In the previous tutorials, we talked about the inverting op-amp and non-inverting op-amp, we considered configurations that take a single input on either pin “-” or “+” of the operational amplifier, while the other pin is grounded.
However, it is possible, as we will see during this article, to supply both inputs of an op-amp with signals in order to obtain an output that is directly proportional to the input difference. This new configuration is commonly known as a differential amplifier.
We introduce this new configuration in the first section where we present its functioning and demonstrate its output expression.
A simple example of a differential amplifier along with some basic differential-based applications is presented in the second section.
Finally, the last section briefly presents the instrumentation amplifiers which are essential differential-based configurations found in acquisition chains to treat sensor outputs.
The goal of this section is to introduce the reader to the differential amplifier configuration and to demonstrate its output expression.
In Figure 1, we present the circuit representation of the basic differential amplifier. The inputs are labeled V1 and V2 and are in connection with the op-amp inverting and non-inverting pins through the resistors R1 and R2. The output is labeled Vout and the resistors Rf and Rg stand respectively for “feedback” and “ground”.
In the following, we will suppose the op-amp to be ideal, which is a very good approximation of modern real amplifiers. As a consequence, we have no currents entering through the pins – and + of the op-amp, moreover, the equality V+=V– between the potentials at the same pins is satisfied.
The voltage V+ is determined by the voltage divider formula linking R2 and Rg:
The voltage V– can be written thanks to Millman’s theorem which stipulates that the potential at a node can be written as the sum of the currents entering the node and divided by the sum of the admittances in each branch:
Since we suppose V+=V–, both previous equations are also equal. After rearranging this equality, we finally obtain the output expression for a differential amplifier in the general case, which is a superposition of both inputs V1 and V2:
The configuration R1≠R2≠Rf≠Rg is however never used in real circuits. What we should aim for when designing a differential amplifier is to get an output of the form Vout=A(V2-V1), with A being a common factor.
In the following paragraphs, we show under which condition (that we call differential condition) this common factor can be written.
In order to get a common factor for V1 and V2, the following equality must be satisfied:
After some basic simplification steps, the differential condition can finally be written Rf/R1=Rg/R2. In this case, we obtain indeed Vout=A(V2-V1) with A=Rf/R1.
We can even simplify the circuit by choosing R1=R2 and Rf=Rg (which still satisfies the differential condition and with again A=Rf/R1):
If we add the conditions R1=Rf and R2=Rg, not only we satisfy the condition to write the output under the form Vout=A(V2-V1) but also we get A=1.
In this case, we cannot talk of the circuit as a differential amplifier since the difference V2-V1 is not amplified, we instead label the configuration as a subtractor with Vout being directly equal to the input difference.
Differential amplifier examples
As stated in the introduction, differential amplifier op-amps can be very useful to process the output signal of a sensor. We first present some very simple sensors that are resistors which resistance value depends on an external physical parameter.
In the second part, we need to present what is a Wheatstone bridge before focusing on the third part which deals with the integration of these sensors in a differential amplifier circuit to understand how the signal is processed.
In the following, we present the basics of resistors which resistance values depend on the light intensity (photoresistor) or on the temperature (thermistor).
A good modelization for both photoresistor and thermistor resistance values is to consider an exponential decrease with an increase of the light intensity or temperature:
A Wheatstone bridge is a measuring circuit composed of 4 resistors interconnected in a loop configuration such as shown in Figure 5. One of the resistors has an unknown value (Rx), one is a variable resistor (Rv), and two have known and fixed values (R1 and R2).
We won’t explain here the details about the measuring procedure of a Wheatstone bridge but we will assume that when no current is detected by the galvanometer (or amp meter) across the nodes R1-Rv and R2-Rx after adjusting the value of Rv, the resistance Rx is given by Equation 1.
This condition is also known as the balancing condition of the Wheatstone bridge.
In the following Figure 6, we present a light-detection circuit based on a differential amplifier configuration, including a Wheatstone bridge with resistors R1, R2, the photosensitive resistor RPh which plays the role of the unknown resistor, and a light-adjusting resistor RA which plays the role of variable resistor. The feedback resistor RH adjusts the hysteresis.
Note that a temperature-detection circuit consists only of replacing the photoresistor by a thermistor.
The goal of the resistance RA is used to set the “reference” light-level, indeed, when a certain level of light changes the value of RPh, we can adjust RA in order to balance the Wheatstone bridge and get a zero differential input V2-V1, and therefore no output signal as well.
When the light intensity changes, the circuit becomes unbalanced and a voltage difference V2-V1 appears. Even with a small luminosity change, the op-amp will amplify the differential signal in order to correctly detect it and eventually process it in the next stages of the circuit.
One possible way to process the signal is by connecting a LED to the output of the op-amp. The LED is only ON when the output voltage is above a certain value, it stays OFF otherwise. For the configuration presented in Figure 6, the LED would turn ON in the absence of light making it a “darkness detector”. To get the opposite effect and build a “light detector”, we simply need to exchange the positions of RPh and RA.
One of the limitations of differentials amplifiers when it comes to process sensors outputs is its relatively low input impedance. Indeed, the input impedance of the general configuration presented in Figure 1 is equal to R1+R2, which is much lower than the input impedance of a common non-inverting op-amp.
In practice, for this reason, differential amplifiers are never used alone for processing sensor outputs as their low input impedance can bias what the source (sensor in our case) provides (see the tutorial op-amp building blocks for more information).
The solution to increasing the input impedance is to connect voltage followers before the inverting and non-inverting inputs of the differential amplifier. This configuration, known as an instrumentation amplifier, is presented in Figure 7 below:
The voltage drop across the resistor R1, which is the input of the differential amplifier, is equal to V2-V1, except that this time, the sources of the signals V1 and V2 sees a very high input impedance thanks to both buffers.
The primary goal of a differential amplifier is to amplify a voltage difference, that corresponds to the difference between the two input signals applied at its inverting and non-inverting inputs.
We have seen that in the general case (with arbitrary resistors), the op-amp doesn’t really amplify the difference since a difference factor is found for V1 and V2. It is actually more interesting to equalize the input resistances and the feedback and ground resistances (which we called the differential condition) in order to get an output of the form Vout=A(V2-V1).
In the second section, we dealt with a light/temperature detector circuit based on a differential amplifier. First, we briefly presented how a photoresistor/thermistor and Wheatstone bridge worked. The circuit shown in Figure 6 merges these different circuits and elements in order to create a simple light/temperature sensor.
However, the low input impedance that this circuit presents is its bigger disadvantage. In order to solve this problem, buffers are usually placed as an input to the differential amplifier as we present in the last section about instrumentation amplifiers.

“I have been in this industry for multiple years,” she said, “and the wedding day has always been the bride’s day. And it has traditionally been all of the women from both families who participate in the planning process, and really the groom is arm candy on the day of the wedding. If the groom has traditionally had a say in the process, it has only been about the tuxedo styles.”Another way of approaching this general idea shows up in a Huffington Post piece currently making the rounds in my Facebook feed. In the guise of arguing "let's ban weddings and, while we're at it, baby showers, too," Valerie Alexander reserves her strongest criticism not for the wedding industry that pushes people to spend too much, but for women. Or, as she very intentionally puts it, "girls."
I swear, weddings are the leading cause of divorce. If some girl wasn't fulfilling her childhood fantasy of being a princess, holding court in the perfect gown with the perfect hair and perfect flowers, on a day dedicated solely to celebrating her ability to land a man, how much more effort would she put into finding the right mate, since the reward for doing so would be a lifetime together, rather than a coronation? [...]Ouch, right? And unfair to the point of borderline misogyny, as we'll discuss below the fold.
Celebrations are a huge, important part of life, but the worst mistake a girl can make is to enter into a lifetime commitment just to get a party. The husband and the baby are around long after all the guests go home, so you'd better be ready for that part of it. Here's a tip: if you're demanding an engagement ring for Christmas, chances are you aren't ready to be married (and he certainly isn't).
As much as the wedding industry tells us, ad nauseam, that indeed the perfect gown and perfect hair and perfect flowers are "every girl's dream," it's been my experience in recent years that men as much as women are invested in their weddings and are pushing for big weddings. That idea has no place in the culture, so you won't hear much about it. And it's certainly the case that the entire wedding industry conspires to keep men out of the process (see the first quote in this piece, for a reminder).
But if you think men aren't interested in the whole process, consider another big recent wedding trend: the big deal proposal. We're talking flash mob proposal after flash mob proposal, not to mention all the other forms of public proposal or YouTubed, wannabe viral (or actually viral) proposal that have been such a big thing in over the last few years. Shoot, proposal planning consultants are now a thing. The fact that the proposal, the part of the official wedding process that men have the most control over, is becoming a bigger and bigger event sure suggests that men are not the eye-rolling, detached, "whatever she wants" passengers of lore.
Consider also that, as of a few years ago, teenage boys had more positive views of marriage than teenage girls, and, while boys had long wanted to marry later than girls, that gap was closing rapidly as girls gained educational and occupational opportunities. So to the extent that girls/women do want to get married early, data suggests it's correlated with not feeling like they have better choices—even as they're overall less enthusiastic about marriage than boys. (Reasonably enough, since a host of other data shows that marriage is good for men and less so for women.)
In this context, isn't it a little hasty to pin all the blame for pressure to put a ring on it and over-the-top weddings on women? In fact, there's plenty of anecdotal evidence that men often push the women they're marrying toward more neotraditional weddings. A Practical Wedding's Rachel Wilkerson writes:
I had told him before we were engaged that I didn’t have any interest in a traditional wedding, nor did I have the funds to pay for said traditional wedding, so I just wanted to go to city hall with close family and friends. He said that he was totally on board with that, but…well, there was always some kind of a “but” during these conversations. He told me repeatedly that he didn’t care about the details of our wedding, that I was free to do whatever I wanted…and yet, time and again, I’d casually mention my thoughts on something (usually something practical in favor of something WIC-sanctioned) and he’d make the face, somehow managing to look both devastated and disgusted at the same time. But when I’d ask him to tell me what was on his mind, he couldn’t tell me what he wanted or why he wanted it…he wouldn’t even admit to having an opinion.I've heard any number of stories along those lines, online and in person. I've lived a couple of them. In a culture where men are written almost entirely out of the dominant narrative on weddings, presumed not to care a bit but just indulge their crazed brides, it sure looks like, from teen years to proposal to wedding, they actually do care. Pretending men don't care and aren't involved in wedding pressures and plans is definitely unfair to women, who face a massive amount of nastiness and stereotyping of the "girls enter into a lifetime commitment just to get a party" kind Valerie Alexander engages in. Weddings as they are commonly practiced in the United States today are involved, detail-filled, expensive affairs, and that is work. It's work that lands on women, who are then blamed for excess and frustration as they try to execute things that are, often as not, desired as much or more by others as by themselves (not just grooms—friends and family can and do act as enforcers of neo-traditional wedding culture). But beyond that, if men care, it's unfair to erase them from the story and lock them out of substantive participation in their own weddings.
So let's stop letting men be written out of wedding stories. For their sake, for women's sake, and for the sake of tempering the ridiculously gendered stories we tell about getting married.

Speed demons, beware.
The next time you go barreling along Interstate 95, you could be in for an unpleasant surprise as George Alves of Miami Springs found out on Tuesday.
Alves was cruising at 82 mph in his Chevy Blazer in Delray Beach when he was greeted by the siren and blue lights of a Florida Highway Patrol squad car.
"This is the first time I've been pulled over, and I've been driving since I was 15," Alves, 28, told Trooper Sevine Williams. "I went to pass a car and that's when I punched it [the accelerator). But you got me. I won't argue it."
Trooper Williams is on the Highway Patrol's newly formed Community Oriented Policing unit, a full-time squad of seven troopers that has been bombarding I-95 with laser beams since June 13.
On Tuesday morning, they nailed 21 motorists in 50 minutes in Delray Beach, and last Saturday, they cited 71 lead-footed drivers in two hours. And they will be out there every day in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
"We need to have a war on speeders because they contribute to accidents," Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Pembrook Burrows said. "The faster they go, the more serious the accidents."
Six troopers in marked cruisers, and a seventh armed with a laser gun, peaking from behind a plain, unmarked decoy car, say they are serious about slowing down fast drivers and reducing road casualties.
The speed-enforcement blitzes along the interstate concentrate on catching motorists driving at 75 mph or more. The unit will also hold educational sessions for civic groups, corporations and other organizations on traffic safety.
Highway crashes in Palm Beach and Broward counties caused 419 deaths in 1995, two fewer than the previous year. Already this year, 107 people have died in motor vehicle accidents in Palm Beach County and 97 in Broward.
The key, the troopers say, to the crackdown's effectiveness is visibility. "But there is no one area that we can target," Burrows said. "We can slow them down by being visible on 95 and through education. And we're hoping that if we slow them down on 95, they will also slow down on the secondary roads."
Still, hammering speeders with tickets is not a deterrent to some, several troopers say.
"They [motorists) don't care about you ticketing them," said Trooper Addison Turnquist, who operated the laser gun on Tuesday. "All they care about is about getting from point A to point B."
Manuel Ramirez, 20, of Boca Raton was clocked at 95 mph.
Ramirez's license had been suspended. When he finally pulled over a half-mile later, they found he was also wanted for violation of probation.
Ramirez was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail.
Authorities said they are aiming at the fastest drivers for two reasons. First, a decrease in speed sharply reduces the chance of death if there is an accident. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, if you're traveling at 67 mph in a 55 mph zone, your risk of dying in a collision is increased by 90 percent.
A less-obvious problem is that if some cars are moving very fast, then the variation of speed among cars on the road is greater, said Capt. Ken Howes, the agency's chief spokesman in Tallahassee. And with some cars moving more than 70 mph while others are in the upper 50s, the number of crashes rises, he said.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speed - either too fast for conditions or above the posted limit - was a factor in 21.3 percent of the fatal traffic crashes nationally in 1992.
Half the fatalities occurred on roads with posted speed limits of 55 mph or greater.

AUSTIN, Texas — It was expected on the final day, an unavoidable formality for an error that would not be forgotten.
Interim Texas Secretary of State David Whitley submitted his resignation letter Monday afternoon to Gov. Greg Abbott after the Texas Senate refused to confirm his nomination.
The inaction comes after Whitley oversaw a review of voter rolls earlier this year that mistakenly flagged 95,000 Texas voters as potential non-citizens.
The flawed investigation led to three lawsuits and the state so far has paid more than $450,000 in plaintiff's attorneys fees.
A nominee cannot serve without a super-majority of the Senate voting to approve.
Abbott can now appoint another interim replacement to serve until the legislature convenes in 2021.
In his resignation letter, first reported by the Austin-American Statesmen, Whitley thanked Abbott for the opportunity.
"I built a bridge for opposing voices to engage in dialogue to improve election integrity and access," Whitley said.

Let us be crystal clear: The drug menace must stop. Goodness, we hate drugs, too. There should be no two minds about it.
Yet the apparent serial summary executions of alleged street drug users or petty drug lords, which appear sudden, too contrived and predictable, must also stop.
The two are not incompatible. And each of them may be a long, hard, challenging and frustrating undertaking, but you can stop one without automatically or instantly doing the other as a practice or policy.
The madness must stop. Quick-fix savagery and abuse of power by law enforcers, supposedly to quell criminality and illegal drugs—which, wittingly or unwittingly, directly or indirectly, are encouraged, condoned or sanctioned—is a Frankenstein that will haunt us all over time. The cure may turn out to be worse than the illness.
Human rights are not only for the criminals or dregs of society as some may think or believe. It is more to protect the far too many others who are innocent or turn out to be innocent. Enough already.

Hi! I'm Khadeja Ali of khadejaalidraw.com and @khadejalidraw on twitter. I love drawing abstract and fantasy-ish works in pen, pencil, marker; anything I can get my hands on. I'm desperately trying to make my way as an artist because I can't imagine myself doing anything else for life, really! I have an Etsy store up and running now! https://www.etsy.com/shop/InsideOutreArt
Welcome to my Ko-fi Page. If you enjoy my content, please consider supporting what I do. Thank you.


The Toxic and Concerned Chemical Substances Control Act (hereinafter referred to as the Act) amended on 16 January 2019 added concerned chemical substances as a new category of substances to be regulated. Accordingly, the Principles for Screening and Classifying Toxic Chemical Substances have been revised and renamed as the Principles for Screening and Classifying Toxic and Concerned Chemical Substances (Hereinafter the Principles).
The purpose of the revision was to expand the source control of chemical substances. Conforming to the definition of Class 4 toxic chemical substances, the Principles add concerned chemical substances as a new category, expand the data sources of chemical substance lists and stipulate relevant classification principles. In addition, the Principles stipulate that a chemical substance reaching a certain risk level based on the hazard classification in CNS 15030 can be classified as a hazardous concerned chemical substance.
The EPA stresses that the process of screening, classifying, and announcing a toxic and concerned chemical substance to regulate can be very time-consuming. It involves consulting experts and scholars, industry competent authorities and stakeholders while taking the substance’s characteristics and its international and domestic control status into account. Hence, to increase control efficiency, stipulations have been added to the Principles that allow the assessment procedure to be simplified when the control status of the substance is clear both internationally and domestically or when different industries have reached a consensus on the classification of the substance.
The screening and classifying procedures for toxic and concerned substances are as follows:
1. Establishing a list of data sources for chemical substances by referring to domestic and international regulations and scientific articles.
2. Creating a watch list of chemical substances based on chemical and physical characteristics, toxicity, environmental impacts and consumption issues.
3. Listing substances as prospective toxic and concerned substances based on the classification principles of each category, consultation meetings with experts and scholars, and opinions of industry competent authorities, relevant industry associations, or stakeholders.
4. Recommending a list of substances to be regulated after evaluating the current handling and regulating plans for prospective substances.

The Great Forest Park Balloon Race is an annual event my family and I love attending. We arrive early and spend the whole day hanging out, enjoying the festivities and waiting for the balloon launch.
This is a page of my girls playing in the sand during our vacation to Fort Myers Beach Florida a few years ago.
I used Shimelle True Stories 12 x 12 paper pad from American Crafts for the polka dot papers. The two flags were also from a page of the pad filled with phrase that I cut apart.
The pink flag on the top picture says “feeling inspired” and the teal flag on the bottom picture says “here’s my interpretation”
The stickers came from Dollar Tree.
I spelled sandcastle as two words on the title so I added the pink & sticker and I really like how it turned out.
I wanted to give the paper more of a sandy feel so I sprayed it with some Heidi Swapp Color Shine Bronzer.
I touched the bronzer on the bottom of the page before it was dry and ended up smearing it so I added the seashell stickers across the bottom to hide the mistake.
I also stamped a rope stamp around the edge of the paper to add to the nautical theme.
The inspiration for these Halloween cards came from a CAS(E) this Sketch post. http://casethissketch.blogspot.com/2015/09/case-this-sketch-140.html
As soon as I saw the sketch I thought about the washi tape I had just purchased from Dollar Tree. I missed the deadline to submit these cards, but I still enjoyed making them.

This bright green card is for another one of my nieces who also has a birthday in September. Can you guess what her favorite color is?
This is another Pinterest inspired card. I searched green birthday card and one similar to this came up. I love the tone on tone with the bright white for the sentiment. At first I stamped the sentiment straight onto the white center piece, but the card seemed too flat so I stamped it again on another white piece of paper using a slightly darker ink and then cut out the sentiment ribbon image. I attached sentiment image to the card with foam adhesive to give the card more dimension. This clean and simple card was quick and easy to make.
Materials and tools:
Green card stock in two shades
white card stock
jillibean soup “Birthday” clear stamp set

September is a busy birthday month for my family and that means I get to make lots of birthday cards! I love making a card or gift with a specific person in mind because it helps me focus on that person. Thinking about who they are and the things they like helps me choose what to use as I look through my supplies.
I made this Ooh la la Eiffel Tower card for a niece who’s into all things Paris. I had a cream colored paper with French script on it picked out when I started the card, but didn’t end up using it. Also after I finished filming making the card I went back and outlined the Eiffel Tower and added some color with gray colored pencils for the tower and pink for the little hear in the center. For the Polaroid picture outline I could have used a rectangle and a square die cut, but I had the Fiskars “Say Cheese” clear stamp set handy so that’s what I used.

I was looking on Pinterest for retirement cards and I saw a beer mug card that inspired me to make this “Let’s Celebrate” beer mug card for my father-in-law who will be retiring this month.
I originally made this card, but I smudged it in the top left corner,
so I made this one to replace it and ended up liking the gray stone background so much more. Also on the second card I made the mugs, colored them and applied the glossy accents before adhering the mugs to the card. To make the beer mugs I used a ticket shaped die cut, but you can also cut a rectangle and trim the edges for the mug shape.
Below is the video of making the “Let’s Celebrate” card with the craft paper background.

When I’m crafting I often like to listen to an audio book, but lately I’ve been listening to podcasts. Podcasting has been around for awhile, but I started listening about 6 weeks ago after I saw something about The Scrap Gals podcast. I don’t remember exactly how I came to know about their podcast(it was probably pinterest), but I’m grateful for whoever shared the information and thought I ‘d also share so that it might lead someone else to listen and enjoy.
The Scrap Gals are Tracie Claiborne and Tiffany Lowder and they make me laugh out loud every time I listen. Tracie and Tiffany talk about a variety of scrapbooking and crafting topics like how to stay inspired, journaling in scrapbooking, photography, products they like or don’t like and sometimes they have a guest or focus on a particular person. I love that they are different from each other in their approach to scrapbooking and life because it reinforces that there’s more than one way to do something giving everyone the freedom to find their own way.
Another podcast I really enjoy is Elise Gets Crafty. Elise’s podcast focus more on small business, motivation and goal- setting. I love the variety of topics she covers in the area of small business and creativity and I also love her many guests and hearing their views on the different subjects. Listening to Elise really motivates me to do more with my own small business.
I hope you listen and enjoy these ladies and their podcasts as much as I do.
We recently re-painted our guest bathroom and I created these two lighthouses to hang on the wall.
I bought the picture frames at the Goodwill store for $1.00 each. They were gold, but I repainted them white and lightly sanded over the white paint. I painted the backgrounds and the lighthouses with acrylic paints and painted glossy Modge Podge over the lighthouses to give them some shine.
To make the lighthouses I looked on Pinterest to see examples of lighthouses and then drew a couple onto white poster board and cut them out. My poster board wasn’t long enough to do the whole lighthouse so I drew and cut out the tops separately. After painting the lighthouses I attached them to the background pieces with double sided tape and couple of layers of foam adhesive up the middle of the lighthouse so they would stick out slightly and give them a rounded appearance. I also stamped a couple of seagulls in the top corner of the red lighthouse picture.
The inspiration for the “Cake Time” card came from making the video for the DIY version of the StampeRor. I love how the image came together with stamps I used in the video and I wanted use them again to make this card. I thought about using die cut letters to spell out CAKE TIME so the words stand out a little more, but ended up using glossy accents over the letters instead. I also put glossy accents on the white frosting bits and the candle flames.

I love nature but I live on the Internet. When not tending to my two daughters, my wife, my house and of course my business, at least I live on a few acres of land (so I do occasionally get the chance to enjoy nature).
And if you don't find me here, look for me in the High Peaks of the Adirondacks, or sin a kayak or canoe somewhere.
I run several of my own websites, as well as various levels of involvement in my client websites, so tracking me down on the Internet is not all that easy. But here are a few ideas...

Everything ends? Or everything begins? Two questions that will haunt me in the next chapter of my life that follows. Will I ever reach that phase where everything will be forgotten, will I ever reach the top of the spiritual mountain, a mountain with one person climbing it. Yes you have guessed it right, myself. For the past 3 years and so, I was climbing the mountain called life which for me is tightly intertwined with another mountain called love. Or maybe love can be defined as a volcano. A volcano that never stops with its eruptions. That volcano is finally gone. I can’t be burned once again. I can’t, because I know that that fire will never be there again. My heart will never love anyone as it loved her. Anna Elizabeth. The two names I instantly felt in love with. From the moment she introduced herself. I liked those names and I know that they will mean everything to me. I knew that from the very first days I was in love with her. I was falling in love gently, rapidly, but it was unsurprising because I knew that it will happen. My heart knew that she was the one I have been waiting for, from the very first moments. From the very first moments I saw her green eyes. I trusted her, I cried for her, and I was ready to sacrifice everything for her. She was my cherry blossom, my favourite flower, she was the river that never stops, an eternal flame that can never be contained or extinguished. My heart got the confirmation that she I made the right choice, from the very first time I hugged her. It’s not easy to love, but it was easy to love her. It was easy to feel home with her, because she was my home. She instantly became my only family that I always needed.
And now there is that steep mountain. A mountain that has many narrow cliffs. Cliffs from which I am destined to fall and maybe never get up again. Endless abyss from which I can only see darkness and nothing more. And nothing else will ever matter again, because the darkness will cover me entirely. Even though I am a warrior of the light (“Paulo Coelho”). Like in the Pandoras box, there will only remain hope. And maybe not even that. It will be my box, my demise that will trap me and from which I might not escape. It will be a box inside a bigger box called life and I will be in a state of limbo. Time will seem endless and I will chained in the purgatory with only myself and maybe if I am lucky my mind. Without my heart and maybe without my sanity. I will go back to the introverted, arrogant me and I will know that this time she will not be there to see through that facade, she won’t be there to save me from myself.

NEED OF THE HOUR EPISODE 8
Goa Pradesh Youth Congress Committee Varad Mardolkar has claimed that maximum jobs were given to educated unemployed youth and major industries were set up in Goa creating jobs during Congress regime. But after BJP government came back to power in 2012 polls it tried to scrap the jobs. The BJP government promised creation of several jobs during their election campaign but failed to keep their promises.
The Congress Party will be considering more youth candidates and the other leaders who have worked with congress from the start and have similar midset to that of the party for the upcoming 2022 state assembly elections Mardolkar said during chat with Prime Media TV Editor Sandeep Kerkar in NEED OF THE HOUR Episode.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also promised creation of two crore jobs per year and during last six years it could have created 12 crore jobs. Mardolkar demanded that the BJP government should declare how many jobs were given to unemployed youth in Goa.
The Youth Congress president said that the Congress party will follow-up the issue of inflated electricity bills since the Sawant government was insensitive and don’t care for the people.

They have been transferred to specialist NHS infection centres in Liverpool and London, the Department of Health said. The virus was passed on while they were in Italy and Tenerife, said England's chief medical officer Prof Chris Whitty. Ministers have said they expect more cases to emerge. The new patients are being treated at specialist centres at the Royal Free Hospital, London, and the Royal Liverpool Hospital.
The BBC understands that the person who contracted the virus in Tenerife is from Derbyshire, and that a school in the county has closed because of the case. It is not clear which part of the UK the other person is from. They contracted the virus in northern Italy. Italy now has more than 400 cases of coronavirus with authorities there reporting that 12 people have died. And in Tenerife, 168 Britons have been told to isolate themselves at the H10 Costa Adeje Palace hotel.
Globally, more than 80,000 people in more than 40 countries have now been infected. Covid-19, the respiratory disease caused by the virus, has killed more than 2,700 people. Most of the deaths have been in China, where the virus originated in December. The new cases in England come as the government is set to launch a public information campaign, which will focus on hygiene and how to prevent the spread of infection. The current advice is to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or sleeve when you cough or sneeze, throw away tissues immediately after use and wash your hands frequently. It also advised to avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unclean hands and avoid close contact with people who are unwell.
