NASA’s Mars Rover Opportunity mission control team announced that the rover’s computer flash memory will be formatted. This decision was taken after a series of computer resets that have been occurring with increasing frequency. Every time Opportunity has fully returned to work but those events cause loss of time and interfere with its mission activities so it was deemed necessary to try a permanent solution.
The research on the evolution of the fish that gave rise to the tetrapods gradually adapting to life on land are generally carried out by examining fossils such as the Tiktaalik roseae, a species dating back to the Devonian period, about 375 million years ago. Instead, a study published in the journal “Nature” was conducted by three scientists from McGill University in Montreal, Canada, studying modern fishhes, the gray bichir, also known as the Senegal bichir or Cuvier’s bichir (scientific name Polypterus senegalus), studying their behavior on land.

On August 24 the seventh and last season of the show “True Blood” ended.
The TV show “True Blood” is based on a series of novels written by Charlaine Harris. The story is based on the idea that vampires and other supernatural creatures exist but thanks to the creation of synthetic blood, the True Blood, vampires no longer need humans for food and came out in the open. The consequences are complex with humans who have fear of vampires and vampires who believe that coexistence with humans is impossible.
The seventh season of “True Blood” was intended to close some stories of the protagonists. My impression is that the soap opera side was prevailing and the writers basically wanted to satisfy at least some groups of fans with choices that left me puzzled.
