Описание:

The beauty of art is necessary for happiness.

In everyday life the arts give that extra dimension to life that makes it a great adventure.

The art and design in buildings, city planning, gardens and parks, roads, bridges - everything that we use daily contributes to a happy and fulfilling life.

Ugly buildings, sloppy design, poor quality workmanship, littering and defacing contributes to a miserable life.

Why would you want a miserable life? Why would you want to impose a miserable life on others?

Hokusai was not only a truly great artist.

He also sent a message to common people, who could afford to buy his low cost prints.

He conveyed the beauty of majesty, the mount Fujijama, in life.

He conveyed the beauty of scenery - he said to people - look around you and see and enjoy the beauty of the scenery.

He conveyed the beauty of a good human life - the craftmanship in making the timber, building the boat, fishing, growing tea, enjoying tea with the scenery.

The 36 Views of Mt Fuji are religious prints. But different from the typical Christian religious motif the humans are not shown focused on the diety all the time, even if Mt Fuji is shown to have a pervading influence on their lives.

The admiration and worship of Mt Fuji is often shown as incidental - a single traveler of the group casting a glance at the majestic mountain while the others are busy with the many other things to do. In other words a very realistic rendition on how the divine is taking part in everyday life.

Описание:

Europe has many wonderful old traditions, and one of them is the Christmas market.

The Christmas market in Ljubljana, Slovenia has made it to the top 10 in Europe. It is because of the many activities taking place there.

Christmas markets became a tradition in German speaking lands and ushered in the four week church festival of Advent. In nearby Munich, Germany the Christmas market is first mentioned in 1310.

It is traditionally held in the town square and the market has food, drink and seasonal items from open-air stalls accompanied by traditional singing and dancing.

The Festive Market in Ljubljana takes place along the Ljubljanica river but the whole town center is incorporated in a gigantic light experience.

Описание:

Nativity is a scene from the stories of the birth of Jesus. They are in the
Gospels of Matthew and Luke. With inspiration in these stories you use either figurines or live people to create the scene and convey the story.
In Slovenia you find on of the finest live Nativity plays in the famous
Postojna Cave

One of the wonderful traditions of Christmas is the Nativity. But you don't have to be Christian or a regular church-goer to love these wonderful displays. The creativity and artistry speak to all children and to the child in us all.

These scenes excite especially the children. Their happy smiles and their joy is so wonderfully rewarding. But adults as well enjoy both creating and looking at the nativity scenes.

This has developed into a huge handicraft industry in countries like Spain and Italy. Artists and craftsmen work all year round to create their next exhibits, which are sold especially at Christmas markets.

Families collect figurines and accessories from the markets and create their own displays at home. Churches, beginning with the Vatican, and cities and other institutions create their own annual exhibits that are venerated and celebrated.

This little book shows you some of the nativity performances we have seen and some of the figurines and accessories that you can find in the various Christmas markets and shops in Slovenia.

Nativity is today a Catholic tradition, separated in many countries from official society as Christianity does no longer have the same central function, although the European values and norms are deeply steeped in Christianity. Although Slovenia is a mainly secular country, Catholicism and Lutheranism still has a huge influence.

We show you also some alternative displays, usually with music that make the children, and adults, happy. What was striking was the ambience and the food. Everybody was out eating and celebrating

In Catalonia you can enjoy the most wonderful cakes - Catalan Pastis - some of which have a unique local character developed with proud traditions. History and politics are briefly commented.

Catalan Pastis is the third volume in our series World of Cakes.

In Luxembourg - A Piece of Cake we toured the incredible cake shop world in tiny Luxembourg. The variety far exceeds what you would expect in a country smaller than Rhode Island. The book was an unplanned accident.

In Florida Cakes we continued the habit of taking pictures of some of the cakes we purchased. Our life took us to the sunny beaches of Florida for a while. The cake designs in Florida are just incredible.

Now back in Europe we had business in Spain and especially in Catalonia, which we enjoyed during a number of months.

Again, we took advantage of its uniquely enjoyable cake shops - bombonierie - making the most wonderful cakes - pastis in Catalan - some which are not found elsewhere.

There must be at least one thousand cake shops and cafes in Barcelona alone serving these great specialities.

We will try to discover some of the secrets behind this formidable variety and quality of Catalan pastis - Catalan cakes. You will be surprised

We very much hope you will enjoy the tour and will take the opportunity to visit Spain and Catalonia yourself one day

Many thanks to Concha Marchante of the Servei de Pesca Continental in Barcelona and Professor Emili Emili Garcia-Berthou from the University of Girone for their kind assistance with very interesting information on the fish in the Tordera River.

Europe has many wonderful old traditions, and one of them is the Christmas market.

The December market in Vienna is recorded since 1298, but Innsbruck was actually founded as a market in a field already in 1133 and it could be argued that the December market here would be even older.

The wonderful Tyrolian atmosphere makes this a must for anyone enjoying the Christmas markets.

Innsbruck is the capital of Austria's western state of Tyrol. It is a city in the Alps that's long been a destination for winter sports. It hosted the Olympics several times - 1964 and again in 1976.

It is the fifth largest town in Austria with 133.000 inhabitants. It is a youthful town with a university.

Innsbruck is also known for its Imperial and modern architecture.

Everyone ran down to the quay side to take pictures and video with their smartphones, when the dolphins appeared.

People were absolutely mesmerized by the dolphins. Here in Florida they love their wild animals and there were a lot of them on Treasure Island.

The birds we had most interaction with were the crows. They were smaller than we were used to, so they must be Fish Crows. They woke us up every morning as the sun rose, like roosters.

We tried the small toy crow we bought, with actual voice recording on them. The Fish Crows could understand the recorded message, but it was obviously a dialect.

We were amateur Europeans in this Florida paradise. We hope readers will forgive and correct any identifications we got wrong.

We only write about the species we actually encountered here, so don't look for alligators..

The book is illustrated with own pictures

Описание:

Tesla is valued higher than both General Motors and Ford on the stock exchange, although Tesla has only reported a profit in 3 quarters since 2016. Clearly investors expect Elon Musk to deliver outstanding results, far above the standard 3 pct return in the staid automotive manufacturing business.

Elon Musk has revolutionized the way we make cars. It has not been all a smooth ride. The company almost went under again in early 2018. Elon Musk worked 22 hours a day and slept on the factory floor, trying to resolve production problems with the new Model 3.

Out went all the highly automated German production line and instead Tesla started from scratch, assembling the Model 3 by hand, and slowly introducing new less advanced automation.

Elon Musk saved the company. Together with his staff of 46,000 employees. In November 2018 production of Model 3 reached 1,000 per day, and this is well on the way to the promised goal of 500,000 Model 3 cars a year.

In the meantime USA entered a trade war with China. China introduced crippling tariffs on American made Teslas. Again, Elon Musk took a quick decision and broke ground on a new Gigafactory in Shanghai, China in January 2019. The plan is to produce a million cars here. The Chinese market is 22 million cars a year, so the ambitious goal is not unrealistic.

Elon Musk is a genius As all geniuses he has his quirks, but that goes for lesser folk as well The author wishes Tesla and Elon Musk all the best of luck
