Indian Mars-Craft, Mangalyan
Also known as Mangalyaan, or Mars-Craft, this program by our very own space research organisation has been lauded as one of the most low cost but high functioning space missions till date. We can now proudly claim to be the only nation to reach Mars orbit on its first attempt. The brain behind the operation is actually credited to 14 scientists at ISRO (Mr.K.Radhakrishnan and his team, In charge of the Mars Orbiter Mission)

Q&A-11: Why does moon have no atmosphere?
Why does moon have no atmosphere?
Prasanna Aug '16
CBSE Class 11 Physics
Moon has no atmosphere because the value of acceleration due to gravity ‘g’ on surface of moon is small. Therefore, the value of escape velocity on the surface of the moon is small (only 2-5 km ${{s}^{-1}}$). The molecules of the atmospheric gases on the surface of the moon have thermal velocities greater than the escape velocity. That is why all the molecules of gases have escaped and there is no atmosphere on moon.

Facts and Figures-99: Unemployment in India
From Google:
Unemployment Rate in India increased to 3.52 percent in 2017 from 3.51 percent in 2016.Unemployment Rate in India averaged 4.11 percent from 1983 until 2017, reaching an all time high of 8.30 percent in 1983 and a record low of 3.41 percent in 2014.
From The Times of India:
The number of job-seeking people in India has always been on a high. As per information available on the official website of the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE), there are currently nearly 31 million unemployed Indians looking for jobs. CMIE is a board that tracks business and economic data of the country.
It was noted that in the week ended on February 25, the unemployment rate increased to 6.1 per cent as compared to 5 per cent in January. This 6.1 per cent unemployment rate is noted to be the highest monthly rate in the past 15 months
The numbers went as low as 3.4 per cent in July 2017, unemployment rates have been increasing gradually, the CMIE data further confirmed.
While the government claims that the unemployment rate in the country is falling, this data reveals an altogether different story.
Ironically, the unemployment rates was observed to have decreased after demonetisation in November 2016, as jobseekers focused on acquiring new skills instead of waiting for jobs in a hard-hitting economy.
During that period, the labour participation rate ranged between 46 and 48 per cent before demonetisation. By July 2017, it fell to below 43 per cent. Now the CMIE expects it to go past 44 per cent by the end of February 2018.
This brings us to the conclusion that as a new batch of students is set to graduate in May 2018, India will face a yet another jolt of unemployment. While there are about 31 million unemployed youth in India as of February, the number of job creation in 2018 is limited to an estimated 6,00,000.

Eyecatchers-203: Are you diabetic?
Eyecatchers: Are you diabetic?
Before 1997, the fasting sugar limit for Diabetes was 140.
WHO set up a panel to decrease it and it was fixed at 126.
All of a sudden 14% of world population became diabetics overnight.
Later in 2003, American Diabetic Association again decreased the limit to 100.
And after this 60% of Indian population became diabetic.
And you know who are the members of these panels deciding the fasting sugar limit? They are the consultants of seven big pharmaceutical companies of the world.
So, in short, it is the Pharma Industry that decides if you are diabetic or not.

Self-Improvement-173: The cockroach theory for self development
The cockroach theory for self development
At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady.
She started screaming out of fear.
With a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach.
Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky.
The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but ...it landed on another lady in the group.
Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama.
The waiter rushed forward to their rescue.
In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter.
The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt.
When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant.
Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroach responsible for their histrionic behavior?
If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed?
He handled it near to perfection, without any chaos.
It is not the cockroach, but the inability of those people to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach, that disturbed the ladies.
I realized that, it is not the shouting of my father or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but it's my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me.
It's not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs me.
More than the problem, it's my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.
Lessons learnt from the story:
I understood, I should not react in life.
I should always respond.
The women reacted, whereas the waiter responded.
Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are always well thought of.
A beautiful way to understand............LIFE.
Person who is HAPPY is not because Everything is RIGHT in his Life..
He is HAPPY because his Attitude towards Everything in his Life is Right..!!!

Search for: Which brain waves are

What type of brain waves occur when
you are awake?
During periods of relaxation, while
still awake, our brain waves become slower, increase in amplitude and become
more synchronous. These types of waves are called alpha waves. For example,
such brain waves are often associated with states of relaxation and
peacefulness during meditation and biofeedback.
