Who and when used pop music to convey a message in Morse code?

A large number of Colombian soldiers and policemen have been taken prisoner and are being held in rebel camps. Some of them have been imprisoned for over ten years and do not have access to the news. However, as a rule, they are not forbidden to listen to music radio stations, which government forces took advantage of in 2011. They enlisted popular musicians to create a hit, which included a message in Morse code, telling about how many people the military had already managed to rescue from captivity, and urging them not to lose hope. The song was in rotation on most Colombian radio stations for two months.

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 ... >>

From now on, all Hollywood studios support Blu-ray 24.01.2008

Paramount Pictures has said it will support the Blu-ray format, according to Reuters.

On Wednesday, February 20, company officials told The Hollywood Reporter, "We are excited to see the industry move towards a single high definition format that we believe is in the best interest of consumers. We are looking forward to launching our films on Blu-Gow discs, we will study the demand and plan our plans accordingly."

The other day the transition to the Blu-ray format was announced by the film studio Universal. The turning point in the high-definition format war, which lasted several years, was the decision of Warner, which announced its intention in May 2008 to completely stop releasing movies on HD DVD and switch to Blu-ray. After that, only two of the seven largest film studios remained HD DVD supporters: Universal and Paramount.

Thus, now the Blu-ray format is supported by all major studios: Walt Disney, 20th Century Fox, MGM, Sony Pictures, Warner Bros., Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures.
