How does steel soap remove unpleasant smell?

Chinese scientists once noticed that the “aggressive” bad odors of skin can be neutralized and totally removed if you rub your skin on stainless steel. 

And it’s not a miracle, because aroma oils which are contained in products with strong smell (for example, in garlic) rapidly separate into more simple chemical elements in the presence of catalyst. 

To put it simply, the metal greatly accelerates such a decomposition reaction. As a result, the scent of garlic disappears from skin in a matter of minutes. 

But to make that happen, you first need to soak your steel soap in warm water, moisten your hands and wash them with steel soap. Then let your hands dry (don’t use a towel!) and wash them again with an ordinary soap. 

The Chinese make steel soap of two metals: steel and a small amount of aluminum. The soap is empty inside,
that’s why it has a small weight. It also has an unlimited service life and doesn’t rust. 

It’s interesting that steel soap removes not only the smell of garlic and onion, but also the scent of different technical substances. This soap would be therefore helpful for those who deal with the maintenance of vehicles. 

The Chinese soap has no analogue in world practice yet.

Isn't it true that there are blue traffic lights in Japan?

If we translate the title of a traffic light go signal from Japanese into English, we’ll get a phrase “blue signal”. But you won’t see blue traffic lights anywhere in the streets of Japanese cities. Their colors are absolutely standard, that is, red, yellow and green.  So what is the cause of this mess?  We should look for it in history. On 8 November 1968 most countries of the world accepted Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals which led them to the international standardization of sings and signals.  Nevertheless, Japan decided to take its own path and chose a blue light as a go signal instead of green one. But in five years the authorities of Japan changed its mind and set a green light as a go one. This step was justified by the poor visibility of a blue signal over long distances, because the electromagnetic waves of a blue light dissipate in the atmosphere.  However the Japanese continued to call a green traffic light “ao singu” which means “a blue signa

Why do we say "Hello", picking up the phone?

Now we perceive a telephone as a perfectly ordinary thing and we can talk on it on any subject, but almost always the first word that we pronounce during a phone conversation is “hello”.  Where did it come from and what does it mean?  Back when telephony started to be introduced into our day-to-day life, everybody who used that novelty had to follow strict procedures. For a long time a phone has remained a working tool for a selected few, as a rule, business and powerful people.  Alexander Bell is considered to be the inventor of a telephone, but the greatest contribution to the improvement of this apparatus and its popularization was made by an American inventor Thomas Edison. It was him who set the word with which a telephone conversation begins in about half of the countries in the world.  In August 2000 Thomas Edison corresponded with the President of one of large telegraphic companies. One of the main themes of their talk was the regulation of negotiation by
