Palmistry
Palmistry is the art of telling the future from the lines on the palms of your hands. The lines are unique to each person and are said to show person's character and what will happen in future. Palmistry began in India thousands of years ago as a form of counselling.
The heart, head and life lines are especially important. They are judged by their length and strength. The life line shows how healthy you are and how much you enjoy life. The head line shows how intelligent you are, and the heart line reveals the physical condition of the heart, as well as persons sexual and emotional nature.
Mysterious Places
The Nazca Lines:
The Nazca Lines are enormous drawings on the ground (called geoplyphs) that stretch across the Nazca Desert in the southern Peru.They show more than 300 geometric patterns, spirals and animals.The lines are so vast that they can only be seen properly from a height of about 300 m. Most experts agree that they were made by the Nazca Indians who lived in the region between 300 BC and AD 800, but there are many questions yet to be answered about them. For example, why were the pictures made and how are they so precise if their makers had no means to view them from sky?
The Bermuda Triangle
The Bermuda Triangle is an area of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida. It is famous for being the supposed site of many disappearances.The points of the Triangle are Miami, Bermuda and San Juan in Puerto Rico. In the 15th century, Christopher Columbus claimed to have seen a "great flame of fire" falling into the ocean in the area. The Bermuda Triangle first began to attract attention in 1945, when Flight 19, a training mission of five US bombers, vanished off the Florida Coast.The plane that was sent to find them also disappeared, and around 100 boats and aircrafts have been lost there. Explanations include magnetic fields, sea monsters and abduction by aliens, but most experts agree the disappearances are due to bad navigation and/or extreme weather conditions.

NUMISMATICS
The term numismatist applies to collectors and coin dealers as well as scholars using coins as source or studying coins.
Modern numismatics is the study of the coins of the mid 17th to the 21st century, the period of machine struck coins. Their study serves more the need of collectors than historians and it is more often successfully pursued by amateur aficionados than by professional scholars. The focus of modern numismatics lies frequently in the research of production and use of money in historical contexts using mint or other records in order to determine the relative rarity of the coins they study. Varieties, mint-made errors, the results of progressive die wear, mintage figures and even the socio-political context of coin mintings are also matters of interest.

As we walk our path of life,
We meet people everyday.
Most are simply met by chance.
But, some are sent our way.
These become special friends
Whose bond we can't explain;
The ones who understand us
And share our joy and pain.
Their love contains no boundaries.
So, even we are apart.
Their presence enhances us
With a warmth felt in the heart.
This love becomes a passageway,
When even the miles disappear.
And so, these friends, God sends our way,
Remain forever near.
I had a box of crayons,
All shiny, straight and new.
I lent a friend one crayon,
And--oops--it broke in two!
My friend said he was sorry,
But I said "I don't care,
'cause now we both can color
with one crayon--we can share!"
