Next, they climbed the rope down to the fourth floor, threading through an open window into the JP Morgan gem and mineral gallery. They are about to commit the biggest jewelry heist in New York history. Police find fingerprints after the theft of precious stones worth 3 million USD in 1964. Photo: Getty Images One is Jack Roland Murphy, a 27-year-old world-class surfer and violinist. This mastermind is commonly known as the surfer Murphy. His partner is Allan Kuhn, 26, of Miami. The watchman was 29-year-old Roger Clark, sitting in a sleek white Cadillac parked on the street, keeping in touch via walkie-talkie. Using glass cutters and rubber bands, the two thieves carefully sawed three glass cabinets so that the sound of the saw matched the sound of the plane flying in the sky to avoid attracting the attention of 8 security officers tasked with protecting the large museum big. The thieves took their time, spent a few hours in the lobby, and that night, they escaped with 22 gems worth $3 million in today’s prices. Among them, there are three rare gems: the Star of India, a 563.35 carat stone the size of a golf ball; The 100.32-carat DeLong Star ruby ​​and 116.75-carat dark purple Midnight sapphire – one of the largest black sapphires in the world. After collecting the loot, the thieves calmly passed a few policemen in the small park around the museum, then disappeared into the night. Murphy was sober enough to say hello to the officer. Then the thieves entered a jazz club, sipped cocktails. A veteran criminal who committed a series of burglaries in Miami, Murphy didn’t even bother to change his clothes. Indian Star. Photo: Wikipedia This elaborate heist started with stolen gems. The past of the Indian Star is always shrouded in mystery. This is a rounded pale green gemstone, 2 billion years old, 5cm in diameter, with a unique pattern like a 6-point star on the top and bottom, first discovered in Sri Lanka in the 1700s but forever 200 years later history will be marked. In the late 19th century, American philanthropist and financier JP Morgan hired gem collector George Kunz to buy a set of gems. The Indian star was among the jewels in the collection that Mr. Morgan later donated to the museum. There is so much lost information about many things in museums and especially in private collections, says Erin L. Thompson, a professor of art criminology at John Jay University in New York. Their owners did not specify their previous owners. No one knew about the journey of the Star of India and its owners until it was in the hands of George Kunz. Another mystery of this stone is why it is called the Star of India, and not the Star of Ceylon, the old name for Sri Lanka. DeLong Star ruby ​​red purple with 6 lines, originating from Myanmar, at that time was considered the most perfect ruby ​​in the world. An American named Edith Haggin DeLong donated the gem to the museum after buying it from collector Martin Leo Ehrmann in 1937 for the equivalent of $390,000 today. Ehrmann travels the world looking for rare and expensive jewelry, but the origins of the pieces in his collection are still unknown. There is no information on the sale and valuation of the DeLong Star ruby. US agents free Murphy (centre) after he was arrested in Miami. Photo: Getty Images The morning after the theft, James Oliver, the director of the American Museum of Natural History, was pulling his teeth when the museum staff discovered the theft. New York’s 20th police squad arrived at the scene just after 10 a.m. when informed. They found fingerprints and opened an investigation. The museum immediately closed. At first, investigators discovered that the thieves acted very carefully. When handling the box of large gems, they applied tape strips all over the circle of glass to be cut to prevent the glass from breaking and falling. Then they beat with a rubber mallet. With the next two boxes, they change their ways, just breaking the box and getting the jewels. The scene of the theft. Photo: Getty Images Officials say the thieves are unprofessional when estimating the value of the gems. They had forsaken a precious box of sapphires in favor of diamonds and emeralds of much less value. In addition, stolen rare gems cannot be sold because they are too popular. A plainclothes police officer tracked down staff at the nearby Cambridge House hotel, saying that the trio of thieves had recently thrown a grand party in an expensive room. After obtaining a search warrant and raiding the room, detectives discovered drugs, museum plans and books about gems. As police were searching the room, Roger Clark entered, saying that Murphy and Kuhn had flown to Miami. These two men were arrested two days after the theft and taken to New York. However, because there were no witnesses and no physical evidence, the case became groundless. Kuhn and Murphy were soon released on meager bail. District Attorney Marurice Nadjari started looking for other crimes committed by these guys to get a reason to detain them or at least get them to pay higher bail. Searching through old files, he found evidence to imprison two thieves. Kuhn when he was arrested in Miami in 1964. Photo: Getty Images While flying back to New York for the trial, Kuhn and Murphy were accused of strangling a woman to steal jewelry from a Miami hotel a few months earlier. That woman turned out to be the famous Hungarian actress Eva Gabor. The guarantee is now up to 100,000 USD. Gabor later did not sue, but the incident was enough for these two men to sit behind bars and be forced to negotiate. Sitting in jail, Kuhn told Mr. Nadjari that he could bring back the gems if he let him go to Miami alone. Not believing, on January 5, 1965, Nadjari and three plainclothes staff were on the same flight as Kuhn. After a series of phone calls and countless delays, they received instructions to find the locker keys at the Northeast Miami Trailways bus stop. Not long after arriving at the bus stop, a detective named Richard Maine returned with two soggy bags containing nine gems. These two bags were stuffed in Kuhn’s boat in Biscayne Bay. The gems are on display again at the museum, this time better protected. However, the DeLong Star ruby ​​is still missing. The thieves confessed to the crime and spent about two years at the Rikers Island prison in New York. The following September, a third party personally negotiated with a holder of the DeLong Star. Billionaire John D MacArthur paid a ransom of $25,000, or $200,000 at today’s prices, and the stone was recovered from a phone booth in Florida. Later, a man named Duncan Pearson was convicted in connection with the crime of hiding the ruby. However, several other gems were never found. For example, the Eagle diamond, a gem that was first discovered by a well digger in 1876 near the town of Eagle in Wisconsin, USA. It is thought that this diamond was cut into many small pieces, making the natural masterpiece forever disappear. Murphy did not change after serving his prison term in 1967. His crimes went beyond theft, becoming more cruel and violent. In 1969, he was found guilty of murdering two women who were accomplices in the theft of stocks and bonds worth $500,000 (equivalent to $4 million today). During a boat trip in Florida, a female accomplice threatened to accuse Murphy and his accomplice Jack Griffith if they did not share a larger amount. Both women were then beaten to death with batons, and their bodies were thrown into the sea. Murphy was convicted again and spent 17 years in Florida State Prison. While in prison, he began to minister with other inmates, preaching about atonement. In 1986, he was released and spent the rest of his life preaching to prisoners.

Bran Castle – a popular tourist attraction in Transylvania, Romania – which is considered the inspiration for the famous Dracula novel series, has set up a Covid-19 vaccination center.

In addition to fixed health stations, British people can register for vaccinations at churches. Twice a week, about 800 citizens can go to Poet’s Corner at Westminster Abbey (London, England) to receive medical staff’s help with Covid-19 vaccination. On its website, the monastery said that this vaccine site will accept individuals who make an appointment through the National Health Service, which is expected to operate until at least the end of June this year.

According to data from Our World in Data, more than half of the UK population has received at least one dose of the vaccine. Photo: Sky News. Since May, David Richardson, City Commissioner of Miami (USA), has launched an initiative to establish non-permanent vaccination points in the South Beach area. “We want to reach beachgoers and encourage them to change their mind about vaccination,” said Richardson. By the second day of the campaign, the registration points had consumed 125 doses of Johnson & Johnson vaccine and also used up 50 additional doses. Photo: Getty. Mr. Richardson said the campaign was heavily promoted on media and social networks. In addition to the target group of tourists coming to the Miami beach to relax, the city government also wants to mobilize neighboring people to come here to get vaccinated. “Some people come here in bathing suits, there are also people who come here to get vaccinated.” Photo: Miami Herald. The new vaccination site that is receiving attention from New York City public opinion is the bottom of a more than 28,000-meter whale model at the American Museum of Natural History. Those who register for vaccination here are given a voucher to visit the museum for free the next day. “This is the newest, hottest vaccination site right now,” New York City Councilmember Mark Levine wrote on Twitter.

Chinese paleontologists have found ancient insects, snakes, ancient birds and even dinosaur tails in fossil Burmese amber. Thanks to the special preservative properties of amber, these fossils have retained their original shape after 100 million years. One of the dinosaur feathers discovered in the amber piece was damaged by chewing and the markings are similar to the feathers of modern birds with parasitic lice. Feather is one of the types of “special impurities” preserved in Burmese amber, including neck feathers and insect feathers. Not long ago, two pieces of feathered amber from Myanmar attracted paleontologists because through microscopic observations, the researchers noticed some ancient bugs in the feathers. Although these bugs are small and hard to see, paleontologists have found that they have unique and striking habits. The newly discovered insect is named Mesophthirus engeli, revealing the early makeup of the lice ancestor. Mesophthirus engeli has no wings and a body similar to a lice. The team found that they chewed very vigorously through the marks of a dinosaur’s fur. A team of researchers from the Capital Education University of China, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Capital Medical Science University, the National Museum of Natural History, and the Russian Academy of Sciences studied the studies. Small insects preserved in amber and discovered this particular beetle. Archaeologists have named this tiny insect Mesophthirus engeli with the genus “Mesophthirus” from the Greek word and the name “engeli” is dedicated to Michael S. Engel, a famous paleontologist. Americans, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the study of ancient insects. The earliest appearing fur-eating insect was thought to be Megamenopon rasnitsyni. The lice fossils were unearthed in Germany 44 million years ago, according to Chungkun Shih, study author at the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum of Natural History. Researchers also found evidence of Jurassic and Cretaceous parasitic parasites 66 to 201 million years ago. This ancient bug was very small with a length of less than 0.2 mm, so researchers had to use an electron microscope to see its shape. Mesophthirus engeli looks very much like today’s lice, but it has a larger head with black dot-like eyes on the sides and two tentacles with three long spines on top of the head. Mesophthirus engeli can be said to possess a body “three rings as one”, with the head, chest and abdomen equally wide, six feet short, with claws and long spines at the end, can be grasped. This finding suggests that the insect’s feathering behavior has originated at least in the mid Cretaceous period. Although it looks like a lice, the Mesophthirus engeli species is far different from modern lice and lice. Hence, paleontologists established a new ancient taxon of insects – Mesophagous caterpillars. Compared with the body, the mouth of Mesophthirus engeli is very large and strong, two large jaws are serrated, capable of chewing very strongly. In addition, the researchers also found that in the amber pieces containing these ancient bugs all had the presence of feathers and they all existed signs of damage: broken niches formed near the body. feathers and feathers are also broken. The marks of damaged feathers resemble those left by a feather-eating bug after chewing on the feathers. And obviously, the culprit of these traces was none other than the Mesophthirus engeli species. The origin and early evolution of the hairy trait in insects is inherently ambiguous due to the lack of records of Mesozoic fossils – the period of tectonic, climatic and progressive activities. chemical. Blood-sucking insects were found during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, but dinosaur fur-eating insects have not been previously reported. The discovery of this ancient feather-eating beetle is of great significance, because it has pushed the history of feather-eating insects to 55 million years, because before the discovery of this beetle, the earliest feather-eating insect. is known to mankind in the Kainozoic era 44 million years ago. Thus, the discovery of Mesophthirus engeli filled the gap in the early evolution of a feather-eating insect. Mesophthirus engeli lived in the Cretaceous period 100 million years ago, this is also an important period of diversity and differentiation of primitive birds and feathered dinosaurs, it can be said that this is also the setting stage. parasitic relationship between feathering insects and their host.
