A SHOUT OUT FOR NEW URDU CHANNEL!

Salam ! Today i wanted to give a shout out to a urdu youtube channel which has garnered my interest. Here’s the link: (Channel Name : Urdu Language Club) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW1Su6qZD8HvDXTOzS9a-AA

So , this channel is fairly New and it has already started talking on some very interesting topics. I mainly use this channel because it has helped improve my (embarassingly weak) Urdu vocabulary by expressing views on different topics. Again i think this channel would be helpful for anyone to increase their Urdu vocabulary as it uses some rather complex-er words and increase their knowledge in general.

If you want to learn urdu and it’s basics , visit this link (Channel Name : Learn Urdu with UrduPod101.com) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGiKlOBHnhWnb2hv6IVOb4w

Urdu is a very easy-to-learn , language ! Especially if you belong to areas that surround Pakistan , It is basically a whole mixture of all the regional languages ranging from Persian , Arabic , Hindi etc Also i think overseas Pakistanis should remain in-touch with their roots so these two channels would be very helpful if you wanted to get started with Urdu.

If you’re Pakistani , I would really appreciate it if you could re-blog this and spread the message ! ^v^

Science of everyday life: 5 essential reads

by Maggie Villiger

One of best things about my job as a science editor is that any crazy idea I start wondering about – whether triggered by something I see on my commute, a current event that’s in the news, or best of all a conversation with my young kids – I can call up an expert and ask her or him to break it down for me, and you.

It seems like our readers enjoy this type of “I’ve always wondered … ” article too. My most-read story of the past year was by an entomologist making the case to bug-haters that by killing a spider they might actually be making their homes more hospitable to insects the spider would have eaten and eliminated for them.

Below, a handful of my favorites from 2018. But curiosity isn’t bound by the calendar, so here’s to a new year of everyday science.
