Effects of pandemic on India

India, being a growing nation is drastically effected by the pandemic. Not a single area is left untouched by its effect.

Starting from the most affected area which is the tourism sector. With the government imposing complete lockdown in the initial days of pandemic tourism industry almost collapsed. Small business owner were helpless. For all of us this was the first time experience of such a situation we only have read in the history textbooks about the world wars but hardly anyone knows how to face them we were such naïve. Talking about the tourism sector, everyone was very terrified of the pandemic so majority people just shut themselves into their cozy houses till everything was over but not every one have that big a house or the resources to stay home they were the daily wage workers who gets money only when they travel. So they were helpless many people have changed their professions they moved to their respective home town to work in the farms seeing no scope of employment the city.

Other area that was affected was the educational as their was a severe change in the method of teaching from traditional classroom teaching to completely online. It has effected the students mental health very badly.

The entrainment industry is also effected by the pandemic with the crew members starving to earn money as the industry was completely shut down.

Hope,we will learn from this and will save our planet from any such happening in near future.   

We walk on the roads without falling. But, we tend to fall when we walk on wet surfaces. Why? We walk on the roads safely because of the friction between the feet and the road. But, the friction is less when we walk on wet surface and so we tend to fall.

      Frictional force on friction arises when two or more bodies in contact move or tend to move, relative to each other. It acts always in the opposite direction of the moving body. This force is produced due to the geometrical dissimilarities of the surface of the bodies, which are in relative motion. Friction can produce the following effects.

Friction opposes motion.
It causes wear and tear of the surfaces in contact.
It produces heat.

TYPES OF FRICTION
Friction can be classified into two basic types:
Static friction and
Kinetic friction

STATIC FRICTION
The friction experienced by the motion of bodies, which are at rest is called static friction.

Example: All the objects are rigidly placed to be at rest on the earth.

KINETIC FRICTION
Friction existing during the motion of bodies is called kinetic friction.

Kinetic friction can be further classified into sliding friction and rolling friction.

     When a body slides over the surface of another body, the friction acting between the surfaces in contact is called sliding friction. When a body rolls over another surface, the friction acting between the surfaces in contact is called rolling friction. Rolling friction is less than sliding friction. That is why wheels are provided in vehicles, trolleys, suitcases etc.

FACTORS AFFECTING FRICTION

   Some of the factors which affect friction are given below.

NATURE OF A SURFACE
Moving an object on a rough surface will be difficult, but we can easily move it on a smooth surface. It is because, friction varies between the surfaces.

WEIGHT OF THE BODY
It is easy to pedal your cycle without any load on its carrier. With a load placed on its carrier, it is difficult to move it because the weight on the carrier increases the friction between the surface of the tyre and the road.

AREA OF CONTACT
For a given weight, the friction is directly related to the area of contact between the two surfaces. If the area of contact is greater, then, the friction will be greater too.
A road roller has a broad base, so it offers more friction on the road. But, a cycle has the least friction, since the area of contact of the tyre with the surface of the road is less.

ADVANTAGES OF FRICTION
Friction is necessary for our day to day activities. It is desirable in most of the situations of our daily life.

We can hold objects in our hand due to friction.
We can walk on the road because of friction. The friction between footwear and the ground help us to walk without slipping.
Writing on the paper with a pen is easy due to friction.
Automobiles can move safely due to friction between the tyres and the road. Brakes can be applied due to frictional resistance on brake shoes.
We are able to light a matchstick, sew clothes, tie a knot or fix a nail on the wall because of friction.
Through friction makes our life easy, it has some negative effects also. So, it is called as ‘necessary evil’.

DISADVANTAGES OF FRICTION
Friction wears out the surfaces rubbing with each other, like screws and gears in machines or soles of shoes.
An excess amount of effort has to be given to overcome the friction while operating a machine. This leads to wastage of energy.
Friction produces heat, which causes physical damage to the machines.

INCREASING AND DECREASING FRICITION

AREA OF CONTACT
Friction can be increased by increasing the area of the surfaces in contact. For example, brake shoes in a cycle have to be adjusted so that they are as close as possible to the rim of the wheel, in order to increase the friction.

USING LUBRICANTS
A substance which reduces the frictional force is called a lubricant. Example, Grease, coconut oil, graphite, castor oil, etc. the lubricants fill up the gaps in the irregular surfaces between the bodies in contact. This provides a smooth layer thus preventing a direct contact between their rough surfaces.

USING BALL BEARING
Since rolling friction is smaller than sliding friction, sliding is replaced by rolling with the usage of ball bearing. For the same reason, lead shots are used in the bearing of a cycle hub.

The title can be well explained by the famous fiction ‘The Enemy’ by Pearl Sydenstricker Buck.

The protagonist, Sadao perfectly balanced patriotism and professionalism. Being a true Jap, he harbored an enemy, the American POW, Tom despite of thinking of the blot of traitor on his identity as a respectable citizen. Sadao. faced a mental and physical toil during the period in which he harbored American POW. He was taken aback, when he failed to receive any support from his servants, who have been with him since his childhood, for they were having old notion and superstition, as well as the fear of the catastrophic results of the presence of the POW within the house. They thought that the gun and sea, who tried to kill the enemy, would definitely take the revenge from them.

Among all this turmoil, Hana was the only person, who abreacted Sadao in his thick and thins, for she washed the American POW after Yumi’s refusal, fed him, nursed him and took care of his petty things and demands. Moreover, Hana, decided to stand with Sadao in any catastrophic situation, which provided a strong mental and emotional support to him.

General, was the another man, who desisted his duties and failed to send his assassins. He due to his illness, failed to depict the patriotism towards the country, and Sadao felt him in palm of his hands.

Despite, of all this turmoil, Sadao was a strong man and a true Jap, who overcame all hurdles in having his duties fairly with honesty and dare.

Artificial Intelligence is becoming commonplace across major industries and retail is no exception.The retail industry is looking for ways to keep up with the times and many companies have started implementing AI technology across the entire product and service cycle – from assembly to post-sale customer service interactions.Major retailers such as Walmart, Sephora, Walgreens, North Face, Uniqlo, West Elm, and Macy’s are using AI to enhance customers’ experiences at their stores while also improving security. AI Applications in Retail While hardware giant Lowe’s uses small robots to give directions and help customers navigate a large hardware store, Walgreens is using technology to track the spread of flu, based on the locations of customers picking up prescriptions so they can alert customers to the flu activity in their area and stock more flu-related products.Another example is makeup company Sephora, which now uses AI technology in many of its stores to scan customers’ faces and help them choose the perfect shade of blush, lipstick, or eyeliner without having to test multiple products.Meanwhile, a Walmart store in New York is becoming the “store of the future” by incorporating the latest AI technology. The store’s smart cameras will have the capability to alert workers when items are out of stock and even let them know when a bunch of bananas has gone bad. Providing a Customizable Retail Experience Artificial intelligence is being used for everything from preparing packages in warehouses to enhancing security to creating a customized experience for consumers.One company that is delivering solutions to retail and security is VSBLTY Groupe Technologies Corp.(CSE:VSBY) (OTC:VSBGF). VSBLTY is at the forefront of making AI work in the retail space, developing innovative facial recognition software and interactive digital screens that will provide retailers with a multitude of AI features.VSBLTY’s VisionCaptor content management system brings interactive messages to any digital screen and provides insights on customer demographics and emotional states, allowing engagement with consumers in real time.By commanding guests’ attention with dynamic digital displays, custom content can be provided based on what the display camera “sees,” while gaining valuable insights in real time. Through engaging digital assets such as animations, photos, videos, and multimedia content, VSBLTY software creates a complete customer experience through digital displays, which can be utilized in transit hubs, entertainment and sports venues, grocery stores, drug stores and, really, any retail environments.What’s more, VSBLTY’s VisionCaptor can be integrated with other technologies, including RSS feeds, QR codes, and Bluetooth.”Using Edge- and/or Cloud-enabled digital display solutions, retailers can now enhance guest experience with proximity-aware, interactive brand messaging triggered by demographic, identity or even sentiment, while simultaneously gaining groundbreaking levels of measurement and actionable insights,” according to the company’s website. Offering Enhanced Security Features VSBLTY has also developed AI solutions that enhance security.VSBLTY Vector is focused on security solutions that combine video screens with facial recognition software and criminal databases in order to identify “persons of interest” or individuals carrying weapons. Cameras are embedded in screens and can identify individuals alone or in crowds more effectively than overhead cameras, and can allow for demographic and emotional recognition as well as facial and object recognition.By teaching computers how to skillfully interpret their surroundings, VSBLTY software can contextualize all of the information about those surroundings and deliver it to the end-user vetted and streamlined for the particular security application.

Introduction

Short story “The three question” is written by Leo Tolstoy, is a parable.
Theme of the story is wisdom, knowledge, awareness, kindness,
forgiveness and acceptance. It is a very motivational story to read I
would recommend to read it once.
Summary
The story revolves around a king who wants to find answers to his three
most important questions in life. He gathers many wise men of his
kingdom to answer his question but every one differs in their answer and
none of the answers satisfied king. So, he goes to a saint in search for
answers and got some of most important life lessons their.
The three questions were
What is the right time to begin something?
Which people should he listen to?
What is the most important thing for him to do?
I think the purpose of the story was to reminds people to be mindful and
live in the present as it is the only time we have any control over. And the
writer was very much successful in achieving that purpose.
Leo Tolstoy, always brings a story that people will probably like and
that’s why I am very thankful for him because he wrote us another good,
beautiful and interesting story. In this story Motive of life is explained
very wisely in just few pages.
Conclusion
Lesson learned-You should not go ask other people to decide for what
you are going to do because in the end it’s still you who will answer
everything, in the end it’s your decision.
In the story I can quite relate to the king because I often ask other people
before actually doing something which now I think is bad. It just shows
that you don’t believe in yourself. If there is one character here in this
story whom I am really love, it is the saint. I liked him for being full of
wisdom. I liked everything he answered. It really proved that elders are
really more experienced and logical about things in life; they are full of
wisdom.

About-Mental Health has to be one of the most important issue that whole world is facing right now, but you know who is silently facing it, yes they are so called cool teens. who always love to over exaggerate their life. They always love to compare their life with others,buy things they don’t need to impress people they don’t like, and ironically their parents who have raised them are complaining about their behavior.I think mental health is very much linked with your nature like whether you are introvert,extrovert.

• suppose,if you are extrovert you will not think that much about something like an introvert.
• If you are introvert I think the whole problem lies their,they too good for this cruel world where everyone is thinking about themself. 

How to tackle Negativity

• First of all if you want to change the world you need many sources such as money,power without money and power you can,t do anything over here so work day and night to get as much money as you can and then raise your voice against any injustice and in this process of having a aim you can keep yourself away from negativity.
• Every much has got so much to say, but rarely they listen.
• Listen to online video of famous motivational speaker.
• And never compare your day-1 at something to somebody’s day-1000,you can’t compare your life to anybody,and for god-sake stop using social media and stop giving it that much importance,it will ruin you ,if you cannot handle it properly. 

As the coronavirus pandemic rapidly turned the “new normal” household into hubs for all daily activities, Summer 2020 now means moving parents’ offices, kid’s camps, vacation destinations, and virtually everything under one roof.Although this dynamic could forge family bonds, it can also ignite the already heated stresses and struggles facing many Americans during this difficult time – making optimal home climate control a critical key to keeping their cool as temperatures heat up this season.Recent studies show how our increased togetherness can significantly disrupt domestic bliss. In fact, research suggests that people forced to live in quarantine conditions face a greater risk of anxiety, depression, anger, irritability, insomnia and post-traumatic stress symptoms.And, despite feeling close to their children during the pandemic, 61percent of parents say they have shouted, yelled, or screamed at them at least once over the past two weeks, according to a University of Michigan study. Further, married and engaged couples in quarantine are fighting more, with only 18 percent of surveyed couples reporting satisfaction in communication with their partner, according to a survey conducted by the publication, “The Knot and app Lasting.”When temperatures – and tempers – rise, a dreaded “Family Thermostat War” can ensue. Following are some useful tips to help you save money on utility bills and keep your family cool.With home heating and cooling accounting for nearly half of home energy use and air conditioner energy expenses costing homeowners more than $11 billion a year, small steps can go a long way.* Ease Into Electric: According to Columbia University’s Earth Institute, electric systems are a solution to decarbonize home climate control. Among the most energy-efficient heating and cooling products, electricity-powered ductless mini-split systems, offered by companies including Fujitsu General America, can save as much as 25 percent on your energy bill. Mini-splits use thin copper tubing to pump refrigerant from an outdoor compressor directly into an indoor air-handling unit, where the air is quietly distributed to the interior space.* Get “Smart” About Climate Control: When it comes to smart home temperature control, there are Smart HVAC Systems and Smart Thermostats. Smart HVAC systems have built-in Internet capability and can be controlled directly without additional equipment. Smart Home Thermostats create “smart” systems by enabling remote temperature control via a mobile or Internet-connected device or voice-operated home automation system.* Voice Your Preference: Take control of your comfort. Most HVAC manufacturers offer apps that enable systems to be controlled from anywhere using a mobile device. Voice-control capability uses digital assistants, such as Amazon Alexa or Google Home, to verbally dictate home temperatures. Easily controlling the temperature more closely allows homeowners to be more comfortable and improve energy savings.* Find Your Efficient Comfort Zone: Many of us live in homes designed for bigger families, but have yet to downsize. If you find yourself using a fraction of your home on a regular basis, consider upgrading to a zoned, ducted, or ductless system. That will allow you to save energy heating and cooling spaces where you and your family don’t spend a lot of time. This will multiply savings as you’re not only needing less cooling, but you also gain from a more efficient system in the spaces you do still use.* Try Low-tech Fixes: Simple changes can have a big impact. Try to use heat-producing appliances – stoves, irons and dryers at night or early morning. Switch to LED light bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs – which consume 90 percent more power. Seal air leaks around windows, doors, and places where pipes and wires come through walls. And check existing caulking and weather-stripping for gaps or cracks.Achieving a sense of peaceful co-existence in your increasingly crowded, multi-functional home does not need to make your family members hot under the collar. If a new system is right for you, many Fujitsu systems with the Energy Star rating are more than twice as efficient as the minimum standard set by the government.
