The United Nations General Assembly designated the day after the Conference on the Human Environment held at Stockholm in 1972, and it has been observed since 1973.

The day closes the month and is meant to draw attention to the harm caused by tobacco in every form and to the policies that reduce its use.

He shared the first Nobel Peace Prize, and the movement observes his birthday as its day.

On 11 May 1998 India carried out nuclear tests at Pokhran in Rajasthan, and the same day brought the first test flight of the indigenous Hansa aircraft and a successful test of the Trishul missile.

Her work with wounded soldiers in the Crimean War and the training school she founded afterwards turned nursing into a trained profession, and the day carries her name in every account of it.

The day is kept to remind governments of their duty towards freedom of expression and to mark the risks journalists take in their work, and it is the first of the international observances in the month.

Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory is erased by applying a voltage, one byte at a time, while the chip stays soldered in place, which is why it is used for settings that must survive a power cut and yet be changed occasionally, such as the configuration data of a…

The 3.5-inch high-density floppy disk, the square plastic diskette with a metal shutter, was formatted to 1.44 MB, and that figure is still asked in computer awareness papers because it anchors the small end of the capacity ladder.

An SSD is built from flash memory, itself a block-erasable form of EEPROM, which traps charge in floating-gate cells.

The operating system reserves an area of the hard disk, called the swap space or the page file, and moves pages a program is not actively using out to it.

Cache is a small block of static RAM that keeps the instructions and data most recently used by the processor.

A Digital Versatile Disc uses a shorter wavelength laser and finer pits than a compact disc, so one side with one recording layer holds about 4.7 GB; a double-layer disc of the same size holds roughly 8.5 GB.

Random Access Memory holds a bit only while it is powered, whether the cell is a flip-flop in static RAM or a leaking capacitor in dynamic RAM.

Every step in the ladder of storage units multiplies by 1,024, because 1,024 is 2 raised to the power 10 and memory is addressed in binary.

An Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory chip carries a small quartz window over the silicon; ultraviolet light shone through that window releases the trapped charge from every cell at once and returns the chip to its blank state, after which it can be programmed again.

Dynamic RAM stores each bit as a charge on a very small capacitor, and that charge leaks away in a few milliseconds, so the memory controller has to read and rewrite every cell continuously.

A nibble is half a byte, that is four binary digits, and it matters because one nibble is written as exactly one hexadecimal digit, from 0 to F. That is why memory addresses in hexadecimal are read four bits at a time.

A register is built into the CPU itself and holds the word the arithmetic and logic unit is operating on at that instant, so it is read and written in a single clock cycle.

He was a Hindi poet long before he became Prime Minister, and Meri Ekyavan Kavitayen is his best-known collection. Kaidi Kavirai Ki Kundaliyan holds verses written during the Emergency, and Meri Sansadiya Yatra collects his speeches in Parliament.

Exam Warriors is written for school students facing examinations and sets out short chapters on preparation, sleep, play and dealing with pressure.
