P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; } Work as workawayer At workaway it's not only about work but also about cultural contact and exchange. You can tell the kind of work in five grupps: •Family - wants general help in house and with child, often want to learn/practice a language, mostly English •Hostel - want help in the kitchen, for cleaning and with guest, a must have here: a positive attitude•Farm/Eco-project - want help for gardening, building, animal care •Renovation - want help for building, painting and similar things •Social/cultural organization - almost everything, depends on background, aim and current projects This just an overview of work types you can expect to find on workaway. The profile of the host should also be helpful Some Advices• have a detailed profile so your host knows what to expect • be honest • every small thing can be important • write about your skills, strength and attitude • in your message: tell why you want to go to this host and why you would fit in • show also you read their profile, because you link your message to it • remember to write to more than one host, sadly not everybody answer and some don't have any free spots • you can plan long ahead or be spontaneous • answer hosts fast, so your place doesn't go to someone else • use the feedback, read some of other workawayers for your future host, leave some and get some as well At a new place • be open, remember the expectation can be different because of the other cultural background • don't judge first get to know the system • communicate so their no misunderstandings • to prevent any misunderstandings: as arrive ask for rules and expectations • show respect to the current system and the person behind it • remember it's an exchange no hotel • take your work seriously • develop ideas • be prepared to talk about yourself because in the end it's about cultural exchange and contact Enjoy the contact, the adventure, the travel!

Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose(1858–1937) was a Bengali polymath, physicist, biologist, botanist,archaeologist, as well as an early writer of science fiction. Hepioneered the investigation of radio and microwave optics, made verysignificant contributions to plant science, and laid the foundationsof experimental science in the Indian subcontinent. A crescograph is a devicefor measuring growth in plants and it was invented in the early 20thcentury by Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose. The Bose crescograph uses aseries of clockwork gears and a smoked glass plate to record themovement of the tip of a plant (or its roots) at magnifications of upto 10,000. Marks are made on the plate at intervals of a few seconds,demonstrating how the rate of growth varies under varying stimuli.Bose experimented with temperature, chemicals, gases and electricity. Bose made a number ofpioneering discoveries in plant physiology. He used his owninvention, the crescograph, to measure plant response to variousstimuli, and thereby scientifically proved parallelism between animaland plant tissues. His major contribution inthe field of biophysics was the demonstration of the electricalnature of the conduction of various stimuli (e.g., wounds, chemicalagents) in plants, which were earlier thought to be of a chemicalnature. These claims were later proven experimentally. Bose's place in historyhas now been re-evaluated, and he is credited with the invention ofthe first wireless detection device and the discovery of millimetrelength electromagnetic waves and considered a pioneer in the field ofbiophysics. Many of his instrumentsare still on display and remain largely usable now, over 100 yearslater. They include various antennas, polarisers, and waveguides,which remain in use in modern forms today.
