Even 10-15 years ago, it was difficult to find a computer monitor near which a prickly soldier would not be on duty, allegedly absorbing harmful radiation. There are plants that really grow better, fueled by electromagnetic waves, and the cactus is one of them, but there is no question of complete elimination of radiation. There are several versions of the appearance of this rumor and not a single scientific theory confirming it. Plants died in the dark, exhausted by the lack of sunlight and watering, completely in vain.

The final construction is scheduled for this year.
Farrokh Bulsara was born in India, and then moved to Zanzibar with his parents. His family belongs to the Parsi people.

A harbinger of positive changes in life, embodying the promise of joy and happiness — a double rainbow is an amazing natural phenomenon. Interestingly, the colors in the second rainbow always go in reverse order and stand out in the sky not as bright as the main one. A double rainbow occurs when light is reflected twice in a drop and refracted at different angles. But a rarer phenomenon is considered to be two separate rainbows that appeared simultaneously, located in different planes. Two showers with raindrops of different shapes and sizes lead to the appearance of double rainbows, which in itself is an unusual, though not so colorful phenomenon.

Everything is fair, or how the countries divided their «toys»: 1993 for Czechoslovakia began with a «velvet divorce». One socialist country completely peacefully and bloodlessly turned into two capitalist countries — the Czech Republic and Slovakia. At the same time, they managed to divide not only the territory, but also the anthem. The first verse in Czech remained for the Czech Republic, and the second, slightly supplemented, passed to Slovakia.
The most dangerous killers on the planet are... mosquitoes. Carriers of dangerous viruses and diseases annually exterminate 730 thousand people, mainly children, in African and tropical countries. In the entire history of mankind, mosquitoes have destroyed 45 billion people, which means they have claimed more lives than all the wars known to history.
