Where could one visit the Church of St. James Bond?

In 1928, two Protestant parishes merged in Toronto: the Congregational Church on Bond Street and the Presbyterian Church on St. James Square.

The new organization was called the United Church of St. James Bond. In 2005, it ceased to exist under this name due to another merger.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

What is snow?

Snow is nothing but frozen water. However, in that case, why doesn't it look like ice? The fact is that snowflakes are actually made of small ice crystals, and because the light reflects off their many facets, the snowflakes appear white instead of transparent.

Snow is formed when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes. At first, tiny crystals appear, clean and transparent. Following the air currents, they move in the air in all directions. Gradually, these crystals "stick" to each other until there are a hundred or even more of them. When the size of the frozen ice floes is large enough, they begin to slowly sink to the ground. These accumulations of ice floes are what we call snowflakes.

Some of the ice crystals are needle-shaped, others are flat, but in any case, each of them has 6 faces. It is curious that the arrangement of snowflakes is exactly the same. However, at the same time, it is impossible to find two snowflakes with exactly the same pattern. Did you know that snow isn't always white? In many regions of the world, people have seen it red, green, blue and even black!

The reason for this variety of colors are tiny bacteria, fungi, and dust in the air that are absorbed by snowflakes as they fall to the earth's surface.

Since there are large gaps of air in the snow between individual snowflakes, it does not conduct heat well. That's why a snow "blanket" can protect plant roots from frost. The same property of snow is used by the Eskimos, who build their own dwelling from it - an igloo.

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 ... >>

Genetic engineering during a thunderstorm 08.03.2005

Moderate-intensity electrical discharges have long been used in genetic engineering to punch microscopic holes in cell membranes through which a foreign gene can enter the cell.

French geneticists from the University of Lyon suggested that a similar process can occur in nature with soil bacteria when lightning strikes the ground during a thunderstorm. Although at the point where the lightning directly strikes, bacteria certainly die, in neighboring areas, where the action of the current is weaker, they can survive and exchange genes through the pores that have opened in the shell.

Biologists have asked physicists simulating lightning strikes in the lab to shock cultures of bacteria. It turned out that the soil bacteria Pseudomonas and the laboratory strain of E. coli do take on foreign DNA when lightning strikes them.

The researchers suggest that the exchange of genes during thunderstorms may be widespread in nature. It accelerates the evolution of bacteria.
