Cheat

Proverbs and sayings

Phraseologism: Cheat.

Meaning: Cleverly deceive, outwit someone.

Origin: There are several versions of the origin of this turnover: 1) the expression arose on the basis of a turnover around the finger (near the finger) to wrap "do the job quickly and quickly" (V. I. Dal). A quick and clever deceit is here compared to the quick winding of a thread around a finger, 2) obviously from the swindle of the bazaar illusionists. The magician took an object from the audience and circled it around his finger, diverting their attention. At this time, his accomplices were emptying the pockets of the spectators, 3) the robbers believed that the hand of a dead man puts him to sleep well. Therefore, they carried a severed hand with them and circled it around the sleeping ones so that they would not wake up and interfere with the robbery, 4) the expression is a tracing paper from German, it is based on the image of a weak-willed person who can be completely subjugated - with the same ease with which a thread or a blade of grass is wrapped (circled) around the finger.

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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

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. ... >>

Random news from the Archive Restarting the Large Hadron Collider 30.04.2022 Representatives of the European Organization for Nuclear Research CERN announced that the process of maintenance and modernization of the Large Hadron Collider has been completed, the largest and most powerful particle accelerator is fully assembled and ready for operation. Moreover, CERN specialists have already carried out the first "warm-up" launches of two beams of protons moving in opposite directions. However, the procedure for launching a collider is not a quick matter, and several more months will pass before the moment when collisions of particle beams with record energy indicators begin in the bowels of the accelerator. The modernization that the collider equipment has undergone since December 2018 will allow it to operate at even higher energy levels. If during test launches the injection energy of the proton beam was 450 billion electron volts (450 GeV), then in the operating mode this energy will already be 13,6 trillion electron volts (13,6 TeV). According to preliminary calculations, the number of proton collisions during the third period (Run 3) of the collider will increase three times. The number of collisions of heavy ions will increase 50 times compared to the same indicators of the previous period of work. As a result of all this, both the number of collisions and the amount of data collected will significantly exceed the total amount for both previous periods of the collider, Run 1 and Run 2. With such a vast set of new data, physicists hope to unravel more mysteries and mysteries related to the Higgs boson, which is associated with so-called Higgs fields, which in turn give their mass to other elementary particles. In addition, scientists plan to study the intricacies of the interactions between Higgs bosons, "unlock the doors" to our understanding of dark matter and dark energy, learn more about the mysterious neutrino particles and unravel more mysteries related to the structure of the Universe at the subatomic level. The forthcoming wave of experiments in Geneva will contain some of the most rigorous tests that will test the veracity of the most recent theory about how our world works, the Standard Model of particle physics.
