![]() In addition to his work in theoretical physics, Feynman has been credited with pioneering the field of quantum computing, and introducing the concept of nanotechnology (creation of devices at the molecular scale). ![]() He assisted in the development of the atomic bomb and was a member of the panel that investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. During his lifetime and after his death, Feynman became one of the most publicly known scientists in the world. Feynman developed a widely used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions governing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams. For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman was a joint recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965, together with Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga. ![]() Richard Phillips Feynman was an American physicist known for the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics and the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as work in particle physics (he proposed the parton model). ![]()

Because of this scholarly training, he had - unlike Tagore, Gandhi, or Nehru - the analytical skills to synthesise his readings and his experiences into a cohesive and persuasive narrative. In and outside the classroom, Ambedkar had read widely in sociology, economics, philosophy, and history. These tendencies were given further shape by his education in Columbia and London, and the two doctoral degrees he obtained there. Ambedkar had a naturally curious mind and was a voracious reader from a very young age. Even more pertinent is his scholarly temperament. Pertinent here is the author’s personal experience as a Dalit who had experienced caste discrimination himself. However, that may not be the principal reason why the book is more focussed in its presentation. Annihilation of Caste is a much shorter work than Hind Swaraj, Nationalism, or The Discovery of India. ![]() Ella frank headlines5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() But that’s exactly what happened over these past couple of months: I fell in love. ![]() I mean, no one could’ve seen that coming-least of all me. I didn’t mean to fall in love with Alexander Thorne, my brother’s ex and the number one prime-time news anchor in the country. As the older brother of my lifelong best friend, this new love has caused relationships to break down and communication to become stilted, and the one question that remains is: am I willing to give up the love and friendship of one for the chance of love and forever with another?

The national park at Rondane was established in 1962, which brought a lot more tourists to the area. The first tourists came to Høvringen as early as the 1880s. Originally, Høvringen was filled with small, summer mountain pastures ( Norwegian: seter) that were used by farmers from the villages down in the valley. The village area now serves as the main entrance into the mountainous Rondane National Park, the first national park that was established in Norway. The village area sits at an elevation of about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) above sea level. The village is located in the northern part of the municipality, high up in the mountains along the Gudbrandsdalen valley. ![]() Høvringen is a village in Sel Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. ![]() Eric schlosser fast food5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Most important, it would finally give the agency the power to order the recall of contaminated foods - and to punish companies that knowingly sell them. This legislation would grant the Food and Drug Administration, which has oversight over 80 percent of the nation’s food, the authority to test widely for dangerous pathogens and improve the agency’s ability to trace outbreaks back to their source. Food Safety Modernization Act, was unanimously approved by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee in November. Our food will never be perfectly safe - and yet if the Senate fails to pass the food safety legislation now awaiting a vote, tens of thousands of American children will become needlessly and sometimes fatally ill.Īlmost one year ago, the House of Representatives passed the Food Safety Enhancement Act with bipartisan support. ![]() By far the most vulnerable group, however, are children under the age of 4. The elderly and people with compromised immune systems face an elevated risk from food-borne pathogens like listeria, campylobacter and salmonella. Those estimates, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suggest the scale of the problem. And the number who are killed annually by something they ate is roughly the same as the number of Americans who’ve been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2003. Every year, about 325,000 are hospitalized by a food-borne illness. EVERY day, about 200,000 Americans are sickened by contaminated food. ![]() The Gift of Sarah Barker by Jane Yolen5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() Nebula Awards 16 (By: Kim Stanley Robinson,Suzy McKee Charnas,Charles L.

The ‘Father of the Nation’ appears more like the grandfather whose ideals are no more than mere platitudes to be paid lip service to. Perhaps that makes it difficult for millennials and generation Z to relate to a moralist and idealist who is placed on a pedestal. The customary speeches and competitions organised on Gandhi Jayanti make him an omnipresent, saint-like figure. His image decorates our currency notes and his statues, our streets. From an early age, we are taught about his ideals of truth and non-violence our history textbooks make the story of Indian nationalism synonymous with Gandhi’s satyagrahas and movements. ![]() ![]() Mahatma Gandhi’s 152nd birth anniversary is, perhaps, an appropriate occasion to reflect on what he means to young Indians and the lessons he holds for them.įor most young Indians, Gandhi and his ideas are ubiquitous. ![]() While it lasts by abbi glines5/23/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() He’d been her first boyfriend at seven, her first kiss at ten, her first date at fifteen, and her first tragedy at eighteen.
