Sicherheit. Immer mit dabei.
Ich habe gerne eine Sicherheitsnadel in meiner Handtasche. Sie hat mir schon in vielen Fällen gute Dienste geleistet ;-)

I like to have a safety pin in my handbag. She already has served me in many cases ;-)
The American Walter Hunt (1796-1859) was an imaginative mechanic and had made quite a few useful inventions, but had not been able to derive any financial benefit from it. So it came that he was again in need of money in 1849 and considered how he could earn $ 15, which he owed a friend. As he pondered, he played with a piece of wire, which he bent into a lock. So, according to legend, he invented the safety pin. What distinguished her from a conventional brooch? Her pointed end did not stick out and caused injury to the clumsy user, but was hidden in a rounded lock. The safety pin could not open in this way, nor was their tip dangerous. On April 10, 1849 Hunt patented the safety pin and immediately sold the patent to his friend for only $ 400. After deducting his debts, he still had $ 385 left ... The safety pin began its triumphal procession and was useful not only in tailoring but also in child care. Cloth diapers for babies could be closed safely and easily. For more than 100 years, safety pins have served us well here, until in the 1970s the diapers with adhesive closures prevailed ...

Der Amerikaner Walter Hunt (1796-1859) war ein einfallsreicher Mechaniker und hatte schon etliche nützliche Erfindungen gemacht, doch war es ihm nicht gelungen, einen finanziellen Nutzen daraus zu ziehen. So kam es, dass er 1849 mal wieder in Geldnot geraten war und überlegte, womit er 15 Dollar verdienen könnte, die er einem Freund schuldete. Beim Grübeln spielte er mit einem Stückchen Draht, das er zu einem Verschluss bog. So erfand er der Legende nach die Sicherheitsnadel. Was sie von einer herkömmlichen Brosche unterschied? Ihr spitzes Ende ragte nicht mehr heraus und sorgte beim ungeschickten Benutzer für Verletzungen, sondern war in einem abgerundeten Verschluss verborgen. Die Sicherheitsnadel konnte auf diese Weise weder von selbst aufgehen, noch wurde ihre Spitze gefährlich. Am 10. April 1849 ließ sich Hunt die Sicherheitsnadel patentieren und verkaufte das Patent sogleich für nur 400 Dollar an seinen Freund. Nach Abzug seiner Schulden hatte er zwar noch 385 Dollar übrig … Die Sicherheitsnadel trat ihren Siegeszug an und machte sich nicht nur im Schneiderhandwerk sondern auch in der Kinderpflege nützlich. Stoffwindeln für Babys ließen sich damit nämlich sicher und einfach verschließen. Über 100 Jahre lang leisteten Sicherheitsnadeln hier nützliche Dienste, bis sich in den 1970er Jahren die Windeln mit Klebeverschlüssen durchsetzten …

Den 1. Mai nutzen wir heute mit Begeisterung als freien Tag zum Tanz in den Mai und für Ausflüge.
Doch eigentlich beruht der Feiertag auf einem blutigem Protest.
Er geht auf den 1. Mai 1886 zurück, an dem in den USA ein mehrtägiger Generalstreik begann. Das Ziel der Arbeiter war es, einen Achtstundentag durchzusetzen. Doch die Lage eskalierte. Sowohl Demonstranten als auch Polizisten starben.
Am 4. Mai warf ein Teilnehmer der Proteste eine Bombe, die einen Polizist tötete. Bei den folgenden Kämpfen starben sieben Polizisten und wohl über 20 Arbeiter. 300 Demonstranten wurden verletzt.

Dramatic masks to help display the soulful eyes - as part of the "eyes" theme for Macro Monday originally, I captured this theater mask. I’ve had this mask forever as I have been in dance (and some theater) since I was very young!

Alvin likes'em a Peanut from the Buffet ever now and then, but unfortuantley for Alvin, Boo Bear, Wiley Coyotte and Red Fox frequent the Buffet every now and then as well and would like nothing better than to have a "Chipnugget" from the Buffet. Now Alvin is well aware of his dilemma due to that circumstance and before rushing down to get his Peanut from the Buffet, he scopes the area out from the safety of his front door. Once at the Buffet he orders his Peanut "ToGo" and scampers on back to his domicile for he wants to get back in time to watch his favorite show The Roadrunner and much to our joy, makes it safely back home. The End :)

RECIPE for 4-5 small containers
325 gr of fresh ginger, peeled;
grate half of the ginger, cut other half in small cubes;
Bring to a simmer in 1 liter of water and cook slowly for 1,5 hours;
Put the ginger through a sive, preserving 0,5 liters of fluid;
Put the ginger and the preserved fluid in a clean pot and let cool and rest overnight;
Add 750 gr of jelly sugar and the grated zest and juice of 1 lemon;
Bring to a boil and boil while stirring until a drop of fluid turns quickly in a jelly when put on a cold saucer. For me it took about 3 minutes;
Put the marmalade in sterilised containers and close the lid firmly;
When the marmalade is cooled down a bit turn the containers upside down to distribute the ginger cubes more evenly through the jelly
Lorsque je me suis aventuré dans un magasin de plantes situé non loin du Zoo d'Auckland, cette touffe de tiny petites fleurs de Limomium Blue Velvet m'a interpellé et c'est avec grand plaisir que je l'ai adoptée.

Wild flower meadows are magical places to be in the Spring. I love just to sit amongst the grasses and flowers and listen to the birds and the breeze.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.

Ich bin gegen Wind geradelt und gönne mir eine Pause mit Blick aufs Watt. Da der Wind das Fahrrad umwerfend würde, habe ich es gleich gelegt.
On Saturday April 19 ... I've decided we'll do something we've never done before in this group... a "FREE THEME".

I believe this is a Great Horned Owl... but they're currently updating their website and I can't find the information on all the owls they have.
