Cops to help set up dump yard in Adityapur
ontacted, AMC mayor Vinod Srivastava admitted dumping garbage posed a problem in the industrial town but also explained why it existed. "Wherever and whenever we get land for a garbage dump, residents nearby start opposing strongly. That's why, despite necessary funds at our disposal to set up a dumping yard, we have not been able to do so yet," mayor Srivastava said.He added that the Seraikela-Kharsawan district administration, under which the industrial township fell, had recently provided the civic body a new plot at Nutandih in Ward 1 of the AMC, but as soon as residents came to know, they started objecting."As soon as word was out that we would set up a compound wall on this one-acre plot for a dumping yard, residents started raising objections. We have, therefore, decided to raise the boundary wall very soon under police protection," Srivastava said.He added that people objected to a dumping yard near their homes fearing stench, filth and an outbreak of diseases."But what they don't realise is that a dumping yard constructed by a corporation would be a covered structure. We are aware of the concerns (of the people) and they would be addressed."All Adityapur residents that this correspondent spoke to said they wanted a dumping yard but no one wanted it close to their home or locality.Harishankar Singh of Nutandih said whatever the corporation did, "covering or recycling or whatever", stench was bound to come out. "That's why we are protesting," Singh said.Sangeeta Singh of Kalpanapur in Adityapur alleged the civic body had no common sense. "There's garbage near homes, on the road and playground. I've stopped my children from playing outside," she said. "The corporation should select a proper place far away from human habitation," she suggested.Asked where such a place could be in a congested town, she kept quiet.

Holi 2019 Date: When is Holi in 2019?
SIGNIFICANCE On the eve of Holi,a large bonfire, termed as holika dahan, is lit. People gather around the fire known as Chhoti Holi and perform 'pingpuja' whilepraying for the longevity and prosperity of their loved ones. On the second day of celebrations known as Rangpanchami, people play with colours. It is believed that Krishna used to celebrate the festival with colours at Vrindavan and Gokul. At some places, people also form a human pyramid and break a pot full of buttermilk hung at a considerable height. HISTORY One of the most popular legends is the story of Hiranyakashyap who was a demon king and wanted to be immortal. While he wanted everyone to worship him as god, his son Prahlada was a devotee of Vishnu and this used to offend him. Once he asked his sister, who had a divine shawl that could not catch fire, to sit on raging flames with Prahlad in her lap. But Lord Vishnu, impressed by Prahlad's devotion, killed both Hiranyakashyap and his sister. Another legend of Holi celebrations that is extremely popular in south India is that of Lord Shiva and Kaamadeva. It is believed Kaamadeva, the god of passion, awoke Shiva from his deep meditation so he could save the world. Dailyhunthttps://www.theverge.com/users/feetergeeten
Born deaf and mute, 9-year-old Jaipur girl now a storytelling champion
Her hearing device was fitted free of cost under a cochlear implant programme started in SMS hospital, Jaipur, in 2010. A year later the state government too pitched in with support from the chief minister's relief fund. The facility of implants is currently offered free of cost in Jodhpur, Bikaner, Udaipur and Kota medical college hospitals. A total of 615 implants have been fitted across the state in both children and adults . According to doctors , hearing impairment is the second most common cause of disability in the country, with an estimated 63 million people suffer from hearing loss. Around 100,000 babies born are born with hearing deficiency every year and one in every 1,000 children who suffer severe to profound hearing loss require an implant. The implants (both internal as well as external) costs anywhere between Rs 8 and Rs10 lakh in private hospitals, while the cost is half in most government hospitals. 'I am thankful to my parents and doctors who introduced me to the world of sound and music,' said Anisha. 'Many children need the implant. The government should help them, too,' said Anisha. Dr Mohnish Grover, ENT expert at SMS hospital,who treated Anisha, said, 'There is an immediate need for newborn screening to diagnose hearing impairment. This will help them to fit the device at a much younger age allowing them to grow up like other functional children.' At present, deafness in children is diagnosed at the age of 3-5 years.' Dr Grover said the internal implant can last up to 20 years, but external devices and accessories, which cost between Rs 10,000 to Rs 40,000 require service or replacement.

Boarding vs day school: How can you make the right choice?
How, and on what basis, is a parent to decide whether to send their child away, or keep them at home? To shed some light on this justifiable conundrum, let us first examine some truths about both systems of education. Here are some plain and simple truths that could be advantageous or not, depending on one's point of view. Boarding school education By living away from home and from the protective cocoon of parents and family, generally boarding schools are able to instill a sense of freedom, independence and confidence that is hard to match if a student attends day school. By that same token however, if the home base is not emotionally strong, students who attend boarding school might become emotionally detached, unable later in life, to cohabit with family. The focus in most boarding schools extends far beyond academic or scholastic excellence. The emphasis is on overall development. With a plethora of options for extra-curricular activities such as sports, debating, dramatics, students are presented with a better prospect of honing their personalities than at day school. Most boarding schools also espouse a philosophy of simple, spartan living. Those used to a more cossetting lifestyle will initially find it hard but if they settle in, they will come out as individuals who can survive on very little luxury. This is further developed by being one with nature and 'roughing it out' through experiences such as trekking, cycling, rafting and other excursions that are a regular feature of a good boarding school's calendar. It is a myth that if a child is behaving badly at home, or is too 'spoilt', a boarding school will 'fix' the problem. Often, those who have behaviour issues or deficits will find that boarding school, the freedom and independence it brings, can exasperate the issue. These aren't 'correctional facilities' and should not therefore be perceived as such. Boarding schools initiate tremendous bonding and a genuine ethos of shared living that can become lifelong qualities in a student. They also tend to attract people from various parts of the country, abroad even, and therefore present a wonderful opportunity for inter-community interaction and living. A boarding school is also a very strong brotherhood/sisterhood and post school, the tight-knit alumni is an excellent and loyal network to tap into, commonly a lot stronger than those of day schools. Day school education The biggest and most obvious advantage of a day school education is that a parent has their ward at home with them. This is a great feeling for the parent and child. However, this same fact can also lead to over-interference on the part of the parent into not just school-related matters of the child but also in the general day to day life, which could, especially in the teens and beyond, become an annoyance. A day school generally operates in a much more centralised fashion as compared to a boarding school. While most matters are handled within a boarding school between student and master, at day school, typically a child's parents are summoned at the drop of a hat. Depending on the specifics, this could be a good or a bad thing. For students who are studious, and have a specific academic goal in mind, day schools present an ideal setting in which to chase that aim. The mix of academic-focus at school and living at home (with certain targeted classes that parents can organise after-school hours) create a conducive environment for concerted studies that might be difficult at boarding school. The quality of a day school can vary wildly so parents considering keeping their wards in their own cities and towns must research the school they are considering thoroughly. While most boarding schools employ similar philosophies of education, and are by and large on an even quality-standard, this disparity is a lot more when it comes to day schools. Be mindful of it. Opinion is divided sharply on it on this final point. However, I feel that if your ward is someone who is overly attached and emotionally dependent on you, day school is a much better fit for him/her than boarding school. Contrary to popular belief, boarding schools are not 'fix it' places. It requires a child of a certain kind of disposition and inherent confidence to really thrive and make the most of a boarding school experience. It could be unduly and irreparably harsh towards those who are not intrinsically strong. Having shared some home truths of both systems of education, a parent really ought to make a decision between boarding and day-school education, chiefly based on their child's inclinations, preferences, personality, passions, interests and leanings. By and large, kids who are more keen on extra-curricular activities than academics and have an innate sense of confidence will shine at boarding school. While those who are more academic focused and are not terribly outgoing will perhaps be better served by a day-school education. Whatever the case may be, as a parent, it is your own child and his or her unique traits that should serve as the key factor in your decision-making process. Of course, parents and families in transferable jobs, ones where there might be some marital discord and bad home atmosphere as a result, do send their kids to boarding schools. And those are fair reasons too. At the end of the day though, it is your child and his or her own disposition that should govern your final decision.

'Notebook' actor Zaheer Iqbal feels he was trained well under Salman Khan
He is more like an introvert person and I think these characteristics can be seen in a person's body language very easily. The way they walk, for example, the person who is confident enough they would usually walk upright with their legs more wider, shoulders up face is straight up etc.. here the case was different, I had to make sure that I walk descent and not show more confidence in my body language to portray Kabir". Giving insights into his transformation to slip into the character, Zaheer said, "As a part of my 3 months workshop with Hemant Kher and Nitin sir prior to the film I had to make sure that I change my body language completely according to Kabir's characteristic. I had to change the way I hug the way I walk I sit I had to change entirely. In my voice tone, I had to change as I could not be as loud as I am in real life I could not be as expressive as I am in real life and all of this has become possible because Nitin sir was very much clear about the character exactly what the character would and would not do and that's what made it slightly easier for me to learn and change myself". After assisting on several films, Zaheer Iqbal bagged the role of Kabir in Notebook with the well wishes of Salman Khan. Talking about his mentor Salman Khan Zaheer expressed his feelings, " I learned how to deconstruct myself for the character. Salman Sir has trained me enough for all the possible roles in the future I would do and to last long in the industry". Notebook has been shot in the exquisite valleys of Kashmir bringing the authentic love story of two lovers Firdaus and Kabir, along with a strong support cast with the child artists, who play a vital role on the story. Helmed by Nitin Kakkar, Notebook is presented by Salman Khan Films and is a Cine1 Studios Production. It is produced by Salma Khan, Murad Khetani and Ashwin Varde and is all set to hit the screens on 29th March 2019. ... Dailyhunthttps://www.intensedebate.com/people/sikendergunm
