A man has been arrested in New York in connection with the death of a woman who was set on fire on a subway train in Brooklyn. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch described the incident on Sunday as "one of the most depraved crimes one person could possibly commit against another human being". She said the woman was on a stationary F train to Brooklyn when she was approached by a man who used a lighter to ignite her clothing. The victim died at the scene, she said, adding that the suspect had been arrested following a tip-off from a group of high school students as he rode the subway later on Sunday.Police said the woman, who has not been named, was in a subway carriage at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue station in Brooklyn at about 07:30 local time (12:30 GMT) when a man approached her. There was no interaction before the attack, police said, adding that they did not believe the two people knew each other. The man got off the train as police officers on patrol in the station rushed to the fire. "Officers were on patrol on an upper level of that station, smelled and saw smoke and went to investigate," Ms Tisch said. "What they saw was a person standing inside the train car fully engulfed in flames." Police are still working to identify the victim and the motive for the attack."Unbeknownst to the officers who responded, the suspect had stayed on the scene and was seated on a bench on the platform just outside the train car," Ms Tisch added. She explained responding officers were able to get a "very clear, detailed" look at the man and images were disseminated by the New York Police Department (NYPD). Later, three high school-aged New Yorkers called 911 to report they recognised the suspect on another train, Ms Tisch told reporters. The man was then located after officers boarded the train and walked through the subway carriages. He was arrested at Herald Square station - which is located in near to the Empire State Building in Manhattan. The man was found with a lighter in his pocket, the police commissioner said. "I want to thank the young people who called 911 to help," Ms Tisch added. "They saw something, they said something and they did something."The man, who was not publicly identified, emigrated from Guatemala to the US in 2018, the NYPD's Joseph Gulotta said. Gulotta explained detectives are still trying to establish whether the victim was asleep when she was set on fire. "She's definitely there, she's motionless," Mr Gulotta added. "So to say if she's asleep or not, we're not 100% sure, but it appears that she's motionless at that spot. "There is no interaction between the two. And when the incident happens, there is no interaction between them."

doc, and a professor are walking through a city park and they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out in a puff of smoke. The Genie says, "I usually only grant three wishes, so I'll give each of you just one." "Me first! Me first!" says the grad student. "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat with a gorgeous woman who sunbathes topless." Poof! He's gone. "Me next! Me next!" says the post--‐doc. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with a professional hula dancer on one side and a Mai Tai on the other." Poof! He's gone. "You're next," the Genie says to the professor. The professor says, "I want those guys back in the lab after lunch." A couple of country boys rented a boat and went fishing. In a remote part of the lake they found a spot where the fish were really biting. “We’d better mark this spot so we can come back tomorrow,” one of them said. “O.K., I’ll do it,” the second one said. When they got back to the dock, the first one asked, “Did you mark that spot?” “Sure,” said the second. “I put a chalk mark on the side of the boat.” “You nitwit,” said the first. “How do you know we’ll get the same boat tomorrow?” a guy takes his nasty dog for a walk every night and manages to beat up another dog every night. one night while walking his dog he comes upon this guy walking a yellow dog, he unleases his nasty dog saying "go get him boy", as he runs up to the yellow dog, the yellow dog grabs him by the neck, shakes him a couple of times, flips him over and breakes his neck and the nasty dog is dead. the owner of the nasty dog says wow! thats the first time in two years that my dog has lost a fight, what kind of dog do you have? the other guy says " before i cut off his tail and painted him yellow, he used to be an alligater!!! ************************************************************************************

There is a famous Oromo story. In an Oromo village, there lived a wise old man named Robele Megera. One day, he saw two dogs belonging to two neighbors fighting. This wise old man said, “Let’s help these dogs; otherwise, their problems will be shared with all of us. The problems in the world are caused by dogs that cannot think beyond their bones.” The elders and passersby in the area were surprised by the old man’s words and laughed at him, saying, “What can two dogs fighting do?” Meanwhile, a boy from the two neighbors came out and saw the dogs fighting. Thinking that his dog was the one who was being attacked, he brought a stick and beat the other dog. The other boy came out from the other house and started beating that dog. The matter spread to the two boys and instead of the dogs, the boys started fighting. The old man said, “Please reconcile these boys.” The people there said, “Let them fight,” and they passed by like a ghost. While the boys were fighting, one of the boys’ mothers appeared. The other boy started beating that boy with a stick. Hearing her son’s screams, the other mother also came. The boys’ fight stopped and the fight was between the two mothers. Robele said, “Please, let’s reconcile them before this fight spreads and involves all of us.” But the onlookers were enjoying the fight between the two as if it were a free fight. Some elders ignored them, saying, “What good will it do if two women fight?” A man stepped into the middle of the crowd. It was the husband of one of them. He said, “How dare you insult my wife?” and started beating the other woman. At that moment, the other husband, who heard the news, came running and broke up the fight. Robelle Magera still said, “Please stop; this fight will save the country.” But they did not listen. Everyone was only concerned about his own children, wives, and homes. The men were angry and told their children and wives not to enter. The fight between the two husbands intensified. The people began to surround him. In the meantime, they began to fight each other, saying that they were from the same tribe. Among those who stood there, those who said that they were from that tribe also started to fight. As the tribes of the two people were different, the fight grew into a tribe. Not only swords and arrows, but also weapons were added. The looting of houses, burning, and killings became more and more frequent. The village became a battlefield. Eighty-eight people from both sides died. The fight stopped with so much suffering. The shepherd was also sad. “If we had stopped the dogs when they were fighting, the tribes would not have fought,” he said. The elders sat down. According to tradition, for each dead soul, a person from the other side is killed or a hundred cattle are given. If this is the case, then eight hundred cattle from both sides are required. In addition to the death of a person from the other side, sixteen people are killed. The number of dead has increased to thirty-two. This matter worried the elders. At this point, Robele stood up. "If you had listened to me earlier, you would have been sent. Each of us has killed for ourselves, not for others, and finally the time has come for us. We have reached this point where we have failed to say, 'Leave the dogs alone.' Whenever wars break out, the saying 'Leave the dogs alone' is disappearing. Neighbor and neighbor, tribe and tribe, king and king, country and country, Islam and Christianity, village and village, the one who fights is disappearing. The origin of war is dogs. The dogs that started the fight with bones cost us lives. These dogs are dogs that cannot think beyond bones. Their only goal is to fight bones. If the country is destroyed, if life is destroyed, if property is destroyed, what do they care about. How can dogs that cannot think beyond bones cost us all this? "You who saw those dogs only saw that they were not your dogs. How can we be peaceful while others are angry? How can we live safely while others are fighting? How can we be satisfied while others are hungry? It is impossible. "We must not lose any more lives, nor our cattle; bring the silver coins of each of you from both sides; and throw them into the river, and let everyone take the donkey; but you will be forgiven," he said, and they were reconciled. If we had not "let go" of the dogs, no one could have imagined the final outcome. When the dogs called Hitler and Mussolini rose, no one could have said "let go" and set the world on fire. At that time, various sources were saying that the Jews were suffering, but the West, who had made us laugh, saw them congratulating Hitler at the Berlin Olympics. And so, in the end, the donkey was spared for them. The first Emperor Haile Selassie appeared at the World Assembly and told the dogs to "leave them alone." Many of them barked like dogs themselves.They tried to suppress the emperor's speech, but they failed. In the end, the dogfight turned into a world war. Today, the world is worried about Iran's nuclear weapons. When the Iranians did not know that there was such a thing as nuclear weapons, the world watched in silence as they knocked on their doors. If they had told the dogs to "leave them alone," then Israel and America would not have been so worried. When America deployed Bin Laden to expel the Soviet Union from Afghanistan, it saved itself and the world from the suffering it had caused. As the saying goes, the dog I raised bit me, the horse I rode jumped me. The French at the time watched in silence as the dogs who broadcasted a program that divided Rwanda into ethnic groups and killed people were killed. When the Rwandan genocide began, many, including the government of the Rwandan government, saw and heard them. The dogs that were abandoned and the fire that the dogs brought ignited a fire that burned East and Central Africa. That is why it is necessary to say “abandon” in time to the dogs that cannot think beyond the bones. In Ethiopia, when it is said that a church has been burned, it is being watched in silence. It is absolutely unacceptable that this evil act represents any religious community. But both Muslims and Christians should “abandon” the dogs that are stoking this fire. Otherwise, the end will come to all of us and we will have to pay a heavy price. These dogs cannot think beyond the daily bone. They only know that they have found a bone by fighting with others for a while. Here, an eye gouging, there, acid throwing, there, child rape, here, homosexuality, there, mutilation, here, dousing with cold water, the media shouts, whispers, and sometimes it is called a crime. But those who give up the dogs are disappearing. I do not understand those who give up the dogs who rape these children, who mutilate the bodies of our sisters, who commit barbaric acts with a ferocious spirit. The saying goes that we all wake up when our doors are knocked, when our children are touched, when our bodies are mutilated, when our sisters are raped. Oh, let's leave the dogs alone. The smugglers and smugglers, who cannot think beyond making money, who do not care about the honor of the country, the dignity of citizens, and the humanity of human beings, are recruiting Ethiopians who do not know anything from their villages, and are being kept quiet while they are illegally crossing into the Arab world in what seems like legal ways. Just as the dogs only see their bones, they only see their money. They do not understand where the person they are sending will fall, what will happen to him, how he will be. But the people are suffering. Sending human resources to Arab countries did not start with us. Indians, Filipinos, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Sudanese, Egyptians are flooding in. But there is no one who suffers as much as our people. Why? The one who leaves the dogs is disappearing. The one who says your dog will survive for the country and the people is disappearing, the one who draws a line is disappearing. Today, some countries have come to the point of saying, "We will not give you a visa, we will not accept you," because of the illegality of people who do not feel responsible and think only of their own bones, like dogs. The teachings, writings, speeches, songs, and practices that make us harbor resentment against one faith, one nation, one party, and one another are being silently observed. We should say goodbye to these dogs who cannot think beyond temporary power, position, money, invitations, and applause. Some of us are ours, while others are affected by those outside of us. But let us not forget that our house is made of glass. If we don't let the dogs go, the fire they started to spread like wildfire could eventually destroy all of our homes. And he told the dogs to "leave them alone" from Abu Dhabi.When it began, many, including the governments of the West, were seen and heard, and many were not.

His full name is Nicholas James Vujicic. He was born in 1982 (G.C) in Australia. As you can see in this picture, he lost his arms and legs at birth due to tetra-amelia syndrome. While in such a terrible and exhausting situation, he realized something. “There is no one to strengthen and encourage me except myself.” He began to love himself. He continued to see himself as a popular man with good prospects for life. He changed his negative view of himself. He began to dream good dreams for his life. Nick Vujicic, in 2005, was able to found the international organization ‘Life Without Limbs’ and the organization ‘Attitude is Altitude’, which provides inspiring and educational advice. This mighty man did many ‘wonderful!’ great things despite being a man without arms or legs. Throughout his life, he has been among the most successful people in the world. Nick Vujicic starred in ‘The Butterfly Circus’. He won the Best Actor award at the 2010 Method Fest Indepeendent Film Festval. This man without arms or legs wrote and published many books despite living such a difficult life. His first book, “Life Without Limits,” was especially popular, being translated into more than 30 languages around the world. To this day, the book is widely read as a book that changes lives dramatically. The man, who was born with a disability but full vision, has traveled to more than 57 countries to give educational, inspiring and motivational speeches. Everywhere he goes, he starts his speeches with a strong statement: “No matter how difficult your situation is, you will win.” In his book Life Without Limits, he wrote a quote: “I believe my life has no limits. I want you to think about your life accordingly. Think accordingly if you have any obstacles in life. Now we have started the journey of life together. Think of all the problems you have brought into your life or allowed others to do to you. Imagine what you could create if you were free of these problems and obstacles in life.” Despite the content of his book, the brief history teaches a great deal about this brave man. It is not to give up. 👉I have no doubt that you who are reading this story will learn something amazing from it. I believe that in your thoughts you are comparing the success of this man born without arms and legs with your life story. Asking yourself, ‘Where did he start and where did he end up?’ I guess you’re wondering where you might end up from. Yes, I have arranged this story in this way because I wanted you to think so, not so that you can rub your nose in sorrow about this man's injuries. He is not someone today whom people feel sorry for and say, 'They will eat me!' He is married and has children with his wife and is living a comfortable and successful life. He is working and earning a good income and is economically independent. The loss of arms and legs did not make him dependent on human hands; he did not limit his life. I understand, your situation may be difficult for you. You may have lost someone to hold your hand and tell you to be strong. Also, external pressures and various factors may make it seem impossible to achieve your goals. I will remind you of something here. Just like Nick Vujicic said ‘no one can honest me but myself’, honest yourself. Strengthen yourself and keep going. Don’t worry about your injuries, about your poverty, about your loss of relatives, about the problems surrounding your life in general. Have a positive view of yourself. If you are strong, there will be no obstacles that will limit your life.

Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, was expelled from school as a child for failing his studies. One day his teacher wrote him a letter and told him to go in and give it to his family. The letter reads as follows. “Your Tom can’t learn,so don’t send him to school again!” she wrote a letter and handed it to him. Edison couldn't read it, so he put the letter in as it was without opening it and gave it to his mother. His mother read the letter and wept bitterly. He said to his mother.....“What happened?” he asked the scientist. She said....“Your Tommy is strong!” your teacher wrote me a letter......“You are not going to school anymore. I’ll teach you at home!” she said to Tommy According to his story, Thomas Edison studied for only two months. But, he is the father of the discovery of the world that is giving us light. He tried 9999 times to invent the light bulb, and succeeded 10000 times. He even finally invented a light bulb and gave it to one of his servants to get up somewhere. He picked it up and immediately the bulb hit the palm floor and shattered. When Edison gets tired of the current exertion.....the current time and breaks down, it's not too annoying. Annoying to be honest! Again, he did not give up. It's doing it again. He worked and gave it back to the same worker the first day It is very easy to learn from this work of #Edison that trying again and again leads to success. That includes not giving up hope. #HenryFord the inventor of the automobile, once said to Edison...“This is impossible at all;come and work with me in my company!” he said, smirking. And he didn’t hear that. Finally, he made a light bulb...“That one you said was impossible;it is possible!” I was able to show him the bulb. Awesome! The 16th President of the United States, #AbrahamLincoln, was 52 years old. Before that, however, he had many failures in his life. But, he could not give up hope for the current protests and failures. I tried again and again and succeeded Former South African leader, #NelsanMandela spent 27 years in prison to bring freedom to black people. From there he became President of South Africa. He was also able to ensure equality between Whites and Blacks. He was also awarded the prestigious #NobelPeacePrize. Awesome. Everything requires determination

Could this be what our home on Moon or Mars might look like?

Could this egg-shaped structure be what the future home of Indian astronauts in space looks like? The Hab-1 - short for Habitat-1 – is Indian space agency Isro's first-ever "analog mission" which means simulation of space conditions to prepare astronauts for real space missions. It was recently tested for three weeks in the high Himalayan mountains of Ladakh. Space architect Aastha Kacha-Jhala, from Gujarat-based firm Aaka, told the BBC that these simulations help identify and address issues astronauts and equipment might face before space missions. Built with space-grade Teflon and insulated with industrial-use foam, Hab-1 has a bed, a stowaway tray which can be pulled out and used as a workstation, storage space to keep supplies and emergency kits, a kitchenette for heating meals and a toilet. An astronaut in simulation spent three weeks holed up in the facility. "Hab-1 is designed keeping in mind that space is going to be very limited on the Moon or Mars," Ms Kacha-Jhala says. "The astronaut will also have very limited water so we designed a dry toilet. We also put in place a system for a proper disposal of waste and ensured that the habitat remained odour-free." She is now in talks with Isro to build India's first permanent simulation space facility in Ladakh. The mission comes at a time when India is preparing to send its first astronauts into space. Isro's Gaganyaan mission plans to place three astronauts into low-Earth orbit at an altitude of 400km (248 miles) for three days. If all goes according to plan, the mission will launch sometime next year. India also plans to set up its first space station by 2035 and send a man to the Moon by 2040. Nasa, European Space Agency, Russia, China and other countries and private firms with space programmes run dozens of simulation missions and two of the four Indian astronauts selected for the Gaganyaan mission are being trained at Nasa at the moment. "Once we have our own simulation mission, we won't have to depend on foreign space agencies to train our astronauts," says Prof Subrat Sharma, Dean of Research Studies at Ladakh University which collaborated on the project.Ladakh, he told the BBC, was chosen for the experiment because "from a geographical perspective, its rocky, barren landscape and soil have similarities with the material and rocks found on Mars and some parts of the lunar terrain which make it ideal for space research". The soil samples collected during the mission are being tested by the university to see if astronauts will be able to use locally-sourced materials to build homes in space.The Himalayan region on the India-China border is located at a height of 3,500 metres (11,483ft) and has extreme climatic conditions and thin air. In a day, the temperature here can shift from a maximum of 20C to a minimum of -18C. It's no match for Mars (where temperatures can go below -153C) or Moon (where -250C is the norm in some deep craters), but still, it's a test of human endurance. And as Prof Sharma says, "since you can't go to space to test every time, you need these facilities where space-like conditions can be created". Also, he adds, Ladakh is one region of India where barren land stretches for miles and miles, "giving you the feeling of being alone on the planet". And that's exactly how the simulation astronaut, who spent three weeks confined in the capsule in the icy cold desert, felt. Chandrayaan-3: India makes historic landing near Moon's south pole "I was isolated from the human environment. Every move that I made was scheduled, when to wake up, what to do when and when to sleep? A 24x7 camera monitored every move and sent data about my activities and health to the back office," the 24-year-old who did not want to be named told me. "The initial few days," he said, "were great, but then it began to feel repetitive and it started to get to me. It started impacting my daily performance. My sleep schedule was affected a little and my concentration deteriorated." The simulation astronaut wore biometric devices to monitor his sleep pattern, heart rate and stress levels. His blood and saliva were tested daily to see how he was coping.Scientists say simulating psychological factors to see how they would impact humans in space is one of the most important parts of the mission. With space agencies from across the world aiming to send astronauts to the Moon and set up permanent bases there in the coming years, simulation missions are expected to play a crucial role in research and training.n April, a team of scientists and engineers began trials in Oregon to prepare Nasa's robot dog – Lassie – to walk on the Moon's surface. In July, four volunteers emerged after spending a year at an "analog" facility, specially built in Texas to simulate life on Mars. And according to the Economist magazine, Nasa hopes to 3D-print a base using only materials found on the Moon's surface, while China and Russia are collaborating on their own plans.⁠ India doesn't want to be left behind. Prof Sharma says once the data gathered in Ladakh is analysed, it "will help us develop medical technology to deal with the needs of our astronauts when they face a problem in space". "We need to know how our bodies will function on the Moon where days and nights are a lot longer than on Earth. Or in space where there's not enough oxygen" he says.

An 8-¬‐year-¬‐old girl went to her dad, who was working in the yard. She asked him, "Daddy, what is sex?" The father was surprised that she would ask such a question, but decides that if she is old enough to ask the question, then she is old enough to get a straight answer. He proceeded to tell her all about the 'birds and the bees'. When he finished explaining, the little girl was looking at him with her mouth hanging open. The father asked her, "Why did you ask this question?" The little girl replied, "Mom told me to tell you that dinner would be ready in just a couple of secs." ****************************************************************************** A grad student, a post--‐doc, and a professor are walking through a city park and they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out in a puff of smoke. The Genie says, "I usually only grant three wishes, so I'll give each of you just one." "Me first! Me first!" says the grad student. "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat with a gorgeous woman who sunbathes topless." Poof! He's gone. "Me next! Me next!" says the post--‐doc. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with a professional hula dancer on one side and a Mai Tai on the other." Poof! He's gone. "You're next," the Genie says to the professor. The professor says, "I want those guys back in the lab after lunch." **************************************************************************** Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. Then when you do criticize them, you'll be a mile away and have their shoes.

Who invented cement and when was cement invented? The history of cement is fascinating, but it is important to establish from the outset that cement and concrete are different substances entirely. Despite people colloquially referring to these words as synonymous, concrete is the hard substance that makes up many buildings and sidewalks, and cement is the binding agent inside of it. Joseph Aspdin (25 December 1778 – 20 March 1855) was an English bricklayer, businessman, inventor, and stonemason who obtained the patent for Portland cement on 21 October 1824. Joseph Aspdin applied for a patent on this material he invented in his kitchen. He received it in 1824 with the patent number BP 5022. He named his new material Portland Cement. Portland Stone was quarried in England and had very high repute for being strong, high quality, and beautiful. The color of cement was similar to Portland Stone once it was cured and dried. Aspdin thought that naming his invention after something so reputable would help his business thrive, and he was right. He partnered in business with his neighbor, William Beverley. While his business selling Portland Cement was successful at the time, his invention wasn't as hugely widespread during his lifetime as it is in the modern world. Joseph Aspdin seemed to think this new material would be most useful as a beautiful facade for homes and other buildings. However, the material is now used as the primary building block of construction, ranging from highways and roads to buildings and monuments. His original formula was modified by his son, William Aspdin, into the final form used today.
