The Star of Bethlehem We know from the Bible that the birth of Christ was accompanied by bright celestial phenomena. Astronomers who studied the Crab Nebula measured the expansion rates of the nebula and used them to determine the date of the explosion between 1110 and 1170. Also, the Gospel tells us that the star was not just burning, but moving, leading the Magi to the birthplace of the Child. We know that a shooting star with a tail is a comet. Perhaps in the year of Christ's birth, in addition to the flash of a new star, people also saw the famous Halley's Comet. Its period of orbit around the sun is 76 years, last seen in 1986, so 1986 - (11 x 76) = 1150 yr. Both brightest celestial events fit nicely into one short period of time. The problem is that this is the 12th century. Although, the sacred texts have been rewritten so often that one can vividly imagine the logic of the scribes: "Let us not let such a momentous phenomenon go to waste!"

Artificial Sweetener called Aspartame is actually a brain drug that stimulates your brain so you think that the food you're eating tastes sweet. You'll notice that when using Aspartame everything you eat at the same time also tastes sweet. Aspartame breaks down to its poison constituents at 86 degrees (Aspartic Acid 40%, Phenylalanine 50%, and Methanol 10%). There is mounting evidence that the "Burning Mouth Syndrome" experienced by the Desert Storm troops was actually Methanol poisoning from the Diet Coke they drank lots of, after being exposed to desert temperatures. Aspartame 10% Methanol appears in the body quickly and is the same alcohol that your mother probably warned you that it can make you blind. Many skid-row alcoholics had problems with this cheap but deadly form of alcohol. Aspartames 40% Aspartic Acid is an "excitotoxin" in the brain and excites neurons to death, i.e. it kills brain cells and causes other nerve damage and it triggers Migraine Headaches.

Violet Constance Jessop worked as a stewardess and nurse on three of the most famous ocean liners — the "Olympic," the "Titanic," and the "Britannic." Each of them met with disaster: the "Olympic" collided with another ship and nearly sank, the "Titanic" struck an iceberg and sank, and the "Britannic" hit a mine and sank. However, Violet emerged unscathed from all these catastrophes. These incidents did not scare her, and she continued working until she retired. Violet lived a long and happy life, passing away at the age of 83.

Crypto scam: Telegram messages Since we use Telegram messenger, you should be aware of a very popular “local” fraud scheme. You can be contacted by people who will call themselves representatives of crypto projects, token creators, or even representatives of WIRED and offer various schemes for earning money on crypto. We want to warn you in a friendly way: Do not follow links from strangers, and even more so, do not transfer money and/or crypto to anyone. Representatives of decent projects almost never write to users with some suggestions and certainly will not ask you for coins. Be vigilant: The crypto market is a fascinating place, but there are a lot of scammers out there!

Sigiriya is one of the most amazing natural and architectural wonders in the world! It is not just a mountain, but a megalithic complex where ancient architects created a sturdy structure connected to the mountain that has not been eroded for thousands of years despite rain and wind. At the summit of the mountain, there is a pool that never dries up and where the water does not stagnate. Sigiriya is located in the middle of a forest, and there are no stairs or underground passages to the temple at the top. #History

Why don’t my funds get deposited? A widespread problem for beginners: They transfer funds from one wallet to another, but the coins don’t get deposited. Why? There are 3 main reasons: 1. The processing speeds of blockchains. Sometimes, blockchains are slow, and transactions take longer than usual. For example, in Ethereum, transactions can sometimes last for hours. 2. Invalid network or address: You could have made a mistake when choosing the network. For example, if you transfer your USDT from the Tron network to the BNB Smart Chain network, the transaction will not pass. Make sure the network and address match. 3. A memo is not specified: Some blockchains require specifying a memo when sending transactions. A memo is a “comment” on a transaction. If necessary, the exchange will warn you what memo you should specify, so read the instructions carefully. And one more general tip: If you’re making a transaction for the first time, make a test transfer by sending the minimum amount — e.g., 1 USDT. If it’s successful, it’s safe to send whatever amount you want to that address. Don’t forget that, in the crypto world, it’s often impossible to return money lost or sent to a wrong address. We’re inviting you to another crypto quest!

Before anesthesia, speed was essential to minimize pain and improve the odds of survival. Robert Liston, a British surgeon who excelled at this, once performed a surgery, during which he moved so fast that he took an assistant's fingers off when cutting through a leg. Both the patient and the assistant later died of infection, and one spectator died of shock. This was the only known surgery in history that had a 300% mortality rate.

what is HODL? Hodl is slang in the cryptocurrency community for holding the cryptocurrency rather than selling it. A person who does this is known as a Hodler. It originated in a December 2013 post on the Bitcoin Forum message board by an apparently inebriated user who posted with a typo in the subject, "I AM HODLING." you'll be asking the questions over and over. But remember that bitcoin once was priced at $0.05. Those who hodl made serious gains. #crypto #knowledge #tips Share with friends if you find it helpful. 🗣️📢
