Dmitry Mendeleev 2014 will be a year of 180th birth anniversary of Dmitry Mendeleev, the key figure of the world of science. Plenty of anecdotes and myths tied to his name—two greatest among them, sounding now like truth, are about the Mendeleev's dream of the periodic table and about his discovering of the formula of vodka. He was able to do everything, including suitcases making. He recognized by himself that his contribution to science was pretty miscellaneous. But the Nobel Prize has never become his. Mendeleev's behavior was sometimes strange, so there was no surprise that he looked not seriously on his contemporaries' view. Nobody paid attention to his periodic table during whole six years! But later they have begun to create its varieties and copies, and even proclaim that Mendeleev stole the system from an obscure scientist. Some sources wrongly mention that Mendeleev was born in Tobolsk, Serbia instead Tobolsk, Siberia.

The Man Who Laughed In The Face of Death Humor therapy is the use of laughter for the relief of pain and stress. And although laughter can not cure diseases but it can help sick people. Norman Cousins, an American journalist, was the first who found this out. Norman Cousins was always full of energy. One day he has felt ill but have not paid attention on this. Meanwhile, day by day his illness became stronger and soon it already did not allow him to walk, to move his limbs, and to turn his neck. Doctors said him their sad verdict: this is a rare bones disease and it is incurable. Depressed Cousins laid in his ward and thought. He did not want to die but medicine did not help him. Once he recalled that sadness and despair destroy our organisms, whereas positive emotions heal us. So the journalist decides to make fun of his illness. He asks nurses bring him a motion picture projector and plenty of comedies. In the beginning he looks at the screen with gloom. In a day he sorrowfully grins: what a foolish idea is it! But later he begins to smile, then giggle, then laugh! Ten minutes of laughter had an anesthetic effect and Cousins got two hours of pain-free sleep. The laughing patient began to cure himself. Finally he could walk, play tennis and even ride a horse. And most importantly, Norman Cousins could work again. They have called him “The Man Who Laughed In The Face of Death”. After that case people use humor therapy. And there is a special profession now–medical clowns.
