I’m #reading via #audiobook Devil’s Bride (#book 1/Cynster but 2nd chronologically). I think I first #read this #historical #romance #mystery in 2009 when it was released & have listened to it before, too. When reading on paper or ebook, it’s possible to skip the epically long sex or nearly-sex scenes - pretty sure one of them lasts over 20 pages. This one is neither my favorite nor my least favorite of the Cynsterverse. #books #romancelandia #bookstodon @romancebooks

It's a curious #reality that so many are able to believe in #reincarnation and others remembering past lives, when it comes to those like the #DalaiLama or a small child remembering things and people and places of relatable lives. Someone remembering a life time as no one in particular is easy to accept.
Yet. When people remember knowing #historical figures from years gone by - or even being or seeing through the lives of someone that was considered #famous the disbelief sets in. They must be #crazy or telling stories. Worse yet they must have an agenda or a big #ego issue.
Major #historical sites in two #Ukraine cities are in danger of destruction due to the ongoing war, according to the United Nations' heritage body #Unesco.
They include the iconic Saint Sophia Cathedral in the capital, #Kyiv, and the #medieval buildings of the city's Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra #monastery site.
The #historic centre in the western city of #Lviv has also been placed on Unesco's List of World #Heritage in Danger.

Among 9/11 memories, I refer you to my 2015 essay Packaged Terror, about how ripples of the attack touched me personally, several states away in New Hampshire.
I'm pretty confident that if you have the time, you'll find it an engaging read.
Had I not lived it, I might doubt some of its details myself, but I quite assure you this is a completely true story. And the take-home message is still very relevant today.

#Ancient #Architecture Might Be Key to Creating Climate-Resilient Buildings
Vernacular architecture is a way to use a region's heritage and resources to build strong homes and cities.
by Angely Mercado
"The United States has braved a year of multiple billion dollar weather disasters over the past couple of years. In 2021 alone, there were record-breaking #heatwaves , a #winterstorm that shut down cities across #Texas, multiple #hurricanes, record-breaking #wildfires, #tornadoes and #hail storms. All of which damaged public and private property and harmed people across the country.
"Part of preparing for even more extreme weather to come as a result of the #ClimateCrisis, is investing in resilient #infrastructure–something the current administration has already proposed. While building infrastructure may sound like a feat fit for futuristic technology, around the world climate-proofing has been happening already for centuries in the form of vernacular architecture. This form of architecture is defined by the use of traditional materials native to that particular region.
"According to a report in Oxford Urbanists, there is a possibility of a resurgence of vernacular architecture. Otherwise known as traditional, cultural design methods unique to a particular region, vernacular architecture is an alternative to the 'international style' of Eurocentric homes that took off globally after the first world war. Throughout the 20th century, 'identical skyscrapers, airports, malls and gas stations became icons of modern cities,' the report points out. However, those structures are not always made with climate change in mind, and don’t rely on locally sourced materials or local #cultural knowledge. Those homes were not made for the entire world’s diverse array of weather events like hurricanes, wildfires and tornadoes. Drawing on vernacular architecture could be a way of making our cities more resilient to an ever-changing climate.
"A well-known example of cultural and regional identity through vernacular architecture is #Pueblo architecture. The permanent, attached homes modeled after the cliff dwellings built by the Ancestral Pueblo (#Anasazi) culture first appeared around the year 1150 AD continue to be used by Pueblo peoples today. A common revival of the style called Santa Fe style, a mix of Pueblo architecture and Spanish colonial architecture, can be found in southwestern states like #Arizona and #NewMexico. Pueblo inspired homes that used dried mud often constructed with locally sourced materials. The thick mud walls are great insulation for both extreme heat and are made to protect residents from especially hot days and from cool desert nights.
"Across similarly sweltering Southern US states, vernacular architecture in the form of shotgun houses feature high ceilings for heat to rise up to, doors that are aligned to improve circulation into the home without costly AC bills.
"In some of the most heat-impacted places on the planet, #vernacular architecture is already being used worldwide in response to climate issues. Architects and designers are not just turning to local materials, they’re turning to #historical design to work around energy needs. Traditional #Arabian techniques like #mashrabiya have been incorporated into iconic modern buildings in Abu Dhabi, a city in one of the most heat-threatened countries in the world. Architects in #Morocco, which is especially vulnerable to climate change, have incorporated vernacular design, like large north-facing windows and smaller south-facing windows to bring in natural light while maximizing air flow for natural cooling and ventilation in public buildings like schools.
"'We wanted to retrieve a sense of heritage, but in a modern way,' Moroccan architect Driss Kettani told CNN. 'We tried to use the same (energy-efficient) solutions found in the small earthen towns in the south of Morocco.'
"These techniques can be used anywhere, even areas of the world with less-obvious climate impacts. Chris Lawson, the managing director at UK-based design firm CK Architectural says that the firm has worked in the #Cotswolds area, which is filled with towns that can source their own building materials. Woods used in the homes can come from local #trees that are already adapted for the English weather, which makes them an ideal building material. Builders are able to excavate the local limestone they need to build homes, a climate-friendly alternative to materials that often have to be transported from elsewhere and weren’t built to withstand the local weather.
"'It was incredibly strong, easy to find, a solid insulator from the Great British weather, and environmentally friendly due to no transportation requirements too,' he explains. 'This can be done across the whole world too.'"

2/ casualties that are the most disturbing.
I'm unsure how #historical the story is besides the general historical context and some of the key players.
I generally do some reading on #Wikipedia and elsewhere after watching a historical film. After reading for a bit I walked away with two thoughts:
1. It sounds like Žižka ended up committing atrocities as well.
2. What did Jan #Huss think of the Hussites? He was executed before the full fledged wars.
Have you seen it?

The paper claims that #colonialism has made #ClimateChange more severe. Particularly, #historical & #contemporary forms of colonialism have #contributed to a rise in the susceptibility of particular populations and geographical areas to the impacts of climate change.

Everything about #ADreamOfSplendor is stunning. The sets, the costumes, the music, the actors...yes I am shameless enough to say that the eye candy is a big part of why I am enjoying the show.
Too few #CDramas have this standard. And I wonder why they don't bother reaching this level.
I also love Pan'er, the female lead in this one. Strong, witty, yet flawed ... She's not the typical squeaky-voiced female in a #CDrama I hate so much 😆

#Lenten Stuff - a #16thCentury #ballad by William Elderton.
From MS Ashmole 48.
A good description of #Lent in Tudor England, with complaints (among other things) about an excess of #fish, #leeks and #nettles. It also mentions the traditional figure of #JackaLent, a stuffed effigy, usually made of straw, which was dragged through the streets during Lent, and burned on #PalmSunday.
