Purple flagggs

 No country's flags have purple in them, thought history there was no purple in flags.

For one reason only, it was expensive, up to the 1800s purple had a weight in gold.

It is used by Royalty, and it meant Royal wealth, Queen Elizabeth the first prohibited anyone other than the British royal family from wearing purple, the status of the color came from its rarity.

The purple came from a place called near the Meditteranean sea Tyre, now modern-day Lebanon, traders found the dye from sea snails around Tyre named Tyree purple. The amount of effort was staggering, as it needed 10,000 purple sea snails just to get one gram of the dye.

As it was expensive and was only used and bought by royalty, it came synonymous with Rome, Egypt, and Persia.

The emperor Aurelion did not allow his wife to buy a head scarf made of purple Tyree, one pound of it cost around three pounds of gold or 51,000 USD in today's money.

A century later, in 1856, an 18-year-old scientist named Henry Perkin, accidentally made a synthetic purple while trying to make an anti-malaria medicine, so he patent the dye and became rich.

After it became affordable to the public, the status of the elite from the color purple, and some newer country flags use purple in their flags.

Purple the color that is now everywhere.

Wrinkles

Why do our wrinkles look like raisins?

Well, scientists thought that it was some kind of osmosis, but it did not happen if the patient had nerve damage.

One patent was a boy with nerve damage in three of his fingers, and he could not feel anything from those and felt numb, and when they put his hand in the water, it was only the fingers that he could feel from got wrinkles. The numb ones did not have wrinkles, but the normal ones did.

It is actually the nervous system's response to extended contact with moisture, the nervous system actually constricts the blood vessels and that constriction is the reason why your fingers have risen.

Biologists think that it may be because of evolution. One theory says "maybe because of better grip underwater". How they tested this is scientists took two groups of wrinkly and non-wrinkly fingers,  and they were requested to both groups to pick up a smooth object, wet marbles and dry marbles, and they found out that the group that had wrinkly fingers picked up their wet marbles 12% faster, but the dry marbles around the same time.

Go swimming and have wrinkly fingers. 

Iraq

Most people think that Iraq is war, war, and oh wait, oh yeah, more war. You can still fly into Iraq and visit, it is recommended to stay in the largest cities because they are the safest.

In the history of Iraq, they were rich and were the center of science and mathematics for a time, but then the 20th century.

The Shamal nor the northwest wind, it sweeps through Iraq and it makes the worst dust and sandstorms in the Mediterranean.

Almost 100% of exports were oil (being the 3rd largest oil reserve on earth), it did make them rich (for a time).

The population of 41 million people.

And the Iraqi Dinar as their currency.

 The is Capital Bagdad, the second largest city after Cairo in Egypt.



Plaster / Bandaid

You know it you love it (or hate it) bandaids.

It is useful when you hit the ground or pavement and have a wound that needs covering, band-aids are useful.

The band-aid was made in 1920 by a Johnson and Johnson employee Earle Dickson, regularly his wife Josephine, burned and cut herself while cooking.

Using adhesives he was able to make a prototype. The prototype that Dickson made was used by his wife to put on the burns and cuts. 

Dickson gave the idea to his employer before he retired.

By 1924 Johnson and Johnson made Machine made band-aids, and sterilized band-aids by 1939, only in 1951 they added designs of popular brands, like Micky mouse, Marvel, and DC.

In WW2 millions of band-aids were requested and used, Johnson and Johnson said that they have oversold 100 million band-aids worldwide, (yeah they helped in WW2).

So when you have a wound or a cut or burn, it has been a vital piece of everyday use.


Minhaj al Muslim By Sh Tariq Appleby pt: 5

 Killing people is bad (that's a general consensus) and would definitely count as a sin but in self-defense or someone breaking into your house and you defend yourself and the result that is that the aggressor killed then it is not a sin.

It is a big sin to kill another believer.

Blood Money is what is money given by the family of the murderer as compensation for the murder to the victim's family (it is not the person back from the dead but it is compensation nonetheless).

Intentional Murder

Murder with the intention of killing, meaning you are killing that person with items such as weapons or with poisons, etc. It is all bad.

You cannot kill a pregnant mother you have to wait for the baby to be born and then when the baby is born, and then the mother will be killed.

If you want to kill someone or execute someone, you should not cause excessive pain to the victim of the execution, it should be quick and as painless as possible, as decapitation is the main form of killing as it is instantaneous.


We want to hurt that person but no intention is not murder

you are not sinful but it is recommended to give blood money.


Murder by Mistake

If you kill someone in a car accident, or you drop something on someone's head and kill them it is not your fault, or a knife gets loose and it hits a person and they die you are also not at fault as it was a mistake, or if you are hunting with guns and a person walks in front of a shotgun slug then it is not your fault either. (It is recommended to pay blood money though).

Retaliation


Retaliation is when you, yourself retaliate against the murderer.
First, you need to know that the murderer is of sound mind (meaning being sane), a child before puberty, and a sleeping person. Those are the types of people you cannot retaliate to. You also cannot kill your children.

If you want blood money, you cannot retaliate. You cannot kill anyone else in retaliation other than the murderer. 

Retribution

If you chop off someone's finger, then when you are caught your finger would be chopped off. if that was used, it would be very bad, even Saudi Arabia doesn't follow this specific law because it is too cruel. f you chop off someone's finger, then when you are caught your finger would be chopped off. if that was used, it would be very bad, even Saudi Arabia doesn't follow this specific law because it is too cruel. 

If the person who chopped off the finger then you must chop yours off, but if it difficult to replicate the problem says a concussion it is hard to replicate so you don't have to do that.

The History of Doors

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door Source

You know what this is, how to use it, everybody knows it. Doors.

Doors such as house doors and gates (which are a type of door), use locks, as a way to deter people from entering or accessing the areas blocked by a said door. Pivoting off a metal hinge, the door in question could rotate up (such as the Tesla Cars from Tesla) or to the side. 

As doors were a major part of history, it was a greatly used piece of literature as it meant Methopraical meaning for change. And doors have a variety of aestheticsymbolic, and ritualistic meanings. 

Now the history

The earliest telling of doors is that it was mentioned in Egyptian tombs, generally shown as double or singular doors.

As most of the ancient doors were made from timber wood. The Romans and the Greeks used different kinds of doors, singular doors, double doors, or even triple doors.

As we are coming to the modern era, we still have the "doors of old" meaning doors from centuries ago, and they are still used today and used in places of worship in Religious buildings and old structures built long ago.

As we are coming to the modern era, we now use automatic doors often.

If you walk through one, maybe as an entry to a long hall, but as a gateway to a multitude of possibilities, but hey, we all gotta walk through one eventually.
