I wish a Good Christmas to all my Flickr friends :)

rule number one:

wherever you are in life be aware of your surroundings.

rule number two:

use common sense if it doesn't feel right it is wrong.

rule numer three:

stay safe.

i worked so many jobs that demanded that you always be aware of your surroundings for your safety and your wellbeing.

I fought in the jungle.

I drove a truck in New York City.

I worked in a factory.

I drove a car long hard miles.

I made television commercials (technical not actor).

I worked in a photography studio.

I ran a customer service department.

When I say be aware I mean, mentally, emotionally ( even and steady) clear headed and leery.

Please in everything you do stay safe.

amen

Somewhere near the city of Middleburg Virginia (horse capital of the state!) We came to a curve in the road and this old building was sitting neatly on the outside edge of the curve. Going behind the building proved to be providential and just one way that God has often looked out for our wellbeing on our adventures! More on this tomorrow! :)

Mous, my daughter's cat, is a cat whose only occupation was to have a great time and her only worries were food, cleaningness and her overall wellbeing. I 'd like to note down that she was a stray newborn my daughter adopted when she was in Budapest! Such a tough Hungarian cat and her nose up looking down on you. When we 're just the two of us I chide her of course, but she totally avenges me. Chairs, textiles and other objects are targeted.

Anyway, discussions about debt, financial crisis, exit from the Eurozone and other related issues left her indifferent! But when she heard that many things will be restricted she was seriously worried because she connected those with her comfortable life. She had to understand what exactly the crisis is and how it relates to the economy. Two years ago I found her in the library browsing my daughter's books. I don't know exactly what she read and what she understood, however she said: "Nonsense!!!! The economic theories are infinite. A different one for each case depending whom they serve. Each one contradicts the other! "After that she came down from the library, chased a spider, squeezed her and sent her to meet her ancestors. A fly was next which had the same fate. She then climbed on the library again and she stated: "Did the insects have an opinion about economic theories? Look at what I did to them with my own theory".

I asked her to pose, she finally agreed to publicize the picture, provided to check it first to see if she is photogenic.

Lately she mumbles something about demonstrations and that it is very chic to demonstrate holding a stemmed glass, drinking during the demonstration! She probably opened the TV secretely. Of course I explained to her that what she sees and hears on TV should not be seen not even from animals!

H Mους η γάτα της κόρης μου ,είναι μια γάτα που σαν ασχολία είχε να περνάει όμορφα με μόνη έννοια το φαγητό της, την καθαριότητά της και γενικά την καλοπέρασή της.Σημειωτέον ήταν ένα αδέσποτο νεογέννητο που η κόρη μου υιοθέτησε όταν ήταν στην Βουδαπέστη! Πολύ ζόρικια η Ουγγαρέζα γάτα και η μύτη της ψηλά.Όταν βρισκόμαστε μόνες βέβαια της τα ψέλνω κανονικά ,αλλά κι αυτή με εκδικείται κανονικά. Καρέκλες, υφάσματα και άλλα αντικείμενα γίνονται στόχος.

Τέλος πάντων οι συζητήσεις για χρέος, οικονομική κρίση,έξοδο απο την Ευρωζώνη και άλλα συναφή την αφήνανε αδιάφορη!Όταν όμως άκουσε οτι πολλά πράγματα θα περιοριστούν ανησύχησε σοβαρά διότι το συνέδεσε με την άνετη ζωή της. Έπρεπε να καταλάβει οπωσδήποτε τι πράγμα είναι ακριβώς η κρίση και πως συνδέεται με την οικονομία.Πρίν δυο χρόνια την τσάκωσα στην βιβλιοθήκη να ξεφυλίζει τα βιβλία της κόρης μου.Δεν ξέρω ακριβώς τι διάβασε και τι κατάλαβε ,πάντως μου δήλωσε."Αηδίες!!!!Οι οικονομικές θεωρίες είναι άπειρες.Μία για κάθε περίπτωση και ανάλογα ποιούς εξυπηρετούν .Η μια είναι αντίθετη απο την άλλη ! "Μετά κατέβηκε κυνήγησε μια αράχνη ,την ζούληξε και την έστειλε να συναντήσει τους προγόνους της.Ακολούθησε μια μύγα η οποία είχε την ίδια τύχη. Ανέβηκε στην βιβλιοθήκη πάλι και μου πέταξε. " Είχαν άποψη τα έντομα για οικονομικές θεωρίες? Δες τι τους έκανα εγω με την δική μου θεωρία "

Της ζήτησα να ποζάρει, τελικά δέχτηκε να δημοσιοποιήσω την φωτογραφία,με την προυπόθεση να την ελέγξει πρώτα για να δει αν έχει φωτογένεια.

Τώρα τελευταία κάτι μουρμουρίζει για διαδηλώσεις και ότι είναι πολύ σικ να διαδηλώνεις κρατώντας ένα κολονάτο ποτήρι στο χέρι και πίνοντας στην διάρκεια της διαδήλωσης !Μάλλον άνοιξε την τηλεόραση κρυφά. Της εξήγησα βέβαια πως αυτά που βλέπει και ακούει στην τηλεόραση δεν πρέπει να τα βλέπουν ούτε τα ζώα!

People are still wearing masks and following the social distancing protocol in the park. But it is more important to keep healthy by exercising.. and getting some fresh air.

Spring has returned, but this poor Lomo Color 100 roll was struggling to hold it together. Or maybe my developer was struggling. Or a bit of both. We're all struggling right now, trying to hold on, hold it together.

But this rainbow from last September, when the world didn't see so insane, was a little slice of perfection.

I took one day trip after my ill-fated July excursion. I walked along the banks of Crab Creek and then worked my weary way up into the heights above.

It wasn't meant to be a strenuous hike, but I was exhausted most of the time.

Over the winter, I've tried to keep in some sort of shape. I walk about five miles a day and I assume that's helping.

Next weekend will (likely) be my first day of the year back east. I plan on doing a few smaller hikes/walks mostly to keep warm and wear myself out. But I'm excited to get back. I miss the place when I'm away.

I could have decided to go today, but the weather report called for all clear skies. I'll gamble and wait for some clouds next weekend.

No camping yet, though. If I have to, I'm fine with camping in the low 30s, but if I don't have to (and I don't), I'd rather not.

I met this little group in my park the other day. They are part of Wheels for Wellbeing (wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/) that provides disabled people with mobility; the gent on the left had had a stroke. The young lady allowed me to have a go on hers & it was wonderful! I quite fancy one!

Our little ones are the most treasured and precious little things in our World.

This was taken on a photoshoot of mine a while back, the 1st one I've done of a new baby but was enjoyable and a great learning experience.

Wohlbefinden / WELLBEING - Massage in a modern way - 😂

as a prerequisite for learning and studying ...

wohlfühlen, als Voraussetzung für Lernen und Studieren ...

The learning center SQUARE is an extension of the campus of the University of St. Gallen (HSG). The university calls the new building an " experimental field " for new formats of learning and teaching, which, when mature, will be integrated into the " normal " HSG education.

Sou Fujimoto Architects, based in Tokyo and Paris, won the architectural competition with its "Open Grid" project. The jury attested it "an excellent interpretation and implementation of the didactic concept". Thanks to numerous major sponsors and donations from HSG alumni, operations could begin in the spring semester of 2022, as planned in the ambitious timetable, after a short construction period of around two years.

The building consists of several cubes arranged in a grid pattern, which range in height from 3.5 to 18.5 meters. Inside, modular building elements that are acoustically and visually connected to each other allow for adaptation to specific didactic needs such as panel discussions, lectures or exams. The new learning center creates space for 500 to 700 learning and workstations.

Das learning center SQUARE ist eine Erweiterung des Campus der Universität St. Gallen (HSG). Die Universität nennt den Neubau ein « Experimentierfeld » für neue Formate des Lernens und Lehrens, die, wenn sie reif sind, in die « normale » HSG-Ausbildung integriert werden.

Das Büro von Sou FujimotoArchitects mit Sitz in Tokyo and Paris konnte sich mit seinem Projekt «Open Grid» (offenes Raster) im Architekturwettbewerb durchsetzen. Die Jury bescheinigte ihm «eine hervorragende Interpretation und Umsetzung des didaktischen Konzeptes». Dank zahlreichen Grossförderern und Spenden von HSG-Alumni konnte der Betrieb, wie im ehrgeizigen Fahrplan vorgesehen, nach einer kurzen, rund zweijährigen Bauzeit im Frühlingssemester 2022 aufgenommen werden.

Das Gebäude besteht aus mehreren rasterförmig angeordneten Würfeln, welche zwischen 3.5 und 18.5 Meter hoch sind. Im Inneren ermöglichen modulare, miteinander akustisch und visuell verbundene Gebäudeelemente eine Anpassung an die jeweiligen didaktischen Bedürfnisse wie Podiumsdiskussionen, Lehrveranstaltungen oder Prüfungen. Das neue Lernzentrum schafft Raum für 500 bis 700 Lern- und Arbeitsplätze.

Wellbeing Beacon by Emily Harper

We aim to encourage people to take steps to improve their wellbeing in their daily lives. When this isn’t enough, the University of Southampton’s Biomedical Engineering programme is training future leaders in how technology can be used to support better health and wellness. Together we can change lives.

The lighthouses will then be displayed together for a Farewell event in September 2024 which will be a chance to see all lighthouses gathered in one place, a truly unique sight. The sculptures will then go into auction to raise vital funds for Southampton Children’s Hospital.

The theme this year was ' Health and Wellbeing ' which meant all aspects of the pageant in Liverpool City Centre on June 5th was for a much healthier emphasis on lifestyles as hundreds took to the streets for a vibrant and colourful pageant with a difference !

(Still no PC, be using my Lil' Sis's when I visit her every couple of days to either upload or comment, no time for both)

There wasn’t a petrol powered vehicle in sight – everything was to be run by foot, solar, battery or pedal power making this the most environmentally and fitness friendly Lord Mayors Pageant ever !

The parade made its way through the city centre on a loop circuit for about 100mins and the delightful dancers never stopped once despite it being an extremely hot day, a pleasant change to last year when it rained non stop during the pageant !

TWG Tea has a nice restaurant in a prime location in The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands Resort.

TWG Tea is a brand of tea established in Singapore in 2008. The company promotes itself as a luxury brand.

TWG stands for The Wellbeing Group.

The company opened its first tea outlet in Raffles Place's Republic Plaza. Today the company has outlets in many countries around the world, including one in Vancouver BC, Canada.

BUT, all is not well in TWG's tea leaves, even though their sign leads one to believe they have been around since 1837, the court disagreed.

In 2011, a lawsuit against TWG Tea was filed by tea retailer Tsit Wing International and its parent company Tsit Wing, for incorporating the abbreviation TWG in its name, which was trademarked by Tsit Wing.

The latter company, based in Hong Kong, was founded in 1932. A judge handling the lawsuit noted in July 2013 the use of the "existence of the date 1837 in TWG Tea's sign has led people to believe that the company was established at that time", while in actuality it was founded much later, in 2008.

In justification, the firm's spokespeople claimed that it was instead a tribute to the "year when the Chamber of Commerce was founded in Singapore". The case was ruled in Tsit Wing's favour, with damages payable yet to be decided.

Shortly after the ruling, TWG Tea filed for appeal.

On 3 December 2014, TWG Tea lost a court appeal and as a result it may have to change its name in Hong Kong. TWG Tea has room to pursue its final appeal. According to the company's lawyer, in case the company loses the appeal again, it may use another registered logo containing the acronym "TW" instead of the currently used "TWG", to which Tsit Wing had no objection.

Shareholding law:

A second lawsuit was launched against the company 17 February 2014 by the company's founder, Manoj M Murjani, who claimed his ownership in the company has been unlawfully diluted by OSIM Group, and as a result was in breach of shareholding agreement previously signed. The trial was completed in 2016 and Murjani's claim was dismissed.

One of the wonderful things about Lancaster is the genuine sense of community. On the site of a former quarry is now a community garden, and here is the community compost heap!

It helps to make money go further by growing your own stuff, and it brings people together in common tasks, and enhances wellbeing in all sorts of ways.
