It's nice to be an aunt
I remember the moment I became an aunt. I was young, I didn't have children of my own. That 1989, my sister gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. At that moment, love for all time was born. I was proud as I held her in my arms. The magic of that wonderful relationship begins with the birth of a child and lasts forever. I spent every free time dreaming, bathing, combing, dressing, walking ... buying sweets, toys. She spread those little hands when she saw me.
If during the childhood the aunt had a close relationship with her nephews, it will very likely continue as such even when they are in that sensitive age of adolescence. Everything they won't be able to tell their parents, they will most likely tell their aunt. Aunts are considered a less dangerous adult, and that is why children show them boundless trust. The first teeth, the first steps, the first love ... I was always there. She had great trust. She talked to everyone, asked for advice. We are allowed to cry in front of our aunt because of unrequited love or because someone left us, made us angry.
And if she is now a woman, a mother, our relationship is unbreakable. Aunt represents that free, emotionally pure zone in which there is shelter for our souls both when we are not doing well and when we are well. There is no system of rewards and punishments, insults, fear. For many, the term aunt is associated with the most beautiful experiences and the warmest emotions. We all feel like a second mother to her. Of course, there is no replacement for the mother, but the only person who can apply for that position is an aunt. It is somehow the most natural substitute in case the mother is unable to be next to her child for any reason. An aunt is someone who knows how to love, caress and understand, to justify mischief and keep a secret, she knows how to play and give advice.
Today is World Roma Day.
Today is World Roma Day. European Roma are the descendants of a small group that left their homeland in northern India 1500 years ago. As early as the 18th century, linguists discovered similarities between Romani and Indian Sanskrit, which prompted them to draw conclusions about the origin of that people. The Roma are an ethnic people who have migrated across Europe over the last thousand years. Roma culture has a rich oral tradition, with an emphasis on the family. Often portrayed as strange and egotistical, Roma have faced discrimination and persecution for centuries. Today, the Roma are one of the largest national minorities in Europe - according to UNICEF, it is estimated that 12 to 15 million Roma currently live in Europe, and 70 percent of them live in Eastern Europe. In addition to Roma living in Europe, according to unofficial data, about a million Roma live in the United States.
As a way of survival, the Roma were forced to be constantly on the road. They developed a reputation for a nomadic lifestyle and a highly isolated culture. Due to its outsider status and migratory nature, few attended school and literacy was not widespread. Much of what is known about this culture comes through stories, songs and passed down from generation to generation.
In addition to Jews, homosexuals, and other groups, victims of the Nazi regime in World War II included Roma. The German word for Roma, “Zigeuner”, is derived from the Greek root of the word meaning “untouchable” and therefore the group was considered “racially inferior”.
The Roma flag depicts the sky in blue, as a symbol of freedom, boundless space and life under the open sky, without a roof over your head. The green color represents the grass, the road, the road, as a symbol of life marked by constant travel, on a road without borders that is always "open" to the Roma. And finally, the red wheel is a symbol of constant movement and life on wheels. No war has ever been fought under the Roma flag. There are no Roma on the list of those convicted of genocide in The Hague.
Very nice gesture
Since the beginning of the corona virus epidemic, we have witnessed various types of support and assistance to the endangered, and in recent months, several bakeries throughout Serbia have launched their own solidarity actions. We can help others in countless ways: sometimes it is enough to smile, listen to someone, send a warm word, support and understanding, and sometimes much more… Our little can mean a lot to someone! That is why it is very important to work on developing empathy, a trait to which the human race owes its gratitude for survival.
In addition to the characteristic smell of freshly baked soft bread, fresh pastries and fatty burek, the aroma of solidarity has been spreading in Serbian bakeries lately.
The bakery "Čiča i Nele" in Niš was founded in 2007 and since then it has gained the trust of thousands of Niš residents with its excellent pastries. In 2020, it received a certificate confirming that this bakery is a business entity in the group of companies with the best credit rating in Serbia.
The bakery "Čiča i Nele" recently came to the center of attention with its gesture, which is rarely found among entrepreneurs of this type. Namely, at the address Studenička no. 55, where the bakery is located, anyone who needs it can get some of the pastries on offer for free.
People who have learned to be humane, proving it with numerous examples and humane deeds. I want to praise this two gestures and wish there were many good people. One should do good deeds, because God is great and will always know how to appreciate good intentions.
Serbia is a country of plums
Serbia is a country of plums. There is no rural household that does not have a few plum trees in its garden. Plum is a useful and healing food. The plum fruit is oval or round in shape, and depending on the species, it can have a blue, red or yellow skin. The plum tree comes from the Roseceae family, and the plum itself comes from the genus Prunus, which includes apricots, peaches, nectarines, cherries and sour cherries. The Latin name for this fruit is Prunus domestica, and it is believed to originate from the shores of the Caspian Sea.
Plum is the oldest folk remedy for regulating digestion. As a natural laxative, it is of great importance, because unlike other laxatives, there is no danger of getting used to it when taking plums.
Plums, due to the content of pectin that swells in the intestines, soften the stool, which is very important in the treatment of hemorrhoids or intestinal diseases. Plums with a lower sugar content are better for treating various ailments, so sour varieties are the most recommended.
One fresh plum contains an average of 113 mg of potassium, a mineral that helps control high blood pressure and reduces the risk of stroke.
The reddish-blue pigment in some types of plums, anthocyanin, can protect against cancer by eliminating harmful free radicals in the body.
According to Canadian nutritionists, plums rank low according to the glycemic index, which means that they can help you control your blood sugar level and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Just three to four plums a day can help neutralize the cells of harmful free radicals that have a bad effect on memory.
Plums are especially good for eye health. Phytonutrients found in plums can help reduce the risk of a disease that occurs mainly in the elderly, macular degeneration.
Plum jam is a childhood memory of everyone who is now in some golden years. Our grandmothers used to make twenty jars each. This was the main serving for the guests. I make it, but in small quantities three to four jars. My family eats it because it is very tasty and we love it.
Many remember the wonderful days when people in teams bought plums, so the jam was cooked in cauldrons and brandy was baked until late at night. This recipe, however, does not require a cauldron, but it brings new flavors, which will enchant your family. I make jam in the oven, and I have a sweet winter all year round. It's good to spread on bread or pancakes.
He makes the famous plum brandy in Serbia. It is served at celebrations, in taverns and restaurants, and people in Serbia often use it as a medicine for good immunity. An indispensable guest of every Serbian celebration, made in the cauldrons of old masters, plum brandy is a brandy toasted in Serbia. Strong alcoholic drink with a specific smell and taste, served in special small glasses - čokanjčići, and from the country that is known for the production of the best plum brandy, you must not leave without trying at least one toast.
Diana Budisavljevic heroin
Diana Obekser was born in Innsbruck, Austria. Before marrying her husband, Dr. Julij Budisavljević, she worked as a nurse. The couple moved to Zagreb in 1919, when her husband got a professorship at the University of Zagreb. During World War II in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Nazi-oriented Croats launched a campaign against Serbs, Jews and Roma.
Diana Budisavljević, a woman who saved over 12,000 children from a camp in the Independent State of Croatia in the Second World War. The risks Diana faced on a daily basis were not just human in nature. Since she often went to camps, where various diseases plagued her due to unhygienic and inhuman conditions, Diana was no exception. She was suffering from typhus, and her mental health was not spared either, since she suffered three nervous breakdowns during this period. The support of the people in her efforts was not great, and anyone who dared to participate in Diana's action risked their own lives. The rescued children were placed in different places, some of them were placed in foster families, some in the buildings of the Catholic Church that Diana was allowed by the Croatian Archdiocese, and some children ended up in buildings that were sparse in appearance, but most importantly are safe. During the action, Diana kept a file about the children, in order to save their data. Hoping that one day she will be returned to her biological families. However, at the end of May 1945, two OZNE agents confiscated Diana's albums with photographs of children, and on the order of the Croatian Ministry of Social Policy, her entire file was confiscated, although identification and repatriation were not completed. She herself took a lot of risks to help Serbian children. While visiting the camps, she became infected with diseases that plagued and took away children's lives. She even had typhus.
After the war, this heroine was almost completely forgotten. It has not been publicly mentioned in Yugoslavia for decades, primarily because the government did not look at it favorably after the war, as a war hero. Diana lived with her husband in Zagreb until 1972, when they moved back to Innsbruck. From the end of the war, she did not talk about her rescue operation and until her death, in 1978, she did not recover from the consequences of visiting the camp.
Dijana Budisavljević was posthumously awarded:
Gold medal "Milos Obilic" for courage and deeds of personal heroism. The medal was awarded on the occasion of the Statehood Day of the Republic of Serbia in 2012, and was presented to her great-grandson Leonard Rašica on October 23, 2013.
He is the first holder of the newly established decoration of the Serbian Orthodox Church "Carica Milica" (2011), for nobility and humanitarian work. The order was presented on October 18, 2013 to her great-grandson, writer Leonard Rasica.
In his native Innsbruck in 2011 he was awarded the Order of the Second Order.
It got streets in Belgrade, Kozarska Dubica and Gradiška.

Letter to the Daughter
Today is some rainy gloomy weather. I'm alone in the house .... I like this silence. I even turned off the TV. I've been hearing for too long about Covid 19, death, vaccines .... Today I want my thoughts to be occupied by something else .... I tried to read a book, but something doesn't work for me .... I don't have concentration .I read a few pages, and I'm not even aware of what I read. I get up, make coffee, light a cigarette .... My thoughts wander ... I make a fence, change the furniture in the living room ... but nothing goes in my thoughts. I make, tear down, change ... I don't feel anything like .... then suddenly in your mind you come dear daughter ... You have occupied my thoughts, my heart my soul.
I take the paper and transfer everything to it. This is for you, my dear daughter.
Letter to the Daughter
My dear daughter, I remember every moment ... since you came into my life, while you were still in your womb ... we fought together. In the first months of pregnancy, I was told that it was risky, that I had a placenta previa ... We went to the hospital until the birth. I gave birth to those two-pound daughters. You were like a loaf of bread ... the most beautiful loaf to me. I was afraid to take you in my arms so as not to hurt you ... At 19 days you had to have surgery ... you didn't gain weight ... Juice ... fear, but my loaf must live, progress. .TI'm looking forward to your every smile, movement, measurement ... Then my daughter started another fight. You were born with a deformed foot. We went through three surgeries ... You just walk, then the operation, then you have to go for a cast ... and there's no running around, throwing toys in the toilet and other mishaps ..... and so on three times until your fifth year. You wear your daughter's orthopedic shoes ... we bought the most beautiful ones, but again they are not as beautiful as other girls wear. People in the park, on the street, often warned us that we wore your shoes upside down .... How angry I was then at the ruthlessness and stupidity of some people ... I'm not stupid not to know how to wear shoes .... that are orthopedic, they must be made to correct the deformity ..... I was sad and angry for my daughter, and happy that you are small, that you do not understand and that someone reckless can not hurt you. You are an adult daughter today. It's all behind us. We overcame everything together. One day you will leave, which is natural ... you will create your family ..... Maybe the road will take you somewhere far away, maybe you will be very busy .... but dear daughter, always find some time for your mother. It is an unbreakable love and connection.
P.S
I was carried away by emotions, so I threw everything I feel and thought on paper. The way they came, that's how I wrote.
Nurture love...
Ah, that infatuation ... that strange feeling ... Most people know the feeling of infatuation, when we are fascinated by the belief that we have found the perfect person, and then we feel "butterflies in the stomach", the world is a better place for us, we are optimistic and good we maintain the mood in spite of everything. Some say it's just a feeling for young people ... others think it can happen, regardless of age. It is often jokingly said that lovers are "crazy". But when we think a little, we will understand that this expression quite accurately describes what happens in a person then. The idealization of a partner, which creates infatuation, involves the detachment of one part of the image of the person we are in love with, and that part in which all his negative traits are. So, falling in love excludes one part of the image of the partner, that is, one part of reality. I remember how nice all his flaws were to me. Obsession is the right word to explain falling in love. It’s just sympathy or physical attraction to another person. If this does not happen, anger and jealousy ensue.
Love is the complete opposite feeling. The person will be patient and ready to accept any challenge. A person who loves will try to solve possible problems, and not just give up. There is always a feeling of belonging and devotion in love, which can never be expected with love. Psychological maturity is a prerequisite for mature love. It includes compassion, care, consideration and interest in the partner. In mature love, we feel satisfaction with the successes that the partner achieves, we identify with the pain as much as with the joy of the partner. In addition, we do not lose personal boundaries and a sense of our own identity. While infatuation may involve a relationship with our own ideal fantasies that we have attributed to another person, love implies a relationship with a real person, their real virtues and flaws. With age, more precisely with maturity, we allow ourselves to see and achieve this.You will realize that you have the right person by your side when you can rely on him anytime and anywhere. It is the same with the stronger half. When he realizes that he can count on you at any time, he will feel carefree.
Pigeon sold for 1.6 million euros
Almost equally in the squares of many cities you can see thousands of pigeons struggling to lure crumbs of bread from passers-by. And while for many people these are just misunderstood birds, numerous facts reveal how these feathered friends have helped us throughout history. Pigeons are real travelers and conquerors of the planet. Traveling with humans, birds have spread around the world. Today, pigeons can be seen throughout Europe and in the northern parts of Africa. Pigeons also live in southwest Asia.
Pigeons can be found anywhere in the world.
This distribution is a result of the fact that man managed to make a domestic pigeon out of a wild pigeon. This bird was used to send messages over long distances. There is evidence that information was already transmitted in ancient Egypt. The pigeon post office remained incredibly popular until the 20th century.
The connection between man and pigeon is one of the oldest in the world. Pigeons are effective messengers because of their innate navigational abilities that allow them to return to their nest even miles away.
It is not entirely clear how they do it. Some think they use the Sun, while others believe it is magnetoreception through which they map their position with the help of magnetic particles in the upper beak, and some even think they navigate using their scent or literally following their beak.
Thanks to these abilities, pigeons have always been used to deliver messages. They were even used to declare the winners of the Olympic Games some 3,000 years ago.
Domesticated pigeons were used during the First and Second World Wars to convey important messages. When they landed, a bell would ring, signaling to the soldiers that a message had arrived. The pigeons were so integral to the war effort that as many as 32 pigeons were awarded the Dickin Medal. Elite European pigeons have become increasingly popular around the world in recent years, especially in China, where pigeon breeding can generate huge profits.
The interest of wealthy buyers, from Asia or the Gulf countries, has led to a jump in prices for these "champions", whose competition is to be the first to return home instinctively, after sometimes covering hundreds of kilometers. A carrier pigeon from a Belgian kennel was sold at auction to a Chinese buyer at a record price of 1.6m euros. A dove named New Kim, which originates from a famous kennel in the Antwerp area, has become the most expensive bird sold of its kind in the world. At the age of two, the dove became a favorite at competitions. In 2018, she won the title of the best pigeon in Belgium.
It used to be a big symbol ... now a bit forgotten!
Carnation means "flower of love" or "flower of the gods". Carnation is one of the oldest cultivated flowers, it has a timeless beauty and reflects the spirit of the time. The carnation carries the symbolism of love, fascination and diversity. Refresh your little paradise with this flower that exudes charm and attracts the eye with its avant-garde look. The history of carnations, as the main artistic inspiration, dates back to ancient Greek and Roman times. Christians believe that the first carnation blossomed on earth when Mary wept for Jesus as he carried the cross on his back. In the 20th century, the carnation became the main symbol of Mother's Day. Carnation has a special meaning in many other cultures around the world.
A diverse palette of colors and scents is one of the main features of carnations. We offer you some of the most popular types that will arouse your enthusiasm and leave an impressive mark forever. Turkish carnation blooms in early spring, early May and June. He likes sunny weather, but he can also succeed in autumn. Turkish carnation will be a favorite flower in a beautiful garden. Turkish carnation is ideal for gardens, with a very pleasant smell. It does not like shade, so position it in a place bathed in the sun, it also does not tolerate weeds, so regularly prune the excess parts.
Fragrant carnation is an evergreen perennial that blooms in May and June. And one flower can smell the whole yard. The name of the genus Dianthus comes from two Latin words: dios - divine and anthos - flower. That name says it all, and our great-grandparents used to plant these carnations abundantly in their backyards.
Red carnations are certainly the most famous symbol of Women's Day. This flower has a history of more than 2,000 years and carries a lot of meaning. The red carnation is a symbol of the labor movement and is often seen during demonstrations on Labor Day. With the promise that it is a symbol of the workers of the company, they gave it to their workers for the International Women's Day. A bright red carnation signifies admiration, and a dark red a deep love and affection. White carnation is a symbol of happiness and love, and purple is capricious. In France, purple carnations are worn when condolences are expressed.The connection between carnation and Mother's Day originated in the United States in 1907, when Anna Jarvis, the woman who established this day, chose white carnation as its symbol because it was her mother's favorite flower.

My favorite creeper is dipladenia !
Dipladenia is a flowering summer climber that will make you especially happy from season to season. It is from the Mediterranean, so it loves the sun, hot and even hot summer. It blooms tirelessly when the conditions suit it, and it is not very demanding. It is also ideal for terraces if you do not have a garden and a lot of space. It needs support to grow and can grow up to 3 meters. You can even plant it in planters from which it can fall and get the effect of flower waterfalls. Good idea for sunny terraces. It is very similar to the mandela, which differs in the shape of the leaves and which can grow up to 6 meters. In warmer regions, it is even planted near the railing, so you can imagine that floral atmosphere when the mandela climbs out of the handrail and the fence. So, the first request that this summer flower has is the request to be warm and sunny because it is a real friend of the hot summer months.
The flowers do not have a scent, but large trumpets attract butterflies. It is a classic creeper, so it needs support. But she can't catch herself, so you have to help her by tying up for support. Dipladenia is best planted in peat substrates, but any soil that has good permeability is certainly good. He does not like excessive water retention around the roots. Prune only to remove dead branches in early spring when you take it outside It is propagated by semi-mature cuttings in August with the obligatory use of hormones for rooting woody plants. It is good to soak the cuttings in warm water (about 32 degrees Celsius) after removing them until the milk juice stops leaking. Then dust the cuttings with hormone and put them in sterile sand at a temperature above 22 degrees Celsius. The cuttings will take root in a few weeks.
My experience is that this is an extremely grateful summer flower garden for growing. And if you are a beginner, feel free to dare and get a seedling of dipladenia. It is available in three colors: red, pink and white. It is important not to water it too much and to feed it well. You will see that all summer long, no matter how hot, you will enjoy the trumpet flowers of paradise.
Encourage her to speak up!
Every day I hear that a person has been abused. As the days go by, it seems that this topic, which has been kept silent for decades, maybe even centuries, is not fading, but is growing like a lump. Every day, hundreds of women write, under their names or anonymously, about horrific experiences or memories of inappropriate actions by men, teachers, coaches, employers. They talk about experiences at all ages, but mostly at puberty. Common to all examples of sexual violence is that perpetrators assume that they "have power and control over the victim" According to the latest information from the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade, acting teacher Miroslav Aleksić was questioned and remanded in custody for eight rapes and seven illegal sexual acts, which he is charged with. Aleksic was detained after several actresses publicly accused him of sexual abuse while they were still attending his acting school as underage students. What followed were sharp, at this point extremely harmful, divisions between those who expressed support for the victims, addressed words of encouragement or spoke soberly about the systemic problem of violence, and on the other hand, those who asked questions. Questions that mostly start with "but".
"But why did she speak only now", "but why didn't she stop attending classes", "but what will she say to the media", and a thousand other "buts" that we express here for the sake of illustration and how we could clearly explain them we cross it out, even though they don’t deserve to be re-posted anywhere in public.
Each "but" leads to a new injury to the victims, diverts attention from a key problem - serial violence against minors - and brings us to what is called secondary victimization.
The fact that in the environment in which we live we are constantly amazed and condemned by the violence that happens to women in other environments, but we ourselves are not ready to talk about it. People need to react, speak, form attitudes and opinions before devoting mental effort to understanding what, for example, a rape victim psychologically had to go through until she decided to go public and ask for protection and justice.
We live in a society of silence. We teach children not to oppose the authorities, we are dumb to the abuse of bosses and politicians, neighbors who beat women, dad's sons who trample pedestrians. And then we ask her why she was silent? This must be talked about, but without embarrassing or blaming the victim. When it comes to court, the situation is not much better, the processes take a long time, and the sentences are mild. In Serbia, in 2016, the so-called Mary's Law introduced a ban on the statute of limitations for criminal offenses against sexual freedoms when they are committed against minors. The indescribable courage of the victims to speak out publicly opened up space for other women to speak out about the sexual violence they went through, and about the trauma. Some have set out on a long journey to one day muster the strength to come forward and accuse the abusers.
In order for their voices to be heard in the everyday noise, it is necessary to amplify them. Their courage and solidarity with the victims oblige them to do so.
The first flowers from my garden !
They say that spring is the most beautiful time of the year, to awaken life and bring joy. That is my favorite season .... After a long and cold winter, it starts to turn green, bloom, smell, because when it arrives, everything around me changes in me. I want to stay outside to breathe fresh air, listen to songs that compose spring and watch the clear sky above me. That feeling fills my "batteries". The calendar spring starts on March 20, but today in my city the temperature is 16 degrees. I used this nice time to spend in the garden and take a few photos.
Tulips, or tulips, are ideal representatives of spring flowers from the lily family, and among the three most popular flowers in the world, in addition to roses and chrysanthemums. Thanks to genetic engineering, tulips come in an incredible variety of colors, heights and floral shapes. There are over 3,000 different registered varieties of tulips in the world. I planted the bulbs in the fall, and the flowers in about fifteen to a month.
And here are the first crocuses... I have a lot of them in the garden ... white, purple, blue and yellow ... They are yet to bloom ... these are the first to bloom in my garden.
Lovely and tender, bulbous sweet crocuses become very impressive when hundreds of flowers open at the same time. As soon as the first rays of the sun begin to touch the earth, crocuses spring from the earth and announce the imminent arrival of spring. From year to year this species shows novelties. Hundreds of colorful flowers create floral carpets on lawns and around shrubs.
Humanity ... A man only sees well with his heart !
We can help others in countless ways: sometimes it is enough to smile, listen to someone, send a warm word, support and understanding, and sometimes much more… Our little can mean a lot to someone! That is why it is very important to work on developing empathy, a trait to which the human race owes its gratitude for survival. Little Kragujevac girl Minja Matić was diagnosed with a rare and extremely severe neuromuscular disease - Spinal muscular atrophy, type 1. Fortunately, there has recently been gene therapy and Minja got a chance to fight a vicious disease. The only treatment is to study abroad, which costs 2.4 million dollars.
In addition to the medicine, which is very expensive, Minja also needs a expectorant, orthopedic aids, physical therapy, as well as the costs of accommodation and travel to go for treatment abroad.
The disease that Minja suffers from is related to a gene mutation and is manifested by the loss of basic life functions, such as walking, digesting food, swallowing and breathing. It does not affect the brain and cognitive functions.
All over the country, people of good will, with a good heart, united to help little Minja. Text messages were sent, organized by bazaars, children sold their toys ... all the money went for Mina's treatment. Radoslav Marjanović, a pensioner from Umčar near Belgrade, showed that humanity is what we can always rely on in the most difficult times. He sold the house he inherited for 10,000 euros, and gave all the income for the treatment of one-year-old Minja Matić, who suffers from rare and severe spinal muscular atrophy. He worked honestly and hard all his life. Radoslav did not choose jobs, so he was a blacksmith and a butcher as needed.
He also spends his retirement days working. Within the household, he takes care of the animals, but also of 10 hectares of land. As he says, he provided for his children and grandchildren, so he wanted to give the money from the sale of the house to those who need it the most. After winning the crown, Radoslav Marjanović sold his house and donated the received 10,000 euros for the treatment of Minja Matić, with the desire that his act be an example to others to, as much as he can, help children who need it in these difficult times.
We remember, it was 6 months ago, with a hope that was hidden, but again present and a sentence that accompanies us from the beginning - We will succeed, we can do it. NOW, we want to share with you - Minja succeeded, Minja RECEIVED ZOLGENSMA. Minja got a chance at life. The greatest joy was the day when we got Minja, and today we became the proud parents of our Minja again. Our brave man succeeded, we succeeded. In fact, you, wonderful and humane people around the world have succeeded. We owe a great deal of gratitude to the airline that provided Minja with a free and safe flight, as wonderful people, a doctor and a technician from St. Sava Hospital.
Minja will come out as the biggest winner of her life. Our dream has come true, we are now stronger and happier than ever in our lives.
Thank you for being with us.
Huge love for all, Your Minja.
He united the whole world with divine love! Rest in peace, our Djole!
The news that a musician whose ballads are loved by both young and old has died, shook the entire region. The famous domestic singer-songwriter Djordje Balasevic passed away today at the age of 67 from the consequences of the corona virus. He has received numerous awards for his work, and UNESCO has declared him a goodwill ambassador.
Several thousand citizens, admirers of George Balasevic, gathered tonight at 8 pm on the Freedom Square in Novi Sad, as part of this famous singer-songwriter.
I am sitting in complete silence in an apartment where it has got dark, but it seems indecent to get up and turn on the light. Djordje Balasevic died. It seems impossible, cruel, unfair. It is as if someone tore a part of the fabric of our reality, a blank sheet of paper on which Balašević somehow managed to write verses of love, peace and normalcy through all the stains of the past and bloody pages.
I didn't cry for the celebrities when they left, but Balasevic isn't just a name on the front page. We didn't listen to him - he knew how to listen to us. When the crown took away Balašević, she took away the pillar of this eternally shaken Balkan udžerica. A pillar that was the spirit of Novi Sad, but also the first love in Belgrade. Which was the charm of the town and the sharp mangup moment of the big city. It was a song about Kemal's Koševo and the plains of Vasa Ladački. It was a whistle on the platform of normalcy for all of us on the train, which is just about to go somewhere, moving forever - and we don't know where it's going.
Tom and Jerry celebrated their 81st birthday
I think we all love cartoon movies, I especially like Tom and Jerry.
81 years ago, on February 10, the first cartoon was shown on TV, and the tireless Tom and Jerry captured the hearts of children around the world. Tom is still trying to catch Jerry today, but their chase always ended in failure.
The animation department of the MGM studios, where the creators Bill Han and Joe Barber worked, struggled to achieve the success of other studios that produced successful cartoon characters such as Mickey Mouse or Gica Pig. MGM animators, both under the age of 30, began to come up with their own ideas. Barbera said that he likes the simple concept of cartoons about cats and mice, with conflicts and chases, even though it has been done countless times before.
The story of Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse, who live in the same house and constantly outwit each other, regularly ended with Tom remaining furious, and Jerry managed to reach the desired goal, with a lot of chasing and witty situations.
The music for the cartoon was composed by Scott Bradley, and Tom's famous human-like scream was personally embodied by Bill Han.
Interestingly, Jerry and Tom also appeared in several feature films - Jerry starred with Gene Kelly in the 1945 film "Raise the Anchors," and Tom and Jerry appeared in the 1953 film "Ether Williams." it's wet ". After MGM closed the animated film studio in 1957, Hannah and Barbera started their own production house, but a few years later MGM decided to revive Tom and Jerry, but without the original authors. The production was moved to Prague due to cost reductions in 1961, and animator Gene Deich was supposed to lead the production, but he did not have enough budget or enough professional staff. After him, the production was taken over by Chuck Jones, whose animators made Tom with stronger eyebrows and a distorted face. His team made 34 cartoons between 1963 and 1967. By 1970, many of the first episodes of Tommy and Jerry began to be considered violent, after which episodes began to be produced in which the cat and the mouse were friends, but those episodes never achieved success as the originals. However, Tom and Jerry are still popular all over the world, from Japan to Pakistan, and a game of the same name for mobile phones was invented in China, which has more than 100 million users.
Four years ago, an Egyptian official tried to blame the cartoon for the increase in violence in the Middle East, while the Iranian leader compared the relations between that country and the United States as the relations between Tommy and Jerry. Bill Hannah passed away in 2001, and Joe Barbera passed away five years later. Currently, Warner owns the rights to show cartoons about Tommy and Jerry.
There's probably not a single cartoon fan in the world who hasn't heard of Tom and Jerry! The famous cat and mouse have remained the true embodiment of the relationship between 'cat and mouse' to this day, and their antics have marked many childhoods.
Good always comes back to good. Thank you to my wonderful donors. When I get off the blacklist, I will reciprocate!
The secret of the hidden treasure !
Stara planina, a high mountain massif, belongs to the group of wedding mountains. The main wreath is about 550 kilometers long, and stretches from Zajecar to the Black Sea. Part of this wreath also marks the natural border between Serbia and Bulgaria. The old mountain has another name - the Balkans, so the Balkan Peninsula was named after this mountain. The highest peak, along the border on Stara Planina, and also in Serbia, is Midzor, at an altitude of 2,169 meters. The part of Stara Planina that stretches through Serbia belongs to the municipalities of Zajecar, Knjazevac, Pirot and Dimitrovgrad. The area of the Stara Planina massif, which covers Serbia, is 1,802 square meters.
One of the most beautiful landscapes of the Stara Planina is the Babin Zub nature reserve, which is located at an altitude of 1,758 meters. Steep slopes, sharp ascents, miraculous waterfalls, forest fruit fields, rich forests, provide an opportunity for the development of various forms of tourism. Stara Planina has a moderate continental climate, modified in relation to the altitude and position of the mountain. It is under snow for almost five months a year, at an altitude of 1,100 to 1,900 meters, and represents the potential for long-distance alpine skiing. The flora and fauna on the Stara Planina is characteristic, so there is a habitat of the Subalpine beech at the foot of Baba's tooth, and there are brown trout in streams and rivers. The old mountain is rich in medicinal herbs and mushrooms, and it is also home to many species of rare plants.
Hikers, hunters and peasants who take their cattle to the Stara Planina pastures are no longer surprised when they come across a narrow, deep hole in the rock, a remote part of the hill towards the border with Bulgaria or hear a junk whistling - they know, there were or came seekers. They themselves found coins or some objects in the depths of the Stara Planina, which, archaeologists say, is not unusual considering the numerous civilizations that existed in this region or passed there. Legends that have been passed down for centuries, intertwined with historical facts, among adventurers, researchers and those who want to get rich easily, have created a handful of stories about buried treasure on the Stara Planina.
The largest Roman mint in the Balkans was on Stara Planina, it is not known exactly where, it has not been found yet. Then, there were many hajduks and hid the gold they stole from the Turks. In the Middle Ages, the Circassian tribe also lived on Stara Planina, which was also rich.
Lately, the current search for the grave of Attila, for whom there are indications that he was buried right near the village of Krupac on Stara Planina. There are several versions of the legend about the priest who, after the Turks killed his family, made a band of robbers to take revenge on them. He stole the treasure, gave a part to the poor, and hid a part in a pit which, according to tradition, guards the downhill and kills everyone who enters it. Although some people are led to such expeditions by the desire for adventure, and others by a comfortable life, everyone studies in detail and with great attention the maps that mostly come from Bulgaria and talks to the oldest inhabitants of mountain villages in the hope that they will reveal a new secret. I can hear from them that such gold is cursed, that if they find it and take it away, something bad will happen to them "if they do not fulfill the vow". There are also stories that on St. Peter's Night, where the treasure is buried, you can see the flames erupting from the ground, so that on the eve of July 12, many still walk among the rocks and through the woods, hoping to see the light. Although this story seems too fairy-tale, there are still historical bases for some legends about buried treasure
Welcome to Borča the Walley of Swans".
If you thought people belonged to the most emotional species in the world, then you were wrong. There are animals that are very attached to their life partner, so that in case of separation and death, they cannot get over it. One of these animals is the swan.
Swans are, by all accounts, not only the largest but also the most beautiful birds among swimmers. With their interesting appearance and graceful behavior, they have always attracted the attention of onlookers and bird researchers. In the legends, they are given rich symbolic meanings (among other things, they are a symbol of love and fertility). Many legends and works of art speak about them, and in the north there is even the constellation Cygnus in the sky.
They live on waters with shrubs, reeds and other developed vegetation (floating, submerged and underwater). These are shallow lakes, ponds, ponds, freshwater and salt marshes, slow rivers (they are more inclined to clean streams full of plants than to larger polluted rivers), waterfalls, canals, artificial reservoirs (reservoirs, gravel depressions, ornamental lakes, ditches and canals), estuaries, estuaries, marinas, coastal bays and lagoons and sheltered sea bays. Flocks of adults and those that do not mate can, during the moulting period, settle brackish (mixture of fresh and salt water) or salt habitats, including brackish wetlands, backwaters, as well as shallow coastal areas. They can easily get used to the proximity of people and life in urban areas like city parks.
The main danger is posed by hunters (people in some parts of the world use them in their diet), environmental pollutants (poisoned water and food due to oil and gas exploitation, blasting, smelting of copper ore ...), then high-voltage cables and strong and long winters. The threat to their survival in nature is also lead poisoning - they eat leftover hunting shot. Adult swans are generally capable of defending their young from most predators, but even though parents are persistent in defense, eggs and newly hatched cubs are sometimes prey to pike, crow, weasel.
Swans have definitely settled on the left bank and we can see them in the largest number in one place on the Vizelj canal in Borča. For several years now, swans have been gathering at the mentioned place.
Citizens visit this location to enjoy together with these graceful birds.
That is why fans of these birds made the board "Swan Valley & Welcome to Borča the Walley of Swans".
Vasa Pelagic, folk healer, heals plants.
My father's home village is Gornji Zabar. It is located in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is located in the central part of the plain Posavina, on the main road Orašje-Tuzla.
It was determined that the area of Posavina was inhabited in prehistoric times. People settled here because the Sava River was an important road, rich in fish, as well as its tributaries, Tolisa, Tinja and Brka, and the land next to them, although often flooded. , it was fruitful. Coins (Apollonia, Drachma, Denar) of Roman emperors (Claudia, Hadrian, Valens and others) found in Tolisa and its surroundings, as well as various objects and jewelry, say that at the beginning of the new era in Posavina were Romans. In that period, Posavina was full of swamps, ponds and marshes, but it was also fertile and rich, so the Romans worked on draining it. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Posavina fell for some time under the rule of the Eastern Goths, and then the Avars, with whom the Slavs came together from the 4th to the 7th century.
Vasa Pelagic was born in this beautiful village.
Later, the village was named after him. Today it is called Pelagicevo.
It is rare that a house does not have the book "Narodni učitelj" by Vaso Pelagić.
Pelagić is one of the first supporters of the idea of socialism in Serbia and the Balkans. He was a prolific and popular writer, and works published during his lifetime were printed in 250,000 copies. His most famous and best-selling work is "Narodni učitelj", and it is considered one of the most important books of medicine published in the former Yugoslavia. Many lived by his advice, and he himself loved and respected a healthy life. Apart from being a prominent socialist and writer, Pelagić was an educator and a folk doctor. Pelagić was born in 1833 in the village of Gornji Žabari in Bosnia. He enrolled in the seminary in Belgrade in 1857, after which he went to Moscow. After studying in Moscow, where he studied political medicine and the history of medicine, he returned to Banja Luka and became the director of the seminary.
In his famous work, he published many tips on natural healing, healthy living, as well as other lessons on mental and physical health. The book "People's Teacher" was written for the broad masses. Pelagić was a great advocate of a healthy life, and he considered it the duty of every man to be healthy. Here are some of his tips:
A COUGH
"For the treatment of cough (Bronchitis), it is best for the patient to go to bed, especially if he has a fever. It is necessary to drink 2 to 4 liters of tea of various types and take light diet food. If chest pain occurs when coughing, it is good to prevent the pain by applying mustard or cataplasm - flaxseed porridge (cicvar). Inhalations - inhalation - hot steam "steaming" with pine oil or similar means work well against cough. With a long-lasting irritating cough, it is good to humidify the air in the room with constantly boiling water. If the cough causes cramps or pain, it is good to give codeine tablets. It is always good to give expectorants to expel sputum. If the cough keeps the temperature for a long time, it is necessary to use antibiotics (penicillin, aureomycin, teramicin, rondomycin, tetracycline, etc.).
FLU
“Niku A flu patient should be provided with rest and treatment in bed. Provide insulation, good care and easy nutrition but rich in vitamins. Against fever and pain well is to give aspirin, antipyrine, and even quinine. It is good to give cough remedies for expectoration: mallow tea or syrup and other means. If the temperature is high, it is good to put compresses and wipe the patient with water. Sometimes it will be possible to give penicillin and sulfaldad preparations. It is necessary to give large amounts of vitamin S (lemon). "
DRY HANDS AND LIPS
"Cracked hands and lips are best treated with glycerin. Take 50 grams of glycerin and 50 grams of rose water from the pharmacy; mix well, and every night, when you go to sleep, smear your cracked hands, and it will pass. It is for rich townspeople, and for the poor world it will be cheaper to do this lubrication with melted tallow "
The first edition of this book was printed in 1879, and it is still current, the most extensive and most useful book on health that resists time and expands the horizons of awareness of the importance of human health and a healthy natural environment.
Pelagić pointed out the countless possibilities of domestic medicinal products and their beneficial effects, such as: medicinal herbs, vegetables and fruits. Not opposing medicine and supporting the thought of the famous Greek physician Hippocrates: Food should be medicine, and medicine - food.
Google pays tribute to our country for Statehood Day!
Today, Serbia celebrates Statehood Day - the memory of the First Serbian Uprising and the first Constitution.
Statehood Day is celebrated all over the country, as a reminder of the Meeting in 1804, when the First Serbian Uprising was raised and liberation from Turkey began, and the same date in 1835, when the first modern constitution of Serbia was adopted. For us, the meeting is a time of re-examination, and the unity of our people wherever they live, the holiday of all who love and live our Serbia.
One day, when the First Serbian Uprising against the Turks was raised at a meeting in Orašac in 1804, under the leadership of Đorđe Petrović Karađorđe. The second - the day when the first modern, and at that time, extremely liberal Constitution of the Principality of Serbia was adopted and confirmed by the oath in Kragujevac in 1835. Although they are celebrated on February 15 and 16, both events took place on the church holiday Sretenje, according to the Julian calendar - on February 2 and 3.
Today, the Internet search engine Google painted its front page in the colors of the Serbian flag. On the occasion of the Statehood Day of Serbia, which is celebrated today and tomorrow, the search on Google today begins with Serbian symbols. This is not the first time that Google has paid tribute to Serbia in this way, and they regularly give importance to other dates and important events.
On one occasion, the Google search engine marked the birthday of the Serbian scientist and inventor Nikola Tesla by changing its logo in the shape of purple lightning, which comes out of the letter G in the shape of Tesla's transformer. Google traditionally marks important dates in human history, major holidays and birthdays of important people by changing its logo.
Love of plants is a wonderful feeling!
In addition to love for children, partner, parents, brothers, sisters, pets ... there is one special love ... love for flowers. This kind of love can only be understood by those who enjoy growing flowers.
I love flowers. With him, I feel more in the mood in all this trouble of ours. Flowers and all plants should be treated as a human being, let him live and feel free. ... when he's sick I take care of him. I also notice that people often say that they don't know how to arrange their environment, that they are indecisive, as if they think that someone else should do it for them. In fact, the most important thing is for everyone to fight for themselves and their space, a better environment and a more normal life in the city.
I used to live in an apartment. I had seventy pots of various plants. I went to flower shows. Flower lovers gathered there, we exchanged pelcers and experiences.
Flowers should be loved, and nothing more… You should not sing flowers or play music, but water it and sometimes feed it, and that's it. It gives joy, delights when it blooms, when it is a beautiful leaf, when it grows… Love between man and flowers is mutual. If we are careful with plants and take care of them, they know how to return that love. And then we admire them the most. There is no most beautiful flower. Each will be beautiful if we cultivate and nurture it. Each flower is beautiful in its own way, you just need to see beauty in it.
Indoor maple (abutilon) blooms all summer, fast growing, can be planted in a pot or garden, pruned in the fall and brought in to overwinter, it can grow over 2 meters. I got a little pelcer two years ago ... now I have a beautiful branched plant. The minimum temperature it can withstand during the winter is 5ºC. The maximum summer temperature at which it survives is 22ºC. If stored during the winter at a temperature higher than 10ºC or lower than 5ºC, it can react by losing leaves.
There is no man whose attention, especially in urban areas, will not be attracted by blooming balconies, gardens and parks. Flowers are a source of pleasure for both the observer and the owner of such a garden or balcony. You should follow your interests and if you want you can grow primrose, basil, lavender, rosemary on the terrace ... Everything that you can use in the kitchen. In addition, it is certain that you will have fewer mosquitoes if you grow herbs.
May every day be Valentine's Day for you!
It is difficult to give a definition of love. "I love you" can mean so much ... But, in its purest form, love is the most powerful emotion. To be able to love someone, you must first love yourself. Don't listen to what others tell you. Don't even listen to your own ratio. Just follow what you feel, it's the only way to always be on the right track. We have all come to an earthly garden called life. The paths we walk are different, they intertwine and diverge, we flow like time, we rejoice, laugh, suffer, get sick and most importantly ... We love ...
The paths of love are very strange and are woven from countless moments. Each is special and unrepeatable. Every surviving day and sleepless night are just pieces of a huge mosaic. One surviving moment will never happen again and that is why you should love and be loved at all times, during this whole short and imperfect life ... Don't show love only on certain dates, anniversaries, birthdays, Valentino .... love is lived and shown every day, every moment!
In order not to grow into a routine, love really needs to be nurtured. Show a small token of attention every day. Kiss your loved one, say good night. A goodnight kiss is a very intimate act and proof of intimacy for most men, so don't deny them that pleasure. Make your favorite lunch, for no reason. This is one of the small signs of attention, before which no one will remain indifferent.
Love requires constant care, in order to survive and overcome all crises. It is a strong emotion, between two people, that requires respect, compassion, passion, but also sacrifice and compromise. That is why he often falls into a crisis, but if you know how to fight, no crisis will be fatal for your relationship. May every day be Valentine's Day for you!
The memory of John Lennon.
His parents' marriage was very unstable from the beginning and it soon became clear that it would not last long. Namely, his father traveled on one of his business trips, and when he returned a year later, he found his wife, John's mother, pregnant with another man, which caused a quick divorce. Since her new husband's family did not want to accept John, she gave him to his sister as a four-year-old boy, who, since she did not have children of her own, tried to give him all the love she needed.
This is how the life of a very famous music star begins. It's John Lennon.
This is how the life of a very famous music star begins. It's John Lennon. He envied the children who had mom and dad, which he longed for all his life. He grew up surrounded by women. His mother visited him regularly, and it was she who instilled in him a love for music, buying him his first guitar as a gift.
He was a very bad student at school, mostly because of the bad reputation he gained by making fun of both students and professors. He was constantly figuring out how to hurt others. Due to poor grades in school, he could only enroll in an art high school that marked his life. There he met his girlfriend Cynthia Powell, founded his first band "Quarrymen". Later he changed the name of the group to "The Beatles", which became one of the best music groups of all time. On August 23, 1962, he married Cynthia, and his godfather was Brian Epstein, his manager. Seven months later, his son Julian was born, when the famous musician was never too attached. It was in the 1960s, when real Beatlemania began, that Lennon began consuming LSD, a drug that aided his creativity but also developed the aggression that plagued his wife Cynthia the most, whom he beat very often. After the birth of the child, their marriage became a real horror. The musician began to realize in himself the love for people of the same sex, and very quickly he realized how much he was in love with his godfather Brian. The two of them traveled to Spain, and speculations about their romance began to circulate around the world. His wife endured everything for love, claiming that John is only bad when he drinks or consumes narcotics, but when she found out in 1966 that he was slowly falling in love with the girl Yoko Ono, she decided to divorce him, while the famous musician was left to pay one hundred thousand pounds a month for alimony. While he was entering a relationship with an eccentric Japanese woman who was thirteen years older than him, the popularity of the Beatles had already reached such proportions that, wherever they appeared, the members of this band caused so much attention that they were not allowed to go out without security.
Under the influence of a woman who despised him, Lennon began to feel constrained in the group that made him famous, so he left her in 1969, which infuriated many of his fans. Although he was initially very attached to his wife, his fascination with her slowly began to fade. At her urging, Lennon began a relationship with their associate Mei Fang Yi in 1973, and when, after eighteen months, Yoko decided that her husband enjoyed this young girl a lot, she told him that he had to leave her, which he was without. talk and did. The controversial Japanese woman regained control of the musician's life when their son Sean was born in 1975, after she had previously threatened to have an abortion if she did not promise to be completely dedicated to her child. However, Lennon did not have much time to enjoy his family life because he was killed on December 8, 1980 in New York in front of the entrance to the building where he lived. He was killed by his fan Mark Chapman, to whom the singer signed his new album only a few hours earlier. John's wife announced the next day that there would be no funeral and that his body would be cremated, and the ashes sprinkled on Central Park, where today there is a memorial of this musical legend - the "Strawberry Fiedels" Memorial.
If there is no BCH there is a pie !
My dear friends, I must share this with you. I am very sad. For days I have been writing articles on various topics on the read.cash platform. They did not interest a large number of readers. My messages went to spam. I love this platform, I love you who I met here, who write great. I joined # Club1BCH to achieve my goals.
It started nicely, and then suddenly nothing, I'm not doing something right. I am a very persistent person, I know I can, I know that Mr. @TheRandomRewarder will notice my articles again.
I can't change his decision, but I can change my condition. I don't want to be sad! It is expected that some existential needs must be met in order to be happy. There are examples of poor people and individuals who are happy. If the wallet is empty, at least keep your stomach full. Here I am in the kitchen, making a wonderful cheese pie.
Since I am not good at writing, to satisfy the robot and the wider masses of readers, and it seems to us that others are doing well, and that it is possible, then we are going to conclude that we have failed. There is an area where I am successful. Pita succeeded. My family is happy and satisfied. Always be happy. Be happy no matter what. There is no excuse. No excuse. If you are not happy, it is your choice and who is to blame, and there is no reason not to be. And don't complain if you're not. Find a way to be happy ....
I succeeded!
It is easier when someone else is guilty but wrong!
Responsibility is a simple but by no means easy topic. Life can sometimes hit us in a rather awkward way. Sometimes he can make things difficult for us from the very beginning. Sometimes happiness turns out of the way and everything goes in a direction we didn’t expect.
Many people cannot accept the fact that they and only they are 100% responsible for everything that happens in their lives. Wouldn’t it be perfect for your life to flow the way you want it to? Isn't it wonderful to know that your success does not depend on when, but exclusively on yourself? It must have happened to you that, when something went wrong or you realized that you did something stupid with some hasty decision, you put the blame on someone else, parents, partner, boss, colleague, children ...
We shape life every day, we shape ourselves as a person and really no one else is to blame for that! Successful people take responsibility for all their thoughts or actions, whether they are good or bad. They do not waste energy on who is to blame because they are aware that they are the only ones responsible for everything that happens to them. To succeed in life and live life "to your liking", see what needs to change and take action! You create everything in your head yourself. Whenever you blame any of the external forces for your bad life situation, it means that you have rejected all your power and thus caused pain, blockage and depression. Indicators of not taking responsibility in any area of life can be some of these feelings: anger, anxiety, blaming others, pain, revenge, distraction, self-pity, envy, helplessness, impatience, displeasure, fatigue, fear, obsession, bias, disappointment , envy…
Whenever people accuse or excuse themselves of someone or something, they are in fact just not ready to take responsibility for their own lives. By doing so, they make a helpless victim of themselves. By inventing various "intelligent" excuses, they take away their power and hand it over to someone or something. And that is easier, but it is not an attitude that brings progress and progress in life, on the contrary!
Whenever you say: "What can I do here, it's not my fault, it's not up to me…", ask yourself what it would be like for you to do something, what you can do, whatever, but to find some part that you can take on and you say to yourself: "That's how it is, and I will still do everything I can, everything in my power in this situation…".
He who seeks an excuse always finds it, as does he who seeks a way, and he always finds it. So if something is important to you you are looking for a way. If you won't, you're not ready, he hates you, it's hard for you, not to like it, that's fine, but then don't whine about it, just accept it as your choice and stay aware of your responsibility.
Find your way!
Which star is leading you? What wish, what dream? My life inspiration is life itself - one, irreplaceable, unrepeatable, unpredictable ... short but still "life"!
I am guided by the thought - Be happy whatever you do because life is short so enjoy while you can. If I'm not happy, whether I'm rich or poor, whether I'm healthy or sick, if there are no smiles on my lips, if I don't live this day, my life ... Why do I 'live'? Find a bright spot in life and walk towards it.
Life inspiration is love in any form. Love takes many forms, but it is certainly an inexhaustible source of inspiration. The uncompromising one makes me a better person - it pulls me forward to do something that has nothing to do with me. Because of such things, I am neither more beautiful, nor dearer, nor do I love myself more. It inspires me to give, not ask for anything in return. And I know I'm moving forward. Love for a man inspires me equally, but because of her I love myself more and the more I love myself - the more beautiful I am. I give more, I ask more, I inspire as much as I am inspired And the love for the beautiful (everything beautiful) draws me to look at the world around me, the people in it and various situations from a completely different angle. That angle sometimes inspires me so much, that I can see even my most difficult problems with a smile ...
He does not live a life that belongs to others. This is your path. You came into this world alone and you will leave it alone. You know each other better than anyone else. And therefore, make yourself proud. Do yourself a favor. Be good to yourself. According to your wishes and needs. And live the life you were created for. Without hesitation. No excuses.
There are people to whom everything is given, served, the stars are lined up and everything is easy for them, so it is easy for them to criticize and look for fault in others, and there are those whom I admire, who build everything themselves, as it appears to them in a dream or providence. . It costs more than anything, those who fight know, but the rewards are indescribable.
My life inspiration is that everyone, in the end, gets what they deserve, if they fought honestly for that piece of freedom and love, that love is stronger than hate, that water is stronger than fire, that happiness is stronger than misfortune and that wisdom is at least a step ahead of empty-headedness and primitivism. If so, then there are still chances for the planet and all of us.
My favorite crystal !
My dear friends, if you have followed me so far you know that I love crystals. My first crystal I bought was Citrine. He is my favorite. I do not separate from it, I constantly carry it in money. It is a smaller oval-shaped crystal, like a pebble.
Citrine (also known as the merchant's stone) is a variety of quartz that can be from light yellow, through orange to golden brown, with a glassy sheen. It is named after the word Lemon, because it has a color similar to citrus fruit. It occurs in crystals of various sizes, often in the form of geodes, spikes or druses. The color of citrine comes from iron minerals, which are present in the crystal lattice.
It has a hardness of 7 on the Moss scale. According to the legend, citrine is a gift of the god Mercury to people, who wanted to give them a part of the sun's energy and light through this crystal. In some nations, it was thought that a person carrying a piece of citrine with them would be protected from snake bites and ugly thoughts. It is believed that it was first worn as jewelry by the ancient Romans. Later, it became popular again, during the 19th century, when it began to be used as a piece of jewelry.
When you accumulate too much negative energy, you feel as if your balance has disappeared. This is because a lot of negative and toxic energy accumulates in your energy field. In that case, citrine is the perfect means of cleansing and rejuvenating your mind and body. It is one of the few crystals that do not absorb negative energy, but scatter and repel it. This will also clear your aura. You should use citrine as often as possible, especially if you are forced to, due to your daily activities, move among a multitude of negative people or stay in a very toxic environment. This is a crystal of light and joy of life that will make you, carrying a piece of this crystal with you, filled with faith, hope and life optimism. This is a crystal that is precious for those who suffer from depression, as it will drive it away very quickly with its positive and bright vibrations. It will also quickly and effectively relieve the wearer of all fears and phobias, restore their joy and help them lead a normal life again. This crystal will bring you inner peace and wisdom, stimulate your intellectual activities and help you soberly consider the information you receive and perform a logical and objective analysis of the situation in which you find yourself.
Famous Hollywood actress Greta Garbo was engaged in jewelry design in the period from 1920 to 1930. The art deco cocktail bracelet made of lemon and gold, which she designed, was recently sold at auction for 17,000 dollars.
"After many years"
Hello dear virtual friends. I wrote on the read.cash platform on various topics. Now I have decided to write one love story. I want to taste like a love story writer. I'll tell the story **"**After many years**"**. The characters and the story are the fruit of my imagination.
**"**After many years**"**
In 1980, I started first grade. I was only seven years old, and I knew it was some special holiday day. My mother sewed me a new shirt and prepared me to go to school. It's like yesterday, I remember that day. Thirty of us kids in one classroom. The teacher called us out and put us in the benches. Next to me sat a beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes. She wore a red dress. From that day on, Anja and I grew up together, studied ... we became best friends. From friendship, the first teenage love was born. Her sky-colored eyes made my heart skip a beat because I had never seen anything in my life that would take my breath away. I can still hear my heart pounding in my chest when our eyes meet in that little classroom. Weeks passed and everything was normal, exactly as it should be in the love of two young people. We used every moment to be together, we forged plans for the future.
When our parents found out about us, hers were against it. She was a daughter unit. Her parents are doctors and they wanted her to study medicine as well, and not to marry me, a poor young man. I was ready to study medicine too, so that I would be worthy of her ... One day, suddenly, a tragedy ... My parents they experienced a car accident. The father passed away a few days later, and the mother remained disabled. I left my medical studies and returned to our small town in Belgrade. I was the head of the family, took care of my mother, younger sister and worked in my father's carpentry workshop.
We rarely saw each other, only when she would come on vacation with her parents. I knew he was suffering, just like me, and that there was no one, that he didn't go out and just study. Our love was broken physically, but we loved each other and suffered in silence.
2000 years
My mother died three years ago, my sister got married, and I was left alone in a small dilapidated house. I felt sadness, emptiness ... I know about Anja that she graduated from college, that she got a job as a doctor at a clinic in Belgrade ... she didn't get married. I suffered in silence, I knew hers would not accept me. A rich doctor to have a poor carpenter as her husband ..... I'm going to Germany. I worked day and night and saved. After five years, I returned to my hometown. In place of a small dilapidated house, I made a new one .... beautiful but empty .... no laughter, happiness of love.

I am sitting on a bench in the park of my hometown. I watch the little ones play. I think about my life, my destiny. Why did everything have to be like that? My thoughts are interrupted by a toddler with blond hair and blue eyes. He ran for the ball and came up to me. I heard his mother call out to him, "Nemanja, come here!"
Since parting with her ten years pass I met her for the first time today and I saw her son. I refrained my tears stopped when he told me to your son gave my name. Hello, hello, namesake little one to this day we have not known each other my mother gave you my name to remember me through life. Your son was watching me as in a stranger blonde hair, blue eyes there are them on you. I told him mother to rejoice when you grow up better luck from me to be.
