The “Mars Monkey” and the articles of that time are still on display at the museum of the Georgia State Bureau of Investigation. However, that night was different. They saw a strange creature, seemingly a dead alien… The incident was shocking, but the truth later made the public even more surprised. Strange creatures cause panic “Mars Monkey” once caused panic in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. On July 8, 1953, Sherley Brown and her teammates drove along the Bankhead Highway outside the town of Austell, Georgia, USA, patrolling as usual. When they came to a bend, they had to stop because a pickup truck stopped in the middle of the road, next to them were three men looking very excited and scared. When Brown got out of the car to find out what had happened, he learned it was two barbers named Ed Watters and Tom Wilson, and the other had a butcher’s shop named Arnold Payne. All three live in the town of Austell. They were excited, arguing with each other. After being reassured, they reported the incident. It turned out that this was not a murder as the two police officers initially thought. They said, while driving along a quiet country road and turning a bend, they saw a bright red flying saucer hovering over the asphalt. When they slowed down to take a closer look, they were surprised to see two strange creatures about 60 cm tall lurking in the bushes, then one rushed out in front of their truck and was hit, while the other one rushes onto the swooping flying object. The flying saucer then emitted a blue light and sped away into the night, shooting flames that blazed across the pavement. They also testified that when they stopped the car, they saw the strange creature lying dead on the road. Brown didn’t believe this, until they showed him evidence that the highway pavement was indeed melted to a very high temperature and still had a strange creature on it. Brown noticed that the animal had no hair, pale body, contorted head and large round eyes. It looked disgusting and clearly out of this world, so Brown was forced to admit the three were telling the truth and immediately report the incident to headquarters. It didn’t take long for the story of UFOs and alien corpses to go viral. Soon after the police headquarters was reported, the Air Force and dozens of others claimed to have seen lights in the sky and strange creatures running back and forth that night. When the incident made headlines the next day with many images of the dead creature, many believed that there was an actual alien invasion. A local veterinarian, after examining the body of the strange creature, declared it “out of this world”, causing further panic among the public. The work of jokers The “Mars Monkey” and the articles published at the time are now on display at the museum of the Georgia State Bureau of Investigation. Not long after, the creature known as the “Mars monkey” was brought to Emory University, Atlanta to be examined by Dr. Herman Jones and Dr. Marion Hines, two professors of anatomy. And the result caused a stir in public opinion. It turns out that this is not a “Mars monkey” or an alien creature, but just an ordinary monkey, a rhesus monkey to be exact, which has been shaved and colorfully embellished to look. monstrous compared to reality. Three men who claimed to have run over the aliens then confessed that it was all a joke but didn’t expect it to get out of control. Accordingly, after stumbling upon a dead monkey, they brought it home to shave and cut off its tail, and then paint it with some green food coloring to increase the strangeness. After being satisfied with the “work”, they took it to the highway and used a torch to burn the asphalt to create circles like a melted UFO track. Even after these confessions were made public, it took a while for people to calm down and accept that they were tricked and that no aliens invaded. Meanwhile, the three jokers mentioned above were only convicted by the court of dumping animal carcasses causing unsanitary and obstructing highways, forcing them to pay a fine of 40 USD. After the trial, letters rushed to the local newspapers, demanding that these people be prosecuted before the law for cruelty to animals. Some even suggested shaving the head of the mastermind. However, a reader in Jacksonville, Florida wrote: “Don’t be too hard on these boys. They have done a meaningful job by making many people realize that they are still living in dark times of superstition and believing in unrealistic things.” Others said that the above incident proves that hoaxes with the inadvertent help of the media sometimes create an uproar. This happens all the time even in modern times, forcing us to stay awake and see strange things with the eyes of a difficult person. The incident that caused panic eventually subsided, and the “Mars monkey” was later owned by a small museum of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, where it was displayed along with articles published in August. at that moment.

16 Psyche is believed to be the core of a dead planet. NASA plans to explore asteroid 16 Psyche – long thought to be the core of a dead planet – in 2022 to determine if it actually contains the precious metal. worth 10 trillion USD, which means making everyone on Earth a billionaire or not. Before that time, however, a new study suggests that 16 Psyche is more than likely just a pile of debris. Research published in the journal Planetary Science shows that 16 Psyche is composed of 82.5% metal, 7% iron content pyroxene and 10.5% carbon chondrite. It can also have a bulk density – i.e. the degree of free space inside – of 35%. These numbers are much lower than previous estimates that said it could contain up to 95% metals, mainly iron, nickel and gold. NASA has planned to probe the asteroid 16 Psyche, which is said to be filled with iron, gold, nickel and platinum, in 2022. The study’s lead author, David Cantillo, a senior at UA Arizona University, said in a statement: “The drop in metal content and bulk density is interesting because it shows that 16 Psyche is very strong. different than previously thought”. “It would come as a surprise to see Psyche as a pile of debris, but our data continue to show low bulk density estimates despite its high metal content,” Cantillo said. If the “gold-filled” asteroid was more like a wreck and had less metal inside, as Cantillo and other researchers believe, it wouldn’t be that different from other asteroids in the Solar System, for example. like the asteroid Bennu. Now, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission recently embarked on a 2.2 billion-kilometer journey back to Earth after collecting nearly 1kg of rock and dust from Bennu, which could help shed light on how the Solar System formed. . To arrive at their new discovery, the researchers reconstructed the surface of 16 Psyche in the lab, mixing the different ingredients until the patterns of visible light matched those of the asteroid. “Having a lower metal content than previously thought means the asteroid may have collided with asteroids containing more common carbon chondrites, depositing a surface layer,” Cantillo said. that we are observing”. However, NASA notes 16 Psyche remains a major concern for scientists. It is the 16th asteroid discovered on March 17, 1852 by the Italian astronomer, Annibale de Gasparis. 16 Psyche takes about 5 years to orbit the Sun once, but only 4 hours to rotate on its axis, making the day on this asteroid only 1/6th of the day on Earth. According to EarthSky.org, 16 Psyche has a diameter of 182 km, containing 1% of all metals in the asteroid belt. Watch a simulation video of asteroid 16 Psyche (Source Daily Mail) Even if 16 Psyche is worth less than the $10 trillion figure, it’s still valuable to researchers hoping to learn more about what they believe to be the remains of a long-dead planet. . Study author Cantillo said: “The opportunity to study the exposed core of a planet is extremely rare, which is why they sent spacecraft missions there, but our work shows that 16 Psyche is much more interesting than anticipated.” The researchers also believe that there is water on 16 Psyche’s surface, so they will look to merge their data with other missions to asteroids to determine how much water is present. The $117 million spacecraft — which NASA began building in July 2020 — will go into space aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. It is expected to reach asteroid 16 Psyche in the asteroid belt in early 2026. The spacecraft will travel for 21 months in asteroid orbit, mapping and studying the properties of the giant meteorite, with the goal of determining if it is indeed the core of a planet. Asteroid 16 Psyche has long been thought to contain large amounts of iron, nickel, gold and platinum. The Metal World of 16 Psyche 16 Psyche is located in the large asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and may have started as a planet, before it was partially destroyed during the formation of the Solar System. It is now a 200km-wide block of metal, made up of iron, nickel and several other rare metals, including gold, platinum and copper. Thus, it could provide a unique view of the violent collisions that created the Earth and the planets. NASA’s mission will seek to determine whether Psyche was the core of an early planet, how old it is, whether it formed in ways similar to Earth’s core and its surface. how. NASA will send an unmanned spacecraft mission to 16 Psyche, scheduled to launch in August 2022. 16 Psyche, which could be 370 million kilometers away from Earth, is one of the most mysterious objects in our Solar System, and scientists may soon get a close-up look thanks to a newly identified NASA mission take. If the asteroid could be transported back to Earth, the iron alone would be worth $10 trillion. Its value would be large enough to destroy commodity prices and cause the world economy – worth $73.7 trillion – to collapse. Assuming the market for material from asteroid 16 Psyche is returned to Earth, this could cause the value of precious metals to plummet, completely devaluing all holdings including those of governments and all companies engaged in the exploitation, distribution and sale of such commodities.

The dummy wears the first generation Orion Crew Survival System space item page, equipped with two radiation sensors. Placing a dummy on board an unmanned train scheduled to launch in November 2021 will provide data to help scientists understand the forces that crew members may experience during the Artemis spaceflight. II in 2023. moonikin effigy Helga and Zohar effigy The Artemis I mission will be NASA’s first mission to the Moon since Apollo 17 in 1972. The Artemis II mission will send humans to the Moon. But before that milestone is made, the new Orion spacecraft and the SLS Space Launch System rocket are tested during the first launch to ensure the safety of human astronauts. Also accompanying ‘Moonikin’ on the Artemis I mission are Helga and Zohar, two models of the human body, known as Phantom, made from materials that mimic human bones, tissues and organs. Two Phantoms will sit in the back two seats on the Orion. Helga and Zohar help quantify the space radiation astronauts may experience while inside Orion during missions to the Moon. Also to evaluate the AstroRad radiation protective vest, which can reduce exposure. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are currently wearing the vest to assess fit and function. During NASA’s Artemis I mission, Zohar will wear a vest, and Helga will not. Currently, the main dummy has no name, scientists affectionately call it ‘moonikin’. Therefore, the US space agency NASA is holding an online event ‘Name the moonikin in the Artemis mission’ online event. Participants helped NASA choose a meaningful name from a list available from June 16 to June 28. Through social networks Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, participants will vote to choose the name they like and the name with the most votes will become the official name of the dummy. Voters can choose from eight potential names: Ace, Wargo, Delos, Duhart, Campos, Shackleton, Montgomery and Rigel. Specifically: 1. ACE: Straightforward, realistic. Short for Artemis Crew Explorer (rough translation: Artemis Crew Explorer) 2. CAMPOS: Ingenious, know how to solve problems. Named after Arturo Campos, who played a key role in bringing back Apollo 13. 3. DELOS: Nostalgia, romance. According to Greek mythology, this is the island where Apollo and Artemis were born. 4. DUHART: Enthusiastic, vibrant, open-minded. Named after Irene Duhart Long, the first woman minority, medical director at the Kennedy Space Center. 5. MONTGOMERY: Pioneering, innovative. Named after Julius Montgomery, the first African-American engineering specialist to work at the Cape Canaveral Space Facility. 6. RIGEL: Bright, brilliant, inspiring. Supergiant star in the constellation Orion. 7. SHACKLETON: Mysterious, rich. Named after a famous Antarctic explorer, as well as the crater on the south pole of the Moon. 8. WARGO: Energetic, enthusiastic, passionate. Named after Michael Wargo, NASA scientist and head of science for human exploration Kathryn Hambleton, a NASA spokesperson, said: “It’s important for the organization to invite the public to participate in online naming and other challenges to get everyone on the journey, inspiring the next generation of explorers. We look forward to the name chosen for the moonikin.” NASA once held contests to name ships and objects used in space exploration missions. The Perseverance, which landed on Mars on February 19, was named after a national competition in early 2020. The winner was Alexander Maher, a 7th grader in Virginia. Meanwhile, teenager Vaneeza Rupani from Alabama won when naming Ingenuity, the name of NASA’s Mars helicopter. Rupani’s essay in NASA’s 2020 “Name the Helicopter” contest won after beating 28,000 entries. Hoang Dung (translation summary)

Analyzes show that the Colombian mammoth that inhabited North America during the last ice age was a hybrid between a woolly mammoth and a previously unknown line of mammoths. In addition, the study also provides new insights into when and how quickly mammoths adapted to cold climates. About a million years ago, there was no woolly mammoth on Earth (also known as tundra mammoth, scientific name: Mammuthus primigenius) ; or the Colombian mammoth (scientific name: Mammuthus columbi) , because they haven’t evolved yet. The ancient steppe mammoths were their ancestors. Researchers have now managed to analyze the genomes of three ancient mammoth species, using DNA recovered from mammoth teeth that had been buried for 0.7 to 1.2 million years in the permafrost layer. in Siberia. This is the first time DNA has been sequenced and authenticated from specimens that are millions of years old, and extracting DNA from these samples has been a challenge. The scientists found that only a small amount of DNA remained in the samples, and that they were broken down into very small fragments. Love Dalén, Professor of evolutionary genetics at the Center for Ancient Genetics in Stockholm, said: “This DNA is very ancient. The specimens are thousands of times older than the Viking relics, and even more predated the existence of humans and Neanderthals”. The ages of the specimens were determined using both geological data and molecular clocks. Both types of analysis show that two of the specimens are more than 1 million years old, while the third is about 700,000 years old and represents one of the earliest known woolly mammoths. come. The unexpected origin of the Colombian mammoth Genomic analysis shows that the oldest specimen, about 1.2 million years old, belongs to a previously unknown lineage of mammoth genes. The researchers call this the Krestovka mammoth, a name based on the area where it was found. The results show that the Krestovka mammoth diverged from other Siberian mammoth species more than 2 million years ago. “This came as a complete surprise to us. All previous studies have shown that there was only one species of mammoth in Siberia at that time, called the steppe mammoth. But the Our DNA analysis now shows that there are 2 different genetic lines, which we here call Mammoth Adycha and Mammoth Krestovka . We can’t say for sure yet, but we think they may represent two different species,” said Tom van der Valk, lead author of the study. Teeth of the Krestovka mammoth. Source: CPG The researchers also suggest that it was the mammoth of the Krestovka lineage that “dominated” North America about 1.5 million years ago. In addition, analyzes show that the Colombian mammoth, which lived in North America during the last ice age, was a hybrid. Nearly half of its genome comes from the Krestovka lineage and the other half from the woolly mammoth. “This is an important discovery. It seems that the Colombian mammoth, one of the most iconic species of the Ice Age in North America, evolved through a crossbreeding that took place about 420,000 years ago.” – Dong Author Patrícia Pečnerová said. Evolution and adaptation in the woolly mammoth The second million-year-old genome, from the Adycha mammoth, appears to be the ancestor of the woolly mammoth. The researchers were therefore able to compare its genome with that of one of the earliest known woolly mammoths that lived 0.7 million years ago, as well as with the genome of a mammoth. sucking only a few thousand years old. This makes it possible for scientists to investigate how mammoths adapted to life in cold environments and the extent to which this adaptation evolved during speciation. Proving how this giant animal has “risen” strongly over the past millions of years under extreme cold weather. The analyzes show that gene variants associated with life in the Arctic, such as hair growth, thermoregulation, fat accumulation, cold tolerance and circadian rhythms , appeared in the million-year-old mammoth, long before the origin of the woolly mammoth. These results indicate that most adaptations in the mammoth lineage occurred slowly and gradually over time. “Our analysis shows that most of the adaptations to cold weather were present in the ancestors of the woolly mammoth, and we found no evidence for natural selection. faster in speciation,” said co-author David Díez-del-Molino. Like their modern relatives, mammoths were quite large. The largest known species reach a height of 4 m and a weight of up to 8 tons, with some particularly large males weighing more than 12 tons. Future research The new results open the door to a host of future studies on other species. Love Dalén and co-author Patrícia Pečnerová with a mammoth tusk on Wrangel Island (Arctic Ocean). Photo: Gleb Danilov About a million years ago was a time when many species of organisms flourished across the globe. This is also a time of great changes in climate and sea levels, and the last time the Earth’s magnetic poles change positions. Therefore, the researchers think that genetic analyzes on this time scale have great potential to explore a wide range of scientific questions. “One of the big questions right now is how far back in time we can go. We haven’t reached the limit for the longest. It is expected that we can recover DNA that is two million years old, and even more so. can even go back as far as 2.6 million. Before that, there was no permafrost where ancient DNA could be preserved.” Anders Götherström, Professor of Molecular Archeology and lead researcher at the Center for Paleontology. These findings are published in the journal Nature.

People in Brazil are examining debris believed to have belonged to a European spacecraft in 2014. Photo: Getty. Sea of ​​Japan (also known as East Sea) The phenomenon of space debris falling to the ground and causing damage was first recorded in 1969. That year, Japanese diplomats informed the United Nations of an unidentified object from space falling from space. down and collided with a Japanese cargo ship moving off the coast of Siberia (Russia). The collision seriously injured five crew members. Not long after, a Soviet ship at that time appeared to search for the wreckage. The Japanese official said the debris was identified by experts as part of a Soviet spacecraft. However, this information was initially kept secret by Tokyo because it did not want to create a conflict with Moscow, according to AP. Northwest Territories, Canada The danger of objects from space became apparent in 1978, when Cosmos 954, the Soviet Union’s atomic-powered satellite, crashed to Earth. The incident caused radioactive debris to be scattered throughout the Northwest Territories, Alberta, and the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. After the incident, the Canadian government organized a large-scale “Operation Morning Light” to search for tiny pieces of radioactive material that fell on the Arctic tundra. The cost for this campaign is nearly 14 million CAD (equivalent to 11.5 million USD). A fragment of the satellite Cosmos 954. Photo: United States Department of Energy. Canada demanded compensation from the Soviet Union at that time in the amount of 6 million CAD (equivalent to 5 million USD), but Moscow ended up paying only half of that amount. State of West Australia, Australia In 1979, Skylab – the first space station of the US Space Agency (NASA) – broke up while re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere. The incident caused a lot of debris to fall across the farm town of Esperance in West Australia, Australia. The Skylab space station was photographed by the last crew before it broke up on July 11, 1979. Photo: NASA. “It’s the most beautiful fireworks display you’ll ever see,” Brendan Freeman, a retired farmer, told ABC. The debris did not cause major damage, but for fun, the town of Esperance authorities wrote a $ 400 NASA fine for littering. NASA did not pay the fine, possibly out of fear of setting an unfavorable precedent. In 2009, a DJ in the city of Barstow, California (USA) called for fundraising and brought the fine to pay the town of Esperance. Lakeport, California, USA Early one weekend in 1987, a retired aircraft mechanic living in a town near Mendocino National Forest in northern California heard what sounded like gunfire outside his bedroom window. After searching, he discovered a scorched metal piece more than 2m long lying in the alley next to the house. An analyst with the US Air Force determined that the object was most likely a piece of debris dropped from a Soviet missile. This rocket has previously been seen flying across the sky while burning up and falling to Earth. “It’s interesting because things like that don’t happen around here very often,” Maggie Pickle, the mechanic’s neighbor, told the AP. Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA Lottie Williams holds up a piece of debris that hit her shoulder from a US Delta II rocket in 1997. Photo: Tulsa World. One morning in 1997, Lottie Williams was walking with friends in Tulsa City Park when she saw what appeared to be a comet streaking across the sky. This object fell on Mrs. Williams’ shoulder, but the impact was very light, almost without feeling. This object was determined by scientists to be most likely a fragment of a US Delta II rocket. The fragment was kept by Mrs. Williams as a souvenir. “I had to be very lucky for the debris to be so light. It was one of the strangest things that ever happened to me,” Williams told NPR in an interview years later. East Texas and Louisiana, USA, In 2003, the US space shuttle Columbia broke up while re-entering the atmosphere, killing 7 astronauts on board. In places where the debris of the shuttle hit the ground, temporary memorials were erected for the crew. People in rural areas along the Texas-Louisiana state border reported seeing debris from the ship falling into a water storage tank or through the roof of a dental office. Someone even tried to sell a fragment on the e-commerce site eBay for $ 10,000. In the end, 84,000 pieces of wreckage from the wrecked ship were collected after an extensive search in swamps, woodlands, and grasslands. These debris were used to rebuild the ship and determine the cause of the disaster. Ivory Coast In May 2020, another Chinese Long March 5B rocket also crashed to Earth. The rocket was initially thought to have landed in the Pacific Ocean, but some people reported hearing a sonic boom and seeing metal shards falling from the sky. This shows that some parts of the Long March 5B missile fell on the village of Mahounou, in Ivory Coast. China’s Long March 5B rocket launch in late April in Hainan province. Photo: Getty. However, there were no reports of human casualties after the incident. The discovery of a piece of pipe more than 12 meters long also seems to help this area get more attention. Grant County, Washington State, USA The most recent space debris incident occurred just over a month ago, when a rocket owned by private aerospace company SpaceX exploded over the Pacific Northwest. The explosion created a “show of light,” which some initially mistook for a meteor shower, according to The Verge. A piece of equipment from the rocket fell on a farm in Washington state, leaving a mark more than 12cm deep in the ground, The Verge reported. A similar object was also discovered by fishermen off the Oregon coast a few days later, but authorities have not confirmed whether this is debris from a SpaceX rocket.

Challenging physical logic has become the identity of the Fast & Furious cinematic universe in recent years. Photo: Universal Pictures. Huge blocks of magnets await the audience at Fast & Furious 9 is one of many quirky technologies born from the imagination of the brand’s creative team Fast & Furious . However, their role cannot be denied in creating a unique and new look for each work compared to the previous film. Recently, page Cinema Blend has synthesized the technology that has a strong smell of fiction that has appeared in the cinematic universe Fast & Furious . The javelin disables the internal electrical system 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) 2 Fast 2 Furious is the second part of the series Fast & Furious and also the only work without Vin Diesel. In the movie, a device called the ESD Harpoon Launcher – the spear that disables the electrical system – appears twice. The device that disables the car’s electrical system was invented not long after 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003). For the first time, this device was shot by a police officer in Brian O’Connor’s (Paul Walker) car, causing the entire vehicle’s electrical system to be disabled. For the second time, director John Singleton continued to let O’Connor wrestle with a one-of-a-kind weapon. However, in the “old-timer re-composed” phase, the javelin malfunctioned, creating conditions for the undercover policeman to escape. At the time of 2003, a device to disable the electrical system in a car had not yet been invented. However, a few years later, a similar technology was born. By page The Engineer , instead of firing a javelin into the tire like in the movie, the device called RF Safe-Stop uses radio waves to disable electrical equipment on the vehicle. Inner god eyes Furious 7 (2015) and The Fate of the Furious (2018) God’s Eye is a state-of-the-art data theft program written by Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel). She is the super female hacker of the speed family, appearing from the 7th season of Fast & Furious . The software can break into any electronic device with a recording function, giving users the right to collect information from anyone, anywhere on Earth. Versions of spy technology similar to the Eye of God have appeared in many Hollywood sci-fi films. Photo: Universal Pictures. The Eye of God first appeared in Furious 7 , when Toretto’s team is tasked with finding Ramsey and the device for Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell). In return, Mr. Nobody will help them stop Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham). After a series of chases that defy the laws of physics, the group successfully rescued Ramsey as well as regained the Eye of God from the terrorist Mose Jakande (Djimon Hounsou). Jakende plots to use this technology to track down and destroy his enemies. Next The Fate of the Furious (2018), the Magic Eye technology appeared again when the speed family used it to locate frontman Dominic Toretto. Later, the software was stolen by female hacker Cipher. Cipher steals car with software flaw in The Fate of the Furious (2018) In The Fate of the Furious (2018), Cipher used the Eye of God to track down a Russian government official holding a nuclear bomb. She also used Zero-day Exploit – a technology to exploit software vulnerabilities – to infiltrate the operating systems of hundreds of cars in New York and control them like an army. Cipher’s show of power turns The Fate of the Furious into a sci-fi movie. Photo: Universal Pictures. With a legion of cars in her hands, the female hacker turned New York into her playground, causing countless damages. Cipher’s show of talent is a testament to the fact that Fast & Furious has become a franchise of action fiction movies instead of the speed racing series as it was in the beginning. The idea of ​​infiltrating the operating systems of hundreds of cars of all different makes, models and operating systems, and then running them like queen bees leading worker bees – just like what Cipher demonstrated in The Fate of the Furious – still unthinkable at present. Brixton Lore’s Body Upgrade System in Hobbs and Shaw (2019) Up to now, Hobbs and Shaw is the only spin-off franchise launched in the universe Fast & Furious . The film introduces the audience to the character “Black Superman” Brixton Lore (Idris Elba) and the body upgrade system that helps him gain super-soldier powers. Around the character Brixton Lore, there are many unresolved plot holes. Photo: Universal Pictures. Brixton Lore is a former MI6 field worker. He already has a grudge against Shaw, ready to pay any price to help the technological terrorist organization Eteon complete their plan to purify humanity. The body upgrade system helps Brixton Lore gain superhuman strength and endurance far beyond the limits of human endurance. Lore is enough to make two muscular men Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Shaw flinch. Up to now, the technology that strengthens humanity – often used in sci-fi and superhero movies – is still just a product of human imagination. Snowflake technology in Hobbs and Shaw Snowflake is a programmable super virus that is hunted by the terrorist organization Eteon to turn into a biological weapon to massacre humanity. At the beginning of the film, Hattie Shaw (Vanessa Kirby) tries to steal this virus for the MI6 organization. Hattie then had to inject it herself to prevent Brixton Lore from stealing it. Bioterrorism is the obsession of mankind in the 21st century. Photo: Universal Pictures. At the end of the film, Hattie Shaw was able to remove Snowflake from her body. The virus was given to the CIA. But this is only the beginning of a bigger disaster, when the existence of a more dangerous pathogen than Snowflake has been revealed.

Born in Germany, Otto Bettmann at the age of 32 lost his job selling rare books when Hitler came to power. He ran from Germany to New York, USA with only 2 boxes of belongings and 5 dollars in his pocket. In particular, in those two boxes are the rolls of film and the number of photos Bettmann collected while earning a PhD in art history at the University of Leipzig. By the end of the 20th century, Bettmann had grown into one of the world’s finest private photo collections. By the time Bettmann arrived in New York, LIFE, Look and Time magazines were in their infancy but were rapidly gaining popularity. Bettmann became their source of photos, with rental fees ranging from $50 to $3,000. During her career, whenever and wherever possible, Bettmann was there to photograph events. Over time, Bettmann has amassed a huge stock of photographs, by purchasing the rights of other paparazzi. Bettmann is also known for being rigorous and discerning when it comes to choosing photos. He typically turns down most of the 100,000 images his employees put on their desks every year. After the acquisition of UPI’s photo archive, his collection grew to 11 million, but some estimate it could be as large as 19 million. Bettmann’s archive is now housed in an underground cave system that used to be a limestone quarry. In 1998, the Boston-based “Iron Mountain” company renovated and leased it as a storage facility with customers such as data centers, television networks, etc. In addition to special security, the “Iron Mountain” facility features a fire department, restaurant, water treatment plant, and 150-acre underground lake. Nearly 2,500 people work in the cave daily, like a small city. The Bettmann Photo Collection has the same conditions of preservation as the Smithsonian or the National Archives; but this is a commercial organization that provides photographs for newspapers, magazines, books, television and academic research activities for a fee. Negatives are carefully inspected and maintained in a approximately 1,000-square-foot facility, equipped with Verilux lamps to provide vitamin D to staff. This photo archive is cross-categorized and indexed into 50 groups, 5,000 subject categories, and thousands of subcategories. “What Bettmann has created is a visual history of the world categorized by subject,” the New York Times said. One of the iconic images of America in the Bettmann Archive is a photograph of President Harry S. Truman gleefully holding up the incorrect headline on the front page of the Chicago Daily Tribune misinforming his defeat before Thomas E. Dewey in the 1948 Presidential election. The haunting image of President Abraham Lincoln towering over his Confederate generals at Antietam is one of many Civil War photographs in Bettmann’s photo collection. The Bettmann Collection contains some of the most recognizable photographs of the 20th century: Group of construction workers atop the 70-story Rockefeller Center building in Manhattan Or the legendary photo of Marilyn Monroe taken in September 1954 in the movie 20th Century Fox This Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph depicts a Vietnamese mother with her children wading across a river, fleeing US bombing on September 7, 1965. This photo shows that Americans clearly understand what really happened during the Vietnam War Picture of the tragedy that occurred with the Hindenburg airship in 1937. It exploded upon landing at Lakehurst Airport, New Jersey, after a transatlantic flight, killing 36 passengers. Bill Gates bought the Bettmann collection in 1995. In 2016, billionaire Bill Gates sold the digital rights to valuable photos that were in danger of deteriorating over time. Most of the Bettmann Repository currently does not post photos online but is issued in hard copy. Bob Ahern, Director of Archives Photography at Getty Images, estimates that to date, only 1% of the entire collection has been released to the public.

One of 17 decapitated bodies found in an ancient Roman cemetery. The cemeteries held the burial of 52 people, and 17 beheaded bodies including 9 men and 8 women and all were over 25 years old at the time of death, a team of researchers reported in an article published online May 19 in the British journal Britannia. In many cases, the heads of the decapitated people were buried next to their feet and the pottery was placed in the position where their heads would normally have been. Some bodies were also laid face down in their graves. Researchers believe that those who were beheaded were executed. They note that the number of criminals in Roman law increased dramatically during the third and fourth centuries, around the time these skeletons were buried. Remains of archaeological evidence shows that the Roman army used Knobb’s farm as a supply center and they would take strict action if there was any violation. “During the third and fourth centuries, the penalties imposed under Roman law became more and more severe. The number of criminals applying the death penalty increased from 14 at the beginning of the third century to about 60 by Constantine’s death in 337 AD,” The researchers have noted that security concerns are one of the reasons for the increase in the death penalty. During the third and fourth centuries, there were many civil wars in the Roman Empire, many of which were fought to be crowned emperor. Despite the possibility of execution, individuals were still buried with ceramic pots and in some cases placed in coffins. Isabel Lisboa, the archaeologist who led the excavation, said: ‘A beheaded woman had the richest collection of tombstones, buried with two urns and a coal bead necklace. Pipe coal is a type of coal that is easy to glow. Under Roman law, family and friends could demand that the body of an executed criminal be returned for burial. Those executed were likely not slaves, as slaves had no status and likely would not have been buried. Scholars argue Even so, Simon Cleary, emeritus professor of Roman Archeology at the University of Birmingham in the UK, said: “What we know of the sites of Roman judicial executions suggests that they are mainly in cities and towns and have a deterrent effect. Knobb’s ranch is not near any major towns or cities.” Cleary adds that a law made by the emperor in Rome is difficult to enforce in a remote place. It is possible that these people were executed but Roman law may have nothing to do with why they were killed. By the fourth century, the Roman army had for centuries become a draconian rule, with no way back for the common man, says Cleary. Why most of the burials of decapitated people in the Roman Empire occurred in Britain is unclear. Roman Britain can be really weird at times, especially in its treatment of the dead, there are plenty of ritual practices other than beheading or burial that to our eyes look eerie. . To people’s eyes at the time, they could be completely conceivable.” Other scholars have also expressed doubt that Roman law had much to do with the burial of the decapitated. Caroline Humfress, director of the Institute for Constitutional and Legal Studies at St. Andrews in Scotland, said: “I personally think it is very unlikely that the executions on Knobb’s farm were related to Roman legal processes.” “If they have a judicial context, it’s more likely to be localized and involve executions carried out without trial,” Humfress said. However, other scholars argue that these people could have been executed according to Roman law. “The official execution seems to be the best explanation for the Knobb Ranch cases,” said Judith Evans Grubbs, a professor of Roman history at Emory University in Atlanta. He noted that women in the Roman Empire were often the target of accusations of witchcraft and adultery, both of which could have been considered crimes by the Romans.

The book “Forever Life 2” appeared in the National High School mock exam in 2021. Specifically, in part 1, the test contains an excerpt from the book, and candidates read and understand and answer questions about the message the author sends in the passage: “Knowledge and education are completely different from wisdom. People who study more degrees and have more knowledge are not necessarily more talented and wise than people. The more people rely on them, the more they think they learn, the more they cling to things. Their ideas are limited and they often show intolerance and empathy for other people’s thoughts.Those who are good at reasoning often prefer to argue, argue, disagree with others according to their thoughts rather than listening. , explore and empathize. Knowledge helps us argue and convince with valid arguments, but it will not really affect others, because it cannot really win hearts and penetrate human souls. Only what goes from the heart can reach the heart of another.” The passage in the above exam is one of the tips given by the author in the book to help people transform their minds to be able to overcome the terrible upheavals that are taking place. The work has pointed out the difference in rank that is often confused between “Knowledge” and “Wisdom”, between “Knowledge” and “Spiritual”. The limit of knowledge, knowledge is still not enough for humanity to understand the deep roots of all problems. People still need to achieve more comprehensive enlightenment of “mind” in order to be able to “see beyond” things. “Forever Life 2” gives you a new perspective on the world, the cycle of reincarnation and the law of cause and effect; wake up and cultivate a good attitude towards life. Following Thomas’s strange lives in the mighty civilizations of Atlantis and Egypt in volume 1, “Forever Lives 2” is Thomas’ next unprecedented journey on a train through time – no The period stretches from contemporary America, back to the Mesopotamian desert of Assyria to ancient Greece, Persia, and India through the conquests of Alexander the Great. The memory of the heroic warrior Achilles in the legendary siege of Troy, the sudden awakening of the undefeated great emperor when conquering the mysterious country or the mysteries of the tomb of tyrant Qin Shi Huang… The magnificent picture of the human condition has to rotate constantly in the causal storm of ambition, war, hatred and love throughout the history of the world. Not only are Thomas’ profound lessons on Cause and Effect, “Forever Life 2” also lifts the veil of mystery and explores the endless journey of souls through the realms, the transit station in countless lifetimes. living… All are summed up, logically strung together with a harmonious perspective between spirituality, science, philosophy and the history of civilizations from East to West, from ancient to modern. Through wise conversations, the work also offers a way to transform karma, at the same time, warn of great dangers and changes in the future of humanity as well as sending healing messages. Compared to part 1, the richness and breadth of knowledge of “Forever Life 2” is expanded in many fields to further clarify the universal law of cause and effect, the primordial energy that creates life. existence of all things in the universe, of which man is the most vivid reflection. As soon as it was released, the latest work of Professor John Vu – Nguyen Phong created a fever, was well received by a large number of readers, even “hunted” as a spiritual “vaccine” in the midst of the peak of the world. 4th Covid-19 pandemic. The world is entering a period of many challenges and witnessing catastrophic and traumatic events that have never occurred in human history. The Covid-19 pandemic, climate change, natural disasters, storms and floods, forest fires, potential regional war risks cover people in anxiety and insecurity not understanding what is happening and will happen. With compassion, love and profound enlightenment, Professor John Vu – Nguyen Phong wrote this work to help readers better understand the law of energy, the close relationship between cause and effect, spreading the seeds of awakening and healing, and providing alarming analysis of the future of humanity in a very special period – the cycle of the planet.

Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos inspects the New Shepard launch facility in West Texas. A spot on his upcoming flight is up for auction. Photo: EPA This will be the first manned flight conducted by Bezos’ space company, Blue Origin. The flight is scheduled to take place on July 20, the 52nd anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on the Moon. Bezos and his brother Mark, a former advertising executive and volunteer firefighter, will join the flight with the winner of the ship’s airfare auction, with the lowest bid of $2.8 million. USD. In an Instagram post, billionaire Bezos said he had dreamed of traveling into space since he was 5 years old. “I will go on that journey with my brother. The best adventure, with my best friend,” declared the Amazon founder. With an estimated personal fortune of $186.2 billion, Jeff Bezos is one of several billionaire entrepreneurs driving a “new space race,” each pumping billions of dollars into private startups. Their aim is to develop low-cost, commercialized space travel. But while Virgin Galactic founder Richard Branson is expected to make a suborbital flight later this year, and SpaceX’s Elon Musk has vowed to “die on Mars,” it’s Bezos who’s the one. Win the race to be the first of this hit trio of billionaires to reach the edge of space. Watch Blue Origin successfully launch and land a reusable New Shepard space rocket (Source: CNBC) Mr Musk has yet to comment on Bezos’ latest statement, while Branson congratulated his rival, saying their two companies are “opening up to space”. “Congratulations to Jeff Bezos and his brother Mark for announcing their plans to go into space. Jeff started Blue Origin in 2000, we started Virgin Galactic in 2004 and now both are opening up access to space – incredible!” Branson tweeted. personal. Musk and Bezos are said to have been head-to-head on several projects over the past decade. Elon Musk sees his tech giant as an “imitation” in some of Amazon’s business ventures, while Bezos mocks the SpaceX CEO’s plans to send people to Mars. Bezos’ company Blue Origin was founded in 2000, touting itself as a means of providing cheaper access to space through the use of reusable rockets – namely the New Shepard that flew 15 times. Jeff Bezos’ space tourism project with Blue Origin is competing with a similar program being developed by Space X, the rocket company founded and run by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and the company. Virgin Galactic is backed by Richard Branson. In April 2017, Bezos revealed that he invests about $1 billion in Amazon stock in Blue Origin every year. Blue Origin’s spaceship system consists of a pressurized crew capsule mounted on top of a reusable New Shepard booster. During the first manned flight into space, the crew aboard the New Shepard will spend at least 10 minutes hovering in zero gravity inside the capsule. Bezos founded Blue Origin in 2000. The upcoming space flight is the culmination of more than two decades of forays into space for Jeff Bezos, who announced plans to step down as Amazon’s CEO just now. 15 days before flight date. Instead, he will become Executive Chairman of the company he founded in his garage in 1994 – allowing him “time and energy” to focus on other business ventures. Blue Origin named its space rocket program New Shepard after astronaut Alan Shepard, the first American to fly into space exactly 60 years ago. The upcoming flight will mark a major milestone in the mission to take paying customers beyond space. However, for now, Elon Musk’s SpaceX seems to be leading in the space billionaire race with multiple launches of NASA equipment to the ISS and a partnership to send tourists to space by 2021. On February 6, 2018, SpaceX launched a rocket to orbit Mars, more than 220 million km from Earth, and NASA selected two astronauts to join the first manned Dragon mission performed by SpaceX. . Watch the video of SpaceX’s Starship rocket being launched and successfully landed for the first time on May 5, 2021 (Source: SpaceX): SpaceX has also begun sending a series of 60 satellites into space to help form its Starlink network. Mr. Musk hopes the program will build a network of interconnected satellites around the Earth, thereby providing free Internet to everyone around the world. Meanwhile, billionaire Richard Branson and Virgin Galactic are taking a different approach to conquering space. Virgin Galactic has repeatedly performed successful test flights of the Unity spacecraft. The first time took place in December 2018 and the last time took place on February 22 this year. More than 600 wealthy clients to date, including celebrities like Brad Pitt and Katy Perry, have booked $250,000 for one of Virgin’s spacewalks. Richard Branson introduces SpaceShipTwo, a spaceship with room for six passengers and two pilots. Photo: Reuters Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo can carry six passengers and two pilots. Each passenger has a seat with two large windows – one on the side and one above. Passengers will become “astronauts” when they reach the Karman line, the boundary of Earth’s atmosphere. The spacecraft will then make a sub-orbital journey with about six minutes of weightlessness. The whole flight took about 1.5 hours.

Coral reefs in the sea area of ​​Phan Rang-Thap Cham city. (Photo: Nguyen Thanh/VNA) Ninh Thuan waters have high biodiversity with hundreds of marine species of economic and conservation value. For sustainable development, the preservation of biodiversity and rational exploitation of resources from the sea has been identified by Ninh Thuan province as one of the priority tasks in the socio-economic development strategy. Rich in biodiversity potential Ninh Thuan has a coastline of more than 105km and a territorial sea of ​​over 18,000km2. According to the latest studies on biodiversity by the provincial Department of Natural Resources and Environment, in the waters of Ninh Thuan, coral reefs and the diversity of coral reef organisms are one of the most important components of the environment. Biodiversity most prominent. Scientists have recorded 6 coral reefs with an average coverage of about 42.6%. The coral reef has been identified with over 334 species belonging to 15 families, 59 varieties of reef-forming corals, of which 46 species have been newly recorded and added to the list of coral species in Vietnam. Coral reefs are home to many species of creatures, including coral reef fish with 147 species belonging to 81 genera, 32 families. Seagrass beds were also identified with 5 species distributed on the coastal bottom with an area of ​​about 341ha. Biodiversity of Ninh Thuan sea area is also shown in the record of 538 fish species, including 146 pelagic fish species, 392 benthic fish species, of which 68 fish species have high economic value. In addition, marine species include 45 species of mollusks, 24 species of crustaceans, 13 species of echinoderms, and 22 species of polychaetes. Notably, the waters of Nui Chua National Park – Ninh Thuan are currently one of the few rare areas on the mainland in Vietnam with a population of sea turtles spawning every year, including: green turtles, tortoiseshell turtles. Regeneration of aquatic resources With the potential of valuable ecosystems and biodiversity, the conservation of marine biodiversity has always been of special interest to Ninh Thuan province. Over the past time, functional branches of the province have cooperated with research institutes, universities, domestic and foreign organizations to implement many topics, projects and research programs on biodiversity. such as: upgrade database – GIS about Coral reef and coastal ecosystems; develop a program for periodic monitoring of coral reefs in Ninh Thuan; survey typical marine ecosystems in Ninh Hai and Thuan Nam districts; restore mangrove ecosystems in Nui Chua and Dam Nai sea areas to protect and create a development environment for marine species. In particular, Ninh Thuan province established a marine protected area in Nui Chua National Park with a total area of ​​7,352 hectares. Nui Chua marine conservation area includes strict protection zones, ecological restoration areas and development zones with the function of protecting endemic and rare marine species in order to regenerate aquatic resources, protect and enhance the biodiversity of local marine protected areas. Mr. Tran Van Tiep, Deputy Director of Nui Chua National Park Management Board, said that over the years, the park has coordinated with domestic and foreign scientific research units and organizations to investigate and evaluate the potential, develop data on marine resources and environment within the conservation area to serve as a basis for implementing projects on environmental protection and restoration of marine ecosystems. Currently, the Park is implementing synchronously many plans and solutions to effectively and sustainably protect sea turtle populations and their habitats and other endangered and rare aquatic species. Specifically, the Park builds and maintains strict protection zones for sea turtles at spawning grounds in the area; building a turtle conservation station, establishing volunteer groups to participate in protecting sea turtles; at the same time, build a marine life rescue area to receive, rescue, treat, raise and train turtles in captivity, catch, and ensure sufficient conditions for turtles to live on their own before being released into the environment. nature. Simultaneously, the Nui Chua National Park Management Board has promoted propaganda measures to raise awareness and knowledge of the community about the importance and value of marine biological resources. From there, creating consensus, support and active participation of local people in protecting the marine ecosystem and environment, Mr. Tran Van Tiep added. In order to protect, regenerate and develop aquatic resources, Ninh Thuan province has been implementing many measures to manage, propagate and organize fishing in the right season, using the correct net size as prescribed. exploit the right route, do not use toxic chemicals, explosives, electric pulses to exploit. At the same time, the province deducts a part of the local budget and mobilizes businesses to release millions of tiger shrimp and fingerlings into the sea to regenerate and supplement seafood resources. Particularly in 2021, Ninh Thuan has organized to release 700,000 tiger shrimp seed into the sea to regenerate aquatic resources for local waters. Improve efficiency of management and conservation Through the assessment, the conservation of marine biodiversity has been better protected by all levels and sectors, but like coastal localities in the country, Ninh Thuan’s marine biodiversity is currently under pressure. face many challenges. It is the decline of biodiversity and fishery resources, aquaculture activities, and waste that make some marine areas at risk of pollution, climate change is causing pressures. significant contribution to the conservation and development of local marine biodiversity. Seaweed covers a large coral reef in Phuoc Dinh commune (Thuan Nam district). (Photo: Nguyen Thanh/VNA) According to Chairman of the People’s Committee of Ninh Thuan province, Tran Quoc Nam, identifying biodiversity resources in general, especially marine biodiversity resources, is of great significance to socio-economic development. Every year, Ninh Thuan integrates the task of environmental protection and biodiversity conservation into the province’s general socio-economic development plan. In order to improve the efficiency of biodiversity management and conservation, the Provincial People’s Committee assigned the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to coordinate with agencies and units to periodically observe, analyze and evaluate the current state of the environment. annually and once every 5 years to create initiative for the development of orientations on environmental protection policies in the whole province. Regarding biodiversity conservation in general, marine biodiversity conservation in particular, in the coming time, Ninh Thuan will continue to develop mechanisms and policies to attract resources from the central and local governments. implementation of investment programs and projects in order to improve the operational efficiency of marine protected areas. The province promotes scientific research, basic investigation of marine resources and environment; focus on biodiversity conservation, restoration of Ecosystem , especially coral reefs, seagrass beds, mangroves, coastal protection forests. At the same time, Ninh Thuan improves its capacity to respond to marine environmental incidents, actively propagates people living in coastal areas not to discharge domestic waste and plastic waste into the sea, actively collect clean the marine environment to prevent and minimize risk factors that may affect the development of marine organisms.

Around the world, unsafe recycling of lead batteries (mainly from cars) is widespread. Perry Gottesfeld of Occupational Knowledge International (a San Francisco-based organization that campaigns worldwide against industrial pollution) called lead pollution “the most serious health threat to children”. In Senegal, 18 children died within three months of cerebral palsy caused by lead poisoning from a battery recycling plant on the outskirts of Dakar. In addition to those 18 children, hundreds more children in the residential area were poisoned. A person cooks lead manually in the Pesarean (Indonesia). Image source: Pure Earth On the other side of California, a giant lead smelter is located in the city of Torreon (Mexico), which has a history of childhood blood poisoning in the neighborhood and stretches back half a century. Air, soil and water pollution has long been documented around small and large lead smelting and recycling plants. Doctors all know that lead can be easily inhaled or swallowed, and when it enters the bloodstream, lead dust will immediately travel from the digestive tract to the brain. On the other hand, it should be known that lead is a potent neurotoxin and at no level has ever been deemed safe. Besides causing fever and affecting the gastrointestinal tract, lead poisoning also damages intellectual development in young children even at a low dose, reduces intelligence quotient (IQ), loss of attention. , and emotional disorders. Workers disintegrate car batteries in preparation for lead recycling in Patna, India. Image source: Pure Earth Lead poisoning is also believed to be the cause of outbreaks of violent behavior in communities in the United States and around the world. The UNICEF report noted: Lead wreaks havoc on the body in a silent way. One-third of children worldwide are suffering from lead poisoning from recycled batteries and other sources. Fatty profits but a danger to human health An estimated 85% of the lead used today is in batteries, mainly used in cars. And when the battery runs out, 99% of the expired battery will be recycled to create a new battery. The recycling battery business is very lucrative, this is a money-making business. Tens of thousands of people breaking batteries and smelters around the world are looking for ways to monetize it, collecting an abundance of used batteries and turning them into brand-new products. According to the International Lead Association, in London: “More than 6 million tons of lead are collected each year. Lead batteries are the most recycled consumer product in the world, thanks to recycling they no longer have to be mined.” Because of very little regulation, in many countries around the world, small-scale operators compete with the legal battery industry. “Total half of all batteries are in the informal economy, where unregulated and often illegal recycling processes have broken battery cases, spilling lead acid and dust into the ground. Lead smelting in open-air furnaces has spewed toxic fumes and dust around residential areas,” according to a report published in June 2020 by Pure Earth and UNICEF. With the rapid development of African economies, more than 800,000 tons of lead leach out of batteries each year on the subcontinent. And the consequences for human health and the environment have already begun to emerge. Two years ago, Mr. Gottesfeld completed research showing that lead poisoning had spread to the land around battery recycling plants in crowded slums or near schools in cities such as Dar es. Salaam (Tanzania), Lagos (Nigeria) and the port of Tema (Ghana). Lead contaminated soil is excavated in Dong Mai ward (Hanoi, Vietnam). Image source: Pure Earth In addition to Africa facing serious lead poisoning problems, Southeast Asia is also facing a similar crisis. Mr. Bill Daniell (School of Public Health, University of Washington) is the lead author of a 2015 study on lead exposure around Dong Mai ward (Ha Dong district, Hanoi), where many households are engaged in recycling. battery processing. More than 100 children in Dong Mai were tested and all showed high blood lead levels of more than ¼/45 micrograms/decilit, which is nine times the safe limit in the US. In India, a study published in 2019 by Toxics Link (an NGO based in New Delhi) announced that 90% of lead batteries in India in recycling plants are in the informal sector. awake. The study mapped residential areas in major cities like New Delhi, where lead-battery recycling plants operate without any official supervision. Nguyen Thanh Hai ( According to e360.yale.edu )

From April to now, Alpha has become the dominant strain in the US. Alpha’s superiority made scientists wonder why this virus strain spread so quickly. Recently, a study published online on June 7 was New York Times The quote has found the “secret of success” of this mutation: Alpha disables the first immune “stronghold” gland in the human body, giving the virus more time to multiply when it enters the body. up quickly. The Alpha mutation once made the UK crippled. Photo: Reuters. “Turn off the bell” alert Alpha has a total of 23 mutations – what sets it apart from other coronavirus strains. When this strain began to spread widely in the UK, researchers began examining the genetic sequence to look for an explanation of why it spread faster than other strains. Many researchers focused on nine mutations that change the proteins that coat the coronavirus and allow them to enter cells. One of those mutations helps the virus bind more closely to these cells, increasing the likelihood of successful infection. But other scientists focus on how Alpha affects the human immune response. Virologist Gregory Towers and colleagues at University College London cultured the coronavirus in human lung cells. They compared cells infected with Alpha with those infected with previous variants of the coronavirus. The team found that alpha-containing lung cells produced less interferon. Interferon is a protein produced naturally by cells in the immune system. They also found that in cells with Alpha, defense genes activated by interferon were less effective than in cells infected with other strains. Somehow, the most important “alarm bell” of the immune system barely “sounds” in the presence of the Alpha variant. “It becomes almost invisible (when it enters the human body),” Dr. Towers said. The UK has to impose strict restrictions because the strain B.1.1.7 spreads quickly. Photo: LBC. To find out how Alpha achieves this “invisibility,” the researchers looked at how the coronavirus replicates inside infected cells. They found that Alpha-infected cells made a lot of extra copies – about 80 times more than other variants – of a gene called Orf9b. According to previous research by molecular biologist Nevan Krogan and colleagues at the University of California, San Francisco, Orf9b makes a viral protein that attacks Tom70 — a protein needed to release interferon when the virus enters the body. body. From all of these studies, Dr. Krogan concluded that the Alpha variant contained a mutation that produced more Orf9b protein than normal. The Orf9b protein surrounds the Tom70 protein, reducing interferon production. The infected virus is no longer hindered by the immune system, so it rapidly multiplies in the human body. About 12 hours after infection, the immune system starts working again. Therefore, Dr. Towers speculates, people infected with Alpha have a stronger response than those infected with other strains. The virus-laden mucus lingers in both their oral and nasal cavities, making Alpha more contagious than ever. However, Dr. Laurent-Rolle insists more evidence is needed to support this conclusion. For example, scientists have not yet run a standard test to test the amount of the Orf9b protein. Dr. Krogan said he and his colleagues are looking to practice that experiment now. Totally different Dr. Krogan’s group also started similar tests on other strains, including the strain first identified in South Africa, called Beta (B.1.351) and the first identified strain. first in India, called Delta (B.1.617.2). The preliminary results surprised them. Both Beta and Delta reduce interferon in infected cells. But there is no indication that these two strains did so in the same way that Alpha did. Each strain evolved in a different way to control the immune system. Virus mutant particles B.1.1.7 from patient samples in the laboratory. Photo: NIAID. Cecile King, an immunologist at the Garvan Institute for Medical Research in Sydney, Australia, stressed that understanding how the virus evades the immune system will help in the development of a Covid-19 vaccine. Vaccines now help the immune system recognize mutated proteins. But research on patients recovering from Covid-19 shows that their immune systems learn to recognize viral proteins, including Orf9b. Some researchers are looking to include the coronavirus protein in a new vaccine. But this process needs care because some proteins reduce immunity. “It’s a pretty complicated process. But if we take a closer look, it might be possible,” Dr. King said.

Recently, the beaches in Turkey appeared a patch of mucus (sea snot), which is increasingly spreading over the water. The widespread mucus layer on the Turkish coast causes serious damage to the country’s marine life and fishermen. (Source: Reuters) Sea snot is a green mud that is formed naturally when algae are over-nutriented due to hot weather and polluted water environment. The phenomenon was first detected in Turkey in 2007 and then in the Aegean Sea near Greece. The latest outbreak in the Sea of ​​Marmara near Istanbul is believed to be the largest in history. (Source: Reuters) Experts believe that the large amount of mucus that has appeared recently is due to a combination of environmental pollution and global warming, which accelerates the growth of algae that cause the slime. Meanwhile, President Erdogan said that the problem of untreated sewage being discharged directly into the sea was the cause of this outbreak of marine mucus. (Source: Reuters) When algae grow out of control in the spring, as we’ve seen this year, they block sunlight and cause declines, says biology professor at Istanbul University Muharrem Balci. oxygen for fish and marine life. (Source: Reuters) This mucous membrane covers the sea surface like a canvas. After a while, they sink, covering the seabed ecosystem and harming many species of creatures. When this process is over, they will appear to smell like a spoiled egg. This phenomenon can cause poisoning to sea clams and creatures such as crabs. (Source: Reuters) Professor Bayram Ozturk of the Turkish Marine Research Agency said that due to the overgrowth of the mucus layer, several species are endangered, including oysters, mussels and starfish. “This is a real disaster,” he said. (Source: Reuters) According to environmental engineer Cevahir Efe Akcelik, mucus could cover the sea during the summer if authorities do not take urgent measures. Studies show that mucus stays not only on the surface but also at depths between 25-30 meters. (Source: Reuters) Divers report that large numbers of fish and other species in the affected area are being wiped out by suffocation. This phenomenon has a significant impact on the lives of fishermen. Boats passing through the Sea of ​​Marmara had to navigate through the gray mud, while some fishermen were unable to fish because the mud clogs their engines and nets. (Source: Reuters) Mehmet Soyolcu (43 years old), a fourth generation fisherman in the Sea of ​​Marmara, said that in the past, it took two hours to pull a fishing net at sea, but now it takes ten hours, not counting the cost of fuel. materials and other operating costs. Every day, the operating costs are getting higher and higher, and the fish are less and less. (Source: Reuters) Some fishermen will raise prices to cover their losses, but that won’t help either because people fear the seawater might contaminate the fish in Marmara. At the fish market, more and more customers avoid buying fish and seafood since information about the mucus layer appeared. This makes the fishermen lose income from fishing, life becomes more difficult. (Source: Reuters) Istanbul, Turkey’s largest city with about 16 million inhabitants, and five other provinces, factories and industrial centers border the sea. As a result, this outbreak has had a severe impact on the ecosystem and fisheries in the region. (Source: Reuters) The Sea of ​​Marmara is a sea that stretches 281 km from the Northeast to the Southwest and is 80 km wide at its widest. This sea is connected to the Black Sea through the Bosphorus, also known as the Istanbul Strait in the Northeast. President Erdogan fears the problem will be very serious if the mucus spreads to the Black Sea. (Source: Reuters) The Turkish government has deployed a team of experts to examine the source of pollution in the sea. Workers are now trying to use nets to remove mucus, but their efforts have so far been largely ineffective.

Apollo 11 astronauts in spacesuits set foot on the Moon for the first time. Photo: NASA Hollywood films often draw attention with the iconic spacesuit, the design of which makes the public believe that it is a costume that can be taken off within minutes. But in fact, the spacesuit is a “spaceship” with its own full function, requiring the wearer to take off or take off with the help of colleagues. Cathleen Lewis, curator of international space programs and spacesuits at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum, said: “The purpose of the spacesuit essentially exists as a humanoid spacecraft, allowing astronauts to autonomously explore and do meaningful work outside of spacecraft or space stations.” Ms. Lewis said it can take up to four hours for an astronaut to get dressed, from start to finish. Before going to space, astronauts must check each piece of equipment and make sure they have enough essential supplies, such as oxygen and water. During the spacewalk, they will be supported by a team from Earth. Watch Apollo astronauts in spacesuits fall up and down in zero gravity on the Moon (source: NASA) Sarah Korona, extraterrestrial flight control specialist at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston (Texas), said: Flight controllers must adhere to a plan of procedures about 30 pages long, but still have other plans if problems arise. The “anatomy” of a space suit According to NASA, a spacesuit is made up of 6 different components and can have up to 16 layers.
Astronauts on the Artemis missions, NASA’s next program to send the first woman and first black man to the Moon, will wear the latest spacesuit, called the Visitor Mover. alien probe, abbreviated as xEMU. Before the spacesuits reach the Moon, their components will be tested on the International Space Station (ISS). NASA unveiled a prototype of the xEMU suit in 2019 at the agency’s headquarters in Washington. Photo: NASA One of the key components of the new spacesuit is the cooling fiber, said Richard Rhodes, vice president of xEMU pressurized garment development at NASA. The suit is made of tubes that help circulate water around the astronauts, regulating their body temperature and removing excess heat as they complete their work. According to NASA, each spacesuit has a portable life support system, which includes a water tank to cool the clothes, a carbon dioxide removal system, and other components, including a two-way radio for astronauts to communicate. Previous spacesuits used in the Apollo missions were less flexible than those used today. “When the Apollo astronauts walked on the Moon, they couldn’t bend down and pick up a rock,” said NASA astronaut Mike Fincke. They had to have a particularly compact tool with a handle mounted on it.” The space suit of astronaut Neil Armstrong during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. Photo: NASA But the spacesuit has come a long way since then and has a more flexible construction, with active support gloves. According to Ms. Lewis, gloves are one of the most complicated parts of a spacesuit, and they are often the source of most complaints from astronauts about their suits. “Gloves are difficult to design to both protect and allow astronauts to demonstrate manual dexterity to get the job done,” the expert notes. Pressure gloves can also contract, especially after long hours in space. The astronaut’s fingers are also cold, so heating elements need to be built into the glove. Gloves are an important part of the spacesuit that NASA designed for the mission back to the Moon. Photo: NASA When astronauts train for space flight, one of their training exercises includes picking up a coin in a spacesuit while underwater, Ms. Lewis said. These explorers need extreme dexterity when working in space, and gloves are a big challenge. Much of astronaut spacesuit training is conducted in a swimming pool at NASA’s Laboratory in Houston. Water simulates the feeling of weightlessness, similar to the feeling in space. To develop the spacesuit, scientists have experimented with a variety of materials and with varying degrees of success over the years. At one point, researchers experimented with Kevlar fingertips (a fiber five times stronger than steel) on gloves. “The Kevlar material is very useful in blocking bullets but not very good at stopping knives – it is very easy to cut,” Ms. Lewis said. Astronauts currently use synthetic plastic gloves, but scientists are always looking for better options. In addition, the outside of the spacesuit has color stripes specific to each suit. Here’s how astronauts can tell who’s wearing which suit while in space. Crafting the Artemis . space suit The first step in designing a spacesuit is “understanding who you’re designing the suit for, what you want them to be able to do, and where you want them to be able to,” says Rhodes. For the Artemis program, NASA needed their astronauts to be able to safely explore the Moon’s surface. Prototype of new spacesuit, xEMU, by NASA. Photo: NASA Over the past four years, NASA has invested more than $300 million in the development of the xEMU suit. Richard Rhodes’ team tested dozens of ingredients and weighed the pros and cons of each. He said the biggest challenge for the Artemis suits was making sure they were optimized for exploration of the Moon. The suits needed to be “light enough to support a mission to the Moon and sturdy enough to protect astronauts when working in very dangerous environments”. According to Rhodes, there are thousands of parts produced to make the Artemis spacesuit, and they are sourced from all over the United States. Some parts can take up to a year to build, but NASA is working to shorten the time. Space suits will also be upgraded for the latest Moon mission. Current and past NASA spacesuits allow only minimal movement of the waist, hips, or ankles. Artemis astronauts need to have extra mobility. to be able to explore the rough terrain of the Moon, so Mr. Rhodes’ team is working on a suit that allows for more movement while still being sturdy enough to protect the wearer.

1. Which river is the hottest in the world? Icon Boiling River Icon Congo River Icon Nile River The correct answer is answer A: According to the Telegraph, the Boiling River, located deep in the Amazon rainforest, is the hottest river in the world. Locals call the river “Shanay-timpishka”, which means “boiling with the heat of the Sun”. The Boiling River is about 25 m wide and 6 m deep but only extends for about 6.4 km. The river water temperature always fluctuates from 50 to 90 degrees Celsius, sometimes up to 100 degrees, enough to cause anyone who touches it even for a few seconds to get 3rd degree burns. 2. In which country is the Boiling River located? Icon Colombia Icon Peru Icon Ecuador The correct answer is answer B: Peru, officially the Republic of Peru, is located in South America, bordered to the north by Ecuador and Colombia, to the east by Brazil, to the southeast by Bolivia, to the south by Chile and to the west by Peru. is the Pacific Ocean. The national area is about 1,285,000 square kilometers, the population is more than 32.6 million, the capital is Lima. In 2011, scientist Andrés Ruzo witnessed this river with his own eyes. Mirror reports that Mr. Ruzo has heard from him about Shanay-timpishka since he was 12 years old. According to what is said, the river was discovered by the Spaniards when they were deep in the forest looking for gold. Some of the people on the way back said that this land was dangerous, filled with poisonous water, man-eating snakes, hunger and thirst, disease, a river boiling from the bottom. He was later told by his aunt that he had seen the river. Originally studying for a PhD in geology at Southern Methodist University, Ruzo was really curious about this river. He consulted with colleagues at school, oil, gas and mining companies, all suggesting that the river is not real because the boiling rivers and lakes in the world often have a relationship with volcanoes. While the Amazon has almost no sign of any volcanoes. Despite all the disproved theories, Ruzo still decided to go deep into the forest and track down the location of the river that had cured the Ashaninka people in Mayantuyacu. The boiling river seemed to be out of the world, but Ruzo discovered it. He wrote a book about this river in 2016 called The Boiling River, Adventure and Discovery in the Amazon (roughly translated as Boiling River, adventure and discovery in the Amazon jungle) in the hope that the book will draw public attention to the real natural wonder and care to protect it against the growing threat from illegal logging. 3. Where is the hottest place on Earth with the temperature like walking on a baking pan? Icon Dasht-e Lut . Desert Icon Sahara Desert Icon Kalahari Desert The correct answer is answer A: According to Oddity Central (UK), the Dasht-e Lut desert, Persian for “empty plain”, is a large salt desert. Scientists believe that this desert region known as the “fire pan” of the Earth was formed on the seabed. Millions of years ago, the tectonic change of the sea floor rose, the water also gradually evaporated due to the increased temperature. Today, Dasht-e Lut becomes a barren land with an area of ​​​​about 51,800 km, surrounded by mountains on all sides. This prevented moist air from the Mediterranean and Arabian Seas from entering the desert, contributing to the record-breaking temperatures. The medium-resolution imaging spectrometer installed on NASA’s Aqua satellite conducted global surveys between 2003 and 2010. Collected data Data collected shows that the highest temperature ever recorded in Dasht-e Lut was 70.7 degrees Celsius in 2005. According to satellite data, this Iranian desert has the highest annual temperature in 5-7. 4. Which of the following lakes boil all year round? Icon Lake in the island of Dominica, Caribbean Icon Lake Kivu, Rwanda, Africa Icon Lake Karachay, Russia The correct answer is answer A: This is a boiling lake, located in the national park of the island of Dominica, Caribbean. This lake is 61m wide, 59m deep, the water is grayish blue. The temperature at the edge of this lake reaches about 82-92 degrees Celsius, the lake surface is often covered with a layer of white mist. Many people are curious why this lake is boiling all year round. The reason is that at the bottom of the lake there is a fountain, it can spray out many different gases such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide… These gases can create bubbles up to 2-3m high, looks like the lake is boiling. In fact, the most terrible thing about this lake is not the temperature but the toxic gas. The plants and animals around the lake were greatly affected. Most of the factories have gone bankrupt and the surrounding area is uninhabited. 5. Which of the following lakes is likened to an “invisible killer lake”? Icon Lake Kivu, Rwanda, Africa Icon Blue Lagoon, Iceland Icon Lake Karachay, Russia The correct answer is answer C: This lake looks beautiful from afar, but there isn’t any living creature inside. The lake looks very peaceful, quiet, looks like an ordinary lake, even more beautiful when the water is very clear, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds on the lake surface. The lake is only beautiful when viewed from a distance because the lake is full of poison underneath. If you stand near the lake for 1 hour, people will die of poisoning. Therefore, this lake is also known as “the invisible killer lake”. 6. Where is the hottest place on earth where human life exists? Icon Dallol Icon Valley of Death Icon Death Valley The correct answer is A: Dallol is the hottest place on earth, but still inhabited by the Afar people, a nomadic tribe living in portable huts. Dallol is located in the Danakil Desert Basin, a remote area in northern Ethiopia, bordering Eritrea. This is a very remote and least explored place in the world. In addition to the heat from the sun, Dallol is also subjected to heat from hot sulfur and lava lakes, making the average annual temperature here always at 34.4 degrees Celsius. 7. Where is the hottest surface temperature on Earth? Icon Dead valley Icon Lut Desert The correct answer is answer B: New research into the highest surface temperatures on Earth reveals that the Lut Desert in Iran and the Sonoran Desert in North America are hotter than Death Valley in the US. The Lut Desert holds the top spot for the world’s highest ground temperature. From 2002 to 2019, this sandy area regularly hit the highest temperature threshold, likely due to its location among the mountains, causing hot air to be trapped above the dunes, especially in areas including covered with black volcanic rock. The new findings are in line with research published in 2011 that concluded the Lut desert is one of the hottest spots on Earth. From 2004 to 2007 and 2009, the Lut Desert experienced the highest surface temperature on the planet. In 2005, preliminary data showed that the area had a temperature of up to 70.7 degrees Celsius, although the new study authors say the estimate is likely to be lower than reality. From that initial analysis, NASA announced a new version of satellite software, allowing for more accurate determination of the ground temperature on Earth. Using the updated version, the researchers were able to conclude that the temperature in the Lut Desert was in fact 10 degrees higher than previously thought. The Sonoran Desert, which lies on the border between the United States and Mexico, is similarly hot, although not as hot as the Lut desert often. The desert’s low altitude means the air is less likely to rise and cool. Result Please work harder! point

The researchers tested graphene’s ballistic missile defense by firing small projectiles at it. They found that the material was stiffer, more flexible and lighter than the Kevlar jackets used in the military today. And, a million layers of material would be only 1mm thick. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Soldier Nanotechnology Institute is working on an efficient manufacturing method for a graphene-based chainmail bulletproof armor, which could potentially give the military better protection than with today’s bulky coats. Chainmail (or mail or Maille) is armor made of metal rings joined together in a protective mesh pattern. Can be used for marines, especially those who have to work in harsh environments, bulletproof and protect against the risk of attack by wild animals when doing special missions. 2. Synthetic blood Synthetic blood is much more efficient than natural cells. The most promising technology being studied is a respirator – a theoretical red blood cell made of diamond that can hold gas at nearly 15,000 psi and exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen in the same way real blood cells. Supersoldiers whose breathing cells are mixed with their natural blood will essentially have trillions of miniature gas cylinders inside their bodies, which means they’ll never run out of breath and can stay under. water for hours without any other support equipment. 3. Jump 7 feet (2.13 meters) and run 25 mph (40.23km/h) Scientists at MIT and other research universities are looking to strengthen the human ankle and Achilles tendon with bio-boots that mimic the tendons of kangaroos. Humans equipped with such boots would be able to jump 7 feet (2.13 meters) or more, sprinting at incredible speeds. And run all day without muscle wear and tear. Bulletproof armor. 4. Vaccinations for pain relief DARPA’s Combat Persistence Initiative (short for Defense Advanced Projects Agency of the Pentagon, USA) aims to help soldiers recover almost immediately from injuries. The pain-relieving shot will work for 30 days and eliminate the painful inflammation that persists after the injury. So soldiers could feel the initial agony of being hit by a bullet, but the pain would disappear within seconds. Soldiers can self-medicate and continue fighting until medical evacuation. 5. Fight against sleep Not all animals sleep the same way. DARPA wanted to find a way to let humans sleep with only half of their brains at a time like whales and dolphins, or even skip sleep for long periods like ENU mice. 6. Telepathy Not all brain implants look very comfortable. US Patent Application Richard A. Normann. Part of DARPA’s “Brain Machine Interface” project is to develop better computer chips that can connect directly to the human brain via implants. In addition to allowing soldiers to control robots with just their thoughts, this will allow teams to communicate via telepathy. While the chips have improved, the project has some detractors. Part of the research is the ability to control mice remotely via implanted chips, and some defense scientists worry about the risk of the military having its mind hacked. For example, the movie “Men Who Stare Goats” is based on a book by Jon Ronson about a secret unit created by the US military in 1979. According to the book, the US military believes soldiers can become invisible, go through walls and kill goats by staring at them. Actor Ewan McGregor plays a reporter who stumbles across a member of that special unit as he prepares to go to Iraq, and the reporter and Lyn Cassady – Clooney’s character – continue the unfortunate journey : they were kidnapped, shot and hit by a roadside bomb… 7. Power-assisted underwear Meanwhile, Harvard researchers studied the “soft exoskeleton”. It’s a DARPA-funded robotic suit that’s essentially a series of fabric muscles worn under a garment to assist the wearer in every step or movement. This reduces fatigue and increases strength without requiring the enormous amount of strength that tough exoskeletons require. Gloves and climbing shoes like geckos. 8. Gloves and climbing shoes like geckos Geckos use the tiny hairs on their legs to cling to surfaces on a molecular level. Although the “Z-Man” project does not necessarily give humans the ability to crawl along the ceiling like a gecko, special climbing shoes and gloves will allow soldiers to easily climb the amazing rock face. against or onto skyscrapers without any other equipment, greatly reducing overhead attack. Researchers have made breakthroughs and can actually support a man weighing up to 90.71kg with current prototypes. Experts note that in the civilian field, work on nerve transplants for humans is happening very quickly. In 2017, Elon Musk unveiled a pig named Gertrude with a coin-sized computer chip in his brain, to demonstrate his ambitious plan to create an interface between the brain and the machine.

Soviet Arctic explorer at station NP-8. Photo: Sputnik Searching for a Soviet research station The research station NP-8 was only used by Soviet Arctic explorers until the time the ice sheet began to split. At that time, the scientists could have been urgently evacuated and this abandoned research station continued to float in the ocean until it was destroyed. In the early 1960s, the CIA and the Office of Naval Research under the US Department of the Navy conducted a “hunt” for abandoned Soviet research stations. It is said that the Soviet Union installed American submarine sound detectors there. Initially, the target was station NP-9, detected by a reconnaissance aircraft in May 1961. However, the operation was delayed and the research station was located too far in the waters of the Arctic Ocean. Station NP-9. Photo: Sputnik In the spring of 1962, about 970km from the Canadian Air Force base at Resolute Bay, another abandoned and floating research station – station NP-8 – was accidentally discovered. This is an opportunity America cannot afford to miss. Plan “Skyhook” Considering the fact that an icebreaker can’t make it through the dense ice in the area, a helicopter won’t be able to reach NP-8’s location and the plane’s landing on icebergs Floating is also too dangerous. So the US decided to drop the agents there by parachute. But the question then is how to bring those people back [máy bay]. In the end, the US decided to use the evacuation system that the CIA used in hostile lands, also known as the “Skyhook” – developed in the late 1950s. The plan required a balloon. Helium-inflated small, a 150-meter lift and a low-flying aircraft. When the balloon rises to the required height, agents “tethered” to the balloon by lifting ropes will wait on the ground. The approaching aircraft will use a special scraper or “horn” to pull the rope while releasing the balloon. The lifting rope is then automatically wound into the winch, lifting the agent onto the plane. What happened on the iceberg? Major James Smith, an experienced paratrooper and fluent Russian, and his colleague Captain Leonard A. LeSchack, an expert in submarine surveillance systems, had three days to review everything at the research station. . A few boxes of essential equipment were dropped onto the iceberg with the agents. American B-17 bomber. Photo: Uli Elch (CC BY-SA 4.0) As the US predicted, the Soviet scientists left NP-8 station in a hurry without having time to bring all the equipment. Agents discovered more than 80 documents, collected debris from equipment left behind by the Soviet Union, took about 100 photos. By the time the plane returned to pick them up, the weather in the research station area had turned severely bad. Visibility is reduced and wind is very strong. “I was immediately in a situation that one would imagine was flying into space,” recalls Connie W. Seigrist, the pilot of the plane that arrived to pick up the agents. The “trophies” collected by the agents were easily loaded onto the plane using the Skyhook without any problems, but getting the agents on board was a difficult task. The wind caused LeSchack to be dragged nearly 100 meters until the agent tried to cling to a block of ice. Even after the plane picked up the lifting rope, LeSchack still spent up to 10 minutes “hanging” in the air in cold weather before boarding. After seeing what happened to his colleague, Smith released his balloon and held on to a Soviet tractor left beside the research station for as long as possible. In the end, Smith was lifted without any particular difficulty. “Enjoy your time. This is the first time I’ve been able to relax in about a week,” Smith joked to the pilots after being loaded onto the plane. As a result of Operation Coldfeet, the Americans discovered that the Soviet Union had made significant advances in the field of polar meteorology and polar oceanography. In addition, the US also obtained evidence that the Soviet Union used sonar equipment of US submarines in the Arctic. “Overall, the Soviet Union’s remarkable achievements in drifting stations show that they have a long experience in this field and that these research stations themselves are also very important to the Soviet government.” , the commander of the operation, Colonel John Cadwalader said.

The world’s major media outlets are simultaneously reporting on the elephants’ more than 500km journey from their habitat in the southwestern mountains of Yunnan to the outskirts of Kunming city. The elephants were filmed on the outskirts of Kunming city. Photo: AP. Rising star Over the past few days, elephants have become famous on China’s Weibo social network. Pictures of sleeping elephants attracted 25,000 posts and 200 million views on the evening of June 7. On Twitter and YouTube, users share cute videos of the elephants, especially the image of two young in the herd slipping into an irrigation ditch and needing the help of two adult elephants. AP . “We should be like these elephants, more family-oriented, take families on vacation, help, care for and protect each other,” said a YouTube comment by the account MrDeterministicchaos. The elephants were monitored via street security cameras as well as dozens of aerial recording drones. The elephants’ journey went unnoticed until May 24, when they entered Ngashan County, Yunnan Province, and caused a stir in the densely populated district. Elephants enter people’s houses, eat corn and other crops. One baby elephant even got drunk after entering the winery. The elephants have scoured some houses and fields. Photo: AP. Herds of elephants scour many farms for food and water. The elephants also went into a car dealership, even “visiting” a nursing home. They poked their trunks in through the window, causing a man to hide under the bed to avoid scaring the elephants. To date, the elephant herd has not caused any damage to people or livestock. However, crop damage is said to be more than $1 million. When they left their home in the mountains of southwestern Yunnan province, the herd numbered 16. However, authorities said the two children had returned. During the migration, a mother elephant gave birth to a young. The elephant herd now consists of 6 males and 3 adult females, 3 young individuals and 3 newborns. It is not clear why the elephants roam The reason the elephants travel such long distances is still a mystery. However, the elephants seem to be particularly attracted to maize, fruit and tropical crops. Some say that the herd of elephants is lost from the leader of the herd. According to Nilanga Jayasinghe, director of the Asian animal conservation program at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Asian elephants are attached to their habitat. Elephants only leave when there are major disturbances, loss of resources, or a sharp increase in the number of individuals. “In this case, we really don’t know why they left their range. But we do know their habitat has been severely damaged by agriculture, which converts forests into arable land. in that area for the past few decades,” Ms. Jayasinghe said. The WWF expert said that it is likely that the elephants are looking for a new habitat, now they are lost and just keep moving. The reason why the elephants moved away from their original range is still a mystery. Photo: AP. Chinese authorities have actively taken action to avoid negative interactions, but they must soon determine “what to do next, as well as avoid creating conflicts between elephants and people”, Ms. Jayasinghe said. Elephants are one of the most heavily protected species in China, which has helped the country’s elephant population continue to grow steadily despite the continuous shrinking of its natural habitat. Chinese authorities ask people to exercise maximum restraint when encountering elephants. At the place where the elephants pass, people are asked to stay indoors, not to stare at the elephant, not to use fire or any other measures to scare the elephant away. To date, authorities have adopted a variety of passive measures to keep the elephants away from urban areas, such as parking trucks and construction equipment in roadblocks, as well as using food to lure the elephants. By June 8, the elephants were on the outskirts of Kunming city. One of the adult males is separating himself from the herd, which creates both excitement and concern for those who want to continue monitoring the herd. In a statement on June 7, the command center monitoring the elephants said the elephants appeared to be resting. Chinese authorities have mobilized 410 rapid response personnel, police, many motor vehicles, and 14 drones to monitor the elephant herd. People living in the area near where the elephants passed have been evacuated. Temporary traffic control measures have been implemented. Authorities also prepared 2 tons of food for the elephants. One of the goals now is “to keep quiet to create conditions to lead the elephants to migrate west and south,” the command center said. The Asian elephant is the largest land animal in Eurasia. The number of Asian elephant species living in the wild is generally declining, currently only about 50,000 individuals. Habitat destruction, illegal hunting, and anthropogenic impact are the biggest threats to elephant survival. Herd of elephants ‘march’ in the city in China A herd of elephants travels from a tropical forest in Yunnan province (China) into downtown Kunming. They went into a car store and broke into people’s houses to eat 200 kg of corn.

Why are airplane windows oval? In the early 1950s, the world’s first commercial jet was developed and manufactured by De Havilland. This is considered the miracle of the aviation industry. However, after a year of use, the plane fell to pieces right in the sky and within a few months, two more suffered the same fate. Engineers scrutinized the plane’s screws and discovered that the main cause was the square window. With this design, the pressure is higher at the door corners and increases significantly in flight. So the engineers decided to replace it with round or oval windows. Why do airplanes have curved wing tips? During a flight, the pressure on top of the wing is lower than the pressure under the wing. Air tends to shift from high pressure below the wing to low pressure above and around the wing tips. In the past, the wing tips were designed to be straight, causing the airflow to cause serious turbulence. Therefore, the scientists decided to bend the wing tip upwards to reduce turbulence, prolong the durability of the wing and save a lot of fuel during travel. Thanks to this feature, everyone will feel more comfortable during the flight. Why do airplane noses have different shapes? The nose of a military aircraft is pointed, the sharper the nose, the faster it flies. However, if the nose is too long, the pilot cannot see the runway correctly, which is why civil aircraft have round noses. Russian engineers solved this problem in the 1960s. The fastest passenger jet could tilt its nose. During takeoff and landing, the aircraft tilts its nose down and during flight the nose will be brought back to its original position. This strange design is intended to help pilots see the runway better. Why are airplanes painted white? Airplanes are almost always painted white. There are several reasons to explain this problem: Heat Reflection: A plane painted white will accumulate less heat. This is better for passengers and economically beneficial for airlines.
White paint is cheaper than other paints.
Prevent bird collisions: Birds can see reflections from white surfaces better, reducing the risk of collisions with aircraft.
White paint helps reveal small cracks and dents: The paint makes cracks easier to see, identifies problems early, avoids accidents, and makes damage easier to see. Why is the exit on the left? Not all but most aircraft have the main entrance on the left side. There is an explanation: The right side is for luggage (the cargo hatch is also on the right) so it is not safe for passengers.
Some say it’s an old tradition: The train ramp is always on the left.
The aircraft door is installed on the left side, which allows them to park the plane in the passenger area better and move more easily. Why are some planes oddly shaped? You must have heard of stealth aircraft. It has an odd shape to avoid detection by radar, sonar, infrared and other detection means, and to be able to carry more luggage with less fuel consumption. The shape of the plane is inspired by birds. Birds of prey use that shape to increase their range and be less visible. However, these aircraft are often too expensive to be used in civil aviation. How do airplanes look spacious? The designers use a number of tricks to make the plane look taller and more spacious than it actually is. For example, the walls have certain shapes to reflect light correctly. The illumination between the ceiling and the overhead bin makes the ceiling visually taller. Thanks to these tips, people with plane phobia will feel more comfortable. Why don’t pilots have beards? Some airlines ban pilots from growing beards. This is explained that, the beard can cause the oxygen mask to not fit tightly to the pilot’s face and work properly in an emergency situation. In particular, in that case, the pilots must always be alert to save the lives of passengers on the plane.

Speculation about the mysterious origin of the aurora has been around for a long time. But until now, unsubstantiated inferences have been clearly proven. The mystery has been revealed According to a new study published in the journal Nature, a team of physicists from the University of Iowa has finally demonstrated that the aurora is “generated by strong electromagnetic waves during geomagnetic storms.” The Northern Lights appear over a waterfall in Iceland. Photo: Getty Images. Research shows that these phenomena are known as Alfven waves, which launch electrons to Earth, causing the particles to produce a stream of light that scientists call the aurora borealis. “The measurements reveal that the small number of electrons undergo ‘resonant acceleration’ by the electric field of the Alfven wave, similar to a surfer catching a wave and continuing to accelerate while surfing with the wave,” said Deputy Professor Greg Howes, of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Iowa, is also a co-author of the study, said. The idea that electrons “surf” on an electromagnetic field is a hypothesis first introduced in 1946 by Russian physicist Lev Landau. The theory is named after the physicist who called it Landau damping. After more than 70 years, the Landau damping theory has been proven. Aurora re-creation After decades of research, scientists have understood how the aurora is produced, but only now have they been able to simulate these colorful bands of light. For the first time, artificial auroras have been recreated in the lab using large plasma physics equipment (LPD) at UCLA’s Basic Plasma Science Facility (BaPSF). Auroras observed from the International Space Station. Photo: NASA. According to the CNN , the scientists used a 20-meter-long room to reconstruct the Earth’s magnetic field using powerful magnetic coils on UCLA’s LPD instrument. Inside the room, the scientists created a plasma environment similar to what exists in near-Earth space. “Using a specially designed antenna, we project Alfven waves down the machine, just like when you quickly shake a water hose up and down and watch the waves move along the hose,” Mr Howes said. When they began to experience electrons “surfing” along the wave, they used other specialized instruments to assess how the electrons received energy from the wave. “Although the experiment did not reproduce the range of multicolored light in the sky, our measurements in the laboratory matched predictions from computer simulations and mathematical calculations, demonstrating that the Electrons surfing on Alfven waves can accelerate up to 72 million km / h and create aurora,” Mr Howes said. Study co-author Craig Kletzing added that these experiments allow them to make key measurements to prove the spatial and hypothetical measurements that actually explain how the aurora is produced. The aurora was taken in Alaska. Photo: Getty Images. Many space scientists are also excited by this new news. “I feel so excited! There are very few laboratory experiments that can prove hypotheses and models related to the space environment. Because space is so vast that it can’t be simulated in a lab,” said Patrick Koehn, a scientist in NASA’s Helicopter Physics Division. According to Koehn, understanding the acceleration mechanism of the electrons that produce the aurora will be useful for many future studies. Long road ahead Currently, the theory of how the aurora is generated has been proven, but there is still a long way to go to predict the strength of each upcoming storm. “Predicting the strength of a particular geomagnetic storm, based on observations of the Sun and measurements from spacecraft between the Earth and the Sun, remains a difficult unsolved problem.” Mr Howes said. Howes said they have established the bond of electrons surfing on Alfven waves about more than 16,000 km above the Earth’s surface.

A herd of elephants roams a distance of 500km. (Photo: THX) Already famous at home, a herd of wandering elephants in China suddenly became international stars when being recorded by major media around the world on a journey that lasted more than a year, with a distance 500km, from conservation area wildlife from the mountainous southwest of Yunnan province to the outskirts of Kunming province. After being published by the press, Twitter and YouTube were flooded with interesting clips of the elephants’ actions, especially the scene where two baby elephants slipped into a ditch and were picked up by older members of the herd. help. “We should live like elephants, always family-oriented, spend time resting with family and help, take care and protect each other,” an account named MrDeterministicchaos commented on YouTube. Pictures about herd of elephants has become a trend of interest in recent days on the Chinese social networking site Weibo. For example, photos of sleeping elephants have attracted 25,000 posts and 200 million views, as of the evening of June 7. This herd of 15 roaming elephants was spotted by security cameras. They go to many farms in search of food and water. They broke into a car shop and even broke into many other houses along the way. Although no human or animal damage has been reported, reports show that the elephant herd causes crop damage of more than 1 million USD. Initially when leaving the sanctuary, the elephant herd had 16 children. However, authorities said the two cubs returned to the forest and one mother gave birth to a baby elephant in the process. Therefore, the current elephant herd consists of 6 females and 3 adult males, 3 baby elephants and 3 newborns. There is still no answer as to the reason why the elephants made the trip Journeys so far away. They seem to be particularly attracted to corn, fruit, and tropical crops. There are some opinions that this herd may have been lost from the leader of the herd. According to Nilanga Jayasinghe, an Asian animal conservation expert at the World Wildlife Fund, Asian elephants are often loyal to Living area of them. They only leave when there is disturbance, loss of resources or a sharp increase in the number of individuals. “We really don’t know why they left the range. But we do know that the elephant herd’s habitat has been significantly damaged by agricultural practices and the conversion of forests into farmland over the past few decades. One possible case is that in the process of searching for a new habitat, this herd got lost and kept going,” Jayasinghe wrote in an email. Elephants are one of the priority protected species in China. This has helped the elephant population in China to steadily increase, even as their natural habitat is shrinking. The Chinese government also requires owners and people to exercise maximum restraint when encountering elephants. Specifically, when seeing elephants, people must stay indoors, do not stare at them and do not use firecrackers and other methods to scare them away, causing them to run away in fear. Interesting image of a herd of sleeping elephants. (Photo: THX) To date, many measures are being taken to prevent elephants from entering urban areas such as placing trucks and construction equipment in the road or using food as a lure. As of June 8, the herd was still on the outskirts of Kunming, a city of 7 million people. The fact that one of the males had separated himself from the herd created both excitement and concern for those trying to track down the herd. China has mobilized more than 410 emergency response personnel, police, multiple motor vehicles and 14 drones to monitor the elephant herd. People in the area near where the elephants operate have been evacuated. They also prepare 2 tons of food to provide for the elephants. The Asian elephant, the continent’s largest land animal, is generally in decline overall, with fewer than 50,000 individuals remaining in the wild. Habitat loss, illegal poaching, and human-wildlife conflict are the biggest threats to elephants’ survival.

In the past, all three planets were rocky planets, the surface of which was composed of solid metals and silicates. Among them, our Earth is the largest planet, the mass and radius of Venus is only about 82% and 95% of the Earth, respectively, the mass and radius of Mars only account for about 11% and 53% when compared to our planet. Over the past few decades, humans have launched many unmanned probes to Venus and Mars, and it turns out that the environments on these two planets are very harsh. Venus is too hot, and Mars is too cold, and there is no oxygen on either planet, so life on Earth could not exist in such an environment, and astronomers could not find it. see any other traces of life there. So, how were Venus and Mars 4 billion years ago? Why are Venus and Mars now barren, and only our planet is habitable? Calculated based on the radiant power of the sun, Venus and Mars also operate in the same habitable zone as Earth, which means they can receive just the right amount of solar radiation to water. on their surface can still be in a liquid state. Astronomers speculate based on current signs on Venus and Mars and surmise that there may have been an ocean of liquid water on both Venus and Mars 4 billion years ago. For the first few hundred million years, Venus was a warm and humid planet. In the primordial oceans of Venus, life was fully qualified to evolve. They could be carbon-based life like life on Earth or could be other life forms. However, Venus’s habitable period did not last long. Because Venus is so close to the sun, and the temperature of the sun gradually increases over time, making Venus hotter and hotter, and a large amount of liquid water has also been evaporated. At the same time, the volcanic activity on Venus is also gradually becoming more active and continuously releasing carbon dioxide, causing a strong greenhouse effect. Without oceans, carbon dioxide would not be neutralized. They enter the atmosphere and cause a severe greenhouse effect, which will increase the temperature on Venus. Meanwhile, on Earth, the oceans, plants and minerals absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide, so the Earth will not become too hot due to the strong greenhouse effect during that period. Eventually, Venus’ greenhouse effect was completely out of control, liquid water completely evaporated, and life could have been destroyed. According to data returned by the Venus probe, the current concentration of carbon dioxide in Venus’s atmosphere is as high as 96.5%, and the surface atmospheric pressure is 91 times higher than the Earth’s surface. Under the influence of this extreme greenhouse effect, Venus has essentially reached thermal equilibrium, and the average surface temperature is as high as 464 degrees Celsius. Although it is essentially impossible to have life on the surface of Venus today, some astronomers speculate that there may be some strange life in the atmosphere of Venus. In the sky high enough above the surface of Venus, the atmospheric pressure will be moderate, and the temperature will not be high, possibly for the synthesis of organic matter and the evolution of life. On the other hand, ancient Mars was probably also a habitable planet. Currently, on Mars there is a large amount of water-washed terrain, and there are some iron ores that can only be generated in the aquatic environment, which is strong evidence for the existence of a large amount of water. liquid water on ancient Mars. So, how did Mars become such a uninhabitable planet as it is? At present-day Mars’ North Pole, there is a giant basin whose surface is equivalent to two-fifths of the surface of Mars. This huge Arctic basin was formed by a massive collision. Studies have shown that about 3.9 billion years ago, a dwarf planet (about the size of Pluto) with a diameter of about 2,000 km collided with the north pole of Mars. This massive collision completely changed the core of Mars, causing activities inside Mars to quickly stop, and the Martian magnetic field also gradually weakened and finally almost disappeared. lost. Without the protection of the magnetic field, the solar wind gradually strengthens and melts the atmosphere of Mars, liquid water continues to evaporate, causing Mars to quickly become a barren land. Currently, there is almost no atmosphere on Mars, but there is still some water ice in the polar regions. In addition, there may be a seasonal amount of liquid water in some areas of Mars, which has a high salt content and may be temporarily liquid in the low-temperature Martian environment. At the moment, the temperature on Mars is very low, the average temperature is only -63 degrees Celsius. If humans want to settle on Mars in the future, the first thing to do is to strengthen the star’s magnetic field. Mars and produces large amounts of greenhouse gases to “heat” Mars and melt the solid water that exists on Mars. Mars is much smaller than Earth, so it would have cooled from its molten state at its inception faster than Earth, so liquid water on Mars may have appeared earlier, which could This means that life on Mars may have formed and evolved earlier than our planet. Therefore, there are conspiracy theories that, when celestial bodies collided with Mars, the rocks that were thrown into space by the collisions could have carried the germ of life on Mars into space, and then some someday fall to Earth, becoming the source of life on Earth. And perhaps by coincidence, life on Earth also began to form around the same time that Mars’ North Pole collided. From the point of view of time, this is consistent. In addition, astronomers have discovered traces of suspected life in meteorites on Mars that have fallen to Earth. Life on Earth may have originated on Mars, but this has so far required more convincing evidence. In the past, the Curiosity rover has detected some carbon-containing organic substances in the rocks on Mars, which may be evidence that ancient Mars once had a few living things. Even now, it is still possible for life on Mars, they did not go extinct billions of years ago, but moved into the Martian underground and developed a unique survival mechanism to adapt to the harsh environment. harsh on this planet. Compared to Venus and Mars, our planet is very lucky. For billions of years, Earth has always been a habitable planet, so hundreds of millions of species have appeared here. Our Earth is like a “chosen planet”, a moderate distance from the sun, with a magnetic field that can resist solar radiation so that all kinds of life can continue to multiply and develop. Although it cannot be ruled out that some planets in the solar system (such as Europa) also harbor life, the environments of those planets are very different from those of Earth, and most life on Earth is not ruled out. Soil cannot exist there. In the near future, Earth will still be the only planet inhabited by humans in the universe.

For the past four billion years, life on Earth has been endless. But now on Earth there are only nearly 10 million species of creatures, this number is only 1% of the total number of species that have ever lived on Earth, the remaining 99% has disappeared in the long river of the Earth. Although our planet is a vibrant planet, it is very difficult for any living species to survive long on Earth. Over time, the Earth’s climate will continue to change and some ancient species have been unable to adapt to this change, leading to extinction. In addition, life on Earth could also be threatened by deadly threats from space. For example, a gamma-ray burst from a supernova could destroy Earth’s atmosphere and cause deadly cosmic radiation to reach our planet’s surface. Most life on Earth wouldn’t be able to withstand this. 450 million years ago a supernova caused the first mass extinction of the space threat on Earth. On the other hand, the impact of a giant asteroid falling to Earth will also cause drastic changes in climate, disrupt the food chain and cause mass death for life on Earth. The fifth mass extinction 65 million years ago was probably also caused by an asteroid collision. In addition to the threat from space, on Earth there may be superbugs that humans can’t fight off. Humanity also possesses nuclear weapons capable of destroying all life on Earth. Although humanity has enough intelligence to create such a powerful weapon, it is not known if humanity is intelligent enough to not use nuclear bombs on a large scale. And also for various reasons, Hawking believes that in order to continue to exist, humanity must expand its habitat into space in the future. Only by taking precautions and leaving Earth before disaster strikes and colonizing other planets can humans better cope with unknown disasters. So which planets should humans migrate to? Is there a “Second Earth” in the universe? Proxima b’s host star is Proxima Centauri – part of a trio of strange stars that scientists are still studying. The other two stars are binary – meaning they orbit the same center of gravity and are collectively known as Alpha Centauri. Although this “Second Earth” has similar properties to the Earth – where we live, Proxima b is still a mysterious and alien world. In the solar system, although life can exist on some satellites, but apart from Earth, there are no planets suitable for human existence. To achieve the goal of space colonization, we can only look beyond the extent of the familiar solar system. Current statistics show that almost every solar system has planets, and there are hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way, so there should be multiple targets to choose from. People need to choose rocky planets that are in the habitable zone, because only when the distance between the planet and the sun is neither too close nor too far can liquid water exist on its surface. Proxima b exists right in the middle of the habitable zone of stars, where water could theoretically exist in liquid form. Compared to our sun, Proxima Centauri’s habitable zone is very close to its host star. Scientists once believed that red dwarf stars like Proxima could not exist on habitable planets that were orbiting so close. But now, scientists think red dwarfs might be the best place to look for other habitable planets. And recently, astronomers discovered that Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our solar system, has a planet called Proxima Centauri b. This planet is a rocky planet the size of Earth and it is also in a habitable zone. Although Proxima b is the closest exoplanet to the solar system at a distance of only 4.2 light-years, humans are currently not capable of flying to this planet. Even with today’s fastest spacecraft, if we want to set foot there, it will take us tens of thousands of years to fly to Proxima b. However, humanity has never backed down from difficulties, we have been able to cross the ocean, as well as cross the distant interstellar space to reach the strange world, so it is very possible in the future , people will set foot here.

Mr. Negi has personally turned the barren land in the cold desert of Himachal Pradesh into a green oasis. (Source: YouTube) In 1977, the Government of India began an ambitious program to reduce the negative effects of desertification in the hot and cold deserts of this Asian country. Mr. Anand Dhawaj Negi was working in the finance department in charge of the Desert Development Program at the time and had seen millions of dollars spent with no real results. Whenever he asked the scientists and program officials about the results, the answer was always that they lacked the technology to grow any sustainable crops in harsh environments. desert . The son of a farmer himself, Negi was tired of excuses and took a leave of absence in 1999 to fix the problem himself. In 2003, he decided to quit his job to focus all of his energy on his growing desert oasis. Mr. Negi has personally turned the barren land in the cold desert of Himachal Pradesh into a green oasis just for everyone, especially the farmer struggling in the region, seeing desert reclamation as entirely possible. It was not an easy thing to do, but the former official knew what he had to do and had the ambition and patience to get through it. Mr. Negi’s first attempt failed as the seeds did not have enough water to grow. He overcame this first challenge by planting by contour, tilling the soil along a consistent height to capture rainwater and reduce soil erosion. At the same time he works with the local community to create irrigation canal The shallows channel runoff from glaciers about 25km away. After witnessing this process, the local irrigation department also began to cooperate. “The irrigation department supplies water to this area. Before that, water was not provided until before June. I connected to the Kuhls area and managed to get a water supply in April and May. When we did, the Irrigation Department also cooperated and ensured a regular water supply here,” Mr. Negi told Down to Earth. But water is just one of the challenges this frigid desert region poses. Sandy soil lacking nutrients is another problem. To provide enough nutrients for the crops he wanted to grow, Mr. Negi started a farm with about 300 Chigu goats and mixed their manure with earthworms to effectively double the nitrogen content of the soil. . This also helps the clover hectares he planted around the oasis to thrive. In the past, clover would fade away as new plants grew. It was the clover growing area that overcame the problem Mr. Negi had at first, a rodent attack. These species will come to eat the delicious plants, so the farmer must plant clover in the legume family around the more valuable crops. Because hares love clover, when there is an abundance of this plant, they don’t bother with other plants. Since starting his job in Himachal Pradesh, Mr. Negi has spent all his money experimenting with combining local farming techniques with more scientific farming methods. It’s a laborious process, but over time the tree mortality rate drops from about 85% to just 1%. After proving that valuable crops such as peas, potatoes, green beans, apples and apricots could be grown even in harsh desert environments, the former official began to focus on long-lasting greenery. years, as he considers them essential to combat climate change in the region. “My first priority here is reforestation. Fake acacia is the most planted. Then there are willows and wild apricots. As for fruit trees and other crops, including green beans, I planted them only as a model for people to replicate,” said Mr. Negi. With just the help of two volunteers, Mr. Anand Dhawaj Negi transformed a cold desert area of ​​more than 90 hectares into a green oasis, receiving praise from both locals and scientists. People come from far and wide to witness this real-life miracle, some buying Negi’s natural fertilizer to grow their own crops and others bringing their livestock to eat clover, the fodder for livestock. cattle are considered the best in the region. Mr. Anand Dhawaj Negi has turned a cold desert area of ​​more than 90 hectares into a green oasis. Sadly, Anand Dhawaj Negi, the desert healer, passed away last month at the age of 74 from a stroke. He will be remembered as a local hero and the green oasis project hopes to be preserved as a reminder that nothing is impossible. Negi’s family intends to continue his work, but has asked the government to take responsibility for the oasis and help the family in its conservation. Virender Sappa Negi, Mr. Negi’s wife, told The Better India news site: ‘Before he said goodbye to us, he planned to plant some evergreen or conifers such as pines and deciduous trees. We want to fulfill these last wishes of his. In addition, we want the state government to take responsibility for this oasis so that his work can inspire future generations.” Anand Dhawaj Negi has become one of the many Indian legends who devoted their lives to afforestation like Uttarakhan’s “Tree Man” or Aditya and Poonam Singh.

The ancient amulet has just been presented to the Israel Antiquities Authority. A bronze amulet engraved with God’s name and magical symbols for protection from evil spirits and the “evil eye” curse has been turned over to authorities after being unearthed in northern Israel 40 years ago. before. According to the IAA , the amulet once worn on a necklace is believed to date to about 1,500 years ago during the Byzantine period . At that time, the region was ruled by the Eastern Roman Empire, also known as the Byzantine Empire after Byzantium, the old name of the city in which it was based (later Byzantium was renamed Constantinople and now It’s Istanbul now.) Although the amulet is engraved with Greek letters, they spell the Jewish name IAW, a form of the name “Yahweh” in the English alphabet. This bronze amulet, about eight centimeters long and four centimeters wide, was found near the site of an ancient synagogue at Arbel, just west of the Sea of ​​Galilee. Eitan Klein, an archaeologist with the IAA, said the location and inscriptions suggest that the amulet may have been worn by a Jewish, not necessarily Christian, regardless of its origin. its religion, “Although scholars often identify wearers of such amulets as Christians, the fact that the amulet was found in a Jewish settlement that had a synagogue in the fifth and sixth centuries A.D. might indicate that even the Jews of that period wore amulets of this kind to protect against the evil eye and the devil,” says Klein. Devil’s Eye This type of charm was relatively common at that time in Galilee and what is now Lebanon; They are sometimes known as a form of the “Seal of Solomon”, named after the legendary king of Israel. One side of this amulet features a galloping horseman with a halo on his head, thrusting a spear into a woman lying on her back. A Greek inscription carved above the rider’s head reads “The Only God Who Conquers Evil” and God’s name in Greek letters – IAW – is engraved underneath the horse’s feet. The other side depicts an eye pierced by an arrow and an object split in half. The eye appears to be threatened by two lions, a snake, a scorpion, and a bird below it, and a Greek letter abbreviation meaning “One Lord” engraved above it. above it. The amulet was probably made to protect people against evil spirits and a magical curse known as the evil eye, a long-held belief throughout the ancient world at least as far back as the sixth century. B.C. According to this belief, some magicians are said to be able to lift the curse with a malicious look, while those who receive it will be injured or have misfortune. “The equestrian is depicted conquering evil spirits, in this case a woman identified with the Greek mythological figure of Gello or Gyllou, who threatens women and children,” Klein said. and is related to the evil eye,” Klein said. “The eye on the back is identifiable as a demon eye that is attacked and destroyed in various ways. Therefore, the amulet was probably used to protect women and children.” A family member of the finder, now deceased, recently turned over the amulet to the Israel Antiquities Authority, and Klein encourages those with similar treasures to do the same. The amulet is believed to date back to the late Talmudic period in Jewish history, when traditional Jewish theology and law were formalized in a collection of written works known as the Talmud. The synagogue in Arbel is often mentioned in historical sources from Talmudic times, Klein said; where there was a linen manufacturing industry, and many Jewish sages visited or taught there.

Vietnamese fresh spring rolls were found to have compounds that kill harmful bacteria in food. Photo: RMIT. Professors and researchers at RMIT University (Australia) have shown how to use this natural bacteria-killing compound to keep food fresh for longer. Weapons to kill bacteria A team of researchers from RMIT University was inspired to learn about the potential, antibacterial properties of Nem chua after traveling to Vietnam. They were surprised to see people who ate this raw meat without getting sick even in hot and humid climates. The research team, led by Professor Andrew Smith (Griffith University, Australia) and Dr Bee May, has discovered a new type of germicidal compound in spring rolls. That’s Plantacyclin B21AG, a group of compounds made by bacteria to kill other rival strains of bacteria. This compound is said to be much more potent than previously created man-made preservatives as food preservatives. The harmful bacteria Listera (green) dies after being exposed to the compound in Vietnamese spring rolls, Plantacyclin B21AG. Plantacyclin B21AG can survive at 90 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes and remains stable at high or low pH levels. This compound has the ability to kill a wide range of pathogenic organisms commonly found in food, Listeria, potentially life-threatening, persisting in the refrigerator or even when frozen. Study co-leader Professor Oliver Jones said there was a growing need for natural alternatives to artificial food preservatives. The reason for this is the change in people’s consumption habits. Safe for humans Professor John, associate dean of the Department of Food Science and Technology at RMIT University, said: “Scientists have known this natural bacteria-killing compound for many years. But the challenge was to manufacture it. obtain them in quantities large enough for use in the food industry”. “The structural compound of Nem chua is colorless, odorless, tasteless and very tough. Through this new study, we have identified suitable growth conditions that allow us to produce this compound in large quantities. large, potentially industrial scale. I hope this is an effective, safe and natural solution to both waste and potentially food-borne diseases,” said Professor John. Australian professors and doctors were surprised that spring rolls made from raw meat are not harmful to people. Photo: Vietnamdiscovery. Dr Elvina Parlindungan, who completed the study, said: “Using natural bacteria themselves as effective preservatives in food, we are turning bacteria’s toxic weapons against them. This smart solution from nature will solve all the major challenges in food technology. In the future, these compounds could also be useful as antibiotics in medicine.” Following the discovery, researchers at RMIT University began testing methods for purifying the compound and are planning to include it in experimental products. They look forward to working with many potential industry partners to further develop food technology. This work was supported by a PhD scholarship from the Indonesian Education Foundation (Indonesian Ministry of Finance), awarded to Dr. Parlindungan.

The author said that she started recording this scene because she noticed that the plane seemed to be stationary in the air. “There was another plane that flew a few minutes before so I knew it wasn’t moving,” the person added. The plane is stationary in the sky in two videos. Photo: Unilad. Two days later, @lesxbalboa once again passed by the same spot and saw the plane motionless, hovering right where she had last seen it. She continued to post a second video, showing the mysterious plane standing still in the sky but this time at night. It is not clear where the video was filmed. Myself @lesxbalboa also appeared confused, she could not explain to her followers online about the strange phenomenon. “I know this is unusual. Google says it happens very rarely, but why do I see it twice,” she commented. This is not the only video showing the phenomenon of aircraft hovering, almost not moving in the air. Videos shot in Moscow, Russia or Dallas, USA have also been uploaded online and have hundreds of thousands of views. There are several ways to interpret the image of an airplane “standing” in the sky. Many people point out that this may just be a hallucination. Specifically, the blue sky behind the plane has almost no clouds or an object to refer to. The plane may not have reached top speed because it is taking off. The clip was shot on a moving car, which means the focal length and distance between the camera and the aircraft change, akin to the Dolly Zoom technique in the movies. Because the background is the sky, there is not much detail, so the viewer has the illusion that the plane is hovering in the air. In addition, if the aircraft is landing and encounters strong winds, the pilot may also have to maneuver skillfully to keep it stable. At this point, the plane actually moves very little in the air and if standing from a distance, it looks like it is standing in the sky. Many people associate this phenomenon with conspiracy theories about simulated worlds. Photo: Futurism. Of course, there are also many comments explaining in a humorous way. Some users joked that the plane was in “Airplane Mode” or that the pilot was taking on a challenge to make a mannequin. Others believe that the pilot has just graduated from a training course via… Zoom, the moment the plane stands still is when he is looking for more instructional videos on YouTube. For those who like conspiracy theories, there is another explanation that fits the theory that we live in a simulated world, like in the movie The Matrix. With the simulator, the plane “standing” in the air is like a system malfunction. This hypothesis originated in 2003, in a famous scientific paper by philosopher Nick Bostrom from the University of Oxford. He thinks our reality is just a computer simulation of some advanced civilization. According to Nick Bostrom, at least one of the following three statements is true: civilizations often go extinct before a realistic simulated development is possible; advanced civilizations are often not interested in creating realistic simulations; We are almost certainly living inside a computer simulation. Not only scientists, some famous figures also doubted the reality of humans. During the Recode 2016 conference, Elon Musk – founder of Tesla and SpaceX – said that “the probability that we are living in the original world is one in a billion”. What if you dig a tunnel through the Earth? The tunnel through the Earth will take several years to complete under extremely high temperatures and pressures. The gravity train will make this trip in 42 minutes.

Book of Napoleon Bonaparte published by Literature and Dong A Publishing House. Photo: D. A. Genius or sinner? Historian Adam Zamoyski tore the veil of anecdotal covering the character’s life, explaining Napoleon based on the context of the European Enlightenment. His book has just been published in Vietnamese with the name Napoleon Bonaparte , translated by translator Nguyen Qui Hien. The 916-page book of 44 chapters, builds on the biography of Napoleon Bonaparte from his birth on the island of Corsica, his way to advancement, to his death on the island of Saint Helena. The author spends a large amount of time researching about the years that formed the person of Napoleon, to explain a person that is still controversial. The author also focuses on writing about the first Italian campaign (1796-1797), which showed how Napoleon was superior to his opponents and colleagues. The Russia campaign is seen by the author as “the key to Napoleon’s decline, and shows how his confusions led to political suicide”. Adam Zamoyski was soon exposed to contrasting, anecdotes about Napoleon: A divine genius, an embodiment of romantic ideals, a vicious demon, or just a dictator. ugly small stature. Historical studies cause Adam Zamoyski to disagree with any of them. In Preface In the book, the author stated the purpose of the research: “This book is not to justify or condemn, but to rearrange the pieces of the human life born under the name of Napoleone Bonaparte, and to consider how Why did he become ‘Napoléon’ and gain all the achievements he had, and why did he lose all this fortune.” With the view that Napoleon was a genius, Adam Zamoyski said that he did not see this character as having anything superhuman, but had many extraordinary qualities. Napoleon was still an ordinary man in many respects, “despite having achieved countless glory, personally led the most disastrous battle in military history (a disaster of his own making), and himself single-handedly destroy the great fortune that I, along with many others, have worked so hard to build.” Historian Adam Zamoyski rates Napoleon as an excellent tactician; but he was not a strategist, so at the end of his life he met a tragic end. With the view that Napoleon is “a bloodthirsty demon of war”, the author rejects when placing the character in a historical context. According to the author, Napoleon’s motives and ambitions were similar to those of his contemporaries such as Tsar Alexander I, Duke of Wellington, Earl Blucher… Before the rise of Napoleon, a hegemonic dispute broke out. Britain occupied Canada, a large part of India; Austria won many provinces in Italy; Poland and Prussia increased in size… But the leaders were not criticized for being bloodthirsty for war. The book is considered a true biography of Napoleon. Photo: D. A. Put the character in historical context Writing a biography, the author puts Napoleon in historical context, ignoring accepted opinions and prejudices. To do this, the author has focused on many sources that he considers reliable. He consults a large number of documents in government archives, national libraries of many countries, to books, newspapers in circulation, and the research of previous historians. The author also studies the memoirs of related people such as Bourrienne, Fouché, Barras… with caution. He said that these characters originally wrote memoirs mainly to justify themselves or to build their own image. The book has received positive feedback from researchers and the press. The Times “This is perhaps one of the most honest biographies of Napoleon,” he wrote. In addition to footer and Bibliography presented according to the original book, the Vietnamese version is supplemented with the Vietnamese Index system. This helps readers to look up more historical sources that the author has consulted when writing the book, creating a convenient and scientific experience. Vietnamese edition of Napoleon Bonaparte There are also illustrations from the book Histoire de l’Empereur Napoleon , by Laurent de l’Ardèche, by painter Horace Vernet. The appendix of the book is 36 images of Napoleon’s life through paintings by contemporary artists. These are portraits of Napoleon, portraits of his relatives, related figures, places, events (such as the Tuileries Palace, the Arc de Triomphe Carrousel, the coronation of Napoleon)… Author Adam Zamoyski (1949) is a British historical researcher. He can speak five languages ​​English, Polish, French, Italian, Russian. He is currently teaching in the UK, USA and Europe. Adam Zamoyski wrote many books on Polish and European history. He is the author of three works on Napoleon: Napoleon Bonaparte (Napoleon: A Life) ), Moscow 1812: Napoleon’s Fatal March on Moscow (1812 – Napoleon’s deadly campaign in Moscow), Rites of Peace, The Fall of Napoleon & the Congress of Vienna (Peace Rite – The Fall of Napoleon and the Conference of Vienna).

The Sun’s atmosphere can be as hot as 1 million degrees Celsius. This increase in temperature, despite the increased distance from the Sun’s primary energy source, has been observed in most stars. In 1942, Swedish scientist Hannes Alfvén hypothesized that the magnetizing waves of plasma could carry large amounts of energy along the Sun’s magnetic field from the interior to the corona, passing through the photosphere. before exploding with heat in the upper atmosphere of the Sun. This hypothesis has been tentatively accepted, but there is no evidence that these waves exist. Recent research by scientists finally confirms Alfvén’s nearly 80-year-old hypothesis and brings us one step closer to harnessing this high-energy phenomenon on Earth. The sun is made up almost entirely of plasma Halo problems have been around since the late 1930s, when the Swedish spectrographer Bengt Edlén and the German astrophysicist Walter Grotrian first observed phenomena in the sun’s corona that could only be observed. present if its temperature is a few million degrees Celsius. This represents temperatures up to 1,000 times hotter than the photosphere below it, which is the surface of the Sun that we can see from Earth. Estimating the heat of the photosphere has always been relatively simple: we simply measure the light reaching us from the Sun and compare it with spectral models that predict the temperature of the light source. Through decades of research, the temperature of the photosphere has always been estimated to be around 6,000°C. Edlén and Grotrian’s discovery that the Sun’s corona is much hotter than the photosphere – albeit farther from the core. of the Sun, its supreme source of energy – has given the scientific community a headache. Scientists looked at the properties of the Sun to explain this difference. The sun is made up almost entirely of plasma, which is a highly ionized gas that carries an electrical charge. The movement of this plasma in the convection zone – the upper part of the sun – generates enormous electric currents and strong magnetic fields. These magnetic fields are then pulled up from the Sun’s interior by convection, and enter its visible surface in the form of sunspots, which are clusters of magnetic fields that can form a variety of magnetic structures. differences in the Sun’s atmosphere. Alfvén reasoned that within the Sun’s magnetized plasma, any large movement of charged particles would perturb the magnetic field, creating waves that could carry enormous amounts of energy across vast distances. (from the surface of the Sun to its atmosphere). Heat travels along what is known as a flux tube from the sun before bursting into the corona, creating its high temperature. Measure the temperature of the Sun with an imaging spectrometer These magnetic plasma waves are now known as Alfvén waves, and the explanation for the heating of the circle led to Alfvén being awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize in Physics. The Interferometric Bidimetric Urban Spectrometer (IBIS) for imaging spectroscopy, installed at the Dunn Solar Telescope in the US state of New Mexico. This instrument has allowed researchers to make more detailed observations and measurements of the Sun. Combined with good observational conditions, advanced computer simulations, and the efforts of an international team of scientists from seven research institutions, they used IBIS to confirm the existence of waves for the first time. Alfvén in flux tubes from the sun. The researchers also expect more solar discoveries soon, thanks to new, groundbreaking missions and tools. The European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter satellite is currently in orbit around the Sun, providing images and making measurements of the star’s unexplored polar regions. The launch of the new high-performance Solar telescope is also expected to enhance our observation of the Sun from Earth.

The main character Thomas in Eternal life is a successful American businessman, also a confidant of author Nguyen Phong. In part 1, Thomas has lived through mystical lives, from the mighty Atlantis civilization to the ancient Egyptian kingdom of powerful Pharaohs to modern-day America. In part 2, Thomas continues his human journey through three lives Assyrian, Greek and modern times with a mysterious colleague from past lives, Kris. The incredible interlacing stories of the two easily explain the Buddhist lessons – from attachment to cause and effect, reincarnation… Attachment remains after death The story goes that, one day Thomas was visiting the old house of an old friend, this businessman suddenly saw a strange old man, turned out to be a spirit that passed away decades ago. This accountant’s soul implored Thomas to fulfill one wish: Destroy the papers recording the wrong payments of the former owner, because of sudden death the accountant was unable to do so. . “It’s been more than 80 years, I still have that in my heart and have never dared to leave this house. I have to stay here to keep the notebook, to avoid it falling into the hands of others,” the old man said. That is, just because of an unfinished task that his spirit could not escape forever. Thomas’s strange encounter with the old accountant’s ghost can help us figure out where we are in the river of destiny. Meeting is destiny, working with the boss is life; spending in the dark is the cause, and the notebook is the effect. The old accountant’s attachment is that the boss’s secrets should not be kept, secrets that can affect the reputation of the person he has served. It has become a stored part of the store consciousness of this life. “When a person dies, a person leaves the physical body and exists in another form called the bardo or spirit body. This is the intermediate state between death and the next rebirth. The only thing that really exists is the store consciousness, which is the basis of existence, the foundation of all consciousness. Every thought, word, and action in a lifetime, whether good or bad, creates a cause, or a seed, which is stored in the store-consciousness, never to be lost,” the book explains. Eternal life, part 1, 2 – Author: Nguyen Phong Sow cause and reap fruit Human life is like a dream, it’s too short for us to stop and reflect on what causes cause and effect, and then steps into the spirit world and the rest is just attachment. Meetings in Eternal life Part 2 is sometimes too mundane, like what we have been going through. But reading until the end, we realize, it turns out that every daily action can cause cause and effect, which no one can control. Thomas and Don C (the new owner of the accountant’s ghost house) make friends from a co-worker relationship that is also a result of cause and effect for both of them. Thomas meeting the spirit is a part of life, releasing the responsibility for the spirit to return peace to the Don C family is a part of picking the fruit. But it is also possible that Thomas is spreading past cause and effect, or new cause in the future. Still follow Eternal life In part 2, when cause and effect will bear fruit depends on many other factors such as inspiration, subsequent behavior and merit of each person. Causality interdependence manifests: “If this exists, the other is formed. When this arises, the other arises. If one does not exist, the other does not exist. When this is destroyed, the other is destroyed.” That is also the fate, the predestined birth. Our small actions every day can make a huge connection over time. The Mission of Reincarnation We humans are inherently sentient and as in theory Dependent origination of Buddhism, one can become entangled in the cycle of samsara. A continuous cycle of cause and effect can then be transmigrated to the six paths of reincarnation: heaven, human, Atula, animal, hungry ghosts, and hell. Thomas’s colorful journey back to his past life, through “the Mesopotamian deserts of Assyria to ancient Greece, Persia, and India through the conquests of Alexander the Great” has explained us better about this. the reincarnation of a human being. Thomas and his mysterious friend Kris have cultivated together for many lifetimes, although the path is not the same, but the predestined connection has caused them to meet again to complete their previous promises and missions. Or Thomas reunited with friends from past lives to relearn lessons to be learned. If there is a cause, there must be a result, so two people keep borrowing and repaying each other, lasting for many lifetimes without end. Such is the complexity of cause and effect in samsara. And each person’s task is to live a life that opens their hearts to everyone, develops love, and learns the lessons they need to learn, “instead of just worrying about beautifying the body, which is now dead and floating. life after life in the endless stream of samsara”, as Thomas explained.

Pig Bird is a bird of unique beauty It’s been a long time since I’ve been home. The village has changed day by day, green, yellow, white, red… matching. The village is now no different from the city. In multicolor, I like blue. Green, green, forest green… Green also means sustainability and ecology. Many joys and many sorrows of the revolution” New countryside “. I am born and raised in my hometown. The stumbling blocks on the village road, from my childhood…helped me grow up, walking slowly on the path of life. In a little holy joy, I am glad the birds are back. Not because the trees are more green. Perhaps because humans are less likely to chase and eradicate. Humans have known to cherish the birdsong of freedom in the canopy of leaves. Among many named and unknown birds, I have heard the sound of the Pig bird. Regarding the memory of each tree branch, blade of grass, each bird species, I admire poet Vuong Cuong. All kinds of birds in his hometown, attached to his childhood, he told them all in the work “ The one who made peace with the sky “. I only remember Hello crest (also known as Chuc cat in Nghe An), Warbler, Brown Se (known in Nghe An as Rach Rach or Chop Chop – I wrote in the prose Bird Rach), Pickaxe, Cheo boo… …. Where is the Cheo and the banyan tree of faithful life bamboo groves with yellow ivory growing flute Who’s daughter has dimples (Oh village, poem by Ngo Duc Hanh) “ Eh, eh, eh…”, In the early morning or evening, the sound of the Pig bird in the high, lonely sky. A few days ago, I heard, from strange to familiar. Looks like they’re looking for you. When I was a child, when I heard adults say, whenever I heard the sound of a pig, someone would die in the village. Many people believe that the Pig bird or Pig owl is a harbinger of a death. When the Pig bird cries at the end of someone’s house, that house is about to have someone die, 7 calls for men and 9 calls for women. They believe that when people are about to die, they will release a specific smell that only Pig birds can detect and warn thanks to, thanks to their keen hearing. Scary sound. Proving spiritually, the sound of the Pig bird is synonymous with bad luck. I do not know tissue, numbness. Not even seen. Folks often push “ follow the mouth “. Few people are willing to study in detail. In fact, in the animal kingdom there is a “ surname “The bird is called the Pig Owl. Its scientific name is Tytonidae, which is one of two animal families belonging to the order Owls, some species found in Vietnam are often referred to as pig birds or pig birds because of its pig-like call. Pig Owls are birds of prey, mainly nocturnal, often living in pairs or solitary and non-migratory. Dishes” quiche ” of birds Pigs are mice, insects, lizards and some other birds. “ Eh, eh, eh.. .”, the sound is also scary, isn’t it? Contrary to its slow, calm and mysterious appearance, the Pig bird is actually a professional predator killer. In the dark, its sharp eyes can see even a small mouse running at a distance of hundreds of meters. With the speed of a wind and claws as sharp as knives, no prey can escape death when caught by them.” put in sight “. When I was a child, I went to the garden, sometimes I saw a Pig bird and ran into the house. Bird eyes Pig big, bright, pointed beak; Pig’s bird’s face is similar to that of a cat’s, so it’s easy to confuse the Pig owl (the Pig bird) and the Cat owl. The Owl family has the Cat owl and the Pig owl. Talking about the Pig owl, according to biodiversityist, engineer Le Sy Thuc, once the Director of Hanoi Zoo, there are 3 species of Pig owls in Vietnam, in addition to the Eastern wild boar owl, there is also the gray-backed pig owl. and the brown-backed owl are both classified as animals that are natural enemies of rats, and are strictly prohibited from being exploited from the wild. Among the three species of Pig owls, according to Mr. Le Sy Thuc, the wild boar owl is a species of aesthetic and scientific value, and a valuable genetic resource. Currently, the wild boar owl is included in the Red Book of Vietnam, the level of danger is due to the small number of individuals (not yet determined how many individuals still exist in the wild) and rare. Wild boar owl is included in the Red Book, hunting is strictly prohibited Chirp “ Eh, eh, eh…” is a survival weapon in the natural world that birds have. “Eh, Eh, Eh…”, the Pig bird uses its cry to scare its prey, causing them to panic and run away, then with its super-intelligent eyes, it will easily detect it. During the breeding period, the bird’s food needs increase, so they have to work harder to hunt. Which means they also chirp more. Call to hunt. At night, their cries echo in the quiet space, causing many people to fear and associate with mysterious things. Unlike Vietnam, in the world, people love Pig birds, in addition to their unique beauty, also because they have a very funny heart-shaped face and smooth plumage with many splendid patterns. Dance of the Pig Bird Is it true that a pig’s cry predicts human death? I once asked this question to Mr. Le Sy Thuc. He burst out laughing, not thinking I was that childish. It’s been a shame ever since. Pig Bird” death notice “is a misunderstanding, causing” Color Oan Thi ” for this useful bird. Even in folklore, who knows “ pry “, “ slander”, “give bad news “… about other people often given nicknames” Pig bird “. Disparaged” Birds Pigs “Definitely someone to be wary of. Pig Bird into poetry, perhaps only the song “Bird bird” / 猪鳥啼 translates as “” The sound of birds chirping ” by Confucian scholar Ngo The Lan, Le Mat dynasty (late Le Trung Hung period, 18th century). Oh the sound of birds and pigs sounds scary It called it hissing five bucks Non Thai tilts upside down the evil shadow The land of waves rolling black clouds Red swallows cry for mercy and hide in the forest Weasel wolves are all over the place Who dares to say outside of the court? Oh the sound of birds and pigs sounds scary (Source: Binh Tri Thien celebrity (volume I), Phan Hua Thuy, Thuan Hoa Publishing House, 1987, pp. 60 – 78) The poem shows that the society of the Le Mat period was dyed in a dreary dark color. For the black people, death (because of poverty, harsh policies, and chivalry) kept the party close to them while the rulers became more and more self-indulgent. During the market economy, on the stock exchange, “ Pig bird ” is also used. “ Pig Bird ” are people who specialize in badmouthing stocks or analyzing stocks that will drop in price with the aim of causing the stock to drop below its current price. They are holding money and want to buy stocks so they want the stock to drop in price to be bought cheap. That’s it, it’s very unfair to the Pig bird in the wild. Bad points or good omens are not brought by the Pig bird. Bad or good is due to “ blessings “The life created by each living being and by each nation. Now, every time I hear the pig’s voice, I look up at the sky. Amidst the stars, the wings of the Pig bird are splendid, spread out in a friendly manner. Ha Tinh, June 11, 2021 New Year’s Day

The speed of light (more generally, the speed of propagation of electromagnetic radiation) in a vacuum, denoted c, is an important fundamental physical constant in many areas of physics. It has an exact value of 299,792,458 meters per second, because the meter length unit is redefined based on this constant and the standard second. According to special relativity, c is the maximum speed that all energy, matter, and information in the universe can reach. It is the speed at which every massless particle bound to physical fields (including electromagnetic radiation such as light photons) propagates in a vacuum. It is also the propagation speed of gravity (such as gravitational waves) predicted by current theories. Particles and waves travel with velocity c regardless of the motion of the source or of the observer’s inertial frame of reference. After Einstein founded relativity, it became known that the speed of light is indeed very fast, because this is the upper limit of the local speed in the universe, and no other speed can be exceeded. through it. Moreover, regardless of the medium in the frame of reference, the measured speed of light is exactly the same. Based on the principle of the constant speed of light in relativity and the highly accurate measurement of the speed of light, physicists have also determined the speed of light to be 299,792,458 meters/second without affecting the speed of light. affect the current physical quantity. In this way, people no longer have to worry about accurately measuring the speed of light, and can also solve the problem of errors in the equipment used to determine the clock. The speed of light propagating in a vacuum is independent of both the motion of the light source as well as of the observer’s inertial frame of reference. The constancy of the speed of light was postulated by Einstein in his 1905 paper on special relativity. Physicists can now only experimentally confirm the speed of light by methods above two Two-way speed of light is frame-independent, because the speed of light cannot be measured in one-way speed of light, ignoring some conventions of uniformity. synchronization between the clock at the source and the clock at the receiver. Whether it’s electron transition, nuclear fusion, nuclear fission, or the annihilation of yin and yang matter, these processes produce light. Once light is created, their speed will immediately reach the speed of light, and they will always travel at this speed. If light were not absorbed by matter, they would not be dissipated in the universe, and the speed would always remain at the speed of light. For example, the first photons created in the universe 13.8 billion years ago are still present today, and they travel through the universe at the speed of light. So, how did light reach the speed of light? How does light maintain the speed of light? What is the driving force that drives the light forward? If it is explained from the point of view of the particle nature of light, then light is composed of photons with no rest mass. According to special relativity, since the static mass of photons is zero, their speed can only be the speed of light. According to the Higgs mechanism of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, when photons without static mass pass through the Higgs field throughout the universe, the photons will not be coupled, so they will not gain static mass, and their speed will not decrease. Once the photons are generated, their speed will directly reach the speed of light, and there is no acceleration from zero to the speed of light. Propagation of photons does not require energy to propagate, if they were not absorbed by matter or a black hole, they would always travel aimlessly through a vacuum at the speed of light. On the other hand, if explained from the evaporation of light, the nature of light is electromagnetic wave. Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism show that electricity and magnetic fields are essentially unified, that a changing electric field excites a magnetic field, and a changing magnetic field excites a repeated electric field, creating out electromagnetic waves. Since electromagnetic fields are formed at the speed of light, electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. The generation and existence of electromagnetic fields are independent of the medium, so light can travel at the speed of light in a vacuum. Although the spatial structure continues to expand, light propagating through space will appear redshift, but they will not completely disappear in the universe.

The girl was buried with a sparrow in her mouth. Archaeologists are trying to solve the mystery of a girl who was buried with the head of at least a sparrow in her mouth hundreds of years ago. Although the skeleton was discovered by archaeologist Waldemar Chmielewski in southern Poland in the Tunel Wielki cave during excavations in 1967 and 1968, the cause of this burial has not been analyzed in detail. details so far. New radiocarbon dating indicates that the girl died about 300 years ago. People in Europe stopped burying the dead in caves since the Middle Ages, making the burial of this girl very unusual. A team of researchers wrote in a paper published online May 29 in the German journal “Prehistory”: “Cave burials are often absent from historical periods in Europe. Therefore, the discovery of a girl buried with at least a bird’s head buried in her mouth in the cave of Tunel Wielki is a post-medieval inhuman and exceptional find.” It is also unusual for her to have at least one bird’s head in her mouth, the researchers said, and no other examples are known from this time in Europe. After analyzing the skeleton, researchers, from Poland’s Warsaw University and other institutions in Poland, discovered the girl had died between the ages of 10 and 12. Her bones also showed signs of slow growth in the years that followed, possibly as a result of a metabolic disease. They did not find any evidence of trauma, nor any clues as to how the girl died. No items, other than the bird’s head placed in her mouth, were found. Who is she? To try to solve the mystery of who the girl was and why she was buried in this way, the team conducted a series of scientific tests and examined historical records. DNA tests indicated that the girl was likely from an area in northern Poland, possibly around present-day Finland or Karelia. Historical records show that from 1655 to 1657, the area was occupied by an army led by King Charles X Gustav of Sweden. His army included many soldiers from Finland and Karelia, records show, and those soldiers often traveled with their families. “Soldiers, mostly of low rank, were often accompanied by wives, mistresses and sometimes maids,” the researchers wrote. Records from the 19th century also show that people in Karelia, an area that stretches across present-day Russia and Finland, believed that someone who died in the forest should be buried in the forest, not in a cemetery. “Historically, this custom arose from the cosmological conception of a forest as a cemetery,” the researchers write. These findings led researchers to suggest that the girl may have come to the area during the war of 1655-1657 and that she may have died in the forest where the cave is located. The researchers note that Ojców Castle, where many soldiers and their families were kept, is located near the cave. A war between Sweden and its allies against a coalition of countries including Poland, Russia and Denmark. Why she was buried with at least one sparrow head in her mouth remains unknown. “Among many cultures, children’s souls are also formed in the form of small birds,” the researchers wrote. However, during the period in question, birds were never sent to the grave, let alone placed in the mouth of the deceased. The puzzle of the unique burial of the child from the Tunel Wielki Cave cannot be fully explained.”

Born with the blood of a magical creature (Frost Giant) and trained by Frigga himself, Loki is truly a talented magician. Although he proved to be inferior to subjects like Doctor Strange or Scarlet Witch, his skills were still good enough to impress mighty men like Odin. He himself had admitted that if Frigga were alive, she would be proud of him. So what kind of magic does Loki possess? Create Illusion Loki can create multiple illusions of himself at once, aiming to throw enemies into chaos. This skill was so perfect that he didn’t need to say a spell or do any movement to perform it. However, because they are only illusions, they cannot affect the environment. When someone tries to interact with the illusion, they will pass through it and will emit green light around wherever it is touched. In return, each of these illusions is so real that Loki can fake his own death, or physical condition in front of others. They can also be used to “communicate” with a remote object, even if the owner is standing in a different location. Concealing Presence Loki can make himself invisible to others, and not to hear anything he says. Basically, this is not really “stealth”, but a move that affects the mind of the target. Even Heimdall’s superior senses of the universe’s number one couldn’t detect Loki’s whereabouts while he was in Jotunheim. In addition, Loki can also apply this spell to many other objects. Thanks to that, he was able to easily send the Frost Giants into Asgard. Psychic Loki can influence the mind of the target to a certain extent. With this move, he can control anyone’s mind and force them to follow his orders unconsciously. The spell is so powerful that it can affect Odin, leaving him in Midgard while Loki usurps his throne as king of Asgard for four years. However, this spell does not last forever and Odin was able to break it before Ragnarok took place. In addition, this ability also allows Loki to read the subject’s memories, and the affected subject must also “experience” that memory. Transfiguration Transfiguration is one of Loki’s forte. Transformation spells can be cast on the entire body or parts (of the owner and others), allowing Loki to change his clothes, voice, and appearance to resemble a human or other animal. . Loki’s transformation is so proficient that from an early age, he was able to transform himself into a snake to trick Thor, with a disguise convincing enough for Thor to pick up and hold without a doubt. which. Of course, this spell is also powerful enough for Loki to create objects like daggers and other equipment. It can be said that this is magic without limits. Thanks to it, Loki was able to disguise himself as Odin for a long time without being detected by any of the Asgardians. Summon This spell allows Loki to summon any object from nowhere, such as summoning Han Dong Bao He, and then returning it to its original position when it is no longer needed. This can be said to be quite a convenient spell, as Loki can take whatever he needs without having to bring it with him. Telekinesis Loki can act on objects and move them with just his will, similar to creating an enormous shock force. During the skirmish between Loki, Thor, Sif, the Three Warriors, and the Frost Giants, Loki used his telekinesis to amplify the damage of each knife he threw from a distance. Upon hearing the news of Frigga’s death, Loki in a fit of rage clenched his fists and blew everything around the cell against the wall, creating an impact that caused the cell to shake violently and generate electromagnetic pulses in it.

Soviet polar explorer at the NP-8 ice station. Photo: Sputnik On May 28, 1962, two Americans parachuted from the B-17 “Flying Fortress,” landing at Severny Polyus-8 (also known as North Pole-8, or NP-8), a research station destroyed abandoned Soviet Union is drifting on an iceberg in the Arctic Ocean. This was the starting point of one of the CIA’s most unusual operations, which went down in history with the codename Operation Coldfeet. Hunting for Soviet ice stations An iceberg station was only useful to Soviet polar explorers until the moment the iceberg on which it rested began to disintegrate. At that time, the scientists will be urgently evacuated and the abandoned station will continue to drift across the ocean until it is completely destroyed. In the early 1960s, the CIA and the US Department of Navy’s Office of Naval Research conducted a real manhunt for abandoned Soviet ice stations. It is believed that in those places are installed sonar detectors of US submarines. Initially, the CIA’s target was station NP-9, discovered by a reconnaissance plane in May 1961. However, this mission stalled and the ice station was pushed too far into the ocean. A tow truck rescues a car mired in snow at a Soviet observation post on an iceberg in the Arctic. Photo: Getty Images In the spring of 1962, about 970 km from Candian Air Force Base in Resolute Bay, another abandoned iceberg station, NP-8, was unexpectedly discovered. It is an opportunity not to be missed. However, American icebreakers could not make their way through the dense ice in the area, helicopters could not reach the location, and it was too dangerous for an aircraft to land on a disintegrating “buoy”. So the CIA decided to drop the agents by parachute. But the question then is how to bring them back. Ultimately, officials decided to use a system that specialized in evacuating CIA agents from hostile territory known as the ‘Skyhook’ developed by Robert E. Fulton in the late 1950s. The system required a a bread-shaped, helium-filled balloon, a 150-meter extension cord and a low-altitude aircraft. Lockheed P-2 Neptune reconnaissance aircraft. Photo: RBTH When they needed to get out of the location, CIA agents would use helium cylinders to inflate their personal balloons, tie one end of the rope to it, and wrap the other end around them. The balloon will rise into the air, and the rescue plane will use special forks to reach for the rope, then release the balloon. The rope was then wound onto a winch and lifted the agents onto the plane. The rescue Major James Smith, an experienced paratrooper who is fluent in Russian, and his colleague, Lieutenant Leonard A. LeSchack, an expert in submarine surveillance systems, spent three days researching the NP-station- 8. They parachute down to the station with some necessary equipment boxes. As expected by the Americans, the Soviet scientists rushed to leave the NP-8 station without taking all the equipment with them. CIA agents unearthed more than 80 documents, collected fragments of equipment left behind by the Soviets, and took about a hundred pictures. Soviet Arctic Station 9. Photo: Sputnik By the time it was designated to evacuate, the weather at station NP-8 had deteriorated dramatically: Visibility had plummeted and icy winds were rushing in. Connie W. Seigrist, the pilot of the plane that rescued the agents, recalls: “I was immediately thrown into a situation that could have been imagined as if I was flying through space.” The aircraft collected the “trophies” using the ‘Skyhook’ system without much difficulty, but with humans it was even more difficult. The wind dragged LeSchack nearly 100 meters above the ice as he waited for evacuation by trying to anchor himself to a block of ice. Even after the plane had picked up, LeSchack spent another 10 minutes dangling in the icy air before being hoisted onto the plane.

Photo: RBTH After observing what happened to his colleague, Smith released his balloon and grabbed hold of an abandoned Soviet tractor. In the end, he was lifted without any particular difficulty. As a result of Operation Coldfeet, the Americans discovered that the Soviet Union had made significant advances in the study of polar meteorology and polar oceanography. In addition, they obtained evidence that the Russians were using sonar equipment to detect American submarines in the Arctic. “Overall, the Soviet Union’s remarkable achievements in iceberg stations reflect their long experience in this field and the great importance their government places on it,” said Operation Commander, Captain John Cadwalader noted.

The Fukang meteorite is auctioned off. Where this extraterrestrial object originated and how was formed is still a topic of discussion among scientists. Coming from an asteroid The Fukang meteorite glows in the sunlight. The Fukang meteorite was discovered near the town of Fukang in Xinjiang, an autonomous region in northwest China, in 2000 by an unidentified hiker. Every day, this person often stops by a giant rock to have lunch and rest. Once, he was suddenly curious about the structure of this object, when he noticed that it seemed to have metal and crystal inside, so he decided to break some pieces and send it to the US for confirmation of the type. He was surprised to learn that these samples did not come from Earth, but belonged to a meteorite. In February 2005, these objects appeared at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Exhibition (USA). Here, it was noticed by Professor DS Lauretta (a specialist in Planetary Science and Astrochemistry at the University of Arizona), who is also the principal investigator of NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission. Then, the remains of the Fukang Meteorite (with a mass of 983 kg, excluding the 20 kg mass smashed by hikers) was directly studied by the University of Arizona (USA). Scientists said that this rock belongs to the type of iron-stone meteorite, called Pallasite. Pallasite meteorites contain olivine, which is thought to come from the crust of a rocky planet orbiting between Mars and Jupiter. If not from the planet, it could belong to an asteroid with a rocky shell and a metal core. Pallasite can be distinguished by a meteorite iron substrate, embedded with silicate crystals, mainly olivine (a yellow to greenish-yellow crystal). The Pallasite meteorite is named after Simon Peter Pallas, a German naturalist. He was the first to describe Pallasite Krasnojarsk, a 700 kg meteorite, discovered in Russia in 1772. The origin of the Fukang meteorite, like other Pallasite meteorites, has not been scientifically explained so far. It is hypothesized that it originated from an asteroid with a melted and decomposed metal core and surrounding olivine mantle and formed with the solar system about 4.5 billion years ago. In addition to its rarity, the Fukang meteorite, like other Pallasites, is a very beautiful object. When shined through the olivine crystals, the light will make the meteorite glow brightly and spectacularly. Most expensive A cross section of the Fukang meteorite is on display at Arizona State University (USA). Because of this beauty, collectors have always wanted to own pieces of the Fukang Meteorite. The largest part of this meteorite, weighing nearly 420 kg, is currently in the possession of an anonymous collector or group of collectors. In 2008, the above Fukang meteorite was auctioned at Bonham’s, New York (USA) with a starting price of about 2 million USD. A curator and online auction organizer has placed the Fukang meteorite at number one in the “Top 10 Most Expensive Meteorites Ever Discovered on Earth”. However, no one participated in the auction for this treasure perhaps because the price was too high. Meanwhile, other small pieces of the remaining meteorite, have been purchased in auctions and distributed around the world. Particularly, the University of Arizona Meteorite Laboratory (USA) holds a total of 31 kg of Fukang meteorites. Their website describes the Fukang Pallasite as “the most breathtaking example of the splendor of the natural universe”. In February 2021, the famous auction house Christie’s said it had sold “part of the most beautiful extraterrestrial matter known”. That tiny piece of meteorite alone brought the seller $30,000, far exceeding the initial estimate of $3,500 – $4,500. What makes the Fukang meteorite so special? First of all, this is not an “ordinary meteorite”. Pallasite is an extremely rare heaven stone. This is because most Pallasite cannot survive falling into Earth’s atmosphere. It is estimated that less than 1% of rock falling from the sky is Pallasite. Therefore, the Fukang Meteorite is considered by scientists as one of the most important celestial rock discoveries of the 21st century. According to the Planetary Science Institute, based in Tucson, Arizona, USA, there have been about 1,100 observed and found meteorite falls in history. Meanwhile, the number found but not observed goes up to 40,000. The Fukang meteorite is among these. The institute estimates that about 500 meteorites collide with Earth every year, most of which burn up in the atmosphere, the rest fall into the ocean or in remote, desolate regions (According to Science 101).

The book “Fantasy of Artificial Intelligence. However, with AI’s capabilities are fantasies and fears for the future of humanity. The real danger is not that computers are smarter than humans, but that people think computers are smarter than they are, and therefore trust the computers to make important decisions for them, because computers are perfect. They can all make serious mistakes, when the way they process data is not the way humans think. In order to explain thoroughly, debunk misunderstandings, and dispel illusions, author Gary Smith – Professor of Pomona College, USA wrote the book “Fantasy about artificial intelligence”. The book is divided into 12 chapters, including many real-life examples from history such as the 2008 US presidential election, IBM’s AI Watson and many other famous artificial intelligence projects with the aim of clarifying how intelligence works. Artificial intelligence processes information, gives the final result and shows the difference between AI (Artificial Intelligence) and the human brain, thereby showing readers the risks of over-trusting. computer results. In the first 4 chapters, the author has taken a lot of real-life examples to explain in an easy way how artificial intelligence works and how they give the end result. The author claims that robots have surpassed humans in repetitive monotonous tasks, they have better memory, perform more accurate calculations and are tireless. But artificial intelligence is not programmed to simulate the human brain, and artificial intelligence cannot think, reason, and make analogies. Since then, the author asserts that up to now computers with comprehensive intelligence enough to compete with humans have not yet existed. In the next two chapters, by referring to “Data Mining”, it is proven fact that Data mining although there will sometimes be a real knowledge discovery, given the number of explanatory variables The larger the consideration, the more likely it is that a relationship discovered is just a coincidence, of a temporary nature. In the remaining chapters of the book, the author has introduced many computational models in many fields such as finance, politics, economics… to prove that statistical evidence is not enough to distinguish between knowledge real and fake. The computer cannot accurately judge whether the correlation is random or truly significant. That work is only for the human mind. In conclusion, human intelligence works differently from artificial intelligence, so it cannot be said that artificial intelligence is intelligent. Robots excel in memory, accuracy, and endurance, but they still have many shortcomings: they can’t think, can’t make analogies, and can’t distinguish between good-bad, meaningless-meaning data. Humans need computers to process large amounts of information, but also need human intelligence to make final judgments about the results returned by computers. About the author, Gary Smith has been involved in many research projects that highlight the questionable use of data in statistical analysis. He has published 8 textbooks, 7 business books, nearly 100 academic articles and 7 software programs in economics, finance and statistics. In addition to teaching at Pomona College, he is also an economic analyst and consultant. His other well-known books such as “Standard deviation: Flawed assumptions” and “Tortured Data” also warn about the dangers of confusing correlations. and causality in statistical analysis.

In 2018, African swine fever broke out in China, raging for more than a year, wiping out more than half of the country’s 500 million pig herd. The pork crisis has plunged China into a severe shortage of pork. According to estimates, the price of pork in China has skyrocketed to a record, at one point increasing by 60-80% compared to before the epidemic. The thirst for pork has led Chinese livestock corporations, scientists and farmers to find solutions to increase the supply of pork. And the idea of ​​raising pigs as big as possible appeared. At that time, Chinese scientists were looking for a way to create a “super giant” pig breed. Specifically, the Animal Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences produces pigs that grow faster and with better meat by modifying their DNA code. This breed is quite strong, able to withstand harsh winters thanks to a special gene in the body. Notably, this pig breed has a huge weight, weighing from 200-500kg, even reaching a weight of 750kg. As such, they are roughly the size of a pygmy hippopotamus or a female polar bear. Chinese farmer rides on a “super giant” pig. (Photo: China Daily). Chinese farmers also joined in to help. From the end of 2019, Chinese farmers started breeding “super giant” pigs in the hope of generating higher profits. They are constantly fattening to produce pigs that are twice their normal weight. At the end of 2019, Bloomberg Once reported, a pig farm in Ho Chi Minh City. Nanning (Guangxi province, China) has successfully raised a pig weighing 500kg. At that time, if slaughtered, these pigs could sell for up to 10,000 yuan (equivalent to about 36 million dong). This level of revenue is 3 times higher than the average monthly income of the household head compared to traditional pig breeds. Since then, farmers across China have competed to breed giant pigs. The trend of giant pig farming is considered as one of the solutions to relieve stress on pork supply for Chinese people. Lin Guofa, a senior analyst at agriculture consulting firm Bric, said at the end of 2019 that the average weight of pigs at slaughterhouses on large farms had increased to 140kg, compared to with a normal weight of 110kg. As such, farms have increased pig weight by at least 14%. Profits of pig farmers at one point increased by more than 30%. Huge pig, as big as a polar bear. However, Ren Shouven, an expert at the Cattle Research Institute at the Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, told Sputnik that he disagreed with this conclusion. According to Mr. Ren, the increase in rearing time led to a delay in the release time. And the longer it takes to breed, the more capital is needed. The sooner pork is put on the market, the more likely it is to reduce the supply shortfall. Therefore, raising huge herds of pigs does not help in the fight against pork shortage. Mr. Ren also said that this method of “fattening” pigs is against the principles of scientific breeding. Increasing the head of a pig can be much more effective than increasing the size of the animal. Moreover, mass production of giant pigs is completely inefficient because increasing meat will increase fat. But grease has a lower commercial value. Not only that, the type of pork with a lot of fat will be less quality than the meat of pigs of normal weight. In fact, “super-giant” pig farmers in China are having to taste the bitter fruit when wholesale pork prices in the country plummet. Bloomberg reported that the wholesale price of pork in China has fallen more than 40% since mid-January. The reason for the shock drop in pork prices in the country of billions of people is due to falling demand, high imports of foreign pork and the panic of many farmers selling off their pigs after the outbreak of African swine fever in this country. Huge super pigs are also considered as one of the reasons why pork prices in China plummeted without stopping. At a conference in mid-May, Qiu Huaji, head of the swine infectious disease department at the Harbin Veterinary Research Institute, pointed out that the “super giant” pig breed was one reason for the price of meat. Pigs in China plummeted. Many farmers in China say they will no longer raise super-large pigs because the price of pork has fallen deeply, in addition to the high price of feed, which has reduced profits. The giant pigs eat more than normal pigs, so the more they raise the more losses. Muyuan Foods – the largest pig producer in China – predicts pork prices in the country will continue to fall and is expected to bottom out in 2022 or 2023. Hanh Nguyen (Synthetic)

A month after the fire, the X-Press Pearl now lies dormant in a semi-submersible state off the coast of Sri Lanka, its hull resting on the sandy bottom of the shallow sea. The X-Press Pearl burned for 13 days off the coast of Sri Lanka. Photo: BBC. Although the fire on board has been extinguished, the problems stemming from the fire are just beginning. Many stacked chemical containers are still stuck on the ship. Many of these barrels have leaked and soaked into the water, raising concerns about marine life being poisoned by the chemicals. In addition, tons of microplastics have washed up on nearby local beaches. Hundreds of tons of engine fuel sealed in the sunken hull is also likely to leak into the sea. In addition to the environmental threats, the X-Press Pearl ship fire also had devastating consequences for local communities, according to the report. BBC . Indigenous fishermen lose their livelihood overnight and may suffer the consequences for years to come. “We are fishermen, we have to go to the sea every day. We can only make a living by going to sea, otherwise our whole family will starve,” said Denish Rodrigo, who lives on the Sri Lankan coast. with BBC . Billions of microplastics One of the most striking features in the photos documenting the X-Press Pearl fire disaster is the many small round plastic beads spilling from the ship. The number of pieces of plastic is so much that the naked eye can see them when they are next to each other. These microplastics are the main ingredient of most plastic products on the planet. Large amounts of microplastics from the X-Press Pearl ship could threaten the Sri Lankan ecosystem. Photo: BBC. “There were about 46 different chemicals on that ship (X-Press Pearl),” Hemantha Withanage, a Sri Lankan environmental activist, told the BBC. BBC . “But what we’ve been able to see most clearly so far are tons of microplastics.” Since the end of May, pieces of plastic from the X-Press Pearl have washed up on the beaches of Negombo city on the west coast of Sri Lanka. Locals also reported dead fish floating around because of ingesting microplastics. Normally, plastic takes between 500 and 1,000 years to completely decompose. The aforementioned microplastics may have been pushed by ocean currents to the coasts around Sri Lanka or even beyond. “Our whole family will starve to death” For fishermen in Negombo, their concern isn’t just about ingesting microplastics in their fish, but the possibility that they won’t be able to catch any fish. Local authorities have issued a fishing ban in the area affected by the fire. This means that many fishermen have lost their entire source of income and livelihood overnight. “Fish species grow on coral reefs in the area, and authorities say those areas have been destroyed by the effects of dangerous chemicals. Now there is no choice but to jump into the sea naturally. death,” said Mr. Tiuline Fernando, who has been a fisherman for the past 35 years BBC . Many fishing families in Negombo struggled to make ends meet because they lost their livelihood overnight. Photo: BBC. The Sri Lankan government is demanding compensation and insurance from the owners of the X-Press Pearl. However, locals do not expect that money to be used to support them. The local fishermen’s association said it needed help from the whole community. “It’s not just us (fishers) but many other related industries are also affected,” explained the president of the indigenous fishermen’s association Densil Fernando. “Suppliers of nets, engines, boats and oil are involved in fishing operations. Thousands of jobs related to the fishing industry are being affected,” said Mr. Fernando. Chemical pollution The most lasting impact from the fire is believed to be a problem of chemical contamination. Activist Withanage said some of the hazardous elements found on board the X-Press Pearl were nitric acid, sodium dioxide, copper and lead. When mixed with water, these elements enter the internal organs of local sea creatures. Small fish can die immediately from poisoning, but large fish are more likely to survive, the poison will gradually accumulate in their bodies over time. Toxic marine life washed ashore in Negombo, Sri Lanka. Photo: BBC. Mr Withange said fish, turtles and dolphins had died and washed up on beaches. Many of them have turned green, indicating that the body is contaminated with metals and chemicals. “In a couple of years, if you catch a tuna, there’s a good chance it’s still poisoned,” Mr Withange said. “This chemical buildup is a serious problem.” “People should be informed about this,” he added. “The X-Press Pearl is now a toxic ship. Anything from this ship that washes ashore is very poisonous. People shouldn’t even touch them.”

Pu Yi was only 3 years old at that time, crying loudly, the Qing court was in turmoil, ending the legendary life of a controversial woman in Chinese history. So why did the woman with the power of the tide die a year before she was buried, and on the day of the funeral, there were many strange phenomena, could everything be foreshadowed? When Empress Dowager Cixi died, the Qing court was extremely precarious, the West constantly swept and invaded, and the Qing government did not stop cutting the land for compensation. The Qing Dynasty’s treasury was soon empty, the gods and the foolish feudal people were still confused and engrossed in the dream of the kingdom of heaven, making them unable to keep up with the changes of the times, the arrangement of The funeral of King Quang Tu and Empress Dowager Cixi caused great headaches to the ministers, because according to royal rites, the Queen Mother could not be buried at the same time as the Emperor. Everyone knows, the time of death of King Quang Tu and Empress Dowager Cixi was only about 20 hours apart, although while living, Empress Dowager Cixi was extremely powerful, but until she died, she still had to be ranked behind the puppet Emperor. Quang Tu. Therefore, Empress Dowager Cixi’s funeral was forced to be postponed. The funeral of these two people has to spend a large amount of money, the funeral supplies, funeral supplies, funeral rituals all need a long time to prepare. At that time, King Quang Tu’s funeral was held in a hurry and was also very simple, but before his death, Empress Dowager Cixi set strict requirements for her own funeral. Because it took a year for the funeral to take place, so the preparation time was a lot, and it was also extremely expensive. The image of the extremely grand funeral of Empress Dowager Cixi. The Qing court at that time was extremely weak, the Qing aristocracy felt that the more at times like these, the more they could not be looked down upon by Western powers, and had to protect their majesty and face. of the Dai Qing court, so the great ministers spent a lot of time preparing for the funeral of Empress Dowager Cixi. During his lifetime, Tu Hi was very fond of luxury, and also loved to collect all kinds of rare treasures such as pearls, onyx…; The strange treasures buried in her coffin are worth hundreds of millions of taels of silver. When she was alive, Empress Dowager Cixi lived in luxury and wastefulness, until her death, she still did not change her extravagant and luxurious style, taking away 1/5 of the fortune from a Dai Thanh who was on the verge of bankruptcy. withered. It is rumored that, when she died, on her head, Empress Dowager Cixi wore a phoenix hat with precious gems, this gem weighed 4 taels, as big as a bird’s egg, worth up to 100,000 taels of silver, this amount was enough to fostering the entire Beiyang fleet, it was both pitiful and ridiculous. At that time, the Qing Dynasty modernized the military, but they all lacked military expenses, and their military strength compared to other countries was extremely backward. A year later, in the burial scene of Empress Dowager Cixi, the ritual was held like a monarch, with 128 people making coffins and votive goods, countless, no different from the yin soldiers who paved the way. The funeral procession includes the royal family, the great ministers, also nearly 8000 people, the size of the funeral team is extremely solemn, marching on the main road for 5 days and 5 nights. Foreign reporters stood on the observatory, curiously watching the large funeral procession, but in the midst of that monumental scene, two very strange things appeared. The picture was taken on the day of the funeral of Empress Dowager Cixi. 2 strange phenomena appeared on the day of mourning for Empress Dowager Cixi The first is that wherever the funeral procession passes, there is a constant stench. This sudden stench caused the people to kneel and put their hands over their noses. In addition, the coffin-carrying team also discovered that there was blood flowing from the coffin, which eunuch Ly Lien Anh couldn’t wipe it off. This strange incident made the funeral procession afraid and restless, many people said that the stench emitted was because the body had been left to rot for a year, but there was no evidence for everything. Since ancient times, China’s techniques to protect the body from decay have been extremely perfect, as the old Buddha of Dai Thanh, her body must be preserved carefully, no matter what. no matter what, surely do not let Empress Dowager Cixi’s body rot. Until 20 years later, when the warlord Sun Dien Anh excavated the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi, the face of Empress Dowager Cixi was still seen as lifelike, as if she was still alive, this proves that the Empress Dowager Cixi’s body had not yet rotted. If so, the rotten smell of mourning could not have emanated from Empress Dowager Cixi’s coffin. Later people speculated that the people rumored that the stench carried both a curse and a complaint against Empress Dowager Cixi when she was alive for doing harm to the country, and after her death, the bad reputation would still be passed on. thousands of years later, spreading resentment and resentment towards Empress Dowager Cixi. As for the bloody coffin, it is even more mysterious, some say it is a harbinger of heaven, moreover, a bad omen, foreshadowing the decline of the Qing court. Sure enough, it wasn’t long before the Qing dynasty fell. The eunuch Ly Lien Anh felt that this incident was too strange, so he sent an investigator to finally find out the cause. The reason is that the coffin placed in the palace before being buried must also go through many stages, including the stage of incense burning. The image of Cixi’s body next to countless valuable burial objects. Illustration. Incense incense is mainly used to prevent termites and insects, but who would have thought that the person in charge of incense burning for the coffin would carelessly take the wrong type of incense, taking the type of incense called “rat poison incense” to burn the coffin. by Empress Dowager Cixi. This type of incense attracts mice to focus, when smelling it a lot, it will cause the mouse’s senses to bleed. The scent in Empress Dowager Cixi’s coffin attracted the rats, when they entered the coffin, they smelled a large amount of this poisonous smell, so they vomited blood and died. . The cause of the incident that frightened many people was just such a mistake, which made people half believe and half doubt. But it must also be said that in the midst of the dark, scary funeral procession, such strange things happened, indeed, there were many associations, even though Empress Dowager Cixi’s funeral was solemn and popular. however, could not stop the people’s constant reproaches with this ruler. As Empress Dowager Cixi’s soul gradually drifted away from her coffin, the echoes of the fall of the Qing Dynasty drew closer and closer, eventually being drowned out by the guns of Western invaders. Twenty years later, posterity greedily stares at the treasure in Empress Dowager Cixi’s tomb like a hungry tiger stalking its prey. Military leader Ton Dien Anh led a group of people carrying explosives to blow up the entrance to the mausoleum, causing people to stutter, they followed through the zigzag paths to the coffin in the center of the mausoleum, stealing all the gold. silver and jewels in it. Rumor has it that because there are so many treasures, it took this group of dozens of people 7 days and 7 nights to bring all these treasures away. The well-preserved body of Empress Dowager Cixi also withered and withered the moment the coffin lid was flipped open. Illustrations. A powerful empress dowager like Cixi was also humiliated like that. The grave robbers were absorbed in the pile of gold and silver, but did not realize that the body of Empress Dowager Cixi had been thrown out the door, her face buried in mud. The famous Empress Dowager for a while did not expect to die for a few decades and still cannot rest. After the theft of Empress Dowager Cixi’s tomb happened 40 days ago, Emperor Pu Yi hurriedly reburied Empress Dowager Cixi, only this time it had to be greatly simplified. Rumor has it that, when she was buried in the mouth of Empress Dowager Cixi, she took a nightingale pearl, which is extremely rare and has great value. After being taken away by the grave robbers, they passed from one person to another and then gave it to Tong My Linh. Tong My Linh was very interested and used it as a decoration inlaid on shoes, but unfortunately, there was no news of this night pearl in the world anymore. After her death, Empress Dowager Cixi brought many treasures with her, but in the end she still fell into the end with two empty hands, the power to cover the sky is just like the wind blowing clouds, the pearl has a value associated with it. The latter also fell into the hands of others. If the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi did not initially contain so many jewels, it probably would not have attracted the greedy eyes of thieves. A once-powerful woman with a unique aura, after 20 years of death, it was only a mess, the tomb was exploded and split after five years, it was also accidentally covered by history, finally. became the subject of the story of the afterlife and the fanciful thoughts of posterity.

Considering that there was not much fresh water and food left on the Faust, the people on the shore had no hope of saving the poor sailors on this ship. The rescue team has changed the search and rescue objective to finding the wreckage of the ship – because given the current situation, there is a high probability that the ship has sunk. Three days after the disappearance, the situation suddenly changed. It was also what happened that day that made the mystery surrounding Faust even more difficult to explain. At midnight on July 25, Spanish maritime authorities received an urgent radio message that a British ship Duquesa had just returned from South America found a small fishing boat in the middle of the ocean. sea. Sailors on board were waving flashlights and begging for help. The sailors on board the Duquesa determined that at that time the ship that sent out the help signal was located at 28º15´ North latitude, 19 kinh45 West longitude, 190km west of La Palma’s position. Duquesa. The rescue team immediately contacted Duquesa via radio and confirmed that the four people they rescued were Ramón, Eliberto Hernández, Miguel and Julio aboard the Faust. According to the captain of the Duquesa, when the Faust was discovered, the people on board were dehydrated, hungry, red in the face and full of anxiety. After drinking soft drinks, food and cigars provided by the Duquesa, the crew almost regained their energy and strength. The captain of Duquesa offered to tow them back to La Palma, but the crew refused. They said that their ship is in good working order, there are no mechanical failures, power problems, as long as they provide enough fuel, food and water, they can continue to return. The place where Faust was found after the first disappearance, about 190 km from the original destination. Hearing what the crew of the Faust said, the captain of the Duquesa felt a little strange, but he did not investigate carefully, because the four crew members in front of him no longer seemed to have any health problems. healthy and they are very alert. After discussing with the crew of his ship, the captain of Duquesa agreed to the request of the other party. They had been in similar distress before and in their experience, with sufficient water and food supplies, these experienced sailors were often able to save themselves and return. Faust was then refueled for the 18-hour voyage, as well as enough food and fresh water for their return journey. Crew members on board the Duquesa observed them heading east and were expected to arrive at La Palma at 19 o’clock that evening. At this time, the people on the island felt very happy because of that, so they rushed to celebrate, preparing a grand banquet for the returning crew members, the wives and children of four members on the ship. is no exception. Crowds wait at the pier. But when the clock reached 19 o’clock, the people on the island still did not see any trace of the ship, but they still encouraged and comforted each other, believing that the Faust ship would soon return to port in this time. Until midnight, many people were still standing on the pier to wait, all that night, the family members of the members on the ship did not sleep but still tried to wait, intense anxiety and fear began to take over. everyone’s heart. The Faust was saved, but never returned, so where did they go? The name Faust is also a very popular story in Europe. The story goes that Faust was a scholar, an astronomer, a doctor, and an alchemist. He was so hungry for knowledge, that he began to study magic to satisfy his curiosity about all things. Realizing this, one day, Mephistopheles – the demon of hell – appeared before Faust and made a deal: Mephistopheles would serve Faust on earth for a while, doing everything Faust asked. Until Faust comes to a moment where he wants to live forever in that moment, he will die, and Faust’s soul will have to serve Mephistopheles in hell. Mephistopheles’ first job with Faust was to impress Gretchen, the neighbor Faust loved. With the help of Mephistopheles, Faust used his treasures and possessions to win the hearts of the whole Gretchen family. Later, Mephistopheles also caused the deaths of members of Gretchen’s family, to bring Gretchen closer to Faust. Eventually Gretchen became pregnant with Faust. Gretchen’s brother knew about it, and challenged Faust to a duel. With Mephisto’s aid, Faust kills Gretchen’s brother. Knowing this, Gretchen threw the infant into the river. She was later sent to prison for murder. When Faust arrives at the prison and uses Mephisto’s powers to save Gretchen, she refuses. When Faust left the prison, a voice came down from heaven, that the girl’s soul would be saved. Faust continued to use Mephisto’s service to travel the world, possessing all the riches, knowledge, and power of the world. However, the ending of the story is very unclear. There are several versions, Faust is saved by God, the soul goes to Heaven. There are also places where it is said that Faust must obey the agreement and go to hell to serve Mephistopheles

Spotted deer, also known as white-spotted deer and flower deer, native to the forest regions of Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh and India, are the most common deer species in the region. Their belly is white, with a light reddish brown body, with white spots, looking very beautiful. The height at the shoulder is about 90 cm, the weight can reach 85 kg, the life span is about 20 to 30 years. Hawaii originally had only two species of mammals, the gray bat and the seal. After the Bosnians and Europeans arrived on the island, they respectively brought pigs, horses, sheep, goats, cows, rats, rabbits and other mammals; coupled with the fact that Hawaii was an important shipping hub and at the time, species from all over the world were brought ashore by smugglers’ ships, and apparently these exotic species later that have invaded the territory and food of native species and caused many of them to become extinct. According to a 2017 study published in the journal “Nature-Ecology and Evolution,” Hawaii and Florida in the United States are home to the largest numbers of invasive species in islands and continental coastal areas, respectively. globally. The growth and development success of spotted deer in Hawaii can be said to be a model of the invasion of alien species, according to experts’ estimates, there are about 70,000 spotted deer on Molokai Island in when the inhabitants there were only about 7,000 people; The second largest island is Maui, which has about 70,000 spotted deer, while in the other small islands there are about 50,000, the main island of Hawaii is only 16,000 square kilometers but has at least more than 100,000. The reason spotted deer is so successful in Hawaii is because of the vegetation here that the fauna is here – like protozoa, native species lead a very comfortable life, they are stupid and fearful, even they have not yet evolved any defensive skills, such as stinging and venom, which has allowed invaders such as spotted deer, wild boar, and goats to freely forage and reproduce without have any concerns. In addition, there are no aggressive predators and predators here, so spotted deer are not threatened at all, they did not even choose the breeding season, instead young deer were born. year round. This makes their growth almost unrestricted. This led to the ecological destruction of Hawaii by spotted deer. The birds that nest on the ground always have their nests destroyed, the green leaves and young shoots of the plants are also their delicious meal, the fruits, vegetables and sugarcane of the farmers have the same fate. The destruction of green vegetation by spotted deer has increased the fragility of the natural environment on the Hawaiian Islands, the land being washed into the sea, which in turn leads to the degradation of coral reefs. Moreover, spotted deer also provide food for another invasive species, mosquito, and threaten human health and safety; when they die and there are no animals to eat them, this will pollute the environment and form harmful risks to human health. The fragile aquatic environment on the archipelago is also greatly impacted; Spotted deer also love to wriggle across the road, which is also a fatal threat to motorists. Although sacred to Hawaiians and important to the local water supply, Hawaii’s endemic plant species ironwood (Hawaiian apricot tree) that grows in tall forests is also threatened by spotted deer. This plant can take root in volcanic rocks 20 to 25 meters high, when surrounded by clouds and fog, water will condense on the leaves and fall to the ground, condensing into droplets into the reservoir. In fact, ironwood trees are susceptible to two types of fungal infections, forming scars on the bark, before the tree can heal these scars on its own to avoid fungal infection, spotted deer will bite and rub the bark causing the wounds. wounds take longer to heal, eventually causing fatal injuries to the plant. It seems that the spotted deer invasion was really a big deal, although Kamehameha V is hailed as the last emperor of the Kamehameha dynasty, revered as much as the first, but at this point he has clearly created a crisis for the archipelago and has left a big problem for generations to come. Because spotted deer have no natural enemies, the Hawaiians have to hunt deer and consider it a part of traditional culture, especially in rural areas, many families have additional cold storage to store spotted deer meat. . However, most spotted deer in Hawaii live on private land, although a deer hunting license costs as little as $20 a year and can be obtained online, the procedures and processes involved in hunting are complicated. Shooting made the deer hunting efficiency very low. In addition to reaching an agreement with the landowner, each hunter must be accompanied by a Department of Agriculture inspector to conduct a medical examination of wild spotted deer after hunting. There is also another rule that hunters must always follow in terms of humane issues, which is to only fire a single shot against a spotted deer, this bullet must make the prey immediately unconscious. ie, which means you have to shoot at its skull. If you can’t do it, you can only wait until evening, bring military-grade night vision goggles, even use a drone to find the deer you want to hunt, to be able to do this humanely. In addition, US law allows you to provide game meat to people who need it, after which you must pass a few meat tests before you can enjoy them. But Hawaii does not have a legal venison slaughter operation, so even if a commercial deer hunter wanted to sell spotted deer, they would have to transport the spotted deer to the United States for processing, then then shipped back for sale, which makes spotted deer meat here commanding a hefty price tag. Spotted deer are good runners, smart and resilient, so Hawaii plans to build fences in 30% of key areas to protect endangered species from spotted deer – need to build fences nearly 4 meters high to be able to completely stop them, this is certainly a huge investment, difficult to make. Looking at this you might think it’s too complicated, but if Hawaii is located in China, the problem is much simpler, gourmets can quickly return the spotted deer herd to the state it was when they invaded 150 years ago for a short while.

1. When did the earliest models of air conditioners appear? Icon Ancient Egypt Icon Ancient Roman The correct answer is answer A: According to research by archaeologists and historians, the most primitive model of air conditioners appeared from ancient Egypt. To cool the indoor air and avoid the hot and dry desert climate, the ancient Egyptians hung bundles of water-soaked reeds in the windows. When the wind blows through the window, it will bring water vapor into the house. Another way of cooling the ancient Romans was that they surrounded the walls of the house with plumbing, when the water circulated, it would cool the house. Water cooling was also adopted by the medieval Persians. Their system includes wind towers and water tanks that help cool the indoor air. 2. Who came up with the first idea for an air-cooling system? Icon Michael Faraday Icon John Gorrie Icon Benjamin Franklin The correct answer is answer B: Scottish physician John Gorrie (1803-1855) Scottish physician John Gorrie (1803-1855), who gave the first idea of ​​the air-cooling system. Although the model and ideas above were never realized, in 1851, Gorrie was still awarded a patent for a machine that made ice. 3. Who invented the model of air cooling by adding salt to water as it evaporates? Icon Cornelis Drebble Icon Michael Faraday Icon Benjamin Franklin The correct answer is answer A: Beginning with the inventor Cornelis Drebble (1572-1633), he invented a model for cooling the air by adding salt to water as it evaporates. They were introduced to the then king of England, James I, but were not taken seriously. In 1758, the governor of Pennsylvania, Benjamin Franklin (1785-1788) and Professor of Chemistry John Hadley (1731-1764) at Cambridge University experimented and discovered the principle of reducing heat from evaporation. This was an important invention that laid the foundation for later air conditioners. Both Franklin and Hadley realized that the evaporation of a liquid such as alcohol or ether could lower the temperature of an object below the freezing point of water. Both men successfully experimented with evaporation to reduce the temperature of a mercury thermometer tube from 18 degrees Celsius to minus 14 degrees Celsius. By 1820, the British chemist Michael Faraday (1791-1867) made it. successfully experimented with compression and liquefaction of ammonia gas. During his experiments, he realized that evaporating liquid ammonia could cool the surrounding air, and this was one of the premise for later air conditioners. 4. Who first invented the modern air conditioner? Icon Willis Carrier Icon John Gorrie Icon Benjamin Franklin The correct answer is answer A: In 1902, Willis Carrier (1875-1950) invented a model of the air conditioner while working for the Buffalo Forge mechanical company. Willis Carrier was born in New England state (USA), from a young age, she was smart and bright. After graduating from Cornell University, Mr. Carrier worked in a heat-resistant suit. His research saves the company $40,000 per year. With this invention, Carrier is known as the father of the modern air conditioner model that we are using. However, Carrier’s air conditioning system is very large, noisy, extremely expensive and very dangerous because it uses the toxic chemical ammonia to cool the air. In 1911, Carrier continued to introduce “refrigerant formulations with reasonable humidity ratio”, this method of refrigeration is still used in some areas of the refrigeration industry. 5. Where was the Willis Carrier air conditioning system first used? Icon A movie theater Icon A printing factory Icon On the bus The correct answer is B: Willis Carrier’s air conditioning system is used in a printing factory. This system helps control the temperature and also keeps the humidity in the plant. Carrier’s principle of humidifying the air is quite simple, instead of pushing air through the heating tube, the air flowing through the tube is cooled by liquefied ammonia. 6. In what year was the Carrier-built air conditioning system first installed in a home in Minneapolis? Icon 1913 Icon 1914 Icon 1915 The correct answer is B: In 1914, a Carrier-built air conditioning system was installed for the first time in a house in Minneapolis. This machine is 2.1 meters high, 1.8 meters wide and nearly 7 meters long. But this machine has never been used because no one lives in the house. However, homeowners still have to spend more than 60,000 USD per year to maintain the entire house. 7. When was the first movie theater in the US equipped with air conditioning? Icon 1917 Icon 1918 Icon 1919 The correct answer is answer A: The household air conditioner has a height of 2.1 meters, a width of 1.8 meters and a length of nearly 7 meters. However, it has never been used because no one lives in the house but, the owner is a famous gambler who is rich and spends more than $60,000 annually on maintenance. From 1917 to 1930, the cinema was a place for people to enjoy the air cooled by air conditioning. The first movie theater in the US to be equipped with air conditioning was the New Empire Theater in Montgomery, Alabama in 1917. In that year, the Central Park Theater in Chicago also installed an air-conditioning system, which was enthusiastically received by customers. . Especially on summer days, the air conditioner is even more effective. In 1922, Carrier continued to make two breakthroughs in air conditioning. The first is that he replaces the toxic condenser ammonia with another, safer compound, dielene (dichlorethylene). 8. In 1969, the cooling system was fitted in Neil Armstrong’s spacesuit when performing a Moon walk, is it true or false? Icon It’s correct Icon Wrong The correct answer is answer A: In 1969, a cooling system was fitted in the spacesuits of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to combat the conditions in space. These two astronauts wore them while on the Moon walk. Result Please work harder! point

On July 23, 1980, Famous pilot Pham Tuan together with Soviet cosmonaut Viktor Vassilyevich Gorbatko made a space flight on the spacecraft Union 37. He became the first Vietnamese and Asian to fly into space. General Pham Tuan and his companions during the historic space flight. Remember the past, General Pham Tuan said that on that day, to serve the flight into space, Vietnamese pilots were involved a lot, selected for 6-7 months. The selected person must meet the health criteria, understanding and awareness of the universe, in accordance with the program’s standards. After many rounds, there were 4 people in the Soviet Union, including General Pham Tuan. After nearly a month of recruitment examination at Moscow Central Military Hospital, the National Scientific Council called 4 people to announce, at that time everyone was nervous. “I was called in first and it felt like a beauty pageant. Unexpectedly, as soon as the leader of the delegation, all members of the Council shook hands and congratulated him. Then he trained at the space center for about 16 months. On July 21, 1980, Viktor Vassilyevich Gorbatko was named to fly together. Thus, he only knew that he was the main pilot 3 days before the flight time. General Pham Tuan said, about 2 hours before the flight, he had an insecure thought that he had an accident, but the probability was not great. The fleeting thought didn’t faze him, as the training had put a lot of faith in the crew. Bringing injustice for bringing mulberry flowers into space At exactly 1:33 on July 23, 1980 (Hanoi time) at Baikonur Cosmodrome (USSR) the Union 37 spacecraft piloted by Gorbatko and Pham Tuan launched into space. When the Vietnamese national flag was raised, we were officially named in the international space travel map. General Pham Tuan’s image in the historic flight He said, the ship made 142 orbits around the earth, conducted more than 30 aeronautical remote sensing experiments, dissolved mineral samples and plant experiments on mulberry flowers. He recalls: “The first time I saw the rotating earth hovering in the middle of a deep blue space, in zero gravity, it felt very special. The second interesting thing is that day and night only lasts for 90 minutes, of which 60 minutes is daytime, 30 minutes is night. “The plane flew over all the countries, looking through the window I saw the twinkling stars, much bigger and brighter because of the clean space, and then the sun and the moon. I’ve been trying to find my dear S-shaped strip of land to look at. Before that, I also flew a lot of planes, but to fly that high, maybe only once in my life, feeling too proud,” he added. He also said that during the flight, there was a problem, that is, when flying up to prepare for assembly, it should have turned 180 degrees to increase the speed to approach the mother ship, but when it turned 90 degrees, Rotary system failure. I couldn’t check forever so I had to turn off the machine and wait after nearly 90 minutes. The Bulgarian – Soviet flight crew also had a problem and failed to assemble, they had to return to Earth and could not continue their journey, so the crew was quite worried. But in the end it all worked out. General Pham Tuan said, after returning to earth, there were many rumors surrounding him and this flight, especially the story that he was carrying mulberry flowers. Many people have said, “Mr. Pham Tuan was born in the poor low-lying countryside of Thai Binh, specializing in raising ducks to feed pigs. Going to space did not bring anything good, but he brought duckweed. Now duckweed. I don’t know if it’s good or bad.” General Pham Tuan in a meeting with international friends. General Pham Tuan explained: The matter of bringing duckweed must be decided by a team of scientists, not about carrying whatever you like. Strawberry water lily is easy to proliferate, absorb carbon dioxide, and produce oxygen. There are a lot of radioactive rays in the universe, whether it has an effect on humans, on organisms that cause genetic mutations, and bringing the water lily up is for this research purpose.” General Pham Tuan affirmed that all these scandals did not affect his life much in the end, but even made him more determined and more effortful in his work.

The rare, seemingly extinct species of Truong Son Mang has just been discovered by camera traps in Phong Dien Nature Reserve, TT-Hue. Photo: Provided by the Nature Reserve On June 12, information from the leader of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of TT-Hue province said that the local functional forces had just discovered the endemic, rare, and seemingly extinct ungulate through photo traps for many months. Along with that are records of the diverse appearance of many species of birds and wild animals in Phong Dien Nature Reserve. International experts said that it could be Truong Son or Mang Roosevel. Photo: Provided by the Nature Reserve Previously, Phong Dien Nature Reserve Management Board and Viet Nature Conservation Center conducted a survey and set up more than 100 photo traps in the deep forest area of ​​this reserve. The choice of photo traps is located in dangerous areas according to the diagram that coincides with the foraging path of wild animals. In particular, the mission set up photo traps focusing on the habitat of the white-crested Pheasant (Lophura edwardsi). As a result, after 2 months (from March 12 to May 28) setting photo traps in an 11-hectare forest area of ​​Phong Dien Nature Reserve, the team obtained more than 200 photos of 20 species of mammals. and 11 species of birds; in which, the number of photos of wildlife accounts for the majority. Gam civet at Phong Dien Nature Reserve. Photo: Provided by the Nature Reserve Although there were no images of the White Crested Pheasant as the original target, the mission recorded the appearance of some extremely rare animals. In particular, among them are the extinct Truong Son Mang (Muntiacus truongsonensis) and the Red Civet (Chrotogale owstoni) – an endangered animal on the IUCN Red List 2016. According to Mr. Nguyen Dai Anh Tuan, Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of TT-Hue Province, as soon as he received the information, he contacted Dr. Rob Timmins – Technical Director of Saola Foundation, the world’s leading expert on hoofed mammals. clogs to exchange information correctly. The interesting appearance of two individuals of Truong Son Mang – an extremely rare and seemingly extinct species in Vietnam. Photo: Provided by the Nature Reserve From the images sent, Dr. Rob Timmins said that it is not a big Mang. Mr. Rob doubts between Mang Truong Son and Mang roosevel. The special thing is that both of these species are endemic and rare ungulates that have just been discovered or re-discovered in Vietnam and Laos. According to Mr. Le Ngoc Tuan, Director of Phong Dien Nature Reserve, Truong Son Mang has been discovered in the Truong Son mountain range in Vietnam in 1997. Tri Sao. Photo: Provided by the Nature Reserve Although there is not enough data to assess the risk of extinction, it has been a long time since this individual was rediscovered in the TT-Hue forest area. The results show that there are at least 2 individuals of this species in the forest. That fact is extremely valuable for the scientific study of this species. In addition to the Truong Son Mang, the camera traps recorded rare animals such as the star pheasant (Rheinardia ocellata), the golden cash chicken (Polyplectron bicalcaratum), the Central Vietnamese chicken (Arborophila merlini) and some mammals such as the striped rabbit. Nesolagus timminsi), chamois (Capricornis milneedwardsii maritimus)… Moldy Civet Elephant. Photo: Phong Dien NR According to Mr. Tuan, in the study area through recording camera traps, the presence of people is very little; There is no hunting or logging phenomenon. Thereby, reflecting the well-protected research area. However, the fact that there are 20 species of mammals and 11 species of birds recorded through photographic traps located within the study area is still modest, compared to the total area of ​​more than 41,000 ha of the reserve. Cauldron. Photo: Phong Dien NR Star hemorrhoids.

Boiling River. Boiling River Our understanding of the history of the Boiling River (as it relates to humans) comes from two primitive sources: local Amazonians and oil field documents from the early stages of oilfield development. Agua Caliente. Map of the boiling regions of the Soi River, up to the range of the Boiling River merging with other rivers. Ancient history According to tradition, locals say that the Boiling River has existed since “before the days of the great-grandfathers and nuns”. The ancient name of this river is “Shanay-timpishka”, which means “Boiling in the heat of the sun”, although the heat source is likely geothermal. This is a pretty interesting name for a variety of reasons. First, the name speaks for itself as a hypothesis, illustrating how the ancients sought to explain the world around them. Second, the name is in the Amazonian-Quechua dialect which may not be archaic, likely only a few hundred years old. There is certainly a deeper history to explore, and more research will be done to truly understand what the Boiling River meant to the ancestors of the Amazons. Mr. Maestro Juan Flores, shaman of Mayantuyacu, Peru, Boiling River According to Mr. Maestro Juan Flores, shaman of the Mayantuyacu region, Peru, the Boiling River has always been considered a place of great spiritual power. In the past, locals were still afraid to go into the forest of the Boiling River, especially the Mayantuyacu area, in the province of Puerto Inca, western Peru because the jungle is home to very powerful spirits, and There are even man-eating leopards. As a result, only the most powerful magicians (some of whom are ancestors of Mr. Maestro Juan) often visit the river to live with the spirits and learn the art of healing from the spirits. Westerners come to the river In the late 1920s, Peru was looking to expand its Amazon region and better connect with cities like Pucallpa and elsewhere in the country. In 1929, American geologist Robert B. Moran conducted an aerial survey from an airplane for a railway construction project and discovered a large oval mound jutting out of the forest. He immediately identified this as a potential oil reservoir, claiming it to be a salt dome. Below the River. Moran continued to organize field expeditions in 1930, 1931, and 1932. When Moran and his colleagues first encountered the Boiling River, they were concerned that the Agua Caliente Dome was a volcano, not a volcano. are sedimentary structures because geothermal systems can “cook up” oil reserves, rendering them worthless. Fortunately, they found layers of natural oil seeping into other parts of the area (not on the Boiling River) and determined that the river was not of volcanic origin. In their early maps, they referred to the river as “Shanaya” or “Shamaya”, a variation on the name “Shanay-timpishka.” In their accounts of the 1930s, Moran’s group said that “no more than 50 people lived in the area of ​​Agua Caliente”, and that most of them were “descendants of people who came to the area during the outbreak of rubber explosion”. The account also describes “there were a small number of Indians living in the main rivers, where they were rarely seen and their numbers were practically insignificant”. This is consistent with the shaman Maestro Juan’s description that only the most powerful of magicians go to the Boiling River, so few natives live there. Take a sample of 97oC boiling water. We can only guess what the natives had to think, as the oilmen entered this dangerous land of powerful spirits. Finally, Moran and his team confirmed the potential of the Agua Caliente oil field, obtained a concession to develop and exploit the oil field, and in 1938 they successfully drilled the first oil well there. Amazon, in Peru. Over the next 80 years or so, the ownership of Agua Caliente passed through different oil companies. Currently, Maple Energy Company is exploiting this oil field. Since the early 1990s, non-Amazon native visitors have come to the Boiling River region from all over the world, visiting Mayantuyacu and Santuario Huistin for traditional healing. Magus Maestro Santiago Enrique and his wife. Shaman centers on the Boiling River A young shaman has just finished his studies to become a traditional healer and he visits the forest. While walking, he accidentally stepped into a hunter’s trap and was shot in the leg. He was taken to the hospital and the doctors told him he would never walk again. A nurse named Sandra challenged: “If you are a powerful magician, why don’t you heal yourself?” Remembering the stories his grandfather used to tell him about the powerful healing spirits present on the Boiling River, the young mage picked up his crutches and walked into the woods. Maestro shaman Don Juan Flores. At the Boiling River, there was a Came Renaco tree that crossed over the Boiling River, its roots clinging to a rock and its branches submerged in the steam of the river. The young mage healed himself using the sap, bark and leaves of the Came Renaco tree along with the river’s water, and he was able to walk again. It was here that he later founded the healing resort of Mayantuyacu and began his journey like Maestro Juan Flores, or sheripiari Asháninka (healer, shaman). He married the nurse Sandra and together, they run the healing center, helping to treat tourists with ancient Amazonian remedies. Maestro Enrrique, shaman of the Santuario Huistin healing center, was originally a builder and tells how he accepted his call to become a curandero (male physician) after having a dream about the Virgin Mary in the forest. The Lady tells him to fold his tools and draw people to the rain forest to reveal its healing secrets to them. He obeyed and sought guidance from Maestro Juan Flores. After completing his training, he founded his healing center named Santuario Huistin on the Boiling River. Together with his wife Ayme, also a curandera (medicine woman) and shaman, they treat travelers with traditional Amazonian medicine. The rain forest around the Boiling River was destroyed. Why is it still a mystery? Before the oil field exploration and development program, the Soi River was a remote location known only to the locals. When the first oil field development began in the area, the rights and welfare of the indigenous peoples as well as the best for the environment were not taken into account. Moran’s accounts make it clear that the oil workers were initially troubled by the presence of the Boiling River in the area because geothermal systems could “swallow up” oil reserves, make them worthless. Fortunately for the oil miners, they found leaks of natural oil in the area (not in the Boiling River), and could see that the Agua Caliente dome was not a volcano. Although the Soi River was included in the original documents in the oil field rights document, it is reported only as a landmark, and as the original northern boundary of the oil field. Andrés Ruzo sits beside the Boiling River. Over the past 80 years, the rules, regulations and requirements related to oil development in the Amazon (especially with regard to environmental and social issues) have dramatically changed things. From the original mining concession to the present day, it is certain that the Boiling River will be identified as an important cultural site. Geothermal scientist Andrés Ruzo. In 2011, the Peruvian geophysicist’s aunt, Andrés Ruzo, introduced him to the Boiling River, as she had been a visitor to the Mayantuyacu region. The concept of this landmark quickly became clear to Andrés Ruzo through preliminary tests that the river was of geological importance; While sharing his observations with Maestro Juan, Maestro Juan then decided to bless Andrés in the process of studying the sacred river. Then Maestro Enrrique also blessed Andrés. In doing so, they allowed him to become the first geologist to make a detailed study of the Boiling River. Since this time, Andrés Zuro has worked closely with both the Mayantuyacu and Santuario Huistin treatment centers to study the river, protect it, and in the utmost sense of responsibility they have brought it to the world. world.
