  Terrorism in Israel is a common thing, in a bad way. A terrorist attack in the suburbs or in the city center, when people really die, seems to be commonplace. Sure everyone talks about it, many people are very worried and even afraid, but after a day or two, everything returns to normal. But each of us wants to feel secure. In a situation where little depends on you, when someone just decided to go free and shoot, you are left alone, so I personally thought about acquiring and obtaining a license for it.

    Canadian scientists Nick Mandrak from the University of Toronto came to the conclusion that about 20,000 goldfish live in ponds outside Ontario.  In the extreme conditions of the ponds in this area, Goldfish, which were domesticated in Asia, thrive and grow up to 30 cm, crowding out other species.  Despite the fact that these fish have been domesticated, they still remain a representative of the exuberant fauna of Asia.  Goldfish have the ability to release dew hormones into the environment that affect everyone.  This mechanism depends on the amount of resources available to them in a particular reservoir.  As a result, the fish become incredibly large and begin to crowd out other species.  All this is also facilitated by several distinctive features of this species:  1. They are well adapted to hypoxia (low oxygen consumption, which is low in Canadian waters)  2. They multiply quickly  3. Goldfish coexist and promote the reprod...

 The Human Genome Project team has finally completed the mapping of human DNA. Scientists were only able to complete mapping of the entire human genome (determining the position of genes on a chromosome relative to other genes) only about 20 years after most of the work had been done.  A new study this week has succeeded in sequencing the genome without gaps, including 8% of genetic information previously unknown.  The missing data could provide more information about the human evolutionary path as well as our susceptibility to disease.   The authors say that simply by having a complete map of the genome, we can better find and track variations in our DNA that could tell us something about the genetically determined features of our body — work the team is already doing.

 Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock for joking with the actor's wife during the Oscars. Rock joked about Jada's alopecia short hair: "Jada, I love you.  I can't wait for G.I. Jane 2 to come out. Will's wife lost her hair as a result of an illness and Chris Rock, speaking about the film, hints that the main character in G.I.  Jane is bald. After that, Will Smith got up on stage, punched the host in the face and shouted at Rock not to dare to joke about his wife.  “It was the greatest night in the history of television,” the comedian replied.  Will Sit himself received a statuette for the best male role in the film "King Richard". The Best Picture award went to CODA: Child of Deaf Parents.  Jessica Chastain (The Eyes of Tammy Faye) won Best Actress and Jane Campion (Power of the Dog) won Best Director.

 Well, here's the first trailer for Ms. Marvel. It looks like it will be an interesting teenage story, it's a pity that many will scold the series for this ... The trailer opens with extremely entertaining shots, the style is somewhat similar to Reimi and Nolon, they also often like to play with the camera perspective, it looks like the camera work will be on top . The trailer itself is stingy with details, but that's to be expected from the first trailer, which shows us the character, introduces the setting, shows the hero's powers and does not reveal the secrets of the series itself. Special mention is the music! By the way, did anyone notice how Kamala says "Maybe they are right?...", then there is a video sequence of people praying and at this moment she continues "...I spend too much time in fantasy land." She says the last part of the line when the Captain Marvel costume appeared. Do you think this is a coincidence, or is religion meant by ...

 I've been thinking.  If a superhero appears in the world or some kind of team that saves the world, magic, robots that capture us, in short, if some kind of fantasy or sci-fi story takes place, then I will just be as sure as possible that we live in a simulation.  More precisely, in a game where we are just NPCs. No, no, I'm not saying that we're actually living in a simulation.  Just if magic appears, then be prepared for the fact that you are just a strong and cool AI that acts as a regular comoner that passes by the main character and he robs him.
