You're heavy, Cap of Monomakh!
Pushkin A.S.
Phraseologism: You're heavy, Cap of Monomakh!
Meaning: About any obligations, unpleasant or burdensome (iron.)
Origin: Quote from the tragedy of A.S. Pushkin "Boris Godunov". The Monomakh's cap is a crown with which Moscow tsars were married to the kingdom, a symbol of royal power.
Random phraseology:
No rudder and no sails.
Meaning:
Without a clear goal, thought, plan, clearly formulated intention, "as God puts on the soul" (ironic, disapproved).
Origin:
A quote from M. Yu. Lermontov's poem "The Demon" (1842), part I, stanza 15: "On the ocean of air // Without a rudder and without sails // Quietly float in the fog // Choirs of slender luminaries." "Sail" in translation from the old Russian language "sail". The expression became winged thanks to the opera "Demon" (first production on January 13, 1875, St. Petersburg) by Anton Rubinstein. Subsequently, this song of the Demon became very popular in the performance of F.I. Chaliapin, which also added fame to this expression. |

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 Fertility Coal
04.02.2016
Charcoal supplements help retain moisture and nutrients in poor soils.
The fight against the greenhouse effect involves the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and its disposal. To do this, there are different ways, for example, plants use photosynthesis. However, once a plant dies, it begins to decompose, releasing CO2 into the atmosphere. This process can be significantly slowed down if the stored carbon is converted into a poorly digestible form - for example, to make furniture or building structures from wood, in which the wood remains for tens or even hundreds of years.
Another option is to burn biomass with a lack of oxygen, then it will turn into coal (and not into the same CO2 as in normal combustion). Slightly rotting waste, such as grain husks, nut shells or corn cobs, is suitable for this, because it is better to make fertilizer from well-rotting ones.
It is precisely such waste that researchers from the Ruhr University in Bochum, led by Dr. Volger Haaring, propose to turn into coal. True, they do not care about German farmers, but about their colleagues from West Africa: the soil there is poor, sandy, there is little water, and there is a lot of waste.
Experiments have shown that the addition of coal to the soil not only makes it possible to remove carbon from circulation for a long time. Coal loosens the soil, accumulates water and adsorbs nutrients, ensuring their uniform release. For arid Africa, such a means of regulating soil moisture is a real find. In the experimental plot, lettuce heads grew much larger. Now Dr. Haaring and his colleagues intend to equip the farmers involved in the project with stoves for making coal from rice husks or corn cobs and thus conduct a large-scale experiment to ascertain the effect of coal on fertility.
