Who and when won gold medals in figure skating without being afraid of the break in the musical accompaniment?

At the 1973 World Figure Skating Championships, held in Czechoslovakia, in the middle of the performance of the Soviet couple Alexander Zaitsev and Irina Rodnina, the music suddenly stopped. Nevertheless, the skaters did not stop and skated the program by heart to the applause of the audience, winning gold medals.

Who Invented Cosmetics?

Cosmetics have always been needed in order to make a woman more attractive. But there have always been different ideals of beauty, so at different times, in different countries, cosmetics were different. For example, women of wild African tribes decorated themselves according to the standards of their people - for example, with a tattoo. And the Eskimo lady rubbed fats and ointments into her skin. She wore Eskimo makeup.

The first people of antiquity, whose understanding of beauty coincided with ours, were the Egyptians. They admired healthy, shiny hair. They believed that the lips should have the correct shape, and the eyebrows and eyelashes should be well defined.

They paid much attention to the correct complexion and graceful figure. Therefore, Egyptian women used cosmetics and beauty secrets that were slightly different from modern ones. They had green and black eyelash dye. They used blush and lipstick several times a day. They painted cheeks, lips, eyelids. Women applied black mascara to their eyelashes to make them appear longer.

The Egyptians used perfumery extensively. Some of them used up to 15 types of cosmetics at the same time. It was customary for Egyptians to carry a tiny perfume bottle hidden in their clothes. The next to use cosmetics were the ancient Greeks. They not only used lipstick, but began to use hair bleach products.

When the Romans conquered Greece, they brought "beauticians" with them. Those possessed the secrets of hair dyeing, special face balms, nourishing body creams, nail polish and so on. The fashion for curling hair became so popular among the Romans that even young people got curled.

Ancient Roman women made masks from special clay to make their skin smooth and clear, just like modern women do in expensive beauty salons.

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 ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Milk yarn 23.06.2012

German microbiologists have developed a method for obtaining natural polymer fiber from cow's milk. The authors do not disclose the details of the process, they only indicate that the fiber is made from casein, and only casein from cow's milk is suitable, but not from goat's or sheep's milk. No hazardous chemicals are used during production. The raw material is milk that does not meet strict German food standards.

Milk fiber is similar to silk, does not cause allergies, and thrown into a landfill is soon decomposed by bacteria. In fabrics, it can be used mixed with cotton or synthetics. At last year's Berlin Fashion Week, clothes made from milk received a gold medal.
