Trumpet of Jericho

Bible
Bible

Phraseologism: Trumpet of Jericho.

Meaning: Deafening, unusually loud voice (disapproved). Hence the expression "trumpet voice (voice)".

Origin: From the Bible. The Old Testament (Book of Joshua, 6) tells of the siege of the Jews returning from Egyptian captivity to Palestine, the city of Jericho, which stood in their way. They besieged it for six days, and it is not known how long the standing under the walls of this fortress would have lasted, if not for a miracle. On the seventh day, the priests of the Jews began to walk around the walls of the city, blowing trumpets. And from their sound the walls suddenly collapsed.

Random phraseology:

Teacher, educate a student so that there is someone to learn from later.

Meaning:

It is cited as a call to share knowledge, skills, which eventually multiply and serve everyone - both the teacher and the student.

Origin:

The source is a poem (publ. 1961) without a title (***) by the Soviet poet Yevgeny Mikhailovich Vinokurov (1925-1993): "Artist, educate a student, // Do not spare his strength for the sake of his teaching. // Let his hand lead after you / / Doodles on a checkered notebook. // Let him look down on you, // Considering himself a seer. // Artist, educate a student, // So that you have someone to learn later." The last two lines of the poem entered into a wide speech turnover in a more general form: "Teacher, educate ...", 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. ... >>

Coolest star emitting radio waves found 25.07.2023

Astronomers from the University of Sydney have made an exciting discovery by detecting radio emission from an ultracold brown dwarf. This dwarf is a ball of gas that "boils" at a temperature of about 425 ° C without nuclear reactions. Usually such stars do not emit radio waves, so the reason for this phenomenon remains a mystery.

The star T8 Dwarf WISE J062309.94-045624.6 lies about 37 light-years from Earth. Its radius is from 0,65 to 0,95 of the radius of Jupiter, and the mass is 4-44 times the mass of the largest planet in the solar system (the exact value of the mass has not yet been determined). Even though this brown dwarf is not the coldest, astronomers have only observed radio emission from hotter stars so far.

The emission of radio waves from stars is associated with the presence of strong magnetic fields. It is hypothesized that ultracold brown dwarfs do not have a fast enough rotational dynamic to generate strong magnetic fields that would be visible from Earth. However, about 10% of them still emit radio waves. Astrophysicists cannot yet explain the reason for this phenomenon.

One of the key hypotheses is that the fast rotation of ultracold brown dwarfs plays an important role in the formation of strong magnetic fields. When the magnetic field of such a star is intertwined with an atmosphere moving at a speed different from the ionized atmosphere, it can generate electrical currents. The emergence of electrons in the region of the star's magnetic pole, combined with its rotation, causes periodic flashes.

"Finding a brown dwarf that emits radio waves at such a low temperature is an important discovery," the authors of the study note. They believe that further observation of the properties of this star will help confirm the hypothesis or collect new data that explain the generation of a strong magnetic field in these cool stars.
