“Words have a magical power. They can bring either the greatest happiness or deepest despair; they can transfer knowledge from teacher to student; words enable the orator to sway his audience and dictate its decisions. Words are capable of arousing the strongest emotions and prompting all men's actions.”― Sigmund Freud
"Knowledge is power" ~ Sir Frances Bacon ... but
“A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So is a lot.” ~Albert Einstein
At least, that is the motto seen here over a side entrance to the old main building of Hamburg University. It is not that old, only dating from 1911. And it did not start as a university (that happened in 1919, in the Weimar Republic) but a "Kolonialinstitut". Germany before 1918 did have colonies. Knowledge as an instrument of power gets a totally new meaning then. But even later, when being a university, this academic institution was rather particular where its knowledge ought to be invested. For the Jews they did not cry when thousands were assembled next door virtually, at the Moorweide, and deported to their death. Knowledge? Yes. But whose knowledge, whose power? Fuji X-Pro1.
I know God has amazing plans for me. I pray for direction to follow them, patience to wait for them, faith to believe din them and knowledge to know when they come.
Jeremiah 29:11
So, I normally hate chain letters but when Ingrid in oz and floralgal passed this on, I decided to do this one. After I made my wish, which you are supposed to do before you read the prayer, it was pretty amazing that the words were so spot on and really hit me. Here’s hoping that it helps you in a good way too. I may post this one somewhere where I can see it every day.
Have a peaceful day my dear friends!
(Saint Theresa is known as the Saint of the Little Ways. Meaning she believed in doing the little things in life well and with great love. She is also the patron Saint of flower growers and florists. She is represented by roses.)
Make a wish! ...
St. Theresa's Prayer
May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.
Miltalie school was a one teacher school which opened in 1915 to service the local area which is north-west of Cowell on Eyre Peninsula, South Australia. It had 11 female teachers during its 20 year life.
Local knowledge can never be replaced with a guidebook, Google Earth or whatever tool you use when visiting a place for the first time. Hiring a local guide or joining a tour, is by far the most effective way to get good results from a trip. Not only will you get access to prime spots but you will also contribute to the local economy by hiring local businesses.

On this trip we had the pleasure of being shown around by my good friend @starvingphotographer who took us to this lovely looking cabin on the backroads in Skagit Valley.
Every year in summer period, almost of the temple in Thailand will do the short term novice training to the boy who would to studying, praying and know now to control their contemplation.
Just only 1 week or 2 weeks depend on their parents
These Mele Murals represent the main sources of Hawaiian 'ike (knowledge) - realms of the heavens, creation, and earth & ocean. - Description of the wall art onsite. Seen at Keauhou Shopping Center - Kailua-Kona, Big Island, Hawaii.
A visit to the Library of Congress and all its wonders. You can take the kid out of the library but you cannot take the knowledge learned out of the kid.
If you've a head for hedge mazes, you will be rewarded at the end by entrance to a vast and breath-taking library. Who knows what knowledge might lay between those pages!
While scouring this years pics to put together a calendar for my dad I ran across this fellow. I can't imagine anyone who's ever been to the Western Washington University campus missing this beauty. I was going to the top of the hill to look out at the city and it drew me like a magnet. No evil here, just good. :-)
the map marker is approximate but close, I've only been there once.
Up to week three in RogueOlympics and this time the prompt was “Volume”. I went with the literary definition, “a book forming part of a work or series,” building this old library scene. 101 parts used.
Parts overview available on Brickbuilt.

My knowledge of land animals before this trip was minimal so I kept asking my guide which animal would be the predator and which would be the prey. When we came across this hippo and crocodile, the guide said they are good neighbors and don't fight. That is, until this croc got too close to this momma hippos baby and the momma aggressively pushed the croc away. The croc did not like this and there was a quick flash of aggression.
Fort Myers or Ft. Myers, is the county seat and commercial center of Lee County, Florida, United States. It has grown rapidly in recent years. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 62,298 and in 2017 was estimated at 79,943.
Fort Myers is a gateway to the Southwest Florida region and a major tourist destination within Florida. The winter estates of Thomas Edison ("Seminole Lodge") and Henry Ford ("The Mangoes") are major attractions. The city is named after Colonel Abraham Myers.
Spain originally had colonial influence in Florida, succeeded by Great Britain and, lastly, the United States. During the American Indian Wars of the 1830s, the United States built Fort Myers as one of the first forts along the Caloosahatchee River; it was used as a base of operations against the Seminole. During the Seminole Wars and Indian Removal period, Fort Myers was a strategic location, with access to Atlantic waterways. While many Seminole were forced to remove to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River, others used their knowledge of the Everglades and Florida wilderness to resist the Americans. They were never defeated and two federally recognized Seminole tribes still control some of their historic territory.
During the American Civil War, Confederate blockade runners and cattle ranchers were based in Fort Myers. These settlers prospered through trading with the Seminole and Union soldiers.
The Fort Myers community was founded after the American Civil War by Captain Manuel A. Gonzalez on February 21, 1866. Captain Gonzalez was familiar with the area as a result of his years of service delivering mail and supplies to the Union Army at the Fort during the Seminole Indian Wars and Civil War.[ When the U.S. Government abandoned the fort following the Civil War, Gonzalez sailed from Key West, Florida to found the community. Three weeks later, Joseph Vivas and his wife, Christianna Stirrup Vivas, arrived with Gonzalez's wife, Evalina, and daughter Mary.
Gonzalez settled his family near the abandoned Fort Myers, where he began the area's first trading post. Gonzalez traded tobacco, beads, and gunpowder, and sold otter, bobcat, and gator hide, to the neighboring Seminole. A small community began to form around the trading post.
In the late 19th century, northerners began to travel to Florida in the winter. Some saw development opportunities. In 1881, the wealthy industrialist Hamilton Disston of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania came to the Caloosahatchee Valley. He planned to dredge and drain the Everglades for development. Diston connected Lake Okeechobee with the Caloosahatchee River; this allowed steamboats to run from the Gulf of Mexico to Lake Okeechobee and up the Kissimmee River.
On August 12, 1885, the small town of Fort Myers—all 349 residents—was incorporated. By that time, it was the second-largest town on Florida's Gulf Coast south of Cedar Key.
In 1885, inventor Thomas Alva Edison was cruising Florida's west coast and stopped to visit Fort Myers. He soon bought 13 acres along the Caloosahatchee River in town. There he built his home "Seminole Lodge", as a winter retreat. It included a laboratory for his continuing work. After the Lodge was completed in 1886, Edison and his wife, Mina, spent many winters in Fort Myers. Edison also enjoyed local recreational fishing, for which Fort Myers had gained a national reputation.
In 1898, the Royal Palm Hotel was constructed. This luxury hotel attracted many tourists and established Fort Myers nationally as a winter resort destination.

It is common knowledge that, in comparison with murals, a mosaic is more expensive, but more durable kind of fine art. Longevity was a very useful property, given the difficult fate of the church after the revolution.
Unlike the mosaics of St. Isaac's Cathedral, which reproduced previously created works of oil painting, the original stories of the Savior on the Spilled Blood were immediately written in the calculation for their execution in the smalt. Inside the temple there is not a single painting work. An amazing carpet of beautiful mosaic paintings covers the whole interior of the temple.
When your mind is a blank..like most of the days during a 365 project. The internet becomes your best friend.
I have searched and searched for hours and hours for ideas and inspiration.
Now I have so much planned and so many different ideas.. I dont have enough days to do them all..
Some ideas are that complex, I dont have the skill to pull them off.. so I need to learn and practice and feed my mind with more tutorials and training.
When will it all end ?
Day 365 ? I dont think so !
Im only just getting warmed up....
Edit: Explored !! Thank you !!!!

I noticed that I never made a Photoshop image of the USS Indianapolis. And here it is.
I also made a youtube video about the ship:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBuQUNuXLwY
When I was 9 years old, my father gave me a Matchbox kit of the USS Indianapolis and told me the story of the ship.
The USS Indianapolis was a “Portland” Heavy Cruiser used by the American Navy during the Second World War.
The ship was used to carry to Tinian some of the components for the atomic bomb dropped over Hiroshima. While returning, it was torpedoed by the Japanese submarine I-58 and sunk in 12 minutes. Since the mission was so secret, the Navy command had no knowledge of the ship's sinking until survivors were spotted three and a half days later.
Of 1,196 crewmen aboard, approximately 300 went down with the ship; the remaining 900 faced dehydration, saltwater poisoning and shark attacks while floating. Finally, a patrol plane located the survivors. In the end, only 317 survived...
The story of the ship (with some mistakes) became quite famous in the film “Jaws”, told by the shark hunter Quint (Robert Shaw). A movie about the ship is currently being filmed.
