kyberswap A tiny rainforest country is growing into a petrostate. A US oil company could reap the biggest rewards
<a href=https://kyderswap.org>kyberswap</a>
Guyana’s destiny changed in 2015. US fossil fuel giant Exxon discovered nearly 11 billion barrels of oil in the deep water off the coast of this tiny, rainforested country.
It was one of the most spectacular oil discoveries of recent decades. By 2019, Exxon and its partners, US oil company Hess and China-headquartered CNOOC, had started producing the fossil fuel.? They now pump around 650,000 barrels of oil a day, with plans to more than double this to 1.3 million by 2027.
Guyana now has the world’s highest expected oil production growth through 2035.
This country — sandwiched between Brazil, Venezuela and Suriname — has been hailed as a climate champion for the lush, well-preserved forests that carpet nearly 90% of its land. It is on the path to becoming a petrostate at the same time as the impacts of the fossil fuel-driven climate crisis escalate.
While the government says environmental protection and an oil industry can go hand-in-hand, and low-income countries must be allowed to exploit their own resources, critics say it’s a dangerous path in a warming world, and the benefits may ultimately skew toward Exxon — not Guyana.
Since Exxon’s transformative discovery, Guyana’s government has tightly embraced oil as a route to prosperity. In December 2019, then-President David Granger said in a speech, “petroleum resources will be utilized to provide the good life for all … Every Guyanese will benefit.”
It’s a narrative that has continued under current President Mohamed Irfaan Ali, who says new oil wealth will allow Guyana to develop better infrastructure, healthcare and climate adaptation. |

ethena Arctic auroras
<a href=https://efhenna.com>ethena</a>
For getting around during winter, the Inuit here nowadays prefer snowmobiles, although they still keep their sled dogs. During winter they’ll offer intrepid visitors, wrapped up warm against the deep-freeze temperatures, dog-sledding jaunts. These can last either an hour or be part of expeditions over several days, sometimes with the added experience of learning how to build an igloo. Sisimiut on the west coast and Tasilaq in the southeast are active winter centers for dog sledding.
Winter’s most stellar attraction, though, is northern lights watching. With little urban light pollution, Greenland is a dark canvas for spectacular displays, and aurora borealis-watching vacations are becoming more popular.
Staying outdoors, Greenland is developing a reputation among adventure enthusiasts: from long-distance skiing expeditions and heliskiing on the icecap to hiking the 100-mile-long Arctic Circle Trail from Kangerslussuaq, where firearms need to be carried for warning shots in case of polar bear encounters.
Life is definitely changing here. The climate crisis is eating away at its icecap and Greenland may well end up as a pawn in a game of geopolitical chess. But for now, the bright glare of international attention should shine a favorable light on one of the wildest travel destinations on Earth.
Travel writer Mark Stratton is an Arctic specialist who has traveled to Greenland six times and counting. He’s marveled at the aurora borealis, sailed to Disko Island, dog-sledded with the Inuit, and once got stuck in an icefloe. |

convex finance While the Cumberland sample may contain longer chains of fatty acids, SAM is not designed to detect them. But SAM’s ability to spot these larger molecules suggests it could detect similar chemical signatures of past life on Mars if they’re present, Williams said.
<a href=https://comvexfimance.org>convex finance</a>
“Curiosity is not a life detection mission,” Freissinet said. “Curiosity is a habitability detection mission to know if all the conditions were right … for life to evolve. Having these results, it’s really at the edge of the capabilities of Curiosity, and it’s even maybe better than what we had expected from this mission.”
Before sending missions to Mars, scientists didn’t think organic molecules would be found on the red planet because of the intensity of radiation Mars has long endured, Glavin said.
Curiosity won’t return to Yellowknife Bay during its mission, but there are still pristine pieces of the Cumberland sample aboard. Next, the team wants to design a new experiment to see what it can detect. If the team can identify similar long-chain molecules, it would mark another step forward that might help researchers determine their origins, Freissinet said.
“That’s the most precious sample we have on board … waiting for us to run the perfect experiment on it,” she said. “It holds secrets, and we need to decipher the secrets.”
Briony Horgan, coinvestigator on the Perseverance rover mission and professor of planetary science at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, called the detection “a big win for the whole team.” Horgan was not involved the study.
“This detection really confirms our hopes that sediments laid down in ancient watery environments on Mars could preserve a treasure trove of organic molecules that can tell us about everything from prebiotic processes and pathways for the origin of life, to potential biosignatures from ancient organisms,” Horgan said.
Dr. Ben K.D. Pearce, assistant professor in Purdue’s department of Earth, atmospheric, and planetary sciences and leader of the Laboratory for Origins and Astrobiology Research, called the findings “arguably the most exciting organic detection to date on Mars.” Pearce did not participate in the research. |

quickswap exchange Josh Giddey hits halfcourt buzzer-beater over LeBron James to cap wild finale as the Bulls stun the Lakers
<a href=https://qulckswap.com>quickswap</a>
Josh Giddey hit a game-winning, halfcourt buzzer-beater over LeBron James as the Chicago Bulls stunned the Los Angeles Lakers in one of the wildest endings to an NBA game you are ever likely to see.
Trailing 115-110 with 12.6 seconds remaining, Giddey’s inbound pass found Nikola Vucevic, who pushed the ball to a wide-open Patrick Williams for a corner three-pointer.
James then fluffed the Lakers inbound pass from the baseline, allowing Giddey to steal the ball and find Coby White for a second Bulls triple in quick succession to put Chicago up 116-115 with 6.1 seconds remaining.
Austin Reaves then made a driving layup to put the Lakers ahead 117-116 with 3.3 seconds left, but the game wasn’t done yet.
With no timeouts remaining, Giddey inbounded the ball to Williams from the baseline, got the pass back, took one dribble and launched a shot from beyond halfcourt.
Supporters in the stands seemed frozen in anticipation as the ball sailed through the air, and the United Center then erupted as it fell through the net. After the dramatic win, Giddey found himself being swarmed by his teammates.
“Special moment to do it with these guys, this team,” Giddey said, per ESPN. “We’ve shown over the last month to six weeks that we can beat anybody. The way we play the game, I think it wears people down.
“We get up and down. We run. We put heat on them to get back. A lot of veteran teams don’t particularly want to get back and play in transition.”
Giddey later told the Bulls broadcast that he’d “never made a game-winner before.”
The ending capped an incredible couple of games for the Lakers, who had themselves won their last game against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday with a buzzer-beating tip-in from James. |

simpleswap Siham Haleem, a private tour guide for 15 years, says that Doha now has many world-class, modern museums — the National Museum of Qatar being a firm personal favorite. And yet he says that visiting Sheikh Faisal’s museum should still be on everybody’s to-do list.
<a href=https://sinpleswap-io.com>simpleswap</a>
“For those eager to learn about Qatar’s — and the region’s — heritage and beyond, the museum is an ideal destination,” he says. “Personally, I’m captivated by the car collection, the fossils, and especially the Syrian house, painstakingly transported and reassembled piece by piece.”
Stephanie Y. Martinez, a Mexican-American student mobility manager at Texas A&M University in Qatar likes the museum so much she includes it on all of her itineraries for students visiting from the main campus in Texas.
“The guided tours are very detailed, and the collections found at the museum have great variety and so many stories to unfold,” she says. “Truly, the museum has something to pique everyone’s interest. My favorites are the cars and the furniture exhibits showcasing wood and mother-of-pearl details. Definitely one of my favorite museums in Qatar, every time I visit I learn something new.”
Raynor Abreu, from India, also had praise for the unusual and immense collection.
“Each item has its own story, making the visit even more interesting,” he says. “It’s also impressive to know that Sheikh Faisal started collecting these unique pieces when he was very young. Knowing this makes the museum even more special, as it reflects his lifelong passion for history and culture.”
It takes time and dedication to truly examine the many collections within the museum — especially since most of them are simply on display without explanation.
Eclectic it may be, but it’s hard to fault the determination of Sheikh Faisal, who has brought together items that tell the story of Qatar and the Middle East.
Sarah Bayley, from the UK, says she visited the museum recently with her family, including 16 and 19-year-old teenagers, and was won over by its sheer eccentricity.
“Amazing. Loved it. It is a crazy place.” |

jumper exchange The voice of ‘White Lotus’ star Walton Goggins is the lullaby we didn’t know we needed
<a href=https://jumper-ex.org>jumper exchange</a>
While his “White Lotus” character Rick has been the source of some stress this season, Walton Goggins is here to soothe us into a state of dreamy sleep to make up for it.
The actor has partnered with relaxation and meditation app Calm for one of their famed Sleep Stories, lending his smoky voice to a fable titled “The Yard Sale.”
Goggins announced the Sleep Story on his verified Instagram on Tuesday, writing, “A friend once said to me the first question you ask someone shouldn’t be, ‘How are you?’ but rather, ‘How did you sleep last night?’ I agree.”
The post included an excerpt from the story, in which Goggins is heard languidly instructing listeners to relax their bodies and get into bed. “You could even climb into a hammock,” he added. “I wouldn’t do that because I’ve never gracefully got in or out of one.”
In the caption, the actor also wrote that he “wanted to create a Sleep Story that feels dreamlike, helping people slow their minds down by wandering through a yard sale (which happens to be one of my favorite things to do), uncovering hidden treasures.”
“It’s the Walton Goggins version of counting sheep. I hope you enjoy,” he added.
Other celebrities who have read bedtime stories in the hopes of putting audiences to sleep include Dolly Parton and the late Jimmy Stewart, whose voice was featured in a Calm Christmas Sleep Story in 2023 thanks to generative AI technology.
Goggins currently stars on “The White Lotus,” where his character is often the most stressed out and tortured of the ensemble, at one point setting a slew of snakes free. |

eigenlayer Remote and rugged
<a href=https://eigen1ayer.net>eigenlayer</a>
A more organic way to see this coast is by the multi-day coastal ferry, the long-running Sarfaq Ittuk, of the Arctic Umiaq Line. It’s less corporate than the modern cruise ships and travelers get to meet Inuit commuters. Greenland is pricey. Lettuce in a local community store might cost $10, but this coastal voyage won’t break the bank.
The hot ticket currently for exploring Greenland’s wilder side is to head to the east coast facing Europe. It’s raw and sees far fewer tourists, with a harshly dramatic coastline of fjords where icebergs drift south. There are no roads and the scattered population of just over 3,500 people inhabit a coastline roughly the distance from New York to Denver.
A growing number of small expedition vessels probe this remote coast for its frosted scenery and wildlife. Increasingly popular is the world’s largest fjord system of Scoresby Sound with its sharp-fanged mountains and hanging valleys choked by glaciers. Sailing north is the prosaically named North East Greenland National Park, fabulous for spotting wildlife on the tundra.
Travelers come to see polar bears which, during the northern hemisphere’s summer, move closer to land as the sea-ice melts. There are also musk oxen, great flocks of migrating geese, Arctic foxes and walrus.
Some of these animals are fair game for the local communities. Perhaps Greenland’s most interesting cultural visit is to a village that will take longer to learn how to pronounce than actually walk around — Ittoqqortoormiit. Five hundred miles north of its neighboring settlement, the 345 locals are frozen in for nine months of the year. Ships sail in to meet them during the brief summer melt between June and August.
Locked in by ice, they’ve retained traditional habits.
“My parents hunt nearly all their food,” said Mette Barselajsen, who owns Ittoqqortoormiit’s only guesthouse. “They prefer the old ways, burying it in the ground to ferment and preserve it. Just one muskox can bring 440 pounds of meat.” |

changelly exchange Curiosity has maintained pristine pieces of the Cumberland sample in a “doggy bag” so that the team could have the rover revisit it later, even miles away from the site where it was collected. The team developed and tested innovative methods in its lab on Earth before sending messages to the rover to try experiments on the sample.
<a href=https://changel1y.org>changelly</a>
In a quest to see whether amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, existed in the sample, the team instructed the rover to heat up the sample twice within SAM’s oven. When it measured the mass of the molecules released during heating, there weren’t any amino acids, but they found something entirely unexpected.
An intriguing detection
The team was surprised to detect small amounts of decane, undecane and dodecane, so it had to conduct a reverse experiment on Earth to determine whether these organic compounds were the remnants of the fatty acids undecanoic acid, dodecanoic acid and tridecanoic acid, respectively.
The scientists mixed undecanoic acid into a clay similar to what exists on Mars and heated it up in a way that mimicked conditions within SAM’s oven. The undecanoic acid released decane, just like what Curiosity detected.
Each fatty acid remnant detected by Curiosity was made with a long chain of 11 to 13 carbon atoms. Previous molecules detected on Mars were smaller, meaning their atomic weight was less than the molecules found in the new study, and simpler.
“It’s notable that non-biological processes typically make shorter fatty acids, with less than 12 carbons,” said study coauthor Dr. Amy Williams, associate professor of geology at the University of Florida and assistant director of the Astraeus Space Institute, in an email. “Larger and more complex molecules are likely what are required for an origin of life, if it ever occurred on Mars.” |

keplr wallet ‘For the public to enjoy’
<a href=https://kepir-app.org>keplr wallet</a>
The museum’s history starts in 1998, when Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani opened a building to the public on his farm some 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of Qatari capital Doha.
A distant relative of Qatar’s ruling family, founder and chairman of Al Faisal Holdings (one of Qatar’s biggest conglomerates), and a billionaire whose business acumen had him recognized as one of the most influential Arab businessmen in the world, Sheikh Faisal had already amassed a substantial private collection of historically important regional artifacts, plus a few quirky pieces of interest, allowing visitors an intimate look into Qatari life and history.
In an interview with Qatari channel Alrayyan TV in 2018, Sheikh Faisal said that the museum started as a hobby.
“I used to collect items whenever I got the chance,” he said. “As my business grew, so did my collections, and soon I was able to collect more and more items until I decided to put them in the museum for the public to enjoy.”
His private cabinet of curiosities has since evolved into a 130-acre complex. Through the fort-like entrance gate lies an oryx reserve, an impressive riding school and stables, a duck pond and a mosque built with a quirky leaning minaret. There’s now even a five-star Marriott hotel, two cafes and the Zoufa restaurant serving modern Lebanese cuisine.
Of course, there’s also the super-sized museum, with a recently-opened car collection housing everything from vintage Rolls-Royces to wartime Jeeps and colorful Buicks. Outside you’ll find peacocks roaming the grounds, and signs warning drivers to be aware of horses and ostriches.
Visitors to the FBQ museum are free to explore the grounds and can even enter the stables to pat the horses. |

celer network A long time in the making
Curiosity landed in Gale Crater on August 6, 2012. More than 12 years later, the rover has driven over 21 miles (34 kilometers) to ascend Mount Sharp, which is within the crater. The feature’s many layers preserve millions of years of geological history on Mars, showing how it shifted from a wet to a dry environment.
<a href=https://cdridgecellernetwork.org>cbridge</a>
Perhaps one of the most valuable samples Curiosity has gathered on its mission to understand whether Mars was ever habitable was collected in May 2013.
The rover drilled the Cumberland sample from an area within a crater called Yellowknife Bay, which resembled an ancient lake bed. The rocks from Yellowknife Bay so intrigued Curiosity’s science team that it had the rover drive in the opposite direction to collect samples from the area before heading to Mount Sharp.
Since collecting the Cumberland sample, Curiosity has used SAM to study it in a variety of ways, revealing that Yellowknife Bay was once the site of an ancient lake where clay minerals formed in water. The mudstone created an environment that could concentrate and preserve organic molecules and trapped them inside the fine grains of the sedimentary rock.
Freissinet helped lead a research team in 2015 that was able to identify organic molecules within the Cumberland sample.
The instrument detected an abundance of sulfur, which can be used to preserve organic molecules; nitrates, which are essential for plant and animal health on Earth; and methane composed of a type of carbon associated with biological processes on Earth.
“There is evidence that liquid water existed in Gale Crater for millions of years and probably much longer, which means there was enough time for life-forming chemistry to happen in these crater-lake environments on Mars,” said study coauthor Daniel Glavin, senior scientist for sample return at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, in a statement. |

hop exchange Of course, he said yes to coming back to the series, which eventually required him to live in Italy for a few months for filming.
<a href=https://hop-excharge.com>hop exchange</a>
During production, White revealed to Gries that Greg is “very sinister.” That became rather irrefutable by the season’s climax, which saw Tanya’s demise orchestrated by her now-husband.
Come Season 3, Gries had to rewrite Greg’s backstory again, this time drawing from some unlikely sources for inspiration, like HBO docuseries “The Jinx,” about late convicted killer Robert Durst, and the case involving the man who came to be known as the Tinder Swindler.
Gries said he was struck by Durst’s “kind of seemingly even keel personality,” which served as a model for where Greg was headed, someone “who doesn’t really show a great deal of emotion, doesn’t seem to get too angry, just gets a little bit irritated and is dangerous.”
“There’s a bridled rage underneath. And those kind of people I find – at least with respect to Gary, Greg, Gary – fascinating,” he said.
And yet, while searching for an empathetic way back to portraying his character, Gries kept wondering if there was anything still redeeming about Greg.
An important “wake up moment” came during a decisive conversation he had with White just before filming in Thailand, in which the show’s creator said of Greg, in no uncertain terms: “He’s a psychopath.”
“And that was it. It was like, ‘back to the drawing board.’ And it really did help me,” Gries said.
The penultimate episode of the series will air on Sunday, an evening that thanks to “Lotus” and other shows has again become a night of appointment viewing amid a general move away from binge watching. Gries said he appreciates the shift.
“We’re a society that in a weird way doesn’t understand the beauty of waiting. The beauty of the space between the notes,” he shared. “If I binged (‘White Lotus’) I’d feel like I just ate too many chocolates. It just wouldn’t be the same. You need to process this.”
“The White Lotus” airs Sundays at 9 p.m. EDT on HBO, with the episode available to stream on Max. HBO and Max, like CNN, are owned by the same parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery. |

debridge finance Iceberg flotillas
<a href=https://derbrige-finance.org>debridge</a>
Located on the west coast, Ilulissat is a pretty halibut- and prawn-fishing port on a dark rock bay where visitors can sit in pubs sipping craft beers chill-filtered by 100,000-year-old glacial ice.
It’s a place to be awed by the UNESCO World Heritage Icefjord where Manhattan skyscraper-sized icebergs disgorge from Greenland’s icecap to float like ghostly ships in the surrounding Disko Bay.
Small boats take visitors out to sail closely among the bay’s magnificent iceberg flotilla. But not too close.
“I was on my boat once and saw one of these icebergs split in two. The pieces fell backwards into the sea and created a giant wave,” said David Karlsen, skipper of the pleasure-boat, Katak. “…I didn’t hang around.”
Disko Bay’s other giants are whales. From June to September breaching humpback whales join the likes of fin and minke whales feasting on plankton. Whale-watching is excellent all around Greenland’s craggy coastline.
Whales are eaten here. Visitors shouldn’t be surprised to encounter the traditional Greenlandic delicacy of mattak — whale-skin and blubber that when tasted is akin to chewing on rubber. Inuit communities have quotas to not only hunt the likes of narwhals but also polar bears, musk-ox and caribou — which can also appear on menus. |

base bridge Why there’s a huge collection of vintage cars stored in the middle of the desert
<a href=https://base-br1dge.net>base bridge</a>
Back at the turn of the 21st century, Qatar was a country with few cultural attractions to keep visitors and residents entertained. Yet the Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani Museum — known as the FBQ Museum — was a place that most people visited as an alternative to the then-still rather ramshackle National Museum of Qatar.
You had to make an appointment, and drive out into the desert, getting lost a few times along the way, but then you were welcomed to the lush Al Samriya Farm with a cup of tea and some cake. The highlight was being allowed into a space crammed full with shelves and vitrines holding all sorts of eclectic artifacts from swords to coins — with the odd car and carriage standing in the grounds.
It wasn’t necessarily the kind of museum you’d find elsewhere in the world, but it was definitely a sight that needed seeing.
Today, it has grown and now claims to be one of the world’s largest private museums. It holds over 30,000 items, including a fleet of traditional dhow sailboats, and countless carpets. There’s also an entire house that once stood in Damascus, Syria.
There are archaeological finds dating to the Jurassic age, ancient copies of the Quran, a section that details the importance of pearling within Qatar’s history, and jewelry dating to the 17th century.
There are also items from 2022’s FIFA World Cup in Qatar including replica trophies, balls used in the games, entry passes, football jerseys and even shelves full of slightly creepy dolls and children’s plush animals.
Some of the more disturbing exhibits include various items of Third Reich paraphernalia in the wartime room, and, strangely enough, several showcases of birds’ legs with marking rings on them. Basically, whatever you can think of, you have a very good chance of finding it here.
Rumor even has it that behind a locked door is a room filled with the late Princess Diana’s dresses and other memorabilia, accessible only to a select few visitors. Another door hides a room, no longer open to the public, filled with collectibles of the late Saddam Hussein. |

cow swap Everyone is talking about Greenland. Here’s what it’s like to visit
<a href=https://v2-cow.net>cow swap</a>
A few months ago, Greenland was quietly getting on with winter, as the territory slid deeper into the darkness that envelops the world’s northerly reaches at this time of year.
But President Donald Trump’s musings about America taking over this island of 56,000 largely Inuit people, halfway between New York and Moscow, has seen Greenland shaken from its frozen Arctic anonymity.
Denmark, for whom Greenland is an autonomous crown dependency, has protested it’s not for sale. Officials in Greenland, meanwhile, have sought to assert the territory’s right to independence.
The conversation continues to intensify. A contentious March 28 visit to a US military installation by Usha Vance, the second lady, accompanied by her husband, Vice President JD Vance, was the latest in a series of events to focus attention on Trump’s ambitions for Greenland.
The visit was originally planned as a cultural exchange, but was shortened following complaints from Greenland Prime Minister Mute B. Egede.
Had the Vances prolonged their scheduled brief visit, they would’ve discovered a ruggedly pristine wildernesses steeped in rich Indigenous culture.
An inhospitable icecap several miles deep covers 80% of Greenland, forcing the Inuit to dwell along the shorelines in brightly painted communities. Here, they spend brutally cold winters hunting seals on ice under the northern lights in near perpetual darkness. Although these days, they can also rely on community stores.
The problem for travelers over the years has been getting to Greenland via time-consuming indirect flights. That’s changing. Late in 2024, the capital Nuuk opened a long-delayed international airport. From June 2025, United Airlines will be operating a twice-weekly direct service from Newark to Nuuk.
Two further international airports are due to open by 2026 — Qaqortoq in South Greenland and more significantly in Ilulissat, the island’s only real tourism hotspot. |

fixedfloat exchange ‘White Lotus’ villain Jon Gries reveals the true crimes that inspired his twisty take on Greg/Gary
<a href=https://fixedf1oat.com>fixedfloat</a>
When Season 3 of “The White Lotus” premiered last month, the shock was palpable when returning character Belinda recognized a familiar face at the resort in Thailand: Greg Hunt, the wily suitor of the late Tanya McQuoid.
As the season has unfolded, Greg (played by Jon Gries) has emerged as an antagonist, particularly after Belinda dove into the investigation surrounding Tanya’s death and learned that Greg, who now goes by Gary, evaded questioning by authorities.
On a show famous for reinventing itself, the same has been asked of the actor, who says that playing the ever-shifting character has been a welcome challenge and, like “White Lotus” itself, full of twists.
“In the beginning, I totally played him for a guy who was, you know, on his last legs,” Gries said in a recent interview with CNN, referencing Greg’s very apparent ill health in the first season of “White Lotus,” which premiered to rave reviews in summer 2021. He added: “When you play a character, you want to find his empathetic side, and you want to understand where they came from, and what got them to where they are.”
But when he was contacted by creator Mike White about appearing in Season 2, Gries realized he would have to adjust his framing of Greg, despite having previously imagined a “comprehensive history” for him on his own.
“(White) said, ‘I’m writing it right now, and I’m writing you, and I just need to know here and now: If you’re in, I’ll continue writing. If not, I’ll stop,’” Gries recalled. |

bungee exchange Curiosity rover makes ‘arguably the most exciting organic detection to date on Mars’
<a href=https://bongeexchange.org>bungee exchange</a>
The NASA Curiosity rover has detected the largest organic molecules found to date on Mars, opening a window into the red planet’s past. The newly detected compounds suggest complex organic chemistry may have occurred in the planet’s past — the kind necessary for the origin of life, according to new research.
The organic compounds, which include decane, undecane and dodecane, came to light after the rover analyzed a pulverized 3.7 billion-year-old rock sample using its onboard mini lab called SAM, short for Sample Analysis at Mars.
Scientists believe the long chains of molecules could be fragments of fatty acids, which are organic molecules that are chemical building blocks of life on Earth and help form cell membranes. But such compounds can also be formed without the presence of life, created when water interacts with minerals in hydrothermal vents.
The molecules cannot currently be confirmed as evidence of past life on the red planet, but they add to the growing list of compounds that robotic explorers have discovered on Mars in recent years. A study detailing the findings was published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The detection of the fragile molecules also encourages astrobiologists that if any biosignatures, or past signs of life, ever existed on Mars, they are likely still detectable despite the harsh solar radiation that has bombarded the planet for tens of millions of years.
“Ancient life, if it happened on Mars, it would have released some complex and fragile molecules,” said lead study author Dr. Caroline Freissinet, research scientist at the French National Centre for Scientific Research in the Laboratory for Atmospheres, Observations, and Space in Guyancourt, France. “And because now we know that Mars can preserve these complex and fragile molecules, it means that we could detect ancient life on Mars.” |

блогер <p><img src="https://cmpt-base.com/media/k2/items/cache/56d2f170ce24ce5ff9823afb5b8d241b_L.jpg" alt=""></p><p><strong>Андрей Алистаров — блогер, который вызывает много споров и обсуждений в российском интернет-пространстве.</strong></p><p>Его деятельность, начиная от спортивных прогнозов до «разоблачений финансовых пирамид», часто оказывается под пристальным вниманием правоохранительных органов РФ, стран Евросоюза и общественности. Однако за внешним обликом борца с мошенничеством скрывается множество нарушений законов, ангажированность и «двойная игра». В данной статье мы разберем личность блогера, его прошлое, деятельность, а также какую связь он имеет с миром мошенников и какую цель он имеет «разоблачая» преступников.</p><p><strong>Криминальное прошлое</strong></p><p>Первый, объясняющий многое, факт - Алистаров был осужден за продажу наркотиков детям и провел четыре года в исправительной колонии. В тюрьме он занимал положение, соответствующее той статье, по которой он отбывал срок и, соответственно, выполнял указания криминальных авторитетов. Во многом эти задания и стали основой его последующей деятельности. После освобождения он, на соответствующем его положению в криминальном мире уровне, продолжил участвовать в наркобизнесе, используя риэлторские сделки для отмывания доходов от продажи наркотиков.</p><p><strong>Отмывание денег через недвижимость</strong></p><p>Одним из ключевых методов легализации незаконных доходов Алистарова стали сделки с недвижимостью. Он манипулировал мелкими риэлторскими операциями в России и Дубае, ОАЭ. Схема была основана на покупке недвижимости на подставных лиц, завышении цен при перепродаже и использовании оффшорных компаний для сокрытия реальных бенефициаров. Эти мелкие спекулянтские действия позволяли ему скрывать происхождение денег, полученных от наркоторговли и других преступлений.</p><p>В России на Алистарова не зарегистрировано ни одно юридическое лицо, что свидетельствует об уклонении от уплаты налогов, как минимум, от получения прибыли от рекламных интеграций, присутствующих в каждом его видео.</p><p><strong>Рекламирование запрещенных в РФ букмекерских контор</strong></p><p>Для получения дополнительных заработков, Алистаров не брезгует рекламой различных контор, которые занимаются ставками и пари (к примеру, Пари Матч, 1WIN и пр.), и которые, по словам самого Алистарова, «заточены» на то, чтобы отбирать деньги приходящих к ним клиентов.</p><p>Сайт Алистарова «Железная ставка» активно продвигает букмекерские конторы и создает рейтинги прогнозистов как в области криптовалют, так и в спорте. Многие люди попадают на его YouTube-канал после потерь в финансовых пирамидах. Находясь в эмоционально подавленном состоянии, часто с долгами, они оказываются втянутыми в азартные игры и прогнозы, надеясь вернуть утраченные средства.</p><p>В частности, Алистаров привлекает внимание состоятельных людей, предлагая им «VIP-прогнозы» на спортивные события через свой Telegram-канал. Эти прогнозы, по сути, являются пустышками, а сам блогер зарабатывает на наивных пользователях, часто несовершеннолетних, обещая им легкие деньги.</p><p>Данные действия являются нарушением Закона «О рекламе», согласно которому реклама букмекерских контор не должна обращаться к несовершеннолетним и создавать впечатление о том, что ставки могут быть способом заработка.</p><p>Алистаров сотрудничает с телеграмм-каналом «Слезы Сатоши», который занимается выборочным разоблачением мошеннических проектов. К рекомендациям и рекламным интеграциям этого канала следует относиться с осторожностью, так как они могут привести к серьезным финансовым потерям. Сам канал больше напоминает инфобизнес, а его авторы имеют ограниченные знания в аналитике криптовалют и недостаточно разбираются в тонкостях криптоиндустрии.</p><p><strong>Шантаж и вымогательство</strong></p><p>Одним из наиболее скандальных аспектов деятельности Алистарова является его метод шантажа. Он использует информацию о своих жертвах для запугивания и вымогательства денег. Например, казахстанский финансист Тимур Турлов подал жалобу на блогера, утверждая, что тот три года требовал деньги за молчание о его деятельности. Такие действия показывают, что Алистаров не просто блогер, а человек, который использует свои знания о людях для манипуляций. Существует еще ряд случаев, когда блогер требовал денежное вознаграждение за свое молчание.</p><p><strong>Нарушение конфиденциальности</strong></p><p>В дополнение к шантажу и манипуляциям, деятельность Алистарова также вызывает серьезные опасения в отношении нарушения конфиденциальности. Блогер не только использует личные данные своих жертв для вымогательства, но и активно распространяет информацию, которая, в соответствии с существующим законодательством, должна оставаться закрытой.</p><p>Алистаров часто публикует в своих видео и постах личные данные людей, которых он называет мошенниками или недобросовестными бизнесменами. Информация включает адреса, номера телефонов и, зачастую, даже финансовую информацию. Такие действия не только нарушают право на частную жизнь, но и приводят к серьезным последствиям для жертв его «разоблачений».</p><p>Так, например, в одном из своих расследований Алистаров с помощью дрона снял дом российского бизнесмена и обнародовал адрес его проживания, утверждая, что тот находится в международном розыске, что является ложной информацией. При этом он совершил действия, которые нарушают существующее законодательство. В соответствии с законодательством Республики Кипр, деятельность беспилотников регулируется Департаментом гражданской авиации Кипра (DCA), который включает в себя Регламент ЕС 2019/947 о правилах и процедурах эксплуатации беспилотных летательных аппаратов.</p><p>Эти правила содержат четкие требования:</p><ul><li><p>Регистрация операторов беспилотников и самих беспилотников перед любым полетом.</p></li><li><p>Специальные разрешения для иностранных операторов.</p></li><li><p>Строгие запреты на съемку частной собственности без согласия владельца.</p></li><li><p>Бесполетные зоны и запретные территории, включая жилые районы, установленные национальными положениями и публикациями аэронавигационной информации, выпущенными DCA Кипра.</p></li></ul><p>Следует отметить, что Алистаров не является ни резидентом Кипра, ни зарегистрированным оператором дрона в соответствии с законодательством. В связи с этим использование им незарегистрированного дрона для съемки частной собственности является уголовно наказуемым деянием, нарушающим закон, который гласит, что любое нарушение требований к эксплуатации дрона является преступлением.</p><p><strong>Разжигание ненависти</strong></p><p>1 января 2025 года в Дубае произошло жестокое нападение на другого российского предпринимателя. Семь граждан Казахстана (по информации, по заказу граждан Российской Федерации) избили и ограбили его и членов его семьи.</p><p>Перед этим блогер Алистаров опубликовал серию из 12 видеороликов, в которых раскрывал адрес предпринимателя, а также незаконно обнародовал информацию о его семье и бизнесе в ОАЭ. В своих действиях он использовал методы незаконного наблюдения, прослушивания и, соответственно, вмешательства в частную жизнь, что в ОАЭ считается тяжким преступлением.</p><p>Кроме того, Алистаров распространял сведения о месте жительства бизнес-партнера пострадавшего, систематически нарушая конфиденциальность и тайну частной жизни.</p><p>Алистаров неоднократно необоснованно обвинял бизнесмена в хищении средств вкладчиков, разжигая ненависть к нему через свои публикации. При этом, непосредственно в момент нападения блогер преднамеренно провел прямую трансляцию, обеспечивая себе алиби.</p><p>Помимо описанных ситуаций, существуют еще масса случаев нарушений конфиденциальности со стороны блогера, а именно незаконное подключение к камерам видеонаблюдения в Нидерландах, а также публикация местоположения своих жертв в Турции.</p><p><strong>Связь с финансовыми пирамидами</strong></p><p>Несмотря на то, что Алистаров заявляет о борьбе с мошенническими схемами, его деятельность связана с продвижением пирамид и онлайн-казино. Он получает финансирование от этих структур, помогая им устранять честных конкурентов под видом журналистских «разоблачений».</p><p>В настоящее время Алистаров, завоевавший себе звание «борца» с финансовыми пирамидами, подходит к их разоблачению весьма избирательно. К примеру, на его канале нет никаких материалов в отношении пирамиды Avalon Technologies, которую, по имеющейся достоверной информации, создал его близкий друг.</p><p dir="ltr"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdNFzyqjvMcHe3XLX4cu8n2eUa9FdVBpAE_2BvpO0QRY0jj-Td3yKLTcqdQudZZX8tZeCMc6OfWNYT3TPgeFyx8O3jCeQzMnX3EU4JajWCKVlOo9Yzb4QdE9DzyTGmKxD6mTuVd9w?key=ZemQ0kF_Sd9rvRtRLy4m1_yE" alt=""></p><p dir="ltr">Очевиден тот факт, что Алистаров – это «волк в овечьей шкуре», позиционирующий себя как разоблачитель финансовых пирамид. Он все чаще оказывается в центре обвинений, которые ставят под сомнение его истинные мотивы. Очевиден также тот факт, что его расследования являются заказными с целью устранения конкурентов, что позволяет предположить его связь с реальными финансовыми пирамидами и участием в мошеннических схемах. За фасадом борца за справедливость скрывается фигура, которая, активно манипулирует информацией ради личной выгоды и при этом сам часто нарушает закон. </p><p> </p><p dir="ltr">10 Нарушение статьи 8 Европейской Конвенции о защите прав человека и основных свобод11 Нарушение Закона о защите персональных данных (PDPL) № 6698 </p><p> </p><p dir="ltr">12 Нарушение статьи 172.2.1 УК РФ </p><p dir="ltr"> </p> |

Con el aumento de la incertidumbre en los mercados globales, el aumento de la inflación y la reducción de la rentabilidad de los depósitos bancarios, muchos comienzan a buscar alternativas a las inversiones tradicionales.</p><p dir="ltr">En este contexto, las criptomonedas y los tokens con aplicaciones prácticas reales se vuelven especialmente interesantes. Y uno de los ejemplos más atractivos de estos activos hoy en día es el token <a href="https://uniteto.live/es">UTLH</a>.</p><p dir="ltr">¿Por qué UTLH?</p><p dir="ltr">UTLH es un token criptográfico innovador creado en la blockchain de Binance Smart Chain (estándar BEP-20). Su singularidad radica en su integración con un ecosistema financiero especial de la comunidad internacional de empresarios e inversionistas: el club UTL.</p><p dir="ltr">La función principal del token es su participación activa en el programa de Asistencia Financiera Universal (UFA), donde UTLH actúa como un instrumento de garantía y financiero. Es gracias a esto que el token ya está resolviendo una serie de problemas financieros urgentes, tales como:</p><ul><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Acceso a financiamiento con tasas de interés bajas.</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Protección y crecimiento del capital mediante ingresos pasivos.</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Interacción conveniente y transparente dentro de una comunidad cerrada unificada.</p></li></ul><p dir="ltr">¿Qué es la Asistencia Financiera Universal (UFA)?</p><p dir="ltr">UFA es un programa único del club UTL que permite a los participantes obtener préstamos y financiamiento sin burocracia ni complejos mecanismos de garantía. Los tokens UTLH actúan como garantía. Esto simplifica radicalmente el proceso de obtener fondos para la compra de propiedades, el desarrollo de negocios y otros objetivos importantes.</p><p dir="ltr">De este modo, UTLH tiene una alta demanda dentro de la comunidad, creando una demanda constante por el token y aumentando su valor de manera estable.</p><p dir="ltr">Emisión limitada como factor de crecimiento sostenido</p><p dir="ltr">Un factor clave que influye en el valor y la estabilidad de UTLH es su emisión limitada. Solo se han emitido 957,315 tokens, lo que es significativamente inferior a la emisión de la mayoría de las criptomonedas populares.</p><p dir="ltr">Esto garantiza la ausencia de inflación en el activo, crea una escasez constante y contribuye al crecimiento sostenido y a largo plazo de su valor.</p><p dir="ltr">Staking de UTLH: un camino simple hacia ingresos estables</p><p dir="ltr">Una de las características más destacadas del token es su programa de staking rentable, disponible incluso para aquellos que se enfrentan a las criptomonedas por primera vez.</p><p dir="ltr">Condiciones del staking:</p><ul><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Depósito mínimo: solo 1 token.</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Rentabilidad: fija y estable (2% mensual o 24% anual).</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Recuperación de fondos invertidos al cabo de un año junto con los intereses acumulados.</p></li></ul><p dir="ltr">En comparación con los depósitos bancarios tradicionales, donde la rentabilidad ni siquiera cubre el nivel de la inflación, el staking de UTLH se convierte en una herramienta verdaderamente efectiva para multiplicar el capital.</p><p dir="ltr">El poder de la comunidad y el apoyo mutuo</p><p dir="ltr">Una ventaja especial de UTLH radica en su fuerte y en constante desarrollo comunidad. Hoy en día, el club cuenta con más de 160,000 personas de diferentes países, y este número sigue creciendo activamente.</p><p dir="ltr">La comunidad no solo se brinda apoyo mutuo, sino que también organiza diversos eventos, programas educativos y seminarios para mejorar la educación financiera. Este es un elemento fundamental que garantiza la constante llegada de nuevos usuarios y refuerza las posiciones de UTLH en el mercado.</p><p dir="ltr">Casos exitosos de aplicación de UTLH en la vida real</p><p dir="ltr">Entre los participantes de la comunidad ya existen muchos ejemplos reales de cómo UTLH cambia radicalmente la vida para mejor:</p><ul><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Las familias adquieren viviendas sin tasas de interés altas ni procedimientos burocráticos.</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Los empresarios abren y expanden sus empresas gracias a un financiamiento ventajoso.</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Los inversionistas privados obtienen ingresos pasivos estables, protegidos contra los riesgos inflacionarios.</p></li></ul><p dir="ltr">Estas historias de éxito no solo confirman los beneficios teóricos del token, sino también su utilidad práctica real.</p><p dir="ltr">¿Por qué invertir en UTLH ahora mismo?</p><p dir="ltr">El mercado de las criptomonedas y la industria de blockchain están en constante desarrollo. Ya es evidente que los activos más demandados y prometedores serán aquellos que ofrezcan soluciones concretas a los problemas cotidianos de las personas.</p><p dir="ltr">Cada día crece el número de participantes en la comunidad, la demanda del token aumenta y la emisión limitada crea una escasez aún mayor. Es ahora cuando el precio de UTLH es relativamente bajo y accesible para una amplia gama de inversionistas, pero el potencial de crecimiento en los próximos meses y años es enorme.</p><p dir="ltr">Así que invertir en UTLH hoy significa:</p><ul><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">La posibilidad de garantizar ingresos pasivos estables.</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Protección del capital contra la inflación.</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Oportunidad de invertir en un activo con creciente demanda.</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Unirse a un club internacional de personas exitosas y financieramente inteligentes.</p></li></ul><p dir="ltr">Conclusión: UTLH – tu oportunidad para un avance financiero</p><p dir="ltr">En un contexto de inestabilidad global y crisis, es extremadamente importante encontrar una herramienta financiera que proteja el capital de manera confiable y lo haga crecer al mismo tiempo. UTLH cumple completamente con estos requisitos, combinando en sí mismo:</p><ul><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Aplicación práctica.</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Emisión limitada.</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Altos ingresos pasivos.</p></li><li dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">Fuerte apoyo comunitario.</p></li></ul><p dir="ltr">No dejes esta decisión para después. Invierte en UTLH ahora mismo y abre para ti un nuevo mundo de oportunidades y libertad financiera. ¡Este token no es solo un activo digital, sino tu llave personal para un futuro exitoso y estable!</p><p dir="ltr"> </p> |
