Some adults, according to their own education and childhood, might become very angry and answer in short
Could you please stop asking stupid questions?
Are there any stupid questions anyway?
Well, after teaching high schools for 35 years, I must admit, there are some stupid questions. However, blocking smart children from asking their questions is not a very good idea at all.
Because they will always try to find an answer how the world is working, or, in the words of the German Shakespeare, Johann Wolfgang Goethe
Was die Welt im Innersten zusammenhält.
So, why is a very smart question, and telling kids to shut up might be necessary from time to time; however, telling them why you are not able to answer their question at a certain moment in time is always a good idea.
AND TODAY YOU MIGHT WISH TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE HYPE ON LONGEVITY AND THE BLUE ZONES, AND WHY THE BRAIN IS AN ORGAN.
About the Cingulate Gyrus
Muscles and Brains | Organs of Humans
Key factor 1: Exercise
Key factor 2: Nutrition
Key factor 3: Social life
The fact is…
The brains of the superagers in a given area appeared to be very healthy; they also have another special feature, reports Düzel:
An area of the anterior part of the cingulate gyrus was relatively large in comparison.
This is a region that is associated with perseverance and the ability to maintain effort.
“This could be the basis for super-agers living a healthier lifestyle.”
But not everyone who lives a healthy life becomes a superager, emphasises Düzell. BECAUSE …
The rest is DNA and a dose of luck.
No accidents and the like…
The wrong place at the wrong time might cause an accident.
Why?

John F. Kennedy and Frank Sinatra had a complex and multifaceted relationship that evolved over time. Initially, they shared a mutual admiration and friendship that was beneficial to both. Sinatra was instrumental in supporting Kennedy’s presidential campaign, even changing the lyrics of his song “High Hopes” to promote JFK’s candidacy². They both enjoyed the company of celebrities and were known for their charm and charisma.
Sinatra’s influence was used to attract other high-profile entertainers to support Kennedy, and he organized a pre-inauguration gala that was a significant event¹. Their friendship, however, began to strain due to Sinatra’s alleged connections with the Mafia, which became a concern for Kennedy, especially given his brother Robert’s aggressive campaign against organized crime⁵.
The breaking point in their relationship came when Sinatra had a private suite and helipad built at his home in anticipation of a visit by the president. However, due to the advice of Robert Kennedy and the potential political fallout from Sinatra’s mob associations, the visit was canceled, and the friendship suffered⁵. Sinatra was said to have taken a sledgehammer to the helipad after the snub by the president⁴.

Frank Sinatra Jr., was indeed taken hostage in a kidnapping incident. On December 8, 1963, Frank Sinatra Jr., who was just beginning his music career, was performing at Harrah’s Club Lodge in Lake Tahoe when he was abducted by a group of amateur criminals¹. The kidnappers were Barry Keenan and Joe Amsler, who had been plotting the crime for several weeks, aiming to demand a hefty ransom from Sinatra Sr.
The abduction took place just days after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, adding to the national atmosphere of shock and turmoil. Sinatra Jr. was taken from his dressing room at gunpoint, and the kidnappers demanded a ransom of $240,000¹. Frank Sinatra Sr. complied with the demand, and the ransom was paid through a drop between two school buses in Sepulveda, California¹.
The kidnappers, however, became anxious and decided to release Sinatra Jr. after just over two days. He was found unharmed, walking through Bel Air, and was quickly brought to his mother Nancy’s home to avoid the press². The FBI was involved in the case, and the ransom money was tracked, leading to the arrest of the kidnappers¹.
The incident was highly publicized and became one of the most infamous kidnappings in American history. It also sparked rumors and conspiracy theories, but ultimately, it was a traumatic event for the Sinatra family, and Frank Sinatra Jr. continued his career in music after the ordeal¹².

Kinesiology is a holistic approach to health that focuses on the body’s movement and muscle function. It uses muscle monitoring, also known as biofeedback, to identify imbalances that may be contributing to disease or discomfort. The goal is to detect and correct these imbalances, which can be related to stress, nutrition, or minor injuries or trauma.
The practice of kinesiology is rooted in chiropractic and applied kinesiology, and it incorporates principles from traditional Chinese medicine, such as the concept of chi energy. Techniques used in kinesiology may include acupressure, lymphatic massage, hypertonic muscle release, attention to reflex points, and nutritional advice.
Kinesiologists believe that by addressing unresolved stress reactions and promoting the body’s natural healing process, they can improve physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health.
However, it’s important to note that kinesiology is not used to diagnose disorders and should be complemented with conventional medical treatment when necessary.
So finding the right professional advice is always key!
Chi energy, known as Qi in Chinese and Prana in Indian traditions, is considered a vital life force that flows through all living beings. It’s believed to be the essence that animates the body and mind, providing health, vitality, and well-being.
In Chinese culture, Qi is a fundamental concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), martial arts, and Taoism. It’s thought to be the energy that flows through the body along pathways called meridians. Practices like acupuncture, tai chi, and qigong are designed to balance and enhance the flow of Qi for better health.

Indian tradition also holds Prana in high regard. It’s described in ancient texts like the Vedas and Upanishads as the primal force of life. Pranayama, a practice of breath control in yoga, is one way to cultivate Prana. It’s believed that by regulating the breath, one can influence the flow of Prana and thus improve physical and mental health.
Both Qi and Prana are seen as energies that can be harnessed for healing and maintaining balance within the body. They are also associated with spiritual practices aimed at achieving harmony with the universe.
Usui Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan. It’s based on the idea that a universal life force energy flows through all living things and that imbalances in this energy can lead to physical, emotional, or mental health issues. The healing process involves a practitioner channeling this energy into the recipient to promote balance and well-being⁶.
The benefits of Usui Reiki and Reiki healing in general include:
Relief from pain, anxiety, and fatigue: Reiki may help reduce these symptoms, which can be particularly beneficial for those undergoing medical treatments or experiencing stress¹.
Improvement in mood: Reiki treatments have been associated with improved mood and feelings of relaxation¹.
Enhanced quality of life: Patients have reported better sleep patterns, increased self-confidence, and reduced depression levels after Reiki sessions¹.
Support for the immune system: By promoting relaxation and reducing stress, Reiki may help stimulate the body’s natural healing processes³.
Pain relief: Some studies suggest that Reiki can be effective in managing pain, especially when used alongside conventional treatments¹.
It’s important to note that while many people report positive experiences with Reiki, scientific research on its effectiveness is still ongoing. However, it is widely used as a complementary therapy to support overall health and well-being.

Another historic day of 2 German States after WW2 and the uprising of the Bln people against Soviet Tanks!
Later same story in Hungary!
And Prague! Now in the Ukraine!
The Volksaufstand in East Berlin on June 17, 1953, was a significant uprising against the government of the German Democratic Republic (GDR). It began with strikes by construction workers in East Berlin on June 16, protesting against work quotas during the Sovietization process. The next day, the demonstrations escalated into a widespread uprising involving over one million people across about 700 localities in the country.
The protesters demanded political and economic changes, including the resignation of the government, free elections, and the release of all political prisoners. The uprising was marked by a wave of strikes, mass demonstrations, and political protests. It was one of the largest revolutionary movements in Germany’s history and had a profound impact on the long-term development of the GDR.
The Soviet Union responded by sending troops to suppress the uprising, resulting in violent clashes and numerous casualties. The event is remembered as a pivotal moment in German history and is commemorated as Tag der Deutschen Einheit (Day of German Unity) in Germany.
Dieses Europa hat so viele Mütter und Väter, so viele Dichter und Denker, die es geprägt haben: Perikles und Paulus, Calderon und Caravaggio, Erasmus und Luther; Franz von Assisi, Theresa von Avila und Hildegard von Bingen; Mozart und Marx; Dante, Dostojewski und Simone de Beauvoir; Leonardo da Vinci, Richard Löwenherz und Hannah Arendt. Der europäische Staat, so er noch entsteht, kommt also nicht aus dem Nichts, er kommt aus der Fülle; er ist, er wäre der Höhepunkt der europäischen Geschichte. „Machten wir eine Bilanz unseres geistigen Besitzes auf, so würde sich herausstellen, dass das meiste davon nicht unserem jeweiligen Vaterland, sondern dem gemeinsamen europäischen Fundus entstammt. Vier Fünftel unserer inneren Habe sind europäisches Gemeingut“ – so hat das der spanische Philosoph José Ortega y Gasset beschrieben. Das Europaparlament arbeitet auf diesem Fundament.

A Modern-Day Romeo and Juliet with a Digital Twist
1
“Maxton Hall” is a contemporary adaptation of the classic tale of Romeo and Juliet, set against the backdrop of a prestigious private school. The series, which has captured the hearts of viewers with its first season, delves into the complexities of young love, class differences, and the pervasive influence of social media.
2
At its core, “Maxton Hall” is a reimagined script of Shakespeare’s tragedy. Ruby Bell and James Beaufort are the star-crossed lovers of this narrative, embodying the essence of Juliet and Romeo respectively. Their love story is a testament to the timeless nature of Shakespeare’s work, even as it is transposed onto the digital age’s canvas.
The series paints a vivid picture of the socioeconomic divide through the contrasting lives of its protagonists. James hails from wealth and privilege, while Ruby’s background is one of struggle and determination. This dichotomy is the heartbeat of the show, driving home the message that love does not discriminate, even when society does.
3
Hopelessly Romantic with Intelligent Dialogues
“Maxton Hall” shines in its portrayal of romance, not through grand gestures, but through the intelligent and heartfelt dialogues between its characters. The conversations are crafted with care, allowing the audience to feel the depth of the characters’ emotions and the weight of their words.
4
Social Media’s Role:
The series does not shy away from showcasing the influence of social media on the lives of its characters. It serves as both a catalyst for conflict and a mirror to the envy and gossip that plague their world. Yet, it also becomes a tool for connection, demonstrating the duality of the digital age.
5
Conclusion:
“Maxton Hall” is a compelling watch that successfully blends the old with the new. It is a story of love that is both hopelessly romantic and strikingly relevant, set in a world where social media is the omnipresent narrator. The series invites viewers to reflect on the nature of love, the barriers we erect, and the ties that bind us across the digital divide.
As a Teacher of German and English: Watch the series in class or classes watch at home in groups:
Read the Shakespeare Original
Watch the best Films Julia & Romeo
Or selected Scenes to be discussed in groups.
Ask classes to write a film script of the same quality, draft contents and characters and settings with the classes one by one in group work.

Blood pudding, also known as black pudding, is a type of blood sausage that is a traditional delicacy in many parts of the world, particularly in the United Kingdom and Ireland⁶. It’s made from animal blood, typically pig’s blood, which acts as a binder for other ingredients such as oats or barley. This mixture is then encased and cooked, resulting in a rich, savory sausage that’s often served as part of a full breakfast⁷.
Cooking with blood is a practice that dates back centuries and is found in various cuisines globally. Blood can be used as a thickener for sauces, a filler in sausages, and even as a solid ingredient in dishes like blood tofu or blood pancakes¹. It’s known for its nutritional value, providing a source of iron and protein⁶.
Blood sausages are a diverse group of foods, with many regional variations. They can be made with different types of blood and fillers, and they’re enjoyed for their unique flavors and textures. Some common fillers include meat, fat, suet, bread, cornmeal, onion, chestnuts, barley, oatmeal, and buckwheat¹³. In some cultures, sweet variants with sugar, honey, orange peel, and spices are also popular¹³.
The taste of blood pudding and blood sausages can be described as earthy and rich, with a distinct flavor that reflects their main ingredient. They are often enjoyed fried and can be a hearty addition to any meal¹⁴.
If you’re interested in trying your hand at making blood sausage or incorporating blood into your cooking, there are many recipes and variations to explore. It’s a unique ingredient that offers a taste of tradition and a connection to culinary history. Bon appétit! 🍴
