Do not spare cartridges, do not give blank volleys
Trepov D.F.
Phraseologism: Do not spare cartridges, do not give blank volleys.
Meaning: The phrase is a symbol of brutal reprisal.
Origin: Words from the explanation of the St. Petersburg Governor-General Dmitry Fedorovich Trepov (1855-1906), which was pasted up on October 14, 1905 on the streets of St. Petersburg engulfed by unrest. In this appeal, D. F. Trepov informed the population that he ordered the police to suppress the riots in the most decisive way, and "if there is resistance from the crowd, do not give blank volleys and spare no cartridges." Nevertheless, three days later, on October 17, Emperor Nicholas II made a concession to the rebels, signing the famous decree on "granting" civil liberties to Russian subjects. More often, only the first half of this phrase is used.
Random phraseology:
Man does not live by bread alone.
Meaning:
For a person to be completely happy, material well-being is not enough; he needs spiritual food, moral satisfaction.
Origin:
From the Bible (Old Testament, Deuteronomy, 8:3). Moses, calming his people, tired of the long return from Egyptian captivity, said that God did not in vain subject the people of Israel to such trials: “He humbled you, made you hungry and fed you with manna, which you did not know and your fathers did not know, in order to show you, that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord, man lives.” In the New Testament, in the Gospel of Matthew, this expression is also found. When Jesus was in the wilderness and kept a long fast (4:3-4), "the tempter came to Him and said: If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread. He said to him in response: it is written:" not bread man will live alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. "In modern Russia, the expression gained additional popularity after the publication (1956) of the novel "Not by Bread Alone" by Vladimir Dudintsev (1918-1998). |

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 Purity of speech affects memory
11.11.2018
Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin and linguists from the UTsoundLab found out why information from one conversation can be remembered for a long time, while another can completely fly out of your head.
Scientists have suggested that the memorability of the material is affected by the speed and purity of speech. In order to test this hypothesis, the researchers recruited 60 people who speak English (half of them are native speakers). Participants of the experiment read 72 sentences (six blocks of 12 sentences) in two ways - "pure speech" with a slow pace, clear pronunciation and "colloquial speech", faster and not as accentuated as in the first case. After this, the sentences had to be reproduced from memory.
The experiment showed that both foreigners and native speakers remembered better the content of sentences pronounced phonetically "clearly" and slowly. Scientists have explained it this way: if a person speaks too quickly or does not articulate his thoughts clearly enough, the listener has to spend more "intellectual resources" to "decipher" what was said. Consequently, the more effort the brain spends on understanding, the less resources are left for memorizing the material.
The results of the study will be presented at a meeting of members of the American Acoustic Society.
