Go to the spark

Proverbs and sayings

Phraseologism: Go to the fire.

Meaning: It's easy to visit friends and acquaintances without warning.

Origin: There are two versions of the origin of this turnover: 1) the expression is associated with the former custom of putting a lit candle on the window as a sign that the owners are at home and you can go to them, 2) for a light means "for a moment", i.e. for a very short time enough to get, start a fire, or just keep warm.

Random phraseology:

Great helmsman.

Meaning:

Head, leader.

Origin:

At first, Soviet official propaganda called the leader of the USSR I. V. Stalin so (one of the earliest references was the Pravda newspaper of September 24, 1934), then this epithet began to be applied to the leader of China and his Communist Party, Mao Zedong. The primary source is Christian literature: John Chrysostom (the turn of the XNUMXth-XNUMXth centuries) in his essay "Conversations on the Book of Genesis" calls God "the great Pilot". "Kormchiy" in translation from the archaic Russian language is a person sitting at the stern of a ship and controlling it with the help of a helm - a rudder. Hence the stable metaphor - "the helm of power." Accordingly, "to stand at the helm of power" - to be at the head of the administration of the country, to govern it alone. In post-Soviet Russia, the phrase "helm of power" is used only ironically - due to the consonance of the words "helm" and "feeding trough".

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 ... >>

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.
