Comments (on pictures in the Flickr album Crataegus monogyna): The genus Crataegus presents taxonomic challenges. Plants exhibit significant variation in all their morphological traits. For instance, the growth habit of the species Crataegus monogyna can range from a very low bush (see Figs. 20 – 24) to a few meters high bush or even a small tree. In his time, Carl von Linné recognized nine species within this genus, with three later assigned to different genera. However, at the beginning of the 20th century, the number of described species increased dramatically. In America, over 1,000 and in Europe about 500 different taxa have been published (Ref. 3). In his revision of the genus Crataegus, Christensen (1992) described approximately 60 taxa in the Old World. For a clearer overview, all these taxa are organized into several sections and subsections; however, different authors have approached this categorization in various ways based on their interpretation of the terms species, subspecies, variety, and form. Thus, the situation is completely 'unmanageable' for an amateur botanist.
Nevertheless, all the plants shown here have flowers with a single stigma, suggesting they are likely related to Crataegus monogyna. Additionally, both references, Nikolić (2004) and Milović (2016), report the presence of this species and no others on the islands of Olib and Krk. This gives me a fair degree of confidence that my determination is correct.

In Iceland Christmas is celebrated on the 24th of December. Same as in Germany.
On the morning of that day I went to a Christmas Walk through Reykjavík. Highly recommended. We tasted loads of Icelandic (Christmas) specialities like fermented shark, dried fish, dried seaweed, Christmas Beer, Glög, Laufabrauð, herring in curry sauce, smoked lamb and red wine. We visited several places and learned a bit about the Christmas tradition in Iceland, everybody got a small present and we sang a Christmas song. It was really nice :o)
In the afternoon I went to a photowalk with my nephew who's seven. It was great to spend some time together as I don't see him as often as I'd want to (my sister and her family are living in England).
When we came back from our walk I was greeted with hot tea and Christmas presents :o) That was a big surprise as I wasn't expecting any.
Tomorrow I'll tell you about my evening.
All pictures clickable and some more in the set.
Great day today, went in search of a crashed spitfire, found it! But then found this beautiful Rowan tree. I reckon the nearest tree would have been at least a mile away. It really was welcome too, had my lunch under it, a bit of shade :-)
Went for the long view for a change!
If you look REALLY closely you can just make out the Beacons in the distance!
UNIDAD DE EMERGENCIAS Y CONTRA INCENDIOS DE LA BASE DE HELICÓPTEROS DEL COPERO.
La Unidad de Emergencias y Contra Incendios (U.E.C.I.) de la Base de Helicópteros de El Copero (Sevilla) es un servicio de seguridad esencial que opera bajo el paraguas del Grupo Logístico (GLOG) de las Fuerzas Aeromóviles del Ejército de Tierra (FAMET).
A diferencia de un parque de bomberos municipal, la U.E.C.I. tiene una misión enfocada principalmente en la seguridad aeronáutica y la protección de los bienes militares de alto valor, como son los helicópteros del Batallón de Helicópteros de Maniobra IV (BHELMA IV).
️ Misión y Foco Principal
La misión principal de la U.E.C.I. de El Copero es garantizar la seguridad y la respuesta inmediata ante cualquier tipo de emergencia que pueda comprometer las operaciones de vuelo y el personal de la base.
🚁 Foco en la Seguridad Aeronáutica (RFF)
RFF (Rescue and Fire Fighting): Su rol principal es el de Rescate y Extinción de Incendios en Aeronaves. Tienen que estar preparados para intervenir en segundos ante un accidente, incendio o aterrizaje forzoso de un helicóptero.
Salvaguardar Vidas: La máxima prioridad es la extracción y salvamento de tripulantes y personal en caso de un siniestro de aeronave.
Extinción de Combustibles: Están altamente especializados en el manejo y extinción de incendios de clase B (líquidos inflamables, como el Jet A-1 que usan los helicópteros) utilizando espumas y agentes químicos especializados.
🚨 Emergencias Secundarias
Además de la seguridad aérea, cubren:
Incendios Estructurales: Combate de incendios en hangares, oficinas y barracones de la base.
Asistencia Sanitaria: Proporcionan primeros auxilios y apoyo sanitario en la base, actuando como primera respuesta médica en espera de la llegada de la ambulancia o servicios médicos superiores.
Soporte Logístico: Apoyo en emergencias meteorológicas, control de derrames de sustancias peligrosas y rescates ligeros.
⚙️ Medios y Equipamiento
La eficacia de la U.E.C.I. radica en su personal entrenado y sus vehículos especializados:
Camiones de Bomberos (Iveco-Pegaso 7226 / Iveco 4x4): Como hemos comentado, son las plataformas principales. Son vehículos todoterreno 4x4 con alta capacidad de agua y espuma, esenciales para la extinción rápida en cualquier punto del aeródromo.
Vehículos Ligeros de Primera Intervención (Santana Aníbal / Otros 4x4): Usados para la evaluación rápida, transporte de equipos menores y despliegue del personal de mando.
Equipamiento Personal: Utilizan equipos de protección ignífugos de alta resistencia y Equipos de Respiración Autónoma (ERA) esenciales para penetrar en entornos con humo denso o gases tóxicos, especialmente cerca de fuselajes ardiendo o derrames de combustible.
👤 Personal
El personal de la U.E.C.I. está compuesto por militares del Ejército de Tierra (oficiales, suboficiales y tropa) que han recibido formación específica en seguridad y extinción de incendios, a menudo con cursos especializados en extinción aeronáutica para cumplir con la normativa de seguridad de vuelo.
El servicio se mantiene operativo las 24 horas del día, los 365 días del año, asegurando que la flota de helicópteros de las FAMET pueda operar con el máximo nivel de seguridad en su base.

Comments (pertain to pictures in Flicker album Crataegus monogyna): Genus Crataegus is taxonomically a difficult one. Plants are extremely variable in all their morphological traits. For example, even the habit of the species Crataegus monogyne, can vary from very low bush (see Fig. 20 – 24 taken on island Krk) to few meters high bush or even small tree (other Figs. taken on island Olib). In his time Carl von Linné recognized nine species in this genus. Three of them were later assigned to different genera. But around the beginning of 20th century the number of described species exploded. In America more than 1.000 and in Europe about 500 different taxa were published (Ref. 3). In his revision of genus Crataegus Christensen (1992) described about 60 taxa in the Old World. For a purpose of a better overview, all these taxa are organized in several sections and subsections, but different authors did this on different ways according to their understanding of the terms species, subspecies, variety and form. So, the situation is completely 'unmanageable' for an amateur botanist.
Nevertheless, all plants shown here have flowers with a single stigma, so they must be somewhere close to Crataegus monogyna. Also both references Nikolić (2004) and Milović (2016) state presence of this species and no others for islands Olib and Krk. This make me pretty sure the determination is correct.

Die wichtigsten Forschungsreisen in Afrika bis Mitte 1888. Maßstab = 1 : 40.000000
Deutsches Reich im Maßstab der Hauptkarte.
Forschungsreisen im Osten. Die Inseln.
Von der Ostseite des Kontinents war 1789 Lacerda nach der Residenz des Cazembe gezogen, desgleichen später (1831) Monteiro und Gamitto, während Guillain die Küsten erforschte. Mosambik erforschte Peters. Im J. 1843 bereiste Krapf und seit 1846 J. ^[Johannes] Rebmann die Suaheliküste, und beide Missionäre zogen Erkundigungen über die Schneeberge und Äquatorialseen ein, desgleichen Erhardt. Erst 1856 ff. entdeckten Burton und Speke den Tanganjika und 1860 f. Speke und Grant den Ukerewe, damit war auch das zwei Jahrtausende alte Rätsel des Nils zum Teil gelöst. Die philanthropischen Bestrebungen der Briten, welche in der Gründung der Universitätsmission am Nyassa Ausdruck fanden, waren von keinem Glück begleitet.
Im äquatorialen Osten, wo deutsche Missionäre durch die Entdeckung der Schneeberge vorgearbeitet hatten, wurde durch deutsche Forscher ein weites neues Gebiet der Wissenschaft erschlossen. Baron v. d. Decken drang 1861 und 1862 mit dem englischen Geologen Thornton bis an den Kilima Ndscharo vor, und auf einer zweiten Reise nach diesem Schneeberg gelang es ihm mit O. Kersten aus Altenburg, denselben bis zur Höhe von 4300 m zu ersteigen, nicht aber, das Land der feindseligen Massai zu durchreisen. Eine neue Expedition mit zwei eigens in Europa erbauten Dampfern im Juli 1865 führte v. d. Decken auf dem Dschubb stromaufwärts bis über Bardera; aber das Schiff scheiterte 26. Sept., und v. d. Decken wurde nebst Link ermordet. Seine Begleiter entkamen nur teilweise unter Brenners Leitung. Letzterer ward von der Familie beauftragt, Nachforschungen nach dem Schicksal der Ermordeten anzustellen; er konstatierte deren trauriges Ende und machte gleichzeitig höchst interessante Reisen im Lande der südlichen Galla, während der mit gleichem Auftrag ausgesandte Württemberger Theodor Kinzelbach zu Makdischu im Somalland 1868 dem klimatischen Fieber erlag. 1865-67 verbreiteten in den Gallaländern Krapf, Wakefield und News das Christentum.
Von O. aus trat, um Livingstone aufzusuchen, 1873 V. L. Cameron einen Marsch nach dem Innern des Kontinents an. In Udschidschi angelangt, umsegelte er den Tanganjika und schlug sich hierauf über Nyangwe an das rechte Ufer des Lualaba durch Urua, an den Kassali- oder Kilandschasee und von diesem quer durch den Kontinent bis nach Angola durch. Noch großartiger war die zweite Reise des oben genannten Henry Stanley. Im November 1874 trat er von Sansibar aus den Marsch nach dem Ukerewe an, den er umfuhr, zog von hier durch Uganda zum Mwutan (Albert Nyanza), entdeckte, gegen SW. sich wendend, den Akanyaru oder Alexandrasee und erreichte, noch weiter gegen S. ziehend, den Tanganjika, den er gleichfalls befuhr und erforschte. Nachdem er Udschidschi verlassen und durch Manjuema an den Lualaba gelangt war, machte er die epochemachende Fahrt diesen Strom abwärts, der sich als mit dem Congo identisch erwies, dessen Mittellauf und bis über den Äquator nach N. reichende bogenförmige Windung Stanley daher entdeckt hat.
Von besonderer Wichtigkeit waren in der Folgezeit die von der Ostküste Afrikas nach dem Innern unternommenen Reisen von Price, die Erforschung der Landschaften am nördlichen Nyassa durch Elton und Cotterill (1877), Youngs Beschiffung dieses Sees, die Thätigkeit der Missionäre in der Station Livingstonia am Nyassa, die aufopferungsvolle und an Leiden reiche, jedoch kurze Wirksamkeit der Glaubensboten in Uganda und am Ukerewe, Wilson, O'Neill, Clarke, Smith, Felkin, Hore (1879-1880), die Reise des Geologen J. ^[Joseph] Thomson an den Nyassa und Tanganjika und die Entdeckung des Hikwasees durch denselben (1878-80), die Thätigkeit Cravens, Hildebrandts, Raffrays, Denhardts und Fischers an der Ostküste, die Reise des unglücklichen Abbé Debaize (1878) und jene K. Johnstons, dessen Nachfolger eben J. ^[Joseph] Thomson wurde, Marnos kurze Rekognoszierungstour u. die Thätigkeit der Sendlinge der Internationalen Afrikanischen Assoziation in Brüssel (Crespel, Cambier, Maes, Wautier, Dutrieux, Popelin, v. d. Heuvel, Carter u. a.), welche durch zahlreiche Todesfälle so häufig gestört wurde. Auch die von der Afrikanischen Gesellschaft in Deutschland begründete Station ward durch Elementarereignisse heimgesucht. Böhm und Reichardt reisten an den Bangweolosee, Kaiser starb.
Den Küstenrand des Somal- und Gallalandes nahm Kapitän Guillain sorgfältig auf (1846-48). Im J. 1853 zog Burton mit Stroyan, Speke und Herne bis Harar; Heuglin erforschte die Landschaft um Massaua, und der Pater Léon des Avanchers zog Erkundigungen über das Innere der Galla- und Somalländer ein (1858). Später (1871) erforschte Kapitän Milles die Gegend um das Kap Gardafui, und 1874 erlag Haggenmacher den Streichen wilder Galla, nachdem er einen Vorstoß bis zur Landschaft Habar, wo die Somalhochebene beginnt, vom N. her ausgeführt. Von besonderm Erfolg begleitet war in den Grenzländern am Roten Meer die Thätigkeit Munzingers, der im Dienste des Chedive stand und die Ausbreitung der ägyptischen Herrschaft am Westufer des Roten Meers beförderte. Nach der Eroberung von Harar durch die Ägypter (1875) wurde auch dieses Gebiet in den nähern Bereich der Forschung gezogen und wiederholt besucht, zuletzt (1882) von Baron John Müller und Sacconi; Giulietti war daselbst 1880 ermordet worden. Révoil forschte 1877-78 an mehreren Punkten der Nord- und Ostküste des Somallandes, ebenso 1875 Hildebrandt. Seitdem sich die Franzosen in Obok, die Italiener in der Assabbai festgesetzt, wird der Verkehr mit Schoa durch das Thal des Hawasch etwas lebhafter. Italienische Reisende (Antinori, Cecchi, Martini, Chiarini, Graf Antonelli 1880-82) ließen sich die Erforschung dieser Gegend angelegen sein, und in neuester Zeit hat die italienische Regierung eine eigne Expedition nach Schoa beordert, von wo aus kurz vorher (1882) der Franzose Soleillet nach den südlichen Grenzländern Abessiniens, Kaffa und Enarea, abgegangen war. Dieser Reisende trägt sich sogar mit dem Gedanken der Anlage einer Eisenbahn von der Tadschurrabai nach Schoa.
Abessinien ward ein von Reisenden gern und oft besuchtes Gebiet und zählt mit Recht zu den bekanntesten Territorien Afrikas. 1805-10 bereiste es H. Salt, 1821-25 die Deutschen Hemprich und Ehrenberg, 1832-33 Ed. Rüppell, 1834-1843 Isenberg, Krapf und andre Missionäre; 1837 ließ sich im Lande der Naturforscher Schimper nieder, 1838-48 erforschten das Land die Brüder d'Abbadie, 1839, 1842-44 Rochet d'Héricourt, 1840-42 Ferret und Gallinier, van Beke, 1841 Harris, zu Beginn der 40er Jahre Parkyns, Trémeaux, 1851 Sapeto, 1852-53 Th. v. Heuglin, 1854-61 W. Munzinger, 1860 bis 1863 Heuglin, Steudner und Kinzelbach. 1861-62 bereiste S. Baker die Landschaften am Atbara. Der englische Feldzug gegen Kaiser Theodor (1867-68), an dem auch Rohlfs teilnahm, rief viele Publikationen über das Land ins Leben. In den 70er Jahren forschten in dieser afrikanischen Schweiz Antinori, Piaggia, Raffray, Mitchell, Reinisch, und in jüngster Zeit durchzogen das Land (1881) Rohlfs und Stecker.
Von den Inseln wurden besonders die westlichen viel und genau untersucht. Bory de Saint-Vincent, Dupetit-Thouars, Leopold v. Buch, Barker, Webb und Berthelot, Fritsch, Hartung, Löher, welche A. v. Humboldt folgten, verdanken wir eine Reihe namhafter Werke über die Kanarischen Inseln. Madeiras mildes Klima hat mehrere Monographien englischer und deutscher Ärzte, die ihre Kranken dahin senden, veranlaßt; dem deutschen Botaniker Schacht verdankt man eine Skizze der dortigen Naturverhältnisse, Mason, Eckersberg, Schacht, Hochstetter, Smyth u. a. eine weitere Reihe guter Publikationen. Auch Madagaskar, das sich lange europäischem Einfluß zu entziehen wußte, ist uns, namentlich seit bei dem herrschenden Volk der Howa das Christentum zur Geltung gelangte, neuerdings mehr und mehr bekannt geworden. Leguével de Lacombe, Charnay, Barbié du Bocage, unsre Landsmännin Ida Pfeiffer und vor allen der englische Missionär W. Ellis, neuerdings aber in großartiger Weise Alfred Grandidier haben viel für die Erforschung dieser "Perle des Indischen Ozeans" gethan. Andre Forscher, die diese Insel bereisten, sind: Dupré, Lacaille, Sachot, M'Leod, Pollen, Lacaze, Sibree, Mullens, Laillet, Bordier, Hildebrandt, Audebert u. a. Die Maskarenen weisen gleichfalls eine ganze Litteratur auf; die neuern Werke über dieselben stammen von Flemyng, Roussin, Drasche, Pajot u. a. m. Die Kapverdischen Inseln erforschte in neuester Zeit geologisch Dölter. -
Der vereinten Anstrengung der wissenschaftlichen Welt, welche namentlich in dem Bestreben der Brüsseler Internationalen Afrikanischen Association ihren Ausdruck findet, wird es wohl nach und nach gelingen, die ungeheuern entweder noch gar nicht oder doch nur sehr mangelhaft erforschten Territorien Afrikas zu erforschen und der Kultur zu gewinnen.

Picture file names: from Crataegus-monogyna_raw_40 to Crataegus-monogyna_raw_42.
Habitat: bushes along the path; flat, skeletal, calcareous ground; partly sunny and dry area; average precipitation of about 950 mm/year, average temperature between 13-15 °C, and elevations of 13 m (43 feet), in the Sub-Mediterranean phytogeographical region.
Substratum: soil.
Place: Croatia, Zadar region, Zadar archipelago, island of Olib, next to the path from the village of Olib to the St. Nikola church, approximately 50 meters from the church.
Comments (on pictures in the Flickr album Crataegus monogyna): The genus Crataegus presents taxonomic challenges. Plants exhibit significant variation in all their morphological traits. For instance, the growth habit of the species Crataegus monogyna can range from a very low bush (see Figs. 20 – 24) to a few meters high bush or even a small tree. In his time, Carl von Linné recognized nine species within this genus, with three later assigned to different genera. However, at the beginning of the 20th century, the number of described species increased dramatically. In America, over 1,000 and in Europe about 500 different taxa have been published (Ref. 3). In his revision of the genus Crataegus, Christensen (1992) described approximately 60 taxa in the Old World. For a clearer overview, all these taxa are organized into several sections and subsections; however, different authors have approached this categorization in various ways based on their interpretation of the terms species, subspecies, variety, and form. Thus, the situation is completely 'unmanageable' for an amateur botanist.
Nevertheless, all the plants shown here have flowers with a single stigma, suggesting they are likely related to Crataegus monogyna. Additionally, both references, Nikolić (2004) and Milović (2016), report the presence of this species and no others on the islands of Olib and Krk. This gives me a fair degree of confidence that my determination is correct.

Garza blanca
La garceta grande o garza blanca (Ardea alba) es una especie de ave pelecaniforme de la familia Ardeidae. Es una de las garzas más ampliamente distribuidas por el mundo, ya que ocupa todos los continentes salvo la Antártida. Es un ave acuática de plumaje blanco, grande y esbelta, que puede alcanzar el metro de altura. Vuela con su largo cuello retraído, pero suele caminar con él estirado
Descripción
La garza blanca es un ave grande de plumaje blanco que puede alcanzar el metro de altura. Su longitud de pico a cola oscila entre los 80 y 104 cm, con una envergadura alar de entre 131 y 170 cm.56 Su peso oscila entre los 700 y 1500 g, siendo su media alrededor de un kilogramo.7 Es solo ligeramente menor que la garza real o la garza azulada. En su plumaje reproductivo presenta en la espalda largas y finas plumas ornamentales que suelen erizar. Machos y hembras son idénticos en apariencia, y los juveniles se pareccen a los adultos en plumaje no reproductivo.
Suele volar lentamente con el cuello retraído. Esto es característico de todas las garzas, a diferencia de las cigüeñas, grullas, ibis y espátulas, que mantienen el cuello extendendido al volar. En cambio, la garceta grande suele caminar con el cuello estirado. Normalmente suele ser un ave silenciosa, pero emite graznidos estridentes cuando es molestada, e igualmente cuando se encuentra en sus colonias de cría .
Además de por su tamaño, la garceta grande puede diferenciarse de otras garcetas blancas por su pico amarillo y por sus patas negras con dedos negros, aunque su pico puede oscurecerse y la parte inferior de las patas suele aclararse durante la época de cría. Además se diferencia de la garceta intermedia porque su carúncula loral amarilla se extiende un poco más atrás del ojo, mientras que en la garceta intermedia acaba justo en el ojo.
Taxonomía
La garceta grande se clasifica en el género Ardea, perteneciente a la familia de las garzas, Ardeidae. Las garzas a su vez se clasifican en el orden Pelecaniformes, junto a otras cuatro familias de aves acuáticas: Pelecanidae (pelícanos), Threskiornithidae (ibis y espátulas), Balaenicipitidae (picozapato) y Scopidae (ave martillo).
La garceta grande fue descrita científicamente por Carlos Linneo, en 1758, en la décima edición de su obra Systema naturae, con el mismo nombre que en la actualidad, Ardea alba,10 que significa literalmente «garza blanca».11 Posteriormente fue trasladada con otras garcetas al género Egretta, creado por el naturalista inglés Thomas Ignatius Maris Forster, en 1817. En 1842 Constantin Wilhelm Lambert Gloger propuso un género propio, Casmerodius, para ubicar a la garceta grande en vista de sus diferencias anatómicas y de tamaño respecto a los demás miembros del género Egretta. Finalmente, los análisis genéticos la devolvieron al género Ardea, donde Linneo la había clasificado originalmente.
Se reconocen cuatro subespecies de garza blanca:
•Ardea alba alba - la subespecie nominal, que se encuentra en Europa, Asia occidental y el norte de África;
•Ardea alba melanorhynchos - presente en el África subsahariana;
•Ardea alba egretta - se extiende por América, desde Canadá hasta Chile;
•Ardea alba modesta - se encuentra en Asia oriental y Australasia (anteriormente clasificada por algunos autores como una especie separada).

Comments (pertain to pictures in Flicker album Crataegus monogyna): Genus Crataegus is taxonomically a difficult one. Plants are extremely variable in all their morphological traits. For example, even the habit of the species Crataegus monogyne, can vary from very low bush (see Fig. 20 – 24 taken on island Krk) to few meters high bush or even small tree (other Figs. taken on island Olib). In his time Carl von Linné recognized nine species in this genus. Three of them were later assigned to different genera. But around the beginning of 20th century the number of described species exploded. In America more than 1.000 and in Europe about 500 different taxa were published (Ref. 3). In his revision of genus Crataegus Christensen (1992) described about 60 taxa in the Old World. For a purpose of a better overview, all these taxa are organized in several sections and subsections, but different authors did this on different ways according to their understanding of the terms species, subspecies, variety and form. So, the situation is completely 'unmanageable' for an amateur botanist.
Nevertheless, all plants shown here have flowers with a single stigma, so they must be somewhere close to Crataegus monogyna. Also both references Nikolić (2004) and Milović (2016) state presence of this species and no others for islands Olib and Krk. This make me pretty sure the determination is correct.

Absolute Respect to the crews who man lifeboats, like all the emergency services they put their lives at risk when required , as you can see from the crew in this photo , all young people with their lives in front of them , maybe some are mothers and fathers yet ready to attend when that distress signal is activated, hero's each of them .
Aberdeen currently has two Lifeboats on Station, the all weather lifeboat is the Severn Class RNLB Bon Accord and the inshore lifeboat is the D Class RNLB Margaret II.
RNLB Bon Accord was introduced to Aberdeen as the city’s new lifeboat in July 2000, taking over from RNLB Mickie Salvesen, the 52ft Arun Class Lifeboat, formerly of Kirkwall.
Her £1.8 million cost was met through generous donations and bequests and also from a massive fund raising campaign, started by the then Lord Provost of Aberdeen, Margaret Farqhuar, across the city throughout 1999 – 2000.
RNLB Bon Accord is the third lifeboat to be stationed at Aberdeen, bearing the Bon Accord name.The previous two Bon Accords were built in 1853 and 1875 and stationed at Footdee and the harbour as the Beach and Harbour Lifeboats until 1924.
The name Bon Accord comes from the motto of the City of Aberdeen’s Coat of Arms. The phrase was used in the 14th century as a password by King Robert the Bruce as he and his men laid seige to Aberdeen Castle and killed the English Garrison, retaking Aberdeen for the townspeople.
Aberdeen Lifeboat carries a crew of 6 and, if required, a Doctor. She is moored afloat, as all Severn Class Lifeboats are, and she has a range of 250nm at full speed.
RNLB Bon Accord is powered by two 27 litre twin turbo intercooled Caterpiller 3412 DITA engines which deliver 1250hp each at 2300rpm. She carries 1200 gallons of diesel in her bunkers and burns, at full speed, 2 gallons of diesel per minute.

Hier ist nichts denn finstre Nacht

Blinde Schatten, schwarze Höhlen,

Kaum nicht werden umgebracht.
O, die dreimal armen Seelen,
Die sich also müssen quälen!
2.) Wer ist jener, den du siehst?
Ist's nicht der, der nächtlich sorgend,
Täglich trauernd, allzeit borgend,
Arm bei großem Reichtum ist?
Mich erbarmt der armen Seelen,
Die sich so in ihm muss quälen.
3.) Dieser sucht sein höchstes Gut
In der Kost und braunen Trauben,
Kreucht mitt' Rock' und mit der Schauben, (a)
Tut, was Blut nimmt und den Mut.
Es ist leichte zu gedenken,
Wie die Seele dies muss kränken.
4.) Der, der hier so hoch tritt her,
Der ist's, den die Ehrendünste
Und die leichten Hofegünste
Machen auf den Schein so schwer.
Sollt' es stehn bei seiner Seelen,
Sie würd' ihr ein Bessers wählen. (b)
5.) Eitel ist's und ohne Frucht,
Was ihr Eiteln ohne Früchte
Von früh' an bis unter Lichte

Bis man etwas angewohnet,
Das doch endlich wenig lohnet.
7.) Soll mir denn ein blasses Blatt
So verzaübern Farb' und Sinnen,
Soll ich Schönheit heißen können,

8.) O, ihr Weisen auf den Schein,
Wer bezahlt euch Leib und Leben,

Wenn ihr so wollt weise sein?
Euer Lob werd ich nicht singen, (c)
Niemand kann euch Rettung bringen. (c)
9.) Weisheit ist nicht, wie ihr denkt,
Eine Kunst, die so zu lernen:
Weisheit kommt her aus den Sternen.
Sie ist's, die der Himmel schenkt
Und in solche Seelen senket,
Die sich vor (d) zu ihm gelenket.

Paul Fleming (* 5. Oktober 1609 in Hartenstein, Sachsen; † 2. April 1640 in Hamburg) war ein deutscher Arzt und Schriftsteller. Paul Fleming gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Lyriker des deutschen Barock.
Fleming war der Sohn des Stadtpastors Abraham Fleming von Hartenstein. Von seinem Vater erhielt er den ersten Unterricht. Anschließend besuchte er zunächst die Schule in Mittweida, doch schon im Alter von 14 Jahren wurde er 1623 von Johann Hermann Schein in die Leipziger Thomasschule aufgenommen. 1628 immatrikulierte er sich an der Medizinischen Fakultät der Universität Leipzig und schloss das Studium 1633 mit dem Magistergrad ab. 1629 schloss er mit seinem Studienkameraden Georg Gloger (1603-1631) Bekanntschaft, mit dem er bis zu dessen Tod freundschaftlich verbunden blieb. Gloger wies Fleming auf das Buch von der Deutschen Poeterey von Martin Opitz hin. Opitz wurde zum Leitstern für Fleming.
Auf Einladung von Adam Olearius ging Fleming 1633 nach Holstein, wo Herzog Friedrich von Holstein-Gottorf ihn engagierte, als Hofjunker und Arzt seine Gesandtschaft nach Russland zu begleiten. Anfang August 1634 erreichte die Reisegruppe die russische Hauptstadt Moskau. Ein Teil der Gesandtschaft kehrte im April 1635 nach Gottorp zurück, während Fleming mit dem Rest in Reval verweilte.
Im Oktober des gleichen Jahres reiste Fleming mit der Gesandtschaft des Herzogs von Gottorf nach Persien. Im August 1637 erreichten sie Isfahan und blieben dort bis 1639. Schon auf der Rückreise aus Russland 1635 lernte er in Reval (heute Tallinn) die drei Töchter der Kaufmannsfamilie Niehusen kennen. In seinem Gedicht an Elsabe Niehusen 'Ein getreues Hertze wissen' betonte er den Wert der Treue für die menschliche Selbstbehauptung. 1639 verlobte sich Fleming mit Anna Niehusen, der jüngeren Schwester Elsabes, nachdem Elsabe im Juni 1637 einen anderen geheiratet hatte.
In Verfolgung seiner beruflichen Karriere erwarb Fleming 1640 an der Universität Leiden die medizinische Doktorwürde und beabsichtigte, nach Reval zu gehen, um sich dort als Arzt niederzulassen. Doch unterwegs starb Paul Fleming im Alter von 30 Jahren in Hamburg an einer Lungenentzündung. Er wurde in der Hauptkirche St. Katharinen bestattet, wo sich sein Grabstein bis heute erhalten hat.
David Pohle (1624-1695) vertonte 12 Arien auf Texte aus Flemings 5. Odenbuch.

NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, announced the winners of the 2017 OPTIMUS PRIME Spinoff Promotion and Research Challenge (OPSPARC) on May 5, 2017. With over 800 entries from across the nation between grades 3 and 12, NASA and the public selected winners for three age groups: elementary, middle and high school.
The winners of the 2017 OPSPARC contest met the call to “Be the Spark” behind innovative concepts for new uses of NASA technologies, sharing their spinoff ideas in digital poster boards, called glogs, within a cloud-based, interactive learning and multimedia platform made by Glogster.
