We may be hearing, watching or reading about hacking or data stolen by hackers almost every day.

Fig 01- Laptop computer, just for illustration.

As you know, the bad things that hackers not only access to our computer to steal whatever inside our computer, but they could also control our computer networks and then prevent us to access our own computer systems.

Strangely, the hackers have specific targets, and changed over the years. Just recent weeks, hackers targeted public infrastructures.

The reasons that infrastructure companies to be targeted it is because hackers have political and even security motivated.

In addition, infrastructures are easy target because they have outdated computer systems.

Moreover, the most sectors to be targeted in recent years are following:

- Banking and financial institutions

- Healthcare organizations

- IT and Telecom

- Government and Military

- Retails

- Education and research institutes

Crisis of Chicken’s meat and Eggs – Sign 31

Our neighborhood’s little groceries sell both chicken meat and eggs with unbelievable price tag.

Fig 01- A sign of arriving of little chicks for raising

I believe the price increases by 500% for eggs and 200% for chicken meat compared to last year.

The fact that the availability stock of these two items is uncertain in recent days even in the big groceries.

We just visit the big grocery, Walmart, and found almost empty chicken meat. Out of stock for eggs.

Fig 02- Chicken eggs at a grocery

In case of eggs, there are at least three reasons:

- millions of hens are slaughtered due to bird flu.

- increasing cost of chicken’s feed

- slowing egg production due to fall and winter seasons

Fig 03- Price extremely expensive, reaches US$ 11.09 for 18 eggs

To solve this temporary problem some of my neighbors try to raise chickens

for eggs and meat at their backyard.

Fig 04- A white rooster for meat

They ordered the variety of chickens through neighborhood groceries, the chicks will arrive by next week.

The breeders include white leghorns, Rhode Island red and Buff Orphingtons (please see sign at Fig 01 above).

How about the price of eggs and chicken meat at your place?

Have you Tasted Banana Pepper? - Part 2 - Food Variety 25

You may read previous post (part 1):

- Have You ever Tasted Banana Pepper?- Part 1 -Food Variety 26

Fig 01- A Banana pepper photo taken from different angle.

I myself use this pepper as an ingredient in the many foods such as curry or mixed with other vegetables.

The taste of peppers is mild hot (heat), even tend to little bit sweet. Heat of pepper can be measured by Scorville Heat Unit (SHU).

Just for comparison, SHU of Banana pepper and Jalapeno:

- Banana peper, 500 SHU

- Jalapeno, about 5,250 SHU

Fig 02- Flowers start blooming, illustration

In term of nutritional values, the pepper has low calories. Rich in fiber, potassium and vitamins (vitamins A and C).

Peppers also contain more beta carotene than other chili. Hence, banana pepper is good for our health.

Have you ever seen or tried Banana peppers?

The 24 Hour Emergency Service - Sign 29

I know many companies or business provide “a 24 hour service.” What make me wonder is the word of “emergency.”

Fig 01- A sign for emergency service.

As far as I know, some businesses which provide a 24 hour service for their customers may include:

- IT companies

- Finance businesses

- Real estates

- Plumbing companies.

So, what is company relate to “The 24 Hour Emergency Service?”

Fig 02- Propane from AmeriGas

AmeriGas sold 15 LBS (6.8 kg) propane or Liquefie Petroleum Gas (LPG) with following price:

- refill for US$ 19.92

- LPG + a tank for US$ 54.00

Fig 03- Refill cost for propane

The company opens their self-serve small “retails” or “automatic vendors” for 24 hours a day, seven days a week (24/7).

The customers, mainly college students may call for emergency services in case no supply due to “natural disasters” such as hurricanes or tropical storms.

Do you have this kind of service in your place?

How Could Scientists Cure AIDS Patients? - Part 1 – Virus 40

Surprisingly, the first AIDS patient has been cured first time in 2007, about 16 years ago, but since then, no or very few repeats are success.

Fig 01- Great shot of HIV (credit to Imperial College London)

One the most crucial reason that It is because bone marrow transplant technique face with “harsh side effects that can last for years,” and even causes patients almost to die.

Then, number of people infected by HIV is increasing year by year worldwide:

- more than 36.9 million people recently

- at least 940 thousands death in 2017 alone.

- and the condition is the worst in developing countries.

Researchers determined to develop transplant technique and procedure with less suffer side effects.

Interestingly, the transplant included CCR5 protein which has been mutant in a donor.

We might wonder that what is CCR5 protein which has been mutant?
