Despite the faces

Bible
Bible

Phraseologism: Regardless of faces.

Meaning: To act freely, to judge someone objectively, regardless of someone's high social position.

Origin: From the Bible, where the idea of the actions of a true Christian without obsequiousness to superiors is repeatedly expressed both in the Old Testament (Deuteronomy, 1:17) and in the New Testament (Gospel of Matthew, 22:16, Gospel of Mark, 12:14, etc. .). The expression entered Russian literary speech thanks to the poet Gavrila Romanovich Derzhavin (1743-1816), who, in his poem "To the Rulers and Judges" (1787, an interpretation of the 81st psalm from the Psalter), wrote: "Your duty is: to preserve the laws, on the faces do not look at the strong. The meaning of the expression is revealed by the early editions of Derzhavin's poem. Thus, in the first edition of his (1780) he writes: Do not look at the loftiness of persons, in the second - And do not look at the nobility of persons. It is also possible that this expression entered Russian speech as a translation of the German popular turnover Ohne Ansehen der Person, with the help of which Martin Luther interpreted the biblical word "not respectful" (The First Epistle of the Apostle Peter, ch. 1, v. 17) in his translation of the Gospel into German.

Random phraseology:

Cato.

Meaning:

A common noun for an honest person who steadily upholds the laws of honor and morality (jokingly).

Origin:

The ancient Roman commander, orator, writer and statesman Cato Mark Porcius the Elder (234-149 BC), according to the ancient Greek historian Plutarch (c. 45-c. 127), was distinguished by intransigence and honesty, because of which he amassed many enemies. Pliny the Elder (23-79) tells that Cato was brought to trial 44 times, but was never convicted. Usually the name of Cato is mentioned in connection with his famous phrase, which has become a catch phrase.

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 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.
