Google translation of title and first line: San Stefano al Mare, 2018 In Liguria, the winter is sunny and clear. The air is light, the sunset is long and the darkness is bright.
San Stefano al Mare, 2018
În Liguria, iarna e însorită și senină. Aerul e lejer, apusul e prelung și întunericul e luminos.

Un mic port la Mediterana abia așteaptă să ofere ospitalitate. În toată Italia, lumea e cam ca pe la noi, e ușor să te adaptezi, să devii familiar, să fii curios. Liguria îmi place pentru că e ultima etapă înainte de altceva mult mai diferit, pentru că dincolo de ea e Franța, unde occidentul are alt înțeles.

Acest ultim segment de o sută de kilometri din Italia este printre cele mai cosmopolite ținuturi pe care le-am străbătut. Îmi place să aud vorbindu-se în cât mai multe limbi în jurul meu și, în același timp, să observ cum tradițiile locului sunt venerate.

Amestecul de internațional și local în zone rurale sporește vioiciunea comerțului. În zilele de târg din micile localități ligure din apropierea graniței, Dolceacqua sau Bordighera, șiruri nesfârșite…

Pon di Gar, Francuska – Pont du Gard, France
Google translation of first sentence: In 1958, the overflow of the Gar River caused great damage in the area of the Provencal city of Nimes. The modern railway bridge near Remulen was literally wiped out, but the Pon di Gar, which has been standing a little further upstream for 2,000 years, has withstood the torrent. As soon as the danger passed, everyone rejoiced at the survival of the bridge, built by the ancient Romans (this monumental building is the most important tourist attraction in French Provence, after Mount Saint Michel, visited by more than two million visitors a year), but twentieth-century engineers certainly they felt “beaten” by their ancient colleagues.
Godine 1958. izlivanje rijeke Gar izazvalo je veliku štetu u području provansalskog grada Nima. Moderan željeznički most u blizini Remulena doslovno je zbrisan, ali je Pon di Gar, koji malo dalje uzvodno stoji već 2.000 godina, odolio bujici. Čim je opasnost prošla, svi su se radovali zbog opstanka mosta, koji su izgradili stari Rimljani (ovu monumentalnu građevinum najznačajniju turističku atrakciju u francuskoj Provansi, poslije brda Sen Mišel, obiđe više od dva miliona posjetilaca godišnje), ali su inžinjeri iz dvadesetog vijeka svakako osjećali da su ih antičke kolege “potukli”. Istorijski dokumenti pripisuju izgradnju Pon di Gara, kao i cijelog akvadukta koji je prenosio vodu od izvora Izes (Ucetia) do Nima (Nemausus), ni manje, ni više, nego Marku Agripi, Avgustovom zetu. Poznat po svom inžinjerskom umijeću, Agripa je posjetio Galiju 19. godine p.n.e. i ubrzo, potom, počeli su radovi na džinovskom projektu vodovoda. Vjerovatno završen za vrijeme Trajanove vladavine (od 98 do…

Oh! Barista
The Chicken gambled to get her eggs scrambled The Salmon smoked and generally rambled Jack Cheese did a salsa on corn tortillas The Latte laced whipped cream as panacea. French Press went gourmet as Amaretto Bean ambled. Avocado sat with its balsamic dressing The cabbage went red to see meatballs messing Pumpernickel slapped on some eggs and cheese Only then did my hunger appease As Angus trotted out with Dark Roast brewing..
Nutrias und andere Tiere an heimischen Gewässern
Google translation of first phrase: Nutrias and other animals in local waters
Wenn man etwas Interessantes entdecken will, muss man nicht weit reisen. Ein kleiner Ausflug an die heimischen Gewässer zeigt, wie vielfältig nicht nur die Pflanzenwelt, sondern auch die Tierwelt in unmittelbarer Nähe sein kann und wie friedlich die verschiedenen Tierarten miteinander auskommen. Bei einem Spaziergang an unserem Stadtweiher sah ich zahlreiche Tieren, die sich am Ufer eingefunden hatten: Stockenten, Kanadagänse und Nutrias, alle hatten sich am Ufer versammelt.

Vacation series: episode#6 : Making my very first order!
Hi everyone! Welcome to Little Chef’s Apron! Yesterday was a very exciting day for me.
My mom’s friend gave my very first order! I hadn’t planned that I would sell anything I bake but it seemed like a nice idea when I was preparing yesterday. I had to make 6 frosted chocolate cupcakes.
It was very fun and a new experience for me. My sister had also played a very creative role here. She made a very cute packaging for the cupcakes .
Here is a brief recipe of the cupcakes:
First, I added the curd, sugar, vanilla and oil to a bowl and whisked it well.

Then, I added baking powder and soda to the curd and mixed it. It became frothy and this would help to rise the cupcakes well.

Then I added flour and cocoa powder through a sieve and mixed it with he wet ingredients.

I…

Propriosepsiyon ve İnterosepsiyon nedir?
Google translation of 1st three paragraphs: Beyond the five senses we know, there are 3 more senses, proprioception, interoception and vestibular sense (balance). The proprioceptive sense allows us to perceive our position in space and the movement of our limbs… This sense is about feeling biomechanically… where is my arm, where is my hand etc… Interoception means feeling physiologically inside… Hunger, thirst, fatigue, feeling pain, feeling warm / cold, feeling the heartbeat, itching, tingling feelings are always an interoceptive sensation… This sensation is also effective in the formation of mood… how is your indoor air condition?… what do you feel?… all these emotional colors, bodily sensations come from free nerve endings and stimulate the insula region in the neocortex in the brain…

Bildiğimiz beş duyunun ötesinde 3 duyu daha var, propriosepsiyon, interosepsiyon ve vestibuler duyu (denge)…
Propriyoseptif duyu, bizim uzaydaki konumumuzu ve uzuvlarımızın hareketini algılamamızı sağlar… Bu duyu biomekanik olarak hissetmekle ilgili… kolum nerde, elim nerde vs…
İnterosepsiyon ise kendini içerden fizyolojik olarak hissetmek demek… Açlık, susuzluk, yorgunluk, ağrı hissetmek, sıcaklamak/üşümek, kalp atışını hissetmek, kaşınma, karıncalanma hisleri hep interoseptif duyum… Bu duyum aynı zamanda, duygu durumunun oluşmasında etkilidir… iç hava durumun nasıl?… ne hissediyorsun?… tüm bu duygusal renkler, bedensel hisler serbest sinir uçlarından geliyor ve beyinde neokortekste insula bölgesini uyarıyor…
Kendimizi içeriden biomekanik ve fizyolojik olarak algılamamızı sağlayan ise fasya…
Fasya bir örümcek ağı gibi tepeden tırnağa dıştan içe tüm bedenimizi saran bir bağ doku… içimiz fasya ile dolu… Fasyada 100 milyon serbest sinir ucu var… bu da fasyayı gözden bile daha güçlü bir duyum haline getiriyor… ve bu serbest sinir uçlarının çoğu bağırsaklarda bulunuyor…
