Creative Pregnant Belly Bump Painting (30 pics)

Creative Pregnant Belly Bump Painting — These Pregnancy Bump Murals are truly creative and  Beautiful. Belly Bump Painter (My Little Sweet-pea) living in Cornwall, England with her husband and two children. As well as painting bumps she paint murals, faces, portraits, canvasses and much more.
 

Pregnancy is one of the most important times in a woman's life, I feel really honored to be able to paint a beautiful picture or message onto a bump. I feel that it allows the mummy to express her feelings towards her unborn baby. 

 

When a woman is pregnant, her body undergoes some incredible changes. It can be really quite a shocking and stressful period, watching yourself expand out and look so much different than normal. But as everyone knows there aren't many more beautiful things in life. Pregnancy should be celebrated. And that's what 'Pregnancy Art' does.

[www.keralites.net] The story of a village boy who turned his problems into opportunities

 

The story of a village boy who turned his problems into opportunities
 

No  one saves us but ourselves. 

No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path – Buddha.

This is the story of Santosh Kaveri- a boy who carved his own road out of a remote village in Karnataka, to one day find himself being rewarded by Ratan Tata for his invention. Read on to know how he turned his problems into opportunities.

Santosh was born in a poor family in Shedbal village. He used to walk 10 kilometers every day just to attend school. In order to support his family, he also had to assist them on the farm.

However, Santosh knew that education was important for his future and he could not drop out of school. So, he attempted to create a balance: he worked on his family's farm in the early morning, starting at 5 AM, and then he would continue the farm work immediately after classes every day. His continued to struggle like this to further his education. His hard work paid off when he managed to obtain admission to pursue his BBA in the city of Belgaum.

However life wasn't all rosy for Santosh after he moved to the city. He spent the first six months of his college life sleeping in college classrooms as he wasn't able to afford the cost of staying in a hostel. The government eventually agreed to cover the expenses of his accommodation, and it was at this point that Santosh's life seemed to gain some normalcy.

During his first year in college, Santosh joined the Deshpande Foundation's LEaders Accelerating Development (LEAD) program. The LEAD program provides funding assistance and guidance for college students to implement their own community improvement projects, thereby allowing them to practice their entrepreneurial, leadership, and innovative thinking.

Santosh started working on his first project that was aimed at improving the life of farmers. He reflected on the struggles that he and his family faced as farmers, and identified a specific problem in carrot cleaning. Before farmers can sell their carrots at the local markets, the carrots must be cleaned to make them appealing to customers. However, carrot cleaning is a lengthy and demanding process; cleaning one quintal of carrots requires usually the labor of 12 people.

Santosh pondered and searched determinedly for a solution to this problem. His epiphany came at last one day after observing a washing machine, and he realized that he could apply the same concept to devise a machine that could quickly, and efficiently, clean carrots.

Being a Business student and having no prior experience with engineering, Santosh struggled to develop a technology that could effectively and affordably clean carrots. He persevered, and after developing 11 unsuccessful machines, he finally devised the Carrot Cleaning Machine.

Santosh's Carrot Cleaning Machine can clean a quintal of carrots in just 15 minutes and requires the labor of only two people. What's more, the Carrot Cleaning Machine uses no electricity, and very little water. The Carrot Cleaning Machine is now helping farmers throughout 10 villages.

Santosh was presented an award by Ratan Tata during the Deshpande Foundation's 2013 Yuva Summit for the entrepreneurial and innovative nature of his project. Since developing the Carrot Cleaning Machine, Santosh has undertaken other entrepreneurial initiatives. One product that he is currently promoting is the Eco Water Coil, a stovetop device that simultaneously boils water for cooking and collects hot water for bathing. "In India", Santosh says, "gas is costly, and no one seems to be concerned about that." Santosh's Eco-Water Coil, though, can perform two functions at once, thereby helping people conserve gas.

In addition to the Carrot Cleaning Machine and the Eco Water Coil, Santosh has recently begun purchasing locally produced products from rural micro-entrepreneurs, such as banana snacks and kadi dress material, and is selling these products to large outlets like Big Bazaar.

 

Thanks Keep Smiling,
 

Manjri Sharma.

[www.keralites.net] 15-Year Old Genius Boy’s Inventions

 

This 15-Year Old Genius Boy's Inventions Are So Good You'll Be Amazed At How He Thinks!

While most kids his age are hankering after that one extra hour of play, he's up all night in his lab experimenting and innovating! His hard work and passion have helped him win over 15 awards for various inventions! Let's meet the young genius and find out what makes him tick.

 

"I do not want to live with problems, I want to solve them," says M.Tenith Adithyaa, a 15 year-old student who already has 17 inventions under his name that have bagged him many awards and two Guinness World Record attempts.

An innovator, a professional coin collector, a software developer, a teacher, a bird tamer and a gamer, Adithyaa has a lot of achievements in his kitty and he makes sure he learns something new every day.

When he was in 4th standard, he started to study Computer Applications. By now he has mastered 35 Computer Applications and 6 Languages!
 

An eleventh grader, Adithyaa spends most of his time in his lab to come up with various solutions and innovations that could help society at large. Unlike a regular kid of his age group, who would be busy finishing up his homework on time so he could get one extra hour of play time, Adithyaa is up till 3 am experimenting in his lab.

"I am an outstanding student of the class as I am always standing out. 

I sleep so late that I am unable to reach classes on time and as a result 

I have to stand outside!" he laughs.

This has become a regular story of his life and small setbacks don't affect his desire to achieve bigger success. Once, while experimenting in his lab, during a chemical experiment, he had inhaled dangerous fumes, after which he had to be hospitalized.

While lying on the hospital bed, he told his parents, 'Science needs sacrifice', which frightened his parents so much that they never allowed him to work with chemicals thereafter. But, truly dedicated to his passion for inventions, he continued his research for other ideas and came up with some very interesting inventions.

Adjustable Electricity Extension Board

"When I work on various experiments I need a lot of plug points to power my devices, 

which would mean a lot of wires and a big mess. I used to get very irritated with this so

 I thought to solve the issue," he says.

Adithyaa needed many electricity plug points to run various devices at the same time while experimenting. Using many extension cords/power strips was cumbersome, hence he developed an adjustable electricity extension board,  in which one can put any type of electric plugs wherever space is available. The device is effective up to a distance of 3 meters, and the model is ready for commercialization.

Banana Leaf Preservation Technology

"We use many plastic plates and create a lot of waste, so I came up with an idea to make cups and plates with banana leaves," Adithyaa says.

The technology preserves banana leaves for a year without use of any chemicals. It also increases their durability. Preserved leaves can resist extreme temperatures and hold more weight than the original ones.

"Normally banana leaves dry up in three days because the cell wall is soft. 

The process that I use hardens the cell walls, preventing the leaves from drying

 for about a year," he says.

The manufacturing cost of these plates and cups is very low and they can also be used as manure if disposed in the right way. The Ministry of Environment and Forests, GOI has approved this project and Adithyaa has received various awards for the same.

Basking in the glory

For his contributions at such a young age, Adithyaa has received global recognition including 2 world record attempts, 2 National Awards, 7 Titled Awards, 5 State Awards and many District Awards. He is also a winner of the IGNITE Awards conducted by National Innovation Foundation-India.

In addition to this, Adithyaa has been selected for the inaugural "Innovator in Residence" program of the President office launched by the Honorable President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee on his birthday on December 11, 2013. He is currently staying at Rashtrapati Bhavan from July 1 to July 20, 2014 and is being mentored by the office of the President House!

The future

The young achiever wants to become an aerospace engineer and join ISRO.

"I am inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci's life.  

After reading about him I decided that I will not be a scientist only but will become an inventor 

who makes people's lives better. I want to become an aeronautical engineer and 

a space scientist like Dr. Abdul Kalam and like Stephen Hawking," he says.

Well, we hope he achieves all his dreams – looks like they will be good for India too!

 

Thanks Keep Smiling,
 

Manjri Sharma.
