Zaprešić Boys - Neopisivo/ Indescribable

 

 The easiest thing is when they ask me How much and in what way I love her Just one word would be it Indescribable 
 Still today I remember my father, it was long ago When he put me in his lap at the stadium 
There I heard for the first time I love you, Croatia Since then I know the answer to this question 
 The easiest thing is when they ask me How much and in what way I love her Just one word would be it Indescribable

What a Volcano Can Do to an Airliner


In 1982, a Boeing 747 was being flown by British Airways from Kuala Lumpur to Perth on one leg of a London to Auckland flight. They were well over the ocean when strange things started happening.
 The passenger compartment started filling up with blue smoke, even though there was no fire detected on board. Then the crew started seeing bluish flickering lights. 
They recognized St. Elmo's fire, but had never seen it so strong.

Viva Magenta!


If you’ve never heard of this colour, that’s quite deliberate. For almost 25 years, the colour-matching company has tasked itself with choosing a shade that – according to its extensive cross-disciplinary analysis of prominent hues within art, fashion, design and beyond – not simply captures the zeitgeist, but sets the tone for the year to come. 
 After 2020’s muted evening blue, the 2021 joint winner of pebble grey and hazard-warning yellow, and this year’s bright periwinkle hue, Pantone have settled on this “audacious” shade of carmine red for 2023.
