Air pollution is contamination of the indoor or outdoor environment by any chemical, physical or biological agent that modifies the natural characteristics of the atmosphere.
Household combustion devices, motor vehicles, industrial facilities and forest fires are common sources of air pollution. Pollutants of major public health concern include particulate matter, carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Outdoor and indoor air pollution cause respiratory and other diseases and are important sources of morbidity and mortality.
Air quality is closely linked to the earth’s climate and ecosystems globally. Policies to reduce air pollution, therefore, offer a win-win strategy for both climate and health, lowering the burden of disease attributable to air pollution, as well as contributing to the near- and long-term mitigation of climate change.

To the uninformed, this might look like a Southern Ground Hornbill with a few frogs as prey. Well, that might be true, but this is not just another bird with just prey. The Southern Ground Hornbill is endangered, and the prey is food for the nestling! We came across three of them in the wild in the Kruger National Park, scanning the the veld for food, and then noticed that they do not eat the prey themselves. That is when we realised that this was "important freight"! We followed them for maybe 2 kilometres, and then the took off, crossed the road and we noticed them landing in a tree where the offloaded (dropped from above) the food to the mother that was in the nest with the nestling!
"Imagination is more important than knowledge."
~ Albert Einstein
a memory from Sankeien Gardens in Yokohama (Japan)
"The Old Town Hall in Bamberg is one of the most important buildings that characterize the historic city center. It is located between the mountain and island towns in the left arm of the Regnitz. This location…
"...marks the old border between the episcopal mountain town and the bourgeois island town and clearly shows the Bamberg bourgeoisie's striving for power."
The landmark is built into the Regnitz River, with the Upper and Lower Bridges (originally a private bridge) leading away from it. Inside, the Ludwig porcelain collection belonging to the museums of the city of Bamberg is on display, one of the largest of its kind in Europe.
The town hall was first mentioned in 1387 and was rebuilt between 1461 and 1467 so that it took on its current appearance. During this construction phase it was mainly influenced by the Gothic period.
Johann Jakob Michael Küchenl redesigned the town hall between 1744 and 1756 in the Baroque and Rococo styles. Worth mentioning are the facade paintings originally created by Johann Anwander in 1755, which have been restored many times. After there was no longer much of this painting to be seen in the 1950s, the painter Anton Greiner repainted it between 1959 and 1962. Both sides of the building are fully decorated with recreated allegorical scenes and architectural details, the typical illusion painting of this period. Small, actually figurative elements on the eastern side reinforce the spatial impression. If you look closely, you can see a figurative leg of a putti protruding from the mural. This creates the illusion of a multi-perspective figure. The rococo balconies and coat of arms reliefs come from Jos. Bonaventura Mutschele.
The half-timbered house attached to the bridge tower, the Rottmeisterhäuschen, served as accommodation for the leaders of the guards.
The German Red Cross was founded on January 25, 1921 in the Rococo Hall. A memorial plaque in the passage of the old town hall commemorates its founding.
Bamberg (/ˈbæmbɜːrɡ/, US also /ˈbɑːmbɛərk/, German: [ˈbambɛʁk]; East Franconian: Bambärch) is a town in Upper Franconia district in Bavaria, Germany, on the river Regnitz close to its confluence with the river Main. Bamberg had 79,000 inhabitants in 2022. The town dates back to the 9th century, when its name was derived from the nearby Babenberch castle. Cited as one of Germany's most beautiful towns, with medieval streets and buildings, the old town of Bamberg has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993.
From the 10th century onwards, Bamberg became a key link with the Slav peoples, notably those of Poland and Pomerania. It experienced a period of great prosperity from the 12th century onwards, during which time it was briefly the centre of the Holy Roman Empire. Emperor Henry II was buried in the old town, alongside his wife Kunigunde. The town's architecture from this period strongly influenced that in Northern Germany and Hungary. From the middle of the 13th century onwards, the bishops were princes of the Empire and ruled Bamberg, overseeing the construction of monumental buildings. This growth was complemented by the obtaining of large portions of the estates of the Counts of Meran in 1248 and 1260 by the sea, partly through purchase and partly through the appropriation of extinguished fiefs.
Bamberg lost its independence in 1802, following the secularization of church lands, becoming part of Bavaria in 1803. The town was first connected to the German rail system in 1844, which has been an important part of its infrastructure ever since. After a communist uprising took control over Bavaria in the years following World War I, the state government fled to Bamberg and stayed there for almost two years before the Bavarian capital of Munich was retaken by Freikorps units (see Bavarian Soviet Republic). The first republican constitution of Bavaria was passed in Bamberg, becoming known as the Bamberger Verfassung (Bamberg Constitution).
Following the Second World War, Bamberg was an important base for the Bavarian, German, and then American military stationed at Warner Barracks, until closing in 2014.
Upper Franconia (German: Oberfranken) is a Regierungsbezirk (administrative [Regierungs] region [bezirk]) of the state of Bavaria, southern Germany. It forms part of the historically significant region of Franconia, the others being Middle Franconia and Lower Franconia, which are all now part of the German Federal State of Bayern (Bavaria).
With more than 200 independent breweries which brew approximately 1000 different types of beer, Upper Franconia has the world's highest brewery-density per capita. A special Franconian beer route (Fränkische Brauereistraße) runs through many popular breweries.
The administrative region borders on Thuringia (Thüringen) to the north, Lower Franconia (Unterfranken) to the west, Middle Franconia (Mittelfranken) to the south-west, and Upper Palatinate (Oberpfalz) to the south-east, Saxony (Sachsen) to the north-east and the Czech Republic to the east.
After the founding of the Kingdom of Bavaria the state was totally reorganized and, in 1808, divided into 15 administrative government regions (German: Regierungsbezirke (singular Regierungsbezirk)), in Bavaria called Kreise (singular: Kreis). They were created in the fashion of the French departements, quite even in size and population, and named after their main rivers.
In the following years, due to territorial changes (e. g. loss of Tyrol, addition of the Palatinate), the number of Kreise was reduced to 8. One of these was the Mainkreis (Main District). In 1837 king Ludwig I of Bavaria renamed the Kreise after historical territorial names and tribes of the area. This also involved some border changes or territorial swaps. Thus the name Mainkreis changed to Upper Franconia.
Next to the former episcopal residence city of Bamberg, the capital Bayreuth, the former residence city of Coburg and the classicist centre of Hof, as well as the towns of Lichtenfels, Kronach, Gößweinstein and Kulmbach, the Weißenstein Palace, Banz Abbey and the Basilica of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, the scenic attractions of the River Main and the low mountain ranges of the Fichtel Mountains with the town of Wunsiedel and the Franconian Forest belong among the region's major tourist attractions. There are also numerous spas like Bad Rodach, Bad Steben, Bad Staffelstein, Bad Berneck and Bad Alexandersbad." - 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.
Now on Instagram.
I decided to stop making customs because Mr.Super Clear is no longer reliable.
A while ago Mr.Hobby changed the famous MSC from "FLAT" to "MATT" but they didn't only change the labeling, they also changed the formula.
All the dolls I made with the old MSC FLAT remains perfect even after 6 years but the dolls I made with the new MSC MATT starts to crack after a while.
This can take 3 months or a year but the cracks starts to appear. Sometimes they are evident and sometimes you have to watch carefully under a direct light to see them but they are or will be there.
This is happening to a lot of awesome custom artists in the Pullip, Blythe and Bjd communities (and more each day) so I decided to talk to Mr.Hobby about this and they have confirmed to me the obvious: They changed the formula and it can't be used the same as before.
I'm looking for alternatives and making tests to other sealers but this can take a while...
When I find a sealer that works for me I will start making new dolls and remaking the ones that cracked.
If anyone knows about good alternatives to MSC that works and last in plastic I'd appreciate the info.
I'd also like to take the opportunity to ask, especially customizers, that you get in touch with Mr.Hobby (you can change the language from japanese to english in their web and there is a form contact) about this. Personally I think it's a budgetary issue and they won't change it, but if they receive many complaints we may have a chance.
Finally I would like to thank my awesome customers and followers for their encouragement and support, specially now. THANK YOU!

Anuncio Importante
He decidido dejar de hacer customs porque el Mr.Super Clear ya no es fiable.
Hace un tiempo Mr.Hobby cambió el famoso MSC de "FLAT" a "MATT" pero ellos no solo cambiaron el nombre y las etiquetas, también cambiaron la fórmula.
Las muñecas que hice con el antiguo MSC FLAT siguen perfectas incluso después de 6 años, pero las que he hecho con el nuevo MSC MATT empiezan a agrietarse después de un tiempo.
Ésto puede pasar a los 3 meses o incluso después de un año pero las grietas empiezan a aparecer. A veces son muy evidentes y otras veces hay que mirar la muñeca bajo una luz directa para verlas pero ahí están o estarán.
Ésto le esta pasando a muchos customizadores en el mundo Pullip, Blythe y Bjd (y más cada dia) así que me puse en contacto con Mr.Hobby y me han confirmado lo que era obvio: Han cambiado la fórmula y ya no se puede usar como antes.
Estoy buscando alternativas y haciendo pruebas a otros selladores pero ésto puede tomar un tiempo...
Cuando encuentre un sellador que me funcione seguiré haciendo nuevas muñecas y rehaciendo las que se hayan agrietado.
Si alguien conoce buenas alternativas al MSC que funcionen y duren bien en plástico os agradecería mucho la información.
Aprovecho la oportunidad para pedir, especialmente a los customizadores, que os pongáis en contacto con Mr.Hobby (podeis hacerlo desde el formulario de contacto de su web, que también está en inglés). Personalmente creo que es un problema presupuestario y que no lo van a volver a cambiar pero si reciben muchas quejas quizás tengamos una oportunidad.
Finalmente me gustaría agradecer a mis clientes y seguidores todo su ánimo y su apoyo, especialmente ahora. Muchas muchas gracias!
Nosy Be is an island off the northwest coast of Madagascar. Nosy Be is Madagascar's largest and busiest tourist resort. It has an area of 320.02 km2, and its population was 109,465 according to the provisional results of the 2018 Census.
Nosy Be means "big island" in the Malagasy language. The island was called Assada during the early colonial era of the 17th century. Nosy Be has been given several nicknames over the centuries, including "Nosy Manitra" (the scented island).
The first human inhabitants of Nosy Be were small bands of Antankarana and Zafinofotsy, before the Sakalava people migrated there and became the most numerous ethnic group on the island. These people were joined later by some Comorians, Indians or Antandroy. Nosy Be made first major appearance in Madagascar's history when King Radama I announced that he intended to conquer the whole west of Madagascar. That plan was eventually achieved in 1837 when the Sakalava Kingdom of Boina came into the possession of Ranavalona I upon the defeat of Queen Tsiomeko's army.
The French colonized the island from 1840, founding an outpost named Hell-Ville (from French Admiral de Hell). The 1848 abolition of slavery in the French colonies resulted in a revolt against the French by the Sakalava people, who were extensively involved in the slave trade. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the island was governed by the French as an internal protectorate within the colony of Madagascar. The outpost became an important trade harbor in the Mozambique channel. During the nineteenth century, the French settlers developed cash crop agriculture (mainly sugar cane) and recruited indentured laborers from East Africa. Though it was difficult for the French to control the littoral, they founded a plantation colony in Nosy Be, mainly producing sugar and cash crops. The French used both military force and diplomacy to maintain their position in the island, appointing the former ruler of Nosy Be Binao as the gouverneur principal of the island.
During the Russo-Japanese War Nosy Be became a supply station for Russia's Second Pacific Squadron. The main fleet led by Admiral Zinovy Rozhestvensky reached Nosy Be on January 9, 1905, where it met a smaller detachment led by Admiral Dmitry von Fölkersam that had arrived already on December 28, 1904. The fleet stayed for two months for refurbishing and coaling, leaving on March 17 to meet its fate ten weeks later at the Battle of Tsushima.

Music has always been vitally important to me, perhaps because I have been surrounded with it since birth. My parents are both very musical and pour their talent in to their faith, and I've probably had more experience with live music than the average person. But it was all christian, all church, all prayer meetings. Is this something I would change? I don't think so. Sometimes, the music I experienced was transcendent.
There is no replacement for joining your voice with others, as one, entangled together in the beauty, the emotion, the purity of feeling. I don't think I could go back, not in the same way.

I took this photo while visiting Balsareny Castle, like other medieval buildings it was constructed at the top of a hill, and the views from there are excellent.
It was early in the morning, and when I look to the northeast, I saw all the mist rising up from the Llobregat River. At that moment, I totally forgot about the castle and I setup my tripod to capture this amazing sunrise.
In the photo you can see how farms and fields are spread along the landscape, but is important to notice the white building called “La colonia Rabeia”, one of the textile colonies that was constructed on the river at the end of the XVIII century to use the water to produce energy.

Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility is an important maritime location situated on the River Tees in Redcar, North Yorkshire, England. With a rich history dating back several centuries, this facility has played a significant role in the region's maritime activities. In this historical account, we will explore the origins, development, and importance of Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility, providing a comprehensive overview of its evolution over time.
Origins and Early History:
The story of Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility begins in the late 18th century when the River Tees emerged as a vital industrial waterway. The river provided an essential transport link for industries such as coal mining, iron and steel production, and shipbuilding. The natural sheltered area known as Paddy's Hole, located on the southern side of the river's entrance, became a favored spot for local fishermen and boat owners due to its calm waters and proximity to fishing grounds.
During the 19th century, Redcar witnessed significant growth as an important coastal town. The expansion of the local fishing industry prompted the need for a dedicated facility to store and maintain fishing boats. Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility was established in response to this demand. The exact date of its establishment is uncertain, but records suggest it was in operation by the mid-19th century.
Development and Growth:
In its early years, Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility consisted of basic storage facilities and moorings for local fishing vessels. As the fishing industry flourished, the facility underwent several improvements and expansions. By the late 19th century, it had evolved into a well-equipped storage and maintenance facility, accommodating an increasing number of fishing boats.
During this period, the construction of the South Gare breakwater in the late 1860s provided further protection to Paddy's Hole from the turbulent North Sea. This development enhanced the facility's suitability for storing and maintaining boats, attracting more fishermen to utilize its services. The South Gare breakwater also facilitated the growth of other maritime activities, such as pleasure boating and recreational fishing, contributing to the facility's increasing importance.
World Wars and Post-War Era:
The two World Wars had a profound impact on Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility. During World War I, the facility played a crucial role in supporting the war effort. It served as a base for several naval activities, including patrol vessels, mine clearance operations, and the training of naval personnel. Additionally, Paddy's Hole became a temporary home for fishing vessels requisitioned by the government for wartime purposes.
Similarly, during World War II, Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility played a strategic role. The facility served as a base for coastal defense and anti-submarine operations. Its proximity to the North Sea made it an ideal location for monitoring and protecting the coast against potential threats. After the war, the facility reverted to its primary function of serving the local fishing community, contributing to the post-war economic recovery.
Modern Era and Recreational Use:
In the latter half of the 20th century, changes in the fishing industry and the decline of traditional fishing practices led to a shift in the role of Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility. With fewer fishing vessels requiring its services, the facility began to adapt to new market demands. It gradually transformed into a multipurpose facility catering to recreational boating, yachting, and watersports.
To meet the needs of the changing demographic, various amenities were added to the facility. These included boat ramps, mooring pontoons, storage sheds, and maintenance workshops. The facility became a hub for boating enthusiasts, attracting visitors from across the region and beyond.
In recent years, efforts have been made to preserve and enhance the historical significance of Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility. Conservation projects have been undertaken to maintain the original structures, while new developments have focused on creating a more inclusive and accessible space for the community. The facility continues to provide storage, maintenance, and launch services for a diverse range of watercraft, catering to both commercial and recreational users.
Conclusion:
The history of Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility reflects the ever-changing dynamics of maritime activities along the River Tees in Redcar, North Yorkshire, England. From its humble beginnings as a local fishing boat storage facility to its modern-day role as a versatile boating hub, Paddy's Hole has witnessed and adapted to the shifting needs of the community.
Throughout its existence, the facility has played a pivotal role in supporting local industries, providing essential services during times of war, and fostering recreational boating and watersports. Today, Paddy's Hole Boat Storage Facility stands as a testament to the region's maritime heritage, serving as a vibrant center for boating enthusiasts and a reminder of the area's enduring connection to the sea.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Römer (German surname, "Roman") is a medieval building in the Altstadt of Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and one of the city's most important landmarks. The Römer is located opposite the Old St. Nicholas church and has been the city hall (Rathaus) of Frankfurt for over 600 years. The Römer merchant family sold it together with a second building, the Goldener Schwan (Golden Swan), to the city council on March 11, 1405 and it was converted for use as the city hall. The Haus Römer is actually the middle building of a set of three located in the Römerberg plaza.
The Römer is not a museum as it is occasionally used by the city for various purposes, for example as a Standesamt or civil registration office; the wedding rooms are located in the first and second floor of the Haus Löwenstein.
The former old town quarter between the Römer and St. Bartholomew's Cathedral has been redeveloped as the Dom-Römer Quarter until 2018, including several reconstructions of historical buildings that were destroyed during World War II.
The entire three-storey building complex occupies about 10,000 square metres and consists of nine houses, encircling six courtyards. The front, with today's main entrance, faces the Römerberg plaza. Other streets around the Römer are the Limpurgergasse to the south and the Buchgasse and the Berliner Straße to the north. The Braubachstraße divides the south and north wings.
The exterior features of the set of buildings reflect a wide breadth of Frankfurt and Germany's history, even though they were designed at the beginning of the 20th century. The famous three-peaked façade has medieval elements of design. The left-hand corner of the Alt-Limpurg displays the so-called Frankfurtia, the female embodiment of the city. In the middle, the Haus Römer shows the four kaisers of the Holy Roman Empire, two city coats of arms, a clock face, and a placard describing the most important facts about the building. The four kaisers are Frederick Barbarossa (the first king to be elected in Frankfurt), Louis the Bavarian (who gave convention rights to the city and allowed an expansion of the city), Charles IV (who made Frankfurt the location of the Kaiser selection vote), and Maximilian II (the first kaiser to be crowned in Frankfurt cathedral).
Like the neogothic façade, the balcony was added after the rebuilding in 1900, replacing a wooden roof. The balcony was and is used as a public stage for state visits and sporting events - for example, the soccer world champions in the Women's World Cup in 2003 and the runners up in the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
Another approach was chosen for the design of the fronts of the two north-east houses (the Wanebach and the Salzhaus). In contrast to the other houses in the complex, instead of reconstructing the old Wilhelminean front, the architects created a completely new design using a combination of medieval timber framing and modern styles. The mosaics in the timber frames feature the motif of a phoenix, a symbol for modern Frankfurt's new start after the war.

from it all other things, even very elaborate things,
develop.
the captains i like, & the people in general are
those who seem to have found that center; it is
not that they are either "good" or "bad"
it is rather that they are fully alive, full themselves,
& that they, again the "best" of them, seem to
have gone through a baptism (of not just water: of
fire as well) from which there is no turning back.

I have learned over the course of my years working with projects, that the design ever evolves. When you finish something, you realize how it could have been better, more effective, or whatever. Knowing that, with any project that is really important to me, I purposefully take my time, try things, see what works and what doesn't, and then decide on my design. Hopefully this time I have it...
I finished a lifetime dream of collecting the quarters of the National Parks some time ago, but the custom plaque / frame for them has been in the background for a while now. I believe that I have the design I will be happy with, the methods, and now... I can begin (again).

Tenjyuan Garden on southern side of Shoin
Tenjyuan :
Tenjyuan is one of the most historically important temple of the Nanzenji. It was built as a dedication of the founder of the Nanzenji , Daiminkokushi Mukanfumon .
In 1267 the Emperpor Kameyama,enchanted with the natural beauty of the spot,elected a villa on the site where where the Nanzenji Temple now stands. Around 1288 the emperor was vexed by the appearance of a ghost and asked for help from Daiminkokushi ,the third Chief Priest of the Tofukuji Temple.
The priest rid Emperor Kameyama of the gost by merely performing Zazen meditations without reciting a single sutra.
The emperor was deeply moved by this demonstration of the priest's virtue and subsequently became became his disciple,giving himself the name Hoo("Great Priest").He later converted his villa into zen temple and dedicated it to Daiminkokushi.These events took place in Hoo's later years ; the priest died before the coversation of the villa was complete.It was left for a priest named Kiansoen,the successor of Daiminkokushi.to finish the work and inaugurate the zen temple. For this reason little credit for the task is given to Daiminkokushi himself.In 1336 Kokakushiren,the 15th chief priest of Nanzen Ji Temple,asked the retired Emperor Kogon for permission to construct a building commemorating the founding of the temple by Daiminkokushi.Construction on the building was completed in the following year(1337),hence the opening of the Tenjyuan.
Tenjyuan,however ,was destroyed in the Nanzenji conflagration of 1447 .Nor was the temple spared destraction by fire during the Onin War ( 1467-1477). More then 130 years passed before the temple was finally reconstructed.
Many of the temples destroyed by wars were reconstructed in the last quarter of the 16th century,when Japan enjoyed a period of political stability. The priests of Nanzenji agreed that the Tenjyuan be reconstructed by one of the most famous Zen priests of Kyoto,Genporeisan.He appointed Ungakureikei chief priest of the Tenjyuan ,and asked the daimyo Hosokawa Yusei to finance the enterprise.Thanks to generous contribution of Hosokawa,the reconstruction of the Main Hall,the Main Gate,and the old study was completed in August ,1602.These are the Tenjyuan buildings that stand today.
The garden consists of the front ,or eastern,garden of the Main Hall, and the southern garden near the Study.
***The eastern garden is a rock garden. A geometrically designed stone footpath embedded in white sand and moss connects the Main Hall with the Maingate. This footpath was made 1338 after the original construction of the Tenjyuan.
The other ,shorter stone footpath leading to Yusai's mausoleum was made after Yusai's death in1610.***
The layout of the southern garden clearly illustrates the characteristics of late 14th century landscaping.The two central islands in particular epitomize this style. A long penninsula extending from the study and a smaller penninsula extending from the other side meet to form a curling clasp,creating an eastern and western pond.The shorelines of the two ponds so divided are thus varied.
The eastern pond is smaller than the other and has a slopping bank.In addition to this landscaping technique,the arrangement of rocks near the waterfall indicates that the garden was made around the time of the construction of the Tenjyuan in 1337.

throughout my day
I get running
until soon I find
I start fretting
then God tells me
that every day
all that's important
is to TRUST and OBEY
to glorify Him
to hour and do His will
in everything
with Christ
we can do everything
He will see you through
just ask Him
He'll show you.
Historically Yass, an important rural service centre on the Yass River, a tributary of the Murrumbidgee, was a town in the heart of one of the country's prime sheep growing areas. It was noted for its high quality wool and merino studs. Over the past thirty years has become increasingly known for its vineyards and its classy produce. By passed in 1994 it is no longer a stop on the Hume Highway but rather a quiet town with a broad main street, a number of attractive parks, a collection of handsome historic buildings
Comillas was an important whaling town, and even had a building known as "La Casa de la Ballena" where the animal's fat was transformed into oil. The whaling destiny of Comillas was written down, as was that of many ‘watchmen’ or comillan harpooners who acquired such fame during the 17th and 18th centuries.
