🐋 Cool news from our Sakhalin related to the World Whale and Dolphin Dаy - there the developer of unmanned boats was able to establish contact with killer whales using a marine drone that will help lead killer whales away from fishing vessels.
The programmer integrated a speaker with a recording of killer whale sounds into a surface drone and led a whole pod of whales in the Sea of Okhotsk. The tests took place as part of the educational intensive “Archipelago 2024”.

TOP-5 most beautiful waterfalls in Altai
1. Uchar, the largest of all waterfalls in Altai, 160 metres high. It is so loud that it is impossible to hear someone speaking directly into your ear!
2. Kurkure, located on the territory of the natural park "Ak Cholushpa" in a picturesque canyon.
3. Korbu, located on the coast of Lake Teletskoye. The stream falls on the rocks from a height of 12.5 m and plays with all the colours of the rainbow.
4. Kuiguk, flowing from Lake Kuiguk, the water in which is bright turquoise. It is located at an altitude of about 2000 m surrounded by mountains covered with eternal ice.
5. Ular waterfalls - Big and Small. The flow of water seems to be squeezed in a narrow crevice, and rushes out like a rainbow-tinted fan douche.

Anatoly Kashpirovsky and Allan Chumak: Soviet 'Healers'.
🔻In the late 80s, the whole country sat down in front of the TV to receive a “healing mindset” from Anatoly Kashpirovsky, finally get their “own alarm clock” to work and charge a jar of water from Allan Chumak.
🔻Anatoly Kashpirovsky (psychotherapist) and Allan Chumak (journalist) claimed to possess supernatural abilities to cure various ailments through a combination of hypnosis and "energy transfer."
🔻These sessions became a national phenomenon, with millions tuning in to witness their purported miracles.
🔻However, their practices were met with skepticism and controversy. Kashpirovsky's methods were criticized for lacking scientific basis, while Chumak's "energy" was seen as a pseudoscientific hoax.
🔻Both Kashpirovsky and Chumak faded into obscurity after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
📎 You can watch their sessions on the Internet by yourselves:
▶️ Kashpirovsky

Russian curse words, as a method of encrypting secret data.
🔻During World War II, German code breakers quickly cracked partisan ciphers. Therefore, orders to intentionally write with spelling mistakes came from headquarters to make life difficult for the enemy.
🔻Later, Soviet code clerks and signalers began using Russian swear words in their reports, which completely baffled German code breakers.
🔻To translate such a report, one needed to be fluent in Russian or a native speaker. Since such words were not found in any decent Russian-German dictionaries, upon intercepting such a report, the Germans would stare blankly and scratch their heads, trying to decipher the sophisticated Russian cipher.

“I once believed everything I saw on the news. But that was before I found out about Abrain!”
🔻An American made a mock advertisement about a fictitious medicine, thanks to which he “learned” to think for himself.
🔻The video went viral. He named the drug Abrain (a play on words: from the English 'brain').
🔻Among the “side effects” are: gaining responsibility, prudence, and awareness of the stupidity of socialism, notes Nick Peterson.
