How you can use a typewriter to work on your PC
A U.S. designer has created a USB Typewriter conversion kit that allows computer users to type on their machines using an old-school typewriter keyboard. The kit plugs into the USB port on a laptop, monitor or iPad via a sensor board.

Inventor Jack Zylkin said: 'It's a new and ground-breaking innovation in the field of obsolescence.'
Mr Zylkin sells complete kits, which include the typewriter itself.
They retail for between $699 and $899 depending on the model. Mr Zylkin also sells do it yourself kits, starting at $74. The modification is 'easy to install.
'It involves no messy wiring, and does not change the outward appearance of the typewriter (except for the usb adapter itself, which is mounted in the rear of the machine),' the statement continues.
The high-tech typewriters are marketed to 'lovers of the look, feel, and quality of old fashioned manual typewriters,' who can now use them as keyboards for any USB-capable computer.
The machine, introduced in July of 2010, has since become a hit with retro-style aficionados, receiving 100 per cent positive feedback.

The Largest Structure Made of Clay
This mosque is located in the city of Djenne, Mali. 90 percent of the population of Mali are Muslims. The first mosque was built on this spot in the 13 th century, and modern, if that word is appropriate, the form it had already in 1907. Unfortunately, it can only visit the Muslims. This change was made in 1996, the year, after Vogue magazine arranged in the walls of the mosque with half-naked photo shoot models.
The entire building is built of bricks svoebraznyh - banks, made of clay, manure and straw. The consequence of this is the fragility of such an architecture. Therefore, each year after the rainy season, everyone is busy restoring the walls of the mosque.
