Bacchus libation

Ancient Greek and Roman mythology

Phraseologism: Bacchus libation.

Meaning: A feast with wine, a feast, just drinking wine, etc.

Origin: From ancient Roman mythology. Bacchus (Greek - Bacchus, Dionysus) - the god of wine, winemaking and holidays associated with it. Both in ancient Greece and in ancient Rome, after the grape harvest, noisy festivities (orgy) dedicated to the god of wine were held. Among the Romans, when sacrificing to the gods, there was a rite of libation, when a few drops were poured from a bowl of wine onto the ground, thus sharing the drink with the gods. Naturally, when a sacrifice was made to the very god of wine - Bacchus, then a lot had to be poured out of the bowl, as well as drunk.

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 Self-propelled smart chairs 17.08.2017 "Smart" self-propelled chairs for people with disabilities will be tested by the Japanese corporation Panasonic in one of the largest transport hubs in Tokyo - Haneda International Airport. It is expected that this and other developments will be widely used already in 2020 during the Summer Olympics in Tokyo. As the name implies, Panasonic's robotic chair will move by itself - with the help of a built-in motor and batteries. Users will be able to control the device through an app on their smartphone. Built-in sensors and an image recognition system will allow the chairs to literally "see" obstacles in their path and freely navigate the airport even in the crowd - by analogy with how Panasonic HOSPI robots navigate the terrain. By constantly monitoring its position, the robotic seat will be able to choose the best routes for movement. "Smart" chairs will even be able to communicate with each other and, if necessary, "stray" into groups - for example, when a family, several disabled people or elderly people who have problems with the motor apparatus move around the airport. If a passenger arrives with luggage, the seat will “see” a sensor-equipped trolley, onto which hotel employees will load the suitcases, and go after it. One battery charge is enough for the chair for about 25 km, the speed reaches 8,9 km / h. Smart self-propelled seats were developed by Panasonic Corporation in collaboration with Whill as part of a program to equip airports in Japan with robotic assistants for tasks ranging from cleaning and transporting cargo to informing passengers. Panasonic, which has been an IOC Global Partner for almost 30 years and provides the Winter and Summer Olympic Games with audio and video equipment, expects new developments such as smart seats to help improve the transport accessibility of Japan's major infrastructure facilities ahead of Tokyo 2020.
