Haroun al-Rashid

Thousand and One Nights

Phraseologism: Haroun al-Rashid.

Meaning: 1. A wise ruler close to the people. 2. A fabulously rich person who distributes wealth with a generous hand, helps people, etc. (jokingly ironic).

Origin: More precisely, Harun-ar-Rashid, the Caliph of Baghdad (786-809), idealized by Arabic folklore. In the tales of "A Thousand and One Nights" Harun al-Rashid is the patron of the arts, a wise, just father of the people, in an effort to find out the needs of the poorest population, he wanders, disguised as a merchant, through the streets of Baghdad, usually accompanied by his vizier Jafar Barmakid. "Rashid" is Arabic for "just". The historical caliph Harun al-Rashid is completely different from the idealized image of the Thousand and One Nights.

Random phraseology:

Understand in sausage scraps.

Meaning:

To understand nothing, not to comprehend, not to understand (cf: "like a pig understands someone in oranges."), is more often used in the form of a question: "what do you understand in sausage scraps?"

Origin:

Sausage trimmings - leftovers from sausage cutting (tails, rings), which are usually thrown away. The expression arose as a result of rethinking the original meaning (what can be understood in the garbage?).

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.

Apple watch strap will prevent a heart attack 19.03.2016

AliveCor has released a "smart" watch strap for Apple Watch, which will help to follow the user's heart and in some cases even save his life. According to the developers, this is the first device of this type, which, by the way, has passed clinical trials. Kardia Band is able to recognize abnormalities in the heartbeat and prevent a heart attack.

The novelty was developed in the USA and will soon go to sales channels in the UK. Communication with the device is organized using a special mobile application that allows you to monitor the electrocardiogram, issue warnings, save the history of measurement results, and can recognize atrial fibrillation. It is possible to synchronize data with the smartphone of the attending physician, so that he can quickly respond to critical situations. There is also integration with the Health app that comes with iPhone smartphones.

The release of Kardia Band is scheduled for the next two months. The price of the device will be about 200 pounds. Heart attack is one of the top five causes of premature death in the UK, according to NHS Choices, so the Kardia Band could be popular.
