April, 1985, 50,000 feet over the Irish Sea,

this is the only picture ever taken of a Concorde flying over Mach 2. The photo itself was taken by Adrian Meredith, a prestigious British photographer, from a Panavia Tornado, a British fighter of the Royal Air Force. Meredith had to be quick and precise, because flying that high he had less than 4 mins to take the shot. The fighter couldn't keep up with the Concorde beyond that time. If you look at the horizon, the Earth's curvature begins to show

Medieval Torture for the unfaithful,

Image
Medieval Torture for the unfaithful, here is but just seven of them which if you were unfaithful or a criminal or even just a wroungun you may have received a very sore end on some of these devices  1. Flaying is a method of slow and painful torture and/or execution in which skin is removed from the body. Generally, an attempt is made to keep the removed portion of skin intact 2.The Heretic's fork was a small metal device with two opposed bi-pronged forks attached to a belt. One sharp end was placed against the victim’s throat and the other against their sternum. The victim was forced to hold their head up; if they dropped it, the prongs would pierce their neck and chest. 3. Rat torture was a method used in medieval times. It involved putting a pot of hungry rats into a cage that was strapped to the victim's stomach. The cage was then slowly heated, causing the distressed rats to chew and claw through the victim, trying to escape 4.Crucifixion was once a brutal form of humilia...

10 REASONS NOT TO DATE AN OLDER WOMAN.

Image
10 REASONS NOT TO DATE AN OLDER WOMAN. 1. SHE IS DISRESPECTFUL An older woman won't respect you because she sees you as her junior or a boy not mature enough to guide her. She is probably funding your lifestyle and this makes her disrespect you even more.  2. SHE IS ANGRY Since she is older, she will not plug into your masculine energy. This leaves her empty, deprived and frustrated. What follows is a series of drama and chaos including alcoholism. She hates her life, she is angry at herself and therefore she will project this anger towards you.  3. SHE IS REBELLIOUS An older woman believes she is more mature and experienced than you in the marriage. She will openly refuse your instructions and order. She will ridicule your actions and defy you both in public and private. 4. SHE IS MANIPULATIVE An older woman will manipulate you for her own egocentric needs. She will trick you to make wrong decisions that fulfil her temporary desires then when things backfire she will blame yo...

Breaking out of Black and White Having the ability to quickly react to any given scenario with a yay or nay response can be quite useful in every day life.

Breaking out of Black and White Having the ability to quickly react to any given scenario with a yay or nay response can be quite useful in every day life. Things such as "Should I start crossing the street exactly now?" Or "should I touch this glowing object?" I wouldn't tell anyone to think otherwise- but when it comes down to things we all know should be thought out in proper, most people do tend to still fall into knee-jerk reactions. This isn't anything new for us as humans. The foundations of many ancient esoteric practices are at least in part designed to combat these sorts of reactions. Practices such as Taoism, Buddhism, Hermetics, and even Christianity. Eastern practices tend to lean farther towards speaking directly about dispelling the thought patterns that give rise to these types of reactions. But any spiritual path that includes "Unity" or "Onenes" involves dispelling what is most commonly known as "duality". The ...

Why Onitsha Has No Omu

Image
Women in Igbo History: Omu Nwagboka (A Case Study) Why Onitsha Has No Omu In Western Igbo culture, the belief in the duality of masculine and feminine roles is embodied in the institution of the Omu (Queen Mother). The Omu is the female counterpart to the Obi in Western Igbo (Anioma) society. Omu Nwagboka served as the Omu of Onitsha from 1884 to 1890. She hailed from Ogbotu, in the Ogbendida village of the Umuezearoli lineage. Her appointment as Omu occurred during the reign of His Majesty, Obi Anazonwu. As Omu, Nwagboka led the women's ivory society known as Otu Ọdụ, a prestigious group of titled women permitted to carry elephant ivory, a privilege typically reserved for men in the Ọzọ society. She also headed the women's guild called Otu Ogene. The Omu wielded significant power in the town, controlling commercial activities, managing markets, regulating prices, and determining which foreign traders could operate in the markets. She was responsible for servicing market shrine...

The way Geologists determine the difference between Clay/Mud.

Image
The way Geologists determine the difference between Clay/Mud, Silt, Sand, Pebbles and Boulders is based on the size of the Grains, this is because its all different stages of the same stuff being broken down. Petrified Cedar is chemically the same as Silica/Sand, Petrified Red Cedar Tree Sap is chemically the same as Quartz. There are companies that make sand from petrified wood (think of how much sand is in the world and where it all came from) this information is not based in theory but observable testable reality. Before the birth of the world we inhabit today, long before the fabricated 'recorded' history we've been fed was written, the entire Earth/Realm was a thriving Jungle, These Giant Trees Provided a canopy that would have covered the entire sky. The difference in size from an Ant to a Human is the scale between the Ancient Giant Trees and the Trees we have today. You need to throw all of the mainstream science supporting fake history in the bin, it's all bou...

the Chippewa Flowage.

Image
Every year, dozens of local boat owners in Wisconsin band together to move a giant floating island on Lake Chippewa, also known as the Chippewa Flowage. This floating island, known as the "Forty Acre Bog," is composed of peat, plant roots, mud, and even mature trees. These trees act as sails, catching the wind and moving the island around the lake. When the bog drifts and blocks a crucial bridge connecting the east and west sides of the lake, it requires a community effort to push it back into position using their boats. The floating bogs formed over time as peat bogs from the lake's swampy bottom rose to the surface, creating a habitat rich in biodiversity. Moving the bog is a complex task that relies on favorable wind conditions, and it often requires multiple attempts to place it correctly, or it will drift back within days. This annual task, while challenging, highlights the community's dedication to preserving the natural environment and maintaining access across...

The last American slave ship docked

Image
"The last American slave ship docked illegally in Mobile, Alabama in 1860, carrying about 160 West African captives. Among them was Cudjo Lewis, who recognized how his birth culture might be erased while toiling in this new land. So when he was freed, he purchased two acres and started a self-sufficient community of survivors of the last slave ship. Known to outsiders as Africatown, Lewis' neighborhood was modeled on his West African home, where extended families lived together, members conversed in their regional languages, and partook in traditions that might otherwise be lost to them in America. Today, Africatown still exists and houses the descendants of the nation's last slave ship community.

The Vasa, a heavily armed Swedish warship

Image
The Vasa, a heavily armed Swedish warship , sank in 1628 AD, less than a mile into its maiden voyage due to design flaws. Its top-heavy structure, burdened by 64 bronze cannons, coupled with insufficient ballast, made it unstable and led to its quick demise. After spending 333 years on the sea floor, it was recovered in 1961 in nearly perfect condition. Now displayed at the Vasa Museum in Stockholm, it is celebrated as the best-preserved ship from the 17th century. The cold, brackish waters of the Baltic Sea played a crucial role in preserving the Vasa and its artifacts, making its recovery and ongoing conservation a significant achievement in marine archaeology.
