Staircase of the Bavarian State Library - built between 1832-1841 - Munich - Germany
Again a moment of perfect light in this splendid library.
Dear friends, I wish you a perfect, happy and healthy new year 2019. May all your wishes be fulfilled!

"Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect."
Chief Seattle
Many years ago I thought nothing of purchasing anything made of plastic. Looking at this image of plastic straws, I am reminded that it is up to each and every one of us to make significant changes to our lives if we care about our Earth and those who will live long after we have left this planet.
In my mind, this image has gone from one of captured beauty to one as a reminder that I need to be aware of my part in protecting Mother Earth.
"Knowledge"
by Jacob Lee
Sit close
Let me tell you every truth I know
I could read you poetry and prose
We could contemplate the syllables
If you so wish for it
If so
Let your consciousness dissolve like snow
Watch the branches replicate your bones
Place the precious palms among your own
Be the water and the boat, and so I stow
Every thought that lies inside of me
Atop the shelves, amidst my library
So when you're older you may visit me
When I'm at peace
Patiently, I reach up above
I can see the ocean as I stare at the stars
I will place my knowledge in your hands
It's okay if you don't understand just yet
Speak slow
Let me ask before I take a note
May I read a couple words you wrote?
Every page you touch, the letters glow
From the ashes do we grow
And I boast
I can comprehend the words you spoke
You're the writer and the quote, and so I hope
Every thought that lies inside of me
Someday finds its way from soul to speech
So I may bestow our legacy
Like you to me
Patiently, I reach up above
I can read the ocean as I write with the stars
I will place your knowledge in my hands
Flick a page until I understand, I do, oh
Like trying to speak while remaining in silence
Like facing your fears without feeling frightened
I'll never know if I'm yet to try it
I'll do my best to stay open-minded
Patiently, I reach up above
I can see the ocean as I stare at the stars
I will place my knowledge in your hands
Flick a page until I understand, I do, oh
Patiently, I reach up above
I can read the ocean as I write with the stars
I will place your knowledge in my hands
Flick a page until understand, I do, oh
yep. you read that right "Pork brains with milk gravy". It's, to my knowledge, the grossest of all canned meats.
Imagination is more important than knowledge because knowledge is limited whereas imagination encompasses the whole world.
As I mentioned a few days ago, I am currently looking into the production of ferric oxalate, not because I am dissatisfied with Bostick&Sullivan's product, but merely out of a thirst for knowledge.
I do not know the recipe of B&S, presumably it is iron(III)-nitrate and oxalic acid.
In my first attempt I followed the recipe of Pizzighelli and Hübl (ferric hydrate and oxalic acid). An interesting alternative, but time-consuming.
In the second attempt, it was iron(III)-nitrate and oxalic acid. The time required is similar, but with fewer steps.
The substance is not clearly defined, which makes it difficult to determine the exact content of oxalate solutions. The prevailing opinion is that the solution for the platinum process should contain 27% iron(III)-oxalate, for the Kallitypy 20%.
For practical purposes, the determination method using the specific gravity is sufficiently accurate, although any free oxalic acid present cannot be determined.
For the Kallitype, a specific gravity of 1.13 results in a solution of about 20%; for the comparison of the mode of action, the three oxalate solutions were brought to exactly this value. The measurement of the pH value showed clear deviations between the (acidic) solutions, which indicates different contents of free oxalic acid.

To obtain comparable densities, different exposure times were necessary.
From left to right:
B&S 3 minutes, P&H 2:30 minutes, Ox (iron nitrate) 2:15 minutes.
Wie schon vor einigen Tagen erwähnt, beschäftige ich mich momentan mit der Herstellung von Eisen(III)-Oxalat, nicht weil ich mit dem Produkt von Bostick&Sullivan unzufrieden wäre, sondern lediglich aus Wissensdrang.
Die Rezeptur von B&S ist mir nicht bekannt, vermutlich handelt es sich um Eisen(III)-Nitrat und Oxalsäure.
Bei meinem ersten Versuch bin ich nach der Rezeptur von Pizzighelli und Hübl (Eisen(III)-Hydrat und Oxalsäure) vorgegangen. Eine interessante Alternative, doch der Zeitaufwand ist hoch.
Beim zweiten Versuch waren es Eisen(III)-Nitrat und Oxalsäure. Der zeitliche Aufwand ist ähnlich hoch, allerdings bei weniger Arbeitsschritten.
Die Substanz ist nicht klar definiert, was es schwierig macht, den exakten Gehalt von Oxalat-Lösungen zu bestimmen. Nach vorherrschender Auffassung sollte die Lösung für den Platinprozeß 27% Eisen(III)-Oxalat enthalten, für die Kallitypie 20%.
Für die Praxis ist die Bestimmungsmethode über das spezifische Gewicht hinreichend genau, wobei allerdings ein eventuell vorhandener Anteil an freier Oxalsäure nicht festgestellt werden kann.
Für die Kallitype ergibt sich bei einem spezifischen Gewicht von 1.13 eine etwa 20% Lösung, für den Vergleich der Wirkungsweise wurden die drei Oxalatlösungen auf exakt diesen Wert gebracht. Die Messung des pH-Wertes zeigte deutliche Abweichungen zwischen den (sauren) Lösungen, was auf unterschiedlichen Gehalt an freier Oxalsäure hindeutet.

"Tugs have been towing aggregate-laden barges out of British Columbia’s Pitt River and on down the Fraser River since the days of wooden scows and steam-powered tugs. Since the earliest days the boats have had to contend with the railway bridge about three miles upstream from the Pitt’s confluence with the Fraser River. Over the generations, skippers have learned a lot about the tides and river currents that challenged the old steam power and continue to challenge the modern diesel-powered tugs. This is not stuff that is taught in maritime training schools. It is knowledge that is learned by making the run with an experienced captain and finally by new captains feeling their way into the job."
The tree of knowledge, connecting to heaven and the underworld, and the tree of life, connecting all forms of creation,
are both forms of the world tree or cosmic tree,
and are portrayed in various religions and philosophies as the same tree
A duo tone take on the Sir Duncan Rice Library in Aberdeen City. Looking down from the 7th floor through the central atrium to ground level. This stunning architecture was designed by Danish Architects.

The road that leads to knowledge is a road that passes through good meetings.

This photo was taken in a temple called Mwegyi Hnakaung meaning "two great snakes." It is one of the temples on the Mandalay Hill located just to the north of Shwenandaw Kyaung.
Worship of snake is common in Asian countries. The snake is associated with the dragon, and the dragon symbolises the river and water that are crucial to rice cultivation.
In spite of that knowledge, the two lifelike cobras here looked horrifying.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

The haze of the mundane slowly settles in as two individuals spend evening after evening and night after night in each other’s company, without incident and without respite. As the heat from the television set across the living room floor has charred the wallpaper and the springs on the his and hers armchairs have molded to match their respective owners’ physicality, so too have the two individuals marked, dented and diluted each other. The distinctiveness of each individual dissipates until slowly their skin matches the upholstery, which matches the wall, and their verbal and facial expressions mirror each other. The question of love has faded, replaced by a more comfortable knowledge and acceptance. There is little protest; only happy resignation in the knowledge that these two, they’re two of a kind.
For those who think this doesn’t apply, a point must be made: it wasn’t always this way…

KNOWLEDGE is the topic for Wed Jan 13 2021 Group Our Daily Challenge.
This guy was clever enough to grab the nuts that park visitors were feeding squirrels with, before a squirrel could spot them, which is a sign of knowledge.
Wikipedia says:
Ravens and crows are among the most intelligent birds. For example, they show in experiments the ability to plan complex actions. When hiding food, they show both great memory skills and the ability to empathize with others. A raven seems to know that a food hiding place is only safe if it is not observed while hiding. In addition, ravens show an amazing learning behavior (making tools, using road traffic to crack nuts and fruits....

Real knowledge, or what is better called wisdom, is not a triumph over mystery but a rapport with the mystery—and with the meaning for which it stands.

Dante had become a not unfamiliar figure in Verona. Boccaccio tells of several Veronese ladies who saw him walking by one day. They were struck and a little frightened by his appearance, his face fixed in gloom and smudged as though by soot, his beard bristling as though tinged with fire. He seemed, they thought, a character emerging from his own Inferno.
-R. W. B. Lewis, Dante; A Life
It’s important to know who you are. At least until you figure out that who you are has nothing to do with anything you think about that.

Stay Safe and Healthy Everyone!
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
Forboding, expectant? or just a beautiful soul warmed by the light...this is one of those photoshop as therapy things...maybe I should just take it down...? I'm feeling a little intense these days...
knowledge is all around us .. it is our job to make the best out of it whenever possible

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
Lao Tzu
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
Aesop
A warm smile is the universal language of kindness.
William Arthur Ward
Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.
Anon
Together we can change the world, just one random act of kindness at a time.
Ron Hall
With all of the bad things that are happening in the world right now, I think we need a message of togetherness and true unity. I believe that starts with personal reflection and then we can find kindness toward each other. Marielle Heller
I have long believed that there are fundamentally two forces or emotions that drive our decisions - love and fear. Love has its many manifestations: compassion, gratitude, kindness, and joy. Fear often manifests in cynicism, anger, jealousy, and anxiety. I worry that many of our communities are being driven by fear.
Vivek Murthy
Kindness is the sunshine in which virtue grows.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness. George Sand
Illness is the doctor to whom we pay most heed; to kindness, to knowledge, we make promise only; pain we obey.
Marcel Proust
You don't teach morals and ethics and empathy and kindness in the schools. You teach that at home, and children learn by example.

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, and stay safe! ❤️❤️❤️
