Fight and seek, find and don't give up

Alfred Tennyson

Phraseologism: Fight and seek, find and never give up.

Meaning: About fidelity to one's purpose and principles.

Origin: From English: "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield". The original source is the poem "Ulysses" by the English poet Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892). These lines were carved on a tombstone that was placed (January 1913) in Antarctica on top of "Observer Hill" in memory of the English polar explorer Robert Scott (1868-1912). In an effort to reach the South Pole first, he nevertheless came to him second, three days after the Norwegian pioneer Roald Amundsen had been there. Robert Scott died on the way back. In Russian, these words became popular after the publication of the novel "Two Captains" by Veniamin Kaverin (1902-1989). The protagonist of the novel, Sanya Grigoriev, who dreams of polar campaigns, makes these words the motto of his whole life (vols. 1, 14).

Random phraseology:

Piano in the bushes.

Meaning:

An obviously pre-prepared impromptu, or an unnatural, artificial turn of the plot of a work of art, presented by the author as an accident.

Origin:

The phrase originates from the pop miniature "Quite by accident" (from the parody review "The Thirteenth Program"), composed by Arkady Arkanov and Grigory Gorin in 1963, which parodied typical Soviet television clichés inherent in documentary programs. In the parody, the presenter meets a pensioner on the boulevard, who "accidentally" turns out to be a former production leader, and talks with him. During the conversation, suitable characters and objects are constantly turned up. When, finally, it turns out that the hero knows how to play music, it turns out that he took with him a violin on which Oginsky's polonaise plays, and after that - that there is a piano on the boulevard in the bushes, on which the hero can play to viewers, he comments on the latter with words : "There is a piano by chance in the bushes here, I can play." The comedy of the situation was emphasized by the phrase "completely by accident", which the presenter used constantly.

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. ... >>

Potato milk 27.01.2018

A researcher from the University of Lund (Sweden), Eva Thornberg, took up the development of potato milk. One of the motives for creating the drink is allergy. In Norway, 1-3% of the population suffers from allergies to milk and dairy products. People with lactose intolerance need an alternative replacement.

"One of the concerns is the fortification of milk from potatoes with essential omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are mainly found in fatty fish," said Eva Thornberg.

Omega-3 acids are useful in that they eliminate the negative effects of harmful fatty acids and neutralize their oxidation products in the human body. It is technically difficult to convert a vegetable base into a creamy product such as milk. This is because plant proteins are more difficult to extract than animal proteins.

Thornberg discovered that creaminess can be achieved when the protein and starch in potatoes are heated in a certain way and mixed with canola oil, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

According to the scientist, potato milk will contain 6% rapeseed oil. This means that 250 ml of alternative milk will cover half of the daily requirement of omega-3. In addition, the new dairy product does not contain allergens. In the future, potato milk will be marketed as an alternative to regular milk, yogurt, cream and ice cream.

The drink has already been tested in laboratory conditions, so it will probably go on sale this year. At first, most likely, it will be a cocktail of potato milk with apple juice and fruit.

The method of making the emulsion is patented under the name of Veg of Lund.
