Plastic: The Real Problem

In the present era, plastic has become a major material for the production

of textiles, machine parts, electronics, and other daily accessories. Almost

every manufactured article we see around us is made up of this petroleum-

based material. It has led us to its dependency to such an extent that

without it, modernization is fruitless. Although plastics pose no problem

in their usage, the real problem starts from its disposal. Usually, the

plastic waste generated is thrown away carelessly and without much

thought. We forget that this waste encroaches almost every square inch of
land and water on this Earth and disrupts the balance of Earth’s fragile

environment. The second problem lies in its dependency. We know that

petroleum occurs deep inside the Earth in very limited quantities. With

the pace we are consuming it, it will last a little more than a hundred

years. Till then, our dependency on plastics will increase and

when its supply starts diminishing, the entire foundation

of our civilization will fall into pieces. The best, therefore,

lies in the proper consumption, usage, and disposal Arnav Mishra

of plastics. Class: VIII-A

Parasite ………... Live on life !!

Parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or
at the expense of its host.

There are three main classes of parasites that can cause disease in humans are as
enumerate:

Protozoa
Helminths
Ectoparasites.

Parasitic infections cause a tremendous burden of disease in both the tropics and
subtropics as well as in more temperate climates.
Of all parasitic diseases, malaria causes the most deaths globally, Malaria kills
more than 400,000 people each year, most of them young children in sub-Saharan
(Africa).

The Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), which have suffered from a lack of
attention by the public health community, include parasitic diseases such as
lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, and Guinea worm disease.

The NTDs affect more than 1 billion people worldwide, largely in rural areas of
low-income countries. These diseases extract a large toll on endemic populations,
including lost ability to attend school or work, stunting of growth
in children, impairment of cognitive skills and development in
young children, and the serious economic burden placed on entire
countries.

However, parasitic infections also affect persons living in Agranaya Misra
developed countries, including the United States

Blockchain Technology

Blockchain is a method of recording information that makes it impossible

or difficult for the system to be changed, hacked, or manipulated. A

blockchain is a distributed ledger that duplicates and distributes

transactions across the network of computers participating in the

blockchain. Blockchain technology is a structure that stores transactional

records, also known as the block, of the public in several databases,

known as the “chain,” in a network connected through peer-to-peer nodes.
Typically, this storage is referred to as a ‘digital ledger. ’Every transaction

in this ledger is authorized by the digital signature of the owner, which

authenticates the transaction and safeguards it from tampering. Hence, the

information the digital ledger contains is highly secure. In simpler words,

the digital ledger is like a Google spreadsheet shared among numerous

computers in a network, in which, the transactional records are stored

based on actual purchases. The fascinating angle is that anybody can see

the data, but they can’t corrupt it. How Does a Blockchain Work? The

goal of blockchain is to allow digital information to be recorded

and distributed, but not edited. In this way, a blockchain is

the foundation for immutable ledgers, or records of

transactions that cannot be altered, deleted, or destroyed.

This is Why blockchains are also known as a Navyanshi Bhatnagar
distributed ledger technology (DLT). Class: IX-A

Web browser in Energy & Memory Saver Mode

Google Rolls Out Energy and Memory Saver Modes for Chrome Browser
The Chrome browser is a notorious memory and battery hog, but Google
is adding two new performance settings intended to stop the software
from consuming too many PC resources. The company today introduced
memory and energy saving modes for Chrome, which are rolling out now
via the “m 108” release.

According to Google, the memory saving mode can reduce the browser's

memory use by as much as 30%. It promises to be particularly useful

when you have numerous tabs open in a browser window, which can
stress a computer's RAM. “Memory Saver mode frees up memory from
tabs you aren’t currently using so the active websites you’re browsing
have the smoothest possible experience,” the company wrote (Opens in a
new window) in a blog post. “Any inactive tabs will be reloaded when
you need them.”

Meanwhile, energy saving mode can be activated when your laptop’s

battery level reaches 20%. It will then proceed to cut down on background

processes for Chrome and limit visual effects from websites, such as

animations and videos. Both performance modes can be turned

on (Opens in a new window) by visiting the three-dot menu

in the top-right corner of the browser selecting Settings.

You’ll then find a new section labeled "Performance,"

where the modes can be activated. “When these tools roll

out to you, you'll be able to turn off either feature or mark Ankush Kumar
your most important websites exempt from Memory
Saver,” the company added. Please Class: X-A

Are starfish really fish?

I have seen starfish specimen in biology lab of our school in science club
period, this generate curiosity in me to know more about star fish.
These animals have an endoskeleton of calcareous ossicle and hence, the
name Echinodermata (spiny bodied. All are marine with organ-system
level of organisation the adult echinoderms are radially symmetrical but
larva are bilaterally symmetrical. They are triploblastic and coelomate
animals. Digestive system is complete with mouth on the lower (ventral)
side and anus on the upper(dorsal) side. The most distinctive feature of
echinoderms is the presence of water vascular system which helps in
locomotion capture and transport of food and respiration. An excretory
system is absent. Sexes are seperated reproduction is sexual. Fertilisations
is usually external. Development is indirect with free-swimming larva.

For ex: Asterias (star fish), Echinus (sea urchin), Antendon (sea lily),
Cucumaria (sea cucumber) and ophiura.( Brittle star).
And also I want to express some facts about starfish

1. Did you know that starfish have no brain or blood.
2. The starfish cannot survive in fresh water.
3. Star fish can't have only 4 Arms they can have up

to 40 Arms.

The Twin Paradox

In the theory of relativity each observer has his own measure of
time. This can lead to so called twins Paradox.
One of a pair of twins 'Alpha' leaves on a space journey during
which he travels close to the speed of light (c), while his brother
'Beta' remains on Earth. Because of Alpha's motion, time runs
more slowly in the spacecraft as seen by the earth bound twin. So
on his return the space traveller will find that his brother Beta has
aged more than himself.
Although it seems against common sense, a number of experiments
have implied that in this scenario the travelling twin would indeed
be younger.
