February milestones

Some important discoveries and happenings of this month:

What with all the crises about oil have you ever wondered when the first commercial leaded gasoline went on sale? It was on February 1, 1923.

February 2, 1935, saw the testing of the polygraph for the first time. On February 4, 1936, radium was produced synthetically for the first time. Dmitry Mendeleev, famous for his work on classifying elements, was born on February 8, 1834. He formulated the Periodic table, which we still use today to classify elements.

Other scientists born this month include Thomas Edison, who invented the gramophone and the light bulb and more(February 11, 1847); Charles Darwin (February 12, 1809).
Clyde Tombaugh on February 18, 1930, discovered the planet to which a probe was launched recently — a planet that's an ice dwarf — farthest planet of our Solar system. Yes, Pluto! A day later but in 2002, thermal emission imaging was used to map the planet Mars.

While still on the subject of space, note that John Glenn piloted the first US manned orbital mission on February 20, 1962. A flight closer home was completed on February 22, 1995, when Steve Fossett finished the first trans-Pacific hot-air balloon trip. Another flight first in February: on February 16, 1946, the first commercially designed helicopter was tested. Wearing nylon, by any chance? Nylon yarn was commercially used for the first time on February 24, 1938, and it was discovered on February 28, 1935, by Wallace Carothers of DuPont.

Where would we be without computers? The world's first electronic digital computer began operation on the 13th of this month in 1946. It was called ENIAC.

Take the skywalk

The all-glass, balcony-like Skywalk will extend over the edge of the Grand Canyon, 1,200 metres above the Colorado River. The Skywalk will be an attraction unlike any other in the world said Sheri Yellowhawk, CEO of the Grand Canyon Resort Corporation. The company is building the bridge in the Hualapai Indian Reservation on the south rim of the canyon. The Skywalk is open to the public as part of a new resort on the reservation. The resort, known as Grand Canyon West, is to include a re-created Indian village and a restaurant perched on the edge of the canyon. Tourism is the reservation's biggest source of income. Grand Canyon West will be on the western edge of Grand Canyon National Park, about 200 kilometres from Las Vegas.

Finding Nemo

Scientists believe they have found the world's smallest fish. The little fish grows to less than one third of an inch long! It may be small, but it has a big name: Paedocypris progenetica. This is one of the strangest fish that scientists seen in there whole career. It's tiny, and it has these bizarre grasping fins. The mini fish has a see through body. Its head doesn't have a protective skeleton. It was discovered in threatened swampland on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. Researchers say that the tea-coloured water is at least 100 times more acidic than rainwater. Fish experts Maurice Kottelat from Switzerland and Tan Heok Hui from Singapore made the discovery. Kottelat said he first saw the fish in 1996, but he thought it was a member of an already existing species.

Trouble Kids

Today my dad went to Cudalore (a district in Tamil Nadu) for camp (official work), so he wake at 6.00am and went. Today morning I backed my memories (flash back), when I was small kid, what I did when my dad went to camps. My dad will not tell us when every his office told him to go for camps(official work), if he tell us about his camp, I and my brother used to do problem that I am also coming with u to camps.

One day, my dad told to my brother and me I am going to camp for a week, so u should not trouble u r mom and be a good boys. But we dint hear his word and started crying that we are also coming with u, my dad try to convince us, but we are not get peace and he said ok I will take u with me, so we packed our dress in a bag and kept near my dad’s suitcase and we happily went to sleep. Next morning we wake and searched for our dad, but he is not in house, that all we got angry and asked our mom were is dad, she told he wake earlier at 5.00am and went to camp, if he tell to u, you will do objection for him that’s why he went. We started arguing (or contention) with my mom, and my argument turned on my brother and said because of u only I cant go with dad (my brother said he will also go with my dad to camp), and the argument turned into fight, and we beat each other and cry, mom struggle to peace us. After the fight is over we have to go school, my mom know we will have some plan to avoid from going to school. Like that we also did problem, and said, that we are not going to school with out dad, because every day our dad only drop us in School, and the school is half-km form my house and we said my leg will pain if we walk. But she is not ready to put us leave, after thinking my mom call her brother (our uncle) to take us to school in his car, so our plan was destroyed and my brother was lucky he acted like stomach pain and my mom also hoped that and put him leave. I said when he dint come I will also not go to school, but no use, my mom dint allow, because I have test in school, so my Uncle peace me and told I will buy chocolate and after u come from school I will buy Ice-cream and sent me to school.

After returning form school, my uncle toke me to a Ice-cream shop and we eat Ice-cream and brought Ice-cream to my brother, when I come to house, my brother is not there, he was playing with his friend in next street, so I told my mom he(brother) said he have stomach pain, but he is playing ok I will not give this ice-cream, and I eat it, suddenly he come to house, he saw me eating Ice-cream and he started crying. After leaving the school, I will go to tuition, but I told my mom, I will not go to tuition, because he (my brother) put leave for school no, so I will put leave for tuition. Next the night came, every day I used to sleep with my dad, and my brother will sleep with mom, so I asked my mom to sleep with me, my brother asked to sleep with him, I cry and said if u dint sleep with me I will go out, and I went out and stand near the gate. She peace me and take me inside, she told I will keep sleep my brother and come, but I dint accept, then the fight started between me and my brother, mom and grandma shout not to fight, but we dint hear there word and in that situation my brother tarred my book and I also tarred his book, soon my mom come and give us a big beat and control our fight, and finally my mom sleep in-between us, ti took 12.am for us to sleep. And next day when my dad call, mom said about our fight and we talk to dad and he told not give trouble for mom, we said us. But again we did the same problem, and it continued till our dad return form camp. Like this we did problem whenever my dad go to camps, but now a days we are not doing this.

Love Message

I read a poem in a News paper yesterday, with the model of that poem I have used some of my own word & lines in between and writen here.

Love is beautiful, love is sweet, love is wonder.
When I look at you, my heart was not with me.
I can’t describe how I feel, When our lips meet.
If my kiss was a raindrop I will send u clouds.
If my hug was a second I will send u hours.
If my smile was honey I will send u flowers
If love was a person I will send u me!
When ever I close my eyes I romance with u in my dream.
I gave u my heart the day we first met
I shall love u enternally till death do us apart.
Your love helped me to rediscover my self.
If u look into my eyes, you could see the happinest, because u r with me.
If you ask my rose plant, it will tell, how much I miss u.
If I could live in this world one more time, I like to have u by my side always, until the end of my days.

Happy Valentines Day
