Tearing off all and sundry masks
Lenin V.I.
Phraseologism: Breaking all and all masks.
Meaning: Accusatory moods and their corresponding actions.
Origin: From the article "Leo Tolstoy as a Mirror of the Russian Revolution" (1908) by V. I. Lenin (1870-1924). Revealing the "shouting contradictions" in Tolstoy's work, he wrote: "On the one hand, the most sober realism, tearing off all kinds of masks, on the other hand, the preaching of one of the most vile things that exists in the world, namely: religion, the desire to in place of priests in public office, priests by moral conviction, i.e., the cultivation of the most refined and therefore especially disgusting clericalism.
Random phraseology:
You can't cook porridge.
Meaning:
You will not agree, you will not do any business with anyone.
Origin:
The expression is associated with the ancient ritual and ceremonial purpose of porridge and the process of its preparation. The joint preparation of ritual food testified to the desire to participate in the affairs of the entire community, to invest their share in the common "cauldron" (cf. classmate). A person who did not want to participate in the general ritual action was considered a stranger and unreliable. Hence - the condemnation, preserved in the form and content of the phraseological unit. |

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 ... >>
