How to Use Banana Stems in an Inovative way

Banana stems are known to keep for a long period of time. Some farmers have gone ahead to utilize these steams and plant short root crops within these stems. This is done by digging small holes in the stem with the help of a knife or panga,add a little soil, and plant as required. This allows plant growth even during dry periods without irrigation. This type of planting also helps to minimize space and resources. It is affordable since banana stems are readily available to farmers in almost all African and Asian Countries. Due to their water retaining capacity,banana stems once rotten can be used as fertilizers. This works even in plantation crops.It is important to cut them into pieces before using as a fertilizer so as they do not act as a hiding place for insects. We can develop this technique that where the water scarcity is more and it will be helpful to everyone on these days. 

Why is 1729 known as Ramanujan's number?

The number 1729 is known as the Hardy-Ramanujan number after Cambridge Professor Hardy visited Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan at a hospital. As Hardy called his taxi number 1729 "dull", Ramanujan exclaimed it was "the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways," as the sum of cubes of 1 & 12 and also 10& 9. The smallest nontrivial taxicab number, i.e., the smallest number re-presentable in two ways as a sum of two cubes. It is given by 1729=1^3+12^3=9^3+10^3 The number derives its name from the following story G. H. Hardy told about Ramanujan. "Once, in the taxi from London, Hardy noticed its number, 1729. He must have thought about it a little because he entered the room where Ramanujan lay in bed and, with scarcely a hello, blurted out his disappointment with it. It was, he declared, 'rather a dull number,' adding that he hoped that wasn't a bad omen. 'No, Hardy,' said Rama...
