Why is an area in France called Normandy?

The beginning of the "Viking era", or, as they were called in those days, the Normans, most likely, should be attributed to the end of the XNUMXth century AD. It was at this time from the fjords of Norway and the bays of Denmark that these desperate sailors set off on their first predatory campaigns. The Vikings were the first to cross the Atlantic and established colonies in Iceland and Greenland. In the XNUMXth century, they reached the southern cities of France and the shores of sunny Italy.

In 885, the Norman army captured Rouen and laid siege to Paris. This was not the first siege of this city, so the Parisians, remembering the bitter experience of the past, preferred to pay off the conquerors. The Vikings, being "out of work", moved to the northwestern part of France, where many of them chose to stay permanently. The French king Charles III was forced to leave the territories captured by the Vikings at their mercy. In 911, he granted the Norwegian Rollo a whole province, which still retains the name Normandy.

The Normans were by far the best shipbuilders in Northern Europe. They sailed on boats, which we know about thanks to the Viking custom of burying the dead on ships.

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 ... >>

Apple will build a solar power plant 11.02.2015

Apple CEO Tim Cook announced the company's intention to invest $850 million in the construction of a solar power plant in California, which is being led by solar panel manufacturer First Solar. According to the project, the power plant will provide energy for 60000 residential buildings and a future Apple office near Cupertino.

"At Apple, we know climate change is real. The time for talk is over," Cook said. "It's time for action."

Arizona-based First Solar makes solar panels and builds solar power plants, selling many of them to electricity suppliers.

Construction of the nearly 12 km2 power plant, financed by Apple, will begin in the middle of this year and should be completed by the end of next year.

The capacity of the power plant will be 280 MW. Apple will receive 130 MW over 25 years (by the way, this is the industry's largest contract for the purchase of solar electricity by the end consumer). The remaining 150 MW is being bought by the electricity supplier Pacific Gas and Electric.
