Battle of Balikpapan (1945)

Battle of Balikpapan (1945) The  Battle of Balikpapan  was the concluding stage of Operation Oboe, the campaign to liberate Japanese-held British and Dutch Borneo. The landings took place on 1 July 1945. The Australian 7th Division, composed of the 18th, 21st and 25th Infantry Brigades, with a small number of Netherlands East Indies KNIL troops, made an amphibious landing, codenamed  Operation Oboe Two , a few miles north of Balikpapan.

S*X AND FEELINGS

S*X AND FEELINGS A man can have s*x with a lady and still don't have any feelings for her, most men only need space to have s*x but majority of women need reason to have s*x. 90% of woman cannot have s*x without feelings, A man can travel for eight hours just to have s*x with a female and yet, not love her or even have any feelings for her.    S*x makes men act as if they are in love while they are not!! What they feel is lust, what they feel is what they see which is curves and a huge behind, go through a lady's silky skin thigh for a 5 minutes or less, ejac*late and forget. The eight hours travel sacrifice, gifts bought, hotel paid for and other expenses may seem to be coming from true love but they were all in the sacrifice for s*x and nothing more. The foolish thing is this, the majority of women would jump up inside them and conclude that this is the art of true love. So many woman are bought and blinded by materialistic things, yet miss the small little gestures that mon...

Breastfeed by her daughter due to starvation

Breastfeed by her daughter due to starvation What do you think of when you see this statue? We see an old man drinking breast milk, which seems unacceptable to the world.  In fact, the old man was wrongly imprisoned and was not allowed to eat or drink. His daughter came to visit him every day. The daughter fed her father with her own breast milk for a month.  After a month, the father's face was ruddy, which showed filial piety. So what would such a story look like in today's era? Is it that human thoughts have become dirty or this era has become sick?

18 COSTLY MISTAKES THAT HUSBANDS MAKE

18 COSTLY MISTAKES THAT HUSBANDS MAKE 1. WORKING SO HARD AT YOUR JOB/BUSINESS BUT NOT IN YOUR MARRIAGE Men, your company, your career, and your business are growing and flourishing because you lead them; your marriage will grow and flourish when you lead it and dedicate time to it. 2. THINKING THAT FLIRTING WITH OTHER WOMEN IS NOT CHEATING You may not physically sleep with other women, but emotionally cheating is also unfaithfulness. Receiving nude images and having phone intimacy with other women is also cheating. Talking suggestively and attracting temptations is also cheating. If you are a flirt, flirt with your wife. If you claim your wife is too rigid, treat her well, and she will respond to your kinky ways. She also wants intimate pleasure and to feel wanted. 3. BEING GENEROUS OUTSIDE AND STINGY AT HOME Don't be the husband who quickly says yes when other people ask for help, for your time and your money, but stingy to your wife and child/children. Your family comes first. Do...

Bob Marley was once asked if there was a perfect woman. He replied: Who cares about perfection?

Bob Marley was once asked if there was a perfect woman. He replied: Who cares about perfection? Even the moon is not perfect, it is full of craters. The sea is incredibly beautiful, but salty and dark in the depths. The sky is always infinite, but often cloudy. So, everything that is beautiful isn't perfect, it's special. Therefore, every woman can be special to someone. Stop being "perfect", but try to be free and live, doing what you love, not wanting to impress others!

Before refrigerators existed, people would preserve products that needed to be kept cold, such as milk, by putting frogs in them.

Before refrigerators existed, people would preserve products that needed to be kept cold, such as milk, by putting frogs in them. In the past, each community had its own method of preservation. The ancient Russian and Finnish communities found a magnificent and very clever solution to this milk preservation: Throwing brown frogs called 'Rana temporaria' into milk... A scientific study conducted in 2013 proved that this method worked.  It was revealed that proteins such as Brevinin 1Tb synthesized from the skins of frogs (and other amphibians) restricted the life of some bacteria.  Thus, the Russians and Finns discovered, albeit through trial and error, that they could fight bacteria by adding proteins produced from the skins of frogs to their milk.

Did you know that if you have a pacemaker, you can include it in your Will to be donated to a dog in need after you pass away?

Did you know that if you have a pacemaker, you can include it in your Will to be donated to a dog in need after you pass away? Although pacemakers cannot be used for another human, they can help dogs with heart problems and potentially save their lives. You can arrange for the pacemaker to be sent to a vet of your choice. Many pacemakers are simply thrown away, and dogs may die because people do not know about this option. Donating the pacemaker can even save the dog's owner the cost of a new one, which can sometimes make a crucial difference in affording life-saving treatment.   Credit goes to respective owner ✅

Alexandre Cabanel was 24-years-old when he painted L’Ange Dechu (The Fallen Angel) in 1847 as an academic oil on canvas painting.

Alexandre Cabanel was 24-years-old when he painted L’Ange Dechu (The Fallen Angel) in 1847 as an academic oil on canvas painting. It is currently stored at the Musée Fabre in France. The Fallen Angel is perhaps one of the most popular works of art ever created. Behind flexed arms, a winged nude hides his face. His brows arch over red-rimmed eyes and a tear of rage as his mane of hair breaks in the wind. Of course, his physique is flawless. Although his posture seems relaxed, each muscle is tensed and ready to fire. This is the last moment before he is cast out of paradise. An angel who has fallen from grace and has been banished by God. Cabanel’s inspiration for this work was John Milton’ epic poem, Paradise Lost (1667) and fallen angels: Moloch, Belial, Mulciber, Mammon and Beelzebub. The last of whom is Beelzebub, better known today as Lucifer.

THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE

By JENN ADAMS THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE is ostensibly a story about death. André Øvredal’s terrifying film follows Austin (Emile Hirsch) and Tommy (Brian Cox), a father-son team of coroners tasked with examining a body found partially buried beneath a brutal crime scene. They dub the anonymous woman Jane Doe (Olwen Catherine Kelly) and lay her naked corpse on their examining table for the invasive procedure. As they cut into her flesh, they discover that Jane Doe is much more than a cadaver.  She is a centuries-old witch created by viscous torture who has been lying dormant in the earth since her execution during the Salem Witch Trials. With each layer Tommy and Austin peel away from her bones, they awaken her powers. Rather than discover and report her tragic story, they inadvertently awaken a powerful witch hellbent on reclaiming her own autonomy.  Tommy and Austin are dedicated coroners who take pride in their objectivity. After decades of experience uncovering the secrets of...

Pearly Queen and Pearly Prince, London, 1926-1927. Cockney 'Pearly kings' (originally costermongers - fruit and vegetable sellers), wore suits covered in mother-of-pearl buttons.

Pearly Queen and Pearly Prince, London, 1926-1927. Cockney 'Pearly kings' (originally costermongers - fruit and vegetable sellers), wore suits covered in mother-of-pearl buttons. In 1926-1927, the Pearly Queen and Pearly Prince in London were part of the distinctive Cockney tradition of the Pearly Kings and Queens. Originating from costermongers (fruit and vegetable sellers), these community figures wore elaborate suits adorned with hundreds of mother-of-pearl buttons. This unique tradition began in the late 19th century, when Henry Croft, an orphan street sweeper, started decorating his clothes with pearl buttons to draw attention while raising money for charity. The Pearly Kings and Queens quickly became a symbol of charitable work and community spirit in London's East End, with each borough having its own Pearly King and Queen. Their outfits, painstakingly sewn with intricate patterns of pearl buttons, became a visual representation of Cockney pride and philanthropy, sho...

Witchcraft executions.

Witchcraft executions. England and Wales. Writing in 2018, some 400 years later, it is hard to take some of the accusations made against, usually defenceless, poor, elderly women, seriously.  I do not therefore propose to offer any judgement about the validity or fairness of the trials or as to why certain areas of the country, particularly Essex and East Anglia had so many more of them than other areas.  People in the 16th and 17th centuries did believe in witchcraft and this belief certainly continued into the 19th century.  Many thought that Mary Bateman, the “Yorkshire Witch” would be able to save herself from the gallows at York in 1809.  The people of Leeds had not wished to report her criminal activities to the authorities in case she put a spell on them.  I photographed Mary’s skeleton in 2007, which was on display at the Thackray Medical Museum in Leeds.  Witchcraft was certainly a convenient scapegoat for unexplained illness and sudden deaths amon...

Your family doesn't know how much difficulties and pressure you go through in your daily life or in your job

- Your family doesn't know how much difficulties and pressure you go through in your daily life or in your job.  - And your work doesn't know the circumstances of your life and your home.  - Your colleagues, your friends, and loved ones will not understand the size of the new and old responsibilities that are above you.  - And your partner is always expecting unconditional love and support from you, he/she wont understand the amount of pressure you go through no matter how much you talk and explain to him/her. No one will understand what you're really going through and they most likely don't appreciate efforts.

Detained Children Colla3pse In Court As They Appear In Court For Protesting Against End Bad Governanance In Nigeria

Detained Children Colla3pse In Court As  They Appear In Court For Protesting Against  End Bad Governanance In Nigeria A minor, who is among 76 persons set to be arraigned by the Nigerian Police Force for participating in the recent EndBadGovernance protest that held across the country, on Friday, November 1, collapsed before the Federal High Court in Abuja.   The minor who is barely 15 years old was brought into courtroom alongside 75 other minors, all looking malnourished and unkempt. The yet-to-be-identified minor slumped as the charge was about to be read to them by trial Justice Obiora Egwuatu.   The incident forced the judge to abruptly halt the proceedings and return to his chambers.   With the help of lawyers in the courtroom, the frail looking boy was rushed to the court’s clinic as his co-defendants, who are mostly minors, weep uncontrollably.   One of the counsel representing the defendants, Deji Adeyanju had earlier disclosed that the minors had ...
