The hydrostatic paradox is a phenomenon in fluid mechanics where the pressure at a point in a static fluid is independent of the shape of the container but only depends on the depth of the point below the surface of the fluid. This means that the pressure at a given depth is equal in all directions, regardless of the shape of the container or the location of the point within it. The hydrostatic paradox is a fundamental principle in fluid mechanics and has important applications in engineering and physics. The hydrostatic paradox was first discovered by Blaise Pascal in 1647. He found that pressure in a fluid increases with depth and is transmitted equally in all directions. This principle was later expanded upon by Daniel Bernoulli, who developed Bernoulli’s principle, which states that as the speed of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases. The hydrostatic paradox is based on Archimedes’ principle, which states that an object immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. This principle was first described by Archimedes in his work "On Floating Bodies".  The hydrostatic paradox has important applications in engineering, particularly in hydraulic systems. According to "Fluid Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications" (Print) by Yunus A. Cengel and John M. Cimbala, hydraulic systems use fluids to transmit power from one location to another. The pressure generated by a hydraulic system is determined by the depth of the fluid and is independent of the shape of the container or the location of the point within it. The hydrostatic paradox also has important applications in physics. According to "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" by Douglas Giancoli, hydrostatic pressure is used to measure atmospheric pressure and to determine the density of objects.
Henry Russell was a French explorer born in Toulouse in 1834. He died in Biarritz in 1909 and was buried in Pau, in France.  His father was from Ireland, but his mother was from the South-West of France.  When he was 24 years old, he began to climb the Pyrenees mountains. When he got lost in the mountains in Gavarnie, he almost died because of a big storm on that night.  At the same time, he made two trips in the world: the first in North-America and the second in Russia, in China, in Australia and in India.  However when he was 27, he decided to stay in the Pyrenees until the end of his life, from 1861 to 1909. He is famous especially for the first ascents of a lot of peaks, alone or with companions.  What is the most famous aspect in his life is his love for the highest French mountain of Pyrenees called Vignemale (3293m). He climbed this peak thirty-third times, and the last time was in 1904, when he was 70 years old. He loved it so much that he wanted to become the owner of it. In 1888, he asked the prefect, who granted him a concession for 99 years. The price was 1 franc per year. Also, he dug near the top 7 caves to stay in during the summer and to invite his friends. He organized several banquets in these caves with a lot of famous people. The last cave was 'The Cave of Paradise'. It was only 18 meters under the top. Today we can still see these caves above the glacier of Vignemale.
The Yangtze giant soft-shell turtle, Hoan Kiem turtle or Red River giant soft-shell turtle ("Rafetus swinhoei") is a turtle that lives in Asia. Very few of these turtles are alive today: Human beings know about only four. It is one of the most endangered animals in the world. What was the last known female Yangtze giant soft-shell turtle died in a Suzhou zoo in China in 2019. Another female was found in Vietnam in October 2020. Scientists tested her DNA and then put her back in the lake. This leaves four turtles alive: One male turtle living in Suzhou Shangfangshan Forest Zoo, the female turtle in Dong Mo Lake in Vietnam, perhaps another one in Dong Mo Lake, and another one in Xuan Khanh Lake in Vietnam. Scientists don't know whether the Xuan Khanh lake turtle is male or female. Scientist Tim McCormack thinks the two lake turtles became trapped when people built dams on their rivers. Scientists say there might be more in other lakes and rivers. Some scientists have gone on boats to look for them. Description. This turtle is very big with a pointy noise that it can use to breathe while keeping most of its body hidden underwater. Scientists do not know much about the way it acts in the wild because there are so few left. It is the largest turtle that lives in fresh water instead of sea water. It has a long, flat body. It can weigh 150 to 220 kilograms (330 to 485 pounds). The female can lay 30 or 40 eggs at a time, more than once each year. Natural range. The Yangtze giant soft-shell turtle used to live in the Red River in China and in many parts of Vietnam in the flood plain from the Yangtze River. It became endangered because humans built roads, buildings and dams where the turtle likes to live and because of pollution. It also became endangered because people would catch the turtle to eat it and its eggs and to sell turtles as pets. Illegal hunters also catch the turtle to sell its body parts as ingredients for traditional Chinese medicine.  Mythology and legends. In Vietnamese culture, the Yangtze giant soft
