5 WEIRD RULES THAT ROYAL FAMILY HAS TO FOLLOW


Being royal has plenty of perks, but it’s not always that great to be a part of the Family. Anyone who has ever watched The Crown or any other documentary about British Royal Family, knows that with the power and privileges come also responsibilities and set of rules they’re obligated to follow. You might have already heard about some of the Royals weird traditions, this is the list of 5 rules that I, personally, find the most bizarre.
1.     They can not play Monopoly
Why? It’s simple. Prince Andrew, Elisabeth II’s son, once he took part in some public event. He’s been introduced to the game and its rules, but he didn’t quite liked it. Therefore, he decided that Monopoly should be forbidden and members of the family should not be allowed to play it.
2.     The British Royal Family can not eat seafood
Seafood can cause food poisoning, that’s why the Royals can not eat crabs, mussels or shrimps.
3.     They have to weight themselves before and after the Christmas Diner
That tradition dates back to Edward VII’s times: he would care a lot that all of the family             members leave the table being full.
4.     While traveling they always should have something black with them
In case a member of the Royal Family dies, they should be prepared and always have some black outfit with them.
5.     The bag-code
It’s actually pretty clever. According to the position of Queen’s bag, her staff can see when she wants to end a conversation that lasts longer than it should. She can also finish a whole meeting or diner, simply by putting her bag on the table.
Of course this is only small list of weird rules that the Royal Family has to follow, there are many, many others…

How did fitness tracker help resolve murder investigation?

Lately, I came across an article about how fitness tracker helped resolving the murder investigation. Out of curiosity, I’ve decided to read it cause it appeared to be quite unusual. So, not to prolong: thing was happening in California. 67-years old woman was found in her house with wounds around her head and neck. Last person who saw her that day was her father, 80-years old Anthony Aiello. While asked about their meeting, he testified that they ate together and that they parted on good terms. Little did he know, that   his daughter wore a fitness tracker on her wrist. Smartwatches like this can show us how many steps we make during the day, what’s our daily calories intake and among many others: they can measure our heartbeat. So, as you may have already guessed: the police with a help of the tracker could easily estimate the time of the death…and surprise, surprise: It happened to be exactly while she was supposed to be having a meal with her father. This time technology has ...

Is it going to be a good one? 2019, according to the Chinese zodiac is going to be a year of the Pig. Chinese zodiac system has over 2 000 years.
