Mailed fist

Otto von Bismarck

Phraseologism: Mailed fist.

Meaning: 1. German militarism. 2. Militarism in general.

Origin: The expression originated in Germany in the middle of the 1897th century. It was used, for example, in relation to the policy of Bismarck, who declared that "the great questions of the time are decided by iron and blood" and who sought to unite Germany by the power of Prussian arms. However, this became a popular expression after the speech delivered by Wilhelm II in December XNUMX at the farewell to his brother, Prince Henry, who was leaving for China. Henry was to bring a squadron of German warships into Kio Chao in response to the fact that two German Catholic missionaries had been killed in China. In his speech, Wilhelm recommended that his brother respond with an armored fist, in case anyone dares to encroach on the interests of Germany. The opposition press picked up the words of Wilhelm II. There was talk in the press about "the intervention of the armored fist of Germany", about the "gospel of the armored fist preached by the Emperor's brother in China", etc.

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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Random news from the Archive Solar tornadoes will help green energy 12.07.2012 An international team of scientists believe that giant rotating magnetic structures on the Sun may be responsible for the temperature difference between the surface and the core of the star. Such structures can also be used on Earth - in thermonuclear reactors (tokamaks). Solar tornadoes are thousands of times larger and more powerful than their Earth counterparts, reaching a width of 1600 km. Solar tornadoes have a magnetic "skeleton" that spins at over 9600 km/h at temperatures of millions of degrees Celsius. It is believed that about 11 thousand such vortices usually exist simultaneously above the surface of the Sun. Scientists from the University of Sheffield, the University of Oslo, the Freiburg Institute for Solar Physics and the University of Uppsala believe that it is solar tornadoes that, using electromagnetic waves, carry energy from under the surface of the Sun to its atmosphere. “If we understand how nature heats up magnetized plasma and forms plasma vortices, one day we will be able to use this process to create new environmentally friendly energy sources,” says Professor Robertus Erdeli. problems of modern astrophysics". The problem the scientist is talking about is that the Sun's atmosphere is significantly hotter than its surface. It is clear that the energy goes from bottom to top to the surface of the star, but the way this energy is transferred remains a mystery. Scientists have studied tornadoes in the Sun's outer atmosphere using space and ground-based telescopes. They then created the most detailed XNUMXD tornado model to date. Scientists have discovered a possible mechanism for the transfer of a huge amount of energy. Most likely, rotating magnetic structures create a kind of channel that allows energy to be transported in the form of electromagnetic waves. It is this energy that heats the solar plasma. If this process can be reproduced on Earth, it can be used to activate and stabilize plasma in a tokamak, which is a difficult task today.
