Two Broken Hearts
Staying away from you is torturing me
Be a little flirty, is there any need for coyness
While I have opened the door of my heart to you
Let two broken hearts come together
If you want to extinguish my burning heart
This cry of mine is for you, this is a loud call
Break your horse with spur towards me
Let two broken hearts come together
You never show it, you have no words about love
You have turned to ashes, as if you have no embers to ignite
Either you are too hesitant or you have no eyes for love
Let two broken hearts come together
Don't destroy this ruined heart of mine anymore
Come hide in my heart and don't come out anymore
Come on, hold my hands, don't look helpless anymore
Let two broken hearts come together
NIGHTS DON'T PASS
Nights don't pass, they don't pass
Is it possible to get you out of my mind
Fall into a sleepless night
I hope you'll understand me then
You're not on one side, longing on the other
My poor mind is wasted without you
If you're left like me in a lonely inn
I hope you'll understand me then
When your eyes suddenly fill with tears
Don't think that troubles will end in the morning
When you're left in trouble like me
I hope you'll understand me then
If the thing you call life disappears one day
If love, respect, everything ends one day
If separation comes one day
I hope you'll understand me then
Is it certain to reap what you sow
What do you expect from unkempt soil
If an old picture makes you cry
I hope you'll understand me then

(Easy Co., Mercury Rules Virgo and Gemini, and the Birds in the Trees)
We had fourteen days free and went to the forests each morning to walk. There was a car there that said, – EASY CO. and that was the car I happened to park behind one day, the last day actually. I took it as a Jungian synchronic sign as I used to buy Sgt. Rock comics often as a kid and his war group of soldiers were called Easy Company. I used to read each issue and also the letters of compliments and questions to the makers of the comic that they published at the back each issue. How I loved the adventure stories and the art, and one got to know each character of the comic through the years.
Inside the paths, the woodlands wild and whimsy driven and wondrous, I was walking with Tara, a Virgo. I am Gemini and we are the only two signs ruled by the same planet, Mercury, the fastest planet, the messenger, the one that denotes communication. The birds in the trees called out, and sometimes a squirrel ran away or a chipmunk. Verdant place. Kind atmosphere. A little too hot and humid those days for my liking. But the autumn would one day come. Still, we followed the idea of three S’s,…short, shaded, and slow,- when it was mighty hot. Sometimes a breeze came along. Sometimes not. Mostly empty area. But once in a while a solitary jogger, or an old couple, something. There, a heron that fishes for food by the still pond, and little groups of wild roses, where when their petals are absent the middle looks like a berry red.
I talked to Tara, about the things people talk about,- current events local and the greater world, plus spirituality, things like karma and dreams and journeys. Silence is okay also. Just the sight of the leaves. Or raspberries. Stones. The plain earth itself. The paths are often gravel but at times sand. Orchids are there, and ferns green and wild. I know where some snakes live, and I know all the trails through experience, time, steps. So does she. Little marshes and bogs,- the logs and an owl watching in the day if you are lucky. It’s not an ambitious worldly achievement, but there are worse things people do than nature walk. I loved the fourteen days. Talk walk see be. Believe contemplate meditate heal. Like love belong and dream. Ideas for writings, plus landscape photography, blossom often and well, yes blossom like the summer wildflowers.

The Clouds
Clouds float gently in the sky so high,
Soft whispers of dreams as they drift by.
They gather in clusters, then break apart,
A canvas of wonder, a work of art.
White and fluffy, like cotton they seem,
Or dark and heavy, with a storm's gleam.
They dance with the wind, in a graceful flight,
Changing shapes in the morning light.
Some bring rain, a refreshing kiss,
Others shade the earth in a moment of bliss.
They tell tales of lands far and wide,
Of mountains, oceans, and the world's great tide.

So, while these dimensions inevitably overlap and influence each other, they provide a general guide to understanding ourselves and are a source of artistic inspiration.

PRINCIPLES AND LEVELS OF FOOD SAFETY ASSESSMENT Ibrahimova Ilnura Shukhratovna 2nd year student of the Faculty of Industrial Technologies of the Termiz Institute of Engineering Technology +99890.246.96.76. Abstract: An article about food safety, requirements and standards.
Key words: Laws and regulations in the evaluation of food products, GOST standard requirements, measures aimed at determining the distance of products. Introduction: Finding a solution to a number of issues aimed at providing the population with healthy food products, improving a healthy lifestyle and increasing the income of the population.
Main part: Food safety refers to the safety of food products during production, storage, preparation and consumption in order to prevent food-borne diseases and disorders. Food products are among the most traded goods in the world. As markets become increasingly global and the world’s population continues to grow, the global food supply chain will only continue to grow in scale and complexity. Due to these megatrends affecting the mass production and distribution of food, food safety has never been more important. Food safety is one of the most pressing challenges facing countries around the world.
The UN is also saying today that it is time to completely change the approach to food production and distribution. After all, in an ideal situation, agriculture, forestry and fisheries are able to provide everyone with food and create a source of income for people, as in the brochure. Moreover, in such a case, agriculture will develop in the interests of people, and environmental protection measures will be implemented.
According to UN data, 815 million of the world’s population are starving, and by 2050 this number will increase to 2 billion. 12.9 percent of them live in developing countries. 45% of deaths among children under the age of five are caused by malnutrition. Today, 3.1 children die every year because of this. Agriculture is the largest employer in the world. Today, 40 percent of Kurrai’s population earns their living through this industry. It is the main source of income and employment for families in poor villages.
