Block chain Technology- Implementations

You must have heard a lot about the emergence of blockchain, isin’t? But here in this article, we will focus on the practical issues for blockchain implementation.

Introduction

In the tech world, blockchain technology is still the leading buzzword. Its ability to work in a distributed environment without getting tampered is the core source behind all the hypes.

As the technology is still in its developing phase, despite various possibilities in almost every sector, it will still take some course of time to get over all the challenges it is facing right now. Let’s explore what the practical blockchain implementation issues are.

As blockchain is revolutionizing rapidly, its scope and career opportunities are beyond imagination. If you are looking to start a profession in blockchain space and want to become a blockchain expert or a blockchain developer, favorable chances are on its way.

Practical Blockchain Implementation Issues

Blockchain technology is an algorithmic immutable ledger that presents a future-ready architecture for organizations to transact and exchange business-related information securely.

Does it mean it has no challenges? Of course not. There are various challenges associated when it comes to implementation. So let’s get started.

Lack of Internal Blockchain Knowledge

The first and foremost challenge while implementing blockchain is that most organizations have insufficient knowledge about technology. Companies do not have Blockchain experts and professionals who clearly understand the core concept of technology.

Thus organizations find it challenging to choose and adopt the best enterprise blockchain platform. Moreover, the companies are not aware of blockchain implementation steps that should guarantee the best outcome.

High Implementation Cost

Although popular enterprise blockchain platforms such as Hyperledger Fabric have made great strides in terms of the transaction speeds( just about twice the rate over VISA platform), most of the existing platforms such as Bitcoin(transacts 3 to 5 transactions per second ) and Ethereum (up to 15 transactions per second ) are inefficient in terms of speed of transactions and the energy consumption. Thus we can infer that the most convenient blockchain platforms come at a vast implementation and energy costs.

Backup and Recovery

Backup and recovery of data for blockchain networks are also one of the significant implementation issues. Although theoretically, creating a new node is easy, but it’s not practical spending several hours for a new node to sync with existing blockchain nodes and transfer configuration metadata. The recovery becomes even more critical when there is a requirement to migrate a node across datacenters.

Data privacy

Data privacy is a crucial bottleneck problem in blockchain as most enterprises do not appreciate the case where anyone can view their sensitive data, which might be delicate to their core business. Those who plan to share confidential business data are worried about confidentiality between several participants and shielding this data from access by other companions.

But, when blockchain nodes are run as a managed cloud service with users only able to access them through the APIs and event subscriptions, data privacy can be maintained to a great extend.

Blockchain Interoperability

Although they are various enterprise blockchain platforms, interoperability is a pertinent issue to which Blockchain developers are looking for mass adoption. The basic idea is to join one particular platform and to utilize the service on another enterprise platform if required without any severe compatibility problems.

Therefore, developers are finding a way through which users of different software can interact and conduct meaningful business.

Performance

In the blockchain network, the performance requirement is never the same. It varies from one scenario to the other. Like for example, the performance metrics include throughput and latency, and outcomes will vary in terms of network size and hardware configurations, and the tradeoffs between higher throughput versus lower latency.

Thus, based on the deep understanding of the business demands and platform architecture, a reasonable performance optimization solution needs to be adopted.

This is not the end of the list. Moreover, a lack of regulatory clarity is one of the significant implementation issues. Many governments are still unsure about how they consider this technology from a legal standpoint, and this leads to complexity.

Conclusion

Enterprise blockchain is gaining popularity and adoption in almost all sectors and for different use cases. Although blockchain might seem to be offering several advantages to the industries, it needs to be re-architected depending on various use cases for greater acceptance of enterprise blockchain in the mainstream.

The buzz around blockchain probably won’t subside, so hurry up and upgrade your skills now with the best online Blockchain certification courses.

“Indians Against Racism, Brutality . The biggest Hypocrisy?”

“Living in this 21st centuries, with believing in the disbelief of discrimination or any act which divides humanity and differentiate one human from other. We believe that talent,wisdom, knowledge and sense of responsibility and respect for others is far above any individuals background be it a colour or gender or caste or anything. This all brings out the feeling of togetherness around the globe”.

But there are various scenarios and situation we come across in our day to life which shows a strong reflection of these brutal act of racism and discrimination. The true difference between the earlier times and present scenario is that people come up for their friends or any person against whom such act has been done, which truely is an act of humanity and harmony. The present case of death of African American name “George Floyd” in America has again brought the sense of brotherhood and people are standing for him to gain justice of the brutal killing.

Indians not apart from Americans are also standing for George who lost his life in the police encounter. They are also appealing for justice for this man. This act has drawn the attention of people worldwide and people from different countries have been coming in support to stop racism.

But in case of India, where not only racism but also police brutality has been seen and is still active in today’s scenario. We in general hear , how police has been brutal hitting people, especially those in today scenario of pandemic. Various cases have been observed from number of cities india, that how police men are hitting daily wage worker, those having stalls of vegetables, and many other situations. Death of number of people has also been recorded as an encounter with police.

Also the cases of racism and discrimination based on caste and especially gender has been seen widely around the country. So the point of concern is “Why such kind of Hypocrisy”. Before pointing out anything wrong being conducted in any country, one should watch out what’s going around their own surrounding”. It’s easy to point out wrong things and do protest against these things, but the power and wish to do Right matters the most.

There have been various cases of brutal killing of common man by the police force, but no actions have been observed in such situations. We say it’s bad to discriminate people on the bases of colour, and we only buy those creams and powder to make our skin glow. It’s not about that police is wrong in every scenario, we know they are doing their duty and are concern for the law and order to maintain, but any act of brutality should not be taken easily and strict action must be taken against such acts.

So we have to come out of these hypocrisy and work together to get rid out of these brutal acts of killing of innocent people and discriminating any one on the bases of their caste, religion, gender or colour

“We all are humans and we should respect the fact that, out of all, Humanity is the biggest and the most important factor which will help us all to survive difficult situations be it any pandemic or natural calamities, but all we need to do is spread around peace, harmony and sense of brotherhood as this world is full of difficulties but once we stand against them with hand in hand and stand by each other, we will win over them”.

Endless blues: World’s Ocean Day.

What is it About?

World Oceans Day is a worldwide initiative by the United Nations to spread knowledge and awareness about the vast expanse of oceans on Earth. It is based on the idea of preserving the infinite number of life forms and coral reefs that are a part of the ocean and being aware of how human actions can harm their natural habitat. The principal focus of this initiative is to bring the oceans at the forefront of global environmental discussions, and plan and execute a sustainable method to save our oceans and the planet at large.

When is World Oceans Day?

We celebrate World Oceans Day on June 8, and a lot of activities at global, national and community levels are organised worldwide to observe this event.

What is the History of World Ocean Day?

World Oceans Day was first proposed by Canada’s International Centre for Ocean Development and the Ocean Institute of Canada in 1992, at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. Since 2002, the World Ocean Network has been instrumental in garnering support and organising worldwide activities on June 8. A huge network of more than 2000 organisations worldwide are invested in making sure that the ocean is protected from any damage due to technology or other human actions.

Why is World Oceans Day Important?

The composition, temperature, currents and life in the oceans drive every natural system that makes Earth habitable for humankind. Even the balance of oxygen that we breathe is primarily dependent on the ocean. The health of our oceans has become a matter of grave concern, due to the damage they have endured.

Dedicating a particular day to this cause not only helps in spreading awareness among people, but also in mobilising conscientious civic and political efforts towards addressing this global problem. Though spending just one day celebrating the oceans is not enough to bring about the changes required to conserve marine ecology, it works wonders as a starting point for people, especially young minds, to come together to take action against any damage done to ocean.

Other Important Facts About World Oceans Day

Knowing about World Oceans Day is not enough for your children to be able to grasp the whole concept of how important the ocean is for human survival. To encourage your children to celebrate our oceans and strive to make a difference, you could share some fun facts on World Oceans Day and how important the oceans are:

• 97% of Earth’s water is in the oceans, which is home to more than 200, 000 known species and millions of unidentified organisms.

• The oceans purify the air we breathe by absorbing 30% of the carbon dioxide in the air, which also helps in reducing the effects of global warming and climate change.

• Oceans are the world’s largest source of protein, and more than 2.6 billion people depend on the oceans as their primary source of protein.

• 40% of the oceans of the world are today affected by human actions causing pollution, depletion of fisheries, loss of coral reefs and endangerment of marine species. Seven out of the 13 great whale species are endangered today.

•13, 000, 000 tonnes of plastic leak into the ocean water each year. It has been predicted that there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050. Over 100, 000 marine wildlife animals are killed each year due to plastic contamination of the oceans.

• Each year a new theme is assigned to this day to cover different aspects of marine life and human dependency on oceans. In 2020, the celebratory theme on World Oceans Day is “Gender and The Ocean”, which emphasises the harm that gender disparity can bring to our oceans.

• The President of UN General Assembly has launched a global campaign “Play It Out”, against the use of plastic.

• Marine Protected Areas have been chalked out as an initiative to protect the oceans from illegal fishing.

• Jellyfish as a species is older than dinosaurs and has been on this earth for more than 650, 000 years.

• 75% of the world’s volcanoes are located under the Pacific Ocean around Ring of Fire, the largest zone of active volcanoes.

World Ocean Days Activities for Kids

It doesn’t matter how small their hands are, children can drive this movement and even inspire adults to participate. Here are a few activities that your kids can organise on World Oceans Day:

  1. Clean-up Drive

Invite all the children in the neighbourhood to the beach or any water body close by to clean the area. This will help them to understand how much litter ends up in the oceans through different waterways polluting the habitat of marine life.

  1. Ocean Themed Programme

An ocean theme-based arts and crafts competition can attract a lot of attention from children of all ages. You can engage kids in a drawing competition and then display their creative works. You can even inspire a few young writers to submit stories and poems based on marine life.

  1. Ocean Hunt

Treasure hunts are an intriguing way to engage children. Keeping the spirit of World Oceans Day, you can organise an ocean hunt by creating puzzles around facts from the oceanic world, leading to prizes like ornaments made out of sea-shells, passes to any nearby aquarium, books with interesting facts about the ocean, etc.

  1. Storytelling Competition

It is safe to say that all kids love stories, especially when they get to be the judge of who is the best storyteller. Engage the adults around and encourage them to bring in their theatrical talents to entice the kids with amazing storytelling skills. You can always use the sounds of the waves or wild animals from the ocean to enhance your performance.

5.Let the Kids Instruct

No child will say no to an opportunity to give some sound advice to his/her parents. Ask the children to make a list of human actions that harm our oceans and come up with instructional ideas to preserve them. Organise a session with all the adults, where the kids present their points of view on how to keep our oceans and planet safe.

“Understanding Our Oceans”

Human and it’s bonding with nature has helped him to understand various aspects and secrets hidden in it. Nature has some how been more powerful than the abilities of man and has tested his patience at regular intervals. But our environment has most oftenly provided with the resources which has helped the dynasties to follow up. Human has been moving to places since ages in search of better good and cleaner water to drink. And water being one of the most essential item for the survival has not let itself down, instead has helped human in anyway it could be it as a thirst remover or helping out with food to eat.

On the occasion of “Ocean Day” Which is usually celebrated every year on “8th of June”, we will acknowledge how benefitted we are by these water resource, how are these getting affected day by day and what initial steps can we take to save it and help remain it clean.

Oceans and other water resources have often helped humans to survive either helping through drinking source or travelling or even providing food in hard times. But other than this:

1.These have been a greater source of oxygen generators and helping out in dumping the emissions of carbon dioxide. Thus helps in maintaining the adequate oxygen level for all living beings to live.

2.Moreover it also helps to maintain the temperature of the earth or in simple words it helps in regulating the climate conditions and helps in maintaining a balance of hot and cold environment around the globe.

3.But one of the greatest benefit to human is that oceans and areas near oceans or sea are a good place to enjoy holidays or weekends and trips. It not only freshes the mood of individuals but also gives them a close touch to nature and it’s essence of calmness. People usually perform various water activities, like jet skiing, under water Coral visit, sometimes even swimming also and alot more.

4.Other than all these, it is a good source of sea food generation and people widely invest in eating these cuisine. And many more benefits of it.

But in today’s era, we humans are not really taking care of these resources and rather are deteriorating the quality of these, which truely is affecting oceans, life in it and therefore ourselves also. So the major things which are deteriorating the quality are:

1.Throwing of plastic and things made of plastic in it.

2.Releasing out wastage of the cities or nearby areas into it.

3. Melting of glaciers , leading to rise of water levels and thus a major threat to cities around these oceans. This is due to increasing temperature of earth due to emissions of carbon content.

4.And a lot many things which are making these resources dangerous.

But what can be done and initials steps can be taken to protect these very important resources from getting degraded:

1. The prior is to limit the usage of plastic and things made of it.

2. Cleaning of beach, so that the waste around it does not get mixed up in the ocean when the waves come by.

3.Limit the carbon content being released in the atmosphere every day, by shifting to sustainable form of energy and reducing the use of energy sources emitting these harmful gases.

4.During having a tour around the ocean, never threw any waste out in these pure resources.

5. Understand the importance of marine life and also these oceans and thus aware yourself and others around you to protect these resources.

So the reason to celebrate Ocean day is to aware every one about the importance of these essential component of our earth and showcase how these resources play an essential role in our day to day life and this is surely a way to thank these and make sure to protect them from any kind of mistreatment.

But what people usually do on ocean day. The activities mainly include:

1.People conduct and connect with various awareness campaigns for protecting this resource.

2. Most people conduct clean up drives, which are mainly concentrated on collection of waste around the beaches and also in the oceans and make sure these remain cleaner.

3.Most people also prefer not to eat sea food on this day.

4.Spend times with their family in the evening discussing about the importance of this resources and key steps to help it remain cleaner.

So the key aspect of “Ocean Day” is to understand the importance of water, how it is an essential component for our survival and how can we help it remain clean and pollution free . But the key point to focus is, the care of oceans or any other water resource must not remain focused on these specific days only and rather much be worked on for each and every day in the calendar and thus protect our earth from

All you need to know about Cyberbullying ( and how to prevent it)

Cyberbullying, also known as cyberharassment, which happens using electronic means. It is also known as online bullying. It has become increasingly prevalent nowadays, especially among adolescents, as technology had advanced and the digital sphere has broadened. Cyber bullying occur on platforms like social media, chat rooms, and gaming sites where people can see and participate in sharing of content.

Cyber bullying is said to be happen, when someone bullies or harasses others on the internet and other digital spaces, usually on social media sites.

Cyber bullying behaviour involves posting threats, rumors, hateful comments on online platforms/apps, or via SMS or messaging in order to cause humiliation to other users. It includes posting, sending or sharing negative, Unpleasant or false information about an individual for causing humiliation and character assassination. It also involves posting threats, a victim’s personal information, hate speech or sexual remarks to someone on the internet.

Types of Cyber Bullying

An awareness of the different types of Cyberbullying is important. This helps parents and young adults to report cyber bullying and adopt various measures for the same. Following are some of the common types of cyber harassment:

• Trolling has become increasingly prevalent in these days and is the most common form of bullying that happens in an online community. This is done to evoke a reaction or disruption, or sometimes, even for personal amusement.

• Cyberstalking is another type of bullying or harassment which involves electronic communications to stalk a victim; this may tend to be threatening to the victim.

• posting an embarrassing or unpleasant photo/video.

• faking identity online

• issuing online threats to hurt or provoke someone.

• posting hate comments or content triggering religious, racial, ethnic or political malice.

• Also Doxing, it is a practice common on the internet where personal information about an individual is reasearched and published. One finds out information from the person’s social media and other online platforms. It is then used for online defamation, harassment or other forms of cyber bullying.

Cyber Bullying in India 

Cyber bullying in India had increased prominently since availability of affordable data services and social media presence has increased. According to a research by Symantec, almost 8 out of 10 individuals are exposed to different types of internet bullying in India. Most of the victims are generally women and teenagers.

The same study categorises India as the country facing the highest cyber bullying in the Asia Pacific region, more than Australia and Japan.

Special Concerns

with the widespread presence of digital forums, social media websites, posts, comments, content shared by individual can be seen by strangers as well as acquaintances. Whatever content the individual shares online, be it personal or public, creates a kind of public record of their activities, views and behaviour. this can basically represents their personality, which may be accessible to schools, employers, college, clubs, and other institutions who may be researching an individual now or in the future. Cyberbullying can tamper the reputation of everyone involved, not just the the person being bullied but also those who are participating in the bullying. 

What can you do?

Ask for help: if you are experiencing any distress related to online bullying, reach out to someone for help. It maybe your friend, relative, colleague or someone you trust.

Use the technology to cut off the Bully: almost every social media site allows you to report or block someone. They also enable you to report inappropriate content or behaviour. 

Protect your Accounts: passwords are your private information. never share your passwords with anyone no matter who the person might be. Password protect your phone so that no one can use it for impersonation. 

Report Cyber Bullying: The Ministry of Women and Child Development launched a helpline to report cyber bullying/harassment, cyber defamation, especially for women and children as they are subject to cyberbullying the most. most institutions also have special faculty of development whom you may report to, about the bullying.

E – learning: is it beneficial for all.

Now a days we are totally surrounded by technologies. Technologies has become an integral part of our lives and due to which our dependency on it increasing day by day. From waking up by using alarms to doing office work, doing assignments, playing games and many more day to day tasks, we are totally depend on technology.

E – learning also becoming very popular these days. E- learning is the delivery of any kind of knowledge (subjective knowledge or training) through digital platform. In this time of pandemic, E- learning proves very helpful for us. We can easily sit at their homes and attend their lecture, training etc. But this also led to difficulty to so many students as some students don’t have computer and laptop and some don’t have proper internet connection. So apart from the advantages of E-learning, it has some disadvantages too. It is boon for some whereas may be bain for others. So it is necessary to understand both the advantages and disadvantages of E-learning.

ADVANTAGES OF E-LEARNING

  1. FLEXIBILITY OF TIME- In E-learning we can easily sit at home and attend the lessons whenever we have time according to our comfortablility. We need not to go anywhere and attend lectures on time. It is also beneficial for those also who are doing job or attend some other class along with online lectures.
  2. SAVES MONEY- Online classes are cheaper than regular online classes. We can also save travelling money and time.
  3. LEARN AT OUR OWN PACE – Some students can’t pay attention to longer time and can’t able to understand in one time and if they take classes in some regular institute so there is a fix time in which you have to pay attention and understand the particular topic at the teachers pace. But in E-learning we have videos so we can watch it and can learn at our own pace whenever we feel comfortable. Apart from that some students like to learn at day time, some at the morning or night time. So online learning give them flexibility to learn in their individual style.
  4. LESS JUDGEMENTAL- Some students feel embarrassed to ask questions or doubts in front of the whole class but in online learning they are anonymous so there is no feeling of being judged and they can confidently ask their doubts.
  5. ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY- E-learning saves tons of paper and textbooks and we know manufacturing of paper leads to cutting down of lots of trees, so it is cost efficient and saves our environment too.

DISADVANTAGES OF E-LEARNING

  1. NO FACE-TO-FACE INTERACTION- Face-to-face interaction leads to better understanding of the topic. Teacher can motivate students to perform better. Teachers can personally give them feedback which encourage them to improve but in E-learning students lack such feedbacks. They can only ask done doubts only and there is no personalized feedback. There is no face-to-face interaction so teacher is unable to understand whether the students getting the topic or not.
  2. NO SOCIAL INTERACTION- Learning is not only what we are studying or acquiring. It includes what we are learning through our peers, environment etc. In E-learning students get no opportunity to interact with anyone which limits their learning to knowledge which is being transmitted. In this they don’t have someone to talk, share their weaknesses, encourage them. There is no external motivation, so it sometimes leads to anxiety, isolation and depression.
  3. LIMITED TO SOME DISCIPLINE- It is good for subjects such as arts and humanities and other disciplines in which we have to do theory, but E-learning is not convinient for those subjects which include practicals. As practicals require proper setup which is nearly impossible in online classes.
  4. NO DIRECT ASSESSMENT- In online learning, assessments are taken indirectly, so there is higher chances of cheating and copying. So the real knowledge of the child cannot be assessed through this method.
  5. INACCESSIBLE TO SOME PEOPLE- Some people lack laptop, Android phone or Computer and some lack good internet so they are access this , so it is limited to only those people who can afford these technology.

So if I conclude E-learning as both advantage and disadvantage, it can prove boon for some people and bain for others. So whether we have to learn online or in regular institute, it totally depends on what our need is. It is necessary not to generalize one method of learning to everyone. People should be given opportunity to choose in which way they are comfortable in learning. The more ways we are finding to impart knowledge, the more people we are including to learn.

REOPENING OF SCHOOLS

The pandemic of Coronavirus that has engulfed the globe has also motivated us to find solutions for living life with Coronavirus. Our life will not be the same as it was till Coronavirus is around and the medical fraternity comes up with certain medicine that would increase the chances of survival of the people. A nationwide debate has begun about the reopening of schools and educational institutions.

The lock down that commenced from March did not affect the academics as the majority of learning was already completed and only assessment was to be completed. Students could stay at home safely during the spread of the Coronavirus due to the timely closure of the educational institutes by the government.

The time has come when the new academic year is about to commence. The government and the educational stakeholders are in a fix over the methodology or concrete path to be followed for the reopening of the schools. What should be the guidelines to obviate the fear of all the stakeholders about economical aspects and above all safety of students.

The medical perspective has put forth two issues one is safety and protection of the students, teachers, and families, and the other is the prevention of the spread of disease through schools as a hub for the same. Students have a habit of socializing and they are at greater risk than those who will follow the medical guidelines in letter and spirit. It is a difficult task to ensure all the youngsters at schools and colleges following the guidelines on keeping themselves safe. India is a densely populated country and the cases of Corona infection are on rising day by day. Hence, a judicious and careful approach for the reopening of the schools is considered by the government by finding a novel approach to handle the situation.

Factually the corona infected cases are increasing in India and experts have been forecasting that the country may reach a peak in July. Keeping in view the aspect of the increase in the number of corona viruses infected patients by July would pose a different challenge to the government if it opens the schools. Parents association and some activists have already filed cases in the court of law for seeking a delay in the opening of schools.

Though in urban areas online classes are about to become a routine concept. The condition of rural areas in terms of online connectivity is a matter of concern, putting the rural students at a disadvantage. A thought over long term impact on students residing in remote areas and with no resources be also given.

The students can be called to school physically in the second half of the academic year, in the first half certain measures that would reduce the burden on students and the teachers can be initiated. Reduction in the syllabus is one such aspect. The planned conduct of online classes can help all to achieve concrete success in the first half.

The development of a vaccine is in progress and let us hope that we get the same soon. This is the time when we can redefine the education system and help the Education sector find a new beginning. We need to provide the best education to the students.

Worlds first “Internet controlled robot” By 23 year old Indian boy : Covid-19

A 23 year old Thane engineer has developed worlds first-of-its-kind internet controlled robot which can be used to treat covid patients in hospitals.

The robot delivers food, water, beverages, medicines and even some good advices to the patients without the help of any hospital nurses or staffs.

“This aCoro-bot’ eliminates the need of physical presence or contact of nurses or ward boys with the patient. It can deliver food, water, medicines and interact with the patients through a camera. Through a speaker, it can also advise patients on various precautions like sanitizing their hands before picking up anything from the robotic tray,” Says Pratik tirodkar the creator and designer of this robot.

This smart boy is also the founder of a start up ‘PNT solutions’. Whatsmore this young lad had developed other unique creations when he had barely stepped to college. This include world’s first ‘Humanoid’ with 47 body (axis) movements, a robotic bird ornithopter for various outdoor applicationsapplications,  a mini packaging robot and several others.

This genius has even given over a 100 guest lectures to the brain students of IITs and NITs in the country.

This robot can be operated from any part of the world through internet. The robot comes with 3 trays with a carrying capacity of 10-15 kg each, plus a 30-kg storage at the bottom, enabling it to serve the supplies to over a dozen patients at a time in the COVID-19 ward.

“There are separate dispensers for water, tea, coffee, besides sensors for sanitizers which flow out quickly when the patient holds his hand below it and cuts off the supply when the hand is removed. Thus there is minimum wastage,” Tirodkar explained.

“Not only the COVID-19 patients, Coro-bot can also take care of itself. It has three nozzles at the back to give itself a disinfectant bath regularly, it goes on spraying sanitisers on both sides of the path, plus disinfects the ground it moves on by using UV lights” Says the genius.

The Coro-bot also has LED lights illumination to make it convenient for night usage as well, timers for indicating lunch-dinner, emergency button, besides a small PC like screen on the top for basic computer work or entertainment, he said.

This is now successfully deployed at Holy Cross Hospital in kalyan. Impressed by this robot over a dozen of other hospitals have ordered coro-bot in Mumbai.

“The Coro-bot costs between Rs 1.60-Rs.3.80 lakhs, depending on various specifications like the load-carrying capacity, etc, and the Ornithopter is around Rs 30,000. I have a small manufacturing unit at Dombivali, but if I can get a good investor, I can get into mass production,” he said.

Pratik tirodkar is currently doing his Btech in instrumentation engineering from Bharati  Vidyapeeth College of Engineering, Navi Mumbai.

Re-evolution 2020?

Why did I end up keeping a question mark at the end of the title? Is it in order to start my introduction with a question mark by questioning the title or which made me to write this sentence. The answer to this question is a question. Indian Education Future turns out to be a question mark and remains to be question for more far. Our future lies in the past and the past remained as a past and hence future will remain as a future. Past shouldn’t be past in order to make future as a future. Past should change so that our future will not change. Our children’s future can be ours but theirs shouldn’t be theirs which will be cycle and makes the future to be seen only in future’s future.

Chance to change

The change to change the educational system should change which is only possible by changing the mind sets of unchanged. This is only possible by changing the methods of bringing the awareness. Education is the only weapon which can change the change(money) of the unchanged.” Uneducated should be treated as a criminal and illiteracy must be treated as a crime which is the only way to increase the literacy rates”. Education should be mandatory which makes them to read since the only option left to them is it. Fear is the thing which wemake them to feel and the rest is automatically done. Fear for benefit will benefit the society. Before they overcome this fear at least they could have finished secondary education. As soon as they realise it, we make them to understand the importance of education. “If you can’t love to study, fear will make it so”. The feelings are different but the feeling is same. To make the future possible we should take action in the present.

Revolutionary decisions must be made in order to bring a revolution else the only thing we hear about it is “sun is revolving around the sun”.The harsh decisions that you take will make them hard and in turn shine like a diamond. Education can bring the change and in turn make the change like a unbreakable chain. If good has to happen then making bad decisions to make it is not at all a bad decision. Severe tax should be impelled on the parents who are not willing to send their children for the study and that tax will be utilised for the education of that child.

Educational Minister Sisodiya thinking of reopening of school in july in Delhi

Manish Sisodiya wants to open school for class 4 onwards students

The Educational Minister Manish Sisodiya in the latest interview talk about the reopening of School in July for senior students. He told Union Minister that they are thinking about school reopening because for the students of class 4 onwards they really need offline classes to go through about their academics.

But the situation under Corona disease , it can’t be tolerated as the students might be going to do social gathering between them. So, how they will manage social distance.And also for the students school management also needs a lot of changes in rule of conduct. But afterall the question arises are really student follow the guidelines.

All the students also have to be check regularly for thermal screening , that is really a tough work as well as the maintenance of social distance among them also can’t be possible.The Minister had to really go back on his decision and rethought the process of reopening of School.

We can conclude that in today ‘s scenario it is too hard to make this type of thing possible. Because afterall students would be going to hangout with their friends. Also the social distance also a type of impossible task. So Government had to just closed the school till the situation comes under control.

E-LEARNING-CHANGING THE WAY OF EDUCATION.

ABOUT

In this era of Technological boom, e-learning has placed knowledge right at our finger tips, no matter where we are and at what time of the day we wish to study. Literature, Science, Math, Geography, History – you name it; we have it on the display screen of our tablets or phones at the swipe of our fingers.

Just one smart device and some nominal charge for internet connection would take us from the primary level of learning to even college education!e-learning doesn’t In this era of Technological boom, e-learning has placed knowledge right at our finger tips, no matter where we are and at what time of the day we wish to study.

E-learning doesn’t differentiate between a slow learner or a studious one because it helps set up an individualized pattern according to the pace of every student. It doesn’t even matter what our life situation is or how old we are, and is an affordable option for people who can’t meet expenses to purchase lots of books or enroll for tuition or coaching classes website.

WHAT E-LEARNING PROVIDES?

Online learning provides us with an audio-visual treat and 3-dimensional perception that help us comprehend concepts in a much better way. We are open to taking tutorials not only from Indian teachers, but also from people belonging to different parts of the world.

We also get to divide study timings as per our convenience. Literally, no more carrying around books and bags – just sit, stand and walk while learning!

Yet, online learning tempts one to browse through various subjects on a superficial level, rather than going into deep study. This practice, in turn, leads to insufficient understanding of certain basic concepts which might affect our advanced learning.

This is because most online courses do not follow a structured pattern or work assessment. So some students might fail to meet the expected standard of education.

Also, using technology has its own issues like slow internet connection, power shortage crises and cyber security concerns.

If learners use e-learning software, they require devices that are only compatible with that software which is quite a costly investment, at least initially.

One ought to admit though , communication via human connections is a different pleasure altogether, that cannot be substituted by electronic devices in which computer proficiency is essential.

E-LEARNING OVER CLASSROOM LEARNING :

In traditional classroom settings, getting to share ideas with friends, playing with them during break-time, spending some time with nature and listening to encouraging talks from elderly teachers do develop kids’ social skills and empathetic approach.

We cultivate mutual respect and take responsibility for our actions and become better individuals through human connections.

Speaking of health issues, prolonged screen time and sedentary habits eventually lead to dry eyes and obesity. Unhealthy sitting postures cause backache and stiff neck too.

When bored with studies, students play online games and watch inappropriate stuff that could lead them to bad ways or unhealthy lifestyle. Online addiction has been lately categorized as a mental disorder.

In short, e-learning can either shape us into brilliant personalities or can degrade us to lazy and indifferent individuals, depending on our responsible usage & proper supervision of students by adults

What is Data Warehousing and Why is it Important?

Cloud-based technology has revolutionized the business world, allowing companies to easily retrieve and store valuable data about their customers, products and employees. This data is used to inform important business decisions.
Many global corporations have turned to data warehousing to organize data that streams in from corporate branches and operations centers around the world. It’s essential for IT students to understand how data warehousing helps businesses remain competitive in a quickly evolving global marketplace.

What is data warehousing?

A data warehouse is a system that stores data from a company’s operational databases as well as external sources. Data warehouse platforms are different from operational databases because they store historical information, making it easier for business leaders to analyze data over a specific period of time. Data warehouse platforms also sort data based on different subject matter, such as customers, products or business activities.

Why is data warehousing important?

Data warehousing is an increasingly important business intelligence tool, allowing organizations to:
  1. Ensure consistency. Data warehouses are programmed to apply a uniform format to all collected data, which makes it easier for corporate decision-makers to analyze and share data insights with their colleagues around the globe. Standardizing data from different sources also reduces the risk of error in interpretation and improves overall accuracy.
  2. Make better business decisions. Successful business leaders develop data-driven strategies and rarely make decisions without consulting the facts. Data warehousing improves the speed and efficiency of accessing different data sets and makes it easier for corporate decision-makers to derive insights that will guide the business and marketing strategies that set them apart from their competitors.
  3. Improve their bottom line. Data warehouse platforms allow business leaders to quickly access their organization’s historical activities and evaluate initiatives that have been successful — or unsuccessful — in the past. This allows executives to see where they can adjust their strategy to decrease costs, maximize efficiency and increase sales to improve their bottom line.
There are many exciting career paths available for students who are interested in working with data warehouses or within the larger field of business intelligence (BI). BI professionals include data architects, database administrators, coders and analysts, among others.
BI professionals have a wide variety of educational backgrounds, but most employers look for a degree in information technology. Learn more about Herzing’s IT programs here.

5 Ways to Instantly Relax

Anxiety can hit at any time – during a test, at the office, in the middle of a meeting or even in the midst of the holiday season. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to will our bodies to stop being stressed out, but there are ways that you can unwind on the spot and get yourself back on track. Next time you start to feel anxiety coming on, give any of these five relaxation techniques a try:

Breathe deeply

This relaxation technique can be done anywhere and at any time. Stop whatever you’re doing and focus on simply breathing in and out. Inhale deeply and exhale slowly to help bring your heart rate and blood pressure down. Deep breaths bring in more oxygen, which stimulates the parasympathetic reaction that helps reduce anxiety. While you’re at it, close your eyes and visualize yourself in a place that makes you calm, whether that’s your own bedroom or a beach.

Snack on dark chocolate

Ready for the best news you’ll hear all day? Dark chocolate can actually be good for you in moderation. In fact, Greatist reported that dark chocolate helps regulate cortisol, a stress hormone. Stick to about a square, or 1.4 ounces to reap the benefits.

Unplug

Staring at a full email inbox on your computer or phone won’t exactly help diminish that feeling of anxiety. According to the Huffington Post, late night computer use is associated with stress in both men and women. Instead, take a few minutes to put down your phone and step away from the computer screen. Chat with a friend, take a walk or read a book.

Turn up the tunes

Get lost in a song to help decrease your blood pressure and fill your brain with dopamine – a feel-good neurochemical that works to reduce stress hormone levels. But you may want to stay away from the heavy metal if it’s relaxation you’re after. Classical music has proved to be effective in lowering stress levels and slowing your heart rate.

Try aromatherapy

Certain scents can have an amazing effect on stress levels. In fact, citrus has been shown to help alleviate stress by increasing levels of the hormone norepinephrine, which affects mood. If you’re at home, fill a small pot with water and bring to a boil. Add a few drops of vanilla and some orange peels to fill the air with a warm citrusy aroma.

What is a Surgical Technologist?

There are a couple of essential people in the room during a surgery most people know about — the surgeon, of course, and the nurse — but there is one other important player who ensures that everything runs smoothly.
Sometimes referred to as “the unsung heroes of the operating room,” surgical technologists (STs) are well-educated members of the operating team who handle the instruments, supplies and equipment necessary during a surgical procedure. STs must not only understand the procedure being performed but also anticipate the needs of the surgeon before, during and after the operation.

What do surgical technologists do?

An ST’s main job is to assist the surgeon throughout the procedure by holding retractors and instruments, suctioning and sponging, cutting suture and applying dressings. Before the procedure begins, STs set up the sterile back table with instruments needed for the operation and drape the patient and surrounding areas with a sterile barrier.
You can learn more about the day in the life of a surgical technologist from Herzing University ST instructor Stephanie Allen – and what you need to know about working in the operating room.

Where do STs work?

Certified surgical technologists often work within the hospital system in the main operating room or an ambulatory care center for same-day surgery. They can also work in a hospital’s sterile processing department or endoscopic department. Other STs work at a private physician’s office, performing small in-office procedures. Finally, some STs are hired by travel healthcare staffing agencies for assignments of various lengths in surgical facilities around the world.
Regardless of where you choose to work, there are many people that rely on STs to ensure positive outcomes for their patients.
  1. Nurses—Nurses rely on the STs to communicate with the surgeons and relay the information they need to know for the start and end of the procedure. At the end of the procedure, the ST cleans the room and sets up the correct supplies for the next procedure.
  2. Surgeons—STs are the surgeon’s right-hand man/woman. Surgeons rely on the ST to have the proper instruments ready and to anticipate their needs throughout the operation. They also depend on the ST to establish and maintain the sterile field to prevent any breaks in aseptic technique, which could lead to an infection and complicate the patient’s recovery.
  3. Patients—Most importantly, the patient relies on the ST to make sure the procedure goes smoothly and minimize the risk of infection.
The average salary for a surgical technologist depends largely on your experience in the field and the state in which you practice. According to 2018 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, surgical technologists make $47,300 per year on average.

How do I become a Surgical Technologist?

The Herzing surgical technologist program in New Orleans, Louisiana allows students to earn their associate’s degree in two years. Students must complete general education requirements and core classes as well as a clinical externship at a local hospital. At the end of the clinical externship, students sit for the National Certification Exam. If you’re looking for a challenging and rewarding career in healthcare, then a degree in surgical technology could be the right fit for you!
Stephanie L. Allen, CST, BS is a Surgical Technology Instructor at Herzing University – New Orleans with 6 years of experience in all surgery specialties and a concentration in Trauma and Neurology Surgery. Stephanie recently became a contributing peer reviewer and demonstration personnel for the Fuller Surgical Technology: Principles and Practice 7th Edition book and is still practicing in the field at a local hospital. She also earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Saginaw Valley State University.

What Does the Future Hold for Accountants?

When some people hear the word “accountant,” they visualize a worker toiling away in a back room of a business reviewing large books of numbers for hours on end. Fortunately, this is not an accurate picture of today’s accountants because they’ve become stronger strategic partners in businesses instead of just number-crunchers.

What is an accountant?

Accountants are primarily responsible for maintaining and inspecting an organization’s financial records. They may work within the organization itself, or they may provide consulting services to several different organizations.

What do accountants do?

Accountants help manage an organization’s financial assets and records, which include point-of-sale records, inventories, department budgets, internal reports used for executive decision-making and external reports for both the government and investors. Accountants may also be involved in auditing an organization’s financial records to ensure that they are accurate.

Why should I consider a career in accounting?

If those activities appeal to you, you’ll be happy to know that accountants tend to have very good job security as well as higher-than-average salaries. Additionally, accountants tend to have high job satisfaction and US News and World Report ranks accounting as the sixth-best business job and the 14th-best STEM job.

How has technology impacted the role of the accountant?

With the advent of information systems and technology, the role of the accountant is changing. Many automated systems are now able to collect and compile the information that accountants typically handled manually. However, these systems have not decreased the need for accountants. In fact, technology has allowed accountants to provide additional benefits to businesses. With vast amounts of easily accessible data, accountants can work more quickly to provide organizations with insights as to how they can increase efficiency in their business operations.
Now, more accountants are taking a prominent strategic role in businesses, where they can provide expert opinions on business operations in addition to financial management services. This trend will continue as automated systems become more prevalent, and increased competition compels businesses to seek the assistance of those who truly understand the operational and financial inner workings of a company.
