Blood from plant

July 27, 2011 - 12:52 pm No Comments

Biotechnology and genetic engineering are revolutionising the biological sciences. A research at Pacific Northwest Laboratory of Department of Energy has identified a method to produce human blood components from plants. This new method is cheaper and is less risky than the current method. In this method the tobacco plants were modified to produce human blood. Some specified genes from human were transplanted into the tobacco plants. The result of this transplantation produced substances like thrombin, factor XII and coagulation factor VIII. These blood factors are normally produced by blood plasma or through cultivation of certain types of mammal cells. These procedures are very risky compared to the method of producing blood from plants. The spreading of diseases that may go undetected in human plasma method can be prevented by producing blood components using plants. This method is ten to eight times cheaper than the current method of production of blood. As the bloods are produced from the tobacco plant the source is stable over time. Also the purified amount of substance is high in blood produced from plants.

Drink and drive is the one of the offence in traffic rules and also in all aspects. Drinking relaxes our mind and our body relives out of tension and stress and makes our mind body cool. Drinking is not a right thing nor as a wrong thing in today’s world. Because the stress the technology is running fastly in turn develops stress and tension and spoils the activity of the persons. Drinking little is always safe because each and every person body needs alcohol for keeping the person hale and healthy. Drink and drive are been punished severely by the government by imprisoning them and revoking their diving license. Drinking increases the alcohol content in blood and makes the person drowsy many accidents many illegal affairs are been happened due to over drinking. When a person has two peeks his way of action slightly differs when he crosses over the level his may of action differs more.

This comparative styled maxim literally means that the density of bleed is greater than that of water but metaphorically means that the felling of joys or sorrows and affection of one towards one’s blood relatives are grater than those towards other. It is a natural instruct that one is inspired more by one’s close relatives than others

This proverb compares two compounds, blood and water, implying blood to the close relative and water to other persons one movies with. Every one prefers the close relative to takes parts in the actives and moving more affectionately with them than with others. When a blood relative suffers, naturally we have an instinct to take part in his suffering. On the cheerful occasion of a blood relative we take part in it wholeheartedly by shouldering some responsibilities to make the occasion grand. Through we participate in the cheerful functions of others and take part during advertise of them we do not show much involvement and interest. We are less interested in participating other’s activities. But we are naturally inspired to take interest whole-heartedly in the activities of the blood relatives. This instinct emerges not only among the relatives alone, but to the society and nation too.

This tendency prevails among the people as a natural instinct. When Tsunami devastated the southern coastal area, every one of our countrymen paid their homage and extended their service and financial support for regarding the life of the affected. Everyone felt much and showed sympathy on seeing the subfreezing of brethren. At the same time, when our brethren invite on a happy occasion, everyone exchanges greetings. So, everyone has the natural instinct of showing joyousness or sympathy deeply to the blood relative and less to others.

Borrowed garments never fit well

July 8, 2011 - 12:59 pm No Comments

This maxim teaches us not to follow others attitude and not to apply others ideas as of his own since they won’t to our attitude and behavior. Borrowed ideas will not coincide with ours and while undertaking them, our Endeavor will get collapsed.

Everyone has individual differences like shape of body, choice of color and fitting etc. A person borrows shirts so as to fit him well and to look smart. But, on the other hand, he loses his smartness while wearing a borrowed shirt because it does not fit him well. When a person has put on such a borrowed garment, the other people would quickly come to know that the garment does not belong to the wearer because of ill fitting. As the borrowed garments do not fit well and they look awkward, the wearer loses the dignity of his own personality. In the same manner, the borrowed ideas do not expose one a Wise man but an odd man. When people use the views of others their thoughts lose the originality and they sound odd to the listeners Moreover, the borrowed ideas also sport the dignity of the person. The coated thoughts will one day expose one’s reality. So one should use one’s own brain to deal in the society. So, every one should not adopt others views and others; otherwise evil prevail instead of good.

Faults, foibles and failings

June 30, 2011 - 4:59 pm No Comments

Virtues are important in the building of a personality. If you get rid of faults, foibles and failings, you clear the debris of your mind for the growth of character and qualities. You cannot fill with milk a vessel which is filled with water. You must spill with milk a vessel which is filled with water. You must spill the water or transfer it to some other pot before you hope to put milk in it.
The same is true of the vessel of your mind. You must clean it and sweep clear your mind of its defects and short-comings. Once you have done that, there will be soil enough for the cultivation of your personality. We agree with the American philosopher Thomas Paine that human nature is not of itself vicious. Everybody is by nature virtuous like a flower. These are the circumstances that make us frustrated, pessimistic, depressed, or hesitant and indecisive with a weakness of will a poor memory and a wandering mind.

June 27, 2011 - 11:48 am No Comments

This proverb discloses the fact that it is very rare and indeed to have a true friend who is always ready to help his friend in his need, even if he is not in a position, without feeling any difficulty to help. True friendship can be judged only at the time of crisis. This proverb provides a definition on the qualification of a friend. Also it unleashes a deep sense on how the true friend’s should behave themselves. It instructs the friends to be unselfish in rendering help to the other friend when he was badly in need even if he is not in a position to extend his help. We make friendship with everyone and everywhere but true friendship is very rare. In course of life a person meets a number of people. Wherever we go, we make friends. But it is very rare to have true friends, i.e. a helpful friend at the hour of need. So persons behave outwardly pretending that are very true and sincere friends. But heart they get some selfish motives. True friends should be supportive with one another at the time of disgust, crises and adversities. Thus true friendship can be judged only at the time of crisis. A true friendship can be judged only at the time of cries. A true friend never hesitates to help his friend even before he demands.

The mighty and ferocious animals, lion is all become zero after his death as he loses all his glory and strength. But the inferior animals, ass, while living, is considered to be better than a dead lion as he proves useful to his master by carrying load on his back. The lion is considered to be the king of jungle. Having a majestic image and structure the lion is a very dreadful and ferocious animal. He loses all his glory and become worthless to serve the humanity. On the contrary an ass is a very inferior animal to a lion. The living ass can carry load on his back and proves useful, serving to humanity. On the death of a lion, the value of living ass increases and so he is considered to be better than a dead lion that is off no value because of inactivity.

The people in power are considered to be superior to the ordinary subjects. They have abilities and power to enact the new laws for the welfare of the society and so, they can help others and can serve the humanity. If the so-called renowned people keep themselves away and don’t try to eradicate the sufferings and poverty of the humanity, they will become dead lions and so they are no more superior to those who have lesser abilities. A poor laborer serves to his master and proves useful to the society to some extent. So, a meek labor who tries to comforts at least some in the society is compared to ass. The word-renowned scientist and philosophers though they were in poor environment, dedicated their inventions to the welfare of the society. So howsoever we are talented or powerful we must do some good to others and prove useful in our lifetime.

People, in olden days used to load, sometimes overload on the backs of the tame and domesticated horse to carry them and the things from one place to another. The horse never refused their masters for overloading on them thinking that it was their duty to obey. As the carry them and the heavy loads they are known as beasts of burden. A horse can’t speak and so his master takes undue advantage of his dumbness. The master thinks that the dumbness of the horse is his willingness to carry the loads and to do all that for his master. The masters feel no sympathy with them and think that it is their right to use the horses. as they would like.

The bosses sometimes why sometimes, very often exploit their people who are duty-bound and duty conscious. This proverb is very true for that kind of people. Sincere, duty-conscious and hard working people are known as ‘Willing Horses’. These types of people are found in every sphere of life. In offices, employees are overburdened by their employers; in schools, the teachers are given overwork by their principals and the labor class is exploited by their masters. Even in the household field the bold members dominate the meek ones and the sincere maidservants are over burdened by their house wives. This kind of nature doesn’t mean that the willing horses are foolish, but it is their duty-bound nature and sincerity which do not allow themes to refuse their masters. So, it is the nature prevailing everywhere that the sincere and duty conscious people willingly remain overburdened as their master lay loads on them.

This maxim tells that at great deal of talent of a person, through he has great abilities is lost in the world of remains unexposed to the world because of lack of courage and want of confidence to expose them and to meet the challenges that come across his sphere of activity. A little effect or courage is wanted to push such a person forwards the heights of glory.

A person may have great abilities in the field he concerned. But he should have the enough courage and confidence to display them. Also he has to meet and overcome the challenges that come across his course of activity. A courageous man faces the most different situations, with courage and confidence whereas a coward does not like to face or hesitates to face the risky situation. To meet the challenges or to face the risks and overcome them, one requires self-confidence. If one loses confidence and courage in him, he can never do progress in his life. Sometimes even talented people lag behind far to expose their talents or hesitate to display them to the world for want of a little courage.

Nowadays we see many uneducated persons are earning cores of rupees in their business or trading. Though they are uneducated, it is their courage and self-confidence that make them to shine in business and enrich in their fields. In political sphere too, many uneducated persons are enjoying higher posts and can dominate in the ruling only because together with their talent, they have confidence and courage to face the situations. When the inventor of Dynamite. Alford Nobel was Nobel was experimenting nitroglycerin; there was an explosion in his factory. So he was denied permission to set up the factory again. The people called him a whimsical scientist. But his courage and self confidence made to manufacture risk-tree explosives and accumulated wealth quickly and became a famous scientist. So, courage is the required factor if one wanes to raise high in his life. Mostly we find people who lose the opportunities only for want of a little courage.

Temptations lead a man to use even the meanest ways to get the desire fulfilled. Temptations are always attractive to everyone. It a man abides by the temptations, he will be led towards destruction. When a person desires anything, he tries to put forth all his effects to own it. When he tries his best to the fullest he happens to use even the meanest ways to get that thing. That’s why a man is considered a blessed one who does not have the worldly desire. One who does not have desire is always a happy man. Only those who run after the worldly desires and pleasures, even then they cannot fulfill them are unhappy, discontented sad and morose. That’s why Lard Buddha preached to give off desires because is the root cause of all destruction.

But resultant they meet with judicial confinement and suffering through their wards begins let alone without anyone to faster them. In later life, the riches and illumined happiness disappear from their mind and try to endure the temptations. So man should resist the temptation because it leads him to the path of sins and sufferings. The saintly-hearted people are not affected by the worldly pleasure and desires. So they are blessed ones and God too loves themes.

Terrorism is one of the most serious problems of India. Terrorists get support from inside and outside India. The government and public should join hands to solve the problems that our country is facing. Only then our country can become great and strong.

May 19, 2011 - 5:46 pm No Comments

This statement is taken from the play ‘Hamlet’ written by Shakespeare. The highlight of intelligence of a person, whether he is a writer or a speaker lies in brevity of expression, not so much in prolixity, When Polonius the cause for Prince Hamlet’s ‘Distemper’, he makes this statement speaking in prolix manner, to Claudius ands Gertrude. Polonius tells the queen that he would be brief but his prolixity provokes her to say,’ more matter with less art’. Bacon’s statement is appreciable and remarkable for their brevity and profundity.

May 10, 2011 - 11:25 am No Comments

This maxim tells that when fuel is added to the fire, the fire glows brightly with flames. It means that, to make the fire glow with flames fuel should be added. In other words, if a lamp is emitting dull light, some more fuel should be added or induced to get bright light. This proverb can be meant in two ways of implications i.e. the negative implication and the positive implication. If the fire is lighted on for the destructive purpose it should be put out. On the other hand if fuel is added to the fire then the fire will glow with blames and disaster is inevitable. When the fire is emanated for the productive purpose and if fuel is added to fire then we can get a fruitful result. We all know that anger is an evil thing. It is an unwanted rain cloud on a sunny and warm day. When a man is with angry mood and if hard and irritating words are used his anger accelerates and so the ill consequences. When a student is dull at his studies, and his interest in studies is induced and encouraged, it will cause better results; he will enrich the business and show better improvement.

The environmental pollution makes our life very difficult. The gases like carbons dioxide exhaust from industries cause air pollution. More over, the lettering in of domestic se wage water, industrial waste and tannery effluents pollute drinking water. In addition to this people now accumulate politeness and plastic containers, glass and porcelain on the streets. They cause various ill effects.

A bad carpenter quarrels with his tools

May 6, 2011 - 7:45 am No Comments

This proverb means that the good workmanship depends more upon the skill of the worker in handling the tools and not on the quality or size of the tools he is handling. A good workman is identified through his efficiency. His efficiency is exposed by the manner in which he handles the tools for the work he is doing. A skillful workman knows how to handle the tools he has with him to accomplish the work flawlessly. But a bad workman blames his tools and quarrels with them, as he does not have the sufficient skill of handling the tools. A workman, who is inefficient and has inadequate experience, does not know the technique of using the tools and so he blames them. When he fails to do the work properly, he would say that he is quite skillful and experienced but due to the defective tools he is not able to the work perfectly.

Every one knows his own efficiency well but on failure, tries to find faults with others, In the office, the superiors blame the subordinates for the belatedly or the wrongly done work. The teachers say that the students are not attentive enough to hear them and the students say that the teachers are not efficiently teaching. But one does not know the reality that whatever the work one wants to do one must carry on it with involvement and interest. At the same time one must try to make oneself to have guts or efficiency to do the work properly.

All that glitter is not gold

May 1, 2011 - 1:41 pm No Comments

This Shakespeare’s statement means that we should not go by appearances because appearances can be fakes and deceitful and so we should first verify whether the glittering is real or fake and then we should give to it or respect it. We live in the world of fascination. People are running after the outward glittering things. Even the less qualified products packed and wrapped attractively and flatteringly to fascinate the public. Shops also are decorated with illumination. This proverb warns us not to go by these glittering appearances but to know the reality. In the same manner, outer beauty and beautiful dresses can also attract the shallow people. Even pure white and saffron dressed people are also considered to be status quo personalities. Most of the political leaders deliver hundreds of promises to get the votes of the innocent people. We should know the facts of these outward attractions and then respond to them. So, all the shining and outwardly attractive things should be put into test to know the reality.
