The reef

2022-05-26 22:21:55 | cinema

A story about five guys trying to enjoy sailing in Australia. However, the vessel hits an underwater rock and capsizes with an opening on her bottom. The man advises that they should swim in the north direction to reach the Turtle Island, in Queensland, Australia, while they have strength since there is a current moving the boat in the opposite direction of land but Warren prefers to stay on the hull waiting for help since there are sharks in the water. The quartet swims, but they are hunted by a great white shark.

The sharks in this film are real. Moreover, all the footage of the sharks was filmed in the environs of Port Lincoln on the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia, just off the state's Spencer Gulf, at the Neptune Islands.

"You look like a seal in that. Sharks love seals."
I wonder what about. If we didn't wear  wet suit, we won't be able to gain buoyancy, and above all, we will lose our physical strength if we soak in seawater for a long time.

Bionic Reading

2022-05-25 22:44:40 | 日記

Bionic reading displays the text on the page the “classic way,” but around 50% of the content is shown in bold. So far, there are no e-reading apps that have officially adopted the new API, but it is only a matter of time before it is an option on many of the worlds most popular Android and iOS apps.

Bionic Reading revises texts so that the most concise parts of words are highlighted. This guides the eye over the text and the brain remembers previously learned words more quickly. The eye is guided through the text by means of typographic highlights. With the interplay of “Fixation”, “Saccade” and “Opacity” visual stimuli can be transferred to the text, which decisively change the typeface.

We can try this new font system on the Kindle, Kobo or Nook right now. Take your text ( I would suggest using EPUB) and upload it to the Bionic Reading converter (https://bionic-reading.com/). It will convert the text to use a new font.

 


Latest Taiwan Gaffe Stokes Tensions With Beijing

2022-05-24 22:27:04 | 日記

US president Joe Biden says 'Yes' when asked if willing to defend Taiwan.
US would defend island militarily. President is seeking to show US resolve against China.
It cast new light on Washington’s decades-old approach of “strategic ambiguity” about whether US forces would defend Taiwan against China.

However, White House officials later walked back the remark, saying the president was only promising US aid to help Taiwan defend itself in the event of hostilities. Although the promise is unlikely to fundamentally alter the US-China relationship, it highlights the current tension around Taiwan at a time when Chinese officials have expressed concern about American efforts to box in their country.

Kalush Orchestra - Stefania - Ukraine

2022-05-23 22:27:17 | 日記

Hip hop group Kalush took their name from the city where they formed in 2019, in the Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast, western Ukraine. The three-piece of rapper Oleh Psiuk, multi-instrumentalist Ihor Didenchuk and MC Kylymen attained commercial success quickly in their home country, creating rap pieces from the slang of Psiuk’s home town. 

One of the key words of the song is “колискова”, which means “lullaby”. The lullaby is a symbol in the song for the good memories that the narrator has of their mother. The sound of the lullaby brings them back to a moment when they were still under the safe guard of their mother. It comes back in both the chorus and the verse, as each rap verse ends with the sentence “Lyuli lyuli lyuli”, which is a classic Slavic folk lullaby. 

♪Stefania mum mum Stefania
The field blooms, but she is turning grey
Sing me a lullaby mum
I want to hear your native word

She rocked me; gave me rhythm and probably the power of will; did not take, but she gave
Probably knew even more and from Solomon
I will always walk to you by broken roads
She will not awaken, won’t wake, me in strong storms
She will take two fig signs from grandma, as if they were bullets♪

Jamala - 1944

2022-05-22 22:48:38 | 人々

In 2016, Ukrainian female singer Jamala won the 61st "Concours Eurovision de Chanson, Eurovision Song Contest" in Stockholm.
The title of her song is "1944". It is filled with the ethnic feelings of the ethnic minority Crimean Tatars flowing through Jira's body.

The Tatars are a Turkic-Mongolian people who were active in a wide area from the Mongolian plateau to Lithuania in the Baltic region. In 1944, Stalin, under the pretext of cooperating with Nazi Germany, displaced as many as 200,000 Crimean Tatars to Central Asia or sent them to camps.

When strangers are coming...
They come to your house,
They kill you all
and say,
We’re not guilty
not guilty.
 
Where is your mind?
Humanity cries.
You think you are gods.
But everyone dies.
Don't swallow my soul.
Our souls
 
I did not enjoy my youth
I was not able to live in this place
I did not enjoy my youth
I was not able to live in this plac
