If they want to update the syllabus and bring in something new not taught till today in schools, they https://www.steady-ind.com/product/weld-studs/it-stud-with-internal-thread/stud-with-internal-thread.html should have brought in discrimination in the name of caste and the kind of society we have. Make things hard for those who have migrated into a state and keep them away from taking a share in the state’s cake. If you bring the single religion, single culture then you are demolishing the concept of India. But a government/ party that has been voted as the majority party has no right to re-write India’s history. India has a collectivist and secular image, these activities must be read as a dangerous part.Now newspapers are writing as to what happened in Rajasthan and two months back there was a controversy as to who was the architect of Modern India.VOICES SPEAK OUT AGAINST POLITICISATION OF EDUCATIONProfessor G. Have things changed and are any better today Events that are unfolding around us, both at the Centre and the various states, do not give us much encouragement to think positively in this realm.In the new education policy, the central government wants to Sanskritise education. Sharma and Bipan Chandra.B. For instance, Baba Saheb Ambedkar.
If we want India to exist in a pluralist manner we have to oppose what is happening. We should concentrate on improving the lot of these pupils rather than indulge in politicising education in so many different ways. Each party seems to have its own vested agenda of some sort.Soon after the Emergency when the Janata Party came to power with a myriad of political components (the BJP was yet to be born and was in its erstwhile avatar of the Jana Sangh), one of the first things it did was to ban history text books brought out by the then respectable NCERT.India exists because of Muslims, Hindus, Jains and Christians. The only distinction was the different angles in which the distortion is taking place.P. Instead of national integration, they are talking about cultural integration. The RSS is distorting history, a method I condemn. It’s not a progressive step, but a regressive one. It is essential that the students are left to decide what opinion to accept and what not to and teachers should ensure that the students are given that freedom. We must oppose this act and encourage freedom for students. Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and many other states have toyed with two- and three-language formulas and all these policies have made life difficult for the students. Rajasthan wants to do away with the Nehru legacy. While all the developed and developing countries of the world constantly endeavour to modernise and update their educational structures, we in India seem to have other ideas. For Children in Government schools in particular, it is just consumption of information, without even having to know who is right or who is wrong as it is grades at the end of the course that matters. Before we proceed any further it may be quite appropriate to debate whether it is education that we are talking about or mere literacy of the pedestrian kind.
This seems to be the mindset of present day BJP as well. By removing Nehru’s "Tryst with Destiny", the state is hell bent not only in playing with historical events but is blind to the fact that it is indeed playing with the destiny of its own students!

In Dehradun, an upbeat Mr Harish Rawat said his government does not want to fight with the "mighty, powerful and broad-chested" Centre, but asked it to work in a spirit of cooperative federalism." Union minister Kiren Rijiju said that blaming the Centre for something which was a creation of the Congress is "unfortunate". I have nothing to comment on it but just to blame the Central government for a particular situation which has been created by Congress party, that is unfortunate. PM Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah will be well advised to now tender an unconditional apology to the nation and also to people of Uttarakhand for trampling upon democracy, murdering constitution norms and subjugating the will of people to their blind quest to dislodge Congress governments... Terming the court’s verdict as a victory of people of Uttarakhand, democracy and constitutional norms, Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said the PM and Mr Shah should learn a lesson from this "decisive and resounding verdict". The Left parties also lambasted the Modi government, saying the high court verdict was a "slap to the subverters" of the Constitution. The Congress, whose chief minister Harish Rawat was ousted due to the President’s Rule, demanded that the Prime Minister and BJP president Amit Shah should tender an unconditional apology to the nation. It is the Congress party’s creation, not ours (BJP)," he said." Mr Gandhi tweeted: "Modiji while you attack the Constitution, destroy institutions and undermine.Putting up a brave front, the BJP claimed the Rawat government is in minority and that this will be proved on April 29.With the Uttarakhand high court on Thursday quashing the imposition of President’ Rule in the state, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi attacked the BJP-led Central government, saying the Modi gover With the Uttarakhand high court on Thursday quashing the imposition of President’ Rule in the state, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi attacked the BJP-led Central government, saying the Modi government’s "blatant power grab" failed and "democracy wins".

More water is needed in hot windy conditions and less in cooler conditions," he said. In a letter written to BCCI president Shashank Manohar, he stated that a standard cricket field requires a minimum of 80,000 to 1,00,000 litres of water per application. Successive low rainfall has resulted in falling ground water levels, which has impacted 90 lakh farmers in the state," he said."Thus in the 19 matches to be played in Maharashtra more than 70 lakh litres of water will be used to maintain the cricket grounds.Mr Gupta said Mr Manohar cannot turn a blind eye to the grim drought situation in the state and the sufferings of the farmers. This is the time to show sympathy to our ‘annadatta’ (farmer). The BJP leader further said that Maharashtra, the state that the BCCI president hails from, is facing one of its worst droughts in the last century. I hope you will support and sympathise with our farmers and shift the venue of IPL matches to other states," he said. Nearly 90 lakh farmers in Maharashtra have been impacted by the drought," Mr Gupta said. In Maharashtra, successive years of low rainfall have resulted in falling groundwater levels and early drying of natural streams. There are 19 IPL matches that are planned to be played at Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur between April 9 and May 29 and the final match of the tournament is to be held at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on May 29.In the backdrop of drought in the state, Mumbai BJP secretary Vivekananda Gupta has demanded that Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket matches scheduled to be played in Maharashtra should be shifted ou In the backdrop of drought in the state, Mumbai BJP secretary Vivekananda Gupta has demanded that Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket matches scheduled to be played in Maharashtra should be shifted out of the state."Approximately two to three such applications are required per week that comes to 1,60,000 to 3,00,000 litres of water per week to maintain turf growth and repair damaged areas
Many in the Republican establishment believed he would eventually self-destruct or that Americans would lose patience with his bombast, his free-wheeling insults and lack of firm policies to back up his promises to "Make America Great Again.Mr Trump won a majority of the states holding nominating contests on Super Tuesday, accelerating his march to the Republican nomination. Trump was not https://www.steady-ind.com/product/blind-rivet/other-type-series/aluminumsteel-grooved-type.html identified as a potential threat, not in the summer, nor in the fall of 2015, even as he eclipsed Bush, according to multiple interviews during that period with a member of the group’s leadership team.Scenes like the one at Deer Valley would be repeated in rarified enclaves of the party elite around the country again and again in the coming months. Walker left the race just two months after officially entering it. Mr Cruz has won just three of more than a dozen contests so far. The fans who would drive Mr Trump’s success were not. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul won the poll. No one mentioned Donald Trump, even though he had been signaling for months that he planned to run.Republican donors, strategists and campaign operatives admitted they had misjudged the mood of voters who have thrown their support behind Trump after he promised to build a wall on the Mexican border, temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States and block Syrian refugees because they might be militants. They met for lunch at a billionaire hedge fund manager’s estate near a body of water nicknamed "Goldman pond" for the concentration of financiers’ houses around it.Early in his run, Mr Trump was a source of puzzlement for rich Republicans, such as those who gathered one Sunday in early August in the Hamptons, New York’s gilded summer retreat destination, to discuss the 2016 race.Many of the conversations had one thing in common: a stubborn refusal to take Mr Trump seriously, even as fans packed sports stadiums to see him in the summer months, as he dominated media coverage of the election, and as polls showed him winning wide support among young and old, men and women."His speech was well-received, but he didn’t do that well in the straw poll," said Matt Schlapp, the chairman of the American Conservative Union, which organises CPAC each year.They had just heard from six presidential hopefuls.Among the guests were former defence department officials, the chief executive of a big real estate firm, a prominent private equity partner and conservative academics, according to one of the guests, who spoke on condition of anonymity.Mr Trump’s spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, declined to comment for this story. The source, like many other guests, backed former Florida governor Jeb Bush. Tom Duncan, the CEO of tool-maker Positec Tool Corp, chatted with a few attendees about a fantasy ticket to secure the White House in November 2016: Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, with Senator Marco Rubio of Florida as his running mate. Paul dropped out after the first nominating contest in February. The annual convention is a must-stop for any Republican White House contender. "I don’t think he’s hurting us," the official, who did not want to be identified, said in an interview last fall."They were wrong. Trump would be a footnote in the race by January or February 2016, he predicted. The story of Mr Trump’s rise has played out day after day on television and on social media, but the conversations behind closed doors among members of the Republican elite during this period have been less well documented.One evening last June, some of the Republican Party’s wealthiest donors gathered for a cocktail party at an exclusive resort in Deer Valley, Utah, during a three-day retreat hosted by former Massachus One evening last June, some of the Republican Party’s wealthiest donors gathered for a cocktail party at an exclusive resort in Deer Valley, Utah, during a three-day retreat hosted by former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.CPAC’s attendees were mostly conservative political activists already engaged in the electoral process. Four days later, the New York property magnate declared his candidacy and within weeks had shot to the top of the polls, eclipsing all of his Republican rivals. The candidates favored at CPAC have languished.Mr Trump’s rise seemed to take place entirely outside the structures of the normal nomination process within the Republican party.For example, many attending the Conservative Political Action Conference, a gathering of grassroots activists, in February 2015, were excited by presidential hopefuls Wisconsin governor Walker and Texas Senator Ted Cruz.In his speech, Mr Trump tried out a now familiar pledge: build a giant southern wall to stop illegal immigrants, a vow that would later ignite his insurgent campaign and propel him well ahead of the main pack of Republican presidential hopefuls.Right to Rise, the outside spending group backing Mr Bush, built up a massive war chest of more than $100 million to attack opponents who could thwart his bid for the nomination.Mr Duncan, for his part, liked Ohio governor John Kasich, but also had his eye on former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina
The advanced LIGO detectors became fully operational for the first time https://www.steady-ind.com/product/blind-rivet/hem-fix-type-series/all-steel-hem-firm-csk-head-type-blind-rivets.html in September 2015. LIGO is the most advanced detectors ever built for sensing tiny vibrations in the universe. In short, it cannot see or detect, but can only ‘feel’ it. Though it's called an observatory, LIGO is unlike any other observatory on Earth.Gravitational Waves are ripples in the curvature of space-time which propagate as waves, travelling outward from the source.2 m in diameter, arranged in the shape of an "L", and protected by a 10-foot wide, 12-foot tall concrete enclosure that protects the vacuum tubes from the outside world.
This was first predicted by Albert Einstein almost a century ago.Construction began in 1999, and observations were taken from 2001 to 2007. The instrument (detector) is designed to spot tiny vibrations from passing gravitational waves, and is a project known as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, or LIGO.5 mi.In a landmark discovery for physics and astronomy, international scientists have finally announced that they have glimpsed the first direct evidence of gravitational waves, or ripples in space-time. LIGO is truly a physics experiment on the scale and complexity of some of the world's giant particle accelerators and nuclear physics laboratories. LIGO is the most advanced detectors ever built for sensing tiny vibrations in the universe. The two US-based underground detectors are known as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, or LIGO for short. Comprised of two enormous laser interferometers located thousands of kilometers apart, LIGO exploits the physical properties of light and of space itself to detect and understand the origins of gravitational waves. The only way to definitively detect a gravitational wave is by operating in unison with a distant twin so that local vibrations are not mistaken for signals from gravitational waves.The gravitational waves were detected on September 14, 2015 at 5:51 a. Though its mission is to detect gravitational waves from some of the most violent and energetic processes in the Universe, the data it will collect will have far-reaching effects on many areas of physics including gravitation, relativity, astrophysics, cosmology, particle physics, and nuclear physicsLIGO is blind: Unlike optical or radio telescopes, LIGO cannot see electromagnetic radiation, for example visible light, radio waves, microwaves, etc.
By contrast, gravitational waves cannot exist in the Newtonian theory of gravitation, which postulates that physical interactions propagate at infinite speed. The LIGO Observatories are funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), and were conceived, built, and are operated by Caltech and MIT. The existence of gravitational waves is a possible consequence of the Lorentz invariance of general relativity since it brings the concept of a limiting speed of propagation of the physical interactions with it.Gravitational waves carry information about their dramatic origins and about the nature of gravity that cannot otherwise be obtained. There are some very good reasons for this, which you can learn about in LIGO’s Dual Detectors.LIGO cannot work alone: While an astronomical observatory can function and collect data just fine on its own (some don’t by choice), gravitational wave observatories like LIGO cannot operate solo.So what is the LIGO LIGO, or Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, is the world's largest gravitational wave observatory and a cutting edge physics experiment. One is located in Hanford, Washington; the other 1,800 miles (3,000 kilometers) away in Livingston, Louisiana.3 billion years ago.First of all, let’s talk about Gravitational Waves. This was when it was picked up by sophisticated instruments back at earth and the phenomenon was observed by two US-based underground detectors. end-of. Eastern Daylight Time (09:51 UTC) by both of the twin Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors, located in Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington, USA. Instead, LIGO’s eyes on the sky are more like ears. LIGO is deaf: Since LIGO doesn’t need to focus light or radio waves from stars or other objects in the Universe, it doesn't need to be dish-shaped like telescope mirrors or radio dishes, which focus electromagnetic radiation into images.) long steel vacuum tubes, 1. It was first predicted in 1916 by Albert Einstein. LIGO's detector is a laser interferometer. Subsequently, the joining of those two great masses sent forth a wobble that hurtled through space and arrived at Earth on September 14, 2015. They travel at the speed of light and cannot be stopped or blocked by anything. To learn more about LIGO and interferometers, you can log on to the LIGO website. What are they Gravitational waves are a measure of strain in space, an effect of the motion of large masses that stretches the fabric of space-time -- a way of viewing space and time as a single, interweaved continuum. Although LIGO will search for gravitational waves from space, and it is called an "Observatory", LIGO is not, strictly speaking, an astronomical facility.Two black holes collided some 1. This collision of two black holes had been predicted but never observed. Then they underwent a major upgrade to make them 10 times more powerful. It does not need to detect any of the above, simply because it is Gravitational Waves are not part of the electromagnetic spectrum.LIGO is the most advanced detectors ever built for sensing tiny vibrations in the universe. The theory was about general relativity, where gravitational waves transport energy as gravitational radiation. Physicists have concluded that the detected gravitational waves were produced during the final fraction of a second of the merger of two black holes to produce a single, more massive spinning black hole. Ask someone to draw a picture of an observatory and odds are it will look something like the photo shown below: a typical telescope dome on a mountain-top. LIGO’s ears consist of two perfectly straight and level 4 km (2.m

The instrument (detector) is designed to spot tiny vibrations from passing gravitational waves, and is a project known as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, or LIGO.5 mi.In a landmark discovery for physics and astronomy, international scientists have finally announced that they have glimpsed the first direct evidence of gravitational waves, or ripples in space-time. LIGO is truly a physics experiment on the scale and complexity of some of the world's giant particle accelerators and nuclear physics laboratories. LIGO is the most advanced detectors ever built for sensing tiny vibrations in the universe. The two US-based underground detectors are known as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, or LIGO for short. Comprised of two enormous laser interferometers located thousands of kilometers apart, LIGO exploits the physical properties of light and of space itself to detect and understand the origins of gravitational waves. The only way to definitively detect a gravitational wave is by operating in unison with a distant twin so that local vibrations are not mistaken for signals from gravitational waves.The gravitational waves were detected on September 14, 2015 at 5:51 a. Though its mission is to detect gravitational waves from some of the most violent and energetic processes in the Universe, the data it will collect will have far-reaching effects on many areas of physics including gravitation, relativity, astrophysics, cosmology, particle physics, and nuclear physicsLIGO is blind: Unlike optical or radio telescopes, LIGO cannot see electromagnetic radiation, for example visible light, radio waves, microwaves, etc.
By contrast, gravitational waves cannot exist in the Newtonian theory of gravitation, which postulates that physical interactions propagate at infinite speed. The LIGO Observatories are funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), and were conceived, built, and are operated by Caltech and MIT. The existence of gravitational waves is a possible consequence of the Lorentz invariance of general relativity since it brings the concept of a limiting speed of propagation of the physical interactions with it.Gravitational waves carry information about their dramatic origins and about the nature of gravity that cannot otherwise be obtained. There are some very good reasons for this, which you can learn about in LIGO’s Dual Detectors.LIGO cannot work alone: While an astronomical observatory can function and collect data just fine on its own (some don’t by choice), gravitational wave observatories like LIGO cannot operate solo.So what is the LIGO LIGO, or Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, is the world's largest gravitational wave observatory and a cutting edge physics experiment. One is located in Hanford, Washington; the other 1,800 miles (3,000 kilometers) away in Livingston, Louisiana.3 billion years ago.First of all, let’s talk about Gravitational Waves. This was when it was picked up by sophisticated instruments back at earth and the phenomenon was observed by two US-based underground detectors. end-of. Eastern Daylight Time (09:51 UTC) by both of the twin Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors, located in Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington, USA. Instead, LIGO’s eyes on the sky are more like ears. LIGO is deaf: Since LIGO doesn’t need to focus light or radio waves from stars or other objects in the Universe, it doesn't need to be dish-shaped like telescope mirrors or radio dishes, which focus electromagnetic radiation into images.) long steel vacuum tubes, 1. It was first predicted in 1916 by Albert Einstein. LIGO's detector is a laser interferometer. Subsequently, the joining of those two great masses sent forth a wobble that hurtled through space and arrived at Earth on September 14, 2015. They travel at the speed of light and cannot be stopped or blocked by anything. To learn more about LIGO and interferometers, you can log on to the LIGO website. What are they Gravitational waves are a measure of strain in space, an effect of the motion of large masses that stretches the fabric of space-time -- a way of viewing space and time as a single, interweaved continuum. Although LIGO will search for gravitational waves from space, and it is called an "Observatory", LIGO is not, strictly speaking, an astronomical facility.Two black holes collided some 1. This collision of two black holes had been predicted but never observed. Then they underwent a major upgrade to make them 10 times more powerful. It does not need to detect any of the above, simply because it is Gravitational Waves are not part of the electromagnetic spectrum.LIGO is the most advanced detectors ever built for sensing tiny vibrations in the universe. The theory was about general relativity, where gravitational waves transport energy as gravitational radiation. Physicists have concluded that the detected gravitational waves were produced during the final fraction of a second of the merger of two black holes to produce a single, more massive spinning black hole. Ask someone to draw a picture of an observatory and odds are it will look something like the photo shown below: a typical telescope dome on a mountain-top.
