God save us from such judges

Krylov I.A.

Phraseologism: God save us from such judges.

Meaning: About unfriendly, unprofessional, biased criticism, about false authority.

Origin: From the fable "The Donkey and the Nightingale" (1811) by I. A. Krylov (1769-1844). The donkey, listening to the singing of the Nightingale, expressed his regret to him: "It's a pity that you are unfamiliar with our rooster." From him, according to Osla, Nightingale should have learned the art of singing: "If only you were more sharpened, // When you would have learned a little from him." // Hearing such a court, my poor Nightingale // He fluttered and - flew to distant fields. // God save us from such judges."

Random phraseology:

Revolutionaries in a dressing gown and shoes.

Meaning:

Ardent but cowardly supporters of change.

Origin:

From the essay "Paris Letters" by the German publicist and critic Karl Ludwig Berne (1786-1837), who in one of these "letters" (November 4, 1831) ironically wrote about the royalists, "who in a dressing gown and shoes ("shoes" in in this case - house slippers, "dressing gown" - dressing gown) are waiting for the return of Henry V. Later this expression would be repeated by Prussian Foreign Minister Manteuffel, and it would become widely known in Europe and Russia. In one of his speeches (January, 1851), he will say about the expected strike of the Prussian officials: “Yes, gentlemen, I consider such a revolution very dangerous, because you can take part in it, remaining in a dressing gown and shoes, while those who go to barricades, you still need to have the courage to expose yourself to bullets."

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 ... >>

Hyundai car with Google Glass and SoundHound 14.01.2014

The updated Hyundai Genesis premium sedan, shown at the Detroit Auto Show, received several technological innovations, including support for computerized Google Glass glasses.

The wearable gadget communicates with the Blue Link infotainment system using a wireless connection and an installed application. By connecting to on-board electronics, Google Glass users will be able to remotely control the car's central locking, start the engine, and receive vehicle maintenance information.

In addition, information about the location of the car in the parking lot, the route to the nearest gas station and much more will be projected onto the lenses of augmented reality glasses. Recall that earlier the integration of Google Glass with their cars was announced in Mercedes-Benz.

The updated Hyndai Genesis also supports the Apple Siri Eyes Free voice control system, through which iPhone owners, without being distracted from the road, will be able to answer calls, incoming messages, control Apple Maps navigation, etc.

The car comes with Pandora, SiriusXM and SoundHound apps pre-installed. With the help of the latter, you can recognize a musical composition (find out its artist and name) sounding on the radio. SoundHound is coming to Blue Link multimedia systems across many 2014 Hyndai and Kia models, but will initially only be available in North America, South Korea and China.
