Psychological Effects of War Trauma
Shocking or scary events lead to psychological trauma. Trauma leads to the apparition of post-traumatic stress disorder. This disorder affects the lives of people for years or even decades after the end of the traumatic event. Soldiers often report going through psychological trauma, because of the violent nature of war itself. Unfortunately, civilians become victims of wars, too, and because, as compared to soldiers, they are defenseless (since they do not carry weapons) civilians are affected even more severely by war trauma. Seeing people get injured or killed leads to trauma, because of some characteristics of the human psyche. Any violent event is interpreted by the brain as a potential danger. This leads to fear and a prolonged sensation of fear remains imprinted in the memory for a long time. The result is that it manifests itself even after years, as nightmares or flashbacks.

Why Are Thermobaric Weapons Dangerous
A thermobaric weapon or a vacuum bomb is a type of two-stage munition. It is a relatively recent invention, and it is far more dangerous than traditional weapons. The pressure wave it produces can kill, while the vacuum it creates after the explosion can rupture the lungs. The victims get severe burns if the fuel does not explode, but only burns. In case they inhale the hot fuel, they can also get internal burns. The undetonated fuel itself is toxic to humans. This short description of its effects provides a clear picture of the dangers this type of weapon poses.

The Freedom of Cats
Cats love to take a stroll in the neighborhood, but unfortunately, there are a lot of reasons for limiting their free movement. Some of these animals are expensive pedigree cats, and owners are afraid that they might get stolen. In this case, it is easy to understand why a cat owner does not want to give their cats more freedom. Some of the pedigree cats have special characteristics, that make them vulnerable, therefore owners will try to stop them from getting outside, to prevent their cats from getting health problems. It is the case of hairless cats, who can get sunburns. The Persian cats also raise problems, because their fur gets matted. Therefore living outside the house, would make it very difficult to care for their fur.

Explosive Weapons and How to Protect Yourself from Being Injured
In war, civilians can unfortunately also be targeted and it is vital for them to understand how to defend themselves against explosive weapons. These weapons affect wide areas and can injure and kill people. If the attack is prolonged, the structure of buildings can be damaged, which in turn can lead to injury of the civilians who hide inside. Usually, during a war, there is no more water, electricity, or gas supply and people have little possibility to find food and water to survive. If staying in a basement could give a certain amount of safety, the lack of water and food will force people to venture outside, therefore exposing them to attacks with explosive weapons.

The Domestic Cat and Its Origins
Cats are the stars on platforms such as Youtube and TikTok and represent the favorite pet of most people. They are playful, cuddly, and warm people's hearts with their cute, child-like behavior. Scientists say that cats have a very developed emotional intelligence and this is the reason why they manage to make us love them so much. A proof of the love that humans feel for their house cats is the fact that even in front of catastrophes, such as the war in Ukraine, people did not abandon their beloved pets, and took them along on the perilous route to freedom and safety. But not many know how cats actually started to be adopted into our families. Their story begins almost 10000 years ago, at the dawn of civilization.

Cat Breeds - What Cat Should I Buy
Whoever decides to buy a cat has a great variety of breeds to choose from. Maine Coon, British Shorthair, Ragdoll, or Scottish Fold are merely some examples. Cat breeds can differ greatly from one another because each breed has been selected for certain characteristics. Cats such as the Sphynx, do not shed, because they have absolutely no fur. They represent the choice for people who have fur allergies. Nevertheless, some people dislike their baldness and are looking for breeds that have short or long hair. The Norwegian or the Persian Cats have beautiful long fur. The Ragdoll is preferred by people who want a cat who has a calm and floppy temperament.

Will World War 3 Destroy Europe?
Since the attack on Ukraine, more and more people speak about World War 3 every day. And a conflict of this type is very likely to involve atomic weapons. But would these weapons be used on all continents? Very unlikely. Just like World War 2, this new war will be probably fought mostly in Europe. What will that mean? Europe will be destroyed again and need decades to recover after an atomic war. If no treatment for cancer and radiation poisoning will be discovered soon (which is unlikely, given the contemporary level of medical development), the Europeans will suffer from radiation-related diseases for the next one hundred years.
