The document discusses the concept of a "virtual brain" or "Blue Brain" project currently being researched by IBM. The goal is to simulate the human brain using supercomputers, massive storage, and nanobots to interface with natural brains. This would allow uploading of a person's memories, knowledge, and intelligence into an artificial brain that could continue functioning after death. While this could allow eternal preservation of information, it also raises concerns about dependency on computers and potential misuse of data. Overall the document outlines current efforts to map and simulate brain function with the long term aim of replicating a fully functioning human brain virtually.
With the advancement in technology, human, the ultimate source of information and discovery should
also be preserved. In other words, human is does not live for thousands of years but the information in his mind
could be saved and used for several thousands of years. The technology helpful in this activity is Blue Brain.

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

used for the development of the human society.
• IBM is now in research to create a virtual brain. It is called “Blue brain “.
• If possible, this would be the first virtual brain of the world.
7. VIRTUAL BRAIN
• Virtual brain is an artificial brain, which does not actually the
natural brain, but can act as the brain.
• It can think like brain, take decisions based on the past experience,
and response as the natural brain can.
• It is possible by using a super computer, with a huge amount of
storage capacity, processing power and an interface between the
human brain and this artificial one .
• Through this interface the data stored in the natural brain can be
uploaded into the computer .
8. Why we need VIRTUAL BRAIN ?
• Intelligence ,Knowledge and skill of a person
can be made eternal.
• We can upload the contents of natural brain
into it.
• Things can be made easy as everything is
automated.
9. Function of a Brain

13. Uploading Human Brain
• The uploading is possible by the use of small robots known as the
nanobots.
• These robots are small enough to travel through out our
circulatory system.
• Traveling into the spine and brain, they will be able to monitor the
activity and structure of our central nervous system.
• They will be able to provide an interface with computer while we
still reside in our biological form .
14. • Nanobots could also carefully scan the structure of our brain,
providing a complete readout of the connection.
• This information, when entered into a computer, could then
continue to function as us.
• Thus the data stored in the entire brain will be uploaded into
the computer.
