Which king changed the religion of the country in order to divorce his wife?

In order to marry Anne Boleyn, King Henry VIII of England had to divorce Catherine of Aragon, but the Pope did not allow this. Then the king submitted to Parliament for approval the Act of Restriction of Appeals. This act forbade all appeals to the Pope, proclaimed the Kingdom of England an empire, and endowed the emperor with absolute power. Another act a year later made Henry VIII the supreme head of the Church of England, essentially marking the beginning of its separation from Catholicism. Subsequently, England established its own form of Christianity, endowed with both Catholic and Reformation-Protestant attributes.

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 ... >>

Nostalgia is good for the psyche 23.10.2016

American scientists have made a new discovery about the impact of nostalgia on human existence. As it turned out, this feeling can significantly improve life in the psychological aspect.

To do this, experts conducted a study in which they interviewed several hundred people. Respondents were asked to answer questions related to moments from their past lives. At the same time, scientists focused their attention on such "markers" as familiar objects, sounds and smells that can revive memories.

During the study, the experts noted that the nostalgia experienced by people contributed to strengthening relationships with other participants. According to the observations of scientists, inhaled aromas and listened to audio recordings that evoked fond memories improved the mood and general emotional background of people.

According to the researchers, nostalgia also has a positive effect on creative thinking. At the same time, scientists recommended not to indulge in nostalgic experiences while shopping. Plunging into oneself, a person begins to take his spending lightly ...
