BRAS AND BREAST CANCER - HARD SCIENCE OR MYTH?


 
I looked this up because someone told me that Hungarian women don't often wear bras.
 
Now that may be myth, and it may be that Hungarian women wear something other than the bra to hold their breasts under clothing.... CAN ANYONE REPORT IN ON THIS?
 
Anyway, this article is compelling!
 
It occurs to me it might be about blood circulation!

STRANDS OF THE UNIVERSE? THE MILKY WAY : THE LEGEND OF SCABA BY FRED HAMORI

So much very exciting news from space exploration!  Recently say an article out of Australia that said that scientists had seen the web of the universe for the first time. (Of course when I read the explanation of how this could be so, I realized they didn't even mean seeing with a telescope, and it was theory.)

Then I found this story called THE WAY OF THE HOSTS -  THE MILKY WAY - LEGEND OF CSABA!

CWNET - CHABA LEGEND BY FRED HAMORI  (settle in to read)

It begins, "In Hungarian mythology the youngest son of Attila (Etele) was called Csaba, which in Turkic and old Hungarian also meant shepherd, the "shepherd of the people". 

This legend is about the mythical guardianship he symbolizes for the people of
Transylvanian Hungarians who treat him as their ancestor and guardian "angel" in
a loosely translated sense. The Transylvanian-Hungarian anthem even calls to him
for his protection..."

JAMIE LEE CURTIS - ACTRESS - CHILDREN'S BOOK AUTHOR - HUNGARIAN AMERICAN

JAMIE LEE CURTIS - BOOK AUTHOR - CHILDREN'S BOOKS

JAMIE LEE CURTIS ON LINE

IMBD - FILM DATABASE - JAMIE LEE CURTIS PAGE


The daughter of Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, who I've blogged about in relation to his Emanuel Foundation work, is also through her marriage to Christopher Guest, a Lady of the British Empire  - Lady Haden-Guest.  She has a son and daughter and has written 8 children's books.  Known for her amazing feminine physic, and some interesting and excellent film roles with three films coming up, my favorite thus far being the wife of the Arnold Schwartenegger's character in True Lies, where she acts as the wife who needs an adventure and does a very sexy but silly and clumsy strip tease, she seems to have accomplished a happy and stable marriage and family life, and with her Hollywood background, that's saying a lot!

BARDEJOV - A MEDIEVAL TOWN

UNESCO LINK TO BARDEJOV MEDIEVAL TOWN  full site

Bardejov Town Conservation Reserve : SOME EXCERPTS

Bardejov is a small but exceptionally complete and well-preserved example of a fortified medieval town, which typifies the urbanisation in this region. Among other remarkable features, it also contains a small Jewish quarter around a fine 18th-century synagogue."


The Town Hall was built in 1505-9, the first building in Slovakia with Renaissance stone moulding. The public buildings include the late Gothic Humanistic Grammar School, built on the site of a medieval school, modified in Renaissance style and again in classical style. The municipal wine house of the early 15th century was a storehouse for wines from the vicinity of the town and from the Tokai region. The burghers' houses on their deep narrow plots have undergone many modifications as the result of repeated fires. This type of building was introduced by German traders from Silesia in the early 13th century. The Renaissance saw the addition of ornate facades to the two-storey merchants' houses, converting them into luxurious houses. The most significant Jewish element in Bardejov is the Great Synagogue, built in 1725-47. The complex also contains ritual baths, a kosher slaughterhouse and a meeting building, now a school.

From the first quarter of the 18th century, Slovaks and Hassidic Jews came into Bardejov in large numbers. The burghers' houses were rebuilt or modified in keeping with current architectural fashion, a Jewish quarter with a synagogue, slaughterhouse, and ritual baths developed in the north-western suburbs, and new churches and bridges were built.
