And so it came to pass during late summer that the caravan found refuge in the Romany woods.
While safe from opportunistic hedge robbers, there was still the risk of predatory creatures, especially at night. Even amidst the forest’s bounty, with the war dragging on, the entourage could only look forward to a rough winter in the elements. Patriarch Arno looked at his young daughter Mica - small for her age but wise among her years - Would she still be among them come the spring?
One morning there was a terrible storm. It blew away their kindling and knocked over one of their vardos. The family’s livestock weighed down one wagon and the family huddled fearfully in the others with their worldly possessions.
The wagons shook violently and they each held their breath in anticipation as a short distance from them their panicked livestock could be heard in a cacophony of terror.
Suddenly all was quiet.
There was no wind and the sound of birds returned. Arno cautiously opened the door to sunlight. When his eyes acclimated he beheld a tall thin man bearing the robes and accoutrements of a mystic. The stranger bowed in reverence and explained that he sought respite from war’s assorted savageries upon his kind, if only for a fortnight.
The encampment enjoyed fine weather and safety from predators for 2 weeks. Arno found the mysterious man willing to do his part by gathering healing herbs and berries and tending to wounds and the well-being of both man and beast.
During his foraging trips into the forest the mystic was accompanied by little Mica, who listened to every word he would impart on nature's edibles, medicinals, and dangers. Even Arno noticed a certain twinkle in her eye that betrayed her infatuation for the stranger.
On that final evening, the mystic sat with Arno in private.
“We are grateful to your generosity, kind mage,” he said in low tones, “and wish you safe travels. We will provide you with food for your journey…”
But the mystic had other plans and proposed an exchange: He would take Mica for his apprentice and guarantee ongoing protection to the family from predators.
Arno was no fool; he’d noticed the mystic looking after Mica with a smile. It wasn’t hard to guess that the two had fallen in love.
“She is my only daughter. If we were to never see her again…”
The mystic assured him that following an initial period of intense study of the arcane disciplines they would return.
With Arno’s blessing the two disappeared into the forest.
And so when the rains came the wanderers followed a faint blue light to higher ground. Sturdy trees blocked the full brunt of winds during the more blustery storms. Forages for berries & medicinal herbs went without incident on milder days. The livestock were no longer set upon by predators. The mystic was truly a man of his word.
With the yuletide came a happy reunion. The family was visited by the mystic and Mica at what came to be referred to as the Blue Clearing. There was much celebration by the fire. Mica was very happy and carried herself with confidence to the pleasure of her father. So once the festivities were were done and it became time for the visitors to depart, they took with them Arno's blessing and were handfasted on the next full moon.

Life to me has always been an apprenticeship, just I had not realised it. Many get through it without a teacher or guidance and do fine, sometimes by learning from mistakes, sometimes by having a larger share of common sense than the rest of us were give. This one goes to all the teachers who have helped me.

Education is light….Its the only way to eliminate the obscurity
It’s the only light to eradicate the dust of a society.
Education opened the eyes and help us to stand along with the world in a single platform
Students of a primary school attending their first class of the day.There are 78126 primary schools in Bangladesh, spreading the light of knowledge to about 17.6 million children. Still this is not enough to light up the nation. Still we are far behind to illuminate the life of this apprentice.

"A Mozartkugel (English: Mozart ball), is a small, round sugar confection made of pistachio, marzipan and nougat that is covered with dark chocolate. It was originally known as Mozart-Bonbon, created in 1890 by Salzburg confectioner Paul Fürst (1856–1941) and named after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Handmade Original Salzburger Mozartkugeln are manufactured by Fürst's descendants up to today, while similar products have been developed by numerous confectioners, often industrially produced.
Paul Fürst's family descended from Dinkelsbühl; he himself was born in Sierning, Upper Austria, and was raised in Salzburg. Upon the early death of his father, he lived in the house of his uncle, who owned a confectionery at No. 13, Brodgasse. Fürst took over his uncle's business and trained as an apprentice in Vienna, Budapest, Paris, and Nice. In 1884 he opened his own pastry shop at No. 13, Brodgasse, where he, by his own account, created the Mozart-Bonbon praline after lengthy trials in 1890. As his specialty became increasingly popular, Fürst established a company that continues to sell Mozartkugeln. However, he had not applied for a patent to protect his invention, and soon other Salzburg cake shops began to sell similar products.
The original recipe for Mozartkugeln is as follows: a ball of green pistachio marzipan covered in a layer of nougat is produced. This ball is then placed on a small wooden stick and coated in dark chocolate. The stick is then placed vertically, with the ball at the top, on a platform to allow the chocolate to cool off and harden. Finally, the stick is removed; the hole that it leaves behind is filled with chocolate coating, and the ball is wrapped in tin foil. The balls remain fresh for about eight weeks at room temperature.
Vienna (/viˈɛnə/; German: Wien [viːn]) is the national capital, largest city, and one of nine states of Austria. Vienna is Austria's most populous city, with about 1.9 million inhabitants (2.6 million within the metropolitan area, nearly one third of the country's population), and its cultural, economic, and political center. It is the 6th-largest city by population within city limits in the European Union.
Until the beginning of the 20th century, Vienna was the largest German-speaking city in the world, and before the splitting of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in World War I, the city had 2 million inhabitants. Today, it is the second-largest German-speaking city after Berlin. Vienna is host to many major international organizations, including the United Nations, OPEC and the OSCE. The city is located in the eastern part of Austria and is close to the borders of the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. These regions work together in a European Centrope border region. Along with nearby Bratislava, Vienna forms a metropolitan region with 3 million inhabitants. In 2001, the city center was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In July 2017 it was moved to the list of World Heritage in Danger. Additionally to being known as the "City of Music" due to its musical legacy, as many famous classical musicians such as Beethoven and Mozart who called Vienna home. Vienna is also said to be the "City of Dreams", because of it being home to the world's first psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. Vienna's ancestral roots lie in early Celtic and Roman settlements that transformed into a Medieval and Baroque city. It is well known for having played a pivotal role as a leading European music center, from the age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century. The historic center of Vienna is rich in architectural ensembles, including Baroque palaces and gardens, and the late-19th-century Ringstraße lined with grand buildings, monuments and parks.
Vienna is known for its high quality of life. In a 2005 study of 127 world cities, the Economist Intelligence Unit ranked the city first (in a tie with Vancouver and San Francisco) for the world's most livable cities. Between 2011 and 2015, Vienna was ranked second, behind Melbourne. In 2018, it replaced Melbourne as the number one spot and continued as the first in 2019. For ten consecutive years (2009–2019), the human-resource-consulting firm Mercer ranked Vienna first in its annual "Quality of Living" survey of hundreds of cities around the world. Monocle's 2015 "Quality of Life Survey" ranked Vienna second on a list of the top 25 cities in the world "to make a base within." The UN-Habitat classified Vienna as the most prosperous city in the world in 2012/2013. The city was ranked 1st globally for its culture of innovation in 2007 and 2008, and sixth globally (out of 256 cities) in the 2014 Innovation Cities Index, which analyzed 162 indicators in covering three areas: culture, infrastructure, and markets. Vienna regularly hosts urban planning conferences and is often used as a case study by urban planners. Between 2005 and 2010, Vienna was the world's number-one destination for international congresses and conventions. It attracts over 6.8 million tourists a year.
Evidence has been found of continuous habitation in the Vienna area since 500 BC, when Celts settled the site on the Danube. In 15 BC the Romans fortified the frontier city they called Vindobona to guard the empire against Germanic tribes to the north.
Close ties with other Celtic peoples continued through the ages. The Irish monk Saint Colman (or Koloman, Irish Colmán, derived from colm "dove") is buried in Melk Abbey and Saint Fergil (Virgil the Geometer) served as Bishop of Salzburg for forty years. Irish Benedictines founded twelfth-century monastic settlements; evidence of these ties persists in the form of Vienna's great Schottenstift monastery (Scots Abbey), once home to many Irish monks.
In 976, Leopold I of Babenberg became count of the Eastern March, a district centered on the Danube on the eastern frontier of Bavaria. This initial district grew into the duchy of Austria. Each succeeding Babenberg ruler expanded the march east along the Danube, eventually encompassing Vienna and the lands immediately east. In 1145 Duke Henry II Jasomirgott moved the Babenberg family residence from Klosterneuburg in Lower Austria to Vienna. From that time, Vienna remained the center of the Babenberg dynasty.
In 1440 Vienna became the resident city of the Habsburg dynasty. It eventually grew to become the de facto capital of the Holy Roman Empire (800–1806) in 1437 and a cultural center for arts and science, music and fine cuisine. Hungary occupied the city between 1485 and 1490.
In the 16th and 17th centuries Christian forces twice stopped Ottoman armies outside Vienna, in the 1529 Siege of Vienna and the 1683 Battle of Vienna. The Great Plague of Vienna ravaged the city in 1679, killing nearly a third of its population.
In 1804, during the Napoleonic Wars, Vienna became the capital of the newly formed Austrian Empire. The city continued to play a major role in European and world politics, including hosting the Congress of Vienna in 1814/15. After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, Vienna remained the capital of what became the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The city functioned as a center of classical music, for which the title of the First Viennese School (Haydn/Mozart/Beethoven) is sometimes applied.
During the latter half of the 19th century, Vienna developed what had previously been the bastions and glacis into the Ringstraße, a new boulevard surrounding the historical town and a major prestige project. Former suburbs were incorporated, and the city of Vienna grew dramatically. In 1918, after World War I, Vienna became capital of the Republic of German-Austria, and then in 1919 of the First Republic of Austria.
From the late-19th century to 1938 the city remained a center of high culture and of modernism. A world capital of music, Vienna played host to composers such as Brahms, Bruckner, Mahler and Richard Strauss. The city's cultural contributions in the first half of the 20th century included, among many, the Vienna Secession movement in art, psychoanalysis, the Second Viennese School (Schoenberg, Berg, Webern), the architecture of Adolf Loos and the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein and the Vienna Circle. In 1913 Adolf Hitler, Leon Trotsky, Josip Broz Tito, Sigmund Freud and Joseph Stalin all lived within a few kilometres of each other in central Vienna, some of them becoming regulars at the same coffeehouses. Austrians came to regard Vienna as a center of socialist politics, sometimes referred to as "Red Vienna"(“Das rote Wien”). In the Austrian Civil War of 1934 Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss sent the Austrian Army to shell civilian housing such as the Karl Marx-Hof occupied by the socialist militia." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

05, THE SMUGGLERS APPRENTICE
Merchants Row, Scarborough. YO11 1QD
What3Words: chest.belong.yard
This is the third statue to be donated to the borough of Scarborough by Maureen Robinson and is dedicated to the Scarborough News to thank the publication for using her weekly articles for the past 20 years.
Editor Ed Asquith said: “It is a very generous gesture for Maureen to dedicate the statue to the town’s newspaper. Over the years 1,000s of people have enjoyed her walks and other columns and we thank her on behalf of the community.”
The statue, which now stands in Merchant’s Row, depicts a smuggler and his apprentice and took around two months for artist Ray Lonsdale to complete.
It is pretty impressive: the world’s tallest brick minaret, set in a complex of archaeological ruins dating back to 1193 AD, on a site that is much older than that.
Qutb Minar, sometimes spelled Qutub or Qutab, was started in 1192 by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the first Sultan of Delhi and ruler of North India from 1206 to 1210 AD.
On one of our visits, extensive renovations were taking place, and hardworking trades-people stopped for pictures.

El trabajo de menores está prohibido en Marruecos , pero la realidad es.....
Información de Save the Children: Trabajo infantil. Se encuentro miles de niños en talleres, en mercados y en el campo, que pierden la posibilidad de estudiar y prepararse para el futuro con el fin de poder ayudar a sus familias. En especial la situación de las niñas que son entregadas como asistentas domésticas a las familias en las ciudades. Su drama es invisible para el resto de la sociedad.
Cerca de 500.000 menores de 15 años trabaja en Marruecos, una cifra que no incluye sin embargo a los niños trabajadores menores de 12 años, ni a las niñas de entre 7 y 15 años empleadas en el servicio doméstico, cuyo número oscila entre 66.000 y 86.000, según denuncia Save the Children, coincidiendo con la celebración este mes del Día Mundial contra el Trabajo Infantil.
Esta organización no gubernamental afirma que las niñas empleadas en el servicio doméstico, analfabetas, procedentes del medio rural y de familias pobres y numerosas en su mayoría, comienzan a trabajar en el país africano a los 5 o 6 años y son muy vulnerables debido a su aislamiento en un medio extraño para ellas.
Las llamadas "petites bonnes" trabajan entre 12 y 15 horas diarias, siete días a la semana por un salario que, dependiendo de la edad, raramente sobrepasa los 400 dirhams al mes (unos 40 euros) y que suele ser entregado directamente a los padres.
Save the Children denuncia que estas pequeñas se ven privadas de derechos fundamentales (especialmente de la educación) y expuestas a violencia física, psicológica y sexual.

Prohibition of Child Labor and Minimum Age for Employment
In 2003 the government signed an accord with Spain to repatriate more than 6,000 unaccompanied minors. Upon returning to the country, the children encountered material difficulties and abuse on the streets, as well as abuse by border officials. Spain pledged funds for a rehabilitation center in the Tangier area to assist with the reinsertion of minors.At year's end, the center was not yet functional.
The law protects children from exploitation in the workplace and prohibits forced or compulsory labor; however, the government had difficulty effectively implementing these laws, except in organized labor markets. Noncompliance with child labor laws was common, particularly in the agricultural sector. In 2004 the International Program on the Elimination of Child Labor reported that 80 percent of the country's underage workers worked on family farms.
In 2005 the government reported that there were 600,000 child workers, and 1.5 to 2 million children were not registered in school. Of those children between the ages of 12 to 14, 18 percent worked. In rural areas 19 percent of children between the ages of seven to 14 worked; in urban areas children composed 2 percent of the labor force.
In practice children were apprenticed before age 12, particularly in small, family-run workshops in the handicraft industry. Children also worked in the informal sector in textile, carpet, and light manufacturing activities. Children's safety and health conditions and wages were often substandard. Many young girls were exploited as domestic servants (see section 5).
