Appearance is crucial

This is probably the hardest truth to accept. If you have the reputation of being an office clown, you will not be taken seriously, no matter how hard you work. If your colleagues are under the impression that you always reject everything and go home at five o'clock sharp, new opportunities will stop being offered to you. Fake busyness looks just like a real one. That doesn't mean you have to care about what people think about you all the time. Just keep in mind that your appearance affects the way you are treated and your career. Try to remind yourself of your competence and be professional.

Canadian artist creates stained glass windows from cow placenta.

Artist Emily Mattson decided to use cow placentas to create art while working on her ranch in British Columbia. Preserved in a special brine, the placenta dries like parchment, retaining "dramatic colors," she says. Ranch neighbors were initially skeptical of Mattson's idea, but eventually began saving their animals' placentas and "bringing them in buckets." Thanks to them, Mattson's art now appears in many exhibitions. One of Mattson's works, Treasure Chest, is featured in a cannabis dispensary 20 minutes from her ranch. It simultaneously looks like a coffin and a luminous stained glass box. Viewers say that this work reminds them of the eternal movement of life and death.

In the United States, a toilet was invented to diagnose cholera by ear.

Engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have created a microphone sensor for a toilet that can distinguish between urination, defecation and diarrhea by sound to diagnose cholera. The device was presented at a meeting of the Acoustic Society of America. The sensor transmits the audio recording to the computer, and the algorithm converts the sound into a spectrogram. According to its features, neural networks classify the type of emptying and identify intestinal diseases. The device can be used in disaster areas, nursing homes and hospices. Cholera outbreaks claim 150,000 lives each year.

Eco stoves pollute the atmosphere 450 times more than gas heating.

Wood-burning eco-stoves (Ecodesign) are 450 times more harmful to the atmosphere than central gas heating. Up to 36,000 people a year die in England alone due to polluted air. The most environmentally friendly heating option is electric. Such results of the study were presented in his annual report by the chief physician of England, Professor Chris Whitty. According to Whitty, outdated wood-burning stoves and fireplaces emit 3,700 times more toxic substances into the environment than burning gas. At the same time, people often use them for aesthetics, and not for heating.
