Rezumat

Howard Hughes, un aviator și regizor de film, s-a născut la 24 decembrie 1905, la Houston, Texas. Și-a moștenit familia's-a ocupat cu succes în uneltele de petrol și a început să investească în filme. A produs mai multe filme, inclusiv hitul Iad's Îngeri.

Tinerețe

Howard Robard Hughes Jr., născut la 24 decembrie 1905, la Houston, este cunoscut în mare parte pentru că este unul dintre cei mai bogați bărbați și unul dintre cei mai renumiți reclusi, dar Hughes a avut multe realizări profesionale înainte de a se retrage din viața publică.. 

Film și zbor

Fiul unui producător de succes de instrumente de găurit, a moștenit afacerea familiei în 1923, la 18 ani. A folosit o parte din averea sa pentru a finanța filme, începând cu 1926. A produs mai multe filme, inclusiv în primul război mondial. Iad's Îngeri (1930), care a prezentat secvențe scumpe de lupte aeriene și o actriță pe atunci necunoscută pe nume Jean Harlow. Unele dintre alte filme semnificative ale sale au fost Scarface (1932) și Nelegiuitul (1941). În timpul zilelor sale la Hollywood, Hughes și-a dezvoltat o reputație de a fi un jucător, întâlnind astfel de actrițe precum Katharine Hepburn, Ava Gardner și Ginger Rogers.

Hughes a dezvoltat o pasiune pentru zbor și și-a fondat propria companie de aeronave la începutul anilor ’30. Pe lângă proiectarea și construirea avioanelor, și-a riscat propria viață de mai multe ori testând avioanele și stabilind recorduri mondiale de viteză a aerului la mijlocul până la sfârșitul anilor 1930. El este creditat cu numeroase inovații în domeniul aviației, cum ar fi primul echipament de aterizare retractabil, și este amintit și pentru H-4 Hercules, pe care presa l-a poreclit Grosii Spruce. Ani de zile, Hughes a muncit pe acest hidroavion masiv din lemn, care avea scopul de a transporta trupele și materialele peste Oceanul Atlantic în timpul celui de-al doilea război mondial. Completată în 1947, a fost zburată o singură dată și nu a intrat niciodată în producție, cu toate acestea, Hughes a menținut H-4 într-un hangar climatizat până la moartea sa în 1976. În prezent este găzduit în Evergreen Aviation Museum din McMinnville, Oregon.

Recluzia

După un teribil accident de avion din 1946, Hughes a început să se retragă din lume. A cumpărat o parte din RKO Pictures în 1948, dar nu a vizitat niciodată studioul. În anii 1960, el locuia la ultimul etaj al Desert Inn din Las Vegas, Nevada, și își conduce toate afacerile din suita sa de hotel. Puțini oameni l-au văzut vreodată, ceea ce a dus la multe speculații publice și zvonuri despre activitățile sale. S-a crezut că suferă de tulburare obsesiv-compulsivă și avea o problemă de droguri. Hughes a părăsit în cele din urmă Las Vegas și a început să trăiască în străinătate. În 1972 a fost anunțată o biografie autorizată pentru reclama renumită, dar s-a dovedit a fi o înșelătorie. Autorul, Clifford Irving, a fost ulterior închis pentru fraudă.

Moarte și moștenire

Hughes a murit la 5 aprilie 1976. După moartea sa, au apărut numeroase versiuni false ale voinței sale, ceea ce a dus la o luptă asupra averii sale. În 2004, Hughes' viața a revenit la lumina reflectoarelor cu lungmetrajul Aviatorul, care-și înfățișa zilele de început. Leonardo DiCaprio l-a jucat pe miliardar ca un tânăr plin de probleme. A fost nominalizat la un premiu Oscar pentru portretizarea lui Hughes.

National Park calls out ‘world changing’ impact of dropped Cheetos bag <a href=https://gl-kra5.cc>kraken onion</a> Plain water is the only thing visitors are allowed to consume inside the huge cavern at Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico. Cheetos are a no-go, and the recent park visitor who dropped a bag full of them created a “huge impact” on the cave’s ecosystem, the park said Friday in a Facebook post. “At the scale of human perspective, a spilled snack bag may seem trivial, but to the life of the cave it can be world changing,” the park said in its post about the garbage found off-trail in the Big Room. https://kra06.gl kraken3yvbvzmhytnrnuhsy772i6dfobofu652e27f5hx6y5cpj7rgyd.onion kraken4qzqnoi7ogpzpzwrxk7mw53n5i56loydwiyonu4owxsh4g67yd.onion kraken5af44k24fwzohe6fvqfgxfsee4lgydb3ayzkfhlzqhuwlo33ad.onion “The processed corn, softened by the humidity of the cave, formed the perfect environment to host microbial life and fungi. Cave crickets, mites, spiders and flies soon organize into a temporary food web, dispersing the nutrients to the surrounding cave and formations. Molds spread higher up the nearby surfaces, fruit, die and stink. And the cycle continues.” The park said rangers spent 20 minutes carefully removing molds and foreign debris from surfaces inside the cave, noting that while some members of the ecosystem that rose from the snacks were cave-dwellers “many of the microbial life and molds are not.” The post called that particular impact on the cave “completely avoidable,” contrasting it with the hard-to-prevent fine trails of lint left by each visitor. “Great or small we all leave an impact wherever we go. Let us all leave the world a better place than we found it,” the post urged park goers. The park’s website says that eating and drinking anything other than plain water attracts animals into the cavern. Carlsbad Caverns followed up its post about the Cheetos bag with a post about the “leave no trace” principle of disposing of waste properly. “Contrary to popular belief, the cave is NOT a big trash can,” the post said, yet rangers pick up waste left behind every day. “Sometimes this can be a gum wrapper or a tissue, other times it can unfortunately mean human waste, spit, or chewing tobacco.” Visitors are asked to make sure they don’t leave trash in the cavern and to use designated restrooms.

Remember when Lady Gaga ‘bled’ onstage during her shocking performance at the 2009 VMAs? <a href=https://ko.ru/articles/life-is-good-no-ne-dlya-vsekh>смотреть гей порно</a> Singing about the perils of fame, being dragged out from beneath a fallen chandelier then bleeding to death in front of a roomful of celebrities: Lady Gaga was not shy about making her debut at the MTV Video Music Awards. The year was 2009 — many will remember it as the year rapper Ye (formerly Kanye West) stage-crashed 19-year-old Taylor Swift and suggested her award for Best Female Video should have gone to Beyonce instead. But never one to be overshadowed, Lady Gaga, then 23, made some pop culture history of her own that night. Her rendition of “Paparazzi” — lamenting both unrequited love and the sinister effects of hounding tabloids — has gone down in the mists of Gaga legend; not least because a lack of high-quality footage means fans must resort to watching grainy screen-recorded versions circulated on social media. Over the limited number of pixels, Gaga can be seen at the start of the performance in an all-white ensemble: a bejeweled, asymmetric lace bodysuit and matching cape, thigh-high boots, a feathered Keko Hainswheeler headpiece and strings of glinting pearls. As she staggered back from her piano at the song’s crescendo, however, an audible gasp swept the room as thick blood suddenly appeared to be pouring from her abdomen. “I’m your biggest fan, I’ll follow you until you love me,” Gaga wailed desperately, her once-pristine outfit now daubed in scarlet. She ended the number suspended above the stage, ‘dead,’ as more blood dripped from her eyes. “(It) gives me chills every time I watch it,” Olivia Rodrigo told MTV in 2021. “I think Lady Gaga is the best performer of our generation.” The “Drivers License” singer appeared to take notes. At this year’s Grammy Awards, she began to ‘bleed’ from clenched fists while performing her hit “vampire,” spreading fake blood across her arms and neck as the song progressed.

Drought-hit Danube River reveals scuttled German World War II ships <a href=https://otzovik.com/review_14367384.html>порно групповое жесток</a> The wrecks of explosives-laden Nazi ships sunk in the Danube River during World War II have emerged near Serbia’s river port town of Prahovo, after a drought in July and August that saw the river’s water level drop. Four vessels dating from before 1950 have also come to light in Hungary’s Danube-Drava National Park near Mohacs, where the Danube’s water level stood at only 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) on Tuesday, the lingering effect of severe heat waves and persistent drought in July and August. The vessels revealed in Prahovo were among hundreds scuttled along the Danube by Nazi Germany’s Black Sea fleet in 1944 as they retreated from advancing Soviet forces, destroying the ships themselves. The wrecks can hamper river traffic during low water levels. Strewn across the riverbed, some of the ships still have turrets, command bridges, broken masts and twisted hulls, while others lie mostly submerged under sandbanks. Endre Sztellik, a guard at the Danube-Drava national park, said of one of the ships, “we still don’t know what this is exactly. What is visible and an unfortunate fact is that the wreck is diminishing as people are interested in it and parts of it are going missing.” The Danube stood at 1.17 meters (3.8 feet) in Budapest on Tuesday, which compares with an all-time record low of around 0.4 meters (1.3 feet) registered in October 2018. During floods, the Danube rises well above 6 meters (19.7 feet). “Eastern Europe is experiencing critical drought conditions that are affecting crops and vegetation,” the European climate service Copernicus said on its website in its latest drought report, published earlier this month.

Study shows how the pandemic may have affected teens’ brains <a href=https://kra5-gl.cc>kra8.gl</a> The pandemic’s effects on teenagers were profound — numerous studies have documented reports of issues with their mental health, social lives and more. Now, a new study suggests those phenomena caused some adolescents’ brains to age much faster than they normally would — 4.2 years faster in girls and 1.4 years faster in boys on average, according to the study published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. By being the first to contribute details on aging differences by sex, the study adds to the existing body of knowledge provided by two previous studies on the Covid-19 pandemic and accelerated brain aging among adolescents. https://gl-kra7.cc kra9.gl “The findings are an important wake-up call about the fragility of the teenage brain,” said senior study author Dr. Patricia K. Kuhl, the Bezos Family Foundation Endowed Chair in Early Childhood Learning and codirector of the Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle, via email. “Teens need our support now more than ever.” Significant socioemotional development occurs during adolescence, along with substantial changes to brain structure and function. The thickness of the cerebral cortex naturally peaks during childhood, steadily decreases throughout adolescence and continues to decrease through one’s lifespan, the authors wrote. The researchers originally intended to track ordinary adolescent brain development over time, starting with MRIs the authors conducted on participants’ brains in 2018. They planned to follow up with them for another scan in 2020. The pandemic delayed the second MRI by three to four years — when the 130 participants based in Washington state were between ages 12 and 20. The authors excluded adolescents who had been diagnosed with a developmental or psychiatric disorder or who were taking psychotropic medications.

Meet the artist transforming tennis balls into furniture <a href=https://blackspruta.com>сайт спрут</a> In the last two years, tennis has taken over our closets (court-appropriate garb can be found everywhere from Skims to Miu Miu), our screens (who could forget Zendaya’s turn as the tennis protoge-turned-elite-coach Tashi Duncan in “Challengers”) and now — our living rooms. At least that is the hope of Belgian eco-designer Mathilde Wittock, who fashions bespoke furniture from discarded tennis balls. Wittock’s sleek, modernist chaise longues are entirely cushionless — save for the padding of 500 precisely arranged tennis balls. Her one meter-long benches are similarly sparse, with some 270 balls being both stylish and structurally substantial. https://bs2siteat.net bs2site.at “It takes around 24 different manufacturing steps to (make) a tennis ball, which is around five days. Then it has such a short lifespan,” Wittock told CNN in a video call from Brussels. “I was looking into tennis balls because I played tennis myself, so I know there is a lot of waste.” Around 300 million tennis balls are produced each year — and almost all of them end up in landfills, taking over 400 years to decompose. The US Open, which ended at the weekend, goes through around 70,000 each year, with Wimbledon not far behind at 55,000. Wittock estimates the lifecycle of a ball stands at just nine games, depending on the level of tennis being played. “Even if they are contained in their box, if the box has been opened the gas inside the tennis balls will be released over time,” she said. “(Eventually) they will get flat and you’ll have to throw them away.”
