And it is not a room in your home, namely the remote corners of our planet. We offer you to get acquainted with a selection of 10 places where you can not make a phone call.

 1. Kifuka, Democratic Republic of Congo

Kifuka, Democratic Republic of Congo

Kafka - one of the most dangerous places in the world. According to statistics, one square kilometer misses 158 lightning strikes per year. Accordingly, the use of any electronic device can be equated to suicide.

2. Green Bank, USA, West Virginia

Green Bank, USA, West Virginia
 Green Bank - the city in which is located the largest telescope (his task - to take the weak signals from space). Therefore, it is forbidden to use any device with electromagnetic radiation. This list misses mobile telephony, Wi-Fi-network and even radio.

3. Motu China

 Motu China
 Motu region is in Tibet, local Buddhists consider it sacred. Getting there is very difficult, 200-meter-long suspension bridge and permafrost (still need to understand that this terrible) stand in your way. Area is unpopulated (all because of this bridge, exactly, I know), so here is a very unusual fauna.

4. Muli, Faroe Islands

Muli, Faroe Islands
 Here is the unpredictable weather, the resources required for life, virtually none. Although it does not bother those four locals. Tourism is not very common, so Muli safely be called "God forsaken place." On any communications it does not even go.

5. Pitcairn Island, Pacific Ocean

Pitcairn Island, Pacific Ocean
 The population of Pitcairn Island is only 50 people. Mobile, internet or anything else associated with civilization here. Contact with the outside world is only supported using the ship that visits the island once a month.

6. Station "Academician Vernadsky" Galindez Island, Antarctica

Station "Academician Vernadsky" Galindez Island, Antarctica
  I think, you know, that the station "Academician Vernadsky" - the only Ukrainian station in Antarctica. Communication with the outside world is only via satellite and the internet speed is not always enough even to send an email.

7. Wayan Louth, Philippines

Wayan Louth, Philippines
 Locals nicknamed the "sea gypsies" because most of their lives they spend in the floating homes and rarely set foot on shore. Wayan Louth is a list of places unsuitable for life. There is no drinking water, no electricity, and communication with the "big" world is very rare.

8. Socotra Island, Indian Ocean

Socotra Island, Indian Ocean
 All the coolness of the island is that it is completely isolated from the outside world (often referred to as his "alien place on Earth"), so you can meet the very unusual plants. Socotra is home to about 42 thousand local residents, despite this number, some creature comforts (mobile or internet) is not here.

9. Oymyakon, Yakutia

Oymyakon, Yakutia
Oymyakon village - the coldest inhabited place on the planet (the temperature was recorded -71 ° C). In such circumstances, freezes almost everything, not to mention the mobile phone, which simply can not operate at the same temperature. Communication with the outside world residents here are very rare, planes fly only in the summer (and then once a week.)

10. Gorai, India

Gorai, India

Gorai - village where the whole lifestyle is based on meditation. Therefore, with phones, tablets and other gadgets here you do not even miss. In Gorai you should strictly follow the established routines of the day (nothing complicated - sleep, eat, relax, meditate). So, just do not use the phone here, then mobile, respectively, are not.
Not as bad as it seems at first glance, because in such places you can really relax from all the benefits of civilization, only Kifuka lightning and frost-Oimjakon better still avoided.

How to Choose Suit for Groom?

No comments


Wedding - thrilling, solemn and insanely romantic event in the life of every loving couple. Great many bridal salons offer a wide selection of different models of luxury wedding dresses for brides for every taste. And usually, when choosing a shade or fashioned dress, the bride is guided by emotional outbursts: like it or not. When choosing a wedding suit for the groom should take into account a number of different factors that must be followed. When it comes to choosing a wedding suit for the groom, first it may seem that there is nothing complicated about it, but in the end it turns out that it is not a simple matter.




In order to determine the suitable costume or not, need to wear a jacket, put your hands down at his sides and pull down the fingers. The sleeve must cover the upper arm and shirt cuff should peek out of the jacket for a couple of centimeters. Pants should cover the heel of his shoes behind and slightly overhang on the front of the shoe. Because the buttons and buttons on the stomach can draw attention to a small tummy groom, a style more suited tall and slender. As a rule, men are not fastidious in choosing clothes, and although not like costumes, it was still quite conservative in this regard. When choosing a wedding costume before fiance has two main objectives: on the one hand it must attract attention (ie, stand out from the mass of men invited guests), and on the other - just owes its appearance to emphasize the beauty of the bride. Properly chosen costume will help solve both problems with ease.

PROPORTIONS OF THE FIGURE
First of all it is necessary to evaluate the proportions of the figure. This will help decide on a style of costume and features of its cut. So, the groom has a high growth, avoid costumes from fabrics with vertical lines. Be sure to follow the proportions of the jacket with respect to the pants, otherwise even the most respectable bride will look like a boy graduate. Suitors with dense complexion contrary need to choose costumes from fabrics with stripes, but one should avoid double-breasted jackets, especially with pockets. Groom with an athletic physique best option would be to appeal to the tailor. Breasted jacket is better to choose, overlying cut to shape, he stressed. Holders broad torso should pay special attention to the choice of shoes - it is better if it is a bit massive and can visually balance the proportions of the figure.


WHAT IS YOUR STYLE?

Each suit can be attributed to a particular style, that is, not every outfit will look great at the ceremony, much depends on the conditions under which it will pass.

1. Jacket with divergent floors
Due to its traditional tailoring this jacket is usually suitable for morning weddings. Usually it is sewn in black or gray, with a single button at the waist, one stands behind a characteristic "tail." Usually it is worn with shirts with a winged collar, Ascot and striped trousers. If you like to try interesting clothing styles, and you feel that this style suits you, then you can have a little more to play with him, and gloves, hat and bring your cane. To avoid unnecessary formalities, you can put together a mischievous colors tie Ascot.

2. Tuxedo
White or ivory tuxedo is a classic in combination with spiky collar and lapels. It will look great on a summer wedding or where the weather is warm year-round. Better suited for the ceremony in the afternoon or even evening. It will look good at the wedding, which will all just their own, as well as rehearsals. Usually it goes well with formal black trousers with the satin stripe on the sides. You can buy a new tuxedo, and rent it in any good shop. If you're a particularly persistent and very attentive, you can dig up an interesting option in vintage clothing boutique. However, make sure that all the elements were in place and does not have any spots or holes. You'll look great in a white tuxedo, even if your friends are all in black. On the contrary, it will look very contrasting and effectively.

3. Blazer mid-thigh
Often, these jackets are also made with the effect of divergent sexes. Looks very good with some cute vest. In Paris, you may very well have seen a similar cut, especially in the fashion houses such as Christian Dior and Kenzo.

4. Jacket with tail
Usually it looks like this: Front jacket is short enough, but behind it is decorated with two beautiful long "tail." Looks great with pants with suspenders, white shirt, vests and bow tie. Very formal style.

5. Traditional tuxedo and black tie
Usually worn if the celebration is scheduled for after 6 pm, but often occurs at the official ceremony and at any time after noon. Black or gray jacket, buttoned one button looks classically. Also, it is great little corner scarf or "jagged" lapels. Also do not forget about ironed pants, bow tie (no extra brightness), suspenders, vest or belt clip. For greater elegance, you can wear a white shirt under a white shirt and tie.

6. New black tie
Another variation for an evening celebration will be a classic black tuxedo with satin trim on the lapels tesemchatoy and beautiful trousers. These tuxedos are worn with the black shirt and tie instead of a stylish butterfly. And very often replace suspenders belt.

7. Great black suit
This option is perfect for dressy not too pompous ceremony or for those brides who do not want to wear a tuxedo. Choose a coal-black or dark blue coloring, which is the perfect tie with elegant patterns virtually invisible.


LAPEL JACKET

A very important element is his jacket lapel, or rather how it is pressed to the boutonniere. So, here are the main options:

1. Lapels with an obtuse angle
This type of lapel repeats forms a V-neck jacket and collar and lapel are not connected to a single lane. Emphasize the horizontal active style - not the best choice.

2. Lapels acute angle
This lapel includes 2 types of tissue on both sides who seek up with a short interval between the collar and lapel.

3. Collar lapel
Rounded lapel looks like a slightly extended collar. Looks very elegant if made of satin fabric or contrasting color. Excellent choice if you would rather tall and thin, or, on the contrary, short and stocky.

If you are traveling alone, be careful when meeting with suspicious couples or even triples of people who are trying to make friends with you and offer a drink or a meal together. There are often offered drugs and rob foreigners. To distinguish a friendly Turk on anyone's mind that something was wrong, ask him to do it and keep the picture as a souvenir, and see how he reacts. Did not try out that offers you a stranger, since you simply can start allergy or poisoning. If he starts screaming that you hurt his generosity and hospitality, feel free to go to the police station or a bank where there is a guard to avoid anything serious.

As a result, the traditional gender segregation in Turkish men tends to believe that any woman, moves alone, may be subject to prosecution. But fortunately, in most cases to a "serious assault" is not reached. Of course, provided that you will behave and dress modestly, men will treat you very politely and with kindness. Wearing a wedding ring can be a serious reason for them not to touch you, will also help sunglasses that will not let you face looks a particularly arrogant and ill-mannered men. Unfortunately, many Turks are taking the standard polite smile for flirting, so be careful in the first place to themselves.

Pay attention to the labels on the restaurants, they have a special place reserved for relaxation and comfort women. Take care that they were written or Aile ailé Salonu - it means "family." In a society where some women run amok and booze is not recommended.

If you take a taxi, a woman in any case should not sit in the front passenger seat.

If you are traveling by bus, choose the empty space where no one. Often women have separate spaces in front of the cabin, you can notify about this. If no one shows you where you sit in any case do not sit at the end of the cabin. If it happened that you have faced harassment and molestation, Turkey is always about it will create the maximum amount of noise to attract public attention and embarrass therapist.

Social etiquette


Handshake is the normal form of greeting. Very rude to point a finger at anyone, poke someone in the toe or blow your nose in public. If you itch to clean your nose in public, try to leave the room and do it alone. In teeth can be picked only covering the whole thing by hand. Also, open displays of affection in public are discouraged.

It is very well developed hospitality, but visitors should respect Islamic traditions. Informal wear is acceptable, but the beach is only valid vestments at the beach or pool. Smoking is common, but not in the territory of cinemas, theaters, city buses or taxis.

Turks evince consent, that is, "yes» - Even, nod forward and down. Say "no» - Hahyur can nod up and back, lifting up his eyebrows at this or just nod without raising his eyebrows. Turks can also "tsyknut" to say "no." When you move your head from side to side, as if you say "I do not understand," "thank you" You can express lifted his hand to his heart and sometimes a little nod.

In big cities, you can take photos anywhere and anytime you wish. But in rural areas better to ask permission, especially if you want to take pictures of women who put on headscarves.

Taxes and gratuities


Turkey also has its own VAT, which is called KDV, it is usually already included in the price of most goods and services. This is evidenced by the relevant inscriptions on tablets places «Fiyatlarimizda KDV Dahildir» (KDV already included in price). Very rarely happens that KDV will add to the cost separately, be attentive to this. Many hotels and shops can offer you a good discount if you agree not to take a check or receipt.

Generally tourists can regain KDV when leaving the country, especially if committed serious shopping, for example, you bought a jacket or carpets. However, not all stores participate in this scheme, so you should ask the owners and their vendors. If the answer is yes, they take a special form, it will be converted into cash in the bank of international departure lounge at the airport or in other places on the border of Turkey.

The average tip here is 10% of the cost of meals in some of the more expensive restaurants you can take from 10-15% without fail, they will be included in the bill. In the cheap hotels and restaurants such as no one would expect a tip from you. The only thing that porters usually give 2% of the room.

Taxi drivers will be glad if you give them a little more, but a taxi with a fixed rate will not wait on you this. Be careful that what you're driving at, not to get into an awkward situation.

In the Turkish baths (Hamam) You can also leave a small tip.

10 Tips on how to choose perfume

No comments


Nowadays, you will rarely find a man or woman who does not use any perfume at all. Everyone can pick up something to their liking, emphasizing their individuality and adding another image flavor. Many turn this process into something like buying vegetables at the local supermarket without thinking about what mistakes were made. Do not forget that our scent plays a very important role in shaping their own style and even establishing themselves in society. When the spirits matched perfectly, the person feels just fine, nothing to spoil his mood, on the contrary, such a harmony literally illuminates it from the inside, he feels confident, as all around make him compliments about the wonderful aroma emanating from it.

how to choose perfume


I do not think anyone will blame me if I call a true art of perfumery. Creating fragrances - it is incredibly delicate work, and incorrect choice spirits of the final consumer is already almost a crime! Many lend themselves to someone else's influence and opt for popular copies without even bothering to "discover" them for yourself.

Let's try to deal with the fact, as you still need to choose a perfume that will remain in your life for a long time and will be the most loyal companion for many years to come. Especially for you I have collected some tips that will help you to understand what you really want from the aroma, and as a result find exactly what you need.

1. Take your time

One of the most important pieces of advice I can give you when you puzzled by the question of selection of spirits, is that in any case should not be hasty! Best flavor try several times under different mood and feeling. Do not jump to conclusions, his breath several times, standing at the window in a perfume shop. Stay with the smell alone for the day, go to sleep and wake up with him. Watch for how to respond to all your flavor receptors, whether beginning headache or nausea. Sniffs him periodically throughout the day, and, if possible, after a while before buying do so several times.

2. Try fragrance on your skin

Let's start with the fact that all these paper strips, which usually consultants offer you to familiarize yourself with the scent, you can, in fact, with the scent not familiar. Fragrance should try only on the skin, and then to not suffer from neponravilis smell spritz it needs on hand in the space between the wrist and the elbow. Let the smell of "soak" into your skin and show you all that he is capable of. By that I mean the fact that many perfumes enough "complex". Smell flows smoothly from one to another, magically transformed into some final version, which may be quite different from what it was in the beginning. 
Usually perfume structure consists of three notes:

1) Head note
Fragrances consist of different ingredients, each of which has a certain volatility. So as soon as you splash your spirits on hand, over time each of them will gradually "leave" of flavor, revealing a certain way. Many smells miraculously transformed by interacting with the heat of your body.

The process of the first phase lasts for several minutes to 1 to 1.5 hours. After most of the flavor will go unstable components, you will feel headache (initial) note, which, as it will prepare you for the fact that the spirits in turn eventually.

2) Cardiac note
You're already starting to feel the very core of flavor, this is a defining smell your perfume. They are also called heart notes. It was at this moment aroma should be as close to you and pleasant.

3) The base notes and a loop
Each of us was a time when a friend or a complete stranger man walked past us, and after it was a light scent that literally beckoning us to follow him. This so-called plume of spirits, which can only be revealed in such a "state" and nothing else. Base note - is a note that was left on your skin after a fairly prolonged contact, being a most unpredictable and that is why it is interesting. Ensure that morning to you all also gladly breathed convert flavor and feel how beautiful it is in this phase too.

Remember that you must like flavor in all three stages of "weathering". Only then it will be a real gift of fate, not just wasted money.

3. Do not test many flavors at once

In the previous section, I advise you to try the spirits, splashing their hands on the skin, most often we do it right on your wrist. Very gentle place that was like meant to drip on his lovely charming aromas.

So, since we only have two hands, I would not advise you to test more than two flavors at a time. Otherwise, they will gradually blend into one another and slightly mislead your impression of each of them. Better spent on the choice between albeit only four options you are interested in a little more time than nabryzgatsya all at once and simply get lost in them.

4. As soon as possible, leave the store

Do not expect to be able to catch the flavor, being in a perfume shop. You will be confused by a lot of other smells, and even a jar of fragrant coffee here once you no help. Make it a rule: dripped perfume as soon as possible and get out of the scented room. No matter where you go on, most importantly, that your nose was free from other spirits, flying in such places.

5. Note characteristics from manufacturer

Except for the name of each flavor is credited with some more features that reflect its basic notes. Set epithets sometimes rather trivial, but still I would advise you to pay attention to them. Sensual, expressive, romantic, elegant, natural, sporty - these words tell of what character or character prevails in the spirits try to relate them to each other. So it will be easier to "understand" the flavor and remember it as well as to narrow the range of possible options, if you suddenly doubted. And perhaps he will reveal in you that years stored somewhere in the corner of your soul!

6. Correlate flavor to season

Everyone knows that the flavors can not always be completely universal, even if they come to you in all respects, they may be simply inappropriate for the time of year. Not every citrus, candy, fresh and floral fragrance, even if your favorite will go perfectly with the frosty air. And about how hard it would be to go with spicy and sharp oriental fragrance in the summer, I think, and say no. Of course, if you're madly in love with a smell, and this passion is not extinguished under the influence of the change of seasons, stay true to him throughout the year. But if you feel a certain discrepancy may either flavor is not suitable for this time.

Personally, I now left alone with enough winter and heavy perfume, really want to buy something more suitable for our solar and very fresh spring. They are too aggravating my image and set the wrong mood, despite the fact that winter is nothing better for me my favorites.

7. Not pursue fashion

A friend of mine worked for a while in the famous perfume shop, and one day she told us that it was brought to an entirely new, but the sensational perfume that every second buyer acquires, not even sniffing. Girls and adult women grabbed stylish box with a vial of an unknown smell them without hesitation. Consultant to the question if they are familiar with the aroma, almost all answered "No", it is not embarrassed about the situation. The television was launched very bright, beautiful and sexy ad featuring stars, magazines were filled with notes about this perfume, no one even thought that it could someone not like.

how to choose perfume


What kind of individuality and uniqueness may be involved in this "zombie" mass consumption goods? I am completely against such purchases, although marketing company, launched at promotion of this product deserves applause. Bravo, fellow professionals!

In no case do not chase fashion, again, even if someone was lucky, and this way he came across a fragrance that suits him in all respects, wonderfully revealed on his skin, interacting with it, it is very risky way, which eventually could lead to disappointment. All of us are quite different, and we should appreciate it! Keep your individuality, underline it, stays true to yourself, only then you will be the most confident and happy with yourself.

8. Do not use spirits that do not suit you

I and most times were not a situation where I bought a new perfume in a heartbeat used them for a while, but eventually realized that they were no longer my love. In a similar situation as many people do? Continue to dabble longer liked perfume, expecting that eventually this "obsession" will be held, it all started so well.

But it likely will not work, because really your perfume you hardly so quickly cease to please. And this just was not the right, not well understood and disclosed. Do not torture yourself and those around her bad mood, just leave it alone and go in search of the new fragrance, now, then you are more versed in this matter, is not it?

9. Indulge in the purchase of several perfumes

Despite the fact that all this time I was talking about your favorite perfume in the singular, it does not oblige you to indulge in the purchase of new flavors, when the old has not yet ended. If you feel a new hobby, absolutely justified and proven by all criteria (I mean, of course, all of these rules, which I have already said), but it is not willing to turn from the old smell, do not deny yourself the pleasure to replenish their collection! This is perfectly normal, we - women are very sensual and changeable nature, even happy that we are constantly changing mood and attitude, so no big deal to buy a few perfumes, suitable for different life situations.


For example, one suitable for everyday wear, the other blends with romantic evening images. Or one you dushites when you need a modicum of confidence and even arrogance, and the second, third and fourth, respectively, perfect for a seductive, playful, or, conversely, a serious attitude. Expand the facets of his character with marvelous and wonderful flavors that nature gives us hands of skilled "masters" perfume. Do not stay on the same smell them maybe you have a great many, and all of them will be fit perfectly!

10. Always pay attention to the details and design

To begin, I would like to touch on a topic such as the so-called types of flavoring, and you were able to understand this issue. 
Throughout this article, I called them perfume or perfume that, in general, do not say what is wrong, but still slightly generalized. Total of which there are 4-5 species, let's quickly go over their main features. The main criterion for determining the difference between one species from another - is the amount of essential oils contained in the product as a percentage. Basically, it shows how strong, clear and persistent aroma will, though they should not exclude the purely physical characteristics of the skin of each of us. The same flavor can be very resistant to one person and totally invisible and unstable on the other.

1. Perfume, perfume extract
In this type of product contains about 20-30% of essential oils, which is why it is the most expensive of all other species. Will be indicated on the packaging of such a name: perfume, perfume or extract or if it is a European product, then "Parfum", "PDT" or "Extrait".

2. Perfume
This is the most popular option in the shops of our country, and probably around the world. It is somewhat cheaper than the perfume, however, the content of essential oils in it all well enough for a decent stamina and strength of flavor - an average of 15%. On the non-Russian version will be indicated "Eau de perfume" or abbreviated as "EDP".

3. Eau de Toilette
In the toilet water collected approximately 10% of essential oils. Her resistance is much smaller than the previous two, which is logical, but many prefer it to this kind of aromatic funds because they do not like very strong odors, respecting a hint of them. The European version is presented to us as "Eau de toilette" or "EDT".

4. Cologne
The name is derived from "Eau de cologne", essential oils here from 3 to 8%. This kind of glorified flavors for a long time, he enjoyed very popular among men always. Unfortunately or fortunately, the first three species successfully outshone him his popularity. Now he is merely an echo of the past days. 
Unfortunately, many stores are sold not only the original flavors, among them exhibit a huge amount of fake so-called "versions". Often at first sight very difficult to determine the original to you or a fake , but a few tips you can still help:

how to choose perfume


1) Pay attention to exactly where you want to buy their own perfume. The shops specializing in the sale, including perfumes, should be the appropriate document confirming the legality of their actions and the quality of the supplied goods. He usually hangs around in a conspicuous place and made ​​a declaration and certificate of conformity.

2) The packaging must be in perfect condition, no cracks, creases, holes or irregularities. If you have your hands pretty box with slightly curved edges or uneven package before you fake. In addition, the wizard fakes very often avoid claims of copyright infringement, stamping version of perfume with the same title, which is replaced by one or two letters. If you decide to buy perfumes, check the packaging for any errors in the title.

3) We have already talked a little about the composition of the product, when we studied the main types of perfumes, mentioning the amount of essential oils. However, apart from that on the back of the dispenser must be very detailed composition of spirits, confirming the quality of the producer. Those who forge flavors do not really care about this point, so here you have to be very careful. 
Moreover, the majority of spirits are transparent or slightly yellowish color. If you notice a bright red or blue perfume, again pay attention to the. There should be indicated dyes, if not - then before you fake!

4) It is also a clue from the manufacturer is a stamp - a combination of numbers and letters indicating the batch number. Usually it is located either under the lid or bottom of the package or vial.

5) And, of course, judge for yourself and costs of goods sold. I can not disagree with the fact that the cost of spirits at times, and it happens that hundreds overstated the entire cost of even the most expensive perfume is about 10-15% of the final price. But do not forget about all things related: design development, packaging, marketing, promotion, delivery and so on. Do not forget that it is primarily a commodity, sell it, and it means that the main purpose of its production is still making a profit.

Of course, in Europe and even Eau extracts are much cheaper, but even there the cost is not less than 30-40 euros. Try to still acquire quality goods that somehow, but worth the money. 100 rubles for a bottle of perfume from the world famous brand - it certainly is very tempting, but it is a real fake.

6) As with any product, the spirits have their expiry date. Most often it is the year, make sure that what is stated on the package in your hands.



Finally, I suggest one more thing - if you are in doubt about whether to make the purchase of certain spirits, better not buy it. When you really feel your scent, no doubt you will not have - it's a fact. Also do not forget that the bottles come in different sizes, you can try to start the smallest of them, and after moving to a more serious volumes. So you will save yourself from spending an insane amount of money on something that in the end will not even bring you pleasure.
