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.

In order to determine the meaning of the term vainglory, the first thing we are going to do is know its etymological origin. In this sense, we can state that it is a word that derives from Latin. Specifically, it is the result of the sum of two components of that language: -The adjective “vanus”, which can be translated as “empty”. -The noun "glory", which is equivalent to "fame", "honor" or "splendor". Boasting is the petulance or presumption of an individual regarding his actions or self- worth . The verb boast alludes to this act of boasting. For example: "I am fed up with the pride of this artist: he may have a lot of talent, but he lacks humility" , "I don't understand your pride: you have just made a big mistake and yet you are proud of your actions" , " You should not act out of pride, but out of solidarity ” . The term boastful, therefore, is also a conjugation of the verb boast: "The o

ABBOT

Abad is a concept that, according to what is detailed by the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ), comes from abbas , a Latin word. The term refers to the religious who occupies the superior position in a type of monastery known as an abbey . The abbot, therefore, is the spiritual father, leader and person in charge of an abbey . In its origins, the notion was not linked to a hierarchy or a formal position, but was an honorary title . The honor arose in Syrian monasteries and then began to be implemented in Europe. Regarding the way in which the abbots lived before the formal organization, it is known that they were hermits, who, through their acts and customs, pursued a state in which their spirit was liberated from the material world. It was precisely thanks to this discipline that they could achieve a degree of knowledge and harmony that attracted other religious to congregate around them. Far from being a selfish attitude or a symbol of lack of concern for the rest o

VARIABLE

Derived from the Latin term variabilis , variable is a word that represents that which varies or is subject to some type of change. It is something that is characterized by being unstable , fickle and changeable . In other words, a variable is a symbol that identifies an unspecified element within a certain group. This set is usually defined as the universal set of the variable ( universe of the variable , on other occasions), and each piece included in it constitutes a value of the variable. For example: x is a variable in the universe { 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 }. Therefore, x can be equal to any of the values ​​just mentioned, with which it is possible to replace x with any odd number that is less than 8 . As you can see, variables are elements present in formulas, propositions and algorithms, which can be substituted or can acquire, without ceasing to belong to the same universe, different values. It is worth mentioning that the values ​​of a variable can be framed wit
