Main event
For the first time in the world, fingerprinting was used to identify a criminal
April 18, 1902
April 18, 1902
Dactyloscopy is a method of identification of a person's fingerprint, based on the uniqueness of the skin pattern, that is, each person has an individual pattern of papillary lines. They do not change during life and are restored after damage to the skin in its previous form.
The method of fingerprinting is based on the idea of the Englishman William Herschel, who put forward a hypothesis about the invariability of the papillary pattern of palmar surfaces of the human skin. This hypothesis was born as a result of long research by the author, who served as a police officer in India and had a broad "field" for research.
In 1895, the English anthropologist and psychologist Francis Galton (author of the book ''Fingerprints'') achieved the introduction of fingerprinting as a method of registering criminals already in England.
April 18, 1902 in Denmark for the first time in the world was used dactyloscopy to identify the offender, and in September of the same year in the UK fingerprints from the crime scene were first used as evidence of guilt in relation to the suspect in the crime.
In the next 15-20 years, various countries of the world introduced the practice of fingerprinting methods into their practice.
Earlier, experts compared fingerprints "manually", subsequently the principle of comparing prints was automated. Each country has its own electronic database of prints. And there is a database of law enforcement agencies that stores fingerprints of people ever detained, and also has a common database that is "voluntary". If a person has been registered, and his card is in the database, he is easily identified.
Today, practical methods of using fingerprinting are very broad. Forensic science was the first and most important area of its application and remains so until now.
The development of computer technology has allowed to create fingerprint scanners, which are installed on laptops, cell phones, flash drives, etc. Locks and safes equipped with such scanners can be opened with a simple finger touch. Today, fingerprinting allows, using just a fingerprint instead of a password for verification of identity, to provide, therefore, reliable protection of digital information and its confidential data.
Every year on April 18, a large group of enthusiasts-radio amateurs around the world celebrates their “professional” holiday - World Amateur Radio Day.
On April 18, 1925, the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) was founded in Paris, thanks to this event, radio amateurs had a reason to celebrate success and achievements every year. And members of this organization today are radio amateurs from more than one hundred and fifty countries of the world.
Many radio engineers, electronics engineers, who became famous for their achievements and the latest communication technologies began their activities with such amateur radio companies. They brought a lot of benefit to the development of cellular communication, which we all actively use today.
Thanks to the activities of such circles and societies of radio amateurs, the right to life has received many inventions known to us, such as adaptive antennas, radio and television receivers, and other technologies. Every year, World Amateur Radio Day is held under a certain slogan. These are topics dedicated to expanding the world of radio communications, a combination of modern digital technologies, the development of radio communications, etc.
1846 - American Royal E. House patented a telegraph.
1853 - The first railway in Asia (Bombay - Tanna, 36 km) was put into operation.
1866 - Ernest Starling, a British physiologist, was born. Author of classic studies on blood circulation, lymph formation, intestinal motility, pancreatic secretion, etc. He introduced the concept of "hormone". Prior to this, mental outbursts were called differently, for example, “the crap reached”.
1870 - I Vatican Council adopted the dogma of the infallibility of the Pope.
1902 - Denmark became the first country in which fingerprints were used to identify the perpetrators.
1909 - The Vatican canonized Joan of Arc.
1925 - The International Amateur Radio Union is formed.
1927 - The Leningrad Committee for Invention Affairs patented an artificial respiration device.
1934 - American Kentrell opened the first automate laundry service in the town of Fort Worth (Texas).
1946 - Because of creating the United Nations in Geneva, the dissolution of the League of Nations was announced.
1956 - born Eric Roberts, American actor, elder brother of Julia Roberts.
1968 - The old London Bridge was sold to an American company, which shipped it from Britain to Arizona, where it was re-erected.
1971 - David Tennant was born (his real name is David John MacDonald), English actor ("Doctor Who", "Casanova").
1974 - Edgar Wright was born, British director and screenwriter (“Shaun of the Dead”, “Hot Fuzz”).
1987 - Gregory Robertson in Coolidge (Arizona, USA) performed one of the most amazing rescue operations during a parachute jump. In the course of the group free flight, Debbie William collided with another paratrooper and lost consciousness. Seeing the situation, Robertson maneuvered next to her, but only at an altitude of 1065 meters he was able to pull her parachute over the exhaust ring. The brave paratrooper saved Debbie William's life, when there was no more than 10 seconds left before meeting the earth.
2008 - a group of researchers from the University of Manchester, headed by Konstantin Novoselov, managed to create the world's smallest single-electron transistor, constructed on the basis of graphene nanofilms.
Holidays
The International Day of Monuments and Historic Sites
The International Day of Monuments and Historic Sites was established in 1982 by the Assembly of the International Council for the Protection of Monuments and Sites, established at UNESCO. The holiday has been celebrated in the world since April 18, 1984 in order to draw public attention to the issues of protection and preservation of the world cultural heritage.
Today's holiday is an occasion to once again draw the attention of the general public and government representatives to the issues of protection and preservation of various local monuments and historical sites and objects of world cultural heritage.
Therefore, on this day, as part of the celebration, various conferences are held on the preservation and protection of cultural heritage, as well as a number of other events. For example, some museums and exhibition halls on this day (as well as the International Museum Day) can be accessed for free. And visitors can visit architectural complexes and historical buildings that are closed to ordinary people on ordinary days.
