Thanks OzzFan.

Now as for getting a good idea, if you have the skills and abilities, a good idea will come to you. Again, that is not a matter of luck, ideas don't fall from the sky and hit people at random, they come to people who have the right skills and abilities. Skills and abilities they have honed over time through practice and study.

Oh, so we discount apples and Newton then?

Many people, throughout History, have had Apples, and other things, fall on their heads.

Newton, may have been the first to go, Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

Galileo was on the right track, dropping two different sized cannon balls from a tower and observing that they accelerated at the same rate. But he never proposed a theory of gravity.

Galileo did have a theory of gravity.
He was spot on. However not the maths.
It was Rene Descartes and Isaac Newton who come up with the math.
One of Descartes Book is titled ”Mundus est fabula” (The world is a myth).

Janne... You have to understand.
Those that wish to censor you, for what you post:
Say very personally insulting, and worse things about others, who are outside Their 'Beliefs'. They believe this is OK.
It is very typical of this type, and also pertains to The Right, as to The Left.
They will never change.
Sorry.

Hehehe.
I Think I know who they are:)
Remember the school bully?
Remember kids that got assigned for keeping order in the class room?

Myth or Reality?

After the current Pope, the reign of the Vatican will come to an end and true Christianity will be born. (the true teachings of Jesus Christ will be taught)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophecy_of_the_Popes

Many analyses of the prophecy note that it is open to the interpretation that additional popes would come between the "glory of the olive" and Peter the Roman.[6][16] Popular speculation by proponents of the prophecy attach this prediction to Benedict XVI's successor.[1] Since Francis' election as Pope, proponents in internet forums have been striving to link him to the prophecy. Theories include a vague connection with Francis of Assisi, whose father was named Pietro (Peter).

This is funny and not myths:)
Pyramiden (meaning "the pyramid" in most Scandinavian languages; called Пирамида, Piramida, in Russian) is a Russian settlement and coal mining community on the archipelago of Svalbard, Norway. Founded by Sweden in 1910 and sold to the Soviet Union in 1927, Pyramiden was closed in 1998 and has since remained largely abandoned with most of its infrastructure and buildings still in place.

Russia Deputy PM Dmitry Rogozin suddenly turned up today on Norwegian Svalbard. In spite of visa ban. On his way to the North Pole.

And Norwegians snowmobile here carry the tourists to explore the "Soviet heritage"

Since when was Svalbard Soviet?

The Russians have destroyed the delicate Arctic environment with a Lenin statue.

Finlands immigration is VERY low. Most of them comes from Europe.
According to Statistics Finland, 31,940 persons immigrated to Finland from foreign countries during 2013. The number is 660 higher than in the previous year and the highest during Finland's independence. Emigration from Finland also increased slightly and was 13,890 persons. During 2013, net immigration totalled 18,050 persons, which is 620 up on the year before. Net immigration by foreign citizens increased somewhat, or by 530 persons.

Now this happen:)
Helsinki has elected two immigrant candidates to parliament. Nasima Razymar and Ozan Yanar are not the first MPs born elsewhere, but they represent a different wave of immigration to those that preceded them.
http://yle.fi/uutiset/two_immigrant_mps_heading_to_parliament/7939744

Social Democrat Nasima Razmyar and Green Ozan Yanar are set to take their places in parliament after Sunday's election. The two become the only immigrant legislators in the next parliament, with the exception of Sweden-born independent Elisabeth Nauclér, who represents the semi-autonomous maritime province of Åland.

There have been MPs born in Sweden or Estonia, or born to foreign parents in Finland, but none born as far afield as Afghanistan or Turkey. Razmyar's roots are in Afghanistan. Her father was a diplomat, and the family was based in Moscow when the Soviet Union collapsed and they decided to move to Finland. With 5,107 votes she was elected on the SDP slate in Helsinki.

Yanar was born in Turkey and grew up in the UK and Cyprus before moving to Finland aged 14. He is chair of the Greens' youth organisation and has worked as an economist for the blue-collar trade union confederation SAK. In his spare time he says he likes to play football, and supports the Istanbul club Besiktas.

He got 4,184 votes and has apparently narrowly made it through on the Green League ticket in the capital.

Are EU cracking up?
If you think that South Sudan is the world's youngest state, then you are way off:)
Free Republic of Liberland
The new state has an area of only seven square kilometers, but has already received membership applications from tens of thousands of people.
According to the state's founder and current president Vit Jedlicka has neither Serbia or Croatia claimed the territory Gornja Siga. According to him, the Liberland violates no national boundaries.
Former Czech Vit Jedlicka is a member of free citizens party that is critical of modern Europe. He formed the new government in protest. Liberland already has a flag, arms and motto (Live and let live). The new government has also started a website and a Facebook page.
So far, already 250,000 people applied for the Liberland's citizenship. Currently prospective citizens are selected. Liberland's gate is closed for the Nazis, communists and criminals. The state also requires absolute respect for private property.

Three western myths about Russia that it is time to refute.
The first myth about Russia is that no immigrants come to the country and that all citizen dreams of escaping Russia for good.
The second myth is based on the country is on the brink of collapse.
The third myth that Western media tend to spread as actively involves the Russians would like to become Americans, although they would prefer to keep their felt boots and fur hat with ear flaps.

No, just the people with all the money dream of 'escaping'. And with that I mean park all their money on offshore accounts and have a house somewhere in London in the case they somehow piss off someone with more power and they need to get out or risk prison.

The second myth is based on the country is on the brink of collapse.

Not a myth, Russia has been on the brink ever since it got founded. Its existence is more of a miracle than a certainty. In a sense, Russia is a bit of a historical anomaly. Its possibly one of the only countries where we 'great person' history applies. Normally countries evolve because of impersonal forces, like economics, ideological movements, etc. But not Russia. Its literally a country that behaved like its Tsar. If they had a competent Tsar, Russia prospered, if they had an idiot, it declined. Tsars modernized the country, or they stopped all progress right in its tracks. Impersonal forces only mattered in as far as they made the Tsar react to them.

The reason why Russians love their strong leaders so much is because they are a necessity. The Russian concept of 'nation' is somewhat unique in its xenophobia. It only exists when invaded by foreigners. Which is why Russian politicians often use the threat of foreign invasion for internal political matters, its the only way of keeping the country together. But it only takes one weakling, one politician who fails to appreciate this fact, and the whole thing collapses. Separatists will split off their tiny republics and Russia is no more.

Russia is a mystery to us westerns.
Our country has fought 33 wars against Russia during the ages.
One time helping Ukriane against Peter the Great.

Russia is a VERY xenophobic country.
On the other hand Finland as well...

And there "history"...
The very name Rossia suggest a very funny thing.
It has do with rows:):)::)

And strong leaders in the history.
Well Where did the FIRST tsar of Russia came from?
He is called Rurik and he is the father of all tsars until Romanov took over.

I think the vikings had something to do with it.

Nobody ever asked the Vikings to come. They just show up one day like the loony relatives everyone of has. Hi cousin, we decided to spend a month with you this year for vacation:)
