Where does the woman live who passed her driving test on her 960th attempt?

Cha Sa Soon, 69, from South Korea, got her driver's license in 2010. She made her first attempt to pass the exams in 2005, but failed. Since then, she took the theoretical part of the exam almost every day, and she managed to overcome the minimum barrier from the 950th time. She spent 10 more attempts on the practical part.

The inflexibility of character made this woman a national heroine, and Hyundai, after the successful completion of the story, presented her with a car.

How do lobsters grow?

One of the most curious sea creatures is the lobster. It belongs to crustaceans, and among its relatives can be called crayfish, shrimp and spiny lobsters. There are three varieties of lobster. North American lobsters, found along the Atlantic coast from Labrador to North Carolina, are the largest lobsters. The next largest is the European lobster, which is found off the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean. The smallest of the lobsters is African, you can meet him in the area of the Cape of Good Hope.

The body of the lobster is protected by a hard shell, which is usually dark green in color, turning red when the crayfish is boiled. The front part of the shell is almost monolithic, and then there are seven segments, the last of which forms the tail. Lobsters have four pairs of legs for locomotion. Two pairs of them have small claws at the ends. In front, he has large claws, which rather play the role of arms rather than legs. One of them is very thick and massive and serves to crack fragile objects. The other is smaller, curved and equipped with a large number of sharp teeth. The lobster uses this claw to grab prey or an enemy.

Lobsters usually move along the bottom of the sea, balancing on the tips of their legs, designed for walking. If scared, they can make large, up to 7,5 meters, jumps in the water in the opposite direction. They rapidly move in the opposite direction, powerfully rowing with a tail equipped with blades. The female lobster lays between 5 and 100 eggs. She bears them for about ten months. All this time they are attached under her tail. As soon as the offspring is born, the mother drives them away from her, and they begin an independent life. But how does a lobster grow, having a hard shell?

A lobster molts throughout its life. This means that he sheds his shell as soon as he grows out of it. In the first year of its existence, the lobster molts from fourteen to seventeen times, but, having become older, it no longer molts more than once a year. The little lobster swims at the surface of the water for six to eight weeks, and during this period it easily becomes the prey of other creatures. If he survives, he eventually sinks to the bottom and makes his home there in shallow water.

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 ... >>

Language influences thinking from infancy 02.08.2016

Usually we think that language only reflects the features of our vision, our thoughts and feelings. But can language itself influence our thinking?

The question arises at what age the influence of language on thinking first manifests itself. And, it would seem, the answer suggests itself that this happens in childhood, when the child learns to speak. Researchers from Northwestern University agree with this point of view, but with one caveat - according to their data, language begins to influence consciousness even before a person pronounces his first word.

Nine-month-olds, who were not yet able to speak, were shown brightly colored creatures that, appearing randomly in the middle of the screen, ran either to the left or right, and then disappeared. The essence of the experiment was that the "population" of beings was designated either by one word or by two words, and in the latter case one word was intended for those who move in one direction, and the other for those who move in the other direction. These words were heard by the children watching the creatures.

Then came the turn of the second part of the experiment: multi-colored creatures again appeared in the center of the screen, and psychologists carefully watched with the help of special equipment, where the children would look. In the direction of the child's gaze, one could understand what he expected from the creature - that it would move to the left or to the right. The point here was to understand whether there was a connection between the verbal categories denoting "right" beings and "left" beings, and thinking. The connection really appeared: those children who learned two categories predicted the movement of the figures quite well; but those who heard only one name common to all, could not predict the direction of movement.

It follows that even in the process of initial language acquisition and even before a person himself learns to speak, language categories affect both our perception and the ability to work and analyze what we managed to perceive.
