  Back on that day, before the advent of online search engines, people with questions generally turn to the most reliable source they know: their local library. All you have to do is ask, and the reference librarian will answer your question directly or direct you to a book that contains the information you are looking for. The internet has replaced this important service for many, but the brick-and-mortar library remains very popular, even in the world that continues to grow. They are important and many, more knowledge fortresses. The library concept comes from thousands of years. The first library held systematically in the ancient Middle East was founded in the 7th century BC by Asyrian Ruler Ashurbanipal in Nineveh, in contemporary Iraq. It contains around 30,000 pointed tablets assembled by the topic. Many works are archive documents and scientific texts, but there are also literary works, including the ancient epic of Gilgamesh. Like many bibliophils, ashurbanipal is very pr...

  When we think of pirates, there are almost universal images that comes to mind, which have been enshrined throughout pop culture. Pirates has developed a sufficient reputation to say things like "shivering me wood!" and "Arr!" And because it has peg legs - maybe even wearing a parrot on their shoulders. This pirate idea, well the way they talk and the way they see, mostly come from the popular novel island and one of the film adaptations. Unfortunately, it might not have a lot of bearings in reality. Treasure island serialized in magazines from October 1881 to January 1882 and published in the book form in 1883. It was written by Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson under the pseudonym "Captain George North." This novel follows the Protagonist of the Youth Jim Hawkins, who found himself having a map that leads to buried treasures. It sounds familiar, right? Jim led the reader on the wild adventure, met a pirate like a one-legged captain John Silver an...

When you think of a deep web, what comes to mind? Illegal activities? Phishing and fraud? Bitcoin? Alright, you will be fine ... and a little wrong. These are examples of things found on the dark web, a collection of websites that have hidden IP addresses and may require certain software to access. The dark web is only a small part (0.01%) of the inner web, which contains internet content that cannot be searched by your standard search engine. In other words, if Google can't find what you are looking for, it might still be out there on the World Wide Web; It's only on the web in a more difficult access to access. (If Google can find it, then it's on the surface web, which forms around 0.03% of the internet.) Deep web and dark web have been compiled in public discourse. Most people do not know that webs contain most benign sites, such as password-protected e-mail accounts, certain parts of paid subscription services such as Netflix, and sites that can only be accessed throug...

  The internet has very changed the way we communicate . Because body language and verbal tones are not translated in our text or email message, we have developed an alternative way to deliver nuanced meaning. The most prominent change for our online style is the addition of two new hieroglif languages: emoticons and emojis. Let's start with the older than both: emoticons. Emoticons are punctuation, letters, and numbers used to make illustrated icons that generally display emotions or sentiments . (It's actually where the portmanteau "emoticon" comes from: an emotional icon.) Oh, and because of the limit of our keyboard, most emoticons need to be read to the side. Emoticons appeared after a wrong joke at Carnegie Mellon University in 1982. Gag about fake mercury spills posted to the online message board sent the university to Tizi, and because of this confusion, Scott E. Fahlman suggested jokes and non-pekes marked by two sets The character we now recognizes as a st...

  More than 200 years ago, the crew of the HMS Warren Hastings reported being attacked by giant balls of fire that descended from the sky. The mysterious fireballs reportedly set the ship on fire and killed several people. A century later, a “dazzling globe of electric fire” appeared in the cottage where British occultist Aleister Crowley was staying, which he described in detail in his autobiography. He claimed that the floating orb instantly exploded, slightly shocking his hand. Frightening, cryptic, and potentially dangerous, this phenomenon is known today as ball lightning. Sightings of mysterious floating balls of light have captivated humanity across many different cultures, inspiring a myriad of fantastical explanations and mythical stories. In Australian Outback folklore they are called Min Min lights—strange fuzzy balls of light that follow people around at night. The Japanese hitodama are ghostly balls of fire thought to be the apparitions of souls separated from their ph...

  For years, no one knew why female chimpanzees prefer to give birth alone. The birth of chimpanzees in nature is rarely seen by researchers, mostly because pregnant women often take "maternity leave" from their family units, hiding themselves until their children were born. On December 2, 2014, researcher Hitonaru Nishie and Michio Nakamura witnessed birth in the Mahala Mountains in Tanzania. For unknown reasons, this mother does not take maternity leave; He drove in front of about 20 other knots. As Nishie and Nakamura watched, the baby "grabbed immediately after giving birth and consequently conquered by adult men," a sight that made them argued that cannibalism was the reason a chimpanzee mother often left her group before labor began. Babies are not the only chimpanzees that are risky. In the planet earth segment narrated by David Attenborough, a chimpanzee family in Africa the accidental attack stage in the nearest enemy: other chimpanzees. When some attackers...

  When the 18th century Zoology George Shaw published the first scientific description of the plaatypus, many of his contemporaries did not believe that animals were real. Shaw himself initially believed the specimen became a trick consisting of part of the body from different animals, sewn together to create the resemblance of extraordinary creatures. With bills, webbed feet, and behavior such as eggs lay eggs and produce poisons that oppose other known mammals norms, it is not difficult to see how platypus avoids the recognition of European naturalists, who have just begun to observe and categorize unique fauna found in Australia. Reminiscent of the classic line of DC comics, scientists and observers find themselves asking: Is it a bird? Is this a plane? Maybe the transitional reptile species that display initial mammal physiology? Platypus, like Superman, nothing above. Found in the new water and estuary of Australia, Platypus is a small hairy mammal with different bills and ta...
