What kind of true friend did the dance teacher have?

Faithful friend of the dance teacher in the past - pochetta. A very tiny violin is called a pochetta, its size is only 35 centimeters. The name "pochetta" comes from the French "pocheter", which means "to carry in your pocket". This violin in ancient times was always carried by a dance teacher in a special pocket on a camisole. That's why it was called "dancing master violin".

Approximately two hundred years ago, along with the dance teacher, special musicians began to come to the lessons. Therefore, pochettes became unnecessary and gradually disappeared.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Where is Ismail Somoni Peak located?

Mountains occupy almost the entire territory of Tajikistan, and only a tenth of it falls on the valleys. The highest mountain range in the world - the Pamirs - is almost entirely located on the territory of Tajikistan.

The highest mountain in the Pamirs is the peak of Ismail Somoni with a height of 7495 meters. Russian and Soviet scientists have made a great contribution to the study of the mountains of Tajikistan. The final exact location and height of the mountain were established during the Soviet expeditions of 1931 and 1932, then the highest peak of the Soviet Union received its first name - Stalin Peak. In 1962, the mountain was renamed Communism Peak, and in 1998, after Tajikistan gained independence, it received its current name in honor of the founder of the first Tajik state. But most of all scientific and climbing expeditions visited the peak at a time when it was called Communism Peak, therefore it is under it that it is best known throughout the world.

Only groups of the best mountaineers can climb the steep rocky slopes to such a great height. Real treasures are hidden in these harsh lands: rare and precious metals, rock crystal, semi-precious stones, topazes, aquamarines, tourmalines.

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 2 3D/2030D projector 29.08.2013

Epson has introduced a rather interesting PowerLite Home Cinema 2030 home projector, which deserves some attention due to a number of technical features and a relatively low cost - $1000 in the US. This device may appeal to many who want to organize a real cinema at home and project their favorite movies and series on the wall.

The device for the first time among the company's projectors received an HDMI port with MHL support in addition to the usual HDMI port and USB connectors, which allows you to display images from compatible Android smartphones and tablets. Full 1920 x 1080 resolution image output is supported in both 2D and 3D.

We should also mention the built-in speakers, support for high-quality 3LCD picture output technology and a lamp with a brightness of 2000 lumens. Epson Active Shutter Glasses (sold separately) allow you to view 3D content for up to 40 hours on a single charge. Another feature of the device is that it is the most compact among Epson projectors that support 1080p output. PowerLite Home Cinema 2030 will hit the US market in September.
