Why was a newspaper published in which almost all the words were replaced by bla bla bla?

On November 26, 2014, ahead of the final of the Brazilian Cup between Cruzeiro and Atlético Mineiro, the newspaper "Estado de Minas" came out with a big announcement of the event on the front page. There were other news items with photographs in the newspaper, but they did not print all the words not related to football, placing lines from "blá blá blá" instead.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

What disease do British doctors have to deal with most often?

a) colds.
b) Ear infections.
c) depression.
d) Sleep disorders.

The most common disease that British doctors have to deal with is depression, which is the fourth most common disease in the world - after pneumonia/bronchitis, diarrhea and HIV/AIDS (WHO, 1999).

According to doctors, every year up to 10% of women and 3-5% of men suffer from clinical (that is, severe) depression.

Approximately 3,2 million people in Britain (7%) are diagnosed with clinical depression, and every day the situation is getting worse and worse. Between 1990 and 2000, the number of prescriptions for all kinds of antidepressant drugs issued by doctors in the United Kingdom rose by more than ten million.

According to experts, depression costs the British economy £8 billion a year - through sick leave, medical costs, suicide and lost productivity - the equivalent of £160 a year for every man, woman and child.

And it's not just the climate or inherent British miserabilism: at one time or another, up to 25 million Americans (9%) suffer from clinical depression. In Australia, even children as young as five are treated for depression.

In Bangladesh, the most common disease is without a doubt diarrhoea, followed by worms. At the same time, depression (especially among women) is quite widespread - about 3% of the country's population suffers from it.

In Africa, where HIV and malaria are the first and second most common diseases, depression ranks eleventh. In most Third World countries, which are culturally highly suspicious of insanity, depression is difficult to diagnose and, unlike in Western countries, the symptoms are more physical than mental.

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 ... >>

Rebirth of the Woolly Mammoth 11.12.2023

Researchers from Colossal Sciences have made breakthroughs, finding 99,6% genetic similarity between woolly mammoths and Asian elephants. This discovery encourages the use of Asian elephants as surrogate mothers to revive this ancient species.

Restoring woolly mammoths is not just a scientific fantasy, but a serious research project that requires not only innovative cloning technologies, but also careful management of their new environment. Partnerships with elephant conservation organizations highlight not only the scientific significance, but also the importance of this endeavor in the context of ecosystem conservation and biodiversity maintenance. If successful, this could open a new chapter in the history of endangered species conservation and represent an important step in the understanding and application of modern technologies in conservation.

The researchers' plans include transplanting mammoth embryos into Asian elephants in 2026, with hopes of delivering the first baby mammoth in 2028 after a 22-month gestation period.

Once born, the baby mammoths will be transported to vast habitats in areas above the Arctic Circle, starting in Alaska and Canada. The first generations will live in controlled conditions, under the supervision of caring teams. When the mammoths grow up and become independent, they will be moved to a more “wild” environment.

Colossal Sciences, having invested many years of research and millions of dollars, says it is well ahead of the work on the revival of mammoths.

To successfully implement the project, the company has partnered with elephant conservation organizations and is conducting veterinary research to ensure that woolly mammoths are immune to the viruses that threatened their ancestors.
