What writers and musicians cut the lyrics into pieces and shuffled them around?

The French Dadaist poet Tristan Tzara invented the “slicing method”, when the text is cut with scissors, and then a new text is compiled from the resulting fragments, which can be very different from the original. This technique was popularized by the beatnik writer William Burroughs, who wrote several novels with it, although, unlike the Dadaists, Burroughs glued the pieces into a new text not in an arbitrary order, but in a more meaningful way. The cutting method has found wide application among musicians. For example, David Bowie wrote the lyrics of some songs in this way, and Radiohead leader Thom Yorke mixed the lines in his hat to compose lyrics for all the songs on the "Kid A" album.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

What did the goat gesture mean before the era of rock and metal?

The goat gesture has existed for a long time as a magical sign against evil spirits. The main popularizer of this gesture among rockers and metalheads is Ronnie James Dio, the lead singer of Rainbow and Black Sabbath, who systematically showed it during concerts. According to Dio, his Italian grandmother often folded her fingers into a goat to ward off the evil eye. However, even before Dio, many musicians showed this gesture - for example, there are many photos where John Lennon does it.

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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

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. ... >>

Mining uranium from sea water 23.09.2012

At a recent meeting of the American Chemical Society in Philadelphia, a group of American scientists presented an original project to extract uranium from sea water. The scientists presented their calculations for mining uranium using a plastic adsorbent that can only capture 2 grams of uranium per kilogram of plastic.

Fossil and relatively easily accessible reserves of uranium on our planet are rapidly depleted. Therefore, scientists turned their attention to the oceans, which contain a huge amount of valuable material - 4,5 billion metric tons. However, this uranium is found in very low concentrations in sea water - 3,3 parts per billion. Therefore, the attractive idea of extracting uranium from sea water was just a beautiful theory for decades. Fortunately, modern technologies and materials for the first time can make this idea a commercially viable project.

The extraction of uranium using such material will look like this: an adsorbent is applied to the polymer substrate, after which the substrate is woven into a 60-meter "braid", which is taken out to the ocean by boat. "Spits" are attached to the bottom of the ocean, constructing a forest of artificial algae. After about 60 days, the boat returns, collects the adsorbent and takes it to the shore, where the uranium is eluted by traditional methods.

The adsorbent can be reused up to 6 times with a 5% drop in material efficiency with each reuse. These parameters have already been achieved by Japanese researchers and are real. In the future, the adsorbent can be used twice as many times, as well as reduce its cost. For example, dimethylformamide, which is used to wash polymers before being reshipped to the ocean, today accounts for 10% of the total cost of the entire offshore uranium mining system. So the prospects for reducing the cost of the process are great.

But even with today's advances, subsea mining can produce uranium at a cost of $1230 per kilogram—about 10 times more than conventional mining methods. So far this seems too high a price, but the cost of uranium is growing every year. At the same time, in the future, the cost of "marine" uranium can be reduced to $ 300. However, it should be borne in mind that millions of tons of plastic per year will need to be used to extract 5500 kilograms of uranium during the year.
