We were around a hundred miles from the Zone, and already my thoughts had turned toward death. This had nothing to do with radiation and everything to do with road safety. I was in a minibus, on a highway between Kyiv and the 1,160-square-mile Exclusion Zone around the Chernobyl power plant. The minibus was being driven at an alarming speed and in such a way that caused me to question the safety standards of the tour company I’d entrusted myself to for the next two days. It had become clear that our driver and tour guide, a man in his early 40s named Igor, was engaged in a suite of tasks that were not merely beyond the normal remit of minibus driving but in fact in direct conflict with it. He was holding a clipboard and spreadsheet on top of the steering wheel with his left hand (that he was also using to steer), while in his other hand he held a smartphone, into which he was diligently transferring data from the spreadsheet. The roughly two-hour journey from Kyiv to the Zone was, clea...

  A blockchain is a distributed database that is shared among the nodes of a computer network. As a database, a blockchain stores information electronically in digital format. Blockchains are best known for their crucial role in cryptocurrency systems, such as  Bitcoin , for maintaining a secure and decentralized record of transactions. The innovation with a blockchain is that it guarantees the fidelity and security of a record of data and generates trust without the need for a trusted third party. One key difference between a typical database and a blockchain is how the data is structured. A blockchain collects information together in groups, known as blocks, that hold sets of information. Blocks have certain storage capacities and, when filled, are closed and linked to the previously filled block, forming a chain of data known as the blockchain. All new information that follows that freshly added block is compiled into a newly formed block that will then also be added t...

It’s frightening to contemplate the possibility that any one of the mirrors you’ve looked in over the course of your life may actually have been two-way glass. It becomes even more unsettling to think that these mirrors may have been in public restrooms or changing areas. Going forward, if you’re ever in a situation where you just aren’t sure, there are a few ways to determine whether the mirror is, in fact, just a mirror, or if it’s instead a tinted window. Conduct A Fingernail Test One way to check, according to   wikiHow , is by conducting a simple “ fingernail   test.” Place your fingernail against the reflective surface in question. If there’s a gap between your   nail   and the mirror, it’s most likely a genuine mirror. But if you place your fingernail up to the mirror and it appears that your finger is directly touching the finger in the mirror, you might want to investigate further. Snopes points out that...

  Healthcare is typically divided into   different levels , as broken down by   Very Well , and some medical hospitals have extensive networks that meet these various needs. Primary Healthcare Primary care practitioners at medicals centers are our first point of contact for our run-of-the-mill health care needs. They are usually your family doctor or a nurse practitioner who treats you if you have a cold, the flu, a rash, or even a broken bone. There are also primary care practitioners who are specialists, like OB/GYNs, who provide treatment at various clinics or medical hospitals. See Also:  MRI Kuzminki Secondary Healthcare When you visit a clinic or medical center to see a primary health care professional, they may be unable to fully diagnose or treat your problem.

That secondary health care provider is ...
