How can an effective strike be organized without interrupting the production process?

At the beginning of the 20th century, a new type of strike appeared in the Italian strike. It consists in the extremely strict performance by the employees of the enterprise of their duties and rules. Since these instructions are bureaucratic in nature and do not take into account all the nuances of production activities, this form of protest leads to a significant decline in productivity. At the same time, it is practically impossible to hold the initiators accountable, because formally they act in strict accordance with the labor code.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Who discovered Australia?

In response to such a question, we still hear only two words: "Captain Cook" (although extremely rarely - in Australia itself).

Let's go in order. Let's start with the fact that Cook was not a "captain" - during the first voyage on the ship "Endever" he was in the rank of lieutenant. He was not the first European to visit the continent (the Dutch were 150 years ahead of him), and even the first Englishman to set foot on Australian soil. It was William Dampier, who in 1697 was the first to record a "great jumping animal".

Dampierre (1652-1715) - navigator, navigator, explorer, cartographer, scientific observer, pirate and corsair. Alexander Kelkirk, the prototype of the famous Robinson Crusoe, was a member of his team. Dampier circled the Earth three times and invented the first wind map. The Oxford English Dictionary lists his last name over 1000 times in articles on avocados, barbecues, breadfruit, cashews, chopsticks, the Settlement, and tortillas.

Recently, the version that the first foreign visitors to the Australian continent were the Chinese has been increasingly exaggerated. There is an archaeological find that tells of the landing of Admiral Zheng He (1371 - 1435) of the great Ming Dynasty near present-day Darwin in 1432.

If we discard the theory "Zeng He discovered the whole world", invented by Gavin Manzies, author of the sensational bestseller "1421: the year China discovered America", then the assumption is that this outstanding XNUMXth-century navigator (by the way, a Muslim and a eunuch) reached the northern shores of Australia , has a good chance of existence.

After all, Indonesian fishermen, not their own when it comes to local sea cucumbers (which they traded quite briskly with the Chinese), did so many years before the first of the Europeans.

Some of the natives living in the northern parts of the continent (in particular, the Yolngu tribe) learned from overseas visitors to fish and sail, at the same time adopting new words, tools and standard bad habits (alcohol and tobacco).

It is the Aborigines who are the "pioneers" who reached Australia more than 50 years ago. Their current generation is already twenty thousandth (compare with only eight in the case of Europeans).

This is more than enough to witness dramatic changes in the world around them. The landscape of the interior of Australia 30 years ago was lush green, filled to the brim with lakes and snow-covered mountains.

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 ... >>
