Remains of a specific medieval fortress, which was built into four basalt towers, which are the remains of an ancient volcano. It was a guard castle with a large tower, which stood high above the landscape with a great outlook at the delta of Elbe river, an important trade route at that time. The original wooden castle stood at least in the 11th Century, and was modified to a stone castle sometimes in the 12th Century. It was expanded in the late 14th Century, attacked in 1444 and damaged, improvized repairs have been done but in the next year another enemies burned the castle down and killed all the men defending it (they were buried under the castle in a mass grave, which is still there). The castle is mentioned as abandoned in 1515, but the buildings under the core were used until WW2. Most of the stone walls sacked down the hill, creating still visible debris fields, today the basalt towers are pretty well accessible, and it is possible to climb to the highest point and have a beautiful look around the landscape.

The best way to accomplish something is to set a goal or multiply goals. This way you can visualize what you want and be more determined to achieve it. The best way to set goals is demonstrated through S.O.P.F.I.T.T. This principle outlines the seven steps you should take when making goals for yourself.
1.Specificity – make sure that you know exactly what muscle you want to work on. This is usually your weakest or strongest muscles based on the type of fitness you want.
2.Overload – this is where you decide how hard you want to push yourself. You need to work your body hard to see an improvement.
3.Progression – is the process of gradually increasing the load your body takes in
4.Frequency – how often you work on your goal. Make a specific day and time so that you can get into a routine and even continue it after your goal is complete.
5.Intensity- is the level of effort that you put into your workout. Don’t push yourself too hard, but the body needs to be stressed to show improvement.
6.Time – is the length of your workout. It is recommended to exercise for at least 15 minutes to get a complete workout.
7.Type – the type of exercise you want to do to reach your goal

'Cabalga, cabalga, cabalga' es una intervención site specific que ha realizado Teresa Solar (Madrid, 1985) para el programa #AbiertoxObras que tiene lugar en la antigua cámara frigorífica del que fue el matadero de Legazpi.
Solar presenta aquí una gran cabalgata de formas escultóricas similares, arcos continuos que varían en tamaño y simbología y que dejan entrever la geografía creativa de la artista. El significado de la instalación emerge no tanto de la individualidad de cada objeto como de su relación con el conjunto.
La artista reflexiona así acerca de la idea de tránsito y crecimiento, con una pieza que se sitúa entre la disposición morfológica razonada de los museos de anatomía y el almacén accidental y caótico de un parque de atracciones: "un paisaje vacilante que crece más como las ramificaciones caóticas de un arbusto que como las ramas definidas de un árbol genealógico", según sus palabras.
El trabajo de Teresa Solar se materializa en obras audiovisuales y escultóricas, en las que los lenguajes de las dos disciplinas se conectan e interactúan. Muchos de los elementos que utiliza, como decorados y atrezzo para sus películas, funcionan posteriormente como esculturas y viceversa. Teresa Solar explora por tanto la doble naturaleza de estas formas, a través de la mirada parcial de la cámara y, posteriormente, con una nueva entidad en la sala.
Abierto x Obras, en Matadero Madrid, es un programa de intervenciones site specific que invita a artistas a realizar una pieza de nueva producción incentivando el carácter experimental de la creación contemporánea a través de planteamientos que exploran la relación entre el arte y el lugar que lo acoge, la antigua cámara frigorífica del Matadero.
Del 16 de febrero al 29 de julio de 2018. De martes a viernes de 16 a 21 horas. Sábados, domingos y festivos de 11 a 21 horas. Entrada libre.
A further tour to Fourvière, Lyon, France for a specific visit of l'Antiquaille on October 20, 2022. I did also a new Kodak Tri-X film with my Zorki-4K camera and its Jupiter-8 1:2 f=50 mm normal lens.
The Zorki was loaded with the Kodak Tri-X (TX) exposed for 400 ISO using a Minolta Autometer III lightmeter fitted with a 10° viewfinder for selective measuring privileging the shadows. After exposure the film was processed at 20°C using Tetenal Ultrafin developer at dilution 1+10 for 9min.
Théâtres romains, October 20, 2022

France
After process the film was digitalized using a Sony A7 body and a Minolta Slide Duplicator with a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5.
After several films, and the range finder adjusted, I found the Zorki-4K very pleasant to use. The camera is clearly very reliable and the film smoothly advanced and rewound. I equipped the lens with a FOCA UV-protection filter (Made in France) and the hood of my Focaflex. All views are presented either framed or full-size.
About the camera :
This camera was manufactured in 1977 by KMZ company ( Красногорский механический завод, Krasnogorskiy Mechanicheskiy Zavod) located in the Moscow region. KMZ also manufactured the ZENIT SLR's among many other productions. Zorki 4K was produced between 1972 to 1978 and the previous Zorki models were inspired by the Leica II since 1949. This model 'Made in USSR" is branded in roman characters, intentionally for exportation. Other Zorki 4K were also branded in Cyrillic as "Зоркий". Zorki 4K was sold basically either with this Jupiter-8 lens 1:2 f=50mm or the Industar lens1:3.5 f=50mm. The Jupiter-8 is a Sonnar Zeiss optical formula and fits to the Zorki body using the screwing M39 Leica mount.
Its was sold to me in August 2022 from Austria with its original ever-ready leather bag, a front lens cap and a small shade hood accessory Minolta D42KA. The shade hood and filter of my Focaflex also fit to the Jupiter lens (Leica standard 42 mm filter)
This is an SCD recipe.
Organic Lives (www.organiclives.com) chocolate macaroons are quite literally the best things I've ever had the joy of putting in my mouth. I miss them. A lot. They contain cocoa powder, agave and maple syrups, which are sadly not allowed on the SCD.
So I decided to try and make my own damn macaroons.
They have unsweetened shredded coconut, coconut flour, lime zest/juice and honey.

Roger Raveel (1921 - 2013, Machelen-aan-de-Leie) is a Flemish post-expressionist painter, graphic artist, ceramicist and maker of objects. His work is difficult to classify under a specific art movement. Raveel himself thought that his first mentor was actually the Italian painter, sculptor and architect Giotto. In the early 1950s he became acquainted with painters of the Cobra group, such as Karel Appel and Corneille. In the second half of the 1950s he evolved towards a more abstract painting that has its roots in experiencing the organic, the vegetative, the animate. However, he wants to take very different paths with his painting. In 1962 he spends three months in Italy, after which he wants to establish a direct dialogue between art and reality, his 'New Vision'. Raveel's style is characterized by the mixture of abstract and figurative painting. Sometimes mirrors or objects are part of his paintings or they are themselves three-dimensional objects. A typical characteristic of Raveels' work are white squares: they represent voids or absence. Motifs in bright, vital colors were sometimes outlined with dark outlines.
Title of the work: Red earth.
This work can be admired in the Roger Raveel Museum in Machelen-aan-de-Leie (Zulte, Belgium): www.rogerraveelmuseum.be/en
Roger Raveel (1921 - 2013, Machelen-aan-de-Leie ) is een Vlaams postexpressionistisch kunstschilder, graficus, keramist en maker van objecten. Zijn werk is moeilijk onder een specifieke kunststroming onder te brengen. Zelf vond Raveel dat zijn eerste mentor eigenlijk de Italiaanse schilder, beeldhouwer en architect Giotto was.In het begin van de jaren 1950 leerde hij schilders van de Cobragroep kennen, zoals Karel Appel en Corneille kennen. In de tweede helft van de jaren 1950 evolueerde hij naar een meer abstracte schilderkunst die haar wortels heeft in het beleven van het organische, het vegetatieve, het animale. Hij wil echter heel andere wegen op met zijn schilderkunst. In 1962 verblijft hij drie maanden in Italië, waarna hij een directe dialoog tot stand wil brengen tussen kunst en werkelijkheid, zijn 'Nieuwe Visie'. Raveel’s stijl wordt gekenmerkt door de mengeling van abstract en figuratief schilderen. Soms maken spiegels of objecten deel uit van zijn schilderijen of zijn het zelf driedimensionale objecten. Een typisch kenmerk van Raveels’ werk zijn witte vierkanten: die stellen leegtes voor of afwezigheid. Motieven in felle, vitale kleuren werden soms met donkere contouren afgelijnd.
Dit werk is te bewonderen in het Roger Raveelmuseum in Machelen-aan-de-Leie ( Zulte, België ): www.rogerraveelmuseum.be/

Son travail est difficile à classer dans un mouvement artistique spécifique. Raveel lui-même croyait que son premier mentor était en fait le peintre, sculpteur et architecte italien Giotto. Au début des années 1950, il rencontra des peintres du groupe Cobra, tels que Karel Appel et Corneille. Dans la seconde moitié des années 1950, il évolue vers une peinture plus abstraite qui trouve ses racines dans l'expérience de l'organique, du végétatif, de l'animé. Cependant, il souhaite emprunter des chemins très différents avec sa peinture. En 1962, il passe trois mois en Italie, après quoi il veut établir un dialogue direct entre l'art et la réalité, sa «Nouvelle Vision». Le style de Raveel se caractérise par le mélange de peinture abstraite et figurative. Parfois, des miroirs ou des objets font partie de ses peintures ou sont eux-mêmes des objets en trois dimensions. Les carrés blancs sont une caractéristique typique du travail de Raveel: ils représentent des vides ou des absences. Des motifs aux couleurs vives et vitales étaient parfois soulignés de contours sombres.

Ailuropoda melanoleuca
Despite its taxonomic classification as a carnivore, the Giant Panda has a diet that is primarily herbivorous, which consists almost exclusively of bamboo. However, the Giant Panda still has the digestive system of a carnivore, as well as carnivore-specific genes, and thus derives little energy and little protein from consumption of bamboo. Its ability to digest cellulose is ascribed to the microbes in its gut. The average Giant Panda eats as much as 9 to 14 kg (20 to 30 pounds) of bamboo shoots a day. Because the Giant Panda consumes a diet low in nutrition, it is important for it to keep its digestive tract full. The limited energy input imposed on it by its diet has affected the panda's behavior. The Giant Panda tends to limit its social interactions and avoids steeply sloping terrain in order to limit its energy expenditures.
Two of the panda's most distinctive features, its large size and its round face, are adaptations to its bamboo diet. Panda researcher Russell Ciochon observed that: “[much] like the vegetarian gorilla, the low body surface area to body volume [of the giant panda] is indicative of a lower metabolic rate. This lower metabolic rate and a more sedentary lifestyle allow the giant panda to subsist on nutrient poor resources such as bamboo.” Similarly, the Giant Panda's round face is the result of powerful jaw muscles, which attach from the top of the head to the jaw. Large molars crush and grind fibrous plant material.
Panda eating bambooTwenty-five species of bamboo are eaten by pandas in the wild, such as Fargesia dracocephala[21] and Fargesia rufa. Only a few bamboo species are widespread at the high altitudes pandas now inhabit. Bamboo leaves contain the highest protein levels; stems have less.
Because of the synchronous flowering, death, and regeneration of all bamboo within a species, the Giant Panda must have at least two different species available in its range to avoid starvation. While primarily herbivorous, the Giant Panda still retains decidedly ursine teeth, and will eat meat, fish, and eggs when available. In captivity, zoos typically maintain the Giant Panda's bamboo diet, though some will provide specially formulated biscuits or other dietary supplements

Error And Omission Insurance Quotes For Insurance Brokers
Whenever you are searching for Errors and Omissions agents, there are specific points that you must consider if you are planning to find the correct individuals to sell you insurance plan. Since several people make pricey errors with regards to selecting the right Errors and Omissions insurance plan, we have created one small post which you can use like a guideline.
1. Search specifically for E&O insurance agents
Your regional insurance plan guy may not be the best individual to offer you Errors and Omissions insurance plan. The majority of insurance providers would not be exclusively dedicated to Errors and Omissions, but instead will have numerous real estate as well as injury agents. Errors and Omissions insurance coverage is a particular set of skills. An insurance agent must appear in and check out your workplace, your workers, the type of customers which you interact and some other factors prior to he may evaluate the degree of danger which you might encounter. Having the degree of danger, he could after that figure out your insurance premiums.
2. Search as well as contrast
Whenever you are looking at shopping around, you must deal with E&O agents similar to any other agents. There are a few who are inexpensive, however that doesn't imply that they are bad; other people are costly however this doesn't imply that they are excellent. The best errors and omissions insurance broker is the person who offers you the widest insurance for the ideal cost. It means that you must obtain rates from many prior to you hire one of them.
3. Examine legal history
You should by no means purchase any type of insurance policy, whether E&O or P&C without examining the length of time it requires an insurer to pay insurance claims. Errors and Omissions is an element of insurance which can't wait; it's not similar to automobile insurance or home insurance which you could wait a couple of weeks before pay out. E&O needs quick reply - your insurance provider must avail funds instantly to fund your defense and court expenses. When you have to pay for compensation, the cash must be available instantly.
The easiest way to figure out if an organisation is litigious is to go online. Sign in online forums where individuals talk about these kinds of subjects and request them who's excellent and who isn't excellent. You may also ask the errors and omissions agents whom you talk with the span of time they require to come through whether this is agreed in the agreement which you sign with them.
4. See the terms and conditions
What gets many people into difficulty with regards to all sorts of insurance plan is the contract details. They don’t analyse it carefully enough to make certain that what's written is what they are searching for. Should things get wrong later on, it will be difficult to get restitution. Read through each and every document in the Errors and Omissions insurance plan that you select.
Real estate and Casualty Agents are among the leading Errors and Omissions agents, and they have the attributes which we have outlined here. To get your quest for the best insurance agent brief, give them a call or send them an email immediately for a quotation.

Babui (baya weaver) birds make a nest on a tree in Haryana, just outskirts of the Delhi.
With the reduction of specific trees in the country, the birds are losing their habitats.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Read this extinction story from Neighboring Country of ours. Same is happening everywhere
( www.daily-sun.com/post/417327/Stop-extinction-of-Babui-th... )
Babui or baya, the little bird whose genius of making grass-made homes considered a miracle and in the words of poet Rajanikantha Sen no less than “mansion,” was slowly becoming rarer in Bangladesh due to ecological changes and could lead to its extinction unless urgent steps are taken to save the species, experts said.
The nests of weaver birds hanging from palm trees was a common scene along with the bucolic beauty of Bangladesh and many collected them to decorate their homes. Even textbooks carried information or stories about the Babui, signifying the happiness of liberty and industrious attitude.
In Rajanikantha Sen’s Swadinatar Sukh (the joy of independence) poem, he writes-
Says the Sparrow to the Weaver Bird
“Look where I live – a mansion, no less!
While your nest barely shields you from the wind and the rain.
Yet you prize it as art?”
The Weaver Bird smiles, “There is no doubt,
that my nest sways in the slightest wind,
but I live in it gladly,
for unlike the mansion you share with humans my house is mine and mine alone
Experts said due to rapid ecological changes the Babui bird is gradually becoming extinct.
Bird experts narrated two major reasons including manmade and natural reason. They said that continuous deforestation, poaching and lack of palm trees have pushed away this crafting bird to the verge of extinct.
They apprehended that if natural balance gets jeopardised, many species including the weaver bird, may soon become a part of history.
Babui builds their exceptional home, said to be the only of its kind in the nature, by weaving collected grass which hangs from the leafs of palm trees
They make home in a group on the same tree and the most amazing part of these grass-made homes are its two or three windows or doors for their access, light and ventilation —- indeed a miracle of their genius nature.
Babui crafts their nest in dividing two parts. In one portion they lay eggs and bring up its offsprings in the other part, which basically has the hole used as a door.
They collect dry grass, but not all kinds, but those which are light in weight and longer than most other varities of grass.
Alongside its architect characteristics, it is said that Babui use to catch fireflies, lightning bugs, at night to get lighten up their hanging nest on top of the palm trees.
According to the books and bird experts, three kinds of Babui have been seen in Bangladesh which locally called as Deshi Babui, Dagi Babui and Bangla Babui.
Not only Babui, Bangladesh once was the house of many varieties of birds with different kinds, sizes, colours and habitual aspects. Being a big part of natural ecology, birds are not only an ornamental species of environment, but their necessity in maintaining the balance of nature and environment is a recognised factor.
Experts stressed for undertaking a pragmatic approach of concerned government departments so that this kind of beautiful birds do not become extinct.

Photographic techniques capture electromagnetic wavelengths beyond human vision, revealing features invisible to the naked eye. These signals are processed into interpretable forms using methods like color mapping.
Pink lacks a specific electromagnetic wavelength, while grey poses a limitation due to its representation of only intensity—a blend of light and dark without spectral specificity. Imaging techniques reliant on spectral variation produce identical results for greyscale images unless non-visible data is present. Deviations from this uniformity may indicate errors, misinterpretations, or unknown phenomena.
Contention persists over analytical debates, including dismissible claims like Van Allen belt dangers and contested evidence of lunar mirrors. The precision of laser reflections targeting a moving 3x3-foot marker on the Moon highlights technical skill but often fails to resolve skepticism. For instance, a 0.1° shift moves a laser spot 670 km across the Moon's surface.
Forensic analysis (2022, 2023) of Apollo 11–17 photographs assessed authenticity claims. Images of humans in space, Earth, and the Moon's distant views were validated, but Moon landing visuals showed variations, suggesting diverse techniques may have replicated certain elements.
PEMi (Photoelectromagnetic Image) software enhances forensic analysis by differentiating natural and artificial light sources, revealing hidden features. Each PEMi-ID links to original sources, ensuring traceability and comparison.

The specific name, "pectinicornis", means "comb-horned". The common name was coined based on typical seasonal occurrence in the east, in contrast with the "Spring Fishfly", C. rastricornis.
Both sexes have pectinate antennae, from Latin pectin, the linguistic stem of pecten, a comb.
Found in eastern and central North America, including southern Canada near ponds, lakes, and the quiet part of streams. Adults come to lights.
The larvae are aquatic and eat a variety of food, including preying on other invertebrates. Leaving the water to pupate under park or inside rotting logs, adults emerge to mate, living perhaps a week. Life cycle may just be one year but is not known for sure.

FORD RANGER 1996 – 2009 YEAR – SPECIFIC SERVICE WORKSHOP REPAIR MANUAL t.co/IpD9i1ZU1X t.co/CTNfZPHq6L (via Twitter twitter.com/ManualsPRO/status/806536987004047360)
This is the emblem for America's National Park Service (NPS), a government agency responsible for many specific types of parks. The sign is on display at Mammoth Cave National Park, in west-central Kentucky. Mammoth Cave was established in 1941 and is the 26th national park in the system.
The NPS is in charge of the following types of units: national parks, national monuments, national lakeshores, national seashores, national preserves, national reserves, national rivers, national recreational rivers, national scenic rivers, national riverways, national wild rivers, national recreation areas, national historic sites, national historic parks, national historical reserves, national parkways, national battlefields, national battlefield parks, national battlefield sites, national military parks, national memorials, and national scenic trails (it's obvious that bureaucrats are in charge of these designations - lots of unnecessarily redundant labels).
The park service is not in charge of national forests, national grasslands, national resource lands, national wildlife refuges, or national volcanic monuments.
True national parks can only be established by the legislative branch of America's federal government (i.e., the Senate + the House of Representatives = "Congress"). The first national park in America was Yellowstone in Wyoming, back in 1872.
National parks are public land - they belong to everyone. But the park service has a contradictory mandate to provide access for the benefit of the people and for certain types of recreation, plus preserving scenery, nature, historic sites, and archaeological sites. Because of this, the park service denies access to many specific areas in quite a few national parks.
Over 120 countries have national parks and there are over 1,000 national parks in the world.
Problems in national parks include overcrowding and overuse, which are consequences of global human overpopulation (the # 1 environmental problem on Earth is not climate change - it's human overpopulation; the carrying capacity of Earth may be about 1 billion only). Chronically overcrowded parks in America include Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Yellowstone, and Mammoth Cave. Private vehicles are mostly prohibited in some parks due to overcrowding (e.g., Zion and Yosemite).
Other problems associated with national parks include development at & near park boundaries, poorly thought-out fire policies, poor visibility (air pollution), and vandalism.
Unlike national parks, national monuments can be established by the executive branch of America's federal government. The first national monument in America was Wyoming's Devils Tower, which was established in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt. Many true national parks were formerly national monuments.
Name changes and label changes have occurred with several NPS units. Some units no longer exist, like Fossil Cycad National Monument - vandals (scum) stole and/or wrecked all the fossils that were present.
Most national parks and national monuments are nature-based, but some are not.
