I'm coming at you

Kievan Rus

Phraseologism: I'm going to you.

Meaning: About the intention to enter into confrontation, dispute, dispute, etc.

Origin: The legendary expression of the famous commander of Ancient Russia, the Grand Duke of Kyiv Svyatoslav I Igorevich (955-972). Before the start of hostilities, he sent a messenger to the enemy with a brief message: "I want to go against you" (in Old Russian, the accusative coincided with the nominative). Thus, saying to the enemy: "I'm coming at you," Svyatoslav deliberately warned him about his military plans, which at first glance contradicts common sense. But Svyatoslav had his own calculation. He wanted to avoid grueling campaigns across the steppe, battles with separate detachments, surprise raids, ambushes and other things that inevitably make the war long and ineffective. He wanted the enemy to gather his forces in one place, and then they could be defeated in one decisive battle. Moreover, for victory in an open field - in a large frontal clash - the Kyiv prince had more chances than his usual opponents, nomadic peoples. Unlike the steppes, Svyatoslav's army was disciplined and attacked the enemy with a kind of ancient Russian phalanx - the "wall". The "wall" consisted of 20 long lines of warriors, each of which had a shield the height of a man, a long spear, a long sword, a bow with arrows and a boot knife for close combat. But it usually didn’t come to knives: the “wall” did not lose its formation and, covered with closed shields, dealt a powerful blow to the enemy with spears of the first, second and third rows. The Old Russian phalanx was even stronger on the defensive. Participating in campaigns from the age of four (Princess Olga, going on a campaign against the Drevlyans, once took her son with her, who started the battle, first throwing his children's spear), Svyatoslav was an experienced, successful commander. And already with his mere notice of the beginning of the war, he brought confusion into the ranks of the enemy, forcing him to prepare for the rati with a bad feeling. We can say that Prince Svyatoslav was the first in the history of Russian weapons to begin to use the methods of information and psychological warfare.

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 Robot conveying emotions while reading 24.03.2022 Scientists from the Faculty of Engineering, Information and Systems of the University of Tsukuba (Japan) have developed a robot assistant for reading text messages. It can help users control their mood when reading upsetting news. This device will improve social interactions as we move towards a world that increasingly uses digital communications. An emoticon in a text message is a quick and easy way to show your indignation to someone who is late for a scheduled meeting. It often lacks the human element that would accompany a face-to-face explanation or telephone conversation. According to scientists, we are probably more upset by the fact that we, our friends, cannot realize how angry and upset we are when we have to wait for them. Researchers at the University of Tsukuba in Japan have created a hand-held robot called OMOY, which is equipped with a moving block powered by mechanical components inside its body. By moving the internal center of gravity, the robot can express simulated emotions. The prototype was created for experimental experience - this artificial intelligence is able to read and analyze text messages. It turned out that the text with unpleasant or disappointing news was accompanied by a call to OMOY not to be upset - or even sympathy for the user. The robots were designed in such a way that they could suppress not only the user's anger, but also other negative interpersonal motives - for example, change thoughts of revenge or similar negative emotions.
