7 How these buildings made Turkey-Syria’s earthquake so deadly
How these buildings made Turkey-Syria’s earthquake so deadly
Disasters can happen anywhere in the world, but they can also be avoided. And one of the ways to avoid them is to follow the regulations and basic standards of construction so when something terrible as an earthquake happens the losses won’t be so big. But apparently the Turkish government, the bureaucrats and the construction companies didn’t follow their own laws and allowed buildings to be erected in ways that should have never been made just to save on materials and get money in their pockets. And it was the civilians the ones who lost everything. All dictatorships breed corruption.
6 Everyone Hated This Painting. Now It's Worth Millions
This Painting Is More Dangerous Than It Seems. Here's Why.
What is probably the most beautiful painting of the 19th century was once vilified and condemned to oblivion in a basement. It wasn’t until the 1960s when it was rediscovered and now hangs at the MOMA. I’m a freak for art, I have posted several collections of paintings here on this platform and will continue to do so in the future. This painting is Sir Frederic Leighton’s masterpiece and a testament of the great art the 19th century produced.
5 Van Gogh As a Guide to Confidence
Van Gogh As a Guide to Confidence
Dutch master Vincent Van Gogh produced more than 800 paintings in his life. In a period of just eight years he went from amateur to master. He never got discouraged and treated his work with utmost respect. He once wrote to his brother: “To suffer without complaint is the only lesson we have to learn in this life”. People miss things without even realize it, they are instructed on what to love and to what hate and later they look back and realize what they were missing. Be confident and continue on your life’s path.

2 Should MEN be MORE or LESS MASCULINE??
Should MEN be MORE or LESS MASCULINE??
Since the 1960s the war on men hasn’t stopped. Men, especially in western societies, have been taught to repress their masculinity and be more in touch with their feelings. But those things couldn’t be further from the truth. A man is defined by his actions, not by his feelings. A man has to look like a man, not like a nerd or like a gay. What’s going to happen next? The world needs good real men to face the evils that will always come from bad and corrupted men. A weak man is a useless man. And a real man is a masculine man.

Remember this quote I read a few years go: Only the things that are planned are the ones that get done.
Bonus Video:
Depeche Mode - Ghosts Again (Official Video)
Depeche Mode - Ghosts Again (Official Video)
With a great intro that hooks you up from the very beginning, this is the new song by one of my favorite bands of all time. Depeche Mode should be on everyone’s lists of favorite bands. This new song has a catchy upbeat rhythm and melody and the wonderful lyrics written by Martin Gore seem to talk about life and death and how we all will be spiritual beings again. They seem also to be a tribute to the great Fletch. The video is directed by Dutchman Anton Corbijn who has been directing and photographing the band since the 1980s. It is a reminiscence of that 1950s fantasy movie of Bergman where a man plays chess with the death. I can’t wait to get my hands on Depeche Mode’s new cd. RIP Andy Fletcher.
