Did any of the European rulers wear a yellow star as a sign of solidarity with the Jews?

After the occupation of Denmark by the Nazis, King Christian X remained in the country, becoming a symbol of Danish resistance. He rode daily through the streets of Copenhagen without guards, and also allegedly wore a yellow Star of David on his clothes as a sign of solidarity with the Jews. In fact, there was no second one, since it was in Denmark that the Nazis never issued such an order regarding the Jews. But from the later published diaries of the king it is clear that in the event of an order, he intended to hang a star on himself and agitate all Danes to follow his example.

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 ... >>

black tomatoes 15.05.2009

English geneticists from the Center for Biotechnology in Norwich, having introduced the snapdragon gene to tomatoes, bred a variety of almost black color. It is rich in anthocyanins - dark plant pigments, which are abundant, for example, in blueberries, black grapes, blackberries, black currants.

These substances, which neutralize the destructive effect of free radicals, have anti-inflammatory properties, improve vision, significantly slow down the growth of certain tumors, and protect against cardiovascular diseases.

Experiments on mice of a special line, often suffering from cancer, showed that eating ordinary tomatoes extended the life of sick mice from 142 days to 146, and mice that ate black tomatoes lived an average of 182 days. Normal healthy laboratory mice live up to 211 days, and when consuming black tomatoes, up to 260.
