What is anxiety neurosis?

Have you ever known people who were afraid of heights or closed spaces? There are people who are afraid of the crowd or afraid that they will be touched by others. There is a name for such behavior - "the reaction of fear neurosis", and we say that such a person has a fear neurosis, or phobia.

Is there something wrong with these people? They are sick? No, but they're suffering from some kind of nervous breakdown. Something that scared or upset them a lot in the past. Such people seek to deal with this disorder (it can be called "emotional pain") in the same way that we try to get rid of physical pain.

We all react to emotional upsets: crying, blushing, sweating. But some people who feel this emotional stress more strongly and whose strength of resistance is weaker react to these stresses in unusual ways. This reaction is called neurotic. It can develop into a phobia, a fear neurosis, which manifests itself in the fear of certain things: heights or enclosed spaces. Interestingly, a phobia arises over circumstances that are fairly easy to avoid.

Indeed, no one forces people to climb high places or remain alone in enclosed spaces. And the more he avoids them, the better he feels. But why do some people, for example, have a fear of heights? The fact is that such a person is afraid of something else or was scared of something when he was a child. This may be the father whom he loved and feared at the same time, but did not even want to admit the thought that he was afraid of his father. Therefore, there was a fear of heights, which was associated with the image of the father. It all seems very difficult, doesn't it? But a living person and his behavior is a very difficult question!

What is an obelisk?

An obelisk is a spire carved from stone with a pyramidal top. The first most famous of these monuments were made in Egypt. They are considered real because each of them is carved from a single stone. Some famous memorials in the United States, such as Banner Hill and the Washington Monument, are shaped like an obelisk, but they are made of many small stones.

The Egyptians believed that the obelisk was the seat of the spirit of the Sun. Obelisks were usually made in pairs and placed on either side of the gates in temples and tombs. The tops were usually covered with a shiny metal such as gold to reflect the sun's rays. Inscriptions made in hieroglyphs on four sides praised the pharaohs, at whose command these obelisks were erected.

All Egyptian obelisks are made of granite quarried near Aswan. Some of them were 24 meters high. How could the Egyptians move these huge blocks? Nobody knows for sure. It was estimated that more than 20 people would be needed to pull it. The obelisks were dragged from the quarries to the Nile, then loaded onto barges and transported to different cities. Throughout history, Egyptian obelisks have been scattered around the world. The ancient Romans were simply amazed by them. After the Roman conquest of Egypt in 30 B.C. e. they moved about 15 obelisks to Italy.

Nobody knows how they did it. The obelisk that stands in front of St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome was moved to Rome at this time, and 16 centuries later, in 1585, it was installed in the square in front of the cathedral. This took about a year. In the 1836th century, three obelisks were brought from Egypt. The first was erected on the Place de la Concorde in Paris in 1880. The second obelisk was erected on the banks of the River Thames in London in 1881. The third - in the Central Park of New York City in XNUMX. The London and New York obelisks are called Cleopatra's Needle.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

The main reason for being overweight 30.03.2017

American nutritionists from the University of Michigan have refuted the axiom that excess weight appears due to promiscuity in food and regular overeating.

These factors, of course, also affect the presence of extra pounds, but the main reason is the lack of fluid in the body.
The fact is that the fat cell consists, among other things, of water. And if a person drinks little every day, the body has to regulate the fluid balance at the expense of fat cells.

Nutritionists strongly recommend drinking at least two liters of pure non-carbonated water per day and warn that other liquids, such as tea, juices or liquid soups, cannot replace it.

The correct water regime is one of the conditions for successful weight loss. Having acquired the habit of drinking enough water, a person will forget about the problem of excess weight for life.
