When did the first acrobats appear?

Man has always loved to have fun. From the very beginning of civilization, acrobats, jugglers, animal trainers and clowns have existed for such entertainment. So we cannot say exactly when the first acrobats appeared. Today our idea of acrobats is connected with the circus. Remembering the first circus, we can imagine how modern acrobats appeared.

The first and largest circus in ancient times was the Maximus circus in Rome. It first began to operate in the III century BC and was intended mainly for chariot competitions. The atmosphere in this circus was similar to the modern one. It was a great performance for the people. At the same time, circus performances were given in other theaters, in many respects similar to today's ones. Jugglers, acrobats, tightrope walkers and animal trainers performed there.

For almost a thousand years after the fall of the Roman Empire, the circus did not exist in an organized form. Wandering troupes of circus performers performed, including acrobats, jugglers, and tightrope walkers. Acrobats first appeared in a permanent circus building in 1768 in England. They began performing alongside clowns, tightrope walkers and circus riders. It is now clear to us that acrobats have entertained people for thousands of years. They still perform the most exciting tricks in the circus today.

What tool can be used to go down the ski slopes in speed competitions?

In the 1970s, ski resort workers in New Mexico came up with a quick way to move between locations. They rolled down the slopes astride shovels, controlling the movement by tilting the handle in one direction or another. Over time, this fun began to attract more and more people, even becoming a sport included in the Winter Extreme Games. However, the high risk of injury, exacerbated by the modification of shovels to give them better speed characteristics, has led to the fact that competitions in descent with shovels have been banned almost everywhere.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Platform MediaTek LinkIt Smart 7688 01.12.2015

MediaTek Labs has unveiled the MediaTek LinkIt Smart 7688 Developer Platform, the latest addition to the LinkIt Developer Platform series.

The new platform provides developers with rich programming options and allows them to quickly build modern devices with Wi-Fi modules and access to cloud services such as IP cameras, surveillance systems, smart home appliances and Wi-Fi gateways.

Two hardware development kits (HDKs) will go on sale: LinkIt Smart 7688 with MediaTek MT7688AN chipset and LinkIt Smart 7688 Duo, additionally equipped with an Arduino-compatible microcontroller. Both breadboards are equipped with a built-in Wi-Fi modem, 128MB RAM and 32MB ROM modules, and a wide range of options for connecting peripherals.

"Encouraging innovation in the IoT is one of the priorities of MediaTek Labs. Today's addition to the LinkIt family of products is created specifically for the numerous developer communities working with open-source platforms with integration into cloud services. We believe that our new products will contribute to the implementation of the most daring ideas of developers and will make our world even more united in the context of global communications,” commented Mark Neidell, vice president of MediaTek Labs, commenting on the announcement. popular programming languages and compatibility with Linux".

Three developer communities will immediately find clear benefits in using the LinkIt Smart 7688 development board:

1. OpenWrt developers will be able to use the OpenWrt SDK to create applications in C language for their IoT devices, as well as use more than 2000 ready-made software modules to implement additional functionality.
2. Developers of applications for mobile platforms and the web, thanks to the support of Node.js and Python, will be able to easily integrate their developments into the IoT environment.
3. Arduino developers can use the Arduino IDE to develop applications for the built-in microcontroller in the LinkIt Smart 7688 Duo and control peripherals in real time.

The MediaTek LinkIt Smart 7688 and 7688 Duo development boards will be available worldwide through Seeed Studio channels starting December 1, 2015. The LinkIt Smart 7688 is $12,9 and the LinkIt Smart 7688 Duo is $15,9. An open-source version of the Wi-Fi driver is under development and will be available on the MediaTek Labs website in a few months.
