Head of Henry the Navigator (acrylic cast taken from his tomb at the Monastery of Batalha, here seen at the Casa do Infante Dom Henrique, Porto). Whether we like it or not, the history of European overseas "discovery", expansion and Christian mission has been one of the major factors shaping the world as we know it. At the beginning of it, that is, in the 15th century, stands the formidable figure of Dom Henrique in Porto. His overseas projects were knowledge-based (navigation, geometry, mathematics, astronomy, cartography) and involved the university. Portugal's colonial empire produced the wealth that led for example to the baroque and gold-plated makeover of Porto's churches. Though Brazil got its independence in the 19th century, in other parts of the world Portuguese colonialism lasted up to the 1970s. Those subjected to Portuguese colonialism tend to tell this story in less gentle ways.

This little guy was climbing on the white bricks of our house when I found him - that's mortar in the background.

 

I recognise this as a ground beetle and figured that such a striking colour scheme with the red legs and antennae should be easy to identify.

 

Yeah, that's a big nope on that one for me. I came as far as Possibly something in the Harpalus genus, but not further so I asked aroun in a Swedish beetle group on Facebook and got an an answer from one of the most knowledgable in the country.

 

It turns out this actually is a Harpalus - a male Harpalus affinis to be specific. In Håkan's trained eyes, the clues were the metllic sheen on the elytra coupled with a very fine pitting in between the grooves and the way the elytra is slightly shorter than the actual abdomen. Next level knowledge for sure.

  

There is no common English name for this one but the Swedish one, "kameleontfrölöpare" literally means "chameleon seed runner". The chameleon part comes from the metallic sheen sometimes being much more green and sometimes more red instead. And since only males have the metallic sheen while the females have a dull black colour, we can sex it easily as well.

 

This is a two exposure focus stack, but not compiled using Zerene Stacker. There was too much movement between the shots (legs, antennae and more) so I did it manually using just Photoshop which meant I got both the head and that special end of the elytra/abdomen in focus.

Comment une bibliothèque, un théâtre et d'autres partenaires culturels peuvent-ils cohabiter avec succès sous un même toit ? D'abord en abattant les cloisons...et deuxièmement, en combinant l’architecture de l’espace public avec le design de la programmabilité. Le résultat s’appelle Hub Kerkrade : non seulement un centre de ressources, mais aussi un vivier de connaissances, d’informations, d’éducation et de divertissement.

Kerkrade est une ville située dans la province la plus méridionale des Pays-Bas, à proximité de l'Allemagne. Le Hub Kerkrade, situé dans un ancien centre commercial, dispose d'une surface de pas moins de 5 000 m2, qui abrite le théâtre, la bibliothèque, divers partenaires culturels et l'école de musique de Kerkrade située à proximité. Cet emplacement fait partie du centre-ville revitalisé. Le design du Hub est une nouvelle co-création du guide créatif international et architecte Aat Vos (concept de design, stratégie, direction créative) en collaboration avec Mars Interior Designers (design, ingénierie).

A l'origine, la bibliothèque occupait la moitié de la surface du bâtiment et était séparée du théâtre par un mur. La suppression des cloisons a permis de créer plus d'espace, de lumière et une nouvelle idée pour le foyer. Cet espace pratiquement toujours vide s'est transformé en un espace de vie partagé multifonctionnel où l'on peut travailler, étudier ou se rencontrer. Le point de mire de cet espace se trouve dans le foyer : l'escalier du théâtre est équipé d'une belle rampe et d'un tapis rose rougeâtre, recouvert des deux côtés d'acier bleu. Le bar du foyer a été réalisé en cuivre et est désormais posé sur un fond de briques brutes, associé à un écran LED et à un caisson lumineux. Le « break drinks cabinet » vole la vedette, tant par sa taille que par l'éclairage changeant de couleur.

 

How can a library, a theatre and other cultural partners successfully coexist under one roof? Firstly by breaking down the walls...and secondly, by combining the architecture of public space with the design of programmability. The result is called Hub Kerkrade: not only a resource centre, but also a hotbed of knowledge, information, education and entertainment.

Kerkrade is a city in the southernmost province of the Netherlands, close to Germany. Hub Kerkrade, located in a former shopping centre, has a surface area of ​​no less than 5,000 m2, which houses the theatre, the library, various cultural partners and the nearby Kerkrade Music School. This location is part of the revitalised city centre. The design of the Hub is a new co-creation of international creative guide and architect Aat Vos (design concept, strategy, creative direction) in collaboration with Mars Interior Designers (design, engineering).

Originally, the library occupied half of the building's surface and was separated from the theatre by a wall. The removal of the partitions created more space, light and a new idea for the foyer. This almost always empty space has been transformed into a multifunctional shared living space where people can work, study or meet. The focal point of this space is in the foyer: the theatre staircase is equipped with a beautiful banister and a reddish-pink carpet, covered on both sides with blue steel. The foyer bar was made of copper and is now set against a background of raw bricks, combined with an LED screen and a light box. The "break drinks cabinet" steals the show, both in terms of its size and the colour-changing lighting.

Much Better On Black

The Macoupin County Courthouse was designed by the prolific architect Elijah E. Myers (1832-1909) whose work includes three state capitols (Michigan, Texas, and Colorado), along with courthouses and other public buildings in the United States and internationally. The McDonough County Courthouse, featured last fall in my series on Macomb, Illinois, was also designed by Myers.

 

After serving in the military during the Civil War, Myers settled briefly in Springfield, Illinois, and it was there that he obtained the Macoupin County courthouse commission. Myers must have put every ounce of his architectural knowledge into the Macoupin County design, whose grand size and elaborate ornamentation seems more suited to a state house than a rural courthouse. The Beaux-Arts building was under construction from 1867-70.

 

Beyond the beauty of this courthouse is an interesting backstory about how this building came to be known as the "Million Dollar Courthouse." The following description is borrowed from the Macoupin County website (macoupincountyil.gov/)

 

Macoupin County’s “Million Dollar Courthouse” received its nickname because when construction was halted in 1870 – that was halted, not completed – it cost $1.3 million. That would be $23.5 million dollars in today’s money. At the time, it was the biggest instance of overspending in Illinois history.

 

There were accusations by county residents regarding misappropriations of funds during the construction of the courthouse. One of the commissioners, Judge Loomis was accused of using stone from the courthouse to build a grand hotel, the Loomis House, on the square. Judge Loomis stated he purchased the stone but never produced a bill of sales. Another commissioner, County Clerk George Holliday, was seen leaving town by train in the middle of the night carrying a carpet bag. Public opinion was that the bag was filled with some of the money raised for construction of the courthouse. Holliday was never seen again and it is still a mystery as to where he went.

 

When the courthouse was opened in 1870, it was the largest courthouse in the country with the possible exception of one in New York City. The doors, staircases, windows sills and sashes are all made of cast iron, making the courthouse the first fireproof building in the country.

 

It took the citizens of Macoupin County 40 years to pay off the debt. Many lost their homes and farms because of the taxes. There was a two day jubilee to celebrate the burning of the last bond in 1910.

 

The “Million Dollar Courthouse” is one of few courthouses of its age that is not a museum, white elephant, or has been demolished. It is still a working courthouse which is open for business 5 days a week.

 

It stands as an awe inspiring example of what men did with their hands and simple tools a century and a half ago. Over the years, the “Million Dollar Courthouse” has become a showplace that attracts tourists, architects and artist from around the world.

 

The Macoupin County Courthouse is the focal point of the Carlinville Historic District, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. At the 2020 census, the population of Carlinville was 5,710. efault

19 August 1839 was when Louis Daguerre made the “Daguerreotype."

 

The announcement that the Daguerreotype "requires no knowledge of drawing...." and that " anyone may succeed...and perform as well as the author of the invention" was greeted with enormous interest, and "Daguerreomania" became a craze overnight.

„Umfrage in mehreren Staaten - Junge Menschen wissen wenig über den Holocaust

 

Was ist der Holocaust? Wie viele Jüdinnen und Juden wurden durch das NS-Regime ermordet? Vor allem junge Menschen in den USA und mehreren EU-Ländern zeigen sich einer Studie zufolge bei diesen Fragen deutliche Wissenslücken.

Etwa sechs Millionen Jüdinnen und Juden wurden vom nationalsozialistischen Deutschland systematisch verfolgt und ermordet. Doch rund 80 Jahre nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs schwindet das Wissen um den Holocaust und die Schoah zusehends - vor allem bei der jüngeren Generation. Zu diesem Schluss kommt eine Umfrage der Jewish Claims Conference.

 

In Frankreich gaben 46 Prozent der Befragten zwischen 18 und 29 Jahren an, noch nie von dem Begriff Schoah gehört zu haben. In Österreich traf das auf 14 Prozent der Altersgruppe zu, in Rumänien

15 Prozent. In Deutschland gab mit zwölf Prozent etwa jede oder jeder Zehnte an, der Begriff Schoah sei unbekannt.

Der Holocaust-Index der Claims Conference

Die Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, kürzer auch Jewish Claims Conference oder Claims Conference genannt, ist ein Zusammenschluss mehrerer jüdischer Organisationen. Sie wurde 1951 gegründet und hat ihren Hauptsitz in New York.

 

Die Mitglieder setzen sich für Entschädigungen für Holocaust-Überlebende in aller Welt ein. Im vergangenen Jahr verteilte sie nach eigenen Angaben mehr als 535 Millionen US-Dollar an Entschädigungen an mehr als 200.000 Überlebende in 83 Ländern.

 

Für die aktuelle Umfrage zum Wissen über Holocaust und Schoah führte die Organisation eine repräsentative Umfrage in acht Ländern durch. Dabei wurden zwischen dem 15. und 28. November 2024 in jedem Land etwa 1.000 Menschen befragt. Zu den untersuchten Ländern gehören die Vereinigten Staaten, das Vereinigte Königreich, Frankreich, Österreich, Deutschland, Polen, Ungarn und Rumänien.

 

Zahl der ermordeten Juden massiv unterschätzt

 

In der gleichen Altersgruppe gaben bei der Befragung in Deutschland etwa 40 Prozent an, nicht gewusst zu haben, dass etwa sechs Millionen Jüdinnen und Juden in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus ermordet wurden. 15 Prozent glaubten, es seien weniger als zwei Millionen gewesen. Zwei Prozent aller in der Bundesrepublik befragten Bürgerinnen und Bürger waren der Auffassung, der Holocaust habe überhaupt nicht stattgefunden.

 

Insgesamt glaubten in sieben der acht untersuchten Länder mindestens 20 Prozent der Befragten, dass zwei Millionen oder weniger Jüdinnen und Juden während des Holocaust ermordet wurden. In Rumänien waren es 28 Prozent, nahezu ebenso viele mit 27 Prozent in Ungarn und in Polen gaben das 24 Prozent der Teilnehmenden der Umfrage an.

 

In fast allen Ländern, in denen die Umfrage im vergangenen November durchgeführt worden war, herrschte bei der Hälfte oder einer Mehrheit der Befragten die Sorge, dass sich etwas wie der Holocaust wiederholen könnte. Vor allem in den USA äußerte eine Mehrheit von 76 Prozent diese Angst. In Großbritannien waren es 69 Prozent, in Frankreich 63 Prozent und in Österreich 62. In Deutschland gaben 61 Prozent der Teilnehmenden an, dass bei ihnen diese Sorge bestehe.

 

Zentralrat der Juden alarmiert über Unwissenheit

 

Der Zentralrat der Juden in Deutschland zeigte sich alarmiert über die Ergebnisse der Umfrage. "Der besorgniserregende Anstieg antisemitischer verbaler und körperlicher Gewalt, den wir in Deutschland beobachten, hat seine Wurzeln zu einem großen Teil in der Desinformation und dem Mangel an Informationen über den Holocaust", sagte Zentralratspräsident Josef Schuster. Die Studie zeige die Dimension des fehlenden Wissens, insbesondere mit Blick auf junge Erwachsene. Politik, Bildung und Medien müssten gemeinsam gegensteuern.

 

In Deutschland planen mehrere Gedenkstätten anlässlich des 80. Jahrestages der Befreiung des Konzentrationslagers Auschwitz am 27. Januar besondere Veranstaltungen. Im vergangenen Jahr hatten viele der Gedenkstätten eine anhaltend hohe Zahl an Besucherinnen und Besucher verzeichnet, wie eine Umfrage der Nachrichtenagentur epd ergab. Das gilt etwa für die KZ-Gedenkstätte Sachsenhausen in Brandenburg, die 2024 fast eine halbe Million Besucher und Besucherinnen zählte. Auch die KZ-Gedenkstätte Dachau in Bayern, die mehr als 900.000 Menschen besuchten, sprach von einem "stetig steigenden Interesse".

 

Das Berliner Dokumentationszentrum "Topographie des Terrors" verzeichnete 2024 hingegen einen Besucherrückgang um knapp 21 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahr. Das Zentrum war mit knapp 1,63 Millionen Gästen im vergangenen Jahr aber der am meisten besuchte Ort des Gedenkens und der Information über das Nazi-Regime.

 

Kaum noch lebende Zeitzeugen

 

Das Bemühen, über die Zeit des Nationalsozialismus und den Holocaust zu informieren, wird durch die schwindende Zahl der Zeitzeugen erschwert. Schätzungen der Claims Conference leben heute weltweit noch etwa 245.000 jüdische Holocaust-Überlebende in mehr als 90 Ländern. Mit 49 Prozent lebt ein Großteil von ihnen demnach in den USA. Fast alle der Zeitzeugen erlebten die Ereignisse als Kinder.“

"Survey in several countries - young people know little about the Holocaust

 

What is the Holocaust? How many Jews were murdered by the Nazi regime? According to a study, young people in the USA and several EU countries in particular have a clear lack of knowledge about these questions.

Around six million Jews were systematically persecuted and murdered by National Socialist Germany. However, around 80 years after the end of the Second World War, knowledge about the Holocaust and the Shoah is dwindling noticeably - especially among the younger generation. This is the conclusion of a survey conducted by the Jewish Claims Conference.

 

In France, 46 per cent of respondents between the ages of 18 and 29 said they had never heard of the term Shoah. In Austria, this applied to 14 per cent of the age group, in Romania

15 per cent. In Germany, around one in ten (12 per cent) said they had never heard of the term Shoah.

The Holocaust Index of the Claims Conference

The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, also known as the Jewish Claims Conference or Claims Conference for short, is an association of several Jewish organisations. It was founded in 1951 and has its headquarters in New York.

 

Its members campaign for compensation for Holocaust survivors all over the world. Last year, according to the organisation, it distributed more than USD 535 million in compensation to more than 200,000 survivors in 83 countries.

 

For the current survey on knowledge about the Holocaust and Shoah, the organisation conducted a representative survey in eight countries. Around 1,000 people were interviewed in each country between 15 and 28 November 2024. The countries surveyed include the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Austria, Germany, Poland, Hungary and Romania.

 

Number of murdered Jews massively underestimated

 

In the survey in Germany, around 40 per cent of the same age group stated that they did not know that around six million Jews were murdered during the National Socialist era. 15 per cent believed it was less than two million. Two per cent of all citizens surveyed in the Federal Republic were of the opinion that the Holocaust did not take place at all.

 

Overall, at least 20 per cent of respondents in seven of the eight countries surveyed believed that two million or fewer Jews were murdered during the Holocaust. In Romania the figure was 28 per cent, in Hungary almost as many (27 per cent) and in Poland 24 per cent of respondents said the same.

 

In almost all countries in which the survey was conducted last November, half or a majority of respondents were concerned that something like the Holocaust could happen again. In the USA in particular, a majority of 76 per cent expressed this fear. In the UK, the figure was 69 per cent, in France 63 per cent and in Austria 62 per cent. 61 per cent of respondents in Germany stated that they had this concern.

 

Central Council of Jews alarmed by ignorance

 

The Central Council of Jews in Germany expressed alarm at the results of the survey. "The worrying rise in anti-Semitic verbal and physical violence that we are seeing in Germany has its roots to a large extent in disinformation and a lack of information about the Holocaust," said Central Council President Josef Schuster. The study shows the dimension of the lack of knowledge, especially with regard to young adults. Politics, education and the media must work together to counteract this.

 

Several memorial sites in Germany are planning special events to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp on 27 January. Last year, many of the memorials recorded a consistently high number of visitors, according to a survey by the news agency epd. This applies, for example, to the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp Memorial in Brandenburg, which counted almost half a million visitors in 2024. The Dachau concentration camp memorial in Bavaria, which was visited by more than 900,000 people, also spoke of a "steadily increasing interest".

 

The Berlin documentation centre "Topography of Terror", on the other hand, recorded a decline in visitors of almost 21 percent in 2024 compared to the previous year. However, with almost 1.63 million visitors last year, the centre was the most visited place of remembrance and information about the Nazi regime.

 

Hardly any contemporary witnesses still alive

 

The endeavour to provide information about the National Socialist era and the Holocaust is made more difficult by the dwindling number of contemporary witnesses. The Claims Conference estimates that around 245,000 Jewish Holocaust survivors are still alive in more than 90 countries worldwide. The majority of them, 49 per cent, live in the USA. Almost all of the eyewitnesses experienced the events as children."

Those cubicle-shaped rooms in those buildings look like books and the whole building looks like a bookshelf. Those rooms representing knowledge. Wings are the focal point in this picture because that is the end result, which is freedom. And with that freedom that person holds endless opportunities (sky is the limit).

From ancient times to the present, philosophers have repeatedly emphasized the importance of living a frugal or minimalist life. The ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes said, “True wealth is not in increasing possessions, but in reducing one’s needs.” Mahatma Gandhi pointed to the destructive side of human greed, stating, “The Earth has enough for everyone’s needs, but not enough for everyone’s greed.” From the Buddha to Karl Marx, across the passage of time, many have expressed similar ideas. This minimalist concept in philosophy has greatly influenced the photographer, and its mark is clearly visible in his vision and framing.

 

The absence of color or the use of minimal composition in framing reflects the photographer’s inclination toward a minimalist approach. The fog, wrapped like a thick winter blanket, creates a serene atmosphere. In this calm and pure dramatic setting, human presence becomes secondary. Before nature, even humanity’s vast achievements become insignificant. That is why the photographer has kept humans and their architectural achievements in the background, framing the scene in a minimalist style. Here, nature is the primary subject—not humans or their constructions.

 

According to nihilism, or the philosophy of pessimism, human life does not has inherent purpose. Evolutionary theory has shown that humans are an unintended outcome of nature’s evolutionary process. Yet human beings, regarded as the finest of creations, continue to exploit all their knowledge and effort into seeking meaning in life. They establish ever-greater architectural structures upon the heart of nature. In proving their superiority, they seem to challenge nature itself. Viewing nature as an adversary, humanity gradually distances itself further and further from it.

----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------

 

SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!

 

12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."

 

❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️

 

16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)

 

16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)

 

1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.

 

3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.

 

9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)

 

7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)

 

1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

 

5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)

 

Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!

 

So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️
