Saudi Arabia has become the first country to give citizenship to a robot.
It is a humanoid robot Sophia, designed to look like Odri Hepburn, RT writes, broadcast by Večernji.hr.
Citizenship news was announced at the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh.
"I am very honored and proud," said Sophia answering questions from moderator Andrew Rose Sorkin.
Sophia, for the Hong Kong company "Hanson Robotics", was designed by
David Henson, known as the author of robots that resemble people.
In Riyadh, she showed the possibilities of expressing her face.
"I want to live and work with people, so I have to express my feelings to understand people and build trust," Sophia said.
Asked if the robots could be self-conscious, she replied, "How do you know that you are a man?"
"I want to use my own intelligence to help people live better," Sophia said.
Asked about the fear that the robots dominated the world, Tesla's
head, Ilona Maska, was known for warning of the negative potentials of
artificial intelligence.
"You are reading too much of Ilona Maska and watching too many Hollywood films. Do not worry, if you're good to me, I'll be good to you, "said Sophia.
Some inventions created by women can be compared to the largest male names such as Nikola Tesla, Alfred Nobel and many others.
Their ideas changed the life of the day, but they are still used to a great extent today. Although we use them daily, few know that we have them thanks to women's ideas.Wipers on the car
Mari Anderson back in 1903 remembered that wipers on the car would be extremely useful.
A stick with a rubber adhesive that patches on glass patented a year later. Although her idea has been incorporated into serial production only a
few decades later, today we can not even imagine driving in a canned
animal without its simple but very important invention.Monopoly
Elizabeth Magi is the main and responsible for one of the most popular social games of all time.
This game was originally called "The Landlord's Game" and was designed and patented in 1903. Although today's purpose is good entertainment and socializing with
family and friends, this designer has designed the game to demonstrate a
tragic effect that brings greed and greed.Solar heating
Hungarian Marija Telkes, MD, is responsible for the first heating system for solar energy.
In 1925 she moved to the US and recruited on a project that dealt exclusively with these issues. In 1940, she developed and made available the first solar heating
system for households, and another successful woman, architect Elenor
Raymond, helped her in the realization of the project.A beer
Although we can not safely say who was the first to produce beer, what
kind of pleasure we drink today, the data that researchers come from
historians say that it was a woman, or rather a woman.
Namely 7,000 years ago in Mesopotamia, women were in charge of beer production. It was a skill that was known only to members of the sexiest sex. Beer was then considered a divine gift, and according to its
popularity today, it remained one of the most popular drinks of all
time, all thanks to the valuable female hands.Fire stairs
The
first fire extinguishing stairs on the outside of the building, which
in the event of a fire hazard should facilitate the evacuation, was
invented by Ana Konli in 1897. Her idea was accepted by numerous architects, and this idea has been held to this day.Pancirka
Believe it or not, a protective ballistic vest, better known as a bunch, was invented by a woman.
Her
name is Stefani Kvolek, and the research she conducted resulted in the
invention of a bunch, specifically of materials used in their making. The invention was patented in 1966.
But that was not her only invention. In
a rich, 40-year-long career, this woman has patented over 40 different
inventions and has been included in the Inventors Hall of Fame.
As polygamy is legal in Indonesia, it means that a man can have four women - as long as he can sustain them. However, there are rare cases when the groom decides to marry two women during one ceremony!
It is exactly this kind of wedding that will soon take place in
Indonesia, and the invitation has become a hit on Indonesian social
networks.
This
is an extremely impatient polygamous groom who wants to stand up
against the already established system and marry two women at once. Many comment that the invitation for this double wedding looks
extremely bizarre because it contains a picture of a groom with both
young people, which is even for Indonesia too.
And
while it is common for a traditional Indonesian to marry more women, it
always works separately because it obeys every woman individually. This
newly created situation with a double wedding has been condemned by the
Indonesian public, as many believe it is degrading to both women. It
is interesting that hard-core polygamists are also against this
practice because there is a belief that a man must live with a woman
before finding and marrying another. There are those who are so incredible to think it's a joke, but it's not.
The
news of this unusual wedding was first published by Indonesian portal
Detik, which confirmed that it was a credible wedding invitation. Detective
Detectives were even visited by the village of Teluk Kidgin, from where
the groom and conversation with the elders of the village. One
of the villagers who introduced himself as Panser says that the bride
with a woman will marry on November 5, and on the second on November 8,
but the wedding ceremony will be common and will be held on November
9th. It is assumed that the groom has done this because of lower costs,
which will make the young people have one wedding celebration.
As the villager said, the groom is known in the village as Cindra, and the young are from neighboring villages. Apparently, Cindra has already talked with the families of the girls
about a joint wedding, and the families agreed to such an arrangement.
And
while this is rare in Indonesia, village elders claim this is not the
first time that some of them marry at the same time with two women. The head of the village of Praseng says that such cases were before:
"I
think this is the third similar case. So, since separate weddings are
really expensive, Cindra decided to put together these two weddings and
solve everything at once," Praseng says. He adds that all families have agreed to this, so there are no problems.
Otherwise, in Indonesia, there is an application for searching for another, third or fourth wife. This is the application "AyoPoligami" where now potential grooms can find additional wives. "Make Polygamy" would be a literal translation of the name of this application. Her creator described her as a platform that connects male users to women who are ready to be part of a large family.
NEW
YORK - Many have often wondered why the money is used on the streets of
New York, which comes out of thick tubes of white or orange. In fact, it is a steam network that is used as a system of heating and cooling in hundreds of New York skyscrapers
The steam system, which was designed and built back in 1880 on Manhattan Island, is still actively used today. The steam pipes are located below the city of New York at a length of 170 kilometers.
Couple produced in huge boards, for heating and cooling purposes, is
transmitted to about 2,000 buildings in New York including the Empire
State Building, the Metropolitan Museum, the United Nations Headquarters
building.
In addition, steam is also used in the kitchens of many New York
restaurants, such as dishwashers, hospitals, sterilizing medical
equipment, and chemical cleaning products.
The steam system in New York during the winter for heating produces
five thousand tons of steam per hour, while in the summer it also
provides the necessary quantities needed for the kilma devices.
Kons
Edison, a New York-based dealer, says Manhattan's panorama would be
completely different, so that the steam system was not formed. Because, as they have said, using steam in New York's warming and
cooling systems over the course of a year is preventing the release of
1.2 million tons of carbon dioxide, thus providing a much cleaner source
of energy.
Steam,
in addition to being manufactured in large boards, it comes with
evaporation of water that falls on the steam pipe system. Therefore, there is much more money in the winter, when there is much more rain and snow.
As a steam that leaks beneath the ground, it will not interfere with
pedestrians and drivers on the streets of New York, high tensile steam
pipes are installed.
In 2007, one of the steam pipes was exploded in New York City, and then one person died. After
that, a series of discussions on the safety of steam pipelines was
launched, as it was an infrastructure older than 100 years.
The Siberian Taiga is one of the most insecure places in the world,
and besides, it is also an awkward terrain to travel through it as an
almost impossible place to live.
Short summers and long winter winters make it almost impossible to
accommodate people there, which is why Taiga in Siberia is one of the
largest uninhabited areas of the world.
The area of 8.1 million square kilometers covers as much as 10
percent of the Earth's land surface, and its inhabitants are mostly
bears and foxes during the day, while wolves are woken at night.
The average temperature is minus 5 Celsius, and the record temperature is 67.7 below zero.
You've probably heard stories about Japanese soldiers who occasionally
knew how to come out of the jungle unaware that the war had ended, but
this is even more amazing story - about families and who did not even
know that World War II came.
The incredible fate of ignorance was held by a Russian family who
spent more than 40 years in the abyss of the Siberian Taiga, and in 1987
they encountered geologists researchers.
They found out that the Lykov family lived in complete isolation for decades. They belonged to the "Old Ritualists", a branch of the Russian
Orthodox Church which separated from the queen in the middle of the 17th
century due to the condemnation of the reform.
Before 1936 the family lived in the settled part of Russia, but after
one of the brothers was killed by the Soviet patrol, Father Lykov
gathered his family and fled to the depths of the Siberian Taiga, and
after that day they were never seen again.
For
more than 40 years Karp Lykov lived in a wooden hut he built with his
wife and children, just a few kilometers away from the border with
Mongolia. When they decided to go into a secret, there were four of them - Karp and Akulina's wife, son of Savin and daughter Natalia.
Two more children were born in the wild, Dmitry 1940 and Agafia 1943.
They had books for prayer and the old Bible, from which children learned
to read and write.
They ate berries, grown their own vegetables and wore clothes from the fabric they made.
They learned how to hunt without guns, but without an arrow.
When Dmitry grew up, he became a real hunting expert, so good he was hunting for a boson after winter. In the late 1950s, due to the extremely difficult winter, the family
was famished, and Akulina suffered and died, leaving her husband alone
with children.
When geologists found them in 1978, they could not believe that
someone survived in those conditions, which literally looked like those
of the Middle Ages.
Despite
the years of isolation, Karp welcomed them kindly, and he refused
everything offered by geologists, except for salt - they did not taste
for more than 40 years. Scientists informed and informed them - they had no idea that the
Second World War broke out, that people landed on the Moon, and baptized
the "modern wonders" that geologists had with them.
Karp was particularly fascinated, staring at the transparency of the film brought by the researchers.
"Lord, what is it, the glass is, but the crowd is," he wondered.
In the autumn of 1981, three out of four children - Dmitry, Natalia
and Savin, died in a few days apart from one another, demonstrating a
great connection.
The two suffered a kidney failure, while Savin died of pneumonia.
Geologists
came in on a few occasions, and they urged Karpa and his daughter Agaif
to move in with relatives who lived about 240 kilometers away, but they
refused. Karp
died in February 1988, and the only surviving daughter of Agaifa was
left alone in a wooden hut, forced to crawl in the wild
This couple will definitely have something to talk to their grandchildren. The response of this girl to the affair is so hilarious that she's seen more than 24 million times.
According
to the reaction of this girl, it can be concluded that she was not at
the bottom of her mind the thought that the boy could ask her.
This happened on the apple plantation. She baked an apple indefinitely when he knelt, showed the ring, and asked, "Will you marry me?"
The girl hit him first with an apple and said, "You're lying." Then she jumped to him with happiness and knocked him down to the ground. In the end, tears went down her face. She said yes.
Statistics in the United States are disturbing enough: two million
people each year are infected with a bacterial infection that is
difficult or impossible to cure with antibiotics.
More than 23,000 people die of such an infection. Doctors, who recently gathered in Berlin, warn that the situation is deteriorating.
Every time you use antibacterial soap or use antibiotics to fight infection, some bacteria survive. Medical officials at a conference in Berlin warn that these bacteria lead us to the postantibiotic apocalypse.
"We
are talking about an increase in the number of superb bacteria, the
death of modern medicine, post-antibiotic apocalypse. Why do I say this?
Not only do we need antibiotics in everyday life because of bacterial
infections, not naturally for viral infections, but in fact a large
number of people are susceptible to infections in their treatments , cancer treatment or transplantation, there are also patients with
diabetes who are more prone to infection, and we could lose the
effectiveness of patient care, "said Sali Davies, a health official from
England.
In the postantibiotic world, these experts predict that any invasive
medical procedure will become much more dangerous, from complicated
operations, to ordinary, minor procedures.
"Imagine routine surgery, cesarean surgery, hip replacement, they
could become much more risky if we did not have effective antibiotics.
Superb bacteria kill, and all of them are more," Davis said.
Therefore, these medical officials invite states not only to reduce
the use of antibiotics, but to prepare for the worst by making national
action plans ready for the day when antibiotics will no longer be
effective.
"We
need to see real work to ensure that we use antibiotics only if they
are really needed. We need to think in the way that antibiotics get only
those who are really needed, we recognize that in most of the poorest
countries people do not have access to the same antibiotics as in rich
countries and It kills hundreds of thousands of people every year, so we need to
ensure that access and resources are better, "says Ed Wayting of the
Wellcome Trust organization.
The problem and urgency that could have been heard at the conference
was that antibiotics prevailed so much that they literally had
everywhere.
"We
need to understand how it works together, because you have the presence
of antibiotics in the waste, especially in the natural environment, you
have antibiotics that are used in the food chain and antibiotics that
people use. We know that too much is bad, but we do not know how they
work together and we need to understand it better, "Whiteing points out.
Researchers at the conference have discovered a new way to map the spread of bacteria resistant to drugs. They
estimate that 700,000 people worldwide die each year from
bacterial-resistant infections, and this number could increase to 10
million per year by 2050.
At one conference in October 1920 in France, the way we travel is forever changed. Then a modern passport was created.
The passports of all countries look similar: They have a similar number of pages, size and design.
This
is because the League of Nations, an organization for the preservation
of the world peace established after the First World War, established a
framework of rules for printing passports during the Paris Conference. Then, for the first time, a set of standards for all member states was established.
Prior to the First World War, passports were not needed for traveling across Europe, and crossing the border was very simple. However, everything changed in the war.
European governments had to limit immigration and travel for safety reasons, and checks were stricter.
After the war, the maintenance of fragile security was a priority, but
the lack of standardized traveler data documents made it much more
difficult for the border guards.
Everything and when people had all the documents with them, there could be a suspicion of their authenticity.
The Paris Conference on Passports and Customs formalities and travel
cards prescribed the dimensions and design of travel documents for the
42 member countries of the League of Nations.
At
that time, the passport had to have dimensions of 15.5cm x 10.5cm, 32
pages, of which the first four would include a description of the
owner's appearance and personal data, while the other 28 would have
recorded visas to enter those countries where the passport was valid .
All passports had to have a cardboard tie, and on the front cover the name and the coat of arms of the state.
Although the standards are now under the auspices of the United
Nations International Civil Aviation Organization, the design of the
passport is virtually unchanged for nearly 100 years.
The
most important changes in the standards were the introduction of a
watermark, and then the installation of chips with biometric data.
