We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts

In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

6.1 Material handling – hydraulic load and tip systems
Hydraulic load and tip
systems are required to
transfer the raw parts –
usually small bulk parts –
from the customer‘s parts
bins into the Rosler
finishing
machine
Rosler produces its own
range of hydraulic load and
tip systems with a
lifting capacity from
600 kg up to 1500 kg.
The load and tip systems are adapted to the
specific parts bins utilized by the customer
August 2010 Introduction Page 49
50. Introduction to Mass Finishing Massfin
6.1 Material handling – vibratory hoppers
Vibratory hoppers are frequently used in combination with
hydraulic lift and tip systems:
- a hydraulic lift and tip systems transfers the raw parts – usually small
bulk parts -- from the customer‘s parts bin into a vibratory hopper
- the vibratory hopper feeds the parts into the Trowal finishing
machine
• Vibratory hoppers are powered
by a magnetic vibratory drive
system
• By adjustment of the frequency of the
vibratory drive (thyristor), an exact
dosing of parts into the Trowal
finishing machine is possible

6.2 Separation systems
Mass finishing operations always require the
separation of media from the finished parts
Exception:
Part-on-part finishing!
August 2010 Introduction Page 57
58. Introduction to Mass Finishing Massfin
6.2 Separation systems – integrated separation systems
Almost all circular vibrators have an integrated separation system.
Integrated separation systems
consist of
• a manually or pneumatically
operated separation flap
• a separation screen:
Usually the perforation in the
screen is such that the media
falls through the holes, whereas
the finished parts stay on the
screen and are transported
out of the circular vibrator!
August 2010 Introduction Page 58
59. Introduction to Mass Finishing Massfin
6.2 Separation systems – integrated separation systems
Reverse screening
This is occasionally required, wenn the
PARTS ARE SMALLER THAN THE GRINDING/POLISHING MEDIA
Reverse screens
usually consist of a
tailormade double
deck design
August 2010 Introduction Page 59
60. Introduction to Mass Finishing
Massfin
6.2 Separation systems – Magnetic separators
If the separation of media from the parts by simple screen is
difficult,
- because the parts have an unfavorable shape which could cause
them to lodge in the screen perforation
or
- the media and parts have a
similar size
a Magnetic Separator can be the
solution to such a problem!
Precondition for magnetic
separation:
Parts must be ferrous!
August 2010 Introduction Page 60
61. Introduction to Mass Finishing Massfin
6.2 Separation systems – Undersize media classification
Undersize media must be removed
from the finishing machine, because
a. after reaching a certain size -- due to
their smaller mass -- they no longer
offer an adequate grinding effect.
b. undersize media have to be removed,
before they can lodge in the parts
There are 2 classification systems
a. permanent undersize screening in the
bowl discharge.
b. undersize removal during the
separation cycle by separate undersize
screen
