At an outset, New Year greetings to all, 2016 had a mixture of

some great achievements and some disastrous accidents. The

beginning of the year saw the Pathankot attack and the year end, , , ,

the surgical strike and demonetization. The flagship Digital India

programme of the Govt. has a vision to have a total cashless

economy, which may be one of the main mottos for this year. To

promote cashless transactions and to convert India into cash-less

society, various modes of digital payments viz., USSD, AEPS,

UPI etc., are available. In this venture security of the honest

earnings and reliability have to be ensured and creating awareness

among common people is a challenge. This roll out is a gradual

and time taking.

A Day without Social MediaA Day without Social MediaA Day without Social MediaA Day without Social MediaAman Soni, 4Aman Soni, 4Aman Soni, 4Aman Soni, 4thththth sem sem sem sem With changing times we switched to what we call a "revolution". As my younger sister

puts it, "not having breakfast once in a while won't be much of a change, but not sharing

the image I took, would mean that it's a waste". So for us it is more important to take

pictures , neither because they matter to us, nor because they are important "random"

memories, but because they are to be shared as random memories.

And in this revolutionized world of ours, how difficult would it be to stay without media?

To wake up and not find a text, or to take a picture and keep it saved in Gallery without

posting, or to actually view news channels for news rather than moving around and

surfing? Well, at first it could be hard! People around the world have shown serious

withdrawal symptoms (as addictive as drugs) like looking at phone for hours, waiting

for a text, or clicking selfies, and not getting likes, and the sadness that follows!

Now it's high time, to realise that pictures are to be taken for personal memoranda and

not for the likes To realize, there exists a "SOCIAL" life beyond the social media. So, take

some time out from the virtual world of ours and you will find yourself surrounded by

real friends, real emotions, and maybe, the REAL world.

The Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM)BHIM)BHIM)BHIM) was rolled out by Prime

Minister Narendra Modi on 30th December 2016, in an initiative to

enable fast, secure and reliable cashless payments through mobile

phones. BHIM is inter-operable with other Unified Payment

Interface (UPI) applications and bank accounts, and has been

developed by the National Payments Corporation of India

(NPCI).The Android app is already available on the Google Play

Store, and is downloadable at the link below:

This seals the government’s push towards digital payments after the

November 8 demonetization that resulted in the scrapping of high-

value Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 currency notes.

Reusable Rockets Reusable Rockets Reusable Rockets Reusable Rockets Rockets typically are destroyed on their maiden voyage. But now they can make an upright landing and be refueled for another trip, setting the stage for a new era in spaceflight. Thousands of rockets have flown into space, but not until 2015 did one return like this: it came down upright on a landing pad, steadily firing to control its descent, almost as if a movie of its launch were being played backward. If this can be done regularly and rockets can be refueled over and over, spaceflight could become a hundred times cheaper. Two tech billionaires made it happen. Jeff Bezos’s BlueJeff Bezos’s BlueJeff Bezos’s BlueJeff Bezos’s Blue Origin first pulled off a landing in November; Elon Musk’s Elon Musk’s Elon Musk’s Elon Musk’s SpaceXSpaceXSpaceXSpaceX did it in December. The companies are quite different—Blue Origin hopes to propel tourists in capsules on four-minute space rides, while SpaceX already launches satellites and space station supply missions—but both need reusable rockets to improve the economics of spaceflight. Blasting things into space has been expensive because rockets cost tens of millions of dollars and fly once before burning up in a free fall back through the atmosphere. SpaceX and Blue Origin instead bring theirs down on fold-out legs, a trick that requires onboard software to fire thrusters and manipulate flaps that slow or nudge the rockets at precise moments.

Pioneers

Benjamin Franklin discovered one of the fundamental laws of physics – the Law of

Conservation of Electric Charge – and proved that lightning is electricity. He also:

invented bifocal spectacles, invented the Franklin stove, and invented the lightning

rod.

Gustav Robert Kirchhoff this German physicist has made massive contributions to the fundamental understanding of black-body radiation emitted by heated objects, spectroscopy, and electrical circuits.
