In which group did Alla Pugacheva unwittingly become a backing vocalist?

Alla Pugacheva unwittingly became the backing vocalist of the Nautilus Pompilius group when they were recording the Prince of Silence album in her studio. Once she went to the musicians and offered to add a vocal part in a whisper to the song "Doctor of Your Body".

Everyone liked the idea, but Butusov could not properly portray a whisper, and then Pugacheva went to the microphone and began to teach him. Without telling anyone, the sound engineer recorded her part and offered to insert it into the track, and the group did this without the explicit consent of Alla Borisovna.

How does a cricket sing?

The cricket has a special human affection. In many countries there is a superstition associated with this insect. So, for example, a cricket living in your house brings happiness, and if he leaves you, then this is a bad omen. In Italy, North Africa and Japan, crickets are kept in cages because people love listening to their fun tunes!

But the cricket doesn't actually sing. He is a violinist! It makes sounds by rubbing the sharp side of one prewing against the surface of the other. Only males play their tunes. They chirp all day, as they attract females with this music. Imagine what it would be like if boys played the violin all day to attract girls!

Crickets have sharp eyes that are located on their legs instead of their usual head location. Their antennae are very long, and their legs are specially adapted for jumping.

The domestic cricket (sometimes called the fireplace cricket) is an inhabitant of Europe. It was introduced to the New World many years ago and is now found in many parts of the United States.

It is a small insect, about 3 cm long, greyish-yellow in color with brown spots. He lives in residential buildings. Crickets love warmth and are often found near fireplaces, where they hide in cracks between rocks or floorboards. The field cricket is larger and almost black in color. He makes a small depression in the ground - this is his house. During courtship, the male perches at the entrance and chirps. There are also tree crickets. They especially like low tones in music.

Farmers are terrified of cricket larvae, as they eat the leaves of bushes, vineyards and trees on which they hatch.

Did you know that Chinese crickets are bred to fight each other in cricket fights and people watching them make bets on who will win?

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 ... >>

Biocompatible electrode cloth for clothing 15.02.2013

Japanese companies Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT) announced the development of an electrode material that can be "sewn" into clothing fabric. A high-tech fabric is obtained by coating silk and synthetic fiber structures with a conductive PEDOT-PSS polymer.

The resulting material is highly flexible, not afraid of water and strong enough. According to the developers, such a fabric does not cause skin irritation and discomfort when touched directly and is biocompatible.

Unlike previous similar designs based on silver-plated fibers, the electrode tissue is characterized by a low noise level and can be used for applications such as continuous recording of an electrocardiogram. The novelty has already been tested on ten patients. After several days of continuous wearing of this fabric, people did not feel any discomfort. At the same time, the data were accurately measured.

In the future, developers plan to conduct more thorough testing of their product. In addition, the material can be used not only to obtain an electrocardiogram, but also in electroencephalography, remote patient monitoring, and telemedicine services.
