We might think that 'z' is the last letter added to English alphabet. Just because it is sitting at the end of alphabet table !!!!!
But reality is different .......
The letter 'j ' is added late to English alphabet table !!!!
The English alphabet finds its roots in Roman alphabet.
In those early days , letter ' j ' was not a distinct letter at all !!!
It functioned more like decorative variant of letter ' i '.
So when did ' j ' became a separate letter ???
As English language evolved, the need for separate letter ' j ' sound became more apparent.
Like judge , juice etc.
The transition was not immediate. Slowly letter ' j ' carved out its own space , became a permanent member of the English alphabet table !!!!

Recently I came across this question on Internet.
3 8 10 ??? 2 1
6 56 90 20 2 0
This looks quite confusing.
I don't pressurise myself too much, since I am not preparing for any competitive exams,
I let it go.
I have taken the help of Google !!!
Let us start solving....
Take the numbers given in the first row as 'x'
We can write second row numbers as,
y = x ^ 2 - x
According to this,
Let x be 3
y = x ^ 2 - x = 3 ^ 2 - 3 = 9 - 3 = 6
Let x be 8
y = x ^2 - x = 8 ^ 2 - 2 =64 - 8 = 56
We can go on Solving for other given numbers.
Now we know y = 20
We must find out what is x.
This means, y = x ^ 2 - x
==>> 20 = x ^ 2 - x
We have only x = 5 which can satisfy the above equation.
Answer is 5
1. USA
2. United Kingdom
3. Germany
4. Russia
5. China
6. Ukraine
7. Philippines

This thermo regulation process makes spicy food perticularly appealing in hot climate.
The intense flavour of spicy food stimulate appetite and have anti microbial properties, making them beneficial.

As it is the summer and temperatures are soaring day by day, it is a common practice that we turn on the air conditioner as soon as we get inside the car.
When we park the car outside, under the Sun and enter inside after a while the temperature inside the car is now , higher than the regular temperature of our body !!!!
This may cause our lungs to become dry,
If we are prone to dust allergy, this could be fatal.
What we can do???
Try rolling down the windows of the car.
Wait for 5 minutes so that temperature inside the car cools down and come to normal .
Then get inside the car and switch on AC.
This also helps to remove the pungent smell inside the car.
