An international team of scien-tists has found that globalwarming of two degrees Cel-sius would trigger the release of an
estimated 230 billion tons of soilcarbon. The study revealed the sen-sitivity of soil carbon turnover to glob-al warming.
Global soils contain two tothree times more carbon thanthe atmosphere; higher temper-atures speed up decomposition,reducing the amount of time car-bon spends in the soil (known as‘soil carbon turnover’) The estimated 230 billion tons
of carbon released at twodegrees Celsius warming (abovepre-industrial levels) is morethan four times the total emis-sions from China, and more thandouble the emissions from theUS over the last 100 years, claimexperts

HOW US POLLS WORKS
There are five mainsteps to electing aprez: Primaries andCaucuses National Conventions Election Campaigning General Election Electoral CollegeForty-eight states, plus the District ofColumbia, have a winner-takes-allapproach to their electoral college
votes. This means that onthe election day, whoeverwins the popular vote byeven a single vote, wins allof the sate's electoral
votes In the US election process, vot-ers merely indicate a preference, butthe task of actually electing the presi-dent falls to these 538 individualelectors to the US electoral college. A candidate needs at least 270electoral college votes to take theWhite House
Contrary to popular belief, American voters do not actuallyelect their president. When citizens go to polls, they justvote for "electors". These electors then go on to choosethe presidential candidates...
The 2020 US election cycle, including presidential andcongressional races, came with a massive price tag of $14
billion, making it the most expensive polls in history. The fig-ure is more than the combined figures of the amount spent
during the last two election cycles. This year, the pandem-ic sparked an unmatched shift to early voting, by mail orotherwise, and rising expectations that days or weeks mightpass before the outcome is known. A record 100 millionAmericans opted for early voting in the presidential polls

Rick Riordian: What’s he up to?
The author of ‘The Percy Jack-son’ series has written 21 nov-els on mythology targeted atchildren and young adult read-ers, exploring 3 pantheons,
with some novellas in between. He has alarge fan base, that has only grown withevery generation of readers. Just thismonth he released his last book in his ‘Tri-als of Apollo’ series and fans are itchingto know what he’s writing next.
As all his books are set in the sameworld, he often references them back andforth and he always leaves hintsduring the close of a seriesabout the next one.
MODUS OPERANDIAt the end of the ‘Per-cy Jackson’ series, anew prophecy wasgiven which was com-pleted in the nextGreek series – The‘Hero’s of Olympus’. Inthe last of the Egyptian se-ries, the main characters en-counter characters who appear in thefirst ‘Hero’s of Olympus’ book. While inan equivalent of Greek Hell, a characterAnnabeth says she has a family membershe needs to catch up with and heturns out to be the main char-acter of Riordans Norse series– ‘Magnus’. The ‘Trials ofApollo’ series was hinted atby Ella when she said, “Thefall of the sun;the final verse.”
WHAT LIES AHEADNow at the end of ‘The Tower of Nero’,there was another prophecy issued but it’swords were not revealed, though as it wasissued when Will said the word,‘Prophesy’, we can guess it involves himand Nico, who was itching to go back toTartarus, with a rescue mission in mind.
Earlier, Riordan mentioned that hewas studying mythology in the universi-ty in Dublin and planned to write a bookon Irish mythology.

We all sometimes fall in problems,And get shocking news that overwhelmsWe fall in situations with no solutions,When we try to come to a conclusion,We are restricted by our confusion!When problems slap me from all the sides,And I drown into melancholy tides,My parents give suggestions that guides,And talk about different rules we all have to abideLike after every gloomy night,Unfurls a heavenly day,From the clouds pops up the sun,After the night dark and grey,The sun dances all over the plain, In a funny way,Oh lord! This beautiful scenery,Drives all my sadness away!

The life is too different now,Where to go is unknown, Where to be safe is unknown, Where to find our loved once again, Is unknown. In the innermost corner of every heart there is onlyone hope, From you, my lord!The lives of the people are in dark,No one can talk with each other,Now there's only one way, To maintain distance.Every place we go,We have to follow rules, Everywhere we go social distant is must, The emotion that surrounds is dark.Staying alone is must,Keeping a bottle of sanitizer is necessary, Visiting pandals is not allowed, The people cannot talk with each other, In fear not to danger their own life,The emotions that surrounds us is dark,We are alone, Sadness is covering us,Not letting us to move away.But still there is only one hope, From you!God, cover us from this situation, Shows us the right path, Shows us light,Show us a place where our life's is safe,Where there is hope of joy,Where there is no fear,Where the people can live freely,Without any doubt in innermost depth.You can save us, Destroy the bad,Just like you did with those inhuman monsters,We need you, To bring a better future.My lord !

DEAR LORD!
For the last few weeks, my weekends have been mostly aboutgetting physically fit. I wake up at 6 am and drink a glass ofwater on an empty stomach. Soon after, I have some hot milkwith turmeric following which I wear a mask and go cycling. Aftercycling, I come home to do some warm-up exercises and eye exercise.Post breakfast, I attend online classes. After eating my favourite
tomato rice for lunch, I sit down to complete my article onDinosaurs by adding few facts each time. At 4 pm, I go
for cycling and play with my sister. After playing, Ihelp my mother in making dinner. As a regular prac-tice, we do some fun dance and sleep.
On Sundays, I try to learn newdrawing techniques and finish one ortwo lessons in my online coding class.

The students of class VIIof Pallavi Internation-al School, Gandipettook part in a class
presentation on Space and Tech-nology as part of the online ac-tivity under the guidance oftheir science teachers.
India is currently makingstrides towards space researchand the same was impressivelydepicted by the students throughtheir presentations.
While the CBSE Board pro-motes novel ideas in teachingmethods, the school has initi-ated to put it into action. Theideas that students putinto this show dazzledeveryone. They present-ed one-minute speeches,displayed paintings madeon the theme and alsoshowcased creative mod-
els on famous spaceships. Theprogramme was a result of theforesight of academic directorT Sudha and principal MeetaliArchit.
"It's human nature tostretch, to go, to see, to under-stand. Exploration is not achoice really; it is an impera-tive". The IT department of the
school organised a virtualfield trip to NASA Space
Center, Florida,United Stateswhich was an
amazing experiencefor children. The
field tripcovered
Control
Center (spaceport), LaunchComplex 39, the location of ve-hicle assembly building andvideos about satellite launching.
An engaging quiz was con-ducted for the students fromclass III to IX and hands on ac-tivity modules of rocket making and changing pressureand magical soda cans were as-
signed to the students.There's no denying the fact
that we live in a time where tech-nology has become less artifi-cial and more intelligent.Whether we talk about AI or theapplications of its subsets inparticular (machine learningand deep learning), the scope isfar beyond what humans could
have or can imagine.From asking Alexa to order
our pizza to unlocking ourphone through facial recogni-tion, we all have explored AI ap-plications in our daily life. Giv-en that, would it be strange toknow that AI applications havesurpassed our regular lives andare now taking over space (In-dian moon mission - Chan-drayaan-2, for instance)
Space exploration is a vasttopic and human intelligenceneeds something to complementit to be able to comprehend theintricacies of space. There can-not be a better model than AI todo that. Presentation of AI wasdone by IT teachers and futureprojects were demonstrated. Theschool has decided to leave nostone unturned to make its stu-dents tech and space smart.
The Diamond Ju-bilee High School,H y d e r a b a d(DJHSH) under the

On this occasion, the stu-dents of classes III and IVparticipated in activitiesaround the theme 'Girls CanDo Wonders and They AreaBlessing'. They created flow-ers, carved vegetables, and
participated in gender-neu-tral household chores. Thestudents of class V prepareda collage around the theme'Keeping a Girl's Hopes Alive'by covering numerous na-tional and international leg-islations. The parents alsoparticipated in the events.The parents of the studentsof class VI shared their
thoughts on the topic 'Daugh-ters are a Blessing' whereasfor the students of class VII,they shared photos aroundthe theme 'Quality Educa-tion for Girls'. Notwith-standing this, the highschool students wrote an es-say and prepared creativepresentations on the maintheme. This was followed byan oath, to affirm their alle-giance to the empowermentof girls andwomen in soci-ety. Not to beleft behind, thestudents fromprimary andpre-primarywings alsoparticipatedby writingcreativeslogansa n dcreat -ing il-
lustrations around thetheme of the day.
The students unleashedtheir creativity for a cause,where they urged theirminds to 'see' and not mere-ly 'look', at the deep layers ofdiscrimination and injusticewhich has percolated and re-mained embedded in our pa-triarchal society againstgirls. In these times, theschool strives to promote anempowering approachamong all its stakeholders,to nurture the inherent po-tential in girls, as a step to-wards creating a progressivesociety. Head girl Tanishaechoed this sentiment say-ing, "Girls are unique. Theydeserve an education to worktowards their goals."
