Dear Readers
I personally believe that ‘If books are our best friends, creative
writing
is the mirror of our personality’.
The Vidyalaya Patrika is published every year to bring out the best
of
the individual talents. The aim of publishing the Vidyalaya Patrika
is to
form a resourceful bend in the young minds of students towards art
and
literature and foster their creative talents. The school magazine
is a
medium to nurture such talents as it offers many opportunities to
write that opens avenues
for these budding writers.
The magazine highlights the achievements of the bygone year. At the
same time its contents
speaks in volume about the ability of the students soaring high in
the world of imagination.
I thank Mrs.Mamta Singh, the Principal of the Vidyalaya for her
valuable suggestions in
bringing out of this e-magazine.

20.STATUE OF UNITY
The Statue of Unity is a colossal statue of Indian statesman and
independence activist
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (1875–1950) and located in the state of
Gujarat, India. It is the
world's tallest statue with a height of 182 metres (597 ft). It is
located on a river island facing
the SardarSarovar Dam on the river Narmada in Kevadiya colony, 100
kilometers (62 mi)
southeast of the city of Vadodara. At the time, the project was
dubbed, "Gujarat's tribute to
the nation".
A special purpose vehicle named the SardarVallabhbhai Patel
RashtriyaEkta Trust
(SVPRET) was constituted by the Government of Gujarat for executing
the project. Turner
Construction, Michael Graves and Associates and the Meinhardt Group
supervised the
project. It took 56 months to complete – 15 months for planning, 40
months for construction
and two months for handing over by the consortium. The total cost
of the project was
estimated to be about [20.63 billion (US$290 million) by the
government]. The tender bids
for the first phase were invited in October 2013 and were closed in
November 2013. Over
128,000 tourists visited it in 11 days since it was opened to the
public on November 1, 2018 .
It was designed by Indian sculptor Ram V. Sutar, and was
inaugurated by Indian Prime
Minister NarendraModi on 31 October 2018, the 143rd anniversary of
Patel's birth.

22.Tesla DID NIKOLA TESLA LEAVE US A KEY TO FREE ENERGY?
TESLA’S PLAN TO PROVIDE FREE ENERGY TO THE WORLD WAS SCRAPPED BY
BANKERS. BUT
CAN WE IMPLEMENT HIS TECHNOLOGY TODAY?
We have many reasons to thank Nikola Tesla when it comes to modern
technology, but had
capitalistic greed not stood in his way, Tesla’s contributions to
society could have gone
significantly further. Despite his mental breakdowns later in life
that were likely caused by
detractors and capitalists who refuted his utopian visions for
society, Tesla created a
plethora of inventions, with the goal of transmitting energy to the
world at little to no cost.
While Tesla is known for his advancements regarding AC power, radio
transmission and
induction motors, there is one vision of his that hasn’t fully come
to fruition and that is the
wireless transfer of energy. While the Tesla coil is commonly
recognized and found at most
science museums, the basis of the technology behind it is still in
its infancy of development
for practical use.
Wireless charging has just over the past few years become a
feasible technological product,
but its scale has yet to reach the level at which Tesla originally
envisioned it. While some
companies have used the concept to create wireless charging devices
for cell phones and
small electronic devices, Tesla’s original intent was to provide a
wireless network of power
for anyone in the world to tap into.
THE WARDENCLYFFE TOWER
Tesla initially created his Tesla Coil in Colorado Springs on
Pike’s Peak to experiment and
test his idea of creating a wireless power grid for the world.
There he was given free power
from the local utility, as well as funding for his lab. At his
Pike’s Peak lab, Tesla could test his
theory, creating electrical arcs that were essentially man-made
lightning that could be seen
for miles. Tesla proved that with this invention he could
wirelessly power light bulbs. This
attracted the attention of J.P. Morgan who offered financing for
Tesla’s tour de force, the
Wardenclyffe tower in New York, a massive magnifying transmitter,
also known as a high
power harmonic oscillator. The Wardenclyffe tower was built to be
187 feet tall and
anchored 300 feet into the ground. When Marconi beat Tesla at
wireless radio transmission
across the Atlantic, Tesla changed his plan for the Wardenclyffe
tower to transmit free
energy to the entire world.
The energy was created by traditional means and cost money to
generate, but Tesla’s tower
intended to make it possible to transmit the power for free by
creating a channel between
the Earth and the ionosphere for anyone to tap into. Aside from
needing more money to
accomplish this, J.P. Morgan was threatened at the prospect of free
energy. After all, he
was a titan of his industry in copper, a major conductor of
electricity, as well as a capitalist
whose work centersaround profiting from others.
RUSSIAN RESEARCH
While it apparently hasn’t been active since the Soviet era, there
is a massive Tesla Tower in
Russia that is still functional. Not much is known about the
compound which is called the
High Voltage Marx and Tesla Generators Research Facility in the
middle of a forest 40 miles
outside of Moscow.
The facility can supposedly generate enough electricity to power
the entire country, for a
period of… a millionth of a second. The operation costs of the
tower are also said to be very
high. While the practicality of the facility might be part of the
reason why it is inoperable, it
is intriguing nonetheless. What else could potentially be gleaned
from this facility if it were
given funding to operate again?
Legendary Tesla towers are operational in Russia
Many people still dream about wireless power transmission that
Tesla developed back in
1870s. Scientists are still puzzled how the genius scientists
managed to do this, however the
“Wardenclyffe Tower” or more popular name Tesla Tower was built on
the Manhattan
Island in 1900’s. Project was never completed, most likely due to
lack of money income for
his experiments. He believed that his Tower projects would be the
most effective electric
systems in world where he could produce and transfer vast amount of
energy across great
distances. Imagine the world without all those electrical cables in
household, neighborhood
and between cities? It sounds great, and that’s just what he had in
mind!
Russian “Tesla tower” can produce so much power with single
lightning hit equal to all
power generation facilities in all of Russia.
Today scientists are close to wireless power transmission dream of
genius Nikola Tesla.
Funny thing is the person that is making the most progress on this
area is again a person
from Croatia, young scientist called Marin Soljacic. If Soljacic
team manages to complete
their wireless transmission it will be another scientific
breakthrough that will change our
world beyond recognition, to a better stance we hope!
What Tesla had in mind and never managed to complete beyond mere
trials is what now
Croatian scientist might manage to do. With already built Tesla
towers in Russia that have
the option to store electrical energy but still need to transmit it
via cables, we might be
entering a new era of development of human civilization.
A few years ago, two Russian scientists, who also happened to be
brothers, started a crowd
funding campaign to build a massive magnifying transmitter with
modern materials to finish
what Tesla started and provide energy to the world. The
construction costs for the tower
were set at $800,000, however it was never reached. The brothers
claimed to have proven
the feasibility of the project based on models run in computer
software, as well as their
belief in Tesla’s proof of concept.
Unfortunately, their funding goal was never reached and there was
another cost-related
gap that was left out of the equation, funding for the generation
of the energy itself. The
brothers proved that an area of 100 square kilometers situated
around the equator and
filled with solar panels would be sufficient to meet the world’s
energy demands. The cost of
building solar panels to fill that area however, is estimated at
about $20 trillion.

History
NarendraModi first announced the project to commemorate
SardarVallabhbhai Patel on 7 October 2010 at a press
conference to mark the beginning of his 10th year as the Chief
Minister of Gujarat. At the time, the project was
dubbed, "Gujarat's tribute to the nation". A special purpose
vehicle named the SardarVallabhbhai Patel
RashtriyaEkta Trust (SVPRET) was constituted by the Government of
Gujarat for executing the project.
A outreach drive named the Statue of Unity Movement was started to
support the construction of the statue. It
helped collect the iron needed for the statue by asking farmers to
donate their used farming instruments. By 2016,
total 135 metric tonnes of scrap iron had been collected and about
109 tonnes of it was used to make the
foundation of the statue after processing. A marathon entitled Run
For Unity was held on 15 December 2013 in
Suratin support of the project.
Design
The statue depicts Vallabhbhai Patel, one of the most prominent
leaders of the Indian independence movement, the
first Deputy Prime Minister of India, and responsible for the
unification of hundreds of princely states to form the
modern political boundary of India.
Construction
Approximate heights of various notable statues:
1. Statue of Unity 240 m (incl. 58 m base)
2. Spring Temple Buddha 153 m
(incl. 25 m pedestal and 20 m throne)
3. Statue of Liberty 93 m (incl. 47 m pedestal)
4. The Motherland Calls 87 m (incl. 2 m pedestal)
5. Christ the Redeemer 38 m (incl. 8 m pedestal)
6. Statue of David 5.17 m (excl. 2.5m plinth)
A consortium comprising Turner Construction, Michael Graves and
Associates and the Meinhardt Group supervised
the project. It took 56 months to complete – 15 months for
planning, 40 months for construction and two months
for handing over by the consortium. The total cost of the project
was estimated to be about 20.63 billion (US$290
million) by the government. The tender bids for the first phase
were invited in October 2013 and were closed in
November 2013.
Narendra Modi, then serving as Chief Minister of Gujarat, laid the
statue's foundation stone on 31 October 2013, the
138th anniversary of Patel's birth.
Indian infrastructure company Larsen & Toubro won the contract
on 27 October 2014 for its lowest bid of 29.89
billion (US$420 million) for the design, construction and
maintenance. They commenced the construction on 31
October 2014. In the first phase of the project, 13.47 billion were
for the main statue, 2.35 billion for the
exhibition hall and convention centre, 830 million for the bridge
connecting the memorial to the mainland and
6.57 billion for the maintenance of the structure for 15 years
after its completion. The Sadhu Bet hillock was
flattened from 70 to 55 metres to lay the foundation.
Features
Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the museum within the base
The Statue of Unity is the world's tallest statue at 182 metres
(597 ft). It rises 54 metres (177 ft) higher than the
previous record holder, the Spring Temple Buddha in China's Henan
province. Within India, the record was earlier
held by the 41 m (135 ft) statue of Hanuman at the ParitalaAnjaneya
Temple near Vijayawada in the state of Andhra
Pradesh. The statue can be seen within a 7 km (4.3 mi)
radius.
Narendra Modi visited at the base of statue of unity
The monument is constructed on a river island named Sadhu Bet, 3.2
km (2.0 mi) away from and facing the Narmada
Dam downstream.The statue and its surroundings occupy more than 2
hectares (4.9 acres),[citation needed] and are
surrounded by a 12 km (7.5 mi) long artificial lake formed by the
Garudeshwar weir downstream on the Narmada

Tourism
Over 128,000 tourists visited it in 11 days since it was opened to
the public on November 1, 2018. Buses take tourists
from the parking lot to the statue, as the area around the statue
is a "no private vehicle" zone. Elevators run from 3
to 5 pm to take tourists with tickets up to the observation deck at
the top. The statue remains closed every Monday
for maintenance.
You are there for me to continue
When I want to laugh
You are there to laugh with me
When I feel cry
You are my true friend

position to pray.

Cybercrime is any crime that takes place online or primarily
online. Cybercriminals often commit crimes by targeting computer
networks or devices. Cybercrime can range from security breaches to
identity theft. Other cybercrimes include things like “revenge
porn,” cyber-stalking, harassment, bullying, and child sexual
exploitation. Terrorists collaborate on the internet, moving
terrorist activities and crimes into cyberspace.
How to protect yourself against cybercrime
1. Use Strong Passwords Use different user ID / password
combinations for different accounts and avoid writing them down.
Make the passwords more complicated by combining letters, numbers,
special characters (minimum 10 characters in total) and change them
on a regular basis.
2. Secure your computer
o Activate your firewall Firewalls are the first line of cyber
defence; they block connections to unknown or bogus sites and will
keep out some types of viruses and hackers.
o Use anti-virus/malware software Prevent viruses from infecting
your computer by installing and regularly updating anti-virus
software.
o Block spyware attacks Prevent spyware from infiltrating your
computer by installing and updating anti-spyware software.
3. Be Social-Media Savvy Make sure your social networking profiles
(e.g. Facebook, Twitter, You tube, MSN, etc.) are set to private.
Check your security settings. Be careful what information you post
online. Once it is on the Internet, it is there forever!
4. Secure your Mobile Devices Be aware that your mobile device is
vulnerable to viruses and hackers. Download applications from
trusted sources.
5. Install the latest operating system updates Keep your
applications and operating system (e.g. Windows, Mac and Linux)
current with the latest system updates. Turn on automatic updates
to prevent potential attacks on older software.
6. Protect your Data Use encryption for your most sensitive files
such as tax returns or financial records, make regular back- ups of
all your important data, and store it in another location.
7. Secure your wireless network Wi-Fi (wireless) networks at home
are vulnerable to intrusion if they are not properly secured.
Review and modify default settings. Public Wi-Fi, a.k.a. “Hot
Spots”, is also vulnerable. Avoid conducting financial or corporate
transactions on these networks.
8. Protect your e-identity Be cautious when giving out personal
information such as your name, address, phone number or financial
information on the Internet. Make sure that websites are secure
(e.g. when making online purchases) or that you’ve enabled privacy
settings (e.g. when accessing/using social networking sites).
9. Avoid being scammed Always think before you click on a link or
file of unknown origin. Don’t feel pressured by any emails. Check
the source of the message. When in doubt, verify the source. Never
reply to emails that ask you to verify your information or confirm
your user ID or password.
10. Call the right person for help Don’t panic! If you are a
victim, if you encounter illegal Internet content (e.g. child
exploitation) or if you suspect a computer crime, identity theft or
a commercial scam, report this to your local police. If you need
help with maintenance or software installation on your computer,
consult with your service provider or a certified computer
technician.
