Trouble still not so big hand
Krylov I.A.
Phraseologism: The trouble is not yet so big hands.
Meaning: Small, small trouble (arch.).
Origin: From the fable "The Monkey and the Glasses" (1813) by I. A. Krylova (1769-1844): "The monkey became weak in her eyes in old age, // But she heard from people, // That this evil is not yet so big: // You just need to get glasses." The expression is based on the old idiom "... a big hand." For example, "the head of a big hand", that is, a big, important boss.
Random phraseology:
You can't ride a goat.
Meaning:
He is completely unapproachable, it is not clear how to address him.
Origin:
Amusing their high patrons, using both the harp and bells for their fun, dressing up in goat and bear skins, in the plumage of a crane, these "spies" sometimes knew how to do good deals. It is possible that their repertoire included riding goats or pigs. Obviously, it was the buffoons who sometimes met with such a bad mood of a high-ranking person that "even a goat did not act on him." |

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. ... >>

At the same time, a demo period of one month is provided, when it will be possible to try the option for free.
Among the features of the subscription in BMW are the activation of intelligent cruise control, the automatic high beam system, the built-in BMW Driver Recorder dash cam, the BMW IconicSounds Sport signature soundtrack, developed by composer Hans Zimmer for the brand's electric vehicles, heated seats, and active suspension. The company emphasized that the list of available options will depend on the markets where BMW models are presented.
