Unknown Soldier
Mikhalkov S.V.
Phraseologism: Unknown Soldier.
Meaning: It is used in the literal sense, as a symbol of all the dead soldiers, whose names have remained unknown.
Origin: For the first time, this concept itself (as well as a memorial) appeared in France, when on November 11, 1920, an honorary burial of an unknown soldier who died in the First World War was made in Paris near the Arc de Triomphe. And then the inscription "Un soldat inconnu" appeared on this memorial and the Eternal Flame was solemnly lit. Then, in England, at Westminster Abbey, a memorial appeared with the inscription "Soldier of the Great War, whose name is known to God." Later, such a memorial appeared in the United States, where the ashes of an unknown soldier were buried at the Arlington Cemetery in Washington. The inscription on the tombstone: "Here lies a famous and honored American soldier, whose name only God knows." In December 1966, on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Moscow, the ashes of an unknown soldier were transferred to the Kremlin wall from a burial place near the 41st kilometer of the Leningradskoye Highway. On the slab lying on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, there is an inscription: "Your name is unknown. Your deed is immortal" (the author of the words is the poet Sergei Mikhalkov).
Random phraseology:
The book is the life of our time.
Meaning:
A book always reflects the time in which it was written, its atmosphere, ideas, values, public sentiment, etc.
Origin:
From a review of the book by Vladimir Odoevsky "Children's Tales of Grandfather Iriney" (1840) by Vissarion Grigoryevich Belinsky (1811-1848): "The book is the life of our time. Everyone needs it - both old and young, and businesslike, and doing nothing, children, too." |

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. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Life in the city is healthier than in the countryside
03.05.2004
Approximately this conclusion was led by a study carried out by the National Center for Intelligent Growth at the University of Maryland (USA).
Collected data on the health of more than 200 thousand residents of 83 large American cities and 448 administrative districts, consisting of small towns, towns and individual farms. It turned out that the closer to nature the landscape of the area, the higher the average weight of its inhabitants.
A resident of a large city is on average three kilograms lighter than a "villager" (for all the conventionality of this term for modern America), he has lower blood pressure, he is less likely to get diabetes and walks more.
According to the head of the research team Reid Ewing, the whole point is precisely in this last feature of behavior. In cities, everything is closer - and shops, places of entertainment, and even work are often within walking distance. And a resident of the countryside is forced to go to work, shopping, and going to the cinema by car.
