Jessica Wade : 1,700 Wikipedia Entries on Women Scientists and still doing it

 

Jessica Wade, a 34-year-old British scientist, has been writing a Wikipedia entry every day to highlight the achievements of women scientists whose contributions to the world have either gone unnoticed or remain largely unacknowledged, no thanks to the systemic racial bias in Wikipedia's coverage as well as that of mainstream media. Wade believes that diversity matters in the scientific community because diverse minds come up with diverse solutions, and not operating from the privileged white male gaze affords them viewpoints into other ways of living that perhaps need scientific innovation. This is why highlighting the achievements of women scientists, in a field largely dominated by white men, became essential to Wade.

यम , अष्टांग योग का पहला अंग ; YAM, the first one of the Eight-Fold Yoga

यम का अर्थ है 'निग्रह' अथवा अंकुश (कर्म-बन्ध  पर ) । कर्म बंधन के सभी रास्तों पर रोक लगा देना ही यम है । यम पांच हैं । अहिंसा, सत्य, अस्तेय, ब्रह्मचर्य, एवं अपरिग्रह । 
मन, वचन, एवं कर्म से किसी प्राणी को दुःख या कष्ट न देना अहिंसा है ।
हम स्वयं जो मानते व जानते  हैं , वोही तथ्य किसी अन्य के सामने उसी रूप  में प्रस्तुत किया जाये तो ये सत्य है । 
जिस वस्तु पे अधिकार न हो उसे न अपनाना या किसी अन्य कि वस्तु  बिना उनकी आज्ञा के प्राप्त न करना अस्तेय है । साधारण शब्द में इसका अर्थ है चोरी न करना ।
हमारे शरीर की  सभी इंद्रियों का संयम करना ब्रह्मचर्य है ।
अवश्यकता से अधिक वस्तुओं का संग्रह न करना अपरिग्रह कहलाता  है । 

YAM means a fullstop to any possibility of starting a new karma-loop. It is a means to close all the possible ways of acquiring negative doings. There are five YAM.
Ahinsa, Satya, Asteya, Brahmcharya, Aparigrah.
