Understanding the Differences Between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a digital cryptocurrency that was created in 2017 as a result of a hard fork of the Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain. This means that BCH shares many of the same characteristics as Bitcoin, but with some key differences.
Like Bitcoin, BCH is a decentralized, peer-to-peer currency that allows users to send and receive payments without the need for intermediaries like banks or credit card companies. BCH transactions are verified and recorded on a public blockchain, which provides security and transparency.
One of the main differences between BCH and Bitcoin is the block size limit. The Bitcoin blockchain has a maximum block size of 1 MB, which limits the number of transactions that can be processed per second. This has led to scalability issues, with high transaction fees and long wait times for transactions to be confirmed.
In contrast, the BCH blockchain has a larger block size limit of 8 MB, which allows for more transactions to be processed per second. This has helped to reduce transaction fees and improve the speed of transactions on the BCH network.
Another key difference between BCH and Bitcoin is the mining algorithm. Bitcoin uses a proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm, which requires miners to solve complex mathematical problems in order to create new blocks and earn rewards. This process is resource-intensive and requires specialized hardware, which has led to the centralization of the Bitcoin mining industry.
In contrast, BCH uses a proof-of-stake (PoS) algorithm, which allows users to earn rewards for holding and staking their BCH. This process is less resource-intensive and allows for more decentralized mining.
In addition to its technical differences, BCH also has a different community and development team than Bitcoin. While Bitcoin has a large and active community of users and developers, BCH has a smaller and more focused community. This has led to some differences in the priorities and goals of the two cryptocurrencies.
Overall, Bitcoin Cash is a digital currency that offers many of the same benefits as Bitcoin, with some key technical and community differences. Whether you choose to use BCH or Bitcoin, or another cryptocurrency, is up to you and your personal preferences.
Control Your Light Bulb with a Clap of Your Hands!
Have you ever wished you could turn on a light just by clapping your hands? Well, now you can! With just a few simple steps, you can use code to create a clap-controlled light bulb.
First, you'll need a light bulb and a device that can run code, such as a computer or a microcontroller like an Arduino. You'll also need a microphone to detect the sound of your claps.
Next, you'll need to write a program that listens for the sound of a clap and then turns the light on or off. You can use a programming language like Python or C++ to write this program.
I will show you how to write this in python.
This Python program uses a microcontroller and sound sensor to control a light bulb. The program reads the input from the sound sensor and uses it to detect clapping. When a valid clapping pattern is detected, the program toggles the light on or off.
This program uses the Raspberry Pi GPIO library to control the light and microphone. You will need to install this library before running the program.
**Import the required libraries**
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import os
**Set the GPIO mode**
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
**Set the GPIO pin that the light is connected to**
LIGHT_PIN = 18
**Set the GPIO pin that the microphone is connected to and the sensitivity of the microphone** *(smaller values are more sensitive)*
MIC_PIN = 23
SENSITIVITY = 300
**Set up the GPIO pin for the light**
GPIO.setup(LIGHT_PIN, GPIO.OUT)
**Set up the GPIO pin for the microphone**
GPIO.setup(MIC_PIN, GPIO.IN)
**This function will be called when the microphone detects a clap**
def clap_detected():
# Turn the light on or off
if GPIO.input(LIGHT_PIN) == GPIO.LOW:
GPIO.output(LIGHT_PIN, GPIO.HIGH)
else:
GPIO.output(LIGHT_PIN, GPIO.LOW)
**Continuously listen for claps**
while True:
# Read the microphone input
mic_level = GPIO.input(MIC_PIN)
**If the mic input is above the sensitivity level, a clap is detected**
if mic_level > SENSITIVITY:
clap_detected()
**Sleep for a short time to avoid constantly checking the mic input**
time.sleep(0.1)
his program uses the Raspberry Pi GPIO library to control the light and microphone. You will need to install this library before running the program.
To use this program, connect the light to GPIO pin 18 and the microphone to GPIO pin 23 on your Raspberry Pi. Then, run the program and clap your hands to turn the light on and off. You can adjust the sensitivity of the microphone by changing the `SENSITIVITY` variable in the program. Smaller values are more sensitive and will detect claps more easily, but may also pick up other sounds. You may need to experiment with different values to find the best sensitivity for your setup.
Here's how the full program looks like:
# Import the required libraries
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import os
# Set the GPIO mode
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
# Set the GPIO pin that the light is connected to
LIGHT_PIN = 18
# Set the GPIO pin that the microphone is connected to
MIC_PIN = 23
# Set the sensitivity of the microphone (smaller values are more sensitive)
SENSITIVITY = 300
# Set up the GPIO pin for the light
GPIO.setup(LIGHT_PIN, GPIO.OUT)
# Set up the GPIO pin for the microphone
GPIO.setup(MIC_PIN, GPIO.IN)
# This function will be called when the microphone detects a clap
def clap_detected():
# Turn the light on or off
if GPIO.input(LIGHT_PIN) == GPIO.LOW:
GPIO.output(LIGHT_PIN, GPIO.HIGH)
else:
GPIO.output(LIGHT_PIN, GPIO.LOW)
# Continuously listen for claps
while True:
# Read the microphone input
mic_level = GPIO.input(MIC_PIN)
# If the mic input is above the sensitivity level, a clap is detected
if mic_level > SENSITIVITY:
clap_detected()
# Sleep for a short time to avoid constantly checking the mic input
time.sleep(0.1)
Note: This program is intended for use with a Raspberry Pi, but it can be adapted for use with other devices that have a GPIO interface and support Python. You may need to modify the code and wiring accordingly.
I also have another version of this python program that uses the `gpiozero library`
Check it on my Github https://github.com/requiredcrx/Clap-Activated-Light-Control
Once your program is ready, connect the microphone to your device and the light bulb to the device's output. Then, run the program and test it out by clapping your hands. If everything is working correctly, the light should turn on and off each time you clap.
Now, you can impress your friends and family with your clap-controlled light bulb! Just be careful not to clap too loudly, or you might end up turning the light on and off accidentally.
With a little bit of code and a little bit of creativity, you can control all sorts of things with just a clap of your hands. So why not give it a try and see what you can create?
Guns Don't Kill People.
“*Guns don't kill people. People kill people.*" I'm not going to offend anyone, but to be honest with you, this article will sound a little harsh because I'm sure this article will be frank about issues of **arms** and **rights.**
The world is a free land. Well, that is by design. But as the year 2021 passes, our freedom is getting less and less, and I think this is killing us as nations of the continent. Initially, we had the right to carry weapons *(weapons, firearms, etc.*). However, at current rates, the freedom to carry weapons will be deprived in the near future.
image source https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/XmevtG0DOyTykuzTsydtTG13kOiqfbh3zsnmez-ygcEAaIYwj8Cej48NAODxIsFMicfmw7PsC6EHwo4cgpR1E015vJgTy8F3mjIh2UXCnwTet9rEOhX5VUn8
Still confused? See, weapons don't take lives. People are taking other people's lives, and they're taking my mind too! The attack is an action, not a means.
I don't have a pistol (*except the vintage BB pistol I inherited from my grandfather!*); lol, I'm just kidding. So I'm not pushing along to protect a collection of weapons I don't have. But I still have free speech *(I wonder how long this will last)*. So I want to use this freedom to encourage others to uphold some of our other freedoms.
**Firearms control** and **free control** are separate. Think about it. How many thieves and murderers buy guns from local gun stores? How nice would it be to continue to impose stronger restrictions on gun stores and ordinary citizens buying from local gun stores? If the "bad guy" wants a gun, no matter what laws are in effect, they will continue to get guns as they do today...it's illegal. Like drugs, it's all done on the black market. The problem is that once you start increasing the number of black market gun deals, the kill rate increases. Have you ever heard of drug trade failures? What if the arms trade fails?
I'm not saying that everyone should have guns. The deprivation of the liberties of ordinary citizens will only make the situation worse. Taking freedom from the public doesn't help anyone. This goes back to not treating the symptoms incorrectly as the problem gets worse. The short answer is that the world needs government reform, not social reform.
Those who continue to believe that the government will solve all your problems and that the government is responsible for everything are essentially suicidal. You don't know what's good for you anymore because you let the government say what it thinks is good for you, and now you can't think for yourself.
Let me give you an example that may seem odd. But if you have more control over your thoughts, it may not make any sense!
If the world sees weapons as a means of killing and decides to ban them, what is the next logical course of action? Killers have started buying weapons on the black market, but the problem is only getting worse as knives are now more often used as a killing weapon. I think we should outlaw knives, including butter knives (*which students haven't been able to use in the canteen for years*)... but, the last time I checked, a pen was much more dangerous than a plastic butter knife. In any case, you will soon no longer be able to own a knife, a saw, an axe, a shovel, a pen, and even a pencil. Soon it will be illegal to own anything. Because you see, no matter what you take away from people, the one thing they still have is the freedom to act. In the end, all we were left with was the body. Anyone who wants to kill will kill no matter what the weapon is. Then the killer will start to strangle people with his hand. The only solution is to start cutting everyone's hands. But we don't have a knife or a saw to cut it, so what should we do?
I said that allowing a murderer to kill is freedom of action. Is it now proposed to deprive people of freedom of choice, action, and movement? Any clever psychologist out there will tell you that this is our decision.
I suggest that you stop what the current judicial system is doing. They take freedom from innocent people and give it to criminals. Admit it, this is motivation. What's the bigger motivator for me to start a business in the my country when the taxes are outrageous, the paperwork is endless, and the legal process is a twisted web that will get you no matter what you do.
We literally motivate murder and a felony in a certain number of people in many countries. They are much better in prison than on the street. They enjoy more freedom and luxury in prison than the most famous orphanages. Many of these offenders live in poverty, in shelters or subsidized families. So our countries does one of two things that are destructive to our economy, our freedom, our integrity, and society as a whole. There are two options. Offer free money and food (Social Security) or better luxury in the prison system.

Back to motivation. Stop motivating criminals in your country. I believe most of you will not believe that we are doing something as stupid as a society. Well, look around. These countries are doing a lot of stupid things, from killing millions of unborn babies by legalizing abortion as a pro-choice to making God inconsequential in our educational systems. (If you don't think taking prayer out of school had a negative impact, look at our society's decline after these laws were passed, Then go with them. https://image.winudf.com/v2/image1/Y29tLmdtcy5wcmlzb25lcnN1cnZpdmFsbWlzc2lvbi5zdGVhbHRoYWN0aW9uX3NjcmVlbl8wXzE1NTI2MTUzMzdfMDQ2/screen-0.jpg?fakeurl=1&type=.jpg
Why are we giving some lady millions of dollars when she spills coffee on herself? See how crazy lawsuits have grown since then! Our judicial system needs a major overhaul. Instead of slapping people on their wrists or put them in a livable place with cable TV, the gym, three hot meals, and a break, let's put them in a messy little cell... Let's cut off the hands of the thief, rather than the hands of the innocent to prevent thieving. Let's encourage criminals to STOP committing crimes and not do the opposite.
Give me the right to protect myself and my family from criminals instead of giving criminals the power to kill me, and me sueing my family because the criminal left the crime scene and got me injured. Do you think this doesn't happen? You may need to look closely at court records. They happen all the time!
Wake up! read.cashians , you are suicidal.
Everything is on the floor!
If the weapon causes a crime,
Then Pencils causes spelling errors.
If you do not know your rights,
You don't have them.
Knowing weapons is knowing peace and security.
No weapons, no peace, no security.
You don't shoot to kill.
You shoot to survive.
You have only the rights you are willing to fight for.

Following my recent article on whether abortion is Pro-Choice

****First and foremost:****
Let's be clear: there are two sides to this debate: **pro-life** and **pro-abortion**. **Pro-Choice** is chosen between the red and white shirts as you wake up in the morning. If proponents of abortion want the word "**choice**" in their name, I'll call them "**Anti-Choice,**" since that's precisely what they offer to each kid they kill.
Having said that, any **pro-abortion** advocates on read.cash who want to engage in a dialogue with me on the subject are welcome to do so, as long as it isn't a hair-pulling contest or some other pointless debate. A conversation that is serious and open-minded is always appreciated. Stepping on toes is OK since it demonstrates that no territorial boundaries have been created; after all, how else can I pull you to "my side" if there is a territorial line between us?!
****Thoughts:****

Please bear with me on this one. I'd be charged with theft if I went to the nearby chicken farm and took a newly laid egg. Despite the fact that the egg has not yet hatched, and the young chicken has not yet been born, this is the case. It's a question of "productive assets." Despite the fact that the chick hasn't hatched, the egg is valuable to the breeder. Obviously, the egg is valuable as a food source, and it also has the potential to be used as a meat supply or another chicken that produces eggs.
So, how does it work with a fetus? They have the potential to be productive, but they aren't worth much right now? They've spent the previous nine months causing their mother's depressive episodes and strange eating habits, so she decides she no longer wants the God-breathed kid. She can legally "dispose" of him/her as long as he/she hasn't seen the light of day. Oh, but wait, that's no longer true since even though the child has seen the light of day, he still lacks the right to life. After all, his/her feet haven't seen a delivery room yet, so there's still time to terminate.

So, when does a child start working? Shouldn't we be allowed to "**choose**" whether to retain a child after witnessing their destructive behavior as a regular two-year-old? Don't we at the very least deserve a "**test drive**"? To determine whether we truly desire a kid.
What if, instead, we wanted to raise a kid and share those carefree years with them? However, once kids reach those ostensibly squandered years of adolescent rebellion, how about we get rid of them now?
Isn't it true that adolescence seems to induce more severe mood swings than pregnancy? And using your hard-earned money to support the local Fast food King, while our tax dollars pay for them to go to school, where they never paid attention in the first place. Then there are the weekend devastation and drinking parties. But maybe the thought is, "We've come this far... a few more years, and they'll be handy in the workplace, so we'd better keep them now."
So how cruel am I to advocate for the death of hyperactive kids and enraged teenagers? It doesn't seem much crueler than murdering an innocent infant, who provides the most peace because they sleep 90% of the time!
Is this a question of productivity? Perhaps, but most likely not. It's a matter of moral degradation in society. It's another step of transformation. You may legally kill a kid during the first trimester, then the second, and third, and now you can take his or her life as long as they aren't fully born.

A doctor may be on the verge of executing a legal abortion, but if a psychopath rushes in and murders both the woman and the kid, he will be charged with double murder. I merely query, "Why?” How can anyone be charged with murder if they kill the fetus of a pregnant woman? Is a fetus merely if we don't want it, but a kid if we do? Is a teen a fetus, if none of us desired it?
Consider what is acceptable in today's culture against what was acceptable 50 years ago. Throughout the transitional stages, you'll see an unsettling tendency of gradual degradation. Will I be instructed to "learn fast, things are different"? Should society be told, "Get used to it; things have changed?" Because things are unique, but uniqueness isn't necessarily a good thing. Society must "wake up" and see that we are regressing rather than developing.
The ideal choice may be to abort a less productive civilization, but who would execute such a procedure? What about the one who gave us life, to begin with?
**Aborting this article does not abort this message!**
Who's Right?
For those of you who prefer not to get involved in the topic of abortion, please stop seeing this now.

In most countries, the importation of **RU-486** was banned. **RU-486** may be a pill, also referred to as **Mifepristone**. These are the terms you may hear when referring to the pill during a "medical" setting or from our deceived friends at planned parenthood. In plain English, this can be the **Mifepristone**. That's right, no more have to attend the hospital to abort a baby anymore, it can be done at home with the ease of popping a pill.

My intent isn't to undertake and convince anyone that abortion is wrong, in fact, it's murder. If you refuse to acknowledge that sex was designed by God as a sacred thing in marriage, which is also a variety of reproduction, then skip to the top where you've got an assignment! (your assignment will ultimately be graded by God, and it's pass or fail, not in between, so you better study up!)
This is a call to action for those of you who know and understand that upon conception, a toddler could be a child. A living human who has been blessed with life from God. That child includes a soul, that soul gives the kid rights as somebody's being. Rights to measure and grow and to satisfy his/her purpose in life as a baby of God.
Pro-choice isn't a choice to the slightest degree. It's "pro-permission". Permission to murder, a license to kill. what number of "pro-choice" organizations does one see actually educating someone on the selection between allowing a baby to change state, or killing the child? Instead, they simply do their best to scale back the guilt in making a sinful decision.
Once again, that means we'
ve to fight for what's right. When Clinton took the office as President of the U.S, he allowed the abortifacient to be researched in America. This research was for 2 purposes.
1. Is the pill effective, and for how long after conception is it effective.
2. Is it safe? (safe for the mother taking the pill of course). Essentially, what are the side effects for the one that takes it?
In 1996, the FDA said the pill is both effective and safe. Now it's simply a matter of granting final marketing approval to start using the drug throughout America.
I'm giving an assignment to every one of you. there'll be two groups here on read.cash, so you each have a unique assignment.
First group: For those of you who do not see or admit that abortion is murder, I beg you to educate yourself a little. Stop being so narrow-minded and think about the subject. What does God have to say on the subject? Learn about what constitutes human life (according to our creator, not according to our foolish laws). Not wanting to deal with the consequences of our actions is the number one reason we have abortions. Stop justifying something without looking at, and admitting the facts.
Second group: (This would be all of you who don't put yourselves in group 1)!! Write your representatives. Simple as that. Let them know you aren't interested in bringing in more murder weapons. Tell them if they want to kill unborn children, to use all those guns they are taking away from us!! (Ok, bad idea, please wait for my article on gun control!). Don't hound them and rip into them. They are our leaders. God has commanded us to pray for them, so do that as well. But just email them and let them know you strongly oppose the use of these pills. Remember, they are supposed to be "for the people". They "REPRESENT US". Those who speak in this country, are those who are in charge. So for those of us who want to start seeing a change in our society, starting here on read.cash, we need to speak!! Planned Parenthood is not the majority of this country, but they have the loudest voice. When the rest of us are mute, or only whisper, how can we expect change?
Why do Mosquitoes bite some people and not others?
There's a good chance that there's a killer lurking in your home right now. She's probably watching you from some shadowy corner of your house even as you read this article. Don't bother looking over your shoulder, she's far too stealthy, and in fact- she's probably already struck. Without you even knowing it she's already injected you with a deadly cocktail, and now you're as good as dead. If you live anywhere but Antarctica, then you're pretty well acquainted with the mosquito. These flying insects are the bane of all humans during the spring and summer months, and they can ruin anything from a day at the lake to a backyard barbecue. But in many cases, they'll do more than just leave behind an itchy bump, as mosquitoes are also one of the leading disease vectors in the natural kingdom.
In fact, mosquitoes are considered by many to be the deadliest animal to have ever existed, and some scientists estimate that they may have killed as many as half of all humans that have ever lived, all through the spread of various diseases and parasites. The mosquito of today is no exception, and reports of deadly West Nile virus have popped up everywhere from Canada to the United States to across Europe.
You can't run, and you definitely can't hide. Mosquitoes will look for you. They will find you. And like revenge, they just might kill you. The best part? With global warming, heating up the earth, and changing the climate, the northern latitudes that mosquitoes can show up at have been steadily Increasing for years, and the long warm seasons all around the world have given mosquitoes even more time to do what they do best: breed by the trillions. Soon, any argument that global warming is real or not will be moot as we’ll all be too busy trying to climb out from under an avalanche of disease-bearing mosquitoes. But why do mosquitoes even bite in the first place?
And why does it seem like sometimes you get covered from head to toe in bites that refuse to stop itching for days while your friend remains somehow untouched? Well, this might come as a surprise, but mosquitoes primarily feed on nectar, the natural juices of various plants, and fruit juices, and in fact, the male mosquito does not bite animal hosts at all, sticking to an all-vegan diet that compliments his modern yoga-fueled lifestyle. Male mosquitoes it turns out are rather peaceful individuals and have no wish to harm any other living beings, content to gather all their sustenance from fruits and plants. See you at the smoothie bar, Mr. Mosquito. Female mosquitoes, on the other hand, are hellbent, rampant, bloodthirsty succubi that kill in the millions all in the name of procreation. That's because before a female mosquito can lay her eggs, she needs to obtain proteins only found in the blood of animals. When a daddy mosquito loves a mommy mosquito very much, he gifts her a package of sperm which she holds on to in order to develop eggs, and then the mommy mosquito flies away to drink the blood of dozens of innocent victims,
leaving a trail of death and destruction in her wake. Many human relationships follow a similar pattern. Only by acquiring fresh blood can her body get the proteins that she can't get from plant nectar which in turn allow her to rapidly develop a brood of eggs, which she then fertilizes with the male's sperm package. While the exact process varies depending on the species of mosquito- because nature hates you and wants you to know it so of course there are more than one species- ultimately the female will find a source of water or moisture in order to deposit her eggs.
Then, her job is done, and she flies away to do it all over again- unlike many other species of insects and animals, mosquitoes breed as often as they can, and once again scientists have confirmed that this is because nature hates us. On their own, though, mosquitoes are quite harmless- even the females who do all the biting. When a mosquito bites, she is kind enough to inject you with a topical anesthetic that numbs the immediate area of the bite.
Then she injects her needle-like proboscis deep into your flesh- an instrument so finely tuned that today scientists are replicating its construction in order to make pain-free syringes. However, like a sloppy first-time kisser, the mosquito's saliva ends up spreading all over your bodily tissues, and this triggers an immune response from your hyper-vigilant immune system. The body then produces histamine, which is aimed at increasing blood flow to the area so that more white blood cells can hitch a ride to the site of the intrusion, but unfortunately, the histamine also messes with nerve cells in the vicinity, which causes the intense itching associated with mosquito bites. Some people's immune systems however don't even react to the mosquito's saliva, either because their immune system is incredibly lazy and can't be bothered to do its job, or because it has grown tolerant to the saliva after identifying it as a non-threat.
You can always identify who these lucky individuals who don't react to mosquito bites are by the way they constantly ask, “There are mosquitoes in these parts?” when you show up looking like you've developed the measles after a
two-day camping trip. Try and not to hurt them, no matter how much they deserve it.
On their own, mosquitoes are pretty harmless. Just like sharing needles amongst drug users triggered an AIDS crisis in inner-city populations around the world decades ago though, having mosquitoes fly from victim to victim and biting each is a great way to transfer diseases. Though the mosquito uses your blood to create
its offspring- which we have to admit is the pretty metal of them- there's bound to be microscopic portions of blood and all the other things it contains left in its proboscis, which is then injected into a new host when the mosquito bites again. This makes mosquitoes the world's number one disease vector, with between 725,000 and 1 million estimated victims a year. Most of these victims fall prey to malaria, which has been haunting mankind for millennia and still infects an estimated 200 million people every year, killing 600,000. This officially makes mosquitoes the deadliest animal on earth, surpassing even the total kill count of humanity. By comparison, the US civil war is the deadliest in its history- killed approximately 620,000 in four years of fighting. That means every year mosquitoes kill the equivalent of a four-year American civil war. While medicine constantly improves and access to health care is expanded around the world, global warming is believed to only increase these figures, even into modern First World.

What would happen if the Sun disappear?
`Part I`
Our solar system, the earth, and the other planets and their moons revolve around the Sun. This happens because of the strong gravitational pull from the Sun's incredible mass which equals an incredible 99.86% of our solar system's total mass, and as Earth and the other planets orbit around the Sun, our entire solar system is traveling through space at the same time and a velocity of about 20km/s suddenly remove the center point of gravity from our solar system and catastrophic events could happen. The first thing that would befall the earth in eternal darkness is darkness, but it takes about eight minutes and 20 seconds for sunlight to travel from the Sun to the earth, we wouldn't know the Sun was gone until that short time later. We would still be able to see other planets farther out in the solar system reflecting sunlight from the Sun that no Longer exists Jupiter for instance would still be visible in the black night sky for 33 minutes after we lost our sunlight our Moon would also no longer be visible in the sky people on the dayside of the planet would notice the sun's light going out first and some on the night side would see the moon's light fade out just about the same time that sunlight stopped traveling to our planet the gravitational pull from the Sun would be gone since gravitational waves traveled the same speed as the speed of light with the gravitational pull of the Sun suddenly gone
Mercury, Venus, and then the earth would shoot outwards traveling the same speed the earth will be hurtling through the coldness of space at 30 km/s or 60 7108 points zero nine miles per hour mass panic and chaos would start when everyone had suddenly realized the Sun had just vanished some people may die from the shock and disbelief at what has happened many people would die from widespread panic as people flee to their homes or try to find safe places to get to there would be no light except for artificial light powered by electricity as long as the power plants remained operational and the people who operate them were still able to keep them running, the warmth from the Sun would stop and some places would experience near-instant temperature drop in comparison data obtained during the 2017 solar eclipse show temperatures dropped, and in some places by as much as 11 degrees during the time when the moon blocked out the Sun. if the Sun was completely gone, we can safely say temperatures could drop by 20 degrees, or more instantly, but besides surface temperatures suddenly dropping the loss of sunlight, also poses a bigger threat as if slowly freezing to death isn't threat enough.
The biggest problem would be the loss of photosynthesis which makes up 99.9% of all the Earth's natural productivity. The process would eventually cease in about 24 hours without the Sun, plants would not be able to produce food or take in carbon dioxide and give off life-sustaining oxygen. However, we would still be able to survive because the oxygen supply in our atmosphere is an estimated quintillion tons of oxygen, which is enough oxygen left in our atmosphere to survive another 150 thousand years. That is until the atmosphere itself froze and fell to earth as frozen black ice, and unless someone figured out a way to fix the lighting problem fast, all plants would start to die because they are unable to produce food for themselves, and depending on the size of the plant, they start to die within days or weeks. Larger trees and plants could survive longer depending on how much food the tree or large plant had stored, some trees can live from 6 months to a year in the cold and dark, but eventually, without the Sun, the trees that survived would start to freeze and then eventually would start to turn into ice.
Animals that depended on plant matter to survive like cows, goats, horses, and other grazing animals would run out of food. First, carnivores like lions, bears, tigers, and other meat-eating creatures will surely live longer feeding off the herbivores, weakened by cold and starvation. This of course would be dependent on if those carnivores could survive the dropping temperatures. All across the glob,e but most carnivores like wolves and bears can survive very cold temperatures, fish in shallow lakes or rivers will likely freeze to death, and if those lakes rivers and streams started to freeze over with ice within a week, the average global surface temperature of the earth will drop below zero degrees Fahrenheit.

What Happens After Death?

**What happens after we die?** For many it's not a topic we often want to talk about and looking deeper into the nuts and bolts, passing on is a difficult task yet it is a fact of life an inescapable inevitability and it has been a go-to subject for researchers, philosophers, and even the atheists. From all around the world for centuries death is arguably the greatest most mysterious and most unsettling of great unknowns. Many of us fear death because we are born knowing only life, but of course, we know that's gonna happens.
What happens when you rest in peace, at last, to be remembered? Despite our scientifically based opinions about death these days, most of us seem to believe in life after death.
In 2014, British citizens were polled by the Telegraph, and just under 60 percent of respondents stated that they believed in the continuity of part of us. In the United States, which is still a very Christian country, *some research in 2015 asked people what happens after they die?*. The study found that 72 percent of Americans believe we go to heaven, which has been described as a place "where people who have lived good lives are rewarded eternally." Fiftyfour percent of US adults responded that they believe in fire, which has been described as a place "where people who have lived bad lives are eternally punished without guilt". With that in mind, welcome to this episode of my article on read.cash.
What Happens When You Die?
**(Feast or Evil?)** `You might want to subscribe to get more interesting articles I’ve yet to publish.` Most people seem to believe that after a death we may lie in paradise with some clouds scattered or vice versa, if we do not adhere to the ethics prescribed by our chosen religion or the name of that religion, we may be punished by eternal hell and the spectacle of groveling to a redbearded man who seldom casts his pitchforks. But now let's start with some empirical facts and what will happen to the body when we die. Doctors know you're dead because your heart has stopped beating and there's no longer any electrical activity in your brain. Brain dying means virtually death, although machines can keep you alive a little longer. You can also develop what's called cardiac apoptosis, which means your heart has stopped beating and blood flow through your body has stopped.
The strange thing, and the surprising thing, is that the people who suffered from cardiac death but were brought back to life said that they were aware of what was happening around them. Others spoke of walking toward a light in a kind of neardeath experience. You can be brought back from what we call clinical death, but you have a grace period of about four to six minutes. But let's say you reach the light and cross it, that's what we'll call `biological death`. Endgame, last whistle, dead. And here's where it gets kind of awkward, but why would you care, you're dead. As soon as you get in the evening, you're not with us, your muscles relax, and that means your juicers too, that is, the three bags of Weber and the big pans you had for lunch will come out of you, and the gases inside you will probably leak out and cause a stink. The same happens to urine in your bladder, so dying is a bit messy. And guys, you might as well ejaculate. Likewise, for women, you may be born after your death if you are pregnant, and this is called ***“the birth of the grave.”*** It doesn't happen often though. Instead of pressure, gases in the abdomen push the newborn into the world.
As the body is getting rid of what was stuck inside, the air can make sounds from your mouth. Nurses and people who work near dead bodies have commonly documented hearing the sigh of a living person and the groaning of dead bodies. You can twitch as well, but that doesn't mean there's life in you, it's just muscle contractions. You can get an erection quickly if you die lying on your stomach with blood flowing downward. All of your blood will collect around a specific area of your body. It's called ***"throw blue"*** and it's why parts of you have that deep purple you saw on TV. Some nice things can happen soon after you die. With no blood flowing through your body, it will begin to lose heat, which is known as ***"death chill"*** or simply ***"death chills."*** Your temperature will continue to drop until it is in line with your surroundings. It will harden within two to six hours, which is what we call "dead rheumatism." This happens because calcium gets into the muscle cells. The cells break down without blood flow and this leads to bacterial growth, which is why your degeneration begins. It may seem that your hair or nails have grown, but that is not right. What happens is your skin recedes, giving the impression of growth. The skin will relax, too, and pimples will appear on the surface of the body. The second stage is putrefaction when germs and microorganisms start feeding on you. You will soon start to smell as bad as anything you could have imagined when you were alive. One person described the smell as: "Rotten eggs, feces, and a bathroom left for a month multiplied by a thousand. It's hideous." Soon everything that's soft will melt, with things like bones, cartilage, and hair still strong. By the time you are buried, you will be well on your way to disintegration. But in the case of embalming and burial, decomposition can be a slow process. If left on the ground, it will be a melting mess within a month, feeding on insects, grubs, plants, and animals. Underground, some scientists say it may take eight to twelve years before you return to just a skeleton.
After about fifty years, even your bones will be part of the dirt. We must add that the rate of decay depends on all kinds of factors and is too much to mention here. But we think you got the picture. While some people have stated that their near-death experiences were a sight to behold, this is not always true. One Reddit blogger stated that his experience was like this: "It was just a black void, no thinking, no consciousness, nothing." Is there anything else? Irish philosopher George Berkeley was so reckless about knowing what happens after death, or those moments during clinical death, that he hanged himself to the point of death.

My first article on read.cash
"Hello World"
Hello there, After four days of joining and leaving comments on read.cash, I decided it was time to create my first piece, which will center on myself and my lifestyle
*Please be aware that I am not a big lover of social media and don't share much about myself on any of the sites I use, so some of what you'll read here will be experimental. If you don't understand, I apologize.*
My name is Olalekan Isaiah. *"Kyc Nakelalo," "Required," and "Crx Isaiah"* are just a few of my nicknames. LOL.. Most of the time, I can be a freak.
I have always piqued my interest technology and computer-related activities. Having gained numerous internet skills and enhanced my computer literacy by around 33% this year compared to prior years.
My abilities include a wide range of topics. `Graphics design, web design, SEO optimization, digital marketing, Excel, Python, javascript, C++, HTML5,` and a few more skills as required.
I'm still in my early twenties, having reached 24 this year, and I've yet to have my first girlfriend for a variety of reasons that I can't even explain; perhaps I haven't discovered a compelling reason to have one.
I would focus more on privacy if I were to develop something in my life since I have always liked seclusion. Because I had always liked being alone, I had spent at least 35% of my life alone. It may seem strange, but I'm not sure why.
My first school experience was incredible while I was growing up. For five years in a row, I was consistently at the top of the class. Then, because my parents could afford it, I went to a private school. wait, I just said my parents? Oh, my God! I hadn't lived with my father since I was four months old, so I was raised by my mother until I was in my twenties. After my mother and father divorced, my father lived apart. It was absurd growing up not knowing or seeing my father until I paid him a visit in 2020, although we are in a different city, but That's another tale I'm not going to get into right now.
Fast forward a few years, and I'd finished elementary school and was ready to go on to high school. My first school was one of the best in town at the time, and it also offered a secondary level, which I had planned to attend after completing my primary schooling
Unfortunately, I was painting some of my favorite drawings when my mother informed me that I would not be continuing my secondary education at the same school where I had started since she could no longer pay the tuition. She convinced me to enroll in my town's community public school. I cried because I felt helpless as a child when I heard this since I had always acquired indifference in public schools because I knew the sort of atmosphere, people, and other variables I would be exposed to. It's as if I'm getting a new perspective on the world
To cut a long tale short, I enrolled in a public school where the environment and classmates had a significant effect on me. My grades and performance have deteriorated significantly, and I am no longer able to compete with the earlier version of myself intellectually. Each semester and session, it worsened. When I learnt I wouldn't be able to pass the West African test, I was already in my final year of secondary school. Then I started contemplating how I might minimize the dangers I'd be taking into the exam hall. I began studying diligently, but it was too late to make up for what I had lost in prior years. In the end, I was able to pass most of my courses with credits, which I didn't think were good enough but kept me from failing any of the subjects on the exam. https://waecdirect.org
My mother doesn't need to inform me she can't afford a university once I finish high school because I already knew it before I took my exams. I worked at a factory while taking a few tutorials in preparation for the university entrance exam. For me, it's been a really trying and stressful circumstance. In my tutorial, I was usually at the top of the class, beating everyone to the highest grade in every topic. I took JAMB for five years and passed all of the cut-offs, but each year of admission, I either don't get in or get admitted without being able to pay the requisite costs. https://jamb.org
After a series of fruitless attempts, I decided to apply for a part-time program, which I am now enrolled in. I've also kept myself busy with various online courses that have now helped me improve year after year. There's more to it than that.
I am now pursuing a part-time degree in Electrical Engineering at one of Nigeria's most prestigious Polytechnics.
In my next piece, I'll discuss some of the ideas or research I've done throughout the years. It's going to be a lot of fun. To get alerted, you might wish to subscribe.
