MYSTAND ON GAMBLING

I have had my fare share of experience with gambling. Not all forms of gambling I dare say, but just enough to take a stance. I have been arrested for allegedly gambling! I have lost money while gambling. I have got money from gambling. I have made friends while gambling and lost some. Gambling, like any other activity has both the positive and the negative sides. What is your experience?

Gambling takes many forms and I will not mention all or even any of them because it is something I now regard a waste of time. I think gambling is a lowly form of achieving money or even enjoying yourself if you ask me. There is always someone losing at the other end. Not just time but also money. Some even lose themselves! The fact that gambling makes some part of the economy of many countries in the world does not settle well with me, still, I believe people should keep off it.

MYSTAND ON EVs

Electric Vehicles are gettting into the market at a very high rate. With many of the automotive industries incentivizing the production of more EVs it will be no shock if they get more preffered to the GVs. EVs are simply vehicles which are powered by electric motor instead of internal combustion engines.

EVs are of three types. Battery electric vehicles are those that have batteries installed to power the vehicle. The batteries are rechargable. The batteries are the Lithium-ion batteries which are more reliable for holding charge. The second type of EVs are the Hybrid Electric Vehicles. This, has both the internal combustion system and an electric motor to power the vehicle. Talk about having options. The third type of EVs are the Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles which also have both electric motor and an internal combustion engine. The difference between the last two is that hybrid EVs only has the electric battery powering driving at lower speeds while in the plug-in hybrid the batteries are the primary power source for the car and the internal combustion supplements it when it is drained.

There are a number of advantages to EVs. These include zero tailpipe emmissions(pleasant to the environment), fast acceleration meaning high perfomance, they can be charged at home and reduced operating cost as one does not have to buy fuel. There are even more advantages. On the downside, EVs fires are take longer to take out and need a lot of water for the same, the initial purchasing cost is too much and the charging also takes longer. I could go on and on about the advantages and disadvatages but it all zeros in to your preferences. I for one like the look on EVs, the speed and the fact that there are pretty crazy models of EVs. So simply put, I want to own one of these. Very soon.

MYSTAND ON GREEK PAINTING

I should go wash my brain or eyes, either one of them needs to reset. Why? I really love the Greek paintings, looking at them makes me want to paint something, reading about it on the other hand though…

Ancient Greece paintings are divided stylistically into four periods, Archaic, Classsical, Geometric and Hellinistic. The four periods were age related and in each age there was a common type of painting style. It is just like the modern days, trend, is it? In ancient Greece paintings were valued more than sculptures. At some point painting got to be regarded as a gentlemanly practise. The paintings in ancient Greece varied from vase paintings, interior landscape backgrounds and illusionistic paintings. The paintings were a big part of the Greece, I am sure every painter gets a thing or two from them. For some time panel paintings were the common and respected form of art and yet in the Hellinistic period the Greek wall paintings were common to point of becoming grave decorations.

The most famous of all ancient Greek painters was Apelles of Kos. This is according to Plany the elder. I bet you should check out some of his paintings. I definitely think the Greek paintings are inspirational to any art lover. What do you think?

NONE!

What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?

Repeating a movie or series is something hard for me. I cannot say I have never done it but 5 times! Man, I wish there was a movie that good. I have only repeated The Hitmans wife bodyguard twice just see that hilarious ending over again. Adapting the bodyguard, that was crazy. The facials on the Hitman and the Bodyguard too. Let me watch that again, might just reach that 5!

MYSTAND ON GREEK GOVERNMENT SYSTEM

In two words, Demos Kratos. That is all I even have to write about the Greek government system. In ancient Greece, Athens was the first to ever exercise democracy and in the whole world. In modern day Greece, the government is lead by the Prime Minister with the President being the head of state.

Greece funtioned in a way that all citizens were involved in the government. A section of about 500 citizens were chosen every year to serve in the government.They were able to vote on new laws and control all the political processes of the nation. By citizens I mean free men and not slaves, children or women. Though democracy was first initiated in the Athens, this does not mean that Greece never experienced or had other forms of governments. They had differnt forms of governments which changed over differnt periods of time. Some of the other forms of government include, monarchy, oligarchy and tyranny. Monarchy involed the ruling individual to have inherited his role. In oligarchy, the nation was ruled by a select group of individuals. Tyranny in the ancient Greece was not as evil as the word nowadays is. The tyrant was majorly focused on his betterment. There are even a few of the tyrants who had good runs in the office and are remembered for this.

From the times of ancient Greece to modern day Greece I cannot help but admire their organisation in the things that happen in their nation. Their political system confirm this yet again!
