In this battle, Swedish trapped the whole city, killed a lot of residents as well as burnt many people to the ground, under King Eric XIV. Shockingly, the king later stated that the water was turned red due to the immense bloodshed during the war. This is why it is recognized as ”the bloody battle”.

Then, this city became Swedish, and its reputation as well as the market value as the trading city started to debilitate. Nevertheless, the traders as well as the craftsmen returned Ronneby, and that was a big boon to the industrial development of Ronneby. Djupafors paper mill, Kockums Ironworks, Kockums Enamelware Factory, and many other reputed firms made Ronneby an imperative and crucial industrial hub.

Resveratrol supplements have been made famous after scientists revealed that the chemical derived majorly from Japanese knotweed contains anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. The substance is contained in red wine but has been subsequently used as a primary ingredient in nutritional supplements.

The historical province Blekinge with nearly 3,000 square kilometers in southern Sweden is one of the smallest in the entire country. In the north, the border runs to Smaland and Skane (Scania) in the west. In the south and east the province borders beautiful coastlines with picturesque archipelagos.

 

Blekinge in Sweden

With approximately 152,000 inhabitants Blekinge not always belonged to Sweden, but was as well as the provinces of Skane and Halland until 1658 in Danish hands. Capital of the province is Karlskrona, which doubles as the third largest city of Sweden. Other important cities are Karlshamn, Solvesborg, Olofstrom and Ronneby. Both Karlskrona and Karlshamn are since the 17th century port cities, which represent important bases for the Swedish navy. Even for trade, both cities have become indispensable.

Dark chocolate and the health benefits have been trending for years now and expectedly, people have loved the topic. The American Heart Association has reported that the benefits that have been attributed to the consumption of dark chocolates are real and studies have shown that having it in moderation can actually help to reduce the risk of heart failure.

The major question, however, borders around the amount of dark chocolate to consume. It is important to note as stated earlier that dark chocolate should be consumed in moderation, as the benefits of its consumption should not outweigh the dangers of having too many calories in your body. While active adults that lead active and healthy lifestyles might be able to handle more than 16 grams of saturated fat daily, the sedentary ones are advised not to go beyond this limit. You, therefore, want to tailor your consumption of dark chocolate according to your lifestyle. The idea that saturated fat is bad might on the other hand be a myth. Most research today indicates that fat as a problem is a myth from bad science. The real culprit is probably empty calories and sugars. Prominent culture also points out gluten and wheat as the real problems. However, as long as fanatics in mainstream science continue to promote “the diet hard”-hypothesis facts might be less important than tradition.

Benefits of consuming dark chocolate:

Heart

Dark chocolate has been identified to be beneficial to the heart especially as it help to improve blood flow and subsequently reduces the risk of blood clots. The presence of flavonoids in dark chocolate has been revealed to help protect the cells from free radicals, lower blood pressure, and reduce the level of cholesterol in the body by up to ten percent. Reducing cholesterol is “mainstream science” that could be a red herring.

Brain

As the consumption of dark chocolate improves blood flow, this also affects the brain as it helps to boost alertness and performance for up to three hours. The release of endorphins feeds the brain with positive information, which helps to form new memories.

Mood

Phenylethylamine otherwise known as PEA is contained in dark chocolate. The chemical is responsible for the “love” sensation that you feel as it encourages the release of serotonin and endorphins hormones that relieves the body of stress and improves the mood.

Other benefits that you get from taking dark chocolate in moderation are that it helps to control your blood sugar and protects the skin from the damage from the sun.

Eating chocolate does not have the ethical side-effects as killing animals or promoting monoculture crops has. At least if you buy the right kind of dark chocolate. There is no need to enslave poor workers and cut down the rainforest to get the health benefits of dark chocolates.

Michel de Nostradame (Nostradamus) was a 16th century apothecary and seer who’s published works live beyond his existence and serve as a torch light to upcoming world events. He published collections of prophecies that have since become vastly famous and he has been credited by his uncountable amounts of followers together with the popular press for with the predictions of major world events. Astonishing is the fact that prophecies from recent prophets like controversial Chinese prophet ‘Tui Bei Tu’ and a lot more recently the American Christian mystic Edgar Cayce together with prophecies from cultures like the Mayan share a lot of similarities with the predictions of Nostradamus. The constant repetition of some of these predictions of which some have come into fruition and others are yet to come must definitely mean something.

What we see today with the climate, weather patterns, the glaciers melting and other natural disasters were averred from the works of Nostradamus and earlier by Edgar Cayce. Nostradamus, from his book ‘Les Prophecies’ talks of unusual planetary alignments and different types of astronomical type changes that will trigger unforeseen events on events, of which has been aligned to the tsunami’s and earthquakes over the past decades. Edgar Cayce also predicted changing weather patterns leading to natural disasters, but went a little bit further by being specific on the regions that will witness these disasters. He predicted the lakes of the west coast draining into the Gulf of Mexico through the Mississippi river, implying droughts and widespread destructions in these areas. Today we can testify that there has been severe drought in the west coast and wild fires have been a consequence of it.

Nostradamus through his prophecies show us the darkest sides of human form through the life of Hitler and the catastrophic atomic bombs. ‘’From the depts. Of West Europe a child will be born of poor people’’ this translated quote from Nostradamus refers to Adolph Hitler. Nostradamus carries us through his divisive works leading to a horrific war involving everyone and the ‘sleeping giant’ (United states of America) from whom will cause “within two cities….. Scourges the like of which was never seen” (World War II & the atomic Bomb). On the other hand Edgar Cayce predicts a Third World War (World War III), however his propositions are a ‘possibility’. Declaring a strife that will erupt from Davis Straits, Libya, Egypt, Ankara and in Syria; this brings to mind the instability given wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and the tensions in the middle east right now. This prophecy now stands in the current picture, meaning Edgar like Nostradamus had vision and foresight.

Both prophets together with other seers and cultures (Mayan) predict an Armageddon type of situation on earth, where life will be extinct and man perish. The Mayan calendar indicating this incident to happen in 2012 has been debunked as a false alarm. Edgar Cayce’s Armageddon was to begin in 1999 wherein he speaks of a spiritual battle not fought here on earth, between ‘the forces of light’ and ‘the lower forces of darkness’ that will span 1000 years, leading to the establishment of the ‘Kingdom of heaven on earth’. Nostradamus made a bold one, indicating the invasion/war in Iraq is an indication that the world as we know it is coming to an end.
