HAND FAN

 A fan is an instrument that allows air to move and facilitate cooling in the face of high temperatures. It consists of two parts: the country (made up of cloth, paper or leather) and the deck, a rigid and folding base.

Its operation is manual and consists of shaking the arm that supports it with a certain intensity, to achieve a current of air that reduces the sensation of heat. The origin of the fan is in Japan , although its use spread throughout the world. The fan is widely used in regions like Andalusia , for example.

Although its construction is very simple, the fan is also considered a fashion accessory, so the most important manufacturers take into account different factors associated with the design and quality of the product.

Usually the fan is used by adult women. However, many young women also use it and even lines for men have been developed.

When it comes to cooling, the fan has lost much of its ground after the invention of the fan (an electrical device with blades that rotate at high speed) and the air conditioner (or air conditioner ).

On the other hand, the concept of fan allows to name anything that has a shape similar to that of the traditional fan, such as the peacock's tail, for example.

Abanico is also the series of options or proposals that are presented so that someone can choose between them: "The range is very wide, but I'll take the first project."

The fan as a means of communication

For many of us, a fan represents an old-fashioned accessory that was intended to help withstand heat when electrical cooling was absent. The reality is that it fulfilled an important function for many women, since it offered them a portable means of communication, which was very useful for them to converse silently with each other and with men, in environments where the protocol did not allow them to pronounce certain words or address certain topics.

As will be detailed below, the fan was used to establish silent conversations of medium complexity, with details as specific as letters or numbers:

  • To express a letter of the alphabet, the fan had to be rotated in one direction and then placed in a particular position;
  • Fanning at high speed meant "I love you intensely", while doing it slowly and slowly or opening and closing the fan calmly, "I'm married and I'm not interested in you";
  • A slow close meant "yes";
  • A quick close was the same as saying "no"
  • opening and closing the fan quickly alerted a suitor that the woman was engaged;
  • Moving the hair with the help of the fan expressed "I think of you" or "I don't forget you";
  • Running their fingers over the rods, as if they were counting them, meant that they wanted to talk privately with the person who was looking at them;
  • To reject a man, they only had to cover their faces with their fans, as if they were hiding from the sun;
  • Another way to affirm or deny was to place the fan on one cheek, the right being the positive and the left being the negative;
  • Hitting an object with the fan represented impatience;
  • When a woman held the fan open with both hands, she expressed her.
  • To say "I love you", it was enough to place the fan over the eyes, leaving the face uncovered, since otherwise it could mean "be careful, someone is watching us".
  • Passing the fan over the eyes was the way to apologize.

QUANTITATIVE VARIABLE

The symbol that appears in propositions, algorithms, formulas and functions and that takes different values ​​is called a variable . According to their characteristics, it is possible to distinguish between different classes of variables. The quantitative variables are those that adopt numerical values (ie, numbers). In this way they differ from qualitative variables , which express qualities, attributes, categories or characteristics. It is important at this point that we proceed to know the etymological origin of the two words that give shape to the term that concerns us: -Variable comes from Latin, specifically derived from "variabilis", which can be translated as "that can change its appearance" . It is the result of the sum of two components: the verb "variare", which is synonymous with "change of appearance", and the suffix "-able", which is used to indicate possibility. -Quantitative, for its part, comes from Latin as we...
