Abstract Primary cosmic radiation from both the Sun and interstellar space enters Earth's atmosphere in varying amounts. Outside of Earth's atmosphere, cosmic radiation is modulated by solar activity and Earth's magnetic field. Once the radiation enters Earth's atmosphere, it interacts with Earth's atmosphere in the same manner regardless of its point of origin (solar or galactic).

  • Geographical Indication Tag
    www.gradeup.co Geographical Indication Tag What is Geographical Indication Tag? A geographical indication (GI) is a sign used on products having a particular geographical origin and having qualities or a reputation due to that origin. You might have heard about copyright, patent, trademark, etc. which are rights of intellectual property. Geographical Indication Tag provides holders with similar rights and protection. Darjeeling tea was the first product to be given a GI tag in India. The Geographical Indications of Goods Act was enacted by India in 1999. Why GI tag? India enacted the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration & Protection) Act 1999 as a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), that entered into force with effect from 15 September 2003. It supports local production and helps in mainstreaming and upliftment of the rural and the tribal communities. These GI tags must not be confused with IPR. GI is a collective right, unlike IPRs which grants protection to individual interest. India has registered 236 GI products so far and more than 270 more have applied for the label GI recently got a logo and a tagline given by the Commerce and Industry Minister to increase the awareness about the IPRs in the country. LOGO 1 www.gradeup.co Here we give you an infographic of the most recent addition in the GI list over the past couple of years (2017-2019 Feb) Recently Awarded GI Tag Commodity/handicraft/food Name Place item Konkan (Western Indian states of Maharashtra, Alphonso Food Goa, and the South Indian state of Karnataka)

  • L&T Construction to Build 'Statue of Unity'
    L&T Construction to Build ‘Statue of Unity’ `2989 crores order for the World’s tallest statue Mumbai, October 28, 2014: The Buildings & Factories Business of L&T Construction has won a prestigious EPC order worth `2989 crores for the design and construction of the Statue of Unity from the Government of Gujarat. The Statue of Unity has been the dream project of Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi. The 182 metres (597 feet) bronze statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel will be built on the Sadhu- Bet Island, approximately 3.5 km south of Sardar Sarovar Dam at Kevadia in the Narmada district of Gujarat. Once completed, the Statue of Unity will be the tallest in the world. L&T’s scope will include design, engineering and construction of the statue along with an exhibition centre at its base, a memorial garden, a designer bridge connecting Sadhu Island with the mainland along the Narmada River, an internal roadway of 5 km length, improvements to the existing roads /bridges/ culverts connecting the area of Sadhu Island. It will also host an administrative complex /a management hub cum a star rated hotel (Shresta Bharat Bhavan) and a conference centre. This memorial tourist centre is scheduled to be completed within 42 months. The contract of the project was awarded in the presence of Chief Minister Mrs. Anandiben Patel and other senior ministers and officials from the Government of Gujarat on October 27, 2014. “Bagging this order is a matter of great pride for us at L&T as it re-affirms the confidence that people have in us to build complex structures,” said Mr.

  • Flashback: Satyajit Ray's Professor Shonku and His Lost
    TALKING FILMS Flashback: Satyajit Ray’s Professor Shonku and his lost project ‘The Alien’ All about the screenplay that reportedly inspired Steven Spielberg’s ‘E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial’. Chandrima Pal Mar 09, 2018 · 09:15 am Satyajit Ray’s alien Bengali director Sandip Ray’s latest movie features one of Satyajit Ray’s best-known literary creations. Not the detective Feluda, but Professor Shonku, the scientist and eccentric genius who was introduced by Sandip Ray’s father in 1961. Sandip Ray’s Professor Shonku O El Dorado is based on the story Nakur Babu O El Dorado, in which Shonku takes off on an adventure with a man who can see into the future and make people see things that are not immediately visible. Produced by leading Kolkata studio SVF, the movie will be shot in Bengal and Brazil, and is aiming for a release later this year. Shonku, to be played by thespian Dhritiman Chatterjee, has never been filmed before, unlike Feluda, about whom several movies and television serials have been made. Inspired partly by Arthur Conan Doyle’s Professor Challenger and Hesoram Hushiar, a character created by Ray’s father Sukumar Ray, Shonku is every bit as fascinating as Feluda. He is a polyglot (he knows 69 languages), graduated from college at the age of 16, and started teaching when he was 20. Shonku works out of a laboratory at home where he uses locally available ingredients for his groundbreaking inventions. He keeps a low profile and refuses to share his formulas or inventions because he doesn’t want them to fall into the wrong hands.

  • The Writing in Goopy Bagha
    International Journal of Humanities and Cultural Studies (IJHCS) ISSN 2356-5926 Vol.1, Issue.2, September, 2014 Right(ing) the Writing: An Exploration of Satyajit Ray’s Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne Amrita Basu Haldia Institute of Technology, Haldia, West Bengal, India Abstract The act of writing, owing to the permanence it craves, may be said to be in continuous interaction with the temporal flow of time. It continues to stimulate questions and open up avenues for discussion. Writing people, events and relationships into existence is a way of negotiating with the illusory. But writing falters. This paper attempts a reading of Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne in terms of power politics through the lens of the manipulation of written codes and inscriptions in the film. Identities and cultures are constructed through inscriptions and writings. But in the wrong hands, this medium of communication which has the potential to bring people together may wreck havoc on the social and political system. Writing, or the misuse of it, in the case of the film, reveals the nature of reality as provisional. If writing gives a seal of authenticity to a message, it can also become the casualty of its own creation. Key words: Inscription, Power, Politics, Writing, Social system 1 International Journal of Humanities and Cultural Studies (IJHCS) ISSN 2356-5926 Vol.1, Issue.2, September, 2014 Introduction Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne by Satyajit Ray is a fun film for children of all ages; it ran to packed houses in West Bengal for a record 51 weeks and is considered one of the most commercially successful Ray films.

  • The Humanism of Satyajit Ray, His Last Will and Testament Shantanu Ray Chaudhuri
    AGANTUK – The Humanism of Satyajit Ray, His Last Will And Testament Shantanu Ray Chaudhuri It’s impossible to record the transition in the socio-political and cultural landscape of India in general and Bengal in particular without taking into account the contribution of Satyajit Ray. As author Peter Rainer says, ‘In Ray’s films the old and the new are inextricably joined. This is the great theme of all his movies: the way the past in India forever bleeds through the present.’ Today, Indian cinema, particularly Bollywood, has found a global market. But it may be useful to remember that if anyone can be credited with putting Indian cinema on the world map, it is Satyajit Ray. He pioneered a whole new sensibility about films and filmmaking that compelled the world to reshape its perception of Indian cinema. ‘What we need,’ he wrote in 1947, before he ever directed a film, ‘is a style, an idiom, a part of the iconography of cinema which would be uniquely and recognizably Indian.’ This Still from the documentary, The Music of Satyajit Ray he achieved, and yet, like all great artists, his films went Watch film here- https://bit.ly/3u8orOD beyond the frontiers of countries and cultures. His contribution to the cultural scene in India is limited not just to his work as a director. He was the Renaissance man of independent India. As a film-maker he handled almost all the departments on his own – he wrote the screenplay and dialogues for his film, he composed his own music, designed the promotional material for his films, designed his own posters, went on to handle the cinematography and editing, was actively involved in the costumes (literally sketching each and every costume in a film).
