• Progressive talks – disengagement of troops near Pangong Tso Lake and Kailash ranges.
• China – Tactical manoeuvres in border regions across Ladakh. New militia units comprising local Tibetan youth – deployed in Eastern Ladakh – high altitude warfare and surveillance.
• Peaceful relationship – peaceful functioning of the world.
• No proper answer – why China chose to attack Indian positions in Ladakh.
Global Concerns .
• Nations expressing concern about threat posed by China to the existing world order.
• G-7 and NATO – Criticized China for its military ambitions.
• China – undeterred in its ambitions. Aggressive actions in the South and East China Seas. Subjugating the Uighur Muslim minority. Risks – Democracy and laissez faire economic system of Hong Kong. Continues – Tactical manoeuvring on Indian borders.
• Reasons for China’s attack on India India’s prominent role – Quad grouping. India’s significant role in Indo-Pacific region. China’s internal turmoil.
Past Lessons from Mao Tse Tung/Mao Zedong .
• Ill-conceived policies and programmes – Huge issues.
• Worst famines – Great Leap Forward Movement. Chinese communists – Tried to organize vast population into large-scale rural communes. Develop labor-intensive methods of industrialization
Emphasize manpower rather than machines and capital expenditure. Gradual accumulation of capital and purchase of heavy machinery.
• Internal problems in Communist party of China. Many members were critical of Mao’s autocratic attitude and ill-conceived policies.
• Attacked India as a diversion and to strengthen his position inside the party.
Xi Jinping – Mao clone
• Sheer dominance over the CPC.
• Trying to consolidate power and achieve pre- eminence – enjoyed by Mao Zedong.
• Pushing China to become a super power by overtaking the U.S.
• Chinese military – making it world’s most powerful military.
• Issues: Aspirations of Xi Jinping are stalling and CPC members questioning his policies and moves. Chinese economy showing signs of slow down.
Other countries are tilting towards India – diplomatic flexibility and ideological sophistication. CPC – leaders and members wanted ‘peaceful coexistence’ with India. Finding it difficult to push through ‘new socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics’.
• Diversion tactic – attacked India and escalated tensions last year.
Conclusion
• India should expect, and prepare for more similar situations.
• Background: European Union (EU)’s Covid19 passport (green pass). For all EU citizens, residents and some categories of travellers from third countries. Effective since July 1.
EU Digital COVID Certificate Regulation.
• For all EU citizens who are vaccinated or tested negative or recovered from COVID-19. • Recognised by all EU 27 member states and Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein.
• Vaccines authorised in the European Union: Approved by European Medicines Agency (EMA).
• Not eligible for the green pass – India’s vaccines Covishield and Covaxin and vaccines from Russia and China. Covishield – Indian-made version of AstraZeneca’s Vaxzevria jab – cleared by WHO. • Recent G7 conference → India criticised COVID- 19 vaccine passports. “Discriminatory and disadvantageous to developing nations”.
• Developing countries – lower levels of vaccination than developed countries. Example: only 3% of India’s population is fully vaccinated.
• Racism in EU’s policy – EMA list of vaccines only includes vaccines already used by Europe and North America.
• Other issues: equitable and affordable access, supply and distribution of safe and effective vaccines etc.
• Letter of protest issued by the African Union. Covishield is the backbone of COVAX alliance.
• Positive development – several EU members approved India’s Covishield for arriving travellers – Austria, Germany, Slovenia, Greece, Ireland and Spain etc.
Way forward
• More nations may go for vaccine passports in the near future – more vaccine programmes and the impending third wave.
• Nations shall come together against discriminatory practices.

Interesting Features
The story is loosely inspired by the Nepalese Civil War, an armed conflict between the Government of Nepal and the Communist party of Nepal (Maoist) (CPN-M) between 1996 to 2006. The games’s location is modeled on the Himalayas and the developers have done an amazing job on the all the details.The game has many interesting characters and as per the Far Cry tradition, the villain, Pagan Min, takes the spotlight in an amazing performance Troy Baker. The local ‘Kyratis’ speak Hindi and their religion, temples, monasteries and culture are inspired by Hinduism and Buddhism. There are even missions based on Buddhist legends and folklore. The game, in its parallels, aptly portrays the adrenaline rush and dread of the real civil war and mountain warfare. Even the melee weapon is the Khukri which is famous for it’s association with Gurkhas. The names of all the places, regions, landmarks and frontiers sound very Desi showing the developers did their homework by visiting and studying the locations they modeled the whole game on. The soundtrack by Cliff Martinez consists of usage of traditional Nepalese and Indian instruments which combined with electronic samples had high octane action and mystical wondering.
There is an undefined beauty in the film, filled with mystery and unexpected events. It drives most of us crazy when we don’t know what will happen next. When watching a mystery movie, the scenario is completely different. We love watching movies where it is impossible to predict. A mystery film becomes even better when the flavor of thriller is added to it. Thrillers are also about plausibility. Once magic or science-fiction works its way into the storyline, the film becomes less about normal people surviving harrowing situations and more about the mechanics of the fantasy world it now inhabits. The events of a thriller may be highly unlikely but they could, at least in an impressionistic way, happen in the real world. That’s what makes them captivating. It could happen to you. keeping this in mind I had prepared the list of best rated mystry thriller movies. The list consists of both , Hollywood as well as bollywood movies. The Movies are mostly numbered on the basis of their ratings, reviews from critics and public response. This is not a universal list in this genre, just take it as some suggestions if you wanna watch on this genre.

Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet.
It was a good day so far, as usual my man sun sights me. But suddenly he goes inside. I think the kidnappers, I mean dark clouds takes my boy. God, my boy is crying he’s so scared. His eye droplets reached around entire earth, yes IT’S RAINING…..
The city was in a water wash. Small creatures put smile on their face. The plants are being fed by the rain water. The ground drinks to off his thirsty. The ants are having a romantic date with their loved ones. Me sitting near a window and counting the drops with a cup of coffee.
Rain does not fall on one roof alone.
I would like to honour the rain, because it doesn’t know who is rich and poor also who’s white or black. Only thing he does is he kisses everybody and make them as themself.Its laughs on us, it says I love everybody, I’m taking lot of efforts to reach you all. Very often it stops and the white clouds released sun and he blushes as rainbow.
The rain puts smile on farmer’s face. The rain takes us to our lovely memories. The rain cleans up our dirty outers. The rain gives him as water to us. The rain makes us to feel the magic. Often the rain gives us some holidays too. Whatever it may even at whatever age it is, child in me comes out with bunch of teeth when IT’S RAINING…..
Rain is not only drops of water. It’s the love of the sky for the earth. They never meet each other but sends love this way

Should gay marriages be considered a taboo?
Same sex marriage, also known as gay marriage, meaning marrying within the same sex, i.e. between two men or two women. In most of the country, the legal and the social responses have ranged from celebration on one hand to criminalization on the other. Marrying within the same sex has yet not been legalised in India. They don’t get certain rights enjoyed by the other lot of people. Same sex marriage does have it’s own pros and cons like every other thing in existence. Still, to talk about it should never be frowned upon. This world is for everyone to live, the LGBTQs are no exceptions.
The Gay, Pride flag
Same Sex marriage – Pros and Cons
Every human in this world has the rights live their life. An Indian citizen has the rights to enjoy their own life in whatever way they wish.
Marriage is a sacred union between two people. Everyone should be given rights to choose their own partner. Gender shouldn’t be a barrier to choose a person with whom one is going to spend their entire life with. It should completely be their own choice. It’s them who has to deal them all. It is quite possible, one may feel attracted to a person of the same gender. If the other person feels the same, there shouldn’t be another thought if they wish to marry and live together for the rest of their lives. It is often said that the people of the same gender understands each other better. Then it may be quite possible that they live a better life indeed. All we need is love, care, support and a partner who understands you like no one else. If that really gets fulfilled, no doubt, same sex marriages will be a great success. But does it really get fulfilled?
A man and a woman is said to complete each other. No, they aren’t equal. Things a man can do, women can’t and vice versa. Both men and women are the two wheels of the society. One needs another to grow. Man by nature is physically stronger, bold, a little arrogant and pride runs in his blood whereas a woman is mentally stronger, calm, and able to handle situations with ease. Men and women together create a balance in the society. The biological process, the process of reproduction, men can’t give birth and women too can’t give birth alone. She needs a man for it. If reproduction doesn’t happen, how will the generation move forward? That’s a serious question indeed, and the society fears the same. Several of the holy books as well is in opposition to gay marriage. Yet, there are countries like Netherlands (2001), Belgium (2003), Spain (2005), Norway (2009), Sweden (2009), Portugal (2010), Iceland (2010), Denmark (2012), France (2013), the United Kingdom (2013), Luxembourg (2015), Ireland (2015), Finland (2017), Malta (2017), Germany (2017), and Austria (2019) which legalized day sex marriage.
According to the 2020 survey
Legalizationof same sex marriage celebration in foreign countries
To conclude the same, all I would like to say that the people who wish to marry within the same gender should be allowed to. Not everyone will. Therefore, the generations won’t stop moving further. It’s true to legalise this act is a tough decision indeed. A lot needs to be surveyed and evaluated. One wrong decision may lead to a disaster in the end.

With the profit money then investing in giving employees a raise in their salaries provided with some health benefits , because from the employee’s prespective a job in this sector will be helpful to support their careers and family , followed by this could lead to raise to people with higher qualification , experience and positivity and vision for future , and with hiring the best in the feild . the current employees could also fear the competetion and do their job implying every skill possible to preserve their seats in the company , this could ultimately benefit the company and hence the increment the quality and quantity of the service to meet the demands.
A huge factor can be the investment in the blockchain creating a decentralized immutable record of all transactions, making it possible to track assets from production to delivery or use by end user.
Buying a few robots such as for packing could decrease the expenses that would have done on the human on the same position , with its maintanace half of that human’s salary on the same position , Also you can consider buying smart trucks that has auto-pilot driving capabilities can lead to lessen the damage done during the accidents happening unexpectedly by the drivers that would lessen the property and health damage fund . And surely is a one time investment , because yes AI and machines are lot more smarter in predicting the dangerous situation than a driver which can loose guidance due to emotions , sleep etc.
Also prefer investing in similar smaller business and buying their shares so that for the future we might have higher chances of collaborating and end up merging in our company especially I would prefer the start ups from other states and a few overseas to ultimately expand our company targeting more costumers in other those areas .
One more area to target is to build special warehouses for food supliments such as vegetables , fruits , canned food and certain raw materials ,that requires a certain temperature to preserve them such as big refrigrators ensuring their quality won’t alter . and shipping them in trucks designed with the same equipments . This can make the service for the local supermarkets very preferable for their buissness .
It may seem that there’s nothing you can do about your stress level. The bills aren’t going to stop coming, there will never be more hours in the day for all your errands, and your career or family responsibilities will always be demanding. But you have a lot more control than you might think. In fact, the simple realization that you’re in control of your life is the foundation of stress management.
Managing stress is all about taking charge: taking charge of your thoughts, your emotions, your schedule, your environment, and the way you deal with problems. The ultimate goal is a balanced life, with time for work, relationships, relaxation, and fun – plus the resilience to hold up under pressure and meet challenges head on.
Identify the sources of stress in your life-
Stress management starts with identifying the sources of stress in your life. This isn’t as easy as it sounds. Your true sources of stress aren’t always obvious, and it’s all too easy to overlook your own stress-inducing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sure, you may know that you’re constantly worried about work deadlines. But maybe it’s your procrastination, rather than the actual job demands, that leads to deadline stress.
To identify your true sources of stress, look closely at your habits, attitude, and excuses:
Do you explain away stress as temporary (“I just have a million things going on right now”) even though you can’t remember the last time you took a breather?
Do you define stress as an integral part of your work or home life (“Things are always crazy around here”) or as a part of your personality (“I have a lot of nervous energy, that’s all”).
Do you blame your stress on other people or outside events, or view it as entirely normal and unexceptional?
Until you accept responsibility for the role you play in creating or maintaining it, your stress level will remain outside your control.
Start a stress journal-
A stress journal can help you identify the regular stressors in your life and the way you deal with them. Each time you feel stressed, keep track of it in your journal. As you keep a daily log, you will begin to see patterns and common themes. Write down:
What caused your stress (make a guess if you’re unsure).
How you felt, both physically and emotionally.
How you acted in response.
What you did to make yourself feel better.
Look at how you currently cope with stress-
Think about the ways you currently manage and cope with stress in your life. Your stress journal can help you identify them. Are your coping strategies healthy or unhealthy, helpful or unproductive? Unfortunately, many people cope with stress in ways that compound the problem.
Unhealthy ways of coping with stress-
These coping strategies may temporarily reduce stress, but they cause more damage in the long run:
• Smoking • Drinking too much • Overeating or undereating • Zoning out for hours in front of the TV or computer • Withdrawing from friends, family, and activities • Using pills or drugs to relax • Sleeping too much • Procrastinating • Filling up every minute of the day to avoid facing problems • Taking out your stress on others (lashing out, angry outbursts, physical violence)
Learning healthier ways to manage stress-
If your methods of coping with stress aren’t contributing to your greater emotional and physical health, it’s time to find healthier ones. There are many healthy ways to manage and cope with stress, but they all require change. You can either change the situation or change your reaction. When deciding which option to choose, it’s helpful to think of the four As: avoid, alter, adapt, or accept.
Since everyone has a unique response to stress, there is no “one size fits all” solution to managing it. No single method works for everyone or in every situation, so experiment with different techniques and strategies. Focus on what makes you feel calm and in control.
Not all stress can be avoided, and it’s not healthy to avoid a situation that needs to be addressed. You may be surprised, however, by the number of stressors in your life that you can eliminate.
Learn how to say “no” – Know your limits and stick to them. Whether in your personal or professional life, refuse to accept added responsibilities when you’re close to reaching them. Taking on more than you can handle is a surefire recipe for stress.
Avoid people who stress you out – If someone consistently causes stress in your life and you can’t turn the relationship around, limit the amount of time you spend with that person or end the relationship entirely.
Take control of your environment – If the evening news makes you anxious, turn the TV off. If traffic’s got you tense, take a longer but less-traveled route. If going to the market is an unpleasant chore, do your grocery shopping online.
Avoid hot-button topics – If you get upset over religion or politics, cross them off your conversation list. If you repeatedly argue about the same subject with the same people, stop bringing it up or excuse yourself when it’s the topic of discussion.
Pare down your to-do list – Analyze your schedule, responsibilities, and daily tasks. If you’ve got too much on your plate, distinguish between the “shoulds” and the “musts.” Drop tasks that aren’t truly necessary to the bottom of the list or eliminate them entirely.
Stress management strategy #2: Alter the situation-
If you can’t avoid a stressful situation, try to alter it. Figure out what you can do to change things so the problem doesn’t present itself in the future. Often, this involves changing the way you communicate and operate in your daily life.
Express your feelings instead of bottling them up. If something or someone is bothering you, communicate your concerns in an open and respectful way. If you don’t voice your feelings, resentment will build and the situation will likely remain the same.
Be willing to compromise. When you ask someone to change their behavior, be willing to do the same. If you both are willing to bend at least a little, you’ll have a good chance of finding a happy middle ground.
Be more assertive. Don’t take a backseat in your own life. Deal with problems head on, doing your best to anticipate and prevent them. If you’ve got an exam to study for and your chatty roommate just got home, say up front that you only have five minutes to talk.
Manage your time better. Poor time management can cause a lot of stress. When you’re stretched too thin and running behind, it’s hard to stay calm and focused. But if you plan ahead and make sure you don’t overextend yourself, you can alter the amount of stress you’re under.
Stress management strategy #3: Adapt to the stressor-
If you can’t change the stressor, change yourself. You can adapt to stressful situations and regain your sense of control by changing your expectations and attitude.
Reframe problems. Try to view stressful situations from a more positive perspective. Rather than fuming about a traffic jam, look at it as an opportunity to pause and regroup, listen to your favorite radio station, or enjoy some alone time.
Look at the big picture. Take perspective of the stressful situation. Ask yourself how important it will be in the long run. Will it matter in a month? A year? Is it really worth getting upset over? If the answer is no, focus your time and energy elsewhere.
Adjust your standards. Perfectionism is a major source of avoidable stress. Stop setting yourself up for failure by demanding perfection. Set reasonable standards for yourself and others, and learn to be okay with “good enough.”
Focus on the positive. When stress is getting you down, take a moment to reflect on all the things you appreciate in your life, including your own positive qualities and gifts. This simple strategy can help you keep things in perspective.
Stress management strategy #4: Accept the things you can’t change-
Some sources of stress are unavoidable. You can’t prevent or change stressors such as the death of a loved one, a serious illness, or a national recession. In such cases, the best way to cope with stress is to accept things as they are. Acceptance may be difficult, but in the long run, it’s easier than railing against a situation you can’t change.
Don’t try to control the uncontrollable. Many things in life are beyond our control— particularly the behavior of other people. Rather than stressing out over them, focus on the things you can control such as the way you choose to react to problems.
Look for the upside. As the saying goes, “What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.” When facing major challenges, try to look at them as opportunities for personal growth. If your own poor choices contributed to a stressful situation, reflect on them and learn from your mistakes.
Share your feelings. Talk to a trusted friend or make an appointment with a therapist. Expressing what you’re going through can be very cathartic, even if there’s nothing you can do to alter the stressful situation.
Learn to forgive. Accept the fact that we live in an imperfect world and that people make mistakes. Let go of anger and resentments. Free yourself from negative energy by forgiving and moving on.
Stress management strategy #5: Make time for fun and relaxation-
Beyond a take-charge approach and a positive attitude, you can reduce stress in your life by nurturing yourself. If you regularly make time for fun and relaxation, you’ll be in a better place to handle life’s stressors when they inevitably come.
Healthy ways to relax and recharge
Go for a walk.
Spend time in nature.
Call a good friend.
Sweat out tension with a good workout.
Write in your journal.
Take a long bath.
Light scented candles
Savor a warm cup of coffee or tea.
Play with a pet.
Work in your garden.
Get a massage.
Curl up with a good book.
Listen to music.
Watch a comedy
Don’t get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of life that you forget to take care of your own needs. Nurturing yourself is a necessity, not a luxury.
Set aside relaxation time. Include rest and relaxation in your daily schedule. Don’t allow other obligations to encroach. This is your time to take a break from all responsibilities and recharge your batteries.
Connect with others. Spend time with positive people who enhance your life. A strong support system will buffer you from the negative effects of stress.
Do something you enjoy every day. Make time for leisure activities that bring you joy, whether it be stargazing, playing the piano, or working on your bike.
Keep your sense of humor. This includes the ability to laugh at yourself. The act of laughing helps your body fight stress in a number of ways.
Learn the relaxation response
You can control your stress levels with relaxation techniques that evoke the body’s relaxation response, a state of restfulness that is the opposite of the stress response. Regularly practicing these techniques will build your physical and emotional resilience, heal your body, and boost your overall feelings of joy and equanimity.
INTRODUCTION Branding is a strategy designed by organizations or associations to help people quickly identify and experience their brand. amongst all consumers that helps your company to make a profit and success. we can also say that Branding can change how people think about your brand, it can drive new business and increase brand awareness. Sometimes we know the company’s impression due to their branding, not by their quality of their products. at present every company has its branding value which shows how the company is performing in the market and also what is the position of the company in the market. The goal of branding is to link your identity, values, and nowadays every company and organization are spending so much amount on branding because if branding will successful then the business of that product will also give a so much profit. So we can say that branding is directly proportional to the increment of their organization. It means if the brand value will increase then the company makes a profit and vice versa.
What is a Brand Platform? Branding is very important when it comes to recognition and the growth of any business. If applied correctly and consistently it helps build credibility and customer loyalty. So what platform and how do you go about branding? There are different platforms for different types of innovations and picking the one that makes sense is important. In addition, key elements need to be considered when picking the right branding platform. The necessity of the right platform will determine the overall success of your small business. Major businesses have a strong brand and have multiple platforms for them to remain successful and current.There are a lot of factors involved when choosing the right platform that can make or break a product or service. The key here is to ensure that good brand objective and valuable insights into some type of strategy to capture the target audience exist. In choosing the appropriate platform for your brand you need.
WHAT IS THE USE? From a simple point of view, it is basically to express what core values you hold and helps improve your credibility statement to the audience. One thing to consider is the important points that you’ll use to guide your target audience. Also, how to communicate your message clearly and concisely. Doing all these required steps will help the development of the brand strategy and positioning statement. Brands satisfy a couple of components such as brand expansion and brand platform development.
WHAT IMPORTANCE DOES IT SERVE? A well-built brand gives the company or product personality and evokes emotional and subliminal characteristics that are not necessarily found in the company or product themselves.
Branding Helps You Outdo Competition In a market that is now stiflingly competitive, how do you stand out from thousands of similar companies that claim to be as good as you, if not better? The need of the hour is to realize that you’re no longer competing at a local level. With the advancements in online and offline technologies, the entire world is your marketplace, literally. The proposition that your organization can and should cater to a universal audience implies that your growth potential is only limited by your imagination. However, the one downside to that is that you need to outdo that much more competition, potentially on a global level.
Branding Builds Trust As your audience gets to know your business better, they will start trusting you more. However, to develop that elusive trust factor, you must shout out loud as to why they should try you out. Here, building a brand helps determine how your first few customers perceive the quality of your services.
A brand promise is what your customer expects and gets from your company. Your promise is as good as your word and is the brand essence. The promise of your brand is represented as your logo and advertisement.A powerful brand strategy is built on emotions Emotion can be applied more directly in advertising, such as in a specific ad or campaign. Each emotional ad contributes to the emotional branding strategy — emotional ads are like the individual building blocks that create the structural integrity of the brand. Many companies will create emotional ads in response to major events, while also promoting their products or services. Using neuroscience techniques in conjunction with branding and marketing strategies yields some pretty compelling results. Targeting consumers with more effective ads means that you’ll better be able to engage your audience. When you’re engaging your audience, you’re building a relationship with them, which translates into a remarkable increase in customer lifetime value
A strong brand builds financial value into your company Brand preference creates firm value by measurably improving profits, cash flow, and share. If more financial executives understood the economics of customer behavior and the financial power of brand preference they would be better armed to work with CMOs to generate better financial performance.
Measures of brand preference can be a key lynchpin in the value chain because it predicts customer actions that can have significant business impact. By accurately and predictably measuring the impact of marketing activities on the hearts and minds of customers and potential customers, measures of preference connect marketing inputs to consumer behavioral outcomes.
CONCLUSION The best branding is built on a strong idea. An idea that you and your staff can hold on to, can commit to, and can deliver upon.
The OBC Bill provides constitutional status to the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC), which was established under the National Commission for Backward Classes Act, 1993. The power of examining complaints regarding the inclusion or exclusion of individuals or groups in the list of backward classes. The 123rd constitutional bill finally got a nod from the Supreme Court in August 2018 after being not established as a law in 2017 due to lack of majority in the house and inserted a new Article 338B.
This new bill gives the commission to investigate and monitor for the safeguard of the socially and educationally backward classes with the powers of a civil court while investigating and also gives it the power to summon any person across the country and also enforce their presence. As of earlier the commission for SC / ST used to hear for the grievances of the OBCs. The new bill also provides for having a chairperson for the commission, a vice-chairperson, and three other members who will be appointed by the President. The tenure and working conditions for all the members will be decided by the President. BJP government also assured that the committee would include a woman member also. The NCBC will be working for the socio-economic upliftment of the OBCs.
Duties of the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) are –
Investigation and Monitoring of the safety and provisions provided to the backward classes under the constitution and other implemented laws.
It can inquire about the violation of the rights-specific complaints.
Annual reports should be presented to the President, and to be tabled in Parliament and State Legislative Assemblies.
To give advice and make recommendations on the socio-economic development of the backward classes.
Reports suggest, that there is less than 15% reservation in the government sector jobs for the OBCs. According to the reports of the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) 8.4% grade A pots are occupied by OBCs, mentioned Ram Gopal Yadav, SP, Uttar Pradesh. He even said during the parliamentary debate on the OBC Bill that, there is no need for an OBC creamy layer, as raising the limit of the creamy layer won’t benefit anyone. And also, that, though there is a need to increase the reservation in jobs for the OBCs but getting jobs alone won’t help much. The mindset of people needs to change too. Parties like Biju Janata Dal and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam party asked for the power to add or eliminate in the list of backward classes to be laid in the hands of the State and not Centre the state knows better about what kind of people belong in that particular State while Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) asked for reservation for the OBCs even in the private sector. Some even asked for the filling of the reserved vacant seats and that the member of the committee should be chosen from the individuals belonging to the OBC category. However, article 342 A authorizes the President to specify for the socially and educationally backward classes in consultation with the Governors of the respective States. The present members to NCBC are Dr. Bhagwan Lal Sahni as the chairperson, Dr. Lokesh Kumar Prajapati as the Vice-Chairperson, Shri Ajoy Kumar as the Secretary, and the other three members are – Dr. Sudha Yadav, Shri Kaushalendra Singh Patel, and Shri Achary Thalloju.
BRIEF ABOUT ORACLE Oracles are small pieces of software whose purpose is to connect blockchains to external data. The most popular oracle projects currently are Chainlink, API3, Band Protocol, Augur and DOS Network. A data oracle provides the transfer of real-world data to smart contracts on the blockchain.Modefi’s main objective is developing Oracle blockchain solutions that empower true decentralization of data on-chain for integration via Smart Contracts.
INTRODUCTION AND EXPLANATION
Modefi is a decentralized oracle aggregator and on-demand oracle data provider. Powered by the native Modefi token (MOD), the platform offers a secure, decentralized marketplace, and an innovative, modifiable, modular dashboard.This means that it will use data from several different oracle markets and use its protocol to give a fair, trust-less, and decentralized solution to its users can be sure that a decentralized network of 3rd party agents will take care of aggregating and sourcing data for their smart contract. This reduces disputes, smart contract development costs, time as well as legal fees. Modefi will also allow developers to make one-time data requests for customized smart contracts to bring real-world data on-chain. Single-use oracles often provide limited or basic data and can be expensive to execute when doing so infrequently. Furthermore, traditional data validation models are often unsuitable for small tasks.This can be limiting for developers, as it restricts the amount of data they can handle.
PRICE : CURRENT AND PREDICTIONS
The current price of MOD is $2.030 and our data indicates that the asset price has been in a downtrend for the past 1 year.Modefi has been showing a declining tendency so we believe that similar market segments were not very popular in the given period. The future price of the asset is predicted at $1.8558 (-8.581% ) after a year according to current predictions.
USES IN POSSIBLE SECTORS
● The $MOD token will be used as a form of governance token, giving the community the power to be the major decision-maker behind any changes. ● Gambling ( Decentralized Casino’s that require pure randomized Data) ● Sports Betting (e-sports smart contracts) ● Voting results ; self-explanatory ● Insurance ( Automatic payouts based on environmental data) ● Predictions markets that require frequent Data updates ● P2P wagers (user-friendly, Trustless p2p betting)● LP pools ( not having to worry about impermanent loss from Arbitrageurs) ● Anything that relies on the accuracy of price data. One can use the $mod token to pay fees for the on-demand oracle, the oracle marketplace, as well as subscription fees talked about later down the line for the DeFi Dashboard.
SUMMARY
Mission is to provide truly decentralized, transparent, secure and precise oracle solutions for all off-chain data, on-chain. Oracle manipulation has been one of the biggest culprits when it comes to contract and Defi hacks
In the development of the lyric poetry during the Elizabethan Age, the sonnet form emerged and developed to its maturity. The etymological history of the word “sonnet” draws us back to the Italian word “sonneto”, which means “a little sound”. Sonnet, a subspecies of the lyric genre, is originally a small poem that is sung to music. it expresses through rhythmic melody a single emotion or idea and differs from other lyric forms by its delicate manner and strict treatment. The great sonneteers of the Elizabethan era were Sir Thomas Wyatt, Earl of Surrey, Edmund Spenser, Philip Sydney, Michael Drayton, Samuel Daniel and William Shakespeare.
Sir Thomas Wyatt is the innovator of sonnet writer in English Literature. His thirty one sonnets are noteworthy. They appeared in “Tottel’s Miscellany” published in 1577. Ten of these sonnets were the translation from Petrarch. Apart from couplet ending, which Wyatt introduced, it was a Petrarchan model. Though following Petrarch’s models closely, he remains pioneer in the realm of English Literature. Sir Thomas Wyatt was successfully followed by his contemporary and follower Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey. His poems appears along with Wyatt in “Tottel’s Miscellany”. they are chiefly lyrical and including a few sonnet, the first of their kind composed in English or Shakespearian mode.
The next remarkable name among the English Sonneteer is Sir Philip Sydney. He was successful in more than one era of literature. In the development of English sonnet his finest achievement was his “Astrophel and Stella” which contains series of 108 sonnets about his own frustrated love for Lady Penelope Rich, daughter of the Earl of Essex. Like Wyatt his sonnets owe much to Petrarch and Ronsard in tone and style places Sydney as the greatest Elizabethan sonneteer except Shakespeare.
Drayton, another sonneteer of the Elizabethan age may claim some attention. He reached his highest level of poetic feeling and expression in “Idea” a sonnet sequence. It is not know if hid “Idea” represents one woman or several or more.
Samuel Daniel is a sonneteer of great repute. his poems including sonnet series called Delia(1592) written in conventional manner. His style and versification are pure and correct; some of his best sonnet have occasionally real jewels of expression and carry on the great tradition of Sydney, Spenser and Shakespeare.
Edmund Spenser a great name in Elizabethan poetry, also attempted sonnets. His sonnet sequence ‘Amoretti’ a collection of 88 Petrarchan sonnets celebrating the progress of his love. These were addressed to Elizabeth Boyle who became his life. The sonnets are unique in their purity of passion. His sonnets are exquisitely musical and lofty in feeling and thoughts. Majority of the sonnets are inspired by platonic idealism there quatrains are linked by an artistic arrangement of rhyme are following by a couplet. The result is a harmonious whole.
Shakespeare is great name in English sonnet and theatre. One hundred and fifty four sonnets of him stand out as the specimen of his art. The sonnets are insuperable for their loftiness. Picture sequence, profundity, and melody one hundred and twenty six only address to a young man of rather uncertain identity. Twenty six of his sonnets are addressed to an unknown dark lady and the remaining two are addressed to cupid, the God of love. Shakespearean sonnets are somewhat different from Elizabethan era. His sonnets are not merely about love but masculine friendship also. They are not realistic and does not have the sentimental adoration of the lady love. The lady in his sonnets is dark, not beautiful; frail and cruel, not consonant and kind. The fourteen lines of Shakespearean sonnet are divided into four parts three quatrains and a concluding couplet. The quatrains say the subject and the couplet sums it up. His imagery and thought are quite extraordinary for the era he belonged to.
Compulsory public service by the citizens of a rustic isn’t a replacement concept. Several countries across the world make it mandatory to participate in some sort of public service or another. In total, about seventy-five countries have some sort of mandatory service. These could include learning care , tutoring, serving within the military for a particular period of your time , and lots of other activities.
There are major perks for doing service , like reduction of mortgages, educational opportunities, advantages within the application.
For instance, Israel recognizes service as a serious integrating force, a time when children of all backgrounds meet and mingle as Israelis. it’s especially important for brand spanking new immigrants. There are major educational programs as a part of service , which teach language, history, and culture as how for all Israelis to know their national framework.
National service includes assisting at hospitals, with the elderly, handicapped, with children, clerking in government offices, welfare work , and faculty . It are often arranged in order that people doing service are working in their own community (this is usually important for religious women, both Jewish and Muslim) as a matter of modesty.
Also, during a democratic country, like India, the state cannot compel any citizen to try to to any public service, but under Article 51A of the Constitution of India, the citizens shall have the duty and Fundamental Duty to defend the country and render service when called upon to try to to so.
In Canada (so very almost like the United Kingdom), “The public service” is that the core administration of the govt . you’ll find during this the Defence department, Natural Resources department, Immigration, etc. If you enter the general public sector (where there also are crown corporations) you’ll find Canada Post, the Bank of Canada, and other institutions that are run just about sort of a business but that ultimately are a portfolio of a core public service department that answers to a Minister. i think that the general public service and therefore the public sector in Canada have about 400 000 thousand employees (federal level). it’s the most important employer within the country (and each province has its own public service supported its jurisdiction as per the constitution).
The only reason why there’s a debate regarding this issue is thanks to the very fact that there are misguided patriots who believed that each citizen must prove their love and loyalty to the present country by doing public service. the govt shouldn’t tend the facility to coerce its citizens to interact in one or maybe two years of public service; it’s against the law of the land. it might be best for the govt to market the ideals of volunteerism so as to recruit and train folks that are wanting to serve.
There are those that contend that the citizens of this country must be compelled to interact publicly service. this might appear to be the foremost patriotic thing to try to to but the Bill of Rights clearly stipulates that no citizen are often forced by the govt to try to to something.
This is also an unproductive exercise because coercion can cause defiant behavior and dear litigation. it’s the work of the govt to influence people to hitch . The spirit of volunteerism must be cultivated. the govt must demonstrate that public servants are well-appreciated. As a result there would be more volunteers that are ready and ready to serve.
