20/52 Something You Dislike
There is something that everyone dislikes whether it is doing the laundry for the 30 millionth time, the sound of a baby crying, inconsiderate smokers or the daily commute. We are pretty sure that you will not have to think for very long to think of something!
This is however an ideal challenge to tell a story with your photo. Are any senses shown in the photo? Why do the viewers realize that your photo show something that you dislike? Maybe it is something universal that we all dislike or maybe they can see the reason in your photo.
This is once again a theme that is barn-door wide open for personal interpretation. It could be a thing or a place or an action or a situation. Please be as creative as you want and surprise us with a large variety of the things that you love to hate!

Österreich / Vorarlberg / Kleinwalsertal - Hoher Ifen
The Hoher Ifen (also Hochifen) is a 2,230 metre (according to German survey: 2,229 m) high mountain in the Allgäu Alps, west of the Kleinwalsertal valley. In winter it forms the backdrop for a small ski area. It lies on the border between Germany and Austria. The summit is the highest point on the gently, tilted Ifen plateau.
Northeast of the Ifen plateau is the Gottesacker plateau, a karst landscape which has been designated a nature reserve and which has numerous caves and rare mountain plants. The most important caves are the Hölloch im Mahdtal and the Schneckenloch Cave near Schönenbach. On the eastern slopes of the massif a Stone Age dwelling site was discovered on the mountain pasture of Schneiderkürenalpe at a height of about 1,500 m.
On the southern side of the mountain an undisturbed wildlife area has been declared by the Bregenz district commission at the instigation of the Walser Hunting Club (Walser Jägerschaft), that has restricted the usual Austrian freedom of passage in accordance with § 33 of the Forestry Act. Mountaineering clubs, in particular the German Alpine Club, the Austrian Alpine Club and Allgäu Climbing Group (IG Klettern Allgäu) have criticised the regulation by the Bregenz district commission, because, within its boundaries, on the southern edge of the plateau and at Bärenköpfe is one of the best sport climbing areas in the Alps. The south faces are called the Céüse of the Allgäu, a comparison to the most famous climbing area in Europe.
At the beginning of the 1970s the first ski lifts appeared on the Ifen, from which today's company, the Ifen-Bergbahn-Gesellschaft, emerged. For a long time it was mostly owned by Ruth Merckle, the wife of the pharmaceutical businessman Adolf Merckle. By taking over the Merckle family's 82% share and the 18% share of the family of Kleinwalsertal tourism pioneer, Alfons Herz, on 1 July 2009, the Ifen Bergbahn GmbH u. Co gained full ownership of the Kleinwalsertaler Bergbahn (KBB), Riezlern, whose main shareholders are the Allgäuer Überlandwerk and the Raiffeisen Holding Kleinwalsertal. The Kleinwalsertaler Bergbahn AG plans to build a link lift to the Walmendinger Horn The expansion plans were sharply criticised by several associations because they were viewed as damaging to the environment and would promote mass tourism. The Austrian Alpine Club section in the Kleinwalsertal criticised the plans as follows: The construction of this lift cannot be done in harmony with nature as we would wish to remind those launching such an initiative!
The Kleinwalsertal Landscape Protection Society (Landschaftsschutz Kleinwalsertal) expressed similar views. On October 21, 2012 a referendum was held. About 55% of the voters rejected the proposal to build the lift.

Der Hohe Ifen (auch Hochifen) ist ein 2230 m ü. A. bzw. 2229 m ü. NHN hoher Berg in den Allgäuer Alpen, westlich des Kleinwalsertals. Im Winter bildet er die Kulisse für ein kleines Skigebiet. Er liegt an der Grenze zwischen Deutschland und Österreich. Der Gipfel stellt den höchsten Punkt des leicht geneigten Ifenplateaus dar. Auf ihm treffen die Gemeindegrenzen von Egg, Mittelberg (beide Vorarlberg) und Oberstdorf (Allgäu/Schwaben/Bayern) zusammen.
Nordöstlich des Ifenplateaus befindet sich das Gottesackerplateau, eine unter Naturschutz stehende Karstlandschaft mit zahlreichen Höhlen und seltenen Gebirgspflanzen. Die bedeutendsten Höhlen sind das Hölloch im Mahdtal und die Schneckenlochhöhle bei Schönenbach. Am östlichen Abhang des Bergstocks wurde 1998 auf der Schneiderkürenalpe in etwa 1500 m Höhe vom Amateurarchäologen Detlef Willand eine steinzeitliche Wohnstätte entdeckt und mit fachlicher Begleitung durch die Universität Innsbruck freigelegt.
Auf der Südseite des Berges befindet sich ein Wildruhegebiet, dessen Errichtung von Bergsteigerverbänden wie dem IG Klettern Allgäu heftig kritisiert wurde, da es auch zuvor beliebte Sportklettergebiete umfasst. Trotz einer späteren Aufweichung des Kletterverbotes hält die Kritik an. Auch bei der Planung von Skitouren ist das Wildruhegebiet zu berücksichtigen.
Anfang der 1970er Jahre entstanden erste Skilifte am Ifen, aus denen die heutige Ifen-Bergbahn-Gesellschaft entstand. Sie war lange Zeit mehrheitlich im Besitz von Ruth Merckle, der Ehefrau des Pharmaunternehmers Adolf Merckle. Durch die Übernahme des 82-%-Anteils der Familie Merckle und des 18-%-Anteils der Familie des Kleinwalsertaler Tourismuspioniers Alfons Herz gehört die Ifen Bergbahn GmbH u. Co seit 1. Juli 2009 vollständig der Kleinwalsertaler Bergbahn (KBB), Riezlern, deren Hauptaktionäre das Allgäuer Überlandwerk und die Raiffeisen Holding Kleinwalsertal sind.
Im Jahr 1961 wurde der Olympialift als Schlepplift/Hotellift errichtet. In den Jahren 1971/1972 folgten die Doppelsesselbahn Ifenhütte zwischen Auenhütte und Ifenhütte und der Schlepplift Ifen, der von der Ifenhütte weiter bergaufwärts führte. Seit 1976 besteht der Tellerlift/Übungslift Gaisbühl, der eine Übungswiese zugänglich macht. Die kuppelbare Doppelsesselbahn Hahnenköpflebahn, deren Talstation sich nordöstlich der Ifenhütte befand, wurde im Jahr 1978 gebaut. Die beiden Doppelsesselbahnen wurden in den Jahren 1991/1992 modernisiert.
Der Ifenlift musste im Jahr 2016 dem kuppelbaren 6er-Sessellift Olympiabahn weichen, die vom Tal bis zur Mitte des Schleppliftes führte. In der Sommersaison 2017 wurden die beiden Sessellifte abgebaut, dadurch war keine Liftbeförderung von Personen zur Ifenhütte möglich. Zur Wintersaison 2017/2018 ersetzte die 10er-Gondelbahn Ifen (System D-Line von Doppelmayr) in zwei Sektionen die alte Ifenbahn und Hahnenköpflebahn.
Den Skifahrern stehen etwa 22 Pistenkilometer in allen Schwierigkeitsgraden zur Verfügung, wobei der Anteil schwarz markierter Pisten verglichen mit den Nachbarskigebieten hoch ist. Wegen der Länge und geringen Anzahl der Lifte sind auch die Abfahrten überdurchschnittlich lang.
Die Talstation der Ifenbahn stellt den Einstieg in das Skigebiet dar. Dieser ist über eine durch das Schwarzwassertal führende Straße von Hirschegg aus erreichbar. Auf dieser Straße verkehrt auch ein Linienbus; außerdem besteht eine Busverbindung zwischen der Talstation und der benachbarten Heuberg-Arena.
Eine Anfang der 2010er Jahre geplante Verbindungsbahn über das Schwarzwassertal zum Walmendinger Horn wurde von verschiedenen Verbänden als umweltzerstörend und den Massentourismus fördernd scharf kritisiert.
Die Kleinwalsertaler Bergbahn AG hielt dagegen, dass diese Infrastrukturmaßnahme dazu beitragen würde, den touristischen Abwärtstrend der Region zu stoppen, da durch die neue Bahn ein zusammenhängendes Skigebiet geschaffen würde. Die Mehrheit der Mittelberger Gemeindevertreter sprach sich für den Bau der Bahn aus, für die auch rund 1.600 Unterschriften gesammelt und dem Bürgermeister übergeben wurden. Da auch die Gegner des Projekts mehr als 1.200 Unterstützungsunterschriften sammeln konnten, kam es am 21. Oktober 2012 schließlich zu einer Volksabstimmung. Bei einer Wahlbeteiligung von 74,4 % sprachen sich dabei 55 % der Stimmberechtigten gegen den Bau der geplanten Panoramabahn aus und verhinderten damit eine Umsetzung der Pläne.

This Ritalin ad shows a disturbed woman sitting near a window with exposed skin around her legs, her side, her chest, and her arms. The text tells the viewer to "arouse the depressed psychiatric patient." One cannot help but be struck by the word choice of "arouse" when shown a female patient with the presence of the code of exposed skin, often stereotyping sexual waywardness. The bottom left shows a woman, maybe the same, happily reaching upwards for her medication. Again their is a possible sexual implication given the association between the word "arouse," the skin, and now her position as desirous of what the doctor offers.

" Deciphering trial outcomes can be a tricky business. As if many measures aren't hard enough to make sense of on their own, they are often combined in a complex maneuver called a composite endpoint (CEP) or composite outcome. The composite is treated as a single outcome. And journalists often phrase these outcomes in ways that give the impression that each of the separate components has improved."

LUCKNOW
Lucknow is the largest city of the state of Uttar Pradesh, India and the third largest city in north, east and central India after Delhi and Kolkata. The city is named after Lakshmana, a hero of the ancient Hindu epic Ramayana. Lucknow has always been known as a multicultural city that flourished as a North Indian cultural and artistic hub and the seat of power of Nawabs in the 18th and 19th centuries. It continues to be an important centre of governance, administration, education, commerce, aerospace, finance, pharmaceuticals, technology, design, culture, tourism, music and poetry. It is the world's 74th fastest growing city. Lucknow is the centre of Shia Islam in India with the highest Shia Muslim population in India.
Historically, the capital of Awadh was controlled by the Delhi Sultanate which then came under the Mughal rule, it was later transferred to the Nawabs of Awadh. In 1856 British East India company abolished local rule and took complete control of the city along with the rest of Awadh and later transferred it to the British Raj in 1857.
Lucknow, along with Agra and Varanasi, is one of the 3 cities in the Uttar Pradesh Tourism's Heritage Arc.
History
From 1350 onwards, Lucknow and parts of the Awadh region were ruled by the Delhi Sultanate, Sharqi Sultanate, Mughal Empire, Nawabs of Awadh, the British East India Company (EIC) and the British Raj. Lucknow was one of the major centres of the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and actively participated in India's independence movement, emerging as a strategically important North Indian city. Until 1719, the subah of Awadh was a province of the Mughal Empire administered by a Governor appointed by the Emperor. Persian adventurer Saadat Khan, also known as Burhan-ul-Mulk, was appointed nizam of Awadh in 1722 and established his court in Faizabad, near Lucknow.
The Nawabs of Lucknow, in reality the Nawabs of Awadh, acquired the name after the reign of the third Nawab when Lucknow became their capital. The city became North India's cultural capital, and its nawabs, best remembered for their refined and extravagant lifestyles, were patrons of the arts. Under their dominion, music and dance flourished, and construction of numerous monuments took place. Of the monuments standing today, the Bara Imambara, the Chota Imambara, and the Rumi Darwaza are notable examples.
Many independent kingdoms, such as Awadh, were established as the Mughal Empire disintegrated. The third Nawab, Shuja-ud-Daula (r. 1753–1775), fell out with the British after aiding the fugitive Nawab of Bengal, Mir Qasim. Roundly defeated at the Battle of Buxar by the EIC, he was forced to pay heavy penalties and surrender parts of his territory. Awadh's capital, Lucknow rose to prominence when Asaf-ud-Daula, the fourth nawab, shifted his court to the city from Faizabad in 1775. The British East India Company appointed a resident (ambassador) in 1773 and by early 19th century gained control of more territory and authority in the state. They were, however, disinclined to capture Awadh outright and come face to face with the Maratha Empire and the remnants of the Mughal Empire. In 1798, the fifth Nawab Wazir Ali Khan alienated both his people and the British, and was forced to abdicate. The British then helped Saadat Ali Khan take the throne. He became a puppet king, and in a treaty of 1801, yielded large part of Awadh to the EIC while also agreeing to disband his own troops in favour of a hugely expensive, British-controlled army. This treaty effectively made the state of Awadh a vassal of the EIC, although it continued to be part of the Mughal Empire in name until 1819. The treaty of 1801 proved a beneficial arrangement for the EIC as they gained access to Awadh's vast treasuries, repeatedly digging into them for loans at reduced rates. In addition, the revenues from running Awadh's armed forces brought them useful returns while the territory acted as a buffer state. The Nawabs were ceremonial kings, busy with pomp and show. By the mid-nineteenth century, however, the British had grown impatient with the arrangement and demanded direct control over Awadh.

„Professional play with the body” is an exhibition that delineates a few timid purposes. These are: restoring the memory of former surgery; unimposing and non aggressive education; stimulation of the audience to individual reflection of the cases and the adventures of „human body”, which despite accidents, epidemics and wars lasted in its own no-humility, unruliness and willingness to be injured, fractured, dislocated, disabled, mutilated, or be contracted with the diseases of the interior. Surgeons undoubtedly belonged to the category of explorers, trying to (sometimes maybe too boldly) impose or enforce on that rebellious beings a „muzzle” and again give them an abstract concept of „health.”

St. Louis is an independent city and inland port in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is situated along the western bank of the Mississippi River, which marks Missouri's border with Illinois. The Missouri River merges with the Mississippi River just north of the city. These two rivers combined form the fourth longest river system in the world. The city had an estimated 2017 population of 308,626 and is the cultural and economic center of the St. Louis metropolitan area (home to nearly 3,000,000 people), which is the largest metropolitan area in Missouri, the second-largest in Illinois (after Chicago), and the 22nd-largest in the United States.
Before European settlement, the area was a regional center of Native American Mississippian culture. The city of St. Louis was founded in 1764 by French fur traders Pierre Laclède and Auguste Chouteau, and named after Louis IX of France. In 1764, following France's defeat in the Seven Years' War, the area was ceded to Spain and retroceded back to France in 1800. In 1803, the United States acquired the territory as part of the Louisiana Purchase. During the 19th century, St. Louis became a major port on the Mississippi River; at the time of the 1870 Census it was the fourth-largest city in the country. It separated from St. Louis County in 1877, becoming an independent city and limiting its own political boundaries. In 1904, it hosted the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the Summer Olympics.
The economy of metropolitan St. Louis relies on service, manufacturing, trade, transportation of goods, and tourism. Its metro area is home to major corporations, including Anheuser-Busch, Express Scripts, Centene, Boeing Defense, Emerson, Energizer, Panera, Enterprise, Peabody Energy, Ameren, Post Holdings, Monsanto, Edward Jones, Go Jet, Purina and Sigma-Aldrich. Nine of the ten Fortune 500 companies based in Missouri are located within the St. Louis metropolitan area. The city has also become known for its growing medical, pharmaceutical, and research presence due to institutions such as Washington University in St. Louis and Barnes-Jewish Hospital. St. Louis has two professional sports teams: the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball and the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League. One of the city's iconic sights is the 630-foot (192 m) tall Gateway Arch in the downtown area.
Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busch_Stadium
Busch Stadium, also referred to informally as "New Busch Stadium" or "Busch Stadium III", is a baseball stadium located in St. Louis, Missouri, the home of the St. Louis Cardinals, the city's Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise. The stadium has a seating capacity of 44,494, and contains 3,706 club seats and 61 luxury suites. It replaced Busch Memorial Stadium (aka Busch Stadium II) and occupies a portion of that stadium's former footprint. A commercial area, dubbed Ballpark Village, was built adjacent to the stadium over the remainder of the former stadium's footprint.
The stadium opened on April 4, 2006 with an exhibition between the minor league Memphis Redbirds and Springfield Cardinals, both affiliates of the St. Louis Cardinals, which Springfield won 5–3 with right-hander Mike Parisi recording the first win. The first official major league game occurred on April 10, 2006 as the Cardinals defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 6–4 behind an Albert Pujols home run and winning pitcher Mark Mulder.
In 2004, then Anheuser-Busch president August Busch IV announced the brewing-giant purchased the 20-year naming rights for the stadium. Team owner William Dewitt Jr., said: "From the day we began planning for the new ballpark, we wanted to keep the name ‘Busch Stadium.' August Busch IV and Anheuser-Busch share our vision for continuing that tradition for our great fans and the entire St. Louis community."
It is the third stadium in St. Louis to carry the name Busch Stadium. Sportsman's Park was renamed Busch Stadium in 1953. Team owner August Busch Jr. had planned to name it Budweiser Stadium, but league rules prohibited naming a venue after an alcoholic beverage. Busch named the stadium after himself & his Anheuser-Busch later introduced the "Busch Beer". The first Busch Stadium closed in 1966 and both the baseball Cardinals, and the National Football League (NFL)'s team of the same name (now the Arizona Cardinals) moved to a new multi-purpose stadium, named Busch Memorial Stadium (Busch Stadium II).
