At what competitions did the winner from Kazakhstan play a song from the movie Borat instead of the anthem?

In March 2012, at the international shooting tournament in Kuwait, Kazakhstani athlete Maria Dmitrienko won the first place. When she stepped on the podium at the awards ceremony, instead of the anthem of Kazakhstan, she heard a parody anthem from the movie Borat. It turned out that the organizers downloaded the song from the film by mistake, as in some search engines it is issued on request "the anthem of Kazakhstan" next to the real anthem.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Which birds fly the fastest?

In terms of cruising speed available for a long flight, swifts are the fastest birds, in terms of flight duration they are the most tireless. For example, a black swift is able to tirelessly rush through the air for several hours at an average speed of about 100 kilometers per hour. It is believed that they can reach speeds of up to 200, and the needle-tailed swift - even up to 300 kilometers per hour. For comparison: in an hour, geese fly 70-90 kilometers, swallows - 60, starlings - 70, cranes - 50, sparrows, finches, buntings - 40 kilometers.

A swift spends 17 hours a day in flight, a city swallow - 15, a barn swallow - 10, a buzzard - 4, an osprey - 2,5 hours, waders, ducks, partridges and most small songbirds that do not use flight to obtain food are in air for a total of no more than one hour a day.

Swifts gave everything to the flight, retaining a minimum of other opportunities for themselves. To be in the air, for example, a swift needs to rush from a high perch, thereby gaining a margin of speed. The swift will not always take off from the ground - the wings are too long and the legs are short.

Swifts can only crawl on a hard surface, but they do it very dexterously thanks to strong paws with strong and sharp claws. They are needed to cling to rocks and climb the walls of deep hollows.

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

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 ... >>

Folding A-bike 08.12.2006

In England, they began to produce a folding bicycle model, called the A-bike for its unfolded shape.

A car weighing 5 kilograms folds in 6 seconds, when folded (dimensions 10 by 67 by 30 cm) is packed into a backpack attached to it and does not interfere with bus, metro, train or plane passengers. Materials - aluminum, fiberglass and composites. The diameter of the wheels is 16 centimeters, so the car is only suitable for city trips on asphalt.

The weight of the rider must not exceed 85 kilograms. On a flat surface, the speed reaches 10 kilometers per hour.
