“When Covid-19 hit, the number of tourists dropped to a very low level, just like a trickle. We are struggling to make a living. How do we feed the horses?”, Ms. Begum talk to AFP . During last year’s blockade, 41 horses, including Begum’s eight, died, she added. Dozens of horses in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, starve to death because their owners can’t afford to feed them.

The owners of the horses say they are struggling to have enough money to buy hay for their cattle. Some owners have freed their horses, in the hope that they can make a living on their own. Not to mention raising cattle, horse owners here say they also struggle to feed their families. Many people, including Ms. Begum, have to borrow money from small lending companies to make ends meet. “Every week, employees of the loan company come to my house to collect installment loans. But, if tourists don’t come to Cox’s Bazar, I don’t have the money to pay,” Begum said, adding that she borrowed about $1,200. Dozens of horse riders, often hired by horse owners to teach tourists how to ride, have turned to cart drivers or masons. Like many other countries, Bangladesh is struggling with a new wave of Covid-19. The health system is bearing the brunt, and lockdowns have been imposed across the country.

Hughes’ family has a tradition of breeding for generations. Now, he uses the farm to mine cryptocurrencies with a set of “buffalo plows” that use renewable energy from cow dung. Mining coins with renewable energy With six cylinder engines at 500 rpm, Hughes’ anaerobic digestion system can turn the methane that produces cow dung into electricity. BBC said. Under hypoxic conditions, microorganisms will eat hydrogen and carbon dioxide in cow dung and release methane gas, which can be burned to generate heat. The residue left after the anaerobic stage will be used as fertilizer. Philip Hughes’ farm (left) uses cow dung to produce renewable energy, feed livestock, and mine Ethereum. Photo: Crypto Hunter. According to Hughes, about two-thirds of the electricity generated from the anaerobic digester powers the nearby cattle ranch and caravan park. The rest of the energy is used for “buffalo plow” platforms to mine Ethereum. Hughes said Ethereum mining returns are good, but “depends on the date the question is asked,” referring to the cryptocurrency’s unpredictable price movements. Since May, the value of Ethereum has dropped from more than $4,000 to around $2,500, according to data from . CoinDesk on the evening of 10/6. Is mining with green energy possible? Not only digging Ethereum at the farm, Hughes also came up with the idea of ​​​​renting a “buffalo plow”. Josh Riddett, a representative of Easy Crypto Hunter miner provider, said that the cost to pay is about $ 25,400 for each “buffalo plow” set consisting of many computer graphics cards with strong configuration. According to Riddett, Easy Crypto Hunter’s mining rigs have been installed in 42 different locations. They use energy forms such as solar, wind, hydroelectricity and stored methane from anaerobic digesters. The longevity of the “buffalo plow” platforms causes concern about e-waste.

Meanwhile, the hydroelectric power plant operator said that the unstable value of cryptocurrencies makes it difficult to recover capital for the project. Some people said that crooks broke in and stole the mining rig. Besides hydroelectric power, the initiative to use renewable energy (green energy) to mine cryptocurrencies is also controversial. According to the BBC , renewable energy to mine coins can be used for other purposes such as powering electric cars or heating. Financial economist Alex de Vries said that using green energy to mine coins is wasteful. “The benefits these systems offer are very limited. Bitcoin can only process up to 7 transactions per second, while payment services like Visa can process 65,000 transactions per second if needed.” Vries is also concerned that the longevity of the “buffalo plots” could make them quickly become e-waste.

In the UK, the Association of Bioresources and Anaerobic Digestion of the country said that the number of energy plants mining cryptocurrencies is quite small. While the future of cryptocurrency is unclear, several people have expressed interest in Hughes’ mining project. This farmer is fully aware of the risks of investing in assets whose value fluctuates, sometimes with just a single tweet from Elon Musk. If the cryptocurrency market crashes, Hughes said he will use the computing power of the “buffalo” to serve other purposes, such as hiring filmmakers to render. The owner of the net shop removed the machine, digs coins and waits for the translation to end Due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, Mr. Nguyen Minh Quan (Thu Duc City) had to close the net shop, remove the graphics card to dig coins, earn extra income waiting for the reopening date.

According to a seller, ginger flower buds, also known as forest ginger flowers, are picked by highland people. Therefore, many people who grow ginger downstream may never see it. About every 7 to 9 lunar month is the time to harvest ginger flowers, for mountainous people, this is a rare specialty because it only comes once a year. In recent years, this specialty flower has appeared more in Hanoi. Advertised as a strange, crispy and delicious dish with a cooling effect, in a short time, the price of this dish has increased to 60,000 – 65,000 thousand VND/kg. Many people found it strange that they bought it to try. Ginger flower buds are especially sold on online markets when in season. Housewives will also take advantage of ordering this specialty flower to eat, because there is only one season a year, and ginger flowers cannot be preserved for too long. On the cooking forum, dishes cooked from ginger flowers appear more and more. Ginger flowers are not only boiled but can also be fried with beef, seafood, roasted with chicken, and many people also stir-fry with bacon fat. However, after processing, many people were upset because they could only eat the flowers, the stem had to be discarded because it was very fibrous, not to mention the long and time consuming processing. It takes a lot of work, but when eating ginger flower buds, its taste is very difficult to eat. Not to mention, the strong smell of ginger like biting a piece of ginger into the mouth makes the eater not disappointed. Some people also have to admit, the more they eat, the more they feel like “cow chewing straw, because the body is very fibrous, the smell is black”. Feeling strange because ginger flower buds suddenly became “hot”, a person in Nghe An said that this plant is abundant in Nghe An mountains, but people rarely eat it, but often for medicine or for cattle. A wholesale dealer of ginger flower buds said that this specialty flower on the high mountain is very popular when in season, but there is only one season each year lasting about 2 months. The source of goods purchased depends entirely on the amount of flowers that people pick. Like last year, after deducting all expenses, she earns about 1.5-2 million VND/day.

Phil Schneider, a government employee, said he had met aliens. The truth about the above information is still up for debate, but the stories surrounding it have been recorded in detail. The witnesses The desert town of Dulce in New Mexico, USA, with less than 3,000 residents, does not even have traffic lights, yet is a place that attracts ufologists and conspiracy theorists to visit and find understand. They believe that beneath this village is a secret seven-story military facility, known as Dulce Base, dedicated to alien research. While mysterious stories revolving around the deserts of this region are nothing new, information about an alien base has attracted the attention of the public. It all started in the mid-1970s, when a New Mexico State cop named Gabriel Valdez reported on a disturbing cattle mutilation. Accordingly, he saw a “sophisticated spacecraft” flying in the sky near the supposed Dulce Base and then discovered a mutilated cow with a dead fetus inside. He asserted that the fetus was not an unborn calf, but a strange hybrid animal that “looks like a human, a monkey and a frog”. There is no sign that the cow was killed by a wild animal. Political scientist Michael Barkun, author of the popular book A Culture of Conspiracy, which includes Valdez’s account, notes that cattle mutilation is common. related to nearby UFO sightings. The above claims went viral and were followed in 1979 by the revelations of Paul Bennewitz, a physicist and businessman in Albuquerque, a large New Mexico city. Bennewitz said intercepted the electronic signals at Dulce, which he believes emanate from the depths of the earth and are aimed too high for human activity. With growing interest in cattle mutilation and claims of electronic signals, the legend of Dulce Base was born. In 1982, Bennewitz first talked about the existence of the secret base. He even published an article titled “Project Beta” in 1988, detailing how to infiltrate the military facility. By May 1990, John Lear claimed to have obtained “four independent confirmations” that the seven-story underground structure was real. Lear is a former pilot and government employee, and the son of the owner of LearJet, an American business jet maker, so many people believe his claims. Lear goes even further, describing the various alien breeds that are said to have visited Earth. Lear’s story is the basis for subsequent claims about the alien base in New Mexico. However, not long after that, Phil Schneider really overshadowed Bennewitz and Lear’s claims with a strange story about the secret alien base. A self-described former government employee and explosives expert, Schneider said he was involved in the construction of Base Dulce. In his 1995 presentation, he revealed that in the early stages of the project, the army encountered alien entities below the ground and a gunfight took place. He lost several fingers in this battle because of alien laser weapons. According to Schneider, about 60 people were killed in the conflict beneath the desert before a peace deal was settled. However, there is no evidence that what he claims is reliable. In 1996, Schneider committed suicide, taking the mysteries of Dulce Base to his grave. Dulce underground base as described by eyewitnesses. The mystery still covers Many illustrations of the layout of Dulce Base were circulated, but were not very reliable. Experts say it has 7 floors and is located about 3 km below the ground, which is strictly protected. Each floor is dedicated to a specific research, from controlling the human mind, to genetic experiments aimed at conducting human-alien hybrids. Some diagrams even show the aliens having their own homes on the base, while some staff members reveal the sixth floor – also known as the “nightmare Hall” – is the scariest of all. This place often emits the screams of the test subjects that echo through the corridors. According to Schneider, the Dulce Base is just one of 129 facilities of its kind that are concealed across the United States. He and his supporters allege the so-called “black budget” of the United States, somewhere between $50 and $80 billion, is capable of supporting clandestine research at these facilities. UFO sightings in the US still happen. The Pentagon recently acknowledged that Air Force footage of unidentified flying objects is real, and the Navy has drawn up new guidance on how to report these phenomena. For the inhabitants of Dulce, the story of aliens is nothing new. Geraldine Julian, who claims to have seen UFOs since the 1960s, said: “All over Dulce, anyone can tell you about aliens, if you ask. They will tell you what they have seen. It’s not a myth, because I’ve seen it myself.”
