Cleopatra's saga

Three centuries later, before the birth of Christ, a god who descended to Egypt and the Greek generals of Alexander, Cleopatra, was ruled by. He looked back to the world empire, and the Golden Age was determined to better himself.

Alexander died at the age of 32. Cleopatra was 23 when he, Alexander Julius Caesar, the world's most powerful man in Rome as the Queen of Egypt and a friendly introduction to its already gone, no more.This complex time. To save the throne, adaptable cruel, clever, and it was a great politician. Cleopatra Cleopatra's history and explanations for many of us were all of these traits. I saw my life as a heroin Renaissance poets. Bare breasted queen of the death of the artist alluded to depictions of the eroticism. Theda Bara in 1917 in Hollywood, starting with a vivid description of Cleopatra as a vamp strengthened.But who was the real Cleopatra? What did she really look like?


   We’re in Berlin because this is the best portrait of Cleopatra in the world. There are very few ancient sculptures that are existing. So this is probably as close as we’re ever going to get to how she really looked. She’s rather plain looking, isn’t she? Look at her hair. It’s tied up in a simple bun. It’s a classical Greek hairstyle. It’s practical but not exactly designed to captivate a Roman general.

   We know from ancient sources that her hair was a reddish color, wavy. But look at her nose. It’s a little bit too long and hooked at the end. And her mouth, is not exactly sensual. She’s not wearing any jewelry. There are no earrings, no necklace. This is not the portrait of a femme fatale.

   The ancient sources tell us she was intelligent, witty, charming, a linguist and along with this, she had a tremendous determination. It was this amazing combination of abilities that made Cleopatra the most famous woman in history. It wasn’t her beauty.

   Women in Egypt had always been powerful: Queen Hatshepsut, Nefertiti and now Cleopatra. But during the era of the Ptolemy’s, the role of Greek women had changed. They gained an identity apart from that of their husbands or families. Women participated in the arts and civic life and marriage became a union of two people, not just two houses. The portraits of the women of this period show strong individuals looking back at you with confidence. They’re almost haunting. Women would not have this power again until the 20th century. Cleopatra was well educated, strong minded with ideas of her own and a female.

A as an intellectual, Cleopatra would have been heartbroken: Egyptians and Caesar in the Roman army during the war, there occurred one of the ancient world's biggest tragedies of the time - and the Burning of the Library of Alexandria. It is sad to think about what is lost in the fire at Alexandria. Aristotle and Plato, and there is a missing manuscript. They were probably there. There was a room with Homer and publications. Maybe even probably, this can help in resolving the issues that biblical, Old Testament, there was an early manuscript.

Cleopatra was replaced as a result, 200,000 manuscripts. Books were very important for him. Today, everyone knows the beauty of it, but it was he was the most important asset, his intelligence, that is ironic.

Green laser light for More Applications

The Green Laser Illuminator  is much less dangerous than the presentation laser dazzlers though they are both non-lethal and promise dazzling or temporarily blinding purpose upon the target.You'd better use laser to bring safety goggles.

It’s been discussed exhaustively that the green laser beam is the most preferred beam for illuminating purpose though 1w 445nm blue lasers are also prevalent and cost-effective this year.


A lot of test has been done for the effectiveness  of these green laser illumination, including daytime visibility thresholds, glare source effects on a vehicle operator, flashblindness determination, etc. They’re amazing in low light conditions.

British civil servants workplace investigation: narcissism is good for your health

If you are the type of person who always sees the glass half full, which may have a healthier heart, research has shown. The study involved thousands of British officials indicate that most were pleased with themselves, they had fewer problems with their hearts. Scientists at the prestigious Harvard University in the U.S., we can not be sure why this is so, especially the statement, when he was still factors such as weight and blood pressure were taken into account.

But they say that something as simple as being more contented with your lot in life could have knock-on benefits on the health of your heart. Almost 8,000 civil servants were quizzed about their satisfaction with seven areas of their everyday lives – love and relationships, hobbies, standard of living, job, family, sex life and 'one's self'.

Data on their heart health was then taken from their medical records over the following six years and the two compared. Those who were highly satisfied with their lives overall were 13 per cent less likely to have suffered heart problems, with self-satisfaction, happy working, family and sex lives being particularly important. 

 And the more content someone was, the healthier their heart, the European Heart Journal reports. It is thought that optimists fare better because they refuse to let bad health get them down. Those who look on the bright side are also more likely to follow their doctor's advice. Studies also show that pessimists and people who lack self-confidence have a greater risk of heart attacks and strokes than their more optimistic friends.

Summer arrived and eat watermelon

watermelon.jpg
Against the
large urban tavern - a new restaurant in the lakeside resort of Corus - gives the result of a friendly home for children in their salad grilled chicken $ 15, watermelon and feta cheese.

Best Grill & Bar in Steele Ave W., Alexei Posterniak grills slices of watermelon, drizzle with a dressing made ​​Greek, a blend of spices from the Middle East called za'atar and a balsamic reduction $ 9.

"People go crazy for my salad of watermelon, which is unusual," he says. "People eat fresh watermelon watermelon grilled, but not something they see every day."

He has shared a recipe. So has Lee, who wanted to add something “juicy and hydrating” to his summer menu and gravitated to watermelon.

For home cooks, there’s a kitchen gadget for everything, including slicing watermelons.

Kuhn Rikon now makes a serrated melon slicer that’s long and sharp enough to easily cut through thick melon skins. It’s also cutely coloured in red and green and comes with a safety sheath.

Algiers melon salad should not be complicated. A quick survey of recipes and chef shows the watermelon is likely to be combined with feta cheese and red onion, but that goes with tomatoes, oranges, basil, mint, parsley and cilantro. In general, dressed simply with a combination of extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar and fresh lemon juice.

"This is food on the beach, or at least outdoors, on a hot day with the sun's rays without obstacles," writes Ottolenghi. "Reminds me of warm nights of sweat on the promenade in Tel Aviv, when everyone is enjoying the beer, loud music and often a heated conversation."

Are you like Sand, Sun — or smokestacks?

 

 

 

Sunbathing at Sugar Beach could soon take a look at the power plant.

A power company based in Toronto proposed the construction of a cogeneration plant gas Redpath sugar in his 4.25 hectares of industrial land in the heart of the city's waterfront recently revitalized.

The installation of 45 megawatts they generate enough energy to supply 36,000 homes with electricity when operating at full capacity, equivalent to about 5 percent of the 700,000 customers of Toronto Hydro.

“This is truly a neighbourhood-sized facility,” said Scott Stevens of Northland Power Inc. He says the emissions will be a fraction of those produced by large electricity generators such as the 550-megawatt Portlands Energy Centre.

The $100-million proposed facility — a two-storey rectangular building with an emissions stack — would replace an unused warehouse at the Redpath refinery, which is on the water at the foot of Jarvis St.

Northland would sell the electricity to the grid and Redpath would purchase steam generated by the heat — the by-product of electricity generation — to process its sugar.

“It is a classic application for cogeneration,” says Stevens. “It’s a big steam consumer in an area where you need power.” Redpath uses about 60,000 kilograms of steam an hour.

Ontario Power Authority wants to add 500 megawatts of the combined heat and electricity plants in Ontario. OPA put out requests for submissions with a registration deadline of June 28.

But the government agency wouldn’t say how many registrations for cogeneration plants were received. “Somewhere between one and 100,” said Kevin Dick, the agency’s director of clean energy procurement, who said releasing the number could hurt the competitive process. The deadline for formal submissions is Sept. 1.

Opponents of nuclear power believe cogeneration is a less risky and more effective way to produce power. “It’s by far the most efficient way to use natural gas for electric power generation,” says Jack Gibbons, chair of the Ontario Clean Air Alliance. Gibbons believes this type of neighbourhood facility is the wave of the future.

“Portlands is a huge natural gas power plant, but there’s never been much political opposition to small-scale gas-fired power plants in Ontario,” says Gibbons. “It means we can help keep the lights on in Toronto if there’s a North American blackout — and keep good high-paying jobs at Redpath,” he says.

Waterfront Toronto, the government agency at the heart of revitalizing the East Bayfront and West Don Lands, is interested in talking to the company about potential power uses for the waterfront community, says Michelle Noble, the agency’s director of communications and marketing. The city has typically backed cogeneration and has put zoning in place in both waterfront communities to allow the use.

Northland connected to the network with a cable that runs underground beneath Queens Quay and Sherbourne St. to the substation Esplanade.

The electric company said that a detailed design for the power plant will be determined at a later stage. The company is holding a house open to the public at the Novotel Toronto Centre on July 20 from noon to 8 pm

Northland will submit a formal offer for the takeover bid in September and said that the company must meet in mid-October if the proposal is approved.
