At the bottom

Maksim Gorky

Phraseologism: At the bottom.

Meaning: About the lowest rung of the social ladder, about the actual "falling out" of normal life.

Origin: The name of a play by Maxim Gorky (a pseudonym for Alexei Maksimovich Peshkov, 1868-1936), first staged (December 18, 1902) at the Moscow Art Theatre. The first edition of the play, published a little earlier in the same year in Munich (Germany), was called by Gorky "At the Bottom of Life". As Ivan Bunin ("From the Records") recalled, writer Leonid Andreev advised Gorky to give the play just such a more expressive title - "At the Bottom" instead of "At the Bottom of Life".

Random phraseology:

End of story.

Meaning:

Completion of some business, event (jokingly-iron.).

Origin:

From English: The End of History. Title of an article published (Summer, 1989) by Japanese-American political scientist Francis Fucujama (p. 1952) in The National Interest (USA). He wrote that human history, which previously was a history of the struggle of various teachings and ideologies, in a certain sense, ended: democratic values and the Western-style liberal economy triumph all over the world. In Russian literature, the expression "the end of history" was encountered earlier, for example, in the work of the Russian philosopher Vladimir Solovyov "Three Forces" (published in 1877).

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.

Laptops with a preinstalled OS will be released less 22.03.2013

According to Digitimes sources, weak demand for the latest version of Microsoft's software platform has become one of the reasons that leading vendors, including Lenovo, are increasing the proportion of laptops without a preinstalled operating system. Among the reasons should also be called the lack of reserves to reduce the cost of manufactured computer products.

Without pre-installed Windows 8, the cost of a laptop in a retail network will be one to two thousand new Taiwan dollars ($34-67) lower than with an operating system on board, which, of course, may be of interest to a potential buyer. Notebooks without Windows have always been shipped, but in the past their volume was limited due to pressure from Microsoft, whose influence was previously stronger.

Lenovo is expected to mainly ship such products to China, where piracy is still rampant. Sources note that other vendors may follow Lenovo's example. And this will lead to an increase in the supply of laptops without a pre-installed operating system.

Realizing that demand for Windows 8 was below expectations, Microsoft has accelerated the development of the next version of Windows Blue, which is scheduled for release in August.
