     In today's fast-paced and competitive world, it is easy for parents to get caught up in the pursuit of traditional markers of success for their children. But one parent's heartfelt wish is to see their children as happy, kind, and capable humans, not just accomplished individuals on graduation day. This blog delves into the importance of prioritizing happiness and well-being over external achievements and redefines success through a broader lens.  1. A Shift in Perspective: Success should not solely be measured by academic achievements or prestigious careers. It's time to shift our perspective and understand that happiness, fulfillment, and meaningful relationships are equally, if not more, important. Emphasizing balance and well-being can lead to long-lasting contentment and a richer life experience.   2. Nurturing Relationships and Memories: Rather than being consumed by an endless pursuit of success, encourage your children to prioritize meaningfu...

A sphygmomanometer is a device that measures blood pressure. It is composed of an inflatable rubber cuff, which is wrapped around the arm. A measuring device indicates the cuff's pressure. A bulb inflates the cuff and a valve releases pressure. A stethoscope is used to listen to arterial blood flow sounds.   In 1881, von Basch created the sphygmomanometer and the first non-invasive BP measurements. However, in 1896, Scipione Riva-Rocci developed further the mercury sphygmomanometer, almost as we know it today.  The sphygmomanometer could only be used to determine the systolic BP Digital sphygmomanometers are automated, providing blood pressure reading without needing someone to operate the cuff or listen to the blood flow sounds.   However, digital types need to be more accurate. In some situations, some healthcare providers use digital sphygmomanometers for screening and manual ones to validate readings. Shaik Urwa Noorin. A cycle 2&3 teacher with a passion for ...

Which animal has 3 hearts, 9 brains and blue blood? Octopus Octopuses have 3 hearts, because two pump blood to the gills and a larger heart circulates blood to the rest of the body. Octopuses have 9 brains because, in addition to the central brain, each of 8 arms has a mini-brain that allows it to act independently. Octopuses have blue blood because they have adapted to cold, low oxygen water by using hemocyanin, a copper rich protein. We know that octopuses are intelligent, because they like to play and use tools – but we have no way of relating to what it would be like to have 9 brains. The central brain is a doughnut shape that forms a ring around the esophagus, so when an octopus swallows, its food must ‘pass through’ the brain! What a concept! Food for thought…? The most interesting thing is that they have a mini brain in each arm. This adds up to a lot of distributed brain power. Since each arm has a mini brain, the central brain just sends a higher-level signal to th...

Life's canvas is a vivid masterpiece, but its colors can become overwhelming without the support of a loving partner in both personal and professional realms. What may seem like bursts of frustration are, in reality, silent pleas from an overstimulated soul, yearning for a moment's respite. Picture this: the TV blaring, the dryer humming, the lawnmower's persistent buzz, my Apple Watch chiming urgently, a too-tight shirt, a rebellious messy bun, and the undeniable sensation of crumbs beneath my feet. It's not anger; it's a sensory symphony that craves a pause, and alhamdulillah, I am blessed to have a family that understands. Being an adult is an exhausting journey where demands never cease—at work, at home, even in the bathroom. It's not irritation; it's an admission of feeling overstimulated, desperately needing a moment to catch my breath. In this whirlwind, taking a moment for myself is not a weakness but an act of self-preservation, made possible throug...

Once upon a time, there was a young boy named Sam who lived in a small village. Sam was known for his laziness. He would spend most of his day lying around and doing nothing. He would ignore his chores and responsibilities, and would often make excuses for not doing them. One day, Sam's father gave him some seeds and told him to plant them in the garden. Sam promised to do it but kept delaying it day after day, and soon weeks went by without any planting being done. The seeds were left to wither and die, and the garden remained barren. Later on, the village experienced a drought, and the crops failed. The farmers were forced to go without food, and many of them had to leave the village in search of a better life. Sam and his family were also affected by this, and they had to rely on their savings to buy food. One day, while Sam was sitting idly under a tree, he saw a group of children playing and having fun. He realized that he had been lazy all his life, and he had not...

Visit a flower garden in the summer and you’ll see and hear lots of activity. Bees are buzzing and busily moving from flower to flower. Butterflies are quieter, but they’re visiting the flowers too. Ladybugs crawl and fly about. If you’re lucky, you might even see a hummingbird or two. What’s going on here? Why is everyone so busy? These animals are attracted to nectar in the flowers. Nectar is a sweet liquid deep inside a flower. It provides food for bees, butterflies and even bats. These animals need nectar to grow, and also to lay eggs. Plants help animals, but the animals are helping the plants too. When bees and other animals move around flowers, they take pollen, which forms on the male part of the flowers, the anthers, and move it to the pistils, or female parts of the flowers. If the pollen lands in the right spot, it moves down through the pistils, to the eggs, which are inside the flower. Fun Facts about Pollination and Fertilization of Plants for Kids Once the pollen...

STRONG When they see you as a strong woman, they think that you do not need anything or anyone, you can bear everything and will overcome whatever happens. That you do not mind being listened to, cared for or pampered. When they see you as a strong woman, they just look for you to help them carry their crosses. They talk to you and they think you do not need to be heard. A strong woman is not asked if she is tired, suffering or falling, if she has anxiety or fear. The important thing is that she is always there: a lighthouse in the fog or a rock in the middle of the sea. The strong woman is not forgiven anything. If she loses control, she becomes weak. If she loses her temper, she becomes hysterical. When the strong woman disappears a minute, it is immediately noticeable, but when she is there, her presence is usual. But the strength that is needed every day, to be that kind of woman, does not matter to anyone. Honor, recognize, respect and thank the strong women in your li...
