On the body of which king after his death tattooed words were found: Death to kings?

In March 1844, the highest dignitaries of Sweden, who were present at the ritual preparation for the burial of the body of King Charles XIV Johan, were amazed to see the above tattoo on it.

The fact is that the future king was born (in 1763) under the name of Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte in the family of a French artisan. During the wars of revolutionary France, he was promoted to the post of division commander. In the Napoleonic army, Bernadotte commanded a corps, in 1804 he became a marshal of France. Having gained popularity in Sweden by liberating Swedish prisoners captured in Holland, Bernadotte in 1810 was elected by the Swedish Riksdag as prince - heir to King Charles XIII.

The Swedes hoped that in this way they would gain the favor of Napoleon I, who would give them the opportunity to once again tear Finland away from Russia. However, neither the plans of the future subjects of Bernadotte, nor the plans of Napoleon himself regarding him came true. Although Sweden declared war on Great Britain in 1810, it secretly violated the Continental Blockade.

In 1812, during Napoleon's invasion of Russia, Sweden, contrary to the hopes of the French emperor, initially remained neutral, and in October concluded a peace treaty with Russia. In the autumn of 1813, the Swedish troops, led by Bernadotte, made a lightning-fast victorious campaign against Denmark, forcing her to sign the Peace of Kiel, according to which Denmark was obliged to break the alliance with France and actively join the war against Napoleon.

At the beginning of 1814, Bernadotte, at the head of one of the allied armies (180 thousand soldiers, including 36 thousand Russians), crossed the Rhine and invaded France. Having taken the Swedish throne in 1818 under the name of Charles XIV Johan, he sought to maintain the neutrality of Sweden, maintaining friendly relations with Russia.

The Bernadotte dynasty, founded by Charles XIV Johan, rules Sweden to this day.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>
