In which country is free file sharing officially recognized as a religion?

In Sweden, the Missionary Church of Kopimism community is officially recognized as a religion, for members of which the sacred acts are the copying of information, the exchange of knowledge and file-sharing networks. The sacred symbols of this new religion are the key combinations Ctrl+C (copy operation) and Ctrl+V (paste).

On April 28, 2012, the first wedding took place, conducted by a Kopimist priest, whose face was covered by a Guy Fawkes mask, and whose voice was distorted by a modulator.

What is coral?

Coral is one of the most curious and amazing objects in the world! To begin with, it should be said that red corals have been valued on a par with precious stones since time immemorial. But even more interesting is the huge number of superstitions associated with coral.

The Romans hung pieces of coral around the child's neck to ward off danger. They believed that coral could prevent or cure disease. In some places in Italy, coral is still worn to protect themselves from the "evil eye". And the most amazing thing is that the coral has changed the geography of the world!

What is coral? This is the skeleton of a coral polyp, a tiny jelly-like marine organism with many small tentacles. The polyp produces a calcareous substance that makes up the skeleton, which forms in the form of a cup that surrounds the polyp from all sides. First, the polyp is attached to the surface of the rock under water, and a new polyp buds from it. When the old polyp dies, living polyps continue to remain on its skeleton, and new ones in turn bud off from them. This is how coral is formed, as more and more generations of polyps grow on the skeletons of their predecessors. So coral grows layer by layer, and from them islands and reefs are formed in the ocean. These organisms are found in warm and tropical waters.

Corals are mainly found in the South Pacific, the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean, and off the coast of Florida, Mexico, and the West Indies. The most significant coral formations are called fringing reefs, barrier reefs and atolls.

Fringing reefs are underwater coral patches attached to coastal rocks and out to the ocean. Barrier reefs are not connected to the mainland, but grow in the ocean at some distance from the coast. Atolls are ring-shaped coral islands. The Great Barrier Reef, located off the coast of Australia in the Queensland region, stretches for 1260 miles.

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 ... >>

GPS beacons for drug bottles 21.05.2014

To catch drug-addicted pharmacy robbers, the US police use all methods available today. Now, instead of a bottle of OxyContin - an opioid analgesic based on oxycodone, which has a very strong pain-relieving effect and is often used illegally by drug addicts - pacifiers with a built-in "gift" from the police will be available at points of sale.

To combat and subsequently quickly catch drugstore robbers, the New York City Police Department (NYPD) decided to supply state pharmaceutical stores with baits - fictitious bottles of OxyContin, in the lid of which a miniature GPS device is mounted. Thus, during the robbery of pharmacies by drug addicted criminals, instead of a real bottle with a drug, the robber will receive an imitation, which, although it does not contain a pill, looks no different from the package with a real drug and even makes a similar sound when shaking conditional pills. And the unsuspecting attacker himself will give out the current location for the police group to arrive at the designated place.

One of the last reported cases of successful practice of this technology was an incident at the HealthSource pharmaceutical store in New York. Then the robber demanded money and a bottle of OxyContin from the sellers. Instead of the latter, he received an analogue with the possibility of GPS-tracking the capacity. Police were able to track down 45-year-old Scott Kato, who robbed a pharmacy, 30 blocks from the crime scene, but he was shot while resisting arrest.

The use of such baits proved to be extremely effective, despite the apparent simplicity of the idea. Since their introduction, 111 drug theft suspects have been caught. Such measures, given the extreme severity of the drug trafficking problem, are a necessary and completely justified step that will deter robbers from trying to take possession of OxyContin to consume or sell the contents of a bottle at $ 80 per tablet.

The New York Times noted that this is the first such case when the police department openly informed about the use of such devices as a means of capturing a villain. This fact, according to NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly (Raymond Kelly), should restrain the zeal of criminals from the idea of easy money or the use of a prohibited drug.

The bait bottles will be produced by the same company that develops the real OxyContin.
