Scientific study: “COVID-19 lockdown effects on adolescent brain structure suggest accelerated maturation that is more pronounced in females than in males”.
www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2403200121
“Since accelerated brain maturation has been associated with increased risk for the development of neuropsychiatric and behavioral disorders, these findings highlight the importance of providing ongoing monitoring and support to individuals who were adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Like we were told during covid: follow the science!
Galatians 2:18 “Why, if I am now rebuilding that structure of sin which I had demolished, I am thereby constituting myself a transgressor.”
King Roger's Hall - the formal chamber where Norman king Roger II would meet visiting dignitaries in the Palazzo dei Normanni, dating back to the 12th century.
The Ruggero Room contains exquisite mosaic decoration above a high marble plinth, dating from the regency of Guglielmo (William) I! (circa 1170). It covers the walls, lunettes, the undersides of the arches and the vault. Leopards, lions, harts, peacocks, centaurs and bowmen confront one another symmetrically amongst fruit trees and palms in the large lunettes. Spiral branches with leaves and flowers entwine the decorative elements of the vault, interrupted only by geometric bands (at the crossing points) and the medallions with lions and griffins. The Swabian eagle, within an octagon at the centre of the vault, dominates the composition, while the double-headed eagle appears on the keystones of the minor arches. The entire decorative structure is laid out on a single tessera background with gold leaf.
Thought to be the work of mosaicists trained in Byzantium, the iconographic themes of the mosaic cycle show clear eastern influence, more Persian and Seljuq than Arabic, as a result of the osmosis between the Islamic and Byzantine worlds.

This hugh three story stone structure is located at the south west corner of the main intersection in the village of Merrickville. The imposing structure is out of proportion to the size of the community, but is all the more amazing to fine, considering the size of the one located on the south east corner of the same intersection.
Samuel Jakes. An Irish immigrant who came to the Merrickville area in the 1830's, Jakes rose to prominence as a business entrepreneur and an esteemed member of the community. His grand home with its stylish gables, cornice mouldings, dressed cornerstones and welcoming wraparound verandah was a residence befitting a man of his status.
Sam Jakes was a schoolteacher, a postmaster and Merrickville’s second reeve, but is best known for his success as a merchant. By the time his house was completed, www.flickr.com/photos/whitebeard/2315284434/in/set-721576... he was operating a three-story department store at the intersection of Main and St. Lawrence streets. The “Jakes Block,” according to local lore was once the largest department store, complete with elevator, between Chicago and Montréal.
East Kent’s famous Guyitt House is no more, following its recent demolition.
Dubbed by some as the most photographed house in Canada, the house was ordered to be torn down by the municipality of Chatham-Kent due to safety concerns.
The house, more than 150 years old, was owned by Pete Anderson.
His grandparents Roy and Ethel Guyitt purchased the once grand old dame located near Muirkirk, in 1908.
This modern structure comes with an optional garden/pathway, and concrete pieces to add on.

The structure was covered with white and pink marble from the Candoglia quarry in Val D’Ossola. The Cathedral’s roof is covered in openwork pinnacles and spires crowned with sculptures that overlook the city.
Фасад здания, его шпили и внутренние помещения, украшены невообразимым числом статуй – 3400. В это число входят изображения исторических личностей, святых, мучеников, пророков и прочих библейских персонажей. Не обошлось и без верных символов средневековья – горгулий и химер. Они, как верные атрибуты готики, угнездились на стенах здания, отгоняя нечисть. Среди наружной отделки здания попадаются весьма любопытные экземпляры, например, изображение Муссолини или же древний прототип статуи Свободы, что ныне стоит в США.

KEEL BEACH | IRELAND
After hiking up a nearby hill, we saw the sun setting behind the far hills, so we headed down to the beach to get some good shots.
Those structures were the reward and even as I have quite a lot pictures of them... I now believe, I didn't took enough.
This odd little structure is located in the Landmark Sinkhole. Larger sinkholes like this one have been known to swallow up structures like houses, barns, and buildings.
Location: River Regen with trees.

The Holly Tree public house.
Unfortunately I cannot find any details regarding the year it was built but I think it looks quite likely 1860's-80's, it has been much bullied and destructively renovated over the last 30yrs.

Lahore Fort started life as a defensive wall on the banks of River Ravi by the earliest settlers who founded Lahore. It was attacked, damaged, demolished, and rebuilt into various structures several times over, until it acquired its present general form under Emperor Akbar in 1566. Succeeding emperors, Sikh conquerors, and British colonists used the fort as the seat of their governance, and added their architectural influences to the citadel to give it its present configuration.
The Throne Balcony was added to the Diwan-e-Aam by Emperor Shah Jehan from where he could display the pomp and grandeur of the Mughal Empire.
