What has grown, it has grown

Imre Kalman

Phraseologism: What has grown, has grown.

Meaning: It is used as a playful response to all kinds of pedagogical complaints and reproaches.

Origin: From the operetta "Princess of the Circus" (1926) by composer Imre Kalman (1882-1953), based on a libretto by Julius Brammer and Arnold Grunwald. Pelican's words from his dialogue with his wife, the innkeeper. Pelican recalls what his wife was like in her youth: plump, pink - "like a little pig." And he continues, not without sadness: this little piglet grew, grew, and grew out of it ... "What, what has grown ?! - the hostess of the hotel asks menacingly. He, avoiding the answer, sighs:" What has grown, has grown ... "The expression became popular after this operetta was filmed (1958) by director Jozef Khmelnitsky (1904-1997) - (film" Mister X ").

Random phraseology:

The joy of Russia is to drink.

Meaning:

As a "historical" self-justification of all those who like to "drink and eat" (jokingly ironically).

Origin:

From the chronicle "The Tale of Bygone Years" by the ancient Russian chronicler Nestor (second half of the 1015th - early XNUMXth centuries), which tells how the Kyiv prince Vladimir Svyatoslavovich, or St. Vladimir (d. XNUMX) chose the faith for Russia. From the adoption of Islam, which forbade the use of wine, he refused: Russia is the joy of drinking, we cannot be without it. And therefore, Prince Vladimir preferred Orthodoxy, since the Orthodox Church does not prohibit the use of wine and even uses the latter in the rite of communion.

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 ... >>

Synchronization of the on-board computer of the car with the iPhone and Apple Watch 22.06.2015

Honda Motor Company announced the introduction of a new intelligent service Road Hints, which will link the car's navigation system with the owner's mobile devices.

Through a special application, iPhone owners will be able to receive information about "points of interest" (restaurants, hotels, etc.) in accordance with the current location of the vehicle and (or) a given route. In this case, the data search radius will be 5 kilometers.

In addition, an application for smart watches Apple Watch will be released. With its help, users will be able to remotely check the fuel level in the tank and its average consumption, the distance that the car can travel without refueling, and other parameters of on-board systems.

In parallel with support for the latest Apple mobile devices, Honda is introducing intelligent adaptive cruise control. The i-ACC (Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control) complex works on the basis of a standard adaptive cruise control: a camera and radar installed in the front of the car constantly monitor the situation on the road, transmitting data to the on-board computer.

Special software analyzes the information received and predicts the possible behavior of nearby vehicles. If the system decides that a vehicle in an adjacent lane is ready to change lanes, the brakes will be applied in advance.
