The United Nations General Assembly in November 2014 declared 15th July as World Youth Skills Day.

This day is celebrated all over the world to raise the awareness about the issue of unemployment among youth. 

Theme for the year 2017 is Skills for All.

Oil from Gnetum spp a gymnosperm belonging to the family Gnetaceae is used to relieve the effects of rheumatism

The lianas and shrubs of Gnetum are found in the rain forests of the western ghats.

Schwann cells or neurolemmocytes are the cells in the peripheral nervous system that form the myelin sheath around a neuron's axon.

6 b in an o means 6 balls in an over in cricket.

Diamond is the hardest substance available on Earth.

Diamond is the hardest substance available on Earth due to the giant molecular structure of diamond in which each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms. A covalent bond is very strong and requires a large amount of energy to break itself, and diamond has many covalent bonds.

Draw the two chords as shown in the figure. Let O be the center of the circle. Draw OC
perpendicular to both chords. That divides the two chords in half.
So CD = 10 and AB = 14. Draw radii OA and OD, both equal to radius r.
We are given that BC = 5, the distance between the two chords. Let
OB = x.

We use the Pythagorean theorem on right triangle ABO

AO² = AB² + OB²
r² = 14² + x²

We use the Pythagorean theorem on right triangle DCO

DO² = CD² + OC²

We see that OC = OB+BC = x+5, so

r² = 10² + (x+5)²

So we have a system of two equations:

r² = 14² + x²
r² = 10² + (x+5)²

Since both left sides equal r², set the right sides
equal to each other.

14² + x² = 10² + (x+5)²
196 + x² = 100 + x² + 10x + 25
196 = 125 + 10x
71 = 10x
7.1 = x

r² = 14² + x²
r² = 196 + (7.1)²
r² = 196 + 50.41
r² = 246.41
r = √246.41
r = 15.69745202 cm
