In 1565, the Persian army attacked the prosperous South Indian capital of Vijayanagar.But the hero of the battle was Gulam Ali, an elephant belongs to the Persian army. the clever pachyderm won the battle for his master by snatching up Rajab Ram, the enemy commander in his trunk and lifting him up into the air. He held the helpless and terrified warrior captive until his troop surrendered.

Google "BOMB"
As You all know "Google" is the world's most popular search engine.Searching in Google page is done by,working of an algorithm created by the Google establishers.Eventhough the Algorithm is kept most secretive its the most efficient available in the internet.
Google "BOMB" is referred to not as a "BOMB" but as a failure or miscalculation of the Google Algorithm.One of the first "Miserable Failure" Google bomb linked to George W. Bush's White House biography ie when you type "Miserable Failure" in the Google search page,you will be redirected to George Bush's White House Biography site. Although now its been cured,but the chances of "Bombing" remains there.

ZOO SEMIOTICS
Zoo semiotics means the study of the different ways in which animals communicate with each other animals have several different ways of communication and this communication affects the behavior of the other animals living around them. Zoo semiotics was founded by an American professor Thomas Sebeok in 1967.
Working of the Small Intestine
In the small intestine, proteins are changed into amino acids; fats are changed into fatty acids; and carbohydrates are changed into sugars. These products are soluble and can be absorbed into the bloodstream through the walls of the small intestine.
The main areas of the small intestine are the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. In humans, the small intestine, which measures from 22 to 25 feet (6.7 to 7.6 meters) long, is the longest part of the digestive tract.
Food remains in the small intestine for several hours. Digestion here is aided by secretions produced by the liver and pancreas, which are connected to the small intestine by ducts.
The pancreas is one of the most important glands in the body. It secretes pancreatic juice, which contains digestive enzymes such as trypsin, which helps digest protein foods; amylase and maltase, which break down carbohydrates; and lipase, which works with bile from the liver to digest fat. Bile is produced in the liver but stored in the gallbladder, a small hollow organ located just under the liver. Bile does not contain enzymes; rather, it consists chiefly of acids, salts, cholesterol, and other substances that work with lipase to break down fats.
The gallbladder, which is prone to numerous disorders, can be surgically removed without serious effect. The liver, however, is essential to life. It has many important functions, such as removing clotting factors for the blood. The liver is an important site of metabolism; proteins and fats are synthesized here, and sugars are converted to glycogen, which is then stored in the liver until it is needed for energy.
The walls of the hollow organs of the digestive tract—the esophagus, stomach, and small and …
As food is broken down in the small intestine it is further diluted by fluid secreted by glands in the intestinal wall. The lining of the small intestine contains many folds that expand its surface area, allowing increased contact between the wall and food products. The surface area is further increased by thousands of villi, microscopic fingerlike projections of the intestinal wall. Nutrients pass through the cell membranes of the villi and are taken into the blood and lymph, which carry them to the cells, where they are used for energy and growth.
By the time the diluted food products have traveled the length of the small intestine, most of their nutrients have been absorbed into the bloodstream. Some water is absorbed here, though most water is reabsorbed in the large intestine.

Liver
The liver lies near the heart and stomach. It is part of the digestive system and also performs …
The liver is the largest and heaviest organ within the body. It also has the most tasks to perform. Nestled in the upper abdomen behind the right lung, the liver seems to be a uniform blob of reddish-brown tissue, but it is the body's chief chemical factory, blood-purifying and tune-up station, poison detoxification center, and food storage and distribution center as well as a major gland in the digestive system . All vertebrates, or animals with backbones, have livers, and all livers perform alike, though they vary in size and shape. The Greek word for liver is hepar, and many things pertaining to the liver are called “hepatic.”
The human liver is divided into a large right lobe and a smaller left lobe that overhang the stomach and intestine. From the intestine the portal vein transports nutrient-rich blood into the liver through a slit called the porta hepatis (Latin for “door to the liver”). Also entering the portal is the hepatic artery, which carries fresh oxygenated blood to the liver so that it can do its work of processing the substances that arrive from the intestine. As much as 10 percent of all the blood in the body is present in the liver at any one time.
The interior of the liver contains thousands of tall, six-sided spaces called lobules. Inside the lobules are rows of liver cells that converge on a central vein running like a pole through the middle of a room. Branches of the portal vein and hepatic artery tunnel through the lobule walls and flow between the rows of liver cells, depositing their blood into channels called sinusoids. Here special scavenger cells trap and devour worn-out red blood cells, bacteria, and other debris. From the blood, the liver cells take up excess sugar, which is in the form of glucose, and convert it to glycogen for storage. Whenever blood sugar levels drop, glycogen is reconverted to glucose and added to the blood. If the liver uses up its full capacity to store glycogen, it converts glucose to fat for storage in fatty tissue. This fat is reconverted to glucose when glycogen stores are consumed.
Amino acids, the products of digested proteins, are also taken up; some are stored and some processed into new blood proteins. Vitamins and minerals—especially A, D, B12, and iron—are also stored in the liver and added to the blood as needed.
Reprocessed blood flows from the sinusoids to the central vein in the middle of the lobule. All the central veins connect with the hepatic veins, which transport the blood upward through the roof of the liver to a large vein that leads to the heart.The liver has yet another transport system to carry bile, a yellowish-greenish waste fluid made partly of cholesterol and old blood pigments. Bile contains products that can break down fat into small droplets. This feature is useful to the intestine as an aid in digestion. Cells of the liver secrete bile into tiny intercellular canals that link together to form bile ducts. The ducts merge into one large duct that leaves the liver by the porta hepatis. Outside the liver a branch leads to the gallbladder, a bile storage sac. Below this branch the duct, now called the common bile duct, enters the intestine.
Excess bile pigment in the blood colors the skin and eyeballs yellow, a condition known as jaundice. Causes include a high rate of red blood cell destruction and an obstructed bile duct. Hepatitis, inflammation of the lobules, results from viral or bacterial infection or from injury caused by larger quantities of harmful chemicals than the liver can detoxify. When liver tissue is damaged beyond regeneration, it is replaced by fat and connective tissue. This condition is called cirrhosis, and by far the most common cause is alcoholism. Cancer may also strike the liver. Prospects have improved for prolonging life through liver transplantation, but graft rejection remains a problem.

Work of the Large Intestine
The human large intestine is about 6 feet (2 meters) long. It includes the ascending colon, …
The large intestine is made up of the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, rectum, and anus. In the large intestine water is reabsorbed through the intestinal wall, converting the remaining waste into solids that are passed from the body as feces. The colon is populated by bacteria that digest any remaining food products. These bacteria also produce folic acid, which prevents anemia, and other vitamins.
Peristalsis moves digested material from the small intestine into the ascending colon through a sphincter muscle, which prevents their return into the small intestine. In the ascending colon, fluids and salts are absorbed. In the transverse colon more water is removed from the waste materials until they are in solid form.
The descending colon is a holding area for solid waste. When the body is ready to eliminate this material, it moves into the rectum, the last 5 to 6 inches (13 to 15 centimeters) of the descending colon. When enough waste material accumulates, it is eliminated through the anus—the open end of the rectum—as feces. A sphincter at the edge of the anus prevents fecal material from leaving the body involuntarily.
Peristalsis in the large intestine is much slower than in other parts of the digestive tract. The large intestine in humans is only about 6 feet (2 meters) long, yet waste material takes 10 to 20 hours to pass through it.

The Great Gandhi (1869-1948)
(1869–1948). Considered to be the father of modern India, Mahatma Gandhi was the leader of his country's independence movement. He led the Indian people in nonviolent protest against British rule when India was a colony of Great Britain. His efforts on behalf of Indians earned him the title Mahatma, meaning “great soul.”
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, India. He grew up in a religious home where he was influenced by two Indian religions—Hinduism and Jainism. Two of Jainism's central ideas are nonviolence and the belief that everything in the universe is eternal.
During his years at school, Mohandas was considered an average student. In 1887 he finished his studies at the University of Bombay. He then moved to England in September 1888 to study law in London.
In London Gandhi spent some of his time reading philosophy. He discovered the political theory of nonviolence in an essay called Civil Disobedience by U.S. writer Henry David Thoreau. This idea, coupled with the religious teachings of his childhood, shaped Gandhi's social and political thought. In 1891 Gandhi returned to India. His career as a lawyer in India, however, was not successful.
Gandhi went to South Africa in 1893. He had no intention of staying for long. However, the living conditions of Indians in the British colony of Natal changed his mind. He became actively involved in the affairs of Natal's Indian community. Gandhi succeeded in drawing the public's attention to the problems of Natal's Indians.
Gandhi remained loyal to the British Empire during South Africa's Boer War. At the outbreak of the war between the British and Dutch in 1899, he urged Indians to support the British. The British victory in 1902 brought little relief to the Indians in the Transvaal, a British colony. In 1906 the British in the Transvaal ordered the Indian population to register their names with the government. Under Gandhi's leadership, the Transvaal Indians defied the order. They willingly suffered the penalties of the British government. Thus was born Satyagraha, or “devotion to truth.” It was a new method of political protest. Satyagraha tried to correct injustices by accepting the attacks of political opponents. It also meant resisting an opponent without bitterness or violence.
Gandhi returned to India in early 1915. In February 1919 he protested against a law allowing the British to imprison Indians without trial. In response to the law, Gandhi called for a Satyagraha against the British rulers in India.
He ended the satyagraha after a crowd of Indians was attacked by British police. By the autumn of 1920, however, Gandhi was the leading political figure in India. Gandhi's followers boycotted British goods as well as British institutions in India, such as legislatures, courts, offices, and schools. This mass civil disobedience stunned the entire country. Gandhi was arrested on March 10, 1922. He was tried for treason and sentenced to prison for six years.
In 1930, in protest of a tax on salt, Gandhi led thousands of Indians on a 200-mile (320-kilometer) march to the sea to make their own salt. As a result, the British imprisoned more than 60,000 people. A year later, Gandhi accepted a truce and called off the civil disobedience movement.
With the outbreak of Worldwar2, the Indian nationalist struggle entered its last phase. Gandhi demanded immediate independence as India's price for aiding Britain in the war. He was imprisoned for the third time, from 1942 to 1944.
In 1947 India was granted independence from Britain. With independence, however, India's land was divided into two new countries: India and Pakistan. The new nation of India contained mostly Hindus while Pakistan contained a majority of Muslims. This geographical and religious separation was a great disappointment to Gandhi. Before and after India's division, the country was torn by clashes between Hindus and Muslims. During this period, Gandhi tried to end the conflict between the two groups of people. His efforts to restore peace were resented by people in both groups. On January 30, 1948, in the city of Delhi, Gandhi was shot and killed by a Hindu man.
Gandhi was one of the greatest political and social leaders in the 20th century. His use of nonviolent protest eventually led to his country's independence. Within his country, he supported the rights of both Hindus and Muslims. He also sought better treatment for the lowest members of Indian society.

Why plants are considered the earliest forms of life?
At first, there was no life on earth. Then, hundreds of millions of years ago, tiny specks of living matter appeared. These tiny specks were called protoplasm. Scientists tell us that the appearance of protoplasm marks the beginning of all plant and animal life. Some of these specks of protoplasm
Developed thick walls and stayed in one place. These became the first plants. Some developed a green colouring matter called chlorophyll.

SMALLEST FISH
In 2005 this fish were discovered in Indonesia that measured only 7.9mm.It’s name is ‘PAEDO CYPRIS PROGENETICA’ a member of the carp family.
Telepathy
The term telepathy was coined by Frederic W.H. Myers in 1822, from Greek words tele and Patheia.Tele means remote, Patheia means to be affected by Para psychologists argue that some instances of telepathy are real. Skeptics say that instances of what seems to be telepathy are explained as the result of fraud or self delusion.
MOBILE TV NETWORK
Wireless communication systems use devices called transmitters to generate radio waves. A microphone or other device converts sound and data into impulses. The transmitters change the impulses into radio signals that can be sent across great distances. Radio receivers pick up these signals and turn this into its original form. Wireless communication has become a part of our daily life. It is used in our radios, televisions, mobile phones, remote controls and security systems. Wireless communications are rapidly growing segment of communications and have mind boggling applications for the future.

HAIL STONE
A Hail Stone is not a stone at all but a small stone of ice. It start it's life from a thundercloud as a tiny ball of snow. The ball is tosed up and down in the cloud so often that it gets coated with layers of ice, like a layer of an onion. Eventually these ice skips , and come down to earth as a Hail Stone.
A MESENGER REMEMBERED
You have all heard about marathon race, in which the participant run across very long distance. The game was first held to honour the memory of ancient Greek soldier, who made a heroic long distance run just to communicate a message. It happened in B.C. 490. In that year Greece fought with Persia were miraculously defeated by the comparatively Greek army. A Greek soldier named Pheidippider was sent from Marathon to Athens to announce the victory. It is said that he ran the entire distance of 40km with out stopping, but moments after proclaiming his message to city he collapsed dead, from exhaustion.

Born To Rule.
An ancient civilisation that flourished in Mesopotamia which lies in modern day Iraq, practiced a strange rule to please the God During New Year or during troubled times, the people of Mesopotamia scarified their life of there king to satisfy their deities. In real fact, the actual king was given the day off, and a helpless commoner was sworn king for the day, just so he could be scarified. In 1861 B.C., Entail Bani was the king substitute. But incredibly just as he was about to hung, a breathless messenger arrived with news that the real king had died! Entail Bani was saved and subsequently, ruled Mesopotamia for twenty four years!

Giant Pandas
The giant pandas that live in the different parts of china are for the most part they are vegeterian.They eat mostly bamboo shoots. However,they may,very rarely eat small animals like mice. This may be because the bamboo forests are being destroyed, and with this destruction, their main food source is disappering.

Amazing Antartica
Antarctica is the coldest place on earth.It's
freezing air tends to be extremely dry because
very cold air holds only a small amount of
water vapour
Beneficial Effects of UV radiation
A positive effect of UVB exposure is that it induces the production of vitamin D, in the skin. It has been estimated that tens of thousands of premature deaths occur in the United States annually from a range of cancers due to vitamin D deficiency. Another effect of vitamin D deficiency is osteomalacia (the adult equivalent of rickets), which can result in bone pain, difficulty in weight bearing and sometimes fractures. Other studies show most people get adequate Vitamin D through food and incidental exposure.
Many countries have fortified certain foods with Vitamin D to prevent deficiency. Eating fortified foods or taking a dietary supplement pill is usually preferred to UVB exposure, due to the increased risk of skin cancer from UV radiation.
Ultraviolet radiation has other medical applications, in the treatment of skin conditions such as psoriasis and vitiligo. UVA radiation can be used in conjunction with psoralens (PUVA treatment). UVB radiation is rarely used in conjunction with psoralens. In cases of psoriasis and vitiligo, UV light with wavelength of 311 nm is most effective.

Ozone Deplection
Ozone depletion describes two distinct, but related observations: a slow, steady decline of about 4 percent per decade in the total amount of ozone in Earth's stratosphere since around 1980; and a much larger, but seasonal, decrease in stratospheric ozone over Earth's polar regions during the same period. The latter phenomenon is commonly referred to as the ozone hole.
In addition to this well-known stratospheric ozone depletion, there are also tropospheric ozone depletion events, which occur near the surface in polar regions during spring.
The detailed mechanism by which the polar ozone holes form is different from that for the mid-latitude thinning, but the most important process in both trends is catalytic destruction of ozone by atomic chlorine and bromine.[1] The main source of these halogen atoms in the stratosphere is photodissociation of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) compounds, commonly called freons, and of bromofluorocarbon compounds known as halons. These compounds are transported into the stratosphere after being emitted at the surface. Both ozone depletion mechanisms strengthened as emissions of CFCs and halons increased.
CFCs, halons and other contributory substances are commonly referred to as ozone-depleting substances (ODS). Since the ozone layer prevents most harmful UVB wavelengths (270–315 nm) of ultraviolet light (UV light) from passing through the Earth's atmosphere, observed and projected decreases in ozone have generated worldwide concern leading to adoption of the Montreal Protocol banning the production of CFCs and halons as well as related ozone depleting chemicals such as carbon tetrachloride and trichloroethane. It is suspected that a variety of biological consequences such as increases in skin cancer, damage to plants, and reduction of plankton populations in the ocean's photic zone may result from the increased UV exposure due to ozone depletion.

Global waming
The term "global warming" is a specific example of the broader termclimate change, which can also refer to global cooling. In common usage the term refers to recent warming and implies a human influence.[6] The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) uses the term "climate change" for human-caused change, and "climate variability" for other changes.[7] The term "anthropogenic global warming" is sometimes used when focusing on human-induced changes.
Earth's climate changes in response to external forcing, including variations in its orbit around the sun (orbital forcing),[8][9][10] volcanic eruptions, and atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. The detailed causes of the recent warming remain an active field of research, but the scientific consensus[11] identifies elevated levels of greenhouse gases due to human activity as the main influence. This attribution is clearest for the most recent 50 years, for which the most detailed data are available. In contrast to the scientific consensus that recent warming is mainly attributable to elevated levels of greenhouse gases, other hypotheses have been suggested to explain the observed increase in mean global temperature. One such hypothesis proposes that warming may be the result of variations in solar activity.[12][13][14][15]
None of the effects of forcing are instantaneous. The thermal inertia of the Earth's oceans and slow responses of other indirect effects mean that the Earth's current climate is not in equilibrium with the forcing imposed. Climate commitment studies indicate that even if greenhouse gases were stabilized at 2000 levels, a further warming of about 0.5 °C (0.9 °F) would still occur.[16]

RAINBOW
Series of concentric, coloured arc that may be see when light from a distant soure-usually the sun-falls on a collection of water droups such as in rain, spray or fog. The colered ray of the rain bow are caused by the refraction and total intanel raflection of light ray that enters the drop,each colour beeing bend through slightly different angle.Hence yhe different colours are spread upon emerging from the droup.The most brilliant and most common rainbow is the so-called rainbow,which results from light that emerges from the drop after one internal reflection.The colour of the arc (from outside to inside) red,orange,yellow,green,blue,indigo and violet. Occationaly a less-intese secotary bow may be observed;it has its colour sequence reversed.

Nuclear energy
Nuclear energy was first discovered accidentally by French physicist Henri Becquerel in 1896, when he found that photographic plates stored in the dark near uranium were blackened like X-ray plates, which had been just recently discovered at the time.[1]
Nuclear chemistry can be used as a form of alchemy to turn lead into gold or change any atom to any other atom (albeit through many steps).[2] Isotope production often involves irradiation of another isotope with alpha rays, beta rays, or gamma rays.
Iron has the highest binding energy per nucleon of any atom. If an atom of lower average binding energy is changed into an atom of higher average binding energy, energy is given off. The chart shows that fusion of hydrogen, the combination to form heavier atoms, releases energy, as does fission of uranium, the breaking up of a larger nucleus into smaller parts. Stability varies between isotopes: the isotope U235 is much less stable than the more common U238.

New Horizons from NASA
New Horizons is a NASA unmanned spacecraft designed to fly by Pluto and its moons (including Charon) and transmit images and data back to Earth. Mission planners hope that NASA will approve plans to continue the mission with a fly-by of a Kuiper Belt Object and return further data. A consortium of organizations, led by Southwest Research Institute and the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, has built the craft. The mission's principal investigator is S. Alan Stern of Southwest Research. The probe successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida at 14:00 EST January 19, 2006 and is now en route to Jupiter for a gravity assist.
The primary scientific objectives are to characterize the global geology and morphology and map the surface composition of Pluto and Charon, and study the neutral atmosphere of Pluto and its escape rate. Other objectives include studying time variability of Pluto's surface and atmosphere; imaging and mapping areas of Pluto and Charon at high-resolution; characterizing Pluto's upper atmosphere, ionosphere, and energetic particle environment; searching for an atmosphere around Charon; refining bulk parameters of Pluto and Charon; and searching for additional satellites and rings.

AMAZING ANTARTICA
Antartica is coldest place on earth. It's freezng air tends to be extermily dry because very cold air holds only a small amount of water vapour.
GREEN HOUSE EFFECT
Warming of Earth's surface and lover atmosphere that tends to intencify with an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide and certain other gases. Visible light from the sun,heat the Earth's surface. Part of energy is reradiated in the form of long -wave Infrared Rdiations, much of hich is aborded by molecules of crbon dioxide and water vapour in the atmosphere and reradiated back towards the surface as more heat.
This process is analogous to the glass panes of green house that transmit sun light but hold heat. the trapping of nfrared radiations causes the Earth's surface and love atmosphere to warm more than they otherwase would,making the surface haitable. the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide caused by widespread combustion of fossil fuels may intencify the greenhouse effect and cause long-term climtic change.
An increase in atmospheic concentractions of other trace gases such as chloroflurocarbon, nitrous oxide and methane may also aggravate green house condetions. It is estimatd that since the begening of ndustrial revolution the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide has incresed 30%, while the amount of methane has doubled. Today the U.S. is responsible for about one fifty of all human produced greenhouse gas emmission.

BALOON SELLER
There wasa man who made his lives with sellins baloons at a fair. he had baloons of so many colour like green, red, blue,black etc...Whenever business was slow,he would release a hydrogen balooninto the air.When the children saw the baloon go up,they all wanded one.They would come up to him,buy a baloon and his sales would go up. All day, he continued to release a baloon When ever the sales slowed down. One day, the baloon man felt someone tygging at his poket. he turned around and a little boy asked,"If you release a black baloon,would that also fly?" The man replied gently,"Son, it is not the colour of the baloon,it's what inside that make it go up.
PRIEST AND FARMER
A priest was driving,when he saw an exceptionally beautiful farm he stoped at the edge of the field,got out,and stood quietly,appreciating bountifulcrop. The farmer was riding on his tractor and saw the preist. Priest said to farmer,"God has bless you with a beautiful farm.You should be greatfull for it..Farmer replied that,"God has bless me with a beautiful farm.I'm be greatfull for it,but you should have seen this farm when god had the whole farm to himself."
DRONA AND ARJUNA
An ancient Indian sage named Dronacharya was teaching his disciples the art of archery. Heput a wooden bird at the target and asked his disciple to aim at the eye of the bird. The first disciple was asked what he saw. He said'"I saw the tree,the branch of the tree,the leaves,the sky, the bird and it's eye.The sage asked this discipleto wait.
Finally he called Arjuna what he was saw.Arjuna replied that he saw only the eye of the bird.Dronacharya was very happy of Arjuna's answer and he said to Arjuna that very good And then he can shoot.The arrow went stright to the eye of the bird and it hit the eye of the bird.

THE STORY OF PEPER
The origin of paper dates back to the early Egyptian Civilisations. TheEgyptian used the stalks of the Papyrus plant to the maufacture a material resembling paper.
Over the centuaries several changes have been made and many new materials used in paper making process, but the basic of most paper is still fiber of plant.

COMMUNICATION{bow-bow theory}
We all know that when a dog bark it goes'bow-bow. But how does that explain the orgi of langauge?
According to the bow-bow theory, langauge began as initation of the sound made by the animals andoter natural sounds. Thus the word 'moo'describes the noise of cow, while 'meow' sound just like a kitten cry and 'plop'sound just like a drop of water falling.
But this is only a theory and many people don't agree with it.

LITTLE BOY AND FAT MAN
Both the Littleboy and the Fatman are two important characters of the dark history of humanity.Littleboy was the nick name given to the uranium bomb dropedin Hirosima during second world war. Fatman was pseudonym bomb thrown in Nagasaky. Littleboy caused the death of 1,00,000 peoples and Fatman daimed 75,000 lives. The famous scientist Albert Einstein was the master brain behind the makig of Atomic Bomb. On 6th august 1945 America put atombomb in Hirosima and on 9th in Nagasaki.August 6th is commemorated as Hirosima day.
MAGNATIC FORCE
Attraction or repulsion that arises between electrically charged particles that are in motion. While only electric force exist among stationary electric charges, with both electric and magnetic force exist among moving electric charges.The magnetic force between two moving is the force exerted on one charge by a magnetic field created by other.This force is zero if the second charge is travelling in the direction of the magnetic field due to the first and is greatest i it travels at right angle to the magnetic field. Magnetic force is responsible for the action of electric motor and the attraction between magnet and iron.

FIRST FARMER
It is a story before 10,000 years. In that time human beings was living in forest. They ate uncooked foods.One day he ate fruits and throw it away to a muddy land. After a few days he saw leaves come from that seed. That's how our ancestors know that, plants can made from seeds
