What language do gypsies speak?

Do you know why some people are called gypsies? Many years ago, the inhabitants of Europe thought that they originally came from Egypt, and the word "gypsies" came from the word "Egypt". It is believed that about a thousand years ago, several tribes from northwestern India migrated to other countries, and these were real gypsies. Some of these tribes reached Persia, others wandered the lands where Turkey is now located, and only a few went to Syria, Egypt and North Africa. And since they really came from India, they spoke the Indian language, which is related to Sanskrit.

Later, the Gypsy tribes roamed the Balkans, Russia, Hungary, and then eventually ended up in Western Europe, including Germany, France, England, Spain, and even Sweden and Finland. Over centuries of wandering, the gypsy language mixed with words borrowed from the languages of the countries where the gypsies lived. The English gypsies speak a broken language which is a mixture of gypsy and English words.

In English, the Romani language is called "Romani". In the same language, the name of a gypsy motorhome is "vardo". Gypsies were engaged in professions that allowed them to roam the land. Some gypsies were wood carvers, others mended pots, some were poets and singers or fortune tellers.

It is interesting to learn how the Roma in individual countries developed in different directions. English gypsies became horse traders. In Wales, gypsies are singers, violinists and harpists. Spanish gypsies are known to be excellent flamenco dancers. In Hungary and Romania, many gypsies are musicians. In Yugoslavia, many gypsies are engaged in the production of gunpowder.

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 ... >>

DC-DC converter SPB05 5W in SIP package 11.07.2015

Mean Well has developed a new series of 5W DC-DC converters with output voltage stabilization - SPB05. The uniqueness of the series is the "packaging" of 5 watts of power in the SIP-8 package. As a rule, DC-DC converters with the specified power are already manufactured in a DIP-24 package. A feature of the SIP-8 package compared to the DIP-24 is a significantly smaller footprint on the board (about 1/3).

The SPB05 series converters have a 2:1 wide input voltage range, 1500 V input-output dielectric strength, short circuit and overload protection, remote On-Off capability and are operable in a wide temperature range of -40°C...+80°C.

The new SPB05 series of converters is designed for a variety of industrial and telecommunication applications, as well as for any other application that requires compact size and increased power over a wide temperature range.

Main technical parameters of SPB05 series:

- output power: 5 W;
- case type: SIP-8;
- dielectric strength of insulation: 1500 V;
- output voltage from the series: 5, 12, 15 V;
- input voltage range from a range: 9-18, 18-36, 36-72 V;
- protection against short circuit and overload.
