GOOD & BLESSED MONTH....

My friends, let us open our hearts to accept love for our fellow man, peace for the whole world and hope for a better tomorrow....
April is the fourth month of the year according to the Julian and Gregorian Calendars, the eighth during the Ecclesiastical year beginning in September, the second according to the old Roman calendar and the tenth according to the Attic calendar (they were called Munich and corresponded to the time period 24 March-April 22 of the Gregorian calendar).
By the time of the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar it included 29 days since then 30. Nero it 65 A.D. try, without success, to rename April to Neronio (Nero) commemorating his rescue after a failed assassination attempt involving his teacher Seneca.
The custom of "April Fool's Day", with the innocent lies, it is a pan-European custom and it came to Greece, rather, the time of the Crusades. It has its roots in the ancient Celts, who used to go fishing on April Fool's Day and resort to false stories of big fish when they came back empty-handed.
The word April (Latin Aprillis) etymologically derived from the Latin verb aperire, which means "open". It is the month when the weather "opens up" and Spring comes.


April is the month par excellence where Easter is celebrated. In the first three centuries of Christianity, the various churches celebrated this great feast on different dates. Due to these differences the First Ecumenical Synod, which Constantine the Great convened at Nicaea in Bithynia the 325 A.D., decreed that “Easter should be celebrated on the Sunday after the first full moon of spring, and if the full moon occurs on a Sunday then it should be celebrated on the following Sunday (the celebration of Easter was therefore directly linked to the vernal equinox and the first full moon of spring).

Science answers: There is a "female" and a "male" brain;

Every now and then scientific studies appear that claim to find differences between the "female" and "male" brains. At times, also, comes the counterargument that the brain is "unisex" and that any neurobiological differences between men and women are of minor importance.
Such a passionate demystification is attempted by the new book "The gendered brain: The new neuroscience that dispels the myth of the female brain» (ed. The Bodley Hand, 2019) by cognitive neuroscientist Gina Ripon, professor at the British University of Aston, Birmingham.
Her main message, who also presented it with her article in the British Telegraph, is that "a gendered world will produce a gendered brain". Moving along the same wavelength as two previous books, by Cordelia Fine («Delusions of Gender», 2010) and Angela Saini («Inferior», 2017), Ripon aims to eradicate neurosexism.
