researches have greatly minimized the dangers, and we do not worry about them today. Knowledge of science has taught us that, if electricity is a lard-working servant, it is a servant that needs constant vigilance. Great though the advance has been in the use of electricity in our 'daily life, we have not reached the end of the possibilities of using electric energy. A time will come when electricity will be man's only servant at home and abroad, the sole power that orders and regulates his life. Its benefits indeed are too great to be described in brief.

🔷Coronavirus is plunging the global economy into its worst crisis since 2009
The coronavirus is plunging the world economy into its worst downturn since the global financial crisis, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which warned Monday that growth could be cut in half if the outbreak continues to spread.
Global gross domestic product would grow by just 1.5% in 2020 if the coronavirus spreads widely throughout Asia, Europe and North America, the OECD said. That's roughly half the 2.9% growth rate the group projected for 2020 before the outbreak, and severe enough to push Japan and Europe into recession.
Policymakers around the world must act now to prevent such a scenario, the OECD said. It called for a coordinated global response to contain the outbreak, recommending that governments increase spending and central banks implement policies to help cushion the blow from the virus./New York Times

The prints on the new passports serve as background for the visa pages used for entry and exit stamps. The front page design remains the same.
Japan is now top of the leaderboard, its passports offering visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to an incredible 191 destinations around the world./Washington Post

📚🔍Book Details
The Handmaid's Tale, published in 1985, is a dystopian novel written by Canadian author Margaret Atwood. It is set in a near-future New England, in a totalitarian state resembling a theonomy that overthrows the United States government.
The Handmaid's Tale explores themes of subjugated women in a patriarchal society and the various means by which these women resist and attempt to gain individuality and independence.
After a staged attack that killed the President of the United States and most of Congress, a radical political group called the "Sons of Jacob" used quasi-Christian ideology to launch a revolution. The United States Constitution was suspended, newspapers were censored, and what was formerly the United States of America was changed into a military dictatorship resembling a theonomy, known as the Republic of Gilead.

🔷The use of electricity in daily life
When Benjamin Franklin proved the connection of lightning with electricity, he paved the way for researches that have led to the harnessing of the greatest power in nature so far known to the services of mankind, and thus conferring on the human race incalculable benefits. For we cannot imagine the modern world without electricity. In almost every town worth the name, the residence of almost every citizen is at least lighted by electricity; and in many of them, in a tropical country, it is used to drive the fans in the hot days.
Some use electric cooking ranges in their kitchen; this is ever so convenient since it does not produce ashes or soot, and its heat can be regulated according to necessity. Electric bells are now usual in offices, in educational institutions, and in many private homes. Rich people air-condition their rooms with the help of electric power. Refrigerators for the storage of food are becoming more and more common; they help in saving food which would otherwise have been thrown away.
The telephone, as yet a rarity in Indian homes, is indispensable in Europe and America. The radio is fast finding its way into our homes in the remotest parts of the country. Machines for laundering and for cleaning up are common in European houses, and will soon be in ours, as servants become rare, and housewives have to be busy outside homes.
Outside home, we are coming to depend more and more on electricity. We go to our schools or office in electric trams. We send messages of urgency far and near over the electric wire. Electricity is needed to broadcast radio messages. In America and Europe, as well as in our country, television is used to see and enjoy interesting sights in distant places: sitting in one's home one can witness something of a football match or a public ceremonial. Tele-vision and radio add a cheerful note to family life.
This is a marvel of the universe;
To fling a thought across a stretch of sky, -
Some weighty message, or a yearning cry,
It matters not: the elements rehearse
Man's urgent utterance, and his words traverse
The spacious heaven like homing birds.
Electricity is a blessing to the physician who has to take its aid in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The engineer has reason to bless it for, simplifying his work. In the laboratory of the scientist it is a constant assistant. In the office its utility is universally admitted; without various types of electrical appliances a modern office would come to a standstill. From the rotary fan to the circulating escalator from the Dictaphone to the accounting machine,—there is a variety of mechanical contrivances run by electric power that operates gigantic machines and does the work of hundreds of men. The farmer has learnt to use it as an aid in the cultivation of the field. Thus from the home to field and factory it is everywhere a tireless servant of man.
The superiority of electricity over other forms of power is patent. As a means of warming or lighting our rooms it does not pollute the atmosphere, for it neither consumes the oxygen nor gives out carbonic gas. Its power of illumination is, also very much greater than all other artificial means of lighting. In our kitchens the use of electric stoves eliminates smoke and soot. However inconvenient, otherwise-e the electric tram is superior to petrol-driven engines of motor vehicles in that it does not poison the atmosphere by emitting foul smoke. The growing scarcity of domestic assistants makes the use of electrical gadgets a boon and a blessing. It improves sanitation ar,1 ensures cleanliness. Electricity is not however, without its element of risk. It is a deadly and uncertain servant. A shock produced by contact with a live wire that is carelessly left uninsulated or unprotected may cause instant death. A slight dislocation anywhere might lead to a sudden stoppage of supply, and might hold up without warning very important work. It is often affected by atmospheric conditions and this causes trouble and irritation. Of course, modern
📚🔍Book Details
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a fantasy novel written by British author J. K. Rowling and the second novel in the Harry Potter series. The plot follows Harry's second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, during which a series of messages on the walls of the school's corridors warn that the "Chamber of Secrets" has been opened and that the "heir of Slytherin" would kill all pupils who do not come from all-magical families. These threats are found after attacks that leave residents of the school petrified. Throughout the year, Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione investigate the attacks.
The film adaptation of the novel, released in 2002, became (at that time) the fifth highest-grossing film ever and received generally favourable reviews.

Desktop computer need a CPU, an UPS, a keyboard and a mouse for well functioning however laptop does not need anything to add outside as it is included with all inside. Computer is an electronic device having big memory which can save any data value. We are living in the advanced world of computer in the 21st century.
Earlier the functioning of the old generation computer was very limited but new generation computers are amazing with lots of functioning. Charles Babbage had invented the first mechanical computer which was totally different from the modern day computer. The aim of computer invention was to create a machine which can perform very fast mathematical calculations. During the World War II it was used to locate and estimate the direction and speed of weapons of the enemies. Modern day computers are available with the artificial Intelligence technology to helps us in every sector of life.
New generation computer are being highly advanced means smaller, lighter, speedier and more powerful.

🔶If I were a millionaire
We often hear elderly people advising their young ones to forget the past and the future and care for the present only. But there is hardly any one who has no ambition for a higher status than his present one. This constant struggle for a higher position and money remains with a man till the last day of his life. This struggle, in fact, is essential for achieving higher ends in life.
I belong to the middle-class. I can never think of earning millions of dollars but there is nothing wrong in harboring the hope that I might win a lottery. Suppose I am fortunate enough to win a lottery of millions of dollars, I will try to spend it in the most appropriate manner so as to derive the maximum pleasure out of it.
My colleagues advise me that at the very outset, I should endeavor to improve my lot. I should have a huge mansion to live in and a car for the family. But my idea of life is quite different. Rather than improving my lot, I am much more interested in uplifting the condition of the poor masses of the country.
My country is poor. There are people in my country who hardly get two square meals a day, what more to speak of enjoying the comforts and luxuries of life. They are semi-fed and semi-clad. Most of these people are living in villages, where the main occupation of the people is agriculture. I will offer them a loan at a very nominal interest to enable them to purchase tractors, fertilizers and better seeds. This scheme will save the villagers from the village money lender.
I will invest a good portion of my money in constructing a hospital with all the modem amenities. I will employ highly qualified doctors. This hospital will be run free of charge for the poor masses. Charities will always be awaited from the rich classes. This will save people from the jaws of death.
Many people, particularly in villages, have no means of recreation, I shall spend a part of my wealth to provide means of recreation for the Many people, particularly in villages, have no means of recreation, I shall spend a part of my wealth to provide means of recreation for the poor. I shall open various social and educational centers at various places.
Since there is no adequate provision for the support of orphans and widows, I would, therefore, lose no time in opening new centers for widows and orphans. They will work and earn their livelihood honorably. This will certainly help in the cause of country's advancement.
There may be people who will jeer and mock at my utter foolishness of spending millions of dollars in this manner. Probably they do not realize that a man gets inner happiness in helping the poor, which is much more than the sensual pleasures that a man can get from the money he possesses. To spend money like this, will be my dearest hopes and aspirations.

🔷What qualities would you look for in a future wife or husband?
Along the road from cradle to grave many of us get married. This in itself can cause more emotional disturbance than all the other events of our lives combined. Many factors make the difference between marital bliss and having "an old ball-and-chain" but the most important factor is probably whom we choose to marry. That is why I often meditate on the qualities I would seek in my future wife.
To be honest, the first thing I notice when I meet a girl is whether she is pretty or not. Long lashes and sparkling eyes do not cause someone to "fall in love at first sight", of course, but few people go round seeking ugly mates. I am no different.
Of course, I would also prefer to have a wife who is intelligent. Some men have the stereotyped "dumb blonde" image of a perfect woman. However, I know my life will be enriched by having an intellectually stimulating partner to share my thoughts with, and to offer fresh insights to old situations. More importantly, a husband and wife should be intellectually matched so that they can understand each other.
Sports and games and other recreational activities are fun and foster closer ties. Who better to enjoy sports with than my wife? This will draw us even closer together. A wife should, after all, be a true friend whom I can have fun with and want to spend my leisure activities with. So, my ideal mate will be someone who participates in the games and sports I like or at least, be willing to learn them.
Often, quarrels between husband and wife concern other family members. Your wife may be perfect but her parents may be irritating beyond comprehension. There was, for example, an incident in City Center where one man's mother-in-law came to stay. One day, she cooked and ate his pet dog for dinner! So, I always say that one's future in-laws should always be checked carefully before one makes decisions about marriage.
If you are dead tired after a long, frustrating day at work, a loving wife who comforts you and listens to your problems can really make a difference. So I would say, a sympathetic, caring kind of woman is the only one with whom I would make any commitments for marriage.
Commitment is very important on her part, too. If a girl isn't prepared to be faithful to you but she marries you anyway, chances are she's going to run away and leave you one day, for your best friend, perhaps.
I realize that I have listed a whole string of qualifications for my future wife. Well, if I can find all these qualities in one woman, I will really consider her The Ideal Wife. However, chances are, with a girl like that, everyone else will be trying to win her hand, too. So, I'll be in for a tough time! Furthermore, as the proverb goes, "The best laid plans of mice and men can fail". More than likely, I will meet a girl one day, fall in love and get married. And even though she might not be perfect, I'll love her, and, through the years, that might just be enough.

📚🔍Book Details
Jonathan Livingston Seagull, written by Richard Bach, is a fable in novella form about a seagull who is trying to learn about life and flight, and a homily about self-perfection. The book reached the top of the New York Times Best Seller list, where it remained for 37 weeks. In 1972 and 1973, the book topped the Publishers Weeklylist of bestselling novels in the United States.
One day Jonathan meets two gulls who take him to a "higher plane of existence" in which there is no heaven, but a better world found through perfection of knowledge. There he meets another seagull who loves to fly. He discovers that his sheer tenacity and desire to learn make him "pretty well a one-in-a-million bird." In this new place, Jonathan befriends the wisest gull, Chiang, who takes him beyond his previous self-education, and teaches him how to move instantaneously to anywhere else in the Universe. The secret, Chiang says, is to "begin by knowing that you have already arrived."

Hotel California
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night.
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
'This could be heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face.
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say"
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face.
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said, 'we are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
'Relax' said the night man,
'We are programmed to receive.
You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!'
