VIVA LA RESISTANCE
When on vacation - have a rest
Vacation is sacred. It doesn't matter who you are - a manager, a top manager or an entrepreneur — it's unreasonable to accumulate weeks of rest: you only multiply fatigue which leads to burnout. Therefore, the main tasks of a vacation are to give the brain a rest, reduce stress, experience new emotions and acquaintances, recharge energy and strengthen family relationships.

US scientists have developed a living smart watch.
In order for them to work, they will have to be fed regularly. Inside is the slime mold Physarum polycephalum, which conducts electricity perfectly, but is too small to complete the circuit - in order for the device to perform its functions, the slime mold will have to be regularly fed and watered. In this way, scientists want to instill sympathy for smart watches so that users do not throw them away when they get bored with them.

Scientists have made a major breakthrough in thermonuclear energy.
For the first time, they were able to get more energy than was spent on starting the reaction. As part of the experiment, the world's most powerful laser machine was sent to a tiny capsule with deuterium-tritium fuel, heating it in a split second to a temperature several times higher than the temperature of the center of the Sun. As a result, thermonuclear fusion began in the superheated plasma, similar to what happens inside stars. 2.05 MJ was spent on launching the lasers, and 3.15 MJ of energy was received - this is considered an excellent result. In the future, the technology may become a "green" alternative to nuclear energy and hydrocarbon fuels. But this will not happen soon: under the forecasts of scientists, thermonuclear installations will be able to sustainably generate electricity in sufficient volumes only after several decades.

Three signs of the zodiac for whom appearance is not important, but what is important? Cancer.
This is not to say that Cancers are not attracted to external beauty, but this sign sets priorities differently. This constellation represents the family, the hearth. Cancers are wise, they understand that for a successful union, a disposable appearance will not be enough. Cancerians always try to look into the inner world. Finding there a game of intrigue, lies or frivolity, they will never trust such a frivolous person. Cancer will prefer to spend the rest of his life with a simple, modest partner than with a beautiful pacifier. They are guided by the same principles when choosing friends and other environment. These representatives of the celestial constellations are well aware that, first of all, a person must be beautiful in soul.
