The Gestapo
Heinrich Himmler
Phraseologism: Gestapo.
Meaning: A household name for a cruel punitive organization that violates the rule of law and morality.
Origin: From German: Gestapo, short for Geheime Staatspolizei - "State Secret Police". The repressive organization of Nazi Germany, created to fight dissidents and opponents of the Nazi regime, which became a symbol of terror and repression. At first, this police operated only in Prussia, where it was created by a special decree of Hermann Goering on April 26, 1933. From June 1936, when Heinrich Himmler became the head of the Gestapo, it began to work throughout Germany. After the creation (September 27, 1939) of the Main Directorate of Imperial Security (RSHA), the Gestapo entered this structure as its IV Directorate, which from that time until the fall of the Third Reich was headed by Heinrich Müller.
Random phraseology:
Freaks decorate the world.
Meaning:
The formula for an apology (explanation) of someone's strange behavior, as a commentary on it (jokingly ironic).
Origin:
From "The Story of Unrequited Love" (1923) by Maxim Gorky (pseudonym of Alexei Maksimovich Peshkov, 1868-1936). The author writes about a strange owner of a stationery shop, who conducts his business with obvious indifference, "as if doing someone else's business, which is not interesting to him", but keeps in his shop a collection of postcards with a portrait of a little-known actress, some of which he himself published, with speaks passionately about her successes on stage, about her talent. The author concludes: "Undoubtedly, it was some kind of eccentric. Eccentrics adorn the world. I decided to get to know him better, I succeeded ..." And the owner of the shop told his new acquaintance about how he loved this actress, and she loved him - no, preferring to him the theater and the delights of his fans. |

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 Holographic display for mobile devices
26.04.2015
Scientists from the Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, with the support of scientific foundations from Australia and China, have developed a technology that allows displaying holograms on the screen of a mobile device. To see such images, additional devices such as stereo glasses are not required.
The technology is based on the holographic method developed by the Hungarian physicist Dennis Gabor, who received the Nobel Prize in 1971 for his invention. The method consists in recording and displaying not only the amplitude of light waves reflected from objects (as in photography), but also the phases of these waves using a laser.
To reproduce this method in a mobile display, the researchers proposed using a promising material in the semiconductor industry called graphene. As scientists have found, this material is able to refract the light passing through it at various angles and recreate the recorded three-dimensional image with a viewing angle of up to 52 degrees.
"If you can refract light, you can create a lot of optical effects," said Ming Gu, director of the Center for Photonics Research at Swinburne University of Technology. smartphones and tablets with a wide viewing angle.
The new technology, according to the researchers, could also find applications in the military industry, medical diagnostics, distance education and the entertainment industry.
The creation of holographic images that do not require special devices for their viewing is being done by many researchers around the world. So, in the summer of 2014, a system for displaying images hanging in the air, like holograms in Star Wars, was presented by designers from Scotland.
The principle of operation of the system of Scottish designers and researchers from Australia is different. The installation of Scottish designers does not use the holographic principle. In addition, the installation itself is large and it is impossible to fit it into a mobile device. Researchers from Australia claim that a “graphene screen” can be equipped with a device of almost any size, up to “smart watches”. You can also find works on the creation of liquid crystal phase modulators for displaying three-dimensional images in mobile devices, but they allow you to view the image only within a few angles.
