TWO HUMPS OR ONE HUMPS!!


Camels have lived in the deserts for more than 3,000 years. Camels are mammals. They have long legs. They have a big lipped snout and a humped back.

There are two types of camels- Bactrian camel and Dromedary camel. 

                                                        


Bactrian Camel:- Bactrian Camel has two humps. They are generally found in the deserts of Mongolia and China. A small population of Bactrian camels exists in the Nubra valley of Ladakh (J&K) and some areas of southwest Kazakhstan. 

Dromedary Camel:- Dromedary Camel or Arabian camel has one hump. This camel is common to North Africa and Middle East.

The hump of a camel does not contain water as most people think! The hump contains fat. This fat gets broken down to get energy when the food is scarce. If the fat inside the camel’s hump is consumed, it will shrink, flop over, and hang at the camel’s side.

Humans have used camels as a means of transport for thousands of years. People in the Middle East use camels like horses. They ride them and use them to carry goods. Camels are called “ships of the desert”.

The climate of a desert is hot and dry and food and water are scarce. Camels have thick lips. So, they can eat plants which have thorns. A camel can drink up to 110 liters of water in just 13 minutes (approx.). It can survive up to six months without food or water.


          **FACT :- The Bactrian camel grows a thick coat of hair each winter. This coat of hair falls off in spring.**

Why developers like to code at night

Why developers like to code at night If you ask most developers when they prefer to work, many will say their most productive hours are at night.  Some like to start in the evening and work till the early hours while others get up super early – say, 4 a.m. – to get most of the programming work done before the daily grind kicks in. This work habit may make many developers seem like oddballs and misfits. However, there are quite a few reasons why so many programmers prefer to work during the odd hours: The maker’s schedule According to Paul Graham, people who “produce stuff” tend to adhere to the maker’s schedule – they prefer to use time in units of a half-day or longer. In fact, most developers have the same preference. For one thing, developers work on large abstract systems and need the mental space to process a model in its entirety. Having their schedules sliced into 15- or 30-minute chunks for emails, meetings, phone calls, and interruptions from co-workers is simply count...

When your Google My Business listing becomes your lifeline

-
The recent days and weeks have been a blur as I’ve helped clients manage their online reputations amid a global pandemic that continues to inflict a heavy toll. Oftentimes Google My Business has been in the eye of the storm, with business turning to their GMB listings to notify people of sudden changes ranging from scaled back hours to temporary closures. Here are three truths that have emerged from this experience: 1.Your GMB listing is your lifeline Under normal circumstances, people rely on a GMB listing to get essential information such as store hours and customer reviews to learn more about a business’s location. During the coronavirus pandemic, the nature of those searches changed rapidly as consumer’s behaviour changed. “What are your hours?” became “Are you open while we shelter in place?” “What does your menu look like?” became “Do you offer curbside delivery?” Businesses needed to respond quickly especially in the early going when Google had not yet rolled out special f...
