Capital Punishment

Although the topic has been discussed nearly on all the platforms but still it is controversial. Death penalty seems to be a deterrent and very severe form of punishment but actually it is very important to eradicate several human activities which have put the future of our society on the brink. Much to our chagrin, today we are surrounded by many evils which are bane of our existence. Thugs and corrupt people have made the life of a layman impossible. There is no surety of one’s life and belongings. Robberies and murders have increased to dizzying heights. Thus there is a need of strict action against these people. For the safety of others capital punishment is indispensible. Zeroing into the world we can realize that the countries where capital punishment has been imposed have low crime rates. As an example we can take Saudi-Arabia and Iran where death penalty is practiced and as a result crime rate in these countries is one of the lowest in the world. On the other hand, U.K abolished the capital punishment and has seen a rise of up to 125% of murders since then. Several other European countries and U.S have also faced increased crime rates due to the cancelation of death penalty in these countries. But the question is that,” is capital punishment always justified?” Now, here is a really vexing situation. We know many of the countries in this world do not have fair and free judiciary; as a result the judgments made in the court are often influenced by the corrupt people. Many innocent people suffer who do not have enough resources to appoint a quintessential lawyer and bribe the judges. This has been common in many of the developing countries like Pakistan and India. Most of the times, the culprits do not get the treatment. So it must be stressed that before the capital punishment is introduced, the judiciary should be made sound and fair. Once this is done, the crime rate will drop and harmony will prevail in the society. But who will do this, and when this would happen still remains a big question!

Mass media

Mass media denotes a section of the media specifically designed to reach a large audience. The term was coined in the 1920s with the advent of nationwide radio networks, mass-circulation newspapers and magazines. However, some forms of mass media such as books and manuscripts had already been in use for centuries.
Mass media includes Internet media (like blogs, message boards, podcasts, and video sharing) because individuals now have a means to exposure that is comparable in scale to that previously restricted to a select group of mass media producers. The communications audience has been viewed by some commentators as forming a mass society with special characteristics, notably atomization or lack of social connections, which render it especially susceptible to the influence of modern mass-media techniques such as advertising and propaganda.
The term public media is less used and is defined as "media whose mission is to serve or engage a public."[1]
Marshall McLuhan, one of the biggest critics in media's history, brought up the idea that "the medium is the message".

Ummmmmmmmmmm! Well its just like that, i am in a vexing situation where i have no time to think what to do and what would be my possible fate.............................

WANT TO ASK ANYTHING?

Hi friends!
Please leave your questions in the comment box. All queries will be answered soon.

Out for humanity!!!!!

Well it finally got started!I was not expecting it, but thanks to mother and my close relative who made it possible. About a month had passed in fun and very little work. And another month lay ahead of me with no idea of what to do.



It was not about 30 hour voluntary service you need for Duke of Edinburgh award, i already was done with that. It was about getting out of house and doing something, to learn, to help, to serve humanity voluntarily. But i was like a blind who needed some help! And so i got the help and crossed the wide gap ready for the task with eyes bestowed once again!



My social service was to be in civil hospital, it was my first day, all the things which some well known and other people had instructed me were in my mind. I reached there half an hour earlier. So had to wait for that time and a further 1 hour for waiting the person who would tell me the work, Mr.Sajid. He didn't come but fortunately i found my uncle there(working as a senior assistant prof.), he supervised me to the Dowites78 operation theatre or O.T as we call it.
I went inside the first operation theatre or lobby where i had to meet Dr.Riffat, an anaesthesiologist.

A patient was lying on the bed and the doctor was trying something with some apparatus which later the doctor told me was anaesthetic machine when i asked her. I continued to watch the things carefully and understand the procedures. The operation started, firstly reluctant, i later had the courage to watch the surgery, i saw the tools and some of the techniques. During operation the doctor called me and told me about the gigantic anaesthetic machine that was of multi-purpose. Operation lasted for more than 3 hours.

I came back down where i met him and told him about my activities. I headed back towards my home quite happy because a good 1st day and a plan of learning more next day!!!

Learn IV canulation__ for pre-medical students

1. Assemble all the equipment required:
Gloves
Sharps bin
2. Prime 3 way tap and extension with saline:
3. Explain to the patient what you intend to do and why. Obtain verbal consent.
4. Tighten a tourniquet around he appropriate limb and identify an appropriate vein:
5. Clean the insertion site with the alcohol wipe:
6. Infiltrate the insertion site with local anaesthetic:
7. Hold the cannula so that you will be able to see blood entering the transparent flashback chamber. Keep the bevel facing upwards. Stretch the skin with the thumb of your non-dominant hand.
8. Insert the cannula, aiming for the vein, until you get a flashback of blood
9. Insert the cannula slightly further - remember that the plastic sleeve of the cannula does not extend right to the tip of the trocar:
10. Hold the trocar still with your dominant hand and slide the plastic cannula forward with your other hand
11. Compress the vein over the tip of the cannula to prevent blood entering the cannula, withdraw the trocar and dispose of it immediately in the sharps bin.
12. Continue to compress the vein and connect the extension tubing
13. Secure the cannula in place with a transparent adhesive dressing

Its fun time!

Taking your time out for some fun is indispensable. It’s the time of physical activity rather than bogging up of your mind in work.

Fun can be of any sort, playing football, cricket, badminton, going for swimming or outing with the friends or family members, the latter most possible in the holidays. It’s the ultimate fun time when we move on to the water parks, voluminous clubs, parks and to the beach points.

So we decided and went to Shaheed Nisar park mainly because of my aunt who insisted on going there. Now searching for the destination was another story! We wandered in the defense area of our city (Karachi) for about half an hour following my aunt car and than we got stuck in a traffic signal & our aunt got out of our sight, my elder brother called her trying to ask where they were, but all to no use, we took several wrong cuts, after that I decided to move to the park by myself taking help from the some people who were moving about the road. Finally I was successful! Me and my family reached before my aunt and for that I teased her when she came a little later.

I entered the park with all other people with me. It quite nice park with wide jogging tracks, clean grass fields, games for kids and playing area for us. I can say that we did enjoy there especially because my family and cousins were there and the delicious cuisines we ate in the end.

We retuned home very tired yet happy!

We will be adding more points to the notes in successive posts.

The board exams ends with the beggining of our long vacations. And like me people make dizzying plans which remain a mere thought! " I will read the books for the new session, i will give SAT test, i will join some club, i will go on for trips with my friends........and something interactive!" And by the end of the vacations we have hardly done any of the tasks!

I too had the same problem!But now i have got a resolution.Firstly we need to know what summer vacations are for? They are for studying to be prepared for the next session? joining coaching centres?or to give some rest to people in intense heat of june& july? I might say yes to all the questions but i would qualify my statement by stating that we need to plan our vacations carefully instead of wavering & trying to do all the things, this is almost impossible!Choose any single thing and plan in a way that you have almost a month free. Even if you do single thing, the real pleasure is when you do it complete! Believe me never think you are short of tasks, always remember you have a month extra and it is when you can do as many things as you wish!

Although i never did what i ve discovered, this vacations am doing the same and with this planning i hope it would turn out to be the best vacations ever!

Important definitions and formulas for Physics_AS

These are extremely important points which you must know. These all points will be covered in two posts. Note them.
1)SI unit_ a system of units internationally accepted.
2)Base unit_ units for basic physical quantities.
3)Dimensions_relationship between physical and derived quantities.
4)Unit for young modulus_kgm^-1s^-2.
5)Reading_ single determination of the value of an unknown quantity.
6)Measurement_ Final result of analysis of series of readings.
7)Moment of force_ turning effect of force or torque.
8)Couple_ consists of two forces acting on an object of same magnitude but not in the same line.
9)Centre of gravity_ where the weight of an object is assumed to act.
10)One Newton_ It is defined as a force when which acts of a body of mass, m, produces an acceleration of 1m/s.
11)Formula for pressure on the wall_ P=pv^2, (p=density)
12)Work done = Fs cos0 (0= theta).
13)One joule_ it’s the work done by a force of 1 newton when its point of application is displaced a distance of 1m in direction of force.Next post covering other points will be published shortly on the blog.

More definitions for physics_AS

These are probably the points I noted down and memorized them. They are good for revision.

1) Work done by a gas_ W= pressure * change in volume
2) Power_ force*velocity (very important)
3) One watt_ one watt is the power expended when 1 joule of work is done in 1 second.
4) Elasticity_ It’s the property of the body which enables the body to regain its position when the deforming force is removed.
5) Transverse waves_ The motion of oscillation is perpendicular to the wave motion.
6) Polarization_ The oscillations are made to move in single plane only.
7) Interference of waves_ It’s the effect produced by the superposition of two coherent waves passing through the same region.
8) Intensity_ It’s the rate at which energy is transferred by the wave to the unit area which is perpendicular to the direction of the propagation of wave. Point to be noted__ Intensity is directly proportional to the Square of frequency and Square of amplitude.
9) Potential difference_ P.d between the two points is the energy dissipated when 1 coloumb of charge flows from one point to another.
10) Electromotive force_ It’s the energy supplied from source to each coloumb charge to drive the charge round the complete circuit.
11) Ohm_ It’s the resistance of the conductor if when a current of 1A flows through it, the voltage across it is 1 volt.
12) Kirchhoff’s 1st law_ The algebraic sum of currents entering a junction in a circuit is zero.
13) Kirchhoff’s 2nd law_ Round a closed loop the algebraic sum of E.M.Fs is equal to the algebraic sum of the products of current & resistance.This post & the previous one almost cover all the definitions important for exams.
