Capital Commentary

Many psychologists in the world believe that, the environment around us speaks a lot about our personality. This includes our home and office too. There are many who love cleaning, but many people don’t like it at all. But do you know that these habits can say very much about your mental level. Let’s know what the habit tells you about.

Entire luggage in the cupboard – Many of you will be like those who do not clean their wardrobe for months. The house does not look bad from outside because such people put everything in the closet and close it and when they need something, then these people get stuck in trouble. The house of such people looks very clean and systematic at first sight but as soon as you see their kitchens, rooms or bathroom almirah and boxes, you will see everything is so messy. Such people are of dramatic personality. They show themselves very different from outside but their truth is different from inside.

Old house – Many people are living the same way/condition in their home, that were years ago. Such people like painting or other creative hobby/profession. When they do their work in house it makes their house look messy. They put their work stuff anywhere or everywhere in the house. They don’t look after the house much. They do it once in a while as changing the things won’t work at some times. Their house is not dirty but due to the creative thinking and work they just concentrate on their work more than the cleanliness of the house. Such people believe in the future, they dream that what is today will change suddenly and that is why they do not correct the situation today. These people do not have any solid plans for their life.

Work place – In-house workplace is considered to be the best place to work. It should be in a quiet place and a clean place, but sometimes the household things are scattered on some people’s desks. There is nothing which is arranged. Such people are extremely creative and inventor. If you have a habit of working with some writing, doing painting or doing some other work, and because of this, many things are scattered on your desk, it may not be liked by other people, but it shows a great quality of your personality. Such people are rich in art. They have new ideas.

Messy bathroom – When you see someone’s bathroom is so messy, then there must be a laundry bag full of dirty clothes and the sink is also full of water. Such people put all the dirty clothes in the laundry bag and put it in a corner. They think that they are making the bathroom clean but it’s the opposite. They have a lot of trouble cleaning them. Such people are the ones who are defiant. This shows laziness in life, they know what they are doing but still wants to ride on the same path. They always have some excuse for everything, which they are not doing due to their laziness.

An empty house – Many times when we visit someone’s house, we feel that nobody is living in the house. As there are not enough things in the house which makes four walls a house. There is neither much furniture nor kitchen accessories in the house. There are many people whose home looks like they just come here to relax and want to forget the world around them. It shows the state of the brain in which the person is immature. The mature person always believes in making the house the first place to visit to live a life. As the person grows up they want to have all the comfort at one place, and that is the place they want to visit most.

“Conquering space was a major event for humanity. Undermining that can shake the very foundations of science and man’s mastery of nature”

It was the biggest piece of supposed fake news before the term “fake news” was even invented. Millions of people around the world still believe that no one has ever walked on the surface of the Moon. The images that the NASA broadcast in July 1969 were shot in a Hollywood studio. Thousands of websites on the internet are devoted to seemingly proving that the landing on The Moon never happened. Same as that there is only one picture of Moon from space taken a long time ago, and all other images of Moon are just fake images. It is because from the place the first ever image was captured, no one visited the same ever. That is why there is only one authentic image of the Moon is available to us. Many of us either remember watching the landing ourselves or have heard the memories from our parents and grandparents. But what do you say when someone insists that the Moon landings never really happened?

There are many who claim that NASA did not have the technological know-how to pull off such a coup, or that if it did, it wasn’t done with a human crew- who would have been fried by cosmic rays. Others says some Alien involvement which cannot be denied by the government from a long time. Most of the conspiracy theories focus on supposed anomalies in the grainy photos and videos of the first moon landing. Despite proof from the lunar orbiter in 2009, which showed the abandoned modules from Apollo 11,14,15,16 and 17 still on the Moon’s surface, the conspiracy theories live on. When Apollo 11’s lunar module touched down on the Sea of Tranquility in 1969, less than one in 20 Americans doubted what they were seeing on their TV screens. Theorists have even suggested that filmmaker Stanley Kubrick may have helped NASA fake the first lunar landing, given that his 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey proves that the technology existed back then to artificially create a space like set. And as for Virgil I. Grissom, Edward H. White and Roger B. Chaffee — three astronauts who died in a fire while testing equipment for the first moon mission? They were executed by the U.S. government, which feared they were about to disclose the truth.

But the turn of the century, a Gallup poll fond skepticism has spread to 6% of the population. A serious doubt is also rampant among some of Washington’s closest allies, with a 2009 TNS survey showing that a quarter of British people did not believe the landings happened, while 9% of French people were also unconvinced, according to a conducted survey. Former NASA historian says, “The fact that the denial of the moon landings would not go away should not surprise anyone.” Far-fetched as the hoax theory may seem, a 1999 Gallup poll showed that it’s comparatively durable: 6% of Americans said they thought the lunar landings were fake, and 5% said they were undecided. More than half of Russians – the old cold war enemy – still refuse to believe that the Americans got there first.

“The power of such theories is that no matter what they survive, because they become a belief which comes with a kind of evangelism and so they can go on forever.”

Renewable energy increased, this is amazing to hear that 18% of the total electricity produced in The United States was by renewable sources like Solar, Wind, and Hydroelectric Dams. The stats were of the year 2017. That is quite high then the stats of 2016 which shows that the electricity production from renewable sources was just 15%. Moreover, this happened only because of the inspirational changes in new renewable sources of energy, and a drop in the share of natural gas and its productions. There is some part of the downfall of green gas excretion from power generation and consumer spending.

The share of renewable energy consumption has increased so much since 2008 it is double now since 2008. The percentage of coal has been fallen down from 48% to 30% in the same year. Moreover, when Trump administration had given some hints to reduce the funds for the renewable energy and its efficiency programs, then the trend determined to continue thanks to the market forces.

The share of power construction in the year 2017 of solar and wind projects made up to 62% and the most surprising thing was their costs which were falling down and down. The stats are amazing which shows that new projects of renewable energy worth of 2.9 GigaWatts have started in the recently passed year. Whereas, some coal plants were all set to wind up which value of 12.5 GigaWatts in the same year 2018. Now, it has become part of the accelerating trend. The thing makes the solar and wind industry more remarkable is that they are creating a considerable number of job opportunities. They are making the job opportunities much faster than other parts of the economy.

The findings are a permanent feature of The United States in the year 2018, which is prepared by the Business Council for Bloomberg New Energy Finance and Sustainable Energy.

Efficiency was another but significant elimination from the report. United States economy was working well and expanding itself in a healthy way ahead.  The total energy consumption of the United States was reduced by 0.2% in the year 2017 which is slightly better in itself. Well, doing more and better with low power consumptions shows that the economy is getting stronger day by day.

Every year, hundreds of people are killed in accidents related to Drunk Driving. State governments have been trying to fight the problem for years but have been unable to make a dent. The reason for this is that they have been too focused on penalties. They advertise the amount of money a conviction will cost, the possible jail time, and, the latest penalty, a breathalyzer attached to every vehicle in your household. This last penalty might be the most effective; commercials threaten the embarrassment for an entire family having to take a breathalyzer in front of their friends.

DUI Commercials:

The problem is that all of these penalties require people to think about them with an addled state of consciousness. Sure, those stop DUI commercials with the stern-faced police and the threatening voiceover may frighten someone in the middle of the day, sitting at home where they can see everything they have to lose. But, at a bar, after a few drinks too many, with a nice warm car waiting outside and maybe an annoying friend or a good looking stranger begging you for a ride, those threats fade far from the mind. Any effective deterrent has to take effect at the beginning of the night not at the end.

Lawmakers Approached The Best Solution :

when they lowered the limit from .12 to .08. They targeted the correct area but fell far short of what was needed. .08 still allows someone to go out intending to have one or two beers and then drive home. All too many times that individual will have too many drinks and then have to worry about the car in the parking lot. They have to worry about paying the fee overnight, the possibility of theft, and returning the next day to pick it up.

Obviously, the best case would be for the driver to leave his or her car home at the beginning of the night. To do this, the United States should follow the many countries that have reduced their driving limit to zero. This changes the message from “if you are driving only have a few drinks” to “if you are going to drink, do not bring your car.”

Tragedies:

In addition to this limit, many countries look to a communal responsibility to help enforce the law. In Japan, when a driver is convicted of drunk driving, the entire car receives the same penalty. Also, any people drinking with the driver beforehand and even the bar face charges. Since the legal limit is zero, there is no judgment call to make. If anyone sees you take a drink it is their legal responsibility to prevent you from driving. Even if they do not, it’s a thought in the back of a potential drivers mind: did the owner see me drive away? Together, the community can create a far more effective deterrent than the police could ever hope to muster.

These two new laws may seem too harsh but they are nothing compared to the penalty a driver faces after a serious drunk driver injury. In many states, a driver who kills either a passenger or another motorist can receive a ten year prison sentence per victim. Stricter laws aimed at preventing these tragedies can help to save the driver’s life as well as the victim’s.
