Mexico Part Uno & Dos
Once long ago I was fortunate enough to travel to Mexico. Driving to Lapaz In Baja California I abandoned my car as I found a ship having a large letter S On top. The ship was constructed of wood where I found a wall covered with animal masks also made of wood. My friend from Isla Cedros, Gave me a perfume bottle shaped like a cat that I poured down my dress for good luck. The next day I sailed on the ship Across the Mexican channel for 17 hours. There were seats And movies shown on board at night while everyone slept on the floor. The cat perfume must have brought me good luck since when I got to Mazatlan I found a Circus not too far from the hotel I chose. There were elephants and horses and my favorite was the tigers. Watching the act I sat in the front Row while one of the Tigers performing on his stool backed up against the cage and sprayed me in the face. After the show I wandered backstage and I wanted to meet the tiger trainer. His name was Ramano Miller who seemed to walk on air , fearless in the circus ring. He introduced me to the tiger Gordo who was the biggest. I then asked him if I can travel With them and they said yes. Mexico was surreal to me like being in A Salvador Dali painting. I rode the circus bus that said Circo Artists through the dark black hills underneath a full yellow moon. By dawn we were in the city of Culican where we parked next to a funeral home. I got out and discovered that the only convenient place to wash was in the funeral parlor, since there was only a circus tent. There were all kinds of folks hanging around and eating chicken as if patiently waiting for someone to pass away. I don’t think they minded at all when I washed my hair in the funeral parlor sink. The tent took about five hours to set up since it was so huge with many hired hands driving in stakes so I decided to take a walk around town.

Climate Finance in 2022 risk and opportunities
As predicted by some experts, Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) investment will become the “new-bottom line”. The ESG and broader climate finance is propelled by a combination of recent catalyzers, namely, climate regulation becoming more forceful; climate crisis and its economic impact skyrocketing and overall coordination among ESG stakeholders improving. The Green Deal in Europe and the Build Bank Better bill in the US, represent the two biggest global catalyzers for the 2022 ESG investment momentum. Furthermore, the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the US and EU Central Banks taking climate risk more seriously, will position ESG investment as the greatest value generation opportunity in 2022.

Travertine Pool in Hengduan Mountain-- A masterpiece of hydrosphere material cycle
Jiuzhaigou-Shuzheng Qunhai Cahuabian stone dam color pool is one of the main forms of travertine deposition. When the local surface water flows on a gentle slope, it is blocked by dead branches and leaves, and the flow velocity changes abruptly, which leads to the poor deposition rate of calcium carbonate and the formation of calcium flake stone dam color pool landscape. Cahuabian stone dam color ponds often appear in groups, with layers and beautiful lines, which is a fantastic scene of water color.

With an area of over 9.4 million square kilometers, how did such a huge desert come to be?
Truth be told, albeit the degree of the Incomparable Sahara Desert arrives at 9.4 million square kilometers, it doesn't intend that inside the area of 9.4 million square kilometers are unending sand hills, assuming this is the case, it would be excessively terrible. Truth be told the sand rise inclusion of the Incomparable Sahara Desert isn't especially high, likely just around 15%.

Global Warming
An Earth-wide temperature boost is a peculiarity connected with nature and is brought about by elements like emotional populace development, barometrical contamination, obliteration of land, harmful material contamination, and water contamination. Populace blast is one of the fundamental elements causing a worldwide temperature alteration. At the point when individuals consume non-renewable energy sources, like oil and coal, or cut down woods and consume them, a lot of carbon dioxide is created, which prompts an expansion in the temperature of the earth, for example the nursery impact. At the point when the nursery impact continues to collect, it prompts an irregularity between the energy consumed and produced by the world's air framework, and the energy continues to gather in the world's air framework, which prompts a climb in temperature and causes the peculiarity of an unnatural weather change.

Long-arm Muddy Yuanlong-- "Chimera", a bird dragon with bat wings
The first person to break this perception was Yi qi, which was published by Professor Xu Xing in 2015. Many parts of the body of the pterosaur are covered with feathers, which is similar to many other feathered dinosaurs. However, the forelimb area of this dinosaur still retains the imprint of the pterygium and has a rod-like long bone. Such long bones have no corresponding homologous structure in other dinosaurs and birds. On the contrary, similar structures can be seen in today's gliders such as hamsters. The main function of this long bone is to support the skin membrane, thus expanding the area of contact with air to increase buoyancy. As a result, the pterosaur was restored to have membranous wings and be able to glide like a pterosaur. Since only one specimen of the pterosaur has been found so far, although it caused a great sensation when it was published, scientists are very controversial about the structure of the rod-shaped long bone and pterygoid membrane.

Biden says it will weaken Russia's space program, and Russia responds to freezing cooperation space stations in the United States and Europe.
Cooperation between the United States and Russia is crucial to the construction and operation of the International Space Station. After the Columbia space shuttle disintegrated on its return to Earth in 2003, Russia stepped in to launch astronauts for the United States to the International Space Station. After the decommissioning of the space shuttle in 2011, the United States relied on Russian spacecraft to transport astronauts to and from the International Space Station. It was not until 2020 that the SpaceX manned dragon spacecraft allowed American astronauts to re-enter orbit from the United States mainland. In response to the space cooperation between the United States and Russia, NASA also responded that the new export restrictions will not affect its cooperation with Russia on the operation of the International Space Station.
