"Klüsserath, official spelling until July 16, 1936: Clüsserath, on the Moselle is a local community in the Trier-Saarburg district in Rhineland-Palatinate, located approximately in the middle of Bernkastel-Kues and Trier. It belongs to the municipality of Schweich on the Roman Wine Route.
Klüsserath is located on the eastern border of the Trier-Saarburg district and is adjoined by the Bernkastel-Wittlich district.
Located in a wide, natural amphitheater in the Moselle valley, the “Klüsserath Brotherhood” wine wall behind the town is considered a classic Middle Moselle vineyard that slopes steeply to the south. Approximately 90 hectares of vineyards with a slope of up to 83% make the core location one of the largest contiguous southern slopes of the Moselle. The town of Klüsserath - a classic street village, stretches two kilometers in length between this steep slope and the Moselle. The long parallel streets are connected to each other by small alleys. The extent of Klüsserath has a proverbial character: As long as Klüsserath. The expression is also known: Richt aus Klüssert (straight ahead Klüsserath), which means something like straight ahead.
The Salm flows into the Moselle near Klüsserath.
Between the town and the foothills of the Moselle, the B 53, a former Middle Moselle road, runs along a flood protection dam that was built between 1927 and 1933.
The place name Klüsserath was subject to a wide variety of interpretations. The final syllable “-rath” refers to a clearing site (a settlement that was created through clearing). The first part of the place name could be derived from Chlodwig or Chlothar. The ending “-rada” could also indicate a swamp area at the confluence of the Moselle and Salm.
Various regional historians agree that Klüsserath was originally laid out and inhabited by Celts, although there is no reliable evidence of this. Accordingly, the local population belonged to the Celtic Treveri tribe. On his trip to Trier, the famous rhetorician and poet Ausonius visited the area at the confluence of the Salm and the Moselle and reports about it in his Mosella: “There, where green mats stretch along the river, where the Salm foams, unruly, no contemptible little water, unites with Mosella, otherwise peace in the landscape, is my homeland, my new one. With game and fish and vines, where could they be found richer! Diana, goddess of the hunt, you protect the homeland, the new one.”
At the end of the 5th century, the Franks advanced to Trier and subsequently took possession of the land in the Moselle valley. So they also settled in Klüsserath in the eastern part of the town, while the Gallo-Roman residents had settled on the Salm. On the site of the local castle there is said to have been a Franconian manor, which also included the first Klüsserath church (Michelskirche). Early ruling relationships for Klüsserath are documented as early as 634. Echternach Abbey probably received vineyards including winemakers and all accessories from Irmina von Oeren. In 698 Gerelind, daughter of the steward Odo, and Plektrud's grandson Arnulf, the founder of the abbey in Echternach, Saint Willibrord, gave goods in Klüsserath. The Echternacher Hof at the eastern end of the town is the successor to a farm from the eighth century. On May 20, 748, Chrodegang, Bishop of Metz, donated many properties of the Metz Cathedral to the Gorze Abbey, which he had founded, including: also “the village of Cluserado”. On November 12, 826, the Prüm Abbey exchanged various goods with Count Sigard and received, among other things, land and vineyards in Klüsserath. The diocese of Trier also owned property in Klüsserath. It seems that several manors existed in Klüsserath at the same time. Around 1200, the monastery of Sankt Thomas an der Kyll also acquired various goods in Klüsserath. From the end of the 13th century, the Lords of Bruch appeared as landlords in Klüsserath and, among other things, got a “house” there, which is probably the moated castle that is still preserved today. This was first mentioned in a document in 1270. The stone bridge was built over the filled-in ditch instead of the former covered wooden bridge. Today the castle is privately owned.
In 1295 a parish church was reported for the first time that was dedicated to St. Remigius and later also to St. Michael. There are records from 1304 of the construction of a new, larger church, whose Gothic choir can still be seen in today's parish church.
On December 15, 1468, the Elector of Trier, Johann II, “formally took over the protection and administration of the village of Clüsserath”. In 1512, Emperor Maximilian I interrupted his journey to Trier to the Reichstag in Klüsserath.
The pastor Johann Gerhard von Manderscheid, who was in office in Klüsserath, founded a rosary brotherhood in 1681 and donated nine vineyards to this association. The vineyards provided income with the help of which the pastor's position was filled regularly and permanently. This is where the name of the wine region known today comes from. Around 1700 a new building replaced the old Echternacher Hof, which has been preserved to this day.
On May 15, 1783, the foundation stone was laid for the reconstruction of the parish church, which was inaugurated on May 27, 1787.
Until the end of the 18th century, Klüsserath belonged to the Electorate of Trier and was part of the Pfalzel district.
As a result of the seizure of the region by French revolutionary troops, the town of Klüsserath belonged to the French canton of Schweich in the Saard department from 1798 to 1814.
Due to the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna, the region was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia. Under the Prussian administration, Klüsserath became part of the Trier district in the Trier administrative district, which from 1822 belonged to the Rhine Province. The municipality of Klüsserath was assigned to the mayor's office of Trittenheim.
The local castle was auctioned off in 1803.
In 1909 a pontoon ferry replaced the old boat ferry to Köwerich. In 1922, a war memorial was erected in the cemetery in memory of those who died in the First World War. In 1923, as a result of the occupation of the Ruhr area by the Allies and due to inflation, payments in Klüsserath were only made in French francs. In 1933/34 the parish church was expanded to its current size.
The citizens of Klüsserath experienced the end of the Second World War on March 18, 1945. The Americans occupied the village in the early morning hours of March 10, after the last German soldiers had withdrawn across the Moselle to Köwerich and Trittenheim the evening before. However, on March 11th, German guns near Heidenburg opened fire on occupied Klüsserath, which more or less continued until March 18th. During these battles, civilians suffered the heaviest casualties. Many houses were badly damaged by shells, including the church and the castle.
Mosel (German: [ˈmoːzl̩]) is one of 13 German wine regions (Weinbaugebiete) for quality wines (Qualitätswein, formerly QbA and Prädikatswein), and takes its name from the Mosel River (French: Moselle; Luxembourgish: Musel). Before 1 August 2007 the region was called Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, but changed to a name that was considered more consumer-friendly. The wine region is Germany's third largest in terms of production but some consider it the leading region in terms of international prestige.
The region covers the valleys of the rivers Mosel, Saar, and Ruwer from near the mouth of the Mosel at Koblenz and upstream to the vicinity of Trier in the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The area is known for the steep slopes of the region's vineyards overlooking the river. At 65° degrees incline, the steepest recorded vineyard in the world is the Calmont vineyard located on the Mosel and belonging to the village of Bremm, and therefore referred to as Bremmer Calmont. The Mosel is mainly famous for its wines made from the Riesling grape, but Elbling and Müller-Thurgau also contribute to the production, among others.
In the past two decades red wine production, especially from the Spätburgunder (Pinot noir), has increased in the Mosel and throughout the German vignoble and has become of increasing interest to the international wine community. Because of the northerly location of the Mosel, the Riesling wines are often light, tending to lower alcohol, crisp and high in acidity, and often exhibit "flowery" rather than or in addition to "fruity" aromas. Its most common vineyard soil is derived in the main from various kinds of slate deposits, which tend to give the wines a transparent, mineralic aspect, that often exhibit great depth of flavor. In the current era of climate change much work has been done to improve and gain acceptance for completely dry ("Trocken") Rieslings in this region, so that most of the more famous makers have found acceptance for such wines, particularly in Europe." - info from Wikipedia.

Florida's Turnpike, designated as unsigned State Road 91 (SR 91), is a toll road in the U.S. state of Florida, maintained by Florida's Turnpike Enterprise (FTE). Spanning approximately 309 miles (497 km) along a northwest–southeast axis, the turnpike is in two sections. The SR 91 mainline runs roughly 265 miles (426 km), from its southern terminus at an interchange with Interstate 95 (I-95) in Miami Gardens to an interchange with I-75 in Wildwood at its northern terminus. The Homestead Extension of Florida's Turnpike (abbreviated HEFT and designated as unsigned SR 821) continues from the southern end of the mainline for another 48 miles (77 km) to US Highway 1 (US 1) in Florida City. The slogan for the road is "The Less Stressway". The mainline opened in stages between 1957 and 1964, while the extension was completed in 1974. The turnpike runs through Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach, where it parallels I-95, and through Orlando, where it crosses I-4.
Tolls on the turnpike are an average of 6.7 cents per mile (4.2 ¢/km) for cars and other two-axle vehicles using SunPass. A trip on the entire turnpike (not including the Homestead Extension) would cost $22.59 with Toll-by-Plate, and $17.45 with SunPass.
The turnpike was originally entirely on the ticket system, but due to congestion in the Miami and Orlando metro areas, a coin system was implemented from the Three Lakes toll plaza north to the terminus at I-75, and from Lantana south to I-95, in the 1990s. In 2015, the portion between the Golden Glades toll barrier and I-595 in Davie was converted to a cashless toll system. Additional projects to convert the turnpike to an electronic collection system were completed between I-595 and Lantana in 2019, and from SR 429 north to I-75 in Wildwood in 2020.
The final stretch of the turnpike to use the ticket system ran between what are now electronic toll gantries at Lantana (mile 89.4 in Palm Beach County) and Three Lakes (mile 236.5 in Osceola County). This section was converted to a cashless system on November 8, 2021, removing the final cash-based toll collections and converting the entire length of the turnpike to electronic toll collection.
The SunPass electronic toll collection system, in use since 1999, has become the primary method of paying tolls on the turnpike, with 80% of customers using the electronic tolling as of October 2009. SunPass can be used on most Florida toll roads, in conjunction with other electronic toll collection systems in Florida (E-Pass and LeeWay). SunPass users benefit from an average of a 25% discount on tolls and access to SunPass-only exit ramps. SunPass transponders are available at the gift shop and gas stations at all service plazas, as well as Walgreens, Publix, and CVS stores statewide.[18] Since 2021, E-ZPass, which is used primarily in the Midwest and Northeast U.S., has also been accepted on Florida's Turnpike.
As the Turnpike and its system of roads are primary routes for emergency evacuations, tolls may be suspended, in cooperation with the state's emergency operations center and county governments, when a state or national emergency, most common being a hurricane watch, warrant rapid movement of the population.
Eight service plazas are located along the turnpike, spaced about 45 miles (72 km) apart. All eight plazas are open 24 hours a day and located on the center median of the turnpike for access from both directions and offer gasoline, diesel fuel, internet access, travel and tourism info and tickets, picnic areas, TV news, gift shops offering Florida Lottery, family-friendly restrooms, and pay phones. A convenience store/gas station is located at the Snapper Creek plaza on the Homestead Extension of the turnpike, while the remaining seven are full-service plazas, featuring a selection of franchised fast food restaurants. Three of the service plazas (Pompano, Port St. Lucie/Fort Pierce, Turkey Lake) also provide E85 ethanol. The Turkey Lake plaza also has a Tesla Supercharger for Tesla electric vehicles. Superchargers are also located at Ft. Drum plaza, and Canoe Creek and Okahumpa are scheduled to open Superchargers in 2021/22.
The operation of Sunshine State Parkway gas stations and service centers was originally bid out under separate contracts, and as a result, differing petroleum brands operated concurrently along the parkway, with varying levels of service and pricing. This practice was discontinued in 1995 when all service center operations were combined to improve supply and continuity of service; with Martin Petroleum, a Florida corporation, operating the stations with Citgo brand fuel at its stations. Since then, the Venezuelan government, under President Hugo Chávez, nationalized Citgo, and in 2006, political controversy resulted in a movement to remove the brand from the turnpike.
In 2009, Areas U.S.A. signed a 30-year contract for operation of food and retail concessions, taking over operations from Martin Petroleum and HMSHost. Florida Turnpike Services, L.L.C., Areas' partner, replaced the Citgo brand with Shell, the current brand for gas stations along the turnpike. Many of the restaurant brands were also changed over, with Dunkin' Donuts replacing Starbucks locations as well as KFC, Pizza Hut, Villa Pizza and Wendy's replacing most Popeyes and Burger King locations. The reconstruction and renovation of six of the service plazas began on November 1, 2010, to be completed in 2012. The Okahumpka and Ft. Pierce plazas will begin reconstruction when the other plaza projects are complete. Total renovation costs are estimated at $160 million.

SCT operate approximately 2 return trips a week between their Penfield Depot and Port Germein to exchange Adelaide loading from their 7GP1/3PG1 services. The loading is dropped off on a purposely built siding at Port Germein with shunts occurring when the GP/PG services arrive, any Adelaide bound loading from these services returns to Penfield whilst loading from Adelaide is exchanged and placed onto the train.
Late running SCT Shuttle service 4414S powers through the trackside grass at Korunye with SCT010/SCT008 in charge of 17 wagons on Sunday the 24th of November 2019, a late running 7GP1 held up the return service, with these wagons and locomotives exchanged with the loading before forming the return service back to Penfield. The locomotives were replaced by CSR005/SCT013 which continued working 7GP1 towards Forrestfield.

Echium is a genus of approximately 70 species and several subspecies of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae. The type species is Echium vulgare. Species of Echium are native to North Africa, mainland Europe to Central Asia and the Macaronesian islands, where it reaches its maximum diversity. Many species are used as ornamental and garden plants and may be found in suitable climates throughout the world. The seed oil from Echium plantagineum contains high levels of alpha linolenic acid (ALA), gamma linolenic acid (GLA) and stearidonic acid (SDA), making it valuable in cosmetic and skin care applications, with further potential as a functional food, as an alternative to fish oils. 5440

It's cold. the kind of cold that turns your coffee into an ice coffee in approximately 30 seconds while walking along the canals. but then the sun comes out to play and suddenly you find that perfect moment when the light is just right. so right that you don't even care about your coffee anymore. you hit the shutter and you feel this warmth rushing over you.

Assassin's Creed: Venice 1486 - Chapter 1 - Osservare
So this is where i worked on for the past 3years (on and of). Approximately 3000 hours and 250.000 parts later I present to you with great pride and incredible detail; Venice 1486 as it might have looked in the 15th century.
This is the first chapter of a total of 4, in which I'll take you into an adventure of Darion as a Master Assassin.
Let me know what you think 🙏
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Osservare" in the English tongue better known as Observing. By far the most boring thing about finding your mark, but absolutely necessary.
Meet 'Darion Aiulf da Fortebraccio' and his eyes and ears in the sky 'Gaita' an Italian barn owl. Darion is a Venetian nobleman, and to others unknown also a Master Assassin and former member of the Italian Brotherhood of Assassins.
Abandoned by his brothers and mentor for disobedience. He now is a solitary assassin that seeks his targets through the signs of god. For his next mark, faith steered Darion in the direction of the Templar order. Who now have a foothold on Venice city grounds and even managed to get the newly elected doge 'Marco Barbarigo' on their side. Marco openly expressed his support for the Templar Order...
And so this is where our story begins!
Where other men blindly follow the truth, Remember, nothing is true.
Where other men are limited by morality or law, Remember, everything is permitted.
We work in the dark to serve the light.
We are assassins!

Approximately 4,000 years old; a massive granite capstone rests on the three upright supporting stones of this dolmen in a field within Dartmoor National Park.
Known as Spinsters Rock, one theory links the name to the three Fatal Sisters of Norse mythology who weave the destiny of the world; presumably referring to the sisters, Urd, Verdandi, and Skuld who lived at the bottom of Yggdrasil - the World Tree.
