From The Editor… “A work of art is one mystery, the one extreme magic; everything else is either arithmetic or biology.” -Truman Capote According to E. O. Wilson, all knowledge from the humanities through the social sciences to the natural sciences-can be unified. Paying tribute to this great author, Consilience was launched in July 2016 with the goal of fetching science to life by not only reporting on exciting new innovations but also by probing deeply and proactively into the liaison amid science and everyday life. We continue to endeavor to improve, most recently with several new features. We have added columnists to our firm of writers who get beyond the news events to demystify myths and explore how science, medicine, ethos, antiquity and media, all influence and narrate to everyday life. Beyond our elementary sections there is a wealth of news covering many topics. Consilience is about science but it is for you. We have introduced “the students’ corner” in this issue. As always we invite your participation. SPUBS56 is becoming livelier each month, with perceptive and often highly optioned remarks helping to amplify the true sense and impact of everything we love. We have got more additions and improvements planned for next issue, so please let us know how you think we are doing. Vishakha Pawar, Editorial Director Consilience, WallMag SPUBS56

Krishna Vishaad Yog We’ve known the Krishna as Joy, bliss, Love, music, dance, drama, humor but rarely anybody have tried to see the wrinkles of brain behind this happiest face. Its known that even supreme power “God” have to go through all struggles, have to feel each human emotions when he take birth on earth like human.From the beginning of life Krishna lived life with pain, Separation from loved once, inadequacy & anxiety but he never give up complaining about all. Krishna’s gloom was hidden. When we glance at Krishna’s Vishaad Yog, we may sense the ache of Krishna. When Krishna left Vrindavan Bhagavatam writes Every relation is ephemeral-short lived,like wind bring close clouds,dust,grass flakes & then with one blow makes them all apart, god do this with human. In another instance of his father Vasudev’s death Krishna felt immense pain & he blamed destiny. Even it’s difficult for god to digest the grief of uprooted & withering relations. He knew that Gandhari’s mind was sorrowful after death of her 100 sons & to free her he himself create such situation that Gandhari cursed him blaming for the destruction of Kuru Vansh.

AN ACT OF CHARITY CONSILIENCE, VOL 1, NUMBER 2, SEPTEMBER 2016 Social awareness regarding blood donation: 'An Act of Charity' Blood transfusion forms a crucial & irreplaceable part in the medical management of many diseases. By increasing awareness & marketing voluntary blood donation can enhance adequacy of blood needs for entire country. Donating blood gives immense sense of satisfaction and on can be sure that there is one smile in the world, which you are responsible for. Just one pint of blood donated, can save as many as three people's lives. To endarken the life of needy ones it's our prime duty to spread maximum awareness among people to donate blood and compensate the blood deficiency facing by the hospitals & blood blank.

Blood donation is a better way to say 'Get Well Soon.” According to statistics, it has been notated only 62 countries are getting sufficient blood suppliers from the voluntary & unpaid blood donors whereas 40 countries are still dependent on for the blood donation on patient's family member or paid donors. So 'Don't wait to donate blood, it's always needed'. World Blood Donor Day is celebrated every year by the people in many countries around the world on 14th of June. It is celebrated on the day of birth anniversary of Dr. Karl Landsteiner the founder of 'ABO Blood Grouping System'. This event of celebration aims to raise the public awareness about the need for safe blood donation voluntarily & unpaid by the healthy person to ensure sufficient blood supplies. It's a simple 4 step process: ●Registration ●Medical history ●Mini physical check up ●Donation & Refreshment Eligible blood donor should fulfil below mentioned requisites: ·Age: 17years to 65 years ·Minimum weight 45kg ·Not suffering from any transmittable diseases ·Haemoglobin should not be less than 12.5gm/dl ·Donor should not have donated blood in last 12 weeks Benefits to donor: ·Reduces chances of heart attack and cancer ·Enhance production of new RBC ·Mini-blood test: Where Haematocrit (i.e. Haemoglobin level test, BP is measured, body weight is checked) 15 | P a g e

Making of blood loss takes hardly around 4 hours to replenish the volume of blood. Only 640 delicious calorie can make up 1 unit of blood. HB level is replenished within 7-10 days. There is no hazard in donating blood. ‘If u really want to lend a hand, lend an arm’: ‘A Gift of Life’. People you will help by blood donation: ·Burn victims ·Anaemic and haemophilic patients ·Patient with surgical procedures of pregnant women, trauma victims, liver and bone-marrow transplant, cancer and heart patients ·Mass disasters-like terrorist attacks or Natural Calamity One of the most powerful health care innovations in recent memory has been the dramatic increase in 24/7 access to health information enable by wireless interest access, table devices, a nd smartphones. One good example is NHS Blood and Transplant, where social media step forward to get hold on donor. Online donor registration is possible via Facebook or Twitter log-in & assures secure access to website. Donors gets reminder of their appointments via Facebook messages or app tweets & can also publicise that they are giving blood via social media platforms, spreading and amplifying 'Give Blood ' message. We live in Digital Age, where people are connected via social platforms so donors & patients should step forward in digital direction.
