What did the goat gesture mean before the era of rock and metal?

The goat gesture has existed for a long time as a magical sign against evil spirits. The main popularizer of this gesture among rockers and metalheads is Ronnie James Dio, the lead singer of Rainbow and Black Sabbath, who systematically showed it during concerts. According to Dio, his Italian grandmother often folded her fingers into a goat to ward off the evil eye. However, even before Dio, many musicians showed this gesture - for example, there are many photos where John Lennon does it.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Memory cards with backup function 13.12.2013

Sony has released new SD memory cards that the manufacturer says can do more than serve as temporary storage or be used to transfer pictures from a camera. Backup SD Cards are endowed with an automatic backup function, eliminating the need for the user to use an external drive for this purpose.

Of course, the secret of the cards is only in the presence of the corresponding software on them. After inserting the card into the slot for the first time, the user is prompted to install the software on the computer and select folders whose contents will be automatically copied to the card.

When the card is in the slot, backup is performed automatically as soon as the program detects data changes. The current state of the user is informed by the notes During backup and Backup completed, displayed next to the file names.

To protect the data on the card from unauthorized access, the user can enable AES encryption with a 256-bit key.

The price of SNBA16, SNBA32 and SNBA64 cards with 16, 32 and 64 GB capacity is $28, $53 and $100 respectively.
