I have had an ID from Joseph Schubert Research Assistant (RA) at Monash University
Female of an undescribed species closely related to 'Saitis' mutans. The placement of Australian species in this genus is doubtful as the type species (Saitis barbipes) is of Mediterranean origin and has a significantly different palp structure to our Australian species. Until the genus is revised, this 'Saitis' species from WA will unfortunately remain undescribed.

"At this the woman said to the serpent: “We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden. But God has said about the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden: ‘You must not eat from it, no, you must not touch it; otherwise you will die.’” At this the serpent said to the woman: “You certainly will not die. For God knows that in the very day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and bad." - Genesis 3:2-5

This famous fable has very ancient origins. Jean de La Fontaine was inspired by Aesop, Greek fabulist , 620 – 564 BCE.
Phaedrus has also adapted it, Roman fabulist , first century AD.
Jean de La Fontaine / The Crow and The Fox
Master Crow sat on a tree,
Holding a cheese in his beak.
Master Fox was attracted by the odour...
Aesop / The Fox & the Crow
One bright morning as the Fox was following his sharp nose through the wood in search of a bite to eat, he saw a Crow on the limb of a tree overhead. This was by no means the first Crow the Fox had ever seen. What caught his attention this time and made him stop for a second look, was that the lucky Crow held a bit of cheese in her beak...
Phaedrus / The Fox and the Crow
His folly in repentance ends,
Who, to a flatt'ring knave attends.
A Crow, her hanger to appease,
Had from a window stolen some cheese,
And sitting on a lofty pine
In state, was just about to dine.
This, when a Fox observed below...

Cette fable très connue a des origines qui le sont un peu moins. Jean de La Fontaine s’est inspiré d’ Ésope (VIIe-VIe siècles av. J.-C.) tout comme Phèdre (Macédoine vers 54 après J.-C) et surement bien d’autres.
Ésope, VIIe-VIe siècles av. J.-C.
Un corbeau déroba un morceau de viande et alla se percher sur un arbre. Un renard, l'ayant aperçu, voulut se rendre maître du morceau. Posté au pied de l'arbre, il se mit à louer la beauté et la grâce du corbeau : À qui mieux qu'à toi convient-il d'être roi ? En vérité tu le serais, si tu avais de la voix. Le corbeau, voulant lui montrer qu'il n'en était pas dépourvu, laissa tomber la viande et poussa de grands cris. L'autre se précipita, s'empara de la viande et dit : "Ô corbeau, si tu avais aussi de l'intelligence, il ne te manquerait rien pour être le roi de tous les animaux."
Avis au sot.
Phèdre (Macédoine - 10 av. J.-C. / 54 apr. J.-C)
Ceux qui aiment les artificieux en sont punis plus tard par un amer repentir.
Un Corbeau avait pris un fromage sur une fenêtre, et allait le manger sur le haut d'un arbre, lorsqu'un Renard l'aperçut et lui tint ce discours : « De quel éclat, ô Corbeau, brille votre plumage ! que de grâces dans votre air et votre personne ! Si vous chantiez, vous seriez le premier des oiseaux. » Notre sot voulut montrer sa voix ; mais il laissa tomber le fromage, et le rusé Renard s'en saisit aussitôt avec avidité. Le Corbeau honteux gémit alors de sa sottise.
Cette fable prouve la puissance de l'esprit d'adresse l'emporte toujours sur la force.
Le Corbeau et le Renard est la deuxième fable du livre I de Jean de La Fontaine édité pour la première fois en 1668.
Maître Corbeau, sur un arbre perché,
Tenait en son bec un fromage.
Maître Renard, par l’odeur alléché,
Lui tint à peu près ce langage :
« Hé ! bonjour Monsieur du Corbeau.
Que vous êtes joli ! que vous me semblez beau !
Sans mentir, si votre ramage
Se rapporte à votre plumage,
Vous êtes le Phénix des hôtes de ces bois. »
À ces mots le Corbeau ne se sent pas de joie ;
Et pour montrer sa belle voix,
Il ouvre un large bec, laisse tomber sa proie.
Le Renard s’en saisit, et dit : « Mon bon Monsieur,
Apprenez que tout flatteur
Vit aux dépens de celui qui l’écoute.
Cette leçon vaut bien un fromage, sans doute. »
Le Corbeau, honteux et confus,
Jura, mais un peu tard, qu’on ne l’y prendrait plus.
Un grand merci pour tous vos gentils commentaires, vos fav, ainsi que vos invitations à vos groupes. Je les apprécie tous beaucoup vraiment !!!

Rinteln ist eine Stadt und selbständige Gemeinde im Weserbergland an der Weser im Landkreis Schaumburg in Niedersachsen. Ihre Altstadt ist auch heute noch von zahlreichen Fachwerkhäusern geprägt. Im Mittelalter umschloss eine Stadtmauer die Stadt, deren Ausbau in der Neuzeit die Stadt zur Festung Rinteln machte. Von 1619 bis 1810 war Rinteln zudem Universitätsstadt.
Rinteln is a small town in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is located on the banks of the Weser river above the Porta Westfalica. The town of Rinteln is in the broad valley between the hills of the Weserbergland and the North Lippe Bergland. In relation to some well known places, it is 60 kilometers west of Hanover, and just 20 kilometers from Hamelin of Pied Piper fame. Its population is about 28,500.
The settlement of Rinteln was founded about 1150 on the northern bank of the Weser. Later, in 1235, the village of Neu-Rinteln ("New Rinteln") was founded on the southern bank. It is the origin of the modern town, since the northern village was abandoned in 1350 due to the plague. The village grew to a fortified town, that served as a southern stronghold of the Counts of Schaumburg.

Photo by Chuck Rogers who like most everyone his age once mastered the hula hoop.
"A hula hoop is a toy hoop that is twirled around the waist, limbs, or neck. Although the exact origins of hula hoops are unknown, children and adults around the world have played with hoops, twirling, rolling and throwing them throughout history."
"In 1957 the hula (also frequently spelled "hoola") hoop was reinvented by Richard Knerr and Arthur "Spud" Melin(who died in 2002), founders of the Wham-O toy company. (The two had founded the company in a Los Angeles garage in 1948 to market the "Wham-O" slingshot, which was originally invented to shoot pieces of meat into the air, as a training device for falcons). The idea came from an Australian who had visited California who told Knerr and Melin about children twirling bamboo hoops around the waist in gym class. The new Hula Hoops were made possible by Marlex, a recently invented durable plastic."
"Knerr and Melin were unable to patent their vastly profitable "re-invention", as it had been in use for thousands of years; making the device out of a new material did not meet patent requirements of originality. They were largely able, however, to protect their invention by trademarking "Hula hoop"."
"After the hoop was released in 1958, Wham-O sold 25 million in the first four months and over 100 million in its first year. As the fad ran its course, Wham-O again struck lucky with the release of their Frisbee."
"To relaunch the Hula Hoop in the late 1960s, Wham-O staged a national competition in the US in conjunction with the National Parks & Recreation Network. The National Hula Hoop Contest (subsequently re-named the World Hula Hoop Championships) grew in scope from 500 U. S. cities in 1968 to over 2,000 cities in 1980, with two million participants. Competitors were judged on their performance of compulsory maneuvers (Knee Knocker, Stork, Hula Hop, Wrap the Mummy, Alley Oop) as well as freestyle routines set to music, establishing the roots of the contemporary freestyle Hula Hoop movement."

Cette pharmacie est située au Kyrkogatan 5, juste sur le coin, à deux pas de la Domkyrkan à Lund, en Suède.
Cette vénérable pharmacie aurait été fondée en 1647. Le bâtiment est toutefois un peu plus récent puisqu'il fut construit en 1862. L'intérieur date du tournant du 20e siècle et dégage une ambiance délicieusement surannée avec ses rayonnages en bois et ces pots anciens de céramique. Sur la façade, remarquez le cygne (svanen) doré en guise d'enseigne.
Blottie autour de son impressionnante cathédrale, Lund l'érudite, est un mélange de parcs verdoyants, de demeures médiévales et de cafés estudiantins. Très animée durant l'année scolaire, de par sa forte population d'étudiants universitaires, la ville le reste aussi l'été grâce aux visiteurs attirés par le charme de ses rues pavées et son grand choix de musées.
Fondée par les Danois aux environs de l'an 1000, Lund est la 2e ville la plus ancienne de Suède après Sigtuna. Elle acquit de l'importance lorsque Knut II de Danemark y fit frapper de la monnaie au début du 11e siècle. Chrétienne dès son origine, la ville devint un important centre religieux et le siège de l'archidiocèse scandinave en 1104, un statut qu'elle conserva jusqu'à la Réforme au 16e siècle qui entraîna la fermeture des églises, monastères et de l’université. Il fallut attendre le rattachement de la région à la Suède en 1658 pour qu'une université y soit à nouveau installée.

Skye, or the Isle of Skye (/skaɪ/; Scottish Gaelic: An t-Eilean Sgitheanach or Eilean a' Cheò), is the largest and northernmost of the major islands in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. The island's peninsulas radiate from a mountainous centre dominated by the Cuillin, the rocky slopes of which provide some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the country. Although it has been suggested that the Gaelic Sgitheanach describes a winged shape there is no definitive agreement as to the name's origins.
The island has been occupied since the Mesolithic period, and its history includes a time of Norse rule and a long period of domination by Clan MacLeod and Clan Donald. The 18th century Jacobite risings led to the breaking up of the clan system and subsequent Clearances that replaced entire communities with sheep farms, some of which also involved forced emigrations to distant lands. Resident numbers declined from over 20,000 in the early 19th century to just under 9,000 by the closing decade of the 20th century. Skye's population increased by 4 per cent between 1991 and 2001. About a third of the residents were Gaelic speakers in 2001, and although their numbers are in decline, this aspect of island culture remains important.
The main industries are tourism, agriculture, fishing and forestry. Skye is part of the Highland Council local government area. The island's largest settlement is Portree, which is also its capital, known for its picturesque harbour. There are links to various nearby islands by ferry and, since 1995, to the mainland by a road bridge. The climate is mild, wet and windy. The abundant wildlife includes the golden eagle, red deer and Atlantic salmon. The local flora are dominated by heather moor, and there are nationally important invertebrate populations on the surrounding sea bed. Skye has provided the locations for various novels and feature films and is celebrated in poetry and song.

Asteroid Bennu's boulder-covered surface gives it protection against small meteoroid impacts, according to observations of craters by NASA's OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer) spacecraft.
Bennu is a “rubble-pile” asteroid, meaning that it formed from the debris of a much larger asteroid that was destroyed by an ancient impact. Fragments from the collision coalesced under their own weak gravity to form Bennu.
This image shows asteroid Bennu’s boulder-covered surface. It was taken by the PolyCam camera on NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft on April 11, 2019 from a distance of 2.8 miles (4.5 km). The field of view is 211 ft (64.4 m), and the large boulder in the upper right corner of the image is 50 ft (15.4 m) tall. When the image was taken, the spacecraft was over the southern hemisphere, pointing PolyCam far north and to the west.

SN: Cycas Revoluta, Cycadaceae Family
This Palm has its origin in the Ryukyu Islands in Southern Japan. Although called Palm it doesn't belong to the Palmaceae family. Nowadays is disseminated all over. Produces a center of future leaves looking like a cabbage. It is quite attractive.
The Sago Palm is one of the most widely grown houseplants in the world because of its attractive, easy-care habit. It's a cycad, not an actual palm. The thick, shiny-green fronds have a slightly cascading appearance and they arise from a stout, brown, textured truck. When it’s container-grown, it performs well in any bright, sun-filled indoor space. This slow-growing evergreen plant is moderately cold hardy (to zone 8) and it’s native to southern Japan. Easy to care for, it prefers a well-drained potting mix or sandy soil when planted outside in southern zones. Sago Palm makes it easy to add a touch of greenery to your indoor living space.

The legend behind the origin of this step-well is as interesting as its architecture and is shrouded in beauty, romance and tragedy. In AD 1499, the area around Adlaj was known as Dandai Desh and was ruled by Rana Veer Singh of the Vaghela dynasty. Around this time, Mohammed Begda, a Muslim ruler of a neighboring state attacked Dandai Desh and killed Rana Veer Singh. The beauty of the slain king's widow, Rani Roopba, enamored Mohammed Begda who sent her a proposal of marriage. The heartbroken but determined queen agreed to the proposal on the condition that he complete a five-storied step-well (vav) for her. The Muslim ruler, enticed by the charm of the queen, readily agreed.
The construction of this well had begun years ago under Rana Veer Singh but had to be stopped later. Begda resumed this project with great enthusiasm and got the well completed in record time. When this five-storied edifice was completed but for the dome, Begda renewed his proposal. The next day, Roopba took a round of the well and saying a final prayer, flung herself into the water and drowned.
Mohammed Begda immediately stopped further construction but did not get the monument demolished probably because Roopba had employed Muslim masons who had decorated it with Islamic motifs. The incidents, which led to the erection of this unique well, are detailed on the walls and pillars of the vav in Sanskrit and Pali (an ancient language).

This huge trompe-l'œil depicts the historical origins of the neighbourhood. The first clearing in Sherbrooke took place in this area.
In all, there are 17 historical characters illustrating this gigantic historical fresco. Among then is Mr Albert Leblanc (at the bottom right), born in 1899 and deceased in 1975. Selected after a call for applications launched by M.U.R.I.R.S., this committed legal expert involved in his community is one of the creators of the University of Sherbrooke project, of which he was the founding dean of the faculty of law. Next to him also stand ten other personalities.
It is considered that the origin meaning of Ouroboros symbol lies in the rotation of the planet Earth around its own axis and as a result, the rotation of the Sun and stars in sky. You may have encountered many times thу symbol depicting a serpent eating its own tail.The ouroboros often symbolizes self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return. It can also represent the idea of primordial unity related to something existing in or persisting from the beginning with such force or qualities it cannot be extinguished. Also its counterpart is the swastika - both of these ancient symbols represent the movement of the cosmos.
