How many days do people rest for the New Year in different countries of the world
Historically, Russians usually rest for the first 9-10 days of the new year – quite officially. However, not all countries attach such great importance to the New Year. Let’s figure out how many days during the New Year holidays people usually rest in other countries. So, most of the countries in the modern world celebrate the New Year according to the Gregorian calendar, so almost everywhere — without exceptions! – January 1 is considered a holiday. However, for example, in China they celebrate the new Year according to the Chinese calendar, so the New Year’s Day changes every time, but it always falls between January 21 and February 21. The Chinese rest directly on the day of the holiday and two more days after it. In many countries of the world, Christmas and the New Year itself are considered days off.
The most impressive records among fish are named
On December 22, 1938, latimeria, the oldest fish on Earth and one of the living fossils, was caught near the southern coast of Africa. It was this catch that allowed scientists to “discover” latimeria and “bring it back to life”, because before that it was believed that it died out about 65 million years ago. Catching latimeria is certainly a unique story, but some fishermen can also boast of a rather unusual catch. The biggest fish caught on spinning On May 17, 2006, Martin Arostegui and Ralph Delpha caught a lemon shark weighing 174.6 kilograms on spinning near the Marquesas Islands (Florida, USA). The International Commercial Fish Association (IGFA) has officially recognized the shark as the heaviest fish ever caught in this way. This catch is also officially registered in The Guinness Book of Records. The largest catfish in the world On May 1, 2009, a local fisherman caught a giant

Botox creator Alan Scott has died
American ophthalmologist and creator of the Botox drug Alan Scott died on December 16 in California at the age of 90, the Washington Post reported, citing his daughter Alison Ferguson. According to her, the cause of death was complications of sepsis. Botox is a drug based on botulinum toxin. It is a poisonous substance produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinu, which can cause muscle paralysis and death. During the Second World War, the possibility of using botulinum toxin as a biological weapon was studied. In the 1960s, Scott researched this substance for use in ophthalmology. He suggested that the purified toxin could be used in the treatment of strabismus and blepharospasm — an involuntary contraction of the muscles around the eye that causes blinking. The hypothesis was confirmed. Scott founded the company Oculinum to produce a drug of the same name from purified botulinum toxin. In 1989, the Food and

Scientists have shown a dinosaur egg with a well-preserved embryo
Researchers have discovered and studied in detail a 72 to 66 million-year-old dinosaur embryo, surprisingly well preserved inside a fossilized egg. According to experts from China, the UK and In Canada, this finding sheds light on the relationship between the behavior of modern birds and dinosaurs. The embryo, dubbed Baby Yingliang, was discovered in Late Cretaceous rocks in Ganzhou in southern China and belongs to a toothless theropod dinosaur oviraptorosaurus. It has grown to 27 centimeters, the oblong egg itself has a length of about 17 centimeters. A randomly acquired copy was stored in The Museum of the History of the Nature of the Inlian stone and caught the eye of researchers only recently. Oviraptorosaurs were feathered theropod dinosaurs closely related to modern birds. They lived in Asia and North America during the Cretaceous period. Inside the egg, the oviraptorosaur is positioned as modern chicks do. Previously, scientists have not observed such
