Since when did you start piercing your ears?

The tradition of piercing ears to wear earrings dates back to prehistoric times. Ancient East Indians, Medeans, Egyptians, Arabs and Jews wore earrings. Earrings have long been highly valued and carefully designed. The Etruscans, for example, made gold earrings that were shaped like flowers, fruits, vases, shields, crescents, peacocks, swans, and so on. The Greeks made beautiful golden earrings meant for goddesses. In those days, Greek youths wore earrings until they reached adulthood.

The ancient Romans copied the Greeks in wearing earrings, and some Roman women had very expensive earrings trimmed with pearls and diamonds. Roman men began to pierce their ears to wear earrings, and it became so popular that the Roman emperor issued an edict forbidding men to do so. When the Middle Ages ended, men began to wear earrings again, but only in the left ear. Then the hairstyles for men and women began to differ greatly, and when hair was worn long, covering the ears, earrings fell out of fashion. But they became popular again in the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries. Since then, earrings for women have always remained popular.

For men, they are now out of fashion, but there are still some groups of people who continue to wear them. These include gypsies, sailors, and individual originals in Italy and Spain. There was a time when doctors said it was good to pierce your ears. But now they no longer believe in it.

After card verification, the system will turn on the green signal for a longer than usual time - depending on the length of the transition, from 3 to 13 seconds will be added.

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 ... >>
