What nation has a tradition of building special huts for girls to visit?

In one of the Cambodian villages where the Kreung people live, an unusual freedom of morals reigns. Here it is customary to build a small hut for a teenage girl away from the main house, where she can meet boyfriends at night and have sex. It is believed that through experiments, the girl will make a conscious choice of her future husband, taking into account sexual compatibility. The villagers themselves note that there are no divorces in their commune.

Where is the hooligan tradition of burning a huge Christmas goat?

In the Swedish city of Gävle, a huge straw goat is installed every year, an invariable attribute of Christmas in the Scandinavian countries. And almost every year, hooligans try to burn or otherwise destroy the figure. Some vandals who are caught are fined or even subject to a small arrest, but in most cases, the city's attempts to counter the disorderly conduct, including hiring security guards and installing webcams, are futile. Since 1966, only 45% of goats have survived.

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 ... >>

Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1 camera phone 21.09.2014

Panasonic Corporation presented the Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1 camera phone at the Photokina exhibition in Cologne. The device is based on the Android 4.4 KitKat platform and is equipped with the largest photomatrix among similar devices - 1-inch format.

The resolution of the CMOS matrix is 20 MP. A similar sensor, for example, is installed in the expensive Sony RX100 compact camera and Nikon 1 interchangeable lens cameras. For comparison, compact cameras ("soap dishes") are usually equipped with a 1/3-inch sensor. The sensor installed in the Lumix DMC-CM1 has approximately 7 times the area.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-CM1 is equipped with a Leica lens with f/2.8-10.2 aperture and a fixed focal length of 28mm. The camera is capable of shooting RAW photos and 4K video. There is the possibility of manual control of aperture, shutter speed, ISO (100-25600) and white balance. The governing body is the wheel encircling the lens of the apparatus.

The model is equipped with a 4,7-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 quad-core processor (801 GHz), 2,3 GB of RAM and 2 GB of internal memory (with support for microSD cards). There is also a front camera with a resolution of 16 MP. The battery capacity is 1,2 mAh. There is support for LTE. The thickness of the camera phone is 2600 mm, weight - 21 g.

The manufacturer plans to start selling new items in Germany and France in November 2014. The cost of the camera phone will be 900 euros.
