Ways to Make Your Daily Walk Feel More Like a Walking Workout. [PART 2]

[Bhoomika Saini]

1. Use elevation to your advantage.

Heading up hills naturally increases the intensity of your walk even if you’re moving at the same pace or slower. “A walking incline can be even harder than running. Declines also serve their purpose, activating your core and strengthening your mind-muscle connection as you focus on each step.

Those lucky enough to live near undulating trails or roads can simply plan their route accordingly. If you’re largely on flat land, find any suitable slope—even a sledding hill or a parking-lot ramp—and do four to five hill repeats, walking up purposefully and down intentionally.

2. Do an out-and-back where you can do some stair climbs at the halfway point.

One simple way to add extra intensity into your workout is to incorporate some stairs into your routine. A common way to do this is to map your route to include regular walking as a warm-up, then hitting a flight of stairs for some higher-intensity work, and then walking back home as a cooldown.

Someone who lives a mile or so away could plot a route to their base, then climb up and down a couple of times before briskly walking home again.

3. Mix in some bodyweight moves.

Even if there aren’t stairs in your vicinity, you can still break up a walk with a burst of calisthenics. If you have access to a track or a park with a looped path, try walking the curves and doing dynamic or bodyweight moves on the straightaways, for instance, walking lunges, walking planks, or single-leg hopping. No track? Try it by time—for instance, two minutes of walking, then one minute of strength moves.

If you’re near an open playground and don’t mind toting along hand sanitizer, you can do pull-ups or monkey bars. Prefer not to touch? Try toe taps on a curb, step-ups on park benches, or a split squat with one foot elevated on a ledge.

4. Walk to music with a quicker tempo

There’s a reason group fitness classes blast power pop—music not only boosts your mood, research shows it can actually make hard efforts feel easier. What’s more, it can also work as a kind of metronome guiding your pace.

Spotify has playlists for songs of various beats per minute for keeping the tempo up. Choose one that’s comfortably challenging—say, 130 to 140 BPM—and will last for the duration of time that you want to walk, and aim to keep up with it. (You can also try our SELF playlist of the best workout songs for some motivation, too.)

Or use music as a cue for more intense segments. Walk easy for verses and fast during the chorus. Bodyweight circuit at the start of every other tune: 10 squats, 10 split squats on each leg, 10 lateral lunges per leg, and 10 push-ups, either on the ground or with your hands on a bench to make it easier.

5. Or even twirl, prance, or twerk.

Sprinkling a few moves into your walk elevates your heart rate and gives you an opportunity to move in different directions—critical for those of us hunched at desks and over our devices all day. Some moves are air punches, grapevines, lateral shuffles, and strutting on the balls of your feet, which works your calves and quads.

Don’t let self-consciousness or a lack of dance training hold you back.

Let go of everything that’s in your head and don’t worry about what people think.”

6. Use technology to your advantage (or leave it behind).

This is another time when it’s important to consider the purpose of your walk. If it’s a mind-clearing, meditative stroll, it might be best to leave your GPS watch at home and your phone in do-not-disturb mode. But if you’re aiming for fitness benefits, you can use digital tools as motivators.

If you have a watch or fitness tracker with a step count, try to take a few more steps during each 30- or 60-minute walk.

Stress and anxiety can affect what’s known as your rate of perceived exertion, or how hard it feels like you’re working to power through each step.

“You need to listen to your body,” even if the message is to slow down or back off. “If you’re used to hitting a certain number or certain metric, don’t be disappointed. You should be more excited and proud that you did something as opposed to nothing.”

7. Close it out with a stretch session.

Taking a few minutes to further loosen warm, limber muscles after a walk can ease some of the strain and fatigue you’ve built up and also give your session a sense of closure. “Often we walk and get to our car or back to our house and that’s it,”.

“Stretching makes it complete.”

OLYMPICS 2020: Tokyo

See the source image

After a year’s delay, the Tokyo Summer Olympics appear set to proceed. The world’s best athletes will once again compete in the pool, on the track, around the velodrome and high above the trampoline. But the circumstances will be most unusual. The Summer Games, scheduled for Tokyo in July and August 2020, were delayed for a year because of the pandemic. The Games are currently scheduled to proceed July 23 to Aug. 8, 2021.  The International Olympic Committee and the Tokyo organizing committee are determined to hold the Games after years of planning. They are also eager to hang on to the billions of dollars in television money that they would lose if the Games were canceled. Organizers say postponing again is not possible.

STILL KNOWN AS OLYMPICS 2020: Despite coming a year late, the Games are still called Tokyo 2020. T-shirts, mugs, signage and other branded gear will all reflect that.

Japanese against Olympics

Around 80 percent of people in Japan think the Games should not go on this summer. It has been over a year since Japan proclaimed its first one-month state of emergency back in April 2020. There have been many outbreaks throughout this year as a direct result of the non-existent COVID-19 mitigation measures. For the entire year of the global pandemic, the Abe and Suga governments focused on downplaying the pandemic, doing everything in their power to ensure the Summer Tokyo Olympics will be held this year in July. This includes covering up the realities in the country’s hospitals. As a result , people of Japan are now protesting and demanding to stop Olympics this summer. On 10th July participants in the demonstration gathered in front of a five-star hotel in the capital, where the International Olympics Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach stays, chanting ‘no more Olympics’.

History

The Olympic Games are an international sports festival that began in ancient Greece. The original Greek games were staged every fourth year for several hundred years, until they were abolished in the early Christian era. The revival of the Olympic Games took place in 1896, and since then they have been staged every fourth year. The ancient Olympics were held every four years between August 6 and September 19 during a religious festival honoring Zeus. The Games were named for their location at Olympia, a sacred site located near the western coast of the Peloponnese peninsula in southern Greece. Their influence was so great that ancient historians began to measure time by the four-year increments in between Olympic Games, which were known as Olympiads. The first modern Olympics were held in Athens, Greece, in 1896. In the opening ceremony, King Georgios I and a crowd of 60,000 spectators welcomed 280 participants from 13 nations, who would compete in 43 events, including track and field, gymnastics, swimming, wrestling, cycling, tennis, weightlifting, shooting and fencing. The official symbol of the modern Games is five interlocking colored rings, representing the continents of North and South America, Asia, Africa, Europe and Australia. The Olympic flag, featuring this symbol on a white background, flew for the first time at the Antwerp Games in 1920.

Have Olympics been cancelled or postponed before?

Since the opening of the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, the international sports competition has never been postponed but only been canceled three times: once during World War I (1916) and twice during World War II (1940, 1944). The 1916 Games were inconveniently scheduled for Berlin when World War I broke out. Those Games, and the Summer Games, which were somehow scheduled for Tokyo, did not happen. The Winter and Summer Games in Italy and Britain in 1944 never happened either.

Floating Gold

What is floating gold or Ambergris?

Grey amber, which is called Ambergris, is also commonly called whale vomit. An average sperm whale eats several thousand squid beaks every day. Sometimes, a beak makes it into the whale’s stomach, where it becomes ambergris through a complex process, so that the whale may eventually excrete it. In general, it is a solid waxy substance that floats on water surfaces or sometimes settles on beaches.

Ambergris is valuable or not?

The excretion is so valuable that it is often referred to as “floating gold.” According to estimates given by Mumbai Police, 1 kg of ambergris is worth Rs 1 crore internationally. Ancient Egyptians used it as incense. The reason for its high cost is its widespread use in the perfume market, especially when creating fragrances like musk. It is believed to be in great demand in countries with large perfume markets, like Dubai. It is also believed to be used in some traditional medicines.

Ambergris is only produced in the guts of sperm whales, which vomit the substance occasionally. Scientists think sperm whales produce ambergris to coat hard and sharp objects they ingest so they don’t damage the whales’ intestines. Such sharp objects found inside ambergris include teeth from giant squids. 

As a result, the scent allegedly lasts longer, as the ambrein molecule, when exposed to activated oxygen, releases more volatile, lighter fragrance compounds.

What are the laws on Ambergris?

In India, the sale of Ambergris is not permitted under the Wildlife Protection Act because the sperm whale is an endangered species that was declared endangered in 1970.

Ambergris has historically been a target for smugglers due to its high value, particularly in coastal areas. The Gujarat coastline has been used for such smuggling several times. Sperm whales are a protected species, so they cannot be hunted.

However, it is currently perfectly legal in the UK and other countries in the European Union to collect a lump of ambergris from the beaches and sell it, either at auction or on sites such as eBay.

The EU maintains strict protections for whale and dolphin species and prohibits the sale of whale products internationally.  The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) treats ambergris differently since it is considered an excretion, like urine or feces and is thus considered a by-product and does not need to be covered under the Convention. The EU is currently happy to support this definition.

Conclusion:

Times have changed. The whale is no longer considered just another marketable commodity in most countries. They symbolize, rightly, the fundamental challenge of our time – whether we will be able to live in harmony with the environment and turn away from unrestrained exploitation. Instead of killing whales for commercial profit, sustainable alternatives such as whale watching are becoming increasingly popular.

The IWC itself needs to move with the times. It is clearly under pressure from a few countries which, for their own motives, want to increase their kill of whales. It seems possible, even likely, that whales will once again be killed in increasing numbers unless the IWC can evolve to meet this new challenge. It is time for a fresh debate on the effective conservation of whales in the 21st century.

Programming Languages that you must learn [part 2]

[By Bhoomika Saini]

If you’re new to the field of software development, the toughest part of learning programming is deciding where to begin. There are hundreds of programming languages in widespread use, each with its own complexities and idiosyncrasies. As you begin your journey as a software developer, you’ll start to discover which programming language will be most suitable for you, your interests, and your career goals.

When deciding which programming language to learn, it’s important not to get caught up in flashy trends and popularity contests. The best programming languages to learn in 2021 are likely the same ones that were best to learn in 2017 and 2018, and that will continue to be true for the next several years as well.

Although the field of computer programming changes rapidly, the languages that we’ve discussed above have a great deal of staying power. By learning one or more of these languages, you’ll be in an excellent position not only for this year but in the years to come.

In the list below, we go over the best and most in-demand programming languages for many of the most common use cases including web development, mobile development, game development, and more.

Scala

If you’re familiar with Java—a classic programming language in its own right—it’s worth checking out its modern cousin, Scala. Scala combines the best features of Java (such as its Object-Oriented Structure and its lightning-fast JVM runtime environment) with a modern twist.

As a functional programming language, Scala allows engineers to elevate the quality of their code to resemble pure math. Scala allows for concurrent programming, allowing complex procedures to be executed in parallel. Furthermore, it is a strongly typed language. Engineers can create and customize their own data types, allowing them to have the peace of mind knowing entire swaths of bugs are impossible at runtime.

Elm

One of the youngest languages on our list, what began as a Harvard student’s thesis has now grown to become a point of passion for front-end developers around the world.

Elm compiles to JavaScript, making it ideal for building fast-executing UIs with zero errors at runtime. Elm is a functional programming language, allowing developers to create client-side interfaces without the declarative trappings of HTML and CSS.

Ruby

Ruby is another scripting language that’s commonly used for web development. In particular, it’s used as the basis for the popular Ruby on Rails web application framework.

Beginners often gravitate toward Ruby because it has a reputation for having one of the friendliest and most helpful user communities. The Ruby community even has an unofficial saying, “Matz is nice and so we are nice,” encouraging members to model their kind and considerate behavior on Ruby’s chief inventor Yukihiro Matsumoto.

In addition to the active community and its straightforward syntax, Ruby is also a good language to pick up thanks to its association with great tech businesses. Twitter, Airbnb, Bloomberg, Shopify, and countless other startups have all built their websites using Ruby on Rails at some point.

C#

Like C++, C# (pronounced C Sharp) is a general-purpose, object-oriented language built on the foundations of C. It was originally designed by Microsoft as part of its .NET framework for building Windows applications.

C# uses a syntax that’s similar to other C-derived languages such as C++, so it’s easy to pick up if you’re coming from another language in the C family. C# is not only the go-to for Microsoft app development, but it’s also the language mobile developers use to build cross-platform apps on the Xamarin platform.

Additionally, anyone who is interested in VR development should consider learning C#. C# is the recommended language for building 3D and 2D video games using the popular Unity game engine, which produces one-third of the top games on the market.

HTML

What this language is used for: 

  • Web documents 
  • Website development 
  • Website maintenance

HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. Don’t let the complicated-sounding name fool you, though; HTML is one of the most accessible stepping stones into the world of programming. 

Technically, HTML is a markup language, which means that it is responsible for formatting the appearance of information on a website. Essentially, HTML is used to describe web pages with ordinary text. It doesn’t have the same functionality as other programming languages in this list and is limited to creating and structuring text on a site. Sections, headings, links and paragraphs are all part of the HTML domain. 

Rust

Rust is a bit of an upstart among the other languages on this list, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a valuable language to learn. Stack Overflow’s 2020 Developer Survey found that Rust was the most loved programming language among developers for the fifth year in a row, with 86.1 percent of Rust developers saying that they want to continue working with it.

Developed by the Mozilla Corporation, Rust, like C and C++, is intended primarily for low-level systems programming. What Rust adds to the mix, however, is an emphasis on speed and security. Rust emphasizes writing “safe code” by preventing programs from accessing parts of memory that they shouldn’t, which can cause unexpected behavior and system crashes.

The advantages of Rust mean that other big tech companies, such as Dropbox and Coursera, are already starting to use it internally. While it may be a bit more difficult to master than other beginner languages, Rust programming skills are likely to pay off handsomely, as the language’s popularity will only continue to rise in the near future.

CSS

What this language is used for: 

  • Web documents 
  • Website development 
  • Website design

CSS, or cascading style sheets, is usually applied in conjunction with HTML and governs the site’s appearance. While HTML organizes site text into chunks, CSS is responsible for determining the size, color and position of all page elements.  

CSS is convenient, too; the cascading part of the name means that an applied style will cascade down from parent elements to all children elements across the site. This feature means that once users determine aesthetics for the main parent, they won’t have to manually repeat their code across a website. Moreover, the delegation of site organization to HTML and aesthetics to CSS means that users don’t have to completely rewrite a web page just to change a color. 

CSS is an approachable language that allows beginning programmers to dip their toes in the metaphorical coding pool. If you’re new to coding, there’s no reason not to learn CSS before tackling more complex languages!

Perl

What this language is used for:

  • System administration 
  • GUI development 
  • Network programming

Perl isn’t the most commonly used language on the market. In fact, just 3.1 percent of developers used it in 2020, and it didn’t even make Stack Overflow’s commonly used languages list for 2019. However, we are recommending it for a reason. If you’re already well into your career, learning Perl could significantly boost your earnings potential. 

Developers who know Perl tend to make 54 percent more than the average developer (PDF, 2.4MB). That said, it is worth noting that most of the people who know these are senior developers, who tend to make more at a baseline — thus, attempting to quantify the “bonus” that a programming language provides may be somewhat tricky. That said, learning a language like Perl may still make a junior developer better suited for a promotion or raise. 

The Practical Extraction and Report Language — or Perl, for short — is a scripting language that is commonly used to extract information from a text file and create a report. 

While many programming languages are compiled languages — wherein a target machine translates the program — Perl is an interpreted language, wherein a third “interpreting” machine locates the code and executes a task. Usually, interpreted programs require more CPU, but because Perl is such a concise language, it creates short scripts that can be processed quickly. 

Conversion to Islam and Marital Rights

Introduction

Muslim law applies to-
        1)   Mohammedans by birth, as well as to,.                                                               

2) Mohammedans by conversion.

A non-muslim , who has attained majority and is of sound mind may embrace Islam in any of two modes:-

a) He may simply declare that he believes in the oneness of God and the Prophetic character of Mohammad,or

b) He may go to a mosque, to a person who is well versed in Islamic theology (Alim), where he utters Kalma (Lailaha-ill-Allah Muham-mad-ur Rasoolullah) before Imam, whereupon he is given a muslim name by the Imam. It is however, necessary that the conversion must be bona fide; the Court will not permit any one to commit a fraud upon the law by pretending to be a covert Islam in order to elude te personal law by which he is bound .

In Rikhya Bibi v. Anil Kumar , a hindu women accepted Islam in order to get rid of her Hindu husband, who was impotent. It was held that her conversion to Islam was colourable and was effected with the intent to commit a fraud upon the law, and was therefore invalid and ineffective.

Conversion to Islam and Marital Rights

According to Muslim Law, a distinction, is made between conversion to Islam of one of the spouses when such conversion takes place-
1) In a country subject to Muslim Law, and

2) In a country where the Law of Islam is not the law of the land

In the first case, when one of the parties embraces Islam, he should offer Islam to the other spouse , and of the latter refuses, the marriage can be dissolved. In the second case, the marriage is automatically dissolved after the lapse of a period of three months after the adoption of Islam by one of the spouses. The courts in India do not administer the laws of any particular community but they administer such laws as are valid in India. Muslim Laws is administered only in those cases where it happens to be the law of India and where the parties are muslims. In India , the spouse who has become a convert to Islam can sue for divorce or a declaration of dissolution of the marriage on the ground that the other spouse has refused to adopt the Muslim religion. It has been held in Pakistan that a marriage of a Hindu married woman on her conversion in British India to Islam should be regarded as dissolved on the completion of three of her monthly couses without any decree or order of the court.

In Sarla Mudgal v. Union of India, the Supreme Court has held that the second marriage of a Hindu husband after conversion to Islam without having his first marriage dissolved under law would be invalid. The second marriage would be void in terms of the provision of Section 494, IPC and the apostate husband would be guilty of the offence under Section 494 of IPC.

In Lily Thomas v. Union of India, the Supreme Court has observed that if hindu wife files a complaint for the offence of bigamy under Section 494, IPC on the ground that, during subsistence of marriage her husband had married a second wife under the other religion after converting to that religion, the offence of bigamy pleaded by her would have to be investigated and tried in accordance with the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act. Since under Hindu Marriage Act, a bigamous marriage is prohibited and has been constituted as an offence under Section 17 of the Act, any marriage solemnized by the husband during the subsistence of that marriage in spite of his conversion to another religion, would be an offence under Section 17 of the Hindu Marriage Act read with Section 494 of IPC. Change of religion does not dissolve the marriage performed under the Hindu Marriage Act between two hindus. Apostasy does not bring to an end the civil obligation or matrimonial bond but it is a ground for divorce under Section 13 as well as ground for judicial separation under Section 10 of Hindu Marriage Act.

Conversion to Islam and Rights of Inheritance

In the absence of a custom to the contrary, in case of a Hindu converts to Islam, succession and inheritance are governed by Mohammedan Law and not by Hindu law.

Where a Hindu, who had a Hindu wife and children, embraced Islam and married a Muslim woman and had children by her,his property would pass on his death to his Muslim wife and children and not to his Hindu wife or children because under Muslim Law, a Hindu cannot succeed to the estate of a Muslim.

Effects of conversion to Islam

The legal consequences that follow by conversion, may be summarised as under:

1) The religion of Islam is substituted for the previous religion of the convert to Islam, with so much of the personal law as necessarily follows from that religion;

2) The rights and status of the convert become subject to the Mohammedan law;

3) His apostasy (abandonment of religion) has an immediate and prospective effect, from the moment of the conversion and is not retrospective;

4) Conversion of the both spouse, without any intention to commit fraud upon the law, will have the effect to altering the rights incidental to marriage, but this question was left undecided by the Privy Council in Skinner v. Orde.

5) Succession to the estate of a convert is governed by Muslim Law.

Effect of renunciation of Islam

Under the pure Muslim Law Mohammedan after renouncing Islam loses all rights to succeed as Muslim. But now under the provision of the Caste Disabilities Removal Act XXI of 1850, the apostate will lose such rights. The question here arises as to what amounts to apostasy, i.e., abandonment of one’s religion. The answer is that mere deviation from non-fundamental provisons of Mohammedan religion does not amount to apostasy. So long as a person is prepared to accept the fundamental tenets of Islam, he is not an apostate.

Apostsy of guardian – According to Mohammedan Law an apostate has no right to contract a minor in marriage: Hedaya, 392. It is enacted however, by Act XXI of 1850, that no law or usage shall inflict on any person who renounces his religion any “forfeiture of rights of property”, and it was accordingly held in Muchoo v. Arzoon that a Hindu father is not deprived of his right to the custody of his children and to direct their education by reason of his conversion to Christianity. It is submitted that the decision in Muchoo’s case is correct . But the court may in its discretion deal with each case on its own merits.

Effect of renunciation of Islam on Marriage

Marriage of a Muslim husband with a Muslim wife is dissolved ipso facto on the renunciation of the husband of the Islamic religion, their marriage remains intact and is not dissolved.

The renunciation of Islam by a married Muslim woman on her conversion to a faith other than Islam does not by itself dissolve her marriage. But were a woman converted to Islam from some other faith re-embraces her former faith, her marriage with the Muslim husband stands dissolved .


REVENGE TRAVEL and an INEVITABLE THIRD WAVE

It wasn’t a few weeks back that there was a massive outcry among general public, demanding hospital beds, oxygen cylinders, remdesivir and what not; and now the hot topic has turned into lack of hotel rooms. Indian government was ultimately the scapegoat at the hands of citizens who needed to channelise their vulnerability, fair enough. As the second wave was terminating, owing to the endurance and earnest work of the government, an abominable mass of citizens rush to “celebrate” this conquest by vacationing in Manali, paving way for the third wave of Covid.

Crowded Manali

Not only Manali, crowds can be seen flooding the streets of other hill stations as well; Shimla, Mussourie, Nanital etc. There is a term for this phenomenon, which accurately captures the true sentiments- ‘REVENGE TRAVEL’. This term signifies the anguish of people who had to follow the lockdown rules and stay at home during the pandemic and that too for their own safety, but now are rushing to travel like animals let loose.

Someone said it right, education is no substitute for intelligence as is proven by the abhorrent crowd risking thousands of innocent lives along with theirs. A 5 year old boy who didn’t even has shoes for his feet was seen roaming on the streets of Dharmshala, schooling adults to wear masks, while the tourists shamelessly ignored his plea. This is a clear dichotomy of how wealth and education never ensure a sound and reasonable mind.

When the third wave strikes, the same mass would shamelessly play blame game and accuse government for the current situation. Based on the statistics, health ministry has warned the citizens to be prepared not only for the third wave, but the fourth one as well. If people are ignorant enough to forget the consequences and death toll from second wave, another pandemic is just inevitable.

Stress and Stress Management.

Everyone goes through stress in their day-to-day life. Also, everyone goes through different types of stress and has different ways to manage it. But, do we know our stress? How to manage our stress? And do we know stress can be positive also? Well, some of us do and some of us don’t. So, let’s find about Stress and how to manage it. 

What is Stress? 

Stress is the psychological, physiological, and behavioral response by an individual when they perceive a lack of equilibrium between the demands placed upon them and their ability to meet those demands, which, over some time, leads to ill-health.                                                        (Palmer, 1989)

What are types of stress? 

There are three commonly known stresses and they are:-

I) Acute Stress:- 

The most common stress we encounter in day-to-day life is Acute stress. It is short-term stress that can either be positive or negative. 

II) Chronic Stress:-

It is the opposite of Acute stress. Chronic stress feels never-ending and has serious impacts on life. For example, the stress of bad marriage, traumatic experiences.

III) Episodic Acute Stress:-

When a person experiences Acute stress more frequently then that stress is known as Episodic Acute stress. Episodic Acute stress can be very exhausting both physically and mentally. 

How do you know if you’re going through stress?

As mentioned above, everyone goes through different types of stress. Mentioned below are some of the common symptoms of stress:-

★ Difficulty sleeping;

★ Weight gain or weight loss;

★ Stomach pain;

★ Heartburn;

★ Excessive sleeping;

★ Social isolation;

★ Fatigue;

★ Nausea;

★ Irritability;

★ Teeth grinding;

★ Panic attacks;

★ Headaches;

★ Difficulty concentrating;

★ Sweaty hands or feet;

★ Feeling overwhelmed;

★ and obsessive or compulsive behaviors.

Now that you know enough about stress, its types, and its symptoms, let’s know about stress management and some stress management techniques. 

What is Stress management?

Stress management is what it sounds like, it is a set of techniques and programs planned to help people with stress. 

Mentioned below are some different Stress management techniques and strategies:-

I) Take a break from technology. 

II) Manage your time. 

III) Stop overthinking. 

IV) Create healthy boundaries.

V) Make changes in your diet and exercise regularly.

VI) Start Meditating.

VII) Get enough sleep.

VIII) Talk to your family and friends.

IX) Build resilience.

X) Practice Mindfulness.

Stress can affect you and your surrounding. So be aware of what kind of stress you are going through. And start practicing the techniques mentioned above for your well-being. Take time to time breaks from your work. And always remember not every stress has a negative impact, some of the stress pushes you to make the best out of it. 

Live your life, live your dreams, live it with more positive stress than negative. 

    

7 powerful ways to change your life

 LIFE CHANGING TIPS


1.EXPECT NOTHING, ACCEPT EVERTHING


The only way to not get disappointed is to expect nothing from others. Now-a-days whoever we ask the question How are you?
They give the answer as I am stressed, I have faced many disappointments for the past  days and so on from which we can analyze that they being stressed. When disappointment comes, start believing yourself, as nothing cannot be changed in one night. Stay calm for few seconds Breathe., Don’t let the problems consume your mind. Because ones it is consumed by our mind and should it disturbs our dreams and we are unable to paint our dreams.
Make a clear vision and move forward.

2.SEEK GOOD IN OTHERS



start seeing good things in others which helps you to boost your energy without knowing yourselves. start now, start small. which seems to be small can do great things. Do not make things complicated and overlook on actions. Make corrective actions and control your life. Keep your own promise and make affirmatives and do good things each day. Trust your instincts as it may convey you something. Do things in great way.


3. FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS YOU

Pursue your dream, it is still important to sit and draw and make your own budget to build something. But people whose destination is excellence, do not retire with a dream. They turn their dream into reality. Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them  come true. All dreams come true only if you have the potential to pursue it. Don’t wait till the winter or don’t wait for anyone. Start early, do it  right now.

4.MONEY IS THE ILLUSION


Looking rich is not being rich or look poor is not actually being poor. The rich people are those who have good health and freedom. Money does not buy you happiness. Money only buys you time, which gives you freedom. But the road to the excellence only depends on you.


5.MASTER YOUR EMOTIONS:



You are very precious. Don’t get lost in people and waste your time. Before going to sleep, forgive everyone, don’t get mad. Once you struck in this it takes time to get recover. Anger blurs our vision. We will be defeated if we are become addict to someone. Time heals everything. Focus on things which you can control. Future is the fruit of happiness. The best is yet to come.


6.TAKE CARE OF YOUR THOUGHTS:



Pain is unbearable. Psychology says if we become far away from the person who is close to our heart that pain is equal to the physical pain. You need to adapt and move on, pass through, this too shall pass. But most of the pain comes only by our thoughts. So, once if we control our thoughts, we would be able to control our mind. Have faith and keep going.

7. ATTITUDE MATTERS:


 
Reframe things. Do it alone, do it scared, do it .. start building your future. Control your actions and reactions. Though some bad things happen, you will always be able to control your reactions. It all starts in your mind. Once you control you don’t react too much. This will not be reflected and that is how one can reframe his attitude. Don’t you dare stop anything because we are today!

Asymmetric information

Asymmetric information, also known as “information failure,” occurs when one party to an economic transaction possesses greater material knowledge than the other party. This typically manifests when the seller of a good possesses greater knowledge than the buyer; however, the reverse dynamic is also possible. Almost all economic transactions involve information asymmetries. Asymmetric information can also be viewed as the specialization and division of knowledge, as applied to any economic trade. Asymmetric information examples are everywhere. In the financial world, consider a situation where a lending firms enters into an agreement with a borrower. The lender establishes the terms and agreements that the borrower must stipulate to, and, usually, background checks are done.

Moral hazard is a situation in which one party gets involved in a risky event knowing that it is protected against the risk and the other party will incur the cost. It arises when both the parties have incomplete information about each other.

In a financial market, there is a risk that the borrower might engage in activities that are undesirable from the lender’s point of view because they make him less likely to pay back a loan. It occurs when the borrower knows that someone else will pay for the mistake he makes. This in turn gives him the incentive to act in a riskier way. This economic concept is known as moral hazard.

Adverse Selection describes a situation in which one party in a deal has more accurate and different information than the other party. The party with less information is at a disadvantage to the party with more information. This asymmetry causes a lack of efficiency in the price and the number of goods and services provided. Most information in a market economy is transferred through prices, which means that adverse selection tends to result from ineffective price signals.

Benefits of Aloe Vera

[By Bhoomika Saini]

An evergreen perennial, it originates from the Arabian Peninsula, but grows wild in tropical, semi-tropical, and arid climates around the world. It is cultivated for commercial products, mainly as a topical treatment used over centuries. The species is attractive for decorative purposes, and succeeds indoors as a potted plant.

It is used in many consumer products, including beverages, skin lotion, cosmetics, ointments or in the form of gel for minor burns and sunburns. There is little clinical evidence for the effectiveness or safety of Aloe vera extract as a cosmetic or topical drug. The name derives from Latin as Aloe and Vera (“truth”).

Lets see what benefits it offers us.

Heartburn relief

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a digestive disorder that often results in heartburn. A review suggested that consuming 1 to 3 ounces of aloe gel at mealtime could reduce the severity of GERD. It may also ease other digestion-related problems. The plant’s low toxicity makes it a safe and gentle remedy for heartburn.

Keeping produce fresh

A study published online by the Cambridge University Press looked at tomato plants coated with aloe gel. The report showed evidence that the coating successfully blocked the growth of many types of harmful bacteria on the vegetables. Similar results were found in a different study with apples. This means that aloe gel could help fruits and vegetables stay fresh, and eliminate the need for dangerous chemicals that extend the shelf life of produce.

An alternative to mouthwash

In a study, researchers found aloe vera extract to be a safe and effective alternative to chemical-based mouthwashes. The plant’s natural ingredients, which include a healthy dose of vitamin C, can block plaque. It can also provide relief if you have bleeding or swollen gums.

Lowering your blood sugar

Ingesting two tablespoons of aloe vera juice per day can cause blood sugar levels to fall in people with type 2 diabetes. This could mean that aloe vera may have a future in diabetes treatment.

But people with diabetes, who take glucose-lowering medications, should use caution when consuming aloe vera. The juice along with diabetes medications could possibly lower your glucose count to dangerous levels.

A natural laxative

Aloe vera is considered a natural laxative. A handful of studies have looked into the benefits of the succulent to aid digestion. The results appear to be mixed.The gel made from typical aloe vera houseplants was able to relieve constipation.

Aloe vera can be used to relieve constipation, but sparingly. They advise that a dose of 0.04 to 0.17 grams of dried juice is sufficient.

Skin care

You can use aloe vera to keep your skin clear and hydrated. This may be because the plant thrives in dry, unstable climates. To survive the harsh conditions, the plant’s leaves store water. These water-dense leaves, combined with special plant compounds called complex carbohydrates, make it an effective face moisturizer and pain reliever.

Potential to fight breast cancer

Therapeutic properties of aloe emodin, a compound in the plant’s leaves tells us that the succulent shows potential in slowing the growth of breast cancer. However, more studies are needed to further advance this theory.

The takeaway

There are a number of ways to use the aloe vera plant and the various gels and extracts that can be made from it. Researchers are continuing to discover new methods to put this succulent to use. Be sure to consult your doctor if you plan to use aloe vera in a medicinal manner, especially if you take medication.

Comparative Study b/w Parliamentary and Presidential System of Government

Parliamentary system is a democratic form of government in which the party with the greatest representation in parliament (legislature) forms the govt., its leader becoming prime minister or chancellor. Presidential form of govt. is a democratic and republican govt. in which a head of govt. leads an executive branch. The head of govt. is in almost cases also the head of the state, which is called the President. India follows a parliamentary form of govt. modelled on Britain’s.

Features

Features of Presidential system are that the executive can veto acts by the legislature, the President has a fixed tenure and cannot be removed by a vote of no confidence in legislature. The President has the power to pardon or commute judicial sentences awarded to criminals and the President is elected directly by the people or by the people or by an electoral college whereas features of parliamentary system are- close relationship b/w the legislature and the executive, executive is responsible to the legislature, there are two executive i.e. real executive and titular executive, bicameral legislature, no fixed tenure, leadership of Prime Minister.

Merits

Merits of Presidential system are- seperation of powers, expert govt., stability and less influence of the party system.

Merits of Parliamentary system are- better coordination b/w executive and legislature, prevents authoritarianism, responsible govt., represents diverse groups, flexibility in the system.

Demerits

Demerits of Presidential system are- less responsible executive, deadlocks b/w executive and legislature, rigid govt., spoils system as the system gives the President sweeping powers of patronage.

Demerits of Parliamentary system are- no seperation of powers, unqualified legislators, instability, failure to take prompt decision because there is no fixed tenure, party politics is more.

Conclusion

The Presidential system is better for one because of its seperation of powers, the role of judiciary and the govt. accountability to its people. We should ensure a system of govt. whose leaders can focus on governance rather than on staying in power. The present parliamentary system has been tried and tested for nearly 70 years. It can be reformed thoroughly to remove the challenges thrown up by it. Also, there is a need to reform the electoral processes to make democracy more robust.

Facts to maintain your bright canvas as new one

                       REMOVING YELLOW STAINS FROM WHITE VANS

It is always pretty good to wear bright colors of shoes and clothes that will make our impression look admirable. But as days goes these attractive ones get prone to stains which makes us worried. Especially white canvas vans are really awesome while shining but it’s becomes worse to removes stains. As most probably we lose the shine and love we have on it after washing as the material it’s brightness.

  1. Procedure to remove stains without losing its glowing

Let us first wipe of some solid dirt or dust hanging on the vans softly with a smooth cloth and by using a brush gently. Then it is necessary to remove laces from shoes and wash them separately as combined cleaning may not be proper. Further, we can sink them in a broad vessel or utensil with lukewarm water so we can clean them preciously.

Along with the water it is recommended to add some detergent including hydrogen peroxide and allow them to penetrate in the dirt for few hours. After the appropriate duration of soaking, we can start to rub particles attached to the shoes aggressively with a flexible brush that can go through corners and edges of the footwear. With constant scrubbing we can find the stain begins to fade.

  • Removing stains after the period of soaking

Since it has soaked well, we can be vigorous while rubbing shoes with brush to make them shine as earlier. Put your effort more to bring out your precious footwear to a useable one. The hard we scrub we can bring back it as brand new one with perfection in it. At this right time, vinegar can be used with the previous things in the utensil so it takes away the stain completely while rinsing. 

It is advisable to make them dry in indoors after the whole process of removal of solid and dried impurities on it. Allow it to dry for nearly 7-8 hours so that you can make use of them the next day.

After the shoes has dried you can notice the glowing beauty of your ever-lasting, lovable thing attracting to wear it on your legs again. Once in five days try to wipe them gently so dust won’t get accumulated and becomes harder as well as color remains same. 

  • Precautions and measurements for storage

Always be cautious while storing them as they require careful handling of preservation as mistakes may happen which after it will become useless instead to throw away. So, try to store them in separate cardboard boxes as they can preserve shoes for years as fresh. Store canvas vans in a dry and places where solid things and items are kept to avoid destruction or loss of material instead of placing them near fluid materials. As in certain situations by mistake it may get spoilt.

Whatever thing it is our outmost care makes them to last longer and be ours precious one always. Preserving and protecting them from external factors like dust and stains from surrounding is the crucial role for us to make a product last longer and based on the handling of them how we use them wisely.

Rachid Yazami, a Moroccan innovator, breaks the world record for charging EV batteries in under 10 minutes.

Electric vehicles are sweeping our cities, and an overwhelming number of individuals are choosing to commute in electric vehicles. Electric mobility is unquestionably the way of the future, given the environmental advantages offered by these vehicles and the commitment of both manufacturers and drivers.

Rachid Yazami, a Moroccan innovator, revealed a few weeks ago:

We broke a new world record a few weeks ago by charging an electric car battery in just 10 minutes. I hope that morocco will succeed in developing and marketing ultra-rapid chargers.

Statement by Rachid El Yazami

Dr. Rachid Yazami, the inventor of one of the most important components of lithium-ion batteries, is working on a method to charge an electric vehicle in less than 10 minutes.

Given the recent technological advancements, electric vehicles still face obstacles in becoming the preferred mode of transportation and replacing combustion engine vehicles. One of the most significant concerns is slow battery charging, however, it appears that this impediment is coming to an end.

Dr. Rachid Yazami, the inventor of the graphite anode, a critical lithium-ion battery component, is working on a method that will allow the electric car to be charged in as little as 10 minutes. A breakthrough in these aspects will be a watershed moment in electric transportation, virtually equating the time spent charging the vehicle’s battery to just the time spent replenishing traditional fuel.

According to The Register, Dr. Rachid Yazami is working on a new quick charging system for electric automobiles that beats any other technology now available. Your technology, according to current testing, can charge a high-density battery in under 10 minutes, which itself is seven times faster than Tesla.

To attain this goal, Dr. Rachid Yazami uses a different loading method than the usual one. Instead of utilizing constant current, they utilize non-linear voltammetry, which adjusts voltage instead of current.

Voltage, according to the expert, should be seen as a sequence of steps on a ladder. Every one of those rungs’ voltage must remain constant until the conditions are met and that the next rung can be advanced. During the charging process, this charging mechanism gives the batteries a break, helping them to last longer.

“Fast-charging technology improves battery life by decreasing stress”, according to Dr. Rachid Yazami. “We can preserve the battery for 10 years instead of five because we charge it in such a way that it is not subjected to high temperatures or current stress. The optimal charging situation for the battery would be 10 minutes of charging time for an 800 km range.

HUMAN BODY.

The human body is a structure of a human being .our body consists of a number of biological system that carry out specific function necessary for everyday living. Human body comprises of neck head trunk arms legs hands and feet. The study of the human body in words anatomy physiology histology and embryology. Many systems and mechanisms interacts in order to maintain homeostasis with safe levels of substances such as sugar and oxygen in blood. The body is studied by health professor physiologist anatomists I am buy artist to assist them to their work.

Elements reside in trillions of cells and non cellular components of the body the adult male body is about 60% water for a total water content of some 42 litres. The content acidity and composition of the water inside and outside cells is carefully maintained the main electrolytes in body water inside cells are sodium and chloride. Now let’s look into the brief picture of the body parts the cell is the fundamental unit of life the body is also host to about the same number of non human cells as well as multicellular organism which reside in the the gastrointestinal tract and on the skin . At the maturity there are roughly 30-37 trillion cells in the body has estimate arrived at by totalling the cell numbers of all the organs of the body and cell. Cells sit in a extracellular Matrix that consist of protein success collagen surrounded under bye extracellular fluids. Tissues the study of tissues is called histology and often occurs with a microscope the body consists of four main types of tissues connective tissue nerve tissue muscular tissue and lining cells. Endothelial cells are the cells that line internal cavity including body tissues and glands organs reside within cavities within the body. These cavities include the abdomen and pleura which contains the lungs. immune systems defends the body against pathogens that may harm the body. The system comprising a network of lymphatic vessels that carry e a clear fluid called lymph. Endocrine system serve as signals from one body system to another regarding and enormous array of conditions and resulting in a variety of changes in function. Immune system provides a mechanism for the body to distinguish its own cells and tissues from outside cells and substance and to neutralize or destroy the latter by using specialised proteins such as antibodies. Circulatory system paths of of blood circulation within the human body which serves as a transportation system to transfer oxygen fuel nutrients waste products from one part to a body to another. Pulmonary circuit which pumps blood to the lungs to receive Oxygen and leave carbon dioxide and systematic circuit which carries blood from the art to the rest of the body. It consists of heart blood blood vessels articles and veins. Digestive system consists of a series of connected organs that together allowed the body to break down and observe food and remove waste the molecular takes the form of protein fat vitamin and minerals. The nervous system controls both voluntary action and sends a signal to different parts of body consists of the body’s nervous and glial cells which together form the nerves, ganglia and gray matter which intern form the brain and related structures. Endocrine system serve as liquids from one body system to another regarding and enormous array of conditions and resulting in a variety of change of function the hormones internal transfer to different tissues and regulate various body functions such as metabolism growth and sexual functions. It gives the body basic structure and the ability for movement all bones are major storage site for calcium and phosphate. Reproductive system consist of the the gonads and the internal and external sex organs the male reproductive system includes the penis and tests , the female reproductive system consists of vagina. Respiratory system consists of the nose masopharynx,trachea and lungs. It brings oxygen from the air and circulate carbon dioxide and water back into the air and executes carbon dioxide. Urinary system apps to eliminate a waste product called urea from the body it room it removes toxic material from the blood in the form of urine which carries a variety of waste molecules. And finally the skin is the body’s largest organ it protects us from the outside world and is our first defence against bacteria viruses and other pathogens are screen helps regulate body temperature and eliminate waste through perspiration.
