Gardening began to be more popular during the Pandemic. Though we’re still not fully recovered from CoViD-19 and yet another illness like MonkeyPox is testing the vulnerability of the human race, we tend to battle the odds to survive. Yeah, survival of the fittest might be true. Anyways, we’re deviating from the topic people, let’s get to it. As far as this little research is concerned, we found 5 plants that can survive without sunlight. Yes, plants also have their way to survive if subjected into hostile environment. Chinese Evergreen (Aglaonema) The Chinese evergreen is the common name used for a collection of plants from the Aglaonema genus - which tend to tolerate low light conditions very well. Aglaonemas will produce flowers (these are not very showy), but they're grown primarily for the attractive leathery leaves.

When you try to start to collect toys from your childhood, a girl will most likely to choose doll, a Barbie in particular. On the other hand, a boy might always choose to collect a toy car, I don’t know about you guys but when I was young, Matchbox is the brand most children want to have. The Matchbox name originated in 1953 as a brand name of the British die-casting company Lesney Products, whose reputation was moulded by John W. "Jack" Odell (1920–2007), Leslie Charles Smith (1918–2005), and Rodney Smith. The name Lesney was a portmanteau of Leslie and Rodney Smith's first names. In the earliest years of the regular, or 1-75 series – well before the series actually numbered 75 models – Lesney was marketed/distributed by Moko (itself named after its founder, Moses Kohnstam). Boxes in that era mentioned this, with the text "A Moko Lesney" appearing on each. Lesney gained its independence from Moko in 1959[5] by buying out Moko's share in the joint enterp

What happens when a chunk of rock from outer space enters the Earth’s atmosphere? Those chuck of rocks are called Meteoroids, they are pieces of rock and metal from outer space. When meteoroids enter Earth’s atmosphere (or that of another planet, like Mars) at high speed and burn up, the fireballs or “shooting stars” are called meteors. Meteors are usually so small that they burn up before they ever hit the ground. But some meteors are bigger lumps that shoot all the way through the atmosphere and hit the ground. When a meteoroid survives a trip through the atmosphere and hits the ground, it’s called a meteorite. A meteorite is a fragment of spatial matter that falls to the surface of a planet. Most meteorites that fall to Earth come from the Asteroid Belt. Watch as a meteorite travels to Earth, causes an explosion, and creates an impact crater. It is a solid piece of debris from an object, such as a comet, asteroid, or meteoroid, that originates in outer space and survives its passa

When I was a kid, I have so much fascination about robots. This might be due to the Japanese cartoons I have been watching on a daily basis during those times. Voltes V, Mazinger Z, Daimos just to name a few. When I get older, I came across with Gundam, and it was amazing! According to Wiki, Gundam is a Japanese military fiction media franchise/media mix.

The popularity of the series and its merchandise spawned a franchise that includes 50 TV series, films and OVAs as well as manga, novels and video games, along with a whole industry of plastic model kits known as Gunpla which makes up 90 perc

Colnago Ernesto & C. S.r.l. or Colnago is a manufacturer of high-end road-racing bicycles founded by Ernesto Colnago near Milano in Cambiago, Italy. It remained a family-controlled firm until May 4, 2020, when it was announced that the UAE-based investment company, Chimera Investments LLC had acquired majority of the Colnago stakes from Ernesto Colnago, although the headquarters will remain located in Italy since the acquisition. Instead of following his family's farming business, Ernesto Colnago chose to work in the cycle trade, apprenticing first with Gloria Bicycles at 13, subsequently taking up road racing.

Due to unstoppable increase of fuel prices, people are now mindful of the alternatives to combat the heavy expenses on transportation. One of the immediate solution to this is the use of Electronic Bikes or popularly known as E-Bikes. There are wide range of designs and manufacturers to choose from, as this kind of technology is becoming more popular everyday. Just so you know, the very first electric bicycles were documented in the 1880's and 1890's in the patent offices in both France and the United States. In France, one of the earliest was a three wheeled electric contraption, the motor power controlled with a hand-held lever system without any pedals. With a lot of brands and collaborations out there, we will focus on one particular brand, The Honda Muji Brand collaborations aren’t uncommon in the automotive and fashion worlds—and lately, we’ve been seeing more of them in motorbikes, too. In July, 2022, it’s apparently Honda’s turn, as the OEM teams up with Japanes

If you’re all familiar with the Film Star Wars, in 2007, one character of the said film was sold as a toy. The C3PO action figure was so iconic that you will remember the Film for a long time because of the said character. C-3PO is a humanoid robot character in the Star Wars franchise who appears in the original trilogy, the prequel trilogy and the sequel trilogy.

Automotive hybrid technology became widespread beginning in the late 1990s. The first mass-produced hybrid vehicle was the Toyota Prius, launched in Japan in 1997, and followed by the Honda Insight, launched in 1999 in the United States and Japan. A hybrid vehicle, just so you know, is one that uses two or more distinct types of power, such as submarines that use diesel when surfaced and batteries when submerged. Other means to store energy include pressurized fluid in hydraulic hybrids. Hybrid electric vehicles are powered by an internal combustion engine and one or more electric motors, which uses energy stored in batteries. A

When it comes to gold under the ocean floor, scientists estimate there is enough gold in the seafloor to give every person on the planet nine pounds of the precious metal. That is an astronomical estimation that should be taken with a grain of salt. A common misconception is that finders can keep their discoveries at sea. But under international law, anyone who finds a wreck must report it. Hiding a shipwreck or its cargo is an offence. The largest monetary treasure haul found was on the wreck code named Black Swan, discovered by Odyssey Marine Exploration in 2007 off of Gibraltar. The salvage team reportedly found 17 tons of coins valued at $500 million; an amount that is both staggering and said to be “unprecedented” in the treasure hunting world. The Black Swan Project is the project name given by Odyssey Marine Exploration for its discovery and recovery of an estimated US$500 million (£314 million) worth of silver and gold coins from the ocean floor. Initially Odyssey kept th
