That was exactly fifty years ago. On April 3, 1973, Martin Cooper, an engineer at Motorola, made the first call from a mobile phone. He then had in his hands – it took two, given its weight of 1 kg – the DynaTAC model, with a range of twenty-five minutes and marketed at some 5,000 dollars. The telephone will then take time to democratize. It will be only ten years later that Motorola, still him, will market the first telephone, the DynaTAC 8000X, for 3995 dollars. The device still measured 33 cm and weighed 794 g. The first SMS will be sent on December 3, 1992 and seven years later, the Nokia 7110 opened the way to mobile Internet, thanks to WAP technology. The iPhone will appear in 2007, three years following the launch of 3G in Switzerland.

MasterChef: Emilio was the first eliminated from the competition
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
This Sunday at the elimination gala of MasterChef, Emilio Falbo was left out of the competition. The lawyer was saddened by the jury’s decision, but left proud of the dish that he was encouraged to present.
At the beginning of the evening, Emilio was just as nervous as his companions. They all wore the black apron and none wanted to become the first eliminated from the program. “I’m very scared,” launched the man in the run-up to the final test.
“Emilio, last time the jury was quite hard on you,” launched Wanda Nara, but the participant corrected her: “No, it was not hard enough. He responded to the dish I presented to him. You have to be aware that when you do something wrong, it’s wrong.”
On the recommendation of Donato de Santis, Falbo was encouraged to prepare a more daring meal: sorrentinos de seso. “I have a barbaric shit and then a very big emotion because when I got to the fridge and saw the brain, my grandmother Quiquita came to my head and I brought the brain without thinking if she was going to use it. Donato encouraged me. Now I hope that the return is good ”, he expressed almost on the verge of tears.
MasterChef: the sorrentinos de seso eliminated Emilio
The jury tried the dish, but the return was not favorable. Despite that, they recognized him for having been encouraged to prepare something complex.
“It lacks cooking, it has a small amount of filling, mixed with the caramelized onion it does not enhance it, it turns it off. You were daring and when one is daring, it can go well or it can go wrong”, commented Damián Betular.
The Italian congratulated the participant for having the idea of recreating a dish with Argentine and immigration history, but considered that it was lacking, especially because of the sauce. For his part, Martitegui recognized that brains are difficult to cook and that worked once morest him.
In the end, Emilio went one-on-one with Micaela and Juan Francisco, but his plate mightn’t compete with that of his teammates. “I feel very sad, but happy for having been in this place,” the man acknowledged.

To the east, the Delaware Blue Coats (team affiliated with the Sixers) compost their ticket for the final by beating the Long Island Nets 108-94 (you guessed the affiliation). Led by Jaden Springer who signs a very fat double-double (21 points, 16 rebounds) and by a Mac McClung at 16 units, the Blue Coats chain a third straight final in the G League. After losing the first in 2020-21 to the Lakeland Magic, they will find the defending Rio Grande Valley Vipers for the second straight season.
In the West the meeting was tighter and the Vipers of the Grand Rio Valley (team affiliated with the Rockets) struggled well once morest the Sioux Falls Skyforce (team affiliated with the Heat). Thanks to a fiery fourth quarter (+10), the Vipers win at the finish 110-105 thanks to their duo Ty-Ty Washington Jr. / Jarret Culver, who will ultimately combine 55 points (26 and 29 points). The Vipers will therefore have the opportunity to defend their title in a remake of last year’s final.

“Endangered Insects: A Detailed Look at the Creatures Sharing Our Planet” – Featuring Vibrant Pictures
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Levon Pace, a British photographer known for his micro-macro photography, has created a series titled “Extinct or on the Verge of Extinction: Insects in Danger” to highlight the dwindling insect populations caused by human practices. Pace collaborated with the American Museum of Natural History to closely examine threatened, at-risk, and extinct insects. His photos reveal intricate details usually hidden from the human eye, inspiring respect and understanding for the insect world. He hopes that his work will encourage future generations to appreciate nature and value the importance of insects as humans need them to survive. The series was praised at the International Photography Festival “Exposure” in the Emirate of Sharjah.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) — Seeing insects has always provoked a feeling of disgust and annoyance for some, especially among those with “antomophobia” or insect phobia, but these clear and accurate snapshots of threatened species in the world of insects make a different impression than usual.

As for the insects presented in this series, they are either threatened, at risk of extinction, or already extinct. Human practices are among the main causes.
Working with specimens from collections held by the American Museum of Natural History, Pace invites us to take a closer look at these insects, and think regarding their importance to the planet we share with them.
In his interview with CNN in Arabic, Pace, who specializes in micro-macro photography, explained that such a crisis does not receive serious attention to a large extent, which may greatly affect the way we live in the future.
“Humans need insects to survive, that’s indisputable,” he said.
In Pace’s view, these creatures who share the planet must be valued and provided the conditions and habitat for them to thrive, to survive.
He added, “Humans are the main reason for the decline in insect numbers, and we must understand that we need to coexist with these creatures and not dominate the planet and its resources.”
As a professional photographer, Pace employs the aesthetics of nuanced photography to highlight such important issues, noting that declining insect populations lead to an imbalance in healthy ecosystems, something that has an immediate impact.

Pace explained that he used an imaging technique known as image stacking, noting that each photograph in the series was created by more than 10,000 individual images, using a dedicated camera system and microscopic lenses.
The final results reveal intricate details that are usually hidden from the human eye.
The clarity in these images allows the viewer to study these beautiful insects up close and encourages a new level of respect and understanding for the little beasts with whom we share the planet.
The work of the British photographer was praised and admired by the visitors of the seventh edition of the International Photography Festival “Exposure” in the Emirate of Sharjah.
“When the public can view insects on a larger scale, they appreciate the beauty of these creatures, and their relationship with them changes,” he said, adding, “I hope that these works will inspire and help people appreciate nature a little more, especially the younger generation, the decision-makers of the future.” “.
Levon Pace’s breathtaking series “Extinct or on the verge of extinction: Insects in danger” draws attention to the current crisis of declining insect populations and the loss of biodiversity. With his exceptional skills in micro-macro photography, Pace presents these tiny creatures in a new light, revealing intricate details that inspire a deeper appreciation of their beauty and importance. As humans, we need to understand that our actions have severe consequences on the planet we share with these creatures. We must strive towards coexistence and provide the conditions and habitat for them to thrive. Pace’s work reminds us of the interconnectivity of all living things and encourages us to take action towards ensuring a sustainable future.
