Бесстрашный Trump в ожидании 8 апреля 2024

Или 4/8/24, например 😎
В 2017 Президент США всем про-демон-стрировал. Не сразу он очки надел, наблюдая за - тогда частичным - затмением самого (!) Солнца.

Нынче ставки выше! - ровно семь месяцев - и очередные выборы. Если вообще. Чемпионат мира по футболу-соккеру в этих Штатах запланированы. Мало ли что.

8 апреля сего года весь мир - частично. А в США - ПОЛНОЕ затмение. Ух!

Масоны, иезуиты и проч. мн.др. Увидят собственными глазами. Вжик. Unknown Planet - как обычно. You know 🤩

Malevich for the XXI Century

Kazimir Malevich (born in 1878, near Kyiv, Russian Empire [now in Ukraine]—died in 1935 in Leningrad, Russia, U.S.S.R. [now St. Petersburg, Russia]), avant-garde painter who was the founder of the Suprematist school of abstract painting.

Malevich, who was born to parents of Polish origin, studied drawing in Kyiv and then attended the Stroganov School in Moscow and the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture.

In his early work he followed Impressionism as well as Symbolism and Fauvism, and, after a trip to Paris in 1912, he was influenced by Pablo Picasso and Cubism.

On a 1927 visit to the Bauhaus in Dessau, Germany, he met Wassily Kandinsky and published a book on his theory under the title Die gegenstandslose Welt (The Non-objective World).....
Later [after 1929], when Soviet politicians decided against modern art, Malevich and his art fell out of favour. During his last years, his works show a return to figuration. Malevich died from cancer in poverty and oblivion.

Ideas Unlimited
***..By the end of three months Jonathan had six other students, Outcasts all, yet curious about this strange new idea of flight for the joy of flying.

Still, it was easier for them to practice high performance than it was to understand the reason behind it. "Each of us is in truth an idea of the Great Gull, an unlimited idea of freedom," Jonathan would say in the evenings on the beach, "and precision flying is a step toward expressing our real nature.

Everything that limits us we have to put aside. That's why all this high-speed practice, and low speed, and aerobatics...."

...and his students would be asleep, exhausted from the day's flying. They liked the practice, because it was fast and exciting and it fed a hunger for learning that grew with every lesson.

But not one of them, not even Fletcher Lynd Gull, had come to believe that the flight of ideas could possibly be as real as the flight of wind and feather.

Bees and We 🤩

American photographer Karine Aignerwas announced as this year’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year for her remarkable image of a buzzing ball of cactus bees spinning over the hot sand on a Texas ranch.

In her bee-level close-up, all except one are males and they are intent on mating with the single female at the centre.

Like most bees, they are threatened by habitat loss, pesticides,and climate change, as well as farming practices that disrupt their nesting grounds.

Neanderthals, Covid and We All: Unknown Planet 😂

Svante Pääbo, a Swedish scientist who peered back into human history by retrieving genetic material from 40,000-year-old bones, producing a complete Neanderthal genome and launching the field of ancient DNA studies, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, 2022.

Dr. Pääbo unveiled the Neanderthal genome. This is said to help scientists track genetic differences in modern humans and understand what role those differences play in disease, including Covid-19.

In 2020, Dr. Pääbo and a colleague found that the coronavirus caused more severe symptoms in people who had inherited a stretch of Neanderthal DNA.

There was already archaeological evidence that before Neanderthals disappeared about 30,000 years ago, they had lived in Europe and Asia beside the ancestors of modern humans, who had migrated there from Africa.

The prevailing belief was that modern humans were so distinctive that they had not had children with Neanderthals.

Modern humans and Neanderthals share a common ancestor that lived some 600,000 years ago.

Analyses of the Neanderthal genome showed that modern humans and Neanderthals interbred all the time...

The research found that people currently living in Europe and Asia derive 1 to 4 percent of their genomes from Neanderthals.

There is no record of Neanderthals in Africa, meaning that they did not directly contribute to the genomes of people there, but scientists believe that other early human species probably did.

Among the research that has grown out of Dr. Pääbo’s work was the finding by him and Dr. Zeberg in 2020 that people with a stretch of DNA passed down from Neanderthals 60,000 years ago were at greater risk of severe illness from the coronavirus.

Knowing that people with Neanderthal ancestry are at greater risk for a disease can help to distinguish populations that are in more danger.

In the case of the genes implicated in severe Covid, almost one-third of people in South Asia were known to have inherited that segment of the Neanderthal genome.

Musical Unknown Planet - casting references and tips for composers, artists and directors

Exotic fantasies, bright erotic baroque/rococo 😍 directly from the 18th century - keeping in mind Immortality Now + Meanings of Arts

By the link - a scene from a modern version of the opera-ballet "Amorous Indies" (Les Indes galantes) with its 4 acts of adventures outside of Europe:

1) "Magnanimous Turk" - in Turkey
2) "Incas" - in Peru
3) "Flowers" - in Persia
4) "Savages" - in North America.

The protagonist is a "natural man" in accordance with ideas of French philosophers Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1788) and Claude Helvetius (1715-1771).

Incas, Persians, Turks and Indians are refined and virtuous: no match for cynical, greedy and cruel Europeans.

As the encyclopedist Denis Diderot (1713-1784) put it: "Their barbarism is less vicious than our urban civilization."

In this opera, "savages" are an example of nobility of feelings, fearlessness and generosity.

Premiere - in Paris in 1735. Composer: Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764).

The picture is the work of Jean-Marc Nattier (1685-1766): "H**e" - the goddess of youth and beauty, the character of this opera-ballet.

Immortality Now for\in the USA 😎

Expand Market Opportunities for Bio-based Products.

The BioPreferred Program is the standard for sustainable procurement by government agencies, both providing an alternative to petroleum-based products and supporting good-paying jobs for American workers.

The Initiative will increase mandatory bio-based purchasing by Federal agencies, including through training and support for contracting officers, and ensure that the Office of Management and Budget and the U.S. Department of Agriculture are regularly publishing assessments of progress.

In so doing, it will provide specific directions to industry about gaps in biobased product options, leading to the creation of new products and new markets.

Together, the Initiative will grow and strengthen the BioPreferred Program, increase the use of renewable agricultural materials, and position American companies to continue to lead the world in bio-innovation.

Drive Research and Development (R&D) to Solve Our Greatest Challenges.

Focused government support for biotechnology can quickly produce solutions, as seen with the first-of-their-kind mRNA vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This Initiative directs Federal agencies to identify priority R&D needs to translate bioscience and biotechnology discoveries into medical breakthroughs, climate change solutions, food and agricultural innovation, and stronger U.S. supply chains.

Prince Charles has waited his entire life to ascend to the British throne. But after the Queen’s death, he immediately finds himself wrestling his conscience over a bill to sign into law.

His hesitation detonates a constitutional and political crisis and his family start to worry; William and Kate becoming aware his actions may threaten their future.

Meanwhile an unhappy and frustrated Prince Harry starts a relationship with a 'commoner’, just at the moment that the press is looking for a way to attack…

With the future of the monarchy under threat, protests on the streets, and his family in disarray, Charles must grapple with his own identity and purpose, to decide whether, in the twenty-first century, the British crown still has any real power.

Starring Tim Pigott-Smith (Downton Abbey, The Hour), Charlotte Riley (Close To The Enemy, Peaky Blinders) and Adam James (Doctor Foster, Grantchester) this is a timely and unique examination of the British monarchy.

Radio, Vatican and We All. How about Tesla? 😇
***
Guglielmo Giovanni Maria Marconi, 1st Marquis of Marconi FRSA (Italian: [ɡuʎˈʎɛlmo marˈkoːni]; 1874 - 1937) was an Italian inventor and electrical engineer, known for his creation of a practical radio wave-based wireless telegraph system.

This led to Marconi being credited as the inventor of radio, and he shared the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics with Karl Ferdinand Braun "in recognition of their contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy".

Marconi was also an entrepreneur, businessman, and founder of The Wireless Telegraph & Signal Company in the United Kingdom in 1897 (which became the Marconi Company).

In 1929, Marconi was ennobled as a Marchese (marquis) by King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy, and, in 1931, he set up Vatican Radio for Pope Pius XI.

Japan's population down 644,000 in 2021

Japan's population had its largest drop on record, falling by 644,000 to just over 125.5 million in 2021, reflecting a decline in foreign residents amid tighter border controls over the coronavirus pandemic and the rapidly aging society.

The population stood at 125,502,000 as of Oct 1, down 644,000 from a year earlier for the 11th consecutive year of decline.

The drop was the biggest since data available in 1950.

The number of foreign nationals living in Japan dropped by 25,000 to 2,722,000 following the strict border controls that were put in place to mitigate imported coronavirus cases.

Japanese nationals totaled 122,780,000, a drop of 618,000 from a year earlier.

Japan saw 831,000 births in 2021, and 1.44 million deaths.

Japan faces the dual challenge of a declining workforce and a graying population. However, the pace of population decline had slowed in recent years, helped by an increase in foreign workers coming to the country under a relaxed visa system to help ease the labor shortage.

But the coronavirus border controls prevented businesses struggling with labor shortages from hiring foreign workers and prompted the business community to call for easing the measure.
The working population, or people between 15 and 64, dropped by 584,000 to 74,504,000, accounting for 59.4 percent of the overall population, a record low.

Those 14 and below accounted for an all-time low of 11.8 percent of the total population, while people 65 and over made up a record high of 28.9 percent.

Staying Alive

"The thing that puzzles you," he said, "is an accepted saying that
happens to be impossible. The phrase is hurt somebody else.

We choose, ourselves, to be hurt or not to be hurt, no matter what. Us who decides. Nobody else.

My vampire told you he'd be hurt if you didn't let him? That's his decision to be hurt, that's his choice. What you do about it is your decision, your choice: give him blood; ignore him; tie him up; drive a stake of holly through his heart.

If he doesn't want the holly stake, he's free to resist, in whatever way he wants. It goes on and on, choices, choices."

"When you look at it that way . . ."
"Listen " he said, "it's important. We are all. Free. To do. Whatever. We want. To do.".....................................
"As always. Richard, you are going to lose 90 percent of your audience unless you learn to keep it short!"

"Well, what's wrong with losing ninety percent of my audience?" I shot back at him.
"What's wrong with losing ALL my audience? I know what I know and I talk what I talk! And if that's wrong then that's just too bad. The airplane rides are three dollars, cash!"

"You know what?" Shimoda stood up, brushing the hay off his blue
jeans.
"What?" I said petulantly.
"You just graduated. How does it feel to be a Master?"
"Frustrating as hell."

He looked at me with an infinitesimal smile. "You get used to it," he said. Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: If you're alive, it isn't.
