The vitamins were discovered only in the XXth century, but
the value of eating fruits, vegetables and other kinds of food were recognized
already in ancient times. The word "vitamine"
was introduced by Kazimierz Funk in 1912, from which, later, originated the
term vitamin. It signified a group
of compounds considered vital for life. As all those
compounds were thought to have a
nitrogen-containing component known as an amine,
they got the name "vitamine" – vital
amine. The "e" from the end of the word was dropped down in 1920,
as a suggestion from Jack Cecil Drummond, when it was discovered that Vitamin C
doesn't contain nitrogen, thus not all are amines.
If you own a cell phone it is very important,
time to time, to clean it, because every day on the phones conglomerate
thousands of germs. The sources of the germs, dust and small particles are

For everyday house clean most of us use expensive
commercial cleaners and we don’t realise that the most efficient, safe and

Genealogy[1]
is one of the world’s most popular hobbies. Hundreds of millions of people
around the globe are actively engaged in some form of family research. It seems as if everyone, in
some part of their lives, wonders where they came from. Maybe it's the red hair
that your mom says has been passed down from your Irish great-grandfather. Or
perhaps a curiosity as to why Grandma never spoke about her family. Some people
have become intrigued after visiting a battlefield and wondering if one of
their ancestors fought or even died there. For others it is the box of old
photos or clothing which has been left to them by a relative. What starts
as a simple curiosity, however, quickly grows into an obsession. Forget
shopping or gambling - climbing your family tree is much more addictive, so
never say I didn't warn you!
