Robert Frost And Eliot

ln perceiving the 'pastoral' T S Eliot and Robert Frost are alike. Both of them assume a world composed oI isolated levels of being, and thus both tend to see experience and portray it as a totality of sharply ditferinO contexts. Where Frost iuxtaposes rural and urban life, the regional and the cosmopolitan, the human and the natural, Eliot contrasts the social classes and holds up disparate historicel periods for comparison. ln Frosts' poetry the regional world is kept quite separate froni the everyday life of urban sociely, and nature lrom the level of human experience, yel the separate contexts though never allowed to merge, are held together by. the contrasl between them, which creates a conslant reference from one to another and an awareness of ironic parallels. Frost is an intellectual as well as chronological contemporary o, the symbolist poets and this pastoral mode, while leading to a kind of poetry quite ditferent from that of symbolism, belongs in the same chapter of literary history. ln his pastorals, Frost's dominant motive is to reasserl the value oI individual perception against the fragmenting of experience resulting from modern technology. They deal with one ol the most fundamental concerns oi the 20th century thought. Frost's solution to lhis problem involves a withdrawal from the modern city to an agrarian world which belongs to the past. He has in eflect found a retreat in one of those out of the way places when technology has not yet complicated life by separating man from the land. But this retreat ls of a special sort. He does not turn his back on the world of today nor does he advocate a return to the soil. 

There is in his regionalism no call Ior action or program for social reform, and as a matter oJ ract he insists over and over again that no program will ever resolve lhe basic conflicts in human life. His withdrawal must be distinguished from agrarianism. lt is the adopting of an artistic perspeclive. Lionell Trilling could find a dominant quality of terror in Frosts' poetry......" I think ol robert Frosl as a terrifying poet.....The universe that he conceives is a terrifying universe. The people of Frost's poems have done that with a vengeance. ln the interests of what great other thing these people have made this reiection we cannot know for certain. But we can guess that it was in the interest ol truth, of some truth of the sell. They aflirm this oI themselves, that they are what they are, that this is their truth and that if the truth be bare, as truth often is, it is far better than a lie. For me the process by which . they arrive at that truth is always terrifying". Frost's poetry retlects modern life. Frost does not depict the outward events and conditions, but the central facts of 20th century experience, the uncertainty and painful sense of loss are there and seem if anything more bleakly apparent in that their social and economic manifestations have been stripped away. The terror Frost expresses is the terror which comes and must come with the birth of something new. lt is the mark of a genuinely modern.poetry. Frost's view of conceptualizing and the role of symbols in human life reflects important strands o, thought in modern philosophy, anthropology and psychology. The kind il poeiry Frost writes can be best understood by observing the method  by which he has sought to make the present moment represent all other times, and the particular place he describes, the human situation it has always existed. His essenlial technique is that of pastoral. He has explained wide and manifold ranges of being by viewing reality within the mirror of the natural and unchanging world of rural life.

Robert Frost As Symbolist Poet

The apparent ditference between Frosts' verse and Symbolist poetry makes his work seem out of place in contemporary lit' erature. Yet if modern is a meaningful term, it is neither tair nor accurate lo deny him modernily He is not only a poet ot the 20th century but one who in his own way, deals with the very problem which is the concern of the symbolisls. The connection between

his art and the more characteristic modern poetry can best be seen. noting their structural resemblance. Both Frost and Symbolism tend to view realily through the perspective of contrasting levels of being. ln Frosts' nature poem this technique quite obviously results from his desire to recognise the validity of science. Thus despite his indebtedness to Romanticism, he must be seen as essentially anti-romantic, by insisting in the gulf separating man and nature, he directly opposes the romantic attempl to bring the two together. While the romantic sought a place for sensations, Ieelings and values within physical nature, he conceives of the physical world as a distinct level of being. And just because of this, he is able to avoid the assumption that the physical world comprises the whole

of reality. He can accept nature as the limited, purely physical world which science depicts and yet place il within a larger context which includes the realities of purpose, feeling and value. His method is to unify scientiiic nature and the realm of human experience, rrot by blending them, bui by viewing reality as a vista of distinct bul parallel planes.

Symbolist poetry should involve both a very strong historical orientation and a crilique of the concept of time. Poetry oI this kind require that the symbol be seen in its various manifestations and the means a constant reference backward from the presenl to other periods more or less remote. Thus symbolism creales a very acute awareness of the distance betvveen the past and the present and o, the passing ol time. lt also leads to ordinal of time and an historical sense which in Eliot's words 'involves perception not only ol the pastness of the past, but of its presence'.

Robert Frost The Man And The poet

C.P Snow in his Variety of Man saying very five things about Robert Frost observes "Frost was capable of acting, stripping of facades after facade like onion skins. He was sometimes a bit of a f raud". Farming his own romantic invention, many of his poems are the direct outcome of his experience as farmer. C p Snow calls him a true artist who wanted to write a great poem and be recognized as a great poet. "He letters contain many flashes ol self doubt..and the doubt gnawed very deep...often he was begging for reassurance. lt was certainly this need for reassurance that for Frost; made the award of the Nobel prize a yearly agony,,. For a long time , frost expected to get the Nobel prize and had to suffer disappointment, year after year. Snow lurther adds to his biographical sketch of Frost and admits that Frost had lived a life of rich and passionate experience. He had been through great suffering. Emotionally he had known everything, he was not a good man at all. He was neither mangnanimous nor serene..But another critic ol a higher calibre observes that "Truth has been Frosts' central passion... He has never given into the fashion of the moment in poetry or politics.

 His life was lifted to a high pitch oI feeling and who has the gift of making others share his excitement. The most characteristic quality of Frosts'poetry is its simple vocabulary, ils unaffected

dicition, its lack or rhetoric. But using the language of ordinary speech he builds, haunting unforgettable phrases and lines. He makes his verses talk and sing. The pulse of his verse is time to

the heart beat oJ the world. Frosts' poems are simple. Even his rhyme' rhythm and poetic devices are son unobtrusive that a casual reader will miss them at the first reading. Frost evidently follows the dictum art lies in hiding art. His life as a tarmer afforded Frost opportunity for direct observation o, Nature and Man, and also provided him with lhe leisure needed lor calm meditation on what he observed. Frost had the knack of observing everything keenly and speculating deeply on everything observed. He could make humble things exciting. His poem is never a mere transcript of actuality. Every object through deep meditation is sublimated and made to have far reaching signilicance. Signt and institution, wisdom and whimsy - these go into his process ol verse making. lt is poetry rising out of deep personal experience of lire, expressing profoundly felt emotions and realized thoughts. lt is as he called it locative art as opposed to abstract or cosmopolitan art; it is art rooted in a place, the place

being the country side of  New England.

Robert Frost-Life and Works (1874 - 1963)

 Robert Frost was born on March 26, .1974, in San Francisco,Californla where he spent his boyhood. When Robert was ten, his father died and his mother took him to New England. Where he had his schooling. ln 1892 he graduated and enGred Dart Mouth  College. After this he began helping his mother in her school and incidentally he was reporting for two newspapers. Even at fhe age of fourteen he took to writing poems. The ballad that he wrote when he was Iourteen he took to him to poetry. The ballad that he wrote when he was fourteen, got published by Lawrence High School Bulletin. At the age of nineteen one of hii poems got published in "The independent,, and he earned 2i5 for the sime. He got married to Elinor Miriam White at the age ol 21, and two years after his marriage he entered Harvard with an aim top get a degree but In vain. Soon he become a carelaker of the faim given to him by his grandfather, but he did not earn much as he ex-pected. To lead nis life he had to do some other job. So he took to teach_ ing though he had decided to become a poet. He believed that the life of a farmer would provide him with enough time to pursue his hearts' desire, besides affording poetic mate;ial. 

He was prepared to put up with hardship. Later the Frosts,had to sell the iarm and they decided to go to England. ln 1912 the Frosts sailed to England. First thelt settled down in Baconsfield and atter a year they started farming in Gloucestershire. Frost then thought of ;n excellent.idea. He had a fairly large collection of poemJ written during the last twenty years. Mrs. Nutt agreed to publish the poems. That was how Frost's A Boy's Will, got published. The English review_ ers gave it warm welcome encouraged by which Frolt published 'North of Boston', the nexi year in 19.l4. This was received with far great acclaim. "Mr. Frost has turned the living speech of men and women into poetry, observed poet Wilfred. Wilson Gibson while reviewing "North ol Boston'. ln the words of other critics Frost suc_ ceeded in expressing in very few words more truths than volumes of ordlnary rhetoric can expiess',. Returning to America in 1915, Frost bought a iarm in New Hampshere. Frost's academic career took him to various coileges and universities to work in the next twenty years, from 1916 to 1936. As poet in residence at Michigan he enjoyed partronager and popularity venerated by students and staff as a greal iather figure. NO professional writer has spent so much time in contact with academic life. During these years ol fame, Frost brought out collections of poems at regular intervals.

He was awarded the Pulitzer prize four times- the only poet ever to achieve that quadruple distinction. His greatesl moment came when at the inauguration of president Kennedy, Frost, as the national poet was asked to read a poem that he had composed for the occasion. He recited the well-known poem ,The Gift Outright'. Frost died in January 1963 just before his eighty-ninth birthday

Which bridge is the longest rail-cum-road bridge in India ?

Bogibeel bridge is a combined road and rail bridge over the Brahmaputra River in the northeastern Indian state of Assam between Dhemaji district and Dibrugarh district, which was started in the year 2002 and took a total of 200 months to complete, Bogibeel river bridge is the longest rail-cum-road bridge in India, measuring 4.94 kilometres over the Brahmaputra river. As it is situated in an earthquake-prone area it is India's first bridge to have fully welded steel-concrete support beams that can withstand earthquakes of magnitudes up to 7 on the Richter Scale. It is Asia’s 2nd longest rail-cum-road bridge and has a serviceable period of around 120 years. It is the 5th longest bridge in India after Bhupen Hazarika Setu, Dibang River Bridge, Mahatma Gandhi Setu and Bandra-Worli Sea Link. The bridge was constructed by a consortium of construction companies headed by Hindustan Construction Company. The bridge has a double rail line on the lower deck and a 3 lane road on the upper deck.

It was inaugurated by prime minister Narendra Modi on 25th December 2018 on the occasion of Good Governance Day.

The Bogibeel bridge traces its origins to the Assam Accord of 1985 and was one of several major infrastructural projects to be set up in Assam in accordance with the pact. It was sanctioned by the Government of India in 1997-98 and was expected to be completed by the end of the Ninth Five Year Plan. The foundation of the bridge was laid in January 1997 by Prime Minister H.D.Deva Gowda, but its construction was inaugurated only in 2002 by Prime Minister, A.B. Vajpayee.The project was to be completed in six years following the inauguration, however the work did not begin until 2007, owing to lack of funds and attention. Consequently, that same year, the Bogibeel bridge was granted a national project status by the Government of India in 2007 by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, but the implementation was slow, notwithstanding a Congress government in Assam. Accordingly, the Union Ministry of Finance funded 75% of the project costs while the Ministry of Railways financed the rest. The actual work on the project only began in 2011.

In April 2008, the Northeast Frontier Railway contracted Gammon India to construct the sub-structure of the bridge while a consortium of Hindustan Construction Company, DSD Brückenbau GmbH, Germany and VNR Infrastructures won the bid to build the superstructure.

The bridge witnessed huge time and cost overruns over time. The cost, initially estimated at ₹1,767 crore (US$250 million), escalated to ₹4,996 crore (US$700 million) by 2014. According to a press release by the Indian Ministry of Railway on 25 July 2014, in the main bridge, 36 out of 42 well foundations and 28 out of 40 piers had been completed, while 2 out of 41 girders had been launched. An expenditure of ₹3,041 crore (US$430 million) was incurred on the project till March 2014, and a further outlay of ₹600 crore (US$84 million) was sanctioned for the year 2014-2015. The project was now expected to be completed by March 2017. However, a correspondent writing in The Hindu Business Line revealed that when he visited the project in July 2014, only 15 out of the 42 piers were "coming up", while the work on the rest had "barely" begun.

On 2 December 2018, the bridge opened as the first freight train crossed it. On 25 December, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Bogibeel bridge, on the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and also flag off an intercity express connecting Tinsukia and Naharlagun. The overall cost of the project ultimately escalated to ₹5,960 crore (US$840 million). The total length of the bridge also increased from 4.31 kilometres (2.68 mi) to 4.94 kilometres (3.07 mi).

What is The Scientific Revolution ?

The Scientific Revolution was a series of events that marked the emergence of modern science during the early modern period, when developments in mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology (including human anatomy) and chemistry transformed the views of society about nature. The Scientific Revolution took place in Europe towards the end of the Renaissance period and continued through the late 18th century, influencing the intellectual social movement known as the Enlightenment. While its dates are debated, the publication in 1543 of Nicolaus Copernicus's De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres) is often cited as marking the beginning of the Scientific Revolution.

The concept of a scientific revolution taking place over an extended period emerged in the eighteenth century in the work of Jean Sylvain Bailly, who saw a two-stage process of sweeping away the old and establishing the new. The beginning of the Scientific Revolution, the 'Scientific Renaissance', was focused on the recovery of the knowledge of the ancients; this is generally considered to have ended in 1632 with publication of Galileo's Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems. The completion of the Scientific Revolution is attributed to the "grand synthesis" of Isaac Newton's 1687 Principia. The work formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation thereby completing the synthesis of a new cosmology. By the end of the 18th century, the Age of Enlightenment that followed Scientific Revolution had given way to the "Age of Reflection."

What is The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) ?

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD; French: Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques, OCDE) is an intergovernmental economic organisation with 36 member countries, founded in 1961 to stimulate economic progress and world trade. It is a forum of countries describing themselves as committed to democracy and the market economy, providing a platform to compare policy experiences, seek answers to common problems, identify good practices and coordinate domestic and international policies of its members. Most OECD members are high-income economies with a very high Human Development Index (HDI) and are regarded as developed countries. As of 2017, the OECD member countries collectively comprised 62.2% of global nominal GDP (US$49.6 trillion) and 42.8% of global GDP (Int$54.2 trillion) at purchasing power parity. The OECD is an official United Nations observer.

In 1948, the OECD originated as the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation (OEEC),led by Robert Marjolin of France, to help administer the Marshall Plan (which was rejected by the Soviet Union and its satellite states). This would be achieved by allocating United States financial aid and implementing economic programs for the reconstruction of Europe after World War II. (Similar reconstruction aid was sent to the war-torn Republic of China and post-war Korea, but not under the name "Marshall Plan".)

In 1961, the OEEC was reformed into the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development by the Convention on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and membership was extended to non-European states. The OECD's headquarters are at the Château de la Muette in Paris, France. The OECD is funded by contributions from member countries at varying rates and had a total budget of €386 million in 2019

Organic beans News

Organic beans are produced and processed without the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides..

There are three major types of organic beans: dry beans, snap beans (also known as green beans), and soybeans. The mature seeds of dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) serve as a protein source in a variety of foods worldwide. Dry beans and snap beans are the same species, although dry beans are distinguished from snap beans (green beans) which are consumed as immature pods.[3] Dry and snap beans also differ from soybeans (Glycine max), in which the seeds are consumed in a variety of processed forms such as tofu, soybean meal, oil, and fermented forms such as miso. Dry beans are divided into classes with a range of seed sizes, colors, and shapes. Examples include black beans, pintos, navy beans, small red beans, and kidney beans. Soybeans are usually divided into two groups, feed-grade and food-grade, with the food-grade including soybeans for processing, "tofu-beans", and edamame, the latter of which is eaten as immature beans.

Example of disease management: The onset of certain diseases, such as white mold, can be reduced by planting in rows wide enough to allow adequate air movement which can reduce humidity and decrease drying time after precipitation events. If plant material is allowed to dry quickly it will not have the 9 to 48 hours of continuous moisture on the leaf surface required for the white mold infection to occur.

Organically approved pesticides
Some naturally derived chemical products are permitted for use under organic production. All materials have to be reviewed and approved by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI). Examples of organically allowable pesticides that can be used to produce organic beans include:

Neem oil - Used as an insecticide
Acetic acid - Used as a herbicide
Pyrethrum - Broad spectrum insecticide derived from Chrysanthemum
Bacillus subtilis - Used as a fungicide
Bacillus thuringiensis - Used as an insecticide
Fertility
Because synthetic fertilizers are not permitted in organic production systems, fertility must come from sources such as:

Green manures (cover crops)
Composts and compost teas
Livestock manures
Rock minerals- such as limestone, gypsum, and rock phosphate

What is Global warming ?

Global warming is the ongoing rise of the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and has been demonstrated by direct temperature measurements and by measurements of various effects of the warming. It is a major aspect of climate change which, in addition to rising global surface temperatures, also includes its effects, such as changes in precipitation. While there have been prehistoric periods of global warming, observed changes since the mid-20th century have been unprecedented in rate and scale.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that, "human influence on climate has been the dominant cause of observed warming since the mid-20th century". These findings have been recognized by the national science academies of major nations and are not disputed by any scientific body of national or international standing. The largest human influence has been the emission of greenhouse gases, with over 90% of the impact from carbon dioxide and methane. Fossil fuel burning is the principal source of these gases, with agricultural emissions and deforestation also playing significant roles.

The effects of global warming include rising sea levels, regional changes in precipitation, more frequent extreme weather events such as heat waves, and expansion of deserts. Surface temperature increases are greatest in the Arctic, which have contributed to the retreat of glaciers, permafrost, and sea ice. Overall, higher temperatures bring more rain and snowfall, but for some regions droughts and wildfires increase instead. Climate change threatens to diminish crop yields, harming food security, and rising sea levels may flood coastal infrastructure. Environmental impacts include the extinction or relocation of many species as their ecosystems change, most immediately in coral reefs, mountains, and the Arctic. The IPCC includes ocean acidification with these effects because it is caused by the increased CO2 levels that drive climate change. Some impacts, such as loss of snow cover, increased water vapour, and melting permafrost, cause feedback effects that further increase the rate of global warming.

Mitigation efforts to address global warming include the development and deployment of low carbon energy technologies, policies to reduce fossil fuel emissions, reforestation, forest preservation, as well as the development of potential climate engineering technologies. Societies and governments are also working to adapt to current and future global warming impacts, including improved coastline protection, better disaster management, and the development of more resistant crops.

Countries work together on climate change under the umbrella of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which has near-universal membership. The ultimate goal of the convention is to "prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system".Although the parties to the UNFCCC have agreed that deep cuts in emissions are required and that global warming should be limited to well below 2 °C (3.6 °F) in the Paris Agreement of 2016, the Earth's average surface temperature has already increased by about half this threshold. With current policies and pledges, global warming by the end of the century is expected to reach just over 2 °C to 4 °C, depending on how sensitive the climate is to emissions. The IPCC has stressed the need to keep global warming below 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) compared to pre-industrial levels in order to avoid irreversible impacts. At the current greenhouse gas (GHG) emission rate, the carbon budget for staying below 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) would be exhausted by 2028

What is side job ?

A side job, also informally called a side hustle or side gig, is an additional job that a person takes in addition to their primary job in order to supplement their income. Side jobs may be done out of necessity, when one's income from their main job is insufficient to support them, or simply out of a desire to earn more income. Working a side job can also, informally, be called moonlighting, usually when it is performed after normal working hours. A side job can be a full-time job, part-time job, or freelance job, and a person can hold more than one side job.

In the modern day, side jobs have been gaining in popularity in America due to stagnating wage growth that has not kept up with the rising cost of living, with nearly a third of those with side jobs requiring them to stay afloat as of 2019. Additionally, nearly half of all Americans report having a side job, including 43 percent of full-time workers. However, the most common reason workers take on side jobs is to obtain additional disposable income. In the United Kingdom, 60 percent of students and graduates reported having a side job, and 43 percent required it to pay their rent.

Millennials are the most likely to have a side job, usually in order to have a financial "safety net", leading to them being considered the "side hustle generation". Some of them end up leaving their 9-5 job in order to pursue their side hustle full-time.However, they are also common as a means to pay off student loans, as well as to leverage one's creativity in ways that would normally not be feasible in the typical workplace. When a person's primary job only provides income so that they may pursue their preferred side job, it is typically known as a "day job".

WHAT IS REALITY?

Reality is the sum or aggregate of all that is real or existent within a system, as opposed to that which is only imaginary. The term is also used to refer to the ontological status of things, indicating their existence. In physical terms, reality is the totality of a system, known and unknown. Philosophical questions about the nature of reality or existence or being are considered under the rubric of ontology, which is a major branch of metaphysics in the Western philosophical tradition. Ontological questions also feature in diverse branches of philosophy, including the philosophy of science, philosophy of religion, philosophy of mathematics, and philosophical logic. These include questions about whether only physical objects are real (i.e., Physicalism), whether reality is fundamentally immaterial (e.g., Idealism), whether hypothetical unobservable entities posited by scientific theories exist, whether God exists, whether numbers and other abstract objects exist, and whether possible worlds exist.

The Maha Pushkaram ("Great Pushkaram") takes place once every 144 years. next in 2159

Godavari Maha Pushkaram (Great Worship of the Godavari River) was a Hindu festival held from 14 July to 25 July 2015. This festival occurs once every 144 years, corresponding to the 12th recurrence of the 12-year Godavari Pushkaram cycle.

The festival starts from the Ashadha (June/July) month on the Chaturdashi day (thithi) (14th day), when planet Jupiter enters the zodiac sign of Leo. The festival is "theoretically" observed throughout the twelve months that the planet remains in that sign, but the first 12 days are considered most sacred. The first 12 days of the Godavari Pushkaram are known as "Aadhi Pushkaram" and the last 12 days are titled "Anthya Pushkaralu". The next Maha Pushkaram will be celebrated in 2159.

At least 27 pilgrims, 13 of them women, died and 20 others injured in a stampede at a major bathing spot on the banks of the Godavari river where a huge crowd of devotees had gathered on the opening day of 'Pushkaram' festival.

Pushkaram is an Indian festival dedicated to worshiping of 12 sacred rivers. The celebration happens annually, once in 12 years along each river. Each river is associated with a zodiac sign, and the river for each year's festival is based on which sign Bruhaspathi (Jupiter) is in at the time. It is believed that bathing in the sacred river during Pushkaram cleanses the devotees of their sins.

Godavari is one of the 12 sacred rivers, and the Godavari Pushkaram takes place once every 12 years, when the Jupiter is in the Leo sign. The Maha Pushkaram ("Great Pushkaram") takes place once every 144 years.

The 2015 Godavari Pushkaram is believed to be a Maha Pushkaram, which happens once in 144 years. During the year 2015, Jupiter enters Leo on 14 July 2015 (Tuesday) at 6.26 AM, when the Maha Pushkaram begins, and ends after 12 days on 25 July 2015 (Saturday).

Multiple almanac writers and other skeptics have disputed that the 2015 Godavari Pushkaram is a "Maha Pushkaram". According to Hanmanthavajjula Subrahmanya Sarma, the president of State Drukghanitha Almanac Writers’ Association, the "theory of 144 years is a myth", and nobody knows "who calculated it and how they calculated it.

The Maha Pushkaram festival in 2015 attracted 48.1 million people in Andhra Pradesh and 57 million people in the Telangana state link from all parts of India.On this occasion, it is essential to take a holy dip in the Godavari River to get the supposed benefits of better physical and mental abilities. The Governments of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have made all arrangements for this event in their respective states by constructing ghats for bathing and improving road communications, basic amenities of water supply and sanitation, and security. In Andhra Pradesh. the budget allocated for improvement of infrastructure facilities is INR 1,295 crores.

An emblem titled "Godavari Maha Pushkaram 2015" and "Godavari Pushkaramalu" has been adopted by the state governments for this festival, and a special organization under the same name has also been instituted to address all issues related to the smooth functioning of the festive event. The emblem or logo with a simple design has lines to denote the rapid flow conditions of the Godavari River, a "jyoti" a glowing light, and the representation of offering oblation, called "Arghyam", to Surya, the Sun god.

Another symbolic event  proposed during the festival is to hold "Sobha Yatra", a procession carrying the sacred waters of the Godavari River to be mixed with water bodies in all the villages in the 13 districts which lie within the ambit of the Godavari River.

A religious symbolic performance called the "Godavari Harathi", a ritual of worship with a number of lamps, similar to the Ganga Aarti that is conducted on the banks of the Ganges in Varanasi, is also proposed to be held at Rajahmundry where the river flows out to the sea

https://www.speedtest.net/ is a web service that provides free analysis of Internet access performance metrics, such as connection data rate and latency. It was founded by Ookla in 2006, and is based in Seattle, Washington, U.S.A.

The service measures the bandwidth (speed) and latency of an Internet connection against one of 8,000 geographically dispersed servers (as of November 2019). Each test measures the data rate for the download direction, i.e. from the server to the user computer, and the upload data rate, i.e. from the user's computer to the server. The tests are performed within the user's web browser or within apps. As of September 2018, over 21 billion speed tests have been completed.

Tests were previously performed using the HTTP protocol at Layer 7 of the OSI model. To further improve accuracy, Speedtest.net now performs tests via direct Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) sockets and uses a custom protocol for communication between servers and clients.

The site also offers detailed statistics based on test results. This data has been used by numerous publications in the analysis of Internet access data rates around the world.

The technology of Speedtest.net is similar to that of Ookla NetGauge, which is provided to a wide variety of companies and organizations on a licensed basis. Speedtest.net Mini was a free, stripped-down Flash version of the speed test technology used on Speedtest.net that users could run on their own web server, however it was replaced in 2016 with Speedtest Custom, an HTML5-based tool

.In 2016, Speedtest began releasing market reports for different countries and cities, providing raw statistics regarding download and upload speeds for the past year for ISPs and mobile carriers. It also includes analysis of the current ISP and mobile markets of the respective country and breakdowns by region and city. ISPs and mobile carriers are ranked by their geographic performance.
