The imaginary part of quantum could be described with using complex numbers

For almost a century, physicists have been intrigued by the fundamental question: why are complex numbers so important in quantum mechanics, that is, numbers containing a component with the imaginary number "#"? 
Here comes the news. Well known international research teams has proven that the imaginary part of quantum mechanics can be observed in action in the real world.
Usually, it was assumed that they are only a mathematical trick to facilitate the description of phenomena, and only results expressed in real numbers have a physical meaning. However, a Polish-Chinese-Canadian team of researchers has proved that the imaginary part of quantum mechanics can be observed in action in the real world. Read more about SciTechDaily.

Навальный* - Скоро Госдума примет закон о запрете изображений Навального?

В самом центре Санкт-Петербурга в Пушкарском саду появилось граффити с Алексеем Навальным с подписью «Герой нового времени». Кто является автором граффити неизвестно
Как давно мы не слышали: "Привет, это Навальный!"
а тут такое! Просто вау.
Он исчез через день.
В Питере нарисовали граффити с Навальным.
Немедленно сначала полиция, а потом и коммунальщики ринулись на борьбу с этой страшной угрозой великой державе.

Mutual aid - the chief points were clearly stated

Consequently, when my attention was drawn, later on, to the relations between Darwinism and Sociology, I could agree with none of the works and pamphlets that had been written upon this important subject, so said Pëtr Kropotkin in his work Mutual Aid - A Factor of Evolution, 1902.
Even in those few spots where animal life teemed in abundance, I failed to find — although I was eagerly looking for it — that bitter struggle for the means of existence, among animals belonging to the same species, which was considered by most Darwinists (though not always by Darwin himself) as the dominant characteristic of struggle for life, and the main factor of evolution. ...
And:
— in all these scenes of animal life which passed before my eyes, I saw Mutual Aid and Mutual Support carried on to an extent which made me suspect in it a feature of the greatest importance for the maintenance of life, the preservation of each species, and its further evolution.
According to Propotkin after we are mentioning that in the evolution of mankind mutual aid played a still more prominent part, as Professor Karl Kessler concluded as follows:
I obviously do not deny the struggle for existence, but I maintain that the progressive development of the animal kingdom, and especially of mankind, is favoured much more by mutual support than by mutual struggle.... All organic beings have two essential needs: that of nutrition, and that of propagating the species. The former brings them to a struggle and to mutual extermination, while the needs of maintaining the species bring them to approach one another and to support one another. But I am inclined to think that in the evolution of the organic world — in the progressive modification of organic beings — mutual support among individuals plays a much more important part than their mutual struggle.
So. We have seen that.

You got it - Sound of Metal fittingly wins Best Sound Oscar

 Olivia Cooke.
We know very well this film. Now Sound of Metal won Best Sound at the 93rd Academy Awards on Sunday (beating out competition from Greyhound, Mank, News of the World, and Soul in order to do so). This year, the ceremony combined what was previously two awards Best Sound Mixing and Best Sound Editing into one overall award.
The award was presented by the star of Sound of Metal himself, Riz Ahmed, who played punk-metal drummer Ruben Stone struggling with the loss of his hearing. The award was accepted by Nicolas Becker live from Paris, speaking on behalf of the film's five-person sound design team. 
Becker and director Darius Marder made great efforts to portray Ruben's experience authentically. They consulted with people who had been born with hearing but lost it over time, similar to Ruben's experience, and spoke to audiologists to understand what kind of sounds Ruben would hear after getting a cochlear implant. 
Becker built a small microphone to fit in Ahmed's mouth and capture the sound of his breathing. 
Iinstead of music, this film has more some kinf of reverberations and distortions.
The idea was to make it really, really naturalistic,
Nicolas Becker told the Washington Post. "When the audience is listening and looking at the film, it's not illustrative. It's created a direct connection with their memories, you know?"
Best Sound wasn't Sound of Metal's only win Sunday night. Editor Mikkel E. G. Nielsen also picked up the Best Film Editing award for his work on the film.
Sound of Metal is streaming on Amazon Prime.

this an altered consciousness

Alvin Toffler (October 4, 1928 – June 27, 2016)
Here come the vision:
A new civilization is emerging in our lives, and blind men everywhere are trying to suppress it,
said Alvin Toffler, from The Third Wave (1980).
This new civilization, according to Tofler 
brings with it new family styles; changed ways of working, loving, and living; a new economy; new political conflicts; and beyond all this an altered consciousness as well -> The dawn of this new civilization is the single most explosive fact of our lifetimes.
May be you ask, what consciousness?

The dawn of this new civilization is the single most explosive fact of our lifetimes.
Pieces of this new civilization exist today. Millions are already attuning their lives to the rhythms of tomorrow. Others, terrified of the future, are engaged in a desperate, futile flight into the past and are trying to restore the dying world that gave them birth.
And then they will died in their bitter mind.

Under the danger

Sure, Alexei’s health has sharply deteriorated, and he is in a rather critical condition. Doctors are saying that judging by his test results, he should be admitted into intensive care.

According to Associated Press Russian police arrested nearly 1,700 people Wednesday during a day of demonstrations throughout Russia calling for freedom for imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny -> whose health reportedly is in severe decline after three weeks of hunger striking, according to a group that monitors political detentions.
Navalny’s team called for the unsanctioned demonstrations after weekend reports that his health is deteriorating and his life was in danger.
The largest of the protests happened in the City of Moscow, where thousands marched through the center area. Some of the people arrested were seized before the protests even began, including to top Navalny associates in Moscow.
Navalny’s organization called for the Moscow protesters to assemble on Manezh Square, just outside the Kremlin walls, but police blocked it off. Instead, a large crowd gathered at the nearby Russian State Library and another lined Tverskaya Street, a main avenue that leads to the square. Both groups then moved through the streets.

In St. Petersburg, police blocked off Palace Square, the vast space outside the Hermitage museum and protesters instead crowded along nearby Nevsky Prospekt.
Some said that there will be full coverage in Russia
Turnout estimates varied widely: Moscow police said 6,000 people demonstrated in the capital, while an observer told Navalny’s YouTube channel that the crowd was about 60,000.

This our oldest observatorium

We know GöbekliTepe. It has been suggested that the ancient structure, which still contains huge monuments that keep many secrets, was built to worship Sirius, the brightest star in the Great Canine Constellation.
GöbekliTepe, brought Sirius under the horizon in the years around 15000 BC. After reaching the minimum, Sirius started to come closer to the horizon and it became visible again, very low and close to due. south, towards 9300 BC.
Lot of genuine archaeological mysteries surround humanity's oldest known temple. It seems that it was the world's first astronomical observatory. 
Just a handful of the giant circular and oval rooms at Gobekli Tepe have been excavated so far, but surveys show many more are still buried underground at the site. Each of these round rooms is defined by a ring of hulking T-shaped pillars.
Earth's Northern Hemisphere was covered in enormous Ice Age glaciers when a group of hunter-gatherers in southern Turkey began constructing the world’s first known temple. The site, called Gobekli Tepe, was built roughly 12,000 - 15,000 years ago, with some parts appearing to be even older. However, because the ancient temple is so vast and complex, archaeologists have been busy excavating it since its discovery in 1994. Although Pillar 43 remains a mystery. One believes that one thing is clear about the pillars in general: They were built in a T-shape as a kind of stylized human form, like a person without a head. 
But despite all those years of research, they're still working to unravel the site’s biggest mysteries: 
Who built it, and why? 
At 12,000 years old, Gobekli Tepe predated humanity’s oldest known civilizations. Its megalithic temples were cut from rock millennia before the 4,500-year-old pyramids in Egypt, 5,000-year-old Stonehenge in England, or 7,000-year-old Nabta Playa, the oldest known astronomical site. It even seems construction on some parts of Gobekli Tepe might have began as far back as 14,000 or 15,000 years ago.

Dolphins have been proven to have one kind of language system

According to fresh studies  dolphins have a highly developed language.
A study by researchers at St. Petersburg Polytechnic University used equipment to measure the acoustic signals of bottlenose dolphins in the Black Sea. The study registered dolphin pulses and sets of pulses as words and sentences and concluded that because dolphin language 
exhibits all the design features present in the human spoken language, this indicates a high level of intelligence and consciousness in dolphins, and their language can be ostensibly considered a highly developed spoken language, akin to the human language.
A Swedish language startup called Gavagai AB hopes to use AI to decode the language of dolphins. Working with researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the company is collecting data from recordings of dolphins and wants to crack their language by 2022, with the goal of eventually being able to reverse engineer a way for humans to translate their own language into dolphin speak. 
This would effectively facilitate interspecies communication for the very first time.

Åh, vad väntar vi på

Förväntat ögonblick
Om att fånga goda ögonblick, talar om.
I varje ögonblick är vi fortfarande vid liv - i denna värld.
Social kompetens och förmågan att inhämta ny kunskap går hand i hand. Att trivas och bli trygg i sig själv är grundpelarna i en bra skola. 
Kanske du har ett minnesvärt ögonblick i ditt arbete.

Men de barn som mest behöver kärlek, "frågar efter den på det minst kärleksfulla sätten”, sa Carolyn Webster-Stratton i Utveckla barns emotionella och sociala kompetens.
Mer: De barn som kanske har svag impulskontroll, koncentrationssvårigheter och innerst inne en dålig självkänsla, utmanar oss vuxna mest.
Den fakturerbara händelsen är det ögonblick, jaa.

Second Goetheanum - Swiss national monument

The First wooden Goetheanum I was burned by the Nazis, and Rudolph Steiner decided that the materials of the Second Goetheanum should be fireproof reinforced concrete -structure.
This choice of reinforced concrete should not be the main criterion for the characterization of Steiners architectural work. 
Steiners architecture is in the first place organic architecture. Steiner worked with sculptors and architects, including Swiss architect Paul Bay who was involved in carving the pillars of the first Goetheanum and designed a number of the buildings around the Goetheanum. In the course of 1923, Steiner designed a building to replace the original. 
This building, now known as the Second Goetheanum, was built wholly of cast concrete. Begun in 1924, the building was not completed until 1928, after the architect's death. It represents a pioneering use of visible concrete in architecture and has been granted protected status as a Swiss national monument. B.t.w, one art critic Michael Brennan has called the building a "true masterpiece of 20th-century expressionist architecture". Form reflects the living organism, form follows vital processes and functions and form respects the spirituality as the origin of life. 
Rudolph Steiner considered the Goetheanum as a temple, the house of the spirit. Curvilinearity in the characteristic of organic forms, rectilinearity - all those forms were meant to force spirituality to emerge in people who would not otherwise open up.
