@MbarkCherguia Yes! Before becoming a photographer, I was a hunter of edible game when I was very young
Never for trophy. I know of giant store that has an actual Giraffe mounted! I was sickened.

@PDChina Apparently not the alleged evildoers that we have heard for years. They do construction projects in a month that we take 6 months or more to accomplish.
We used to be the most capable nation on the planet.
Of course we buy everything from China.

China launched its self-developed world’s largest pile-driving vessel in Nantong, east China’s Jiangsu Province on Tuesday, marking a milestone in the country's marine engineering equipment manufacturing industry. Measuring 130 meters in length and 40 meters in width, the vessel is equipped with a 156-meter-high derrick, capable of handling pile foundations weighing up to 700 tonnes with a diameter of seven meters, while achieving centimeter-level positioning accuracy.

@MaestraAzor @AJEnglish Ignorant of history at best. Anti—-at worst.

@AJEnglish Because Israel has no identity, culture, nor history it seems to relish destroying other people’s’/countries’ legitimate ties to their own lands.
Envy/jealousy is a dangerous evil thing when combined with the power to destroy.

Iran’s Heritage Minister Reza Salehi Amiri tells Al Jazeera damage to 56 museums and historical monuments is a ‘deliberate war’ on the country’s identity aje.news/7udneq

@AJEnglish Hardly military targets. If true, it is a blight against all humanity. I am a supporter of inhibiting Iran’ regime in many stated ways. However, the collateral damage is a travesty and sad. This is a heritage that has a part in nation building. It contributes to the good parts.

Iran published a list of Steel manufacturing facilities in Israel (Yehuda Steel), Saudi Arabia (Hadeed), UAE (Emirates Steel Arkan), Kuwait (KWT Steel), Qatar (Qatar Steel) and Bahrain (Foulath) as their new target list in retaliation to air strikes to Iranian Steel factories in Isfahan and Khuzestan.

@mhmiranusa Aah but why not hit Israel where it hurts the most - hit the likes of Intel which employ 10,000 highly skilled tech professionals?

@Timmy_Cypher @Smith_WessonInc More people have been killed with .22 than any single others. More precision is required but likely scenario in the this case would be close quarters. Whenever someone inevitably says “mouse gun”, I could say: “can I test it out on you?”

@Smith_WessonInc .22 long rifle, the “kill ya later” round. That was a waste of money. All they were gonna do is piss off whoever they shot with it.

@washingtonpost Great. Impede progress you cannot even compute. Ai is already uncontrollable in reality. But make some new laws that are unenforceable. Do something positive to help people, or animals, or something! Negativity begets negativity!

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) introduced a bill to block the construction of new data centers until lawmakers enact regulations on AI.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) is planning to introduce a similar House bill in the coming weeks. wapo.st/4tbhxGE

@PhysInHistory Maybe so. But the illusion functions in real time. This especially true of Human touch.

@IntEngineering I am not a researcher nor scientist. However it would seem that long dead follicles would stay that way. Maybe if applied very early stage it could join the “rat pack”.
If successful, please bathe me after I’m dead!
English

Researchers at National Taiwan University have created a topical serum made from monounsaturated fatty acids that triggered rapid hair growth in mice within 20 days by activating fat-cell signals beneath the skin. The study, published in Cell Metabolism, also showed early lab-tests on human follicles and is now moving toward human trials. While promising, the treatment is still experimental and not yet proven for people. Could this be the next big breakthrough in hair-loss treatment?

@CNN Only problem is that Columbus didn’t discover Mainland North America. Amerigo Vespucci did! Hence, the name “America”.
Keep the holiday. Don’t rewrite history.
English

A statue of Christopher Columbus has been erected outside of an ornate federal office building on the White House grounds — the latest sign of the Trump administration's efforts to reshape cultural and historical representations across the nation's capital.
The installation of the statue — which is a replica of one toppled in Baltimore during racial justice protests in 2020 — occurred over the weekend outside of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. cnn.it/4svvtLA

@PhysInHistory The German research on building the nuke was racing on while some scientists defected. If the US did not finish first…!

@PhysInHistory Where do we find such persons today? He was brilliant, humble, respectful, intelligent to the extreme.

Niels Bohr's 1944 letter to Winston Churchill explaining him the scale of the Manhattan Project✉️
22nd May 1944
The Rt. Hon. Winston S. Churchill, C.H., M.P.
Sir,
In accordance with your kind permission, I have the honour to send you a brief report about my impressions of the great Anglo-American enterprise, in the scientific aspects of which I have been given the opportunity to participate together with my British colleagues.
The principles on which the enormous energy stored in the nuclei of atoms may be released for practical purposes were, as a result of international scientific collaboration, already perceived in outline before the war and are, therefore, common knowledge to physicists all over the world. It was, however, by no means certain whether the task would surpass human resources, and it was therefore a revelation to me, on my arrival in England last October, to learn with what courage and foresight the effort had been undertaken and what an advanced stage the work had already reached.
In fact, what until a few years ago might be considered as a fantastic dream is at present being realized within great laboratories and huge production plants secretly erected in some of the most solitary regions of the United States. There a larger group of physicists than ever before collected for a single purpose, working hand in hand with a whole army of engineers and technicians, are preparing new materials capable of an immense energy release, and are developing ingenious devices for the most effective use of these materials.
To everyone who is given the opportunity to see for himself the refined laboratory equipment and the gigantic production machinery, it is an unforgettable experience, of which words can only give a poor impression. Moreover it was to me a special pleasure to witness the most harmonious and enthusiastic cooperation between the British and American colleagues, and on my departure I was expressly asked by the leaders of the American organization to convey their genuine appreciation of the help they are receiving, on an ever increasing scale, from their British collaborators.
I will not tire you with any technical details, but one cannot help comparing the situation with that of the alchemists of former days, groping in the dark in their vain efforts to make gold. To-day physicists and engineers are, on the basis of firmly established knowledge, controlling and directing violent reactions by which new materials far more precious than gold are built up, atom by atom. These processes are in fact similar to those which took place in the early stages of development of the universe and still go on in the turbulent and flaming interior of the stars.
The whole undertaking constitutes, indeed, a far deeper interference with the natural course of events than anything ever before attempted, and it must be realized that the success of the endeavours has created a quite new situation as regards human resources. The revolution in industrial development which may result in coming years cannot at present be surveyed, but the fact of immediate preponderance is, that a weapon of devastating power far beyond any previous possibilities and imagination will soon become available.
The lead in the efforts to master such mighty forces of nature, hitherto beyond human reach, which by good fortune has been achieved by the two great free nations, entails the greatest promises for the future. The responsibility for handling the situation rests, of course, with the statesmen alone. The scientists who are brought into confidence can only offer the statesmen all such information about technical matters as may be of importance for their decisions.
In this connection it is significant that the enterprise, immense as it is, has still proved to demand a much smaller effort than might have been anticipated, and that the development of the work has continually revealed unsuspected possibilities for facilitating the production of the materials and for intensifying their effects.
These circumstances obviously have an important bearing on the question of an eventual competition about the formidable weapon, and on the problem of establishing an effective control, and might therefore perhaps influence the judgment of the statesmen as to how the present favourable situation can best be turned to lasting advantage for the cause of freedom and world security.
I hope you will permit me to say that I am afraid that, at the personal interview with which you honoured me, I may not have given you the right impression of the confidential conversation in Washington on which I reported. It was, indeed, far from my mind to venture any comment about the way in which the great joint enterprise has been so happily arranged by the statesmen; I wished rather to give expression to the profound conviction I have met everywhere on my journey that the hope for the future lies above all in the most brotherly friendship between the British Commonwealth and the United States.
It was just this spirit of co-operation that the President’s friend [Felix Frankfurter], believing the matter to be of the highest importance for the two countries, and knowing that, at the Chancellor’s request, I was coming to England for technical consultations, entrusted me, in strictest confidence, to convey to you, that the President is deeply occupied in his own mind with the stupendous consequences of the project, in which he sees grave dangers, but also unique opportunities, and that he hopes together with you to find ways of handling the situation to the greatest benefit of all mankind.
Most respectfully,
Niels Bohr
