Who initiated the changes in the Animal Farm cartoon compared to the original story?

In the 1954 cartoon "Animal Farm" significant changes were made compared to the original story. This is most obvious in the ending: if in the book the animals are watching the pigs playing cards with the people who have come to visit and can no longer determine who is who, then in the corresponding episode of the cartoon there are no people, and the animals overthrow the pigs. Thus, if Orwell's communism turns out to be no better than capitalism (the original order on a human-run farm), then in the picture communism is shown as clearly the worst alternative. The initiator of these amendments was the CIA, whose agents ensured that after the death of the writer, the rights to film adaptation and production of the cartoon were bought out by the right people.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Where and when was aviation born?

The official birthday of aviation is December 17, 1903, when American inventors, the Wright brothers, made four flights in the sand dunes near Kitty Hawk in North Carolina (USA) in the Flyer 1 biplane of their own design.

During the first flight, the plane, piloted by Orville Wright, stayed in the air for 12 seconds and, having covered a distance of 36,5 meters, fell to the ground. During the longest flight, a biplane piloted by Wilber Wright flew 260 meters in 59 seconds and landed softly.

However, not everyone agrees with the priority of the brothers Orville and Wilber Wright. The French believe that the palm should be awarded to Clement Ader, whose aircraft in 1890 took off the ground by 20 centimeters. New Zealanders proudly remember Richard Piars, who in March 1903 flew 135 meters in a monoplane made of bamboo and canvas and crashed into a fence.

Until 1942, the priority of the Wright brothers was not recognized even in their own country. In protest, Orville Wright handed over his aircraft to the British Museum in 1928, and only in 1948 this relic returned to its homeland.

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>

Any clothes will become a computer 12.07.2015

When the French inventor Joseph Marie Jacquard invented the loom for patterned fabrics, which later became known as the Jacquard machine, he did not suspect that his surname would become a household name for a special type of fabric. And even more so, he did not suspect that "jacquard" would become the name of a secret joint project between Google and Levi's.

However, it is no longer a secret. At the just-completed Google I/O 2015 annual developer conference, representatives from both companies announced "Project Jacquard". It is being implemented by Google's Advanced Technology and Projects division, which is responsible for Project Ara, an initiative to develop a free open hardware platform for building a modular smartphone, and Project Tango, a new type of smartphone and tablet with 3D visualization of the surrounding space.

The goal of Project Jacquard is the invisible integration of computers into objects, materials and clothing. As a result, any household items, from furniture to sweaters, can be used as an interactive surface with their own trackpads, buttons, etc. To do this, it was necessary to create special conductor threads from ultra-thin metal alloys and materials such as synthetic cotton, polyester or silk and weave them into ordinary fabric, and in such a way that it could not be distinguished from "normal" fabric.

Items will receive information directly from the surface of the material used to create them and transmit it to a nearby smartphone or computer using a low-power Wi-Fi system. To do this, in addition to fabric, Project Jacquard engineers have developed button-sized microsensors that are able to capture touches and various gestures and transmit them to another device.

By the way, Google specialists were not the first to come up with the idea of "smart fabric". Last year, Fudan University scientists announced the creation of a lithium-ion technology for "battery fiber" using carbon nanotubes. But Google is likely to be the first to bring the matter to commercial use. What can you wish for another Google project called Soli, based on the ideas of Lev Theremin, who in 1919 invented the theremin, a musical instrument "controlled" with gestures. As well as the future Google gadget.
