Main event
Ernest Shackleton's expedition discovered the southern magnetic pole of the Earth
January 16, 1909
It should be noted that from the physical point of view this pole is "northern", since it attracts the south pole of the compass needle.
The location of the south magnetic pole does not coincide with the geographical south pole. The magnetic pole currently located on the edge of Antarctica.
The opposite of the south magnetic pole is the north magnetic pole, which is located north of Canada. In connection with the asymmetry of the Earth's magnetic field, the magnetic poles are not antipodal points.
The magnetic pole in the Southern Hemisphere was first reached on January 16, 1909 by David, Mawson and McKay from the expedition of E. G. Shackleton: at the point with coordinates 72 ° 25'00 "S. w. 155 ° 16'00 "in. the magnetic declination differed from 90 ° by less than 15 '.
Holidays
The Beatles World Day
The holiday in a honor of the Liverpool Four is celebrated since 2001 by the decision of UNESCO.
The date was not chosen randomly. On January 16, 1957, the club “Cavern” opened in Liverpool, where the young musicians John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison began their journey to fame. A couple of years later, another future Beatle joined them - Ringo Starr.
Later on January 16, another significant event in the history of “The Beatles” happened: on this day in 1964, magazine "Cashbox" assigned the first place in the American charts to the song “I Want To Hold Your Hand”, because a 1 million copies were sold in 10 days.
In the usual group of "The Beatles" members, they worked for eight years.
During this time, they officially released 13 albums, each song of which became a real hit.
Starting with an imitation of the classics of American rock and roll (a great influence on the four had, for example, the work of Elvis Presley), “The Beatles” came to their own style.
The group received worldwide recognition in 1963 after the release of the single "Please Please Me". From that moment on the planet began the madness, which received the name "Beatlemania".
The group had a great influence on the development of world music. Many famous composers and performers took an example from them. In addition, the Beatles for the first time used some innovative developments in the field of recording and filming video clips.
Currently, The Beatles is ranked first on the list of the greatest performers of all time according to the ''Rolling Stone'' magazine.
Ice-makers Day
On January 16, a professional holiday is celebrated by people of a rare, but very necessary profession - Ice-makers. That is, those who fill the ice rinks.
The date of the holiday was the birthday in 1901 of the American engineer Frank Zamboni, who invented the resource agent - an ice combine to recover ice on the rinks (before the invention was done manually).
In any ice arena, all attention is usually focused on athletes. However, for successful performances it is important not only their skill, but also the conditions for the competition, in particular ice. How successful the performance of figure skaters will turn out, whether it will be possible to make a bright rental without blots - it all depends, among other things, on the quality of the coating, and the icemakers are responsible for it.
However, these people always remain in the shadow of the backstage and the audience's applause is heard only muffled.
The process of "cooking ice" is very laborious, it takes about seven days:
After washing and cleaning the concrete, pouring begins with a hose. When an array with a thickness of 1.5–2 centimeters is collected, ice coloring begins.
For training skaters ice should be grayish. Therefore, first put white paint, then - gray.
After painting, water is poured again, then annealing follows: the temperature of the plate rises, a special combine leaves and, as it were, forces ice to let the air and salt out of the pores, removes slags.
After that the last layer of ice is applied. In general, the technology of ice preparation in the arenas for figure skating and hockey is almost identical. However, ice hockey players should be somewhat tougher, and the thickness - the same.
