Amazing Invention of Sir.Thomas Alva Edison
Without the development of Thomas Alva Edison, our lifestyles will no doubt be very different. With both of the amazing technologies that came out of his New Jersey laboratory, this great builder changed our culture immeasurably. Edison, who was brought to the state of Ohio in 1847, received his first intellectual property rights at the age of 21. In 1933, two years after the incident, a full-fledged recognition in his name was granted. So far, you have secured 1,093 U.S. patents and more than 1,200 licenses from different countries. Edison historians estimate that he receives a patent every fourteen days for the rest of his working life. The major responsibilities of his "development" were no different, and he was counted in a legal battle with many other composers of "borrowed" ideas. Edison’s acting skills and the use of his clout often earned him the credit he deserved. Watch this video as much as you can to see why people from Congress are rejecting this machine that will make them more productive and how something Edison did is to shock young women and put their people in a position.

What are Fresco paintings?
What is it? Fresco is a method of wall painting known by various names across different cultures. In buon fresco(true fresco), pigments are mixed with water and applied to an intonaco (damp lime-plaster). With the help of water, the intonaco absorbs and binds the pigments and dries thus making the picture a permanent part of the wall surface. The word fresco (Italian: affresco) is from the Italian adjective fresco meaning "fresh".

So whether you're an aspiring occultist, or someone genuinely interested in the ancient cosmologies and cultures of the Near East, buckle in for a brief description of Egyptian demonology.

The Meaning Behind Nepal's Flag: The Meaning Behind Symbols
The national flag of Nepal is the world's only non-quadrilateral flag that acts as both the state flag and civil flag of a sovereign country. The flag is a simplified combination of two single pennons (or pennants), known as a double-pennon. Its crimson red is the symbol of bravery and it also represents the color of the rhododendron, Nepal's national flower, while the blue border is the color of peace. Until 1962, the flag's emblems, both the sun and the crescent moon, had human faces, but they were removed to modernize the flag.
