What famous Russian painting was inspired by bullfighting?

Ilya Repin was inspired to create the painting "Ivan the Terrible and his son Ivan on November 16, 1581" by several events. The first is the assassination of Tsar Alexander II from a bomb explosion, the second is Repin's visit to the concert of Rimsky-Korsakov in the same year, where he was impressed by the music of the Antar symphonic suite and wanted to convey this mood on canvas. And the final stimulus for the artist was a visit to a bullfight in Spain, after which he wrote in his diary: “Misfortunes, living death, murders and blood make up an attracting force ... And I, having probably become infected with this bloodiness, upon arrival home, now started the bloody scene."

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

How to recognize a lefty?

Simple enough. Even if a person has been taught from childhood to write and hold a spoon with his right hand, ask him to put both palms together, interlacing his fingers. The left-hander will definitely put the thumb of his left hand on top.

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. ... >>

Your pills are calling you 04.02.2011

According to the World Health Organization, only about half of patients who are prescribed some kind of medication fully comply with their regimen. The rest forget to take a pill, cut the dose for some reason, or refuse the medicine completely.

To avoid harm to health, the US began to produce a "smart" jar for pills. The doctor programs it for a certain medication regimen, and at the appointed time, the jar, if it has not been opened, sends a radio signal to a miniature base station plugged into any outlet in the apartment.

This station, similar to a regular night light, starts flashing light and emitting soft beeps. If the pill box is still not opened, the signals gradually increase. If this does not help, an SMS with a reminder is sent to the cell phone of the oblivious patient. The device can also complain to the attending physician, also via SMS. The first results: the intake of drugs for hypertension by patients equipped with a new device increased by 65-98%.

Curiously, manufacturers also have an interest in regular drug intake: it is estimated that the US pharmaceutical industry loses $70 billion a year due to the fact that patients constantly forget about the drug.
