When did women start curling their hair?

Men and women have styled and adorned their hair since the beginning of mankind. Interestingly, hair styling is not evidence of civilization. Primitive people and wild tribes all over the world have always paid great attention to their hair.

It seems that in ancient times, curly hair was considered more attractive than straight hair. Artificial hair curlers were used. This was done by both men and women. The men also curled their beards. With the development of civilization, hair styling methods become very diverse.

The Renaissance saw the introduction of iron curling irons, hair dryers, and silk curlers, which became very popular throughout Europe. People liked to wear long hair, and hairstyles were very diverse. However, King Henry VIII of England issued a decree that men wear only short hair. But he allowed to grow beautiful beards and curl mustaches. When King James I of England came to the throne (1603), men again began to wear long hair and curl it.

The custom of wearing short hair was finally established among men in the XNUMXth century. Women have worn long hair for centuries because they were told that this was their special charm. It is interesting to note that despite this, the short haircut was a fad at the court of King Louis XIV, and became popular again at the court of King James I of England.

Where did the word hard labor come from?

Penal servitude was originally called a vessel with a triple row of oars, which appeared in the 7th century in Venice. From there it came to other countries of the Mediterranean and Europe, and in Russia it ended up under Peter I and was also called a galley. The rowers in hard labor were slaves or criminals, so the word spread to all types of punishments associated with hard work in exile.

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 ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

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. ... >>

Fullerene will not conduct current 25.12.2009

The electric current between two fullerenes in contact goes badly, German physicists have established.

In the future, microcircuits are going to be made from individual molecules, most likely from carbon nanotubes. And they will be placed very tightly on the substrate, because the task is to create subminiature devices.

How tightly can you pack them without fear of electric current flowing in the wrong directions? The answer to this question was found by physicists from the University of Kiel, headed by Professor Richard Berndt.

They carried out the following subtle experiment. Using the probe of a tunneling microscope, they picked up one fullerene ball and delivered it to a predetermined place. Then they picked up the second same molecule and moved it close to the first one. The accuracy of movement in this case amounted to several trillionths of a meter.

By passing an electric current through the resulting pair, the researchers found that the conductivity is low: a hundred times less than that of the fullerene molecule itself. This means that when creating nanocircuits, special insulation of nanotube wires is not required.
