Mosquito help, criminal inside
In the twenty-first century, the help of science is revolutionizing human life. Changes are being seen in daily life, its influence is also being seen in the world of police-criminal. According to a report in the newspaper ‘South China Morning Post’, the police were able to trace the culprit and catch him with the help of the mosquito. It happened that after breaking into the house, the thief took the valuables and ran away. During the investigation, the police found that after cleaning his hands, the hungry thief cooked noodles and slept with mosquito coils lit and blankets to protect him from mosquitoes. The police found two dead mosquitoes and blood stains on the wall of the room. Since the stain was fresh, the police assumed that the blood belonged to the thief and sent it for DNA testing. The report revealed that the blood belonged to a notorious criminal and the police arrested him. During interrogation, the criminal confessed to that and four other burglaries. Thus the mosquito solved the problem of five burglars. Nana Patekar’s dialogue from the film ‘Yashwant’ can be rewritten as ‘Ek achcha macchar, gunehgar ko kadhanga sakta hai.’

A quarter of a minute flight
If you are told that it is time to land one to a hundred times after boarding the plane, you must laugh it off. However, this is a fact. Britain has two tiny islands, Westray and Papa Westray. According to Guinness World Records, the world’s shortest air journey is between these two places. A flight from Vestre takes just one minute and 14 seconds to cover a distance of 1.7 miles (2.72 km) to reach Papa Vestre. If there is a favorable wind and there is less luggage in the plane, this journey is completed in 53 seconds. Islanders have been criticized for using airplanes for such short air journeys, but the dangerous twenty-minute ferry ride they have left them with no alternative to flying for essential transportation. There has been a lot of talk about building a bridge between the two islands, but no concrete work has been done in that direction. A small plane used in air travel has only enough space for the pilot and eight passengers to sit crammed together. You must have realized that there is no facility in this plane and what is the need? This sat and this landed.

Landlocked and double landlocked trees
Switzerland is a landlocked country (Gujarati word for landlocked country). A country which is surrounded by land on all four sides and does not have direct connection with sea route is known as landlocked country. There are 49 such countries in the world including Switzerland. Due to this kind of geographical situation, such countries are deprived of trade by sea, which has a negative effect on the country’s economy, history says.
However, it is worth noting that there are a handful of countries that are economically prosperous despite being landlocked countries, and Switzerland is one of them. Before 1990, the number of landlocked countries in the world was 30. Then the number of such countries increased following the geographical changes in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. Liechtenstein (Central Europe) and Uzbekistan (Central Asia) are two double landlocked countries in this list. It means that there are landlocked countries around these two countries and to reach the coast from here you have to cross the border of the two countries.

Mauja Hi Mauja to Mini Masi!
As a child you may have enjoyed the poem that begins with the line ‘I have petted a cat that is very motley in colour’. Over the past few years, there has been a drastic increase in the animal love of humans. The craze of petting a cat known as mini masi is also growing. A 33-year-old woman named Sally, a resident of the state of Virginia, USA, has become an example in raising animals. The royal family brings home three stray cats and keeps them in their house. When she goes shopping, she always picks up something for her aunts. Buying something like a lounge, small chair and arranging special furniture for them.

Have red hair on your head? So watch the movie for free
Know first that it is about UK. Here and in Europe, the heat has taken a toll on me this year. The observatory has expressed that this week the temperature will break the record of 38.7 degrees centigrade of 2019 and reach 40 degrees. Sweltering heat is an invitation to illness. In this climate, the British are trying to cool down. A company that owns theaters across the country has offered free entry to the auditorium to avoid the heat. One condition of course is that the hair on the head should be red. A person with red hair is more susceptible to the damaging effects of the sun’s rays than other people. So such people can sit in a fully air-conditioned theater and enjoy both the joy and relief of watching the latest movie. Of course, no clarification has been made about whether there is any arrangement to arrest people who want to avail this facility by putting a red color kalpa on their head.
