The giant panda (panda bear/ panda) can be found in South Central China, primarily they live in China’s Yangtze river basin. Pandas were actually belongs to group of carnivorous animals but still it eats more of bamboo leaves and shoots. They occasionally eat grasses, wild tubers and even meat of birds or rodents.
Why giant pandas became endangered species of animals?
They were endangered mainly because of habitat loss. During the year of 1984 people of China started to clear bamboo forests which is needed more in number for the survival of pandas because they live in forests, they cannot adapt to live outside the forests and they also eat the same. People used to hunt them to make money from their skins. in the year 1990 pandas were declared as endangered.
Why pandas were removed from list of endangered species now?
After nearly 30 years of struggle to preserve species of giant pandas. Now there is an evidence documenting the increase in population of the pandas. Now 25% China’s land designated for ecological protection according to China’s State Council Information Office.

Tropical cyclones are intense circular storms that originate over the warm tropical oceans with more than 119 kilometres per hour speed and heavy rains. Mainly, the greatest damage to life and property caused not from the wind but from other secondary events including storm surges, flooding, landslides and tornadoes. Tropical cyclones are among the foremost destructive weather phenomena and also known as typhoons or hurricanes. They include a number of different hazards that can individually cause significant impacts on life and property, such as storm surge, flooding, extreme winds, tornadoes and lighting.
Tropical cyclones are known by various names in different parts of the world. In the North Atlantic ocean and the eastern North Pacific they are called hurricanes, and in the western North Pacific around the Japan, and China the storms are referred to as typhoons. In the western South Pacific and Indian ocean they are variously referred to as severe tropical cyclones, tropical cyclones, or simply cyclones. All these different names refer to the same type of storm. The tropical cyclone is formed when a transfer of water vapour and heat from the warm ocean to the overlying air occurred primarily by evaporation from the surface of the sea. As we know that warm, moist air rises, it expands and cools, quickly and become saturated and released latent heat due to the condensation of water vapour. By this process, the column of air in the core of the developing disturbance is warmed and moistened. The temperature difference is formed between the warm, rising air and the cooler environment that causes air to become buoyant and enhance its upward movement. If the surface of the sea is too cool then there will not be enough heat available and the rate of evaporation will be low to provide fuel to the tropical cyclone. Even the supply of energy will also be cut off due to warm surface water layer is not enough deep. It happens because the tropical system modifies the underlying ocean. The sea surface becomes cool due to the falling of the rain from the deep convective clouds and the strong winds in the centre if the storm will further create turbulence. If this resulting mixing brings cool water from the below the surface layer to the surface, the fuel supply for the tropical system will be removed.
A tropical cyclone that remains over the ocean and moves into higher latitudes will change its structure and become extra tropical as it encounters cooler water. Each year the impacts of tropical cyclones and other weather, climate and water extremes around the Earth give rise to multiple casualties and significant damage to property and infrastructure, with adverse economic consequences for communities that can persist for many years.

Insomnia, also known as sleeplessness, is a common sleep disorder that can make it hard for the person to fall asleep, hard to stay asleep or cause to wake up too early and not be able to get back to sleep. Insomnia is typically followed by daytime sleepiness, low energy, irritability and a depressed mood. It may result in an increased risk of motor vehicle collisions, as well as problems focusing and learning. How much sleep is enough varies from person to person, but most adults need seven to eight hours a night. Insomnia can occur independently or as a result of some another problem. Conditions that can result in insomnia include psychological stress, chronic pain, heart failure, hyperthyroidism, heart burn, menopause, certain medications and drugs such as caffeine, nicotine and alcohol. Other risk factors include working night shifts and sleep apnea.
SYMPTOMS:-
Insomnia symptoms may include:-
difficulty falling asleep at night.
waking up during the night.
waking up too early.
not feeling well-rested after a night’s sleep.
daytime tiredness or sleepiness.
irritability, depression or anxiety.
difficulty paying attention, focusing on tasks or remembering.
ongoing worries about sleep.
CAUSES:-
Insomnia may be the primary problem or it may be associated with other conditions. Chronic Insomnia is usually a result of stress, life events or habits that disrupt sleep. Treating the underlying cause can resolve the insomnia, but sometimes it can last for years. Chronic Insomnia may also be associated with medical conditions or the use of certain drugs. Common causes of chronic insomnia include:-
Stress- concerns about work, school, health, finances, family can keep the mind active and occupied every time, making it difficult to sleep.
Travel or work schedule- the circadian rhythms of our body act as an internal clock, guiding such things as the sleep-wake cycle, metabolism and body temperature. Disrupting the body’s circadian rhythms can lead to insomnia.
poor sleep habits- include an irregular bedtime schedule, naps, stimulating activities before bed, an uncomfortable sleep environment, watching smart phones or other screens.
eating too much late in the evening- may cause the person to feel physically uncomfortable while lying down. Many people also experience heartburn, a backflow of acid and food from the stomach into the esophagus after eating, which may keep them awake.
Additional causes of Insomnia include:-
Mental health disorders- anxiety disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder may also be the reason for disruption during sleep. Awakening too early can be a sign of depression.
Medications- many prescription drugs can interfere with sleep such as certain antidepressants.
Medical conditions- such as chronic pain, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD) etc.
sleep related disorders.
caffeine, nicotine and alcohol.
PREVENTION:-
Good sleep habits can help prevent insomnia and promote sound sleep:-
keep the bedtime and wake time consistent from day to day.
staying active- regular activities help to promote a good sleep.
check the medications to see if they may contribute to insomnia.
avoid or limit naps.
avoid or limit caffeine and alcohols.
keep yourself calm and relaxed when going to sleep.

Abstract : In the Disney world, we can see that gender role-play a very prominent role. It is something people look forward to and observe while watching a movie and depicting certain characters in certain ways could change the way men and women are expected to be like and it sets a standard of how their role should look like. Very frequently, many female characters are portrayed as weak, and always in need of a man to save them. For instance, Cinderella, snow white, etc. There are only a handful number of movies where the female takes it upon herself to not give in to societal norms and standards.
Introduction: The main focus of this article is to throw light on the representation of female characters in gynocentric Disney movies. Disney was originally founded on October 16, 1923. It was finally renamed The Walt Disney Company in 1986. Disney has given a lot of people all over the world comfort through their unparallel storytelling, extraordinary productions, and unbeatable attention to detail. Even with all the amazing storylines, it’s mostly gynocentric and male-oriented. Their portrayal of women is very outdated and affects the perception of women in the real world. This research is important as it helps us realize why the way men and women are portrayed in a particular manner can be harmful and deceiving, as in the movies men are shown to be powerful, strong, level headed and manly while the female characters are shown to be weak, always in need of help, in need of a male character to help them be liberal and achieve happiness. This can send the wrong message to people who are trying to accept themselves as they are and not care about how others wish them to be. In modern times like this, media or visual entities hold a lot of power and therefore it is important for the messages to be conveyed in the right manner and make sure that it doesn’t change the progress of the real world. If men and women are given equally important roles and represented with equality, it would spread a positive message and the receiver would also have a positive outlook of the world.
Data Analysis, Result, and Discussion: The first movie is Tarzan release in 2003 was an orphaned his parents were killed by the cheetahs when he was a baby. He was adopted by a gorilla and Kala and spent his early years trying to imitate them. The entire movie displayed him as a masculine, strong, fierce hunter, worrier, and independent. When the ape Kerchak attacks and tried to kill him, he wins the fight the takes Kerchak’s place as the king of the ape. On the other hand, Jane has been portrayed as weak, emotional, and fragile. Jane and her father research Gorilla, so she came to the jungle with Clayton to get more information about them. At first, Jane has shown bravery and courage trying to stop Clayton from killing the gorillas. Clayton was using the trip so that he can kill the gorillas and sell them. But once she meets Tarzan and falls in love with him, she completely relies on him and the others to save her from every difficult situation she faced. While the baboons chased her Tarzan save her. When the pirate guy tries to hit her again Tarzan saves her. When they are imprisoned on the boat instead of trying to find how to escape, she just stays there and waits for Tarzan. In the movie, Jane always follows Tarzan wherever he goes. The way how Jane was portrayed in the movie is common to many other female characters, it says something not about them as an individual but how the society view women and their place and expectations.
The second movie is Cinderella release in 2007 is a classic fairy story, a rags-to-riches tale about a kind-hearted girl who suffers various hardships only to marry the prince of the kingdom. In Cinderella, men are portrayed as the upper gender, because of the sociological position of women at that time when they were considered inferior and of an inferior class and wealth. Cinderella’s father played no important role in Cinderella’s life. Most of the time, she was controlled by her evil mother-in-law. Cinderella was seen as happy and she looks like she is enjoyed doing household chores she still dreams of her happiness ever after. Cinderella is a typical image of a distressed lady because the only one who can save her from her miserable life was the prince. Cinderella will be stuck in her miserable life forever if the prince won’t save her. This shows the status of women at the time who idealized marriage and the role of being at home to taking care of babies and care for the husband. In addition, by showing the differences the step-sisters had with Cinderella, children can think that step-sisters share a nasty relationship, which isn’t the case on many occasions. It is important to not label or relate certain achievements or actions to a person’s gender because that’s not always the case.
The third movie with a strong female character is Frozen which was released in 2013. This movie talks about women’s power and how there is strength in unity and beauty in accepting oneself as they are. The movie starts with two sisters, Elsa and Anna where Elsa was born with magical powers to create ice but she unintentionally hurts Anna and is no longer confident about her powers, and their parents decide that it’s best to hide her powers. Due to this, the two sisters grow apart and there’s a distance between them but one day during Elsa’s coronation, Anna meets Prince Hans of Isle. They fall in love but Elsa doesn’t approve of them and accidentally shows her powers to the world and that’s where Anna realizes how difficult it must’ve been for Elsa. Elsa escapes and Anna follows her where she meets Christoph, a very ordinary man who works in the business of collecting ice. They both leave to find Elsa and convince her to go back but to no avail. Elsa realizes that the mountains are where she belongs as she cannot hurt anyone and can freely do magic. Elsa strikes Anna’s heart which can only be healed by “an act of true love”, so she travels back to Arendelle to Hans but quickly realizes that it was all an act and he was only after her wealth. In the meantime, Hans captures Elsa to put an end to her but she successfully escapes. Hans finds her and is about to strike her when Anna throws herself to save her sister’s life and Elsa is in disbelief and starts weeping and that’s when Anna comes back to life as the “act of true love” mentioned above was sisterly love. This movie has a strong message that women need to stick together and how there is power in being one.
The fourth movie chosen is Moana released in 2016. This movie is about a girl who is supposed to be leading an island but shows very little interest in that particular topic but she finds water to be very fascinating and is drawn to it from the very beginning but isn’t allowed to be anywhere near water as it’s considered to be dangerous or unknown. Moana tries her best to make sure she fulfills her duty as someone who should lead but is unable to do so and therefore begins her journey with water. In the movie, we can see how her grandmother always encouraged Moana to find her true calling and follow her dreams and find happiness in whatever she does. The movie starts with her grandmother reading an ancient tale to the children of the island which nobody considers to be true but her grandmother is sure that it’s not all a lie. Maui is a demigod who runs away with the stone or nature’s heart which starts to corrupt the world and destroy it. Moana is the only one why can put things back to place as she is the chosen one and is supposed to deliver the stone with Maui beyond the reef. She goes on an adventure to save the world and finds Maui and even though she faces a lot of hardship in her path, she still makes sure to deliver the stone as the fate of her island and the world depended on her. During the journal, she realizes that her ancestors were voyagers and the island residents started voyaging again once the issue was solved as they deeply believed in Moana. This entire movie has proved that women need to take matters into their own hands and face obstacles head-on and have faith in themselves. They should be able to freely follow their gut feeling and be able to do whatever they want to without needing anyone’s permission or approval.
Conclusion: This article aimed to view the gender representation of female characters in gynocentric Disney movies. It analyzes four different Disney movies. Earlier the female characters are given a minor role and did not hold any importance in the movies. Even in this age and time, Disney shows how women need men to achieve happiness and freedom. Movies like Mulan and Moana need to be advocated more so women can find their happiness in their way and they don’t need a man to fulfill their interests. However, as gender roles have changed, the female characters in Disney animations have also changed with gaining more importance in their roles.

Afforestation is very useful to prevent and maintain the oxygen levels. Due to the deforestation, many of the trees are being cut and the oxygen supply has been reduced very drastically. Afforestation will help to maintain the oxygen levels in the atmosphere and helps the individual and the world to be healthy all the time. Oxygen is the minimum need for the individual to survive on the earth. If there is no oxygen, then which will cannot live or survive. When there is no o2, It is equally difficult for the animals to survive.
It also helps to maintain good forests. Deforestation, that is cutting of the trees makes the land abandoned and trees life less. When an individual takes a step forward to plant trees that is afforestation, good number of trees will be grown and the forests will be developed.
The most important thing for the animal’s survival is trees that give shelter and plants for the food. When the trees are being cut, some of the animals find no shelter and sometimes no food to eat. When afforestation takes place animals will find good shelter and also good food to eat.
Importance of Afforestation :
Afforestation helps to addess all the issues of soil erosion and barren land at the same time. Tress acts as wind barriers thereby weakening the speed of the wind and reducing its impact and ability to carry big soil particles.
The impacts of afforestation is occuring in many parts of world, can modify the nature and transformations of soil organic carbon and associated soil prevents, which in turn can affect plant diversity and ecosystem function. Afforestation also decreased soil bulk density and pH, and increased soil water content.
Types of Afforestation :
Afforestation materials are mainly divided into three categories: seed,seedling,and cutting. The choice of these three types of afforestation materials and methods is related to site conditions, tree species and age.
Various causes of Afforestation :
* Afforestation is highly fundamental in creating an alternative source pool of nature resource.
* Afforestation aids in tackling global warming and stabilizing global temperatures.
* protection of sensitive areas, biodiversity, and natural cycles.
* Afforestation can support wildlif.
* Afforestation creates employment and can provide a source of livelihood.
Advantages of Afforestation :
* A constant supply of forest products.
* prevents soil erosion.
* stabilizes the climate.
* Has the potential of reversing global warming and climate change.
* Better quality air.
* Improve watershed.
* preservation of wildlife.
* provision of employment and economic opportunities.
Disadvantages of Afforestation :
If not properly managed, afforestation can result in a reduction of local biodiversity, the modification of particular biomes, the intriduction of non – native and potentially invasive species, reduced stream flow and lost revenue from agricultural.
The horizontal movement of air along the surface of the earth is called the “wind” while the vertical movement of air is a called an “Air Current“. The winds always blow from a high pressure area to a low pressure area. Wind is mostly named after the direction from which it blows. For example, the wind blowing from the east is known as the easterly wind or easterlies.
An ‘anemometer‘ records wind speed while a ‘windvane‘ measures the direction of the wind. The unit of measurement is kilometre per hour or knots.
Types of Winds
Winds are generally classified into the following four major types ✓Planetary winds ✓Periodic winds ✓Variable wind ✓Local wind
Planetary winds
The winds which constantly blow in the same direction throughout the year are called the Planetary winds. They are also called as permanent winds or the prevailing winds. These winds include Trade winds, Westerlies and Polar Easterlies.
Trade Winds
Trade winds blow from the subtropical high pressure belt to the Equatorial low pressure belt in both the hemispheres. They blow with great regularity, force and in a constant direction throughout the year. These winds were very helpful to traders who depended on the winds while sailing in the seas. And so, they are named as Trade winds.
Westerlies
Westerlies are the permanent winds that blow from the tropical high pressure belt to the sub polar low pressure belt in both the hemispheres. They blow from South West to North East in the northern hemisphere and North West to South East in the southern hemisphere. The velocity of westerlies become so vigorous and fast to be called Roaring Forties at 40°, Furious Fifties at 50° and Screaming Sixties at 60° latitudes.
Polar Easterlies
Polar easterlies are cold and dry polar winds that blow from the polar high pressure belt to the sub polar low pressure belt. These are weak winds blowing from North East direction in the Northern Hemisphere and South East direction in the Southern Hemisphere.
Periodic winds
The periodic winds are the seasonal winds that change their direction periodically. These winds are caused by the differential heating of land and ocean.
Winds which reverse their direction with the change of seasons are called monsoons. Tropical Monsoon winds of Indian subcontinent is a best example.
Variable wind
Cyclones
The term cyclone is a Greek word meaning “coil of a snake”. Cyclones are centres of low pressure where, winds from the surrounding high pressure area converge towards the centre in a spiral form. Due to the rotation of the earth, the cyclonic winds in the northern hemisphere move in anti clock wise direction, where as they move in clockwise direction in the southern hemisphere.
Cyclones can be classified into ✓Tropical cyclones ✓Temperate cyclones ✓Extra tropical cyclones
Tropical cyclones
Tropical cyclones are known as ‘cyclones’ in Indian Ocean, ‘typhoons’ in the western pacific ocean, ‘hurricanes’ in the Atlantic and eastern pacific ocean , ‘ baguios’ in Phillipines and ‘willy willy’ in Australia, Taifu in Japan. Tropical cyclones often cause heavy loss of life and property on the coasts and become weak after reaching the landmasses.

Technology runs our lives currently. Smartphones, tablets and computers – we actually can’t appear to perform while not them. in a {very} very short quantity of your time, technology has exploded within the market and currently, many folks cannot imagine a life while not it.
To understand however we have a tendency to left the Middle Ages (which very wasn’t all that long ago) to wherever we have a tendency to square measure these days, it’s vital to know however technology evolves and why it matters.
PURPOSE DRIVES TECHNOLOGY FORWARD All technologies square measure born out of purpose. for instance, search engines were created to kind through the large amounts of knowledge on-line. With every new upgrade technology compounds existing technologies to form one thing higher than what was antecedently used before. And on and thereon goes.
With the lightning speed of technological evolution, it’s no surprise many folks have struggled to stay up. To be fair, the scope of technology’s expanse is therefore nice, wrapping everything up into one web log post is much not possible.
Here is simply a short glimpse into however apace the net and technology as a full have evolved in recent years.
THE PAST: WORLD, MEET the net Looking back to the 1990’s, the net was a brand new trade goods several, however not all, households and businesses began to realize access. For folks living throughout that point, the sound of the painfully slow dial up signal connecting to the net could be a not-so-fond memory (EEEE-AAAAAHH!!!!).
Thankfully, as additional folks found price within the net, technology took off to eliminate having to use a connexion to travel on-line and instead delivered quicker connections to the globe Wide net.
THE PRESENT: SNAPS, CHATS AND DOUBLE faucets Fast-forward a brief decade later (side note: bear in mind VHS tapes!? The OG fast-forward? OK, moving on…).
Since the times of dial-up, access to the net is obtainable virtually all over. it’s rare currently for shoppers to travel into a restaurant, library or anywhere of business and not be ready to access a Wi-Fi signal. If there isn’t a Wi-Fi signal in shut vary, the majority still have access to the net via their cellular information affiliation on their smartphones and private hotspots, no problem.
THERE’S AN APP FOR THAT With this anywhere/anytime access to the net, businesses created net applications to answer common desires of shoppers. These applications will do everything from pursuit food parts to causation large amounts of data during a click of a button.
MYSPACE, YOURSPACE, BOOKFACE: THE SOCIAL MEDIA rousing We’ve watched texting evolve from causation text-only messages (literally texting) to the addition of images, due to the infectious agent unfold of gifs, memes, emojies and bitmojies. In fact, with the spike in video-sharing, actual text is shrinking (meet SnapChat, Instagram Stories, Facebook Stories, Periscope, Vine, etc. and shorthand abbreviations). SMH.
Social networks still amendment the means folks interact with each other. Ironically, the constant affiliation and means folks move with each other appears to morph to a additional superficial setting on-line. though superficial sometimes, this type of communication helps folks keep nearer to every different once they would have otherwise lost contact.
FACE TO FACE (VIRTUALLY, SPEAKING) Face-to-face conversations via technology square measure resurfacing, though, and even strengthening, due to higher-quality video and streaming capabilities (enter: Skype, Google Hangouts, Zoom, FaceTime, live streaming, etc.). With additional folks participating in web/video conferencing on-line, geographic barriers that when hindered communication were torn down. Instead, corporations will interact with shoppers during a additional human manner, folks will visit folks face-to-face while not the necessity for pricey travel and reaching bent folks everywhere the globe is quicker and easier.
CUTTING THE CORD: the age OF VIDEO STREAMING Remember once Netflix was a primarily a videodisc delivery company, transfer your favorite motion-picture show via mail? Back once binge-watching wasn’t a thing?
Today, folks square measure cutting the wire once it involves cable, choosing digital streaming and video services like Netflix, YouTube and Hulu. huge brands are attempting to stay up and vie, doing their best to one-up one another with original content, handiness and delivery channels (e.g. Apple TV, Amazon fireplace TV, Google TV, etc.). User-generated content could be a force to acknowledge furthermore. due to streaming choices like Facebook Live, Instagram Live and optical instrument, people and business square measure ready to broadcast their own videos and content.
In a shell, videos square measure stoning up all over and trending success. and that they thought talking footage would ne’er last…
TODAY’S school FORECAST: ICLOUDY DAYS AHEAD More folks and firms square measure mistreatment cloud-based services for his or her business and store everything on-line rather than on one device. this modification can still have a colossal impact on the means business is finished, reworking our once-traditional workplace environments and the way folks move with corporations on an everyday basis. Flash drives square measure virtually extinct with the prevalence of cloud storage, like iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox and FTP sites.
With such a lot of new technologies permeative the means folks access data and access one another, the forward momentum appearance promising for future technological developments.
THE FUTURE: rising TRENDS ON THE HORIZON As additional existing technologies square measure stacked onto one another and developed into one thing larger, shoppers and businesses alike will expect to ascertain additional chance with future technology. Technology are quicker, have the flexibility to accomplish additional and everything can become additional efficient to form obtaining work done, easier.
While we have a tendency to don’t have the flexibility to predict the long run, we are able to provide speculations on technology’s evolution. we have a tendency to square measure perpetually seeing rising media and new trends in technology to follow. Here square measure a couple of trends to look at for within the returning years.
