go left
Proverbs and sayings
Phraseologism: Go left.
Meaning: Change
Origin: Each of us has two angels. The one who is called the guardian is invisibly behind the right shoulder, and the one who constantly tempts us is behind the left. Throughout our lives, an invisible struggle takes place between them: one calls us to everything pure and bright, the other pulls us down into the area of sin. The word "right" indicates not only a certain side. Even among the Slavs, it had a figurative meaning. A right person was called a person acting according to God's law, confident in his rightness. But the left side is sinful. And if they say today about someone that he "went to the left", it means that he betrayed - the word, deed, family, loved ones.
Random phraseology:
Knight without fear and reproach.
Meaning:
About a brave and honest man (jokingly-iron.).
Origin:
From French: "Le Chevalier sans peur et sans reproche". The title that the King of France Francis I granted to the famous French knight Pierre du Terrail Bayard (1476-1524), who became famous for his exploits in battles and victories in tournaments. In addition, the king appointed him as commander of the company of his personal guard, thereby equating him with the princes of the blood, and also honored him with knighting the king himself, that is, Francis himself. Bayard died in one of the battles in Italy. Dying, he asked his comrades to lean him against a tree so that he could die the way he always wanted - standing, facing the enemy. The title of "knight without fear and reproach" was also worn by another outstanding commander of France - Louis de la Tremouille (1460-1525). This expression became common after the anonymous French novel (1527) was widely circulated under the title "A most pleasant, amusing and restful story composed by an honest servant about the events and deeds, successes and exploits of a good knight without fear and reproach, the glorious lord Bayard." |

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 Smart life sensor
14.03.2013
Toshiba has developed an intelligent wearable electronic vital signs sensor. Now you can remotely monitor the main indicators of the body, which is important for sick people, pilots, rescuers and ordinary people who are constantly worried about the condition of their loved ones.
The new sensor is equipped with a 32-bit chip, wireless data transmission system. The chip itself has dimensions of only 14,5x14,5 mm, if you add an antenna, a battery, various sensors to it, you will get one of the most compact and advanced wearable sensors for vital body functions. A sensor called Silmee simultaneously collects data on the state of the body: it makes an electrocardiogram, measures pulse, body temperature, registers movements, etc. This data can be wirelessly sent via Bluetooth to a smartphone or tablet, and from there - at least anywhere in the world.
The assembled sensor will have dimensions of 25x60 mm and weigh only 10 g. Such a small size and weight will allow it to be used in a wide variety of applications: from monitoring the condition of a postoperative patient, to tracking soldiers during exercises and children at school.
Currently, there are many fairly compact medical devices on the market, such as electronic blood pressure monitors or thermometers. Silmee combines all these devices in one compact package and paves the way for the development of new medical services. In addition, many "non-standard" applications are possible in the field of nursing, monitoring children. Also, Silmee can act as hardware for mobile applications, for example, determining how much you like a certain person.
