Voronezh is a city and the administrative centre of Voronezh Oblast in southwestern Russia straddling the Voronezh River, located 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) from where it flows into the Don River. The city sits on the Southeastern Railway, which connects western Russia with the Urals and Siberia, the Caucasus and Ukraine, and the M4 highway (Moscow–Voronezh–Rostov-on-Don–Novorossiysk). In recent years the city has experienced rapid population growth, rising in 2021 to 1,057,681, up from 889,680 recorded in the 2010 Census, making it the 14th-most populous city in the country.
For many years, the hypothesis of the Soviet historian Vladimir Zagorovsky dominated: he produced the toponym "Voronezh" from the hypothetical Slavic personal name Voroneg. This man allegedly gave the name of a small town in the Chernigov Principality (now the village of Voronizh in Ukraine). Later, in the 11th or 12th century, the settlers were able to "transfer" this name to the Don region, where they named the second city Voronezh, and the river got its name from the city. However, now many researchers criticize the hypothesis, since in reality neither the name of Voroneg nor the second city was revealed, and usually the names of Russian cities repeated the names of the rivers, but not vice versa.
A comprehensive scientific analysis was conducted in 2015–2016 by the historian Pavel Popov. His conclusion: "Voronezh" is a probable Slavic macrotoponym associated with outstanding signs of nature, has a root voron- (from the proto-Slavic vorn) in the meaning of "black, dark" and the suffix -ezh (-azh, -ozh). It was not “transferred” and in the 8th - 9th centuries it marked a vast territory covered with black forests (oak forests) - from the mouth of the Voronezh river to the Voronozhsky annalistic forests in the middle and upper reaches of the river, and in the west to the Don (many forests were cut down). The historian believes that the main "city" of the early town-planning complex could repeat the name of the region – Voronezh. Now the hillfort is located in the administrative part of the modern city, in the Voronezh upland oak forest. This is one of Europe's largest ancient Slavic hillforts, the area of which – more than 9 hectares – 13 times the area of the main settlement in Kyiv before the baptism of Rus.
In it is assumed that the word "Voronezh" means bluing - a technique to increase the corrosion resistance of iron products. This explanation fits well with the proximity to the ancient city of Voronezh of a large iron deposit and the city of Stary Oskol. As well as the name of Voroneț Monastery known for its blue shade.
Folk etymology claims the name comes from combining the Russian words for raven (ворон) and hedgehog (еж) into Воронеж. According to this explanation two Slavic tribes named after the animals used this combination to name the river which later in turn provided the name for a settlement. There is not believed to be any scientific support for this explanation.
In the 16th century, the Middle Don basin, including the Voronezh river, was gradually conquered by Muscovy from the Nogai Horde (a successor state of the Golden Horde), and the current city of Voronezh was established in 1585 by Feodor I as a fort protecting the Muravsky Trail trade route against the slave raids of the Nogai and Crimean Tatars. The city was named after the river.
17th to 19th centuries
In the 17th century, Voronezh gradually evolved into a sizable town. Weronecz is shown on the Worona river in Resania in Joan Blaeu's map of 1645. Peter the Great built a dockyard in Voronezh where the Azov Flotilla was constructed for the Azov campaigns in 1695 and 1696. This fleet, the first ever built in Russia, included the first Russian ship of the line, Goto Predestinatsia. The Orthodox diocese of Voronezh was instituted in 1682 and its first bishop, Mitrofan of Voronezh, was later proclaimed the town's patron saint.
Owing to the Voronezh Admiralty Wharf, for a short time, Voronezh became the largest city of South Russia and the economic center of a large and fertile region. In 1711, it was made the seat of the Azov Governorate, which eventually morphed into the Voronezh Governorate.
In the 19th century, Voronezh was a center of the Central Black Earth Region. Manufacturing industry (mills, tallow-melting, butter-making, soap, leather, and other works) as well as bread, cattle, suet, and the hair trade developed in the town. A railway connected Voronezh with Moscow in 1868 and Rostov-on-Don in 1871.

Graffiti wall art is a powerful form of self-expression and urban beautification. It has evolved from a rebellious act to an admired art form celebrated worldwide. In this guide, we’ll explore the essence of graffiti wall art, its significance, and tips for creating stunning pieces.
What is Graffiti Wall Art?
Graffiti wall art refers to artistic designs, symbols, or messages created on walls, typically in urban areas. It encompasses various styles, ranging from:
Tagging: Simple, stylized signatures or initials.
Throw-Ups: Bubble letters or quick designs.
Murals: Large, detailed compositions that tell stories or convey themes.
Street Art: Intricate pieces blending graffiti with fine art techniques.

Something I haven’t done I don’t think before. This set will take this maxi dress and swap out and add accessories to produce different looks based on the same core layer. I was quite surprised putting this together how versatile a long animal print Primark dress could be
As the M16 series rifles age, the world's most powerful military force must change and evolve alongside the leaps in firearms technology. The M36A4 line, a production-ready series of dynamic, modular rifles, bridges the gap between the proven technology of the 20th century and the promising future of the 21st.
NOTE: USE THE "BUTTONS" NEXT TO EACH VARIANT TO SEE EACH INDIVIDUAL GUN.
I will not be uploading them all to the pool.
With its patented double-receiver design, the M36A4 is largely built of a strong polymer composite- and is geared toward maximum versatility. The milled aluminum inner receivers and barrel assemblies can be quickly unbolted from the main receiver and swapped, converting the weapon to serve almost any purpose- from close quarters combat to long range sniper engagements.
This is the fourth incarnation of the M36 platform. New to the A4, the magazine shield has been redesigned and can be easily unbolted and removed for use of different types of magazines. The rails on the left and right of the receiver have also been replaced with extended, bolt-on versions which can be independently unbolted from either the entire weapon or simply from the various heat shield models, as shown in the top image (which shows the outer receiver with the rails, independent from an inner receiver, barrel and heatshield.)
The M36A4 is completely unique in its ease of conversion- within ten minutes, the frame can be gutted and a new receiver and barrel fitted, making this the one and only assault rifle the U.S. will need for almost any imaginable purpose. Developed and built alongside Heckler und Koch of Germany, the M36 series is a fairly easy step from the M4s and M16s of yester-year. With this ease of transition in mind, the weapon uses the same barrel lengths and threading as the M4/M16 series, making ballistics nearly identical to current standards. The five standard variants are shown: The 14.5" M4-barreled Compact, 20" M16-barreled Standard, and the 22" Designated Marksman variants are chambered in 5.56 x 45mm NATO; while the 20" Grenadier and 23" Sniper variants are chambered in the powerful 7.62 x 51mm NATO. The two versions of inner receiver are designed to accept the 30-round STANAG and 20-round SR-25 magazines, respectively, so existing magazines can be recycled from the older rifles.
Barrel threads and standardized birdcage flash hiders mean that any M16-compatible suppressors or flash hiders can be used. Picatinny rails on the top and sides of the outer receiver allow for easy mounting of optics and other accessories, and underbarrel M203 grenade launchers (already plentiful in America's small-arms arsenal) can be fitted to the aluminum subframe using a modified mounting bracket.
The safety is a simple push-button safe/fire design paired with an Spz-kr type two-stage trigger, similar to the trigger group on the Austrian Steyr AUG (half squeeze for semi-auto, full pull for full automatic.) A proprietary short-stroke piston gas system derived from the HK416 replaces the direct impingement gas system used by the standard M16/M4 design, keeping combustion gas and heat away from the internals. This drastically increases the reliability of the weapon and also allows for better tolerances internally (translating into increased accuracy in the field.)
Using existing M4 and M16 optics, foregrips, suppressors, grenade launchers and magazines will save the U.S. hundreds of millions of dollars during the transition.
Simple, reliable, accurate and affordable, the M36 is the perfect American assault rifle.
Hope you are all having a good weekend. Apparently you cant visit Zante without visiting this Beach. Who can resist this view.
The Smugglers Cove (Shipwreck) is one of the most famous beaches in Greece and of course, Zakynthos island’s best sight! Until the first years of 80’s it was just a magnificent quiet, sandy beach, but since 1982 it has evolved to one of the major tourist attractions of Greece and a must see place for every Zante island visitor.
The ship which lies on this beautiful beach is called “Panagiotis”. In 1982, “Panagiotis” was smuggling a large quantity of cigarettes when it was observed by a customs patrol. It managed to outrun the patrol boat but was eventually cornered on the North West coast of Zante in dreadful storm conditions. Its captain determined that the customs should not gain his prize, realized all was lost and decided to scuttle the ship. “Panagiotis” was carried onto the rocks in the fierce storm and finally, it was washed ashore.
Since that day, the Shipwreck Beaches fame grew increasingly and today, thousands of tourists from all around the world visit the Smugglers Cove to admire this unusual spectacle.
AI cyberbods represent an intriguing and rapidly evolving frontier in the world of artificial intelligence and robotics. These advanced, humanoid-like machines are designed to mimic the form and functions of the human body, taking AI capabilities beyond the confines of traditional computer hardware and software. Powered by sophisticated neural networks and machine learning algorithms, cyberbods are able to perceive their surroundings, process information, and execute complex physical movements with a level of dexterity and autonomy that rivals their human counterparts. Far more than just rigid, metallic frames, these cybernetic entities are imbued with a sense of embodied intelligence, able to fluidly navigate environments, manipulate objects with precision, and even exhibit lifelike expressions and behaviors. As the technology continues to progress, the potential applications for AI cyberbods are vast - from performing hazardous tasks in place of humans, to serving as intelligent companions, to aiding in medical procedures and scientific exploration. Of course, the rise of these humanoid AI systems also raises a host of ethical and philosophical questions about the nature of consciousness, the boundaries between man and machine, and the future of human-robot interaction. Nevertheless, the rapid advancements in AI cyberbod technology remain a captivating frontier, one that promises to reshape our understanding of intelligence, agency, and what it means to be human in the digital age.
