Some Mistakes about Armenia by The Wall Street Journal

Never knew that Vartan Mamikonian was an Armenian king, and that he made Christianity our official religion. The Wall Street Journal surprised me; I have never expected to find mistakes in such a newspaper. However, thank you for the article.

Angela Merkel is Opening the Exhibition Dedicated to Armenian Genocide

The famous German newspaper "Bild" writes that today is opening an exhibition in Berlin, where will be presented some facts about Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Empire from 1915 to 1923. The exhibition will open Angel Merkel. An invitation has been sent to Turkish ambassador in Germany. No one is sure about his presence yet, but I hope he will participate in it, and learn the black part of his history.

5 Absurd Scientific Myths People Believe

There have always been several statements we know, which seem to be stupid, but as they say that those statements are proved scientifically, we all believe that they are true. But today I read an article that denies those statements. That is kind of weird, but it is true.
Here is the first statement: "Fingernails and hair continue to grow after death." I remember how one of my teachers at school was telling about it and was saying that it is reality. I was thinking: "Oh wow, so people don't die completely." Though, after reading this article, I feel kind of stupid.
Here is another statement, that I never knew about: "Men think about sex every ten seconds." I could never think that the girls have such an opinion about us, we are not frenetic. 
"The coriolis effect determines the way the water flows down drains." Once one of my classmates at high school asked about it to the teacher of physics, and he described the fact just the way the statement stands.
"The moon has a dark side that never sees sunlight." To be fair I have never heard about this one, but probably there are some people that thought in this way.
And finally the most widespread statement: "We only use 10% of our brains." Haha, I have always thought that it is stupid. If we were using only 10% of our brain, we all would have been paralyzed. For every function we use a certain part of our brain. And the statement, that we use only 10% of our brain is nonsense, if it is so, were is the other 90% of i?. Or if we don't use the other 90% why don't those cells die.
Take it easy.

Why Is Putin Crying?

Yesterday all famous news portals were telling about how Vladimir Putin was crying, after being elected as the  President of Russian. In this video you can easily see the tears on Putin's eyes. The news portals are writing that the tears were, because he was very happy, some of them write that it was a strategy.
Though, the press secretary of Putin told that Putin wasn't crying, and the tears were because of the wind.
I will let everyone decide for himself the reason of Putin's tears. However, I congratulate him, and I think that comparing to the other candidates, he is the only one, who can  lead the biggest country in the world.

Forbes: Most Powerful People

                                         
          The world known journal Forbes introduces the list of the most powerful people of the world. The top places of this list are very competitive. This year the top three most powerful people are:

1. Barack Obama, President of the USA,
2. Vladimir Putin, Prime-minister of Russia,
3. Hu Jintao, President of People's Republic of China,

          The list is made, based on the amount of the people, over whom they have power, the financial resources controlled by them, the number of spheres, on which they have power, and the most important index is how actively they used their power.
          As we all saw in summer of 2011, during the technical default in the USA, China was willing to help, but had ambitions to make its currency Yuan N1 international currency in the world. Russian prime-minister Vladimir Putin has also taken very active role in international arena.  So Barack Obama has really strong competitors. As we can see Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany, is the most powerful woman in the world.
          But in general, if we take a look at the list, we can see that the most powerful people of the word are men. I think that women should take more active role in political and social arenas, and not to say that they don't have the same opportunities as men. Because Angela Merkel and Hillary Clinton are bright examples of those opportunities.
