Where is the Ararat Valley located?

The Ararat Valley, lying between the Arak River and the Geghama Range, can be called the heart of Armenia, the historical center of the country. In the basin, bordered by mountains from the north, is the capital of Armenia - Yerevan, an ancient and large city. Above the valley and above the city, covering half of the entire sky, rises a huge mountain - Ararat.

Ararat is located in Turkey, but it seems that Yerevan is located at its foot. The height of the mountain is 5165 meters.

According to biblical legend, the ark of the righteous Noah, whom God saved during the Flood, moored to the top of Ararat.

Where did ice cream come from?

Fifty years ago, people only ate ice cream in the summer. Now it is eaten all year round. It was invented in the East long before schoolchildren first tried ice cream in waffle cups.

Explorer Marco Polo saw people eating ice cream there. He liked this idea so much that he brought it to Italy. From there, ice cream came to France and became popular with noble people. They tried to hide the ice cream recipe from the common people. But, of course, people soon recognized the taste of this delicacy, and ice cream became popular among them. It soon spread throughout the world and even reached the United States.

The first ice cream factory began operating in Baltimore, Maryland in 1851. But the production of ice cream did not become widespread until the beginning of our century, when new refrigeration units appeared.

Ice cream consists of cream, milk or dairy products, and sometimes eggs are added to it. For taste, vanilla, chocolate, berries, nuts or fruits are added to ice cream. The recipe for regular ice cream is as follows: for 80-85% of cream or other dairy products, take 15% sugar, from 0,5 to 4,5% flavor and 0,3% stabilizer.

A small amount of stabilizer is added to make the ice cream more uniform and prevent the formation of coarse ice crystals. For this purpose, edible gelatin is usually used.

When you eat a third of a cup of vanilla ice cream, you get as much calcium, protein, and vitamin B as in half a cup of milk, and as much vitamin A as in a whole cup.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue.
