Wherever you work, just don't work

"Spring"

Phraseologism: Wherever you work, just don't work.

Meaning: About the behavior of a lazy person and a parasite.

Origin: From the film "Spring" (1947), filmed by Grigory Vasilievich Alexandrov (pseudonym G. V. Mormonenko, 1903-1983) according to his own script (with the participation of A. Raskin and M. Slobodsky). The words of the supply manager of the Sun Institute Bubentsov (actor Rostislav Plyatt) in his dialogue with Mukhin, an assistant film director, who suggested that the supply manager take part in the filming of the film as a consultant: "Bubentsov. A lot of work? Mukhin. No ... Bubentsov. I'll tell you so : in my opinion, wherever you work, just don't work. On this issue, that's it. Let's go!"

Random phraseology:

Horses are not changed at the crossing.

Meaning:

On the inappropriateness of replacing the executor, leader.

Origin:

From English: Never swap horses crossing a stream. Anglo-American proverb. It entered the socio-political vocabulary of the United States and other countries after it was heard in a speech delivered in 1864 by the 16th President of the United States (1861-1865) Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) on the occasion of his candidacy for a second presidential term . In a slightly different formulation, this idea was repeated in 1916 by one of the Kadet leaders in the State Duma, Vasily Maklakov (1870-1957). Then, under the influence of defeats at the front, in many factions of the State Duma, the question of the removal of Tsar Nicholas II, the Supreme Commander of the Russian army, was debated. On this occasion, V. A. Maklakov said that although the steering wheel of the Russian state "car" is in the hands of a madman, this driver should not be changed at full speed.

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. ... >>

braking heat 21.02.2012

In the mid-1990s, an anomaly was noticed in the movement of two American spacecraft - Pioneer-10 and Pioneer-11: it turned out that they were flying a little slower than expected by all theories of celestial mechanics. In each subsequent second, the speed decreases by 0,00000009 centimeters per second compared to the previous period of time. It seems very little, but over 30 years of flight, the deviation from the calculated trajectories amounted to 400 thousand kilometers.

The NASA space agency hid this information for a long time, as it defied explanation and thus seemed to compromise the professionalism of its employees. When the data nevertheless had to be published, physicists rushed to offer various hypotheses to explain the strange behavior of space probes. They talked about mysterious dark matter, even more mysterious dark energy, about the error in Newton's law of gravity, about the fallacy of the general theory of relativity ...

German physicist Klaus Lemmerzahl of the University of Bremen and his graduate student Benny Rivers offer a simple explanation for the puzzle: The Pioneers are slowed down by the heat they radiate in the direction of their flight. Having built a model of a spacecraft on a computer from 50 parts and having studied the heat balance and heat flows in the model, physicists came to the conclusion that heat from two isotope batteries on plutonium-238, which supply energy to the entire apparatus, is radiated outward unevenly.

Mostly, although with a slight margin, it comes out of the side of the Pioneer that faces forward. The advantage is small, and the energy of photons in the infrared part of the spectrum is small, but a slight deceleration has accumulated over decades of flight. By the way, over time, it still decreases - exactly at the pace at which plutonium decays and heat release weakens.
