The beginning of the Spring


Like everybody know, the spring begin the 21 of March and it ends the 20 of June.In this season the weather isn't cold like in winter and isn't hot like in summer.
In the spring all the flowers are alive, fill of colour and everything is green.

My favourite season is spring because the weather is warm and sunny, but not very hot.I like summer too because there isn't school and you can go to the beach and leave with friends.

But, there is a problem in spring.Many people in this season have allergy to the pollen, and other persons have every year but it is less common.The flowers and trees detach the pollen to the air, this pollen causes discomfort and desire of sneezing, this is the cause of the allergy.



-What's your favourite season?
-Do you have allergy?

I hope you like it:)

-The energy factor and alteration of metabolism

Can you tell me what the percentages in the adults and the children are?

Tsar's caprices


During the zenith of the Russian Empire, the House of Fabergé delighted the Tsar of Russia with over 65 known jewelled eggs made by precious metals and precious stones, however, only 57 eggs have survived to the present day. The first egg or "First Hen Egg" was made in 1885, as a present of Peter Carl Fabergé to the Tsar of Russia (Alexander III) and he liked it so much that demanded the jeweler to create every Easter (the most important holiday in the orthodox Russia) an egg for his wife, the tsarina. Until 1917 and the destruction of the Russian Empire, these jewels had a lot of success and the House of Fabergé presented eggs to the aristocracy of his country of origin.


The "Rothschild Fabergé Egg", costing $18 million is the most expensive clock ever made and the most expensive sold Fabergé egg. Only very rich collector have the money and the power to have these jewels.




Nowadays, the biggest collection of Fabergé Eggs is Forbes' one, with 10 eggs which easily reach over $20 million and the prestige of been ones of the most wonderful jewels of history. There are loads of them but, I couldn't put many because of the speed of the blog.


Your task will be to investigate about one egg, looking for it in Google.com or in Wikipedia. Here, you have an example:


Name: Peacock Fabergé Egg
Year: 1908
Picture (or link)


Description: It's an egg demanded by Nicholas II of Russia and he gave it to his mother, Maria Feodorovna, the Dowager Empress of Russia. It was first housed in the Winter Palace and now, you can find it in the Hermitage Museum, in St Petesbourg.

If you think is too long, your opinion will be enough! ;) Here you have a very good list of pics.
