Covid 19 is something that has shattered the whole world. No body was prepared for it. Corona virus or covid 19 has affected different sectors very badly. When it comes to India’s growth it has gone down to 3.1% according to the ministry of Statistics. According to the World bank along with the rating agencies India’s growth has touched its lowest figures and is in worst state since last three decades.CRISIL has already announced that India is perhaps going to see the worst recession in the coming days since it has got its Independence.
Unemployment is becoming a very big issue in India.Within a month of lockdown the unemployment rates rose from 6.7% to 26% and 14 crore people approximately lost their jobs. The business sector got affected very badly. The supply chains were kept on hold and at first there was a big confusion regarding what is ‘essential’ and what is ‘non essential’. Due to the restrictions made by the government this sector has witnessed a lot of loss as well. In the agricultural field the farmers suffered from fear and anxiety. They were not able to bring their produce for sale to the market. They couldn’t cut their crops as well. Their future became absolutely uncertain. Daily wage workers and private sectors were at high risk of facing loss and have to take special measures like work from home etc. Major companies in India such as Larsen & Toubro, Bharat Forge, UltraTech Cement, Grasim Industries, Aditya Birla Group,BHEL and Tata Motors had to slow down their operations for some days. Due to uncertainty and lack of demand, the stock markets also collapsed. Many companies unwillingly had to cut down the salaries of the employees and many employees were asked to leave. The live event companies had also said that they have suffered a loss of more than 3000 crorers.
The small businesses and small scale industrues suffered a lot.. The airlines,markets hotels, big shopping malls were completely closed and people have witnessed unemployment in these sectirs as well.
The Central and State government, both has taken various steps to cover up the loss. Various measures were taken and many scemes were declared sarting from food security and funds for healthcare for different states. Income tax return dates were extended and Electricity and telephone bill submission dates were also extended. On 26 th may some relief measures were declared for the poor and the most suffering sections of the society. On 12 May the Prime Minister of India announced an overall economic package of ₹20 lakh crore (US$280 billion),10% of India’s GDP, with emphasis on India as a self-reliant nation. (Atmanirbhar). Indian government also announced relief measures in the areas of GST ,Customs & Central Excise, Corporate Affairs, Insolvency &Bankruptcy Code (IBC) Fisheries, Banking Sector and Commerce. About 800 million people are going to get free cereals and cooking gas along with cash through direct transfers for three months.The Prime Minister of India has already told and thought of setting up an Economic Task Force to devise policy measures to tackle the economic challenges .
In conclusion I would like to say that covid 19 has affected the world very bady and though the situation is bad still our governments, both Central and State are working on how to recover from this economic crisis that has arised globally.So this is the time for each one of us to join hands and fight this virus and try to contribute as much as we can. We must believe that we are not alone in this and we shall be able to ovecome this situation very soon. Lets take the pledge to listen to what our governments are saying and try to contribute and maintain the lockdown.

During the time of this pandemic, when social distancing is a necessity Apple has won a patent that would allow different users to take their selfies and combine them with the other selfies of their friends without being at the same place at a time.

This method allows users to rearrange themselves in a single frame of the selfie.

If you are a selfie lover then this news could excite you. This patent discusses a method to allows different users to combine the selfies with that of their friends’ selfies in a single frame.

Social distancing has become a part of our daily lives due to COVID-19. As per the norms of social distancing at least 6 feet distance should be maintained between two persons. We can’t go out during this period with our friends and family for fun. So, we can’t take a group selfie.

But Apple has a solution to this problem of not taking a group selfie. Two years ago a patent has been filed by this Tech giant to ease the process of group selfie.

What is a synthetic group selfie?

A Synthetic selfie is a combination of different users’ selfies taken from different sources, at different places merged in a single frame, by maintaining social distancing.

Still, it is not clear that this feature will be available on iPhone, iPad or both.

participants of this selfie need not be at different places necessarily. Selfies taken at the same place or nearby places can also be combined with this method.

Not only in this situation, but also in general this patent is very useful.

Friends and family members who are at a long distance can take the advantage of this feature.

 By this method- while taking selfies an option of group selfie will appear on the screen of the person who takes a selfie. The user selects that option to take his/her selfie. Then invites the other users to take their selfies or select from the existing one. 

Each person will take a selfie on their phone and send it to one phone on which the selfies will assemble into a group selfie. 

The software then combines the different selfies by adjusting the background to look like it is taken at the same place. The phone will use an AirDrop feature to send photos to the main device.

 The pictures included in the individual selfies can be ” still images, stored videos, or live streaming images.”

The different participants in the group can also adjust their positions, like if someone wants to be at the front or back of the selfie then they can modify once the selfie has been taken and compiled.

This patent is not filed in the response of following the social distancing norms. But this has been filed in July 2018. 

Apple just has been awarded the patent only its implementation is yet to be done. Like other technology companies, Apple also files for many patents but not every patent changes into the software.

Country development is also based on the self-mastery of the people in the country. To create a restraint among the people, the laws and orders are used as a tool. Law and Ordes rise the self-control and also create accountability among the people. The rating of administration of the country is based on the discipline of the people.

Laws are considered as one of the pillars of the country. The law led us in the right way. It defends us from evil and also encourages people to do the right thing. Laws are act as guidelines for the people. It protects people from violent, cheating, and evil actions. The law would give justice for the needed people and also gave a considerable punishment or penalty to the evil-doing people. It would control and regulate the people by specially appointed people like police. As a citizen of the country, we must follow the law and orders of the country.

Some of the common Acts like Rights to educate are the best acts that make everyone literate. From this Act, education became common to all. Many countries like India gives a free education by this Act. We can conclude that the laws were for the welfare of the people. Laws do not only act as a guideline for us and also helps to stand against evil.

A wall with only colours is not a wall until some final touches are not given to it either it is done with painting skills or it’s done with some and fittings. In modern era people are used to get in touch with luxurious things so that they can satisfy themselves with what they built with their money and so does I will help you do so. It will helps you make your house look more attractive with the help of this fantastic furniture work. A wall with only hanging led TV does not look good until some of decorative touch is given to it. If we add some lights with that then it attracts not only the watcher but also make it looks eye catching for everyone. Sometimes wires disgrace the goodness of the walls but with the wood fitting its will seems like the wire were not even there and make it look fabulous. To get rid of dullness of the wall some usually do paintings on the walls and some choose to do wood work. For that some good quality of wood is used like the oak wood, teak wood or walnut wood. The interior design is only done on some major points that is space, light, colour, texture etc which are kept in mind while doing that. The wall colour must be in contrast with the wood colour because if it isn’t in that contrast then it will not look good. No extra spacing must be there while fitting because some time these cause the dust and dirt to enter into that space that will decrease its life span. This new design will fit every type of wall because of its ground clearance from the surface that will let the person to clean it every day and if some wants to have the perception of compartments then it can also be done in it. The wood used here is termite proof and easily cleanable with only by using a dry cloth. The availability of open compartments are also their so that if someone wants to keep DVDs or either wants to keep pots or picture frames which can also fulfil the empty space around the TV and make it look awesome. The big rectangle pillars are also given with it which act as giving it a 3D texture and also if some wants to add any paintings rather than left it blank then that can also be done which also looks good on it. The lower ground compartments are also there so as to keep things on their places rather than placing it here and there. The surface of the wood is waterproof so that to protect it from accidental fall of any liquid substance on it and it remains shiny as bought on the first day. Every part of it is fitted into the wall therefore there is less chance of danger if anyone pulled it harshly due to which it is a safe product. These are some of the feature of this interior art that will make it look more fashionable than it actually was.

In a culture obsessed with measuring talent and ability, we often overlook the important role of inspiration. Inspiration awakens us to new possibilities by allowing us to transcend our ordinary experiences and limitations. Inspiration propels a person from apathy to possibility, and transforms the way we perceive our own capabilities. Inspiration may sometimes be overlooked because of its elusive nature. Its history of being treated as supernatural or divine hasn’t helped the situation. But as recent research shows, inspiration can be activated, captured, and manipulated, and it has a major effect on important life outcomes.

Inspiration has three main qualities. Pyschologists Todd M. Thrash and Andrew J. Elliot have noted these core aspects of inspiration: evocation, transcendence, and approach motivation. First, inspiration is evoked spontaneously without intention. Inspiration is also transcendent of our more animalistic and self-serving concerns and limitations. Such transcendence often involves a moment of clarity and awareness of new possibilities. As Thrash and Elliot note, “The heights of human motivation spring from the beauty and goodness that precede us and awaken us to better possibilities.” This moment of clarity is often vivid, and can take the form of a grand vision, or a “seeing” of something one has not seen before (but that was probably always there). Finally, inspiration involves approach motivation, in which the individual strives to transmit, express, or actualize a new idea or vision. According to Thrash and Elliot, inspiration involves both being inspired by something and acting on that inspiration.

Inspired people share certain characteristics. Thrash and Elliot developed the “Inspiration Scale,” which measures the frequency with which a person experiences inspiration in their daily lives. They found that inspired people were more open to new experiences, and reported more absorption in their tasks. “Openness to Experience” often came before inspiration, suggesting that those who are more open to inspiration are more likely to experience it. Additionally, inspired individuals weren’t more conscientious, supporting the view that inspiration is something that happens to you and is not willed. Inspired individuals also reported having a stronger drive to master their work, but were less competitive, which makes sense if you think of competition as a non-transcendent desire to outperform competitors. Inspired people were more intrinsically motivated and less extrinsically motivated, variables that also strongly impact work performance. Inspiration was least related to variables that involve agency or the enhancement of resources, again demonstrating the transcendent nature of inspiration. Therefore, what makes an object inspiring is its perceived subjective intrinsic value, and not how much it’s objectively worth or how attainable it is. Inspired people also reported higher levels of important psychological resources, including belief in their own abilities, self-esteem, and optimism. Mastery of work, absorption, creativity, perceived competence, self-esteem, and optimism were all consequences of inspiration, suggesting that inspiration facilitates these important psychological resources. Interestingly, work mastery also came before inspiration, suggesting that inspiration is not purely passive, but does favor the prepared mind.

Inspiration is not the same as positive affect. Compared to the normal experiences of everyday life, inspiration involves elevated levels of positive affect and task involvement, and lower levels of negative affect. Inspiration is not the same state as positive affect, however. Compared to being in an enthusiastic and excited state, people who enter an inspired state (by thinking of a prior moment they were inspired) reported greater levels of spirituality and meaning, and lower levels of volitional control, controllability, and self-responsibility for their inspiration. Whereas positive affect is activated when someone is making progress toward their immediate, conscious goals, inspiration is more related to an awakening to something new, better, or more important: transcendence of one’s previous concerns.

Inspiration is the springboard for creativity. Inspired people view themselves as more creative and show actual increases in self-ratings of creativity over time. Patent-holding inventors report being inspired more frequently and intensely than non-patent holders, and the higher the frequency of inspiration, the higher the number of patents held. Being in a state of inspiration also predicts the creativity of writing samples across scientific writing, poetry, and fiction (as judged by a panel of fellow students) independent of SAT verbal scores, Openness to Experience, positive affect, specific behaviors (e.g., deleting prior sentences), and aspects of the product quality (e.g., technical merit). Inspired writers are more efficient and productive, and spend less time pausing and more time writing. The link between inspiration and creativity is consistent with the transcendent aspect of inspiration, since creativity involves seeing possibility beyond existing constraints. Importantly, inspiration and effort predict different aspects of an activity. Individuals who exerted more effort writing spent more of their time pausing, deleted more words, wrote more sentences per paragraph, and had better technical merit and use of rhyming in poems, but their work was not considered more creative.

Inspiration facilitates progress toward goals. In a recent study conducted by Marina Milyavskaya and her colleagues, college students were asked to report three goals they intended to accomplish throughout the course of the semester. They then reported on their progress three times a month. Those who scored higher on the Inspiration Scale displayed increased goal progress, and their progress was a result of setting more inspired goals. Therefore, people who were generally more inspired in their daily lives also tended to set inspired goals, which were then more likely to be successfully attained. Importantly, the relationship between inspiration and goal progress was reciprocal: goal progress also predicted future goal inspiration. As the researchers note, “this suggests that goal progress and goal inspiration build on each other to form a cycle of greater goal inspiration and greater goal pursuit.” Finally, inspired individuals reported experiencing more purpose in life and more gratitude.

Inspiration increases well-being. In another study, those who were exposed to Michael Jordan’s greatness experienced higher levels of positive affect, and this increase in positive affect was completely explained by their score on the Inspiration Scale. This inspiration was not transitory though, predicting positive well-being (e.g., positive affect, life satisfaction) three months later! Inspiration was more strongly related to future than to present satisfaction. The extent to which inspiration lasted was explained by self-reported levels of purpose and gratitude in life.

These findings show that inspiration matters a lot, which may cause someone to feel pressure to become inspired and helpless to do so considering the evocative and spontaneous nature of inspiration. The writer Elizabeth Gilbert rightly expresses this concern in her inspiring TED talk. I agree with Gilbert that one should not put pressure on oneself to become inspired. These key scientific findings suggest that inspiration is not willed–it happens. Knowing this should free you from the pressure to make inspiration happen.

This does not mean that inspiration is completely outside your control. Contrary to the view of inspiration as purely mythical or divine, I think inspiration is best thought of as a surprising interaction between your current knowledge and the information you receive from the world. There are things you can do to increase the likelihood of inspiration occurring. Research shows quite clearly that preparation (“work mastery”) is a key ingredient. While inspiration is not the same as effort, effort is an essential condition for inspiration, preparing the mind for an inspirational experience. Openness to Experience and positive affect are also important, as having an open mind and approach-oriented attitude will make it more likely that you will be aware of the inspiration once it arrives. Small accomplishments are also important, as they can boost inspiration, setting off a productive and creative cycle.
