How did the Russian prince Mstislav Vladimirovich become the ruler of the Kasogs?

Mstislav, the son of the Grand Duke of Kyiv Vladimir Svyatoslavovich and the Polotsk princess Rogneda, was planted by his father to reign in Tmutarakan (an ancient city on the Taman Peninsula). In 1022, he opposed the Kasogs, led by Prince Rededey.

The prince of Kasozh was noted for his exceptional physical strength and courage. The author of The Tale of Bygone Years talks about this clash in the following way: “And both regiments stood up against each other, and Rededya said to Mstislav:“ Why are we going to destroy the squad among ourselves? But let's go fight. And if you prevail, you will take my possessions, and my wife, and my children, and my land. If I overcome, then I will take your everything." And Mstislav answered: "So it will be." And they gathered, and Rededya said to Mstislav: "We will not fight with weapons, but with a struggle." Mstislav, because Rededya was great and strong, and Mstislav said: “O Holy Mother of God, help me! If I overcome him, I will build a church in Your name!" And saying so, he struck them on the ground, and took out a knife, and stabbed Rededya.

Mstislav's cruelty was justified: according to centuries-old custom, a defeated enemy had to die by shedding blood (Mstislav drew a knife only after his opponent was defeated in a duel with his bare hands). The land, which belonged personally to Rededa, went into the possession of Mstislav, and tribute was imposed on the rest of the Kasozhian lands. The Kasozh army became part of Mstislav's squad, recognizing as their prince a stronger and more successful warrior who won a fair duel.

The feat of Mstislav, unparalleled in the history of Russia, was sung by squad singers and the most famous of them - the legendary Boyan. Prince of Tmutarakan and Chernigov Mstislav Vladimirovich is known to descendants under the nickname Brave.

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 ... >>

Football against diabetes and hypertension 12.06.2013

Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have published the results of their sensational study - it turns out that football training improves the health of patients with type XNUMX diabetes. As a result of regular training, the work of the heart improves, blood pressure decreases and endurance to physical exertion increases. It's amazing, but doing other sports does not allow you to achieve such results.

The men who participated in the experiment, aged 37 to 60, were sick with type 23 diabetes and were able to significantly improve their health by regularly playing football in the company of friends. Scientists say that simple training games in a small area and with a small number of players are enough to get positive changes. After three months of such training, the researchers noted in patients a significant strengthening of the heart muscles and an increase in the maximum heart rate by 12%. This means that in just 10 weeks of training, the heart looked XNUMX years younger.

In addition to improving heart function, scientists noted a decrease in blood pressure. So, at the beginning of the experiment, 60% of patients had problems with high blood pressure and regularly took medication to help control the condition. However, exercise helped reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 8 mm Hg. Art. Thus, in some cases, there is no need to take medication.

Regular football training improved such an indicator as maximum oxygen consumption (MOC), which directly affects the endurance of the body. Scientists recorded an improvement in BMD by 12%, and the ability to withstand physical activity increased by 42%.

Researchers note that improving heart function and normalizing blood pressure help minimize the risk of developing other diseases that accompany diabetes.

One of the curators of the study, Professor Jens Bangsbo (Jens Bangsbo) noted that football, like no other sport, has great potential to help people with diabetes. It is especially important, he noted, that the participants in the experiment, even after the end of the study, decided to continue playing football, which means that they really feel better.
