Applications of waves in your everyday life

Waves are everywhere. Most of the information that we receive comes to us in the form of
waves. You rely on waves to bring you music and TV. You can cook with waves, talk to
others and see things all because of waves. Waves transfer energy in different forms, some
are very useful, while others can be deadly.

A Tsunamis or tidal wave is a very large water wave that has been produced by some kind of
seismic phenomena. These waves can move at speeds of 500 km/h and have a period of 60
minutes. They can move across the ocean very quickly and cause incredible damage to
coastal regions.

Animals use wave motion to propel themselves through their surroundings. Eels and snakes
use transverse body waves to push against the water or ground to help them move.
Earthworms however, use longitudinal waves for propulsion. Others, like certain one-celled
animals, use flagella in a whip like wave motion to move about their world.

Shock waves created out by lighting may cause a sonic boom. Sonic booms can also be
produced by aircraft flying at speeds more significant than the speed of sound in air. Because
of this the Concord aircraft has been banned from flying over inland portions of the United
States.

Henry Ford was a famous American engineer and car manufacturer. He was born on a farm
in Dearborn in Michigan in 1863.

He was the first man to mass produce cars at a price which people could afford. Although at
first he made automobiles that only rich people could afford, he wanted to build a car that
was cheap enough for most families to own and in 1903 he succeeded.

Ford was very interested in horseless carriages. He decided to build one himself. He began
to experiment with engines until his first car was made in 1893. Night after night he would
work on it like a madman. At last in 1896 the vehicle was ready for a trial run. He then ran it
round the block. It went well. Finally, in 1903, the Ford Motor Company was founded.

The thing that made his company famous was his mass production line. Instead of having
each person build the entire motor car, he had one person doing their own small job.
Because this saved a lot of time and money, Ford could offer more cars to the American
public at a lower price than anyone before him.

How much caffeine is safe for me?

In May 2015, The European Food Safety Authority published a report on the safety of
caffeine. They looked at research on the short term adverse effects of caffeine such as
interrupted sleep, anxiety and behavioral changes and increased blood pressure.

EFSA’s advice for those without underlying health problems such as hypertension, is that:

Pregnant and breast-feeding women: Daily intakes of caffeine up to 200mg do not raise
safety concerns for the unborn child or breast-fed child. For breast-feeding women, single
doses of caffeine up to 200mg are not a safety concern for the child.

Adults: Single doses of caffeine up to 200mg and daily intakes of caffeine up to 400mg do
not raise safety concerns.
Children and Adolescents: Single doses of caffeine up to 3mg/kg body weight (bw) and daily
intakes of caffeine up to 3mg/kg bw do not raise safety concerns. For a 10-year-old child
weighing 30kg, this would work out to around 90mg of caffeine, which is just over one
250ml can of energy drink.

Based on current scientific opinions on the safety of caffeine, we advise that children, or
other people sensitive to caffeine, should only consume caffeine in moderation. Pregnant and
breast-feeding women are advised not to have more than 200mg of caffeine over the course
of a day, which is roughly two mugs of instant coffee or one mug of filter coffee. Drinks like
espresso and lattes, which are made from ground coffee, typically contain higher levels of
caffeine per mug.

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Statistics Indonesia (BPS) logged a third-quarter export value of

US$61.42 billion, growing by 50.9 percent from last year's. BPS chairperson Margo Yuwono
said this was 3.51 percent growth year-on-year. 

“Developments in food or mining commodity prices affect the performance of third-quarter

exports, making it grow quite significantly,” said Yuwono in a virtual press conference on
November 5. 

The largest exports came from mining, which grew 161.2 percent year-on-year, while oil and
gas exports climbed 56.13 percent year-on-year to US$3 billion. The processing industry was
also up by 38.96 percent to US$46.6 billion yoy. 

Meanwhile, exports from the agriculture sector were at -5.96 percent year-on-year with

US$1.04 billion, but saw 14.85 percent growth on a quarterly basis. Yuwono said Indonesia’s
economy grew positive on a year-on-year basis in this year’s Q3. 

Mobility improved again in September in line with the increasing number of people receiving
vaccines and adherence to health protocols, thus increasing public confidence.

"But overall, mobility is lower than in the second quarter of 2021 or 2020," Yuwono said.

Eating for a Healthy Digestive System

It’s important to maintain a healthy digestive system by consuming the right foods and
adopting sensible eating habits. For better digestive health, follow these simple tips:

Be sure you’re getting both soluble and insoluble fibre.  Insoluble fibre can’t be digested
by your body, but serves the purpose of adding bulk to your stools and thus enabling food and
waste products to pass through your gut. Soluble fibre draws in water and helps prevent
stools that are too liquid.  You can get insoluble fibre from wheat bran, vegetables, and whole
grains, while foods such as oat bran, nuts, seeds, and legumes provide soluble fibre.
Minimize your intake of foods high in fat. Fatty foods tend to slow down the digestive
process, which can lead to constipation. Nevertheless, you do need some fat in your diet, so
try to pair these fatty items with high-fibre foods to make them easier to digest.

Add probiotics to your diet. Probiotics help keep your entire body healthy by counteracting
the effects of a poor diet, antibiotics, and stress. Consumed on a daily basis, they may also
improve nutrient absorption, break down lactose, and strengthen your immune system. Good
sources of probiotics include low-fat yogurt or kefir, on a daily basis.

Follow a regular eating schedule. Dieticians and other experts agree that eating breakfast,
lunch, dinner, and snacks  around the same time each day allows for proper digestion of your
food. When you don’t eat at consistent times, it causes your stomach to overwork, which
often results in bloating and indigestion. Eat every 3 to 4 hours to allow your stomach to
properly digest its contents.
