Adolf Eichmann, also known as the desk murderer, was one of the facilitators of what is famously known as Hitler’s “Final Solution to the Jewish Question”. The role assigned to Eichmann was to transport the Jews to the camps and schedule the train timetables. He had the complete autonomy to look at men and decide their fate, as in, he had the responsibility to determine which Jewish individuals were to be sent to the death camps and which to be banished outside the German parameters. In his defense Eichmann argued how He was simply a cog in the Nazi machine, who did not have the active choice to opt-out of the propaganda. He was working under duress because if he did not comply with the orders from his superiors, he would face adverse consequences. Therefore, given his incapacity to intervene as a puny official and the necessity to survive in Nazi Germany because he had a family, given that his non-compliance would in all probability not have hurt the propaganda but merely been replaced by another faceless official, it was unfair to sentence him to death as he did not design the holocaust.

"technologies that tackle the cause of climate change are technologies along the lines of ""Alternate non polluting energy sources, Technologies that reduce the carbon footprint from ignition of motor fuel, etc.."" i.e. technologies that work on reducing the emmission or the root cause. Whereas, technologies that tackle the effect of climate change directly work to reduce the severity of climate change, i.e, it doesn't focus on emissions but rather focuses on making sure that the effects of those emissions are lowered, for example, building ocean walla to prevent excessive floodings in coastal areas, developing crop that's resistant to extreme climates etc..

Chess960, also known as Fischer Random Chess, is a variant of chess strongly advocated by legendary grandmaster and former world champion Bobby Fischer. The main difference in this variant is the starting position, where the pieces are arranged randomly while ensuring equality in positional advantage. With advancement of Chess computers such as Stockfish, and Chess Theory becoming increasingly accessible, many have argued how Chess in the Status Quo has been reduced to a memorisation battle i.e., if you remember your theory and have studied enough past games from Stockfish, you are above the average player already. This has ‘de-romanticised’ chess among many fans who say how the game is now no longer a test of intellect and creativity but simply a measure of your memory. FIDE is a body that spearheads chess regulations around the world and is responsible for organising the World Chess Championship.

These are funds allocated by the government for the acquisition, construction, or improvement of physical assets such as infrastructure, buildings, machinery, and equipment. Clarification: CapEx is different from Revenue Expenditure. Revenue expenditures are the ongoing operating expenses, which are short-term expenses used to run the daily operations.

"Sri Reddy’s is the story of how the face of a powerful feminist movement implodes. When the actress stripped in defiance of sexual exploitation in the Telugu film industry in 2017, she announced her intentions ahead of her act, so that the news crews were ready, waiting to see if she would really dare. She did. It was in front of the Movie Artistes’ Association (MAA), in Hyderabad’s shiny Jubilee Hills area. Reporters closed in on her as she took off each item of clothing, one by one, escalating her protest with each new set of eyes to bear witness. TV crews circled her like buzzards to carrion. She was at the end of her tether. Over half a decade later, she’s a forgotten piece of MeToo history. How does a protest like that vanish? How does a person like that vanish? She says I can call her Sri. These days, she makes YouTube videos from her refuge in Chennai, having left her Hyderabad life – and the industry she fought for and with –behind. “I’m leading my life very happily. It took four years to come out of that black mark,” she says. But a few minutes later: “I’m not very happy in my life, mentally.” She says she misses her freedom. She doesn’t have good friends because she feels guilty if they bring up her past. “I’m doing my work, I’m earning good, I’m okay. But still I have a gap with society.” When people recognize her in Chennai, she imagines what they’re thinking: This is that girl. The nude protest. The one who was “used” by everybody. When she goes to temples, the few times she steps out, she covers herself up. In real life, she keeps a low profile."

Alan Turing was one of the most gifted mathematicians to have ever lived, known for his prodigious abilities as a logistician and computer scientist. Born with Asperger’s Syndrome, he grew up a social outcast on account of his reserved and ‘awkward’ manner. During the Second World War, he was recruited by British intelligence to join a team of expert cryptographers seeking to break the infamous Enigma Code used by the Nazis to send encrypted messages. Turing poured his heart and soul into cracking the code that had seemingly given him the purpose of a lifetime, but was also perhaps the only way to defeat the Axis powers at the height of the conflict. When they are finally close to breaking the Enigma, though, the realisation strikes that this team of five people would hold the power to decide who lives and who dies, when, where and how. For it is in the now-decrypted messages that all of the Germans’ communication on war strategy, deployment of troops, naval and air strike plans, coordinates of bombing targets, defense tactics, etc. find a safe channel.Turing now finds himself in a conundrum. If they were to relay every bit of information they decoded to authorities higher up in the chain of command, who would in turn intercept all potential attacks, they would risk alerting the enemy to the possibility of Enigma having been cracked. The Germans would simply switch up the code and the war would drudge on. On the other hand, if the cryptanalysts were to hold back and divulge only some bits of the information being received by them, the war itself would meet an imminent end but at great personal cost - that of having to choose which attacks to prevent and which ones to allow, striking just the right balance to tip the scales in their favour without giving rise to suspicions if too many of their own people got away from the clutches of death.
