flesh of flesh

Bible
Bible

Phraseologism: Flesh of flesh.

Meaning: About blood or spiritual relationship.

Origin: From the Bible. The Old Testament (Genesis 2:23) tells how God took a rib from a sleeping Adam and created from it the first woman on earth, Eve: "And the man said: Behold, this is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh she shall be called woman, for she was taken from man."

Random phraseology:

Sing Lazarus.

Meaning:

Begging, whining, exaggeratedly complaining about fate, trying to arouse the sympathy of others.

Origin:

In tsarist Russia, crowds of beggars, cripples, blind men with guides gathered everywhere in crowded places, begging, with all sorts of miserable lamentations, alms from passers-by. At the same time, the blind especially often sang the song "About the Rich and Lazarus", composed according to one gospel story. Lazarus was poor, but his brother was rich. Lazarus ate the remnants of the rich man's food along with the dogs, but after death he went to heaven, while the rich man ended up in hell. This song was supposed to frighten and conscience those from whom the beggars begged for money. Since not all beggars were actually so unfortunate, their plaintive moans were often feigned.

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. ... >>

Absolutely smooth surfaces 26.01.2001

Professor of the State University of North Carolina (USA) Jan Genzer and colleagues have developed a technology for manufacturing absolutely smooth surfaces.

The substrate made of elastic polymer material is slightly stretched in all directions and coated with Teflon. After some time, the mechanical stress is released, the substrate returns to its original shape, and the Teflon molecules, chemically bonded to the surface, are brought extremely close to each other, forming a dense molecular film with a uniform structure.

Its properties are very unusual: firstly, chemically it is much more inert than any other natural material. Secondly, which partially follows from the first, there is practically no friction between parts coated with Teflon using this technology. The new development can be used in the automotive industry (friction-free bearings) and medicine (implants that do not interact with surrounding tissues).
