Cuts soles on the go

Proverbs and sayings

Phraseologism: Cuts soles on the go.

Meaning: About a clever, roguish person, capable of fraudulent tricks (jokingly ironic).

Origin: The expression originated from a Russian folk tale about thieves. The old thief agreed to take a young guy as a comrade, but with an agreement: "I'll take ... if you steal eggs from under a wild duck, you will steal so much that she won't hear, and won't fly off the nest." - "What a curiosity!" - answered the guy. So they went together, found a duck's nest and crawled to it on their belly. While the uncle (the thief) was still sneaking up, the guy had already picked all the eggs out of the nest, so cunningly that the bird didn’t even move a feather, and not only picked the eggs, he cut the soles of the old thief’s boots in passing. "Well, Vanka, there is nothing to teach you, you yourself are a great master!"

Random phraseology:

Time forward!

Meaning:

About the desire to speed up events, the work begun, the process, to be in the future as soon as possible, to see it ..

Origin:

From the poem "March of Time", which sounds in the 6th act of the drama "Bath" (1930) by Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky (1893-1930). The expression became popular after the publication of the novel "Time, forward!" (1932) Soviet writer Valentin Kataev.

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 ... >>

New generation Chevrolet Volt with smart charging system 03.12.2014

Chevrolet at the auto show in Los Angeles (USA) literally lifted the veil of secrecy over the next generation Volt hybrid car, showing a fragment of its frontal part.

The car was presented in blue. Judging by what was shown to the public, the new hybrid will receive a more aggressive appearance compared to the current generation.

In addition, Chevrolet spoke about the "smart" system for recharging the battery pack. The owners of the new "Volta", in particular, will be able to set certain parameters of the recharging process for the "home" network: this can be an operating mode, charging start and end times, etc. The settings will be automatically selected by the car based on GPS coordinates, so that the motorist will not have to install them every time after arriving home.

In addition, the car will receive an informative indication of the charging status. By the color of the backlight, it will be possible to understand whether the process of replenishing energy or the machine is in the delayed start recharging mode.

The new generation hybrid will debut in January 2015 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
