Time works for us

William Gladstone

Phraseologism: Time works for us.

Meaning: On the improvement and strengthening of the situation day by day.

Origin: In 1866 in England, in the House of Commons, influenced by the growth of the labor movement, the liberal cabinet of Lord Russell put forward a bill for the reform of the suffrage. During the debate, W. Gladstone (1809-1898), the future prime minister, defending the political rights of the workers, exclaimed to the conservatives: "You cannot fight against the future. Time works for us." The last phrase, which has become winged in Russian speech, is not a completely accurate translation. Gladstone's original words: "Time is on our side", i.e. "Time is on our side."

Random phraseology:

Fragment of an empire.

Meaning:

About a man of the old time, about someone who was formed and took place under a different social system, in a different society (jokingly ironic).

Origin:

The title of a film (1929) directed by Friedrich Ermler (1898-1967) from a screenplay co-written with Katerina Winogradskaya (1905-1973). Probably, this expression goes back to the poem "The Fifth of May" (1821) by the French poet Pierre Jean Beranger (translated by I. and A. Tkhorzhevsky): "The empire is a fragment, I am in sorrow // There, far away, I fled to India ..."

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 ... >>
