Л.Грот о связи Алтая с древнерусской традицией!

Лидия Грот о связи Алтая с древнерусской традицией… Многие слышали нашумевшую  историю с “алтайской принцессой”,  обнаруженной в богатом захоронении  женщиной  из явно высокого рода,  которая оказалась  по своей внешности типичным представителем европеоидов.   С Алтаем же связывают и афанасьевскую культуру древних европеоидов,  которых уже многие  независимые исследователи называют нашими предками.   На связь Алтая с древнерусской традицией  обратила внимание и кандидат исторических наук Л.Грот. В своей книге  “Прерванная история русов”  она пишет: “Роль представителей индоевропейского солнцепоклонства в проникновении культа Солнца в Южную Сибирь уже хорошо известна в науке.   А…

Алтай! Чуйским трактом от Маймы до Усть-Семы полвека назад!

Алтай! Чуйским трактом от Маймы до Усть-Семы полвека назад! Полистаем издание «Чуйский тракт» под авторством Д. И. Табаева, изданное Горно-Алтайским отделением Алтайского книжного издательства в 1975 году. Текст путеводителя написан складно. Читаешь его с умиротворением и почти восхищением. Особый акцент сделан на освещение памятников Гражданской войны и результатов социалистического развития этой территории. Одно из описаний текста заставило меня вспомнить об экологической проблеме, которая развернулась благодаря уже капиталистическому пути развития этой территории. Чуйский тракт. фото Ольга Шадрина Никто не думал, что в 2000 – х годах (после 2017 года) Манжерокское озеро…

Алтай! По долине Чулышмана полвека назад!

Алтай! По долине Чулышмана полвека назад! Очень интересно, что в Путеводителе по Алтаю 1963 года издания авторы не обошли стороной Чулышманскую долину. По ней проходил заключительный этап 75 Алтайского Южного маршрута. Об исключительной красоте и необычности Чулышманский долины говорит и тот факт, что по ней путешествовали известные ученые: А. Бунге (1826 г.), П. А. Чихачев (1842 г.), В. В. Радлов (1860 г.), В.В. Сапожников (1895 г.), Н.М. Ядринцев (конец 19 в., 1880 г.), В. И. Верещагин (1905 г.). Тропы здесь существовали до обустройства автомобильного перевала – до 1987 года, когда…

Дочь пресс секретаря президента России Дмитрия Пескова, Лиза рассказал на своей странице в инстаграм об отношении к Алтаю.

Дочь пресс секретаря президента России Дмитрия Пескова, Лиза рассказал на своей странице в инстаграм об отношении к Алтаю. -Нельзя сказать, что Алтай стал популярным только сейчас, когда у туриста выбор ограничен. О том, что это крутое и уникальное место, знают, мне кажется, все.⠀ Но в списке к посещению у многих оно идёт после раскрученных популярных локаций, просто потому, что инфраструктура и условия тут практически не развиты, хотя гостиницу можно найти любую: от самой скромной до 5-звездочной.⠀ Красота и грандиозное разнообразие наших природных объектов РЕАЛЬНО ничуть не уступают самым востребованным курортам…

Маршал Конев… о Сталине!

Маршал Конев… о Сталине! В этой статье приведу несколько цитат маршала Советского Союза, кавалера Ордена Победа, дважды Героя Советского Союза Ивана Степановича Конева об Иосифе Виссарионовиче Сталине. За четыре года войны нам мне не раз приходилось докладывать Сталину о положении дел и предстоящих планах. Я уже привык к обстановке, к тому, что Сталин и в момент доклада, выслушивал мои соображения и высказывал свое мнение, принимал соответствующие решения,- обычно делал все это, не присаживаясь к столу. Зачастую он ходил по своему большому кабинету. В продолжение этой цитаты, слова Ивана Степановича об…

Для тех, кто считает, что жизнь не сложилась!

Мудрые слова Омара Хайяма для тех, кто считает, что жизнь не сложилась! Мои ровесники возлагали на жизнь большие надежды. С экранов телевизоров несся поток информации о том, как изменить судьбу к лучшему. Причем, если нашим бабушкам и дедушкам в кинотеатре показывали героев войны и простое человеческое счастье, производное от труда, самоотверженности и патриотизма, то моему поколению транслировали американскую мечту и радости капитализма. Казалось, покорить мир, подчинить его себе так просто! Если у киношных хлюпиков все получалось, и действо завершалось хэппи эндом, то и у нас получится? Говорят, что американцы все…

Самый «гуманный суд»: кого расстреляли по ошибке… в СССР?

Самый «гуманный суд»: кого расстреляли по ошибке… в СССР? Судебно-правовая система в СССР часто давала сбои. Нередко вместо тех, кто должен был реально понести наказание, арестовывали и казнили невиновных или не связанных с конкретным преступлением людей. Почему происходило то, стоило некоторым людям жизней? Причина кроется в том, как работал судебно-правовой механизм. Система планирования в Советском Союзе требовала закрытия определенного количества уголовных дел за отчетный период. Преступления, которые не раскрывались длительное время, привлекали особо пристальное внимание высшего руководства МВД. Если же дело было из разряда громких, взволновавших широкую общественность, то за ним…

Умер Иосиф Сталин…

Умер Иосиф Сталин… В этот день (05.03.1953) в 1953 году в 21 час 50 минут умер Иосиф Виссарионович Сталин. О смерти генсека было объявлено по радио 6 марта 1953 года в 6 часов утра. Согласно официальным данным, он скончался от кровоизлияния в мозг. Забальзамированное тело Сталина было помещено на всеобщее обозрение в Мавзолей Ленина. В 1961 году XXII съезд КПСС постановил, что «серьезные нарушения Сталиным ленинских заветов, злоупотребления властью, массовые репрессии против честных советских людей и другие действия в период культа личности делают невозможным оставление гроба с его телом в Мавзолее В. И. Ленина». В ночь с 31 октября на 1 ноября 1961 года тело…

Whatever happened to America’s goal of a color blind society

The question of race relations is constant in our contemporary society. We hear a great deal about “white supremacy” and “white privilege,” and there are those who suggest that almost all white Americans are, to one degree or another, “racist.” Consider Ibram Kendi, author of the bestseller “How To Be An Anti-Racist.” According to Kendi, any racial gap is racist by definition. Any intellectual explanation of its existence, whether it is sociological or cultural, is also racist. He has told us that anything that is not “anti-racist” is perforce racist.…

2021 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Tyree Gillespie

The 2021 safety class has plenty of intriguing options. With the safety position seeing a bit of a downfall in terms of first-round talent in recent years, there are plenty of players who will start during their rookie years. Tyree Gillespie is one of many players that could develop into a starter at the next level. Gillespie was one of two safeties at Missouri that will likely be selected in this year’s draft. The other, Joshuah Bledsoe, is no slouch either. Plenty of people in the draft community are buzzing…

Letting the ingredients shine

Kuro House launched quietly on the upper floor of the back-alley DND Club building in May last year with two core features — a premium sushi omakase restaurant and an exclusive yakiniku omakase bar. As soon as it opened, the sushi restaurant, hosted by master chef Seiji Sudo (formerly head chef of Michelin-starred Ginza Sushi Ichi), began to build its reservations list and the grill bar was instantly recognised by highbrow connoisseurs of wagyu beef as Bangkok’s best destination for a yakiniku feast. Today, it can take a few months…

How Tesla’s search popularity has skyrocketed since 2010

Carmaker Tesla has seen the biggest gain in popularity online in the last 10 years. South Korea’a Kia and Hyundai, plus the British car brand Rolls-Royce, also feature among the automakers that have been increasingly popular with internet users in recent years. On the other hand, Peugeot, Renault and even Ferrari have seen search popularity fall. According to the price comparison website comparethemarket.com, which has compiled various data from Google Trends, the most innovative brands are — perhaps unsurprisingly — those scoring the most web searches. Searches for Tesla have…

COVID-19 vaccine confidence grows as side effect worries fade

LONDON (Reuters) – Confidence in COVID-19 vaccines is growing, with people’s willingness to have the shots increasing as they are rolled out across the world and concerns about possible side effects are fading, a 14-country survey showed on Friday. Co-led by Imperial College London’s Institute of Global Health Innovation (IGHI) and the polling firm YouGov, the survey found trust in COVID-19 vaccines had risen in nine out of 14 countries covered, including France, Japan and Singapore which had previously had low levels of confidence. The latest update of the survey,…

Ashes and grief: the pandemic’s footprint in a Los Angeles crematorium

By Norma Galeana (Reuters) – A cremation chamber, like a large stove with golden doors, sits in a room with dimmed lights, a few brooms and a cart with heat protective gear. Eddie Martinez has been spending a lot of time here lately as the increased demand for funerals and cremation services has stretched his role at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, a Los Angeles landmark and resting place for thousands of American movie legends. “I used to be just a funeral coordinator. Now I assist with cremations as well. I assist…

Alabama extends COVID mask mandate for a month amid debate between Texas, Biden

By Barbara Goldberg and Dan Whitcomb (Reuters) – Alabama’s governor on Thursday extended for another month an order mandating residents to wear face masks to protect against COVID-19, breaking with Mississippi and Texas as the issue again becomes the focus of political debate. Alabama’s mask order, which had been due to expire on Friday, will now stay in effect until April 9, Republican Governor Kay Ivey told a news briefing. “After that, it’ll be personal responsibility,” the 76-year-old governor said, adding she would wear her mask beyond that date. “Folks,…

Valve officially kills Artifact development, makes game F2P

Dota 2 spin-off Artifact is officially dead. After 18 months of live development on Artifact 2.0, Valve is ending its attempts to salvage the digital card game. Both the original Artifact and Artifact 2.0, now renamed Artifact Classic and Artifact Foundry respectively, will remain playable, but no further updates will come for either version of the game. “It’s now been about a year and a half since the current Artifact team began work on a reboot in earnest. While we’re reasonably satisfied we accomplished most of our game-side goals, we…

David Newhouse, who led Patriot-News and PennLive to Pulitzer with Sandusky coverage, has died

David Newhouse, who led The Patriot-News and PennLive to a Pulitzer Prize for breaking the Jerry Sandusky scandal at Penn State, died Thursday after a 14-year battle with leukemia. He was 65. During his tenure, the newsroom uncovered political scandals at the state capital that landed some of the most powerful politicians and their associates in jail.

Cuba launches Phase 3 trial of its COVID-19 vaccine. Earlier test results are still unknown

Cuba became the first country in Latin America to launch a Phase 3 trial with a homegrown COVID-19 vaccine Thursday, although the government has not yet released data from earlier testing. “Our Sovereign, the first Latin American phase III vaccine!” wrote Cuban leader Miguel Diaz-Canel on Twitter Thursday, referring to the vaccine known as Soberana in Spanish. Other countries in the region have purchased vaccines or joined COVAX, a World Health Organization-backed initiative to ensure equitable distribution of shots worldwide. Cuba has an experienced biotechnology industry and is betting on…

A match in FACEIT Pro League drew over 100,000 viewers on Twitch, and it boasted Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev finishing the overtime thriller with 69 frags to his name. While FPL games usually are a way for pros to relax and play some Counter-Strike: Global Offensive without too much pressure, a match earlier today drew a lot of attention. Both teams had some of the biggest names in the game on them, with s1mple and Gabriel “fallen” Toledo facing off against BIG’s duo of Johannes “tabseN” Wodarz and Ismailcan “XANTARES” Dortkardes.…

The diagnosis was confirmed during an MRI performed Thursday. “We are all devastated for Collin,” Villanova head coach Jay Wright said in a statement. “He is the heart and soul of our program. We know we can’t replace…

Andrew Cuomo of harassment and asking her questions about her sex life is revealing more details about her encounter — and says she has spoken to other women who endured similar treatment from the governor.

The PR woman: Choose to challenge stereotypes

In 2016, Yuyu Chen on DigiDay referred to the US Bureau of Labour Statistics, stating that ‘women make up 61.3 per cent of the PR industry and 69 per cent of Public Relations Society of America’s members.’ Similarly, an essay titled, “Gender imbalance: why is the female-dominated PR industry still led by men?” published on the International Public Relations Association (IPRA) website, by Elina Melgin, CEO for ProCom, the Finnish Association of Communication Professionals states that as of 2013, Finland had as high as 89.2 per cent of industry practitioners…

‘Can I buy you dinner?’: NYC police watchdog official argues some on-duty cops should be allowed to make romantic overtures to the public

NEW YORK — A member of New York City’s Civilian Complaint Review Board raised eyebrows during a recent virtual meeting when he suggested that if NYPD cops are prohibited from flirting with the public while on duty many officers would never meet their future spouses. The comment was made by Frank Dwyer, a former NYPD cop, during a Feb. 10 hearing to discuss guidelines it will follow when investigating allegations of sexual misconduct against cops. Dwyer suggested the word “unwanted” or other words such as “aggressive” or “rude” be added…

‘Better in your arm than in the trash’: With COVID-19 shots in short supply, some are getting vaccinated with leftover doses that might otherwise be wasted

CHICAGO — While taking her mother to get vaccinated against COVID-19, Gillian Malone unexpectedly lucked out and got a shot as well. Her mom’s appointment was the last slot available at a local grocery store pharmacy. Another patient scheduled around the same time never showed up and couldn’t be reached by phone. So the mom asked the pharmacist if Malone — who didn’t have an appointment and would otherwise be ineligible under current vaccination guidelines — could get that dose, which would have expired within hours and could have gone…
