This cream has become my unexpected summer favorite and has settled on my shelf for a long time.

Expanded opinion:
What I was guided by when buying: Absolutely nothing. It was a completely spontaneous purchase indecently early in the morning in duty free.
What the manufacturer promises: A refreshing eye cream that reduces the appearance of dark circles, puffiness and fine lines. The look instantly becomes radiant.
My skin: the skin around my eyes is normal, thin, with the first signs of age in the form of mimic wrinkles (I smile a lot). Edema does not happen, bruises under the eyes are moderate.
The actual cream: The tube has a thin spout from which it is convenient to squeeze the cream.

The color of the cream is light beige, the smell is strong floral, but it doesn’t really bother me.
It's not thick in texture, but it doesn't run. It spreads easily over the skin.
This amount is enough for one eye (I apply the cream on the bone under the eye and under the eyebrow)

The cream is quickly absorbed, it is a good base for make-up - the concealer does not fall into wrinkles, there is no oily or sticky feeling. Eyes feel good and fresh.
Before the onset of cold weather, I used this cream in the morning and evening. In hot weather, when you want to make care as easy as possible, this cream is what you need. But, as soon as the heating was turned on, my skin began to lack moisture and this cute tube went to the shelf to wait for spring.

Price: 2615 r

Testing period: 4 months

Outcome: Rating 5. For me, this is a great summer moisturizer, which I will return to in spring

For people living in modern society, money and fame are important issues. However, for a person, the need to dress, eat and provide oneself with housing, in other words, to maintain one's life, remains the most important task.

Now we are improving Nature and society and tend to forget that we are a product of Nature.

We can say that we have a rather vague idea of ​​the air, its role in our lives.

No matter how great and famous a person is, if he does not breathe, the result will be suffocation. The processes that take place in our body, the movements that we make, what is repeated most often and evens out the rhythm of our heart - all this is breathing.

Since ancient times in East Asia serious attention has been paid to breathing and it has been studied from different angles, the result of which in modern times are the methods of development presented in karate.

Karate has specific breathing techniques that came from the continent along with Buddhism and have their origins in Indian yoga.

The words "a-un breathing methods" are used in sumo theory and other schools; "a" is symbolized with an open mouth, these are the beginnings of sound, and it correlates with the beginning (originals) of the Universe, having the meaning of ordering things and returning them to balance; "un" is a closed mouth and the ending of a sound, which has a connection with the completion of the existence of the Universe; at the same time it is a source of new development.

"A" and "un" mutually replace each other in the circulation, and in accordance with what these two signs contain; ten thousand things exist. "A" is the sound of human birth, the first sound of Creation; at the same time "un" symbolizes death.

Proper deep breathing is a must. Because in Everyday life we use the vital capacity of the lungs by about 60%, no more, due to the fact that the lungs are not fully used, bad air accumulates in them and causes fatigue.

Therefore, in the moments after eating, when the body is relaxed during sleep, and in moments devoid of interest and filled with boredom, we restrain ourselves by yawning. When we yawn, the air in our lungs changes.

When we correct our breathing by consciously controlling it, we can feel its real benefits.

Moreover, those who practice martial arts should know and polish this more important art.

According to the thoughts of the ancient East, "The source of human strength is in the" tanden "and all life force comes from this center.

The youth of modern Japan, having turned their views to the technocratic civilization of the West, not only borrowed its rationalism and desire to explain everything scientifically, but also seems to have forgotten about the features of the civilization generated by the Far East - all this is a reason for reflection. At the same time, Eastern thought, which differs from Western thought in its nature, influences many in the West, especially young people and artists. We can say that the Western world, going through a critical state, shows the need for Eastern ideology.

As they say in the East, "tanden is located in the lower abdomen, just below the navel. Here is the center of strength, health and courage."

If we talk about the lower abdomen, then, according to the rules of anatomy, the rectus abdominis muscles pass from the solar plexus to the lower abdomen, and, together with them, located on both lower sides of the abdomen lateral muscles form one part of the body. In both lower sides of the abdomen (hara), next to the two lower parts of the diaphragm, is the junction point of the muscles, and it is there that when vertical position the center of gravity of the body is located in the upper part of the body ...

Ibuki as a breathing method naturally making the tanden strong and strengthening it, over time it teaches you to concentrate strength in the lower abdomen.

It is important that when the tanden is used as a center of power, the spirit is balanced, judgments about circumstances and assessment of the situation become more balanced and accurate, and the character of a person becomes flexible.

In the art of mastering one's voice, used in Japanese recitative singing, in the speech of storytellers, in opera, not to mention reading, breathing is important point, and in addition, tanden is also widely used in Japanese singing to music. Parallels can be found in Western Europe...

Therefore, excellent recitative singing, the stories of storytellers, the singing of Western musicians taken together amazingly develop the abdominal muscles and depend on the strength of the hara.

Singers and musicians who are aware of the connection between breath and tanden naturally use the strength of their bodies.

Since we practice karate, we must consciously and meaningfully strengthen tanjin with proper breathing.

In modern humans, the tanden is mostly weakened and causes disease.

Diseases of the stomach and intestines, excessive fatness, high blood pressure and hypotension, neuroses and the like are largely prevented by tanden training.

The Ibuki breathing method strengthens the tanden and serves the health and beauty of a person, bringing stability to his soul; at the same time it is very useful, and, because of its familiarity, it is, especially in karate training, indispensable.

In addition, firstly, this is the breathing method used in the attack, secondly, the method of restoring the rhythm of breathing when it is in disorder, and thirdly, this is a very important breathing method for karate.

At first, the hands must be held firmly; then inhale quietly, calmly (quietly breathe "ying"). At the moment when you inhale, it is important that the opponent does not notice it. As you inhale and keep your hands to the side of your ears, you let the air into the tanden. All this is done slowly and calmly, and most importantly - unnoticed by the enemy.

Squeezing the palms of your raised hands into fists, exhale the air. At this time, you perform the breath "e" (Chinese "yang"). When you exhale from the tanden, strength enters the lower abdomen.

With a characteristic exhalation, the arms fall along the sides, while Bottom part the abdomen becomes like iron - so it is filled with strength.

The breathing method called "in-e" is called Ibuki in karate. "Ying" here carries the meaning of the night, "e" is the day. That is why breathing is called "in-e".

This breath is the most important thing in karate.

General information

History of creation

The Ibuki was built at the Kure Naval Arsenal. It was laid down on May 22, 1907, launched on October 21, 1907, and commissioned on November 11, 1907. The project of the ships was developed on the basis of the Tsukuba armored cruiser. Initially, the Ibuki and Kurama were supposed to be of the same type, but for the first in the spring of 1906, Curtiss steam turbines were ordered, and the project had to be thoroughly reworked. The Ibuki was officially laid down on May 22, 1907, but its construction began earlier. "Ibuki" became the first Japanese turbine ship, but this did not make it faster: in tests, "Kurama" developed a speed of 21.5 knots. with a power of 23,081 hp, and Ibuki - 21.16 knots. at 28,977 hp Outwardly, both ships differed in masts: on the Kurama they were three-legged, and on the Ibuki they were ordinary.

Prerequisites for creation

The Ibuki class was planned during the Russo-Japanese War and was approved in 1904. At the same time as the battleship Tsukuba, but with heavier guns and with new geared gas turbine engines, which in the future promised to be more powerful and therefore faster.

The armor in the Ibuki class has been improved from earlier ships. The waterline belt armor was reinforced with Krupp 7-inch (178 mm) armor 12-inch gun turrets, although before that there were only 4 inches (102 mm) thick fore and aft of the turrets. lowered 5-inch (127 mm) armor that extended between the eight-inch gun turrets and protected by two 4.7-inch central casemates. In front of these turrets, the armor was 6 inches (152 mm). The ends of the main armor belt were connected to the main gun barbettes by 1-inch (25 mm) transverse bulkheads.

The primary gun turrets were protected by 9 in (229 mm) armor plates, and they had a 15 in (381 mm) roof. The armor for the eight-inch turrets was six inches thick. The main barbettes were protected by 7 inches of armor and the secondary barbettes by five inches, although the armor for those was thinned down to 2 inches (51 mm) behind the top armor belt. The thickness of the armored decks was two inches throughout the ship. The sides of the straight deckhouse were eight inches thick and its connection tube to the main deck was seven inches thick.

Main caliber

The Ibuki was armed with four 45-caliber 12-inch '41 guns mounted in twin-gun axial-hydraulic turrets. The guns had a height range of -3°/+23° and usually loaded their rounds at an angle of +5°, although loading at any angle up to +13° is theoretically possible. They fired 850 lb (386 kg) projectiles at a muzzle velocity of 2,800 ft/s (850 m/s); this gave them a maximum range of 24,000 yd (22,000 m) with an armor-piercing (AP) jacket. The intermediate armament was much heavier than in the older ships, with four twin gun turrets fitted with 45-caliber 8-inch 41s. Cannons mounted on each side. The guns could be elevated up to +30°, giving them a maximum range of about 23,000 yards (21,000 m). Their 254 lb (115 kg) projectiles were fired at a muzzle velocity of 2,495 ft/s (760 m/s).

Auxiliary/anti-aircraft artillery

Protection against torpedo boats is provided by fourteen 40-caliber 4.7-inch (41-year) Rapid Fire (QF) guns, all but two of which were removed in casemates on the sides of the hull. Machine guns fired 45-pound (20 kg) shells at initial speed 2150 ft/s (660 m/s). The ships were also fitted with four 40-caliber 12-pounder 12-pounder QF guns and four 23-caliber 12-pounder QF guns on high angle mounts. Both of these guns fired 12.5 lb (5.67 kg) projectiles at muzzle velocities of 2,300 ft/s (700 m/s) and 1,500 ft per second (450 m/s), respectively.

Mine and torpedo armament

In addition, the cruisers were equipped with three submerged 18-inch (457 mm) torpedo tubes, one on each side and one aft. Each tube was loaded with one practice torpedo and two normal torpedoes.

Service History

Shortly after commissioning, Ibuki was sent on a journey to attend the coronation ceremony of Thai King Rama VI Vajiravudh in Thailand.

Ibuki played an important role in World War I as part of Japan's contribution to the war effort under the North Atlantic Anglo-Japanese Alliance, protecting British merchant shipping in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, and participating in the pursuit of the German East Asia Squadron and SMS Emden. Ibuki initially escorted a convoy of 10 troop transports across the Tasman Sea escorted by HMS Pyramus Albany in Western Australia. Along with HMAS Sydney, Ibuki escorted Anzacs of 20,000 men and 7,500 horses across the Indian Ocean.

Ibuki was the only defense for the Anzacs when Sydney was involved in the Battle of Cocos. Ibuki's commander, Captain Katoo Kanji, wanted the honor of involving Emden, deploying the battle under the banner tied on the deck of a battlecruiser, but despite being outnumbered, Sydney was ordered to retreat and remain with the convoy. It is further celebrated by the Australian Navy as the "Samurai spirit of Ibuki" whenever Imperial Japanese ships visit Australia in subsequent years.

Doom

After the war, Ibuki became a victim of the Washington Naval Treaty and was sold for scrap on September 20, 1923, after short term service for only 15 years. Its guns have been salvaged and are used in shore batteries at Hakodate in Hokkaido and along the Tsugaru Strait separating Honshu and Hokkaido.
