Non-resistance to evil by violence

Bible
Bible

Phraseologism: Non-resistance to violence.

Meaning: It is used, as a rule, ironically, in relation to an overly soft person ("non-resistance") who does not dare to defend his legitimate interests, principles, etc.

Origin: The word and concept that L. N. Tolstoy (1828-1910) introduced into the Russian language as one of the main postulates of his religious and philosophical doctrine ("Tolstoy"), which he came to in the 1880s. The writer outlined the essence of his teaching in the works "Confession" (1879-1882) and "What is my faith?" (1884). The concept of "non-resistance" comes from the well-known gospel commandment (Gospel of Matthew, ch. 5, article 39): "... Do not resist evil. But whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other." Hence the "non-resistance" - a follower of this teaching of the writer.

Random phraseology:

A plot worthy of Aivazovsky's brush.

Meaning:

About some impressive event (jokingly-iron.).

Origin:

From the play "Uncle Vanya" (1897) by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904). Telegin's words (action 4). The old nanny tells him about the quarrel between Voinitsky and Serebryakov: “They made a fuss this morning, it’s a shame to shoot one,” to which he remarks: “Yes, a plot worthy of Aivazovsky’s brush.” The phrase itself "a plot worthy of a brush ..." was also found in A. S. Pushkin. Speaking about the work of D. I. Fonvizin "Conversation with Princess Khaldina", the poet wrote in his "Literary Gazette" (1830): "The image of Sorvantsov is worthy of a brush that painted the Prostakov family." The same expression (with the corresponding replacement of the artist's name) was often used as a cliché in Russian journalism in the 60s and 70s. XNUMXth century After the play "Uncle Vanya" was staged, it firmly entered the modern Russian speech precisely in the Chekhov edition and is used in an ironic sense.

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. ... >>

AI will aim for the player 19.07.2021

Cheating in video games has reached a new level. A special device has been developed that helps the player accurately aim at the enemy. In fact, we are talking about the hardware analogue of Aim Bot. Experts say that this cheat cannot be detected by any protection, since it does not violate the integrity of game files, which is typical for software cheats. The device can be used with both PC and consoles.

Actually, CVCheat is an advanced video capture card that connects to a PC or console using an HDMI connector and monitors the frames transmitted by the GPU to the screen. Using built-in artificial intelligence algorithms and computer vision, CVCheat determines the location of enemies in the central area of the screen where the player is looking.

Next, an algorithm comes into play that accurately calculates how far and in what direction it is necessary to move the mouse in order for the enemy to be in the crosshairs of the sight. CVCheat can determine not only the whole enemy, but also its individual parts of the body, allowing, for example, to distribute headshots effectively. The data collected by the capture card is sent to a special pass-through device, such as the Titan Two or Cronus Zen, which is used to emulate the movement of a mouse or gamepad to aim at the target and fire.

Individually, all devices used to run CVCheat are perfectly legal. For example, the same Titan Two or Cronus Zen cards are used to enable the use of computer mice and keyboards with game consoles, as well as to create game macros. However, together they create an effective cheat that does not require modification of game files, so no anti-cheat can detect it.

CVCHeat has flexible settings that allow you to determine the size of the aiming area, aiming speed, body parts where you want to shoot, and so on. In the current version, CVCheat works on the principle of Triggerbot, that is, it allows you to make accurate shots at the enemy that fell into the area of fine-tuning the sight. In addition, it has a recoil control function after each shot.
