Die NAZIS und die Drogen-Prohibition

Ein Faden von Dr. Pierre Tailleur:

Nazis verbrannten auch aufklärerische Bücher zum Thema Drogen. Das berühmteste Buch war wohl “Phantastica“ von Dr. Louis Lewin (1924), welches der Bücherverbrennung von 1935 zum Opfer fiel.

"Gegen die Verführung zum Rauschgift & für die Reinheit der deutschen Seele" lautete das Motto der Nazis. Dabei war es Lewins Überzeugung nach wichtig, dass Probleme mit Drogen von Medizinern & nicht von Polizisten adressiert wird (vgl. Entkriminalisierung in Portugal).

Manchmal habe ich das Gefühl, dass Daniela Ludwig & Co. auch gerne den Server von “Cannabis-Fakten” verbrennen würden. Bis heute gab es jedenfalls keine Distanzierung von der drogenpolitischen Ideologie der Nazis unter derer zahlreiche “PWUD“ inhaftiert & getötet wurden.

PWUD (People who use drugs) ist der aktuelle Terminus für Drogen-Gebraucher/Innen in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur. Hierbei geht es meist ausschließlich um illegalisierte Substanzen wie z.B. Cannabis. Genau genommen sind nämlich fast alle Menschen ”PWUD“ 🍷 🍺 ☕ 🚬 💊

[lafcadiosadventures]

Things I found remarkable from Madame Putiphar: (warning: this post is mushy and earnest. And the writing is clunky af. if you don’t like those things, skip it)(no spoilers tho)

-Borel’s denunciation of the horrors of the ancien regime. From the kidnapping and purchase of girls as young as 7or 9 to become trainees at the Parc-aux-cerfs, Louis XV’s personal harem, to the illegal incarceration and disappearance of enemies of the crown(since the incarceration was not legal, your family didn’t know if you were alive or dead, and anything could be done to you because technically you were not incarcerated)(very reminiscent of certain non democratic methods of xxth c dictatorships), to the incarcerations of writers such as Diderot and Sade for their ideas. (parallels could be made with Borel’s present time and they might have. The book was not censored but it got such a terrible review from Jules Janin, Borel found it harder and harder to find work again)(Jean-Luc Steinmetz calls Janin’s review a rehearsal for the later censorship trials on books such as mme bovary and les fleurs du mal during Napoleon III’s government)

-a heroine whose shortcomings and aptitudes are not rooted in her gender (crazy I know.)(like in Champavert, where race is not deterministic at all) Debbie, our heroine, is a brave, intelligent person, doing what best she can in adverse circumstances. Not always correct, not invincible, not ever stunted (or blessed!) by the innate powers of femaleness some authors and thinkers seem to believe in. (a probable antecedent is Diderot’s Suzanne Simonin, some of her misadventures are similar and she is a fleshed out character as well)(but it’s been a while)

-an appreciation of femaleness and effeminacy, and androgyny. Because of their love, padraig and debbie’s genders mingle and impregnate one an other. Debbie becomes more masculine. Pádraig in his turn, is made more effeminate by his love of Debbie. And this improves them both. (The androgyne as a divine being is a recurrent theme in romantic literature, but an appreciation of femaleness, maybe not so much. Borel says padraig has been improved by receiving debbie’s femenine upbringing. That is unheard of)

-A narrator that shows love and care for his readers. Besides Borel’s usual use of irony and meta literary discussion, here he stops and comforts the reader, takes their hand (Borel specifically addresses a female and male reader) and asks if they’re ready to carry on. Since this was a book he felt pain while writing, he -correctly- assumes the reader will probably be shaken as well. This is very sweet and considerate and it never happens?? I feel like writers are usually here to lecture the reader and make them swallow their truth. (Borel does a fair share of that too, tbh)(there is more to be said about the narrator in this book. But it will require a rereading because I admit I am not at all certain about some things he does here)

-a Romantic’s take on the Enlightenment. Borel takes familiar tropes and makes them his own. I was reminded of Diderot’s heroine from La réligieuse, his playful narrator in Jacques le fataliste. Sade’s Justine, (tho sade does not really write humans, rather gears that put his plot in motion, this is not a jab at sade. just that debbie is not a sadian innocent sticking to her virtue in ways required only by the plot) Voltaire’s Candide and Laclos’ Dangerous Liaisons come to mind as well.

Overall I really loved this book. I have one or two complaints over one midly unfortunate rant about the roots of european orientalism, a queer character that is not that bad but uuh seems rather underdeveloped and tropey, and one coup-de-theatre death that was unnecessary imo. There’s also the narrator thing. This requires a second reading bc I found some of his digressions confusing. His tone was easier to decode in Champavert. Here I had trouble discerning what Borel is being serious about or not. Not all the time but occasionally. Hard to tell what he is serious about or not. But overall this are very minor complaints. I insist this is a great book!! And I feel very grateful for having read it 🖤

“Das Blaue Palais: Der Verräter” (1974)

Der deutsche Physiker Dr. Siegmund von Klöpfer (Werner Rundshagen) stellt seinen Kollegen im “Blauen Palais” seine neuesten Forschungen auf dem Gebiet der Lasertechnik vor, von denen er sich eine neuartige Form des Kunstdüngers erhofft. Seine kostspieligen wissenschaftlichen Tests sprengen das begrenzte finanzielle Budget des “Blauen Palais”, wie Louis Palm (Silvano Tranquilli) zu bedenken gibt. Klöpfer reagiert mit Empörung und unterstellt seinen Kollegen Ignoranz. Ausgerechnet Sibilla Jacopescu (Loumi Iacobesco), die sich mit ihm in der Diskussion einen Wortwechsel geliefert hatte, ist zunächst die Einzige, die sich für die Bewilligung der finanziellen Mittel für Klöpfers Projekt einsetzt. Daraufhin stimmen die übrigen Wissenschaftler ebenfalls positiv ab.

Dass Enrico Polazzo (Dieter Laser) für das Equipment von Klöpfer seine Laborräume abgeben muss, facht dessen ohnehin bestehende Skepsis gegenüber den Forschungen seines Kollegen nur noch weiter an. Hausmeister Kühn (Herbert Steinmetz), der einzige im Institut der älter als Klöpfer ist, verbündet sich mit dem Physiker, der ihn intensiv in seine Tätigkeit einbindet. Klöpfer verpflichtet Kühn zu strikter Geheimhaltung und lehnt es ab, seine Kollegen über den Stand seiner Forschungen zu informieren. Ausbleibende Erfolge seiner Tests erklärt Klöpfer mit der unzureichenden technischen Ausstattung.

Klöpfer lässt sich von dem dubiosen Geschäftsmann Weigand (Georg Marischka) die ihm von Palm verweigerten umfangreicheren Apparaturen zur Verfügung stellen und unternimmt vor seinem vor dem Institut heimlich positionierten Geldgeber und einem Fotografen eine Testreihe. Dabei fängt einer der benachbarten Bäume Feuer.

Nun schließt sich auch Palm den Zweifeln von Polazzo an und beschlagnahmt gemäß den Statuten des “Blauen Palais” Klöpfers wissenschaftliche Unterlagen, worauf der Physiker mit laustarker Empörung reagiert. Sibilla ist die einzige, die die Anwesenheit der Fremden durch eine zurückgelassene Filmschachtel bemerkt hat.

In der selben Nacht öffnet Klöpfer mit seinem Laser den Tresor, nimmt seine Unterlagen an sich und flieht aus dem “Blauen Palais” nach Hongkong, weil ihm dort angeblich die Leitung eines Institutes angeboten wurde, wo er seine Forschungen fortsetzen soll. Louis Palm entsendet Sibilla Jacopescu nach Hongkong, wo sie ihren Kollegen zur Vernunft bringen soll.

Klöpfer muss in Hongkong erkennen, dass man ihn getäuscht hat und es lediglich auf die von ihm entwickelte Lasertechnologie abgesehen hat. Der dubios agierende Wissenschaftler Fred B. Parker (Neil Bruce), den Klöpfer von gemeinsamen Konferenzen her kennt, legt ihm in verbindlichem Ton aber unmissverständlich nahe, unter seiner Leitung die Tests weiterzuführen, was Klöpfer zunächst entschieden ablehnt, da er eine Führungsposition erwartet hat. Parker vertraut seinem Kollegen brisantes Material zu Forschungen mit Materie und Antimaterie an.

Sibilla begibt sich auf die Suche nach Klöpfer, was sich nicht zuletzt durch ihre nicht vorhandenen Chinesischkenntnisse und ihre völlige Unkenntnis der Landessitten jedoch sehr kompliziert gestaltet. Ausgerechnet der obskure Weigand, von dem sie nicht weiß, wen sie vor sich hat, bietet ihr seine Hilfe an. Bekannte von Su-Shu Wong, dem “Finanzminister” des “Blauen Palais”, führen Sibilla schließlich zu dem auf einer Dschunke vor seinen Verfolgern versteckten Klöpfer.

Das ungleiche Paar flieht vor seinen Verfolgern durch das nächtliche Hongkong und nächtigt - geradezu als Prophezeiung - auf einem Friedhof. Wider Erwarten gelingt es ihnen, an Bord eines Flugzeuges zu gelangen. Bei einem Zwischenstopp in Anchorage in Alaska teilt Klöpfer Sibilla nach einem Telefonat mit, er werde zukünftig an einem in dem abgeschiedenen Küstendorf Ninilchik gelegenen Institut arbeiten. Isabella weigert sich nach wie vor, Klöpfer zu verlassen und fährt mit ihm nach Ninilchik.

Auf der Fahrt in das Institut wird ihr Taxi von Weigand und seinen Handlangern überfallen. Klöpfer flieht mit seinen wissenschaftlichen Unterlagen, kann seinen Häschern aber nicht entkommen.

Wie bereits in der ersten Episode erhält der Zuschauer auch hier im Prolog durch Louis Palm einen Ausblick auf das nun folgende Geschehen, in dem auch das tragische Ende bereits vorweg genommen wird.

Nach “Das Genie” spielt auch “Der Verräter” an internationalen Schauplätzen, wobei es sich hier um Hongkong und Alaska handelt.

Ähnlich zur ersten Folge wird der Zuschauer erneut über vieles im Unklaren gelassen. Erfährt man in “Das Genie” niemals, wie Felix van Reijn die Gedankenwelt fremder Gehirne auf sich selbst überträgt - man sieht keinerlei wissenschaftliche Apparaturen in seiner Umgebung - so weiß man auch am Ende von “Der Verräter” nicht, in wessen Auftrag die dubiosen Charaktere Weigand und Fred B. Parker handeln.

Die genaue geographische Lage des “Blauen Palais” wird in “Der Verräter” zwar erneut nicht erwähnt, jedoch sieht man die Baumaschine einer  Augsburger Firma im Einsatz. Bei dem begrenzten Etat des Kuratoriums ist davon auszugehen, dass für einfache Dienstleistungen ausschließlich örtliche Unternehmen engagiert werden, und man sich daher wohl in der ländlichen Umgebung dieser Stadt niedergelassen hat.

Wie in “Das Genie” bestreitet auch in “Der Verräter” die aparte Sibilla Jacopescu einen Großteil der Handlung. Dieses Mal erhält sie den Auftrag, den abtrünnigen Physiker Klöpfer zur Einsicht zu bewegen. Der stets zwischen allen vermittelnde Palm hofft gewiss nicht von ungefähr, dass Klöpfer nur noch Sibillas Argumenten zugänglich ist, obgleich sie selbst dergleichen verneint. Dass Palm die junge Frau völlig auf sich allein gestellt in ein Land schickt, deren Sprache sie nicht beherrscht und deren Gepflogenheiten sie nicht kennt, ist jedoch äußerst fahrlässig, zumal niemand im “Blauen Palais” um das konkrete Ausmaß der Gefahr weiß, in der Klöpfer und nun auch Sibilla schweben. Die junge Wissenschaftlerin lässt sich leider vom Erstbesten, der ihre Sprache kennt und sich als freundlicher Experte der Landessitten vorstellt - nämlich dem obskuren Weigand - blenden, doch ergeht es ihr dabei nicht anders als ihrem noch dazu weitaus erfahreneren Kollegen Klöpfer.

Die üblichen Stereotypen der Geschlechterrollen sind in “Der Verräter” erfrischend vertauscht, da hier eine Frau einem Mann beisteht und positiv auf ihn einwirkt, während er sich in sein Schicksal ergeben will. Dass Sibilla ihren Auftrag entgegen der energischen Aufforderung durch Klöpfer und trotz massiver physischer Bedrohungen nicht aufgibt und statt dessen an seiner Seite bleibt, ist bemerkenswert. Eigentlich verbindet die rumänische Biologin ein privates Verhältnis mit ihrem Kollegen Jeroen de Groot (Peter Fricke), der jedoch in “Das Genie” nicht zögerte, sie als Lockvogel einzusetzen. Warum Sibilla für ihren mehr als zwanzig Jahre älteren Kollegen, mit dem sie keinerlei romantische Beziehung verbindet - nach der gemeinsam auf einem Friedhof verbrachten Nacht wird sich jedoch bemerkenswerterweise geduzt nachdem bisher stets das verbindliche Sie zwischen Sibilla und Klöpfer Verwendung fand - ihr Leben riskiert, bleibt im Ungewissen. Ihr couragiertes Handeln entspringt wohl ihrem Gewissen und ihren hohen Moralvorstellungen.

Moral ist wiederum für Dr. Siegmund von Klöpfer eine völlig vernachlässigenswerte Größe bei seinen Forschungen. Ihn interessieren lediglich wissenschaftliche Zusammenhänge (“Ich will es wissen!” lautet sein Credo) und die Erfolge bei seinen Forschungen. Wie seine Entwicklungen später einmal genutzt werden, ist ihm gleichgültig.

Werner Rundshagen zeichnet das interessante Porträt eines von seinen Obsessionen getriebenen Mannes, dem alles andere außer seiner Wissenschaft nebensächlich erscheint, gleichgültig ob es sich dabei um ein Privatleben, sein äußeres Erscheinungsbild oder um die ihn momentan umgebende Landschaft handelt.

Im Gegensatz zu seinen anderen Kollegen im “Blauen Palais” ist Dr. Klöpfer deutlich älter und behandelt die jüngeren Wissenschaftler daher mit offener Herablassung. Mit dem seiner Meinung nach geltenden Recht der Erfahrung fordert er stets eine Vorzugsbehandlung. Loyalitäten scheint er nur in Bezug auf seine eigene Person zu kennen, später spricht er sogar mit Geringschätzung über seinen Aufenthalt im “Blauen Palais”.

Obgleich der Wissenschaftler fachlich ein überaus intelligenter Mann ist, worauf er sich einiges zugute hält, ist es mit seiner Menschenkenntnis nicht zum Besten bestellt. Während er dem zwielichtigen Geschäftsmann Weigand vertraut, weil dieser ihm seine benötigten Apparaturen zur Verfügung stellt und er auch gegenüber Parker zunächst kein Misstrauen hegt, da er lediglich einen bekannten Kollegen in ihm sieht, hält es Klöpfer jedoch in den letzten Minuten seines Lebens  - welche Tragik! - für möglich, dass ihn Sibilla in einen Hinterhalt gelockt hat, obgleich sie ihm doch so lange trotz seiner permanent ablehnenden Haltung - der eigensinnige Mann ist offensichtlich zu stolz um Hilfe anzunehmen - treu und couragiert zur Seite gestanden hat.

Eurovision 1967 my top 17

Hello again, and welcome to another episode of this long series about the ESC. Now it’s time to review what happened on April 8th 1967 in Vienna, Austria after Udo Jürgens’ victory in Luxembourg the last year. 17 countries took part and Denmark said goodbye for 11 years. Again the voting system was changed to the one that was applied on the first years of the contest. The contest was won by the United Kingdom with the song Puppet on a string, making this their first victory ever. And now, with the songs. 

1st Place: UNITED KINGDOM/Sandie Shaw-Puppet on a string (Real Placing: 1st-47 points)

This song has and will have an special place on my heart because it was one of the first ESC songs I heard, the song is catchy, the performance is so amazing and she is a nice singer, another song that the contest needed to get into the 60′s. Worthy winner indeed and thumbs up for Sandie. 

2nd Place: SPAIN/Raphael-Hablemos del amor (Real Placing: 6th-9 points)

Again this man manages to win my heart with his amazing voice and performance, another good entry from him and the music in the chorus is the best part, one of Spain best early entries and the lyrics are very good actually. Oh Raphael, I love you so much. 

3rd Place: LUXEMBOURG/Vicky Leandros-L’amour est bleu (Real Placing: 4th-17 points) 

Oh what a song!!!! One of my absolute favorites ever, and Vicky is such a wonderful singer, this song is catchy, the music is marvelous and Vicky returned some years later with another result that I’ll discuss at the time of that review. A classic song and one of the pearls of the contest. 

4th Place: GERMANY/Inge Brück-Anouschka (Real Placing: =8th-7 points) 

And this is one of Germany’s best entries of the 60′s, sounds modern and she is a very good singer, the la la la is catchy and the chorus is amazing, the music makes this entry a good one, and this one makes me happy. 

5th Place: FRANCE/Noëlle Cordier-Il doit faire beau là-bas (Real Placing: 3rd-20 points)

This sounds so 60′s for a reason I can’t describe, the verses are very groovy and the chorus is amazing, the music is very good and she is an amazing singer. This is what France needed after their fiasco last year. 

6th Place: BELGIUM/Louis Neefs-Ik heb zorgen (Real Placing: 7th-8 points)

I like a lot this one, so funny and the troll finish is amazing, his voice is good as well and yeah, overall a good song. Such an enjoyable entry. 

7th Place: PORTUGAL/Eduardo Nascimento-O vento mudou (Real Placing: =12th-3 points)

The music on this one is amazing, and his voice is very good, I love it. The chorus is amazing and the beginning is excellent. Such a nice entry and again, an entry that IMO deserved more than some songs that finished higher on the night. 

8th Place: ITALY/Claudio Villa-Non andare più lontano (Real Placing: 11th-4 points) 

This one is so dramatic in a good way, Claudio’s voice is superb and the orchestra makes this wonderful, an absolute delight to hear this one. Both of his entries are amazing, but this one is superior and excellent. 

9th Place: NORWAY/Kirsti Sparboe-Dukkemann (Real Placing: =14th-2 points) 

Again an underrated song for this lady, her voice is so cute and amazing, an absolute delight, and the song is good and the orchestra sounds okay, nice entry overall. 

10th Place: THE NETHERLANDS/Thérèse Steinmetz-Ring-dinge-ding (Real Placing: =14th-2 points) 

This one is repetitive, but makes me feel good at some point, sounds like something from a Christmas movie soundtrack, maybe if the song was a bit shorter would’ve been better. Such an energetic entry. 

11th Place: MONACO/Minouche Barelli-Boum-badaboum (Real Placing: 5th-10 points) 

This one is interesting... it really sounds like an explosion, quite repetitive and maybe too noisy for my taste. 

12th Place: IRELAND/Sean Dunphy-If I could choose (Real Placing: 2nd-22 points)

Also I like this, his voice is something amazing and the music is good, overall a nice entry but not a runner up. 

13th Place: FINLAND/Fredi-Varjoon-suojaan (Real Placing: =12th-3 points)

I like this one and his voice is amazing, and the music is very good, but somehow turns repetitive with the chorus, anyway, a nice entry. 

14th Place: SWEDEN/Östen Warnerbring-Som en dröm (Real Placing: =8th-7 points)

A dark entry, and his voice is good, but sadly bores me a little, the chorus is the best part. 

15th Place: SWITZERLAND/Géraldine-Quel cœur vas-tu briser? (Real Placing: 17th-0 points/last)  

This one sounds promising and good, but then she sings and everything breaks inside of me, I love the music and with another singer, this would’ve been on my top 5. That note at the end is scary. 

16th Place: YUGOSLAVIA/Lado Leskovar-Vse roze sveta (Real Placing: =8th-7 points) 

This one is sweet on the chorus, but as with Austria, I can’t remember this at all. Nice voice though. 

17th Place: AUSTRIA/Peter Horton-Warum es hunderttausend Sterne gibt (Real Placing: =14th-2 points) 

I always forget about this one, boring, uninteresting, sorry but not for me.

NEW IN THE BOOKSHOP: THE USES OF PHOTOGRAPHY : ART, POLITICS, AND THE REINVENTION OF A MEDIUM (2016) • The Uses of Photography examines a network of California artists whose experiments with photography during the turbulent, transitional decade of the 1970s opened the medium to a profusion of new strategies and subjects. Working within the framework of Conceptual art, these artists introduced urgent social issues and themes of everyday life into the seemingly neutral territory of photography, producing works that took on hybrid forms, from books and postcards to video and text-and-image installations. • Tracing a crucial history of photoconceptual practice, The Uses of Photography focuses on an artistic community that formed in and around the young UC San Diego, founded in 1960, and its visual arts department, founded in 1968. Artists such as Eleanor Antin, John Baldessari, Allan Kaprow, Martha Rosler, and Allan Sekula employed photography and its expanded forms as a means to dismantle modernist autonomy, to contest notions of photographic truth, and to engage in political critique. The work of these artists shaped emergent accounts of postmodernism in the visual arts and their influence is felt throughout the global contemporary art world today. Published in association with the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. • Edited by Jill Dawsey Texts by Judith Rodenbeck, Benjamin Young , David Antin, and Pamela M. Lee Artists include David Antin, Eleanor Antin, John Baldessari, Jean-Pierre Gorin, Helen Mayer Harrison, Newton Harrison, Louis Hock, Allan Kaprow, Fred Lonidier, Babette Mangolte, Martha Rosler, Allan Sekula, Lorna Simpson, Elizabeth Sisco, Phel Steinmetz, Carrie Mae Weems. • Available via our website and in the bookshop. • #worldfoodbooks #theusesofphotography #davidantin #eleonorantin #babettemangolte #martharosler #fredlonidier #johnbaldessari #gaag #allankaprow #helenmayerharrison #newtonharrison #lornasimpson #allansekula #carriemaeweems #louishock #jeanpierregorin #phelsteinmetz #elizabethsisco (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)

Natural Colored Diamonds

At the point when a great many people consider hued stone adornments, their brains go to rubies, sapphires, and emeralds and much of the time they would be correct. Be that as it may, for the gems authority, they ought to likewise consider the most excellent, most splendid, and solid gemstone of all - the jewel! The vast majority don't understand that precious stones come in hues other than clear. The gems business calls these precious stones "white". In any case, the learned gems enthusiast realizes that the most wonderful jewels on the planet arrive in a rainbow of hues.

As a matter of first importance, the most wanted shaded jewels are for the most part regular. This implies they come out of the ground the shading they are cleaned to and are not treated or adjusted at all to bring out or upgrade their shading. A precious stone must be guaranteed by a gemological research facility to be called regular. Regular hued precious stones speak to under 1% of all jewel unpleasant prepared.

Characteristic shaded precious stones might be one essential shading or adjusted with an optional tint or tones. Characteristic hued precious stones are likewise evaluated for shading uniquely in contrast to white jewels. Normally hued jewels are evaluated in a specific order: black out, light, light, extravagant light, extravagant, extravagant dull, extravagant serious, extravagant profound, and extravagant striking. With most common hued precious stones, the more attractive stones are the ones closer to extravagant clear Engagement Rings Perth.

The least uncommon shade of characteristic hued jewels is yellow. Normal yellow jewels get their shading from the nearness of nitrogen in the carbon grid. Extraordinary compared to other known yellow precious stones on the planet is the "Unique", a 407.48 carat shield-formed advance cut jewel reviewed extravagant caramel yellow, yet inside impeccable. Specialist Louis Glick is the proprietor of this stone after twice attempting fruitlessly to sell the "Exceptional" at closeout with a save cost of $20 million.

Next most uncommon are the pink precious stones. Regular pink jewels are framed by a "plastic disfigurement" of the precious stone as it is being shaped. Before the disclosure of the Argyle Mine in Northwestern Australia in 1985, normal pink precious stones were far rarer than they are currently. With the revelation of the mine, they turned out to be more plentiful and 90% of the world's flexibly originated from here. Some well known pink precious stones incorporate the Darya-ye Noor Diamond with an estimated weight of 182 carats! The Graff Pink is a 24.78 carat emerald cut extravagant serious pink precious stone, and is the most costly gem at any point sold at sell off at $46 million! The Steinmetz Pink, the biggest extravagant clear pink reviewed jewel, was divulged in 2003 and weighs 59.6 carats. At long last, pink jewels got superstar notice when Ben Affleck gave Jennifer Lopez a 6 carat pink precious stone wedding band!

Rarer than pink precious stones are the orange jewels. Normal orange precious stones get their shading by the nearness of nitrogen and deformities in the gem cross section. Since the shading orange is a mix of yellow and red, the essential shades of orange precious stones territory from red orange to yellow orange. The most popular orange precious stone is the "Pumpkin Diamond", bought at sell off by Ronald Winston of Harry Winston Jewelers the day preceding Halloween and renamed as a result of its shading and the criticalness of the buy date. It is reviewed extravagant distinctive orange and weighs 5.54 carats. It accumulated further importance when it was worn in a ring by Halle Berry at the 2002 Academy Awards when she won Best Actress. Its present worth is $3 million!

The following rarest precious stone is the blue jewel. Characteristic blue precious stones get their shading from the nearness of boron in their structure. The most well known blue jewel on the planet is likewise the most popular - The Hope Diamond. Tipping the scales at 45.52 carats and extravagant profound grayish blue, this purportedly reviled stone was given to the Smithsonian Institute by its last proprietor, Harry Winston.

Among the rarest of the common shaded precious stones are the purple jewels. Genuine purple precious stones are nearly non-existent and are made by curiously high measures of hydrogen in the structure of the jewel. Most common purple precious stones are changed by pink with the goal that they are known as pinkish-purple jewels. Most are littler than two carats and most are cut as round brilliants. There are three celebrated purple precious stones known on the planet and little is thought around two of them - the Royal Purple Heart Diamond, and the Supreme Purple Star Diamond. The purple jewel went to the front line in 2003 when proficient competitor Kobe Bryant gave his better half a 8 carat purple precious stone ring after it was found he had a conjugal disloyalty.

Considerably rarer are characteristic green precious stones. They are surprising in that their development isn't from any imperfections found in the jewel. They are framed from presentation to radiation that happens normally in the dirt, in all probability from uranium metal. Characteristic green precious stones, in view of the technique for their arrangement, are frequently just green on a superficial level. There is just one notable common green precious stone - The Dresden Green. The Dresden Green weighs around 41 carats, and gets its name from Dresden, the capital of Saxony in Germany.

The rarest of all normal hued precious stones are red jewels. They are shaped by a similar procedure as pink jewels. There are just a couple of jewels that GIA has reviewed as Fancy Red (unmodified). The biggest of these is the Moussaieff Red, a 5.11 carat three-sided splendid cut precious stone. The reddest red precious stone is the Rob Red, a 0.59 carat pear molded extravagant serious red jewel. It is likewise one of a kind in that it is generally spotless with a VS1 clearness reviewing.

As should be obvious, regular shaded precious stones are accessible in each shade of the rainbow to say the very least. For a great many people keen on hued stones, they are well on the way to be happy with gemstones since the hues are more just as they would prefer. Be that as it may, for the individuals who need the intriguing and can manage the cost of it, common hued precious stones settle on an energizing and extravagant decision.

MATAIS- “Hello, I am Matais Giobertti and this is Ava....”

Officer Martin- “I would know this woman anywhere...Ava Boedell. Even though the circumstances are not the best, it is an honor to meet you in person.  You are my favorite actress of all time!”

AVA- “Thank you, but I am here for my son. I haven’t seen him in fourteen years. Is he okay, is he under arrest...please I need to see him.”

Officer Martin.  “I completely understand Ms. Boedell....let’s go over here and have a seat and I can explain what has happened with your son...”

OFFICER MARTIN- “Nico, and his friend Shane Steinmetz had an accident late last night outside of town....”

AVA- “Accident!!??  Is he okay?”

OFFICER MARTIN- “Yes, he was taken to the emergency last night and examined. He did pass out at the scene, but the doctors felt it was due to shock.  He sustained no injuries from the accident, except for a few scratches. His boyfriend apparently had made sure that Nico had on his seat belt, which probably saved his life....”

AVA- “Oh thank the creator...”

OFFICER MARTIN- “Unfortunately, Nico’s boyfriend, Shane did not use his seat belt and he was thrown from the vehicle upon impact, after he hit a tree swerving out of the way of an oncoming car. He was pronounced dead at the scene....”

MATAIS- “Oh dear...and Nico witnessed all of this?”

OFFICER MARTIN- “Yes, unfortunately... that and also witnessed the death of a passenger of the oncoming car. Nico was very traumatized and Sgt. Dixon has been with him they whole time.  At the hospital and here.  The police from St. Louis were here as well, and they spoke with our chief of police, Francis Rooney and he will be in to speak with you and your son in a bit, but we wanted to give you time to be reunited.  Your son has been threw quite a bit in the past five days, Ms. Boedell.  And now meeting you again after being separated for so many years, may be extremely...well traumatic as well.  Let’s go into one of the interrogation rooms, and I will have Sgt. Dixon bring him in...”

16 Yugoslavia Lado Leskovar Vse rože sveta

17 Finland 🇫🇮 Fredi Varjoon – suojaan

I ranked 1967

And it was certainly a lot more boring than the rest of the 60s.

Also there must've been a case of laryngitis going round that year because Holy fuck did some of these singers sound rough.

Germany- Anouschka- Confession: This has been a LONG time coming, no idea why I put off putting this song first for so long

United Kingdom- Puppet on a String- Nostalgia aside, this one has aged horribly and her voice sounded like shit just like everyone else this year, but it's at least catchy

Portugal- O Vento Mudou- Used to be my personal winner, but was knocked down after I realised, you guessed it, his voice sounded awful

Ireland- If I Could Choose

The Netherlands- Ring-dinge-ding- Warning: This song can and will stick in your head for the next 48 hours. You have been warned

Monaco- Boum-badaboum- Honestly would be higher if it wasn't for the fact Serge Gainsbourg wrote it

Finland- Varjoon-Suojaan

Italy- Non andare più lontano

Yugoslavia- Vse rože sveta- The talking in the middle made it stand out, otherwise it's pretty boring

Spain- Hablemos del amor- The next few are also just down here because I found them boring too lmao

Sweden- Som en dröm

France- Il doit faire beau là-bas

Austria- Warum es hunderttausend Sterne gibt

Norway- Dukkemann- Just annoying

Belgium- Ik heb zorgen- Even more annoying

Switzerland- Quel cœur vas-tu briser?- Just... just horrible.

Luxembourg- L'amour est Bleu- Petty as Hell, but ever since one of my friends pointed out you can see her nips through her dress, I can't listen to this song without feeling like a huge pervert. It's the song equivalent of a creepy stranger touching your bum, I hate it.
