What literary work is wrongly attributed to Hemingway?

Hemingway is often credited with writing the shortest poignant story: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." The writer allegedly made a bet with friends that he would write a finished work of six words, and won 10 dollars from them. In fact, actual advertisements for children's shoes or strollers appeared in American newspapers long before Hemingway's writing career began. Various authors have published articles discussing such announcements, describing them as short stories, and the story of Hemingway's bet did not appear in print until the 1990s.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Who drew the first cartoon?

Today we do not consider caricature as a phenomenon of great art. But once it was. During the Renaissance, a caricature was understood to mean the initial life-size sketch of a large work of art, such as a mural.

When newspapers and magazines began to use pictures to illustrate news and editorial opinion to amuse readers a little, they were also called cartoons. But until newspapers appeared, the artists Hogarth, Daumier and Rowlandson created series of pictures on the same topic. Sometimes such a series described the adventures of the hero. They were the founders of modern cartoons and comics.

Numerous cartoon magazines appeared in the 1900th and early 1902th centuries. In Paris, such a magazine was called "Kavardak", in London - "Punch", which can be translated as "Petrushka". And, perhaps, in these publications, the idea arose to regularly publish cartoons in all newspapers and magazines. The first page of humor appeared in the early XNUMXs. Richard Outcolt, the artist who created Brown's Booty, published it in XNUMX. It proved to be so popular that kids all over the country wanted to dress up in the style of Booty Brown.

Another early series of cartoons was titled "Papa's Education". It was created in 1912, translated into at least 30 languages and published in more than 70 countries. To keep the action moving forward and cover some of the most beloved comics, one publisher published a series of them in a book. The idea quickly spread, with dozens of comics re-edited each month.

Now comics are used for educational purposes. History, scientific problems, classic stories and novels are presented in the same form.

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.

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. ... >>

Analog Devices MEMS switches instead of relays 14.11.2016

According to Analog Devices, it has achieved a breakthrough in signal switching technology: it has created a long-awaited replacement for the electromechanical relay that has been used in electronics for more than a century.

RF-MEMS switches are smaller, faster, more reliable than their electromechanical predecessors, and consume less power. Moreover, they allow you to bypass many of the limitations inherent in the relay. Note that we are not talking about laboratory development, but about serial products.

A series of fundamentally new products was opened by the ADI ADGM1304 and ADGM1004 models with one channel switched to four positions. The first model is capable of switching signals up to 14 GHz, the second - up to 13 GHz. There are two crystals in the switch case. One is the actual sealed switch with metal contacts and electrostatic control, and the second is the power and control circuit. The switching time is 30 µs, the resistance in the on direction is 1,6 ohms.

Switch resource - at least 1 billion switching cycles. According to Analog Devices, this is an order of magnitude more than the typical life of the relay.

The switches are designed for a supply voltage of 3,1-3,3 V. The dimensions of the ADGM1304 are 5 x 4 x 0,95 mm, the ADGM1004 - 5 x 4 x 1,45 mm. The switches are 95% smaller than their predecessors, 30 times faster and consume 10 times less power.

The price of ADGM1304 is $36,58 each, ADGM1004 is $39,34. The first model is already available for purchase. The second is so far only in the form of trial samples, and it will be commercially available starting in February 2017.
