Studying history helps us understand how past events have shaped the present. We not only learn about ourselves and how we came to be but also develop the ability to avoid mistakes and create better paths for our societies.

So, join us in taking a look at the Twitter account 'Historic Vids.' It shares daily lessons supplemented with vibrant images that perfectly illustrate them. Whether it's a secret photo of Stalin dealing with the news that Nazis invaded the Soviet Union or a portrait of a regular family during the Spanish flu, they will definitely broaden your horizons.

Incredibly. I fed my newborn baby for the first time today and changed his nappy twice.

I'm still sad that he was gone too soon. His work was always enjoyable, and he seems to be a good person.

Me too, sad that he left us. Such a beautiful young man, and I wonder how much he was suffering on this earth. I hope he found peace.

Generally in society men are not expect to be happy. They’re expected to have a job, wife, kids et cetera provide, “be a man” but happy doesn’t come into the equation. Just look at the lack of mental support for men specifically. This goes to the just man up type of attitude which is prevalent. Thankfully, this is changing but not quick enough.

Oh please women are expected to give up everything to "make their man" happy it's eyeroll inducing heating men whine when they have it incredibly easy im comparison to women 🙄 and if you want to see change for men's mental health services then you need to make men step up!

im relatively happy. i have what I call "points" in my life. they last for a couple months each, and they switch between "high points" and "low points". Ive been at a high point for the last month. it'll probably change sometime in the summer, but im doing good in my life for now.

In my experience at least, most people who ask if you are happy don't really want to know the real answer to that. So if you are going to ask someone, whether it's someone you just met or someone you have known for a while, be prepared to hear that the answer might be No.

I disagree. The people that ask "how are you?" are the ones that tend not to care either way, whereas the people that ask "are you happy?" are the ones that genuinely care because they are the type of people where happiness is a rare commodity

When people ask me, "what do you do?" I answer with a list of things I do for enjoyment and enrichment and happiness. I do not answer with what I do for work.

Yes they do. "How's it going?" Is a standard Aussie greeting. We're asking how you are, ie if you're happy.

We just got back from the Renaissance Festival and of course had to watch "A Knight's Tale." Such a beautiful lad, such an amazing movie.

Yep, been through a lot of s**t in my life, losing family members, divorce, even attempted to end it etc, but I'm lying in bed with my lovely husband, and we've had a beautiful sunny day together. To all of you who are at bottom, hold on, it really does improve.

Every greeting is a hi, how are you? People would feel like an imbecile saying Hi, are you happy? Are you "creating a reason" to be a victim of indifference? Or is this a trite attempt to appear vulnerable? Grow up, call your mom if you want to talk about your victimhood.

Alas no. But that's sort of the norm with treatment resistant depression. So, y'know... onward we merrily stumble.

Curious, did you have the genetic testing done to see what medications you will respond better to? I hope an effective treatment comes your way.

Hate the way they turn these photos black and white to make it seem oldtimey, when it's in colour in the 80s.

The photo is "blind girl" taken in Hiroshima by Christer Strömholm. He took haunting pictures of the victims of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The close-up of a blind girl with scars on her face is surely the most well known of the series. Once seen, it is never forgotten. Like most of Strömholm’s photographs, this one seems unpolished and shadowed, since it was taken spontaneously and in the light available. Using the existing light was a central credo to him. Disturbingly, Strömholm confronts the viewer with a reality that is taboo and all too eagerly repressed. He lets the viewer experience unadorned human suffering without compromising the dignity of those he portrays. The girl stayed anonymous..The photo is often claimed to show the face of a girl blinded by the nuclear bomb. This seems unlikely, since the girl appears younger than 18 years. It is also possible that the photo was taken earlier but not published until 1963.

Revealing her vagina would have had serious irreversible health consequences. You might be talking about vulva perhaps?

Very healthy diets these tribal people had. I'm sure it's the same with New Guinea tribes as well. (Look it up. It's very good for inducing insomnia and waking nightmares.) I think one of the rockerfellers was their "guest" too.

Legend has it that Frank secretly resented Dean Martin because Dean could just show up and smooooth out songs while Frank worked his asss off..... Dean Martin was LEAGUES better than Sinatra, imo, and less of an assshole...... though Frank did have his moments of going to bat for folks, especially Sammy....

If that was actual bone growth around the spike then he survived for some time after injury. Can't speculate how long he could have lived or how mentally and physically challenged he would have been. If it is just museum repair job to hold spike in place, then it would mean he did not survive injury.
