Trzebiatów (German: Treptow an der Rega,) is a town in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland.It has 10200 inhabitants. The lower Rega area around Greifenberg and Treptow was settled by immigrants of German language in the 1250s, and settling reached a peak in the 1280s, but here a native Slavic population participated. At this time Treptow was part of the Duchy of Pomerania, which was a component state within the Holy Roman Empire since 1180. In 1504, Johannes Bugenhagen moved to Treptow and became Rector of the local school. Though he had not studied theology, he was ordained as a priest in Treptow's St. Mary's Collegiate Church in 1509, and served as a vicar at the Kanonikerkolleg of that church thereafter. On December 13, 1534, a Landtag was assembled in town, where the Dukes Barnim XI of Pomerania-Stettin and Philip I of Pomerania-Wolgast as well as the nobility officially introduced Lutheranism to Pomerania, against the vote of Erasmus von Manteuffel, Prince-Bishop of Cammin. In the following month Bugenhagen drafted the new church order (Kirchenordnung), founding the Pomeranian Lutheran church, today's Pomeranian Evangelical Church. As a dowager, Sophia of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg (1579–1658), widow of Philip II, Duke of Pomerania, lived in Treptow. Sophia's dower was a former nunnery, which she converted into a palace. While in Swedish service and thereafter Duke Francis Henry of Saxe-Lauenburg spent a lot of time with Duchess dowager Sophia in Treptow. Sophia's and Francis Henry's fathers were cousins. On 13 December 1637 Francis Henry and Marie Juliane of Nassau-Siegen (1612–1665) married in Treptow. Their first child was born in Treptow in 1640. Francis Henry also served Sophia as administrator of the estates pertaining to her dower. When in 1637 with Philip II's death the Pomeranian ducal house was extinct, the duchy was under Swedish occupation with the Brandenburgian electors claiming succession in Pomerania. Not until 1648 the electors prevailed in succeeding as dukes of Pomerania, however, only in the central and eastern part of ducal Pomerania (1653–1815), including Treptow.
In 1750 Treptow Palace was refurbished in classicist style for General Frederick Eugene of Württemberg, who resided there – with interruptions – until 1763. With the end of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, Brandenburg-Pomerania, already since 1618 ruled in personal union with Ducal Prussia (Kingdom since 1701), also legally merged into Prussia and the different German confederacies and empires, of which it formed part since. In 1945 central and eastern Pomerania, including Treptow, became part of Poland.

Lacan famously said that the unconscious is structured like a language. I have not the foggiest what he meant but he may have meant the way in which, as demonstrated by Asch and Rosenberg, Westerners understand the world, and make evaluations based upon how language understands the world.
The above shows a two dimensional model of personality from Rosenberg 1968, showing that some character traits are considered close to each other in four groupings (1 skilful, industrious, important, practical, trustworthy, honest, serious, decisive, scrupulous, 2 Fun, popular, sociable, warm, good natured, humorous, 3. frivolous, insignificant, untrustworthy, dishonest, not fun, 4. Irritable, Humourless, unpopular, cold, unsociable). These are groupings of the meanings of words, but Westerners tend to make evaluations based upon such groupings. Hence, as demonstrated by Asch (1946), if someone is described as being A.intelligent skilful industrious warm determined practical cautious, as opposed to B. intelligent skilful industrious cold determined practical cautious with only the central warm changed to cold - then they are far more likely to be judged to be good natured with the ratio of people judging them to be so dropping from 94% to 17%.
Doing this in Japan however, we find that people are far less likely to change their opinion based on the change of only one adjective. Peng and Nisbett (1999) analysed for instance evaluations of contradictory Yiddhish proverbs (which are common in both China and Japan) and found that Chinese are far more likely to positively evaluate contradictory proverbs. Peng and Nisbett, call this tendency of Asians not to require that evaluations conform to the dictionary dialectical thinking. In my own view it is rather more just that Chinese and Japanese are far less likely to be thinking in language (as demonstrated by Kim) and are probably imagining the situation. If you do imagine the situation then the platitudes that Westerners are fond of such as "cold people are not good natured" "Warm people are good natured" do not always play out. If you imagine people you know, you will find there are people who are cold in the presentation of their emotions, but who are also good natured in their acts.

Urmia or (Turkish Language: اورمو, Urmu, Orumiyeh, Urmiye) is a city in Northwestern South Azerbaijan (Iranian Azerbaijan) and the capital of West Azerbaijan Province. The city lies on an altitude of 1,330 m above sea level on the Shahar Chaye river (City River). Urmia is the 10th populated city in iran and 2nd of Azerbaijanian Turks provinces after Tabriz. Urmia is the trade center for a fertile agricultural region where fruit (Specially Apple and Grape) and Tobacco are grown.An important town by the 9th cent. Urmia was seized by the Oghuz Turks (11th cent.), sacked by the Seljuk Turks (1184), and later occupied a number of times by the Ottoman Turks.
The name Urmia or Urmu is thought to have come from Sumerian tongue, the earliest known civilization in the world located in southern Mesopotamia. Ur was a principle Sumerian city. Some believe the name is derived from Syriac. Ur, meaning "cradle," and mia, meaning "water". Hence, Urmia, situated by a lake and surrounded by rivers, would be the cradle of water. Some have claimed connections to other languages. There is, however, no generally accepted etymology.The very heavy migrations into the city from the countryside, refugees from the long Iran-Iraq War, and from smaller towns into the larger city of Urmia, have revolutionized the ethnic composition of the city. Today The 90% percent are now made of Azerbaijanian Turks and but with Kurdish, Assyrian and Armenian minorities.

A Montessori Poem .... Today I did my math and language, practical life too, I used my eyes, my ears and hands, my senses the whole day through. I added and subtracted, learned patience all the day I used tweezers, blocks, and puzzles, And worked with the scrubbing tray. I learned how to mix colors, And learned how to weigh. So mom and dad, please don’t say, “DID YOU BRING ANY PAPERS HOME TODAY?” You see, I’m sharing as I play, Learning self-control throughout the day, I’m learning to listen and speak clearly when I talk, To wait my turn and when inside to walk, To put my words into phrases, To balance along the “Red Rod” maze, To find my name and write it down, I do it with a smile, not a frown. So mom and dad, please don’t say, “WHY DON’T YOU HAVE ANY PAPERS TODAY?” I learned about a snail, I learned about a worm, I learned about flags and maps, And how to take a turn, I helped a friend when he was stuck, I learned that water runs off a duck. I looked at words from left to right, Agreed to differ, not to fight. Today I sang the continent song, I learned the difference between right and wrong, So mom and dad, please don’t say, “DID YOU ONLY PLAY TODAY?” Because yes, I played the whole day through, I worked to learn the things I do, Encounter a problem, find the clue and work it out for myself, I do. My teachers set the scene and stand near-by, They want me to succeed and teach me how to try. They pose the questions, and help me to think, They keep me afloat and would never let me sink. So don’t get discouraged and frustrate me, I try my best and I’m learning each day. So mom and dad, please don’t say, “HAVEN’T YOU DONE ANY WORK TODAY?” -Author Unknown-

Indeed it is a long journey but this Khandobot Shepard has to do what a Shepard Herder must do and that is to make the 852 mile journey by gravametric boot and nanotransistor hoof between the Kandahar Robotics Facility to reach their final destination to his first stop at the Peshawar Area 807 Pakistani Secret UFO Research Facility to deliver 500 factory fresh Khandobot Units ready for deep space export to many alien planets. Then he is off to his next stop in the Sindh Province to deliver the last 500 Units to a local bazaar for robot dealers. Khandobots these days are very popular and there is always speculation as to were to get the best deal on a new Khandobot whether it be in Pakistan or Afghanistan. Some say that Kabul Galactic has the market pretty well cornered for their starfleet since a little over half of the robotics plants are located in Afghanistan. This can also causes prices to sometimes be a bit higher than in Pakistan where dealers Squirrel them away when they get a big shipment in by a Khandobot Shepard like Haidar Farook. Ofcorse his heard of Khandobots is huge, a thousand units in all and he must deliver them before the first snows come and judging by the looks of these units these are the much anticipated 4000 series.
