Regardless of whether a wedding is a faith based ceremony or a secular ceremony, there are a number of traditional persuits that are generally present. The ones customs are a way for the families and friends to assemble and enjoy the newlyweds’ marriage. With regards to the ethnic traditions of the family, these persuits may vary. For instance , in some civilizations, pinning funds on a bride’s dress has changed into a common wedding custom. Originally, pinning money was obviously a tradition in Greece and it has become more widespread in recent years.
A second wedding customized is called La Hora Loca. This Latinx wedding custom is usually performed between the wedding and the reception. Guests may line the road to greet the newlyweds or hammer pots and confetti. The newlyweds may then depart using a big excitement.
Other wedding customs derive from the practices of the couple’s religion. For instance , within a Muslim marriage, the groom may be dressed in a traditional Muslim attire, while the bride might be dressed in a Western fit. In Indian culture, the bride wear red clothing and white apparel symbolize widowhood. The groom may also be dressed up in a local costume.
In Southerly Asian marriage ceremonies, the bride’s family is going to steal the groom’s shoes. This tradition is a old one, nonetheless it is still practiced in some countries. Some other wedding customized is to give the bride’s spouse and children a magical dollar like a wedding treat. This is supposed to bring good luck to the newlyweds. However , if the silver antique dollar is certainly spent, the couple can experience financial hardship. In some countries, the bride and groom are also offered candy protected almonds.
Another wedding custom is called a “paja” or “paebaek”. This is certainly a gift that is given to the bride’s father and mother and intimate relatives. The paja usually includes a glass of wine beverage, chestnuts, and also other goods that happen to be intended to provide the couple’s new residence. Traditionally, the paebaek is normally held a couple of days following your official wedding service. However , it can also be held several times before the service.
In some areas of France, the marriage ceremony is certainly followed by a late-night ritual called the hora. The hora can be described as circle dance. The group of friends is performed at the door of the bride’s family home. In a few regions, the hora is usually held outside the bride’s residence. In other folks, it is scheduled inside the bride’s home. Generally, the bride’s family will block the access to the groom’s home. In a few countries, guests might gather outside the newlyweds’ house and kakanda pots and confetti. This can be a fun method to celebrate the newlyweds.
In some areas, the bride and groom will probably be invited into a meal reception. This is a regular way for the families to thank the guests for attending the wedding and to celebrate the newlyweds. The meals is often followed by dancing. A few regions have got a tradition female order bride called “the cake pull. ” That’s where the bride and groom pull laces and ribbons out of your cake. This kind of tradition is usually popular in the South, and has distinctive meaning.

How To Make Your Unique Jewelry Pop
If you’re wearing your jewelry, but it’s hiding under layers of clothes or your clothing patterns are too busy, you’re missing out on the opportunity to make your jewelry a focal point. While some jewelry is meant to blend into your outfit, here at Real Chic Boutique, our unique jewelry designs are meant to be shown off! If you’re looking for affordable women’s jewelry that also allows you to own artisan earrings and handcrafted necklaces, you’ll love the handmade jewelry we create here at Real Chic Boutique. And if you’re curious about how to style your outfits so that your jewelry really pops, keep reading!
Make Your Unique Jewelry Designs Pop
Your Necklace Guideline
Layers - Necklaces can be fun to layer—adding different shapes and lengths together for a spirited look. But only layer a few strands and try to stay within the same color family with your different strands.
Accents - If your shirt or dress has an open neckline or a solid color, this is the time to add an accent that is glitzy and eye-catching.
Solo Statement - Chokers are the perfect item to wear and make a statement with without having to wear any other jewelry.
Frame Your Face With Earrings
Studs - If you’d rather make a statement with your clothes, studs are the way to go as an everyday item that can work with any outfit. Diamond studs are classic and can go with almost any outfit.
Dangle And Drop - If you’d like to make your earrings really pop, use dangle and drop earrings to make a statement. For particularly long earrings, limit your other jewelry to make your earrings the only focal item.
Accentuate Your Arms
Mix Materials - Try wearing a few different types of bracelets on your arm at once. Mix shapes and colors that complement each other but don’t mix more than two or three different types of bracelets.
Know When Enough Is Enough
It can be tempting to want to pair a shiny ring with a colorful bracelet and a chunky necklace, but downplaying other accessories so that one really stands out is the way to go. Pick one piece that you want to make a statement with, and pick your other jewelry to complement that item instead of having them compete for attention. If you want your handcrafted necklace to stand out, think about wearing minimal earrings or bracelets.
Pick Your Clothes Wisely
A patterned dress can be fun and grab attention, but if you’re going to pair jewelry with the dress, thin pieces work best, whereas ornate pieces would make it so that there is too much going on and people will have a hard time enjoying your outfit as a whole.
Beware Of Costume JewelryCostume jewelry can be fun and add a lot to your outfit. However, be sure you don’t buy costume jewelry that is too cheap. Anything that is trying to imitate the real deal can come off as cheesy, as opposed to classy, if you’re not careful.
For the unique jewelry designs you need to make your jewelry the focal point of your outfit, shop the women’s handmade jewelry from Real Chic Boutique!

Koo is moving to become India’s own Twitter; Koo also got an “Aatma Nirbhar App” title from Indians. PM Modi in “Mann Ki Baat” mentioned the Koo app and suggested using this Made in India app. Koo was launched in March 2020 by Aparameya Radhakrishna and Mayank Bidawatka.
Koo app got viral in mid-argument between the Indian Govt and Twitter when Twitter denied government orders of blocking provocative Hashtags and accounts, making those hashtags viral.
Koo App Trends Twitter:
Indian have gone furious for koo app. After creating a Koo account, people started promoting it on various social media, especially Twitter; more than 24 hours, there were hashtags on the Twitter trending page; #KooApp and #BanTwitter.
When Koo went viral on social media, many Twitter users tweeting that the Koo app has Chinese inventors. Thus the Koo app is neither “Aatma Nirbhar App” nor Made in India.
Must Read: Comparison between Twitter and KOO App
Now coming to the point, does the Koo app funded by the Chinese? Before developing Koo, founders made an app called vokal. On 10th February CEO of the Koo app, Aprameya tweeted regarding the funding of Koo and Vokal. Koo does not have any investors from China; he added that their previous app Vokal has findings from Shunwei, a Chinese investor, but the Chinese have nothing to do with the Koo app.
Who Invested in Koo App:
The question is remains unanswered that from which country is the Koo app getting investment?
Koo received $4.1 Million on 4 February 2021 from five investors, which are the following:
|3one4 Capital||4 Feb 2021||Banglore, Karnataka||Early Stage VC|
|Blume Ventures||4 Feb 2021||Mumbai, Maharastra||Early Stage VC|
|Kalaari Capital||4 Feb 2021||Banglore, Karnataka||Early Stage VC|
|Accel||4 Feb 2021||United States||Early Stage VC|
|Dream Incubator||4 Feb 2021||Tokyo, Japan||Early Stage VC|
Read Aprameya Radhakrishna Tweet Here –
In the above list, three out of five investors are from India; the remaining two are from Japan and the USA. Koo app got all these findings on the same day, 4 February this year, and fundraised on that day was $4.1 Million. Co-founder and CEO of the Koo app said that they are focusing on Koo rather than Vokal.

From The Philadelphia Inquirer, 6/23/2012
Lots of people know how to construct buildings. Chris Donna knows how to deconstruct them. “Given enough time,” he said, “I can completely take a building apart, in reverse from the process in which it was built. I could save every single nail that comes out of it.”
But Donna, one of the owners of Provenance in Northern Liberties, usually isn’t given enough time as he attempts to dismantle crumbling churches, warehouses, and hospitals.
“A lot of times, people don’t want to admit that a building needs to come down until it’s too late,” he said. “So then it gets to the point where the building is unsafe or there’s financial issues, and the building has to come down very quickly.”
This is the world of architectural salvage, a treasure hunt made glamorous by TV shows like American Pickers and trendy by an environmentally conscious class of young urban homeowners. It encompasses endless drive-by appraisals of shuttered warehouses in the hope that an owner will show up and let them inside; the adrenaline-pumping suspense of sifting through the unknown; the perils of urban exploration, and the occasional 3 a.m. meetings with Ralph Lauren buyers willing to pay $5,000 for a haul of dusty old piano covers.
This obsession-cum-business has taken Donna and his partners into the depths of the Divine Lorraine Hotel (the “holy grail” of Philly salvage at one time, according to partner Bob Beaty) to extract toothbrush holders and chandeliers; to Independence Mall where they’d been called in to pry up 600 marble slabs, and deep into the innards of dozens of churches, seminaries, and factories condemned or razed to make way for condos or rehabbed into Buddhist temples. (While curbside finds and Dumpster debris are fair game, Donna and his competitors typically take materials on private property only with permission. Theft occurs, of course, but Donna said businesses like his are legitimate ones, operating strictly within the law.)
“The thing about reclaimed material,” Donna said, “is it’s all around you, so you just have to open your eyes and see it.”
Salvage, he pointed out, isn’t new to Philadelphia: Many turn-of-the-century Main Line mansions featured interiors imported from older European estates. But in the last decade or so, he said, it has crept into the mainstream.
Chris Stock, the owner of Philadelphia Salvage, began tracking down reclaimed material for his construction company about seven years ago, and now sells it out of his West Mount Airy shop. It started, he said, when he began noticing the waste all around him. “I would see someone throw out a door or whatever and I would think, ‘It’s such a great door. I can totally use that for a client’s home.’ Then I would see them knocking down old homes, and I would see they were just destroying all the vintage subway tile in the bathrooms.”
Soon enough, contractors and demolition companies got to know him, Stock said: “I’m the guy that wants their stuff they’d normally throw away. But back then I’d get it for free, and now I’d have to pay for it because they all know it has value.”
Architectural salvage is still rare enough that there are deals (and almost steals) to be had. Stock recently picked up an “amazing” fireplace mantel for free from a property owner who didn’t know what he was tossing out; he sold it for $1,200. But with more competition among a growing number of salvagers and pickers, that’s becoming less common.
So it becomes a game partly about networking — “you have to get the message out there,” said Donna, to contractors, to the city, to preservationists, and to property owners — and partly about sheer persistence and keen curiosity.
Stock said he frequently makes his way to little-traveled corners of the city, peering into old buildings and leaving his card in doors. “I’ve been driving by this one building for years and finally, one day, the gates are open,” he recalled. “So I pull over and introduce myself and make a deal.” It paid off: The five-story North Philly tool factory yielded a bumper crop of industrial lighting, wood floors, fire doors, metal pallets, and other “tchotchkes.”
The tools of this trade: “Flashlight, a spelunking light on your head — and a weapon of some sort, like a hammer or a gun or knife.”
Yes, a weapon. It’s not the safest career choice. Stock once received a call to grab what he could from a building that was to be demolished the next day. The five-story warehouse just next door was already in the process of demolition — and it partly collapsed while his crew was on the scene. Another time, he received permission to go into the Budd Co. car and train body factory at Hunting Park and Wissahickon, and found a different danger: “There’s people in there stealing copper. When you walk in the door, you take a hammer out and beat it on metal to announce you’re there, and they scurry out the back like cockroaches.”
Once he does negotiate a haul, the risk is also financial. Boards can splinter when you try to pull them up, or hidden rot could lurk underneath.
But it can be worth the hunt. When Stock recently bought some old wooden barrels, the owner said he’d have to take the 60-year-old pieces of fabric stuffed inside them, too. Those ended up being $5,000 piano covers, soon to live again as Ralph Lauren denim wear. At another factory, in Germantown, Stock hauled away 200 heavy round knitting-machine bases for $10 apiece — and ended up selling each for around $400 or $500 as bases for dining tables.
Other items come to dealers like Stock and Donna through ad hoc Dumpster diving, purchases from professional and amateur pickers, and tag sales or auctions of newly shuttered office buildings or hospitals. (In these cases, everything must go, and it does: Brian Lawlor, owner of Mid-Century Furniture Warehouse in Fishtown, said he once sold at auction a morgue table from a Pittsburgh hospital that had been dismantled.)
Still, not everyone is hunting for treasure. Joe Malseed, who launched his Fishtown business Retrend Philly last year, just likes the idea of reuse and sees the potential for greatness in old floorboards, joists, and rafters. A carpenter who sometimes helps friends rehab Philly rowhouses, he began taking home the discards to make wine racks, picture frames, window boxes, and dining room sets.
Like a chef preaching snout-to-tail cooking, Malseed doesn’t believe in waste. “When I go into a house, I’m taking everything. It’s so in demand right now.”
A year into his business, he now gets calls from demolition companies eager to avoid disposal costs — and from local residents and businesses, hungry for decor with character and perhaps for a story to go with it.
Donna said the gospel of reclaimed goods — and their versatility, for use in modern design or traditional context — is spreading.
“For a long time, Americans were addicted to this idea of the new-car smell,” he said. “Now, people are looking at things that have age and texture and history.”
Still, like Malseed, Donna often finds it’s necessary to perform the alchemy of restoring or reimagining for his customers. “We’ve focused a lot on how you can process something: How can you turn a sidewalk into a countertop; how do you turn a countertop into wood flooring? How can you turn light fixtures into furniture?”
Given the time the owners spend on marketing (not to mention scavenging and restoring), Provenance is able to take in less than one-tenth of the materials available to it.
Mark Charry, the owner of Architectural Antiques Exchange in Northern Liberties, said he has the same experience. “There’s a lot of low-end stuff out there and the dealers can’t absorb that many doors and moldings. There’s stuff being thrown away every day.”

Steven Wilson - To The Bone
by Finn Dickinson
Having fortified a 30-year career in progressive metal, krautrock and ambient music, Steven Wilson was always a bit of a stalking horse for a #1 spot in the charts. Surprisingly, not one of his concept albums about serial killers, ghosts or social isolation has brought him much commercial success. Yet incredibly, the 49-year old purveyor of some of Britain’s best experimental and progressive music has finally produced a pop album which has managed to buck the trend. The (briefly) #1 record is an enormous success, and as he sits down for his interview on BBC Breakfast, Wilson looks genuinely surprised. “Insane, I know. It’s crazy.”
The interview begins with a snippet from Wilson’s latest single, Permanating, which he described as “the most joyous piece of pure pop I’ve ever recorded”. Over three-and-a-half minutes, Permanating unravels itself as a crash course in the pop music archetype, recalling almost all of its phases, from its sentimental 60s heyday to the full-bodied production and unfiltered zeal of its modern form. For all the 12-minute progressive epics sequestered in Wilson’s oeuvre, Permanating stands out as a marvellous piece of barebones pop, which is why it’s somewhat surprising that the first question he’s asked is “So what is prog rock?”.
If Wilson was irked by this question, it (fortunately) didn’t show. He’s perhaps the first prog musician in a decade or two to be given a spot on mainstream television, and thereby a chance to expound the tenets and merits of the style. Getting annoyed at his hosts would likely be the final nail in the genre’s coffin, condemning prog to be perpetually considered as music by stuffy elitists for stuffy elitists - a stereotype which To The Bone does everything in its power to dispel.
So, to sum up so far - it’s a good thing Steven Wilson didn’t end up antagonising the hosts of his interview live on air.
Far from being elitist, the record may be the most accessible Wilson has ever written. Nowhere Now is his first song in half a decade to follow a conventional song structure, and this approach only serves to highlight the succession of endearing melodies woven throughout. Similar charms abound through the album - gorgeous swells of strings elevate the rousing singalong finale to Same Asylum as Before, whilst a captivating orchestral midsection lends further weight to the murky, brooding depths of Song of I. The finale of the LP, Song of Unborn, is perhaps its emotional centrepiece. As it slowly builds to a well-earned climax, complete with ambient pulses and choral apexes, Wilson’s ode to life and his chants of “don’t be afraid to die / don’t be afraid to be alive” become more and more affirming.
No Steven Wilson LP would be complete without some ambitious tracks. Refuge extracts an impressive emotional heft from just a few simple chords, before culminating in a staggeringly cathartic amalgam of harmonica, guitar and synthesiser. It’s the perfect accompaniment to Wilson’s passionate documentation of the plight of Syrian refugees. Stylistically opposed but equal in catharsis is the punkish sneer of People Who Eat Darkness. The track recalls early-2000’s Porcupine Tree, and Wilson practically snarls over a series of acerbic riffs and driving percussion as he explores humanity’s helplessness in perceiving the malady of terrorist ideology before it begins to spread.
The progressive highpoint of the record comes with its penultimate offering, Detonation. Beginning with stumbling electronic beats and minimal guitar arpeggi, the track soon traverses a real breadth of musical terrain, combining the graceful echoes of haunted string sections with the faint rumblings of trip-hop atmospherics. It intersperses some borderline metal riffs before a fantastic transition into 80s art-pop pastiche and a towering guitar solo to end the masterfully-crafted epic.
It must be said that To The Bone’s approach is partly inconsistent. One of the record’s central themes is the idea of truth as something malleable and subjective, with multiple sides to each story. The title track laments the imparting of personal truths as all-encompassing ones, whilst Blank Tapes describes the very different truths held by two people in the same relationship.
For all this broadmindedness, it’s frustrating that Refuge and Detonation come across as somewhat facile. Wilson considers these songs personal rather than political, but despite the far-reaching nature of their messages, his musings cannot help but have a political flavour to them. Wilson has failed to consider alternative sides to either of these stories, which is a little disappointing for an LP ostensibly exploring the flexibility of truth. Nevertheless, by subverting the format of progressive music, Steven Wilson may have redeemed the future of prog rock. I certainly hope so.

Today, the name Mickey Thompson brings to mind
by：Tanco Tire,Timax Tyre 2020-09-05
He was a talented driver but what really has kept his name at the forefront of the racing world is his ability to serve as a skilled automobile technician. He did not just drive cars; he made them better. He is the person who designed the slingshot dragster, moving a seat so that he could effectively increase traction and ultimately speed.
The first American to break the 400mph barrier, he continued to make different modifications to different types of vehicles, owned a famous drag strip and designed championship cars. In 1963, he parlayed his popularity and prowess into his own brand, Mickey Thompson performance tires. Henceforth, the name Mickey Thompson became known for performance tires, including those used by Indianapolis 500 competitors.
Mickey Thompson is also credited with bringing racing to the forefront by founding a governing body for the sport and for helping get motocross and off-road races into stadiums and away from off-road venues. This increased the visibility of the sport and led to today's famous mammoths such as Bigfoot. Indeed, it does not seem a huge stretch to thank Mickey Thompson for starting a movement that would eventually peak with the X Games, where motocross is a star sport.
Unfortunately, the Mickey Thompson legend has a sad ending. The visionary and his wife were murdered in 1988. A former business partner of Mickey was eventually charged with the murders and convicted. The murders have been the subject of many TV documentaries and though Mickey Thompson is no longer living, his legend lives on. He was posthumously awarded inclusion into the Motorsports Hall of Fame and Automobile Hall of Fame, which may not have existed today without his influence. He also has been recognized as one of the top drivers of all time.
Today, his legacy lives on in Mickey Thompson wheels and tires. With a spirit that was made for speed, Thompson inspired others to go as fast and as far as possible. Those who elect to place Mickey Thompson tires on their vehicles remember that spirit and honor it.

We have organized this post into 5 sections, one for each of the most popular neighborhoods for visitors to Lisbon and an additional section to cover some of the other fun things to do in this city.
Before we get into the activities and attractions you can enjoy in each neighborhood, let’s go over some of the best ways to save money and see the sights in Lisbon
Take a Free Walking Tour
Lisbon can be difficult to navigate if you aren’t familiar with the area, so you may want to consider taking a tour to become more acclimated with the city and learn about its history.
We offer free, self-guided tours for each of the neighborhoods listed below and we link to these tours in each respective section.
There are however several free tours you can take which will provide a general overview of Lisbon. These services really are pay-what-you-wish, which means you can decide how much it was worth at the end of the tour (even free).
For more information, please read our post covering free Lisbon walking tours.
Ride the Trams and Funiculars
There are some pretty steep hills in Lisbon, so you’ll probably want to make use of the public trams and funiculars in the city to get around.
Here are a few of the most notable trams and funiculars:
- Ascensor da Glória
- Ascensor do Lavra
- Ascensor da Bica
- Tram 28E
Tram 28E is noted for being one of the best trams for tourists, as it provides a variety of notable stops throughout several neighbourhoods in Lisbon, including many excellent examples from our lists in this post.
More likely than not you will be purchasing a transport pass and essentially making these rides free, otherwise they only cost between €3 - €4 per ride.
Save Money With the Lisboa Card
Many of the attractions listed in this post are actually included at no additional cost with the Lisboa Card, a tourist attraction discount pass you can use to save money on general admission costs.
This service also provides a free transport card for the length of time that the tourist pass is valid (1, 2, or 3 days), and it covers every form of public transportation in the city.
Here are just a few of the locations you can visit with the Lisboa Card:
- Belém Tower | €6
- National Pantheon | €4
- LISBOA Story Centre | €7

As long as you use it for at least 3-4 activities per day, you should be able to get a great discount.
For more details, please read our post covering Lisbon tourist passes.
This district of Lisbon is also known as “low town,” as it is located at the bottom of all the hills. This is the city’s tourism core and it's where many first time visitors choose to stay.
We have created a list of the top sights to see in the Baixa, which also acts as a free self-guided tour.
Go to Praça do Comércio
Also known as Commerce Square, this plaza is located right alongside the Tagus river, which makes it one of the most popular meeting spots in all of Lisbon.
There are a variety of things to see here, including the most visible landmark at the center of the square, a statue of King Jose I on horseback.
Praça do Comércio was once the former site of a royal palace, but it was unfortunately destroyed during an earthquake in 1755.
While most of the nearby buildings have since become used for a variety of businesses, they still maintain some of the nicest architecture in the entire city.
Visit the Money Museum
This relatively new museum showcases the concept of money and how it has been used throughout human history, as well as revealing its role in Portugal’s historical development.
In addition to learning about how money came to exist in the world, you can also virtually mint a coin, print a banknote with your face, and use a microscope to see what money looks like close up.
Contrary to its name, this museum is actually entirely free to visit and is open from 10:00 am - 18:00 (6 pm).
The Money Museum is housed in the former church of S. Julião, which is just a few blocks away from both Praça do Comércio and Arco da Rua Augusta.
See King Dinis’ Wall
Located in the crypt of the former church of S. Julião, this is one attraction you definitely won’t want to miss while you’re at the Money Museum.
King Dinis’ Wall has been designated a national monument, and it’s the last known remnant of Lisbon’s medieval wall.
In total there are several objects, images, and sounds covering over 1,000 years of Portugal’s history.
After the earthquake of 1755, it was thought that much of this wall and many other items from the royal palace were lost, but during an excavation in 2010 they managed to find what you’ll see here.
In addition to the artifacts, there are also a variety of multimedia presentations including medieval music, 3D animations, films and more. Needless to say, admission is free!
Hop on the Elevador de Santa Justa
There are some pretty steep hills in Lisbon, and one of them is so difficult to climb that they actually crafted an elevator to help people reach the top.
The Elevador de Santa Justa climbs 46 m (150 feet) from Baixa to Bairro Alto (which translate to ‘low’ and ‘high’ towns) and it was built in 1902.
Despite its age, it remains in use to this day and is quite safe.
The view from the platform is free, but if you will have to pay to reach the top viewing platform (€1.50) or ride the elevator (€5.40 round trip).
You can hop on the free modern elevators nearby instead, or if you use the Lisboa Card or a transport pass, you’ll be given free access to the Elevador de Santa Justa!
Go to the Museum of Design and Fashion
Also known as the MUDE Museum, this attraction is focused on the artwork of fashion and industrial design.
According to some, they have the best collection of 20th-century fashion in all of Europe!
Over 2,000 items are housed in this collection, including a variety of clothing, jewelry, furnishings, and even historic typewriters.
They also have some displays which change on a regular basis, giving you a reason to come back for a second or even third visit!
The Museum of Design is entirely free to visit, and they are open from Tuesday through Sunday every week.
Visit the Núcleo Arqueológico da Rua dos Correeiros
Lisbon is a city filled with history, but few locations will take you back further than this underground excavation which uncovered archeological remains dating back over 2,000 years!
During the 1990s, an excavation was performed under Portugal’s Millennium BCP bank, and during the process, they found items from pre-Roman times.
These artifacts remain carefully preserved and displayed thanks to the bank, and you can actually take a tour of the dig and see what they found for yourself.
Tours are free and available Monday through Saturday with the exception of public holidays. It is recommended to book your tour at least a day or two in advance to avoid missing out.
Go to the Church of St. Dominic
This is one of the oldest standing churches in Lisbon, dating back to the year 1241, and noted for having survived the earthquake of 1755 that demolished the royal palace.
While a fire in 1959 destroyed and charred the interior of the church, the building itself remains intact after all these years, as does much of the original Baroque architecture.
In addition to the church itself, St. Dominic’s Square is yet another popular draw in the area where Lisbon’s African community gathers on a daily basis.
Other Things to Do in Baixa
In addition to the examples we have covered above, you may also want to consider some of these activities or attractions as well:
- World’s Oldest Book Store (Bertrand)
- Take a Self-Guided Tour
- Calçada Portuguesa (pavements)
- Ascensor da Glória Funicular
- Ascensor do Lavra Funicular
- Arco da Rua Augusta
- Praça da Figueira
- Terreiro do Paço
- Rossio Square
Sometimes you have to ascend a few hills if you want to get the best views.
And there are plenty of great places to see the rest of the city in Bairro Alto, as well as some of the most notable historic landmarks in all of Lisbon.
This section includes a variety of fun things to see and do for free in the Barrio Alto neighbourhood, otherwise known as “high town.”
Be sure to access our neighbourhood guide, which also serves as a free, self-guided tour.
Ride the Funiculars to Reach Bairro Alto
If you’re looking for an easy way to climb the steep hills of Lisbon to the Barrio Alto neighbourhood, there are two funiculars that should help: Elevador da Gloria and Elevador da Bica.
While these aren’t necessarily free to ride, they are usually very cheap (€1 - €3 per ticket).
The Gloria funicular will take you from Restauradores Square in Baixa to Rua San Pedro de Alcántara in Bairro Alto.
The Bica funicular runs up Rua da Bica de Duarte Belo, also helping people ascend the hills and reach Calçada do Combro from Rua de São Paulo.
Alternatively, you can also take Tram 28 to reach Bairro Alto, and this tram will also connect you with many other neighborhoods in the city including Afalma, Chiado, Baixa and more.
Enjoy the View From Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara
There are a lot of great places to get a nice look at the city of Lisbon, but few locations offer as beautiful of a view as Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara.
From here you’ll be able to see sites such as the castle hill and walls, Baixa, Alfama, the Se Cathedral, the Tagus river, Martim Moniz, Mouraria and many other sites.
There are also telescopes available for anyone who wants to get an even better look at Lisbon and its many beautiful landmarks.
Visit Igreja de São Roque
Built in the late 16th century, this church is an excellent example of the baroque architectural style, and there are many beautiful chapels inside including the Chapel of St. John the Baptist.
This is yet another notable structure that managed to survive the earthquake of 1755, and it actually made it through the disaster somewhat unscathed.
Whether or not you’re religious, this is definitely one of the best landmarks to see in the Bairro Alto neighbourhood, especially if you’re interested in art or architectural history.
See the Carmo Convent Ruins
There are a lot of notable sites that survived the earthquake of 1755, but this convent is one location that wasn’t so lucky.
Thankfully, much of the building still exists, but it no longer serves the same functions as before.
At the time the earthquake hit, this was actually the largest church in Lisbon, but sadly the roof collapsed after the disaster and all that remains are the arches and rubble.
Despite the fact that the building was ruined, it has since been turned into an open-air museum which includes several statues, ceramics, mosaics and even the tomb of King Ferdinand I.
This museum isn’t free to visit, but tickets are affordable – and they are included for free with the Lisboa Card.
See the View at the Elevador de Santa Justa
We mentioned this landmark earlier, but we really need to stress the great views from the top. Click on the image below to see a 360-degree panoramic.
You can access for a small fee of €1.50. If you are riding the elevator down, there is another view almost as good included in the price.
TIP: In the high season, there could be an hour-long wait for the viewing platform. As of March 2020, you can skip the line by walking to the platform from the Carmo Convent Ruins.
Enjoy the Nightlife for Free
Bairro Alto has plenty of great restaurants and bars which often host musicians on most nights, and some of them don’t even have a cover charge!
Some of these locations specialize in Fado shows, and while they may charge for entrance, you can usually hear them from outside when walking by.
Simply walking through the streets of Bairro Alto after the sun goes down can be a fun experience, as you’ll often hear a variety of music and see plenty of interesting people.
That said, if you’re particularly interested in experiencing the unique tunes of Portugal, consider heading into Tasca do Chico for live Fado music that won’t cost a thing to enjoy!
Other Things to Do in Bairro Alta/Chiado
In addition to all of the activities listed above, here are a few more ideas you might want to consider while spending time in the Bairro Alta/Chiado neighbourhoods of Lisbon.
- Pharmacy Museum (cheap)
- Views from the Park Bar (cheap)
- Take a Free Walking Tour
- Museum of Contemporary Art (cheap)
- Visit Loja das Conservas
- Museum of Sacred Art
- Visit Embaixada
Located on the eastern side of Lisbon, this district is home to some of the most historic landmarks in the whole city, as well as some interesting museums and excellent views of the rest of the city.
The Alfama is what many think of when they think of Lisbon, small, tight, winding cobblestone roads, laundry lines, and beautiful tile work.
Use our neighborhood guide to get a sense of the area and where to go. It is a free, self-guided tour.
See the Miradouros of Alfama
There are a lot of great places to enjoy an excellent view of Lisbon, but three of the best Miradouros are actually in the Alfama neighbourhood.
One of the best scenic spots is Miradouro das Portas do Sol, which provides an incredible view of the city, including a great look at the São Vicente de Fora Monastery and the waterfront.
Miradouro de Santa Luzia
Another excellent option is the Miradouro de Santa Luzia, which is actually just a few steps away. Visitors can enjoy views of various beautiful architecture in Lisbon, as well as the Tagus river.
Finally, consider checking out the Miradouro de Graça, located above São Vicente de Fora Monastery and accessible by Tram 28. This viewing deck offers great views of the castle and Alfama.
Each of these locations is entirely free to visit!
Discover the Se Cathedral
This is arguably one of the most iconic religious buildings in all of Lisbon, as it has been the site of many baptisms, marriages and other events in the lives of Portugal’s nobility since the 12th-century.
Many note upon the first inspection that the Se Cathedral actually looks more like a castle from outside as if designed to withstand battle.
The structure has not one, but two large clock towers and the interior is filled with a variety of decorative altars, medieval statues, cloisters, and alcoves.
While it’s free to visit the main cathedral, some areas will require a ticket – but admission prices are fairly reasonable.
Go to the Museum of Resistance and Liberation (Cadeia do Aljube)
Dig deep into the history of Portugal at this museum and former prison to learn about how the country fought against dictatorship and eventually liberated itself.
The Museum of Resistance and Liberation, located near the Se Cathedral, houses both a permanent exhibition and temporary exhibits which frequently change every few months.
Although most adults will require a ticket, admission is quite affordable and there are discounts for both young adults (13-25) and senior citizens (65+). 12 and younger are free.
Visit the Thieves Market
Although this location has colloquially been given a rather dubious title, Feira da Ladra is actually just a flea market where you can find a lot of random knick-knacks on sale.
If you’re looking for a unique trinket or souvenir to bring home from Lisbon, this is a great marketplace to visit.
The flea market is held every Tuesday and Saturday from dawn till the afternoon.
Even if you don’t feel like spending any money, chances are you’ll find quite a few interesting things for sale here and it’s a great place to experience some of the lesser-seen cultural traditions in Portugal.
The so-called “Thieves Market” takes place at Campo de Santa Clara (map) and you can reach this site via Tram 28.
Get Lost in the Labyrinthian Streets
The streets of Alfama can be a bit difficult to navigate, but sometimes it’s fun to just walk around and see what you can find.
You never know what random restaurant or store you’ll find while wandering around these often narrow and interesting roads.
In addition to the various businesses, you may also stumble upon a variety of different architectural styles including classic Portuguese tiling, cobblestone stairways and more.
Travel Through Alfama on Tram 28E or Tram 12E
If you’re looking for a convenient way to get around Alfama and see the sites, Tram 28E and Tram 12E are excellent and affordable options you should definitely consider.
These trams stop at 2 of the most popular landmarks in the area: the Se Cathedral and Portas do Sol.
Admission is affordable and it’s actually included with at least one Lisbon tourist pass!
Other Things to Do in Alfama
If you’re looking for even more to do in this neighbourhood, there are still several great ideas for activities and attractions you can enjoy while in Alfama, including the following:
- Take a self-guided tour
- See the Statue at the Church of St. Anthony
- Go to the Roman Theatre Museum (cheap and free for kids)
- See the National Tile Museum (free for kids 12 and under)
- Go to the Fado Museum (free for kids 12 and under)
- See the Sao Vicente de Fora Monastery
- Visit the National Pantheon
- And more!
Originally the site of Lisbon’s docks and shipyards, this district is now the home of several notable and historic landmarks, as well as some great museums, parks, plazas, and excellent views.
Be sure to read our guide on things to do in Belém, which doubles as a free, self-guided tour.
Visit the Belem Tower
This is easily the most popular and notable site in the Belém district, and it’s not hard to see why, as this tower once guarded Lisbon’s harbor.
Belém Tower was also the location where many voyages of discovery embarked, a symbol of Portugal’s age of discovery. Built in 1515, the structure has been listed as a World Heritage monument.
In addition to the fantastic architecture, there are also several great sculptures on display ranging from historical figures to rare and exotic animals.
Admission is pretty affordable, but if you want to save some money, it’s worth noting that tickets are included with at least one Lisbon tourist pass.
Go to the Jerónimos Monastery
Located at the Praça do Império, this landmark is one of the most beautifully designed structures in all of Lisbon, with several interesting sculptural details.
The Jerónimos Monastery was originally built to commemorate the voyage of Vasco Da Gama, whose tomb was placed inside near the entrance.
There are several other notable figures from throughout the history of Portugal buried at this monastery, including King Manuel, King Sebastião and many others.
Although it’s free to enter the chapel, the monastery itself will require a ticket. Thankfully, you can save money on admission by using a Lisbon tourist pass.
See the Padrão dos Descobrimentos
Otherwise known as the Monument of the Discoveries, this large sculpture is almost impossible to miss.
Located on the northern bank of the Tagus river, this attraction celebrates the age of discovery in Portugal.
During the age in question, Portuguese sailors would travel the world visiting locations like India and the Orient to explore and trade with other countries.
This monument is also at the Praça do Império, and it is roughly 52 metres (170 ft.) high.
It depicts historic figures such as Henry the Navigator, as well as several monarchs, explorers, cartographers, and other notable people from the 15th and 16th centuries.
Tickets to reach its viewpoint are very affordable and admission is actually free for all children under the age of 12. You can also save money on tickets by using a Lisbon tourist pass.
Visit the Garden of Alfonso de Albuquerque
Located near the Belem Palace and the National Coach Museum, this garden/public square is one place you’ll definitely want to see while exploring the neighborhood.
One of the first things you’ll notice here is the Albuquerque monument, which was erected in honor of Alfonso de Albuquerque, governor of Portuguese from 1507 - 1515.
In addition to seeing the monument and taking in the nearby sites, this location is also notable because several free tours start from the Garden of Alfonso de Albuquerque.
Best of all, since it’s open to the public, there’s no fee to visit the garden!
Go to the Tropical Botanical Garden
If you’re looking for more flowers and greenery, there are plenty of beautiful growing things to see in this garden.
In addition to towering palm trees all over the place, there are over 4,000 additional species of tropical plants.
Many of these plants are actually endangered species, and most of them are labeled to help you identify all the different types of greenery in the garden.
This is one site you probably wouldn’t expect to see in Portugal, but thanks to donations made over the years from all over the world, they’ve been able to amass an impressive collection of rare tropical scenery.
Admission is very affordable at a price of just €3 for adults and €1.50 for children, so although it isn’t free, this attraction also won’t cost too much to visit.
Take a Walk Along the Riverside
Belem is located right along the Targus river, so there’s a pretty good chance you’ll see the water while wandering around this district.
That said, you might actually want to consider just going for a riverside walk, taking in the sites and experiencing the best this neighborhood has to offer.
While walking alongside the river, you should be able to easily spot landmarks such as the Belem Tower, the Jerónimos Monastery, Arco da Rua Augusta and more.
Best of all, simply taking a walk around this area is entirely free and won’t cost you anything to enjoy.
Other Things to Do in Belem
In addition to everything else we have listed in this section, there are several other activities and attractions to consider in the Belem neighbourhood of Lisbon.
- Visit National Palace of Ajuda (free to view from outside)
- Go to the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (cheap)
- See a Show at the Portuguese School of Equestrian Art (cheap)
- Visit the National Coach Museum (cheap)
- Go to the Maritime Museum (cheap)
- Take a Self-Guided Walking Tour
- Enjoy the Sunset by the River
- And more!
In addition to all the great activities you can enjoy in each of the neighbourhoods we’ve covered above, there are several other places you might want to visit in Lisbon.
This section will cover some of the attractions and things to do that we may have missed in other areas of the post.
Go to a Public Park
There are a lot of great public parks to see in Lisbon, and they’re all free to visit. That said, we recommend two excellent locations in particular: Jardim da Estrela and Jardim do Príncipe Real.
Jardim da Estrela is located at the west end of the city, and there are a lot of fun things to see and do here, including sculptures, a playground for kids, and even a small lake where you might see a few ducks.
This park is at the end of the line for Tram 28E, so if you’re planning to use that service, you simply need to ride the tram almost to its final destination.
Here is a resource about the park.
Alternatively, you might also want to check out Jardim do Príncipe Real, a small public square and garden on the main street of the Príncipe Real Real neighbourhood.
This park is notable for the giant cedar tree which provides a lot of shade during the warmer months. There is also a small cafe with outdoor seating and they often host a local farmer’s market at Jardim do Príncipe Real on Saturdays.
Visit a Cemetery
Although it might not be the first place you’d think to visit, the cemeteries of Lisbon are great places to learn about the history of the city and see some of the interesting funerary architecture.
There are two excellent cemeteries you may want to consider checking out while you’re in Lisbon: Cemitério dos Prazeres and Cemitério do Alto de Sao Joao.
Cemitério dos Prazeres can be found near Jardim da Estrela and is also accessible via Tram 28.
This cemetery is the final resting place for several notable Portuguese civilians including Prime Minister Maria De Lurdes Pintasilgo and writer Jose Cardoso Pires.
Cemitério do Alto de Sao Joao is just East of Alfama, and in addition to being the site of Portugal’s first crematorium, there are a lot of creative and interesting gravestones to be seen, many including beautiful statuaries.
Discover the Subculture of Street Art in Lisbon
Although you won’t find it on every street corner, Lisbon is actually home to a rather vibrant street art scene and there are a lot of beautiful pieces to see throughout the city.
One of the best locations to see this artwork is Mouraria, where you’ll find entire walls dedicated to the Fado music scene with a variety of unique styles from several different artists.
There are also some great examples to see in Bairro Alto, Alfama, Alcântara and many other neighbourhoods in Lisbon.
Visit the Lx Factory
What was once one of the biggest factories in the city has since been transformed into a place where everyone in the community can come together and celebrate art, architecture, music, and many other subjects.
Among other things, visitors can expect to find a variety of interesting restaurants, stores, art galleries and studios, and even an origami factory!
Additionally, there are events hosted at the Lx Factory on a fairly frequent basis, so you may have an opportunity to enjoy some live music or even artistic displays for free.
The Lx Factory is located in Alcântara on the Western side of the city.
You can reach this attraction via trams 15E or 18E. Don’t forget that you can get free access to all public transit with a Lisbon tourist pass.
Enjoy the Sunset
Since Lisbon is located right next to the Targus river, there are usually a lot of beautiful sunsets to enjoy in the region. Even better than that, there are several great viewing decks where you can get a great view of this event each day.
We’ve mentioned more than a few of these sites in our post above, including the following great examples:
- Miradouro da Graça
- Miradouro das Portas do Sol
- Miradouro de Santa Luzia
- Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara
- Elevador de Santa Justa
This is a great activity to enjoy right before starting your night, and there are several excellent places throughout the city where you can get a good view of Lisbon.
In other words, no matter where you plan to go after dark, chances are there’ll be a nice viewing location nearby where you can catch the sunset!

Baroness Goldie addresses 24th Chemical Weapons Demilitarisation Conference
The 24th Chemical Weapons Demilitarisation Conference, hosted by the Ministry of Defence and Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), concluded yesterday.
Bringing together representatives from governments across the world, the annual conference enables crucial conversations on the demilitarisation of chemical weapons.
99% of declared chemical weapons stockpiles have been destroyed and the conference brings together global experts to discuss progress, share experiences and lessons, and to co-operate in eradicating existing chemical weapons and addressing outstanding challenges.
Delivering the keynote speech of the conference, Baroness Goldie condemned Russia’s illegal and unjustified invasion of Ukraine, recognising the continued threats around the use and retention of chemical weapons, and the need to hold those responsible to account.
Defence Minister, Baroness Goldie, yesterday said:
As we mark the 25th anniversary of the Chemical Weapons Convention, it is right to acknowledge the major achievements in that time. However, as recent events have shown, the threat of chemical weapons remains very real, and we must not become complacent.
As we embark on the next 25 years of the Chemical Weapons Convention, we must continue with energy and passion to work together to do all we can to uphold it.
On the progress being made with the Chemistry and Technology Centre and the work of Conference Ambassador and Director General of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) Fernando Arias, Baroness Goldie added:
The work being led so resolutely by the Director General is nothing short of impressive. From the Verification Regime to the Global Partnership Agenda, we must be proud of these collective achievements.
I am equally pleased with the progress of the Chemistry and Technology Centre, which will enhance the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons’ technical and scientific capacity and improve facilities for training; the UK has contributed almost £900k to the construction of the Centre and remains willing to provide expert technical support.
A wide range of topics were covered, with sessions focused on emerging risks and potential solutions to combat chemical weapon threats, as well as new disposal systems and neutralisation methods.
Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons Director General, Fernando Arias yesterday said:
Current global events underscore that preventing the re-emergence of chemical weapons is an agenda that will always remain open after the end of the period of destruction.
For the sake of future generations, it is our responsibility to build on the gains already accomplished under the resilient multilateral framework of the Chemical Weapons Convention. And in the interest of humankind, it is our further responsibility to strengthen the ban that has proven so robust for so long.
The Minister also acknowledged and applauded the crucial work of scientific, technical and policy experts that strive to make the world safe from chemical weapons.
As joint hosts of the conference, Dstl plays a lead role in support of global demilitarisation and has an ongoing programme disposing of current and historic chemical weapons.
Dstl Chief Executive, Paul Hollinshead yesterday said:
Over the years with combined international efforts and investment in science and technology we have provided the solutions to allow the safe destruction of stockpiles. I’m immensely proud of the role of our world-class experts in Dstl, the Ministry of Defence, and our international partners are playing to create a safer future free from chemical weapons.
The Chemical Weapons Convention entered into force in 1997, banning chemical weapons, and requiring states parties to destroy any existing stockpiles. In 1998 the first Chemical Weapons Demilitarisation conference was held, and this has continued to be hosted annually by the MOD and Dstl.
The Convention requires global cooperation to affect lasting change, as highlighted by chemical weapon attacks including in Russia on Mr. Alexey Navalny in 2020, in Salisbury in the UK in 2018, and the numerous chemical weapon attacks by the Assad regime in Syria.
U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Defense Programs, the Honourable Ms. Deborah Rosenblum yesterday said:
I congratulate the conference organizers and participants for coming together at such a critical time globally. The threats posed by chemical weapons continue to grow and the norms against use continue to atrophy. We must come together to reverse this trend.

text: First published in 1927, sitting (mostly) on shelves looking drab in recent years, this is a fluently written, thoroughly researched biography that merits its stylish new dress. As the life of anyone it would be noteworthy for the subtle integration of many sources into a compelling narrative; as the life of Saint Joan it is remarkable for its inherent, unforced reverence, making it acceptable to all shades of belief. Detail drawn from diverse witnesses results in a rich texture; the development Of background adds historical interest; recognition of weakness (in Joan's last illness) and of doubt (in her accusers) adds depth and poignancy to the tragedy. The book is attractively designed, appropriately mapped, and illustrated with Sketches that are dramatic without bathos. (And it is not as long as it appeared to be in the old edition.) Combining Spirit and substance, this is surely the most meaningful biography of Saint Joan for older girls.

American Soldiers on Sinking Landing Barge Saved by Coast Guard
June 6, 1944 Photograph
The Allied plan for D-Day was for Duplex Drive (DD) tanks to land just ahead of the infantry. Once ashore, these amphibious tanks would lay down suppressive firepower for the landing infantry. Most of the tanks never reached their objective on Omaha Beach, however, as they became swamped in the rough seas almost immediately after launching from the LCTs. Without the tank’s heavy firepower, Allied forces became bogged down behind the seawall and its defenses. Many tank crews found ways to improve the likelihood of making it to shore by outfitting the intake and exhaust vents on their tanks with snorkels.

Even 30 months later, the first two days on the job remain fresh in Hanover Park Police Chief David Webb's memory. Back-to-back murders within a 24-hour span are hard to forget, after all.
"It was baptism by fire, for lack of a better term," Webb said.
Hanover Park crimes downPart I crime 2011 2010 % change
Overall: 508 in 2011, 587 in 2010, down -13%
Murder: 1 in 2011, 0 in 2010, n/a
Crim. sexual assault: 3 in 2011, 10 in 2010, down 70%
Robbery: 6 in 2011, 15 in 2010, down 60%
Aggr. assault/battery: 35 in 2011, 24 in 2010, up 46%
Burglary: 89 in 2011, 81 in 2010, up 10%
Theft: 360 in 2011, 438 in 2010, down 18%
Motor vehicle theft: 12 in 2011, 19 in 2010, down 37%
Arson: 2 in 2011, 0 in 2010, n/a
But if one positive can be taken away from Hanover Park's darkest period -- the village was rocked by four murders and multiple stabbings in the first half of 2009 -- it was the urgency of the department's transformation.
The turnaround appears to be working, with Webb's recent announcement that the village's serious crime rate dropped to its lowest level since the department began tracking it in 1974.
Last year, the department recorded 508 offenses labeled as Part I crimes by the FBI, which comprise all serious offenses from motor vehicle theft to murder. It represented a 13 percent decrease from 587 crimes in 2010 and a 76 percent drop from 892 crimes in 2003.
"It's been a wave in a positive direction," Webb said. "We took a bad event and really changed things around. Some things were already in the works, but it sped up the process."
One of the most significant improvements relates to gang activity. There was just one gang-related shooting last year, down from three in 2010 and 10 in 2002.
A similar trend was found with gang-related graffiti, which officers say is often a precursor for violence. In 2011, there were 93 reports of graffiti compared to 179 in 2010 and 190 in 2003.
Webb attributes the results to a move toward community policing paired with intelligence driven policing.
Every two weeks, the department holds a staff meeting to analyze crime data and decide how to best allocate resources. Instead of frequent new assignments, officers now are assigned to a beat for a year.
Police also hold quarterly Area Response Team meetings with residents, recently offering its first session in Spanish. They send out frequent emails to alert citizens to problems.
Mayor Rod Craig and the village board committed to the transformation by supporting construction of a new police headquarters and better staffing.
The new $15 million police station opened earlier this month, moving the 99-person department out of a facility meant to accommodate just 40 employees. And there are 61 sworn police officers compared to 54 when Webb took over as chief.
"The board and the community's commitment to us has been vital," Webb said. "They're giving us the tools to get our job done."
Not every crime category improved. There was a slight uptick in burglaries and a 46 percent jump in aggravated assault and battery, both of which Webb believes are related to ongoing economic woes.
Still, he's pleased with what he sees as quality-of-life issues. Theft and motor vehicle theft last year dropped 18 and 37 percent, respectively. Code enforcement also was emphasized, leading to fewer problems at apartment complexes.
Looking forward, Webb said one of the department's 2012 goals is to continue efforts to curb gangs and complete narcotics investigations. Officers also are being encouraged to improve their relationship with the Hispanic community. Another focus will be curfew enforcement in the village, where juveniles must be off the streets an hour earlier than the state requires.
"We're in a very good place right now," Webb said. "These numbers just show how the strategies we're using are working."

The Jerusalem Post
New gov’t intent on curbing religion
Rabbi Gershon Edelstein, one of the most senior ultra-Orthodox rabbis in the country, has lamented the new government’s plans over changes to religious life, alleging that it seeks to stop people being religious.
Speaking from his home in Bnei Brak Tuesday night, the 98-year-old rabbi said that the ultra-Orthodox community must increase its diligence in Torah study, good deeds and observance of the religious commandments which would forestall the designs of the new government.
“Now it is known that there is a new government, that they have the intention, and they say it openly, that they want [to issue] decrees to stop people being religious… [decrees] against the laws of the Torah, not in accordance with the laws of the Torah,” said Edelstein.
“This is the plan so what do you do? What is the advice? It depends on merits! When there are merits there are no disturbances, when there are merits, the person who comes to purify themselves gets assistance,” continued the rabbi.
Edelstein went on to say that ultra-Orthodox community needs to earn merit by assiduously observing the religious commandments and thereby earn divine grace to avert the decrees planned by the government.
The rabbi’s comments come following severe denunciations of the new government by the ultra-Orthodox political leadership and from figures such as the head of the Shas Council of Torah sages Rabbi Shalom Cohen who forbade Shas officials from cooperating in any way with the new government, even for the financial interests of their institutions.
And the MKs of the ultra-Orthodox political parties Shas and United Torah Judaism all signed a declaration promising not work with any ultra-Orthodox advisers who work with the new government.
Government ministers often employ ultra-Orthodox advisers to provide guidance regarding projects in the sector and how to best cooperate and work with the haredi community.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has insisted that he wants his government to assist the ultra-Orthodox sector, for example by planning and building a new haredi city to help resolve the housing crisis for the community.
The pledge of the MKs not to work with advisers who help the government is part of an effort by Shas and UTJ to protect their status as the only political parties the ultra-Orthodox community can rely on to protect their interests.

Author and Blogger Marvin D Wilson - A Short Bio - Believe it - or Not? (wink)
Born at a very early age, in a small, modest northern cabin that he helped his father to build, Marvin Dean Wilson learned quickly and grew up fast, attaining twenty one years of age well before he or his peers had even graduated from high school. He went on to become a carpenter, using his natural god-given masonry skills to the best of his ability, and was quickly put in charge of his family’s entire used car sales operation – an enterprise his family had become famous for all over the county, wheeling and dealing from their junkyard-jammed front, side, and back yards.
Marvin soon tired of the world of redneck entrepreneurship however, and decided, at the age of thirty, to retire to the woods and contemplate his navel. After seven years in the Naval Service, he decided he had served his countryside long enough and, upon returning home and watching a Jimmy Swaggart special, he knew in a flash of enlightenment, beyond any shadow of doubt, he had found his true mission in life. Televangelism!
He went on to make millions duping poor, simple folks out of their money in return for his forty-dollar-a-pop, personally kissed and blessed plastic Jesus figurines, and after getting caught in an illicit affair with his secretary and being found guilty of skimming off the non-profit ministry’s coffers – all of which, by the way, he vehemently denies any wrong doing in or responsibility for – the devil make him do it! – he took up writing while behind bars as his preferred golden years career. What the hell, he figured … beats working for a living. And taxpayers were footing the bill for his stay, so what could be better?
Today he is a free man, still working full time and completely retired, happily penning – of all things, novels, and trying his best to enjoy a return to his roots. Root canals, that is.

Reese Witherspoon has starred in a number of successful films over the past few years including Pleasantville (1998), Cruel Intentions (1999), Legally Blonde (2001), Sweet Home Alabama (2002), Walk The Line (2005), and Four Christmases (2008).
AppealMost would probably agree with us when we say that Reese Witherspoon doesn't exactly fit the mold of today's sex symbol. If you're not quite getting my point, envision the likes of a Carmen Electra, alongside cute little Reese Witherspoon. Catch our drift?
Not that she isn't sexy in her own right. She definitely is, no question about it. All we're saying is that she personifies the sweet and seemingly innocent girl-next-door type that we have all been attracted to at one point in time or another.
SuccessBy the time she hit her mid-20s, Reese Witherspoon had already managed to become one of Hollywood's hottest young starlets and had acted in a variety of big screen roles. She also garnered a great deal of attention due in part to her marriage to her Cruel Intentions costar Ryan Phillippe and her recent relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal. She is currently engaged to Jim Toth, an agent with LA's Creative Artists Agency.
As far as her acting career goes, Reese Witherspoon has officially been drafted to the big leagues. Since the success of her movie Legally Blonde, for which she was paid $5 million, her asking price jumped significantly. In fact, she made $12.5 million for 2002's Sweet Home Alabama, and $15 million apiece for Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde (2003) and Vanity Fair (2004). In 2005, she added Just Like Heaven and Walk the Line to her resume, and then 2008's Four Christmases.
Reese Witherspoon BiographyLaura Jean Reese Witherspoon, born on March 22, 1976, was raised in Nashville, Tennessee. Considering that both her parents held occupations in the medical field, Reese grew up expecting to become a doctor, although she always knew in her heart that she wanted to be an actress.
While growing up in Nashville, a hot spot especially known for its country music talent, Reese Witherspoon was exposed to the entertainment industry at a very early age. Her career in the spotlight began at 7 years of age when she was introduced to the world of modeling. This exposure eventually enabled her to break onto the small screen by appearing in several television commercials.

After winning a 10-state talent search, Reese Witherspoon began to receive recognition for her acting and modeling abilities. In 1991, she landed her first lead role in Robert Mulligan's The Man in the Moon. This role in particular kick-started Reese's film career, and soon after, she found herself starring in two made-for-TV movies: 1991's Wildflower and 1992's Desperate Choices: To Save My Child.
Upon completing high school, Reese Witherspoon began receiving offers to appear in higher caliber films, including Jack the Bear (alongside Hollywood heavyweights Danny DeVito and Gary Sinise) and Disney's A Far Off Place, both of which were released in 1993. The following year, Reese Witherspoon decided to put her acting career on hold for a little while and enrolled at Stanford University to major in English literature.

This decision to pursue her studies was curbed shortly thereafter, when she accepted to star in two more big screen productions -- both of which were slated for 1996 release dates. First came Fear, in which she portrayed a frightened teenager terrorized by her psychotic boyfriend (Mark Wahlberg, in one of his earlier roles). In the second film, Freeway, she was cast alongside Kiefer Sutherland in yet another dramatic role as a victimized teenager. Both roles pushed Reese Witherspoon well beyond her prior acting experiences and ultimately opened new doors for her as a rising starlet in Hollywood.

The following years found Reese Witherspoon starring in more prestigious film projects. In 1998, she appeared opposite legendary screen icons Paul Newman, Gene Hackman and Susan Sarandon in Robert Benton's Twilight, and later that year she starred in Pleasantville along with fellow up-and-comer Tobey Maguire.
1999 was a big year for Reese Witherspoon in more ways than one. Her career was elevated to an even higher level by starring in two more box-office hits, Cruel Intentions (with Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Election, in which she wowed critics with her dark comedic performance. While filming Cruel Intentions, Reese Witherspoon and costar Ryan Phillippe became involved in a serious off-screen romance, which eventually led to their engagement in March of 1999. The pair married on June 5, 1999, in South Carolina and announced shortly thereafter that they were expecting their first child in the coming months.

After a brief break from the acting scene, Reese Witherspoon returned in February of 2000 with a guest spot on the hit NBC sitcom Friends. She starred in a few episodes as the younger sister of Rachel (played by Jennifer Aniston). Later on that year, she reappeared on the big screen with relatively small roles in two more films, American Psycho and Little Nicky. However, in 2001, she once again found herself starring as the leading lady in the successful Legally Blonde.
In 2002, Reese Witherspoon appeared in The Importance of Being Earnest and had the lead role in Sweet Home Alabama, which was also quite a success. The following year, she reprised her role as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde. She also gave birth to a little boy, Deacon.
reese witherspoon in walk the line
After 2004's Vanity Fair, Reese Witherspoon could be seen in 2005's Just Like Heaven and Walk the Line (as June Carter in the Johnny Cash biopic). In 2006, she added Penelope, costarring Christina Ricci, to her resume. She starred in the flick Rendition with Jake Gyllenhaal the following year before divorcing her husband in June 2008. Apparently, she and Jake hit it off, because shortly after her divorce from Ryan Philippe, Reese Witherspoon was spotted getting cozy to her former costar, and they were officially dating shortly thereafter.

Eating fish every day has long been touted as a healthy dietary choice. Not only is it a lean source of protein, but it also contains essential omega-3 fatty acids that have been linked to several health benefits. However, is it truly beneficial to eat fish daily, or can there be potential drawbacks to this diet?
In this section, we will explore the impact of fish consumption on health and delve into some of the potential risks associated with eating fish every day. By the end of this article, you’ll have a better understanding of whether including fish in your daily diet is a good idea.
- Eating fish every day provides a lean source of protein and essential omega-3 fatty acids.
- Potential risks associated with daily fish consumption include exposure to contaminants such as mercury.
- The appropriate amount of fish to include in your diet may vary based on factors such as age, gender, and overall health.
- Consulting with a healthcare professional or nutritionist can help you make informed dietary choices.
- It is best to weigh the pros and cons of including fish in your daily diet to determine if it is right for you.
Benefits of Eating Fish Daily
Adding fish to your daily diet can offer numerous health benefits. Fish is rich in essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and protein that can improve your overall well-being. It is also a low-fat source of high-quality protein, making it an excellent alternative to other fatty meats.
The American Heart Association recommends eating fish at least twice a week to reduce the risk of heart disease. The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish can lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation, and decrease the risk of developing blood clots that can cause heart attacks or strokes.
The recommended daily intake of fish varies based on age, gender, and overall health. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends that adults consume 8 ounces of seafood per week, with pregnant and breastfeeding women consuming up to 12 ounces per week. For children, the recommended amount ranges from 1-2 ounces for toddlers to 4 ounces for teenagers.
Incorporating fish into your meals is an easy and delicious way to improve your health. Whether grilled, baked, or sautéed, fish can be a versatile and flavorful addition to any dish. To reap the benefits of fish, try incorporating it into your diet a few times a week and experiment with different types and recipes to find your favorites.
Risks of Eating Fish Daily
While there are plenty of benefits to consuming fish regularly, there are also some potential risks to be aware of. One of the primary concerns is the presence of mercury and other environmental contaminants that may be found in certain types of fish.
Mercury, in particular, is a type of heavy metal that can accumulate in the bodies of both fish and humans. Over time, exposure to mercury can lead to a range of health issues, including neurological problems, cardiovascular disease, and developmental delays in children.
It is important to note, however, that many types of fish contain only trace amounts of mercury and can be safely consumed without posing a risk to human health. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has issued guidelines for safe fish consumption, recommending that pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children avoid certain types of fish known to contain high levels of mercury.
In light of these considerations, individuals who eat fish daily should aim to vary the types of fish they consume to minimize the risk of excessive exposure to any particular contaminant. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to portion sizes and to ensure that fish is being consumed as part of a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and other healthy foods.
The Pros and Cons of Eating Fish Everyday
As we have seen, adding fish to your daily diet can bring a slew of health benefits. For instance, fish is packed with nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and high-quality protein, all of which can help improve heart and brain health, boost immunity, and reduce inflammation. Eating fish can help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and hypertension, and is even linked to a lower incidence of depression and dementia.
However, consuming fish daily also raises some concerns that need to be taken into account. For starters, not all types of fish are created equal. Some species of fish may contain high levels of pollutants and heavy metals such as mercury, dioxins, and PCBs, which can accumulate in the body and lead to health problems. Pregnant women and children are particularly vulnerable to these contaminants and should be especially careful when choosing which fish to eat and how much.
Another potential concern is sustainability. Overfishing and destructive fishing practices are threatening the health of our oceans and marine ecosystems, and choosing sustainably sourced fish is important both for our health and the health of the planet. Additionally, fish can be expensive, which may make it challenging for some people to incorporate it into their daily diet on a regular basis.

As with any dietary decision, there are various pros and cons to making fish a daily part of your diet. While consuming fish has been linked to a host of health benefits and is a great source of essential nutrients, it is crucial to consider the potential risks as well. This includes making informed choices about which types of fish to consume and how much, promoting sustainable fishing practices, and being mindful of any financial barriers that may prevent regular fish consumption.
Exploring the Recommended Daily Fish Intake
Consuming fish regularly is an excellent way to get heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and essential nutrients such as selenium, magnesium, and vitamin D. However, the amount of fish you should eat is not the same for everyone and might differ according to various factors such as age, gender and overall health conditions. Here are some general recommendations to help determine how much fish you should consume per week:
|Weekly Fish Serving Recommendation
|2 to 3 servings (about 8-12 ounces) per week
|no more than 2-3 servings (about 8-12 ounces) per week of low-mercury fish
|1 to 2 servings (about 2-6 ounces) per week, depending on their age and size
It’s essential to note that these are general guidelines and your recommended serving size might differ based on your individual circumstances and health conditions. It is always best to consult an authorized healthcare professional or a registered dietitian to determine an appropriate amount of fish to include in your diet.
Potential Drawbacks of Eating Fish Daily
While fish is a nutritious and delicious food, there are some potential drawbacks to consuming it every day. One of the primary concerns is the sustainability of fish populations and the environmental impact of overfishing. Certain types of fish, such as bluefin tuna and Atlantic salmon, are especially at risk for depletion, and their continued consumption can contribute to their endangerment.
Another consideration is the cost of regularly eating fish, as some varieties can be quite expensive. This can be a hindrance for those on a limited budget who still want to maintain a healthy diet.
Excessive exposure to certain pollutants is also a potential risk of eating fish daily. Fish can contain high levels of mercury, which can have harmful effects on the nervous system, particularly in fetuses, infants, and young children. It is recommended that those who regularly consume fish choose low-mercury options and limit their intake accordingly.
To ensure that fish remains a healthy and sustainable part of your diet, consider selecting types that are lower in mercury, choosing sustainably sourced fish, and balancing your diet with other protein sources such as legumes, nuts, and tofu.
After exploring the potential benefits and risks of eating fish every day, it is clear that making this dietary choice requires careful consideration. While fish can be a rich source of essential nutrients and contribute to overall health and well-being, it is important to be mindful of potential drawbacks such as excessive exposure to pollutants and unsustainable fishing practices.
Ultimately, the decision to consume fish daily will depend on individual circumstances, including dietary goals, preferences, and health considerations. Consulting with a healthcare professional or nutritionist can help ensure that you are making informed choices and balancing the potential benefits and risks of a fish-rich diet.
Overall, the answer to the question of whether eating fish every day is good or bad for health is not a simple one. Rather, it requires a nuanced approach that takes into account a range of factors. By staying informed and making conscious choices, however, it is possible to reap the benefits of fish consumption while avoiding any potential negative impacts.
Is eating fish every day good or bad for health?
Eating fish every day can have both positive and negative effects on health. While fish is a great source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and various other nutrients, it is important to consider the potential risks associated with daily fish consumption, such as mercury contamination. It is recommended to balance fish consumption with other protein sources and to choose low-mercury fish varieties.
What are the benefits of eating fish daily?
Including fish in your daily diet can provide numerous health benefits. Fish is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are known for their heart-healthy properties. Consuming fish regularly can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, promote brain health, support eye health, and improve overall well-being.
What are the risks of eating fish daily?
There are certain risks associated with consuming fish every day. One concern is the potential for mercury and other contaminants present in certain fish species. High levels of mercury can be harmful, especially for pregnant women and young children. It is important to choose low-mercury fish options and consume a variety of protein sources to minimize the risk.
What are the pros and cons of eating fish everyday?
Making fish a part of your daily diet has its benefits and drawbacks. Pros include the high nutrient content, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. Fish can also be a good source of lean protein. However, cons may include the risk of mercury contamination, sustainability concerns, and potential cost considerations.
What is the recommended daily fish intake?
The recommended daily fish intake varies based on several factors, including age, gender, and overall health. In general, it is recommended to consume at least two servings of fish per week, with each serving being around 3 to 4 ounces. However, individual needs may vary, and it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or nutritionist for personalized recommendations.
What are the potential drawbacks of eating fish daily?
While fish offers numerous health benefits, there are potential drawbacks to consider. These include sustainability concerns, as certain fish populations are overfished or harvested unsustainably. Additionally, the cost of regularly consuming fish can be higher compared to other protein sources. Excessive exposure to environmental pollutants, such as mercury, is another consideration when consuming fish daily.
