We need to move away from arbitrary pricing to Pricing derived from formula(s). Any Service Providers or Function provider or Organization or Company or Government has to adopt deriving of Fees, Rates, Taxes, Charges, Pricing based on the following fundamental aspects,
1. The Components or Factors impacting the pricing
2. Input Cost
3. Value adds Cost
4. Materials or Raw materials used cost
5. Services Costs
6. Cost of Inflation Index
7. Sales and Marketing Cost
8. Manufacturing Cost
9. Taxes
10. Transportation Costs
11. Cost to the Company
In General the most basic fundamental factors that affect pricing are Cost to the Product (Factors impacting the same) and it's Services, Taxes, Transportation, CRM, Delivery line or Delivery Channel or Chain, inflation, etc.
Therefore, any service or product or any other rates or charges or fees always have to be derived from Factors fundamentally impacting such a service or product and cost of inflation or inflation index.
For example the "The First Schedule Fees" as listed in the PDF available in the following link as on date (18th October 2020) does not outline the fundamental basis of it's pricing nor it's pricing strategy. A function from a Government always should be based on sound Fundamental Principles, Repeatable, Consistency and should stand time. If it has to stand time in the future as well then it has to be based on Factors impacting a product or service and a formula to arrive at the rates only,
The formula(s) have to be defined in such a way that it stands time with out much impact to it, in case new factors are identified then the formula(s) have be revised as per new impacting factory by how much they influence or the impact they create on the rate or charge or price.

Dear Builders
Google Pay Tamil and Map Tamil
The users or customers of Google Pay or Google Map have configured the language as Tamil.
When a transaction is completed in Google Pay, the app indicates the transaction completion as முடிந்தது rather it should be பணம் பரிவர்த்தனை நல்லபடியாக செலுத்தப்பட்டது, வாத்துக்கள்.
Similarly, when a travel journey using Google App is completed the message should be உங்கள் பயணம் இலக்கை அடைந்து விட்டீர்கள், வாத்துக்கள்.
Such, a message gives a positivism and helps the users of the app.
Hope Google makes or accepts the suggestion and improvises it's message to reflect the true nature of the transaction completed using their Software or Apps. The message shown in each of the language it supports truly reflects the meaning of the usage of the feature, or transaction completed.

I was driving today from 10th October 2020 from Gerumgambakkam to Sholinganallur. I tuned to the Local or FM radio station. The FM Stations that are licensed to air their programs with in the Geographical (GPS) limit of TN.
I was listening to Tamil Songs and News. As I continued to drive on my way to the Sholinganallur location. I was thinking of a Vehicle Dashboard System, that includes an entertainment system that has features like,
1. DirectToVehicle (like DTH) receiver (for e.g SunDirect,Airtel,Videocon,....)
2. The Vehicle Dashboard Systems includes a embedded NMS, Wifi Router, FrequencySwitch or SetupBox. The idea is that the VDS would be a smart computer with microchips, microcontrollers, motherboard, displaypanels, rear seat entertainment true display panels to play audio and video musics. The VDS display panel would include Phone, Navigation features with Speech recognition and to automatically inform my status to the target location. This feature to let the target location person know about my arrival, the person whom I want to meet would then be able to personally greet me when I arrive at the location through SMS, whatsapp, GoogleMapSychronization between two persons, and so on. The same feature could come handy when we start for an appointment with hospitals, doctors, clinics, Government offices, Companies, Schools, Colleges, and so on. This ensures that target location person or System (Attendance System is notified of any traffic delays, accidents, incidents or the person has diverted to a different location for whatsoever reason). The same system could also notify my family members of my current location and whether I have reached or not.
3. The MAP would be automatically saving the Places of my Visits, My Home location (sourcing from address updates, from ID card providers), my office location (sourcing from companies, org, ngos, Government offices), Places of Recreation, My club membership, My shopping locations, My sports arenas, my Grocery stores, My Relatives places, My Home Town or Nativity location from Nativity Certificate and so on.. This would be very easy for us to pick a location as either destination or source location.
4. The Entertainment Systems on VDS would be synced with Home Subscription DTH plan or with providers like SunDirect who would then customize programs for my likes. This information can be automatically built using algorithm from my Social Media Handles, the TV programs that I watch, the Sports Programs I am interested on, the News channels I watch or Emergency News, avoid taking a certain route, alert, notification, synch with my personal and official calendars, mails, social media platforms. The songs I watch in youtube, the kind of music I hear (melody, kuthu pattu etc). The Kind of movies I and my Family members watch and so on would be a very good feature, like GoogleChrome launched with a User Profile history.
5. Slot for Extension Sim Cards for Navigation or OnBoard VehicleSatelliteTransmitterandReciever feature.
6. Synced with JustDrive Software or application or Framework, along with my payment details like Gpay -UPI via which I drive non stop, no toll booths and my payment history is available for my entire usage of the Vehicle.
7. Vehicle Ownership transfer details on boards syscs with RTO or local authorities via IIN or Individual Identity Number or card or Bio-metric enabled access.
8. Individual Identity Number or Card or Bio-metric enabled access to the Card. Such a Bio-Metric enabled feature allows the Vehicles to accessed by pre-configuration by the owner of the Vehicle, OTP authentication with IIN provider (KeyPass or aadhaar or any other provider) to confirm Ownership and one time registration. .
9. This subscription (Home,Personal Devices and Vehicle - DTHPDV Direct to home, personal devices or family members devices and personal vehicles or family members vehicles subscription plan) also enables a cloud storage using which the History, the preferences, profile, configurations, payment infos, vehicle ownership are all stored in a cloud space that is part of the subscription cost itself.
10. This system can automatically receive alert from Patrols, requesting them to slow down on a particular drive, inform authorities of an emergency, take special permission on board to drive faster, warnings counts allowed every drive, warning counts crossed, alerts police or patrol for pursuit and so on.. The system could also automatically force slow down of vehicle when a police patrol is chasing a suspect or speeding vehicle. That would mean the Patrol vehicles would be able to force a vehicle to reduce the speed and the VDS would automatically decelerate to the limits defined.
and so on would be very handy for us. These features make the car theft free and the local police station or nearest police station can be automatically notified attempt to theft, or theft and notify the owner as well. The GPS co-ordinate, dateandtime at / on which the car was attempted for a theft and so on..
The CAR that I own presently is Maruthi Suzuki Swift Dzire K10 Series VXI 2010 Model, registered June 2010.

Chapter Name Cubes and Cube Roots
The exercise and problem number in question are 7.1 and 4 respectively,
Problem Statement,
Parikshit makes a Cubiod of plastic one of sides 5cm,2cm,5cm. HOW MANY SUCH CUBIODS WILL BE NEED TO FORM A CUBE?
The Solution taught by the teacher in the school The PSBB millennium school, Gerugambakkam, Chennai is that we require twenty such cubiods,
A perfect a cube is only possible if the sides are of equal length. For example 1,8,27,64,125, 216,343… and so on are examples of cubes whose sides measure 1,2,3,4,5, 6,7. Respectively.
In my view and understanding we could never make a perfect cube or rubix cube where the dimensions of the each of components sides are not equal.
The solutions is 20 such cubiods forms a non rubix cube of matrix 2,2,5 where 2 row, 2 columns and 5 perpdicular arrangements. That would mean it would be a non rubix cube and not a rubix cube.
Therefore, in my view and understanding the question should clearly state us to form a non rubix cube asking to make a cube out of cubiods is bit confusing as I related a cube to rubix cube where each individual components are cubes themselves. Therfore, the question perhaps should have been to form a non rubix cube from the cubiods of given dimension, where in only the resulting cubes dimensions are of same length, i.e length =breadth =height.
My conclusion is that a non rubix cube can be formed by 20 such cubiods, the Solution is to find the LCM of 5,5,2 which is 10 and the number of cubiods required to form the non rubix cube would simply be, product of (LCM of Length, breadth, height / length *LCM of Length, breadth, height / breadth * LCM of Length, breadth, height / height) = 10/5*10/5*10/2=2*2*5=4*5=20
The smallest number of non rubix cube that can be formed is 20 and the
The resulting non rubix cube would be 3D matrix of 2 rows, 2columns,5 perpendiculars. The resulting objects dimension would be length=10,breadth =10,height=10, the overall volume is 10^3=1000
Therefore, 3 dimensional picture to the solution would be better for understanding and that helps the students.
