Vabzdžiai ir jų keliami pavojai Kraujasiurbiai vabzdžiai paplitę visame pasaulyje. Žmogus jų ne tik nemėgsta – o kam gi bus malonus zyziantis, kartais nemaloniai ir skaudžiai geliantis bei sukeliantis nemalonių pojūčių, erzinantis padaras? Jie ir pavojingi.

The terms “flower water” and “floral water” are quite descriptive, but now seriously outdated and misleading. They are used to describe the condensate water that remains after the …read full article

Evolution of Senses The ability to smell is one of the first senses human beings develop. All components required for a functioning of the sense of smell are operational as early as 26 weeks after fertilisation. Studies of premature babies reveal the ability to detect odours to babies of this age. A newborn’s eyesight is quite vague, so they lead their way to their mother’s breast by their ability of smell. Because the brain links smell with memory, babies remember the journey and repeat it whenever they want food and comfort. And as they grow into adults, their sense of smell has …read full article

Nowadays the latter one is becoming increasingly popular among kids of almost all ages. It concerns not only costume make-up sets, or teen girls who tentatively begin wearing make-up by brightening their eyes and lips, it also involves little girls who use special make-up sets for their games – indeed, the supply in the market is so wide it is difficult to refrain for both kids and adults who purchase those gifts for the children. Unfortunately, the quality is frequently questionable. For many years, various studies and laboratory tests have revealed that adolescent …read full article
