Unseen World War II Photos

Posted by admin On July - 10 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

World War II photos taken in the former USSR during World War II on the occupied territories. These are photos from family archives posted online by grandchildren of those who took part in the war: the authors of most of them remain unknown. Some of the photos belong to the Soviet journalists: Dmitri Baltermants and Vladimir Lupejko. The photographs are cruel and shocking, but they should teach us about life and how precious it is. We are all equals during our short life on this planet and all nations should embrace others and cease all conflicts. For the better future of our children, may the history never repeat itself.

Posted by admin On January - 29 - 2010 Comments Off

Have you ever wondered how those sweet, tasty chocolates are produced? Then see it yourself here.

Chocolates are never new to our world, and people in the history even used it to make beverages from it. The Cacao Tree, whose Latin name is “Theobroma Cacao” or some also call it as God’s Food is mainly found in Central American rain forests. The atmosphere there with heavy rain fall, high temperature and humidity always proved to the best for this plant.

The Van Houten process, which was invented by a Dutch family, includes a method for extracting the “cocoa fat” from ground cocoa beans made it possible to produce less bitter tasting Cocoa Powder from Cocoa beans.

Most of the method used today to make chocolates, use the same old method with some or less added modifications.

Below series of images, very well narrates the same procedure for making the chocolates.
