21.02.2021 Oil spills

Which ship spilled the oil in the Mediterranean is a mystery that the authorities are trying to figure out. The drenched with tar shoreline will take months or even years to clean. That is why thousands of volunteers are grouping up on the Israel’s beaches to help out with this process. Even the military is trying to get everything back to the way it was. Because of the icy weather it was extremely hard to notice it at sea so authorities didn’t have a way to deal with it before it reached the shores. The authorities are using satellite images and modeling of wave movement to find the suspect.

In my opinion the person responsible for this mess should be legally punished for what he did. Even though it could have been an accident, this has scared the sea. It has killed a lot of sea animals. It will also impact Israel’s economy because the Mediterranean Sea is a popular

Mythology - a source of life lessons

-
Mythology (in this case Greek), being a collection of stories and tales, teaches people life lessons. Even the modern society can relate to stories written thousands of years ago. In this blog I will mention just a few out of a big pool. 1.    A worthy thing to learn is to listen to elders and people with experience in life. This is shown in the story of Daedalus (father) and Icarus (son). This myth passes the idea that not listening to elders might result in harm, even death (in this case flying too close to the sun and drowning). 2.    Another lesson to learn is that everyone has a weakness. This is show in the story of Achilles. Even the unstoppable hero like warrior is vulnerable and can perish. His weakness was his ankles where he was later shot which resulted in his death. 3.    The myth of Jocasta and Oedipus shows us how we can’t escape our fate. There was a prophecy saying that Oedipus would kill his father and marry his mother and Jocasta di...

Pigs fixing problems

-
Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport is struggling with a geese/bird problem. These flocks of birds interfere with the plane routes and the safety of takeoffs and landings. When hit they can easily distract the pilot during landing or takeoff and can also be sucked into the engines. This can cause malfunctions which are expensive to fix or even, this might resolve in the plane crashing. Laser beams and special noises are used to scare (deter) the birds but that is not enough. That is when they decided to use pigs, which consume the beats that the geese are looking for in the area. In my opinion this is a very interesting initiative. It benefits both sides, us humans and the pigs that have a place to stay and food to eat. I think we should come up with ideas like this more often - fixing two problems at once. This shows that sometimes it is easy to fix complex issues. Also, we don’t need some new fancy machinery and sometimes all that is needed is a drift (group) of pigs. https://www.thegua...

Vikings - power of gods

Based on Norse mythology, dying in battle was the most honorable way to advance into the afterlife. The people of Scandinavia called it Valhalla, a hall of slain warriors drinking and feasting by the side of Odin himself and brawling each other for eternity (off course until Ragnarök, when they would march out the palace to fight under the command of Odin). They also believed that when they fought, gods were on their side and helped them in battle. For example, Modi helped warriors get their mind straight before battle. When praying to Modi, it was believed that a person could enter a trance state in which they were able to conquer and defeat enemies with ease. Also, they would often pray to Freya, a goddess that took care of families when a warrior was away fighting. Vikings were persuaded into thinking that they had the power of gods on their side. This allowed them to charge into battle without any hesitations nor fear (their fate was already set). Even if they were to die, Valhal...
