The process of mummification in the ancient Egyptians.
When Egypt is mentioned, the first association is the pyramids and the pharaohs. The pharaohs were considered gods in ancient Egypt. In order to preserve their bodies, mummifications were performed.
Mummification is one of the most famous ways of burial and was most widespread in Ancient Egypt, although it has been noted that some other peoples performed body preservation in this way after death. Egyptian undertakers applied different methods of mummification in different periods, and we will mention here the classic method applied to Tutankhamun.
Shortly after death, the body of the deceased is taken to the undertaker, where it is removed and placed on a table, and then washed in a sleeping solution that serves as both soap and preservative. This is followed by the removal of the organs, which are placed in special vessels and buried later with the deceased. The body was then placed in sodium carbonate where it was spent for 40 days until it was completely dry, and then it was thus dehydrated washed and smeared with balms that prevented decomposition.
The last step of preserving the body was wrapping it in a cloth, which was a rather complicated process. The undertaker used various pillows, bandages, a large cloth and the like in order to restore the deceased to his previous shape, since the body was completely dried. A mask with a human face is finally placed on the mummy wrapped in this way and it is lowered into the sarcophagus. It is interesting to mention that the heart of the deceased always remained in the body because it was believed that after death he puts his heart on the scales before the divine court which decides whether he is just and worthy of eternal life. As a counterweight to the heart on the scales is Maat, the Egyptian goddess of justice, truth and cosmic order, who in this case is represented as a feather. If the feather prevails, the deceased does not get access to the afterlife.
Natural Girls: An Endangered Species!
For all those who, in a time of perverted values, remained the same and thus became different…
I mentioned only some of them that I remembered at first and that inspired me the most to write this… but I would mention many more and dedicate it to all my dear friends and acquaintances…
In the hope that one day our children will become different just like that…
They don’t always wear heels, they wear high heels, they don’t wear old ones because it’s fashionable, but because they did it back as kids.
They don't write messages and e-mails, they also type a letter when they type.
If they get tattooed, they do it because it’s personal, not because it raises the price.
If they cry, they cry with a black and white movie, not with a Reality show…
They do not dictate the phone number, they print it on the palm of your hand…
They, when they wander off, do not bite the cuticles around the artificial claws, they bite the tip of the pen, they do not laugh through their teeth, they laugh out loud, because a sincere natural smile is priceless.
They do not show the middle finger, they wink and the message remains the same.They take off their shoes and walk through their city barefoot because they are happy, not because they are drunk.
When they go to the river, they wear bathing suits, not artificial eyelashes, and they prefer to have the tip of their nose burned under a hat in the sun, rather than their buttocks under a lamp.
They do not wear powder and warrior face paint on the beach, but pencils for drawing on pebbles and writing postcards.
They, instead of turning on the air conditioning in the car, always open all the windows first and shake the hair.
When they want to be attractive, instead of a T-shirt and a mini skirt, they wear a white men's shirt.They relax with the crackling of ice cubes and old plates, when they hear the trumpet they think of jazz…They don't visit the theater or just visit it, they keep coming back to it.They always dream in color, so strongly and really that dreams come true in a dream.They make love by touch.They do not fantasize about miracles, they create and live miracles.
They are different because they have always remained the same.
A bird of paradise, an unreal beautiful bird.
I just wonder, is it possible that something so beautiful exists? How many more beautiful animals are there on this planet. I will now introduce you to the Bird of Paradise.
Due to its feathers of gorgeous colors, it is also known as a divine bird. It lives in the forested areas of the island of Arui, in southwestern New Guinea. Her Latin name translates to the somewhat sad name "footless", which she received in order to perpetuate an old fairy tale about birds that spend their whole lives in the air and do not need legs.
The body length of an adult male is 45 cm, while the length of a female is 35 centimeters. The wings are 24 cm long, and the tail is 18. The upper part of the head, temples, back and upper parts of the neck are dark yellow, forehead, both sides of the head, earlobe, chin and throat are dark golden green, bridles greenish-black, and other parts of the body, wings and tail dark cement brown. This color turns blackish-brown in the area of the wolf. The long ornate feathers on both sides of the chest are bright orange-yellow and eventually become dull pale.
The shorter stiff feathers are dark chestnut to brown-black in the middle of the root. The eyelids are sulfur-yellow, the beak is greenish-gray-blue, and the legs are fleshy-brown. The female is more modestly colored. It is brownish-pale gray on the upper side, grayish-purple on the throat, and dull yellow on the abdomen. They feed on fruits, seeds and small insects. **This species is listed as endangered in the International Red Book.**
The seats in airplanes are blue for two good reasons.
If you think that the seats in airplanes are blue just because they resemble the sky, then you are wrong. This color is ideal not only for long-term use, but also for our psyche.
The seats are almost always blue, and all other colors are an exception and usually refer to smaller, private planes. Some assume that this color was chosen because it reminds us of the sky.
The first blue seats began to be used a few decades ago, and now all airlines are choosing upholstery of this color. Most people associate blue with reliability and safety, which is very important even for passengers who suffer from aerophobia, or fear of flying an airplane. Researching a bit on the Internet, I came to the conclusion that most people make a decision about the seriousness of a company based on the color of the logo or something else related to that company, and in this case it is the airline.
There is a practical reason why airlines choose blue seats - dirt, stains and scratches are less visible on this color, so these seats can be used for much longer than some in another color.
As for the material, the seats are upholstered in artificial leather or fabric. In airplanes used for long-haul flights such as transatlantic, the seats are upholstered in fabric because it allows the skin to breathe, so passengers will not sweat or feel discomfort.
The cloth that is placed on the top and back of the seat is called an antimacasar. These are cloths used to cover furniture in the Victorian era. It got its name from the macadarin oil that men used to style their hair.
Since the part of the seat where we put our head is more dirty and greasy, it is logical that the upper part of the seat is covered with protection like this, which can be changed more often than the whole fabric - so airlines save.
Slavic goddesses of the seasons..3/4
Vesna was the goddess of spring and youth. She was one of the most beloved deities because the beginning of spring would mark the departure of winter and thus Morana, who appears as the goddess of winter and death.
Vesna brings greenery in the fields, flowering and nice weather suitable for living and working. The jet that brings joy to the homes of the Slavs. Spring was especially important for the Slavs because it beats winter and announces summer. As spring in the people symbolized the beginning of beautiful weather, when nature wakes up and blooms, gives birth and life is renewed, so Vesna got the role of the goddess of youth. Vesna also appears among the Old Slavic peoples as one of the brightest deities. In ancient Indian the word you means to be bright or light, and is at the root of Vesna’s name. It is believed that Vesna was a deity while the Slavs were in India, and before they immigrated to Europe. Vesna was a role model for all women. She was beautiful and powerful and spread intoxicating scents around her. In addition to beauty, it was also credited with power over the heat of the Sun, without which spring could not come.
Vesna was never lonely. She was always accompanied by Gerovit, the god of war and the sun, and Stribog, the god of wind and air. That the old Slavs had great respect for Vesna is shown by the fact that the Slovene women resorted to prayers and magical acts in order to drive winter, suffering and death out of their homes. Also, there was a belief that Vesna helps people and that she recovers her health damaged in winter and harmonizes nature to be harmonious, and thus strengthens the mind and heart of people. Vesna is presented as the goddess of love and harmony.
One of the holidays dedicated to Vesna was celebrated with the couple who would get married the previous year. Cakes with honey, called gingerbreads, are prepared for that occasion. However, this joyful holiday was later tied by the church to the Day of the Forty Martyrs, which is celebrated on March 23. In the rites dedicated to Vesna, the faithful would be allowed to swallow a hazel bud or a hawthorn leaf. At the time of the willow flowering, the children were adorned with willow fringes, and bells were placed around their necks. This rite is also known in Christianity as Vrbica. The eggs were painted in the spring, usually in red, which symbolizes the sun, fire and warmth, which Vesna brought with her arrival, and the eggs, together with bread and wine, would be given to the host of the house. A similar custom persisted with Christians during Easter.
Vesna was perceived by the Slavs as a beautiful young girl adorned with wreaths and in a white dress. Her hair was adorned with floral bells. In the lower part of her waist she had a large wreath of flowers. Vesna was one of the favorite deities among the South Slavs, especially among the Serbs. That is why Vesna is a name that is often given to daughters, symbolizing love, life, birth, harmony, nature and light.
Explore the history of the most important invention in the history of mankind - toilet paper
Toilet paper originated a long time ago in China, and then, after a long time, the rest of the world got to know it. It has become an inseparable part of the civilization in which we live.
It was first mentioned in China in 589 AD. In modern western countries, it came into wide use only in the second half of the 19th century.
More than 60 percent of people in the world today do not use toilet paper at all.
If we convert that percentage into the number of the world's population, it turns out that it is not used by more than four billion people. Many cannot afford it, so even today they reach for leaves or water.
Before the advent of toilet paper, people used various things to maintain personal hygiene. It was mainly leaves, grass, ferns, corn, fruit peels, shells, stones, sand, snow and water.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0OXunOPAlg
The rich Romans wiped themselves with a sponge attached to a stick that they kept in a bucket of salt water. Eventually they would refresh the crotch with rose water.
The Greeks preferred clay, shells, and sometimes they reached for coconut shells.
Wealthy Europeans practiced soaking their hands in luxurious fountains full of hot water.
Snow and moss were the most practical for the Eskimos, wool for the Vikings, and corn cobs for the Americans.
Throughout history, before toilet paper appeared in its present form, the rich wanted something finer for their skin, so they used wool, lace or hemp after going to the toilet.
In his work "Gargantua and Pantagruel", a satirical allegory about the life of two giants, Francois Rabelais, through the mouth of the protagonist, lists all possible things that are used to maintain lower back hygiene and comes to the conclusion that he is the best fluffy bird.
Toilet paper rolls were patented in 1891, and since then there has been a debate about how to properly hang them on the holder.
The average person uses a hundred rolls a year, which is about 20,000 ballots.
To ensure enough toilet paper for one person throughout his life, it is necessary to cut down 384 trees.
More than 83 million rolls are produced in the world every day.

The Chinese made the cheapest electric car.
New in the range of Chinese cars is the **Baojun E100** which is apparently a copy of the new Smart for two vehicle. This is an electric vehicle that emits **0%** of harmful gases and costs only **5326** dollars.
At first glance, the car looks pretty good and has a futuristic look that really attracts attention. The similarities with the Smart car are obvious, but there are a lot of differences that will still make you feel like you are driving another car.
**The electric motor is smaller, but it produces enough horsepower, so you can ride at a maximum speed of 110 km / h. The only problem is that it charges for a longer period of time and the battery will be fully charged after 7.5 hours.**
With a charged battery, you can cover 155 km, which is not so great, but it is satisfactory for those who live in cities and who travel shorter distances every day. Of course, this car is perfect when it comes to parking and city crowds.
**This car is currently only available in China, but I admit that we have a great desire to have this car ... If nothing else then because of the color.**
Slavic goddesses of the seasons 2/4.
In Slavic mythology, significant goddesses are associated with certain seasons and thus acquire the characteristics characteristic of that time.
Morana was the goddess of winter and death, and because of that she was not one of the favorite deities among the Old Slavic peoples. Morana represented a long and cold winter that could bring with it death in the form of hunger and unbearable cold, which could be the cause of the disease. Because of that, her arrival was always eagerly awaited, and her departure was celebrated stormy and joyful. She represents Vesna's opposite and there was a constant struggle between these two goddesses. Vesna, as the goddess of spring, unlike Morana, would be welcomed with a celebration and her arrival would emphasize the birth of nature and the end of winter. Many rituals were associated with the farewell of Morana and the winter, which the Old Slavic people did not like at all, which is understandable given the climate that this people inhabited. Most often, a doll was made of straw or reeds, which represented this goddess and which the people would beat with sticks, and later throw into the water or possibly burn. In the month of March, another ritual related to the goddess of winter was practiced. These were so-called cats made up of a masked procession of people gathered with the aim of scaring and driving away Moran.
Morana is described as a woman with dark hair and a frightening appearance, and an identical description is associated with another mythical creature of a similar nature - the Plague, which most likely represents only one aspect of Morana, just as Mora represents - a female demon attacking people sitting at night. on the chest and cause nightmares.
There are also several myths associated with this goddess that connect her with other gods of the Old Slavonic pantheon. According to one of these myths, the sun god Dažbog went to the underground world called Nav by the Slavs, to look for his wife Zlata Maja, but there he met Morana who seduced him. After a while, she got bored of Dažbog and after she found another lover - Crnobog, Morana decided to poison Dažbog. However, Živa saves him, after which Dažbog burns Morana and persecutes her in Nav. This myth explains the movement of the sun and the sequence of the seasons. According to another myth, Morana is associated with the god Water, who appears as her spouse. Voden, like Moran, and Moran drown people in dark waters, which is why the Slavs very often tried to appease them and appease them with sacrificial offers. As a water deity, Morana also appears as Modruna, a witch who, according to the Slavs who lives in the vicinity of the Urals, lives in ponds and usually appears as an ugly grandmother, but to one who does not show fear in front of her appears as a young and beautiful girl in a white dress. .
Although seemingly Morana takes on the characteristics of a negative deity, she is not. That difference between absolute good and evil came only with the advent of Christianity. There is no such thing in the pagan belief, and the appearance of Morana and the fear she caused is just an example that the old Slavs paid significant attention to what did not bring them good.
Slavic goddesses of the seasons. 1 / 4
Among the ancient Slavs, weather conditions were extremely important. Their health, way of life, quality of crops and health of cattle would depend on the favorable weather conditions. Thus, winter, taking into account the geographical position of the place inhabited by Slavs, would symbolize a difficult period of life for which they had to prepare during other seasons to survive, while spring was a more beautiful time when nature wakes up and brings warmth and cheerful spirit in homes. Every season, with the Slavs, would be associated with the rule of one of the goddesses. Each of these goddesses had special characteristics that were related to the characteristics of the seasons that they rule. The deities of the seasons have a female form precisely because they symbolize fertility, nature, love, beauty and life. The ancient Slavs worshiped goddesses as much as male gods, and some of them, such as Mother Wet Earth was on a par with Svarog, Perun and other higher deities in importance. The goddesses of the seasons in our ancestors are **Živa** (goddess of autumn), **Morana** (goddess of winter), **Vesna** (goddess of spring) and **Lada** (goddess of summer).
Živa ( ALIVE), or Gray, is the goddess of fertility. The name alone tells her that she is a goddess who gives life. She is one of the most famous goddesses of the Old Slavic pantheon, and that notion of motherhood in this goddess was significantly more impressive than, for example. by Vesna or Lada. One of her names, Zizileja represents Ziva as a protector of children, ie a goddess who takes care of children and watches over their destiny.
Based on her physical appearance, we will see that she is a typical fertility deity. Her hair is blonde, the color of wheat ears, she holds an apple in one hand and strawberries in the other.
Also, Živa is very often portrayed as a pregnant young girl with golden hair given to her by Svetovid so that evil spirits would not burn her. Živa represents the earth, which at the time of fertility is covered with the gold of the kernel of grain, while at the barren season it is left without its "golden hair". In Belarus, it was once believed that Živa was pregnant during the summer, which is why it was forbidden to drive blades into the ground so that this goddess would not be injured. There was a ritual where men placed carved statues with the image of Živa in the fields, in order to approve of her fertility. A tribute was offered to her for the same purpose, usually in flowers and fruits. It is also recorded that the Living Rooster was sacrificed, known as a symbol of fertility and the sun.
The autumn season was associated with this goddess. If we tie Vesna to spring, Lada to summer, and Morana to winter, we get all four phases of the goddess-Earth, who through her four divine characters goes through the annual cycle of fertility. However, although each goddess was associated with a particular time of year, they were celebrated even when their age was not. Živa was most respected in the territory around the river Elbe, that is, among the Polap Slavs. The tribe of Ljutić wore the image of this goddess on their warrior flag. Titmar noticed that the Ljutićs lost the flag with the image of Živa crossing the swollen river Milda. Louis Leger mentions her as the deity of Obotrid, but there is doubt about the authenticity of her cult, since Ziva is mentioned in the writings of Mater Verborum, which later turned out to be false. Among the South Slavs, the words deva or baba appear through toponyms and are associated with Živa.
This is the house where Michael Jackson's youngest son lives.
Michael Jackson passed away in 2009, but he is still one of the most popular music icons and stars. He is one of the few who still earns millions even though he is dead, which only shows how much he was loved and popular.
The youngest son of the famous king of pop recently turned 18 and celebrated his coming of age, and on that occasion, this young man decided to share a beautiful villa in Calabas, California. Having inherited great wealth from his father, young Jackson bought himself a house worth 2.62 million dollars, which comes with a huge area, beautifully decorated rooms, a yard and a garden that make an incredible paradise oasis.
Within the house there are swimming pools, sauna and gym as well as two massive garages that provide parking for expensive cars. Blenket boasted of his new home and showed parts of his new home.
Blanket says that he misses his father a lot and that he missed him a lot, but that he managed to grow into a man that Jackson would surely be proud of.
“Femme Fatale”. Who was the real Mata Hari?
It has been a century since the firing squad executed Mata Hari after she was convicted of spying for Germany. The first biography of her was published in 1917, just a few weeks after her death. Since then, she has been the subject of 250 biographies and novels, and films and series have been made about her, the most famous being the 1931 version starring Greta Garbo.
She was a creation from the beginning to the very end, a character in the play for whom she wrote scripts again and again ”. Mata Hari “Femme Fatale”. Her need to spin stories about her past helped her become an icon, a unique embodiment of sex, glamor, intrigue and danger. But that is exactly what led to her death at the age of 41.
The need for such behavior by Margaret Geertruid Zelle was inherited from her father, Adam Zell, the owner of a hat shop in the Dutch city of Leeuwardne who adored his nickname Baron. Adam encouraged his daughter Margaret to attract attention as he does. He spoiled her, but her childhood was abruptly interrupted in her early teens when her parents divorced and her mother died. Margaretha lived with relatives and enrolled in teacher training college. However, due to rumors that she had an affair with the director, she was expelled from the faculty, and he remained at his job.
She desperately needed money and prestige, so Margaretha responded to an ad in the Lonely Hearts column posted by soldier Rudolf MacLeod, 39, on leave. Margaretha, then eighteen, met Rudolf at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam in 1895. Six days later the two of them announced that they were engaged. In 1902, Margaretha and Rudolf divorced. Nona's custody went to Margaretha, but since she had no money, she had to leave it with her ex-husband.
After the divorce Margaretha moved to Paris and worked as an art model and in a circus. Then a friend suggested she try dancing in the saloon in front of rich people who appreciated art. Her other friend came up with the name Mata Hari, which in Malay means "around the day", "the rising sun" or "dawn" - and it finally dawned on her then. She became a sensation by dancing, discarding one by one the veil she wore and remaining completely naked except for the ornament on her head and the armor on her chest that were surrounded by jewels. She claimed to perform an authentic Javanese dance from the temple so the audience was persuaded not to pay to watch the striptease, but to see a snippet of a religious ritual from the mysterious East.
The beauty from Paris traveled through Berlin, Vienna, Monte Carlo and Milan. She never lacked a lover from high society, they were always there to allow her to maintain the lifestyle she was used to. When the war broke out, it did not seem completely illogical that the German consul in Amsterdam offered her 20,000 francs to steal French secrets. However, she spoke several languages, traveled around Europe and slept with numerous officers, politicians, aristocrats and industrialists. There was no better person than her to hear what they were saying behind closed doors.
Georges Ladoux
Georges Ladoux, head of the French Counter-Spy Bureau, suggested that Mata Hari spy for France and she agreed, not mentioning that she had already accepted a similar offer from their enemy. Either she was brilliantly cunning or stupidly naive. Most people who have studied her life claim that she was naive. She didn't realize that the stakes would be higher when she started playing the role of a spy. The war was not a game and a performance as she thought.
In February 1917, she was arrested on charges of being a double agent. The French authorities had almost no evidence, but the country's losses in the war were so great that someone had to be blamed for national morale. Prosecutor Pierre Bouchardon did not focus on what she did, but on her character - she was liberal, debauched, known in the world and prone to twisting her own past. All this made her famous in peacetime, but in war it was enough to condemn her for it.
Beer, that golden nectar.
Beer production is one of the oldest human crafts. Clay tiles, preserved from the period of ancient Babylon, made 8,000 years ago (and these are also the oldest clay tiles), describe the process of making beer.
Brewing in Babylon has been perfected to such an extent that the Babylonians, as far back as 4,000 BC, prepared 16 types of beer. Beer is made from boiled barley to which hops are added. Different types of beer, or beer-like drinks, were produced in different parts of the world. In China, 2,300 BC, a drink similar to beer was made, which was called beak. The natives of South America, the Inca people, prepared drinks called beets and sora from boiled grain long before the Europeans discovered that continent.
In ancient Egypt, beer was an important part of the daily diet. Around 3,000 BC, the Egyptians already made three types of beer. The wage that Pharaoh paid to the peasant and the worker was four large loaves of bread and two pitchers of beer. There are old records showing that mothers in ancient Egypt used to bring beer to their sons to school. One Egyptian ruler, Ramses IX, claimed to have given 466,303 pitchers of beer to the gods.
From the records that have been preserved to this day, we can reliably claim that all the ancient peoples, who lived in climates where cereals could be grown, knew about some kind of beer. The ancient Greeks and Romans also knew about beer.
FOUR BASIC INGREDIENTS IN BEER
While many elements can be added depending on the beer series, the beer base is made from these four basic ingredients:
Water (H2O makes up 90% of beer content)
Barley (this is the recommended grain for beer, but there are other types)
Hops (affects the taste and aroma of beer)
Yeast (fundamental in the fermentation process, its main purpose in beer is to make alcohol)
Beer belongs to the group of low-alcohol drinks, which contains between 3 and 13% alcohol. Today, a huge number of types of this drink are known. The largest producers in the world are Germany, Great Britain, the USA, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Ireland… Various events dedicated to him are held around the world.
The biggest and most important is certainly "Oktobarfest", in Munich. In our country, there are two events dedicated to this liquid, namely "Bear Fest" in Belgrade and "Beer Days" in our city, which are also the oldest event in Serbia. The name beer comes from the IV century.
The content of protein and vitamin B in beer is higher than in wine. That is why you will get more protein with beer than if you drink a glass of wine. That is why one mug of beer a day is allowed.
This is currently the smartest man in the world.
That most powerful human organ - the brain, is mysterious even today, when medicine and science have advanced so much. Some people are simply smarter than others. Why? It's hard to explain, because how the brain works is still not entirely clear, and this is the smartest person in the world at the moment in terms of IQ.
Terrain Tao (IQ = 230)
Mathematician Terence Tao learned to read and count by the age of two, allegedly watching the children's show "Sesame Street". Born in 1975 in Australia, he quickly showed extraordinary mathematical talent. In other school subjects, he parried his peers, but attended a special math program and skipped several grades. Already at the age of fourteen he became a full-time student. Colleagues call him a rock star, and sometimes a Mozart mathematician.
After completing his master's studies, he moved to the United States, where he received his doctorate from Princeton at the age of twenty-one, and at the age of twenty-four he became a full professor at the University of California, the youngest in the history of this institution. He achieved significant results in at least five different mathematical fields. For him, the traditional boundaries between different mathematical fields have disappeared, older mathematicians claim.
He was awarded the Fields Medal in 2006, which is equal to the Nobel Prize in the world of mathematics, for "contributions to partial differential equations, combinatorics, harmonic analysis and additive number theory". It is the youngest winner in the last thirty years.
To date, Tao has collaborated with about seventy mathematicians, published seventeen books and close to three hundred papers. For years, he has been running a mathematics blog where he publishes news about his work, the success of colleagues, but also expands mathematical communication.
Football, the master of the planet Earth, is a game that has conquered the world.
Football, that most important side thing in the world for most men.
And do you know how and where this game originated ...
You don't know, so here's a couple to say about it.
The first written documents about ball games date back to the Hou dynasty, which ruled until 225 BC. These documents preserve the story of the game of Cun-Kih which, loosely translated, would mean: kicking a ball.
This game was played only by Chinese soldiers in a rectangular area with two pierced reeds as tripods. The ball was egg-shaped, filled with feathers and fur. Between 32 and the sixth year p.n.e. according to the records of Emperor Sheng Ti, due to the great popularity of the game and the people were allowed to shoot the ball unhindered in their free time.
This game was also liked by the Japanese who transferred it to their islands in the seventh century. There, in his free time, the emperor's soldiers played it on big festivals in front of the emperor and the nobleman.
In Europe, the ball was played from the 12th to the 14th century on folk festivals with the blessing of all those who prescribed the way of life at that time. It was a time when many things were forbidden, fortunately, playing ball was not. However, in 1349 in England, by the decision of King Edward III, the game of ball was banned, and a similar feature was brought twenty years later by the French King Charles V. He forbade his subjects to "ball", because in his opinion this game occupied so much the people to distract him from useful things.
In Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, a kind of football called the Florentine calcio was played from the 14th to the 16th century. It started as a game in the open space, and soon moved to fenced yards with stands for spectators. Football in the Apennines is still called today
"kalcho".
You think that's all, but it's not, there's more.
We have a record from North America from 1634, and it says that the Indians from Massachusetts kicked the ball barefoot on the spacious prairies, as well as that such games lasted from sunrise until sunset.
The beginning of the 19th century in England was characteristic of individual sports, fencing, gymnastics, etc.
Then at Rugby School in 1823, student William Web Ellis grabbed the ball with his hands and ran to the opposite end of the field. His friends asked him to return the ball to them which he did, but with his foot. It was a precise shot, which amazed everyone, so they asked him to repeat. The repeated kick with the foot in a certain place delighted the students, so they also started to add with their feet. The first tripods were looms on the sports field, and then everything went by itself.
In the beginning, the ball was kicked only by school teams, and in 1855, the first football club in the world, Sheffield, was founded. Two years later, Halam was founded, and in 1859, Blackhit. On September 8, 1863, the general rules of the football game were agreed upon, and then football was separated from rugby. As the rules of the game were established, the students of Cambridge, Oxford, Rugby, and Harrow increasingly kicked the ball. At the initiative of the Cambridge players, on December 1, 1863, a football organization was officially founded in London, which is the first football association in the world.
Everyone played football on the island, so the federations of Scotland, Ireland and Wales were soon founded, and in 1872, the first international match between England and Scotland was held. Thirteen years later, professionalism was recognized in England, and in 1888, the first professional league was founded with 12 clubs according to the double point system.
In 1893, the Association of Football Referees was founded, which introduced new rules and kept those that passed the test in practice. At the beginning of the 20th century, the ball was kicked all over Europe, and on May 24, 1904, the International Football Organization, FIFA, was created, with its headquarters in Zurich.
And where is football at the Olympics.
The football game also started at the renewed Olympic Games. At the second Olympics in Paris in 1900, the national teams of France and England played, whose national team consisted entirely of the university club Eaton Park (0: 4). At the Olympics in St. Louis, four years later, a match was held between Canada and the USA (4: 0), and at the fourth Olympics in 1908 in London, football entered the official part of the program of games. Three years later, the overseas countries: the USA, Argentina and Chile gained FIFA membership, and in 1917, the first South American Championship was held.
After the First World War, FIFA resumed its activities, trying to create the World Cup, which succeeded in 1930 in Uruguay, Montevideo,
Champion Uruguay (1st title)
Second place Argentina
Third place in the United States
Fourth place Yugoslavia (my country)
Kombucha mushroom longevity.
Kombucha?!?!
Do you have problems with digestion, your immunity is weak, your bones and joints hurt, you are constantly exhausted and weak? If you have recognized yourself with at least one of these symptoms, it is high time you did something for yourself. One of the best suggestions is definitely the kombucha mushroom - a phenomenal natural elixir. It is he who contributes to human health in many ways. In China, this beneficial drink has been used for more than 2000 years. Kombucha tea is valued in the traditional medicine of Asia, and in almost all nations from that region. It acts similarly to kefir and recovers the entire organism in a short time.
What exactly is kombucha mushroom?
Kombucha mushroom originates from the Far East, more precisely from distant China. It is a drink that is created by fermentation of black tea and sugar (of different origin: sugar cane, fruit or honey). It is treated as a fully functional food.
The fungus contains colonies of bacteria and fungi that activate the fermentation process in contact with sugar. After completing this process, the kombucha drink contains sugar, vinegar, B-complex vitamins and enzymes. It contains natural probiotics and high concentrations of acids (acetic, gluconic and lactic). The fermentation process in the drink is started by bacteria and fungi called SCOBY (symbiotic colony of bacteria and fungi). Kombucha mushroom is usually made with black, but it can also be obtained from prized green tea.
The most useful probiotics in kombucha.
Gluconacetobacter (more than 85% in most samples).
Acetobacter (below 2 percent).
Lactobacillus (up to 30 percent in some samples).
Zygosaccharomyces (over 90 percent).
To regulate some health problems, kombucha is the right solution, such as:
Better digestion and easier digestion,
Healthy weight loss;
Raising energy levels;
Complete cleansing of the body;
Strengthening and raising immunity;
Relieving joint pain, especially in arthritis;
Cancer prevention.
That's why I warmly recommend this wonderful mushroom ... For a start, start with a smaller amount ... I hope it will help you ... It did for me.
Why are toilet bowls mostly white?
I always wondered, why are toilet bowls almost always white? I asked for an answer and got it.
There are actually two main reasons, and if you are interested in what they are, then here they are.
Toilet bowls are made of porcelain. This is a very solid material that is easy to clean and does not stain. That is why white cups are easy to clean and maintain. Since white is the cheapest color, then it is not surprising that all porcelain is painted white. In this way, toilet bowls become more affordable and cheaper.
Another reason why cups are white is psychological. White is associated with things that are the same and sterile, so when you see white in the bathroom, you have the feeling that you are entering a clean bathroom.
Autumn doesn’t just bring rain....
It seems to me that summer has passed quickly again and a depressing autumn has come, with annoying rains and gloomy skies? But there's really no need for me to feel that way. Do you think so?
There are many reasons to say goodbye to summer and embrace all the benefits that colder weather offers. You certainly enjoy them every year, but forget them in front of the fantastic scenes of beaches, sunbathing, short dresses, sandals and drying your hair in the hot wind.
First of all, it is certainly easier for you when there is no unbearable heat, constant sweating and headaches from the sun. It is certainly easier for you to stop anywhere to wait for the bus, instead of looking for a little shade.
Also, you no longer have to curse all those lucky people who spend time on a coast, while you feel trapped in the office or worse in a crowded bus without air conditioning.
And all the inconvenience from the beach? Burns, rashes, bacteria in swimming pools, all those lost sunglasses, swimsuit patterns, constant thinking about whether you look perfect in a bikini, while at the same time ice cream lures you in all directions… Autumn saves you!
Add to that the knowledge that mosquitoes are finally leaving along with the flight, do you need another reason?
And is there anything nicer than enjoying the weekend while tucked in your pajamas and with a hot drink?
**Welcome to autumn.**
Another name for diabetes is "silent killer"
Another name for diabetes is "silent killer" ...
Today's disease got its name because its symptoms cannot be noticed immediately. Diabetes can destroy organs without you even knowing you have it.
Glucose comes from foods such as fruits and from the digestion of carbohydrates. It is then transported through the blood to other parts of the body, and in order to be used for energy, the body needs insulin - the hormone of the pancreas. In people with type 1 diabetes, the pancreas does not secrete insulin, so they must take it in the form of injections, while in type 2 diabetes, there is insulin, but the body is not able to use it.
For people who suffer from diabetes, elevated blood glucose is practically a poison. Cells in the body "rely" on glucose to give them energy, so it is very important to maintain a normal blood glucose level.
**It is very important to notice the early signs of diabetes.**
Increased need for fluid and its excretion (going to the toilet). This symptom may be accompanied by a symptom of dry, dry mouth;
Increased hunger.
Weakness and weakness;
Unexplained weight loss, especially if you eat a lot more than before;
Frequent infections. Also, any injuries are much harder to heal, even small scratches;
Blurred and poor eyesight.
**Healthy food and exercise can prevent diabetes, and if you already have it, these two things can have a positive effect on your condition and overall health.**

Fair, carousel and Cotton candy.....
When you think of fairs, what comes to mind first? Collision cars? The smell of barbecue? How about a puffy candy candy? For many, this is a favorite treat at events like this, and do you know how sugar wool came to be?
This candy was first made in the USA. Namely, the deputy John Wharton and the dentist William Morrison from Nashville patented the first electric machine for the production of sugar wool in 1897. However, it was presented to the general public in 1904 at the world exhibition in St. Louis.
How is Cotton Candy made?
The sugar is heated and dissolves at a temperature of 150 degrees and becomes liquid. Then, it passes through small holes with the help of pressure, and on the other side, thin threads come out, which are "caught" on a wooden stick and, in contact with the air, finally harden.
Today, making this candy has become a real art.

Yoga union of sun and moon.
Yoga is a word that appears very often in the media and has become an international term. However, despite the fact that almost everyone has heard of Yoga, many know very little about it.
Yoga is certainly more than a designed method for perfecting the body, but what is it really?
Yoga is the science of body, mind and spirit. The physical part of Yoga consists of Asanas - exercises and postures that develop the body and Pranayama - breathing exercises. Mental development in Yoga is achieved through breathing exercises, concentration exercises and meditation.
The physical benefits you can expect from exercise are, among others, improved circulation, increased elasticity of all muscles, greater strength and resistance to disease. Yoga pays special attention to the spinal column, whose increased elasticity not only results in good health, but also successfully combats the many difficulties that people in the 21st century suffer from. Asanas stretch, massage and stimulate not only muscles, but also internal organs and glandular system. Pranayama is effective against bad breathing, which is very common. Controlled breathing techniques activate otherwise inactive chest muscles.
The lungs fill to their full capacity and oxygen uptake is improved. The blood is purified of toxins, and the lungs expand and strengthen. Through Yoga, all parts of our body are stimulated in order to function as a whole in the best health, calm and relaxed.
Yoga is a precious gift of Indian sages, Yogi, to the world. The science they have developed over hundreds and thousands of years, arose from their desire to help people in all possible living conditions, without the use of instruments, drugs and other external means. They wanted a method that would depend only on what every man already had: his body, mind and spirit.
Yoga is simple and natural and does not consist of many things but only one; it is a complete system that leads to unity.
There are various motives for practicing Yoga. Some may want to do it only for the sake of physical health, others to learn to concentrate, and some to practice because of certain philosophical beliefs and to gain inner peace and balance. Whatever your goal, you should start with the basic Asanas and Pranayama (body and breathing exercises).
You should not exercise too much, but you should not be careless either. If you practice according to the instructions, you can be sure that you will reap the fruits of your labor. But be patient. So, have confidence, self-confidence, develop your willpower, ability to concentrate, your faith and love with the help of Yoga.
Everyone needs love and confirmation.
Imagine a child born into an average family. It is small and helpless. The love and attention he received from his parents meant life to him. Their lack means death to him. When he has them, he is happy. When he is not there, he feels deep pain. As he grows, he realizes that the love and attention of his parents is not unconditional.
In fact, they are very conditioned. They praise him if he behaves nicely, collects toys, later when he has good grades. They criticize him when he is naughty, when he does not want to eat or sleep, when he watches TV instead of studying… Then the child comes to the conclusion that he will have more attention if he behaves one way or another, so he adopts these patterns of behavior.
However, what happens when parents are often absent and focused on work, or when they do not know how to devote themselves adequately to the child, because they did not learn that from their parents? The child, as a very intelligent being, will do everything in his power to get what he needs and what belongs to him by birth: the love and attention of his parents and the immediate environment. He will start manipulating and doing what he sees his parents "passing" and what they "fall for". If he gets attention with the disease, he will get sick. If he attracts attention by going to the room, being angry and refusing to communicate, so that his parents can come and dedicate themselves to him, he will do it. If parents praise good grades, they will try to have good grades. If that doesn't work for him, he can attract attention with mischief and bad behavior. Attention is attention, even when it is negative. And she is better than not having her at all.
It's ok if you're not ok right now.
It's ok if you're not ok right now. It's human as well. It’s ok if you feel lost. Because sometimes you have to get lost to find yourself. And you may feel like so much is collapsing around you. But that's ok too. Because for something new to come, something old has to go and make room for the new.
Whatever situation you are in right now, it’s okay.
You don’t have to do anything in vain. First, just accept that it's human too. And that you’re probably neither the first nor the last to go through that. And whatever any man in the world has gone through, anyone else can.
So take it easy. Don’t judge yourself, don’t criticize, and don’t be angry with yourself. Because it’s all part of the journey, it all teaches you something and leads you where you need to go. All this is necessary for your growth and progress.
Everything has a purpose. And even if you don’t get to know her right away, it doesn’t matter. Just believe in the process. And maybe for the first time don’t ask anyone else for an opinion. Because no one else lives your life and is not with you 24 hours a day. No one knows what is hidden deep inside you better than yourself. That is why no one can make a better decision than you.
Take it easy. Calm down. And Honestly to myself. Take care of yourself. Because if you won't, who will? If not now, then when?
There will always be a series of excuses. And time passes.
And don't let it pass in suffering and dissatisfaction. Give your contribution for your more beautiful tomorrow.
It is up to you to make it better.More cheerful.Brighter.More fulfilled.
With much more Love.
I have no more patience for.....
"I no longer have the patience for some things in life. Not because I’ve become arrogant, but simply because I’ve gotten to the point where I no longer want to waste time on things that make me unhappy or sad.
I no longer have the patience for cynicism, excessive criticism, or any demands. I have lost the will to please those who don’t appreciate me, I have no love for those who don’t love me and I don’t want to smile at those who don’t smile at me.
I will not spend another second on those who lie to me or try to manipulate me. I don’t even want to be around those who pretend, who are dishonest or superficial anymore. I do not tolerate academic arrogance and do not accept popular trivia.
I hate conflicts. I believe in a world full of diversity and that is why I avoid people with rigid attitudes and inflexible traits.
In friendship I do not tolerate a lack of loyalty and betrayal. I disagree with those who don’t know how to give a compliment or a word of encouragement. It’s hard for me to understand people who don’t like animals. And above all, I have no patience for anyone who does not deserve my patience! "

Yes, the time has come for our things to simply suffocate. Most people have changed radically. Simply, we need to isolate ourselves from things like this, because it is a large amount of negative energy that we absorb because of the unimportant people there. One big NO needs to be said to all this.
Alice in Wonderland syndrome is one of the most fascinating neurological conditions...
Alice in Wonderland syndrome is one of the most fascinating neurological conditions ever described in the medical literature (and school textbooks). It consists of a group of related symptoms, among which the most common are changes in perception. It is a symptom of an altered body image: body parts or objects from the environment are not perceived in the size they are. A person has the experience of physically becoming smaller or larger in relation to the environment, or has the impression that the environment is growing or narrowing around him. It often seems that the arms and head are disproportionate.
Generally speaking, people are more likely to perceive how their body parts grow than to shrink. Loss of sense of time is also possible - a person has the impression that time passes too slowly or too fast. Some people also experience hallucinations.
As visual perception becomes distorted, the same happens with other senses, especially hearing and touch. The movement of immovable things can be another result of distorted perception, and sometimes there is a transient feeling of dystrophy (which is not related to permanent or temporary disability). It most often occurs in children, and simply outgrows it during adolescence, and in addition to migraines, it is caused by an epileptic seizure, viral encephalitis and psychedelic substances.
The primary cause is an increase in electrical impulses in the brain, which increases blood flow in the parietal lobe, which is responsible for perception.
Let's beat breast cancer.
A healthy person has many desires, and a sick person only one - to be HEALTHY.
**Say it out loud for the first time**
**‘I have cancer’ is the hardest. The more you say that,it becomes easier to say those words. The more I am discussed her breast cancer diagnosis, that it was easier for me to accept everything I was going through. Sometimes it seemed ironic what I had the feeling that I am the one trying to cheer up those to whom I told sad news.**
**I feel like I was lucky to be a few years ago**
**I survived cancer and I am grateful every morning when I wake up and I can get out of bed.**
Breast cancer in a large number of countries makes up 25 percent of all malignant diseases in the female population, while the number of patients who lose the battle with this disease makes up as much as 15 percent of all deaths from all malignant diseases. Over the past year, more than two million new cases of the disease have been registered worldwide with over 500,000 deaths. When it comes to Serbia, that breast cancer is the leading malignant disease, and that every fourth woman in our country who suffers from a malignant disease has breast cancer, while every fifth woman who dies from a malignant disease dies from that disease.
Because of these devastating numbers, it is important that they report for an examination on time, so that there are no permanent delays. I can't today, I will tomorrow, or what if I have cancer ... If it is detected in time and treatment is adequately approached, there is a great chance that it will be cured.
**What is breast cancer?**
Breast cancer is a malignant growth that occurs when normal cells begin to multiply rapidly and destroy the surrounding healthy breast tissue, and later other organs.
Breast cancer most commonly occurs in older women who:
have the closest relatives (mother, sister, aunt, grandmother) suffering from this disease;
they had their first period before the age of 12, and the last after the age of 50;
did not give birth or had their first birth after the age of 30;
they have been using hormone therapy, alcohol and tobacco for a long time;
are obese and physically inactive.
**Breast cancer is a malignant tumor, which, if detected at an early stage, can be completely cured.**
The most common symptom of breast cancer is a palpable nodule in the breast, which is often felt by women themselves. In addition, other signs that a breast tumor is developing are: breast enlargement, which leads to breast asymmetry (about 20% of women have naturally asymmetrical breasts), redness and thickened skin, sometimes skin in the form of "orange peel", "ripples ”Skin, nipple retraction or bloody discharge from the nipple. At the same time, enlarged lymph nodes in the equilateral axilla can be palpated if the disease has spread to regional lymph nodes. It should be borne in mind that not all enlarged lymph nodes are affected by metastases.
**What is screening?**
Screening involves an examination of the appearance of healthy women, without the presence of symptoms and signs of the disease, which can detect early changes in breast tissue, when effective treatment is possible.
**What is mammography?**
Mammography is an X-ray examination to detect changes in the breast, which cannot be felt or detected by other types of examinations. If breast cancer is detected at an early stage, there is a greater chance of cure using sparing surgical methods, recovery is faster, and the quality of life is better than in women whose disease is detected at a later stage. Small and harmless doses of radiation are used in mammography.
One of the important items is breast self-examination.

I'm not your friend!
That's right, I haven't and never will be. I will not be friends with my children because friends are another category. I’m a mom and we’ll stick to that!
I love, look after, help, guard, encourage, pop, protest, advise, respect, care, but I am not a friend.
My task is to better prepare my children for life - not to play their friend. The reasonable dose of respect and love I give to my children, I want to get back. Motherhood is the most beautiful role in life, but it is not the only one. And when I became a mother I was still someone's wife, daughter, friend, colleague…. I still existed, but with another new role.
I understand people who decide not to have children, but I don’t understand those who will have them when they get a little used to life. Life without children can be fulfilling and wonderful, as well as life with children - it is not up to the children, it is up to us.
I sacrifice myself for my children!
No, I'm not sacrificing myself! I never felt like a victim, nor did the children restrain me in something I wanted. Maybe the reason is that my wishes were reasonable, so they were achievable? I don’t know, but I know I’ve never felt motherhood as a burden. We are no longer talking about the feelings that overwhelm you when you look at that little man while he sleeps, you look forward to the first unconscious smiles, you caress and kiss him, you hold a small handle in yours or you bathe him.
Not to mention the beautiful things that are related to motherhood. Everything has become difficult and complicated and everything seems too hard for us. It’s not easy, but it’s wonderful!

I was always fascinated by belly dancers. That flexibility, rhythm, sensuality ... And above all, a good figure.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wP52IJOFXOY
Many women have problems with fat deposits on their stomachs. Belly dancing can turn this flaw into a virtue. At the same time, it will help shape your stomach. During the abdominal dance, the muscles of the abdomen, back, hips and buttocks are activated. Due to belly dancing, oriental beauties have beautiful hips and a slim waist. In addition, belly dancing is considered one of the sexiest dances and has a positive impact on women's health.

Why are nobles said to have blue blood?
That is why members of noble families are said to have blue blood.
The term they used, sangre azul (meaning blue blood), comes from the fact that the veins on their fair skin were noticeably blue.
This is how members of aristocratic (noble) families are called. For several centuries, from 711 to 1492, when the dark-skinned Maori ruled Spain, members of old Castilian families spoke with pride that their blood had not been contaminated by the Maori or any other foreign matter.
The term they used, sangre azul (meaning blue blood), comes from the fact that the veins on their fair skin were noticeably blue. Namely, the white Spanish aristocrats, descendants of the old Iberians, unlike the others, with the Arabs and other races of mixed inhabitants of Spain, had blue veins on their hands, so the expression blue blood was created on that basis. Later, all nobles and members of noble families (counts, barons, marquises and others), whether white or dark-skinned, began to be called people of blue blood.
Another explanation says that the nobility during the feudal era mostly lived indoors and had a pale complexion which made their veins very visible, unlike peasant-serfs who worked in the open, cultivated the land and raised cattle and therefore their skin darkened on sun and hid the blue color of the veins.
The third explanation is related to the frequent presence of hemophilia in noble, ie royal, families, due to which many subcutaneous hemorrhages occur, which can cause large bruises.
