Wrap yourself up

Proverbs and sayings

Phraseologism: Wrap yourself up.

Meaning: Remember, take note, bearing in mind that it may be needed later, come in handy (joking).

Origin: The turnover is associated, on the one hand, with the symbolism of the mustache as an attribute of male maturity and experience, on the other hand, with the ancient system of memorization - tying knots on a thread or string "for memory". The longer the mustache, the more life experience can be "wound" on it - such is the playful logic of the expression. Such a motivation for turnover is not excluded: from a nervous habit of twisting a mustache while thinking.

Random phraseology:

There is no prophet in his own country.

Meaning:

People do not believe in talent, genius or the truth of the words of the person who is next to them. It is assumed that everything truly wise, correct, etc. can be born not here, but somewhere in a beautiful far away.

Origin:

From the Bible. The expression was formed on the basis of the following gospel verse (New Testament, Gospel of Matthew, 13:57): "... Jesus said to them: There is no prophet without honor, except in his own country and in his own house." Sometimes the expression is quoted in Old Slavonic: "There is no prophet in his own country."

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. ... >>

Allergy to computer 17.01.2001

As Swedish ecologists have discovered, the chemical compound triphenyl phosphate, which is part of the plastic of monitor cases, can cause allergies in a person working at a computer or just being in a room with a computer turned on - especially in a small room.

Triphenyl phosphate is introduced into plastics as a plasticizer and fire retardant (flame retardant). In some people, this compound causes allergies, usually in the form of itchy skin, difficulty breathing through the nose, and headaches. As studies have shown, when heated during normal operation to 50 - 55 degrees Celsius, the monitor case begins to release triphenyl phosphate vapor into the air. The content of this additive in the case plastic varies in different brands of monitors, but almost all manufacturers use it.

Appreciable concentrations of the compound were found in the air within half a meter of the screen of ten of the 18 new monitors tested. These secretions decrease sharply after eight days of continuous monitor use (the plasticizer gradually evaporates), but remain 10 times above background levels even after 183 days, which is about two years of normal computer use. Another possible source of allergy for computer workers has been found in the mouse pad. True, not in every way.

The well-known environmental organization Greenpeace is recalling 500 souvenir rugs that it sent out a few months ago to its supporters. Mats made from natural rubber harvested from the Amazon rainforest contain spores of a fungus that can cause allergies in a sensitive person. Now two universities - English and Brazilian - are working on a way to destroy harmful spores in hevea juice.
