MENTION THREE AUTHORS WHO WROTE ABOUT HARSHAVARDHANA.

Buddhism teaches to follow eight fold path:

1. Right View. The right way to think about life is to see the world through the eyes of the Buddha--with wisdom and compassion.

?2. Right Thought. We are what we think. Clear and kind thoughts build good, strong characters.?

3. Right Speech. By speaking kind and helpful words, we are respected and trusted by everyone.?

4. Right Conduct. No matter what we say, others know us from the way we behave. Before we criticize others, we should first see what we do ourselves.?

5. Right Livelihood. This means choosing a job that does not hurt others. The Buddha said, "Do not earn your living by harming others. Do not seek happiness by making others unhappy."

?6. Right Effort. A worthwhile life means doing our best at all times and having good will toward others. This also means not wasting effort on things that harm ourselves and others.

?7. Right Mindfulness. This means being aware of our thoughts, words, and deeds.?

8. Right Concentration. Focus on one thought or object at a time. By doing this, we can be quiet and attain true peace of mind.

The production of?silk?originates in?China?in the?Neolithic?(Yangshao culture, 4th millennium BCE). Silk remained confined to China until the?Silk Road?opened at some point during the later half of the first millennium BCE. China maintained its virtual?monopoly?over?silk production?for another thousand years. Not confined to?clothing, silk was also used for a number of other applications, including writing, and the color of silk worn was an important guide of?social class?during the?Tang Dynasty.

Silk cultivation spread to Japan around 300 CE, and, by 522 CE, the?Byzantines?managed to obtain?silkworm?eggs and were able to begin silkworm cultivation. The Arabs also began to manufacture silk during this same time. As a result of the spread of?sericulture, Chinese silk exports became less important, although they still maintained dominance over the?luxury?silk market. The?Crusades?brought silk production to Western Europe, in particular to many Italian states, which saw an economic boom exporting silk to the rest of Europe. Changes in manufacturing techniques also began to take place during the Middle Ages, with devices such as the?spinning wheel?first appearing. During the 16th century France joined Italy in developing a successful silk trade, though the efforts of most other nations to develop a silk industry of their own were unsuccessful.

The?Industrial Revolution?changed much of Europe?s silk industry. Due to innovations in spinning?cotton, cotton became much cheaper to manufacture and therefore caused more expensive silk production to become less mainstream. New weaving technologies, however, increased the efficiency of production. Among these was the?Jacquard loom, developed for silk embroidery. An?epidemic?of several silkworm diseases caused production to fall, especially in France, where the industry never recovered. In the 20th century Japan and China regained their earlier role in silk production, and China is now once again the world?s largest producer of silk. The rise of new fabrics such as?nylon?reduced the prevalence of silk throughout the world, and silk is now once again a rare luxury good, much less important than in its heyday.

Windmills are the structures that convert wind energy into electrical energy and this energy is then supplied to our homes. But from where does this energy in the wind comes and moves the large blades of a windmill? Windmills run on the principle of mechanical energy and work. Moving air (wind) possesses some amount of energy in the form of kinetic energy (due to motion). This energy gives the air the ability to do work on the blades of the fan. The moving air applies force on the blades and enables the work to be done, hence, resulting in their rotation. Therefore, the mechanical energy gave wind the ability to do work on the blades of the fan.This interesting target sport illustrates another good example of mechanical energy and the work done by the object possessing it. The bowling ball consists of some amount of energy in the form of kinetic energy as soon as it starts rolling towards the target. Due to this energy, the ball has the ability to do work on the pins. When the ball hits those target pins, it (ball) applies force (in the form of mechanical energy) and displaces them, hence, causing work to be done. Therefore, here also, we can say that mechanical energy gave the bowling ball the ability to do work on the pins that caused their displacementThere are a number of organizations and groups that are dedicated to helping protect the Amazon rainforest and raising awareness about the issue of deforestation.? The World Wildlife Fund is working to create partnerships with local governments and groups to help secure land rights, enforce best management practices, and ensure infrastructure development has as little lasting ecological impact as possible.? National Geographic Magazine has featured the Amazon a number of times, including the article cited below that helps people outside the situation become aware and do what they can to help protect it.
