“Utsurobune”: A UFO Legend from Nineteenth-Century Japan n 1803, a round vessel drifted ashore on the Japanese coast and a beautiful woman emerged, wearing strange clothing and carrying a box. She was unable to communicate with the locals, and her craft was marked with mysterious writing. This story of an utsurobune, or “hollow ship,” in the province of Hitachi (now Ibaraki Prefecture) is found in many records of the Edo period (1603–1868), and Tanaka Kazuo, professor emeritus at Gifu University, has studied the topic for many years. What drew him away from his main research area, applied

Julia Butterfly Hill lived for 738 days, from December 1997 to December 1999, in the canopy of a giant 1500 year old redwood tree named Luna. She ended her revolutionary action when an agreement was made with Pacific Lumber Company to spare the tree and a 200 foot buffer zone surrounding the tree. https://treesisters.org/blog/the-amazing-story-of-julia-butterfly-hill

Ja sam operisao slepo crevo u privatnoj bolnici u Novom Sadu, i platio iz svog džepa, naravno, i operaciju i bolničke dane i sve što treba. Zato što su mi u državnoj bolnici rekli da nije strašno, hronična upala, neće me to ubiti, mogu eventualno da dođem na red za par godina, ili kad upala pređe u akutnu. A mene je baš bolelo, neprestano, mesecima. Eto toliko o mom iskustvu sa državnim bolnicama u većem gradu u Srbiji. To je bilo 2009, kad sam ujedno i prestao da plaćam zdravstveno osiguranje. Ako su frilenseri operisali svoje slepo crevo od para koje sam ja uplatio u zdravstveni budžet do te

Nešto mi nije jasno. Ako ti to privatno osiguranje koje ti firma plaća ne pokriva hirurgiju i teške bolesti, a upravo su to slučajevi koji najviše koštaju, koja je onda svrha tog osiguranja? Meni se čini da je suština zdravstvenog osiguranja upravo u tim katastrofama koje ne možemo pokriti od svoje ušteđevine.

The crowds are back. Tourist sites across China are drawing enormous numbers of visitors over the Labor Day holiday, creating scenes of overcrowding rarely glimpsed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Though there has been much grumbling about the holiday’s strange schedule — which requires people to work on weekends to compensate for their days off — millions of people have still taken advantage of the five-day break to go on vacation. And with international travel still restricted, domestic venues are cashing in. https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1007377/people-mountain%2C-peopl

The Church Forests of Ethiopia (9 min) Nearly all of Ethiopia’s old-growth forest has disappeared. This film tells the story of Ethiopia’s church forests–pockets of lush biodiversity that surround hundreds of churches—and the efforts to protect them.

To je zanimljiva tema. Ja generalno živim tako poslednjih godina (izuzev koronične 2020). Malo Kina, malo Srbistan, sa povremenim putovanjima u druge zemlje. Ranije, kada sam živeo u Srbiji, imao sam pravilo da 1/3 godine provedem van zemlje.

Da rezimiram: ovaj forum ne valja kao što Australija ne valja. And yet, here we are...

E sad smo svi najebali.

Ja ponekad mislim da se iza bam-bamovog nicka krije jedan ozbiljan tim ruskih naučnika. Ali trenutno nemam dokaza za to.

Bokte mazo, koliko energije, truda, upornosti, volje da se piše i ilustruje i objašnjava. Prosto da čoveku bude žao što više nema radnih akcija, da vas pošalju da gradite neku prugu ili tako nešto...

Ne znam u kom univerzumu ti živiš, ali mora da je lepo tamo. There are approximatly 2.5 million slum dwellers in about 200 settlements in Nairobi, representing 60% of the Nairobi population.

I ja sam se pitao gde si nestao. Svaka čast, samo nastavi sa montiranjem. To je naporan i zahtevan proces, ali mislim da se isplati kad na kraju dobiješ rezultat. Inače, verujem da ti to nije cilj, ali mislim da bi uz malo profesionalniju kameru i montažu mogao da praviš stvari koje bi bile baš popularne.

Pa da.
