So you know about transgender women, but what's exactly with this gender thingy? Gender identity is a vast, complex (and interesting!) topic that our 3 minutes videos can't cover entirely (it requires hours!) but we can try to explain a short summary of what's gender identity, applied to transgender women, in the most simple words possible.
Now Rosie thinks that when you go to a corporate building in Bellevue the dog waterer comes out to give the traveling doggie a drink and a bath on a hot sunny day.... :-)

Flickr.member - Maggie's world- commented with humor and genial understanding on picture 1 and 2 of this series. When I placed the pictures 1 and 2 on Flickr in black/white some time ago. An appreciated comment! Good idea for a third picture! Feeling sorry can indeed come to a happy end!Why did I not think of this! So I added this extra picture 3 (also part of this old collection of drawings) and used her comment for the title of nr.3.
Last of a series of 3 pictures.
1980, pen, ink, color added in Corel.
Strip I AM SORRY, A series of three drawings.
Originally I placed a set of two drawings here in black and white. Then I got a nice comment of Flickr. member Maggie's World.
It inspired me to add a third drawing to the series.
And to make the meaning of the drawings stronger I added digital color.
So now there is a strip of three colored drawings.
There are several uses possible.
People can send each other these drawings as a postcard....
Several times. Every round is finished when they send each other the rose colored card. YOU ARE FORGIVEN! And on the backside of these cards people can write: I am sorry for...I am SO sorry for.. I forgive for..
There are similar figures, called barbapapa. I discovered them recently. There is even a whole series with books with similar figures - made by other people. I saw recently. But this figure I simply invented myself years ago - c. 1980 - because it is so easy and fast to draw. It was a new idea for me. But of course it is not so special. Remarkable..And in 2014 - long years after I made these drawings and placed them on Flickr - I discovered Halloween cookies on Flickr...they also look like these figures I drew..but I never thought of Halloween ghosts. In my country we do not celebrate Halloween. Only the last years there are some parties. Not where i live. See link here: flic.kr/p/8EVntt This is really funny! The ghosts of Halloween.
notice: this was before the carnival ships got together in the Bahamas.
those yellow vehicles right below the sunshine are former school buses used to transfer the drivers of the cars when they are loading up a RO-RO. I believe they are former South Carolina public schools 1980's mini Bluebird Internationals, that being said only going to put the photo in a neutral bus group.
So, its been awhile since the last upload. ive been self quarantining in my house for the past five weeks now. i took a six week leave of absence from work. dont worry, i am not sick. i am doing this because my work is on the front line but my family has either medical conditions that can be fatal if they catch the virus, or i have family members who are in the age group that are automatically at risk. so yeah, family before work. luckily, work was understanding about this situation and gave me six weeks off instead of the normal two weeks off for those who wanted to self quarantine but were not sick. anyways, The Carnival Sunshine was laid-up in charleston as soon has cruise ships were not allowed to sail with passengers. it first came into port as normal because of a cancelled cruise. it dropped off its passengers at the cruise terminal then spent about a week being docked at the cruise terminal. after that it moved to the columbus street port terminal, as seen here in this photo. the columbus street port terminal is used for Ro-Ro ships that transfer BMWs of all current models, Mercedes-Benz vans, and volvo cars. all made proudly in South Carolina and ironically shipped to Europe. also proudly to be a ready to work state so that means these factories are nonunion. anyways, the carnival sunshine would remain docked at the Columbus street terminal for entire month of April, only to leave to go dump grey water off the coast. now the sunshine is with 17 other carnival ships in the bahamas, transferring people to seven ships so that they can be transfered back to their homes for the time being. the most amazing thing about this meet up is, all three carnival ships who are currently and past served charleston are together. that's right Fantasy, Ecstasy and the Sunshine are part of the meet up. Fantasy and Ecstasy are actually next to each other right now if you view on the tracker. Did I mention that this Year is the Fantasy's 30th anniversary with Carnival. i wonder if they are doing a celebration party too. Y'all please stay safe. Wear your masks properly (OVER YOU NOSE AND MOUTH!!) and practice social distancing. let's hope this will end soon!! another photo will be uploaded too.
Wat Bang Phra Tattoo festival
Asians will have tattoos for strength and protection, the tattoo being the medium for spirits to enter there body - that was my understanding from the monk i talked to. Every year, thousands of people flock to this temple to get there markings recharges & blessed by the monks. Quite an experience, as they become obsessed and go on a charge to the center of the temple grounds. Once there they fight to the middle against a team of guards until their spirits are calmed by the guards - rubbing there ears!!!

Skiing holidays are a great way to enjoy all that France offers, but they aren’t without risks. One risk during ski holidays France is avalanches.
Avalanches are dangerous occurrences that can abruptly end your holiday skiing in France. Note that you’re at very little risk of being caught in an avalanche while skiing on piste. This is because all pistes are made safe by the French piste rescue services. It’s up to you whether you ski on or off piste during your ski holidays France. Determine if the thrills off piste are worth it during your group ski holidays France. It’s also worth remembering that the risk of avalanches is highest during Spring.
During the spring, there are point release avalanches, caused by the warming of the snow. The snow at this point is heavy and wet, so despite the greater number of avalanches there are few people on the mountain. Accidents from these avalanches occur when they reach inhabited areas, such as a ski chalet France based on the mountain.
Avalanches are a real risk, but they shouldn’t stop you from enjoying your ski holidays France. By being knowledgeable, you can keep yourself and your fellow mountain users safe.

A cathedral without a bishop: St. Stephan in Vienna
In order to fully fulfill the function of a capital in its medieval understanding, Vienna lacked a decisive factor: Vienna was indeed a major city, but not the seat of a bishopric, but was subordinate to the Prince-Bishop of Passau in ecclesiastical matters. St. Stephen, the most important church in the city, had only the rank of a parish church.
Therefore, the first attempts to found a diocese in Vienna date back to the time of the Babenbergs. Also the under Ottokar II Přemysl after the fire of 1258 begun generous new building of the Saint Stephen's church in the late Romanesque style pursued this goal.
The Habsburgs' representational aspirations also focused on St. Stephen after they had taken control of Austria. Albrecht I began in 1304 with the construction of a new choir. The highlight, however, was reached under Duke Rudolf IV. This ambitious Habsburg wanted to turn Vienna into an important royal residence and St. Stephen as the "Capella regia Austriaca" into the court church of the Austrian sovereign princes, the sacral center of the country.
The background for this lay in the competition with the dynasty of Luxembourg: Emperor Charles IV was just about to expand his residence Prague to a metropolis of European importance. One of his measures was the elevation of Prague to the Archbishopric of 1344, which prompted the great expansion of St. Vitus' Cathedral on Prague's Hradcany.
Rudolf's plan to make St. Stephen the seat of a bishop failed because of the resistance of Passau, because the bishop rightly feared a reduction of his diocese. Nevertheless, Rudolf found a way to give St. Stephan a special rank. In 1359 he obtained the papal confirmation for the founding of a collegiate, an association of 24 dressed in cardinal red robes priests, which was headed by a provost in a bishop-like costume. By subordinating the collegiate directly to the Pope, it was beyond the Passau influence. Thanks to complicated ecclesiastical chess moves he finally succeeded in 1365 to transfer his foundation to St. Stephen, which increased the importance of the church.
This was also reflected in the structural design of the church. In 1359 Rudolf IV began with a large-scale expansion, which was to bear all the symbols of a ruling church: a princely gallery above the west portal was framed by two-storey Duke's chapels, in which the relic treasure was kept. A princely tomb was erected as the tomb of the rulers of the country and finally four towers were planned, which was actually a building prerogative of a bishop's church. By integrating parts of the late Romanesque predecessor building (the main portal and the westwork called "Giant Gate") into his concept, Rudolf gave his building program historical depth.
With the death of Rudolf, the interest of the Habsburgs in St. Stephen palpably came to an end, and the citizens of Vienna took the initiative for the further expansion of the church. Only with Frederick III., who saw his example in Rudolf IV, did a Habsburg take part in the expansion of the church. Friedrich ordered the beginning of the work on the north tower. However, his high tomb in the Apostle Choir of the Dome, which is another notable example of the dynastic program of the Habsburgs in the late Middle Ages, is particularly reminiscent of this Habsburg.
Frederick III. finally managed to bring the prestige matter of his ancestor Rudolf to a successful end: 1469 Frederick III succeeded in to bring about the Pope to elevate Vienna to a diocese. Although the Viennese diocese initially had only a minimal extension - it was smaller than the current urban area - but the Habsburgs had imposed their own will: The Cathedral of St. Stephen had finally a bishop.
Eine Kathedrale ohne Bischof: St. Stephan in Wien
Um im mittelalterlichen Verständnis die Funktion einer Hauptstadt vollends zu erfüllen, fehlte Wien eine entscheidende Sache: Wien war zwar eine bedeutende Großstadt, aber nicht Sitz eines Bistums, sondern unterstand in kirchlichen Belangen dem Fürstbischof von Passau. St. Stephan, die wichtigste Kirche der Stadt, hatte nur den Rang einer Pfarrkirche.
Daher datieren die ersten Versuche einer Bistumsgründung in Wien bereits in die Zeit der Babenberger. Auch der unter Ottokar II. Přemysl nach dem Brand von 1258 begonnene großzügige Neubau der Stephanskirche im spätromanischen Stil verfolgte dieses Ziel.
Auf St. Stephan konzentrierten sich auch die Repräsentationsbestrebungen der Habsburger, nachdem sie die Herrschaft in Österreich übernommen hatten. Albrecht I. begann bereits 1304 mit dem Bau eines neuen Chores. Der Höhepunkt wurde jedoch unter Herzog Rudolf IV. erreicht. Dieser ehrgeizige Habsburger wollte Wien zu einer bedeutenden Residenzstadt und St. Stephan als “Capella regia Austriaca”, als Hofkirche der österreichischen Landesfürsten, zum sakralen Zentrum des Landes machen.
Der Hintergrund dafür lag in der Konkurrenz mit der Dynastie der Luxemburger: Kaiser Karl IV. war gerade dabei, seine Residenz Prag zu einer Metropole europäischer Geltung auszubauen. Eine seiner Maßnahmen war die Erhebung Prags zum Erzbistum 1344, was den Anstoß gab für den großartigen Ausbau des Veitsdomes am Prager Hradschin.
Rudolfs Plan, St. Stephan zum Sitz eines Bischofs zu machen, scheiterte zwar am Widerstand Passaus, denn der Bischof fürchtete zu Recht eine Verkleinerung seiner Diözese. Dennoch fand Rudolf einen Weg, St. Stephan einen besonderen Rang zu verleihen. 1359 erwirkte er die päpstliche Bestätigung für die Gründung eines Kollegiatstiftes, einer Vereinigung von 24 in kardinalsrote Gewänder gekleideten Priestern, denen ein Probst in bischofsähnlicher Tracht vorstand. Indem er das Kollegiat direkt dem Papst unterstellte, war es dem Passauer Einfluss entzogen. Dank komplizierter kirchenrechtlicher Schachzüge gelang es ihm schließlich 1365 seine Stiftung auf St. Stephan zu übertragen, was die Bedeutung des Gotteshauses erhöhte.
Dies schlug sich auch in der baulichen Gestalt der Kirche nieder. 1359 begann Rudolf IV. mit einem groß angelegten Ausbau, der alle Symbole einer Herrscherkirche tragen sollte: Eine Fürstenempore über dem Westportal wurde von doppelstöckigen Herzogskapellen eingerahmt, in denen der Reliquienschatz verwahrt wurde. Eine Fürstengruft als Grablege der Herrscher des Landes wurde angelegt und schließlich waren vier Türme geplant, was eigentlich ein bauliches Vorrecht einer Bischofskirche war. Indem Rudolf Teile des spätromanischen Vorgängerbaues (das als “Riesentor” bezeichnete Hauptportal und das Westwerk) in sein Konzept integrieren ließ, gab er seinem Bauprogramm historische Tiefe.
Mit dem Tod Rudolfs erlosch das Interesse der Habsburger an St. Stephan spürbar, die Wiener Bürgerschaft übernahm die Initiative für den weiteren Ausbau der Kirche. Erst mit Friedrich III., der in Rudolf IV. sein Vorbild sah, beteiligte sich wieder ein Habsburger am Ausbau der Kirche. Friedrich veranlasste den Beginn der Arbeiten am Nordturm. An diesen Habsburger erinnert vor allem jedoch sein Hochgrab im Apostelchor des Domes, ein weiteres bemerkenswertes Beispiel für das dynastische Programm der Habsburger im Spätmittelalter.
Friedrich III. gelang es schließlich auch, die Prestigeangelegenheit seines Ahnen Rudolf zu einem erfolgreichen Ende zu bringen: 1469 erreichte Friedrich III. beim Papst die Erhebung Wiens zum Bistum. Die Wiener Diözese hatte zwar zunächst nur eine minimale Ausdehung – sie war kleiner als das heutige Stadtgebiet – aber die Habsburger hatten ihren Willen durchgesetzt: Der Dom zu St. Stephan hatte endlich einen Bischof.

Günther Haidenthaller - Current Artist in Residence at Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument
Biography: Artist-in-Residence Gunther Haidenthaller grew up in sight of the Alps in Austria. He played among 200-year-old Roman ruins and immigrated to the United States at age 6. He took art classes in junior high and high school, learning to ski, rock climb, ice climb, fly fish, skydive and whitewater kayak as an adult. Studying illustration and advertising design at Utah State University before he returned to Austria for mission work, Haidenthaller spent nearly 30 years devoted to graphic design, art direction, offset and screen painting, and taking photographs, and 10 years as a soccer administrator. Now he paints full time, “haunted by the ethereal, dreamlike quality of light” that he expresses in his artwork, as resident artist at GSENM.
