What artist, inspired by the work of another, completely remade his fresco?

One day, Raphael agreed with the key keeper of the Sistine Chapel and entered it to look at the process of Michelangelo's work on the ceiling painting. Being greatly impressed, Raphael returned to his fresco of the prophet Isaiah in the Church of St. Augustine, scraped it off and painted it again in a different manner, imitating Michelangelo.

What knots do sailors use to measure speed?

A knot is an off-system unit of ship speed used in the maritime practice of many states (including Russia), equal to one nautical mile per hour (1,852 kilometers per hour, or 0,514 meters per second).

The term "knot" originated in the era of the sailing fleet, when the speed of the vessel was measured by a hand log, the log of which was divided into segments of 1/120 nautical mile (about 15,4 meters), indicated by tied knots. The lag sector was thrown over the side of the moving ship and, holding in place by the resistance of the water, pulled the laglin behind it from the ship. The number of laglin knots drawn from the lag view in 1/120 hour (0,5 minute) corresponds to the ship's speed in knots, that is, in miles per hour.

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. ... >>

Samsung WB2200 60x optical zoom camera 08.01.2014

Launched in July last year, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 digital camera was the first in the world to offer users a 60x optical zoom. Six months later, a camera with such an impressive optical zoom appeared at Samsung. The novelty, which debuted at the beginning of CES 2014, was named WB2200.

Samsung WB2200 received a lens that covers a range of focal lengths from 20 to 1200 mm, the maximum aperture changes from F / 2,8 to F / 5,9 as the focal length changes. The developers, of course, did not forget about the presence of an optical stabilization system.

The camera is equipped with a 1/2,3-inch BSI CMOS image sensor with a resolution of 16,3 million pixels, an electronic viewfinder, Wi-Fi and NFC wireless modules. NFC is used to quickly pair the camera and a mobile device (smartphone or tablet), while Wi-Fi is used to transfer pictures to mobile devices or by e-mail, as well as to update the device firmware.

Display Samsung WB2200 is characterized by a diagonal of 3 inches and a resolution of 480 x 320 pixels.

Samsung WB2200 allows you to record Full HD video at 30 fps, when you lower the resolution to 384 x 288 pixels, 240 fps becomes available. When taking photos, intelligent auto and full manual modes are available. SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards are used to store photo and video materials, and AV and HDMI video outputs are used to display pictures on a large screen.

The design of the WB2200, which is non-standard for a compact camera, attracts attention. As the creators note, this form of the case provides a more comfortable grip, and, in addition, allows you to place a high-capacity battery.
