Not without good souls in the world
Nekrasov N.A.
Phraseologism: Not without good souls in the world.
Meaning: There are still good people, there is someone to ask for help, assistance, etc.
Origin: From the poem "Schoolboy" (1856) by N. A. Nekrasov (1821-1877). The hero of the poem turns to a poor boy going to school: "Not without good souls in the world - // Someone will take you to Moscow, // You will be at the university - // The dream will come true!"
Random phraseology:
Victory has a thousand fathers, and defeat is always an orphan.
Meaning:
The culprit of failure, unlike the winner, does not seek publicity.
Origin:
Phrase of the 35th President (1961-1963) of the United States John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917-1963). This is how he commented (April 21, 1961) on the reaction in the United States to the failure of the American landing in the Bay of Pigs (Bay of Pigs) in Cuba. But this is only a new edition of a phrase known from ancient times. For example, the Roman historian Tacitus in his work "Agricola" wrote: "In every war [...] everyone attributes luck to himself, and the blame for misfortunes is laid on one" (translated by A. S. Bobovich). There is also an entry in the "Diary" of Italian Foreign Minister Galeazzo Ciano (1903-1944): "As usual, victory has a hundred fathers, and defeat is an orphan" (entry dated September 9, 1942, published in 1946). |

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.

| Random news from the Archive Connecting a car to a smart home
19.06.2014
A cloud service has been announced, with the help of which car owners will be able to control the air conditioner and other household appliances while being in the cabin of their car. For this, a smartphone and a special application will be used.
Japanese companies Toyota and Panasonic are preparing to introduce a cloud service that allows you to link cars and household appliances. The project is planned to be launched in the second half of 2014.
The jointly created service combines the Panasonic cloud, which collects data on home electronics, with the Toyota Smart Center cloud system, connected to the car using a mobile device and an appropriate application. The program, using access to the GPS coordinates of the vehicle, for example, will remind the driver that the air conditioner is not turned off.
Being in his car, the user will be able to remotely stop the operation of the household appliance or, on the contrary, turn it on on the way home. The mobile application will allow you to preheat food in a microwave oven, boil water in an electric kettle and ensure a comfortable temperature in the rooms.
Toyota and Panasonic intend to continue working together to improve technology and develop cloud-based mobility solutions that connect people, cars, homes and surrounding infrastructure into a single communication space.
