The Origins of the Ukraine War: How the Crisis Arose

Ukraine: Russia signals possible shift in war strategy

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is Europe’s largest military buildup since World War II. Here’s how it happened and what’s at risk for Russia, the US, and NATO.

It felt like a Cold War scene, a frightening incident from a bygone period. An unstable Russian leader was mobilizing troops and tanks on the border with a neighbor. There was apprehension of a deadly East-West conflict.

Then the Cold War turned hot: Vladimir V. Putin’s ordered Russian forces to invade Ukraine. The repercussions were immediate, and far-reaching.

Ukraine conflict: Mixed messages over peace talks as Russia calls for new world order with China

Following the commencement of Russia’s full-fledged invasion on February 24, the greatest mobilization of forces in Europe since 1945 is now underway. So far, Moscow has been denied the quick success it expected, and has failed to conquer significant cities around the nation, including the capital, Kyiv. It has been hampered by an underprepared military and has encountered fierce opposition from Ukrainian forces and civilian resistance fighters. Nonetheless, Russia has greater military might, and Mr. Putin has stated that his ultimate objective is to conquer Kiev, destabilise Ukraine’s democratically elected government, and swallow the nation into Russia’s orbit.

The conflict has taken a catastrophic humanitarian toll and killed thousands of people. It has also caused more than three million people to escape Ukraine, resulting in what the UN has described as the world’s fastest-growing refugee crisis since World War II.

Several rounds of diplomatic discussions between Russia and Ukraine have failed to bring the conflict to an end. The United States and the European Union have banded together to levy some of the harshest economic penalties ever imposed on Mr. Putin’s regime. Hundreds of Western enterprises, including manufacturing, energy companies, merchants, and fast-food chains such as McDonald’s, have halted operations in Russia, effectively reversing the country’s openness to the West.

What is the cause of the Ukraine crisis?

After the Soviet Union disintegrated in the early 1990s, NATO pushed eastward, eventually absorbing the majority of the European states that had been under Communist control. NATO members include the Baltic republics of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, who were previously part of the Soviet Union, as well as Poland, Romania, and others.

Mr. Putin has labelled the dissolution of the Soviet Union as one of the worst disasters of the twentieth century, depriving Russia of its due place among the world’s major powers. During his 22 years in leadership, he has spent the majority of his time strengthening Russia’s military and reasserting its geopolitical dominance.

The Russian president sees NATO’s growth as dangerous, and the possibility of Ukraine joining it as a big threat. Russia’s objections about NATO have been increasingly harsh as it has gotten more aggressive and militarily powerful. He has frequently raised the idea of American ballistic missiles and combat soldiers in Ukraine, despite the fact that authorities from the United States, Ukraine, and NATO all claim there are none.

What is Putin’s goal?

Mr. Putin looks determined to turn back the clock more than 30 years, building a vast, Russian-dominated security zone reminiscent of the clout Moscow possessed during the Soviet era. Now 69 years old and potentially nearing the end of his political career, he plainly wants to reintegrate Ukraine, a country of 44 million people, into Russia’s sphere of influence.

Russia submitted NATO and the US with a series of formal requests in December, claiming that they were required to maintain its security. The most important of them are guarantees that Ukraine will never join NATO, that NATO will reduce its forces in the Eastern European nations that have already joined, and that the 2015 cease-fire in Ukraine will be enforced — though Moscow and Kyiv differ fiercely on what that would entail.

Russia, Blocked From the Global Internet, Plunges Into Digital Isolation

The Russian president may also attempt to excite domestic nationalists by emphasizing on an external danger, as he has done in the past. Nonetheless, since the invasion began, hundreds of Russians have come to the streets to protest the war, some at considerable personal danger.

What is the United States’ response?

The US has delivered anti-tank and anti-aircraft weaponry to Ukraine, strengthened American military presence in NATO nations bordering Russia, and ordered 7,000 extra troops to Europe. In order to reassure NATO partners in Eastern Europe, the Pentagon has approved the deployment of an armored brigade combat team to Germany. Administration sources also warned that the US may lend its support to a Ukrainian rebellion.

Mr. Biden has announced harsh sanctions aimed at cutting off Russia’s largest banks and some oligarchs from much of the global financial system and preventing the country from importing critical American technology for its defense, aerospace, and maritime industries, vowing to make Mr. Putin a “pariah.” Mr. Biden has also prohibited Russian energy imports into the US and sanctioned the company behind an energy pipeline between Russia and Germany.

Russia continues to deny planning military action against Ukraine, despite massing 100,000 troops nearby.

What is the Mystery behind Greek Alphabet

Aside from the host sending you out for daring to bring up such a topic at any social event, you’ll almost certainly send shivers down the spines of anyone unfortunate enough to be in your vicinity. You don’t need a Harvard Psychology degree to recognize that the cryptic topic of math is a standard villain when it comes to buried childhood memories.

Was the invention of the Greek alphabet a big step forward?

The Greek alphabet is a writing system that originated in Greece about the year 1000 BCE. All current European alphabets have it as a direct or indirect ancestor. The Greek alphabet, which was derived from the North Semitic alphabet via the Phoenicians, was changed to make it more efficient and accurate for writing a non-Semitic language by adding several new letters and modifying or removing many others.

History of Latin Alphabet

Most importantly, some of the Semitic alphabet’s symbols that only represented consonants were changed to represent vowels: the Semitic consonants alef, he, yod, ayin, and vav became the Greek letters alpha, epsilon, iota, omicron, and upsilon, respectively, representing the vowels a, e, I o, and u. The inclusion of vowel sound symbols substantially improved the writing system’s precision and readability for non-Semitic languages.

Prior to the fifth century BCE, the Greek alphabet may be split into two major branches: Ionic (Eastern) and Chalcidian (Western). The distinctions between the two branches were small. In the eighth century BCE, the Chalcidian alphabet most likely gave rise to the Etruscan alphabet of Italy, and therefore indirectly to the other Italic alphabets, including the Latin alphabet, which is today used for most European languages.

However, in 403 BCE, Athens formally accepted the Ionic alphabet as written at Miletus, and over the next 50 years, nearly all local Greek alphabets, including the Chalcidian, were supplanted by the Ionic script, which became the Classical Greek alphabet.

What are the Common Applications for Greek Letters

The Greek Language

From the outside, math can appear to be a foreign language, specifically designed to confuse anyone who dares to look at it. Daunting equations, convoluted calculations, dizzying formulae, from the outside in, math can appear to be a foreign language, explicitly designed to bamboozle anyone who dares to cast their gaze on it. And, yes, all of these theorems, equations, and bizarre functions are required because arithmetic is absolute; there is no grey area, dispute, or conjecture in math. The language in question is, of course, Greek.

Here are Some Applications we can Found Greek Letters

Science, Math, and Engineering
Medicine
Weather Forcasting

1) Applications in Science, Math, and Engineering

Pythagoras, an intriguing Greek philosopher and mathematician. Born in Samos, Greece, about 570 BC, the name Pythagoras is now emblazoned in math textbooks all around the world, most often as a synonym for that elegant triangle theorem. What’s the name of it again? Pythagoras’ Theorem, to be sure. Mathematicians are brilliant, but they need to improve their creative abilities.

Greek Mathematics: The Beginning of Greek Math & Greek Numerals

Pythagoras established a school of thought based on the idea that numbers can describe the cosmos. There are many stories and legends surrounding this enigmatic figure. One of these Pythagorean thinkers (commonly assumed to be Hippasus) discovered the existence of irrational numbers, according to legend. Until then, the Pythagoreans thought that all numbers were expressed as the ratio of integers. So it raised feathers when Hippasus, or whoever it was, waltzed in with these bizarre numbers that refused to fit into the Pythagorean pattern.

Let’s get to know most popular symbols used in science

First, consider the lowercase letters. In physics, the letter alpha is frequently used to symbolize alpha particles. It is also used to describe absorption factor, angles, angular acceleration, attenuation constant, common-base currentam pilifition factor, deviation of state parameter, temperature coefficient of resistance, thermal expansion coefficient, and thermal diffusivity in sciences and engineering.

Beta represents – second angle of a triangle, and it’s just as common as alpha. It also reflects a Type II statistical mistake (probability of incorrectly failing to reject a null hypothesis).

A beta of one indicates that a stock will move in lockstep with the market. Low beta stocks, on the other hand, are “defensive” (e.g., utility stocks, as theoretically, people will always need these). A stock with a high beta is more volatile and riskier, with larger rewards and risks (small-cap stocks tend to have higher betas).

Gamma rays are a kind of radiation. This is one of the most prevalent uses of the lowercase letter, whereas the uppercase letter is used to indicate a boundary limit in a 2D finite element analysis. Electrical conductivity and the Grueneisen parameter are also shown.

the heat capacity ratio, Euler constant – it is fair to say that gamma is also one of the big boys when it comes to how often it appears across math and science.

2) Application in Medicine

Hippocrates, known today as “the father of medicine,” was the most prominent and perhaps most influential medical person in ancient Greece.

Nature vs Superstition

As Greek doctors began to ponder if all illnesses and disorders had a natural source, they began to contemplate treating illness with natural treatments. Until then, the most common type of medicine had been incantations and attempts to ward off bad spirits.

Alexander the Great transformed Greece into a vast empire that spanned the Middle East around 300 B.C.E. The Greeks created Alexandria in Egypt, transforming it into a major educational and intellectual hub.

Asklepios was the Greek god of healing, and his temple, Asklepion, was located at Epidaurus. This and other temples eventually evolved into health spas, gymnasiums, public baths, and sports stadiums.

Some physicians treated their patients before transporting them to the temple to sleep. They expected Asklepios’ daughters, Hygeia and Panacea, to appear with two holy snakes that would heal the patients they were treating.

What can we learn from Ancient Greek medicine?

Modern use of Letters in Medicine

COVID-19 The World Health Organization stated Monday that varieties would be designated by letters of the Greek alphabet to avoid stigmatizing the countries where they were initially discovered.

The new method applies to the most concerning variations of interest, four of which are now in circulation, as well as the second-level variants of interest being tracked.

“They are not intended to replace current scientific names; rather, they are intended to facilitate public discussion,” Maria Van Kerkhove, WHO’s COVID-19 technical head, stated.

Aside from these designations, each mutation has two other scientific names, and multiple geographic names have been used to designate the same variation.

Within the United Kingdom, for example, what other nations refer to as the British form is commonly referred to as the Kent variant, after the county in southeast England where it was originally found.

Would we, on the other hand, ever want it to change? They may be difficult to draw for the aesthetically impaired, such as me. However, there is an undeniable pleasure in utilizing them. They’re a touch distinctive, a little out of the ordinary. When you scribble one on your paper, you instantly feel trendy, as if your page has become more exquisite;

There you have it: a fast review on the significance of Greek letters in different professions specially in science, mathematics, Medicine etc. I hope you have got a quite impression in this area

Black Magic & Necromancy in Your Life !! Part 2

Incantation

In LATIN incantare, meaning “spoiled, charmed, enchanted and sorcered,” the word “encantare” is based on a proto- Indo-European kan- prefix, with its profound, linguistic rootedness. It is also possible to say that a delight or charmer casts or expresses magic sorts.

Words similar to magic, charms and spells are the effects of incantation being spoken. You must be enchanted with an amulet, commonly believed to be induced by charms or spells.

1) In folklore and fiction

Magic formulas are often tied to an entity in typical fairy stories. It helps to change the entity as the incantation is spoken. These tales provide incantations to a wand of spells used by the magicians, sorcerers and godmothers of the fairy. An example is the spell of a coach, “Bibbidi- Bobbidi-Boo,” a rhyme of nonsense that echoes more serious historical incanto, which Cinderella’s Fairy Godmoster used to transform a kitchen.

2) Modern uses and interpretations

Their anonymity and exclusivity are a possible source of word power. Much sacred vocabulary is sufficiently distinct from that of the general language so that the rest of the people cannot understand and can only be understood and used by specialists (magicians, priests, shamans, even mullahs). Tambiah suggests in this connection that mystical languages contravene the main purpose of language: connectivity.

But magicians may use the mystical role of words and respect them by faith in the intrinsic strength and the importance of the words themselves for those who understand them. Thus Tambiah concludes, “The remarkable disjunction that occur as a general reality between the sacred and profane languages is not inherently connected with the need for the exclusive embodying of sacred vocabulary.

Incantational Verse in animated series

Lamia

Stop all lamias if you hire a babysitter. Lamia refers to a female demon as a generic name. The word is from Greek lamia, which means “sweet beast.” Lamia was particularly known to devor children in Greek mythology. She began well enough: a beautiful Libyan queen who was hooked up in Zeus. Zeus’s wife Hera did not kindly receive the news, theft Lamia of her Zeus-born children, to which Lamia reacted by killing children of other people—as much as she could. Lamia was also used in Athenian mothers’ fearful strategies and in writing by John Keats’s likes.

Who is a Lamia?

1) Lamia’s eyes

According to one story, Hera denied Lamia sleeping, continually complaining about her children’s absence, and Zeus relieved her by giving her removable eyes. He also gave her the opportunity to change the form.
Diodor rationalized that in her intoxicated state, the Libyan Queen was as though she did not see, causing her people to rein free in any behaviour that was unchecked, creating the folkloric story that she put her eyes in a boat.

Hera, King Zeus’ consort, has gossed out her eyes from stunning Lamia, according to Heraclito’s euhemerised account.

2) Identification as a serpent-woman

For example, Diodorus Siculus (f. 1st century BC) mentions Lamia of Libya only as a festive figure. Diodorus, Duris de Samos and other texts that make up Lamia’s “archetypal” pictures do not refer to her as a dragoness, or offer her specific accounts of serpentine architecture.

The 1st century life of Tyan’s Apollo is often called “a serpent,” which can appear to be just a metaphorical phrase to the contemporary reader, but which Daniel Ogden maintains is a literal serpent.

In his poetry Lamia Keats reworked the Philostratus’s tale, show that she has the clothing of a snake she wants to give up on.

Modern critics have attempted by inference to determine that, at first, she was a dragoness. David Ogden claims that the “scaly gait” of the Argos monster who was killed by Coroebus was one of his potential re-incarnations, suggesting that in an early version, it was essential for her to have an anguipedal shape, while, in Statius the Latin text read simply “slides” .

Bruja

Since the 19th century Bruja has been speaking in English about witches, but he did so in Spanish even before that. Unlike most Spanish words, bruja and its masculinity come from an unknown word which, as the predecessors of the Portuguese bruxa and the Catalan bruixa, means “witch” not from Latin, but from a non-Indo-European source. The brouhaha is not associated with the Hebrew expression which is supposed to follow (by French), which means “blessed is he who joins.”

Early Brujería was documented until the 19th century, in which the archbishop of Santo Domingo and fifth bishop of Puerto Rico, Nicolás Ramos, recorded his memories of ‘the black brujos, who had engaged the devil in a goat form and cursed the God, Santa María and the Holy Church every day in front of this goat.” Ramos wrote, “They have not believed in a god nor the devil…” These rituals were practiced in a number of fields…not in visions, because there were a few people who saw them.”

At the end of the 1800s and the beginning of the 1900s, under American occupation, many Afro-Cuban institutions and organisations – including Brujería – undermined the legitimacy.

A stronger respect for orthodoxy and divergence from “cruel manifestations” came from the development of one Cuban identity. The deterioration of religious traditions in Cuba due to the growth of Marxism from 1959 to the 1990s, however, leads to Afro Cuban religious practitioners who need to find imaginative means of surviving political informants from Castro who called for witchcraft and Brujería in particular to be abolished.

Bruja aka witches in latin cultures

Goety

Black magic or witchcraft in which the assistance of evil spirits is invoked
Goety

If you choose a black magic word that is both dark and archaic, do not go beyond goddess. Necromancy can also do the trick, but why settle down for the less dark and more peaty term? Goety also has a similar adjective, Goethe.

Goety (which traces chillingly back to the Greek term ‘scream, cry, lament’) is traditionally opposed to theurgy that refers to the technique or the art of convincing or persuading a deity to do or reflecting on something.

In Harry Potter’s Prisoners of Azkaban , the guards are in form of Goeties

Necromancy

In the first part of necromance, the Greek term necros is derived from “dead body” or “dead human.” The second element comes from the Greek word manteuesthai, which means “to God, prophecy.” The Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans and the Etruscans practiced necromancy in the ancient days, but in mediterranean Europe, it was condemned and could lead you into any trouble.

When necromancers raise the undead, either summons their minds to appear, to vision or to raise them to a body, to divinize, to spread the means to predict events of the future, to find secret wisdom, to bring someone from the dead back or to use the dead as an ax. Often called ‘Death magic,’ the word can also be used to refer to black magic or witchcraft in a more general context.

Origin of Necromancy

1) Late Middle Ages to Renaissance

In the aftermath of inconsistency in judgement, magical necromeans and others may use spells of holy names with impunity since some biblical references could be interpreted as prayers rather than spells in certain rituals. The result is an extension of these theoretical comprehensions of the necromancy in the Munich Manual. The writers of the manual have thoughtfully planned the book to conflict with ecclesiastical law. It has been proposed. The key recipe included in the whole manual was alongside demonic names the same religious language and influence.

The myths in occult manuals are similar to stories from the literary practices of other civilizations. For starters, the ceremony for the conjuration of a horse is closely related to the Arabic 1000 and 1 night romances and French romance.

Some Anicent scripts related to Necromancy

2)Modern era

Today, necromancy is most often used as a metaphor for describing or pretending the manipulation of death or death, often made possible by the use of blood magic or some other type of magical ceremony. Necromancy is the basis for contemporary sessions, channeling, and spiritualism if so-called ghosts are asked to disclose potential events or hidden knowledge. Necromancy may also be presented as the branch of theurgical sorcery, sciomancy.

Supernatural Chicago and the Harry Houdini annual meeting will be presented in the Chicago night club Excalibur in Illinois on their themes of spiritual communication, dubbed their lead actor ‘Neil Tobin, necro-novelist.’

When we speak about magical inventions and animations, people marvel in various ways. I wanted to enclose the primary believes of dark arts we’ve already established around the world in this blog for short. Hope you’ve captured some understanding by reading it.

Black magic has historically referred to the use of supernatural powers or magic for malicious and selfish purposes. With regard to the left-hand path and the right-hand path dichotomy, black magic is the evil, left-hand equivalent to benevolent white magic. In modern times, some find that the concept of black magic has been confounded by people who describe magic or ritualistic practices that they disapprove of as black magic.

Brief History of Black Magic and its Growth

Where did Black Magic Originally Originated ?

During the Renaissance, many occult practices and rituals were considered evil or unreligious and, by extension, black magic in the broad sense. Witchcraft and non-mainstream esoteric studies have been banned and targeted by the Inquisition.As a result, natural magic has evolved as a way for thinkers and scholars, such as Marsilio Ficino, Abbot Johannes Trithemius and Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, to advance esoteric and ritualistic studies (though still mostly in secret) without serious persecution .[5]

Although “natural magic” became popular among the educated and upper classes of the 16th and 17th centuries, ritualistic magic and folk magic remained subject to persecution. Montague Summers, author of the 20th century, generally rejects the concepts of “white” and “black” magic as “contradictory” although he points out the degree to which magic in general, irrespective of purpose, was considered “black” and cites William Perkin’s posthumous instructions of 1608 in that regard.

In particular, however, the term was most generally used for those accused of invoking demons and other dark spirits, those who hexed or poisoned their neighbours, those who used sorcery to kill crops, and those who might leave their earthly bodies and fly long distances in spirit (to which Malleus Maleficarum “devotes one long and important chapter”), typically engaged in devil-worship. Summers also highlights the etymological growth of the word nigromancer, widely used from 1200 to about 1500, (Latin: Niger, black; Greek: Manteia, divination), generally ‘one skilled in the black arts.’

Black shamanism

Black shamanism is a type of shamanism practiced in Mongolia and Siberia. It is primarily opposed to yellow shamanism, which combines the rites and practices of Buddhism.
Black Shamans are typically viewed as interacting with evil spirits, whereas white Shamans with spirits of the higher world .
In the sixteenth century, following the conversion of Altan Khan, Buddhism reached Mongolia.

In 1691, after Outer Mongolia was annexed to the Qing Dynasty, Buddhism became the dominant religion of the whole region, and shamanism started to introduce Buddhist elements. In the eighteenth century, the armed rebellion of the hunting tribes of Northern Mongolia against the (Buddhist) ruling party, the Khalka Mongols, led to the establishment of black shamanism.

Satanism Brief Explanation

The influence of popular culture has given rise to other rituals under the broad umbrella of black magic, including the idea of Satanism. Although the summoning of ghosts or spirits is an acknowledged aspect of black magic, this ritual is distinct from the worship or deification of certain spirit entities. They are typically mixed in pagan theories of witchcraft.

Those distinctions, however, appear to be distorted by the incorporation of spiritual rites by otherwise white magicians in compilations of work related to Satanism. John Dee’s sixteenth-century rites, for example, have been used in Anton LaVey’s The Satanic Bible (1969) and some of his practices, otherwise called white magic, have since been associated with black magic. Dee’s own practices were planned to communicate ghosts in general and angels in particular, which he claimed to have been able to do with the help of his colleague Edward Kelley. The Bible of LaVey, however, is a “complete contradiction” of Dee’s motives, but it provides the same practices as a means of communication with evil spirits and demons. The Church of Satan of LaVey (with the Bible of LaVey at its center) “officially denies the efficacy of occult ritual” but “affirms the subjective, psychological value of ritual practice” and draws a strong distinction between them. LaVey itself was more specific:

White magic is supposedly utilized only for good or unselfish purposes, and black magic, we are told, is used only for selfish or “evil” reasons. Satanism draws no such dividing line. Magic is magic, be it used to help or hinder. The Satanist, being the magician, should have the ability to decide what is just, and then apply the powers of magic to attain his goals.

Satanism is not a white light religion; it is a religion of the flesh, the mundane, the carnal – all of which are ruled by Satan, the personification of the Left Hand Path.

Black magic and religion

There are numerous and varying connections and associations between black magic and religion. Beyond the connections of black magic to organized satanism or the ancient repression of Christianity and its inquisitions, there are links between religious and black magic practices. For example, the Black Mass is a sacrilegious imitation of the Catholic Mass. Likewise, healing, though mainly a practice of white magic, is a Wiccan rite similar to baptism or baptism for infants.

In Islam, the Quran includes Surahs which are recited to defend against black magic.

The priest of the seventeenth century, Étienne Guibourg, is said to have held a series of black mass rites with the supposed witch Catherine Monvoisin for Madame de Montespan.

When our world becomes more complex and interconnected, knowing various cultures becomes essential. Without a basic understanding of the views and experiences of individuals, professionals may inadvertently contribute to bias and discrimination or negatively impact professional relationships and efficacy of services. In order to recognize cultural interactions, the context of social identity, history and person and group experiences with prejudice and discrimination should be taken into consideration. it is also important to consider how an ongoing learning process strengthens our understanding of cultural differences.

Why Women have a Vital Role in the Society & What responsibilities do they have?

What is Equity v.s. Equality ?

Equality focuses on creating the same starting line for everyone. Equity has the goal of providing everyone with the full range of opportunities and benefits – the same finish line.

“It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.”
Audre Lorde

Men and women are not equal to each other. Since men and women should be competing for the same jobs, bargaining for the same wages and reaching the same standard of education we need to be fair, is a common misconception. Not true, since EQUALITY doesn’t always work out, we aren’t EQUALLY.

Yeah, women and men have equal opportunities and wealth, but equality drives even more those who are the farthest behind.

So Why Women have large role in community?

Role Of Women In Society

The obligation of a woman in society may often be a little vague as women’s roles are changed. Some may be up in their arms to say it is insulting or biased if we say it is their job to bare children, even if biologically we are the only sex who can actually bare children. If you suggest that a female now has to work and compete for her place in the working world in the center of her male peers, some people might feel that remaining in their homes is not ambitious enough. In the end, the responsibility of a woman in society is a difficult topic to be pinpointed entirely exactly because she plays so many different roles concurrently. That is why women need support, expertise, motivation and wisdom to effectively ‘juggle.’

What is the Solution or the Remedy to Solve this Major Problem ?

Women play a very important role in human development and play an important role in culture. They’re not smaller than men at all. They should share all life’s obligations. Man and woman were compared with the same carriage wheels correctly.

The success of the nation depends on the way the mothers raise their children. “Let me give good mothers and I give them a good Nation.” quoted by Napoleon emphasize the Vitality of the women’s role. The whole of society will move forward if mothers are prepared. In the growth of a country, women have always played an important role.

How Can Women Succeed in Today’s World? |

So Let’s Work all together without discriminating others and earn your Position in the society by showing your Skills!!

Women who are educated will do a great deal to change society. The anti-social people who have been brought up by false hands cause many disruptions in society. In modern times, women in all aspects of development go very well. They demonstrate their skills in the best way. They act as teachers, physicians, engineers, administrators and even heads of the states. In Pakistan, the literacy rate is extremely low among women. This ratio must be increased. More women’s education means the more social advancement.

“All good men and women must take responsibility to create legacies that will take the next generation to a level we could only imagine.”
Jim Rohn

According to this verse actually breakdown the entire discrimination problem in gender .WIthout arguing or disrespecting each gender let’s work together to the potential & serve the community to build a prosperous world.Have a better EARTH to our Young-lings.

Stress:A silent Killer but You Can Control:

What is Stress ?

Stress is a normal reaction that comes from our evolutionary past. The so-called “fight or flight” reaction served our ancestors well, but in our times it is triggered too often by emotions, simple problems, and situations that pose no threat. The grinding pace of modern life streams with repeated “stressors” that build up. Our body reacts to the stress as it distracts our minds and affects our health for the worse.We know when we’re “stressed-out,” because it’s a loud and simple message—we’re slowly killing ourselves.

A Silent Killer

Stress Vs Anxiety

What is Stress?

Where stress affects our bodies ?

A healthy heart is a big concern for everyone and stress can be the most dangerous here. It increases our blood pressure, placing an extra strain on the whole of our bodies’ circulatory system.
The risk of heart attack, stroke or blood clots is important to our heart, brain and blood systems. High blood pressure / hypertension is the ‘silent killer,’ but the strain may go unnoticed. However for people who fail to understand that hypertension / high blood pressure are a sign of medical assistance.

However, stress hits on every part of our bodies and the medical profession is of significant concern. For example, the development of stress hormones, mainly cortisol, could lead to physical harm throughout the body and should be regulated.

How Stress appear as a Wail

This is a critical situation!!!

How Stress Affects Our Health

How Stress Affects the Modern Society?

It may become troublesome to have anxiety, lack of motivation, anger issues, depression, and anti-social behavior. Drugs, alcohol and cigarettes are a bad way to deal with it and they contribute to tension more frequently. The downwards spiral ruins personal relationships and jobs, and physically manifests as illness as long-term stress progresses. High blood pressure, which contributes to heart disease over time, is the most common outcome.

In the analysis reported by the APA, three major factors are currently noted. The presidential election, healthcare, and mass shootings were among these.
By the way according to researches done by health sectors ,Seventy percent of respondents were worried about mass shootings, which raised their stress level. Nearly 70% were worried about healthcare and whether it will be open to them in the future. Young adults were not overwhelmingly concerned with their health issues.

So How We Can overwhelm This ?

The APA has proposed ways for each of us to do better to handle the stress caused by the confusion that is now in our lives. Simple stuff can add up to significant improvements in our wellness and perspective on life.

1)Dream of previous accomplishments.

In the past, you have undoubtedly overcome traumatic situations – and you have lived! Give credit to yourself. Think about the helpfulness you did during the incident and what you may want to do this time differently.

2)Create new capacities

If life is reasonably quiet, try things out of your comfort zone. Taking chances, from meeting a demanding boss to trying a new sport, allows you to build confidence and skills that are useful when life goes off course.

3)Be Thankful to Yourselves

“Some people are more unpredictable than others, so do not beat up if your unpredictability tolerance is less than a friend’s. Remember that the unpleasant situation will take time to be resolved and in the meantime, be careful with you.

4)Seek encouragement from others you have confidence in

.When they’re stressed or concerned, many people isolate themselves. But it is necessary for social support to reach families and friends.

Lets Enjoy a Stress Free Life

I personally write this article to make your aware about this critical circumstance.So I hope that from reading i assure you will be well concerned. Create a list of the suggestions and post them somewhere during the day. Read it regularly to remember what you should do and forget to stay out of sight of those things. Don’t allow yourself to be a stress victim.

Sociology: Can Sociology Belongs to A Branch of Science ?

What is Sociology ?

The core concept of sociology is that the associations within which individuals belong and the social interaction that takes place within those groups predominantly form human nature. The party, not the individual, is the paramount subject of sociology. The sociologist is particularly interested in people ‘s interaction-the ways in which people behave to react and affect each other. Its approach to processes (the approach to science) and its subject matter (human interaction) define sociology. As a scientific analysis of human interaction, it is correctly described.

Brief Intro of Science :

Science is systematic embodiment of knowledge. The foundation of science is reason and proof. A science is “a branch of knowledge or practice that systematically arranges and illustrates the application of general laws to deal with a body of facts or realities.” In their informal order, science integrates facts and ties them together to make rational inferences. Science takes a cognitive framework. By observation , experimentation, assumption etc., empirical expertise is gained. Science has the following qualities, such as objectivity, evaluation, precise estimation, experimentation, precise calculation, sweeping generalisation and interactions between cause and effect.

Sociology as a psychology: Science ?

There is a major debate about the particular essence of sociology. A concern as to whether or not sociology is science? Perhaps the minds of sociologists have long been puzzled. Maybe it was because of this that sociologists were split into two opposing classes. As a result, two contrasting views on the essence of sociology are visible. Sociology is a practice with one category of sociologists and the scientific methodology is adopted and applied by sociology. This opinion is supported by the founding fathers of Sociology, Auguste Comte, Emile Durkheim and others. Others have varying viewpoints and think that sociology is not a science.

Brief Explanation of Sciences

As other natural sciences, Auguste Comte claims that certain natural laws also regulate sociology. Sociology is, thus, a science. Others also argue that sociology is as much a science as politics , economics, psychology, etc.

So lets talk about the Proving and conflicting factors of Sociology vs Science

Agreeing Factors of Sociology is Science

(1) Scientific approaches are adopted by sociology:

By following the scientific approach, sociology studies social activities. While it is not possible to experiment with men in a laboratory, the social activity of man is nevertheless subject to empirical study as a natural phenomenon. Scientific approaches are used to quantitatively evaluate social processes as scales of the sociometry schedule, case analysis, interview and questionnaire.

(2) Sociology gives detailed observations:

In the field of sociology, observation is possible even if it does not have a laboratory. Outside the laboratory, accurate observation is also necessary. The laboratory of sociology is the whole social world. Inside a laboratory, Newton did not invent their laws. Sociology makes tribal marriage observational at the time of incidence. And if sociology does not have a laboratory, it also makes precise measurements. Sociology is, thus, a science. Besides experimental studies, science is not the only requirement.

Is Sociology A Science?| Arguments for Sociology is A Science

Conflict Factors of Sociology is Science

(1) Lack of experimentation:

Sociology is not a science, because research is not feasible. Sociology deals with interpersonal interactions that can not be checked in the laboratory. Human interactions can not be seen or measured since they are abstract in nature. We can’t experiment with things that are abstract.

(2) Inefficiency in terms of terminology:

In terms of terminological inefficiency, sociology fails. Sociology has not yet been able to establish a proper scientific collection of concepts. Many words used in sociology are ambiguous and have varying definitions for multiple people. The word caste and class, for instance, has not yet gained a clear definition. Sociology, however, is not scientific.

(3) Lack of precise measurement:

Like natural science, sociology can’t make exact calculations. There are definite weighing criteria, such as k.g. The metric by which objects can be calculated. But we don’t have any other measurement methods in sociology. In comparison to sociology , social interactions that are intangible in nature and can not be calculated are dealt with. Sociology, however, is not scientific.

Sociology is not a science, as the aforementioned statement indicates. But in his book “The Social Order,” the renowned sociologist Robert Bierstedt explicitly describes the essence of sociology in the following way:

So using these circumstances i conclude these points of my discussion

Sociology is a philosophy which is pure and not an applied science.
Sociology is an abstract science, not a science that is real.
Sociology is a philosophy that generalizes and not a science that particularizes.
Sociology is a rational science as well as an analytical one.

I’m interested in talk about this issue as a blogger to address the contradictions between social studies and science. Perhaps this will narrow the ambiguities between them.Thank You

Deforestation and forest degradation

Why we have to be serious in this Situation ?

Deforestation and forest degradation are the biggest threats to forests worldwide.
Over half of the tropical forests worldwide have been destroyed since the 1960s, and every second, more than one hectare of tropical forests is destroyed or drastically degraded.
The degradation and loss of forests threatens the survival of many species, and reduces the ability of forests to provide essential services.
Deforestation and forest degradation impact the lives of 1.6 billion people whose livelihoods depend on forests. One billion of them are among the world’s poorest.
Nature-based solutions such as forest landscape restoration (FLR) can reverse the effects of deforestation and degradation and regain the ecological, social, climatic and economic benefits of forests.

Trees being cut down for greedy purposes.Airborne view of the disaster

Why We have to be serious in this disastrous situation?

Vitality of this crisis to be concerned ?

Deforestation and forest degradation are the biggest threats to forests worldwide. Deforestation occurs when forests are converted to non-forest uses, such as agriculture and road construction. Forest degradation occurs when forest ecosystems lose their capacity to provide important goods and services to people and nature.

Buldozers clear the “Sagu Trees” to make way for palm oil plantations. Sagu palm trees are an important food source for some Papuan tribes who live in the forest. Oil palm plantations have resulted in numerous negative impacts on the environment, on indigenous peoples, on people’s livelihoods, on the national economy, and have resulted in the concentration of land in the hands of few companies Photography by Ardiles Rante for Greenpeace

Over half of the tropical fauna and flora worldwide is being ripped, torn apart since 1960s because of the revolution of machinery.As a result of that in every second, more than one hectare of tropical forests is been drastically degraded.

Why we have to protect the mothernature’s precious gift “forests” ?

Biodiversity
Over 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity can be found in forests – from pine trees in the boreal North to the rainforests in the tropics. The degradation and loss of forests threaten the survival of many species, and reduce the ability of forests to provide essential services such as clean air and water, healthy soils for agriculture, and climate regulation.

Sustainable livelihoods
Healthy forests support the livelihoods of 1.6 billion people globally, one billion of whom are among the world’s poorest. Deforestation and forest degradation have real and tangible impacts on the lives of these vulnerable communities. Also due to rapid population increasement 52% of land used for food production is constantly impacted by the erosion of healthy soil.

Climate mitigation and adaptation
The world’s forests absorb 2.4 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) per year, one-third of the annual CO₂ released from burning fossil fuels. Forest destruction emits further carbon into the atmosphere, with 4.3–5.5 GtCO₂eq/yr generated annually, largely from deforestation and forest degradation. Protecting and restoring this vast carbon sink is essential for mitigating climate change.

Forests are taking indispensable role in climate change adaption process and also act like a agent of food safety net during climate shocks, costal flooding. Improving health of forest ecosystems we have to intoduce sustainable management practices inorder to increase the awareness of humans.

Floral density distribution that maintain sustainable atmosphere for the living

So what we can do to restore the vanquish vegetation? How we can redeem our mistakes ?

Forest landscape restoration (FLR)
Nature-based solutions such as forest landscape restoration (FLR) can help countries reverse the effects of deforestation and degradation and regain the ecological, social, climatic and economic benefits of forests.

FLR brings people together to identify and implement the most appropriate restoration interventions in a landscape. It seeks to accommodate the needs of all land users and multiple land uses.

FLR is not just about planting trees – it can include multiple activities like agroforestry, erosion control and natural forest regeneration.

For this FLR concept has been commenced across the world because this steps have to be taken unless will be driven to our own bane.Countries and other land owners are committing to FLR through the Bonn Challenge – a global effort to restore 150 million hectares of degraded and deforested land by 2020 and 350 million hectares by 2030, launched by IUCN and Germany in 2011. The Bonn Challenge has so far generated pledges from governments and organisations to restore over 156 million hectares.

Humans need to be concerned about every living species as well as floral.If we are selfish and follow our greedy life style , mothernature will give us a payback with heavy consequences.

Coronavirus and Domestic Violence: What to Do If You’re Being Abused

The current Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a second global pandemic: an increase in domestic violence.

According to The New York Times, the domestic violence emergency number in Spain reported an 18 percent spike in calls during the first two weeks of the pandemic. China, Italy, and other countries have seen a similar increase, with France reporting a 30 percent surge in domestic violence reports.This is major crisis that we have to face parallely with this pandemic situation.

“It’s a perfect storm of stressors,” says Laura Schwab Reese, PhD, assistant professor in the department of public health at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. “There’s financial stress on many people, the uncertainty of what’s going to happen, normal social interactions are interrupted.”

This is what you need to know about domestic abuse in the age of Covid-19:

***Learn to recognize abuse during the pandemic***

Domestic abuse can take many forms including verbal insults, physical violence and, often, trying to isolate you from family, co-workers and friends.

As the National Domestic Violence Hotline points out, social distancing gives some abusers an opportunity to take even more control.

Ultimately it’s all about power and control and Covid-19 gives abusers another potential “tool” in their tool box. Before the pandemic, an abuser may have hidden a phone or a credit card, now they may threaten access to hand sanitizer, withhold insurance cards or access to medical care, or purposely deliver misinformation about the virus, says the Hotline.

Let’s face it, almost everyone is feeling more anxiety at this time. There’s a lot of psychological stress, uncertainty about jobs and financial stability, substance and alcohol abuse, in addition to the increase in social isolation, and an interruption in our normal daily interactions.

“It’s OK to be overwhelmed and scared right now,” says Schwab Reese. “That’s something people need to hear. Everyone is scared and panicked and if you’re in a violent relationship, it can be even scarier now when many are stuck at home.”
Many psychiatrists recommended to do medition ,engage with your hobbies to ease your pain.

In addition to having information on crisis resources, it’s also important to stay connected with your social network during the pandemic when you may not be able to go to work or do regular errands like shopping or picking up kids, says Schwab Reese.

Again, be aware that staying connected—even virtually—means you could leave crumbs of information for the abuser. “Be mindful about the ways you reach out,” says Schwab Reese. (Here are stories of people who survived and escaped domestic violence.)

The word self-care may be associated with bubble baths or yoga, says Schwab Reese, but it can be much more than that. Self-care during the era of quarantine and coronavirus could be as simple as stretching your body, “window shopping” for clothes online, or doing a self-massage, she points out.

Also We can make this time so valuable reading books,gathering knowledge from that, gardening, play music ,sing for yourselves likewise we can be productive for ourselves.

THE FUTURE OF FILM – TRENDS AND CHANGE TO WATCH IN NEAR FUTURE

New Movies Which are Developed In Latest Technology

Today, our online habits are transforming the way we consume video content, whether in blockbuster productions or the advertising industry.

Five long years ago, David Lynch lamented the future of filmmaking and voiced his concerns for the big screen, announcing:

“Television is way more interesting than cinema now. It seems like the art-house has gone to cable.”

Online streaming platforms such as Netflix are leading a transformation in film entertainment, while social channels like Instagram are fast evolving to offer more video content than ever.

1. The world loves localised content

Filmmaking Trends in Future.

Looking for something new to watch? You’re in luck. Over the next five years, it’s estimated Netflix and Amazon will spend an annual total of more than $20 billion on original content, while Apple and Facebook are also taking steps to invest in their own projects.

With this, we’re seeing a shift from national broadcasting traditions to extensive distribution across global networks – and our charming British accents are doing us a world of good. UK TV production companies generated record revenues of £2.7 billion in 2017, with much of this attributed to overseas sales of high-end dramas such as Victoria and Sherlock.

2. Audiences engage with emotional filmmaking trends

Filmmaking – whether it’s working to direct something wondrous through a lens or produce someone else’s masterpiece – is a truly emotional process.

As you’ll have likely seen during the latest season of Christmas adverts, creating emotive content is increasingly seen as one of the best (and most profitable) ways to endear brands to consumers. When it comes to the future of filmmaking for commercial purposes, expect to see brands team up with documentary makers to transform their storytelling potential.

Filmmaking trends are increasingly leaning towards engaging concepts – just consider Bandersnatch, the fascinating new interactive film by Netflix, which allows viewers to choose between multiple endings. Increasingly, viewers want to feel a part of the action.

As a result, many producers are looking into making more engaging and intimate video content, many going beyond the confines of professional film studios to do so. By working with a documentary maker rather than scripted advertising, its possible to get to the true heart of the matter – and to make content you actually want to watch.

3. The future of filmmaking goes virtual

Virtual reality (VR) is still very much an emerging filmmaking trend, but in 2019 it is expected to grow exponentially. According to Statista, the global economic impact of virtual and augmented reality is predicted to reach $29.5 billion by 2020.

Projected within the safe confines of a headset, these virtual environments offer limitless potential, and practically any industry can create content to connect with consumers. The technology can entertain, instruct and educate audiences in a whole new way.

British reputed film maker BAFTA-winning Martin Percy isn’t shy about using new kit, and has been especially proficient with VR filming, as seen in his campaigns which range in subject from safaris to fire safety. Thanks to the latest production technologies, Martin is able to make the imaginary a reality, all within a safe environment.

“With VR, we’re not trying to make a film which people are watching on a VR headset,” he explains. “We’re trying to give people a sense that they are, in some magical way, actually present in some fascinating or exciting location.”

This VR 360 virtual reality concept serves to safely immerse viewers in an otherwise life-threatening situation using visual and auditory cues, and to promote the security of ADT safety products.

Arrow: Stephen Amell Says Oliver’s Ending is What He Wanted for the Character

For the past seven seasons fans have watched Stephen Amell‘s Oliver Queen go on a journey that took him from a hood-wearing vigilante taking out those who failed Starling City to that of a full-blown hero who had not only succeeded at saving the city but who had emerged from the shadows to do so on Arrow. When the show returns this fall for its eighth and final season which contains only 10 episodes to be streamed, though, fans already know that the last chapter will see the end of the journey for Oliver. The Season 7 finale already revealed the hero dies in the end, but according to series star Amell, there are still some surprises that await — and Oliver’s ultimate ending is the one that he personally wants.

In an interview with TV Guide, Amell explained that Oliver’s ending on Arrow is what he wants, so much so that it’s something he himself pitched.

“It’s what I want,” Amell said. “I pitched it for a very long time. It’s what I want, but concurrently, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t surprises along the way. I was floored when I got the pitch for the crossover. I don’t see it coming — nobody sees it coming. It’s going to be so rad.”

The Season 7 finale Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) going into hiding after defeating the Ninth Circle. Quite a bit of time passed, and their daughter Mia was born, only for their new bit of domesticity to be shattered by the arrival of The Monitor (LaMonica Garrett).

As The Monitor explained, he was coming to collect on Oliver’s deal that he made during “Elseworlds”, where he bargained for the lives of Barry Allen and Kara Danvers. The Monitor revealed that in order to keep the universe at balance, Oliver would die in the coming “Crisis” — but that he needed to help try to help prevent more bloodshed in the event.

With “Crisis” being the biggest event for the Arrowverse yet, it positions Oliver to go out as a huge hero — and give Arrow the most consequences of the rest of the Arrowverse shows.

The 7 Worst Foods for Your Brain

Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.
— Oscar Wilde.

Your brain is arguably the most important organ in your body. Sure, there are several others that you can’t live without, but the brain controls them all. And not only does it keep your heart beating and your lungs breathing all the time, it is also the repository of everything that makes you, you. All your thoughts, feelings, and memories originate or reside in the brain.

Obviously, it is important to keep this most vital organ happy and healthy. Proper nutrition can mean the difference between a clear head with a sense of purpose and a foggy head with a sense of desperation. As a lifelong habit, healthy eating also slows the rate of aging-related cognitive decline and reduces the risk of developing dementia.

On the flip side, there are foods that are just the worst for your brain. Indulge too often and you will likely experience confusion, low mood, and slowed reaction times. In a vicious cycle, a depressed brain has poor ability to make the right decisions in order to improve.

If you know you have some bad habits, it is time to start scaling back. Your brain won’t like a massive dietary overhaul all at once, and even though you know it’s the right choice, you’ll struggle to maintain it. Instead, remove the following 7 items from your diet one by one, making a gradual shift that will protect the health of your brain for the long haul.

There are 7 food items that are categorized .

1) Trans Fat

2) Alcohol

3) Processed and Packaged Foods

4) Refined Carbs

5) Sugary Drinks

6) Fish High in Mercury

7) Aspartame
