In Slavutych, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his wife Olena paid tribute to the Ukrainians who eliminated the consequences of the 1986 Chornobyl nuclear power plant accident.
“38 years ago, the Chornobyl disaster occurred. A radiation accident whose consequences went far beyond Ukraine, and even our entire Europe. The world felt that disaster. But still, it was localized. People stood up to defend life and fulfilled their duty,” the Head of the State said.
The memory of heroes — liquidators of the Chornobyl disaster was honored with a minute of silence.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked everyone who protected lives 38 years ago and presented the Orders of Merit of the third class and the Orders “For Courage” of the third class to Chornobyl NPP employees and liquidators of the accident.
The President expressed his respect to all the people in Slavutych for saving us all then and helping Ukraine in the spring of 2022, during the full-scale Russian invasion.
“Slavutych did not submit to the occupiers. It showed its temper. It fought. It defended itself. And we all saw you right here on this square. We also saw the heroism of those of our people who worked shifts at the station during the Russian occupation. People saved Ukraine in 2022, and it is only people, our entire nation, that will defeat Putin. No evil can stand against brave people who do everything to protect life,” he noted.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy also talked to the residents of Slavutych, including the relatives of the captured National Guardsmen, who appealed to the Head of State to return the Chornobyl NPP defenders home.
“We will definitely return everything. Not only our territory, but first of all our people, all our POWs: both military and civilians, warriors of both our Armed Forces and our National Guard. We remember everyone. We will definitely do it,” the President assured.
With the road drainage failing routinely in heavy rain, this was a fairly common picture in the ground floor.
Low-carb diets have become more popular than ever seen before. Cut down on your carbohydrates and eat more protein is what we hear all the time. The question is whether it works and what consequences it has for the body. If you are also hoping for one of the many low-carb diets, then you might want to read here and see what the latest research in the area is about. Woman with belly fat 1 A low-fat diet is better than low-carb diets for fat loss Low-carb is perhaps best for weight loss, but low fat is better for fat loss. Confused? Research shows that low-fat diets give a greater fat loss on the body than low-carb diets. Loss on the body is generally better for your health. Calorie Calorie, lowering fat in the diet, rather than limiting carbohydrates, causes a greater fat loss. The research thus rejects the claim that limiting carbohydrates is necessary for loss of body fat. Fat loss should be the most important objective for those people who want to lose weight. (1) 2 Low-carb diets damage your heart Low-carb diets damage your heart health and increase the risk of heart disease and early death by up to 50%. Research shows that low-carb diets eventually impair the function of our arteries, cause clogged arteries and cause poorer blood flow to the heart. People on low-carb diets replace carbohydrates with proteins, thus giving the increased risk of heart problems. (2) In addition, studies on mice show that those living for a low protein and high cold-reduced diet live about 50% longer than those on low-carb and high protein diet. (3) A study from Harvard University showed that mice that lived for 12 weeks on low-carb diet showed a significant increase in atherosclerosis, building plaque on the arteries in the heart which is the main cause of heart attack and stroke. The study also showed that low-carb diets reduce the body's ability to form new blood vessels. (4) 3 Low-carb cures make you sad and stressed! Has the lump just suddenly become a bit shorter? And releases patience faster? So the answer may be that the body lacks carbohydrates. A group of researchers from Australia followed 160 people on diet for a year. Half of them had to eat carbohydrates, and the rest lived after a low-carb cure. It turned out that after a year, the carbohydrate-eating people were both happier, quieter, less stressed and more focused, compared to the group living after the low-carb principle. The reason for this is that carbohydrates raise mood, trigger stress-reducing chemicals in the brain, how much protein and fatty foods break them down. (5) (6) 4 Low-carb diets make you fatier, not thinner! Low-carb cure can lead to stress and depression. The body has a natural need for carbohydrates. If you live after the low-carb principle, hormone changes occur in the body that can lead to weight gain and fatigue because the body becomes stressed. When the body is stressed, high levels of hormones like Kortisol are produced. Cortisol increases your appetite and can lead to sudden overeating at a meal. (7) (8) (9) 5 Low-carb diets are not durable! It is one thing to follow a low-carb diet for six weeks or 6 months. It's a whole different story if you're going to follow it for a lifetime. Studies have shown that it is much harder to follow a low-carb diet than a high-carb diet. After all, it's basically true that you do not eat too many calories during a day. Harvard University has conducted a study where they followed 320 people on diet. After a year, only 75% of the people on the low-carb diet still followed the cure whereas 90% of the people on the high-carb diet were still strong and followed their diet plan to the point. 6 Low-carb diets give you bloated stomach! Do you think it's the carbohydrates that you can not snap your pants? Then you can think again. According to the National Institute of Digestive Diseases, bloated stomach is a symptom of constipation. Just constipation is a fairly common side effect of a low-carb diet. The study showed that 70% of the participants on a low-carb diet suffered from bloated stomach and constipation. That figure was 30%, with those who followed a high-carb diet. Doctor Arne Astrup, a Danish expert in obesity, concludes that headache, muscle weakness, diarrhea and constipation are common side effects of a low-carb diet such as, for example, Atkins. He states that these side effects may indicate that low-carb diets are not healthy in the long run. 7 People on Low-carb diets, feel cheated! People who follow a Low-carb diet often fall because they miss their carbohydrates. A study, conducted by the University of Toronto, followed 100 women on low-carb and high-carb diets, respectively. After three days, both groups were tested for breakfast where they could eat what they wanted. The group of low-carb diets plumped with calorie and fat-containing empty coal
Gypsum from the Quaternary of Oklahoma, USA.
A mineral is a naturally-occurring, solid, inorganic, crystalline substance having a fairly definite chemical composition and having fairly definite physical properties. At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical. Currently, there are over 6000 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common. Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry. Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.
The sulfate minerals all have one or more sulfate anions (SO4 -2).
Gypsum is a moderately common hydrous calcium sulfate mineral (CaSO4·2H2O). Gypsum has a nonmetallic luster, is usually clearish to whitish, is soft (H≡2), and rather fragile/brittle. Gypsum has 3 cleavage planes, one of which is well developed (“one good cleavage), and the other two are not well developed (“two poor cleavages”). Broken gypsum specimens are frequently thin plates - the consequence of the one good cleavage plane. Unbroken crystals show monoclinic symmetry.
Gypsum has economic value as a mineral. It is the starting ingredient for making plaster and wallboard.
The specimen shown above is an polycrystalline mass of intergrown gypsum crystals from Oklahoma. Many refer to such things as "selenite", which is an unnecessary junior synonym of gypsum. Selenite differs in no way from gypsum. Selenite is gypsum. Use of the term "selenite" should be discouraged.
This Oklahoma gypsum formed by evaporation of rising groundwater that is rich in dissolved minerals ultimately derived from dissolution of ancient evaporite rocks. Sediments through which the groundwater percolated have become incorporated in the gypsum (click on the photo to zoom in and look around).

Final adjustments have been completed, maybe. I removed the wooden 2 drawer file cabinet from under the righthand Ingo table and moved it into the corner where it serves as a table for the printer, scanner and as a result I now have more table top for storage. The shredder got pushed further to the right so there is nothing but some wires under the area I actually use as a desk. Since the contents of the drawers is basically dead wood old papers having the waste basket and lamp in front of the drawers is of little consequence. The few times a year when I need to add or refer to papers stored there I'll just clear a path. I plan on replacing the floor protector that I had been using under the desk chair.

Day 143 - Trip with consequences
Ouch, that will be trouble. Today I have used the open window and made a small trip. It was not long before Oliver was looking for me. So I ran home quickly... But Oliver has caught me and was waiting with an angry look. Since then he has not talked to me and looks bad. What should I do?
Autsch, das wird Ärger geben. Ich habe heute das offene Fenster genutzt und einen kleinen Ausflug gemacht. Es hat nicht lange gedauert, bis Oliver mich gesucht hat. Also bin ich schnell nach Hause gelaufen... aber Oliver hat mich erwischt und wartete schon mit einem bösen Blick. Seit dem hat er nicht mehr mit mir geredet und schaut böse. Was soll ich nur machen?

A Colt Model 1881 Gatling gun in the New York State Military Museum in Saratoga Springs.
Interesting bit of history behind this weapon that I never knew: It was invented by a physician.
Dr. Richard Gatling, the story goes, hoped to reduce the size of armies and therefore the number of people being killed. He thought he could do this by improving the efficiency of the killing, so he invented and patented one of the first workable machine guns, firing 200 shots a minute.
I really can’t follow the logic, myself.
Gatling’s gun saw very limited use in the U.S. Civil War, but new and improved versions were soon in use around the world. It was quickly replaced by faster, more efficient machine guns, though electric-powered Gatling guns that can fire up to 6,000 rounds per minute remain in service today.

This is a modest hommage to the courageous people of Fukushima prefecture. They survived a triple disaster in 2011 and are now, nine years later, still fighting with the consequences. I wish them well in their strugle for their beautiful province and thank them for their kindness during this trip.
Fukushima is the third largest prefecture in Japan (14,000 km²), and one of its least densely populated. The prefecture is divided into three main regions: Aizu in the west, Naka dori in the centre and Hama dori in the east. Aizu is mountainous with snowy winters, while the climate in Hama dori is moderated by the Pacific Ocean.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (福島第一原子力発電所事故 Fukushima Dai-ichi (About this soundpronunciation) genshiryoku hatsudensho jiko) was a nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Ōkuma, Fukushima Prefecture. The disaster was the most severe nuclear accident since the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster and the only other disaster to be given the Level 7 event classification of the International Nuclear Event Scale.
The accident was started by the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011.] On detecting the earthquake, the active reactors automatically shut down their fission reactions. Because of the reactor trips and other grid problems, the electricity supply failed, and the reactors' emergency diesel generators automatically started. Critically, they were powering the pumps that circulated coolant through the reactors' cores to remove decay heat, which continues after fission has ceased. The earthquake generated a 14-meter-high tsunami that swept over the plant's seawall and flooded the plant's lower grounds around the Units 1–4 reactor buildings with sea water, filling the basements and knocking out the emergency generators. The resultant loss-of-coolant accidents led to three nuclear meltdowns, three hydrogen explosions, and the release of radioactive contamination in Units 1, 2 and 3 between 12 and 15 March. The spent fuel pool of previously shut-down Reactor 4 increased in temperature on 15 March due to decay heat from newly added spent fuel rods, but did not boil down sufficiently to expose the fuel.
In the days after the accident, radiation released to the atmosphere forced the government to declare an ever larger evacuation zone around the plant, culminating in an evacuation zone with a 20-kilometer radius. All told, some 154,000 residents evacuated from the communities surrounding the plant due to the rising off-site levels of ambient ionizing radiation caused by airborne radioactive contamination from the damaged reactors.
Large amounts of water contaminated with radioactive isotopes were released into the Pacific Ocean during and after the disaster. Michio Aoyama, a professor of radioisotope geoscience at the Institute of Environmental Radioactivity, has estimated that 18,000 terabecquerel (TBq) of radioactive caesium 137 were released into the Pacific during the accident, and in 2013, 30 gigabecquerel (GBq) of caesium 137 were still flowing into the ocean every day. The plant's operator has since built new walls along the coast and also created a 1.5-kilometer-long "ice wall" of frozen earth to stop the flow of contaminated water.
While there has been ongoing controversy over the health effects of the disaster, a 2014 report by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) and World Health Organization projected no increase in miscarriages, stillbirths or physical and mental disorders in babies born after the accident. An ongoing intensive cleanup program to both decontaminate affected areas and decommission the plant will take 30 to 40 years, plant management estimate.
On 5 July 2012, the National Diet of Japan Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission (NAIIC) found that the causes of the accident had been foreseeable, and that the plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), had failed to meet basic safety requirements such as risk assessment, preparing for containing collateral damage, and developing evacuation plans. At a meeting in Vienna three months after the disaster, the International Atomic Energy Agency faulted lax oversight by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, saying the ministry faced an inherent conflict of interest as the government agency in charge of both regulating and promoting the nuclear power industry. On 12 October 2012, TEPCO admitted for the first time that it had failed to take necessary measures for fear of inviting lawsuits or protests against its nuclear plants.
Unplanned urbanisation directly increases people’s vulnerability to disasters. The economic, social and environmental consequences can be enormous. The ‘multiplier’ effect, where the remaining impact of one disaster is further exacerbated by another, as illustrated in Haiti where a massive earthquake in January was followed by a hurricane in November, further compounds development losses. Here Hurricane Tomas floods the streets of Gonaives, north of Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

The Sierra County Courthouse was built with WPA labor in 1939 (the same year in which The Wizard of Oz was released).
The long and strange name of the county seat comes from the name of the popular radio game show called Truth or Consequences hosted by Ralph Edwards. Edwards promised that he would come to the first town in the country that would change its name in honor of his show. So in the year 1950, this town changed its name, and Edwards came to here every first weekend in May for the next fifty years at which time a community celebration would occur. The town's original name was Hot Springs. So this courthouse was built back when the town went by a different name.
The county's former seat was located at the mining town of Hillsboro. Click on this link to see a picture of the ruins of the 1892 Sierra County Courthouse that still stand there: www.flickr.com/photos/99491151@N00/3152879454/in/set-7215...

Why you do what you do.
'What is inescapable is the truth that all actions produce consequences. In all things, we always choose actions which are pleasurable to do. Sometimes, we forget that these actions, no matter how safe they may seem, can also come with the risk of negative consequences.
The pressing issue is that some unpleasant choices do bring about great and profitable results. Many times, it is easy to pick pleasure today than to pick misfortune or hardship for a better tomorrow. The worst part is when we use things, substances, relationships, jobs, or false emotions to dampen the pain or the discomfort of the negative consequences that haunt us.
In everything, there is always that option to go the extra mile. Every second is a chance to ask disturbing questions about the choices we make. After all, we can only control our personal choices in this world.'
from Edric Chen's blog.
I chose to rant today because I have been spending time chatting with friends who unfortunately have issues with either money, love and work. Beating the sense out of someone was never an easy task (at least for me). You need to be practical, sarcastic and harsh. So for you, yes you, you do not need to settle for partiality. End of story.
As what Coldplay always mentioned in their songs,
'If you will never try, you will never know'
On a lighter note:
My brother is allergic to seafood. I urged him to eat the grilled baby squid from Gerry's Grill because I found it eye-sparkling delicious. He was hesitant at first but nevertheless succumbed to the temptation and enjoyed devouring some. And this was what came after.

Journal Entry, May 23, 2037
Ten years...It's been ten years since this all started, and now, I have nothing. This endless snow has taken everything I once held dear, my family, my friends, my life, but there is one thing that it will never take from me. My humanity. I found a corpse along the road, grey, and frostbitten, no shirt, but at least pants. He deserved better than that.
