Solar radio bursts are intrinsically linked to the motion of their emitting source through the coronal and heliospheric plasma. Electron transport is mostly confined to magnetic field lines. These electrons move at a substantial fraction of the speed of light and often generate radio emission via the plasma emission process. The resulting radio bursts, such as type III bursts from electrons streaming along open field lines, are an excellent diagnostic of the environment through which they propagate. Tracing the spine of a radio burst by its peak intensity provides the frequency drift rate (e.g. Krupar et al. 2015; Azzollini et…

I went to find this article on P f i z e r that I wrote and published on December 16, 2020, only to find that it has been surreptitiously deleted by Blogger. Blogger is owned by Google, and I did always worry about this, but I believe this is the first time this has happened in my 18 years as a blogger. Luckily, I emailed a copy of each article to myself, and I still have it posted on another site. The article outlined P f i z e r ‘ s long history of killing and disabling people with its pharma…

Visual design has always been an important part of eLearning. In traditional classroom training, an instructor can explain ideas, answer questions, and guide learners through difficult concepts. In eLearning, however, the instructor is often not present. The course itself must do the work of explaining, guiding, and engaging learners. Because of this, visuals play a major role in helping learners understand the content. Good visuals can simplify complex ideas, reduce confusion, and make learning easier. Poor visuals, on the other hand, can distract learners and make courses harder to follow. For many years, eLearning designers relied heavily on stock images,…

As we are well aware, the entire universe is composed of five elements. All four elements except the space element are the prime source of all kinds of visible matter and invisible energy in themselves.An air element is a mixture of many gases. Out of these, hydrogen and methane gas are combustible by nature and serve as fuels. Oxygen gas helps the fuel to get burned.Heat produced in the burning process of these gases is one of the forms of energy. Also heavy flow of air produces wind energy.Energy is created from Heavy flows & waves of water. Earth has…

A while ago (way, way back) I wrote a few posts about things I was learning from my kids. As they approach their GCSE and A-level years, the topic of ‘what do you do next’ has risen a few times. Both have had school trips to local universities and we obviously talk across the dinner table about my work and experience in higher education, so it’s only natural they have opinions and thoughts on the question of “do you want to go to university?” What has struck me talking with them isn’t whether they want to go, it’s how they…

In the symphony of the universe, Nada Yoga (Nāda Yoga) invites you to listen within. This ancient Indian tradition, translating to “yoga of sound,” transcends mere music lessons. It’s a philosophy, a form of healing, and a powerful yogic practice that utilizes sound and vibration as a pathway to spiritual awakening. The Philosophy of Sound Nada Yoga rests on the profound belief that the entire cosmos, from the vast galaxies to the intricate workings of our bodies, vibrates with a primal sound energy. This ultimate reality is often referred to as Nada Brahman or Sabda Brahman, the source of all…

​1. Material Analysis: Benefits & Characteristics​The sole of a shoe is typically divided into the Outsole (the part that touches the ground) and the Midsole (the cushioning layer). Different materials serve different functions within these layers.​Rubber (Natural and Synthetic)​Rubber is the “gold standard” for outsoles due to its incredible resilience and grip.​Benefits: High slip resistance, extreme durability, and excellent protection against sharp objects. It is naturally waterproof and can withstand high friction without wearing down quickly. ​Usage: Best for hiking boots, work boots, and the bottom layer of athletic shoes. ​EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate)​EVA is a plastic-based foam that is…

Migrant doctors meeting   For many Hindu families living in Pakistan, the future of their daughters has long been shadowed by uncertainty. Reports of religious persecution, social discrimination, and forced conversions have created an atmosphere of fear that has pushed several families to seek safety beyond their borders. For many of them, India—linked by history, culture, and faith—represents not only a refuge but also a place where their daughters can live with dignity and security. In recent years, several Pakistani Hindu girls have been married to Indian citizens and migrated to India to join their husbands and families. To facilitate…

​An “oil compressor” typically refers to an oil-injected rotary screw compressor. Unlike a standard reciprocating air compressor that might use oil only for splash lubrication of the crankcase, an oil-injected system uses oil as a vital component of the compression cycle itself. ​How it Works ​In a rotary screw compressor, two interlocking helical rotors (male and female) spin in opposite directions. As they rotate, they draw in ambient air. ​Example: Imagine a bicycle pump. If you pump it quickly, the barrel gets hot, and the air leaks past the rubber seal if it’s dry. Now, imagine filling that pump with…

No matter how much I learn about the garden, there’s always more to know. To plug the (many!) gaps in my knowledge, I often designate my own “Year of the [Fill in the Blank]” to zoom in on a single subject. One was The Year of Ornamental Grasses. At the start, I knew almost zip. Except that I was adept at killing Japanese forest grass (Hakonechloa). By the end, I knew, well, not everything, but more. Then there was The Year of Powdery Mildew Sadly, that one chose me. Enthusiastically. Devastatingly. But I wanted to know what made it tick, and learn…

Scorpions, tough Chelicerata arachnids, well known for their association with the one of the most hostile, hottest environments on earth… deserts. But even when not living in deserts, scorpions still tend to be found in warm ecosystems, such as rainforests and savannas. However, believe it or not, there is a scorpion that braces the rather unpleasant British weather. The European yellow-tailed scorpion (Euscorpius flavicaudis), is a small black scorpion with yellow-brown legs, that is widely distributed across Europe (especially in the south), as well as Northern parts of Africa (Cloudsley-Thompson and Constantinou, 1983). As an adult, they reach sizes of…

Back in October 2014, Asha de Vos, a Sri Lankan marine biologist, took the stage at TEDGlobal to deliver a six-minute speech called “Why you should care about whale poo.” She spoke passionately about the devastating effects 200 years of whaling had on global whale populations. She argued that these animals’ importance extends far beyond their charismatic beauty. Rather, as “ecosystem engineers,” she said whales play an important role in maintaining the health of Earth’s oceans. Whales contribute to ocean health simply by being alive—and that includes pooping. As you might imagine, considering their sheer size, when a whale poops, it poops a lot! These enormous “fecal plumes” contain nutrients that serve as…

“I Slept Well… So Why Am I Still Exhausted?” You’ve had a full eight hours of sleep. You wake up, stretch, and yet—you feel foggy, heavy, and unmotivated. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, nearly half of Australian adults report feeling tired most days, even after what they believe is “enough sleep.” Modern lifestyles—late-night screens, irregular eating, mental overload—have disrupted our natural energy rhythms. Ayurveda, the 5,000-year-old science of life, offers a deeper explanation. It reminds us that rest is not only about sleep, but about how well the body digests, detoxifies,…

Fevertrees do need regular disturbance to persist. They are not a large, robust tree by any means and can easily get outcompeted by more aggressive vegetation. However, this species does have a trick that enables individuals to persist when disturbances don’t come frequent enough. Fevertree is highly clonal. Instead of producing a single trunk, it sends out numerous stems in all directions in search of a gap in the canopy. This clonal habit allows it to eek out an existence in the gaps between its more robust neighbors until disturbances return and clear things out. This clonal habit is also…

Figure 1: The grey wolf (Canis Lupus) We’ve all been there, trying to get some out of reach object only to dejectedly ask for the assistance of another. Turns out, this behavior has been with us for most of our lives. It is known that children as young as 12 months will start to point at certain objects that they desire but are, for obvious reasons, unable to obtain (Figure 2). This behaviour is known as imperative pointing and, as it turns out, you don’t even need to point to be able to do it. In fact, gaze alteration, the process…

In the world of quick fix and uniform wellness packages, Agni Ayurveda village stand apart. Our approach is rooted in one Ayurvedic truth-no two individuals are the same. Their principle is examining the patient to find its diagnosis, root cause and treatment are customized accordingly. Real healing happens only when the treatment aligns a person’s unique body, mind and lifestyle. Why Does Personalized Ayurveda Matter? Every imbalance has a different root. Two individuals is suffering from same symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations but its root cause may be different ,one can be related to cardiac and other  may be…

Thousands of devotees visit the presiding goddess Maa Lalita at Naimisharanya Dham in Uttar Pradesh every day. This temple is counted among the Siddha Shakti Peethas (powerful sacred sites of the Goddess). It is considered a highly revered temple.

During the Obama administration, the credibility of the US Centers for Disease Control went into serious decline. Though it only became evident to most how incompetent career government bureaucrats were when COVID-19 hit – they denied it was a pandemic and said the President was being xenophobic for wanting to ban travel from China(1) – those of us inside the system saw that they were long not equipped to help with much at all.

In response to questions such as ‘what plant is that?’ we need to keep in mind the uncertainty relating to hybridisation. Plants hybridise much more frequently than animals and sometimes the hybrids become fertile. The hybrids generally are intermediate between the parents, but they may themselves interbreed and/or backcross with the parents to make a ‘hybrid swarm’ consisting of plants that look somewhat like the parents. Such phenomena can be most troublesome for field botanists, as indeed they were for the ‘Father of Plant Taxonomy’ Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778). He suffered bouts of depression and melancholy, which some people think was…

How To Make A Training Module—Infographic Understanding how to make a training module is essential for Instructional Designers and L&D professionals who want to create effective, scalable learning experiences. Below is a practical step-by-step guide that explains how to make a training module that supports both learning outcomes and organizational goals. Step 1: Define The Learning Objective Every effective training module begins with a clear learning objective. The objective defines what learners should be able to do after completing it. Without this clarity, content can easily become unfocused or overly broad. Good modules focus on one specific outcome rather than…

I headed out a week prior with a friend who had never seen the rookery to scout for the event. While there, someone mentioned a bald eagle was trying to build a nest on the island. I didn’t see anything that looked big enough for a bald eagle nest. Someone pointed to what they thought it was, but in my scope I could see that it was three heron nests clustered together. But there were about three dozen great blue herons working on nests and about 50 cormorants settling into the nests. I wondered if by the time the egrets…

The daily structure at a weight loss retreat for women is part of the treatment, not a backdrop to it.

ABSTRACT Menopause is far more than a biological conclusion; it is a tectonic metamorphosis of the self. This transition marks the “Great Unbecoming,” where the body moves from the lunar governance of monthly cycles into a solar era of steady, concentrated heat. It is a period of internal alchemy—often felt as the “Crucible” of the hot flash—where the energy once reserved for potential reproduction is reclaimed and redirected inward. Integrating Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) into this transition is like introducing a master navigator to a ship lost in a storm. If menopause is a “tectonic shift,” BHRT acts as…

The air in 2026 feels a bit different for a high school graduate. If you’re standing there with a Science marksheet in your hand, you’re likely feeling a strange mix of excitement and pure, unadulterated dread. For decades, the script was simple: finish 12th, crack an entrance exam, and get a B.Tech degree. But today, with AI generating code in seconds and news cycles talking about “the end of traditional jobs,” that script feels like it needs a major rewrite. So, let’s have a real talk. Is the B.Tech full form—Bachelor of Technology—still worth four years of your life and…

Abstract A new species of Balsam, Impatiens pfutserensis S.Singh, B.Singh & M.Bhuyan, belonging to Impatiens sect. Racemosae Hook.f. & Thomson, is described herein from the Phek District of Nagaland, India. The species is distinguished by a unique combination of diagnostic characters: unwinged stems lacking swollen nodes, forward-directed marginal leaf teeth, an eight-flowered inflorescence, and pink flowers with white patches. It is further characterized by a long spur and a ridged capsule. While morphologically similar to I. stenantha Hook.f. and I. prainii Hook.f., I. pfutserensis differs from both in several key traits. Inhabiting subtropical montane forest ecosystems, the species is presented here with detailed data on its morphology, distribution, phenology, and conservation status, alongside photographic…

It’s been a while-years- since I’ve written a lengthy taxonomic article on this blog. Unsurprisingly, it will be Nepenthes focused. ;-)If you follow me on my other social media, you know that I have just returned from a botanical expedition in Sulawesi where I have observed almost all Nepenthes species from that Indonesian island. One species I couldn’t see was the the poorly known Nepenthes maryae, a species that has picked up my interest since it was first described a few years ago. I intend to see the species by myself in the very foreseeable future but in the meanwhile,…

We’ve all experienced moments when something in the body just feels off. Digestion is slower than usual. Your skin becomes more reactive. That dip in the middle of the afternoon feels more pronounced than usual, without a clear reason. You might notice bloating after a meal that normally feels fine, or a subtle heaviness that lingers in the body. Not quite fatigue, but a kind of dullness that sits just beneath the surface. Even thinking clearly can start to take more effort than it should. On their own, these shifts are easy to brush off. You adapt, push through and…

In eLearning design, visuals play a key role in shaping the learner experience. While high-quality images can boost engagement, they can sometimes compete with on-screen text and reduce readability. A simple yet highly effective solution is using blurred backgrounds.By applying a subtle blur effect to background images, instructional designers can create visually appealing courses while keeping content clear, accessible and easy to follow. What Are Blurred Backgrounds in eLearning? Blurred backgrounds involve applying a soft-focus effect to images behind text or interactive elements. This reduces visual clutter and helps learners focus on the most important information.This approach is commonly used…

It’s a traditional festival of India. Every year on January 14th, India lights up with colours, kites, and countless delicious dishes. Why? Because it’s time for Makar Sankranti—a festival that marks the sun’s transition into the zodiac sign Capricorn (Makara) and the beginning of longer days. While most Indian festivals follow the lunar calendar and shift dates each year, Makar Sankranti is uniquely solar, making it one of the few festivals that’s celebrated on a fixed date. But what’s truly fascinating is how this one festival wears a different avatar across different states. Let’s journey across India and uncover 7…

The electronics inside your phone, your car, and every satellite currently orbiting Earth share one critical weakness: heat. Push them past about 200 degrees Celsius and they start to fail. For decades, that thermal ceiling has been one of the hardest walls in engineering. A team at the University of Southern California may have just found a way around it. In a study published on March 26, 2026 in Science, researchers led by Joshua Yang, Arthur B. Freeman Chair Professor at the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and the USC…

Can you maintain and honour a landscape design after the inevitable demise of the designer and the equally inevitable decline and death of its constituent plants? At one extreme the design might be viewed as colour-by-numbers outline, where future garden carers and owners simply recolour it now and then, as per the instructions. Like for like, in terms of species composition and placement. Curve for curve, and vista for vista, in terms of outline. Nothing wanted or needed in terms of creative input. This assumes such an approach is possible. Plants grow larger, change in shape and form, and then…

Imagine escaping to an island. You’d need to outsmart new predators, seize novel food sources, and cope without escape routes—perhaps only your brain could get you through. A fascinating study published in Nature Communications now backs up that intuition with solid evidence. What did the researchers find? Scientists analyzed over 11,500 bird specimens from more than 1,900 species, including 110 island-dwelling and 1,821 mainland species, using brain size measurements to compare across environments. After accounting for differences in body size and evolutionary history, they discovered that island birds tend to have relatively larger brains than similar mainland species. By comparing…

Multilingual Desktop Publishing (DTP) plays a crucial role in localization. DTP for right-to-left (RTL) languages presents unique challenges. Languages like Arabic, Hebrew, and Urdu require special attention during the localization process and can be more complex to handle compared to left-to-right languages.The following are some of the key challenges encountered when designing and testing for RTL languages.Text Alignment – It’s not enough to simply align the text to the right; the text itself must flow from right to left.In RTL languages, the writing flows from right to left, but numbers are still read in the left-to-right order. This principle, called…

The reason for flowers is reproduction. Three major parts of a flower function to achieve this purpose. First, the gynoecium sits at the center. This is the ovule-producing portion. It’s where seeds are born. Its stigmas accept pollen produced by the second major flower part, the androecium. This part is made up of a whorl of stamens that generally surround the gynoecium, except when the gynoecium and androecium are found in separate flowers. The third major part, known as the perianth, is not essential for reproduction yet present on the majority of flowers (wind- and water-pollinated flowers tend to be…

Arthropod-like organisms termed wadudu (singular mdudu) are abundant across the planet and include multi-limbed, terrestrial taxa that resemble spiders, millipedes and insects. Spidrids are superficially spider- or crab-like animals that have adapted to deserts, coasts, woodlands and other habitats, ranging in size from less than 1 mm to 30-40 cm in diameter. Unlike arthropods, they exhibit radial symmetry, with four eyes mounted on the top of the head. They hence don’t have a ‘front’ and can move equally well in any direction.Explanations and tests. This brings me a key aspect of the book, and indeed the entire Furahan project. Van…

Dear Colleagues, We are seeking biologists, political scientists, and language scientists (all broadly construed) to participate in a survey about the barriers researchers face when attempting to communicate with lay audiences about their specific research area, and how those barriers may be similar or different across fields.The survey doesn’t target the usual things about barriers to public engagement like lack of time or incentives, but rather the actual content of our work that can make it feel tough to connect with members of the public. Findings will clarify key science communication challenges and inform targeted strategies. Participants may also find that being asked…

Over the years I have heard a lot of great things about Brazilian spinach.  Brazilian spinach is a perennial leaf vegetable that is commonly grown in the tropics.  It has many common names, including Sissoo Spinach, Samba Lettuce, Sambu Lettuce, and Poor Man’s Spinach. I am a little confused over the taxonomy of this plant.  It carries the binomial name of Alternanthera sissoo, but is thought to be the domesticated form of Alternanthera sessilis.  Brazilian spinach produces small uninteresting spiky white flowers that look suspiciously like khaki weed.  For some reason this vegetable never produces any seed.  It is meant to be propagated rather simply by…

Asthma can be defined as an inflammation of the airways. It is classified as a inflammatory disease of the airways of the lungs. Patients suffering from asthma find it difficult to breathe and also find it challenging or even impossible, in some cases, to perform strenuous physical activities. Asthma is one of the most common chronic respiratory conditions. To understand this condition better, lets get an understanding of the function of a breath. With each breath a person takes, air first passes through the nose or the mouth, then passes through the throat and eventually makes it all the way…
