                Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining


Every cloud has a silver lining,referring to the darkness that overcomes the shine of hope.In life one faces situations,with no hope no matter how bad the given situation might be,there is light at the end of the tunnel.

It is suitable for somebody who is experiencing a loss at moment.It could be personal or professional.There is a greater purpose in every difficulty if one sees the larger picture      


Every cloud with a silver lining,the dark clouds indicates rain.The area becomes cloudy and dark.It is also an indication that the next day,the area will be better place for life at sunrise.Humans have faced several dark days.They tend to wonder when sunlight will fall on them.The problems will disappear one day in life.

                   

  • Dark clouds are like problems that obstruct the good feelings in your life.

  • The proverb peeks at the idea that if there is a problem,the the solution is just waiting to be found.

  • The wheel of luck never stays static in misery or prosperity,and it is ever-changing

  • Continually dealing with troubles make people more strong and understanding.
                               


Every bad situation has some good aspect in life. Life is not only mixtures of ups and downs but its also filled with challenges to win and fear to loose. It is always possible to get something positive out of any situation no matter how much tough the conditions might be, there is always a way out of it. The dark clouds are the symbol of difficulty and misfortune and the silver lining is the hope for progress.

Health & Fitness



    
      You're Never Too Old to Start Enjoying The Benefits of Being Physically Active
             

                 “Aches, pains and health issues are just a part of getting older.”
                                “I’m too old to start exercising now.”
You’ve likely heard these statements at some point in your life, and maybe you’ve even started to repeat them as you've gotten older. Common as they are, these statements are more like myths. You can improve your physical well-being in your older adult years even if you’ve never exercised before.It’s not how old you are, it’s how much you move.
Choose activities that you enjoy, which will make it much easier for you to stick with your exercise routine. Get your family involved by going on a hike or a walk around the neighborhood. Dance with your grand kids in the kitchen, play a game of pickle ball with friends or go for a swim at your nearby gym. Willpower will only get you so far, so find a way to make exercise a new routine for your daily life. Reward yourself for exercising so you’re motivated to do it again. The earlier you start the better, so start today.
          Fun At Home Workouts for Kids

As “shelter in place” orders have been instituted around the world due to Covid-19 parents and children alike have struggled to adjust to the confinement and disruption of a “new normal.” Young athletes accustomed to attending practices, games, and other physical-activity outlets have been forced to take their training into their own hands despite having few resources to guide them.
This unplanned break from competition has coaches, parents and young athletes worried that kids will lose the skills they have developed and will have to regress significantly when things return to normal. While there is no substitute for competition within a sport, taking time away from competition to develop foundational skills involved with coordination, strength, agility and other components of athleticism can actually create long-term advantages.
Running. Running is just about the simplest form of exercise there is, and it's perfect for kids. They love it!
Jumping. Get those feet up and off the ground for easy exercise that kids will want to do. Jumps build muscle strength, cardiovascular fitness, and endurance.  
 Squats and Lunges. You do them, and kids can do them too: Bend those knees (but not too far) for squats and lunges! 

At-Home Exercise Routines for Busy Parents



Modern life can make it challenging for parents to find the time to squeeze in          workout.When combined with a global pandemic that brings new sources of stress, 
     added    responsibilities and stay-at-home orders, exercise can feel like a Herculean task. 

Here’s some good news: Working out a home doesn’t have to be boring! There are
 lots of ways to get your heart rate up and have fun in the process. The following two sample workouts can be done almost anywhere and are appropriate for both adults
 and school-age children.
  1. Chairs – Go over, around or under chairs. 
  2. Pillows – Practice balance by standing on pillows. 
  3. Plastic cups and tupper ware – Place on the floor for makeshift cones. 
  4. Blankets – Use on non-carpeted floors to push and pull participants or objects. Blankets can also be draped over chairs for tunnels. 
  5.  Sidewalk chalk – Draw agility ladders, lines or arrows to follow, baseball bases or hopscotch squares. 
  6. Tape – Can't go outside? Use tape to mark areas indoors.  
  7.  Cardboard boxes – Create quick tunnels to crawl through or use small cardboard boxes.

Google glass

                            Google Glass





Google Glass is a wearable, voice-controlled Android device that resembles a pair of eyeglasses and displays information directly in the user's field of vision.
Google Glass is a wearable computer with an optical head-mounted display (OHMD) that is being developed by Google in the Project Glass research and development project.

Google Glass offers an augmented reality experience by using visual, audio and location-based inputs to provide relevant information. For example, upon entering an airport, a user could automatically receive flight status information. Users can also control the device manually through voice commands and a touchpad located on its frame.

OHMD and AR

Optical Head-Mounted Display (OHMD)
An OHMD is a wearable display that has the capability of reflecting 
projected images as well as allowing the user to see through it.

Augmented Reality(AR)
Augmented reality (AR) is a live, copy, view of a physical, real-world 
environment whose elements are augmented (or supplemented) by 
computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS 
data.
E.g. Nokia City Lens

Development 

•Glass is being developed by Google X, which has worked on other 
  futuristic technologies such as driverless cars.
Around August 2011, a Glass prototype weighed 8 pounds (3,600 g).
Glass was initially projected to be available to the public for "around the 
  cost of current smartphones" by the end of 2012.
The Explorer Edition is available to testers and Google I/O developers in 
  the United States for $1,500, starting in April 2013.
The product began testing in April 2012.
In May 2012, Glass was demonstrated in the first test video shot with the 
  eyewear, demonstrating the 720p HD first-person video recording 
  capabilities of the device.
The new models were to be available to testers before the end of 2013.
In October 2013, speculation emerged that Glass will be marketed in stores 
  located on floating barges that will be towed from city to city.

Applications
Google Glass applications are free applications built by third-party 
developers. Glass also uses many existing Google applications, such 
as Google NowGoogle MapsGoogle+, and Gmail. Many 
developers and companies have built applications for Glass, 
including news apps, facial recognition, exercise, photo 
manipulation, translation, and sharing to social networks, such 
as Facebook and Twitter.

MyGlass

Google offers a companion Android and iOS app called MyGlass, which allows the user to configure and manage the device.[

Voice activation

Other than the touchpad, Google Glass can be controlled using 
just "voice actions". To activate Glass, wearers tilt their heads 30° 
upward (which can be altered for preference) or simply tap the 
touchpad, and say "O.K., Glass." Once Glass is activated, wearers 
can say an action, such as "Take a picture", "Record a video", 
"Hangout with [person/Google+ circle]",

In hospitals

Augmedix developed an app for the wearable device that allows 
physicians to live-stream the patient visit and claims it will 
eliminate electronic health record problems, possibly saving them 
up to 15 hours a week and improving record quality. The 
video stream is passed to remote scribes in HIPAA secure rooms 
where the doctor-patient interaction is transcribed.

MOBILE APPLICATIONS


Definition - What does Mobile Application (MobileApp)mean?
A mobile application, most commonly referred to as an app, is a type of application software designed to run on a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet computer. Mobile applications frequently serve to provide users with similar services to those accessed on PCs. Apps are generally small, individual software units with limited function. This use of app software was originally popularized by Apple Inc. and its App Store, which offers thousands of applications for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
A mobile application also may be known as an app, web app, online app, iPhone app or smartphone app.

Techopedia explains Mobile Application (Mobile App)

Mobile applications are a move away from the integrated software systems generally found on PCs. Instead, each app provides limited and isolated functionality such as a game, calculator or mobile web browsing. Although applications may have avoided multitasking because of the limited hardware resources of the early mobile devices, their specificity is now part of their desirability because they allow consumers to hand-pick what their devices are able to do.
The simplest mobile apps take PC-based applications and port them to a mobile device. As mobile apps become more robust, this technique is somewhat lacking. A more sophisticated approach involves developing specifically for the mobile environment, taking advantage of both its limitations and advantages. For example, apps that use location-based features are inherently built from the ground up with an eye to mobile given that the user does not have the same concept of location on a PC.
