Which Koreans are ordered to go to a restaurant on April 14 and eat black noodles?

In Japan and South Korea, the celebration of February 14 differs from the customs in Western countries. On this day, only women give gifts to men, and in the vast majority of cases they give chocolate. In the 1980s, the Japan Pastry Association successfully launched a new holiday on March 14, the so-called "White Day", when return gifts are expected from men, and they must be more valuable than received a month ago. In addition to these dates, Koreans have come up with "Black Day" on April 14, when both men and women who have not received gifts go to a restaurant and eat black noodles as a sign of mourning for their loneliness.

Why did the ancient Romans always abbreviate names when writing names?

The Romans had few personal names - about 70, of which about 20 were actually used. In the record, they were reduced to 1-3 letters. For example, the name Publius was abbreviated to P., since there were no other common names for this letter, and everyone understood what was meant.

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 ... >>

Hypersonic missiles instead of drilling rigs 18.08.2015

Geothermal energy has served mankind since time immemorial. As far back as ancient Rome, hot springs were used for public baths and floor heating, and in the 12th century, France built the first central heating system using natural heat. Around 000 MW of geothermal electricity are currently generated worldwide, with an additional 28 GW used for heating, spas, industrial processes, desalination, and more.

However, in order to release steam from underground, wells several kilometers deep are needed, each of which costs from $5 million to $20 million, depending on the depth. A much cheaper, albeit untested, method was proposed by the American company HyperSciences. Its founder, Mark Russell, has received a patent for drilling holes in the earth's crust by bombarding it with hypersonic missiles.

A rocket with a special abrasive core is installed in an accelerator based on a ramjet engine, which serves both as a chamber and as the barrel of this "gun". Gas is injected into the accelerator, which ignites and creates high pressure in the chamber with the rocket, which allows it to fly out at a speed of 2 km / s. This is enough, according to the author, to crush any rock, the remains of which are then sucked out of the well. For greater efficiency, the author suggests using installations of several accelerators.

The design of the rocket itself is described in the patent in very general terms, but the author suggests that it can be equipped with a plastic explosive tip to increase drilling intensity. Temperature and depth sensors can also be placed there.

The lack of details hasn't stopped Russell from getting $1 million in grants from oil company Shell through the GameChanger program, which funds even the most fantastic projects that could affect energy production in the future.
