Day #1
Скрытый текст
Our planet makes one turn around its axis in 24 hours, right? Wrong.
In fact, it makes one turn in 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds. But because the Earth also moves on its orbit around the Sun by slightly less than one degree every day, it takes some additional time before the planet turns by the same meridian to the Sun, and therefore, the intervals between middays are 24 hours.
But even this is not accurate enough. Rotation of the Earth may speed up or slow down on a short-time scale, like one day, and it tends to slow down on the longer period of years, centuries and millennia. Typically such shifts are of the order of one millisecond a day, but they add up, and in a few years can make a difference of one second plus or minus. On the long scale, the overall trend is slowing down, currently by about 2 to 3 seconds in a hundred thousand years.
In the short periods rotation is affected by winds and shifts of oceanic streams. In very long periods gravitational pull of the Moon causes tides, as well as stresses and stretches in the Earth, which dissipate the energy of rotation, and it slows down. When dinosaurs appeared on the Earth 250 million years ago, the length of the day was about 22 hours, and about 23 hours and 20 minutes by the time when they became extinct 65 million years ago. In earlier times, soon after the Earth and the Moon formed, the Moon was much closer to the Earth. At that time, over 4 billion years ago, the Earth turned around its axis in something like 3 to 5 hours, and the slowing down was much faster.
In a recent study, data of observation of the Earth rotation accumulated in the period of the past 40 years was analyzed. And one more factor affecting the rotation was found – processes inside the Earth. It appears that its crystalline iron inner core, its liquid outer core and its two molten mantles are rotating at different angular velocities, causing rotation of the crust. It was found that in those 40 years there were three "blips", when rotation changed by much more than a millisecond a day.
This happened in 1969, 1972 and 1978. And those "blips" coincided with sudden shifts of magnetic poles. The source of the magnetic field of the Earth is its iron core. Magnetic poles do not coincide with the geographic poles and slowly drift year by year. In those years they made sudden leaps by hundreds of kilometers, and the strength of the magnetic field also changed abruptly. From other studies it is known that in the history of our planet there were many periods when magnetization of the Earth abruptly changed to the opposite.
It is not known why such "blips" happen. Scientists believe that certain disturbances periodically occur down there, in the mantle, the outer and inner cores. Strong earthquakes can also provoke such disturbances. But so far this is only a hypothesis.

Кто какими прожками пользуется для прокачки англ?
Недавно денчик показывал прожки свои нна мобиле.
elsa speak мне понравилась, для убирания акцента. Куча мелких упражнений на произношение, т.е. ты говоришь в микрофон она показывает что ты произнес, фонетику пример послушать модно как правильно и практикуешься до идеального произношения.
У денчика ритуал утренний чай и несколько лвлов в этой прожке.
И еще English grammar test собственно тесты по грамматике с обьяснением ошибок.
А в чем разница между коннотацией и коллокацией?
DospexiBoga, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6n...TCZ5t-N3Rm3-HA - для околонаучных фантазий. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE1...JQEORz9nZqb5bQ - мысли о видеоиграх. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWq...PshNhPjV5h1xRw - туда же. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4_...DseacR1-ttTdOg - туда же. https://www.youtube.com/user/vice - документалки о современных проблемах.
А вообще, это все развлекательный контент. Если нужно научиться воспринимать на слух, то у меня это был http://www.bbc.co.uk/5live , который я слушал не менее двух часов в день в течение года, ну и интересные подкасты с турнирами по интересным мне киберспортивным дисциплинам.
Далее, это дело неплохо было бы подкрепить прокачкой вокабуляра и механического скилла чтения. Воид скинул ссылку на книжки. Плюс, грамматика. В моем случае это был Мерфи intermediate level, который я делал письменно по возможности каждый день. Ну, как-то так. Сейчас спустя 2 с половиной года потихоньку возвращаюсь к английскому. Что интересно, скилл восприятия на слух не просто не ухудшился, он стал восприниматься так же, как и родной язык. То есть, слова превращаются в общую картину, я их не выцыпляю по отдельности, а незнакомые проскакивают мимо, что не очень хорошо, ибо нужно сосредотачиваться именно на незнакомом вокабуляре. Однако это совсем не тот уровень концентрации, что требовался, когда я только начинал.
Удачки.

Ну, думаю, ты не про грамматическое отличие, а скорее, абстрактно. Для меня многие конструкции усваивались не через книжку, а через, скажем так, интерактивное взаимодействие с происходящем на экране во время активной фазы изучения языка. В данном случае это был турнир по старкрафту с Аполло в качестве ведущего, кажется, и тогда мне как-то эта конструкция запала, как бы заставив меня самого догадаться о ее особенностях. Далее была неделя проверок и убеждений в правильности усвоенного в такой необычной устной форме материала. Ну да, суть в том, что иногда такие вещи приходят с догадкой о том, какова их суть. В том есть некоторая ценность искусственного "погружения" в языковую среду.

Кстати, интересная особенность: дочитываю вторую часть Гарри Поттера и в каждых 2-5% книги у меня стабильно 6-12 новых слов. Видимо, мой словарик еще достаточно беден для того, чтобы менее стакаться на переводе новых слов, при том, что некоторые из них я таки пропускаю.
Good morning, club!
Day #2
Скрытый текст
In 1936 Winston Churchill said: "We shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium".
On August 5, 2013 a beef burger, meat for which was grown in a laboratory rather than within a cow, was publicly cooked and tasted by several people. The piece of meat for this burger was provided by a group of researchers from Maastricht University, the Netherlands, and the cost of this piece of beef was almost 250,000 euros. It was grown out of stem cells turned into muscle cells and provided with necessary conditions for growth. Those few lucky (or maybe, brave enough) people who tasted small pieces of the burger, admitted that its texture was good (resembling real meat), but it was rather tasteless (or its taste resembled something else, like baked dough).
This was not the first presentation of artificially grown meat. In 2011 researches from a Californian company called Modern Meadow presented their piece of artificially grown beef. The presentation was exciting, but the taste did not excite anyone.
Though this company continues to work on meat, it moved on to growing leather. Leather can be easier accepted by public, no one has to taste or digest it. It can be used for manufacturing handbags and other leather products. It does not have to overcome many hurdles imposed on the way of food products from producers to consumers. It is much easier to make this product accepted by the public than meat. And probably, when people get used to leather produced by a factory rather than by a farm, they will be ready to accept meat produced in the same way.
The ideologist of the company strongly objects to calling these products "artificial leather" or "artificial meat". They are cultured, and eventually they will become just leather and meat, he believes. The process of manufacturing meat and leather resembles 3D printing, he says, only it is 3D bio-printing. Of course, it is far from being perfect right now, but it develops in the right direction.
Farming meat and leather may seem a very natural process, but its byproducts are comparable with chemical factories. Farming of meat is already responsible for more than 14% of greenhouse gases emission, not only carbon dioxide, but also gases with much stronger greenhouse effect, like methane, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. Take into account large parts of arable land, water and energy resources needed for growing meat, take into account that the average distance of transportation of meat from a farm to your fridge is about 1600 km (1000 miles), and you'll see how inefficient farming of meat is. In less than 40 years the ever growing human population will need 70% more meat than it needs now. We have to look for other sources of animal proteins now in order not to starve later.
There is one more alternative source of proteins – using insects as food. Which would you prefer: to eat fried cockroaches and grasshoppers or to eat "3D printed" beef? By the year 2050, or even earlier, people may face this choice. Meat produced in “traditional way” will be in short supply and very expensive.
