Amazing Treasure became Legend

Maps of the nuclear bombing of Japan. 

 

Often priceless treasures disappear during the war. But from time to time, the war itself creates relics and historical values.

7 Reasons Not To Leave Russia

This material is addressed to people who regularly visit the pulse "time to bring down." Dear citizens, early to catch the bags. In Russia, everything will be fine!  

"Prophetic" Reason  

Many Orthodox elders, both Russian and Athos, predicted a great future for Russia in the "end times." Almost all of the prophecies of the saints are the same in the fact that Russia will regain its former glory, and even become a new ark. We present here a quote Reverend Laurence of Chernigov, Russian saint and seer: "... there will be a spiritual explosion! And Russia, together with all the Slavic peoples and lands will be a mighty kingdom. Nourish it will be God's Anointed King Orthodox. Thanks to him, Russia will disappear all schisms and heresies. The persecution of the Orthodox Church will not. Lord have mercy on Holy Russia, because it has been a terrible time Antichrist. Russian Orthodox Tsar-Autocrat will fear even the Antichrist. And all other countries except Russia and the Slavic lands, will be ruled by the Antichrist and experience all the horrors and torments that are written in the Holy Scriptures. In Russia, however, is the prosperity of faith and triumph, but only for a short time, for Judge Fear comes to judge the living and the dead. "  

"Transcendent" Reason  

in 1902 the famous American clairvoyant Edgar Cayce fell into a trance and saw the following picture. City of the western and eastern coast of the United States are in ruins; Japan has gone completely under water, and the United Kingdom - in half. Where the flood, where volcanoes and earthquakes, epidemics ... And only the territory of Russia represented in this ruin the island being. Casey long pondered his terrible vision, and came to the conclusion that all the damage will occur in the XXI century because of global natural disaster, which almost touches the territory of Western Siberia, which will be a new ark, where will the new revival of civilization. It is interesting that, according to the clairvoyant, harsh Siberian climate in the XXI century significantly softened with pine cones here will grow mangoes, bananas and pineapples.  

course, the vision of Casey looks exotic, but it is worth it to take carefully - this American clairvoyant predicted the beginning of two world wars, the creation of the State of Israel, the independence of India, the assassination of John F. Kennedy and many more.  

"Freshwater" Reason  

Scientists estimate that probably 25 years the world expects hard "freshwater" crisis caused by an acute shortage of fresh water. Most likely, after 10 years, the water becomes a commodity like oil. So, Russia is the richest freshwater power, which has nearly half of the world's reserves of water. Baikal alone represents 20% of water supplies.  

Therefore, remember one simple chain of logic and will remember it every time during the temptation to leave his homeland: "Water - that's life! Russia - it is water! Russia - this is the life! "  

"Arctic" Reason  

, as you know, the Arctic ice is rapidly melting. On the one hand, it's not good for the polar fauna, and on the other - it opens up new economic opportunities for our country. According to the calculations of the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources, freed from ice territory claimed by Russia, may contain up to 586 billion barrels of oil. For comparison, all current proven oil reserves of Saudi Arabia, the world's main supplier of oil, are only 260 billion barrels. In other words, no pants, we will not stay.  

Moreover, the melting of glaciers in the Arctic opens up new perspectives in the shipping industry. For example, the path through the Arctic (in the future "neledovity") ocean will reduce the distance between Rotterdam and Yokohama from 11 to 200 nautical miles (the length of this voyage through the Suez Canal) until 6500 - more than 40%. That is, the release of ice in the Arctic territory fundamentally change the current structure of world trade. In favor of Russia, of course, which is the largest coastal area in the Arctic.  

"Geopolitical" Reason  

of its geographical location and the expanses of Russia is the only country in the world that can not be fully occupy. This, for example, constantly reminded the German Kaiser, Bismarck, as well as other great military strategists.  

We can not be driven into a corner: You can only move a little bit from the boundaries. And then we catch your breath, type forces and the pursuit of the enemy to "Paris yes Berlin."  

"Collective" cause of  

the Russian people is characterized by collectivism, Catholic. The feeling of one team may be dormant, hibernation, a state for decades, but the most difficult hour, we, Russian, (and only we) can quickly be mobilized in the most terrible moment in a "single Russian soul" and survive the disaster. So it was in the Great Patriotic War, as it was in the Great Patriotic War, always will be ... The future promises to be challenging, new wars, new disasters, and experience the challenges of history better with native people, whom God has given an amazing life immunity.  

"Soul" reason  

in Russia say , "where he was born there and handy." And it's not just words. Russian man differs subtle psychic structure that will never make it to their nor pragmatic West or in the "relaxed" East. Ethnopsychology say that the natives of Russia most heavily socialized in Western countries - "Russian gene" is very resistant to all the benefits of European civilization. Even the "hardcore" Westerners, leaving "Raschke" begin to suffer bouts of nostalgia, because only with a Russian man can talk heart to heart. And in another way, and we do not know how.

10 Strange Ways To Get Rid Of Hiccups

generaly, this method was used in the Middle Ages in Europe. In children it worked fine - they have focused on adults who wind red yarn around their head. Unfortunately, some people still believe that it can work now adults. We strongly recommend that, dude, do not pay attention to the ancient methods of treatment, otherwise I suggest you treat venereal sores by a toad that should be pierced with pins so that it is still alive, and put in a box until it turns into a skeleton.  

7. Kiss Passionately  

I never ever check out this advice in practice, but, IMHO, if you iknesh during the process, the girl is unlikely to enjoy. And at work, I will order someone to kiss?

10. Make a "swallow" and in a position to drink ice water  

to join two good tips to for sure. The main thing - in the process of drinking not fall on the floor and not choke.  

However, if you have the hiccups last more than five to ten minutes, you need to see a doctor, and not to collect at midnight green smelly dope or digging turnip, because long-term hiccup - a sign that you can be something very harmful.

5 Worst Epidemic Of The Xx Century

According to scientists, the world population will reach 11 billion by the year 2100 and one of the consequences of this would be the complexity of the control epidemics.

Population growth also accelerates the growth of emerging infectious disease caused by the emergence of new drug-resistant bacteria and viruses - this trend we have seen for the past several decades. Scientists are closely watching the new viruses that can cause the next pandemic, and try to find new drugs against pathogens, which have long been known to mankind, but have developed resistance to existing antibiotics.

Here are five such diseases, which caused the worst pandemic of the last century, and which never leave the field of view of modern scholars:

Flu

From severe 1918 pandemic that killed between 50 and 100 million people, to the swine flu in 2009, took several thousand different strains of influenza viruses have caused some of the most terrible epidemics of the past century. This group of pathogens is under constant control of most of its incredible pandemic alert.

During seasonal epidemics, the virus infects up to 15 percent of the population, which influences. Annual epidemics result in around 3 to 5 million cases of severe illness and between 250 and 500 thousand deaths every year around the earth, according to World Health Organization.

This ever-changing virus has undergone some serious mutations in the past century and repeatedly re-infected humanity through pets. Significant outbreaks included the Asian flu of 1957 and the Hong Kong Flu of 1968, each of which has led to several million deaths.

SARS (SARS)

SARS is caused by SARS corona virus. It first appeared in China in 2002, and through the airport in a matter of weeks has spread to 37 countries. The virus has infected about 8,000 people across the globe, 800 of whom died.

The majority of patients infected with SARS corona virus, develop pneumonia. The virus is spread by close contact between people, especially rapidly - while sneezing and coughing. The disease can also be obtained by touching surfaces or objects contaminated with infected saliva droplets.

Scientists were able to trace the SARS virus to bats. It is assumed that this virus could find its way into the human population through livestock markets in China.

AIDS

Since its introduction in the 1980s, AIDS has infected 60 million people and claimed the lives of about 30 million.

Scientists believe that the AIDS virus is spread to the mankind from chimpanzees somewhere in the middle of the 20th century. Hacking and virus destroys the immune system, leading to a condition known as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. Without proper functioning of the immune system, people with AIDS can easily become a victim of other diseases - often fatal.

The virus is transmitted through blood, semen and other bodily fluids. Most infections occur through sex with infected people or sharing needles for injecting drugs.

Across the globe in 2011 recorded 2.5 million new cases of AIDS. To date, this diagnosis is approximately 34.2 million people.

Malaria

Although the disease is close to humanity, probably since the days of antiquity, it continues to pose a global threat to this day. From it there is no vaccine, and according to the WHO, in many parts of the world causing its parasites have developed resistance to many antimalarial drugs.

In 2010, approximately 219 million people worldwide have been infected with malaria, and 660,000 of them died. The disease is widespread in tropical regions - Africa, Asia and the Americas, although about 90 percent of disease falls on Africa.

Plasmodium - the parasite that causes malaria - gets into a person's blood through a mosquito bite, and paves the way to the liver, which multiplies unnoticed for days. At some point the parasites lurking in the membranes of liver cells, leave them and go into the bloodstream, affecting the red blood cells and disrupting the blood supply to the internal organs.

Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) was traced to 17 thousand years ago, but it is not under full kontrolёm to this day. Caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, TB - this is the second greatest killer in the world, second only palm AIDS.

Over the past two decades, mortality from TB fell by almost half. In 2012, 8.6 million people became ill with TB and 1.3 million died. More than 95 percent of deaths from the disease occur in low-and middle-wealth.

Although TB ​​is curable and its problematic forms that are resistant to the most effective and affordable medicines, according to the WHO, there are in almost all countries.
