You can't lure with a kalach

Proverbs and sayings

Phraseologism: You can’t lure with a kalach.

Meaning: No persuasion, no means, no promises can force anyone to enter or drive anywhere.

Origin: Russians have long eaten mainly rye bread, and kalachi for the common people were a delicacy on holidays. The expression “you won’t lure with a kalach” therefore means that you won’t attract anyone to yourself, even promising a delicious treat.

Random phraseology:

And just what was left in the newspapers: he left for Rostov.

Meaning:

Died, died.

Origin:

From the poem "Epitaph" (1803) by Ivan Ivanovich Dmitriev (1760-1837): "Here lies the brigadier, who died in his later years. // What is our fate! // Live, live, die - and just in the newspapers // Remaining : left for Rostov. In Russia XVIII-XIX centuries. it was customary to report in local newspapers about people who came to a given city and left it, indicating where they came from and where they were going. As for the expression "left for Rostov" (in the sense of died, died), then, as the Russian writer Count Evgeny Andreevich Salias writes in his story "The Brigadier's Granddaughter" (in full: Count Salias de Tournemire, 1840-1908), it arose in colloquial speeches of Muscovites during the plague of 1771 "All measures ... against the spread of pestilence (the then name of the plague) did not lead to anything ... the plague dead was buried secretly, in the garden or in the basement, and in case of publicity they swore and swore, that they had never had a dead person in their house and that the disappeared person had left Moscow. At the same time, they mostly referred to one of the outposts, where a pass from the capital was free, on the road to the city of Rostov. that he left for Rostov, the authorities knew that this man died and was secretly buried somewhere. And the expression: "left for Rostov" remained forever in the language, retaining its special implied meaning "(Salias E. A. Sobr. Op. T XIII. M.. 1895).

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 ... >>
