Then the candle should be extinguished and three matches should be inserted into the softened part of it with sulfuric heads up:
These matches form an artificial wick.
In addition, for the trick you will need a plank or piece of cardboard measuring 9 x 12 cm with a thin layer of sulfur applied to it. It is easy to make such a board yourself by sticking several strips of sulfur separated from matchboxes on a cardboard of the right size:
The cardboard covered with sulfur and the candle should be placed in the side pocket of the jacket so that the candle wick is directed to the bottom of the pocket, and the sulfur side of the board is facing the candle:

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 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. ... >>
Random news from the Archive Named the most attractive type of woman
07.01.2018
Men more often prefer blondes than brunettes or brown-haired women. As a result of a large-scale study, specialists from the University of Augsburg in Minnesota (USA) came to this conclusion.
The researchers showed 110 male volunteers photographs of women with blonde, dark, and black hair turned back to the lens. After reviewing the pictures, most men considered younger blondes to be more attractive.
Scientists explain this choice by the fact that with age, hair often darkens, and lighter ones look younger.
Along with this, the majority of men admitted that they would rather choose a woman with dark hair or a brown-haired woman for marriage and creating a family. This time, the subjects explained their choice by the fact that they consider blondes to be somewhat frivolous.
