Oral rehydration salts (ORS) are a mixture of electrolytes (salts) and carbohydrates (in the form of sugar) dissolved in water. o They are used to replace salts and water that the body loses when you have dehydration caused by gastroenteritis diarrhoea or vomiting. o The electrolytes are potassium and sodium. These components maximize fluid absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. o The gastrointestinal tract relies on sodium-glucose cotransporters (SGLTs) which are carrier proteins in the intestinal cells. o Cotransporters help move substances across membranes. o Specifically SGLTs pair together sodium and glucose transport in the small intestine. This allows glucose to increase the absorption of fluids. o Additionally sodium needs glucose to be properly absorbed. Therefore ORS contains both glucose and sodium. Since 1975 the World Health Organization and UNICEF have used ORS to treat dehydration due to diarrhea. o Its commonly used in countries with limited access to clean water or other hydration options junior science refresher magazine subscription

The Election Commission takes help of a significant number of polling officials as well as armed forces to ensure smooth peaceful and impartial polls. o Frequent elections leads to a lockin of CAPF and state police forces for prolonged periods of time. Thus it takes away a portion of such armed police force which could otherwise be better deployed for other internal security purposes. Others o Frequent elections lead to disruption of normal public life. Holding of political rallies disrupts road traffic and also leads to noise pollution.  If simultaneous elections are held this period of disruption would be limited. o Frequent elections also perpetuate caste religion and communal issues across the country. o It also promotes competitive populism. Given the desperation of parties to win elections there is always a tendency to squander resources on shortterm unproductive freebies at the cost of infrastructure quality education and healthcare. o A Parliamentary Standing Committee believes that simultaneous elections will reduce voters apathy of frequent elections and will enthuse general population and voters in particular which will ultimately enhance voters participation in the electoral process.

Any disruption in supply or price hike could deplete our countrys foreign reserves. The embargo by USA has also restricted India from buying oil from Iran.  Effect on Indias Diaspora in Iran and the middle east In case of a fullyfledged war the safety and security of vast Diaspora in the Gulf can be at stake.  Remittance More than 50% of total remittance received by India last year came from the gulf region. Disturbance in the region would lead to decline in such remittances.  Trade Indias trade is heavily reliant on the Strait of Hormuz and its blockade would adversely affect trade. Also status of Chabahar Port may also come in question.  Security The US has ordered resumption of military training to Pakistan which it had suspended in 2018 after accusing it of not doing enough to counter terrorist groups as part of its wider West Asia strategy.

E.g. By including the costs and benefits of conserving the ecosystem services provided by wetlands in controlling floods compared to building flood defences. o Capturing value involves the introduction of mechanisms that incorporate the values of ecosystems into decisionmaking through incentives and price signals.

Those criminals are nowhere near reaching a desirable end nor do they have capacity to be virtuous and hence death penalty is justifiable for the greater utility of the society. Arguments against death penalty  The death penalty does not serve the penological goal of deterrence any more than life imprisonment. Further life imprisonment under Indian law means imprisonment for the whole of life subject to just remissions which in many states in cases of serious crimes are granted only after many years of imprisonment which range from 3060 years.  Retribution has an important role to play in punishment. However it cannot be reduced to vengeance. The notion of an eye for an eye tooth for a tooth has no place in our constitutionally mediated criminal justice system. Capital punishment fails to achieve any constitutionally valid penological goals. o In focusing on death penalty as the ultimate measure of justice to victims the restorative and rehabilitative aspects of justice are lost sight of Mahindra current affairs magazine buy.

What is Urban Lake?  According to the National Lake Conservation Plan (NLCP) a water body having a minimum depth of three meters spread over more than 10 hectares and having no or very little aquatic vegetation is considered as a lake. o Urban lakes are those lakes which are located entirely within city limits (census town) and directly surrounded by urban developments with some recreational facilities limited to the shoreline area (parks playgrounds). Importance of Urban Lakes Historically cities were built along waterways or lakes which influence the development of urban areas. They play a major role in providing environmental social and economic services.  They can ease the impact of floods and droughts by the means of storage.  They also help in replenishing groundwater level as they are essential receptors for groundwater recharge positively influencing water quality of downstream watercourses and preserving the biodiversity and habitat of the surrounding area.  Lakes are cooling agents and are essential to the urban microclimate.  They provide prime opportunities for recreation tourism and domestic purposes.  They constitute a primary source of water supply in many places competition success review buy.

While the boys in the band are finding it hilarious, the crowd are not. Joe is starting to get tipsy. The next song Joe’s guitar starts making funny noises, and the sound starts cutting out. Eventually Joe’s guitar disappears. He randomly stomps on some pedals and realizes that there is no power. He was sure those 9 volt batteries were still good. Joe unplugs his guitar lead from the pedal board and plugs it straight into his amp. Joe is getting angry, just like the crowd and the bar manager. Two songs from the end, the stage goes black. All the amps turn off and all that can be heard is the drummer pounding away. After a few seconds all of the Nymphos are standing around, looking stupid wondering what is going on. About 30 seconds later, the power returns. The band chats quickly and decides to start the song again. This time they get through it all. They play there last song the few remaining patrons, pack up, pick up their cheque and leave the bar, never to return. Could it get any worse for Joe and his band, the Psycho Nymphos? I doubt it. But they could have survived all of these problems by being prepared. It may seem insurmountable, but I have played a gig where nearly all of this happened in one night, and we survived. It’s all preparation. This is what you need to do to survive this nightmare. ALWAYS STAY IN CONTACT There is no excuse to be late to a gig. With today’s modern communications technology, everyone has the potential to be contactable all of the time. Even if Joe got the time wrong, a simple phone call would have solved all the problems. However, it is always a great idea for a band to meet at a central location at some point before a show, and travel together “convoy” style if possible. This is a sure fire way to make sure everyone arrives on time, doesn’t get lost, or can get assistance if something does go wrong. The spill over effect of this is that when you arrive on time, you can take your time and set up properly, sound check, as well as check your equipment for problems and in general, relax before the show starts.

Imagine, then, the true cosmic significance of a ready smile or, even more deliciously, a tender kiss. After all, even the robustly effusive sun can’t do those things, even given five billion years to make the attempt. We conclude by advising you to recall, as the welter of negative news that is the daily lot of all of us affronts your conning brow, what your grandmother often advised: count your blessings. As a final service to those who have been gracious enough to accompany us on our wanderings about eternity and immediacy, we herewith present a list of blessings to count as we attempt to make our stay on the earth consonant with the eons Oh, Solo Mio is likely to shine out in a temperate manner. They are taken from the daringly innovative piece of popular philosophizing by Charles Blaise, called Life Itself As A Modern Religion. If you enjoy this brief sampler, you might like to know that the entire book is a free read at  We consider it a surprisingly informed and sanely serious approach to our condition, as we hope to be a winningly informed and sanely funny rendition of it. TEN BLESSINGS* 1. Bless life. It is Creation’s highest gift and the supreme natural form of matter and energy. 2. Bless Creation. It has given us life, in all its forms and with all its possibilities. 3. Bless our bodies, Creation’s handiwork. They are the temples of our lives and the basic source of all our joy. 4. Bless our brains. They enable consciousness and all of our thoughts, talents, and feelings. They let us experience self-awareness and sensations, make right decisions, contribute achievements, and enjoy life, while they coordinate our physical movements and conduct the multitudinous involuntary processes that sustain our lives. 5. Bless our spirits. They constitute our communicative feelings and thoughts and help us have good relationships with ourselves, others, other animals, plants, our inanimate environment, and all of Creation. 6. Bless our love makers, by which I mean our genitals. They let us enjoy sex life, renewing our union in Creation’s most physical way, helping us relax, and, most vital of all, letting us create new life. 7. Bless the other animals and the plants. They’re our animate partners in Paradise. 8. Bless the land, air, water, and all other things. They’re our inanimate partners. 9. Bless our peacekeepers. They help preserve life and our natural Paradise. 10. Bless our natural Paradise. It’s our basic home in the universe and the planet on which Creation has evolved us. *© 2006 Charles Blaise.

After all, our unrealistic and yet, we suspect, achievable goal is more than just hanging on for the essentially eternal ride; it’s enjoying the wondrous flight through space and time. So we suggest that, besides obsessing about the well-barnacled threats that have accreted in our minds and burden our otherwise eager capacity for joyful employment and lassitude, we absolutely insist on reserving ample time to contemplate the invitations to delight, large or small, that our everyday lives might provide during the razor-thin mark on the tape measure of time that represents our individual stays on the still acceptably fulgent earth. For example, if you have something to do today that you know would be a remarkable or, at least, modestly praiseworthy achievement, we suggest you think about getting it done. If you love somebody, we recommend you consider how fortunate you are, particularly if you’re relatively confident that the recipient of your invocations to mutual affection also loves you. And so we go, from our grandest considerations right on down to even the most inconsequential massages of our pleasure principle, say, for example, checkers. If you somehow have time to play the game, we suggest you concentrate on your next deft moves. You’ll have a jolly time and, as you know, you as an individual gamester don’t have anywhere near five billion more years to make your triumphant jumps. We conclude by saying that, rather than being exclusively concerned about whatever we’re to do when the sun flares out, we might more wisely consider occupying ourselves with the view through the other end of the telescope, that is, with the smaller delights and damnations that make up our daily lives. Actually, when you consider how remote or beyond our influence most of the enormities we’re supposed to be properly troubled by are, you realize, with enormous relief, that the little things which effervesce in our daily lives are really, as bubbles to the tang of champagne, the biggest things  mahendra master in current affairs pdf buy.
