When India accidentally wiped out its vultures, half a million people died in five years.

The bird doing zoomies in this video runs the most extreme digestive system in the animal kingdom. Vulture stomach acid sits near pH 1, strong enough to destroy anthrax, rabies, and botulism in the carcasses they eat. A flock strips a cow to bone in about 45 minutes.

India had 50 million of them. Free sanitation at national scale, in a country where religious custom means most cattle die natural deaths and every dead cow becomes a carcass someone has to deal with.

Then the patent on diclofenac expired in 1994. Farmers started using the cheap painkiller on livestock. Trace amounts left in a carcass cause kidney failure in vultures. Within a decade, 50 million birds fell to a few thousand. The fastest collapse of any bird species since the passenger pigeon.

The carcasses didn't disappear. Feral dogs took the vultures' place and brought rabies with them. Rotting remains leached into waterways. In districts where vultures once thrived, human death rates rose more than 4 percent. Economists at Chicago and Warwick put the toll at 100,000 extra deaths a year and $69 billion in annual damages.

So yes, the goofy bird sprinting down the walkway is adorable. It's also a disease firewall that evolution spent millions of years building and one generic painkiller nearly erased in ten.

Na današnji dan 1992.godine u Zavidovićima ubijen je vojni policajac Refik Višća.
Refik je pokušao spasiti 12 srpskih zarobljenika koje je pijani vojnik želio ubiti.
Ubio ga je Jasmin Viković(21).
Svi zarobljeni Srbi su preživjeli zahvaljujući Refiku.
Vječni rahmet Refiku!

1903 - THE MATCH GIRLS WITH ROTTING JAWS, LONDON

This photo was taken in 1903 inside the Bryant & May match factory in Bow, East London.

Look at the young women's faces. Their jaws are swollen, rotting, glowing in the dark. They are teenagers — 14, 15, 16 years old. This disease was called "Phossy Jaw."

Their job was dipping matches into white phosphorus. White phosphorus is poison. Every day they breathed it. First their teeth fell out. Then their gums turned green and black. Then their entire jawbone rotted and had to be cut out by a doctor with no painkiller. Some died screaming.

The factory owners knew. They knew since 1880 that white phosphorus kills. But it was cheap. Safer red phosphorus cost 3 times more. So they kept using white.

These girls worked 14 hours, 6 days a week, for 4 shillings. If they talked, they were fined. If they dropped a match, they were beaten. Their faces glowed at night from the phosphorus — they called them "ghosts" on the streets of London.

In 1888, 1,400 of them went on strike. All teenagers. Led by a 16-year-old girl named Sarah Chapman. They marched to Parliament with their swollen faces and said: "We would rather starve than rot."

London was shocked. And finally, in 1908, Britain banned white phosphorus — because of these girls.
This was not medieval times. This was 1903 in London, the richest empire on earth.

They were just teenage girls working in a factory… but their courage forced an entire nation to change.

Možda ste čuli kako Dave Brubeck svira "Golden Brown" i rekli sebi to je pesma Steanglersa, nema dileme da je opet neko izmešao nemoguće i pomoću veštačke inteligencije dobio neobičan rezultat nastao mešanjem Take five i Golden Brown.
Onda se seti neko:
Golden Brown je 5/4 groove
Naravno da ovaj video nije produkt AI.
Saksofonista Laurence Mason je 2020. godine kreirao viralni muzički omaž, tih dana preminulom, klavijaturisti grupe The Stranglers.
Lorens je prvo semplovao bubnjeve iz lajv verzije TakeFive.
5/4 kod „Take Five”, a kod „Golden Brown” tri takta od 3/4 i jedan od 4/4 su izmešani dobro, pa je prvo snimio piano deonice, koje se savršeno uklapa sa deonicama koje je snimio lajv na alt saksofonu...
Ovaj re-work je postao viralan, na YouTube (par miliona pregleda), DJ Paul Murphy ga je puštao, pa je na kraju pema dobila izdanje za Jazz Room Records.

🗣️ George Best's story about Ferenc Puskás in Australia:

“I was with (Bobby) Charlton, (Denis) Law, and Puskás, we were coaching in a football academy in Australia. The youngsters we were coaching did not respect him including making fun of his weight and age.

We decided to let the guys challenge a coach to hit the crossbar 10 times in a row, obviously, they picked the old fat one.

Law asked the kids how many they thought the old fat coach would get out of ten. Most said less than five. Best said ten.

The old fat coach stepped up and hit nine in a row. For the tenth shot, he scooped the ball in the air, bounced it off both shoulders and his head, then flicked it over with his heel and cannoned the ball off the crossbar on the volley.

They all stood in silence then one kid asked who he was, I replied, "To you, his name is Mr. Puskás".”

Koliko nam se selektivna istorija nekada davno u školi servirala, da su određene činjenice bile verovatno namenski odstranjene. Zamisli taj momenat na časovima grčke istorije na primer, da nam je rečeno ovako nešto:
Aristotel je bio student Platona, Platon je bio student Sokrata, a Sokrat je bio student Aspasije, najuticajnijeg intelektualaca tadašnje Atine. Da li bi već tada počeli da drugačije razmišljamo o socijalnoj strukturi sveta koji nas okružuje.. Možda je najveća posledica te neke 'selektivne istorije' ne u tome što nismo naučili prave vrednosti, već u onome što smo počeli da smatramo gotovo prirodnim ili normalnim. Ako decu vekovima učimo da istoriju stalno pokreću mačevi, carevi i generali, ne treba da čudi što odrastaju verujući da se svaka velika promena rađa samo iz sukoba. A možda bi bilo dovoljno da smo samo češće učili i o onima koji su menjali svet rečima, mislima i uticajem, bez obzira na to da li su bili muškarci ili žene..ne kaže narod uzalud:
Lepa reč i gvozdena vrata otvara. ✨

Kada pičamo o Termopilama, svi pominju 300 Spartanaca, niko ne pominje 500-900 helota (spartanskih robova), koji su poginuli uz svoje gospodare, a naročito 700 Tespijaca, koji su svi poginuli. To je, suštinski, bila veća žrtva nego Leonidinih 300. Tespija, polis u Beotiji 🔽
