"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

Le origini del centro abitato non sono sufficientemente documentate, ma è probabile che un castello dovesse già sorgere qui nel periodo alto-medievale, e che fu successivamente acquistato nel XIII secolo dal nobile milanese Borro Borri, che qui vi si trasferì e che fu podestà di Arezzo dal 1254 al 1256. Borro Borri è difatti il capostipite della famiglia toscana dei Borri, che signoreggiò in queste terre e indicata nei secoli successivi come "del Borro" o "dal Borro" proprio da questa località.

Today's edition of Armchair Traveling takes me back to our visit to the Galapagos Islands 8 years ago today. This is one of "Darwin's Finches", which he studied and formed the basis of his theory "origin of the species".
L’origine della morra risale all’antica Roma. Si chiamava micatio o digitis micare (il verbo mico in latino significa guizzare, balenare, in riferimento al veloce movimento delle dita). Era così diffuso che, per definire un uomo onesto, si usava dire: “una persona con cui si potrebbe giocare a morra al buio”. I due giocatori abbassano contemporaneamente il pugno destro, distendendo rapidamente una o più dita e gridando un numero tra 2 e 10. Se il numero indicato corrisponde alla somma delle dita distese si segna un punto a favore di chi ha indovinato. Se la somma è indovinata da entrambi, il colpo è nullo. È considerata un gioco d’azzardo, perché, a ogni lancio, possono essere puntate delle somme di denaro. In quanto tale è proibita dalla legge, per la precisione dagli articoli dal 718 al 722 del Codice penale. (da un articolo di Focus)

The location for the first synagogue in South Australia was selected by the Adelaide Hebrew Congregation, off of Rundle Street, on the street that would later be named Synagogue Place. The land fronting Rundle Street was bought from George Morphett for £280 in 1848, with the synagogue completed two years later in August 1850. The building was small, 35 by 25 feet, and had a capacity for 150 worshipers. It was made of stone and of an ‘Egyptian’ style, which was popular among Jewish populations in Australia during the nineteenth century. This style, reminiscent of ancient temples and sygnifying the ancient origins of Judaism, made the synagogue stand out from the surrounding buildings. The interior of the synagogue featured a partially screened women’s gallery, polished cedar pews and bronze chandeliers, and was described by The South Australian Register in 1850 as ‘handsome, appropriate, and strongly demonstrative of the liberal spirit which characterises the Jewish community in this province.’ The combined costs of buying and building the synagogue were reportedly £950. This was raised by the Adelaide Hebrew Congregation through loans and donations from both the Jewish and wider Christian communities.
The synagogue, however, became inadequate within ten years of its establishment, as the Jewish community in Adelaide outgrew its capacity. Extensions were added in 1859 and 1860, with additional meeting chambers constructed adjacent to the synagogue and an extension added to the women’s gallery. However, these were not sufficient enough to meet the needs of the community, with thoughts of building a new synagogue already being entertained. In May 1870 it was decided to build on the existing site next to the original synagogue. The new synagogue was designed by South Australian architects Edmund Wright, Edward Woods and Edward Hamilton in an ‘Italian’ style, which drew influences from the architecture of the Italian renaissance. This stone building had a capacity for 370 people, dwarfing the adjacent 1850 synagogue that was converted into a classroom. This substantial building cost £1,065 and consolidated the position of the Jewish community in South Australia. The entrance to this building originally faced Rundle Street and featured a lawn and fountain leading up to it. However, the construction of the Rundle Buildings on the corner of Rundle Street and Synagogue Place during the building boom of the 1890s forced the entrance of the synagogue to move to its current location in Synagogue Place.
Further changes were made to the building in 1938, with both the synagogue and Rundle Buildings receiving a new Art Deco cement facade designed by architect Chris A. Smith. This remodeling scheme also extended the building to the footpath and included the addition of an entrance porch containing a memorial tablet to Jewish soldiers who died during the First World War. The synagogue building has been altered little since these renovations.
Synagogue Place remained the centre of the Jewish community in South Australia until they relocated in 1990 to a new synagogue in Glenside. The original synagogue building has since become a nightclub.

Irlanda - Blarney - Jardines del castillo
ENGLISH:
Blarney Castle is a medieval stronghold in Blarney, near Cork, Ireland, and the River Martin. Though earlier fortifications were built on the same spot, the current keep was built by the MacCarthy of Muskerry dynasty, a cadet branch of the Kings of Desmond, and dates from 1446. The Blarney Stone is among the machicolations of the castle.
The castle originally dates from before 1200, when a timber house was believed to have been built on the site, although no evidence remains of this. Around 1210 this was replaced by a stone fortification. It was destroyed in 1446, but subsequently rebuilt by Cormac Laidir MacCarthy, Lord of Muscry, who also built castles at Kilcrea and Carrignamuck.
The castle was besieged during the Irish Confederate Wars and was seized in 1646 by Parliamentarian forces under Lord Broghill. However, after the Restoration the castle was restored to Donough MacCarty, who was made 1st Earl of Clancarty.
During the Williamite War in Ireland in the 1690s, the then 4th Earl of Clancarty (also named Donough MacCarty) was captured and his lands (including Blarney Castle) were confiscated by the Williamites.
The castle was sold and changed hands a number of times — Sir Richard Pyne, the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, owned it briefly — before being purchased in the early 1700s by Sir James St John Jefferyes, then governor of Cork City.
Members of the Jefferyes family would later build a mansion near the keep. This house was destroyed by fire, and in 1874 a replacement baronial mansion, known as Blarney House, was built overlooking the nearby lake.
In the mid 19th century the Jefferyes and Colthurst families were joined by marriage, and the Colthurst family still occupy the demesne. In May 2008, the present estate owner, Sir Charles St John Colthurst, Baronet, succeeded in a court action to eject a man who had lived on his land for 44 years. The man's great-grandfather had been the first to occupy the estate cottage.
The castle is now a partial ruin with some accessible rooms and battlements. At the top of the castle lies the Stone of Eloquence, better known as the Blarney Stone. Tourists visiting Blarney Castle may hang upside-down over a sheer drop to kiss the stone, which is said to give the gift of eloquence. There are many versions of the origin of the stone, including a claim that it was the Lia Fáil — a numinous stone upon which Irish kings were crowned.
Surrounding the castle are extensive gardens. There are paths touring the grounds with signs pointing out the various attractions such as several natural rock formations with fanciful names such as Druid's Circle, Witch's Cave and the Wishing Steps. The grounds include a poison garden with a number of poisonous plants, including wolfsbane, mandrake, ricin and opium, as well as cannabis. Blarney House, also open to the public and within the estate grounds, is a Scottish baronial-style mansion that was built in 1874.

ESPAÑOL:
El castillo de Blarney es una fortaleza medieval situada en la localidad de Blarney, cerca de Cork, en Irlanda. En la ribera del río Martin.
El castillo fue fundado a principios del siglo XIII, destruido en 1446, y posteriormente reconstruido por Dermot McCarthy, rey de Munster. Está parcialmente destruido quedando la torre del homenaje y algunas habitaciones. En la parte superior de se encuentra la piedra de la elocuencia o piedra de Blarney. Los visitantes deben besar la piedra por la parte de abajo estando suspendido en el vacío y obtendrán el don de la elocuencia.
Rodeando el castillo se encuentran los jardines que contienen diferentes puntos interesantes como Druid's Circle, Witch's Cave y las Wishing Steps. En los alrededores se encuentra la Blarney House, una mansión reformada en 1874 en estilo señorial escocés residencia de la familia Colthurst desde el siglo XV.
Datant du Vle siècle et reconstruite au Xle, la chapelle Saint Ostian s'appelait à l'origine Saint-Martin. La tour qui la domine; nommée tour Saint-Martin, permet la surveillance de la vallée de l'Escoutay.
C'est à proximité de ce site, dans la vallée de Couspier, que. vecut l'ermite Ostian, dont on retrouve le sarcophage derrière l'autel de la petite chapelle. Les habitants de Viviers, les vivarois, allaient autrefois et processionnaient jusqu'à cette chapelle pour obtenir la pluie.
En 1711, il est noté dans les délibérations du conseil municipal la "demande de procession et de grand-messe à l'église St-Martin pour faire cesser la sécheresse"
Cette chapelle rurale est de style roman. Sa construction a emprunté de nombreuses pierres de réemploi d'une précédente chapelle datant de l'époque Carolingienne.
The numbers of these have increased again this year, its origin probably a domestic escapee I should imagine.
[ENG] The Collegiate Church of Santa María la Mayor de Alquézar, has its origin in the Arab castle built in the ninth century on top of a rocky ridge surrounded by ravines located in Alquézar (Huesca, Spain), which after its conquest in 1067 by Sancho Ramírez becomes a Christian fortress, and in 1099, when military needs were overcome by the progress of the Reconquest, a community of Augustinian canons was installed, building a Romanesque collegiate church, which in the 16th century was replaced by Another gothic that endures today. They emphasise: in the cloister the Romanesque capitals of the thirteenth century and the mural paintings of the fourteenth to eighteenth centuries, in the church the rib vault, the Renaissance main altarpiece (XVI century), a Romanesque Christ and the baroque organ. Other pictures in Alquézar Castle-Collegiate Church album.
[ESP] Junto al coro destaca un órgano barroco del siglo XVI que se conserva en perfecto estado, y que está considerado como uno de los más valiosos de Aragón.
La iglesia actual se construyó en el siglo XVI por Juan de Segura ampliando la anterior románica longitudinalmente por la cabecera y por los pies. Es una sola nave cubierta con bóveda estrellada, y posteriormente se fueron añadiendo capillas en el siglo XVII, la de San Nicostrato excavada en la roca para dar cobijo al cráneo del mártir romano, la de la Virgen del Rosario, la de San Juan Bautista decorada en estilo barroco, y la del Santo Cristo sufragada por la familia Lecina. El coro se sitúa a los pies del templo y cuenta con un extraordinario órgano.
La Colegiata de Santa María la Mayor de Alquézar, tiene su origen en el castillo árabe construido en el siglo IX en lo alto de una cresta rocosa rodeado de barrancos situada en Alquézar (Huesca, España), que tras su conquista en 1067 por Sancho Ramírez pasa a ser fortaleza cristiana, y en 1099, superadas las necesidades militares por el avance de la Reconquista, se instaló una comunidad de canónigos agustinos, construyéndose una iglesia colegiata románica, que en el siglo XVI se sustituyó por otra tardogótica que perdura en la actualidad.

Pick your sauce! National Spaghetti Day on January 4 recognizes that long, thin cylindrical pasta of Italian and Sicilian origin. Usually made from semolina flour, this pasta has been a worldwide favorite for ages and loved by millions.
There are a variety of different pasta dishes that are based on spaghetti from spaghetti ala Carbonara or garlic and oil to spaghetti with tomato sauce, meat sauce, bolognese, Alfredo sauce, clam sauce or other sauces. Spaghetti dishes are traditionally served topped with grated hard cheeses such as Pecorino Romano, Parmesan and Grana Padano.
The word spaghetti is plural for the Italian word spaghetto, which is a diminutive of spago, meaning “thin string” or “twine.”
American restaurants offered Spaghetti around the end of the 19th century as Spaghetti Italienne (which is believed to have consisted of noodles cooked past al dente and a mild tomato sauce flavored with easily found spices and vegetables such as cloves, bay leaves and garlic). Decades later, oregano and basil were added to many recipes.
There is significant debate on the origin of spaghetti. However, we do know that pasta has been consumed for many, many years.
Sung to the tune of “On Top of Old Smoky,” the fun children’s song, “On Top of Spaghetti” was written and originally sung by folk singer Tom Glazer with the Do-Re-Mi Children’s Chorus in 1963.
“On top of spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball,
When somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table,
And on to the floor,
And then my poor meatball,
Rolled out of the door.”
The origins of the abbey of Rivalta Scrivia date back to 16 January 1180, when Folco, abbot of the Cistercian abbey of Lucedio in the Vercelli area, promised Oberto, bishop of Tortona, to make the church of Rivalta an abbey of his order and to respect the rights of the church of Tortona.

There is a large herd of about 50 or more deer on the Lagoon Creek reserve.
Deer – Chital
Scientific name - Cervus axis
Other common names - Chital deer, Axis deer, Indian spotted deer.
Origin - India, Nepal and Sri Lanka
Distinctive characteristics - White throat patch and white spots. Dark dorsal stripe and band over muzzle. Noticeably long tail compared with other deer species.
Identification - Feral chital deer are a small-medium sized species. Their coat colour is variable, but is often dark to rusty red with uniformly marked white spots in lines along the body. They have a distinctive white throat patch and a dark muzzle. The coat colour of the inner legs and underside of the belly is white-beige. This species is often found in medium to large groups. Mature males have antlers that are smooth and slender with usually three tines on each, though the number of tines is influenced by animal condition. Antlers may be 70-89 cm in length. Males are larger in size and weight (90 cm and 85 kg) than females (80cm and 60 kg). Chital have a distinctive high-pitch alarm call when disturbed. Scats are small cylindrical pellets sometimes with an indentation at one end.
History and Biology - Chital deer were initially introduced to Australia from Sri Lanka and India in 1802 but did not survive. They were later successfully released into Queensland in the 1860's. Chital deer are herbivores that browse on a variety of grasses, fruit and leaves. They are gregarious and can form groups of more than 100 individuals. They do not have a defined breeding season, and are capable of producing three offspring in two years. Chital deer will eat their shed antlers if their diet is lacking the vitamins and minerals. Females will separate from the herd during birthing and rearing of young.
Distribution - Feral chital deer occur in many areas throughout Queensland, small areas in NSW, Victoria and the south-east of South Australia. They are absent from other regions.
Habitat - They can be found in a variety of habitats, including open grasslands, open and closed woodlands, thick forests and heavily timbered farmland.
Damage - Feral chital deer are a growing pest threat. They can cause significant browsing damage to native vegetation, damage sensitive habitats and compete with livestock for pasture. They can damage forestry plantations and ornamental gardens. They are not often found in close proximity to humans but they do present a serious motorway hazard. Feral chital deer may carry and spread livestock diseases that can cause production losses and increased management costs.

There are times when it is better to stop, breathe and remember where we came from.
Hay veces en las que es mejor parar, respirar y recordad de donde vinimos.
Un piccolo ponte sul torrente Loranco di origine glaciale, nell'Alpe Campolamano, 1750 m, Valle Antrona.
Non e di una particolare difficoltà, ma è piuttosto stretto, non ha protezioni metalliche laterali, oscilla parecchio ed è un po' inclinato.
Un percorso di forse 20 m, a circa 15, 20 m di altezza.
Eravamo in 9 : in 5 l'abbiamo percorso. . Tre si sono rifiutate, una ha fatto due passi ed è tornata indietro.
A me è piaciuto, è stato un nuovo gioco. Ho pensato che mi sarebbe piaciuto se ci fosse stato uno strapiombo di qualche centinaio di metri, tra le montagne. Intanto cadere di qua o di là penso sia la stessa cosa : sotto ci sono dei massi, insieme ad acque piuttosto vorticose.
Però non è stato prudente : c'era un cartello, in rosso, in cui si richiedeva l'uso di corde e moschettoni ( percorso EEA ), per prevenire eventuali cadute.
Mi sono un po' stupita perché c'erano degli accompagnatori : in effetti è da incoscienti percorrerlo senza dispositivi di sicurezza.

It is impossible to describe God adequately, but here's some of what such a description might contain.
Thanks for looking? Isn't God a great artist/creator/architect?
