Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games 2014, Sochi

 

Czech Republic issued a stamp to celebrate the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi 2014. The stamp features a snowboarder. The XXII Olympic Winter Games are being held from the 7th to the 23rd of February 2014 in Sochi, Russia.

Ceska Posta issued a stamp dedicated to the Winter Paralympic Games in Sochi 2014. The stamp illustrates a sledge-hockey player.

The origins of the Paralympic Games are credited to Professor Ludwig Guttmann, a neurologist and neurosurgeon. A new perspective on the issue of rehabilitation for persons with disabilities was influenced by World War II. In 1944, Professor Guttmann founded a medical center in Stoke-Mandeville Hospital (UK) for the treatment of people with spinal cord disabilities. He later became the founder of the International Stoke Mandeville games for people with disabilities of the musculoskeletal system. These games were the model for the Paralympic Games. The first Paralympic Winter Games took place in 1976 in Ornskoldsvik, Sweden.

In the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Games, competitors will compete in five different sports: alpine skiing, biathlon, cross country skiing, ice sledge hockey and curling.

New UNESCO stamps from France..

 

 

In the month of  November, the French National Post Office released two new UNESCO stamps.One stamp (shown above)  calls attention to the endangered red-crowned crane (Grusjaponensis), and the need to protect this species. In Japan, the crane, known as the “tancho,” is a powerful national symbol, representing longevity and immortality.

 

The second stamp features the Ancient City of Sigiriya (Sri Lanka), a UNESCO World Heritage site, where one can wind through ancient galleries and staircases, and out through the mouth of a gigantic lion. The “Lion Mountain” is a unique witness to the civilization of Ceylon during the years of the reign of Kassapa I. Its frescoes inaugurated a pictorial style which endured over many centuries. Poems inscribed on the rock, known as “Sigiri graffiti,” are among the most ancient texts in the Sinhalese language. They attest to the considerable influence that Sigiriya exerted on both literature and thought.

Christmas stamps from Guernsey

Music has long been a feature of the Christmas season and its celebrations. Whilst the earliest chants, litanies, and hymns were Latin works intended for use during the church liturgy, rather than popular songs, over time the words and music has evolved.

Today’s musical Christmas celebrations comprise a variety of genres from traditional carols, emotive melodic arrangements, to fun “sing-a-long” favourites.

To celebrate the 2013 festive season Guernsey Post has chosen to focus on the entertaining song “When Santa got stuck up the chimney.” The charming images on the stamps, created by talented artist Nick Watton, imaginatively bring the lyrics to life.  Not much is known about the song’s history, originally a folk song the popular version we’re familiar with today has been performed by many artists over the years including Jimmy Grafton.

Stamp Descriptions:

35p – Santa gliding past the window;
40p- Santa lands on the roof;
53p – Santa is stuck in the chimney;
55p – Children pulling Santa out;
63p – Santa sneezing;
71p – Santa leaves presents;
79p – Santa continues on his way.

125 years of electric power radiation - Heinrich Hertz

Heinrich Hertz (born February 22, 1857, died January 1, 1894) is one of the world's greatest physicists and was the most prominent researchers in the former Technical University of Karlsruhe, where until 1889 he taught as a professor in 1885.Previously, he was a lecturer in 1883 for Theoretical Physics at the University of Kiel and then from 1889 professor of physics at the University of Bonn.

The main results of the work are that he named after his electromagnetic waves , discovered that we know today as radio and microwaves, and has demonstrated in an experiment in Karlsruhe. He confirmed the report drawn up by the English physicist JC Maxwell in the form of the so-called Maxwell's equations of the theory of propagation of electromagnetic fields. Heinrich Hertz also showed experimentally that electromagnetic waves behave like light waves. In the treatise "On rays of electric force," he summed up his work together.

Hermann von Helmholtz introduced the report of Heinrich Hertz at the Academy meeting of the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin on 13 December 1888 with great success before.

Hirsch's experiments were primarily the study of metabolic processes and metabolic diseases . It supplied experimental evidence that under certain conditions also unresolved substances penetrate the mucosa of the small intestine and can then be excreted in the urine ("Hirsch" effect).

Because the inclusion of a medical school for women in Germany was not possible, Rahel Hirsch wrote in 1898 in Switzerland for a corresponding study of a. After his degree and doctorate, she worked as a physician at the Charité Berlin and was only the first and the second internist doctor at all in this clinic. Despite manifold disadvantages compared with male colleagues, she was appointed as the first woman in the Kingdom of Prussia as Professor of Medicine in 1913.

1919 different Rachel Hirsch from the Charité to operate a private practice on the Kurfürstendamm. After the takeover of power by the National Socialists, they could only be a very limited working as a Jewish doctor, she finally had to give up their practice and emigrated to England in 1938, where she worked as a laboratory assistant and translator.

Drawn by mental illness, Rachel Hirsch died at the age of 83 years in a mental hospital in London.
