What movie made Iggy Pop and Tom Waits start smoking again?

In one of the episodes of the film "Coffee and Cigarettes" starred Iggy Pop and Tom Waits. In the story, they smoke in celebration of quitting smoking. And shortly before filming, they really gave up this habit in real life. But in the process they got "dragged" and started smoking again. Upon learning of this, director Jim Jarmusch warned the other actors that if they did not smoke, he would rewrite their roles so that they did not have to appear in the frame with a cigarette.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

Why do Mexicans call Americans gringos?

One of the nicknames for Americans is gringo, especially often they are called that way in Mexico and other countries of Latin America. The term originated in Spain, where it was used for any foreigner who did not speak Spanish well. In all likelihood, the word "gringo" comes from "griego", that is, "Greek", which brings it closer to the English idiom regarding the incomprehensible speech "Greek to me".

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. ... >>

TSC103 - new high voltage current sense amplifier 30.12.2010

STMicroelectronics has launched the TSC103 high voltage current sense amplifier. This IC measures the small differential voltage across the shunt resistor and converts it into a proportional output voltage.

The gain is controlled by two input signals and can be set from 20V/V to 100V/V. The wide input common-mode voltage range, quiescent current, and small package of the TSSOP8 allow it to be used in a wide variety of applications. The input common-mode voltage and supply voltage are independent of each other.

The common mode voltage can vary from 2,9 to 70 V in single supply mode or can be shifted in case of dual supply mode. With a consumption lower than 360 µA and practically zero incoming leakage current in standby mode, the power consumption is reduced to zero.
