crestfallen field force therefore withdrew from the combat area after
about a month.”
• The losing belligerent was commanded by Major GPW Meredith of the
Seventh Heavy Battery, who had this to say about their worthy opponents:
“They can face machine guns with the invulnerability of tanks. They are

comprising them would face any army in the world.”
• What military engagement/Who were the winning belligerents?

92. 30
• The scientific name of this
agnostid trilobite
(X Y) suggests that it’s of the
X genus, which takes it’s
name from the largest

the fact that it is the only
one of this genus, but X Y
also fulfils a dare for a

• India likely chose it’s unusual half-hour offset
to avoid choosing between the noons of
Ahmedabad and Calcutta, an equal

is especially remembered for a widely published
drawing (a memento mori or vanitas) titled All Is

138. The Abominable Bride

• Astronaut Scott Kelly is certainly quite the badass. He has set the
record for most number of days spent in space by an American,
382. He was pilot to an eight-day mission during which the crew
successfully installed new instruments and upgraded systems on
the Hubble Space Telescope HST. And his year-long mission is an
experiment to understand better how the human body reacts and
adapts to the harsh environment of space, paving the way to
expeditions to Mars and beyond.
All of this must give his brother Mark an inferiority complex, who
retired after a shooting incident injuring his wife. But while

Mousetronauts, Gabby: A Story of Courage, Love and Resilience,
and Astrotwins: Blast Off, Mark Kelly was actually a major part of

• In Geology, the following reasons are why “the
present” is defined to be 1st of January, 1950, for
the following reasons:
1. It was the standard astronomical epoch at that
time.
2. It also marked the publication of the first
practical radiocarbon dates in December 1949
3. 1950 also antedates X, which made the dates
after 1950 unreliable for carbon dating.

nuclear tests have contaminated samples,
making radiocarbon dating unreliable.

• The X’s decline that began somewhere in the nineties has been
pinpointed to an anti-inflammatory drug called diclofenac, since
taken off the market.
• The disappearance of X has allowed other species, such
as rats and wild dogs, to take their place. These newly abundant
scavengers, however, are not as efficient as Xs. A X’s metabolism is a
true “dead-end” for pathogens, but dogs and rats become carriers
of the pathogens.
• Because of this, Today in India, 30,000 people die from rabies each
year, more than half the world's total
• Between the cost of treating rabies and other diseases carried by
dogs, and attempts to sterilise them, the decline of Xs has an
estimated cost of 34 billion US dollars.

• In what may be described as corporate espionage of the best kind,
Robert Fortune often donned the disguise of a Chinese merchant
from the far provinces in order to acquire tea leaves for Indian
plants.
• But one incident is said to be primarily responsible for the
overthrowing of the Chinese-controlled tea market and
establishment of the Indian and British tea industry, where he
noticed a Chinese tea plantation workers hands dyed blue from
mincing ferrocyanide aka the Prussian blue pigment , and another
worker cooking a yellow substance into powder. The substance was
gypsum, or calcium sulfate dehydrate, a common component of
plaster. While the cyanide was fortunately harmless, due to the
yellow plaster it was obvious that the Chinese were unwittingly
poisoning Western tea drinkers.
• Why did the Chinese use these two substances in the making of
their tea?

196. • To make it appear more green in colour.
