Mowing on Rajac Dear readers, today I will present to you an event that takes place in my beautiful village on Mount Rajac. Mowing on Rajac is a tourist event that represents the solemn end of mowing mountain meadows. Every year, tens of thousands of visitors from all over Serbia and the surrounding area enjoy this unique presentation of hard and important work, which was done not so long ago in this area. The event lasts for three days and is filled with rich cultural, artistic and sports contents, and the international event and competition of the best mowers stands out as the central event. On the day of mowing, the gathering of mob participants begins in the morning. The colorful folk costumes include mowers, water carriers, housewives, trumpeters and singers. With the sound of the trumpet, the wheel is played, a mower's song is sung. The best mower in the competition part is declared the winner and receives the Golden Hair. The winner of the show competition, for whose choice, in addition to the skill in mowing, the stature, costume and song are taken into account, is declared Djidija or Kozbash. At the next Mowing, he is the one who leads the mowers. The festival also has an international character. So far, reapers from Great Britain, Iceland, Romania, Russia, the Netherlands, Hungary, Norway have participated in the mowing ... Every year, the best reapers from Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro participate. **MOWER LUNCH** After the mowing, on the meadow, there is always an old mowing lunch with specialties and delicacies from that area, many of which are forgotten today. Rajac and mowing together keep the tradition, according to the number of visitors, it would be said very successfully. The mowing is visited by tens of thousands of tourists not only from Serbia, but also from abroad ... You can see what this event looks like in the following video. I hope you enjoy it. But certainly, believe me, the real experience is to see all this live. https://youtu.be/DOpprSyJqII Your @MarijaJak loves you! Best regards!

Hermetic protection Ever since the Corona virus pandemic began, we have been wearing protective masks. Without them, the day is unthinkable. In addition to the clothing combination, we are also looking for an adequate face mask. In addition to protection, masks have also become a fashion detail. Many people believe that the masks we can buy on the market are not one hundred percent protection against viruses. So we will soon get a mask that will have hermetic protection against viruses. Can you imagine what she would look like? In addition to 100% protection against viruses and bacteria, this mask also has a unique design, so its creators hope that it will be especially liked by children and young people who are not very inclined to wear protective masks. The American startup Blanc decided to develop its own model of the mask, so that they would be a safe protection against viruses. The mask, which looks more like a helmet, consists of two parts that are connected by magnets. It is equipped with two HEP filters and the one who wears it for two whole weeks can protect it from viruses, bacteria, allergens and polluted air. The manufacturer points out that the mask creates a hermetic protection of 180 degrees, while at the same time enabling natural breathing. The mask also provides the wearer with an additional opportunity to hide their identity, as it completely disables the recognition of faces by various electronic systems equipped with computer vision. And that, as bizarre as it was, the mask aroused great interest is also shown by the "crowdfunding" campaign on Kickstarter, which raised almost 220,000 dollars, which is 11 times more than the initial goal of the campaign up to 20,000. At the same time, there are less than 40 days until its completion. Deliveries of the mask start from March 2021, and its price ranges depending on the campaign support package that the buyer opts for. Currently, the lowest price is $ 79 per piece. By the way, Blanc is not worried that he will lose his job after the end of the corona virus pandemic and claims that his mask, which will be sold in different colors, will become a real "fashion gadget" that people will use in situations of increased air pollution. cities, high concentrations of pollen or possible contact with various allergens. Are we going to walk down the street like "Mighty Rangers"? And with these masks, we would no longer be able to recognize our friend, neighbor, relative ... The Corona virus definitely changes view at the world ... @MarijaJak P.S. @TheRandomRewarder why don't you visit me anymore? What is the problem? I don't know the reason for your absence! Waiting for you...!

How did the Himalayas originate? The Himalayas, which stretch for about 2,900 kilometers between India, Pakistan, China and Nepal, are the highest mountain range in the world. In addition to Mount Everest, the highest mountain peak in the world with a height of 8,848 meters, the wreath has several other mountain peaks above 8,000 meters. It is the only mountain range whose mountains exceed 8,000 meters, while the second highest mountain range in South America, whose highest peak is 6,962 meters. A million years ago, these mountains did not exist. Asia was almost untouched, but India was an island that floated not far from the coast of Australia. About 220 million years ago, at the time when Pangea separated, India began to move north. It traveled some 6,000 kilometers before finally colliding with Asia about 40-50 million years ago. Then part of the Indian mainland began to submerge below the Asian, moving it upwards, which contributed to the rise of the Himalayas. It is believed that the Indian coast was denser and more firmly attached to the seabed, which is why the softer Asian soil was pushed upwards, instead of the other way around. The mountain range has grown rapidly compared to most mountain ranges and is actually still growing. Mount Everest and its peers actually grow by an inch every year. In relation to it, the Appalachian Mountains, which developed more than 300 million years ago, are shrinking. The continuous growth of the Himalayas is most likely due to the Indian tectonic plate, which is still moving slowly, but surely to the north. We know that the plate is still moving thanks to frequent earthquakes in the region. If we deal with mathematics, we will see that the Himalayas would have been 400 kilometers high if they had grown on average, which is present today in the past 40 million years. **What happened?** In part, the average vertical growth has varied over time in favor of horizontal growth. In addition, of course, gravity and erosion have significantly limited mountain growth. The theory of India diving into Asia has become a generally accepted theory of how the Himalayas originated around 1912. Then Alfred Wegener, a German meteorologist, came up with the "Theory of the movement of continents" which gave us the first ideas about Pangea, tectonic plates and continents that move farther or closer to each other. **What will the Himalayas look like in the future?** Undoubtedly, the mountains will continue to grow, although they will erode at the same time. Also, the wreath will undoubtedly continue to grow, since it does not look like the Indian tectonic plate will slow down in the foreseeable future. That means more earthquakes and, over time, slightly larger mountains. **Another interesting fact** The highest point of the Himalayas is officially located at 8,848 meters, but often this number varies depending on the measurement criteria. Thus, for China, the height of the Himalayas is four meters lower because they do not count the snow and ice cover when measuring the height, while for the United States, which measured the Himalayas with GPS technology, Mount Everest is at a height of 8,850 meters. Mount Everest was first measured in 1856, almost 100 years before Sherpas Tencing Norgay and New Zealand alpinist Edmund Hillary reached this peak in 1953. Best regards! @MarijaJak

The power of oregano Oregano is a spice without which pizza would have a completely unrecognizable taste, but this plant is much more than that. It is also popularly known as vranil grass, grandmother's grass, blackthorn and ant. Oregano as a perennial plant (wild) grows in the warm hilly regions of southwestern Europe and the Mediterranean. Of course, it is also grown in other, colder parts of the planet, but as an annual plant. It is most similar to marjoram, but it is healthier than it. Oregano is an important culinary plant because as a spice it gives a specific aroma to dishes and salads to which it is added. Of course, "pizza grass" became popular outside of southern Italy after the Second World War. It goes well with spicy dishes, which are just popular in southern Italy. Not to be confused, it has long been used in all other cuisines throughout the Mediterranean (literally all), but also in the Philippines and Latin America. Since ancient times, oregano has a medical application. The father of medicine, Hippocrates, used it as a natural antiseptic, but also as a remedy for stomach pains and respiratory diseases. No wonder the Greeks use it against sore throat even today. Oregano is rich in antioxidants, primarily polyphenols and flavonoids. In addition to beneficial polyphenols, oregano also contains minerals: manganese, iron, calcium, but also vitamin K. Antibacterial action on many types of bacteria has been proven. It has a beneficial effect on the digestive, respiratory and nervous systems. **The power of oregano oil** It can be sold as a dried spice, as fresh (it can be grown in pots) and in the form of essential oil. Oregano oil (up to four percent) usually contains two polyphenolic compounds: carvacrol and thymol, which are the strongest natural antiseptics. Wild oregano oil is even more beneficial than ordinary (cultivated) oregano oil, and you can also find it in herbal pharmacies and health food stores. Compared to modern antiseptics, oregano oil gives even better results. Oregano oil is obtained from wild varieties of oregano by a special distillation process, in order to preserve all the healing properties. The most valuable medicinal substance in Oregano oil is carvacrol, an ingredient that has strong antibacterial properties. Scientists have confirmed that Oregano oil is effective against 25 different types of bacteria, mostly against most bacteria that cause infections of the colon and urinary tract, ulcers and skin infections. In addition to destroying bacteria, Oregano oil has a strong antiviral effect and effectively protects against flu and colds. Oregano oil works great against many types of bacteria, viruses and fungi that change shape and make treatment difficult. The aggressive antifungal properties of oregano oil successfully prevent stubborn infections such as candidiasis, persistent Escherichia, fungus on the nails and scalp, as well as "athletic foot". Depending on the type of infection, oregano oil can be drunk or applied topically. Interestingly, research by the US Department of Agriculture showed that oregano oil has 42 times greater antioxidant effect than apple, 12 times more than orange, 4 times stronger antioxidant effect than blueberries, and even 26 times stronger than phenol (means of sterilizing surgical instruments) . **Fragrant tea leaf oregan** Respiratory tract problems are encountered at the transition from one season to another, after viral infections, due to sinus weakness and a number of other reasons. Wild oregano tea will successfully alleviate all the problems caused by illness or irritation of the respiratory tract and soothe cough and bronchitis. It is also beneficial for digestive disorders and especially effective for unpleasant diarrhea and intestinal parasites. If you are struggling with Escherichia coli, due to the prescribed dosage of this tea, your urinary tract will finally be free of pain and unbearable tension. **If you love this spice, now you have an extra reason. Season the food with a healthy plant!** I hope you found this text useful! Best regards! Your @MarijaJak

What does that mean if you are constantly cold...? The causes of the constant feeling of cold are numerous, but some can be a serious warning. From hormone disorders to anemia, but also to more serious medical conditions. If you are cold because the temperature dropped by about 10 degrees Celsius in just one day - that is perfectly normal, but if you are shaking while everyone around you is comfortable - that can be an indicator of health problems. Check that one of these reasons is not to blame for the fact that you are constantly freezing. **You are too thin** *Low weight, more precisely when your BMI (body mass index) is 18.5 or lower, can mean that you are automatically colder. When you are thin, you lack the appropriate level of body fat that would "isolate" you from the low temperature. Also, in order to maintain such a low BMI, it means that you have either drastically reduced your food intake or eaten almost nothing. And when you skip calories, you slow down your metabolism, which means that it does not produce enough body heat.* **Hormone disorder** *Cold intolerance can be added to the long list of health problems for which we can thank that butterfly-like gland in the neck.* *If you are always cold, it can mean that you suffer from hypothyroidism, which means that your thyroid gland does not secrete enough hormones. And without the proper levels of this hormone, it slows down your metabolism, and prevents your body's "engine" from producing enough heat. Other signs of this problem are: thinning hair, dry skin and weakness.* **Anemia** *Low iron levels are a common cause of chronic feelings of coldness. Iron is a key mineral that helps red blood cells carry oxygen through the body, which also means bringing heat and nutrients to every cell. Without enough iron, red blood cells can't do their job effectively, and you're cold and shivering.* **Poor circulation** *If your feet and hands are always icy, and the rest of your body is at a comfortable temperature, you have problems with circulation, which means that due to a certain problem, blood does not reach the extremities. Cardiovascular disease could be the cause of this, as this indicates that the heart is not pumping your blood efficiently or the blockage of the arteries is preventing blood from reaching your fingers. Otherwise, smoking has a very bad effect on the circulation.* **Lack of sleep** *Lack of sleep can "devastate" your nervous system and reverse the functions in the brain, which affect body temperature. It is not yet completely clear why this happens, although research suggests that insufficient sleep reduces activity in the hypothalamus, the part of the brain responsible for regulating body temperature.* **An early sign of diabetes** *Uncontrolled diabetes can cause a condition called peripheral nephropathy, which affects the nerves that are responsible for the feeling of touch in your arms and legs.* *Numbness and sometimes pain in the arms and legs are felt, and since these nerves are also responsible for sending a message to your brain regarding the sensation of temperature, your arms and legs may also be cold.* *Diabetic nephropathy develops gradually, so you may be completely unaware of its existence. But if you have diabetes or have symptoms of the disease, the first three are usually frequent urination, a feeling of fatigue and increased thirst, visit a doctor.* **Vitamin deficiency** *Winter hardiness can be caused by a lack of vitamin B12, which can be found in foods of animal origin, and plays a major role in reducing the feeling of cold. The body needs vitamin B12 to produce red blood cells that spread oxygen in the body. Lack of this vitamin causes anemia, decreased number of erythrocytes, and eventually cold.* These are some of the causes of the constant feeling of cold ... I hope that you are not constantly cold and that you are in good health, my dear readers. I wish you all a nice and pleasant night ...

Tamanu oil Good evening, dear readers! Do you think you have heard of all the types of oils that exist in the world? I can tell you there is one oil, which I believe is not very well known, and that you should get acquainted with it, because it is extremely powerful! Namely, it is about Taman oil. Tamanu, or Calophyllum inophyllum, grows wild in Polynesia and Southeast Asia, and is cultivated in Madagascar and Hawaii. It is a tree about 30 meters high, with thick, bumpy bark and large branches. Its leaves are firm, dark green, oval, with small white flowers with a yellow center, an aroma reminiscent of lime. The apricot-sized fruit hides seeds with a yellow core, from which, a month after harvesting, oil is obtained by cold pressing. The oil is thick, cloudy, green, with a whitish precipitate, and predominantly contains oleic and linoleic acid. The oil sometimes likes to be squeezed in the bottle, especially in the winter, so it looks more like some paste rather than oil. If this happens, it needs to be warmed slightly to make it liquid again. Ingredients that affect cell regeneration and the creation of new tissue are always beneficial on several levels. Little known, and extremely effective dark oil due to these characteristics is used to relieve scars and stretch marks, as a first aid for cracked skin, frostbite, cracked capillaries, and even cellulite, because it speeds up circulation. It is an indispensable ally in stopping skin aging, lightening blemishes and treating acne. Tamanu oil stimulates the synthesis of collagen, which is why it is a favorite ingredient in anti-aging care, and at the same time it protects the skin from UV rays responsible for premature skin aging. The oil also stimulates the growth of new skin cells, so it helps in wound healing, and thanks to its regenerative effect, it reduces scars and alleviates hyperpigmentation. It has the same effect on relieving stretch marks. **Relieves inflammation** Unlike other oils, this oil does not clog pores and has antibacterial properties. If you have acne, pimples or other inflammatory processes on the skin such as eczema, try to treat yourself with this oil. It is especially effective in treating acne, as it acts on the bacteria that cause them. **Deeply hydrates** In addition to effectively hydrating, which is a condition for healthy and supple skin, this oil contains fatty acids such as oleic and linoleic, which strengthen the skin's barrier and supply it with healthy lipids. How to use This oil is very active and strong, so it should not be used often, but always diluted in a mild oil such as almond, olive or sunflower, in a ratio of half and half, even less, not more. You can also use it as an ingredient in moisturizers, serums, face and body oils, even in hair preparations. You can also make a face mask yourself with aloe or honey, apply on the face, hold for 15 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water. You can also add pure oil to your favorite cream or face oil. Of course, just a few drops. Also, this oil is indispensable in the treatment of all inflammatory skin conditions: eczema, psoriasis, seborrheic and atopic dermatitis (even that caused by x-rays), rosacea. **Warning!** If you are allergic to nuts, avoid Tamanu oil! *Below I give you a few recipes.* **Oil for sensitive skin prone to atopy** **Components**: Tamanu oil 5 mL evening primrose oil 5 mL rice oil 20 mL Optional: essential oil of German chamomile 4 drops carrot seed essential oil 6 drops antioxidant rosemary extract 2 drops *Mix all ingredients in a suitable bottle. Use under or instead of the usual cream, preferably on skin pre-moistened with hydrolate or hydrolate-based tonic.* For sensitive skin, the best hydrolates are Roman and German chamomile and witch hazel, and you can enrich them with dexpanthenol and marshmallow extract. **Oil for oily skin prone to acne** **Components**: Tamanu oil 5 mL jojoba oil 5 mL squalane 5 mL hazelnut oil 15 mL 6 drops of lavender essential oil 5 drops of tea tree or manuka essential oil 4 drops of German chamomile essential oil 2 drops of antioxidant rosemary extract (optional) *Mix all ingredients in a suitable bottle. Use under or instead of the usual cream, preferably on skin pre-moistened with hydrolate or hydrolate-based tonic. For oily skin prone to acne, tea tree hydrolates, thyme chemotype linalool and neroli are most suitable.* **Oil for skin affected by rosacea** **Components:** Tamanu oil 5 mL macerate centele 15 mL jojoba oil 5 mL squalane 5 mL essential oil of German chamomile 4 drops carrot seed essential oil 6 drops drill essential oil 4 drops antioxidant rosemary extract 2 drops *Mix all ingredients in a suitable bottle. Use under or instead of the usual cream, preferably on skin pre-moistened with hydrolate or hydrolate-based tonic.* *For skin with rosacea, I suggest hydrolates of burdock, carrot seeds and German and Roman chamomile. The selected hydrolate can be enriched with grapevine extract (up to 10%).* **Luxury anti-aging oil** **Components**: Tamanu oil 5 mL pomegranate seed oil 3 mL dog thorn seed oil 2 mL jojoba oil 5 mL centered macerate 10 mL lettuce oil 5 mL immortelle essential oil 5 drops natural vitamin E 4 drops antioxidant rosemary extract 2 drops *Mix all ingredients in a suitable bottle. Use under or instead of the usual cream, preferably on skin pre-moistened with hydrolate or hydrolate-based tonic.* With this oil, I recommend hydrolates of immortelle, incense, rose or sandalwood, and it is good to enrich them with active ingredients such as dermo-fillers and peptidelin. **Oil against cold sores on the lips** I suggest two effective recipes for cold sores: **Simple**: in a 10 mL bottle, drip 20 drops of ravensara essential oil, and fill the top with tamanu oil. Shake and apply to the affected area several times a day. **Complex** (long-term infections) 10 drops of ravensare 2 drops of peppermint 4 drops of niaulia 2 drops of thyme kt. tujanol 5 ml of Tamanu oil *1 drop of this mixture is applied 6-8 times a day topically to herpes, until the symptoms disappear*. That was all from me about Tamanu oil. I hope you find this article useful! If you liked this text, like it, leave a comment, and if you didn't so far — follow me! I wish you a pleasant upcoming weekend! Greetings! Your @MarijaJak

Will our superheroes charge our phones? If you thought that every lightning that strikes the Earth is the same, then you were wrong. Namely**, super lightning** produce more energy than all other natural sources combined, and one such mega-flash in 2018 stretched across the sky for about 700 kilometers, while the accompanying lightning strike lasted 17 seconds. Scientists have confirmed the existence of "super lightning" that can be up to 1,000 times brighter than the average lightning strike, and produce more energy than all solar panels and wind turbines in the United States combined. In two separate studies of extreme lightning, researchers were amazed at the force they release much more often than previously thought. The so-called "superbolts" were first discovered in the 1970s, when they were assumed to have only 100 times stronger brightness than a typical lightning strike. Now, however, using satellite observations, researchers from the American National Laboratory "Los Alamos" have discovered much more. **Hotspots "super lightning"** Peterson and his colleague Erin Lai analyzed data from NASA's geostationary thunder map, which records lightning with orbital meteorological satellites every two milliseconds, looking for lightning that shines 100 times stronger than average. They discovered approximately two million such atmospheric events that meet the criteria. More precisely, it was one of 300 lightning bolts during two years. Many super lightning bolts "shoot" with a power of at least 100 gigawatts of power. For comparison, in 2018, all American solar panels and wind turbines produced 163 gigawatts of power. The authors, however, warn that they may have missed lighter but shorter lightning bolts, as they counted only flashes that lasted two milliseconds or longer. When they then analyzed the lightning data 1,000 times brighter than average, they found several hotspots of "superbolt" activity, including the central part of the United States, as well as the Rio de la Plata basin, which stretches over parts of Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil. **How to harness the power of lightning** Meanwhile, another study that analyzed 12 years of data downloaded from the Fast Transmission Event Temporary (FORTE) satellite counted superflashes of 100 gigawatts or more. One thunderbolt even exceeded 3 terawatts of power - which is thousands of times stronger than ordinary lightning detected from space. Understanding these immensely powerful events is crucial to improving our understanding of the planet's atmosphere. There are also several projects exploring the possibility of harnessing lightning power for practical use, but the use of "superbolts" with existing technology is still a long way off. It was initially thought that one thunderbolt near South Africa in 1979 was a nuclear bomb that detonated. Another that hit Newfoundland in 1978 left damage "as small as" a mile in diameter, including shredded trees, distorted television antennas, destroyed electrical transformers, and even craters.

Angelman syndrome Dear readers, I will write to you about a rare genetic syndrome. The point of my writing about health problems is to raise awareness among people that we have to take care of our health and to have regular check-ups with our doctors. Angelman syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes developmental difficulties and neurological problems - difficulties with speech, balance and walking, and in some cases epileptic seizures. It developed on chromosome 15 inherited from the mother. It was named after Dr. Harry Angelman, the British pediatrician who first described the syndrome in 1965. Angelman syndrome is not usually detected until parents begin to notice delayed development when the baby is between 6 and 12 months old. Seizures often begin at the age of 2 to 3 years. The clinical picture of a person with Angelman syndrome is variable. The overlap of symptoms of this disease with the symptoms of other disorders (Rett syndrome, Prader Willi syndrome, idiopathic non-progressive encephalopathy, Lennox Gastaut syndrome or pervasive developmental disorders) is also common. Angelman syndrome treatment focuses on managing a child’s health and developmental problems. **Symptoms of Angelman syndrome** Angelman syndrome occurs in approximately 1 in 20,000 newborns. Symptoms develop gradually so that they depend on the age of the person and also on the genetic mechanism of the onset of critical region dysfunction. Those with a deletion (loss of a part of a chromosome) have the most difficult and typical clinical picture. **Characteristic signs and symptoms of Angelman's syndrome are:** developmental delay, for example, if the child does not crawl at the age of 6 to 12 months or intellectual disability, microcephaly, lack of speech or minimal speech (some pronounce only a few words), feeding problems inability to walk, move or maintain balance, spastic (rigid) gait and movements, trembling movements of the arms and legs (so-called "flapping"), often smiling and laughing. **People diagnosed with Angelman's syndrome may also have other symptoms, including:** epileptic seizures that usually begin between the ages of 2 and 3, strabismus (squinting, running away from the eye), walking with your hands "in the air", protruding lower jaw (progeny). **Complications associated with Angelman syndrome include:** hyperactivity, sleep disorder, scoliosis, obesity. **Treatment of Angelman syndrome** The syndrome is diagnosed by genetic testing, and in the process of detecting the disease, after the suspicion is based on the clinical picture, a characteristic EEG finding can also contribute. Prenatal testing is sometimes used (possible). Since there is no way to “repair” chromosome damage, there is no cure for Angelman syndrome. Treatment focuses on managing developmental problems. **Depending on the child's symptoms, treatment for Angelman's syndrome may include:** ****Seizure control medications (anticonvulsants)**** - may be needed so that seizures caused by Angelman syndrome can be controlled. ****Physical therapy**** - Children with Angelman syndrome can learn to walk better with the help of physical therapy. Other movements and activities learn to compensate and better "become independent" with the help of occupational therapy. ****Communication therapy**** - although people with Angelman syndrome usually communicate only in simple sentences, communication therapy can be helpful. Non-verbal communication can be developed using sign language and images. ****Behavioral therapy - can help children with Angelman**** syndrome to overcome hyperactivity and short attention spans, which can help development. Although the stage of development of people with Angelman syndrome can vary considerably, many will be able to build relationships with friends and family. All types and methods of therapy are used to get the most out of it and to improve the child's quality of life. The world's doctors are hoping to find a genetic drug that will cure children from this syndrome! With all my heart, I wish them success in that! Thank you for reading my article! I hope you take care of your health! I wish you all the best! Greetings for everyone from @MarijaJak 1.12.2020.

What is hemophilia??? **WHAT IS HEMOPHILIA?** The word Hemophilia comes from two Greek words; haima, meaning blood, and philia, meaning disease. Hemophilia is an inherited disease. This means that it is transmitted from mother to child at birth. The blood of a person with hemophilia does not clot normally. A person with hemophilia does not bleed harder or faster, but for a longer period of time. Many people believe that hemophiliacs bleed a lot from small cuts. This is not true. External wounds are usually not of greater danger. Internal bleeding (hemorrhage) is much more serious. These bleeds are in the joints, especially in the knees, ankles, and elbows; in tissues and in muscles. If bleeding occurs in a vital organ, especially the brain, the life of a person with hemophilia is endangered. **WHAT ARE OTHER NAMES FOR HEMOPHILIA A?** Hemophilia A is also called by two other names: Classical hemophilia because it is the most common disorder of blood factor levels. Factor VIII is hemophilia, because it is a disorder of factor VIII levels in the blood, a protein in the blood whose deficiency causes a clotting problem. **WHAT ARE OTHER NAMES FOR HEMOPHILIA B?** Hemophilia B, is also known by two other names; Christmas disease, according to Stephen Christmas, a Canadian, who in 1952 was the first person to be identified with this new form of hemophilia. Factor IX is hemophilia, because it is a disorder of the levels of factor IX in the blood, a protein in the blood whose lack causes a slowing down of the clotting process. How common is Hemophilia? Both Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B are rare disorders. Hemophilia A affects one in 10,000 people on average, while Hemophilia B is even rarer because it affects only one in 50,000 people. **WHO IS AFFECTED BY HEMOPHILIA?** People of all races, skin colors and ethnic groups suffer from hemophilia. Severe Hemophilia affects almost exclusively men. Women can have severe hemophilia only if the father has hemophilia and the mother is a carrier. which is an extremely rare case. However, many women who carry Hemophilia have symptoms of mild hemophilia. Only now are we able to see all the difficulties caused by the coagulation disorder in the carrier itself as well as the way in which this disorder affects the quality of life. As hemophilia is an inherited disorder, people get it at birth. This means that children can have hemophilia. In fact, hemophilia is most often diagnosed in a child during the first year of life. Severe hemophiliacs with less than 1% factor in the blood have internal bleeding several times a month. Often there is no obvious reason for the bleeding - it just happens. Moderate hemophiliacs bleed much less frequently. Bleeding is a consequence of minor traumas such as sports injuries and others. Mild hemophiliacs have bleeding even less often, they may become aware of their disorder only in the case of surgery, tooth extraction and severe injuries. Women with mild hemophilia (carriers) bleed more during the menstrual period. Treatment of hemophilia with medicinal herbs Although hemophilia is not curable, herbal preparations help to reduce complications to a minimum, which will certainly improve the quality of life of hemophiliacs. **Rusomaca and virak to alleviate the ailments** Mix equal parts of veronica, virak, rusomaca and hajduk grass, then steam a teaspoon of the mixture with a quarter of a liter of water and leave it to stand for a minute or two. Drink four cups of tea a day. Take a bath every 14 days: soak 100 g of this mixture in a liter of cold water overnight, and the next day, cool it and add it to moderately warm bath water. Lie in the customer for about 20 minutes. **Tea from called to relieve discomfort** A mixture of called and boxwood helps, and tea is prepared by boiling four tablespoons in a liter of water for a minute or two. Tea from called strain and leave to cool. Drink in sips per cup of tea three times a day before and after the main meal, for 12 days. **Therapy for painful joints** Cabbage dressings Iron over three leaves of fresh cabbage to warm and soften, then place on a sore and inflamed wrist and wrap with cotton or linen cloth. After an hour, repeat the treatment with new leaves. Comfrey ointment During the day, smear the affected joints with comfrey tincture in five layers, and in the evening rub the ointment mixed with that plant. Cover with a nylon bag and wrap with a cotton cloth. So leave it overnight and wash the skin in the morning. **Basil reduces inflammation** The ingredient eugenol from this medicinal plant has a strong anti-inflammatory effect, and helps in case of pain and swelling of the joints. It can be used as an addition to dishes in fresh or dried form or in the form of tea.

The most intriguing mystery in the world The stone heads found on Easter Island are among the most intriguing mysteries in the world, and the last five years of excavations at this archeological site have revealed new, convincing evidence that finally connects huge stone figures with the quality and fertility of the land. On the famous island of Rapa Nui, archaeologists have discovered 887 statues known as moai, although it is suspected that there are about a thousand of them, and each weighs about 12 tons. It has long been believed that statues have only heads, but archaeologists have found bodies beneath the earth's surface during previous projects. Moai statues are made of monolithic stones, volcanic tufa and are carved on the edge of the Rano Raraku volcano, where there are the most of them, close to 400 in a row. Hundreds of them were transported from there and placed on stone platforms along the perimeter of the island. Slightly less than 100 statues remained unfinished, indicating that the quarry was suddenly abandoned. About 300 statues were laid on the ground, and the rest were lined up along the roads along the island. The statues are very similar in appearance, but they are of different dimensions, most often up to three and a half meters, and the highest is as high as 21 meters. The masses of these largest statues exceed one hundred tons. Almost all of them have very large heads, which make up three-fifths of their bodies and to which the greatest attention was paid during construction. These statues represent real stylized human heads, on which the whole is convex, and pieces of coral are polished in the eye sockets, the nose is long and the cheeks are smooth. The statues have existed on the island since the first Europeans arrived there, but most were torn down during later clan conflicts. By the way, the island of Rapa Nui, which is one of the most isolated and lonely on Earth where people live, has not been known for thousands of years, and it was discovered on April 5, 1722 by the Dutch navigator Jakob Rogeven. As Easter was that day, the island was named Easter. It is located in Polynesia, in the South Pacific Ocean, about 3,700 km west of Chile, it is of volcanic origin, and until 1888 it did not belong to anyone, and then it was annexed to Chile. The new research, the results of which were published in the journal Archaeological Science, dealt with two statues that are still in the quarry from whose stone all the stone statues were built. Researchers believe that these two statues were intentionally left in the quarry, and not that they remained because they were not moved in time, and some even believe that aliens helped in the construction. Many mysteries and unknowns are associated with moai statues, and given their enormous weight, as some weigh over 10 tons, it is believed that extraterrestrial technology was used to make the transport. By the way, moai statutes date from between 1000 and 1600, but the most accepted theory is that they were carved 500 years ago by the inhabitants of the Polynesian islands and made as stone symbols representing ancestors or prominent dignitaries. Finally, I will post a video about these mysterious Moai statues. https://youtu.be/c4U5Y7MSAJc I send you a big greeting! I hope you enjoyed the story of the amazing statues.

How to calculate the ratio of profit and cost in mining **Cryptocurrency Mining and Game Theory** Cryptocurrency mining is an excellent example of the so-called game theory where dynamic market price and average cost when mining are the main "players". Increasing the market price of the mined coin will increase profitability. According to this, it is expected that more participants will enter mining as they see an opportunity to make money. On the other hand, by reducing the market price, it also reduces the profitability for the individual. According to this, it is expected that miners with high costs will be forced to leave the network because their mining is no longer profitable. The temporary gap between the market price and the average mining price can be overcome with the help of other network members, in the long run. The bigger the gap, the more likely it is that an individual would rather mine than buy. Market demand will be reduced and it is very likely that the miner will sell part of his reward, which will increase the amount of sales on the market. **Mining profitability and its main parameters** Profitability can be determined by looking at the net mining price and the market price of the mined cryptocurrency. The main parameters that determine the profitability of cryptocurrency are: The market price of cryptocurrency Daily issuance of mined cryptocurrency Daily income Daily energy consumption by mining equipment Total hashrate of network participants The price of electricity used for mining Utilization of mining equipment **Mining profitability calculation based on main parameters** 1. Net profit can be defined as the difference between the market price and the mining price. These two parameters create the following equation: `Net profit [USD / SFX] = market price [USD / SFX] - mining price [USD / SFX]` 2. The price of mining per coin is defined by the daily price of electricity and the daily reward in safex cash, which leads us to the following equation: `Mining price [USD / SFX] = daily electricity price [USD] / daily safex cash reward [SFX]` 3. The daily price of electricity can be obtained from the price of a kilowatt of electricity per hour and energy consumption by mining equipment. I guess the mining equipment works 24/7 and from there we can get the third equation: `Daily electricity price [USD] = price per cradle-hour [USD / kWh] x daily consumption [kW] x 24h [h]` 4. The daily reward in the form of safex cash can be obtained with the help of daily broadcasting of cryptocurrency (block reward), daily earnings from transaction fees (transaction fee revenue), hashrate of your mining equipment and hashrate of the entire network. A miner can plan his mining strategy using a hashrate diagram and using the result of the fourth equation: `Daily Reward [SFX] = (Daily Coin Issue [SFX] + Daily Transaction Fee [SFX]) x your hashrate [hr / s] / total hashrate [hr / s]` 5. Finally, we will get the daily profit from the net price of mining and the daily reward. Based on this result, a weekly, monthly or annual profit can be concluded under the assumption that all parameters are relatively constant. `Daily profit [USD] = net profit [USD / SFX] x daily reward in safex cash [SFX]`

What are you talking about in front of the vacuum cleaner? Most models of vacuum cleaners connect to the Internet, you can control them using an application from your phone, scan the premises and know exactly what, where and when to clean. However, all this additional technology makes them more vulnerable to cyber attacks. Research from the University of Maryland has shown that robotic vacuum cleaners are problematic. The researchers there collected data from the laser navigation system of the vacuum cleaner (it is the system that tells them where they are in the room and prevents them from crashing into things). They analyzed the data, and managed, with the help of several different techniques, to obtain a recording of a conversation and a TV program that took place in the room where the vacuum cleaner was working. This research showed that any device that uses Lidar (a navigation technology that uses laser to measure different distances around the device) can be hacked and used to collect audio recordings, even if it does not have a microphone in it. In translation, your robot vacuum cleaner could eavesdrop on you without you even being aware of it. Namely, most of these smart vacuum cleaners store the maps on which they move in the "cloud", which makes them vulnerable to cyber attacks, and thus your security is endangered. Also, due to the fact that people work mostly from home due to the whole situation, these vacuum cleaners can become a very efficient tool, both for industrial espionage and for stealing sensitive private data, such as bank data. Just in case, it would be best to have confidential conversations in rooms where there are no smart vacuum cleaners. Still, maybe a robot vacuum cleaner can make our lives easier, but I still prefer those classic vacuum cleaners, because I am convinced that I will clean nicer and better than a robot! `I wish you a nice and pleasant night! I send you a big greeting until tomorrow!` `And see you tomorrow with new topics!` 27.11.2020. Your @MarijaJak

Tips for in vitro fertilization **Mediterranean nutrition and summer** increase up to three times the chances of successful in vitro fertilization, world research has shown, which is why doctors remind couples who intend to have children in this way that summer is the time of year in which they can influence their wishes to become parents. Expectant parents can influence the improvement of preconditions for successful in vitro fertilization, because on the one hand they can **eliminate harmful factors and habits such as stress, smoking and alcohol**, while on the other hand a healthy lifestyle and special nutrition will significantly improve the condition of the organism. **The great importance of nutrition** in the process of in vitro fertilization was confirmed by one of the most comprehensive research conducted so far at Harvard, in which about 18,000 couples participated for several years. By changing five or more habits related to diet and exercise, women who had problems with ovulation, which is the cause of 18 to 30 percent of sterility, reduced the risk of infertility by as much as 80 percent, the research showed. **What is the relationship between pregnancy and melatonin levels?** A study conducted at the Women's Hospital in Liverpool showed that in the summer, the chances of getting pregnant in the process of in vitro fertilization are three times higher because women need ovulation-stimulating drugs to a significantly lesser extent than **during the winter months**. In addition, doctors have discovered that the **hormone melatonin, which affects sleep**, also has an effect on a woman's fertility being higher during the sunny months. Melatonin, the hormone of the pineal gland, is manifested exclusively during the night and is important when women try to get pregnant, because it protects their ovaries from oxidative stress. Melatonin has strong antioxidant properties and protects the ovaries from free radicals, especially when women are ovulating. **What type of food is desirable for successful in vitro fertilization?** The nutrition advises whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as proteins with a lower fat content, which are found primarily in fish, dairy products, poultry and other "lean" meat, as well as protein of plant origin. Iron and folic acid and its derivatives are especially important in this preconception period and they are mostly found in green vegetables, but vitamin cocktails with these ingredients in the form of prenatal tablets are often recommended. Foods rich in antioxidants and omega 3 fatty acids are especially suitable for people who are entering the process of in vitro fertilization. A little red wine, olive oil, as well as fish meat are traditional sources of these ingredients. However, one should be careful with fish, because certain fish, due to sea pollution, also have a high level of mercury, which is certainly not a friend of a planned pregnancy. Therefore, fish that are known to contain less mercury such as trout, salmon, catfish, and others should be chosen. In men, in addition to the above, it is advisable to increase the consumption of zinc, selenium and other antioxidants at least 3 months before the procedure of in vitro fertilization. @MarijaJak 26.11.2020.

The most powerful secret services in the world Hello dear readers! Today I will write to you about the most powerful intelligence services in the world. Seeing the title of the article, you must have immediately thought of the FBI, but there are other intelligence services in the world that are also very powerful. Intelligence services are one of the strongest links for national security in all countries of the world. I will mention the 10 most powerful intelligence services. **1. ISI** ISI is the main intelligence service in Pakistan, founded in 1948. Its duty is to gather key information regarding national security for the needs of the Government of Pakistan. American Crime News named Pakistan's intelligence service the best and strongest service of its kind in the world. The headquarters of ISI is in Islamabad. **2. CIA** Of all the services dealing with security in the United States, such as the FBI, DIA and NSA, the most prominent and well-known is the CIA. The CIA was founded in 1947 as one of the best and most independent agencies in the world. The primary function is the analysis of data on foreign nationals, the analysis of data required by the top leadership of the United States, as well as special operations for the president. The agency is located a few miles from Washington. **3. MI6** The British MI6 was founded shortly before the First World War to deal with German government activists. Their headquarters are called "SIS Building" and are located in London. MI6 was closely involved in various events in the 20th and 21st centuries, but this was not announced before 1994. MI6 agents are tasked with carefully monitoring internal and external terrorist activities, as well as organizations and states that could threaten national security. of the British Kingdom. **4. FSB** The Russian FSB is the successor to the former KGB, which operated during the Soviet era. Founded in 1995, the FSB is dedicated to counterterrorism and work to protect the interests of the Russian Federation. According to some data, the FSB has 250,000 agents working secretly in the country or as foreign spies in many countries around the world. **5. BND** The German BND was formed during World War II to spy on the strategy and plans of the enemy, and they are located near Munich. The budget of the German federal service is measured in billions. They use state-of-the-art equipment to spy on enemies for the benefit of the government and are considered one of the best organized intelligence services in the world. **6. RAW** RAW is an intelligence service in India established in 1968. This intelligence service is accountable only to the Prime Minister of India as long as it has no responsibility to the parliament in that country. Her biggest responsibility and responsibility is to collect data on possible terrorist attacks. **7. DGSE** This French intelligence service is especially in charge of the most sensitive issues concerning state security. It is not known as other intelligence agencies, but it managed to prevent 15 terrorist attacks in France. It employs about 5,000 agents. **8. ASIS** This Australian intelligence service was founded in 1951, and was founded by the executive branch of the British Commonwealth. Despite many controversies, it is one of the best intelligence agencies in the world. **9. MSS** The Chinese intelligence service is based in Beijing. The primary goal is counterintelligence and protection of state and political interests. The MSS works in parallel with the Public Safety Bureau. The agency was founded by the Communist Party. **10. MOSSAD** The well-known Israeli intelligence service, which primarily deals with the collection of anti-terrorist data, as well as many secret operations. The director of the agency reports to the country's prime minister. Their agents are involved in collecting significant data for the benefit of Israel. Their best unit is the Metsad which is in charge of many killings and covert operations around the world. `I hope you are now more familiar with the world's secret intelligence services.` `I wish you a nice rest of the day!` `Greeting!` Your @MarijaJak! 24.11.2020.

Insulin resistance, symptoms, treatment, nutrition **What is insulin resistance?** Insulin is a natural hormone produced by the pancreas, the glandular organ behind the stomach. It helps the body's cells metabolize glucose so it can be used for energy. If someone has resistance, ie. insulin resistance, his body produces enough insulin, but it cannot be used effectively. Instead of being absorbed into the cells, glucose accumulates in the blood. When cells are resistant to insulin, the pancreas is under pressure to produce more insulin hormone. Insulin resistance increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. It also increases the likelihood of developing prediabetes. This condition means that the blood sugar level is higher than normal, but not high enough to be considered diabetes. Insulin resistance, however, does not always lead to diabetes. It may be possible to prevent type 2 diabetes by losing weight, eating carefully and exercising consistently. Insulin resistance is a condition in which the cells of the body become more resistant to insulin. Insulin resistance can be part of the metabolic syndrome, and is associated with a higher risk of developing heart disease. Insulin resistance precedes the development of type 2 diabetes. Insulin resistance has been linked to other medical conditions, including fatty liver, arteriosclerosis, acanthosis nigricans, and reproductive abnormalities in women. Individuals are more likely to develop insulin resistance if they have any of several related medical conditions. They are also likely to be insulin resistant if they are obese. Although there are genetic risk factors, insulin resistance can be managed with diet, exercise and proper medication. **Insulin resistance - cause** There are several causes for insulin resistance, and genetic factors (hereditary components) are usually significant. Some drugs can contribute to insulin resistance. In addition, insulin resistance often occurs with the following conditions: 1) metabolic syndrome is a group of conditions that include excess weight (especially around the waist); 2) high blood pressure and high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood; 3) obesity; 4) pregnancy; 5) infection or severe illness; 6) stress; 7) steroid use. **Insulin resistance symptoms** Insulin resistance often does not cause any visible symptoms, especially in the early stages. We could be insulin resistant for years without knowing it, especially if our blood glucose levels are not checked. Some people with insulin resistance may develop a condition known as acanthosis nigricans. This condition creates dark spots on the back of the neck, groin and underarms. It also puts them at higher risk of type 2 diabetes. There is no cure for acanthosis, but if the causes are treated, some of the natural skin color can return. Insulin resistance can damage blood vessels without being understood. This can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. If someone has insulin resistance, then they are at a significant risk for the progression of the condition to diabetes. The symptoms of type 2 diabetes can be mild, so it is not known until the doctor does diagnostic tests. **Insulin resistance - treatment** Lifestyle changes are important in the treatment of insulin resistance, namely, reduction of sugar and carbohydrate intake. Treatment for insulin resistance involves a variety of medications to supplement lifestyle changes. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the foundation of management for insulin resistance, and lifestyle changes begin at home. By changing the diet, and especially the carbohydrates in the diet, the body can reduce the amount of insulin produced by the pancreas. Carbohydrates are absorbed in the body after they are broken down into their constituent sugars. Some carbohydrates break down and are absorbed faster than others and are said to have a high glycemic index. These carbohydrates increase blood glucose levels faster and require more insulin secretion to control blood glucose levels. Several studies have shown that weight loss and aerobic exercise (without weight loss) increase the rate at which blood glucose is taken up by muscle cells as a result of improved cell sensitivity to insulin. Medical treatment can be used as an adjunct to lifestyle changes and should be discussed as an option with our doctor. **Insulin resistance and pregnancy** Pregnant women who have never had diabetes before, but who have high blood glucose levels during pregnancy, are said to have gestational diabetes. It is not known what causes gestational diabetes, but researchers have some clues. The placenta supports the baby as it grows. Hormones from the placenta will help the baby develop. But these hormones also block the action of the mother's insulin in her body. This problem is called insulin resistance. Insulin resistance makes it difficult for the mother's body to use insulin. It may need up to three times as much insulin. Gestational diabetes begins when your body is unable to produce and use all the insulin necessary for pregnancy. Without enough insulin, glucose cannot leave the blood and be converted into energy. Glucose accumulates in the blood due to high levels. This is called hyperglycaemia. This is a short text about insulin resistance. Maybe this information will mean something to someone. `Take care of your health!` *Greetings!* Your @MarijaJak

Artificial intelligence in supermarkets We've been reading a lot about artificial intelligence lately. It is present in almost all spheres of social life. To be honest, I am frightened by the fact that artificial intelligence does not go too far, and that human life loses the meaning of life on Earth. That's how artificial intelligence appeared in supermarkets, and you consider whether it is necessary in human life at all. Retailers are increasingly using artificial intelligence to anticipate or encourage consumers to buy. Now more and more retail chains are using artificial intelligence - software systems that can learn for themselves - to try to automatically predict and encourage our very specific desires and purchases like never before. Retail consultant Daniel Burke, of Blick Rothenberg, calls this "**the holy grail**" of building customer profiles and suggesting a product to her before she realizes she wants one. So, the next time you go to the local store to buy some snacks and a specific wine on Friday night, maybe you can blame that decision on the artificial intelligence and the computer that found out all about you. And it can also offer what it calls a “hyper-personalized offering,” such as cheaper wine on a Friday night. The share of these applications remains low, but it is growing all the time, partly thanks to the coronary virus pandemic, which made people reluctant to touch the shelves or stand in lines. In Germany, a Berlin startup called SO1 is doing similar things with its own artificial intelligence system for retail outlets. He claims that nine times more people buy goods suggested by artificial intelligence than those offered by traditional promotions, even when the discounts are 30 percent lower. Getting offers for goods you might actually want to buy instead of random coupons is great for customers. However, it must exist caution about the huge amount of information that is collected about people. People like to be recommended products, but they begin to feel uncomfortable when they are led or manipulated to buy specific things based on a caricature of who they are, instead of the complete complexity of their personality. In fact, we have to ask ourselves how fair and ethical just data collection is. For example, are some middle-class women offered a discount on fresh vegetables, but not someone else who could really benefit from it? What we really need to understand is what impact data collection and profiling have on different sectors of society. Is profiling based on race, socioeconomic status, sexuality? Online giant Amazon is no stranger to data collection. He owns vast amounts of customer data based on their online purchases, and through his products such as Ring Bells and Echo Speakers. He is now moving into physical retail, with physical hole shops full of computer visual technology aided by artificial intelligence. This means that in its Amazon Go stores, which currently operate in 27 locations in the United States, people can shop without interacting with people or cash registers. They just drag the smartphone over the scanner when they enter the supermarket, take what they want to buy and just go out. Artificial intelligence, of course, observes them and sends them a bill in the end. The first Amazon Go stores were located in small locations, due to the cost of sensors and necessary equipment, but the company is gradually expanding to larger stores. After this information I found out recently, I wonder if artificial intelligence will know more about us than we know about ourselves. It remains for us to adapt, and decide for ourselves whether we will use the mentioned applications of artificial intelligence ... I wish you a nice day and the upcoming weekend! Greeting! Your @MarijaJak !

Electromagnetic weapons Good evening dear friends! I want to share with you some information you may have heard about in the news. Namely, these are weapons that Chinese troops used to force Indian soldiers to withdraw during the conflict on the border between the two countries in the Himalayas. In fact, a Chinese electromagnetic weapon can literally cook human tissue because it works on the same principle as a microwave oven and heats everything in its range. It heats water molecules under human skin and causes huge pains, which become bigger and bigger, and can reach the target at a distance of about a kilometer. Chinese troops drove out Indian soldiers without firing a single bullet. Thus, they did not violate the agreement between the two countries, according to which in the event of a conflict between the border forces around that mountainous territory, firearms must not be used. This is considered to be the first publicly announced use of electromagnetic weapons in real conflict. The mentioned electromagnetic weapons were used at the end of August this year, when the two countries that also have nuclear weapons clashed in the area of the mountain passes of the Himalayas. At least 20 Indian soldiers were killed in that clash, while Beijing did not announce the number of victims on the Chinese side. It was the fiercest conflict between India and China for the last more than half a century. **Whose disputed territory is it?** Both of these Asian countries claim to be claiming territory along the 3,500km Himalayan border, one of the longest land in the world, but there have been largely no armed incidents since the 1962 war. The dividing line runs between the Chinese-controlled Aksai Qin area and the rest of the disputed Jammu and Kashmir region. This general line of demarcation is the result of the mentioned work, but there is no agreement on its length and where exactly it passes. China considers Aksai Qin to be part of its Xinjiang region, and India to be part of its Ladakh region. China believes that it owns a territory of 90 thousand square kilometers in northeastern India, which includes the Indian federal state of Arunachal Pradesh, in which the majority is a Buddhist population. India, on the other hand, claims that China has occupied 38 thousand square kilometers of its territory in the western part of the Himalayas. By the way, the idea that guided the constructors of this weapon is to provoke the boiling of molecular water under the skin with the help of microwaves, and the Americans constructed this weapon at first with the intention of breaking up demonstrations. Nikola Tesla wrote about all this 100 years ago. At the base of Tesla's sketches for weapons is a beam of electrons. The Americans put it in Hammer, which has an antenna, which looks like an ordinary radar antenna. However, it is not a radar, but a weapon with an electron beam and is called ADS - active denial system. The system acts on people conditionally without injuries. The basic idea was to make a weapon that is not deadly, but that will chase the enemy. The weapon consists of a vacuum source of electrons, which are sent in the direction of an ordinary antenna mirror, with the help of which they are electronically focused and reflected into a focused beam on the target. The focus can be wider or narrower, but is usually forty to fifty meters. Although they all hide the range of electromagnetic weapons, the ranges are relatively short. Chinese weapons, if they acted on a larger number of troops, also had a slightly larger range. The beam travels at the speed of light and penetrates the skin very little, two to three millimeters, approximately. It causes the temperature of water molecules in the body to rise and a person has a feeling of burning. The temperature rises to 130 Fahrenheit and that electron pulse lasts up to two seconds. When you push your finger into water that is about 60 degrees warm, which is about 130 Fahrenheit, you feel baked. However, if the temperature is so high under the skin, you feel that you are burning and then there is a general flight, because the skin temperature rises to 60 degrees in a maximum of two seconds. This is a huge difference in relation to body temperature. The action of the beam for more than two seconds, for example up to ten seconds, would lead to complete drying of the skin and burning of the body. For me, this information is very scary! I don't like it when I hear that people are suffering in conflicts. I hope you read something new in my post. Greetings from your @MarijaJak ! 19.11.2020. (2.11 am)

A Montenegrin who defeated a Japanese samurai Aleksandar Lekso Saicic lived at the end of the 19th century. An incredible story is recorded from his life about how he once defeated a samurai in a duel. **Where did the samurai in the story of the Montenegrin come from?** At the beginning of his career, Aleksandar Saicic was an adjutant of the Vasojevic Brigade. However, the Balkans soon became small for him. He first went to Istanbul, and then to Manchuria, where he joined the Russian army and received the rank of lieutenant. There he was caught in the Russo-Japanese war in 1904. Before the end of the war in distant Manchuria, Aleksandar Saicic got the opportunity to prove and show himself once again. There, the news was waiting for him that the Japanese emperor was looking for someone who would go out on the square to the famous and undefeated samurai. The Russian generals were in shock. It was the 20th century. Did anyone else respect that long-forgotten and, it was considered, outdated tradition? Still, rejecting the request would mean admitting defeat. And again, when to send in a duel against an experienced and in fencing surely the most powerful samurai? It so happened that the commander of the Russian army was looking for a volunteer who would come out on the line to the Japanese fighter. Aleksandar Lekso Saicic was among the first to apply. He received permission and apparently went to the battlefield in front of the great imperial armies. **A duel from a fairy tale** Eyewitness stories say that the duel was strong, and watching it is almost unreal. Both fighters bumped into each other in a flash, receiving blows and alternately repelling. The fight between the samurai and the Montenegrin was a fight between two ways of warfare, a conflict of two traditions that can only be seen today in historical films. At one point, a samurai brushed against Aleksandar Saicic's face. Thinking that the Montenegrin was finished, the Japanese fighter launched an open attack. At that moment, Saicic escaped, waved his sword and cut down the samurai. Leaving the battlefield, Aleksandar Saicic paid tribute to the killed fighter, bowing to the body. His victory inflicted a great moral defeat on the Japanese army, which watched Megdan intently. On the other hand, Saicic was greeted as a great hero, and there was general celebration and joy in the ranks of the Russian army. **What happened to Aleksandar Saicic?** Congratulations on the victory to Saicic came from all Russian generals, but also from the admiral of the Japanese fleet of Togo, who was amazed by the skill and demonstrated chivalry of the Montenegrin hero. The saber with which Aleksandar Lekso Saicic defeated the samurai is kept today in the Military Museum in Moscow. After the Russo-Japanese war in which, ironically, Russia was defeated, Aleksandar Lekso Saicic returned to his native Montenegro and to military service. He died in 1911 from the consequences of jumping from the second floor of the burning royal court in Cetinje. The story goes that he saved the rich treasury that was there. **He was a knight, a fighter and a hero to the end.** I hope you liked this text about the Montenegrin hero! I salute you!

Zona Zamfirova ,,**Zona Zamfirova**“ is a book that generations grow up with. What is the secret of her popularity? Why, even a hundred years after the first edition, are theater plays, television series, feature films and musicals staged, and why are they, as a rule, hits of their time? How did a generally accepted, national work emerge from a conventional plot about two young people, separated by class differences, who find peace in a marital port after numerous love affairs? Because the work is not a topic but the way it is interpreted. ,,**Zona Zamfirova“ is a literary work by the Serbian writer Stevan Sremac**. The plot of the novel takes place at the end of the 19th century in Nis. It is a story about the love of a girl and a boy who come from different social strata, so that love is neither simple nor easily achievable. Although written a long time ago, this novel resembles today's romantic comedies where in the end love always wins. Two young people who love each other, regardless of class, wealth, outdated customs and the wishes and intentions of others, end up together. The novel begins with a description of the main heroine who is admired by everyone in Nis. The Zone is so beautiful that a song was even sung about it. All the young men were in love with her, including the young goldsmith Mane, who was old enough to get married. Although Mane liked Zona, she was the landlord's daughter, so she didn't want to show it. After Zona finally admitted her feelings for Manet, their aunts and other relatives intervened. Manet's aunt asked for Zona for him, but her aunts were against it because he was a craftsman. They wanted to marry Zona to some rich and respectable guy. The zone was forced to tell Manet that he was not for her, while her father, Haji-Zamfir, spread bad stories about him in the bazaar. In order to take revenge, Mane faked Zona's marriage to another in front of people. He set everything up so that it looked as if she had run away from home to get married, even though she was actually in the house the whole time. In the bazaar, they interpreted all this as if Haji-Zamfir had immediately found the Zone and forcibly returned it home. Stories about Zona's shame spread very quickly in the place, so a new song was even sung. Her father and aunts tried in various ways to correct the situation, but they did not succeed. While everyone was enjoying Zona's shame, Mane was unhappy deep down because he still loved Zona. The zone was getting sadder and sadder, and that was especially hard for her father. In the end, however, he decided to give in, so he went to Manet and advised him to come and beg Zona. For a long time, even among learned people, it was not known that Stevan Sremac wrote his best work on the basis of a true event that took place in Pristina at the end of the 19th century. Sremac heard the whole story from Branislav Nusic, who in 1895 was the Serbian consul in Pristina. After arriving from Pristina one summer evening on Kalemegdan, Nusic, on a walk, told everything to Sremcu. Sremac was delighted and asked a friend to let him process this story. The only condition that Nusic said was not to mention Pristina in part, because he drank a lot of good coffee in the house of Chorbadji Zamfir! Sremac replied: "I will take your Zone to my beautiful Nis. Not even her own father will recognize her there. " By the way, in real life, after the "scandal", Zona married a poor and handsome young man, tailor Aleksa Grbić. The young couple Alex and Zona moved immediately to Prizren where they gave birth to three sons and two daughters. The Zona then moved to Ferizaj with his family, and during the occupation in 1943, he came to Belgrade. She first settled in Resnik, then in Zvezdara, and finally in Ulica 27. marta broj 89. She spent her old age silently and quietly until 1952, when the truth about the Zone was discovered. In the same year, during the time of the manager Rasa Plaovic, the play Zona Zamfirova was staged at the National Theater. The zone, in traditional costume, with the inevitable trousers, attended the premiere in the second row. She died in 1952, shortly after the premiere of the play, at the age of 75, and was buried in the New Cemetery in Belgrade. It is still written on her grave: "**This is where Zona Zamfirova rests**." If you liked the story of Zona Zamfirova, you can find a film of the same name based on the mentioned novel on the Internet. The film directed by Zdravko Sotra. The film was shot in Serbian, but you can definitely find an English subtitles. Thanks for reading this article! I send you a big greeting! Your @MarijaJak wishes you good night and beautiful dreams! 17.11.2020.

Everyone in world has duplicate *How many times have you been compared to someone and they said you look the same as another person? Or have you met someone who reminds you very much of someone else, or are you sure you know them from before even though you never actually met them?* They say that everyone in the world has at least one duplicate, and there can be as many as six. **But is it possible that each of us has a duplicate?** There is a certain probability for that, scientists believe, because the number of genes that affect facial characteristics, no matter how large, is still limited. "If you shuffle the deck of cards many times, you'll be able to get the same combination of cards twice. However, the deck of cards is incredibly extensive in the case of the human face," said Michael Sheehan, a professor of neurobiology at Cornell University. Scientists currently have no idea how many genes play a role in establishing, for example, the shape of the face or the space between the eyes. The larger the human population, the more likely it is that someone like you will be found somewhere on the planet. In the past, while people produced offspring within closed groups and peoples, it was easier to generate mutations and establish differences in physical characteristics, which were then established so much that they became the characteristics of certain ethnic groups. Today, however, members of one group have children with members of nations they have not even met in the past, even with people from different continents. In that way, people of all races and from all parts of the body combine their genes, and thanks to that, the "duplicate effect" is both stronger and, paradoxically, diluted. On the one hand, the more people, the more likely it is that 2 people will look the same, and on the other hand, it also increases the number of gene combinations. It should be borne in mind, however, that the human population has grown significantly, from one billion at the beginning of the 20th century to the number of more than 7 billion people in the 21st century. There is one interesting page where if you want to find your duplicate, visit the "I Look Like You" page, where you can also find out the location of your duplicate. Namely, on this page you can attach your photo and the comparison service will do its job. Based on all the photos, they will find the person who looks most like you. Of course, this service is purely entertaining. This page also offers the option to view similarities among other people. Your duplicate can look like you in a smaller or larger percentage, and at the same time you can play around and compare with which famous person you have the most similarities. The whole idea came from stories about security services. Initially, the services used face recognition to help search for criminals. The authors of the site where you can see what your duplicate looks like decided to create a website at a time when users have uploaded more than 100,000 photos. Now, in this article, I will post pictures of celebrities and their duplicate. You will be surprised how similar they actually are. Thanks to the Universe! There are two **George Clooney**! They are identical, only one lives in Hollywood and is married, while the other lives in Turkey ... The lady who looks like the twin **Julie Roberts**, is really lucky. Who wouldn't love to look like a Hollywood beauty! Nikolai from Russia is literally Russian **Harry Potter**! It’s hard to find a difference between Daniel Radcliffe and him. No, these are not two photos of **Morgan Freeman**. This is Morgan Freemen and his duplicate. Actresses **Natalie Portman** and **Keira Knightley** are so similar that their mothers sometimes mixed them up during the filming of "Star Wars". American actor **Will Ferrell** and drummer of the music group "Red Hot Chili Peppers" **Chad Smith** look so much that Ferrell also recorded a fun sketch on the topic of their physical resemblance, and their fans often approach the wrong star. There are other celebrities who have found their doubles, such as Novak Djokovic, Angelina Jolie, etc. (All images downloaded from images.google.com) *I haven't found my duplica yet.* *Would I really like to meet another self? Apart from the great similarity in physical appearance, do we perhaps have any similar characteristics?* *Did you find it?* I hope you enjoyed my post. If so, like it, and write in the comment if you have a duplicate ... I send you a big greeting! Your @MarijaJak ! 16.11.2020. (1.32 am)

Micellar water *What is micellar water? Which one to choose?* It’s getting more and more popular, and you’re not sure what it’s for? I will try to give you the answers in this article. Read on to find out why your skin needs it. ***Micellar water is not a lotion or milk for removing makeup. It is water of neutral PH value in which micelles swim.*** It is named after the small oily molecules (micelles) that are obtained from natural sugars. One end of these molecules is hydrophilic and attracts water, while the other is lipophilic, ie. attracts oils and fat particles and dissolves them. *****Micelles act as a magnet that attracts all impurities from the face.***** Micellar water is special in that it combines the freshness of pure water (does not contain calcium, magnesium and metal cations) and the effectiveness of makeup remover oil. Combined into one product, these two ingredients enable the removal of grease mixed with impurities and the thorough erasure of even waterproof make-up. It does not irritate the skin and does not need to be rinsed. **What is micellar water for?** As it has a calming effect, micellar water is especially appreciated by women who are looking for a mild cleanser for facial skin. Formulated without soap, often odorless, it allows the pH value to be maintained, which is suitable for all skin types. A gentleness that does not diminish its cleansing power is a quality that especially emphasizes it. Makeup foundation, waterproof mascara, permanent lipstick, no problem - this water is fresh and mild removes everything and suits all women. It is especially suitable for those who are too busy and do not have much time for their daily routine. Today, there are a large number of different brands so you can always choose the one that suits you. The popularity of this product is supported by the fact that cosmetic companies have developed a whole range of these products intended for different target groups. Thus, there is baby micellar water for cleansing sensitive children's skin, bio micellar water that is certified as completely natural, as well as through various brands of this product. Almost every cosmetic house has its own micellar water. It is especially useful when we find ourselves in a situation such as a trip, camping and the like where there is no water available, it is enough to have a bottle of your favorite micellar water and a couple of cotton swabs. *****It is not a mistake to wash yourself after cleansing your face with micellar water, but I leave that choice to you.***** **What is the composition of micellar** **water**? The main constituent of micellar water are micelles, tiny, oily molecule scavengers that are immersed in water. These particles have the ability to attract grease and dirt particles. The water in which the micelles swim is soft water, neutral PH values and does not contain residues of heavy metals, chlorine and the like. Water and micelles are the two main ingredients, in addition to this, and depending on the manufacturer and the type of skin for which it is intended, micellar water usually contains citric acid, glycerin, rose water extract, essential oils… *****A good product must have all the ingredients on the label written precisely. Choose sulfate-free ones.***** **How is micellar water used?** Facial cleansing has never been easier. Pour a few drops of micellar water on a cotton swab so that it is moist. You run a damp swab over your face. You will see the dirt and remnants of makeup that have passed from your face to the tuff. To remove mascara, hold a soaked swab for a few seconds on the eyelid and then gently wipe down over the lashes. You can have clean skin anywhere and at any time of the day with the help of micellar water. Don't worry, it doesn't have to replace the complete facial hygiene you're used to, but it will add one big plus. We give you a few suggestions on how to add this preparation to your daily routine. **Morning facial cleansing** The person should be washed at least twice a day. Although we think that our face is relatively clean in the morning because we thoroughly removed the makeup the night before and all the impurities, the water alone will not be enough because it does not dissolve fat. Morning washing is important to remove the fat that the skin produces during the night. We need a product that will deeply degrease the pores. Micellar water is a quick and gentle way to enter a new day with a fresh radiant face that will not glow until breakfast. The skin will not be dry and tight. **Makeup removal** You can use micellar water to remove makeup. You can get rid of a dozen different bottles, because now this one product is enough. Prepare your face for the night quickly, easily and without aggressive rubbing. Clean pores without fat and makeup residue are the most important condition for night revitalization of facial skin. Pay special attention to the area around the eyes. **Clean your face after training** Since cleansing your face with micellar water does not require you to have running water, this is a great way to remove sweat and impurities from your face after a gym or fitness trip. This is very important so that sweat and sebum do not mix and clog the pores and also because the circulation after training is the best and the skin needs to be ensured that it can breathe. *****You can't overdo cleansing your face with micellar water.***** **Did you know that micellar water was invented in Paris a few decades ago?** The water there was hard and aggressive to the delicate skin of the face. The Parisians needed washing water that would thoroughly cleanse and nourish the face at the same time. Thanks to them, women around the world today enjoy the benefits of this product. In the sea of different preparations, it is important to choose micellar water that does not contain metals and dangerous preservatives. Choose a product for dry and sensitive, normal or oily skin! I hope you found this article interesting and useful. Be beautiful, take care of and nourish your skin! I wish you a nice weekend! Greetings from @MarijaJak 13.11.2020. (1.24 am)

The mystery of Kalachi - a place where you can easily fall asleep The whole world now knows about Kalachi (каз****.**** ***Калачи)*** a village that in Soviet times was not even drawn on geographical maps, because the inhabitants of this mysterious place were hit by an epidemic - sleeping. https://sr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%B0%D0%B7%D0%B0%D1%88%D0%BA%D0%B8_%D1%98%D0%B5%D0%B7%D0%B8%D0%BA Four decades ago, the village of Kalachi in Kazakhstan was a real little paradise on earth. The place was full of flowers and greenery, next to the beautiful buildings there were numerous fountains, local shops were full of the best imported goods, which then you could not find even in the largest cities of the Soviet Union. The villagers wore Yugoslav leather shoes, which even famous Moscow actresses could only dream of! Kalachi residents bought new cars every 2-3 years. At that time, many Soviet citizens could not afford a car for the rest of their lives. That paradise was not marked on the map. The village of Kalachi was a secret place because there was a uranium mine near it, where the majority of the population worked. In the past 30 years, life in Kalachi has changed. The village no longer looks like a paradise, but resembles a decoration for a horror movie: instead of flowers, there is a desert here, instead of beautiful buildings, there are ruins, dried fountains are full of garbage. Out of almost 7,000 inhabitants who lived in Kalachi and the "annexed" small town of Krasnogorsk, only 700 people remained. The dark ambience hides a dark secret. In Kalachi, the medieval legend of the Sleeping Beauty turned into reality. Many villagers have fallen victim to a mysterious epidemic - sleep. In broad daylight, people suddenly fall asleep: someone faints at work, someone falls asleep while walking, someone starts snoring in the middle of a conversation. When they come to their senses, people act like they are drunk. Ljubov Beljkova was the first victim of this disease. On April 9, 2010, they fainted in the market. Doctors placed her in resuscitation, and she slept there for 4 days. When she came to, she couldn't think of anything. After 4 months, she fell asleep again for a few days, after another 3 months - again. And so she experienced a total of 7 attacks of that disease. Almost every time, doctors diagnosed him with a stroke. How many strokes can a woman experience? People with such a diagnosis are usually paralyzed, but she was not paralyzed. Soon after the first case, other residents of Kalachi began to fall asleep. But village doctors continued to claim that it was a stroke or vodka. Some of the symptoms of the disease are reminiscent of alcohol poisoning. The man staggers, loses orientation, speaks incoherently. That is why it is easy to be misled. When the mysterious syndrome began to affect small children, doctors were forced to admit - this is not about alcohol. Children have the hardest time with this disease. Many children hallucinate and become very aggressive when they wake up. Sometimes doctors are forced to tie small patients to the bed because they become dangerous primarily for themselves. It is unbearable to see sick children hallucinate, mothers say. One child shouts that there are many snakes in the bed, another asks why light bulbs fly around the room, a third cries that worms have eaten his hands, a fourth says that he sees a trunk and eight eyes on his mother's face… In September 2014, seven students fainted in front of the school at the same time. It became clear that Kalachi was an epidemic. Village doctors sought help from colleagues from the capital. An examination of patients from Kalachi was conducted in Astana. The victims of the unknown disease were given a new diagnosis: "encephalopathy of unknown cause". None of the peasants knew exactly what that meant. However, in Kalachi and Krasnogorsk, where there are a total of about 700 inhabitants, 157 cases of the mysterious disease were officially recorded. Some residents have already "slept" several times. In addition, the animals began to faint. **Theory of three elements** As for men, many of them feel uncontrolled sexual desire when they come to themselves. A series of strange symptoms confused scientists. Experts were trying to find out the cause of the epidemic. Initially, a viral or bacterial infection was suspected, but this theory has not been proven. However, this case reminded scientists of the epidemic of lethargic encephalitis, which affected many people in Europe and America from 1915 to 1926. The patients suddenly fell into a sleepy state, which resembled lethargy. Doctors then assumed that it was a virus, but they could not identify it. The cause of the disease was never found. The epidemic of lethargic encephalitis in 1927 ended abruptly on its own. Then, one interesting detail was presented - experts suggested that Hitler was also infected with this type of disease. According to the doctor, lethargic encephalitis caused harmful changes in the Führer's brain, which played a crucial role in making his decisions. As for Kalachi, scientists have not been able to find any virus that could be "to blame" for the epidemic in that village. So they decided to draw attention to the **uranium** mine, which is located near Kalachi. After a detailed research, experts from the Kazakhstan Nuclear Center stated that radiation is definitely not the "trigger" of the disease because its level near the mine is within the norm. After that, the scientists found the "main suspect" - radon gas, which erupts to the surface from the depths of the mine and has a toxic effect similar to narcotics. In Kalachi, they noticed an increased concentration of radon, but the theory that this gas poisons the locals was eventually rejected. Experts from Moscow and Prague concluded that radon did not cause sleeping sickness. More than 7,000 analyzes were conducted in Kalachi, but experts were unable to find anything unusual, except for the increased concentration of carbon monoxide in some areas. According to experts, wood stoves and stoves are "responsible" for the increased concentration of carbon monoxide. This theory explains why people suddenly fall asleep, but not why they hallucinate. Can carbon dioxide cause hallucinations? They assume that this is the third element. It is most likely one of the saturated hydrocarbons, for example methane or propane. The wave of the sleep epidemic begins at the very moment when three factors coincide: low oxygen concentration, increased level of carbon monoxide and excess hydrocarbons. The Kazakh government has officially accepted the "three elements" theory. Officials said: the mystery has been solved, the case is closed. But for the inhabitants of Kalachi, this theory is - suspicious. People assume that scientists simply do not have enough sensitive devices for research, and believe that the real cause of the disease has not yet been found. Some residents have already moved to other places. Others, who do not have money for a new house, are anxiously waiting for spring.

How to boost Wi-Fi signal A wireless network is convenient because it allows one device to cover a certain area with a Wi-Fi signal, but it is by no means an ideal solution. Often in such situations there are so-called. blind spots to which the signal does not reach for some reason. These can be parts of the room behind a few thick walls, a space on the floor where a wireless router is not installed, and similar things. The simplest solution is to place the wireless router or modem at a central point in space, but even then it is not possible to always cover all the "holes" in signal reception. Fortunately, there are ways to amplify the signal for free, or with a small investment, enough to provide normal Internet access from every corner. The first, free way, is to place a conical barrier covered with **aluminum foil** on one side of the router antenna. Although this seems ridiculous, in practice it works, because the signals are reflected from the aluminum and directed in a certain direction. The disadvantage is that the signal weakens in the direction behind the aluminum foil. If you want to amplify the signal in all directions, there are two solutions. **The first** is to place the antenna upright if you are not. They are designed to propagate the signal perpendicular to the antenna axis (at an angle of 75 to 105 degrees). If the antenna is placed horizontally, the signal will spread vertically (on the floors), and in case it is placed vertically, the signal will spread horizontally. **Another solution** is to purchase an external Wi-Fi antenna. Such antennas do not cost much (from 10 to 20 euros), but they can effectively increase the signal range. You can install an external antenna if the original antenna on your router is not fixed to the chassis, or if it can be unscrewed. Simply replace the antenna and the signal will be amplified. The reason is that standard antennas on routers usually have a gain of up to 3 dBm, while external antennas that can be purchased on our market have a gain of 5 to 9 dBm. You won't amplify the signal exactly two or three times, but you will certainly get enough amplification to get a stable and solidly strong wireless signal. An even **more efficient**, albeit slightly more expensive way is to purchase a Wi-Fi repeater. Their purpose is to take the signal from the router and to repeat and amplify it, thus effectively increasing its rank. This solution is especially effective in houses that have multiple floors, where the router is placed on one floor, and Wi-Fi repeaters on all the others. Unlike the previous methods, this is not a plug-and-play solution, because it requires configuring the repeater, but you don't have to worry. It is a simple enough operation that (almost) anyone can perform it. Such devices cost from 25 to 70 euros. Of course, you need to protect your internet Wi-Fi network with a password, so that you are not in a situation where someone is connected to your Internet and thus slow down your internet speed. If you have problems with the Wi-Fi signal, try some of these tips. I am sure that at least one of the mentioned ways will amplify the signal in your home enough, that you can use it in every corner, even in the farthest corner. After these tips, I want you to use your internet connection to relax with some interesting movie or some nice music. Greetings from @MarijaJak ! 11.11.2020. (20.41 pm)

With this bacterium from Earth, it can be mined on Mars or the Moon! Experiments performed on the International Space Station suggest that bacteria from Earth could be used to extract useful minerals on the Moon or Mars. Microorganisms are already used on Earth to extract economically important elements from rocks, including rare elements used in mobile phones and electronics. So-called bio-mining, or bio-mining, is the process of extracting metals from ores or waste using microorganisms to oxidize metals, producing soluble compounds. Scientists from Great Britain spent 10 years in the development of biomeiner reactors the size of a matchbox for an experiment. Eighteen devices were transported to the International Space Station by the SpaceX rocket in July 2019. Small pieces of basalt, similar to a large part of the material on the surface of the Moon and Mars, were inserted into the devices and soaked in a bacterial solution. The three-week experiment included the potential of three types of bacteria to extract rare elements from basalt. Only one, Sphingomonas desiccabilis, has succeeded in leaching rare earth elements from basalt in all three different gravitational conditions - microgravity (sometimes called zero gravity), Martian gravity and under standard conditions on Earth. The findings of the study, published in the journal Nature Communications, show that biomining on the Moon and Mars could be possible. According to Charles Kockel, a professor of astrobiology at the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh who led the project, it is unlikely that it would be economically viable to excavate these elements in space and return them to Earth. However, he said that space biomaining could potentially support a self-sustaining human presence in space. He said the experiments support the scientific and technical feasibility of biologically enhanced mining of elements through the solar system. He also noted that their results suggest that the construction of robotic mines located in the lunar region Oceanus Procellarum, which has rocks rich in concentrations of rare earth elements, could be a fruitful direction of scientific and economic development of man outside the Earth. If you liked this article about this amazing discovery, like the post, and you can leave your opinion in the comments. I wish you a pleasant and beautiful day!

"Smart" spoons change the taste ... We are witnessing great advances in technology, in robotics, and every day we hear about a new discovery in these areas ... But did you know that the reach of modern technology has gone so far that today we have "smart spoons“ that can change the taste of what we eat, but also a "smart tablecloth“ that can previously recognize what is served to us? The spoon called SpoonTEK is the work of startup Taste Boosters. Its creators point out that it is able to enhance the taste of food, which means that while you eat it, your snacks become tastier. The "work" of the spoon is based on the principle of electrical conductivity and works so that the food comes into contact with the electrode on the spoon. The user's fingers also come in contact with the electrode, located in the handle, so a mild electric current reaches the food, then passes to the tongue and palate, and finally reaches the taste receptors. The whole process changes, that is, intensifies and improves the taste of food, which stays in the mouth even longer. The creators of the spoon point out that it gives the best effects with less fatty and less caloric food. The better taste of food is a consequence of a mild electric shock when the user does not feel it, but which affects the brain, ie the perception of the taste itself. A spoon can be ordered online and costs $ 45. The main disadvantage of this "device" is that the battery cannot be replaced, which means that once it is used up, it will become an ordinary spoon. When you already have a smart spoon, why not serve your meal of enhanced taste on a ,,smart tablecloth“ made of a fabric that can recognize food. The fabric called Capacitivo is a product of the joint work of experts from Microsoft and several universities, and it is able to recognize other objects by touch, in addition to food. The fabric uses machine learning to determine the shape of the object and the material from when it was made through a network of electrodes. The basic idea was to make a tablecloth that would be a help in the kitchen, by connecting it with an application that, based on what is on the table, could suggest a recipe for making a meal. In addition, the app would also serve as a kind of reminder, so it could remind you to wash the dishes you left on the table after lunch or remind you to bring the headphones you left on the table when you go outside. However, there is still work to be done on the smart fabric, since it is still not able to recognize metal, as well as those square-shaped objects. And when one day it is perfected, the smart fabric could serve as a kind of scanning device, but also to completely eliminate the current smart kitchen scales. https://youtu.be/EujUBdnWik4 Well, in the era of smart devices and phones, there are also smart spoons, and they may make you eat soup-prepared dishes, if you are not a fan of such flavors ... With a smart spoon, change the taste, and enjoy ... But, I have to admit, that I would still stay true to the spoons we have used so far ...

Genes are a miracle ... Eyes color, curly hair, height, chin hole, nose shape - these are the most common associations with what we inherit from birth. However, there are other things we can inherit from our parents that are not visible at first glance. In addition to physical characteristics and appearance, some diseases can be inherited from birth, but also characteristic features. Everything that is passed from generation to generation is transmitted thanks to a dominant gene that carries certain traits. *In this article, I will write some traits that* *we inherit from our parents* ... **Intelligence** When a child will inherit intelligence depends on gender. Daughters, experts say, inherit intelligence from both parents, and sons from mothers, but only 40 percent, while the rest of the intelligence is acquired during life. **Tooth quality** What quality of teeth a child will have depends exclusively on male genes, and the same goes for mental and coronary diseases. **Obesity** Whether a child will be obese depends exclusively on the mother, because children inherit her metabolism - if she is obese, the chances are higher that the children will also be obese. **Height** In terms of height, the father's genes are more dominant, and here's one interesting thing. If you have a son, take the mother's height, add the father's, and then another five centimeters to that amount. Divide the sum by two and you get the height of your son. If you have a daughter, add the height of the father to the mother's height and subtract 13 from the sum. Divide by 2 and you get your daughter's height. **Hair and eyes** Hair and eyes color are inherited in almost the same way. Parents with light eyes and light hair will most likely have a child with these physical characteristics, and dark-eyed parents - a child with dark eyes. Exceptions are rare, but it also happens. It is enough for one parent to have curly hair in order for it to be passed on to the child, considering that curly hair is carried by the dominant gene. **Lips** Fuller lips are usually inherited from dad. Although this is not a health problem, on the contrary, it is interesting to know this kind of information. **Sense of humor** Parents who have a sense of humor usually raise children who will later surpass them in that. As far as is known, it is a trait that is more often inherited from the father. **Gender** Only the father can influence the gender of the child. Women have XX chromosomes, and men are carriers of XY chromosomes. Depending on whether the sperm carries the X or Y chromosome, the child can be male or female. The chromosome that dominates the father's sperm creates a combination of chromosomes that determine the gender of the child. **Color blindness** The inability to distinguish between certain colors is often something that a person inherits through genes. The gene responsible for this is often inherited from sons by their mothers. In most cases, men are the ones who suffer from color blindness. This is due to the fact of their genetic makeup, the existence of a defect on the only maternal X chromosome that cannot be compensated, while women in turn have a second X chromosome from their fathers that successfully compensates for the deficiency. **Premature entry into puberty** Puberty and everything that comes with it, like acne, cracking of the voice, or the arrival of the first menstruation, are among what each of us goes through on the path of growing up. Both parents' genetics affect when the changes will begin, but if puberty begins early, before the age of eight in girls and the ninth in boys, it may be due to inherited genes from the father, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed. In particular, they discovered that the genetic mutation that leads to premature puberty comes from the father. *I hope you enjoyed reading this article ...* *I send you a big greeting!* Your @MarijaJak

Contracted or out of love ... Marriages are based on love ... Most of us think so ... However, in the 21st century, there are marriages based on "supply" and "demand" ... Arranged marriages Reasons for arranged marriages can be of economic nature such as. the feeling that our biological clock is ticking, "papers", bad financial situation ... Research shows that arranged marriages are more stable than those where people chose a partner on their own. Getting married in the phase of falling in love has shortcomings and it is not advised without reason not to make such important decisions as the choice of a partner "for life" during that period. It is estimated that every other marriage in the world is still arranged. In India, where as much as 90 percent of marriages are arranged, the divorce rate is the lowest in the world. What does that tell us? Are these couples happier or just have no choice? Is a contracted marriage necessarily a marriage without love? What can we learn from him? What were the good and what were the bad sides? Marriage for money? We never know what someone’s true reasons are and we can’t “put everyone who gets married for economic reasons in the same basket”. Why are prejudices about people entering into marriage due to financial security, while it is much milder to look at a marriage in which people have stopped loving each other over time, insulting, arguing, and persistently staying in it? Fear of loneliness We often hear that people have already come to some years, have achieved in other fields, but for fear of being left alone, they choose to marry the person who is currently next to them. Is a marriage stable if the reason for entering into a marital union is to have children? There are many people who decide to marry because of offspring. It happens that after a divorce, people say that next time they will marry someone exclusively to have children. There are actually two key relationships between spouses who have children - partnership and parenthood. * * * * * Love is important for marriage, but it is not enough in itself for a good marriage. Just as love for the work we do is not enough to go to work on those days when we would rather stay in bed, or to be good and successful in what we do. It takes commitment and responsibility (which we have chosen voluntarily). Every long-term relationship goes through cycles of harmony-relationship breakdown-relationship repair. When a relationship breaks down, some people will stop and try to overcome the problems and improve the relationship. Others will go - without stopping and thinking - in the direction of worsening and ending the relationship. It is precisely in times of crisis that our will and determination to work on improving the relationship can be seen, as well as how skilled we are at creating healthy and stable partnerships. * * * * * Here are some wise sayings about marriage ... 1. `Happy is the man who finds a true friend, and the happiest is the one who finds him in his wife.` `Franz Schubert` 2. The whole skill in marriage is to be able to move from love to friendship, without sacrificing love. 3. `Only marriage out of love is attractive. Marrying a girl just because she is cute is the same as buying an unnecessary thing at the market just because she is beautiful. In married life, the most important screw is love, sexual attraction, one body, and everything else is insecure and boring no matter how cleverly we recalculate. So, it is not about a nice girl, but about a loved one.` `A. P. Chekhov` 4. Two people are needed for marriage, mostly three for divorce. 5. `Do not take women because of their beauty, because beauty can ruin them, do not take them because of their property, because property can make them hanged, but take them because of their nature, and you will have well-behaved, frequent and hard-working wives.` `Muhammad` I want you to have a wonderful marriage, whether it is out of love or it is arranged! I will cherish my marriage out of love, and love my husband regardless of all possible problems that arise in marriage ... I wish you good night, good dreams, or maybe someone good morning and a nice day ... Yours @MarijaJak !

Robot-shepherd As they are still peaceful and have not conquered humanity, robots are vacuuming houses these days, helping in agriculture and various forms of industry. However, robots could soon appear on pastures as well. First on Serbian, and then on other meadows in the world. Experts from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Nis and the Belgrade company "Kaming", in Serbia, made a prototype of a robot shepherd. It was patented according to the idea of Dusan Krstic from Nis with the financial support of the Fund for Innovation Activity of Serbia. Pasture robots could soon become commonplace. A robot shepherd consists of at least four robotic units connected by a wire through which a low voltage current passes. All this makes a movable fence whose width can be adjusted and which is controlled by a remote control ... *"The system can be used by only one farmer who only introduces animals to the fence and can very easily, with the help of a mobile application on the phone, tablet or computer, set the place where the system should come and how the system will behave in that environment." In addition, the farmer has constant supervision over the animals through a built-in camera system ", explains Milan Banic, technical manager of the project.* The prototype was made as part of an innovation project within the Science and Economy Cooperation program. Student Lazar Stojanovic was in charge of electronics, to control the robot and to make a program for it. *"There is no solution like this in the world. In addition to raising sheep, cows and pigs outdoors, we increase the number of heads and so on. Definitely, those animals are also protected from predators ", pointed out Ivan Simonovic, the president of" Kaming Computer Engineering ".* With a robot guarding them, the sheep would feed more naturally The robot shepherd was tested in a natural environment, where he had the task of guarding a flock of 360 sheep. *"They worked on it for several months, let the sheep go, improved it, supplemented the shortcomings, and in the end it turned out that it could really keep the sheep," says Petar Bogdanovic*. According to statistics, in the last decade, the livestock in the district in Nis has dropped by 25 to 30 percent every year, and experts say that one of the main reasons for this is the extinction of the village, but also labor shortage A robot shepherd would allow the animals to be more on a natural diet, so we would have healthier food. In order for this system to be fully implemented, more training is needed and companies that would invest in production.

Masha and the Bear I believe you heard if you hadn't at least watched this cartoon with the cute little girl Masha and her caring bear. In my article, you will be able to read some interesting facts about the mentioned cartoon. Masha is the main heroine, a mischievous, bright girl with rosy cheeks, full of energy and will, smart and sometimes silly ideas. She is everything we know about children, everything we expect from children her age, and definitely a little more than all that. A real little resourceful whirlwind. Her inseparable friend the bear is equally important because in this story of theirs, he somehow takes on the role of a parent. At least so carefully and helpfully, always protectively, he meets the Mashine's imagination and its endless desires. Although very dedicated and with the experience of a real circus acrobat, bear is not at all easy in her intention to fulfill every Masha's wish, answer her every question, establish order every time Masha makes a mess. The YouTube channel of this animated series is among the 10 most watched in the world. Animaccord, which is behind Masha and the Bear, has a steady 40 percent annual revenue growth. The cartoon, inspired by a Russian fairy tale, in an idyllic rural environment, is the story of a mischievous girl Masha and a big bear, a retired circus performer who is the victim of her unsavory jokes. The real home of the series is a former kindergarten in the suburbs of Moscow, where each of the 70 or so animators makes two to four seconds of cartoon a day. By TV series standards, it’s unusually slow, but the images are so detailed with compelling 3-D effects that viewers can clearly see the Machine’s tiny teeth. The process is also quite expensive - up to $ 250,000 per six-minute episode. Animator Andrej Beljajev works for several hours on Masha's facial expressions or details such as food in the refrigerator and flowers in the field. *"Children are very perceptive spectators. You are constantly thinking about how to tell a story and show scenes from a new angle so that children do not get bored when they watch it for the tenth or hundredth time,"* Belyaev said. The creator of "Masha and the Bear" Oleg Kuzovkov, like many other Russian animators, moved to Los Angeles during the economic problems of Russia in the 90s, but returned to the country in 2003. He is still constantly on the Moscow-Los Angeles route, as he does all the work of preparing the series, like writing screenplays and making storyboards, in California. The creators of "Masha and the Bear", unlike other representatives of the Russian industry, say that they do not encounter discrimination in the West. "*There is no animosity, no rivalry, no one (in the USA) is trying to protect their cartoon market from foreign projects. When they see something unique and unusual, something they don't have, they take it,"* Kuzovkov said. Also, Animakord, unlike large Russian companies, does not receive state subsidies. He received two grants for the film when the series was already made. Along with commercial success - $ 4.3 million in revenue in 2013 came awards. In August, Animakord reached an agreement with Netflix to show the cartoon in the United States, where Masha lends her voice to Elsie Fisher, who also voted for Agnes from "Despicable Me". In addition to earnings from television and YouTube, "Masha and the Bear" received 60 percent of all brand rental income. Thanks to contracts with world brands, Mašino lice can be found on many toys and products in stores around the world. Kuzovkov said that he was confused by the success of "Masha and the Bear". *"It was conceived as a local product tailored to the Russian audience, but with all the characteristics of the American industry such as tempo, editing, picture quality. The atmosphere, that TV, the phone, everything is from my childhood. It's my homeland - it's a new style for them,*" said the author of "Masha and the Bear." You can now watch one episode ... Believed that you will surely like it. https://youtu.be/KYniUCGPGLs Perhaps the enormous popularity of this series is considered a phenomenon. I believe that it is much better to say - it is phenomenal that "Masha and the Bear" are so popular and so loved.
