One of the most atrocious drawings by Pawel Kuczysnki. I hope it does not correspond to reality because it would be really sad and disheartening … even if over time I have admired the reality of the Polish artist’s drawings…
I read that this could probably happen in some communist dictatorships of South America, where they even arrest citizens who try to steal garbage ..

A new TESLA project has arrived, concerning energy storage, but this time with medium-sized modules, called Powerpack, as protagonists. These large batteries were installed, with the collaboration of Ausgrid and the Australian Energy Foundation, in three different locations to function as “neighborhood batteries”. In summary, instead of offering individual citizens a small domestic battery, the Powerwall in Tesla’s case, a larger battery is installed that serves the whole neighborhood, so as to accumulate the excesses of renewable energy production (mainly from photovoltaics). The energy accumulated during the day can therefore be exploited by the community during the night, optimizing the self-consumption of production. It is not known which model was used, whether 100 or 200 kWh. The experiment started in the city of Canterbury Bankstown, in New South Wales, and will last three years, after which the real benefits will be evaluated.
Martin of Tours (Latin: Sanctus Martinus Turonensis; 316 – 8 November 397) was the third bishop of Tours. He has become one of the most familiar and recognizable Christian saints in France, heralded as the patron saint of the Third Republic, and is patron saint of many communities and organizations across Europe. A native of Pannonia (in modern central Europe), he converted to Christianity at a young age. He served in the Roman cavalry in Gaul, but left military service at some point prior to 361, when he became a disciple of Hilary of Poitiers, establishing the monastery at Ligugé. He was consecrated as Bishop of Caesarodunum (Tours) in 371. As bishop, he was active in the suppression of the remnants of Gallo-Roman religion, but he opposed the violent persecution of the Priscillianist sect of ascetics.
The tradition of cutting the cloak
San Martino shares his precious cloak with a poor man, detail of the facade of the Cathedral of Lucca dedicated to the saint
As a circitor, his job was the night patrol and the inspection of the guard posts, as well as the night surveillance of the garrisons. During one of these patrols, the episode took place that changed his life (and which is still today the one most remembered and most used by iconography). In the harsh winter of 335 Martino met a half-naked beggar. Seeing him in pain, he cut his military cloak (the white chlamys of the imperial guard) in two and shared it with the beggar.
The following night he saw in a dream Jesus dressed in half of his military cloak. He heard Jesus say to his angels: “Here is Martin, the Roman soldier who is not baptized, he has clothed me.” When Martin woke up his cloak was intact. The miraculous cloak was kept as a relic and became part of the relic collection of the Merovingian kings of the Franks. The medieval Latin term for “short mantle”, chapel, was extended to the people in charge of keeping the mantle of St. Martin, the chaplains, and from these it was applied to the royal oratory, which was not a church, called a chapel.
In Italy the cult of the saint is linked to the so-called summer of San Martino which manifests itself, in a meteorological sense, at the beginning of November and gives rise to some traditional popular festivals. In the Abruzzo municipality of Scanno, for example, large fires called “glories of San Martino” are lit in honor of San Martino and the districts compete against each other who makes the highest and most durable fire
National Independence Day (Polish: Narodowe Święto Niepodległości) is a national day in Poland celebrated on 11 November to commemorate the anniversary of the restoration of Poland’s sovereignty as the Second Polish Republic in 1918 from the German, Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires. Following the partitions in the late 18th century, Poland ceased to exist for 123 years until the end of World War I, when the destruction of the neighbouring powers allowed the country to reemerge. It is a non-working day and a flag flying day in Poland.
The restoration of Poland’s independence was gradual. The date of 11 November is the one on which Marshal Józef Piłsudski assumed control of Poland. It was a day of military ceremony since 1920. The holiday was constituted in 1937 and was celebrated only twice before World War II. After the war, the communist authorities of the People’s Republic removed Independence Day from the calendar, though reclamation of independence continued to be celebrated informally on 11 November. The holiday was officially replaced by the National Day of Poland’s Revival as Poland’s National Day, celebrated on 22 July anniversary of the communist PKWN Manifesto under Joseph Stalin. In particular, during the 1980s, in many cities, including Warsaw, informal marches and celebrations were held, with the outlawed Solidarity Movement supporters participating. Typically these marches were brutally dispersed by the communist militarized police forces, with many participants arrested by the security police. During this time 11 November Independence Day marches, alongside the Constitution Day on 3 May celebration gatherings, also banned by the communist authorities, were the customary dates of demonstrations by the opponents of the communist regime. As Poland emerged from communism in 1989, the original holiday—on its original 11 November date—was restored.
The date coincides with the celebration of the Armistice in other countries. All of these holidays and Polish Independence Day are indirectly related because they all emerged from the circumstances at the end of World War I. In other countries, holidays were established in the spirit of grief and horror at the enormous human cost of the war, and they mark the sacrifices of those who fought.
Veterans Day (originally known as Armistice Day) is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans who served in the United States Armed Forces (who were discharged under conditions other than dishonorable). It coincides with other holidays including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day which are celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of World War I. Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. At the urging of major U.S. veteran organizations, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.
Veterans Day is distinct from Memorial Day, a U.S. public holiday in May. Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day honors those who had died while in military service. Another military holiday that also occurs in May, Armed Forces Day, honors those currently serving in the U.S. military. Additionally, Women Veterans Day is recognized by a growing number of U.S. states that specifically honor women who have served in the U.S. military.
LYRIC
[Intro]
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
[Verse 1]
I wish, I wish
I could hear you say my name
I wish, I wish
We could do it all again
I wish, I wish
I didn’t have myself to blame
It’s you I miss, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause when I look back at us
I know we almost had it all
But the time wasn’t right
I should have loved you more
But there’s no going back
Still I need you to know that
I’m not who I was before, no
[Chorus]
I think of you every day, every night
You said you needed space
And you needed time
And I want you to know
What I did wasn’t right
Wish I could change your mind
I wish, I wish
[Verse 2]
I wish, I wish
I didn’t say “goodbye” so fast
I wish, I wish
I could take the moment back
I wish, I wish
I cherished everything we had
Boy, it’s you I miss (I)
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause when I look back at us
I know we almost had it all
But the time wasn’t right
I should have loved you more
But there’s no going back
Still I need you to know that
I’m not who I was before, no
[Chorus]
I think of you every day, every night
You said you needed space
And you needed time
And I want you to know
What I did wasn’t right
Wish I could change your mind
I wish, I wish

[Bridge]
It’s not much I’m asking, baby (Not much)
What I gotta do for you to believe me?
If a second chance sounds crazy
Then I don’t know how I’m gonna be
[Chorus]
I think of you every day, every night
You said you needed space
And you needed time
And I want you know
What I did wasn’t right (It wasn’t right)
Wish I could change your mind
I wish, I wish
Oh-woah, woah-oh, I wish
[Post-Chorus]
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo (Oh)

I think of you every day, every night
You said you needed space
And you needed time (Oh)
I want you know
What I did wasn’t right
Wish I could change your mind
I wish, I wish

Funghi basics – 4 — Nature Photography
These bonsai trees in the Portland Japanese Garden were living works of art. We visited the garden in mid-October, when the colors of autumn were beginning to put on their show. The first tree is a Japanese maple and it’s 35 years old. This variety’s foliage changes from green to shades of golden-yellow and red.…
