Who scored three goals at once in one match and when?

Belgian footballer Stan van den Byes scored 1995 own goals at once in the national championship match between Germinal Eckeren and Anderlecht in the 96-3 season, which is a record. Anderlecht won 3-2 without scoring on their own.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

 Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

How did the city of Nome, in Alaska, get its name?

a) by mistake.
b) To attract good luck: "nomes" - a type of Alaskan pixie.
c) In honor of the Scottish explorer Horace Nome (1814-1872).
d) According to the Eskimo greeting: "Nome pote" ("Make yourself at home").

It was a spelling mistake.

In the 1850s, a British warship sailing along the coast of Alaska noticed an unnamed spit jutting out into the sea. On a handwritten map near the tip of the cape, the ship's officer wrote: "Name?" ("Name?") When the map was copied at the Admiralty, the cartographer, who did not understand the handwriting of the officer, entered the name of the new cape as "Cape Nome" ("Cape Nome").

In 1899, the inhabitants of Nome tried to change the name of their city to Envil City, but the US Postal Service objected, citing the fact that such an initiative could create confusion with the neighboring village of Envik, and the old name remained unchanged.

As the local community's website www.nomealaska.org reminds us, "Visiting is good, but Nome is better."

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 ... >>

Anti-sleep device from Ford 08.11.2017

Almost all models of passenger cars that have come out over the past two or three years, excluding, of course, the budget segment, are equipped with some kind of electronic assistants.

The most common is a lane tracking system. Often it is combined with a system that is able to keep the car within the lane if the road is straight or the turning angle is insignificant. In addition, such systems constantly monitor that the driver's hands are on the steering wheel. First of all, this is necessary so that drivers do not abuse such assistants, because they are not autopilots at all.

In the case of trucks, the problem is different - overwork. Many accidents occur due to the fact that the trucker simply falls asleep at the wheel. Accordingly, the systems described above will not help him, since the driver's hands in such cases most often remain on the steering wheel.

Ford came up with the solution. It is very simple and does not apply directly to the car. It's a cap called the Ford SafeCap. It is equipped with sensors and gyroscopes that track head movements. And the microprocessor with the appropriate software determines whether these movements are associated with the everyday actions of the driver or whether he begins to fall asleep.
