Negative Effects

  • Physical and Emotional Misbalance: TV gives no educational benefit for children below the age of 2 years. But severely affects their mental health and in some cases it even reduces the commemorating ability in students. According to a study, the reading skill of the students is very much influenced by the habit of watching TV.
  • Wastage of Time: The most adverse effect of watching television is wasting time in watching unnecessary shows and movies. The outcome of this situation is the imbalance in studies and academic section. That time can be utilized in the development of important skills like language, creativity and social skills for overall development of a child.
  • Violence and Unwanted Material: Movies, WWE, Action shows or Cartoon channels makes children learn bad things and sometimes get indulges in violent behavior. Some movies and TV programs also show unwanted things that impart a bad impact on developing children.
  • Neglect Studies: The interest of students in studies sometimes create such an impression on children’s mind that they neglect their studies. This leads to their academic failure.
  • Health Issues: The habit of watching TV continuously reduces the eyesight of the children and in some cases seeds some mental instability or disease. The reduction in productive usage of time reduces the athletic ability and gives birth to several health problems. According to the American Medical Association, Kids having worst TV watching habit are usually overweight.

TV was invented for entertainment but is currently used in a wrong manner. But the proper guidance of parents and teachers can make children avoid its excessive use. Machines are made for improving comfort level, but its correct use depends on the users.

Meet Lt. Col. Christine Mau, First Woman To Fly New F-35 Fighter Jet

Lt. Col. Christine Mau F 35

Lt. Col. Christine Mau became the first woman to fly the military’s new state-of-the-art fighter jet at Florida’s Elgin base. The US Air Force is currently testing out the F-35 Lightning II – a fighter jet that can fly at speeds over 1,200 mph – ahead of its planned replacement of the older F-16 and A-10 planes starting next year.

Before Mau’s flight on Tuesday, only 87 male pilots had taken the high-powered plane for test flights and she prepared for her first go in the jet by conducting 14 virtual training missions on a flight simulator. Lt. Col. Christine Mau F 35

‘It wasn’t until I was taxiing to the runway that it really struck me that I was on my own in the jet,’ Mau said in a statement to the Air Force. ‘It felt great to get airborne. The jet flies like a dream.’

Once in the air, Mau said the plane’s complex helmet took some getting used to. Unlike other jets, where the sensor data appears on the cockpit control panel, pilots in the F-35 read the important information on a mounted display connected to their helmet.

However, the flight went according to plan and Mau, who serves as the 33rd Fighter Wing Operations Group deputy commander, later landed with no issues.

She says she likes working in the Air Force, since she thinks planes give both men and women equal footing.

‘Flying is a great equalizer,’  Mau said. ‘The plane doesn’t know or care about your gender as a pilot, nor do the ground troops who need your support. You just have to perform.’

In fact, she says the only difference between her and other F-35 pilots is the size of her G-suit and facemask – both of which are extra-small.

Does Being Google Helps In SSB?

ssb interview tips

Does Being Google Helps In SSB? If you have been to SSB once, you must have encountered at least one person in you batch, who knows everything about everything. Believe me when you look at that person, you are awestruck. Everybody in your batch goes to that person in case they need any information about anything. That person is the official walking and talking encyclopedia and his/her knowledge ranges from current affairs to geography, from Armed Forces to sports and what not. So he/she is respectfully looked up to in case somebody has their interview the next day. That person is the point of attraction and is often referred to by all the candidates. You might get intimidated by their mere presence in the group discussion and look forward to their lecturette. And more than yourself, you are sure that that person will get recommended. Trust me, been there seen that, and seen those people not getting recommended too.ssb interview tips

Does knowing a lot about general awareness and the Armed Forces help?

Yes it helps. Though that is not the only thing they need. The question of knowing about the current affairs and other stuff comes basically in the interview. As in the interview they ask you about the latest happenings. Suppose if you have a lot of free time at home, then obviously you are supposed to follow through the current happenings, although if you have a 9 to 9 job, then it is a wonder in itself that you tried for SSB, so nobody will expect much then. Wondering how they’ll get to know whether or not you have free time? Simple, they’ll ask your routine in the interview. However, if you know a bit about the current events and other stuff, it’ll definitely help you in GD and lecturette.  But as you know that they are looking for officers not Google, so being an encyclopedia alone, won’t land you a job.

How much Armed Forces knowledge helps?

If your immediate kith (parents, siblings) are in the forces then you are expected to know to a certain level of things. Because if have been living in that atmosphere, it shouldn’t be a big thing to know stuff about the service your parent is, or your sibling is. In fact if you don’t know the basic things also then it goes on to show that you are ignorant towards your surroundings. Also if you are going for technical entry, then you should be aware of the latest technological developments in your zone in the forces. So summing it all up, you should know a basic level like the commands, ranks etc. it shows that you are serious about your preparation.

Conclusion

There is no harm in preparing yourself for something which you have always aspired for. But if you are thinking that knowing stuff will get you recommended, you are wrong. I have seen people knowing a lot getting not recommended and people knowing nothing getting recommended. You obviously know that they select on the basis of right fit, and that involves a lot of OLQ’s. However do read up stuff, for that extra edge!
