10 fact about may day

we all hear about the may day but why we celebrate the may day? Who started may day? What's are the important facts of the may day? Let's know about these facts - 

To know more about these read this article carefully and shere to your friends. 

WHO STARTED MAY DAY? 

On May 1, 1886, more than 300,000 workers in 13,000 businesses across the United Stateswalked off their jobs in the first May Day celebration in history. In Chicago, the epicenter for the 8-hour day agitators, 40,000 went out on strike with the anarchists in the forefront of the public's eye.

International Labour Day is a celebration in the honour of labourers and the working classes. It takes place every year on May 1, which also matches with the Celtic spring festival.

The day is also commonly known around the globe as May Day and is an official public holiday for many countries like People's Republic of China, North Korea, Cuba, and Russia. 

Google Doodle is honouring the day today with a purple-coloured doodle that has little details like rubber gloves, stethoscope, safety helmets, batteries, nuts and bolts, painting roll-ons, wires, glasses to light torches.

Why Labour Day is important

• A movement mobilised by the labour union at the time of rise in industrialization is where the Labour Day has its origins

• Industrialists exploited the labour class by making them work for up to 15 hours a day

• Finally, the union took the courage to unite and raise their voice on May Day (first day of the month) against the unfair treatment, and demanded paid leaves, proper wages and breaks for the workforce

• This the movement that is particularly known as the eight-hour day movement, as it supported eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest

• The day has long been a crucial point for demonstrations by various socialist, communist and anarchist groups too

• During the Cold War between 1947 to 1953, the Labour Day became an intermittent event for large military parades and was attended by top leaders. It became an enduring symbol of that period. Till date, countries that signify the May Day as an official holiday feature elaborate popular and military parades on the day

SOME INPORTANT FACT ABOUT MAY DAY:

Maypole Dance

Another popular tradition of May Day involves the maypole. While the exact origins of the maypole remain unknown, the annual traditions surrounding it can be traced back to medieval times, and some are still celebrated today.

Villagers would enter the woods to find a maypole that was set up for the day in small towns (or sometimes permanently in larger cities). The day’s festivities involved merriment, as people would dance around the pole clad with colorful streamers and ribbons.

Historians believe the first maypole dance originated as part of a fertility ritual, where the pole symbolized male fertility and baskets and wreaths symbolized female fertility.

The maypole never really took root in America, where May Day celebrations were discouraged by the Puritans. But other forms of celebrations did find their way to the New World.

During the 19th and 20th centuries, May Basket Day was celebrated across the country, where baskets were created with flowers, candies and other treats and hung on the doors of friends, neighbors and loved ones on May 1.

Did you know? What does May Day have to do with the international distress call, "Mayday, Mayday, Mayday"? Nothing, as it turns out. The code was invented in 1923 by an airport radio officer in London. Challenged to come up with a word that would be easily understood by pilots and ground staff in case of an emergency, Frederick Mockford coined the word "mayday" because it sounded like "m'aider," a shortened version of the French term for " come and help me."

International Workers’ Day

The connection between May Day and labor rights began in the United States. During the 19th century, at the height of the Industrial Revolution, thousands of men, women and children were dying every year from poor working conditions and long hours.

In an attempt to end these inhumane conditions, the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions (which would later become the American Federation of Labor, or AFL) held a convention in Chicago in 1884. The FOTLU proclaimed “eight hours shall constitute a legal day’s labor from and after May 1, 1886.”

The following year the Knights of Labor – then America’s largest labor organization – backed the proclamation as both groups encouraged workers to strike and demonstrate.

On May 1, 1886, more than 300,000 workers (40,000 in Chicago alone) from 13,000 business walked out of their jobs across the country. In the following days, more workers joined and the number of strikers grew to almost 100,000.

Haymarket Riot

Overall, the protests were peaceful, but that all changed on May 3 where Chicago police and workers clashed at the McCormick Reaper Works. The next day a rally was planned at Haymarket Square to protest the killing and wounding of several workers by the police.

The speaker, August Spies, was winding down when a group of officers arrived to disperse the crowd. As the police advanced, an individual who was never identified threw a bomb into their ranks. Chaos ensued, and at least seven police officers and eight civilians died as a result of the violence that day.

The Haymarket Riot set off a national wave of repression. In August 1886, eight men labeled as anarchists were convicted in a sensational and controversial trial despite there being no solid evidence linking the defendants to the bombing. The jury was considered to be biased, with ties to big business.

Seven of the convicted men received a death sentence, and the eighth was sentenced to 15 years in prison. In the end, four of the men were hanged, one committed suicide and the remaining three were pardoned six years later.

A few years after the Haymarket Riot and subsequent trials shocked the world, a newly formed coalition of socialist and labor parties in Europe called for a demonstration to honor the “Haymarket Martyrs.” In 1890, over 300,000 people protested at a May Day rally in London.

The workers’ history of May 1 was eventually embraced by many governments worldwide, not just those with socialist or communist influences.

May Day Today 

Today, May Day is an official holiday in 66 countries and unofficially celebrated in many more, but ironically it is rarely recognized in the country where it began, the United States of America.

After the 1894 Pullman Strike, President Grover Clevelandofficially moved the U.S. celebration of Labor Day to the first Monday in September, intentionally severing ties with the international worker’s celebration for fear that it would built support for communism and other radical causes.

Dwight D. Eisenhower tried to reinvent May Day in 1958, further distancing the memories of the Haymarket Riot, by declaring May 1 to be “Law Day,” celebrating the place of law in the creation of the United States.

May Day in India

• The first celebration of the day in India was organised in Madras (now Chennai) by the Labour Kisan Party of Hindustan on May 1, 1923

• This was also the time when the Red Flag (the day's symbol used since its foundation) was first used in India

• In addition, it should be noted that May 1, apart from being Labour Day, is also marked as 'Maharashtra Day' and 'Gujarat Day' to mark the date in 1960 -- when the two western states attained statehood after the erstwhile Bombay state was divided on linguistic lines

• This May Day, it is also important to know that child labour in India is prohibited under the Child Labour Act of 1986, which bars employing people below 14 years. The Act was directed towards achieving better labour standards and to ensure no abuse or maltreatment of children by industries and industrialists.

Using slime, hagfishes can block predators that are even hundred times larger than their size. Predators can’t easily remove the irritating slime from their mouth. Hagfishes also have the ability to consume food through their skin. They also can live up to 3 months without food.

9:Sailfish, Fastest Fish in Ocean

Sail fishes live in all oceans in the world. It has long body which measures 11 feet in length and have impressive sail like fins. At maximum speed of 68 mph, sailfish is the fastest fish in the world.

Their long body plays a crucial role in achieving such a blazing speed. This incredible speed also helps sailfishes to escape from predators like octopus.

8:Mantis Shrimp, Powerful punching

Mantis shrimp only has a length between 18 and 30 cm. They live on sea beds, found usually hide behind the rocks. But don’t misjudge mantis shrimps based on their small size. Because, this small aquatic creature can accelerate it’s forelimb in same velocity of gunshot from a rifle.

This fast movement of limbs heat up the water around the mantis shrimps. Also could produce a shock wave in depth of the sea. It lets them to hit the preys into pieces, can break hard shells of many animals.

7:Platypus, Accurate prey locating power

Platypuses is a semi aquatic animal found in Eastern Australia. They have a duck like bill and grows up to a size of 20 inches. Actually, it’s bill contain 40000 electro-receptors and more than 60000 mechano-receptors. So that platypus can sense the pressure changes produced by its preys in depth of the sea.

In that way, platypus can easily determine the exact location of preys. Surprisingly, they never use eyes or ears while they are searching for food as they have super sensitive bills.The male platypus also has a secret weapon to fight against predators, the spurs on hind feet. These spurs actually connected to a gland that can produce toxic venom.

6:Electric Eel, Discharging of electricity

The name itself indicates this fish’s power to discharge electricity. They mainly found in South American range. When threatened, electric eels could generate 600 v electrical energy from its body.

Such electrical discharging have enough power to leave a adult human into unconscious state. This discharging of electricity functioned by the electrolyte cells within its body.

5:Planarian, Limitless regeneration

This non-parasitic species live in both salt and freshwater around the world. Even though very small in size planarians make limitless regeneration. When any parts of planarian get cut down, it could easily regrow it back.

Unlike lizards and cockroaches, when a planarian cut down into many pieces each piece grows into two different planarians. That is, they have special power to clone itself. The special sells within their body is the reason behind the  limitless regeneration of planarian.

IDENTIFYING CANCER BY JUST ONLY DROP OF BLOOD

IDENTIFYING CANCER BY JUST ONLY DROP OF BLOOD

WHY WE NEED THIS TECHNOLOGY: 

 Cancer is one of the most dengarous disease in mordern age.we have not any permanent cure of that diseases,we need to detect that early fore better cure.some types of cancer, such as ovarian cancer,tends to remain undecteted until they reached too advanced stage.its a big problem for us to detect that kind of cancer. so we need and better and efficient way to detect cancer. for a middle class person it's not possible to maintain his full body checkup frequently because the checkup is costly and also takes so much time.

NEW INNOVATIVE TOOL:

  This tool may be able to detect cancer easily,quickly,and in minuscule amounts of blood.it is a new development highly sensitive device can detect cancer in very small clinical samples.
in a bid to find a simple, effective way of identifying hard to diagnose cancers, researchers from the university of kanas (KU) cancer center  and KU medical center in kasas city have now developed an ultrasensitive cancer detecting device.

HOW DOES IT WORK: 

 The device, which is called a"3d-nanopatterned microfluid chip," could successfully detect cancer markers in the tiniest drop of blood or in a component of the blood called plasma.
Lead author Yong Jeng,an associate professor of chemistry at KU, and his team describe how the noble tool works in a paper that the journal nature biomedical engineering has published.
this device,the scientist explain This device, the scientists explain, identifies and diagnoses cancer by "filtering" for exosomes, which are tiny vesicles that some eukaryotic cells produce.

In the case of cancer cells, exosomes contain biological information that can direct tumor growth and spread."Historically, people thought exosomes were like 'trash bags' that cells could use to dump unwanted cellular contents," Zeng explains. "But, in the past decade," he adds, "scientists realized they were quite useful for sending messages to recipient cells and communicating molecular information important in many biological functions."

"Basically, tumors send out exosomes packaging active molecules that mirror the biological features of the parental cells. While all cells produce exosomes, tumor cells are really active compared to normal cells," Zeng notes.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE :THE POWER OF FUTURE

We All know about the artificial intelligence.
DEFINITION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE :

In Computer technology , artificial intelligence(AI), sometimes called machine intelligence, is intelligence demonstrated by mashing , in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans and other animals

. Computer science defines AI research as the study of "intelligence agent ": any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals. More specifically, Kaplan and Haenlein define AI as “a system’s ability to correctly interpret external data, to learn from such data, and to use those learnings to achieve specific goals and tasks through flexible adaptation”.Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is used to describe machines that mimic "cognitive" functions that humans associate with other human minds such as "learning" and "problem solving".

Applications of artificial intelligence 

ARTIFICIAL intelligence , defined as intelligence exhibited by machines, has many applications in today's society. More specifically, it is weak ai, the form of AI where programs are developed to perform specific tasks, that is being utilized for a wide range of activities  diagnosis, electronic traindind platform , robot con , and remote sensing. AI has been used to develop and advance numerous fields and industries, including finance, healthcare, education, transportation, and more.

including medical

Types of artificial intelligence

Weak AI (narrow AI) – non-sentient machine intelligence, typically focused on a narrow task (narrow AI).

STRONG AI(AGI) – (hypothetical) machine with the ability to apply intelligence to any problem, rather than just one specific problem, typically meaning "at least as smart as a typical human". It's future potential creation is referred to as a TECHNOLOGICAL SINGULARITY , and constitutes a GLOBAL (see Superintelligence, below).

SUPERINTELLIGENCE – (hypothetical) artificial intelligence far surpassing that of the brightest and most gifted human minds. Due to RECURSIVE SELF-IMPROVEMENT , superintelligence is expected to be a rapid outcome of creating artificial general intelligence.

Applications of AI:

AI has been dominant in various fields such as −

Gaming − AI plays crucial role in strategic games such as chess, poker, tic-tac-toe, etc., where machine can think of large number of possible positions based on heuristic knowledge.

Natural Language Processing − It is possible to interact with the computer that understands natural language spoken by humans.

Expert Systems  -There are some applications which integrate machine, software, and special information to impart reasoning and advising. They provide explanation and advice to the users.

Vision Systems  These systems understand, interpret, and comprehend visual input on the computer. For example,

A spying aeroplane takes photographs, which are used to figure out spatial information or map of the areas.

Doctors use clinical expert system to diagnose the patient.

Police use computer software that can recognize the face of criminal with the stored portrait made by forensic artist.

Speech Recognition − Some intelligent systems are capable of hearing and comprehending the language in terms of sentences and their meanings while a human talks to it. It can handle different accents, slang words, noise in the background, change in human’s noise due to cold, etc.

Handwriting Recognition − The handwriting recognition software reads the text written on paper by a pen or on screen by a stylus. It can recognize the shapes of the letters and convert it into editable text.

Intelligent Robots − Robots are able to perform the tasks given by a human. They have sensors to detect physical data from the real world such as light, heat, temperature, movement, sound, bump, and pressure. They have efficient processors, multiple sensors and huge memory, to exhibit intelligence. In addition, they are capable of learning from their mistakes and they can adapt to the new environment.

Problems

The overall research goal of artificial intelligence is to create technology that allows computers and machines to function in an intelligent manner. The general problem of simulating (or creating) intelligence has been broken down into sub-problems. These consist of particular traits or capabilities that researchers expect an intelligent system to display. The traits described below have received the most attention.

Reasoning, problem solving

Early researchers developed algorithms that imitated step-by-step reasoning that humans use when they solve puzzles or make logical deductions. By the late 1980s and 1990s, AI research had developed methods for dealing with uncertain or incomplete information, employing concepts from probabilities and economics .

These algorithms proved to be insufficient for solving large reasoning problems, because they experienced a "combinatorial explosion": they became exponentially slower as the problems grew larger. In fact, even humans rarely use the step-by-step deduction that early AI research was able to model. They solve most of their problems using fast, intuitive judgements.

Knowledge representation

Knowledge development Among the most difficult problems in knowledge representation are:Default reasoning and the qualifications problem Many of the things people know take the form of "working assumptions". For example, if a bird comes up in conversation, people typically picture an animal that is fist-sized, sings, and flies. None of these things are true about all birds. Scientists identified this problem in 1969as the qualification problem: for any commonsense rule that AI researchers care to represent, there tend to be a huge number of exceptions. Almost nothing is simply true or false in the way that abstract logic requires. AI research has explored a number of solutions to this problem.The breadth of commonsense knowledgeThe number of atomic facts that the average person knows is very large. Research projects that attempt to build a complete knowledge base  knowledge  (e.g., ) require enormous amounts of laborious ontological engineering —they must be built, by hand, one complicated concept at a time.The subsymbolic form of some commonsense knowledgeMuch of what people know is not represented as "facts" or "statements" that they could express verbally. For example, a chess master will avoid a particular chess position because it "feels too exposed"or an art critic can take one look at a statue and realize that it is a fake.These are non-conscious and sub-symbolic intuitions or tendencies in the human brain.Knowledge like this informs, supports and provides a context for symbolic, conscious knowledge. As with the related problem of sub-symbolic reasoning, it is hoped that situated Ai, computational intelligence , or statistical Ai will provide ways to represent this kind of knowledge.

of comoncence

and knowledge engineering are central to classical AI research. Some "expert systems" attempt to gather together explicit  ontology language .The most general  are called default ontology, which attempt to provide a foundation for all other knowledge by acting as mediators between domain ontologies that cover specific knowledge about a particular knowledge domain (field of interest or area of concern). Such formal knowledge representations can be used in content-based indexing and retrieval, scene interpretation,clinical decision support,knowledge discovery (mining "interesting" and actionable inferences from large databases), and other areas.

knowledge possessed by experts in some narrow domain. In addition, some projects attempt to gather the "commonsense knowledge" known to the average person into a database containing extensive knowledge about the world. Among the things a comprehensive commonsense knowledge base would contain are: objects, properties, categories and relations between objects;situations, events, states and time;causes and effects;knowledge about knowledge (what we know about what other people know);and many other, less well researched domains. A representation of "what exists" is an ontology : the set of objects, relations, concepts, and properties formally described so that software agents can interpret them. The semantics of these are captured as description logic concepts, roles, and individuals, and typically implemented as classes, properties, and individuals in the web

possibly other systems in the future.Organized and manages records.Interact with humans for entertainment or a task as avatars or robots.An example of this is AI for playing many videogames.Robotic pets can interact with humans. Can help w/ depression and inactivity.Can fulfill sexual pleasure.They can think logically without emotions, making rational decisions with less or no mistakes.Can assess people.

This can be for medical purposes, such as health risks and emotional state. Can simulate medical procedures and give info on side effects.

Robotic radiosurgery, and other types of surgery in the future, can achieve precision that humans can't.They don't need to sleep, rest, take breaks, or get entertained, as they don't get bored or tired.

Now let's go and see the disadvantages:

Disadvantages:

Can cost a lot of money and time to build, rebuild, and repair. Robotic repair can occur to reduce time and humans needing to fix it, but that'll cost more money and resources.

It's questionable: is it ethically and morally correct to have androids, human-like robots, or recreate intelligence, a gift of nature that shouldn't be recreated? This is a discussion about AI that's popular in the days.

Storage is expansive, but access and retrieval may not lead to connections in memory as well as humans could.

They can learn and get better with tasks if coded to, but it's questionable as to if this can ever become as good as humans can do such.

They cannot work outside of what they were programmed for.

They could never, or, at least, seemingly never with our technological perceptions, recieve creativity that humans have.

This can prevent sympathizing with emotions for human contact, such as in being nurses. This can also reduce wisdom can understanding.

This can prevent common sense occuring. Even if coded with common sense and to learn, it seems hard for them to get as much common sense that humans could.

Robots, with them replacing jobs, can lead to severe unemployment, unless if humans can fix the unemployment with jobs AI can't do or severly change the government to communism.

As seen partially with smartphones and other technology already, humans can become too dependent on AI and lose their mental capacities.

Machines can easily lead to destruction, if put in the wrong hands. That is, at least a fear of many humans.

AI as robots can supercede humans, enslaving us.

Friend or foe?

With AI continuing to be a prominent buzzword in 2019, businesses need to realize that self-learning and black-box capabilities are not the panacea. Many organisations are already beginning to see the incredible capabilities of AI, using these advantages to enhance human intelligence and gain real value from their data.

As there is increasing evidence demonstrating the benefits of intelligent systems, more decision-makers in the boardroom are gaining a better understanding of what AI can really offer. Research connected by EY explains “organizations enabling AI at the enterprise level are increasing operational efficiency, making faster, more informed decisions and innovating new products and services.”

The first companies employing AI systems across the board will gain competitive advantage, reduce cost of operations and remove head counts. Whilst this may be a positive from a business perspective, it is obvious why this a worry for those working in roles at risk of displacement. The introduction of these technologies will likely trigger an issue with unions and job security due to the substantial operational changes.

Although AI will affect every sector in some way, not every job is at equal risk. PwC predictions a relatively low displacement of jobs (around 3%) in the first wave of automation, but this could dramatically increase up to 30% by the mid-2030’s. Occupations within the transport industry could potentially be at much greater risk, whereas jobs requiring social, emotional and literary abilities are at the lowest risk of displacement.

A positive future with artificial intelligence

Many businesses and individuals are optimistic that this AI-driven shift in the workplace will result in more jobs being created than lost. As we develop innovative technologies, AI will have a positive impact on our economy by creating jobs that require the skill set to implement new systems. 80% of respondents in the EY survey said it was the lack of these skills that was the biggest challenge when employing AI programs.

It is likely that artificial intelligence will soon replace jobs involving repetitive or basic problem-solving tasks, and even go beyond current human capability. AI systems will be making decisions instead of humans in industrial settings, customer service roles and within financial institutions. Automated decisioning will be responsible for tasks such as approving loans, deciding whether a customer should be onboarded or identifying corruption and financial crime.

Organisations will benefit from an increase in productivity as a result of greater automation, meaning more revenue will generated. This thus provides additional money to spend on supporting jobs in the services sector.
