The classic acoustic piano keyboard has seven octaves of black and white keys, laid out chromatically. Whether the piano is an upright or a grand piano, the keyboard layout and size will almost always be the same. Older piano keyboards were traditionally made from ivory and/or ebony, but modern pianos are usually made with plastic key tops (a plastic coating over a wooden key), or an imitation ivory material called ivorene.

Ebony is a dense black wood.  A hard, heavy, durable wood, it looks lustrous black.  Ivory is a term for dentine, most of the time used as a material for art or manufacturing.  It has availed itself to many ornamental and practical uses.

I have chosen to do it, at the end.

This was a news which posted on 2nd April 2012, what makes me hesitate? Usually, I do post the very latest news, or, I wrote what I want to share thereupon.

At this time, I finally choose to re-post this “news” because I have aware that there are many people still missing Steve Jobs, like me, we do miss him, we love him, a still.

Ashton Kutcher to play Steve Jobs in new US film

Ashton Kutcher is to play Steve Jobs in a new independent film about the late Apple chief’s life, a spokeswoman for the “Two and a Half Men” actor said Monday.

“Jobs” will tell the story of his life from wayward hippie to co-founder of Apple and revered creative entrepreneur, according to industry daily Variety, whose report was confirmed as accurate by the spokeswoman.

Twitter trailblazer Kutcher, who recently split from actress Demi Moore, is attached to the project to be directed by Joshua Michael Stern based on a script by Matt Whiteley, it said.

Production is due to start in May while Kutcher is taking a break from “Two and a Half Men,” the hit TV series he joined last year after Charlie Sheen was sacked following a very public row with the producer.

Major studio Sony Pictures is also developing a movie about Jobs, based on the bestselling book by Walter Isaacson that was released after the Apple chief’s death last October.

Kutcher, 34, was best known for TV shows including “That 70s Show” and “Punk’d” before he replaced Sheen last May. He and Moore, both Twitter early adopters, announced their separation in November.

You might have heard about this App recently, especially since it’s quickly becoming one of the most downloaded apps from the past few weeks. The “Pictionary” for iOS and Androidis a simple and intuitive game that tests your artistic skills with a friend or random opponent.

The game is very simple, players can select one out of three drawing words, playing a painting creation on the drawing, and then send to a friend, coins is the prize for who can hit the word right. Game fun estimated the words, you can enjoy the whole process of drawing by the friends, and the rough drawing art work as a mockery!

The developers of “Draw Something” had a clever decision that connects this game App to the Facebook as the new social platform for users to establish a set of elements of the game, App download has exceeded 10 million. The OMGPOP the game development company CEO Dan Porter said, “Draw Something” has become a cultural phenomenon, the average up to five hundred thousand per hour global news about the game, and the creation of drawings total of nearly five hundred million!

“Draw Something” have the free version and the 0.99 $ versions, played the free version are addictive, but also find the words to repeat, it will then purchase the paid version, vocabulary of thousands of exclusive you draw, which is the marketing strategy.

By poking high-tech instruments through the wall of one priceless 16th-century mural in Italy, researchers announced Monday that they think they’ve located the first “encouraging” evidence that a second masterpiece—this one a lost Leonardo da Vinci—is hidden beneath.

(See pictures of the search for the lost Leonardo.)

Using a tiny camera, the researchers snapped pictures of a telltale hollow space behind Giorgio Vasari’s “Battle of Marciano”—and a brick wall—in the Hall of the 500 in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence‘s city hall. (Video: 360-degree laser scan of the Hall of 500.)

They also uncovered black pigment and lacquer used in painting—clues that the lost Leonardo may have long ago been saved from destruction.

The findings are inconclusive for now—the Leonardo da Vinci investigation was interrupted by political and public outcry—but they’re the first tantalizing leads in a mystery that spans more than four centuries.

The lost work in question is “The Battle of Anghiari” and may stretch more than 20 feet (6 meters) long and 10 feet (3 meters) tall.

According to historical records, Italian statesman Piero Soderini in 1502 commissioned Leonardo da Vinci to paint the scene of Italian knights defeating Milanese forces in 1440 on Tuscany’s plain of Anghiari.

Leonardo, it’s said, used the opportunity to experiment with a new oil-painting technique, but it ended in failure (five Leonardo da Vinci facts).

See more pictures of the search for the lost Leonardo >>

 

In the 1550s Vasari was hired to remodel the Hall of 500—named after the 500 members of the Republic of Florence’s Grand Council—and paint several enormous murals, each dozens of feet high.

One mural was to be painted over Leonardo’s unfinished work, but at least one tale describes Vasari as a Leonardo admirer who couldn’t bring himself to destroy the work.

Maurizio Seracini, an art diagnostician at the University of California, San Diego, and a National Geographic Society fellow, has searched for clues about the painting for 36 years. (The Society owns National Geographic News.)

“Since the very first day of my research, the goal was to find where ‘The Battle of Anghiari’ could have been painted … and if it’s still there,” Seracini says in an upcoming National Geographic Channel documentary titled Finding the Lost da Vinci. (Video: Preview Finding the Lost da Vinci.)

“I am convinced it’s there.”

(Also see “In Search of Leonardo’s Lost Painting.”)

Lost Leonardo: Seek and We Shall Find?

Admiring artists reproduced Leonardo da Vinci’s lost mural before its fate was lost in the sands of time (pictures of the Leonardo reproductions)—one of the most famous reproductions of the lost Leonardo being in Paris’s Louvre Museum.

Although stunning, the reproductions are not Leonardo’s original. The copies almost certainly leave out details lost by shrinking a wall-size mural onto a canvas, and in some cases, it’s thought, entire characters have been left out.

As a result, researchers such as Seracini have searched high and low—quite literally—for clues.

A break came in the 1970s, when Seracini climbed a scaffold in front of Vasari’s painting and spied two words inscribed in a flag: “cerca trova,” which translates to “seek and you shall find.” Seracini took it as a cryptic cue that Vasari had built a false wall in front of the Leonardo.

A team led by Seracini eventually got permission to scan the entire Hall of 500 with high-frequency surface-penetrating radar. The scanning revealed some sort of hollow space—only behind the section of mural with the inscription.

To peek behind Vasari’s fresco, the team planned to drill 14 strategically located centimeter-wide (half-inch) holes in the work. But an outcry ensued after journalists publicized the project.

“It quickly became very, very political. But they were making little boreholes some 30 to 40 feet (9 to 12 meters) above the ground,” said art historian Martin Kempof the University of Oxford, who wasn’t involved in the work.

“In my opinion, that kind of damage can be repaired invisibly.”

(See “Lady With a Secret”: National Geographic magazine on another potential lost Leonardo.)

Plan B

Despite the public firestorm, National Geographic’s Seracini and his team were given a week to continue their work in late 2011—but not in the 14 spots they’d hoped to investigate.

To avoid damaging original portions of Vasari’s painting, museum curators permitted Seracini and his team to drill only into existing cracks and recently restored spots.

Many of the locations danced on the periphery of the hollow space, but the researchers struck gold: a hollow space behind 6.7 inches (17 centimeters) of fresco and brick.

They inserted an endoscopic camera into the void and took video of rough masonry work as well as spots that appear to have been stroked by a brush (more on the science of the search for the lost Leonardo da Vinci).

Grit removed from the hole was analyzed with x-rays, and the results suggested it contained traces of black pigment.

Based on the x-ray data, Seracini thinks the black pigments are similar to those found in brown glazes of Leonardo’s “Mona Lisa” and “St. John the Baptist.” (Read about the struggle to save Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” from warping.)

Red flakes also pulled from inside the wall could be lacquer—something that wouldn’t be present on a normal plaster wall.

That Seracini found components unique to Renaissance painting leads him to call the work “encouraging evidence,” yet he bemoaned the fact that further samples couldn’t be collected in the time allotted.

“[U]nless I get hold of a piece of it, and prove that it is real paint, I cannot say anything definite, and that’s very frustrating,” Seracini says in the documentary.

(See pictures of the first stages of the search for the lost Leonardo.)

One of the Most Famous Discoveries of a Century?

Peter Siddons, a physicist at Brookhaven National Laboratory who has verified famous works of art (including a painting by Rembrandt) with particle accelerators, said it seems pretty clear something is behind the Vasari mural.

“There doesn’t seem to be enough details out there yet, but based on what has been shared so far, I believe there is a painting. They found paint and they found brushstrokes,” Siddons said.

“To jump and say it’s a Leonardo da Vinci? That’s another question.

“Still, someone took the trouble to build this false wall” he said. “I certainly think that’s intriguing.”

Oxford’s Kemp deemed the results interesting but far from conclusive, since wealthy Renaissance Florentines usually painted their walls for decoration—so the pigments may be from that, not Leonardo’s work.

“We can’t even be certain which of the long walls Leonardo painted on, as the early accounts are not explicit by any means,” he said. “Still, this is a suggestive result at this stage to say, Let’s go on a bit further.”

Seracini’s investigation is on hold again and may not proceed until further political issues in Italy are resolved.

If and when the investigation continues—and if the team recovers evidence of the work—Kemp said it will be one for the record books.

“I think this needs to be resolved. We can’t just leave it hanging in the air,” Kemp said.

“If it’s discovered, it would be one of the most famous discoveries of a century.”

Avoid caffeine
It may be through habit that one of the first things we do when we get up is go straight for the caffeine hit, but this should be avoided if possible. Since your body has been several hours without fluid, what you need is a proper rehydrating drink such as freshly squeezed orange or grapefruit juice. A cup of hot water with a touch of lemon and honey is also a good way to start the day. If you can, add some ginger – this acts as an extra boost your circulatory system.

Deep breathe
There is often a sense of anxiety ahead of a stressful day and sometimes we are far from relaxed when we get up. To get your body into a state of relaxation, it is important to control the functions of the body, like the beating of the heart and breathing properly. A good method is to try 2:1 breathing, this is easy and really effective – you gently slow the rate of exhalation so that you are exhaling twice as long as you are inhaling.

Surroundings
Your surroundings can have an impact on your mood from the moment you wake. If you wake up surrounded by clutter, then that is hardly going to get you off to the right start. Keep your bedroom as clutter free as possible. You can also pay attention to your decor – certain colours can be good for your mood, choose something that uplifts you. If possible have some green plants in your bedroom – a little bit of greenery can do wonders to enhance your mood and positivity.

Good posture
Your body position is fundamental, bad posture has the effect of limiting the flow of oxygen through your body, meaning you are not getting the maximum benefit, and waking your body up will be a real struggle. Pay attention to straightening your posture, feet flat on the floor, hold your stomach in and extend up through your spine. These small movements will work wonders and act to relieve tension before you get out and face the day ahead.

Exercising in the morning
Although many of us probably don’t feel like it, a bit of morning exercise will help. We are not talking about a full-on several-mile run, just some activity to increase your body temperature, and get your metabolism and enzyme activity kick-started. This could involve just doing a few basic stretches or even jogging on the spot. If you do fancy taking on something more energetic in the morning, then ensure that you have thoroughly warmed-up.

Breakfast
Is this the most important meal of the day? Yes! After a long sleep, breakfast is responsible for replacing your liver glycogen, which helps you stay focused and switched-on throughout the morning. Choose your breakfast carefully – sugary breakfast cereals only give you a quick hit and can rapidly wear off. The best bet is to eat some protein combined with carbohydrate to help maintain your alertness throughout the morning. If you find yourself hungry before you have even reached work, you might want to consider eating part of your breakfast at home, and then preparing the remainder to have at work.

CEO Tim Cook, who replaced the late founder Steve Jobs, began by proclaiming a “post-PC revolution,” led by the troika of the iPad, iPhone and iPod. The company says it sold 172 million of these devices last year, and a total of over 300 million devices running the Apple operating system.

He then moved on to the big news of the day: the new iPad, which has four times the resolution of its predecessor and 44 percent better color saturation. The new device, which starts at $499, can also record video at extraordinary quality and boosted 4G download speeds. These upgrades come with amped up computing power and a 10-hour battery life.

Apple did not offer a live video stream of the event, but so many technology publications live-blogged the unveiling that it was possible to recreate every moment of the presentation at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center. Most of those present appeared to be sufficiently wowed by the demonstrations, which included immersive games in stunning resolution. “The game demo is showing a jet flying through the air, you can see the heat waves from the jet engines,” Wired wrote.

The announcement comes at a time when Apple is racing to continue to distinguish itself from competing tablets. As CNET noted earlier in the week, many alternatives were already more technologically impressive than the iPad2. Many, like Amazon’s $200 Kindle Fire, are also much cheaper. Judging by the announcement, Apple is banking on users paying a premium price for the company’s distinctive, often-mesmerizing combination of advanced hardware and high-quality apps.  Cook compared the new experience to a Twitter application on a competing tablet running Android, the open-source alternative operating system. “It looks like a blown-up smartphone app, because that’s. exactly. what. it. is,” the New York Times quoted him as saying, stressing his emphasis on the point.

Like proprietary video game consoles, Apple’s closed operating system means app developers are developing just for one series of similar devices, not the broad range of hardware running flavors of Android. While many apps are available on both systems, software developers generally have to write separate versions for the two operating systems. Windows also has a growing mobile platform. While dazzling hardware makes for better presentations, the tug-of-war over apps and systems is arguably more important to the future of the iPad’s success.

Red, white, and green are the colors of the national liberation army in Mexico. The central emblem is the Aztec pictogram for Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City), the center of their empire. It recalls the legend that inspired the Aztecs to settle on what was originally a lake-island. The form of the coat of arms was most recently revised in 1968. A ribbon in the national colors is at the bottom of the coat of arms. Throughout history, the flag has changed four times, as the design of the coat of arms and the length-width ratios of the flag have been modified. However, the coat of arms has had the same features throughout: an eagle, holding a serpent in its talon, is perched on top of a prickly pear cactus; the cactus is situated on a rock that rises above a lake. The coat of arms is derived from an Aztec legend that their gods told them to build a city where they spot an eagle on a nopal eating a serpent, which is now Mexico City. The current national flag, the Fourth National Flag, is also used as the Mexican naval ensign by ships registered in Mexico.

La bandera de México es un vertical tricolor de verde, blanco y rojo con el escudonacional de armas cargadas en el centro de la franja blanca. Si bien el significado de los colores ha cambiado con el tiempo, estos tres colores fueron adoptados por la independencia de México de España lo siguiente durante la Primera Guerra del país de la Independencia, y posteriormente Primer Imperio Mexicano. La bandera actual fue adoptada en 1968, pero el diseño general ha sido usado desde 1821, cuando la PrimeraBandera Nacional fue creada. La ley actual de los símbolos nacionales, la Ley deNacional de Armas, la bandera y el himno, que rige el uso de la bandera nacional ha estado en vigor desde 1984.

Rojo, blanco y verde son los colores del Ejército de Liberación Nacional en México. El emblema central es el pictograma azteca de Tenochtitlán (hoy Ciudad de México), el centro de su imperio. Se recuerda la leyenda que inspiró a los aztecas para establecerse en lo que originalmente era un lago de la isla. La forma del escudo de armas fue revisado por última vez en 1968. Una cinta con los colores nacionales se encuentra en la parte inferior del escudo de armas. A lo largo de la historia, la bandera ha cambiado en cuatro ocasiones, como el diseño del escudo de armas y las relaciones de longitud-anchura de la bandera se han modificado. Sin embargo, el escudo de armas ha tenido las mismas características en todo: un águila, sosteniendo una serpiente en su garra, estáencaramado en lo alto de un nopal, el cactus se encuentra en una roca que se eleva por encima de un lago. El escudo de armas se deriva de una leyenda azteca que sus diosesles dijo que para construir una ciudad en la que observar un águila sobre un nopaldevorando una serpiente, que ahora es la Ciudad de México. La actual bandera nacional,la Bandera Nacional En cuarto lugar, también se utiliza como la bandera mexicana naval de buques registrados en México.
