It was the summer of 1936. The Olympic games were being held in Berlin. I wasn’t
worried about all this. I’d trained, sweated and disciplined myself for six years, with
the games in mind. While I was going over on the boat, all I could think about
was taking home one or two of those gold medals; I had my eye especially on
the long jump. A year before I’d set the world record of 26 feet ¼ inches. Every
one expected me to win that Olympic event hands down (without difficulty). I was
in for a surprise. When the time came for the long jump trials, I was startled
(surprised) to see a tall boy hitting the pit (jumping ) at almost 26 feet on his practice
leaps. He turned out to be a German named Luz Long. Every German was evidently
hoping that he would win the jump. I too was determined to go out there and really

prestigious dress maker of the forest. She designed for them a pair of striped, while
and black trousers. These were the most marvellous suits that a flamingo had ever
worn. Now they could go to the party. When the day came everybody was very
happy, but the snakes were very worried about the flamingos’ trousers, because
they saw that the trousers were made of snake skin.
3D Printing startups yet to get their mix right
On Friday, a family in France became the first in the world to move into a 3D
printed house- which took all of 54 hours to print, and cost about 20 % less than
an identical construction using more traditional solutions. Builders say it will become
even faster and cheaper to ‘print’ homes in the years to come, and the technology
will disrupt the industry. Last October, Netherlands opened the first 3D printed
concrete bridge for cyclists which took three months to create.

Houses, furniture, toys, shoes, clothing, medical implants and even tissues and
food are being 3D printed. Not yet on mass scale, but experiments are on. And
space sounds enormously promising. In India progress has been slower. The
technology is still used largely for school projects, which means funding is hard
to come by. About 70 % of the demand in India for printers comes from educational
institutions, compared to 50 % globally, says Gopal Krishna, co-founder of 3D printing
venture Global 3D.

21. How is 3D printing house cheaper ?

But let that old oak stand.

Touch, pressure, and pain- all require direct contact. Usually, hearing and sight are
like smell- long distance senses. Smell has its advantages : sight is (in a state
of nature) dependent on the sun and is to a great extent useless at night, but smell
is on day and night duty. Also, hearing is dependent on the production of sound.
If animal A is trying to locate animal B, animal B may succeed refraining from making
a sound. Odour, on the contrary, is not consciously controlled.
13. Which senses require direct contract ?
14. Is the sense of hearing dependent ? How ?

Baskers also went there. The sun was about to rise. Pahom was now ready to
start. The Basker chief put his cap at the starting point and Pahom started his
walk from that spot. He had taken some food and water with him. He had also
taken a spade to mark the land. In the beginning he walked fast. But he was not

One morning my brother-in-law (my sister Laxmi's husband), Sahib suddenly asked
me, "Everest chadogi?" He had just read an interesting piece of information in the
news paper: 'No female amputee had ever scaled Everest.' I wasn't amused. "I have
lost a leg and you are talking of Mt. Everest?" I started talking to myself: If I could
take a shot at Everest and succeed, I would become the first female amputee to hold
that record..... I thought about it for some time and then I conveyed to Sahib my
willingness to take up the challenge. "Theek hai, hum karengey” I said. I now had
something to look forward to: a mission, a goal, a reason to dream.

Everest began. It was a very dangerous, narrow path. I slipped and fell once; even my

for building three dimensional solid objects from raw materials. This industry uses
solidification of polymers, powders, and other raw materials, guided by designs drawn
on ordinary computers. Now it will be possible for human beings to acquire powers to
manipulate the properties of matter. Autofab is now creating opportunities for
manufacturers to satisfy the unique needs of customers. Inviting the customer into the
design, development and production process will lead to unexpected new products. In

Suspect Identification, Unit – 6, Read - 2
Fictional characters like Father Brown, Sherlock Holmes and Byomkesh Bakshi have
become legendary for their skills in identifying criminals without any technology. But
today, investigators rather use lots of new technologies to identify culprits. The most
popular and accurate of them all is DNA analysis.

DNA is the most basic biological material that every human being has. Every cell in a
human being has thousands of DNA strands. This DNA is unique. Every person has a
unique 'DNA fingerprint'. This fingerprint can be identified using any available
evidence like blood, saliva, etc. Even a single hair is enough to identify it.
4. What is DNA?
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
5. How can DNA be tasted?
_______________________________________________________________

Advanced technology helps us to find this DNA fingerprint. It is transferred on sheets
in form of barcode patterns. Police use these to match them to the suspects. DNA
cannot be faked. Hence, it is the most scientific and effective instrument to use in
identifying suspects. That's why investigators prefer using this technique.

Dating objects and artefacts is an interesting area of investigation. Investigators need

to date objects to understand what happened around them and when it happened. It
also helps to understand at what time in history a particular object was used. Such
investigations are taken up by scholars studying historical civilizations, rocks, ancient
cultures or crime investigators etc.

Several techniques are used to establish the ages of various ancient natural objects and
artifacts. Various methods are based on radioactivity. One method is radiocarbon
dating. Radiocarbon, or Carbon 14, is a form of the element Carbon. It is unstable and
weakly radioactive. The stable forms are Carbon 12 and Carbon 13. Carbon 14
constantly takes form and then changes in the upper atmosphere.
3. What is Radiocarbon technology?
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
4. Which are the stable forms of radiocarbon?
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
Other methods are also used like archaeomagnetic dating. This is based on reversal of
magnetic field of the Earth. Tree ring dating is another useful technique. Each year
changes occur within a tree by factors like rainfall, etc. These changes can be seen in
form of ring patterns within the tree trunks. These are used as a date 'fingerprint' in
this technique.

"Yummy .... This soup is very tasty!" You appreciate the hot vegetable soup, as you

Your sense of taste can tell you only whether the item is sweet, sour, salty or bitter. It
is not the tongue but your nose that reveals the true flavour of food. By tasting alone,
you can hardly differentiate between the food you love and the food you dislike.

Flavours have a back door entry to nose. They travel from mouth down the throat and
up again along the air passages leading to nasal cavities. We 'smell' when we inhale
and we sense flavours when we exhale. The olfactory area is located high up the nasal
cavity. During ordinary inhaling, the air passes without arousing any smell sensations.
When we want or need to check the odour, we sniff. Sniffing carries the odour filled
air upward to olfactory area. There is no need to sniff when we eat. But when we
chew the food, warm vapour is released and flavours are detected. Higher the
temperature of a substance, the more molecules are given off and intense odours are
felt. Therefore, mummy insists on serving dishes hot.

The sense of smell is far more complex than the sense of taste. It is almost impossible
to prepare a table of objects and their standard smells. Mostly, there is never only one
smell for one object. Scientists use the term flavour profile for smells. They have
classified smells under such headings: ethereal, aromatic, fragrant, ambrosial, garlic,
burning, gouty and fetid. But this classification is still tentative and unsatisfying. It is
believed that each natural order of flavour is a blend of many smells.

Do we differ much from one another in our sense of smell? Of course! There is some
variation in sense of smell of women than that of men's. Women have more acute
sense of smell than men have. And this sense becomes dull with aging, smoking and
drinking alcoholic beverages. When we have common cold, the smell receptors
located in about two and a half square centimetres in upper nasal cavity become dead.
Though the cold sufferer's sense of taste is not affected, he believes that he has lost the
sense of taste. Actually, his sense of smell is lost and therefore he is not able to
identify flavours of the food.

Touch, pressure, and pain- all require direct contact. Usually, hearing and sight are
like smell- long distance senses. Smell has its advantages: sight is (in a state of nature)
dependent on the sun and is to a great extent useless at night, but smell is on day and
night duty. Also, hearing is dependent on the production of sound. If animal A is
trying to locate animal B, animal B may succeed refraining from making a sound.
Odour, on the contrary, is not consciously controlled.

Soil erosion is a major problem in countries like India. It occurs when the top layer of
the soil is washed away in successive steps by the action of water. It is mainly caused
by sudden bursts of heavy rainfall, the slope of the land, removal of the natural
protective coat of vegetation, the ruts along which water can flow rapidly, and the
absence of any checks to prevent the flow of water. It can be checked using various
preventive measures like the terracing of land, the construction of bunds (dams) to
check the flow of water and the planting of appropriate types of vegetation.

Nathu grumbled to himself as he swept the steps of the Pipalnagar Bank, owned by
Seth Govind Ram. As Nathu was banging his pan against a dustbin, Sitaram, the
washer-man’s son, passed by. Sitaram was on his delivery round. He had a bundle of
freshly pressed clothes balanced on his head. ‘Don’t raise such dust!’ he called out
Nathu. ‘Are you annoyed because they are still refusing to pay you an extra two
rupees a month?’
‘I don’t wish to talk about it’, complained the sweeper boy. I haven’t even received
my regular pay. And this is the twentieth of the month. Who would think a bank
would hold up a poor man’s salary? As soon as I get my money, I’m off! Not another
week I work in this place. ‘Well, I wish you luck’, said Sitaram. I’ll keep a lookout for
any jobs that might suit you.

Advertisements are very much part of our commercial world. Businesses have to sell
their wares, so they make use of ads to this effect. Advertisements bring the shop
window to your door, induce you to visit the shop, and to see through and feel the
products which help to make your own life a little more cheerful.
In a developing country like India, cleverly done up ads can help to shake people out
of their inertia (unwillingness). For example, they can induce the farmer to take more
modern methods of agriculture and improve the general standard of his life.

During the past few months, I have read many books on maintaining in India – almost
always among the Garhwal Mountains. This has been fascinating reading. I was
surprised and pleased to find that there is complete agreement among those
Englishmen and Americans who have taken part in these expeditions (adventurous
journeys) that Garhwal has the most beautiful mountains and valleys in the world. The
men who gave this opinion were widely travelled and knew what they are talking
about. This really applies to the higher regions of Garhwal and not to the dusty and
rather bare (without vegetation) valleys and hillsides below. In these upper regions
there is an extraordinary and enchanting mixture of magnificent snow peaks, thick
forests and valleys carpeted (thickly covered) with lovely flowers. Indeed one of such
valleys, appropriately named the valley of flowers, has no rival anywhere.

wisdom to live in a world of wile (cleverly way to persuade others) and guile
(dishonest way to persuade others), asks a learned man called Vishnu Sharma to teach
them the ways of the world. Since his wards were dimwits, Vishnu Sharma decided to

leave this place.”
“How can I leave?” protested the cobra. “Someone else will occupy my place. So, I
will not go, I will stay here only. You offer me one frog every day from your circle of
relative.” he had to follow. The wicked cobra swallowed all the frogs. One day, it was
the turn of Yamunadatta, son of the king of frogs. The king cried bitterly over the loss

1. The animal of the forest arranged a dance party and everybody was
waiting for that moment and all the animals had a new dress but the
flamingo which at that time were all white, didn’t have anything to wear.
They felt ugly and ridiculous and they didn’t like any suit. Desperate they
went to the owl’s house who was the most prestigious dress maker of the
forest. She designed for them a pair of striped, white and black trousers.
These were the most marvellous suits that a flamingo had ever worn.
Now they could go to the party. When the day came everybody was very
happy, but the snakes were very worried about the flamingos’ trousers,
because they saw that the trousers were made of snake skin.

2. Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength.
Take, for example, the story of a 10 year-old boy who decided to study
judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating (causing
a lot of damage) car accident. The boy began lessons with an old
Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn’t understand
why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one
move. “Sensei”, the boy finally said, “shouldn’t I be learning more
moves?” This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll
ever need to know, Sensei replied.

4. The world of business is an extremely competitive world. A businessman

is interested in increasing the sale of his own product. Sometimes one
product may be as good as the other, but through a cleverly thought out
ad, a businessman can make you prefer his product to another. It would
be good for you to know some of the techniques advertising agencies
employ in the sale of a product.
We human beings are very much taken by up by externals. The more

glossy an object appears, the more we are attracted to it. The power of
colour, for example, to knock us out of sense is shown by an experiment
conducted in a supermarket.
