Why wasn't the Beatles singing Yesterday on the 1965 English hit parade?

When Paul McCartney recorded the song "Yesterday", professional musicians from the accompanying string quartet called the composition a seven-bar non-square construction and said that music was not written that way. After the recording, the other members of the band questioned whether it should even be included on the album and insisted that the song not be released separately. As a result, she entered the British hit parade performed by singer Matt Monroe, who released his own version of the hit. In other countries, the song was released as a single and almost everywhere soared to the top of the charts.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

 Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Is the climate changing as a result of human activities?

The more time passes, the more we become convinced of this. Over the past 100 years, warming has averaged 1 °C, which is 60% of warming over the entire period of active human activity.

The gases formed during the combustion of fossil fuels, mainly carbon dioxide (carbon dioxide), contribute to the development of the greenhouse effect: the Earth's surface gives off an insufficient amount of heat into space and overheats. Of course, this is also facilitated by volcanic activity (6%), fluctuations in solar activity (4%) and a number of other factors (30%) that do not directly depend on humans.

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. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. 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. ... >>

A polymer that heals itself 16.10.2018

Self-healing materials have been known for a long time. Such materials can be, for example, polymers, inside of which capsules or channels with a liquid substance are located: when a thing is damaged, they fill the damaged area and quickly harden.

There are several other approaches to the creation of such materials, but almost all of them, one way or another, are associated with the presence of active substances inside the object. Therefore, the solution to the problem proposed by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) turned out to be rather unusual - they created a substance that takes material for recovery directly from the air.

It is rather problematic to build something out of air, the assortment of "building material" is too scarce: nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and water, although nature can overcome these difficulties. The researchers just peeped part of their technology in plants, which learned how to process carbon dioxide into complex organic substances in the process of photosynthesis. Chemists at MIT isolated chloroplasts from living cells, placed them in a polymer gel matrix, and provided them with an enzyme and monomer molecules.

The result was the following: the chloroplast in the matrix absorbs carbon dioxide from the air and, under the influence of light, turns it into a number of products, the main of which is glucose. Further, under the action of the enzyme glucose oxidase, glucose is converted into gluconolactone, and the resulting compound, in turn, already reacts with the monomer (aminopropyl methacrylamide), resulting in the formation of a polymer. It turns out that the original gel matrix absorbs carbon dioxide from the air and includes it in its polymer structure, thereby independently gaining mass from an external source.

As the researchers themselves say, their work so far is just a demonstration of a fundamentally new concept of a material capable of self-healing.
