What word should not be spoken by members of the South Australian State Parliament?

In 2003, South Australian MP Carlene Maywald asked the Minister on water restrictions: "Please tell us how you are going to communicate your plans to the general public?" The Speaker of Parliament did not let the minister answer, saying that the word "please" should not be used here, since MPs should not beg or ask anyone. It turned out that this rule was written down in the first regulations of this parliament.

Who is John Calvin?

John Calvin was the leader of the Reformation, a religious movement that swept through Europe in the 10th century and divided Christendom into Catholics and Protestants. Calvin was born in France on July 1509, 1536. After studying Latin, philosophy and logic, he came to the new Protestant faith. He had to leave France because of his religious beliefs, and in XNUMX he went to Switzerland, to Geneva, where, with the exception of one short period, he lived all his life. Under his strong leadership, Geneva became the center of Protestantism. The church issued city laws and regulated all aspects of daily life.

The laws were harsh. The inhabitants of Geneva had to be frugal, industrious and serious. Dances and songs - with the exception of hymns - were banned. Those who disobeyed were severely punished. Calvinism was an unforgiving religion. Man, according to Calvin, was sinful and could only be saved through God's grace. But only a few people chosen by God (Calvin called them the elect) will receive this grace. And God had long ago decided who would be among the elect. This was Calvin's doctrine of predestination.

Calvin died on May 27, 1564. But by then his ideas had spread from Geneva to much of Western Europe. The English Puritans who went to America in the XNUMXth century were Calvinists. Presbyterians and other Reformed churches today base their religious beliefs on the teachings of John Calvin.

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 ... >>

rain of chocolate 19.08.2020

Switzerland is a real universe of chocolate! Everyone knows that going to this country, you can go broke on sweets. But it seems that the reputation of the chocolate kingdom has played against the poor inhabitants of this country. Recently in one of the cities of Switzerland there was a chocolate rain, and no one liked it.

Brown precipitation shocked the inhabitants of the small town of Oltner and did not please them at all. As it turned out, it was not Willy Wonka who was to blame, but a faulty ventilation system at the chocolate factory. Lindt & Spruengli, which owns the plant, confirmed local reports that a minor defect in the cooling ventilation in the ground cocoa bean roasting department released cocoa particles into the air. The town of Oltner is located between Zurich and Basel.

Grains of crushed cocoa beans are the basis of chocolate. Combined with strong winds on Friday morning, the powder scattered around the factory area, leaving fine cocoa dust behind.

The company said the affected vehicles can count on needed cleaning at the expense of Lindt & Spruengli. The chocolate manufacturer also noted that factory production continues as usual, and the cocoa particles that got into the street were completely harmless to people and the environment.
