Was Einstein's Brain Different?


Of course it was-people's brains are as different as their faces. In his lifetime many wondered if there was anything especially different in Einstein's. He insisted that on his death his brain be made available for research. When Einstein died in 1955, pathologist Thomas Harvey quickly preserved the brain and made samples and sections. He reported that he could see nothing unusual. The variations were within the range of normal human variations. There the matter rested until 1999. Inspecting samples that Harvey had carefully preserved, Sandra F. Witelson and colleagues discovered that Einstein's brain lacked a particular small wrinkle (the parietal operculum) that most people have. Perhaps in compensation, other regions on each side were a bit enlarged-the inferior parietal lobes. These regions are known to have something to do with visual imagery and mathematical thinking. Thus Einstein was apparently better equipped than most people for a certain type of thinking. Yet others of his day were probably at least as well equipped-Henri Poincaré and David Hilbert, for example, were formidable visual and mathematical thinkers, both were on the trail of relativity, yet Einstein got far ahead of them. What he did with his brain depended on the nurturing of family and friends, a solid German and Swiss education, and his own bold personality.


A late bloomer:

Even at the age of nine Einstein spoke hesitantly, and his parents feared that he was below average intelligence. Did he have a learning or personality disability (such as "Asperger's syndrome," a mild form of autism)? There is not enough historical evidence to say. Probably Albert was simply a thoughtful and somewhat shy child. If he had some difficulties in school, the problem was probably resistance to the authoritarian German teachers, perhaps compounded by the awkward situation of a Jewish boy in a Catholic school.

Gibraltar's airport

World's only Runway Gate ... like Railway gate
The Gibraltarian airport is one of the funniest airports I have ever seen. As you can see in the picture, it goes deep into the sea. The only street that allows you to access Gib goes right through the airport. That means that if there is any plane landing or starting, the street is blocked and pedestrians and drivest have to wait for the green light. You can also see the border of Gibraltar and q long queue of cars.




we would have seen the vehicles waiting for the train to pass by in a railway gate. But have u ever seen the same waiting process is carried out for flights. So shal we cal dis as a "runway gate"




















on the waiting vehicles view.....

















Gibraltar Airport is the civilian airport that serves the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar on the Iberian Peninsula. It is owned by the Ministry of Defence for use by the Royal Air Force as RAF Gibraltar. Civilian operators use the airport; currently the only scheduled flights operate to the United Kingdom and Spain. Passengers depart and arrive through the civilian operated terminal.

Victoria Portrait Series

The first set of British India notes were the 'Victoria Portrait' Series issued in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 1000. These were unifaced, carried two language panels and were printed on hand-moulded paper manufactured at the Laverstock Paper Mills (Portals). The security features incorporated the watermark (GOVERNMENT OF INDIA, RUPEES, two signatures and wavy lines), the printed signature and the registration of the notes.

RUPEES TEN











RUPEES HUNDRED











British India Notes facilitated inter-spatial transfer of funds. As a security precaution, notes were cut in half. One set was sent by post. On confirmation of receipt, the other half was despatched by post. (like d one shown in tamil movies like AYAN and SIVAJI)


HALF NOTE


This series remained largely unchanged till the introduction of the 'King's Portrait' series which commenced in 1923.


Green Underprint - Rupees Five Hundred












Green Underprint - Rupees Five










Red Underprint - Rupees Fifty












SMALL DENOMINATION NOTES

The introduction of small denomination notes in India was essentially in the realm of the exigent. Compulsions of the first World War led to the introduction of paper currency of small denominations. Rupee One was introduced on 30th November, 1917 followed by the exotic Rupees Two and Annas Eight. The issuance of these notes was discontinued on 1st January, 1926 on cost benefit considerations. These notes first carried the portrait of King George V and were the precursors of the 'King's Portrait' Series which were to follow.

Rupee One - Obverse











Rupee One -Reverse










Rupees Two and Annas Eight - Obverse











KING'S PORTRAIT SERIES

Regular issues of this Series carrying the portrait of George V were introduced in May, 1923 on a Ten Rupee Note. The King's Portrait Motif continued as an integral feature of all Paper Money issues of British India. Government of India continued to issue currency notes till 1935 when the Reserve Bank of India took over the functions of the Controller of Currency. These notes were issued in denominations of Rs 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 10,000.

Rupees Fifty











Rupees One Thousand











Rupees Ten Thousand













the Bank's issues to January 1938 when the first Five Rupee note was issued bearing the portrait of George VI.

Rupees Five - First Note issued by Reserve Bank of India










This was followed by Rs 10 in February, Rs 100 in March and Rs 1,000 and Rs 10,000 in June 1938.

Rupees One Hundred











Rupees One Thousand











Rupees Ten Thousand












In August 1940, the one-rupee note was reintroduced, once again as a war time measure, as a Government note with the status of a rupee coin,

Rupee One Obverse











Rupee One Reverse











Rupees Two










As an added security feature, the security thread was introduced for the first time in India.
