One science teacher gave students an interesting task: visiting a zoo or zoological museum.

With a notebook in hand, I started jotting down different keywords (attributes) associated with light. The...

  द हिलिंग नाईफ ! सतरा वर्षांचा जॉर्ज , व्हाइट रशियन नौदलामध्ये लेफ्टनंट पदावर अधिकारी होता.   बोल्शेविक सेनेच्या एका गटाविरुद्ध   उघडलेल्या आघाडीवर   त्याला पाठवले जाते. किनारपट्टीवर उतरल्यावर त्याच्या तुकडीला बोल्शेविक खंदकावर हल्ला करण्याचा आदेश मिळतो. जॉर्ज त्याच्या तुकडीचे नेतृत्व करत खंदकावर घमासान हल्ला चढवतो. तुफान गोळाबारी सुरू होते. खंदकात उतरून संगिनी आणि तलवारींचा खणखणाट सुरू होतो. जखमी सैनिकांना मागे तळावर पाठवून त्यांची जागा नवे सैनिक घेत असतात. लढत असताना जॉर्जच्या एका मित्राला गोळी लागते. गोळी लागलेली दिसताच जॉर्ज त्याच्या जागी कुमक पाठवून ,   मित्राला सुश्रुषेसाठी मागे तळावर पाठवतो.          संध्याकाळनंतर लढाईचा जोर ओसरतो. दोन्ही बाजू योग्य अंतर राखत माघार घेत आपापले मोर्चे पक्के करतात. रात्री तळाकडे परत आल्यावर जॉर्ज जखमी सैनिकांची चौकशी करत मशाली आणि शेकोट्यांच्या उजेडात   तात्पुरत्या उभारलेल्या उपचार केंद्रात आपल्या मित्राला शोधून काढतो. मित्र बराच जखमी होऊन ग्लानीत गेलेला असतो. तळावरील परिचार...
