Rock dependent extreme microbes that could potentially survive outside our solar system

We recently published a paper in the journal of life, MDPI publishers, which is a scopus indexed journal. Here we have used the indexing metric tool and adjusted its weight exponents mathematically, to check if extreomophiles or microbes which are rock dependent, that could potentially survive on rocky exoplanets.

Exoplanets are basically planets outside our solar system, similar work of tardigrade microbe (or extremophile) was done by our team and it is published in Life sciences in space Research journal, Elsivier publisher. As tardigrade is a water extremophile that could potentially survive on water composition exoplanets.

In order to learn more about this and to know about the names of the rocky extremophiles, read from the link below of the open access journal.

We have obtained some interesting results:

Diwali the festival of lights: Turns air to poision

The awareness created about air pollution in India is not enough to protect our atmosphere. Some people don't care about atmosphere as their children will miss out on something special in life if they don't burn crackers. The Air Quality Index shows shocking results in metropolitan cities, if we don't protect mother nature now, then slowly India will become in-habitable for human beings. We Indians are so much resilient to keep Kashmir as a part of India, we have to show similar patriotism to protect our cities. Imagine one day when Delhi or Bengaluru becomes in-habitable to  human beings, the population that has to migrate is huge. The awareness program from government is not enough to reach the entire middle class and we are not seeing a huge change like no crackers anywhere in the cities.

Solution: It is high time for the central and state governments to bring a policy to ban crackers manufacture in India, and give alternate jobs to cracker business people.

Karnataka's funny politics 2019

Bengaluru the capital city of Karnataka is the hub of political games after the general elections 2019 results.  Here the friendship government of congress and JDS parties are running the government in a most funny way imaginable. The sleepy congress old man called by the name Siddaramaiah is playing double games to get back to the power. <my question is; if he is physically incapable of being attentive in important meetings, why can't papu (i.e. Rahul Gandhi) send him home>. On the other side the weeping seedless drama queen from JDS, who is suffering to stand up for what he believes in, is the current chief minister of Karnataka. After the heavy defeat of friendship government against BJP the unsatisfied ministers from either sides of friendship government are planing to bring the government  down  any moment. In the process of this mess and in built corruption of congress history suggests no quality work is done, and the state government has not done anything to uplift the employment rate, but strongly points finger against the central government relating this issue.

This topic can point out lot of loop holes and I don't want to bore my blog readers with a huge article. So kindly leave a comment if you want more :)

Toll and fare problems with OLA / UBER cabs

Drivers from the major cab services like OLA and UBER are charging toll fare twice from the public with no reason. The app does not have an option to say the toll is included, so these drivers mercilessly charge the customers. Since the app is charging as its included and the driver is also charging, so twice, the drivers make up their own rules related to toll.

Secondly, the app shows a lot of variation on the charges  <especially when it rains>. The cab charge from electronic city to airport is twice that of the air fare from Bangalore to Delhi. This customer betrayals has to be stopped and the policy on charges should be fixed and has to be transparent. These cab services should not play with customers situation and apply more charges accordingly, if they do so the motivation behind the OLA founder goes around a deep shit!

As a customers we should appeal to the Karnataka government, to resolve this issue, and this should come under some kind of a punishable cheating act.

Digital NOMAD

What is digital NOMAD?

These people travel from place to place, and use only digital platforms to earn money.



Warning!

Travelling experience makes the whole world an work place, even though it sounds like the dream come true its not easy. You can earn money on YouTube, blogger and other ways online, but its not stable.

Planning required to be a digital NOMAD:

1) Necessary travelling Visa documents: you get only tourist visa.

2) Better cook your own food

3) Book cheap places in the surrounding to stay.

4) Find a motivating work space with wifi

5) If you make any saving find suitable investment plan for your retirement.

6) Keep a track of currency valuation from country to country.


How much an average digital NOMAD earn?

About 500 to 800 Euros a month...

Short Note: Black hole image released on 10/04/2019 (EHT)

Astronomers breakthrough imaging of a black hole via Event Horizon Telescope, with a big collaboration has been successful. 

What is a basic black hole ?

A black hole is basically a huge massive dead star, surrounded by a huge accretion disk of gas and dust, which travels close to speed of light. In the black hole gravity is so large not even light (which has zero mass) can escape from it. The surface of the back hole is called event horizon (point of no return), beyond which you see a burning ring in the picture below, this is called photon sphere (basically a shadow of light), caused by bending of light around the heavy objects in space-time (or gravity being space time curvature -> which is Einstein's General Theory of Relativity). 

picture credits : EHT

The black hole targeted is located in a galaxy called M87, which is billions and billions of kilometer away fro us. The mass of this monster black hole is 6.5 billion times that of our sun. This photograph was taken by a network of 8 telescopes and has proved Einstein's 100 year old general theory of relativity is correct yet again!

Bias related to DEEMED University in India!

Deemed university is a status of autonomy granted to high performing institutes and departments of various universities in India. It is granted by the University Grants Commission (UGC) of India. Karnataka has 15 deemed universities, the major DEEMED universities are IISc, IIITB, Christ, Jain, ...etc.

(For confirmation of these deemed universities -> go to official UGC website and check the list of deemed university in Karnataka).

There is some fake news flying around: "The PhD degree awarded from deemed university is not good enough to get a government job?".

Then the PhD awarded from a world class university like Indian Institute of Science (IISc) should also be considered useless for government jobs as well?

I wanted to clear the doubt's for students studying in deemed universities, not to worry about the fake news spreading by random people, who would not know the head or tail of actual PhD research. If you get a degree from Bangalore University (BU) it takes 7 years or more even if you do good work, and we have to go across lot of corruption before finishing the degree. Some of the professors treat you as slaves, and most people quit because of harassment! Students say the experience of doing PhD at BU is horrible which includes cast-ism. Also we have heard in the media that: writing the god's name on the top of the answer script was the code of information to get passed at BU.

Looking at these above BU reports one would like a peaceful place to do PhD. If anybody challenges the quality of the PhD work done at deemed or private universities (in 3 or 5 years); then you can ask them to check the Scopus index author profile of the research scholar, which is maintained by Elsevier publishers, to understand the quality of work published by the scholar related to his/her PhD list of publications. If the PhD work is published in a Scopus based journal, then the work is of high quality and UGC would have already recognized it, but it is not so easy to publish in Scopus . Keep in mind without hard work  nothing can be done, so smart and hard work could get you published in Scopus.

The major private universities in Karnataka are PES, REVA,...etc. are equally good too, but not deemed universities yet! also beware of some fake universities which are neither private nor Deemed, the details can be found on official UGC website.
