This document discusses glass models in natural history museums and their use for representation and education. It provides context on early cabinets of curiosity and museums of natural history. It also describes the work of Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka, glass artists who created highly detailed glass models of plants and invertebrates for display in natural history museums in the late 19th century. These glass models helped illustrate organisms and advance the study of natural history when obtaining real specimens was difficult.

The main purpose of museum is to neither educate nor entertain but rather to create a memory bank that would remind us of the past. Most societies in different parts of the world traced their origin through the works of arts history. All across the world there are hundreds of museums filled with history, information, shows, and famous documents. A variety of museums display interesting objects. A mix of cultures, historical events, famous people, and art work in the whole museum. Rather than having different attractions, some museums are dedicated to showing of shows based on a particular topic of history or interest for example the National Museum.
Upon going for an exhibition at one of the national museums, the experience I gained was very valuable and important on the understanding of the artworks used by the early humans . The visual experience gained during the exhibition was more appealing compared to reading of the curatorial essay about the exhibition at the museum which was entitled the The American Early Plates. The visual experience gives a visitor the chance to physically interact with artifacts especially when one can touch the artifacts. The curator essay about the exhibition in the museum had a lot of significance in understanding the artifacts used in the exhibition. The curatorial essay gave me the knowledge of understanding the origin, uses and dates of the various artifacts I visually witnessed at the museum. In general the visiting of the museum exhibit gave me a valuable experience as demonstrated.
The exhibition made me understand that a museum is an institution housing collections of objects of artistic, historic, or scientific interest and displayed for the educational and enjoyment of the public. I also noticed that Museums are places of memory that provides the link of distant past to the present generation which also help the society to know the path their forebears trod. The visit of the exhibition gave me the understanding of the artifacts in the display for example the display of an artifact referred to as the American earliest plate
The exhibition gave visitors the experience of comparing the modern American plates and those used in the early days. The exhibition gave the visitors a great chance to know the improvements the materials presented at the exhibition have undergone over time and the factors that have triggered such improvements. The visitors were also able learn history behind the making such of plates, the skills for making such plates and their relevance in those days.
In conclusion special exhibition helps one understand that museums are trustworthy, the importance of various artifacts to aid in the reconstruction of history. One is also able to compare the artifacts in museum with related objects which are currently in use. The importance of museum to hold a special exhibition for various artifacts is also understood.

Gathering Information Anthropology
You are a member of a group of anthropologists from the future who want to study the culture and society of the twenty-first century. However, you cannot find any written documentation of that time period, so you must conduct an archaeological excavation.
As you dig you come across various items which reveal a lot about the culture and society of the twenty-first century. Prepare a presentation describing what you found. Select a location for your dig, and identify the artifacts, features, and Eco facts (any plant or animal remains you might find at the dig site) you found during your fieldwork. What do these items tell you about the culture and society of the twenty-first century?
1. Prepare a report or a presentation describing at least 5 objects you found and explaining what they reveal about the culture and society you studied.
2. Include a map of the location you chose to dig and visual representations of each of the objects you found.
3. Be sure to cite the sources of your illustrations, as well as any online sources you consult.

Covid-19, commonly known as Coronavirus, is a single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus. It is a known fact that RNA-duplex and RNA-DNA duplex is thermodynamically more stable than ds-DNA which in turn is more stable than ss-RNA i.e. it requires more harsh conditions (Like higher temperature) to denature ds-RNA than ds-DNA. So, injecting a modified anti-sense RNA would effectively arrest RNA proliferation by forming a near-neutral duplex (i.e. this Duplex can't be proofread stopping the retrosynthesis) in a Corona-affected patient, which is the key idea of my project.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Mr. Handley Hon. Secretary Jeypore India
I have duly perceived your postcard of Octbr 19th as well as your Favor of Novbr 8th the latter with an annexed list of
glass-models of Invertebrates, which you ordered for the Jeypore Museum. According to your wish I have with Mr.
Damon all perfectly arranged; I will begin next time to make the models (as I have nothing in stock) and send them, as
soon as they are ready, exactly in conformity to your appointments. As to your inquiry where in our vicinity
preparations of papier-mâché (sic) [NOTE: should be papier-mâche] and other museum requisites are to be sold I know
and can recommend (to) you especially the commercial establishment of the naturalist Mr. V. Fric, Wladislaw g.21.A. of
Prague (Austria) who has I believe has his own fabric of such articles in stock of all Museum requisites. In the course of
the next year I also will make some studies in Botanical objects. The directors in Cambridge, Mass. (U. S. of America) are
intending to found a national Botanical Museum, and I was requested to try to make glass models of American plants,
especially of the beautiful forms of the Orchideae (sic)in their live state with great success. Of the Indian Orchideae (sic)
I had fini (finished (?)) the following species: Vanda insignis, Cypripedium venustum & insigne, Saccolabium, Sarcanthus,
Dendrobium sanguinolentum, several Aorides, Chaysis albiflora, Calanthemsassica, Pleione maculata, Cymbidium,
Coelogyne a. others; also from other plants the Hoya imperialis, Enkianthus etc. As these preparations had been more
partly in remembrance of my own voyages and the preliminary of my models of invertebrate animals which occupied
my interest. Actually I never offered them to Museums. But by the by (sic) as we speak of, if you are fond of them and
like to have some, I am ready to make you later some of them.
26th Decbr
Mr. Damon
At first you receive my best thanks for the two addresses for which I am much obliged to you. As to other models of
botanic and the anatomy of fishes if you guess it advantageous enough to undertake a mediation, I think it best to
induce those museums of persons who are inquiring after such models, to send me drawings of the required objects. In
this case I will also prepare such models, to send me drawings of the required objects. In this case I will also prepare
such models to please you on the next week I will begin with the models for Jeypore.
I wish you a happy and prosperous new year and season.
