Who, while not very similar to Kubrick, has been successfully impersonating him for a long time?

In his later years, Stanley Kubrick rarely appeared in public, little was known about his personal life, which Briton Alan Conway took advantage of in the early 1990s. The swindler didn't look much like the director and, in contrast, didn't wear a beard, but that didn't stop him from giving out "exclusive interviews" on Kubrick's behalf, promising many celebrities roles in the next films, and letting them pay for dinners at restaurants, promising that the film studio then compensates for the costs. Kubrick himself, having learned about Conway from his lawyer, was fascinated by the idea. The pretender died a few months before Kubrick's death, and in both cases the cause of death was a heart attack.

Which Roman emperor's wife ran a brothel and worked there as a prostitute herself?

The wife of the Roman emperor Claudius, Messalina, was so lustful and depraved that she amazed her contemporaries, who were accustomed to many things.

She even had a competition with another famous prostitute and won it by serving 50 clients to 25.

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. ... >>

Leg exercises positively affect the health of the brain and nervous system 03.06.2018

Scientists from Milan State University (Italy) conducted an experiment in which several mice moved only with the help of their front paws for 28 days. The rodents continued to eat and move normally. They did not experience stress (otherwise the experiment would not have given accurate results). Nearly a month later, biologists examined a region of the brain - the subventricular zone, which in many mammals is responsible for maintaining the health of nerve cells. In the same area, neural stem cells produce new neurons.

The experiment showed that limited physical activity reduced the number of neural stem cells by 70 percent compared to a control group of mice that were allowed to walk on all fours. In addition, both neurons and oligodendrocytes (special support cells that support nerve cells) did not fully mature when exercise was significantly reduced.

Research shows that as you work (especially in heavy weight exercise), your leg muscles send signals to your brain that are vital for producing healthy nerve cells that are essential for your brain and nervous system. If exercise is done infrequently, the body experiences difficulties and cannot create new nerve cells - the very "building blocks" that allow us to cope with stress and adapt to the difficult challenges in our lives. "It's no coincidence that we have to be active: walk, run, squat, sit and use our leg muscles to lift things," says Dr. Adami.

The researchers also analyzed individual cells and found that exercise restriction reduces the amount of oxygen in the body, which creates an anaerobic environment and alters metabolism. Decreased exercise also appears to affect two genes, one of which, CDK5Rap1, is very important for the health of mitochondria, the body's "powerhouse" that synthesizes ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which plays an important role in energy and substance metabolism.

These results shed light on several important health issues, from cardiovascular disease that results from a sedentary lifestyle, to diseases such as spinal muscular atrophy, multiple sclerosis, and motor neurone disease.
