Tribute to The Mothers

A MOTHER is a woman has raised a child, given birth to a child, and/or supplied the egg wich in union with a sperm grew into a child.

Mother can often apply to a woman other than the biological parent, especially if she fulfills the main social role in raising the child. 

This is commonly either an adoptive mother or a stepmother (the biologically unrelated wife of a child's father).

Historically, the role of women was confined to some extent to being a mother and wife, with women being expected to dedicate most of their energy to these roles, and to spend most of their time taking care of the home.

In many cultures, women received significant help in performing these tasks from older female relatives, such as mothers in law or their own mothers.

Nearly all world religions define tasks or roles for mothers through either religious law or through the glorification of mothers who served in substantial religious events.

There are many examples of religious law relating to mothers and women.

Mother's Day is a celebration honoring mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society.

It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in spring (April–May in the northern hemisphere, October in Argentina, May, in Australia)

"Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children." ~ William Makepeace Thackeray

"A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them." ~ Victor Hugo

"All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother." ~ Abraham Lincoln 

"A mother's happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories" ~ Honore de Balzac

"When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child." ~ Sophia Loren

"Women have always been the strong ones of the world. The men are always seeking from women a little pillow to put their heads down on. They are always longing for the mother who held them as infants." ~ Coco Chanel

The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between. ~ Mother Teresa

Saint Francis Prayer

Saint Francis of Assisi (Italian: San Francesco d'Assis), born Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone, but nicknamed Francesco ("the Frenchman") by his father.

He was born at Assisi, a town of Umbria, in Italy, in the year 1182, under the Pontificate of Lucius III. He was a Catholic deacon and preacher. He also was the founder of the Order of Friars Minor, more commonly known as the Franciscans. Francis is perhaps the most universally loved and venerated religious figures in history and he is known  also as the patron saint of animals.

He proposed to himself to practise literally the precepts of the Gospel, to conform himself entirely to Jesus Christ crucified, and to inspire the whole world with God's love.

Such a purpose must seem great to all those who can appreciate true grandeur by the light of religion. In its contempt of the goods of the world, it manifests an elevation of mind far above the ostentation of the ancient philosophers, in its deep humiliations, an heroical courage; in its extreme simplicity, the most exalted sentiments; in its weakness, and in the apparent foolishness of the cross, the strength and wisdom of God.

The infidels themselves admired all this, and it will be not less meet to revive the fervor of Christians, and to increase the veneration they have always entertained for St. Francis.

St. Francis was simple, but he had great qualities of mind and heart; and his simplicity was a perfection in him-not a defect. He was simple because he had no other intention in his mind, no other movement in his heart, than to be conformed to Jesus Christ. In order to imitate His poverty, His humility, His sufferings, all His virtues, he did many things far above the ordinary rules of human wisdom; and, as to his language, it was formed on that of the Gospel. If it induced him to do things of which human prudence disapproves, it was because he was guided by Divine light; it was because he sought to be despised by the world, to render himself more conformable to Jesus Christ.

Men of his age were not deceived by it; they discovered the principle which made him act and speak with such simplicity. His constant endeavor to humble himself, and draw on himself contempt, only gave them a greater esteem for his person.

Their most frequent exercise was prayer, and that more mental than vocal. A wooden cross, of moderate size, which Francis had fixed in the middle of the hut, round which they prayed, served them instead of a book. They meditated on it unceasingly, and read in it with the eyes of faith, instructed by the example of their saintly chief, who often discoursed to them on the Passion and Cross of Jesus Christ.

The Peace Prayer of Saint Francis is attributed to him, an example of his universal love and selfless service.

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is error, truth;

Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light;

And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, 

Grant that I may not so much seek

To be consoled as to console;

To be understood as to understand;

To be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Where is the love?

Emotions are often felt in the body, and somatosensory feedback has been proposed to trigger conscious emotional experiences.

Human emotions mapped for the first time, shows where we feel love, fear, and shame.

Researchers in Finland have compiled the first authoritative atlas of “body maps” that detail where we feel emotions.

In experiments with 701 participants from Sweden, Finland, and Taiwan, two silhouettes of bodies were paired with facial expressions, stories, emotional words, or movies, and the participants were asked to color the regions of body images where they felt increasing (in yellow) or decreasing (in blue) sensation while viewing the stimuli. Black would indicate no change in sensation.

FATHER'S DAY

Father's Day is a celebration honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. Many countries celebrate it on the March 19 or on the third Sunday of June, but it is also celebrated widely on other days.

In the Roman Catholic tradition, Fathers are celebrated on Saint Joseph's Day, commonly called Feast of Saint  Joseph (Step-father of Jesus of Nazareth/Jesus Christ), March 19, though in certain countries Father's Day has become a secular celebration. It is also common for Catholics to honor their "spiritual father," their parish priest, on Father's Day.

Though Father's Day is not an Indian tradition, it is celebrated in India on the third Sunday of June. However, Pitru Amavasya is the day when Hindus honour their familial elders during Pitru Paksha (fortnight of the ancestors).

Father's day in Iran is celebrated on the 13th of Rajab, on the birth anniversary of Imam Ali, the first Imam of Shia Muslims; which looks more like a Muslim religious day than ancient Persia founded by real Persian ancestors. It is an occasion to complement mother's day and to celebrate fatherhood.

In Haiti, Father's Day (Fête des peres) is celebrated on the last Sunday of June. Fathers are recognized and celebrated on this day with cards, gifts,breakfast, lunch brunch or early Sunday dinner; whether enjoying the day at the beach or mountains, spending family time or doing activities that make Dad happiest, its all about Dad. Children exclaim "Bonne Fête Papa!", while everyone wishes all fathers "Bonne fête des Pères" (Happy Father's Day).

What is LOVE

LOVE

Refers to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes

Love is one thing which as different meaning in various department. If we look into dictionary for love its just affection and attachment between men and women.

In scientific aspect love is something different and love is combination of biology, chemistry, physics,social & physiology.

Love can be stated as old as humanity, Its one of the few thinks living on Earth even before caste, religion, country, race etc started.

Love always been emotional and cheerful matter.

Ancient Greeks identified four forms of love: kinship or familiarity, friendship, sexual and/or romantic desire (eros), and  self-emptying or divine love (agape).

Modern authors have distinguished further varieties of romantic love. 

Non-Western traditions have also distinguished variants or sumbioses of these states.

Spiritual theories consider love to be a gift from God; and theories that consider love to be an unexplainable mystery, very much like a mystical experience.

Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.

Love may be understood as a function to keep human beings together against menaces and to facilitate the continuation of the species.

This diversity of uses and meanings combined with the complexity of the feelings involved makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, compared to other emotional states.

Firefly

Lampyridae is a family of insects in the beetle order Coleoptera. 

They are winged beetles, and commonly called fireflies or lightning bugs for their conspicuouscrepuscular use of bioluminescence to attract mates or prey. 

These small animals were discussed not merely by the scientist but frequently appeared in literature, prose and poetry, and also played a prominent part in folklore and medicinal remedies.

There are about 2,000 firefly species. These insects live in a variety of warm environments, as well as in more temperate regions, and are a familiar sight on summer evenings. 

Fireflies love moisture and often live in humid regions of Asia and the Americas. In drier areas, they are found around wet or damp areas that retain moisture.

Fireflies produce a "cold light", with no infrared or ultraviolet frequencies. This chemically produced light from the lower abdomen may be yellow, green, or pale red, with wavelengths from 510 to 670 nanometers.

Fireflies have dedicated light organs that are located under their abdomens. The insects take in oxygen and, inside special cells, combine it with a substance called luciferin to produce light with almost no heat.  To make light, the luciferin combines with oxygen to form an inactive molecule called oxyluciferin.

Firefly light is usually intermittent, and flashes in patterns that are unique to each species. Each blinking pattern is an optical signal that helps fireflies find potential mates. Scientists are not sure how the insects regulate this process to turn their lights on and off.

Firefly light may also serve as a defense mechanism that flashes a clear warning of the insect's unappetizing taste. The fact that even larvae are luminescent lends support to this theory.

Some areas once had so many fireflies that they profited from running firefly tours in marshes and forests—but since human traffic has increased, firefly populations have gone down. Logging, pollution and increased use of pesticides may also contribute to destroying firefly habitat and natural prey.

Fireflies are medically and scientifically useful.

The two chemicals found in a firefly's tail, luciferase and luciferin, light up in the presence of ATP. Every animal has ATP in its cells in amounts that are more or less constant—or should be. In diseased cells, the amount of ATP may be abnormal. If the chemicals from fireflies are injected into diseased cells, they can detect changes in cells that can be used to study many diseases, from cancer to muscular dystrophy.

But that's not all they're used for. Electronic detectors built with these chemicals have been fitted into spacecraft to detect life in outer space, as well as food spoilage and bacterial contamination on earth.

BRAIN

The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals. The brain is the most complex organ in a vertebrate's body. 

It is located in the head, usually close to the primary sensory organs for such senses as vision, hearing, balance, taste and smell. 

In a typical human the cerebral cortex (the largest part) is estimated to contain 15–33 billion neurons, each connected by synapses to several thousand other neurons. These neurons communicate with one another by means of long protoplasmic fibers called axons, which carry trains of signal pulses called action potentials to distant parts of the brain or body targeting specific recipient cells.

Physiologically, the function of the brain is to exert centralized control over the other organs of the body. 

The brain acts on the rest of the body both by generating patterns of muscle activity and by driving the secretion of chemicals called hormones. This centralized control allows rapid and coordinated responses to changes in the environment. Some basic types of responsiveness such as reflexes can be mediated by the spinal cord or peripheral ganglia, but sophisticated purposeful control of behavior based on complex sensory input requires the information-integrating capabilities of a centralized brain.

From a philosophical point of view, what makes the brain special in comparison to other organs is that it forms the physical structure associated with the mind. As Hippocrates put it: "Men ought to know that from nothing else but the brain come joys, delights, laughter and sports, and sorrows, griefs, despondency, and lamentations."

Understanding the relationship between the brain and the mind is a great challenge. It is very difficult to imagine how mental entities such as thoughts and emotions could be implemented by physical entities such as neurons and synapses, or by any other type of mechanism. 

The difficulty was expressed by Gottfried Leibniz in an analogy known as Leibniz's Mill:

One is obliged to admit that perception and what depends upon it is inexplicable on mechanical principles, that is, by figures and motions. In imagining that there is a machine whose construction would enable it to think, to sense, and to have perception, one could conceive it enlarged while retaining the same proportions, so that one could enter into it, just like into a windmill. Supposing this, one should, when visiting within it, find only parts pushing one another, and never anything by which to explain a perception.

— Leibniz, Monadology

The most promising approaches treat the brain as a biological computer, very different in mechanism from an electronic computer, but similar in the sense that it acquires information from the surrounding world, stores it, and processes it in a variety of ways, analogous to the central preocessing unit (CPU) in a computer.
