The U.S. economy lost 140,000 jobs in December as it continued to be battered by the worsening coronavirus crisis.
The Labor Department reported Friday the December jobless rate remained unchanged from the previous month at 6.7%, despite labor market weakness.
December was the first time in eight months the economy shed jobs, a reversal from the 336,000 new jobs added in November.

Friday’s report reflects employers’ need to make deep job cuts in the hospitality and leisure sectors, which were especially hard hit by coronavirus lockdown measures as COVID-19 infections in the U.S. continued to set new daily records, forcing them to close their businesses again.
The report also shows that more workers lost their jobs in 2020 than in any year since 1939 when the government began tracking unemployment.
The pandemic and related containment measures triggered 22 million job cuts in March and April, while only 12 million new jobs have been added since then.
Faster hiring of people who were laid off during the pandemic-induced recession that began in February would improve the employment picture. But with record numbers of Americans currently being infected and hospitalized, there is no sign of that happening.

Winter’s arrival could also discourage spending and job creation, particularly in the restaurant and other sectors that have begun to rely more on business outdoors.
Economists say the economy is unlikely to reenter a recession, due to the government’s passage last week of a second coronavirus relief package valued at nearly $900 billion.
President-elect Joe Biden, who Congress formally certified Thursday as the winner of the November 3 presidential election, hours after mobs supportive of President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol, promised another round of relief in the form of $2,000 stimulus checks if Democrats won two runoff Senate elections in the state of Georgia on Tuesday.

Obesity Promotes The Growth of Alzheimer's Disease, Says Study

Being overweight is an additional burden on brain health and it may exacerbate Alzheimer’s disease, a new study suggests.
The study revealed that obesity may contribute toward neural tissue vulnerability while maintaining a healthy weight in mild Alzheimer’s disease dementia could help to preserve brain structure.
“More than 50 million people are thought to be living with Alzheimer’s disease and despite decades of groundbreaking studies and a huge global research effort we still don’t have a cure for this cruel disease,” said lead researcher Annalena Venneri, Professor at the University of Sheffield in the UK.

For the study, the team examined MRI brain scans of 47 patients clinically diagnosed with mild Alzheimer’s disease dementia, 68 patients with mild cognitive impairment, and 57 cognitively healthy individuals.
The study, published in The Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease Reports, used three complementary, computational techniques to look at the anatomy of the brain, blood flow and also the fibres of the brain.
The international team compared multiple brain images and measured differences in local concentrations of brain tissues to assess grey matter volume — which degenerates during the onset of Alzheimers — white matter integrity, cerebral blood flow and obesity.
In mild dementia patients, a positive association was found between obesity and grey matter volume around the right temporoparietal junction. This suggests obesity might contribute toward neural vulnerability in cognitively healthy individuals and those with mild cognitive impairment.
The study also found that maintaining a healthy weight in mild Alzheimer’s disease dementia could help preserve brain structure in the presence of age and disease-related weight loss.

“We found that maintaining a healthy weight could help preserve brain structure in people who are already experiencing mild Alzheimer’s disease dementia. Unlike other diseases such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes, people don’t often think about the importance of nutrition in relation to neurological conditions, but these findings show it can help to preserve brain structure,” researcher Matteo De Marco from the varsity said.

Domestic Funds See Outflows After 5 Years
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com

Domestic institutional investors (DIIs) recorded their first outflows in 2020 after five years of inflows. This is at odds with bulge bracket FIIs powering the indices to fresh highs virtually daily, as on Monday the BSE Sensex powered to a new peak crossing 49,000.
According to a report by Motilal Oswal Institutional Equities, in the calendar year 2020, while FIIs inflows were at a record high, outflows by DIIs were at fresh highs too. FII inflows for CY20 were strong at $23.4 billion – the highest since CY12. However, DIIs recorded their first outflows (-$4.9 billion) after five years of inflows.

In CY20, mid-caps were up 22 percent. Over the last five years, the mid-cap index has underperformed the Nifty by 20 percent. All sectors, except PSU Banks (-20 percent) and Oil (-4), closed in the green. Healthcare (+61), Technology (+57), and Cement (+27) were the top performers.
Divis’ Labs (+108 percent), Dr. Reddy’s Labs (+81), Infosys (+72), Cipla (+71), and HCL Tech (+66) were the best performers in the Nifty. IndusInd Bank (-41), Coal India (-36), IOCL (-28), ONGC (-28), and BPCL (-22) were the key laggards.

Despite the COVID-related challenges, the Nifty has ended CY20 with a 15 percent return. An 80 percent reduction in active COVID-19 cases since September 2020, strong corporate earnings in September, which resulted in upgrades, and faster than anticipated economic and demand recovery, along with supportive liquidity and interest rate backdrop, have provided the necessary triggers.
“As vaccination in India commences from January 16, 2021, we expect the demand recovery to gather pace. We also expect the government to prioritize growth in its forthcoming Budget. After the sharp rally in the preceding three months, it is now important for corporate earnings to match expectations,” the report said.

Here's How COVID Vaccines Have Opened Way For Cancer, Other Disease Treatments
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com

The new tools scientists are deploying to fight the COVID-19 pandemic may soon go to work against cancer, autoimmune diseases, and other illnesses.
The vaccines from drug companies Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech use a new way to train the body’s immune system to respond to infection.
They are testing the same techniques to recruit the immune system to attack tumors. And when immune system attacks go wrong, as in multiple sclerosis or other autoimmune diseases, the same tools may be able to call them off.
Please Follow NewsGram on Facebook To Get Latest Updates!
The active ingredient in vaccines from drug companies Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech is called mRNA. These mRNA vaccines for various ailments have been under development for several years, but the COVID-19 vaccines are the first to make it into widespread use.
“Certainly the COVID epidemic has sped that up,” said Drew Weissman, a professor of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, “and has really shown the world what RNA vaccines are and what they can do.”
Carriers of genetic instructions
RNA is similar to DNA, the chemical that stores our genes. The “m” in mRNA stands for messenger. DNA stores our genetic blueprints, while mRNA carries a copy of those blueprints to the molecular factories where cell parts are built.
In the coronavirus vaccines, the mRNA carries instructions for building a piece of the virus. The patient’s body builds that virus piece, which primes the immune system to respond if the real virus should come along.
That’s a major change from how vaccines traditionally have worked. Most vaccines contain an actual piece of the virus or a killed or weakened version of the virus itself.
Producing traditional vaccines has meant growing large quantities of the virus or its parts in finicky living systems such as chicken eggs or vats of cells, and then purifying it to produce a safe product.
The mRNA vaccines are much faster and easier to produce. RNA is simply a string of molecules that can be assembled by a laboratory instrument. That’s one reason the coronavirus mRNA vaccines were produced so quickly.
Custom tumor treatment
That’s also why scientists see promise in mRNA vaccines for cancer. While existing drugs target just a few specific mutations commonly found in cancer cells, mRNA vaccines can be customized to an individual patient’s tumor.
Each tumor has a unique array of mutations. In melanoma, for example, exposure to sunlight damages DNA in random places throughout the genes of a patient’s skin cells. Some of those mutations are what turns the cell cancerous.
But since these mutations are found only in the cancerous cells, they provide a target for the immune system to attack without harming the patient’s healthy cells.
The first, early-stage clinical trial of an mRNA cancer vaccine was published in 2017 in the journal Nature. Researchers from BioNTech and colleagues took tumors removed from 13 patients with melanoma. They read the entire genomes of the cancer cells and identified 10 mutations in each tumor. The researchers gave each patient a unique mRNA vaccine based on the mutations in their own tumors.
Eight of those patients were still tumor-free when scientists checked up on them again a year or two later — an unexpectedly high rate of remission. One patient’s tumor returned, but went into remission when given another drug.
A larger study is needed before the treatment could go on the market. And the results would need to hold up in a larger study before the treatment could go on the market.
But Weissman, who was not involved with the study, called them “pretty fantastic results.”
Other companies are pursuing mRNA cancer vaccines, too, including Moderna, the other mRNA COVID-19 vaccine maker.
Peacemakers
While these treatments prime the immune system to attack, others are developing vaccines that will trigger a retreat.
In multiple sclerosis, patients’ immune systems attack the myelin sheath surrounding their nerve fibers. The disease can cause muscle weakness, vision problems and other debilitating symptoms.
Treating MS can involve wholesale suppression of the immune system, raising the patient’s risk of infections.
In addition to its attackers, the immune system has a set of cells that tamp down their action. It’s these cells that researchers targeted in a recent study in the journal Science.
They developed an mRNA vaccine that primes these peacemakers to quiet the immune cells going after myelin.
The vaccine blocked all symptoms in laboratory mice, and it halted progression of the disease in mice already showing symptoms.
“Until you can get it into people, we won’t know for sure” how well it works, Weissman cautioned. “But I think it has fantastic potential.”

Weissman and his colleagues are working on mRNA vaccines to treat allergies. He has another in development against sickle cell anemia.
While the COVID-19 vaccines may be the first to market, they could be just the tip of the iceberg for RNA therapies. (IANS)

Researchers from BioNTech and colleagues took tumors removed from 13 patients with melanoma. They read the entire genomes of the cancer cells and identified 10 mutations in each tumor. The researchers gave each patient a unique mRNA vaccine based on the mutations in their own tumors.\nEight of those patients were still tumor-free when scientists checked up on them again a year or two later — an unexpectedly high rate of remission. One patient’s tumor returned, but went into remission when given another drug.\nA larger study is needed before the treatment could go on the market. And the results would need to hold up in a larger study before the treatment could go on the market.\nBut Weissman, who was not involved with the study, called them “pretty fantastic results.”\nOther companies are pursuing mRNA cancer vaccines, too, including Moderna, the other mRNA COVID-19 vaccine maker.\nPeacemakers\nWhile these treatments prime the immune system to attack, others are developing vaccines that will trigger a retreat.\nIn multiple sclerosis, patients’ immune systems attack the myelin sheath surrounding their nerve fibers. The disease can cause muscle weakness, vision problems and other debilitating symptoms.\nTreating MS can involve wholesale suppression of the immune system, raising the patient’s risk of infections.\nIn addition to its attackers, the immune system has a set of cells that tamp down their action. It’s these cells that researchers targeted in a recent study in the journal Science.\nThey developed an mRNA vaccine that primes these peacemakers to quiet the immune cells going after myelin.\nThe vaccine blocked all symptoms in laboratory mice, and it halted progression of the disease in mice already showing symptoms.\n“Until you can get it into people, we won’t know for sure” how well it works, Weissman cautioned. “But I think it has fantastic potential.”\nALSO READ: 55% Millennials Say WFH Has Increased The Time Spent On Email\nWeissman and his colleagues are working on mRNA vaccines to treat allergies. He has another in development against sickle cell anemia.\nWhile the COVID-19 vaccines may be the first to market, they could be just the tip of the iceberg for RNA therapies. (IANS)",

Almost 55 percent of millennials in India feel that their time spent on work email has increased by more than two hours since they started working from home, finds a new survey.
The survey conducted by Hiver, a Gmail-based customer service solution for teams, highlights that as many as 60 percent of millennials believe that long email interactions hamper productivity while working from home. It revealed that 57 percent of millennials feel the need to constantly check their work email every few hours since working remotely.
Follow NewsGram on LinkedIn to know what’s happening around the world.
More than half (52 percent) of the millennials surveyed said they now check their email as soon it lands in their inbox, which is up by 10 percent from before WFH began. The survey also found that over 56 percent of millennials continuously aim to hit ‘Inbox Zero’ – which is a rigorous approach to email management aimed at keeping the inbox empty, or almost empty, at all times.

When asked about their preferred collaboration tool to connect with colleagues while working from home, 67 percent of millennials chose a mix of chat platforms and video conferencing tools (Zoom, Google e-meet, MS Teams, Slack, etc), 25 percent mentioned WhatsApp, and 8 percent preferred emails.
Commenting on the survey, Niraj Ranjan Rout, CEO, and Co-founder of Hiver said: “As the threat of the pandemic continues, work from home has become a norm. Even as organizations have adopted virtual collaboration tools to make teamwork effective, email continues to drive maximum connections within organizations and externally as well. With automation and integration of advanced technology, Hiver is working towards redefining email management and helping teams stay productive.” (IANS)

High Omega-3 Levels Reduce The Death Risk In Covid

People with higher omega-3 levels in their blood may have a reduced risk of death from Covid-19 infection, a new study suggests.
The findings, published in the journal Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty Acids, indicated that the relative risk of death was about four times higher in those with a lower omega-3 Index (O3I) compared to those with higher levels.
Follow NewsGram on Facebook to stay updated.
According to the researchers, an excessive inflammatory response referred to as a ‘cytokine storm,’ is a fundamental mediator of severe Covid-19 illness.
Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) have potent anti-inflammatory activities, and this pilot study provides suggestive evidence that these fatty acids may dampen Covid-19’s cytokine storm, the researchers said.
“While not meeting standard statistical significance thresholds, this pilot study — along with multiple lines of evidence regarding the anti-inflammatory effects of EPA and DHA — strongly suggests that these nutritionally available marine fatty acids may help reduce the risk for adverse outcomes in Covid-19 patients,” said lead author Arash Asher, from Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in the US.
For the study, the team included 100 patients admitted to the hospital with Covid-19 for whom admission blood samples had been stored.
Clinical outcomes for these patients were obtained and blood was analyzed for the Omega-3 Index (O3I, red blood cell membrane EPA+DHA levels) at OmegaQuant Analytics (Sioux Falls, SD). Fourteen of the patients died.

The 100 patients were grouped into four quartiles according to their O3I, with 25 percent of the patients in each quartile. There was one death in the top quartile, with 13 deaths in the remaining patients.
In age-and-sex adjusted regression analyses, those in the highest quartile were 75 percent less likely to die compared with those in the lower three quartiles. (IANS)

Adolescents Using Cannabis Likely To Experience A Decline In Intelligence Quotient

Adolescents who frequently use cannabis may experience a decline in Intelligence Quotient (IQ) over time, a new study suggests. The findings, published in the journal Psychological Medicine, revealed that there were declines of approximately 2 IQ points over time in those who use cannabis frequently compared to those who didn’t use cannabis.
Further analysis suggested that this decline in IQ points was primarily related to a reduction in verbal IQ.

“Cannabis use during youth is of great concern as the developing brain may be particularly susceptible to harm during this period,” said researcher Emmet Power from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI).
“The findings of this study help us to further understand this important public health issue,” Power added.
For the study, the team involved a systematic review and statistical analysis on seven longitudinal studies involving 808 young people who used cannabis at least weekly for a minimum of 6 months and 5308 young people who did not use cannabis. In order to be included in the analysis, each study had to have a baseline IQ score prior to starting cannabis use and another IQ score at follow-up. The young people were followed up until age 18 on average although one study followed the young people until age 38.

“Previous research tells us that young people who use cannabis frequently have worse outcomes in life than their peers and are at increased risk for serious mental illnesses like schizophrenia,” said researcher Mary Cannon, Professor at RCSI.
“Loss of IQ points early in life could have significant effects on performance in school and college and later employment prospects,” Cannon added. (IANS)

Microsoft will shut down its Minecraft Earth mobile game on June 30 that was was designed around free movement and collaborative play — two things that have become near impossible in the current Covid-19 pandemic.
The game took on Pokemon Go and covered the world in virtual blocks for players to meet and play together.
Follow NewsGram on Instagram to keep yourself updated.
“We have made the difficult decision to re-allocate our resources to other areas that provide value to the Minecraft community and to end support for Minecraft Earth in June 2021,” the Minecraft team said in a statement on Tuesday.
“On June 30, we will discontinue all content and service support for the game”.
After the date, the players will be unable to download or play Minecraft Earth anymore.
“On July 1, we will delete any Minecraft Earth player data unrelated to Character Creator and Minecoin entitlements,” the company said.
Microsoft first unveiled Minecraft Earth in May 2019.

“All players with paid ruby balances will be granted Minecoins, which you can use on the Minecraft Marketplace to purchase skin and texture packs, maps, and even minigames,” the team informed.
If you’ve ever made a purchase in Minecraft Earth, you will receive a free copy of Minecraft (the Bedrock version) so you can get a fresh start while grabbing some goodies from the Marketplace.

Need For Higher Public Spending on Accessible and Affordable Healthcare in India
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com

The Union Finance Ministry on Friday pressed on the need for higher public spending on healthcare, its accessibility and affordability.
As health is a state subject in India, spending on healthcare by the states matters the most when examining government healthcare spendings, according to the Economic Survey 2020-21, which was presented in the Parliament on Friday by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. According to the National Health Accounts, 2017, 66 per cent of spending on healthcare is done by the states.
In terms of healthcare budget, India ranks 179 out of 189 countries in prioritisation accorded to health in its government budgets. This is similar to donor-dependent countries such as Haiti and Sudan.
“The states that have higher per capita spending have lower out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditure, which also holds true at the global level. Hence, there is a need for higher public spending on healthcare to reduce OOP expenditure,” the survey stated.

The survey also suggested that an increase in public spending from 1 per cent to 2.5 to 3 per cent of GDP can decrease OOP expenditures from 65 per cent to 30 per cent of overall healthcare spend. From a financial perspective, India has one of the highest levels of OOP expenditure in the world, contributing directly to the high incidence of catastrophic expenditures and poverty.
“In fact, at small levels of public spending — less than 3 per cent of GDP — even marginal increases in public spending generate substantial bang for the buck in reducing OOP expenditure,” the survey said.
It further highlighted that the recent coronavirus pandemic has emphasised the importance of healthcare and considering the same and in striving to achieve the target of Universal Healthcare Coverage, India must take steps to improve healthcare accessibility and affordability in the country.
The survey suggested that India’s healthcare policy must continue focusing on its long-term priorities. At the same time, to enable India to respond to pandemics, the health infrastructure must be agile.
Alluding to the role of technology-enabled platforms as an alternate distribution channel for remote delivery of healthcare services during the pandemic, it said, “Given India’s unique last-mile challenges, such technology-enabled solutions need to be harnessed to the fullest.”
The survey pressed that both the Central and state governments need to invest in telemedicine on a mission mode to complement the government’s digital health mission and thereby enable greater access to the masses.

Next, it has been stressed that the National Health Mission (NHM) must continue as it played a crucial role in mitigating inequity and gave access to the poorest to pre-natal and post-natal care and institutional deliveries.
Besides this, the survey mentioned that it is critical for the policymakers to mitigate information asymmetry in healthcare, which creates market failures and thereby renders unregulated private healthcare sub-optimal as a bulk of the healthcare in India is provided by the private sector. (IANS)

What is The Difference Between Srimad Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam? Answered!
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com
|
It becomes very essential to understand and become aware of our rich cultural heritage. This also includes the knowledge about our Hindu Vedic texts and Hindu Scriptures. There are many confusions regarding certain Hindu Literary Texts, one big confusion is about the difference between the pious Srimad Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam. People often consider Srimad Bhagavatam the same as Srimad Bhagavad Gita. My dear friends, it is not!
The Srimad Bhagavad Gita is a 700-verse Hindu scripture that is the sixth book of Mahabharata, one of India’s most famous epic poems, whereas, The Srimad Bhagavatam is popularly known as Bhāgavata Purāṇa, which is one of the 18 Puranas in Hinduism!
The Srimad Bhagavad Gita
The Srimad Bhagavad Gita often referred to as “the song of Lord” is the most important part of the great Indian Hindu Epic “Mahabharata”. It is the part of the sixth part of the Mahabharata called ‘Bhisma Parva’. The Pious holy book consists of 18 small chapters and has around 700 verses, and is also among the most important religious texts in Hinduism. The Gita teaches the Yoga of Synthesis. It ranks high in the religious works of literature in the world.
The Bhagavad Gita is a discourse between the divine Lord Krishna and the mighty warrior Prince Arjuna. Lord Krishna serves as a charioteer for Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra as Arjuna gets into a state of war with his own cousins.
When Arjuna saw his former friends, comrades, and his own family members towards his opposing side on the battlefield, he lost his confidence and refused to take part in the battle which he thought would result in the death of his own family. Then, Lord Shri Krishna guided Arjuna on what constitutes the right action, proper understanding, and ultimately, the meaning of life and nature of the divine. He convinced Arjuna that it was his duty to fight against the wrong (adharma) regardless of the consequences. This instilled a lot of confidence in Arjuna and cleared all his doubts. Consequently, he was able to achieve victory in the war!
The Srimad Bhagavad Gita combines the concepts that are expressed in the central major texts of Hindu Dharma- The Vedas and The Upnishads, which here incorporated into a single vision of credence in the existence of one universal creator and the unification of all existences together! This pious book instructs a human being to look beyond all illusions by getting the soul and the mind in tune with each other.
The Pious Srimad Bhagavad Gita gives an individual a “Way of Living” and it must also be looked upon as its identity of being just a Religious text when rather, it gives all human beings a purpose to live to the fullest, undefeated!
The Srimad Bhagavatam
The Srimad Bhagavatam is also known as Bhagavata Puran is the 5th major Purana amongst 18 different Puranas in Hinduism. It is considered to be the essence of all the Vedas. Srimad Bhagavatam contains 18,000 verses in 335 chapters and consists of 12 subdivisions of books. These 12 books together tell the complete history of the Vedic culture, as well as stories of Lord Krishna and his incarnations.
As it begins, the forces of evil have won a war between the benevolent devas (deities) and evil asuras (demons) and wish to rule the universe. Truth re-emerges as Lord Shri Krishna, (called “Hari” and “Vāsudeva” in the text) first makes peace with the demons, understands them, and then creatively and intelligently defeats them, bringing back hope, justice, freedom, and happiness in the universe.
The Bhagavata Purana, like other Puranas, also discusses a wide range of topics including cosmology, astronomy, genealogy, geography legend, music, dance, yoga, and culture. The Bhagavata Purana is a revered text in Vaishnavism, a Hindu tradition that reveres Lord Vishnu. The text presents a form of dharma that competes with that of the Vedas, wherein devotion (bhakti) ultimately leads to self-knowledge, salvation (moksha), and bliss.
The text consists of twelve books (skandhas) totaling 332 chapters (adhyayas) and between 16,000 and 18,000 verses depending on the recension. Similar to the other Puranas, the Srimad Bhagavatham is written by Sage Vyasa. Sage Shuka, who was Vyasa’s son, recited the Bhagavatam to King Parikshit who was cursed to die in 7 days, by Sage Shrungi.

Of the innumerable collections of spiritual teachings found in Vedic literature, Srimad-Bhagavatam is considered the topmost!
Note: Always believe in the greatness of Sanatan Dharma, which gave the world a purpose of life, do not forget to chant the glories of the Lord who is the supreme creator and protector of all existences. If one cannot read, one must always respect and try to understand the essence of the great Vedas and Puranas to grasp the ultimate realities of life!
Hari Bol!

Rajpal Yadav Responds On Being Called Comedian And Not An Actor
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com

Rajpal Yadav is popular for his rib-tickling brand of comedy. Oneliners in numerous hits and memorable funny characters such as the eccentric Chhota Pandit in Bhool Bhulaiyaa, the not-so-scary Chhota Don in Partner, and the overly inquisitive Laxman in Waqt: The Race Against Time are among many that come to mind when you think of the talented actor.
Follow NewsGram on Twitter to keep yourself updated.
Yet, Yadav tells you he often feels pigeonholed in his super successful image of a comedian, even though the image actually let him headline films such as Main Meri Patni Aur Woh and Kushti.
In a candid chat with IANS, Rajpal, who has also done leading roles in serious films such as Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon, Ladies Tailor, Hello! Hum Lallan Bol Rahe Hain, and Mirch, said he hopes to surprise fans in the future.
“If I am known as a comedian or I get to be known as one, it is because of one of two reasons — either you have not tried or you have accepted it. If I get to be known — I can’t say right now because I am in the middle of the road — it will be decided after 20 years on how I should be known because I myself don’t know how much work there would be or how many speed breakers will come, how many stones I get and how many flowers I will get,” he said.
The 49-year-old actor, who got noticed through his portrayal of a quirky, violent criminal in Ram Gopal Varma’s 2000 release Jungle, said that he can only hope to be known through hard work.

“If Rajpal Yadav will be known by a name the reason behind it will only be Rajpal Yadav and no one else. If I do comedy, I will be known as a comedian. When I did ‘Main Meri Patni Aur Woh’ and ‘Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon’, I got Best Actor nominations too,” he said.
Rajpal says everything just boils down to the caliber of a person.
“If you have capabilities then the audience will accept you with an open gate. The way you would show them your identity, they will accept you. But you should have the honesty to show your true identity. So, I will try that over the next 10 years. I will do films that will satisfy me and surprise the audience into saying, ‘look where Rajpal started from and where has he reached today’,” he signed off. (IANS)

Rise In Obesity Rates Due To Brain Pressure Disorder
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com
|
A brain pressure disorder called idiopathic intracranial hypertension is on the rise, and the increase corresponds with rising obesity rates, a new study suggests.
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is when the pressure in the fluid surrounding the brain rises. It can mimic the symptoms of a brain tumour, causing chronic, disabling headaches, vision problems and in rare cases, vision loss. It is most often diagnosed in women of childbearing age. Treatment is often weight loss and in some cases, surgery may be required.
Follow NewsGram on Facebook to stay updated.
“The considerable increase in idiopathic intracranial hypertension we found may be due to many factors but likely mostly due to rising obesity rates,” said researcher William Owen Pickrell from Swansea University in the UK.
For the study, published in the journal Neurology, the researchers used a national healthcare database to analyze 35 million patient years of data over a 15-year period, between 2003 and 2017 in Wales.
They identified 1,765 people with idiopathic intracranial hypertension during that time. Of the group, 85 per cent were women.
The team recorded body mass index measurements for study participants. Body mass index is calculated by dividing weight by height. For every one person with the disorder, researchers compared three people without it who were matched for gender, age and socioeconomic status.
The socioeconomic status of each person with the disorder was determined by where they live, using a national scoring system that considers factors like income, employment, health, education and access to services.
People in the study were then divided into five groups ranging from those with the fewest socioeconomic advantages to those with the most.

Overall, researchers found a six-fold increase in the number of cases of the disorder over the course of the study. In 2003, for every 100,000 people, 12 were living with the disorder, compared to 76 people in 2017. Also, in 2013, for every 100,000 people, two were diagnosed during that year, compared to eight people in 2017.

"A brain pressure disorder called idiopathic intracranial hypertension is on the rise, and the increase corresponds with rising obesity rates, a new study suggests.\nIdiopathic intracranial hypertension is when the pressure in the fluid surrounding the brain rises. It can mimic the symptoms of a brain tumour, causing chronic, disabling headaches, vision problems and in rare cases, vision loss. It is most often diagnosed in women of childbearing age. Treatment is often weight loss and in some cases, surgery may be required.\nFollow NewsGram on Facebook to stay updated.\n“The considerable increase in idiopathic intracranial hypertension we found may be due to many factors but likely mostly due to rising obesity rates,” said researcher William Owen Pickrell from Swansea University in the UK.\nFor the study, published in the journal Neurology, the researchers used a national healthcare database to analyze 35 million patient years of data over a 15-year period, between 2003 and 2017 in Wales.\nThey identified 1,765 people with idiopathic intracranial hypertension during that time. Of the group, 85 per cent were women.\nThe team recorded body mass index measurements for study participants. Body mass index is calculated by dividing weight by height. For every one person with the disorder, researchers compared three people without it who were matched for gender, age and socioeconomic status.\nThe socioeconomic status of each person with the disorder was determined by where they live, using a national scoring system that considers factors like income, employment, health, education and access to services.\nPeople in the study were then divided into five groups ranging from those with the fewest socioeconomic advantages to those with the most.\nALSO READ: Covid-19 Vaccines Less Effective For People Suffering From Obesity\nOverall, researchers found a six-fold increase in the number of cases of the disorder over the course of the study. In 2003, for every 100,000 people, 12 were living with the disorder, compared to 76 people in 2017. Also, in 2013, for every 100,000 people, two were diagnosed during that year, compared to eight people in 2017.\nThe team found that the increasing number of people living with the disorder corresponded to rising obesity rates during the study, with 29 per cent of the population being obese in 2003 compared to 40 per cent in 2017.

An online exhibition on the theme of mothers and sentiments associated with the springs from the loss of curator Anu Jindal’s mother a year ago. Jindal has brought together artists from different countries including India, Germany, Canada, Japan, and South Korea. Titled “Urmila — Enchanted Mother”, the virtual exhibition of works runs from January 4-17 on the website of India International Centre.
Adversity encourages innovation; pain draws out hitherto untapped emotions. Humanity today is in the stranglehold of the Covid-19 pandemic. Physically forced into insular lives, virtual connections have intensified. Thus struck, creativity continues unabated donning new avatars, writes the curator.

“This exhibition’s theme sprung from the loss of my mother a year ago, artworks of ten artists from around the globe are in varied genre and media,” states Jindal. German artist Nils-Udo’s site-specific installations celebrate nature by “drawing with flowers, painting with clouds, writing with water”. In urban spaces or the deep womb of forests, he conjures up a wishful habitat, unblemished by humans.
Himmat Shah follows his maxim “do or die” in a fiery, unquenched quest. Wondrous as a child’s birth, creations originate from humble clay — his ultimate material. Rameshwar Broota’s Magna canvases hide and reveal mysteries of life. In recent experiments with glass and resin, the interplay of altering light conveys musings on birth, growth, the cycle of life. Canada’s Hildegard Westerkamp’s soundscape compositions weave a magical world — a stimulating sound-sensorial experience.

Crop Growth Can Be Improved By Using Fermented Food
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com

Fermented food waste can boost bacteria that increase crop growth, making plants more resistant to pathogens and reducing carbon emissions from farming, a new study suggests.
According to the researchers, including Deborah Pagliaccia from the University of California, Riverside, in the US, food waste poses a serious threat to the planet.

“Beneficial microbes increased dramatically when we added fermented food waste to plant growing systems,” said Pagliaccia, who led the study.
“When there are enough of these good bacteria, they produce antimicrobial compounds and metabolites that help plants grow better and faster,” Pagliaccia added.
The waste represents not only an economic loss, but a significant waste of freshwater resources used to produce food, and a misuse of what could otherwise feed millions of low-income people who struggle with food security.
For the study, published in the journal Frontier in Sustainable Food Systems, the team looked for alternative uses for food waste.
They examined the byproducts from two kinds of waste that are readily available in Southern California: beer mash — a byproduct of beer production — and mixed food waste discarded by grocery stores.
Both types of waste were fermented and then added to the irrigation system watering citrus plants in a greenhouse.
Within 24 hours, the average population of beneficial bacteria was two to three orders of magnitude greater than in plants that did not receive the treatments, and this trend continued each time the researchers added treatments.

The researchers then studied nutrients such as carbon and nitrogen in the soil of the treated crops. And, it showed a spike in the amount of carbon after each waste product treatment, followed by a plateau, suggesting the beneficial bacteria used the available carbon to replicate.
Since the plants in this experiment were grown in a greenhouse, the benefits of the waste products were preserved within a closed watering system. The plant roots received a fresh dose of the treatment each time they were watered, the researchers said. (IANS)

Space Junk: What is it and Who Owns it?
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com

You may think that space is just a void – an unimaginably large, empty space stretching out forever. However, while that may be true to a certain extent, it’s definitely not the case a little closer to home.
Orbiting our earth are thousands of pieces of debris – space junk. This includes everything from rocket parts to disused satellites, and there’s more up there than you might first think.
What is Space Junk?
Space junk is essentially man-made debris and objects which have been left to orbit the earth for a variety of reasons. This could be due to a malfunction, fragmentation, or simply just abandonment.
It might not seem like that much of a big deal, but large or fast-moving objects have the potential to inflict damage on operational satellites and even spacecraft. It’s important that we are aware of the risks space junk can pose and understand who owns all these orbiting objects.
But why is all this space junk up there cluttering the skies around Earth?
The simple answer is that it’s just not that easy to remove it. Some space junk will re-enter the atmosphere and burn up, while other pieces may collide and break down into smaller components. However, much will continue orbiting the earth for many years.
With satellites, in particular, the UN has requested that they be removed from orbit within a maximum of 25 years following mission end. While this sounds good in principle, the practicalities of enforcing this as well as the costs and difficulties associated with complying mean that it does not always happen.
Who Owns Space Junk?
Using data from Space Track, RS Components has been able to analyze this space junk – both decayed debris and objects currently in orbit. The data allows researchers to see which countries own what and paint a fuller picture of the amount of man-made debris orbiting our planet.
There are over 12,000 man-made objects in orbit around the Earth, plus a further 17,000 pieces of decayed man-made debris. That’s a staggering figure, but when you consider that just three countries are responsible for 93% of space junk, it’s even more surprising.
The US currently has the largest amount of debris in orbit, with a total of 4171 pieces of space junk. They are closely followed by the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) which has 4068. Closing the top three is China, with 3550 pieces of space junk in orbit.
On the other end of the scale, countries including the UK, Germany, North Korea, and Argentina all have less than five pieces of debris in orbit.

Space junk is an important problem, yet many people are simply unaware of its scale. Space is undoubtedly mysterious, and it holds many secrets we have yet to unlock, but who would have thought that so many man-made objects are still out there silently orbiting the earth?

Intranasal Coronavirus Vaccines Can Be a Potential Gamechanger in 'India Fights Corona' Campaign: Experts
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com
|
Public health experts believe that intranasal vaccines for coronavirus, administered through nose rather than muscles, can be a potential gamechanger in India’s fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
The nasal vaccine is different from two intramuscular vaccines which recently got approval, as it is non-invasive, needle-free, doesn’t require trained healthcare workers, eliminates needle-associated risks, suits children and adults, and has scalable manufacturing.
Several studies have proved that the clinical efficacy of the intranasal vaccine is superior to that of the injectable vaccine. In India, Hyderabad-based Bharat Biotech has sought Drugs Controller General of India’s (DCGI) approval to conduct clinical trials of its nasal vaccine for coronavirus.
Please Follow NewsGram on Facebook To Get Latest Updates!
Last month, Pune-based Serum Insititute of India and Codagenix Inc had announced that they have received regulatory approval in the United Kingdom to begin an early-stage trial of their single-dose, intranasal coronavirus vaccine.
“At the moment, four vaccines are undergoing phase 1 and 2 of nasal vaccine trials in the world. It can be a gamechanger but it all depends on whether it is safe and effective,” said Lalit Kant, former head of epidemiology and infectious diseases at the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
Alluding to the advantages of the nasal vaccine, he said its administration does not require syringes, and it is easy to administer, transport and store. “You can immunise a larger number of people in a small amount of time. There would be no need for people to come back for a second dosage,” the noted epidemiologist said.
“It is a live attenuated vaccine. When you give it through the nose, there is the mucous membrane in the upper throat, where it gets absorbed and is able to develop the antibodies. Since it enters the mucous member directly, the absorption is faster,” Kant said.
According to Bharat Biotech, an intranasal vaccine stimulates a broad immune response at the site of infection, in the nasal mucosa, which is essential for blocking both infection and transmission of Covid-19. “Intranasal immunisation of can create an immune response in the nose, which is the point of entry for the virus-thereby protecting against disease, infection, and transmission,” the firm said in a statement.
Anish Sinha, Associate Professor at the Indian Institute of Public Health, said that intranasal vaccine can be a gamechanger, particularly in countries that have logistical issues. “The ease of administration will be the biggest advantage. It can be utilized in larger numbers with lesser operational challenges,” he added.

Singer Daler Mehndi has been in the music industry for over two decades now and he says he has seen the industry in all its hues of eccentricity.
“In so many years, I have seen the industry go mad. They have been trying just about anything, making any kind of songs and remixes. Female voices such as Lata Mangeshkar, Shreya Ghoshal and Sunidhi Chauhan are such beautiful voices. But after that such voices started come in — females singing in a ma’e’s voice and males singing in a fema’e’s voice. No head or tail of a song — that is the trut”,” Daler told IANS.

Avian influenza Is Heat Liable And Gets Killed When Subjected To Heat

Contrary to what some people think that the bird flu virus, also known as Avian influenza, is spread to humans via consumption of cooked poultry products, health experts on Sunday stressed that it usually does not infect people as the virus is heat-labile (degraded and killed when subjected to heat).
Avian influenza refers to the disease caused by infection with avian (bird) influenza (flu) Type A viruses. These viruses occur naturally among wild aquatic birds worldwide and can infect domestic poultry and other bird and animal species.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cooking poultry (e.g. chicken, ducks, and geese) at or above 70 degrees Celsius so that absolutely no meat remains raw and red, is a safe measure to kill the virus in areas with outbreaks in poultry. Richa Sareen, consultant (pulmonology) at Fortis Vasant Kunj in New Delhi, said the virus is heat-labile and it gets killed with cooking temperatures.
“At this time, people should eat fully cooked chicken and eggs and not raw or partially cooked ones. One should avoid going to open markets that sell poultry as they are the focal point of the spread,” Sareen told IANS. “People who handle poultry should take special precautions. They should wear PPE, gloves, and masks while handling birds and should practice frequent hand washing,” she added.
Although the virus causing bird flu usually does not infect people, rare cases of human infection with these viruses have been reported, especially in individuals working with infected domestic birds.
“The possible cause of infections in humans is when they come in contact with birds with the viruses and enough viruses get into a person’s eyes, nose or mouth, or is inhaled through the excretions of birds,” said Kunal Kothari, Senior Physician, Internal Medicine, SMS Medical College in Jaipur.
“The spread of Bird Flu from one individual, who is sick to another has been very rare and data is limited, inefficient and not sustained but as a precaution, we should all be watchful of public health advisory,” Kothari added.
Bird Flu is a communicable virus among the avian population and human to human spread is not too prominent with the current strain. However, viruses are prone to mutation, so if this virus undergoes mutation in the future, it has the potential to spread from human to human and cause a pandemic. Bird flu mostly infects the respiratory system of humans. Common symptoms are fever, runny nose, sore throat, cough, muscle aches, etc.

“If severe, it can cause ARDS, multi-organ involvement, and even death. The sporadic data on bird flu from the past shows very high mortality, to the tune of 60 percent. Thus, it becomes important to take precautions now,” Sareen mentioned. Nevertheless, maintaining distance from birds in the environment is important as the spread of the avian virus is through the saliva, fecal matter of an infected bird.
“The avian virus is airborne. Notify the community health department on seeing sick or dead birds and try not to come in direct contact with these birds without proper masks, gloves, and disinfectants,” Kothari noted. The Central government has issued a status report of avian influenza in the country, saying the disease has been confirmed in seven states. The Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying (DAHD) has issued an advisory to the affected states so as to avoid further spread of disease. (IANS)

Happy Childhood May Lower Drug Risk Among Teens

If your teenage child has memories of a happy childhood, they are less likely to indulge in drinking or substance abuse and enjoy learning, a new study suggests. The findings, published in the journal Addiction Research and Theory, indicated that positive attitudes towards the past, present, and future put adolescents at lower risk of alcohol use, binge drinking, and marijuana.
“Many teenagers also aren’t engaging with online learning during Covid-19 or have lower engagement levels,” said researcher John Mark Froiland from Purdue University in Indiana, US.

“But they are more likely to be enthusiastic learners and not use drink and drugs if teachers take time to build more positive relationships with them. They can help students see that everything they are learning is truly valuable. Parents have a role to play too,” Froiland added.
For the study, the team assessed 1,961 students at a high school and half (53 percent) of the pupils included in the study were female. The researchers looked at responses from pupils where they rated how nostalgic they were of their childhood, current happiness levels in life, and how much they look forward to future happiness.

They also analyzed marijuana and alcohol habits over the past 30 days including binge drinking, and average academic grades.

Learning To Play The Piano As An Adult With John Perry

BY JAMIE CARTWRIGHT
Quarantine has given many of us the space to explore new creative outlets. If you’ve always wanted to learn a new skill or adopt a new hobby, now is the time. If you’ve ever wished you had learned piano when you were younger, John Perry explains that it is never too late. Millions of adults have signed up for virtual piano lessons over the past year, including former students who have resumed their studies. Music-making in general, and piano playing in particular, is a terrific way to use your time productively, develop artistic skills, and have some fun. As an avid player, he is here to outline the value of piano lessons for adults, and how you can get started today.
Author John Perry has always loved piano: “I last took piano lessons as a college student. As much as I loved it, once I started my career and had a family, I had no time to practice. Piano gradually moved to the back burner and, finally, completely off the stove.” But now, with his kids grown and a new flexible freelance career, John has returned to the piano. When the pandemic began, John Perry was convinced that there was no time like the present to return to his lessons.

Finding an Instructor
In our digitally connected world, finding a piano teacher is easier than ever. John Perry explains that local music groups, schools, churches, and teacher associations all have websites that can point you in the right direction (there is also the old-fashioned practice of asking around!). John Perry found his teacher through a referral from a friend of a friend. There are plenty of online teaching programs as well, allowing you to learn remotely or through simple YouTube videos. However, in his experience, John Perry believes that both teaching and learning are more effective and enjoyable in person.
When you find a prospective teacher, John Perry suggests a trial period of a month to make sure you are musically and personally compatible. Most private students are children, so most teachers love having an adult to teach. John Perry has had nothing but positive experiences with his teacher: “My new teacher, Sarah, is excellent. It’s amazing how much she reminds me of my first teacher, Mrs. Hayman, when I was in elementary school. They’re both patients, capable, and have answers for every question I ask.”
Practice Makes Perfect
One of the best advantages of piano lessons as an adult is that you’re free to practice as much or as little as you like — unlike the old days when your parents made you sit there! Chances are you’ll love playing for a few minutes every day. As with any other skill, it is important to practice regularly even if it’s only for fifteen minutes a day. Perry states that his goal is fifteen minutes five days a week, though most weeks he goes longer because he is enjoying it so much.
Buying a Piano
Of course, taking piano lessons requires — a piano. If you have one already, great. If not, consider asking around to see if anyone you know may have one you can borrow. Another possible solution is to practice at someone’s home who has a piano—or at a nearby school or church. In addition, a lot of music stores rent pianos. Most of them will allow you to apply rental payments to the purchase price if you decide to buy later.
If you want to buy an instrument, the easiest and safest way is to visit your local piano stores, play on the used pianos they have in stock, and buy the one you like best. Of course, there’s also the new piano option, which gives you a pristine, factory-fresh model. However, John Perry explains: “My advice, particularly for beginners, is to get a used piano in good condition. A well-maintained instrument that has never been wet or otherwise damaged is practically as good as a new one.” It is important to have a piano technician check it out for you first. It will cost you to have them take a look, but their expertise can save you from paying too much or buying an instrument that will break down.

Electronic Keyboards
If you don’t have the money or space for a piano, there is the electronic keyboard option. But as John Perry points out, the physical, tactile experience is completely different between the two and pianos can respond to a far wider range of touch and expression than any electronic substitute. Though pianos do take up room, an upright needs no more floor space than a bedroom dresser. If you just want to mess around or play in a garage band, a keyboard is fine. If you want to play the piano, you need a piano.
John Perry claims that his elementary school teacher would applaud his recent progress: “I’ve been at it almost a year now and enjoy playing more than ever. My chops are slowly coming back. Though I still have plenty of catching up to do, I’ve already recovered some of the basics. At least I look the part of a serious pianist: back straight, shoulders firm, arms relaxed, fingers curled naturally as if they were resting in my lap. Mrs. Hayman would be proud.”

Netflix Testing Sleep Time Feature On Android

Video-streaming platform Netflix is testing a new feature on Android devices globally that would allow subscribers to set a timer for their viewing period. According to The Verge, after the selected time limit comes to an end, the Netflix app would stop. The new feature lets people choose between four timer settings — 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or end of whatever people are watching.

This should in theory help conserve battery life on Android devices while also ensuring that episodes don’t continue to auto-play, the report said on Friday.

Although the test is limited to select users globally with Android devices right now, Netflix would explore bringing it to other devices, including TV sets and desktops, depending on how widely the product is adapted and if subscribers seem to like it.
As of now, the feature is only available on adult profiles. Although it seems like a perfect feature for kids, especially where screen time is concerned, it is not available right now. The company could potentially make a version of the feature more applicable for account profiles designed for children in the future, the report said. However, it is not clear when this feature might be available for all the users on Netflix. (IANS)

Cybercriminals and Pirates of The Internet Find New Goldmine in Google Drive!

www.newsgram.com

Cybercriminals and pirates of the Internet now have a new goldmine in Google Drive where they are freely storing and sharing illegal software licenses, movies, games and porn content — most of which have allegedly been indexed in Google Search as some Drive users made such links public in their individual accounts.
Google Drive is a file storage and synchronisation service that allows users to store files on their servers, synchronise files across devices, and share files. According to independent cyber security researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia, thousands of such explicit and illegal content is being circulated via Google Drive, in zipped compressed files.
“Apart from thousands of porn videos, at least 25,000-30,000 links are likely sharing illegal content like malware, software, movies, games and what not. One can search such links in Google Drive at ease. Just do a search and download at will,” Rajaharia told IANS on Sunday and shared several such screenshots.

The irony is that movies/games/software that have been removed from Google Search on the basis of copyright violation are available in Google Drive for faster download. “Unlike other file sharing websites, Google Drive allows faster downloads so such illegal and explicit content is thriving on its platform,” the cyber security researcher claimed.
An email sent to Google asking if such content is being stored and shared freely on Drive did not elicit any response. Under its terms of service, Google says that “We may review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our Program Policies, and we may remove or refuse to display content that we reasonably believe violates our policies or the law. But that does not necessarily mean that we review content, so please don’t assume that we do”.
While Google doesn’t go into the details of its detection methods, it uses file-hashes to detect infringing content. Google Drive matches the hash of copyrighted video content with files that are stored by users to identify pirated content. The company does this on a voluntary basis, according to media reports.
According to Rajaharia, Google Drive is dangerous in a sense because one can search anything easily on its platform that other file-sharing websites. “There are thousands of pirated movies, softwares, mobile apps uploaded on Google Drive and you can easily search in Google,” he said.
Nearly 80 per cent of the Google Drive movies links are malware. “One wrong click may install malware into your PC or mobile,” Rajaharia added. According to data provided by him, total Drive links indexed in Google Search are over 10 lakh but not all these links are related to piracy/illegal files.

“There are over 20,000 movies links, more than 2,500 software download links, over 2,500 APK (Android Application Package) mobile apps and more than 1,500 cracked illegal software copies (not all may be pirated),” Rajaharia told IANS. The Google Drive users must also be aware of their actions.
“They should not make pirated movies and other content public on Google Drive as this will lead to indexing on Search. They must keep their content private or share links with people they know and trust,” the cyber security researcher emphasised. (IANS)

One can search such links in Google Drive at ease. Just do a search and download at will,” Rajaharia told IANS on Sunday and shared several such screenshots.\nPlease Follow NewsGram on Facebook To Get Latest Updates!\nThe irony is that movies/games/software that have been removed from Google Search on the basis of copyright violation are available in Google Drive for faster download. “Unlike other file sharing websites, Google Drive allows faster downloads so such illegal and explicit content is thriving on its platform,” the cyber security researcher claimed.\nAn email sent to Google asking if such content is being stored and shared freely on Drive did not elicit any response. Under its terms of service, Google says that “We may review content to determine whether it is illegal or violates our Program Policies, and we may remove or refuse to display content that we reasonably believe violates our policies or the law. But that does not necessarily mean that we review content, so please don’t assume that we do”.\nWhile Google doesn’t go into the details of its detection methods, it uses file-hashes to detect infringing content. Google Drive matches the hash of copyrighted video content with files that are stored by users to identify pirated content. The company does this on a voluntary basis, according to media reports.\nAccording to Rajaharia, Google Drive is dangerous in a sense because one can search anything easily on its platform that other file-sharing websites. “There are thousands of pirated movies, softwares, mobile apps uploaded on Google Drive and you can easily search in Google,” he said.\nNearly 80 per cent of the Google Drive movies links are malware. “One wrong click may install malware into your PC or mobile,” Rajaharia added. According to data provided by him, total Drive links indexed in Google Search are over 10 lakh but not all these links are related to piracy/illegal files.\nALSO READ: Bilingual Homes Makes The Child More Attentive\n“There are over 20,000 movies links, more than 2,500 software download links, over 2,500 APK (Android Application Package) mobile apps and more than 1,500 cracked illegal software copies (not all may be pirated),” Rajaharia told IANS. The Google Drive users must also be aware of their actions.\n“They should not make pirated movies and other content public on Google Drive as this will lead to indexing on Search. They must keep their content private or share links with people they know and trust,” the cyber security researcher emphasised. (IANS)",

30% Severely Infected Patients Have Post-Covid Digestive Issues
| null | null |

Cough, fever, body ache, neurological symptoms, brain fog, poor appetite, fatigue, and shortness of breath are classic post-covid symptoms that require immediate attention. But, gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, digestive issues, swelling of the liver, low sugar, and pancreas problems are getting missed by the people.
As per doctors, around 30 percent of the severely infected critical patients and senior citizens who come out of the ICU after recovery have post-covid digestive issues, while youngsters may exhibit mild symptoms like diarrhea.
Follow NewsGram on Instagram to keep yourself updated.
Nysha Khanna (name changed), a 30-year-old working professional from Mumbai was admitted to Zen Multispecialty Hospital, Chembur due to hyper insulin secretion post-Covid recovery. She was repeatedly getting episodes of low blood sugar. Her sugar level was 40 mg/dL and she was thoroughly examined to rule out the presence of a pancreatic tumor.
It was confirmed that she suffered from a rare condition called autoimmune response wherein the body produces an extremely high amount of insulin and the patient gets repeated hypoglycemia, sweating, drop in sugar levels, and diarrhea because of the Covid and antibiotics, said the hospital.
Supportive treatment was given to her like monitoring her sugar on a daily basis with no medication. She was asked to come for regular follow-ups as the condition will go away after three months, said the hospital. “But if her sugar levels go below 30 mg/dL then she may get convulsion and even lose her life. Coronavirus not only gives a tough time to your respiratory health but even digestive issues may crop up post-Covid recovery. The virus can replicate in the digestive tract after clearing in the airways.”
Dr. Roy Patankar, Gastroenterologist and Director of Zen Multispecialty, said: “Many patients have reported post-covid problems wherein the liver enzymes go up owing to the swelling of the liver cells, effects on the pancreas and sugar going up as insulin production are low. Certain medications given during the treatment of Covid have side-effects on the kidney too.”

Dr. Patankar added: “Those patients who suffer from digestive issues post recovery will have to take adequate rest and drink a lot of fluids. Do not forget to load up on those vitamin C, D, and calcium supplements as suggested by the expert. Stick to a high fiber diet, take probiotics, and cut down on heavy fried foods. Do blood tests as recommended by your expert to manage serious complications.”
“Instead of concentrating only on the lungs post-covid recovery and opting for breathing exercises, it is also essential to monitor digestive health. Include fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in the diet, limiting foods with added sugar and fats. Chew your food properly, and stay hydrated by drinking a lot of water.” (IANS)

WhatsApp: Accept The Changes Or Accounts Will Be Deleted By Feb 8
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com

Millions of Indian users received an in-app notification from WhatsApp as part of an upcoming global roll-out for over 2 billion users, asking them to either accept the changes in its Terms of Service and privacy policy by February 8 or their accounts will be deleted.
The in-app notification did not elicit many details but clicking on the links clearly mentioned the key changes in how WhatsApp will collect and process users’ information going forward, and the partnership with Facebook, its parent company, as part of a larger unification drive between the family of apps.
Follow NewsGram on Instagram to keep yourself updated.
“WhatsApp must receive or collect some information to operate, provide, improve, understand, customize, support, and market our Services, including when you install, access, or use our Services,” the updated policy reads.
“Businesses you interact with using our Services may provide us with information about their interactions with you. We require each of these businesses to act in accordance with applicable law when providing any information to us,” it further read.
WhatsApp’s new Terms of Service and privacy policy will come into effect on February 8.
The mobile messaging platform said that it works with third-party service providers and “other Facebook Companies” to help it operate, provide, improve, understand, customize, support, and market its services.
“These companies may provide us with information about you in certain circumstances; for example, app stores may provide us with reports to help us diagnose and fix service issues”. To recall, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg in October said that the company is working hard to merge Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp so that they can start to function a little bit more like one connected interoperable system.
In a bid to allow cross-messaging among its family of apps, Facebook has reportedly started merging Instagram and Messenger chats. The social network has already integrated Messenger rooms with WhatsApp on the Web.
“There’s more work to happen here. We, of course, want to bring in WhatsApp to that interoperability as well. There are more features we want to add even to the Messenger, Instagram interoperability,” Zuckerberg had told analysts during the company’s earnings call. In its updated policy, WhatsApp said that if “you use our Services with such third-party services or Facebook Company Products, we may receive information about you from them”.
“For example, if you use the WhatsApp share button on a news service to share a news article with your WhatsApp contacts, groups, or broadcast lists on our Services, or if you choose to access our Services through a mobile carrier’s or device provider’s promotion of our Services,” the company said.

WhatsApp said as part of the Facebook Companies, it can make suggestions for you (for example, of friends or group connections, or of interesting content), like “personalizing features and content, helping you complete purchases and transactions, and showing relevant offers and ads across the Facebook Company Products,” along with “providing integrations which enable you to connect your WhatsApp experiences with other Facebook Company Products”.
“For example, allowing you to connect your Facebook Pay account to pay for things on WhatsApp or enabling you to chat with your friends on other Facebook Company Products, such as Portal, by connecting your WhatsApp account,” the new policy explained. (IANS)

Actor Rowan Atkinson is globally loved for playing Mr. Bean, but he says he finds portraying the character stressful and exhausting.
The 65-year-old is developing an animated film based on the popular character, but he says he finds “the weight of responsibility not pleasant”, reports dailymail.co.uk.

“Having made an animated TV series, we’re now in the foothills of developing an animated movie for Mr. Bean — it’s easier for me to perform the character vocally than visually,” he said in an interview to Radio Times.
“I don’t much enjoy playing him. The weight of responsibility is not pleasant. I find it stressful and exhausting, and I look forward to the end of it,” he added.
He confessed that he doesn’t like the “process of making anything — with the possible exception of ‘Blackadder’ because the responsibility for making that series funny was on many shoulders, not just mine”.

The “Johnny English” actor isn’t surprised by the success of his character. “Mr. Bean’s success has never surprised me. Watching an adult behaving in a childish way without being remotely aware of his inappropriateness is fundamentally funny,” he said.
“The fact the comedy is visual rather than verbal means it has been successful internationally, too,” he added.

An athlete from Thane has become the first Indian woman to complete the grueling Everesting Running Challenge (ERC), while a man finished it fastest, setting a new national record, the organizers said.
The ERC was attempted by a group of five amateur athletes from the evening at the tiny, automobile-free Matheran hill station in Raigad but was finally completed.
While Mahejabin S. Ajmanwala, 37, became the first Indian woman to complete it early on Sunday, the group’s coach Manish Jaiswal, 29, created a new national record by cracking it in the shortest time to date.
Organized by Snails2Bolt, a fitness group in Mira Road, Thane, ERC involves a tough trial in which the participants must run non-stop to achieve an elevation of 8,849 meters (8.85 km) — or equivalent to the height of Mt. Everest.

The selected spot for the ERC was a 700-meter elevation hill in Matheran which the runners ran up for 6.70 km, returned down and repeated the regimen at least 14-15 times till they attained the height of Mt. Everest, but the supported descent was not counted for the challenge.
An IT engineer with a private company, Jaiswal finished the tough task, running 91 km and a height of 9,183 meters in 18 hours and 58 minutes, notching a new Indian record, compared to the completion time clocked by three previous male participants.
For her new trailblazer ERC record, Ajmanwala, a sales manager with the realtor Kanakia Group, ran a whopping 92 km in 34 hours and 39 minutes to notch the final elevation figure of 9,948 meters.
As per the official announcement on Monday, both Jaiswal and Ajmanwala recorded elevation levels much higher than the required 8,849 meters.

“There were no breaks in the running, it was non-stop even during the two intervening nights, till we completed the ERC and attained the elevation of 8,849 meters,” said an elated Jaiswal.
“Even when we got hungry, we ate while sprinting, as no rest period is permitted barring the recovery sessions by our group physio-masseur Rohit Kamble, who made us ‘running fit’ for the next 6.70 km haul,” Ajmanwala said.
Jaiswal said it was a tremendous effort as all the participants trained rigorously for nearly eight months for the final mega-ERC or a ‘virtual climb’ of the tallest peak on the planet, Mt. Everest.
“We would not have achieved this spectacular performance without the untiring support of our entire Snails2Bolt team and the complete faith of Kanakia Group Managing Director Himanshu Kanakia and Fast&Up, which part-sponsored the event,” Jaiswal acknowledged.
The full ERC has been completed by a total of 528 runners worldwide to date, including 36 women, with just five from India – four men and now also a woman – figuring in the Australia-based organization’s globally coveted “Hall of Fame”.

Study: The Wealth Of Indian Billionaires Increased By 35 Percent During The Lockdown

As the pandemic severely hit the economy leaving millions out of job, the wealth of Indian billionaires increased by 35 percent during the lockdown and by 90 percent since 2009 to $422.9 billion, ranking India sixth after the US, China, Germany, Russia, and France, a new report by Oxfam said on Monday.
The 1,000 richest people on the planet recouped their Covid-19 losses within just nine months, but it could take more than a decade for the world’s poorest to recover from the economic impacts of the pandemic, reveals the report titled ‘The Inequality Virus,’ published on the opening day of the World Economic Forum’s ‘Davos Agenda’.
“In fact, the increase in wealth of the top 11 billionaires of India during the pandemic could sustain the NREGS scheme for 10 years or the health ministry for 10 years,” according to the Oxfam report.
Follow NewsGram on LinkedIn to know what’s happening around the world.
Since March as the government announced lockdown, India’s top 100 billionaires saw their fortunes increase by Rs 12.97 trillion. The money was enough to give every one of the 138 million poorest Indians a cheque for Rs 94,045 each”. “We stand to witness the greatest rise in inequality since records began. The deep divide between the rich and poor is proving as deadly as the virus,” said Gabriela Bucher, Executive Director of Oxfam International.
“Rigged economies are funneling wealth to a rich elite who are riding out the pandemic in luxury, while those on the frontline of the pandemic — shop assistants, healthcare workers, and market vendors — are struggling to pay the bills and put food on the table”.
Worldwide, billionaires saw their wealth increase by a staggering $3.9 trillion between March 18 and December 31, 2020. Their total wealth now stands at $11.95 trillion, which is equivalent to what G20 governments have spent in response to the pandemic. Only three of the 50 richest billionaires in the world saw their fortunes diminish over that period, losing $3 billion between them.
“Elon Musk increased his net wealth by $128.9bn, Jeff Bezos by $78.2 billion. The world’s 10 richest billionaires have collectively seen their wealth increase by $540bn over this period,” the report mentioned. The report showed that COVID-19 has the potential to increase economic inequality in almost every country at once, the first time this has happened since records began over a century ago.
“Rising inequality means it could take at least 14 times longer for the number of people living in poverty to return to pre-pandemic levels than it took for the fortunes of the top 1,000, mostly White male, billionaires to bounce back,” the findings showed.
Oxfam’s report showed how the rigged economic system is enabling a super-rich elite to amass wealth in the middle of the worst recession since the Great Depression while billions of people are struggling to make ends meet. It revealed how the pandemic is deepening long-standing economic, racial and gender divides. “Women and marginalized racial and ethnic groups are bearing the brunt of this crisis. They are more likely to be pushed into poverty, more likely to go hungry, and more likely to be excluded from healthcare,” said Bucher. Women are the hardest hit, yet again.

“Globally, women are overrepresented in the low-paid precarious professions that have been hardest hit by the pandemic. If women were represented at the same rate as men in these sectors, 112 million women would no longer be at high risk of losing their incomes or jobs,” the report noted.
Infection and mortality rates are higher in poorer areas of countries such as France, India, and Spain while England’s poorest regions experience mortality rates double that of the richest areas. “Extreme inequality is not inevitable, but a policy choice. Governments around the world must seize this opportunity to build more equal, more inclusive economies that end poverty and protect the planet,” added Bucher. “Governments must ensure everyone has access to a COVID-19 vaccine and financial support if they lose their job.” (IANS)

NASA has selected four small-scale astrophysics missions for further concept development in a new programme called “Pioneers” to study the secrets of the universe.
Through small satellites and scientific balloons, these selections enable new platforms for exploring cosmic phenomena such as galaxy evolution, exoplanets, high-energy neutrinos, and neutron star mergers, the US space agency said in a statement on Thursday.
“The principal investigators of these concept studies bring innovative, out-of-the-box thinking to the problem of how to do high-impact astrophysics experiments on a small budget,” said Thomas H Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate.

“Each of the proposed experiments would do something no other NASA telescope or mission can do, filling important gaps in our understanding of the universe as a whole.” Aspera is a SmallSat that will study galaxy evolution. Through observations in ultraviolet light, it will examine hot gas in the space between galaxies, called the intergalactic medium, and the inflow and outflow of gas from galaxies.
Pandora is a SmallSat that will study 20 stars and their 39 exoplanets in visible and infrared light. “Understanding how changes in starlight affects measurements of exoplanets is an outstanding problem in the search for habitable planets beyond the solar system,” NASA said.
StarBurst is a SmallSat that will detect high-energy gamma rays from events such as the mergers of dense stellar remnants called neutron stars. This would provide valuable insight into such events, which are also detected through gravitational waves by observatories on Earth.
Finally, PUEO is a balloon mission designed to launch from Antarctica that will detect signals from ultra-high energy neutrinos, particles that contain valuable clues about the highest-energy astrophysical processes, including the creation of black holes and neutron star mergers.

“Neutrinos travel across the universe undisturbed, carrying information about events billions of light-years away. PUEO would be the most sensitive survey of cosmic ultra-high energy neutrinos ever conducted,” the US space agency noted. After additional definition, these four concept studies will undergo a concept study review before being approved for flight.
“Through this programme designed to attract young professionals, we received two dozen great ideas from a diverse cohort of innovators at universities, research laboratories, and NASA centres,” said Paul Hertz, director of NASA’s astrophysics division at NASA Headquarters in Washington. (IANS)

Cocoa Butter helps moisturize your skin, manage your hair, and is an excellent source of antioxidants. It also helps in boosting your immunity and helps to maintain a healthy heart. Dr. Geeta Grewal, Cosmetic Surgeon and beauty and wellness expert, lists down some of the best uses of cocoa butter.
The solution to Mouth Sores
If you are prone to have painful mouth sores or your lips develop recurring blisters, use a bit of cocoa butter to keep them moisturized and it will also reduce the chances of recurring. Apply every day and soon you can overcome this problem.
Follow NewsGram on LinkedIn to know what’s happening around the world.
Attractive Brunettes
If you want to make your brunettes attractive by adding some sheen and a tint of color to the hair, a cocoa hair mask is something to try out. Mix a cup of pure aloe vera gel, 1/2 cup of pure cocoa powder and 1/4 cup of honey, 1 tablespoon of favorite conditioner (like Suave Coconut). Mix the ingredients in a bowl and you’re left with a bouncy, shiny, and great smelling chocolate treatment for brunettes.
Helpful for removing Stretch Mark
If your skin is having stretch marks then cocoa butter is the best way to lighten its mark. Cocoa butter is a thick genuine fat that dissolves at body temperature. Clean the stretch mark part of your skin with soap and let them dry by way of a towel. Apply sufficient amounts of cocoa butter to wrap your stretch marks. Massage the cocoa butter onto your skin in spherical movement until and unless it’s soaked up. It’s an easy and home treatment to overcome the stretch marks whether it is due to increasing fat or pregnancy.
Freedom from Frizzy Hair
You can use it to style your hair and keep frizz away as well. Especially in winter one tends to have rough hair, to make it shiny and overcome the frozenness just rub a small amount of cocoa butter in your palms, and smooth over. You can mix a bit of coconut oil or essential oil with it to give it a scent as well.
Cure skin replenish problems
If you have any skin-replenishing problem like burns, eczema or infection then rub a small amount of pure it into burnt skin to overcome the bruises. Make sure it doesn’t contain any alcohol, fragrances, or other additives that end up making the skin even more inflamed and sensitive. It should be pure.
Lighten the scars
You can get a smooth texture to your skin as cocoa butter enters the dermis of the skin and helps to fade the scars, marks, or sunspots on the skin. It has rich anti-oxidizing properties and it is popular for effectiveness in a skincare routine. It has calming properties that have nutritional value and can be easily absorbed. Cocoa butter contains vitamin E and helps in repairing the skin.
Smooth shaves
Prefer cocoa butter for a smooth and non-irritating shave. While shaving mix a bar form of cocoa butter with shave lotions that are absolutely according to your preference. Cocoa butter is good for skin especially when you are shaving in winter, skin becomes rough and dead. So, it will leave your skin incredibly smooth.’
Heals cracked skin
If your skin is sensitive in winter then try cocoa to heal dead and peel skin. Especially the skin of hands and legs are sensitive and are cracked as it loses its moisture, apply some it, and nourish your cracked and dry skin within a week.
Upgrade Immunity
As research shows that cocoa butter is helpful in boosting one’s immune system. Incorporating more cocoa butter into your diet and lifestyle can also encourage hormonal balance. Some of the medical conditions in which it benefits are mood disorders, heart disease, high blood pressure, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and many more.

Relaxation
If you are so tired or want to unwind from a stressful day go for a long bath. Cocoa butter is an amazing addition to a warm bath. Not only will you enjoy the deep, rich scent of vanilla and chocolate, but your bath becomes a silky smooth haven from life’s stress. Drop about 2 tablespoons of cocoa butter in the warm water or you can add and spice up your bath by adding your favorite oil and feel the stress melt away. The same thing can be done for foot soak to heel the dry feet.
Good for Heart Health
Reduces the risk of heart attack as it helps with fat metabolism. Recent research is disputing the previous mindset that all fats are bad but we can introduce healthy fats into our diets by adding cocoa butter in our diet. The polyphenolic component present is not bad for heart patients as it can be preferred in the diet. (IANS)

Choosing A Frameless Shower Screen

BY LEE
Are you planning on installing a new frameless shower screen in your bathroom? The process may sound complicated to some, but it really isn’t. In fact, it can be a lot easier than you think. Once you understand the basics of how they work, you’ll know what to expect when the time comes to install one.
The first thing to know about the difference between frameless and semi-framed shower screens is how they look. A frameless shower screen is constructed out of thicker glass than standard types of shower screens and has no inner frame at all. Therefore, all you have are those clamps that hold the panels in place and the clear glass panels themselves. Framed versions typically do have some pieces for the frame, but most include simple clamps that hold the entire thing up.
Follow NewsGram on Instagram to keep yourself updated.
However, there are also frameless shower screens that have glass panels with frames inside. These types usually have a piece for the bottom of the glass, a piece for the top of the glass, and then another piece to hold the actual shower curtain in place. These types of units are much less flimsy than their standard counterparts, but they aren’t as strong. If you want to be sure that your glass shower is going to stand up to the water pressure and all of the movements you’ll be doing in the shower, you’re better off with one of these semi-framed options.
Since the frameless shower screen isn’t actually framed, you won’t need any special equipment to hang it. Simply attach the clamps and you should be good to go. The only real accessory that you’ll need is a rubber band or two to keep the glass from falling when it’s halfway open. This is important because you don’t want the glass to get too cold, which could cause damage to your shower fixtures if it’s not held in place correctly.
Like with semi-framed units, the semi-framed option has its benefits as well. For one, it eliminates the need for adding trays, which can get quite messy. Instead, all you need are the clamps that hold the shower curtain up, so you can focus more on the quality of your movement. You can even use these units in tandem with shower curtains for a unique touch. Since there isn’t a frame to support the heavier curtain, it makes for a lighter alternative that can be used in combination with a larger shower curtain.
While these units can work perfectly fine for standard size showers, they can also be used with other bathroom designs for a nice effect. The reason why a frameless shower screen would look smaller than other designs is that it does not have a top, and the sides extend down over the entire unit. If you have a rectangular-shaped bathroom, then this might be the perfect unit for your bathroom design needs.

However, if you have a little bit of space in front of your tub but want the same style of enclosure that you’d get from a semi-framed unit, then the semi-framed option may be your best bet. It’s important to note, though, that there are different types of frames for your shower screens. The two most common are the toughened and the tempered glass. Tempered glass is designed to be stronger than regular glass, which is why it’s often used for things like car doors. Traditionally, the toughened variety was the one that was used in homes, but in recent years companies have begun producing a semi-tempered option that is just as strong but still durable enough for use in a shower screen.
Of course, no matter what type of frameless shower screen you choose, you will still be able to enjoy all of the benefits that these showers have to offer. They include a more open design, which allows you to wash hands and hair in privacy without the worry of someone else looking in on you. Also, many people enjoy these showers because they have a modern appearance and don’t take away from the overall appearance of a bathroom. They don’t have the sharp lines of some traditional showers, and they’re generally much easier to clean because they don’t have the corners that some traditional units do. Overall, these screens can be a great option for anyone who is looking for an easy, clean look for their bathroom showers.

Book Review: From The Beginning Of Time
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com

BY MARIA WIRTH
It hardly ever happened in recent times that I read a book from cover to cover within a few days, due to the huge daily influx of information via the internet. But it happened after I received “From the Beginning of Time – Modern science and the Puranas” by Ganesh Swaminathan.
The Puranas fascinate me, ever since I started many months ago to study the Srimad Bhagavata Mahapurana (1700 pages in English) and I am glad that more and more books come out on the Puranas. It seems that slowly the realization dawns that the Puranas are an incredible treasure house of knowledge in many fields – knowledge that is so vast and a lot of it so ‘far out’ that it actually couldn’t be obtained by mere humans stationed on earth. Strangely the impression was created (by whom?) that the Puranas are only mythological stories, about fights between gods and demons and about the life of Avatars. And they are mainly meant to promote a dharmic, righteous life and devotion for the Divine in common people through stories, as Vedic philosophy is too complex for them. At least that was the impression I got in my early time in India.
It is often not known, that all the 18 main Puranas start with the creation of the cosmos, a fact, that should make us sit up and reflect. Who could have recorded it? Who was present? Or is it just all plain imagination, like the fairytale that God created the world in 6 days some 6000 years ago, which has been disproven by now, as science estimates that the world is 4,5 billion years old?
Follow NewsGram on Instagram to keep yourself updated.
The author puts the spotlight on the rational aspects or interpretations of the Puranic stories of creation. He wants to show that those stories are not fairytales but amazingly in tune with the modern scientific framework in regard to the topics he selected. The topics are the lifecycle of the sun, the moon, the history and geography of the earth, and the different lokas above and below our earth. Further, the descent of Ganga, the story about the Great Flood in different cultures, and the Puranic universe in general with its huge timelines have also chaptered in the book with many quotes from different Puranas. Those quotes make the book a worthy read in itself.
The author gives first a detailed, informative summary of the insights of modern science regarding these topics, for example from postulated or observed astronomical phenomena and events, and then compares them with the stories in the Puranas and his interpretation.
Not surprisingly, in many instances, the scientific and Puranic view are close to each other, for example, the 5 stages of the life cycle of the sun or that water came from outer space, or that the moon rises each day next to another star (nakshatra), etc. In other instances, the interpretation of the author can be open for debate, for example, his view that the North Pole could be seen as Mount Meru.
The author expresses his surprise how such old texts, like the Puranas, could know what modern science knows. However, it may be more surprising how science could discover this knowledge. The book starts with a quote from the Brahmanda Purana:
“Hence listen to this summary. Narayana creates the world. It is on that occasion of creation when he makes this entire Purana. It does not remain at the time of annihilation.”
We live in a time where “divine creation” is looked down upon as unscientific. We take it for granted that “of course” science knows that our earth is part of the solar system and that we know the other planets, and can trace their position. Google says that the “five planets were known since ancient times”. And it is made to look as if it is no big deal that the ancients knew about the planets. “They can be seen with the naked eye, is given as an explanation.”
But how to know that certain lights in the night sky full of lights are planets of our sun and relatively close by? While other lights are like our sun and far, far away? Even if we watch the sky for thousands of years, we cannot come to this conclusion, can we? Only when Indian knowledge contained in the Puranas, Surya Siddhanta, etc., reached Europe, together with math and tables to calculate their position and the constellations in the sky, “science” suddenly took off and models about the cosmos appeared. At first, these models were hampered by the Church. It tried to suppress them to make its religious claims more acceptable. Only 400 years ago, in 1600 CE Giordano Bruno was still burnt at the stake by the Church because he did not recant heretic (Indian) ideas about the universe. But ultimately, the Church had to give in.
Swaminathan credits science with a lot of worthwhile insights, but he also points out that the scientific claims are so far only models. For example, the theory that the earth was, in the beginning, a fireball got in recent time competition from another theory which suspects that the earth was in temperate water after probes from 4 billion-year-old stones indicated this.
Incidentally, the Puranas accommodate both these claims. They say that at the end of Brahmas day, the earth first becomes an inferno due to the sun becoming a giant, and then, when the sun diminishes and cools, the heat turns into a deluge of water which submerges everything during the night of Brahma. Most Indians are familiar with the story of Vishnu incarnating as a boar to bring out the earth which was lying submerged in water at the start of our present cycle of creation, which lasts for a day of Brahma, or 4,32 billion years.
The book is definitely an interesting read. However, in the process of making the Puranic narrative “scientific”, the universe becomes lifeless, whereas the quotes from the Puranas project a universe full of life and divine entities. While the Puranas give Brahma the credit for creation, science turns it into a dark, lifeless chance. Would the creation make any sense if there is no awareness inherent in it? Science still sees the awareness in human beings only as a chance by-product of the material brain. Is it possible that this chance consciousness of humans on earth and maybe on some other planets would be the only knower and enjoyer of such an unimaginably vast, mysterious cosmos while everything else is the dead matter?
I wished the author had incorporated the imperative role of awareness and even the possible personification of celestial bodies into the narrative. Most Indians don’t see for example Surya Bhagawan as merely lifeless matter but endowed with awareness and identity. Unfortunately, it requires courage to express such views, as so-called scientists may call one mad. Yet Hindus could have this courage. Their ancient texts are the basis for modern science. In all likelihood, it won’t take long and Darwin’s theory and the view that the Big Bang happened by chance will go out of fashion. So why not challenge it already now and stand by the ancient knowledge before the West changes its view?
Regarding the divine origin of the Puranas, the author preferred to let the Puranas speak for themselves. Yet to make it acceptable for “scientific-minded” people, he went with the view that they are “2000 years old”.
The last chapter is dedicated to the life and immense contribution of Maharishi Vyasa who not only compiled and simplified the Vedas but also simplified the Puranas, which were at his time already “old”. The author quotes from the Matsya Purana that the original 100 crore Slokas were condensed by Vyasa into four lakh Slokas. Even now in Devaloka, they have the original number.

What I was missing in the book was a causal connection between the Puranas and the scientific models. The similarities are in all likelihood not by chance but the Puranas would have been the inspiration for the modern scientific models.
Incidentally, the Jesuits got the Puranas translated in the 17th century by Brahmins in Kerala, and then Jesuits were suddenly at the cutting edge of science, of course only in those fields which the Church allowed. Western universities valued Indian knowledge greatly in the 18th and 19th centuries. When Tuebingen University in Germany for example received the Srimad Bhagavata and 10 other ancient Indian texts from a missionary in 1839, the Dean praised them as an ornament for the university and added ruefully that this treasure however is small in comparison to the treasure which India House in London possesses. So it can be safely assumed that a lot of modern science is based on the knowledge of the huge body of Puranas.
ALSO READ: Hindu Holy Books: The Four Vedas
Some of it may have been misunderstood, too. For example, it is intriguing that, though till recently the earth was claimed to be 6000 years old, suddenly the age was expanded to a huge 4,5 billion years. Incidentally, the Puranas claim that the lifespan of the earth is 4,32 billion years, which is very close to the estimate. However, the Puranic calendar claims, that of those 4,32 billion years, by now around 2 billion years have passed in our present cycle of creation or about half a day of Brahma. Is it possible that some western scientists took inspiration from the Puranas but mixed up the lifespan with the present age?
I hope and wish that this book by Ganesh Swaminathan inspires more Indians to take interest in and study the Puranas.

The Word Veda means wisdom, knowledge, or vision, and it serves to manifest the language of the gods in human speech. Vedas are a large body of knowledge texts including elements such as poems, prayers, and formulas originating in the ancient Indian Subcontinent.
Vedas are considered the earliest literary record of Indian civilization and is the most sacred books of India having a composition of Hymns and other religious text composed between 1500 and 1000 BCE.

The canonical division of Vedas includes four Vedas Rig-Veda, the Sama-Veda, the Yajur-Veda and the Atharva Veda.
Rig-Veda: “Knowledge of the Hymns of praise”
Sama-Veda: “Knowledge of the melodies”
Yajur-Veda: “Knowledge of the sacrificial formulas”
Atharva-Veda: “Knowledge of the magical formulas”
Let’s dive deep into the topic to know more about the four Vedas.
THE RIG-VEDA
Rig-Veda- The book of Mantras, is the oldest Indic text and is a collection of 1,028 Vedic Sanskrit Hymns, 10,600 verses collected into 10 books of Hymns and mantras used by the priests.
The Rig-Veda focuses on pleasing the principal gods Indra (War, wind, and rain), Agni (the sacrificial fire), the sun, and Varuna (the cosmic order). The books were composed by poets from different priestly groups over a period of several centuries making it the oldest.
THE SAMA-VEDA
Sama-Veda- The book of songs, is purely a collection melody consisting of 1549 stanzas. The Sama-Veda Samhita has two major parts, the first includes four melody collections (Gana), and the other part includes three verse books (Arcika). The text of Sama-Veda is completely drawn from the Rig-Veda and has no different lessons of its own which makes it a reduced version of the Rig-Veda.
THE YAJUR-VEDA
Yajur-Veda- The book of Rituals, consists of prose mantras. It is a complication of ritual offering formulas that were said by a priest while an individual the ritual actions. The yajur-Veda includes 1875 verses that are built on the foundation of verses in Rig-Veda. The text of Yajur-Veda has two major groups the Black (Krishna) and the other one is the White (Shukla).
The Yajur-Veda has always been the primary source of information about sacrifices during the Vedic times and is also similar to ancient Egypt’s Book of the Dead.

THE ATHARVA-VEDA
Atharva-Veda- The book of Spells, is the last of Vedas and is completely different from the other three Vedas. The book includes the text belonging to the artharvan and Angirasa poets consisting of about 760 hymns, and 160 hymns commons with the Rig-Veda.
The last Veda- Atharva-Veda has the primary source of information about Vedic culture, the customs, and beliefs, the aspiration and frustrations of Vedic life. The text of the Atharva-Veda includes hymns dealing with marriage and cremation.

"BY SHWETA PORWAL\nThe Word Veda means wisdom, knowledge, or vision, and it serves to manifest the language of the gods in human speech. Vedas are a large body of knowledge texts including elements such as poems, prayers, and formulas originating in the ancient Indian Subcontinent.\nVedas are considered the earliest literary record of Indian civilization and is the most sacred books of India having a composition of Hymns and other religious text composed between 1500 and 1000 BCE.

Improved VR Systems Developed For Eye Tracking
| null | null |

The study, published in the SID Symposium Digest of Technical Papers, indicates that the model would make VR/AR systems more realistic and sensitive to user actions.
Researchers have developed a mathematical model that helps accurately predict the next gaze fixation point and reduces the inaccuracy caused by blinking.
Follow NewsGram on Facebook to stay updated.
“We have effectively solved the issue with the foveated rendering technology that existed in the mass production of VR systems,” researcher Viktor Belyaev, Professor at the RUDN University in Russia.
Foveated rendering is a basic technology of VR systems. When a person looks at something, their gaze is focused on the so-called foveated region, and everything else is covered by peripheral vision.
Therefore, a computer has to render the images in the foveated region with the highest degree of detail, while other parts require less computational powers.
This approach helps improve computational performance and eliminates issues caused by the gap between the limited capabilities of graphic processors and increasing display resolution.A
However, foveated rendering technology is limited in speed and accuracy of the next gaze fixation point prediction because the movement of a human eye is a complex and largely random process.
To solve this issue, the researchers developed a mathematical modeling method that helps calculate next gaze fixation points in advance.
The predictions of the model are based on the study of the so-called saccadic movements (fast and rhythmic movements of the eye). They accompany the shifts of our gaze from one object to another and can suggest the next fixation point.
However, these models cannot be used by eye trackers to predict eye movements because they are not accurate enough, the team said.
Therefore, the researchers focused on a mathematical model that helped them obtain saccadic movement parameters. After that, this data was used to calculate the foveated region of an image.

The new method was tested experimentally using a VR helmet and AR glasses. The eye tracker based on the mathematical model was able to detect minor eye movements (3.4 minutes, which is equal to 0.05 degrees), and the inaccuracy amounted to 6.7 minutes (0.11 degrees).
Moreover, the team managed to eliminate the calculation error caused by blinking: a filter included in the model reduced the inaccuracy 10 times. (IANS)

Actor Vivian Dsena, who enjoys a loyal television fan following, is not perturbed by the sudden wave of OTT taking over. He believes that the two mediums cannot be compared.
“Everybody is not an OTT fan, and everybody is not an Indian television fan. The audience is very neatly separated or rather bifurcated,” Vivian tells IANS. The actor, who rose to fame with the television show Pyaar Kii Yeh Ekk Kahani, has reasons to believe that the digital world should not be confused with what television has to offer.

“The digitalization is in the direction of a digital world so if you compare it with television it would be very different because both the mediums are different. I don’t think OTT should be in competition with Indian television because the basics never change, so television has always been the base of the mass audience platform, and digitalization is a completely different world,” Vivian Dsena says.

Having worked in the television industry for almost a decade, Vivian has learned a few important lessons.

Because there are a lot of people who never believed in me once upon a time and now when they met me they said they regret not believing in me back then. So you should not underestimate anyone.” (IANS)

I Could Diligently Work For Public Welfare Because I Was Not Associated With Any Political Party: Sonu Sood

Actor Sonu Sood, who was lauded for his efforts to send migrants home safely during lockdown last year, dismisses allegations that he pulled off the entire operation using funds provided by a particular political party.
“I could do all this because I was not associated with any political party. Otherwise I would have had to ask 100 questions before doing a job like this. Since it was my decision to connect with people and help them, I was able to reach out. Whatever I did, was not about caste or religion. I reached out to people across society. I have been connecting with people a lot over the past year,” Sonu tells IANS.

“I have been in this industry over the last 20 years and have done over 100 movies, but to reach out to every single person who loves me has not been possible. I think I have thoroughly enjoyed playing the real-life hero. This is not a film, but surely the almighty is the director,” he adds.
Questions were raised and theories floated over how he managed to send lakhs of people home on his own.
“I remember when I started this mission, Chandraprakash Dwivedi, director of my (forthcoming) film ‘Pritviraj’, told me people would want to bring me down, given the path I had chosen. The problem with the world is that people cannot see something right happening. When they see that, they question why this is happening, why is someone there to help others? But it fades off because there is no truth or spine to it. It wont stop me from doing what I am doing. It is a journey which I started with millions. There will be few who will not like it but I hope that one day they also become part of this journey,” he says.
The actor woke up to the news on Tuesday that some people in Telangana have started a free ambulance service in his name.
“The service they have started is so beautiful. This is an ambulance service that is free of cost in Telangana and it is spreading across to Andhra Pradesh. I will also be helping them now, since it is a facility a lot of people would need. They will also start a toll free number especially for this. When they told me this, I was speechless. Since, I am associated with ILAAJ India Initiative, I know how difficult it is for people to get medical service. I would like to it to be a pan-India service,” says Sonu.

How does he feel when people hail him as a real life hero? “I miss my parents more, every single day when people say I am the national hero. I wish they were here to see this. They are my guiding angels. Lot of people and young kids are affected. I used to get pictures clicked as an actor. Lately, people tell me their children want to become like me and that makes me feel very happy,” he says. (IANS)

Maldives The Most Preferred Holiday Destination For India

India has always been a key market for the Maldives. Since the reopening of the borders, the arrival statistics have shown gradual and constant growth. As per the statistics of the Ministry of Tourism, the Republic of Maldives, by the end of 2020 India became the number one source market with 62,905 Indian tourists holidaying in the island country, thus accounting for 11.3 percent of the total market share.
In 2019, India was in second place, following China. This growth accelerated due to various travel restrictions amid COVID-19 and the air travel bubble that was initiated between India and Maldives. This created a positive pathway for additional flights from India giving much-required opportunities for travelers to visit the Maldives.

After India, Russia secured second place with 61,388 tourists, followed by the UK with 52,716 tourists accounting for 11.1 percent and 9.5 percent of the total market share respectively. The Maldives opened its borders on July 15, 2020, with strict safety measures for travelers. Resorts, liveaboards, and guesthouses have opened their doors for tourists in line with HPA guidelines.
The Maldives has become an ideal location for traveling, as it is geographically blessed by its isolated nature, making it one of the safest destinations to travel to right now. Incoming travelers from India to the Maldives were largely influenced by Bollywood celebrities opting for stays at high-end resorts and organically promoting the destination.

According to Thoyyib Mohamed, MD, MMPRC, “Despite the pandemic, Maldives tourism has done well. We expected a good last quarter for tourism, but the results were beyond expectations in December.

During this unprecedented time, we had to re-strategize our marketing activities in order to accommodate the current trends and in order to gain the maximum out of our market efforts. We have constantly attempted to study the consumers’ behavior accordingly and plan for our efforts for 2021.”The Maldives recorded 555,399 arrivals in 2020 and achieved their target of 500,000 arrivals for the year. For 2021, the authorities are targeting 1.5 million arrivals. (IANS)

The Delhi Police have helped reunite a hearing and speech impaired child with his family. The kidnapping report of the 11-year-old child was lodged at Dayalpur Police station on December 15 after he went missing.
During a routine visit to observation homes for counseling of missing children, the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU) of the southeast district police came across a disabled child (facing hearing and speech impairment) who was admitted as a vagabond at the children home for boys at Lajpat Nagar.
Follow NewsGram on Twitter to stay updated about the World news.
On inquiry with the children’s home administration, the team discovered the missing boy had come to them one month ago.
The child was examined but was unable to communicate anything. The team shared his information and photographs with many institutions, police officers and known persons who had helped the team in the past. ‘Hue and cry’ notices were also pasted at prominent places in Delhi but it proved futile.

Films Are Judged Like Political Essays: Sudhir Mishra

Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra feels films these days are judged like political essays, with no regard to the craft of storytelling.
“There is a lack of political understanding yet everything is about politics. Effing weird. Films are judged like political essays. Cinema has no place. Craft has no place. Kya ho rela hai? (What is happening?),” Mishra tweeted on Friday.
“Cinema is, plucking an idea out of the air, about apparently nothing but then it becomes about so much more. About your life and mine. About your world and mine,” he added.
Mishra entered Bollywood as a director with “Yeh Woh Manzil To Nahin” in 1987. He added strokes of diverse stories on the cinematic canvas, with “Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi”, “Chameli”, “Inkaar”, “Khoya Khoya Chand”, and “Calcutta Mail”, over the years, besides the OTT-released film “Serious Men” and the web series “Hostages”.
His most recent project “Serious Men” was an adaptation of Manu Joseph’s book of the same name. The film featured Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and narrated the story of a father who wants to create a bright future for his son.

Meanwhile, the filmmaker had shared that the pandemic has left an everlasting impact on his life.
“I don’t know this whole experience of the pandemic. I’ve lost a bit of my swag. When I saw myself terrified, holding my father in my arms and running towards an ICU, and then watching him die, that has done something. I don’t know what exactly. It will show in my next (project),” he told IANS in an interview in the past. (IANS)

Metformin: An Ease For Covid Patients With Diabetes
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com
|
Use of the diabetes drug metformin — before a diagnosis of Covid-19 — is associated with a threefold decrease in mortality in Covid-19 patients with Type-2 diabetes, a new study suggests.
“Since similar results have now been obtained in different populations from around the world — including China, France and a UnitedHealthcare analysis — this suggests that the observed reduction in mortality risk associated with metformin use in subjects with Type-2 diabetes and Covid-19 might be generalizable,” said researcher Anath Shalev from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Please Follow NewsGram on Facebook To Get Latest Updates!
According to the researchers, how metformin improves prognosis in the context of Covid-19 is not known.
The findings suggest that the mechanisms may go beyond any expected improvement in glycemic control or obesity, since neither body mass index, blood glucose nor hemoglobin A1C were lower in the metformin users who survived as compared to those who died.
For the study, published in the journal Frontiers in Endocrinology, the team included 25,326 patients tested for Covid-19.
The primary outcome in the study was mortality in Covid-19-positive subjects, and the potential association with subject characteristics or comorbidities was analyzed.
Overall mortality for Covid-19-positive patients was 11 per cent.
The study found that 93 per cent of deaths occurred in subjects over the age of 50, and being male or having high blood pressure was associated with a significantly elevated risk of death.
Diabetes was associated with a dramatic increase in mortality, with an odds ratio of 3.62. Overall, 67 per cent of deaths in the study occurred in subjects with diabetes.
The researchers looked at the effects of diabetes treatment on adverse Covid-19 outcomes, focusing on insulin and metformin as the two most common medications for Type-2 diabetes. They found that prior insulin use did not affect mortality risk.

However, prior metformin use was a different matter. Metformin use significantly reduced the odds of dying, and the 11 per cent mortality for metformin users was not only comparable to that of the general Covid-19-positive population, it was dramatically lower than the 23 per cent mortality for diabetes patients not on metformin.

Kirti Kulhari: Harsh reality is Gender-based violence!

Actress Kirti Kulhari feels gender-based violence is a harsh reality, one that has gone up amid the pandemic.
“Together, we are facing the largest social, economic and health crisis, known to humankind, in the form of Covid-19. But there are many who are suffering, perhaps much more than us, in silence. Lockdown was enforced to ensure our safety. But many women are not safe in their own homes. Cases of domestic abuse and domestic violence have risen by an alarming percentage,” Kirti said.
She continued: “This is the shadow pandemic and you and I can actively work towards putting an end to it. It could be you, your neighbor, your friend, your help, your colleague or anyone else facing gender-based violence and suffering in silence. It is happening to women around us which is why this concerns you, me, all of us.”
“One in three women in the world face violence usually by their partner. Gender-based violence is a harsh reality and as a society, we must do our bit to make a difference. If you see anyone experiencing violence, lend your hand and your voice to the situation. It is time we stand with survivors, and initiate a much-needed conversation. While we are actively working towards ending the Covid 19 pandemic, let’s also treat this as an opportunity to build back a better and equal world,” she added.
In sync with her thoughts, the actress has supported the cause of #BuildBackBetterAndEqual, an initiative by UN Women.

With only 200 days to go for the Tokyo Olympics, captains of the Indian men’s and women’s hockey teams believe this will be the most crucial time of their lives. Both Manpreet Singh and Rani, skippers of the respective men’s and women’s teams, have cautioned that the players should not let external factors affect their goal of achieving success in the prestigious quadrennial event.
The Tokyo Olympics, which were slated to be held in July-August in 2020, had to be postponed to the summer of 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic which has so far claimed over 18 lakh lives across the world.

“The biggest learning from last year was to not let external factors affect our goal. There could be many uncertainties but we need to only worry about what’s within our control and that is to work towards being our best. There could be several challenges leading up to the Olympic Games this year and we need to be mentally prepared for it,” said Manpreet.
He further stated that in the next 200 days, every single player in the core group should focus on giving his 100 percent. “The next 200 days is going to be the most important period of our lives. Each one of us has to give our 100 percent in training and in a competition if we want to see ourselves make the Indian team for Tokyo,” said the midfielder. Reflecting Manpreet’s views, Rani too agreed that in the next few months, players would need to up their game in all aspects.
“In the previous national camp which lasted over four months, we have really worked hard to reach the level we were previously at. In the next few months, our focus will be on improving further in all aspects of the game. Our competitions this year will show us where we stand and what needs to be improved. From here on, each one of us has to work on being the best,” said the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna awardee.
Rani said that players should not take their place in the team for granted and that they will have to showcase that they are indeed the best to make the cut.

“I look forward to good competition within the team as it brings out the best in us. Another thing we need to focus on is our mental fitness and also take care of our bodies in the lead up to the Games to avoid any injuries,” she added. (IANS)

ADHD disorder is not only the child who is fidgeting and restless in a chair. It's also the child who is inattentive because of daydreaming.

Computer Models Can Fast Identify Kids With Attention Disorder
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com

In a bid to better identify symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children, researchers have vouched for adding computer simulations to cognitive testing methods, to gauge the presence and severity of behavioral problems in kids.
Cognitive testing in ADHD is used to identify a variety of symptoms and deficits, including selective attention, poor working memory, altered time perception, difficulties in maintaining attention, and impulsive behavior. According to researchers from Ohio State University, for ADHD, however, these cognitive tests often don’t capture the complexity of symptoms.
Follow NewsGram on Facebook to stay updated.
The advent of computational psychiatry – comparing a computer-simulated model of normal brain processes to dysfunctional processes observed in tests – could be an important supplement to the diagnostic process for ADHD, the researchers reported in a new review published in the journal Psychological Bulletin.
Children with ADHD take longer to make decisions while performing tasks than children who don’t have the disorder, and tests have relied on average response times to explain the difference. But there are intricacies to that dysfunction that a computational model could help pinpoint, providing information clinicians, parents and teachers could use to make life easier for kids with ADHD.
“We can use models to simulate the decision process and see how decision-making happens over time – and do a better job of figuring out why children with ADHD take longer to make decisions,” said Nadja Ging-Jehli, lead author of the review. The research team reviewed 50 studies of cognitive tests for ADHD and described how three common types of computational models could supplement these tests.
The researchers offer recommendations for testing and clinical practice to achieve three principal goals: better-characterizing ADHD and any accompanying mental health diagnoses such as anxiety and depression, improving treatment outcomes, and potentially predicting which children will “lose” the ADHD diagnosis as adults.

The review also identified a complicating factor for ADHD research going forward — a broader range of externally evident symptoms as well as subtle characteristics that are hard to detect with the most common testing methods. Understanding that children with ADHD have so many biologically based differences suggests that a single task-based test is not sufficient to make a meaningful ADHD diagnosis, the researchers said.
“ADHD disorder is not only the child who is fidgeting and restless in a chair. It’s also the child who is inattentive because of daydreaming. Even though that child is more introverted and doesn’t express as many symptoms as a child with hyperactivity, that doesn’t mean that child doesn’t suffer,” Ging-Jehli elaborated. Daydreaming is especially common in girls, who are not enrolled in ADHD studies nearly as frequently as boys, she said. (IANS)

Indian women working in the IT industry prefer work from home than working from office as it gives them more autonomy reveals a survey.

38% Indian Women Techies Prefer WHF
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com
|
Almost 38 per cent Indian women working in a tech or IT industry prefer working at home to working in the office, says a new survey.
About 36 per cent women said they had more autonomy when not working in an office, according to the “Women in Tech” report by cybersecurity firm Kaspersky.
Follow NewsGram on Facebook to stay updated.
When female respondents were asked about the day-to-day functions that are detracting from productivity or work progression, 54 per cent said they had done the majority of cleaning in the home compared to 33 per cent of men.
Similarly, about 54 per cent of the ladies had been in charge of home schooling compared to 40 per cent of men, and 50 per cent of women have had to adapt their working hours more than their male partner in order to look after the family.
As a result, 76 per cent of women in India believe that the effects of Covid-19 have actually delayed, rather than enhanced, their overall career progression.
“Companies need to signal, both through culture and policy, that they will give working parents of both genders the flexibility they need during COVID (and beyond),” Merici Vinton, Co-Founder and CEO at Ada’s List, a professional women’s network, said in a statement.
“Companies need to understand that representation does matter and having ladies in leadership, majority-women teams and women in interviews demonstrates that there’s space for women in their company.”
While these examples of social disparity aren’t tech specific, they do point towards a barrier that is preventing women from capitalising on the past year’s shift to remote working.
“If the tech realm takes the lead and ensures a more flexible and balanced environment for women, then it will become the norm more quickly, which is more likely to trigger a change in social dynamics too,” said Evgeniya Naumova, Vice President of the Global Sales Network at Kaspersky.

Rahul Mishra’s third couture collection at the Haute Couture Week Spring-Summer promises hope for fashion. As a guest member of the Paris couture calendar, the designer renowned for his commitment to slow fashion makes a strong statement that inspires a renewed belief in the world couture. Mishra who is known to take inspiration from nature presented ‘The Dawn’ for Spring 2021, a collection inspired by Mother Earth’s incredible ability to regenerate.
“The thought for the collections started with David Attenborough’s documentary, ‘A Life on our Planet’ where he indicated that humans cannot save the planet, but, they can just prolong their future here with their wisdom,” said the designer in an exclusive statement to IANS.
Follow NewsGram on Instagram to keep yourself updated.
Adding, “The lockdown showed us how quickly nature reclaims space, in the absence of human interference. This collection encapsulates the idea of nature’s growth towards biodiversity starting with the growth of mushrooms — one of the most life-giving species of the planet. Filmed in a pristine marble dump-yard situated in the state of Rajasthan, India, the collection represents a flush of life. A retrieval of color to a world drained of its natural resources, abundance, and animation through years of piling marble dust.”
‘The Dawn’ contemplates the state of environmental damage and imagines the world that shall live beyond the interference of the human species. It emerges from an intensified realization during the lockdown that the humans may not have to save the planet, but themselves. The planet perhaps shall survive regardless and the human species may succumb to their weakness.

Rahul Mishra states, “each of the mushroom forms is individually engineered through a unique pattern making process assisted by novel hand embroidery techniques, in order to achieve a realistic fall and movement.” (IANS)

The supply of new housing units improved in the October-December 2020 quarter in the country, a report by PropTiger.com said.
According to Real Insight Q4 2020, a total of 54,329 new units were launched during the three months. New launches grew by 173 percent quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) to 19,865 units that were launched in eight key markets during the July-September period.
The report noted that this also reflected a 12 percent year-on-year (YoY) growth over the 48,530 new units that were launched in the December quarter in 2019.
“This was the first quarter since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic wherein we witnessed a YoY growth, signaling a turnaround in the market,” it said.
“Considering all factors, the sector has shown remarkable tenacity in 2020 against unprecedented odds that caused the economy to contract and impact consumer spending,” said Dhruv Agarwala, Group CEO, Housing.com, Makaan.com, and PropTiger.com.

He noted that the fact that housing sales in India’s key markets have started to bounce back, despite the general gloom caused by the pandemic, shows the immense potential of the real estate sector, which employs the highest number of unskilled workers in the country.
“The sector’s performance seems particularly impressive, given that the pandemic has impacted the income-generating capacity of a large number of people. End-users and investors continue to feel confident about investing in real estate. Prices continued to remain stable and the overall outlook looks positive,” Agarwala added.
In 2020, a total of 1,22,426 units were launched, about half of the new supply in 2019 — 2,44,256 units.
A city-wise break-up of launches also shows that there has been a quarterly increase in the October-December period across markets, barring Ahmedabad. Hyderabad, Pune, and Mumbai were the top three cities in terms of new launches.

Units in the sub-Rs 45 lakh category were the largest contributor to the overall supply, with nearly 46 percent share, followed by the mid-segment, which contributed 25 percent.
The spike in supply numbers could be attributed to the increase in home-buying interest in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic and also the fact that new launches were muted over the prior three quarters.
“While the trends point to market recovery and positive news given the imminent launch of a vaccine that will ease the pandemic concerns, our optimism should be cautious. Buyers continue to expect low home loan rates, an extension of developer offers, and prefer ready-to-move inventory over under-construction ones,” said Mani Rangarajan, Group COO, Housing.com, Makaan.com, and PropTiger.com.
“We believe that the government should continue to support the sector through moves like lower stamp duty, re-evaluation of circle rates, and increase in tax deduction limit for interest on home loans to ensure that the sector continues to revive.”
Even though home sales in markets covered in the analysis declined by 27 percent compared with the December quarter of 2019, they showed a 68 percent improvement compared with the preceding quarter.

While 58,914 units were sold during the three months, only 182,639 units were sold through all of 2020. Compared with the overall sales registered in 2019, the numbers achieved in 2020 show a 47 percent decline, the report said. (IANS)

If you ignore a colleague’s greeting or make a sarcastic comment in the workplace then it may actually do more harm to them than intended, a new study suggests. The study indicates that perceived low-grade forms of workplace mistreatment, such as avoiding eye contact or excluding a co-worker from conversation can amplify suicidal thoughts in employees with mood disorders.
“We know from prior research that minor forms of workplace mistreatment reduce employee engagement,” said researcher Kayla Follmer, Assistant Professor at the West Virginia University in the US.
Follow NewsGram on Instagram to keep yourself updated.
“But our paper provided an explanation about why this was occurring. Mistreatment increases suicidal ideation (thoughts) and because of that, work engagement is reduced,” Follmer added. For the study, published in the journal Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, the research team surveyed 279 adults who are employed 20 or more hours a week and diagnosed with depression or bipolar disorder.

The researchers then asked participants to rate various experiences relating to workplace mistreatment, suicidal ideation, and job engagement over several months. While research for this study was conducted before the Covid-19 pandemic, Follmer wonders if the world of remote work intensifies the effects of mental health and workplace engagement.
“Suicide and depression are very taboo, dark topics. It can be heavy at times to research, but that’s the responsibility we bear to bring these experiences into awareness for organizations and to tell them we can do better. And it’s our responsibility to do better for those individuals who need us,” the researcher said. (IANS)

New Drug Delivery To Brain Could Treat Neurological Disorders

A team of researchers has created a nanoparticle platform to facilitate the successful delivery of therapeutic agents to the brain, which could open possibilities for the treatment of numerous neurological disorders.
Although researchers have in the past decade identified biological pathways leading to neurodegenerative diseases and developed promising molecular agents to target them, delivering therapeutics across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and into the brain has been a challenge.
Follow NewsGram on Twitter to stay updated about the World news.
The newly created nanoparticle platform can facilitate therapeutically effective delivery of encapsulated agents in mice with a physically breached or intact blood-brain barrier, said the study published in the journal Science Advances.
In a mouse model of traumatic brain injury (TBI), they observed that the delivery system showed three times more accumulation in the brain than conventional methods of delivery and was therapeutically effective as well.
The researchers believe that the study could open possibilities for the treatment of numerous neurological disorders.
Previously developed approaches for delivering therapeutics into the brain after traumatic brain injury relies on the short window of time after a physical injury to the head, when the blood-brain barrier is temporarily breached.

However, after the blood-brain barrier is repaired within a few weeks, physicians lack tools for effective drug delivery.
“It’s very difficult to get both small and large molecule therapeutic agents delivered across the BBB,” said corresponding author Nitin Joshi from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in the US.
“Our solution was to encapsulate therapeutic agents into biocompatible nanoparticles with precisely engineered surface properties that would enable their therapeutically effective transport into the brain, independent of the state of the BBB.”

The technology could enable physicians to treat secondary injuries associated with a traumatic brain injury that can lead to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other neurodegenerative diseases, which can develop during ensuing months and years once the blood-brain barrier has healed. (IANS)

With a resolve to overcome personal health struggles that came their way in 2020, almost four in five people (80.5 percent) of respondents in a new survey say they feel more inspired to make a health goal in 2021, such as weight loss (34.2 percent), building muscle (22 percent), emphasizing mental health (12.5 percent).
According to the Life Time survey, a majority of people have reported gaining weight, losing muscle, and struggling with their mental health during the past year. Nearly 86 percent said they missed their in-person workout communities.

Six in ten people say they’re sitting more than they did pre-pandemic with 30.8 percent saying they sit more than eight hours a day. For those who previously commuted to work, they’re “redeeming” their commute time in a variety of ways: catching up on sleep, spending more time with family, finding more time for exercise, and eating more thoughtful meals they’ve planned.

Overall results point to the pandemic having a substantial negative impact on the health and fitness habits of most. Nearly 70 percent of respondents said their personal health has been negatively impacted this year. Top reasons cited for the negative impact include overall stress from a pandemic, the closure of gyms, and working from home leading to less motivation to exercise.
Additionally, three-fourths believe that health clubs are essential businesses and should remain open during the pandemic to achieve health goals. With the ‘new year, new me’ attitude kicking in most people, it seems they are motivated to regain their health and fitness in the New Year. (IANS)

New Mutation In Malaria Parasite Enhancing Resistance To Drug
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com
|
New mutations in the malaria parasite that enhance resistance to a drug used to prevent the disease in pregnant women and children are already common in countries fighting the disease, says a new study.
Malaria is caused by parasites (Plasmodium species) that enter the blood when infected mosquitoes feed.
“We need to understand how these mutations work and monitor them as part of malaria surveillance programs,” said study co-author Taane Clark from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM).
Follow NewsGram on Facebook to stay updated.
Malaria causes about 435,000 deaths each year, primarily in young children in sub-Saharan Africa.
Despite a long-term global response, efforts to control the disease are hampered by the rise of drug-resistant strains of the parasite species that cause malaria.
Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP), for example, was once a first-line anti-malarial treatment but is now primarily used to prevent infection in pregnant women and children.
Mutations in two genes in the parasite Plasmodium falciparum offer resistance to SP, but recently, mutations related to resistance were discovered in a third gene, pfgch1.

To understand the extent and spread of these new mutations, the researchers analyzed genome sequences from 4,134 blood samples collected from 29 countries where malaria is endemic.
They discovered at least ten different versions of pfgch1, which occur in about one-quarter of the samples from Southeast Asia and in one-third of the samples from Africa, where strains carrying the mutations may be on the rise, showed the study published in the journal PLOS Genetics.
The growth in the number of malaria parasites with pfgch1 mutations is concerning because the mutations enhance resistance to SP and may encourage the evolution of new resistant strains.
As a result, their growth may threaten efforts to use SP to prevent malaria in vulnerable groups.

With the identification of these pfgch1 mutations through the new study, however, scientists can monitor their presence in parasite populations, to understand where SP can be used effectively, and where rates of drug-resistance are already too high. (IANS)

Checkout: विशेषज्ञ पैनल ने भारत में कोविशिल्ड के आपातकालीन उपयोग को मंजूरी दी\nTo understand the extent and spread of these new mutations, the researchers analyzed genome sequences from 4,134 blood samples collected from 29 countries where malaria is endemic.\nThey discovered at least ten different versions of pfgch1, which occur in about one-quarter of the samples from Southeast Asia and in one-third of the samples from Africa, where strains carrying the mutations may be on the rise, showed the study published in the journal PLOS Genetics.\nThe growth in the number of malaria parasites with pfgch1 mutations is concerning because the mutations enhance resistance to SP and may encourage the evolution of new resistant strains.\nAs a result, their growth may threaten efforts to use SP to prevent malaria in vulnerable groups.\nALSO READ: Research Explains Severe Virus Attacks On Lungs\nWith the identification of these pfgch1 mutations through the new study, however, scientists can monitor their presence in parasite populations, to understand where SP can be used effectively, and where rates of drug-resistance are already too high.

Ashtottaram 34) OṀ KĀRUṆYABHŨMYAI NAMAH:
Ashtottaram 34: OṀ (AUM) –KAA-RUṆ-YA-BHOO-MYAI— NA-MA-HA
ॐ कारुण्यभूम्यै नमः
(Kāruṇyam: Compassion, empathy, understanding, kindness)
Words like dayā, dākshiṇyam, karuṇa are in our culture eternally. Showing dayā or compassion to all living creatures and not harming them has been a basic moral discipline enjoined on all in Hinduism.
These words have been defined in various ways: 1) Desire that arises in one’s heart to mitigate the sufferings of others by putting forth the necessary effort, and 2) Desire to do well to others even as one wishes others should do towards one-self. The Devībhāgavatam describes kāruṇyam (dayā) as one of the eight female companions accompanying the Devi (Divine mother). The word is also used as an appellation for goddess Lakshmi, the consort of Vishṇu since she is the very personification of it towards all living beings who are her children.

Our society shows immeasurable respect irrespective of socio-economic status to those who show kāruṇyam to all living beings including animals. Our culture venerates people with divine qualities like dayā, kāruṇyam in their speech and actions. This is deep-rooted in our society. The way we show respect to sādhus, swamīs and sanyāsīs reveal this fact. These swamīs are invited by Indians abroad and treated like demi-gods.
In our purāṇās and epics, these qualities are portrayed and highlighted in characters like Shri Ramachandra Murty. There is a legend that Lord Shri Rama gently stroked the back of a squirrel when it showed its devotion to Him by dipping its back in the sand and shaking it in the ocean when monkeys were helping Shri Rama to build a bridge to cross the ocean. Even today, we see these three lines on the backs of squirrels. In these dark and selfish times also, we see some Indians in India and abroad live their lives with these qualities in their talk and actions towards every living being. Those might be in a small number, but still, there are a few left.

Our motherland and our ancient sages, seers taught and practiced dayā and kāruṇyam towards other living beings and hence our land are ‘Kāruṇya Bhūmi’.

A New Medical Device That May Help To Treat Obesity
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com

To help people treat obesity, researchers have come out with a medical device that might help with weight loss and requires a simpler operative procedure for implantation.
According to the team, their centimeter-sized device provides the feeling of fullness by stimulating the endings of the vagus nerve with light. Unlike other devices that require a power cord, their device is wireless and can be controlled externally from a remote radio frequency source.
“We wanted to create a device that not only requires minimal surgery for implantation but also allows us to stimulate specific nerve endings in the stomach. Our device has the potential to do both of these things in the harsh gastric conditions, which, in the future, can be hugely beneficial to people needing dramatic weight-loss surgeries,” said researcher Sung II Park, assistant professor at the Texas A&M University in the US.
Please Follow NewsGram on Facebook To Get Latest Updates!
In recent years, the vagus nerve has received much attention as a target for treating obesity since it provides sensory information about fullness from the stomach lining to the brain, according to a paper published in the journal Nature Communications.
Although there are medical devices that can stimulate the vagus nerve endings and consequently help in curbing hunger, these devices are similar in design to a pacemaker, that is, wires connected to a current source provide electrical jolts to activate the tips of the nerve.
However, the researcher said wireless technology, as well as the application of advanced genetic and optical tools, have the potential to make nerve stimulation devices less cumbersome and more comfortable for the patient.
“Despite the clinical benefit of having a wireless system, no device, as of yet, has the capability to do chronic and durable cell-type specific manipulation of neuron activity inside of any other organ other than the brain,” he said.
To address this gap, Park and his team first used genetic tools to express genes that respond to light into specific vagus nerve endings in vivo. Then, they designed a tiny, paddle-shaped device and inserted micro-LEDs near the tip of its flexible shaft, which was fastened to the stomach.
In the head of the device, called the harvester, they housed microchips needed for the device to wirelessly communicate with an external radio frequency source.

The harvester was also equipped to produce tiny currents to power the LEDs. When the radio frequency source was switched on, the researchers showed that the light from the LEDs was effective at suppressing hunger. (IANS)

There Are Severe Inequalities In Vaccine Distribution: WHO
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), has said that vaccines are now giving a window of opportunity to bring the Covid-19 pandemic under control, but they may also exacerbate the inequalities in distribution across the globe.
Speaking at a press briefing here on Friday, Tedros urged the world not to squander another window of opportunity to curb the pandemic, reports Xinhua news agency.

“A year ago, I said the world had a ‘window of opportunity’ to prevent widespread transmission of this new virus.”
The WHO chief was referring to a time when there were fewer than 100 Covid-19 cases and no deaths outside China.
“This week, we reached 100 million reported cases. More cases have been reported in the past two weeks than during the first six months of the pandemic.
“Vaccine nationalism might serve short-term political goals. But it’s ultimately short-sighted and self-defeating.
“When a village is on fire, it makes no sense for a small group of people to hoard all the extinguishers to defend their own houses,” Tedros said.
Since vaccines are a limited resource, the WHO has repeatedly called for their effective and fair use, according to the Director-General.
“That’s why I have challenged the government and industry leaders to work together to ensure that in the first 100 days of 2021, vaccination of health workers and older people is underway in all countries,” Tedros said.
He further called on people in countries that are now rolling out vaccines to use their voice to advocate for their government to share doses.
Healthcare workers have been on the frontlines of the pandemic and paid an extremely high price in this pandemic.
“Now it’s time to show our love and appreciation for health workers by making sure all health workers are vaccinated,” he said.

The WHO chief’s remarks come as the total number of global coronavirus cases has topped 102 million, while the deaths have surged to more than 2.20 million, according to the Johns Hopkins University.
In its latest update on Saturday morning, the University’s Center for Systems Science and Engineering revealed that the current global caseload and death toll stood at 102,007,480 and 2,204,494, respectively. (IANS)

Heart Disease Risk: Women Under 55 With Diabetes

Women, who are under 55, with Type-2 diabetes are at greater risk of developing coronary heart disease, a new study suggests. The study indicates that women, who are less than 55 years and Type-2 diabetes, had a tenfold greater risk of having coronary heart disease over the next two decades, with lipoprotein insulin resistance (LPIR) proving to be a strong, predictive biomarker as well.
“We’re going to see, unfortunately, younger and younger people having heart attacks,” said co-author Samia Mora, Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School in the US. “When a younger individual has a cardiovascular event, it will affect their quality of life going forward, their productivity, and their contribution to society,” Mora added.
Follow NewsGram on Instagram to keep yourself updated.
For the study, published in the journal JAMA Cardiology, the researchers analyzed more than 50 risk factors in 28,024 women who participated in the decade-long study. The team analyzed approximately 50 biomarkers associated with cardiovascular health.
Commonly used metrics like low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (or “bad” cholesterol) and hemoglobin A1C (a measure of blood sugar levels) had much weaker associations with coronary heart disease onset in women younger than 55 years than LPIR, a newer metric for insulin resistance.

LPIR uses a weighted combination of six lipoprotein measures and is analyzed through specialized laboratory testing. Whereas LDL cholesterol was only associated with a 40 percent increase in risk of coronary heart disease onset in women under 55, LPIR demonstrated a sixfold (600 per cent) increase.
“Diabetes is mostly preventable, but it’s a systems-wide problem, and we urgently need further research into new strategies to address it,” Mora said.
“These could be innovative lifestyle-based strategies, like community efforts, greater public health efforts, ways to medically target metabolic pathways, or new surgical approaches,” Mora noted. (IANS)

Music director duo Manmeet Singh and Harmeet Singh, popularly known as Meet Brothers, say that they always loved singing, and what drove them a long way into their careers was their passion for music and perseverance.
The makers of popular songs like ‘Baby Doll’ and ‘Chittiyaan Kalaiyaan’ are judging season 3 of Smule Mirchi Cover Star. The season aims at identifying and giving a platform to each one irrespective of the place or situation they are in at any point and allows contestants to participate from the comfort of their home through the Smule app.
Follow NewsGram on LinkedIn to know what’s happening around the world.
According to the organizers, the contest’s idea is to break the geographical barriers and connect aspiring musicians to the world of Bollywood music, where there is a perpetual demand for fresh voices. The show features some of the prominent names from the music industry such as Meet Brothers, Kanika Kapoor, Harshdeep Kaur, and Neeti Mohan who will wear the judges’ hats for this season to discover new singing sensations.
Excited about producing and composing a song for a fresh new voice, Meet Bros said, “Smule Mirchi Cover Star is an amazing platform for those who love singing, just the way we do. We are sure in 2021, India is going to get a new voice that will move mountains. This is our association with them for the third time and we are looking forward to seeing and hearing the talent that comes from the whole of India. We are excited to not only be a part of the contest as judges but also as mentors to the winner and our performance at the Mirchi Music Awards. This platform also encourages us to create more and more music for our listeners.”
Excerpts from an IANSlife chat with Meet Brothers:
Q: How did you discover your own voice? How was it like initially?
A: We always loved singing. What drove us a long way was our passion for music and perseverance. It’s very important to keep practicing and being patient. Also grabbing the right opportunity is a must.
Q: You’re judging the Smule Mirchi Cover Star Season 3; What are your expectations from fresh talent? Apart from the virtues of good singing, what other qualities go into the making of a successful singer?
A: Like every year, we are expecting some really great and fresh voices from across the country. Music is very subjective and picking up just one voice is very difficult. Along with singing, what also matters is your persona, how are you when you are off the stage, how are you carrying yourself, your personality when you are singing is what matters a lot.
Q: Compared to a few years back, do you think it’s now easier for hidden talent to come up to the surface and get noticed?

"Music director duo Manmeet Singh and Harmeet Singh, popularly known as Meet Brothers, say that they always loved singing, and what drove them a long way into their careers was their passion for music and perseverance.\nThe makers of popular songs like ‘Baby Doll’ and ‘Chittiyaan Kalaiyaan’ are judging season 3 of Smule Mirchi Cover Star. The season aims at identifying and giving a platform to each one irrespective of the place or situation they are in at any point and allows contestants to participate from the comfort of their home through the Smule app.\nFollow NewsGram on LinkedIn to know what’s happening around the world.\nAccording to the organizers, the contest’s idea is to break the geographical barriers and connect aspiring musicians to the world of Bollywood music, where there is a perpetual demand for fresh voices. The show features some of the prominent names from the music industry such as Meet Brothers, Kanika Kapoor, Harshdeep Kaur, and Neeti Mohan who will wear the judges’ hats for this season to discover new singing sensations.\nExcited about producing and composing a song for a fresh new voice, Meet Bros said, “Smule Mirchi Cover Star is an amazing platform for those who love singing, just the way we do. We are sure in 2021, India is going to get a new voice that will move mountains. This is our association with them for the third time and we are looking forward to seeing and hearing the talent that comes from the whole of India. We are excited to not only be a part of the contest as judges but also as mentors to the winner and our performance at the Mirchi Music Awards. This platform also encourages us to create more and more music for our listeners.”\nExcerpts from an IANSlife chat with Meet Brothers:\nQ: How did you discover your own voice? How was it like initially?\nA: We always loved singing. What drove us a long way was our passion for music and perseverance. It’s very important to keep practicing and being patient. Also grabbing the right opportunity is a must.\nQ: You’re judging the Smule Mirchi Cover Star Season 3; What are your expectations from fresh talent? Apart from the virtues of good singing, what other qualities go into the making of a successful singer?\nA: Like every year, we are expecting some really great and fresh voices from across the country. Music is very subjective and picking up just one voice is very difficult. Along with singing, what also matters is your persona, how are you when you are off the stage, how are you carrying yourself, your personality when you are singing is what matters a lot.\nQ: Compared to a few years back, do you think it’s now easier for hidden talent to come up to the surface and get noticed?\nALSO READ: Common Parasite In Uncooked Food May Cause Brain Cancer\nA: With platforms like Smule Mirchi Cover Star, definitely yes!

Remodeling Your Home With Lights And Mirrors

Remodeling your home is a strenuous task and can take months to complete, especially if you have a 9 to 6 job. But with ingenuity and without buying expensive things, your home can get a perfect makeover just by adding lights and mirrors to give it a more sophisticated appearance.
Heena Jain, Head Design Consultant, WoodenStreet explains the ways and positions, where you can place the mirrors to give your space a luxury makeover.
Follow NewsGram on Facebook to stay updated.
Mirrors
Lights & mirrors: A clutter-free home decor setup on a budget. Mirrors can never be enough in a house if you want to create something fascinating on a low budget. There are various rooms in the house that can be changed with a tinge of mirrors and lights.
Living Room – Buy a mirror that is large in size and has a bulky borderline. Choose a bright color or according to your home decor theme. A living room has many places to accommodate a large mirror but find a place where the window is in the center. Position the mirror carefully and remove everything that is excess on the eyes. It will expand the symmetry of the room and will create an illusion of a hall.
Dining Room – Dining rooms generally do not entertain mirrors but if you have made your mind on it, then bring a square-shaped designer mirror that goes well with the kitchen. If you have a dining table in or close to your kitchen, then it will be more appropriate to use a mirror on the side end of the table or a cabinet would be perfect. The mirror creates an effect of more people while you dine.
Bedroom – The bedroom is the most suitable place for hanging a mirror. Now, it depends on the room dimensions and space available to choose what type of mirror suits your bedroom. If the room is spacious then, you can opt for the flowered-shaped circular mirror on the back wall of your bed. If your room size is small then bring an average-sized mirror and place it near the window, which will scatter the light throughout the room.
Hallway – It is reasonable to hang a mirror in the hallway or lobby but in an artistic manner. Go for a small set of mirrors in symmetrical shapes and it will instantly complement your hallway.
Lights
The functionality of light is far more crucial than we think because whatever decor you decide to implement in your home until there is alleviated lighting, your interiors will not be up to the mark. Therefore, lights play a major role in highlighting what’s behind the door.
Living room – The usual ceiling lights in your home only highlight the furniture with a faded sparkle, while if you go for ambient lightings, such as a table lamp, wall-mounted lamp, or a hanging lamp then it acts like a spotlight and highlights the perfections of your decor. The major reason behind choosing perfect lighting is that it doesn’t light up every corner of the house rather it creates an effect of organized space for any outsider.
For the living room choose some hanging lights like a chandelier or fancy lamps, right around the corners of a ceiling fan. It will reimburse the light on the furniture with yellow and orange shades, so your space look akin to a luxury boutique hotel.
Dining room – This is the place where the light is required the most, and people do quite the opposite because they think it is an unnecessary expenditure. But it is not true at all, as light brightens up the entire dining area, and makes it convenient to relish the drinks and food. If you have a separate dining room area then go for wall mounted lights, which deliver an opulent vibe to the area. If you have an interconnected kitchen and dining table then choose some floor lamps that complement the kitchen cabinets and dining table. You will see for yourself, the difference in an organization before and after the makeover. It is the added advantage of proper and smart lighting, that percolates the lights through reflective surfaces and builds an apparition that classifies the space.
Bedroom – The lights in the bedroom should be selected very carefully as it marks personal territory. Try and keep your bedroom organized so that lights will impose a kinetic effect on the decor of the space, which in turn demarcates the organized and unorganized area. It is very important to keep the light source adjacent to the walls, in order for the light to scatter. There is already a source of ambient lighting in your bedroom the side table lamp. But you have to bring in some hanging lights for low lighting and tidy space.

Hallway – The hallway is the most visited space of the home, as it connects every room in the house. Yet, we put the most terrible lighting in the hallway, because it is hardly occupied in terms of possessions, but it shouldn’t be like that. Purchase some fancy and designer wall mounted lights that will transform the place.
Every house has its particulars, but it doesn’t mean you have to remain unorganized and untidy all the time. The lights and mirrors do have the capacity to present your home in a more chic way. Eventually, rooms need to be organized with various furniture like cabinets and a chest of drawers or wardrobes as well. (IANS)

Ladies, if you have a greater number of lifetime sexual partners, there’s good news for you. A new study has revealed that such women are less likely to experience sexual dysfunction in life.
In contrast, women with more anxious behavior during sexual activities and those with more severe menopause symptoms were more at risk for sexual dysfunction, the researchers noted.

According to them, sexual dysfunction often accompanies the menopause transition. Yet, not all women experience it the same.
The new study, published in Menopause: The Journal of the North American Menopause Society (NAMS), identified the determinants that affect a woman’s risk of sexual dysfunction and sought to determine the effectiveness of hormone therapy in decreasing that risk and modifying sexual behavior.
These results are consistent with the findings of prior studies.
The results “emphasize that factors other than the use of hormone therapy, such as higher importance of sex, positive attitudes toward sex, satisfaction with one’s partner and fewer genitourinary symptoms associated with menopause appear to be protective and are linked to better sexual function across the menopause transition,” said researcher Stephanie Faubion, Medical Director of North American Menopause Society (NAMS), Ohio.

For the study, the researchers involved more than 200 women aged between 45 to 55 years.
Hormone therapy was not found to mitigate the risk of sexual dysfunction, nor did it play a major role in determining sexual behaviors.
However, women using hormone therapy typically had higher body-esteem during sexual activities; better sexual function in all domains, except for desire/interest; better quality of relationships; and fewer sexual complaints (other than arousal problems) than those women who do not.

Interest Rates, Inflation, Market Interventions Weakened The Rupee
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com

India’s interest rates, high inflation, and Reserve Bank’s market interventions weakened the rupee despite a massive inflow of direct and market-linked foreign investments during the pandemic-impacted year.
While major Asian currencies have appreciated against the US dollar such as the Chinese yuan by 6.10 percent, Korean won by 5.50 percent, and Malaysian ringgit by 1 percent, the Indian rupee depreciated by 3.10 percent. It closed 2020 at 73.07 to a greenback.

“In the first half of 2020, there was a massive sell-off in the market due to the lockdown. Later, investors realized that lower crude oil prices and reduced imports were positive for India,” said Sajal Gupta, Head, Forex and Rates, Edelweiss Securities.
“However, that realization and the investments that followed into the Indian market was too late as the rupee was not able to fully pare its initial losses. Additionally, RBI intervention also played a role in keeping the rupee subdued.”
Lately, FIIs inflows have powered a rally in equities and gave an appreciation push to the rupee. The FIIs have so far this month invested over $22 billion in the equities segment.
“The infusion of liquidity on the local front along with the pick-up in global economic indicators and coronavirus vaccine attracted a slew of FII inflows into the Indian stock market,” said Emkay Global Financial Services’ Head of Research, Currency, Rahul Gupta.
“Despite these massive flows, the rupee remained on a depreciating bias mainly on RBI intervention to support the export competitiveness and avoid cheap imports.”

On the other hand, India’s forex reserves continued to rise due to the RBI’s interventions. India’s forex reserves swelled up by $123.66 billion to $581.13 billion in the calendar year. The RBI is known to enter the markets via intermediaries to either sell or buy US dollars to keep the rupee in a stable orbit. Recently, the Reserve Bank was called out by the US Treasury Department to curtail its market activities.
“Currency rates between two nations move as per prevailing inflation and interest differentials. India has higher inflation compared to the US and hence Indian currency is expected to depreciate compared to the US dollar,” HDFC Securities’ Deputy Head of Retail Research Devarsh Vakil said. “Though central bank intervention and fund flow play a role in determining the direction.” (IANS)

Perilous Eating Disorder: Do You Know About Bulimia Nersova
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com
|
The most recent Netflix series ‘The Crown’, throws light on Princess Diana’s fight with an eating disorder – Bulimia Nervosa, a perilous eating disorder of bingeing and then purging the food. This condition is a rising concern seen among young people today, and numerous such cases are currently being accounted for in India. Eating disorders are common but under-diagnosed conditions and are classified into different types based on clinical features.
Bulimia nervosa is one of the most prevalent eating disorders and predominantly affects females (up to 2 percent of females) of which 95 percent are in the 12-25-year age group, Dr. Pramod Krishnan – Consultant and HOD – Neurology, Manipal Hospitals tells IANSlife. However, the incidence in males is increasing, he points out.
Follow NewsGram on Twitter to stay updated about the World news.
Since Bulimia is a disorder that can go unnoticed among parents, the expert shares the signs to watch out for:
Recurrent episodes of uncontrolled binge eating (consuming an abnormally large portion of food in a short period of time) associated with compensatory behaviors like self-induced vomiting, exercise, fasting, and purging using laxatives.
These episodes should occur at least once a week for a minimum period of 3 months to qualify for a diagnosis of bulimia nervosa. The cause of this condition is unknown and is probably multifactorial involving environmental influences like societal idealization and emphasis on body shape, anxiety, personality disorders, and sometimes, childhood sexual abuse. Genetic factors related to neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine may play a role.
Patients often feel they are ‘fat’ and are unduly concerned about their body image, like body weight and shape. They develop weight fluctuations, swelling of feet, parotid gland enlargement, dental erosions, and calluses on fingers due to episodes of binge eating and induced vomiting. They often develop complex eating and exercise routines with frequent visits to the bathroom. Depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorders are commonly associated with conditions.

Tests for metabolic and hormonal abnormalities are required as these complications may arise from eating and purging habits. Patients with bulimia nervosa have a higher mortality rate compared to the general population. The treatment requires a multi-disciplinary approach working in sync with the patient and family, involving:
Psychologists, psychiatrists, physicians, and nutritionists specializing in adolescent medicine. Psychotherapy is the foundation for the successful treatment of bulimia nervosa. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy are proven therapies for bulimia nervosa. Mindfulness practices like meditation and yoga are also helpful. Medications like SSRIs may be useful in patients with psychiatric symptoms or not responding to psychotherapy. About 80 percent of patients recover with therapy but 20 percent may relapse and may be challenging to manage. (IANS)

We all are aware of how society plays an important role in all our lives. Our life is bonded with norms of the society, these norms are strange at times. Some of them have been followed for ages and make no sense at this point in time. If we want to give them a name, stereotypical notions would be a perfect one.
One of such stereotypes is how people decide what a person should or should not do on the basis of their gender. A judgment or bias is passed on to the people who do not follow these, there exists unequal or unfair treatment to people because of their gender.

Personality Bias
Generally, women are expected to be feminine, emotional, patient, understanding, sensible, must adjust as per the situation is. Whereas, men are expected to be masculine in nature, aggressive, confident, productive, physically strong, must not cry because crying is considered to be a feminine trait.
If a woman is harsh, aggressive, and not emotional then she is considered on the bad side of society. If a man cries or is scared of anything then he is judged to be a weak person.
Domestic Behaviors Bias
A lot of people believe that women are meant to be at home. The life of a woman is defined by marriage and being a good wife and mother. Clean, cook, and take care of children. Whereas men are meant to go out and work and earn money to spend on his family.
Anybody who does this differently is judged to be modernized and what an individual wants from his or her own life is never valued. Society always defines us from our behavior which is decided by society itself.

Google Maps Improves Discoverability In Indian Languages
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com
|
Google Maps on Wednesday said it has incorporated an ensemble of learning models that automatically transliterate the names of points of interest (POIs) to 10 prominent local languages, making it easier for Indian language users to find the things they look for at Maps.
This new feature will enable millions to issue queries in their own language and find information on Maps such as restaurants, petrol pumps, hospitals, grocery stores, banks, bus stops, train stations, and numerous other services, Google said.
Follow NewsGram on Facebook to stay updated.
By using automatic transliteration from the Latin script (English) name of points of interest, Maps now displays their names in Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi, and Odia.
“To make Google Maps as helpful as possible for millions of Indian language users, we’ve introduced an updated automatic transliteration system that enables us to deliver more accurate results when users search for POIs in their preferred language,” Cibu Johny, Software Engineer, Google Maps, said in a statement.
“In a country where names of establishments are written with words from multiple languages and acronyms, phonetically mapping these words into their native language will help us more accurately surface the results that local language users are looking for.”
ALSO READ: New Google Maps Updates Related to COVID Layer
Explaining how the feature works, he added, “Common English words are frequently used in names of places in India, even when written in the native script. How the name is written in these scripts is largely driven by its pronunciation. For example, NIT written in Hindi is pronounced “en-aye-tee”, not as the English word “nit”.
Therefore by understanding that NIT is a common acronym from the region, Maps can derive the correct transliteration. In the past when Maps could not understand the context of NIT when written in Hindi, it would instead show a related entity that might be farther away from the user. It is important to note that the transliterated POI names are not translations. Transliteration is only concerned with writing the same words in a different script. (IANS)

10 Naturopathy And Yoga Tips To Help People With Diabetes
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com
|
People with diabetes face a real challenge during the winter season. The cold weather coupled with reduced physical activity puts stress on the body, causing it to go into a fight-or-flight mode. This results in the release of natural survival hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. Consequently, the liver releases more glucose for energy leading to increased blood sugar levels.
Dr. H.P. Bharathi, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Jindal Naturecure Institute says: “Presently, more than 50 million people in India have diabetes and it is expected to go over 6 crores by 2025. So, there’s a big challenge in front of the country to tackle this rising concern. A naturopathic approach to recommending specific behavioral changes can help in the effective management of diabetes during the winters.”

He shares 10 naturopathy and yoga tips that can help people with diabetes during the cold season.
1. Diet
A well-balanced diet is crucial to keep diabetes in control no matter the season. It is recommended to include plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lentils, beans, and oatmeal. Sweets and fatty foods should be avoided. Also, diabetics should refrain from consuming dry fruits as the fructose in them may spike the sugar level.
2. Sufficient Hydration
It is essential to keep the body hydrated at all times to get rid of the excess glucose through urine. Water should be the primary beverage choice as other beverages are loaded with preservatives and sugar.
3. Yoga
The ancient practice of yoga can work wonders on the body, helping people with diabetes to keep the disease under control and lead a normal, happy life. Science has shown that specific yoga poses that involve the twisting and stretching of the internal muscles and organs stimulate the pancreas and endocrine system. This facilitates insulin secretion, which keeps the blood glucose levels under check.
4. Alternative Treatments
Alternative treatment methods like acupuncture, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, etc., can restore harmony to the body in several ways. Acupuncture, where thin needles inserted into specific points in the body, can help with weight loss, control blood sugar levels, and reduce insulin resistance. Physiotherapy and hydrotherapy promote neurological and musculoskeletal functions that aids in weight loss reduces stress levels, and lowers blood pressure.
5. Proper Sleep
Sound sleep is vital as the body relies on it to repair itself from exposure to toxins, daily stressors, and much more. Diabetics should aim for at least 6-7 hours of continuous sleep daily to let the body recuperate from damages and boost the immune system.
6. Mental Health
Those affected with diabetes live with a lot of stress. It can cause spurts of anxiety, mood change, confusion, and depression. The American Diabetes Association says that Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) may occur during winters; however, it is treatable. Spending time with loved ones, indulging in hobbies, or getting professional help are some of the ways through which diabetics can find relief.
7. Personal Hygiene
To maintain personal hygiene, people with diabetes should wash their hands frequently and thoroughly with a natural soap. Apart from that, saline rinses using a Neti pot should also be practiced as it keeps the respiratory passages clear.
8. Lose Weight
Obesity can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 80-85 percent. For people with obesity, the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin to meet the body’s needs.

"People with diabetes face a real challenge during the winter season. The cold weather coupled with reduced physical activity puts stress on the body, causing it to go into a fight-or-flight mode. This results in the release of natural survival hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. Consequently, the liver releases more glucose for energy leading to increased blood sugar levels.\nDr. H.P. Bharathi, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Jindal Naturecure Institute says: “Presently, more than 50 million people in India have diabetes and it is expected to go over 6 crores by 2025. So, there’s a big challenge in front of the country to tackle this rising concern. A naturopathic approach to recommending specific behavioral changes can help in the effective management of diabetes during the winters.”\nFollow NewsGram on Instagram to keep yourself updated.\nHe shares 10 naturopathy and yoga tips that can help people with diabetes during the cold season.\n1. Diet\nA well-balanced diet is crucial to keep diabetes in control no matter the season. It is recommended to include plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lentils, beans, and oatmeal. Sweets and fatty foods should be avoided. Also, diabetics should refrain from consuming dry fruits as the fructose in them may spike the sugar level.\n2. Sufficient Hydration\nIt is essential to keep the body hydrated at all times to get rid of the excess glucose through urine. Water should be the primary beverage choice as other beverages are loaded with preservatives and sugar.\n3. Yoga\nThe ancient practice of yoga can work wonders on the body, helping people with diabetes to keep the disease under control and lead a normal, happy life. Science has shown that specific yoga poses that involve the twisting and stretching of the internal muscles and organs stimulate the pancreas and endocrine system. This facilitates insulin secretion, which keeps the blood glucose levels under check.\n4. Alternative Treatments\nAlternative treatment methods like acupuncture, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, etc., can restore harmony to the body in several ways. Acupuncture, where thin needles inserted into specific points in the body, can help with weight loss, control blood sugar levels, and reduce insulin resistance. Physiotherapy and hydrotherapy promote neurological and musculoskeletal functions that aids in weight loss reduces stress levels, and lowers blood pressure.\n5. Proper Sleep\nSound sleep is vital as the body relies on it to repair itself from exposure to toxins, daily stressors, and much more. Diabetics should aim for at least 6-7 hours of continuous sleep daily to let the body recuperate from damages and boost the immune system.\n6. Mental Health\nThose affected with diabetes live with a lot of stress. It can cause spurts of anxiety, mood change, confusion, and depression. The American Diabetes Association says that Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) may occur during winters; however, it is treatable. Spending time with loved ones, indulging in hobbies, or getting professional help are some of the ways through which diabetics can find relief.\n7. Personal Hygiene\nTo maintain personal hygiene, people with diabetes should wash their hands frequently and thoroughly with a natural soap. Apart from that, saline rinses using a Neti pot should also be practiced as it keeps the respiratory passages clear.\n8. Lose Weight\nObesity can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 80-85 percent. For people with obesity, the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin to meet the body’s needs. Therefore, losing weight becomes the only option to stay healthy and fit. Regular exercise, brisk walks, etc., should be incorporated into daily life to get rid of excess weight.\n9. Avoid Immune Suppressing Foods\nDiabetics should stay away from high-fat food, alcohol, caffeine, and white sugar, suppressing the immune system’s effects.

Save Planet, Turn Off Your Camera During Virtual Call

Turning off your camera during a virtual meeting can do a lot to reduce your carbon footprint, a new study suggests. The study, published in the journal ‘Resources, Conservation and Recycling’, showed that switching off your camera during a web call can reduce a person’s carbon footprints by 96 percent.
“If you just focus on one type of footprint, you miss out on others that can provide a more holistic look at environmental impact,” said researcher Roshanak “Roshi” Nateghi, Professor at Purdue University in the US. According to the researchers, streaming content in standard definition rather than in high definition while using apps such as Netflix or Hulu also could bring an 86 percent reduction.

For the study, the team estimated the carbon, water, and land footprints associated with each gigabyte of data used in YouTube, Zoom, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and 12 other platforms, as well as in online gaming and miscellaneous web surfing. As expected, the more video used in an application, the larger the footprints, the researchers said. The internet’s carbon footprint had already been increasing before Covid-19 lockdowns, accounting for about 3.7 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

But the water and land footprints of internet infrastructure have largely been overlooked in studies of how internet use impacts the environment, the researcher said. The researchers investigated these footprints and how they might be affected by increased internet traffic, finding that the footprints not only vary from one web platform to another, but also for countries. The team gathered data for Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Iran, Japan, Mexico, Pakistan, Russia, South Africa, the UK and the US.
Processing and transmitting internet data in the US, the researchers found, has a carbon footprint that is 9 percent higher than the world median, but water and land footprints that are 45 percent and 58 percent lower, respectively. (IANS)

Obesity: Major issue for mental health in teens

If you are obese, there are chances that it may lead to some mental health issues, as a new study suggests that half of all young people treated for severe obesity have a neuropsychiatric problem.
The study, published in the journal Acta Paediatrica, indicated that over half of the parents estimated that their obese teenagers had difficulties resembling ADHD and/or autism, despite only a few of them having been previously diagnosed with these conditions.

“Symptoms of ADHD mean that the person has difficulty with impulse control. This increases the risk of eating without being hungry and the tendency to opt for quick solutions such as fast food,” said researcher Kajsa Jarvholm from Lund University in Sweden.
For the study, the team involved 48 teenagers (73 per cent girls), with an average age of 15 and an average BMI of 42, which is severe obesity. Half of the participants received medical treatment for obesity, while the other half underwent surgery. The teenagers’ parents completed questionnaires to measure their children’s symptoms of ADHD and autism. The adolescents themselves responded to questions about binge eating and symptoms of depression.
“People on the autism spectrum are sometimes more selective in their eating than others. They only accept certain dishes but may eat more of them as a result,” she said. One-fifth of the adolescents reported suffering symptoms of depression. One-third of them reported problems with binge eating, which is a loss of control resulting in the person eating large quantities of food in a short time.
“Contrary to our expectations, the adolescents with neuropsychiatric difficulties did not have more problems with binge eating and depression than the other adolescents in the group,” said Jarvholm.

Altogether, the information provided by the parents and adolescents revealed that two-thirds of the patients in the study had difficulties arising from neuropsychiatric problems, binge eating and/or depression.

For most people, winter is usually their favorite time of the year. Along with enjoying the chill in the air, one needs to also be careful about the quality of the air you’re breathing, since the AQI levels rise during this time. Impurities in the air enter the respiratory system by inhalation, causing disastrous effects in people from all age groups.
Hygiene and personal wellness have become an important part of everyone’s lifestyle in the current situation. Washing hands every time we return home is now essential.

So, it is important to include nasal sanitization in your daily hygiene routine – not only when you come home but even if you haven’t stepped out at all. Here are a few quick and effective tricks to ensure you breathe well to stay healthy!
Nasal wash to the rescue!
Saline sprays rinse out impurities and debris stuck in your nasal passage and helps in preventing allergies and symptoms like sinus infections. A nasal wash also helps in moisturizing your dry nose, especially in winter.
Additionally, if you are on any steroids or medications to treat nasal allergies, it is advisable to rinse your nose with saline before using them. It will clear out debris/mucus and help the medication work better.
Minimize the exposure to air pollutants
Prevention is always better than cure. So why not cut down the exposure to the pollutants?

Nearly 3 in 4 Indians feel safe while joining any group or channel on Telegram as they don’t need to reveal their phone number to strangers, according to a new survey.
The telegram which has crossed 600 million users globally scores over Signal in terms of awareness (55 percent) and actual usage (39 percent).
Follow NewsGram on Facebook to stay updated
Over the past year, 37 percent of users in India have actually used Telegram, compared to a mere 10 percent for Signal, a rather nascent messaging app that is enjoying a spike in downloads in recent days, according to the survey by CyberMedia Research (CMR).
“As WhatsApp eventually moves into a much closer integration with the Facebook ecosystem from hereon, it risks an erosion in brand trust and brand loyalty both key determinants for enduring competitive market advantage,” said Prabhu Ram, Head-Industry Intelligence Group (IIG), CMR.
According to the findings, the majority of users on WhatsApp and FB Messenger do not feel convenient and safe while storing their chat backup on third-party or non-end-to-end encrypted platforms such as Google Drive or iCloud.
Among the alternatives, Telegram users retain high trust in the dedicated cloud that Telegram offers (49 percent).
Nearly 55 percent of WhatsApp users face the challenge of media files (photos, videos, documents, PPT) from messenger apps, eating up the phone memory.
“Almost 50 percent of those surveyed have received suspicious messages from unknown numbers, with potential phishing, malicious links. The occurrence of phishing is high among WhatsApp users (52 percent), and lowest amongst Telegram users (28 percent),” the survey noted.
The occurrence of spam is high with incumbents, with nearly 50 percent of WhatsApp and FB Messenger users facing spams daily.
“For instance, 73 percent of WhatsApp users feel helpless to counter illegal, abusive and copyrighted content, whereas Telegram users are most acknowledged while reporting such content through in-app buttons, and an Abuse Notification Channel,” the CMR eSocial Safe’ survey mentioned.

Telegram, in particular, has gained traction among users over the past year, much before the “recent WhatsApp PR fiasco”.
“While Signal has enjoyed a recent burst in its popularity, it has not been able to scale swiftly enough, and users have faced challenges with it,” Ram said. (IANS)

Improvements In Facebook AI To Aid Visually Impaired
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com
|
Facebook has announced new improvements in its artificial intelligence (AI) technology to generate descriptions of photos posted on its platforms including Instagram for the visually-impaired users.
Way back in 2016, Facebook introduced a new technology called automatic alternative text (AAT) that utilizes object recognition to generate descriptions of photos on demand so that blind or visually impaired individuals can more fully enjoy their News Feed.
Follow NewsGram on Facebook to stay updated.
“We’ve been improving it ever since and are excited to unveil the next generation of AAT,” the company said in a statement late on Tuesday.
The improved AAT reliably recognizes over 1,200 concepts — more than 10 times as many as the original version launched in 2016.
The company has expanded the number of concepts that AAT can reliably detect and identify in a photo by more than 10 times, which means fewer photos without a description.
“Descriptions are also more detailed, with the ability to identify activities, landmarks, types of animals, and so forth,” the social network said.
“These advancements help users who are blind or visually impaired better understand what’s in photos posted by their family and friends — and in their own photos — by providing more (and more detailed) information”.
For the latest iteration of AAT, Facebook leveraged a model trained on weakly supervised data in the form of billions of public Instagram images and their hashtags.

To make the models work better for everyone, the company fine-tuned them so that data was sampled from images across all geographies, and using translations of hashtags in many languages.
“We also evaluated our concepts along gender, skin tone, and age axes. The resulting models are both more accurate and culturally and demographically inclusive,” the company informed. (IANS)

National Voters' Day 2021: Here's Everything You Need To Know!
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com
|
The day of the dignified Voters of India, The National Voters’ Day is celebrated every year since 2011 all across the nation to mark the establishment day of the Election Commission of India on January 25, 1950.
The main aim of the National Voters’ Day celebration is to encourage, facilitate and maximize enrollment of the Indian Voters, especially for the new voters.
It is a day dedicated to the voters of the country and is utilized to spread awareness among voters and for promoting informed voters’ participation in the electoral process. New voters are felicitated and handed over their Elector Photo Identity Card in the National Voters’ Day functions.
Importance of Voting
The hallmark of a vibrant democracy is the power and the ability of the people to exercise their franchise freely and fearlessly. In many countries, the ‘right to vote’ is a fundamental right, but in India, it is just a legal right. All should, however, regard that exercising one’s franchise is a sacred duty.
As a democratic country, India is built on the foundations of the election. Our Parliament and Legislatures are of the people, by the people, and for the people. Voting is a constitutional right that we are privileged to have. We take it for granted, but the constitution has given us the right to elect who we want, and the right to make the change.
How the National Voters’ Day 2021 is going to be celebrated?
Honorable President of India Shri Ram Nath Kovind will confer the national awards for the year 2020-21. The national award for the Best Electoral Practices will be conferred on state and district level officers for their magnificent performance in the conduct of elections in different spheres such as IT initiatives, security management, election management during the unprecedented times of COVID, accessible election, and contribution in the field of voter awareness and outreach. The national awards will also be given to important stakeholders like national icons, CSOs (Central Statistics Office), and media groups for their valuable contribution towards voters’ awareness.

The Notable Cinematic Efforts Based On The Life Of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com

The legend of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, his life and persona, even death, never ceases to amaze filmmakers. Various facets of his life have been explored on screens big and small over the decades, many more are waiting to be told.
More than seven decades after his death, the mystique of Netaji is still being unraveled. With the advent of OTT, exploring any biopic beyond the mere life story of the subject has become easy. In the case of Netaji, more so. His is a life that lends itself naturally to drama.
From being rusticated from Kolkata’s prestigious Presidency College for his famous assault on history Professor EF Oaten for the latter’s racist comments against “natives”, to the great escape from house arrest at his Elgin Road home in the guise of a Muslim insurance agent, and from his getting away to Germany via Afghanistan and the Soviet Union, to the mystery that remained associated with his death for years after he passed away, Netaji’s story never fell short of intrigue.
Follow NewsGram on Twitter to stay updated about the World news.
Above all, there was the undying love for the country that made him a national hero.
While many filmmakers have attempted to capture the essence of Bose on screen, most of the Bollywood trade, too, would like to see more work on the iconic freedom fighter. Apart from providing ready material for the script — something Bollywood always hungers for — most in the film business circle, which works as a connection between audience demand and industry supply, feel there are many perspectives that can be explored further, to take the Bollywood biopic as a genre to the next level.
“There has been only one series, with Rajkummar Rao, dedicated to Netaji in recent times that can be recalled. Netaji’s persona is huge. There are so many unsaid things about him, which people still are unaware of. There are many story ideas that need to be explored, and many perspectives that can still be explored. (The possibility is) quite immense,” film trade analyst Girish Johar told IANS.
Ahead of the 125th birth anniversary of Netaji on January 23, we take a look at the notable cinematic efforts based on the life of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose:
BOSE DEAD/ALIVE
Creative producer Hansal Mehta’s 2017 miniseries, based on Anuj Dhar’s 2012 book, “India’s Biggest Cover-Up”, cast Rajkummar Rao as Netaji. Created by Ekta Kapoor, the show tries probing the mystery behind the freedom fighter’s death, recalling how, shortly after his death, his family in Kolkata receive a telegram from Mahatma Gandhi to not conduct his last rites. The show is an attempt to understand Netaji’s disappearance.
“Our intention is to portray Bose as a contemporary hero, a rebel who worked in different ways, thereby making him relevant and a part of today’s youth,” Mehta had said at the time of the show’s release.
GUMNAAMI
New-age Bengali maverick Srijit Mukherji’s 2019 film stars Bengali superstar Prosenjit as Netaji and explores answers to various elements of mystery surrounding the disappearance and death of Netaji, besides throwing light on his political beliefs and vision for India.
Based on the Mukherjee Commission Hearings that happened from 1999 to 2005, the story follows a journalist investigating Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s death and focuses on the freedom fighter’s uncanny resemblance to the controversial figure Gumnaami Baba. The film kicked up a minor storm upon release, with Netaji’s family objecting to such an allusion.
THE FORGOTTEN ARMY: AZAADI KE LIYE
Filmmaker Kabir Khan in 2020 focussed on Bose’s Indian National Army (INA), or Azad Hind Fauj, through the web series. With Sunny Kaushal and Sharavari leading the cast, the show narrates the true story of the men and women who fought for the independence of India as part of the INA.
“I’m not a great expert on Netaji. I’m just a normal person who has read books on him. But I feel a person like him would never remain ‘gumnam’. A person like him would always come out and do something for the country if he was alive and around,” Kabir had told IANS.
NETAJI SUBHAS CHANDRA BOSE: THE FORGOTTEN HERO
The biopic by Shyam Benegal featured Sachin Khedekar as Bose. The 2004 release has been the biggest film production on the leader to date. The film primarily explores India’s freedom struggle through his perspective. Benegal’s effort was a middling success and it received critical acclaim at the BFI London Film Festival. The film also features Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Rajit Kapur, Arif Zakaria, and Divya Dutta.
RAAG DESH
The periodic drama by Tigmanshu Dhulia is about the contribution of Subhas Chandra Bose’s Indian National Army (INA) in the independence struggle. The film stars Kunal Kapoor, Amit Sadh, Mohit Marwah, and Mrudula Murali, and was released in 2017.
SUBHAS CHANDRA
The 1966 biographical Bengali film is directed by Piyush Bose. Starring Amar Dutta, Samar Chatterjee, and Ashish Ghosh, the film narrates the life of a young Netaji, through his college days and political campaigns. The film goes on to capture Bose’s life through different phases.

SAMADHI
Starring Ashok Kumar, Nalini Jaywant, Shyam, Kuldip Kaur, Mubarak, David, Ram Prasad, and Shashi Kapoor, the 1950 spy thriller revolves around Subhash Chandra Bose’s attempt to get freedom, along with his Indian National Army. (IANS)

Researchers have published one of the first studies using a Machine Learning (ML) technique called “federated learning” to examine electronic health records to better predict how Covid-19 patients will progress.
The study, published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research – Medical Informatics, indicates that the emerging technique holds promise to create more robust machine learning models that extend beyond a single health system without compromising patient privacy.
These models, in turn, can help triage patients and improve the quality of their care.
“Machine Learning models in health care often require diverse and large-scale data to be robust and translatable outside the patient population they were trained on,” said co-author Benjamin Glicksberg, Assistant Professor at Mount Sinai.
“Machine Learning models in health care often require diverse and large-scale data to be robust and translatable outside the patient population they were trained on,” said co-author Benjamin Glicksberg, Assistant Professor at Mount Sinai.
Federated learning is a technique that trains an algorithm across multiple devices or servers holding local data samples but avoids clinical data aggregation, which is undesirable for reasons including patient privacy issues.
For the study, the researchers implemented and assessed federated learning models using data from electronic health records at five separate hospitals within the Health System to predict mortality in Covid-19 patients.

They compared the performance of a federated model against ones built using data from each hospital separately, referred to as local models.
After training their models on a federated network and testing the data of local models at each hospital, the researchers found the federated models demonstrated enhanced predictive power and outperformed local models at most of the hospitals. (IANS)

Study: Lack Of Managers Leads To Business Failures In India

Most firms in India and other developing countries are family-owned and often shun outside managers and that is why even successful businesses fail to grow in such countries, a new study suggests. The study shows that the lack of managerial delegation factors significantly into why businesses in India tend to stay small and this has wider implications on the country’s economy, constraining innovation, economic growth, and per capita income.
“Our analysis confirms that the absence of managerial delegation is a significant factor in why successful Indian businesses fail to grow, which reduces the overall productivity of the country’s economy,” said researcher Michael Peters from Yale University.

If Indian businesses used outside managers as efficiently as US businesses, it would boost economic productivity in India and increase the country’s per capita income by about 11 percent, according to the study published in the journal American Economic Review. For the study, the researchers focused their analysis on this disparity between size of firms in developed and developing countries.

They created a quantitative model that centers on the role of managerial delegation in firm growth. It incorporated plant-level data from the US and India and was calibrated to recognize that businesses in India might face higher barriers to growth, such as having less access to start-up capital than US businesses. In India, more than 9 out of 10 manufacturing businesses have fewer than four employees, and those small firms account for more than half of total employment.
In contrast, two-thirds of US manufacturing employment is concentrated in establishments with at least 100 employees, and only one-third of firms have fewer than four employees, according to the study. The researchers found that India’s economy suffers from “a lack of selection” — the process of creative destruction through which successful firms expand while unproductive firms close or are swallowed up by the competitors — allowing unproductive businesses to survive because successful businesses do not expand.

"Most firms in India and other developing countries are family-owned and often shun outside managers and that is why even successful businesses fail to grow in such countries, a new study suggests.

Cardiac Issues Including Heart Attack Rise By 50%
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com

As the mercury continues to fall in bone-chilling winter, a contrasting scenario is being reported in hospitals of Delhi-NCR. The fast-dipping temperature and post-COVID trauma have led to a rise in cases of heart-related issues. Hospitals are witnessing at least a 50 percent rise in such cases in comparison to last winter. The cases, including heart attacks and strokes, have significantly increased, doctors told IANS.
Medanta Hospital in Gurugram said that it has seen a 50 percent rise in patients coming with heart issues since the start of December. Aakash Healthcare in Delhi said that since the last two months, the average patient count coming with cardiac issues has increased in the hospital. It is now receiving an average of 500 patients since November which was around 300 patients in previous years during winters.

Indraprastha Apollo Hospital is also witnessing a spike in cases of heart attacks and angina in the past 3 weeks. Doctors said that extremely low temperature and post-COVID complications are the key contributors behind the reported rise in cardiac issues among the public.
“Frigid temperatures constrict blood vessels that increase blood pressure which makes it suffer a heart attack or stroke. Besides, Covid-19 is also playing a major factor since it affects the circulatory system of the body. If you catch the virus, you are at an increased risk of having a heart attack or stroke. COVID makes the blood thicker and hence blocks arteries,” Dr. Praveen Chandra, Chairman, Interventional Cardiology, at Medanta explained.
Dr. Anil Saxena, Director, Cardiology, Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, Delhi, said that the risk of rising in heart-related cases is a common phenomenon during winters. However, Covid-19 is aggravating the issue further this year. “Many patients with COVID infection are getting complications due to inflammation in the arteries and heart muscle itself. This may complicate matters for heart patients,” he added.
Dr. Ashish Agarwal, Head, Department of Cardiology at Aakash said that the COVID-19 has substantially affected the hearts of its patients, especially those with pre-existing heart problems or other comorbidities.
“Having an incurable viral infection like COVID-19 during winters can increase the risk of heart failure or heart attack. This is because blood vessels in the body become more constricted due to exposure to extremely cold temperatures in winters that can restrict blood flow to the body and to the heart,” he informed.
A study published in JAMA Cardiology medical journal claimed that 78 percent of Covid recovered patients have abnormalities in the heart while 60 percent have an ‘ongoing myocardial inflammation’. It also found higher levels of Troponins, the blood enzyme which indicates heart damage, among the study subjects.

Meanwhile, Indraprastha Apollo Hospital said that the numbers are also increasing since the patients, with existing heart ailments, who have been delaying regular check-ups amid the pandemic, are now coming with the aggrieved condition.
“While the dip in temperature is the major cause here, the pandemic has made this situation even grimmer. The patients with existing heart ailments who have been delaying regular check-ups are the worst-hit. They are turning in with aggravated condition of their disease,” said Dr. Mukesh Goel, senior consultant, Cardio-Thoracic Surgery at the hospital, told IANS.

Doctors advised that people with heart conditions and those who have recovered from COVID-19 in the past few months need to remain watchful and take extra care to prevent any fatal heart condition during winters.
“It is important to note that many patients with COVID infection have minimal symptoms but can still have sudden and severe complications. Therefore, one has to be especially watchful for any symptoms of heart disease. Any chest discomfort or sudden difficulty in breathing should not be neglected. One should seek medical care whenever such symptoms occur. Prompt treatment of heart disease can minimize damage to the heart and save lives,” Dr. Saxena cautioned.
“Patients should undergo regular screening tests to check their heart health. Besides, the standard of care practices should be applied, such as avoiding fried food and alcohol, layering of warm clothes, and regular exercise,” Dr. Agarwal advised. (IANS)

ITC Limited has set itself the target to meet 100 percent of purchased grid electricity requirements from renewable sources by 2030.
In line with its philosophy of ‘Responsible Competitiveness’, the Company has adopted a low carbon growth strategy that encompasses a large renewable energy footprint.
Follow NewsGram on Facebook to stay updated.
At present, ITC meets over 40 percent of its electrical energy requirement through renewable sources like wind, solar, and biomass. As a part of its Sustainability 2.0 Vision, ITC is planning to invest further in strengthening its renewable energy portfolio in order to contribute meaningfully to the fight against climate change.
In its endeavor to contribute to a ‘cleaner and greener’ environment, ITC has been expanding its renewable energy footprint over the past two decades. The company has already made significant investments in renewable energy assets (Wind and Solar projects combined). This will improve the Renewable Energy share of the company by an additional 6 percent from current levels.
The current renewables portfolio of ITC consists of 138 MW of wind power plants and 14 MW of Solar plants with ~53MW of additional solar capacity under execution. Projects are also underway in the area of other sources of renewable energy like a solar boiler or biomass boilers.

Higher Work Addiction May Lead To Risk Of Developing Depression
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com

If you are a workaholic, then there are chances you may suffer negative mental and physical health outcomes such as depression, anxiety, or sleep disorder, a new study suggests.
The study, published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, indicates that people with higher work addiction risk compared to people with low work addiction risk have twice the risk of developing depression. Sleep quality was lower to workers with a high risk of work addiction compared to workers with a low risk of work addiction. Also, women had almost twice the work addiction risk as men, the researchers said.

“We found that job demands could be the most important factor that can develop risk. So this factor should be controlled or should be investigated by the organization’s manager, for example, HR staff, psychologists,” said researcher Morteza Charkhabi from Higher School of Economics in Russia.
Workaholics are people who usually work seven and more hours more than others per week. For the study, the team aimed to demonstrate the extent to which the work addiction risk is associated with the perception of work (job demands and job control) and mental health in four job categories suggested by Karasek’s model or Job Demand-Control-Support model (JDCS).

The JDCS model assumes four various work environments (four quadrants) in which workers may experience a different level of job demands and job control: passive, low-strain, active, and tense/job-strain. Job control is the extent to which an employee feels control over doing work.
The researchers collected data from 187 out of 1,580 (11.8 percent) French workers who agreed to participate in a cross-sectional study. The team divided all the participants based on their occupational groups and investigated the link between work addiction risk and mental and physical health outcomes. The results show that high job demands at work are strongly associated with risk but the job control level does not play the same role. The prevalence of work addiction risk is higher for active and high-strain workers than for passive and low-strain workers. (IANS)

The theory of karma and punarjanma is a basic tenet of Hinduism. The principle behind it is- As you sow, so you reap. Punarjamna is regulated by prārabdhakarma (karma that has started giving results). Hinduism accepts the regression of a soul into animal bodies, but only to exhaust bad karmas, before being born again in a human body. When the Jīvātmā (soul) of an individual leaves his body with all its upādhis (attributes and adjuncts) it is called Death.
By upādhis are meant the following four things. (i) The Sūkṣmaśarīra (the subtle body) that is, the Mind and the senses. (ii) The five Prāṇas namely Prāṇa, Apāna, Udāna, Vyāna and Samāna (iii) karma (action) and (iv) finally, the causal body -Prāṇamanovijñānakośasaṅghāta (the body that is the cause (ignorance of Brahman) for taking another body after death and is invisible with the grosser elements). All these four things follow the soul even after physical death. Only when the soul attains mokṣa (salvation) do the upādhis leave it. It is the life-breath Udāna that guides the soul out of the body. It is the Sūkṣmaśarīra that gives heat to the body while there is life and that is why when the soul leaves the body with the upādhis, the body becomes cold.

When the soul leaves the body with the upādhis it becomes active again and its activities and movements depend upon the actions of the soul while living. The spiritual actions of the individual are classified into three. (i) Aparabrahmopāsana. He who has done all his deeds according to scriptural injunctions is said to be one who has done upāsana of aparabrahma. When such an individual dies his/her soul with all the upādhis attains Candra loka. He goes to the place of Candra loka through dhūma (smoke), rātri (night), Kṛṣṇapakṣa (the dark fortnight), dakṣiṇāyanakāla (the sun’s passage south of the equator), pitṛuloka (world of the manes) and Ākāśa (ether). He enjoys the rewards of the deeds done on earth there and reserving some to be enjoyed or suffered in his next birth the soul with the upādhis comes back to earth to enter another body.
The soul comes back to earth through ether, vāyu, dhūma, megha, varṣa, vrīhi, yava, auṣadhi, vṛkṣa, Tila, Puruṣabīja, and strīgarbha. When the Jīvātmā goes to Candra Loka, its padārthatva (attribute) diminishes gradually and when it comes back to earth it increases gradually. Thus the jīvātmā takes thousands of births going to and from the moon (not the same moon of our Solar system). The jīvātmā coming back from the moon evolves from a plant to man. Plants are the food of man and the soul entering the plant enters the puruṣabīja (semen virile) through food. The souls coming out as rebirths do accept wombs according to a definite principle. In the order of the merit of their good deeds on earth, they are born in Brahmin, Kṣatriya, Vaiśya or Śūdra wombs. The souls with great sins are born as worms and insects. This passage of the soul from earth to Candra loka and vice versa is called Pitṛyāna. The journey of the soul after death was explained in great detail in Bhagavata Purana.
In the famous song Bhajagovindam, Sri Śankarabhagavadpāda told us about- punarapi jananam, punarapi maraṇam (the repeat cycle of birth and death). When the jīva (soul) leaves this gross body, according to our karmas, the causal body transmigrates into a different body. In Bhagavad-Gīta, Lord Shri Krishna also states that at the time of death we leave this body and enter a new body just like we discard an old shirt and put on a new one. Why and how the life-force enters a gross body was described in detail by our ancient sages with examples. So much was written in the Vedas and Upanishads about re-birth. We have life-force (70,000 energy channels) from head to toe and that is the Ātman (Soul/Self) which pervades the whole body including the mind and the thinking faculties as awareness and consciousness.
So many westerners and scholars from many countries have done research on this topic and wrote books about it as being scientific in basis rather than a belief system (Children’s Past Lives, Carol Bowman, Bantam Books, New York, 1997). Young children between the ages of 2-4 years had given accounts of their previous lives with proof like their birthplaces, important incidents, and instances, previous parent’s names, descriptions, etc. Their claims were proven to be true by the researchers, much to their astonishment (Lifetimes, True Accounts of Reincarnation, Frederick Lenz, Ph.D., Fawcett Crest, New York, 1979). There were incidents where a 3-4-year-old child was able to play Bach and Beethoven’s symphony on the piano, which can only logically be explained by the fact that the child had knowledge of his previous birth (Children Who Remember Past Lives, Ian Stevenson, University Press of Virginia, Charlottesville, 1987). According to Vedānta shāstrās, re-birth is not mere belief but a fact. They claim that bondage is the root cause of re-birth and we are caught in a cycle of birth and death due to our actions and results. The only way to get out of it is realizing that Ataman is Brahman (eternal) and getting rid of our ignorance about our true divine nature.

On 26th January 2021, the Republic of India celebrates its 72nd “Republic Day”. It is the day on which India became the Sovereign Republic in the year 1930 and on the same day, the British Colonial rule in India was denounced, and “Purna Swaraj” (Complete freedom from the British) was proclaimed!
Significance
While India gained independence from the British in 1947, but it wasn’t until 26 January 1950 that the Indian Constitution came into effect and India became a sovereign state, declaring it a republic.
The Indian Constitution was drafted by Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar who is known as the “Father of the Indian Constitution”. 26th January was chosen as the day to announce India becoming a republic as in the year 1929 on the same day, the Indian National Congress denounced colonial rule and proclaimed Purna Swaraj, “complete freedom from the British”. While the Constitution came into force in the year 1950 under a democratic government system, it was espoused by the Indian Constituent Assembly on 26 November 1949. This completed India’s transition into becoming a sovereign republic!
Celebration and the most awaited “Parade” on Rajpath
Republic day in India is celebrated all across India with full fervor and enthusiasm. Other than flag hoisting, reciting the national anthem, and organizing shows and events, the forces armed forces including the Indian Army, Navy, Air Force, police, and paramilitary forces showcase their skills and display India’s defensive prowess at the parade on Rajpath. People enjoy its broadcast sitting at their homes. Alongside these are the beautifully decorated tableaus that reflect the uniqueness and beauty of the various states of India!
Highlights of the Republic Day Parade 2021 at Rajpath
1. Tableau on the Ayodhya Ram Mandir
This year, Uttar Pradesh’s tableau displayed the state’s cultural city of Ayodhya and the Ram temple, which is under construction. In the first part of the tableau, Maharishi Valmiki was shown composing the Hindu epic “Ramayana”. In the middle part of the tableau, Shri Ram Mandir, the epitome of Ayodhya”s cultural identity associated with mass sentiments and devotion, was featured in the highlight!
2. India’s New Rafale Jet “Touched The Sky With Glory”
India’s new Rafale fighter took off to the sky and concluded the flypast by carrying out the hair-raising and spectacular “Vertical Charlie” formation- in which the aircraft flies at low altitude, pulls up vertically, and rolls multiple times before stabilizing at higher altitude!

3. Women Flight Lieutinent Participated in the Flypast
The nation saw the history being made when Flight Lieutenant Bhawana Kanth – the first Indian woman to qualify for a combat mission in a fighter jet – became the first to participate in the flypast.

Green Tax To Be Levied On Polluting Vehicles: Transport Ministry
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com
|
The Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Monday said his department has approved a proposal to levy “Green Tax” on old vehicles that are polluting the environment.
He said that the proposal will now go to the states for consultation before it is formally notified.
Follow NewsGram on Facebook to stay updated.
According to the proposal, transport vehicles older than eight years could be charged Green Tax at the time of renewal of fitness certificate, at the rate of 10 to 25 per cent of road tax, while personal vehicles will be charged Green Tax at the time of renewal of registration certification after 15 years.
The new proposal also said that public transport vehicles, such as city buses, will be charged lower Green Tax.
It further said that the vehicles being registered in highly-polluted cities will have to pay higher green tax (50 per cent of road tax) depending upon the fuel type (petrol or diesel) and the type of vehicle.
The proposal further said that vehicles such as strong hybrids, electric vehicles and alternate fuels such as CNG, ethanol, LPG etc and vehicles used in farming, such as tractor, tiller etc, must be exempt from Green Tax.
The proposal further said that revenue collected from Green Tax will be kept in a separate account and used for tackling pollution, and for states to set up facilities for emission monitoring.
The ministry said that the aim of the new proposal is to dissuade people from using vehicles which damage the environment, to motivate people to switch to newer, less-polluting vehicles and reduce pollution levels by making the polluter pay for pollution.
The minister also approved the policy of deregistration and scrapping of vehicles owned by government department and PSUs, which are more than 15 years in age.
It will be notified and come into effect from April 1 next year.
The ministry said that it is estimated that commercial vehicles, which constitute about 5 per cent of the total vehicle fleet, contribute about 65-70 per cent to total vehicular pollution.

It also said that the older fleet, typically manufactured before the year 2000, constitutes less than 1 per cent of the total fleet but contributes around 15 per cent of total vehicular pollution.
“These older vehicles pollute 10-25 times more than modern vehicles,” the statement added. (IANS)

What Does 2021 Have In Store For Arts In India?
| null | null |
www.newsgram.com

The trials and tribulations of 2020 propelled many to seek refuge in the comfort of a favorite song, the upbeat rhythm that came from a dance sequence, or the much-needed break that came to our screens in the form of digital theatre. While the past year saw increased, especially online, activity for these performing arts, what does 2021 have in store?
Dance
Priya Venkataraman, Bharatanatyam Dancer, and choreographer say, “2020 saw a surge in online performances and classes. This allowed me as a dancer to connect to students worldwide. I see this trend continuing through to the majority of next year while the established and senior artists will return to the stage with limited audiences. Online platforms & festivals are here to stay as they offer much-needed visibility without the need for sponsors.”
Follow NewsGram on Twitter to stay updated about the World news.
Indian-Australian choreographer and dance mentor Ashley Lobo says: “Going forward into 2021, I see a trend of a blend of digital and offline engagement in performing arts. I see collaborations and dance education using the digital medium much more. Choreographers experimenting with film and multimedia will expand and that should make for some interesting and engaging viewing. A live performance will definitely be back because as human beings the human interaction can never be replaced. As far as art goes I am hopeful that the digital medium will expand the awareness and the younger generation will find interest in it considering it is coming to them in a medium that they have strong ties to.
Theatre
Shailja Kejriwal, Chief Creative Officer, Special Projects at Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd said that when they first started digitizing plays, it was not with the possibility of a pandemic in mind but over the last few months, the format has developed a new relevance. “In the coming year, digitizing of storytelling will become more expansive, diverse, and all-encompassing. With people now searching for a variety of content to watch combined with existing theatre lovers who still wish for access to plays, digital theatre is a medium which will be further explored in 2021.”
“From the perspective of theatre, digitization will play a large role. It will help theater broaden and deepen its reach. New products will get developed which will leverage the unique strengths of theater such as the live broadcast of performances. Theater in its traditional form will continue to serve niche audiences that relish the old world charm. However, the theater performances will be enhanced with the use of new technology,” Hemant Bharat Ram, Executive Vice President, Shri Ram Centre for Performing Arts (SRCPA) told IANSlife.

“The Internet has been reshaping the music landscape, which has been further accelerated by the recent pandemic. Technology, Innovation, and Collaboration will lead the way in the coming years. New platforms and mediums will gain prominence, reinventing the ways audiences connect with music creators. The pandemic has forced artists & creators across the globe to postpone their live on-ground concerts indefinitely. As an alternate, many turned to virtual performances. While virtual shows propose new possibilities for the music industry, technology will play a critical role in making it a success,” asserted Rakesh Nigam, CEO, IPRS.

He concluded, “The experience created online will define the popularity and value-for-money, and whether it can attract/hold on to its audience in the long run. The permission and licenses also have to be looked into to create a win-win situation for all the stakeholders. At IPRS, we are mindful of the changing times and have taken measures to ensure that the authors, composers, and publishers of music reap all benefits possible of their hard work and creative ability.” (IANS)

Coconut oil is nature’s hair care miracle, offering 10-fold benefits when it comes to hair health. While its numerous hair advantages are well known, here are the top 5 benefits that make coconut oil indispensable.
1. Coconut Oil Is The Ultimate Hair Protector
No one does the job of shielding hair better than coconut oil. Living in a warm and sunny environment has its own set of problems for hair. Every exposure to the sun causes hair to lose moisture and shine, increasing dryness. But not when there’s coconut oil to protect it. A Research Gate study reveals that coconut oil seeps 10 layers deep into the hair shaft and forms a layer of protection that continually hydrates your hair. It also has SPF and anti-oxidant abilities to safeguard from sun damage. Additionally, chemical damage from shampoos and other styling products, including heat damage, can be averted by applying coconut oil prior to exposure.

2. Coconut Oil Restores Hair Health From Within
As you tire out from superficial hair care products that do more damage than good in the long run, remember that coconut oil seeps into the deepest part of the hair shaft and rejuvenates the hair follicles to restore hair health from the inside out. The fatty acids and vitamins of this oil go deep into the hair to moisturize and hydrate the hair follicles to combat dryness.
3. Coconut Oil Is A Scalp Saviour
Humidity and extreme climatic changes are not friends to our scalp. With abundant anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, coconut oil has the ability to prevent and treat multiple scalp issues including dandruff, dryness, and other infections. It also efficiently removes sebum build-up, a critical factor causing greasiness in the scalp and hair.

4. Coconut Oil Effectively Removes Frizz
While we wish every day were a good hair day, the reality is often quite different. Frizz, which is a result of moisture being sucked out of hair, generally happens when the harsh chemicals in some shampoos deplete the hair of its natural moisture. During the drying process, moisture is sucked out, especially in humid climes leading to frizzy hair. Applying a few drops of coconut oil to freshly washed, damp hair ensures that the moisture stays locked in and your hair stays frizz-free.
5. Coconut Oil is Natural and Environmental Friendly
Coconuts trees, common as they are in the tropics, literally grow abundantly all around us. Hence, coconut oil is natural, local, available in plenty, and perfectly suited to our hair’s multi-faceted needs, Let us ditch the multitude of exorbitantly priced, non-biodegradable, and unnecessary hair products, and replace it with the all-natural goodness of coconut oil and do our part in protecting the environment. Our hair, our bank account, and our planet will thank us for it. (IANS)

IEA: Take Action To Cut Methane Emissions From Oil, Gas Sector

Methane emissions from the global oil and gas industry fell by an estimated 10 percent in 2020 as producers slashed output in response to the historic shock of the Covid-19 crisis, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Monday, warning that these emissions could rebound strongly without greater action by companies, policymakers and regulators. Methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide (CO2) and makes a major contribution to global warming.
According to the IEA’s 2021 update of its Methane Tracker, oil and gas operations worldwide emitted more than 70 million tonnes of methane into the atmosphere last year. This is broadly equivalent to the total energy-related CO2 emissions from the entire European Union.

The new IEA analysis indicates that a large part of the drop in methane emissions in 2020 occurred not because companies were taking more care to avoid methane leaks from their operations, but simply because they were producing less oil and gas. As such, there is clearly a risk that this downward trend will be reversed by an increase in production to fuel a rebound in global economic activity.
“The task now for the oil and gas industry is to make sure that there is no resurgence in methane emissions, even as the world economy recovers, and that 2019 becomes their historical peak. There is no good reason to allow these harmful leaks to continue, and there is every reason for responsible operators to ensure that they are addressed,” IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said.
“Alongside ambitious efforts to decarbonize our economies, early action on methane emissions will be critical for avoiding the worst effects of climate change. There has never been a greater sense of urgency about this issue than there is today, said Birol.
“To help accelerate these efforts, the IEA is today releasing a ‘how-to’ guide that governments and regulators can use to bring down methane emissions from oil and gas operations.” IEA analysis highlights that reducing methane emissions is very cost-effective for oil and gas companies.
Unlike CO2, there is already a price for methane everywhere in the world — the price of natural gas. This means the costs of improving operations or making repairs to prevent leaks can often be paid for by the value of the additional gas that is brought to market. “We believe that industry must act visibly and quickly,” Birol said.
“But there is also a strong role for government policies; to incentivize early action by companies, push for transparency and improvements in performance, and support innovation in getting results.”
The new IEA report, Driving Down Methane Leaks from the Oil and Gas Industry: A Regulatory Roadmap and Toolkit, offers a step-by-step guide for anyone trying to develop or to update regulation on methane. Its advice draws on analysis of how more than 50 countries, states, or provinces — from the US to Nigeria, from Iraq to China and Russia — have tackled methane emissions from a regulatory perspective.

“In this crucial year for climate action leading up to COP26 in Glasgow in November, this is the moment for governments to raise ambitions not only on CO2 but also on methane,” Birol said. “One important avenue, especially for countries with large oil and gas sectors, will be to include commitments on methane in their new or updated pledges in advance of the COP meeting. This is also the moment for companies to put all their weight behind this effort.”
The case for action is not just environmental or reputational. There are increasing signs that consumers are starting to look carefully at the emissions profile of different sources of gas when making decisions on what to buy. A gas producer without a credible story on methane abatement is also one that is taking commercial risks. (IANS)
