From dusk to dawn

"From Dusk Till Dawn"

Phraseologism: From dusk to dawn.

Meaning: Night, dark time of the day.

Origin: From English: "From Dusk till Down". The title of a movie about vampires (1995) directed by American director Robert Rodriguez. Screenplay by Quentin Tarantino based on a story by Robert Kurtzman.

Random phraseology:

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."

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. ... >>

Robot reinforces the slopes 29.05.2005

European engineers have tested a robot that strengthens the slopes.

Usually, Europeans drill deep holes in a landslide-threatening slope and hammer stakes or metal pins into it. And before that, bulky scaffolding is being built. Both are time-consuming work: for every ten square meters of a dangerous slope, there is a ten-meter-deep hole that must be drilled into the rocky ground.

In addition, builders are exposed to considerable danger - at any moment they can bring down loose rock on themselves, especially when it comes to a steep slope. And landslides in mountainous areas are frequent, in Northern Italy alone 400 slopes are destroyed in a year, causing damage of a billion euros and claiming dozens of human lives.

Scientists from the European Space Agency and D'Appolonia, with financial support from the European Commission, helped solve this problem. As a result, Roboclimber appeared - the heaviest (about 4 tons) robot in the world. It is a platform fixed on four legs. A powerful drill is installed on it, as well as a system used in space to control the orientation of the robot and its nodes.

Roboclimber is hung on ropes near a dangerous slope. He rests his feet on the slope, drills a hole, inserts a metal pin into it and, obeying the operator's command, moves up to continue working. During the tests, which took place in the Alta Valtorre area near Udine, Roboclimber drilled ten-meter holes with a diameter of 76 mm in a matter of minutes - much faster than the workers.

"According to our estimates, the use of the robot will save 75 euros while strengthening the slope of 5000 square meters. And there is nothing to say about safety," said Enzo Rizzi, project coordinator.
