Facts About Palm Island, Dubai: Middle East's Famous Tourist Spot

Dubai's Palm Islands are regarded as the 'eighth wonder of the world'.

It is one of the largest manufactured islands globally and is derived from the artificially designed palm tree shape. Palm Island is visible to the naked eye from space.

These offshore islands result from the creation of reclaimed land and have become a popular holiday destination ever since. Palm Jumeirah is the smallest, and Palm Deira is the largest of all three islands.

An estimated 1,380 acres (558 hectares) of new land was created inside an area of 3.1 mi (5 km) in diameter. The process of land reclamation required dredging the sand from the floors of the Persian and Arabian Gulf. Palm Jumeirah extends around 3.1 mi (5 km) into the Arabian Gulf.

In Dubai, the artificial islands of the archipelago named Palm Jumeirah in the United Arab Emirates were created using land recovery, which extends into the Persian Gulf. As of early 2020, the reduction of human exertion during the COVID-19 pandemic and an increase in wildlife, similar to dolphins, around Palm Jumeirah were observed.

The Palm Jumeirah Monorail is a 3.4 mi (5.4 km) long railway line connecting the Atlantis Hotel to the Gateway Towers at the bottom of the islet. The line started operating on April 30, 2009.

It's the first rail in the Middle East. The rail connects Palm Jumeirah Dubai to the landmass, with a planned farther extension to the Red Line of the Dubai Metro.

Construction of the Palm Jumeirah Dubai islet began in June 2001, and the inventors blazoned the handover of the first domestic units in 2006. By the end of 2009, 28 hospices were opened on the Crescent.

At this time, 75 of the parcels were ready to hand over, with 500 families formerly abiding on the islet.

All this makes the Palm Islands, especially Palm Jumeirah, an attractive destination for tourists, and major hotels have set up their base there to tap into that. Keep reading to know more about the place before you book your Dubai trip!

Peruvian Food Facts: A Must Read Guide For All The Foodies

The earliest attestations of human presence in Peruvian homes are dated to roughly 12,500 BCE within the Huaca Prieta agreement.

The main elements in Peruvian food are native Peruvian crops such as beans, potatoes, and corn and their numerous varieties. Chifa is a combination of Chinese food and Peruvian food.

A very long time before the quinoa, Peruvians introduced the world as a staple food in the type of a meek root vegetable. In this article, we will learn about Peruvian food and scroll through some of the Peru food facts with a sprinkle of Peru's rich history, heritage, and culture.

Get to learn Easter Rising facts and learn more about the Irish War for Independence.

58 Interesting Easter Rising Facts That You Should Know

In this article, you're going to learn some interesting facts about the Easter Rising, its history, purpose, and much more. 

On Easter Monday, 1916, World War One raged in Europe. Happening at the same time, the Easter Rising was the main highlight and beginning of the Irish War for Independence.

An event took place in Dublin that would change the course of Irish history. Determined to throw off British rule, over 2,000 men, backed by around 300 women, rose up in armed revolt. In a flurry of activity, they seized key government buildings, set up a perimeter around the city center, and proclaimed the birth of an 'independent island.'

For those on the nationalist side, it was a glorious moment, a transformative event that would re-awaken Irish consciousness after over a century of British rule. It was also doomed to end in complete disaster, as it was intended to be the trigger for a series of uprisings.

However, the Easter Rising rather failed to spark anything but a mighty British backlash. For nearly seven days, Dublin city became a war zone, with its cobblestones chipped by sniper fire and its old buildings bombarded by artillery.

By the time the smoke cleared, the rising's leaders would all be prisoners. Yet somehow, this failed revolt would wind up becoming one of the key steps on the road to Irish independence.

15 Organelle Facts: Learn About These Structures Inside Cells

You must be an aspiring biologist if you're here, or maybe you're just curious to know more about the structures inside cells!

Similar to what an organ does to a body, an organelle is a subcellular structure that manages either one or multiple specific jobs performed in the cell. The most important cell organelles are the nuclei, which contain genetic information, and mitochondria, which help produce chemical energy.

You may have heard this phrase in your science class, 'mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.' That surely does sound powerful, and so is the structure of a cell. Keep scrolling and learn more about it!

One of the interesting holmium facts is that the atomic number of holmium is 67 and it was discovered by Louis Soret and Marc Delafontaine.

28 Holmium Facts: Properties, Uses, Discovery, And More

In this article, you will read about holmium oxide and learn some interesting facts about this element.

A chemical compound known as holmium oxide is one of the rare earth metals which is a combination of holmium and oxygen with the formula Ho2O3. Standing beside dysprosium oxide Dy2O3, holmium is claimed to be one of the most powerful paramagnetic substances with an atomic weight of 164.9 amu that has ever come into existence.

The oxide is named holmia and it appears as a component of a related erbium oxide mineral, also known as erbia. The oxides of trivalent lanthanides ordinarily coexist naturally, and specialized methods are necessary for the successful separation of these components.

This element is used in manufacturing colored specialty glasses. Glasses that contain holmium oxide and its solution comprise a series of optical sharp absorption peaks in the spectral range that is visible. For optical spectrophotometers, they are conventionally utilized as a convenient calibration standard.

Depending on the lighting conditions, this chemical element has some moderately substantial color changes. It comprises a tannish yellow color while in the daylight.

When exposed to trichromatic light, it gains fiery orange-red color, which is almost identical to the way erbium looks when exposed to the same lighting. The oxide has a cubic and rather complex structure with a large lattice of 1.06 nm with many atoms per unit cell. Holmium metal can readily oxidize in air.

As a result, the presence of holmium is synonymous in nature with that of holmia. The major mining areas globally comprise the United States, Brazil, China, India, Sri Lanka, and Australia.

Huckleberry facts tell you that fresh huckleberries are not easily found.

25 Delightful Huckleberry Facts That Will Make You Want Some

In this article, you are going to go through some delightful facts about huckleberry.

Before we do that, let's first get to know about this particular species called huckleberries. Huckleberry refers to several different species of fruit, including two different genera.

One genus is Gaylussacia, which has four different species of huckleberry in it. There is also Vaccinium species, which also comprise several different huckleberry species.

Vaccinium is the species from which we get blueberries, cranberries, and bilberries. Two of the most commonly found species in most of the huckleberry products consist of black huckleberry from the Gaylussacia genus and Vaccinium genus. Huckleberries are the state fruit of Idaho.

The term huckleberry is a North American variation of the English dialect often called 'whortleberry' and 'hurtleberry' for the bilberry. In Eastern North America, the name was incorporated into a few plant species, all bearing small berries with colors that are blue, red, and black.

It is a common name for numerous Gaylussacia and some Vaccinium species, for example, the red huckleberry with the scientific name Vaccinium parvifolium.
