Which musician was accused of copyright infringement for performing silence?

In 2001, English singer-songwriter Mike Butt released an album of cover versions of classics, including the track "A One Minute Silence" - it was one minute of silence. Soon, the copyright holders of the works of John Cage, known for his play "4? 33?", which also consists of one silence, announced their intention to sue Butt for copyright infringement. Batt said that his silence is completely different and has nothing to do with Cage's silence, but was forced to agree on an out-of-court settlement of the issue, paying a six-figure sum as compensation.

What flowers in Sarajevo remind of the war many years after its end?

When Sarajevo was under siege in the 1990s, shells exploded in the city every now and then. But the craters on the asphalt in places where people died from shells were filled not with new asphalt, but with red tar. Therefore, even many years after the end of the war, you can see the scars from it, nicknamed "Sarajevo roses", although their number decreases every year.

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. ... >>

Explosives will improve the safety of electric cars 01.10.2019

Bosch has developed a new system that is designed to reduce the risk of electric vehicle battery fire and electric shock to people in the event of an accident.

Many potential buyers of vehicles with an electric propulsion system have expressed concern that in the event of an accident, metal parts of the car body could be energized. And this can become an obstacle in the way of saving people. In addition, in such a situation, the risk of fire increases.

Bosch proposes to solve the problem by using small explosive packs. Such charges in the event of a traffic accident will instantly cut off entire sections of cables going to the battery pack. As a result, the car will be completely de-energized.

Explosive packages can be activated by signals from various on-board sensors - for example, from airbag sensors. The CG912 microchip, which was originally designed to control the airbags, will be able to control the operation of the system.

Breaking the cables leading to the batteries will eliminate the possibility of electric shock to people and reduce the likelihood of a battery fire.
