Mineritul in Romania

Mineritul in Romania, este o problema foarte discutata si  controversata, care starneste polemici, dispute, intrigi si altele, mai ales daca stam sa ne gandim la Rosia Montana, zona in care domeniul aurifer a fost cel mai practicat si zona care este cea mai veche localitate ce a fost atestata documentar ca fiind localitate miniera. Importanta Rosiei Montane este descoperita inca din perioada dacilor si a romanilor, perioada din care s-au pastrat pana in prezent galerii, unice la nivel european, conservate cu maiestrie.

Australian Politics For Dummies

Politics — it’s everywhere. It affects everything in society, like taxes, the environment, health, education, the economy, international affairs, security and everything in between.

Are you a greedy person?

I know ,I'm not.I'm just the opposite.I enjoy giving.I get pleasure out of helping people and giving things to others.
We definitely live in a society that has taught us how to be greedy.

We expect instant gratification – we want it NOW! While there is nothing wrong with having money and owning possessions, it’s whether you have the ability to either wait patiently for the new Xbox game or think about whether or not you really need this new game. 

 Proverbs 1:19 “Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money; it robs them of life.” Sound pretty harsh doesn’t it? Do you always need the latest fad or can you treat a friend to the movies who never has any pocket money?

Mos Ene

Orice as face, Mos Ene refuza sa vina si pe la mine
Cred ca nu singura in aceasta situatie.
Te prinde dimineata tot numarand oile si degeaba.
Îti incepi apoi ziua cu ochii carpiti de nesomn, te lipesti de to nomatul de cafea si apoi seara, te trezesti din nou numarand oile pana în zori.
Studiile arata ca, la fel ca tine, s-au rasucit de pe o parte pe alta, toata noaptea, aproximativ 30% din populatia adulta. Înainte e a trece la tratarea insomniei este important sa stabilesti care este tipul problemei cu care te confrunti.

2. insomnie intermitenta, cea care nu depeseste mai mult de trei saptamani, sau 
3. insomnie cronica care se manifest prin lipsa somnului aproape în fiecare noapte, pe o perioada de minimum o luna

Colind

Veniti, neamurilor toate,
sa-i cantam sa-i cantam;
 Pe Cristos Mantuitorul sa-l laudam,
 Pe Cristos Mantuitorul sa-l laudam.
 Ca la Betleem el astazi a venit
 Dupa cum de mult prorocii au vestit.
 Din Maria Preacurata s-a nascut,
 Pentru lume mantuire s-a facut.
 Intr-o pestera in iesle s-a culcat,
 Si in scutece sarace s-a infasat.
 Fie-n ceruri preamarire
Celui Sfant Pace fie intre oameni pe pamant.
 Pastorasii intr-un cuget il slavesc,
 Si cerescului Parinte multumesc.
 De la rasarit si craii se ivesc,
 Aur, smirna si tamaie-i daruiesc.
 Pe Maria, Maica Sfanta o cinstim
 Si pe Fiul ei, Mesia-l preamarim.

Crăciunul ne-aminteşte

Crăciunul ne-aminteşte de o seară  Când corul îngeresc a intonat duios O melodie în acorduri de fanfară  Cum n-a mai fost până atunci în ţară Vestind că s-a născut Isus Hristos.

De Crăciun

De Crăciun, sub fulgi zglobii,

pe Isus din nou vestindu-L

trec pe uliţă copii

cu colindul.

De ce Craciun?

Sunt multi ce nu-nteleg iubirea cu chip de Prunc nascut in iesle,

Nu inteleg corul de ingeri si slujesc altor interese…

Ades sarbatoresc Craciunul, insa nu-i inteleg prezenta

Si urmarind numai placerea pierd din vedere chiar esenta.

Traditii de Craciun si Anul Nou la Romani

Traditii De Craciun: 

 La inceput a fost cuvantul. Asa ca vom incepe cu termenul "Craciun". Pentru lingvisti, acest cuvant, drag si familiar, e un cuvant ciudat. Unii spun ca l-am mostenit din latinescul "creationem" - "creatie, nastere".
 Altii sustin ca e vorba de un cuvant mult mai vechi, tracic, de dinainte de romanizarea Daciei.
Iar altii spun ca ar veni din slava. Termenul "Craciun" are in limba romana cel putin opt sensuri.
 Insa cuvantul este mai simplu de explicat decat sunt traditiile. In fiecare zona a Romaniei exista un mod specific de a intampina si sarbatorii Craciunul.

The Australian Light Horse Sculpture Parade

The Australian Light Horse Sculpture Parade is dedicated to the heroic troops who served in the Australian Light Horse and their horses that could never return.

Compulsive shopping and spending

People who "shop 'till they drop" and run their credit cards up to the limit often have a shopping addiction.

Compulsive shopping or spending can be a seasonal balm for the depression, anxiety and loneliness during the December holiday season. It also can occur when a person feels depressed, lonely and angry. Shopping and spending will not assure more love, bolster self-esteem, or heal the hurts, regrets, stress, and the problems of daily living. It generally makes these feelings worse because of the increased financial debt the person has obtained from compulsive shopping.
