It would be hard to call Leonardo Da Vinci anything other than a man ahead of his time. Between 1452 and 1519, Leonardo did just about everything. He is most famous today for his skills as a painter, where he painted some small works- like the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. His sketches of man were the most anatomically correct to date (The Vitruvian Man). He was also a famed sculptor, musician, architect, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, writer mathematician, engineer and inventor. He conceptualized things far beyond his time, including concentrated solar power, a calculator, the double hull for ships, a tank and, most interesting to those of us in the aviation industry, a helicopter.
Over 420 years before the first helicopter was built, Leonardo Da Vinci sketched out what he called the Aerial Screw. This aerial screw was a man powered helicopter that required four men to spin cranks fast enough to generate enough lift to get off the ground.
Now, fast forward to 1980, 461 years after Leonardo passed away. The American Helicopter Society sought to finally see the first human powered helicopter take flight. To win the prize money, which started at $10,000, the helicopter needed to reach at least 3 meters in the air (9.8 feet) for 60 seconds while being stable enough to have the center of the helicopter stay within a 10 x 10 meter box (32.8 x 32.8 feet). It would take 9 years from then before the first human powered helicopter even got off the ground when students at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo got their human powered helicopter 8 inches off the ground for all of 7.1 seconds. In the next 20 years, not much progress would be made so the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation pledged additional prize money to try to see if that would inspire more innovation.
Sure enough, it did. Two teams, one from the University of Maryland and the other AeroVelo, were locked in a tight race to win. The university of Maryland got their man powered helicopter to fly for 65 seconds but it only reached 8 ft (about 1.8 feet short of where they needed to be) in August of 2012.
Finally, this July in Toronto, Aerovelo took the $250,000 in prize money with this flight:
While we don’t expect to see these Atlas human-powered helicopter’s flying around a city near you soon, this was a remarkable achievement. Congratulations to the Aerovelo team! And, over 480 years later, Leonardo Da Vinci’s vision of a human powered helicopter came to fruition.
From March 2021 till today the life is going through this lockdown stuff, got bored with this pandemic situation but what to do, donot have any way to get rid of this. Anyhow, there are some ways I found to pass these pandemic situation. ‘Contribute yourself to the social activities’, just glance your sight towards the social life of this world there you could found many things which are unreal. It is our responsibility to change these unreal things to real things so move on to the social activities.
This book shows the way of living. What to do when? What not to do? How to counter the hurdles in our life and succeed? And has stunningly explained the insights into life.
Mark Manson, the writer, is a star blogger with more than 2 million readers. In this book, the writer initially discusses on ‘experiences’. We always desire to have positive experiences in our life. But the writer believes that the desire for a more positive experience is itself a negative experience. And paradoxically, the acceptance of one’s negative experience is itself a positive experience. This might sound tricky, but on reading the book it would become clearer. Explaining in simple words, the more you desperately want to be rich, the more poor and unworthy you feel, regardless of how much money you actually have. The more you desperately want a good figure, the uglier you come to see yourself regardless of your actual appearance. So, strive hard for a better future but do not always be very anxious and unsatisfied.
Further, the writer quotes, “Choose your battles”. In life, there so many things we can give a f*ck about. So we need to figure out which ones really matter. Next, the writer addresses the problem of ‘problems’. Evidently, each one of us has problems in our life. And very many of us get disappointed due to these. Disappointment, according to the writer, arises due to two things. 1) Denial- The writer adds, “Some people deny that their problems exist in the first place. And because they deny reality, they constantly delude or distract themselves from reality. This may make them feel good in the short term, but it leads to a life of insecurity, neuroticism, and emotional repression. Second is victim mentality – Some choose to believe that there is nothing they can do to solve their problems, even when they, in fact, could. Victims seek to blame others for their problems or blame outside circumstances. This may make them feel better in the short term, but it leads to a life of anger, helplessness, and despair. While the writer tells us to excel at whatever we do, paradoxically, also says, “Don not be special, do not be unique.” In simple words, he tries to say that the narrower and rarer the identity you choose for yourself, the more everything will seem to threaten you. I would suggest you to read the book in order to get insights into this sublime thought of the writer.
Further, the writer seems to have been motivating his readers where he exuberantly quotes, “Do not sit there, do something.” Instead of sitting and thinking about the problems you have, try to solve them. Initially, if you might not understand what exactly you are going to do, the simple act of working on it will eventually cause the right ideas to show up in your head.
The writer says that ‘suffering pain’ is inevitable, in one’s life. Eg. One might have the problem of obesity but might aspire to have a good physique. In order to solve this problem, one has to start working out, go to the gym, etc. So, while getting away with the mental pain of not having a good physique, you introduce yourself to the pain of going to the gym, abandoning junk food, etc. Hence suffering pain is inevitable. The writer is of the opinion that learn to sustain the pain you’ve chosen. When you choose a new value, you are choosing to introduce a new form of pain into your life. Relish it. Welcome it with your open arms. Lastly, the writer expresses his spellbinding views on relationships. He states that while serving relation one should not solve others’ problems to please them. Solve your own problems and let others solve theirs. This sounds difficult to understand, weird as well! But the writer has explained this in detail with significant and exceptional examples.
Thus, I would awfully suggest you to read this book and enlighten yourself.
July 5th,every year is considered the National Bikini Day in India. It is considered so because of the invention of the smallest swim suit by “Louis Réard“, a french automobile engineer and clothing designer. Louis Réard took over his mother’s Lingerie business in 1940 and became a clothing designer.
The idea of Bikini
The idea of a bikini struck Louis Réard’s mind when he noticed women rolling up the edges of their swimsuit to get a better tan. He decided to create a swim suit with their midriff exposed.In 1946, he went on to produce a swim suit of his own and called it a “string bikini” consisting of four triangles.
Marketing strategies
The marketing strategies of bikini’s has been the same with little innovation. Ever since Bikini was introduced in the market, the advertising tactic has been the same, i.e the bikini is put on by a supermodel with a super figure to attract customers. The advertisements create a sense of “want it” in women when they look at the picture of the model wearing a bikini.
Bikini advertisements and their effects
Many women have and still feel insecure about their body and shape when in the beach wearing a bikini. The advertisements have created the impression of a so called “perfect body”, which many women desire to have. The idea of “perfect body” has created a sense of hate in women against their own bodies. Many women get attracted seeing the advertisements, but get disappointed when looking at the mirror whilst wearing the same bikini in the advertisement. There is a need to spread awareness about body positivity in the society, this will definitely lacerate the idea of a “perfect body” and incorporate women with confidence on their own bodies.
Reforms in the advertisement industry
There have been noticible reforms in advertisement strategies in recent times, many brands now choose to showcase their bikini’s by putting them not on supermodels with super figure’s but with models who have a body of an average women. This way, many women can relate to the advertisement and show intrest in buying the product. This startegy has worked out good so far for companies like ; H and M,victorias secret many other.
Types of Bikini
With the changing times, many types of bikini’s were created and some of them are listed below;
Bandeaukini/Strapless bikini
Multi-String bikini
String bikini.
Microkini.
Tankini.
High Neck bikini.
Trikini.
Sling bikini
Flounce bikini
high waisted bikini
Fringe bikini
Your bikini, your body and your happiness
There are hundred different ways to show off your bikini, but it will look good only if you feel good. Being positive about your body is the biggest flex. It is said that “you cant buy happiness but you can buy a bikini, and thats pretty close” and it is said absolutely right, your body shape should not be an obstacle in midst of experiencing the joy of wearing a bikini and enjoying the sunset at a beach. Body positivity activists like Morgan Bartley and Sarah Sapora have brought back the renouncing confidence in women and showed that the “perfect body” is a mere speculation.
“What about the world of a schizophrenic? Maybe it’s as real as our world. Maybe we cannot say that we are in touch with reality and he is not, but should instead say, His reality is so different from ours that he can’t explain his to us, and we can’t explain ours to him. The problem, then, is that if subjective worlds are experienced too differently, there occurs a breakdown in communication … and there is the real illness.”
When, Philip K. Dick questioned about the reality we live , didn’t it remind you of Francesca Zappia the author of Made You Up quoting ,
“Sometimes I think people take reality for granted.”
And then there are people who have no luxury to take reality for granted because their reality may not really be real . It may be hallucinations or delusions or just random voices in the head or all of them together which is notably entitled as Schizophrenia .
Schizophrenia is a long-term mental disorder . Schizophrenia has its origin from Greek word :- skhizein ‘to split’ + phrēn ‘mind’. Due to its origin ,Schizophrenia is among the most misunderstood of mental health disorders. The etymology of the word schizophrenia has led many to confuse it with multiple personality disorder ( Dissociative Identity Disorder).
The term “schizophrenia” was first used in 1911 by a Swiss psychiatrist, Eugen Bleuler. He used this term to emphasize the mental confusion and random thinking characteristic of people with a disorder . But people confused the actual meaning with split or multiple personality confusion which has become an ingrained myth regarding schizophrenia that continues to this day.
So what is really Schizophrenia ?
Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental disorder . People with schizophrenia may be said to have lost touch with reality leading to unsound perceptions and actions , fantasies and delusions .
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that affects how a person acts, thinks, and feels. It can keep one from seeing the world in a normal way , making their own reality different from us . People with schizophrenia have difficulty in distinguishing reality from fantasies .
Schizophrenia affects men and women equally. Schizophrenia can occur at any age , the most common age to be diagnosed with schizophrenia is late teen to early 20s for men and late 20s to early 30s for women .
Some people with schizophrenia are dishevelled and disorganized n That doesn’t mean a person with schizophrenia can’t live a normal life .
“I have schizophrenia. I am not schizophrenic. I am not my mental ill. My illness is a part of me.”
– Jonathan Harnisch, (Novelist, artist, filmmaker )
There are people who have actually lived with schizophrenia and have managed to lead highly productive and satisfying lives.
People like :-
John Nash Jr. , one of the world’s most brilliant mathematicians. The Nobel Prize winner Economics suffered from paranoia, delusions, and other symptoms of schizophrenia.
Eduard Einstein ,
The youngest child of Albert Einstein was studying medicine when he was diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 20.
Vincent van Gogh, the Dutch post-impressionist painter who posthumously became one of the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art, suffered from several common symptom of schizophrenia like Hallucinations, including hearing voices .
Contrary to other people’s opinion , people with schizophrenia have no split or multiple personalities and most pose no danger to others . It is possible to live well with schizophrenia.
Symptoms :-
People diagnosed with schizophrenia are characterized by episodes in which the person is unable to distinguish between real and unreal experiences.
The symptoms fall in three categories :-
1: Positive symptoms: these symptoms are those that are abnormally present . They can be mild or severe depending on its nature. They include
• Hallucinations ( hearing different multiple voices which may be critical and threatening , hallucinations can affect all the senses like for instance, for example, a person may also see, feel, taste, or smell things that are not really there.)
•Delusions ( experiencing delusions may believe that something is true when there is no strong evidence for it to be unrealistic , paranoid , confused thoughts , false beliefs )
• Thought disorder ( dysfunctional thoughts making it difficult to put cohesive thoughts together or make sense of speech )
2: Negative symptoms: These symptoms are those that are abnormally absent in most of the patients . These symptoms disrupt a person’s normal ability .
These includes :-
• A loss or a decrease in the ability to initiate plans • Finding no pleasure in living . • Disorganized symptoms. • lack of facial expression • lack of emotional expression • lack of motivation • difficulty concentrating • Neglecting everyday activities, including self-care. • Withdrawal from social life ( possibly through fear that somebody is going to harm them.)
3: Cognition symptoms :-. These symptoms are another area of functioning that is affected in schizophrenia leading to problems with attention, concentration and memory, and to declining educational performance. Patients with cognitive symptoms find it hard to lead a normal life .
These includes :-
• Anosognosia ( a lack of ability to perceive the realities of one’s own condition. It’s a person’s inability to accept that they have a condition that matches up with their symptoms or a formal diagnosis)
• Trouble in paying attention or focusing .
• Problem with working memory ( difficulty understanding and using information.)
Severe psychotic symptoms often decreases as the person becomes older Like any illness, the severity, duration and frequency of symptoms vary from person not person however, in persons with schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia is a lifelong condition, but treatment can help manage the symptoms.
Types of schizophrenia
There are several types of schizophrenia.
Paranoid schizophrenia :-
This is the most common type of schizophrenia. Symptoms include hallucinations and/or delusions, but your speech and emotions may not be affected.
Hebephrenic schizophrenia :-
Also known as ‘disorganised schizophrenia’, Symptoms include disorganised behaviours and thoughts, alongside short-lasting delusions and hallucinations.
Catatonic schizophrenia :-
This is the rarest schizophrenia diagnosis, characterised by unusual, limited and sudden movements. The patient may often switch between being very active or very still. They may not talk much, and you may mimic others’ speech and movement.
Undifferentiated schizophrenia :-
This type of schizophrenia may have some signs of paranoid, hebephrenic or catatonic schizophrenia, but it doesn’t obviously fit into one of these types alone.
Residual schizophrenia :-
You may be diagnosed with residual schizophrenia if you have a history of psychosis, but only experience the negative symptoms (such as slow movement, poor memory, lack of concentration and poor hygiene).
Simple schizophrenia :-
This includes both positive and negative symptoms . Symptoms such as slow movement, poor memory, lack of concentration and poor hygiene are most prominent early and worsen, while positive symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, disorganised thinking are rarely experienced.
Cenesthopathic schizophrenia :-
People with cenesthopathic schizophrenia experience unusual bodily sensations.
Treatment :-
“ There’s a tremendous need to implode the myths of mental illness, to put a face on it, to show people that a diagnosis does not have to lead to a painful and oblique life… We who struggle with these disorders can lead full, happy, productive lives, if we have the right resources.” – Elyn R. Saks
As the cause of schizophrenia is unknown there is no cure . So a doctor’s treatment includes medications that can ease symptoms and prevent them from coming back.
Such treatments include :-
Antipsychotics:
These medications tame Psychosis ( delusions , hallucinations , etc.) The medications doctors prescribe most often for schizophrenia are called antipsychotics. This medication is taken as pills or liquid form . Some antipsychotics included injections given once or twice a month . These drugs work on chemicals in the brain such as dopamine and serotonin.
Schizophrenia patients are most likely to have to take schizophrenia medication their entire life .
Psychosocial Treatment :-
The term psychosocial refers to an individual’s psychological development in and interaction with their social environment. Psychosocial treatments (interventions) include structured counseling, motivational enhancement, case management, care-coordination, psychotherapy and relapse prevention.
Coordinate Speciality care :-
“There are a number of things that family and friends can do to help a person with schizophrenia. One of the simplest and most effective is to create a positive environment around the person.” – Milt Greek (Mental health advocate and author of Schizophrenia: A Blueprint for Recovery)
Creating a positive environment and showing support can make schizophrenia patients believe in the reality we live in rather than the reality they think is real .
Coordinate Speciality care includes model integrated medications and psychotherapist , family support , education and employment support etc.
Recovery After an Initial Schizophrenia Episode (RAISE) project. The goal of RAISE was, and is, to help decrease the likelihood of future episodes of psychosis, reduce long-term disability, and help people to get their lives back on track so they can pursue their goals.
Schizophrenia can make it hard to stick to a medication plan. One needs a strong support system to continue the medication.
Medication for schizophrenia can improve symptoms and sometimes help keep them from coming back.
Therapy can help people living with schizophrenia learn to recognize signs of an episode and explore strategies to manage symptoms and the distress they cause.
One must support in positive, supportive ways without making the patient feel criticized or helpless.
Schizophrenia is NOT A Character Flaw
Just like any other mental disorder schizophrenia is not a choice nor it is a character flaw , it’s a disease which needs to be treated .
People with schizophrenia have no luxury of taking reality for granted . But that doesn’t stop them from living in a reality which is different from ours . Their multiple voices doesn’t make them psycho or split personalities , those voices are voices of the subconscious that’s much more superficial than others .
“I thought of the voices as… something a little different from aliens. I thought of them more like angels … It’s really my subconscious talking, it was really that… I know that now.” – John Forbes Nash, Jr. (Nobel Prize winning mathematician )
The stigmatisation that often accompanies mental illness can be cruelest .
This stigma unfairly causes people to feel ashamed for something that is out of their control and prevents many from seeking the help they need.
This stigmatization is due to the misconceptions or myth that mental illnesses are usually the cause of laziness or personal behaviour , a weakness that can be controlled on its own .
In reality a mental illness is not a character flaw. It is an illness that has nothing to do with being weak or lacking willpower.
Seeking appropriate help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Mental illness should not be treated as a problem rather it should be accepted as part of self that needs little more care and self love .
Since there’s no cure of schizophrenia ,it seems a lot more scary .
But as Elyn R. Saks said ,
” My good fortune is not that I’ve recovered from mental illness. I have not, nor will I ever. My good fortune lies in having found my life.”
A person with schizophrenia is not schizophrenic. He is not his mental illness rather it is a part of him . They are not different than us they just think differently .
Mental illness is not contagious . Hence being kind towards people diagnosis from any kind mental illness can’t hurt us . Support and spread awareness . Make them feel their worth which is much more than their illness .
The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered one of the most jobs crisis. The impact of this real danger that the crisis will increase poverty and widening inequalities. Countries now need to do everything they can to stop this job crisis from Turing into social crisis. A numerous people have lost their jobs especially women. The unemployment rate in the National Capital increased bu 17% with about 83%. Women respondents choosing to permanently opt stop workforce.
As per the centre of monitoring Indian Economy between mid 2016-2020 the female labour participation rate that is the percentage of women working out will fall from 16.4% to about 11% as per now it has been estimated that this numerical might be pushed down to 9%. The date stated that only about 10.7% of total workforce in 2019-2020 was in favour if women and about 13.9% of jobs losers will be a witness in India. The overall unemployment rate for Aug 2020 was 8.35% and will drop to less than 7% in the following months and it shall rather increase to 9.06%. The unemployment rate would be an underestimate as the denominator is not stable. India’s unemployment rate of 24% dispite the 77% literacy rate through the figure are discouraging the creativity and various fields the year brought to be forefront cannot be ignored more younger workers freshers and women but jobs with individuals moving into increasingly serve self employment in agriculture, construction and small scale trade.
Overall 54.3% workforce were affected by covid lockdown. Approximately 30% lost jobs and were then able to return to employment ,at least in terms of employment status if not tupe of work or income experience differ by age, gender, industry of employment. Around 59% of workers aged 15-24 years lost jobs or employment either during the lockdown when we compare to 40% and 35% of 25-34 years and 55-44 years respectively are affected less in numbers, having lost employment older workers were 4 times more likely to job the work. The freshers with less and no experience are in general cheaper to get hired or placed in an organization.
Consequently about 9 out of 10 older workers back place in the workforce but when compared with no experience or freshers about 5 out of 10 younger workers were in workplace. The pandemic led digital shift created a massive demand gir skilled professionals in domains like business analytics, data science, machine learning, cyber security, e-commerce, ed-tech and logistics hiring fresh and top rated tech talents for roles in emerging technologies as the demand for these programs in emerging tech.
we believe taht the top skills that will continue to be in demand next upcoming years.

Among that HURRICANE ELSA, takes the fifth place on the list of names. Of the previous four storms, only Tropical Storm Claudette caused severe damage to the environment and also killed at least 14 people in Alabama, US. Particularly, this season would create more impact than usual as per NOAA.
HURRICANE ELSA: Talking about ELSA, was first monitored by NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER (NHC) on 29th June and on the next day is was defined as potential tropical cyclone. It was an active tropical cyclone affecting parts of Caribbean and Southeastern United States. Initially it was defined low-level circulation, then cyclone was upgraded into a tropical depression by 03:00 UTC on July 1.By 09:00 UTC the depression intensified to tropical storm after which NHC assigned its name ELSA . It also surpassed the record held by TROPICAL STROM EDOUARD that occurred previous year. It also became a tropical storm further east in the Main Development Region (MDR) than any other tropical cyclone so early in the calendar year on record, leaving behind only the 1933 TRINIDAD HURRICANE. It strengthened overnight and accelerated westward and at 10:45 UTC on July 2 and based on surface observation from BARBADOS , the NHC upgraded ELSA to a CATEGORY 1 HURRICANE. Around this time ELSA was moving at a speed of 49 km/h and also recorded the fastest moving tropical cyclone under rapid intensification and was also found to be the first storm to undergo rapid intensification in that part of the Atlantic that early in the calendar since another storm in year 1908. By 15:00 UTC on July 3, ELSA weakened back into a tropical storm, because of the northeasterly wind shear, which was partially due to the storm’s rapid forward motion which was more or less 48 km/h. By the next day ELSA’S forward motion significantly slowed down to 22 km/h as the storm’s center relocated to the east under the region with the strongest convection, while passing just north of Jamaica. Then on July 5, Elsa underwent strong burst overnight and began strengthening again.
IMPACTS:
UNITED STATES: On 2nd June, Florida governor Ron DeSantis declared “state of emergency” for 15 country within the state. He futher expressed that the high winds from ELSA could cause several structural damage and also arranged rescue teams.
BARBADOS: Sustained winds of 119 km/h were recorded on Barbados. It damaged the southern part of the island with power cut, along with downed trees, floods and roof tops being ripped off, Barbados Minister Abrahams reported. Initially there were no injuries or deaths but later more than 1,100 homes including 62 homes were completely damaged. The entirety of the island lost electricity with 24 electricity poles being knocked down and trees being uprooted as Elsa passed to the south. All flights from Grantley Adams International Airport the were suspended on July 3, due to structural damage and power outrages.
SAINT LUCIA AND SAINT VINCENT: In Saint Lucia, power outrages occurred as tress and branches fell off on the power lines. About 90 percent loss electricity at some or the other point. In Saint Vincent, many houses were damaged and still they are in the verge of recovering. They loss access to electricity and clean water. They have loss huge revenue on agriculture and livestock.
Apart from these there were several places that’s been affected. In the capital city of Grenada, St. George’s, severe flooding left a road submerged. In the Dominican Republic, strong winds led to toppled walls in houses. In Venezuela, heavy rainfall from Elsa caused flooding in Caracas.
COLOMBIA: Colombia was hit by heavy rainfall and waves of up to three meters on the Caribbean coast. This was about to happen before the storm headed to the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
As of now the tropical storm Elsa neared downfall along CUBA’S BAY OF PIGS on the south central coast by 5th, monday morning bringing winds and heavy rains. Elsa was set to make landfall in the vicinity of the BAY OF PIGS around mid day and exit CUBA overnight.
Cancer is a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body. Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells.
Cancers are named according to the tissues from which they arise
1)Sarcoma-Malignancy in structural tissues
2)Carcinoma-Epithelial Cancers
3)Lymphoma-Lymphatic tissues
4) Leukemia-White blood cells
Causes for cancer
Majority of the cancers are caused by living habits and some environmental factors
⭐ Tobacco:Nearly 35% of all cancer deaths are due to usage of tobacco in some form.Atleast 90% of lung cancer deaths are due to smoking.Smoking can also affect gastro-intestinal tract,pancreas,genito-urinary tract and upper respiratory passage.Snuff and chewing tobacco can affect mouth and respiratory tracts.Smoke inhaled by non-smokers can also cause lung cancer and blood cancer.
⭐ Exposure to ionising radiations such as x-rays,gamma rays,uv Ray’s can produce cancer.These radiations rupture DNA strands, causing mutations.Solar radiations can cause skin cancers.
⭐Physical irritants,such as continues abrasion of the linings of the intestinal tract by some types of food can also lead to cancer.Dietary substances such as fast,high calorie intake of animal proteins,salted or smoked food can cause cancer in breast,colon, stomach and oesonophages.
⭐ Certain drugs if taken without medical advice can cause cancer.
⭐Viruses and parasite organisms like schistosoma,liverfluke can also affect.
Cancer and death
A severe onset of cancer ends in the death of a person.It is because of the unique characteristics of the cancer cells.The growth of normal cells is controlled by certain factors.However the cancer cells do not require the growth factors.Hence these cells do not respect usual cellular growth limits.Normal cells have a nature of remaining together in tissues.But the cancer cells are less adhesive to each other.Hence they wander through the tissues and enter the blood.They can be transported to all parts of the body and cause new cancer growths.
The cancer cells rapidly multiply.Some cancers also produce angiogenic factors that cause many new blood vessels to grow into the cancer.Thus these cells will drain all the nutrients and normal cells get deprived of food.Ultimately the normal cells and tissues suffer nutritive death.
Management of cancer
⭐ The treatment or management of cancer depends on an accurate diagnosis.Diagnosis is made through microscopic observations,study of markers on the surface of cells,cytochemical methods, cytogenetics and various scanning and X-ray diagnostic methods.
⭐ After diagnosis, treatment of cancer involves surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormonal treatments.
⭐ Surgery is used for initial diagnosis of cancer as well. Sometimes a solid lump or tumor is removed surgically and tissues are examined under the microscope for cancer. This is both a diagnostic and therapeutic use of surgery. Most people with cancer will have some type of surgery. If the cancer has not spread to other organs and tissues, surgery usually helps increase chances of survival to a great extent.
⭐ Chemotherapy:This treatment uses powerful drugs that destroy the cancer cells. Chemotherapy is delivered orally (pills) or through an intravenous (IV) line.
⭐ Radiotherapy:Radiation therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Learn about the types of radiation, why side effects happen, which ones you might have, and more.
⭐ Targeted therapy:Targeted therapy is a type of cancer treatment that targets the changes in cancer cells that help them grow, divide, and spread. Learn how targeted therapy works against cancer and about common side effects that may occur.
Inspite of all advances in diagnostic and treatment,the death rate due to cancer is greater, Primary prevention of cancer will be a greater alternative to diagnosis and treatment.Consumption of fibrous food and avoidance of fatty food will avoid tumours related to alimentary canal.
Thus it is apparent that fight against cancer will be successful with early detection and appropriate education for avoidance.
Is India a safer place for women’s , A recent survey says in India every 20 min a girl has been raped and even it is considered as a traditional place even though not a safer place for women’s to live and India has been ranked the most dangerous country for the women’s to live
What is the reason behind this ? how can this be rectified ? does Indian Government taking it seriously ?
If we have to understand this situation we have to start from our childhood . we have been never thought that women is just a opposite sex nothing more than that this is one of the reason behind this . Another reason is presence of few women police and there is a tendency that the victims of sexual violence somehow brought it on themselves if they were dressed in modern. In a 1996 survey of judges in India, 68 percent of the respondents said that provocative clothing is an invitation to rape.Perhaps the biggest issue, though, is women’s overall lower status in Indian society. For poor families, the need to pay a marriage dowry can make daughters a burden. India has one of the lowest female-to-male population ratios in the world because of sex-selective abortion and female infanticide. Throughout their lives, sons are fed better than their daughters, are more likely to be sent to school and have brighter career prospects.
Making law’s severe and punishing everyone is not a solution for this situation . People should be educated properly from their childhood. After a 23 year old medical student in Delhi has been brutally raped in bus which turned everyone’s attention towards India . There several things you need to follow to keep yourself safe while returning to home from work or staying alone at home : When possible, avoid walking alone. Walk with someone, or walk in areas where other people are near , Don’t let a stranger inside your home to use the phone; make the call for him ,Never admit that you or a neighbour are home alone .
In the recent past Delhi has been called as the rape capital of India due to numerous rape cases arose in the past . After this India has made the laws very severe and made police to patrol during night time to ensure safety and made several arrangements for the women’s working on a night shift . But expecting our laws to change is foolishness its better no change ourselves
Mental health refers to the behavioural and emotional well being. It is all about how people think, feel and behave. Mental health may effect daily life, relationships and physical health. This may also happen the other way. Our daily living, interpersonal relationships and physical health might also cause our mental health to degrade, if not taken proper care. People use the term mental health in order to mean the absence of a mental disorder.
“Mental health is a state of well-being in which an individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.”
According to the World Health Organisation(WHO)
The WHO stress that mental health is “more than just the absence of mental disorders or disabilities.” Peak mental health is about not only avoiding active conditions but also looking after ongoing wellness and happiness. Taking good care of mental health can restore and preserve a person’s joy and happiness and bring their life back to track. Stress, anxiety, pressure etc. can lead to mental disorders. Doctors say that most of the psychological disorders have physical roots.
Risk factors of mental illness:-
Mental illness can effect people of all age groups, no matter their sex, religion, caste or income. Few factors that may cause mental illness among students are mentioned below:
Ragging – Far from being harmless, induction and fun, ragging can have serious impact on student’s mental health. Nearly 4 out of 100 students pursuing higher education experience ragging.
Financial problems – Many students belong to a not so financially stable background, therefore has to stop studying or take loans to continue. Our society promotes the idea of immediately entering colleges right after schooling and start a career. Unfortunately that creates pressure and causes mental illness.
Pressure to succeed– Constant worry over career choices, chooseing wrong major, ending up in an unsatisfied college, not knowing what to do with the degree and struggle to fit in can pile up on them.
Excessiveuse of social media – Even social media posts can harm a person’s self esteem nowadays by causing them to compare themselves to others’ seemingly perfect lives.
There are many other reasons for mental health disruption. Above mentioned were a few which causes uneasiness in students mental health.
Common Mental Disorders:-
Anxiety disorders – People with these conditions have severe fear or anxiety, which relates to certain objects or situations. Most people with an anxiety disorder will try to avoid exposure to whatever triggers their anxiety.
Mood disorders – People with these conditions have significant changes in mood, generally involving either mania, which is a period of high energy and elation, or depression.
Schizophrenia disorder– Signs of schizophrenia typically develop between the ages of 16 and 30 years, according to the NIMH. The individual will have thoughts that appear fragmented, and they may also find it hard to process information.
Consequences of neglecting mental illness:-
Physical Health – The mind copes with stress in different ways. Living with a mental illness isn’t easy. It increases the risk of strokes, heart attack and obesity. While mental illness might be in your brain, it affects your entire body.
Quality of Life – Student life is the best to be enjoyed. Mental illness can make it difficult to cope with every day life. Severe depression makes it difficult to get out of bed, let alone get dressed and out of the house to school.
Academic Achievement – Mental health problems can affect a student’s energy level, concentration, dependability, mental ability, and optimism, hindering performance. Depression has also been linked to students dropping out of schools and colleges.
Use of drugs and Social isolation – Poor mental health creates a negative impact on relationships with family and friends. Smoking and consumption of drugs and alcohols helps them isolate further away from the society.
Suicide – Untreated mental illness clouds your judgment, making you believe that there is no way out. This results in self harm or suicide.
Treatment
There are various methods for managing mental health problems. Treatment is highly individual, and what works for one person may not work for another. The society we live in is too narrow minded to accept these issues as a disorder which needs a treatment. One should keep away this mentality and seek treatment at the stage itself. The treatments include:-
Psychotherapy / Talking therapy– his type of treatment takes a psychological approach. The therapist talks to the person suffering and tries to get to the roots and solves the issue.
Medication – Some people take prescribed medications, such as antidepressants, antipsychotics, and anxiolytic drugs.
Self help– Self help should always be along, no matter whatever treatment you seek. The one facing difficulty should try and improve their lifestyle. Such changes might include reducing alcohol intake, sleeping more and eating a balanced diet.
We all know mental health is just as important as one’s physical health. The word mental health is considered a taboo in our society in the eyes of elderly. Many of us never seek help which leads to more serious health issues. The worst thing is that most of the students are suicide baited and bullied so relentlessly they are convinced that e only way to end their misery is to end their lives. At last, I would like to conclude by pointing out that counselling, therapy or seeking out professional help for yourself isn’t bad. It doesn’t signify that you re weak. Schools and colleges should have resident therapist in their campus. A broken bone may heal in 8-10 weeks but if a person is emotionally broken, it can take years to heal.
Despite the fact that dowry has been banned in India since 1961, a research found that it is still being given on a regular basis, with over 95% of weddings including the exchange of money.
Dowry is correctly represented as a societal evil since it is the practise of paying and accepting articles of worth (such as clothes, jewellery, furniture, cash, and other items) between two households. Typically, the bride’s family is obligated to pay these items to the groom’s family.
The World Bank carried out the study, which examined almost 40,000 marriages that occurred between 1960 and 2008 in 17 Indian states that account for 96% of the nation’s population.
Researchers calculated “net dowry” to study the difference as to what was paid by the bride’s family to the groom’s family and vice versa, and the results revealed that, in the vast majority of instances, it was the bride’s family who paid more compared to the groom’s family, rather than the other way around.
According to the estimated amount confessed by families, a groom’s family spends Rs. 5,000 on presents to the bride’s family on average. The bride’s family, on the other hand, pays about Rs. 32,000 on presents and other monetary contributions to the groom’s family, taking the net dowry to roughly Rs. 27,000.
It has also been noticed that the dowry value is typically 14 percent of the annual income and includes a significant portion of the family’s savings.
While much has started to change since 2008, experts think the tendency of dowry is still highly prominent in India, since the notion is quite widespread in all major religious groups, with Christians and Sikhs exhibiting a “dramatic increase in dowry.”
Dowry inflation was seen in certain states, including Kerala, Haryana, Punjab, and Gujarat, with Kerala having the highest average dowry in recent years. On the other side, average dowry decreased in states such as Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and West Bengal.
This venom affects people of all castes and socioeconomic classes. Neither the husband’s nor the wife’s educational background protects them from dowry harassment. Currently, dowry-related fatalities in Kerala have been documented, with the majority of victims coming from the upper strata of society. The culprits come from well-educated and wealthy families, and the victims are also well-educated. If this is the situation of women in a culture that was matriarchal a few decades earlier and claims of high social indicators in women empowerment, it’s anybody’s imagination how it will be in many Indian states that have numerous social indicators that are much worse than those of war-torn Syria or Sub-Saharan Africa. According to the NCRB study, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar top the list of dowry-related deaths, accounting for roughly 30 percent.
It is time to reform these retrograde societal standards in 2021. Receiving dowry should be considered a societal shame, and all generations should be taught. Young people should also make a stand. Women should explicitly refuse to pay dowry as part of a marriage , and men should also refuse to accept it in any way. Why should brides’ parents be obliged to give pricey “gifts” that are essentially a dowry by another name?
The wider background for dowry is women’s low labor-force participation and, as a result, their lack of financial independence. Women should be encouraged to work and earn their own money.
Discrimination is present in all parts of life. To combat gender inequality, States should examine gender-disaggregated statistics across the life cycle — birth, early childhood, schooling, nourishment, employment, healthcare access, and so on. Teachers and textbooks shape students’ views and values. Children should be routinely educated on the fundamental ideal of gender equality.
Dr. Rakesh Kumar Yadav, who was brought up in Nepal, has had every one of the makings of a virtuoso since he was a kid, and he has consistently been attracted to focus on new things. He was an individual from the Apollo Om HSEB school’s cricket crews. Dr. Rakesh Kumar Yadav, then again, was normally attracted to sports as a solid part in secondary school and as a cop since he needed to kill drug and wrongdoing mishandle and appreciate the feeling of achievement that comes from helping other people. In any case, out of the blue, he took a crack at Christian College Bangalore to seek after a four year certification in optometry.
In the underlying days of his school, it was so hard for him to change in Bangalore that he needed to flee from that point. He was unable to try and focus on his investigation. The outcome was he bombed his first semester. That was the point at which he figured he should get back. At that point his educator and companions were with him. Of late he fabricated his self-assurance. He even begun giving time for his energy ie. playing cricket. At long last he was on the roll. He tried sincerely and passed upto fourth semester. Then, at that point he got presumptuous about his examination and begun bunking classes in fifth semester. Because of this, he was confined to give test. It was the most noticeably terrible period of his life. He tried sincerely much more and passed fifth and sixth semester.
He began temporary position in Narayana Netralaya where he drew near with his senior specialists and optometrist. He fostered his expert inclination, reinforce individual person.
Presently he works in Nepal. He runs his own facility.
His battle shows how our presumptuousness belittle us and leads us towards dimness. There is continually morning after the evening. Try sincerely and never let your life be constrained by anybody.

Father Stan Swamy, a tribal rights activist and a political prisoner, an accused in the Bhima Koregaon caste violence case, passed away on 5th July 2021 at 1:24 pm. The medical director of the Holy Family Hospital, where Fr. Swamy was admitted said that Fr. Stan had a pulmonary infection after his COVID-19 complications in the lungs and pneumonia. He suffered from a cardiac arrest on July 4, 2021, at 4:30 am, he was put on a ventilator at that time but did not regain consciousness after. He also had Parkinson’s disease. He had told the court on May 21, 2021, that he was eating less and less, and his co-accused were worried about him, and that he would prefer to suffer and die like that in jail than being admitted to the hospital. And he requested for the judiciary to consider an interim bail. He passed away when the Bombay High court was hearing his interim bail plea.
About him
He was a native of Tiruchirapalli in Tamil Nadu. He was born on 26 April 1937 and was an Indian Roman Catholic priest, member of the Jesuit order. He was known for his work with tribal people and for fighting for their rights, especially in Jharkhand. He studied theology and Masters in Sociology in the Philippines in the 1970s. He was influenced by the work of the Brazilian Catholic Archbishop Helder Camara with poor people. He was also the former Director of the Jesuit-run Indian Social Institute in Bangalore.
His work
He was a tribal rights activist in Jharkhand. He had worked in the state for almost three decades for the Adivasi communities on issues of land, forest, and labour rights. He is well known for questioning the non-implementation of the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution about “Provisions as to the Administration and Control of Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes”. This schedule had the provision of setting up a Tribes Advisory Council with members only of the Adivasi community for their protection, well-being, and their development in the state. He also filed a Public Interest Petition against the state in the High Court asking for all young adivasis who had been labelled as “Naxals” indiscriminately to be released on a personal bond and to conduct a speedy trial. He said that his expressing dissent against the government’s policies must be why they are eager to put him out of the way.
Allegations against him
The National Investigation Agency arrested Fr. Swamy on October 7, 2020; he was sent to judicial custody till October 23. His residence was searched by the NIA, claiming that he had links to the Maoist forces. In his chargesheet, it was claimed that he was a CPI (Maoist) and was active in their activities It also claimed that he received funds from other cadres. The NIA claimed that he was a convener of Persecuted Prisoners Solidarity Committee (PPSC) which is assumed to be the frontal organisation of CPI (Maoists). The NIA said that it recovered incriminating documents, propaganda, and literature from him but Fr. Swamy said that these extracts were fabricated and he did not own any of them. He also said that what was happening to him is not unique as many other activists and journalists end up being the target of the country because of expressing their dissent.
The case he was charged under
The accused of the case named Elgar Parishad/ Bhima Koregaon are alleged to have links with the banned CPI (Maoists). The arrests for this case were made in 2018. On January 1, 2018, a huge number of Dalits gathered near Pune to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Bhima Koregaon which was fought by a huge number of Dalit soldiers against the Peshwas in 1818 but was won by the British army. During this gathering, there was violence where the people who were assembled were assaulted and their vehicles were burnt. But on January 8, another FIR was filed which claimed that this violence was a result of another gathering which was held on December 31, 2017, called Elgar Parishad. The Pune police then arrested activists claiming that this gathering was a part of the Maoist activity.
Conclusion
Fr. Stan Swamy had written a letter from inside the prison where he said that many of the people in there don’t even know what they are charged for and that they are just sitting stuck in there with no legal help at all and that he would help them as well. The least that is expected is for the prisoners to know what they are charged for and it is their fundamental right to be able to defend their charges. Fr. Swamy was a tribal activist worth remembering for all his hard and dedicated work.
