Why did the poets not like Mayakovsky for writing poems with a ladder?

When Mayakovsky introduced his famous verse "ladder", fellow poets accused him of cheating - after all, poets were then paid for the number of lines, and Mayakovsky received 2-3 times more for poems of a similar length.

What is incense made from?

Frankincense is a resin and spice substance that emits a pleasant smell when burned. Resin is produced by plants. Frankincense got its name from the name of the resin of a certain tree, but other resins can also be used. Frankincense can be made from a wide variety of substances, such as bark, wood and tree roots, aromatic herbs and plants, seeds, flowers, fruits that give off a fragrant smell. The custom of smoking incense is very ancient. It is distributed throughout the world. Initially, it was used in religious ceremonies, ceremonies for fumigation and purification of sacrifices on the altar.

Among Jews who worship the second book of the Old Testament, Exodus, the smoking of incense was a rite that was ordered to be performed. It was part of the commemoration ceremony, funeral service. Frankincense was used by many peoples, including the ancient Egyptians, Romans, Hindus, Chinese, Persians, Aztecs, and Incas. The Catholic Church began to use frankincense extensively around the XNUMXth century.

Today, the Latin and Greek churches are fumigated with incense during worship. The Roman Catholic Church uses it at solemn masses, processions, funerals, and during the consecration of churches. The Anglican Church at one time abandoned the use of incense, but returned to it again in the middle of the XNUMXth century. As you can see, incense smoking plays an important role in human religious rites.

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 ... >>

Sony is phasing out CD and DVD drives 08.09.2012

Sony Corporation announced its intention to curtail the production of optical disc drives by March 2013, reports PCMag citing The Asahi Shimbun. Sony Optiarc, a subsidiary of Sony that manufactures CD and DVD drives for personal computers, will cease operations entirely by March next year, the sources said.

As a result of the plant's closure, most of its approximately 400 employees, including about 300 working outside of Japan, will lose their jobs as part of an early retirement program. Sony Optiarc was established in 2006 with NEC Corporation. In 2008, NEC exited the stake and Sony became 100% owner of the business.

After recording a net loss of 2010 billion yen ($2011 billion) at the end of the 457-5,8 financial year, Sony Corporation launched a restructuring program, intending to get rid of unprofitable divisions and concentrate on several key areas, including the gaming business. The closure of Sony Optiarc is part of that plan. All in all, by March 2013, Sony plans to cut staff by about 10 thousand employees. To date, the corporation has already fired several thousand people.

Sony Optiarc owns approximately 10-15% of the global optical drive market, and the company's annual sales are in the tens of billions of yen. However, the company slipped into a loss due to a decrease in demand for laptops, the drives for which it produces, and due to increasing competition from foreign manufacturers.

Sony announced last week that it would relocate Sony Mobile's headquarters from Sweden to Japan and lay off approximately 1 employees. The phasing out of optical drives, according to PCMag, is one of the final steps in Sony's restructuring. In addition to the gaming business, Sony plans to focus on signal processors, cameras, sensors and lenses.

The news comes amid rumors that Apple's next-generation iMac and Mac Pro models will be devoid of built-in optical drives for the first time in nearly 20 years. Apple has already ditched the DVD drive in the latest MacBook Pro with Retina display and earlier in the Mac mini. In January 2011, it was reported that Sony was closing one of its largest CD manufacturing plants, citing declining demand for the media.
