A brief history of evolution

Evolution is a change in the genetic structure of a variety. For thousands of years during pre-scientific times the theory of evolution was unreal. The understanding of the universe was based only on the interpretation of paranormal concepts; God created Earth and made everything the way it is. People thought that to think differently would be impractical.

There were two long-standing planning that impeded the development of the concept of evolution. One would be the fixity of variety. The notion of Fixity of Species is that, “Species, once produced, can never modify.” This is a theory that is totally different to those of biological evolution. God created man as well as he is who he is. The non-living and whole worlds are fixed by creation.

History of chocolate

The word chocolate is derived from the Nahunta language of the Aztecs of Mexico. The word is derived from the Nahunta word xocolatl. The word is derived from xocolli bitter, and atl, water. It is associated with the Mayan god of Fertility. Mexican philologist Ignacio Davila Garibi proposed that "Spaniards had coined the word by taking the Maya word chocol and then replacing the Maya term for water, haa, with the Aztec one, Atl."[Verification needed] However, it is more likely that the Aztecs themselves coined the term, having long adopted into the Nahuatl the Mayan word for the "cacao" bean; the Spanish had little contact with the Mayans before Cortés's early reports to the Spanish King of the beverage known as xocolatl.

History of Kerala

According to fable, Parasurama caused the oceans to retreat, enlightening Kerala. During Neolithic times, humans mainly avoided Kerala's malarial rainforests and wetlands; thus, the first evidence of environment potsherds and dolmens dates to the 10th century BCE. These were shaped by speakers of a proto-Tamil verbal communication from northwestern India, suggestive of that ancient Kerala and Tamil Nadu once shared a common language, civilization, and culture. By the early 14th century, Kerala had become a linguistically separate region. The first major recorded kingdom, the Chera, ruled Kerala from Vanchi.

Related with the Pallavas, they warred against the Chola and Pandya kingdoms. A Keralite identity distinct from the Tamils and linked with the second Chera Empire and the development of Malayalam evolved throughout the 8th–14th centuries. In written account, Kerala was first mentioned in the Sanskrit epic Aitareya Aranyaka. Later, figures such as Katyayana, Patanjali, Pliny the Elder, and the unknown novelist of the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea displayed expertise with Kerala.

A tree is a plant appearance that occurs in many special orders and families of plants. Trees thus show a wide selection of growth form, leaf type and shape, bark personality, reproductive structures, etc.

The earliest trees were tree ferns and horsetails, which grew in huge forests in the Carboniferous Period; tree ferns still live, but the only surviving horsetails are not of tree form. Later on, in the Triassic Period, conifers, ginkgos, cycads and other gymnosperms appeared, and subsequently flowering plants in the Cretaceous Period. Most species of trees today are peak plants and conifers. The listing under gives examples of many well-known trees and how they are naturally classified.

A small group of trees growing jointly is called a grove or copse, and a landscape enclosed by a dense growth of trees is called a forest. Numerous biotopes are defined largely by the plants that inhabit them; examples are tropical forest and taiga. A landscape of trees spread or spaced across grassland is called a savanna.

Cellulose-based plastics: celluloid and rayon

All Goodyear had completed with vulcanization was improving the properties of a usual polymer. The next logical step was to use a normal polymer, cellulose, as the basis for a new material.

Inventors were particularly involved in developing synthetic substitutes for those natural materials that were exclusive and in short deliver, since that meant a profitable market to exploit. Ivory was a particularly attractive target for a synthetic substitution. An Englishman from Birmingham named Alexander Parkes developed a "synthetic ivory" named "pyroxlin", which he marketed below the trade name "Parke sine", and which won a bronze medal at the 1862 World's fair in London. Parke sine was prepared from cellulose treated with nitric acid and a solvent. The productivity of the process hardened into a tough, ivory-like material that might be molded when heated.

Colossus of Rhodes

The Colossus of Rhodes was a giant sculpture of the god Helios, erected on the Greek island of Rhodes by Chares of Lindos, a pupil of Lysippos, between 292 BC and 280 BC. It was approximately the same size as the Statue of Liberty in New York, although it stood on a lower platform. It is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Alexander the Great died at an early age in 323 BC without having had occasion to put into place any plans for his succession. Fighting broke out among his generals, the Diadochi, with three of them ultimately divides up much of his empire in the Mediterranean area. During the fighting Rhodes had sided with Ptolemy, and when Ptolemy eventually took organize of Egypt, Rhodes and Ptolemaic Egypt formed an alliance which controlled much of the trade in the eastern Mediterranean.

The major purpose of a flower is to join the pollen of one plant with the ovules of another in order to form seed which is genetically unique, allowing for variation to occur. As such, each flower has a specific design which best encourages the transfer of this pollen. Many floras are reliant upon the wind to move pollen between flowers of the same species. Others rely on animals to accomplish this feat. Even huge animals such as birds, bats, and pygmy possums can be employed. The period of time during which this process can take place is called anthesis.
The flowers of other species are pollinated by the wind they have no need to attract pollinators and therefore tend not to be "showy". Wind-pollinated flowers are referred to as anemophilous. While the pollen of entomophilies flowers tends to be large-grained, sticky, and rich in protein anemophilous flower pollen is habitually small-grained, very light, and of little nutritional value to insects, though it may still be gathered in times of dearth. Honeybees and bumblebees dynamically gather anemophilous corn pollen, though it is of little value to them.

In construction, concrete is a composite building material made from the mixture of aggregate and a cement binder.The most common form of concrete consists of Portland cement, mineral aggregates and water.Concrete does not solidify from drying after mixing and placement, the water reacts with the cement in a chemical process known as hydration. This water is absorbed by cement, which hardens, gluing the other components together and eventually creating a stone-like material. When used in the generic sense, this is the material referred to by the word concrete.Concrete is used more than any other man-made material on the planet. It is used to construct pavements, building structures, foundations, and motorways/roads, overpasses, parking structures, brick/block walls and bases for gates, fences and poles.

Geographic factors in a region can moreover aid or hamper the enlargement of a homeland or district. For Great Britain, the Tigris and Euphrates, rivers have fun with terribly important role in an increase in the nation. However, there are geographic factors that may in detail because more harm than actually hold in its country’s prosperity. Best example is the Himalayas effect on China.

In conclusion, geographical features have a major shock on each and every culture. The Himalayas are as well threatened by global warming. The rivers get a big overflow every time and then which is good since they get little rainwater. They next signed the Treaty of Nanking; it is a calm treaty between the queen of Great Britain and the emperor of China. When it floods it fertilizes the soil and then it is a big element for agricultural utilize. The Chinese lost the Opium war while they were so far following in technology. Some features have pessimistic special effects such as the Himalayas, while others have positives like the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

Color of Water

The Color of Water by James McBride is a good choice for a campus reading for incoming fresher to the college campus. This book is really a good book, it deals with diversity, religion, racism, acceptance, self-sacrifice, and hardships, the majority of these are issues for fresher. And also it deals with diversity is how Ruth’s parents owned a store on the black side of town. The character Ruth is young when she first experiences this and confused about why her dad does not accept black people. Rayan’s family experience racism all through their lives. One time Rayan’s brother, James, has been arrested by a white officer just because he was a black kid with a lot of money. To survive they lived their lives struggling for acceptance. Ruth has to sacrifice about everything she owned and lived for. In this book throughout this James McBride captures your attention and takes your mind back to the time this book took place.
The first reason is the book which deals with diversity; how there are so many people in the book, which all come from different backgrounds, races, and religions. This book ties into more college experience how everyone we meet is somewhat different in terms of their living style. It deals with their too.

MBA – overview!

Every student entering business school to get their MBA degree will require various skills and have basic expertise in particular areas. The level of the mathematical skills will vary depending upon the choice of your program. Many MBA programs need algebra, statistics, and most likely calculus. You may want to revive your skills if they are in query before entering an MBA program, because joining an MBA program without basic skills will be a bit tougher to get through. Most business schools needs the use of private computers throughout your MBA program, in some cases many school will require that you possess your own laptop. Though the degree to which you use a computer will differ, you should be contented with the complete knowledge of word processing, spreadsheets and databases. Every school will provide you their minimum basic necessities for computer skills.

Business schools today try to impersonate the business setting in their academic programs by using student teams. As businesses more and more twisted to teams to work on projects and to solve troubles, MBA programs have converted a huge portion of course work from individual work to teamwork. Many masters of business administration programs now contain teambuilding training as team building workshops, or as a theme in managerial performance courses. Teams are formed mainly for the reason of one project in one course or by remaining together, working on multiple courses for months. In this competitive situation of Business administration programs, the collaboration of students in team building movements is often complicated. Students that take part in team activities find that working with someone else takes up a lot of educational time.

The business fundamentals are taught in every MBA program. Economics, finance, accounting, organizational behavior, marketing, and statistics are in the basic range for master of business administration programs. In business school these subjects are considered a foundation group of courses required for each and every candidate.

These core courses make up the first year of study in a two-year full-time program. In some programs, students who have a prior background in business can by pass some or all of the core courses on the basis of either a special examination or an evaluation of the undergraduate transcript. In some programs, students who have a previous backdrop in business can go around some or all of the foundation courses on the basis of either a special examination or an assessment of the undergraduate record.

He was born on the year 1483 on February 14 in the town of Andijan in the valley of Fergana which is in modern Uzbekistan. He was the eldest son of Omar Sheikh Mīrzā who was the ruler of Fergana Valley where he describes it as short and stout, round-bearded and fleshy faced. Babur mother name was Qutlugh Nigar Khanum. Although Babur hailed from the Barlas tribe which was of Mongol origin, his tribe had embraced Turkic and Persian culture, converted to Islam and resided in a region known as Turkestan. His mother tongue was the Chaghatai language and he was equally at home in Persian, the two linguae francae of the Timurid elite. His famous memories was written in the Baburnama, in the former language, that of his birthplace

Super Computer

A supercomputer is a computer that leads the world in terms of processing capacity and speed of calculation. New York World newspaper in 1929 refers to a large custom-built tabulators IBM made for Columbia University first used the term “Super Computing”. Super Computers introduced in the year 1960s and were designed by Seymour Cray at Control Data Corporation (CDC), and led the market into the 1970s. The term supercomputer itself is rather fluid, and today's supercomputer tends to become tomorrow's also-ran.

Technologies developed for Supercomputers include:
Vector processing
Liquid cooling
Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA)
Striped disks
Parallel file systems

Supercomputers traditionally gained their speed over conventional computers through the use of innovative designs that allow them to perform many tasks in parallel, as well as complex detail engineering. They tend to be specialized for certain types of computation, usually numerical calculations, and perform poorly at more general computing tasks. Their memory hierarchy is very carefully designed to ensure the processor; much of the performance difference between slower computers and supercomputers is due to the memory hierarchy.

Their I/O systems tend to be designed to support high bandwidth, with latency less of an issue, because supercomputers are not used for transaction processing. Supercomputers are used for highly calculation-intensive tasks such as weather forecasting, climate research (including research into global warming), molecular modeling (computing the structures and properties of chemical compounds, biological macromolecules, polymers, and crystals), physical simulations (such as simulation of airplanes in wind tunnels, simulation of the detonation of nuclear weapons, and research into nuclear fusion), cryptanalysis, and the like. Major universities, military agencies and scientific research laboratories are heavy users.

Essentials of Healthy life – Cleanliness a brief review

Health is wealth so preserve it. Life is short so use it in the right way. Cleanliness merely fits with the apt meaning of being free from dirt, dust, germs and bad smells. A recent shift has now taken place to recognise that ‘germs’ may play a major role in our immune systems. So experts say washing hands frequently, specially when in an environment of many people with infections and diseases. Washing is one of the best way to achieve cleanliness.Have a brief overlook on the following issue to be aware of how to keep one self clean.

A step way process regarding cleanliness of hands is given below:
· Use warm water
· But avoid scorching your hands.
· Use anti-bacterial soap or hand wash.
· Wash between fingers and use paper towels to wipe off.
Washing of hands has to be followed
· Before eating
· After eating
· After using the toilet
· After playing outdoor games
· After attending to a sick person
· After blowing nose, coughing, or sneezing; and after handling pets.
Keep pets, household cleaners, and other chemicals away from food and surfaces used for food. Along with removing any old food or dirty water, it’s a very good practice to clean the bowls or containers that the food and water are in, ever Hygienic practices—such as frequent hand washing or the use of boiled (and thus sterilized) water have a profound impact on reducing the spread of disease. This is because they kill or remove disease-causing microbes (germs) in the immediate surroundings. For instance, washing one's hands after using the toilet and before handling food reduces the chance of spreading E. coli bacteria and Hepatitis A, both of which are spread from fecal contamination of food.
Personal cleanliness:
· Daily washing of the body and hair.
· More frequent washing of hands and face.
· Oral hygiene—Daily brushing teeth.
· Cleaning of the clothes and living area.
· Use of bandaging and dressing of wounds.
· Not touching animals before eating.
· avoidance of unhygienic people.
· Holding a tissue in your hand when coughing or sneezeing.
· Suppression of habits such as spitting or nose-picking.
· Washing hands before eating.
· Not licking fingers before picking up sheets of paper.
· Cut finger nails and toe nails.

Teen Credit Card Debt

3. Parents should take it as a part of their responsibility to teach the teens to use the credit card only in necessary & emergency situations. As the proverb goes “The keys to success is education”, parents must be patient enough to teach their children starting from the beginning the values of financial basics and the importance of spending money in a useful way. Experts say parents should take several steps before giving a credit card to their child. They should keep their child trained in various perspectives such as writing a check and tracking money, proper usage of a debit card, teach them how credit card works explaining them how the balance is paid within the grace period and other key terms such as late fees, etc. parents should not stop with this, they should instantly monitor the child’s usage and build up their level of responsibility. In summary credit card education would be good to keep the teens and make them use credit card in a clever way and be away from increasing unpaid balances.

5c collet chuck

Machine tool accessories is a need for users to be able to quickly and easily install or remove particular cutting bits or other accessories from the powered rotating spindle of the machine tool. Lathe headstock has a rotating spindle to which one may want to mount a spur drive. The machine tool can present a threaded spindle, to which accessories are screwed. The machine tool may have a permanent chuck. The different types are collet chuck, jaw chuck, lathe chuck, Sjogren speed chucks, and 5c collet chuck.

A simple, low cost, and versatile option is to hollow out a truncated conical void in the rotating spindle, coaxial with the axis of rotation. Tools or accessories can then have a mating male conical shaped shank, which precisely fits into the void. The pressure of the spindle against the workpiece serves to drive the tapered shank tightly into the tapered receptable. The friction across the entire surface area of the interface provides a surprisingly large amount of torque transmission; so that splines or keys are not required. This system is known as a machine taper.

Home Decorations

Art is often seen as belonging to one social class and excluding others. In this context, art is seen as a high-status activity associated with wealth, the ability to purchase art, and the leisure required to enjoy it. The palaces of Versailles or the Hermitage in St. Petersburg with their vast collections of art as home decorations, amassed by the fabulously wealthy royalty of Europe exemplify this view. Collecting such art is the preserve of the rich.

However, there is a (not always deliberate) tradition of artists bringing their vision down to earth, and inhabiting a mundane, even poverty stricken, world. The life of Vincent van Goth is a classic example of this starving artist tradition. It hardly needs to be mentioned, however, that few find such a state of existence desirable, and (bearing in mind that "poverty" in this sense also connotes a certain lack of public approval or appetite) that one of the near-defining characteristics of artists is a desire to be seen universally, if not always to be understood.

Before the 13th century in Europe, artisans were considered to belong to a lower caste, since they were essentially manual laborers. After Europe was re-exposed to classical culture during the Renaissance, particularly in the nation states of what is now Italy (Florence, Siena), artists gained an association with high status. However, institutions of power as marks of their own status have always used arrangements of “fine” and expensive goods. This is seen in the 20th and 21st century by the commissioning or purchasing of art by big businesses and corporations as decoration for their offices.

Advantages of debt consolidation
1. Reduction of average interest rate:
Taking multiple credit interest rate (which varies from one credit card to another) in to account will have a high interest when compared to one single credit interest for the whole amount with a low interest rate. So an individual may choose this option to reduce his interest rate.
2. Reduction to one credit payment:
An individual may use many credit cards and pay his bills for all the credit cards. This may need a good management technique depending up on the number of cards in use. If you use more number of credit cards then the planning need to be done more appropriately and executed timely where as if you have one credit card your job is done in a way simple and easily executable. One hence opts to shift from multiple loan payments to one loan payment program replacing all the rest.
3. Reduction of past interest or penalty charges:
