from Great Game India: In a recent letter (read below) from Pfizer, it was revealed that a young boy participating in their gene therapy trial for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) has passed away. The trial, known as Daylight, aimed to study the effects of Pfizer’s experimental gene therapy, called fordadistrogene movaparvovec, on boys aged 2 […]

There are about 20,000 different types of bees. They are divided into families, with honey bees making up a portion of the population. All bees are herbivores that get nutrition from flowers, in the form of pollen and nectar. Giant honey bees are classified as very dangerous due to their aggressive, defensive nature. Their stingers can measure as long as three millimeters or about one-eighth of an inch. One of giant honey bees’ primary defensive tactics is “shimmering.” Giant honeybees 'shimmering' waves behaviour when a predator approaches, A chemical called Nasonov pheromone is released to embolden them to stay together pic.twitter.com/hr52VsgcND— Science girl (@gunsnrosesgirl3) April 25, 2024 While this type of bee will attack in numbers to take down a large predator, only a few of the attacking bees will sting. They die after stinging an animal and use this tactic to preserve their numbers. The non-stinging bees will fly around the predator, making a loud buzzing noise. If a predator nears their nesting site, the giant honey bees will create a shimmering display of waves. This beautiful display happens when the bees raise their abdomens in a wave. Similar to a sports stadium wave, this creates a rippling movement, or shimmer, across the surface of the nesting area. Shimmering may deter threats such as wasps, small animals, and birds. When a guard bee initiates a wave, the action causes the release of Nasanov pheromone. The chemical pheromone works to keep the bees together as a unit. As the wave ripples across the surface of the nest, it creates a beautiful sight. It is impossible to show the progression of a shimmer in a still image, but the action creates a brief, dark ripple. Image from X. Giant honey bees have open nests, meaning they congregate in trees, near buildings, and open areas rather than within a hive. Please use caution if you see one in person.

Last weekend, SpaceX unveiled its new Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Suit, an important development in commercial space flight. The suit is very different from what we are used to seeing from NASA and Roscosmos. It’s a lot less bulky and it is designed with flexibility and comfort in mind.The design is based on (so very similar to) the SpaceX Intravehicular Activity (IVA) suit that astronauts and cosmonauts wear when traveling to the International Space Station in a SpaceX Crew Dragon Capsule. The new suit works both in pressurized and unpressurized environments and has new enhancements and redundancy to improve reliability during the spacewalk. An umbilical will provide life support for these suits, making them less mobile than the Extravehicular Mobility Unit, used on the ISS.The suit is designed with scalability in mind. The different components can be produced and put together for people of different body types, so as to not repeat the canceled first historical spacewalk of two women because NASA didn’t have the right size spacesuits available.The test of these spacesuits is coming sooner rather than later. They will be tested by the first mission of the Polaris Program, called Polaris Dawn. A Dragon capsule will fly to an orbit of 700 kilometers (435 miles) above the Earth. The date for this mission has not been announced yet, but it won’t be before this summer.This will be the first commercial spacewalk and it will also be the first time four people conduct a spacewalk at the same time. The capsule has no airlock so the whole capsule will be depressurized, so the entire crew might as well get out there and see what’s what.The mission will take a crew higher than other private missions have gone, passing temporarily through the radiation bands known as the Van Allen belts. Over five days, the team will conduct science experiments to better understand the effects of space travel on human physiology.They will also be the first crew to test Starlink laser-based communications in space. SpaceX envisions this to be an important technology development for the future of deep space communications, around Earth, the Moon, and even Mars. NASA has been testing this type of communication as well, sending messages from beyond the orbit of the Red Planet.SpaceX sees these suits as crucial to the plans to have millions of people on the Moon and Mars in the future – but we have recently seen that that goal is not as easy as it has been claimed to be.

In the quiet of a Monterrey, Mexico, farm, a security camera aimed at a dusty road captured an unusual sight in January—a small, dark figure darting across the terrain on two legs. The footage reveals a diminutive creature emerging from the dense foliage flanking the road, moving with haste and purpose before disappearing into the opposite thicket, reports coasttocoastam.com. The bipedal nature of its movement is the primary source of wonder, as it suggests a posture and gait not commonly associated with the local wildlife. Online communities have been abuzz with theories, with a portion of the audience inclined to believe that they’ve witnessed a creature of folklore come to life—a goblin, as some assert. This interpretation conjures images of mythical beings that have permeated cultural stories for generations, often described as mischievous or elusive. Conversely, there are those who approach the video with a more analytical eye, suggesting that the figure could be an animal native to the region, its appearance distorted by the camera’s perspective or the play of light and shadow. This group calls for a rational explanation, pointing out that the natural world is full of anomalies that can sometimes be mistaken for the supernatural. Was it a transient anomaly, a trick of the light, or something truly unexplained? The post CCTV camera captured a goblin-like creature running across the road appeared first on Anomalien.com.

WiiM has announced two new audiophile streaming devices for the high end of its wireless audio streaming devices. Called the WiiM Ultra and the WiiM Amp Pro, both support AirPlay 2, Chromecast, DLNA, and several other streaming protocols and will be available this summer. Both devices are equipped with a 32-bit / 384kHz ES9038 Q2M Sabre DAC. (Last year’s Wiim Amp used an ES9018 Sabre DAC instead). They also use Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless connectivity, and they each sport the same shrunken-down Mac Studio look. WiiM says the two devices also automatically tune audio output to the room they’re in. Image: Courtesy of WiiM The WiiM Ultra, front and back. But the WiiM Ultra has a 3.5mm touchscreen on...
