I have long promised to write a story about the creation of the Oxford Dictionary. You might think that now there will be some boring story about how great minds collected words, worked with their meaning, did not sleep at night, performing their linguistic and philological feat. This, of course, was everything, but still, while working on the dictionary, one amazing and completely unusual story happened, the main character of which was a mentally ill person who committed a murder. Let's talk about everything in order. The Oxford Dictionary is undeniably one of the most reputable sources for looking up words and their meanings. In addition, it is of great interest to scientists, because, thanks to it, one can trace the history of the development of the English language. It is sometimes referred to as "Murray's Dictionary", since it was Sir James Augustus Henry Murray who became its first editor. In 1857, the London Philological Society decides on the need to create a

 What is laughter therapy and how does it actually work? Friends, before the weekend we have prepared a very interesting post for you, which will at least cheer you up, and most likely will also be useful!😉 For example, did you know that children laugh about 400 times a day, and adults only 15 times a day? Laughter therapy (also gelototherapy, from the Greek γέλως ("gelos") - "laughter") is a psychotherapeutic practice that is designed to help the patient better understand himself, his behavior, and mood.

The foundations of the scientific discipline of gelotology (from Greek - “the science of laughter”) were laid in the 1960s by the American psychiatrist William Fry from Stanford University. For

Fever is not a disease, but a normal, defensive reaction. It doesn't just happen. The ORGANISM itself does it. There are two types of immunity: nonspecific (innate) and specific (acquired). A person has nonspecific immunity from birth until death. This is a complex of cells and physiological reactions, which was created for the indiscriminate, one might even say "inaccurate" destruction of everything alien. Specific immunity is developed throughout life in the form of the formation of antibodies to all foreign organisms that enter it actively (a full-fledged disease) or passively (vaccination). Accordingly, the longer a person has lived, the more and more diverse his set of antibodies, which means the less likely he is to meet a new microbe that will cause him a disease. Fever just refers to the system of nonspecific immunit
