Do you know what makes Bir Tawil unique?
Bir Tawil is unique in that it is one of the few places in the world that does not belong to any country. An area of about 2,000 km2 is located between Egypt and Sudan, and neither of the two countries claims the right to this territory. Due to inaccessible natural conditions, no inhabitants live in that area.
Under the 1899 treaty, Bir Tawil belonged to Sudan, and in return Egypt was given a piece of land known as Hala'ib, which is much larger and has many more resources than Bir Tawil.
However, the 1902 treaty gives Halai'b to Sudan, and Bir Tawil to Egypt. Since both states want Halai'b, each recognizes only the treaty under which Halai'b is owned by them.
To date, none has recognized Bir Tawil as its territory, as this would automatically leave Halai'b to another.
But that's why this no man's land has no princess.
Jeremiah Heaton from Abingdon in Virginia (USA) appropriated a piece of land between Egypt and Sudan and proclaimed it a "kingdom", so that his seven-year-old daughter Emily would be a real princess. Heaton was playing with Emily and she asked him if she would ever manage to become a real princess. Her father decided to go to no man's land and set up a flag designed by his children and declare that territory a kingdom.
Apart from Heaton, several people have previously claimed their rights to this land. He was journalist Jack Shenker, who visited Bir Tawil in 2011 and continued to hoist a yellow flag in the region.
The wanderings of Suyash Dikit's wanderers took him to this desolate country where he claimed the right to the region and called it the "Kingdom of Dikit".
However, no country or government or international body recognizes any of these claims, making them unfounded.
Anyway, at least it's interesting and this no-man's land got publicity.
Feng shui plant money.
Crassula ovata
although called "Japanese tree", this plant actually originates from the southern parts of Africa. That's why it's so durable. It belongs to the succulent plants, similar to the cactus. Succulents are very handsome plants specific in that they have the power to store water in their leaves. In our country (Serbia) it is known as krasula, Japanese tree or money tree. It was named after the oval-shaped sheets that resemble a coin.
ve enough money, no matter how objectively they have it. Such an attitude is typical of human nature, so feng shui has also addressed this issue. According to feng shui, it is very important where certain objects are located in our home, because in that way they affect the flow of energy. Therefore, it is considered that if the Japanese tree is decorated with money, it can bring the right inflow of funds to our current account. According to feng shui, the Japanese money tree should be kept at the entrance to the room, in the hallway on the left. Hallways represent crossroads, places where different energies mix, and the money tree is there to direct a certain energy in a positive direction. Krasula is considered to have good energy for new beginnings, it is there to encourage growth and development, it gives a positive. It is for this reason that the Japanese money tree is a great gift for birthdays, moving in, starting a new business, graduating. He pays homage to the moments in life that represent a natural turning point.
That is why it is believed that it can influence the inflow of money, its energy is there to encourage us to work and thus influence the balance in the bank. That is why it can often be found in corporations or restaurants.
You will have to check for yourself whether it will specifically affect your bank account…
One morning's thought.
Bad night. Insomnia. Somehow I forced myself to get up, to get ready for work. The morning cafe is here. I take a look through the daily papers. I open the newspaper, flip through it and suddenly my sweet coffee becomes very bitter.
Black chronicle full. Deaths, robberies, fights, etc. I turn the other side to calm down and there's a yellow press. Full of newspapers of various starlets, reality shows, and all written in capital letters. It's a horror, so where did we go?
Where are those days when we all knew each other, when you walk past a neighbor with a smile and the inevitable, "good morning, neighbor." Or, let's have a neighbor for coffee and a game of chess. Neighbor, I'm here, just shout I'm coming to help. Where are those postmen we eagerly awaited to bring us a letter or a postcard.
Where is that Sunday family lunch, when everyone is together. Where she is, the children's uncle and shouts while they are playing, and the mothers persistently call her to go inside for lunch or, even worse, to sleep.
If anyone knows where they went, let them tell me to go get them back. To restore all those good values of life. To restore mutual communication, to restore happiness and joy, to restore those happy days.
Send somewhere far away, drugs, hate, wars, immorality ... as far away as possible.
Aesthetic surgery and identity crisis
I often wonder how many people are willing to go far for some of their beliefs. Is it possible for some people to go so far and create health problems for themselves because of some of their beauty vision?
Psychologists say that plastic surgery is a trend in modern society, noting that procedures on the body can easily become addictive.
"It's a whim of today. Just as mini skirts used to be in fashion, now it's 'in' to have silicones or puffy lips. Aesthetic surgery is usually performed on immature people, who have an identity crisis and a distorted image of themselves." says psychologist Ivana Zečević and recommends that you talk to experts before deciding on any intervention on the body.
Pixie Fox from Stockholm currently lives in North Carolina, USA, and together with Justin, she spent an incredible 493,000 dollars on plastic surgery - from shoulder implants to liposuction.
She underwent more than 20 surgeries to achieve a perfect hourglass figure, including breast augmentation and rib removal.
Justin Jedlik (36) had as many as 128 aesthetic corrections, which is why they tell him today that they look like a living doll.
Andrea Emilova Ivanova, a student from Bulgaria, is obsessed with the size of her lips and tries to make them as full as possible, which is why she went for a lip augmentation intervention 21 times. The interventions on her lips so far have cost her more than 3,000 euros, but she does not regret it, because she says that all the time she received messages of support via social networks because of her courage and bravery.
**Aesthetic** surgery deals with the correction of aesthetic defects and beautification of the human body
**Plastic** surgery with its numerous possibilities gives the face and body the desired, more beautiful appearance and exists to provide a better quality of life, to restore or raise a person's self-confidence. Due to burns, injuries on the machines, it is necessary to restore the original appearance.
**Reconstructive** surgery aims to restore and compensate for functional defects that may be congenital or acquired.
**These types of surgery should be used exclusively for positive purposes, in order to solve the problem of people who really have an anomaly and health problems because of it. But they should by no means be exploited to the extent that they are used in America, for example. That is too much**!

Alfred Hitchcock is certainly best known for his film "Psycho", and especially for the scene in which a man dressed in his dead mother's clothes attacks a naked woman who is taking a shower in a motel with a knife.
The legendary shower scene in the movie "Psycho", although very short, was shot from as many as 70 angles, and its shooting lasted seven days. was important.

"The audience was completely traumatized in 1960. In a recent documentary about that scene, '78/52' Peter Bogdanovich recalls the 'continuous screaming' that filled the cinema during the New York premiere of 'Psycho.'
Ed Gain, a serial killer from Wisconsin who committed a series of brutal murders, and later kept the bones of his victims. Gain later confessed to the two murders, and many of the bizarre things the police found in his house stem from his nightly visits to the cemetery. Ed Gain, who had a very strict and dominant mother who was married to a violent and often unemployed alcoholic. He had no friends, and he was one of the most intelligent students at school. When he was 10, he ejaculated after seeing his mother and father kill a dog, and his mother later nearly drowned him when she found him masturbating in the bathtub. His father died of a heart attack in 1940, and four years later, his brother Henry died in a fire. Some held Ed to blame, but it was never proven. After his mother's death, he became obsessed with violence and sex, so he exhumed the bodies of dead women from the cemetery in order to have sexual relations with them and made souvenirs from their body parts. However, since this did not satisfy his fantasies, he started killing. Suspicion immediately fell on him, and he spent the rest of his life in a madhouse.

History of Harley-Davidson Motorcycles
There is no other engine in the world with so much charisma, spirit and uniqueness, like the brilliantly polished shiny two-wheeled cruisers, with a V engine worthy of a car and the inscription "Harley Davidson" on the tank. It all started a long time ago, in fact 100 years ago, when Bill Harley and Arthur Davidson, children of American immigrants living in Milwaukee, decided to realize the "American dream".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptmLRFzqg3s
Although it is an American legend and icon, it would be unfair not to mention that Bill's father was born in Manchester and Davidson in Scotland. In 1903, the first single-cylinder Harley Davidson motorcycle was created, conceived as a racing engine. A lover of innovation, C.H. Lang from Chicago opens the first representative office of the newly established company and during the year manages to sell one of the three created copies. Three years later, the business must expand to meet market demands. Six new workers were hired and a product catalog was printed. Only a year after that does it flourish. Another 12 workers are employed, the size of the factory has doubled, and production is climbing to 150 units a year. The biggest buyer of this engine at the time was the American police, who considered it perfect for doing their job.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqtm2pA1jLo
There is a story about how the police looked at everyone who rides the same engine as them, but unfortunately in a negative context. The year 1909 is important for the history of this motorcycle, because then the first V-twin was created, 1000 cc, with a cylinder angle of 45 degrees and 7HP. An incredible 1,149 copies were produced during that year.
Over the next ten years, the company did business with the US military, and every third model was sold to them. During the First World War, about 20,000 copies of this engine were used by the American army. Such a market and material security allow the manufacturer to open 2,000 offices in America and create a great prospect. In 1920, production reached 28,189 copies of the Harley.
In 1928, the first Harley Davidson was created, with a twin-cam engine, brakes and a front wheel. This construction enabled a speed of over 135 km / h at that time.
Bill Harley dies in 1943, and seven years later Arthur Davidson. The job remains with their successors, who make every effort to continue the business.
One of the strongest marketing appearances of the time was in 1956, when the king of rock 'n' roll recorded an advertisement for "Harley Davidson", published on the cover of "Enthusiast" magazine.
The sixties are an age of innovation. Fiberglass, electric starter and many other electrical aids are used, supporting "luxury". In those years, another part of the "Harley Davidson" image was spontaneously created. Namely, drivers are starting to wear black leather jackets en masse. When it comes to image, drivers are perceived as outlaws and people on the edge of the law, thanks in large part to Marlon Brando, driving a Harley in Wilde Ones.
In addition to the technically advanced features, there is something that makes “Harley Davidson” completely different from the others, and that is its sound. I can freely say that there is no other motorcycle, which produces a sound like from the exhaust of a "Harley Davidson". The reason for this is the construction of the engine, made in such a way that between the two explosions, using a vacuum, a sound is produced that is best described by the words "pop". Technically, two "pop" are created, and instead of the third, there is a break. Motorcycle enthusiasts who once hear this sound, certainly do not forget it ...
Tomorrow we celebrate Saint Paraskevi, the patron saint of women.
Tomorrow, the Serbian Orthodox Church celebrates the day of the Venerable Mother Paraskeva - St. Petka, a saint who helped the sick and the poor.
The cult of St. Paraskevi has been nurtured for centuries in Southeast Europe, and is respected by some non-Christian peoples in the East. Believers pray to her for help and salvation from diseases and other life troubles.
She came from a wealthy and pious family. She had a brother, whose name was Jevtimije, and who became a monk at a very young age, and later became the bishop of Madita (989 - 996). Even as a little girl, when she went to church with her mother, she was very pious. After the death of her parents, eager for an ascetic life, she left her parents' home and went to Constantinople, where she became a monk in the Church of St. Sophia, and then went to the Jordan Desert.
Next to the temples of St. Paraskevi, there are often springs of healing water that people take, believing that it will heal their wounds and protect them from diseases. Paraskevi was born in Epivat, near the city of Kalikratia in Asia Minor, in the late 10th or early 11th century.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGDoKPSZ8cE
According to tradition, St. Paraskevi spent many years in the desert, in fasting and prayer and a solitary life. Tradition says that an angel appeared to her in a dream and sent her to her homeland to spread the faith of Christ. That is why Holy Paraskevi is represented on the icons in monastic clothes, with a cross in his hand.
At her grave, legend has it, miracles happened. In 1238, according to some, the Bulgarian Tsar Jovan Asen abducted, according to others, he simply transferred the relics of Saint Paraskevi to his capital city of Trnovo. When the Turks conquered Bulgaria, the relics were transferred, by order of Sultan Bayezid, to the city of Iasi.
`Monastery of St. Paraskevi at Domiros`
According to popular belief, the evening before tomorrow's holiday of Saint Paraskevi has a special meaning. After dinner you usually go to sleep.
**It is obligatory to cross oneself three times and say the prayer: "Help God, Saint Paraskevi and Holy Sunday, forgive us if we have done something wrong; help me and save me, God, from someone else's unseen misery; save me from evil thoughts; help me tomorrow, God forbid; health, good to sleep, bad not to shoot, but immortelle and basil; may God give health, happiness and progress and let us look forward to tomorrow healthy and alive! "**
`Church Of Saint Paraskevi, Kalemegdan, Belgrade`
This is how only the host usually prayed, and women and children were crucified only three times. He sleeps after prayer. The head always turns to the east during sleep, because that is how it rolls. One hand is placed under the head and the other is stretched. They always lie on the right side, because that's how it rolls. Where there are children, the room is burned with incense, so that the children would not be afraid in their sleep.
In 1396, Princess Milica managed to pray for the saint's relics and bury them in the church of Ružica, on Kalemegdan, where every year a column of women waits in line for miraculous water. Sultan Suleiman the Second transferred the relics of St. Paraskevi in 1521 to Constantinople. Finally, in 1641, the Patriarch of Constantinople Parthenius presented the relics to the Moldavian prince Vasilije Lupula, who transferred them to Iasi and laid them in the Church of the Holy Three Hierarchs, where they are today.
**Folk beliefs and customs**
According to folk customs, women should not knead, cook, sew, wash clothes or do any work in the house in order not to incur the wrath of the saint and not to make their hands tingle during the year.
On Saint Paraskevi, great miracles happened. Many sick people have recovered to this day. That is why people with health problems are waiting for this holiday, believing that the saint will help them.
`Miraculous spring of St. Paraskeva.`
Legend has it that the source was created as an expression of gratitude to the father, for the miraculous healing of his sick daughter. Once upon a time, on this route, he led the road from Ostružnica to Belgrade.
A rich and respectable merchant from Ostružnica often took his daughter, blind from birth, to the doctor in the capital. On one of these trips, they stopped by the spring to refresh themselves, wash themselves and drink some cold spring water. The next morning, after waking up crying, the girl exclaimed to see the light. That night, in a dream, Saint Paraskevi appeared to the merchant. As a sign of gratitude, a rich merchant arranged a spring and placed a marble icon of Saint Paraskevi
According to the legend, the miraculous sources of Saint Paraskevi were created during the transfer of her holy relics, from Constantinople, through Serbia, further on the way to Romania to the city of Iasi.
In all the places where the procession stopped to spend the night, a miraculous spring with holy and healing water was created.
His IQ was over 250, and today no one even remembers his name.
It is estimated that Albert Einstein had an IQ of 160, Isaac Newton of 190, and Mark Zuckerberg of 152. These people are known around the world as the greatest geniuses.
However, there was one man whose IQ was believed to be between 250 and 300! Have you ever heard of a man named William James Sidis?
This is a man who was once considered a miracle child. He was an outstanding mathematician, the most intelligent man in history, a polyglot and a gifted writer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A68hLvl7O0
William was born in New York in 1898. His father Boris was a distinguished psychologist who was proud of four degrees from Harvard University.
His mother was also a doctor. As his parents were smart and successful people, they expected the same from their son. But he surpassed all assumptions and proved to be far more than the average person.
He inherited his love for learning foreign languages from his father Boris, who was known as an excellent polyglot.
Under his father's influence, he developed his potential and reportedly read the New York Times at just 18 months old.
By the age of eight, he had learned Latin, Greek, French, Russian, German, Hebrew, Turkish, and Armenian on his own. In addition, little William invented his own language and called it Wendergood.
Aware of his son's above-average intelligence, Boris Sidis tried to enroll him at Harvard, but was rejected because William was only nine years old.
Two years later, in 1909, the University accepted the application and so William became the youngest person enrolled at Harvard.
By 1910, his knowledge of mathematics had increased so much that professors allowed William to teach in class.
They called him a child prodigy.
By the age of 16, he also obtained a degree in art studies. Shortly after graduation, William told reporters that he wanted to live a "perfect life", which in his opinion was the only lonely life.
He also announced that he would never marry.
The fame he gained but did not want it, his decision was reflected in the pressure that William suffered from his parents.
Since he himself was respectable and famous, William's father wanted to make his son a star. In order to achieve that, he began to apply his knowledge of psychology to his son and terribly pressured and forced him.
Although William enjoyed learning as a child, when he grew up his opinion changed and he blamed his father for everything.
How angry he was with his father is also shown by the fact that, when Boris passed away in 1923, William refused to come to his funeral.
As geniuses usually did so in order not to stand out in any way, William also did low-paid and ordinary work.
He got a job as an assistant priest, but people still recognized him, so he changed that job as well.
In 1924, journalists discovered that William was doing a low-paid manual job, but this time the hymns about the rebellious genius were missing - now the newspaper headlines mocked the former miracle of a child and pointed out that William could no longer do what he could as a child.
This, of course, was not true, which was later shown through the multitude of priceless books that William wrote during his lifetime under various false names.
Although he tried to live illegally, William was arrested in 1919 as a participant in a violent protest in Boston and sentenced to 18 months in prison.
However, the parents found a way to release him from prison and instead, they locked his son in a sanatorium for two years. William spent his whole life completely lonely and upset. He became estranged from his family and started working as a machine worker to make ends meet.
William James Sidis, a man who could change the world, passed away suddenly at the age of 46, due to a brain hemorrhage, from which his father also died.
A life filled with the tragedy of a famous painter.
On July 28, 1890, the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh died of self-injury. It was the end of a long, difficult and painful life of an incomprehensible genius who, in a moment of madness, even cut off his own ear.
The exact reasons why the painter Vincent van Gogh decided to cut off his ear remain a mystery after more than a century. New research casts doubt on the popular theory that the famous painter Vincent van Gogh cut off his ear in moments of madness after an argument with "colleague" artist Paul Gauguin.
Namely, Martin Bailey, researcher and author of the book about the famous painter "Studio of the South" claims that Van Gogh cut off his ear after receiving a letter stating that his brother Theo, Vincent's greatest founder and admirer, would marry, Garidjan writes.
Until now, it was known that Van Gogh was a great opponent of that marriage. The artist feared that he would break his close relationship with Theo and that in the end his brother, once he started his own family, would be denied financial help, on which the artist relied heavily, since he had not yet sold any of his works.
However, historians have so far believed that the letter in which Theo informs him about the marriage arrived only after Van Gogh had already cut off his ear.
Bailey claims that he has evidence that the painter received the letter on December 23, 1888, just a few hours before he cut off his ear. That evening, it is true, there was an argument with Paul Gauguin, but she was just the "icing on the cake" of the already very unhappy Vincent.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzMkLvPOTrc
However, that night the painter cut off his ear and ended up in a psychiatric hospital. So instead of spending Christmas with his young fiancée, Theo came to visit his brother.
After a short stay in the insane asylum, Van Gogh was fired on January 7, and then he wrote to Theo: "Beautiful days will come soon and I will start painting orchids in bloom again."
In 1890, Van Gogh moved to Over Sir Oise, north of Paris, where he created his last work before committing suicide. He last saw his brother during his visit on July 6, 1890.
Vincent van Gogh shot himself on July 27 and died two days later in Theo's presence.
After his brother's death, Theo became depressed and was soon admitted to a sanatorium in Utrecht, where he was diagnosed with "general paralysis of the nerves associated with syphilis", but today the possibility is mentioned that he suffered from temporary acute porphyria, which may have been Vincent's basic disease.
Until November of the same year, he himself was permanently admitted to the insane asylum. He died a few months later at the age of 33. Theo and Vincent van Gogh are buried next to each other.
Vincent Van Gogh was a Dutch painter, graphic artist and draftsman, a post-impressionist who is considered one of the most famous and influential people in the history of Western art.
Betty Boop."bup-up-a-dup"
Betty Boop is a cartoon character, but in terms of popularity and recognition, she has far exceeded the limits of that medium. Today, she is in comics, on T-shirts, she is part of commercials, and her "bup-up-a-dup" is known all over the world. Yet the story of the woman (or women) who served as the inspiration for the creation of this sensual (and somewhat scandalous) cartoon character is largely unknown. Because Betty Boop's fame far surpassed theirs.
Betty Boop was born in the Flasher studio, where she made her debut on August 9, 1930, and very quickly became very popular in a series of short cartoons of the same name by Paramount Pictures.
Its creator Max Flecher did not hide that he was inspired by the images of several famous American entertainers at the time, the most impressive of which was the image of the singer Helen Kane.
The animator of the character, Grim Natwick, based on the song "Bup-Bup-A-Dup" performed by Helen Kane, created a cartoon character to whom these words will suit, and that phrase soon became a trademark of the entire cartoon series.
Helen Kane worked for Paramount Pictures at the time of creating the character and, although a rising star during the 20s, she was already nearing the end of her career. What's more, she was just one in a series of actresses of the time who used "bup-up-a-dup" as a phrase, so that was the fame that the studio planned to inherit by switching to the cartoon character Betty Boop.
However, things got complicated when Helen Kane filed a lawsuit against Max Flecher and Paramout Studios in 1932, seeking $ 250,000 in damages, claiming that the phrase "bup-up-a-dup" was used from her song "I wanna be loved by you ”.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i55odj2--Ls
Helen claimed that Betty Boop's appearance was a deliberate caricature of her appearance, which violated the law on human rights, as well as that the heroine from the cartoon represented "unfair competition".
The girls who borrowed the votes of Betty Boop - Bonnie Poe and Margie Hines, testified in favor of the defense.
At one point, the defense called manager Louis Bolton, who testified that Esther Jones, an African-American singer from the "Cotton Club" in Harlem, was the one who included the "boops" in her performances long before Kane.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJbuKVIOx2c&list=RD8W9Ou73Pt9A&index=2
Thanks to the recording from this club, it has been proven that this dark-skinned beauty used the "bup-bup" phrase a few years before Helen. Moreover, although Kane never admitted it, there was a possibility that she picked it up from her because she herself often visited this place.
Unfortunately, little is known about singer Esther Jones today. The recordings of her voice that were released at the trial have been lost, and today it is considered that she was deceased even before the trial began.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBytluF3gIU
After years of litigation that turned into a media circus, it all ended without a real winner - Helen Kane continued to claim that she was the inspiration for Betty, Paramount Pictures never paid her any compensation, and the provocative cartoon heroine continued to perform her own, more and more legendary "bup-a-dup" in every cartoon in which she appeared.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukNDdliJwJ0&feature=emb_logo
Today, Esther Jones is forgotten. And Helen Kane's fame has faded and mostly no one even remembers her. Only Betty Boop still lives on the screens. And, of course, he always utters the familiar "bup-a-dup."
Good Night, sweet dreams...

Weather conditions affect our mood and health!
I hate that feeling of nervousness, resentment, and all the negative feelings that I feel when the weather changes. From an early age I had these ailments.
Remember the last time you blamed the change of time for your mood, nervousness, irritability, and other health problems. It may sometimes have been just an excuse, but it has always been known that the weather really affects people. Hippocrates is still He wrote in his writings that in certain weather situations we do not take a knife in our hands. On the coast, a significantly higher number of crimes was recorded if the south wind blew, etc. When the weather changes are sudden and frequent, the only mitigating circumstance is if you are not a meteorologist, but then you believe among the rare.
In most cases, the symptoms appear a day or two before the change of time and can last from 24 to 48 hours.
Severe headache, joint pain and sore bones, feeling that the body is not yours, fatigue and the problem of insomnia - for many these symptoms of meteoropathy are very famous. Chronic patients, if they are also meteorologists, are by far the most endangered. Changes in the weather greatly affect the general mood of people - namely, they become nervous, irritable, suffer from insomnia, etc. The fact that biometeorology was created as a separate area of meteorology.
Sudden change of mood is very often associated with bioprognosis. The time that adversely affects almost all people is just before the arrival of a strong front, when the pressure drops significantly, the wind begins to blow high humidity and heat. This is an extremely unfavorable biometeorological forecast and meteorologists should definitely be careful. As the situation in the atmosphere changes, so does our brain. Before the cyclone passes, it secretes more ACHT, ie the stress hormone releases less endrophins hormone that acts as a natural remedy for pain. As a result, our body's defenses decline, but also the mood.
During significant changes in the weather, the number of heart attacks and strokes has increased, because it is easier to form blood clots, while people who have problems with stomach ulcers are exposed to a higher risk of bleeding.
For meteorologists, the best prevention is to stay in nature for at least an hour or two a day, in all weather conditions, as well as drinking certain teas.
In case of announced change of weather, stronger wind, fast approaching clouds and higher air mass, teas for relaxing nerves and muscles will help you, as well as healing Zhen Shen. These natural teas are most effective from the transition from autumn to winter…
Meteorologists should always have chamomile, hawthorn or linden tea on hand because it will reduce nervous irritability and tension. If you drink any of these teas, you will feel relief after seven days. Physical activity is simply necessary, stretching exercises especially because it will make your muscles and nerves elastic and much more resistant to changes in weather and climatic oscillations that come ..
Inhale a light amount of lavender oil - a few drops a day, it will relax you and clear your head.
Valerian tea is one of the best natural drinks for the treatment of insomnia, ideal for meteorologists who have a problem with insomnia, be sure to use it.
In case of strong fog and high humidity, especially chronically ill people suffer, especially asthmatics. If this is your case, do not go out, warm up and drink angelica, ginseng tea because it encourages better blood circulation.
Do not warm yourself too much in cold weather, you will slow down the circulation. Try to keep the temperature in the living room around 20 degrees if you are a meteorologist. In addition to intense headaches, high temperature in rooms can weaken your immunity, to a large temperature difference (inside and outside the house) ..
It is best to follow these tips and try to overcome these difficulties as positively and with a smile as possible.
Herta Oberhauser, Dr. MONSTRUM from Auschwitz and Ravensbrück.
Probably the most famous doctor-monster who gave a completely new dimension of horror with his experiments on people during the Second World War was Josef Mengele. Still, he wasn't the only one!
There were other Nazi doctors for whom the Hippocratic oath meant nothing and who were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Among them, one woman stood out for her atrocities and cruelty.
There were women among the monster doctors. One of the most notorious was Herta Oberhauser, a doctor from Auschwitz and Ravensbrick - a concentration camp especially remembered for the terrible crimes committed by women guards.
What made Herta stand out were the experiments on women, in most cases Polish women, from whom she had organs removed, often while they were still alive. She examined the possibility of organ regeneration, as well as bone transplantation.
However, Hertha did not stop here. She killed healthy children by injecting them with poisons that make a person die within 3 to 5 minutes, but to be conscious all the time. After that, she removed the lungs and other vital organs from the patients and examined the effect of the poison.

She conducted some of the most terrifying and painful medical experiments, with an emphasis on deliberately inflicting wounds on inmates. To simulate the wounds that German soldiers suffered in battle, Oberheuser rubbed foreign objects such as wood, rusty nails, pieces of glass, dust or sawdust into cuts.
Herta was the only woman at the Nazi medical trial in Nuremberg and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. The sentence was later reduced to 10 years, and this doctor waited to see her freedom again - she was released in 1952 due to good behavior.
It is shocking that she still worked as a family doctor in Germany. She lost her work permit only after she was recognized by one of the victims from the 1958 camp. However, she complained, and regained the right to practice medicine in April 1961, after which she worked in a laboratory at the Bodelshving Institute.
She died in January 1978 at the age of 66.
Medicinal properties of Himalayan salt..
Himalayan salt is the healthiest and cleanest salt in the world. It has been one of the most valuable foods in the human diet since ancient times. In Korea, it was one of the basic foodstuffs for exchange, and in ancient Rome, soldiers were paid with salt. Himalayan salt was a rare and valuable food in ancient times. Unlike refined table salt, it is metabolized faster and does not increase the concentration of potassium and sodium in the blood, and thus does not lead to high blood pressure.

Sodium is a basic nutrient that is necessary for our body to maintain electrolyte levels, helps regulate blood pressure and the normal functioning of muscle tissue. It contains 84 precious elements that are also found in our body, and thus supplies our body with all the necessary and essential minerals. Those minerals that we find in Himalayan salt are tiny and the cell can digest them very easily. Himalayan salt has a unique molecular structure that contains sodium, calcium, magnesium, as well as iron, which are necessary for proper cellular metabolism.
The Himalayan salt is more than 250 million years old. It was created in pure Himalayan caves, from which people still take it out and wash it by hand. It dries naturally in the sun and after drying it is packed in organic bags, in order to maintain the purity and vibrations of the perfect natural environment. It is used in slightly smaller quantities, because it has a rather intense taste, so the daily salt intake is smaller in quantity, which is much better for our health. In addition to regulating pressure, it is great for people who suffer from poor circulation in the legs and arms.
Traditionally, the Himalayan salt was considered extremely valuable, and it was used mainly in courts, among the wealthy aristocracy, and has long been called white gold. The highest quality boulders are ground in edible salt, while coarser ground ones are used in baths and for various treatments. Here are just some of its health benefits.
It is easily absorbed and prevents dehydration of the organism.
It regulates electrolytes and water levels in the body.
Himalayan salt regulates blood sugar levels and prevents the development of diabetes.

It is good to have a table lamp in the office where you spend a lot of time, or in the rooms where your children stay.
How does a Himalayan salt lamp work? When the salt crystal is heated, it emits negative ions that are good for our health and thus achieves the effect of a natural ionizer. The lamp has no expiration date, and is also ideal as a gift for a loved one.
Ayrton Senna, the "Rain Man", left a powerful mark in Formula 1...
It has been 26 years since the legendary Brazilian Ayrton Senna lost his life during the Formula 1 race for the San Marino Grand Prix. Sena, one of the best drivers in the history of Formula 1, if not the best, died at the age of 34 after his steering wheel broke and failed, at a speed of over 300 km / h, hit a wall in the curve of Tamburelo on the track "Enco and Dino Ferrari ”.
The legendary Brazilian has triumphed 41 times in his career, found himself on the podium 39 more times, won three championship titles and was remembered as the king of qualifications and the best driver in the rain ever.
He ruled the streets of Monte Carlo and since his debut in Formula 1 in 1984, he has defended the colors of Toleman, Lotus, McLaren and Williams.
Given that legends live forever, in memory of the man who left an indelible mark in the world of sports and motoring, we remember the great Seine…
Sena was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as Ayrton Sena da Silva, into a wealthy family. When he wanted his first karting car, he received it as a gift from his father when he was only 4 years old, and he started karting competitions at the age of 13.
He entered the world of Formula 1 in 1984. The wealth of his family certainly enabled him to enter the expensive world of motoring, but don't be fooled by that fact. The villains would say that Seni's father provided him with entry into this sport, but his father definitely did not provide him with a stay in it. Simply - he was the best.
He made his debut in 1984 in a very bad car for Toleman. In the 4th race of the season in Monaco, Sena slowly began to break into the world of serious motoring names.
It was raining unbelievably. They say a torrent of water is pouring down the streets of Monaco. Sena started from 13th position, but during a race that everyone thought was unfeasible due to virtually impossible weather conditions (the race was briefly interrupted at one point), Sena "added gas" and reached position 2 in lap 31. .
Some of the enthusiastic journalists shouted "Rain man", and the crowd accepted the name that was given to him spontaneously, so Sena's nickname remained "Rain Man" until the end. They say it is one of the best races in the history of Formula 1.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pItzcHBHt0
In 1988, Sena decided to join the McLaren team, in which his teammate was the hardened Alan Prost. That season, they both won 15 of 16 races together, and the Brazilian took his first title thanks to the competition system. This was because only 11 races were scored, while the other five were characterized as races for prestige.
However, the rivalry between the two maestro drivers was visible from the start. Prost, when they called him "Professor", because of his exceptional insight and concentration to drive in many races in the so-called firungu or as professional drivers would slangically say "on the shoelace", he could not stand the hearty and brave Sen who drove forever "on a razor".
They say that the Senna drove faster than the speed for which the cars were designed. He used to say, "Being second means being first among those who have lost. I'm not designed to be 2nd or 3rd. I was born to win."
He was very religious. He often said that "if you have God on your side, everything is much clearer." He was always incredibly calm and down-to-earth, almost humble in conversation with ordinary people, which is not typical of other Formula 1 drivers, who are usually arrogant and arrogant.
During his life, he spent 400 million dollars on the education of Brazilian children, without ever saying a word about it in public. He loved to play chess, ride jet skis, water ski and fish.
Sena feared that someone would be killed at the Tamburelo turn in Imola. He told his colleague, Gerhard Berger, that the protective fence had to be moved from that angle, because he was afraid that someone would die there, but as the river flowed right behind the fence, it was impossible to do that. He did not know that, ironically, he would be the one to lose his life in that place. Just half an hour before the race, he gave an interview to a French TV station, deciding to bury the hatchets with Alan Prost. During the race, which started at 2 pm, Sena hit a concrete wall on Tamburel at a speed of 280 km / h. Although he was immediately given medical help, nothing more could be done for him.
After Senna's death, his sister Vivienne continued to run the Ayrton Senna Institute, which was founded by her brother, and to this day has helped educate millions of Brazilian children. The board member is none other than - Alan Prost. Many streets, avenues and institutions in Brazil today are named Ayrton Senna.
Biorhythm of the organism during 24 hours.
Ancient Chinese medicine, its teaching, for thousands of years, is based on chronobiological rules that are increasingly applied in the West. The physiological functions of our organism change during 24 hours, depending on the biorhythm that is repeated daily according to the established clock. If we respect this biological clock, we can determine when we are most ready for work and when for sleep, as well as when our immune system is weakest, what is the best time for recreation, when we should take medication to make their effect most optimal, etc.
Internal biological clock:
**03-05h (Meridian of the lungs):** The lungs have the maximum energy activity in this period, which is responsible for the free flow of energy and respiratory diseases. In case of lack of circulating energy, insomnia with melancholy and sudden depression is possible.
**05-07h (Colon Meridian):** The colon is the meridian that has the most activity in this time interval. This is the period when, in addition to physical emptying, it is also recommended emotionally, in order to get rid of anxiety. It causes crying in children.
**07-09h (Stomach Meridian):** Time to use for breakfast. The stomach breaks down food during this period, so bloating or a feeling of hunger can occur if the meal is not balanced and healthy.
**09-11h (Meridian of the spleen and pancreas):** In the period from 9 to 11h the spleen is in charge of converting the ingested food into energy. An imbalance in the work of the spleen causes lethargy of the mind, attention deficit and lack of energy. In case you feel tired after eating, relieve it with tea salt.
**11-13h (Meridian of the heart):** This is the time to use for lunch, but without coffee and any activities that cause the heart to beat. Feelings of heat on the palms, increased shyness and a tendency to confuse are possible.
**13-15h (Meridian of the small intestine):** It is possible that the consequences of mild dehydration are manifested in this period, in case you have not taken in enough fluids by this part of the day. Care should be taken as this can cause bloating and ulceration.
**15-17h (Meridian of the bladder):** The time of day when you will feel tired. A bladder that has a problem manifests itself by tingling when urinating or fungal infections.
**17-19h (Kidney Meridian):** Kidney energy activity is highest in this period. When the kidneys are not in balance, abundant urination, a feeling of coldness in the legs and a problem with sexual potency are possible.
**19-21h (Meridian of the pericardium, membranes that line the heart):** The sensitivity of the body is increased, so deep breathing and activity that relaxes you is recommended. Pain in the upper extremities and tension in the shoulder muscles are characteristic discomfort for this meridian.
**21-23h (Meridian of the triple heater):** Weakness, increased fatigue, ringing in the ears. This time of night is the right time to sleep.
**23-01h (Gallbladder Meridian):** The gallbladder is responsible for secreting bile, and emotionally, it is responsible for the feeling of self-esteem and decision-making. It is recommended as a period for going to sleep.
**01-03h (Liver meridian):** In Chinese medicine, the menstrual cycle is associated with the liver, so in this meridian, a cycle disorder is possible when accompanied by dissatisfaction and apathy.
Basil essential oil and how to make it.
Basil essential oil is used to treat wounds and infections. The name sweet basil oil is often used. It is a favorite spice in Italian cuisine, Thai and some Eastern European dishes.
Basil has very useful vitamins for health. It is rich in vitamin K, iron and beta carotene. It is known that the leaves of the plant were used to treat migraines and chest infections.
It contains antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and diuretic properties.
This essential oil is used in aromatherapy by inhalation, topically (by applying it to the skin) and orally.
Basil (Ocimum basilicum) is an annual herbaceous spice plant. It originates from India and today it is widespread in the wider Mediterranean area.
It can grow up to 80 cm in height, with purple shoots covered with long curly hairs. The effect of basil is exactly the same as the effect of sage, lemon balm and mint.
There are two ways you can prepare basil oil yourself. Both are very simple. From the ingredients for the preparation you will need:
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 liter of fresh water
¾ glasses of sunflower oil
¼ glasses of extra virgin olive oil
Preparation
Take a larger bowl on which you will put a strainer and fresh basil leaves in it. Pour boiling water over these leaves and then rinse them immediately with cold water. This stops the process of cooking basil. You will leave them to dry for a while.
Place them between two paper towels and press lightly to remove all the water. If necessary, change a few napkins until you have drained all the water from them. Put the blanched leaves in a blender, add oil and mix until you get a combined mass.
Pour this prepared mixture into a bowl with a thicker bottom and put it on a moderate heat. Stir the mixture constantly so that it does not burn. In a few minutes the color will change to emerald green and then the oil is done. Remove from the heat, allow to cool and ready to use.
Another way of preparation
You need:
2 cups fresh basil leaves
1 cup olive oil
Pinch of salt
Wash the leaves of the plant under a stream of lukewarm water. Soak them in boiling water for a minute. Stir a few times so that they do not boil and then transfer them to cold water.
Put the sheets in a paper towel and tap on them until you remove all the water from them. Put olive oil, salt and dried plant leaves in a blender and then make a puree. In addition to olive oil, you can use rapeseed oil for preparation. When everything is nicely combined, pour the mass into a glass jar with a lid.
Store the mass in the refrigerator. It needs to stand for 24 hours for the aroma to come to the fore. You can use basil essential oil prepared in this way for 7 days.
Ways to use:
You can use it for topping grilled chicken, shrimp or vegetables
If you add a little freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt and pepper to it, it serves as a dressing for salads
Small amounts of this oil can add a special flavor to soups
It gives a fantastic taste to tomatoes and boiled corn
Great and tasty sauce for which you only need a little more French bread
Side effects and precautions
Basil oil should be avoided during pregnancy because it can affect hormone levels and muscle function. Not suitable for use in people with epilepsy.
If you are using the oil for the first time, test for sensitivity. Apply a small amount on the forearm and rub. If redness occurs there is a high chance that you are allergic to basil.
Keep it away from the eyes and inside the nose.
The baby swims like a fish in water.
It has been scientifically proven that babies are born with innate reflexes for swimming and diving, and we reveal to you what you should adhere to if you take your baby to the pool.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOhdNWqf-9g
Diving reflex, a baby is born with it. When you let her dive, she will hold her breath and open her eyes. Over time, this reflex weakens, so you have to teach older children how to hold their breath if they want to dive (although that reflex is never completely lost).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML5qHGt0n1U
Despite the innate reflexes, you should not leave the baby alone in the water for even a second, because there is always a danger of water being swallowed.
Swedish scientists conducted a study in which 21 babies, aged between four and twelve months, participated. None of them swallowed the water or choked when they dived into the water. It is also interesting that no baby was scared of the next "dive". On the contrary, it seemed to make them happy. However, we must note that you should never try the diving reflex on your baby yourself, because it could be dangerous!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahuJkvMG4Is&feature=emb_logo
Here is an example. The girl Arabel is only one year and nine months old, and she jumps into the pool without fear and feels like a real little fish in it. Even when her parents let her go, she swims to the edge of the pool quite calmly, and of course, like any child when he has something fun - he wants more! (2015)
The most important thing is certainly security. You must take care not to leave the baby alone in the water for a second, ie. pool. Also, be careful not to swim while holding the baby - because it can be very dangerous, but always lean your feet on the bottom of the pool.
Although many babies enjoy being in the water and "swimming", don't expect your child to really swim until his first birthday. First of all, you should understand swimming training for babies as a joint fun, which you and your baby enjoy.
Pride and Prejudice-Jane Austen...
Mr. and Mrs. Bennet have five unmarried daughters, and Mrs. Bennet desperately wants to find a suitable husband for each. When two young and unmarried men, Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy, come to live in the neighborhood, the Bennets rejoice in this happy set of circumstances. But pride, prejudice and misunderstandings complicate their relationships and make happiness almost unattainable.
In addition to exciting events, this novel also attracts the attention of the extraordinary character of Elizabeth, a direct and shrewd young lady, who does not obey the generally accepted rules of beautiful and decent behavior, but listens to the voice of her heart and conscience. Her honesty and mistakes made out of prejudice make her portrait even closer and more convincing, and her determination and independence bring the features of modern psychology into this character and hint at the spirit of the new time.
The unforgettable classic Jane Austen, a witty and intelligently written book, takes the reader through the lavish salons of nineteenth-century England and makes, according to many literary theorists, an irresistible and flawless read.
Romantic souls will always have Jane Austen and countless film adaptations of her works.
The story of Elizabeth Bennet and her perfect but proud Mr. Darcy was first adapted for the big screen in 1940. This film may not be one of the more important classics, but it exudes an old-fashioned Hollywood flair. Unlike later adaptations, it emphasizes the comic side of the story and does not go too deep into the relationship of the main characters.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dYv5u6v55Y&list=RDCMUCTCjFFoX1un-j7ni4B6HJ3Q&start_radio=1&t=131
The film adaptation, which brought the famous novel closer to a younger audience, was shot in 2005. This adaptation was declared by many critics the best so far. Renowned British director Joe Wright has given the well-known story a new freshness. He entered the heart of "Pride and Prejudice", making Darcy less arrogant, and more confused and incompetent in front of the character of the romantic Elizabeth. Keira Knightley shone in the role of Elizabeth and added to her the youthful charm that was lacking in the more serious actresses who had played this character before her.
Women in science are still struggling against long-standing prejudices and biases.
The two British scientists became known around the world as individuals who developed in vitro fertilization, but both viewed their colleague, **Gene Purdy**, as an equal partner in this discovery and development. One of them, Dr. Robert Edwards, tried to find out about her work and contribution, but his efforts were mostly unsuccessful, and her efforts remained completely unknown for four decades.
"She contributed as much to our work as Patrick Stepto or I did," Dr. Edwards wrote in a letter to Oldham Health in 1981, adding that Dr. Stepto acknowledged Purdi's importance in a book published by the two.
Dr. Edwards' letter was among the documents published in June from the archives of Cambridge University, where Dr. Edwards taught physiology. Purdi, a nurse and embryologist, traveled with him to Oldham in the north of England for 10 years where they developed the in vitro fertilization process together.
He wrote:
**"She contributed to the project as much as I did."**
At the time he wrote it, authorities were preparing to erect a memorial plaque in Oldham to mark the birth of Louise Brown, the world's first "test tube baby" in 1978.
The correspondence of Dr. Edwards, who died in 2013, showed that he was persistent in his efforts to get Purdi equal recognition, but his efforts were unsuccessful. Oldham Health Institution put his name and Dr. Stepto's name on the plaque, leaving out Gene Purdy. Another plaque with the same inscription was placed in 1992 at the Oldham District General Hospital where Brown was born.
It was not until 2015 that the Royal Society of Biologists placed a plaque honoring all three of these researchers.
Professor Dama Athena Donald, a physicist at Churchill College in Cambridge, where the archive is located, said:
"Purdy's case is really hard not to look at as a product of sexism, and the situation is further exacerbated by the fact that Purdy was a trained nurse, not an academic scientist."
The winner Takes It All
Self-confidence, that famous term that everyone likes to talk about. The most expensive courses are held on self-confidence, professional textbooks are written, and the authors refer to the thesis that self-confidence is the key to business success. Authenticity, the original or primordial self that is skillfully presented through its own ideas, thoughts, words and deeds and shares its best version of itself with the environment. Self-awareness of one's own virtues and qualities is very important for these very good sides to crystallize and float out. We need to work and grind on each of them to become diamonds in a beautiful necklace of our best virtues.
Of the myriad nuances that make us who we are, the good news is that all of our character-related flaws can be fixed. Over and over again.
Self-confidence is worked on all one's life, it must never stop. Life often puts us to great trials and tests that test how confident we are in ourselves. We are red under the skin and there is also insecurity, shame, fear, embarrassment, repression, silence, maladaptation.
We need to overcome all these obstacles with a lot of difficult circumstances and people who are unfortunately not so well-meaning. Who are envious of our potential and talent.
Deep Web..... a place that even Google can't find....
Did you know that nowadays, **48%** of people worldwide use the Internet, and all these people together use less than **10%** of the Internet's capacity?
The **Deep Web** is a part of the Internet that cannot be found through ordinary browsers and their browsers. We use sites and various social networks like Instagram, Facebook, Popcorn every day, not knowing that it is just the tip of the iceberg that hides in the depths of the Internet. Given that we have already learned that we cannot find the Deep Web through Google, Yahoo, Bing, how can we find that Deep Web and what is incredibly hidden there ?!
**Tor** (The onion router), is free software that allows anonymous communication. Tor as a special software was made for the military needs of the American army in order to protect the exchange of information between military bases, so that after a few years it would become available to the public. Tor differs from other browsers in that it has the ability to access addresses with an onion domain. It allows access to the Deep Web as well as searching for various invisible or non-indexed addresses.
The Deep Web contains databases of various companies, their financial information, unpublished medical research and a wealth of other information. Deep Web was intentionally kept hidden or not indexed in order to prevent information leakage from various databases contained in it.
However, there is something more interesting than the Deep Web itself, and that is the Dark Web.
The **Dark Web** is a part of the Deep Web that is extremely difficult to access. The reason for this is to prevent stray users from going to places that are not safe or legal to use. On the Dark Web itself, it is possible to find everything from greenpeace (environmental) organizations to markets where drugs, weapons, fake documents and so on are sold.
Also, many news agencies use hidden boxes on the Dark Web to securely exchange correspondence from around the world. The dark web is considered by some people to be a haven of democracy without any political or social pressures that provide users with protection from mass surveillance, dictatorship or surveillance.
Surfing these parts of the Internet is not completely safe and is not recommended because it hides the largest number of hackers who can harm you, so you enter these areas at your own risk.
The shipwreck was "shown" to the mainland, Saint Lucia.
States mostly owe their names to tribes, ethnic groups, but also to some characteristics of the country, geographical position ...
Only about 25 countries were named after an important person, and on that short list there is only one country that owes its name to a woman - a saint!
Saint Lucia, sometimes called Santa Lucia, is a small island nation in the Caribbean, in Central America. It is located on the border between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It covers an area of 617 km2 and is home to just over 165,000 inhabitants.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZMf5oDwsWo
It was a British colony, and gained independence on February 22, 1979. Today she is a member of the British Commonwealth and Francophonie.
This country was named after a Roman Catholic saint - Saint Lucia of Syracuse, and there is an interesting legend about how it came about. Namely, before the arrival of the Europeans, the local tribes that inhabited the island called their country Jouanalao.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trmEq3e04a4
And then came the Europeans - the French. According to tradition, that happened on December 13, when, according to the Gregorian calendar, the feast of St. Lucia is celebrated.
Namely, it was about shipwrecked people floating in the ocean with no hope of salvation when, on December 13, 1502, they finally saw the land. They attributed their rescue from the clutches of certain death in the depths of the sea to the saint and named the land on which they landed after her.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL5BPkRo4FU
The island first fell under French rule, but the British soon arrived. The two countries have clashed over Santa Lucia as many as 14 times. The British finally prevailed in 1814 and held the island under their rule for the next 165 years.
However, the name remained, and in the meantime, December 13 was turned into the most important national holiday on the island, and that is how it is still celebrated today.
Princess Diana, the queen of hearts, whom the English did not get over even after 23 years
If her driver had chosen the second time on August 31, 1997, the People's Princess, as the then English Prime Minister Tony Blair called her, would probably be alive today. However, her life had a different fate, so she ended up in a Paris hospital four hours after her Mercedes, in which she was with her fiancé Dodi al Fayed, crashed into the wall of the death tunnel due to the high speed at which he was driving.
Lady Diana Spencer was born in Park House, Norfolk, to a little-known Earl family in 1961. She was born married to Earl John Spencer and Baroness Francis Burke Roche, and had two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, as well as a younger brother, Charles. Her father was the chief groom of Elizabeth II, but also a descendant of the eighth generation of counts. Her parents divorced when she was only seven years old, due to her mother's affair with a married man.
The divorce had a more than bad effect on Diana's upbringing, which took place on her father's estate, although she often visited her mother, who remarried soon after the divorce. When she was 16, she left high school, but after a year-long break, she finished it in Switzerland.
Prince Charles, when they were already forcing him to marry in that period in order for the crown to secure an heir, was in his thirties when he met Diana. They got engaged on February 6, 1981, but this news was officially announced on February 24, and they got married on July 29, 1981 in St. Paul's Cathedral in London.
On June 21, 1982, Diana gave birth to her first son, the second heir to the crown, Prince William. Diana soon fell into postpartum depression and tried to kill herself by throwing herself down the stairs. One of the attempts to save the marriage was the birth of another son, Harry, who saw the light of day in September 1984. But, the princess then discovered that she was suffering from bulimia, which, as she later realized, had been following her since the engagement. The cause of bulimia, as Diana stated, was Prince Charles, who convinced his then fiancée that she was gaining a lot of weight.
Since the birth of Harry, Lady Diana and Prince Charles have not shared a bed, and their sex life has been limited.
What the public didn't know before their wedding was that Diana and Charles had seen each other only thirteen times before marriage, and in an interview shown only after her death, Diana revealed that he had seen his ex-girlfriend Camille Parker-Bowles before the wedding.
"Before we got married, he saw his lady three times a week," Diana said, alluding to Camilla, but she also recalled the interviews they gave after the engagement, which instilled a grain of doubt in her mind:
- During the engagement, a reporter asked us if we were in love. I replied: Of course, and Charles added: Whatever infatuation means. It completely destroyed me - said the princess who thought that in time it would melt the heart of Prince Charles. He, on the other hand, was very upset that his chosen one had become a media favorite and the number one target for persistent paparazzi.
At a 1986 polo match, Princess Diana met the great playboy Emad Dodi al-Fayed, the son of billionaire Muhammad al-Fayed and owner of the famous department store Harrod’s. Their romance began almost ten years later, when Diana divorced Charles.
On Sunday, August 31, 1997, half an hour after midnight, Princess Diana and Dodi al-Fayed, after dinner at the Ritz Hotel, set off on their last trip in a hotel Mercedes. Driver Henry Paul and Dodi were killed on the spot in a crash on the wall of the Alma tunnel along the Seine, and Diana died four hours later in the hospital. Only Dodi's bodyguard, Trevor Reese Jones, survived.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o9rLDCfO6o&feature=emb_logo
At four o'clock in the morning in the Paris hospital La Pitie Salpetriere, Dr. Bruno Rionge announced that Diana passed away due to the consequences of internal bleeding caused by severe injuries to the chest, lungs and head. The question of the cause of the accident has not been resolved, and probably never will be.
**Everything is covered with a veil of secrecy.**
Anna Karenina ... magic that lasts forever
Wanting to create a novel about marriage and family, but also about adultery, the moral stumbling block of individuals and society as a whole, Tolstoy wrote "Anna Karenina". He presented all these important topics following the strong but tragic character of a woman. Although the novel begins with the famous words that "all happy families look like each other, every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way", we can also paraphrase them and say that all happy women look like each other, and every unhappy woman is unhappy in her own way .
It came out of the pen of one of the best Russian writers, Leo Tolstoy, and became the greatest heroine of famous Russian literature - Anna Karenina. She is one of the symbols of her country, but also a heroine whose tragic fate has amazed the whole world.
At the beginning of the novel, Ana Karenina looks like a happy woman. She is realized as a wife and mother, educated and intelligent, and at the same time a beautiful lady with sophisticated manners and incredible charisma. Because of that, Ana enjoys the reputation and admiration of high circles of Russian society, to which she herself belongs. When the road takes her to Moscow, to reconcile her brother and daughter in law whose marriage fell into crisis, her life changes radically. Already at the train station, he meets a young officer, Count Vronsky, and wins his heart forever with one glance. When Kitty watches an untried fiancé at the ball on the occasion of her 18th birthday, playing with Ana all evening, she envies her, but also admires her, thinking: "yes, there is something terrible, demonic, and at the same time fabulous in her."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxtsC_LZ9eI
Although he initially rejects him, Vronsky awakens in Anna a long-suppressed passion and desire for love. Violating all moral norms, she completely surrenders to him and becomes his mistress. But the price she pays for following her heart is too high. She is deprived of the opportunity to see her son when she was extremely attached, and the company puts her on a pillar of shame. Alone and rejected by all, Ana sinks into the dark world of her personality. Wanting to escape from everything, Ana sees only one way out, and that is death. She ended her tragic life where her great love began. At the train station, Ana ended her agony by throwing herself under a train.
There are speculations that the writer found the inspiration for the character of his famous heroine in part in Maria Hartung, the older daughter of the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. When he met at a ball in Tula, Tolstoy was amazed by her beauty, charm and education. Thus, the most beautiful part of Ana's personality is actually "borrowed" from the beautiful Pushkin's daughter. The fate of another woman is involved in the creation of the character of Ana Karenina. It is about her namesake Ana Pirigova who threw herself under the train because of unhappy love at the local train station. This shocking act, quite by accident, was attended by the writer himself, and he found the idea for the end of the life story of his unfortunate heroine.
However, it is certain that Anna is also an autobiographical character of Tolstoy himself, who expressed the darker side of his personality in her. Tolstoy himself committed adultery and because of that he was tormented by feelings of guilt and remorse. Ana's tragic end is in fact an act of redemption for personal sin.
Maybe Tolstoy "killed" his Anna, but one thing is for sure - when he created her character, he gave her magic that does not stop lasting.
The rule of the planets by days of the week..

There are various teachings that explain when it is convenient to do something or not to do something on a certain day, there is also a symbolism of interpretation that is related to the possibilities that exist for each day individually.
Monday: nothing important should start, because it is the day of the Moon that is believed to be very changeable and that everything that starts during it is of "changeable" quality (as is the changeable mood of women). By the way, it is favorable for all persons to fast on Monday, for whom the Moon is under bad aspects in the natal chart. The color that reigns on this day is white or silver.

Whitney Houston, from an African-American diva to a tragic downturn.
Whitney Houston went to her death from the top of the world because of drugs, and she took her secret love with a woman to the grave.
American singer with the angelic voice Whitney Houston passed away on February 11, 2012, at the age of 50.
According to data from the Guinness Book of Records, Whitney was the female performer with the most awards. Her list of awards includes 415 awards, including 2 Emmy Awards, 6 Grammys, 30 Billboard Music Awards and 22 American Music Awards. Houston was also one of the best-selling singers, selling more than 200 million albums and singles worldwide.
Until 1992, Whitney was at the top of the world in terms of her music career, but her private life began to spiral out of control from that moment.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsfj9j0kjoU
That year, the singer fell madly in love and married R&B singer Bobby Brown. At the beginning, they enjoyed marriage, love and passion, but very quickly, their relationship changed due to the uncontrolled use of drugs, which became the center of their world. Quarrels, fights, inappropriate behavior of the spouses, the law enforcement agencies had to solve countless times. Whitney reported him to the police several times, claiming he had beaten her.
She would later dismiss the lawsuits and return to him, claiming that she could not live without him. It was only in 2010, in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, that she publicly admitted that Brown had beaten her, which is why she filed a lawsuit against him in 1993.
Whitney gave birth to a baby girl, Bobby Christina, on March 3, 1993. In late 1999 and early 2000, Whitney and Bobby's marriage was the subject of tabloids, which constantly wrote about drugs and their health problems. Several canceled concerts and debacles led to Whitney calming down for a few months and hiding from the public eye.
Her first appearance was with the famous host Diane Sawyer in 2002, where Whitney appeared apparently under the influence of drugs and in a very bad release. It was speculated that she suffered a nervous breakdown.
In 2004, Brown began filming a riva show for "Bravo" television called "Being Bobby Brown," in which Whitney also appeared. The show showed the public the worst years of marriage, drug addiction, bad behavior, and all together it had a very bad effect on her image and career, which was starting to decline.

For the next few years, Whitney tried to save her marriage and recover from her addiction. She did not succeed, until her mother Sisi appeared and ordered her to completely withdraw from the public and dedicate herself, of course with her support. Whitney obeyed her, took a break from her career and divorced Bobby in 2007, she received custody of their only daughter Bobby Christina Houston Brown in court.
After a decade of torture, Whitney began to look like her old self again. She released a new album "I Look at You," in 2009. The album was well received, both by musicians and fans, and climbed to the very top of the charts. Her public appearances were not so warmly welcomed, because she no longer sounded like she used to.
The songs themselves will explain to you and you will understand where I am and the changes I went through to get here - she said on one occasion.
In early 2012, rumors began circulating that Whitney had financial problems, which she soon denied. She worked diligently on one musical, she was offered a position as a judge on the popular show "X Factor". Unfortunately, Whitney did not live to see her return.
She died at the age of 50, on February 11, 2012, at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, where the Grammy Awards ceremony to which she was invited took place. Whitney had been seen a few days before that at a party held before the Grammys.

She last performed publicly the day before, when she completely unplannedly took the stage during a party on the occasion of the upcoming Grammy Awards and sang a part of the song "Yes Jesus Loves Me".
Police closed the case with the explanation that the singer died in the bathtub, by accidentally drowning. Later, an autopsy showed that the singer had an overdose of narcotics and drugs in her blood.

Whitney Houston had a more than successful career during her life. She has released six studio albums featuring hits such as: "I'm Every Woman", "I Will Always Love You", "All The Man That I Need", "I'm Your Baby Tonight" ... .
Maria Callas, Greek Diva of the Broken Heart
Maria Callas, Greek opera diva. A woman from four homelands, Greece by origin, the United States by birth, Italy where she spent the most successful years of her career and France, where she spent the last years of her life. With a gorgeous voice and explosive temperament, she is certainly one of the women who marked the 20th century.
Maria Sofia Ana Cecilia Calogeropoulou, was the full name of the diva who changed the opera. She was born in New York, on December 2, 1923, as the third child in the family. Like most Greeks of the time, her parents, George and the Gospel, came to America in search of a better life.
Although she was born in New York, the opera diva Maria Callas was returned by fate to Greece as a child, the country of her orders, where she found not only the right path to world fame, but also a fatal love that cost her a lot.
The most famous opera diva of all time, Maria Callas, seems to have lived, among other things, to prove the accuracy of the folk saying that all true loves are sad. A woman of both divine and demonic voice, impeccable beauty and striking insecurity, loved only the wrong man once. The temperamental Greek woman who shone on opera stages around the world in the middle of the last century, evoking the characters of Madame Butterfly, Tosca, Norma, Carmen, was actually just a frightened girl eager for sincere hugs and love.
The first meeting with Onassis happened in 1959. Although she was married, she fell desperately in love with a Greek millionaire. Despite his rudeness and arrogance, Callas left Batista while Onassis, on the other hand, had no plans to leave his wife and family. He saw Maria Callas as something transient, as someone who would call whenever he had free time.
The relationship with Onassis also influenced her career. She was enchanted by a glamorous life full of everything, luxury and fun. Both the directors and the audience noticed that her technique had weakened, that she was not as disciplined as before, and they started turning their backs on her. She blindly believed that Onassis would be by her side during difficult times, that she would not dare to leave her. She was wrong. She saw the chance to marry a man when she was the only one she loved in her life in an unplanned pregnancy. However, Onassis made it clear that he had enough children and did not want more. Disappointed but still blindly in love, she did not break off the relationship with him. She gave birth to a male child who lived only a few hours. The loss of the child left consequences on the psyche of the opera diva.
Passionately in love with Onassis, she renounces American citizenship and takes Greek, all in the hope that she will persuade Aris (as she called him) to put a ring on her hand. She thinned out her performances and spent time waiting for him. While she was dreaming of marrying him, he had already set himself another goal. The widow of the American president, Jackie Kennedy. Although he married the most desirable widow, Onassis occasionally visited Maria. When she realized that he had not stopped loving her, she eagerly awaited his every visit. She remained faithful to him until the last day. In Paris, on March 15, 1975, Onassis died in hospital. On his deathbed next to him is Maria Callas, to whom he addressed the last words, "I loved you as I could. It may not have been the best, but "I loved you."
Onassis' death totally beat the diva. She locked herself in an apartment in Paris mourning her lost love. She died alone, on September 16, 1977. She left behind millions of fans and one sad love story.
Gordon Shamway....ALF.

This is a series that marked my youth. There was no way I was going to miss an episode. When the series starts, everything around me stops. I remember forcing my mother to buy me an Alpha toy. He had the answer for everything, he always made some mischief, and the best one for me was when he telephoned with his aliens ... It's always someone else's fault when he breaks something or does something wrong.
Alf is the law, the whole door was covered with pictures of him.
What a good series we watched..ex.

Alcatraz - Famous Ghost Prison (Haunted Prison)
Alcatraz is the most famous prison in the world. It has existed for about 30 years, and in its cells lay the most notorious American criminals of all time. The area of the island on which the prison was located is 90,000 square meters, the prison was abolished in 1963, and since then, it has been an unavoidable tourist destination.
One of the first prisoners was Al Capone. He was arrested in 1931 for tax evasion. He was forbidden any contact with people from the outside world in prison. He played banjo in a prison band. He had syphilis and was sent to the hospital for home treatment. He died in 1947. Another name for Al Capone in prison was Prisoner No. 85.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZqThttBpU0
There is no evidence that anyone managed to escape from Alcatraz. There were 36 attempts, of which 23 were initially thwarted, 6 people were killed and two were drowned. The first escape, ie. an attempt to escape occurred on April 27, 1936. After one of the escape attempts, the famous film Escape from Alcatraz was made, with Clint Eastwood.
Robert Straud, known as the Birdman of Alcatraz, spent his time in Orvenology during his stay in Levenworth Prison. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison for the murder of a bartender and the assault of a prostitute, and otherwise he was a pimp from Alaska. He was sentenced to be hanged in prison for killing a guard, but was pardoned and sentenced to life in prison in Alcatraz. The film Birdman of Alcatraz was made about him in 1962, and his character was played by the American actor Bert Lancaster.
After Alcatraz was closed, only five years later, a group of 100 Indians, who occupied the island, wanted to buy it for $ 24, and founded a college.
Since 1980, a sports event has been held in San Francisco, which brings together competitors from all over the world. The triathlon, called Escape from Alcatraz, consists of three disciplines (swimming, cycling and running).
Alcatraz never filled all the places destined for prisoners, the average number of prisoners was 260.
Alcatraz's first warden, James Johnson, was aware that there were riots in the prison due to poor nutrition. He gave the prisoners to eat as many portions as they wanted. Also, the prisoners had a library at their disposal and could watch movies.
The managers of Alcatraz thought that swimming in cold water, carried by strong currents, was simply not feasible, but for years one of the prisoners managed to swim across the bay, but the police caught him exhausted on the shore.
Alcatraz is considered to be haunted. There was an Indian cemetery. After being released from prison, many inmates went insane and claimed to have seen strange things in prison, such as red eyes. The entire D-block was considered paranormal, and as many as 42 were considered haunted cells.

It is one of America's most enduring mysteries, troubling investigators for decades and inspiring Hollywood cinema.
Now a letter has emerged which appears to shed light on the fate of three prisoners who escaped from **Alcatraz** in 1962.
Authorities have never determined whether brothers John and Clarence Anglin and fellow inmate Frank Morris survived the daring jail break.
The F.B.I closed its case in 1979, concluding the men were unlikely to have survived the 1.5-mile journey across San Francisco Bay’s frigid waters from the island prison to the mainland.
