May this cup pass me by

Bible
Bible

Phraseologism: May this cup pass by me.

Meaning: A way of expressing a negative attitude towards a particular scenario.

Origin: From the Bible. These words are spoken by Jesus during prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, already knowing that execution awaits him ahead. In the Gospel of Matthew (26:39) it is said: "And he departed a little, fell on his face, prayed and said: My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me, but not as I will, but as You." The same is said in other Gospels - from Mark (14:36) or from Luke (22:42): "Father, oh, if You would deign to take this cup away from Me! but not My will, but Yours be done" .

Random phraseology:

The case of tobacco.

Meaning:

Things are very bad, the situation is extremely dangerous, threatening (simply ironic).

Origin:

According to the most common version, the expression comes from a burlatsky turnover for tobacco, meaning that a dangerous depth begins. When barge haulers dragged a barge behind them, they often had to ford rivers. In order not to soak the pouch with tobacco, flint and tinder, these items were tied to the neck. When, during the transition, deep places came across, barge haulers, fearing for a pouch, shouted out the phrase "Under tobacco!" However, there are other versions of the origin of the turnover. According to one of them, the second component in the expression is a modification of the Persian word tebbah "rubbish", according to another - the turnover is connected with the fact that priests in Russia fought tobacco smokers, frightening them with the fact that in hell the devils will make them suffocate in tobacco smoke.

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. ... >>

Latex Printing Technology on Rigid Media 26.03.2018

HP Inc. announced the release of HP Latex R Series, the first HP Latex printing technology to print on flexible and rigid materials using HP Latex Inks, which deliver the most accurate color and white quality. HP Latex R Series uses a single six-color ink set, delivers unparalleled quality at high print speeds, and is the first true hybrid latex technology that brings HP's unrivaled flexible printing capabilities to rigid media.

HP Latex R Series Technology delivers high quality prints on many tough media such as foam, styrofoam, cardboard, corrugated polypropylene, hard plastics, aluminum, wood, glass and more. Unlike UV printing technology, which creates a thick layer of ink that completely covers the media and takes time to dry, HP Water-based Latex Inks maintain the look and texture of the media. They are also distinguished by the absence of smell, safety for the environment and the printer operator.

"HP Latex R Series technology sets new industry standards and enables print service providers to create stunning prints on rigid and flexible media," said Santi Morera, Head of Graphic Solutions Business, HP Inc. "Our customers can expand their range of offers with highly profitable products and services, as well as to implement creative ideas and concepts for signage and shop windows that can attract new customers."

HP White Latex Ink uses an innovative white ink recycling mechanism to prevent white ink residue and a unique storage system that automatically mixes unused white ink to minimize wastage. White Latex Ink guarantees a glossy, high quality, pure white color that will not yellow over time (unlike traditional white UV inks).

"White inks have always been a problem for the industry. Traditionally, they use larger, heavier pigment particles that often clog printheads, or the opaque mixture separates and settles to the bottom of the ink tank. Until recently, the only solution was to physically shake the tanks, - said Tom Brown, Chief Inkologist, HP Inc. "Significant chemistry and engineering improvements make the new HP White Latex Ink and HP Latex R Series technology an industry breakthrough."
