Sim win
Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantine
Phraseologism: Sim won.
Meaning: Only by acting in a certain way, under certain conditions, can victory and success be achieved.
Origin: Old Church Slavonic version of the Latin expression Hoc signo vinces [hok signo vinces]. Literally: With this sign you will win. From the work "The Life of Tsar Constantine" by the Byzantine historian Evebius Pamphilus (263-340). In this work, he reports that the Roman emperor Constantine, on the eve of the battle with Maxentius, saw a cross in the sky, under which were the words: "With this sign you will conquer." And when Constantine won this battle, he finally believed in God, stopped the persecution of Christians and made Christianity the state religion of Rome. But all of the above is nothing more than a Christian legend. As many sources indicate, Constantine never renounced the traditional cult of the Roman gods.
Random phraseology:
The bullet is a fool, the bayonet is well done.
Meaning:
At present, in the new conditions of warfare, these words are used ironically, as a phrase-symbol of harmful conservatism, hatred, neglect of modern military technologies, etc.
Origin:
From the "Suzdal Institution" manual for combat training of troops, written (1796) by commander Alexander Vasilievich Suvorov (1730-1800) and published (1806) under the title Science of Victory. Original: Save a bullet for three days, and sometimes for a whole campaign, as there is nowhere to get it. Shoot rarely, but accurately, if hard with a bayonet. The bullet will miss, the bayonet will not miss: the bullet is a fool, the bayonet is well done. The same idea of A. V. Suvorov is found in another of his aphorisms: "One person can stab three with a bayonet, where there are four, and a hundred bullets fly into the air" (Zavety Suvorov. M., 1943). |

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 Coradia iLint hydrogen trains
16.11.2022
The Rhein-Main Transport Association (RMV) presented Alstom's first hydrogen-powered Coradia iLint train in Frankfurt am Main, which will start transporting passengers on non-electrified lines in the Taunus region near the city from December 2022.
After the presentation, the train made a test drive to the Hochst Industrial Park, where a hydrogen refueling station is located, built by the park operator, Infraserv Hochst.
RMV will have the world's largest fleet of hydrogen fuel cell powered passenger rolling stock.
A EUR 500 million contract for the supply of 27 Coradia iLint trains was signed with Alstom in May 2019.
The first trains will start operating on the RB2022 Frankfurt/Main-Brandoberndorf route from December 15, the rest will be available to RMV until spring 2023 and will gradually be put into operation on three other routes that include non-electrified lines.
All these routes will be operated by Regionalverkehre Start Deutschland, a subsidiary of the German Railways (DB), which will replace the former operator, Hessische Landesbahn (HLB).
At the same time, during the transition period, until the end of April 2023, HLB will continue to operate routes RB11 and RB16 to ensure uninterrupted passenger transportation by diesel trains until the commissioning of all new trains with hydrogen fuel.
Under the terms of the contract, Alstom will take over the maintenance of the trains and will be responsible for their readiness and operation for 25 years.
At Alstom's request, the maintenance and repair of the trains will be carried out by DB Regio employees at the DB depot in Griesheim.
