France Prešeren

(2 or 3 December 1800– 8 February 1849)

19th-century Romantic Slovene poet,

http://www.preseren.net/ang/3-1_poezije.asp

who has inspired virtually all later Slovene literature

and has been generally acknowledged

as the greatest Slovene classical author.

He wrote some high quality epic poetry,

for example the first Slovene ballad and the first Slovene epic.

After death,

he became the leading name of the Slovene literary canon

…

A Toast

The vintage, friends, is over,

And here sweet wine makes, once again,

Sad eyes and hearts recover,

Puts fire in every vein,

Drowns dull care

Everywhere

And summons hope out of despair.

To whom with acclamation

And song shall we our first toast give?

God save our land and nation

And all Slovenes where'er they live,

Who own the same

Blood and name,

And who one glorious Mother claim.

Let thunder out of heaven

Strike down and smite our wanton foe!

Now, as it once had thriven,

May our dear realm in freedom grow.

Let fall the last

Chains of the past

Which bind us still and hold us fast!

Let peace, glad conciliation,

Come back to us throughout the land!

Towards their destination

Let Slavs henceforth go hand-in-hand!

Thus again

Will honour reign

To justice pledged in our domain.

To you, our pride past measure,

Our girls! Your beauty, charm and grace!

here surely is no treasure

To equal maidens of such race.

Sons you'll bear,

Who will dare

Defy our foe no matter where.

Our hope now, our to-morrow -

Our youth - we toast and toast with joy.

No poisonous blight or sorrow

Your love of homeland shall destroy.

With us indeed

You're called to heed

Its summons in this hour of need.

God's blessing on all nations,

Who long and work for that bright day,

When o'er earth's habitations

No war, no strife shall hold its sway;

Who long to see

That all men free

No more shall foes, but neighbours be.

At last to our reunion -

To us the toast! Let it resound,

Since in this gay communion

By thoughts of brotherhood we're bound.

May joyful cheer

Ne'er disappear

From all good hearts now gathered here.

* The Slovenian national anthem

Dennis Gabor

Dennis Gabor CBE, FRS

Hungarian: Gábor Dénes;

5 June 1900 – 9 February 1979

was a Hungarian-British electrical engineer and physicist,

most notable for inventing holography,

for which he later received the 1971 Nobel Prize in Physics

Holography is the science and practice of making holograms.

Typically, a hologram is a photographic recording of a light field,

rather than of an image formed by a lens,

and it is used to display a fully three-dimensional image

of the holographed subject,

which is seen without the aid

of special glasses or other intermediate optics.

The hologram itself is not an image

and it is usually unintelligible

when viewed under diffuse ambient light.

It is an encoding of the light field

as an interference pattern of seemingly random variations

in the opacity, density, or surface profile

of the photographic medium.

When suitably lit,

the interference pattern diffracts the light

into a reproduction of the original light field

and the objects that were in it appear to still be there,

exhibiting visual depth cues

such as parallax and perspective

that change realistically with any change

in the relative position of the observer.
