Zodiac signs that are often neglected

Zodiac signs that are often neglected

Time of Indiaa day ago

Every zodiac sign has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, some signs tend to receive less attention or appreciation than others. This neglect is not because they lack value, but often because their traits are quiet, misunderstood, or simply overshadowed by louder personalities.
Let's take a look at the zodiac signs that are often overlooked or underappreciated.
Virgo
Virgos are practical, helpful, and hardworking. They quietly take care of details and support others without asking for recognition. Because they are humble and focused on helping, people may take them for granted. Their perfectionist nature also leads others to see them as critical, when in reality, they just want the best for everyone.
Capricorn
Capricorns are responsible, disciplined, and mature. They often carry the weight of many responsibilities and don't usually seek praise. Their serious nature can make them seem distant, causing others to forget the warmth and loyalty they offer to those close to them. They give silently but deeply.
Pisces
Pisces is sensitive, dreamy, and kind-hearted. Their emotional depth often goes unnoticed because they avoid conflict and prefer to express themselves through creativity or compassion.

People sometimes overlook Pisces because they are not loud or demanding, but they often feel the deepest emotions in any room.
Cancer
Cancer signs are nurturing, protective, and loving. They put others' needs before their own and can be emotionally strong for the people they care about. However, this emotional support is often expected rather than appreciated, which can make Cancer feel ignored or used.
These signs may not always stand in the spotlight, but they play vital roles in the lives of those around them. By noticing and valuing their quiet strength, loyalty, and emotional wisdom, we can create stronger, more supportive relationships.

Air India Gujarat plane crash: 'Why was landing gear down?', aviation experts on what might have caused crash

Air India plane crash NEW DELHI: In the wake of the Air India plane crash in Gujarat on Thursday, aviation experts are raising critical questions about the circumstances leading up to the incident. The crash, which occurred shortly after takeoff, has left investigators and aviation specialists questioning. Former pilot Ehsan Khalid emphasized the importance of the Flight Data Recorder, Cockpit Voice Recorder, and ACARS data in determining the exact cause of the crash. "The visuals show that the aircraft went down while flying. Which means there was no mid-air explosion," Khalid said. He pointed out that the aircraft appeared to have faced a loss of power, which could be attributed to engine malfunction. However, he stressed that it is highly unlikely for both engines to fail simultaneously, especially due to a bird strike within such a short timeframe. "The visuals show that the aircraft faced a loss of power... The loss of power can be due to engine malfunction, but it is very unlikely that both engines would lose power simultaneously. .. It is a very big engine, and it is rare that both engines lose power due to a bird hit in a one-minute duration," he added to his explanation on the possible cause. Khalid also highlighted the pilot's mayday call, suggesting that the crew was aware of a failure and attempted to manage it while airborne. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo "I don't understand why the landing gear was still down... The landing gear is raised as soon as the flight takes off... Since the landing gear was down, it is possible that a loss of engine was detected beforehand... There are many variables, and any speculation would be unjust.. . The biggest question is why the landing gear was not up. The flight was at a height of 600 feet... Whether it was one problem or multiple problems, no one can say anything yet," he added. Meanwhile, US aerospace safety consultant Anthony Brickhouse voiced similar concerns, noting that the landing gear's position was unusual for that phase of flight. "If you didn't know what was happening, you would think that plane was on approach to a runway," Brickhouse said, pointing to the anomaly. As investigators work to piece together the events leading up to the crash, the focus remains on understanding the cause of the crash. The aircraft was reportedly at a height of 600 feet when the incident occurred, raising questions about whether the crew was dealing with a single problem or multiple issues simultaneously.

Air India plane crash: What is a black box and what it can reveal

A London-bound Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner with 242 people onboard crashed shortly after taking off from Ahmedabad airport on Thursday, prompting large-scale rescue efforts and underscoring the vital role of flight data recorders in uncovering the cause of aviation accidents. The aircraft, flight AI-171, took off from Runway 23 at 1:39 PM IST and issued a MAYDAY call shortly after, according to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). The plane crashed in the Meghani Nagar area outside the airport perimeter after reaching just 625 feet altitude, exploding in a massive fireball. Captain Sumeet Sabharwal and First Officer Clive Kundar were commanding the flight carrying 232 passengers and 10 crew members en route to London Gatwick.

What Air India's Boeing 787-8 black box can reveal Ahmedabad plane crash In the Ahmedabad crash investigation, the black box will be key to determining whether the tragedy was caused by a mechanical issue, engine failure, bird strike, onboard fire, or human error. It will provide detailed insights into the crew's MAYDAY call, any automated alerts received, and their actions to recover control in the moments after takeoff. Live Events Ahmedabad Plane Crash: Google Earth imagery shows exact location of aircraft's take off & crash site in Meghaninagar. Watch video With the aircraft crashing at just 625 feet, the Flight Data Recorder will capture exact data on engine performance, control surface movements, and system alerts. The Cockpit Voice Recorder may reveal if the crew followed emergency checklists, how they coordinated their response, and whether any technical issues were discussed. Once recovered, the devices will be sent to forensic laboratories under the DGCA or Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, where experts will extract and decode memory modules, synchronize voice and flight data, and correlate findings with radar logs and air traffic control records. ALSO READ: Safety Engineering expert weighs in on deadly crash, explains exactly when the problem occurred The analysis process typically takes days to weeks depending on device damage and incident complexity. However, initial assessments are usually provided within 24 hours to guide the investigation's direction. What is a black box? Contrary to popular belief, aircraft "black boxes" are actually bright orange crash-resistant devices designed to survive extreme impact and fire. Every commercial aircraft carries two such recorders housed in reinforced casings built to withstand explosions, fire, water pressure, and high-speed crashes. The Flight Data Recorder (FDR) logs critical technical parameters including altitude, speed, engine thrust, and flight path data. Modern aircraft like the crashed Boeing 787 can record thousands of parameters covering everything from cockpit command inputs to air conditioning systems. The Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) captures all cockpit audio - pilot conversations, radio transmissions, warning alarms, and ambient mechanical sounds that could provide crucial clues about the final moments before impact. These recorders continuously store 25 hours of information, including data from previous flights within that timespan, which can sometimes reveal hints about mechanical failures that developed over time. Black boxes: crucial evidence in airplane accidents Flight recorders provide investigators with a second-by-second reconstruction of events leading up to a crash, offering the most objective account of what transpired in the cockpit and across aircraft systems. They serve as the aviation equivalent of DNA evidence in criminal cases - providing definitive, unbiased testimony when human witnesses may be unavailable. Black box data has proved decisive in solving major aviation disasters globally, from the 2015 Germanwings crash to Malaysia Airlines incidents. In India, the 2020 Kozhikode crash investigation relied heavily on these recordings to establish pilot decisions and runway conditions during the failed landing attempt. The devices often provide the only reliable account when there are no survivors or when physical evidence is destroyed or inconclusive. Beyond determining immediate causes, flight recorder analysis has led to industry-wide safety improvements, new training protocols, and aircraft design modifications that have prevented countless future accidents. As search teams work to locate the black boxes amid the wreckage, these orange recorders hold the answers to understanding what caused 242 lives to be put at risk and how similar tragedies can be prevented in the future.

DU to reserve PG seats for single girl child from 2025 in gender equity push

In a move aimed at furthering gender equity in higher education , Delhi University has announced that it will extend its single girl child quota to postgraduate (PG) courses from the 2025-26 academic session. Officials said the initiative will reserve one supernumerary seat in each PG programme for a woman candidate who is the only girl child in her family. The quota already exists at the undergraduate (UG) level and was implemented in the 2023-24 admission cycle. With this extension, the benefit will now apply to all 77 PG programmes offered by the university, admissions to which are conducted through CUET-PG followed by the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If You Eat Ginger Everyday for 1 Month This is What Happens Tips and Tricks "With this new quota, DU hopes to foster an environment that values the contribution of girls, allowing them to advance their education without barriers. By offering this support, the university aims to make higher education more accessible and provide equal opportunities for all students," said a university official. Delhi University already has a series of supernumerary quotas to support students from diverse backgrounds, including those for sports, persons with disabilities, orphans, and children and widows of armed forces personnel. Last year, 132 seats were allocated to orphans under a special quota introduced in the wake of Covid-19.
