Battle of Thermoplyae 480 BC

               Leonidas was a warrior king of Sparta, one of the most dominant ancient Greek cities. He was not destined by birth to become king at all, and did so only because his older half-brother Cleomenes died without male issue. During his reign, King Xerxes of Persia sought to conquer all of Greece, after his father’s failed attempt. By 480 BC, Xerxes had built up an enormous army of some one hundred and fifty thousand men and a navy of six hundred ships. The invasion led to the Battle of Thermopylae, which is considered one of the most famous battles in European ancient history. Unlike other battles, however, it was not a victory for the Greeks, but a defeat. Its fame is derived from being one of the most courageous last stands by the vastly outnumbered defending army of Greek city states led by King Leonidas of Sparta against the invading Persians under King Xerxes.                 The Greek force of approximately 7,000 men, 300 of which were Spartans, chose Thermopylae as the

10 Life Changing Habits You Can Form Within 66 Days

         Research shows that it takes, on average, 66 days to form a new habit. In my experience, though, the number isn’t the most important part — you can try to do something for 66 days or 6,000, but you’ll never make a change if you don’t have a good reason. What drives change? Pain. At some point, you simply can’t stand your current behavior or situation, and you need to do something about it. Over the years, I’ve found myself in this position multiple times. The habits I adopted as a result may seem like small improvements, with insignificant daily returns. But because I understand the pain I’d be in without them, these habits have changed my life. They might just change yours, too. 1. Set three or four daily priorities This is one of the best productivity strategies there is. Focus is what leads to results. It’s the thing that will bring you closer to achieving your short- and long-term goals. But how do you focus when your days are filled with endless distractions? By limiting

What is wave ? or What waves do ?

         Waves simply transport energy without any transportation of matter . The energy transportation is carried by a disturbance , which spreads out from a source . We are well familiar with different types of waves such as water waves in the ocean , or gently formed ripples on a still pond due to rain drop . When a musician plucks a guitar-string , sound waves are generated which on reaching our ear , produce the sensation of music . Wave disturbances may also come in a concentrated bundle like the shock waves from an aero plane flying at supersonic speed . What ever may be the nature of waves , the mechanism by which it transports energy is the same . A succession of oscillatory processes are always involved . The wave is generated by an oscillation in the vibrating body and propagation of wave through space is by means of oscillation . The waves which propagate by the oscillation of material particles are known as mechanical waves . There is another class of waves which , instead

Rain Alarm Project

                 Water is basic need in every one’s life. Saving and proper usage of water is very important. Here is an easy project which will give the alarm when there is rain, so that we can make some actions and save the rain water. As a result, we can increase the water levels of underground water by using underwater recharge technique. Rain water detector will detect the rain and make an alert; rain water detector is used in the irrigation field, home automation, communication, automobiles etc. Here is the simple and reliable circuit of rain water detector which can be constructed at low cost.   Rain Alarm Project Block Diagram: Rain water sensor is the main component in the circuit. For this rain sensor, no need to go and buy in the market or online. We can do it ourselves just by taking the piece of Bakelite or mica board and aluminum wire. Bakelite or mica board should be made completely flat and aluminum wire should be pasted on the fl
