Khlestakov
Gogol N.V.
Phraseologism: Khlestakov.
Meaning: A common noun for people of a bouncer and dreamer (contempt., iron.).
Origin: The protagonist of the comedy "The Government Inspector" (1836) by N. V. Gogol (1809-1852). Hence "Khlestakovism" - shameless, boastful lies and narcissism (deprecating, ironic).
Random phraseology:
Gentlemen prefer blondes.
Meaning:
About men's preferences and women's fashion (iron.)
Origin:
From English: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Title of the novel (1925) by Anita Luz (1893-1981). In 1948, according to this. the novel was staged a musical, and in 1953 director Howard Hawks made a comedy film of the same name, which made the expression popular. In the film, these words are spoken by its main character (actress Marilyn Monroe) - a greedy, prudent girl who, along with her friend (actress Jane Russell), sets off on a transatlantic voyage. Their goal is to seduce the millionaires who are sailing on the same ship and marry them to themselves. At the climax of the film, Monroe's character sings a song called "Diamonds are a girl's best friend". This phrase has also become widely known. Anita Luz's next novel was called But Gentlemen Marry Brunettes (1928). It was also filmed (1955) under the title Gentlemen Marry Brunettes. |

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 Silicone instead of copper
12.02.2013
A team of researchers from IBM and Dow Corning Electronics announces a discovery that will allow silicon to displace copper in creating fast, energy-efficient photonic connections on printed circuit boards. The team demonstrated optical waveguides using a photonic polymer at Photonics West 2013 in early February.
IBM says its work with Dow Corning provides an integrated approach to optical communications, similar to how metal conductors now conduct electrical signals on traditional printed circuit boards. Silicone polymer waveguides are "highly flexible and resistant to high temperatures," says Bert-Jan Offrein, manager of the Photonics Research Group at IBM Research in Zurich. Offrain reported that neither twisting nor deformation was observed on bends with a radius of up to 1 mm, and also under extreme operating conditions at 85% humidity and a temperature of +85°C.
Silicone allows you to use the same basic element as in CMOS crystals - silicon - but in a flexible form, which allows the beam of light to pass through bends and turns with very little distortion. As a result, very fast and energy efficient photonic interconnects can be fabricated, capable of transferring the exabytes of data required for future data centers and supercomputers.
Eric Peeters, vice president of Dow Corning Electronic Solutions, predicted that the new material will enable "on-board silicon-based communications that will quickly replace conventional electronic signaling methods."
Silicone polymer is born as a liquid like other optical materials such as glass, but when left under normal atmospheric conditions, it cures in less than 45 minutes. The material also showed excellent adhesion to traditional PCB materials such as polyimide, has a loss of no more than 0,03 dB per centimeter, remains stable for more than 2000 hours at high temperature and humidity, withstands 500 temperature cycles in the range of -18 ... +120 °C.
The presentation at Photonics West "Stable and Machinable Optical Silicone for Low Loss Polymer Waveguides" was presented by Brandon Swatowski, Project Engineer at Dow Corning Electronics Solutions.
