And pale death looks at everyone

Derzhavin G.R.

Phraseologism: And pale death looks at everyone.

Meaning: About mortal danger, about death as the inevitable end of the life of every person.

Origin: From the ode "On the death of Prince Meshchersky" (1779) by Gavrila Romanovich Derzhavin (1743-1816): "Where there was a table of dishes, there is a coffin, // Where feasts were heard, // Tombstone faces howl there, // And death is pale on looks at everyone."

Random phraseology:

You can’t beat the whip with your butt.

Meaning:

It is useless to fight with a stronger side, it is useless to do anything, the expended strength will go to waste.

Origin:

Butt - the blunt side of a sharp tool (usually an ax), opposite the blade. The origin of the expression is associated with skirmishes between coachmen and attacking robbers: the whip is with the coachman, the ax is with the robber. The image is based on the opposition of a flexible whip to a solid metal butt.

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. ... >>

Audfly Focusound glass speaker with directional sound 07.04.2023

Hong Kong-based electronic acoustic solutions company Audfly has been working on glass for directional sound transmission since 2019. However, only now the company has announced its intention to release a finished product by presenting the Focusound solution on the Kickstarter platform. The novelty is positioned as a substitute for headphones - the speaker directs the sound exactly to the user.

The use of ultrasound for directional sound transmission is not really a new idea. Technologies for immersing in a user's personal "sound bubble" without disturbing others present in the room have been invented for a long time - in theory, this allows you to do without headphones. However, Audfly claims to be the only one to have built the first device of its kind using clear glass.

The result of several years of research and development is a speaker made from a laminated glass panel, which in turn consists of many small "vibration blocks" that direct sound directly at the listener. The 14" glass is enclosed in an aluminum frame. The model has a folding stand to optimize installation angles. In addition, other objects can be demonstrated behind transparent glass without fear that this will affect the "delivery" of sound to the user.

Focusound also has a special module for connecting other devices: TVs, computers, game consoles and even smartphones via cable or via Bluetooth. In addition, according to the company, the system uses the Multiple SoundZone algorithm to create surround sound. The speaker has a range from 400 Hz to 20 kHz, the sound pressure level is 74 dB, the total harmonic distortion is less than 10%.

However, the product does not claim to be the best solution for true audiophiles. According to the developers, the main focus is on the ability of the device to generate directional sound, with which you will not disturb others, and not on the purity of the sound.

The speaker is offered on Kickstarter for $329 for a single order and $419 for two at once. Retail prices are expected to be $699 for the Solo variant and $969 for the Duo bundle. If the project goes ahead as planned, deliveries should begin as early as June this year. It is known that there are still 33 days left before the fundraising ends, and Audfly has already raised more than $208 with the required $5095.
