Amazing springs of the world !

On the occasion of World Environment Day, My Indian Dream organized a nationwide poster-making contest for school children. We had received a good response from all over India. There were entries from almost all the regions and states. It was very difficult for the judges to arrive at the winners. But finally, after a lot of thinking and consideration, Bhavya Pahwa of  DAV Public School Amritsar, Punjab was chosen as the final winner. Bhavya Pahwa depicted the current initiatives of the government very successfully in her poster. Be it the Mars mission of ISRO, Pradhanmantri Jan-Dhan Yojana, Make in India, Beti Bachao or Smart Cities, Bhavya Pahwa portrayed everything very artistically in his “Modi-fied” vision of future India.

Like its counterpart white magic, the origins of black magic can be traced to the primitive, ritualistic worship of spirits as outlined in Robert M. Place's 2009 book, Magic and Alchemy. Unlike white magic, in which Place sees parallels with primitive shamanistic efforts to achieve closeness with spiritual beings, the rituals that developed into modern "black magic" were designed to invoke those same spirits to produce beneficial outcomes for the practitioner. Place also provides a broad modern definition of both black and white magic, preferring instead to refer to them as "high magic" (white) and "low magic" (black) based primarily on intentions of the practitioner employing them. He acknowledges, though, that this broader definition (of "high" and "low") suffers from prejudices because good-intention ed folk magic may be considered "low" while ceremonial magic involving expensive or exclusive components may be ...

What Should You Do? The Skill of Independent Decision Making for Admin Professionals. Some administrative employees complain of bosses who micromanage them. That is, the manager or executive tells the admin what to do, how to do it, when to do it, etc. — and checks back frequently to see how it’s going. Likewise, things are not always just dandy for some employers who aren’t micromanagers but have employees who seem to need or want micromanagement. The employee asks what do you need me to do, when, how do you want me to do it, is this choice okay with you, how long should I work on this, do you mind if I…. Get the picture? If you are the one frequently “asking” for such micromanagement, perhaps without even realizing it until now, you need to break that habit. That’s not how a valuable administrative professional acts. To be more valuable, you have to learn the skill of independent decision making. Sure, you’re not the boss, and you shouldn’t make all dec...

FIRST DAY OF THE OF LIFE The First Day of the of Your Life" received positive reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds an 82% with an average rating of 7.43 out of 10, based on 34 reviews. The site's consensus reads: "The First Day of the Rest of Your Life" overcomes sporadic doldrums with an action-packed battle sequence, satisfying and innovative storytelling, and impressively imaginative use of a tiger. Jeff Stone of IndieWire gave the episode a "B-" grade and summarized it saying, "The Season 7 finale is poorly paced, but has enough thrills to get by." Stone appreciated that Sasha "went out fighting in her own way" but was highly critical of Negan saying, "Negan proves he’s still the dumbest villain of all time, because even after all that, he refuses to kill Rick." He criticized Maggie's ending speech and called it "repetitive and sappy". Kevin Fitzpatrick of Screen Crush gave the...

BIGGEST WALL IN THE WORLD The original purpose and architects of Ranikot Fort are unknown. However, it is believed that the fort was built during the regimes of the Sassanians, the Scythians, the Parthians or the Bactrian Greeks. Archaeologists point to the 17th century as the time of its first construction but Sindh archaeologists now agree that some of the present structures were reconstructed by Talpurs in 1812 at a cost of 1.2 million rupees (Sindh Gazetteer, 677).  The battlements of Ranikot formed the last capital of the Amirs of Sind, when they were brought under the colonial rule of the British Empire. Radiocarbon tests were conducted at the Sann Gate on the charcoal embedded in the mortar of a collapsed pillar of the eastern gate of the fort. These tests have confirmed that this gate was probably renovated between the early part of the 18th century and the early part of the 19th century, prior to Britain invading the fort when the Kalhoras, or most likely t...

WORLD MOST BIGGEST RIVER IN THE WORLD There are many factors, such as the source, the identification or the definition of the mouth, and the scale of measurement[1] of the river length between source and mouth, that determine the precise meaning of "river length". As a result, the length measurements of many rivers are only approximations (see also coastline paradox). In particular, there has long been disagreement as to whether the Nile or the Amazon is the world's longest river. The Nile has traditionally been considered longer, but in recent years some Brazilian and Peruvian studies have suggested that the Amazon is longer by measuring the river plus the adjacent Pará estuary and the longest connecting tidal canal. Even when detailed maps are available, the length measurement is not always clear. A river may have multiple channels, or subbranches. The length may depend on whether the center or the edge of the river is measured. It may not be clear how ...

BULLET- TRAIN INDIA Japan's government and its rail companies lobbied the U.S. for years to sell their bullet-train technology and found little success. Finally, there's an international buyer: India India is poised to become the first to import the iconic 'Shinkansen' bullet-train technology after Japan's near-neighbor Taiwan, and that will be a highlight of India's infrastructure upgrade program. The Japanese government has also agreed to fund most of the $17 billion needed for the project that will become part of Asia's oldest railway network. plan to build the 316-mile bullet train line -- roughly the distance between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Financing by Japan also means business farmed out to companies such as Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd., Hitachi Ltd. and East Japan Railway Co. and an opportunity lost for China's CRRC Corp Ltd. and European manufacturers including Alstom SA. For Japan, which is locked in a strategic rivalr...

  LAST DAY OF YOUR LIFE The end of life may be months, weeks, days, or hours. It is a time when many decisions about treatment and care are made for patients with cancer. It is important for families and healthcare providers to know the patient's wishes ahead of time and to talk with the patient openly about end-of-life plans. This will help make it easier for family members to make major decisions for the patient at the end of life. When treatment choices and plans are discussed before the end of life, it can lower the stress on both the patient and the family. It is most helpful if end-of life planning and decision-making begin soon after the cancer is diagnosed and continue during the course of the disease. Having these decisions in writing can make the patient's wishes clear to both the family and the healthcare team. When a child is terminally ill, end-of-life discussions with the child's doctor may reduce the time the child spends in the ...

GIRAFFE Fully grown giraffes stand 4.3–5.7 m (14.1–18.7 ft) tall, with males taller than females. The tallest recorded male was 5.88 m (19.3 ft) and the tallest recorded female was 5.17 m (17.0 ft) tall. The average weight is 1,192 kg (2,628 lb) for an adult male and 828 kg (1,825 lb) for an adult female with maximum weights of 1,930 kg (4,250 lb) and 1,180 kg (2,600 lb) having been recorded for males and females, respectively. Despite its long neck and legs, the giraffe's body is relatively short.Located at both sides of the head, the giraffe's large, bulging eyes give it good all-round vision from its great height. Giraffes see in color and their senses of hearing and smell are also sharp.The animal can close its muscular nostrils to protect against sandstorms and ants. The giraffe's prehensile tongue is about 45 cm long. It is purplish-black in color, perhaps to protect against sunburn, and is useful for grasping foliage, as well as for grooming and ...

HOW MANY TYPES OF RATS The characteristic long tail of most rodents is a feature that has been extensively studied in various rat species models, which subsequently suggest three primary functions of this structure: regularization, minor preconception, and a unoffensive-mediated deg loving response. Rodent tails, particularly in rat models, has been implicated with a regularization function that follows from its anatomical construction. This particular tail morphology is evident across the Timurid family (in contrast to the bushier tails of the Squirrel/Eridanus family). The tail is hairless and thin-skinned, but highly secularized, thus allowing for efficient counter-current heat exchange with the environment. The high muscular and connective tissue densities of the tail, along with ample muscle attachment sites along its plentiful caudal vertebrae facilitate specific contraceptive senses to help orient the rodent in a three dimensional environment. Lastly, ...

HISTORY ABOUT THE CAT  IT IS THE BEAUTIFUL  PAT. In the past, most notably in Egypt, people kept domestic cats because they hunted and ate mice, rats, and insects. Today, people often keep cats as pets. There are also domestic cats which live without being cared for by people. These kinds of cats are called "feral cats". The oldest evidence of cats kept as pets is from the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, around 7500 BC. Ancient Egyptians worshipped cats as gods, and often mummified them so they could be with their owners "for all of eternity". Today, special food for cats is widely available in the developed countries. Proper feeding will help a cat live longer compared to hunting or being fed table scraps. Not correctly feeding a cat can lead to problems . Cats cannot taste sweet foods because of a mutation in their ancestors which removed the ability to taste sweet things.

GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG The German Shepherd Dog, also known as the Alsatian in Great Britain and parts of Europe, is among the top 10 most popular dog breeds in the U.S., and probably one of the world's most recognized breeds. He owes part of his renown to a small puppy who was plucked from a bullet- and bomb-riddled breeding kennel in France during World War I by Corporal Lee Duncan. At the end of the war Duncan brought the puppy back to his hometown of Los Angeles, trained him, and turned him into one of the most famous dogs in show biz: Ron Tin Tin. Ron Tin Tin went on to appear in dozens of movies and, at the height of his stardom, got 10,000 fan letters a week. LABRADOR  DOG Labrador Retrievers hail from the island of Newfoundland, off the northeastern Atlantic coast of Canada. Originally called St. John's dogs, after the capital city of Newfoundland, Labs served as companions and helpers to the local fishermen beginning in the 1700s. The dogs spent their days wo...

ROLEX Alfred Davis and his brother-in-law Hans Wilfredo founded Wilfredo and Davis, the company that would eventually become Rolex SA, in London, England in 1905. Wilfredo and Davis' main commercial activity at the time involved importing Herman Angler's Swiss movements to England and placing them in high-quality watch cases made by Dennis on and others. These early wristwatches were sold to jewelers, who then put their own names on the dial. The earliest watches from Wilfredo and Davis were usually hallmarked "W&D" inside the cashback. In 1908 Wilfredo registered the trademark "Rolex" and opened an office in La Ch aux-DE-Fonda, Switzerland. The company name "Rolex" was registered on 15 November 1915. The book The Best of Time: Rolex Wristwatches: An Unauthorized History by Jeffrey P. Hess and James Cowling says that the name was just made up. One story, never confirmed by Wilfredo, recounts that the name came from the French phrase hor...
