PAST FORWARD
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Yesterday, as we threw out the prisoners out of our ship, we could not hear a sound. But their terrified faces are like screaming cries that still echo in my head. As a Vega of this ship, my power held no value to prevent this brutality - all in the name of keeping the majority alive. What an irony it is that the more we try to save humanity from going extinct, it feels like we are losing humanity even more.

So Many Raindrops
With all the flash floods happening throughout the world, one would think we’d had enough of the wet weather. Yet, unfortunately, here in Florida, although it is our rainy season, we’re just not getting out share of rain. I know we’re not the only state that is suffering from the hot sun and droughts. There are places much worse than Florida since their droughts are causing massive fires. Where I live in Florida, we have few woody areas and certainly no forests that might easily catch fire.

What are the unsolved mysteries of Kunlun Mountains?
The legends of Kunlun Mountains in mythology are mostly recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and Huainan Zi, two legends of the pre-Qin period. Legend has it that the mountain lives in the "West queen mother", together with the East prince is in charge of the men and women of the world Xixian Deng lead, all the flesh of the people want to become immortal, must go to the myth of the Kunlun Mountains. In ancient China, the mountain range, also known as the "dragon vein", contains rich aura of heaven and earth, and the area around the dragon vein is filled with outstanding people and spiritual places. Kunlun Mountains are considered to be the ancestor of the dragon vein, the main body of the Kunlun Mountains is the body of the dragon, the tail folded to the Tianshan Mountains, and the dragon head from west to east, the dragon head is located in the south of the Guanzhong Basin in the Qinling Mountains, the kiss of the dragon extends east to the 800 Li Funiu Mountain at the junction of the second and third steps in China. This dragon, winding from the northwest to the east, straight to the central Plains! Are all closely related to the famous Kunlun Mountain. According to the Legend of Fealty of Gods, Yuxu Palace, one of the three Qing Dynasties and the Taoist temple of Yuanshi Tianzun, the master of the Chan religion and Jiang Ziya's teacher, is also located in Kunlun Mountain. Every sacred mountain has its mysterious place. It is said that there is a hell gate on Kunlun Mountain. As long as people or animals set foot in this area, there is no room for survival. In that mysterious canyon, flowers bloom, green grass, green sky, wild boundless, wind grass low see cattle and sheep ". Because no herdsman would dare to graze here. Herders would rather let their cattle and sheep starve to death in the Gobi desert than set foot in this mysterious place. The valley is said to be surrounded by the bones of wolves and bears, hunters' guns and plane wrecks, all of which silently emit an eerie smell of death. Of course, from a contemporary perspective, the Kunlun Mountains may not necessarily be the "ancestor of the Dragon Vein", but they can be regarded as the total source of China's mountains. From the whole terrain of China, the Qilian Mountains, Hengduan Mountains, Qinling Mountains and even Taihang Mountains can be regarded as the remainder of the Kunlun Mountains. If mountains are regarded as rivers, Kunlun Mountains are the source of almost all mountains.Kunlun Mountain has the ancient Kunlun Mountain and the Kunlun mountain today.

Today, the Kunlun Mountains start from the Pamir Plateau in the west, with a total length of about 2,500 kilometers, an average altitude of 5,500-6,000 meters and a width of 130-200 kilometers. It is narrow in the west and wide in the east, with a total area of more than 500,000 square kilometers. It spans Qinghai, Sichuan, Xinjiang and Tibet provinces in China, and has many strange legends, but compared with the ancient Kun, it is a child's child.

We're Having A Heatwave!
As the Earth’s climate warms up, heatwaves have become more frequent and intense over the last twenty years. The extremely high temperatures associated with heatwaves claim 1,300 people a year. High humidity often accompanies them, making this weather phenomenon harder on the body. Though there is no exact science yet on how to predict a heatwave approaching, for now, we define them as a period of unusually high (over 90 degrees F.) temperatures that last for over two days. Many have lasted for weeks, and sometimes even months. To determine if a heatwave is happening, the National Weather Service uses the Heat Index Values. This is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity combines with the air temperature. Heatwaves can cause many other natural hazards, like droughts and crop failures. Here are some helpful tips for the next time your town becomes an oven.
