Teacher's Day !

The word teacher in India is much more than a word of professional identity. The feeling goes very deep with a teacher. If we look into ancient India, we can find a vast role of gurus (teachers) in shaping the beliefs of our disciples. This tradition still exists today, even though it has waned a bit after being hit by the fierce waves of time.

In India, Teachers’ Day is celebrated on 5th September on the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan.  In the year 1965, some of the prominent students of Late Dr S. Radhakrishnan organised a gathering to pay obeisance to that Great Teacher of repute. In that gathering, in his speech Dr Radhakrishnan expressed his deep reservation regarding his birth anniversary celebration and emphasised that his birth anniversary should be celebrated as ‘Teachers’ Day’, by paying homage to other Great Teachers of India and Bangladesh. Since the year 1967, 5th September is celebrated as Teachers’ Day till date.

There is a celebratory tradition that students across the country follow in the vibe of the prestigious day. Students dress up like their teachers and do roleplaying activities with junior classes, showing a glimpse of admiration for their modern age gurus. Teachers are showered with gifts, flowers and handmade greeting cards and many more tokens of appreciation from their students as a symbol of respect and gratitude for providing versatile guidance to them. Students also organize cultural events, up memorable speeches, shows, group activities and much more.

The word Guru is derived from two Sanskrit words GU meaning Darkness and RU meaning Destroyer so guru means “one who destroys darkness”. The above Sanskrit quote means that the guru or teacher is a combination of three deities (Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh) from Indian mythology who bestow great wisdom and remove darkness from the lives of their students.

Though becoming a teacher is not an easy task, they have to be patient and solve their students’ problems for a better future. They teach their students about the importance of time and how to manage and achieve something in their life. They teach us how to respect our elders and parents and how to treat other people around us. The future and present of children totally depend on the education they get from their teachers and it is only they who sometimes become our best friends and help us to remove the mess created by us somewhere in our life.

What is Building Performance and Simulation

Building Performance and Simulation (BPS) refers to the process of using computer-based models and simulations to assess and predict the performance of buildings in terms of various aspects such as energy consumption, thermal comfort, indoor air quality, lighting, acoustics, and more. It’s a multidisciplinary field that combines principles from architecture, engineering, physics, and computer science to analyze how a building’s design, construction, and operation will impact its overall performance.

The primary goal of building performance and simulation is to optimize building designs and operations to achieve energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and other desired outcomes. By creating virtual models of buildings and their components, researchers and professionals can analyze different design options, evaluate the effectiveness of various technologies, and make informed decisions to enhance a building’s performance before it is actually constructed or retrofitted.
Key aspects of Building Performance and Simulation include:
Energy Performance: Simulating the energy consumption of buildings under different scenarios to identify opportunities for energy savings. This involves analyzing heating, cooling, lighting, and equipment systems.
Thermal Comfort: Evaluating the indoor thermal environment to ensure occupant comfort by considering factors like temperature, humidity, and air movement.
Indoor Air Quality: Assessing ventilation and air distribution systems to maintain healthy indoor air quality for occupants.
Daylighting and Lighting: Analyzing the amount of natural daylight a building receives and how artificial lighting systems can be optimized for energy efficiency and occupant satisfaction.
Acoustics: Simulating sound propagation within buildings to ensure optimal acoustic conditions for various spaces.
Solar Gain and Shading: Studying the effects of solar radiation on a building’s interior and exterior and determining how shading strategies can help manage heat gain.
Material Performance: Analyzing the thermal properties and behavior of building materials to optimize insulation and overall energy efficiency.
Life Cycle Assessment: Evaluating the environmental impact of a building’s design, construction, and operation over its entire lifecycle.
Occupant Behavior: Incorporating human behavior patterns into simulations to understand how occupants’ actions influence building performance and energy consumption.
Parametric Design: Using simulation tools to explore a wide range of design options and parameters quickly, allowing architects and engineers to make data-driven decisions.
Advanced computer software and simulation tools play a crucial role in this field, enabling professionals to create accurate virtual models that replicate real-world building behavior. These simulations help to predict how buildings will perform under various conditions and scenarios, aiding architects, engineers, and building owners in making informed decisions to optimize building design and operation for sustainability, comfort, and efficiency.

Web 3.0 : Financial Service Industry

How will the evolution of the web have an effect on Financial Services? This is a question that puts many financial institutions in peril but is it really something that will put banks out of business? 

What is Web 3.0?

Web 3.0 is a new evolution phase that is coming into reality. The web as we know, is evolving into something more secure with more opportunities and various features. A lot of people don’t understand Web 3.0 and are scared of it. This will be a massive change on how we see the internet and how we will use it. It is going to be a decentralized platform and it will be individualized wherein you can customize your internet browsing experience. 

The Royal Bank of Canada is utilizing millions of data points to train its own AI, resulting in fewer client calls and faster application delivery. Meanwhile, BNY Mellon, the world’s largest cross-border payments service provider, improved its fraud prediction accuracy by 20%. By researching real-time market data within nanoseconds, AI and high-performance computing (HPC) are combining to provide better and faster trading intelligence.

What does this mean for Financial Services?

Web 3.0 is transforming the finance sphere slowly into a decentralized place. Basically, you don’t need a financial institution governing your transaction or authorizing them. The transaction will only be initiated by you and reaches the receiver, in a matter of moments, without any middlemen. Using cryptocurrency, you can make transactions over blockchain that eliminates that bank server from between. Cryptos are digital assets that let users transact directly without a payment service provider in the intermediary, which means that they enable new forms of capital. Although Bitcoin remains comparatively low now, it still may provide effective money governance by preserving and protecting the data or memory of what our money represents. Then there is the unparalleled manipulation of fiat money. We can observe how central banks have significantly extended their balance sheets since the GFC and the ongoing pandemic COVID-19. 

DeFi

DeFi is short for decentralized finance where there are no middlemen between you and the receiver. The transaction will be on the blockchain where the transaction time is reduced from time of hours/days, to moments that you can count on your hands. With DeFi, you can perform all transactions and services that are offered by traditional banks, without the bank in between. Now, you might wait for your transaction to be passed through because your bank should allow it and then it has to pass through the bank’s server. 

DeFi uses cryptocurrency as the main currency because they are programmed using blockchain technology. There is a huge difference between CeFi and DeFi. 

Effect on Financial Services

Undoubtedly, Web 3.0 has opened its doors for infinite opportunities and many FinTechs are utilizing them while traditional institutions are being left behind. These organizations are investing in their technology and its improvement in this rapidly changing market. These FinTechs’ major part of investment is into AI which are being programmed to understand the different problems faced by people and able to give out the solutions in a matter of seconds. This dependance on AIs is being constantly improved which are learning from their own errors and giving better and more efficient solutions. A survey by NVIDIA , according to it, nearly 83% of finance service professionals say that AI is essential for the companies’ success. It is also said that AI can improve company growth by 20%.

Conclusion

Web 3.0 is bringing so many opportunities while improving the present technology and organizations that are utilizing it will not be taking rest anytime soon. This technology is just going to become better and better. Every single day that we see this technology step up just shows that we are not done with technology, it can be better and more efficient and these companies are proving that to use everyday. Web 3.0 is showing more freedom of speech and thoughts than the present restricted web 2.0, decentralization is going to put back the control back in the hand of the User.

Where there is age, there is evolution.”

Destructive Habits: Bias

There are many habits that destroy your mental peace, happiness and mostly you. Some of them are usually with different addictions or because of people but what destroys you as a person depends on how you view things and people around you. Your environment is what shapes you but to be different, you have to do it by yourself. 

The most common habits have become common because we are more focused elsewhere than ourselves. To be a better version of yourself, you need to view your flaws and work on them.

  1. Spotlight Effect: We overestimate how much attention people give to our words and appearance. Imagine you said something but it felt wrong after it came out. In reality, everyone only remembers it for the moment and immediately moves to the next topic. We ponder over it for days, forgetting that others don’t care as much as we do about it.

Example: “The red shoes don’t match the outfit at all! I guess the guys are laughing because of it”

*Red shoes matched the outfit better than you imagined*

Truth: No one cares about you as much as your loved ones do. Everyone is just a temporary traveler in your life and you have to be okay with it. Dress how you want and be how you want to be. 

  1. Status Quo Bias: We prefer for things to be the same; usually change is viewed as a negative aspect of life. If you adopt a new habit that cuts out something from your life, you immediately feel guilty of not being able to manage it, so you quit your new habit for the old one because it feels more comfortable.

Example: “I like to paint, but the classes are on Friday, I won’t be able to party! I can always paint later so let’s party now!”

*Proceeds to miss out on an amazing experience*

Truth: Change is hard. To adapt to a new routine and new place is always difficult and your mind is stuck on the old routine, but only then do you learn more about yourself. You may like to paint now, but when you explore it, you may not want to put the brush down! You need to explore that change for a while to know more about yourself.

  1. Zeigarnik Effect: We focus more on the incomplete tasks than the ones that have been completed. Sometimes, we forget to see that we have accomplished many things on the way, and we focus on the ones that we have not accomplished yet. It pushes you to feel bad that you are not able to do anything. 

Example: “Bro I lost the Table-Tennis Pan-India Semi-finals! I feel so like I can’t do it anymore”

*Came so far by winning championships and tournaments*

Truth: You have to see where you are today. Look behind you and see the different hurdles you had to come across. You didn’t cross them just to go back did you? It does feel bad to not achieve something the first time you try it, but when you achieve it, after toiling for some time, the fruit is incomparable.

  1. Pessimism Bias: We tend to overestimate the possibility of negative outcomes. We always have a small part of your mind that searches for a negative outcome. What you see and ask for, is what you get and have. You will increase the chance of losing the opportunity if all you see is losing it.

Example: “I feel like I will lose this chance to be head of department, there are so many others who are way more qualified.”

*Loses opportunity because it messed with your confidence and screwed your interview*

Truth: What energy you put out, is what you usually get. Sometimes, you lose opportunities, but don’t dwell on the wrong aspects. You may not have the necessary qualifications but the way you portray yourself is what gets you opportunities.

  1. Sunken-Cost Fallacy: We invest more in things that have cost us something, even if we have negative outcomes. We feel that if we invest more, the difference can be recovered with just a little gain.

Example: “My portfolio is down by 25%! I will invest 50% of it so with a 25% gain, I can recover the loss”

*Proceeds to lose more because the stock market is in a bear phase*

  1. Self-serving Bias: Our failures are situational but our success is our hardwork’s result. We view that our failures are determined by external factors and our success is because of us. It is also difficult to ascertain what caused success or failure on the spot so we divide it based on the result.

Example: “I lost the game because the opponent was too strong. I got the best player of the match because I practiced well”

*Opponent won because of your overconfidence in your practice*

“The eyes sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.”

~Robertson Davies

Sometimes, we see these habits recurring but we don’t want to change because we feel it will make others dislike us. By changing, you are not making your friends feel bad but giving them a chance to understand that it’s time to improve. It’s time to make yourself the person you always wanted to be. Everyday is a learning step and only then can you improve. These habits of biasing situations have a lot of effect on where you are and where  you want to be.

Destructive Habits: Bias

There are many habits that destroy your mental peace, happiness and mostly you. Some of them are usually with different addictions or because of people but what destroys you as a person depends on how you view things and people around you. Your environment is what shapes you but to be different, you have to do it by yourself. 

The most common habits have become common because we are more focused elsewhere than ourselves. To be a better version of yourself, you need to view your flaws and work on them.

  1. Spotlight Effect: We overestimate how much attention people give to our words and appearance. Imagine you said something but it felt wrong after it came out. In reality, everyone only remembers it for the moment and immediately moves to the next topic. We ponder over it for days, forgetting that others don’t care as much as we do about it.

Example: “The red shoes don’t match the outfit at all! I guess the guys are laughing because of it”

*Red shoes matched the outfit better than you imagined*

Truth: No one cares about you as much as your loved ones do. Everyone is just a temporary traveler in your life and you have to be okay with it. Dress how you want and be how you want to be.

What is C++?

What is C++


C++ is a programming language that is part of the Object Oriented Programming System. This language was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1985. It uses the abstraction of data using a concept named “classes”, among other features, to allow object-oriented programming.

There are no virtual functions in C. C is a middle-level programming language, which uses a top-down approach. A namespace is not available in the C language. There are currently over 35 different operators in C++, which can perform everything from arithmetic and bit manipulation to logical operations, comparisons, and more.

The main purpose of C++ programming was to add object-oriented concepts to the already available C programming. In today’s time, Object Oriented Programming is considered the best in programming.
Programs written in the C++ programming language can be run on operating systems such as Unix, Linux, Windows, etc. Classes are created to use object-oriented concepts.

Software of various types of Mobile Platforms, Satellite Connected Software, Set Top Box etc. are also developed in “C++” language. The “C++” language is used to make the programming codes of iPhone and iPad easy and reusable.

What is the difference between C language and C++?

  1. C language is a procedure-oriented programming language and C++ is a procedure and object-oriented programming language.
  2. Function overloading is never done in C language whereas it is in C++.
  3. C language is a top-down approach whereas C++ is a bottom-up approach.
  4. There is no inheritance in C language while it is in C++.
  5. A namespace is also not found in C language whereas it is found in C++.
  6. C language is a middle-level programming language whereas C++ is a high-level programming language.
  7. C++ has a polymorphism concept whereas C language does not.
  8. There is no virtual function in C language whereas there is in C++.
  9. Exception handling is not possible in C language whereas it is in C++.
  10. C++ has both user-defined and built-in data types, whereas C language has only built-in data types.
  11. C++ has operator overloading whereas C language does not.
  12. The concept of encapsulation does not work in C language, whereas it does in C++.
  13. C language does not support reference variables whereas C++ does.

Why learn C++?

As we studied earlier, C++ is a base language for many programming languages. Therefore, learning C++ as the core language will play an important role while studying other programming languages. It shares similar concepts such as data types, operators, control statements and many more.

‘C’ can be widely used in various applications. It is a simple language and provides fast execution. There are many jobs available for ‘C’ developers in the current market. In today’s date, you will get a lot of saree jobs, and in the coming time also it will be used a lot.

If you learn C++, then you will not have any problem learning other computer programming languages, after learning the C language, you can make both system software and application software of the computer.
Let us tell you that C ++ is the most basic programming language. If you enter the programming field of the computer

If you want, first you have to learn C++. If you learn another programming language without learning C++.

C ++ language is very popular in Computer Programming Languages ​​and its programming language is still used in making much software.
