Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger

Phraseologism: Teaching, learning.

Meaning: A person best learns a subject when he shares his knowledge with other people.

Random phraseology:

Roman cucumber.

Meaning:

Ridiculous fiction, excessive exaggeration (iron.).

Origin:

From the fable "The Liar" (1812) by I. A. Krylov (1769-1844). A certain traveler tells about what he saw, obviously lying: “Here in Rome, for example, I saw a cucumber: // Oh, my creator! // And to this day I don’t remember! // Would you believe it? Well, right, he was !" I. A. Krylov borrowed the plot of the fable from the German writer Christian Fürchtegott Gellert (1715-1769). Krylov's line has turned into a folk proverb: "It's good to tell a fairy tale about a Roman cucumber."

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 ... >>

Overweight people are happier 24.12.2017

Less thoughts about the figure - less anxiety; many guessed about it, and British psychologists confirmed it with survey data.

Overweight people feel happier than thin people. This conclusion was made by scientists from the University of Bristol, after analyzing the results of surveys of more than 500 Britons aged 37 to 73 years.

Experts noticed that subjects with a high body mass index were more calm. "Participants with a tendency to be overweight were less likely to be nervous and anxious," they concluded, based on medical records.

According to researchers, people who constantly compromise with themselves in matters of nutrition are less able to cope with negative emotions. At the same time, those who do not limit themselves show greater psychological resilience.

At the same time, doctors emphasize that, despite the positive psychological effect, being overweight is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and stroke.
