Chinese Paraglider Miraculously Survives

A Chinese paraglider, Peng Yujiang, miraculously survived when the wind lifted him to 8,000 meters - almost to the height of Everest. A helmet camera recorded his equipment and himself slowly being covered with ice. For about an hour, he flew with low oxygen and at -35 degrees, trying not to lose consciousness and to communicate via radio. Since the flight was not coordinated with regulators, he was banned from paragliding for six months.

Light-Controlled Cyber-Cockroaches Developed by Japanese

Japanese researchers have developed 'cyber-cockroaches' controlled by light. The reason is that these bugs hate ultraviolet light: if you shine it into their left eye, they turn right, and vice versa. Utilizing this, scientists have created tiny backpacks with LEDs and can now direct them where needed. Unlike control via electric shocks, this method is less harmful to the insects and can be used for finding survivors under debris and more.

700 Indians Pretended to Be AI 'Natasha' for 8 Years

700 Indians pretended to be the neural network 'Natasha' for 8 years and earned half a billion dollars. The Indian startup BuilderAI offered clients the ability to build any application with a constructor, select a template, and specify the needed functions, after which Natasha would produce the ready product. In reality, the request came to an office where hundreds of Indians wrote the code manually. However, there were some AI functions indeed: the applications were buggy, the code was unreadable, and functions didn't work. Over 8 years of deception, they managed to attract $445 million in investments from major IT giants, including Microsoft. Now the startup has been declared bankrupt.

Horoscope for May 31

♈️ Aries: Try to change your attitude towards the people who irritate you. Avoid sharp and categorical reactions to their words and actions in favor of calm friendliness. You will be surprised at how quickly they improve. ♉️ Taurus: There is no point in lecturing the people around you, proving the correctness of your point of view on current events. You will not convince people of your correctness anyway, but you might well spoil your relationship with them. ♊️ Gemini: After dedicating the first half of the day to housework, remember in the afternoon that the holiday is meant for relaxation. It does not necessarily have to be passive; the main thing is to switch from one type of activity to another.

Horoscope for May 31

♋️ Cancer: Feeling dissatisfied with your relationship with a close person, try not to withdraw into yourself. Have an open conversation with them, figuring out the reasons for the tension that has arisen — this should help. ♌️ Leo: A day on which, strangely enough, it is not recommended to help anyone. This is precisely the case when good intentions will not lead to a good result but will instead pave the 'road to hell.' ♍️ Virgo: Since you will be able to concentrate on work today and fulfill or even exceed all your plans, the day can at least partially be devoted to work. After completing it, move on to equally important domestic tasks.

Horoscope for May 31

♎️ Libra: People around you will eagerly offer advice on every aspect of life. But no matter how sensible they may be, remember that the responsibility for the decision will still lie with you, so the final word is yours. ♏️ Scorpio: Don't hesitate to show your loved ones how much they mean to you. Remember, there can never be too much love, so don't be stingy with affection, tenderness, and attention. A day off is perfect for demonstrating these feelings. ♐️ Sagittarius: A useful piece of advice, which will help resolve a long-standing, complex situation, may come unexpectedly from a slightly known person on this day. The main thing is to listen carefully to their words.

At the beginning of next week, this will be duly appreciated by your immediate supervisor, acknowledging you both morally and materially. ♒️ Aquarius: Deciding to celebrate an important event for you by setting a table for friends and loved ones, proceed with great care and caution in choosing the products. The risk of buying something stale in haste is too high. ♓️ Pisces: Any acquaintance that may occur at this time will not be accidental.

Horoscope for May 30th

♈️ Aries: The main thing you need to do on this day, and Friday can assist you, is to communicate with friends and family whom you haven't given enough attention to for a while: you might still have time to prevent a brewing resentment. ♉️ Taurus: The more work tasks you complete, the quicker your boss will load you with overtime. So don't rush - work slowly, which, by the way, can help improve the quality of your work. ♊️ Gemini: Before making an important decision, consult with someone you trust – friends or a loved one. Most likely, their life experience and benevolent attitude will help you find the right course of action.

Horoscope for May 30

♋️ Cancer: Do not risk your money, even if you think the sum you might lose due to unwise actions is insignificant. It could trigger a whole chain of losses, so caution is paramount. ♌️ Leo: There is no point in showing your professional superiority to your colleagues, even if you have every right to do so. Those around you are unlikely to appreciate your achievements and are more likely to feel offended or angry. ♍️ Virgo: The day is favorable for restoring old connections that have been lost recently. These people may soon help you achieve success in solving an important professional issue.

It's very easy to offend someone who might hold a grudge and later, at the most unexpected time, remind you of it. ♏️ Scorpio: Do not get into an argument with those who decide to criticize your actions or appearance. These people may just be waiting for you to lose your temper to feed off your energy. ♐️ Sagittarius: The information coming to you today should be taken into consideration, but nothing more. It is likely to be fake, so it's not worth viewing it as a direct guide to action.

Horoscope for May 30

♑️ Capricorn: It is undesirable to spend time and effort solving other people's problems. They are quite capable of handling them by themselves, but with their inherent practicality and calculation, they use others - in this case, you. ♒️ Aquarius: You need to abstract yourself from the aggression that surrounding people may trigger in you. It's hard to say if it will affect them, but it will come back to you as a serious, sometimes even destructive boomerang. ♓️ Pisces: Before you risk the relationship with a close person who you feel has wronged you in some way, think about whether you will regret the act later as an unwise deed.

Understand that none of us can be inspired every day

Understand, none of us can be inspired every day. We all get exhausted. We all get frustrated. We all get tired. The fact that you are worn out and tired of life doesn't mean you are standing still. Every person you have ever admired has felt defeated in the pursuit of their dreams at least once. But that didn't stop them from achieving their goals.

Emotional Rollercoaster

Emotional rollercoasters can negatively affect a person's psychoemotional state because they provoke anxiety and undermine confidence. Often, such a phenomenon becomes a conscious strategy on the part of the partner. You may understand that you have become a victim of such dynamics by noticing a sudden closeness followed by an equally sudden distance from the partner. Initially, the person pays excessive attention to the other. They are constantly in touch, fervently declare their love, and are always ready to meet, listen, or help. But as soon as they feel mutual interest, they disappear and distance themselves for no apparent reason. To avoid this, use the method of psychologist Martha Stout. After the first attempt to manipulate you, observe how the partner behaves next. If they try to create an emotional rollercoaster again, mentally give them a second warning and reduce your investment in the relationship: meet less frequently, communicate less actively, and do not offer personal resources. After the third time, leave.

The Independence and Elegance of the Modern Woman

The elegance of a woman can indicate how much she is loved by a man, how much he can afford to care for the one he loves, and what he is willing to do for this woman… Or how independent the woman is from circumstances, men, and stereotypes! This is the case when she chooses to be beautiful, no matter what! When she loves herself and pampers herself, does not try to change herself, but strives to improve, sets goals, and achieves them on her own! Such women evoke envy and admiration!

When the Rose-colored Glasses Come Off

One day, the rosy veil falls from your eyes, and you begin to see people not as you wish to see them, but as they truly are. All masks fall from faces, you hardly listen to their speeches because you can clearly hear how their hearts speak. It’s not always pleasant, I tell you. It's much more convenient to justify every unpleasant act of a person with their difficult past while continuing to consider this person as the most worthy of the worthy. It’s not always easy to understand how mistaken you were about someone, having been diligently drawing a shining halo above their head. Yet it’s always very sad – because you can no longer be enchanted by people, knowing WHAT lurks in their souls, deformed by time and life.

How to Stop Being Tired of Yourself

Very often, people get tired of themselves. Of their experiences, fears, speculations, and anxieties. Of their guilt and attempts to control everything. Of the inability to stop rushing ahead (modeling situations) and looking back (searching for analogies and clichés). Stop comparing, stop scaring yourself, do not build illusions.

Each couple spent nights under three different conditions: without sexual activity, masturbating before sleep, or having sex with a partner. Participants wore wireless headbands that recorded brain activity, movements, and breathing throughout the night. Sleep efficiency on nights after sex or masturbation was higher than when there was no sex. Participants who had sex went to bed later, but fell asleep faster and the total sleep duration was even longer.
