Why is one of Simon and Garfunkel's songs listed as 2:74?

In 1967, Simon and Garfunkel recorded the single "Fakin' It" at 3 minutes and 14 seconds. But since at the time most American radio stations refused to play songs longer than three minutes, the time on the record was listed as 2:74.

What is botulism?

Botulism is a form of food poisoning. It occurs when we eat food containing a poison produced by bacteria. In botulism, it is the poison of the bacterium Clostridum botulinum. The disease usually occurs as a result of eating poorly prepared home-made canned food. The word "botulism" comes from the Latin word meaning "sausage" because most cases of poisoning have been caused by undercooked sausages.

A person with botulism may experience nausea, vomiting, muscle paralysis may occur, and it becomes difficult to look, speak, and swallow. There may be diaphragmatic paralysis, an artificial lung becomes necessary to keep him alive. The bacteria that causes botulism may or may not have a noticeable odor. This also applies to taste. This means that in the absence of smell in home canned food, one cannot yet conclude that these bacteria cannot be there. Homemade canned food can only be consumed after careful processing.

Fruits and vegetables should be thoroughly washed before canning. Meat, fish and game should be steamed under pressure before canning. If canned food was prepared in a different way, they must be boiled before use. If the canned food smells when you open it, you don’t even need to try it.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

You can follow the growth of mountains by the leaves of plants 04.04.2005

Geologists have long understood how mountains grow: either due to volcanic activity, when lava pours out of the bowels, or due to folding, when two continental plates collide. But how to measure the speed at which mountains grew?

American geologist Jennifer McIlwain drew attention to a pattern known to botanists: the lower the carbon dioxide content in the air, the more microscopic holes on the leaves of plants - stomata, through which the plant absorbs this gas. And the carbon dioxide content decreases with height.

Having calculated the density of stomata placement on the leaves of modern plants from different heights, the researcher revealed a correlation between these factors. The leaves of the Californian black oak, which grows at altitudes from 60 to 2440 meters above sea level, were used to calibrate the altitude scale.

To determine the growth rate of mountains, stomata are counted on leaf fossils preserved in different rock strata. This method of determining the height gives an error of no more than 300 meters and is suitable for a period up to 65 million years ago. It can be used in all regions of the Earth.
