The elephants are also trained a variety of movement behavior, such as sitting, lying down, and moving backwards, which encourage them to stretch out their muscles-kind of like elephant yoga!
A remarkable ruined country house, lying immediately to the south of Springfield (Fife) and 3 miles (5 km) southwest of Cupar. Originally built as an unassuming villa by the Earl of Crawford in 1758, Crawford Priory was rebuilt from 1809 for Lady Mary Lindsay Crawford. The rebuilding was begun by architect David Hamilton (1768 - 1843) but in 1811, James Gillespie Graham (1776 - 1855) was retained to complete the work. Hamilton hid the earlier house in High Gothic, while Graham extended it to the rear in Ecclesiastical Gothic, giving it the style of a Priory. When the house passed to the 4th Earl of Glasgow in 1833, he made minor alterations and further restyling was completed by the 6th Earl in 1871. Reginald Fairlie moved the porch in 1920. This house has been described as "perhaps the most important Gothic Priory house in Scotland"
As changing financial circumstances meant that maintaining a country house became exorbitantly expensive, so parts of Crawford Priory were closed off. Eventually the entire house was abandoned and it has lain derelict since 1971, slowly falling apart.

Incan ruins, known as Inca Písac, which lie atop a hill at the entrance to the valley. The ruins are separated along the ridge into four groups: P'isaqa, Inti Watana, Qalla Q'asa, and Kinchiraqay. Inti Watana group includes the Temple of the Sun, baths, altars, water fountains, a ceremonial platform, and an inti watana, a volcanic outcrop carved into a hitching post for the Sun. The angles of its base suggest that it served to define the changes of the seasons. alla Q'asa, which is built onto a natural spur and overlooks the valley, is known as the citadel.
The Inca constructed agricultural terraces on the steep hillside, which are still in use today. They created the terraces by hauling richer topsoil by hand from the lower lands. The terraces enabled the production of surplus food, more than would normally be possible at altitudes as high as 11,000 feet. With military, religious, and agricultural structures, the site served at least a triple purpose. Researchers believe that Písac defended the southern entrance to the Sacred Valley, while Choquequirao defended the western entrance, and the fortress at Ollantaytambo the northern. Inca Pisac controlled a route which connected the Inca Empire with the border of the rain forest.

I found this graveyard holding the graves of some that were born in the late 18th century. Unfortunately some reckless kids have toppled over many of the stones as seen in the back left of this photograph.
Girls in modern Culture begin to get sucked into the lies the TV tells us on how we should look, how our lives should be, and in actuality nothing is how the TV portrays it.

Aphrodisias lies in southwestern Turkey, in the fertile valley of the Dandalas River, a tributary of the Meander, about 150 kilometres east (inland) of the Aegean Sea. It is situated at the base of the Babadag mountain range, at 500 m above sea level. The city was the capital of the ancient Roman province of Caria.
The ancient city of Aphrodisias is one of the most important archaeological sites of the Greek and Roman periods in Turkey. Famous in antiquity for its sanctuary of Aphrodite, the city's patron goddess, Aphrodisias enjoyed a long and prosperous existence from the second century B.C. through the sixth century A.D. Today, many of the city's ancient monuments remain standing, and excavations have unearthed numerous fine marble statues and other artifacts. The great beauty and extraordinary preservation of this site combine to bring the civic culture of the Greco-Roman world vividly to life.
Aphrodisias was founded on the site of an ancient local sanctuary in the second century B.C., according to the date of the earliest coins and inscriptions found in the site. In the late first century B.C., the city came under the personal protection of the Roman emperor Augustus, and a long period of growth and good fortune ensued. The first several centuries A.D. were especially prosperous, and most of the surviving buildings of the city date to this period. In the fourth century, Aphrodisias became the capital of the Roman province of Caria. The cosmopolitan character of the age is demonstrated by the presence in this city of an active Jewish community, attested in a famous inscription listing benefactors of the local Synagogue.
The first systematic excavations at the site were begun in 1961 under the aegis of New York University, and yielded many remains of the city's central monuments. In addition to the Temple of Aphrodite, major areas of investigation included the Bouleuterion or Council House, and the Sebasteion. The Sebasteion, a religious sanctuary dedicated to Aphrodite and the Roman emperors, is one of the most remarkable discoveries of Roman archaeology. It is one of the best-preserved examples of a Roman imperial cult complex, and is decorated with an extraordinary series of life-size marble reliefs (originally almost 200), which depict Roman emperors and imperial family members from ca. A.D. 20 to 60, as well as, personifications of the subject peoples of the Roman empire, and mythological heroes and gods. The reliefs provide an unparalleled insight into how Roman imperial power was understood from a local perspective. Other important public buildings are the Theatre, the Hadrianic Baths, and the Stadium; the latter seated 30,000 people, and is the best-preserved of all ancient stadiums. The buildings of the site are remarkable not only for the preservation of their architecture, but also for the many inscriptions, statues, reliefs, and other objects associated with them.
Aphrodisias is well-known for its fine sculpture. Good marble quarries are located only a few kilometres away from the city, and by the Late Hellenistic period, a strong local tradition of marble sculpture had already taken root. In later generations, Aphrodisian sculptors are known to have worked abroad on prestigious commissions, for example, at Hadrian's villa at Tivoli. The sculpture from the site is characterized by virtuosity and variety. Excavation has uncovered statues of, for example, gods, heroes, emperors, orators, philosophers, and boxers, as well as a great range of ornamental and figured relief. The finds range from grave reliefs of the second century B.C. to statues of the last Roman governors of the sixth century A.D. Many sculptures from the site already occupy key positions in the history of ancient art.
The studies for a site management plan were started according to a protocol between the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Geyre Foundation dated to 08.11.2007.

Community elders in Shade Bara of Injil district in Herat. This village is particularly at risk of flooding. It lies at the bottom of a floodplain in the Injil district of Herat, and is bounded by mountains on one side, and a river on the other.
Flood waters are among the most destructive of natural hazards; they can rise with incredible rapidity, and be a serious risk to life, as well as causing immense damage to property, crops, and livelihoods. Shade Baraâs situation makes it prone to flooding from October to April, when rain is most frequent. This is a big problem for the 1700 families that live in the village.
To address the problem, UNDPâs Climate Change Adaptation Project, together with the Ministry of Agriculture Irrigation and Livestock constructed a 1120-meter protection wall to protect 40 hectares of land and property from heavy flooding.
UNDPâs Climate Change Adaptation Project (CCAP), is funded by the Global Environment Facility Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF). It started in 2014 and will end by 2019. Together with the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock (MAIL), UNDP implemented more than 100 livelihoods projects, including building greenhouses and training farmers on how to process and store food, as well as to protect 800 hectares of land from flooding. The project improved irrigation for 500 hectares of agricultural land and helped communities repair 30 canals.
