โLewis called and offered me the opportunity of a lifetime. To be a passenger in a three-seater Ferrari Formula One car, with him driving! ๐คฏโ
โThe car was from 2005 with a V10 engine. As the run started, 1 was just blown away by the sound and the speed, but I quickly found myself going into 'proud brother mode', where just watched Lewis drive.โ
โEven though he is my brother, I am also a fan, his No. 1 fan and in awe of his talent. Even though he is my brother, I got to experience being driven in a Ferrari Formula One car at the Ferrari F1 test track by the best driver of this generation. What an honour and a privilege. A day and a moment that l will never forget.โ
"MY SON, HOW YOU'VE GROWN... I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE YOU"
Freed from Russian captivity, the Ukrainian border guard saw his son for the first time in a long time.
May every son and daughter await their father from captivity. May every Ukrainian defender return home alive. And may the day come when no Ukrainian child will ever forgive his father during the war.
๐จ | Lewis Hamilton: "To have the two Ferraris second and third is fantastic and a reflection of the amazing work being done back at the factory.โ
"They really are continuing to push. They brought small bits here and worked hard to upgrade the car. It is really starting to pay off.โ

"THE LAWS OF HUMANITY"
In 1940, in the midst of World War II, Italian submarine commander Salvatore Todaro made a decision that is still regarded as one of the most humane acts in the history of naval warfare.
While on combat patrol in the Atlantic Ocean, his submarine, Comandante Cappellini, sank the Belgian merchant ship Kabalo.
According to the laws of war, everything should have ended there. The submarine was expected to dive immediately and leave the area. Remaining on the surface meant risking the lives of the crew and jeopardizing the entire mission.
But Todaro saw something else. Among the wreckage in the cold ocean were people fighting for their lives.
Sailors. Shipwreck survivors. Men with little chance of being rescued in time.
He did what no one expected. He ordered the submarine to surface and take as many survivors aboard as possible. There was not enough room for everyone, so some had to remain in a lifeboat. Then Todaro went even further: he ordered the lifeboat to be tied to the submarine and began towing it toward a safe shore.
For several days, the submarine traveled almost defenseless โ slowly, on the surface, constantly risking detection and attack. Crew members reminded their commander that he was endangering the entire operation for the sake of men who had been the enemy only hours earlier.
Todaro's reply became legendary:
"They are not enemies now. They are sailors."
After delivering the survivors safely and handing them over to local authorities, the submarine resumed its military mission.
More than 80 years have passed. Countries, borders, and wars have changed.
Yet this story reminds us of something important: even in the darkest times, a person remains human. Sometimes a single act speaks of true greatness far more than any victory on the battlefield.
For there are the laws of war.
And then there are the laws of humanity.
And it is those that are remembered the longest.
251 years of defending America's freedom, and we're just getting started.

Liviu Librescu (1930โ2007) was a aerospace engineer and professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics at Virginia Tech.
Born in Romania, he endured persecution as a Jewish child during World War II. At age 76, during the shooting in Norris Hall, he used his body to barricade the classroom door while the shooter fired through it.
This gave his students time to escape through the windows. All but one of his students survived; Librescu was killed.

#memorial_civilians
The 41-year-old medical worker Tatyana Levina was killed on March 12 2022 by Russian shelling in Mariupol. The woman shielded herself with a pregnant neighbor.
Tatyana lived on Zelinski Street. At the time of the Russian attack, she was near her apartment building...
"Mom died from shrapnel wounds to her lower limbs. She shielded herself with a pregnant woman, saving the lives of both her and the unborn child. She died like a true heroine," - wrote her daughter Marina.
Tatyana worked at Maternity Hospital No. 3. She loved her job very much and always helped people.
The last post on Tatyana's social media page was about the fact that their hospital continues to operate despite the lack of electricity and heating.
"I'm very proud of my mom. But it also hurts a lot. She left us so early. We miss her so much. For me, she will now be the brightest star in the sky. I will always love her," - wrote her daughter.
