This seemingly thin book is heavy on wisdom. If you think of the chain that goes
data -> information -> knowledge -> wisdom,
a lot of books don't spend much time on the wisdom, and if you want wisdom you'll do well here. He has basically 20 short essays on aspects of dealing and resisting; a typical essay will start with an expression of the principle involved, follow with historical examples of how is was handled in the past, and conclude with concrete actions you can take which follow the principle.
It's good and I think you'd do well with it. After you've read it, leave it on the bathroom window sill for your guests.
The tower of town hall in Głogów is just over 80 m high and is currently second highest in Poland, after the tower in Gdańsk town hall. It is 13 cm lower than first one, which was built in 1720. The tower, Głogów town hall as well as the entire town were completely destroyed at the end of World War II. The remains of tower were blown up and dismantled in 1960s.
The first steps to rebuild the town hall and tower were undertaken in 1984. The tower was reconstructed in parallel with work on the reconstruction of entire building of town hall only at the end of the 1990s. At that time, until now, the costly long-term works aimed at rebuilding the Old Town of Głogów are still underway.
The tower is open to visitors, and from its terrace you can admire the panorama of entire city and the vicinity of Głogów.

Wieża ratusza w Głogowie ma wysokość nieco ponad 80 m i jest obecnie drugą pod względem wysokości w Polsce, po wieży ratusza gdańskiego. Jest o 13 cm niższa od pierwszej, która powstała w 1720 roku. Wieża, głogowski ratusz jak również całe miasto zostały doszczętnie zniszczone w końcu II Wojny Światowej. Pozostałości wieży zostały wysadzone w powietrze i rozebrane w latach 60-tych XX wieku.
Pierwsze działania w celu odbudowy ratusza i wieży podjęto w 1984 roku. Wieżę zrekonstruowano równolegle z pracami przy odbudowie całego gmachu ratusza dopiero w końcu lat 90-tych XX wieku. W tym czasie aż do chwili obecnej ciągle trwają kosztowne wieloletnie prace zmierzające do odbudowy Starego Miasta Głogowa.
Wieża jest dostępna do zwiedzania, a z jej tarasu można podziwiać panoramę całego miasta i okolic Głogowa.
Friday afternoons are always busy (well relatively so for our current era) at East Deerfield and this day was no different with three different trains all working at once. Here is train EDRJ doubling up their train at the west end of East Deerfield Yard. They will soon be under way to the far western end of the Pan Am system at Rotterdam Junction, NY. The C40-8W, SD40-2, C40-8W trio of MEC 7727, 3403, 7835 leading the train are framed up by the classic clutter of all the old school Boston and Maine era infrastructure still hanging on.
In the background can br seen the locomotive shop while standing guard in the foreground is a link to the past, known as WX Tower in B&M parlance it controlled from Cheapside, half way between Greenfield and E Deerfield to the crossover at Montague, MA. The control machine was a GRS direct wire type and controlled the holding signals at Cheapside, the west end of the yard, the east end of the yard and Montague crossover. Built during the 1920s it is similar in design and style to other surving B&M towers of the era including those in Waltham, Ayer, and Johnsonville. It closed December 9, 1981 when control passed to the dispatcher in North Billerica.

Original creation I did -- made this for the lack of anything else I seem to be able to do right now, I've seemed to have lost my direction...hoping the current can help to get to a better place.

The Mackinac Bridge is currently the fifth longest suspension bridge in the world. In 1998, the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Japan became the longest with a total suspension of 12,826 feet. The Mackinac Bridge is the longest suspension bridge in the western hemisphere. The total length of the Mackinac Bridge is 26,372 feet. The length of the suspension bridge (including anchorages) is 8,614 feet. The length from cable bent pier to cable bent pier is 7,400 feet. Length of main span (between towers) is 3,800 feet.
The width of the roadway is 54 feet. The outside lanes are 12 feet wide (2), the inside lanes are 11 feet wide (2), the center mall is 2 feet wide, and the catwalk, curb and rail width is 3 feet on each side - totaling 54 feet. The stiffening truss width in the suspended span is 68 feet wide making it wider than the roadway it supports.
The height of the roadway at mid-span is approximately 200 feet above water level. The vertical clearance at normal temperature is 155 feet at the center of the main suspension span and 135 feet at the boundaries of the 3,000 ft. navigation channel.
All suspension bridges are designed to move to accommodate wind, change in temperature, and weight. It is possible that the deck at center span could move as much as 35 feet (east or west) due to high winds. This would only happen under severe wind conditions. The deck would not swing or "sway" but rather move slowly in one direction based on the force and direction of the wind. After the wind subsides, the weight of the vehicles crossing would slowly move it back into center position.
The steel superstructure will support one ton per lineal foot per roadway (northbound or southbound). The length of the steel superstructure is 19,243 feet. Each direction will, therefore, support 19,243 tons. The answer is 38,486 tons (2 x 19,243 tons).

The current Cathedral Basilica of St Stanislaus and St Ladislaus of Vilnius (Vilniaus Šv. Stanislovo ir Šv. Vladislovo arkikatedra bazilika) was constructed between 1779 and 1783 in an austere Neoclassical style based on a quadrangular shape. The interior was completed in 1801. The main façade is dominated by the six massive Doric columns and is adorned with sculptures of the Four Evangelists by Italian sculptor Tommaso Righi, flanked by statues of Abraham and Moses.
The Belfry next to the cathedral was originally constructed as part of the defensive wall of the city in the 13th century. In the 16th century the defensive tower became the belfry of the Cathedral. It acquired its present appearance in the beginning of the 19th century. The height of the belfry is 52 meters.

Dodd Hall is a historic structure on the campus of The Florida State University in Tallahassee, in the U.S. state of Florida. The building currently houses the Department of Religion offices for Florida State University. The building is also home to the Heritage Museum and an ornate exemplification of Collegiate Gothic architecture.
This building was constructed in the Collegiate Gothic style of architecture and was built in 1923 to serve as the library for the Florida State College for Women. A smaller west wing was constructed in 1925, while larger south and east wings were built between 1928 and 1929.
Above the main entrance is the phrase, “The half of knowledge is to know where to find knowledge.” inside the lobby is a painted ceiling and a large mural donated by the Class of 1949, “The University, Sunrise to Sunset” by Artemis Housewright, an FSU alumna. The artwork depicts school history as well as local fauna and flora.
It was FSU's main library until the Strozier Library was constructed in 1956. After the library moved to Strozier, the building was home to the College of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Philosophy and WFSU-TV, which housed its studio there from 1960 until 1982. The building was named in 1961 for William George Dodd, an English professor who accepted a position with the FSCW in 1910 and became Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences until 1944.
The Claude and Mildred Pepper Library opened in 1985 at Dodd Hall. It remained there until the new Pepper Center was dedicated in 1998.
Dodd Hall received a complete renovation in 1991 but retained both exterior and interior architectural integrity as did its' Auditorium, completed in 1993.
The Werkmeister Humanities Reading Room opened in 1991 as a quiet place for student study in Dodd Hall's west wing. It was named for Professor William H. Werkmeister and his wife, Dr. Lucyle T. Werkmeister in the Department of Philosophy. The professor was one of the nation’s foremost authorities in the field of philosophy and authored the book, "History of Philosophical Ideas in America", printed in 1949. Department lectures and symposia were often held in Werkmeister. On October 31, 1997, the Werkmeister Window was unveiled and dedicated. Design was by Professor Emeritus Ivan Johnson, crafted by Bob and JoAnn Bischoff and depicts four well-known FSU buildings. The window took a decade to build and is composed of over 10,000 glass pieces. It stands 22 feet tall, ten feet wide and completed the first phase of renovation.
For the eleventh annual Heritage Day, sixteen stained glass windows were unveiled and dedicated on April 8, 2011, in the Werkmeister. The windows were created by students enrolled in the Master Craftsman Program at FSU over a dozen years with money from private gifts and donations of individuals, classes and other groups. Six different groups of students worked on the windows, guided by Bob and JoAnn Bischoff.
In the years since, the Master Craftsman Studio continues their work creating and installing leaded-glass Commemorative Windows in the Heritage Museum of Dodd Hall.

Currently (July 2023), I'm working in the office mostly two days a week, three days from home.
What I miss from the office is my off-office time. During my work breaks, I go for a walk in the residential neighbourhood around the office.

Today’s picture features the current construction of the Infinity Tower (to the right of the picture), which has been under development (on and off), since 2006
This is located at the beginning, or entrance part of the Dubai Marina complex. The Construction of the 330 metres (1,083 ft) building began in February 2006 and when completed will have 73 stories and be the world's tallest high rise building with a twist of 90°. Each floor is rotated by 1.2° to achieve the full 90° spiral, creating the shape of a helix. The Tower will have residential apartments, conference rooms, tennis courts, pools, gym, nursery and spa. I can only image what it will cost to buy an apartment there!!
The sky is a bit misty/hazy in this picture, as it was a hazy day. For 4 of the 9 days I was there it was quite hazy, which took away the clarity of some of the photographs. I arrived at this part of the complex after the blue hour so had to load up on filters to try and control the excessive spot lights.
another morning of wind gusts and blowing snow and icicles, but also occasional sunshine — the lemon tree is soaking it up, and brave George has gone out to sniff the air (after i cleared the snow accumulation off the porch table for him)
Ethereal Currents
Form dissolves into motion as unseen forces bend and carry color through an intangible space. Cool and dark tones converge in a continuous flow, suggesting energy rather than matter. A quiet tension persists between fluidity and control, where structure emerges only to be reabsorbed into the current.
I've loved it when I've tried it before, but life got in the way with prior attempts and it fell by the wayside.
I did read something else in the interim between the last entry, an insider account of the Mueller investigation. Not special and my life did not change.
UPDATE: I abandoned this; I decided I have too little time left remaining to me to spend on a purposely pointless book. All journey, no destination.
The current site of the Kyoto Imperial Palace dates back to 1331. It burnt down numerous times during ensuing years but most of the present structures date back to 1855. In this photo, we can see a very good example of Heian period style architecture (794-1185). One thing that is very interesting about the Kyoto palace is that the architectural styles of various periods are very well represented.
Last friday I got the chance to shoot the Barbershop Quartet "OC Times". I'm currently post processing the images and hopefully will post the set up on my blog (yes I am still working on that). Until then here is an outtake from the end of the day.
