to introduce spin so early because they knew if Prithvi Shaw had stayed 5-6 overs more , he would have drag Sri Lanka out of the context.
But it was not only one dent that India faced during the chase, soon after Prithvi Shaw was dismissed, Ishan Kishan soon followed him with just 1 off 4.Then the chase become little bit tricky for India . Captain Shikhar Dhawan was joined by Manish Pandey who was also wanting to score some runs after a poor show in 1st ODI,but at the score of 65, Indian captain Shikhar Dhawan was also dismissed by Hasaranga. than it became a tough challenge for Manish Pandey and Suryakumar Yadav to get India chased down the target they both were batting really good but than came an unfortunate run out of Manish Pandey. Surya’s straight drive was so straight that it hit the stumps at the bowlers end and Shanaka managed to touch the ball in the process.
Hardik Pandya was straightaway dismissed for 0 off 3 . Making condition more worse for India. Soon after scoring his maiden fifty , Suryakumar was dismissed by spinner Sandakan. Krunal Pandya showed some resistance but was gone with a beauty of Hasaranga. After that it became almost impossible for India to win from that situation.Then came India’s hero of the match . Deepak chahar along with Bhuvneshwar managed to make a match winning partnership of 84 runs.
The innings of chahar was a combination of patience and maturity. he knew that the asking rate was not much . if India managed to rotate strike , they would achieve the target. he took some calculated risk with some outstanding running between the wickets soon after he scored his maiden fifty, and hopes of Indian dugout and fans was again came again.
it was a masterstroke from Rahul Dravid to send chahar ahead of Bhuvneshwar because he knew about the capabilities of chahar. Chahar also contributed with ball taking 2 for 52 in 8 overs. It was an all round performance from chahar to contribute in India’s win. After the second ODI , the third match is on Friday.
Eid al-Adha is a Muslim religious holiday. In Islam, there are two major Eids: Eid-ul-Fitr, which marks the end of the Holy Month of Ramadan, and Eid-ul-Adha, which marks the end of the yearly Hajj journey during the time of Qurbani means ‘sacrifice’. It is celebrated by Muslims all around the world and might span several days depending on where you live.
The Festival of Sacrifice is also known as Eid al-Adha. It commemorates the narrative of Ibrahim, a prophet who attempted to show his faith in Allah by sacrificing his son Ishamel. He made the decision to obey Allah’s word. Despite several obstacles, he was on the verge of sacrificing his kid. At that very time of sacrifice, Ishamel had been replaced with a ram by Allah because Ibrahim had demonstrated his loyalty to Allah without any question.
Therefore, Muslims commemorate Ibrahim’s steadfastness and allegiance to Allah above everything else.
Although Eid-ul-Adha has no direct link to the Hajj Pilgrimage, it occurs just a day after the Hajj is completed and so has historical significance. The tenth day of the last (twelfth) month of the Islamic Lunar Calendar, Dhu-al-Hijjah, is Eid-ul-Adha. The date of the celebration is determined by a valid sighting of the moon after the yearly Holy Pilgrimage of Hajj, which is a requirement for all Muslims who meet certain conditions and is one of Islam’s fundamental Five Pillars.
It usually lasts two to four days. Following the Eid Salaah (Eid Prayers), which are done in congregation at the closest Mosque on the morning of Eid, the act of Qurbani (sacrifice) is performed. The act of Qurbani consists of slaughtering an animal be it sheep, goat, cow, bull, camel as a sacrifice to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim’s sacrifice for Allah on this special date. Udhiya is another name for this. From the 10th to the 12th of Dhu-al-Hijjah, three days of animal sacrifice are observed. The animal should be slaughtered in a “halal” friendly, Islamic manner, and the animal must be in excellent health and beyond a particular age.
The Qurbani meat can then be divided into three equal parts each share: one-third for you and your family, one-third for friends, and the last third for charity.
The day is traditionally spent celebrating with family, friends, and loved ones, typically by dressing new or finest outfits and exchanging gifts. But however in today’s time, keeping in mind the pandemic situation and social distancing many of these gatherings may not be possible. Some festivities may be held only with intimate relatives or may be held entirely online.
Usually, When Eid al-Adha begins, some Muslims attend Hajj a pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia. They hurl pebbles at three massive stone pillars in Mina’s city. Muslims say that this is where Ibrahim flung pebbles at the devil to chase him away. But, The event has been reduced back this year due to social distance. Only 60,000 persons in Saudi Arabia who have been inoculated with vaccines will be authorised to conduct the procedure
In Spite of abundant harvest, a severe fall in corn and maize rates at open market places have left cultivators to repent. It is with considerable hard work, confronting insect attack and other challenges, that growers had reaped the crop in the previous two seasons. Numerous areas even witnessed steady fluctuation in the area of cultivation.
Though, it is one of the largest cultivated crops grown in the district in about 9,500 hectares (corn and maize). overcoming various obstacles, not a ray of positivity expected them but just decline in price, driving several peasants into debts and monetary crisis.
According to V Sekaran, a farmer from Tiruchy , the retail price for maize stays at Rs 30-40 per kg, whereas at open market it is presently Rs 20 – 22. The price of corn has come down to Rs 12-15 in the market. Farmers have brought their crops to harvesting stages crossing all hardships, but the market price has left them in a major loss.
Maize, in particular, has not provided any profit in the last two years.
Cotton and maize take up nearly equal area of cultivation. Based on rainfall in the monsoon season, the areas will change and crop pattern will go through a shift. This season maize has failed to get the expected price, but cotton has reached record high price. Due to this farmers are likely to shift to cotton cultivation.
