Pannalalji Lalchandji Rakhecha My beloved mother who truly redefined love & care Late Bhikibai Pannalalji Rakhecha 4 Preface A person, who is possessed of supreme knowledge controls the senses with concentration & awareness, like spirited steeds controlled by a charioteer. Importance of education was observed from the ancient and historical days all over the world. There used to be Gurukul, the school established by Saints in the forest. One of the three segments of the life, the childhood used to be dedicated for learning, earning knowledge and acquiring the skills so that rest of the life becomes enjoyable and happy not only for oneself but for the living kind. Education helps an individual to be able so as to contribute for the well being of the society across globe. It is well known that person keeps learning throughout the life, during childhood till old age. Learning based on studying the basic, then acquiring skills and later knowledge. Management of study is a science to be learnt as well as an art to be practiced. Methodology of study varies from individual. Planning for the study also plays extremely important role as well. There is so much to study so priorities and utilization of the time appropriately becomes of vital importance. It is important to understand own personality, liking and aspirations. It is to know what you would like to do throughout life without frustrating, without bothering about money and without tiring. Out of hundreds of choices it is critical to select the right one, compatible to yourself. Education is the fundamental right for everyone. Considering this noble principle, several institutes and trusts have been supporting & sponsoring the education for the needy via scholarships & interest free loans. In the era of information technology one can reach to the detailed information however consolidation of such information is extremely useful. The total configuration of ideals, practices, and conduct is called Dharma (Religion, Virtue or Duty). To live contended life is said to be a challenge. It’s a race. Many are struggling to find a rightful solution, how do you handle it? Few say it is complex but who makes it complex? There are few fundamental principles guide to live life peacefully, happy, enjoyable and useful. If one implements those religiously then surely life becomes too simple to live & extremely happy as well This book is an attempt to share important tips and information for all above. Surely it would be useful guide. I request you to try deeply understanding & implementing the same. Higher education is the base to build wonderful career. Author has sincerely attempted to share his experiences and brief reading related to education, profession and life. One may learn and be wise, either not to repeat if it is a mistake and follow if it is a great tip to make life smoother & happier. I wish you all the best for your education, career and further life. Nemichand Karnavat Pune, Dated 2 Oct 2018 5 Why you MUST be different? What makes you different?

Sunita Williams to Onizuka Space Science Day 2016, scheduled from 8:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. Saturday, March 5 in Marsee Auditorium and science classrooms. The event is free and open to serious-minded science students in grades five through 12. Sponsored by El Camino College and American Honda Motor Co., Inc. and coordinated by the ECC Astronaut Ellison Onizuka Memorial Committee, the youth science day is dedicated to Ellison Onizuka, a Space Shuttle Challenger astronaut who perished along with six other crew members during the tragic events of 1986. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger accident. Guest astronaut Williams, who has spent a total of 322 days in space and holds the record for total spacewalk time by a female astronaut, will give a presentation and answer audience questions. Williams began training with NASA in 1998, and then worked in Moscow with the Russian Space Agency on the Russian contribution to the space station and with the first Expedition Crew. After other assignments, she served as Deputy Chief of the Astronaut Office. She then supported a long-duration mission as flight engineer for Expedition 32 and International Space Station commander for Expedition 33.

To kindle the spirit of human exploration, we must invest in our future through education and educators. At every level and across every discipline, teachers inspire and prepare the next generation of tomorrow’s leaders and explorers to shape the course of humankind. I hope you enjoy this calendar featuring highlights over 15 years of human presence onboard the space station. I also hope it will inspire you and your students to learn more about the ISS and its contribution to humanity and what can be accomplished through peaceful global collaboration.

But many interdisciplinary projects will be much more like explorations of virgin territory, so the answers to some of these questions will not be knowable in detail before setting out. There will also be solo expe- ditions which may raise different challenges. In general, several key steps need to be taken: ● First, a decision has to be made as to whether the research project actually needs to be interdisciplinary in order to advance its goals. ● Then, either a suitable collaborative team needs to be assembled, with selection informed by an understanding of different disciplines’ approaches and assumptions and an awareness of the importance of skills, expertise and personality, or the individual concerned needs to ensure that they already have, or can acquire, the interdisciplinary capacity to do the research.

Investments in education guide and inspire our children and equip them to shape the world, for their own generation, as influenced by what they have learned. At every educational level and across every discipline, teachers prepare the scientists and engineers, accountants and artists, philosophers and diplomats who sway the course of humankind and demonstrate what educated and motivated individuals, communities and nations can do. Developed by five partner agencies representing 15 nations, the International Space Station (ISS) is a wonder of scientific research and multi-national cooperation. Over 1500 experiments have been conducted by researchers from 68 countries expanding humanity’s knowledge from a microcellular level to a planetary scale and beyond. Discoveries made aboard the space station have enabled life-saving robotic surgery techniques, led to water purification technologies for remote communities, and improved remote sensing techniques to significantly increase crop yields.
