In which zoo can you see donkeys disguised as zebras?

In the Palestinian city of Gaza, there is a small zoo, almost all of whose animals are brought illegally through a tunnel on the border with Egypt.

In 2009, due to a military conflict with Israel, the zoo was badly damaged, and two zebras died of malnutrition. Having no money and no way to import new zebras, the employees put up a pair of donkeys painted with black stripes as them.

 Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

In which countries are they afraid not of Friday the 13th, but of Tuesday the 13th?

Friday the 13th is not always considered the most unlucky day of the calendar. In Greece and Spanish-speaking countries, the Tuesday that falls on the 13th is traditionally feared. And in Italy - Fridays, but on the 17th, because Italians fear the number 17 much more than 13. However, the fear of such numbers can have the opposite effect on the likelihood of misfortunes. For example, the Dutch insurance statistics center has calculated that on Friday the 13th days there are fewer accidents and insured events than on ordinary days, as people tend to be more careful or not leave the house at all.

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 ... >>

Electric bike with autopilot 20.07.2021

Huawei engineer Zhihui Jun has designed and assembled a fully functional electric bicycle prototype with autonomous driving capability.

Jun conceived the idea of ​​a self-driving e-bike after he was injured in a bicycle accident. Subsequently, he developed a vehicle with a range of high-precision sensors that can help the driver move safely in dense city traffic. There are depth sensors, LiDAR, an accelerometer and a gyroscope. The bike is equipped with two powerful brushless electric motors, one of which is responsible for steering.

The most curious in the design of the electric bike is the balance system, implemented similarly to the systems used in satellites. A set of high-precision sensors can detect even the slightest inclination and immediately send data to the control module, which, in turn, will take control of the bike's steering and prevent a fall.

The electric bike with autopilot is powered by a lithium-ion battery, the charge of which lasts for 2-3 hours.
