Silent means consent

Boniface VIII
Boniface VIII

Phraseologism: Silent means consent.

Meaning: Used in the literal sense.

Origin: From Latin: Silentium videtur confessio. From the message of Pope Boniface VIII (1294-1303), which was included in canon law (a set of decisions of the highest authority in the Roman Catholic Church). A possible primary source of this expression is the tragedy of the Trachinian Woman by the ancient Greek poet-dramatist Sophocles (496-406 BC): "Don't you understand that by silence you agree with the accuser?"

Random phraseology:

Peace pipe.

Meaning:

Symbol of peace and harmony.

Origin:

The Indians of North America had a custom, when making peace, to smoke one common pipe with the enemy as a sign of reconciliation - the "peace pipe". So, in the "Song of Hiawatha" by the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882), "The Mighty Master of Life, Gitchie Manito," calling the leaders of the warring Indian tribes, tells them (translated by Ivan Alekseevich Bunin, 1896): "Wash away the colors of battle, // Wash away the bloodstains from your fingers, // Bury bows in the ground, // Make pipes of stone, // Harvest reeds for them, // Decorate them brightly with feathers, // Light the Pipe of Peace // And henceforth live like brothers!" In Russia, the expression became popular thanks to the novels "Pathfinder", "Prairie", "The Last of the Mohicans" by the American writer James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851). "Smoke the pipe of peace" - make peace, reconcile.

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 ... >>

medicinal tooth 13.09.2007

In cases where it is necessary to frequently administer small doses of a medication to a patient, specialists from the German Institute for Biomedical Engineering suggest using a false tooth.

It contains a reservoir of liquid medicine and a radio-controlled dispenser. A pocket device, such as a TV remote control, allows the patient to turn on the dispenser when the patient feels unwell. When the supply of medicine runs out, the tooth can be removed and a spare one put in, and in the meantime, the first one can be filled with a doctor.

There is only one drawback to this scheme: what to do if you have all your teeth, natural?
