Vinci (board game) Vinci is a board game designed by Philippe Keyaerts. It resembles a diceless variant of "Risk" with variable special abilities and an original decline mechanic, and is also similar in some ways to "History of the World". The game's name, pronounced "Vinchi", means "to be conquered" in Latin. In 2009, the game's mechanics were re-implemented with several changes and a fantasy-oriented theme as "Small World", also credited to Keyaerts, and published by Days of Wonder.

Madonna of the Yarnwinder The Madonna of the Yarnwinder (Italian: "Madonna dei Fusi" , “Madonna of the Spindles”) is a subject depicted by Leonardo da Vinci in at least one, and perhaps two paintings begun in 1499 or later. Leonardo was recorded as being at work on one such picture in Florence in 1501 for Florimond Robertet, a secretary to King Louis XII of France. This may have been delivered to the French court in 1507, though scholars are divided on this point. The subject is known today from several versions of which two, called the Buccleuch Madonna and the Lansdowne Madonna, are thought to be partly by Leonardo’s hand. The underdrawings of both paintings show similar experimental changes made to the composition (or "pentimenti"), suggesting that both evolved concurrently in Leonardo’s workshop.

Leonardo's crossbow Leonardo's crossbow is a type of shooting weapon designed by Leonardo da Vinci, whose drawings are in the "Codex Atlanticus". Never constructed by its designer, it was instead built to a scale of 1:1, as shown in the ITN documentary "Leonardo's Dream Machines", which was aired for the first time in February 2003 by Channel 4. The original idea of Leonardo, as described in the drawings of the "Atlantic Codex" (1488–1489), was to build a giant crossbow in order to increase the range of the dart. It was used to fire rocks and bombs, it was mostly intimidation based.
