The transformation of Saul into Paul

Bible

Phraseologism: The transformation of Saul into Paul.

Meaning: 1. About the moral rebirth of a person, the change in his principles. 2. About ideological, political and other renegade, when, for selfish reasons, a person turns from an opponent of someone (something) into a devoted supporter, or vice versa (ironic, contempt.).

Origin: From the Bible. In the New Testament, in the Acts of the Holy Apostles, it is told how a certain Jew Saul (Saul) fiercely persecuted Christians, and after he had a wonderful vision and heard a voice coming from heaven, he accepted Christianity along with the new name Paul, given to him at baptism (9:3-6): "And as he was walking and approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven shone on him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul! why are you persecuting me? He said "Who are you, Lord? The Lord said: I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is difficult for you to go against the pricks. He said in trembling and horror: Lord! What will you command me to do?". Saul was told to go into the city. There, the disciple of Jesus Ananias came to him and "... laying his hands on him, he said: Brother Saul! The Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the path you were on, sent me so that you could receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit. fell away from his eyes, and suddenly he received his sight, and rising up, he was baptized..." (9:17-18). "And immediately he began to preach in the synagogues about Jesus, that he is the son of God. And all who heard were amazed and said: Is this not the same one who persecuted those who call on this name in Jerusalem?" (9:20-21).

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 Bullets with laser guidance 08.02.2012 American military personnel are very pleased with the XM25 rifles, whose bullets can change their trajectory if necessary. An interesting alternative was developed by scientists at the American Sandia National Laboratory, in their performance, a flying bullet follows where the laser sight points. Even if it has already flown out of the barrel. The minimal presence of homing ammunition for firearms is a problem for the defense industry and military personnel. Similarly, artillery, before the invention of homing missiles, had to use the so-called "carpet bombing", unaimed and hitting everything around. The new homing bullet is not very similar to the usual one, its length is about 10 cm, stabilizers are located on the surface of the "smart" ammunition, in addition, the bullet does not rotate in flight. An optical sensor is located in the nose of the bullet, which monitors the position of the laser dot from the sight 30 times per second. Drives located inside the ammunition turn the stabilizers, thus correcting the direction of the bullet's flight. The Sandia lab engineers conducted tests based on a computer model and in real world conditions. They found that when the target is located at a distance of 800 meters, the average error of a firearm is about 10 meters, while with new homing bullets this figure is reduced to only 20 cm. One of the most important advantages of the development is the fact that engineers used only commercially available components to make the laser-guided bullet.
