PERSON OF THE WEEK LOUIS BRAILLE

 WORLD BRAILLE DAY 4TH JANUARY Reaching blind and visually impaired persons Even under normal circumstances, persons with disabilities—one billion people worldwide— are less likely to access health care, education, employment and to participate in the community. They are more likely to live in poverty, experience higher rates of violence, neglect and abuse, and are among the most marginalized in any crisis-affected community. For the visually impaired, life under lockdown has posed several issues in terms of independence and isolation, especially for people who rely on the use of touch to communicate their needs and access information. The pandemic has revealed how critically important it is to produce essential information in accessible formats, including in Braille and audible formats. Otherwise, many persons with disabilities could face a higher risk of contamination due to a lack of access of guidelines and precautions to protect and reduce the spreading of a pandemic.

  PERSON OF THE WEEK Nikola Tesla Born on 10 July 1856, Nikola Tesla is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. Tesla studied engineering and physics in the 1870s without receiving a degree, and gained practical experience in the early 1880s working in telephony and at Continental Edison in the new electric power industry. In 1884, Tesla came to America with little more than the clothes on his back. Within 20 years, he developed the system that would provide electricity to every home in the nation; invented a type of motor that's still used in all sorts of electric devices; and came up with most of the components used in radio and television broadcasting. Tesla conducted a range of experiments with mechanical oscillators/generators, electrical discharge tubes, and early X-ray imaging. He also built a wireless-controlled boat, one of the first ever exhibited. In the age of Edison, Westinghouse, Marconi and J.P....

PERSON OF THE WEEK : SWAMI VIVEKANAND

  स्वामी विवेकानंद स्वामी विवेकानंद (12 जनवरी 1863 - 4 जुलाई 1902), नरेंद्रनाथ दत्ता, एक भारतीय हिंदू भिक्षु थे। वह 19वीं सदी के भारतीय रहस्यवादी रामकृष्ण के प्रमुख शिष्य थे। वे वेदांत और योग के भारतीय दर्शन को पश्चिमी दुनिया में पेश करने में एक प्रमुख व्यक्ति थे, और उन्हें 19 वीं शताब्दी के अंत में हिंदू धर्म को एक प्रमुख विश्व धर्म की स्थिति में लाने के लिए अंतर-जागरूकता बढ़ाने का श्रेय दिया जाता है। कलकत्ता के एक कुलीन बंगाली कायस्थ परिवार में जन्मे विवेकानंद का झुकाव आध्यात्मिकता की ओर था। वह अपने गुरु, रामकृष्ण से प्रभावित थे, जिनसे उन्होंने सीखा कि सभी जीवित प्राणी दैवीय स्व के अवतार थे; इसलिए, मानव जाति की सेवा करके भगवान की सेवा की जा सकती है। रामकृष्ण की मृत्यु के बाद, विवेकानंद ने बड़े पैमाने पर भारतीय उपमहाद्वीप का दौरा किया और ब्रिटिश भारत में प्रचलित का प्रत्यक्ष ज्ञान प्राप्त किया।

PERSON OF THE WEEK "Blaise Pascal"

Blaise Pascal Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662) was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer and Catholic theologian. He was a child prodigy who was educated by his father, a tax collector in Rouen. Pascal's earliest work was in the natural and applied sciences, where he made important contributions to the study of fluids, and clarified the concepts of pressure and vacuum by generalising the work of Evangelista Torricelli. Pascal also wrote in defence of the scientific method. In 1642, while still a teenager, he started some pioneering work on calculating machines. He built 20 finished machines (called Pascal's calculators and later Pascalines) over the following 10 years, establishing him as one of the first two inventors of the mechanical calculator. Pascal was an important mathematician, helping create two major new areas of research: he wrote a significant treatise on the subject of projective geometry at the age of 16, and later corresponded with Pierre de Fermat on p...
