93-99 Pratt St
A century-old downtown Hartford retail-office building with the potential for conversion to apartments straddling the corner of Pratt and Trumbull streets is for sale at $2.9 million, brokers say.
Trumbull Towers Management owns the six-story, approximately 100,000-square-foot edifice on about a half-acre at 93-99 Pratt St. and is representing itself in sale talks, according to the building leasing broker Amodio & Co. Real Estate.
Built in 1910, the property is comprised of two interconnected buildings whose tenants include Caribbean bar-restaurant The Russell and Max Bibo’s On Trumbull St. delicatessen.
we live in a culture that craves more: more accolades, self-improvement, and ambition; more comfort and consumption; more doing. when i feed the craving, there’s momentary relief but underlying dis-ease. craving-mind is never happy. so, i look inward and ask: what is enough? as i simplify life, i gain freedom and joy. because this moment is enough. i am enough. you are enough. we’re all interconnected, imperfect, and beautiful.
ps: this is an ordinary, completely-enough moment in my backyard last night.
Jorcks Passage is a passageway and associated 19th century buildings in central Copenhagen. It connects the pedestrian street Strøget to Skindergade. A part of Jorcks Passage is covered with a glass and steel roof. The steel construction is made up of coned steel tubes interconnected by steel hubs creating a grid supporting the glass.

The thermopolium of Vetutius Placidus opens on via dell’Abbondanza and represents social mobility in Pompeii in Roman times, where merchants and craftsmen also held a high social status, reserved only to landowners in older times. Drinks and hot food were served in this place, as the name indicates, stored in large jars placed in the richly decorated masonry counter of the tavern.
The news stand on the back wall is of great interest; extremely well-maintained, it consists of a lararium dedicated to the protectors of the household(Lari), the Genius protector of the owner, as well as the god of trade (Mercury) and the god of wine (Dionysus). The house is at the rear, interconnected with the shop, decorated with precious frescoes and a triclinium for outdoor dining.
A hoard of nearly 3 kg (6.6 lb) of coins was found in one of the large clay jars placed in the counter, probably the last collections of the host, thereby attesting the profitable activity of the tavern.
Date of excavation: 1912; 1939.

The center of Monaghan town is the Diamond, one of four interconnected squares, and in the center of the Diamond is a Victorian memorial to the then Lord Rossmore, the chief landowner in the area. Erected in 1876, the structure houses a fountain with pillars holding up the octagonal dome. Each of the 8 corners spell out Rossmore, a letter at a time.
For such a small town, it's a very ornate structure, with a lot of detail that is, unfortunately, starting to crumble and disappear, such is the plight (until recently at least) of emmotive memories such as these.

The yellow meadow ant feeds on the honeydew from root aphids, which they breed in their nests. During winter, the aphids themselves are sometimes eaten. As a consequence of their feeding habits, the species only occasionally forages outside the nest. Evidence of their underground lives is their lack of pigmentation and the smaller size of their eyes,[3] compared to closely related species like the black garden ant. They are a timid species and will often simply barricade their tunnels to fight off invaders.
Alates (winged, unmated queens and males) can be seen on warm days and evenings of July and August. This is one of the rare times that they are seen, as workers open up their nest entrances and herd the young winged ants out of the nest. Colonies are often founded by multiple queens (pleometrosis). Later on, when the first workers emerge, fights between the founder queens will erupt, with only one queen left (monogyne). However, this species is also known to have single colonies with multiple queens and up to 250,000 workers, when they are spread out over multiple interconnected nests.[4]
Natural ice in the Netherlands is a rare occurrence. In fact, some winters there's no natural ice at all. Maybe that explains why the Dutch love to skate outdoors. They hardly ever get the chance! But when a cold wave hits, and the interconnected maze of canals, rivers and lakes freeze over, it's a spontaneous celebration, a national holiday. Businesses close their doors and everyone goes skating.
The Alblasserwaard tour starts in the town of Kinderdijk, a tourist mecca famous for its windmills. (Molentocht means windmill tour.) The Krimpenerwaard is one of the oldest polders in Holland, dotted with ancient villages, and you can skate through nine of them in a day. (Negendorpentocht means Nine Villages Tour.) You can read about the area's history in this Krimpenerwaard site.
Aside from the scenery, the joys of Dutch skating are the companionship of other skaters, and the delicious food served up along the canals. With so many skaters on the ice, you're guaranteed to find someone who skates at your speed, and gets hungry or thirsty with the same regularity.
This is another sunrise shot from that enchanted corner of our busy world, the meanders of the river Adda near Airuno. If you think that it is very similar to the previous one, The Round of the four Elements, you are right: this is the very same view, taken some minutes later with a different lens, so that it is classifiable as a "detail landscape".
In the previous wideangle shot I felt strongly the intimate interplay of the traditional four Elements - whence the title. Here, correspondingly, I was impressed by the feeling that the river and the wetland beyond were transpiring forgotten tales together with the mist. Tales told in the secret language of Nature, which we can obscurely understand since we are among Nature's children. Tales as ancient as the world. Tales from the Earth.
I was a blessed beholder of this little miracle - when I deeply felt that the whole universe is an infinitely interconnected totality, where everything is in intimate relationship with everything else - as modern physics teaches us. I am glad to have had a chance to capture at least some scraps of the magic of this moment and offer it to other people.

History is the encounter of the eternal and the temporal. As the word is a vessel for revelation and prayer, so history furnishes a receptacle for God’s actions in the world and the material for the fulfillment of humanity through time. Only rarely does the present shine a light that illuminates our understanding of the meaning of this encounter. But the past’s truth concerns us always and everywhere, and sometimes that which is elusive when close to us will reveal itself from a distance.
God’s Spirit speaks from the events of history, and our life is interconnected with this Spirit. Whenever our historical memory grows cloudy, the abandoned Spirit awakens in us, and we know again: we are servants of God’s grace.

The American Museum of Natural History (abbreviated as AMNH), located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York City, is one of the largest[clarification needed][citation needed] natural history museums in the world. Located in Theodore Roosevelt Park across the street from Central Park, the museum complex comprises 26 interconnected buildings housing 45 permanent exhibition halls, in addition to a planetarium and a library. The museum collections contain over 34 million specimens[4] of plants, animals, fossils, minerals, rocks, meteorites, human remains, and human cultural artifacts as well as specialized collections for frozen tissue and genomic and astrophysical data, of which only a small fraction can be displayed at any given time, and occupies more than 2 million square feet (190,000 m2). The museum has a full-time scientific staff of 225, sponsors over 120 special field expeditions each year,[5] and averages about five million visits annually.[6]
The one mission statement of the American Museum of Natural History is: "To discover, interpret, and disseminate—through scientific research and education—knowledge about human cultures, the natural world, and the universe."

Wild came to mind while I was viewing this scene, I can easily see why it is grizz country. This is where I'd be if I was a grizzly bear far away from people....
“Those who have packed far up into grizzly country know that the presence of even one grizzly on the land elevates the mountains, deepens the canyons, chills the winds, brightens the stars, darkens the forest, and quickens the pulse of all who enter it. They know that when a bear dies, something sacred in every living thing interconnected with that realm… also dies.” — John Murray
The Tranquille Sanatorium was built to treat tuberculosis patients and then eventually to house the mentally ill. This is only one building of the dozens that sit vacant and abandoned on the old sanatorium grounds. All the buildings are interconnected with a network of underground tunnels that facilitated the movement of people and supplies when the cold winter snows fall. This location is reputed to be one of the most haunted locations in the country.

Excerpt from ontariotrails.on.ca:
Terra Cotta Lane is a great way to introduce yourself to this conservation area and is a major access route to some of our other trails. Starting near the parking area, the trail follows an old road along the eastern shore of a pond and eventually loops back to the parking area. Although this trail is a loop, there are a number of one- way arms that allow you access to the Vaughn and McGregor Spring Pond trails. This easy trail is good for nature enthusiasts of all ages. At Terra Cotta, we have created a network of interconnected hiking trails, footpaths and old roadways that will take you to different parts of the conservation area where you can experience a mosaic of natural and cultural settings.
The Diamond was built to be the new home for the Department of Engineering at the University of Sheffield. Completed in 2015, it took two years to build, at a cost of £81 million. The six-floor building takes its name from its unique facade, which comprises a cellular pattern of interconnected diamond shapes made of anodised aluminium, inspired by the form of diamond at a molecular level, over a frame of reinforced concrete and exterior glass cladding.
As I looked at the beauty of this, I also noted the complexity and the parallels in our technical world. The 'web' is appropriately named, a network of interconnected nodes and pathways. Just like the spider web, the 'internet web' has a nasty spider at the core of it. the tech giants (Google, Facebook, & Twitter) who are sucking information from its unwary users, just like the spider sucks the juices out of its ensnared prey. Own your data; it's yours, not theirs.

El yin y el yang (en chino, 阴阳; pinyin, yīnyáng; literalmente, ‘oscuro-brillante’) son dos conceptos del taoísmo, que son usados para representar o referirse a las dos fuerzas fundamentales opuestas y complementarias, pero interconectadas, que se encuentran en todas las cosas; y que esta filosofía atribuye a todo lo existente en el universo. El yin es el principio femenino, la tierra, la oscuridad, la pasividad y la absorción. El yang es el principio masculino, el cielo, la luz, la actividad y la penetración.
Yin and yang (Chinese: 阴阳; pinyin: yīnyáng; literally: ‘dark-bright’) are two concepts from Taoism, which are used to represent or refer to the two fundamental opposing and complementary, but interconnected, forces that are found in all things; and which this philosophy attributes to everything existing in the universe. Yin is the feminine principle, the earth, darkness, passivity and absorption. Yang is the masculine principle, the sky, light, activity and penetration.

I believe Carl Sagan is correct in that everything is interconnected. When out in nature taking images I believe the part that draws us there is the connection we each get. We each get that connection in our own way. Yet we fill that touch. In beautiful night skies with incredible landmarks that feeling can be accentuated. This is the Three Gossips in Arches National Park.
“Cosmos is a Greek word for the order of the universe. It is, in a way, the opposite of Chaos. It implies the deep interconnectedness of all things. It conveys awe for the intricate and subtle way in which the universe is put together.”

Domus de janas "La Rocca"
On the edge of the old town centre of Sedini is one of the most important and unique monuments in Sardinia: the domus de janas “La Rocca”, a large limestone block completely excavated in the Late Neolithic era (3500/2700 B.C.), to create a necropolis.
Re-used up until Medieval times as a home, it was later extended and transformed into a temporary prison probably for the Spanish Inquisition in the XVI century. It later became a home, used up until a few years ago. Nowadays, the complex is a series of rooms from various eras (from Neolithic times to the Middle Ages, to the nineteenth century), carved out of solid rock, separated and interconnected with slabs and walls, for a total of 129 m2 spread across three floors.
Ai margini del centro storico di Sedini si trova uno dei più importanti e singolari monumenti della Sardegna: la domus de janas “La Rocca”, un grande masso calcareo scavato completamente nel neolitico recente (3500/2700 a.C.), per realizzarvi una necropoli.
Riutilizzata fin dal medioevo come abitazione, fu successivamente ampliata e trasformata in prigione temporanea probabilmente dell’inquisizione spagnola nel XVI secolo. Divenne poi un’abitazione utilizzata fino a pochi anni fa. Il complesso si presenta oggi come una serie di ambienti di varie epoche (dal Neolitico al Medioevo, all’Ottocento) ricavati nella roccia viva, separati e integrati fra loro con solai e muratura, per un totale di 129 mq distribuiti su tre livelli.

The Driskill, a Romanesque Revival-style building completed in 1886, is the oldest operating hotel in Austin, and is one of the best-known hotels in Texas generally. In 1934, future President Lyndon Johnson met his future wife, Claudia Taylor (Lady Bird), for their first date at the Driskill dining room. It became his campaign headquarters during his congressional career, especially during his famous 1948 Senate race, and became a favorite place on return trips to Austin during his presidency. He watched the results of the 1964 Presidential Election from its presidential suite and addressed supporters from its ballroom after his victory.
The Driskill is composed of two interconnected buildings; the original four-story building constructed in 1886, and a 13-story annex constructed in 1930. The original building, designed by local Austin architect Jasper N. Preston, was constructed with over six million pressed bricks and white limestone accents. The Driskill was conceived and built by Col. Jesse Driskill, a cattleman who spent his fortune constructing "the finest hotel south of St. Louis.
Today, the Driskill remains one of the premier hotels in Austin, featuring lavish bridal suites, two restaurants, and a grand ballroom. It is considered one of the most haunted hotels in the United States, featuring a variety of alleged supernatural activity throughout the building, including the spirit of Colonel Driskill himself. The Driskill, listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, has been owned and operated by Hyatt since 2013.

Bracket fungi, or shelf fungi, are among the many groups of fungi that compose the division Basidiomycota. Characteristically, they produce shelf- or bracket-shaped or occasionally circular fruiting bodies called conks that lie in a close planar grouping of separate or interconnected horizontal rows. Brackets can range from only a single row of a few caps, to dozens of rows of caps that can weigh several hundred pounds. They are mainly found on trees (living and dead) and coarse woody debris, and may resemble mushrooms. Some form annual fruiting bodies while others are perennial and grow larger year after year. Bracket fungi are typically tough and sturdy and produce their spores, called basidiospores, within the pores that typically make up the undersurface.

Some facts on water....
There is the same amount of water on Earth as there was when the Earth was formed. The water from your faucet could contain molecules that dinosaurs drank.
Nearly 97% of the world’s water is salty or otherwise undrinkable. Another 2% is locked in ice caps and glaciers. That leaves just 1% for all of humanity’s needs — all its agricultural, residential, manufacturing, community, and personal needs.
Water regulates the Earth’s temperature. It also regulates the temperature of the human body, carries nutrients and oxygen to cells, cushions joints, protects organs and tissues, and removes wastes.
75% of the human brain is water and 75% of a living tree is water.
A person can live about a month without food, but only about a week without water.
Water is part of a deeply interconnected system. What we pour on the ground ends up in our water, and what we spew into the sky ends up in our water.
Water expands by 9% when it freezes. Frozen water (ice) is lighter than water, which is why ice floats in water.
