Tying laces is an everyday action to adjust shoes to the foot.
The term atar comes from the Latin word aptāre , which can be translated as “to adjust.” The action of tying consists of immobilizing, stopping or coupling using knots .
Hold or put things together
When you tie something, you hold it. Take the case of a balloon : to prevent it from flying away, it is possible to tie it to a pole, a chair or any other object. For this, a knot is made with its thread, making the balloon attached to the element in question.
Atar can also refer to bring together . Sneakers, for example, have laces or laces that serve to tighten them to the foot. Tying the laces, in this framework, consists of tying the two ends.
There are other similar terms, such as tie, cling or knot , which can act as synonyms in certain cases. Verbs like adhere, solder or glue , on the other hand, speak of a type of union that is much more difficult to dissolve.
symbolic uses
There are other uses of tying that are more symbolic since they do not imply a physical or concrete ligation. The notion of binding can refer to retaining or eliminating freedom or ability to move .
Suppose that a football club wants to prevent another institution from hiring one of its figures. With that objective, he offers the footballer a very high contract with a termination clause that is virtually impossible to pay. This contract, in short, allows the club to tie up the star , ensuring his permanence in the team during the agreed period.
At the level of interpersonal relationships, "binding someone" can mean preventing them from enjoying other friendships or going out with those they really love, beyond their partner, their parents or whoever acts possessively. This attitude is very common in extremely jealous people, and can have consequences of varying severity .
It is also possible to "feel tied", beyond the actions or attitudes of a third party. This can happen after having done or promised something, among other possibilities, that forces us to remain linked to a certain situation until it is resolved. Here the levels of importance are also varied: after having promised to attend a party one can feel tied to said obligation , just as after having participated in a murder one can remain tied to accomplices for fear of being betrayed.
a city
Atar , on the other hand, is the name of a city in Mauritania , located in the northeastern part of the country. This town of more than 25,000 inhabitants is the capital of the department of the same name and of Adrar , a region of the African nation.
It should be noted that there is an international airport in Atar , as well as a museum and a mosque of historical importance that was built in 1674. The International Air Transport Association ( IATA ) code for this terminal is ATR .
The concept of "knot" is inevitably linked to the verb "tie"
We are talking about a city that, until the arrival of independence, enjoyed great importance for the French colonies in terms of garrisoning their troops. When this garrison suffered an attack in 1956, the Moroccan Liberation Army did everything possible to grant him freedom.
Although Atar is located in the arid part of the Sahara Desert, a large amount of water was discovered in its vicinity, as part of its underground rivers. This took place in 2002 as part of a scientific expedition led by Vitaly Gokh , a Russian researcher, using satellites that allowed the earth to be studied through magnetic resonance. It is believed that the amount of water found could be enough to supply fifty thousand people.
