The tattoos on our hands, neck or arms may catch some attention, but they come with risks.

We all know that a permanent tattoo can cause health hazard. How? It is learnt that toxic impurities of the tattoo ink can travel inside our body as nano particles, causing chronic enlargement of the lymph nodes. The researchers said that “pigments from tattoos would travel to the lymph nodes because of visual evidence. The lymph nodes become tinted with the colour of the tattoo. It is the response of the body to clean the site of entrance of the tattoo.”

If air pollution is making you difficult to breathe, there’s some respite for you. A new catalyst has been developed that can reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides from diesel vehicles. This can help in controlling air pollution and smog. Scientists concentrated on copper-exchanged zeolites, a particular class of catalysts that help in converting nitrogen oxides into environmental friendly nitrogen gas.

Swargadeo Rudra Singha: An Architect Of Ancient Assam

THE Ahom dynasty that entered into the then Assam (Pragjyotishpur) in 1228 CE is considered as the torchbearer of new evolutions on the bank of the mighty Brahmaputra through their state-of-the-art skills in ruling the subjects, in convening new social systems, in building architectural heritages, in enriching the economic and political systems and in bringing a cultural revolution. The Ahom kingdom that was first established by Swargadeo Sukapha was later expanded and enlarged by Swargadeo Pratap Singha and it was Swargadeo Rudra Singha who added the charm of a cultural influence into the state and its subjects. It was this influential king of the Ahom dynasty who had first attempted at building a cultural and social bridge with other Indian states to introduce new dimensions into the Assamese culture. There had always been an effort to invest time and efforts to bring a fruitful outcome in the Ahom rulers and carrying this tradition forward. Rudra Singha too tried to select the best of the culturally promising artisans from among his subjects and engage them in the practice and production of notable artistic and cultural outputs.
