  1. What's the Difference Between Alligators and Crocodiles? Coming face to face with a crocodile or an alligator, you'd see a mouth full of serrated teeth that would likely scare the bejeezus out of you. The two reptile groups are close relatives, so their physical similarities are expected. Upon closer inspection, not recommended out in the wild, you'd spot glaring differences: Snout shape: Alligators have wider, U-shaped snouts, while crocodile front ends are more pointed and V-shaped. Toothy grin: When their snouts are shut, crocodiles look like they're flashing a toothy grin, as the fourth tooth on each side of the lower jaw sticks up over the upper lip. For alligators, the upper jaw is wider than the lower one, so when they close their mouths, all their teeth are hidden. Home base: Crocodiles tend to live in saltwater habitats, while alligators hang out in freshwater marshes and lakes. They belong to the subgroup Eusuchia, which includes about 22 species divided into three families: the fish-eating gavials or gharials, which belong to the Gavialidae; today's crocodiles or the Crocodylidae; and the Alligatoridae, or alligators. Eusuchians appeared on the scene during the late Cretaceous some 100 million or so years ago.

  3. What’s the Difference Between Baking Soda and Baking Powder? Baking soda and baking powder are both leavening agents, which are substances used to help baked goods rise. Experienced and amateur bakers alike often confuse them due to their similar names and appearances. This article explains the differences between baking soda and baking powder and how interchanging one for the other may affect your baked goods. What is baking soda? Baking soda is a leavening agent used in baked goods like cakes, muffins, and cookies. Formally known as sodium bicarbonate, it’s a white crystalline powder that is naturally alkaline, or basic . Baking soda becomes activated when it’s combined with both an acidic ingredient and a liquid. Upon activation, carbon dioxide is produced, which allows baked goods to rise and become light and fluffy . This is why recipes that include baking soda will also list an acidic ingredient, such as lemon juice or buttermilk What is baking powder? Unlike baking soda, baking powder is a complete leavening agent, meaning it contains both the base (sodium bicarbonate) and acid needed for the product to rise. Cornstarch is also typically found in baking powder. It’s added as a buffer to prevent the acid and base from activating during storage. Similarly to how baking soda reacts with water and an acidic ingredient, the acid in baking powder reacts with sodium bicarbonate and releases carbon dioxide once it’s combined with a liquid. Single- and double-acting baking powders are available, though single-acting varieties are typically only used by food manufacturers and not usually available for household use . When a recipe calls for baking powder, it’s most likely referring to the double-acting kind. This means the powder creates two separate reactions: initially, when combined with liquid at room temperature, and secondly, once the mixture is heated. For many recipes, an extended reaction is favorable, so the leavening, or rising, doesn’t happen all at once. When to use which one Baking soda is used in recipes that also include an acidic ingredient, such as cream of tartar, buttermilk, or citrus juice. Conversely, baking powder is typically used when the recipe doesn’t feature an acidic ingredient, as the powder already includes the acid needed to produce carbon dioxide. Baked good mixtures can vary greatly in their acidity level. To produce a desirable baked good, you need to find the right balance between acid and base. Some recipes may call for both baking soda and baking powder. Typically this is because the recipe contains an acid that needs to be offset by the baking soda but may not be enough to completely leaven the product.

  5. A mid-engine Chevy Corvette has been rumored for decades and it’s a reality for 2020. Carrying the famed Stingray moniker, it’s the most aggressively styled ‘Vette yet, with a wild exotic-car appearance. It comes with removable roof panels that can be stored in the forward-situated trunk. A 6.2-liter V8 engine sits behind the driver and resides beneath a clear panel. It pumps 490 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The cockpit is driver-focused and features a pair of electronic displays and no fewer than a dozen selectable driving modes. A revised suspension promises added handling abilities, and it can be upgraded with an adjustable unit that lets the driver dial in stiffness and ride height, or General Motors’ Magnetic Ride Control auto-adjusting system. Amazingly, it starts at under $60,000
  6. The US President says the decision has been taken 'in light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our great American Citizens' Days after the US government allowed applicants for H-1B visas to continue in the country, President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced a temporary suspension of immigration into the country. “In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!,” the US President wrote in a Twitter post. Details of Trump's executive order were not immediately known. He also did not indicate when he will sign such an order. While Trump talked about suspending immigration visa, the H-1B visa, which is more po[CENSORED]r among Indian IT professionals, is a non-immigrant visa. But his reasoning that he needs to protect jobs of American citizens indicates that non-immigrant work visas too might be on his target. "NASSCOM seeks details on the Executive Order of the President of the United States suspending immigration temporarily," India’s IT services industry body National Association of Software and Services Companies tweeted later in the day in response to President Trump’s tweet. The United States, due to coronavirus, has experienced a record layoff. As off last week, a record number of 22 million Americans have applied for unemployment benefits. The move comes against the backdrop of an unprecedented economic crisis looming on account of the coronavirus pandemic, which has taken a heavy toll on the US. The country has been the most affected globally, both in terms of number of confirmed Covid-19 cases and death toll. As of Tuesday morning in India, the country’s total cases stood at 792,759, and death toll at 42,514.

  9. Difference Between Past and Present Lifestyles in terms of Religion and Beliefs Past: During the past, people lived with the concepts of religion, nature, economy and village. These concepts were always bound to one another. Religion dictated their whole lives. Present: But today the situation has changed. People are too busy to pay any attention to their religion and beliefs. The advancement of science and technology has also led people to question the validity of religion.
  10. Difference Between Past and Present Lifestyles in terms of Housing Past: In the past, people lived in caves, mud, and wood huts, etc. They used natural ingredients to build their houses. Present: Housing over the past few decades have changed in terms of shape, mode of creation, size, place and purpose and so on. Today material such as bricks, cement, plastic and anything and everything is used in housing. Technology advancement has given freedom for the human being to go beyond nature to create human dwellings.

  12. NEW DELHI: In a major outbreak in the Indian Navy, at least 26 sailors have tested positive for the highly contagious coronavirus in Mumbai, which comes at a time when Covid-19 has adversely hit operations of at least four US and one French nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. Sources said the sailors, who are from the from the main shore-based logistics depot INS Angre of the Western Naval Command, have been quarantined at at the naval hospital INHS Asvini Mumbai. .A massive “contact tracing” operation is underway to find out the people who have come in contact with the sailors, all of whom stay in one particular block of the bachelors’ residential accommodation at INS Angre. “The residential block has been declared a containment zone, with the entire INS Angre being put under total lockdown,” said a source. INS Angre is co-located with the naval dockyard at Mumbai, where several frontline warships and submarines are docked. “A sailor, who was in touch with an ex-serviceman, had first tested positive for Covid-19 on April 7. On aggressively checking and testing all his primary contacts, 25 other sailors have now been found to be positive. Most of them are asymptomatic. More tests are in progress,” said a source. This is the biggest coronavirus outbreak in the over 15-lakh strong armed forces till now, even as Maharashtra has proved to be the worst-hit state in the country. The Army has so far reported eight cases, including two doctors, one in New Delhi and the other in Kolkata. Navy chief Admiral Karambir Singh on April 9 had stressed the need for his force to guard against outbreaks of the deadly coronavirus on board warships and submarines while continuing to maintain full operational readiness, as was reported by TOI. “We have to ensure our operational assets, warships and submarines, remain free from the virus…I know it’s a very difficult task because physical distancing on board warships, especially submarines, is a great challenge,” Admiral Singh had said in the video message to the rank and file of the 140-warship and 235-aircraft maritime force. The Navy chief’s message came soon after four American 100,000-tonne aircraft carriers, USS Theodore Roosevelt, USS Ronald Reagan, USS Carl Vinson and USS Nimitz, as well as the French Navy's flagship Charles de Gaulle reported Covid-19 cases. The case of USS Theodore Roosevelt, in particular, created shock waves in military circles earlier this month after it was forced to dock at Guam to evacuate most of its around 5,000 sailors, leaving only a skeletal crew on board to maintain its nuclear reactor and other critical operations. The skipper, Captain Brett Crozier, who himself has tested Covid-19 positive now, was relieved of command after his letter criticizing the Pentagon’s handling of the outbreak on board the mammoth warship became public.“We are not at war…sailors do not need to die,” he wrote. The controversy also led to acting US Navy secretary Thomas Modly’s resignation for mishandling the situation and mocking Capt Crozier.

  15. Difference Between Past and Present Lifestyles in Using Equipment and Machinery Past: In the past, our ancestors used to work with small tools that were made out of animal bones or wood. Animals were also used for ploughing, carrying loads, etc. Present: With evolution, people started to use metals to make equipment like knives, and other tools. Now, equipment are made out of several material such as carbon, fiber, and especially plastic to make things used for daily usage. Today we use machines to do the same things with less effort and time. Machinery has made life easier on earth in terms of efficiency. However, weapons can be termed as a negative outcome of the equipment evolution.
