literary general

Dostoevsky F.M.

Phraseologism: literary general.

Meaning: About a writer who occupies important places in public literary organizations, various associations and foundations, and thereby can influence the fate of his fellow writers, a functionary from literature, a writer-administrator, an official, etc.

Origin: From the novel (part 2, ch. 5) "The Humiliated and Insulted" (1861) by F. M. Dostoevsky (1821-1881): "Ah! It's you, Masloboev!" I cried, suddenly recognizing in him the former schoolboy comrade ... - well, a meeting! - Yes, a meeting! We haven’t met for six years. That is, we met, but Your Excellency didn’t deign to look, sir. After all, you are generals, sir, literary, that is, sir!. - Saying this, he smiled mockingly." Later, F. M. Dostoevsky uses this expression in a journal note "Young Pen" ("Time", 1863, book 2). This expression was often used by M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin, and it received a second life in Soviet times thanks to Maxim Gorky, who very often walked about "generals from literature", just as in the old days there were generals from cavalry, from infantry (infantry), etc.

Random phraseology:

Concept art.

Meaning:

About obscure artistic innovations (jokingly-ironic).

Origin:

From English: Conceptual Art. The author of the expression is the American art critic Henry Flint, who published a book in 1961 called "Conceptual Art".

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 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.

Clean energy overtakes coal 14.06.2020

For the first time in 130 years, US consumption of energy from renewable sources exceeded that from coal.

While the current pandemic is the main reason for the lead, experts say the trend has continued over the past six years. Coal power lost 15% and reached its lowest level in 42 years, while renewables gained 1%.

The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) predicts that clean energy will overtake coal over the course of this year. And as Dennis Wamstead, an analyst at the Institute for Economics, Energy and Financial Analysis, points out, even after the full recovery of the economy, when the pandemic ends, significant growth is not expected in the coal sector.
