Where is the regular World Guitar Imitation Championship held?

Finland hosts the World Air Guitar Championship every year. This means that the participants do not play a real instrument, but only imitate such a game, imitating rock stars. The jury evaluates them on several components: technique, charisma and artistry.

Competitions usually take place in two stages: the first round, the participants perform with a pre-prepared number, and then improvise to the tune chosen by the organizers.

Why did Aphrodite protect the Trojans in the Trojan War, while Hera and Athena helped the Achaeans?

At that time, when Paris was still grazing cattle on Mount Ida, unaware of his royal origin, Hermes, accompanied by Hera, Athena and Aphrodite, brought him a golden apple and the command of Zeus to become a judge in a dispute between three goddesses. This apple with the inscription "Most Beautiful" was thrown by the goddess of discord at the feet of Hera, Athena and Aphrodite, when they, holding hands, had a nice conversation with each other at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis (Eris, who was not invited to the wedding, decided in this way to quarrel the divine guests ).

Paris was well aware that by giving preference to one of the goddesses, he would cause enmity between the other two, but did not dare to disobey the almighty Zeus. He invited the goddesses to appear before him one at a time in order to avoid unnecessary disputes, and naked, since otherwise the divine beauties would have to be judged by their robes.

They say that Aphrodite was the first to be ready, but Athena insisted that she take off her famous magic belt, thanks to which everyone fell in love with its owner. Aphrodite agreed, but on the condition that Athena take off her helmet, without which, according to Aphrodite, she is simply terrible to look at. Therefore, Hera was the first to appear before Paris. Showing him all the virtues of her magnificent body, she declared that if he gave the apple to her, she would make him the most powerful person living today. Then Parisa tried to win Athena over to her side, promising to make him come out victorious in all his battles, and also be the most beautiful and wise man in the world.

However, Paris, without hesitation, awarded the golden apple to Aphrodite, who promised him the love of the most beautiful woman - Helen, the wife of the Spartan king Menelaus. Therefore, in the subsequent Trojan War, Aphrodite defended the Trojans, and Hera and Athena helped the Greeks.

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. ... >>

Electronic system for simultaneous interpretation into the sign language of the deaf and dumb 27.05.2003

The Institute of Computer Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as a result of the development of intelligent command recognition technologies, created a computer system for simultaneous translation into sign language. It is intended for deaf children.

According to the project manager, Professor Gao Wen, this system has no analogues in the world and is capable of recognizing over 5 gestures. The words spoken by the operator are translated into sign language by the computer and displayed on the monitor. Now deaf and dumb TV viewers will be able to "listen" to the news.

The system can also be used for teaching sign language, as an electronic dictionary or as a tour guide.
