Change of marks

the USSR

Phraseologism: Change of milestones.

Meaning: Change of ideology, views, principles, priorities.

Origin: The title of a collection of articles written by Russian émigré publicists, published (July, 1921) in Prague. It is assumed that the very name of the collection "Change of milestones" belongs to Yu. V. Klyuchnikov, one of its authors. Thus, he wanted to recall a similar collection "Milestones" (1909), which its authors (Berdyaev, Bulgakov, Gershenzon and others) published in order to analyze the causes and consequences of the first Russian revolution of 1905-1907. After the publication of the collection "Change of milestones" its authors began to publish in Paris a magazine with the same name (1921-1922). In connection with the introduction of the "New Economic Policy" (NEP) in Soviet Russia, new sentiments arose among the emigrants, the main spokesman for which was N. V. Ustryalov, a lawyer, former Privatdozent of Moscow University, who actively fought against the Bolsheviks. He and his supporters viewed the NEP as a liberalization of the Communist Party's policy, as its step back "from communism to capitalism." In the hope that the NEP would lead to a rejection of the extremes of communist politics, the "Smenovekhites" announced their "reconciliation" with the Soviet regime. In the USSR, such sentiments were called ironically "Smenovekhovism" and criticized by V. I. Lenin as unfounded hopes for the degeneration of the Soviet system.

Random phraseology:

Send from Pontius to Pilate.

Meaning:

About red tape in business, when one who turns to someone with a question, without giving him an answer, is sent to another.

Origin:

The expression arose from the gospel story (Luke, 23:1-12) about how Jesus, captured by his opponents, was brought to trial by Pontius Pilate, the Roman procurator in Palestine. Pontius Pilate, having learned that Jesus was a native of Galilee, sent him to Herod, who ruled this region. When Jesus refused to answer Herod, he sent him back to Pontius Pilate. The people, accustomed to hearing two words: "Pontius" and "Pilate", perceived them as the names of two persons, while the name of Herod fell out in the popular perception of this gospel story. This is where the expression comes from.

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. ... >>

Balloons with GLONASS 01.07.2013

From 9 to 15 June, the 18th International Meeting of Balloonists was held in Velikiye Luki. For the first time in the history of the competition, balloons are equipped with the GLONASS system, and it was possible to watch the flights of the crews online.

This year 50 teams from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Tula, Nizhny Novgorod, Omsk, Perm region, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine and Belarus took part in the competition. Several cups were raffled off at the competition, including: the Cup of Russia in aeronautics, the Friendship Cup among all pilots of the competition, the Cup of Velikiye Luki, the Cup of Princess Olga, which will be awarded to the best female pilot.

Equipping the balloons with the GLONASS monitoring system is a technical innovation this year. FORT navigation equipment was installed on 15 aircraft. With the help of terminals, the speed of the balloon, its height and location are measured.

Vladimir Makarenko, Development Director of Fort-Telecom, the manufacturer of the FORT GLONASS monitoring system, notes that, as a rule, navigation terminals are used to monitor the operation and movement of vehicles, and it is connected to the vehicle's electrical circuits. “In the case of monitoring balloons at the International Meeting of Balloonists, we used terminals with a built-in rechargeable battery that holds a charge for up to 12 hours. This charge is enough for one flight, after which the battery is recharged,” Makarenko explained.

He said that in any monitoring system, data about the controlled object is transmitted to the server through stationary GSM cell towers, and there were fears that the horizontally directed antennas of the towers would not be able to provide proper signal reception at a height. Therefore, it was originally planned to install FORT navigation terminals on the balloons, supporting data transmission both via GSM networks and Wi-Fi technology. It was planned to deploy mobile "points" of data transmission along the routes of the balloons. But before the start of the competition, tests were carried out, during which it turned out that for flights at an altitude of up to 500 meters, ordinary FORT navigation terminals transmitting data via GSM networks are quite enough.
