A friend flies to a distant land

Dolmatovsky E.A.

Phraseologism: A friend flies to a distant land.

Meaning: Regarding the departure of a close, familiar person.

Origin: From the song "Beloved City" written by the composer Nikita Bogoslovsky (b. 1913) to the verses of the poet Yevgeny Aronovich Dolmatovsky (1915-1994) for the film "Fighters" (1939, directed by Eduard Penzlin), where it was performed by the popular actor Mark Bernes (1911- 1969), who played the role of pilot Sergei Kozhukharov: "A comrade flies to a distant land, // Native winds fly after him. // The beloved city is melting in a blue haze. // A familiar house, a green garden and a gentle look ..."

Random phraseology:

And just what was left in the newspapers: he left for Rostov.

Meaning:

Died, died.

Origin:

From the poem "Epitaph" (1803) by Ivan Ivanovich Dmitriev (1760-1837): "Here lies the brigadier, who died in his later years. // What is our fate! // Live, live, die - and just in the newspapers // Remaining : left for Rostov. In Russia XVIII-XIX centuries. it was customary to report in local newspapers about people who came to a given city and left it, indicating where they came from and where they were going. As for the expression "left for Rostov" (in the sense of died, died), then, as the Russian writer Count Evgeny Andreevich Salias writes in his story "The Brigadier's Granddaughter" (in full: Count Salias de Tournemire, 1840-1908), it arose in colloquial speeches of Muscovites during the plague of 1771 "All measures ... against the spread of pestilence (the then name of the plague) did not lead to anything ... the plague dead was buried secretly, in the garden or in the basement, and in case of publicity they swore and swore, that they had never had a dead person in their house and that the disappeared person had left Moscow. At the same time, they mostly referred to one of the outposts, where a pass from the capital was free, on the road to the city of Rostov. that he left for Rostov, the authorities knew that this man died and was secretly buried somewhere. And the expression: "left for Rostov" remained forever in the language, retaining its special implied meaning "(Salias E. A. Sobr. Op. T XIII. M.. 1895).

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. ... >>

Origin of emeralds 01.08.2000

The main deposits of emeralds are located in Colombia (the highest quality stones are mined there), in Egypt, in the Urals, in India, Pakistan and in two or three other regions of our planet.

Until now, one could only guess where certain emeralds mined in ancient times come from. Swiss mineralogist Dietmar Schwartz found a way to determine the birthplace of these gems by the isotopic composition of oxygen in them.

Emerald is a beryllium aluminum silicate and contains oxygen. Schwartz sends a stream of cesium ions accelerated to high speed onto the stone, which evaporates several molecules of the crystal lattice, leaving a completely microscopic dent in the emerald with a diameter of 20 micrometers and a depth of fractions of a micrometer. The mass spectrometer immediately determines the composition of the evaporated atoms. The set of oxygen isotopes in each deposit is unique.

Using this method, it was possible to determine that emeralds from Pakistan, from the Swat River, were inserted into earrings made in Ancient Rome. Until now, it was not known that the trade relations of Roman jewelers extended so far. And the large emerald in the crown of the French kings, made in the 500th century, comes from a deposit in the Salzburg Alps (Austria), which became known only in the XNUMXth century, more than XNUMX years later. Who developed it in antiquity is unknown.

It is assumed that the new method will also be able to determine the origin of rubies and sapphires.
