Chinese surveyors prepares for remeasuring Mt. Qomolangma

Chinese surveyors prepares for remeasuring Mt. Qomolangma. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, Chinese surveyors have conducted six rounds of scaled measurement and scientific research on Mount Qomolangma and released the height of the peak twice in 1975 and 2005, which was 8,848.13 meters and 8,844.43 meters, respectively.
This time, the team is using both traditional and modern surveying and mapping technologies such as GNSS satellite survey, precision leveling, geodimeter, snow depth radar survey, gravity survey, astronomical survey and satellite remote sensing. China’s BeiDou Navigation Satellite System and homegrown surveying equipment are applied to the measurement.

Venezuela thwarts ‘mercenary’ infiltration attempt from Colombia

https://www.rt.com/news/487673-venezuela-thwart-mercenary-infiltration-sea/?fbclid=IwAR0AGwzZ88kUspE5eyLWZIOXPCiBDz4ImIeoO9n6T6yCJSIFs3xwv_tiPI4

Venezuelan authorities say they have foiled a raid by “foreign mercenaries” trying to reach the Latin American nation by sea to launch terrorist attacks and assassinate government officials.

A group of mercenaries have tried to infiltrate Venezuela’s major port of La Guaira, located just north of the nation’s capital of Caracas, Interior Minister Nestor Reverol said in a televised address. The incident, which the minister called “an invasion by sea,” was part of preparations for another coup attempt, he added.

US Navy sails warship into Barents Sea for the first time in three decades

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/05/04/politics/us-navy-barents-sea/index.html?fbclid=IwAR0kjNowLmzFQg7KJNX8Drtv2tkXhxLEw-GFFq2Yrvlaoe88Lnm8VHSzSG4

The US Navy sailed three destroyers into the Barents Sea off Russia’s Arctic coast Monday, the first time Navy ships have operated in the area since the mid-1980s, the height of the Cold War.

The purpose of the operation was “to assert freedom of navigation and demonstrate seamless integration among allies,” US Naval Forces Europe said in a statement.
The three destroyers — USS Donald Cook, USS Porter and USS Roosevelt — were joined by a UK Royal Navy frigate, HMS Kent.
The Barents Sea is part of the Arctic Ocean and borders northern Norway and Russia. The Russian port of Murmansk, which hosts the Russian Navy’s Northern Fleet, sits on the sea.
The US Navy said it had notified Moscow of the upcoming operation on Friday “to avoid misperceptions, reduce risk, and prevent inadvertent escalation.”
US officials have consistently said that Russia has boosted its military presence in the Arctic in recent years.

“须菩提!若人言:佛说我见、人见、众生见、寿者见。须菩提!于意云何?是人解我所说义不?”“不也,世尊!是人不解如来所说义。何以故?世尊说:我见、人见、众生见、寿者见,即非我见、人见、众生见、寿者见,是名我见、人见、众生见、寿者见。”“须菩提!发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心者,于一切法,应如是知,如是见,如是信解,不生法相。须菩提!所言法相者,如来说即非法相,是名法相。”
“须菩提!若有人以满无量阿僧祗世界七宝持用布施,若有善男子、善女人发菩提心者,持于此经,乃至四句偈等,受持读诵,为人演说,其福胜彼。云何为人演说,不取于相,如如不动。何以故?”“一切有为法,如梦幻泡影,如露亦如电,应作如是观”佛说是经已,长老须菩提及诸比丘、比丘尼、优婆塞、优婆夷,一切世间、天、人、阿修罗,闻佛所说,皆大欢喜,信受奉行。
