I don't expect anything from life

Lermontov M.Yu.

Phraseologism: I don't expect anything from life.

Meaning: About depression, the decline of moral strength.

Origin: From the poem “I go out alone on the road” (1841) by M. Yu. Lermontov (1814-1841): “I don’t expect anything from life, // And I don’t feel sorry for the past at all, // I’m looking for freedom and peace! / / I'd like to forget myself and fall asleep!"

Random phraseology:

Between (between) two fires.

Meaning:

In a situation where danger threatens from two sides.

Origin:

There are several versions of the origin of the turnover: 1) the turnover dates back to the times of the Tatar-Mongol yoke. Those who arrived in the Horde with taxes or petitions from the Russian princes were escorted on their way to the khan's headquarters between two lit bonfires. It was believed that fire could take away the power of poisonous drugs and prevent evil intentions, 2) perhaps a tracing paper from the German "zwischen zwei Feuer kommen" - "get into the crossfire from two sides." The expression was also understood as "getting into a dangerous position when trying to reconcile the warring parties."

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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean.

The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

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. ... >>

Ionistors increased the autonomous mileage of an electric motorcycle 25.12.2019

Nawa has unveiled an electric motorcycle with a hubless rear wheel that significantly outperforms most similar vehicles on a single charge.

The prototype called Racer owes this feature to the use of Nawa's main product - ionistors. The battery with a capacity of 9 kWh is supplemented with ionistors with a capacity of 0,1 kWh. Their addition made it possible to recover 80-90% of the braking energy - much more than can be obtained in the case of lithium-ion batteries. The following data allow us to evaluate the gain: the same motorcycle with ionistors can travel 300 km without recharging from the network, and 180 km with the same battery, but without ionistors.

In the silver block, which is visible in the photo, the upper part is reserved for the ionistors, and the lower part is for the batteries. Since supercapacitors are made of carbon, they are relatively inexpensive and weigh only 10 kg, but adding them is equivalent to increasing battery capacity by 65%. To get the same increase in the usual way, the battery would have to be made much larger and heavier.

For obvious reasons, the technology is most effective in urban environments where acceleration and deceleration are constantly alternating. As for acceleration, the Nawa Racer accelerates to 100 km/h in less than 3 seconds.

The prototype will be shown at CES 2020. It itself is not intended for commercialization, but the technology used in it is. Serial production of Nawa ionistors is planned to begin in 2020.
