Colourful Life Of Uzbekistan

<div style="text-align: justify;">Uzbekistan officially the Republic of Uzbekistan is a doubly landlocked country in Central Asia and one of the six independent Turkic states. It shares borders with Kazakhstan to the west and to the north, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to the east, and Afghanistan and Turkmenistan to the south. Prior to 1991, it was part of the Soviet Union. Uzbekistan is an observing member of the Turkic Council.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's going to cost you 50 dollars to get to Samarkand from Tashkent (a 300-kilometer drive) by taxi, which is like nothing if compared with Moscow prices.

History Of Coca Cola Bottles

<div style="text-align: justify;">The history of Coca Cola seems to be quite jumbled by myths and facts, and in order to retell the whole story the right way, I guess we would have to go right to the source, the Coca Cola Company itself.

It's one of those images that says a million words instead of printing them in text. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The shape of the bottle means everything.

Vintage And Rare Photos Of Kuala Lumpur

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Kuala Lumpur is the capital and the second largest city in Malaysia by population. The city proper, making up an area of 243 km2 (94 sq mi), has a population of 1.4 million as of 2010. Greater Kuala Lumpur, also known as the Klang Valley, is an urban agglomeration of 7.2 million. It is the fastest growing metropolitan region in the country, in terms of population and economy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Kuala Lumpur has its origins in the 1850s, when the Malay Chief of Klang, Raja Abdullah, hired some Chinese labourers to open new and larger tin mines for tin prospectors. The miners landed at the confluence of Sungai Gombak and Sungai Klang to open mines at Ampang, Pudu and Batu. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">During the early times, Kuala Lumpur had many problems, including the Selangor Civil War; it was also plagued by diseases and constant fires and floods. Around the 1870s, the third Chinese Kapitan of Kuala Lumpur, Yap Ah Loy, emerged as leader, and became responsible for the survival and subsequent systematic growth of this town. He began to develop Kuala Lumpur from a small, obscure settlement into a booming mining town. In 1880, the state capital of Selangor was moved from Klang to the more strategically advantageous Kuala Lumpur.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Collection of photos of vintage Kuala Lumpur.</div><br><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMyM8LUT8Z9oy08qG_9oatzr25KPCtQF2pDOKkcqspp8E5AjFPTt_GYYMpgfSfgD-zazgaHmDnnKvnQSdBd_5h0a7BxhRWQdk4odsa7oXkzkr8e1ESTkQzSRHKjABl07sgCXavccrQagr4/s1600/1870s+-+Kuala+Lumpur+-+Brickfields.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMyM8LUT8Z9oy08qG_9oatzr25KPCtQF2pDOKkcqspp8E5AjFPTt_GYYMpgfSfgD-zazgaHmDnnKvnQSdBd_5h0a7BxhRWQdk4odsa7oXkzkr8e1ESTkQzSRHKjABl07sgCXavccrQagr4/s640/1870s+-+Kuala+Lumpur+-+Brickfields.jpg" width="640"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>1870s - Kuala Lumpur - Brickfields</i></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9t1zNw1sKg3DUjMFDTHjAJu3HDW75TE156mnTHkBqkFOxp78eRwZwVWQW__K_DHEIqYOTqQIFzZqnJ36LzNmgnFckAQwdMYEkPkeGXyMj0fhYp9g2Cr2HAmXrcDtIPO20ngXjt8T_7q-3/s1600/1880s+-+Kuala+Lumpur+-+Bukit+Nanas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="508" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9t1zNw1sKg3DUjMFDTHjAJu3HDW75TE156mnTHkBqkFOxp78eRwZwVWQW__K_DHEIqYOTqQIFzZqnJ36LzNmgnFckAQwdMYEkPkeGXyMj0fhYp9g2Cr2HAmXrcDtIPO20ngXjt8T_7q-3/s640/1880s+-+Kuala+Lumpur+-+Bukit+Nanas.jpg" width="640"></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>1880s - Kuala Lumpur - Bukit Nanas</i></td></tr></tbody></table><a href="http://aibob.blogspot.com/2011/10/vintage-and-rare-photos-of-kuala-lumpur.html#more">Click to read more »</a>

Why We Work 8 Hours Daily?

<div style="text-align: justify;">During the Industrial Revolution, companies attempted to maximize the output of their factories by keeping them running as many hours as possible, typically implementing <i>a sun up to sun down</i> work day. The typical work day at this time lasted anywhere from 10-18 hours per day, six days a week.

They were called trailers because the advertisements would be spliced directly on the end of the reels, so that the movie advertisement's film trailed the actual film.<br /><br />The first known movie trailer to appear in a theater was in November of 1913. However, it didn't take long for movie studios to realize that full film advertisements would be a lot more effective if they showed up before the movie, instead of after, and by the end of the 1930s the switch had been made.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tikthjwNUBw?hd=1" width="640"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Source <a href="http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2011/08/why-short-movie-advertisement-clips-are-called-trailers/">Today I Found Out</a></div>

Evolution Of Cheerleaders

<div style="text-align: justify;">The evolution of cheerleading from the early days of a male-dominated cheering section, 1950s innocent pom-poms and modest sweaters to eye-sizzling barely-there, skin-revealing outfits.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cheerleading can be traced back to the late 19th century United States, when crowds started chanting encouragement to home teams. Credit for organizing the first cheers comes courtesy of University of Minnesota student Johnny Campbell, who encouraged students to chant: <i>Rah, rah, rah! Sku-u-mar, Hoo-rah! Hoo-rah! Varsity! Varsity! Varsity, Minn-e-so-ta!</i> during the 1898 season. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cheerleading was an all-male domain for decades and it wasn't until the 1920s that women started to join the ranks.

Rare Photos Of Nicholas II And Family

Nicholas II (18 May 1868 – 17 July 1918) was the last Emperor of Russia, Grand Prince of Finland, and titular King of Poland. His official title was Nicholas II, Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russia and he is known as Saint Nicholas the Passion-Bearer by the Russian Orthodox Church.<br><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nicholas II ruled from 1894 until his abdication on 15 March 1917. His reign saw Imperial Russia go from being one of the foremost great powers of the world to economic and military collapse. Critics nicknamed him Bloody Nicholas because of the Khodynka Tragedy, Bloody Sunday, the anti-Semitic pogroms, his execution of political opponents, and his pursuit of military campaigns on a hitherto unprecedented scale. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Under his rule, Russia was defeated in the Russo-Japanese War, including the almost total annihilation of the Russian fleet at the Battle of Tsushima. As head of state, he approved the Russian mobilization of August 1914, which marked the first fatal step into World War I, a war in which 3.3 million Russians would be killed, thus leading to the demise of the Romanov dynasty less than three years later.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nicholas II abdicated following the February Revolution of 1917 during which he and his family were imprisoned first in the Alexander Palace at Tsarskoye Selo, then later in the Governor's Mansion in Tobolsk, and finally at the Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nicholas II, his wife, his son, his four daughters, the family's medical doctor, the Tsar's valet, the Empress' lady-in-waiting, and the family's cook were murdered in the same room by the Bolsheviks on the night of 16/17 July 1918. This led to the canonization of Nicholas II, his wife the Empress and their children as martyrs by various groups tied to the Russian Orthodox Church within Russia and, prominently, outside Russia.</div><br><div style="text-align: justify;">Here is a set of unique are rare photos of the Tsar family from the archive of Anna Vyrubova.</div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpQ5Iy4qK_TFEJrxIcHA7-z8hg8Ii5njW0VBn59xbGhKsfMImo8zMjkOMbsMM2t5PNKDjaOMRSaNsc02apqz1Xs2eYKbwB8UQd6PMaRsp2-XeibcqlOlEh0oQD6QgdoEKBOlbdS2SV9wg/s1600/Romanov-Family-Rare-001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpQ5Iy4qK_TFEJrxIcHA7-z8hg8Ii5njW0VBn59xbGhKsfMImo8zMjkOMbsMM2t5PNKDjaOMRSaNsc02apqz1Xs2eYKbwB8UQd6PMaRsp2-XeibcqlOlEh0oQD6QgdoEKBOlbdS2SV9wg/s640/Romanov-Family-Rare-001.jpg" width="638"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUR0zHj3glM7Nj9pXmJz9siSkVR5-PdySHxBTxCdUpEnxlhD4CALQTqmfoG2aIOAi9Sb4MwW-AusiyOMCKuOxvUOSh6JZzuXZoDPLi4fc3GEG2D7u8j6v9GiwqGpOYhGibptF2vc_uDsM/s1600/Romanov-Family-Rare-002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUR0zHj3glM7Nj9pXmJz9siSkVR5-PdySHxBTxCdUpEnxlhD4CALQTqmfoG2aIOAi9Sb4MwW-AusiyOMCKuOxvUOSh6JZzuXZoDPLi4fc3GEG2D7u8j6v9GiwqGpOYhGibptF2vc_uDsM/s640/Romanov-Family-Rare-002.jpg" width="626"></a></div><br><a href="http://aibob.blogspot.com/2011/09/ramonov.html#more">Click to read more »</a>

Celebrity Prom Photos

<div style="text-align: justify;">In the United States and Canada, a prom, short for promenade, is a formal (black tie) dance, or gathering of high school students. It is typically held near the end of the senior year. It figures greatly in popular culture and is a major event among high school students. High school juniors attending the prom may call it Junior Prom while high school seniors may call it Senior Prom. In practice this may be a combined junior/senior dance.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">At prom, a Prom Queen and Prom King may be revealed. These are honorary titles awarded to students chosen in a school-wide vote prior to the prom, and are usually given to seniors. Juniors may also be honored, but would be called Prom Prince or Prom Princess. Other students may be honored with inclusion in a Prom Court. Inclusion in a Prom Court is a reflection of popularity of those chosen and their level of participation in school activities, such as clubs or sports.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The British synonym for the North American event would be Leavers' Ball, Leavers' Dinner, Formal or, informally, Leavers' Do. In Canada, Ireland, and Australia the terms Grad or Formal are most commonly used and the event is usually held for those graduating high school or middle school. In Ireland, the event is also known as the Debs, which is derived from Debutante.</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><i><br></i></span><br><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilKd_Rv1kBX5HA1N_230hgGqhTyDBQDEZ63y53A-BRNM1YoC2W3tXHL8upxeijG6nkYR9fUgcHktKmGXjWOByfMamWuCDHPXfbljy8CD8L7a5VmPRnVW7EiTDQ2FObYaIEHSPJxrcXHkJo/s1600/4b9f9da50cf2f358abdcd4a4321104f9_L.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><i><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilKd_Rv1kBX5HA1N_230hgGqhTyDBQDEZ63y53A-BRNM1YoC2W3tXHL8upxeijG6nkYR9fUgcHktKmGXjWOByfMamWuCDHPXfbljy8CD8L7a5VmPRnVW7EiTDQ2FObYaIEHSPJxrcXHkJo/s640/4b9f9da50cf2f358abdcd4a4321104f9_L.jpg" width="450"></i></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><i>Brad Pitt</i></span></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQG_FvBGbFuVTlKSjfFbWglybpJUCJaOqwmwRzoHudXxQWpKLcDQgXZNWj3V4hn9Jx77KzlElOQkOqFpSchpV4wHGlUtFDPOItFwGiKhtvGkLUzl4_niHqT5JXfWuTMIod3nqtkWJxlxmZ/s1600/jennifer+aniston+prom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><i><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQG_FvBGbFuVTlKSjfFbWglybpJUCJaOqwmwRzoHudXxQWpKLcDQgXZNWj3V4hn9Jx77KzlElOQkOqFpSchpV4wHGlUtFDPOItFwGiKhtvGkLUzl4_niHqT5JXfWuTMIod3nqtkWJxlxmZ/s640/jennifer+aniston+prom.jpg" width="450"></i></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><strong style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><i>Jennifer Aniston</i></span></strong></span></td></tr></tbody></table><a href="http://aibob.blogspot.com/2011/08/celebrity-prom-photos.html#more">Click to read more »</a>
