Earth’s Quietest Place Will Drive You Crazy in 45 Minutes

Earth’s Quietest Place Will Drive You Crazy in 45 Minutes Inside the room it’s so silent that the background noise measured is actually negative decibels December 17, 2013 Everybody seems to be looking for a little peace and quiet these days. But even such a reasonable idea can go too far. The quietest place on earth, an anechoic chamber at Orfield Laboratories in Minnesota, is so quiet that the longest anybody has been able to bear it is 45 minutes. Inside the room it's silent. So silent that the background noise measured is actually negative decibels, -9.4 dBA. Steven Orfield, the lab's founder, told Hearing Aid Know: “We challenge people to sit in the chamber in the dark – one person stayed in there for 45 minutes. When it’s quiet, ears will adapt. The quieter the room, the more things you hear. You’ll hear your heart beating, sometimes you can hear your lungs, hear your stomach gurgling loudly. In the anechoic chamber, you become the sound." But the room isn't just

Three-Toed Sloths

Image
The Three-Toed Sloths are the Slowest Animal in the world. The  three-toed sloths are arboreal neotropical mammals (also known as "three-fingered" sloths). They are the only members of the genus Bradypus and the family Bradypodidae. The four living species of three-toed sloths are the brown-throated sloth, the maned sloth, the pale-throated sloth, and the pygmy three-toed sloth. In complete contrast to past morphological studies, which tended to place Bradypus as the sister group to all other folivorans, molecular studies place them nested within the sloth superfamily Megatherioidea, making them the only surviving members of that radiation. Extant species Evolution A study of mitochondrial cytochrome b and 16S rRNA sequences suggests that B. torquatus diverged from B. variegatus and B. tridactylus about 12 million years ago, while the latter two split 5 to 6 million years ago. The diversification of B. variegatus lineages was estimated to have started 4 to 5 mill

Motorola DynaTAC 8000x

.  Martin Cooper  of Motorola made the first publicized handheld mobile phone call on a prototype DynaTAC model on April 3, 1973. This is a reenactment in 2007. DynaTAC  is a series of cellular   telephones manufactured by Motorola, Inc. from 1983 to 1994. The Motorola DynaTAC 8000X commercial portable cellular phone received approval from the U.S. FCC on September 21, 1983.  A full charge took roughly 10 hours, and it offered 30 minutes of talk time.  It also offered an LED display for dialing or recall of one of 30 phone numbers. It was priced at $3,995 in 1984, its commercial release year, equivalent to $9,952 in 2020 . DynaTAC was an abbreviation of "Dynamic Adaptive Total Area Coverage." Several models followed, starting in 1985 with the 8000s, and continuing with periodic updates of increasing frequency until 1993's Classic II. The DynaTAC was replaced in most roles by the much smaller Motorola MicroTAC when it was first introduced in 1989, and by the ti

How to Sleep on Your Side Without Waking Up with a Sore Back or Neck

-

Sleeping on your back has long been recommended for a good night’s rest without waking up in pain. However, there are more benefits to sleeping on your side than previously thought. Research shows that side sleeping is more common among older adults, as well as those with a higher body mass index (BMI). Despite the benefits to side sleeping, you can only gain these if you get into the correct position. Otherwise, the pain in your spine, neck, and joints will outweigh the benefits of sleeping on your side. Here’s what to know about side sleeping and how to do it correctly: Benefits of sleeping on your left or right side While sleeping on your back has long been thought to be the ideal sleeping position, research is showing that side sleeping can have just as many benefits. When done correctly with the proper body alignment, sleeping on your side can reduce both joint and low back pain, as well as chronic pain associated with long-term conditions like fibromyalgia. Another be

Why is AC installed in ATM? Why is AC installed in ATM room?

-

The answer to most of you would be that if you are engaged for AC customers in ATMs, you are wrong. Today we will talk about  why AC is installed in the ATM machine, while no person stays in the ATM for a long time? Actually banks put AC in their ATM room not to give frost to their customers but to cool the ATM machine. Well now you will think that  why cool the ATM machine?  As we know that the integrated computer which is installed in the ATM machine for the transaction process, it keeps running 24×7. Due to continuous work, the microprocessor and other devices in the computer are not able to withstand the high heat and can get damaged. Due to which the ATM room is AC installed.  The microprocessor is the most heat sensitive inside the ATM room. However, any microprocessor has its own circuit breaker which breaks or blocks the circuit after a certain heat, which we know as 'computer hang' due to which the microprocessor or other parts burn out. are saved.

How Much Water Actually Goes Into Making A Bottle Of Water?

-

The amount of water to make the bottle could be up to six or seven times what's inside the bottle, according to the Water Footprint Network. Environmental activists have long claimed that bottled water is wasteful. Usually, they point to the roughly 50 billion (mostly plastic) bottles we throw away every year. The International Bottled Water Association, ever sensitive to criticism that it's wasting precious resources, has commissioned its first ever study to figure out how much water goes into producing one liter. The results, released this month, show that for North American companies, it takes 1.39 liters to make one liter of water. That's less than the global averages of a liter of soda, which requires 2.02 liters of water. A liter of beer, meanwhile, needs 4 liters of water, wine demands 4.74 liters. Hard alcohol, it turns out, is the greediest, guzzling 34.55 liters of water for every liter. This, the bottled water industry says, is evidence that its produ
