Ian Gillan (Deep Purple lead singer) about Putin's psychopatic ambitions
"If speaking out means we shall never see our Russian friends again, then that is a big sacrifice, but nothing compared with never again seeing our Ukrainian friends who are being killed to satisfy the psychopathic ambitions of the Russian leader. I would like to see Russians on the streets in their millions, to show their disgust at the Ukrainian invasion, and I'd like to dream that very quickly, Russia can find some modern leadership that will bring them back into the world as friends. We have so much in common."
(Ian Gillan - Deep Purple lead singer)

Aurelia Caragiu (born Aurelia Tomoiu) 1932 - 2022 Love and Sacrifice
MAMA - Aurelia Caragiu (born Aurelia Tomoiu) my mother lived a full life marked by love and sacrifice. She died in the same spirit of empathy that encompasses everything in its embrace.
Memories matter, because believe it or not that's all we have (and I refuse to talk about anything else, here I am a hard constructivist), the only problem is in putting in an adequate effort to access said memories (but it's worth it).
My mother was a respected Chemistry teacher at Teleajen Oil Industrial High School near Ploiesti (where she brutally but so resiliently commuted for many years, every day, rain or shine, snow or storm, with two buses). She taught me to write, asked me to make summaries of the materials that I was reading (so that I could eventually focus better), facilitated, through her textbooks or other nonfiction books, my first scientific explorations (even now I remember how passionate I was about my readings on Electrolysis from her textbooks when herself was a school student - those I found in the attic and of course she approved those readings once she found my secret, and how much I loved the books "Fun Physics" by Ia. I. Perelman, "Physics in Everyday Life" by E. Aisberg, "Fun Biology" by Igor Akimuskin, "Fun Botanic" by Tudor Opris, "One, Two, Three...Infinity" by George Gamow, and others that she bought for me). She also bought me big-sized student notebooks, in which I was supposed to write everything I was thinking about. She was an efficient facilitator in my early school years, giving me everything she had, especially trust, when I needed it most.
RIP mom! You will never be forgotten.
