Mediocre
Proverbs and sayings
Phraseologism: Mediocre.
Meaning: 1. Untalented, mediocre. 2. Unfortunate, unfortunate, destitute.
Origin: Sometimes confusion occurs with this word, and all due to the fact that the noun from which it is formed - "talan" has its "double" in the Russian language. It is the word "talent" - similar in pronunciation, but different in meaning. "Talan", which came to us from the Turkic languages, meant "booty", "success". Therefore, "untalented" is an unfortunate, unhappy person. But this is one of the meanings of the word. The second is connected with "talent": "untalented" - "talentless", "devoid of talent". Be careful with the use of this word. Calling someone "untalented" can be misleading. After all, mediocre people are lucky, and unhappy people are talented. It is better to use the word "untalented" in a context from which it is clear what is at stake.
Random phraseology:
We are pskopskie.
Meaning:
About someone's provincial narrow-mindedness, "parochial" patriotism (iron.).
Origin:
From the Soviet film "We are from Kronstadt" (1936), directed by Yefim Dzigan and written by the writer Vsevolod Vishnevsky. A replica of a soldier of the former tsarist army, who, seeing the attacking revolutionary sailors, repeats these words in fright, thereby wanting to emphasize that he is not their enemy, he is his own, Russian (Pskov), etc. |

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 ... >>

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.
