tags: historical
examples: Instead, the Zaporozhians tended to concentrate on their own affairs, that is, those of a relatively small (they rarely numbered more than 10,000), isolated Cossack fraternity based in the vast, empty steppes between the Hetmanate in the north and the Crimean Khanate in the south.
As the Zaporozhians began to clash with the newcomers a number of Serb settlements were wiped out and the colonization came to a halt.
The Zaporozhians detained the captains sent by Mazepa, placed them in custody ("as bandits"), and did not allow them to set fire to dry grasses in the "Wild Fields" (as had been planned in preparation for the campaign).
gloss: Of or relating to the Zaporozhians or their culture, etc.
pos: adj
examples: Then, too, towards the middle of the eighteenth century both the Russian government and the Zaporozhian nobility began to use all means to attract settlers to the Southern Ukraine.
[…]city-type centres and settlements in the Zaporozhian territory the Sich's role as the regional centre grew especially important and that fact unexpectedly gave to a free steppe region a highly centralized form of government.
The attitude of the Zaporozhian envoys in Moscow shows that for the Zaporozhian Cossacks, who played an extraordinarily important role in the opening stage of the uprising, Kyiv was a distant if not an alien center, clearly outside the scope of Zaporozhian influence.

Because going from, in GP-land, having 15 minute blocks and a room full of patients... I didn't realise how much over the last years I'd learnt all these techniques to block everyone... to find what they needed and get them out in 15 minutes.
And also I think that, you know, if GPs can't get hold of you or they feel like you leave at midday, which 4.30pm in GP-land is midday, they're not going to call again because you're not helpful.

Generally, it is either ignored altogether, or is considered to be something in the nature of “Hegelian weakness” on Engels’ part. As a matter of fact, however, these words briefly express the experience of one of the greatest proletarian revolutions, the Paris Commune of 1871, of which we shall speak in greater detail in its proper place. As a matter of fact, Engels speaks here of the proletariat revolution “abolishing” the bourgeois state, while the words about the state withering away refer to the remnants of the proletarian state after the socialist revolution. According to Engels, the bourgeois state does not “wither away”, but is “abolished” by the proletariat in the course of the revolution. What withers away after this revolution is the proletarian state or semi-state.

The superbly crafted suspense thriller that director Jonathan Demme has made from Thomas Harris's taut best-selling novel The Silence of the Lambs slams you like a sudden blast of bone-chilling, pulse-pounding terror.
Suddenly a great, dark shadow passed between the pulse-pounding blasts and my miry form. I saw in astonishment that Nekbael flew along the dim hallway on monstrous bat wings. The demon vampire ripped the pulse-pounding beamer from the hands of the evil pimp.
Kevin Williamson’s script justly deserves praise for its cleverness and tactic of treating the audience like it was in on the joke, but ultimately, it was [Wes] Craven’s ability to still deliver a pulse-pounding horror flick and ideal date movie that drove the film so far into the black.
