Gertruda Elion

 

As a person who gave so much to the world, Gertrude considered her work the only meaning and purpose of life. But, like any living being, Elion was not alien to hobbies — photography, travel, opera, ballet and theater — those joys that a brilliant woman allowed herself. She never married and never became a mother, but was the favorite aunt to her brother’s children.

In 1983, Gertrude Bell officially retired, but at the same time continued to be active as an honorary consulting professor in her company, to which she gave so many fruitful years of her life. In addition, Elion has served as a consultant to the World Health Organization and the American Association for Cancer Research.

In 1988, together with George Hitchins and Sir James Black (1924-2010), Gertrude received the Nobel Prize in Medicine. She has received other awards for her work, including the National Medal of Science in 1991. That same year, she became the first woman inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. In 1997 Gertrude Elion of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was awarded the Lemelson Lifetime Achievement Award

The artist who inspires me

Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky is a Russian and Soviet poet. He considers himself a futurist. In his work, one can meet the denial of already established norms of writing. From the first reading of his poems, it is difficult to understand what exactly the poet wanted to convey. Everyone perceives any work of Mayakovsky in his own way. Mayakovsky, as his program, puts forward a utopian dream of the birth of a super-art capable of transforming the world. Vladimir is very brave, like a poet. He is not afraid to challenge the society that we observe with his poem «And you could.»
Vladimir is ready to give a lot for the sake of warmth and human happiness: “… everything that my soul owns — and her wealth, go kill her! “…everyone wants it—?” Mayakovsky is a very peculiar person as well as a poet. He gave poetry all of himself. He tore his heart out so that he would be better understood, so that you would think more about what he was talking about. used, and kindness, yes, you heard right, kindness, which was hidden somewhere inside the “hulk”, and which Mayakovsky hid from the world.

Armenian Traditions

Armenian traditions developed over centuries as a reflection of the country’s position along the Great Silk Road, location in the rugged Caucasus Mountains and status as the first Christian nation in the world. Through their customs, the resolute Armenian people have managed to preserve their unique identity well into the 21st century.

Armenian Wedding Traditions

Armenian wedding traditions form the basis of one of the most important events in traditional Armenian communities.

The magic begins at the engagement party. After a couple has decided to get married, the groom’s family visits the bride’s family to ask for her hand in marriage. In olden times, the groom would be routinely rejected once or twice before the bride’s family finally said yes.

The wedding day itself starts early in the morning when the groom and his relatives go to the bride’s home with flowers, decorated fruit baskets, sweets, wine, Armenian brandy, shoes and perfume. Upon arrival, they are treated to a delicious feast.

According to one of the oldest wedding traditions in Armenia, the godparents of the groom must pay a ransom for the bride before he is allowed to see her. In another fun tradition still observed at weddings today, one of the bride’s shoes is stolen as she is getting dressed. After long negotiations and joyful bargaining, the shoe is returned to the young lady, often with money inside as a symbol of wealth.

The ceremony at the church is one of the most important Armenian wedding traditions and is followed by a celebration at the bride’s house or a restaurant. Before entering the building, however, the newlyweds must first break plates with their feet.

Armenian weddings are always punctuated with loud music and dancing. One of the most traditional parts of the celebration is a dance called sabbath. During the sabbath dance, guests gather around the bride and slip money into her hands while she dances, an interaction which symbolizes abundance in the newly formed family.

Among the more tangible weddings traditions in Armenia are the small souvenir boxes for guests, called tarosiki. The boxes symbolize love and are personally handed out to single guests by the bride and groom in order to wish their happiness upon the recipients. According to local belief, single girls who receive tarosiki can expect to see their future husband in a dream the following night.

During the wedding celebration, which continues late into the night, guests enjoy delicious food, music and dancing. They all take turns wishing the couple happiness through the recitation of colorful, poetic toasts, the most beloved of which is “May you grow old on one pillow!”

Armenian Funeral traditions

rmenia is a country with a unique mentality, and Armenian traditions are full of pleasant and unexpected surprises. I really hope that many people will see this for themselves.
Funeral traditions in Armenia are rooted in ancient ideas about death and the afterlife. Many Armenians believe that the fate of every person is predetermined, and it is written in invisible ink on the foreheads of everyone who came to this world. In Armenia, this concept of fate is called «chakatagir». According to local beliefs, on the day of death, an angel descends from heaven to earth to take the soul, which leaves the body with the last breath of a person.

Armenian funeral traditions associated with avoiding contact with evil forces are still observed by many people. After death, the clock in the house is stopped, all the mirrors are covered with a cloth, and the hands of the deceased are tied. While the corpse is in the house, no one should wash clothes or work in the garden, as this may attract the attention of the Angel of Death. In addition, since it is considered unsafe to leave the coffin unattended until it has been taken out of the house, someone should sit next to it and ensure that the lit candle continues to burn at the head of the bed.

It is customary to put a coffin lid at the door of the house to inform neighbors and passersby about the death of a family member. In some ways, Armenian funeral rites resemble those of other Orthodox peoples. The priest invited to the house reads a prayer over the deceased and blesses the water for ablution. Before the funeral, which usually takes place on the third day after death, relatives and friends come to the house to say goodbye to the deceased.

According to Armenian funeral traditions, the coffin is wrapped three times counterclockwise, after which each member of the family kisses the hand of the deceased as a sign of respect. Shortly before taking the coffin out of the house, the men lower and raise it three times and hit it three times against the closed front door of the house. It is believed that the Apostle Peter, the «Guardian of the Gates of Heaven», will hear the knock and open the gates of heaven to the departed soul.

After the funeral, all the mourners visit the family of the deceased. Before entering the house, hands and shoes are washed with water or a damp towel. Traditionally, khashlama (stewed lamb with vegetables) and kurkut (wheat groats cooked with lamb or beef), as well as various sweets and fruits, are served at the table. The only alcoholic drinks allowed are vodka or cognac and should be consumed in moderation. Commemoration ceremonies are held on the third, seventh and fortieth days after death, as well as on the first anniversary.

ՊԱՏՄԱԿԱՆ ՎԱՎԵՐԱԳԻՐ

Երբ Գնելը բանակի մեջ մտավ, թագավորին իմաց տվեցին նրա գալուստը։ Ապա արքունիքից հրաման տրվեց` բանակից դուրս պահել նրան և տանել սպանել․..

Նրանք հասան, բռնեցին Գնել պատանուն, ձիուց վեր գցեցին, ձեռքերը ետևը կապեցին և առան տարան գլխատելու տեղը։ Նրա կինը նույն վաշտի մեջ էր իր ամուսնու հետ և եկել էր ժանվարով: Երբ տեսավ, որ իր ամուսնուն բռնեցին ու կապեցին, իսկույն վազեց եկեղեցի, որտեղ բանակի մարդկանց համար աստվածային արարողություն էր կատարվում` առավոտյան աղոթքը, ուր գտնվում էր նաև Ներսես մեծ եպիսկոպոսապետը: Կինը, հասնելով եպիսկոպոսապետի մոտ, գուժում էր իր անմեղ ամուսնու կորուստը: Ճիչ բարձրացրեց` ասելով. «Շտապիր, հասիր, ամուսնուս առանց մեղքի, առանց հանցանքի խողխողում են»: (Իսկ նա) արարողությունն ընդհատելով` վազում է թագավորի սենյակը, դռանը հասնելով ներս է ընկնում թագավորի մոտ: Իսկ թագավորը, երբ տեսավ մեծ եպիսկոպոսապետին, իմանալով, որ եկել է բարեխոսելու և համոզելու, որ Գնելը չսպանվի, սամուրենին գլխին քաշած, շտապով իր երեսը ծածկում է` խռմփացնելով` իբր թե քնած է, որպես թե նրա խոսքերը չի լսում… Իսկ Գնել պատանուն տարան արքունի որսատեղի մոտ և գլխատեցին լեռան մի բլրի վրա, որ Լսին են կոչում…

Ապա հրաման տրվեց թագավորից. բանակում եղող բոլոր մարդիկ` մեծ ու փոքր, առհասարակ առանց բացառության, գնան կոծ անեն ու ողբան սպանված Արշակունի մեծ սեպուհ Գնելին. ոչ ոք չհամարձակվի չգնալ: Ինքը` թագավորն էլ, գնալով լացողների մեջ, նստեց, ողբաց իր եղբորորդուն, որին ինքն սպանեց։ Գնացել նստել էր դիակի մոտ, ինքը լալիս էր և հրամայում էր լաց ու կոծը սաստ- կացնել սպանվածի համար: Իսկ սպանվածի կինը` Փառանձեմը, զգեստները պատառոտած, վարսերը արձակած, կուրծքը բացած, կոծում էր սգատեղում, բարձր ձչում էր, աղիողորմ ողբով ու արտասուքով բոլորին լացացնում էր…

 

 

HISTORICAL DOCUMENT
When Gnel entered the army, the king was informed of his arrival. Then an order was given from the court to keep him out of the army and take him to be killed…

They arrived, caught the boy Ghenel, threw him off the horse, tied his hands behind his back and took him to the place of beheading.

The woman, reaching the archbishop, was grieving the loss of her innocent husband. He shouted, saying: «Hurry, reach, my husband is being strangled without guilt, without a crime.» (And he) interrupting the ceremony, runs to the king’s room, reaches the door and falls in to the king. And the king, when he saw the great archbishop, knowing that he had come to intercede and convince Gnel not to be killed, pulled the samurai over his head, hurriedly covered his face, snoring as if he was asleep, as if he did not hear his words… And the young Gnel was taken to the king. near the hunting ground and beheaded on a hill of the mountain called Lsi…
