Zhivinka in action

Bazhov P.P.

Phraseologism: Zhivinka in action.

Meaning: Interest in business, creative search, craving for professional self-improvement, etc.

Origin: The name of one of the Ural tales (1943) by the writer Pavel Petrovich Bazhov (1879-1950). The tale "Zhivinka in business" tells how the old master grandfather Nefed taught his student Timokha Maloruchko coal business. Here is how he taught him, for example, to regulate the draft during the furnace: “On these walkers in complete darkness, our paleonushka and jumps, and you guess so that it doesn’t spread like a flame or turn into an empty smoke. And if all the paths are cleverly laid, the coal will come out ringing. Soon Timokha learned the coal business, "caught the live" and he himself began to wonder why he could not do this before - everything seems so simple. “That’s why,” Grandfather Nefed explains to him, “that you looked down, which means what was done, but as you looked up, how best to do it, then the lively thing picked you up. You understand, there is in every business, runs ahead of mastery and pulls a person behind him.

Random phraseology:

Casanova.

Meaning:

A common noun for a seeker of love victories and adventures (jokingly ironic).

Origin:

Giacomo Girolamo Casanova (1725-1798) - a famous adventurer of Venetian origin, famous for his love affairs, which he himself told about in his memoirs. He studied at the University of Padua, at the age of 17 he defended his dissertation in law, was an abbot, a soldier and, being an encyclopedically educated person, changed many occupations - he established himself as a lawyer, poet, playwright, chemist, translator, financier, musician, etc. He was not a nobleman, but, thanks to his talents and subtle knowledge of human psychology, he managed to succeed at the court of many monarchs of Europe. During his lifetime, Casanova did not have a reputation as a legendary lover (his friend Prince de Ligne introduced the elderly Casanova to his friends only as the brother of a famous battle painter): it developed after his death, when his memoirs "The Story of My Life" were published, which he wrote in his later years (1789-1798). And although the “Don Juan list” of the adventurer presented there is relatively small (122 women over 39 years), nevertheless, the author’s name has become a household name thanks to the literary skill with which he talks about his victories, and the peculiar philosophy of the heartthrob set forth in his memoirs.

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 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.

Fire detector in the forest 14.12.2008

The University of Toulouse (France) has developed a sensor that is placed in the forest and measures the moisture content of the leaves.

An infrared beam is passed through the leaf of the selected tree or bush, its intensity, indicating the moisture content in the leaf, is measured by a photodiode. When leaf moisture drops to such an extent that there is a risk of fire, the sensor sends a signal to firefighters through the cellular phone system.

A network of such devices makes it possible to build a constantly updated map of the fire situation in forests.
