1. Identify X, Y

In 1504, __X__ was stranded in north coast of Jamaica, due to worm-eaten leaking ship. The

native inhabitants were no longer awed by the newcomers. Annoyed by their voracious

appetites and angry at the depredations of crew members, who had plundered several

villages, the population was hostile and would no longer supply food.

__X__ came up with a clever plan and warned the islanders that his god was upset with their refusal of food and that the moon would “rise inflamed with wrath” as an expression of divine

displeasure. He successfully intimidated the natives by correctly predicting a __Y__, using the Ephemeris of the German astronomer Regiomontanus.

On the appointed night, the moon darkened and turned red, and the terrified islanders

offered provisions and beseeched __X__ to ask his god for mercy.

3. Identify the Organisation ?

________ is a military operation run jointly by the United States and Canada. Originally headquartered in a massive complex built within a hollowed-out mountain near Colorado Springs, their goal is to monitor all possible approaches to the United States via air and space for potential attacks. Created at the height of Cold War paranoia, it’s a technological wonder that has been forced to adapt continually to new threats.

Aerospace warning includes the detection, validation, and warning of attack against North America whether by aircraft, missiles, or space vehicles, through mutual support arrangements with other commands.

Their motto is "Deter, Detect, Defend."

Smart Metals / Shape Memory Alloys

Smart materials respond to things that happen around them

Smart alloys have unusual properties. Nitinol is an alloy of nickel and

titanium, and is known as a shape memory alloy. If nitinol is bent out

of shape, it returns to its original shape when it is either heated or an

electric current is passed through it. This property makes it useful for

making spectacle frames - they return to their original shape if they are put in hot water after bending them.

At the phase transformation temperature, the alloy undergoes a

crystalline reversible solid state phase change from martensite to

austenite. It should be noted that both phases have different properties.

To hold him who has taught me this art as equal to my parents and to live my life in partnership with him, and if he is in need of money to give him a share of mine, and to regard his offspring as equal to my brothers in male lineage and to teach them this art — if they desire to learn it — without fee and covenant; to give a share of precepts and oral instruction and all the other learning to my sons and to the sons of him who has instructed me and to pupils who have signed the covenant and have taken an oath according to the medical law, but to no one else.

I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice.

I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody if asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art.

I will not use the knife, not even on sufferers from stone, but will withdraw in favor of such men as are engaged in this work.

Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentional injustice, of all mischief and in particular of sexual relations with both female and male persons, be they free or slaves.

What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself holding such things shameful to be spoken about.

If I fulfill this path and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and art, being honored with fame among all men for all time to come; if I transgress it and swear falsely, may the opposite of all this be my lot.

incident ?

64

It was early Monday morning on April 28, 1986, and Cliff Robinson had just eaten breakfast in the coffee room at the plant. He'd gone to the washroom, on the border of the controlled and uncontrolled areas of the plant, to brush his teeth. On the way back to the locker room, he had to pass through a radiation detector.

Robinson set the alarm off.

"It was so strange, because I hadn't even been in the controlled area!" he says.

He went through a couple more times, and the third time, the alarm didn't go off. He and one of the workers who monitored the detector thought it was a mistake and that the detector simply need some adjustment.

Robinson went about his duties, monitoring radioactivity within the power station. When he got back, he recalls, there was a long line of workers waiting at the detector. No one could get through, he says, because the alarm kept going off.

Robinson borrowed a shoe from one of the people there and took it into the lab, where he put it on a germanium detector.

"Then, I saw a sight that I will never forget," he says. "The shoe was highly contaminated. I could see this spectrum rising up very quickly. And it was just amazing, because there were many radioactive elements there that we normally didn't see in the cooling water at Forsmark."

Chernobyl sets off detectors in Sweden

Sweden has gotten the credit for pushing the former

Soviet Union to admit that something had gone wrong at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

April 26, 1986 - Reactor #4 exploded at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Ukraine.

April 28, 1986 - Swedish diplomats were in touch with Moscow inquiring about whether there could have been a nuclear accident there. But the answer they got was "no". Sweden warned that they were going to file an official alert with the International Atomic Energy Authority, and it was only then that the Soviet Union admitted that there'd been an accident at Chernobyl.

CNN called Cliff Robinson the "Engineer who alerted the World" to the Chernobyl accident.

Muslims aboard the International Space Station (ISS) struggled with fulfilling their religious obligations.

The issue first came up when Sultan bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, a Saudi prince, flew aboard STS-51-G and again when Anousheh Ansari flew as a tourist to the International space station.

In preparation for Malaysia's Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor trip to the ISS in 2007 which coincided with Ramadan, the National Fatwa Council created an 18 page guide book titled "Muslim Obligations in the International Space Station" outlining permissible modifications to rituals.

39. What was the modification about ?

Observant Muslims are required to turn toward Mecca -- located in Saudi Arabia -- and kneel and pray five times a day. However, with the space station circling the Earth 16 times a day, kneeling in zero gravity to pray -- or facing toward Mecca for that matter -- makes fulfilling those religious obligations difficult.

Changes made including kneeling and facing Mecca to pray in microgravity traveling at thousands of miles per hour. such as kneeling when praying (not required in space), facing Mecca when praying (left to the astronaut's best abilities at the start of prayer), and washing (a wet towel will suffice).

2. H. G. Wells' The First Men in the Moon.

It’s one of the first known science fiction films, and uses innovative animation and special effects, including the well-known image of the spaceship landing in the Moon's eye. It was sold in both black-and-white and hand-colored versions. A hand-colored print, the only one known to survive, was rediscovered in 1993 by the Filmoteca de Catalunya.

It was in a state of almost total decomposition, but a frame-by-frame restoration was launched in 1999 and completed in 2010 at the Technicolor Lab of Los Angeles- and after West Wing Digital Studios matched the original hand tinting by colorizing the damaged areas of the newly restored black and white. The restored version finally premiered on 11 May 2011, eighteen years after its discovery and 109 years after its original release, at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, with a new soundtrack by the French band Air. It was released by Flicker Alley as a 2-disc Blu-Ray/DVD edition, also including the documentary The Extraordinary Voyage about its restoration on 10 April 2012.
