How different is Black Tea from Green Tea? Which one is healthy?

There are quite many kinds of tea available in the market like red, yellow, pink, oolong, black, green and a few more. There is blue tea too!
Okay, no I am kidding there is no blue tea yet. But you never know,  the next time you re-read this post for the 10th time you might be sipping on some blue tea ;)

Getting back to the question. Both are made of the leaves of the same Camellia sinensis plant.

 Then what makes two tea different?

 Green tea is something made of green leaves and black tea is made of black leaves hence the color and the taste. Yea simple answer.

The key difference is for the Black tea the leaves are first rolled, exposed to air to trigger the fermentation process whereas for the Green tea the leaves are pan-fried to prevent the fermentation.

Leaving Black tea more Intense and High flavor compared to the Low and Light-colored Green Tea.

According to research,
Both Black and Green tea has many common benefits

1. Great alternatives to Coffee as less in caffeine content making it a healthier daily choice to kickstart your day!

    COFFEE> BLACK TEA> GREEN TEA (Caffeine content)

2. Taking it in moderate amounts daily can help to regulate blood pressure

3. Could also reduce the risk of heart disease by 11%

Though made from same plant Green tea inches a little higher as its very rich in antioxidants(due to low fermentation) and has additional  benefits like
 great for teeth, fat loss, promoting digestion, improving mental processes, etc

A recent study has shown that a moderate amount of either black or green tea in a person's diet can be beneficial in the long run.

So it would not widely differ which tea you opt for as both are beneficial in their way. Black tea can get you through a hectic day whereas green tea can boost and fix your cringy mood for little lesser caffeine.

It turns out that Green Tea and Black tea maintain a State of Equilibrium (though not equal).

BONUS Info- The widely consumed beverage was found by an accident!
( Amusing isn't it to find something we cannot do without was not found on purpose but found by accident, read on)
Tea was found when tea leaves accidentally fell into a pot of boiling water paving the way for the TEA as we know.

Why is 'i' always written in capital letter?

One is very accustomed to capitalize the letter 'I' whenever used in a sentence and it comes naturally to people who have been learning and writing English from childhood.
But does one know the reason behind the only exception in the language?

One might say it is the GRAMMAR RULE, duh!
Right, it is a Grammar rule now, it was not earlier. What if I say the letter 'i' did not even exist in Old English?

 You heard me right! It is quite unusual because this was not the practice in Old and Middle English.

Take a look at these examples
OLD ENGLISH- Ic æt undergiete
MODERN ENGLISH- I understand.

There are quite a few reasons which I will be mentioning in this post.

So, let's get started,
 Well, historians say that there was no letter i until the late 15th century The pronoun used to be spelled variously in Old English like 'ic' or 'ich'. At that time it was not capitalized.

Overtime when English got more refined, the word lost its consonants and turned simply into 'i'. Though the word itself contains a lot of weight due to its weak appearance scribes thought it could easily get mixed with the preceding/succeeding word or could be overlooked in a paragraph or a sentence. So they started capitalizing the letter 'i'

Another credible reason was the possibility that earlier manuscripts and typography played a major role in shaping the character of 'i'. Manuscripts were one of the major sources to store the information. and writers were skeptical to use the letter 'i' because if mistaken or in case of minor physical damage the letter would have been misinterpreted and the true form couldn't have been restored.

If you say why only the letter 'i' has been capitalized what about other letters like it, we, a for instance? The reason is, their presence isn't as negligible as the thin lowercase 'i' which uses the least ink in a script.

As there are always two sides to a coin I cannot decide on if the letter 'i' had been prioritized over all the letters and stood as the only letter to be capitalized in the English Language? Or should I consider 'i' as the only letter which had to let go of its consonants and made to feel differentiated, unworthy?

How do GOOGLE work the way it does?

This being my first post in A2E( Anything2Everything) blog. I thought it would be perfect to start with something which literally provides us information on Anything2Everything!

So, this was exactly what I googled to get ideas to write this post.

 It is one of the random questions that come to my mind but gets fragmented into other thoughts in no time and I completely forget about it. As Google turned 21 years this 27 Sep 2019, I thought it was only fair to gain some basic understanding of what happens behind the screen?

(Spoiler Alert- So before I begin if you are here for some cheatsheet with all the intricate details I would suggest not to read any further.)

Well, in this post I will be trying to provide a simple approach citing examples to make one understand. How Google works the way it does?

Before getting into how google works can we go into thinking of how people used to work when there were no computers when there was no easily available internet to get all the related information in some clicks. 

For example, if you were looking for which new movies to watch. What would you have done? 

Refer few magazines and then newspapers> read the reviews > then grade/compare and rank them in an order you would like to watch? Right? Exactly this is the way GOOGLE works too!

Once when you type in your query and run the search Google’s first job is to 'crawl' the web with ‘Spiders’. These are little automated programs or bots that scour the net for any new or old information available regarding your query

Next what it does is collect all that information and maintain them in numerous pages and rank them according to the number of links it received and how valuable the data is in them.

The more the links and citations or social signs alert Google that the page has better content thus the page gets better ranking, gets exposed to more people, thus following an upward trend.

This is called ‘PageRank’ something that the co-founders of Google, Larry Page, and Sergey Brin, wanted to apply the ‘grading’ system to the web’s information. They used backlinks as a proxy for votes.

Well, from past few years google is working on

‘RankBrain’, this is the latest technology which is being used it works using AI(Artificial Intelligence), in simpler words the more queries, searches are performed the better and accurate Google turns to provide us information.

Let us consider some turn of events which will help us understand this technology better

1. You are a fitness enthusiast and vegan
2. You maintain an online blog wherein you post various exercises, diet charts.
3. Last week you ordered your groceries, dairy-free products online.
4. And today you just Googled ‘Lunch’ and you find in your results, the nearby vegan restaurants, best healthy recipes for lunch, protein-packed lunch available for ordering.

See? You get a tailor-made result according to your liking and needs. This is how AI works it stores all the bits available at random times and fit them like a puzzle even when, one does not explicitly mention.

As easy as it might appear Google's search engine works on very complex algorithms and perform some mind-boggling operations to get the desired results for the user within few seconds before one gets restless :p

Let me know how you felt about this post on how Google works in layman terms!
