The American Dream is a term which signifies the aspirational quality of the majority of the people who live in America. If there is one thing Americans are known for, it is their ability to dream big. However, setting your eyes on a particular goal is not enough. You should have the conviction and the gumption to achieve it. Very few have that quality. Chase McAnear was one such individual. At the age of 18, he planned on setting up an empire and by the time he reached the age of 21, he had managed to accomplish that, but this was just the beginning. 

When eighteen year old Chase informed his parents about his decision to skip college and get into the real estate business, they threw him out to fend for himself hoping that it would put some sense into his head. Instead of breaking his spirit, being homeless and penniless strengthened Chase’s determination and made him pursue his dreams more seriously. He faced a lot of difficulties during this phase of his life but never once did the thought of giving up on his dreams come to him. After passing the real estate licensing test he bought and sold several properties for two years and then, decided to start his own real estate company. During this time, he regained the confidence and faith of his parents who regretted not lending him support in the past.

After successfully establishing Lux Properties his “Hybrid Real Estate Company,” Chase ventured into other areas of business. He went on to open four other companies, all of which are doing very well.  He sees this time as a redemption stage in his life. He feels like the first part of his life didn’t hold much value. Now, he works every day to progress physically, mentally, spiritually, and especially financially. 

McAnear has much more in the works, but decides to hold those plans close to the chest.  In the near future, keep an eye out for what this driven mogul is doing. Any Individual who can go from homeless to a Multi-Millionaire in less than 3 years is someone to pay attention to. Chase McAnear is something the world hasn’t seen yet. Chase McAnear is the true definition of a “Self-Made Entrepreneur.”

In the early high school years, Rich invested his energy performing at events, bars, TV programs, and for the family. His devotion to magic was as powerful as his eagerness for martial arts, as he continued making new effects and honed his skills.

At the point when Rich turned 13, he began practicing Kenpo Karate and accomplished his Black Belt in four years alongside teaching at the nearby school. In the wake of his exposure to martial arts, he made up his mind to perform for the public and travelled to New York City to master skills in the styles of Wing Chun Kung Fu, Shaolin Kung Fu, and various weapons where he worked under the direction of Shaolin Monks. Rich received a black belt in two particular styles of Kung Fu and travelled to Los Angeles for an international martial arts contest at the age of 19 years old.

The health and fitness industry now becoming a major part of people’s lives is witnessing tremendous growth in the market. In competition, many individuals strive to develop and maintain an aesthetically pleasing body and balanced physique but fail to do so because of their modern hectic lifestyles.

As a solution through marvels of modern technology, Jarrah Martin, a fitness trainer brought an online alternative which is quite similar to live fitness training at a gym or other facilities. The idea is to provide quick and easy access to professional training, health and fitness recommendations tailored to an individual’s needs and physical condition to the comfort of their homes.

Speaking about fitness, Jarrah, said, “Social media community is supportive and a motivational way to track down fitness goals. I have used it by myself first. Impressed by the results the idea came to providing online training space to help educate as many people in this world and to make it a profession”.

“Online fitness is bringing a change in the lifestyle to people through platforms like social media and online websites which provide the perfect way to reach and interact with the whole world”, he added.

To get into the industry, Jarrah trained himself for 10 years. With a strict diet and training, he feels that diet plays a massive role when it comes to staying in shape.

Mentioning about supplements and other fitness gurus, Jarrah says, “Fitness is a structural thing. There are way too many fitness gurus out there influencing people with new methods and hints to get fit which is complicating people’s mind.” “On the other hand, Supplement industry has a bad name in it as it brings so much in front of people that they get confused. I also take them as they work but the industry is totally looking up for the revenue”

Online fitness training is the best way to receive professional guidance. It brings the flexibility of being able to work out when and where possible. The service is ideal for people who work full-time or travel regularly. It works great for individuals trying to manage conditions like obesity, depression, generalized anxiety, or phobias, who can benefit from engaging in physical activity in a safe, judgment-free environment.

New Delhi : Hitting two birds with one stone, a group of Indian scientists have come up with a new process which promises to help utilize black carbon soot, which is a major air pollutant, for treating industrial waste containing highly poisonous organic dyes. 

The scientists have developed two techniques: one to convert black soot into graphene nanosheets, and the second to utilize the nanosheets to remove organic dyes such as crystal violet, rhodamine B, and methylene blue from industrial waste. 

Black carbon soot is emitted from gas and diesel engines, coal-fired power plants and other processes that involve burning of fossil fuel. It is known to be highly carcinogenic. Organic dyes, in turn, are an important component of industrial waste and are generally non-biodegradable and deadly. They enter water bodies and make them not only unfit for human consumption but also highly poisonous. 

Treatment of waste water with organic dyes has remained a major challenge. The currently available methods are generally costly and cumbersome. According to the scientists involved in the development of the new process, it would offer a cost-effective and sustainable solution. 

Speaking to India Science Wire, Kumud Malika Tripathi, one of the co-authors of the study, said “the technique we have developed for synthesizing Graphene nanosheets from black-soot is very easy, quick and economical. Black soot is available everywhere and even a lay person can convert it into Graphene nanosheets at home. The second process of utilizing the nanosheets for treating the waste water is also not very complicated. One just had to put the nanosheets into industrial waste water, in the presence of sunlight. The dyes in the water are broken down into simpler and harmless elements and are subsequently isolated.”

The scientists tested the sustainability and the suitability of the overall process by using the treated water for growing wheat. “Seeds which had been germinated for 24 hours were used. Their growth was normal and healthy as compared to those grown with untreated water”. 

The research team comprised of Gunture, Anupriya Singh, Anshu Bhati, Prateek Khare and Sumit Kumar Sonkar, from Department of Chemistry at Malaviya National Institute of Technology, Jaipur, besides Kumud Malika Tripathy, who is from Department of Bio-nanotechnology at Gachen University, South Korea. They have published a report on their work has been published in the journal Scientific Reports.

Lakhan Arjun Rawat is touted as the next big thing of Indian Cricket. The 21-year-old cricketer made his list A debut for Manipur in 2018-19 Vijay Hazare Trophy on 19^th September 2018 and his first-class debut for Manipur in the 2018-19 Ranji Trophy on 1st November 2018.

The soft-spoken right-hander was in an exclusive interview. Here are the excerpts:

Tell us about your childhood dreams and how you start your cricket journey?

I belong from Bulandshahr, a small city in Uttar Pradesh. Completed my schooling from Nirmal Convent DPS, Bulandshahr. Recalling the times when I was hardly 5-6 years old, cricket was one of the most recognised sports and my father used to watch each match on the television. Inspired by everything happening around, I started playing Gully Cricket all day and night. Slowly my father realised my passion for the sport and took me to my first coach, Munesh Giri. He trained me for almost 5 years. I played at different junior level tournaments all my childhood.

What was the turning point in your life?

After my early years in Bulandshahr, I went to Meerut for further training under well-acknowledged coaches, Sanjay Rastogi and Vipin Vats. Moved to Greater Noida and performed in a few local tournaments. This gave me the confidence to get into under 19 squads in 2015. I won up the title that year.

But my fate decided something else, I suffered through a major injury the very next year which cost me 1.5 years of my career.

Who was your coach? How did you make a comeback?

My biggest strength became my forever coach Mr Ajay Raj. He spent 4-5 hours daily for my training and even shifted his base from Bulandshahar to greater Noida just for me.

Making a comeback I joined up Ranji Probables Team and played against Jammu and Kashmir. I was the first person called as professional for a Ranji Team after selectors got impressed by the videos I posted of my batting against J&K.

How was your experience in Ranji Matches?

After scoring a needy 70 in my Ranji debut I followed it by another 82 in the next match against Uttarakhand. Two matches went on a low and again I smashed a 60 odd in the fourth innings of our match again Nagaland to take my team home. In the 5 matches, I played I scored three 50+ scores.

Being an aggressive batsman I am aiming for IPL at the moment and have been in contacts with a few teams.

What gives you strength and inspiration to keep up with the struggle?

My parents are my biggest strength. We are very open to each other and share a strong bond. My mother helped me come out of depression when I was recovering from injury. Seeing me struggling and in tension, she introduced yoga in my life, she made sure I wake up at 4:30 AM daily for meditation and the results were beyond imagination.

My father is always excited about my matches he keeps an eye on all my matches and performances. They have sacrificed a lot. Even though major financial breakdowns in my family, they made sure I have all the necessities no matter how and they never let me suffer from any crisis.

I can never compensate for the efforts that they made for me. By gods blessing, we have overcome it all and took a giant step progressing. I hand all my match fees and income to my mother. My father always used to say, “JO AANSU BAHANE SE NA MILE, WO PASEENA BAHANE SE ZARUR MILTA HAI” these words gives me inspiration. They motivate me to work harder whenever things are not in our favour 

Based on your experience what would you like to convey to the other players

“Cricket is a hard work game but luck plays a big role”, it’s always practical to have some backup. I have seen things turning around in a day or two. My friends and players who were struggling to make it into state squads, now have India Caps. That how it goes.

A little request to all the cricket lovers, your team always play hard to keep up to your expectations, please be a little calm and understand the highs and lows a cricket player or any sportsperson faces. We respect the support you provide in our highs, just don’t give up on us in our lows. We work really hard to keep up your expectations.

Last I would like to say, “be it life or cricket ise jitna simple banakar rakhoge utna enjoy kar sakoge otherwise i have seen people and myself too getting in complications and making things difficult out of nowhere”.

Yesterday, the Election Commission announced the dates for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.  The voting will take place in seven phases between April 11, 2019 to May 19, 2019.  With this announcement, the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) has comes into force.  In this blog, we outline the key features of the MCC. 

What is the Model Code of Conduct and who does it apply to?

The MCC is a set of guidelines issued by the Election Commission to regulate political parties and candidates prior to elections, to ensure free and fair elections. This is in keeping with Article 324 of the Constitution, which gives the Election Commission the power to supervise elections to the Parliament and state legislatures. The MCC is operational from the date that the election schedule is announced till the date that results are announced.  Thus, for the general elections this year, the MCC came into force on March 10, 2019, when the election schedule was announced, and will operate till May 23, 2019, when the final results will be announced. 

How has the Model Code of Conduct evolved over time? 

According to a Press Information Bureau release, a form of the MCC was first introduced in the state assembly elections in Kerala in 1960.  It was a set of instructions to political parties regarding election meetings, speeches, slogans, etc. In the 1962 general elections to the Lok Sabha, the MCC was circulated to recognised parties, and state governments sought feedback from the parties. The MCC was largely followed by all parties in the 1962 elections and continued to be followed in subsequent general elections.  In 1979, the Election Commission added a section to regulate the ‘party in power’ and prevent it from gaining an unfair advantage at the time of elections.  In 2013, the Supreme Court directed the Election Commission to include guidelines regarding election manifestos, which it had included in the MCC for the 2014 general elections. 

What are the key provisions of the Model Code of Conduct?

The MCC contains eight provisions dealing with general conduct, meetings, processions, polling day, polling booths, observers, party in power, and election manifestos.  Major provisions of the MCC are outlined below.

• General Conduct:  Criticism of political parties must be limited to their policies and programmes, past record and work.  Activities such as: (a) using caste and communal feelings to secure votes, (b) criticising candidates on the basis of unverified reports, (c) bribing or intimidation of voters, and (d) organising demonstrations or picketing outside houses of persons to protest against their opinions, are prohibited.
• Meetings:  Parties must inform the local police authorities of the venue and time of any meeting in time to enable the police to make adequate security arrangements.
• Processions:  If two or more candidates plan processions along the same route, organisers must establish contact in advance to ensure that the processions do not clash.  Carrying and burning effigies representing members of other political parties is not allowed.
• Polling day:  All authorised party workers at polling booths should be given identity badges.  These should not contain the party name, symbol or name of the candidate.
• Polling booths:  Only voters, and those with a valid pass from the Election Commission, will be allowed to enter polling booths.
• Observers:  The Election Commission will appoint observers to whom any candidates may report problems regarding the conduct of the election.
• Party in power:  The MCC incorporated certain restrictions in 1979, regulating the conduct of the party in power.  Ministers must not combine official visits with election work or use official machinery for the same.  The party must avoid advertising at the cost of the public exchequer or using official mass media for publicity on achievements to improve chances of victory in the elections.  Ministers and other authorities must not announce any financial grants, or promise any construction of roads, provision of drinking water, etc.   Other parties must be allowed to use public spaces and rest houses and these must not be monopolised by the party in power.
• Election manifestos:  Added in 2013, these guidelines prohibit parties from making promises that exert an undue influence on voters, and suggest that manifestos also indicate the means to achieve promises.

What changes have been recommended in relation to the MCC since the last general elections?

In 2015, the Law Commission in its report on Electoral Reforms, noted that the MCC prohibits the issue of advertisement at the cost of public exchequer in newspapers/media during the election period.  However, it observed that since the MCC comes into operation only from the date on which the Commission announces elections, the government can release advertisements prior to the announcement of elections.  It noted that this gives an advantage to the ruling party to issue government sponsored advertisements that highlights its achievements, which gives it an undue advantage over other parties and candidates.  Therefore, the Commission recommended that a restriction should be imposed on government-sponsored advertisements for up to six months prior to the date of expiry of the House/Assembly.  However, it stated that an exception may be carved out for advertisements highlighting the government’s poverty alleviation programmes or any health related schemes.

Is the Model Code of Conduct legally binding? 

The MCC is not enforceable by law.  However, certain provisions of the MCC may be enforced through invoking corresponding provisions in other statutes such as the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, and Representation of the People Act, 1951. The Election Commission has argued against making the MCC legally binding; stating that elections must be completed within a relatively short time (close to 45 days),  and judicial proceedings typically take longer, therefore it is not feasible to make it enforceable by law. On the other hand, in 2013, the Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances, Law and Justice, recommended making the MCC legally binding.  In a report on electoral reforms, the Standing Committee observed that most provisions of the MCC are already enforceable through corresponding provisions in other statutes, mentioned above.  It recommended that the MCC be made a part of the Representation of the People Act, 1951.
