What is Demisexuality?
♥
Demisexuality is a sexual orientation in which someone feels sexual attraction only to people with whom they have an emotional bond. Most demisexuals feel sexual attraction rarely compared to the general population, and some have little to no interest in sexual activity. Some demisexuals find themselves attracted to close friends or romantic partners. Other components may include familiarity with the person and knowledge about them (ex: learning about aspects of their personality).
♥
What does it all add up to?
♥
Most people feel sexual attraction regardless of whether or not they have a close emotional bond with someone. They may have sexual feelings for attractive people on the street, classmates or coworkers they’ve barely spoken to, or celebrities. However, they may choose to wait to have sex for a variety of reasons: it might not be feasible or appropriate, they want to make sure the person is respectful
and kind, etc.
The difference is that demisexuals don’t start out with these sexual feelings at all.
♥
Quote from: Demisexuality Resource Center resources for demisexuals, partners, and allies
If some of you have similar feelings too, you can read the detailed article about Demisexuality here demisexuality.org/articles/what-is-demisexuality/#:~:text....
♥
Except this, I'm a traditional, heterosexual female and always have been like that. In general, my personal life is boring))
Today I am almost 38 years old ;)) That's a lot already. Over the years the emotional connection has become more important to me, than the physical one. Moreover, if I have no interest in a someone's personality. Then I have no interest in any contact with him.
♥
The TRUTH is - I have always believed that creating an emotional connection in the first, it is a normal and healthy way of building relationships. When I was a young, the term "Demisexuality" did not exist yet :))
♥
But I support everyone!!! no matter what sexual orientation or gender they choose for themselves. I believe that all people have the right to be themselves and should live freely and be proud of their lives!!!
♥
It is very important to be open to people. Because we are all HUMANS above all!!!

. In the scenic setting on the banks of the Tons River in Dehradun is a popular Shiva shrine inside a small, dripping cave known as Drona Cave. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva.
The Tapkeshwar Mahadev temple is an age-old temple and has a rustic charm to it. The river adds to the beauty of the temple. This pretty cave temple located in the cantonment area of Garhi in the heart of the city is a very sacred and revered temple, which attracts thousands of tourists and devotees.
It is believed that this temple dates back to the era of Mahabharata. Common faith follows that the guru Drona of Pandavas and Kauravas, meditated in this cave to gain the knowledge and expertise in military arts such as archery with the blessings of Lord Shiva. It was here that Guru Dronacharya and his wife, Kripi, were blessed with a son, Ashwathama, and milk started dripping from this cave owing to the powers of Lord Shiva for Ashwathama who needed this milk.
um.... so yea i dont really know about this one. Knowledge=the lightbulb.
Wow i felt really samry. I spelled "knowledge" wrong the first time...
BUT HOLY CRAP! Im too excited to my saftey. Buzzfest is in less than 4 hours! as of now. (May 10th, 11:14 a.m) My brother was an idiot and pointedly told me to "not die".

are printed books days numbered?
I've been running out of places to store my books but since I bought a kobo hd glo I don't think I'll ever have that problem.
this kobo can store more than 3000 books at any one time, that's more space than I will ever need and I don't have to worry about eye strain that you get from other device. e ink is the way forward for me.
sb700 and a shoot through umbrella were used to light the subject.
Here is the other side of her sign. She might be a teacher; I didn't bother to ask. Instead I rushed around to get more signs, when I should have taken a bit more time to get the backgrounds of some of these people who show up. Oh, well, maybe at the next march/expo.

THE HUMBLE FROG, 2015
Mild steel & stainless steel
“The frog is the traditional carrier of sound, whose powerful voice sings the stories and songs of his people. Given his position of importance, it would be tempting for the frog to lose sight of his humility; however, in the frog is a sensitive and fragile creature. Humility serves as a reminder to stay humble and thoughtful of our place in this world.
Carey Newman is a contemporary Indigenous artist of Kwagiulth/Salish and British descent. With the influence and support of his family, Newman developed his artistic ability and cultural knowledge from an early age. His work, from jewellery to major installations, with diverse media such as wood, stone, gold, silver, gems, glass, steel and paint, has garnered attention in Canada and abroad.”
It's Seven Days of Thanksgiving again at Paprihaven! All glory, praise, and gratitude to God for His many blessings! This year, we walk through Psalm 19.
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether.
It was a great time skateboarding. Some of her best friends from the community were there, and Tracy finally aced that transition she'd been trying for ages. She didn't get it right again after that, but now that she has one success under her belt, she knows there will be more.
As Tracy walks the familiar route home she always notes with sadness the many avenues to ruin available on this street. And the people ever present to follow those terrible paths. Tracy knows she would be doing the same things if not for God opening her heart to His truth, and His law, so she gives thanks to God. Behavior that is destructive to oneself and others has repurcussions in this life, but those are nothing compared to the judgments of God on the lost in eternity.
The fear of the Lord is clean, cleansing, and establishes a soul for eternity. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.* To live against Him would be foolish to the extreme. 'How joyful is the man the Lord does not charge with sin, and in whose spirit is no deceit!' ** God's judgments are true and righteous, and all sin must be paid for. What a blessing that the Lord, Christ Jesus, would pay for those sins in our place!

A year of the shows and performers of the Bijou Planks Theater.
1 The heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
2 Day to day pours forth speech,
And night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.
4 Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their utterances to the end of the world.
In them He has placed a tent for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber;
It rejoices as a strong man to run his course.
6 Its rising is from one end of the heavens,
And its circuit to the other end of them;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether.
10 They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them Your servant is warned;
In keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults.
13 Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins;
Let them not rule over me;
Then I will be blameless,
And I shall be acquitted of great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
~ Psalm 19
* Proverbs 9:10
* Psalm 32:2

Tomar today is a modern city with a population of about 40.000.
After the conquest of the area from the Moors by Portugal´s first king Afonso Henriques in 1147, the land was granted in 1159 as a fief to the Order of the Knights Templar, who erected the castle/monastery "Convento de Cristo" here, that later became the headquarters of the Order in Portugal.
Gualdim Pais, Grand Master of the Order, granted priviliges to the evolving town already in 1162. After the Order of the Knights Templar was suppressed in 1314 King Dinis was able to transfer the possessions and personnel of the Order in Portugal to a newly created Order of Christ. In the 15th century Henry the Navigator was made the Governor of the Order. He was the central figure in the early days of the European maritime discoveries and maritime expansion, later known as the "Age of Discovery", and he may have used resources and knowledge of the Order to succeed in his enterprises in Africa and in the Atlantic.
In 1492 the Jews were expelled from Spain. Many refugees settled in Tomar, what helped the town to develop. Jews lived here undisturbed for several decades until the Portuguese Inquisition got installed. Many could escape by migrating, but about 1000 were tortured and executed.
Tomar was occupied by the French during the Napoleonic invasions and was liberated by Portuguese and English troops commanded by the Duke of Wellington.
When Henry the Navigator was the Governor of the Order, much money was invested into the rebuilding of the "Convento de Cristo" in flamboyant Gothic / Manueline renaissance style.

6 GTO - Irvine Laidlaw, MC
Ferrari 250 GTO # 3527GT
1962 gab es kurz zwei verschiedene 250 GTO mit # 3527GT. Dies führt häufig zu Verwechslungen.
Zu dem abgebildeten 250 GTO "6 GTO" von Lord Irvine Laidlaw wird z.B. in diversen f Gruppen und auch im Programmheft der Ennstal-Classic 2014, Seite 49 fälschlich berichtet:
falsch: ["Erstbesitzer von Laidlaws Ferrari GTO mit Chassis # 3527 war der Wiener Juwelier Gotfried Köchert..."]
richtig:
Der Köchert-Wagen -- # 3527(1) -- 22. Mai 1962 an Gotfrid Koechert, Wien, A "MO 76800" wurde bereits im Juli 1962 wieder nach Maranello zurück verkauft und bei FERRARI auf serial number 3809GT umbenannt. Er ging am 10. Juli 1962 als 3809GT an Kalman von Czazy, Zuerich, Freie Straße 159, CH - "MO 78595".
Bei Laidlaws GTO -- # 3527(2) -- handelt es sich um einen anderen 250 GTO (ehemals 3809), der erst 2 Monate später, am 10. September 1962 ausgeliefert wurde und mit dem von Köchert nichts zu tun hat.
...der in der Tour de France Siebter wurde, nachdem er in Führung liegend mit einem Lastwagen kollidierte.
Bianchi/Mairesse wurden dann Fünfte im 1000 Kilometer-Rennen von Montlhéry, und Bianchi gewann den Grand Prix von Angola. Danach wurde # 3527GT (2) an die Scuderia Filipinetti verkauft. Der Schweizer Banker Armand Boller kaufte den GTO 1963 und startete damit bei Bergrennen. 1965 wurde der Wagen bei Graber in der Schweiz mit einem Leder-Interieur versehen. Von 1966 bis 1972 war der GTO im Besitz von Sir Anthony Bamford, der an den VW-Händler Don Nelson verkaufte, der nächste Besitzer im Jahre 1984 hieß Stephen Pilkington, der das Auto 20 Jahre besaß, bevor es im Jahre 2005 an Irvine Laidlaw verkauft wurde.
Bei den besten Firmen des Restaurations-Business, die es in England gibt, wurde Laidlaws GTO in 2450 Arbeitsstunden auf das höchste Niveau restauriert.
Mit dem GTO gewann Ferrari die GT-WM in den Jahren 1962/63/64.
Heute gilt ein GTO, von dem nur 39 Exemplare gebaut wurden, als teuerstes Auto der Welt. So verkaufte etwa der Auto-Sammler Paul Pappalardo seinen GTO (# 5111) in einer Privat-Transaktion für 52 Millionen Dollar an einen geheim gehaltenen Besitzer.

Aachen, Cologne and Bonn, Germany
Running along the Rhine river, the cites of Bonn and Cologne are located on the right of this night-time image taken from the International Space Station. Cologne to the North is home to the European Astronaut Centre located at one of the German Aerospace Centre’s main sites. The bright lights on the right illuminate the runway of the Köln-Bonn airport in between the two cities.
At the top-left of the image is Aachen bordering The Netherlands and Belgium. In between Aachen and Cologne is the city Düren that seems to use differently coloured street lighting to its neighbours.
This image was taken by an astronaut on the International Space Station with Nightpod in 2012. The Nightpod camera-stand tracks the movement of Earth passing under the Station at 28 800 km/h, keeping any target fixed in the middle of the viewfinder. Standard cameras fixed to Nightpod can use longer
exposure times so that astronauts can take sharper pictures of cities at night.

VERTICAL LINE GARDEN 2019

From the plaque:
Drawing on the formal language of historical garden design, and the contemporary means of mass-produced safety and construction material, the project is a strong graphic intervention that aims to produce an abstract field.
Defining a geometric zone out of tightly spaced parallel lines of stretched commercial barrier tape , the installation introduces ordered man-made elements into the cultivated natural environment of the Reford Gardens. Through this juxtaposition, a dialogue between the two spheres is created based on the shared theme of protection and necessary safe-guarding while questioning the definition of what is truly natural.
As one approaches and then walks around and through the installation the changing viewpoint will allow the shifting of the tape lines in space and thus varied views of the overall composition. Further the movement of the lines with the changing of the climate, the wind and the sun will ensure a dynamic optical and auditory engagement for the audience. As visitors enter and inhabit the space by occupying the provided loungers, the fluctuating appearance of the installation is further enhanced.
In the 2015 version of the garden, we have decided to alter the colours of the field and provide and to provide canpy elements which will not only provide shade but also give a different experiential perspective of the banner tape.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Texte de la plaque:
S'appuyant sur le langage formel de la conception du jardin historique, sur des moyens modernes de sécutité et sur des matériaux de construction produits en massa, le projet se veut une intervention graphique cherchant à créer un champs abstrait.
Des lignes parallèles de rubans de sécurité étroitement espacés définissent une zone géométrique. Cette installation d’éléments ordonnés prend place dans un milieu d’aspect naturel. Par cette juxtaposition, un dialogue entre les deux se crée basé sur le thème commun de la protection et de la sauvegarde , tout en s’interrogeant sur la définition de ce qui est vraiment naturel.
En s’approchant, en marchant autour et au travers le jardin, le point de vue change, ce qui permet le déplacement des lignes dans l’espace pour offrir de nouvelles perspectives sur la composition globale. Outre le mouvement des lignes, les changements de climat, le vent et le soleil procurent aux visiteurs des expériences visuelles et auditives dynamiques. Lorsque les visiteurs entrent et habitent l’espace en s’assoyant sur les chaises, l’aspect fluctuant de l’installation est renforcé.
Dans la version 2015 du jardin, les couleurs des rubans sont différentes et trois canopées ont été ajoutés. Ce qui va non seulement fournir de l’ombre mais aussi offrir une perspective expérientielle différente sur les rubans de sécurité.

From Wikipedia:
Elsie Stephen Meighen - born January 22, 1872, Perth, Ontario - and Robert Wilson Reford - born in 1867, Montreal - got married on June 12, 1894.
Elsie Reford was a pioneer of Canadian horticulture, creating one of the largest private gardens in Canada on her estate, Estevan Lodge in eastern Québec. Located in Grand-Métis on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, her gardens have been open to the public since 1962 and operate under the name Les Jardins de Métis and Reford Gardens.
Born January 22, 1872 at Perth, Ontario, Elsie Reford was the eldest of three children born to Robert Meighen and Elsie Stephen. Coming from modest backgrounds themselves, Elsie’s parents ensured that their children received a good education. After being educated in Montreal, she was sent to finishing school in Dresden and Paris, returning to Montreal fluent in both German and French, and ready to take her place in society.
She married Robert Wilson Reford on June 12, 1894. She gave birth to two sons, Bruce in 1895 and Eric in 1900. Robert and Elsie Reford were, by many accounts, an ideal couple. In 1902, they built a house on Drummond Street in Montreal. They both loved the outdoors and they spend several weeks a year in a log cabin they built at Lac Caribou, south of Rimouski. In the autumn they hunted for caribou, deer, and ducks. They returned in winter to ski and snowshoe. Elsie Reford also liked to ride. She had learned as a girl and spent many hours riding on the slopes of Mount Royal. And of course, there was salmon-fishing – a sport at which she excelled.
In her day, she was known for her civic, social, and political activism. She was engaged in philanthropic activities, particularly for the Montreal Maternity Hospital and she was also the moving force behind the creation of the Women’s Canadian Club of Montreal, the first women club in Canada. She believed it important that the women become involved in debates over the great issues of the day, « something beyond the local gossip of the hour ». Her acquaintance with Lord Grey, the Governor-General of Canada from 1904 to 1911, led to her involvement in organizing, in 1908, Québec City’s tercentennial celebrations. The event was one of many to which she devoted herself in building bridges with French-Canadian community.
During the First World War, she joined her two sons in England and did volunteer work at the War Office, translating documents from German into English. After the war, she was active in the Victorian Order of Nurses, the Montreal Council of Social Agencies, and the National Association of Conservative Women.
In 1925 at the age of 53 years, Elsie Reford was operated for appendicitis and during her convalescence, her doctor counselled against fishing, fearing that she did not have the strength to return to the river.”Why not take up gardening?” he said, thinking this a more suitable pastime for a convalescent woman of a certain age. That is why she began laying out the gardens and supervising their construction. The gardens would take ten years to build, and would extend over more than twenty acres.
Elsie Reford had to overcome many difficulties in bringing her garden to life. First among them were the allergies that sometimes left her bedridden for days on end. The second obstacle was the property itself. Estevan was first and foremost a fishing lodge. The site was chosen because of its proximity to a salmon river and its dramatic views – not for the quality of the soil.
To counter-act nature’s deficiencies, she created soil for each of the plants she had selected, bringing peat and sand from nearby farms. This exchange was fortuitous to the local farmers, suffering through the Great Depression. Then, as now, the gardens provided much-needed work to an area with high unemployment. Elsie Reford’s genius as a gardener was born of the knowledge she developed of the needs of plants. Over the course of her long life, she became an expert plantsman. By the end of her life, Elsie Reford was able to counsel other gardeners, writing in the journals of the Royal Horticultural Society and the North American Lily Society. Elsie Reford was not a landscape architect and had no training of any kind as a garden designer. While she collected and appreciated art, she claimed no talents as an artist.
Elsie Stephen Reford died at her Drummond Street home on November 8, 1967 in her ninety-sixth year.
In 1995, the Reford Gardens ("Jardins de Métis") in Grand-Métis were designated a National Historic Site of Canada, as being an excellent Canadian example of the English-inspired garden.(Wikipedia)

LES JARDINS DE MÉTIS
Créés par Elsie Reford de 1926 à 1958, ces jardins témoignent de façon remarquable de l’art paysager à l’anglaise. Disposés dans un cadre naturel, un ensemble de jardins exhibent fleurs vivaces, arbres et arbustes. Le jardin des pommetiers, les rocailles et l’Allée royale évoquent l’œuvre de cette dame passionnée d’horticulture. Agrémenté d’un ruisseau et de sentiers sinueux, ce site jouit d’un microclimat favorable à la croissance d’espèces uniques au Canada. Les pavots bleus et les lis, privilégiés par Mme Reford, y fleurissent toujours et contribuent , avec d’autres plantes exotiques et indigènes, à l’harmonie de ces lieux.
Created by Elsie Reford between 1926 and 1958, these gardens are an inspired example of the English art of the garden. Woven into a natural setting, a series of gardens display perennials, trees and shrubs. A crab-apple orchard, a rock garden, and the Long Walk are also the legacy of this dedicated horticulturist. A microclimate favours the growth of species found nowhere else in Canada, while the stream and winding paths add to the charm. Elsie Reford’s beloved blue poppies and lilies still bloom and contribute, with other exotic and indigenous plants, to the harmony of the site.

Dr. Henry Pym, an American biochemist with extensive knowledge in other scientific fields, married Maria Trovaya, a brave and beautiful young woman who had been a political dissident in her native Hungary, from which she had fled. Naively believing that his American citizenship would protect her, Henry and Maria Pym traveled to Hungary shortly after their marriage. The Pyms were confronted by agents of the secret police there. Henry Pym was knocked unconscious and Maria was murdered. Pym was greatly distraught by his wife's death, and decided to do whatever he could in the future to battle injustice and inhumanity.
Back in the United States, Pym discovered a rare group of subatomic particles, which have become known as the "Pym Particles." Pym was able, through the application of magnetic fields, to entrap the particles within two separate serums. One serum would reduce the size of persons and objects, and the other would restore them to their normal size. Pym tested the reducing serum on himself and discovered it was more powerful than he had expected: it reduced him to the size of an insect. Pym became entrapped in an anthill and was pursued by the ants within. He escaped and restored himself to his normal size with his other serum. Deciding that the serums were too dangerous to exist, Pym destroyed both of them.
Hank Pym in his first appearance as Ant-Man
However, weeks later he reconsidered his decision and began to recreate the serums, whose existence he then kept secret. Inspired by his experience in the anthill, Pym undertook a study of ants, and theorized that ants communicate through psionic / electrical waves transmitted through their antennae. After months of work, Pym succeeded in creating his first "cybernetic helmet," which would enable him to communicate with ants through transmitting and receiving psionic / electrical waves. Thinking that someday he might want to use the shrinking potion on himself again, Pym also designed a protective costume for himself, Unstable Molecules and steel mesh.
