To keep in a black body

Proverbs and sayings

Phraseologism: Keep in a black body.

Meaning: Severely, strictly treat someone, forcing them to work hard, oppress someone.

Origin: The expression comes from the Turkic expressions associated with horse breeding, meaning - moderately nourish, undernourish (kara kesek - meat without fat). The literal translation of these phrases is "black meat" (kara - black, kesek - meat). From the literal meaning of the expression came "keep in a black body."

Random phraseology:

Mediocre.

Meaning:

1. Untalented, mediocre. 2. Unfortunate, unfortunate, destitute.

Origin:

Sometimes confusion occurs with this word, and all due to the fact that the noun from which it is formed - "talan" has its "double" in the Russian language. It is the word "talent" - similar in pronunciation, but different in meaning. "Talan", which came to us from the Turkic languages, meant "booty", "success". Therefore, "untalented" is an unfortunate, unhappy person. But this is one of the meanings of the word. The second is connected with "talent": "untalented" - "talentless", "devoid of talent". Be careful with the use of this word. Calling someone "untalented" can be misleading. After all, mediocre people are lucky, and unhappy people are talented. It is better to use the word "untalented" in a context from which it is clear what is at stake.

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 ... >>

A vegan diet can help you stay off your medications 19.11.2021

Vegans reduce drug intake in older adults by 58% compared to meat eaters. This conclusion was made by scientists from the University of Loma Linda.

A new study has shown that older people who follow a vegan diet take 58% less medication than meat eaters. The authors of the study compared the diet and the number of tablets regularly taken by older people. A plant-based diet has also been shown to improve a range of health outcomes, including blood pressure and weight.

The study focused on polypharmacy, which is the name given to taking 5 or more prescribed medications per day. This is a fairly common problem in older people. Many of them have to take daily medicines for high blood pressure, for arrhythmias, for arthritis, for diabetes, for back pain, diuretics, statins and the like. Some older people are forced to take sometimes 7 and 10 tablets daily.

The authors of the study suggested that a plant-based diet and a healthy lifestyle would reduce the incidence of disease and the amount of medication taken. The diets of 328 participants aged 60 years and older were studied, they answered the questions of the questionnaires. The findings consistently associated a vegan diet with reduced pill intake, even after adjusting for other possible factors.
