Be like a scientist in your life while dealing with failures. For most of us, failure represents who we
are as a person but for scientists, a negative result or failure ...
is not an indication of a bad scientist. The failures or setbacks are the data points that ultimately lead to the right answer. A failure proves to be an opportunity for growth intended for one reason that concludes to focus you on creating a new routine or understanding new agility. Failure is a result of an investigation. Let’s rewind from a failure for a moment. What was it that you were striving for when you felt you failed? An “A” in Physics?
If you start viewing whatever it was that you were trying to achieve as an experiment, it takes the
pressure off of needing to have perfectly accomplished it. You attempted something for the very first time, regardless of how many years you studied, or
worked that whole journey was new to you, as it is the journey of life.
The gift with which you can bless yourself is to dig your failure for the next round.
Now you have gone through the experimenting process, and have come out on the other side as having fallen, what can you learn from it? Because I have a secret to share now, “That, failure is chock full of
knowledge that can help you do better in the next attempt.” This is the point of experiments in science.
All results point to knowledge, the knowledge that scientists throw into their information bag to
use for their next experience. Every failure is an opportunity for us to drill the results for the value we can provide to do better the next time. Therefore, treat your failure like a scientist so that you can overcome it and treat it well.
Do you have any white spots on your nails? If yes then it is a clear symptom that your body is craving zinc. This is the most common deficiency in people who binge on cakes, ...
pastries, and other items made up of refined grains. Zinc is required for males as well as for females. In males, it plays a crucial role in testosterone production. Low testosterone levels lead to sexual immaturity, especially in pregnancy, the zinc deficiency dangerously affects the fetus and the mother. The best solution to prevent zinc deficiency problems is to cease the intake of bakery products and to increase seeds, nuts, lentils, and legumes.
The deficiency of B vitamins is the most common deficiency that causes skin, hair, and digestive problems. Below are some common problems enlisted related to its particular cause that can help you identify the problem and its root cause.
1. Most of us have to deal with cracked corners of heels, bloodshot eyes, ulcers on lips, or cracked corners of the sides of the mouth. These symptoms indicate vitamin B2 deficiency.
2. Horizontal lines on your nails or wandering eyes indicate a deficiency of vitamin B1.
3. Rounded nails show a deficiency of vitamin B12.
4. If you binge on poor choices of food like cakes, pizzas, fast foods, or even overly processed foods; redness around the nose, forehead, and cheeks develops and depicts an alarming symptom of vitamin B6 deficiency.
5. Iron deficiency signs and symptoms show up when the sufferer has a pale face, white nails, and depigmentation of lips that is due to low iron and hemoglobin levels. Note that they both are inter-linked. Iron is essential for the production of blood. The best way to fulfill it is to start using iron karahi for cooking. Moreover, patients have to opt for red-colored fruits like beetroot or carrot maple.
6. Another common symptom is having vertical ridges on nails, loss of eyebrows, or puffy eyes that indicate low thyroid. The thyroid hormone regulates your body’s metabolism. Since it gets disturbed, it can create further deficiencies in the body. As women have more hormonal events, they are prone to these symptoms. But do not blame hormones as they are all lifestyle-associated diseases.
The human body is such a magnificent machine. When things go wrong it does not shut down without indicating signs, instead, it allows us to figure ...
out the causes and suppress the ailment. In this article, we are going to throw light on the treatment of the signs indicated by our bodies.
Do you feel a cracking sound when you bend your knees? If yes, this is a clear sign of calcium deficiency. The primary role of calcium is to maintain strong bones and teeth. Low levels of calcium can gradually lead to a condition called arthritis. On a good note, you do not need to invest in calcium supplements as naturopathy is itself the best treatment. Try to add milk and milk products along with peanut butter to your diet. The best trick that immediately works is adding a pinch of calcium carbonate in curd and having it regularly on an empty stomach. Stay consistent for two to three months.
If you feel that your tongue is prone to ulcers and cuts, know that the body is deprived of vitamin C. Bleeding gums while brushing is the most common symptom of a disease called scurvy. What’s happening at the cellular level is that your arteries are bleeding which needs to get controlled urgently, in order not to let it aggravate and further lead to vascular diseases. The best way to include vitamin C is by adding Amla to your diet. Amla has different forms of existence that include powder, pickles, candy, or even boiled form. Whereas other optimally healthy sources include capsicum, guava, etc.
Do you have weak brittle nails or do you suffer from peeling cuticles? If you are prey to dry hair or even premature hair fall, get your biotin checked. One of the common causes includes binge eating raw eggs daily. Raw eggs stimulate salmonella which creates an imbalanced digestive system. Biotin is made from certain friendly bacteria in the gut. Due to an imbalanced digestive system, biotin is not made sufficiently. The best way to increase biotin production in the body is to start consuming probiotics that are gut-friendly bacteria. Have curd on an empty stomach with one teaspoon of jaggery powder mixed in it. Some other good sources also include apple cider vinegar and pickles.
Note that taking care of the human body is important as it is a cardinal rule of the survival of the fittest.
We use machine learning every day, probably without even knowing it. When you do a web search for the nearest Indian restaurant, ...
it works so well to give you the names of a bunch of restaurants nearby your location. Behind the scenes, the machine learning algorithm of a search engine (Google, Baidu etc.) knows how to rank the web pages and give you an Indian restaurant at the top and not any Turkish or Spanish restaurants. Another example would be when you upload a group photo with friends to Instagram or Facebook and want to tag your friends in the photo so that they may see it, you are given tag suggestions of your friends’ accounts with higher accuracy. But at the back, it is their computer vision algorithm which recognizes the faces in the photo and matches it with the existing accounts of the respective people. Similarly, if you search for a gadget on Amazon and similar suggestions pop up in your Amazon account, under the hood is machine learning that recommends something you might like. If you ask Apple Siri or Google Assistant to write a message to your friend on your cell phone and the voice is converted to text, backstage is machine learning converting your natural language into text intelligently.
Apart from the consumer applications, machine learning is paving its way into many different big companies and industrial applications, for example, machine learning is used to optimize wind turbine power regeneration to reduce climate change effects. In healthcare, it aids doctors in making accurate diagnoses. This all is machine learning which is the science of getting computers to learn without being explicitly programmed.

Rice comes in different varieties like black, white, vanaspati, brown rice, etc. Brown rice is a staple food containing Mg, P, Se, thiamin, niacin, ...
vitamin B6, fiber, and Mg. One cup of brown rice comprises 88% of the total Mg intake. It is high in fiber and is gluten-free.
Mg helps in bone formation, regulation of blood pressure, prevention of gastrointestinal disorders, and aids in alleviating diabetes. Brown rice contains phytic acid which is a good antioxidant, and also some anti-cancer nutrients. The glycemic index of brown rice is as low as 50 which helps in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. It is also used as a substitute for rice and meals. Since brown rice only lacks the outermost layer called husk, the process of refining brown rice into white rice removes bran, bran dust, and husk, and you are left with the starch solely and a few trace nutrients. This process destroys 67% of vitamin B3, 8% of vitamin B1, 90% of vitamin B6, 50% of manganese, 50% of phosphorus, 60% of iron, 100 % of fiber, and 100% of essential fatty acids. The glycemic index of white rice is 80 which is detrimental to insulin resistance and increases the risk for type 2 diabetes.
However, it is ok to eat white rice especially when you don’t have the option to go for the brown variety.
Have you ever experienced butterflies in the stomach in a state of nervousness? Well, that emanation of sensation depicts that the gut ...
and brain are connected, also known as the gut-brain axis. The enteric nervous system consists of 500 million neurons, the vagus nerve, and some chemicals called neurotransmitters that connect the gut to the brain. That is a reason why ENS is called the second brain.
About 75% of immunity is produced in the gut. Apart from a wide range of functions, the human gut performs the most important one is the production of feel-good hormones. The gut is home to a wide range of bacteria which includes good and bad bacteria. About 85% is good bacteria whereas the rest of the 15% is bad bacteria. Good bacteria are also known as probiotics which defend the body and protect it, such as lactobacillus, yeast, and Bifidobacterium. Whereas bad bacteria multiply and harm the body such as E-coli and salmonella. Gut microbiota is composed of 90% of serotonin and dopamine. An increase in bad bacteria production imbalances the ratio and leads to autism, Crohn’s disease, cancer, and other disorders. To moderate the ratio, you need to add kimchi, sauerkraut, yogurt, buttermilk, natto, and kanji to your dietary regimen.
Over decades we have become disconnected from our healthy food regimen. We fuel up the body only to fill the void. This often is a leading cause of unhealthy binge eating, mindless eating, and other disorders. Thus, today ...
we are going to bring this discussion to the light to seek better connections with our food together.
There are 6 tips to overcome mindless eating without falling off the track and sabotaging your efforts.
1. Express gratitude while eating and have your meal in peace, without distractions, especially from electronics.
This helps encourage a mindful eating pattern and connects us with the food. It also has a similar effect to the mind-muscle connection; the food can heal you where you need the most.
2. Ditch the word ‘healthy’ and replace it with ‘real’ food.
Eating healthy makes you demonize real food (the food we should be eating). Today, the food industry has become a million-dollar industry. They have introduced various food labels in the market that pleases the eyes of every buyer, robbing them of their health beneath the surface. Following are the most common misleading food labels:
· All-natural
· Sugar-free
· Immune boosters
Beware of the so-called marketed products and scan the ingredients thoroughly before any purchase.
3. Appreciate the nutritional value of food.
Think consciously about the organs that are being benefited by the meal you are having. Having a piece of emotional and spiritual information about each food is a bonus point!
4. Don’t buy things you’ll regret later.
One of the easiest ways to sabotage your health is to buy unproductive packaged foods that you know you do not have self-control over. Try to eat real food in its whole form and shop the produce section more than any other section in the grocery store.
5. Never grocery shop while hungry.
When you go too long without eating, you will start to crave unproductive foods, and it will make you put unproductive foods in your cart that you did not intend to buy. You will binge eat and regret the choices later.
6. Plant your food and watch it grow.
Even if you do not have access to the bigger ground, you can still grow sprouts and herbs indoors. Watching your garden grow is a soul-healing meditation. It adds a powerful value to food when it is being grown, harvested, and turned into a meal.
According to this hypothesis, people who live in an extra clean environment are not exposed to the infectious pathogens due to which they have improper development of immunity. Because ...
they trigger cellular pathways that regulate immunity affecting immune response. It has been observed that countries having higher levels of sanitation are more likely to have autoimmune diseases due to a lack of an activated immune system. Autoimmune disease is the condition when the body starts defending itself from its tissues called autoantibodies (not against the foreign particles).
It is well-known that pathogens stimulate the immune system. In normal conditions, helper T1 cells are activated to stimulate the production of cytokines against infectious pathogens. In contrast, when no pathogen is noticed, decreased levels of helper T1 cell production take place, and in return, helper T cells 2 are produced. Higher T2 levels further result in allergic disorders like asthma, food allergies, etc. But it is important to note that exposure to only some pathogens can stimulate the immune system, other pathogens can have a negative effect. Also, the human microbe (the microbes in and on us) play a significant role in immunity. This microbiome is regulated by many factors, like diet and antibiotic overuse, which are unrelated to hygiene.
Being said, the hygiene hypothesis can also be a factor contributing to a weakened defense system. It is critical to consider that being unhygienic is also not a better option. We just need to evaluate the balance and take care of ourselves, knowing that excess of anything is bad.
These days fluoride has been consumed through almost every possible source. It is found in fluoridated water, salt, and fluoride supplements. Furthermore, the dental care products in the market like tubes of toothpaste ...
and mouth rinses are the most detrimental fluoride products. Some minor sources of fluoride might be seafood, some fruits, and vegetables. Although fluoride is naturally occurring, there are some side effects of fluoride that are harmful to health. Some of the potential downsides are listed below.
When fluoride is consumed in excess, skeletal and dental fluorosis takes place. Skeletal fluorosis is a bone disease characterized by the accumulation of fluoride in the bones. It can further lead to calcification of ligaments, and joint pain due to which the stiffness results.
Fluoride consumption leads to impaired brain development and cognitive functioning, especially in children. It happens when the pineal gland (the third eye) is inhibited to function due to exposure to high levels of fluoride. The suppressed pineal gland can not function in critical thinking.
Mild dental fluorosis is characterized by white spots on teeth, otherwise, brown stains appear that are associated with the weakening of teeth.
Additionally, osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer has also been observed that affects the larger bones in the body.
Focus is a zone that catches most of your attention without any distraction. There are a few game-changer hacks that you could apply in your daily life to optimize ...focus.
Let’s begin with the investment of energy firstly. If you have assigned yourself an important task, schedule it at the time of day when you have most of the energy to perform. It is important to be at a peak of your energy because managing time in better ways plays a crucial role. It is useless if you have time but don’t have the energy to do it. Many people consume their energy on their important tasks at the beginning of the day, whereas for some people it works the other way around.
Secondly, do not use social media before the afternoon. It is the best way to eradicate distraction and pursue your agenda rather than scrolling aimlessly on social media and observing people’s agendas. We do not often realize that our physical energy is as important as our mental energy. And one favor that you could do to your mind is at least not dictating it to the mental state of the world.
If you want to stay focused, do not catch up with the screen when you wake up. Another better option could also be leaving your phone in any other room till you get your work done.
Moreover, provide yourself with an “anchor task” that is a mainstay and could make your day in place. The power of choosing one priority will guide you to make the way through the day. Because in the beginning, it is all about getting started, not even succeeding.
Nowadays political temperature in Pakistan is towering high. There is an air of uncertainty everywhere in the whole country. For the first time in the history of Pakistan, a no-confidence motion succeeded against the prime minister of Pakistan....The PDM and PPP worked together to oust Imran Khan through a no-confidence motion. Approximately 20 MNAs of PTI were against Imran Khan, whereas the other members of PTI did not vote for Shahbaz Sharif as they could be disqualified. The Tehreeq-e-Insaf responded by accusing the opposition parties of being a part of the foreign-backed conspiracy, claiming that it possessed a diplomatic cable in which a threat was issued by the US Government to remove Imran Khan as Prime Minister of Pakistan, otherwise Pakistan had to face severe economic and geopolitical problems. Nevertheless, the US foreign office has denied such rumors. The national security committee also admitted that the letter contained "Undiplomatic Language", but they refused the impression of any foreign interference. In this raid, the Pakistani ambassador to America, belonging to no political party, has also claimed to have received threats. The Russian Foreign Minister's spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, reported that the US has punished the lawless Imran Khan which is a shameless act. Knowing this Imran khan called out his supporters to stage rallies and assemblages all over Pakistan. There was a huge crowd of people in Karachi, Lahore, and Peshawar. The hashtag "Imported government na Manzoor" is still trending on Twitter leaving a mark in history. The Twitter space of Imran Khan has also broken the records.
After the removal of the previous government, Shahbaz Sharif took the place as the PM. Currently, the newly elected CM of Punjab has not taken oath yet. There is still an element of tension left in the political chambers of Pakistan. Dr. Arif Alvi who refused to take oath from the newly elected PM of the opposition is still the president of Pakistan. Legal experts say that it is not possible to remove the President from office because impeachment of the President requires a two-thirds majority of the total members of both houses of parliament. In this case, the President has no threat from the Government as the prime minister has no authority to remove the President. Throwing light on the constitutional power of the president, important decisions should be made suspending the rest of the affairs for a short period.
According to Barrister Salahuddin:
"If the president starts refusing the advice of the PM, then the state machinery would quickly grind to that.”
Moreover, there is even an interesting situation in Punjab. There are decisions to be made yet. Let’s hope for the best.
Endorphins are one of the important pleasure hormones. A decreased number of endorphins induce laziness, addiction, sleepiness, and lethargy. Whereas an adequate number of endorphins help promote relief from pain, pleasure, sharper memory, a healthier immune system,...and better physical strength. A question arises, how to increase endorphins? Several ways help promote and maintain the levels of endorphins in the human body. Some of these are listed below:
1. Spending quality time or money, praising others, counting blessings, or improving a sense of security stimulate endorphins production.
2. Natural food which is derived from mother earth like fruits and vegetables specifically bananas, or even dark chocolate also endorse levels of endorphins.
3. Doing yoga or meditation, and positive affirmations produce endorphins. A 4-7-8-second technique can also help you with this. In this technique you need to inhale oxygen in 4 seconds, stop breathing for 7 seconds and then exhale carbon dioxide in 8 seconds. Or in other words; inhale oxygen in 4 parts, stop it for 7 seconds and expire carbon dioxide in 8 parts. Practicing meditation also helps in opening the third eye.
4. Do 100 counts of skipping rope or 100 jumping jacks because physical exercise helps in boosting endorphins.
5. Group dance is also referred to as an increase in endorphins since it not only plays an important role in social interaction but also in improving confidence and self-esteem.
It is said “You are what you think!”. Hence, your perception and attitude towards life define your
ability to endure strength and achieve greatness in life, as author Tonny Robbins says, ...“The power
of positive thinking is the ability to generate a feeling of certainty in yourself when nothing in the
environment supports you.”
Thoughts form our reality. The deeper you think, the more you awaken to find your meaning in
life by learning to discipline your thoughts and achieving mindfulness. Thoughts determine who
we aspire to be. They depict our soulful intentions and shadow our deepest desires. The raw
thoughts popping in your mind are initially words without soul that may not make much sense, yet
they possess immense potential to be transformed into reality. 95% of our life operates on the
commands signalled by our brains, thereby suggesting the magnificent role of our thoughts in
creating our reality. There are 50 trillion cells in the human body that work under the signals
provided by our mind, and not our genes. Every cell is a battery and genes are just like blueprints.
This complicated fashion of 50 trillion units of life give up their response and solely respond to
the central voice of the mind. Thus, it is noteworthy to say that man is not a victim of genes but
perception. With this potential that we are blessed with, we can serve others and help ourselves in
unique ways. A notable instance in this regard will be the recovery of one's health with just our
positive and healing thoughts and practices like meditation. 95% of cancer cases do not contain
mutant genes, rather they develop just because of epigenetic/non genetic influences. That is why
psychologists advise patients not to own disease and to reduce the amount of time that they talk
about being ill. Therefore, refusal to allow illness a place in your consciousness generates thoughts
that help to regain health. Our thoughts form the strongest neuromuscular coordination that results
in physiological reactions by the body, hence triggering the hypothalamus to provoke the entire
endocrine system. Joe Dispenza in his book entitled Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How
to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One quotes, “When feelings become the means of thinking,
or if we cannot think greater than how we feel, we can never change. To change is to think greater
than how we feel. To change is to act greater than the familiar feelings of the memorized self."
The direct connection of mindset and body produces the outcome following the nature of stimuli
that it receives. If the perception is positive and the person believes its healing power even if he is
provided with a sugar pill (Placebo effect) as a dose of medicine; he ends up curing himself. It
construes that it was not a pill that has healed him, but the thought-process that started abrupt
recovery. In the same context, this positive mindset empowers a strong sense of wellbeing and
mental vitality. A few of the key factors that regulate the positive belief system include kindness,
gratitude, spirituality, zest, hope, generosity, curiosity, and forgiveness. Your thoughts mold into
your actions. With time and consistency, these actions ultimately manifest as habits. It is often
seen in professional life when a person's optimistic attitude positively influences the job as
compared to those possessing pessimistic mind traits. Negative thinking can do anything from doubt
to limiting belief and act as a poison, commonly referred to as the Nocebo effect. Similarly, fear-based thoughts secrete certain glands and raise the level of cortisol, heartbeat and breathing rate
while imposing a negative effect on immunity. This is how the biology of belief-set has a direct
link with the human body. In the words of Bruce Lipton, “The moment you change your perception
is the moment you change your chemistry.” Your infrequent habits transform into your frequent
character. According to Einstein, “The world we have created today is because of thinking.”
Today's business market is evidence of how there is an increase in profits for the marketers who
are firmly determined. Likewise, research shows that progressive communities usually excel
because they have mentally and physically conditioned themselves in such a manner. In his book
Power of Now, author Eckhart Tolle also stresses on the mindfulness of the present moment and
its perks. Our thoughts are dependent on various factors like surroundings, books, magazines,
social media, company and social circles because everything that surrounds humans becomes a
source of reference. Consider if someone tells you to close your eyes and that they are going to
give you a big juicy yellow lemon, you will observe how instantly saliva starts producing in your
mouth. It is believed that “You become what you behold!”. Our thoughts and intentions create our
reality that becomes our lifestyle.
In The Power by writer Rhonda Byrne reflects on our firm beliefs and their role in fashioning our
identity. The significance of the power of mind over matter and how people can become healthy
or sick is based largely on the state of mind. It helps you to explore the known and unknown
corners of your mystical glory i.e. your absolute destiny. Destiny is life! Thus, the takeaway
is that your journey begins with just a thought. It is your thought process that manufactures your
mentality, spirit of life, and subsequently defines your journey in life. Thus, think good to have a
fortune that traces your eloquence and positivity in life. Remember that you have the power of
potential. Your thoughts construct your destiny and you just become what you think. As it is well
said that it is your beliefs, true or untrue, that form your world because imagination is more real
than the world you see, and the world you see reflects on your thoughts What you believe and feel
to be true is what your life will be. On the contrary, fear is the most disintegrating enemy of human
personality and in current times, anxiety is the great modern plague. Therefore, keeping yourself
calm is the need of the hour for people to grow. For every problem there is a solution, so do not
think you're the atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. Learn to re-program your mind into
thinking positive at all times, in all situations.
PCOS is a polycystic ovarian syndrome that every 7 out of 10 women are diagnosed with. It usually occurs in the reproductive years of the ... female in which small fluid-like vesicles develop, called cysts. Some of the symptoms women suffer during this period are; acne, excessive hair growth, and most importantly irregular periods. The prevention and maintenance include weight loss,as it can prevent insulin production, cholesterol disorders, hypertension, cardiac problems and type 2 diabetes. This hormonal endocrine disorder mismanages the hormonal balance. Excess of insulin due to insulin resistance in the body causes disruption in ovulation leading to abnormal menstrual cycle. Some other symptoms include excessive androgen levels, sleep apnea, and high stress levels. high blood pressure, oily skin, and dandruff or dark patches of skin, fatigue, female pattern balding, pelvic pain, depression and anxiety and decreased libido. Though, if left untreated it can lead to infertility, whereas women who conceive with PCOS encounter problems like miscarriage, premature birth and etc. As far as the treatment is concerned, there is no proper recovery other than the maintenance through some birth control pills, diabetes and fertility medications, and pills to control acne. But on a good note, diet plays a crucial role and dietary patterns should be followed strictly.
1. A low glycemic index (GI) diet: The body digests foods with a low GI more slowly, meaning they do not cause insulin levels to rise as much or as quickly as other foods, such as some carbohydrates. Foods in a low GI diet include whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, fruits, starchy vegetables, and other unprocessed, low-carbohydrate foods.
2. An anti-inflammatory diet: Anti-inflammatory foods, such as berries, fatty fish, leafy greens, and extra virgin olive oil, may reduce inflammation-related symptoms, such as fatigue.
3 The DASH diet: Doctors often recommend the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet to reduce the risk or impact of heart disease. It may also help manage PCOS symptoms. A DASH diet is rich in fish, poultry, fruits, and vegetables.
Avoid the intake of; refined carbohydrates, such as mass-produced pastries and white bread; fried foods, such as fast food; sugary beverages, such as sodas and energy drinks; processed meats, such as hot dogs, sausages; solid fats, including margarine, shortening, and lard; excess red meat, such as steaks, hamburgers, etc. Moreover, reducing stress through self-care practices, such as getting enough sleep, avoiding over-commitment, and making time to relax, can also help a person manage PCOS.
Our modern society is the only one in history that has feared sunlight without even acknowledging the glorious facts about it. UV light reacts with cholesterol in the skin to form Vitamin D which is critical to immune function and for absorption of Calcium...along with other minerals. UV light has also shown to reduce blood pressure, to increase the efficiency of the heart, to improve metabolism and weight loss, to improve hormonal profile as well as the gut microbiome with increase in libido. A recent study in cell proves that exposure to UV light stimulates testosterone levels. Sunny days anywhere have a profound effect on mood and fertility due to the brightness, whereas those who don’t get into this brightness are caught with more incidences of fatigue, sickness, insomnia, and depression leading to suicide. Since UV light is the brightest, it was used to treat deficiency of libido in men as per recent research.
If we want to restore health and humanity, we need to restore our relation with the sun. I believe we need an RDA for it.
BONUS: Stop staring at the screens all day and sitting indoors under the fake light and expose your skin to the sunlight as much as you can.
Learning, unlearning, relearning is significantly important, as the one who has been well-reputed in academics is not illiterate but the one who ...cannot distinguish the facts and figures from unreal knowledge or beliefs. It is one of the best methodologies that nourish the ideology and let it flourish with a fast pace to have a practical approach.
Of course whenever we take interest in learning something new, gathering knowledge becomes pleasurable most of the time over a specific subject and we tend to make more of our time. This is called learning.
Similarly when setting on a journey of accumulating information regarding subjects to be explored, one comes across various stages as some of its details may sound Greek, others might be logical thus easier to engulf and retain. Right here, a flexible mindset seems to be appealing as the particulars that are not hands-on. These may include unconscious beliefs, assumptions, practices, values that need to be eradicated. People usually lack courage to accept the change and let their philosophies be improved.
Annihilation of beliefs gives rise to new, fine and precise alternatives that were looked for by a quester. Seekers usually consider this stage fruitful since they meet the logic and precise reasoning. Coming to an end, the world direly needs people who think critically, relearn their perspective and develop better conception.
Whenever you learn something new your brain upgrades the software. Similarly when it comes to reading and extracting knowledge from a book, we must know that outcome ... should be the bulk of information rather than quantitative analysis, because learning new things is not complex but retaining knowledge is. With this mindset let us have a look on an abstract below:
Skim through the table of contents, index, headings, subheadings, bolded points and within a few minutes you will know the ideology of the book. If it suits your interest then go ahead with it, otherwise it is time to look for the next read. This is a crucial yet important step.
Practice plays an important role in memory development. Make sure you apply knowledge in your daily life whatever you scrutinize from books. Of course, not every book is practical but those which are relatable should be put into use meaningfully.
You should make searchable notes either in digital or analogue format that is easily accessible when needed, because ideas are only useful when you can find it when you need it.
As Charlie Munger says, “If you get into the mental habit of relating what you’re reading to the basic structure of the underlying ideas being demonstrated, you gradually accumulate some wisdom.” Form the linking system between your old and new ideas on the relatable subject. It helps to retain more information and gather knowledge.
Conclude your read into a hand-written summary. Write about the core points, central ideas by the author, also do not forget to pen down your image if you find yourself picturing yourself in your read.
You can also apply the Feynman technique; write the name of the book at the top of a blank sheet of paper, then write down how you’d explain the book to someone who had never heard of it. If you do not feel confident while describing, go back to the notes or pages of the book and then write again.
Good books are not one-time-read. Read them frequently, or at least twice to retain more of it.
HAPPY READING!
We are always chasing gold – excellence – perfection – fantasy! We have this inherent need to show off our wealth to satiate our ... desires to feel superior to others because we have forgotten the ugly truth that one day all our wealth will bury in the dust. We need to spend money to create opportunities for others. But unfortunately, our entirely fake world coexists with hollow men who claim for manhood.
There are millions of people who don’t have clean water to drink and their living condition is a nightmare. On the flip side, there are masses living the life they desire. They get what they want, exactly as if the world is in their hands. In the first world countries, people worship things, shop lavish, they have big fancy houses, giving soul, mind and emotion to things. Together as a society, we have co-created sucked up world of materialism.
One day, all these materialistic things will be nothing other than the particle of dust!
Our consciousness about dreaming fantasies will erode with the entangled worthless materialism of the world. We have just a short story of our remaining life left behind. We might become disappointed for what are we living over here, and for what we should be actually living for. We have been consumed with brand culture, new trends, and our obsessed souls. The level to which we are sucked in this materialism is nothing but appalling and shocking. It is time we serve the mother earth and practice gratitude.
Everybody has the power of imagination. Your thoughts behold reality and your reality determines your destiny. As you dive deeper ... into the roots of law of attraction, you
realize that your perception derives your genetic code, thereby controlling your
life. No two witted people can see the world in the same way. Their perceptions can
be accurate or inaccurate, authentic or unauthentic, thus it is more on target to
say that belief controls biology. Your beliefs create
your life. As it is said that: “You create everything that happens to you.” –Jack
Canfield People who passionately long for their dreams are the ones who transform
them into reality. If you choose to be happy, you amplify
your happiness and vibrate at such a frequency that generates influence on the
people around you with your happy aura. On the flip side, obsessing on the negative
energies ultimately constructs sickness or a gloomy world
for you. Your belief is the only thing that works on the inside and on the outside.
Hence, it is suffice to say that you are not the victim of your genetics. You are
responsible for what unfolds in your life.
There is a connection between a lack of sleep and anxiety. A good night’s sleep can make a person feel energized and focused and give them an overall sense of well-being. But those... who have difficulty sleeping may feel anxious and face concentration problems. Research shows that using social media at night increases anxiety as well as feelings of depression and low self-esteem. Sleep-deprived state can further lead to mental and emotional disorders. You may start having hallucinations or experiencing microsleep (when you fall asleep for few seconds to few minutes, without even realizing it). Additionally our eyes also perceive the bright light of day and the darkness of night. As darkness sets in, the body’s biological clock instructs the cells to slow down. When the evening becomes dark, the hormone melatonin starts to rise and allows sleep to occur. Melatonin peaks around 2–4 A.M. and then reduces by morning, allowing wakefulness. This is a bio-clock fixed in our bodies, medically called circadian rhythm. Having unhealthful sleep habits may disrupt the circadian clock across the day. This may include issues such as:
· Going out late and waking up early
· Having no set sleep time
· Eating and drinking late at night
· Consuming caffeine late at night
· Using electronic devices late at night
· Performing mentally stimulating activities late in the day
· Having pain or discomfort in the sleeping space
However, normal sleep hours vary from person to person; for children and infants it should be 11-17 hours, 7-9 hours for youngsters and adults, and 7-8 for older adults. Moreover, people who don’t expose themselves to sunlight suffer from low levels of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycle. Thus if you want a quality sleep, assess the importance of above principles as a medicine for cure.
Fitness industry, comprising few pillars, is way so established in this era. One of these pillars is “Posture.” As the human body is perfectly designed and scheduled, yet ... its maintenance is still our primary duty that is also a foundation of personality development. Consequently, let us have a look on the few central do’s and don’ts:
Do’s:
1. Sit straight!
2. It is necessary to strengthen up muscles especially, the spinal and abdominal muscles.
3. Exercise; lay down on an object placed at your back just at the level of your navel, join your pinkies of hands just above your head and toes of your feet below.
4. Spine and lower back workouts will certainly let your joints thank you.
5. If you wear a bag, make sure to put the weight over both of your shoulders.
6. While using the screen, there should always be a 30cm distance between your eyes and the electronic object.
Don’ts:
1. Avoid a slouched posture as it crushes the nerve-endings.
2. Refrain from hunch-posture that induces pressure on organs; disturbing normal working of heart, abdomen and limbs.
3. Desist from saggy position as it can distort internal organs from their origins.
4. Don’t lower your head while reading a book or using a phone.
5. While using the keyboard of your system, make sure not to tilt your 90 degree angle of hands.
6. Do not lean over the steering while driving. Instead, pull your seat towards it and drive with ease.
Urging to work hard never guarantees scoring high GPAs. Studying smarter does! Adopt techniques to learn faster and better
1. Observe your primary channel that helps you assimilate information. It can be any of your basic senses. Your eyes or ears! Either you are visual and try to see information and get it right, using audio notes proves to be your savior, ...or the writing notes/drawing/ highlighting/drawing flowcharts does.
2. Categorize your work into daily, weekly and monthly to-do lists.
3. Have handouts of ideas outlines of the topics provided to you by your teacher to Retain information. Do it while revising too. While studying, go through this scheme.
4. Print out presentation either printed or ppt form having every possible important fact. Have a look over the highlights/titles/topics so that you can easily figure out what you need to revise at the last moment.
5. People take notes. Explore what helps you either handwritten notes or typed notes and then printing them out.
6. Prioritize revising the information within the first 24 hours after hearing it. Remember we retain 80% of information in the brain at the moment, and revising after a week retains 100% of it.
7. You can lessen your curve of forgetting by reading from the textbook (within 24 hours), highlighting important points; rewriting them keeping in mind the textbook, Ppt presentation, and points from your lecture.
8. Skim! Extract important points in a shorter time by having a glance of chief words only. Instance: reading introduction then first and last line of next paragraph, mid-lines of another paragraph and so on. Do not do this line to line. This trick works wonders in literature topics, academic journals, theories, .
9. Do not underestimate full-good quality sleep. If you are taking your exam in a state of dysania, your mind would probably not interpret information rather collapse.
10. Environment should be appealing and suitable and you should be alone while studying. It could be a neat and clean desk, nothing scattered or so. Other people can be messy creators, just know what works for you.
11. Watch what you are eating. Eating can nourish you but can make you sleepy. That is why people usually have their naps after they have meals. Accordingly, staying hungry is an important element. Empty stomach helps you concentrate and deliver better. Even if you snack first for studies then go for a break, have a meal, take tea, walk and study more! Do not do this in the same venue.
The changes in our health and genes which have been observed in the past years have eroded our fitness due to the unhealthy lifestyle, detrimental ...food regime and so on. Such junk patterns lead to sugar levels and give rise to cardiovascular disorders, problems of the brain, PCOS, inflammation, cancer, male impotency, and liver diseases. The root-cause of all of these diseases is carbohydrates and sugar. It is an hour of need to admit carbohydrates as the enemy. Thus we are right to conclude that they cause insulin resistance which is the major cause of health penalties today. Many years ago, Prof. Jason Fung, a nephrologist, had alarmed the world that modern ailments will only be caused by diet. Nevertheless they will be 100% reversible too. To construe it up, diet is our only savior from the dreadful number of disorders that are inclining to alarming levels day by day. Just because of unhealthy dietary patterns we become prey to chronic kidney diseases, retinopathy, and amputation of toes, unhealthy cholesterol, and high blood pressure, neurodegenerative problems. Consequently, it is much necessary to acknowledge diet and to have check and balance of the kind of nutrients we are consuming. Consume good carbohydrates instead of bad ones! We need to stay healthy and unstoppable!
There is a pressing need to educate masses regarding supporting small-scale businesses as they constitute a major share of the economy. Small ...scale industries should be reinforced and
promoted to encourage and financially support the businessmen to increase
their productivity and help them expand their line of work. This way, the market
remains regulated and affordable for consumers belonging to each and every
socioeconomic segment. Additionally, the stability of a local business
is directly related with its reach, sales and profit earned. Initiating from the
scratch, with limited resources and capital to sustain long-term, these businesses
are more prone to collapse if not supported. Hence, they
have to work harder to attain limelight and grab audience in the market. The
important thing is that unlike lavish designer brands that loot their clients at
triple rates and preach an extravagant lifestyle, small-scale
businesses charge way less and target a wider population. Let us all educate
ourselves with the idea of simpler living and need-based worthwhile shopping
experience that benefits not only the clients, but facilitates the
entrepreneurs to fuel up their business spaces.
Common Asian seeds called sesame seeds are healthy little bombs of plant protein, fiber and vitamin B. The production of Sesamum indicum plant defends against heart disease, diabetes and arthritis. Since it is
...
fiber-enriched, it is good for digestive health, cancer and obesity. High cholesterol and triglycerides are also frequently lowered. Such seeds prove to be a good nutritional source that builds muscles and hormones in a body. If taken punctually, sesame seeds would reduce systolic blood pressure up to 6%. Additionally, its anti-inflammatory property reduces inflammation. A compound of sesamin may aid blood cell formation and sugar control. Above all, sesame seeds are a good source of strong immunity and good thyroid health. They also aid hormonal balance during menopause. Sesame seeds are edible-friendly, can be taken along breakfast. They occur in two types; white sesame seeds and black. Black ones are again good for hair and skin treatment. These anti-aging seeds inhibit UV rays from entering skin. Sesame seeds are also equally good for nursing mothers.
It is observed that muscles get harsh on us after workouts. It is the evidence of any hard activity performed by muscles that screams now. Basically, it is known as
...
DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). It is caused by tiny tears created in muscle fibers due to heavy duty. But then again, no worries! It is a gesture of fitness and accurate moves in workout, and it does not last long. In case it worsens, here we are with few tricks that are going to defend you against muscle soreness. Most primarily, one needs to be functional physically. This may seem like a fatigue especially when you want to cling the sofa all the time. But no biggie! You definitely need to devote your time to rest and relaxation beside workout. So that your muscles get set on to replenish and repair themselves, but make sure that they are in an elevated position. Pain remains in between 24-72 hours, ensure giving some heat via a heated towel or a pad to circulate blood. Or having a warm bath can also help you in this case. Try a massage or ice therapy to help muscles heal their wounds. For that regard, make sure to wrap ice in towel or in any other stuff. Then apply it for 20 minutes over the pain. However, it can also be treated by medications like aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen. Besides, one needs to assure his healthy training by refraining from lifting an object that is too heavy or improper lifting styles, poor body posture, direct workouts without getting warmed-up, or overuse of a muscle. Last but not the least fact is that eccentric exercises take time from your muscles. Thus, do not rush straight towards heavy exercises.
Cholesterol-phobia had circulated all over the world in the old days. It has been considered a tocsin. Nonetheless, today with fast internet technology, it takes little effort to search the details and reveal secrets. Consequently...
today we are going to debunk myths about cholesterol. Cholesterol was, and still it is, somewhat considered that it attacks the heart and blocks the blood vessels. But no! The major cause of this blockage is insulin resistance, instead of cholesterol. Before insulin resistance, arteries/veins suffer from inflammation, due to which cholesterol has to repair that part. There would be no life without cholesterol. It is a fat that our body makes 3000 mg per day. Secondly, each cell of our body contributes to making cholesterol each day. Thus, the more you consume good cholesterol the less the body has to make.
Let’s further have a look on health benefits of cholesterol:
1. Primary constituent of cell membranes.
2. 25% of cholesterol is synthesized by the brain.
3. Helps in composition of hormones.
4. Formation of bile.
5. Used in vitamin D synthesis when exposed to sunlight.
To conclude, it would be an illusion to consider cholesterol as health-penalty or that it blocks the blood vessels since it does not block them up, rather it repairs the injury that had occurred there. Likewise, it is necessarily important to assure whether the body is provided with HDL (good cholesterol) or not.
Heck, they are so darn delicious who says no!
Fast food is highly processed having lots of carbohydrates, added sugars, unhealthy fats and preservatives. They have way too excessive calories but provide poor or little nutrition that leads to ...
all sorts of bad health outcomes. Most primarily, the poor integumentary system gets into trouble. Let’s say; acne, for which we need to blame white flour, sugar and carbohydrates. Such foods contain Trans fatty acids that are formed by hydrogenation of natural oils. They are detrimental to health as the recent studies have shown that the people who were living on fast edibles were more likely to have cardiovascular problems. Secondly, when you take lots of Sodium, it causes your body to retain water that further causes bloating. Fast foods not only have worse physical effects but it also causes declined-cognitive functioning. Since fast foods have no dietary fiber that assists intestines to lubricate the waste material, it leads to constipation. In addition to it, intake of fast foods is the worst culprit of diabetes and obesity due to the fact that they have plentiful amounts of calories. It can also put stress over the heart, leading to blood pressure and many other problems. You may have observed that post-fast-food effects include being lethargic or feeling of gastric acidity. Fast foods also lead to tooth decay. Risk of high blood pressure, cirrhosis, kidney stones, and bone weakening gets doubled. Recent research proves that fast foods contain phthalates which are harmful to hormones, thus getting the reproductive system into trouble due to ineffective hormonal production. Moreover, your cholesterol levels could also skyrocket. Lastly, it is too quick yet too environmentally unfriendly. Therefore let’s say no together before it collectively burns many lives
Diabetes has a couple of curing-tracks, be it either through nutrition or fitness. Throwing light on fitness, we have various exercises that a diabetic needs ... to chase.
1. The very foremost practice should be LISS from aerobics which is abbreviated as Low Intensity Steady State. LISS eases you with your workout as well as breathing mechanism; you can also talk to someone without running a shortage of oxygen. Such fat-burning exercise can be carried at long intervals i.e. 2-3 hours. It reduces your stress and strain due to lowering of cortisol level. Slow jogging, walking, or yoga also come along its way.
2. Another athletic trick is anaerobic exercise such as running, jogging, playing outdoor games etc. Such exercises end up huffing and puffing. It is usually not recommended to diabetic (type 2), to old people and to those suffering cardiac troubles. Since it inclines stress, blood sugar, and insulin.
3. HIIT (high intensity interval training) has further helped mankind. It should not be prolonged more than a minute. Thus one can carry it thrice a week.
4. HIWT (high intensity weight training) has a law that one needs to weigh before a cardio walk. 10 REPS are enough for it. Weight training actually embodies muscle mass which increases BMR that further inclines output of calories.
5. HIRT (high intensity resistance training) is another easy-peasy exercise. To carry this, you must recover your workout since it inclines your cortisol levels. It includes squats, pushups, and band bicep curls.
It is important to avoid harsh exercises to avoid reinjuring the muscles and your joints. Consult your doctor in case of a severe immobility problem.

So one may not be afraid if they have a tumor that it is cancerous.
2. What are the signs and symptoms of a tumor?
The signs and symptoms include formation of space forming lesions that exert pressure inside the head leading to the early morning headaches, vomiting (that relieves headache), dysfunction of the nerves that are having brain tumors; for instance, a tumor on auditory nerve may result in hearing loss) leading to neurological deficit (abnormal function of the body area), seizures, etc.
3. What leads to formation of a tumor?
Some tumors can be genetic, or formed due to exposure of radiation, whereas other causes may include neurofibromatosis. But many still do not have a proper cause. Syndromes are genetic, on the other hand, others are sporadic brain tumors that are without any particular reason.
4. Is surgery the only source to escape?
Basically it requires scanning and imaging in order to be diagnosed. After proper diagnosis through CT scan and MRI, there are multiple options for treatments. If a tumor is benign or malignant with not more than 3cm is given a non-surgical treatment.
5. What is stereotactic radiosurgery?
Non-surgical treatment is also known as radiosurgery in which focused radiations are thrown on the specific margins of the tumor without radiating the normal brain anatomy. Machines used for this purpose are known as CyberKnife, Gamma knife and the therapy is called stereotactic radiosurgery. They either vanish tumor or bring it under control for a long period of time.
Thus it is important to note that not all tumors require surgery or radiation.
Food safety practices are crucially vital for our health and wellbeing. Improper food handling techniques give rise to food borne diseases due to which approximately 600 million ...
people suffer from foodborne diseases. The high risk individuals like babies, elderly, pregnant moms, immune-compromised, HIV, or cancer patients are more prone to such diseases which occur due to bacterial, viral or fungal attacks. These tiny prolific organisms proactively increase their number upon entering the body. These smallest, mysterious and energetic creatures belong to three different groups; the good ones - help to produce food and drink (cheese, yogurt, fermented meat, vegetables), less harmful ones - produce foul smell and taste bad but do not cause diseases, and the bad ones - this kind is horrifying type of deceitful creatures that may not smell or taste bad but are dangerous to our health. These pathogenic microorganisms cause severe illnesses like food poisoning, stomachache, nausea, diarrhea, and even death. But fortunately, no matter how terrifying their traits are, they are vulnerable and we can get rid of them by taking care of following precautions for safer food production:
· High level of personal hygiene and practices like timely handwashing
· Better handling, preparation and storage of food
· Keeping food clean to prevent contamination
· Proper cleaning and sanitizing of all surfaces of equipment and utensils
· Keeping food at safe temperatures either hot or cold to prevent bacterial growth
· Use of safe water and raw material to avoid contamination
· Separation of raw and cooked foods to avoid cross contamination

(fear, fight, and flight), it produces adrenaline; a hormone released from the sympathetic system, increasing cortisol levels. Contrary to it, the parasympathetic nervous system has 2R power (rest and relax/digest). As far as nowadays the situation is concerned, there’s constant hustle and bustle everywhere that has transformed our acute stress to chronic stress. It reveals that modern stress is indulged into every activity from rising early in the morning up to hitting the hay at night. This unstoppable exposure to stress produces adrenaline excessively which in turn increases cortisol, LDL, blood sugar, blood pressure, heart rate and breathing levels. That is why top-selling drugs currently are that of antidepressant drugs. Following are the only solutions that lie in living a simple treasurable life.

How can you lift your productivity as exponential as 100 times? First thing that pops up in mind is the sense of capturing the criteria of people being creative and productive at the ...
same time. Despite the era of digital distractions, psychology of procrastination and much more, the majority of us still strive for excellence. Excelling at this, we are with the following golden rules showing the bright side to us:
1. Refrain from spending your finest hours of the day on distractions. Invest your time in what is worth working for. Here, Robin Sharma is of the view; “90/90/1 rule _ For the next 90 days, spend 90 minutes of your day on your single most important game changing opportunity.” If you begin devoting time to unimportant things in the beginning of the day, your performance, energy, willpower and focus would be all messed up, and you may miss out on a life changing move. Consequently, consume your most energetic morning hours at worthy pieces of work.
2. Adapt the fine environment. Distractions like noise, or even toxic people are obstacles to your quality-work. Install environments of tight bubbles of focus where you are absolutely distraction-free. So that your brain could drop from the beta state that is fast, alert and attentive into the alpha state which is calm and stress-free.
3. If you want to be a high performer populate yourself with a peer group who is doing great and is exactly where you see your future. Mirror neuron systems are naturally built-in humans that are indirectly related to the law of attraction. It models the behaviors, including the environment we live in, or the people we live with. Thus, if you spend most of your time with mediocre performers; your mind would subconsciously start pronouncing and behaving like them.
4. Last but not the least is learning minimalism. You can reach an ultra-productive level while having a minimalistic mindset. As it is said that the secret to genius is not complexity but simplicity. History assures this fact greatly when iconic productivity comes to Picasso; a world class at just a few things. Thus, we can master our projects quite efficiently following the above golden principles.

We are more likely to place chicken on the top shelf of meals. Research shows ... that white meat, despite the fact that it has plenty of nutrients, can be the biggest cause of health concerns. First and foremost point to ponder is to limitize the quantity of its consumption. Overdose of chicken can lead to food poisoning and diarrhea. Cooking or grilling chicken induces a vast amount of carcinogens that can lead to cancer. Commercial poultry birds are a source of intestinal bacteria like Salmonella, E.coli, and Enterococcus etc. Genetically modified chicken has diverse elements in its fodder that are normally refrained in diets. Vets are usually given arsenic in their diet that is hazardous to cardiac and neurological health. They become a carrier of disease to its consumers and also cause obesity. It is important to acknowledge that commercial poultry breeds can highly risk your health, and can be cruel to your maintained-weight. In fact, free range desi can be the best choice as its alternative ever.

First few golden rules from, “Forty Rules of Love.” ... Rule no. 1: “How we see God is a direct reflection of how we see ourselves. If God brings to mind mostly fear and blame, it means there is too much fear and blame welled inside us. If we see God as full of love and compassion, so are we.
Rule no. 2: “The path to the Truth is a labor of the heart, not of the head. Make your heart your primary guide! Not your mind. Meet, challenge, and ultimately prevail over your nafs with your heart. Knowing your self will lead you to the knowledge of God.”
Rule no. 3: “Each and every reader comprehends the Holy Quran on a different level in tandem with the depth of his understanding. There are four levels of insight. The first level is the outer meaning and it is the one that the majority of the people are content with. Next is the Batini_the inner level. Third, there is the inner of the inner. And the fourth level is so deep it cannot be put into words and is therefore bound to remain indescribable.”
Rule no. 4: “You can study God through everything and everyone in the universe, because God is not confined in a mosque, synagogue, or church. But if you are still in need of knowing where exactly His abode is, there is only one place to look for Him: in the heart of a true lover.”
Rule no. 5: “Intellect and love are made of different materials. Intellect ties people in knots and risks nothing, but love dissolves all tangles and risks everything. Intellect is always cautious and advises, ‘Beware too much ecstasy,’ whereas love says, ‘Oh, never mind! Take the plunge! Intellect does not easily break down, whereas love can effortlessly reduce itself to rubble. But treasures are hidden among ruins. A broken heart his treasures.”

fourth industrial revolution. A.I. means teaching the machine and making the machine becoming smart. An Artificial Intelligent Machine learns by itself and not by explicit programming. Today, machine learning is combating one of the leading causes of blindness, and enabling people with a neurological disease like A-L-S (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) to communicate with their surroundings. A.I. is changing the way we think about the mind and body.
Besides, advancement in A.I has made it possible for a machine to compete like an athlete, write a movie, and bring autonomous self-driving cars into existence through reinforcement learning. Currently, NASA is using A.I to build habitat autonomously on Mars using reinforcement learning for the space explorers before they arrive at Mars.
Today Network Science Institute at Northeastern University in Boston claims that they can model the whole physical world using the available data and computing power.
Suppose you want to dive into A.I. and wish to learn about how to integrate A.I. applications in your daily routine tasks or your business. In that case, there is a free course offered through Coursera Inc by Professor Andrew Ng. To see course details,

Women never enjoyed the prestige and footing as they stand by it now. Even in patriarchal societies, women have been out-performing their due-roles in every walk of life with their ...twofold productive capacity as compared to men.
They deserve to be treated with utmost esteem to equip them with social, financial
and matrimonial independence. Their involvement in every field of life outshines
their social
capabilities. Women preserve human race and are entitled to freedom of sentiments to
put forward their opinions on public, legislative and religious matters. Therefore,
they must be designated to pursue their passions.
Without their involvement, the pace of scientific and technological development of
one’s nation would be extremely compromised. The global history is full of the names
of the rising stars who were eminent pundits, poets,
teachers, suffis and businesswomen exiling in their respective fields. Women have
been illuminating their potentials since forever in the form of Hellen Keller,
Benazir Bhutto or Margaret Thatcher. Currently, these
beacons of hope are Hilary Clinton, Angelina Jolie, Malala Yousafzai, Oprah Winfrey,
Jane Goodall, Beyonce, Jacinda Ardern and so on. Even in digital space, they have
earned a significant place by becoming influencers,

Our everlasting lust for skin whiteness has originated from prehistoric colonial times. As a result, many individuals in our societies,... especially females, are fed with a burden of
attaining white skin tone at the risk of identity crisis. To address our
complex for darker skin, we have been advertising makeup products or cosmetics with
an intention to lighten our original skin color. Is to remember that the brownness
of our skin is a blessing in disguise as our melanin
production is anatural process of shielding our skin. Each of us has been blessed
with the best of our features. And as far as the makeup is concerned, it should only
be done to enhance your features or modify our looks
with elegance. To whiten the skin tone is a fallacy. Excess of anything is
unnecessary and futile. Still, many of our beauty clinics and salons, including the
skin-whitening industry, have overlooked this aspect. They prey
on the insecurities of their customers, loot them and rob them of their identities.
Therefore, it is important to teach our children that they are beautiful no matter
what their skin color is. We have to create awareness
on the concept of “being you.” So why should not we praise Almighty for what we are
born with, rather than pretending to be what we are not!.
