Independence Day is annually celebrated on 15th August, as a national holiday in India 72th commemorating the nation's independence from the United Kingdom on 15 August 1947, the UK Parliament passed the Indian Independence Act 1947 transferring legislative sovereignty to the Indian Constituent Assembly. India still retained King George VI as head of state until its transition to full republican constitution. India attained independence following the Independence Movement noted for largely nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience led by the Indian National Congress (INC). Independence coincided with the partition of India, in which the British India was divided along religious lines into the Dominions of India and Pakistan; the partition was accompanied by violent riots and mass casualties, and the displacement of nearly 15 million people due to religious violence. On 15 August 1947, the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru raised the Indian national flag above the Lahori Gate of the Red Fort in Delhi. On each subsequent Independence Day, the incumbent Prime Minister customarily raises the flag and gives an address to the nation.

The International Space Station ( ISS )
The International Space Station ( ISS ) is a space station , or a habitable artificial satellite , in low Earth orbit . Its first component launched into orbit in 1998, the last pressurised module was fitted in 2011, and the station is expected to operate until 2028. Development and assembly of the station continues, with components scheduled for launch in 2018 and 2019. The ISS is the largest human-made body in low Earth orbit and can often be seen with the naked eye from Earth. The ISS consists of pressurised modules, external trusses, solar arrays , and other components. ISS components have been launched by Russian Proton and Soyuz rockets, and American Space Shuttles .
The ISS Space Sky Laser is a Class IV high-power laser light projection system primarily used at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center (KSCVC). It was used to project an extreme 0.1 of divergence 532Nm (Neon Green) high power 200+ Watt laser beam at the ISS (International Space Station) for KSCVC view tracking on December, 26-31st 2014.
The first Space Laser Light Projection was used for 12 hours continuously just prior to launching a Delta IV heavy rocket launch with Orion EFT-1 Mars deep space capsule into space on December, 5th 2014. The ISS Space Sky Laser was filmed by many news media. They stipulated that the colour green from the laser signified "Go" for launch and that the laser beam was a send-off to the Orion EFT-1 capsule to the planet Mars, even though it was an unmanned test flight. The laser is the only type of visible light high-power laser ever used at the Kennedy Space Center. It was developed by Tribal Existance Productions Worldwide (TEP Worldwide) and was certified by NASA's radiation protection officer Randall Scott CLSO and Ino Medic Health Physics Department of NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). It remains on file for approved use with governmental, scientific and education uses with the operational design guidance from Tribal Existance Productions Worldwide.
In December 2017, the Laser became the subject of attention due to its supposed encounter with an alien spacecraft. This conspiracy theory, supposedly substantiated by video evidence, claimed that an unidentified spacecraft fired intermittent lasers at the ISS Space Sky Laser. The account was explained as a lens flare or reflections from the ISS itself.
The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) reported that many civilian commercial airliners viewed this event hundreds of miles away from the Space Center.

Robot of citizenship, the advance of the new world in the Arab world
"Robot of citizenship, the advance of the new world in the Arab world"
It is known that the robot is a woman and her name is Sofia.
Artificial intelligence is no longer in the imagination stage. It has been growing with the help of time. In countries like China and Japan, experimental robots have begun to be used. Saudi Arabia has taken a new step in all this. According to a report published in the international press al-Arabiya, the middle eastern country has decided to give citizenship to citizenship. The published report claims that this is the first time a citizen of a robot is given citizenship.
It is known that the robot is a woman and her name is Sofia. Already in Sofia the capital participated in the Future Investment Summit organized in Riyadh. Organize this Summit to draw foreign investment for the country's modernization. At the ceremony, Sophia said, "Thank you to Saudi Arabia. I am proud and honored to receive this unique honor. It's a historic moment. Because this was the first time a robot got citizenship all over the world. "

Jellyfish or sea jelly
Jellyfish or sea jelly is the informal common name given to the medusa-phase of certain gelatinous members of the subphylum
Medusozoa , a major part of the phylum
Cnidaria . Jellyfish are mainly free-swimming marine animals with umbrella-shaped bells and trailing tentacles, although a few are not mobile, being anchored to the seabed by stalks. The bell can pulsate to provide propulsion and highly efficient locomotion . The tentacles are armed with stinging cells and may be used to capture prey and defend against predators. Jellyfish have a complex life cycle; the medusa is normally the sexual phase, the planula larva can disperse widely and is followed by a sedentary polyp phase.
Jellyfish are found all over the world, from surface waters to the deep sea. Scyphozoans (the "true jellyfish") are exclusively marine, but some hydrozoans with a similar appearance live in freshwater . Large, often colorful, jellyfish are common in coastal zones worldwide. The medusae of most species are fast growing, mature within a few months and die soon after breeding, but the polyp stage, attached to the seabed, may be much more long-lived. Jellyfish have roamed the seas for at least 500 million years, and possibly 700 million years or more, making them the oldest multi-organ animal group.
Jellyfish are eaten by humans in certain cultures, being considered a delicacy in some Asian countries, where species in the
Rhizostomae are pressed and salted to remove excess water. They are also used in research, where the green fluorescent protein, used by some species to cause
bioluminescence , has been adapted as a fluorescent marker for genes inserted into other cells or organisms. The stinging cells used by jellyfish to subdue their prey can also injure humans. Many thousands of swimmers are stung every year, with effects ranging from mild discomfort to serious injury or even death; small box jellyfish are responsible for many of these deaths. When conditions are favourable, jellyfish can form vast swarms. These can be responsible for damage to fishing gear by filling fishing nets, and sometimes clog the cooling systems of power and desalination plants which draw their water from the sea.

Human Genetics
Genetics researchers announced today that they will beginning a five-year plan to create a map of human migrations based on DNA mapping. The "Genographic Project" will be funded by the Waitt Family Foundation , IBM Corporation , and the National Geographic Society , and plans to collect 100,000 samples of DNA from people all over the world in order to sequence how related to each other they are. Details on data collection have not yet been specified, but there are implications that some of the data will come from field work among indigenous groups, and that other individuals may purchase kits to submit their own DNA in order to learn about their own genes.
The project has drawn immediate comparison with the failed Human Genome Diversity Project from the 1990s, which ended after controversy over the patenting of the DNA of indigenous peoples. The Genographic Project leaders say that they will make the information from their project public and will not patent genes. Whether or not researchers using the data will be subject to licensing guidelines, or whether they can patent their own discoveries using the data, remains to be answered.
In the last decade, the role of IBM tabulating machines in the Holocaust has been explored and criticized by a number of historians, and National Geographic has often been a target of critical theorists who have seen it as often representing the "gaze" of imperialism and Orientalism .
Previous genetic mapping projects which focused on specific ethnic groups have met with continuous controversy, with allusions often made to the projects of racial
anthropometry of the early 20th century which served as the "scientific" backbone to scientific racism and eugenics legislation. Though the Genographic Project participants have tried to emphasize that their project will be to look at the "similarities" between different groups of people rather than the "differences," it seems likely to remain a controversial issue.
