Charles Darwin

Charles Darwin was the first evolutionary biologist whose revolutionary explanation of the origin of species and the descent of man started the whole world. His elaboration of human development was diametrically opposed to the conversation belief of Christianity. The majority of Christianity believed that the universe and all its creatures, as in many other religions, were put on earth by almighty God. Darwin's theory explained that human beings were the result of involvement that took millions of year. In 1860 revered Bil war Force of Oxford bitterly criticised Charles Darwin and his supporter.T.H. Huskily for misleading people by propagating such a scandalous principle. Today scientific research has proved Charles Darwin's theory of the origin of species and descent of man to be correct. Darwin was a very famous person of 18th Century. Now a day we miss him to much.

Charles Robert Darwin was born on 12th February, 1809 to upper family. His father was a doctor and mother was a daughter of the famous English potter Josiah Wedgwood. His grandfather was Erasmus Darwin, a scientist, doctor, inventor and poet. Darwin's childhood was spent in relative comfort and ease in this privileged family. But sadly he was deprived of a mother's love as she died when Darwin was only eight year old. As a young boy Darwin took a deep interest in nature and naturally formed things and he would spend hours collecting various kinds of rocks, and in closely studying plants, insects and creatures and insects. He wanted to know why plants, insects and creatures were different from each other, and as he couldn't get suitable answer from the books he was studying in school, he gradually began to lose interest in education. When Darwin left school he became a student of medicine in Edinburgh University. He studied hard for a few years but soon lost interest and eventually gave up the idea of becoming a doctor. His father, himself a reputable doctor, was furious ans disappointed that his son didn't want to follow in his footsteps, but Darwin would not change his mind.

At the age of 19, Darwin would was admitted into Christ Church Collage, Cambridge in 1882 to study theology for three years. At the age of 22 Darwin was warded a degree which meant he could now become a church minister and do religious preaching but he showed on interest at all in doing this. While studying theology at Cambridge Darwin became friendly with a biology professor, Jone Stevens Hens low, who was a zoologist. Their friendship grew as Darwin found zoology and geography very interesting and very much to his liking. Another senior geologist professor Adam Sedgwick liked Darwin because of his strong desire to learn more about nature and its recreation. In 1859 Darwin's ground breaking theory was publicized in the from of a book called "THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES". It is the first process of famous in the world for Darwin. Darwin was much criticized for bringing out such an unbelievable theory that explained how change take place in all living things with the passage of time. Moreover Darwin's research about the nature and development of living things had that only the fittest survive in the jungle. The struggle for sustenance and space meant that only those species and adapt to change in their environment. According to Darwin, it is nature that causes changes in the shape, size and behaviour things.

In later years, Darwin preferred to live alone lead the life of an independent scientist. It was in Darwin's nature to look at everything from a scientific point of view and possibly this is what he did when he though about marriage, his cousin Emma Wedgwood on 29th January 1839 and they had ten children, three of whom sadly died at an early age. Darwin suffered from ill-health, possibly due to the voyage on the Beagle as he was never fit afterwards. After the age of 40 he was always chronically ill but despite that he still continued his research work without interruption. Darwin died at his house Downe home in Kent on 19th, April 1882 at the age of 73. Although he and his family wished for a simple funeral in kent his scientific colleagues felt he should have a more elaborate funeral in recognition of his lifelong devotion to science.

To support this argument Michael Faraday is the perfect example. Faraday didn't receive a formal education, yet through the dint of hard work and sheer determination he became one of the most famous scientist of 19th century. Faraday was the first scientist who succeeded in liquefying a permanent gas. This was without doubt a great discovery of his time.

Leonardo Da Vinci was born on 15 April 1452 at Anchiano in Italy. He was first child of Mr. Ser Pireo and Catarina. His father admitted at a school in Vinci where got elementary schooling. In this time Leonardo take interest in mathematics and Latin along with other subjects. He studied in Vince until 1466. At the age of 14 Leonardo moved to Florence. In Florence, Leonardo took paintings quit seriously. When Verrocchio saw Leonardo's paintings who was then a noted painter of Italy. He worked on applying new tricks and techniques for paintings. We can see in most of early paintings of Leonardo he had used oil which reflected his genius. 5Th August 1473 can be seen in which Leonardo had used pen and in for drawing a valley from which a river is meandering through.
Verrocchio like a true master of Leonardo, he always encouraged and helped his pulis and had already foreseen the great artist. At the age of 24, in 1476 he designs of machines which could be used for different purpose in peace or war. During this time he painted pictures of the highest quality, made several famous paintiopened his owe workshop and began painting in earnest. His hard work was worth while as he became famous as a great artist and also there was monetary gain. Leonardo was also taking serious interest in field of machines and various equipment used for a variety of purposes. Apart from painting in making several ngs and sculptures, two of the world famous paintings were "The last supper" (1498) and "virgin of the Rocks" (1494). While working Leonardo DA Vinci in Milan from 1482-1499.

In 1503 Leonardo had started working on the world famous painting of Mona Lisa. It is wildly believe that Leonardo had reached the pinnacle of his talent as an artist in the portrait of the Mona Lisa. Leonardo was worked with doctor Mecantonio Della Torre at Santa maria Nuovo in Florance. In that he published a theoretical work on anatomy, he made more than 200 drawings including of the human skeleton and backhoe for this book. Due to whatever reasons this book could only be published in 1580, long after Leonardo's death. Leonardo encouraged by his success with the glider he designs an armored tank in 1502.e designs for different warfare machines and weapons such as the machine gun, the armored tank submarines, cluster bombs etc. more over he designed a 200m long bridge for sultan Brazil the second of Constantinople. Though this bridge wasn't built at the time, about 500 years later in 2001 a small bridge based on Leonardo's design was constructed in Norway. He also planned to create solar power for use in industry by using concave mirrors. Leonardo used mirror writing through out his life as a secret sort of code that no-one else could decipher.

Many people think that Leonardo moved from painting to the scientific study of the human anatomy and machines, but the truth is that Leonardo had always been very fascinated by machines and how they preformed there different functions since he was a young boy. It was in his nature that after he had make a proper study of various machines he would either improve them, or make drastic change in their shape, size and function. 2nd may 1519, at the age of 67 Leonardo was died, at Clos Luce in France. It has been more than five hundred years since Leonardo died and we have never seen another person who possessed such genius.

It's the starting point forsome of the most famous treks in Nepal, or weary terkkers, that can be tabs around the vally.

Pokhara has an enormous number of good hotels and restaurants and although it is undoubtedly a tourist town. it has a relaxed and feaceful atmosphere, completely remared from hectic bustle of kathmandu and even further removed from the out right chaos of many Indian cities life. The climate is mild, incredible snowcapped mountain are reflected in a centred lake; cool western music from every restaurant; village life persists , but everyone speaks, english. Viewed from Pokhara, the Himalaya is indeed a migthy mountain range, lomming over thehorizon much closer than Kathmandu. Only foothill separate the town from the full hight of the mountain, and the magnificant 800m peaks of the Annnpurna range utterly terminate the viwe of north. The three large lakes, two of them, Rupatal and Begnastal, are slightly to the east of town while the third and largest, Phewa Tal, is the focal point for Pokhara's tourist industry. The autumn and winter temperatures and winter temperatures are generally much more comfortable then other place in Nepal.

The construction of the hydroelectric power dam in 1968 plus the building of the road to Kathmandu and the Indian border in the early 1970s, catapulted Pokhara into the 21st century.
