What is marijuana?

From time to time you will hear about people who have become addicted to marijuana. It is prohibited by law in many countries. Marijuana is made from hemp. Marijuana is not a pain reliever and is not medically recommended for medicinal use. It acts like a drug - it causes numbness. This drug is used as smoking or chewing tobacco.

Marijuana has been known to people since ancient times. In India it is called bhang, karas or ganga; in Egypt it is hashish, in North Africa it is whale, and in the Western Hemisphere this drug is most commonly referred to as marijuana. Marijuana affects the central nervous system. It has been proven that many who have been involved in crime have used marijuana in one form or another.

A person who uses marijuana may suddenly feel thirsty or hungry, or, for example, a craving for something sweet. Taking the drug may cause nausea, dizziness, or drowsiness. A person can become very irritable, suddenly feel noble or persecuted. Sometimes people become talkative and unable to control their speech, or experience fear, depression, mental confusion, or even delirium. Whoever smoked at least one cigarette with marijuana for the first time experiences an unpleasant, painful sensation at first.

Young people who want to "try" the drug, thereby make a mistake and very often then return to the destructive practice of using heroin, morphine, becoming drug addicts. Marijuana has not yet been fully studied by scientists. But without any doubt, who wants to live a healthy and happy life, he must avoid meeting with the drug.

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 ... >>

Samsung Family Hub refrigerator with Wi-Fi, cameras and screen 21.01.2016

Usually the refrigerator is in the corner and silently does its job. Samsung Family Hub with Wi-Fi, a giant display and built-in speakers, in contrast, is in the spotlight.

There have been "smart" appliances for your kitchen for some time now. Not all of them have a special meaning, but let's separate the wheat from the chaff. The "Samsung Family Hub" refrigerator is a grain of salt: the four-door, as is customary in American design, offers not only plenty of space and an ice maker, but also an abundance of entertainment features and useful applications. This is to be expected from a $5000 device.

Perhaps most notable is the 21,5-inch Full-HD touchscreen display on the right door. Under Gorilla Glass, this "oversized" tablet runs Samsung's Tizen operating system, which offers a variety of applications. So right on the fridge you can create a shopping list, pin photos, order groceries or organize a family calendar.

While you are in the kitchen cooking, you can display TV programs while listening to the sound through the built-in speakers. Those who prefer to do without images can simply listen to music.

3 cameras film your mayonnaise, tomato paste and salmon. Like the Bosch Home-Connect refrigerator, the Family Hub sends photos to your smartphone when you close the doors. This way, when you go shopping, you can see what products are missing. In addition, a dynamic label can be placed on the picture so that you always know which products are about to expire.

If there is not enough space for certain products, you can use FlexZone technology to turn one of the four zones into a refrigerator or freezer, depending on the need.
