To make learning easy for the students we have also introduced another initiative by the name "NEWS MAKER OF THE MONTH" which covers all the important people, appointments, awards, etc that have made news. Having covered the GK and CA portion in an exhaustive manner, we have also given equal importance and focus to the other subjects of the exams, be it Reasoning, Quant, English, Banking, Interview Preparation or Guidance and boosting the confidence of students. We have also given Mock Papers on IBPS Specialist Officer, LIC AAO and SSC CGL for practice for our readers, so that they can increase their speed and accuracy. This edition of Magazine also includes a new series named “Twisted Ones” which will have questions with higher difficulty level. We believe that each and every student has the hidden potential to reach the unattainable heights, and it is our responsibility to provide them with a platform that hones their skills enabling them to overcome each and every challenge that comes their way while appearing for these exams.

A common response to identifying lifestyle changes that confidence in their ability to perform tasks. As such, they might make a depressed person feel better is, “Easier said tend to feel overwhelmed and avoid such tasks. Lower than done.” Someone coping with depression may get what expectations for yourself within the task, and envision how she's supposed to do, but the question is how? After all, you (might) feel after the task rather than during. depression kills motivation, energy, interest, and focus. 5. Make the goal to do it, not to enjoy it. Once you give the engine a jump, it often becomes easier, When you’re feeling depressed, it’s natural to lose interest in but until then, how do you connect the jumper cables you things that used to make you happy. Comedy is no longer need to make a spark? funny, sports are no longer fun, spending time with friends is no longer engaging. Anxiety, depression, and self-loathing 1.

So, When you’re depressed, you’re not functioning at your usual when doing something “fun” or “active,” do it with the goal 70-90%. Rather, you’re sitting somewhere closer to 20%. If to do it, not to enjoy it. you set the same expectations for yourself that you had when you weren’t feeling depressed (which is sometimes just 6.

You know what to expect, for the most part. You know the pain, you’re in the pain, you can Set SMALL AND SPECIFIC GOALS. Seriously. Unload the predict that tomorrow will be more of the same. The idea of dishwasher. Heck, unload three glasses. Task completed and stepping out of this comfort zone can be quite anxiety still itching for more? You can always raise the bar if you’re provoking. If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’re feeling particularly motivated. Take note that if you feel always going to get what you’ve always gotten. So, if you find highly overwhelmed while tackling your goal, chances are it's you’re able to do something (even very slightly) different, too high and you need to lower it to something more realistic congratulate yourself. There’s a good chance whatever or specific. you’re experiencing will come with anxiety, because anxiety accompanies uncertainty. Anxiety may be telling you you’re 2. Practice self-compassion. stepping out of the familiar routine of depression, so Self-criticism is depression’s BFF. If you beat yourself up for acknowledge your courage and try to bring such experiences being so “unproductive” and “lazy,” You’re going to keep forward in your journey. yourself feeling like crap and thus, paralyzed. Try instead to use the same encouraging words you might use for a friend or loved one. If you can’t find the words, read more about self-compassion here. 3. Recruit support, or ask for help. Some of us have trouble holding ourselves accountable at the best of times. With little motivation or energy, it’s that much harder. Confide in someone you trust, and ask for their help. Ask a friend to hold you to your commitment. Ask your partner to accompany to a yoga class. Pay for your support group, counseling appointment, or massage beforehand so you’ll be more motivated to attend. 4. Envision how you'll feel after the task. Getting in the shower, going for a walk, preparing a meal, or hanging out with a friend seems like a very ominous task if you focus on the effort involved.

    Strictly embargoed until 19h00 Tuesday 23 February Media release ENHLE IS THE NEW CROWN FOR THE MISS SOUTH AFRICA PAGEANT ________________________________________ Johannesburg, February 23: When Miss South Africa 2016 is announced at Carnival City on March 19 she will be crowned with a brand new glittering masterpiece worthy of her prestigious title. Sun International, in collaboration with Cell C, has unveiled a magnificent crown named Enhle, especially created for the dazzling occasion by Jack Friedman Jewellers. The name, which means "beautiful one" in isiZulu, was chosen through a social media competition which attracted hundreds of entries. A key feature of the crown, which is made of silver, is the inclusion of an infinity sign to symbolise the enormity and ongoing nature of Miss South Africa’s role, not only during her year of reign but into the future. The crown’s three largest stones are sugilite (also called luvulite and sold as the stone of love) which are often associated with royalty thanks to their purple colour. These were mined near Hotazel in the Northern Cape. Other stones used in the crown are amethyst and white quartz crystals. Says Howard Friedman, designer of the crown and owner of Jack Friedman Jewellers: “We chose the materials used in Enhle to be symbolic of Miss South Africa’s reign. Sugilite is believed to have protective and healing properties. We hope that it will keep her safe during her reign as well as help her unite our nation. Amethyst is a stone that works in the emotional, physical and spiritual planes to provide calm, balance, patience and peace.” Says Claudia Henkel, PR Manager: Sun International: “The crown is a real show- stopper and worthy of Miss South Africa.

The History of Badminton: Badminton House and Estate lies in the heart of the Gloucestershire countryside and is the private home of the 12th Duke and Duchess of Beaufort and the Somerset family. The House is not normally open to the general public, it dates from the 17th century and is set in a beautiful deer park which hosts the world-famous Badminton Horse Trials. The Great Hall at Badminton House is famous for an incident on a rainy day in 1863 when the game of badminton was said to have been invented by friends of the 8th Duke of Beaufort.
