Who is not with us is against us
Bible
Phraseologism: He who is not with us is against us.
Meaning: 1. A threat, a warning to those who take a neutral position in politics. 2. Withholding support becomes an enemy.
Origin: A phrase that became popular in Soviet Russia in the first years after the October Revolution: used as a threat or warning to those who take a neutral political position, the expression is often associated with revolutionary propaganda. The primary source is the words of Christ, transmitted in the Gospel of Matthew: "Whoever is not with Me is against Me, and whoever does not gather with Me squanders" (Matt. 12:30). In English-speaking countries, a similar expression (English you "re either with us, or against us) became widely known thanks to US President George W. Bush, who used it in 2001 when declaring a war on terrorism.
Random phraseology:
In the middle of nowhere.
Meaning:
Very far, in an unknown direction.
Origin:
The expression means: very far, somewhere in the wilderness. Kulichki is a modified dialect word kulizhki (from kulig) in the meaning of "forest clearings, places burned, cut down and adapted for cultivating land, as well as islands in a swamp." Kulizhki were, as a rule, far from villages and villages, hence the meaning of the expression: "in the middle of nowhere" - very far, no one knows where. |

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 ... >>
