The word porth in the Cornish language means port and elvan is the Celtic Saint who came to these shores in the 5th century along with many others to preach the Christian faith. St Elvan was about one and a half miles from Porthleven on the road to Sithney and there is still an area to the north of Porthlevan called St Elvan.
As a village, Porthleven was not important in the Middle Ages. There was no harbour there and the River Cober was navigable as far as Helston. Porthleven was bisected by the parish boundaries of Breage and Sithney, and the modern parish - formed in 1846 - took land from both.
It is rare to find a Cornish harbour which faces southwest, directly into the prevailing winds, and Porthleven's development as a port was always hampered by its orientation. Doubtless, Porthleven would have remained a small fishing inlet to this day had there not been an overriding need, in the early nineteenth century, for a harbour of refuge along this forbidding lee shore to which ships could run in times of distress.
The workforce used in the construction of the harbour included many prisoners from the Napoleonic wars. The main work was completed in 1825 and a large drifter fleet was soon engaged in the mackerel and pilchard fisheries. It was opened in August of the same year with a feast of roast beef and plum pudding for the whole village.
Major improvements were carried out in the 1850s, after the port was taken over by Harvey & Co. of Hayle, and the handsome, massively-built harbour that we see today dates from this time. Porthleven port was expanded in the last century to export tin ore. The long curved harbour wall is in three sections, and the inner harbour was designed to be sealed off in a gale.
The harbour imported coal, limestone and timber, and exported tin, copper and china clay. The Porthleven boatbuilding industry became a major employer at this time building clippers, schooners and yachts. Two Porthleven built trawlers still work from Brixham but the last boat was launched in the late 1970's.

Namtso is one of the three holy lakes in Tibet and significant for Tibetan Buddhists. Kora is a Tibetan word that means "circumambulation" or "revolution". Kora is both a type of pilgrimage and a type of meditative practice in the Tibetan Buddhism. Thus, Namtso Kora means pilgrimage walk around the Lake Namtso.
Namtso literally means heavenly lake in Tibetan language. Located around 240km northwest of Lhasa, capital of Tibet, it takes four hours’ driving from Lhasa. Extending 70 km from east to west and 30 km from south to north, the lake covers an area of 1,920 sq km and has an altitude of 4748 m above sea level. It is biggest lake in Tibet and the second biggest salt lake in China as well as one of the highest lakes in the world. The water in the lake is crystally clear and blue. The blue sky joins the surface of the lake in the distance, creating an integrated, scenic vista.
In every Tibetan year of sheep, thousands of Tibetan Buddhism believers will come here to worship this sacred lake. As a rule, they will walk clockwise along the Namtso Lake in order to receive the blessing of the gods.
There are several fine Tibet treks around the lake. The shortest one is roughly 4 kilometers and takes less than one hour. It starts from the accommodation area to a hermit’s cave hidden behind a large spinter of rock. The kora continues to a rocky promontory of cairns and prayer flags. At the promontory, pilgrims undertake a ritural washing in the lake. And then the trail continues past several caves and a prostration point where there are two rock towers looking like two hands. Pilgrims squeeze into the deep slices of the nearby cliff face as a means of sin detection or drink water dripping from cave roofs, even swallow holy dirt.
In the Royal Palace of Madrid, some street lamps ("farolas" in Spanish language) with symbolic decoration have been restored.
Here you can see one of them, in the Plaza de la Armería, where you can see several crowns, a fleur-de-lis and some pine cones.
The fleur-de-lis is a symbol that takes us back to ancient times with the mythical King Solomon and the no less mythical Queen of Sheba.
It is considered a symbol of royalty, found on the coats of arms of several royal dynasties, such as the Bourbon dynasty, which continues to rule in Spain and others.
The fleur-de-lis is part of the coat of arms of several cities, such as Paris, Darmstadt, Elda, Lincoln (UK) or Wiesbaden.
In some cases it is also considered a religious symbol, representing the Virgin Mary and the religious military order of Santiago. And it is part of the coats of arms of the families of several Popes.
It is also considered an alchemical and Masonic symbol.
It even appears in some mafia (mob) organizations: it was adopted by the Hachel Mafia, known as the Virgin Escribana, as an emblem in the 17th century.
In Germany, more specifically in the municipality of Hachelbich, their meetings were held.
Any person not affiliated with the Hachel Mafia who tried to stop them from achieving their goals ended up brutally murdered.
Their victims were recognized by a brand made with a hot iron with the symbol of the fleur-de-lis. (Source: Wikipedia)
UNA FAROLA REAL, 2024
En el Palacio Real de Madrid se han restaurado varias farolas con decoración simbólica.
Aquí se puede ver una de ellas, en plena Plaza de la Armería en la que se pueden ver varias coronas, una flor de lis y algunas piñas.
La flor de lis es un símbolo que nos lleva a tiempos ancestrales con el mítico rey Salomón y la no menos mítica reina de Saba.
Se considera un símbolo de realeza, que se encuentra en los escudos de varias dinastías reales, como la dinastía borbónica, que sigue gobernando en España y otras.
La flor de lis forma parte del escudo de varias ciudades, como París, Darmstadt, Elda, Lincoln (UK) or Wiesbaden.
En algunos casos también se considera un símbolo religioso, que representa a la Virgen María y a la orden religioso militar de Santiago. Y forma parte de los escudos de las familias de varios Papas.
También se considera un símbolo alquímico y masónico.
Incluso aparece en algunas organizaciones mafiosas: fue adoptado por la Mafia Hachel, conocida como la Virgen Escribana, como emblema en el siglo XVII.
En Alemania, más específicamente en el municipio de Hachelbich, se realizaban sus reuniones.
Cualquier persona ajena a la Mafia Hachel que intentase detener el cumplimiento de sus objetivos terminaba brutalmente asesinada.
Sus víctimas eran reconocidas mediante una marca hecha con hierro candente con el símbolo de la flor de lis. (Fuente: Wikipedia)

Is mathematics the language of the universe?
I find it neat that many plants (haha, but not all!) follow a mathematical rule called the "Golden Ratio" when they grow. Using this ratio (and a numbering sequence attributed to Fibonacci but known in India for hundreds of years before), each petal is able to get the maximum amount of sunlight it possibly can. Next time you see a sunflower, take a close look - its growth pattern can be described using mathematics!
This lovely woman is Chrystal, who has tried to teach me American Sign Language (sadly Canadians use American sign) for the last two semesters. She is a lovely, bright and funny woman. When she was a little girl, the doctors told her parents she was retarded because of her inability to speak. I'd say perhaps they were the ones with the problem. Turns out she was only operating with 15 % of her hearing. Since then, she has lost it all. She uses a cochlear implant to hear and is fluent in sign as well as an excellent lip reader.
Tonight I write my final exam for Level 2. I've been reviewing so long I'm getting cross-eyed, or cross-fingered more accurately. The end of this class means I get a certificate. Yee haw!
Back to work.

The red flowers say it all.
From ‘I love you’ to ‘I can’t live without you,’ from ‘I am pissed’ to ‘I am proud of you!’
When you find yourself fumbling for the right words to describe the situation and when you can’t figure out what might be the right gift for your special occasion, always trust the red flowers to do their job.
Red blooms also represent strength and courage.
They exude energy and positive vibes.
They are just so varied, delightful!
Have a glorious day and thank you, M, (*_*)

Encounter, part 2. This is the same cinnamon Black Bear seen in yesterday's post. Its body language is very different. It takes a worried bear to give me a look like that. Interesting comparison, I think.
After I'd been working with it alone for 15 minutes or so and this bear had accepted me as non-threatening, along came a couple of tourists in their car. There was a slight bend in the road behind me, where my car was, about 50 feet away and slightly to the right. Instead of pulling up directly behind me, they stopped 75 feet short, triangulating the bear. Behind the bear was a mountain wall.
Its stress level went straight up. Ears back, fear in its eyes. I began talking to it in a soft voice and slowly backing up, trying not to trip over roots and branches, while it considered possible options. And all ended well, as I was able to give it a clear escape path, which it took.
Then I walked over and had a little talk with the tourists. I was calm. You can't teach people by yelling at them. I told them they had created a dangerous situation for me, and why: "You effectively surrounded the bear, and that put me at risk."
Of course, I knew from the start this might happen. I had my own escape route in mind all along. After a few minutes with this bear, I was pretty sure we could read each other and no one would get his nose out of joint. But tourists always increase the danger level, because "reading" wildlife is a foreign concept to them and they unwittingly do dumb things. I'd much rather photograph bears in the back country.

Mount Kailash itself is known in the Tibetan language as Gang Ti-se and informally as Gang Rinpoche ("Precious Snow Mountain"), to the Bon as Yungdrung Gutsek ("Nine stacked Svastikas"). Though only 6714 m high, it stands quite alone like a great white sentinel guarding the main routes into Tibet from India and Nepal in the south and west.
Traditionally a pilgrim undertakes the 52-km trekking cirquit or circumambulation (khorlam) around Mount Kailash commencing at Darchen (4575 m) and crossing the 5630 m Dolma La pass on the second day of the three-day walk. This is followed by a trek of the same duration around the beautiful turquiose Lake Manasarovar known in the Tibetan language as Mapham Yutso མ་ཕམ་གཡུ་མཚོ།

Badlands National Park (Lakota: Makȟóšiča) is an American national park located in southwestern South Dakota. The park protects 242,756 acres (379.3 sq mi; 982.4 km2) of sharply eroded buttes and pinnacles, along with the largest undisturbed mixed grass prairie in the United States. The National Park Service manages the park, with the South Unit being co-managed with the Oglala Lakota tribe.
The Badlands Wilderness protects 64,144 acres (100.2 sq mi; 259.6 km2) of the park's North Unit as a designated wilderness area, and is one site where the black-footed ferret, one of the most endangered mammals in the world, was reintroduced to the wild. The South Unit, or Stronghold District, includes sites of 1890s Ghost Dances, a former United States Air Force bomb and gunnery range, and Red Shirt Table, the park's highest point at 3,340 feet (1,020 m).
Authorized as Badlands National Monument on March 4, 1929, it was not established until January 25, 1939. Badlands was redesignated a national park on November 10, 1978. Under the Mission 66 plan, the Ben Reifel Visitor Center was constructed for the monument in 1957–58. The park also administers the nearby Minuteman Missile National Historic Site. The movies Dances with Wolves (1990) and Thunderheart (1992) were partially filmed in Badlands National Park.
This national park was originally a reservation of the Oglala Sioux Indians and spans the southern unit of the park. The area around Stronghold Table was originally Sioux territory, and is revered as a ceremonial sacred site rather than a place to live.
In 1868, at the Second Treaty of Fort Laramie, the United States assured the Sioux that the Badlands shall forever be the property of the Sioux. In 1889, however, the treaty was broken and the Badlands were confiscated by the United States and unilaterally incorporated into a national park.
At the end of the 19th century, the Sioux Indians used this area as the site of the Ghost Dance, a ceremony to revive the souls of buffalo and the dead. After the last ghost dance in 1890, the United States banned the ritual, but it was revived by the Red Power movement, a movement to restore Indian rights that began in the 1960s. In 1980, the U.S. Supreme Court awarded compensation to the Sioux for the abrogation of the 1868 treaty, but the Sioux did not accept the money.

Mount Merapi, Gunung Merapi in Indonesian language, is a conical volcano located on the border between Central Java and Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
It is the most active volcano in Indonesia and has erupted regularly since 1548. Its name means Mountain of Fire. It is very close to the city of Yogyakarta, and thousands of people live on the flanks of the volcano.
Although smoke can be seen emerging from the mountain top at least 300 days a year, several eruptions have caused fatalities. Hot gas from a large explosion killed 43 people in 1994, mostly in the town of Muntilan, west of the volcano. Another large eruption occurred in 2006, shortly before the Yogyakarta earthquake. In light of the hazards that Merapi poses to populated areas, it has been designated as one of the Decade Volcanoes.
In April 2006, increased seismicity at more regular intervals and a detected bulge in the volcano's cone indicated that fresh eruptions were imminent. Authorities put the volcano's neighboring villages on high alert and local residents prepared for a likely evacuation. On April 19 smoke from the crater reached a height of 400 metres, compared to 75 metres the previous day. On April 23, after nine surface tremors and some 156 multifaced quakes signalled movements of magma, some 600 elderly and infant residents of the slopes were evacuated.
By early May, active lava flows had begun. On May 11, with lava flow beginning to be constant, some 17,000 people were ordered to be evacuated from the area and on May 13, Indonesian authorities raised the alert status to the highest level, ordering the immediate evacuation of all residents on the mountain. Many villagers defied the dangers posed by the volcano and returned to their villages, fearing that their livestock and crops would be vulnerable to theft. Activity calmed by the middle of May.
On May 27, a 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck roughly 30 miles southwest of Merapi, killing at least 5,000 and leaving at least 200,000 people homeless in the Yogyakarta region, heightening fears that Merapi will blow The quake did not appear to be a long-period oscillation, a seismic disturbance class that is increasingly associated with major volcanic eruptions. A further 11,000 villagers were evacuated on June 6 as lava and superheated clouds of gas poured repeatedly down its upper slopes. The pyroclastic flows are known locally as wedhus gembel (Javanese for shaggy goat).

Another from my gosling collection. I'm almost through posting the ones that turned out well and that makes me a little sad.
I guess I'll have to wait around for next year to try and get some more photos of these fluffy folks.
They're so adorable at this age, and other than the possibility of Mama chasing you down, they're relatively harmless, so I could happily spend a day watching and shooting them!
Hope everyone has had a good day.

October = LISTOPAD in the Croatian language means 'the month of falling leaves'
[LIST: 'leaf' + PAD: 'fall' = LISTOPAD: 'leaf-fall'].
The month of October was also called LISTOPAD in the old Macedonian (Листопад)
as well as old Bulgarian (Листопад). The month's name LISTOPAD exists or existed
in several other Slavic languages: Polish (Listopad), Czech (Listopad), old Slovenian (Listopad), Ukrainian (Листопад), and Byelarusian (Листопад). However in the latter
five languages the term LISTOPAD refers to the month of November. This is probably
due to differences in climate.
On the other hand, October is called "VINOTOK" [VINO: 'wine' + TOK: 'flow' = "the wine flowing month"] in the archaic Slovenian language, "ZHOVTEN" [ZHOVTIY: 'yellow' color = month when leaves turn yellow] in Ukrainian (Жовтень), and "KASTRYCHNIK" [KOSTER: 'bonfire' = month when leaves turn colour of fire] in Byelarusian (Кастрычнiк). These two languages call October the "mud month" - Finnish (Lokakuu) and Carelian (Ligakuu).

I was sitting in the poorly lit splendour of St. Peter's in Vienna listening to sacred music. Suddenly the sun broke through the clouds illuminating the gilded scene opposite me: the martyrdom of the 14th century Bohemian saint John of Nepomuk about to be drowned in the river Vitava. The symbolic language is as sophisticated as its baroque style. But one thing is clear - there is victory in defeat.

I technically took this on the seventh, at about 12.29pm, but I haven't gone to sleep yet so it still counts as the 6th. A lot happened today and it's been quite interesting. =) I didn't write it all because you'd most likely give up reading, so here's a few highlights.
Last night I went to bed much later than usual because an old friend & I were trying to salvage our friendship. See, this girl is really very nice & lovely, but we drifted apart. We used to call each other when we were upset & always be able to talk to each other, but then she started spending 24/7 with her boyfriend & I wasn't comfortable talking about my problems with her while he was there. I was never angry with her for being with her boyfriend because I would do the same, but naturally I didn't talk to her as much. made a conscious decision in September that if anything emotional happened involving friends I would just withdraw. It's a defensive mechanism I've had since I was a child. I can just completely shut off from it. Some people don't understand how I can do it, but others do just the same. So I wasn't upset about how we never talked anymore, because I no longer had any feelings towards the situation. She was upset about it though, and I would have been too if I wasn't so focused on my work. Last night it all came out in the open and we were forced to talk about what had happened & then gradually began repairing things.
Anyway, I went to tutor period this morning, & my tutor asked me to stay behind. I could tell he was pissed off at me but I had no idea why. He asked me why I hadn't been in his lesson on Thursday & I just answered that he wasn't in&, as he well knows, the norm is that in 6th form we don't get cover teachers. He was still angry at me though & said that he'd spoken to Eike & told him to tell everyone in our class that we were to turn up to the lesson anyway because he'd got a cover teacher for us. He remained angry at me though & I wanted to scream that if any of the teachers opened their eyes for once they'd notice that the German students never tell Hannah or me anything. I knew if I said something in such a bad mood it would come out wrong so I stayed quite. I was so angry by the end of this. When I got back to house & there was a fight going on because the English had reminded the Germans that the school language was English so could they please not isolate others. They took badly to this & the whole usual fight started again.
In English we're studying Sylvia Plath's Berck-Plage. Our teacher started asking us if we'd seen any dead bodies before, (I've seen 2), & then going on about people dying. Now I'm not usually squeamish about death, but I'm all turbulent inside anyway, and I started thinking about the people who I've seen after they'd died. & then I thought about a close family friend who died the night before my birthday last year. Eventually I couldn't hold back the tears & had to ask if I could go outside to collect myself for a minute. So I ran off to the bathroom & had been there for about a minute before Hannah entered, also crying. I was talking to my mom about it afterwards & she was so patronizing saying that was just the response of a teenager. Everyone deals with death in their own ways, & sometimes I still grieve for those who're gone. I don't think you should put that response down to age.
&& tonight I went to Theatre Clwyd to see "Noises Off". It's brilliant & I highly recommend you go see it. I realise that probably none of you live near there, but people travel from quite a way to see productions there.
& so I felt like doing an international thing today simply because my school is international. I chose to write "I love you" not because I'm feeling all lovey-dovey about someone at the moment, but simply because it's always one of the first things I learn in other languages. I repeat one of the languages by mistake though. Sorry I didn't realise.
& it counts as a 365 because my index finger is just poking into the photo on top of the pen.

Mac knows all the language. Here you can see up right the menu for the language: on my Mac i've setted the italian as the main laguage and all the software is in italian (and in this way i can write in roman letters), but i've setted japanese kanas and kanji too, so i can easily use them and change from italian to kanji just with a simple keyboard combination (⌥+⌘+space). Now i've done an experiment: if i set japanese as the main language, all is related to japanese and all the software so too (pay attention to the upper bar). Here you can see i can choose so many other input system: from the knowest to the most subtle ones.
