What is a Cabinet of Ministers?

When an important issue is discussed in the House of Commons of the British Parliament, all attention is focused on a group of people occupying the front row of seats to the right of the speaker. These people, representatives of the ruling party at a given period of time, make proposals on the policy of the government in a particular issue.

The definition of the Cabinet of Ministers (in the UK it is simply called "Cabinet") was given by Walter Boynthot: "The Cabinet is the link that connects the legislative and executive branches of government." The cabinet consists of the prime minister and a group of chief ministers who are collectively responsible for the operation of the government. In fact, the Cabinet is the leading core of the ruling party. In accordance with a law passed in 1937, the British Cabinet consists of 17 ministers, of which no more than 15 may represent the House of Commons.

Under the modern system of government, the main role in governing the country is played not by the monarch, as before, but by the Cabinet, headed by the Prime Minister. The Queen is only formally the head of state and cannot make serious independent decisions without the approval of the ministers. The British system of parliamentary government (Cabinet) has been adopted in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, as well as in many European countries.

There are twelve ministries in the United States, each headed by a secretary (minister) appointed by the president with the approval of the Senate. They are responsible for their work primarily to the President, who can appoint or remove any of them, for which he, however, requires the support of the Senate. In this case, the ministers (secretaries) act as advisers to the president on issues within their competence.

Why did the Nestle logo lose one chick in 1988?

For more than a century, the Nestle logo has featured a bird and three chicks in a nest. In 1988, during the next rebranding, the logo lost one chick. One reason for this was that by this time the average family in Western countries had two children instead of three.

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 ... >>

Liquid graphene transistor for implantation 22.02.2013

Scientists and engineers from the German Technische Universitat Munchen have developed a new type of liquid gate graphene transistor that opens up great possibilities in the implantation of electronic devices. Electrodes based on this technology can be safely implanted in the eyes, ears, spine and brain. This will allow us to treat degenerative diseases, repair failed organs, and even improve our senses, giving us "superhuman" abilities.

Today, despite numerous tests of electronic devices implanted in the human body, many problems remain in this promising area. One of the main ones is the hard silicon basis of modern electronics, which does not fit well with soft living tissues. As a result, even a slight displacement of silicon implants leads to the formation of scar tissue. In addition, the aggressive environment inside the human body quickly disables electronics.

German researchers believe that graphene is an ideal material for implantable electronics and demonstrate its biocompatibility. Graphene is a flexible and stable carbon sheet only one atom thick. In addition, the Germans demonstrated the possibility of creating graphene transistors that use natural biological fluids that surround implants as the main part (gate).

A new type of closed field effect transistor (SGFET) consists of a graphene base and a liquid electrolyte. The high mobility of charge carriers in graphene, which is enhanced at the graphene/electrolyte interface, makes it possible to create implantable devices that are far superior to all modern analogues.

Currently, scientists are testing the interaction of graphene with various cells, in particular retinal ganglion cells. Preliminary results show excellent biocompatibility.
