Engineered Body

During my school days I would play cricket, badminton and volleyball.  I was a fast bowler then a leg spinner and then an off spinner in cricket. We had a team of 6-7 boys and we were beaten by other teams in our area. Normally we used to play for ball as a bet. Both the teams will put money to buy a ball and the winning team would take the ball. I also played badminton and I realized there were many guys better than me. During my senior secondary school life(16 to 18 years), we played volleyball. Volleyball games were enjoyable as there was more team involvement.
Later after getting a job, I learnt yoga from international famed Sivananda-Vishnu Devananda Yoga Centre. More recently I learnt "The Art of Living" from Sri Sri Ravishankar disciples.
Now I am into gym. I was into jogging for about 3 years. Though jogging helped me in getting some stamina, the results were not phenomenal.
I like being mentally prepared before everyday gym workouts. I applied my knowledge to gym workouts to help me do better.
Hydraulics are more suitable to explain weight workouts. I realized that muscles are always used just as the hydraulic mechanism is always on. But I think slow twitch fibers in muscles are used in this phase. But like in hydraulics where direction has to be given to hydraulic oil for lifting and bull dozing activities; in our body we need to concentrate and use the correct muscles for weight training. During this phase fast twitch muscle fibers are also used(apart from slow twitch muscle fibers).
Electricals explain cardio activities better. There is a need for residual magnetism for motor to work. In a body there has to be a little glycogen stored to begin cardio. If the components in motor are better in magnetic properties then the motor performs better. In a body if the blood (magnet) mechanism is better then it will do cardio better. Better blood mechanism will mean
1) Clean blood devoid of toxins.
2) Unclogged arteries and veins.
3) Stronger heart.
4) Efficient lungs to clean blood better.
The motor coupled to mechanics will work best when alignment is good. Similarly in a body the legs have to be suitably used to get better results. However wrong alignment, does not mean an inefficient motor. Only the results will not be good to see or brag about.
Improvements are difficult to come by in gym. And one needs to improve every day to get best results. Usually I improve on mental perception and mental motivation. Body improvements are possible if we improve on some of the points written above. And these have to guided by the body heat laws . . .

 

India and Indians - A Complete Solution

Figure 1

 

 

 



 

Figure 2

We, Indians have a tendency to consider certain things positive. And certain things negative. As an example, education is considered positive while white collar jobs is considered negative. 

When we  say Education (Positive Harmony) we may say books is Positive Factor 1 and intelligence is Positive Factor 2. Together books and intelligence causes positive harmony.

Take the case of white collar jobs. We may say Gossip is Negative Factor 1 and Politics is Negative Factor 2. Together gossip and playing politics causes negative harmony.

In a circle there is positive and negative. Also I have considered this to be one aspect of thought and therefore one circle(Figure 1).

This might result in two parallel lines at the centre. Whether two parallel lines or one line? We tend to treat things positive and negative and therefore from our thoughts the line has two distinct sides. Hence parallel line is appropriate. Is this how the equal to symbol originated? I wonder.

The problem with this approach of thinking is we may tend to become lonely. We may be at the center with things happening all around.

What is the solution?

Our brain has two sides imaginative side and precise side.

If we manage one aspect say education with full imagination and white collar job with precision ; we would have dealt with our considered education energy and white collar energy effectively (Figure 2). Because we are humans and we can only think this way.

And this is precisely the way I lead my life. I try to be precise on matters I consider positive. I use imagination and allow myself to go on things i consider negative.

I am attaching images of worksheet which will help you in self development using my principles.
For your benefit you can convert this image files to pdf. And then take a printout of this pdf. Take time to fill up this worksheet. It will only benefit you.

 

 

 









Is Master-Detail Data Structure with back Procedures Enough?

Yes, it is enough to store numbers and data.
The reason is the mathematical constant e, which is the accepted method of dealing with numbers. e also has a logic to it and follows the binary tree structure(similar to master-detail). There need not be one e, the start-up. But many.  Another e starting up later is a practical reality. This gives me the confidence to say that "Master-Detail Data Structure with back Procedures is enough" for dealing with numbers and data.
But does it explain the real world scenario. It does not. OOPS (Object Oriented Programming System) is better here. OOPS has been accepted as the best paradigm for software development. And therefore a OOPS system with Master-Detail screens and back procedures is ideal.
What I am recommending here is the package "Visual Studio Lightswitch" for company packages. It is OOPS. It has master-detail. You may have database triggers for procedures.
It is essential to have standardised packages for development of software. And I am taking the risk in educating people about its usefulness.
I wish every system follow this system and take software development to great heights.

Latest Hardware Additions

 

 

I bought Soleus health band. It has features like time, date, step monitor, calorie monitor, sleep monitor, exercise monitor and phone call details syncing.

 

I thought it will go well with Google Nexus tab. Windows phone do not support Soleus. But Google Nexus tab does not work with Soleus Go app. And this app is needed for my Soleus Go Activity Tracker. Also Samsung 10.1 did not work for Soleus Go app.

 

So what did I do? Got for myself a Moto-X. That is what you see in the picture above. I was a customer of Motorola earlier during 1G stages or 2G stages. So Motorola was an obvious choice. And Moto-X because of useful Google Now integration.

 

The Soleus app and the Soleus Go Activity Tracker finally managed to be synced. (Without app, activity trackers are not useful. It is difficult to read from the small panel and requires many button pushes.) . So how is it? Great !! The steps are beautifully graphed and detailed. The exercise section too. The weight session is marked with jerky bars in chart. The sleep section is also mapped. Did you know that sleep is of two levels. Deep sleep and low sleep. They alternate. There is another kind of sleep just before your waking up. If paired, then the health band will also tell you if a phone arrives.

Paired means phone Bluetooth on.

 

I really like this device. It can act as a watch. Go ahead and buy to lead a healthy life.

 



The Cartoonist - A Short Story

Asif Mirza Sulalabad was happy with the cartoon he just finished. The lines were bold, the shadings perfect, the depth appropriate and above all the humour acidic.
He was thankful to almighty Allah for the generous gift bestowed to him. He kissed his right hand in gratitude and uttered prayers for thanks. His innate desire was to change the society by powerful cartoons with clear cut sharp messages.
He took out the brown bandhgala from the almirah and wore it. It was cold outside and the bandhgala would be just fine, he felt. He left the house to buy a loaf of bread and eggs for his morning breakfast. He had the habit of talking with the shopowner Harsh Mastana on local and national issues.
Asif broke the ice with an innocuous,"From 15 rupees to 20 rupees, the cost of bread has risen. The government seems to be blind."
Harsh was cool and said,"The democracy setup has to feed millions. The hoarders are like hawks waiting for an opportunity. But the economy rises. People have more money and therefore the price rise is justified."
Asif, "Really. Amazing how the democracy works. You must be getting more margin. And I wonder what the police is planning for hoarders."
Harsh, "I need more money. But I loose track of margin because of the number of items I buy. About Police, I do not have any idea. I think they want to crack on the hoarders."
Asif,"Police care for their uniform only. There are eccentrics who take the uniform issue personally and beats thieves with danda. The uniform is their pride."
Harsh, "Danda is best hit with one hand. But one hand means more talent. Dexterous, they say. So it means 50%. And hence unsuitable for democracy."
Asif,"Oh !! That was a fine way of looking, I must say. So will it mean that the right hand that I kissed because of my cartooning results in being undemocratic?"
Harsh,"Allah has given brains too. You need to think over. But yes, talented means undemocratic. "
Asif hands over 100 rupees to Harsh and leaves absent mindedly . . .

Cartooning with Calligraphy pens- The Diagonal

When I was a kid I was not clear what area of art should I follow. Water Colour painting, Sketching or Cartoons. As time went by I became clear. I decided on cartoons. I was also interested in engineering. To be frank, I am not much into music. Though I loved film songs.
Cartoons are great. You do not have to worry much about proportions. I thought I had a sense of humour and therefore cartooning will be more suitable.
I recently realised the importance of perspective in cartoons and angle of view from "Cartooning For Dummies".
Here are the new additions to my cartooning kit.

I bought for myself Calligraphy Pens(Japanese) and also a Parker set. I bought the Japanese pens earlier. They are easy. Parker refused to work and I had to look into Internet to make the ink flow from cartridges to the nib.
Why calligraphy pens for cartooning? Because from the internet sites cartooning pens looked to me like calligraphy pens. That's why.
The hair and shoes in the cartoon showing a man has been done by slanting the broad diagonal tip of pen. The thin lines by keeping the tip appropriately of a less broad pen.

Extension by 3 more months

I have extended my gym schedule further. By 3 more months. Till December.
At the gym, I plan to do

Chest Press or Pec Fly alternated.
Wrist Curl Lifts or Biceps Curls alternated.
Lateral Pull Down or Shoulder Lifts alternated.
Leg Curls Sitting or Leg Curls Lying alternated.

Ellipticals for cardio.

Abs exercises to end with.

At home, I do dumbells (if time permits; about 3 times a week).

Biceps Curls, Shoulder lifts, Triceps Back lifts, Bench Presses, Heel Lifts with 10kg pair.
Wrist Curls, Arms side raises with 5kg pair.
Squats and Abs exercises.

I do foam rolling after dumbbells, at home.

My unconscious aim seems to be improving athleticism. This means maximising strength by fat ratio. Machines are good for athletic improvement. More than barbells and dumbbells. Because machines work on group muscles. My superconscious drive is the confidence to maintain Pythagorean harmony in my body. My near future wish in athletic achievement would be to finish 10km in 45 minutes.
