Ministerial leapfrog

Purishkevich V.M.

Phraseologism: Ministerial mess.

Meaning: About the frequent and unjustified change of ministers in the government, their constant "shuffling", etc.

Origin: The authorship of this expression belongs to the deputy of the 4th State Duma, the famous Black Hundredist Vladimir Mitrofanovich Purishkevich (1870-1920): on February 12, 1916, at a meeting of the Duma, he called "ministerial leapfrog" the frequent change of ministers in the government and their constant movement from one department to another . Original: Is it normal [...] our fast-paced ministerial non-hard work that we are witnessing? This, according to the deputy, is a clear sign of the abnormal state of affairs in the country (State Duma, Verbatim Records, Session Four, Pg. 1916).

Random phraseology:

Wrap yourself up.

Meaning:

Remember, take note, bearing in mind that it may be needed later, come in handy (joking).

Origin:

The turnover is associated, on the one hand, with the symbolism of the mustache as an attribute of male maturity and experience, on the other hand, with the ancient system of memorization - tying knots on a thread or string "for memory". The longer the mustache, the more life experience can be "wound" on it - such is the playful logic of the expression. Such a motivation for turnover is not excluded: from a nervous habit of twisting a mustache while thinking.

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 ... >>
