Does EVM ( Electronic Voting Machine ) get bugs or Failure during the work?

At First! Let me tell you how Electronics Voting Machine works? And What are the parts it's consists of and Woking etc.

Electronic Voting Machine (also known as EVM) is voting using electronic means to either aid or take care of the chores of casting and counting votes and displaying casted votes by voter.

An EVM is designed with three units: the control unit , VVPAT and the balloting unit. These units are joined together by a cable and it's is happening in presence of an EVM Engineer. 

Control Unit is an electronic machine which is used to allow a ballot to Ballot Unit and also Storing data of Ballot unit that uses to counting of votes.

Ballot Unit is used to collect a command from voters. It's consists of candidates name sheets and button to be press for voting.

VVPAT ( Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail ) is a displaying unit of EVM. It's uses for displying which candidates the voter opted by Ballot Unit.

Now, As ex EVM Engineer experienced that there many bugs find in EVM as 

Control Unit has issue with the switches and also has bug with storage and power issue. CU has also bugs with power pack ( cell used inside). Candidates Set is being a issue if VVPAT has not been attached while commissioning.

VVPAT has many sensor issues:
a) light sensor error, b) proximite sensor error, c) horizontal sensor error, d) printing error, e) paper roller error, f) switching on/off error, g) locking lach broken error etc. If light is directly upward to to VVPAT then it get failure during actual poll. And if a presiding officer switching on or off the EVM then each time its cut 7 papers everytime.

Ballot Unit has also a bug like Button is not as per the requirement due to regular uses of same Ballot Unit. It has a issue when connected more than one Ballot Unit in a system of EVM. It goes to factory mode after carrying one place to others.

But it is very clear that EVM cannot be hacks because there is no any external unit or internet is not even connected. If any one tell you it's happening you may send this blog links that shows all bugs and failure of EVM but it never discribed that EVM will be hacks at any of the stages.

Ten Things Everyone Should Know About Time

“Time” is  the most used noun in the English language , yet it remains a mystery. We’ve just completed an amazingly intense and rewarding multidisciplinary conference on the nature of time , and my brain is swimming with ideas and new questions. Rather than trying a summary (the talks will be online soon), here’s my stab at a top ten list partly inspired by our discussions: the things everyone should know about time. [Update: all of these are things I think are true, after quite a bit of deliberation. Not everyone agrees, although of course they should.] 1. Time exists.  Might as well get this common question out of the way. Of course time exists — otherwise how would we set our alarm  CLOCKS ? Time organizes the universe into an ordered series of moments, and thank goodness; what a mess it would be if reality were complete different from moment to moment. The real question is whether or not time is  fundamental , or perhaps emergent. We used to think that “tempe...

Why India’s membership of Washington Accord is a big deal..

There's good news for Indian engineers. The country is now a permanent member of the Washington Accord. Membership means global recognition of Indian degrees and is likely to increase the mobility of engineers to the USA and other countries for jobs. Congratulating her ministry's officials, HRD Minister Smriti Irani said that the development will "ensure that highest quality assurance standards (are) implemented in our technical and engineering programmes to provide global mobility to our engineering graduates". So what is the Washington According? It is an international accreditation agreement for professional engineering academic degrees, between the bodies responsible for accreditation in its signatory countries. In India the body responsible for accrediting the engineering degrees is the National Board of of Accreditation (NBA). The accord was established in 1989 and the current members include: Australia, Canada, Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong China, India, Ireland, ...

'Stronger education & skills required to fight the employ-ability crisis'

Youth unemployment and underemployment have reached critical levels and are expected to continue to rise in most G20 economies. Yet many employers cannot find enough people with the skills they need to grow their business and enable the economy to recover, according to a recent report by Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) titled 'Addressing the Employability Crisis'.  The report says this is threatening the global economic recovery and could lead to a "lost generation" of young adults. It talks about a need to forge stronger links between academia and business, education and skills, theory and practice, supply and demand to fight the employability crisis.  According to the report, some of the factors in global employability crisis are older workers' employability (older workers' skill sets can become dated and their benefits can make them relatively expensive), changing demographics (supply of workers is outstripping employment opportunities...
