    all-upward-movement-lost-in-a-single-day

    Though not written in a title, I am talking about Bitcoin. If you see the chart below Bitcoin has started the upward movement on 21st of September and after that it was gaining momentum though slowly but in the last 24 hours it has lost more than what it gained in 15 days i.e. all the work done by Bitcoin in 15 days is been lost and it has to start again. ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZwLTERv9Dbg5FuRkejfncTwwKpTKBnRp3kmfStakuvUR/image.png) PC : Bittrex.com Why Its happen, because few things that Goldman Sachs has reduced the priority to participate in the Crypto market and it had made investors to take out the money from Bitcoin. Not only Bitcoin but all the 7 best currencies on CryptoMarketCap has plunged above 10% ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQme6DFPXADRg1hk63LPwPzDF6DyZxbP3pNfMBpJpsvfbf5/image.png) PC : CryptoMarketCap.com

    a-happy-teachers-day-from-india

    It is a Teacher's day today in India and this day is quite special for all the students as well as for the teachers. In India, the birthday of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan is celebrated as Teacher's Day since 1962. ![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/Qmd1K4Yn77sNtPdDwptWRo6VsJCiMtiSbPGHrV9k7DQQ3t) PC : https://www.maxpixel.net/Cupcake-Toy-Bear-Teachers-Day-1636605 So I am taking this opportunity to thank all my teachers, who have taught me so many things in life. Teachers are not only the teachers of my school or college but all those who have taught me simple things to do better in life. I am thanking all of them to be on my side, being a guide to me, correcting me to make me a better person. For all of us, the first teachers are our parents, who have taught the lesson from the very beginning, that to be happy and always smiling. They have also taught us that how to sacrifice to bring happiness to others. Along with others, everyone is a teacher to self. We learn so many things from ourselves, thus helping ourselves to become a better person.

    What Have I learned Today - 4th September, 2018

    what-have-i-learned-today-4th-september-2018

    Its always better to write down what have you learned on a particular day. I will try to write whenever I will learn any new things or discover anything which will make my life easier. I am working on SOLR (Solr is an open source search platform, written in Java) for quite some time and I have not fully discovered the software as a whole. I learn new things everyday whenever I start working on it. One such thing I learned today is analyzing my result. Before today, whenever I change my schema I reindex all my documents to see if the change worked or not. But doing that was time-consuming as I have to reindex the whole database which would take almost half a day depending on the network. Now with Analysis I actually do not have to reindex the whole database, but I can analyze the field by sending the query to know if that is giving me right results or not as shown below.

    ![solr.PNG](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmeMqKJsPVJ3tRYhNR6rujEiFGYyKxarfQGSHFSG49tcfk)
    In simple terms, Analysis helps me to inspect how the data will be handled according to the field, field type based on the Schema. Now I can analyze how content would be handled during indexing as well as query processing and view the results at the same time, thus it helps me to be productive. #### Is there anything new you have learned today?

    What I do when I feel being a developer is boring

    September 03, 2018
    what-i-do-when-i-feel-being-a-developer-is-boring

    As a developer, I sometimes feel bored when I have to do the same task again and again in my day job, so I have to do something other than the normal coding which helps me to overcome the boredom. First and foremost reason of getting bored is that you are not liking what you are doing. That's true when we have to do the same task again and again, it feels boring. But being in a day job you do not have any other option but have to do the task, so how you will overcome that boredom. The reason is simple, try different things. I usually work on ASP.NET and I love it but I always have to manage the legacy code and I could not learn any new technologies coming in my way. So what I have done I started my mini project (though not getting enough time now to work on that) which is on the newer technologies which have its own set of issues and excitement. Thus I can somehow reduce the boredom because now I can spend some hours on the exciting things. Similarly, you should also start with some hobby along with Software Development, like playing guitar, traveling or even photography. I too whenever possible try to travel as well as clicking pictures which reduces my boredom quite a lot.

    As in my [previous post](https://steemit.com/india/@codingdefined/krishna-janmashtami) I have explained what exactly is Krishna Janmashtami. So I have visited Iskcon temple on the occasion of Janmashtami, which is a Radha Krishna Temple.

    krishna-janmashtami

    This year we are celebrating Krishna Janmashtami on nd of September i.e. today. Krishna Janmashtami, which is also known as Gokulashtami, is a Hindu festival where we celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna (8th Avatar of Lord Vishnu). We celebrate Krishna Janmashtami by fasting, singing, praying together till midnight, preparing and sharing special food and visiting Krishna temples. I am also fasting today where we have eaten fruits that also only one time, and then we will celebrate at 12 AM and after that, we will break our fast. We are also decorated our small temple with flowers and doing prayers. ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZhA71DYqMSBcNq2MPfAh8JG4F2QPNVfTggPirjgi4nF7/image.png) ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZUdLjafxShcg8ZNYew26A3FpepJ6qL5GSJkyfn8TeNGc/image.png) In Gujarat, there is a tradition where people hung Dahi Handi(Pots of Yogurt) on tall poles where a team of youths will construct a pyramid shape and try to break that.

    Learning Long Exposure Photography

    September 01, 2018
    learning-long-exposure-photography-1a5810460d6bc

    As a compete beginner on Photography, I am exploring different type of photography as and when I have some time. So yesterday I tried to learn Long Exposure Photography using Smartphone. Since I have a Nokia 6, I do not have an option of changing ISO or Shutter Speed. Because of that I have downloaded Open Camera which has lot of option in Manual Settings which can be changed to get the photo in wherever way you want. So since I have to do Long Exposure, I only have to change the ISO and Shutter Speed, which can be changed as shown below. ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/3tcfo2wjsk.jpg) Since I was novice in Stutter Speed, I have not changed the settings. So I have clicked with ISO 50 and no change in Stutter Speed. There is no difference in image as shown below. ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/bjmpf8n5xp.jpg) As you can see, there is very less light and only tail lights of few cars can be seen and the whole background is black. Then I tried to change the Stutter Speed and made it as half. Though I got some photos but they were also not that great as shown below. Even though, it was not great I learned that along with ISO you also need to change the Shutter Speed. ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/wcw9iq0925.jpg) As I have learned I changed the ISO to 50 and Sutter Speed to 1/12 s, I started getting some of the good photos as shown below. ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/s5kdnbnvsb.jpg) ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/kxua0uepnh.jpg) ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/wif02evj4n.jpg) Then I edited the first best picture using snapseed and got my first learning successful. ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/zenhv2nrze.jpg) Though I have to learn a lot, but it was a successful experiment or learning.

    what-photos-look-like-painting

    In your opinion what photos look like its painted and not really taken. We all have seen photorealistic art or paintings that really looks like photographs, but there are quite a few photos that look like paintings. Similarly, I have clicked one photo which to me looks like a painting. This below photo was taken in Golconda Fort in Hyderabad. ![IMG_20180324_104000-01.jpeg](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmSqfeaePNJygddDf6yr6eRvtiUHwVqo233khweW5nCErA) ### Camera: Nokia 6, Edited using SnapSeed

    As the title suggests, not only the flower is beautiful but you can see how well the flowers are blooming i.e. in all directions. I also tried to capture it with the macro lens to show how beautifully the web is lying over the flower. ![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmSUDQfFQpQKYbjtyUNbFJ1kN75cJ6T5bJeoygN9QSuvcj) ### Camera: Nokia 6
