vintage flying contraptions from the early 1900's. Many of these designs did
not work out, but some of them went on to make aviation history.

Two-part
documentary which deals with two of the deepest questions there are - what is
everything, and what is nothing?
In two epic,
surreal and mind-expanding films, PROFESSOR JIM AL-KHALILI searches for an
answer to these questions as he explores the true size and shape of the
universe and delves into the amazing science behind apparent nothingness.
The second
part, Nothing, explores science at the very limits of human perception, where
we now understand the deepest mysteries of the universe lie. Jim sets out to
answer one very simple question - what is nothing? His journey ends with
perhaps the most profound insight about reality that humanity has ever made.
Everything came from nothing. The quantum world of the super small shaped the
vast universe we inhabit today, and Jim can prove it.

Climate
change is the one of the most serious challenges facing our world today. The
planet is warming up faster than ever due to the amount of greenhouse gases
that are pumping into the atmosphere. Here we are trying to identify few Green
technologies that are used to control Global Warming by using the Carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere. Below given the few links from where we have
captured the Information.

MICHAEL
PORTILLO is in the Thai capital, Bangkok, midway through his rail tour of
Thailand. He learns how the late 19th-century King Rama V built a grand palace
and introduced railways to his country. He discovers the fine terminus
commissioned by the king and meets a historian and designer who shares family
roots with the present royal dynasty. Michael learns that King Rama V’s love of
steam engines was inspired by Queen Victoria.
At the
colossal new station under construction in the city, Michael hears how its four
levels and 24 platforms will transform Thailand’s transport infrastructure. He
circles the Grand Palace by tuk tuk, then boards the 21st-century skytrain for
a wonderful view of the city.
Michael
dines on the water in a floating market, where purchases are made from boat to
boat. Following in the footsteps of writers such as Joseph Conrad, Graham
Greene and John Le Carre, Michael checks into the Mandarin Oriental Hotel,
built just before his guide.

MELAKA,
MALAYSIA - Malaysian Food Tour!
Melaka (also
sometimes spelled Malacca) is a beautiful city in southern Malaysia,
significant in history, packed with delicious food, and again, like most of
Malaysia, a melting pot of cultures, peoples and foods.
Here’s what
we ate in this food tour of Melaka, Malaysia:
Kedai Kopi
Chung Wah - One of the foods you have to eat in Melaka is Hainanese chicken
rice balls. The rice is cooked with chicken broth like most chicken rice, but
instead of just a plate of rice, you get little fish ball shaped rice balls,
along with chicken. It’s an iconic dish, but it’s pretty delicious and makes a
wonderful breakfast.
Total price
- 29 MYR ($7.12)
Asam Pedas
Pak Man - Asam pedas is sour spicy, and you’ll find variations of it across
much of Southeast Asia, but Melaka is quite famous for it within Malaysia. We
went to Asam Pedas Pak Man, a stall set up within a local Malaysian food court.
I ordered a variety of different plates, each asam pedas but with a different
fish. All were spectacular. It looks extremely spicy, but it’s not actually all
that spicy, however it is extremely tasty and full of herbs and chilies and
flavor. Best Malaysian food dish of the day in Melaka for me.
Total price
- 75 MYR ($18.39)
Klebang
Original Coconut Shake - This was pretty ordinary for me, nothing spectacular,
but again it’s one of those things most people try in Melaka.
Total price
- 9.90 MYR ($2.43)
Ban Lee
Siang Satay Celup - Next up, satay celup, a unique Melaka style satay where you
choose your own skewers and boil them in the sauce right in the middle of your
table. For me honestly, satay celup is too sweet, but I have to admit it’s a
lot of fun to eat and cook, and very social.
Total price
- 34 MYR ($8.34)
Ikan Bakar
Haji Masu - Finally to end this Malaysian food tour in Melaka (Malacca), we
went to a seafood, ikan bakar (grilled fish) restaurant. There are quite a few
huge seafood restaurants in Melaka, but I wanted one that was kind of small and
laid back. Ikan Bakar Haji Masu was fantastic, and I think the best thing was
their grilled fish.
Total price
- 99 MYR ($24.27)

George was
the largest nuclear explosion to date (a record that stood until the first
thermonuclear device test, Ivy Mike, 17 months later).
George was a
thermonuclear physics experiment, and used a purely experimental device design
unsuitable for use as a weapon. The test device, named the CYLINDER, consisted
of an enriched uranium core which was imploded using a unique cylindrical
implosion system. This device may have been the first to use external
initiation to begin the fission chain reaction. The Cylinder fission device may
have been based on a design by physicist George Gamow.

Why is there
something instead of nothing? In other words: Why does the universe exist (and
why are we in it)? Philosopher and writer Jim Holt follows this question toward
three possible answers. Or four. Or none.

‘Meet Aenigmachanna gollum, a 100 million-year-old fish that looks like a dragon and swims like an eel.
After remaining hidden for a hundred million years, the fish was discovered in the watery underground rocks of Kerala and has been named “Gollum”, after the dark and conflicted character of JRR Tolkien’s epic saga ‘Lord of the Rings’.
The Gollum belongs to an old family of fish, called dragon snakeheads, which retains its primitive characteristics after all these millennia. As per the researchers, it also survived the separation of India and Africa around 120 million years ago.
Interestingly, it is likely that the Gollum would have remained unknown for longer without the power of social media.
At the beginning of 2018, Rajeev Raghavan, a fish researcher at Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies and co-author of the present study, saw a post on social media of a curious fish that a person had found in a well in the backyard. He could not recognise the creature and emailed the picture to fellow researcher Ralf Britz, who couldn’t understand it either.
Raghavan and his colleagues started to collect more specimens of the fish for a scientific study that would bring Britz all the way to India. Then, in a flooded paddy field in Kochi, Britz would see the elusive fish rise to the surface late one night.
And so the Gollum was first identified as a new species and genus in May 2019 in a study published in Zootaxa.
