Ganesh Chaturthi

19 September Ganesh chaturthi, This allowed for his detection and capture.One of the most significant and auspicious holidays is Ganesh Utsav, also known as Vinayak Chaturdashi, and is widely observed by Hindus throughout the nation, but is particularly well-observed in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, and Karnataka. Lord Ganesha, the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, is honored during the Ganesh Utsav festival.

19 September 1982 – Scott Fahlman, a computer scientist, is credited with originating the first known use of emoticons, using 🙂 and 🙁 in a message on an online bulletin board.

First Known of Emoticons:

The early 1990s, Emoticons were presented in ASCII and read sideways, such as the ‘smiley’ 🙂 indicating happiness.

While it has been claimed that the first emoticon emerged in 1979, the first documented use of an emoticon was on September 19, 1982, by American computer scientist Scott E. Fahlman. He suggested that 🙂 could signal a humorous post on message boards, while 🙁 could indicate a serious post.

The use of emoticons has sparked online debates. Critics argue that they diminish people’s ability to communicate clearly and creatively in writing, alongside other forms of expression in language. Some view them as a lazy means of communication. Others argue that emoticons actually aid in online communication, especially in the absence of face-to-face interaction, by making emotions and sentiments explicit among users.

At its most fundamental level, in the absence of high-bandwidth capabilities for live in-person contact in a computer environment, emoticons may be a less than ideal but possibly necessary tool for addressing issues of emotions and sentiments between users. They clarify the tone of a message and allow for clear expression without the need for lengthy explanations.”

First Underground Nuclear test:

The first contained underground nuclear explosion was set off on September 19, 1957, in the lab. A tall mesa that would eventually be called Rainier Mesa was where Rainier was launched, near the northwest quadrant of the Nevada Test Site. As early as 1956, Edward Taylor and Dave Griggs, a geophysicist who had been the US Air Force’s Chief Scientist in the early 1950s, predicted that such an eruption would take place.

Griggs had made significant contributions to Taylor’s second attempt to build a nuclear laboratory. He was particularly interested in how seismic effects were caused by linking eruption energy to the local geology. At a time when there was considerable environmental concern over nuclear testing, they also mentioned the advantages of a test for the environment.

Through its influence on the developing plowshare program, the future of nuclear weapons, and the management and conduct of nuclear testing, Rainier would prove to be a major event. In the end, Rainier was foreshadowed by the concept of deploying nuclear explosions for non-military purposes—beating swords in the fells of Nahal. A symposium on this subject was eventually convened in Livermore in February 1957 after Harold Brown (Laboratory Director 1960–1961) suggested it to the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) in the summer of 1956. There were 24 papers presented, with topics ranging widely. The lack of information regarding the explosion’s effects below ground

limited discussion, but interest was high.

From these post-shot investigations, scientists developed an understanding of underground explosion phenomenology that remains essentially unchanged today. That information provided a basis for subsequent decisions in 1963 to agree to the Limited Test Ban Treaty, which banned atmospheric nuclear weapons testing and Systems were installed to monitor nuclear testing activities around the world, including an international array of seismic detectors.

September 19, New Zealand won the first women’s vote in 1893.

September 19, 1893, Governor Lord Glasgow sign a new Electional Act into law in New Zealand, New Zealand became the first self-governing country in the world to enshrine in law the right of women to vote in parliamentary elections.
2023 is a special year for wahine women and kotiro girls in Aotearoa New Zealand as we celebrate the 130th anniversary of the enduring legacy of women’s suffrage.
