Vashi Bridge

The **Vashi Bridge**, also called **Thane Creek Bridge**, is a bridge that connects the city of Mumbai to the mainland of India at New Mumbai

. It is built across the Thane Creek. The bridge links Mankhurd in Mumbai with Vashi in Navi Mumbai, the satellite city of Mumbai. It is one of four entry points into Mumbai, and handles traffic in the region to the west and north  of Mumbai.

## History

The first bridge to connect Mumbai to Navi Mumbai was made in 1973. The bridge is 1837 metres in length and has a below-requirement 3 lane carriageway. Within two years of its opening to traffic, corrosion cracks were noticed on some parts of the bridge. This led to a series of extensive repairs. It was then decided to construct a new bridge to replace the faulty one.

Construction on a new bridge began in 1987 and opened in 1997. The original Vashi Bridge or the 1st Thane Creek Bridge remains closed to traffic.

The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has plans to add six more lanes to the Vashi Bridge at an estimated cost of 400 crore.

## Thane Creek Bridge - 3

Currently, the creek boasts two bridges: Bridge No.1 (TCB-I), primarily designated for light motor vehicles, and Bridge No.2 (TCB-II), featuring a 6-lane (3+3 lane) divided carriageway.

Responding to escalating traffic demands, the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has undertaken the construction of TCB III. This upcoming infrastructure marvel will comprise two 3-lane major bridges flanking the existing TCB-II bridge. With a total length extending 3.28 kilometers, inclusive of approaches on both ends, TCB III aims to enhance connectivity and alleviate congestion along this crucial transit route.

Having made substantial strides in the construction of the South Mumbai to Vashi carriage, encompassing over 85 percent of the project, the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) anticipates the possibility of unveiling one side of the road, potentially as early as April 2024.

Stress (biology)

**Stress** is a word used in psychology and medicine to describe a condition which may be seen in organisms.

## Overview

Stress describes an organism's response to a threat or some adverse changes in its or his/her environment. In psychology, **stress** is a feeling of emotional strain and pressure. Stress is a type of psychological pain. Small amounts of stress may be beneficial, but more stress can increase the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and mental illnesses, such as depression in humans.

## Types

There are different types of stress. Each type has different characteristics and symptoms.

- **Acute:** stress causes immediate harm in a short time span. An example of this type of stress is having to finish an assignment quickly or avoiding a car crash
- **Chronic:** stress causes continued harm and frustration. An example of this type of stress is continued unhappiness with school. This type of stress wears organisms down
- **Traumatic:** stress after a scary and dangerous event. This stress causes fear. An example of this is experiencing a war or hurricane. This can lead to  Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder  (PTSD)

## Stress response

Organisms respond to stress differently.

- **Physical:** changes happening in the body. An example is a fast heartbeat after giving a speech
- **Emotional:** changes happening to an organism's emotions. An example is feeling worried or upset about an upcoming exam
- **Mental:** changes happening in the mind. An example is feeling unfocused due to difficulties at work

Stress may also lead to adaptations, which allow certain organisms to better deal with the stressors. Stress happens every day, and is part of every living thing's life. Too much stress is bad and can cause health problems. Stress plays a part in some physical problems, like heart disease. Stress also plays a part in many mental illnesses, like anxiety, Acute Stress Disorder, and PTSD.

Acute Stress Disorder and PTSD are mental illnesses that can happen when a person experiences something that is very terrifying, like a major accident or a war. Another type of stress disorder is  a "psychosomatic illness" where a person has physical symptoms that are caused by an emotional stress, not by physical harm.

## Stress management

There are different ways to deal with stress. One tip is to remove yourself from the stressor. For example if a school assignment is causing stress, taking a break from the assignment can be good. This break can include sleeping or engaging in hobbies. Physical activity and exercise reduce stress.

Social support from friends and family can be helpful. Health care professionals can help when stress is bad and affects physical or mental health. Relaxing with meditation and deep breathing can also manage stress.
Hawking radiation

**Hawking radiation** is black body radiation which is emitted by black holes, due to quantum effects near the event horizon. It is named after the physicist Stephen Hawking, who provided a theoretical argument for its existence in 1974.

As a result of quantum fluctuations, particle-antiparticle pairs can appear from the vacuum of space near the event horizon of a black hole in which the net energy of the particles is zero due to the matter and antimatter nature of the particles. In normal conditions, particle-antiparticle pairs that appear due to the quantum fluctuations annihilate each other. But if one member of the pair falls beyond the event horizon of the black hole, the other particle will not have a sister with which to annihilate. The member that does not fall into the black hole is then emitted from the black hole as hawking radiation. The particle that falls into the black hole effectively has negative energy, meaning that it will subtract from the overall mass-energy content of the black hole. Thus, after enough time has passed, the black hole will evaporate from these negative particles, while seeming to emit positive ones.  Hawking radiation reduces the mass and the energy of the black hole and is therefore also known as black hole evaporation. Because of this, black holes that lose more mass than they gain through other means are expected to shrink and ultimately vanish.

Hawking radiation is such a small effect that it has never been measured. Micro black holes (MBHs) are predicted to be larger net emitters of radiation than larger black holes (and should thus shrink and dissipate faster), but MBHs have yet to be observed.
High-level programming language

In computer science, a **high-level programming language** is a programming language that does not require knowledge of computer hardware. The advantage with high-level programming languages is that programmers only need to understand the syntax (the type of structure of the code) of the programming language and don't have to understand computer hardware to program well. Low-level programming languages require knowledge of both the syntax and the hardware they are programming for.

## Features of high-level programming languages

What determines a programming language as "high-level" depends on how much the programming language relies on hardware knowledge. Programming languages that require less knowledge about computer hardware are called "high-level" programming languages. It doesn't matter whether a programming language is considered easy to learn or not.

Rather than dealing with functions of computer hardware, high-level programming languages deal with more abstract concepts. High-level programming languages focus more on what the program will output. An interpreter is required to translate high-level programming language for low-level programming languages to tell the hardware what to do.

High-level programming languages can use variables, arrays, conditional statements, subroutines, loops, and among other functions to help produce the output. High-level programming languages are generally easier to do than low-level programming languages. The syntax used to make a program generally has clearer language than lower-level programming languages.

## Examples of high-level programming languages

- Python
- Pascal
- Perl
- C#
- C and C++
- JavaScript
- Java
- Lisp
- V (Vlang)
Low-level programming language

In computer science, a **low-level programming language** is a programming language that involves knowledge of both computer hardware and the coding used to make the computer hardware perform actions. The advantage of low-level programming languages compared to high-level programming languages is that they can directly communicate with the computer hardware to do actions. There is less need for an interpreter to convert programming languages into code that the computer understands. Low-level programming languages require knowledge of the hardware to make the most of what the hardware can do. The term "low-level" usually refers to assembly language.

A programming language can be called "low-level" because the actions the code describes are close to the computer hardware. A "high-level" language can be seen as "far away" or "high above" the computer hardware and closer to the programmer.

## Features of low-level programming languages

What determines a programming language as "low-level" depends on how much the programming language relies on hardware knowledge. Programming languages that require more knowledge about computer hardware are called "low-level" programming languages. It doesn't matter whether a programming language is considered easy to learn or not.

Rather than focus on what the program will output regardless of computer hardware, low-level programming languages deal directly at the computer hardware. Low-level programming languages will aim at what the hardware will actually do to make the actions that have been programmed. An interpreter is required to translate high-level programming language for low-level programming languages to tell the hardware what to do.

Low-level programming languages often use more technical code that is clearer for the hardware to understand. Low-level programming languages are generally harder to do than high-level programming languages due to how technical the syntax is (i.e. the structure of the coding is difficult to understand because of how complex it is).

Low-level programming languages are often tied to a particular CPU or instruction set. For example, a program written in ARM assembly language cannot run on an x86 processor without emulation.
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

***The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars*** (often called **Ziggy Stardust**) is the fifth studio album by British musician David Bowie, released in June 1972 through RCA Records.  It was co-produced by Bowie and Ken Scott and features Bowie's backing band The Spiders from Mars, made up of Mick Ronson (guitar), Trevor Bolder (bass) and Mick Woodmansey (drums). It was recorded from November 1971 to February 1972 at Trident Studios in London.

_Ziggy Stardust_ has been called a loose concept album and rock opera. It is based around the title character, Bowie's alter ego Ziggy Stardust, an androgynous and bisexual alien rock star who is sent to Earth as a saviour before a world-ending disaster. In the story, Ziggy becomes popular with fans but ends up destroying his life and being killed because of his pride. The glam rock and proto-punk style of the album was inspired by Iggy Pop, The Velvet Underground and Marc Bolan.

Critics gave _Ziggy Stardust_ good reviews. Some liked the musicality and concept, while others found it hard to understand. Shortly after the album came out, Bowie performed "Starman" on the British television show _Top of the Pops,_ which made him a big star. The album reached number 5 in UK Album Chart and 75 in the American Billboard album chart. A concert movie of the same name was directed by Donn Allan Pennibaker in 1973. The album ranks 35th place in the _Rolling Stone_ list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 2017, it was chosen to be preserved in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Alexander Mackenzie (explorer)

Sir **Alexander Mackenzie** (1764-1820) was a Scottish explorer who explored the area that is now the Northwest Territories. Mackenzie was born in Stornoway, on the Scottish island of Lewis with Harris in 1764. Mackenzie made his fortune as a fur trader in northwest Canada.

In 1789, Mackenzie left Fort Chipewyan on Lake Athabasca with a small party of Canadians and native guides. He travelled north to Great Slave Lake on a boat or a canoe. Then he followed the river that now bears his name, the Mackenzie River. He was the first European to travel on the Mackenzie River. It took him to the Arctic Ocean. He had hoped the river would lead him to the Pacific Ocean.

In 1801 he wrote the book "Voyages on the River Saint Lawrence and Through the Continent of North America, To the Frozen and Pacific Oceans in the Years 1789 and 1793".  This book contains information on native tribes and Canadian history of that time period.

He spent his last years in Scotland.

Jerusalem artichoke

- _The artichoke is a different plant_

The **Jerusalem artichoke** (_Helianthus tuberosus_), also called **sunroot**, **sunchoke**, **earth apple** or ***topinambour***, is a species of sunflower native to  eastern North America, and found from eastern Canada and Maine west to North Dakota, and south to northern Florida and Texas. It is also cultivated widely across the temperate zone for its tuber, which is used as a root vegetable.

## Description

The herbaceous plant is perennial. It can reach heights of up to . The leaves are oval, and grow to  to  wide, and  to  long. The plant has been imported to Europe, and it is seen as an invasive species - few animals eat it, and it will take away the space of other plants. This means that often, there is uncontrolled growth.

## Uses

The plant has been used to make spirits and sugar. It is a food plant for animals such as horses and pigs. People who suffer from diabetes often use it: Up to sixteen percent of the plant is made of the polysaccharide inulin.

## Pyramid scheme

In the 1980s, the Jerusalem artichoke also gained some notoriety when its seeds were planted by midwestern US farmers at the prodding of an agricultural pyramid scheme. There was little market for the tuber in that part of the US at the time, but farmers were assured it would soon appear on the commodity market. The only profits were realized by the initial distributors and the first few levels of farmers (who sold their seeds to other levels of the pyramid). As a result, many of the farms that had planted large quantities of the crop were ruined.
Elsa Lanchester

**Elsa Sullivan Lanchester** (28 October 1902 – 26 December 1986) was an English actress in theatre, movies, and television.

After World War I, she began performing in theatre and nightclubs. She met the actor Charles Laughton in 1927. They were married two years later. She began playing small roles in British movies.

Moses Fletcher

**Moses Fletcher** (c.1564–1620/1) was a passenger on the _Mayflower_ in 1620 and was one of the signers of the Mayflower Compact.

Fletcher was born in Sandwich in England.  He married Mary Evans in 1589 and had 10 children.  Fletcher worked as a blacksmith.

Fletcher did not want to be a member of the Church of England.  He did not follow some of the Church rules and told others that he did not believe in the teachings of the Church. On June 12, 1609, Moses Fletcher, along with the wife of future _Mayflower_ passenger James Chilton and several other persons were excommunicated from the church for the illegal burial of a child.

Fletcher became a Separatist.  This religion was illegal in England.  He and his family left England with the Chilton family and moved to Leiden in Netherlands.  His wife Mary died and he married Sarah, a widow from Leiden.

## On the Mayflower

Fletcher came on the Mayflower without his family.

The _Mayflower_ left Plymouth, England on 16 September 1620. There were 102 passengers and 30–40 crew. On 19 November 1620, they spotted land.  The _Mayflower_ was supposed to land in Virginia Colony, but the ship was damaged and they were forced to land 21 November at Cape Cod now called Provincetown Harbor.  They wrote the Mayflower Compact, which made rules on how they would live and treat each other.

## Plymouth Colony

Fletcher died in the winter of 1620–1621 in the general sickness.

Fletcher was buried in the Cole's Hill Burial Ground in Plymouth. His name is on the Pilgrim Memorial Tomb.

Bass Highway, Tasmania

The **Bass Highway** is a highway in Tasmania, Australia. It is a part of the National Highway, named National Highway 1. It joins the major cities across the north of the state - Burnie, Devonport and Launceston. The Bass Highway is, like Bass Strait, named for explorer George Bass.

The highway connects the following towns:
- Launceston
- Prospect and other Launceston suburbs
- Hadspen
- Carrick
- Hagley
- Westbury
- Exton
- Deloraine
- Elizabeth Town
- Sassafras
- Latrobe
- Devonport
- Forth
- Ulverstone
- Penguin
- Burnie

From Burnie, the Bass Highway is no longer a National Highway, and connects the following towns:

- Somerset
- Wynyard
- Smithton
- Marrawah

As part of the National Highway, there have been many changes to the highway. In the 1980s it was made longer to join the southern exit at Launceston which connects to the Midland Highway. Almost the entire length of the highway has been re-aligned to allow for dual carriageway, overtaking lanes, and the bypass of small towns.

Between Launceston and Deloraine, this had included Carrick and Hadspen in the 1980s and Deloraine in the early 1990s. The longest stretch of highway, the Hagley-Westbury bypass, was completed in 2001. People living in the small towns have been concerned that they no longer get passing trade. The 'old' highway, now known as the Meander Valley Highway, is promoted as a tourist route.

The highway between Latrobe and Somerset has had a similar re-alignment. This section of the highway is more of a commuter highway than a tourist highway, and as such the local economy does not rely on passing tourists.

Cole's Hill

**Cole's Hill** is the site of the first cemetery used by the Pilgrims in Plymouth Colony.  This is where they buried those who died in the winter of 1620-1621. Many were buried in secret and at night and corn was planted over their graves. This was to prevent the Native Americans from knowing how many of them had died. The hill is named after John Cole who built a house there in 1697. During the American Revolutionary War and again during the War of 1812 cannon were placed there behind earthworks to protect the town.

The hill is located on Carver Street. It is across the street from Plymouth Rock. Cole's Hill was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960. On the top of the hill is a statue of Massasoit, who befriended the Pilgrims. There is also a monument to the Pilgrims who died during the winter of 1620-21.

A taster remarked, "That's crackerjack!" (meaning "of excellent quality"). It became the product name.
Neonatal diabetes mellitus

**Neonatal diabetes mellitus** (NDM) is a type of diabetes. It happens during the first 6 months of human life. Infants with this condition do not produce enough insulin. This causes an increase of blood sugar. NDM is often mistaken for the much more common Type 1 diabetes, although type 1 often happens after the first 6 months of life. In almost 60% of those with NDM, this condition lasts their whole life.

Symptoms of NDM include thirst, frequent urination and dehydration. Most fetuses with NDM do not grow properly in the uterus. Newborns are much smaller than most other newborns. After birth, many babies do not gain enough weight or grow as rapidly as other babies.
Rosacea

**Rosacea** is common chronic inflammatory skin disorder that is characterized by redness, erythema, telangiectasis, papules or pustules, hyperplasia, or a combination of these manifestations. It gets worse if left untreated. There are four types of rosacea, three involving human skin and the fourth affecting eyes.

Rosacea affects approximately 5.46% prevalence in the world's adult population, especially affects mostly Caucasians (northern European descendants) and light-skinned populations. Rosacea affects both males and females. Females are three times more likely than males to get rosacea. It can happen to people of any age.

Things that can cause rosacea are several environmental factors like exposure of the face to extreme temperature, the heat of sunlight, severe sunburn, stress, depression, anxiety, alcohol and spicy foods. Also a genetic predisposition with a neurogenic inflammation and the family inheritance are relationated with this condition. Most people with rosacea have only mild redness and are never officially diagnosed or treated.
