Who and when taught the whole world to eat in restaurants according to the Russian system?

Until the middle of the 19th century, restaurants served all the ordered dishes at once - this way of serving is called "service à la française" ("French system"). At the beginning of the 19th century, the Russian prince Alexander Kurakin visited France and taught restaurateurs another way - to serve dishes gradually, in the order they are placed on the menu. In modern restaurants, this system is most popular and is called "service à la russe".

What is tapioca?

Tapioca is a starch cereal made from the roots of a large shrub grown in warm climates. This plant is called cassava. Its roots are one-third starch and two-thirds water, and it takes a long time to make tapioca from them.

First of all, the cassava roots are washed and cleaned from the outer shell. They are then placed in water and soaked for several days, and are sometimes cut into small pieces or pounded into a paste instead. This paste can be used directly for cooking, or it can be dried and made into flour. In the production of cassava, finely chopped roots are mixed well with clean water and this mixture is allowed to stand for a while. Grains of pure starch slowly settle to the bottom, and all the dirt remains in suspension in the water.

Then the starch is removed and poured into a new portion of water. This operation is repeated 4-5 times. When the starch is absolutely pure, it is spread evenly on a metal dish and fried over low heat. Gradually, the grains of starch, softening, begin to stick together and eventually form small balls - grits. The resulting product is called tapioca.

Most of the tapioca in Europe and the United States is brought from the island of Java, Madagascar and Brazil. In Europe and the United States, tapioca is made into puddings or added to soups and sauces. However, in South America and Africa, it is consumed as a paste or dry flour.

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 ... >>

Matching transformer BALF-SPI2-02D3 09.03.2019

The matching transformer BALF-SPI2-02D3 (balun) from STMicroelectronics allows you to significantly simplify the connection of the antenna to the S2-LP transceiver. The balun replaces a large number of LC matching elements, reduces board space and simplifies the logistics of electronic components.

In addition to bringing the complex impedance of the transceiver to a standard 50 ohms, the BALF-SPI2-02D3 balun contains a built-in filter, which increases the resistance to interference during reception and attenuates out-of-band emissions during transmission (more than 52 dB for 2fo).

BALF-SPI2-02D3 is made according to the original STMicroelectronics technology on a glass substrate and operates in an extended temperature range from -40°C to +105°C.

Features of BALF-SPI2-02D3:

50 ohm active nominal output;
matched for S2-LP TXRX at 433 MHz;
low insertion loss;
good phase and amplitude matching;
small dimensions 1,55x2,1 mm;
low profile;
high RF performance.
