The 12 cm thick coin has a face value of $648 million and is still legal tender.
In 2012, it ended up in the Guinness Book of World Records. It was even sent on tour to various countries in Asia and Europe, and in 2019 it was delivered to New York for a day. The purpose of the action was to PR the gold used by the Perth Mint, as the latter is traded on the exchange as part of the Perth Mint Physical Gold fund.
It is noted that tools such as endpoint encryption, in which messages are encrypted and can only be decrypted using a secret code on the user’s device, help protect user data. Hackers can try to break them, but that requires supercomputers with enormous computing power. That said, quantum computers in the future may well be capable of doing this.
Now scientists claim they have created the most efficient quantum-secure encryption proposal to date, which they have dubbed “LaV”. The researchers claim that their method, based on a verifiable random function, can secure data against the large quantum computers of the future as well as today’s supercomputers.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that the agency has approved Xolar (omalizumab), a drug that should help people with severe food allergies, particularly to foods such as milk, peanuts and seafood.
It is noted that the drug is essentially a monoclonal antibody, meaning that it contains lab-grown proteins that attach to a specific target within the human body. Xolar’s target is immunoglobulin E (IgE), a human-produced antibody that is responsible for allergic reactions.
Aloe
According to expert D. Baker, the gel in the leaves helps with sunburns, skin irritation and heals wounds of any type. The plant also improves the activity of the gastrointestinal tract.
Lavender
According to experts, this plant reduces stress and promotes relaxation. It is added to tinctures and baked goods, but Baker warns that it is important not to overdo it, otherwise the flavour will deteriorate.
It is noted that a French bulldog puppy named Tyson underwent major surgery on his lower jaw due to a malignant tumour, namely papillary squamous cell carcinoma. The decision to operate on the dog was made on the basis that there were no metastases yet, but the surgery threatened to leave the animal’s jaw with incomplete function for the rest of his life.
To the surprise of the specialists, when Tyson was brought in for a check-up eight weeks after the surgery, bone was found when the operated area was palpated. The dog underwent a CT scan, which confirmed the complete regeneration of the left half of the bulldog’s lower jaw. In addition, its function had fully recovered without the need for outside intervention.
