Parts of Speech
When we speak or write English or any other language, we use sentence. Sentences are made up of words combined together and is meaningful. All words, especially in English, are divided into eight parts. These parts are also termed as Parts of speech.
So let us begin our lesson with
Parts of Speech
Speech means the expressions of thoughts in words. In easy words we can't read people's heart or mind. Like you can't hear what people think, Can you? so we need expressions to describe our thoughts. Thus, the thoughts expressed in words while speaking or writing is called speech.
The parts of speech are as follows:
1) Noun
2) Pronoun
3)Adjective
4) Verb
5)Adverb
6)Preposition
7)Conjunction
8) Interjection

Nobel Prizes
Nobel Prizes
Nobel prizes are given every year to persons who have made excellent contribution in the field of physics, chemistry,and physiology or medicine, also to persons who have crated the most outstanding literary work and who have made great contribution towards world peace. The Nobel Prize for economic sciences was started in 1969. Other Nobel Prizes were established in 1901.

The name in whose name the Nobel prizes were established was Alfred Bern hard Nobel, a Swedish chemist. he was born in Stockholm on 21 October 1833. His father Emmanuel Nobel was a scientist. Alfred Nobel had his education at St. petersberg in Russia and in Stockholm. he contributed his whole life to the field of Science. The discovery of dynamite enabled Nobel to become rich and get fame as days passed.
Alfred Nobel died on 10 December 1896 at the age of 63. He left behind a fabulous sum of $9.2 million as a foundation for the Nobel Prizes. The amount of each prize varies according to the interest from the fund.
Each Nobel Prize consists of a citation, a gold medal and about one million dollars. The prize may be shared by two or three and if no prize is given, the money is returned to the foundation. The selection of winners is done by distinguished persons of integrity and scholarship. The prizes are awarded every year on December, the anniversary of Nobel's death.

The First Writing
The First Writing
Early Men did not know how to write, but they used to draw pictures of animals on the walls of the caves.These were magic charms to keep them safe from evil spirits and to ask blessings for good hunting.In time each pictures came to have a special meaning. When a tribe wanted to keep a record of an important hunt, they would scratch pictures of it on pieces of bark or on stones. this reminded them and their children of what had happened.
The Ancient Egyptians drew and painted pictures on the clay tablets which were afterwards baked hard, or on stone or wood. In time these pictures came to mean sounds or letters, and this was the beginning of the first alphabets.
The Persians and Babylonians also wrote on clay, but they had a different kind of alphabet. They formed letters by pressing the end of a wedge-shaped stick into clay tablets.
Great libraries of these tablets have been discovered. We can learn from how Persian and Babylonian rulers kept their accounts and records, and the tablets tell us the instructions they wrote to their generals and ambassadors.
But clay tablets were heavy and took up a lot of room, so the Egyptians invented a new writing material. This was made from the pith of the papyrus reeds which grew beside the River Nile. Strips of the pith were placed across each other. Then they were joined by glue and beaten together into a sheet. Finally this was dried and polished.
Rolls of papyrus were easy to store and smooth enough to write on with a reed pen. Ink was made from a mixture of soot, water and gum.
So many people liked using papyrus that the Egyptians were able to sell a lot of it to other countries. At one time the king of Egypt would not allow the people of Pergamum to made their own writing material from animal skins, which they scraped clean and polished. This parchment, as it is called, was even better to write on than papyrus. it was smooth and white and lasted for a very long time.

Why is chilly hot?
The presence of a kind of chemical Capsaicin in chilly makes it hot. Capsaicin and several related compounds are called Capsaicinoids and are produced as secondary metabolites by chilly peppers, probably as deterrents against certain mammals and fungi.The amount of Capsaicin make a chilly hot, less hot or more hot. The amount of Capsaicin in capsicum is very low so, it is not hot.
The Scoville Heat Unit is the heat measurement of a chilly. It is named after Wilbur Scoville, an American Pharmacist, who in 1912 devised the “Scoville Organoleptic Test” to measure the spicy heat, or piquancy, of chilly peppers. The measurement is taken by extracting some of the capsaicin from a chilly, and then gradually diluting it into a sugar and water mix, until the heat is barely detectable by a panel of tasters. The degree of dilution gives the chilly its place in the scale. A bell pepper has a zero Scoville rating, whilst a habanero has 100,000 – 350,000 Scoville rating, meaning it must be diluted this many times before its Capsaicin levels become undetectable.Pure capsaicin measures 16,000,000 scoville units.
Capsaicin normally take effect upon sensitive skin, eye contact, and inhalation, and cause burning/stinging pain, and can also produce nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain… and burning diarrhoea.
Capsaicin is hydrophobic that's why it doesn’t dissolve in water. This means that drinking water if you eat a hot chilly will not help. It is however, soluble in both oil and alcohol, drinking or eating dairy products like milk, yogurt, cheese, etc will help, but beer or cider won’t do much to help.
