We are peaceful people, but our armored train stands on a siding

Mikhail Svetlov

Phraseologism: We are peaceful people, but our armored train stands on a siding.

Meaning: 1. About self-confidence. 2. A warning to your opponents, opponents to be more careful in their actions (jokingly ironic).

Origin: From "The Song of Kakhovka" written by the composer Isaak Dunayevsky to the words of the poet Mikhail Svetlov (1903-1964) for the film "Three Comrades" (1935, director Semyon Timoshenko).

Random phraseology:

An ordinary miracle.

Meaning:

About something unlikely (long-awaited), which nevertheless became a fact, a reality. An analogue of the obvious - the incredible (jokingly ironic).

Origin:

The title of a fairy tale play (1956) by the Soviet playwright Yevgeny Lvovich Schwartz (1896-1958). The play became especially popular after its adaptation (directed by Mark Zakharov). E. L. Schwartz himself wrote about the meaning of this expression in the prologue of his play: "An ordinary miracle" - what a strange name! If a miracle means extraordinary! And if ordinary - therefore, not a miracle. The answer is that we are talking about love. A boy and a girl fall in love with each other - which is common. Quarreling - which is also not uncommon. Almost die of love. And finally, the strength of their feelings reaches such a height that it begins to work real miracles - which is both surprising and usual.

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. ... >>

wood-based nanofiber 21.08.2017

A global push among automakers to make ever lighter vehicles is prompting some manufacturers in Japan to turn to what seems like an unlikely substitute for steel.
Japanese researchers and auto parts makers say the new wood-pulp material weighs only one-fifth that of steel and could be five times stronger than metal.

Cellulosic nanofibers are used in products ranging from inks to transparent displays, but their potential use in cars has been included in the "Kyoto Process," in which chemically treated wood fibers are kneaded into plastics. This method reduces the cost of production by about one-fifth of the cost of other processes.

It is the cheapest, high-performance cellulose nanofiber product, which is why we are focusing on it for use in automotive and aviation parts, said Kyoto University professor Hiroaki Yano.
