What book by an American Jew was used by Nazi propaganda?

In the summer of 1941, Theodor Kaufmann's book "Germany Must Perish!" was published in the United States. A little-known author, a Jew by nationality, expressed in it the idea of sterilizing all Germans, and dividing the territory of Germany between neighboring states. In the Third Reich, the pamphlet was immediately widely circulated as evidence of a Jewish conspiracy, writing down Kaufman as an adviser to the American president. Many critics have pointed out that this book did more to mobilize the German population and justify the extermination of the Jews than other carefully crafted pieces of Nazi propaganda.

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 ... >>

Electronics with Nickel Cause Rash 28.07.2014

American scientists have found that nickel, which is contained in personal electronic mobile devices such as laptops, tablets and mobile phones, can be the cause of an allergic rash on the human body, especially a child, according to the medical weekly journal Pediatrics.

The report of scientists cites the case of an 11-year-old boy who developed inexplicable, and at first glance, causeless, itching and rash. It was later revealed it was an allergic reaction to the nickel contained in his iPad. As explained by the child's doctor, a dermatologist from the hospital Rady Childrens Hospital, Sharon Jacob (Sharon Jacob), such an allergic reaction is not life-threatening patients, but can cause pain and discomfort.

Nickel is one of the most allergenic metals, while it is almost indispensable in the manufacture of personal gadgets. An allergic reaction can be avoided by storing them in special cases. However, nickel is found not only in electronic devices and technology, but can also be found in jewelry, glasses, lighters.

Statistically, nickel allergies have become more frequent in recent years: in the past decade, 17% of children who were skin tested for allergies were found to be allergic to nickel, now the figure is 25%.
