Lie to the rescue
Bible
Phraseologism: Lie to the rescue.
Meaning: Lies (deliberate misrepresentation), which, according to the intention of the lier, should be good for the deceived person, in contrast to the truth, which, as the "well-meaning" deceiver believes, will bring harm.
Origin: Traditionally, these words mean a completely acceptable lie - justified by the fact that it supposedly benefits the deceived, and such a lie, as is commonly believed, is allowed and blessed by the Bible. But this catchphrase owes its birth to the incorrect use of the biblical text. The Bible nowhere speaks of "white lies," that is, lies that can be understood and forgiven. In the Old Slavonic text of the Bible it is said (Old Testament, Psalter, 32:17): "The lie of the horse is for salvation, but in the multitude of its strength it will not be saved." Russian translation of this verse: "The horse is unreliable for salvation, it will not deliver with its great power." Thus, there is no mention of a lie at all, much less its justification. It is only about the fact that only God alone can save a person, that even on a horse a person will not be able to gallop away from what is prescribed to happen.
Random phraseology:
Get into a hole.
Meaning:
To be in an unattractive position, to be disgraced.
Origin:
Prosak is a drum with teeth in the machine, with which the wool was carded. To get into a trouble meant to be crippled, to lose an arm, to get into trouble, in an awkward position. |

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 ... >>

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 Shake before use
02.12.2000
The flashlight, launched in the US, does not have batteries or a light bulb.
In order for it to catch fire, it must be shaken several times. In this case, the magnet contained inside the body of the flashlight "runs" inside the coil, exciting an electric current in it, and its energy is stored in a miniature, but very capacious capacitor. From this energy, a white LED lights up, the service life of which is one hundred thousand hours.
After shaking for 25 seconds, the flashlight shines for five minutes, and at a distance of 10 meters an illuminated circle with a diameter of two meters is created. The operating temperature range - from minus 90 to plus 85 degrees - no battery could withstand.
Since nothing needs to be changed in the flashlight, it is made one-piece, sealed and can work underwater.
