Introduction
Gospel Song Video | 2019 English Christian Song With Lyrics | "The Responsibilities of True Believers"
Verse 1
If you’re truly possessed of conscience,
then you must have a burden
and a sense of responsibility.
No matter if you will be conquered
or you will be made perfect,
bear this step of testimony properly.
Chorus
As God’s creature, for man to be fully conquered by Him,
and in the end to be able to satisfy God,
repay His love with a heart that loves God,
by devoting themselves to God,
this is man’s responsibility.
It’s the duty they ought to perform,
the burden that ought to be borne by them.
And yes, they must complete this commission.
This makes them a true believer in God, true believer in God.
Verse 2
In experiencing all this work,
if man has been conquered,
and further, if man has true knowledge,
they’ll be capable of obedience
regardless of their prospects.
They’ll be capable, regardless of their fate.
Bridge
In this way, God’s great work
will be realized in its entirety.
Chorus
As God’s creature, for man to be fully conquered by Him,
and in the end to be able to satisfy God,
repay His love with a heart that loves God,
by devoting themselves to God,
this is man’s responsibility.
It’s the duty they ought to perform,
the burden that ought to be borne by them.
And yes, they must complete this commission.
This makes them a true believer in God.
Outro
(The responsibility of human beings,
the responsibility of human beings made by God.)
A true believer in God.
(The responsibility of human beings, the responsibility.)
And yes, they must complete this commission.
This makes them a true believer in God.

You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for his own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.

In this family Fynn is responsible for the well-being of the tomatoes which means that he spends a lot of time with them, watches over them and I suppose he talks to them too. He does that every year and is quite successful. Last year we had a fantastic tomato harvest.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
St. Elizabeth's is a Roman Catholic church in Nuremberg in southern Germany. It is dedicated to Elizabeth of Hungary.
The chapel in the free imperial city of Nuremberg was dedicated to Elizabeth of Hungary in 1235. After the Reformation, this was the only Roman Catholic church in the Protestant city of Nuremberg. It soon became inadequate for its congregation, and the church entered into protracted negotiations with the city magistrate, which lasted from 1718 to 1780. Finally agreement was reached for a new church, and the old one was demolished in 1784.
Franz Ignaz Michael Neumann, son of Balthasar Neumann, drew up plans for the new building. The foundation stone was laid on 19 May 1785. Neumann died on 29 September 1789, and responsibility was taken over by Peter Anton von Verschaffelt. However, a large overrun in costs led to the resignation of Verschaffelt in 1789. Eventually topping off was completed in 1802 and in 1803 the dome was crowned with a golden cross.
In 1806 the church was secularised. On 27 January 1885, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Bamberg purchased the church, and further work was done to complete the church to the original plans. It was eventually completed in 1903.
Acts 1:20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his house become deserted, and let there be no one to live in it,’ and ‘Let another take his position of responsibility.’”
And you must not, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life. To have endured horrors, to have seen the worst of humanity and have your life made unrecognizable by it, to come out of all that honorable and brave— that was magical. What's life without whimsy?
P.S.: I did not forget how to be happy.
The Party´s over!

During the summer of 2023, due to family responsibilities, I was seldom able to get out to take pics, but luckily this young Roseate spoonbill was spending the summer just a few miles away. While I did capture many pictures, I did not have much time to look at them and process the images.
Chhath Puja is a four-day elaborate celebration in honour of the Sun, which involves a long fast without water, and making offerings to Usha and Pratyusha, the light of the rising and the setting Sun, while standing in a water body.

Vorig jaar stond ik een aantal kaar in Bornheim op de Linker Rheinstrecke. Dat gaat dit jaar niet snel gebeuren omdat ze daar een lange tijd bezig zijn met werkzaamheden aan onder andere de bovenleiding. Hierdoor is er vaak verminderd treinverkeer mogelijk en worden er veel goederentreinen omgeleid over de Rechter Rheinstrecke. Deze omgeleide treinen betreffen vaak intermodale treinen van verschillende privaten afkomstig uit Köln Eifeltor, België of Nederland.
Eerder de dag toen we onderweg waren richting Köln Gremberg zagen we op Köln Eifeltor een groene AlphaTrains 193 staan van TXL. TXL heeft in totaal 9 vectrons gehuurd van AlphaTrains welke allemaal een mooie bestickering hebben gekregen. De hoop was dat deze met een omgeleide trein zou passeren. We vermoedden dat de trein snel na onze aankomst zou passeren, aangezien de trein vertrekgereed leek te staan. Helaas kwam de trein maar niet langs en waren we hem eigenlijk al vergeten toen opeens midden op de middag het sein groen toonde richting Troisdorf. Na ongeveer 2 minuten kwam er wat groens door de bocht en werden we alsnog flink verrast.
Te Köln Gremberg komt de TXL 193 553 "Responsibility Driven" voorbij de verraste spotters. Aan de haak heeft ze een omgeleide intermodale trein waarmee ze zojuist is vertrokken uit Köln Eifeltor. De trein is onderweg via de Rechter Rheinstrecke richting Italië!
Friends show their friendship in times of trouble, not in happiness.
Euripides
True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island... to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing. Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity

I take advantage with this last photo of my Iceland trip in 2015 to appeal to responsibility with oneself, with our family, with our friends and with the rest of humanity.
With the confinement of a couple of weeks we can stop the exponential contagion of this invisible enemy: coronavirus.
We have to act with co-responsible form in the face of a totally extraordinary situation that may reach our health system.
Patience, tranquility and a lot of calm. Let those who know organize this unusual war.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aprovecho esta última foto del viaje de Islandia en 2015 para hacer un llamamiento a la responsabilidad con uno mismo, con nuestra familia, con nuestros amigos y con el resto de la humanidad.
Con el confinamiento de un par de semanas podemos frenar el contagio exponencial de este enemigo invisible: coronavirus.
Actuemos de forma corresponsable ante una situación del todo extraordinaria que puede llegar a colapsar nuestro sistema sanitario.
Paciencia, tranquilidad y mucha calma. Dejemos a los que saben que organicen esta guerra inusual.
Landmannalaugar, Iceland. September 2015.

Do you know me?
Really know me?
You have opinions about my opinions
About my music
About my clothes
About my body
Some people hate what I wear
Some people praise it
Some people use it to shame others
Some people use it to shame me
If I wear what is comfortable, I am not a woman
If I shed the layers, I'm a slut
Though you've never seen my body, you still judge it
And judge me for it
Why?
We make assumptions about people based on their size
We decide who they are
We decide what they're worth
If I wear more, if I wear less
Who decides what that makes me?
Is my value based only on your perception?
Or is your opinion of me not my responsibility?
Quality is everyone's responsibility.
W. Edwards Deming
Replacing the trench drain apron at our garage door entrance.
Adulting is hard—really hard. The responsibilities, the pressure to have it all figured out, the quiet battles no one sees—it can all feel overwhelming. But today, you did it. You woke up, faced the day, and kept going, even if it wasn’t perfect. That matters. I’m so proud of you for simply living, for showing up, for being here. You've done so much today <3 You rock!

Am 30.Juli 2022 bespannte die ATLU 193 553 (Werbelok Responsibility Driven) den DGS 43151 von Köln Eifeltor nach Verona Quadrante Europa in Italien für ihren Mieter TXL.
Die Aufnahme enstand südlich St.Goarshausen an der rechten Rheinstrecke (KBS 466).
Der Zug hatte mit ca 1,5 Stunden Verspätung den Loreleytunnel durch fahren und passiert nun die markanten Felsen mit dem Aussichtstempel Leiselfeld nördlich dem Betriebsbahnhof Loreley.
Die schon lange anhaltenden Trockenheit hatte die Natur schon früh im Jahr ausgedöört und sorgt schon viel zu früh für eine fast herbstliche Laubfärbung.
Nun ist es soweit: Die für TXL fahrenden 193 von Alpha Trains dürfen nun auch in Doppeltraktion auf dem italienischen Schienennetz verkehren. Am 30. August 2017 brachte ein Tandem - bestehend aus 193 552 und 551 - den DGS 43107 nach Verona Q.E.. Bei Gutmart konnte ich das giftgrüne Gespann ablichten.
Since a few weeks Alpha Trains' class 193 engines are allowed to drive in double-traction on Italian tracks. At the 30th of August 2017 freight train DGS 43107 was hauled by 193 552 and 551. I took this picture near Gutmart on the track between Munich and Rosenheim.
Free people of a free country!
The 19th day of our resistance is over. Historical war. Another difficult day, which is still approaching our victory. Approaching peace for Ukraine.
As before, the enemy is confused. They did not expect such resistance. They believed in their propaganda, which has been lying about us for decades.They still can't recollect themselves. But they have already begun to understand that they will not achieve anything by war.
Their soldiers know this. Their officers are aware of this. They flee the battlefield. They abandon equipment.
We take trophies and use them to protect Ukraine. Today, Russian troops are, in fact, one of the suppliers of equipment to our army. They could not imagine such a thing in a nightmare.
And I want to tell the Russian soldiers. Those who have already entered our land. And who are just about to be sent to fight against us.
Russian conscripts! Listen to me very carefully. Russian officers! You’ve already understood everything. You will not take anything from Ukraine. You will take lives. There are a lot of you. But your life will also be taken.
But why should you die? What for? I know that you want to survive. We hear your conversations in the intercepts, we hear what you really think about this senseless war, about this disgrace and about your state. Your conversations with each other. Your calls home to your family. We hear it all. We draw conclusions. We know who you are.
Therefore, I offer you a choice. On behalf of the Ukrainian people, I give you a chance. Chance to survive. If you surrender to our forces, we will treat you the way people are supposed to be treated. As people, decently. In a way you were not treated in your army. And in a way your army does not treat ours. Choose!
Our brave defenders continue to inflict devastating losses on Russian troops.
Soon the number of downed helicopters of Russia will reach hundreds of units. They have already lost 80 warplanes. Hundreds of tanks and thousands of other units of equipment.
In 19 days, the Russian army has lost more in Ukraine than in two bloody and years-long wars in Chechnya. For what?
I am grateful to those Russians who do not stop trying to convey the truth. To those who fight disinformation and tell the truth, real facts to their friends and loved ones. And personally to the woman who entered the studio of Channel One with a poster against the war. To those who are not afraid to protest. As long as your country has not completely closed itself off from the whole world, turning into a very large North Korea, you must fight. You must not lose your chance.
The European Union has approved the fourth package of sanctions against Russia. The fourth - and I'm sure not the last.
We are working with partners on new restrictions that will be applied against the Russian state. Everyone who is responsible for the war. Everyone who is responsible for the destruction of democracy. Everyone who is responsible for repression against people. Everyone will get an answer. The answer of the world. And this is just the beginning.
Responsibility for war crimes of the Russian military is inevitable. Responsibility for a deliberate humanitarian catastrophe in Ukrainian cities is inevitable. The whole world sees what is happening in Mariupol. Kharkiv. Chernihiv. Sumy. Okhtyrka. Hostomel. Irpin. In all our cities.
All our partners are informed of the crimes of the invaders against civilians and local self-government in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. In the temporarily occupied areas. There will be an answer for that. Necessarily. For the disrupted humanitarian corridors. Necessarily.
During the day of March 14, 3,806 Ukrainians were evacuated from the cities and towns of the Kyiv and Luhansk regions.
Our convoy with one hundred tons of what is most necessary for Mariupol is still kept in Berdyansk. For three days already. But we will try. We will do everything to ensure that Mariupol residents receive food, water and medicine.
I provided full information about the actions of the invaders on the Ukrainian land in conversations with friends and partners of our state. Every aggressive action of the invaders only pushes the world to new sanctions.
I spoke with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. With President of Poland Andrzej Duda. Prime Minister of Luxembourg Xavier Bettel. We have 100% mutual understanding.
The conversation with Prime Minister of Israel Bennett was also important. As part of a negotiation effort to end this war as soon as possible. With a fair peace.
Our delegation also worked on this in negotiations with the Russian party. Pretty good, as I was told. But let's see. They will continue tomorrow.
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has agreed on a package of decisions to support our economy.
So that business works. So that people have jobs. Where security allows. Where people are ready for it.
First, we are starting tax reform. Instead of VAT and income tax we give a rate of 2 percent of turnover and simplified accounting. For small businesses - this is the first and second group of sole proprietors - we set a voluntary payment of a single tax. That is, if you can - pay. You can't - no questions asked.
The second is maximum business deregulation. We cancel all inspections for all businesses. So that everyone works normally. So that the cities come to life. So that life continues wherever there is no hostilities.
The only condition is that you ensure the normal operation of your business in the framework of Ukrainian law.
These are just the first two steps of our tax reform. To be continued.
And finally.
I have just signed a decree on awarding state awards of Ukraine to 234 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who showed personal courage and heroism in the fight for our land. For our independence. 59 of them posthumously.
May the memory of everyone who gave life for our state live forever!
Eternal gratitude to all our heroes!
Glory to Ukraine!

The Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore (Italian pronunciation: [katteˈdraːle di ˈsanta maˈriːa del ˈfjoːre]; in English "Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flowers") is the main church of Florence, Italy. Il Duomo di Firenze, as it is ordinarily called, was begun in 1296 in the Gothic style with the design of Arnolfo di Cambio and completed structurally in 1436 with the dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink bordered by white and has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De Fabris.
The cathedral complex, located in Piazza del Duomo, includes the Baptistery and Giotto's Campanile. These three buildings are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site covering the historic centre of Florence and are a major attraction to tourists visiting Tuscany. The basilica is one of Italy's largest churches, and until development of new structural materials in the modern era, the dome was the largest in the world. It remains the largest brick dome ever constructed.
The cathedral is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Florence, whose archbishop is currently Giuseppe Betori.
Santa Maria del Fiore was built on the site of an earlier cathedral dedicated to Saint Reparata. The ancient structure, founded in the early 5th century and having undergone many repairs, was crumbling with age, according to the 14th-century Nuova Cronica of Giovanni Villani, and was no longer large enough to serve the growing population of the city. Other major Tuscan cities had undertaken ambitious reconstructions of their cathedrals during the Late Medieval period, such as Pisa and particularly Siena where the enormous proposed extensions were never completed.
Giotto's bell tower (campanile)
The new church was designed by Arnolfo di Cambio and approved by city council in 1294. Di Cambio was also architect of the church of Santa Croce and the Palazzo Vecchio. He designed three wide naves ending under the octagonal dome, with the middle nave covering the area of Santa Reparata. The first stone was laid on September 9, 1296, by Cardinal Valeriana, the first papal legate ever sent to Florence. The building of this vast project was to last 140 years; Arnolfo's plan for the eastern end, although maintained in concept, was greatly expanded in size.
After Arnolfo died in 1310, work on the cathedral slowed for thirty years. When the relics of Saint Zenobius were discovered in 1330 in Santa Reparata, the project gained a new impetus. In 1331, the Arte della Lana, the guild of wool merchants, took over patronage for the construction of the cathedral and in 1334 appointed Giotto to oversee the work. Assisted by Andrea Pisano, Giotto continued di Cambio's design. His major accomplishment was the building of the campanile. When Giotto died in 1337, Andrea Pisano continued the building until work was halted due to the Black Death in 1348.
In 1349, work resumed on the cathedral under a series of architects, starting with Francesco Talenti, who finished the campanile and enlarged the overall project to include the apse and the side chapels. In 1359, Talenti was succeeded by Giovanni di Lapo Ghini (1360–1369) who divided the center nave in four square bays. Other architects were Alberto Arnoldi, Giovanni d'Ambrogio, Neri di Fioravante and Andrea Orcagna. By 1375, the old church Santa Reparata was pulled down. The nave was finished by 1380, and by 1418, only the dome remained incomplete.
On 18 August 1418, the Arte della Lana announced an architectural design competition for erecting Neri's dome. The two main competitors were two master goldsmiths, Lorenzo Ghiberti and Filippo Brunelleschi, the latter of whom was supported by Cosimo de Medici. Ghiberti had been the winner of a competition for a pair of bronze doors for the Baptistery in 1401 and lifelong competition between the two remained sharp. Brunelleschi won and received the commission.
Ghiberti, appointed coadjutator, drew a salary equal to Brunelleschi's and, though neither was awarded the announced prize of 200 florins, was promised equal credit, although he spent most of his time on other projects. When Brunelleschi became ill, or feigned illness, the project was briefly in the hands of Ghiberti. But Ghiberti soon had to admit that the whole project was beyond him. In 1423, Brunelleschi was back in charge and took over sole responsibility.
Work started on the dome in 1420 and was completed in 1436. The cathedral was consecrated by Pope Eugene IV on March 25, 1436, (the first day of the year according to the Florentine calendar). It was the first 'octagonal' dome in history to be built without a temporary wooden supporting frame. It was one of the most impressive projects of the Renaissance. During the consecration in 1436, Guillaume Dufay's motet Nuper rosarum flores was performed. The structure of this motet was strongly influenced by the structure of the dome.
The decoration of the exterior of the cathedral, begun in the 14th century, was not completed until 1887, when the polychrome marble façade was completed with the design of Emilio De Fabris. The floor of the church was relaid in marble tiles in the 16th century.
The exterior walls are faced in alternate vertical and horizontal bands of polychrome marble from Carrara (white), Prato (green), Siena (red), Lavenza and a few other places. These marble bands had to repeat the already existing bands on the walls of the earlier adjacent baptistery the Battistero di San Giovanni and Giotto's Bell Tower. There are two side doors: the Doors of the Canonici (south side) and the Door of the Mandorla (north side) with sculptures by Nanni di Banco, Donatello, and Jacopo della Quercia. The six side windows, notable for their delicate tracery and ornaments, are separated by pilasters. Only the four windows closest to the transept admit light; the other two are merely ornamental. The clerestory windows are round, a common feature in Italian Gothic.
During its long history, this cathedral has been the seat of the Council of Florence (1439), heard the preachings of Girolamo Savonarola and witnessed the murder of Giuliano di Piero de' Medici on Sunday, 26 April 1478 (with Lorenzo Il Magnifico barely escaping death), in the Pazzi conspiracy.

1 November 2020: Update on The Corona Pandemic – Belgium crossed the barrier of 20,000 daily coronavirus infections. At the moment, 6,438 people are hospitalized for covid-19 in Belgium, with 1,105 of them being in intensive care units. The number of infections and the number of hospital admissions are rising so quickly that Belgium announced last Friday that it will activate a lockdown as of Sunday night. Hence, yesterday was the last day of trading before the emergency break to curb the increase of infections becomes effective. I would have expected that people would stay at home and the shops would be empty, but nothing was less true, there were huge crowds in shopping streets and big queues outside retail outlets selling non-essential goods. In summary, crowded shopping streets shamed our country the day before the lockdown becomes effective. Obviously, it didn’t sink in that it is now or never and that this is our last chance to avoid a nationwide tragedy. Why are people ignoring the fact that we are heading for a crash of our healthcare system and that this irresponsible behavior may result that hospitals will soon have to choose who they treat and who they don’t? We need to demonstrate a collective responsibility in combatting the pandemic, if not, we’re heading for a misty future - Damme, Belgium
Not the correct use of this idiom but this Firecrest did seem to have a bowed head which showed off his fiery crest beautifully. Firecrests have more orange in the crown than Goldcrests, especially females which have an all yellow crown stripe in Goldcrest. Here's a male Goldcrest for comparison (he was singing): www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/49755706231/in/photolist
The amount of orange here makes me think this Firecrest is a male. It is the one that frequented the banks of the River Aire near St Aidans back in February.
Back to my title, which is a misquote of the line "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown", from Shakespeare's play Henry IV, Part 2, but used recently by Stormzy. It means that those charged with major responsibility carry a heavy burden that makes it difficult for them to relax. And finally, its scientific name Regulus means "little king" from its crown.
