[www.keralites.net] Fwd: The Art Of Clicking Pics At Perfect Timing

 

 

The Art Of Clicking Pics At Perfect Timing

The art of photography can be learned but capturing some moments is just about good timing. These scenes would be fairly ordinary if they weren't snapped at the perfect moment, transforming them into hilarious or profound sights we can all enjoy. Revel in the magic of good timing with this set of extraordinary photos...

 

It's a bird, It's a plane...

 

 

Made you look.

 

 

The more you look at it, the creepier it gets.

 

 

And they followed the stars home.

 

 

To infinity and beyond.

 

 

She took the words right out of my mouth.

 

 

Hmm, breakfast.

 

 

Rainbows just follow me wherever I go.

 

 

I think Cosette was wrong. There is a ship on a cloud, not a castle.

 

 

I've always wondered what I would look with a beard, she pondered.

 

 

Bird's eye view.

 

 

When life imitates art.

 

 

Holy Catman.

 

 

Not the pot of gold most people expect.

 

 

Bubble dog.

 

 

The sun really can change your skin.

 

 

And this is what happens when you don't floss.

 

 

When you get caught between the moon and New York City.

 

 

Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream.

 

 

In Dubai even the moon comes served on a silver (gold) platter.

 

 

I'm too young to lose my teeth.

 

 

The perfect pair.

 

 

And for my next trick I will use fire.

 

 

My summer tights.

 

 

We call him Dear.

[www.keralites.net] Fwd: The 5 Jobs Robots Will Take First!

 

The 5 Jobs Robots Will Take First!

 

Shelly Palmer

CEO at The Palmer Group

Oxford University researchers have estimated that 47 percent of U.S. jobs could be automated within the next two decades. But which ones will robots take first?

First, we should define "robots" (for this article only) as technologies, such as machine learning algorithms running on purpose-built computer platforms, that have been trained to perform tasks that currently require humans to perform. With this in mind, let's think about what you'll do after white-collar work. Oh, and I do have a solution for the short term that will make you the last to lose your job to a robot, but I'm saving it for the end of the article.
1 – Middle Management

If your main job function is taking a number from one box in Excel and putting it in another box in Excel and writing a narrative about how the number got from place to place, robots are knocking at your door. Any job where your "special and unique" knowledge of the industry is applied to divine a causal relationship between numbers in a matrix is going to be replaced first. Be ready.
2 – Commodity Salespeople (Ad Sales, Supplies, etc.)

Unless you sell dreams or magic or negotiate using special perks, bribes or other valuable add-ons that have nothing to do with specifications, price and availability, start thinking about your next gig. Machines can take so much cost out of any sales process (request for proposal, quotation, order and fulfillment system), it is the fiduciary responsibility of your CEO and the board to hire robots. You're fighting gravity … get out!
3 – Report Writers, Journalists, Authors Announcers

Writing is tough. But not report writing. Machines can be taught to read data, pattern match images or video, or analyze almost any kind of research materials and create a very readable (or announceable) writing. Text-to-speech systems are evolving so quickly and sound so realistic, I expect both play-by-play and color commentators to be put out of work relatively soon – to say nothing about the numbered days of sports or financial writers. You know that great American novel you've been planning to write? Start now, before the machines take a creative writing class.
4 – Accountants Bookkeepers

Data processing probably created more jobs than it eliminated, but machine learning–based accountants and bookkeepers will be so much better than their human counterparts, you're going to want to use the machines. Robo-accounting is in its infancy, but it's awesome at dealing with accounts payable and receivable, inventory control, auditing and several other accounting functions that humans used to be needed to do. Big Four auditing is in for a big shake-up, very soon.
5 – Doctors

This may be one of the only guaranteed positive outcomes of robots' taking human jobs. The current world population of 7.3 billion is expected to reach 8.5 billion by 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050 and 11.2 billion in 2100, according to a new UN DESA (United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs) report. In practice, if everyone who ever wanted to be a doctor became one, we still would not have enough doctors.

The good news is that robots make amazing doctors, diagnosticians and surgeons. According to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, IBM's Watson is teaming up with a dozen US hospitals to offer advice on the best treatments for a range of cancer, and also helping to spot early-stage skin cancers. And ultra-precise robo-surgeons are currently used for everything from knee replacement surgery to vision correction. This trend is continuing at an incredible pace. I'm not sure how robodoc bedside manner will be, but you could program a "Be warm and fuzzy" algorithm and the robodoc would act warm and fuzzy. (Maybe I can get someone to program my human doctors with a warm and fuzzy algorithm?)
But Very Few Jobs Are Safe

During the Obama administration, a report of the president was published (it is no longer available at whitehouse.gov, but here's the original link) that included a very dire prediction: "There is an 83% chance that workers who earn $20 an hour or less could have their jobs replaced by robots in the next five years. Those in the $40 an hour pay range face a 31% chance of having their jobs taken over by the machines." Clearly, the robots are coming.
What to Do About It

In What Will You Do After White-Collar Work?, I propose, "First, technological progress is neither good nor bad; it just is. There's no point in worrying about it, and there is certainly no point trying to add some narrative about the "good ol' days." It won't help anyone. The good news is that we know what's coming. All we have to do is adapt.

Adapting to this change is going to require us to understand how man-machine partnerships are going to evolve. This is tricky, but not impossible. We know that machine learning is going to be used to automate many, if not most, low-level cognitive tasks. Our goal is to use our high-level cognitive ability to anticipate what parts of our work will be fully automated and what parts of our work will be so hard for machines to do that man-machine partnership is the most practical approach.

With that strategy, we can work on adapting our skills to become better than our peers at leveraging man-machine partnerships. We've always been tool-users; now we will become tool-partners."

Becoming a great man-machine partner team will not save every job, but it is a clear pathway to prolonging your current career while you figure out what your job must evolve into in order to continue to transfer the value of your personal intellectual property into wealth.

[www.keralites.net] Fwd: Depresion in Ayurveda!

 

 

Depression Treatment in Ayurveda!

Depression Anxiety and Ayurveda by

 

Dr. Sajimon George BAMS. AAA. ATMS

 

 

    Depression is an illness affecting a vast number of people in the globe with an estimated 15% of people experiencing severe, chronic depression at some point in their lives.

    The number of people dealing with depression is doubling every 10 years. While many medications have been developed to deal with this issue and they can be necessary in severe cases, generally most individuals will receive the same type of treatment and the root cause may go unchecked.

    Depression and anxiety have become an inseparable part of modern man's life. Depression is usually the result of old unresolved emotional problems that have not been addressed, often from childhood.

    SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION

    Excessive fatigue and muscle weakness
    Palpitations and headaches
    Sweating and tremors
    Shortness of breath
    Indigestion and stomach upsets
    Interrupted sleep and seeing nightmares

    DEPRESSION: AN AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE

    Our level of consciousness is considered to have different sheaths. Ours self resides in our heart which is the seat for the blissful sheath or Aanandamaya kosha.

    Another kosha of mind other than the heart is the manomaya kosha. When we are hurt or shocked or a sorrowful incident occurs, we use our mind at that moment to construct a protective barrier around ourselves. In some cases this barrier causes one to lose access to the essential self and the result is depression.
    Free flow of Prana allows the doshas (bodily humors) to balance, the seven dhatus (tissues) to develop, and the gross channels (srothas) of circulation, like blood and lymph, to move. When exposed to etiological factors, the flow of energy or prana shakthi is also restricted and the person gradually loses interest in life.

    Depression is a kapha predominant imbalance. Vatha and Pitha may also go out of balance by the exposure to its etiological factors. Vatha is vitiated by experiences that induce fear, terror, anxiety, irregular eating habit, pattern of sleep and all forms of excessive movement.

    Pitha dosha is associated with metabolism of all things: food, emotions, and experiences. When emotional experiences cannot be digested they accumulate in the body and cause dosha disturbances. Alcohol, verbal abuse, excessive spices and over ambition will create Pitha depression which manifests as anger and violence.

    It is worth noting that people suffering from a Pitha depression may commit suicide or engage in self destructive habits.
    Initially the brain's powerful changes in electrochemistry cause Vatha imbalance, this triggers a loss of enzymatic activities in the metabolism or Pitha imbalance. Kapha responds by trying to provide a protective sheath to slow everything down. This shut down mechanism, brings about heaviness, darkness, and stagnation.

    This condition is interpreted as the negative message of hopelessness and depression.

    AYURVEDA LINE OF TREATMENT

    Treatment involves thorough understanding of the patients unique constitution (Prakruti) and state of imbalance or vikruti of doshas. Ayurveda takes both the physical and mental plane into consideration while designing the treatment protocol. This system utilizes herbs and treatment procedures to correct the imbalances created in the mental plane of doshas.

    Gradually the person moves towards his natural prakriti (doshas in balanced state) and the mansikaroga (mental disorders) vanishes. Treatment depends on the willingness of the patient. He or she should follow the guidelines of the physician and make the necessary lifestyle changes.

    DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY TREATMENT PROCEDURES WITH AYURVEDA

    Abhyanga Oil Massage Massage with suitable oils is good in relieving depression.

    Njavara Kizhi Heating procedure by using cooked njavara rice in milky decoction (Ksheera kashaya) of root of Bala or Sida rhombifolia.

    Nasya Nasal administration of suitable medicated oils. This procedure is believed to release drugs through blood brain barrier.

    Shirodhara Pouring of herbal oil on the forehead to promote relaxation.
    Herbal Fumigation Controlled inhalation of fumes of herbs such as Guggulu, Jatamansi, Vacha (Acorus Calamus) etc are useful for this condition.

    HERBS FOR DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY

    1. Ashwagandha or Withania Somnifera can very effectively solve problems like manic depression, anxiety disorders, mood phobias etc.

    2. Brahmi or Bacopa Monnieri is a nervine tonic that enhances mental ability. It calms and soothes the mind.

    3. Jatamansi or Nardostachys Jatamnsi eliminates depressive and negative thoughts. It channelizes the mind towards positivism and calms the mind.

    4. Guggulu or Commiphora Mukul contains a special mind calming chemical called guggulsterones. This chemical can effectively relieve depression.

    5. Turmeric or Curcuma Longa can treat depression caused from seasonal changes.

    DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY DIET

    The person must not eat to full capacity. Hot, spicy and pungent tastes must be avoided as these will aggravate the senses further. Fluids and fresh vegetables (in salads) must become an important part of every meal. Tea and coffee may be taken occasionally to stimulate the brain.

    Most people with depression lose their appetite and desire to eat. For such people, food must not be forced, or it could lead to vomiting. When such a disinterest in food occurs, fruits can be consumed. A diet rich in fruits is beneficial in the treatment of depression.

    An ideal diet which will assist in maintaining physical and mental health is suggested.

    DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY MENTAL QUALITIES

    Satwa, Rajasa and Thamasa are the three mental qualities.
    Satwika mental quality activates a persons cleanliness, intellect, happiness, positive thoughts and confidence.

    Rajasa quality induces dynamism, talkativeness, ego, anger etc .
    Thamasa quality activates lack of intelligence, fear, excessive sleep and lack of motivation etc.

    Harmonic equilibrium of these three mental qualities results in mental health. For a patient of depression achieving and sustaining equilibrium of these three qualities of mind is inevitable.

    Food is divided in to Satwika, Rajasa and Thamasa activating types. Satwika ahara should be strictly followed as per the physician's suggestion. This includes vegetables, fruits, non spicy fresh foods.

    YOGA AND EXERCISES FOR DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY

    Engage in breathing, yoga and physical exercises to strengthen the mind and body. This keeps the channels of the body clean and allows proper flow of mental energy and nutrients.

    Praanayama and yoga must become an important part of a person's daily routine. This helps to concentrate the mind on positive thoughts and a recurrence of depression can be prevented.

    Yogic asanas that are beneficial to people with depression are bhujangasana, halasana, paschimottasana, sarvangasana, shalabhasana, shavasana and vakrasana.

    Pranayamas yoga to be done only as per doctors advice.

    DOS AND DON'TS FOR DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY

    DO'S
    1.Listen to soft music
    2.Exercise regularly and take brisk walks to fight depression
    3.Expose yourself to bright sunlight
    4.Meditate
    5.Avoid alcohol, sweets and caffeine

    DON'TS
    1.Don't indulge in negative thinking
    2.Avoid consuming stimulant or processed food
    3.Refrain from consuming excessive calories

[www.keralites.net] Fwd: We Bet You Don't Know How Your Favorite Foods Are Grown!

 

We've all been exposed to apples and oranges growing on trees, but oddly enough, most of the produce we eat grow in ways we might never have expected. Have you ever wondered how coffee and cocoa are grown, or what the flowers of peanuts and kiwis look like? If so, we're definitely about to satisfy your curiosity with this collection of 15 foods that grow in unexpected ways, complete with some interesting facts about each one.

You will find Brussels sprouts growing like buds on the stalks of the plant species known as Brassica oleracea. They are found attached to it in interesting helical patterns, and just like cabbage and broccoli, these vegetables have no protective skin or shell, but are fully edible as they appear. They are hand picked from the stalks, each of which can produce up to 1.4 kg (3.1 lb) of sprouts.
