When did you start getting tattoos?

Sailors who roll up their sleeves and display tattooed arms with images of anchors, hearts and mottos are, in essence, carriers of one type of body decoration. Such decorations were used by most primitive people.

The tattoo originates in very ancient times. Egyptians, southern Chinese, western Indians, and many others were tattooed. In those days, tattooing was an important ritual, as it was accompanied by elaborate ceremonies. The Majori people of New Zealand used very elaborate tattoo designs to cover their faces, sometimes they continue to do so today.

In Japan, tattoos of chrysanthemums, dragon faces and vegetation have been around for centuries. Some Japanese used tattoo designs as garments.

The American Indians used the tattoo as a tribal identification mark. In many parts of the world, tattooing has had great religious and social significance. Among some peoples, it is believed that young girls are not ready for marriage until they are decorated with a fancy tattoo. In some tribes, tattoos are used as mourning for the dead. The fighters covered themselves with tattoos in order to show their militancy to the enemies.

Today, tattooing is usually done by tattooing or incising the skin in the form of dots or lines with sharp instruments, such as a needle, a sharp edge of a shell, or a bone. Then a dye is applied over the pinned pattern. The least commonly used method is "sewing" a pattern, which consists in piercing the skin with a needle and pulling a thread dipped in a dye through it.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Where is more caffeine - in a cup of tea or in a cup of coffee?

In a cup of coffee.

The dry tea leaf contains a higher percentage of caffeine by weight than the coffee bean. However, the average cup of coffee contains three times more caffeine than the same amount of tea, because more beans are used to make coffee.

The amount of caffeine in tea and coffee depends on a number of factors. The higher the water temperature, the more caffeine is drawn from the leaves and beans. Espresso, for example, is made with high-pressure steam, and a drop of this divine drink contains more caffeine than a drop of brewed coffee. The caffeine content is also affected by the time during which water is in contact with tea leaves or coffee beans. The longer the contact, the higher the percentage of caffeine.

In addition, the variety of coffee and tea, the area where they were grown, how long the coffee beans were roasted and how the tea leaf is cut play an important role.

The darker the coffee roast, the less caffeine it contains. In the case of tea, the concentration of caffeine in the bud and upper leaf of the bush is higher than in the large lower leaf.

Paradoxically, an average 30 ml shot of espresso contains about the same amount of caffeine as a 150 ml cup of Brooke Bond tea. So from a portion of cappuccino or latte "caffeine hit" will be no stronger than from a mug of tea. On the other hand, a cup of instant coffee contains only half the amount of caffeine found in the same amount of Americano.

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. ... >>

Renoir 7nm Desktop APUs - Ryzen 4000G, PRO 4000G and Athlon PRO 3000G 22.07.2020

AMD has unveiled the Ryzen 4000G APUs for the AM4 desktop platform, sister to the well-established 7nm Ryzen 4000-series mobile chips. They are intended for the OEM segment and will not be available in retail stores, but in the future AMD promises to release some models of new APUs for the DIY market (with boards based on AMD 400 and 500 series chipsets).

The Renoir desktop APUs use the same 7nm die as their mobile cousins, with eight Zen 2 physical cores, 8MB of L3 cache, and eight Compute Units (CU) graphics on the improved Vega architecture. But if mobile Renoirs run into a 35-watt TDP, then desktop counterparts raise the bar to 65 watts, operate at higher frequencies and, therefore, their performance level is higher.

Renoir desktop APUs officially support DDR4-3200 RAM (while AMD used faster DDR4-3600 memory in performance tests), the x86-core frequency reaches 4,4 GHz in the case of the flagship Ryzen 7 4700G model, and the integrated GPU runs at 1700- 2100 MHz depending on the model.

Also introduced are the Ryzen Pro 4000 and Athlon Pro 3000 APUs for business-class ready-made computers. They are related to consumer models (the characteristics are completely identical), but at the same time they have advanced support and security technologies (full encryption of RAM and AMD Pro feature set).
