Why is a black cat considered a bad omen?

Today, millions of people believe that if a black cat crosses the road, bad luck will soon follow. This religious prejudice originated many thousands of years ago.

The ancient Egyptians worshiped the cat and considered it sacred. They had a goddess named Pasht, who had a cat's head. The Egyptians believed that their goddess Pasht had nine lives. This explains why many people continue to think that a cat has nine lives. When a cat died in ancient Egypt, a mummy was made.

A graveyard has been discovered containing thousands of black cat mummies! When people believed in the existence of witches, they associated the black cat with the witch. They believed that black cats were witches in disguise. Killing a cat did not mean killing a witch, since a witch could take the form of a cat nine times.

In the Middle Ages, it was believed that witches and sorcerers always used the brain of a black cat to make a mysterious potion. As a result of all these associations, the black cat has become a symbol of bad luck.

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 ... >>

Glasses with face recognition 07.02.2018

With the advent of facial recognition systems, discussions about privacy violations broke out in society. In Asia, they resumed after the Chinese police were equipped with glasses with a built-in video camera and a scanner for identification. The new equipment is being used by law enforcement officers who work on the Zhengzhou high-speed railway in Henan province.

With the help of a face-scanning system, the police have already managed to detain seven people who are associated with crime syndicates and are suspected of committing serious crimes, including murder and the slave trade. Also at the train stations were caught 26 people with fake identities.

The glasses were developed by Beijing-based LLVision Technology Co. The creators of the device said that the glasses are able to identify a criminal in 100 milliseconds. There is, of course, the possibility of error, but in general, the glasses work quite accurately. Interestingly, the database of criminals' faces is not stored in the "cloud" service of the police, but on the office smartphone of each police officer. Attackers will not be able to gain access to it and hack.

If the system detects a suspect in the crowd, it will inform the policeman about this, and he will be able to promptly arrest him. However, the Chinese public fears that these systems can be used by the authorities not only for help, but also for harm, violating privacy and human rights. For example, some Chinese believe that the US intelligence agencies can connect to police glasses and literally monitor all of China.

Meanwhile, these fears are not groundless. China is in fact working on the world's largest country-wide surveillance network. 170 million CCTV cameras have already been put into operation, and another 400 million devices will enter service over the next three years. Many of them have some semblance of artificial intelligence, including face recognition.
