---------------------
According to statistics, 24 suicides take place in India every day and 12-14 suicides are conducted by people aged below 18. It also claims that most of these victims are aged between 8 to 12. What could be reason that such young kids decide to end their lives even before they had started living it properly? Today in Crime Patrol, we bring to you three such suicide cases.
Crime Patrol Dial 100:
-----------------------------------
Crimes that tell us, we need to be careful, we need to be watchful. Crimes that tell us lives could have been saved.Every crime we hear of, either warns us to be careful or scares us, it could happen to us. Every crime ignites a feeling, 'It should not have happened'.Would knowing the 'Why' behind a crime, help in stopping a crime from happening?'I don’t like the way he looks at me', 'I don’t like the way he/she is behaving', 'I think he/she is out of his/her mind', 'I think he/she has gone crazy'. That gaze, that quirky smile, that persistent stare which unnerves. It is difficult to understand the intentions but the hints are there.In a house a husband and wife argue, fight. A vessel comes flying, a glass breaks. Husband is angry and the wife is upset. That hatred, that ego. The distance that keeps growing. It is difficult to comprehend the damage, but the cracks are there.Feelings… expressions. Misunderstood, unresolved callings of the heart. The cracks are there. Too wide to be missed. Yet when the heart takes over the mind, the outcome is a mindless tragedy.Crime Patrol- Dastak will attempt to look at the signs, the signals that are always there before these mindless crimes are committed. Instincts/Feelings/Signals that so often tell us that not everything is normal. May be, that signal/feeling/instinct is just not enough to believe it could result in a crime. Unfortunately after the crime is committed, those same signals come haunting.

Cement
A cement is a binder, a substance that sets and hardens as the cement dries and also reacts with carbon dioxide in the air dependently, and can bind other materials together. The word cement traces to the Romans, who used the term opus caementicium to describe masonry resembling modern concrete that was made from crushed rock with burnt lime as binder. The volcanic ash and pulverized brick additives that were added to the burnt lime to obtain a hydraulic binder were later referred to as cementum, cimentum, cäment, and cement.

Autoreduction is an anti-capitalist and collective practice of a group of people to impose a lower price of a product or service until it is free. A group of consumers take upon themselves to reduce the price of some good or service, and act collectively. This could include collectively engaging in shoplifting, avoiding paying transit fares or for tickets to enter movies, or calling in sick for work. The targeted service or product is generally considered by activists as being essential and should be available on an equal basis for all people. Critics of autoreduction do not distinguish between this type of practice and criminal theft or robberies.
This action takes various forms of non-payment for transportation or goods in supermarkets. It can result from refusal to include an increase in rent or utilities such as electricity, gas, or water. It may be done with the aim of redistributing goods to those in need.
In Italy, rent strikes are numerous and affected several large cities (Rome, Milan, and Turin) in the mid-1970s. This reappropriation of the proletarian practice was systematized by the autonomous movement also spoke of immediate communism. In France, this was the case in the rent strike in Sonacotra in 1975.
The Autonomia movement in 1977 involved activities of autoreduction, and had the result of spaces being created where principles like anti-capitalism are popular, among the related themes in punk and hardcore music.
After a lull in the practice of this type of action, there was a renewed interest in 2008: the social crisis caused by market speculation appears to be a favorable environment for the revival of the practice. In late 2008, several autoreductions were organized by politicized groups with precarious workers, unemployed, intermittent, and students in struggle, including Paris, Rennes, and Grenoble.
Autoreduction may also be done regarding food in supermarkets. The action involves shopping for foods and refusing to pay. After blocking checkout lanes in protest, dialogue is initiated with management. The militants rely on the time of blocking the credit union that may represent a loss to the company based on the amount of requisitioned products in shopping carts, as some customers decide to abandon their purchases because of the situation. If management agrees to allow the militants to leave with their carts, it is not legally a flight, but extortion. Requisitioned products are then collectively shared or distributed in neighborhoods, to show the militant and selfless character of the action.
The practice of autoreduction in public transportation is to travel in large numbers via public transit without paying, and distributing leaflets among passengers traveling at the same time. The stated aim is to make this type of transport free in the city, as it may already be in other cities in the country. This approach has an ecological dimension, with a view that free public transport would encourage its use and reduce the number of cars in the city, thereby reducing pollution. This type of action has been taken over by militant environmental movements in the Camp for Climate Action, for example.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

SUMMARY
=======
Alabaster is a mineral or rock that is soft, often used for carving, and is processed for plaster powder. Archaeologists and the stone processing industry use the word differently from geologists. The former use is in a wider sense that includes varieties of two different minerals: the fine-grained massive type of gypsum and the fine-grained banded type of calcite. Geologists define alabaster only as the gypsum type. Chemically, gypsum is a hydrous sulfate of calcium, while calcite is a carbonate of calcium.Both types of alabaster have similar properties. They are usually lightly colored, translucent, and soft stones. They have been used throughout history primarily for carving decorative artifacts.The calcite type is also denominated onyx-marble, Egyptian alabaster, and Oriental alabaster and is geologically described as either a compact banded travertine or a stalagmitic limestone marked with patterns of swirling bands of cream and brown. Onyx-marble is a traditional, but geologically inaccurate, name because both onyx and marble have geological definitions that are distinct from even the broadest definition of alabaster.
In general, ancient alabaster is calcite in the wider Middle East, including Egypt and Mesopotamia, while it is gypsum in medieval Europe. Modern alabaster is probably calcite but may be either. Both are easy to work and slightly soluble in water. They have been used for making a variety of indoor artwork and carving, and they will not survive long outdoors.
The two kinds are readily distinguished by their different hardnesses: gypsum alabaster is so soft that a fingernail scratches it (Mohs hardness 1.5 to 2), while calcite cannot be scratched in this way (Mohs hardness 3), although it yields to a knife. Moreover, calcite alabaster, being a carbonate, effervesces when treated with hydrochloric acid, while gypsum alabaster remains almost unaffected when thus treated.
