EMILIO PALMA, THE FIRST CHILD IN THE HISTORY OF ANTARCTICA WHO WAS BORN IN 1978

The first human to be born on the continent of Antarctica was Emilio Marcos Palma, born on January 7, 1978, at the Argentine Army's Esperanza base near the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. and his father, Captain Jorge Emilio Palma, was the head of the Argentine army contingent at the base. In late 1977, Sylvia Morela de Palma, who was seven months pregnant at the time, was airlifted to Esperanza base to carry out her pregnancy at the base. At the time Britain, Chile and Argentina (all signatories to the Antarctic Treaty of 1959) were competing to ratify the sovereignty of the icy island. One way for the government to demonstrate its commitment and aura of authority was to populate the land with indigenous citizens. Emilio was automatically granted Argentine citizenship by the government as both his parents were Argentine citizens.

He is featured in the Guinness Book of Records as the first person in history to have been born on the continent.

THE ONLY COUNTRY ON EARTH THAT HAS LORD GANESHA ON THE NOTE IS THE COUNTRY WITH THE LARGEST MUSLIM POPULATION

Did you know that a picture of Lord Ganesha is engraved on the Indonesian Rs 20,000 note? In Indonesia, 87.2 percent of the population is Muslim while 1.7 percent is of Hindus. As a result of this demographic, the picture of Lord Ganesha is inscribed on the note, which has taken many by surprise. But the truth is that the Indonesian archipelago has been under the influence of Hinduism since the first century. Some aspects of Hinduism, in fact, continue to influence Indonesian culture even today. Apart from the inscription of Lord Ganesha on the note, there are many other patterns in Indonesia that resonate with Hindu culture. The Arjuna Vijaya statue is a landmark in Jakarta Square, while Hanuman is the official mascot of Indonesia's military intelligence. Apart from this, there is also the logo of Bandung Institute of Technology, an educational institution.

NASA BEGINS FLIGHT TEST OF ELECTRIC AIR TAXI

NASA begins flight testing with Joby Aviation's all-electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. The testing process will take place from August 30 to September 10 at Joby's Electric Flight Base near Big Sur in California. This is the first time NASA is testing an EVTOL aircraft as part of the campaign. In the future, EVTOL aircraft could serve as air taxis to cities and surrounding areas across the country, adding another mode of transportation to carry people and goods. The test will help identify gaps in current Federal Aviation Administration regulations and policies to help AAM aircraft incorporate into the national airspace system. This multi-event campaign to advance airspace mobility in the US will take place in multiple locations over the years. "The national campaign development test is an important strategic step in NASA's goals of accelerating the AAM industry timeline," said Davis Hackenberg, NASA AAM mission integration manager. "These test scenarios will help inform gaps in existing standards to benefit industry progress in integrating AAM vehicles into the airspace." During this round of testing, NASA will collect data from Joby's EVTOL aircraft, which is intended to serve as a commercial passenger service in the future. Analyzing that data prepares the AAM National Campaign to perform the first set of campaign tests, known as NC-1, for more complex flight scenarios and with other industry vehicles scheduled for 2022. As the Joby aircraft flies through planned test scenarios, the NASA team will collect information about how the vehicle moves, how the vehicle sounds and how the vehicle communicates with controllers. Future participants will fly in similar scenarios to evaluate their vehicle readiness. The team will deploy the Mobile Acoustics Facility to measure the acoustic profile of Joby's aircraft at various stages of flight and to build an array of more than 50 microphones. "NASA's Common National Campaign is critical to scientific understanding and public acceptance of the EVTOL aircraft," said Joben Bevart, founder and CEO of Joby Aviation. "We are incredibly proud to have worked closely with NASA on electric flight over the past 10 years and to be the first EVTOL company to fly as part of the campaign." Another element of testing includes ensuring that external categories participating in NC-1 meet protocols for future testing by establishing a baseline for participation. The team will also test NASA's flight safety and airworthiness procedures to approve participants to participate in the campaign. The AAM National Campaign is managed by NASA's Advanced Air Dynamics Project, which plans to be a community catalyst for developing and validating systems-level concepts and solutions. for mango. The Common Project is a part of the agency's Aeronautical Research Mission Directorate.

200 FOOT RABBIT IN ITALY

Image result A 180-foot giant stuffed bunny built on top of a hill in Italy Over a period of five years, the group weaved a giant, pink, woolly rabbit named "Hase" (Hare)—200 feet long, 20 feet high— And in 2005, it was dropped on top of a hill in the Piedmont region. Italy. Why? It's for hikers to enjoy, and, by 2025, for it to completely decay

In 2005, residents of Artesina were surprised to look out their windows and see a new addition in one of the many 5,000-foot-high mountains in the countryside of northern Italy. Almost overnight, a giant pink hare had made its way up the hill, in contrast to the dark green foliage covering the slopes. It is difficult to see this giant rabbit 200 feet long and 20 feet high. Created by art collective from Vienna, Gelitin, the macabre was built on rabbit hill, with its entrails flushed outward to make visitors feel like the Lilliputians of Gulliver's Travels. To accomplish his goals, Gelitin encourages visitors to climb, jump, or take a little rest over the lifeless, stuffy body of the rabbit. There is no set expulsion date for the hae, and it will likely remain there until it is consumed by Mother Nature, or by roaming animals. The creators expected Bunny to last until 2025, although it was almost completely disbanded by 2016.

IN WHICH COUNTRY AND WHEN WAS PAPER BILL FIRST USED

 

Which country was the first to use paper bills? 

Paper bills were first used by the Chinese, who began collecting money during the Tang dynasty (618–907) – mostly in the form of privately issued bills of credit or notes of exchange – and the practice Used it for more than 500 years before. It began to take hold in Europe in the 17th century. While it took a century or two for paper money to spread to the rest of the world, China was already going through a fairly advanced financial crisis: production of paper notes increased until their value decreased. which led to an increase in inflation. As a result, China abolished paper currency in 1455 and would not adopt it again for several hundred years. Another not-so-known fact: The word cash was originally used in the Tang dynasty to describe the type of round bronze coins with square holes commonly used, called kai-yuan.

When were paper bills first used? 

Paper currency in the United States dates back to 1690 and represents bills of credit or IOUs. The U.S. in 1861 to help finance the Civil War. New currencies were introduced in In 1996, a series of bills were introduced that used new methods to prevent counterfeiting.

HOW TO MADE COTTON


Fiber is almost pure cellulose. Under natural conditions, cotton balls will increase seed dispersal.The plant is native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including the Americas, Africa, Egypt, and India. The greatest diversity of wild cotton species is found in Mexico, followed by Australia and Africa. Cotton was domesticated independently in the Old and New Worlds.The fiber is often spun into yarn or thread and the use of cotton for fabric has been known since prehistoric times; Fragments of cotton fabric dating back to the fifth millennium BC have been found in the Indus Valley Civilization, as well as fabric remains dating back to 6000 BC in Peru. Although cultivated since ancient times, it was the invention of the cotton gin that lowered the cost of production that led to its widespread use, and it is the most widely used natural fiber fabric in clothing today.The current estimate of world production is about 25 million tonnes or 110 million bales annually, which is 2.5% of the world's arable land. India is the largest producer of cotton in the world. The United States has been the largest exporter for many years. In the United States, cotton is usually measured in bales, which measure about 0.48 cubic meters (17 cu ft) and weigh 226.8 kilograms (500 lb).

THE FIRST TOOTHBRUSH IN THE WORLD

1780. William Addis of England invented the first mass-produced toothbrush. While in prison, he made small holes in the bone of cattle, tied pig fibers (from wild boars) into bunches, passed them through the holes and then glued them

The toothbrush as we know it today was not invented until 1938. However, the earliest forms of toothbrushes have been in existence since 3000 BC. Ancient civilizations used a "chewing stick", which was a thin twig with a friable end. These 'chewing sticks' were rubbed with the teeth. The bristled toothbrush, similar to the type used today, was not invented in China until 1498. The bristles were actually stiff, coarse hairs taken from the back of a hog's neck and attached to handles made of bone or bamboo. Boar bristles were used until 1938 when nylon bristles were introduced by DuPont de Nemours. The first nylon toothbrush was called Doctor West's Miracle Toothbrush. Later, Americans were impressed by the disciplined hygiene habits of World War II soldiers. They became more concerned with practicing good oral hygiene and quickly adopted nylon toothbrushes.

WHAT IS AIRGEL

Airgel is a synthetic porous ultralight material derived from a gel, in which the liquid component for the gel has been replaced by a gas without significant collapse of the gel structure. The result is a solid with extremely low density and extremely low thermal conductivity. its translucent nature and the way in which light is scattered in the material,

 
 
Nicknames due to him include frozen smoke, solid smoke, solid wind, solid cloud and blue smoke. Silica aerogels feel like delicate expanded polystyrene to the touch, while some polymer-based aerogels feel like rigid foam. Aerogels can be made from a variety of chemical compounds. Airgel was first created by Samuel Stephens Kistler in 1931, as a result of a bet with Charles Lerne that could replace the liquid in "jelly" with a gas without compressing it. Aerogels are produced by extracting the liquid component of the gel through supercritical drying or freeze-drying. This allows the liquid to dry slowly, causing the solid matrix in the gel to collapse by capillary action, as is the case with conventional evaporation. First aerogels can be made from silica, carbon, metal oxidation etc. Kistler's later work included aerogels based on alumina, chromia and tin dioxide.

They have the following features-
1. It acts as a very good thermal insulator.
2. Being hygroscopic, it protects against the effects of water.
3. It is very strong for the weight.
4. Works as a very good adsorbent.

Carbon aerogels were first developed in the late 1980s.Due to these properties of aerogel, it is used in many places like paints, cosmetics, insulators etc.

TURTLES LIVE LIKE FRIENDS IN THIS COUNTRY

 
 
The Sulcata tortoise, also known as the African spard or African spur thigh tortoise, is one of the most common tortoises kept as pets. Hatching is 1.5-2in in length, but under proper conditions, they can gain 5-10in per year. Large adults can reach over 100in.

A Japanese man and his giant African tortoise have become used to head-turning when they go on a walk in Tokyo. Hisao Mitani, 68, says he has been taking his pet Bon-chan on daily walks for years.Mitani has the tortoise that his wife got from a pet shop for almost 25 years. But recently he became an internet sensation when pictures of the two roaming around the city of Tokyo went viral.Mitani, owner of the funeral parlor, says that the sweet-natured turtle has also helped in the business. He says that when the grieving family visits his store, he looks at Bon-chan and smiles. Bon-chan, who regularly consumes vegetables and fruits, including apples, weighs about 154 pounds, Mitani said. He hopes that the tortoise will grow even bigger.Mitani, who has no children, says that Bon-chan will probably keep him and his wife alive. He wants someone in his neighborhood to eventually adopt the turtle.

200 DIFFERENT VIRUSES THAT CAUSE THE COMMON COLD

More than 200 different viruses are known to cause the symptoms of the common cold. An estimated 30-35% of all adult colds are caused by rhinoviruses. In people with asthma, particularly children, rhinovirus infections are also frequently associated with flare-ups.


The cold is a common infection of the upper respiratory tract. Although many people think you can catch a cold by not dressing warmly enough in the winter and being exposed to chilly weather, it's a myth. The real culprit is one of more than 200 viruses.The common cold is spread when you inhale virus particles from an infected person's sneeze, cough, speech, or loose particles from when they wipe their nose. You can also pick up the virus by touching a contaminated surface that an infected individual has touched. Common areas include doorknobs, telephones, children's toys, and towels. Rhinoviruses (which cause the most colds) can live for up to three hours on hard surfaces and hands.Some other common cold culprits have been singled out, such as the respiratory syncytial virus. Still, others have yet to be identified by modern science.In the United States, colds are more common in the fall and winter. This is mostly due to factors such as the start of the school year and the tendency for people to remain indoors. Inside, air tends to be drier. Dry air dries up the nasal passages, which can lead to infection. Humidity levels also tend to be lower in colder weather. Cold viruses are better able to survive in low humidity conditions.

BABIES HEARING


  
A baby could hear your voice and other sounds from about 23 weeks of pregnancy.
 
Around week 6 of pregnancy, even though your little embryo is still smaller than a pea, the cells inside her developing head are already beginning to arrange themselves into unique tissues that will eventually be her brain, face, eyes, ears, and nose. By week 9, small indents will appear on the sides of your baby's neck — although they're not in their final location yet, they will gradually move up and become tiny, curled up, cute-as-a-button ears that you'll gawk over when your baby is born. Throughout your first and second trimester, your baby's ears continue to develop: The inner ear connects with neurons in the brain responsible for processing sounds, and the miniscule bones of the middle ear (which sense the vibration of sound waves) form. Around week 16 of pregnancy, it's likely that these structures are well-established enough for your baby to start detecting some limited noises. Some of these are sounds that you might not even notice yourself — the gurgle of your stomach and whoosh of air in and out of your lungs. Over the next few weeks though, your baby will hear more and more of the outside world. By week 24, babies have been shown to turn their heads in response to voices and noises.

KNOW HOW MANY METEORITES HIT THE EARTH EVERY YEAR

 

 Over 500 meteorites hit the Earth each year 

To date, there have been nearly 1,100 recovered falls (meteorites seen to fall) and nearly 40,000 finds (found, but not seen to fall). It is estimated that probably 500 meteorites reach the surface of the Earth each year, but less than 10 are recovered. This is because most fall into the ocean, land in remote areas of the Earth, land in places that are not easily accessible or are just not seen to fall (fall during the day). From a model animation, it appears that lots of small asteroids/large meteoroids pass close to the Earth each day. Most of these are not detected, but recently, three 5–10 meter "asteroids" have been discovered and have passed well within the orbit of the Moon. Also recently, an asteroid about 500 meters in diameter passed about 2 million km from the Earth (five times the distance to the Moon). It is estimated that each day one or two 5–10 meter objects pass within the Moon's orbit and that there are probably 30 million near-Earth objects! Most of these are too small to ever cause any damage. Five to ten meters is probably the smallest object that would likely survive passage through the Earth's atmosphere.

THE SVALBARD GLOBAL SEED VAULT WORLD COLDEST BANK

Bill Gates and other investors have secured a 'doomsday seed vault' to preserve a wide variety of plant seeds in the remote Arctic Svalbard archipelago.The Svalbard Global Seed Vault (Norwegian: Svalbard globale frøhvelv) is a secure backup facility for the world's crop diversity on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen in the remote Arctic Svalbard archipelago.The Seed Vault provides long-term storage of duplicates of seeds conserved in genebanks around the world. This provides security of the world’s food supply against the loss of seeds in genebanks due to mismanagement, accident, equipment failures, funding cuts, and natural disasters. The Seed Vault is managed under terms spelled out in a tripartite agreement among the Norwegian Government, the Crop Trust, and the Nordic Genetic Resource Center (NordGen). The Norwegian government entirely funded the Seed Vault's approximately 45 million kr (US$8.8 million in 2008) construction cost.Norway and the Crop Trust pay for operational costs. Storing seeds in the vault is free to depositors.

BARIN ANATOMY

 

The brain is an amazing three-pound organ that controls all functions of the body, interprets information from the outside world, and embodies the essence of the mind and soul. Intelligence, creativity, emotion, and memory are a few of the many things governed by the brain. Protected within the skull, the brain is composed of the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem. The brain receives information through our five senses: sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing - often many at one time. It assembles the messages in a way that has meaning for us, and can store that information in our memory. The brain controls our thoughts, memory and speech, movement of the arms and legs, and the function of many organs within our body. The central nervous system (CNS) is composed of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is composed of spinal nerves that branch from the spinal cord and cranial nerves that branch from the brain.
