The #park of #CharlottenburgPalace #Berlin is #historically and #biologically significant. The #baroque #garden was first laid out in 1697 by landscape architect #SiméonGodeau, based on French models. Today's #naturalarea behind it is a haven of #biodiversity. In his article on #pioneeringresearch about Berlin's #urbanbiodiversity, G. Popkin (2023) summarizes the increasing interest in #speciesdiversity in #Berlin.

Thermal protection systems and #atmospheric friction have been used #historically 👴 to reduce most of the kinetic energy that needs to be lost prior to landing. #NASA is carrying out thermal imaging infrared sensor data-gathering studies of the SpaceX booster controlled-descent tests that are currently, as of 📆 2014, underway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_atmospheric_entry

#HonorCulture is something you #historically don't want a return of, unless you're one of the #elite - because there's no idiot more useful than the violent idiot.
The type you'd shove on the #FrontLines, into #Coliseum or into the #MillsOfDeath.
The person who lives a life that deprecates the spirit and mind, forgoing any depth or meaning.
Entire societies have been subjugated by the witless oaf, destroying whatever beauty there is for giant, frail egos.

How do you explain that #politically, #historically, societies tend to go the same way - like full stop.
We can go far back, much earlier than #Rome, to see a common pattern whereby a #society has a climax period and then the fall from grace that eventually leads to collapse.
#Modernity in itself is a joke, because the modern promise can't be kept, as it's backed by the same "eternal growth" touted by #empires before the invention of #capitalism, and capitalism just accelerates the problem.

"The custom of "telling the bees" is a charming and ancient #tradition where #beekeepers inform their bees about significant events in their lives, such as deaths, births, marriages, and other major occurrences. This practice is believed to have its roots in #Celtic mythology, where bees were seen as messengers between the human world and the spirit world. The presence of a #bee after a death was thought to signify the #soul leaving the body. The tradition became particularly prominent in the 18th and 19th centuries in Western Europe and the United States.
To tell the bees, the head of the household or the "goodwife" would approach the hives, gently knock to get the #bees' attention, and then softly murmur the news in a solemn tone. This ritual was believed to keep the bees informed and prevent them from leaving the hive or dying. The #custom underscores the deep connection and respect that people #historically had for bees, viewing them as integral members of the household and community. -
What's also #QuiteProblematic is that #Rustington also happens to sit in an #Area that is #Historically #ProneToFlooding; because it also doesn't have very much by way of viable #SeaDefences...
So, #Inevitably, #ShaunGunner's #Future will involve:
#Living in a #Shithole; #Surrounded by #Sewage, which he can neither #Sell, nor get #HomeInsurance for because of the #EscalatingFloodRisk
His #LocalHealthAndSocialCareServices will also #Collapse...

...time to time.
The first one is that we are entering an #ElNiño period.
#Historically, 👉El Niño events have been the primary trigger for global #temperatures records👈 being broken. "The second natural booster one is massive #eruptions of #underwater #volcanos:
The "#Tongan volcanic eruption [is] causing #temperatures to rise.
