Everything great earthly scatters like smoke

Johann Friedrich Schiller

Phraseologism: Everything great earthly scatters like smoke.

Meaning: Everything passes, even states collapse, it’s just that everything has its time.

Origin: From the poem "The Triumph of the Victors" (1829) by Vasily Andreevich Zhukovsky (1783-1852), which is a translation of the ballad of the same name ("Das Siegesfest") by the German poet Johann Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805). "Everything great earthly / Scatters like smoke: / Today the lot has fallen to Three, / Tomorrow will fall to others."

Random phraseology:

Bring under the monastery.

Meaning:

Put in a difficult, unpleasant situation, bring under punishment.

Origin:

There are several versions of the origin of the turnover. Perhaps the turnover arose because people who had big troubles in life usually left for the monastery. According to another version, the expression is connected with the fact that Russian guides brought enemies under the walls of monasteries, which during the war turned into fortresses (bring a blind man under a monastery). Some believe that the expression is associated with the hard life of women in Tsarist Russia. Only strong relatives could save a woman from her husband's beatings, having achieved protection from the patriarch and the authorities. In this case, the wife "brought her husband to the monastery" - he was exiled to the monastery "in humility" for six months or a year.

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. ... >>

Silk preserves blood cells at high temperatures 13.05.2016

Researchers at Tufts University in the US have found a way to stabilize blood samples for long periods of time without refrigeration - by encapsulating them in dry silk protein.

The scientists mixed purified silk protein powder extracted from silkworm cocoons with blood or plasma and dried the resulting mixture. The resulting films were stored at a temperature of 22-45 degrees Celsius. After a certain time, the blood samples were successfully restored by dissolving the film in water and are ready for analysis.

Blood biomarkers in this case can be successfully assessed even after storage for 84 days at temperatures up to 45 degrees Celsius. This provides better protection than the current approach of drying the sample on paper, especially at the elevated temperatures that can occur during overseas shipping and during the summer.

"This approach should facilitate the collection of outpatient blood tests for disease screening and monitoring purposes, especially for socially vulnerable populations, as well as to meet the needs of researchers and clinicians who do not have access to a centralized testing system. For example, the method will be useful for large-scale epidemiological studies in remote areas,” explains project leader David L. Kaplan.
