Evelyn PĆ©rezine, the woman who invented what many consider the first email processing, left at the age of 93, and PĆ©rezine launched her invention as Data Secretary when she was promoted by her company in 1971. His company, Redactron, has grown from 9 people to 500 people, according to Business Week, one of the leading business women in the United States in 1976. According to a report prepared by the network " BBC "Arab, Evelyn designed one of the computer flight booking systems, and was tested by United Airlines in 1962, according to the Museum of Computer History, the system worked for 11 years without any interruption of its central system. In an interview in 2015, Perezin said she had created her own project in the mid-1960s after concluding that her chances of success as an employee were still limited, she said. Initially he thought of developing a machine for counting money, but finally decided on electronic word processing. The device, which was develo

What is in the bottom of the mysterious great blue hole?

Image
Although it has existed since ancient times, the great blue hole in Belize, Central America, still retains its secrets and ambiguity. From time to time, scientific and non-scientific bodies announce an attempt to uncover the mystery of the crater, which was laid on the map in 1971 when French cosmologist Jacques Cousteau explored its depths. Nearly half a century after that attempt, and despite the great development of diving operations, most of the features and terrain of this giant blue hole remain obscure. Jacques Cousteau's grandson, Fabian Costo, recently announced that he was carrying out new research on the crater, as part of an initiative involving scientists, explorers and cinematographers to protect the oceans. A small, manned submarine is expected to reach the depths of the crater, estimated to be about 400 feet deep, and a full survey of the bottom of the crater, about 64 kilometers off the coast of Belize. The crater was thought to have formed part of a gi

Human activity drives Earth to an era without snow

Scientists have discovered that if humans still do not control gas emissions, we risk putting the climate in a state similar to that of 50 million years ago. According to scientists, in about 20 years the climate could return to a phase similar to that of the Middle Pliocene, more than 3 million years ago. By 2150, the climate could return to its level of 50 million years ago. According to the report of the new study published in "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences", man-made change began to take place two centuries ago, accelerating the observed changes. By studying future climate scenarios, the results showed that the Earth's climate could be similar to that of the Middle Pliocene period, where temperatures were more than 1.8 to 3.6 ° C, warmer than today, by 2030. Or 2040. The Panel also found that new climatic conditions, never seen before, could occur, particularly in East and South-East Asia, Australia. North and on the coasts of the Americas

Climate change will affect winter

Image
US scientists said that the amount of snow accumulated on the mountains was declining year after year, showing another time how dangerous the global warming of the planet was. In addition to decreasing the amount of snow accumulated, the period of appearance of the mountains in white decreases year by year, which means that the winter period gradually decreases with the unprecedented increase in the heat of the planet? Many parts of the world are therefore expected to suffer from a shortage of freshwater, as mountain snow is a vital source for rivers and wells. The frequent fires in forests, as in California, are blatant proof of the early arrival of summer, at the expense of winter. Scientists revealed the latest facts using satellite images confirmed by the official meeting of the American Geophysical Union, the largest gathering of international scientists in geology and space. It should be noted that the last study was the result of a considerable academic and sc

Archaeologists have found the legendary throne room of Ramses II

The Egyptian government announced the discovery of vestiges of a ceremonial hall, dating from the time of Pharaoh Ramses II, in the 13th century BC. The discovery of this throne room was held in Cairo's Matariya district of the Egyptian capital by a team of archaeologists from the Ministry of Antiquities. Besides the coronation of Ramses II, the room would also have been used for other kings of his time, reports The Egypt Independent. Ramses II, who ruled the country more than three millennia ago, was also known as Rameses the Great for extending the empire from ancient Egypt to Syria and Sudan today. He reigned nearly seventy years from 1279 to 1213 BC and is renowned for his military victories. The archaeological mission of Ain Shams University, located in the Matariya district of eastern Cairo, unveiled the first part of the excavations in April. The second part of the work has just been completed. Beetles and blocks of stone with hieroglyphic inscriptions have also bee

Will Europe soon be facing a massive volcanic eruption?

Image
Scientists have declared that the giant volcanic sites of southern Italy (Phlegraean Fields or Campi Flegrei) were huge reserves of magma as they were preparing to explode to "an indeterminate point in the future". The large Campi Flegrei volcano is made up of 24 volcanic craters and scientists have discovered that it is recovering magma as part of the "pre-blast" transition phase. Experts said no eruptions will be expected in the near future, but the volcano has shown signs of major unrest over the past 60 years. When the volcano finally erupts, its explosion will probably be similar to that of Mount Vesuvius, which destroyed the cities of Pompey and Herculaneum. The Phlegraean Fields (Campi Flegrei) are located about 14.5 km west of Naples (Napoli), one of the few active volcanoes in the world. The volcano has not exploded since 1538 but it is capable of creating a "very big" eruption. Scientists have found evidence of such an event abo

India may become the fourth country in the world to send a manned spacecraft

India may become the fourth country in the world to send a manned spacecraft by 2022, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Moody confirmed in a speech at an Independence Day ceremony ahead of general elections scheduled for early next year. Moody said his country would send the first manned space mission by 2022, which could make it the fourth country to make the move, after the United States, Russia and China. India has already launched dozens of satellites, mostly for foreign customers, as it seeks to gain a bigger share in the $ 300 billion competitive space industry. Moody's government promotes the local space program, based on the relatively low-cost technology used in it. Moody is optimistic about his country's space research program and has repeatedly praised the efforts of Indian scientists, who in 2014 carried out a low-cost task, to send a probe into orbit around Mars, and succeeded for the first time. On the other hand, in his 72-year-old speech, Moody said
