We live in demanding times. Seen in a shop in Ghent, the choice between face-only, with a demanding expression, or head-less in the distance, or ... face-less in the further distance. Clearly the first option is the best, everyone his/her own identifying face with choices tailor-made for each to consume less rather than more (In Dutch: ‘consuminderen’ instead of ‘consumeren’).... But are we good enough on the dance floor of the poly-crises to step backwards?

In 1892, a cholera epidemic devastated the docklands population, convincing the city of Hamburg to demolish the warren of overcrowded, unhygienic alleyways and start again. First came the Speicherstadt, the largest warehouse district in the world built between 1885 and 1927. Then came the Kontorhaus district. Both are part of the World Heritage site designated in 2015.
The Sprinkenhof is an architectural masterpiece and one of the great examples of Brick Expressionism, with lovely details like the intricate, late-art deco interior staircase and one of the few remaining paternoster elevators. Designed by architects Fritz Höger and the Jewish brothers Hans and Askar Gerson in 1927, the Sprinkenhof took 16 years to build in three phases. Construction was delayed by economic crises and political upheaval, the death of Hans Gerson in 1931, his brother’s persecution and eventual exile in 1938. The building was finally inaugurated in May 1943. Two months later, Allied firebombs gutted parts of it, causing damage that took years to repair.
*Working Towards a Better World
Family life is full of major and minor crises -- the ups and downs of health, success and failure in career, marriage, and divorce -- and all kinds of characters. It is tied to places and events and histories. With all of these felt details, life etches itself into memory and personality. It's difficult to imagine anything more nourishing to the soul. -
Thomas Moore
Family quarrels have a total bitterness unmatched by others. Yet it sometimes happens that they also have a kind of tang, a pleasantness beneath the unpleasantness, based on the tacit understanding that this is not for keeps; that any limb you climb out on will still be there later for you to climb back. -
Mignon McLaughlin
This is a repost of a 365 day self portrait challenge in which I combine a self portrait and an abstract painting I did of my family. The painting was done in a class in which I was asked to paint a self portrait, in those days I was rather shy so asked if I could do myself with my family and luckily for me my request was accepted.
By now you will all know the importance I put upon family it is the basis for a good life. A strong and close-knit family lasts a lifetime. I brought up my children to know that they can always rely on us parents, but they also had to learn the importance upon being able to rely upon one another as well, happily they learned this lesson successfully and they all apply it today and I am sure that they always will.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
La mine Domaniale était une mine de charbon à Kerkrade dans le bassin houiller du sud du Limbourg et la plus ancienne mine de charbon industrielle des Pays-Bas.
En 1958, 3 000 personnes travaillaient à la mine Domaniale et 481 kilotonnes de charbon étaient extraites chaque année. Les signes d'une crise du charbon étaient déjà perceptibles, mais il fut néanmoins décidé d'agrandir la mine avec la concession Neuprick . À cet effet, un nouveau puits a été construit en 1962 . Trois ans plus tard, en 1965, la décision fut prise de fermer toutes les mines néerlandaises. Les parts de la Domaniale Mijn Maatschappij furent reprises par l'État néerlandais et en 1969 la production s'arrêta définitivement. La superficie de la concession s'élevait alors à 885 hectares.
Schacht Nulland ( Neuland II ) a été construit en 1907 selon un projet de Th. H.Fr. Wilhelm Husmann. En 1919, le puits atteignit une profondeur de 260 mètres. En 1966, le puits fut encore approfondi jusqu'à une profondeur de 370 mètres.
En décembre 1965, la décision fut prise de fermer toutes les mines du Limbourg . Le jeudi 28 août 1969, le tout dernier wagon de charbon est amené à la mine Domaniale. En 1970, le puits a été rempli de béton jusqu'au sol de 63 mètres. En 1971, tous les bâtiments autour du puits ont été démolis. Le bloc du puits a survécu, a été restauré et est aujourd'hui un monument industriel. Début mai 2014, des jeunes enfants ont provoqué de graves dégâts. Schacht Nulland est ouvert aux visiteurs.
The Domaniale mine was a coal mine in Kerkrade in the South Limburg coalfield and the oldest industrial coal mine in the Netherlands.
In 1958, 3,000 people worked at the Domaniale mine and 481 kilotons of coal were mined each year. The signs of a coal crisis were already visible, but it was nevertheless decided to expand the mine with the Neuprick concession. For this purpose, a new shaft was built in 1962. Three years later, in 1965, the decision was made to close all Dutch mines. The shares of the Domaniale Mijn Maatschappij were taken over by the Dutch state and in 1969 production stopped permanently. The concession area then amounted to 885 hectares.
Schacht Nulland ( Neuland II ) was built in 1907 according to a design by Th. H.Fr. Wilhelm Husmann. In 1919, the shaft reached a depth of 260 metres. In 1966, the shaft was further deepened to a depth of 370 metres. In December 1965, the decision was made to close all mines in Limburg. On Thursday, 28 August 1969, the very last coal wagon was brought to the Domaniale mine. In 1970, the shaft was filled with concrete up to the ground of 63 metres. In 1971, all buildings around the shaft were demolished. The shaft block survived, was restored and is today an industrial monument. At the beginning of May 2014, small children caused serious damage. Schacht Nulland is open to visitors.

With this shot it can't be denied that I have been in Firenze on summer holidays. This is one little sample of the pictures I have taken there.
Firenze is really a beautiful and astounding place to visit and doing street photography.
Une grave crise démographique touche l’Europe au 14e siècle. La guerre, la famine et la Peste noire débarquée au sud de la France dès 1347 déciment la population. La ville de Rouen se voit également très lourdement impactée.
Dans la paroisse très peuplée de Saint-Maclou, le cimetière qui jouxte l’église devient bientôt trop petit pour accueillir les défunts. Ainsi, au milieu du 14e siècle, un nouveau cimetière est créé. Il devient le « grand aître », différencié du « petit aître » de l’église. Au Moyen âge, la population utilise pour désigner un cimetière, les termes d’ « aître » ou de « charnier ». Le terme « cimetière » est lui réservé au langage savant des ecclésiastiques.
Ce mot d’ancien français est issu du latin atrium. A l’époque romaine, il désigne la cour intérieure d’une maison entourée d’une galerie soutenue de colonnes. Au fil du temps, le terme atrium va être utilisé pour désigner la cour d’une église qui devient progressivement un cimetière.
De nouvelles vagues d’épidémies de peste touchent la ville de Rouen au cours du 15e et surtout du 16e siècle. Le nouvel aître se révèle alors, malgré de nombreux agrandissements de terrain tout au long du 15e siècle, une nouvelle fois trop petit pour faire face à la grande mortalité des habitants de la paroisse Saint-Maclou.
Ainsi, en 1526, la paroisse décide de construire autour du terrain du cimetière trois galeries destinées à faire office d’ossuaire. Afin de dégager de la place pour de nouvelles inhumations, les os d’anciens morts sont déterrés et placés dans ces galeries, au niveau des greniers, certainement bien ventilés et à la vue de tous. Ces galeries sont enrichies sur les parties en bois et en pierre d’un riche décor macabre.
A serious demographic crisis hit Europe in the 14th century. War, famine and the Black Death that arrived in the south of France in 1347 decimated the population. The city of Rouen was also heavily impacted.
In the densely populated parish of Saint-Maclou, the cemetery next to the church soon became too small to accommodate the deceased. Thus, in the middle of the 14th century, a new cemetery was created. It became the "grand aître", differentiated from the "petit aître" of the church. In the Middle Ages, the population used the terms "aître" or "charnier" to designate a cemetery. The term "cemetery" was reserved for the learned language of ecclesiastics.
This Old French word comes from the Latin atrium. In Roman times, it designated the inner courtyard of a house surrounded by a gallery supported by columns. Over time, the term atrium was used to designate the courtyard of a church that gradually became a cemetery.
New waves of plague epidemics hit the city of Rouen during the 15th and especially the 16th century. The new atrium then proved, despite numerous land extensions throughout the 15th century, once again too small to cope with the high mortality rate of the inhabitants of the parish of Saint-Maclou.
Thus, in 1526, the parish decided to build three galleries around the cemetery land intended to serve as an ossuary. In order to free up space for new burials, the bones of former dead were dug up and placed in these galleries, at the level of the attics, certainly well ventilated and in full view of all. These galleries were enriched on the wooden and stone parts with a rich macabre decoration.

About the National Breast Cancer Foundation
The National Breast Cancer Foundation was founded in 1991 by breast cancer survivor, Janelle Hail. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1980 at the age of 34. At the time of her diagnosis, there was little information about the disease, and she was forced to make a decision about her health with few options. After her treatment, Janelle made a commitment to help women around the world by educating them about breast cancer and the importance of early detection. NBCF’s mission is to save lives through early detection and to provide mammograms for those in need. This mission includes increasing awareness through education, providing diagnostic breast care services for those in need, and providing nurturing support services.
Fiquei afastada um pouquinho por causa de alguns probleminhas pessoais, mas agora tô bem, enfim...
Acho que sai da crise, a não ser por essa tipo infeliz.
Curti um pouquinho ^^'

Depuis plusieurs semaines, des données chiffrées relatives à l’économie chinoise, toutes négatives, s’accumulent !
Ces indicateurs, qui concernent une grave crise du secteur clé de l’immobilier, un chômage des jeunes en forte hausse ou l’entrée de la Chine en déflation, montrent clairement que, côté croissance, Pékin n’est pas à la fête !
Or ces failles sont surtout la conséquence de choix politiques, voire idéologiques, posés par le pouvoir chinois …
Sur le plan financier, l’économie chinoise fonctionne encore beaucoup en circuit fermé !
Mais ces difficultés chinoises sont aussi un avertissement pour de nombreuses entreprises du reste du monde : la Chine n’est probablement plus l’eldorado auquel ils croyaient…
Alors que, pendant des années, elles se sont parfois aveuglément précipitées en Chine, cette crise les oblige à réfléchir à d’autres solutions, à d’autres partenariats …
L’avenir nous dira comment les choses évolueront …...... à suivre donc !
N.B : Pour l'info, ce cliché a été pris en 2015 au Sablon à la terrasse de Wittamer, le célèbre pâtissier bruxellois !
___________________________________________PdF____
For several weeks, figures relating to the Chinese economy, all negative, have been piling up !
These indicators, which relate to a serious crisis in the key real estate sector, sharply rising youth unemployment or China's entry into deflation, clearly show that, on the growth side, Beijing is not celebrating!
However, these flaws are above all the consequence of political, even ideological, choices made by the Chinese authorities...
Financially, the Chinese economy still operates largely in a closed circuit !
But these Chinese difficulties are also a warning for many companies in the rest of the world: China is probably no longer the El Dorado they believed in...
While for years they have sometimes blindly rushed to China, this crisis forces them to think about other solutions, other partnerships...
The future will tell us how things will evolve... to be continued !
Widespread, common, and conspicuous, the Killdeer calls its name as it flies over farmland and other open country. Like other members of the plover family, this species is often found at the water's edge, but it also lives in pastures and fields far from water. At times, it nests on gravel roofs or on lawns. Many a person has been fooled by the bird's "broken-wing" act, in which it flutters along the ground in a show of injury, luring intruders away from its nest.
The Killdeer breeds from Newfoundland, the south rim of
Hudson Bay, and the southern Yukon and Northwest
Territories south to central Mexico and the Gulf coast.
When this one saw me it squatted and sat perfectly still like a Wilson's Snipe would do, instead of running off and then flying like a Killdeer would most often do! I found a Wilson's Snipe not 50ft from it! Maybe it thought it was a snipe instead of a Killdeer! (smile)
I found it along Peavine Road in Osceola County, Florida.
