It is the tiniest member of the raccoon family of mammals. An olinguito is easily mistaken for its cousin, the olingo. But the former has a rounder face, tinier ears and a shorter tail. This shy 'bear-cat' is a night animal and has made the cloud forests of Eucador and Columbia its home. </div>

In 1853, an English sugeon named Joseph Lister observed that almost half of the patients on whom he performed amputations died of dreadful infections. Standards of hygine in operating theatres at this time were so bad that to be taken to hospital was almost a death sentence. Lister developed a system of cleaning everything that came into contact with a patients wounds with an 'antiseptic' called carbolic acid. He was able to prove that this method destroyed germs and greatly reduced infection.<br />
<br />
Now there are numerous antiseptics available in the market. Savlon, Dettol, Betadin, Vicco products are some antiseptics which are popular. Also these antiseptics are available in the form of cream, liquid, hand wash, wipes, band-aids and mouth wash.<br />

Ancient egyptians used mouldy bread to prevent wounds becoming infected. This is not as strange an idea as it sounds. In 1928, Scottish Professor Alexander Fleming was clearing out his laboratory when he noticed a dish of bacteria had become contaminated by a mould called Pencillium notatum. he observed that the bacteria had been killed where they had come into contact with the mould. after refiinement, the mould became the first antibiotic wonder-drug, now known as <strong>'Pencillin'</strong>.</div>

One of the most commonly used things in any house-hold in any part of the world is, the rubber band. The rubber band was first made in London in 1823 by Sir Thomas Hancock. Since then, there have been many improvemnts in the quality of the rubber band and it has come to be adjudged as one of the most important inventions of the 20th century.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even though the rubber band is used extensilvely as a packing aid, some people hit upon the idea of making a rubber ball by simply stretching rubber bands, one over the other. The world record ( as recognised by Guinness Book) is held by John Bane of Wilmington, Delaware, USA. Here are the statistics of the biggest rubber band ball in the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Weight - 2800 lbs</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Height - 5 feet</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Diameter - 15 feet</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Time taken - 4 years, 2 months</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Number of rubber bands used - 5 lakh, 50 thousand</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
cost - 12,000 dollars</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why does a rubber ball bounce?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rubber is viscoelastic material which means it is both viscous and elastic. Rubber is characterized by its resilence - if you drop it from a height of 1 metre, then it will bounce back to 0.5 to 0.7 metre depending on the rubber type and resilence value. Higher the resilence, higher is the bounce which means higher elasticity and lesser viscosity. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Generally, butadiene rubber has higher resilence property, followed by natural rubber. Due to this resilence property of rubber, it is used in tyres, etc.</div>

<strong>How to determine the age of a tree?</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you come across a timber depot, stop a bit and look closely at the cross-section of a tree trunk. You will observe a series of concentric circle. these circles indicate the age of a tree.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>How does it happen?</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When a tree grows, two types of layers grow around its trunk every year, one soft, the other hard. These layers grow around in circles. External factors such as extreme cold, heat, famine, excessive rain etc., determine the shape, size, and thickness of the layers. Since this takes place once every year, the age of the tree can easily be calculated.</div>
