What is music?

Imagine that you hit a wooden table with your hand. There was a sound. If you strike the bell, it will also sound. But this sound will be called a tone. Tone is a single musical sound. Music is an art form that combines tones into harmonious groups of sounds. We sometimes call music the language of sounds. Sometimes a melody consists of sounds following one after another. Sometimes they sound together, harmoniously. Sometimes sounds collide with each other. But very often these encounters are full of meaning.

The melody is determined by the rises, falls or smooth movement of the sound. It is also determined by the rhythm of beats, division into parts, speed of sound, or tempo; loudness and softness of sounds matter. All these sounds are mechanical, they are born purely technically. But we don't think about it when we enjoy music.

We cannot always put into words the state that music evokes in us. We simply feel that music evokes joy, sadness, fun, tenderness, love, resentment - all shades of feelings that cannot always be expressed in words.

We like music for its beauty, and not for what thoughts it embodies. We can enjoy even a single musical sound from a voice, violin, horn, or other instrument. A melody can be liked for a very long time, one can know it well, but every time one admires it as if we were hearing it for the first time. Music exists in various forms, from anthem to symphony, and in different forms, from folk melodies to operas.

Who gets the Darwin award and why?

For people who died or lost the opportunity to leave offspring as a result of their own stupidity, a special Darwin award was established. It is given as a reward for a service - the removal of their genes from the gene pool of mankind. One of the classic stories of this kind took place in an Egyptian village. An 18-year-old peasant climbed into the well to get a chicken that had fallen there. Since he did not know how to swim, he began to sink, and his relatives and friends began to jump into the well to help him. In total, 6 people drowned, and the chicken eventually survived.

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. ... >>

AOC AGON PRO AG274QGM Gaming Monitor 13.01.2022

AOC has introduced a new gaming monitor AGON PRO AG274QGM, which features an ultra-high refresh rate of 300 Hz (GtG 1 ms) and support for proprietary NVIDIA Reflex technology.

The novelty is built on a 27-inch IPS-matrix with a resolution of QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels), which provides wide viewing angles, color accuracy and features NVIDIA's patented color calibration. The mini LED backlighting consists of 576 dimmable zones to deliver uncharacteristic IPS deep blacks, making the monitor VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certified.

Support for NVIDIA G-Sync ULTIMATE technology allows users to take advantage of variable refresh rates to eliminate lag and tearing. What's more, this means reduced input lag, even when playing highly realistic HDR images. The built-in G-Sync module synchronizes the images on the screen with the GPU. As a result, the AG274QGM provides gamers with a truly smooth gaming experience without ghosting.

Games using the NVIDIA Reflex API reduce input lag by dynamically synchronizing GeForce GPUs with the CPU, allowing gamers to detect targets faster, respond better, and aim more accurately. In addition, NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer can work in tandem with NVIDIA Reflex-supported monitors and input devices, allowing users to see exactly what their system's overall latency is and play with the knowledge that their computer is running at the lowest possible latency.

In addition, AG274QGM is supported by NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer. This module tracks game mouse clicks by measuring the time until a pixel change (such as a flash from a gun shot) on the screen. For greater flexibility in everyday use, the AG274QGM is equipped with four USB 3.2 ports, allowing users to directly connect peripherals such as a keyboard or mouse. At the same time, the USB port marked in green is intended for devices that support NVIDIA Reflex Analyzer.
