A very strange building in a little town in the Thuringian Forest. Built in 1925. With stars that look very Soviet. With a harp-playing woman and a man mask. A theatre? Which style?
Internet didn´t answer my questions. Even worse: I cannot remember the name of the town. Maybe, it was Neuhaus, but I am not sure.

Several of you, on and off line, have asked me the question “how do I find the eagle nest so I can take photos". This is a valid question. And I have set and thought about how to answer all of you in the clearest kindest way that I can. In the past I have told a few people how to find the New Hope nest. I also asked these people to respect the eagles and their breeding territory. It has been acknowledged by scientists that during breeding season (here in central NC from December until mid May) that at the very least you need 300 feet between a person and the base of the tree that holds an eagle's nest. The eagles really prefer a 600 foot distance between you and their nest tree. I think of the distances needed as those of the length of a football field (which is 360 feet end-to-end). As you could see in the video I am not close to the nest at all - as a matter of fact I am rather at a distance and using a lens set at 800mm via extenders. I made the video standing more than 300 feet away from the nest tree. Regretfully, the people I have told about the nest have broken my trust and I have seen them actually get within 100 feet of the nest tree. The people were within a hundred feet and both eagle parents were very agitated and the intruding cameras kept clicking. So I no longer tell people how to find the nest.
I am sorry that each of you that has asked the question of "where" is caught in this situation because as far as I know, probably none of you have ever gotten close enough to an eagle's nest to cause the parents to be disturbed. But I must act in my capacity as a veterinarian to say that I no longer tell people where that nest is located. If I tell one of you I must tell all of you and someone will say "well I only want one really close photo…and what harm can getting close enough for that one photo cause...". I have found people in the last two weeks close enough to the eagle's nest to cause the parents to be very upset.
Again to each of you who are so caring about the eagles, I apologize. I wish that I could take all of you and let you stand where I stand, 300 feet away from the nest to watch, but I cannot. The poor judgement and actions of others has kept me from answering your question the way that each of you had hoped I would.
I ask for your understanding of my predicament. I am caught between the eagles that I want to see continue to fill the skies and those of you who have graced me with your enthusiastic viewing of my attempts to let each of you share with me Creation as I am so blessed to see it.
peace and grace

Both Question Mark and Comma butterflies belong to the bush-footed family and share many similarities, but the little white marking shown above on it's hind wing differentiates the two...this Question Mark has a two part mark, resembling a question mark, while the Comma butterfly has a wider, single curved mark, resembling a comma...Mother Nature's inventive use of punctuation! I love those toy-like white legs which look screwed on, as well...LOL
Oh, one last note on these guys...because of the shape of their wings, they are also sometimes called 'angelwings'...I think that's so appropriate!
Question marks in life can be good...and can be really bad.
Have you stumbled across a life-changing question mark, yet?
O senador Ruben Figueiró (PSDB-MS) questionou o ministro da Integração Nacional, Francisco José Coelho Teixeira, sobre as ações da pasta para promover o desassoreamento de importantes rios da região Centro-Oeste, como o Taquari e o Paraguai.
"Não vejo outra forma que não seja o estancamento do processo erosivo e a revitalização dos rios", respondeu o ministro ao afirmar que o problema do assoreamento é o preço que a sociedade paga pela exploração equivocada dos recursos ambientais. "Já estamos pagando alto na bacia do São Francisco. A recuperação envolve cifras absurdas", comentou.
O ministro participou de audiência pública nesta quarta-feira (20), sobre o Plano Nacional de Segurança Hídrica na Comissão de Serviços de Infraestrutura (CI).
Francisco Teixeira disse que a ideia é visitar, em parceria com a Agência Nacional de Águas (ANA), todas as unidades da federação para tratar da infraestrutura hídrica, respeitando as especificidades de cada região.
Nordeste
Durante a audiência, ele focou mais sua explanação sobre a atual seca do Nordeste, uma das maiores da história, que pode se prolongar para o próximo ano. Ele informou que o ministério está trabalhando um plano emergencial com a ANA. No entanto, o Plano Nacional de Segurança Hídrica, também desenvolvido em parceria com a agência, pretende ser realizado em médio e longo prazos.
"O objetivo desse plano é buscar a segurança hídrica. Hoje 85% da população brasileira é urbana. Quando o país se urbaniza, você precisa de uma infraestrutura hídrica mais complexa para atender a esses centros urbanos", afirmou.
Entre as obras envolvidas no plano, está a construção de barragens, de sistemas adutores, de canais, de eixos de integração e de sistemas de controle de cheias.

“Now regarding the question whether the faculties of the mind and the human soul are one and the same. These faculties are but the inherent properties of the soul, such as the power of imagination, of thought, of understanding; powers that are the essential requisites of the reality of man, even as the solar ray is the inherent property of the sun. The temple of man is like unto a mirror, his soul is as the sun, and his mental faculties even as the rays that emanate from that source of light. The ray may cease to fall upon the mirror, but it can in no wise be dissociated from the sun.”
—‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Tablet to August Forel, pp. 24-25
