Facts About the Nobel Prizes · Named after Alfred Nobel, Swedish chemist and inventor of dynamite. · First awarded in 1901, five years after Alfred Nobel's death. · Prizes first awarded in five subjects: chemistry, physics, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace. · Sixth subject, economics, added in 1969. · Prizes can only be awarded to individuals, except the Peace Prize. · Each award can be given to a maximum of three people per year. · Money from Nobel's estate went into a fund managed by the Nobel Foundation. The interest from the fund constitutes the monetary prize each year. · Each prize constitutes a gold medal, a diploma, and a sum of money. · If there are multiple winners of one subject, the award money is split equally among the winners. · The Literature and Peace Prizes are very controversial because the award criteria is considered subjective. · Each year there are 100 to 250 nominees for each prize. · If someone nominated himself/herself, he/she would automatically be disqualified. · Someone cannot be nominated posthumously. Yet, if someone was alive when nominated but died before the award was given, they may be awarded posthumously. · Prizes must be awarded at least once every 5-year period. · A few prize winners have declined the award. |

Mind Mapping – What is it? Mind mapping is a powerful technique for thinking on paper. It can help you greatly in such tasks as
and many other “think on paper” types of situations. The rationale for the use of mind maps or concept maps comes from a deeper understanding of how the brain works with information. Unlike a traditional computer, your brain does not process or organize information in linear sequences. Instead it naturally operates with networks of associations between various ideas. If you present information as a visual network, rather than a linear list, you will greatly enhance you mind powers to digest that information. You will also stimulate synergy of the left and right sides of your brain. To create a concept map you can proceed in the following way. Take a sheet of paper and put in the middle the central concept of your topic of focus. For example, in the case of goal setting it can be the overall direction of your goals. Ideally, represent that concept as a combination of words and an image. Then, starting from that central concept, draw lines to the sides to represent the main related sub categories for your mind map topic. Take one main keyword that you associate with each sub topic and print it in capitals over one of those lines. When you are done with those sub categories, continue the process of branching out lower level sub concepts. Draw lines from the end of each line from the previous stage and, as before, mark those lines with the main keywords that distinguish those concepts. One variation of the technique is to put sub concepts as a network of bubbles connected with lines. The keywords are placed inside the bubbles rather than on the lines. You can enhance the visual power of your mind maps by putting images near some of the concepts. You can also benefit from using colors for better grouping of the related sub concepts. In contrast to a linear list of text, a graphic concept map clearly represents relative importance of different sub concepts (by how far they are from the center) as well as how much they are related to each other (by their proximity on paper). Mind map is also easier to extend than a continuous text. When you need to add a new concept, just find some space to branch out a new line. While such visual exercise can be done on paper, there are also a few graphic mind mapping software tools that could streamline the process. Mind mapping software programs greatly simplify visual map creation as well as management, especially when you need to modify, store, and organize your mind maps on a regular basis. |
Facts about Pandemics and Influenza
A pandemic is an epidemic, infectious in nature and one that spreads across states or continents or even worldwide. Among the significant pandemics recorded in human history so far are cholera pandemic that started in West Bengal and spread across India; Spanish flu, Typhus, and HIV.
H1N1 Influenza · H1N1 flu virus is not new, it was first detected in 1987 · The virus originated from pigs, but the current strain is a combination of Swine flu virus, human flu virus and avian flu virus. · The best way to prevent it from spreading is asking patients having symptoms of flu like fever cough and running nose to rest at home for 4 days, so they do not transmit the virus · Fever accompanied by respiratory distress, should be immediately notified which is likely to be a complication of H1N1 flu · Do not go for rapid screening as it's not 100 per cent accurate. · Children, pregnant women and elderly people must received extra protection as their immune systems may be weaker. · All persons in flu affected areas are advised to wash their hands with soap and water frequently, avoid crowded areas and avoid touching their faces frequently. · Boosting your immune system is a good idea. Eat Vitamin C rich food such as leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, etc. · Mortality from swine flu is less than .01 percent of those affected, that means may be one in 10,000 affected is likely to suffer the life loss.
