Jio users very big day for you today..free offer may end

Jio users very big day for you today..free offer may end

New Delhi: Jio users have got used to free services now. For them what Reliance has done a boon. But for Jio rivals, the free offer has been a bane. Both, Airtel and Vodafone, are on record saying that they have incurred huge losses because of Jio’s free offer.
Terming Jio offer as predatory, rival telecom operators had approached TRAI to stop Jio offer. But, TRAI found no violation of norms in Jio offer, so the rivals approached TDSAT. The matter is now being heard at TDSAT, andtodayit may decide whether Jio will have to wind up its offer or not. Hence,todayis important for all all Jio users.

At the previous hearing, telecom regulator TRAI gave a clean chit to the Mukesh Ambani-run firm’s free voice calling and data plan on its mobile services, saying the scheme is not a violation of the regulatory guidelines on promotional offers.In a letter to incumbent operators Bharti Airtel and Idea Cellular, TRAI said Jio’s Happy New Year Offer has not been found to be violative of the principles of non-discrimination, inter-connect rule compliance and non-predation.
TRAI further said that its examination had revealed that the Happy New Year Offer launched by Reliance Jio on December 4, 2016 is distinct from its earlier Welcome Offer and cannot be treated as an extension of earlier promotional offer as the benefits under both sets of promotional offers differ.
The Happy New Year Offer, TRAI said, gives an opening and closing date within the prescribed limit of 90 days and the eligibility conditions. In the offer, there is a different data limit and provision for getting a higher speed after prescribed payment once the data limit is exhausted.
India’s largest mobile operator Bharti Airtel and its smaller rival Idea Cellular had moved telecom tribunal TDSAT against the regulator for allowing the Mukesh Ambani-led telecom venture to continue free promotional offer beyond the stipulated 90 days.
Following this, TRAI asked Attorney General for views on Jio’s free voice and data offering tillMarch 2017that rivals had termed "predatory".AG recently communicated to TRAI that Reliance Jio’s tariff plans do not violate any existing regulation or order issued by the regulator, and therefore it should not intervene in the matter.
Sources said during the hearing at TDSAT, TRAI counsel submitted that the regulator has already taken a decision on the issue, after which TDSAT directed TRAI to file its decision. The next date of hearing was then fixed on February 6.

Bathing Everyday Is Not Healthy, Says A Research

Bathing Everyday Is Not Healthy, Says A Research

A new research has said that daily bathing is harmful to your health as over-cleaning can damage the human microbiome – a collection of bacteria, viruses and other microbes that live in on your body as a result of the damage, your immune system, digestions and even your heart could suffer.
According to the Genetic Science Centre at the University of Utah, bathing or showering too often actually do more harm than good.
No need to feel bad, if you skip bathing
Most of us start our morning off with a bath or shower as not washing for a few days leave us feeling grimy and a bit smelly too but new research says there’s no need to feel bad if you skip it altogether. These are essential to our health and the university suggests that “disrupting our microbial ecostystems can cause disease.”
Westernisation affects the human microbiome diversity
The researchers conducted a study in the Yanomami village of Amazon and found that people living here had a far richer microbes community in their skin and “the highest diversity of bacteria and genetic functions ever reported in a human group.” They bacteria found carried antibiotic resistance, despite having no known contact with antibiotics. The research concluded that westernisation i.e. shampoo-scrubbed lifestyles significantly affects the human microbiome diversity. However, the study did not tell as how often we should actually be showering.
Some people have already given-up showering
There are some people, who have already given up showring. James Hamblin, senior editor of The Atlantic said “At first, I was an oily, smelly beast but it wasn’t long before his body started to adjust. After a while... your ecosystem reaches a steady state, and you stop smelling bad. I mean, you don't smell like rosewater or Axe Body Spray, but you don't smell like B.O., either. You just smell like a person.”

NATIONAL CHILD HEALTH DAY

Each child deserves to be the healthiest he or she can be.  On National Child Health Day, we are reminded of all the ways children grow healthy and strong.  From the food they eat to the words they hear, children require support and opportunities to grow.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Go for a walk, play in a park, do some yard work or participate in activities to promote child health.  Use #ChildHealthDay to post on social media.
HISTORY
Each year since 1928, under a joint Resolution of Congress, the President of the United States has proclaimedChild Health Day.  This day was originally observed on each May 1 until 1960 when the date was changed to the first Monday in October of each calendar year.
In a response to a plea from both the American Federation of Labor and the General Federation of Women’s Clubs to proclaim the day, United States President Calvin Coolidge was the first president to issue a Child Health Day Proclamation while the resolution was still pending in Congress.
There are over 1,200 national days. Don’t miss a single one. Celebrate Every Day with National Day Calendar!

Parents’ maths skills ‘rub off’ on their children Too

Parents’ maths skills ‘rub off’ on their children, say scientists

The study specifically explored inter-generational transmission -- the concept of parental influence on an offspring’s behaviour or psychology -- in mathematic capabilities.(Instagram)

Bad at maths? Your parents are to be blamed. Parents who excel at mathematics produce children who would also excel, says a study, which shows a distinct transfer of math skills from parent to child.

The study specifically explored inter-generational transmission -- the concept of parental influence on an offspring’s behaviour or psychology -- in mathematic capabilities.

“Our findings suggest an intuitive sense for numbers has been passed down knowingly or unknowingly from parent to child. Meaning, the math skills of parents tend to ‘rub off’ on their children,” said lead researcher Melissa E. Libertus, Assistant Professor at University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, US.

The study revealed that the performance levels for early school-aged children on standardised mathematic tests could be reliably predicted by their parent’s performance in similar examinations.

Specifically, major correlations in parent-child performance in such key areas as mathematical computations, number-fact recall, and word problem analysis were observed.

In addition, the children’s intuitive sense of numbers - that is, the ability to know that 20 jelly beans are more than 10 jelly beans without first counting them - is predicted by their parents’ intuitive sense of numbers, the researchers said.

“We believe the relationship between a parent and a child’s math capabilities could be some combination of hereditary and environmental transmission,” Libertus added.

The findings represent the first evidence of intergenerational transmission of unlearned, nonverbal numerical competence from parents to children.

The study is an important step toward understanding the multifaceted parental influences on children’s mathematic abilities.

“This research could have significant ramifications for how parents are advised to talk about math and numbers with their children and how teachers go about teaching children in classrooms,” Libertus noted, in the paper published in the journal Developmental Science.

For the study, the math abilities of 54 children between the ages of five and eight as well as 51 parents - 46 mothers and five fathers - between the ages of 30 and 59 were assessed.

Children completed three subtests designed to gauge their capabilities in mathematical computations, basic number-fact recall, and word problems with visual aids.

Parents completed a math fluency subtest as a measure of mathematical ability, and they were surveyed on the importance of children developing certain math skills.

4-year-old UP child prodigy studying in Class IX

4-year-old UP child prodigy studying in Class IX

Lucknow: Her sister Sushma is 15 and is doing her doctorate in microbiology after completing masters in the same subject.

Her brother Shailendra had passed high school examination at the age of nine and now Ananya, at the age of four, has been admitted straightaway into class nine — and this even before she has started formal schooling.

Ananya, who completes the family trinity, is the youngest starter in this family of child prodigies.

Their father, Tej Bahadur Varma, now a supervisor in the Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, had taken Ananya to the market when he met a teacher from the St Mira’s College where his two other children had studied.

While the teacher got talking to the father, Ananya picked up one of her books and started reading it. The teacher was astounded and called Tej Bahadur and Ananya to the school. Ananya was asked to take a test and she was found fit for admission to class nine.

The school manager Vinod Ratra said, “Ananya is even more talented than her siblings. We have sought permission for her admission to class 9 from the district inspector of schools and have cited the cases of her siblings. We are confident of getting the permission and we will also ensure that Ananya gets free education in our institution”.

Incidentally, Sushma was five years old when she was admitted to class nine in the same school.

Tej Bahadur says that his children have never taken tuitions or any special facilities simply because he could never afford them. “Ananya has been a quick learner. She would just pick up any book and start reading even. She even started reading the Ramayana and now remembers most of it by heart. She is a quiet child and never makes demands,” says her mother Chhaya.

About his all three children being prodigies, Taj Bahadur says, “It is all God’s gift. My children wanted to study and I could not afford them good education so probably god gave them exceptional talent. My children have even built a future for their father because it was their fame that got me this job”.

Ananya, however, is undecided about what she wants to become when she grows up.

She smiles and evades questions but her mother says, “We are not going to pressurise her at all. She can choose what she wants to do and we will do our best for her”.

Man dies watching Conjuring 2 in Tamil Nadu

Man dies watching Conjuring 2 in Tamil Nadu

In a freak incident, a man watching a horror movie died in the cinema hall in Thiruvannmalai on Thursday. The deceased, who has not been identified by the police so far, was believed to be of about 60-years-old. 

According to The Hindu, the man was from Andhra Pradesh and was staying at an ashram in Thiruvannmalai. 

He was watching the horror movie 'Conjuring-2' at Balasubramaniyar theatre, when he complained of chest pain. 

Though 108-ambulance was called for immediately, the man breathed his last before the ambulance arrived. The report say that someone who had accompanied him took the body to the place where he was staying. The police is awaiting further details about the deceased

9-Year-Old Anvitha Vijay Is the Youngest Developer at Apple's WWDC 2016

New York: A nine-year-old Indian-origin girl has earned the distinction of being the youngest app developer at Apple's annual developer conference with her apps for children and she now dreams of meeting the tech giant's CEO Tim Cook.

Anvitha Vijay from Australia is the youngest attendee at WWDC 2016 in San Francisco and has already built several apps for iPhone and iPad, a report in Fortune said.

Vijay spent a year watching free coding tutorials on YouTube and the web, and learned how to program. "Coding was so challenging. But I'm so glad I stuck with it," she said.

Vijay, who has been developing apps about empowering children, hopes to meet Cook during the conference. "It's my dream to go to WWDC and meet Tim Cok," she said.

Vijay is attending WWDC as part of Apples scholarship program, which gives hundreds of free tickets to developers from around the world who are creating apps for Apple devices.

Out of 350 recipients this year, 120 are students under the age of 18, Fortune said, adding that the number of women who applied for the scholarship tripled this year, and this year, 22 per cent of scholarship winners are women, which is an increase from last year.

The report said Vijay's apps were inspired by her toddler sister, who was learning how to talk and identify animals. Her brainchild was the Smartkins Animals app, which uses sounds, and flashcards to help teach children 100 different animals' names and sounds.

She then developed another similar interactive iOS app for children to help them learn colors and is now already working on her next app, which wants to help kids her won age with setting goals.

"Turning an idea for an app involves a lot of hard work," Vijay said. "There are so many components to building an app, including prototyping, design and wirreframing, user interface design and then coding and testing."

With WWDC, like most tech conferences, overwhelmingly dominated by white and Asian males, the company has been making efforts to diversify the attendance at the annual event.

Scott Lilly, who is vice president of programs at the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, said that Apple approached his organisation to offer scholarships to WWDC last year. "I think they are making sure that diversity is represented," Lilly said.

Under that programme this year, Lilly is sending two female African American college students and three African American men to WWDC

Short exposure to blue light helps in faster decision making

Blue light — present in electronic screens — can be used in occupational settings where alertness and quick decision making are important.

Spending half an hour in blue light may help you make difficult decisions faster up to 40 minutes after the exposure has ended, a new study suggests.

Researchers from University of Arizona in the US found that exposure to blue wavelength light led to subsequent increases in brain activity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) when participants were engaging in a cognitive task after cessation of light exposure.

The results also showed that a short single exposure to blue light for half an hour is sufficient to produce measurable changes in reaction times and more efficient responses (answering more items correctly per second) during conditions of greater cognitive load after the light exposure had ended.

Moreover, these improvements were directly associated with measurable changes in the activation of the prefrontal cortex.

“Previous studies only focused on the effects of light during the period of exposure. Our study adds to this research by showing that these beneficial effects of blue wavelength light may outlast the exposure period by over 40 minutes,” said Anna Alkozei from University of Arizona. “Importantly, our findings suggest that using blue light before having to engage in important cognitive processes may still impact cognitive functioning for over half an hour after the exposure period ended,” she added.

“Blue-enriched white light could be used in a variety of occupational settings where alertness and quick decision making are important — such as pilot cockpits, operation rooms or military settings. It could also be used in settings where natural sunlight does not exist — such as the International Space Station,” said Alkozei.  According to Alkozei, this may be valuable in a wide range of situations where acute blue light exposure is not a feasible option, such as testing situations.

The study consisted of 35 healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 32 years. Participants were randomised to receive a 30-minute exposure to either blue (active) or amber (placebo) light, immediately followed by a working memory task during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

“These findings are important as they link the acute behavioural effects of blue light to enhanced activation of key cortical systems involved in cognition and mental control,” said William DS Killgore from University of Arizona.

The findings were published in the journal Sleep

Sanitary pads were originally invented for men. Intresting story

Did You Know Sanitary Pads Were Originally Invented For Men? Here’s The Interesting Story

Sanitary pads have long been something most men ignorantly shrink away from even talking about. But turns out this feminine product actually has a fascinating history that's closely linked with men in all their glorious macho manliness.

A post on My Period Blogrevealed that the first disposable sanitary pads were developed by nurses during the war in France. They were looking for a way to control the excessive bleeding among soldiers wounded on the battlefield.

 

Before this, women either did not use any menstrual devices or used reusable sanitary pads.

It was only later when the pads developed during the war started being used by American nurses in France that they came to be known as menstrual pads.

Subsequently in 1888, Kotex manufactured and commercially advertised 'Sanitary Towels for Ladies' based on the same model of WWI bandages only.

The basic structure of these pads involved cotton wool or a similar fibrous rectangle covered with an absorbent liner.

However, even after disposable pads were commercially available, for several years they were too expensive for many women to afford on a regular basis. It took several years for the item to become commonplace.

From there began the largely profitable industry of feminine hygiene with a variety of menstrual pads and tampons.

And the rest as they say, is history.
