Not one iota
Bible
Phraseologism: Not one iota.
Meaning: Absolutely not at all, without any deviations from anything (book).
Origin: The expression goes back to the gospel saying: "Not a single iota, not a single tittle will pass (that is, disappear) from the law until everything is fulfilled" (Matthew, 5, 18). Iota is not only the name of a letter in the Greek alphabet, but also the name of a thin dash under lowercase vowels, which was used to distinguish the meanings of these sounds. The omission of this dash does not matter for pronunciation, but indicates some grammatical forms and is not allowed by the rules. Hence the meaning "something extremely small, insignificant." The gospel saying says that even the slightest changes in the law are unacceptable: not only the text of the law cannot be changed, but not even a single letter, not a single dash in it.
Random phraseology:
Patience amazing people.
Meaning:
About a people who tolerate what is intolerable for people with a developed civic sense, self-esteem (ironic, disapproved)
Origin:
From the poem "To an Unknown Friend" (1866) by I. A. Nekrasov (1821-1877). The poet more than once bitterly sneered at this eternal patience, which, as he believed, was passed on among the Russian people from generation to generation, from generation to generation (from the poem "In the full swing of rural suffering", 1863): "Sing him a song about eternal patience , // Sing, patient mother!" |

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. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Vodka from water and air
08.11.2019
New York Air Co. developed a recipe for vodka, consisting only of water and air. No grains, no yeast, just electricity.
The company turns carbon from air into pure ethanol by electrically splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. The carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms then recombine to form "environmentally friendly" ethanol.
"The process is similar to photosynthesis, but more efficient," explains Air Co. CTO. Stafford Sheehan.
The technology of the Americans simplifies the production of vodka and at the same time cleans the air, taking carbon from the external environment. The company calculated that one bottle of vodka purifies the air like seven large trees. In other words, each bottle removes half a kilo of carbon dioxide, writes CNBC.
Air Co.'s air recycling machine takes up little space and is powered by solar energy. The only by-product in production is oxygen. Unlike other vodka companies, Air Co. no need for giant fields for grain.
The only negative for consumers may be the price - $ 65 per bottle. At first, it will be sold only in some bars and restaurants in New York, and in 2020 it will reach retailers. CNBC representatives tried Air Co. - they say, vodka is like vodka. The taste is indistinguishable from the usual.
However, on one Air Co. will not stop. The company is going to produce perfumes and cleaning products for the home, adding to them ethanol produced using electricity.
