Monument classified as World Heritage by UNESCO
Built in the XIV/XV century to commemorate the victory of the 6.000 men of the Portuguese army, against the 32.000 Spanish soldiers in one of their many invasion attempts, the Monastery of Batalha is the most glorious example of the Gothic architecture in Portugal.
The story tells that in the 1383-1385 crisis, when the Spanish army with their king was marching to Lisbon to claim the throne they encountered a small Portuguese army. Laughing of such small force they've decided to pass around because they didn't want to be delayed in their conquest. The Portuguese seeing that the only chance to keep the independence was to fight and win, started to insult the Spanish calling them cowards. It had its result as the Spanish decided to turn back to teach the Portuguese a lesson...
Right from the start the battle was a catastrophe to the Spanish. When their cavalry charged, the knights started to fall into the many traps built in the battle camp. Those who escaped reached the Portuguese army in a disordered formation and tried to pull back. But while some were trying to get back, large numbers of Spanish knights not understanding what was happening continued to charge and push all in their front against the Portuguese spears! More, the Portuguese army chose a very narrow space to fight and the long spears of the Spanish knights were not maneuverable, so they started to break them in half to make them shorter. The problem was that when the broken piece was thrown to the ground the horses tripped in them and fell...
Soon it became a catastrophe to the Spanish and their king was forced run to Spain barely escaping the Portuguese persecuting force. This victory kept Portugal safe for the next 200 years...

Jaroslav Romanchuck, distinguished Belarus politician and renowned economist presents “The Morality of Capitalism and Ayn Rand”
Jaroslav Romanchuk, a presidential candidate in Belarus in 2010, will present a unique conference entitled “The Morality of Capitalism and Ayn Rand” on February 11, 2013 at the Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies (ICCAS) of the University of Miami, 1531 Brescia Avenue in the Coral Gables campus, with cocktails at 6:30 p.m., followed by the presentation at 7:00 p.m.
This timely conference is designed to provide the community in South Florida with the opportunity to hear, first hand, the views of a leading libertarian economist and political figure in the former Soviet republic and engage in a dynamic conversation about the importance of individual rights, free-enterprise, small government and strong personal freedoms.
“I’m honored to have been invited to present this critical topic, which drives my political and economic thinking, to the audience in Miami”, says Romanchuck, President of the Scientific Research Mises Center in Minsk. “It’s a great opportunity to share my views on the true meaning of capitalism, the new clothes of socialism and the framework of a moral social economic system, especially with the Cuban-American community who, like Belarusians, understand full well the evils of socialism.”
Following the presentation there will be a question and answer session with a distinguished panel of political thinkers, including Dr. Jose Azel, senior scholar at the ICCAS and author of Mañana in Cuba: The Legacy of Castroism and Transitional Challenge for Cuba, Glenn Cripe, co-founder and Executive Director of The Language of Liberty Institute and Olga Nodarse Chao, Founder of The Cuba Corps and author of Freedom Embattled. Dr. Andy S. Gomez, senior fellow at ICCAS, University of Miami will be the moderator.
This event is co-sponsored by The Cuba Corps, ICCAS, and the National Association of Cuban-American Educators (NACAE). Founded in 2005, The Cuba Corp’s mission is to help rebuild civil society in Cuba. ICCAS serves as a world class academic center for the research and study of Cuban and Cuban-American Studies. NACAE represents the interests of Cuban-American educators at all levels and promotes their accomplishments. It also contributes to the preservation of the Cuban cultural heritage and the promotion of the principles of liberty and civil rights.

Save The Children
I just want to ask a question
Who really cares?
To save a world in despair
Who really cares?
There'll come a time, when the world won't be singing
Flowers won't grow, bells won't be ringing
Who really cares?
Who's willing to try to save a world
That's destined to die
When I look at the world it fills me with sorrow
Little children today are really gonna suffer tomorrow
Oh, what a shame, such a bad way to live
All who is to blame, we can't stop living
Live, live for life
But let live everybody
Live life for the children
You see, let's save the children
For the children
Let's save all the children
If you wanna love, you got to save the babies
All of the children
But who really cares
Who's willing to try
To save a world
Save our sweet world
Save a world that is destined to die...

A stoopid question on a forum: "Does anyone know whether it is illegal to obscure your rear number plate with bikes hanging from a rack? I expect it is - but I do it and see lots of other drivers/cyclists doing it so I wonder if a blind eye is turned to the practice."
Best answer: "Police regularly used to pull people up for this at the car parks at Rutland Water - you should have a trailer light board to diaply number plate - properly capable of illumination and easily seen rear lights. Dont forget if you obscure your stop lights it is your bikes which get squashed first when someone runs in to the back of you. The problem is of couse unless you have a tow bar you are unlikeley to have the necessary socket for the extra lights."

Hearing of Michel Barnier, designate Commissioner for Internal Market and Services (Brussels, 13 January 2009).
Before the new European Commission can take office the proposed new Commissioners must pass often tough Question and Answer sessions in front of Members of the European Parliament. Each committee questions the person who will be responsible for that dossier on issues ranging from their CV to political views. The last time this happened not all candidates passed muster as MEPs must sign off on them before they can take office.

There should be a giant question mark on my face at all times because I just don't know.
I feel like I'm in this weird transitional part of my life.
My mind is just racing with what ifs lately. Should I do this? What if I do that? Do I want to do that? How about this? Or why not? It's draining, very draining. I get ahead of myself, and start thinking about a year from now, trying to plan, and I can't.
I'm like this floating blob of a human.
Plus I feel like I'm a 22 year old (okay, in a week & a half) living a 17 year old's life. What I do now is pretty much no different than what I did when I was 17. Well, except pay bills & work constantly. I still live with my parents, I'm still in school. I'm not sure where I think I should be, just somewhere else. My best friend's going to be graduating from grad school around this time next year.
The only big NEXT STEP there is, besides getting my degree, is moving out.
Up early again today, for the removals men to bring in the rest of our stuff. (Well, one of them was ready early, the other one lingered in the van a bit longer, nursing a hangover.) I made them tea and toast, and Tim and I answered lots of questions about what should go where.
We took delivery of our new dishwasher this morning, and I walked down to Lidl later on, to buy us all some sandwiches. Lovely walking down there in the breezy sunshine. Bit more challenging walking back up hill afterwards, but I had a nice chat on the phone with my Mum on the way.
Gary and Paul left soon after that, and we were about to settle in to do as little as possible when there was a ring at the doorbell. It was Sandi from next door, inviting us round for tea and cake in the afternoon. We did have a bit of a rest (though Tim found it hard to settle, and felt better doing bits and pieces - and we took delivery of our new washing machine and fridge freezer, too), then we popped over next door at 4pm. Very lovely neighbours - so chatty and welcoming, and their pets were all super friendly, too. We stayed around an hour and a half, then came back home to order a fish and chips delivery for dinner (had to be done!)
Spent quite a bit of time standing out on the balcony with a little tipple in the evening, appreciating everything we've got, and how lucky we are <3

A very long, and unproductive day.
I guess I have a few questions for anyone willing to answer. Do any of you ever have days where you can't think of anything at all to create? Most of my days are that way, and I end up needing to look at other people's work for inspiration instead of dreaming things up on my own( I do not mean copy other's work, by the way). How much of your work is "inspired" vs "dreamed up"? Is your mind a plethora of ideas, or a wasteland with the occasional sprout attempting to take root in barren soil?
Sometimes I worry I'm left brained instead of right (not that there's anything wrong with that), due to my lack of ability to create "good enough" original ideas. It makes me question if I should even be pursuing photography.
Gosh, every bit of this is horribly articulated. Maybe some of it maketh sense?
I bought a cool drawing programme for my iPod Touch. I did this sketch on my iPod. Not Davinci, but impressive tool, I must admit.
After our first night of mid-30 degree temperatures, I thought I might have already seen my last butterfly of the season last week in the mountains. Much to my surprise, this question mark found a warm perch near me as I was watching for birds in the backyard this afternoon.

A graduate student conference entitled "Space-time: Toward an Anthropology of Contemporaneity" brought together presenters from the University of Chicago and several other American and Chinese institutions (August 24-25, 2012).
Farmingdale, 1945
Without question, the P-47 was one of America's greatest fighters of World War Two. The aircraft was designed around the huge new R-2800 engine equipped with a turbo-supercharger to greatly increase high-altitude performance. Armed with eight .50 caliber machine guns, the P-47 carried more firepower than any other World War Two fighter and it was the largest and heaviest American single-seat fighter to see combat. The leading American aces in Europe flew P-47's exclusively. In addition to establishing an impressive record as a high-altitude escort fighter, the P-47 gained recognition as a low-level fighter-bomber because of its ability to carry a heavy load of bombs and rockets and to absorb battle damage and keep flying. The P-47 was widely and successfully used in both the European and Pacific theatres.

So i have a question for LCA users. I just developed my second roll of film and it all sucked. Can anyone guess my problem? Its focusing. I cant get things focused right to save my life. So my question is, Is that a normal thing to experience on your first few rolls? How long does it take to get used to and how did you over come problems with focusing? Should i start carrying a yard stick around? i dont want to suck with the LCA forever
Question and answer at the plenary on `Connections`. Dynamics of Being a Change Maker (DBCM). CAUX-Initiatives of Change international conferences 2012
Two questions came to mind after comparing the before and after pictures of the California drought. The first was: Who is responsible? The second question was: How can we respond to this problem no matter who is at fault?
California is no stranger to droughts, but the state has been over-accommodating their own needs for water to keep our main state export businesses alive. The main culprits of drainage of the two man-made lakes is the farming industry, specifically the cattle and nut crops which are taking enormous water reserves to stay alive. Alfalfa (a superfood for cattle) is the biggest water drain, and nuts come second. As with many environmental problems, we tend to shoot, then point, then think, since economic pressure force us into immediate solutions. The water we have stored up (the reservoirs, aquifers) are being depleted at a rapid clip as if they will magically renew. Food prices are bound to soar and/or food sources will have to come from other states sinking California further into debt. The sociological gains could be increased education and awareness of the problem, which is necessary to galvanize people into actively participating in the solution. Hopefully more Americans will begin producing some of their own food and becoming more self-reliant.
These pics make me want to research what causes drought trends, what groups of people are on the forefront of innovation and adaptation to such problems, and how we can support them and participate.
