I carry everything with me

Biant Priensky

Phraseologism: I carry everything with me.

Meaning: Autocharacteristics of a prudent person (he has everything he needs at the moment) or poor - all the little that I have is with me (iron.).

Origin: From Latin: Omnia mea mecum porto. Words of the legendary philosopher Biant (VI century BC), one of the great “seven wise men” of Ancient Greece. According to legend, reported by Cicero, when the Persian conqueror king Cyrus was preparing to enter the Greek city of Priene in Ionia, the inhabitants began to hastily leave it, taking with them all the most valuable of their property. Only Biant walked empty-handed. And in response to perplexed questions, he said: “I carry everything that’s mine with me.” Later, this expression began to be often used in the Latin formulation, authored by the famous Roman orator Cicero (Marcus Tullius Cicero, 106-43 BC), Omnia mea mecum porto. In the latter version, these words entered world culture. Sage Biant's answer is usually interpreted in different ways. According to one version, he thereby wanted to say that the main asset of a person is the feeling of his inner dignity, according to another - the sum of knowledge, professional skills, etc., with which a person will never be lost anywhere. But the best explanation of this phrase was given by the philosopher Biant himself in his other famous saying: “The only eternal property is wisdom.”

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 ... >>

Airplane on algae 17.12.2010

The European airline concern EADS, the manufacturer of Airbuses, launched into the sky an experimental four-seater aircraft, the engines of which run on biofuel obtained from single-celled algae. From 100 kilograms of algae, 21 liters of liquid fuel are produced. "Algae" fuel is required one and a half liters per hour less than conventional aviation fuel, and engine exhaust becomes much cleaner.

True, algae fuel is significantly more expensive than oil, but the developers are confident that the mass production of a new type of fuel will significantly reduce the price.
