The most unlucky ones. The happiest and unluckiest names

Scientists have conducted interesting studies to determine in which regions of Russia residents are happy and in which they are unhappy. You can see the results for yourself. Happiness literally lives on Chechen land.

27 thousand people from 100 cities of the Russian Federation answered questions from experts about satisfaction with material wealth, ecology, safety, development and level of improvement of their city. Finally, the last question was formulated with disconcerting directness: are you happy?

The study was conducted by the NewsEffector agency together with the Regions of Russia Foundation. The result is amazing (see table). As it turned out, the happiest Russians do not live in Moscow and other million-plus cities. The first places in the ranking were taken by Grozny, Tyumen, Kazan, Surgut, Krasnodar, Sochi, Nizhnevartovsk, Novorossiysk and Belgorod. Moscow was only in 52nd place, St. Petersburg - 16th, Ekaterinburg - 49th, Novosibirsk - 13th.

Actually, Anton Semenovich Makarenko explained everything long ago: the true incentive human life is tomorrow's joy. Apparently, the “rich” Muscovites, who have great opportunities, lack just that. If your working day begins with stress in traffic jams, you breathe fumes from 5 million exhaust pipes (being, moreover, the unfortunate owner of one of them), and on TV you see mostly details of either the mass death of children or the death of your favorite actress - this is happiness, to put it mildly, it doesn’t add anything. There is no clear prospect and hope that tomorrow traffic jams will clear up, road accidents will stop, and air and food will provide us with health and longevity.

On the contrary, the feeling of positive dynamics - a record 73% of respondents feel it - brought the capital of Chechnya to first place. Well, why not, when every year your city becomes better and more comfortable. Well, at the same time, one should not discount the natural optimism and cheerfulness of this people.

Bratsk, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and Chita close the happiness rating. Residents of Bratsk set a kind of sad national record: only 3% of respondents said that they were satisfied with the local ecology. There is another problem on Sakhalin: the people there are not satisfied with the dynamics of urban development, that is, simply put, the townspeople demand changes for the better from the authorities.

The most unusual picture beyond Baikal. Chita “did not fail” any single indicator. Let's say, in those who took more high places Dagestan, Buryatia or Chelyabinsk region people in to a greater extent dissatisfied with his financial situation. And the level of urban amenities of an outsider is quite comparable to such much more prosperous cities as Sochi, Pskov and Tver. But overall, Chita’s happiness index is half that of Grozny.

And yet. Look at the penultimate column - the one that indicates the percentage of those who feel happy. From 60 to 80%. This is how people think about themselves. And compare this with the results of research by analysts at the British research center New Economic Foundation. According to their data, Russia, with its sense of happiness, was in 122nd place out of 151 countries. Somewhere between Liberia, Zimbabwe and Congo on one side and Nigeria, Uganda and Burkina Faso on the other.

Many people who believe in omens believe that on Friday the 13th you need to be especially careful, not plan any important affairs or meetings, or better yet, leave the house less often. The 13th is far from the only reason to be on guard. Every culture has numbers that are interpreted as lucky and unlucky. Let's figure out what other numbers can be called unlucky and what danger they pose.

In China, the number 250 is considered an insult. In Chinese it is pronounced "uh bai wu", which means "klutz, fool." There is another version of the bad reputation of this number. IN ancient China the measure of value was 1000 coins. For goods not of the highest quality they asked for 500 coins, and low-quality goods were valued at 250 coins.

The photo shows a non-existent 250 yuan bill. It depicts the grandson of Mao Zedong. Although he does not shine with talent, he became the youngest general in the Chinese army. His only advantage is his tongue-tiedness, which made Mao Xinyu a target for the wit of Chinese bloggers.

Bulgarian mobile phone company Mobitel has suspended issuing the phone number 0888 888 888 after three owners of the number died one after another. The first user of this number was Vladimir Grashnov, former general manager companies. He died in 2001. Although he was officially diagnosed with cancer, it is suspected that he was poisoned by a competitor.

Later, the owner of this number was the drug lord Konstantin Dimitrov, who died in the Netherlands, where he went to check the state of affairs of his empire. The death was blamed on rival Russian mafia clans involved in drug trafficking.

The third owner of the number was also a drug dealer and real estate manager. Konstantin Dishliev died near a restaurant in Sofia, Bulgaria. Shortly before this, police seized a drug shipment worth £130 million that belonged to him. After his death, Mobitel blocked this number and decided not to assign it to anyone else.

In Afghanistan, the number 39 is notorious. The roots of this superstition are not exactly known. Some say that 39 in Afghani sounds the same as the expression "dead cow", others associate this number with a Kabul pimp. One way or another, Afghans avoid exactly the number 39. When they see a car with the number 39 on the license plate, they turn around and drive in the other direction, avoid settling in a house with the number 39, put in a license plate anti-identifier if this number appears in the phone number, and those over 39 say they are “one year shy of 40.”

Many superstitious people The number 11 is considered unlucky. The American mystical horror film “11.11.11” directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, which was released on November 11, 2011, is even dedicated to this number. Conspiracy theorists associate this number with the assassination of Kennedy and the tragic events of September 11. Twin Towers of the World shopping center stood next to each other, forming a giant number "11". The planes crashed into them on September 11 (1+1+9 = 11). Moreover, September 11 was the 254th day of the year, and 2+5+4 also equals 11. The first plane that crashed into the shopping center tower was on flight 11.

In Italy not lucky number is considered 17. It symbolizes death because if written in Roman numerals (XVII), it can be read as "Vixi", which means "I lived." "Vixi" is often seen on Roman tombs. In addition, it was on February 17 (one of the few events that were clearly dated in the Bible) that the global flood. In the dream interpretation system, 17 denotes failure. Many Italian hotels do not have room 17, and most Alitalia aircraft do not have row 17.

In Australian cricket, the number 87 is called the "cricket devil's number". It is believed that the batsman who scores 87 runs will lose. The superstition dates back to December 1929. 10-year-old Keith Miller watched a game involving Australian Don Bradman, who, being the best batsman of all time, scored 87 runs in the game and lost. As Miller grew up to play cricket for Australia himself, his teammate Ian Johnson was also out after scoring 87 runs.

Outside of Australian cricket, the number 111 is seen as unlucky number for cricket in general. He is called "Nelson" in honor of the famous English naval admiral Horatio Nelson. A superstition states that if a team scores 111 runs, all players must lift one foot off the ground or they will lose the next ball.

In many cultures, 7 is considered a lucky number, but in China it is associated with anger or death. Seventh month Chinese calendar It is called the “Month of Spirits”, and it is believed that ghosts live among people during this time. The real mass hysteria about the number 7 began in China in 2014 when, within seven days, starting on July 17, aircraft crashed in Ukraine, Mali and Taiwan. Flight MH17 was shot down at 17:17 in eastern Ukraine. At the same time, the Boeing 777 was in operation for 17 years (from 17/07/1997 to 17/07/2014). An Indian military helicopter crashed at 5 p.m., killing seven passengers. On 07/07, the Mi-171 helicopter of the Vietnamese army crashed at 7:37.

The number 26 is considered unlucky in India. And the Indians have more than enough reasons for this. On January 26, 2001, the Gujarat earthquake occurred, killing 20,000 people. On December 26, 2004, a tsunami struck the Indian Ocean, killing 230,000 people.

On May 26, 2007, a series of explosions occurred in the northeastern Indian city of Guwahativ. On July 26, 2008, a bomb exploded in Ahmedabad. And on November 26 of the same year, a series of terrorist attacks occurred in Mumbai.

Although the connection between numbers and natural disasters It seems far-fetched to many; such relationships can sometimes be truly creepy. Thus, since the 1960s, five different aircraft with the number Flight 191 have crashed. In 1967, the experimental X-15 aircraft on Flight 191 crashed. The pilot died. What is noteworthy is that not a single accident happened with this aircraft model. In 1972, Flight 191 crashed at Mercedita Airport in Puerto Rico. In 1979, American Airlines Flight 191 crashed at Chicago O'Hare Airport. 273 people died. In 1985, Delta Airlines Flight 191 crashed at Dallas Airport. 137 people died. In 2012, JetBlue Airways Flight 191 made an emergency landing in Texas. The pilot of this plane suddenly began to behave inappropriately until he was restrained by passengers.

Today, Delta Airlines Flight and American Airlines do not use the number 191 in their flight numbering.

It would seem, what else is needed for happiness if there is a lot of money and millions of fans around the world? Nothing more is required. This is what we think, but rich stars do not agree with this conclusion at all. Especially those who hide behind a snow-white smile the real tragedies of their personal lives, broken hearts and beaten faces. Let's imagine a list of celebrities for whom world fame brought nothing but troubles, because because of it they lost their happiness.

Riana

This dark-skinned singer cannot be forgotten. Bright, charismatic, sensual, sexy - real happiness for any man, but not for her husband. The jealous man constantly beat the singer, humiliated her, and once even brought her to a hospital bed. This is how it could be reverse side popularity.

Britney Spears

Every girl at one time dreamed of being in the place of this celebrity. However, later we all witnessed how hard Britney Spears experienced her failures. Whatever she did to herself. And she shaved her head, and made scandals in public, drank, used drugs, until she lost custody of her children. It turned out that behind the beautiful cover there was a mentally unstable personality. Nobody expected such a side effect from popularity.

Marilyn Monroe

The woman is a legend. However, her personal life was not happy. All her dreams remained unfulfilled. No husband, no children, nothing but external gloss. Her life was full of disappointments, despite the fact that men all over the world admired her beauty.

Bar Refaeli

A model with a flawless body, millions in fees and a broken heart. And it all started beautifully; an affair with Leonardo DiCaprio was supposed to bring the girl unimaginable happiness, but it brought only grief. The constant betrayals of his beloved turned Refaeli's life into a complete nightmare.

Jennifer Aniston

This actress managed to ring the most enviable groom - Brad Pitt himself. It seemed that Jennifer had pulled out her lucky ticket, but this happiness quickly ended. Brad left for another woman, and the ridicule of yesterday's fans flew at Aniston's back. Since then, although Jennifer assures everyone that everything is fine with her, no one believes her. Even marriage didn't change her public opinion, everyone believes that she decided to take this step out of revenge. But in fact, her dream is to get her ex-husband back.

Renee Zellweger

All the novels of this star lasted very short. Despite her advanced age, Renee never learned to build relationships with men. Her only marriage lasted only 4 months. The actress is lonely and no longer hopes to change her social status.

Meg Ryan

This actress divorced her husband back in 2001. Since then, she has not been able to build her personal life. Despite many fans, the star remains lonely and unhappy.

Cameron Diaz

This movie star has won many men's hearts. This is Justin Timberlake, and Matt Dillan, and Jared Leto. But none of the gentlemen invited her to marry. So the proud beauty remained alone, without children, without a husband, although an incredible number of men still claim this role.

Sandra Bullock

Outwardly, it seems that this popular actress has no problems. She films a lot, travels, and doesn’t deny herself anything. However, in 2010 it became known that this beauty got a traitor as her husband, who exchanged family happiness for the company of a stripper model. And it's not the only woman with whom the husband had fun famous actress. It is difficult to imagine the shame she had to endure when this information was leaked to the media. So Sandra cannot be called happy.

Unhappy men

Do you think the list of unlucky celebrities only includes women who are unlucky in love? Nothing of the kind. Men suffer no less. They may not show it publicly, but everyone already knows that not all Hollywood beauties are happy. Many, in pursuit of the treasured millions and army of fans, have completely forgotten that youth is not eternal. And now, they are about to retire, and they have neither wives nor children, although many of their peers are already babysitting little grandchildren.

Kevin Spacey

Only the lazy did not discuss his personal life. And since Kevin carefully hides it, many rumors about his unconventional sexual orientation appeared in the press. Regardless of whether it is true or fiction, it does not add happiness to the actor.

Jake Gyllenhaal

This actor is still quite young, but all his novels end quite quickly. Therefore, his chances of remaining alone in old age are very high. What's going on? Whether Jake himself is to blame for the fact that none of his famous lovers want to connect their fate with him, we do not know. But the list of unsuccessful novels is impressive and leads to certain conclusions. The handsome man’s love was rejected by Reese Witherspoon, Jenny Lewis, Kirsten Dunst, Taylor Swift and many other heartbreakers.

Hugh Grant

Hugh Grant was once married and quite happy. However, after the divorce, everything turned upside down. Since then, his personal life has been a complete mess. He is at odds and ends with Jemima High. Such relationships have been going on for several years now. Therefore, no one dares to call Hugh Grant happy.

Leonardo DiCaprio

He has hundreds, if not thousands, of broken hearts. He was in romantic relationships with world famous models and actresses. But in the end he never married any of them. Although several times already there were literally a few steps left to the treasured altar. He has no luck in finding his ideal life partner - this is obvious.

Keanu Reeves

Keanu Reeves is one of the most unhappy actors in his personal life. In 2000, he had a wife who was going to give him a daughter, but tragedy struck. A few days before the birth, the baby's heart stopped beating. Keanu's wife could not bear this blow, began to use drugs, drink, and soon died in a car accident. Since then the actor has not had serious relationship with women. Although novels are attributed to him, he does not confirm them. It is obvious that he has not yet recovered from the shock. And I’m not ready to build new relationships, despite my advanced age.

If there are compatible zodiac signs for marriage and happy love relationship, then it would be logical to assume that there are also incompatible ones.

Of course, in order to draw conclusions that the partners are completely unsuitable for each other, little to know their zodiac signs, here you should look into their personal horoscopes. But still some common features Zodiac signs can be in conflict and influence the couple's relationship.

Just because you and your partners find yourself on this list does not mean that you will necessarily unhappy in marriage, but it will be more difficult for you to achieve mutual understanding than compatible signs, and you'll be more likely to have to work hard at the relationship.

1st place: Cancer and Aquarius♋ — ♒

This union will be especially difficult for family life and strong and long-term relationships, since Cancer is a sign aimed at family, and Aquarius - at freedom. Cancer will constantly demand attention and care from Aquarius, and the other partner, due to his passion for independence, may constantly leave Cancer unsatisfied.

2nd place: Aries and Virgo♈ — ♍

Such a marriage or romantic relationship may turn out to be very tense and not very happy due to the difference in temperament of the partners. Aries is very active and energetic sign, and Virgo is passive and cold. She has no need for passion. So it turns out that Aries will constantly demand extreme sports and movement, will not pay attention to everyday life, and Virgo will be too tired of such pressure, she will more want to live in her own world, where everything lies on the shelves and in its place.

Incompatibility of partners

3rd place: Virgo and Aquarius♍ — ♒

Virgos will also not be in the best better relations with Aquarius, because the latter prefer ease and freedom, and Virgos love order and stability. Which Aquarius would like it when everything goes as usual and there is little change in life? He is used to changing, changing and will not be able to come to terms with monotony. Virgo is the opposite: it’s better for her when everything is very monotonous and stable.

4th place: Libra and Scorpio♎ — ♏

These two signs are located very close, but one has the energy of Venus, and the other has the energy of Mars. Libra loves to see balance and harmony in everything, but give Scorpio extremes and extremes. Libra does not like to conflict, but conflicts give Scorpio energy. Thus, Scorpio will constantly feed on the energy of Libra, taking the lion's share for themselves, and Libra will be unhappy, since their internal balance will be constantly disturbed.

5th place: Libra and Pisces♎ — ♓

This union also cannot be called successful, because Libra adore society, lightness, balance, and Pisces is a rather depressive sign that prefers loneliness, is often self-absorbed and thoughtful. Libra will constantly try to pull the Pisces partner out of his or her dreams, to show the real state of affairs, and Pisces will be too hard to accept the fact that Libra cannot give the necessary depth of feelings and emotions.

Horoscope incompatibility: zodiac signs in marriage

6th place: Leo and Capricorn♌ — ♑

These two signs are so different emotionally that it will be difficult for them to get along side by side. Capricorn is not used to especially showing his emotions, he is not impressionable and is usually aimed at achieving success. Leo loves to shine and be in sight, does not attach such of great importance material world and does not strive for ideal order. The result is misunderstandings, resentments, problematic relationships.

7th place: Aries and Pisces♈ — ♓

Not the best successful union, because their elements do not combine at all. Aries has a hot temperament and strives to take the lead. Pisces does not mind being on the sidelines, but it is difficult for this sign to understand the fire and enthusiasm, movement and constant running of Aries. Aries will be very angry that Pisces does everything very slowly and without haste, because he is always in a hurry to get somewhere! And vice versa: the Pisces partner will be very unhappy that he is required to rush.

8th place: Gemini and Scorpio♊ — ♏

Representatives of the Gemini sign are not used to taking anything to heart for a long time, and Scorpios can hold grudges for years. There may be a gap between these two signs, since it will be very difficult to understand each other. Scorpio will be constantly offended, and Gemini will laugh at him. As a result: everything can end very sadly.

Incompatibility of zodiac signs in love and marriage

9th place: Taurus and Sagittarius♉ — ♐

Main problem This pair may lie in Taurus’s laziness and desire for stability and Sagittarius’ search for new experiences. Sagittarius loves travel, moving and changing scenery. But Taurus does not need this so much; it is much more important for him to have comfort and peace. The problem will be solved if each of the signs takes turns making compromises: Taurus - to leave their homes, and Sagittarius to relax at home at least sometimes.

10th place: Cancer and Leo♋ — ♌

Another sign with which Leo will not get along under the same roof is Cancer. Although this union cannot be called very disharmonious, there will still not be as much understanding in it as we would like. Cancers are calm homebodies, and Leos love to be in the public eye. Thus, each partner will spend time differently, and this can ultimately lead to alienation and breakup. This couple can be saved common interests and hobbies.

Incompatibility by date of birth

11th place: Sagittarius and Capricorn♐ — ♑

These two signs have a very different energy, different temperament and different emotional background. Although they can complement each other, help and support, it will still be more difficult for them to get along. Capricorn does everything for a long time and tediously, he prefers to do everything according to the rules, and Sagittarius often prefers to break the rules, take risks and squander his valuables, because he is very generous. As a result, Capricorn will become nervous and angry.

12th place: Taurus and Gemini♉ — ♊

And this “unlucky” top is also completed by a couple in which the partners have completely different temperaments and often different values. Taurus is used to accumulating material wealth, and Gemini is accustomed to accumulating intellectual wealth. To live in harmony, they simply need to learn to appreciate both.
