Also by 3.6 percent increased the number of road traffic accidents associated with violation of traffic rules by citizens of the CIS countries and by 1.5 percent – the number of people injured in such accidents. The largest number of such accidents

The doctor revealed ways to get used to the cold

Therapist Romanenko urged to sleep at 18-22 degrees to get used to the cold weather “Tatyana Romanenko told the Russians how to help the body adapt faster to low air temperatures. She revealed ways to increase tolerance to cold and not freeze in an interview with Sputnik radio. The specialist explained that in cold weather, heat in the human body is redistributed: it remains in the vital organs, while the legs, arms and nose may freeze. She called for reducing discomfort and training cold receptors. In order for the body to get used to low temperatures, it needs to create minimal cooling by reducing the temperature in the room. “It is optimal to sleep at a temperature of 18 to 22 degrees, and slowly leave the comfort zone. If the room temperature is 30 degrees, then even at 10 degrees outside we will feel frozen, and the risk of hypothermia

Cynologist warned of the danger of poisoning a dog at home

Cynologist Golubev: Plants and household chemicals can poison a dog at home. He noted that these animals are curious and can find plants, food or household chemicals that are dangerous for them, RIA Novosti reports. “Sometimes we just don’t think about the fact that the house can be dangerous for a dog foods or plants. To avoid trouble, carefully study all household chemicals, plants and other products that can harm the dog if it tries to chew or eat them, ”said the dog handler. Golubev recalled that all potentially dangerous items should be removed to an inaccessible place where the pet cannot reach. From drugs, narcotic components, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antidepressants, painkillers and analgesics can seriously harm or lead an animal. Among indoor plants, irises, daffodils, peonies, lupins, calla lilies, standing in vases, are dangerous for a dog tulips, lilies, gypsophila, snowdrops, chrysanthemums, lilies of the valley, delphiniums, foxglove, as

Russian astronomers have studied molecular clouds in Orion

Russian astronomers have studied the photodissociation area in the Orion Bridge source in the mid-infrared range. The results, published in the arXiv.org preprint repository, will help scientists understand the evolution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in space. The Orion Bar is a region in the interstellar medium at the interface between hot ionized gas and cold molecular clouds, energetically dominated by non-ionizing ultraviolet photons. Thus, this region is a photon-dominated region (PDR) that affects organic molecules present in space, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Scientists analyzed archival photometric and spectroscopic observations made with telescopes UKIRT, Spitzer, ISO and SOFIA. They examined the flux density from the emission regions of the Orion Barrier at wavelengths of 3.3, 3.4, 3.6, 6.6, 7.7 and 11.2 micrometers in different places of the photodissociation region and a spectrum of 3-45 micrometers in one place. The researchers also simulated the photodegradation of PAHs due to ultraviolet radiation.

Psychologist Sinarev: to combat total bad luck, you need to change the algorithm of actions with total bad luck. He recalled that everything in life has a cause-and-effect relationship, and if something goes wrong, you need to change the algorithm of actions.

This became known to the Financial Times. According to the newspaper's sources, during the tests, the Chinese aircraft was able to reach a speed of at least five times the speed of sound, and at the same time to launch. At the same time, previously no country could do this. Experts from the US Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) could not explain exactly how the PRC was able to achieve this. In addition, Washington does not know which projectile launched the aircraft, but notes that it did not have an obvious target and later simply fell into the water.
