NET BANKING A BOON?

Traditional banks offer many services to their customers, including accepting customer money deposits, providing various banking services to customers, and making loans to individuals and companies. Compared with the traditional channels offering banking services through physical services, Net banking use the internet to deliver traditional banking services to their customers, such as opening accounts, transferring funds, and electronic bill payment.

Net banking can be offered in two main ways, first, an existing bank with physical offices can also establish an online site and offer net banking services to its customers in addition to the regular channel, Net banking is provided without extra cost to customers. Customers are attracted by the convenience of Net banking through the internet and in turn, banks can operate more efficiently when customers perform transactions by themselves rather than going to the bank branch and dealing with a branch representative.

Net banking services are delivered to customers through the internet and web using Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). One of the main and important concerns of Net banking is security, without great confidence in security customers are unwilling to use a public network such as the internet to view their financial information and conduct financial transactions. Some of the security threads include invasion of an individual’s privacy and theft of confidential information. Banks with E-banking service offer several methods to ensure a high level of security :

  1. Identification and authentication
  2. Encryption
  3. Firewalls

The range of e-banking services is likely to increase in the future. Some banks plan to introduce electronic money and electronic cheques. Electronic money can be stored in computers or smart cards and consumers can use electronic money to purchase goods of small value over the internet. Electronic cheques will look similar to paper cheques, but they can be sent from the buyer to sellers over the internet, electronically endorsed by the seller, and forwarded tot eh seller’s bank for electronic collection from the buyer’s bank. Further bank seeks to offer its customers more products and services like insurance, mortgage, financial planning, and brokerage. This will not only deliver more values to the customers but also help banks to grow business and revenues.

The era of artificial intelligence.

With the development of science and technology a great change came in working of human life. The development of artificial intelligence which refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like human and mimic their actions.Nearly 20 years into the 21st century, our World has dramatically reshaped into modern computing and now every company is using Artificial intelligence(AI).The introduction of AI to different technologies such as industrial production, robotic replacing workers, virtual assistant,creating a centralised device for all your information and autonomous vehicles that will see human driving along side.The best known example of (AI) is in the emerging field of autonomous car.Big companies like Google and Tesla their self driving car and Autopilot system respectlly.It is being used in e-commerce business to expand their circullum.It plays a great role in protecting the cyber security.With (AI) and automation is a concern and fear for good reason. A two year study from MC Kinsey global institute suggest that by 2030 robots could replace as much as 30% of the current labour.So the development of (AI) could spell the end of human race it would take of its own re-design itself at increasing rate.

Instagram Envy

Today’s world is full of influencers. What you eat, what you wear, where you go on holiday, and even what you speak is heavily influenced by social media. Although people today are smart enough to realize that it is not okay to compare yourself to other people, social media still provides you numerous opportunities to do just that.

Recall that heavy feeling in your heart when you see your friends and celebrities posting photos doing exciting things like going on long drives, attending glamorous parties, and visiting rare places. This sinking feeling is known as Instagram Envy.

Instagram is all about unadulterated voyeurism. You will not find Facebook’s messiness or Twitter’s relatable content in the posts here. Instagram is almost a photo site with built-in vintage filters idealizing your every moment. It encourages its users to create these perfect layouts of their lives, almost as if everyone is living their fairy tale.

Why Instagram Envy Happens

There is an unspoken rule adopted by the users worldwide to avoid populating the feeds with any mediocre or unedited pictures. Now you might feel that it is all about showing off to your followers, but that is not the case here. It is trying to level with everyone else posting one amazing picture after another; it is trying to feel good about yourself that you are in no way less than any of your friends. Owing to this rule, people often end up spending hours in hopes of composing an image of food as simple as a glass of coke over a dish of pizza worthy enough for their Instagram feed.

envy

The followers, on the other hand, are expected to indulge in the ethics of impress rather than confess, all the while being swept away from the sumptuous photos and chipping in with beautiful comments. Even the likes are shaped like little hearts, reinforcing in the minds of the viewers, the idea that each shot is a performance worthy of applause. Every last image is an advertisement for the self.

In a society focused on physical appearance, this is perhaps no surprise that there is an element of narcissism to Insta-bragging. People with a higher level of narcissism post more self-presented photos and update their profile picture often.

Dealing with Instagram Envy

One approach to counteract Instagram envy is to showcase love, not luxury. People who generate Instagram envy can also use the same platform to demonstrate that they understand and embrace the value of citizens of all social and economic strata by posting about them. They will gain more followers than foes by showcasing love.

instagram

Another aspect you need to understand is that living through the lens is not all bad. Social media has made us all social, without a doubt. You catch up with long lost friends in no time because you already have an idea of what is going on in their lives. But you need to accept social media for what it is – it is social and it is, after all, media. You really shouldn’t blindly believe everything you see. You learn through experience that it is better to know how to post than to boast.

“Space debris – A Piling threat”?

Development in science and technologies around the world since the last 8-9 decades over even more than that, humans interference and involvement in and with nature and atmosphere has been seen quite frequently. Be it cutting of trees through machines for making buildings, or destroying mountains, or through emissions by factories and industries in any direction one can pick, has led to an increase in pollution. All these activities through the collaboration of technology has made life of each and every individual residing in this planet more easier and comfortable along with every commodity and facility possible. Moreover we humans have succeed even to space with these technologies, and this have increased our horizon of research based on space, different cosmos and our reach to them. Over a successful attempt to land on the moon in the late 60’s ,proved that man can reach places with the utilization of his mind and putting it in the right direction and thus navigating it to achieve unknown possibilities. 

Human intervention in space and it’s activity has helped humans in a number of ways,and this opened the door to much more fields of action. Be it satellites for communications, or weather forecast or for defence or be it analysis of any space phenomenon happening at some light years or even knowing how our earth looks from the outside, this space exploration has helped mankind in countless ways and will be doing in many ways in near future. But all these activities and common trips to space has led us to face another problem which sooner and even now is affecting much of our activities being conducted in space and may be harming our future expeditions . Space debris, a common word to hear these days, with many of these falling back on earth while a number of thousands and lakhs still present in our orbit and above. 

Space debris could be defined as the junk which is no longer of any use. These could anything which ones got to space performs its function, became dysfunctional but never came back.  This could be remains of satellites or the particles of rockets which got destroyed in space after it’s work was no longer operational. These space debris have been a part of space as long as we have started our journey and more often trips to space. These have been significantly growing with times with limited actions in the attempt to reduce these. These space debris can be as big as a satellite itself and as small as a screw and even a smaller particle or object than it. 

There have been many instances when we humans have left things in space which later with time became a debris. Many human efforts other than this could be testing of anti satellite missile as tested by many countries like USA, China and even India. This surely has left a large amount of debris in space. As per the reports and sources, most of the damage in these spacecraft when they came back and tested were acknowledged to be from paint chips, other from steel and other damages by parts of other metals which have been left as a waste in the space after the explosion  of rockets. The consent of a space debris was not so common in the starting years, but as through our common intervention in space, the problem of space debris significantly saw a hike from 1% to 17% in a year which exceeded to 25% and at present it is 50% . Which is not a good figure for any company to be operational in space activity. . 

There have been many instances in space when these space debris hit the space station, and the crew had to repair it as soon as possible so as to reduce the dysfunctionality of the whole station and loss of any life. So for this more often they use shield-like structure which protects them from debris hitting whenever they get a warning from the headquarters of any debris prevailing in the nearby radius of the station. This sheet is known as  Whipple shield, which divides the coming particle or debris to break into smaller pieces after the collision, so  it protects the direct contact and greater damage to the ship. 

But the major issue is that every year a large budget is required to make the material of these ships stronger and impact resistance to bear any kind of damage due to debris, and a lot of investment is done in this sector. But unfortunately, we humans are still not able to notice much of the debris, and thus still damage the station and our satellites and we have to invest more in reconstructing them or repairing them by sending support from the ISS or from the ground, which thus proves to be quite costlier. 

But as per the experts, if we still not do anything, then a cluster of space debris would surround us and thus would trap us from moving out of this planet if we still not take a step in reducing this. There have been many efforts by space companies and especially by SpaceX  as they are using reusable rockets which do not explode or remain after their objective is completed rather come back and thus  can be used again, thus saving cost of making it again and reducing a greater amount of space debris. Particular ways out have still not been found to catch these debris as they travel at high speeds. But scientists are coming with the technology which could reduce the speed of these objects and fall down back to earth after leaving their orbits. One of such technology is a High power laser  which would be providing the opposite force to the object and thus slow it down. The other thing is to trap these down, but it requires a huge investment. But the bigger problem is if these space debris fall with or even with notice, these can be a harm to the people on the earth . So a proper planning and working would be done in accordance to attempt these. 

There are many companies which are utilizing this space junk to make business. Company name Werenbach are using these space junk to manufacture watches. So the utilization of these materials could help save a lot of material to be wasted and also save cost in making it. 

“We humans have polluted our space, and we are still continuing to do it. Strict rules and policies must be signed and worked on by every country in should perform this action of cleaning space debris in unity as this space belongs to every person and thus come up with ideas to sort this problem and thus clean out the junk before it’s late to take action”.

The LED lights used on the roof are also giving a luxury touch to the kitchen because led are brighter than that of normal tube lights. The large wooden cabinets are designed by keeping the thing in mind that the large kitchen equipment can be kept in the lower cabinets whether than keeping it on the upper cabinets to prevent it from falling of crockery.

On June 14, Nobel prize winner and scientist Karl Landsteiner was born. He has got the credit for finding the ABO blood group system. World Blood Donor Day is celebrated on the birthday of Karl Landsteiner,who discovered various blood groups.Before Carl detected blood groups, blood transfusions used to happen without knowing the various blood groups. This discovery made Karl Landsteiner win the Nobel Prize in the year 1930.

Benefits of donating blood:

  • Helps in controlling weight.
  • It keeps your liver healthy.

  • Helps in smooth blood circulation.
  • Helps in burning calories.

Blood donation has been compounded severely by the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown.In early April, the Indian Red Cross Society had raised an alarm that voluntary donation had fallen by almost 100%.This isn’t surprising, given that the number of Covid cases is rising, making infected people and those who come into contact with them ineligible to donate.

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has now issued guidelines for safe donation of blood during the ongoing pandemic. Go through the guidelines on this website to know safe blood donation during covid pandemic-https://www.mohfw.gov.in › …PDF

Interview – An Important Personality And Attitude Test To Get Qualified For A Job

In today’s time, if someone wants to join a company or a better job, they have to qualify the interview. Interview is a conversation between interviewer and interviewee. The interviewer asks the question and the interviewee responds. To get hired for a job, an interviewee’s experience and knowledge is important, but a good personality, skills, the way of talking, dressing sense and attitude of that person also matters. In today’s generation, a person can clear all the exams through Jack and cheating, so big companies interview before hiring, which is taken by the chief officers, but it is not only limited to companies, it is also taken in many government jobs as no one can hire with the help of cheating.
In 95% interviews, the first question asked is to tell about yourself. This question seems to be very easy, but it’s very difficult. In this question, the person in front of you notices your way of talking, confidence and communication skills. Many people answer in stutter and speak thoughtfully. To qualify this question they should tell their name first, then their parents name, from where they belong and at last they should tell about their education and from where they completed it. They should tell these all information feel free.
The second question may be that what you know about our company? Where you listen about this? In this question interviewer tries to know that how much you have prepared yourself and how much you researched about it. He tries to know that really you are prepared or you come without any preparation. To answer this question, firstly prepare yourself with the whole history of the company and tell them everything you know about it like the company is how many years old, which awards it has got.

The third question may be asked that how much you know about this work ? Why you choosed this work ? Why you want to make your carrier in this. Through this question, the interviewer wants to know that how much you are serious and interested in this job. Many people replies like we have to fulfill parent’s dream or there is more money in this job or they have to marry their sister. This type of replies puts a false impression on interviewer. Interviewer thinks that he/she is not self interested in this job and they came in the temptation and forcedness. The interviewer can reply like I am interested in this field from my school life, and I like this work, I want to make my career with this job and I will play an important role in growth of your company.

Fourth question that may arise is that why should the company hire you? By this question the interviewer tries to know that how much you are positive and tries to know your emotion. Many people replies in this way like I am very hard worker, I can work more in holidays etc. This answer looks very odd and seems that you cannot manage the time properly. The answer should be like I plan before working, I always try to make my work correct and better. I do all my work with my full effort. If answer is like above then the interviewer will impress.
Fifth question that may arise is to tell about your any weakness. By this question your weakness is predicted. If you reply that I become angry immediately or I feel starved, it will also put a false impression, so answer should be like I do all my work with planning so sometimes it takes some more time. It will put a better impression on interviewer.
So, be confident in an interview. If you are not confident, you will be rejected.

Chinese Diplomacy: Changing Nature

Beginning:

The Peoples’ Republic of China founded in 1949. Zhou Enlai was China’s head of government, serving from October 1949 until his death in January 1976. He was also the Foreign Minister. Here giving a very short introduction about Zhou is necessary because he was one of the best diplomats in China. His style of diplomacy came to define Chinese foreign policy over the next century. Mao was the leader of the country but the Zhou Enlai was one who managed the complete government behind the curtain. The official position of Zhou Enlai was premier which was officially head of government. But now there is no value of Premier of China. All control under the Chinese President Xi-Jinping. Over time everything goes cloudy.

Refined and “United front” Approach to Diplomacy

If Mao Zedong represented the crude face of Chinese communism, then Zhou was the epitome of its refinement. Where Mao preferred to exercise his power from “out of the barrel of a gun” but Zhou preferred to seduce his opponents through word and gesture in the pursuit of national self-interest, with the elegance of an opera star. The stick was used rarely, and only when all other means of persuasion failed. 

Zhou’s strategy was consistent with the three principles. And these three principles are called the “United Front”.

Avoid isolation: Do not be isolated in the world because China was a communist country at that time which was not recognized as a country by other western countries. But India was the first that recognize China as a country. 

Build solidarity with non-aligned countries: During the Cold War, maximum parts of the world divided into two parts. First, the country who took a standoff in favour of the USA and another one who took stand in favour of Russia. But fewer countries remain neutral. And it was China’s policy to build a strong relationship with them. 

Divide the West: Ultimately, the goal was set by China to divide the USA, UK and other western countries. Therefore, it shows that China was unofficial stands in favour of Russia.

This United Front defined as isolate the main threat by building unity with all other forces.

Korean War: Examination of Chinese Diplomacy

Korean War started in 1950, one year after the foundation of PRC.

The USA invaded North Korea, Zhou summoned the Indian Ambassador in Beijing to deliver a message to the Americans “If the U.S troops cross the 38th Parallel, then Chine will intervene in this matter and took the side of North Korea because North Korea was also a communist country. If Zhou wanted, he could covey this message by his own, but uses the diplomatic step to take this action. And India was later persuaded to act as a neutral mediator between China and the US during many difficult phases of the negotiations settling the Korean War.

PRC at International Fora

In 1954, PRC participated in Geneva conference on the Korean War and Indo China War

Zhou’s strategy was to undermine western unity – Persuasion and compromise. The US anticipated that Chinese humiliation at the conference but Zhou handle the situation by deploying all his charm, vitality and intelligence. And finally, playing the weaker hand, Zhou turned the tables on the US.

Important Qualities of Chinese Diplomacy in the Past

Under Zhou, diplomats of calibre kept the ship of state steady in churning sea full of norms. When the tide rose, these diplomatic fishermen gathered the fish – expanding China’s global peace presence and gaining international acceptability. When it ebbed they saw to it that the ship remained firmly moored. They navigated the Cold War, playing the Soviets against the Americans. Additionally, 24 Character Strategy supplemented to Zhou’s strategy by other Chinese Diplomats. And it was “observe calmly; secure our position; cope with affairs calmly; hide our capacities and bide our time; be good at maintaining a low profile; and never claim leadership;

And the outcome of this diplomacy was praiseworthy. By the end of the twentieth century, another country was started recognizing China as a powerful developing country. China persuaded US President Richard Nixon to abandon Taiwan. All this was the result of a staggering act of the best diplomacy.

Change in Style

At the current time, China prospered and began to occupy centre stage in the world diplomacy, but the ship began to come apart from its moorings. A new generation of diplomats, with knowledge of the English language, arrogance increases and it has replaced humility. Persuasion is quickly abandoned in favour of the stick when countries take actions contrary to Chinese wishes. China pursuing unilateralism instead of compromise in the South China Sea. In place of ‘united front’ tactics, they are bent on creating problems simultaneously with multiple neighbouring countries. Statements of fact or reasoned opinions are seen by them as insult or humiliation.
