OBESITY AND SOCIAL LIFE.

Body image has increasingly grown into a weapon that many youths can use against others in social media. People glamorize slim bodies of celebrities. Those who are seen to be fat are frequently embarrassed in the social media, which may lead to suicidal thoughts.

 Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat is been accumulated to an extent that it may have a negative effect on health. On average, obese people have greater energy expenditure than their normal counterparts due to the energy required to maintain an increased body mass. Certain populations tend to have higher rates of obesity. Overweight and obesity are often accompanied by other chronic health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, certain cancers, and arthritis. Rural populations with a higher risk of obesity include those who are: Age 60 and above.

Discriminating against slim, overweight or obese, people does not help them to lose weight. In fact, the embarrassment, humiliation and stress they feel from such discrimination are likely to cause them to gain weight not to lose weight. Previous research has shown that people who are stigmatized for being overweight are more likely to engage in behaviours that promote obesity, including problematic eating, avoidance of physical activity and a refusal to restrict their food intake.

The analysis found that 5 per cent of the 2,944 participants reported weight-related discrimination. The people who said they had experienced such discrimination tended to be younger and to have lower incomes than those who said they had not. The more they weighed, the greater the likelihood of discrimination. Only 1 per cent of those with a “normal weight” body mass index (BMI) said they had encountered weight-related discrimination compared to 36 per cent of those with a BMI that put them in the “morbidly obese” category. Interestingly, men and women reported similar levels of discrimination.

“Removing prejudice and blame from weight loss advice might be a better route to promote weight control.”

Obesity is a social issue. An overweight person may worry about what others think. When people judge you unfairly, it can make you feel like it’s your fault. Well-meaning parents, siblings, or friends can sometimes make things worse by making “suggestions” about food or exercise. These good intentions may come across as criticism. Some teens that are overweight are teased or bullied. Teasing and bullying can make you feel sad or embarrassed. Fear of being judged or rejected might make you shy away from people. You may stop doing things you enjoy. But the best thing to do is to take your mind — and other people’s — off your weight and back onto you as a person. The most common way to determine if a person is overweight or obese is to calculate body mass index (BMI). BMI is an estimate of body fat based on comparing a person’s weight to his or her height.

So it clearly shows that weight discrimination is a part of the obesity problem and not the solution. So, everyone, including doctors, should stop blaming and shaming people for their weight and offer support, and where appropriate, treatment because when confidence fades and self-esteem takes a beating, it’s harder to stick with a weight loss program.

”log kya kahenge” is a word which underestimates one’s ability. it can’t let us allow to do what we want to do. In todays world this three words are one of the biggest barrier to success.

For example: if someone wants to marry a person of his/her choice. than the very first thing comes in our mind that “log kya kahenge” which makes our parents felt disrespectful. Also they think that they can’t stand in a society in the same reputation and dignity.

In India everyone lives together, really close. And that’s an amazing thing. But we are not able to mind our own business. We have so much to say and soo much to judge. Everyone on road to other places can easily make out when thier clothes, realationship status, job and etc. are not approved. We are so qualified in making others feel out of place and uncomfortable. We can easily crush confidence of a person by looking at them for just 5 seconds. We are “log” who make others feel self-conscious.

A girl wearing a crop to is being judged brutally by the society , specially by aunts. but when the same aunts wear sarees that displays their 6 inch stomach, why are the still taged as “sanskari”.why being so partial ?

This “ log Kya kahenge” becomes a major problem. But why do we worry that “log kya kahenge”. “ It is the work of people to say in other’s matter”. So best thing is to ignore them.

Now the solution is very simple; firstly you should stop judging people yourself. If you have any difficulty in coping, ask for advice from someone whom you trust and respect.

Teach yourself to accept that what they think isn’t your reality.
By confronting your fears, you help others confront theirs.
Be a little selfish. There’s nothing wrong with it.

Its your life; Don’t let anyone make you feel guilty for living it your way!

Its your life. Run, scream, laugh, cry with joy. Do whatever the hell you want. How does it matter whether you wear tight or baggy clothes, or too much makeup or all you want to do is travel the world alone when the people around you are gasping at the thought of you dropping out of med school?

My father says-”Never get swelled up when someone praises you, Never get depressed when someone blames you”

Thus a ideal person is the one who remains unaffected by both praise as well as criticism. You just need to keep one simple thing in mind- You have no control over any kind of external situation, person, etc. You can only and only control yourself. So, that which you cannot control should not bother you at all.

Do the right thing without expecting any praise or criticism. Even if you get any of these as a byproduct of your work, you should remain humble, completely unaffected by them. Remember both praise and criticism are momentary. If you are in peace with yourself, that’s it all and you win.

“कुछ तो लोग कहेंगे, लोगों का काम है कहना
छोड़ो बेकार की बातों में कहीं बीत ना जाए रैना”

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are the most important technologies of the last century, and they have had a spectacular debate over friendships based on respect until Jobs’ death in 2011.
Gates, the world’s most successful and wealthy Microsoft founder, praised Apple’s previous co-founder for Jobs’ leadership qualities and his ingenious ability to motivate his employees. However, there is one aspect of Jobs’ that Gates is still jealous of, Gates says in a new interview with the Wall Street Journal.

A senior Microsoft official talks about how we should work hard to be the best public speaker in all of his work and admits that public speaking is one of the areas where Jobs made it easy for him to be beaten, according to an interview, published Tuesday to promote Netflix’s new book about Gates’ life and career on September 20. .
“Steve Jobs was living in nature at the time,” Gates told WSJ of Jobs’ public speaking skills, which Gates said allowed jobs to sell people to any product, or subsidiary. “He could have said that, in the case of Ne Computer Computer [followed after his expulsion from Apple], that was not only a good thing about the machine, but also to scare people to death if they were there.
Gates goes on to say that he wishes he could imitate his old friend and rival in that regard, especially in terms of raising awareness about the various reasons why Gates and his wife, Melinda, became champions on their non-profit basis.
“I wish I could be magical because I have some influential causes and I need to make sure they are ignored,” Gates said in an interview, referring to the work done by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. addressing global problems, from disease prevention research to the fight against poverty.
Gates notes that “some things, such as polio eradication, are naturally motivated,” but he still believes that Job’s ability to sell any product or idea will work well, even though Gates has worked to improve his public speaking over the years. (At least one billion manager, Zoom founder Eric Yuan, offers Bill Gates the opportunity to participate in public speaking since the 1990s to encourage him to start an online business.)
He states: “I am not a preacher. “I have learned a lot about public speaking, and how to express how I can address these issues over time. I’m ready for that in a sense. ”
More importantly, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is one of the world’s most independent philanthropic foundations, with grants of more than $ 50 billion. Also, Gates and his fellow building official Warren Buffett, have also convinced hundreds of wealthy people to donate billions of dollars of their wealth to charities as part of their Giving Pledge campaign.
This is not the first time Gates has praised Jobs’ ability to get people to embrace his particular vision. Jobs had a way of “spreading the word” to encourage his employees, Gates told CNN in an July interview.
“I was like a little witch because she wrote spells, and I saw people filling their mouths, but because I’m a little witch, spells don’t work for me. Said by Gates.

if you want to become a nuclear scientist you need to do engineering chemistry or applied physics with a concentration in nuclear science

Department of atomic energy conduct exam called OCES The selection process is in two stages. First is through written exam. After clearing the written exam cut-off, you will be called for the interview. On selection, you have to join the BARC training school where you will be trained for the subjects relevant to nuclear engineering/science. Generally, the training school period is one year.

Selection: Selection is the process of choosing the most suitable candidate for the vacant position in the organization. 

Employee Selection is the process of putting right men on right job. It is a procedure of matching organizational requirements with the skills and qualifications of people.

Process of selection:

# Preliminary interview

It is the first step after receipt and scrutiny of application forms in the selection process. The preliminary interview is for eliminating those who cannot be employed because of such factors as age, citizenship, status, and inexperience or lack of training.

# Application Blank

The successful candidates in preliminary interviews are supplied the application blank to get a written record of the information.

By this application, the information like family background, date and place of birth, age, gender, marital status, educational qualifications, working experience, expected salaries and allowances, and extra-curricular activities are gathered.

▪︎personality test- It is designed to judge the emotional balance, maturity and temperamental qualities of a person. It may follow experimental methods—rating method, question-answer method.

▪︎Judgement test- For evaluating the ability to apply knowledge judiciously in solving a problem.

▪︎Dexterity test- To determine an individual’s capacity to use his fingers and hands in industrial work. Jobs requiring dexterity include physical therapists, watch repair, lab work, etc.

# Employment interview

Interview is one of the most widely used selection tool. Virtually every manager hired or promoted by a company is interviewed by one or more persons. Interview is a selection technique that enables the employer to view and assess the total “personality” of his prospective, which is not included on the application blank.

“Here are some internal sources of recruitment “

1. Promotion: Promotion is an upward movement of employee from current job position to a hierarchically higher job position with increase pay and responsibilities. Promotion is a recognition and reward for knowledge, efficiency and talent.
2. Upgradation: It refers to giving higher responsibility to the internal employees.
3. Transfer: It refers to changing place from one position to another, but no change in pay scale and responsibility.
4. Demotion: It refers to low pay scale and lower positions. However, it is a one kind of punishment.
5. Former employees: Former employees can include those who have worked on part-time basis and now desire to work on a full-time employment, retired employees or those who have left the company for some reason but are now willing to come back.Former employees are a good internal source of recruitment. They have the advantage of knowing the organization and the organization knows the performance of these people.
6. job posting: job posting is a way of hiring people from within. In this method, the organization publicises job openings on bulletin boards, and similar outlets.For e.g. Hindustan Lever introduced its version of open job posting in early 2002 and over 40 positions have since been filled through the process.
7. Dependants: The legal heir or the dependants of the deceased employee may be given a chance to replace the deceased.
8. Previous applicants: The applicants who have already applied for any job advertised in the past but not selected at that point of time but stored in the data base of the organization are considered as an internal source of recruitment.
9. Aquisition and mergers: This is another source of internal recruitment. The internal requirement for personnel is met through the available workforce on account of acquiring other firms or merging with other establishments

“These are some external sources of recruitment “

1. Direct recruitment: The unemployed persons may contact the employment section of various enterprises to ascertain if they can be casually employed. This method is very useful for recruiting unskilled workers. It does not involve cost of advertising the vacancies. Whenever the regular workers absent themselves in large number or whenever there is rush of work, this source of recruitment may be used.
2. Advertising: Advertising a job has become the fashion of the day with the large companies particularly when the vacancy is for a higher post or when there are a large number of vacancies. This helps in approaching the candidates spread over different parts of the country. 
3. Employment exchange: There is a network of employment exchanges in the country which is run by the Government has also made it compulsory for the employers to fill some vacancies through the employment exchanges. 
4. Campus recruitment: Colleges and institutes of management and technology have become a popular source of recruitment for technical, professional and managerial jobs.
5. Recommended by the existing employees: Some employers recruit employees on the basis of recommendations of the existing workers. This policy creates goodwill among the present employees and helps in finding reliable candidates.
6. Telecasting: The practice of telecasting of vacant posts over T.V. (Doordarshan and other channels) is gaining importance these days. The detailed requirements of the job and the qualities required to do it are publicised along with the profile of the organisation where the vacancy exists.
7. Web publishing: Internet is becoming a popular source of recruitment these days. There are certain websites specifically dedicated for the purpose of providing information about job seekers and job opening both. In fact, websites such as naukri.com, jobstreet.com etc., are very commonly visited both by the perspective employees and the organisations searching for suitable people.
8. Labour contractors: Recruitment may also take place through intermediaries known as agents or labour contractors. This system of recruitment has lost popularity these days. If a labour contractor leaves enterprise, the workers employed through him will also leave the organisation. Thus, it is not a reliable method of employment.

Music, art concerned with combining vocal or instrumental sounds for beauty of form or emotional expression, usually according to cultural standards of rhythm, melody, and, in most Western music, harmony. Both the simple folk song and the complex electronic composition belong to the same activity, music. Both are humanly engineered; both are conceptual and auditory, and these factors have been present in music of all styles and in all periods of history, throughout the world.

Music is an art that, in one guise or another, permeates every human society. Modern music is heard in a bewildering profusion of styles, many of them contemporary, others engendered in past eras. Music is a protean art; it lends itself easily to alliances with words, as in song, and with physical movement, as in dance. Throughout history, music has been an important adjunct to ritual and drama and has been credited with the capacity to reflect and influence human emotion. Popular culture has consistently exploited these possibilities, most conspicuously today by means of radio, film, television, musical theatre, and the Internet. The implications of the uses of music in psychotherapy, geriatrics, and advertising testify to a faith in its power to affect human behaviour. Publications and recordings have effectively internationalized music in its most significant, as well as its most trivial, manifestations. Beyond all this, the teaching of music in primary and secondary schools has now attained virtually worldwide acceptance.

In its most general form, the activities describing music as an art form or cultural activity include the creation of works of music (songs, tunes, symphonies, and so on), the criticism of music, the study of the history of music, and the aesthetic examination of music. Ancient Greek and Indian philosophers defined music in two parts: melodies, as tones ordered horizontally, and harmonies as tones ordered vertically. Common sayings such as “the harmony of the spheres” and “it is music to my ears” point to the notion that music is often ordered and pleasant to listen to. However, 20th-century composer John Cage thought that any sound can be music, saying, for example, “There is no noise, only sound.”

Music is an art form, and cultural activity, whose medium is sound. General definitions of music include common elements such as pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics (loudness and softness), and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture (which are sometimes termed the “color” of a musical sound). Different styles or types of music may emphasize, de-emphasize or omit some of these elements. Music is performed with a vast range of instruments and vocal techniques ranging from singing to rapping; there are solely instrumental pieces, solely vocal pieces (such as songs without instrumental accompaniment) and pieces that combine singing and instruments. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike; “art of the Muses”).See glossary of musical terminology.

How music makes the brain happy
How powerful? In one of her studies, she and her colleagues hooked up participants to an fMRI machine and recorded their brain activity as they listened to a favorite piece of music. During peak emotional moments in the songs identified by the listeners, dopamine was released in the nucleus accumbens, a structure deep within the older part of our human brain.
“That’s a big deal, because dopamine is released with biological rewards, like eating and sex, for example,” says Salimpoor. “It’s also released with drugs that are very powerful and addictive, like cocaine or amphetamines.”
There’s another part of the brain that seeps dopamine, specifically just before those peak emotional moments in a song: the caudate nucleus, which is involved in the anticipation of pleasure. Presumably, the anticipatory pleasure comes from familiarity with the song—you have a memory of the song you enjoyed in the past embedded in your brain, and you anticipate the high points that are coming. This pairing of anticipation and pleasure is a potent combination, one that suggests we are biologically-driven to listen to music we like.

Tracks with a slow tempo, gradual chord progressions and drawn-out notes tend to be calming, Levitin says, while chaotic and up-tempo music tends to have the opposite effect. But all of this is subjective. Levitin says he’s encountered people who have said that AC/DC is their relaxation music. “These were people who normally listened to Swedish speed metal, so to them AC/DC was soothing,” he says. “There’s no one piece of music that will do the same thing for everyone.”
