Russian artist attack set on fire former KGB headquarters

No, it's not a terrorist attack! 
It's just a way of expressing one person's opinion!
Who is this extreme artist, Pyotr Pavlensky?
Take a look, he's a pretty weird guy...      


      Russian authorities have detained a political performance artist best known for nailing his scrotum to Red Square after he torched the entrance to the headquarters of the FSB security service, the successor to the KGB.     
      Pyotr Pavlensky set fire to the wooden doors of the sprawling FSB building in central Moscow at about 1am on Monday. A video posted online shows flames leaping to the top of the doorway as Pavlensky stands in front of it holding a petrol canister, before a policeman comes running up to him.

Pyotr Pavlensky, pretty interesting huy, isn't he?

     In his statement, Pavlensky accused the FSB of “terrorism” and said: “The threat of inevitable reprisals hangs over everyone within the range of security cameras, phone-tapping and passport control borders.” He called the act a “reflex to fight for my own life”. The FSB building, which take up an entire block, was used by Soviet-era secret police for interrogations, detaining opponents and extra-judicial killings. President Vladimir Putin briefly headed the FSB and was a KGB agent in East Germany during the Soviet era.
     In 2013 Pavlensky stripped naked and nailed his scrotum to the cobblestones of Red Square to protest against police controls. The case was eventually closed due to the lack of any crime. He has been charged with vandalism and could face up to three years in jail for another performance, called Freedom, held in St Petersburg last year. During that action, he and other activists set fire to tyres and waved a Ukrainian flag to simulate the Maidan protests in Kiev that led to the ousting of a pro-Moscow leader. In other shocking performances to highlight a lack of civil freedoms, Pavlensky has sewn up his lips, wrapped himself in barbed wire and cut off part of his earlobe.


Pocket watch worthy 11 million USD. Why is so expensive???

Pocket watch worth 11 000 000 USD??? 
Yes it is true! Why is it so special? 
Why is it so expensive? 
Find out in our article...



     The Patek Philippe Henry Graves Supercomplication is one of the most complicated mechanical pocket watches ever created. The 18-karat gold watch was assembled by Patek Philippe and named after banker Henry Graves Jr who commissioned it out of his desire to outdo the Grande Complication pocketwatch of American automaker James Ward Packard.The two were both at the top of the watch collecting world, regularly commissioning innovative new timepieces.
It took three years to design, and another five years to manufacture the watch, which was delivered to Henry Graves on January 19, 1933. The Supercomplication was the world’s most complicated mechanical timepiece for more than 50 years, with a total of 24 different functions. These included Westminster chimes, a perpetual calendar, sunrise and sunset times, and a celestial map of New York as seen from the Graves's apartment on Fifth Avenue. The record was bested in 1989 when Patek Philippe released the Patek Philippe Calibre 89. 

The inside of Patek Philippe Henry Graves Supercomplication

    The Supercomplication remains the most complicated mechanical watch built without the assistance of computers. Graves spent 60,000 Swiss francs (USD $15,000), when he commissioned it in 1925. Adjusting for inflation, the sum is roughly $202,000, measured in 2014 United States dollars.

How many immigrants are they really? 1M, 2M .... A BILLION???

     ACCORDING TO ALL RELEVANT FACTS MOST OF 1.5 BILLION POPULATION OF AFRICA AND MIDDLE EAST ARE POTENTIAL REFUGES TO EUROPE IN THE NEXT DECADE!



          An estimated 9 million Syrians have fled their homes since the outbreak of civil war in March 2011, taking refuge in neighbouring countries or within Syria itself. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), over 3 million have fled to Syria's immediate neighbours Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq. 6.5 million are internally displaced within Syria. Meanwhile, under 150,000 Syrians have declared asylum in the European Union, while member states have pledged to resettle a further 33,000 Syrians.
     But according to some prognosis Middle East and Africa have much much more potential for generating refugees. Those are the reasons why:
  •    Seventy-five percent of the world’s poorest countries are located in Africa, including Zimbabwe, Liberia and Ethiopia. For the past two years, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa’s second largest country, has also been ranked the poorest in the world with a Gross Domestic Product (based on purchasing-power-parity) of $394.25 in 2013.
  •    According to Gallup World, in 2013, the 10 countries with the highest proportion of residents living in extreme poverty were all in sub-Saharan Africa. Extreme poverty is defined as living on $1.25 or less a day. In 2010, 414 million people were living in extreme poverty across sub-Saharan Africa. According to the World Bank, those living on $1.25-a-day accounted for 48.5 percent of the population in that region in 2010.
  •     Approximately one in three people living in sub-Saharan Africa are undernourished. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations estimated that 239 million people (around 30 percent of the population) in sub-Saharan Africa were hungry in 2010. This is the highest percentage of any region in the world. In addition, the U.N. Millennium Project reported that over 40 percent of all Africans are unable to regularly obtain sufficient food.
  •     In sub-Saharan Africa, 589 million people live without electricity. As a result, a staggering 80 percent of the population relies on biomass products such as wood, charcoal and dung in order to cook.
  •     Of the 738 million people globally who lack access to clean water, 37 percent are living in sub-Saharan Africa. Poverty in Africa results in over 500 million people suffering from waterborne diseases. According to the U.N. Millennium Project, more than 50 percent of Africans have a water-related illness like cholera.
  •    Every year, sub-Saharan Africa loses $28.4 billion to water and sanitation problems. This amount accounts for approximately five percent of the region’s gross domestic product (GDP)—exceeding the total amount of foreign aid sent to sub-Saharan Africa in 2003.
  •     Thirty-eight percent of the world’s refugees are located in Africa. Due to continuing violence, conflict and widespread human rights abuses, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reports that 11 million people, including stateless people and returnees, exist in Africa.
  •     Fewer than 20 percent of African women have access to education. Uneducated African women are twice as likely to contract AIDS and 50 percent less likely to immunize their children. Meanwhile, the children of African women with at least five years of schooling have a 40 percent higher chance of survival.
  •     Women in sub-Saharan Africa are over 230 times more likely to die during childbirth or pregnancy than women in North America. Approximately one in 16 women living in sub-Saharan African will die during childbirth or pregnancy. Only one in 4,000 women in North America will.
  •     More than one million people, mostly children under the age of five, die every year from malaria. Malarial deaths in Africa alone account for 90 percent of all malaria deaths worldwide. Eighty percent of these victims are African children. The U.N. Millennium Project has calculated that a child in Africa dies from malaria every 30 seconds, or about 3,000 each day.
Take a look at Top 5 most expensive cars in the world... Starting at No. 5 - Ferrari F60 America ($2.5M)...

These are the top 5 most expensive cars in the world:

5. Ferrari F60 America ($2.5M)
     The supercar is mechanically identical to the F12, but the Berlinetta isn’t exactly a Fiat Panda to begin with. Its 6.2-liter V12 churns out 740 glorious hp, enough to propel the car to 60 mph in only 3.1 seconds. The ultra-rare flag-waver harkens back to Ferrari’s bespoke past, as the company built several region-specific sports cars in the 1950s and 1960s.
Ferrari F60 America

4. Mansory Vivere Bugatti Veyron ($3.4M)
     Mansory, the 1,200-hp Veyron starts out as a Grand Sport Vitesse Roadster, only to be adorned with a gorgeous carbon fiber body, a new spoiler package, upgraded LED lights, a rebuffed cabin, and a redesigned front grill. Further classifying the Veyron as a work of art, maps of historic race events like the Targa Florio are laser etched into the exterior and interior. Oh, and it can do 254 mph.
Mansory Vivere Bugatti Veyron

3. W Motors Lykan Hypersport ($3.4M)
     The Hypersport boasts a 3.7-liter, twin-turbo flat-six that yields 770 hp and 708 lb-ft.It’s not just Dominic Toretto who benefits from this level of performance though, as the Abu Dhabi police force has drafted the Hypersport into patrol duty. Although it’s mainly used for marketing and public relations purposes, the high-flying stunner assures that the authorities can keep up with any baddie that tries to get cute on the freeway. Pedal to the floor, 0 to 62 mph is accomplished in just 2.8 seconds, and top speed is a downright scary 240 mph.
W Motors Lykan Hypersport

2. Lamborghini Veneno ($4.5M)
     The only thing more remarkable than the look is the price — a whopping $4.5 million.The Veneno is fast, and that should come as no surprise. Its 6.5-liter V12 spins all the way up to 8,400 rpm to deliver 740 hp and 507 lb-ft, surging the car to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds.
Lamborghini Veneno

1. Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita ($4.8M)
For the Trevita, the Swedish manufacturer developed a new exterior finish called the Koenigsegg Proprietary Diamond Weave, which involves coating carbon fibers with a diamond dust-impregnated resin. We can’t even fathom how much the touch up paint costs.Underneath the lustrous finish lies a 4.8-liter, dual-supercharged V8 with a total output of 1,004 hp and 797 lb-ft, which means it should have little to no trouble overtaking semis on the freeway. The car’s specifications — in both performance and price — are nearly comical at this point, and just three were ever made.

JAMES BOND 007- 10 facts you never knew


Take a look at this interesting and little known facts about the best British spy...


      

  1.      Bond’s parents were Andrew Bond, a Scottish man, and Monique Delacroix, a Swiss woman. Mr. Bond worked for a weapons company and traveled often with his family. Both parents died when Bond was 11.
    Bond's parents grave in Skyfall
  2.      He lived with an aunt in England, studied at Eton and Fettes College in Edinburgh, graduated from high school at 17 and was recruited into the Royal Navy. “The world is not enough” is the Bond family motto. (Incidentally, Fleming also studied at Eton and was recruited into naval intelligence.)
  3.      From Dr. No to Quantum of Solace, James Bond has killed 352 people and slept with 52 women.
    The famous Bond Girls
  4.      Q’s real name, Major Boothroyd, is only mentioned in Dr. No, From Russia With Love, and The Spy Who Loved Me.
  5.      Fleming chose the name “James Bond” because he wanted to find a name “as mundane as possible.” Bond’s namesake is actually the ornithologist Dr. James Bond – lifted from a bird watching book that Fleming had handy.
    Ian Fleming, the author of James Bond novels, reading "Casion Royale"
  6.      Stuntman Bob Simmons is the figure who appears in the opening gun barrel sequence for the first three James Bond movies.
  7.     Richard Kiel, who played Jaws, could only keep his metal teeth in his mouth for about half a minute at a time, and the chain that he bit through at the Pyramids in The Spy Who Loved Me was made of licorice.
    Jaws biting the licorice cable
  8.      Many claim the Bond character was based on Ian Fleming: both preferred coffee to tea, smoked the same kind of cigarettes, were commanders in the British Navy, loved women, and preferred their martinis shaken – not stirred. Fleming was also a spy. Once he was recruited into naval intelligence, he became the personal assistant to Admiral John Godfrey – who may have served as inspiration for M.
  9.      M’s house in Skyfall is the former home of John Barry, Bond composer.
  10.      President JFK is partly responsible for Bond’s success in the US. In a 1961 interview with Life Magazine, he listed From Russia, With Love as one of his favorite novels of all time. Sales boomed, and the next Bond film made was From Russia, With Love due to the president’s influence. Incidentally, this is the last movie JFK ever saw – he watched it one day before his trip to Texas in 1963. JFK also included Fleming in conversations about how to defeat Fidel Castro in Cuba – perhaps why some of the plans sound like something out of a James Bond novel!

UNBELIEVABLE: Castro has slept with more than 50.000 women?!


     A former Fidel Castro close friend and Cuban official now living in Canada few years ago make a sensational  confession about former Cuban president.
     “He slept with at least two women a day for more than four decades – one for lunch and one for supper. Sometimes he even ordered one for breakfast. The man is a lion in bed. He has an insatiable appetite for women. I don’t think he would have stayed on as long as he did if not for all the incredible women he had access to as President.”

“He slept with at least two women a day for more than four decades – one for lunch and one for supper" - Fidel Castro
     
Naturally everyone asks is this possible. According to Lopez Here's his schedule: He slept with at least two women a day for more than four decades. That is more than 700 women a year x 40 years is equal to amazing number of  32.000. 
     Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz or Fidel Castro led his country from December 1959 until his resignation few years ago. Castro came to power as a result of the Cuban revolution that overthrew the dictator Fulgencio Batista, and shortly thereafter became Prime Minister of Cuba. 

    Although the US has tried hard to get rid of him, Castro outlasted no fewer than nine American presidents since he took power.

EXCLUSIVE: Khloe Kardashian about Lamar Odom without gloves



"Even if he was 100 percent better, he has a lot of other issues he has to deal with, I think, before taking on any relationship" says Khloe Kardashian about her ex partner Lamar Odom.
       According to her "He's doing better everyday, for sure, which is a blessing, but it's going to be a long road and he has to walk that road. It's going to be a long time."
     Odom, 36, was found unconscious in Nevada on Oct. 13 following a drug overdose. He was in a coma for four days, with Kardashian by his side throughout. During his health crisis, Kardashian's attorney successfully asked a Los Angeles judge to dismiss the pair's divorce filing. However, the Keeping up with the Kardashians star exclusively told PEOPLE that though she has been steadfast in her support for Odom, that doesn't mean the two are back together.

Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian, the gloves are off
    "I wish people understood that's not in our thought process right now," the star said. "There are too many other important things, too many medical things. It's not even in our brains thinking about us as a couple or having a relationship right now."
     The 31-year-old, who is dating Houston Rockets player James Harden, told NBC News at the book signing that Odom knows she and Harden are still an item. Kardashian and Odom tied the knot on national TV in 2009 and filed for divorce in 2013. The two both signed the divorce papers in July, but due to a delayed court judgement, they remained legally married when he was found unresponsive.

CONSPIRACY THEORIES: Does REPTILIANS really RULE the WORLD???


Interesting point of view of the famous conspiracy theory author - David Icke. 
But is it true or he's gone completely mad? 
Take a look at this video...

     The idea of reptilians on Earth was popularized by David Icke, a conspiracy theorist who claims shape-shifting reptilian aliens control Earth by taking on human form and gaining political power to manipulate our societies. Icke has claimed on multiple occasions that many of the world leaders are, or are possessed by, reptilians.




Is it true??? Russian SUBMARINES are cutting all the world`s internet?!


     According to International Business Times there is growing concern among US military and intelligence officials that Russia could sever underwater fiber-optic cables upon which governments, economies and citizens depend, reports suggest. 
     More than a dozen officials have confirmed the Pentagon is focusing significant attention on the movements of Russian spy ships and submarines in the vicinity of cable routes that carry electronic communications.
     Details of Russia's naval activities are highly classified, however sources close to the matter have reportedly revealed suspicious activity has been monitored in the North Sea, north east Asia and close to US shores. Some officials have gone as far as to call the level of Russian activity around these cables as "comparable to what we saw in the Cold War".

Underwater fiber-optic cable
     The cables are so vital to global electronic communications and commerce that the Department of Homeland Security lists them at the top of its list of most important "critical infrastructure". More than 95% of daily communications are carried along them and are said to be worth more than $10tn (£6.5tn) to global business. Pentagon planners believe if diplomatic relations break down, Russia could target cables in deep, mid-ocean locations that are difficult to repair.

Is it possible to LIVE FOREVER in a CRYOGENIC DREAM???


Is it possible to live forever?
Can we live in a cryogenic dream?
How far does the technology advanced in this field of science?

     The science behind it does exist and the application of the practice is called cryonics. It’s a technique used to store a person’s body at an extremely low temperature with the hope of one day reviving them. This technique is being performed today, but the technology behind it is still in its infancy. Someone preserved this way is said to be in cryonic suspension.
     Despite the fact that no human placed in a cryonic suspension has yet been revived, some living organisms can be, and have been, brought back from a dead or near-dead state. CPR and Defibrillators can bring accident and heart attack victims back from the dead daily. Neurosurgeons often cool patients’ bodies so they can operate on aneurysms without damaging or rupturing the nearby blood vessels. Human embryos that are frozen in fertility clinics, defrosted and implanted in a mother’s uterus grow into perfectly normal human beings. Some frogs and other amphibians have a protein manufactured by their cells that act as a natural antifreeze which can protect them if they’re frozen completely solid.

How close are we to the eternal life?
     Cryonics it’s currently illegal to perform cryonic suspension on someone who is still alive. Those who wish to be cryogenically frozen must first be pronounced legally dead – which means their heart has stopped beating. Though, if they’re dead, how can they ever be revived? According to companies who perform the procedure, ‘legally dead’ is not the same as ‘totally dead.’ Total death, they claim, is the point at which all brain function ceases. They claim that the difference is based on the fact that some cellular brain function remains even after the heart has stopped beating. Cryonics preserves some of that cell function so that, at least theoretically, the person can be brought back to life at a later date. Many critics say the companies that perform cryonics are simply ripping off customers with the dream of immortality and they won’t deliver. It doesn’t help that the scientists who perform cryonics say they haven’t successfully revived anyone, and don’t expect to be able to do so anytime soon. The largest hurdle is that, if the warming process isn’t done at exactly the right speed and temperature, the cells could form ice crystals and shatter.
     Cryobiologists are hopeful that nanotechnology will make revival possible someday. Nanotechnology can use microscopic machines to manipulate single atoms to build or repair virtually anything, including human cells and tissues. They hope one day, nanotechnology will repair not only the cellular damage caused by the freezing process, but also the damage caused by aging and disease. Some cryobiologists have predicted that the first cryonic revival might occur as early as year 2045.

How and when VAMPIRES officially stop exist???



They are mystical, scary and noways, pretty mainstream part of our culture. But how and when vampires officially stop existing?

     Vampires proper originate in folklore widely reported from Eastern Europe in the late 17th and 18th centuries. These tales formed the basis of the vampire legend that later entered Germany and England, where they were subsequently embellished and popularized.
     During the 18th century, there was a frenzy of vampire sightings in Eastern Europe, with frequent staking and grave diggings to identify and kill the potential revenants. even government officials engaged in the hunting and staking of vampires. Despite being called the Age of Enlightenment, during which most folkloric legends were quelled, the belief in vampires increased dramatically, resulting in a mass hysteria throughout most of Europe.

Vampires - the scariest park of Eastern European folklor

     Some theological disputes arose. The non-decay of vampires’ bodies could recall the incorruption of the bodies of the saints of the Catholic Church. A paragraph on vampires was included in the second edition (1749) of De servorum Dei beatificatione et sanctorum canonizatione, On the beatification of the servants of God and on canonization of the blessed, written by Prospero Lambertini (Pope Benedict XIV). In his opinion, while the incorruption of the bodies of saints was the effect of a divine intervention, all the phenomena attributed to vampires were purely natural or the fruit of “imagination, terror and fear”. In other words, vampires did not exist
     The controversy only ceased when Empress Maria Theresa of Austria sent her personal physician, Gerard van Swieten, to investigate the claims of vampiric entities. He concluded that vampires did not exist and the Empress passed laws prohibiting the opening of graves and desecration of bodies, sounding the end of the vampire epidemics. Despite this condemnation, the vampire lived on in artistic works and in local superstition.

Find out very easy !!!Do you have a gambling addiction problem?

     
     Gambling addiction is sometimes referred to as a "hidden illness" because there are no obvious physical signs or symptoms like there are in drug or alcohol addiction. Problem gamblers typically deny or minimize the problem. They also go to great lengths to hide their gambling. For example, problem gamblers often withdraw from their loved ones, sneak around, and lie about where they’ve been and what they’ve been up to.
     You may have a gambling problem if you:
     Feel the need to be secretive about your gambling. You might gamble in secret or lie about how much you gamble, feeling others won’t understand or that you will surprise them with a big win.
     Have trouble controlling your gambling. Once you start gambling, can you walk away? Or are you compelled to gamble until you’ve spent your last dollar, upping your bets in a bid to win lost money back?
     Gamble even when you don’t have the money. A red flag is when you are getting more and more desperate to recoup your losses. You may gamble until you’ve spent your last dollar, and then move on to money you don’t have—money to pay bills, credit cards, or things for your children. You may feel pushed to borrow, sell, or even steal things for gambling money. It’s a vicious cycle.
     You may sincerely believe that gambling more money is the only way to win lost money back. But it only puts you further and further in the hole.
    Family and friends are worried about you. Denial keeps problem gambling going. If friends and family are worried, listen to them carefully. Take a hard look at how gambling is affecting your life. It’s not a sign of weakness to ask for help. Many older gamblers are reluctant to reach out to their adult children if they've gambled away their inheritance. But it's never too late to make changes for the better.
Are you sure gambling is just a fun game?

How to stop destroing yourself???

     One way to stop yourself from problem gambling is to analyze what is needed for gambling to occur, work on removing these elements from your life and replace them with healthier choices. The four elements needed for problem gambling to continue are:

A decision: Before gambling occurs, the decision to gamble has been made. If you have an urge to gamble: stop what you are doing and call someone, think about the consequences to your actions, tell yourself to stop thinking about gambling, and find something else to do immediately.

Money: Gambling cannot occur without money. Get rid of your credit cards, let someone else be in charge of your money, have the bank make automatic payments for you, and keep a limited amount of cash on you at all times.

Time: Gambling cannot occur if you don’t have the time. Schedule enjoyable recreational time for yourself that has nothing to do with gambling, find time for relaxation, and plan outings with your family.

A game: Without a game or activity to bet on there is no opportunity to gamble. Don’t put yourself in tempting environments or locations. Tell the gambling establishments you frequent that you have a gambling problem and ask them to restrict you from betting at their casinos and establishments. Block online gambling sites on your computer.
