What president promised never to apologize for his country, no matter the facts?

On July 3, 1988, the USS Vincennes shot down an Iranian Airbus passenger jet while it was flying over the Persian Gulf in Iranian territorial waters. All 290 people on board were killed. The US government later stated that the cruiser's crew misidentified the aircraft as a military fighter, which also did not respond to requests, and did not apologize for the incident. George W. Bush, then vice president and running for president, repeatedly said in meetings with voters: "I will never apologize for the United States of America, no matter what the facts."

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

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 ... >>

Sweet sodas make people dumb 24.08.2022

The consumption of soft drinks has increased significantly over the past decades, mostly cola-based soft drinks.

Excessive consumption of cola-based soft drinks has been linked to a number of diseases and cognitive decline, especially memory impairment, according to a study by an international team of scientists.

In addition, diets high in sugar can contribute to insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and dyslipidemia.

So, in experimental rats, which were given cola-cola, memory and the ability to pass mazes worsened. Abnormalities in the frontal cortex and hippocampus of the brain associated with cognitive functions have been identified.

Thus, the results show that long-term consumption of soft drinks leads to memory impairment and oxidative stress. The results of the study suggest that younger children may be more susceptible to changes in soft drink behavior, but soft drinks caused changes in the oxidative system to some extent at all ages assessed.
