https://www.nationalgeographic.com/…/see-sustainable-futu…/…  // By 2050 the world’s population is expected to reach 9.8 billion. Nearly 70 percent of this booming population—6.7 billion people— is projected to live in urban areas. Now, Greater Tokyo’s more than 37 million residents make it the world’s most populous metropolitan area.

Memorial Day for all of us

On the night of July 18th, 1947 at National Broadcasting Station, legendary writer Mg Htin, Director U Khin Zaw and Minister for Information Dee Doke U Ba Cho were chit chatting about Bogyoke often working alone in his office with no protection, 200 'bren'guns missing from military depot, etc. Then, Dee Doke U Ba Cho suddenly said "we plan to tighten up security at Secretariat starting tomorrow". At 11am next day the July 19th, 1947 when Sayargyi Mg Htin woke up and heard the tragic news, Minister Dee Doke U Ba Cho was among the dead ~ Myanmar Lliterature Icon & Professor Dr Khin Aye

Incirlik Air Base

What if Turkey (already) bought S400 from Russia and ally with Russia? Incirlik Air Base, Turkey (just a mock-up) The United States Air Force and the Turkish Air Force are the primary users of the air base, although it is at times also used by the Royal Air Force and the Royal Saudi Air Force. Also, the base is the home of the 74th Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment (Patriot unit) of the Spanish Army Incirlik Air Base has a U.S. Air Force complement of about five thousand airmen, with several hundred airmen from the Royal Air Force and Turkish Air Force also present, as of late 2002. Incirlik Air Base has one 3,048 m (10,000 ft = approx 2 miles)-long runway, located among about 57 hardened aircraft shelters (about same size in comparism with Saudi's King Sultan AB). Tactical nuclear weapons are stored at the base. Among them are "up to" 50 B61 nuclear bombs

Yangon Earthquake

In my lifetime, I had 6.7 (see REF below). I felt way more than 4.1 for recent Yangon Earquake (where its epic center was in Taik Kyi Tsp) a couple of days ago on November 12, 2019 Tuesday. The TV news said that it was a magnitude of 4.1 shake I believe the estimate is low (if it is for main shock)  REF ၁၉၉၄၊ ၁၇ ဇန်နဝါရီ 1994 Northridge earthquake The 1994 Northridge earthquake was a magnitude of 6.7 (Mw), blind thrust earthquake that occurred on January 17, 1994, at 4:30:55 a.m. PST in the San Fernando Valley region of the County of Los Angeles. Its epicenter was in Reseda, a neighborhood in the north-central area of the San Fernando Valley.

Credit: NASA/Naval Research Laboratory/Parker Solar Probe The released encounter data encompasses measurements made during the first two solar encounters, spanning the time between Oct. 31 and Nov. 12, 2018, and March 30 and April 19, 2019, when the spacecraft was within 0.25 AU of the Sun, as well as data collected at farther distances. One AU, or astronomical unit, is about 93 million miles, the average distance between the Sun and Earth. The mission will circle the Sun 25 times before it is expiring in 2025. Now it is on 3rd roll
