When did you start wearing wedding rings?

Wearing wedding rings is one of the oldest and perhaps the most common custom found among people. And this tradition is so old that now no one can say where it came from.

The ring meant a circle - a symbol of completeness, completeness, and the connection with marriage, obviously, consisted in the cyclical nature of human life. We often see how a man without a wife or a woman without a husband are considered in society by people "incomplete". Only when they get married do they become one. Perhaps the round wedding ring symbolizes this as well.

Some believe that the beginning of the wedding ring was laid by the bracelet that the primitive woman had, who was stolen by the groom. Or maybe a bracelet on a woman’s arm or leg meant that she was the property of a man in the tribe. Gradually, the bracelet was replaced by a ring on the finger. We know that ancient man believed in magic. He took a twisted cord and tied it around the waist of the woman he chose as his bride. He believed that at the same time her soul enters his body and she will forever belong to him. Maybe the wedding ring appeared on the basis of this custom.

The Egyptians were one of the first peoples to use wedding rings in marriage. In Egyptian picture hieroglyphs, a circle means eternity, and wedding rings meant a life together that was supposed to last even after death. Christians began to use the ring at weddings around 900. Why was the ring worn on the ring finger of the left hand?

The ancient Greeks believed that the blood vessel on this finger supplies blood directly to the heart. But, probably, the main reason that we wear the ring on the ring finger is convenience.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Why can cleaning your ears with cotton swabs be harmful?

Earwax is needed to lubricate and clean the ear canals, and it also performs an antimicrobial function. Excess sulfur should be removed only in the outer part of the ear, but it is not necessary to stick cotton swabs inside the canal to clean it, because they cause skin irritation, which can lead to sulfur hypersecretion. Another harmful effect of cotton buds is that they tamp sulfur, and this, along with its increased release, increases the risk of sulfur plugs, which will need to be removed by a doctor.

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 ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Apex Storage X21 AIC Adapter 20.03.2023

Apex Storage has introduced a product called the X21 AIC, which allows you to use only one PCIe 4.0 slot to install up to 21 M.2 SSDs.

This allows you to turn the X21 AIC into a conditional single SSD up to 168 TV. Of course, it is not at all necessary to use all the slots and an 8 TB SSD, but the possibilities are amazing. To make it all work, the board has support for 100 PCIe lanes.

Such a number of slots managed to be placed in an unusual way: the device consists of two separate boards, united by a special interface. This approach is reminiscent of the GeForce 7900 GX2 video card.

For power, there are two six-pin connectors, that is, up to 225 watts of power can be supplied to the adapter. The read and write speed can reach 31 GB/s, and the performance is more than 10 million IOPS.
