Эпитафии в Древнем Риме
В те времена надгробия не были предназначены только для семьи или близких покойного, они создавались для всех.
Эпитафии говорили не о скорби близких, а скорее о социальной роли покойного. Обсуждение за ужином своего будущего надгробия не вызывало неловкости и не наводило на мрачные мысли; скорее это позволяло лишний раз обратить внимание на присущие человеку заслуги и добродетели. Каждый пирующий охотно, особенно после нескольких чаш вина, устраивал публичное чтение своей будущей эпитафии.
Эпитафия была возможностью передать некое послание: «Я жил бедно, так, как было мне предназначено жить, и теперь я советую вам брать от жизни больше удовольствий, чем это делал я. Жизнь такова: и все мы здесь будем. Любить, пить, ходить в бани — вот настоящая жизнь: после ничего уже не будет. Я же никогда не следовал советам философов. Не доверяйте врачам, это они меня убили».
Для современного человека подобные надписи на надгробиях означали бы неуважение к покойному. Но римляне, в отличие от нас, не боялись выносить сор из избы.

The Table of Observation
Apparently used in the USSR, this table, or perhaps a variation of it, was used to test a person’s observational skills.
However, I’m not sure how true that is as I can’t seem to find any information on it. What I did find seems to all originate from a Russian social media platform, vk.
➤ Does anyone have any information about this “table of observation”?
Ps - I did it in 9:13 🙂
••••••••••
Give it a try. Find the numbers sequentially from 1 to 90.
5-10 mins: you have exceptional powers of observation
10-15 mins: good
15-20 mins: medium
20-25 mins: you have satisfactory observation, but amazing patience

Night & a Spectre— Night was clothed in black, with a thick impenetrable veil covering nearly all his person. The veil was studded all over with golden stars, and planets, and formed a tiny representation of the clear sky on a dark night. Some of the planets were full, others in partial occultation: Saturn with his ring was visible. The veil was folded gracefully on his left arm. In his right hand he held a black mirror, having a transparent centre, in which the crescent moon was shining. With this upheld, he allured the spectre to follow him. The spectre, in perfect white, and with outstretched arms and solemn pace, obeyed the summons in awful silence. The effect was beautiful.

Author Arthur Young born 11/3/05 was an American inventor, helicopter pioneer, philosopher and astrologer. He invented the Bell Helicopter, and founded the "Institute for the Study of Consciousness" in Berkeley in 1972.
He spoke for angel angles and modular mathematics that Vortex Based Math holds as a foundation and developed the formula for the torus and the hypersphere and an element of consciousness as a dimension of space and time.

Li Ching Yuen - the man who lived for 256 years!
* * * * *
Li Ching-Yuen (李清云) was a Chinese herbalist, martial artist and tactical advisor, known for his extreme longevity.
He died from natural causes on 6 May 1933 in Kai Xian, Sichuan, Republic of China.
Ching-Yuen produced over 200 descendants during his life span, surviving 24 wives. Other sources credit him with 180 descendants, over 11 generations, living at the time of his death and 14 marriages.
HOW TO ACHIEVE LONGEVITY?🌿
In 1927, General Yang Sen invited Li Qhing Yuen to Wanxian, China, to teach about health and longevity. Li Qingyun was reported to be 250 years old at the time, and his visit to Wanxian was big news. In 1970, Yang Sen compiled a book of his and other’s accounts of Li Qhing, titled "An Authentic and True Record of a 250-Year-Old Man", which Stuart Alve Olson started translating into English in the 1982.
