He is forced to revise this assessment when he comes across the cave dwellings of threatening ape-like creatures known as Morlocks, whose dark underground world he must explore to discover the terrible secrets of this fractured society, and the means of getting back to his own time. A biting ... |

Autonomous and embedded systems are the infrastructural fabric of modern technological society and are present as an almost imperceptible environment to each of us. Very soon after the advent of the electronic computer in the middle of the last century, the possibilities of digital control were realized as a substitute for human control over various processes. Accordingly, their use also began - first of all in an industrial environment and in military technologies - a still relatively limited application due to the then high price of the devices themselves, and also due to the need for complex adaptation of the ... |

Andy Warhol (1928 - 1987) is hailed as the most important proponent of the Pop art movement. A critical and creative observer of American society, he explored key themes of consumerism, materialism, media, and celebrity. Drawing on contemporary advertisements, comic strips, consumer products, and Hollywood’s most famous faces, Warhol proposed a radical reevaluation of what constituted artistic subject matter. Through Warhol, a Campbell’s soup can and Coca Cola bottle became as worthy of artistic status as any traditional still life. At the same time, Warhol reconfigured the role of the artist. Famously stating "I ... |

Сто години след убийството на Распутин в масовото съзнание той все още е олицетворение на злото, романтично-демоничен герой от попкултурата и образ с разнообразни превъплъщения в социалния, религиозния и политическия живот на съвременна Русия. Това е убийство, което слага край на династията Романови и на монархията въобще, като не само сбъдва думите на самия Распутин приживе, но и отваря път за радикални исторически промени в държавата и по света за десетилетия напред. Това убийство, парадоксално, е посрещнато с възхвали и възторг, с очакването, че така ще се решат проблемите на страната. Но Распутин не е причината за ... |
