Oldest written records of the house U Raka Prague's New World comes from the 1793, when local butcher Simonis bought lands to build a stables. The name irself first appears in 1794, it was family of Libický which apparently transformed the stables into house. Today it is most often mention because writers Arnošt Lustig and Ota Pavel together bought it during in the 1950's and used it for parties. However Lustig emigrated, Ota Pavel died and house ended up in desolate condition. Today's owner created complete copy of original house with help of historians and now a hotel resides there.

Giraffes are the tallest living terrestrial animals and the largest ruminants on the planet. They’re also one of the most iconic animals in Africa!
Here are some interesting facts about them that you may not know:
1. Three decades ago, giraffe species in Africa numbered about 150,000 individuals across their range. Today that figure has dropped by about 40% to around 95,000 animals. The reasons for the decline are habitat loss and degradation, and poaching. Southern African populations appear fairly stable but habitat loss and the threat of inbreeding of smaller populations are real threats.
2. Giraffe are often seen as single animals or in loosely associated groups with frequent splitting and joining up occurring – a process known as fission-fusion.
3. People are often taken by surprise to see a giraffe lying down, although it is common behaviour while resting or sleeping. However, lying down can make a giraffe more susceptible to predation by lions and even a single lioness is capable of catching and killing an adult giraffe in this position.
4. Giraffe will feed on forage that is usually beyond the reach of other herbivores. This reduces the competition and stress on the local wildlife. With a tongue of up to 50cm in length, even branches that are well protected by thorns or spines are not impervious to the attention of these incredible creatures.
5. The ‘horns’ on a giraffe are more correctly known as ossicones – conical protrusions of bone that will grow throughout the life of a bull giraffe.
6. Giraffe have a wonderful (albeit ungainly) way of drinking water. Unfortunately, they are most vulnerable to predation in this position, and many bear the resulting scars of lion attacks on their backs and flanks.
7. The distinctive pattern on every giraffe has been used by researchers to identify individuals within a population. The pattern also provides excellent camouflage amongst the woodland habitat in which they usually occur, despite their size.
Located at the base of the active volcano, Mt. Agung, the Hindu Mother Temple features the wonderful black thatched roofs made of black arenga pinnata fibres.

Switzerland, Obwalden, Melchsee-Frutt
##############################################
This small mountain lake is located in the valley of Melchsee-Frutt, a tableland in central Switzerland. This small lake is located at an altitude of 2000 meters above sea level. At this point you have a great few at the famous Titlis Mountain (3238 meters above sea level).
The area around the Titlis is a famous winter sports area and during the summer months it is a hiking paradise. From the upper cable car station, you can reach a suspension bridge, called Cliff Walk, Europe's highest suspension bridge. The highest point is 500 meters above ground... a real thrill...

Time Ticking..
Written by e5ty Fellah (candle of hope)
I’m sure you all noticed how fast time is ticking, or should I say how fast time is running.. I mean you wake up in the morning do a couple of things and when you check the clock you realize that almost 4 hours have passed while you did only a few things..
subhanAllah..
TO be honest, it is scaring me a lot.. to the extent that at times I can’t sleep at night from fear.. Fear of what?
Continue reading and you will know why..
As we know that time passing by fast is one of the signs of the hours, signs that show us how close the Day of Judgment is.
Our beloved prophet – Peace Be Upon him – mentioned that from the signs of the hours, the time will pass fast.. To the extent that a year would seem like a month, a month like a week, a week like a day and a day like a couple of hours..
Haven’t you all realized that this is what’s happening now?
All this proof yet people still have doubts that Islam is the true religion of all humans..
I remember when I used to tell my sis.. “When will you give birth to your child we are all excited” and subhanAllah two months have passed since she gave birth..
I remember telling her those words as if it was just yesterday..
SubhanAllah..
I remember when I started my summer course.. SubhanAllah, as if it was just yesterday..
Time is ticking too fast.. We are growing old fast..
What have we prepared for our hereafter?
There is not much time left..
What scares me the most, is that I know that almost all of the signs of the hours have occurred and I’m still not ready to face Allah.. I have a lot of things that I need to do, actually MUST do yet I have many obstacles.. but inshaALlah I will try my best to achieve it all ..
Stop wasting your times, specially in these coming days.. Because we are losing track of time.. so please seize every second..
May Allah have mercy on all Muslims..

What makes us Shia
Now you can see
Come Moharam
Even in little
Childrens eyes
Only Karbala

Enemies of Shiasm
Are enemies of Humanity
I read some real disparaging words against Shiasm , I think sites that propagate Hate towards any community should be completely blocked on the Internet sites such as Allah Ho Akbar , Char Yar, some Iternet policing is very important at an early stage…These are sites that fuel Hate , sectarian violence ,hate for a particular Nationality, hate for India and Indians specially Muslim Indians,site that are funded by a certain Islamic or perhaps UnIslamic school of thought with abundance of petro dollars at stake..very soon the dirt will find its way on their doorsteps too..
Most of these sites propound the Wahhabi doctrine of a puritanical Islam..

Stranger In Paradise
Written by - Robert Wright & George Forrest
Take my hand
I'm a stranger in paradise
All lost in a wonderland
A stranger in paradise
If I stand starry-eyed
That's a danger in paradise
For mortals who stand beside an angel like you
I saw your face and I ascended
Out of the commonplace into the rare somewhere
In space I hang suspended
Until I know there's a chance that you care
Won't you answer this fervent prayer
Of a stranger in paradise
Don't send me in dark despair
From all that I hunger for
But open your angel's arms
To this stranger in paradise
And tell him that he need be
A stranger no more

I love the inspirational, type-written musings of Boy Under the Bridge. You may have seen the story on him in the mainstream news a few weeks ago. He has been posting little inspiring musings, type-written on gorgeous thick paper mainly around Hawthorn and Kew. When I contacted him on Instagram, and thanked him for helping a friend of mine, and expressed regret that I would not be able to see them because of the 5km lockdown, he sent me some in the mail. So, this one is "posted" by me.

THE EASTERN GRAY/EASTERN GREY SQUIRREL (SCIURUS CAROLINENSIS)
By Paul Williams
The Grey (or Gray) squirrel, you either love 'em or you hate 'em. Cute and fluffy little funsters or destructive critters who ruin trees, kill bird chicks and trees and damage our homes... oh and it's their fault we lost our native Red squirrels as well!
OK
I get it and I see both sides of the story of course. For my part, I am a nature, wildlife and landscape photographer who prefers the company of animals and natural beauty to fellow humans who are systematically plundering Mother Earth's resources and killing off her beautiful creatures at an alarming rate! I believe there is a natural order of things, creatures kill other creatures to survive, they adapt to situations and when mankind encroaches on their territory to make a fast buck, those animals sometimes adapt to survive and the order changes. That is the balance of nature which is ever changing and affected by us..... the dumbest of the great apes. Some species are driven out by others, some may be destined to become extinct, the fittest will survive, and sometime a species will need intervention and help from mankind in order to survive... usually as a direct consequence of mankind's own actions in destroying the animal kingdom's natural habitat of course.
I adore these little fellas and at almost sixty years old, I never grew up knowing red squirrels at all. I've seen reds in Scotland and black squirrels in Stanley Park on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, but in my beloved home country of England I have always known and loved the cute little Greys. They visit my garden and give me hours, days, weeks of happiness and wonderful photographic opportunities, and I see them in Parks and forests all around me, so it's time to offer up an insight into the Grey squirrel, much loved, much hated... a sort of Marmite rodent if you will.
WHAT EXACTLY IS A SQUIRREL?
The word 'Squirrel', was first recorded in 1327 and hails from the Anglo-Norman word 'Esquirel', from old French 'Escurel', which was a reflex for the Latin word 'Sciurus'.The Eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) is also known as the Eastern Grey squirrel or simply grey squirrel depending on the region of the world it is found. It is a tree squirrel, of the squirrel family Sciuridae including over one hundred arboreal species native to all continents of the world other than Antarctica and Oceania. Tree squirrels live mostly in trees, apart from the flying squirrel. The best known genus is Sciurus, containing most of the bushy tailed squirrels which are found in Europe, North America, temperate Asia as well as central and south America.
The scientific classification for the Eastern Grey is:
KINGDOM: ANIMALIA PHYLUM: CHORDATA CLASS: MAMMALIA ORDER: RODENTIA FAMILY: SCIURIDAE GENUS: SCIURUS SUBGENUS: SCIURUS SPECIES: SCIURUS CAROLINENSIS
They were first noted by German naturalist, botanist, entomologist, herpetologist, and malacologist - Johann Friedrich Gmelin in 1788.
A mammal and rodent, predominantly herbivorous they are none the less an omnivore with a life span of between two and ten years. They can grow to 70cm in length and weigh up to 8kg. There are more than two hundred and sixty species of worldwide squirrel, the smallest being the African pygmy squirrel at just 10cm in length, whereas the Indian giant squirrel is three feet long! The oldest fossil of a squirrel, Hesperopetes, dates back to the late Eocene epoch period Chadronian period of 40-35 million years ago. The tree squirrels rotate their ankles by 180 degrees, so that the hind paws pointy backwards gripping tree bark which enables them to descend a tree headfirst.
Originally native to Eastern and Midwestern United States of America, they were first introduced into the United Kingdom in 1876 in Henbury Park, Macclesfield in Cheshire when Victorian banker Thomas V. Brocklehurst released a pair of Greys that he brought back from a business trip to America after their attraction as pets had waned. Victorians had a penchant for collecting exotic animals and birds of the world, but trends came and went and subsequently animals were simply discarded into the wilderness. There are early records of greys released near Denbighshire in north Wales from private collections. Later introduced to several regions in the UK, they quickly settled and spread, colonizing an area of three hundred miles in a quarter of a century between Argyll and Stirlingshire in Scotland.
Introductions of the Greys between 1902 and 1929 (the year of the last recorded introduction), included: Regent’s Park in London, Berkshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, Devon, Warwickshire, Nottinghamshire, Suffolk and Hampshire. Grey Squirrels spread into Gloucestershire and eastern Wiltshire with animals coming directly from the United States or from Woburn. One hundred greys were released in Richmond Park in Surrey in 1902, Ninety one into Regent’s Park between 1905 and 1907 and a further ten New Jersey imported greys were introduced into Woburn Park in Bedfordshire.
Predators include hawks, weasels, raccoons, bobcats, foxes, domestic and feral cats, snakes, owls, and dogs, African harrier-hawks in Africa and... oh yes, Mankind pretty much everywhere who despise, mistreat, cull or eat it .
FACTS, MYTHS AND THAT POXY PARAPOX!
The massive decline in native red squirrels blamed upon the spread of the invasive greys has always been perhaps a little harsh as reds were already in a steep decline due to loss of habitat and disease and thus the greys simply took over the areas where the reds were dwindling. It's also a fact that reds were also seen as a plague, branded as pests who killed birds and damaged trees and the culling of reds almost brought them to the brink of extinction. Licenses to kill reds could still be obtained up until the seventies!
Reds suffered at the hands of mankind thanks to a combination of agricultural deforestation also linked with war and fuel needs which caused extinction in Southern Scotland and Ireland by the early eighteenth century, way before greys had been introduced. Harsh winters killed off the less hardy red population in the early nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Greys are more adept at finding food and adapting to locations and environments, but also carry the squirrel poxvirus (SQPV) which although not particularly harmful to them, is a serious infection for the reds.
Parapox in red squirrels causes swollen lesions around the mouth, eyes, ears and nose also the front paws and sometimes genitals and skin ulcers and kills a red within fifteen days. There is no definitive correlation between the spread of the virus and the spread of the Greys, it actually arrived in several areas before the greys began to colonize there. An epidemic virus was observed in Red squirrels from at least 1900 with isolation attempts failing, and the first case of Parapox in the UK was in 1980 in the county of Norfolk. Greys cannot transmit the virus to reds via saliva or faeces, but reds can between each other from bodily secretions and at animal feeders in gardens. The transmission from greys to reds is though to come from parasites. Eight to ten per cent of reds survive the virus, and there is some evidence that reds are slowly building an evolved resistance.
Greys are seen as pests to forest land, stripping bark from trees during May and June, and are also capable of destroying household bins, water pipes, causing roof damage not to mention taking eggs and killing young chicks of ground nesting and songbird populations. They also take from bird feeders and there is a whole industry for creating squirrel proof feeders these days.
THE CULLING OF GREY SQUIRRELS
Grey squirrels have limited legal protection and can be legally controlled all year round by a variety of methods including shooting and trapping. Methods of trapping and killing include Drey poking and shooting, Tunnel trapping using spring traps set in accordance with BASC’s trapping pest mammals code of practice. They can also be shot using a shotgun or powerful air rifle or up until September 30th 2014 poisoned by Warfarin (Now outlawed).
Whilst professional trapping and extermination is hopefully done as humanely as possible, there have been cases, many of them where cost savings have been gained by battering the squirrels to death! Grey squirrels are trapped in ghastly metal contraptions for hours and hours, wearing themselves out frantically trying to escape by gnawing at the metals bars. They bite the floor and scratch at them with their claws and do not get a moments peace or rest through absolute fear. Once the traps are retrieved, each squirrel, terrified will be thrown into a sack and smacked on the head countless times with a blunt instrument. When a mother is slaughtered, her babies who are totally dependent on her, will die a slow death of thirst and starvation.
There is an argument for the control of Greys on many grounds but also a counter argument that Culling does not work, and has not on countless times where, once a population of greys have been culled, the nearest group will move back in and claim the land. The university of Bristol concluded that there was little evidence that culling greys to save red squirrels was effective, and that perhaps finding a way of boosting red squirrel immunity to the poxvirus or planting areas of yew trees where reds are known to thrive and spending money on research into positive moves might be a better option.
In Ireland, the re-introduction of the Pine marten, a species made extinct originally by the very same land owners who also wish to do the same to the grey squirrel, has seen the rapid demise of the grey and the reintroction of the native reds. Red squirrels are smaller and more nimble than their grey counterparts, and as such can get to the very ends of tree branches where neither the pine martins, nor more importantly the heavier greys can, thus surviving and thriving. As a result in Ireland, the grey squirrel population has crashed in approximately 9,000 km2 of its former range and the reds has become common once more after a thirty year absence... oh and Pine Martens are protected again!
In Scotland, Pine Martens exist in areas where Red squirrels thrive, and greys do not. So perhaps there is a lesson here, as in England where there are no pine martens, the greys are prolific breeders. So there is an argument against the barbarity of shooting and poisoning greys, and if, as so many believe, the greys MUST be controlled, how about a more humane and natural method that nature intended.. with re-introduction of predators. Just a thought!
So a few facts and figures on the greys and to wrap up, from a purely personal perspective I love these little guys, as I do almost every creature in nature other than those eight legged beasties that shall not be named and for which I have a deep and powerful phobia that borders on paranoia!
I could no more harm an animal deliberately than eat a McDonald's McRib (Once saw how they are made and let me just say... eeeuuuuuwwwww!!).
They are small, cute, cuddly, furry, they photograph beautifully, have great personality and make me smile. They trust me enough to take food from my hand in parks, and I can't bare the though of ugly, hairy land owners sticking a shotgun in their face and blowing them away! I appreciate they can be a pest, a problem, a menace, that their PR managers might have a bit of a problem winning you over when they flay small chicks alive on your lawn or decimate the songbird population by stealing their eggs.... and perhaps there is a need to keep the population under control and try and re-establish the red population.....
Yep I get that....
I just hope we can solve the problem more humanely to create a peaceful coexistence of the reds and greys in different areas. A man can dream can't he.

i've written this a thousand times in my head, lets see if i can write it for real now.
ok, first and foremost thank you dad for taking your lunch break to help me with this photo. also, thank you mom for driving me to locations throughout this whole project. thank you annie for modeling even sometimes when you didnt want to and being there and supporting me throughout this project. thank you all of you. not just my family, but every single one of you for adding me as a contact, viewing my photos, commenting, favoriting, everything. seriously you guys thank you, without you i dont think i would've finished this project.
i started this project on a whim, no planning, not knowing what i was getting myself into. it started as a 52 weeks project but a couple days into january i decided to do a 365 instead. i wouldnt change this year for anything, ive met so many great people, i'd thank you all but the list would be endless. this year has been crazy. i've changed and grown so much. or at least i think i have.
to all of you guys who are finishing this project today with me congratulations, i know how hard it is to upload daily. to everyone starting this project tomorrow, i say go for it, you will grow, you will learn things that you never thought you would learn, you will change, you will push yourself. but it is all for the better. there have been sometimes during this project where i just didnt see the point, i cheated so much. but im still proud of myself for finishing. there were some days when i felt like i was taking photos just for the sake of this project, but others for myself.
this project helped me see the beauty in the world, i appreciate light and nature so much now, i hardly watch tv nowadays and i spend most of my time outdoors. this project has really opened my eyes to the world, what all is out there, who all is out there. the opportunities that my life will hold.
im done. its just so weird to be able to say that. this isnt the end now. this is only the beginning, and as cheesy as that sounds it really is true.
i am done.
once i finish editing it i will put up a behind the scenes video on youtube.
to see the behind the scenes/making of this photo, click here.
also i made a blog post here.

The written history of Artziniega begins in the year 1272, when the King of Castile, Alfonso X El Sabio, granted Artziniega the letter-puebla. The Villa would be governed from now on by the jurisdiction of Bizkaia the natural one of the land, and for economic and tax matters by the jurisdiction of Vitoria. Until Don Tello's death, it belonged to Bizkaia, but upon his death, in 1370, he handed it over to his brother King Enrique II, who a year later handed it over to Pedro López de Ayala, the Chancellor, along with the valleys of Orozko and Llodio. While it belonged to Bizkaia, the Lord appointed the mayors, and later the town did so in an open council.

The earliest written record so far found about the origins of Widecombe Fair states that Uncle Tom Cobley and his friends left Spreyton in 1802 to go to the well known Widecombe fair. The annual Fair was an important part of the economy of the Parish.In the autumn of each year the local farmers took stock of how the harvest had been, the amount of hay and straw that they had been able to harvest and the number of stock they had on their farms.Fodder could not be transported to this high moorland village but the livestock could be driven on the foot to sources food in other Parishes. Farmers could decide to buy fodder a Parish well off the moor and drive their animals there for the winter months or sell their surplus stock. These autumn Fairs were a vital part of the farming year and farmers from other areas would come and purchase cattle , ponies and sheep and drive them home to where they had surplus fodder available in the form of corn, hay and root crops. Widecombe Fair has been immortalised in the old Devon folk song entitled 'Widecombe Fair'.

I personally think most trees are more interesting after the leaves have left the branches. This maple is a very old one. Seen at the Otto Preserve on Lummi Island, Washington.

This poignant letter was written 100 years ago during the Spanish Flu Epidemic by F. Scott Fitzgerald. There are many parallels to today.
THIS SIDE OF PARADISE: A LETTER FROM F. SCOTT FITZGERALD, QUARANTINED IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE
Dearest Rosemary,
It was a limpid dreary day, hung as in a basket from a single dull star. I thank you for your letter. Outside, I perceive what may be a collection of fallen leaves tussling against a trash can. It rings like jazz to my ears. The streets are that empty. It seems as though the bulk of the city has retreated to their quarters, rightfully so. At this time, it seems very poignant to avoid all public spaces. Even the bars, as I told Hemingway, but to that he punched me in the stomach, to which I asked if he had washed his hands. He hadn’t. He is much the denier, that one. Why, he considers the virus to be just influenza. I’m curious of his sources.
The officials have alerted us to ensure we have a month’s worth of necessities. Zelda and I have stocked up on red wine, whiskey, rum, vermouth, absinthe, white wine, sherry, gin, and lord, if we need it, brandy. Please pray for us.
You should see the square, oh, it is terrible. I weep for the damned eventualities this future brings. The long afternoons rolling forward slowly on the ever-slick bottomless highball. Z. says it’s no excuse to drink, but I just can’t seem to steady my hand. In the distance, from my brooding perch, the shoreline is cloaked in a dull haze where I can discern an unremitting penance that has been heading this way for a long, long while. And yet, amongst the cracked cloudline of an evening’s cast, I focus on a single strain of light, calling me forth to believe in a better morrow.
Faithfully yours,
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The oldest written mention of the village of Rodbav dates from 1337 in the papal tax register.
The church was built in the 13th century as a basilica with three naves, with a semicircular apse and a tower to the west.
The church was fortified in the 15th century: Above the central nave was a floor equipped with sockets and chutes, supported on a gallery of buttresses joined by arches, a construction similar to that of Șoarș. A wooden defensive gallery was added to the tower. A stone fortification wall reinforced with towers was built, including a semi-cylindrical tower (in ruins) and the northeast corner tower used by the villagers to keep the bacon. In the 18th century, the shape of the apse changed from semi-circular to polygonal.
The altar and the priest's pew were built in the Baroque style. The altar was repainted in 1900 by Josef Vogel from Sighișoara. The central panel of the altar was stolen without being found, as were the two polychrome wooden statues of the apostles Peter and Paul that flanked it. The stone cross was made in 1851.
