how is kerala now

The “one-in-hundred-year” Kerala floods have been at the center of the national consciousness for last some days. People living at present in Kerala have never seen anything like this before when 12 of the 14 districts of the state were simultaneously affected by floods, with 5 of them having been affected most severely.
In late August 2018, severe flooding  affected the south Indian state of Kerala due to unusually high rainfall during the monsoon season.  It was the worst flooding in Kerala in nearly a century.According to the national disaster's information  over 322 people died, 15 are missing within a fortnight, while at least a million  people were evacuated, mainly
from Chengannur, Pandanad,Aranmula, Aluva, Chalakudy, Kuttanad and Pandalam. All the
14 districts of the state were placed on red alert. According to the Kerala government,one-sixth of the total population of Kerala had been directly affected by the floods and related incidents. 
The relief response in Kerala has been as stupendous as the floods themselves.The official machinery worked, with armed forces (Indian navy ,army and air force) and the National Disaster Response Force working consecutively with them , and the  administration of 
Kerala.Helicopters and naval and coastguard boats rescued people stranded a top homes and other elevations.But the biggest rescue work was done by Kerala’s fisher folk, who arrived with their boats, strong bodies and generosity of spirit and spent tireless hours moving people to safety.The Indian Government had declared it a Level 3 Calamity  of a severe nature'.
In the national discourse there are many questions being raised: could the release of water from the dams have been better managed? Could the early warning system be more efficient and people-centered? There are no simple answers, these questions will have to be deliberated upon over the coming months. However, for the people of Kerala, the urgent work of recovery and reconstruction cannot wait.Among all of those losses  people  of Kerala celebrate their "ONAM "  festival in those relief camps "   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onam".

you can lose weight

Exercise can certainly help you lose weight by burning calories and building muscle. But, doing just push-ups — even daily — is unlikely to be rigorous enough to burn enough calories to lose a lot of pounds. Push-ups alone also fail to stimulate total-body muscle gains that raise your metabolism and make you a lean machine. To lose weight, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends at least 250 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio exercise weekly. Moderate-intensity exercise is equal to brisk walking or playing a game of doubles tennis. It's unlikely you could fit in 250 minutes of push-ups weekly, and even if you could, this repetition would lead to join pain from overuse. Push-ups are a functional exercise that build stamina and strength in many major muscle groups. Include them as a part of your weight-loss regimen, but not as the sole exercise. Push-Ups Impact on Your Weight Although other factors do come into play, weight loss essentially comes down to crea

Mobile or cell phones are now a days an integral part of modern telecommunications in every individual life. In many countries, over half of the population use mobile phones and the mobile phone market is growing rapidly. Saudi Arabia rank first among the countries of the gulf region with highest proportion of mobile users, a study conducted by United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). In gulf countries, Oman ranked second, followed by Kuwait and the UAE. Besides the number of cell phone calls per day, the length of each call and the amount of time people use cell phones are important factors which enhance the health related risk.  In 2011, International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified mobile phone radiation possibly carcinogenic, means that there “could be some risk” of carcinogenicity, so additional research into the long-term, heavy use of mobile phones needs to be conducted. Mobile phones emit radio frequency energy, a form of non-ionizing el

Dhokra The Traditional Art of Metal Casting

The name 'Dokra' or ‘Dhokra’ was used originally to indicate a sect of metal craftsmen who well were known for their metal craft. Dokra now refers to a metal craft which is tribal in origin. It is mainly found in the tribal areas of Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh. In this metal craft the craftsman firstly subcultures a wax model of the object he wants to make. Then he makes a mould of clay and pours molten metal into a hole in the mould, then the wax melts and the clay is broken away to bring out the metal object which is then smoothed an polished to perfection. This is also know as the lost wax procedure or “cire perdure”. Dokra art mainly produces figurines of Gods, Goddesses and religious animals and birds. Dokra art has a rustic and antique finish which makes this unique and appealing. Though the Dokra artists are untutored in traditional institutions the Dokra craftsmen posses huge repertoire of creativity and artistic sagacity. Dokra art is
