How was born the biggest cinema company in Hong Kong? It all started a long, very long time ago. The Shaw (aka Shao) family started to deal with cinema in the middle of the 1920s. It was a very enterprising family with four sons established in the area of Shanghai. The older son decided to invest money in production and founded the "Tiany Film Company" with his brothers in 1925. ( ...Collapse )

I am so amazed by the risks and complications of surgery. Wether it is weigh loss surgery, breast surgery, face surgery... it is freaky in every possible way. Not only it can make you look like an alien if it fails, but also can make your health in serious troubles. It only happens for 10 % of people who go through it, but we all know the "this won't happen to me" shit right?

( we all know that this is the worst case of abused surgeryCollapse )

New age mysticism became quite of a trend these days and it is quite hard to determine what is true and serious in the ocean of bullshit we hear everyday. Out from curiosity, I have been quite interested into shaman-ism and hallucinatory experiences in South America. I remember reading fictional stories about it and it drove me in such a fascinated mood that i wanted to get more information about the matter (so years later i have finally done it). I don't know if it's relevant to the community but here i am to share it.

Some people are already familiar with my innocent fascination with Hebrew. I'm strongly interested in symbols and connections between thinking and language.
Hebrew has originally 22 letters, no vowels (which are determined by eventual diactritic marks, but I don't want to write about it now).
Generally I don't exalt any alphabet, but this one is really interesting and inspiring. I don't know what was primal but Hebrew is really excellently adapted to all esoteric "sciences". Number of letters just as number of tarot major arcanas etc..

For me it's almost breathtaking that whole symbolic system can be included in one alphabet, one language in such clear, logical way. Language - mandala.
Ok, maybe I'm inclined to be "spiritual linguist"...

Putting aside biblical tradition and sci-fi theories I will have to look for ideas what Babel tower was about.. But I'd rather believe to archaeologists and historians.
It's also quite amazing that we use letters from Latin alphabet and numbers from Arabic...
