What does the popular emoji with closed eyes and a blue bubble near the mouth mean?

Often used to express sadness, sadness or crying, the emoticon is used incorrectly. According to the Unicode standard, this emoji is called "sleepy face", which means that the blue bubble symbolizes a dream, not a tear.

Can you name at least one Irish saint?

Saint Patrick (385-461) is the patron saint of Ireland, but he was not born there at all and has nothing to do with the Irish family.

By nationality, he is British - from the north or west of the country. His birthplace is traditionally referred to as Bannavem or Bannaventa Taberniae.

For a very long time it was believed that this was an ancient settlement in the area of the River Severn or in the Welsh county of Pembrokeshire, but the latest and rather convincing version is the village of Banwell in Somerset.

As a young man, Patrick was kidnapped and taken to Ireland as a slave. After six years, he managed to escape to the continent, where he became a monk. And then, many years later, Patrick returned to Ireland again, having seen a prophetic dream in which "Irish voices" asked him to bring the word of God to their homeland.

Ireland, however, has no shortage of homegrown holy talents.

Saint Brendan (4867-578?) was from County Kerry. He was born in the capital, the city of Tralee (Tralee), and in 512 he took the priesthood. An acclaimed Irish navigator, Saint Brendan is said to have reached America many centuries before Columbus (who, as we already know, did not).

Saint Columba (521-597) belonged to a very noble Irish family. After many years of wandering around the country, during which Columba preached sermons and founded monasteries, at the age of forty-two, he suddenly retires to voluntary exile on the island of Iona off the west coast of Scotland, where, along with other monks, he is engaged in missionary activities, converting the Picts to Christianity.

Saint Kevin (4987-618) was also the son of noble Irish parents. At the age of seven, he was sent to a monastery to become a priest. However, Kevin decided in his own way and became a hermit. By the time of his stay in the monastery, there is a famous legend about how a boy, during the whole Great Lent, motionlessly held a thrush's nest. On the first day of Lent, as Kevin knelt in prayer with outstretched arms, a blackbird sat on his palm and made a nest. During the entire post, he remained motionless so as not to disturb the nest, and the bird fed him with berries and nuts. By the end of Lent, the chicks hatched, and Kevin and his brethren celebrated Easter.

Saint Malachy (1094?-1148) was appointed abbot of Bangor in County Down, and by the age of thirty became Bishop of Connor and then Archbishop of Armach. According to legend, Malachi underwent a series of involuntary visions in which he "saw" every Pope, from the then-reigning Pope Innocent II to the pope who would rule during the Apocalypse. According to the prophecy of St. Malachi, the current pope, Benedict XVI, is the penultimate one.

Saint Oliver Plunket (1629-1681) was born in County Meath, studied with the Jesuits in Rome, and in 1669 was appointed Archbishop of Armach and Primate of all Ireland. In 1678, the Englishman Titus Oates accused Plunket of a fictitious conspiracy of Catholics who allegedly plotted to kill King Charles II. Plunket was charged with treason and sent to the gallows at Tyburn, where he was allowed to die before being gutted and quartered.

Saint Brigid (453?-523?), abbess of the first Irish nunnery she founded in Kildare, is known for miraculously turning used water from her bath into beer for the spiritual guests of the monastery.

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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

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. ... >>

New camouflage material against thermal cameras 13.07.2018

In the science fiction film "Predator" the hero of Arnold Schwarzenegger was hiding from the "thermal vision" of the alien, smeared with a layer of wet and cold mud. But if he had used a new "thermal camouflage" material developed by a group of scientists from the University of Manchester, then Arnold Schwarzenegger would have been much easier and more effective in hiding from a predator.

The new thin, flexible and lightweight material consists of three even thinner layers. The top layer is several sub-layers of graphene, a form of carbon whose crystal is one atom thick. The bottom layer is made of fire-resistant nylon coated with a layer of gold. The two layers are electrodes separated by a membrane impregnated with ionic liquid, an aqueous solution of several types of salts that contains both positively charged and negatively charged ions.

When a small electric current is passed through this material in a certain direction, ions begin to move from the membrane towards the graphene electrode. In a few seconds, the concentration of ions increases so much that the amount of infrared radiation from the graphene surface is drastically reduced. And since almost all night cameras register exactly infrared light, this method of blocking this radiation will make an object hidden under a layer of camouflage material invisible to cameras.

It should be noted that during previous attempts to create thermal camouflage, researchers encountered a large number of insurmountable problems, such as the hardness and fragility of the materials used, poor adaptability to environmental changes and low reaction speed. As you can see, in the case of the new material, most of these problems have been successfully solved, and the high reaction rate of the new material will allow the camouflage system to instantly adapt to changes in external temperature, which will allow the object to be plucked not to stand out from other environmental objects.

“We have implemented a completely new principle for electrically controlling the amount of infrared light emitted,” the researchers wrote. “In addition to adaptive thermal camouflage systems, this technology can be used in many other areas, ranging from adaptive infrared optics to space technology.”
