Darth Vader, though often mistaken by younger audiences due to the mystery of the mask, is not a girl , but a male character and one of the most iconic figures in the Star Wars saga. He is a powerful Sith Lord, originally born as Anakin Skywalker , whose tragic transformation from a heroic Jedi to a feared enforcer of the dark side forms the emotional core of the entire Star Wars narrative. Darth Vader's story spans generations, beginning as a gifted boy on the desert planet Tatooine , and ending as a redeemed father who sacrifices himself to save his son and destroy evil.  Anakin was discovered by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn , who believed him to be the Chosen One prophesied to bring balance to the Force. Trained under Obi-Wan Kenobi , Anakin quickly grew into a skilled Jedi, known for his bravery and power, but also for his emotional instability and defiance of Jedi rules. His deep love for Padmé Amidala , whom he married in secret, coupled with a haunting fear of loss, made hi...

In the urban slums of the Philippines, particularly in densely populated areas like Tondo, Manila, a harsh reality known as “pagpag” exists—one that starkly reveals the depth of poverty experienced by many Filipinos. The word pagpag literally means “to shake off dirt or dust” in Filipino. However, in this context, it refers to leftover food scavenged from garbage bins, usually from fast food restaurants, that is cleaned, recooked, and eaten by people who cannot afford freshly prepared meals. Often, these food scraps include discarded fried chicken, rice, burgers, or spaghetti, scraped off used packaging and collected from trash bags dumped behind fast-food chains. People resort to eating pagpag out of sheer necessity. For millions living below the poverty line, where daily income is sometimes less than ₱100 (about $2), access to nutritious food is nearly impossible. In some communities, pagpag has become an informal industry: individuals, often children or mothers, collect food was...

School homework, the bane of many a household, has been closely studied by a pair of Australian academics who found that homework for young primary school children is of little or no value when it comes to academic achievement. Rachel Carbonell spoke to the book’s authors, Richard Walker and Professor Mike Horsley about their views   I realise there’s a lot of disagreement, but the consensus findings would be that homework’s not very beneficial for primary school kids. You know, there are very limited benefits for junior high school kids and only reasonable benefits for senior high school kids. Thinking about the effect of the involvement of parents in homework—where parents are over-controlling or interfere in their kids’ homework activities—then that’s clearly not beneficial, is it? But where parents essentially try to provide guidance then that situation is beneficial for students. Not many parents actually do this, they tend to take control but if they can take a back seat ...

This is the starting point.  Comparing is the Root of Envy.  Unfortunately, from about the time we each began to walk,  we also began to compare.  Can you remember all those times you complained that your brother or sister got more chocolate than you? We grow up comparing everything,  Appearance,  Grades in School,  Athletic Ability, and other Talents.  As adults we. Compare,   Clothes, Cars,  Homes,  How much we earn,  and a thousand other things.  But God says such comparisons are foolish.  The Bible says, ". When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves to themselves,  they show how foolish they are. Why is it foolish to compare yourself with Others?  Because you are  Incomparable ! So is everyone else.  God made each of us   " One of a kind ". Besides,  comparing leads to one  Negative. Reactions,   Pride &. Envy. You can always find so...

Hello! I am Hylton Upshon, working at Heat-Well, an upcoming Heat-mapping Company in New Delhi. Do you know where your insulation gaps are? As the winter months arrive and much of Northern India braces itself for icy weather, we take to the streets to let homeowners know exactly where their heating expenses are escaping. We provide suggestions about how to make your homes more energy efficient. We drive around as many streets as possible, taking pictures of people’s homes in our SUV, equipped with infrared cameras, heat-mapping whatever homes are visible on both sides of the street.   The photos give a quick assessment of each structure’s thermal envelope and highlight areas where heat is escaping into the outside air. In blobs of colour ranging from black-coldest-to purple, orange and yellow which is the hottest, the images can be used as a thermal map to prioritize areas that need extra insulation, usually around windows, eaves and spaces between floors. The images are then p...

Quảng Phú Cầu is a commune in Ứng Hòa District , on the outskirts of Hanoi, Vietnam . It covers roughly 8.5 km² and historically comprises six villages: Xà Cầu, Quảng Nguyên, Phú Lương Thượng, Phú Lương Hạ, Cầu Bầu, and Đạo Từ . With a modest population of just over ten thousand people, this rural settlement might at first appear unremarkable, but its cultural heritage and economic identity are deeply interwoven with one specific craft: incense making — a tradition that has shaped local life for over a century. The origins of Quảng Phú Cầu’s incense craft date back more than 100 years . In the early 20th century, villagers primarily engaged in general rural activities like basket and fan weaving. One fateful meeting between a local man — Mr. Lê Xuân Vinh — and a trader seeking bamboo sticks sparked a transformation in the community. The idea to produce incense sticks for commerce took hold in Phú Lương Thượng village and soon spread throughout the commune. Over time, what began a...

There are many things people spend their lives chasing—success, recognition, comfort, and security. Yet, when life slows us down and strips away the noise, we realize something profound: family and friends are truly life’s greatest treasures. They are not accessories to our journey; they are the foundation that makes the journey meaningful. Family and friends often know us better than we know ourselves. They see beyond the masks we wear for the world. They recognize our strength even when we feel weak, and they sense our pain even when we remain silent. This kind of understanding does not come from words alone—it comes from shared time, shared struggles, and shared love. It is built slowly, patiently, and sincerely. In moments of joy, they are the first to celebrate with us. Their laughter amplifies our happiness, turning ordinary moments into unforgettable memories. And in moments of sorrow, they are the ones who sit beside us when words fail. They may not always have answers, but t...

An average Indian road is an irritating place to be in. Be it a biker, a truck driver, a car owner, a cyclist, a scooter or a “mere” pedestrian, it is a path full of uncertainties, dangers and at times, unintended amusements. Today I want to discuss what is it that irritates me the most when I am on the road.   I am sure I will get a fair share of people supporting me on this. Honking, and too much of it at that, is a problem. A big one. In India, people often think they will clear a traffic jam simply by honking their horns. Does not happen. What happens instead, is high blood pressure for some, road rage for others, and frustration for the rest. If there are any left, they simply turn up the volume. I think the last ones are the smartest and get home first.   Why are people so obsessed with high beam headlights? I will never know. And to be sure, I never use high beam myself. See, high beam has its uses. On a highway with high speed traffic, and one way roads, it is ...

When the wind of. Crisis blows us back and forth ---- there is truth that God promises, ".Never will I leave. You, never will I forsake you. (Heb.13:5) A Kiss is a peculiar situation of no use to one,  absolute bliss to Two.  It is the  Lovers privileged,  the Husband'. Right and the hypocrite'sb Mask.  To a young girl, it means hope,  to a Married Woman,  Faith and an old maid. Man, it is charity. If a country is to be corruption-free and become a nation of beautiful minds. I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference.  They are the father, the mother and the teacher. ----   Dr.  A. P. L.  Abdul. Kalam What makes a home? Love, Sympathy and Confidence.  The memories of Childhood,  the Kindness of  Parents, the bright hopes of youth, the sister's pride, the brother's sympathy and help, the mutual confidence,  the common hope and interest and sorrows.  All these create an...

As a member of the school council, I helped choose a new ICT teacher. We observed him teaching a demonstration lesson and we were impressed with his skill as an ICT teacher and the way he kept discipline. Getting involved in the school council has helped me a lot. It is a positive thing. It has given me confidence in making decisions. I think we are making a difference for the students.   I play right back for the school football team. Teachers help a lot with after-hours training. The school encourages you to learn a variety of things. I’m also very keen on ICT and have been given a software program that shows you the basics. I practice my computer skills in break-time, lunchtime or after school. Anyone can turn up and book time on a computer.   I’m a buddy to junior-class children. You play with them at break-time, give them confidence and help them in their studies. If a student is struggling, you get to be their buddy and help them through the year. Buddies are giv...
