The Jewish Square, Vienna 1, formed in the Middle Ages under the name of "schoolyard" the center of the former Jewish Town, extending next to the Ducal court. It was closed from the rest of the city by four gates. Here there were school, bathhouse, synagogue and the house of the rabbi. The school was one of the most important of German-speaking countries. The community existed from about 1190 to the Vienna Geserah in 1421.
The stemming from the 15th century Jordan House, Nr. 2, bears a late Gothic relief with the representation of Jesus' baptism in the Jordan. This is not only a reference to the name of the house owner, Jörg Jordan, but also to the Vienna Geserah which the accompanying text endorses. On the initiative of Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, the Archdiocese of Vienna donated a plaque which Cardinal Franz König on 29 October 1998 unveiled. Its text reads: "Kiddush HaShem" means "sanctification of God". With this awareness, chose Viennese Jews in the synagogue here on Jewish Square - the center of an important Jewish community - at the time of persecution 1420/21 the suicide to escape a feared by them forced baptism. Others, about 200, were burnt alive in Erdberg (today 3rd district of Vienna) at the stake. Christian preachers of that time spread superstitious anti-Jewish ideas and thus incited against the Jews and their faith. So influenced, Christians in Vienna acquiesced without resistance, approved it and became perpetrators. Thus, the liquidation of the Vienna Jewish Town in 1421 was already a looming omen for what happened in our century throughout europe during the Nazi dictatorship. Medieval popes pronounced unsuccessfully against the anti-Jewish superstition, and individual believers struggled unsuccessfully against the racial hatred of the Nazis. But those were too few. Today Christendom regrets its involvement in the persecution of Jews and recognizes its failures. "Sanctification of God" today for Christians can only mean: asking for forgiveness and hope in God's salvation. October 29, 1998
Already in 1910, consisted the plan here the poet of the Enlightenment, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729-1781), who in his play "Nathan the Wise" the interdenominational tolerance has put up a literary monument, to honor with a statue. In 1935, a sculpture by Siegfried Charoux was unveiled, but only four years later, in 1940, taken off and melted down for armaments. In 1968, the same artist created again a Lessing monument, which came first on the Morzin square and 1981 on the original site.
Since 2000, the place is a unique ensemble of remembering with the memorial by Rachel Whiteread for the 65,000 Austrian victims of the Shoah. 1995 the foundations of the in 1420 destroyed synagogue were excavated which now with finds constitute a part of the branch of the Jewish Museum Vienna. A computer-animated walk leads into one of the largest Jewish communities in Europe which existed here in the early 15th century. Another room is dedicated to the Shoah documentation.
Der Judenplatz, Wien 1, bildete im Mittelalter unter dem Namen „Schulhof“ den Mittelpunkt der einstigen Judenstadt, die sich neben dem Herzogshof erstreckte. Sie war durch vier Tore von der übrigen Stadt abgeschlossen. Hier befanden sich Schule, Badestube, Synagoge und das Haus des Rabbiners. Die Schule war eine der bedeutendsten des deutschen Sprachraums. Die Gemeinde bestand ab etwa 1190 bis zur Wiener Geserah im Jahre 1421.
Das aus dem 15. Jahrhundert stammende Jordanhaus, Nr. 2, trägt ein spätgotisches Relief mit der Darstellung der Taufe Jesu im Jordan. Dieses ist nicht nur eine Anspielung auf den Namen des Hausbesitzers, Jörg Jordan, sondern auch auf die Wiener Geserah, die der beigefügte Text gut heißt. Auf Initiative von Kardinal Christoph Schönborn stiftete die Erzdiözese Wien eine Gedenktafel, die Kardinal Franz König am 29. Oktober 1998 enthüllte. Ihr Text lautet: „Kiddusch HaSchem“ heißt „Heiligung Gottes“ Mit diesem Bewußtsein wählten Juden Wiens in der Synagoge hier am Judenplatz — dem Zentrum einer bedeutenden jüdischen Gemeinde — zur Zeit der Verfolgung 1420/21 den Freitod, um einer von ihnen befürchteten Zwangstaufe zu entgehen. Andere, etwa 200, wurden in Erdberg auf dem Scheiterhaufen lebendig verbrannt. Christliche Prediger dieser Zeit verbreiteten abergläubische judenfeindliche Vorstellungen und hetzten somit gegen die Juden und ihren Glauben. So beeinflusst nahmen Christen in Wien dies widerstandslos hin, billigten es und wurden zu Tätern. Somit war die Auflösung der Wiener Judenstadt 1421 schon ein drohendes Vorzeichen für das, was europaweit in unserem Jahrhundert während der nationalsozialistischen Zwangsherrschaft geschah. Mittelalterliche Päpste wandten sich erfolglos gegen den judenfeindlichen Aberglauben, und einzelne Gläubige kämpften erfolglos gegen den Rassenhaß der Nationalsozialisten. Aber es waren derer zu wenige. Heute bereut die Christenheit ihre Mitschuld an den Judenverfolgungen und erkennt ihr Versagen. „Heiligung Gottes“ kann heute für die Christen nur heißen: Bitte um Vergebung und Hoffnung auf Gottes Heil. 29. Oktober 1998
Schon 1910 bestand der Plan, dem Dichter der Aufklärung Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729-1781), der in seinem Stück „Nathan der Weise“hat Lessing der interkonfessionellen Toleranz ein literarisches Denkmal gesetzt hat, hier mit einem Standbild zu ehren. 1935 wurde eine Plastik von Siegfried Charoux enthüllt, doch schon vier Jahre später entfernt und 1940 für Rüstungszwecke eingeschmolzen. 1968 schuf der selbe Künstler wieder ein Lessing-Denkmal, das zunächst auf den Morzinplatz und 1981 an den ursprünglichen Aufstellungsort kam.
Seit 2000 ist der Platz ein einzigartiges Ensemble des Erinnerns mit dem Mahnmal von Rachel Whiteread für die 65.000 österreichischen Opfer der Schoa. 1995 wurden die Fundamente der 1420 zerstörten Synagoge ergraben, die nun mit Funden einen Teil der Außenstelle des Jüdischen Museums Wien ausmachen. Ein computeranimierter Spaziergang führt in eine der größten jüdischen Gemeinden Europas, die Anfang des 15. Jahrhundert hier bestand. Ein weiterer Raum ist der Schoa-Dokumentation gewidmet.

The beautiful white form of this now nationally rare wet meadow flower. Unusually it is in the majority at this reserve. Other shots below show the extent of them on the reserve. Upper Waterhay, Wiltshire Wildlife Trust Reserve, Nr. Cricklade, Wiltshire, UK. 2017-04-10.
Handheld long exposure at night. The cars are moving very fast so all is left behind is the beautiful forms left behind of their headlights.
Here you also see more elongated signage on the road intended for drivers. In Hong Kong, signage on the road is typical, and one can reason that it is a lot safer this way to keep the drivers’ eyes on the road instead of up above.

This photo was so fun to shoot, even though it killed my eyes. I was shooting directly at a bulb when it was lit. Also, it was not taken in a dark room. I turned my ISO WAY up to get this photo.
I chose this for form because one can really see the 3-D aspect of the bulb. Even though it is the source of light, there are shadows on the edges and the bottom. The bulb itself is a little dusty, and I really liked that because it looked natural. I took several shots of this object, but this was the first one and I liked it the most. In photoshop, I adjusted the color a little bit to make the bulb a little darker and sharpened it around the edges.
Coquina from the Quaternary of Florida, USA.
Sedimentary rocks form by the solidification of loose sediments. Loose sediments become hard rocks by the processes of deposition, burial, compaction, dewatering, and cementation.
There are three categories of sedimentary rocks:
1) Siliciclastic sedimentary rocks form by the solidification of sediments produced by weathering & erosion of any previously existing rocks.
2) Biogenic sedimentary rocks form by the solidification of sediments that were once-living organisms (plants, animals, micro-organisms).
3) Chemical sedimentary rocks form by the solidification of sediments formed by inorganic chemical reactions. Most sedimentary rocks have a clastic texture, but some are crystalline.
Limestone is a common biogenic sedimentary rock composed of the mineral calcite (CaCO3), which bubbles in acid. Many geologically young limestones are composed of aragonite (also CaCO3). Numerous varieties of limestone exist (e.g., fine-grained limestone/micritic limestone/lime mudstone, coquina, chalk, wackestone, packstone, grainstone, rudstone, rubblestone, coralstone, calcarenite, calcisiltite, calcilutite, calcirudite, floatstone, boundstone, framestone, oolitic limestone, oncolitic limestone, etc.). The most distinctive type can be given the generalized name fossiliferous limestone, which is composed of abundant whole & fragmented fossil shells and skeletons, usually mixed with mud. Most limestones represent deposition in ancient warm, shallow ocean environments.
The sample shown above is a distinctive variety of fossiliferous limestone called coquina. It is composed of mollusc shells and fragmented shells (typically clam and snail shells - bivalves and gastropods). Coquinas have high porosity - a significant amount of empty space exists between the grains. This results in coquina having a spongy appearance.
Coquina had military significance in early American history. Some military forts in Florida were constructed with coquina walls. The coquina essentially absorbed any cannonballs that were shot at the fort. Coquina is a fairly common sedimentary rock in the Quaternary of Florida.
This sample is apparently derived from shallow subtidal seafloor outcrops. If this was the Atlantic coast of Florida, it would be assigned to the Anastasia Formation. However, this is from the Gulf Coast of Florida. I see no reason why the same lithology of the same age deposited in the same environment shouldn't also be referred to as the Anastasia Formation.
Stratigraphy: Anastasia Formation (?), Pleistocene or Holocene
Locality: loose piece on marine beach near the southern end of the western shoreline of Cayo Costa Island, Gulf of Mexico coast of southwestern Florida, USA (vicinity of 26° 36' 51.30" North latitude, 82° 13' 24.39" West longitude)
El valle de Benasque (Vall de Benás en patués) es un valle aragonés y ribagorzano del Pirineo aragonés situado en la actual comarca de la Ribagorza, en el tramo superior de la cuenca del río Ésera.
El valle de Benasque forma una unidad geográfica delimitada por toda la cuenca superior del Río Ésera, la "Aigüeta Mayó", hasta que éste sale del mismo formando un angosto cañón, el Congost de Ventamillo, que perfora las Sierras Exteriores pirenaicas de Chía y Abi o Arbi y el Turbón, que cierran el valle al sur. Esta unidad se estructura en tres partes geomorfológicamente bien diferenciadas repartidas entre 7 municipios que agrupan 26 localidades en total:
Benasque-septentrional. Corresponde a la mitad superior de la cuenca del Ésera en el valle. Coincide con los términos municipales de la Villa de Benasque (con las localidades de Benasque, Cerler y Anciles) y de Sahun (con las localidades de Eriste, Sahun y Eresué).
Benasque-medio. Comprende la mitad inferior de esa cuenca. Abarca los términos de Sesué (Sesué y Sos), Villanova, Chía y Castejón de Sos (con esta localidad, Liri, Ramastué y El Run).
Benasque-meridional. Geográficamente lo forman las cuencas de los dos últimos afluentes en la margen izquierda del Esera, los barrancos de Urmella y de Rigabas. Todo el corresponde al municipio de Bisaurri, el cual comprende además de esa localidad a Arasán, Urmella, Gabás, Verí, S. Feliu de Veri, S. Martín de Veri, Renanué, La Muria, Dos, San Valero y Bullelgas.
En Benasque-septentrional se sitúan los tres grandes macizos montañosos septentrionales del valle, el la Madaleta, el del Posets (Llardana, en benasqués) y el del Perdiguero, donde residen las cimas más altas del Pirineo(destacando los picos de Aneto, de 3.404 metros de altitud, y el Posets) y se conservan la gran mayoría y los más extensos de los glaciares pirenaicos, los únicos de España. Esos macizos se estructuran en torno a cuatro valles: el central que forma el río Esera y los tres principales valles con aguas tributarias de éste: Estós, Eriste y Vallibierna. Cuatro grandes valles, cada uno de ellos un pequeño universo de alta montaña, que se descomponen en numerosos valles laterales (destacan los de Lliterola, Remuñe, y Cregüeña en el Ésra, Batisielles-Perramó y La Paul, en Estós y la Aigüeta La Vall en el de Eriste), que descienden las altas cumbres alimentando infinidad de pequeños lagos y dibujando bellas cascadas entre praderas y bosques alpinos.
La riqueza y diversidad de la geología, botánica, zoología y paisajes de ese extenso territorio ha impuesto la protección y conservación de esos cuatro valles declarándolo Parque Natural de Posets-Maladeta por la Comunidad Autónoma de Aragón. El parque cuenta con el apoyo de refugios de alta montaña en los cuatro valles, tres de ellos guardados todo el año: el Refugio de Orús en el Valle de Eriste, el Refugio de Estós en este valle, y el Refugio de Llanos del Hospital - adjunto al Hotel- y el Refugio de la Renclusa.
Benasque es el valle pirenáico con mayor número de cumbres superiores a 3.000 metros (en torno a ochenta, el 20% del total de esa cordillera) y de lagos de alta montaña, denominados "ibón" en lengua benasquesa. Alberga la unidad montañosa española de mayor extensión y altura que, geomorfológica y climáticamente, pueda considerarse nétamente alpina, es decir alta montaña (de la que debe excluirse, por su meridionalidad climatica, tanto a Sierra Nevada como al Teide, las únicas alturas españolas que superan las cumbres benasquesas). Es el principal valle de alta montaña de la cordillera del Pirineo y de España.[cita requerida]
La localidad de Cerler posee las Pistas de Esquí Alpino de Aramón-Cerler, 90 km de pistas, con el único eslalom gigante de España (con más de 1200 m. de desnivel). Completa la oferta de esqui, las Pistas de Esqui Nórdico de Llanos del Hospital en pleno Parque Natural de Maladeta-Posets y en el complejo hotelero de alta montaña de Llanos del Hospital.
Los fondos de los barrancos laterales de la parte media y meridional del valle permiten la practica del barranquismo, mientras que el valle agrega la práctica del parapente en Castejón de Sos aprovechando los fuertes desniveles de la montaña del Gallinero y su condiciones atmosféricas.
El valle de Benasque está estructurado en tres unidades diferenciadas: norte, media y sur, también coincidentes con sus tres partes geográficas. Esa unidad se ha forjado, a lo largo de la historia, por muchos factores comunes a las 26 localidades, "llugars", y a las distintas "Casas" (unidades patrimoniales familiares que trascienden a las personas individuales que las componen) en que se descompone cada "llugar". Hay un pasado común en lo económico, jurídico, cultural, religioso, en torno a la Virgen común de Guayen, arquitectónico y las relaciones humanas e interfamiliares, que configuran el Valle de Benasque.
Su lengua es el benasqués, que se conserva plenamente viva tanto en el habla cotidiana como en la escritura. Ésta constituye actualmente la modalidad noroccidental de la lengua ribagorzana, la cual se formó por la interrelación, realizada entre los siglos XI y XVIII, entre la lengua ribagorzana, una la lengua románica autónoma -sin influencias de otras lenguas - terminada de formar durante la independencia, entre los siglo IX a XI, del Condado de Ribagorza, y la también románica lengua aragonesa, hablada en el resto del Reino de Aragón y en la Casa Real de Aragón hasta el siglo XV (llegada de la Casa Trastamara en virtud del Compromiso de Caspe).
Se pueden comprobar dos zonas muy diferenciadas, la parte antigua, en torno a las plazas Mayor y la del ayuntamiento, y la parte nueva, con edificios, apartamentos, comercios y otras construcciones modernas. Hay varios ejemplos de arquitectura popular pirenaica. En el puerto de Benasque se encontraba el hosptial de los monjes herreros, u Hospitalarios.

This form called beardless wheatgrass, which is identical to bluebunch wheatgrass (Agropyron spicatum spicatum) except for lacking lemma awns, is commonly used to revegetate road cuts and post-burn settings in the open arid regions of this region of western North America. Note that the glumes are much shorter than then internodes.
