If there is no money, there are loans - citizens with a debt of about 2 billion euros

Macedonian citizens both save, but also want to borrow from the bank.

Which is completely normal, because otherwise they would not be able to find an apartment for many years, or buy any electrical devices for their home, and some also to provide education for their child, and even those who take credit to go on vacation.

The National Bank of Macedonia published the latest data on deposits and loans for March, and the data on loans show that the Macedonian still borrows mostly through consumer loans.

Namely, at the end of March, consumer loans reached the level of 1.98 billion euros, which is an increase of 13.3 million euros in one month, compared to April. This means that citizens on the basis of consumer loans are "dangerously" approaching a debt of two billion euros.

At the same time, it should be taken into account that many of the citizens take a consumer loan to buy a car, especially for the purchase of second-hand cars, because the procedure is much simpler.

 

 

Roma - the hero of socialist work, Arif, known as "thousand". Devaluation of a smile

In the former Yugoslavia during socialism, the working class was presented as the foundation of the entire system, and being a good worker was a matter of prestige. As a reward for their hard work, the workers received decorations, diplomas and recognitions and became an example for the whole society. They were the heroes of socialist work, the bright spots that showed which path everyone else should follow.

One of those who deserved to be highlighted is the miner Arif Heralić, a Roma from Bosnia. The photographer of the magazine "Borba" took a picture of him at his workplace, and that photo became the trademark of the one thousand dinar banknote.

It was a tribute to the common man, the worker, because it is common for bank notes to have the images of famous historical figures or politicians. The socialist system propagated the working class and gave it the most important place in society.

That's how it happened that one Roma deserved to be on the banknote that many Yugoslavs wanted. This banknote is popularly called the "som" dinar. Some say this stems from Arif wearing large mining glasses that resembled catfish eyes.

In 1967, a documentary film "Devaluation of a Smile" was made based on his life, which you can watch below:

Thomas Fuller an African slave in America who was an incredible mental calculator.

Thomas Fuller the African maths genius also known as "Negro Tom" and the "Virginia Calculator", was an enslaved African born in today Benin 1710 and died in 1790 USA renowned for his mathematical abilities. Also known as a mental calculator.

shipped to America as a slave in 1724. He had remarkable powers of calculation, and late in his life was discovered by antislavery campaigners who used him as a demonstration that blacks were superior not inferior to whites in academics.

In this report, Rush stressed the credibility of Hartshorne and Coates. Rush retold how Hartshorne and Coates tested Fuller's mathematical abilities as follows:

First. Upon being asked, how many seconds there are in a year and a half, he answered in about two minutes, 47,304,000.

Second. On being asked how many seconds a man has lived, who is seventy years, seven- teen days and twelve hours old, he answered, in a minute and a half, 2,210,500,800.

One of the gentlemen, who employed himself with his pen in making these calculations, told him he was wrong, and that the sum was not so great as he had said-upon which the old man hastily replied, “top, massa, you forget de leap year.” On adding the seconds of the leap years to the others, the amount of the whole in both their sums agreed exactly.

Third. The following question was then proposed to him: suppose a farmer has six sows, and each sow has six female pigs, the first year, and they all increase in the same proportion, to the end of eight years, how many sows will the farmer then have? In ten minutes, he answered, 34,588,806. The difference of time between his answering this, and the two former questions, was occasioned by a trifling mistake he made from a misapprehension of the question.

Despite Fuller's perfect answers, it appeared to Hartshorne and Coates that his mental abilities must have once been greater. Rush wrote:

He was grey-headed, and exhibited several other marks of the weakness of old age. He had worked hard upon a farm duri
