Far out. I've just noticed that Frank Design Fotos, who I didn't know before, had posted three shots from Dino's in the Greasy Spoon group that were almost identical to mine, his taken with an XA2, mine with an XA3. Must be something they put in the chips that stifles originality. Frank's shots start here.
I do like a travel show and last night we watched one called Nadiya's American Adventure. (Nadiya Hussain won the Great British Bake Off in 2015.) I had to smile when I saw she was wearing the same top as me, and with a little jiggery pokery I managed to arrange for us both to be on the telly at the same time!! (Just don't look too closely!!)
The most telling and interesting Pikture on flickr? (over 1000 and 1 Stories to explore)...
Here is the big Version of the LightPainting, perhaps you like to walk through a pArt of my little Park of "Timemachines"... (If you are interested in some of the Books or Authors let me know and I kan tell you the Backround of them and their Kontent.)
You know, I´m no Bookworm - only my real Life kounts for me, yet I´m interested in this World and the Deeds of our great Heros. Books are an intensive Way to get in Kontakt with them, it´s always an interesting Travel if we choose the most relevant Works of the Worldliterature and read them like the others watch TV: for our Edukation, Pleasure and Fun... ;O)
What you see is a Part of my little private Library with a lot of good and bad Books. I don´t read them all yet, kause I don´t read much at all - but my Kollektion is a lifelong
Projekt and I like to have some unreaded Books at Home if I have the Desire for Mindtravelling....

[The Charakter in the Pikture is the greek Thinker Heraklit taken out of Raphaels Pikture The School of Athens (The Stanze di Raffaello - Italian for "Rooms by Raphael") in the Palace of the Vatican are papal apartments with frescoes painted by the Italian artist Raphael and his workshop. The Rooms were originally intended as a suite of apartments for Pope Julius II. He commissioned the relatively young artist Raffaello Sanzio and his studio in 1508 or 1509 to repaint the existing interiors of the rooms entirely. It was possibly Julius' intent to outshine the apartments of his predecessor (and rival) Pope Alexander VI as the Raphael Rooms are directly above Alexander's Borgia Apartment...

Time for another lesson about Czech mind.
Today is 120. anniversary of birth of Czech writer Karel Čapek. He was one of the most influential Czech writers of the 20th century.
He invented word ROBOT which first appeared in his play R.U.R. (it is not an English word as many people think) The word ROBOT comes from the word robota meaning literally serf labor, and, figuratively, "drudgery" or "hard work".
Lot of his work was translated to many languages. My most favourites are:
# 1922 - The Makropulos Affair (Věc Makropulos) - discussion about human immortality, not really from a science-fiction point of view
# 1922 - The Absolute at Large (Továrna na absolutno) - can be interpreted as vision of consumer society
# 1922 - Krakatit - plot includes prediction of nuclear-weapon-like explosive
# 1936 - War with the Newts (Válka s mloky) - dystopian satire

"Today is the Birthday of Leonardo da Vinci [ leo'nardo da'vint?i ] (* 15 April 1452 in Anchiano with Vinci ; † 2 May 1519 on lock Clos Lucé , Amboise ) was a successful painter, sculptor, architect, musician, Anatom , mechanic, engineer, nature philosopher and discoverer; it is called the Italian universal genius. Its place of birth Vinci was a castellet or a fastened hill village in the Florentiner territory (approx. 30 km west of Florenz ) close Empoli , from which the family of its father derived its name. Shortened one speaks "Leonardo", because Vinci, to German "from Vinci", is not a surname there."

This is also my day 600 as this in my second year!
But to what is important - 18th December 1787 was born a great Czech biologist, anatomist and physiologist Jan Evangelista Purkyně (there is a mistake on the English version in his date of birth, there is 17th but he was born on 18th, but otherwise the informations about him are correct.
He is best known for his 1837 discovery of Purkinje cells, large neurons with many branching dendrites found in the cerebellum. He is also known for his discovery, in 1839 of Purkinje fibres, the fibrous tissue that conducts electrical impulses from the atrioventricular node to all parts of the ventricles of the heart.
Czech nation have many great minds, but not many people knew that they were Czech, so I decided to propagate our heritage through my pictures. I will introduce some of our great minds whos inventions you know, but you don't know the person behind it.

"...my inhibited Friend - let´s find out what we really kan do for peAce, without romantik Illussions. First we should stop our own destruktive Behaviour, the "little Wars" at the Gasstations, Supermarkets, in our Wallets and our Heads. After we bekome konstruktive in everyday Life we have the Authorization and Possibility to challenge the "big Problems" in the World... What did you think?"
Myself I trust in the little Deeds and the Power of the big Number - together a lot kan be done. No Problem with Religions or Ideals, but I don´t need them anymore - it´s only important to have an Ability for any Belief, mine is best subsumed with the Words Nescessity & Kommunikation...
There are untold different Beliefs in the World: God, Gods, Buddha, Ra, Devil, Myths, Tales, Systems, Knowledge, Science, Sun, Nature, Love, Hate, Atheism, History, Money, Property, Entertainment, Future... and many many more. (Worth to explore them all tolernatly!)
The Bond between all Beliefs are we - the Believers.

Guess we have more Benefit from great Persons like Buddha, Plato, Jesus, Mohammed and all the others when we not only see them as "Prophets" but as Thinkers and Workers for Mankind... ?

The Great Mind signs marking the Visiting Lecturers in the University Of Lincoln's Main Administrative Building, which is located alongside Brayford Pool in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
The University of Lincoln welcomes high-profile individuals from all over the world to speak at our prestigious Great Minds public lecture series. Our students, staff and members of the public benefit from guest lectures by Visiting Professors and Lecturers recognised as leaders in their field, some of whom teach on our courses.
The University of Lincoln developed from a number of educational institutions in Hull including the Hull School of Art (1861), the Hull Technical Institute (1893), the Roman Catholic teacher-training Endsleigh College (1905), the Hull Central College of Commerce (1930), and Kingston upon Hull College of Education (1913). These institutions merged in 1976 to form Hull College of Higher Education, with a change of name to Humberside College of Higher Education in 1983 when it absorbed several courses in fishing, food and manufacturing based in Grimsby.
In 1992 it was one of the many institutions in the UK to become full universities as, briefly, the University of Humberside, growing to 13,000 students by 1993.
The cathedral city of Lincoln was without its own university, so the University of Humberside was approached to develop a new campus to the south west of the city centre, overlooking the Brayford Pool. The University was renamed the University of Lincolnshire and Humberside in January 1996, taking in its first 500 Lincoln students in September 1996, intending to grow to about 4,000 Lincoln based students within four years.
Opened by Queen Elizabeth II, the University's main campus in Lincoln was the first new city centre campus to be built in the UK for decades. More than £150 million has been invested in the Brayford Pool campus, transforming a city centre brownfield site, revitalising the area and attracting investment from the retail, leisure and property sectors. Economists estimate that the University has created at least 3,000 new jobs within Lincoln and that it generates more than £250 million every year for the local economy – doubling previous local economic growth rates.
The consolidation involved the University acquiring Leicester-based De Montfort University's schools in Lincolnshire: the Lincoln School of Art and Design in uphill Lincoln, and the Lincolnshire School of Agriculture's sites at Riseholme, Caythorpe and Holbeach. Caythorpe was later closed permanently and its activities moved to Riseholme. Courses held in Grimsby were also moved to Lincoln around this time.
In 2012 all Further Education provision was transferred from Riseholme College to Bishop Burton College. Bishop Burton College are now responsible for the Riseholme College to the north of the city.
Throughout the late-1990s, the University's sites in Hull were considerably scaled down as the focus shifted towards Lincoln. In 2001 this process was taken a step further when the decision was made to move the administrative headquarters and management to Lincoln and to sell the Cottingham Road campus in Hull, the former main campus, to its neighbour, the University of Hull; the site is now the home of the Hull York Medical School. Until 2012 the University maintained a smaller campus, the Derek Crothall Building, in Hull city centre. A smaller campus and student halls on Beverley Road, Hull, were also sold for redevelopment.

In the Backround of this LightPainting you see the Palace of the Republik, who will disappear over the next Months, to release a devoid Place, where once was made History - "Konflation of East and West" - what was also a huge Step of Globalization:
Globalization is a diffikult Theme of today. At the Moment I don´t like the whole Idea, kause it brought us Kompanies with no longer Konnektion to the Kountries and People (to us). They leave if there is no more financial Expansion, kareless about the Region...
In the Foreground you see a Skulpture of:
"Karl Heinrich Marx (May 5, 1818 – March 14, 1883) an immensely influential German philosopher, political economist, and socialist revolutionary. While Marx addressed a wide range of issues, he is most famous for his analysis of history in terms of class struggles, summed up in the opening line of the introduction to the Communist Manifesto: "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles." Marx believed that the downfall of capitalism was inevitable, and that it would then be replaced by communism:
"The development of Modern Industry, therefore, cuts from under its feet the very foundation on which the bourgeoisie produces and appropriates products. What the bourgeoisie therefore produces, above all, are its own grave-diggers. Its fall and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable"....

(In Kontradiktion to the Stereotype Karl Marx is more related with Nietzsche, than with the modern Anarchists or Kommunists!)

"The world population is the total number of humans on Earth at a given time. As of May 2008, the world's population is believed to be just over 6.6 billion. In line with population projections, this figure continues to grow at rates that were unprecedented before the 20th century, although the rate of increase has almost halved since its peak, which was reached in 1963, of 2.2 percent per year.

In 2001 this process was taken a step further when the decision was made to move the administrative headquarters and management to Lincoln and to sell the Cottingham Road campus in Hull, the former main campus, to its neighbour, the University of Hull; the site is now the home of the Hull York Medical School. Until 2012 the University maintained a smaller campus, the Derek Crothall Building, in Hull city centre. A smaller campus and student halls on Beverley Road, Hull, were also sold for redevelopment.

The University Of Lincoln, which is located alongside Brayford Pool in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
The University of Lincoln welcomes high-profile individuals from all over the world to speak at our prestigious Great Minds public lecture series. Our students, staff and members of the public benefit from guest lectures by Visiting Professors and Lecturers recognised as leaders in their field, some of whom teach on our courses.
The University of Lincoln developed from a number of educational institutions in Hull including the Hull School of Art (1861), the Hull Technical Institute (1893), the Roman Catholic teacher-training Endsleigh College (1905), the Hull Central College of Commerce (1930), and Kingston upon Hull College of Education (1913). These institutions merged in 1976 to form Hull College of Higher Education, with a change of name to Humberside College of Higher Education in 1983 when it absorbed several courses in fishing, food and manufacturing based in Grimsby.
In 1992 it was one of the many institutions in the UK to become full universities as, briefly, the University of Humberside, growing to 13,000 students by 1993.
The cathedral city of Lincoln was without its own university, so the University of Humberside was approached to develop a new campus to the south west of the city centre, overlooking the Brayford Pool. The University was renamed the University of Lincolnshire and Humberside in January 1996, taking in its first 500 Lincoln students in September 1996, intending to grow to about 4,000 Lincoln based students within four years.
Opened by Queen Elizabeth II, the University's main campus in Lincoln was the first new city centre campus to be built in the UK for decades. More than £150 million has been invested in the Brayford Pool campus, transforming a city centre brownfield site, revitalising the area and attracting investment from the retail, leisure and property sectors. Economists estimate that the University has created at least 3,000 new jobs within Lincoln and that it generates more than £250 million every year for the local economy – doubling previous local economic growth rates.
The consolidation involved the University acquiring Leicester-based De Montfort University's schools in Lincolnshire: the Lincoln School of Art and Design in uphill Lincoln, and the Lincolnshire School of Agriculture's sites at Riseholme, Caythorpe and Holbeach. Caythorpe was later closed permanently and its activities moved to Riseholme. Courses held in Grimsby were also moved to Lincoln around this time.

"Sokrates (470–399 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher who is widely credited for laying the foundation for Western philosophy.
Said to be an Athenian, he is described as having been condemned to death by an Athenian court that had found him guilty of impiety and of corrupting Athenian youth through his teachings. Those giving the account say he chose to die by drinking hemlock, though he had been given the opportunity to go into exile, as he believed exile would both further dishonor the agreement he had willingly made to abide by the laws of Athens, and that he would fare no better teaching in other cities.
Life:
Most of what is now known about Socrates is derived from information that recurs across various contemporary sources: the dialogues written by Plato, one of Socrates' students; the works of Xenophon, one of his contemporaries; and writings by Aristophanes and Aristotle. Anything Socrates wrote himself has not survived. Additionally, Aristophanes' account of Socrates is in fact a satirical attack on philosophers and does not purport to be a factual account of events in the life of Socrates. Another complication is the Ancient Greek tradition of scholars attributing their own ideas, theories and sometimes even personal traits to their mentors, a tradition Plato appears to have followed. Gabriele Giannantoni, in his monumental 1991 work Socratis et Socraticorum Reliquiae, attempts to compile every scrap of evidence regarding Socrates, including material attributed to Aeschines Socraticus, Antisthenes and a number of others supposed to have known him.
According to accounts from antiquity, Socrates' father was the sculptor Sophroniscus and his mother Phaenarete, a midwife. Socrates married Xanthippe, who bore him three sons – Lamprocles, Sophroniscus and Menexenus – who were all quite young at the time of his death. Traditionally, Xanthippe is thought to have been an ill-tempered scold, mainly due to her characterization by Xenophon.
It is unclear how Socrates earned a living. According to Xenophon's Symposium, Socrates is reported as saying he devotes himself only to what he regards as the most important art or occupation: discussing philosophy. Although he inherited money following his father's death, it is unlikely it was sufficient to keep him for long. Xenophon and Aristophanes respectively portray Socrates as accepting payment for teaching and running a sophist school with Chaerephon, whilst in Plato's Symposium Socrates explicitly denies accepting payment for teaching. It is possible Socrates relied on the generosity of wealthy and powerful friends such as Crito.
Characters such as Alcibiades – the name of one of Socrates' friends – in the dialogues indicate that Socrates served in the Athenian army during the Peloponnesian War. Plato's Symposium indicates that he was also decorated for bravery. In one instance, Socrates is said to have stayed on the battlefield to protect Alcibiades, probably saving his life; he then sought Alcibiades' recognition rather than accepting any of his own. It is also claimed he showed great hardiness during these military campaigns, such as his walking without shoes or coat during winter..."
