To give the case a legal look and sense

Krylov I.A.

Phraseologism: To give the case a legitimate look and sense.

Meaning: About an attempt to give the crime the appearance of a legal action.

Origin: From the fable "Wolves the Lamb" (1808) by I. A. Krylov (1769-1844): "He sees the lamb, strives for prey, // But, at least give the case a legitimate look and sense, // Shouts: "How dare you, insolent, with an unclean snout // Here my pure drink is muddy // With sand and silt ?."

Random phraseology:

There are also judges in Berlin.

Meaning:

It is used ironically, with the appropriate replacement of the word Berlin for the characteristics of judicial arbitrariness.

Origin:

In the panegyric biographies of the Prussian king Frederick II, the story is told that he once wished to demolish the mill in his residence of Sanssouci. The miller, to whom it belonged, went to court. The case was decided in his favor, and the king obeyed the court order and did not touch the mill. This anecdote served as the subject for the French story "The Miller from Sanssouci" (1797), which was included in all anthologies of French literature. Its author, Francois Andrier (1759-1833), who was at one time a judge, put into the mouth of the miller who won the trial, the exclamation: "Don't be judges in Berlin ..." This phrase received circulation in the form: "There are still judges in Berlin ", often quoted in French: "II y a des juges a Berlin!"

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 ... >>
