Why don't American theater orchestras play the national march?

The Stars and Stripes Forever is America's most famous patriotic march. However, in American theaters and circuses, the orchestra will never play this tune just like that. It is reserved as a distress signal for an emergency, such as a fire, so that staff can begin evacuating spectators without panic.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

What is inflation?

First of all, inflation is an increase in prices. All people, including businessmen and members of the government, are buyers. What they acquire is called goods and services. During inflation, people spend money faster than they produce goods. This is a period when a large amount of money can buy a small amount of goods. During inflation, money is worth little. Even if you know the causes of inflation, you cannot prevent it.

Sometimes the government is blamed for inflation for excessive spending. Businessmen and trade unions are sometimes blamed for it. Even families are blamed for increased needs. Often inflation is caused by war. In inflation, the constant rise in prices reduces the quantity of what money can buy. Then people rush to buy before money depreciates and prices go up. And businessmen think that the demand for their products has increased. Therefore, they invest in new production, equipment, factories.

This requires additional manpower. People get a lot of income, but they spend it right there. Businessmen see that their goods are selling well and borrow money to expand their business. Creditors (those who lend money), pensioners and those who have a fixed salary suffer the most from inflation. Before establishing control over inflation, the government must identify its causes. If this fails, control will not be established and the problem will remain unresolved.

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 ... >>

Anesthesia works the same way on plants as it does on people. 18.12.2017

An international team of scientists has exposed the bashful mimosa to ether - when touched, it quickly presses the leaves to the stem. However, after treatment with ether, the leaves remained motionless for almost seven hours. A similar result was shown by a solution of lidocaine.

Other plants known for their mobility - such as the Venus flytrap - also lost their sensitivity after being treated with anesthetics. However, the flycatcher regained the ability to feel touch after 15 minutes.

Scientists believe that anesthetics inhibit the action potential of cells - a wave of excitation moving along the membrane of a living cell - thus preventing the transmission of electrical impulses.

The similarity of the response to anesthesia in plants and animals will allow the use of plants as a model organism for research on anesthetic drugs, the researchers say.
