Now let go

Bible
Bible

Phraseologism: Now you are letting go.

Meaning: About the moment when something long-awaited happened, after which you can breathe easy, relax, etc.

Origin: From the Bible (Church Slavonic text). According to the Gospel of Luke (ch. 2, st. 29-30), this was the cry of the pious elder Simeon, who was foretold from above that he would not die until he saw the born Christ. And when the baby Jesus was brought to the temple on the fortieth day after his birth, Simeon, taking the baby in his arms, said (according to the Old Church Slavonic text of the Bible): “Now let your servant go, Master, according to your word in peace, as if my eyes have seen your salvation” . So the meeting in the temple allowed Simeon to complete his life. The church holiday of the Presentation of the Lord is dedicated to this event, when these gospel lines are read in churches. The folklore Russian tradition rethought this holiday as a meeting (meeting) of winter in the summer. Sometimes found in the Latin version: "Nunc dimittis".

Random phraseology:

Whoever comes to us with a sword will perish by the sword!

Meaning:

It is cited as a warning and warning for the future of a defeated or potential aggressor.

Origin:

It is generally accepted that these words belong to the Novgorod prince Alexander Nevsky, the hero of the battle with the Swedes on the Neva and with the crusader knights on Lake Peipus. And he said them supposedly as a warning to the ambassadors of the Livonian Order, who, after the Battle of the Ice (in the summer of 1242), came to him in Veliky Novgorod to ask for "eternal peace." In fact, Alexander Nevsky has nothing to do with these words - in the few chronicle sources that tell about him ("The Sofia First Chronicle" and "The Pskov Second Chronicle") there is no mention of either these words or others, even remotely on them similar. The author of these words is the Soviet writer Pyotr Andreevich Pavlenko (1899-1951), and they first appeared in his film script "Alexander Nevsky". They, according to the script, are pronounced by the protagonist of the film: Whoever enters us with a sword will die from the sword. On that stood and stands the Russian land! (see: Pavlenko N. A. Alexander Nevsky: Film story // Collected works. T. 4. M., 1954). The film (directed by Sergei Eisenstein) was released on December 1, 1938, and since then these words have been associated with the name of Alexander Nevsky as his personal, "historical" phrase. Obviously, this phrase is based on the well-known gospel expression: "Those who take the sword will perish by the sword." Or in full: "Then Jesus said to him: return your sword to its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword" (Gospel of Matthew, 26:52). A similar expression was well known in the ancient world, in pre-evangelical times. For example, in ancient Rome it was used as a catchphrase: Whoever fights with a sword dies by the sword - Qui gladio ferit, gladio perit.

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 ... >>

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

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. ... >>

Improved power generation from dissipated heat 01.06.2021

A team of scientists from the University of Colorado at Boulder has developed a new cell to generate power from dissipated heat that would simply escape into space. The new development turned out to be 100 times better than previous similar devices, but for commercial purposes, the efficiency of the element needs to be increased by another 100 or 1000 times.

So-called rectifying antennas or rectifying antennas can generate electricity from an external electromagnetic field (radio frequency radiation). Scientists have created a rectenna to generate electricity from heat. The operation of the element is based on the tunnel effect. The problem was set in such a way that to collect energy from heat, an element as small as possible was required, but it was necessary to solve the problem of resistance growth as the elements were reduced.

The tunnel effect that scientists have achieved on the element actually means zero resistance to electron transition and a sharp increase in the level of production. The researchers were able to obtain such an effect after creating a gap between two dielectric layers between the junction contacts - the so-called quantum well. The selection of the gap and the thickness of the dielectrics was such that the electron tunneled from one contact to another, as if passing through a wall.

The scientists tested an array of more than 250 butterfly-shaped rectennas made from nickel, nickel oxide, alumina, chromium and gold, each about 000 nm long and 11 nm wide. The array was found to exhibit 6-100 times greater conversion efficiency than previous optical rectennas.
