The summer has arrived, and the major drawbacks of this time are the power cuts. This has become the main problem across the country especially, the schools and colleges in rural areas face a lot of problems.<\/p>

Now, students can have their morning assembly without any interruptions and they can have their class in a better manner.<\/p>
Bhagwat used a solar kit which had solar panels of 6 and 12 watts. In an interview, \"To address a group of 500 students during the most important part of the school, the morning assembly, power cuts increasingly created trouble for us. So I took up this challenge and decided to provide some solution.\"<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1456816867793","data":"56d543e2e2b21"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1456815528699","data":"

The appreciable thing the complete amplifier was constructed in just Rs.500.<\/p>
After his success in the initiative, the solar kits are distributed to other schools and the replica of this has been made to solve the problems of frequent power cuts.<\/p>"}]

The Raspberry Pi is a fantastic, cheap, and surprisingly powerful little computer, but it\u2019s rather lacking in the connectivity department. With the Pi 3, that\u2019s all changing.<\/p>
The Raspberry Pi 3 will cost the same as its predecessor, but feature much more powerful hardware.

Unlike previous boards, the Pi 3 will be able to boot directly from a USB-attached hard or pen drive - rather than having to boot from an SD card. Similarly, Pi 3 will also support booting from a network-attached file system, using PXE, without the need for boot data on an SD card. Peak power consumption of the Pi 3 is about 50 - 60 percent higher than its predecessors though Upton says that \"power consumption at constant workload stays the same\". Alongside the Pi 3 will be the launch of a new official power supply, which will be rated at 2.5A5.1V, compared to the 2A5V-rated supply used by earlier boards. A bonus for people running a Pi as a media center is the new board can play 1080p video at 60 frames per second.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1456748795680","data":"56d438f868387"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1456748643341","data":"

Have you ever dreamed about having super powers? Most likely if you are anything like me you have fantasized about having extraordinary abilities such as super strength or moving objects with your mind.We have found 16 examples of people who claim to have developed some extraordinary abilities. Perhaps we are evolving into a world of zero limits.<\/p>
1. X-Ray Vision :<\/p>
Natasha Demkina is a Russian woman who claims to be able to see into peoples bodies. Just like an X-ray machine she is able to detect problems inside of people and diagnose them.Natasha was a normal kid up until the age of ten according to her mother. At that age her abilities began to manifest.\u201cI was at home with my mother and suddenly I had a vision. I could see inside my mother\u2019s body and I started telling her about the organs I could see. Now, I have to switch from my regular vision to what I call medical vision. For a fraction of a second, I see a colorful picture inside the person and then I start to analyze it.\u201d says Demkina<\/p>
2. Magnetic Body:<\/p>
Liew Thow Lin is a man from Malaysia who can stick metal objects into his body. Although scientists cannot detect anything going on with the magnetics of his body he is able to hold and balance a unique amount of metal objects on his skin.<\/p>
3. Super Human Memory:<\/p>
Daniel Temmet is able to memorize incredible amounts of information. For example he was able to recite Pi up to 22,514 digits in five hours and nine minutes on 14 March 2004.Most Savants are not able to explain how they accomplish their amazing abilities but Daniel is different. He explains that in his mind every whole number up to 10,000 has its own unique texture, color, shape and feel. This has helped him to remember things visually much easier then the average person.In his experience the visual image of 289 as very ugly, 333 is particularly attractive, and pi is beautiful. Perhaps this is how the frequency of numbers and numerology work with the logical world.<\/p>
4. No Need for Sleeping:<\/p>
Imagine what life would be like if you didn\u2019t need to sleep? I know we would miss out on a lot of fun dreams but what could we accomplish? Well Al Herpin cant sleepwas a man who knew what that was like.Al Herpin claimed to have a rare type of insomnia where he didn\u2019t need to sleep and at one point in his life had apparently been awake for over 10 years. This attracted the attention of medical professionals who investigated further.They found no bed, or sleeping place in Al Herpin\u2019s home. He claimed to go to work and then sit in his rocking chair reading until it was time to go to work the next day. He was found to be in good health and also lived to the old age of 94.<\/p>
5. Stomach of Steel:<\/p>
Michel Lotito was known for his ability to eat non-digestable objects without any bad effects. He was seen to consume glass, metal, rubber and other objects. Do not try this at home. <\/p>
6. Super Language Abilities:<\/p>
The average person on earth is estimated to only be able to speak 1.69 languages. Harold Williams, on the other hand was able to speak 58 different languages.Harold was a normal kid until the age of 7 when he describes having an \u2018Explosion in his brain\u2019. After that he learned latin, which is the root to many languages, and couldn\u2019t get enough.He spent his life traveling the world going region by region learning all the languages he could.<\/p>
7. Eagle Vision (20x more acute than the rest of us):<\/p>
Veronica Seider holds the world record for being able to see the smallest object without assistance from technology.In 1972 the University of Stuttgart, in then West Germany, reported that one of their students; Veronica Seider had a visual acuity 20 times better than average person. For example she could identify people at a distance of more than a mile away (1.6 km).The typical person would need a set of binoculars to be able to accurately accomplish that.<\/p>
8. Sonar Vision (like Bats or Dolphins):<\/p>
The-Boy-with-Sonar-Vision-Ben-UnderwoodBen Underwood is an extraordinary person with the ability to see using Human Echolocation. Ben lost his eyes to cancer and is completely blind. However, using a series of clicking noises Ben is able to navigate the world around him.<\/p>
9. High pain tolerance:<\/p>
Now we have heard of people using meditation to ease the pains of child birth but Tim Cridland has decided to use his high tolerance for pain as a means of performance and entertainment.\u201cThere is nothing abnormal about me physically. Everything I\u2019ve done, I\u2019ve trained myself to do. I\u2019d say what I\u2019m doing is demonstrating some kind of extreme examples of what you can do with your mind and combining that with your body. You could take the same techniques I use to overcome pain and use them in your own life to inspire you to persevere against the pains in life we all have to deal with.\u201d Tim Cridland \u2013 Speaking in Faze Magazine<\/p>
10. Communicating with Animals:<\/p>
Kevin_Richardson_with_lionsKevin Richardson is a south african animal behaviorist who had been accepted into several lion prides and clans of hyenas.He has broken almost every safety rule in the book and says he focuses more on intuition than traditional knowledge when it comes to his interactions with these wild animals.Imagine a world where we all lived in harmony with the animals around us.<\/p>
11. Sensory Abilities and the recognition of music:<\/p>
Arthur Lintgen is an american physicist who can look at phonograph records and recognize the song. He says he is able to look at the grooves and recognize the song recorded. He can also tell if the song is being played loud or quiet based on his ability to focus in on the little details of the records.<\/p>
12. Human computer: <\/p>
Shakuntala_DeviShakuntala Devi was a woman born in India with the natural ability to calculate numbers beyond normal human abilities.
