1) Sargasso sea
Collective noun of Jellyfish is
"smuck".
3) Rose
Rose
was used as a symbol for silence or secrecy, this goes back to the ancient Egyptians
or Greeks, where initiates into the “mysteries,” or pre-Christian religions,
wore roses during ceremonies to indicate that they would keep inviolate any
secrets that were passed on to them. In many countries it was customary to hang
a rose over secret meetings or gatherings—hence the term sub-rosa (literally
“under the rose”) to mean confidential.In the 16 th century, the Pope declared
that a rose be carved in confession booths to symbolize confidentiality,
secrecy and privacy. Back in World War II, an anti-Nazi political group
was set up by a group of students in Munich. Germany. This group, which upheld
the ideals of political freedom, was called “The White Rose”.
4) Black
The symbol was originally designed in 1912 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, co-founder of the modern Olympic Games.
According to de Coubertin, the ring colours with the white background stand for
those colors that appeared on all the national flags that competed in the
Olympic games at that time.
5) Avocado
The avocado is
the first high protein fruit to include in your diet. Although it's
often incorrectly labeled as a vegetable, an avocado is really a
fruit. It is a rich source of other nutrients besides protein. It provides
zinc, folic acid and fiber. Unlike other fruits, an avocado is a
source of fats that are healthy for your heart. If there is one downside to
an avocado, it is that its calorie content is relatively high. The amount
of protein found in avocados is richer than that found in cow's milk. The
protein in an avocado is more useful than that found in cooked steak,
because cooked protein is not available to your liver. Your liver is the organ
that makes all the protein in your body.
6) Cricket
The Sunfoil
Series is the main domestic first class cricket competition in South Africa, first contested (as the Currie Cup)
in 1889-90.
From 1990-91 it
became known as theCastle Cup, from 1996-97 as
the Supersport Series and from 2012-13 by its current title.
The Regional
Four Day Competition,[1] formerly
known as Shell Shield and Carib Beer Cup, is the first class cricket competition in the West Indies, it is administered
by the West Indies Cricket Board. The winners of the tournament are awarded the George Headley/Everton Weekes trophy.In 1986-87 however, it was renamed
to Red Stripe Cup (from the beer brand Red Stripe).
Ranji
Trophy is a domestic first-class cricket championship
played in Indiabetween teams representing regional cricket
associations, equivalent to theCounty Championship in
England and the Sheffield Shield in Australia. The competition is named after
England and Sussex cricketer Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji(Jam Sahib of Nawanagar, also known as "Ranji").
7) South China
The South
China Sea is a marginal sea that is part of the Pacific Ocean, encompassing an area from
the Singapore and Malacca Straits to the Strait of Taiwan of around 3,500,000
square kilometres (1,400,000 sq mi). The area's importance largely results
from one-third of the world's shipping transiting through its waters, and that
it is believed to hold huge oil and gas reserves beneath its seabed.[2]
8) Marie Curie Physics
& 1903 Chemistry 1911
Marie
Skłodowska-Curie (7 November 1867 – 4 July 1934) was a French-Polishphysicist and chemist,
famous for her pioneering research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize,
the only woman to win in two fields, and the only person to win in multiple sciences. She
was also the first female professor at the University of Paris (La Sorbonne), and
in 1995 became the first woman to be entombed on her own merits in the Panthéon in Paris.
She shared her 1903 Nobel Prize in
Physics with
her husband Pierre Curie and with physicist Henri Becquerel. She was the sole winner of the 1911 Nobel Prize in
Chemistry.
9) Blue
The blood is blue/bluish green in Octopus.
The
blue color comes from hemocyanin, the copper-containing protein that binds oxygen in the
octopus. In addition to being blue, octopus blood is a poor carrier of oxygen,
which helps explain the animal's sometimes apparent laziness. To cope with the
low oxygen levels, the octopus maintains a constant high blood pressure and has
three hearts. Two of the hearts pump oxygen-rich blood through the gills, while
the third circulates it through the rest of the body.
Octopus
blood contains the copper-rich protein hemocyanin for transporting oxygen.
Although less efficient under normal conditions than the iron-rich hemoglobin
of vertebrates, in cold conditions with low oxygen pressure, hemocyanin oxygen transportation is
more efficient than hemoglobin oxygen transportation. The hemocyanin is
dissolved in the plasma instead of being carried within red blood cellsand gives the blood a bluish color
10) The Wattle Blossom
The golden wattle, Acacia pycnantha, is Australia's national flower.
The blue color comes from hemocyanin, the copper-containing protein that binds oxygen in the octopus.
