In 1963, at the age of 21, Hawking was diagnosed with a disease which left him without the ability to communicate, crippled and confined to a wheelchair.

Astifcial leg Let’s Think P Animals that Hibernate The word ‘hibernation’ is derived from the Latin word Aibernare, meaning, ‘to pass the winter’. Hibernation may be referred to as a long, deep winter sleep. In scientific terms, hibernation is a state of highly reduced metabolism and lowered body temperature adopted by specific animals. This is their adaptation measure for surviving the adverse winter conditions. Inwinter, when food is often in short supply and difficult to find, certain animals solve this problem by hibernating. They generally eat a lot of food before the onset of winter and then survive off the energy stored in their fat. The animal in hibernation often appears to be dead. Its body temperature falls to 0°C, and its heartbeat becomes slow and gradual The animals that hibernate need to find a place which is: 7 safe Y sheltered v frost-free Complete the table by filling in the places these animals use to hibernate, A pair of hedgehogs sleping Hedgehog Work with your friend.

For an idea to take a definite shape? Or for an existing landscape to change and become multi-dimensional? It takes an initiative, a step forward and a positive attitude. A banker in Mumbai wished to have home-cooked food in his office, and a boy was given the task of supplying a dabba of home-cooked food to his office. Mahadeo Havaji Bachche saw immense opportunity in this venture. In 1890, he initiated the lunch delivery service with 100 dabbawalas. The number of dabbawalas has only been on the rise ever since. As Mumbai city grew, the dabbawallas became its iconic symbol. Mumbais army of 5,000 dabbawalas, all dressed in outfits with traditional Gandhi caps, have been supplying food to 200,000 Mumbai workers. Their core service is dabba delivery, ie, | delivering home-cooked food from the houses/mess to the workplace: They operate pan-Mumbai from Virar to Churchgate and from Ambernath to Dadar. This healthy, home-cooked food comes straight from the kitchens of people who enjoy cooking or messes to the tables at workplaces Over the years, the simple delivery system has changed little, except in scale. Today, the dabbawalas use computers and mobile phones to take orders and keep accounts, However, their mode of delivery remains the same.

Stukeley included it in the biography he wrote. Isaac Newton was born in 1642 near Grantham, England. He enrolled at the Trinity College, in the University of Cambridge in 1661. In 1665, the school was temporarily closed due t0 an ojtiteake-of bubonic ple’: So, Newton moved back to his childhood home; Woolsthorpe Manor. While in Woolsthorpe, he witnessed an apple drop from a tree. There is no evidence to suggest that the fruit actually fell on his head. However, Newton's observation made him ponder’ why apples always fall straight to the ground rather than sideways or upwards. This is regarded as his ‘Aha’ moment which inspired him to develop his Law of Universal Gravitation. In 1687, Newton first published The Law of Universal Gravitation in his landmark work the ‘Principia’ that established the universal laws of gravity and motion. According to the law of universal gravitation: Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directh ry Pe Y y a proportional to the product of the masses of the particles and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. “The esteemed mathematician and physicist died in 1727 and was buried at Westminstes Abbey.

A leading company of the United States attempted to patent a type of basmati rice under the name Calmati, Kasmati and Texmati. The United States initially granted permission to the company to patent the long-grain basmati rice. This was not acceptable to India. “Basmati rice’is the long-grained rice variety that is known for its distinct aroma. It is unique to the Indian subcontinent. this patent would have an adverse economic impact on Indian farmers and local rice the then Government of India exporters, challenged the patent. India strongly opposed this act at the World Trade Organization (WTO) Summit at Seattle. Indian basmati exporters dismissed the rice variants of the company as basmati imitations. Because of repeated protests, the India-US Battle on Patenting of Basmati Ric Ends With Both Coming to Terms. : company subsequently withdrew 15 of its claims. India is happy that the world recognises that original basmati is a speciality of Indian soil irrigated by the waters of Himalayan rivers.

In the early 1990s, anticipating the rise of cell phones, its executives got rid of everything but the telecom business. Even more strikingly, Nokia came up with its first smartphone back in 1996 and built asprototype? of a touch-screen, Internet-enabled phone at the end of the 1990s. Italso spent enormous amounts of money on research and development (R&D). What it was unable to do, though, was translate all that R&D spending into produets that people actually wanted to buy. It underestimated the importance of software, including the apps that run on smartphones, to the experience of using a phone. The executives in its direct competition saw hardware and software as equally essential parts of a whole. They encouraged employees to work in multidi iplinary teams to design products. Thus, Nokia not only failed to recognise the increasing importance of software, but also underestimated how important the transition to smartphones would be.
