The flag of Armenia consists of three horizontal bands of red, blue, and orange. It was adopted on August 24, 1990 by the Armenian Supreme Soviet. The red symbolizes the Armenian Highland and people's struggle, blue symbolizes the will of the Armenian people to live in peace, and orange symbolizes the creative talent and hard work of Armenians. Throughout history, Armenia used various flags representing dynasties or being part of other nations like the Soviet Union, with the modern tricolor flag's design harkening back to the first Republic of Armenia in 1918.

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

How to Prepare For a Successful Job Search for 2024Albert Qian
The document provides guidance on preparing a job search for 2024. It discusses the state of the job market, focusing on growth in AI and healthcare but also continued layoffs. It recommends figuring out what you want to do by researching interests and skills, then conducting informational interviews. The job search should involve building a personal brand on LinkedIn, actively applying to jobs, tailoring resumes and interviews, maintaining job hunting as a habit, and continuing self-improvement. Once hired, the document advises setting new goals and keeping skills and networking active in case of future opportunities.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Flag of Armenia
The national flag of Armenia, the Armenian Tricolour (known in
Armenian as եռագույն, erraguyn), consists of three horizontal
bands of equal width, red on the top, blue in the middle, and orange
on the bottom. The Armenian Supreme Soviet adopted the current
flag on August 24, 1990. On June 15, 2006, the Law on the National
Flag of Armenia, governing its usage, was passed by the National
Assembly of Armenia. Use National flag.

The meanings of the colors have been interpreted in many different ways. For example, red has stood for
the blood shed by Armenian soldiers in war, blue for the Armenian sky, and orange represents the fertile
lands of Armenia and the workers who work them.[2]

The official definition of the colors, as stated in the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia, is:
Red symbolizes the Armenian Highland, the Armenian people's continued struggle for
“ survival, maintenance of the Christian faith, Armenia's independence and freedom. Blue
symbolizes the will of the people of Armenia to live beneath peaceful skies. Orange
symbolizes the creative talent and hard-working nature of the people of Armenia.[3]
”
Design
Since the Armenian government does not specify the exact shades of red, blue, and orange, two different
versions of the flag are in common use. The more common version consists of brighter shades, whereas
the colors of the less common version are more muted. The following table gives the approximate RGB
values of the colors used in those two versions:[4]

Today's tricolor flag bears little resemblance to the earliest
Armenian 'flags'; in ancient times, armies went into battle behind
carvings mounted on poles. The carvings might represent a dragon,
an eagle, a lion or "some mysterious object of the gods."[1] With the
advent of Christianity, the Armenian empire adopted many different
flags representing various dynasties. The Artaxiad Dynasty's flag,
for instance, consisted of a red cloth displaying two eagles gazing at
each other, separated by a flower.

19th century
After Armenia was split between the Persian and Ottoman Empires,
the idea of an Armenian flag ceased to exist for some time. The
Armenian Catholic priest Father Ghevont Alishan created a new
flag for Armenia in 1885, after the Armenian Students Association
of Paris requested one for the funeral of the French writer Victor
Hugo. Alishan's first design was very similar to today's Armenian
flag: a horizontal tricolor. However, it looks more like an Alishan's 1885 design. Flag

was red, symbolizing the first Sunday of Easter (called "Red"
Sunday), followed by a green band to represent the "Green" Sunday of Easter, and finally an arbitrary
color, white, was chosen to complete the combination.[1] While in France, Alishan also designed a
second flag, identified today as the "Nationalist Armenian Flag." It too was a tricolor, but unlike the
previous design, this one was a vertical tricolor similar to the French flag. Its colors were red, green, and
blue, from left to right, representing the rainbow that Noah saw after landing on Mount Ararat.[1]
Transcaucasian Democratic Federative Republic
In 1828, Persian Armenia was annexed to the Russian Empire after
the last Russo-Persian War, and became known as Russian Armenia.
When the Russian Empire collapsed, Russian Armenia declared its
independence and joined the short-lived Transcaucasian Democratic
Federative Republic, together with Georgia and Azerbaijan. This
unified state hardly lasted a year and was soon dissolved. Since the
Republic was short-lived, it did not use any flags or symbols. Flag of Transcaucasian

was dissolved on May 26, 1918, when Georgia declared its independence as the Democratic Republic of
Georgia. Both Armenia and Azerbaijan declared their independence two days later, on May 28, 1918, as
the Democratic Republic of Armenia (DRA) and the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (ADR),
respectively.

After gaining independence, the Democratic Republic of Armenia
adopted the modern Armenian tricolor. Upon Stepan Malkhasyan's
appearance in the Armenian National Council,[6] the independent
Armenian government selected the colors used during the last
period of Rubenid Dynasty, red, blue and yellow. They chose to
replace the yellow with orange "because it merged better with the
other two colors, presenting a more pleasing composition."[1] The
flag of independent Armenia then had a ratio of 2:3, but on August
24, 1990, when the Armenian Supreme Soviet adopted it as the flag Flag of Democratic Republic
of the Republic of Armenia, the ratio was changed to 1:2.[7] An of Armenia (DRA) 1918–1922.

On November 29 1920 Bolsheviks established the Armenian SSR.
A new flag was introduced and fixed in the constitution, accepted on
February 2 1922 by the First Congress of Soviets of the Armenian Flag of Transcaucasian

SSR. That flag existed only for a month, because on March 12 the
Armenian SSR united with the Georgian SSR and the Azerbaijan
SSR under the Transcaucasian SFSR (TSFSR). On December 30 1922 the Transcaucasian SFSR became
one of the four Soviet republics that united to form the USSR. The flag of the republic had a hammer
and sickle inserted into a star with initials "ЗСФСР" (ZSFSR) written in Russian sans-serif script. These
letters stand for Закавказская Советская Федеративная Социалистическая Республика
(Zakavkazskaya sovetskaya Federativnaya Socialisticheskaya Respublika, "Transcaucasian Soviet
Federative Socialist Republic").[8] In 1936, the TSFSR was broken up into its three constituent regions,
which were named the Georgian SSR, the Armenian SSR, and the Azerbaijan SSR.
Armenian SSR
As a republic of the USSR, the Armenian SSR introduced its first
flag in 1936. Very similar to the flag of the Soviet Union, it was red
and featured a yellow hammer and sickle in the corner. Underneath
that, there were "H-Kh-S-H" initials written in Armenian serif
script. These initials, in the Western Armenian language, stand for
"Haygagan Khorhurtayin Sodzialistakan Hanrabedutyun," or the
"Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic." In the 1940s, the flag was Flag of Soviet Armenia

Republic. The initials were changed to "H-S-S-R" meaning
"Hayastani Sovetakan Sotsialistikakan Respublika" in the Eastern
Armenian pronunciation. In 1952, a new flag was introduced. The initials were removed completely and
in their place a horizontal blue stripe was added.
In late May 1988, amid rising nationalist tensions, Armenia's new Communist party leader allowed the
banned tricolour of the DRA to fly in Yerevan for the first time in over sixty years.[9] A year later,

following a Nagorno-Karabakh-themed mass demonstration where the tricolour was flown, he urged its
official recognition.[10] This came on August 24 1990, a day after the Armenian Supreme Soviet
declared the republic's sovereignty and renamed the country the Republic of Armenia. At that point, just
over a year before Armenia declared its formal independence from the USSR, the tricolour replaced the
1952 flag.
Usage
The 2006 law concerning the national flag of Armenia advises that it be
hoisted daily from:
public buildings
the seat of the presidency of Armenia;
the National Assembly of Armenia;
the Constitutional Court of Armenia;
offices of the bodies representing Armenia.
The law allows private citizens to fly the flag on their houses, provided the
flag is hoisted higher than 2.5 m (98.42") above ground level.[11] It forbids
the use of dirty, faded or tarnished flags.

On June 2, 1992, the self-proclaimed Republic of Nagorno-
Karabakh adopted a flag similar to the Armenian tricolor. A white,
five-toothed, stepped carpet pattern was added to the flag, beginning
at the two verges of the cloth’s right side and connecting at a point
equal to one-third of the distance from that side.[14] The white
pattern symbolizes the current separation of Artsakh (Nagorno-
Karabakh) from Armenia proper (since it is de jure part of Flag of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Azerbaijan) and its aspiration for eventual union with "the Flag Ratio: 1:2
Motherland."[15] The ratio of the flag’s breadth to its length is 1:2,
same as the Armenian Tricolor.[14]
In addition to the flag of Nagorno-Karabakh, the Armenian flag colors influenced the design of the
Pan-Armenian Games flag. In the center of the light blue flag are six interlocking rings, derived from the
Olympic rings. The sixth, orange-colored ring, interlocks with the blue and red rings, which symbolize
Armenia. Above the rings is a flame in the colors of the Armenian flag.[16]
The national flag is also mentioned in the song "Mer Hayrenik", the national anthem of Armenia.
Specifically, the second and third stanzas sing about the creation of the national flag:
Here brother, for you a flag,
That I made with my hands
Nights I didn't sleep,
With tears I washed it.
(repeat previous two lines)
Look at it, three colors
It's our gifted symbol.
Let it shine against the enemy.
Let Armenia always be glorious.
(repeat previous two lines)[17]
