On the streets of Nizhny Novgorod on the Day of Knowledge (1 September). 1 September — The First Day of School for Children in Russia.
Stones for knowledge, is a paraphrase of the term of stones for bread, which is from the term "Man does not live by bread alone" parameterisation Matt. 4.4 as Jesus' answer when he is tempted by the devil in the desert to create bread of stone; forward the position of power and material wealth and overconfident miracle art suggests Jesus here on the importance of the spiritual dimension of humility.
"Soul receives from soul that knowledge, therefore not by book nor from tongue.
If knowledge of mysteries come after emptiness of mind, that is illumination of heart."
(Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi - Persian Sufi Mystic Poet, 1207-1273)
This man was at Munshi ghat along the Ganges in Varanasi (Benaras).
Those who accept the mysteries of the Eternal city could feel that he was carried away with magnificent wings of the soul...

The Museum of the History of Science houses an unrivalled collection of historic scientific instruments in the world’s oldest surviving purpose-built museum building, the Old Ashmolean on Broad Street, Oxford. By virtue of the collection and the building, the Museum occupies a special position, both in the study of the history of science and in the development of western culture and collecting.
The present collection of the Museum preserves the material relics of past science. As a department of the University of Oxford, the Museum has a role both in making these relics available for study by historians who are willing to look beyond the traditional confines of books and manuscripts as well as presenting them to the visiting public.
The objects represented – of which there are approximately 20,000 – cover almost all aspects of the history of science, from antiquity to the early twentieth century. Particular strengths include the collections of astrolabes, sundials, quadrants, early mathematical instruments generally (including those used for surveying, drawing, calculating, astronomy and navigation) and optical instruments (including microscopes, telescopes and cameras), together with apparatus associated with chemistry, natural philosophy and medicine. In addition, the Museum possesses a unique reference library for the study of the history of scientific instruments that includes manuscripts, incunabula, prints, printed ephemera and early photographic material.
The Museum has a long history. The Old Ashmolean Building itself was completed in 1683 as the world’s first museum open to the general public, housing the collection of Elias Ashmole (1617-92). As well as Ashmole’s collection, the building also encompassed a broad range of activities associated with the pursuit of ‘natural knowledge’. ‘The Museum’ as originally conceived institutionalized a new way of learning about nature that emerged in the seventeenth century, with experimental philosophy being pursued in a chemical laboratory in the basement and lecturing and demonstration taking place in the School of Natural History on the middle floor. Only in 1924 with the gift to the University of the collection of Lewis Evans (1853-1930) did the Museum begin to take on its present role as a Museum of the History of Science, with Robert T. Gunther (1869-1940) as its first curator.
Explored!
It took our ancestors thousands of years to light it, it took me only a few seconds. Knowledge is the key and it needs to be applied properly.

My daughter has her degree now and took her own photo next the the old buildings of our University of Otago. I am hoping future emplyers will be impressed by the way her mind is branching out and the way she sees things from a different angle.
Sorry to my contacts for being a bit busy recently. Back tonight.

Very American!
Dundee details.
We went to visit the Westbury mansion on Mother's Day. The mansion is a very gorgeous building with beautiful rooms. as I peered into each one of the rooms, all with huge windows, I can't stop thinking about pictures and natural light! Lol. One of my faves is the library with walls full of old books!!!
Even at my son's graduation I couldn't resist a sneaky candid capture. Once a street photographer; always a street photographer!
The minute He was getting the fruit from the tree, His foot slipped and He fell down on an unusual surface. From this moment on, nothing would ever be the same again. He was about to witness a dramatic change in the way He perceived reality.

If you want to know how it all started, you can watch it here, but I wouldn't give a damn if I were you.
The concept of innate knowledge is not novel to the Nene. It seems to be much more common amongst avian species but it isn't simply something associated with our feathered friends. At Slimbridge, some nene goslings are incubated, hatched, brooded and reared by their parent geese. Like the one in this photo, is spends its waking hours scouring the surroundings, grazing and browsing on local flora. It seems to know exactly which plants to choose and which to avoid. The obvious thought would be that mom and dad have taught it just what to pick and what to leave behind.
On the other hand Slimbrige staff also incubate, hatch, brood and raise a number of nene goslings separately. It's necessary in order to maintain populations on the refuge, as many naturally reared goslings are lost to local predators. Aside from the daily practice of yoga, which this gosling seems to be engaged in, these goslings demonstrate the same selectivity when grazing and browsing as their naturally reared brothers and sisters. This would suggest some form of innate knowledge since these goslings have no contact with parent geese, until they have paired up and are released back into the wild. The opportunity for further research boggles my mind. There is just so much that we don't understand. #NeneGoslings #Slimbridge
