Jomini yes Jomini, but not a word about vodka

Davydov D.V.

Phraseologism: Jomini yes Jomini, but not a word about vodka.

Meaning: It is quoted as a call to leave the long "smart" conversations that precede the feast and sit down at the table as soon as possible in order to talk in a more pleasant environment (jokingly-iron.).

Origin: From the poem "Song of the Old Hussar" (1817, publ. 1819) by the poet and hussar Denis Vasilievich Davydov (1784-1839): They say they are smarter ... // But what do we hear from anyone? // "Jomini da Jomini!" // And not a word about vodka. "The Swiss officer Antoine Henri Jomini (1779-1869) from 1813 was in the Russian military service with the rank of infantry general (infantry general) and became famous as a military historian and theorist. He wrote a multi-volume work " A Discourse on Great Military Actions, or a Critical and Comparative Description of the Campaigns of Frederick and Napoleon", which was translated into Russian in 1809-1817 and was widely discussed in the Russian military environment as the next volume was published.

Random phraseology:

Achilles' heel.

Meaning:

Vulnerable point

Origin:

From the ancient Greek legend about Achilles (Achilles), who had only one weak spot - the heel. The greatest hero of Ancient Greece, the legendary Achilles, was, according to legend, the son of the sea goddess Thetis and a mere mortal Peleus. The sons of mortals are in every danger. Fearing for her son, the mother decided to bathe him in the waters of the sacred river Styx, which made a person invulnerable. But, dipping the baby into the water, the mother held him by the heel, and Styx did not touch her with his jet. And when the arrow of the Trojan Paris plunged into the heel of Achilles, he died. This legend has long occupied the minds of people. Thanks to her, the tendon located on the leg above the calcaneus is called "Achilles" by anatomists, and the expression "Achilles heel" has long been used to denote a weak, vulnerable place in a person. The story of Achilles (as Achilles is called in new translations) is partly told by Homer in his Iliad.

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. ... >>

Record-breaking short pulses of light received 13.08.2017

A research team from the University of Central Florida has demonstrated a technology that produces record-breaking short X-ray pulses of 53 attoseconds. The group, led by Professor Zenghu Chang, broke their own record set back in 2012, which at the time was 67 attoseconds.

An attosecond is equal to 10^-18 seconds, or one billionth of one billionth of a second. And in 53 attoseconds, light has time to travel a distance equal to a thousandth of the thickness of a human hair. Just as fast-moving events can be recorded with ultra-high-speed cameras, such as the impact of a flying bullet on a target, attosecond pulses of light can record even faster events, such as the movement and interaction of electrons in atoms or molecules.

In addition to the fact that Professor Chang's group managed to obtain record-breaking short X-ray pulses, these pulses had a shorter wavelength than previously obtained. The frequency of light pulses is in the spectral region of the so-called "water window" (water window), a wavelength that is actively absorbed by carbon atoms and is absolutely transparent to water.

The production of record-breaking short attosecond pulses has become possible due to the development and application of new powerful optical "drivers", which are femtosecond lasers that emit light with a longer wavelength, and new methods of light pulse compression.

The short pulses of light obtained by scientists are already approaching the duration that will allow them to "illuminate" the processes in which bound electrons moving in the medium of various materials are involved. This, in turn, will allow scientists to develop new types of semiconductor materials, which will be used to create chips that are thousands of times faster than those used today.

"Attosecond soft X-ray pulses can be used to capture processes in living cells that involve biological molecules. In addition, studies of the movement of electrons and other electric charge carriers will allow us to find more efficient materials for artificial photosynthesis, for solar cells and for obtaining biofuels," says Professor Chang.
