WANT TO BUILD INTEGRITY? 7 EASY STEPS

Step 1:– Fulfill Your Promises

The first step towards building the integrity is to keep the promises that a person has made. If a person is not sure that he will be able to meet his promise, then he/she should not affirm to it.

For Example, If a person has promised to attend an organisational event, then he/she should definitely attend that event without any fail. This will depict that he/she is a person of words, who keep all his promises which will help in achieving a high respect in the organisation.

Step 2:– Keep your Appointments

The second step towards the evolution is to be on time in all meetings as it describes punctuality and responsiveness of a person.

For Example, If a person has a meeting scheduled at 6 PM, then he should be present there by 5:50 so that there is no delay in meeting due to that person. Reaching a meeting after the scheduled time of commencing, act as a barrier in the process of building high integrity and results in bad image with other members present in that meeting.

Step 3:– Get Comfortable With Saying “No”

The next step towards building integrity is that a person should have guts to say that he will not be able to do a work. If he will keep on saying ‘yes’ to all the work, then he will face a pressure of doing all the tasks and will not be able to perform any of that task properly.

For Example, if a person knows that a task already given to him will consume a day and need to be submitted the next day , in this situation if  he is asked to do some work of his team member also, then he should not agree to do it, telling that he already has some work pilled up .

Step 4:– Examine Your Reaction In Tough Situations

This step depicts that a person should record that how he reacts in different situations and should analyse the reason for that reaction. This will help him to analyse that how he can deal with the matter in a better manner.

For Example, If a person feel panic with deadline coming closer, he should take a note of it and should work in finding a solution of solving this problem. He should analyse that how he could have handled the situation in a  better manner.

Step 5:– Your Attitude towards Money

This step deals with analyzing that what is the worth of money in the actions of a person.

For Example if a person is doing a work for sole purpose of earn money, then the person is said to be of low integrity but if he values his goals more than money, then he is said to be a person of high integrity.

Step 6:– Define Your Values And Vision

This step depicts that a person need to have a clarity about individual goals and values and should analysing that how a company and that person can play a crucial role in achieving the goals and vision of each other. This will bring a confidence in the person that the organisation will bring him close to his goals which will motivate him to perform better.

For Example, if a person is not clear with his goals, he will doubt his decision and will not be able to perform well. He will have a low will to perform and will not be able to perform with his full callable  which  is a barrier in effectively and efficiently achieving the goals of that organisation.

Step 7:– Stay Committed

The last step towards building a high integrity is that the person need to have faith in himself and his decisions. He should not get demotivated from the challenges and should keep on giving his best and he will surely be able to achieve his goals.

For Example, An employee can’t fulfill all his goals on the first day of his job. There is a requirement of firm determination and devotion of that employee towards work which makes it possible that he the vision with which he has joined that organisation.

Language is Man-made, not “Human Made”!

This is a very simple title, yet a major loophole that our society is facing for many decades. This is not about giving rights to a specific gender but the suppressions which a language creates in the backdrop of society and makes it a center of concern. Never thought language can create such discrimination against two genders.

In colloquial context we see that every day we speak our language and communicate flawlessly yet we never recognized the ocean of problem which a language brings every day.

Profoundly, the title itself gives us the best example as to how we use the word “Manmade”, linguistically whenever a thing is made by a human it is denoted as manmade. But the question here arrives is that why don’t we spell it as human-made?

There are many endless words where the wordings are based on one gender-biased, for say: countrymen, mankind, etc and mostly these words denote men and women were often neglected or ignored since the formation of words.

“Language has always been a media through which many cultures and communities bounded and created a sense of harmony with each other”.

Whereas we can notice that Gender Discrimination has always been a core of fear since civilization. It has become one of the cliché topics when it comes to feminism and cause of this people are ignorant as they assume that the world is changed and there is no more discrimination in today’s society.

Taking back to the advent of the problem we can observe that many writers, critics have battled to always protect the women community as they are always considered the “weaker section of the society”. We can’t deny this fact but, inevitably, they are still subjected when it comes to literature and language.

  1. How Women are Neglected by Language  as Language reflects Patriarchal world:

She says, “Women can either read and choose to stay trapped in their bodies by a language that does not allow them to express themselves, or they can use the body as a way to communicate.”

– Helene Cixous (in; “The Laugh of Medusa” )

This very quote is taken from the famous article written by a critic, writer, and feminist; Helene Cixous who has explained how a woman had gone through repression in history and how literature and language had given an upper hand to the men in society to suppress women.

In “The Laugh of Medusa”, she explains how women should find their voice and the Language is the symbol of how a person portrays themselves. “Writing is for you, you are for you, your body’s yours, take it”. This line highlights that it’s high time that women should raise their head and minds and be themselves by being flawlessly independent and break the walls which portray women as fragile and frail.

The author claims that there is a very close relationship between women’s bodies and their writings and both have been repressed by men for centuries. Literature, in particular, explains to us how women as a writer were hard for the audience to accept them due to cultural prejudices laid against them since ages.

Writers like Virginia Woolf show us the patriarchal world through one of her works namely “Room of one’s own” through the lens of all the women present in the world and the problems they go through.

“A Woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction”. This quote is quite relatable for the women of contemporary society, but this was a major issue which women of the 18th and 19th centuries were facing, to be independent they always needed acceptance to flourish in their fields and for that, they always needed acceptance which was a great hurdle in their lives. For their personal growth, they were bounded to be under 4 walls and do all sorts of wifely duties which gave the society that women are doing dutiful jibs under their husbands present.

But unfortunately, those women were never accepted who was unique and out of the box because society was not people’s perspective, rather it was the male perspective.

Even in “Room of one’s own”, Woolf mentions Judith Shakespeare ( was considered as Shakespeare’s real sister), her character portrays us the devastation a woman goes through while struggling for getting justice.

It also portrays us that many decades of literature didn’t accept women’s works as they were not considered as talented and rather, they were judged based on patriarchal society.

  •  Females were Disowned yet contributed best Literature:

As when we look into 18th century British literature, we can see that several female writers have given an immeasurable piece of works which is still remarkable to date.

It would be a disgrace if we forget to mention  Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, Virginia Woolf, who were the pillars of 18th-century literature. Whether it is a broody romantic novel of wuthering heights or it is jane Eyre, every writer has spilled their hearts and provided the real situation of women in the era.

Some great writers are unforgettable like J.K Rowling who made us believe in fantasy and made childhood more fascinating by giving us Harry Potter which always provides us nostalgia going back to those days.

Unfortunately, these writers have always struggled to prove their identity to the world, that these immense writers like J.K.Rowling, Emily Bronte, had to change their names to get worldwide recognition. Even in the postmodern age, the situation didn’t change and the process of women hiding their originality, their names was like a custom they followed for ages.

But these female writers never let their readers down and always provided the best piece of art even having so many hurdles in their life.

It’s a long way to go, but still, the situation is better as women are gaining recognition and fame in society, the world, and literature through their masterpieces of works.

Petrol, diesel prices hiked again

The petrol price has been increased by 35 paise in Delhi, while diesel saw an increase of 26 paise. This was the seventh hike of this month, according to price notification by the oil retailers.

Bhopal became the first city where petrol prices touched Rs. 100, thereafter cities like Jaipur, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru also sold petrol for Rs.100. In the country’s national capital, petrol prices scaled to Rs. 100 on July 7,2021.

Petrol now costs over Rs.100 in 18 states and UT’s – Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Odisha, Ladakh, Punjab, Sikkim, Delhi, West Bengal, Nagaland, Jammu and Kashmir and Telangana.

The central and taxes make up for 60% of the retail selling price of petrol and over 54% of diesel. Centre levies Rs. 32.90 per litre of excise duty on petrol and Rs. 31.80 a litre on diesel. The difference in prices in states occurs on account of local taxes like VAT or freight charges.

Rajasthan levies the highest VAT on petrol and diesel in the country, followed by Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana.

Here are the list of petrol and diesel prices in the states of India:

Delhi: Petrol prices – Rs. 100.91 per litre; diesel prices – Rs. 89.88 per litre

Kolkata: Petrol prices – Rs. 101.01 per litre; diesel prices – Rs.92.97 per litre

Mumbai: Petrol prices – Rs. 106.93 per litre; diesel prices – Rs. 97.46 per litre

Bhubaneswar: Petrol prices – Rs. 101.37 per litre,

diesel prices – Rs. 97.67 per litre

Srinagar: Petrol prices – Rs. 103.77 per litre, diesel prices – Rs. 93.49 per litre

This was the 39th hike in fuel prices since 4th May. The price of petrol has risen by Rs. 10.51 per litre and diesel by Rs. 9.09 per litre.

Biofuel

Biofuel is made out of biomass and this biomass consist of the organic remains called organic material. World biofuel day is observed on 10th august every year and it is important to discuss about biofuels as they can be an answer to the growing energy demand with no harms to environment.
Biofuel industries play a significant role in every country. Biofuel can contribute tremendously into the economy of both developed and developing countries. These are available in all three forms – solid, liquid and gas and based on the composition, making process and other criteria they can be further categorised. But, how are they different from any other fuel. The most useful feature of biofuel is being a renewable source of energy, a renewable source of energy creates less pollution and serves many added advantages. Today, when the goals are sustainable development, pollution free environment, better alternatives and meeting the growing demand of people in limited resources biofuel is a remarkable resource some of the common bio fuels are Bioethanol, Biodiesels and biogas etc.
Apart from being renewable the production process of bio fuel is also a notable feature, as mentioned before bio fuel is produced from organic material which is widely and easily available. Whereas, on the other hand other fuels which are mostly made from fossil available in a limited quantity, they can get exhausted easily if the requirement increases. Thus, in such a scenario bio fuel can help. Biofuels can be produced easily in any area, just like most of the countries are producing within there boundaries this reduces the dependence on the imported fuels.
Despite having a number of advantages, there are disadvantages associated with biofuels like:
• Production of biofuel requires water in large amount. If there is an insufficient supply of water it can disturb the production process.
• The quantity difference with biofuel, it can not generate same amount of energy in the same quantity as some other fuel. Which ultimately decreases the efficiency of biofuel in comparison to other fuels.
• Also, it requires huge area to setup a biofuel plant in case there is shortage of land then it can not be setup or the land on which the setup is done, it can not be used for any other pourpose so both ways it is a disadvantage.
The advantages and disadvantages are almost equal in numbers and the fact is that biofuel has surely bought changes in the field of energy production for many countries, it has expanded energy production, lesser carbon emission into the atmosphere and reduced the total dependence on fossil fuels. It is observed that the fuel prices are rising every year and they cause global warming at the same time biofuel can be an answer to all such problems specially the countries who are willing to invest in environment friendly product that will be beneficial for the development of the nation. The national leaders worldwide are looking for better alternatives to have a bright future and Biofuels is already one of those, various schemes are policies are framed and implemented at national level for the same.

Brownian motion

Brownian motion is the random movement of particles in a gas or liquid caused by the unequal bombardment of other molecules in the medium. In 1827, Robert Brown first noticed that a pollen grain suspended in water was moving in a random pattern. Later in 1905, Albert Einstein derived a quantitative expression for Brownian motion using the kinetic theory of molecules. Brownian motion is that it’s all around us! The Brownian motion model applies to everyday life: it explains how molecules are transferred throughout a cell to the navigation of robots on random terrain to computing genetic drift in biology to the prediction of stock prices in finance. The movement of pollen grains on still water. Dispersal of pollutants in the air. It is amazing how physics and science have given humanity a way to deal with random situations. All thanks to the Brownian motion.

Julius Mayer was the first person to state the law of the conservation of energy, one of the most fundamental tenets of modern-day physics. The law of the conservation of energy states that the total mechanical energy of a system remains constant in an isolated system of objects that interact with each other only by way of conservative forces.

J = R/(Cp – Cv)

R is the ideal gas constant expressed in work units. Cp and Cv are the specific heats at constant pressure and constant volume. They are expressed in heat units. One problem with Mayer’s work was that he had an accurate value of R, but Cp and Cv data were flawed. Therefore, his value of J was far less accurate than Joule. We call the law of conservation of energy the First Law of Thermodynamics. It says energy is conserved over its many forms’ potential, kinetic, thermal, and so on. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

Keezhadi Nanotechnology

If you believe that if I say Tamil people developed Nanotechnology 2600 years ago. Yes, it is true. Researches say that the pots which the tamil people used then, was coated using Nanotechnology. This blog is going to be about the carbon nanostructures that were found in Keezhadi. Scientists found the 2600 years old earthenwares in Keezhadi coated with carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes have high thermal and electrical conductivity and very high mechanical strength and also very light in weight.

Many may have heard about Keezhadi, the archeological site which portrays the rich civilization of Tamil people in the sixth century BC. Many steps of excavation was made in Keezhadi. Huge remains of pottery were found. When scientists experimented on the pot remains, they found a unique black coating over it. They also discovered that Carbon Nanotubes were in the black coating. These were the oldest known nanostructures on the Earth right now.

In the modern era, Carbon Nanotubes was developed in 1991 which is called CNT. From 1991 to 2006, in America, more than 4500 applications for getting patent rights for Nanotubes have been submitted. This data is from a Scientific paper.

A graphite consists of layers of Graphene laid one over the other. If a single layer Graphene is taken and folded cylindrically/ round, then it is called Carbon Nanotubes. These Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene comes under SP2 bond type. Diamond cones under SP3 bond type. So Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene are tougher than diamonds. So Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene are called as “Wonder Material” by the scientists. Nanotube is used in the Bullet proof vests.

How many types does the Carbon Nanotubes consist of?
Carbon Nanotube has three typpes – Armchair CNT, Zigzag CNT and Choral CNT. The direction in which they are shaped will determine the type. After they have completed a Nanotube it is called Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNT). If there are layers of these, then it is called Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT).

Can these SWCNT or MWCNT created naturally?

There are scientific papers released in 2008 and 2017. In any of those, there is no proof that they occured naturally. So according to science, the possibility for Nanotubes to occur naturally is very low. So one should have helped the process in the ancient era. An external force in specific level is required for its formation. A paper in 2008 says that from 2020 to 2025, the carbon nanotubes would be a billion dollars business. Such a precious material is found in Keezhadi now. But no one is ready to talk about it. But we should know about our history.

Gravity is science. But it existed for billions of years. When a person named it as “Gravity” it was changed into a Scientific term but still it is a Natural Occurance. That is the Reality. The Tamils in Ancient times were dependent on nature. Their way of using Nature to their will was unique. They thought about how to use it to improve their lifestyle. The Tamils were one step ahead of research. So the Tamils in the ancient times knew that Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene were the toughest materials which were very high electrical and heat conductors. Take only the toughness property. So Tamil people who lived 2600 years ago, needed the toughest material available on Earth. Tamils had metals. But they had clay in large quantities. The Tamils wanted to toughen up the clay. So they built aypots but it broke soon. So they discovered that to toughen up the claypots, they should heat them. These heated pots were not so tough. Now they wanted a coating to be done upon the pots. So through trial and error method they did a coating in the claypots. They would have spent many years to complete the research. After many trials with many materials which resulted in failures, the Tamils would have developed the carbon nanotubes.

How many degrees Celsius was required?

Nearly 1100° to 1400° Celsius. In these extreme conditions only, they could have created the Carbon Nanotubes. The Scientists of today say that the materials used for coating may be Carbon rich materials. So when we say Carbon rich materials, it could be Vegetable oil or any other material. When it is combined with the claypots under extreme heat, the carbon nanotubes may be created. The claypots would consist of Iron content. So iron and carbon together may produced Carbon Nanotubes, a material which is 200 times tougher than steel. So through this method, the ancient Tamils would have created Carbon Coated claypots which lasted for many years. Due to the toughness of carbon nanotube, the claypots has been discovered as Archaeological remains in Keezhadi.

“STAY AWAY FROM THE MAN UNTIL HE IS YOUR HUSBAND”.

GIRLS ARE TAUGHT TO STAY AWAY FROM BOYS. THEY ARE MADE TO UNDERSTAND THAT BOYS ARE INHUMAN AND CAN TAKE YOUR BENEFIT. BOYS ARE RUDE, BOYS ARE STONG, THEY PREY ON WOMEN AND SHIT LIKE THAT.

ISNT IT GOING TO BE BETTER TO TEACH YOUR BOYS TO BE KIND TO WOMEN? IS THAT THE BOY’S FAULT , IF HE IS BEING TAUGHT TO CONSIDER HIMSELF TO BE SUPERIOR AND TO BE AN ASSET FOR THE FAMILY ?

IF A DOCILE MIND IS TAUGHT TO DO SO, THEN WHO IS LIABLE FOR THIS MENTALITY?

IS IT THE GIRL’S FAULT THAT SHE IS MADE TO FEEL DUMB AND A LIABILITY.

WHY ARE WE TAUGHT TO STAY AWAY FROM MEN ? WHY ARE WE MADE TO THINK BAD FOR BOYS? WHY ARE WE TAUGHT THESE THINGS?

BOYS WERE NOT BORN WITH THE SUPERIORITY

AND A THINKING PROCESS OF INFERIORITY

IT WAS TAUGHT TO THEM BY THEIR ELDERS

THEY DID A BAD JOB BEING THE METAL { BOYS} WELDORS

WHY COME TO THE FINAL RESULT?

WHEN WE OURSELVES AT AT FAULT.

THINK OF IT, LETS TAKE A HAULT.

Engineers for developing Biological Systems

Engineering has already shaped the view of systems biology and its application to fundamental knowledge, bioremediation, and human health. Already, systems bioengineering has begun to establish a core set of principles for problem-solving that fuses experiments and computation. Some of which are discussed below-

Engineering of artificial gene networks-  Significant efforts were recently undertaken in the design of artificial genetic networks in prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems. Here, different genetic elements or parts are ultimately rationally combined to devices to realize specific cellular behaviors that have frequently analogies to elements from electric circuits such as switches and oscillators.

Networks for intercellular communications-  Creating macroscopically observable artificial functional behaviour in a cell population requires synchronization. Such synchronization can be enforced by adding chemical inducers or by letting the cells themselves produce a signal in response to a change in a culture property. One example for such a property is cell density which can be communicated by quorum sensing, for example via the luxR/luxI system of Vibrio fischeri or artificially engineered systems

Engineering of systems- Engineering biology is a very young discipline that follows a powerful technological vision. However, there are no examples available where the whole approach has been implemented. Still, in some cases, specific aspects of biology have been of critical importance. The design of an E.coli capable of image processing, refactoring of the phage T7, the design of novel polyketide antibiotics and the manufacturing of precursors for the anti-malaria drug artemisinin.

THE RIGHT TO BE PRIDE

It takes no compromise to give people their rights ... it takes no money to respect the individual. It takes no political deal to give people freedom. It takes no survey to remove repression.

Pride is the stand for dignity, equality and justice for the people who are in relationship or prefer same gender .

Pride has lent its name to LGBT-themed organizations, institutes, foundations, book titles, periodicals, a cable TV station, and the Pride Library.

Pride Month

THE HISTORY OF PRIDE MONTH

During the time of 1950s and 60s the LGBTQ community in United State of America . The initiative to Fight against the odds was taken by two homophile organizations Daughter of Bilitis and Mattachine Society. These two pioneered in carrying out pickets called Annual Reminders. These two organization woke up people to inform and reminded that LGBTQ community didn’t receive civil rights protection.

Gay Is Good
The anti-LGBT discourse of these times equated both male and female homosexuality with mental illness. Inspired by Carmichael’s “Black is Beautiful“, gay civil rights pioneer and participant in the Annual Reminders “Gay is Good” a slogan Originated by Frank Kameny in 1968 to counter social stigma and personal feelings of guilt and shame.

CRITICISM FACED BY LGBTQ COMMUNITY.

The criticism faced by the community outside And inside is against the movement of Pride Events. In Many countries the initiative to promote LGBTQ community was taken by the Government officials. Brazil In August 2011, Carlos Apolinário the Aldernman of Sao Paulo City the right-wing Democrats Party sponsored a bill to organize and sponsor “Heterosexual Pride Day” on the third Sunday of December. Apolinário, an Evangelical Protestant, stated that the intent of the parade was a “struggle … against excesses and privileges“. Members of Grupo Gay da Bahia and the Workers’ Party opposed the bill as enhancing “the possibility of discrimination and prejudice”. The bill was nevertheless passed by the city council, but never received the signature of mayor . Turkey. In 2015 police dispersed the LGBT Pride Parade using tear gas and rubber bullets.

In 2016 and 2017, the Istanbul Governor’s Office did not allow the LGBT Pride Parade to take place, citing security concerns and public order.

The Pride March

CONCLUSION.

• people are marginalized and suffer a lot for their human rights. •Their are several Anti-Gay bills passed by some States and some states fought against the odds and help the LGBTQ community to attain their human rights.The issues, challenges and the opportunity experienced by this group in the labor force will draw the attention towards the issues.

UP Draft Population Control Bill 2021

With the aim to provide stabilization in population growth and welfare to public, the Uttar Pradesh government has come up with draft of “Population Control Bill 2021”. The Uttar Pradesh Population (Control, Stabilisation, and Welfare) Bill, 2021 invites suggestions on it. The suggestions have been invited to improve the bill and have to be sent through e-mail – statelawcommission2018@gmail.com or by post, latest by July 19, 2021.

According to state census 2011, Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state with a population of 19.96 crores. The least populated state is Sikkim with a population of 6,07,688.

BPL couple with single child, who undergoes voluntary sterilization shall be benefited with one-time-lump sum amount of 80,000 if it is a boy and 1 lakh if it is a girl.
Whosoever procreates after the commencement of the Act shall be ineligible to contest in elections.
If the child is born at the time of enactment of the law, necessary applications must be undertaken within an year of commencement of Act.
It shall be the duty of government to inroduce a compulsary subject relating to population control in the state schools.

Measures in Mizoram

In contrary to this bill, recently the Mizoram minister had announced that he would reward a living man or woman having the largest number of offspring within his Aizawl East-2 assembly constituency with a cash incentive of ₹1 lakh. According to the minister, the infertility rate and the decreasing growth rate of the Mizo population have become a serious concern. Mizoram’s population was 1,091,014, according to the 2011 census.

“Mizoram is far below the optimum number of people to attain development in various fields because of the gradual decline in its population. The low population is a serious issue and hurdle for small communities or tribes like Mizos to survive and progress,”

Royte

Criticism

It is a good step towards population control. However the process of sterilization of BPL couple shall be done with great care because there have been reports of infections and death post operation.

“INDEPENDENCE DAY”

India’s Independence Day reminds the country’s citizens of all the sacrifices the freedom fighters have made to secure the country’s future. Since its independence, India has made stellar progress in every field, including education, military and space programmes.

History of Our Independence Day

For almost two centuries the Britishers ruled over us. And the citizen of the country suffered a lot due to these oppressors. British officials treat us like slaves until we manage to fight back against them.

We struggled for our independence but work tirelessly and selflessly under the guidance of our leaders Jawahar Lal Nehru, Subhash Chandra Bose, Mahatma Gandhi, Chandra Shekhar Azad, and Bhagat Singh. Some of these leaders choose the path of violence while some choose non-violence. But the ultimate aim of these was to drive out the Britishers from the country. And on 15th August 1947, the long-awaited dream come true.

Why We Celebrate Independence Day?

To relive the moment and to enjoy the spirit of freedom and independence we celebrate Independence Day. Another reason is to remember the sacrifices and lives we have lost in this struggle. Besides, we celebrated it to remind us that this freedom that we enjoy is earned the hard way.

Apart from that, the celebration wakes up the patriot inside us. Along with celebration, the young generation is acquainted with the struggles of the people who lived at that time.

Activities on Independence Day

Although it’s a national holiday the people of the country celebrate it with great enthusiasm. Schools, offices, societies, and colleges celebrate this day by organizing various small and big events.

Every year at Red Fort the Prime Minister of India host the national flag. In the honor of the occasion, 21 gunshots are fired. This is the begging of the main event. This event is later on followed by an army parade.

The school and colleges organize cultural events, fancy dress competitions, speech, debate, and quiz competition.

Importance of Independence Day

Every Indian holds a different viewpoint about Indian Independence. For some, it’s a reminder of the long struggle while for youngsters it stands for the glory and honor of the country. Above all, we can see the feeling of patriotism across the country.

The Indian’s celebrate Independence Day with a feeling of nationalism and patriotism across the country. On this day every citizen echoes with festive feeling and pride in the diversity  and unity of the people. It’s not only a celebration of Independence but also of the unity in diversity of the country.

Cheers to all the foodies

As all of you know that we are in a situation of pandemic and the work from home culture has come into limelight with this people are getting more time to do experiment with their foods ,so the concept of “cooking crafts” has being loved by peoples and they are trying to make some amazing things as the “Dalgona coffee”. “Homemade pasta” this dish has also earn a great popularity during the lockdown then the crazy of virtual cooking classes have also increased .Not only people have loved these unhealthy foods but they have also loved “Plant Based Foods”. At the last as due to the lockdown people were not able to go out so there is a huge increase in the demand of Delivery Services.

Landforms

The landscape is being continuously worn down by two processes – weathering and erosion.Weathering is the breaking and falling apart into small pieces of the rocks on the earth’s surface.Erosion is the wearing down of the landscape by different agents like water,wind,ice and sea waves.The eroded material is carried away by water,wind ,etc.and eventually deposited.This process of erosion and deposition create different landforms on the surface of the earth.

River

The water flowing from its source to river mouth,along a definite course is called a River.Rivers generally originate from a mountain or hill.The place of origin from a mountain or hill.The place of origin of the river is known as it’s source.The place where it joins a lake or sea or an ocean is known as River mouth

The running water in the river erodes the mountains track,which creates a steep-sided valley like the letter’V’ known as ‘V’shaped valley.

Falling of river water over a vertical step in the river bed is called waterfall.It is formed when the soft rocks are removed by erosion.E.g.Coutrallam falls across the river Chittar in Tamil Nadu.Plunge pool is a hollow feature at the base of a waterfall which is formed by cavitation.Alluvial fan is a deposition of sediment occurs at which the rivers enters a plain or the foot-hills.As the river enters the plain it twists and turns forming large bends known as Meanders.Eg.Meanders along the river Vellar near Sethiyathope in Cuddalore District,Tamil Nadu.Due to Continuous erosion and deposition along the sides of the meander,the ends of the meanders loops come closer.In due course of time the meander loop cuts off from the river and forms a cut-off lake,also called an Ox-bow lake

At times the river overflows its banks.This leads to the following of the neighbouring areas.As the river floods,it deposits layers of fine soil and other material called Sendiments along its banks.This leads to the formation of a flat fertile floodplain.The raised banks are called levees.As the river approaches the sea,the speed of the flowing water decreases and the river begins to break up into a number of streams called distributaries.The velocity of the river becomes so slow that it begins to depositi its load.The collection of sediments from all the mouths form Delta.Deltas are excellent productive lands.E.g.Cauvery delta,Ganges delta,Mississippi delta.

Glacier

A large body of ice moving slowly down a slope or valley due to gravity is called a glacier.Glaciers are grouped into Mountain or valley Glaciers and Continental Glaciers.

Continental Glacier

The glacier covering vast areas of a continent with thick ice sheets.E.g.Antarctica,Freeland

Mountain or valley Glaciers

Is a stream of ice, flowing along a valley.It usually follows former river courses and are bounded by steep sides.E.g.The Himalayas and the Alps.Glaciers ,expose the solid rocks of earth by removing the loose materials found on it.

Cirque is a glacially eroded rock basin,with a steep side wall and steep head wall, surrounding an armchair-shaled depression.E.g.Corrie-Scotland (United Kingdom),Kar-Germany.As the ice melts,they get filled up the cirque with water and become beautiful lakes in the mountains called as Tarn Lake.when two adjacent cirques erode towards each other,the previously rounded landscape is transformed into a narrow rocky,steep-sided ridges called Arete.

U’ shaped valley is found beneath the Glaciers which is deepened and widened by the lateral and vertical erosion.The material carried by the glacier such as rocks – big and small,sand and silt get deposited.These deposits form glacial moraines.

Wind

Have you ever visited a desert? Try to collect some pictures of sand dunes.An active agent of erosion and deposition in the deserts is wind.

Winds erode the lower section of the rock more than the upper part.Therefore ,such rocks have narrower base and wider top wider top rocks in the shape of a mushroom, commonly called mushroom rocks.An isolated residual hill, standing like a pillar with rounded tops are called Inselbergs.E.g.Inselberg in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa.

When the wind blows,it lifts and transports sand from one place to another.when it stops blowing the sand falls and gets deposited in low hill-like structures.These are called sand dunes.The crescent shaped sand dunes are called When the grains of sand are very fine and light,the wind can carry it over very very long distances.when such sand is deposited in large areas,it is called Loess.Large deposits of loess are found in China

Sea waves

A part of the land adjoining or near the sea is called the Sea coast.The boundary of a coast line.The coastal areas are subject to change due to wave erosion and wave deposition.

The erosion and deposition of the sea waves give rise to coastal landforms.Sea Cliffs are steep rock faces formed, when the sea waves dash against them.Sea waves continuously

Strike at the rocks.So cracks develop.Over time they become larger and wider.Thus,hollow like caves are formed on the rocks.They are called Sea waves.

pets as family

There are many benefits to owning a pet. Pets teach children valuable life lessons like responsibility, trust, compassion, respect and patience. While pets offer a lot of benefits to kids, kids also have a lot to offer the pet in your family as well. Both kids and pets enjoy high energy play as well as having a cuddle buddy during nap time.

If your child asks for a pet, talk with them about responsibility and the permanency of owning a pet. When the “newness” wears off or the puppy/kitten gets older, will they still want to care for the animal? Have they expressed a consistent desire for a pet and understand it will need daily care up and above play time?

Set up and discuss what your child’s pet responsibilities will be ahead of time. Remember, no matter how committed they are at the time of getting a pet, you will have to consider yourself as the backup plan if and when they cannot or will not continue to care for the pet.

One of the major reasons, and an important life skill, for owning a pet is to teach responsibility. Pets require food, water and love. Many, some more than others, require exercise. They also require grooming (brushing develops large muscles of the arm) and bathroom time (walking the dog develops large muscles of your child’s legs and is good for the development of their heart, brain and lungs).

Children over 5 years old can have developmentally appropriate responsibilities in regards to the care of the pet. Children under the age of 4 should be monitored with pets at all times, and children under the age of 10 should not be expected to take care of a dog or cat completely on their own.

A second skill children learn is trust. A pet offers unconditional support when a child (or anyone) is sad, angry or upset. They can teach your child to trust the pet, themselves and build trust in other relationships as well.

The Amazon Rainforest

See the source image

The Amazon Forest is the biggest rainforest in the world with the highest density of plant and animal species anywhere, covering nine countries with 5,500,000 km2 of forest cover. Moreover, it is bigger than all the other rainforests combined. It is home to more than thousands of species of animals, plants, and trees, making it the most bio-diverse rainforest on the planet. One in ten of the world’s known species live in the Amazon. It is also known as The Amazon Jungle and is located in the South American continent and has the Amazon basin acting as the source of the magnificent Amazon River.

Ecosystem

Amazon rainforest has the biggest ecosystem in the world. This ecosystem is driven by the great Amazon River, which covers thousands of miles and is the main foundation of the ecosystem. The river basin, with an average temperature of 26o C and heavy humid and rainfall levels, has a direct impact on the ecosystem.

The presence of this hot and humid climate has influenced the presence of different species of both plants and animals, making the rainforest have the largest number of species for the kingdoms Animalia and Plantae, including many endangered species. Further, it is home not only to wildlife but also to indigenous people who have been living in the forest. The ecosystem of the rainforest is so big that it helps to control the entire planet’s atmospheric carbon levels. This is attributed to the Amazon basin, which is home to over ten times the annual carbon emissions from fuel consumption.

Plants & Animals

The Amazon biome is home to as many as 80,000 plant species in the Amazon. The tropical climate of the Amazon is the biggest contributing factor for the vast types of plants. The varying climate ensures that all types of plants can grow during the different seasons. The Amazon is home to over 2,000 different animal species. There are over 427 mammal species, 1,300 bird species, 427 amphibian species, 3,000 fish species, and 378 reptile species. In addition to this, there are over 2 million insect species in the Amazon rainforest. One in five of the bird species lives only in this rainforest.

Deforestation

There has been a massive reduction of the Amazon forest area by residents in the nine regions. According to National Geographic, about 17 percent of the Amazonian rainforest has been destroyed over the past 50 years. The major reasons for this are human settlement and search for agricultural land. The land surrounding any river basin is always suitable for farming, given that it harbors suitable nutrient content and, thus, soil fertility. Similarly, the presence of forest cover translates into better soil quality in terms of humus and water retention leaving no chance of soil erosion. Although the soil in the forest is fertile, there is a deterring factor. The fertility of the soils in the Amazon is easily depleted over a short time rendering farming on a single piece of land quite difficult. This is because the sandy soils are thin, thus not suitable for farming.

Wildfire in Amazon

Fires breaking every year in the Amazon rainforest are often caused by accidents during the dry months. Every year, the dry season causes wild fires that destroy wildlife. However, many satellite photographs also show that the fires in the Brazil region of the Amazon were set deliberately to clear many acres of land.

Climate Change of the Amazon Rainforest

Over time, global climate change and more deforestation will likely lead to increased temperatures and changing rain patterns in the Amazon, which will undoubtedly affect the region’s forests, water availability, biodiversity, agriculture, and human health. Industrial farming, urban expansion, mining, petroleum extraction, dams and irresponsible timber production have also led to massive forest loss. As deforestation continues and the effects of climate change intensify, we run the risk of losing this spectacular ecosystem for future generations.
