The concentration of spheres larger than 200 microns was found to be a few time3 10 ppb. The spheres were readily divided into three groups using their dominant m neralogy. These groups are named iron, glassy, and silicate. Mo:: t of the spheres were formed from particles that completely melted and subsegvently recrystallized as they separated from the parent meteoroid bodies. However, some of the silicate spl.eres contain occasional relict grains of the parent metoroids that did not experience any melting. ► Typically, these relict grains are olivine crystals whose cores are Mg-rich, i !1 ranging from Fo 89-o9 . Commonly the outer rim of these relict grains was altered during heating. Other relict mineral grains include enstatite, ferrous spin,-I., chromite, and pentlandite. The three groups of spheres (iron, glassy, and silicate) may possibly have some genetic significance. It seems reasonable to expect iron-rich spheres to be produced during ablation of iron and metal-rich silicate meteoroids. Metal spheres are probably not produced by ablation of predominantly silicate meteoroids because studies of fusion crusts and laboratory ablated silicate materials have never yielded separate metal spheres, but rather have produced spheres with intergr.own iron oxide and silicate phases. The iron spheres recovered possess identical mineralogy 1 with the fusion crusts of Boguslav^:a, Norfork, and N'Kandhla iron meteorites as well as with the ablation debris created in the laborator y using metallurgical samples of iron and nickel-iron.

Introduction Over a centu:y ago, Murray and Renard (l] discovered microscopic magnetic spheres in deep-sea sediments. Finding both "stony" and "iron" types, they suggested that the spheres were produced by the melting of meteoroids as they entered the atmosphere. Since their discovery, deep- sea spheres have been subjected to a variety of investigations, but their importance to the science of meteoritics has not been fully recognized. Reviews of much of the early work on the spheres were Liven b y Schmidt [2] and Parkin and Till ,­ 13]. Most of Lite previous work has concentrated on the "iron" spheres which are reasonably well characterized and under- stood; their credibility as extraterrestrial particles is now well. established. Evidence is strong that the "iron" spheres were produced 'ay atmospheric melting of iron meteoroids [4,5). The "stony" spheres i have only been studied by a few investigators [6,7,8], and they are only E now being extensively examined with modern analytical techniques [9,10]. The "stony" particles have not generated much interest because their properties were not understood, and there was no real evidence that Che particles were, indeed, extraterrestrial. The "stony" spheres have been interpreted as droplets produced by ablation of stony meteoroids 16,71 and mistakenl y identified as "rounded bodies in space" not altered by atmospheric entry [8]. In this paper we direct most of our efforts to the "stony" spheres because 0 ey are the least understood and potentially the most interesting. It is the purpose of this paper to show that the "stony" spheres are extraterrestrial and are generated by ablation of parent meteoroids similar to chondritic meteorites. ^11tIGIN AL "0'' 15 '' I OFp(I^R l?l1Al,ICY 4 f The m. ► I or t echnitlut' we hav • used for ident if teat ion anti in c rI,ret at Wit of ah l .

    SCHOOL OF LAW Event: Industrial Visit to Coca Cola Happiness Factory Date: 20th September, 2019 Venue: Coca Cola Factory, Greater Noida Report Date: 21st September, 2019 Course: BBALLB Semester: III & I No. of Students: 40 REPORT Coca Cola Happiness Factory is the Coke franchise bottling plant in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. An Industrial Visit helps in enhancement of students’ understanding of the actual working of an organization and to know about the intricacies involved in organizational working. The students of BBA LL.B III (Section B) & I semester were taken to the Coca Cola Happiness Factory bottling plant at Greater Noida with prior permission. Overall 40 students visited the plant on 20th September 2019. At Happiness Factory, the industrial visit was conducted by Ms Nikita, Ms Shruti and Ms. Neha. Overall four sessions were conducted in which the session began with introduction of various products and Brands of Coca Cola which was followed by a introductory video of 5-7 minutes. After which, students got the opportunity to enter into the vault of Coca-Cola Happiness Factory where they got the explicit explanations of the production of Coca cola, Maza and Minute Maid which they produce in that factory. Afterwards students were taken to the history of Coca Cola where students were informed about the founder of Coca Cola and also received the information that there are only five people in the world who know the secret formula. The fourth session was the concluding session which was about Corporate Social responsibility that the company has been carrying by various social awareness programmes and by helping the country through policies which helped women in getting jobs, securing their lives.
