harvard's second african -american female rector in its history hinted in her resignation letter that there was an element of racism in her dismissal. it's disappointing that my commitment to standing up to hate and upholding scientific rigor has been called into question. for me these are two fundamental values. it was scary to be subjected to personal attacks and threats based on racial hatred. sign. gay held on as the thirtieth rector. from the most

prestigious universities in the united states for only six months. the problems began on october 7, when a group of harvard students said: "israel, through its policies, allegedly provoked an attack by hamas on its territory." this was followed by protests in support of palestine. several major harvard donors have demanded that the list of pro-gaza students be published and expelled from the university. when this did not happen, the billionaires announced they were stopping financial assistance to the university. republican politicians intervened in the scandal. they summoned gays, along with the heads of other leading educational institutions, to special congressional hearings. is calling for the genocide of jews a violation of harvard's national origin policy, yes or no? it depends on the context. it doesn't depend on the context. the answer is clear: yes, which is why you should resign. against the backdrop of the scandal,

gay’s opponents began to meticulously analyze her scientific works and immediately found traces in them plagiarism. those from whom the rector borrowed scientific ideas consider the resignation too lenient. i am disappointed that in her resignation letter she accused us of racism, but did not apologize to any of the people she misappropriated. she didn't even admit that she did anything wrong. i am outraged that she was not expelled from the university, but remained at the faculty. republican politicians do not hide that plagiarism is just an excuse to fire the rector. it is unacceptable that harvard took an entire month to demand his resignation. kladin gay. the university of pennsylvania , for example, made the right decision immediately, but only after we forced the academic community to see the light, something was rotten at the top in these institutions, their leaders were legitimizing anti-semitism, especially after the hamas terrorist attack on october 7th. back in september, harvard colleagues

loudly applauded during the inauguration of a fifty-three-year-old african-american woman, a specialist in the field of electoral technologies , about their connection with racial identity in the united states. now some are white. harvard professor allow themselves bold statements, not only in relation to gays. she represents our bureaucracy's commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. this desire is destroying universities across the country. we began to divide everyone into oppressors and oppressed. the oppressors are the successful people of the white race, everyone else is oppressed. this is what students are taught these days. gay was appointed precisely for the sake of diversity and equality. and now she blames everyone but herself. she talks about racism. i'm not racist, i just think she's not deserved this position. the house education committee announced that despite gay's resignation, congress is still waiting for a report from harvard on the fight against anti-semitism and plagiarism at the university.

of the cabinet of ministers, the decision is aimed at stabilizing prices by increasing supply in the domestic market. it was precisely because of the rising prices that imports had to be stimulated. over the past year they have grown one and a half times. the topic has become socially significant, and its discussion has reached the federal level. rosstat data indicated a decrease in domestic production of chicken eggs. in november, the year-on-year decline is small, but compared to october - 6%. against the backdrop of a general lack of supply for market, this was enough to further increase prices. the federal antimonopoly service and the prosecutor general's office joined the audit. news about the beginning.

in the rostov region , a new weight and dimensional control point was launched in test mode, a smart device automatically weighs the size of large loads, and for this there is no need to stop or slow down, the scales were installed as part of a major overhaul of a section of the novorusiya highway. angelina bulanova with details. on both sides of the road there is a row special scales, four in each strip, measurement accuracy is achieved by independent operation, in addition to the mass , dimensions are also determined here, there is a sensor inside the protective barrier, it works like a barcode scanner in a store. sensors are dimensions, they precisely measure the size, in fact they are laser sensors, the laser , well, in a sweep, scans the vehicle, its dimensions in longitudinal and cross section, that is , length and width. so far, the first automated weight control point on the federal highway p280 navorosye

how to make a masterpiece from a plant in a pot that costs more than an elite one the car, the gang, and the cultivation of miniature trees in japan have been elevated to the status of high art. who creates the most expensive bansai and for whom, we will find out about this right now in the japan program with sergei mingazhev. one day, the great master of the tea ceremony, sen norikyu, ordered his son to clean up the garden. he conscientiously swept everything, carefully washed the path to the tea house, but the master was dissatisfied and demanded to redo everything, but even after the second and third time, the result was the same. in desperation, the son prayed that there more can be done? every stone was washed three times, all the trees and lanterns were sprayed with water, not a blade of grass or a leaf was left on the road. young fool - answered rikiu. look how a swept path in a japanese garden should look. with these words, he shook the tree and scattered the fallen leaves along

the path. today we are talking about the japanese perception of beauty. a work of art, on the one hand, is an imitation of natural naturalness, on the other, an attempt to bring it to an ideal that does not exist in nature. it's simple, a plant in a pot, here in general, it is generally accepted that everything beautiful is simple; the complexity lies elsewhere - to show this simplicity in all its glory; for most ordinary foreigners, the idea of ​​bonsai essentially boils down to the fact that it is a dwarf tree, which is grown at home from the very beginning, and of course, the main thing that strikes the imagination of an amateur is the indicated age, although in fact it does not mean at all that some five-hundred-year-old red pine tree grows in a pot all its life, are you ready? it is believed that she became a bonsai from

100 to 200 years ago. by the way, the exact age of a tree can only be determined by cutting it down to the root and counting the annual rings. the bansai determine it by eye. of its conditional 800 years, this cerebellum tree, at least 600, and then all 700, grew somewhere in difficult mountains, until it was dug up by the roots and... places where bonsai are made are called nurseries. masahi kokimura is a legendary figure, a living classic in this area of ​​japanese art. his bansai are one of the most expensive, perhaps the most famous in the world. fat fish swimming in the pond, sturgeon grass carp, the same age as his career success, which began about 40 years ago. if

you want to sell really expensive bansai, it's like paintings and other things like that. you need to understand what exactly buyers like; if connoisseurs don’t recognize you, then nothing will work out. the average cost of his pets is 100-200 thousand dollars. it's interesting that anyone can come here at any time. the gates are locked only at night and there is practically no security security or alarm systems. kimura says that stealing these trees is pointless, they are not sold illegally, his work is in all international catalogs. in the japanese ranking of the best bansai of all time. four of the first five were created by timura sensei, this is what number one looks like. this is a real mona lisa, among bonsai it is considered the best tree according to japanese masters. kimura sensei, please tell us about this tree? in 1985 he was found in the mountains. after i worked with it and gave it this shape, it received the main prize

of the country's prime minister. this is the highest honor for bansai. but why so smooth and writhing? the form is nowhere else, it creates the illusion of movement, that’s what’s important here, this is a living fiber, its movement is impeccable, isn’t it, together it looks excellent, at least that’s what everyone thinks. rich people from all over the world contact me, there are many people who want to buy the best japanese bonsai, but you don’t want to sell, no, it’s not for sale. kimura called this bonsai dragon dance, living fiber, by the way, this is a feature. cerebellum trees, the white trunk is the dead part , you can do whatever you want with it, plan, saw, drill, complete freedom of creativity, if you damage the only feeding vein, the tree will die, when this bonsai was delivered to the workshop between the crown and the roots there was one and a half meters trunk, that is , you want to say that when you see a tree, you immediately understand what kind of bonsai it

should become after processing, of course, that’s the only way, it’s called instant... inspiration, imagine, kimura sawed it all off excess, leaving only a thread of living fiber, which he twisted like a rope in the form of a skein and packed it in a pot. in fact, it was an extreme surgical operation that lasted two days, which no one has yet dared to repeat. a unique opportunity to observe the master at work, this black pine was purchased at an auction; he does not say how much it cost, but according to him, it is not very expensive, but after this work is completed, the price will jump several times. i think a lot of people have tried me work with this bansai. look carefully, he threads a steel pin and

bends the trunk of a hundred-year-old tree to then secure the branches with wire, it doesn’t look very difficult, but for inexperienced people. everything is completed, the wire frame is fixed, excess branches are cut off, the tree will remain in this form for about 2 years, then it can be sold. the value of bonsai is determined by three criteria: age, shape and, so to speak, biographical features, well, with age everything is clear, shape is a subjective concept, although there are undeniable things: take, for example, this japanese

maple, it costs a lot of money, all due to the amazing appearance of the root system, you see, it looks like... molten lava for this root, when the tree is still young and flexible, they intertwine with each other, then through various manipulations, pruning , and so on, they achieve that they grow together and turn into such a homogeneous alloy, this usually takes about 20 years, but the tree itself is already more than 150, and this 150-year-old chinese quince has a truly noble origin, its first owner was japanese railway magnate kaitero, then the tree was bought by nobyskaya kishi, the former japanese prime minister, shin's grandfather.

created by people, everything is clear, but having a piece of wild nature at home, you see, is very rare, usually for this you need to go somewhere, and so you come home from work, and here there is such beauty, incredible energy emanates from it, a feeling of peace, in this for me, the main meaning is collecting bansai. you can leave bonsai indoors only for a short time; they are mostly kept outdoors, a bowl of water for bonsais also, by the way, a collection item worth 20 thousand dollars must always be filled in case of interruptions during earthquakes. each tree requires an individual approach, for example, japanese maple or cypress love a lot of moisture, but for

spruce or pine, excessive watering is detrimental. there are sachets of fertilizer in almost every pot. to prevent bonsai from losing their artistic appearance, the owner periodically, like a favorite car for inspection, gives them to specialists from nurseries for preventative maintenance. there they are pruned, if necessary, the soil is changed, cleaned roots, correct shape. and this is the secret of the longevity of potted trees. deprived of such health care, their wild counterparts die much earlier. by the age of 32, nakadaisan had amassed a substantial collection of two dozen bansai. there is also a masterpiece from kimura’s nursery, but the most valuable specimen of the collection is the 23-year-old gooe matsu pine. i think this tree has the perfect shape. a person cannot create this. no matter what angle you look at it from, it is completely there.

but it all depends on your imagination, in general each person has his own perception of bansai , if you name a specific price, then the whole conversation comes down to whether it is expensive or cheap, precisely because i am not going to sell it, i will not set a price for it, but how much money i paid for it myself, no one but me should know. knowledgeable people say that you need to admire bonsai by squatting down and looking at it from bottom to top; it is at this moment that the main miracle of transformation occurs, when a small tree in a clay pot suddenly becomes spreading handsome man against the blue sky. first mentions. bonsai in japan dates back to the 12th century. they were fascinated by both representatives of the military class and the established aristocracy, which outlined the canonical rules for admiring these trees.

there are essentially three basic styles. the main attribute of a traditional japanese room is a special tokonoma niche, designed for art installations in the minimalist spirit of jembuddism. a cage with a cricket, a scroll with a picture of butterflies and a tree. the rest will be completed by imagination. bansai are directed towards the painting, under which there is an insect trap. all these are attributes of the beginning of summer. young foliage of the tree creates an atmosphere of freshness. this style of decoration is typical for the homes of ordinary people. and this style is called. such rooms are suitable for tea ceremonies. you see, different types of wood are used here: red pine, camellia, bamboo. this selection destroys the feeling of confinement in a cramped space. in the adjacent niche of the phragm. the most prestigious vertical stripes on wood -

this is cryptomeria, a sign of the nobility of the breed, a bonsai of the highest rank, a scroll of quotes from classical chinese poetry, and the flying strikoza has been considered a symbol of victory since the times of the samurai, this is a masculine style, in the old days the chambers of the shoguns were decorated this way, in modern japan there is the second such room... art bonsai is a symbiosis of a florist, gardener and sculptor. if you want to be in demand, break the mold and try to create something new, in this case with the help of a diamond blade and a hammer. while this is an intermediate stage, now we have to carefully work out the small details, as here, then the stone itself needs to be properly fixed on the stand, all this will take

quite a lot. the result should be something like this work of art . kimura sensei says that such compositions with miniature rocks are especially popular among foreigners, for example, this example was created 40 years ago, the master does not sell it to anyone, he keeps evidence of that as a sample that even after decades time is not reflected in any way neither on the beauty nor on the health of the bonsai. today , approximately 80% of sales of elite japanese bonsai are exported, almost half comes from china and the countries of southeast asia, masters are forced to take into account the tastes of new clients. kimorasen, this bonsai, when compared to most others, has a very unusual shape, completely unconventional. yes, i call it creative bansai, when the artist’s imagination is fully embodied in it, the complete opposite of orthodox bansai. at one time i often visited china,

there are many places with similar landscapes. this particular one is modeled after the dzhan-zadze national park. i was so impressed that i decided to depict it as a bansai. the main difficulty is that there is always little moisture at the top, so that the plant does not die, i made special cavities behind it to the very bottom, because if you simply attach the plant to the rocks, it will dry out in the summer. bonsai, as a cultural phenomenon and a type of business, is increasingly spreading around the world, but this does not bother masters like kimura; on the contrary, last... years he takes mostly foreigners as his students, in the end, what does it matter: japanese pine, russian birch or american sequoia, if you can make a living work of art out of them in a pot, they will be called bonsai in any case , which, along with the kabuki theater, the tea ceremony and the rock garden, invariably remains one of the most recognizable symbols of japan. sergey mengazhev, alexey pichko, east asian bureau of news from japan.
