Does herobrain exists in minecraft

 Is Herobrine real???


There are going to be two types of people on the opposite end of this article. Either curious or confident whether hero brine does actually exist in Minecraft.




This question is flowing around for quite a while now. Although I am quite late to this party still there are many unsure as to if Herobrine is real. The answer to this question is not that straight forward. Claiming yes or no is not enough for this question. Let's dive a little bit deeper into it. 


So, let's begin by stating exactly what Herobrine is? 


Story of Herobrine is a Minecraft urban legend. A myth, a rumour that took a pick back in 2010 the first word of Herobrine in a public internet post that was made by one of Minecraft's very own players. According to the player, a shrouded figure was seen standing in the fog. The figure took the appearance of Minecraft's default skin with blank white eyes. Well, it sounds creepy. Shortly after locking eye contact with the player, the figure ran off into the fog never to be seen again. The post made by the player was deleted in five minutes followed by a private message containing the word 'stop' from a user named 'Herobrine'. The link to Herobrine's user page was dead. There was no clue found about this suspicious account. 



The post was very well written. There are a number of things to be identified in this post, which was made by the player. This began to grab some attention so much in fact it even reached the developers. So as a result at the end of the list of details from each of the following game updates the developers stated 'removed herobrine' and this is where the story of this mysterious character really begins to spread. Now the business practice of removal of something that was never meant to be included is a kind of marketing tactic. This topic produced a fantastic tiny side narrative for the game's community to delve into. Many newcomers to this developing drama saw this as an opportunity to share their apparent experience. 




 But when a rumour is spread to enough ears, someone would eventually dive dip deeper until the answer is found. The story of herobrine continued until another mail was received claiming the username belonged to a Swedish gamer and brother of 'Notch' founder of Minecraft. This was the time when the story was forcefully cut off. The speculation was put to rest when 'Notch' himself made a public statement of not having a brother. It doesn't stop here many experienced coders have scanned through every file of the game none of which hint the possibility of herobrine. This sheer success of herobrine widespread is no lie but today many years later, most now know the truth.

overpopulation of India


 Never before in history, there have been so many people on earth as right now. Our numbers have skyrocketed since the past few decades. As a result of which there is an introduction of an issue called overpopulation in many regions. One of those regions is India. The second most populous country in the world after China and it is projected to have the world largest populous country. Every corner of India has a display of increasing population. The consequence of overpopulation is known to everyone. Mass-migration, overcrowded slums, megacities converting huge regions, disease, pollution, chaos and violence over energy, food and water are few of the examples. Well, the laws or policy regarding population control has been enforced and then repealed in various states of India. Today, we live in fear of contracting COVID-19. There is no mass outrage, but still, tens of thousands of people are allowed to die due to their relative's poor socioeconomic conditions.


Whenever we hear about population control, the first thing that strikes our mind is the one-child policy of China. But very often many undesirable consequences stem from such policies like the practice of 'bride price' wherein the families of females were bribed and offered money, 4-2-1 i.e Due to the one-child policy, there are 4 grandparents, two parents which would have one kid. Although the problem of overpopulation for India appears staggering, there is still reason to be optimistic. Development in education, health care, as well as economic development has led to an improvement in the quality of life, in the past few years. There is a direct relation between fertility rate(number of average children produced by a woman) and literacy rate(shows the level of literacy in the population). The states with a low fertility rate have one of the highest fertility rates visa versa. Similar is the case with the other 2 factors. The conclusion we can draw is the population automatically gets controlled when there is economical development and the education and health care facilities are improved.

Trump loved COVID?!?!

 So, a recent clip from Olivia Troye who is a former high-level 'Mike Pence' staffer which talks about Donald Trump and how she can't support him. There are a bunch of interesting things in this video about how Trump lacks the necessary skills to be a president and doesn't listen to the good advice given to him. The following video also reveals the remark made by Trump that 'COVID is better as he didn't have to show hands with those disgusting people.' Here disgusting people means people who show up to their rallies, here the disgusting people are loyal and dedicated Trump supporters who he claims to care most about. Now, he is no stranger to the crowds and neither to shaking hands. He has done it, but only among the rich and well-connected. This is like an insult of all the people who are in his support. It goes back to what he said about the military.


It also goes to what Trump has said before which is that 'he is not worried about the COVID because he can spread out from the rabble,' you see with Trump that he understands that he's understood from the very beginning about the virus. Tapes of Trump's conversation are released wherein it's clear that he knew it way back in early February about how bad this COVID thing was but he continued to downplay it to the people so as to not create a panic. Seriously, his so-called good intention for not creating panic is responsible for this havoc. Meanwhile, Trump heard the recording and had a usual reaction like "I never met that guy I don't know who is he." Despite Trump saying as recently as last month that kids are almost immune to the virus, it turns out he knew that wasn't the truth and still fought for schools to reopen.

About J K Rowling.....

 


In this article, we will be talking about JK Rowling and why she is not the best. Now you may already know that a lot of people already know that because it is talked a lot of times already. Everybody including their mothers has talked about her newest scandals coming out in the news. Alright, firstly I have never been into the fantasy media i.e the lord of rings, the game of thrones or the witcher not judging anybody but I just never found them entertaining with the exception of Harry Potter. It was one of my favourites, especially in my childhoods. Every time I read I always noticed one glaring feature on the cover of every single book, JK Rowling's name. I never really knew who she was until I was a little old. But it will never seem to blow my mind how somebody who wrote a series of seven incredible books can't seem to realise that her fans are not as dumb as she thinks.



It all started with a revolutionary and progressive decision to declare Prof Dumbledore one of the main characters from her books as GAY after already finishing the book and not even hinting the sexuality once in 10 years. Now, it was 2007 this was all before the legalisation of gay marriage before so many civil rights measurements were taken for gay rights. So she wanted to avoid any negative backlash from homophobic groups and thus decided to chicken out to claim innocence. Her weak and bad intentioned attempt to retroactively declare one of the important character gay wreaked off somebody looking to reap the rewards of being inclusive without actually having to do any sacrifice, It's a manipulation tactic a way for her to lie to her fans about her values. She just took her crystal clear image and completely tanked it. She just desperately wants to be seen as progressive and her recent tweet where she was called a TURF proofs that.

FAUG instead of PUBG


 Recently 118 Chinese applications were banned by the government of India including a game which was quite popular among Indian teenagers, PUBG mobile. While the mobile gamers were brooding over the government there was an unexpected announcement of an Indian app/game called 'Fearless And United Guards i.e FAUG which sounds kinda similar to PUBG. The game has been developed by nCore Games under the mentorship of popular Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar. Anyways we won't go into many technical details. Now, the announcement was just made 2 days after the banning of the apps, pretty opportunistic move but the developers were like "it was just a coincident" and also there is gossip among the people that this is kind of a battle royale game or moreover an alternative to Pubg mobile. Meaning of faug( actual word is 'fogi') in the Hindi language means soldiers or a military personal.


According to the developers, the idea behind FAUG is to give gamers an experience about the actual feelings of real soldiers. Let's come to the poster of this game as you can see there is something fishy about the poster. The news of the poster being fake is already viral on social platforms. That sucks. A rival of PUBG and has no original poster. The poster also reflects the graphic quality of the game. Well, I am not being judgemental here but this thing has spoiled the first impression of the game. This has lead to disappointment among gamers. The best thing about the game is its Indian origin. As you guys would probably know that no AAA quality games were made in India. An AAA quality game means a lot of investment and a lot of risks. So FAUG is like a ray of hope to the Indian game development.

Trump denies calling dead U.S troops losers and suckers



 Donald Trump thinks that if you serve your nation you are a 'loser' or 'sucker'. That's according to the news article in the Atlantic. It references multiple remarks Trump made about veterans that served in places like France. According to the article, these were the words said by the President in the conversation with the senior staff members. Trump was supposed to visit so as to honour the people. But the president decided to cancel the visit at last-minute saying that the helicopter couldn't fly due to bad weather conditions and the secret service wouldn't allow to drive him to the place. There is a lot of controversies regarding this issue. Family members of the fallen soldiers reacted on social media. Moreover back in 2015 his statement on John McCain for not being a hero as he was captured and imprisoned, further aggravated the situation.



The angry president forcefully denied the allegation that was made in the Atlantic magazine that he disparaged the killed and wounded soldiers. He claimed that to be fake news and said, "I would be willing to swear on anything that I never said that about our fallen heroes. No animal nobody what animal would say such things."  He reacted to the magazine saying that it to be a terrible magazine. He told nobody respects the fallen soldiers more that he does. He also mentioned the military budgets and the pay raises in the conversation. The Atlantic was the first to report the allegations about President Trump. According to his advisers, Trump doesn't understand the idea of why so many people would sign up for military service, risking their lives for low pay. Trump had such storms before but for the first time in four years, a lot of troops had negative views against the president

What does stock split mean



A stock split basically means the conversion of one stock share into 2 or more multiple stock shares. For instance, the split is like 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 wherein the company doubles the total number of shares and thus the shareholders end up having twice the number of shares, each share with 50% less worth. We have all seen the headlines about Apple and Tesla splitting their stocks. So, Let's have a look at both of them. Apple will split its stock on 4 of 1 which means that shareholders will receive an additional 3 shares with the value of each share reduced by 75% and the total value of all 4 shares is approximately equal to one share you previously had. Similarly, Tesla will be splitting its stock 5 of 1.



Since Apple is trading nearly $500 per share the price should drop to $125 after the split and Tesla stock trades above $2000 per share after the split it will drop to about $400. Although the split changes the number of shares, the value of the investor's position remains unchanged. The next question is why do companies split their stocks? The stock splits are done to reduce the company's share price. The idea is that this decrease in price will lead to an increase in investors and make the stock more valuable. For example, you might not prefer to spend $2000 for a single Tesla share but might agree to buy a split of share at $400.Apple's stock has raised by 25% while Tesla has risen above 45%. The disadvantage of splitting is that the share price is unpredictable and changes rapidly. So the conclusion we can draw is that stock split increases the number of shares and also reduces the trading price but it does not distribute more wealth amount the shareholders.
