There is no Greek or Jew

Bible
Bible

Phraseologism: There is neither Greek nor Jew.

Meaning: Usually interpreted in the sense of declaring the equality of all people among themselves. But the New Testament speaks of equality only between Christians - they are equal in their faith before God.

Origin: From the Bible (New Testament). The Apostle Paul in the Epistle to the Colossians (ch. 3) speaks of the moral character of a true Christian, who must renounce the "old man" in himself, that is, from human vices (anger, malice, lies, slander, covetousness, etc.) and spiritually renewed (v. 10-11) - "in the image of Him who created him, where there is no Greek, no Jew, no circumcision, no uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free, but Christ is everything and in everything." The same thought is contained in another Epistle of the Apostle Paul - to the Galatians (ch. 3, st. 27-28) is expressed in a different form: "All of you who were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is no Jew, no Gentile, no slave or free, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

Random phraseology:

Bake on the side.

Meaning:

Everything accidental, extraneous, adhering to something from the outside, superfluous, unnecessary

Origin:

This expression is often distorted by pronouncing "side-baked". In fact, it could also be conveyed by the words: "side baking". Baking, or baking, bakers have burnt pieces of dough that stick to the outside of bread products, that is, something unnecessary, superfluous.

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. ... >>

Hive for wild bees 16.07.2003

The English company "Oxford Bee" has launched the production of ready-made houses for wild bees.

In recent years, honey bees in England, and in many other countries, have suffered greatly from parasitic mites. As a result, yields of crops that need pollination by bees have decreased. In this regard, honey bees can be replaced by solitary wild bees - osmia. They do not give in to a tick and, moreover, are more effective in pollination.

Osmias collect pollen on the pubescent underside of the abdomen, rather than tamping it into special baskets on their legs, like a honey bee, therefore increasing the likelihood of pollen getting onto the pistil. Importantly, osmias are distinguished by a complaisant disposition and almost never use their sting. In spring, they begin to fly earlier than ordinary bees, at a lower temperature.

In nature, osmia live in hollow reed stems, empty snail shells, in the passages of woodworms and other tubular cavities. Oxford Bee proposes to attract osmium to the gardens by hanging houses for them. The nest tubes are made of biologically neutral plastic and lined with paper. The hive can be expanded by purchasing individual tubes.
