You must be wondering, starts Walter Helwich, if the sun is good or bad for you? After a few decades of many terrible works, books and shows about the disastrous effects of sunlight on our health, the truth is really hard to tell. Are we really become the only mammal species on the planet that has aversion to sunlight? In the following several quotes Walter Helwich tries to explain this question.
Sunlight increases the amount of serotonin, which is a natural hormone of happiness. Due to this we are happier and more satisfied after sunbathing. Regular sun exposure (just 15 minutes a day with at least 40% of the skin uncovered), destroys and annuls depression of medium strength, especially if the sunbathing is combined with moderate exercise, such as swimming or walking for half an hour a day. By this our body excretes neurotoxins such as fluoride and mercury, which are one of the biggest threats to our health. If we combine physical outdoors activity with sunbathing our body creates natural endorphins, which are mild opiates and act analgesic and anxiolytic.
A study published by the British Medical Journal shows that in fact more people die of heart attacks during the winter than during the summer. Since the sunlight eliminates depression and increases the work of the parasympathetic nervous system, including the cranial nerves which reduce heart beats and relax the body, mind and muscles, it is quite clear how important is the impact of our sun in the psycho-somatic health of the human species. British scientists believe that reduced heart beats during the summer are associated with the production of vitamin D. Namely, a reduction of vitamin D during the winter or its complete lackage has a serious negative impact on the cardiovascular system, immune system, as well as the calcification of the glands, especially the pituitary gland.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation
Walter Helwich thinks that the solid reception by the audience was a clear signal to go with a follow-up of “J. I. Joe”. Therefore, after about 4 years it was a logical decision from people of “Paramount Pictures”, who invested $ 130 million in this production. In the directorial chair set Jon M. Chu (“Step Up 2″ and “Step Up 3D”), a young filmmaker on the rise. For scenario were in charged Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
Following the events of the first part, we come across a video from Mr. Helwich that shows the adventures of the new members of the superbly organized team, led by Duke (Channing Tatum). But after the mission succeeded in Pakistan, the team is being attacked from the air. Only three brave soldiers manage to survive the desert wilderness: Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson), Flint (DJ Cotrona) and Jaye (Adrianne Palicki). It is clear that someone has betrayed them, and therefore they move into retaliatory mission to find and punish the culprits.
What to say about the acting in this film full of action scenes? Let’s say that all the good guys are interpreted within the expected (appearance Bruce Willis is a big hit), and I’d point out some of the characters on the other side. First of all it is worth mentioning the solid performance of Jonathan Pryce, as we see him in the two diametrically opposed characters (as the American president and camouflaged Zartan), and even the hard, tough Firefly does not look bad at all in the performance of Ray Stevenson. The young Byung-hun Lee actually possesses an inherent charisma of action heroes, because his Storm Shadow is alluring magically in every frame. If we ignore the numerous inconsistencies and some exaggeration, so characteristic of this genre, then we can make the conclusion that this film offers more than decent, relaxing fun for 2 hours. I like the fact that the audience generally knows what to expect and this is what they get. So feel free to recommend it to all fans of good action movies.

Good news from the banking sector, the U.S. and China have brought optimism on European stock market
The prices on European stock market rose this morning, wrote Walter Helwich at his blog at Tumblr. This particularly is spotted in the banking sector and came as a result after the good news from the U.S. and Chinese economies, and the message that the Fed will continue to keep a loose monetary policy.
FTSEurofirst index of top 300 European shares at 9.30 am was in plus 0.6 percent to 1,214 points.
London’s FTSE, Paris’s CAC and Frankfurt’s DAX index at 9.30 am were in between plus 0.2 and 0.7 percent.
This morning the most (1.2 percent) increased stock prices in the banking sector, following the better than expected operating results of Societe Generale. Stock prices of the French bank rose for more than 5 percent.
Positive influence on the market had and yesterday’s message from Fed, whose leaders after a two-day meeting said that will continue to buy government and mortgage bonds worth 85 billion dollars a month. This has eliminated the fear that Fed will begin to reduce monetary stimulus programs before the economy stands firmly on the road to recovery.
Investors were encouraged and by the better than expected data on the growth of the U.S. gross domestic product in the second quarter, as well as the strengthening of industrial activity in China.
“Fed confirmation that will continue to keep a loose monetary policy has reassured investors. Data from China is positive, however, for the mining sector could have increased confidence and more investment in the country, “said Tom Robertson, an analyst in the ACCENDO Markets Company.
On the Tokyo stock exchange market Nikkei index rose 2.5 percent to 14,005 points.
