Who inspired his future savior to work in the special services?

Jerry Parr became interested in a career in the US Secret Service as a boy after the release of the movie Code of Intelligence starring Ronald Reagan. It was Parr, as a member of the Secret Service, who saved President Reagan's life during the 1981 assassination attempt by quickly shoving him into a limousine after the shooting started and ordering the driver to go to the hospital.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Do elephants remember everything?

For centuries, various legends have been circulating about animals, and often people believe in them. One such legend says that elephants never forget anything.

Elephants do have a good memory, probably stronger than other animals. There are many cases when elephants remembered people who harmed them, and took revenge on them even many years later. But still there is no doubt that elephants cannot remember everything.

Just think how difficult it is to tame and train a wild elephant. The trainer sometimes has to be cruel, hitting the animal and forcing the elephant to do what he does not want to do. But since the elephant "forgets nothing", he is not amenable to training, but will constantly attack his trainer.

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 ... >>

Tsunami waves rise to the sky 04.01.2011

As discovered by geophysicists from the Paris University. Diderot, a tsunami wave, passing through the ocean, causes high above itself, in the ionosphere, changes in the concentration of electrons.

Satellite measurements have shown that this electron wave travels at the same speed and in the same direction as the ocean wave below it. The phenomenon was observed during three Pacific tsunamis caused by earthquakes: 2006 in the Kuril region, 2009 in Samoa and 2010 in Chile.
