Joseph the Beautiful (The Chaste Joseph)

Bible
Bible

Phraseologism: Joseph the Beautiful (Chasest Joseph).

Meaning: A handsome and pure young man, alien to vices and temptations (jokingly-iron.).

Origin: From the Bible. In the Old Testament there is a story about a beautiful young man whom "the wife of his master", the wife of the Egyptian courtier Pentephry, tried to seduce, but failed. Hence another, previously popular, winged expression - "Pentefry's wife", that is, a seductive woman, as a rule, older in age and occupying a higher social position than the young man whose love she seeks. In Russian literature, a colloquial version of this expression is sometimes found. A. S. Pushkin (letter to Prince P. A. Vyazemsky, around March 18, 1830): “If you can make Eliza fall in love with you, then do me this divine favor. I kept my chastity, leaving not a cloak in her hands , but a shirt (check with Princess Meshcherskaya), and she is pursuing me here with letters and parcels. Deliver me from Pentefreikha.

Random phraseology:

Every French soldier carries a marshal's baton in his knapsack.

Meaning:

Career ambitions.

Origin:

This expression, as belonging to Napoleon, is cited in his book by E. Blaz "Military Life in the Times of Empires", published in Paris in 1837. De Remusat in his "Memoirs" says that after the battle of Jena in 1806, a letter was distributed soldier, which said: "There is no doubt that the soldier is encouraged and encouraged by the idea that he can, like anyone else, become a marshal, prince or duke." In 1819, Louis XVIII, according to the newspaper "Moniteur" of August 10, in his speech addressed to the students of the military school in Saint-Cyr, said: "Remember firmly that there is not one among you who would not have in his marshal's baton of the Duke of Reggio, it is up to you to retrieve it." (The Duke of Reggio is General Oudinot, who received the rank of Marshal and the title of Duke of Reggio after the battle of Wagram on July 6, 1809).

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Light dosimeter 07.07.2005

The mode of lighting throughout the day greatly affects not only our biological clock, mood (in winter, depression is more common, and it is treated with bright light), but also directly on bodily health.

According to some reports, people who work night shifts with artificial lighting during hours when it should be dark have an increased incidence of cancer.

To study the effect of light on the human body, the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (USA) created a wearable light dosimeter that records illumination and its spectral composition around the clock. By changing these indicators, physiologists note changes in human behavior and biorhythms.
