I dare to suspect that everyone has noticed how the quality of global cinema has plummeted recently. Many complain about stupid plots, incompetent […]

Pedro Téllez-Girón y Velasco, 3rd Duke of Osuna, was a true hooligan and aristocrat from Andalusia (just look at his mustache). He was born in 1574 into a wildly talented family, a branch of the wealthy de Guzmán family, Dukes of Medina Sidonia. His mother was also very talented — from the family of the […]

The ancient Greeks and Romans also struggled with the housing crisis. In many developed countries, real estate prices have risen so much that for many people, the dream of owning a home has faded away. Renting is often not the best option, as the supply of affordable housing is limited. This is one of the […]
