Do not be afraid of caustic condemnations, but intoxicating praises

Baratynsky E.A.

Phraseologism: Do not be afraid of caustic condemnations, but intoxicating praises.

Meaning: Criticism is objectively useful (there may be reasonable grounds for it, which means that its object can be made better, more perfect), while praise and flattery do not lead to such improvement, which causes the business to suffer.

Origin: From the poem "K ***" (1827) by Yevgeny Abramovich Baratynsky (1800-1844): "Do not be afraid of caustic condemnations, // But intoxicating praises: // More than once in a child their powerful genius // Sleeped with a dream of relaxation."

Random phraseology:

Engineers of human souls.

Meaning:

Usually about writers of the Soviet era (jokingly-iron.).

Origin:

Usually attributed to I. V. Stalin, since he used this expression (October 26, 1932) at a meeting with Soviet writers in the house of Maxim Gorky. But Stalin only repeated the statement he liked by the famous Soviet writer Yuri Karlovich Olesha (1899-1960) and thus officially introduced these words into the circle of popular expressions of his time. It is no coincidence that, using this image, Stalin sometimes clarified: "As Comrade Olesha aptly put it..."

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. ... >>

World's oldest cheese discovered 24.08.2018

The tomb of Ptahmes - a dignitary at Memphis in Egypt in the 13th century BC - was originally discovered in 1885. After being lost under the drifting sands, it was rediscovered in 2010. A few years later, archaeologists discovered several jars in it. One jar contained a hardened whitish mass and a web of cloth that could cover the jar or be used to contain its contents. Enrico Greco and his colleagues set out to analyze the whitish substance to identify it.

After dissolving the sample, the researchers isolated its protein constituents and analyzed them using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. The peptides detected by these methods indicate that the sample is a dairy product derived from cow's milk with the addition of sheep's or goat's. Characteristics of a fabric that indicate that it is suitable for holding a solid rather than a liquid.

The absence of other specific markers supports the conclusion that the dairy product was a hard cheese. Other peptides in the food sample suggest it was contaminated with Brucella melitensis, the bacterium that causes brucellosis. This potentially fatal disease is transmitted from animals to humans, usually through unpasteurized dairy products.

If the team's preliminary analysis is confirmed, the sample would represent the earliest evidence of a biomolecular disease.
