How little has been lived, how much has been experienced!

Nadson S.Ya.

Phraseologism: How little has been lived, how much has been experienced!

Meaning: About a short period of time during which a person happened to experience many different events.

Origin: From the poem "The Veil Has Been Dropped" (1882), popular at the end of the 1862th century. Russian poet Semyon Yakovlevich Nadson (1887-XNUMX).

Random phraseology:

The joy of Russia is to drink.

Meaning:

As a "historical" self-justification of all those who like to "drink and eat" (jokingly ironically).

Origin:

From the chronicle "The Tale of Bygone Years" by the ancient Russian chronicler Nestor (second half of the 1015th - early XNUMXth centuries), which tells how the Kyiv prince Vladimir Svyatoslavovich, or St. Vladimir (d. XNUMX) chose the faith for Russia. From the adoption of Islam, which forbade the use of wine, he refused: Russia is the joy of drinking, we cannot be without it. And therefore, Prince Vladimir preferred Orthodoxy, since the Orthodox Church does not prohibit the use of wine and even uses the latter in the rite of communion.

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. ... >>

TV damages the brain 11.12.2015

We hear so often about the harm from the TV that someone might have a question - is there any evidence of this very harm?

The study by Kristine Yaffe of the University of California at San Francisco involved more than 3 people aged 000 to 18 who were followed for 30 years: they were regularly asked how much time they spend in front of the TV, and Do they do any physical exercise? Then, after 25 years, they were asked to perform a series of cognitive tasks that could be used to determine the speed of assimilation of information, verbal memory (that is, how much of what was said a person can keep in mind at a time) and the ability to organize their own activities (that is, the ability to plan, distribute attention between different tasks, etc.).

The results were as follows: those who spent three or more hours in front of the TV daily, in tests of mental abilities (not in all, but in several), showed lower results than others. Those who exercised little—exercise was measured by time and intensity—showed poor results on any one of the tests. As for those who also watched a lot of TV, and at the same time neglected physical education, the likelihood that they would fail any of the tests was doubled.

On the one hand, here, of course, the participants' own answers were taken into account, that is, their reports about how much time they watch TV and how often they exercise can be subjective. On the other hand, they were observed for quite a long time - as much as 25 years. The authors of the work themselves cannot say what specific physiological mechanisms link the time spent in front of the TV and the deterioration of mental abilities (note that such a deterioration happened in not quite old people).

The content of the TV programs in this case was not followed, so, obviously, the whole point here is the notorious inactivity; one must think that sitting in front of a computer or laptop monitor for a long time can lead to exactly the same consequences. From this point of view, there is nothing new here - there are a lot of works on the correlation between physical education, sports, yoga, and so on. and brain state. Exercise is known to help the brain fight aging by providing a good blood supply to areas of the brain that are critical for higher cognitive tasks.

And long daily walks improve memory in older people. However, most of these studies are carried out rather quickly, and they usually focus on the elderly. As for long-term projects, like the one we described above, they are, for obvious reasons, performed much less often, but the results they look more convincing - and more frightening: it turns out that you need to think about the state of your own brains from youth, when no one can do it.
