New Google Doodle honors leading seismologist Inge Lehmann

Inge Lehmann, who discovered that earth has both an inner and outer core, should be inspiration for any young woman with dreams of becoming a scientist, and on Wednesday Google honored the pioneering seismologist’s 127th birthday with a new animated Doodle.

Inge Lehmann (May 13, 1888 – February 21, 1993) was a Danish seismologist and geophysicist who discovered the Earth's inner core, In 1936, she postulated from existing seismic data that the Earth's core is not a single molten sphere, but that an inner core exists, which has physical properties that are different from those in the outer core. This conclusion was quickly accepted by seismologists, who up to this time had not been able to propose a workable hypothesis for the observation that the P-wave created by earthquakes slowed down when it reached certain areas of the inner Earth.

Happy Mother's day

Origin

Sanskrit word matri, used to be mōdor in Old English, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch moeder and German Mutter, from an Indo-European root shared by Latin mater and Greek mētēr.

Mother is probably the only word which has similar phonetics / spelling in different languages and has not changed over thousands of years of cultural / language evolution. And so is the role of mother. When God wanted to give his powers to his most beautiful creating human being, he chose a woman and gave her powers to 'create' like God aka, give birth to another human being. Such is the power of motherhood.

We celebrate mother's day to acknowledge the power bestowed upon her across the world. The dates might vary, but the emotion and the intentions remain the same. We celebrate it by visiting our mother, giving gifts, praying for their good health and doing something special for them including cooking. I am a terrible cook myself, so not a good example, but my son is a good cook and I can tell you his mum is so happy and proud when he cooks for her on mother's day. Try cooking for your mother on mother's day and make her feel proud.

So do something special and different for your mother this mother's day.

1.       Pick up the phone and call her and say thank you

2.       Take her out for a long drive

3.       Book a date with her on that roof top restaurant

4.       Book a massage session for her

5.       Buy a fitness bracelet to help her monitor her health

6.       Cook her food or buy her favourite food

7.       Think of one thing you always wanted to do and couldn't, do it this mother's day

Enjoy your mother's day and in the words of Washington Irwin:

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavour by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.

who invented the piano

The piano is a musical instrument played using a keyboard. It is widely employed in classical and jazz music for solo and ensemble performances, accompaniment, and for composing and rehearsal. Although the piano is not portable and often expensive, its versatility and ubiquity have made it one of the world's most familiar musical instruments.

An acoustic piano usually has a protective wooden case surrounding the soundboard and metal strings, and a row of 88 black and white keys. The strings are sounded when the keys are pressed, and silenced when the keys are released. The note can be sustained, even when the keys are released, by the use of pedals.

Pressing a key on the piano's keyboard causes a padded hammer to strike strings. The hammer rebounds, and the strings continue to vibrate at their resonant frequency. These vibrations are transmitted through a bridge to a soundboard that amplifies by more efficiently coupling the acoustic energy to the air. When the key is released, a damper stops the strings' vibration, ending the sound. Although an acoustic piano has strings, it is usually classified as a percussion instrument because the strings are struck rather than plucked in the Hornbostel-Sachs system of instrument classification, pianos are considered chordophones. With technological advances, electric, electronic, and digital pianos have also been developed.
