Yes - yes, no - no, what is more than that is from the evil one

Bible
Bible

Phraseologism: Yes - yes, no - no, what is more than that is from the evil one.

Meaning: It is used as a call for a clear and precise statement of position on any issue.

Origin: From the Bible. In the Gospel of Matthew (5:37), Jesus tells his listeners about the uselessness of oaths and swearing: "But let your word be: yes, yes, no, no, but what is more than this, that is from the evil one."

Random phraseology:

The left hand does not know what the right hand is doing.

Meaning:

1. About unselfishness, charity. 2. Regarding the confusion in the work of the state apparatus, institutions, when their bureaucratic links make decisions that contradict each other, give instructions that are opposite in meaning.

Origin:

From the Bible. In the Gospel of Matthew (ch. 6, verses 2-4) it is said: "Therefore, when you do alms, do not blow your trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that people glorify them. Truly I say to you: they already receive your reward. But when you give alms, let your left hand not know what your right hand is doing. So that your alms may be in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you openly. Sometimes there is an old Slavic version of the expression: "May your shuytsa not know what the right right hand is doing." The meaning of the expression: if you do good deeds, then you should not be proud of them, count them, skimp on them, and, moreover, do them for show - good should be done for the sake of good itself, not for the sake of vanity.

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 ... >>
