Sinless Income

Nekrasov N.A.

Phraseologism: Sinless income.

Meaning: Bribes accepted in the form of voluntary offerings, which - in the opinion of chicanery officials - are not prohibited by law, and therefore are considered lawful, sinless.

Origin: Apparently, this expression was introduced into literary speech by Nekrasov, who used it in the poem "Masha" (1851): "He was a man of a new breed: // He understood honor exclusively // And even sinless income // He called it theft, liberal! "

Random phraseology:

Take / take on a pencil something.

Meaning:

To make a note, a note for memory, write something down (publ.).

Origin:

The expression arose among journalists, reporters, writers who, by the nature of their activities, quickly record their life observations. Brief notes at the place of observation of any events serve as material for further work. It is also assumed that the expression is formed by strengthening the figurative basis of the word note in the turnover to take note and replacing it with a specific one - a pencil.

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. ... >>

Space nuclear reactor tested 07.05.2018

NASA, with the support of the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), tested the Kilopower power plant, which is designed to provide energy to future American bases on the moon and Mars, as well as spacecraft for missions to the farthest corners of the solar system.

Of course, spacecraft usually use solar panels as a source of energy, but here's the problem: in the case of distance from the Sun, energy may not be enough. Alternatively, thermoelectric generators can be used, but their power is relatively small - on the order of several hundred watts, while most of these generators operate on plutonium-238.

An ideal option would be nuclear power plants, which would be useful to provide energy to promising US bases on the moon, which remain without the Sun during the 14-day lunar night. Therefore, at the end of last year, NASA launched the Kilopower project, within which it was planned to develop simple and reliable nuclear installations for space use.

Such reactors use uranium-235 as fuel, and their power can range from one to ten kilowatts. Each nuclear installation has a hollow fuel cylinder, inside of which there is a moderator rod, and outside - a neutron reflector made of beryllium oxide. Instead of thermoelectric converters, a sodium-cooled Stirling engine was used.

The Kilopower facility has been successfully tested at the Nevada test site, and the reactor has proven to be operational, stable and safe under a wide variety of conditions. Several phases of testing were carried out, in which the system went through a complete cycle from start-up, power up, operation, power reduction and shutdown in 28 hours. The space reactor coped with all the problems and never failed the testers.
