An international team of archaeologists who have been working on the banks of the Nile in Sudan for many years has published data on numerous tombs of Nubian civilization. The study of scientists found that this culture developed in parallel with ancient Egypt and borrowed a lot from its neighbor. An article by one of the leaders of archeological work, Michelle R. Buson, appeared in The Conversation. She writes that thousands of years ago, Nubian culture in modern-day Sudan actively used underground tombs to bury their dead. These tombs have been excavated in the Tombos area, located on the banks of the Nile in northern Sudan. The excavations at the site have been going on for 20 years. Buson notes that the tombs were not the same. For example, some of them rise above the surface in the form of round mounds. This was not practiced in ancient Egypt, probably the original technology of the Nubians.
The mounds above protected the underground tombs, the construction of which began at least in 2500 BC. At that time this region was called the kingdom of Cush, and later was called Nubia. The new findings only confirmed the hypothesis that the ancient Kush prospered and successfully competed with Egypt, and sometimes even conquered it. But it so happened that the attention of researchers for the last two centuries has been focused on the study of ancient Egypt, and Sudan has stayed away. At the same time, researchers say that a civilization “parallel” to Ancient Egypt flourished here, whose achievements, including technical ones, sometimes surpassed those of the ancient Egyptians. By the way, archaeologists see in their discoveries the mutual cultural influence of the two powerful states of antiquity. Tombs built in the shape of pyramids were also discovered in Tombos. Maybe the Nubians just copied them from the famous pyramids of the pharaohs. But there is another version: the Cush pyramids could have been built by a dignitary of Ancient Egypt, who ruled Nubia during the New Kingdom around 1200 BC. “The tombs show us how people tried to present themselves and their families in public after death,” Buson wrote. – We can connect the position of the body of burials and the artifacts accompanying it in the grave with various cultural and religious practices. Thus, in one of the funerals of a middle-aged man, we found a bed and a coffin, which combine traditional Nubian and Egyptian customs. The tomb also contained bronze bowls, a decorated wooden box, a pile of amulets that were considered magical items, and a cache of iron weapons demonstrating the early use of iron in Nubia.
There is not a single just leader or political force in history that is mass-oriented, but in some very rare cases, provided that this is a phenomenon that can happen once every 100 years, we come across people like Mustafa. Kemal Ataturk. Today he is considered a saint in Turkey, his name is studied in the history of the country, but thanks to him, the harsh view of the Ottoman Empire is changing, and this ordeal takes a lifetime.
The Ottomans began their rise sometime in the 16th century and rapidly expanded their territory in the Balkans and then on to Central Europe. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Ottoman empire no longer had any control over Europe, and borders were closing very quickly. After the end of the First World War, all foreign territories were cut off and handed over to Great Britain and France. At that time, the government could not even react – the reason was that the British removed it much earlier, and in their great ambition to dispose of this distant territory. The humiliation is complete, but we must not forget that the Turks are not the only victims, the insane madness of the victors of the First World War will lay the roots for those shaped by the Second World War.
It is in this political and national crisis that people will emerge who not only cannot go back and blame the previous incompetent rulers, but also prefer to start building the new. And it is here that “The War That Will End All Wars” appears on the scene. By this time, the West had already decided to use all the tributaries and the Turkish front to allow a safe sailing line to Turkey.
At the time, Churchill was a naval commander and offered to use the ships to secure the tributaries, as well as to land an army, believing that the “Sick Man of Europe” would offer no resistance. The battle of Galipoli became another big mistake that Churchill would make, and the Turks, backed by Austrian officers, managed not only to punish the British for their audacity, but also to find a special leader in this regard – Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. After the battle, Ataturk will say only one thing:
“These heroes shed their blood and lost their lives.”
They lie in the ground on a friendly side. I hope they rest in peace. There is no big difference between the Djonovs and the Mehmedovs, who lie next to each other and are heroes of our country…
You, the Mothers who sent your sons to distant lands, wipe away your tears, your sons lie on our chests and are at peace, having lost their lives in our territory, now they are also our sons.
Despite some successful military maneuvers, the Ottoman Empire lost the war, and once British troops occupied Istanbul, the victors’ plans were to divide the territory. It is here that Mustafa Kemal will become actively involved in national politics. He refused to disband the military forces at his disposal and ordered the government to comply with the demands of the British, but continued to work undercover and support the resistance. In 1920, he was betrayed and arrested while fleeing, and received the death penalty, so the failure will be paid for with his life. Britain continued to cripple the empire until it finally dissolved the government. An armed conflict is expected, with Kemal leading the resistance. Battles take place on several fronts.
Despite the end of the war, the Turks did not agree with anyone else dictating their policies, and for this very reason the casualties on both sides were more than cruel. For many, the first global conflict seems to be continuing. By October 1922, the resistance had succeeded in taking its country back, and it was time, not for revenge, but for the much-dreamed reform that would put an end to all kinds of petty vicious practices that were pushing the country into the abyss. Mustafa Kemal has good ideas and is looking for Greece in January next year to decide on a population transfer.
The creation of territories with representatives of each of the parties is the only option for maintaining the tension and subsequently – its mitigation. Turkey, like any other country in the Balkans, must solve its problems with a multi-layered society. In 1923, the Republic of Turkey was established. In 1934 came the nickname of Mustafa – Ataturk – the father of the Turks. He was elected president and will serve only one term, for the simple reason that his wars have managed to reduce his life drastically. Unlike many new leaders today, he is particularly religious, but in no way tries to show his views or impose his religion as a leading force.
Interestingly, he removed the caliph, forbidding religious leaders from pressuring and dictating the rules of the population – he stressed that there must be a choice. He banned polygamy and began talking about women’s rights. For the first time, they will begin to appear in the law. The other interesting view in this direction is that the inspiration for modernization came with the help of the West.
All sharia and other laws that run counter to the official legal system are automatically banned and replaced by European laws. The language is standardized and Latin takes the place of the various dialects. Educational reform follows, which will provide more trained staff for the future, instead of being an obstacle for the current residents.
However, the economic crisis remains a problem. After the war, we will find that Atatürk inherits a huge debt and his main task for four years is to try to pay it off. Economic reforms began, a national bank was opened, investment was made in industry, and then the railways began to be actively improved. All this is happening within four years, and as we read the results, we must not forget that Atatürk had to fight on various fronts every day, inheriting a side on the brink of collapse, division and despotism. All this is done in the name of the people, in the name of a better morning, and instead of taking a step back to some very old traditions, the focus is elsewhere.
Turkey manages to build and reach the level we know today. The economy today is very different and developed, but we must also not forget that with the help of the vision for the future, other countries are also beginning to follow this example. Here we must not forget one more detail, Mustafa Kemal managed to build the state when many others were broken by the First World War. In this respect, Bulgaria is facing many problems and the influence from abroad is beginning to affect even more severely. Atatürk proves that even in the greatest crisis, steps forward are possible and can be taken.
There is another requirement for the creation of such a revolution – the trust of the people that one person can change them, to point the way forward, to guarantee a better tomorrow, while he in turn will have to think about everyone, not for a select minority, as we have already seen happen many times in world history. Ataturk died on November 10, 1938, leaving his country with a clear view of what exactly it should be and how it should develop.
Analysis of blood samples taken from Russian cosmonauts before and after their flight to the ISS showed that prolonged stay in space can provoke brain damage.
For years, scientists have investigated the adverse effects of space travel, including muscle wasting, bone changes, and visual impairment. Now German researchers from the Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich, with the support of colleagues from the University of Gothenburg and the Institute of Biomedical Problems at the Russian Academy of Sciences, have announced signs of damage to brain cells present in blood tests of people who have been in orbit.
As described in an article published in the journal Jama Neurology, scientists from 2016 to 2020 observed five Russian cosmonauts who spent an average of no more than 169 days on the ISS. Blood samples were taken from the crew members of the station 20 days before the start of a long space flight, as well as a day, a week, and 21-25 days after returning to Earth. The goal was to measure five biomarkers: neurofilament thin polypeptide (NEFL), glial fibrillar acidic protein, tau protein, and two amyloid-beta.
As it turned out, after a long stay in space in men, whose average age was 49 years, the concentrations of neurofilament, glial fibrillar acidic protein and beta-amyloid Aβ40 were significantly increased. The first provides structural support for the long processes of neurons and regulates the diameter of the axon, which affects the speed of nerve conduction. The second is the main structural protein of astrocytes in the central nervous system and is considered a biomarker of astroglial pathology in neurological diseases.
The third is prone to the formation of toxic plaques in the brain, and such accumulations of β-amyloid peptide are a biological sign and a factor in the development of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
“This is the first time that concrete evidence of brain cell damage has been documented in blood tests in humans after space flights. Our findings need to be further explored and taken into account if space travel becomes more common in the future, ”said Professor Henrik Zetterberg, one of the study’s senior authors. Scientists admit that when the astronauts were in orbit, a fluid shift occurred in their brains, and this could affect the blood-brain barrier between the circulatory and central nervous systems.
The suggestion that the changes described above may be related to impaired brain function is supported by changes that were also detected in magnetic resonance imaging after space travel. But further research is needed to understand what causes the damage. “If we can figure out what causes the abnormalities, the biomarkers we have found will help us understand how best to solve the problem,” Zetterberg concluded.
When talking about the influence of the location of the planets on destiny, people usually do not even remember that pets are also subject to zodiacal influence. This is especially true for dogs, which, unlike cats, are strongly attached to humans and adopt certain human traits and character traits. If the owner knows the exact date of birth of his pet, then it is easy to check the natal chart and make a horoscope.
Astrologer Veronika Avgurova studies the influence of the planets in the zodiacal circle and sees no reason to refuse to calculate the characteristics of dogs. She noted that “our tailed friends sometimes perceive celestial events even more because they are closer to nature than humans.” Here are just a few specific observations of astrologers about dogs whose birth dates fall into different zodiac signs.
1. German Shepherd
This breed is known for its social attachment to humans. It is genetically predisposed to humans and shows good protective functions. But, for example, the shepherd dog Aries is more difficult to train and train, it is more intelligent than executive. Such a dog can be explained, not commanded. He will listen carefully and will most likely comply with the request, albeit with a slight delay.
But the Sagittarius shepherds, on the contrary, carry out each command quickly and unquestioningly, because for them it is a great game with their favorite owner. Sometimes they are unrestrained in their emotions and can lightly bite his hands out of great love and it is almost impossible to wean them off.
2. Yorkshire Terrier
Everyone is familiar with this small but extremely energetic and emotional dog. His loud barking in the apartment can even be annoying, especially if you live in an apartment building and someone is constantly moving in front of the door. But take a closer look at Virgo – Yorkie, born under this sign, it is calmer. In the hallway, it will definitely not make noise all the time. But if an outsider has to enter the apartment, such a Yorkshire is quite capable of even biting in a fit of protection of the territory.
3. Golden Retriever
A wonderful companion and true friend – this is usually how this breed is characterized. And the most loyal among retrievers are usually Scorpios. Their devotion simply knows no bounds. The Scorpio Retriever cannot be forced into another room voluntarily. On a walk, he will also constantly revolve around the owner. But just try to offend such a dog. Like humans, the Scorpio Retriever is very vindictive, he will never forgive bad treatment. Although to commit such an irreparable crime, you have to work hard and certainly do not like dogs at all.
Finally, Veronika Avgurova noted that when choosing a puppy it is advisable to take into account not only the breed and exterior, but also to understand the exact date of birth by the breeder. This is necessary not only to celebrate the anniversary of the pet, but also to take into account the compatibility of the owner and the dog. The most favorable will be the coincidence of the zodiacal elements in a person and a chosen puppy.
Would you spend five months in Antarctica taking care of the mail and counting the penguins?
Sometimes a person wants not just to travel to a distant destination, but to stay longer. If the prospect of living in Antarctica for five months and working at the world’s most remote post office sounds tempting, now is the time to shine your resume.
The British organization Antarctic Heritage Trust has announced that it is looking for a team to deal with the post office, while taking over the maintenance of the Port Lockroy station on the island of Winke and counting the growing population of penguins. The organization is sending staff to Antarctica for the first time since the start of the 2020 pandemic.
Winke Island is a beautiful place with snowy hills, but the job advertisement explicitly warns that the work environment is a “physical and mental challenge”, so it is advisable for each candidate to consult their GP before applying for a job.
During their service (from November 2022 to March 2023, when it is “summer” in Antarctica), the selected candidates will have to process more than 80,000 letters, as well as work in the souvenir shop visited by tourists. The expected maximum temperatures during this time are around +10 degrees.
“Given the nature of Port Lockroy’s day-to-day maintenance tasks, we are looking for candidates with a range of skills such as experience in sales, cultural heritage, conservation and maintenance of buildings, and leadership or management,” the ad said.
Since the selected candidates will live together indoors for months, their selection team wants everyone to describe what it is like to be able to combine people with compatible qualities.
There is no running water on the island (including the toilet), as all provisions are delivered by ship, and garbage is exported in the same way. Employees can bathe on board arriving ships. The rooms in which the employees will live are described as “ordinary but comfortable”. There is no internet or good phone coverage.
The port of Port Locroy was built in 1944 and is currently one of the most visited places in Antarctica, including tourist cruises.
The minimum wage in France will automatically increase from May 1 by 2.65% or about 34 euros due to high inflation since November, the French Ministry of Labor announced, AFP reports. For full-time work, the monthly minimum wage will become 1645.58 euros gross. The net salary will increase from 1269 to 1302.64 euros. The gross hourly minimum wage is 10.85 euros compared to 10.57 euros so far.
In France, the purchasing power of minimum wage workers is protected by an automatic indexation mechanism enshrined in law, which ensures that the minimum wage rises at least as fast as inflation affecting the lowest-income households.
According to the final data on the consumer price index in March, published today by the National Statistical Institute, inflation, excluding tobacco, between November 2021 and March 2022 reached 2.65 percent for 20% of households with lowest income.
The minimum wage rose 0.9 percent in January after an extraordinary 2.2 percent rise in October, also due to inflation. For one year (from May 2021 to May 2022) the increase of the minimum wage in the country is 5.9 percent or purely 72 euros. Annual inflation in March reached 4.5 percent in France, an unprecedented level since the 1980s, the statistical institute said, confirming its preliminary estimate from the end of March. This paves the way for the automatic indexation of the minimum wage from 1 May. In February, the consumer price index rose by 3.6 percent.
As in previous months, the acceleration of inflation is explained by the rise in energy prices, which in March reached 29.2 percent compared to +21.1 percent in February. Petroleum products rose 43.5 percent as a result of market tensions following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The increase in food prices also intensified, by 2.9 per cent compared to 2.1 per cent in February. The prices of fresh products increased by 7.6 percent in one year. On the other hand, industrial goods slowed down to 2.1 percent from 2.2 percent in February.
People from different Bulgarian governments have also taken part in the biggest financial pyramid in history, according to one of their lawyers.
Victims of crypto queen Ruzha Ignatova, who lured thousands with her OneCoin pyramid, want to sue Bulgaria for $ 20 billion. This is clear from documents submitted by one of the lawyers of the victims, Dr. Jonathan Levy, who is authorized to represent a large part of the people who lost their money in the scheme of the Bulgarian Ignatova, writes BG VOICE.
According to the lawsuit, Bulgaria has done nothing to prevent fraud, which has led to huge losses for investors. To date, they are estimated at $ 20 billion.
Dr. Levy also addressed the Ombudsman of Bulgaria. So far, however, there is no procedure before any court in the country and abroad on the complaint of Dr. Levy.
Dr. Levy claims that OneCoin is the largest financial pyramid in history, and people from various Bulgarian governments have taken part in it. Proof is that no government has done what is necessary to seize the assets of Ruzha Ignatova and OneCoin. It even still had active bank accounts, real estate, and 230,000 bitcoins valued at more than $ 16 billion.
This is due to court documents quoted from the website Vitsoin.com.
Ruzha Ignatova founded Onesoin together with her brother Konstantin Ignatov in 2014. The scheme was something like a multi-level marketing network, including packages that were seemingly linked to a blockchain network. Ignatova told her “clients” and the general public that OneSoin would be the most dominant cryptocurrency and that in the end it would be.
The headquarters of the company is based in Bulgaria, but it is registered as an offshore company in Dubai.
At the end of 2016, it became public knowledge that the project had never used any type of blockchain technology. In 2017, the American law enforcement agencies issued a secret order for Ignatov’s arrest. She disappeared a little later.
Konstantin Ignatov is appealing in 2019. Since then, the lawsuits continue. U.S. officials say “the OneCoin scam has taken about $ 4 billion in victims worldwide.”
Where is Ruzha Ignatova?
The wanted Bulgarian can hide in different places. Various reports in recent years suggest that it may be located in the UAE, Greece or Russia. One of the most popular versions is the one for Dubai, as the United Arab Emirates and the United States do not share an extradition agreement.
According to the decreed court documents, the deal for the acquisition of the current 230,000 bitcoins took place in October 2017. At that time, the virtual currency traded for about 6,000 dollars.
The brother of the crypto queen Ruzha Ignatova managed to escape the impending sentence of 90 years in prison. Konstantin was detained in the United States, but is no longer one of the main defendants in the OneCoin trial, after reaching an agreement with the plaintiffs ‘investors’ lawyers.
Details of the court settlement remain unclear, but representatives of all investors who have suffered heavy financial losses from the fraud say they “do not interfere in any way” with further investigation against other defendants. It is clear from the cited documents that the process will continue to be directed at another key figure in OneCoin – Konstantin’s sister Ruzha Ignatova, who is the founder of the company considered the Ponzi Scheme, ie a financial pyramid.
While the exact reasons for settling the case are not yet clear, it is now clear that Ignatov has spoken out against his missing sister. His words became known that he provided the state government with information “about the crimes I committed and any information I had about OneCoin and its associates and the crimes committed there.”
Ignatov claims they are the work of members of his family. These were his sister and his mother Veska, who played an important role in the work of OneCoin.
Constantine himself had even hired a private investigator to find Rose, but he swears he hasn’t spoken to her since she disappeared. Months ago, he claimed, it was covered by dissatisfaction with hundreds of thousands of dollars invested by investors who realized it was a pyramid. Ignatov admitted that he lied, claiming that he had contact with his sister before he was detained. This has been going on for a long time since it has already gone underground. OneCoin customers were told that Ruza ran the business.
Vitamin D is the only known vitamin that can be produced independently by the human body under the influence of sunlight. Its deficiency quickly causes serious health problems. This vitamin helps absorb calcium and supports the functioning of the thyroid gland. The body signals its deficiency with the help of three tangible symptoms, namely:
1. Fatigue Scientists have found that a lack of vitamin D leads to a decrease in activity levels and increased fatigue in humans. This fact is proved by the results of a study by American doctors. It involved people with vitamin D deficiency. About 77% of them said they were very tired, and after treatment with high doses of this vitamin, their condition improved significantly.
2. Bone pain or muscle weakness Vitamin D ensures the health of the skeletal system – this is its main function. Contributes to the complete absorption of calcium. In the absence of this vitamin, a person may experience bone pain and muscle weakness. This conclusion was reached by scientists whose study was published in the journal Musculoskeletal Medicine.
3. Depression
The results of a study published in the journal Issues in Mental Health Nursing show that vitamin D deficiency can lead to the development of depression and other mental disorders. This substance supports the proper development and functioning of the brain, and also participates in the regulation of an enzyme that is necessary for the production of the hormones dopamine, adrenaline and norepinephrine. They provide a good mood and well-being. Lack of vitamin D leads to deterioration of hair and teeth, as well as an increase in blood pressure. To compensate for the lack of this substance, you need to add some important foods to your diet. An excellent source of vitamin D is oily fish, in particular the liver of fatty fish, such as cod. Suitable are mackerel, sardines, herring. It is better for the fish to be wild than the cold seas. It has the highest amount of vitamin D and omega-3, say nutritionists. At the same time it is better not to fry such fish, but to roast it. You can also include canned foods in your diet. Lack of vitamin D is also manifested in frequent colds, bad mood, irritability.
Vitamin D is needed to normalize bone mineral density. That is, it prevents the development of osteoporosis, ensures the normal mineralization of bones, and this applies to teeth and nails.
The sun vitamin is essential for maintaining the normal functioning of a number of tissues and organs. Vitamin D deficiency is common – in 50 to 90% of the population depending on the settlement, which requires raising the question of its intake in the form of drops or tablets. Knowing that vitamin D is a source of health for bones, teeth, musculoskeletal system, helps to achieve remission in autoimmune diseases, takes care of modulating the innate and acquired immune system, protects against viral diseases, successfully copes with some problems with your thyroid, reproductive system, hormones and skin, you are probably taking vitamin D.
However, if you do it wrong, the result will be zero, and it is possible that the wrong intake will lead to disabilities and health problems. We have prepared for you the most common mistakes that are made when taking vitamin D3 to help restore body levels fully, easily, quickly and safely for health.
1. You are not taking the right dose On most packages you will read a dose of about 400 IU. However, this is the minimum and it is insufficient if you suffer from an autoimmune disease. Most rheumatologists prescribe at least 1,000 IU, and some sources indicate greater benefits than taking about 3,000 IU. If the decision to take is up to the patient and is not backed by tests, it is good to follow the instructions on the package. If the deficiency is proven and the doctor has prescribed a higher dose – the intake should be according to the prescription.
2. You forget to take vitamin K with vitamin D Very few people know that vitamin D3 should be taken together with K2. In case of K2 deficiency and taking shock doses of D3, side effects unfavorable to health have been observed for a long time. Among them is the fact that D3 accumulates in the kidneys, not where needed. The combined formula – D3 + K2 is the optimal choice, as the manufacturer has perfectly balanced the necessary levels of these two vitamins.
3. You collect the sun with a sunscreen product Yes, this is also a vitamin D intake, but it is natural – from the sun’s rays. It’s great to protect your skin and take preventive measures against aging and skin cancer, but sunscreens do not allow the synthesis of vitamin D. Leave your hands from wrists to shoulders unprotected for at least 20-30 minutes a day to get your precious vitamin from the sun.
4. You do not take the right vitamin D If your package says D2, then your choice is wrong. Vitamin D3 is what you need. It is much more fully absorbed and is much more effective than D2. A number of studies such as those published in NIM prove this fact. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9771862/
5. You forget that taking even a vitamin can be dangerous if you exceed the norms
Although rare, vitamin D3 is toxic in amounts much higher than acceptable. Although a vitamin, it is still a medicinal product and everything related to it should be discussed with your doctor. The article is for information only and does not replace consultation with a doctor. We advise you not to engage in self-medication.
a ruined cube tower that someone else has built; ·
toys, play paraphernalia and other things that children have not been able to share or that one child takes from another; ·
different views of children on the choice of joint play, game situations, characters, their actions, distribution of roles; ·
disputes about the correctness of the game actions. Preventing conflicts between children The causes of conflict situations depend on age. At the age of 2-3, children most often quarrel over toys that cannot be shared and broken structures. At this age, children go through the next stage of personality formation – for a while they become ardent owners and very severely encroach on “their” things. At the same time, children still do not know how to fully express their emotions in words. Therefore, conflicts are usually resolved with the help of physical force, crying and adult participation. By the age of 4-5, children in kindergarten begin to interact more actively with each other. Disputes over the choice of joint games, the desire or unwillingness to play together come to the fore. In preschool, the causes of conflict become even more diverse – children may have different views on the rules of the game, the distribution of roles and the behavior of players. Which children are most prone to conflict in kindergarten? In every preschool there are children who have or because of whom conflict situations most often arise. They may have different behaviors: ·
Aggressive – irritated when not listened to, harassed others. ·
Complainant – always finds a reason for dissatisfaction and expresses it. ·
Silent – calm, speaks little, so it is difficult for other children and the teacher to understand what he wants. ·
Too responsive – agrees with everyone. ·
Omniscient – believes that only he knows how and what to do. ·
Indecisive – makes decisions for a long time, is afraid of mistakes.
Maximalist – wants everything right now. ·
Secret – hides complaints and can take revenge on the offender when he has forgotten about his bad behavior. ·
Liar – spreads false or unverified information, transfers his evil deeds to others.
Children who cause conflicts in preschool seek to communicate with their peers, but do not know how to do so due to the peculiarities of their character and upbringing. Many of them try to establish themselves in the team with the help of disputes and quarrels. The educator must explain to the children that in communicating with others they must be able to negotiate, express their point of view and listen to others. What must be done:
1. Create rules of behavior in the group: do not quarrel, do not use offensive nicknames, do not take toys from each other, ask permission if you want to take something from someone else, etc. 2. Talk about real or imagined conflict situations, encouraging children to analyze – ask what caused the quarrel, how they would feel in the place of each participant, how to reconcile the warring parties.
3. Organize games that show examples of right and wrong behavior in conflict situations. 4. Encourage children who are trying to create conflicts to behave properly.
5. Explain to the children that any contentious situation can be resolved through compromise. How to resolve a children’s conflict in kindergarten, if it has arisen?
Not all conflict situations between children require the intervention of adults. Small battles are usually decided by themselves. They are extremely important for socialization, teach children to resolve conflicts on their own, the ability to find a compromise. If the conflict is serious, the teacher should not just call the children to order. He must become a mediator in a dispute:
find a compromise that will satisfy all parties to the conflict;
partial or complete elimination of the cause of the quarrel;
Dr. Zheko Naychov graduated in medicine in Sofia in 2006. He started working as an intern in the clinic of cardiac and vascular surgery at Lozenets Hospital, where he still works today. In 2009 he went to Japan as a full-time doctoral student in the Department of Surgery at the University of Hiroshima, where he defended his doctorate. After returning to Bulgaria in 2013, he became a part-time assistant at the Department of Surgery at the Medical Faculty of Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”. Participates in various educational and research projects in Bulgaria and abroad. Outside of the field of surgery, his research interests are related to research on the healing properties of various medicinal plants.
Every week, Dr. Naychov answers questions from standartnews.com readers. The Easter for the family of Eastern Orthodox Christians just passed and we share this article about the Easter eggs.
• If you do not have allergies or specific diseases, relax it a bit
• Avoid the use of raw, interfere with an important vitamin
Whether we are fasting or not, we are all looking forward to the festive Easter table, where eggs have a special place. Much can be said about the religious and philosophical symbolism of the Easter egg, of the egg in general, or of which comes first: it or the hen. What I intend to do is focus on the health aspects of its consumption.
Since ancient times, eggs have been one of the most affordable sources of complete protein
In the traditional Bulgarian village, even the poorest people raised at least one or two chickens in the yard. The wealthier, who had more meat on the table, could not afford to eat it every day. In our time, when meat is often cheaper than vegetables, it is difficult to imagine, but in times when there were no refrigerators, the slaughter of an animal was a serious action, suggesting a clear plan for what will happen to meat, so as not to spoil. While with eggs it was just the opposite – the hens lay regularly and it is even advisable to eat the produce on time, because otherwise it will be wasted. It would not be an exaggeration to say that in our lands, along with wheat and dairy products, eggs have always been a staple food.
They are first and foremost an extremely valuable source of protein. The very word for protein in Bulgarian comes from the name of part of the egg – the protein. It is the closest in composition to the so-called. reference protein – a theoretical “ideal protein” in which the ratio of its constituent amino acids best meets the needs of the human body. In addition, eggs contain almost all the necessary vitamins
and minerals, as well as a moderate amount of fat, with almost no carbohydrates. That is why they are widely recommended in fitness diets.
Of course, it is not possible that something is so good and there are no downsides. The main disadvantages of eggs are the following.
Probably the most frightening of all is the high cholesterol content in the yolk. When elevated blood cholesterol levels proved to be a risk factor for developing atherosclerosis, eggs were immediately branded harmful. At the time, it was thought that the level of cholesterol in the blood depended directly on food, and we outright forbade patients to eat eggs. It took a long time before it was proven that this was not the case. Undoubtedly, there is a relationship, but it is not as strong as previously thought.
Today we know for sure that one egg a day does not affect the risk of developing cardiovascular disease in Caucasians and even reduces this risk in Asians. As for larger quantities, the data from the studies are rather contradictory. The main problem with this type of research on the relationship between nutrition and disease comes from the fact that people who tend to take more care of themselves are also willing to pay attention to the fashion recommendations for healthy eating.
Declare a food healthy now and you will find that in twenty years, research will really prove it as such. Why? Well, because people who care more about their health will start eating it. They will live longer and be healthier than those who do not pay much attention to themselves, not because they have eaten the praised food, but because they have taken better care of themselves overall. And it will be very, very difficult to prove what the contribution of this particular factor really is.
Something similar happens with the consumption of eggs. When trying to study their effects on heart health, scientists inevitably face the fact that people who eat more eggs, at the same time overeat, tend to take fewer drugs and are more obese. Then prove what exactly is the reason for their increased incidence of cardiovascular disease.
Another thing we need to pay attention to when it comes to the consumption of eggs is their effect on the already diseased gallbladder.
People with such problems should avoid eggs and I communicate this to everyone else. Those affected know it without anyone telling them, and avoid eggs because they are immediately tempted to feel serious discomfort.
Of course, people with egg allergies should not eat them either.
Finally, food poisoning is on the rise. Unfortunately, there is not much to do with them, except to pay attention to the origin of the eggs we eat. Whoever happens to come across infected eggs, the feeling is unpleasant, but rarely lead to more serious complications. The main cause is salmonella. The problem is that the toxin it releases is neither taste nor smell and is not destroyed by high temperatures. That is, if you come across Salmonella-infected eggs, even if you boil or cook them in another way, the bacteria will die, but the toxin they produce while they are alive will remain and cause us considerable trouble when we swallow it.
From everything we have seen so far, we have not focused only on the consumption of raw eggs. In short, avoid it. The reasons for this are as follows. First and foremost, due to its high nutritional value, eggs are a great environment for the development of all kinds of microbes
And even if they do not have the already mentioned salmonella, raw eggs and foods prepared with them can be a source of other infections. It is no coincidence that mayonnaise, ice cream and other foods traditionally made with raw eggs are now made with egg powder. It is treated and properly sterilized so that it does not pose a health risk.
The other reason why it is good to avoid raw eggs requires a little more detailed explanation. One of the proteins contained in eggs is called avidin and has a very high affinity for vitamin H.
Both substances form a healthy complex so that the vitamin cannot be absorbed by the human body. Daily consumption of raw eggs can lead to a deficiency of this vitamin in the body. During heat treatment, avidin loses its properties and can no longer interfere with the absorption of vitamin H.
After all, Easter is once a year, and especially if you’re not in the habit of over-consuming eggs for the rest of the year, I don’t see anything wrong with letting it end a bit and pleasing yourself. As long as you do not have specific reasons to avoid eggs and do not overdo them regularly, there is no point in depriving yourself of this tasty and complete source of nutrients and energy.
