Everything Nice Cake Making

Unbelievable but true, even though it only seems like a few weeks ago that you were cradling him in your arms for the first time, he is about to have his 1st birthday boy party. Remember the way he grasped your finger with the strength of a mighty man? Remember how you thought you would never take your eyes off him, not even for a minute, because he is the apple of your eye? And now look at him, attempting to do the wobbling walk and topple technique, and testing out a few words, if you can call them that. He’s well on his way to turning out to be an all round jolly good chap. You can hardly believe where the time has gone. Mind you, with a little guy like him around, with all his demands and needs, you’ve not had much time to sit down and twiddle your thumbs. When you are that busy, time really does fly. You want to mark the occasion with a baby’s birthday bash, and you want this 1st birthday boy party to go well, for the little chap himself as well as all his cute little friends, and their minders. Chances are it will end up a jelly throwing, temper tantrum fest for all, unless you organize it well. But where do you begin with the plans for such a momentous event?

The concentration span of a one year old child is not very long, so the main event at the 1st birthday boy party will probably be the food, apart, of course, from the gurgling communication between the little loves and eventually the crying and screaming, possibly from the grown ups. So, the table is expected to be the central point of the 1st birthday boy party, and it needs to be decorated in just the right way, brightly and colorfully to keep the little ones enthralled. With all the spillage and mess that is bound to occur as the little guys still struggle to remember where their mouths are, a plastic table cloth is possibly the most important item on your 1st birthday boy party list. With a bright red number 1 splashed across the middle, a 1st birthday boy party plastic tablecloth is both eye catching and practical, and if you purchase 2, you could cover the floor beneath the table too to catch all the messy drops of cake and jelly, crisps and drinks. Matching table accessories are a must for any discerning one year old 1st birthday boy party, and a set of 8 cups with a number one design, as well as a set of 8 funky square matching plates means that there will be no breakage of your own plates and, even more importantly, no washing up to do. After all, you’ll be on your hands and knees scrubbing the carpet for hours after all the little cherubs have gone home to their cots to dream about cakes. To wipe their little angel faces, there is also a matching set of 16 napkins. Presumably the extra 8 are for the parents and minders who will be indulging in a bit of 1st birthday boy party food too. Of course, before you get to the table decoration and adornment, you will need to invite your guests to the event of the year, so a set of matching invitations will bring them squealing with delight to your door. And to make sure that these small 1st birthday boy party guests turn up at the right venue, a lovely bright Happy Birthday Boy Banner, measuring 4.5 meters long, is big enough to stick across the front of the house exterior or in the 1st birthday boy party room to give it that special birthday party atmosphere.

Once the diminutive guests have arrived and eaten everything in sight, you will need something bright and colorful to keep them amused. To make this 1st birthday boy party one to remember, a Number 1 Pinata in lovely garish colors will capture their attention, and you can stuff it to the brim with yummy sweets. The little people will not believe their eyes when they see all those goodies just waiting to be nibbled. After all his little friends have left him all alone, a lovely touch to cheer him up is a 1st birthday boy party helium balloon with a huge number 1 on its front. He will be fascinated with this floating balloon, and will probably insist on taking it to bed with him. Just remember to tie it to something heavy in order to prevent it from floating up to the ceiling or you may find yourself woken at 3 in the morning by a very fractious one year old who can not reach its string.

Every family in the world has its own activities and traditions for the Christmas holidays. There are a lot of fun-filled activities in which family members can participate during the yuletide season. Such activities can help members bring closer, relate more to each other, break quarrels and feuds, and manifest the true meaning of Christmas. Most activities are way too old for the current generation, but the general idea of doing such activities lingers, which is to enjoy Christmas holidays together with the family.

One of the well-loved San Francisco fun activities for Christmas is baking. Here, you could share family stories and thoughts with your parents or sons or daughters while spending your time in the kitchen baking cookies, cakes and pies for the Christmas Eve. Another benefit of doing this fun activity is that secret recipes and techniques can be passed on from parent to child while having a great time in the kitchen.

By passing on secret recipes and baking techniques, it is assured that the traditional recipes and cooking methods of your family do not get lost in transition. You could take your time on recording special recipes and the interesting stories behind each, and then try to gather all of them into a cookbook for the entire family. If possible, try to include illustrations or photographs regarding the discovery of the recipe or the method, or how it is done by the family members.

Christmas carols are one of the founding traditions of Christmas and must not be left out on the list of San Francisco fun activities for Christmas. Even though carols might seem to be a little tiresome over those that are readily played on music players, singing Christmas songs together with the entire family on the living room is a fun way to spend hours left before Christmas Day. You could create a song book filled with all-time favorite Christmas carols and hymns. You could also go outdoors and sing for your neighbors along with your family. Singing for the neighborhood could give you and your family gifts and treats from the people in your community while enjoying the spirit of Christmas.

You could also try to make gingerbread men and houses together with your family. Stuff made out of gingerbread is not so difficult to make. You could make use of graham biscuits and frostings bought at stores, as well as different candies and sweets such as chocolate chips, peppermints and jellybeans. As a family, you could try and spend time building your “dream house”, along with miniaturized gingerbread men of each family member. The gingerbread house could serve as the centerpiece of the dinner table for Christmas or as a decoration under the Christmas tree.

Perhaps, the most important of all the San Francisco fun activities and traditions for Christmas is the trimming and decoration of the Christmas tree. You and your family can make your own Christmas tree, set it up in the living room, decorate it, and trim it up. While doing the activity, you could prepare some hot chocolate or tea and delicious treats for each family member. You could share stories while working out on the Christmas tree and make it memorable by topping it off with the star.

Tea Party gatherings have been carried through many generations in British tradition. It is a favorite past time of both women and children, men too were invited at times. These events were celebrated during the afternoons as a way for housewives to bond with other housewives as well. The children also participated by having miniature tea sets and dolls to play with.

The attendees go over the hosts’ home to have tea and coffee. Cake, sandwiches, biscuits and other pastries were also enjoyed as well. The highlight of the event was for the Madame’s to lavishly decorate their array of china and tapestry. The sugary concoctions were served with the most scrumptious cakes that were prepared by the host and stored for the afternoons’ event.

To date, these social gatherings have evolved and became greatly accepted not only in Europe but also in America and the rest of the world also. The preparation has also become more convenient with the vast improvement of storing and cooling technology. Meaning the food served doesn’t have to be made an hour earlier before the party starts to keep it fresh as process chillers are already available to keep food fresh longer. Pastry shops are the number one source of baked goods in these modern times as there aren’t really anymore housewives that stay home to prepare as much as in the olden times.

Process chiller refrigerants has been the backbone of most bakeshops as it is used to cool procedures involved in Chocolate cooking and confectionary making. Cake display areas also use the process cooling technology, wherein heat is removed and the temperature is lowered with the help of liquid cooling techniques. There are also many used chillers refrigerants which can be bought for household use. Such chillers can be used for wine, pastry display and deli storage. Although some might seem anxious about troubleshooting, there are many chiller maintenance services available in reputable chiller solution establishments.

With today’s options of food storage and selection, there is so much one can bring and serve at a tea party. So not only will there be a showcase of fine porcelain but also an addition of delectable cakes, cheese and pastry that have been kept fresh effortlessly by the hostess.

The truth is that there is a first time for everything so in answer to the question, “can anyone be an interior designer”? Yes you can with a caviat. That is that you must understand that the first time for anything is considered practice. In most lines of work and crafts, the first practice run is generally relegated to the scrap heap.

But you’ve been living in homes your entire life! Living right in the middle of what you’re about to undertake. So doesn’t that qualify you to some degree? The simple answer to that is yes it does, to some degree. About as much as the fact that you are the owner and driver of a motor vehicle qualifies you to be an automotive designer.

There are several problems that the novice tends to run up against in do it yourself interior design scenarios and the very first of these tends to be communication. They simply lack the required linguistic knowledge of techniques and materials to adequately communicate with materials suppliers and various workers.

So they do the best that they can by pointing at pictures and describing what they hope are applicable techniques that they may be familiar with but inevitably they come up short. Perhaps you can recall attempting to communicate with your mechanic when your car was in the shop? It’s basically the same thing.

Another problem that the novice tends to run into, beyond their limitations regarding communication, is their general lack of knowledge regarding the variety of materials. Perhaps they have seen something in a magazine that they like but they don’t have the slightest notion of what went into creating it. Just imagine trying to bake a cake if you didn’t know what flour and sugar were?

This particular holds true today when it comes to paints and painting techniques. The problem with painting is that the paint supplier down at your local hardware store can make it sound all to simple. Who can blame him? He wants to sell you some paint and then sell you some more when you have to go through and redo your project.

Modern residential decorative painting has evolved in some quarters to the level of becoming an art from. In fact specialist in the area of decorative painting are highly sought after not just for their work but for their knowledge as consultants on projects. Perhaps you may have already seen layering wall painting techniques that involve colors and textures that are applied in succession?

However; the worst limitation to the would be do it yourself interior designer, is a lack of knowledge as it relates to general building and finish carpentry techniques. Even if they have an idea what looks good, they are completely blocked out when it comes to things like crown and base moulding. It’s also the same thing when it comes to things like cabinets and counter tops.

Of course you can have crown moulding and cabinets installed in your project. However; in the end, due to your limitations when it comes to knowledge of materials, techniques, building framework etc., the finished results will be less than. Less than those that can be attained from a professional who’s completely familiar with all options and knows how to communicate them in “exacting detail” to those who are doing the actual work.

No house would be perfect without food in the cupboard or a spread on the table, and a dollhouse is no different. To actually create the impression of a tiny world, food is a prerequisite, and making small food precisely for the purpose of a dollhouse is a popular past time for many adults and children.

Now, you could have read that and had visions of making an attempt to fry a small portion of egg in a frying pan, but fear not. The concept is simply to create things that look like food, not essentially edible mini meals itself – even for the most dedicated dollhouse enthusiast that would be taking things a little far! Instead, making food for a dollhouse is no different a technique to making a chair or a rug. Cooking for a dollhouse gives the entire creation a new edge, and it needn’t be as hard as you may imagine.

The options for small dollhouse food are, quite simply, unending. If you have a particularly ornate and and historic dollhouse, perhaps even a traditional Victorian set up, then perhaps something like a tea and cake party is appropriate. Or perhaps you would like to add a fruit bowl to complete off the look of a dining suite, or maybe small tins to put in cupboards. The chances are endless; all you need is a little patience and a willingness to pass some time perfecting the look.

If you like a challenge, then the cake party scene is an ideal place to start. It also has the advantageous of never being officially finished; you can keep adding to it as your talents improve. The goal is to form little cakes to go on any china dishes you could have, that will show off the entire dollhouse to great effect.

This may be in the shape of an actual, full size item to work from ; this could give you an idea of the shape and look you are trying to recreate, even tho in a smaller size. If you have seen an extremely beautiful cake, you will find a picture and attempt to repeat it precisely – this is massively preferable to making an attempt to work from memory, as this is where errors can occur.

There are several reasons for polymer clays enduring role in making small food ; it is durable, easy to use, simple to find and purchase, simple to work with and it comes in a variety of colors. It is possible to construct a whole cake – including sponge base, icing and finishing touches – using nothing but polymer clay. It is from this most useful of materials that the majority of small food is formed, and for excellent reasons ; it also gives a very lifelike finish to whatever you make.

With a little time and patience, a good quantity of polymer clay and some real life inspiration to work from, soon miniature food fit for a king will be served.

And for brightening up your real table, use nora fleming decorative china dishes.

When you start gaining a few levels in Cafe World, you’ll probably start to see that it’s a lot easier to accumulate coins than levels in the game. Pretty soon, most players have piles of coins that they can’t really spend. It would be awesome if there was a way to convert those coins into Cafe Points (CP) so that you could level up faster, wouldn’t it? Well, guess what? There is! It’s a technique called power leveling and it’s pretty simple, although time-intensive, to do.

What you do is repeatedly prepare and then delete a dish on one of your stoves. Because each dish gives a certain amount of Cafe Points during preparation ( 3 “rounds” of a small amount), you’ll get CP without waiting for the dish to fully cook. All you do is prepare the dish, and then immediately delete it and start over. If you do it enough times, you’ll eventually get enough CP to level, having essentially converted your coins into Cafe Point.

Note that you only need to do this on one stove. There’s really no benefit to using multiple stoves to do this trick as it doesn’t save time. In fact, you’ll want to keep those other stoves busy with preparing dishes and earning more coins for you to keep on power leveling.

Certain dishes are much better suited to this technique than most others. What you want to look for is a high ratio of “preparation” Cafe Points to cost of the dish. Another factor, of course, is time. It takes about 20 seconds to prepare and delete a dish, and unless you want to be clicking all day, you want to pick a dish that doesn’t require very many preparations to get you the Cafe Points you need to level.

So which dishes are best? Well, there are a few choices at each level. Here’s some of my favorites for each level “group” starting with level 20, which is approximately the point at which you’re earning enough coins to spend them freely.

Levels 21-30: The average number of CP you need to level in this range is about 3,000. Your best recipe to use here is the Homestyle Pot Roast which brings in 60 CP per preparation. At this level range, you’ll need to do about 50 preps per level. On average, it will cost you 90,000 coins to get each level and take about 16 minutes to do it (each preparation cycle is about 20 seconds long). If you want a cheaper alternative, try using Voodoo Chicken Salad. It will only cost about 58,000 coins but takes about 28 minutes to level.

Levels 31-40: Here it takes an average of 5,500 CP for each level. The best recipe to use here is King Crab Bisque which will cost about 132,000 coins per level and takes 34 minutes on average to complete. Voodoo Chicken Salad remains the best cheap option. It will only cost about 107,000 coins per level, but you’ll need 51 minutes for each level.

Levels 41-50: The average CP to level in this range is 9,300. King Crab Bisque remains the most balanced option for power-leveling here, but it starts to lose some of its effectiveness. It will cost you an average of 260,000 coins per level and take about an hour. For a lot of players at this level, money is less of an issue. A more expensive option here is to go with Chicken Pot Pie. It will cut the time down to about 47 minutes but the cost is just under 500,000 coins. Spent too many coins on those cafe decorations? Good old Voodoo Chicken Salad remains a great option with less cost. You’ll need a solid 86 minutes on average, but it will only cost you about 180,000 coins per level.

Delicious…and a power leveler’s best friend.

Level 51-60: Here’s where your options start to open up a bit. The best power leveling recipe in the game is Delicious Chocolate Cake which becomes available at level 52. In this range, you need about 13,000 CP per level, and the cake will get you there in one hour with a cost of 235,000 coins per level. From level 50-52, go with Grand Tandoori Chicken, which costs quite a bit more but is nearly as fast. If you’re still watching coins carefully, King Crab Bisque works well until you hit level 52.

Level 61+

From here, it’s all about the Delicious Chocolate Cake. At the higher levels, it takes a whopping 30,000 Cafe Points to move to each new one. So, things do slow down a bit and cost more. Each new level will take roughly two hours and twenty minutes to power through and it will cost about 540,000 coins to get there. However, at this point in the game, you’re probably sitting on a huge pile of coins!

Some animals have a special, reflective surface right behind their retinas, called the tapeturn lucidum, which helps animals see better in the dark. When light enters the eye, it hits a photoreceptor that transmits the information to the brain. But sometimes light doesn’t hit the photoreceptor, so the tapetum lucidum acts as a mirror to bounce it back for a second chance.

WHY DON’T WE FEEL THE TONES OF ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE?

Atmospheric pressure, which is about 1 kg per’sqcm of area, presses down on our body from all sides, but we don’t feel it as it is balanced by fluid pressure from inside our body We can feel the difference during rainy season or when we go. to places where atmospheric pressure is less, like hill stations, where due to higher fluid pressure, blood oozes out in blood vessels, making the skin over those pink. The reverse happens under water.

WHY DO FOOD PACKAGES CARRY KCAL WHEN THEY ACTUALLY SPECIFY CALORIES AND NOT KILO-CALORIES?

Kilocalories are commonly known as calories and abbreviated as kcal. One calorie (Kcal) has the same energy value as 4.186 kilojpules-(kJ), while one kilojoule is equivalent to 0.24 calories. One calorie contains the amount of energy that raises the temperature of one litre of water by 1 degree Celsius.

WHAT IS SPIDER SILK?

Spider silk, also known as gossamer, is a protein fibre spun by spiders. Spiders use their silk to make webs. They can also suspend themselves using it. Many small spiders use silk threads for ballooning, the scientific term for the dynamic kiting spiderlings (mostly) used for dispersal. They extrude several threads into the air and let themselves get carried away with upward winds.

WHAT IS A SICK-OUT?

A sick-out is concerted action by a group of employees, who call in sick to protest against the company and its policies. It is meant to hold the company to ransom. In ordinary language, it is a strike to show the power they hold over the company’s working. It is a slightly more devious method than taking to the streets openly and raising slogans. Employees hope to put pressure on the company and force it to meet their demands.

WHAT IS UNBREAKABLE GLASS MADE OF, AND IS IT REALLY UNBREAKABLE?

The presence of micro cracks on the glass surface (called Griffith’s micro cracks) makes glass breakable under tension or impact. Such micro cracks are unavoidable as the glass surface comes under tension while cooling from a high temperature into various shapes. However, one can increase its impact resistance by various methods, so it can withstand even the impact of a bullet. The idea is to remove the surface micro cracks by chemical etching, or putting the glass surface under compression by physical or chemical toughening. One can even laminate two such toughened glass plates with resin in-between. These glasses are unbreakable, but when the threshold value is very high, it eventually breaks or cracks.

WHAT IS UNIVERSAL TIME COORDINATED?

Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) is a time standard based on International Atomic Time with leap seconds added at irregular intervals to compensate for the Earth’s slowing rotation. A leap second is a positive or negative one-second adjustment to the UTC scale that keeps it close to Mean Solar Time at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. The difference between UTC and Mean Solar Time is not allowed to exceed 0.9 seconds, so if high precision is not required, the general term Universal Time may be used. Time zones are expressed as positive or negative offsets from UTC. While each day contains 24 hours and each hour 60 minutes, the number of seconds in a minute can be 60,61 or 59.

HOW DO SENSOR DOORS WORK?

Sensor doors use motion sensors or presence sensors. The first are used to activate the door when it detects a moving object, such as a pedestrian or shopping cart. Motion sensors can distinguish between objects moving toward the door or away from it. They use microwave technology and utilize the Doppler Effect principle. The sensors emit a high frequency microwave signal — when the wave encounters a moving object, it bounces back and its frequency changes in proportion to the object’s speed; Presence sensors detect both moving and non-moving objects in the path of the door. Presence sensors use infrared technology — they emit an invisible pulsed light signal. The receiver looks for the reflected signal and reacts.

WHAT IS WEISURE?

Weisure time is when work is done during leisure time. With the line between work and leisure blurring thanks to online work and smartphones, a new work-life culture has been created. Sociologist Dalton Conley coined this word, having observed that 9-5 jobs are giving way to this new lifestyle.

WHO DISCOVERED COMETS? HOW IS THE TAIL FORMED?

Comets have been known to mankind since eons, hence it cannot be said that comets were discovered by any single individual. A comet, like planets and asteroids, orbits around the sun — with fee orbital period varying from a few years to thousands of years. A comet is formed of rock, ice, dust and a few frozen gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and methane. When a comet is close to the sun, the radiation from the sun causes the volatile matter in the comet to vaporize and spread out into space in the form of its tail, its dust particles and ions glowing due to sunlight falling on it.

WHAT IS HAY FEVER AND WHY IS IT SO CALLED?

Hay fever is a form of allergy belonging to a group of maladies including hives, asthma and skin problems caused by protein sensitization.During certain seasons, many plants, grasses release their pollens into the air in large quantities. A person is said to have hay fever when he/she is sensitive to these pollens and other substances present in the air. It is called hay fever because the symptoms of the disease appear during spring and fall in England.

HOW IS THE HEIGHT OF WATER TIDES PREDICTED?

As astronomical data is not sufficient to calculate tides, predictions are also based on actual tidal measurements in many areas, over ah extended period. A network of tide stations is equipped to take the following measurements every six minutes: tide levels, wind speed and direction, water current speeds, directions, air and water temperatures and barometric pressure. Stations that provide these daily predictions are called reference stations. Other stations are subordinate stations, which obtain predictions by applying a specific formula to this data. The formula is derived by observing how tides at the two stations related to one another in the past.

HOW DO SOLAR CELLS CONVERT SUNLIGHT INTO ELECTRICITY?

Solar cells use photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight directly into electricity by converting photons (light particles) into electrons (negatively charged particles). Photovoltaic cells are made of semiconductors and silicon, mixed with other material.

WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD COCKTAIL?

The word cocktail was used in 1806 and is of American origin. Bartenders would drain the dregs of all the barrels and mix them together, serving the resultant muddle at a reduced price. Cock was another name for spigot, and tailings is the last bit of alcohol, so this drink was called cock-tailings, quickly shortened to “cocktail”.

WHAT IS A CUSHION ACCOUNT?

It is an account a person sets aside which has no demands of monthly expenses on it, and is used as an emergency or luxury fund. A few business people set aside cushion funds to help their business grow, and for stability. The word ‘cushion’ is used as it gives a certain level of comfort to the person.

WHAT IS MAGIC SAND?

Magic sand is water-repellent sand available in blue, green and red colours. When this sand in powder form is sprinkled on water, it sinks and forms a solid substance. This property is used to separate oil floating in the oceans — it can be sprayed on oil spills to enable it to mix with oil and take solid form. It is also used by utility companies in Arctic areas as it never freezes.

IF LEAVES GET THEIR COLOUR FROM CHLOROPHYLL, WHAT GIVES FLOWERS THEIR COLOUR?

Plant cells have cell organelles known as plastids, which are colouring agents. There are three types of plastids — chloroplasts (contain green pigment chlorophyll), leucoplasts (white or colourless plastids) and chromoplasts (contain other pigments). All cells have varying proportions of these. Flowers have a majority of the third type and get their colours from these.

HOW IS A MOCKTAIL DIFFERENT FROM A COCKTAIL?

Cocktail is a style of mixed drinks, and usually contains one or more types of liquor and mixers, such as bitters, fruit juice or herbs. Mocktail is a non-alcoholic cocktail. Mocktail is also know as ‘virgin cocktail’.

WHAT IS A MINSKIAN PONZI DEAL?

The Minskian Ponzi deal was a theory propounded by American economist Minsky, in 1986. Such deals are both unsustainable and hazardous. In Minsky’s view, periods of economic and financial stability lead to a lowering of investors’ risk aversion and a process of releveraging. Investors borrow excessively and push asset prices excessively high. In this process, there are three types of investors/borrowers. First, sound or hedge borrowers who can afford to pay on their own. Second, speculative borrowers who can only service interest payments out of their cash flows. Finally, there are Ponzi borrowers who can service neither interest nor principal payments, and need to keep on refinancing their debts.

WHAT DOES THE MONTH OF RAMZAN SIGNIFY?

Ramzan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Muslims fast for the entire month. They are obliged to abstain from all food, drink, tobacco and conjugal relations from dawn till sunset. The spiritual aspects include refraining from gossiping, lying, slandering and all such traits of bad character. The month of Ramzan is a time for spiritual reflection, prayer, recitation of the Quran, doing ‘Zikr’, endurance and selfdiscipline, to train the soul and body to be able to exercise self-restraint.

WHO IS A SEXER?

A sexer is a professional in a hatchery who can tell a male chick from a female. Also known as chick sexers, they are employed to separate the genders as hatcheries have different feeding programmes for them: females are reared to lay eggs and males are bred for their meat. Big hatcheries sex chickens as they have no use for male birds who are killed almost immediately. A sexer is trained to tell the chicks apart by their physical appearance and vents.

WHAT IS A SINKING FUND?

It is a fund set aside as a means to repay funds borrowed through a bond issue. The issuer makes periodic payments to a trustee who retires part of the issue by purchasing the bonds in the open market. Rather than the issuer repaying the entire principal of a bond issue on the maturity date, another company buys back a portion of the issue annually, and usually at fixed par value or at the current market value of the bonds, whichever is less. From the investor’s point of view, a sinking fund adds safety to a corporate bond issue: with it, the issuing company is less likely to default on repayment.

WHY IS A SWINE FLU MASK CALLED N95?
Respirators or N95 masks can block 95% small particles that contain the H1N1 virus, which causes swine flu. These are expensive and can be used only for a single day. These masks are made of three layers of electrostaticallycharged microfibres, that block 95% particles, thus the name N95.
WHAT IS CLAYTRONICS?

Claytronics is an emerging field of engineering, drawing on nano technology and computer engineering. Claytronics or programmable matter refers to an assemblage of tiny components called claytronic atoms or catoms, which could assume the form of any object, depending on the programmes controlling the claytronics. This term also refers to the art of making clay caricatures of public figures, begun in 1996 by an Indian, Charuvi Agrawal.

WHAT DOES ‘TROPICALIZED’ ON A RADIO SET SIGNIFY?

Heat and humidity are the greatest enemies of any electrical equipment, so in tropical countries, such equipment is manufactured to withstand those climatic conditions. In a radio set, tropicalized means coating the electrical windings with resin, sealing the speaker hole with acoustically transparent cloth, installing” felt washers on the control knobs, and sealing openings for the antenna and earth connections.

WHAT IS A GRASS SKIRT?

A grass skirt, also called a hula skirt, is a traditional part of the dress worn by hula dancers on tropical islands. It is made of long blades of grass, most popularly seen on  the island of Hawaii. Grass skirts are also worn in many cultures and tribes in Africa, like the Zulu tribals.

WHAT IS WHITE NOISE?

Noise that is produced by combining sounds of different frequencies together is called white noise. Since it contains all frequencies, white noise is used to mask other sounds. When two or three people talk, our brain can distinguish the sound of a particular person. But if a crowd cheers in a stadium, no individual voice can be identified. That’s white noise and is most effectively used in the emergency siren.

WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL MELANISM?

It is caused when the natural environment of an organism is disturbed due to industrial pollution. As pollutants like soot and smoke darken the landscape, they disturb the environment of many organisms that rely on camouflage to avoid predation. This change makes them vulnerable to predators and creates a strong selective pressure due to which an organism with a darker colour is more likely to survive.

WHAT ARE BATHOLITHS?

Batholiths are enormous masses of igneous rock made up of once-molten material solidified below the earth’s surface. These are usually made of granite and extend over thousands of miles. A well known batholith is located in the Sierra Nevada range of California, across 40,000 sqkm.

WHAT IS RASTAFARIANISM?

The Rastafarian movement originated in Jamaica in 1930s, based on the philosophies of Marcus Mosiah Garvey. Today, it has branched out, including groups that still hold Garvey’s beliefs and groups that have disavowed his more controversial stances. His organization’s aim was to unite black people (Negroes) with their rightful homeland, Africa. He prophesied about his people being redeemed by a future Black African king. This  prediction was fulfilled in November 2, 1930, when Ras Tafari Makonnen was crowned King of Ethiopia.

WHAT ARE WIDGETS?

Widget, literally, is a blend of window and gadget, coined by George S Kaufman in his play ‘Beggar on Horseback’. It is a hypothetical manufactured good or product. In computing, the term has become frequently used to refer to objects on a computer screen the user interacts with. A widget is anything that can be embedded within a HTML page. Widgets often take the form of on-screen tools like clocks, event countdowns etc.

WHY DON’T TWO-WHEELERS HAVE A REVERSE GEAR?

A regular motorcycle has a ‘sequential’ manual transmission, meaning you can only shift up or down one gear at a time. It is also designed to spin one way only. Adding reverse would require the crankshaft to spin backwards, or a much larger, heavier, expensive transmission. So it is easiest to dismount and push the bike backwards.

WHAT IS A DUM DUM BULLET?

It is an expanding bullet designed to grow on impact, increasing in diameter to limit penetration and/or produce a larger diameter wound. There are many expanding bullet designs though the most commonly encountered are hollow-point bullet and the soft-point bullet. Such bullets are Sometimes known as ‘dum dum’ bullets. After an early British example pro- duced in the Dum Dum arsenal, near Kolkata, India, there were several expanding bullets produced by this arsenal for the .303 British cartridge.

WHO ARE STILT FISHERMEN?

Stilt fishing is an old tradition practised by around 500 fishing families in Galle, in southwestern-most Sri Lanka. These fishermen usually fish at sunset, noon and sunrise, with each one taking an elevated position and balancing about 2 metres above the wa- ter. The stilts are dug into the coral and bed of the sea. Stilt fishing started after the Second World War.

WHAT ARE SIN STOCKS?

They are stocks of companies which manufacture or deal with cigarettes, alcohol, weapons and sex-related products. They could be directly involved in the business or associated with such activities. Such companies are also called sin businesses.

WHY DOES SNOW LOOK WHITE BUT WATER IS COLOURLESS?

Snow is a block of individual ice crystals arranged together. When a light photon enters a layer of snow, it goes through an ice crystal on the top, which changes its direction slightly and sends it on to a new ice crystal, which does the same thing. Basically, all the crystals bounce the light all around, so that it comes right back out of the snow pile. It does the same thing to all the different light frequencies, so all colours of light are bounced back out. The ‘colour’ of all the frequencies in the visible spectrum combined in equal measure is white, so this is the colour we see in snow.

WHAT IS THE FULL FORM OF AK-47 AND WHAT DOES 47 REFER TO?

AK-47 stands for Russian Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947 (Automatic Kalashnikov 1947). Designed by Russian Mikhail Kalashnikov, it was the assault rifle used by most Eastern Bloc countries during the Cold War. The rifle was adopted and standardized in 1947, thus the name.

HOW IS THE TIME DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO COUNTRIES CALCULATED?

The earth has 360 imaginary lines called longitudes or meridians running vertically between the poles. Each of these longitudes is called a degree. The 0 degree longitude passing through Greenwich, near London, is considered as standard and the time of all other time zones are calculated accordingly. The time difference between each longitude (each degree) is 4 minutes. So if it is 12 noon at Greenwich (0 degree), it would be 12:04 pm at 1 degree meridian and so on. In India, the standard meridian is 82-and-half degree. So the time difference between Greenwich and India is 82.5 x 4, which is 330 minutes (5 hours 30 minutes).

WHAT IS LAISSEZ FAIRE?

Laissez faire is a French phrase and means to let things pass. The term is used to describe an economic system where the government intervenes as little as possible and leaves the private sector to organize most economic activity through markets. Classical economists were great advocates of a laissez faire system.

WHAT IS THE FREIMARKT?

Freimarkt means free fair. It was first held on October 16, 1035, in Bremen, Germany. It is the biggest festival in Northern Germany, with more than four million visitors each year. It is celebrated for 17 days in the last two weeks of October. The area covers approximately 100,000 sqm on two areas: the ‘Kleiner Freimarkt’ (Small Free Fair) on the market square. It is famous for its beer tents and amusement rides. An annual highlight is the ‘Freimarktsumzug’ (Free Fair Procession).

HOW ARE ULTRA-VIOLET RAYS BLOCKED BY THE OZONE LAYER?

The ozone layer contains ozone molecules — 03 molecules — which are formed by the action of ultra-violet rays on atmospheric oxygen. This oxygen, which is 02, converts into 03 when UV rays fall on it. When these rays fall on the surface of the atmosphere, they are absorbed in the conversion of oxygen into ozone. As a result, ultra-violet rays are blocked by this ozone layer.

HOW IS THE TEMPERATURE OF A STAR MEASURED?

As stars are very far away, their temperatuce cannot be measured directly. Fortunately, the light coming from stars can be analyzed through several scientific instruments. Although all stars appear white, they have different colours when carefully viewed. The variations are a result of their temperature — cold stars appear red, and hot ones blue or white. The colour of a star is measured by an instrument called photoelectric photometer, which involves passing the light through different filters and finding the amount that passes through each filter. The measures from the photometer are converted to temperature, using standard scales.

WHICH IS THE WORLD’S LONGEST STORYBOOK?

Marcel Proust’s  A La Recherche Du Temps Perdu’ (translated as In Search of Past) is the world’s longest novel, according to the Guinness World Records. The influential 13-volume work contains 9,609,000 characters, with each letter and space counting as one character.

WHY DOES A FALLING OBJECT HAVE NO WEIGHT?

Every body on this earth is attracted by the gravitational pull of the earth. A freely falling object has weight W=mg, where W-weight, m-mass of the object and g-acceleration produced due to the earth’s gravity An object kept in a lift which falls freely, weighs zero on the weighing machine, but its actual weight is still mg. This happens because the normal reaction force exerted on the object in the lift is equal to zero, and normal force equals to mg, which in turn equals the weight of the object.

WHAT IS THE REOG DANCE?

It is a spectacular dance with several dancers wearing bright, colourful costumes, accompanied by merry music. It is always held in open terrain, such as a square, street etc. This dance is a traditional art form combined with a magical show or trance dance. The Reog dates back to the Hindu period in East Java in Indonesia.

WHAT IS THE SCHWARZSCHILD RADIUS?

It is a characteristic radius associated with every quantity of mass. This term is used in physics and astronomy, especially in the theory of gravitation and general relativity. m 1916, Karl Schwarzschild obtained an exact solution to Einstein’s field equations for gravitational field outside a nonrating, spherically symmetric body. The solution contained a formula, where one of the values came to be known as Schwarzschild Radius.

WHO  WERE  THE  IRON CHANCELLORS?

A hundred years ago, Germany was divided into many small states. In one of these states, Prussia, the chancellor or chief minister to the king, was Otto Von Bismarck. A strong and ruthless man, Bismarck built Prussia into the strongest of all German states. He got his nickname of ‘The Iron Chancellor’ when he said Germany could become a great power “through blood and iron”.

HOW IS THE HEIGHT OF DIFFERENT PLACES ON EARTH MEASURED FROM THE SEA LEVEL?

The height of different places on earth is measured with the help of the ‘altimeter’. It is basically a barometer without the mercury, and instead of instead of the pressure graduating in a barometer, the corresponding height graduates.

WHAT IS CRAB FOOTBALL?

Crab soccer (American English) or crab football (British English) is an informal sport for two teams. Unlike soccer, players support themselves on their hands and feet and face up, in motions that make them look like crabs, a method known as crab walking. This sport involves kicking, so safety is at the root of many rules. Like soccer, players other than the goalkeeper must not touch the ball with their hands.

HOW DOES A MOBILE VIBRATE?

There is a little motor fitted in a cell phone. This motor is unevenly weighted on its output shaft. When this motor rotates, the rotating uneven weight causes the mobile to vibrate.

WHAT IS TELEPRESENCE?

Telepresence is the next-gen videoconferencing technology, which provides superior images. The demand for telepresence solutions has grown, with companies seeing it as an alternative to send executives for meetings. It also reduces a company’s carbon footprint by cutting down frequent flying. Setting up a telepresence suite can be very expensive, though.

HOW IS THE MASS OF HEAVENLY BODIES MEASURED?

The mass of a heavenly body can be measured by knowing the orbital period (time it takes to complete one orbit around the other body), the distance between two bodies and gravitational constant. The orbital time is inversely proportionate to the square root of the sum of the masses of two bodies and directly proportion distance raised to power three by two.

WHAT IS AN ELECTRON GUN?

It is a device in the back of a “cathode ray tube” television or computer monitor (pre-plasma or LCD flat-panel). The electron gun fires a stream of electrons from the back of the TV onto the inside face of the screen, which is coated with a material that glows when hit by electrons. By using powerful magnets to direct the stream across the screen, a series of dots (‘pixels’) is built over the screen which appears as an image.

WHO INVENTED THE SPEECH BUBBLE AND WHEN WAS IT FIRST USED?

One of the earliest antecedents to the modern speech bubble was the speech scroll — wispy lines that connected first person speech to the mouths of ‘speakers in Meso-American art. In Western graphic art, labels that reveal what a figure is saying have appeared even in the 13th century Word balloons began appearing in 18th century printed broadsides and political cartoons from the American Revolution often used them.

WHY   ARE   CELLPHONES SWITCHED OFF WHILE FLYING?

Mobile phones are radio transmitters and as such, were banned from use in civilian airplanes, for fear they could interfere with airplane avionics. There was also concern that a cellular phone would cause disruption to the cell systems’ towers, and distract passengers during take-off and landing.

A dirty bomb is a simple explosive device used not so much to produce extensive damage but to contaminate a designated spot with radioactive material. It’s primary role is to spread fear.

WHAT IS THE PEKING OPERA?

The Peking Opera, which originated in the late 18th century, is a synthesis of music, dance, art and acrobatics. It is the most influential of all operas in  China, and can be divided into ‘civil’ pieces characterized by singing, and ‘martial’ ones featuring acrobatics and stunts. Some operas are a combination of both. The operatic dialogues and monologues are recited in the Beijing dialect.

WHAT IS A PINK ELEPHANT?

The term ‘pink elephant’ is used to describe something obvious and uncomfortable, but which obody wants to talk about. At the workplace or in business communications, it is something that is buried under the carpet when things go wrong. It refers especially to a situation of unhealthy relationships between women colleagues — one woman may try to bully the other women out of rivalry to stay in control. Broaching such a topic may be embarrassing to all, so it is called a “pink elephant in the room”.

WHY IS AN ATOM SPHERICAL IN SHAPE?

The shape of an atom refers to the shape of the imaginary volume in which its electrons orbit. Different electrons orbit at different levels. The shape of the atom depends on several factors, including the angular momentum of electrons. Only the simplest atoms have a spherical shape. Heavy atoms have a more complex shape.

WHAT IS MICRO-PROPAGATION?

Micro-propagation is the technique of multiple production of plants in-vitro. It is used for plants that do not produce seeds or respond to normal vegetable reproduction. Micro propagation’s main advantage is to produce disease-free plants in multiple numbers and cloning of plants.

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF H2O2 IN THE GREY-HAIR PUZZLE?

New research shows that hair turns grey as a result of a chemical reaction that causes it to bleach itself inside out. When there is a dip in levels of an enzyme called catalase, hydrogen peroxide (H202) that naturally occurs in hair can’t be broken down. As H202 builds up, the hair becomes grey.

WHO MADE THE FIRST ICE CREAM IN THE WORLD?

The origin of ice cream can be traced to the 4th century BC. Early references include Roman emperor Nero who ordered ice to be brought from the mountains and combined with fruit toppings, and King Tang (AD 618-97) of Shang, China, who had a method of creating ice and milk concoctions. Ice cream was brought from China back to Europe.

WHAT IS ‘SMART ANTENNA’ TECHNOLOGY?

This is a new technology in the field of wireless and mobile communications in which capacity and performance are usually limited by two major impairments — multipath and co-channel interference. A smart antenna enables a higher capacity by reducing multipath and co-channel interference. This is achieved by focusing the radiation in the desired direction and adjusting to changing traffic conditions.

WHAT IS THE GOLLIWOG ACT?

WHAT IS A ‘CASH AND CARRY STORE’ AND WHY IS IT SO CALLED?

A cash and carry store is different from regular retail chains which target professional customers rather than end-consumers. This concept is based around self-service and bulk buying arid serves registered customers only. The core customer groups are hotels, caterers, traders and other business professionals. Such stores aim to prevent any intervention by middlemen and requires buyers to make their own arrangements and assume all risk.

HOW DOES HAIR GEL WORK?

The main ingredient in hair gels is a plastic called PVP, which is a polymer sealer. The polymers in PVP are dissolved in water or alcohol and form a clear film between each hair strand, attaching them to one another. Chemical experts call this “capillary power” because it’s similar to how blood capillaries work. When gel is applied to wet hair, the PVP or similar ingredient absorbs water quickly. When the gel dries completely, it forms a fixed connection between hair strands.

WHAT IS A WORMHOLE?

A wormhole is a theoretical entity allowed by Einstein’s theory of general relativity in which spacetime curvature connects two distant locations (or times). The term ‘wormhole’ was coined by American theoretical physicist John A Wheeler in 1957, based on an analogy of how a worm could chew a hole from one end of an apple through the centre to the other, thus creating a shortcut through the intervening space.

WHAT DOES MIRROR IMAGE MEAN IN BIOLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY?

Mirror image is a concept from chemistry applied to organic materials. An example of this is glucose arid fructose. These molecules are mirror images of each other. Although it is possible to flip glucose and superimpose it over a fructose molecule, only in 2D (flat viewing) are they similar.

WHAT IS A 3-D FILM?

A 3-D film is any visual presentation system that attempts to maintain or recreate moving images of the third dimension, the illusion of depth as seen by the viewer. It involves filming two images simultaneously, with two cameras, filming at 90 degree angle via mirrors. When viewed in such a way that each eye sees its photographed counterpart, the viewer’s visual cortex will interpret the pair of images as a single three-dimensional image. Modern computer technology also allows for the production of pseudo-SD films using CGI and without the need for dual cameras.

WHAT IS SWEETHEARTING?

Sweet hearting is a method cashiers use to pass on goods to friends by failing to bill one. They do so by passing two items, and obscuring the barcode of one, so it goes unnoticed. Now, there are machines to pick out sweet hearting.

WHAT ARE MANGO SHOWERS?

Mango showers are those experienced prior to the arrival of the monsoon. These showers arrive generally in late April and May and are said to aid in the ripening of mangoes and from dropping prematurely from trees.

WHAT IS TERMINATOR GENE TECHNOLOGY?

The terminator gene is a specific genetic sequence inserted by scientists into a seed’s DNA that renders the seed and the crop it produces sterile. Patented by the USDA and Delta and Pine Land Co., now owned by Monsanto, this terminator technology has no agricultural or economic benefits for farmers or consumers.

WHY IS THE FLAME OF A CANDLE POINTED?

The flame of a candle is produced when the wax of the candle melts due to heat and the molten wax rises in the wick. As the heated gas rises above from the base of the flame, it moves faster as the pressure decreases from the base to the top. As the rate at which the gas is released from the base is more or less constant, the flame becomes thinner and thinner from its base to the end, assuming a pointed tip.

HOW DID THE ABBREVIATION DR FOR DOCTORS ORIGINATE, AND WHY DO ENGINEERS NOT USE ER?
The abbreviation originated to separate people qualified to practice medicine from those holding the highest academic degree i.e. doctorate in nonmedical subjects. In USA, only dentists and vets are called doctors. Physicians and surgeons do not put ‘Dr’ before their names. Engineers, at least in India, put ‘Er’.
WHAT IS A FLIPBOOK?

A flipbook is a small book with a series of printed images that create the illusion of motion when its pages are rapidly flipped. Typically, a flipbook is held in one hand while the thumb of the other flicks the pages and the user concentrates on the middle of each page. It relies on a basic optical principle known as persistence of vision. In India, flip books were popular in the seventies, when cola majors brought out flip books of cricketers in action.

WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF FORMULA I?

Formula One, also known as Formula 1 or Fl, and currently officially referred to as FIA Formula One World Championship, is the highest class of auto racing sanctioned by the Fidiration Internationale de 1′Automobile (FIA).
