Random phraseology:

And someone put a stone in his outstretched hand.

Meaning:

About deceived hopes, expectations.

Origin:

From the poem "The Beggar" (1830) by M. Yu. Lermontov (1814-1841), which the poet wrote during his stay in Sergiev Posad. A contemporary and acquaintance of the poet E. A. Sushkova tells about the circumstances of the creation of this poem in her "Notes". Once Lermontov with a group of young people went on foot from Moscow to the Trinity-Sergius Lavra (in Sergiev Posad, 70 km from Moscow. - Comp.). “On the fourth day we came to the Lavra exhausted and hungry. In the tavern we changed our dusty dresses, washed ourselves and hurried to the monastery to serve a prayer service. We met a blind beggar on the porch. Hearing the sound of coins, the poor man crossed himself, began to thank us, saying: “God of happiness send you, good gentlemen, but the other day gentlemen also came here, also young, but naughty, mocked me: they put a full cup of pebbles. God be with them!" Praying to the saints, we hurriedly returned home to have lunch and rest. We all fussed around the table, impatiently waiting for dinner, only Lermontov did not take part in our troubles, he knelt in front of a chair, his pencil quickly ran on a piece of gray paper, and he didn't seem to notice us, didn't hear how we made noise as we sat down to dinner and started on the botvin. his pencil verses: "At the gates of the monastery of the saint // Begging for alms stood, // Powerless, pale and thin // From hunger, thirst and suffering. // He only asked for a piece of bread, // And his gaze showed living torment, // And someone put a stone // Into his outstretched hand. // So I prayed for your love // With bitter tears, with longing, // So my best feelings // Forever deceived by you!

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. ... >>

Antistress for drivers 14.07.2019

The British company Jaguar Land Rover is developing a new technology based on artificial intelligence that will target the driver's mood and try to improve it.

The system will use data from the cabin camera and biometric sensors to analyze and evaluate the driver's condition, adapting a number of functions, such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, as well as multimedia system and lighting settings. Different settings will change depending on the expression on the driver's face to help him relieve stress and calm down as soon as possible.

The new system will work on the basis of advanced artificial intelligence technologies, which will allow you to instantly adapt to subtle changes in the facial expressions of each individual person and automatically activate the appropriate settings. Over time, the system will learn the driver's preferences and be able to select the appropriate settings with maximum accuracy: changing the contour lighting, adjusting the temperature and selecting music tracks.

Jaguar Land Rover is also testing a similar technology for rear passengers, which will work based on cameras in the front headrests. If the system detects signs of fatigue, it can dim lights, darken windows and raise the temperature in the rear of the car to help passengers sleep. The system software represents a new generation of driver fatigue control technology.
