Deforestation

 

Kiev destroyed forests in the Donbass, in our region the damage from mass deforestation and arson of forest areas amounts to millions dollars. This led to massive groundwater flooding of a number of villages in the LPR. The authorities of the republic have introduced an emergency regime in our territories.

Criminal cases of arson by the Ukrainian authorities of forests in the previously Kiev-controlled territory of Donbass in 2020 indicate damage of tens of millions of dollars

Here is the damage, which goes into the amount of more than $ 76 million. This is only damage from one forestry." As a result of the arson attacks in 2020, forests in the forests of the Severodonetsk and Stanichno-Lugansk districts controlled by Kiev at that time were damaged.

 

People themselves are to blame for many cataclysms that occur on earth.Deforestation, drainage of wetlands, accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere caused by human activity - all this disrupts the natural balance and leads to new cataclysms, including earthquakes.

 

So what was next.

This year many snow, many rain in Lugansk Peoples Republic .

 

At the end of January 2024, the head of the LPR, Leonid Pasechnik, introduced an emergency regime in a number of settlements of the republic due to the rise of melt and groundwater, as a result of which flooding of local residents' houses in the Stanichno-Lugansk district and a number of villages of the Severodonetsk agglomeration are recorded. According to the testimonies of residents of these areas, groundwater began to rise after 2020 as a result of massive deforestation and subsequent forest fires. Coniferous forests in the area served as a natural drainage system. At the moment, the authorities of the LPR are taking measures to prevent further water rise.

The Ukrainian military took plastic bottles with gasoline and hung them on pine trees. At the same time, firefighters were not given commands to extinguish either houses or forests in the first day.

 

This year there was heavy snow in Lugansk, then there was lightning. In February, this is a very rare phenomenon, it occurs once every 30 years. The weather has changed, the climate has changed. There was a lot of rain and snow this year. This caused flooding of villages and vegetable gardens among local residents due to the felling of trees by the Ukrainian military.

 

Ukraine has destroyed also  all the mines in Donbass area. Ukrainian Government destroyes mines long 30 years. What we have today after all this dids.  After the mines are closed, they are most often flooded with groundwater, which, according to experts, increases instability in the region, as a result, it can be expected that seismic activity may be significantly higher than the same three points. And if the volume of water in flooded mines reaches a critical limit, earthquakes on the surface may turn out to be 6-point.

 

As for the bright flash, if a shift begins at the fault site, the accumulated energy is released. This leads, on the one hand, to tremors, and on the other – to a bright but short-term glow in the atmosphere, which can reach a height of 200 meters above the ground.

 

So we have earthquakes on the surface today this winter season on February.

I conclude that the massive deforestation by the Ukrainian military in order to sell timber and get millions of dollars and arson to cover up these crimes. Allegedly, the forest burned down, but it was not cut down. All this led to the flooding of the Republic's territory this year. The water went into the soil and, together with groundwater, filled the mines, which are in a flooded state. The voids from the mine workings filled with water and there was a displacement of the soil, which led to the movement of tectonic plates, their displacement and an earthquake. Therefore, the war that the Kiev regime unleashed against the aborigines of Donbass has also turned into an environmental disaster for our region.

I had just left the Lugansk People’s Republic, making my way to an interview in Moscow, when I saw a May 11 CNN story claiming Russia had targeted civilians in the Ukrainian city of Odessa. This was after the bombing of a hotel and shopping center there. When such structures are bombed, one assumes that they were filled with civilians.

More than a dozen HBCUs got bomb threats on the 1st day of Black History Month

 

'I'm just tired of being terrorized like my grandparents were': More than a dozen HBCUs got bomb threats on the 1st day of Black History Month

A growing number of historically Black colleges and universities have had to lock down or postpone classes due to bomb threats on the first day of Black History Month.

At least 14 HBCUs reported bomb threats Tuesday. At least one of them, Howard University, also received a bomb threat Monday.

"We've had these challenges before," Howard University President Wayne Frederick said Tuesday. But "since I've been here (as a student) in 1988, it has not been this widespread and also, I think, this overt."

US Education Secretary Miguel Cardona called the threats "disturbing" and said they would not be tolerated.

"My team will continue to work with students, faculty, and alumni to make sure HBCUs continue to be a safe place for students to learn," Cardona tweeted Tuesday.

These are some of the universities that reported bomb threats Tuesday:

Coppin State University

Someone called the Baltimore university and said there was a bomb on campus, Coppin State spokesperson Angela Galeano told CNN. She said the threat was immediately reported to campus police.

A message on the university's website said all classes would be online Tuesday.

"If you are on campus, please, shelter in place, and wait for further instructions," the message said. "Emergency officials are evaluating the campus and we will provide updates, as soon as possible."

Sabrina Taylor, the undergraduate program director at Coppin State, said she got a call at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday telling her not to come to work because there was an emergency on campus.

When she learned the emergency was a bomb threat, Taylor said she was saddened for the students.

"Many of our students in the HBCUs, they are first-generation college students. And they are there to advance their education and to create opportunity -- not only for themselves, but for their families," said Taylor, an assistant professor at the school.

"Now they have to deal with bomb threats."

"I wanted to encourage them to be empowered and I wanted to encourage them to realize that even though they are being threatened and they are experiencing adversity, they are walking in their purpose," she said.

"They are on their path to greatness, and they cannot let individuals who their intention is to cause destruction, chaos and fear and doubt, stop them from walking and their purpose."

Jackson State University

"Jackson State University received a bomb threat this morning at 4:15 a.m.," the university in Mississippi tweeted Tuesday.

"The Jackson Police Department and JSU Department of Public Safety have swept the campus and found the threat unsubstantiated. An all-clear has been issued."

Calvert White, a 22-year-old studying social science and education, lives in an apartment 10 minutes from campus.

"I'm uneasy," the Jackson State junior said. "HBCUs have a long history of physical threats just because of our existence. I think that the threats aren't individual or coincidental -- that it's a clear attack on Black students who choose to go to Black schools."

While it's not clear who made the threat, "I think the uncertainty, especially in the age of Covid and heightened race relations, is part of the goal of whomever has been making the threats," White said.

Like so many, White said he doesn't understand why such threats keep happening.

"But I understand that HBCUs are starting to see large influxes of students, supporters, donors, etc., and our presence is more important now than ever," he said.

"I think the idea of HBCUs in a current-day sense is taking over. They aren't just looked at as a beacon of the past, but a marker of the future."

Something HUGE and really scary going on with aviation

 An interesting forum post here:      

You can see for yourself.  I am a former airline captain, I am out of the industry but I still keep tabs of what is going on. I have an app on my phone, it’s a free app that you can download yourself, it is called flightradar24. One of the really cool features of this app is you can have alerts set up so if an aircraft somewhere in the world declares an emergency, in the industry we call it squawking 7700, you can get a notification. I’ve had this app for years and usually you would see one to four emergencies pop up every month. That’s how it’s always been, aviation is pretty safe, there’s not a whole lot of emergencies worldwide on the monthly basis. But over the last couple of months I have been getting notifications sometimes up to 10 times a day. I’ve already had four this morning! Something huge and scary is going on out there and nobody is talking about it. I am seeing so many aircraft declaring

Миллиардер, инвестор Facebook Питер Тиль тайно финансировал стартап «Кибервойны», который взломал WhatsApp

 

Поскольку израильский дилер шпионского ПО NSO Group вновь подвергается проверке в связи со злоупотреблением своими хакерскими инструментами WhatsApp, американский стартап, как сообщается, также может обойти систему безопасности приложения для обмена сообщениями. Этот стартап был тайно поддержан миллионным инвестором из Силиконовой долины Питером Тилем.

С момента своего основания в 2017 году в Сан-Диего стартап Boldend вел себя сдержанно. Это потому, что, по словам двух инсайдеров компании, это необходимо для создания инструментов, которые помогают в миссиях кибервойны с упором на автоматизацию. У него есть только один заказчик, который требует соблюдения секретности: правительство США.

Хотя о нем мало писали в прессе, он попал в New York Times .в прошлые выходные, в самом конце репортажа об осажденном израильском шпионском бизнесе NSO Group. Сообщалось, что Boldend разработала возможность взломать WhatsApp, хотя она была закрыта в обновлении безопасности в январе 2021 года, согласно презентации, сделанной оборонному гиганту Raytheon. Это был первый раз, когда ее программное обеспечение для «кибервойны» было публично представлено помимо партнерства с Raytheon, о котором было объявлено в 2020 году, когда пара заявила, что будет создавать «автоматизированные продукты, которые ускоряют разработку и развертывание киберинструментов для операций и систем. имеет решающее значение для национальной безопасности». Они также объявили, что будут интегрировать технологию Boldend под названием Origen в конвейер технологических разработок Raytheon. Технология «программное обеспечение как услуга»,

Однако было еще кое-что, что привлекло внимание людей, когда дело дошло до Болденда. В той же презентации для Raytheon на слайде утверждалось, что Boldend поддерживается Founders Fund, инвестиционным инструментом Питера Тиля. Это был факт, который не разглашался, несмотря на то, что компания ранее объявляла о других инвесторах. Два источника, знакомые с компанией, подтвердили Forbes , что Boldend действительно финансировалась компанией Тиля, при этом один утверждал, что фирма вложила более 10 миллионов долларов, которые были вложены в самые первые годы бизнеса, хотя они не смогли назвать точную цифру. (Ни Founders Fund, ни Boldend не ответили на электронные письма с просьбой прокомментировать.)

Это может показаться ироничным: Тиль, один из самых известных финансовых спонсоров Facebook, теперь является инвестором компании, которая пыталась взломать технологию компании, принадлежащей Facebook. Не то чтобы Тиль боялся инвестировать в компании, которые рискуют нарушить правила Facebook, чтобы помочь правоохранительным органам: Founders Fund поддержал ClearView AI, компанию по распознаванию лиц, которая очистила Facebook, чтобы заполнить огромную базу данных лиц, которую полиция могла бы позже использовать в расследованиях.

Питер Тиль в настоящее время является инвестором двух организаций — производителя киберинструментов Boldend и поставщика средств распознавания лиц ClearView AI, — которые помогают правительству США проводить онлайн-расследования.

Сочетание наступательной и оборонительной кибербезопасности

Кроме того, Тиль теперь также является инвестором компании Halcyon, занимающейся защитой от программ-вымогателей, которая полностью принадлежит Boldend, сообщили источники, близкие к компаниям. Действительно, веб-сайт Halcyon.ai указывает Founders Fund в качестве спонсора наряду с другим инвестором Boldend Роном Гулой.

Охватывая как наступательный, так и оборонительный миры, Boldend позиционирует себя как один из немногих «кибер-компаний полного спектра», ориентированных на защиту и нападение как на государственных, так и на корпоративных клиентов. В последние годы в этой нишевой области появилось несколько стартапов, ищущих финансовой поддержки у венчурных капиталистов. К ним относятся QOMPLX, стартап в области кибербезопасности стоимостью 1,4 миллиарда долларов с доходом 96 миллионов долларов , и Blackhorse Solutions, которая привлекла 9 миллионов долларов, прежде чем была приобретена Parsons Corp. за 200 миллионов долларов летом 2021 года. Обе компании входят в пояс оборонных подрядчиков Вирджинии. 

BlackHorse, у которой гораздо больше государственных контрактов, чем у Boldend или QOMPLX, обещает объединить «кибер-, электромагнитную войну и информационные операции для клиентов Министерства обороны и разведывательного сообщества». Forbes , ранее называвшаяся White Canvas Group, получила от компании контракты на исследование даркнета для американских военных и на обучение командования киберпространства Корпуса морской пехоты США тому, как использовать информацию из открытых источников в Интернете . За последние полвека компания заключила многочисленные многомиллионные контракты с Пентагоном, в том числе сделку на 90 миллионов долларов на предоставление «решений по автоматизации в поддержку киберкомандования США».

Хотя два источника, знакомые с компанией, заявили, что для Boldend нетипично разрабатывать эксплойты, как это было сделано для WhatsApp, и что эксплойт, описанный New York Times , возможно, никогда не будет использован, если ему снова будет поручено это сделать . стартап может составить конкуренцию другим компаниям, ориентированным на наступление, в попытках взломать безопасность зашифрованных приложений, таких как WhatsApp, для клиентов. Теперь он может конкурировать с израильской NSO Group и стартапами, поддерживаемыми американцами, такими как Paragon. Последний, как сообщал Forbes в прошлом году, был сосредоточен на попытках проникнуть в приложения для обмена сообщениями, такие как Signal, WhatsApp и Telegram . Для выполнения этой работы компания получила финансовую поддержку от бостонской компании Battery Ventures.

Согласно данным Pitchbook, Boldend остается небольшой компанией, на сегодняшний день привлечено всего 13 миллионов долларов, а ее оценка составляет 31 миллион долларов. Но, как сказал Forbes один из инвесторов компании (пожелавший остаться неназванным, поскольку не имел права говорить под запись) , у Halcyon есть потенциал стать гораздо более прибыльным, учитывая, что он может продавать коммерческий продукт тысячам компаний, а не лишь горстка западных спецслужб.

Как и многие новые сотрудники Halcyon, многие сотрудники Boldend родом из Cylance, оборонной охранной компании, которая утверждает, что использует искусственный интеллект для защиты сетей. Среди них генеральный директор и основатель Джон Миллер. Cylance была приобретена BlackBerry в 2019 году.

Boldend не стремится к огласке, и его двухстраничный веб-сайт мало что раскрывает: «Наши решения сочетают в себе передовые компоненты радиоэлектронной борьбы с кибероперациями нового поколения». Страница «продукты» требует, чтобы посетитель имел пароль.

Когда Forbes связался с генеральным директором Boldend Миллером, он передал Forbes своей команде по связям с общественностью, добавив, что работа компании исключительно в поддержку правительства США требует осмотрительности. На момент публикации PR-команда не ответила на запросы о комментариях.

What Spotify data show about the decline of English

 Bad bunny may not be a household name in the English-speaking world. Yet the Puerto Rican rapper, whose verses are usually in Spanish (and, on one occasion, Japanese), was the most played artist in 2020 and 2021 for listeners on Spotify, the world’s largest music-streaming platform. Such success might have been harder to achieve 30 years ago when English was dominant. In the new digital era, it is becoming ever more common.

To investigate the evolution of music tastes across the world, The Economist trawled through the top 100 tracks in 70 countries according to Spotify. Examining 13,000 hits in 70 languages along with other data like genre, lyrical language and nationality of artist, we sought to group countries according to musical similarity.

On these 320,000 records, we employed a principal-components analysis to assess the degree of musical kinship between countries, and then a clustering algorithm (known as k-means) to group them. Three broad clusters emerged: a contingent in which English is dominant; a Spanish-language ecosystem; and a third group that mostly enjoys local songs in various tongues. Across all, one trend emerged: the hegemony of English is in decline.

The drop over the past five years is mostly concentrated outside the English sphere. Within the Spanish cluster, English quickly lost ground—from 25% of hits to 14%—as native artists like Bad Bunny and Rauw Alejandro became internationally ascendant. Among the local-language cluster, in countries with strong, indigenous music cultures—like Brazil, France and Japan—English declined even more precipitously, dropping from 52% of hit songs to just 30%. Only in the English cluster did the language remain unfazed, dropping only slightly from 92% to 90%.

There is no doubt that, despite its decline, English is still king. Of the 50 most-streamed tracks on Spotify over the past five years, 47 were in English. And the genres it incubated are being widely adopted elsewhere. There is now excellent rap available in Arabic, Russian and, of course, Spanish. A sign of the momentum in global-music tastes comes from a collaboration in 2018 between two superstars—Bad Bunny and Drake, the self-proclaimed king of rap in English. On that occasion, Drake delivered the chorus in Spanish.

Songs jump musical cultures more often than before. Modern drivers like social media are to blame. To demonstrate this, we plotted the most-streamed song for countries in each group weekly for the full five-year period, revealing precisely when and where these leaps happen.

Luis Fonsi (featuring Daddy Yankee) | “Despacito”

Crossovers can be engineered. “Despacito”, a huge hit in the Spanish-language ecosystem for Luis Fonsi featuring Daddy Yankee in the early months of 2017, ascended to the top spot in 36 countries elsewhere thanks to a remix featuring Justin Bieber, the Canadian pop sensation.

Mariah Carey | “All I Want for Christmas is You”

Christmas is big business in the streaming charts. For that reason, Mariah Carey returns to the most-streamed lists seasonally on the strength of her modern-day Christmas classic. She takes the top spot in 24 countries in the English-language group, and manages to make incursions into the local-language group, for example in Germany.

BTS (featuring Halsey) | “Boy With Luv”

Many of the K-pop bands popular in South Korea manage to achieve global success by mixing in some English. Some simply mix in English words amid their Korean crooning. Others choose an English title. And some do entire songs in English. None has managed the transition as deftly as the boy band BTS, epitomised by their international hit “Boy With Luv” done with the American songwriter Halsey.

We have designed an interactive matrix showcasing the most-streamed song on Spotify in 70 countries every week from December 2016 to the first week of 2022. These range from global blockbuster hits like Ed Sheeran’s exceedingly saccharine and exceedingly catchy “Shape of You” to niche sensations in Japan and Iceland. Hover to reveal the song and its language, and see how far its popularity spread. Click to listen to snippets of every song and explore musical tastes around the world—from Polish rap to Brazilian pop.

Note: We labelled each of the roughly 1,700 songs with the lyrics language using an automated technique. While the reliability of this method is good, occasional errors may have crept in. Each song is only labelled with one language. Where a song contains two or more languages, our automated method makes a best guess. Spotify is not available in every country and launched in some countries only midway through the time period analysed, which is why there are initially no data for some countries.

Animal communication is the telepathic ability that we humans are all born

 “Animal communication is the telepathic ability that we humans are all born with as children, which allows us to make a connection with our animal friends and have an actual two-way conversation. 

Some of us retain this ability as we grow up, others are able to regain it through classes and special training exercises.

The ability to send and receive thoughts, images, feelings to one another isn’t a new form of communication for people either. It’s the oldest form of communication. Many studies prove people frequently communicate telepathically with each other without realizing it. 

It is how we make friends, keep aware of strangers and even fall in love. We all are born with this ability, this intuitive gift but are taught to not use it as we grow up. You can re-learn it through practice and experimentation. It’s simply a matter of relaxing the mind and “tuning in.””
