After the storms, rail traffic in the south of Baden-Württemberg was severely impaired, and on this Thursday evening between Basel and Freiburg im Breisgau it even came to a complete standstill. Trees fell on the tracks and the wind caused damage to electrical installations. In addition, several roads are impassable in the Lörrach area. The Freiburg im Breisgau fire brigade is also on duty because of falling trees in the city.

A phenomenon called “Storm Lambert”

Baden-Württemberg was on Thursday evening in the highest storm alarm. The weather services expected extremely violent phenomena. Authorities have urged residents to avoid driving, protect their vehicles and secure anything that might fly away. Public events such as concerts or markets have been cancelled. In some cities, firefighters have positioned vehicles in strategic locations. Deutsche Bahn expected massive disruptions and recommended travelers to postpone their journey. The validity of tickets purchased for this Thursday has been extended by two days.
This phenomenon was christened “Storm Lambert” by the German Weather Service. The storm has already caused major damage in Rhineland-Palatinate.

A 74-year-old woman never expected that a walk on the beach could turn me into something incredible.

In Palmachimun, in southern Israel, on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, an Israeli woman – against her will – made an incredible discovery. In fact, the 74-year-old saw a sandstone on the shore, which revealed a relief figure when it rolled. He therefore decided to collect the strange object and clearly contact the archaeologists of the IAA, whose acronym stands for Israel’s State Antiquities Agency.

However, while stating the facts, the lady revealed some points, details that should better explain the dynamics of the facts; In fact, he stated that the waves are high, the weather is wintry and the sea is particularly rough. But as he walked along the sea, he made a incredible discovery: “It came my way”.

Go for a walk on the beach and find a unique object

The lady’s find was totally unexpected, but after the local authorities were notified, the archaeologists are there too and what came out is incredible; an accessory that most likely dates back to 3000 years ago (if not older) since it belongs to itto the Egyptian goddess Hathor.

For those who don’t know Hathor or Ator is an Egyptian deity belonging to the archaic religion of Egypt. Not only was she considered a female deity, but she also offered support to women themselves; She was conceived as the goddess of joy, love, motherhood and beauty. As a lady of the west, she also greeted the souls of the dead. If you still haven’t found a link, we can say that in some respects it is reminiscent of the Christian cult of the Madonna.

In short, the news immediately went around the world and amazed us all. If the woman in question felt this stone coming toward her, could it be a message that needed to be sent? There are many theories we can come up with, but we just need to understand how the local authorities will proceed. Are there any other stones like this? It is not known yet, but it would be so absolutely adorable.

Paris, June 22 (EFE). – The President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, vowed today that he will “be very tough on anyone who cuts down a tree in the Amazon,” and gave himself until 2030 to completely end deforestation in the Amazon, which is considered plant-based lungs of the planet.

“We will be very tough on anyone who cuts down a tree to plant soybeans, corn or grass,” said Lula, speaking in Paris before the big environmental concert organized by the NGO Global Citizen, where they perform for free. Lenny Kravitz, Billie Eilish and HER

The Brazilian President stressed that the Amazon “is a sovereign territory of Brazil, but at the same time belongs to all of humanity”. “Therefore,” he added, “we will do whatever is necessary to keep the forest alive.”

Listing all the benefits of the Amazon, the Brazilian President recalled that Brazil is made up of 87% renewable sources, compared to the world average of 27%.

“I want you all to come to Brazil in 2025 when we celebrate COP 30 in the state of Amazonas, and I also want you to talk about the Amazon as the lungs of the world,” he said.

Lula, who is attending the summit in Paris on a new global financial pact to combine development aid and environmental protection, criticized Western countries.

“It wasn’t Africa or Latin America that polluted the planet in the last 200 years, it was they that made the industrial revolution and therefore they have to pay this historic debt to planet earth.” EFE

After Arthur Loibl, another former passenger of the now desperately sought “Titan” reports – and names a new, possible catastrophe.

Former “Titan” diver Arthur Loibl described the tragedy of the “Titan” capsule with five occupants, which disappeared during a dive on the “Titanic”, as “absolutely cruel”. Now, another occupant of the “Titan”, missing since Sunday, informs about “ORF III aktuell” which, according to calculations, ran out of oxygen on Thursday afternoon. Andreas Waibel is a researcher at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and was also on board the “Titan” in 2022. At the end of the 96 hours that the capsule had oxygen on board, he says: “Of course, hope is decreasing by the minute”.

“Absolutely cruel” – diver “Titan” is stunned

“It makes us very sad, it moves us a lot”, says Waibel, who, like Loibl, knows two of the inmates personally and describes them as good friends. “It is a tragedy that is happening in front of you”, says the researcher. Everyone who goes on a dive trip “is aware of the risks”, says Waibel, the company did not act recklessly and there were numerous safety precautions, they say. But: At a depth of 4,000 meters there are 400 times the pressure compared to the surface of the sea, it is an extreme situation. “The boat has to withstand incredible pressure.”

“The catastrophic event could have occurred that the whole boat broke or collapsed under the enormous pressure”

In addition, you cannot transmit in such depth, but only exchange text messages, according to the expert. As a computer scientist, he tried to fix just that aboard the “Titan” in 2022 to invent a system that would allow voice and video communication. It also worked – in the current case, text was used, so it is not known how the passengers are doing and where the boat is. While observers assume the “Titan” is floating on the sea surface or lying on the sea floor, Waibel has another variant.

Time limit expired – this is how underwater search works now

“The catastrophic event could have occurred when the entire boat broke or buckled under the enormous pressure. That’s always a possibility at these great depths,” says Waibel. A “catastrophic electrical failure” that crippled the boat is also possible. During this expedition, you are usually “seven to nine days in the Atlantic”, with the waves being closely observed. Then there’s extensive pre-dive testing, it’s usually “thoroughly prepared” and a rescue team is ready.

“Inside the submersible, it’s like a small minivan that you can’t stand up in”

According to the researcher, the rescue team also needs it to get out of the capsule, the entrance has to be unscrewed, because only screwed in can it withstand the pressure. The problem with that: even if the hermetically sealed capsule floated to the surface, it would run out of oxygen, “a tragic scenario in this situation”. The capsule’s interior is “like a little minivan you can’t stand up in” – there’s a viewing hatch on one side and a screen on the other that shows the image from an external camera.

New video shows the failure of the “Titanic” mission

As you know the other passengers from the previous cruise very well, the mood is really “jovial, relaxed”, not depressing. In this case, and if a “catastrophic breakdown” really has occurred, the only consolation is: “Then it would be quick, under this pressure you would really lose your life immediately.” Postscript: The statement was “rather morbid” and “I hope you don’t blame me”, but that’s the way it is. Of course, do not count on this case. “Accidents happen everywhere, even on planes, by the way,” says Waibel.

Red, white and blue: the colors of the barber poles

Whether experienced hairdressers who have known their clients since childhood or talented young people who are just starting their careers, all hair salons have one thing in common: the colors red, white and blue.

Whether you are in a modern barbershop, where reggaeton and hip hop are played all day, or in a classic barbershop, where the music of Agustín Lara, Roberto Carlos and Pedro Infante is preferred, these colors are present. Red, green and blue colors can be found on walls, chairs and even barber poles.

But where does this tradition come from?

According to information from BARBERAPP Your Barbershop’s APP and Pivot Point, specialists in beauty, fashion and haircuts, the use of barber bars dates back to the Middle Ages. At that time, hairdressers not only took care of the hair, but also performed minor operations, such as pulling teeth. These poles were used to dry bloody cloths after operations.

Barbers traveled from town to town offering their services. Customers recognized them by the rails from which they hung bloodstained towels. According to beauty experts, the barbershop pole is the stick that customers had to hold to draw blood from their veins before an operation.

Colors and their symbology

Red symbolizes the blood shed by patients, white represents the bandages used to staunch the bleeding, and blue symbolizes the severed veins. The color blue is believed to have been introduced to hair salons in the US, UK and France as a patriotic gesture in reference to the colors of their respective flags.

Now that you know the meaning of these colors, enjoy your next visit to the hairdresser and admire the poles that tell the story of this ancient profession. Embrace tradition and know that taking care of your appearance has deep historical roots.
