Which hockey player received a prison sentence for a fight on the court?

Fighting in hockey has long been a part of the game and a spectacle for the fans. However, fights on the court can result in punishment for hockey players not only in the form of penalty minutes or disqualification. In 1988, Minnesota player Dino Sissarelli hit an opponent twice in the head with a club, and then added a hand to the face. A trial was held that recognized this episode as an attack, and sentenced Sissarelli to one day in prison and a fine of 1000 Canadian dollars.

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 ... >>

On the trail of chocolate 19.08.2007

Curious studies of the sense of smell in humans were conducted by Jess Porter, a graduate student at the University of Berkeley (USA).

She asked 32 undergraduate students to follow a 10-meter zigzag path with a chocolate-scented liquid on the grass of a lawn using their sense of smell. To ensure that the experimental subjects were not distracted by anything, they were blindfolded and their ears were plugged, leaving only the sense of smell. It turned out that two-thirds of the students, moving their noses from side to side, are able to complete the route in XNUMX minutes. After choosing four test subjects, they began to train them on the same exercise three times a day.

It turned out that the results are significantly improved with training. The possibility of "stereoscopic" sense of smell in humans (it is known in rats) was studied on 14 volunteers. With one nostril plugged, only a third made it to the end of the trail, and they did it 26% slower than with two nostrils.

The general conclusion: of course, the human sense of smell lags behind the canine, but it is much better than it is commonly thought, and lends itself to development.
