Who is Bolivar?

Napoleon had a huge impact on Europe at the beginning of the XNUMXth century. Almost at the same time, a man named Simón Bolívar had a great deal of influence in South America. For about three hundred years, most of South America was under the dominion of Spain.

Simon Bolivar vowed to liberate his homeland of Venezuela from Spain, but by 1830, when he died, Bolivar had liberated not only Venezuela, but also Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, and Colombia. The young Bolivar was educated as an aristocrat, he studied and traveled in Europe, and the examples of revolutions in France and America moved him deeply. In 1811, with a group of patriots, he made a revolution and proclaimed Venezuela independent. But they were defeated by the Spanish troops, and Bolivar fled the country.

In 1819, he and his army, surprising the Spaniards, crossed the snow-covered Andes and brought independence to Colombia. Two years later, Bolivar liberated Venezuela, and a year later, Ecuador. Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador united to form the Republic of Great Colombia, with Bolivar as president. He later assisted in the liberation of Peru. The upper part of Peru was renamed Bolivia in honor of its liberator.

Bolivar had the power of a dictator, although his ideals were freedom and justice. He favored the formation of a constitutional government, the establishment of more schools, and the emancipation of slaves. Then each country wanted its own independence, and the Republic of Gran Colombia disintegrated. Bolivar's enemies accused him of being a tyrant. As a result, President Bolivar resigned. He died in 1830 at the age of forty-seven, a disappointed man with many enemies, but to the peoples of South America he is still a liberator.

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. ... >>

City vacuum cleaner 30.10.2016

According to the World Health Organization, in 2012, air pollution caused the premature death of 3 million people on the planet, and 92% of the population lives in areas where the content of particles in the air exceeds safety standards. In recent years, various attempts have been made to combat the problem. For example, in Beijing, it was proposed to create giant PTFE air bubbles in public spaces, in Lima - huge billboards that purify the air with water, and in Rotterdam - to build a "Tower without smog" with individual booths with clean air.

Another idea from Holland offers an equally radical solution. Its authors, the designers of Envinity Group, have developed a device resembling a vacuum cleaner, but of a large size. The device should be located on the roofs of houses or near sources of air pollution such as factories and plants and pass through itself 80 cubic meters of air per hour.

As conceived by the authors, the "urban vacuum cleaner" will have to purify the air within a radius of 300 m around itself and up to 7 km above it. After suction, the filters of the unit retain 100% of dispersed and 95% of ultrafine particles, and the air purified in this way fully complies with European directives. Dispersed include particles with a size of 2,5-0,1 microns, and ultrafine - particles with a size of less than 100 nanometers.

Although there is not yet a class standard for ultrafine particles of air pollutants, their potentially detrimental effects on the body through entry into the blood through the lungs are already understood.
