Recently I started learning Russian with no particular view in mind except to keep my mind active. To help with this I decided to watch Russian T.V. online. Whilst doing this I came upon a talent show for kids called voicekids. It is a spin off from The voice that we have in Britain. Whilst watching it I came across Daniel Pluzhnikov who has acondraplasia, but sings with such passion that I can see he has a personality far bigger than his body. Well he captured my heart and will yours too if you go to vk.com/voicekids. He was in the show on 11.03.16. So you will need to scroll down to find him, but it will be worth your while. Alternatively you can find him on Youtube. Happy listening.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
