Video streaming is no doubt a huge business. In 2020, it has generated a revenue of approximately $26 billion, with an annual growth rate of 4.1%.

Netflix is a veteran in the industry, having been founded back in 1997. Over the years, as streaming became more popular, Netflix established itself as the industry leader and today has 167 million subscribers worldwide. Following the success of Netflix, big entertainment firms and film production companies began their own streaming services. These being YouTube, Hulu, Amazon Prime, with the most recent entry into the market, apple TV+, HBO MAX, Disney+ and NBC’s Peacock.

With all companies facing high competition, every streaming service had to do something big to attract customers, showing how their OTT platform is superior to the others. Netflix spends billions of dollars every year to create Netflix original movies and web series, allowing young aspiring filmmakers as well as legendary veterans in the film industry to use the platform without complications of getting their films financed or released in theaters. Disney acquired large money-making studios like Marvel Studios (company behind the blockbuster Marvel superhero films) and Lucasfilm (company behind the legendary Star Wars franchise). Amazon prime membership has multiple advantages, with free prime delivery, prime music (their own music streaming service), and best of all primevideo which hosts thousands of great movies and shows across all major languages. Amazon spends a lot of its budget to create regional language content. Recently Amazon acquired Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the century old legendary production studio for $8.5 billion.

Sports also plays a huge role in getting customers to subscribe to a streaming service. Peacock announced that it will be streaming Tokyo Olympics live on its service. Disney+ partnered with Hotstar, India’s biggest streaming service, which streams major sporting events and leagues on its platform.

Every streaming service comes with subscription packages of different benefits and price range. Disney+ being new to the market, had a few tricks up their sleeve to attract customers from other streaming services to switch to their own. The basic subscription of Disney+ and Netflix are the same price, yet Disney+ includes 4K viewing, while Netflix customers have to pay extra to enjoy 4K. Even HD streaming on Netflix comes with an extra fee. Netflix only allows one viewer at a time for its basic subscription, while Disney+ offers up to four viewers on one subscription. These may seem like small details, but when going head-to-head with an already established brand, it helps to offer extra benefits and features.

The major reasons for the boom in popularity of OTT in India was the availability of low-cost mobile data and affordable smartphones. India has the cheapest mobile data in the world with 1GB costing just INR 18.5 as compared to the global average of about INR 600. It enabled the youth in India to access OTT video streaming services at affordable prices.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19 and national lockdown in 2020, India witnessed a significant growth in the usage of OTT. Until then, the popularity of OTT platforms were limited to urban area and above middle class. Film theatres were also closed since national lockdown, people were restricted to their homes and didn’t have much options for entertainment. Big budget films starring huge stars are being directly released in OTT platforms and have been very successful for both filmmakers as well as streaming services.

This is the story of the rise of streaming services in India and around the world and what we are witnessing is just the very beginning of a new era of entertainment.

When astronomers first started using radio telescopes in the 1950s to study the Universe, they discovered a strange phenomenon. They found objects that shone brightly in the radio spectrum, but they couldn’t see any visible object associated with them. They called them quasi-stellar radio sources, or “quasars” for short. Within a decade of their discovery, astronomers learned that these quasars were moving away at tremendous velocities. This velocity, or red-shift of their light, indicated that they were billions of light-years away; beyond the capabilities of most optical telescopes. It wasn’t until the 1960s when a quasar was finally tied to an optical object, a distant galaxy.

Here’s where Astronomers got creative. Maybe quasars weren’t really that bright, and it was our understanding of the size and expansion of the Universe that was wrong. Or maybe we were seeing the results of a civilization, who had harnessed all stars in their galaxy into some kind of energy source. Then in the 1980s, astronomers started to agree on the active galaxy theory as the source of quasars. That, in fact, several different kinds of objects: quasars, blazars and radio galaxies were all the same thing, just seen from different angles. And that some mechanism was causing galaxies to blast out jets of radiation from their cores.

We now know that all galaxies have supermassive black holes at their centers; some billions of times the mass of the Sun. When material gets too close, it forms an accretion disk around the black hole. It heats up to millions of degrees, blasting out an enormous amount of radiation. The magnetic environment around the black hole forms twin jets of material which flow out into space for millions of light-years. This is an AGN, an active galactic nucleus. Since our own Milky Way has a supermassive black hole, it’s likely that we have gone through many active stages, whenever material is falling into the black hole; our galaxy would be seen as a quasar. But other times, like now, the supermassive black hole is quiet.

Supermassive black holes aren’t always feeding. If a black hole runs out of food, the jets run out of power and shut down. Right up until something else gets too close, and the whole system starts up again. The Milky Way has a supermassive black hole at its center, and it’s all out of food. It doesn’t have an active galactic nucleus, and so, we don’t appear as a quasar to some distant galaxy. With new powerful telescopes, astronomers have observed that some quasars have long jets of material firing out from the center of the galaxy. These are channeled by the magnetic fields created by the supermassive black hole’s rotation in the accretion disk. The most luminous quasars can exceed the radiation output of an average quasar. We may have in the past, and may again in the future. In 10 billion years or so, when the Milky way collides with Andromeda, our supermassive black hole may roar to life as a quasar, consuming all this new material.

Development in the technology sector is increasing day by day , now people can hear what other people are saying and can track their location without the other person being aware of it. In my opinion though their are many disadvantages of this development the advantages overweigh them.

To embark on , sometimes people misuse the opportunities given to them. Nowadays the technology that was developed for the betterment of the society is being used for wrong purpose by many people. With the help of security camera many people record other people and misuse the videos. many people now hack into the cell phones of other people and steal their personal details. For an instance a person hacked into my uncle’s phone and stolen his credit card details and used them. Therefore the people with the help of improved facilities indulge into malpractices. Hence, making the development a disadvantage.

However, the benefits of these developments are so many that the disadvantages get overshadowed. The police has benefited a lot with the help of security cameras , it has become easier to find the criminals. Now people can track the location of their family members and can keep them safe. Now the cyber police can easily track a persons phone and find him. For example a person stole my friend’s phone while she was walking on the road with the help of a certain application the officials were able to find the robbers. Therefore development can be beneficial if used in a proper manner.

To encapsulate everything has its own benefits and repercussions it is on the people how they seize an opportunity and use it whether to do good or to do wrong things with the help provided to them.

“LONELINESS ADDS BEAUTY OF LIFE. IT PUTS A SPECIAL BURN ON SUNSETS & MAKES NIGHT AIR SMELL BETTER”

𝗔𝗜𝗥 is the constant pressure that we feel around us but can never see. The observable effects of air can be seen throughout nature, through the swaying of the plants and the trees. The air when flows with speed and pressure is called as a 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘇𝗲. Even though we cannot see air with our naked eyes, we can still feel it being around us at all times, we also known for certain that without air, life itself would not exist.

In earlier times, the 𝗮𝗶𝗿 was thought to be one single substance but now it is known that 𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗺𝗶𝘅𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗴𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 . A mixture of 2 vital gases mainly “Nitrogen and Oxygen” in a certain percentage is what allows us to live in such a sustainable condition on planet earth.We all need 𝗢𝗫𝗬𝗚𝗘𝗡 𝗧𝗢 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗣𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 The animals that live both on land and even the aquatic animals need oxygen to exist otherwise they would all perish. Air is the fundamental building block, apart from which life itself would not exist. Bubbles in water only occur due to the small concentration of air, that gets trapped in the small bubbles.

• 𝗔𝗜𝗥 s one of the primary necessities for supporting life on earth. Air, water and soil are the primary needs for sustaining life. Try holding your breath for a few seconds. You can do that for a maximum of twenty- twenty five seconds or maximum of thirty seconds.

Beyond that it is impossible for a human to hold his 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇. Then suddenly a pain of breathlessness grasps over the entire body. Our body chokes. It leaps out to grab air. We behave just like a fish out of water. This will be the condition if there is no air on earth. We can survive for a few second maximum. Not only breathing. Air helps us to hear sounds. Without air sound cannot travel. It needs a medium to travel. Without air the earth would be a soundless place. Air is made up of many components. It contains different gases, solid particles and also water vapour.The mixture of different gases comes to different use. Dirt and suspended particulate matter form the solid part and water vapour form the liquid part.

𝐀𝐈𝐑 𝐏𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 may be caused by various processes, either natural or anthropogenic (man-made). Some of them leave evident traces in the air; others can go unnoticed unless specific tests are conducted or until you become ill from their effect.

Air pollution is the presence of substances in the 𝗔𝘁𝗺𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 that are harmful to the 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 o 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀 and other 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, or cause damage to the 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 or to materials.

From exit of US and NATO forces from Afghanistan, India may soon counter a condition in which it would have no presence in the country. Not even diplomatic presence. This is going to be the reversal of a long friendship. Afghanistan is vital to India’s strategic interest.

In 1947, right after independence, India concluded a Treaty of Friendship with Afghanistan which opened up diplomatic relations. During 1950s and 60s, India strengthen its diplomatic ties with Afghanistan. India’s first and most significant interest is to ensure that Pakistan does not gain anything from Afghanistan. If it happens, it will be disastrous to the regional security of India. Pakistan on the other hand, refuse the transit rights to India over Pakistan to reach Afghan. India has used alternative way from Chahbahar port in Iran to reach landlock Afghanistan.

India has built roads, dams, consulates, electricity transmission lines, schools and hospitals etc. Some of the projects by India in Afghaistan are-
1. Salma Dam: the 42MW dam in Herat province of Afghanistan. The hydropower and irrigation project inaugrated by PM modi in 2016. It is also known as the ‘Afghan-India Friendship Dam’.
2. Zaranj-Delaram Highway: 218 km long highway built by Border Roads Organisation, located close to the border with Iran. This highway is of strategic important to India as it provides an alternate route to Afghanistan via Iran.
3. Afghan Parliament: built in 2015, it was inaugrated by PM Modi in his visit to Afghanistan. Even one block in this building is dedicated to the former prime minister of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
4. Electricity Infrastructure: some projects by India in Afghan like 220kV DC transmission like in Baghlan province. Also some telecommunications infrastructure is restored by indian contractors and workers.
5. Health: India has reconstructed “Indira Gandhi Institute for Child Health in 1985, i.e. a children’s hospital. It has also built some clinics in different provinces of Afghanistan.
6. Other projects: Apart from the above mentioned projects, some other contributions from Indian side like, benches and desks to schools, solar panels in villages, sulabh toilet blocks, transportation buses etc.

Currently both the sides are working together on Shatoot Dam project in Kabul district, with an aim to provide safe drinking water to 2 million people. Some other projects are still going on. India has provided $3 billion estimated assistance to Afghanistan.

In Hinduism, Lord Vishnu is one of the triumvirates of God namely Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwar. Among these three triumvirates of God Lord Brahma is believed to be the creator of the universe, Lord Maheshwar, i.e., Lord Shiva is known to the destroyer and Lord Vishnu is believed to be the preserver or protector of the whole universe.

According to Hindus, it is said that Lord Vishnu came to earth many times as a human being for restoring the balance between the good and evil. It is said that Lord Vishnu has already incarnated in the earth about twenty-five times and Lord Kalki will be the last and final incarnation of Lord Vishnu.

Hindus depicted the picture of Lord Vishnu as reclining on a large snake bed in the Cosmos Ocean where he is in deep meditative sleep along with Lakshmi who is offering her service to the Lord Vishnu.

Apart from that in the portrait of Lord Vishnu, it is seen that a lotus blossomed from the belly of Lord Vishnu and gave birth to Lord Brahma. In the portrait, it is also seen that Lord Brahma who has created the world is paying his respect to the Lord Vishnu.

But the appearance of Kalki Avatar of Lord Vishnu is believed to be the Lord of the universe and in Hinduism, the picture of Lord Kalki is portrayed as the Lord is riding on his horse Devadatta with a sword in his hand. This appearance of Lord Kalki is found in the Srimad Bhagavatam.

It is said that the main mission of Lord Kalki to appear on the earth would be to destroy Koli which would signify an evil person. The main motive of Lord Kalki would be to destroy all barbarians and thieves from the earth and make the earth peaceful place to live in.

Apart from that, it is also said that Lord Kalki would defeat the Kings called to Koli and hand over the rule to Devapi and Maru the religious king of Koli yugas.

It is believed that Lord Kalki will descend to earth during Baisakha month. It is usually said that Lord Kalki will appear on the earth on the 12th day after the full moon day.

That means it can be guessed that he will appear at any time from 26th April to 15th May. It is also predicted that the Lord Kalki will be born to a man who would be named Visnu Yasa and his mother would be named as Sumati.

It is also believed that Lord Kalki would go to Sinhala and marry the Padma and would start his conjugal life.

Thus, these were some of the lesser known facts of the Kalki Avatar. The Last Avatar by Vishwas Mudagal is one of the most popular books on the Kalki Avatar. Read it to know more about how the Kalki Avatar will save a world that is destined to destroy itself.

The world has suffered from Corona virus from last year and it’s still recovering from it. Where many countries have came up with the vaccination and are trying their best to vaccinate the citizens many are still suffering from the virus and its different variants.

Among these only India also stands fighting the virus with all that the country can do. Where the government is trying to keep up with the vaccination process, at the same time at many places vaccines are still not available. On coming to registering for the vaccination, it becomes a hard task for common people to do that as the site comes as server down or there are no slots available for vaccination.

This all is happening when India still hasn’t came out of the impact of the second wave of corona that the country  faced. The  lockdown has just been lifted and there are claims about having a third wave around October as well.  While there are claims also made that it will be better control  this time but the pandemic will still be a public health threat for another year.

The vaccination may provide some measure of immunity but according to different sources India has vaccinated only 5% of its total population, But experts have claimed that the vaccination will pick up speed and we will be able to provide vaccination to everyone.

Most of the states have took up the restrictions and have started preparing for the third wave. But there has been alarm raising things going on as the huge crowd can be seen in different states on different occasion.  There has been pictures of markets, parks and hill stations where crowd can be seen and people are enjoying the places without following the appropriate guidelines.

At the peak of its second wave India reported over 400000 new cases daily along with shortage of vaccine, hospital beds, medicines, oxygen. Over 380000 people have been reported dead due to corona so far.

Due to consistence news of corona variants that have been reported all over the world are also a subject of concern. The delta variant of the corona virus which was first identified  in India, is fast becoming the dominant variant globally due to its increased transmissibility.

We all need to be aware of the situation and need to follow the guidelines for sure. people need to get vaccination and be aware of the fact that it does not harm to people and it for our own good.

 Thank you for reading.

A man named Patrick McDonald opened a small food stand called “The Airdome” in Monrovia, California in the late 1930s. The stand served burgers and orange juice that cost ten and five cents, respectively. By 1940, Patrick’s sons Dick(Richard) and Mac(Maurice) McDonald had inherited and been operating their father’s small business, and moved the restaurant’s location in San Bernardino, California.

It was in the year 1948 where the true foundations of McDonald’s lay. When Mac and Dick McDonald realized that the burgers became more sought-after and successful sellers than their BBQ’s, the brothers reorganized their business into a burger restaurant. Their present menu since the refurbishing consisted of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, French fries, soft drinks, apple pies and milkshakes. It was quite a simple menu compared to their previous BBQ offering, but the very simplicity gave the business astounding success.

The ambitious Ray Kroc

Enter Ray Kroc into the picture. Kroc was a milkshake machine salesman who found out that the McDonald brothers had previously bought eight of his multi-mixer milkshake makers. Fueled by curiosity, he decided to visit McDonald’s San Bernardino restaurant where all of eight milkshake machines were installed. This was in 1954 when the brothers were enjoying their franchising success.

Kroc saw the immense potential of McDonald’s and had plans to expand it with more franchising throughout the country. Despite Mac and Dick’s initial refusal, Kroc still went out of his way with the right to open more McDonald’s branches throughout the country. When his first McDonald’s restaurant opened in Des Plaines, Illinois, Kroc integrated his company to McDonald’s in 1955. This is where the foundation of McDonald’s Corporation was established.

When McDonald’s phenomenal success started to kick off, Ray Kroc set bigger, farther sights. In 1961, the ambitious businessman bought the entire company from the brothers for a total of $2.7 million. He had the goal of making McDonald’s restaurants the country’s number one fast food chain. In 1963, the mascot Ronald McDonald was created and designed to attract the little ‘uns. McDonald’s went public in 1965.

With Kroc and his people’s innovative marketing ideas, adaptability to respond to the demand of their customers, new introductions and additions to their menu (such as their breakfast menus and the “Happy Meal”, which offers free toys for the kids with every purchase), McDonald’s grew more rapidly than ever. In 1968, the Big Mac was born and has remained the chain’s signature best-seller.

McDonald’s Today

Today, McDonald’s maintains over 34,000 restaurants around the world, serving up everything from Breakfast McMuffins to unique dishes like the McShrimp. One of the world’s truly global corporations, McDonald’s restaurants can be found in countries as far abroad as Indonesia and Egypt, where the company has a special halal menu.

This rapid expansion has earned the company both praise from business analysts and scorn from cultural preservationists, who claim that McDonald’s has pushed its way into countries that didn’t want it. The company’s ethics aside, its success as a global franchise is undeniable, and it is one of the 20th century’s biggest successes.

“All men are dogs is just a pun. But yeah, you can never call a women, a bitch” said by a fake feminist who considers herself an independent women with a tag of womanism. According to the Indian Constitution every human deserves equal treatment irrespective of cast, creed, nationality and obviously gender. And off course, this has been violated a lot of times.

Discrimination such as racist attacks, caste riots and killing in the name of religion and gender serves as an example. When the belief for equality is dishonored in any way, it breeds a dysfunctional society.

In the case of feminism, male bashing has replaced the replaced the real meaning of feminism. Originated from the French language, feminism means support of equal rights of the sexes. You cannot call yourself feminist while creating a battle between the sexes neither you can support feminism while fighting for a man’s rights.

Our society has been a patriarchal society. Denying it does no good. So the philosophy of feminism is often one that takes a defensive role for women, since women have historically gone undefended

But equal rights doesn’t go with right with male thumping. Equality for all sounds too good to be honest, especially those so-called activists don’t work for such an ideal.

These fake feminist should know that no movement can do good by slandering another group of society. If that is the motive behind a revolution, that movement leads towards downfall.

These approaches which are made such group of women is completely disturbing and misleading. There is a website named “IHateMen.org” has more than 300,000 members, but it hasn’t brought down the rates of sexual harassment cases or saved women from any kind of violence.

There are other worse issues where vigorous women can work upon rather than objectifying every possible men as a sexual predator or evil. The misleading information where feminism defines battle between sexes should be ignored. It is a battle against injustice which is being faced by about half the population.

Every walk to the park includes a trip to the pond where ducks swarm around the crumbs of bread that we throw to them. But what many people do not know, is that the bread can harm more than benefit these ducks.

Negative impacts:

• Bread is high in carbohydrates and has no major nutritional health value, so while ducks find it tasty, as they fill up on it, they eat less foods that can provide more health benefits
• As ducks swarm together, disease is more likely transmissible
• Bread leftovers that escape the ducks can cause algae blooms that reduce oxygen levels in water as well as attract pests

Alternatives:

• Fruits like grapes
• Vegetables like lettuce
• Grains – oats/cooked rice

In moderation, bread is unlikely to cause immediate harm to the ducks, but in the long run it is safer for the ducks and their environment to be given healthier alternatives.

So today we are going to talk many people must face this issue that comes in the vehicles of many people and people must have also faced this problem and have experienced this common issue,

and most of the mechanics charge a extra money for this.

So today's topic is that smoke comes out of our air vent  and people say that as soon as it is hot outside, then those people turn on ac vent, then smoke starts coming out of it. So it happens that  90% of the people who are like you and like me have 1st car then we feel that the gas is leaking of one or some other problem has happened in the xar. we have no idea do we feel like this. 

So you guys know this things that there is no relation of gas leaking with the smoke coming from the AC vent. If any mechanic tells you that your car’s AC vent gas is leaking then he is pulling you he wants money from you .So let me tell you its real issue that its real issue is with each this is directly related to heat so let me tell you the connection it has with the AC vent. If someone has studied physics then he will understand it quickly if you have not read and then I will explain.

It happens that whenever any cold things comes in contact with heat, then vapours are formed on it let’s assume if I mean ice the ice chamber that resides in the refrigerator and if we open the refrigerator then smoke comes out of it so it does not mean that the gas starts leaking from the refrigerator so it happens that it is hot outside and the temperature remains cold in the refrigerator so as soon as we open it , steam start coming out of it’s like smoke .

So the same incident also applies with our vehicle it happens that in the vehicle which is the pipe of our heater the conductor side which is the heater pipe and is the AC vent pipe and when we start AC than that vent pipe is very cold then 7 to 6 degree temperature and there is always coolant flow in heater pipe meaning it is getting very hot so it happens that if coolant comes in the contact of the coil due to speech then vapours are formed there.

Next you will go to the mechanic and they will say that so you are ve girls gases delete and the Baldwinsville have to fill and he makes your food many you don’t not have to get caught in this thing,
so the first doubt that you should go over the coolant then how will your doubt of cooling will clear how how would you know if the colour of the coolant is different in each vehicle.
in the dash board of your car there you will find different types of water like running blue to becomes green or red in colour then understand that your vehicle is overheat.

and at the same time be same coolant is coming out of your AC went as a steam and the second is when there is hot air inside and start forming steam so smoke starts coming out of the vent and you will fill that there is some problem in my vehicle 

So don’t worry it’s normal

It is smoke comes out from the vent of your vehicle then you will automatically know that the light with your coolant will start burning ,or it is getting overheated then you just have to get the heater pipe checked there is no problem in AC vent.
