What literary work is wrongly attributed to Hemingway?

Hemingway is often credited with writing the shortest poignant story: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." The writer allegedly made a bet with friends that he would write a finished work of six words, and won 10 dollars from them. In fact, actual advertisements for children's shoes or strollers appeared in American newspapers long before Hemingway's writing career began. Various authors have published articles discussing such announcements, describing them as short stories, and the story of Hemingway's bet did not appear in print until the 1990s.

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 ... >>

Identification of Internet users by fingerprints 23.09.2000

Sony has announced the creation of a reliable and convenient Internet user identification technology. The new FIU-700 integrates a capacitive fingerprint scanner and a public key code generator.

Although the use of fingerprints is not new in identification technology, the device contains a fundamentally new identification scheme, since the comparison of biometric data and pre-entered fingerprints occurs directly in the device, and therefore the entered parameters do not enter the external network (they do not even enter the computer ).

The mass of the device connected via the USB port is only 35 g, dimensions are 85x54x9 mm.
