Where and when did men attach the pubic hair of their lovers to their hats?

The Victorian era in Great Britain is known for its extremely puritanical views on family life and the manifestation of people's sexuality. Nevertheless, members of high society often demonstrated it, and in forms unusual for us.

So, lovers could exchange decorative boxes where they put their pubic hair. And men sometimes attached strands of such hair of their beloved to a hat in the manner of a cockade.

What is tapioca?

Do you like tapioca pudding? Looking at it, you will not believe what it is made of and what was done with it before it became a pudding on your table!

Tapioca is obtained from the roots of a large shrub common in warm countries. The shrub is called "cassava" or "cassava" in English, as well as "yucca" or "mandioca".

Cassava roots contain approximately 33% starch and 67% water, and take a long time to cook food from the roots. First they are washed and cleaned, then for three or four days they are lowered into a boiler or simply into a river. They can also be ground on a grater without pre-soaking, getting a pasty mass. The pasta is either fried and eaten or dried and made into flour.

To prepare tapioca, the pounded mass is thoroughly mixed with very clean water and removed. Pure grains of starch gradually settle to the bottom, and all the dirt merges.

The starch is then extracted and re-mixed with water, a process that can be repeated four to five times. When the starch becomes pure enough, it is sprinkled on a metal dish, which is placed on a slow fire. During cooking, the starch is constantly stirred. Over time, starch forms small lumps.

Once cooked, the pure starch is called "tapioca". Now you know that the roots of the bush go through a long processing before becoming your food. Americans get most of their tapioca from Brazil, Madagascar and Java.

The pure cassava starch, not fired, is known in the US as "tapioca flour". It is used in the processing of cotton products, in the production of glue, for example for postage stamps, and for other purposes.

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. ... >>

The world may be left without chocolate 19.11.2016

An international group of scientists has come to the conclusion that soon there may be practically no chocolate left in the world. The reason for this will be a serious infection that affects cocoa trees in Latin America.

Experts noted that Latin America is the main producer and supplier of cocoa beans from which chocolate is made. To date, the problem has not yet had time to cause a serious loss to the "sweet industry". But in a few years, this industry may face serious material losses and a shortage of material.

Africa, a region that is also engaged in large supplies of cocoa beans, can slightly resolve the situation. However, in recent years there has been a drought, which greatly hinders the growth of trees. According to experts, even now the demand for chocolate is starting to grow slowly. This provokes an increase in prices and tougher competition between producers.
