  Some people are successful, and others are not. These successful people achieve that a thousand others cannot. People call them lucky. People call them born with golden spoons. But these are the people whose servo psycho cybernetics has been invoked consciously by their imaginative power and the power of will to convert their imagination into action and execution.   Imagination is the first key to a persons’ success mechanism. Human brains are a collection of billions of cells wired through millions of meters of neurons. The right questions always provide a precise answer. The answer is the path to success.    Everyone has five advisors in life. They are who, when, what, where, and how. The correct answer to these five questions gives rise to success. It is कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन । मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भुर्मा ते संगोऽस्त्वकर्मणि || It does not speak about dissociation from action and results of action. It only says that when you follow orders against your wish yo

Explosion Hazards of Explosives due to Pumps and Pumping during Manufacture of Explosives

  No explosive is safe. In the scale of measurement, one type may be safer than the other types. But hazards and explosions move side by side during manufacture, storage, transportation, and uses of explosives for rock blasting. Out of the different factors that incite fire, and explosions are the pumps and the pumping systems used for explosives. The explosives commonly used for rock blasting are emulsion, watergel, slurry, ANFO, and Heavy ANFO. All of these are equally unsafe because all of these pose explosion hazards if these are not handled properly. There have been many incidents where pumping of in-process and finished materials are required in explosives manufacturing operations. Improper and non-diligent pumping give rise to incidents of explosions resulting in losses of life. This is partly because the processes of pumping are thought to be “safe” and therefore (a) more people can be exposed in a single building because the risk of explosion is much smaller than with conventi
