Monday is a hard day

Bible
Bible

Phraseologism: Monday is a hard day.

Meaning: An explanation for the failure of the business started on Monday, the unwillingness to do anything on that day.

Origin: There are two versions of the origin of this turnover: 1) the expression goes back to pagan superstition that Monday is the day of the Moon, the patroness of sorcery, sorcery and witchcraft. Therefore, a person who started a business on Monday risked facing the opposition of sorcerers, 2) Monday, according to superstitious ideas, is a black, hard day. On this day, previously superstitious people did not start business, did not go on the road. There is a belief about this day, based on the fact that, according to the Bible, God, having created the world, after five of the six days of creation, repeated: "And it was good." Only after the second day - Monday - this phrase is not in the Bible.

Random phraseology:

Good must be with fists.

Meaning:

Good can be good when it is able to defend itself, resist evil and defeat it.

Origin:

The first line of the poem "Kindness must be with fists ..." (1959) by the Soviet poet Stanislav Yuryevich Kunyaev (b. 1932): "Kindness must be with fists // Good must be harsh." As the poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko writes in his anthology "Strophes of the Century" ("Note from the Compiler", 1995), the theme "Kindness must be with fists" "gave us, students (of the Literary Institute. - Comp.), Svetlov to exercise." As the critic Lev Anninsky testifies, "as soon as this phrase escaped from Mikhail Svetlov, two of his young brothers wrote poems hyped from this phrase" ("Nut Kernel", 1965). Stanislav Kunyaev himself recalled this as follows: "Svetlov said something like that goodness should be able to defend itself. [...] "Here's a topic for you, write each poem." And I wrote, Yevtushenko wrote, someone wrote more. It turned out that mine turned out to be the best "(from an interview with Nezavisimaya Gazeta, November 30, 1995). Thus, Mikhail Arkadyevich Svetlov (1903-1964) can also be considered a co-author of this line. Apparently, therefore, Yevgeny Yevtushenko prefaced his poem "Anger" (1955) with an epigraph-statement of Svetlovsky's authorship: "M. Svetlov" - the line "Good should be with fists."

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. ... >>

Triple camera in smartphones - the trend of the mobile industry 17.06.2018

The Vice President of Marketing at DxOMark Image Labs, which specializes in researching the photopotential of professional cameras and smartphones, shared his vision of the future regarding the technical growth of mobile devices in the indicated direction.

Nicolas Touchard believes that the next industry trend that will undoubtedly be picked up by leading manufacturers will be equipping smartphones with triple cameras. Following the example of Huawei, which arranged three separate modules for the rear camera of the P20 Pro smartphone, others will follow. Ultimately, the triple camera will be the unspoken standard for the flagship gadgets of 2019, and subsequently get to the devices of the middle price segment.

According to Mr. Tachard, the current restrictions on the overall dimensions of the installed photomodule, regulated by the thickness of the smartphone, can only be circumvented by using three or even four sensors to operate one camera. It is this approach that is perceived by many developers as an affordable and technologically acceptable alternative to innovative perspectives. An important role in all this will still be played not by the quantity, but by the quality of the selected components, as well as software optimization. However, all things being equal, the addition of an additional lens can turn into an advantage over competitors in order to secure the status of the best solution on the market.

Third-party experts are sure that the number of sensors in the camera is not a priority for achieving the reference quality of photography. It will be possible to do without three or four modules if the emphasis is on the software component. We are talking about improving algorithms that imitate the behavior of artificial intelligence and allow you to independently select the optimal modes and settings during shooting, as well as take part in image post-processing. AI-like software behaviors are seen as an essential attribute of any smartphone.
