Miyazaki or Red Mango or Egg of the Sun or Suryadim: The most expensive mango in the world is cultivated in Bangladesh

'Miyazaki' or 'Red Mango' or 'Egg of the Sun' or 'Suryadim' : The most expensive mango in the world is cultivated in Bangladesh. 

Khagrachari, a hill district in the southern part of Bangladesh, is cultivating the most expensive mango in the world, which is being sold at Rs 800 to Rs 1,000 per kg in the retail market.

This mango is sold in different countries of the world for ₹5000-₹6000/kg in the retail market.

Where the price of mango in the market of Bangladesh is 40 to 100 rupees per kg depending on the variety and quality.

This expensive mango is not a variety of Bangladesh. Agriculture officials said the mango was a Japanese species. However, it is being cultivated in different countries.

In Japanese, mango is called 'miyazaki'. It is also known as 'Red Mango' or 'Egg of the Sun' in the world market. However in Bengal, this mango is known as "Suryadim".

The shape of this mango is bigger and taller than normal mango, sweet in taste and a color in a mixture of dark red or red-purple to see the outer covering of the mango.

Each and every mango weighs 350 to 450 grams, according to agriculture officials.

As such, the price of each mango in the market of Bangladesh is 400 to 500 rupees.

The price of mango is so high mainly due to low supply as per the demand, sweet taste, different colors and cultivation methods.

Happy World Ocean Day!

One Ocean, One Climate, One Future – Together

The Ocean: Life and livelihoods

The ocean covers over 70% of the planet. It is our life source, supporting humanity’s sustenance and that of every other living organism on the earth.

“No water, no life. No blue, no green”. — Sylvia Earle 

The ocean produces at least 50% of the planet’s oxygen, it is home to most of earth’s biodiversity, and it is the main source of protein for more than a billion people around the world. Not to mention, the ocean is key to our economy with an estimated 40 million people being employed by ocean-based industries by the year 2030.

Even though all its own benefits, the ocean is now in need of support.

"Being out there in the ocean, God’s creation, it’s like a gift he has given us to enjoy". - Bethany Hamilton

With 90% of big fish populations depleted, and 50% of coral reefs destroyed, we are taking more from the ocean than can be replenished. To protect and preserve the ocean and all it sustains, we must create a new balance, rooted in true understanding of the ocean and how humanity relates to it. We must build a connection to the ocean that is inclusive, innovative, and informed by lessons from the past.

"To me, the sea is a continual miracle; The fishes that swim–the rocks–the motion of the waves–the ships, with men in them. What stranger miracles are there?" - Walt Whitman 

“The Ocean: Life and Livelihoods” is the theme for World Oceans Day 2021, as well as a declaration of intentions that launches a decade of challenges to get the Sustainable Development Goal 14, “Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources”, by 2030. 

A second fully virtual event and a decade for Oceanographic Science

World Oceans Day reminds every one of the major role the oceans have in everyday life. They are the lungs of our Planet and a major source of food and medicine and a critical part of the biosphere

“We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop” - Mother Teresa 

The purpose of the Day is to inform the public of the impact of human actions on the ocean, develop a worldwide movement of citizens for the ocean, and mobilize and unite the world’s population on a project for the sustainable management of the world's ocean

The second fully virtual celebration of United Nations World Oceans Day, on 8 June 2021, will highlight the theme of The Ocean: Life and Livelihoods. 

Here are a few messages and quotes to share to create awareness on World Oceans Day 2021:

“One drop of water helps to swell the ocean, none are too small, too feeble, too poor to be of service. Think of this and act”. — Hannah More 

"For each of us, then, the challenge and opportunity is to cherish all life as the gift it is, envision it whole, seek to know it truly, and undertake—with our minds, hearts, and hands—to restore its abundance. It is said that where there’s life there’s hope, and so no place can inspire us with more hopefulness than that great, life-making sea—that singular, wondrous ocean covering the blue planet”. — Carl Safina 

Each and every drop of water has the power to swell the heart of the ocean. Promise to never waste it and always value it for a better life. Warm wishes to you on World Oceans Day.

World Oceans Day,  is the reminder that oceans are the most beautiful and most precious creation of Almighty Creator and we must respect them and save them to make our lives happier.

What is yellow fungus? Symptoms, treatment, how is it different from black and white fungus

  What is yellow fungus? Symptoms, treatment, how is it different from black and white fungus  ?

Yellow fungus is considered dangerous than black and white fungus. so it is important to pay attention to symptoms and seek medical help when needed. 

As India battles the second wave of COVID-19 and the rising cases of black fungus and white fungus infections in several states of the country, the first case of yellow fungus, which is considered dangerous than black fungus and white fungus, has been reported from Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh. 

The yellow fungus disease can be fatal as it starts internally and a person needs to seek immediate medical assistance if they have any symptoms of yellow fungus, minor or major. 

Symptoms of Yellow Fungus 

Symptoms of yellow fungus are laziness, loss of appetite, or no appetite at all, and severe weight loss. In serious cases, the yellow fungus can also cause leakage of 'pus' and slow healing of the open wound as well as all other wounds. Malnutrition and organ failure and sunken eyes due to eventual necrosis are also major symptoms of the deadly virus.  

Causes of Yellow Fungus 

The causes behind yellow fungus can range from high humidity to old food, however, the primary cause is said to be poor hygiene. Getting rid of old food, proper disposal of feces can block the bacteria and fungus from growing. 

Treatment of Yellow Fungus 

If medical help is taken on time, the yellow fungus is treatable. Amphotericin B injection, which is an anti-fungal drug is used in the yellow fungus treatment. 

As for the patient in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, he is still undergoing treatment in the hospital. Yellow fungus is considered dangerous than black fungus and white fungus so it is important to pay attention to symptoms and seek medical help as and when needed. 

Top 10 Best Soccer Players in the World

 

Top 10 Best Soccer/Football Players in the World 

Contents

1. Lionel Messi

2. Cristiano Ronaldo

3. Neymar

4. Robert Lewandowski

5. Kylian Mbappé

6. Kevin De Bruyne

7. Virgil van Dijk

8. Sadio Mané

9. Riyad Mahrez

10. Erling Haaland 

Although there is no one correct answer, most of the players on this list have been objectively the best players in the world this past season. However, due to constant fluctuations in form as well as the fact : 

1. Lionel Messi

La Pulga Atómica (the Atomic Flea) has remained at the top of this list for over a decade now, and at 33, he’s still going strong. In fact, sensational stats and seasons have become second nature for him. Despite missing Barcelona’s first four games of the season due to injury, Messi is likely to win La Liga top scorer for the seventh time in his career with 22 goals so far and three games left to play. Along with those 22 goals, Messi has 20 assists in the league so far, beating his own personal record of 18 in a season and totaling 42 goal contributions in 30 league games. For any player, that’s the season of a lifetime. For Lionel Messi, that’s business as usual.

In all competitions, Messi has 27 goals and 24 assists and is hoping to lead Barcelona to its first Champions League title since its treble win in the 2014-15 season. Messi is also the most recent player to win the Ballon d’Or, just barely beating out Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk by seven points. Despite Barcelona’s managerial problems and uncertainty towards the future of the club when Messi leaves, the Argentinian forward has been playing some unstoppable and exciting soccer as per usual and recently scored his 700th career goal.

2. Cristiano Ronaldo

As long as he’s around, he’ll be up near the top of the list. Cristiano Ronaldo is 35 years old, playing in Italy for only his second year, and still racking up absurd numbers in front of goal. Ronaldo has contributed to half of all of Juventus’ goals this season with 28 goals and 6 assists in the 28 games he’s played in the league and a total of 39 goal contributions in all competitions. He is currently challenging Lazio’s Ciro Immobile for the Capocannoniere (Serie A top scorer) and has been Juventus’ star player in what looks to be a title-winning campaign. Having won the Champions League with both of his former clubs, Ronaldo will want to complete his personal treble this season when the tournament restarts in August.

What’s even more impressive is that Ronaldo is managing a goal a game in the league with less help from his teammates than he’s had in the past. Out of the 20 teams in Seria A, Juventus ranks 16th in crosses this season and 14th in both accurate crosses and assists from crosses. Ronaldo has the most headed goals in the history of soccer, so the lack of crossing ability has made a significant dent in his goal tally this season. Yet, he’s still one behind the leading scorer.

3. Neymar

Despite struggling with injury this season as well as not having played since early March due to Ligue 1’s decision to end the season early rather than restart play after lockdown, Neymar Jr. comes in third on my list. This should indicate just how incredible the Brazilian winger is when fit. In only 15 league games this season, Neymar recorded 13 goals and 6 assists. In 22 games in all competitions, those numbers increase to 18 goals and 10 assists. In his three seasons at Paris Saint-Germain, Neymar has not managed anything close to a fully fit season, but his world-class ability is as clear as day whenever he’s on the field. The only reasons that Neymar hasn’t won the Ballon d’Or are Messi, Ronaldo, and injuries. Without those three factors, Neymar would easily be a contender, if not a shoo-in, for the best player of all time.

Besides the Ballon d’Or, Neymar’s next objective is to win the Champions League with PSG. Into the quarterfinals of the tournament after beating Borussia Dortmund on aggregate in the Round of 16, Neymar will be fit and hungry for the title.

4. Robert Lewandowski

bayern Munich’s world-class frontman just finished his sixth season with the club and his tenth season in the Bundesliga altogether, helping Bayern win its 8th title in a row. And at 31, Robert Lewandowski had his best season yet. Lewandowski secured Bundesliga’s top scorer award for the fifth time with 34 goals in the 31 matches he appeared in. He only failed to score in six games the entire season, recording seven braces and one hat trick. He also managed 51 goals and 6 assists in 43 games in all competitions, including two in the DFB Pokal final that Bayern recently won. Those numbers will likely increase in August as well when the Champions League resumes in Lisbon, as Lewandowski has scored in every Champions League game he’s featured in so far this season.

After such an incredible season, Robert Lewandowski is well in the conversation for the 2020 Ballon d’Or. In fact, the decision could turn out to be somewhat simple if Lewandowski can continue his incredible form and, in turn, help Bayern Munich win the Champions League and become the second-ever European side to win a continental treble twice. This looks well within reach for the Polish international, as Bayern Munich are widely considered to be favorites to lift the trophy.

5. Kylian Mbappé

 Mbappé only falls short of Lewandowski on my list due to his youth and the fact that he hasn’t played since March. However, in a few years, the French 21-year-old could very well be at the top of this list, for his stats and ability are absolutely and objectively outstanding. Already a World Cup winner with a goal in the final and a four-time Ligue 1 winner, Mbappé’s trophy cabinet will only continue to expand. Slightly hampered by injury this season, Mbappé still scored 18 goals and made 7 assists in the 20 league games he played. In all competitions, he managed 47 combined goals and assists in 33 games. These are Messi numbers. These are Ronaldo numbers. These are Mbappé’s numbers.

Unfortunately, due to Ligue 1’s abrupt ending, Mbappé will most likely be an outsider for the 2020 Ballon d’Or. However, if he can win his and PSG’s first-ever Champions League title in August, with help from Neymar, of course, he could jump right back into the conversation.

6. Kevin De Bruyne

Another player who could easily end up challenging for the Ballon d’Or at the end of the year is Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian midfielder is absolutely world-class. He is easily the best midfielder in England, and his vision and passing ability are off the charts. De Bruyne has 11 goals and 18 assists in the Premier League this season, and with four games left to play, could very well be the player to finally break Thierry Henry’s Premier League record of 20 assists in a season.

Having conceded the Premier League title to Liverpool this season, Pep Guardiola’s dominant Manchester City team will want to prove itself when the Champions League resumes in August, and Kevin De Bruyne will be a major factor in whether or not City can finally lift the trophy that the team has so coveted.

7. Virgil van Dijk

 Dutch defender signed for Liverpool from Southampton in January of 2018 and has since become one of the best Premier League defenders of all time. One of the most important players in an excellent championship-winning side, Virgil van Dijk finished just behind Lionel Messi in the 2019 Ballon d’Or rankings, almost becoming the first defender since Italian center-back Fabio Cannavaro in 2006 to win the award. He did, however, win UEFA Men’s Player of the Year. In the Premier League last season, van Dijk conceded only 22 goals, kept 20 clean sheets, had a 74% tackle success rate, and recorded the second-most number of passes, earning himself the title of Premier League Player of the Year. Liverpool only lost once in the league and ended the season in second with 97 points, one point behind the team that beat them, Manchester City. Liverpool did, however, win the Champions League and have since won the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup. In all competitions, van Dijk was only dribbled past once the entire season.

This season, van Dijk has led Liverpool to its first Premier League title in 30 years. Although he hasn’t had as incredible a season as last year, he still has the most passes in the Premier League and has helped Liverpool hold the most clean sheets in the league so far. Fortifying and commanding the Liverpool backline, he has certainly been the best defender in the world over the past two seasons and is arguably the most crucial player to Liverpool’s present success.

8. Sadio Mané

Liverpool has had one of the most threatening attacks in the world in the past few years, and Sadio Mané has been a key reason why. The Senegalese winger has been exceptional for the current English and European champions, recording 16 goals and 9 assists so far this season and winning the Premier League Golden Boot with 22 goals in the last alongside Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and teammate Mo Salah.

Despite Mo Salah’s record-breaking goalscoring campaign two seasons ago or Roberto Firmino’s technical superiority over both wingers, Sadio Mané stands out. His pace, finishing, and control are all world-class, and he has scored some incredible goals for Liverpool in the past two seasons, including a brilliant chip against Bayern Munich in the Champions League last year. Mané finished fourth for the 2019 Ballon d’Or and looks to be a challenger for the award again in 2020.

9. Riyad Mahrez

 Liverpool, it is incredibly difficult to pick out one attacking player in a side with so much talent up front and on the wings. What makes this even more difficult is that Manchester City’s squad depth forces some of the team’s best players to sit on the bench. I knew I had to include at least one Manchester City attacker, however, and between the likes of Bernardo Silva, Sergio Agüero, Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus, and even the injured Leroy Sané, I decided on the former Leicester City player and Algerian international.

Riyad Mahrez has 10 goals and 12 assists in the Premier League this season. While he is actually only the fifth Man City player to reach double digits in goals and assists this season (a Premier League record, by the way), he has only started 60% of City’s matches and was benched for five of them. Mahrez’s control and first touch are absolutely extraordinary, and he would arguably make it into the starting XI of any other team in the world.

10. Erling Haaland

Erling Haaland is arguably the best teenage soccer player in the world and has quickly become of one the best strikers in the game. Although he is only 19, his numbers are too ridiculous for him to not be one of the best players in the world right now. Haaland started this season with RB Salzburg in Austria, netting 16 goals and managing 6 assists in only 14 league games as well as recording 8 goals and 1 assist in the Champions League group stage. The Norwegian forward then made the switch to Borussia Dortmund midseason and continued his incredible form with 13 goals and 3 assists in 15 Bundesliga matches. In total, Haaland has 44 goals and 10 assists this season in 40 games, and it is these astonishing numbers that bring the youngster into the top 10 right now.

Haaland certainly has a lot of time to improve and will only go on to score more goals and play for bigger clubs, but this season is not simply a breakout year. If he had won any trophies this year, the 19-year-old would indubitably be a Ballon d’Or contender. Despite being knocked out by PSG in the Champions League round of 16, Haaland scored two goals, including a magnificently powerful long-range strike. He and Mbappé, as well as a few other youngsters who were considered for this list, look to be the real deal, and both will likely be near the top of this list in a few years’ time.

Supercentenarians’ DNA Reveals Clues to Human Longevity Genetic variants linked to DNA repair appear to contribute to a longer life.

Supercentenarians’ DNA Reveals Clues to Human Longevity

Genetic variants linked to DNA repair appear to contribute to a longer life.

By KRISTIN HOUSER 14 May, 2021 05:00 PM 

By studying the genomes of people over the age of 105, an international team of researchers has identified several genetic factors that appear linked to human longevity — and they center on the body's ability to repair its own DNA.

The challenge: The world's average life expectancy is 72 years today, but many people live decades longer.

Research suggests that genetics play a role in human longevity, but we don't know precisely what it is that allows some people to live so much longer than others. 

If we can figure it out, though, we might be able to use the knowledge to combat aging, giving more people the option of living longer lives.

In their blood: For their human longevity study, the researchers sequenced the genomes of 81 semi-supercentenarians and supercentenarians (people over the ages of 105 and 110, respectively).

They then compared them to the genomes of 36 healthy people with an average age of 68.

"People in this younger age group tend to avoid many age-related diseases and therefore represent the best example of healthy aging," first author Paolo Garagnani of the University of Bologna explained in a press release.

They discovered that the people in the 105+ group were more likely than those in the younger group to have five common genetic variants linked to more efficient DNA repair.

When the researchers compared their results to a previous study involving more than 300 people over the age of 100, they saw the same variants in that group.

Collecting mutations: Those genes were all variants inherited from their parents, but DNA can change throughout our lives.

Some of those changes, known as somatic mutations, occur in specific cell lines throughout the body. Such mutations have been linked to aging, so the researchers wanted to test their participants for them, too — specifically focusing on genes where the mutations have been linked to cancer. 

DNA repair is one of the mechanisms allowing an extended lifespan in humans.

CRISTINA GIULIANI

When they did, they found that people in the older group — despite living for three or four more decades — had accumulated far fewer of the mutations than people in the younger group, for six of the seven genes tested.

What it means: The genetic variants found in the older group indicate that some people are simply born with genes that make their bodies more efficient at DNA repair, and they may be more likely to live longer.

However, the research doesn't prove why the people in the older group were less likely to accumulate somatic mutations — it may be the specific genes for DNA repair that they found, or it may be something else. Future studies are needed to tackle that question.

Still, this study suggests that the body's ability to ward off cellular damage on its own plays a key role in human longevity, potentially offering new targets for future aging research.

"Previous studies showed that DNA repair is one of the mechanisms allowing an extended lifespan across species," senior author Cristina Giuliani of the University of Bologna told New Atlas. "We showed that this is true also within humans." 

Deadly Fungi Are the Newest Emerging Microbe Threat All Over the World

 Deadly Fungi Are the Newest Emerging Microbe Threat All Over the World 

These pathogens already kill 1.6 million people every year, and we have few defenses against them 

It was the fourth week of June in 2020, and the middle of the second wave of the COVID pandemic in the U.S. Cases had passed 2.4 million; deaths from the novel coronavirus were closing in on 125,000. In his home office in Atlanta, Tom Chiller looked up from his e-mails and scrubbed his hands over his face and shaved head.

Chiller is a physician and an epidemiologist and, in normal times, a branch chief at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in charge of the section that monitors health threats from fungi such as molds and yeasts. He had put that specialty aside in March when the U.S. began to recognize the size of the threat from the new virus, when New York City went into lockdown and the CDC told almost all of its thousands of employees to work from home. Ever since, Chiller had been part of the public health agency's frustrating, stymied effort against COVID. Its employees had been working with state health departments, keeping tabs on reports of cases and deaths and what jurisdictions needed to do to stay safe.

Shrugging off exhaustion, Chiller focused on his in-box again. Buried in it was a bulletin forwarded by one of his staff that made him sit up and grit his teeth. Hospitals near Los Angeles that were handling an onslaught of COVID were reporting a new problem: Some of their patients had developed additional infections, with a fungus called Candida auris. The state had gone on high alert.
