Live and let others live

Derzhavin G.R.

Phraseologism: Live and let others live.

Meaning: A call to be attentive to the interests of other people, to seek a compromise with them, a certain formula of coexistence that suits everyone.

Origin: The first line of the ode "On the birth of Empress Gremislava. L.A. Naryshkin" (1798) by Gavrila Romanovich Derzhavin (1743-1816): "Live and let others live, // But not at the expense of another, // Always be satisfied with your own, // Do not touch anything that belongs to others: // Here is the rule, the path is straight // For the happiness of everyone and everyone." Derzhavin is the author of this poetic formula, but not the very thought embedded in it, which has long existed as a proverb in different languages. In Russia, she was also widely known for her French version - "Vivons et laissons vivre les autres". The authorship of this idea is unknown. But in any case, its Russian translation became an aphorism thanks to G. R. Derzhavin. By Empress Gremislava, the poet means the Russian Empress Catherine the Great. According to legend, the expression "live and let others live" was her favorite proverb.

Random phraseology:

Goal like a falcon.

Meaning:

Very poor, has nothing.

Origin:

There are several versions of the origin of the turnover. According to the most common, the falcon here (with the emphasis on the last syllable) is an old wall-beating tool made of cast iron or iron in the form of a long and thick log or a log bound with metal. It was hung on iron chains and, swinging, they broke through the strongest fortress gates and stone walls. The surface of the falcon was smooth, "naked".

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. ... >>

Emergency power supply of the LED lamp up to 3 hours 25.12.2016

ISSATA has added one more emergency power supply unit IS 200 EK-40 for LED lamps to its product line. The main difference between the new block and the already existing IS 200 EK-17 is the battery capacity and, accordingly, the duration of the lamp.

The new emergency power supply unit (EPU) is equipped with a nickel-cadmium battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh at a voltage of 7,2 V. This battery and the available operating modes (selected by a DIP switch) allow the luminaire to work in emergency mode for at least 180 minutes.

BAP IS 200 EK-40 has four sub-ranges of operation 0-12/12-24/24-94/94-120 V. The value of the output current 350/351-250/352-63/353-50 mA depends on the selected subrange. When choosing an operating mode, you should be guided by the fact that the output voltage of the unit is higher than the voltage drop across the LED string.

IS 200 devices are designed for luminaires installed in rooms where there is a requirement for continuous emergency lighting and it is not possible to provide this lighting from backup power lines.
