MAHABHARAT

The MAHABHARATis one of the epic stories in our Indian history, other than Ramayan. It portrays the struggle between the two gangs of cousins “the pandava” and “the kaurava” in the Kurukshetra.

The Mahabharat is considered as the longest epic poem known and has been described as “the longest poem ever written”

THE OLDER GENERATION

 Shantanu, the king of Hastinapur, once’s married with goddess Ganga and has son with her named Devavrata later knowns as Bhishma. After many years, when King Shantanu sees Satyavati while he was hunting, she was the daughter of the chief of fisherman, and asks her father for her hand. Her father refuses for marriage unless the King Shantanu promises to make their son as the king of the Hastinapur after his death. To resolve his father’s dilemma, Devavrata agrees to relinquish his right to the throne. And takes the oath of not getting married to anyone. Later Satyavati gave birth to his two sons  Chitrangada and Vichitravirya. The miseries still have not ended, king Shantanu died soon and their son Chitrangada also lived a short life. After all this Vichitravirya was announced as the king of Hastinapur and he was later married to the kasi daughters Amika and Ambalika. The older daughter Amba refuses to marry as she wish to marry swayamvara but due to certain reasons swayamvara refuses to marry her and with this she became the great enemy of Bhishma and she gives herself to the angi (fire). And later she was born as Shrikhandi the daughter of Drupada. She was the cause of Bhishma’s death and wish to defeat him with the help of Arujuna.

PANDVA AND KAURAVA PRINCES

Vichitravirya was died young with no children later Satyavati ask Vyas to father them with the widows. The eldest, Ambika, gives birth to her son Dhritarashtra who as born blind. Ambalika gave birth to her son Pandu. Later Ambika and Ambalika send their maid instead, to Vyasa’s room. Vyasa fathers a third son, Vidur, by the maid. He was announced as Prime Minister (Mahamantri or Mahatma) to King Pandu and King Dhritarashtra.
When both the princes grow up, Dhritarashtra was about to be crowned king by Bhishma but due to his blindness King Pandu was honoured and the throne was given to him. Dhritarashtra was married to the Gandhari, a princess from Ghandhara, Pandu was married twice to, kunti and madri. Ghandhari also blindfolded herself for the rest of her life to feel the pain as her husband Dhritarashtra.
Her brother Shakuni was angry as his sister was married to an blind man and vows to take revenge on the Kuru family.
Later Pandu, Madri and Kunti went for excel and their they had their 5 sons. Kunti was give boon by the Druvasa that she could invoke any mantra and have her son. Kunti uses this boon to ask Dharma the god of justice, Vayu the god of the wind, and Indra the lord of the heavens for sons. She gives birth to three sons, Yudhishthira, Bhima, and Arjuna, And shares her rest mantra with Madri, she later gave birth to twins Nakul and Sahadeva through the Ashwini, Later on usually referred to as the Pandava brothers.
Due to uncertain situation King Pandu died and Madri commits suicide.
Ghandhari gave birth to her hundred sons, all born after the birth of Yudhishthira. These where names as the Kaurava brothers, the eldest being Duryodhana and the second Dusasaha.. The competitiveness and enmity between them and the Pandava brothers, leads to the Kurukshetra war.

COMPONENTS OF A MAP

A map should include the following components namely, the title, scale, direction, grid system, projection, legend, conventional signs and symbols.

Title

It indicates the purpose or theme of the map. Example: India – Physical, World – Political, Tamil Nadu – Transport.

Scale

Scale makes it possible to reduce the size of the whole earth to show it on a piece of paper. A scale is a ratio between the actual distance on the map to the actual distance on the ground. Scales can be represented in three methods. They are the Statement, Representative Fraction (R.F) and Linear or Graphical scale methods.

Statement scale

Scale makes it possible to reduce the size of the whole earth to show it on a piece of paper. A scale is a ratio between the actual distance on the map to the actual distance on the ground. Scales can be represented in three methods. They are the Statement, Representative Fraction (R.F) and Linear or Graphical scale methods.

The Representative Fraction (R.F)

Representative Fraction (R.F) = Distance on the map/Distance on the ground

Linear or Graphical scale

In a map, a linear scale is represented by a straight line divided into equal parts (Primary and Secondary) to show what these markings represent on the actual ground. This scale helps in the direct measurement of distance on the map.

Direction

Maps are drawn normally with north orientation. North direction in a map is always towards the North Pole of the earth. If you position yourself looking at the North Pole, on your right will be the east; your left will be the west; at your back will be south. These four main directions are called the cardinal directions. Direction is usually indicated on a map by a North-South line, with the North direction represented by an arrow head.

Grid System

The location of a place can be simply defined by its latitude and longitude. In normal practice, latitude is stated first and then comes the longitude. The latitude and longitude of a place can be expressed in units of degree, minutes and seconds.

Projection

A map projection is a way of showing the spherical shaped earth on a flat piece of paper. Where does the word ‘projection’ come from? Imagine a clear globe with latitude and longitude lines and the outlines of the landmass on it. Suppose there was a light bulb inside the globe. If you wrapped a piece of paper around the globe and turned on the light bulb, the outlines of the grid and landmasses would be projected onto the paper. Map projection is defined as the transformation of spherical network of latitudes and longitudes on a plane surface. Projection are drawn to maintain the shape, area and direction.

The three methods in widest use are as follow:
• Projection on the surface of a cylinder
• Projection on to the surface of a cone
• Projection directly onto a flat plane, called planar or zenithal or azimuthal projection

Legend

The legend of a map helps to understand the map details which are placed at the left or right corner at the bottom of the map.

Conventional signs and symbols

Conventional signs and symbols are standard symbols used on a map and explained in the legend to convey a definite meaning. The topographic map contains a variety of information about physical and cultural features.

These are shown by using signs and symbols in various colours so that the clarity of the map is maintained.

There are three types of map symbols

• Point Symbols – buildings, dipping tanks, trigonometrical beacons
• Line Symbols – railways, roads, power lines, telephone lines
• Area Symbols – Cultivated lands, ponds, orchards and vineyards

INDIAN NAVY DAY

OVERVIEW :-

Indian Navy Day is celebrated every year on December 4 to salute Indian Navy for their exceptional duties of protecting the water boundaries of motherland India. 4 December was chosen to celebrate the Navy Day because on this date in the year 1971, Indian Navy fought a ferocious war against Pakistan.

MONSOON – BOON AND BANE

The coming of the rains signifies relief from the scorching heat of summer. Holding hands in the summer comes the rains. The rainy season begins in mid-June and lasts until September. Dark and dark skies are a common occurrence during the rainy season, indicating only the much-anticipated rainfall. Although the rains disrupt our daily routine and cause occasional interruptions, the rainy season is always welcome.

At the beginning of the rains, people were seen digging out their umbrellas, raincoats and gumboots. Pupils are seen running to school with raincoats and umbrellas and sometimes very happy to take a shower in the rain. Office travelers seem to rush to the offices so that they can arrive on time. Sometimes when there is too much rain, life stops during the rainy season. Traffic jams, flooded roads, and floodplains, as well as people and children roaming the floodwaters, are common during the monsoon season. Sometimes it is good to watch the children float paper towels in the flooded water. Best of all, the ‘rainy day’ holiday is always welcome this season.

The rainy season is a blessing for farmers across the country and for agriculture. Farmers all over the country are waiting for the floods as the monsoon rains are very important for crop growth. During the rainy season the fields, crops, trees and plants survive. The whole environment comes to life in the ‘green sea’ during the rainy season. It is important that the rains come in time or else the late rains can cause drought; farming is also affected. Apart from modern farming methods, the rainy season is a pond for the farmer and his fields, the inturn which is the source of our food. A variety of plants, vegetables and plants grow in the air. Beautiful flowers also bloom during this time. Dry rivers are flooded by torrential rains for many across the country.

Rainy season has no disadvantages. Sometimes the blessings of this season are turned into curses because of natural disasters and catastrophes. Sometimes when the rains do not arrive on time, a drought occurs. Extreme rainfall also causes severe damage to crops. River flooding causes severe flooding, damaging property, fields and crops, and loss of life. Landslides during the rainy season in the highlands cause many to lose their lives, their homes and their lives. In urban areas the people most affected by hurricanes are people who live on the streets. Poor street dwellers are losing their homes due to heavy rains and floods. Several diseases such as malaria, diarrhea, typhoid and cholera appear to occur among people during the rainy season.

In all of them the blessings of the rain pass when curses and evil abound. The entire cycle of life on earth is connected to the rains. So the arrival of the rain announces the message of creation; and the aroma of rain in the air brings us back to life after the scorching heat and the unending heat of summer.

Bio – War

Biological warfare, also known as germ warfare, is the use of biological toxins or infectious agents such as plagues, bacteria, viruses, insects, and fungi with the intent to kill, harm or incapacitate humans, animals or plants as an act of war.

Deadliest bio weapon

Bacillus Anthracis (Anthrax)

Bacillus anthracis bacteria, which causes anthrax, is one of the most deadly agents to be used as a biological weapon. It is classified by the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a Category A agent, posing a significant risk to national security.

when it is actually started ?

One of the first recorded uses of biological warfare occurred in 1347, when Mongol forces are reported to have catapulted plague-infested bodies over the walls into the Black Sea port of Caffa (now Feodosiya, Ukraine), at that time a Genoese trade centre in the Crimean Peninsula.

Biological warfare is distinct from warfare involving other types of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), including nuclear warfare, chemical warfare, and radiological warfare. None of these are considered conventional weapons, which are deployed primarily for their explosive, kinetic, or incendiary potential

Biological weapons may be employed in various ways to gain a strategic or tactical advantage over the enemy, either by threats or by actual deployments. Like some chemical weapons, biological weapons may also be useful as area denial weapons. These agents may be lethal or non-lethal, and may be targeted against a single individual, a group of people, or even an entire population. They may be developed, acquired, stockpiled or deployed by nation states or by non-national groups. In the latter case, or if a nation-state uses it clandestinely, it may also be considered bioterrorism.

With the onset of World War II, the Ministry of Supply in the United Kingdom established a biological warfare program at Porton Down, headed by the microbiologist Paul Fildes. The research was championed by Winston Churchill and soon tularemia, anthrax, brucellosis, and botulism toxins had been effectively weaponized. In particular, Gruinard Island in Scotland, was contaminated with anthrax during a series of extensive tests for the next 56 years. Although the UK never offensively used the biological weapons it developed, its program was the first to successfully weaponize a variety of deadly pathogens and bring them into industrial production. Other nations, notably France and Japan, had begun their own biological weapons programs.

How to stop bio weapon ?

Elements of preparedness include vaccinating military personnel against anthrax and other diseases caused by biological weapons; developing methods for the rapid detection of biological threat agents; developing and stockpiling vaccines and antimicrobial drugs that could be used to protect the public against diseases

When the United States entered the war, Allied resources were pooled at the request of the British, and the U.S. established a large research program and industrial complex at Fort Detrick, Maryland in 1942 under the direction of George W. Merck. The biological and chemical weapons developed during that period were tested at the Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah. Soon there were facilities for the mass production of anthrax spores, brucellosis, and botulism toxins, although the war was over before these weapons could be of much operational use.

Indian Culture

Indian cultures and traditions are popular all over the world.Various art forms such as dance, painting, music also a part of Indian’s heritage. People in India are very religious and spiritual. Indians are also humble, kind and helpful. India has a culture, to welcome and treat guests like God.Indian culture is very rich and it has a unique position in the world.We have a tradition of respecting elders, being truthful and helping each other.Many people in India still live in joint families with grandparents, uncle, etc.This helps children in family to learn culture and traditions from childhood

INDIAN CULTURE

No matter what, they always live together and celebrates each others festivals with great enthusiasm.Many different eras have come and ruled the Indian culture but nothing could influence the rich cultural heritage. Younger generations are still in touch with their ancestors and are therefore able to learn and acquire their cultural and tradition values.The property of togetherness amongst people has made India a unique country.I am really proud of our Indian culture.

Polynomials and identities

Photo by George Becker on Pexels.com

TO start with the topic first of all its necessary to know basic identities:-

a + b whole square is what? I.e a square +2ab+ b square. Similarly there are many more. TO begin with our basic topic we will try some questions and their approaches.

Q1. IF x +1/x = 4 then what is x2 +1/x2

So guys we are given value of x + 1/x =4. Now simply square both sides. You will get x2 + 2 + 1/x2 as 16. Now if you take to on RHS side it will be simply 16-2 i.e 14. Hence 14 is your answer. So dear reader you can follow a shortcut to solve orally that 4 square minus 2. I.e same 16-2 . Similarly if you have 9 instead of 4 in the question the answer would be 81-2 =79.

If now instead of this you need to find value of x4 +1/x4 . Then how would you solve. Just take out value of earlier one and square it and minus. For eg in first question as 14 was our answer subtract 2 from it and its your new answer .

Q2. If now in first question you need to find x3 +1/x3 (note its cube not three)

So you can use a shortcut i.e. p3 -3p. I.e. 4 cube -4×3 which will be 64-12=52.

Q3. If x-1/x =p then x3-1/x3 will be

Its easy just in above formula replace minus sign by plus . p3+3p.

Q4. If in first question I need to find x5+1/x5 then.

Here you need to know just the basic formula (xa )b = xa+b . Dear reader we now that 2+3=5 . So find the value in example 1 and 2. I.e 14 and 52 now multiply both of them and minus with value in question. 728-4=724.

He also played a pivotal oraganisational , technical, and political role in Indias Pokhran -II nuclear tests in1998, the first since the original nuclear test by India in 1974.

If you eat today, Thank a farmer

A farmer is one of the most important members of society. He is the giver of food to the people, to all practical purposes. He gets up early in the morning and goes to his fields. The term usually to applies to people who do some combination of raising fields crops,orchards,vineyards,poultry, or other livestock.

A farmer (also called an agriculturer) is a person engaged in agriculture,raising living organisms for food or raw materials.

ORGANIC FARMING

• Organic farming is the best and the most viable alternative for traditional farming techniques.

• The producer of organic farming has high nutritional value in comparison to conventional food.

• Organic farming helps in reducing soil pollution and air pollution.

• Use of harmful chemical fertilizers and pesticides will poison our food cycle.

• India has the most organic farmers in the whole world.

• The only disadvantage of organic farming is it is costlier in comparison to conventional farming methods.

Organic farming

Farmers have great important in our society. They are the ones who provide us food. Since every person needs proper food for their living, so they are a necessity for the society. There are different types of farmers, and they all have equal significance.

* Farmers are the backbone of our country.

* All the economic development in the country is possible only if the farming community is taken care of on a priority basis.

* Agriculture industry contributes more than 15% to India’s GDP.

* Unpredictable climate conditions, no proper pricing in place and lack of help from the government is what is leading to farmer distress in the country.

* India has one of the highest farmer suicide rates in the country.

* Food corporation of India buys produce directly from farmers and store it in their cold storage units for use during emergencies.

AI AND MEDICAL SCIENCE: BLESSING OR CURSE?

Investigating the latest trends in medical science, comes Google’s new innovation, Derm Assist. The new AI tool provides people to identify skin, hair and nail conditions. As such, it is a powerful tool for the ongoing situation but it raises concern from experts and specialists. The main concern comes from the fact that self-diagnosing and treating without understanding the real cause problems and such practices can result in creating side effects and conditions which can’t be irreversible. Experts are also worried about the impact of such AI tools to their profession. They believe that their expertise and potential cant be made use of. They believe such tools can initiate the growth of a new culture where people substitute in-house consultation with new AI tools and the use over-the-counter medications. By doing this, they may complicate their physical condition and it will be difficult to treat afterwards. Experts believe information on the internet can be misleading and even if the information is correct, language/content can be so complex that it can create confusion among masses.

Skin is the largest organ on the human body, but is often neglected. Studies shows that billions of people search for skin, hair and nail related issues over the internet annually. But it is always recommended to seek professional advice so that one can get a full diagnosis and put a treatment plan in place. Even if we consult a General Practitioner for a skin condition, he will advise us to seek help from a dermatologist. This shows that even experts in the same field recommends a specialist for these cases and showcases the risk involved in self-medication.

The main dermatological concern in the gulf region are pigmentation and sun damage. These arid areas are too hot that it can damage our skin. It can cause skin conditions such as early aging and in the worst case, skin cancer. If we take moles as an example, there are criteria that differentiate between normal ones and that are a cause for concern. It is not an easy task to determine whether they pose a risk. Only experts who have studied for a long time and are well-versed in the anatomy of moles can differentiate between the two. A normal human being cannot detect the difference, even with the help of the new AI tools.

There is so much of concern about the new technology. But adopting and engraving desirable features to the currently established system can make a huge difference. By saying this, experts ensures that AI can be the future of the medical industry, if strict regulations and the use should be restricted to qualified people. There should be a well scripted and developed system where professionals and patients can benefit from.

Hinduism | Origin, Deities, Beliefs & some other basic things people should know about.

Hinduism is now the third largest religious community with more than 1 Billion followers around the world.

The Yugs (Era)

There are 4 different Yugs (Era) Every Yuga is Shorter than the preceding one and in each Yuga the humanity will be found less than the Old Yugas. The 4 Yugs are:

  • Satya Yug
  • Treta Yug
  • Dvapara Yug
  • Kali Yug

Kali Yug Lasts for 4,320,000 years (12,000 divine years). The Kali Yug (Present Era) is Believed that started around 3102 BCE. In the ancient texts of Purans it was also written that the Kali Yug will be dominated by Hatred, intolerance, lust, and corruption.

Hinduism Origin

The Vedic Period where Vedas Were written was lasted around 1500 BC to 500 BC. At that period rituals Used to make sacrifices, chants, and many other mystical practices of that periodic time. It was really hard to be found the exact time period that when did the Hindu religion was actually originated. As per scholars the birth of Hinduism was found in the Indus River Valley, which runs through Northwest India to Pakistan. It was originated around 4500-5000 BCE. The Indus River Valley was diminished around 1800 BC cause of climatic conditions. It was also named as Sindhu as, a Sanskrit Word. It’s location created a lot of problems because of the Iranian plateau. Around 712 AD, Muslims invaded the The Indus Valley.

Weekend

All five previous days that I had spent in my life is a vain and now it’s time to answer because the weekend is finally here!!!

For others the weekend is usually a time to relax or a time to do what they wanted to do, through the week but for me it is a time to catch up with my sleep, to continue my dreams or a time to be well spent with my family and friends. There are 365 days in a year but there are only 52 weekend days so take the time to do what you would love to do. It feels awesome to spend the priceless weekend with family and friends instead of spending it with Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Weekend is like a mirage, it seems to be there but when you reach it disappears . Every single day in week days goes like an year but the weekend ,for which I was waiting the whole week goes like just few seconds. I didn’t expect that the weekend would pass so quick, it feels like,”can I repeat it?”.

Not all weekends are wonderful and has big moments , some weekends might be quite and simple but still with plenty of memories. Every weekend may not be a good weekend but there is something good in every weekend, start exploring it.

The weekend is a time of on alarm,no need to stuff my breakfast ,no ugly shoes and socks, no need to rush up to the bus stop,no urgent phone calls ,no need to attend meetings with a sleepy face and finally no sleepless working nights.

Stop counting the hours and start enjoying it. “Better days are on the way ,there are called weekend”.
