The bell shows pictures den.Bell - one of the indispensable attributes of Christmas In kolyadnikov have bells that they ring during the march. Bell - one of the indispensable attributes of the Christmas holidays, while church bells ringing in the yuletide came from the pagan winter celebrations.

To exorcise the evil spirit had to be very noisy and the tradition of ringing bells, survives to this day. At Christmas time in the belfry of the world hear the bells ringing, but not to expel evil spirits and to welcome the coming of Christ. Conservative Czechs, for example, the Christmas table is always served grilled carp, potato salad and a small sugar cookies - tsukrovi ", and invite guests to the celebration of Christmas is almost in bad taste. Under the Czech Christmas table without fail must be based on garlic, and Christmas divination is a mandatory attribute of the holiday.

In Sweden, Christmas Day (Yul) - the main festival, preparations for which begin in two - three weeks: brew beer, bake bread, a traditional biscuit (in the shape of a pig or a goat). Belief persists, and the healing properties of the Christmas bread and beer. Finns can not imagine Christmas without straw strewn floor. Straw carpet, even the Christmas table, and unmarried girls on Christmas Eve to go to bed on a straw bed, so they had a constricted. The Baltic countries have retained many ancient traditions and rites. Estonia, for example, likes to adorn their heads with wreaths of its citizens, as was customary in old age. A Lithuanian traditional Christmas dinner consists of fish dishes and the best seat at the owners always leave for unexpected guests. From time immemorial, people wondered at the New Year, during Christmas time for Christmas. Christmas time - the winter holidays with Christmas Eve on December 24 to January 6 (Epiphany) is considered the best time for divination, especially on Christmas Eve (Christmas Eve). Come true - do not come to pass, how will you believe divination or not, it does not really matter. Many divination, unfortunately, are not applicable to modern man, well, such as those where it is recommended to "withdraw from the stables of the horse", "remove the perch chicken" or "bring into the house of a rooster." But, showing ingenuity, living in big cities, people can also try to ask fate, using available methods. You can tell fortunes in any book. Romantic ladies suit collections of poetry, pragmatic - prose, bold - action-packed detective. Ask your question and open the book at random. By a fragment of text that caught my eye can judge the future. You can not open a book at random and pre-select the page number and line number: for example, page 25, 7 th row from the top. Try as their favorite number (each person has their favorite numbers, numbers), and those that you do not like, compare the results. If you like odd numbers, to try their luck not only on the even and odd numbers and on. Interesting, fun and delicious "Divination is obtained by means of chocolate eggs" Kinder Surprise ". Buy a chocolate egg, and a toy, located inside, draw a conclusion about what awaits you in the coming year. For example, a toy boat is a harbinger of long-range travel, funny elephant figurine promised fun and lighthearted year, and the dragon in the pose of the construction manager will tell you that within a year you will command the people around them, confidently connecting them to their own plans. And if you have to put a plastic picture of several parts - the most likely in the coming year will have to solve puzzling problems. To interpret these figures, it is necessary to connect the imagination, but all the same conclusions will be easier than guessing on wax or coffee grounds. Very funny turns guessing, if you buy chocolate eggs, not only for themselves but for friends, family members and acquaintances to guess the whole company. You can go to learn the fate of a strange box. Go to any home and stand near a window. Listen to what is happening inside. If you hear laughter, then the year will be joyful, happy, happy. If you become a witness to a quarrel, in the coming year wait for conflicts and troubles. Weeping may signal an impending disaster. If you guessing about his personal life, the voices that you hear, too, can tell how will shape the personal and family relationships. For example, an unmarried woman can hear the voices of old or young, and a man - a pleasant or angry voice are enschiny. In line with this we can conclude about the nature or age of the future husband or wife about what family life is waiting for you. Guess you can not just under the windows, listening to strange voices. You can just go out and draw the appropriate conclusions to the first comer. If a girl or unmarried woman first counter is an attractive man or young person, in the coming year we can hope for a successful personal life. Same for the men - a pretty girl or woman can give hope to the device of privacy in the coming year. A meeting with a man or old woman for the stronger sex is hardly a harbinger of good changes, most likely the year will be "empty" with regard to their personal lives. If you're not going to leave the house to tell fortunes with cards. Write your New Year wishes on small pieces of paper, fold them in a deep bowl, a cap or a plastic bag and mix. Take out the guesswork three notes, of which you will understand how the desire for the new year come true. In a cap or bowl can be folded not only notes but also the decoration of the stone, silver, gold, wood. Close the cap (bowl) with a scarf or towel. Closing his eyes, pull out at random the first available object. Pull the gold - to riches, silver - to prosperity, the tree - to poverty, the stone - a stable income for which it will have to work hard. Ring will fall - to the device private life, and possibly for a wedding, a brooch - promises romantic connections, the chain can bring trouble or unwanted obligations forced responsibilities, including family problems, and boring marriage. Remove the earring - to gossip, unnecessary rumors, gossip, and a bracelet - in the new year will be a lot of work. But using this guessing, to be honest - you can not feel objects, choosing your favorite thing. Removing the need to once and only something that has got a hand, or divination will not come true. Those who celebrate the New Year at the cottage or in the countryside, you can tell fortunes in the woodpile. Need to approach the woodpile, and closing his eyes, pull out random log. Smooth, thick, without knots and imperfections log promise prosperous life, my affairs, wealth. A knotty - family arguments, difficulties in personal life. If you dragged a log ragged, bark-free - expect financial problems. And if you log crooked or broken, in the coming year are possible illnesses and setbacks. Wherever you meet this bright holiday, where would you neither brought her fate, the main one: Christmas Day - a day that symbolizes the beginning, the festival that carries light and calm day, when you need to think about his place in life and give yourself a promise to rise above and better. Christmas - a celebration of light and color, a feast of love conquering all people. Christ narodivsya - slavіmo Yogo! Celebrating Christmas. Feast of the Nativity is in the Orthodox church tradition, a special place. Liturgical charter and church calendar emphasizes the particular importance of this holiday because it anticipates a long post, just before the holiday becoming particularly severe. By statute, from 2 January (New Style) is not allowed to eat fish. These last few days before Christmas are called Forefeast days. They introduce the Orthodox faithful in a festive atmosphere, to prepare them to experience and understand the contents of the event celebrated the fact that during worship in the days Forefeast already sing some Christmas hymns, read the canons, revealing different sides of the coming holiday. Two days before Christmas in the churches read the Gospel stories of Christmas. These four Christmas stories - one for each of the canonical Gospels, but as the Gospel of John for details of Christmas is not transferred, then read excerpts from the first three Gospels - Matthew, Mark and Luke. Finally, the very day of strict fasting - on the eve of Christmas, called the Eve of Christmas or Christmas Eve. It is the custom, as a sign of reverent expectation of the spiritual celebration of Christmas night, do not eat the food that day until dusk, until the first star in the sky, reminiscent of the Star of Bethlehem, once led the Magi and shepherds to the cradle of the Divine Child Jesus.

A new enemy - a "very bad" cholesterol

All've probably already memorized: cholesterol is "bad" and "good." But recently the medical world is suddenly talking about a new type of cholesterol - "very bad" cholesterol. Chinese scientists have discovered a new type of highly dangerous cholesterol - oksiholesterin. According to them, it provokes the development of fried foods and processed intermediates. Chinese researchers say that the production oksiholesterina in the body begins at the time of the reaction between oxygen and fats of animal origin and saturated fatty acids. These compounds are obtained in abundance, where people often consume fried fatty meat, smoked meat and foods rich in so-called short carbohydrates (flour). In clinical studies, Chinese experts have determined that the active consumption of "harmful" foods in the body leads to the production of "bad" (LDL) cholesterol, but after reaching a certain point the body begins to produce oksiholesterin (generation of LDL-cholesterol while increasing on average by quarter) . Today it is known that oksiholesterin is extremely dangerous for human body because it most quickly lead to clogging of the arteries and blood clots in blood vessels and heart muscle.
 The Knight- Discussion of this topic provoked scholars from Hong Kong, which had a very serious study of Lp (a)-cholesterol (oxidized cholesterol or oksiholesterina) and proved that the plaques in blood vessels arise from it much faster and there are more. The report of this they have done in Washington at the annual congress of the American Chemical Society - Alexander Miller, a dietitian. - Speech on the health topic among chemists hardly accidental, it's kind of entry "side." Physicians for many years focused on the issue of ordinary cholesterol is not actively studying its oxidized form, although the suspicion of its special dangers were "very bad cholesterol" before. It is appropriate to recall the history of trans fats. This specially processed liquid vegetable oils that are solid. Most of them were in margarines and cooking vegetable fats, which food industry added to breads, confectionaries, semi-finished products, ice cream, but almost all products where fats are used - not to apply the same for this precious butter. Learn about their presence in the product can be "password" - "partially hydrogenated oil": they all contain a decent dose of trans fat. For decades, they ignored the injury and the doctors even recommended their rich margarines as useful products. But when, by 1997, to form a "critical mass" of the negative and downplay the problem was simply indecent, all rushed together to criticize the trans fats. Now in the West, they are effectively abandoned. In Russia the situation worse, but the scale of their use still declined slightly.  Oksiholesterin like trans fats for another reason: both substances are key components of the food industry. They make a product a nice view and a pleasant texture. Abandon them - it means incurring huge financial losses. The story of the oksiholesterinom reminiscent recent history with the ban be diluted with water, dry milk, and sell under the guise of this. When the milk is dried into a powder, it produces a lot of oksiholesterina. Unfortunately, milk powder pressed only in part - from it you can do all the other dairy products. At the last moment, the amendment still pushed through in the milk regulations. Dried egg powder, in contrast to whole eggs, too, is rich in oxidized cholesterol. And it also adds a lot of products. For example, if you buy a pancake flour, then there will only egg powder. Home kitchen, too, can easily oxidize cholesterol. This happens with meat and poultry, if they cook at high temperatures - fried, baked, grilled or make charcoal. But the same meat and poultry, cooked, stewed, steamed, oksiholesterina hardly contain. By the way, the oxidation process can slow down, if we add during cooking antioxidants - herbs, spices, sauces based on red wine and beer. Richly flavored of meat and poultry, cook for them based marinades.Act itself!- Expulsion oksiholesterina of the food industry will take a long time, - says Alexander Miller. - First, dirt will accumulate in animal studies. Like the one that had scientists from Hong Kong. Then, according to modern canons of evidence-based medicine, we need more extensive monitoring of tens of thousands of people to compare the incidence among consuming oksiholesterin in different quantities. All about everything will take 15-20 years. And then all will be, as with trans fats. But no one is stopping you now drive themselves to the risk of your kitchen. And the sooner the better. There is every reason to believe that this substance has a systemic adverse effect, disrupt the cell membranes, enzymes, genetic apparatus. This means that leads to the mass of different diseases. And another important point. The drugs used to lower cholesterol, most likely, are useless against oksiholesterina. They affect the enzymes in the liver, reducing the synthesis of the ordinary, normal cholesterol and cholesterol that - crazy. Downgrade it helps products, antioxidants - fruits, vegetables, nuts, tea, red wine and foods, prevents the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine. The conclusion from all this is simple: now to avoid the accumulation of oksiholesterinza can only be due to regular consumption of foods rich in antioxidants, such as fresh fruit or vegetables and, therefore, meat and poultry is always better to eat with vegetables and salads, for example, than with potatoes or pasta.

Online Game: how to create something that will bring real money?

Creating online games - a tricky business, even thinner East. After all, it must be embodied a whole world, moreover, it has become a kind of reflection of the real world, his surrogate replacement - otherwise no one wanted to play it. Should be intriguing, able to interest potential players of various age categories. Eternal human values - love, friendship, and even desirable - the possibility of family (in this case, of course, psevdosemeynyh) relations. And yet, all is not guarantee that the game will bring a very real income, measured in quantities of convertible currency. Thus, the creation of an online game. We will not consider games like checkers, chess and others like them - quiet options for games that require thinking. This is - for the intellectuals, for "nerds." It's about the games that are available to everyone, ranging from plumbing and finishing with an academician, you can play with as long as the opportunity to reach the keyboard, and till the last day, even in senile insanity, even in the infant pink shades. It is these games generate maximum revenue. But the players they do not think they were fighting, moving from one battlefield to another. The first thing that must be present in a game - a fascinating story that should unfold in the vast virtual world. Man-made scenes reminiscent of the real world, are not the best. Such a world everyone sees every day and the game is not particularly welcomed. The game should open a hitherto unknown worlds, allow to plunge into a tale that is different from everyday reality. Therefore, the optimal choice: worlds a la the middle ages, but with an admixture of magic (the magic especially now in vogue, to see this, simply read the ads in the newspapers). Space battles are also relatively well, but much inferior to the Middle Ages - not everyone wants to look into the future, but try their hand at "past" - is another matter. Mandatory condition: plot of the game must be with an open ending. That is, no finals by definition not provided. Otherwise the player to the end and finish the killing Most Important Plokhish, simply go into another game. And this - the loss of a potential taxpayer money. Therefore, there should be if not a permanent improvement of the world, the existence of permanent enemies, which can kill every day. And here he is, the key of success and revenue of online games: Must be provided for the confrontation of races. Every day, killing computer design drawn monsters are not too interesting. But if on the other side of the screen real live enemy (ie, another real player), the game takes an entirely different color. And here it is from here that the rate of return. Pays for what a player, especially when it was initially attracted by free online games? For powerful armor, weapons, driving and fighting animal, and so forth - in short, a weapon of destruction. But only in one case, a willingness to invest not only time but also the very real money: if it comes to destroying the living enemy. It should be noted that this same enemy is alive in similar circumstances, and he on the other side of the monitor is the same almost real "bad guy". And, therefore, also pouring real money into the game. The process goes on increasing, if only the creators of the game have provided additional options for the development and improvement of weapons of attack and defense, as well as bonuses for each murder is not drawn monster - namely, the other player. For example: a donation so many deaths of enemies to the goddess, spirit, dragon keeper - and you will have additional opportunities (for example, the goddess, flattered by the gift will enhance the impact, will increase the vitality of the character). It is important that these options were limited in time, so there is incentive for new offerings, and, therefore, for new financial investments. Very well, if in the game, not only the opposition of two races, but the division of each race at a small community. After all, everyone tends to tying friendship - is a natural consequence of the instinct of survival. Convenient if friendships can be transferred to the new game level, for example, the creation of the clan. This - not only convenience of users, but also an additional way to pumping out real money out of the game. Someone from the clan gets the most "cool" armor, mount a powerful and militant animal and gun of the latest model. Naturally, everyone else will start to seek the same. Herd instinct, unfortunately, has not been canceled. In addition, the ragamuffin be awkward if everyone else look like royalty. And another bit of real money kapnet creators of the game. Instinct of procreation - another way to get money. Of course, in the virtual world we can talk only about surrogate relationship (although it should be noted that often the virtual dating and relationships translate into something quite real), but the relationship in any case are present. And heterosexual characters interact. How can I express my sympathy, appreciation, and so on the character of the opposite sex? The easiest way - to present a souvenir. Virtual, but nevertheless, not cheap. If this souvenir is also useless for the game - the better. Conclusion virtual marriage in the gaming space - extra money for the ceremony as well as on painted wedding rings and gifts to the newlyweds. All this requires money, and game profession (such too should be provided to lure players who initially against the investment of real money) is traditionally do not provide the required level of "gaming revenue" of the character. Therefore - once again the real money. Yet without virtual registry offices, souvenirs and other small things you can do. Will be sufficient to counter races - and the game will flow very real banknotes. So if you want to create a financially successful online game, refer to create the image of eternal enemy, but not painted, but almost the present. And a little lyrical conclusion. You have read all of the above. You still scared? Do you still want to play online games? You want to play them are your children? And it is not in the cost of the player drawn to acquire a weapon or a magic elixir of fearlessness. Namely, in the key position of such games: the confrontation of races. Think: what will make the game a child, a teenager? What is the idea of the real world, he has emerged as a result of such games? Maybe, on second thoughts, you're still scared. And offer your child a real relationship, real parental care and guardianship, rather than subcontract his upbringing computer, and even more so - the online games.

What to look for when choosing wine?

What affects the quality of wine? Experts say that the defining are four factors: the local peculiarities of climate and soil, weather conditions, the cultivation and harvest, skill winemaker, storage and transportation of the product to the consumer. Winemaker's skill is hidden behind the brand manufacturer. Firms value their name and try to produce only quality products. Which of the brands preferred - in principle, a matter of taste. It is generally recommended to stop the choice on the well-known and reputable manufacturers operating in the market for a long time. On the other hand - the young company can survive the competition only at the expense of quality. Bulk buyer usually pays attention to cheap wines. Argued that the price niche up to $ 8 per bottle to find a quality product is difficult. Maybe so, but the search is still worth it. Pay attention to some of the nuances. Bright and eye-catching labels that adorn wine bottles not only delight the eye, but also attract the unsuspecting buyer. And it is in vain. Among the producers of quality wines is that the bright label - moveton. Usually, it is intended "to compensate for" shortcomings of the bottle contents. For marketing purposes on the labels can find different combinations with the word grand - great. In fact, labels such as grand vin, grand reserve, grand cuvee and the other does not carry any information and any not binding manufacturer, and therefore attention to these labels do not pay. Connoisseurs of wine always pay attention to the region in which wine is grown raw materials - grapes. If the region is specified on the label - it was good. But often write only the country of origin, something like "from grapes grown in top vineyards of Australia." Recall geography. Australia - a continent where you can find places with very different climatic and soil characteristics. The larger size of the region, stated on the label, the ordinary wine, the "average" taste without the individual character and features. The smaller the geographical unit, the greater the likelihood that a quality product in a bottle bearing a clearly defined features of grapes and the land on which it is grown. The word in the description of monopole vineyard shows that he is owned by the manufacturer, which is an additional plus. Sometimes the buyer's scary the lack of information about grape varieties from which to make wine. Meanwhile, the best wines are usually prepared by mixing several types, at least two. Therefore, in the absence of the label information on grape varieties need not look for a sign of poor quality. Many people know that collectors are willing to pay large amounts of dusty bottles, filled with antique collectible wines. On this basis, makes a false conclusion that the wine is older and matured, the better. In fact, collectible wines past or the last century is no longer usable. None of dry wine is not able to "survive" more than 50 years. It must turn into vinegar. Collectors do not pay for the wine, but for the right of owning a rare collector's item. Buying an inexpensive wine, it is better to stay at the youngest of those that are on sale. For wines costing up to $ 3 today, in 2010, this production of the 2008 harvest. White wines cost $ 10 should not be older than 2006, the Reds - 2002. Expensive vintage wines are dry when properly stored "live" until the age of 10 - 15 years old, dessert - 50. If possible, it is best to choose a wine made from grapes harvested in a "good" year. It can be defined by the archive weather report in the countryside, where vineyards are located. In the "good" year in the period August - September of vineyard shall fall a minimum of precipitation, in comparison with other years. Due to the lack of excess moisture sugar content of grapes reaches its maximum, which affects the quality of wine. Ideal conditions for wine storage is complete darkness and quiet, horizontal bottle (wine must completely cover the tube), constant temperature (11 - 12 degrees) and humidity (75%) of the air, no smells and drafts. Unfortunately, conventional grocery stores and supermarkets to such "stuff" no one pays attention. Therefore, the best wine shop in specialty stores. How do you feel about markups to blame? How often eat and what is good? Really are and not go at all ...)
