"Wake up and sing, wake up and sing. Try it for once in your life..." The song, written for the play by Gennady Gladkov, became very popular in the 70s — after it was performed by Larisa Mondrus in the film "Gentlemen of Fortune" (1971).
The musical notes and the taste notes of the coffee formed a symphony.
The notes on the cup and saucer are real. If you play without mistakes, you will hear" The Song of the Lark "by Pyotr Tchaikovsky from the cycle "Seasons". The factory that made the dishes took special permission from the Tchaikovsky house to use the sheet music.
Turkish coffee. I love Turkish coffee, medium roast, very finely ground. 4 teaspoons of coffee, 2 teaspoons of cane sugar and water. Cooked in copper cezve.

Bird of Prey - Great Spotted Eagle (I'm not a big bird connoisseur and I could be wrong).
Collage of two photos: the bird was photographed in the summer, in the Moscow park, for the background it took the winter nature of Krasnogorsk.
The Greater Spotted Eagle (Latin Aquila clanga) is one of the common subspecies of spotted eagles belonging to the hawk family.
You can meet the Great Spotted Eagle on the territory of the forest and forest-steppe. Inhabitants of the Russian latitudes nest in the European region near the Volga in the Urals and the Yenisei valley in Cisbaikalia. Outside of Russia, they can be found in the west of Poland, Finland, Yugoslavia and Romania. Part of the population is located in eastern China.
As a nesting area, great spotted eagles use high-leaved forests located in river valleys and wetlands. For them, the presence of meadows, clearings, swamps and wastelands is important, since in such regions they find themselves a large amount of food. Some representatives are found at an altitude of up to a thousand meters above the sea.
The population of the Greater Spotted Eagle has declined sharply for a number of reasons. The main limiting factor is the disappearance of the habitual habitat. As a rule, this is due to the widespread deforestation, which are used by great spotted eagles for nesting. In addition, the drainage of bogs and plowing of meadows affect the number of the species. At the moment, the great spotted eagle is in the Red Book of Russia.

A cemetery is a sacred place where dead relatives, relatives and friends are buried. It has long been customary to mark their burials with remarkable signs. Christians set up a cross for this. Where did this tradition come from?
What does history say?
Initially, the tomb cross on the grave was the designation of one or more burials. After the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, it acquired a sacred meaning.
Interestingly, in the Roman Empire, death on the cross was considered the most shameful and terrible execution. Such a sentence was given to malicious violators: thieves, murderers and traitors. The criminals died a painful death. They suffered from pain, heat, thirst and annoying insects.
The concept that the body of the deceased is in the earth, and the soul in heaven, appeared in the 5th century. The grave was decorated with a cross depicting the living Christ. After the death of Jesus, a crucifix with a resurrected teacher began to be placed on the cross. In addition, there were a wreath of thorns, blood, etc. Only by the 10th century did Orthodox believers accept the death of Christ and began to portray him as dead.

I personally am far from religion... Epidemics, wars, natural disasters... the funeral business is flourishing... those who buried their relatives and friends understand me.

Fireworks in honor of the birthday of the city of Moscow. September 7, 2019 the capital turned 872.
Fireworks are considered one of the most ancient decorations of holidays, carnivals and processions.
With the invention of gunpowder, something similar to the fireworks that we now observe on holidays has already appeared. They learned to control it, to regulate its speed, strength and direction. Firecrackers from gunpowder were invented by the Chinese, mainly they used them to expel demons. But in Europe, more precisely in Italy, the first festive fireworks were launched. Many believe that Peter I introduced the fireworks fashion, yes, it is, but it is fashion. And here, few people know that fireworks "dabbled" even under Ivan the Terrible.
Celebratory fireworks and salutes gained the most popularity in the 19th century, it was during this period that the development of chemistry took place. More and more chemical compounds were opened, which made it possible to make fireworks colored. At that time, fireworks were so in fashion that they were launched not only with rich houses, but ordinary people could also afford such entertainment. For example, a salute for a wedding.
The peak of the rise in our country of fireworks falls on the 90s of the 20th century, but today we can hardly imagine any significant holiday without fireworks and fiery show programs.
