PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian startup 1-Ring which had launched an Indiegogo campaign to support the world's first levitating camera - the Moon - has raised $81,300 in a single day.

The Moon is the first camera to feature a revolutionary stabilized 360° levitation technology and allows easy integration of modern Smart Home and legacy devices into your personal Internet of Things.

The proprietary technology used in the Moon provides for a noiseless, jerk-free and fully controllable levitation that has no equal on the consumer market. The Moobn by 1-Ring can rotate smoothly and without delay in any direction and is charged wirelessly for 24/7 uninterrupted operation.

Should the Moon by 1-Ring detect movement or noise it will automatically rotate towards it, take a snapshot or respond in a predefined way. You can also take direct control of the camera to record a video, make a snapshot or communicate two-way at any time.

YEREVAN. – Armenians are unique because they know how to live and work in different cultures, Armenian-born Russian billionaire, co-founder of the humanitarian award Aurora Ruben Vardanyan said during the Second Pan-Armenian Scientific Forum in Yerevan on November 6.

Armenians live in Shiite and Sunni cultures, Western and Eastern European, as well as Soviet and post-Soviet cultures.

“We can become unique guides among different cultures. Armenians not only easily learn different languages, but also knowing different cultures, they learn the language of mutual understanding and can act as an interpreter for people speaking the same language but not understanding each other. And, mutual understanding is extremely important in the modern world,” he said.

Construction of 8th Armenian school in France launches in Valence

The Mayor of Valence, Nicolas Daragon, attended the land blessing ceremony for a future French-Armenian daily school - the eighth in the country - in the city on Sunday, November 26.

The ceremony was officiated by Bishop Norvan Zakarian and Reverend Fathers Nareg Vartanian and Antranik Maldjian, the school's administration said in a Facebook post.

The Valence Armenian Cultural Center has embarked on the ambitious but much needed project to build the bilingual school in the city.

There are 7 Franco-Armenian schools in France ( Paris, Lyon, Marseille and Nice), but Valence is the only city with a strong Armenian community not to have a daily school, although 10% of its citizens are of Armenian origin.

After the Genocide of 1915, many Armenians took refuge in France in the 1920s, with the first several hundred Armenians being recruited by Valence employers in 1923. As of 1997, 7,500 people in Valence belonged to the Armenian community, turning it into one of the largest in France: the Armenian National Union is also based in Valence.

In the commune's Armenian quarter, a street is named after Armenia and a square is named afterFrench-Armenian poet and activist Missak Manouchian.
