1. UN Security Council designates Masood Azhar as global terrorist:<\/b><\/p>
Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar was listed as a designated terrorist by the UN Security Council 1267 Committee on Wednesday.

\nNevertheless, the listing is a victory for India in a decade-old diplomatic battle waged primarily by it and supported by its friends at the UNSC, as it would mean a travel ban, arms embargo and asset freeze on Azhar. <\/p>

I'm writing this as I know the dread of the exams so rest assured I certainly know what I'm talking about. For the most part, at least. <\/p>
Now, after having written countless papers over the course of the many years I spent in engineering (oh yeah, I didn't graduate in time) and devouring countless cups of coffee and forgoing sleep for nights on end, I've learned one fundamental thing about exams and life in general that has allowed me to fix what was wrong with me and make myself a better person. As much of a pompous buffoon I sound here, I really mean it, learning to fix myself and how I write exams has had a positive impact on my life in general and I've been a much happier individual ever since, currently studying in the US and having my GPA on fleek. <\/p>
That being said, this Halloween will end and a new dawn will rise this December, 2018, the year is almost done and so is your semester, and you're facing the Damocles sword of the end semesters. There is no need to panic about your exams, as the saying goes, the best time to prepare for your exams was at the start of the semester, the second best time is right now. Like seriously. <\/p>
1. Start NOW: <\/b><\/p>
If you're still stressing about your exams but haven't actually started studying yet, what on earth are you even doing here? Lock your phone\/shut down your computer, grab your books and start now. Right now! Don't wait for the appointed hour, no angel or demon is going to descend from the heavens or ascend from the depths of hell to help you along your way. There is no perfect time, the hands on your clock do not have to align perfectly to an arbitrary number that you assign it, you have to start now, and by that I mean right now. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1556797768086","data":"59f856baed282"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1556797768087","data":"
2. Tactically assigned breaks are important: <\/b> <\/p>
And I hope you're reading this piece on one of your breaks, not the other way around. If you have already started preparation in advance, it is important for you to remember that you do not overload yourself with too much at once. Take a break of about 5 to 15 minutes every 2 hours, just let your mind wander, recover and refocus on the task at hand. I highly recommend listening to music or taking a power nap during these breaks. A 15 minute nap can do wonders. As for music, I highly recommend Anathema and This Will Destroy You. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1556797768088","data":"59f856f3c15e7"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1556797768089","data":"
3. 'One Night Batting' Is Absolute Nonsense<\/b>: <\/p>
Don't fall in the trap of believing you can study everything there is to study in one night. First of all, no you cannot, no matter what your friends believe another classmate of yours can do in just one night after partying for the entire semester, and secondly, it actually does you more harm than good. A good night's sleep is not only important for you to focus properly on your exam, it is absolutely imperative for you to be relaxed and prime to write your exam so you do not stress out and forget answers. Yes, that happens. Seriously, sleep on time, it'll do you a lot of good. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1556797768090","data":"59f8572cc6bc0"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1556797768091","data":"
4. Keep an eye on your diet: <\/b><\/p>
A rather unfortunate side effect of stressing out due to exams is stress eating. Back when I was in India, I ate absolute garbage wherever I could find it, deep fried masala filled madness to roadside Chinese that could have burnt a hole straight in my intestines but I ate it anyway because I was stressing out so much I didn't know what else to do. If you follow the above mentioned steps, you should have a handle on your stress levels by now, which is good news, which also means you also get to keep a check on your diet and make sure you're not eating trash that'll just end up spoiling your health. The last thing you need during your exams is an upset stomach or worse, food poisoning. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1556797768092","data":"59f85751e55e9"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1556797768093","data":"
5. Realise that failure is just the beginning: <\/b> <\/p>
What's this? Talking about failure in an article for exam tips? I did not sign up for this! <\/p>
You might be thinking that, but I do believe this is an important issue to tackle for engineering students especially, because many of us believe we can never fail anything until we actually start your undergraduate degrees. The culture of shaming associated with failing exams has no effect in an engineering college, but the culture does leave a mark on those who flunk a paper or two. I've seen people with one paper gone cry their eyes out for hours on end and I've also seen people with 25 backlogs staying calm as a monk and clearing 20 papers in one go. It is all about perspective and how you handle failure, more specifically, what you learn from it. If you fail more than once by making the same mistakes over and over again, then you're turning that failure into something parasitic instead of something you can learn from and purge. <\/p>
There are hard lessons in failure, if you learn them, nobody is going to stop you, nothing will affect you. Go on and shine like a crazy diamond, y'all, cuz when you fail and learn to rise again, you shall rise with such ferocity it will leave everyone around you in awe. Prove your critics wrong, grab what is yours. I believe in you. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1556797768094","data":"59f8576bd5f2f"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1556797768095","data":"

Baby said , \"Okay, then why are our legs long and our feet rounded ?\"<\/p>

The baby camel said , \"Okay ,then why are our eyelashes long? Sometimes it bothers my sight\". <\/p>
Mother said with pride, \"My son,those long thick eyelashes are your protective cover.They help to protect your eyes from the desert sand and wind.<\/p>

A beautiful morning of day thirteen,<\/p>
The sun was about to rise. <\/p>
Birds were up to start their routine, <\/p>
Searching for nuts, seed and rice. <\/p>
\nThe street was dull and busy but old, <\/p>
With bicycles rushing milk and news. <\/p>
Great poor souls cleaning the streets though cold, <\/p>
Sweeping aside fallen leaves and dew. <\/p>
In a beautiful house the work was at brisk, <\/p>
Food in the kitchen, hot water for bath, <\/p>
Worship of the God in another part, <\/p>
My heart aches to write the aftermath. <\/p>
Lo! Broke out the fire, all of the sudden! <\/p>
Extending its flame to uncontrolled height.<\/p>
Burning lakhs of memories, works and wishes, <\/p>
Taking away four lives, causing fright. <\/p>
It was a dawn as beautiful as gold,<\/p>
Burnt to ashes by the fire's cold.<\/p>
When many were still on bed with yawn, <\/p>
To that beautiful family and that beautiful home, <\/p>
It was the Dusk at the Dawn!<\/p>

Recognising the contributions of workers and labourers across the world, May 1 is celebrated as the International Labour Day, with the notable exception of a few countries which celebrate it on other days of the year. While we all know what MayDay or Labour Day is, do we know what prompted it and how workers rights came around to be? <\/p>
Here are the top facts that you need to know about International Worker's Day.<\/p>
1. Bloody history <\/p>
Is there any change that is possible without a bloody revolution? The answer is yes, but sometimes it becomes unavoidable, and all we can do is study it and learn from what happened. Back in the late 1800s, 1886 in fact, around 2,50,000 factory workers in Chicago took to the streets to protest reduction of work hours to 8. Of course the protests were not met with kindly, as the Police shot and killed a worker, and the workers retaliated with a bomb, killing police offers. <\/p>
Today, we remind ourselves of what happened just so we remember not to do it all over again. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493469718218","data":"59048a6b9a925"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493469737359","data":"
2. The Day is dotted with parades and demonstrations <\/p>
Even to this day, despite the sacrifices of the many works over the years, working conditions still remain abysmal for many people, thus requiring protests and demonstrations. It has historically been a day to make the worker's voice heard. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1493469975252","data":"59048b677cda5"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1493469978773","data":"
3. May Day's ancient origins <\/p>

5. Different countries, Different Dates, Same Sentiment <\/p>

1. What exactly is the brain built on?<\/b> <\/p>
Grey matter and white matter is all it takes to make a brain , but there is a lot more like the brain tissues ,and bundles of axons. If there is more to it, a person can differentiate between neurons and glia.\n\nBut what is not answered are the types of brain cells,the neurons and their electrical property and how the brain thinks.\n <\/p>
2. What happens when you get a disease?<\/b> <\/p>
There are various kinds of brain cells which remain unidentified. When a person suffers from syndromes, diseases and disorders related to the brain , there is barely any cure available and gene therapy ? How is it going to solve the mystery because we dont know which cell actually gets affected. <\/p>
3. Neurons communicate , but how?<\/b> <\/p>
Many of us would learnt about synapse in our science books and it is true for most of them but there are other signalling molecules which we have not discovered yet. We dont know where drugs like meth, heroine or medicines for anti depression act on in the brain. Its difficult because there are more than a billion synapses taking place and mapping them is a mammoth task and impossible for now.<\/p>
4. Our brain is literally a supercomputer, how?<\/b> <\/p>
Understanding what the brain is made up of , is a challenge in itself but trying to explain how it coordinates , combines and manages this complexity is a much bigger challenge. Just imagine , how quick your brain actually is? An object is thrown at your face and you move in a fraction of a second, that is faster than an app opening in your Iphone. How? Nobody knows it yet. <\/p>
5.If you want to understand a brain , what exactly will it take?<\/b> <\/p>
Biology is not going to explain it. It does not care about beauty and brain does not care if you dont. It takes a lot of science and history to get this going but dont worry , We are way different than what we were a decade ago, Thanks to the geniuses of Technology and Artificial Intelligence.<\/p>"}]
