people of good will

Bible

Phraseologism: Goodwill people.

Meaning: Peace advocates, pacifists.

Origin: This expression appeared in the Russian language of the Soviet period after the so-called "Stockholm Appeal" was published in Pravda on April 1, 1950. The appeal was adopted (March 19, 1950) by the third session of the Standing Committee of the World Peace Congress. It contained a call for a ban on atomic weapons, a call for mass support for such a ban: "We call on all people of good will throughout the world to sign this appeal." In order to win over the maximum number of supporters of peace and disarmament, regardless of their ideological convictions and political views, the authors of the appeal deliberately used a de-ideologized expression, well known in the West. In the Latin text of the Bible accepted in the West, in the Gospel of Luke (2:13-14) it says: "Et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis" - "And on earth peace to people of good will." And before the publication of the appeal, this expression - "people of good will" - was often used in the socio-political vocabulary of Western European countries. A popular Church Slavonic analogue of the expression: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill towards men!" (Gospel of Luke, 2:14).

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. ... >>

Random news from the Archive Plasma with ultra-fast cooling mechanism 18.02.2021 Researchers at Advanced Imaging of Matter have made a breakthrough by creating a completely new type of plasma by combining state-of-the-art technology using ultrashort laser pulses and ultracold atomic gases. They reported a new mechanism for electron cooling in such a plasma. Matter exists in four states - solid, gas, liquid and plasma, with plasma being the most common state in the visible universe. It is made up of free charged particles such as ions and electrons. Plasma can exist in a huge range of temperatures and densities: from the core of the Sun to lightning or flames. The challenge in understanding plasma dynamics is to first identify universal mechanisms and then compare them to a controlled laboratory experiment. At the Center for Optical Quantum Technology at the University of Hamburg, researchers cool and trap atoms with laser light. They use the intense light field of an ultrashort laser pulse to separate atoms into electrons and ions within 200 femtoseconds. A femtosecond is one millionth of one billionth of a second. Due to the extremely low initial temperature of atoms, ions have a temperature below 40 millikelvins, which is only slightly above the lowest possible temperature in the universe -273°C. On the contrary, electrons are initially very hot with a temperature of 4977°C, close to the temperatures on the surface of the Sun. Hot electrons, directly generated by the ultrashort laser pulse, begin to escape and leave a positively charged region that captures some of the electrons in the ultracold plasma. Such a state of plasma has never been observed before. The researchers observed that trapped electrons in the plasma cool on ultra-fast time scales and measured the final temperature. In addition, they noticed that the plasma is stable for several hundred nanoseconds, which is a very long time for such systems. Such ultracold plasma serves as a reference for theoretical models and can shed light on the extreme conditions present in inertial confinement fusion or astronomical objects such as white dwarfs. Moreover, the obtained ultracold electrons are interesting in themselves as a bright source for visualization of biological samples.
