A Comparative Analysis: Tejas vs. JF17 Jet Fighters

  In the arena of modern warfare, the prowess of fighter aircraft plays a pivotal role in determining a nation's air superiority. Among the myriad of fighter jets vying for dominance, the Tejas and JF17 have emerged as prominent contenders, particularly in the Indian and Pakistani Air Forces' arsenals. As these nations seek to bolster their aerial capabilities, a comparative analysis between the Tejas and JF17 becomes imperative to discern the strengths and weaknesses of each. Export Dynamics: Despite being manufactured in China, the JF17 finds limited usage domestically, primarily being exported to economically constrained nations. This underscores a discrepancy in China's reliance on the JF17 compared to its export clientele. Technological Limitations: The earlier variants of the JF17 lack advanced features such as AESA radar, in-flight refueling, and sensor fusion capabilities, compromising its combat effectiveness. Additionally, the absence of modern amenities coupled...

Top Benefits of practicing Mindfulness

M indfulness has several important benefits; each one supports an important part of well – being. Relaxing the body, calming the mind, soothing one’s emotions and discovering one’s self. People love massages because it will relax their bodies, while it really does it has little to offer compared to mindfulness. The body and the mind are so intertwined with one another, that when one of them is tensed or stressed, the other automatically gets affected. This is because of the composition of the human body, when stress is experienced it begins a chain reaction in the body, and you prepare to either fight or flee the situation. There is so much energy throughout the body and that energy doesn’t have any direction that is why it builds tension. The aim of mindfulness is not to eradicate the tension or make one feel relaxed, instead it aims to create awareness and acceptance of your moment – to – moment experience. It brings about curiosity to ask and feel. In the ...

What is mindfulness?

E ver heard someone say “You are here, but you’re just not here”? Pretty confusing eh, but there’s a lot of truth in it. People tend to dwell so much on the past or worry so bad about the future to such extent that they lose the opportunity to live and savor the present. By making a fuss about what cannot be changed and those that are yet to come the “now” becomes nothing but a frustration and obsession to gain control over yesterday and tomorrow. Mindfulness has a lot to do with living in the present. It enables one to live at peace with what was was and what will be and simply enjoy the current moment.   Mindfulness is a concept incorporated in both Eastern and Western cultures. It came from the Indian word “sati” which means awareness, attention and remembering. These three are completely different yet highly associated with one another. Awareness enables you to be conscious about what’s happening. Attention, on the other hand, is a more centralized version of...

6 Key Benefits of Mindfulness in Schools

Solid scientific evidence suggests that mindfulness interventions improve attention, self-control, emotional resilience, recovery from addiction, memory and immune response. Here’s a summary of benefits particularly relevant to educators:   Attention Strengthens our "mental muscle" for bringing focus back where we want it, when we want it. Students who did about an hour of "mindfulness training" for eight days subsequently did better on the GRE as well as tests of working memory and mind-wandering. Researchers at University of California at Santa Barbara had 48 undergraduate students take either a mindfulness class or a nutrition class. Classes met for 45 minutes four times per week for two weeks. They were taught by "professionals with extensive teaching experience in their respective fields."...

How to practice mindfulness meditation, techniques and benefits

Mindfulness meditation is free. There are no health insurance premiums, drug costs, or expensive therapies. And it works! But first you have to understand the authentic instructions, and secondly you must practice diligently. If you do this, mental and physical problems will melt away. Try it! How can you lose? To begin with, each of the 8 steps below may take a day, a week, a month, even a year before you are confident in your grasp of that particular step. But before you become impatient, remember that building a good foundation by not rushing from step to step will pay off big time later. If you practice only step one, fully, with confidence and awareness, it will lead to total liberation from stress, and eventual "enlightenment." But rushing from step to step, trying to hurry the process and get somewhere quickly, results in nothing but restlessness and boredom. There will be no internal shifts, no AHA! moments, which are those experiences that can occur in any of the...

A 5-Minute Gratitude Practice: Focus on the Good by Tapping into Your Senses

Waking up this morning, I glanced at my cell phone and noticed the weather app ominously predicting many days of snow and icy temperatures ahead. Brrr! I could feel the chill of dark thoughts starting to gather. I could feel my body creak with cold and aging. Life’s challenges were seemingly everywhere. And yet…I was smiling. I was cheerful. I was grateful. What? Was I crazy? As one of my New Year’s resolutions, I’d made a point of tuning my awareness toward appreciation of life’s small delights. I was curious about what I would discover if I focused intentionally on the things that I appreciated. This morning, as I let wakefulness peel the dark back, I could smell my neighbor’s coffee brewing. The snow outside gently buffered the sounds of the world. I could sense my husband’s warm weight in the bed. I took a long moment to enjoy the muted winter light edging in around the slats of the window blinds. There was nothing particularly special going on, but I noticed...
