Where did the name of footballer Jan Vennegaard of Hesselink come from?

In modern European football, the longest surname belongs to the former Dutch national team player Jan Vennegaard of Hesselink, who has now retired. This surname appeared in the 17th century, when representatives of two farming families, the Vennegors and the Hesselinks, became related. Since the families were equal in social status and wealth, it was decided to combine the two surnames into one. And not through a hyphen, but through the union "of", which in Dutch means "or".

How do we grow?

All living things grow and develop: both in shape, size, how it is made, and in its purpose and capabilities.

The most important forces that cause growth are contained within a living being from the moment of its inception. These forces are called heredity. Animals, including humans, have stages of growth and development. These include: the embryonic and uterine state, infancy, childhood, youth, maturity and old age.

In some creatures, one can hardly speak of the period of infancy. For example, there are birds that can fly as soon as they hatch. A guinea pig is able to take care of itself three days after birth. But a person is not an adult until about 20 years old.

At birth, a baby already has all the nerve cells that a person is supposed to have: cells of the brain and spinal cord and those that penetrate into all parts of his body. The development of connections between these nerve cells helps him learn to control his movements, learn about the world and behave in a way that is accepted in his society.

So, all people are very similar in their development. But there are also important differences. Both boys and girls develop, of course, along the same general path, but still each of them has his own path and his own speed of development.

In the first weeks of life, a person grows faster than ever. Even at the end of the first year of life, it develops more slowly. It grows at a moderate rate throughout childhood. Then again comes a period of intensive growth. For girls, this usually occurs at 11-13, for boys - at 12-14 years. They grow faster for a while until they reach their peak speed. Then growth slows down again until it stops altogether. This suggests that the person has reached the maximum size.

Growth in height and weight gain often occur alternately in a person. First, for some time, it develops in height, then in width. For many people, somewhere between the ages of 11 and 12, the so-called "chubby" period begins. But in the following years, they begin to catch up in growth, and fatness passes.

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 ... >>

Water from the wind 14.01.2001

The village of Chingungo in northern Chile has only 350 inhabitants. There could be more, but there is almost no water there.

Recently, 86 panels with nylon nets have been installed on the mountainside above the village. Almost every night, clouds pass over the mountain from the ocean. They rain down somewhere far beyond the mountains. But part of the water is deposited on the nets and flows into the gutter located under them. In order for one ordinary drop to appear on the network, about 10 million droplets of fog must settle.

For a successful night, one network gives up to 700 liters of water, and the entire system for a month - about 300 thousand liters. Water from the air is five times cheaper than imported water in tankers.
