I will command the parade

Ilya Ilf and Yevgeny Petrov

Phraseologism: I will lead the parade.

Meaning: The words of a person who takes responsibility for the decision or leadership of any matter on himself (jokingly-iron.)

Origin: From the novel The Golden Calf (1931) by Soviet writers Ilya Ilf (1897-1937) and Evgeny Petrov (1903-1942). Words by Ostap Bender. The writer Viktor Ardov tells about the origin of this expression in the article "Wizards" (Memoirs of Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov: Sat. M., 1963): "... The famous phrase "I will command the parade" has now become something of a saying, and we remember how Ilf snatched it from the serious context of official documents and had fun repeating this phrase for a long time. Then "I will command the parade" was written in The Golden Calf. Readers began to laugh. And these four words had to be excluded from official papers because they have become ridiculous literally for everyone ... "

Random phraseology:

We willingly give what we ourselves do not need.

Meaning:

Used in the literal sense.

Origin:

From the fable "The Wolf and the Fox" (1816) by I. A. Krylov (1769-1844). One day the Fox ate her fill of chicken meat, took the prey with her in reserve and lay down to take a nap under a haystack. When the Wolf approached her and began to complain of hunger, she offered him hay - even a whole stack: "I'm ready to serve my godfather." "And my gray knight, // Caressed over the ears by the Fox, // Went home without supper."

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. ... >>

We smell not only with our nose, but also with our tongue. 02.05.2019

Scientists from the Monell Center (USA) came to such an interesting conclusion. They found that olfactory receptors found in the nasal cavity are also found in taste cells found on the tongue. This discovery could lead to the development of odor-based taste modifiers that could help fight nutrition-related diseases such as obesity and diabetes.

Smell provides detailed information about the taste quality of food, and taste, by which the tongue detects sweet, salty, sour, bitter molecules, acts as a "gatekeeper" for assessing the nutritional value and potential toxicity of food. Until now, these two systems were considered independent systems that did not interact with each other until signals from taste and olfactory receptors arrived in the brain. It turned out that they interact with each other at the very first stage.

Cell biologist Mehmet Hakan Ozdener and colleagues used methods developed at the Monell Center to culture living human taste cells (receptor cells located in the taste bud). Using genetic and biochemical methods to study taste cell cultures, the researchers found that these cells contain many key molecules that are present in olfactory receptors.

Then, turning to calcium imaging, they showed that cultured taste cells respond to odor molecules in a similar way to olfactory receptor cells. Other experiments by scientists at the Monell Center have also confirmed that a single taste cell can contain both taste and smell receptors.
