Anees Jung's book Lost Spring focuses on stories of children from deprived backgrounds who face difficult circumstances like being kidnapped and forced to work in the carpet industry. Some children are maltreated by alcoholic fathers, married off early, or sexually abused, though some find refuge in schools set up by NGOs. In this chapter, Jung expresses concern over the exploitation of children in hazardous jobs due to grinding poverty and traditions, which results in the loss of childhood innocence, education, and play. There is a need to provide such poverty-stricken children, particularly, with opportunities and a life of dignity. The life of Mukesh, who lives with his bangle maker brother in Firozabad, exemplifies thisThe third level STD 12

Robert Frost was an American poet born in 1874 in San Francisco. He left Harvard without a degree and worked various jobs before becoming a farmer. By the 1920s, he was the most celebrated poet in America. As a farmer, Frost's poetic sensibilities were awakened as he observed the detachment of man from nature. His poems often featured rural characters and explored themes of social divides between the rural and urban, rich and poor, and the simple versus materialistic lifestyles. Frost employed simple language and narrative style to tell stories of farmers and their lives, hopes, and interactions with outsiders.Keeping Quiet POEM

This poem advocates for the importance of self-introspection and silence. It suggests that taking 12 moments of silence to examine oneself can transform lives and unite people. During this time, one should keep quiet and say nothing in order to feel a sense of togetherness. While it may seem strange initially, this silence would interrupt destructive activities and allow people to resume their lives in a calmer, hatred-free manner. The poet believes that stillness is essential for refreshing and improving future activities.The rattrap

Are Controversies in Statistics Relevant for Responsible AI/ML?
A central debate in statistics concerns probabilitys role: is it to control error rates (frequentist) or express belief (Bayesian)? Frequentists prioritize error control, ensuring rare false rejections and strong power to detect falsity. For Bayesians, by contrast, evidence from the data resides in the likelihood ratios, ignoring error probabilities. The replication crisis fueled criticism of statistical significance tests, which are blamed for irreproducibility. Yet, selection biasesp-hacking, optional stoppingare the real issue. Ironically, Bayesian alternatives (e.g., Bayes factors) fail to guard against these biases, leading to misguided reforms that discard crucial error control. The same data-dredged hypothesis can occur in Bayes factors, and Bayesian updatingbut without direct grounds to criticize flouting of error statistical control.
AI/ML shifts the focus away from understanding data generation to optimizing prediction. But when it comes to problems of checking if AI/ML outputs are responsible and trustworthy, I argue, error statistical considerations become relevant. Fairness hacking, and explanation (justification) hacking in XAI, like p-hacking and BF hacking, can make it easy to obtain misleading interpretations of data. Reforms from error statistics: preregistration and adjustment of error rates, are relevant for critically appraising them. I put forward a general requirement that is operable in both fields: A claim lacks warrant if little if anything has been done to detect its flawsit fails a severe test.BREAST FEEDING BENIFITS OF BREAST FEEDING.pptx

Breastfeeding is a fundamental right for both baby and mother, offering complete nutrition and vital immunological support. It's hygienic, economical, and shields infants from diseases. Additionally, breastfeeding fosters a strong mother-child bond, promoting overall well-being. Breastfeeding is the natural process of feeding an infant with breast milk, providing essential nutrients and immunity, promoting growth, strengthening mother-child bonding, and reducing disease risks.
Exclusive breastfeeding means feeding an infant only breast milk, without any additional food or drink for the first six months.Pests of Cucurbitaceous Vegetables, Colocasia and Moringa their Damage Sympto...

A scattered radiation survey in a radiology department is an essential process for ensuring radiation safety and compliance with regulatory standards. Scattered radiation, which is secondary radiation deflected from its original path after interacting with a patient or other objects, poses a potential hazard to healthcare professionals, patients and general public.
Protection for Healthcare Workers and General Public: Scattered radiation surveys pinpoint areas where scattered radiation levels are highest. This helps in identifying workspaces or equipment where additional shielding or protective measures may be needed.
Since prolonged exposure to scattered radiation increases the risk of conditions like cancer and cataracts, surveys help to ensure that exposure stays within safe limits, adhering to regulatory standards and minimizing long-term health risks. Survey helps to protect Workers and General Public.
Radiation Survey data for safety improvements: The data collected in these surveys allows the X-ray department to make informed decisions about room layout, equipment placement, and workflow adjustments to further reduce exposure.
Surveys help identify where lead aprons, thyroid shields, and lead glasses are most effective, and when extra protective barriers or shields might be necessary for staff safety.
Radiation Survey for image quality: Clear, high-contrast images are essential for accurate diagnoses. When scattered radiation is minimized, the images are of higher diagnostic quality, helping radiologists detect abnormalities and make precise evaluations.
