Mammon
Bible
Phraseologism: Mammon.
Meaning: A symbol of profit, acquisitiveness, love of money, hoarding, etc.
Origin: From the Bible. The Gospel repeatedly mentions the name of this ancient Syrian god of wealth, which has become a synonym for acquisition in Russian. In common parlance, the name of God has turned into the word "mamon", meaning "womb", "belly". The expression "mamon" was often used in his satires by the writer M.E. Saltykov-Shchedrin ("stuff mamon", etc.).
Random phraseology:
In the struggle you will find your right.
Meaning:
Encouraging someone to assert their legal rights (joking).
Origin:
These words entered the history of the Russian language as the slogan of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party (Socialist-Revolutionary Party - from the abbreviation of that time "S.R."), which noisily declared itself in Russia at the beginning of the century with terrorist actions, "expropriations" (robbery) of government institutions to finance the "revolutionary struggle". The author of this motto is the outstanding German lawyer Rudolf von Yehring (1812-1890), who interpreted law as a legally protected practical interest of a person, that is, protected by legal means. But the Socialist-Revolutionaries interpreted this slogan in their own way and used it for purposes that had nothing to do with the meaning that their author, Rudolf von Yehring, put into these words. |

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 ... >>
