Home of Dracula
Bran Castle is a castle in Bran. The castle was built by Saxons in 1377 who were given the privilege by Louis I of Hungary. It is a national monument and landmark in Transylvania. The fortress is on the Transylvanian side of the historical border with Wallachia, on road DN73.
Marketed outside Romania as Dracula’s Castle, it is presented as the home of the title character in Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula (1897). There is no evidence that Stoker knew anything about this castle, which has only tangential associations with Vlad the Impaler, voivode of Wallachia, whose byname ‘Drăculea’ resembles that of Dracula.
The castle is now a museum dedicated to displaying art and furniture collected by Queen Marie. Tourists can see the interior on their own or by a guided tour.

With roots in Ethiopia and Yemen over 300 years ago, Coffee did not grow in popularity until America made it the drink of choice. This is closely linked to the history of our own country. After the tax from the Tea Act of 1775, America rejected Tea sold by the British East India Trading Company, and went to cheaper alternate coffee. This brought it to the masses, and began its march towards global domination.
Types of Coffee
Pourovers
The most popular form of coffee in the world is pourover. It is a process where you pour hot water over coffee in a paper filter. This process is the basis of the drip coffee machine. It yields a fast ok cup of coffee.

Percolated Coffee
The older brother to the modern day drip coffee machine is the percolator. It has 1 major downside, if it reseals the coffee multiple times it becomes more bitter. It was very uncommon to drink this with very little issue.
Before the modern high pressure espresso machine, there was still a way to make a higher pressure more caffeinated coffee than drip. It was called a Moka Pot. To use it, you would fill the bottom with water, a cup with coffee

Since the 1940’s we have always looked at radiation as the monster that had to be conquered or feared, but is it really as bad as science fiction would have you believe? let explore this concept.
The Facts
Many people believe that Radiation Illnesses are a major factor for dying cancers, but the facts just don’t back this up.
Illness
Rate
Skin Cancer
60,000-90,000
Smoking
7,000,000(1.5m from secondhand smoke)
Acute Radiation Syndrome
60-100 SINCE WWII
Per Capita Mortality of different diseases
The Truth
Radiation is a calculatable risk. We use certain tools to keep a safe measurement of risk, but in many cases, radioactive material that most people can gain access to it is not very dangerous. We have lived alongside it for thousands of years, and unless you are purposely collecting and storing it very incorrectly, it’s not dangerous.
“Unless you are purposely collecting and storing radioactive material very incorrectly, it’s not dangerous.”
