Liberator

Image
Liberator On display at the West Point museum is an example of the “ Liberator ” pistol mass produced during World War II. Little more than a stamped-metal “ zip gun ” the idea was to produce at minimal cost the minimal firearm capable of putting down an enemy soldier.  It was a one-shot weapon ( with storage in the grip for a few extra rounds ), not intended for combat use. Instead, the idea was that it would be airdropped to partisans across Europe, who would use it to cap Axis soldiers… and then take *their* guns. Relatively few of the millions produced still exist; fewer still were actually used. They came packaged in a carboard box with a cartoon instruction sheet. A wooden dowel rod was also included to help the shooter eject a spent cartrige. Given its limited practical value, they are really rather pricy, and if you find a boxload of ‘em, scrapping them for the steel would be a really, really bad idea.

A tiny slice of Africa

A Tiny Slice of Africa One of the four countries from Africa that kicked off its debut at the recent FIFA World Cup in football was Togo (the others were ivory coast, Angola and Ghana) Togo is a pencil thin strip of land in western Africa, nestled between Benin, Ghana and Burkina Faso, It has an Apology of a Cost line bordering the gulf of Guinea, where its capital city lome is located. Before the 1990’s Lome was called the pearl of West Africa for its pristine beaches. European traders arrived in Togo in the 16th century, trading in slaves with local tribal chiefs. One of them signed the land to Germany in 1884. The Germans taught the Togolese how to cultivate cocoa, coffee and cotton and mine phosphate, till today, Togo’s main source of wealth. World War I brought in the French and British who portioned out the tiny nation. When colonialism ended in africa.british Togo land joined Ghana while the French side declared its independence as a separate nation in 1960. Since then, T

BIRD FLU!!

Image
BIRD FLU!! There are at least 15 different types of avian influenza that routinely infect birds around the world. The current outbreak is caused by a strain known as H5NI, which is highly contagious among birds and rapidly fatal. Unlike many others strains of avian influenza, it can transmitted to humans causing severe illness and death. Influenza viruses are highly unstable and have the ability to mutate rapidly, potentially jumping from one animal species to another. Scientists fear the bird flu could evolve into a from that is easily spread between the people, resulting in in an extremely contagious and lethal disease. This could happen if someone already infected with the human’s flu vires catches the bird flu. The two viruses could recombine inside the victim’s body, producing a hybrid inside that could readily spread from person to person. The resulting virus likely would be something humans never been exposed to before. Within immune defenses, the infection could cause deva

DEAD SEA

DEAD SEA DEAD SEA we heard this name that it is a sea studied in our childhood days. This is located in between the Africa and gulf of Persia. Scientists are still puzzled over the geological factor that created the remarkable body of water known as the sea, which lies further beneath sea level than any other spot on earth. This extremely dense and saline sea, which has a far greater concentration of minerals than any of the oceans, and is unable to support any life form, is the source of life giving properties to all who choose to bathe in it. Floating on the sea is not just fun, it relaxes the body and does the skin and the joints a world of god. Everybody can float in its water as its saline water has a high density that keeps bathers buoyant [ie; able to float]. Although called the Dead Sea, this sea and the whole region on its shore is very much alining. The Dead Sea lies 417 m [1373 feet] below sea level at the lowest point on the earth’s surface. It is a part of the Syri

FLAME OF OUR FREEDOM STRUGGLE

FLAME OF OUR FREEDOM STRUGGLE - Bhagat Singh  Bhagat singh was born in September 27, 1907 in khatkar kalan, Punjab, in India. His grandfather Arjan singh, father kishan singh, and uncle Ajit singh, were all active in the freedom struggle. While studying at the D.A.V school in Lahore, in 1916, young Bhagat singh came into contact with some well – known political leaders like Lala Lajpat Rai and Ras Bihari Bose. In response to Mahatma Gandhi‘s call for no – cooperation against rule in 1921, Bhagat singh left his school and joined the newly opened national college at Lahore. At this college, which was a center of revolutionary activities, he came in contact with revolutionaries such as Bhagwati charan, sukhdev and others. He became a member of the Hindustan republican Association formed by the revolutionaries of Uttar Pradesh and was initiates into their firebrand activities. The revolutionaries were branded as terrorists by the British government. They believed that given the u

Hitting the earth in '2036'

Hitting the earth in ' 2036 ' Apophasis, a 1000 foots wide asteroid will pass earth on 13th April 2029, coming as close as some of our own scientists. It will be thrown off course by the earth’s gravity and, if we are very un lucky, it could swing back and hit us. It is almost certain that the asteroids which are close encounter with the earth will change its orbit. If it pass through a certain keyhole of the space only 600 meters wide, it will be deflected onto a path that will send it crashing onto the planet on its next pass on Sunday, April 13, 2036. Scientists have estimated that it has one chance in about 6,250 of hitting the earth. Such an impact would yield one of the greatest natural disasters occurring in the human life history. The impact would create a blast that the largest atomic or nuclear weapon which is thousand times much more powerful. This will kill millions of people if the impact occurred near a populated area or create a enormous Tsunami if the impac

INDIAN RAILWAY . . . . . . THE GOELDEN ERA

INDIAN RAILWAY . . . . . . THE GOELDEN ERA The first railway on the Indian sub- continent ran over a stretch of 21 miles from Bombay to thane. The ides of a railway to connect Bombay with thane, kalian and with the thal and bhore Ghats inclines first occurred to MR.GEORGE CLARK, THE CHIEF ENGINEER OF THE BOMBAY GOVERNEMENT, during a visit to bhandup in 1843. The formal inauguration ceremony was performed on 16th April 1853, when 14 railway carriages carrying about 400 guests left bori bunder at 3.30 pm “amidst the applause of a vast multitude and to the salute of 21 guns.” The first passenger train steamed out of Howrah station destined for Hooghly a distance of 24 miles, on 15th august, thus the first section of the East Indian railway was opened to public traffic, inaugurating the beginning of the railway transport on the eastern side of the sub-continent. In south the first line was opened on 1st July, 1856 by the Madras railway company.it ran between veyasrspandy and walaj

Peculiar of the earth

Peculiar of the earth after the first shower The piquant, musky order that hangs in the air emanates an odorous chemical buried in the soil called ‘geosmin’ [literally, earth smell]. The smell is given off by Streptomyces bacteria, a genus belonging to the Actinomycetales order of gram actionmycetes. An asteroid heading toward Earth makes a good movie plot, but astronomers haven't yet found any heavenly bodies on such a collision course. There are plenty of asteroids in our neighborhood of the solar system, however, and a team of physicists has now discovered several new types of near-Earth-asteroid orbital motion. In the 27 September PRL they describe their theory and computer simulations of the orbits of three known asteroids. They conclude that although we are safe from collisions with such objects, there may be many asteroids inhabiting these newly discovered orbits, including undiscovered satellites of Earth. The orbits are examples of "coorbital motion," where
