Because of the nature of human perception, equal intervals of brightness are actually equal ratios of luminous flux. Pogson’s proposal was that one increment in magnitude be the fifth root of 100. This means that each increment in magnitude corresponds to an increase in the amount of energy by 2.512, approximately. A fifth magnitude star is 2.512 times as bright as a sixth, and a fourth magnitude star is 6....

Indian cuisine generally relies on vegetables and spices, including the famous curries. In India, curries are not pre-purchased, rather they are individually blended from various spices by each cook. Foods that are common to various regions include ghee, a clarified butter, dahi, (curd), and dal (lentils). Wheat, in the form of baked or grilled bread, is a staple in northern India, while rice is used in the south. In Kashmir, influences from Persia and Central Asia are strong, while Bengali cooking is similar to that of Bangladesh....

THE CORRUPTION PERCEPTIONS INDEX (CPI) RATES a country’s propensity to accept bribes according to the perceptions of business people, risk analysts, and the general public. Because of the absence of reliable data, only 99 of the countries of the world—a little more than half—are included in the survey. The scores range from 10 (squeaky clean) to zero (highly corrupt). More than two-thirds of the countries surveyed scored less than 5....

Keep Your Dog Healthy Let’s start with the basics: food and water, shelter, exercise, training, and veterinary care. The food and water part is a cinch; all you have to remember is that, like you, dogs need a good diet to stay healthy. Just ask your veterinarian for advice on feeding your pet a regular, nutritionally balanced diet. Giving your pet proper shelter is easy, too. Dogs aren’t called housepets for nothing; inside the house is where they belong....

This Greek astronomer was the first to measure the size of Earth accurately. He determined that the earth’s polar diameter was about 7,850 miles. (In fact, the distance is actually 7,900.) A.D. 120–189 The ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy theorized that Earth was the center of the universe, and the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars revolved around it. Called the Ptolemaic System, Ptolemy’s vision of the universe was accepted for the next 1,500 years....

The focal point is sometimes in the middle of the painting, but not always. Look at the painting The Wedding Feast by Pieter Brueghel. Your eye probably goes over to the right, to look at the person in the blue shirt with the tray of pies. Why is this? Color is one reason. The bright blue shirt and white apron (and the two white pies) really stand out against the dark, reddish colors of the rest of the painting....

The average flash of lightning could turn on a 100-watt light bulb for more than 3 months. The air near a lightning strike is hotter than the surface of the sun! The rapid heating and cooling of air near the lightning channel causes a shock wave that results in thunder. Your chances of being struck by lightning are estimated to be 1 in 600,000 but those chances can be reduced by following safety rules....

In fact, the Vikings, led by Leif Ericson, were the first Europeans to land on the coast of North America in the year 1000. Christopher Columbus landed on the island of San Salvador in 1492, thinking he had reached the East Indies. In fact, he was dead before the voyage was over. Magellan set sail from Spain in 1519 with five ships and 270 men and was killed in a fight with the natives of Mactan Island in the Philippines in 1521....
