Protection from the fool
Ilya Ilf and Yevgeny Petrov
Phraseologism: Fool protection.
Meaning: Protection of equipment from careless or inept handling
Origin: Literal translation from English: Foolproof. It is first found in the book (12) "One-story America" (1936) by Soviet writers Ilya Ilf (1897-1937) and Evgeny Petrov (1903-1942): "High technology is afraid of a person and does not believe in his ingenuity. Wherever possible , she tries to protect herself from the mistakes inherent in a living being. The name was invented cruel, scourging - protection from a fool! The English term "foolproof" ("safe, protected from careless or inept handling") originated no later than 1902.
Random phraseology:
Knight without fear and reproach.
Meaning:
About a brave and honest man (jokingly-iron.).
Origin:
From French: "Le Chevalier sans peur et sans reproche". The title that the King of France Francis I granted to the famous French knight Pierre du Terrail Bayard (1476-1524), who became famous for his exploits in battles and victories in tournaments. In addition, the king appointed him as commander of the company of his personal guard, thereby equating him with the princes of the blood, and also honored him with knighting the king himself, that is, Francis himself. Bayard died in one of the battles in Italy. Dying, he asked his comrades to lean him against a tree so that he could die the way he always wanted - standing, facing the enemy. The title of "knight without fear and reproach" was also worn by another outstanding commander of France - Louis de la Tremouille (1460-1525). This expression became common after the anonymous French novel (1527) was widely circulated under the title "A most pleasant, amusing and restful story composed by an honest servant about the events and deeds, successes and exploits of a good knight without fear and reproach, the glorious lord Bayard." |

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. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Cricket and carrot food print
07.10.2022
3D printing will help consumers overcome immediately in the consumption of insects. This conclusion was made by researchers at the University of Singapore Technology and Design (SUTD).
An aging population will increase the demand for protein-rich foods. Insects and algae can become a powerful source of protein. The production of these products has less impact on the climate and does not require as many additional resources, the researchers say.
But feeding the planet with insects is not an easy task. Naturally, people are disgusted as soon as they see a beetle on their plates, or even mentally imagine such food.
"The look and taste of these alternative proteins is confusing to many," says SUTD professor Chua Chi Kai.
Professor Chua is co-author of a new study, "A Systems Engineering Approach to Optimize Multi-Component Alternative Food Inks for Protein-Enriched 3D Printing." He believes 3D printing could be a viable solution to help increase the attractiveness of insects as an alternative food.
As an experiment, the researchers suggested pairing crickets with regular foods to get a more familiar taste. In particular, they created an optimized ink containing only three ingredients: carrot powder, white komashi and xanthan gum.
Carrot powder provides mechanical strength, flavor, nutrients and color to the finished ink. The result is quite attractive.
