Man with a gun

Lenin V.I.

Phraseologism: Man with a gun.

Meaning: Armed man, soldier.

Origin: From a speech delivered (November 7, 1921) at a meeting of workers at the Elektrosila Plant No. 3 by V. I. Lenin (1870-1924). In this speech, dedicated to the fourth anniversary of the October Revolution of 1917, he said: "A man with a gun - terrible in the past in the minds of the working masses, is not terrible now, as a representative of the Red Army, and is their own defender." The expression became especially popular after the production of the play "The Man with a Gun" (1937) by the Soviet playwright N. F. Pogodin (1900-1962) and its film adaptation (1938, directed by Ivan Pyryev).

Random phraseology:

Squeeze out a slave drop by drop.

Meaning:

Constantly cultivate self-esteem, getting rid of conformism, etc.

Origin:

From a letter from the writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860-1904) to the publisher and journalist A.F. Suvorin (January 7, 1889). In it, he writes about the need for a person to feel personal freedom: “What noble writers took from nature for free, raznochintsy buy at the cost of youth. Write a story about how a young man, the son of a serf, a former shopkeeper, high school student and student, brought up on veneration of rank, kissing priestly hands, worshiping other people's thoughts ... squeezes a slave out of himself drop by drop, and how he, waking up one fine morning, feels that not slave blood, but real human blood flows in his veins.

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. ... >>

Bicycle stabilization system 27.04.2019

The stabilization system today may be called differently depending on the brand, but in any case, it helps the driver avoid losing control of the car. And why not adapt such a system for two-wheeled vehicles?

Dutch scientists from the Delft University of Technology, together with Gazelle, have designed a prototype electric bicycle equipped with a stabilization system of their own design. Using a set of sensors, it is able to detect that the bike is losing balance, after which it changes the angle of the steering wheel in such a way as to align its position and thereby prevent a fall.

The main component of the electromechanical stabilization system is located in the head tube of the bicycle - because of this, it, however, has grown considerably in diameter. Inside the glass is an electric motor that controls the angle of rotation of the fork with the wheel. In addition, a control unit housing is fixed to the bicycle frame, in which the sensors and all electronics are located. The system operates at speeds of four km/h and monitors the movement parameters of the bike.

In the event that the algorithm determines a critical level of frame inclination, it immediately commands the motor to turn the front wheel in the right direction, taking into account the speed of the bike. The prospects for serial use of the stabilization system have not yet been reported, but this thing would definitely be useful for inexperienced cyclists or older people who find it difficult to control a bike.
