When You Choose Your Webhosting

The choice of web hosting is a hard problem because there are so many offers and promotions. Specially for those persons who looks for a web site hosting for the first time the task becomes a calvary. The best decision in these cases is to consult a web hosting directory where different host companies are explained and confronted, where it's possible to read reviews of the consumers and where there are advises for all the users.

WebHostingRating.com does not limit it's task with simple listing of the companies. They have a system of the Best Web Hosting Awards very simple to understand even for less expert persons. And if you can't still decide  what is better for you after you read all the lists, there is Buying guide and Video Tutorials.

The rating and the reviews are public. Every consumer can write own opinion about the hosting he used or uses, no matter if it is positive or negative. Important is that those are reviews of really independent persons. And the WebHostingRating.com works with all the companies they present in the directory, too.

I think, it's easy to understand and clear explanation about the web hostings, and the advises for all categories of users how to make the right choice for every type of website are so simple that you will have not problems to find the right solution for your website.

New Cactuses Flower

This year I have a great fortune: some cactuses that live in my yard for many years decided to flower this year. It's very surprizing. I even thought, those do not make flowers at all. But... Look at my photos.

Кактусы Цветут

This flower is exactly so as you see it. It has petals of different quality. And this is why they seem to be painted. No, this is the natural color of the flower.

This second has nothing particular except the color of the flower. I had a very big plant like this once but it had very strange flowers -brown striped that smelled like spoiled fish.

and this flower is even beautiful

Lightened Two Times in One Minute!

This incredible video shows a blessed man who was lightened two times in one minute and SURVIVED!!! It happened in China and the videocamera of an institution registered the event. I could not believe the notice of one of my friends bloggers and watched the video different times. It's true! Watch to believe!

My friend is a doctor and he saw consequences of the lightening in his professional life. He says, persons remain without hands or feet -depends on the place the lightning goes out from the body. But the fortune of this man is a kind of miracle since he rises and continues his way.

Woman-Puppet


Cava dei Tirreni


Looking for the gastronomical feast in the not far from our home town, Cava dei Tirreni, I found an interesting exhibition. The municipality asked the local artist, Tamigi Elia to present her new works.

Elia dedicates her talent to the womenand to the place of the woman in the society, particularly. She says, the woman is similar to the dolls she plays from her first years of life with. And, growing, she becomes a puppet for other persons: her father, her husband, the society. That is why, the objects in this exposition have this special "taste". And, when I asked Elia to pose with her favourite work, she choose the puppet (that seems to me in a sense similar to the author).

You will remember that I just dedicated different posts to the same problem and this exhibition is a logical continuation of my point of view.

Cava dei Tirreni

MY favourite was this "sculpture" that I want to imitate in my house, too. You will maybe not believe but all the face of the doll is painted with... needles! Those for a  dressmaker. If you'll look carefully, you will see them on the collar.

Cava dei Tirreni

My friends like this other figure. This is the neapolitan mask, a symbol of the region created (the mask) in XVII century approssimatively and normally represented by a man-jester. The name of the mask is Pulcinella. If you will visit Naples and Campania, you will find the little pulcinella-toys everywhere.

This work represents the chanting Pulcinella-female (!) that is pregnant, too.
There are different explanations of the name of the mask in internet, but I think it's about the poor people, that were "full of fleas" of maybe that remembers the flea markets (fleas="pulci" in Italiano).

And finally Elia Tamigi and her favourite woman-puppet.

Armour of the Antique Woman Warrior

I read this discussion in one of the forums of the modern knights. The main idea was that the women had special armours with the places for breast for example. It was simple to understand that someone produces these armours and the discussion was a kind of advertising.

I was confused and wanted to explore the theme a little.
One of the first names you remember when you think about women warriors is logically Joan of Arc but I remember from the school that she was hated by many persons and persecuted exactly for her man clothes. The contemporary picture (1485) is the best prove of this idea.

The other name of the known warrior is Sighelgaita, the last longobard princess of Salerno, that partecipated as a warrior on all the battles together with her husband. Unfortunatelly, there are not pictures of this woman.

I decided to make a collection of the photos of the gravestones and monuments of the knights that are very numerous here in Campania. I discovered a new for me knights's orden in Naples (the knights have knots on the elbows). But I did not find women knights among them. So, I think, the women had not special female armours.

On my photo you can see the burial place of 2 "Knot"-knights. Splendid armours, excellent work of the artists.
