Which feline can be trained to hunt with a person and ride a horse?

Cheetahs are fairly easy to tame and have been helping people hunt since ancient Egypt. Cheetah hunting was widespread in the Middle Ages among the rulers of the Middle East. Predators were taught to stay on the horse behind the rider and released to pursue the prey when they approached it at an acceptable distance. Having killed the victim, the cheetah waited for the hunter and received its insides as a reward.

Where does the tribe live, in which all women deliberately lengthen their necks by 25-30 cm?

On the territory of Myanmar and Thailand, the Padaung tribe lives, which has an ancient tradition of lengthening their women's necks with brass rings. The first ring is put on a girl at 5 years old, then they are added throughout her life and can reach a total weight of 9 kg. There is a myth that the neck muscles in these women atrophy and the removal of the rings can cause suffocation. However, they are free to put on and take off the rings. X-rays showed that the neck itself in women does not change, but the shoulder girdle drops.

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

Fitness tracker Moov NOW 25.07.2015

The company Moov, whose specialists are engaged in the creation of innovative fitness gadgets, announced the start of sales of the second generation of branded wearable devices that will appeal to all those who like to keep themselves in good shape through effective sports.

The Moov NOW fitness bracelet, according to the developers, will become more than just another "smart" bracelet on the market, which will be able to determine the level of your physical activity, the number of calories burned and the distance traveled, transmitting all the collected data to a mobile device paired with the tracker. The main feature of Moov NOW is the so-called "personal trainer" function, which is ready to take on tiny wearable electronics.

It is worth starting with the fact that it is recommended to wear a fitness bracelet not only on the wrist, but also fasten it around the ankle. In the first case, Moov NOW will accurately track the movements performed during training, which involve the arms and upper body, thanks to a "3D system" of sensors that allows you to fix the current position of your body.

In the second version of operation with a mount just above the foot, the companion mobile application will be able to give advice to the bracelet user regarding running technique and the optimal distribution of loads on the legs, say, during a bike ride.

Moov NOW has five modes - walking and running, cycling, swimming, cardio training with a punching bag. "Smart" electronics, ready to give you competent and relevant tips online, will help reduce the level of injuries, track your daily activity and analyze the technique of the movements performed, monitor the quality of sleep and provide a report on the effectiveness of training. But Moov NOW, unfortunately, cannot measure the heart rate protected from moisture and water.

The autonomous operation of the gadget is provided not by a battery, but by a standard watch battery, which is capable of supporting the operation of electronics for six months. At the moment, the Moov NOW fitness tracker is available for order on the manufacturer's website at a promotional price of $60, which is 40% lower than its declared retail price.
