Goodbye, unwashed Russia
Lermontov M.Yu.
Phraseologism: Farewell, unwashed Russia.
Meaning: Usually cited playfully-ironically under appropriate circumstances.
Origin: From a poem (1841) by M. Yu. Lermontov (1814-1841), who wrote these lines before his departure for a second exile in the Caucasus. Blue uniforms were worn by gendarmes of the Third Department of the Chancellery of the Russian Emperor Nicholas I ("Okhranka"): "Farewell, unwashed Russia, // A country of slaves, a country of masters, // And you, blue uniforms, // And you, obedient people .. ."
Random phraseology:
Kisey lady.
Meaning:
A pampered, unadapted person (neglect).
Origin:
The turnover goes back to N. G. Pomyalovsky's story "Petty Bourgeois Happiness" (1860), the heroine of which wore a muslin dress. The expression became famous after the article by D. I. Pisarev "The novel of a muslin girl" (1865). The expression appeared in the word kisei, which is an expensive and extremely light, transparent paper fabric of plain weave, which was originally intended for draperies, curtains, etc. Provincial young noblewomen dressed up in such matter, bringing mystery and exoticism to their image. Thus, "muslin girl" is a fashionista. |

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 How to protect yourself from sea robbers
22.01.2001
Japanese designers are developing ways to protect against the attacks of sea pirates, which suffer ships in Southeast Asia.
The Togapotop system (translated as "tiger cage") reacts to the hit of metal hooks, which are the main weapon of pirates, on the deck of the ship. When hit by such hooks, the wire stretched along the sides bends or breaks, as a result of which a system of mirrors and fiber optic cables is activated, and a powerful searchlight is turned on, illuminating the place of attack.
Another system - Seajack Alarm - is based on the use of satellite tracking of the location of ships, speed and direction of movement.
