Today we remember one of the world's greatest scientists: Marie Skłodowska Curie.
Curie dedicated her life to science. She was the first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the first person to be awarded twice and is still the only person to receive the prize in two different scientific fields.
Curie died #OTD in 1934.
Marie Curie died of aplastic anaemia on 4 July 1934, a result of years of exposure to radiation through her work. Even today her laboratory notebook from 1899-1902, is radioactive and will be for 1,500 years.
@abpatru@sofia_covaci Cel mai simplu și eficient mod: te dai pe banda din dreapta, aștepți să treacă, treci înapoi și în 2 minute ai uitat de el! Continui deplasarea fără nici un stres, problemă sau urmă de nervi! Doar 2 minute durează până eviti orice urmă de nervi și asta e priceless!

@GabrielGiurgiu2@ionutzelgabriel Îi ascult de multă vreme, mă ancorează în realitatea vorbirii corect gramatical și îmi conferă liniștea de care avem nevoie cu toții, în traficul ăsta! Buni, buni!
@CorinaCg3 Deobicei nu prea zic nimic la postările dumneavoastră. Știu de pasiunea pt eclere pt că îmi apar destul de des postările dar asta, de departe, mi se pare cea mai bună ciorbă postată vreodată! 😀
@GabrielGiurgiu2@radusmall@Bo Asta e adevărat, și eu cu Waze. Dar am de mers acu’ la sfârșitul lunii în Grecia și mă gândeam să veric de 2 ori, nu de alta dar vreau să țin bine de permis 😉
@GabrielGiurgiu2@radusmall@Bo Cam tot în același context, aveți idee dacă acele camere fixe din Bulgaria sunt puse în funcțiune sau se circulă ca pe vremuri…cu ochii în 4?
A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.
She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.
Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.
Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.
Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.
She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.
By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.
Prieteni,
Mâine romano-catolicii celebrează sărbătoarea “Trupul Domnului”. De ce această solemnitate? De ce unii catolici o serbează duminica viitoare?
Voi celebra Euharistia la catedrala “Sfântul Iosif” din București la 12.15. Cu această ocazie voi explica sensul sărbătorii.
En attendant la cérémonie de ce soir, « Fjord » de Cristian Mungiu triomphe déjà à Cannes 2026 avec 4 distinctions : Prix François Chalais, Prix du Jury œcuménique, Prix de la Citoyenneté et Prix FIPRESCI. Un immense succès pour le cinéma roumain #Cannes2026@MAERomania
