LEARN FROM JAPAN
1. Japanese people wear masks when they travel or come out. Usually we see 60% wearing masks daily on normal days. Even they catch very little cold they wear masks. This was their culture which helped in stopping the spread and cuts the chain.
Normally any public facing person like receptionist, govt officers, doctors, nurses,station masters, train staff,police, janitors, etc wear masks daily at work. During winter we make children to wear a mask Daily so that they dont bother others when they catch cold. At home we have kodomo mask box and normal mask box. Kodomo mask is for children which fits them properly.
2. Japanese people lead a life where they dont bother others. They dont litter anything. They use dustbins only to litter or spit. Cleanliness is the part of their culture. They were taught how to be clean and public behaviour before learning alphabets in schools.
3. They dont do handshake but bow to greet.
4. Here washing hands is a part of culture. We have soaps and sanitizers in public toilets , office entrances and usually in every public space. Using sanitizers is pretty common which prevented spread of virus. I never used the sanitizers but from past 2 months am following the usage of sanitizers before entering office, using an elevator, the moment i see sanitizer try using it.
5. In restrooms i noticed that people wash their hands and also clean and wipe the sink area too to make it comfortable for the next person to use it. This is a usual practice in public metro stations too.
6. They carry wet tissue packets to clean their hands occasionally when they go out.
7. They usually maintain social distance with all
This helped Japan to prevent lockdown. This needs a lot of Sadhana. These rules were part of Japanese culture which they practice with perfection. Something to learn from Japan.

Earth isn’t round
Don’t
worry – we’re not about to tell you that the Earth is flat, but did you know
that our planet is not perfectly round either? The Earth is actually a type of
a sphere called oblate spheroid. This means that the Earth is squashed at the
poles and bulges at the equator. Because of these irregularities, the distance
from the Earth's center to sea level is around 21 kilometers (or 13 miles)
greater at the equator than at the poles. While this difference cannot be seen
with a eye, it can be easily calculated
using artificial satellite techniques.
The
sphere-like shape of our planet is the result of the Earth’s rotation. As the
Earth spins on its axis, it produces a small equatorial bulge and slightly
flattened poles due to centrifugal force. This is why a vertical cross-section
through the Earth along the polar axis has the shape of an ellipse, whereas a
horizontal cross-section through the Earth along the equator has the shape of a
circle.

Gravity isn’t the same everywhere on Earth
If
the Earth was perfectly round or spherical and had uniform mass density, the
gravitational field would be the same at all points on its surface. But since
Earth is a flattened spheroid, gravity isn’t equally distributed and its
strength varies from place to place. Due to centrifugal forces produced by the
planet's rotation, gravity is at its weakest at the equator and the strongest
at higher altitudes further from the Earth's center.
This
means that you would weigh 0.5% more at the poles than at the equator, while
your weight would decrease by about 0.29% on the top of Mount Everest. The
gravity at the top of Mount Everest is actually 99.72% as strong as the gravity
at sea level, so if something weighed 1000 pounds at sea level, it would weigh
only 997.2 pounds at the top of Mount Everest. So if you ever feel bad about
your weight after devouring a whole pizza by yourself, just climb Mount Everest
– and don’t forget to bring the scales with you!
8.
Earth's magnetic poles will soon flip
The
switching of the poles sure sounds like a Doomsday scenario, but it’s actually
a perfectly normal occurrence that has already happened many times in Earth’s
history. Over the last 20 million years, the north and south magnetic poles
have been reversing every 200,000 to 300,000 years. Since the last swap took
place about 780,000 years ago, this means the next one is fast approaching.
According to the latest satellite data from the European Space Agency, the
magnetic field is already showing signs of shifting, but scientists still can’t
say exactly when the next pole reversal will take place.
When
it does happen, though, it could have serious consequences for life on Earth.
The Earth’s magnetic field is a giant shield that protects our planet from
harmful cosmic rays, and each time the poles switch places, this shield becomes
weaker. At the moment, the dangerous radiation from space is still not hitting
the surface of the Earth, but this could all change after the poles shift. Once
the magnetic field gets substantially weaker and stays that way for an extended
period of time, the Earth will be exposed to higher levels of radiation, which
could eventually wipe out our entire power grid and lead to an increase in
diseases like cancer.

7. Earth
used to have two Moons
I
know what you’re thinking: not another conspiracy theory about Earth! But
believe it or not, our planet most likely used to have two Moons that collided
and merged into one astronomical body nearly 4.5 billion years ago. The two-moon
hypothesis, published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature in 2011,
provides an explanation for the noticeable differences between the Moon's two
hemispheres.
The
hemisphere facing the Earth is covered by low, lava-filled plains, whereas the
“dark side of the Moon” is made up of rugged, rocky highlands. Those highlands,
according to the two-moon hypothesis, are the remains of the smaller,
short-lived satellite that collided with the Moon as we now know it. Since the
two moons collided at subsonic speeds, there was no and the merging was almost
fluid. The two-moon hypothesis is yet to be experimentally proven, but upcoming
lunar missions will probably help

A
sea of plastic: Shocking images show how bottles, bags and rubbish are choking
our oceans
In
one photograph taken near Roatan, an island off the coast of Honduras, a diver
grimaces as he prepares to enter the water almost completely covered by waste.
Another, taken from below the waterline, shows plastic bottles, bags and other
rubbish on the surface blocking out sunlight. It is thought the rubbish was
washed into the sea from nearby Guatemala, carried on rivers swollen by the
recent rainy season flowing through towns and villages.
