Poetic license

Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger

Phraseologism: Poetic license.

Meaning: Usually used as a playfully ironic synonym for any deviation from accuracy in the transfer of information.

Origin: From Latin: Licentia poetica. From the work "Natural Scientific Questions" (book 2) by the Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca (Lucius Annei Seneca the Younger, ca. 4th century BC - 65 AD): This is something related to poetic liberties. It is significant that the theme of "liberty", which can be used by people of art in the broadest sense, was very popular in ancient times and before Seneca. So, for example, Horace in his "Art of Poetry" wrote: Pictoribus atque poetis quidlibet audendi semper fuit aequa potestas - Painters and poets have always been allowed any liberties.

Random phraseology:

Fool protection.

Meaning:

Protection of equipment from careless or inept handling

Origin:

Literal translation from English: Foolproof. It is first found in the book (12) "One-story America" (1936) by Soviet writers Ilya Ilf (1897-1937) and Evgeny Petrov (1903-1942): "High technology is afraid of a person and does not believe in his ingenuity. Wherever possible , she tries to protect herself from the mistakes inherent in a living being. The name was invented cruel, scourging - protection from a fool! The English term "foolproof" ("safe, protected from careless or inept handling") originated no later than 1902.

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 ... >>

rare earth piglets 15.11.2003

From the beginning of 2006, the addition of antibiotics to livestock feed will be banned in Europe. Therefore, scientists are intensively looking for such additives that, while increasing weight gain, at the same time would not cause the appearance of microbes resistant to antibiotics in consumers of animal products.

Having learned that rare earth elements, such as lanthanum and cerium, have been mixed into pig feed in China since the 60s of the last century, employees of the University of Munich began testing these additives on pigs, chickens and quails. Weight gain has increased in some cases by 7 percent.

It is not yet clear how these supplements work, but they are thought to improve digestion and strengthen the immune system.
