How young we were

Dobronravov N.N.

Phraseologism: How young we were.

Meaning: Recollection of past youth, events, feelings of that time (jokingly ironic).

Origin: From a song written by the composer Alexandra Pakhmutova to the words of the poet and prose writer Nikolai Nikolaevich Dobronravov (b. 1928) for the film "My Love in the Third Year" (1977): "Nothing on earth passes without a trace, // And the youth that has gone is still immortal. // How young we were, // How sincerely we loved, // How we believed in ourselves!" Perhaps the authors of the song borrowed this phrase from the Bulgarian film "How Young We Were" (1961), filmed by director B. Zhelyazkov according to the script by X. Ganev (the film was named so in the Soviet box office.)

Random phraseology:

Burn (burn) bridges.

Meaning:

To make it impossible to return to something, cutting off your path to retreat.

Origin:

The expression is associated with the history of wars and military campaigns, during which decisive commanders, having overcome a water barrier, burned bridges behind them in order to save themselves and their soldiers from the temptation of retreat.

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. ... >>

Robot grower 17.03.2015

Despite the highest level of agricultural development in Western and Southern Europe, capable of feeding almost the whole world, few people want to work on the land. The average age of farmers is growing, and in order to attract young people, you have to go to tricks. For example, to equip the farm with all sorts of smart gizmos. That is why the international team of the "VineRobot" project, led by engineers from the Polytechnic Institute of Valencia, decided to create an electronic assistant to the winegrower.

This assistant will not reap the harvest, depriving the work of the laborers who come to the European fields from different countries to suffer. He will constantly run in the rows between the vines and check the condition of the plants. The farmer will receive all the data on his central computer and will be able to water in time, treat with pesticides, and then harvest on the most suitable day for this. The electronic assistant will not pinch off the grapes "for testing" - it is assumed that he will determine the ripeness of the berries without touching them at all.

During the first year of work, we managed to come up with some sensors and assemble a mobile platform capable of independently moving along narrow rows located on slopes, overcoming weed thickets. Installation of a stereo camera, side vision cameras and sensors is planned for 2015, as well as working out techniques for safe movement of the robot for others - its size is not small.
