A multiple is a number that can be divided by another number a certain number of times leaving no remainder. If you are good at numbers you can spot the multiples of nine in a snap.
If you are adept at multiplications then it is pretty easy to figure out. A multiple of a number is a number that is the product of a given number and another natural number. This is best seen in multiplication tables. So for example:
The multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 25 and so on.
The multiples of 7 are 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49 and so on.
Here is an exercise for you. The image below is made of many numbers of which 10 of them are the multiples of 9. Can you find them? Remember that when you divide that number by 9, you should not have a remainder.
Take a look at these contrasting male and female birds of various species. You’ll be left wondering if they actually are from the same family!
Birds of a feather flock together. But when you look at the male and female of some species of birds, you will be left wondering if that adage is really true.
Sexual dimorphism is where the two sexes of the same species exhibit different characteristics other than their organs. For several species of birds, the differences are highlighted in the colour of their feathers, with the males being more attractive and eye-catching and the females looking duller and boring in comparison. Some of the reasons for this include safety and breeding.
Take a look at a few species of birds where the males take the prize for good looks! Move the slider to see their male counterparts.
Northern cardinal
Fact: The bird’s colour comes from what it eats. It feeds on grapes or dogwood berries, pigments from which enter the bloodstream during the digestive process. If a cardinal can’t find these foods for a long period at a stretch, its colour will start fading.
Mandarin Duck
Fact: These birds nest in tree holes, sometimes as high as 30 feet from the ground. Once the ducklings hatch, they need to get to the ground and into the water. They do so by jumping out of the hole and landing with a little bounce.
Ostrich
Fact: The flightless ostrich is the world’s largest bird. It can sprint at a speed of over 70 km/hr, and has three stomachs!
Peafowl
Fact: These birds are commonly referred to as peacocks, but, in fact, the term refers only to the male peafowl. The females are called peahens. The male birds are known for their tail feathers that stretches out nearly 2 m in length.
Ring-necked pheasant
Fact: They take regular dust baths, lying and shaking around in the dust and sand, to remove oil, dead skin cells, old feathers, and the coverings on new feathers.

That water is beautiful and precious is a known fact. Enhancing these qualities are the fountains through which it jets out. Find out about some of the most unique fountains from around the world.
The word fountain comes from the Latin “fons” which is a source or spring. But, fountains are artful pieces of
architecture that pour water into a basin or in a jet into the air. It may be decorative, dramatic or even useful.
Originally, fountains were purely functional. They were connected to springs of aqueducts and used to provide water to the residents of the city, town or village. Until the 19th century, most fountains operated by gravity and needed a source of water higher than the fountains, like a reservoir of an aqueduct to make the water spring out.
Here are some famous fountains from around the world. Do you know what they are called and where they are located? Turn the cards to find out…

A Beaver moon, Leonids shower, Mercury at its height…no dearth of excitement.
Scouring the night skies is always fascinating, and sky-watchers were in for a rare treat on November 11, when Mercury glided across the face of the sun, orbiting it. The process took five-and-a-half hours and was visible across the globe. The last time this occurred was in 2016, and we won’t see one again until 2032.
Soon after, on November 12, the Beaver moon was observed in all its glory. It is also known as the Frosty Moon and the Hunter’s Moon.
Look forward to the Leonids meteor shower. The Leonids is an average shower, producing up to 15 meteors per hour at its peak and occurs annually on November 17 and 18. This shower is unique in that it has a cyclonic peak about every 33 years, where hundreds of meteors per hour can be seen. It last occurred in 2001.

Many yoga postures resemble the shapes of animals or other non-living things. Can you relate them? Try this memory game to learn more about yoga postures.
Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual exercise. It helps you clear your mind, strengthen your muscles and sometimes, it also lets you mimic some animals and non-living things. For example, there is a tortoise pose, a cat pose and even a table pose. So, how about you match the asanas (postures) with their origin, learn about the benefits and then mimic them on your own?
Make sure you are supervised by an expert if you try out any of these asanas.
