The Three Patient Friends

Once upon a time, five beautiful ladies gained admission into the same university. They did not know each other prior to entering the university. But they took interest in one another. Soon, they became friends and were eating and studying together for. For four years, they maintained this relationship, even till they graduated.

however, during the national service, they were posted to different state though all in the western part of Nigeria. This gave them the opportunity of visiting each other. One day, towards the end of their service saw and advertisement in a national daily, calling for applications from job seekers. Luckily, the job fitted them. Thus, the one that saw the advertisement, went and informed others. The next day, the went to the advertisers. When the got there. They saw many people who wanted to be interviewed. But the date was postponed to the following day. On the appointed day, they all assembled in the premises, but the interviewers told them to come by 4pm. However, some people got angry and left.

by 4pm, the five friends came back and waited till 6pm. The interview was deliberately postponed thrice, to see if any of the candidates would withdraw voluntarily out of impatience and frustration. Indeed, many other people left, remaining the five friend, and the panel needed only five patient candidates. The panel told the five friends to come back the following day by 9.00am.

by 9.00am on the appointed day, the panel told them the company's " game plan".

The panel served them drinks, instead of giving them questions. They were congratulated and given appointment letters to begin work the following week.

Even as I write, i really agree that "The patient Dog eats the fattest bone".

They went home joyfully.

"The patient Dog eats the fattest bone".

ISRO ready for a critical crew rescuing test

The Crew Module Atmospheric Re-entry Experiment which was test-flown by the ISRO two years ago.—PHOTO: THULASI KAKKAT It will test how fast and effectively the crew module of an intended space mission could punch out from a spacecraft The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is gearing up to conduct a critical ‘crew bailout test’ to see how fast and effectively the crew module of an intended space mission could punch out from the spacecraft safely in the event of an emergency. The test, known as Pad Abort, will be held at the launch pad of Sriharikota High Altitude Range (SHAR) in a month or two, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) Director K. Sivan told The Hindu in an interaction on the sidelines of the ongoing expo in connection with the World Space Week celebrations at Ernakulathappan ground here. The test forms part of a gamut of critical technologies being developed by the space agency as it awaits the nod from the government for the ambitious ‘human in sp...

Scientists makes use of bacteria to power on a tiny engine

The engine which uses a colloidal particle that is optically trapped using a laser beam. Researchers from Bengaluru’s Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research achieved a major breakthrough when they designed a microscopic heat engine that operates at 50-60 per cent efficiency by relying on changes in bacterial activity. The results were published on August 29 in the journal Nature Physics . While a conventional engine relies on very high temperature difference to move the piston back and forth, the microscopic heat engine developed by the researchers relies on very small changes in temperature input to impact bacterial activity to achieve large work done by the engine. The tiny heat engine uses a colloidal particle of 5 micrometre size (1/50 the thickness of the human hair) that is optically trapped using a laser beam. The extent to which the particle can move is controlled by varying the i...

scientist targets Moving beyond the solar system to exoplanets

an artisitic view of the kepler space. Ever since the first exoplanet (51 Pegasi b) was discovered in 1995 by Michael Mayor and Didier Queloz, there has been renewed activity and interest in this field. The Kepler and K2 missions of NASA have identified thousands of planet candidates. Now there are nearly 5,000 planet candidates, and of these, some 3,397 have been confirmed as planets, according to the NASA exoplanet archive. The latest entry into the list of confirmed exoplanets is Kepler-56 d, which was added on 13 October. This planet has an orbital period of 1,002 days, accurate to five days, and a mass of nearly 5.61 times that of Jupiter. It is a massive planet that orbits its star Kepler-56 whose radius is about 4.23 times the sun’s radius and which is about 1.32 times as massive as the sun. This planet is only the third to be discovered orbiting its star Kepler-56. Being very massive, its presence was originally inferred by the periodic changes in Kepler-...
