Photographer Aslesh Kamat has always had a penchant for collecting. Coins, antique cameras, stamps, Hot Wheels, tape recorders and record players, all find their way to his house. His tryst with bottle collecting however began about seven years ago.
"Someone happened to give a book about collecting antique bottles to the manager at my dad's firm. who decided to start collecting. He told us about it and as we had some old bottles as well, I began a collection too," recounts Kamat. Owing to his other collections, Kamat was quickly able to get in touch with people who could help him acquire more.
"I pick up these bottles from antique dealers and collectors, both from Goa and outside. I have even picked up bottles from scrap yards, backyards of old abandoned houses and sometimes even from the garbage," says Kamat. Today, he has around 300-400 bottles with some dating back to the early 1800s or late 1700s. These range from as small as 2-3 centimetres tall to around 2 to 2 and half metres tall.
The kind of bottles found differ from region to region, he says. In India, some of the best alcohol bottles are found in Goa owing to its previous Portuguese occupation. These also include huge transport bottles of 10 or 20 litres. Bottles originating from Britain are also found in Goa. Some good bottles are also found in cities like Kolkata and Mumbai which were under British rule, says Kamat.
Some of the other bottles in his collection include the codd-neck soda bottles with a marble on top that you had to push down to drink from. He also has in his possession mouth-blown bottles. As the name suggests these were bottles made by gathering hot glass in a pipe which were then blown and rolled around using moulds till the desired shape was achieved. "These were very rough and had a lot of air bubbles. The shape was usually crooked and the neck didn't have a seam. When two pieces of glass are joined together, it always leaves a joint mark which is called a seam. In fact we read and study bottles based on this seam and can figure out where the bottle came from and how old it is," explains Kamat.
The colour of the bottle can also give a hint to its original use. "Items which needed to be stored away from sunlight to avoid getting spoilt were usually stored in dark coloured glasses. Medicine bottles were usually in blue coloured bottles or jars. Poison bottles on the other hand had a lot of embossing on it. In this way even if you stumbled upon these in the dark, you could identify these," he states.
Some vintage jars or bottles have dates stamped on them like 1800 for instance. However it does not mean that the bottle was made in 1800, says Kamat. "The bottle may have been made about 50 years ago but it was probably used for storing an alcohol which may have first been made in 1800," he explains, adding that earlier there was no such thing as brands. "Even medicines earlier were known by their inventors. The codd bottle too got its name from the inventor Hiram Codd," he says.
Among the jars in his collection are the porcelain yellow and white ones which were and are still used to store vinegar, salt, pickle etc. He also has the Bellarmine jars which were also known as the witch hunter bottles. "These had the face of a king on it but people used to think that it was the face of Jesus and it was used to trap witches and evil spirits in it," he says. Other interesting bottles in his collection are those shaped like torpedos.
And although vintage bottle collecting is not known much in Goa, being more popular in countries like New Zealand and US, the scene may be changing slowly. "There are some companies today which are adapting the old style of bottles. These look the same but one can usually make out the difference from the seam. Now the neck of the bottle is attached later. Earlier this was not so.," he says.
Also, while people usually used to hand over their old bottles to him, today they know that these are valuable and instead keep them, he says.
And we need more bottle collectors, says Kamat. "It is fun to find a bottle and then figuring out where it came from, what it had, and who drank from it. Some bottles may have come from a particular house or used by a particular person of value in those times. There is a lot of history behind each and every bottle," he says.
In fact in the hope of creating an interest in collecting vintage bottles and also to get other people who enjoy collecting bottles and stoneware together ( he knows 5- 6 other people), Kamat decided to start the Goa Vintage Bottle Collectors Club on social media two years ago. "However usually I get more enquiries of people who are interested in buying rather than asking to join the club," he says.
The thought of converting this and his other collections, including that of his dads (who collects wrist watches) into a museum has crossed his mind, butthis is still a distant possibility.

5 ways to survive Junior's birthday party on football Saturday
by Clay Travis October 10, 2013, 5:00 am
Videos by OutKick
A day is coming when college football will be threatened — by your kid's birthday party. Don't get me wrong. I love my 3-year-old son. He's more than I will ever deserve. But his birthday is in October. And when you're a college football-addicted Southerner, that causes problems. Get over it, you say. It's one Saturday. True. But he has friends. And they have fall birthdays. And mamas view birthday parties like their own weddings. You're not getting out of it.
It's bad enough to go to your kid's friend's birthday party any time of the year. Standing around talking to people you care nothing about except that your kids are the same age? Dreadful. But during football? The worst. Already this fall I've twice been drug away from the ESPN (ahem, I mean FoxSports 1, command center). Party No. 3 is on the docket this Saturday.
The first encounter was not a problem. It was early in the year. I watched my Clemson Tigers dismantle S.C. State and then took Junior to the party at 4 p.m.
But I learned an important lesson by watching what NOT to do. As the kiddos ran wild around the house, I settled in with the other dads, a clan of Dawgs die-hards, to watch Georgia dick around with some Texas directional school. You can see it now, dads huddled around the tube. Moms keeping the kids from killing each other as they plotted how to kill their husbands later.
At one point my buddy was so distracted by the game that he missed the first half of "Happy Birthday" and barely got the camera turned on in time for the candles. My wife told me later his wife was pissed — as in there-won't-be-any-more-kids-to-have-birthdays-for-a-good-long-while pissed.
So when my son's toddler tip-off came around during the Clemson vs. Syracuse game (and the Georgia-Tennessee ACL-fest) I was prepared for the challenge.
Here are five DOs and DON'Ts to survive college football season birthday parties.
1. DO get involved with the planning
Your first reaction to birthday party plans is to just rubber stamp every detail and every purchase under $50. "Sounds good, honey." Do not do this. Get involved. Look up the football schedule and plan accordingly. The big CBS game is probably on at 3:30 p.m., so suggest a 10 a.m. party. You'll miss Lee Corso's picks. You'll probably feel better about yourself. And it leaves plenty of time to cleanup and find a TV before kickoff.
Can't make it happen? Suggest a Sunday afternoon party. Admit it, you only care about the NFL for fantasy anyways. You can track that on your phone in between asking your uptight neighbor, again, what he thinks about fall fertilizers. Ugh.
2. DON'T schedule a road trip
If the party and the game are going to coincide, you need to play that game at home. This is no time for a road trip to the nearby state park for a big cookout. You need your wifi, your various TVs and the friendly confines of your home to juggle Duck, Duck Goose! and Johnny F-ing Football.
If it's another kid's party at some remote location, find an excuse not to go. But doing this after you already turned on the noon game won't fly. By Thursday morning, you already need to be laying the groundwork about how busy you are fixing things on that honey-do list this Saturday.
3. DO recruit a scapegoat
This is crucial. If you want to get laid between now and the Sugar Bowl, then Uncle Verne's chortling in the background of the party to be someone else's fault.
The way I see it, you've got two options. Option No. 1 is someone from her side of the family. Maybe your father-in-law or brother-in-law. Chances are they can get away with parking it on the couch to watch the game instead of helping grill hot dogs. Mama might be annoyed, but hey, it won't be your fault if they just won't turn off the TV. Meanwhile you're just trying to share some quality time with her dad or brother. You didn't even notice Jadeveon Clowney standing over there on the sideline on third down and long.
Option No. 2 is your irresponsible, unmarried SEC fan friend from work. Your wife already hates him. So when he shows up and starts flipping through the scores, yammering about the problem with Bama's O-line, it's just par for the course. You can even go ask him to turn down the volume, and pause to see another Bulldog shred his knee.
4. DON'T watch on your phone
This is way too obvious. You're supposed to be celebrating the birth of your child — the day your wife suffered for hours in a hospital bed because you couldn't keep your pants on. You can't be that guy in the corner staring into an iPhone. You think this is an easy solution. No, it's an easy ticket to the dog house.
But you CAN volunteer to take pictures. With your phone. "Smile, kids! Say, cheese!" Now check that score. Take some video of the Lightning McQueen cake and candles. Now pull up that highlight clip. Boom. You're making memories and memorizing the box score at the half.
5. DO give it 110 percent
This might be the most important tactic. Get up early. Cut the grass. Wash the dishes. Take out the trash. Go pick up the balloons. And do it with a smile. Build such a big lead that you can pull the starters by halftime.
Once the party starts you're a hero. When you disappear for 10 minutes to the garage to find some tape, no one will notice that you spent most of that time watching Tajh Boyd and Sammy Watkins dismantle the 'Cuse secondary. Light those candles, sing like you mean it. Then slip away to see Tennessee fumble it away in OT while Grandma's scooping ice cream.
You're World's Greatest Dad and your fanhood remains intact. Happy Birthday, indeed.

"Den of Thieves" Gets Sequel with Gerard Butler, Director Christian Gudegast Returning
By Edward Douglas on February 13, 2018 2 - FILM NEWS
Probably one of the bigger surprise hits of January was STXfilms' Den of Thieves, starring Gerard Butler. On the surface, it looked like another typical heist film which we've seen a million times before, but the movie showed remarkable staying power, as it grossed $41 million domestically and remained in the top 10 for four weeks.
It's looking like the movie is doing well enough for STX Entertainment to greenlight a sequel, which will be written and directed by Christian Gudegast, who also wrote the sequel London has Fallen for Butler and Vin Diesel's A Man Apart.
O'Shea Jackson, Jr. is still in negotiations but Butler, Gudegast, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson as well as producers Tucker Tooley and Mark Canton are set to return. DEN OF THIEVES 2 will be financed by Diamond Film Production with STX Entertainment distributing worldwide.
The sequel will follow Butler's Big Nick as he hunts down Donnie (Jackson, Jr.) through the streets of Europe, as the latter gets involved with diamond thieves and the "Panther mafia" who want to commit a large diamond exchange heist.
Canton and Tooley are producing the sequel with Butler and Alan Siegel's production company G-base and Curtis Jackson's G-Unit Film & Television, Inc.
the original Den of Thieves cost a reported $30 million with $25 million of that covered by Diamond Films, but 70% of the budget was made back through pre-sales and tax incentives. The film grossed $57 million globally so far with 35 markets in which the film has yet opened. Den of Thieves opened in the UK last weekend where it became the first of STX's films to gross more than a million pounds.
One presumes that the announcement of a sequel while the film is still in theaters will help drive up interest in seeing the movie that has given Warner Bros. some serious competition for their own male-driven action film 12 Strong. The two movies have been neck-and-neck ever since they opened in mid-January.
Before then, Butler, who is repped by CAA and Alan Siegel Entertainment, will return for the three-quel Angel Has Fallen, directed by Ric Roman Waugh and co-starring Morgan Freeman and Jada Pinkett Smith. He'll also once again provide his voice for the DreamWorks Animation animated three-quel How to Train Your Dragon 3. Butler's also appearing with Kate Winslet in an action movie called Naya Legend of the Gold Dolphin for Magic Factory Productions, plus he just finished filming Keepers, which doesn't have U.S. distribution as of yet.
Chief Film Critic Drew McWeeny HATED Den of Thieves, possibly because it was over two hours long, so try to keep that in mind for the sequel, Mr. Gudegast. (I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm definitely curious now, knowing that STX want to make a sequel.)
Gudegast and Tolley are repped by WME and Management 360 with Gudegast also repped by Patrick Napp, while "50 Cent" and G-Unit are with APA, Stephen Savva and Eric Feig. Jackson Jr. is also with WME, while Diamond Film Productions is repped by Glenn D. Feig of Reder & Feig LLP.

Camilla Blown Away… Biden 'Loudly' Emits Methane Gas
November 7, 2021 8:48 pm by IWB
The Duchess of Cornwall has reportedly been telling close associates President Joe Biden made his own contribution to global supplies of natural gas when he farted "loudly" in front of her at the Glasgow COP26 climate conference.
Camilla was apparently blown away by the smelly incident and "hasn't stopped talking about it" since: "It was long and loud and impossible to ignore," an insider told the Mail on Sunday.
Ironically he has earlier pledged that one of the most important things society faces in the near term is to "reduce our methane emissions as quickly as possible."

Here is the sum of all his polls. The bear market that will not end.


If you're not able to be there in person, you will have the opportunity to experience the energy anywhere around the world, as Pole Folder will be sharing the live recordings on his FRISKY show, Destinations.
I've played in Club NL for many years now and this is the first time we've established a real residency. The Rose Noire name reflects the type of music we will deliver during the events. Dark and emotional. It's the spirit of the night.
Club NL has been a great experience right from the start. I played there a few years ago for the ADE and came back like 3 years ago. On each gig I could see more and more the fact that the crowd who comes to this club, comes for the music. As soon as the people enter the club they go to dance floor and connect with the DJ. It became quickly one of my favorite places to play.
Every gig is a great memory, but I will always remember the last party we did with Jerry Van Schie (Groove Collection) who passed away sadly a few months after. It was a very special night with Danny Howells and the vibe was at the same time sad as we knew that Jerry was sick, but positive and full of love. The ADE nights are always special as it's always a great time to meet people from all around the world. It's pretty hard to collect one particular moment as every gig has been special so far.
I played for the last 7 years mainly with Ableton. Using Novation controllers, iPads, keyboards and sometimes guitar and trumpet. I'll start now to play with a new combination of Traktor and Ableton all linked. This is, I feel, the right time to increase the possibilities and reinvent a new way to play.
The DJs and myself have the possibility to play the music we love without any pressure, in a place where the crowd is fully ready to play along. This is the perfect moment to build the night they way we like it and to share our vision of an intimate dance floor. The club combines a cozy atmosphere with a real party vibe. All combined I think we will have something special. Can't wait for it.
Catch the first night on Feburary 9th & stay tuned to hear the live recording on Destinations.

Noren faces Morrison after beating Carlsson in quarterfinals
NORTH BERWICK, Scotland (AP) Alex Noren advanced to the Paul Lawrie Match Play final with a 3 and 2 defeat of James Morrison on Saturday.
The Swede went 4 up after 7 holes at Archerfield before losing Nos. 9 and 10.
Noren faces Anthony Wall in Sunday's final after the Englishman sank a tricky putt to beat countryman Oliver Fisher on the fourth playoff hole.
Noren has been favorite following the exits of top-seeded Chris Wood and Matt Fitzpatrick in the round of 16. He is chasing his second European Tour win in Scotland in the space of a month after winning the Scottish Open at Castle Stuart in July.
Earlier Saturday, Noren defeated compatriot Johan Carlsson 4 and 2 in the quarterfinals with an eagle on No. 6.
''It was one of those days where everything goes your way,'' Noren said after beating Carlsson.
Wall finished 2 up against South African Haydn Porteous in the quarterfinals.


Somerville, MA Federal Realty Investment Trust (FRT) celebrated the launch of construction on 455 Grand Union Blvd. at Assembly Row with Somerville mayor Joseph Curtatone and PUMA North America CEO Bob Philion. PUMA has signed a lease for 150,000 s/f to anchor the new 300,000 s/f retail and office building as the company's North American headquarters. This celebration marks the launch of Phase 3 of the development, which also includes a new 24-story, 500-unit apartment building with ground floor retail space, across from the Assembly Sq. MBTA T station.
Beyond Phase 3, Federal Realty has five more acres of developable land that has been entitled to accommodate up to 1.5 million s/f of office and/or lab development.
At completion of Phase 3, Assembly Row will include over 55 shops, 22 restaurants, 1,514 residential units, over 1.1 million s/f of Class A office space, and The Row Hotel, a 158-room Marriott Autograph Collection Hotel, which opened in 2018.
As part of Federal Realty's partnership with the city, Phase 3 is expected to generate 600 construction jobs and 900 permanent office jobs. In addition to annual taxes, the project will yield $5.6 million in building permit fees and the contribution of $12 million over the next several years to the creation of affordable housing in the city.
Designed by Jacobs, the 13-story Class A office building with 550 dedicated parking spaces and approximately 25,000 s/f of ground floor retail will be home to PUMA North America's new headquarters. PUMA is expected to occupy 455 Grand Union Blvd. in early 2021 with 450 employees relocating from its current offices in Boston and Westford, Mass. 455 Grand Union Blvd. is now under construction and over 50% pre-leased. Cranshaw Construction is the general contractor and Copley Wolff Design Group is the landscape architect for the project. The neighborhood's existing office space at 450 Artisan Way is 100% leased. Additionally, Partners Healthcare is headquartered at Assembly Row with 730,000 s/f of office space.
"We're excited to have officially broken ground on the new headquarters of PUMA North America," said Bob Philion, president and CEO of PUMA North America.

NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Physics Chapter 1 Physical World
Topics and Subtopics in NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Physics Chapter 1 Physical World:
Section Name Topic Name
1 Physical World
1.1 What is physics?
1.2 Scope and excitement of physics
1.3 Physics, technology and society
1.4 Fundamental forces in nature
1.5 Nature of physical laws
QUESTIONS FROM TEXTBOOK SOLVED
Question 1. 1. Some of the most profound statements on the nature of science have come from Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientists of all time. What do you think did Einstein mean when he said: "The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible"?
Answer: The whole of physical world is complex in nature. The biological world has its own complexities. Moreover, vastly different orders of magnitudes are involved in space, time and mass. Inspite of all this, almost all the physical phenomena can be expressed in terms of few basic laws. When viewed in this context, Einstein's statement becomes very clear.
Question 1. 2. "Every great physical theory starts as a hearsay and ends as a dogma". Give some examples from the history of science of the validity of this incisive remark.
Answer: A common observation in our daily life is that light travels in straight line. When Huygens propounded his wave theory, it was against the accepted belief. However, soon it became a dogma as reflection, refraction etc., could be successfully explained on the basis of wave theory. When photoelectric effect was discovered then it was found that wave theory of light cannot explain the phenomena and we came to a conclusion that light truely has dual characteristic. It may behave both as wave and a particle.We may consider other similar examples from the history of science.
Question 1. 3. "Politics is the art of the possible". Similarly, "Science is the art of the soluble". Explain this beautiful aphorism on the nature and practice of science.
Answer: Science is a systematised study of observations. A scientist patiently analyses these observations and comes out with certain laws. As an illustration, Tycho Brahe worked for twenty long years to make observations on planetary motions. It is from this huge reservoir of observations that Kepler formulated his three famous laws of planetary motion. Thus, science is the art of the soluble just as politics is the art of the possible.
Question 1. 4. Though India now has a large base in science and technology, which is fast expanding, it is still a long way from realising its potential of becoming a world leader in science. Name some important factors, which in your view have hindered the advancement of science in India.
Answer:Some of the important factors which have hindered the growth of science in India are given below:
Lock of infrastructure and funds for quality research work in science.
Science education is neither properly oriented nor directed. It needs specific directions depending on our requirements.
The rural based science education is nearly non-existent so that majority of population is deprived of the benefits of advancements in science and technology.
Poor pay scales and other facilities to scientists as compared to administrators.
Indian society is full of superstitions and is highly traditional. Therefore, they are slow in adopting the new scientific trends.
There is practically no co-ordination between the researchers and the industrialists. The industrialists are the actual consumers of new research and technology. The industrialists of this country have little confidence in the ability of the Indian scientists.
Question 1. 5. No physicist has ever "seen" an electron. Yet, all physicists believe in the existence of electrons. An intelligent but superstitious man advances this analogy to argue that 'ghosts' exist even though no one has 'seen' one. How will you refute his argument?
Answer: Many phenomena which depend upon the existence of electrons have been predicted and actually observed in everyday life. There is no phenomenon which can be explained on the basis that ghosts exist though they are not seen. So, obviously, the comparison between two situations does not make any sense.
Question 1. 6. The shells of crabs found around a particular coastal location in Japan seem mostly to resemble the legendary face of a Samurai. Given below are two explanations of this observed fact. Which of these strikes you as a scientific explanation?
(a) A tragic sea accident several centuries ago drowned a young Samurai. As a tribute to his bravery, nature through its inscrutable ways immortalised his face by imprinting it on the crab shells in that area.
(b) After the sea tragedy, fishermen in that area, in a gesture of honour to their dead hero, let free any crab shell caught by them which accidentally had a shape resembling the face of a Samurai. Consequently, the particular shape of the crab shell survived longer and therefore in course of time the shape was genetically propagated. This is an example of evolution by artificial selection.
[Note: This interesting illustration taken from Carl Sagan's 'The Cosmos' highlights the fact that often strange and inexplicable facts which on the first sight appear 'supernatural' actually turn out to have simple scientific explanations. Try to think out other examples of this kind],
Answer: (a) The explanation given in option (b) strikes as a scientific explanation.
Question 1. 7. The industrial revolution in England and Western Europe more than two centuries ago was triggered by some key scientific and technological advances. What were these advances?
Answer: Some of the key advances during that period in science and technology include the application of heat and thermodynamics to form the steam engine. Discovery of electricity helped in designing dynamos and motors. Study of gravitation led to the study of motion and making guns and cannons. This gave power in the hands of western countries and they ruled over rest of the world. The discovery of explosives not only helped army but also mineral exploration. These are some examples of scientific and technological advances which helped England and Europe to have their prominent positions in the world. In fact, the progress in chemistry, physics and natural sciences brought the industrial revolution in England and western Europe.
Question 1. 8. It is often said that the world is witnessing now a second industrial revolution, which will transform the society as radically as did the first. List some key contemporary areas of science and technology, which are responsible for this revolution.
Answer: Some key contemporary areas of science and technology, which are chiefly responsible for a new industrial revolution taking place now and likely to take place in near future are: (i) Design of super-fast computers.
Developments in the field of space sciences.
Development of super-conducting materials at room temperature.
Advancements in the field of electronics, information technology and nanotechnology.
Question 1.9. Write in about 100 words a fiction piece based on your speculation on the science and technology of the twenty-second century.
The development on the front of genetic engineering and biotechnology will include:
(a) Production of man, animals and plants with specific characteristics.
(b) High yielding variety of plants and specific crops would be sown.
Multiple use of laser in various fields or even more developed device which will transform the world. Man would treat himself as the king of universe.
Man may travel in space with unthinkable speeds and transportation would be totally revolutionised.
(iv) Man would travel deeper into the space and may settle on other planets, befriend strange creatures from other worlds or may wage a war with them.
In the field of communication, 22nd century has many surprises in store. Two persons sitting on the globe or on moon would talk on phone face to face.
Man may partially conquer diseases and slow down ageing.
Question 1. 10. Attempt to formulate your 'moral' views on the practice of science. Imagine yourself stumbling upon a discovery, which has great academic interest but is certain to have nothing but dangerous •consequences for the human society. How, if at all, will you resolve your dilemma?
Answer: A scientist aims at truth. A scientific discovery reveals a truth of nature. So, any discovery, good or bad for mankind, must be made public. A discovery which appears dangerous today may become useful to the mankind some time later. In order to prevent misuse of scientific technology, we must build up a strong public opinion. Scientists should in fact take up two roles – to discover truth and to prevent its misuse.
Question 1. 11. Science, like any knowledge, can be put to good or bad use, depending on the user. Given below are some of the applications of science. Formulate your views on whether the particular application is good, bad or something that cannot be so clearly categorised:
(a) Mass vaccination against small pox to curb and finally eradicate this disease from the population. (This has already been successfully done in India.)
(b) Television for eradication of illiteracy and for mass communication of news and ideas.
(c) Prenatal sex determination.
(d) Computers for increase in work efficiency.
(e) Putting artificial satellites into orbits around the Earth.
(f) Development of nuclear weapons.
(g) Development of new and powerful techniques of chemical and biological warfare.
(h) Purification of water for drinking.
(i) Plastic surgery.
(j) Cloning.
Answer: (a) Good, because it helped in eradicating a dreaded disease from the Earth.
(b) Good, because it helps in literacy campaign and is an effective method of mass communication and entertainment.
(c) Bad, because it leads to practice of abortion in case of female foetus.
(d) Good, because it increases work efficiency.
(e) Good, because it helped in worldwide communication process.
(f) Bad, because nuclear weapons may cause mass destruction of mankind.
(g) Bad, because these techniques may be used for destructive purposes.
(h) Good, because pure water supply will improve the health of people.
(i) Plastic surgery is something which cannot be classified as either good or bad. The technique helps to remove certain type of deformations in needy persons. But plastic surgery for cosmetic purposes is not good.
(j) Cloning is bad because it has the potential to destroy the normal family life of human society.
Question 1. 12. India has had a long and unbroken tradition of great scholarship in mathematics, astronomy, linguistics, logic and ethics. Yet, in parallel with this, several superstitious and obscurantistic attitudes and practices flourished in our society and unfortunately continue even today among many educated people too. How will you use your knowledge of science to develop strategies to counter these attitudes?
Answer: In order to popularise scientific explanations of everyday phenomena, mass media like radio, television and newspapers should be used. We shall use our knowledge of science to educate masses and shall try to tell them the real cause of an event so that their superstitious beliefs are rejected.
Question 1. 13. Though the law gives women equal status in India, many people hold unscientific views on a woman's innate nature, capacity and intelligence; and in practice give them a secondary status and role. Demolish this view using scientific arguments, and by quoting examples of great women in science and other spheres; and persuade yourself and others that, given equal opportunity, women are on par with men.
Answer: There is no difference in the capacity of women and men as far as work, intelligence, decision making is concerned. The nature makes little difference in man and woman in their anatomy and feeling.
The nutrition content of prenatal and postnatal diet contributes a lot towards the development of human mind. If equal opportunities are afforded to both men and women, then the female mind will be as efficient as male mind.
The list of successful women from various fields is very large. Names of Kalpana Chawla, Sarojini Naidu, Madame Curie, Indira Gandhi, Margaret Thatcher, Mother Teresa, Florence Nightingale drawn from fields varying from science to sociology are very well-known to the world.
Question 1. 14. "It is more important to have beauty in the equations of physics than to have them agree with experiments." The great British physicist P.A.M. Dirac held this view. Criticize this statement. Look out for some equations and results in this book which strike you as beautiful.
Answer: Generally it is considered that physics is a dry subject and its main aim is to give qualitative and quantitative treatment i.e., any derived relation or equation must be verified through experimentation. It is felt that truth of an equation is more important than the simplicity, wonderfulness, symmetry or beauty of the equation. But frankly, if a relation is true to experimentation and simultaneously it is simple, interesting, symmetrical, wonderful or beautiful, it will certainly add to the charm of the relation.
Question 1.15. Though the statement quoted above may by disputed, most physicists do have a feeling that the great laws of physics are at once simple and beautiful. Some of the notable physicists, besides Dirac, who have articulated this feeling are: Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, Chandrasekhar and Feynman. You are urged to make special efforts to get access to the general books and writings by these and other great masters of physics. Their writings are truly inspiring.
Answer: General books on Physics make an interesting reading. Students should consult a good Library to go through some of these immortal works. 'Surely you are joking, Mr. Feynman' by Feynman is one of the books that would assume the students. Some other interesting books are: Physics for the Inquiring Mind by EM Rogers; Physics, Foundations and Frontiers by G. Gamow; Thirty Years That Shook Physics by G. Gamow; Physics Can Be Fun by Perelman.
Question 1.16. Textbooks on science may give you a wrong impression that studying science is dry and all too serious and that scientists are absent-minded introverts who never laugh or grin. This image of science and scientista is patently false. Scientists, like any other group of humans, have their share of humorists, and many have led their lives with a great sense of fun and adventure, even as they seriously pursued their scientific work. Two great physicists of this genre are Gamow and Feynman. You will enjoy reading their books listed in the Bibliography.
Answer: The statement "scientists, like any other group of humans, have their share of humorists" is true. We can cite the example of many scientists who were fun loving, adventurists, jovial. One can add the name of C.V. Raman who enjoyed music in addition to doing serious scientific works and so was Homi Jahagir Bhaba. Students should go through the listed books of bibliography to visualise actual image of science and scientists.

The American Historical Association is committed to advocating on behalf of historians and the broader coalition of the humanities. Since February, the Association has urged attention and action on a number of issues to ensure that the history discipline retains its autonomy, integrity, and centrality to civic engagement.
AHA President John R. McNeill expressed reservations to cOAlition S, an international bloc of research funders, about the application of Plan S to the humanities. While the Association supports democratizing research and values the goals of Plan S to achieve greater open access, it voiced concern regarding the initiative's execution and impact. Many European scholars who receive funding from agencies that have adopted Plan S would be unable to publish in US-based journals, including the American Historical Review, and independent scholars would face onerous article-processing charges. The absence of these diverse voices would compromise the integrity of such publications.
In February, the Association contacted László Lovász, president of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, to express solidarity in the face of governmental reforms threatening the autonomy of the academy and its Institute of History. Recent stipulations from the Hungarian Ministry for Innovation and Technology jeopardize academic freedom by requiring ministerial approval for research funding. The separation of scholarship and state politics is vital to the academy's international reputation and for independent academic inquiry.
James Grossman, AHA executive director, contacted Mayor John B. O'Reilly Jr. of Dearborn, Michigan, to vehemently object to his decision to prevent circulation of the most recent issue of The Dearborn Historian and to terminate the contract of Bill McGraw, the journal's editor. O'Reilly took these actions to prevent the dissemination of an article in the journal examining Henry Ford's anti-Semitism. Encouraging O'Reilly to reinstate McGraw and to resume distribution of the journal, Grossman emphasized the gravity of suppressing uncomfortable truths and punishing historians for unbiased inquiry.
In March, the AHA alerted its members and other contacts in California about a new proposal from the California State University's General Education Task Force to sharply cut civic education and history requirements for graduation. The Association urged recipients to contact state representatives and to push for the preservation of a comprehensive civic study of American history and government.
The Association joined over 30 other organizations to urge Alaskan state officials to reconsider precipitous budget cuts to higher education. The 41 percent reduction in state support for the University of Alaska would have profound, far-reaching economic and social consequences for the state's constituents, further shifting costs of higher education to students and their families while all but dooming the university's faculty and staff to extensive layoffs. With support from the AHA, the American Council of Learned Societies compelled officials to reexamine its responsibilities to fund higher education.
Devon Reich is operations and marketing assistant at the AHA.


Shares jumped more than 6% following its earnings release. Why was the market so happy?
Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI) reported earnings this week. How did the company fare in the second quarter? Growing diluted earnings per share 18% year over year, the company appears to have had a successful quarter. But let's dig in further and see what it all means in the long term.
The second largest operating segment by net revenue, building efficiency will become the largest when the automotive interiors business spinoff is complete. It's important, therefore, to keep a close watch on the segment, for it will be a large part of the company's new identity.
On the Q1 conference call, management warned that difficulty securing federal jobs and weakness in China and the Middle East could impede second quarter growth, resulting in sales growth between 4.5% to 5.5%. Actually, the company reported weakness in Europe and Latin America during the quarter, but it was just a blip on the radar -- the segment's net revenue increased by a whopping 33%. Systems and service contributed largely to the growth: Orders in North America increased by 7% and Asia grew by 9%.
The top line was only one of several bright spots for the segment. Growing 2%, the backlog now stands at $4.7 billion -- important since it reported no growth during the first quarter. Segment margin also reported growth, improving by 50 basis points. The increase in sales plus the margin expansion contributed to segment income climbing an impressive 42% (43% if you exclude foreign exchange) year over year.
Playing second fiddle to building efficiency, the power solutions segment reported Q2 net revenue level with that from the same period last year.
Although the company reported higher volumes in the Americas and Asia, volumes in Europe declined. In fact, the company delivered a record 2.6 million batteries to China in the quarter -- a 60% increase year over year.
The company reported 18% growth in global shipments for its AGM batteries -- located in stop-start vehicles. In an investor presentation last December, management noted that it is looking to increasing AGM sales to drive sales growth for the segment between 9% to 11% for FY 2016. In the same presentation, management forecast AGM sales -- an important piece to the long term plan for the segment -- more than doubling from 12.4 million in FY 2015 to 26.9 million in FY 2020.
Also staying about level, segment margin rose 10 basis points year over year. Segment income was also level with the same period last year; excluding foreign exchange, though, it grew by 3%.
In addition to organic growth, Johnson Controls is counting on a joint venture with Hitachi, merger with Tyco International, and spin off of its automotive interiors business to help effect the company's transformation. Though it didn't release specific figures -- citing incremental revenues -- management noted that the joint venture with Hitachi seems to be moving in the right direction. According to Alex Molinaroli, Johnson Controls chairman, president, and CEO: "In Building Efficiency, the Johnson Controls-Hitachi joint venture is exceeding our expectations."
Regarding Tyco, management maintained that the merger is expected to be completed by Oct. 1, and it followed suit with the automotive interiors spin off into the new entity, Adient. Details of Adient's financials have not been released, though management expects to file them in Form 10 with the SEC by the end of April. Confirming that separations costs of $400 million to $600 million for FY 2016 are in line with previous estimates, management expects the separation to be completed on October 31, 2016.
Although overall revenue dropped 2% year over year, investors should shrug this off; the decline primarily stemmed from an 18% drop in net revenue for the automotive experience segment -- a segment that, presumably, will no longer exist by the end of the year. Excluding the segment, net revenue from what will be left, building efficiency and power solutions, grew by a combined 20% -- a reassuring sign for long-term investors.
If investors weren't pleased enough with the company's Q2 performance, perhaps they will be with management's revised guidance for the year. Raising it from diluted EPS of $3.70 to $3.90, management is forecasting FY 2016 diluted EPS of $3.85 to $4.00.

Will Smith: The Stuff of Legend
Scott Foundas December 12, 2007
There are two momentous performances in the Darwinian horror fable I Am Legend. One is given by the movie's star, Will Smith, whom I'll get to in a minute. The other is given by the movie's practical and digital visual effects — not the ones that bring to life a nocturnal army of shrieking, carnivorous beasties (though those are by no means unimpressive), but rather the ones that render a near-future New York City that has been "ground zero" for a different kind of terror attack — Mother Nature's. Three years on from a pandemic in which a "miracle" cure for cancer mutated into an incurable, rabieslike plague, the isle of Manhattan has regressed into a state of frontier wilderness, and the images rendered by director Francis Lawrence, cinematographer Andrew Lesnie (who shot the Lord of the Rings trilogy) and visual-effects supervisor Janek Sirrs (a veteran of the Matrix films) have an awesome, iconic power. Driverless cars choke the bridges. Tree roots and tall grass protrude through the surface of Seventh Avenue. And the streets of Times Square bustle with a new sort of tourist — herds of wild deer stampeding through on the run from .?.?. something.
Those somethings are the Infected: human survivors transformed by the virus into ashen, uncomprehending predators who have effectively laid waste to the 1 percent of humanity genetically immune to the plague. By night they take to the streets, unleashing their primordial howls like bats desperate to return to hell. By day, hindered by a vampiric resistance to sunlight, they roost in the shadows, temporarily ceding control of the city to the one remaining noninfected human, the scientist Robert Neville, who has lost his wife and daughter to the virus and who now spends every waking hour searching for a cure. Those, roughly, are the events of Richard Matheson's 1954 novel I Am Legend, which has been adapted for the screen twice before — first as the Italian-made The Last Man on Earth (1964) with Vincent Price in the lead, and later as The Omega Man (1971), a piece of early '70s psychedelia that cast Charlton Heston as Neville and turned his adversaries into trench-coated social revolutionaries with a penchant for hep-cat patois.
In Lawrence's version, which was adapted by screenwriter Mark Protosevich (Poseidon) and revised considerably by Oscar winner Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind), Will Smith steps into Neville's shoes, and for the first time an actor has been asked (or allowed) to play the character as something more than God's lonely, angry man; to show a full range of complex emotions. For much of the movie, it's literally a one-man show, as Neville goes through his daily routines, tearing about the empty Manhattan streets in his strategically product-placed Mustang Shelby, raiding abandoned apartments for nonperishable supplies, and trapping the occasional Infected so as to have a new trial subject for his laboratory. On the way to "work," Neville also pops into the neighborhood video store, where he strikes up conversations with the department store mannequins he's arranged in the aisles and behind the checkout counter. Outside of his trusty German shepherd, these plasticine beings are the closest Neville now comes to meaningful interaction, and Smith plays these scenes with such yearning and tenderness that what might have seemed cornball is instead exceptionally touching (a good deal more so, in fact, than the man-mannequin bonding of Lars and the Real Girl).
Moment for moment, Smith is simply dazzling, and for all the undeniably impressive work the actor has done on his physique for this role, what's most appealing about Smith is his native intelligence — the way you see him thinking his way through a role — and his capacity for human weakness. Watch him, especially, in the scene where he nurses his wounded canine companion, and later, when he tells fellow disease-free survivor Anna (City of God star Alice Braga) that he refuses to abandon his "post" and follow her to a supposed survivor's colony in (where else?) Vermont. If he just stays put in his lab, testing one vaccine after another, he's sure he can put things right, he tells her. There's a manic edge to Neville by that point — the sense of a rational man confounded by forces beyond himself — and Smith makes you feel every inch of his impotent rage. In what has been a pretty remarkable career up to now, it's this performance, I think, that fully affirms Smith as one of the great leading men of his generation.
If, as a movie, I Am Legend is less stylistically mind blowing and intellectually ambitious than last year's Yuletide dystopia, Children of Men, it's not far off. The screenplay shrewdly condenses the pre-plague back story to staccato flashbacks and manages to shift the emphasis of the novel — which was about how Neville came to be seen as a kind of monster by a new race of nonvampire mutants — without diluting its power. Here, the crux of the narrative is a timely dialectical argument between a man, Neville, who puts his faith in science, and a somewhat fanatical woman, Anna, who puts hers in God. Lawrence's direction, too, is more subdued and artful than you expect to find in a high-ticket holiday blockbuster, notwithstanding a smattering of cheap shock edits and sound effects used to goose the audience into ?an easy fright. More often, Lawrence (a music video veteran whose only previous feature credit is the Keanu Reeves demon-hunting romp, Constantine) takes things slow and easy, staging much of the film in long, dialogue-free handheld camera shots that use space, production design and intricately layered sound effects to deliver us into Neville's desolate existence. But when the time comes for the inevitable showdowns between Neville and the Infected, Lawrence is no slouch, including one ingenious standoff in which a winnowing band of daylight is all that separates Neville and his pooch from almost certain doom. If I've saved mention of those scenes for last, it's only because Lawrence, like Peter Jackson and James Cameron, is among the few filmmakers working with full access to the digital paint box who seems to understand how those tools can be used to magnify the human dimension of a movie instead of extinguishing it. He's like a wizard who turns metal into flesh.

Immunofluorescence analysis of HeLa cell using PCGF6 Polyclonal Antibody. Blue: DAPI for nuclear staining.
The protein encoded by this gene contains a RING finger motif, which is most closely related to those of polycomb group (PcG) proteins RNF110/MEL-18 and BMI1. PcG proteins are known to form protein complexes and function as transcription repressors. This protein has been shown to interact with some PcG proteins and act as a transcription repressor. The activity of this protein is found to be regulated by cell cycle dependent phosphorylation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.

Windows 7 vs. Google Chrome: The Better OS
Difference between Windows 7 and Google Chrome OS
For a number of years, Windows was the only real operating system of choice for PC users and while a number of claimants to the throne have been introduced to varying effects, none have managed to even make a dent in Windows formidable hold on the industry. With the introduction of Google Chrome OS however, many feel that Windows has finally met its match. Can Google Chrome OS in fact stand up to the current Microsoft flagship Windows 7? Let's see!

In terms of applications, Windows 7 definitely has the edge over Google Chrome OS, which will have a lot of catching up to online doctors if it is to compete with Microsoft's own Office suite. While Google has made remarkable strides with its Google Applications, it still can't quite measure up to Office in spite of its innovative platform. Microsoft's reign over the software industry is largely due to the vast popularity of Windows, as well as the predominance of Office. Most businesses and home users still prefer Office by a wide margin and Windows even dominates the server side with its Exchange and SharePoint services, both of which rely heavily on Microsoft's Outlook, Word and Excel programs.
The Operating System
Google Chrome's main claim to fame is its ability to actually separate the platform from the operating system, a goal which was earlier undertaken by Sun Microsystems. The thrust of Google's approach is moving towards establishing "Web Standards" as its platform's basis, along with promises of "openness" and "interoperability." As for Windows 7, it seems that its main objective now is to recover from the less-than-favorable response to Vista. With the release of Windows 7, Microsoft hopes to emphasize its strengths by providing consumers with applications that they want, while keeping performance and system security in mind.
The Good and The Bad
Aside from the previously mentioned need to develop more applications that can compete with Microsoft's own offerings, the main obstacle that Google Chrome OS will have to surmount is the impression that it won't be a "real" OS as much as it will be a platform for which to optimize the use of Google Apps. In addition, it may well suffer the same fate that Microsoft did with regard to issues with backwards-compatibility. Microsoft's biggest challenge is of course precisely that it actually has some real competition now in the form of Google Chrome OS. Whether it can manage to retain its hold on the market remains to be seen, but this early on it appears that Google has a long way to go before it can catch up. As it is, Google's hope lies in developing new applications for its system, and making sure that it is as easy to use as the Chrome browser.
