Dolphins Have ''Names''

2021-10-08T03:30:00.002-07:00

Dolphins have names for each other and can call out for each other specifically.

Past studies have shown that individual dolphins have a unique whistle, called a "signature whistle," that they often use in big group settings, like when several pods of dolphins meet at sea. The idea that dolphins have a name in the form of a whistle has been around since the 1960s, and studies of captive dolphins have shown that the animals are responsive to the whistles of dolphins they know.

But a new study takes the theory a step further by asserting that a dolphin will respond when it hears the sound of its own signature whistle, repeating that whistle back in a way that seems to say, "Yup, I'm here—did you call my name?" explained Whitney Friedman, a dolphin-behavior expert at the University of California, San Diego.

It's "compelling evidence" that the dolphin indeed uses the sound as a name, according to the study, published July 22 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The research was performed by a group of scientists on a boat off eastern Scotland who joined up with a group of wild dolphins. When one of the dolphins announced itself with its signature whistle—the equivalent of "Joey!" for instance—the researchers recorded that sound.

Later, the team played that same "Joey!" call back to the dolphins, and a significant portion of the time, the dolphin they called Joey responded with the same call—as if Joey was saying, "Yup, I'm here."

Amazing Human Brain

2021-10-07T17:30:00.002-07:00

Brain Capacity

The human brain has enough memory to hold three million hours of television.

If each neuron in the brain could only help store a single memory, running out of space would be a problem. You might have only a few gigabytes of storage space, similar to space in an iPod or a USB flash drive. Yet neurons combine so that each one helps with many memories at a time, exponentially increasing the brain's memory storage capacity to something closer to around 2.5 petabytes (or a million gigabytes).

For comparison, if your brain worked like a digital video recorder in a television, 2.5 petabytes would be enough to hold three million hours of TV shows. You would have to leave the TV running continuously for more than 300 years to use up all that storage.

The Second Brain

The brain in your head is not your only brain. There is a 'second brain' in your intestines that contains 100 million neurons.

Ever wonder why you get cramps when you're stressed? Or why you get "butterflies" in your stomach before a job interview? And why your gut tells you not to trust a certain person?

Scientists say it's because the body has two brains -- the familiar one encased in our skull and another more obscure one in our gut. This "second brain," known as the enteric nervous system, is located in our digestive tract and holds about 100-million nerve cells- more than in our spinal cord.

Less complex and smaller than our cranial brain, this "second brain," which contains between 70 to 85 percent of the body's immune cells, is an independent data-processing center handling a complicated circuitry of neurons, neuromodulators, and neurotransmitters.

"Every neurotransmitter that exists in our brain also exists in the gut without exception. The brain in the gut is simply the brain gone south," says Dr. Michael Gershon, author of The Second Brain, and chairman of the department of anatomy and cell biology at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.

In 1899, anatomists and physiologists studying dogs found that, unlike any other reflex, the continuous push of material through the digestive system continued after nerves linking the brain to the intestines were severed. In other words, they discovered the gut had a mind of its own.

Operating like our brain and looking uncannily similar to it, the gut-brain responds to stimulus and is continuously active whether we're aware of it or not. But it doesn't think or feel. The feeling is held in the cerebral cortex of the brain. This "second brain" performs a different role.

"The brain in the head deals with the finer things in life: religion, philosophy, appreciation of art and music, creativity, etc.," says Dr. Gershon. "Whereas the brain in the gut deals with this dirty, messy and disgusting business of digestion. The brain in the head doesn't have to get its hands dirty with that kind of thing since it has delegated the job."

They may have different roles but our two brains are interconnected. One thousand to 2,000 nerve fibers connect them and enable the two to talk. When one gets upset, the other one does too.

Revolutions

2021-10-07T09:30:00.001-07:00

Commercial Revolution

The Trade Revolution was the enormous economic expansion, imperialism and commercialization that took place in Europe from the 13th century to the middle of the 18th century. Europeans explored other lands in search of spices, silk, and other commodities, leading to the Commercial Revolution. As a result, more than 1,450 European countries were discovered, and British, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish imperial power spread throughout the world. Merchant ships from powerful European states sailed around the world promoting trade and seeking their resources. This improved mindfulness, sea naval power, navigation, and so on. They sought to control the new countries as their colonies and to strengthen their economic power by mortgaging their resources as much as possible. This promoted not only international trade but also other related banking, insurance and other services. Strong and powerful economies were built in European countries. During this period many Asian, African, Latin American and American countries became colonies of Europe. Demand for natural resources increased.

Agricultural Revolution

The unprecedented growth of agricultural labor and land productivity in the western world, including Europe, between the mid - 17th and mid - 19th centuries is known as the Agricultural Revolution. During this period the yield increased more rapidly than the population. The greater use of technology in agriculture led to the introduction of improved seeds, livestock development, increased soil fertility, and the development of canals and irrigation, which led to the revival of agriculture.

During this period the crop rotation system was introduced. That is, when the same toy is grown continuously in a certain place, the soil becomes barren. Farmers were tempted to change the type of crop from time to time as it also spreads insect pests. The traditional plow was improved and the number of cattle and horses required for cultivation decreased rapidly. Cultivated land was developed and reclaimed on a large scale. Small farms became large-scale farms. Smallholders were forced to vacate their lands. The focus on large-scale agricultural production resulted in large-scale savings. The non-productive owners became wealthy. As labor productivity increased, the labor requirement in agriculture decreased significantly. As a result, small farming families living on farmland had to move to the cities in search of employment. After the arrival of the people, the Industrial Revolution began. Therefore, it is said that the cause of the Industrial Revolution was the Agricultural Revolution.

First Industrial Revolution

The First Industrial Revolution of 1760 - 1840 marked the unprecedented shift in Europe and the United States from traditional horse production methods to new production methods. There was a breakthrough in the mechanical factory system, including the development of mechanical machinery, the conversion to chemical production processes, the conversion to cattle production processes, the development of machine tools to use steam power and water power. Capital became the driving force of the economy , the agrarian economy became the industrial economy. Due to the agrarian revolution, six families came to the city from the countryside to work in factories. They were suffering from poverty and worked hard.

The textile industry that led to the Industrial Revolution and was most affected by the Industrial Revolution was P.O. The root seed of the Industrial Revolution was the weaving machine invented by Brita P, and the Industrial Revolution began with great nonsense. It was during this period that a technological breakthrough of British origin emerged and other European countries and the United States were affected. With the Industrial Revolution, new economies emerged and the living standards of the common people increased greatly.

Second Industrial Revolution

The Second Industrial Revolution of 1840 - 1914 (until the start of World War I) was the rise of industrial technology in European countries, including the United States and Britain. This is also known as the technological revolution. Expansion of railways, mass production of iron and steel, use of industrial machinery. The use of steam power, the use of the telegraph, the use of oil, and the invention of electricity all took place during this period. Modern organizational methods were used for large-scale business operations. It was also during this period that the product assembly line system, which led to a massive advancement in mass production, began. This is also known as the era in which the greatest number of inventions took place. Introduced technological systems such as telecommunications and rail networks, gas and water supply and sewerage systems. This was able to create an unprecedented mass awakening. More affluent and urban societies emerged.

Third Industrial Revolution

The Third Industrial Revolution was the process by which Western countries transitioned from pantry and analog electronics to digital technology during the 1950s and 1970s. Also known as the Digital revolution, this is the beginning of the Information Age. Traditional products and business methods were digitized and businesses moved to digital reporting.

In this age of computer technology, with the advent of mobile phones, the Internet, communication technology advanced and production went digital. Many new sectors added to the economy, such as robotics, software development, 30 technology, web-based services, and digital music recording.

Fourth Industrial Revolution

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is currently in progress. The integration of organic, physical, digital and biological field technologies takes place in this era. Modern technology is used in society as well as in the human body. New technological breakthroughs in a number of fields, including robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, quantum computer biotechnology, fully autonomous vehicles, 5th generation wireless technology (5G), 3D printing, neuroscience, genetically modified food crops, and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Are salient features. The biggest impact here is to improve the quality of human lives. Focus on reducing world population inequality, increasing income levels and improving the quality of the environment.

Woodpecker

2021-10-06T12:38:00.000-07:00

Woodpecker is one of the most interesting types of birds. There are over 200 species of woodpeckers that can be found all around the globe except in Australia, New Zealand and Madagascar. Woodpeckers live in forests, backyards and various other types of habitat where trees are available. Several species of woodpeckers are endangered or already extinct due to habitat loss and increased urbanization. Also, chemical pollution and usage of aggressive pesticides negatively affects survival of woodpeckers in the wild because it induces destruction of the eggs.

Interesting Woodpecker Facts

Woodpecker's tongue is so long that it wraps around the skull to protect the brain when it is on a tree or other hard surface.

This has been combined with other factors.

This is due to the strong neck muscles, the sponge in the skull that acts like a football helmet, the skeletal plates and a very small amount of cerebrospinal fluid around their brain.

All of these headaches help to stop the brain scratching.

Protects even with a force greater than 1000g.

Sri Lankan Elephants

2021-10-06T12:22:00.001-07:00

One of Sri Lanka’s key wildlife attraction, have been revered for centuries in Asia, playing an important role in the continent’s culture, religion and war. They are also play a critical role in maintaining the region’s forests. Asian elephants are the continent’s largest terrestrial mammals. They can reach 6.4m in length and 3m at the shoulder and weigh as much as 5 tones. There are three subspecies of Asian elephant – the Indian, Sumatran and Sri Lankan. The Indian has the widest range and accounts for the majority of the remaining elephants on the continent. The Sri Lankan is physically the largest of the subspecies, and also the darkest in color.

The Sri Lankan elephant population is now largely restricted to the dry zone in the north, east and southeast of Sri Lanka. Elephants are present in Udawalawe National Park, Yala National Park, Lunugamvehera National Park, Wilpattu National Park and Minneriya National Park but also live outside protected areas. It is estimated that Sri Lanka has the highest density of elephants in Asia. Human-elephant conflict is increasing due to conversion of elephant habitat to settlements and permanent cultivation.

Untold Stories Of World Famous Characters

2021-10-03T03:37:00.001-07:00

Adolf Hitler learned to be a priest

Hitler, the most violent ruler in world political history, was the dictator of Germany. There is no question about that. As a cruel leader. But today I do not intend to write about those things. About his invisible things.

You would be surprised to hear that he once learned to be a priest. Hitler’s mother became a religious woman. She sent her son to a religious school in Lombok, Austria, to fulfil her dream of becoming a priest. However, Adolf was expelled from school for smoking. Hitler’s father then enrolled him in a high school in Germany. One day, while having fun with friends, he tore up the school certificate and used it as toilet paper. Somehow the news reached the principal and he became very angry and punished Hitler and expelled him from the school. Hitler would never go to school again after this incident.

He was a prominent member of the church choir and also had a great love for art. Five years after his mother’s death, he survived by selling art notes. In 1907 he sent an application to the Vienna Academy of Aesthetics, but was denied the ability to draw. In 1908, his application to study architecture at the same institute was rejected. This rejection is unfortunate for the whole world as he turns to the military. These facts are surprising. In February 1914, Hitler was temporarily summoned to Austria to test his suitability for military service. But he is not chosen because he is considered weak and does not have the strength to bear arms. The second time, however, he realized that he had never been promoted to the rank of Lance Corporal in the army. Meanwhile, Hitler was a freelance journalist who was drawing cartoons for a newspaper printed by the Army.
Becoming a leader in Germany and sowing a dictatorship, he makes two ridiculous decisions. The Minister of War dismisses his wife because she was a former prostitute. The army chief is fired, accusing him of being gay. Newspapers at the time reported that he was fifty-six years old at the time of his death but looked eighty years old.

Abraham Lincoln, who grew a beard because of a little girl

The name Abraham Lincoln is second to none among the people who have played a great role in winning human rights throughout the history of the world. In 1865, the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution abolished slavery in the United States, making him the greatest American president to date. But here are some of the things we do not know about this great leader.

You would be surprised to hear the number of jobs the President has done. Having worked as a courier and postmaster, Lincoln’s next goal was to become a surveyor. At the same time, Abraham’s inclination towards law became another milestone in his life to become a lawyer with great dedication.
Lincoln receives a letter as he prepares for the first presidential election. It was written by a little girl named Grace Bedell. It noted that it was appropriate to grow a beard on Lincoln’s wrinkled elongated face, thereby winning the love of men. He also said that if you grow a beard, the two brothers who are not ready to vote for you will definitely like you. Humbled by this little girl’s request, Lincoln began to grow a beard from then on. Later I did not forget to send a thank you letter to the little girl. The letter received by Lincoln is still kept in Lincoln’s house.
He left with President Lincoln’s important documents in a high hat (one of the kind worn by magicians).

Stupid lazy boy who doesn’t know the world - Albert Einstein

Isn’t it true that today the word "Einstein" is used interchangeably with the word intelligence? To that extent Einstein is recognized in the world as an intellectual. He was a scientist who presented a large number of theories in physics, including relativity. But I do not write about them. About his unknowns.

Albert did not have the ability to speak as a child. His parents thought he was born deaf.
But three years later Albert started talking. He was unable to go to school for many years
But three years later Albert started talking. He was unable to go to school for many years

But three years later Albert started talking. He was unable to go to school for many years due to various ailments. Although he later went to school, he was considered by teachers to be a very weak student and less intelligent than other children. Always told little Albert, “Stupid lazy boy who doesn’t know the world. Learn to be human, ”the teachers said. From an early age, Einstein despised violence and war. At least he did not play the police or the army that little boys do. He was a man who always valued peace and socialism.

Einstein entered the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Switzerland to study. But he failed the entrance exam and could not make that dream come true.

He never put on socks and then put on shoes. It was customary to wear shoes without socks. He made jokes in any honourable assembly, regardless of anything. He is a childless and playful character. He smirked when he was photographed, and sometimes stretched out his tongue to create a silly face. You must have seen those photos of him.

Albert Einstein died of an internal haemorrhage and even refused surgery. He tells the doctor who insists on it. “I have to go when I need to. There is no point in living artificially. I have finished my part completely. There is nothing left to do. So I have to go now ”

Little Servant - Maxim Gorky

Gorky has been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature five times.

We have not heard of Alexei Maximovich Peshkov, but we have heard of Maxim Gorky. His first name is a name we have never heard of. Gorky’s mother, Pomagardev, who directed her writing against the Tsarist regime in Russia, was a hero who wrote socialist revolutionary books such as Childhood, Among Men, and My University. He always stood up for the suffering working people and therefore he was praised by the Soviet Union.
After the death of her parents, little Alexi, who was in the shadow of her grandmother, was only able to go to school until she was eight years old. Then I work as a child servant.
His childhood was very sad. Once in a house where Gorky was a slave, he broke the faucet and burned the boiler. The owner beats up little Gorky’s backside until a broom breaks. By the next day, Gorky’s back was swollen and he had to be hospitalized for several days with a high fever.
He works as a handyman in a shoe store, as a painter, and as a dishwasher on a boat on the Volga. He once stated that I did not have a childhood.

Street thug - Vladimir Putin

Russian KGB spy.

Almost no one knows about Putin, the Russian leader who can side with the capitalist countries. But he was a violent student who did not excel in his childhood education. Little Putin, nicknamed "Volodymyr" by his childhood friends, once attacked two drunken men on the street without any sympathy.
He started playing boxing at the age of 10. He breaks his nose and engages in an unarmed self - defence game called Sambo. He later joined the judo sport. Putin, who has been dreaming of joining the Russian intelligence service since he was a child, entered the country with a degree. But he gets things he didn’t expect, like cutting and pasting newspaper reports and listening to phone calls.

As a child, he became addicted to the Russian detective series "The Field and the Sword" at the age of 15. When he became Russia’s prime minister 43 years later, he welcomed with him 11 Russian spies who had been expelled from the United States. Singing the theme song of the series.

We know the biographies of the greats of the world largely only from their brilliant work zones. But their other life details do not come to the fore. So in this article I hope to write some of their unread stories for you. So these are the unread stories of the world’s most powerful characters.

Inflation Rates

2021-10-02T23:28:00.000-07:00

Creeping Inflation (Moderate Inflation)

Inflation is long-term moderate to moderately inflationary. This type of inflation, in which prices rise slowly, remains single digit. That is less than 102 per cent inflation. In such a situation, there will be no severe depressing consequences for the economy.

For example, this has been the case in Sri Lanka since 2008.

Galloping Inflation

Galloping inflation is a state of low-speed inflation. A situation where the annual inflation rate is in the range of two or three digits.

E.g. 1. after the social transformation in Russia, such inflation was seen.

2. Similar situations have arisen in Latin American countries, such as Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina, and Nicaragua.

Hyperinflation

Pollution is a condition in which the general price level rises at an alarming rate. Here the inflation rate is four or more digits. Sometimes the rate of inflation can be in the millions of percent. Here the monthly inflation is as high as 50%. The main reason for the defilement is the rapid expansion of the money supply. Pollution has often been caused by the government printing banknotes to cover war expenses. In a nuclear war, the value of the currency can be very low and the currency can be devalued and transformed into a system of handing over the economy.

E.g. 1. Hyperinflation in Venezuela since 2016. (2016 - Inflation to date 53,798.500%)

2. Hyperinflation in Zimbabwe during the reign of Robert Mugabe (2004 - 2009) (In 2000, 231,000 000%)

3. The post-World War (1920-23 period) Hyperinflation in Germany (where the price index rose from 1 to 10,000,000,000).

Suppressed Inflation

Suppressed inflation is a potential inflation that has been suppressed by the government and has not been allowed to break down.
Price controls, rations, minimum wages to control the rapid rise in prices of goods and services. The situation where the government intervenes and controls real inflation by using measures such as the suppression of black market is due to the intervention of the government, which is lower than the prevailing price level in the economy according to market forces.

E.g. 1. Internal Operations that activated the Sri Lankan economy during the period 1970-77 This was the situation in the closed economic policy.

2. Germany strictly controlled prices during the post-World War II period due to the lessons learned from the unholy views faced after the First World War.

Spiral inflation

The average price level rises in a spiral. This happens for two main reasons.

· In inflation, rising consumer prices lead to lower consumer power. Then, with the intervention of the unions, wages increase. At the same time, rising commodity costs and rising aggregate demand coincide with rising commodity prices. This process occurs as the process continues. This is also known as the Wage Price Spiral.

· Business profits rise in inflation. Then the demand for the factor increases and the factor price increases. Accordingly, commodity prices increase and business revenue increases. If this continues to happen, a similar situation will arise.
