Here is an amazing Asana called Akarna Dhanurasana, it comes under the intermediate level and needs more strength of your back. This Pose is totally different from the simple Dhanurasana. The word Akarna is a Sanskrit word; in which Karna means earring, ear relating to the ear, Dhanu stands for bow and the Asana represents to seat, posture or pose.

In Dhanurasana, Our body forms the shape of Bow but in The Akarna Dhanurasana, your body looks like as stretching the strings of a bow and aiming the bow.

This article is different from our other articles, now a day there is a serious problem happened in the world of internet. We are talking about lethal life talking game “Blue Whale Challenge” which destroys many teenagers life in the whole world. This is the life taking a sick game.

Friends, you have already heard about this in News paper, news or on social networking sites. Every day many teenagers lost their precious life by playing this deadly game.

Many of you don’t know about this Blue Whale Challenge, so for you, we describe this and what to do if your loved one (child) gets into this. First of all, you have to know the brief history of this Game.

What is Blue Whale Challenge?

This is an online game and this game is named so because sometimes whales beach themselves intentionally and die. An online curator or administrator assigns tasks to the participants. The victims are given a time period of 50 days to accomplish each task. The players have to take photos of them undertaking the challenge and upload them as a proof for the administrator approval.  And last challenge is to commit suicide.

Blue whale game began its journey from Russia in the year 2013 with “F57” so called group (Death group) in social networking site VK (Vkontakte is a Russian online social networking service services). A former 21- years old Psychology student Philipp Budeikin claimed that he invented this game (He was expelled from his university). He said that his motto behind this game was to “clean the Society from biological wastes” (Teenagers) by pushing them towards suicide.

He confessed his crimes to the police and told that they (victims) were happy to die and he ‘was cleansing society’. Death group targets the 12 to 20 years teens’ coz this age group of teens is a most vulnerable group of social media and these are easy targets for them.

From where children can access Blue Whale game?

Blue whale challenge game is not easy to download game, software or application. Teen can’t access it on their phone by Play store/app store or on social media platform. Death group shares the game link in secretive groups on social media. The creator seeks out the vulnerable teen group and then sends them an invitation to join. After that, they asked the question and then they provide the game link. In this Death game, players have to complete 50 levels and the last level is the level of death. Player has to report the administrator or curator regarding the progress of the game by uploading pics.

In earlier days, this Deadly game is available only for Russian on Vkontakte social platform but day by day this game is spread like a ‘fire in a jungle’ in all over the world. Due to its lethalness, most of the countries banned this sick Game.

Starting stages are easy and curator declared you winner for starting stages, from here dangerous thing happens and players are not supposed to quit the game in the middle session. If someone wants to quit the game in middle session, then administrator or curator threatened the player “if you leave the Play without completing then we have your all social information we leaked it and your family is also coming in danger.” These sentences make player sacred and they have to finish this game besides this they have no alternative ways.

The complete task list of Blue Whale Challenges is given below and translated from Russian language and posted by the user of Reddit.

In the whole World, many teens reportedly took their own life as taking part of this lethal challenge, has raised many questions. The main thing is the teen who feels loneliness, suffering from anxiety, stress or depression is the soft targets for them.

What are the signs that indicate their inclination towards Blue Whale Game?

According to child Psychologists, when a child tends to stay by himself/herself, suddenly stops interacting with family & friends, and love to stay lonely. When you normally try to talk they run away from home or if they reply you with anger along with anxiety, frustration, and stress are the most common symptoms. Change in eating or sleeping habits must need special attention.

Who is responsible for these deaths?  

According to our view, if we totally blame the developer for this, then it will not do, somewhere down the line Parents and Social networking platform is also answerable for that. These type of Psycho developer are searching their victims; it’s our responsibility to take care of loved ones.

WHAT CAN PARENTS or GUARDIANS DO?

• The first step spent more quality time with your kid this is necessary for office going Parents or Guardians. Play outdoor sports with them.

Yoga has the power to change the mental, Physical and spiritual state of any person.

What can school teachers do?

• In school premises, school authorities should ban the mobile or other gadgets.
• Teachers have to monitor each and every child behavior.
• Teachers need to keep an eye on every child falling grades and their social behavior and avoid if they are talking anti- social things with other students.
• In the computer lab, students have only access sites which are decided by the school authorities.

What should Government do?

Asthma is a general lung disorder in which burning in the bronchi which swell and narrow the airways along with creating respiration difficulties that may range from mild to life-threatening.

Sleep disturbance is common among cancer patients. Medical data states that about 50% of cancer patients suffer from insomnia, and this is due to the side effects of chemotherapy.

Thankfully, there is an activity that cancer patients can do in order to sleep better at night. A new study that was presented to the American Society of Clinical Oncology suggests that yoga can be a truly beneficial activity for cancer patients.

In the study, 227 women who were taking chemotherapy for breast cancer were divided into 3 groups. The first group did Tibetan yoga sessions, which focused on controlled breathing, meditation, and postures. The second group did simple stretching, and the last group didn’t do anything apart from receive conventional care. The yoga and stretching sessions lasted around 90 minutes, and the women were instructed to repeat what they had learned every day at home.

To ensure that the experiment was accurate, all of the test participants wore tracking devices that monitored sleep. The women were then re-tested a week after the 12-week study period, and again after 3, 6, and 12 months later.

The study concluded that cancer patients who practiced yoga at home at least twice a week reported better sleep quality compared to the other two groups.

The women who did yoga at home also enjoyed some long-term benefits from the activity. Compared to the other two groups, the women who practiced yoga said that they had fewer instances of feeling weak throughout the day. During the follow up months, the women also reported better sleep quality.

The new research is backed by a previous study, which also mentions the importance of exercises such as yoga in decreasing the side effects of cancer treatment to patients. The experiment conducted by the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, and Physics studied how men with prostate cancer would react to yoga. Fifty men participated in the study. Twenty five of the test participants did two, 75-minute yoga classes, and the other half did not do any physical activity. Before their cancer treatment started, both test groups reported relatively low levels of fatigue. However, as the treatment progressed, the men who didn’t do yoga experienced more fatigue than those who practiced it.

Cancer patients who want to try out yoga should perform the exercise several hours before bedtime. Jim White, the spokesman for the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics, said in an interview with Leesa that no exercise should be done 3 hours before bedtime. This is because the body’s temperature can stay elevated for 3-6 hours after exercise and keep people wide awake.

Although the exact reasons are still unknown, there are many theories as to why exercise help people sleep. One such theory is that exercise triggers an increase in body heat, and the post-exercise drop in the temperature may promote drowsiness. Exercise can also help reduce insomnia due to its effects on the body’s circadian rhythm, which shifts its timing depending on the time that the exercise was performed.
