Unsere Dame des Felsens, Montenegro, Perast

Our Lady of the Rock â€“ Our Lady of the Rock lies about 115 m (377 feet) northeast of the island of St. George. The stone plateau in the middle of the sea with a church on it is the result of the enduring efforts of generations of mariners â€œâ€¦ to leave there, in the very heart of the Bay of Boka Kotorska, a testimony of their Christian faith and cultureâ€¦â€ The island was built artificially by scuttling old ships and depositing stones around a small crag. The name of the island derived from the word skrpjel â€“ an old word for a crag. The construction of a sanctuary began in the first century of the Venetian rule. The sanctuary was dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin because this cult (Assunzione della Vergine) was greatly venerated by the Venetians. The original church was built in the mid-15th century and was of modest proportions. Over the centuries, the â€œislandâ€ was constantly enlarged and reinforced by both deposits of stones and scuttled sailing ships until it provided a sufficient base for a bolder architectural undertaking. Most of the present-day church was erected after the great earthquake of 1667 when the original sanctuary was destroyed. It is a single-nave, modestly proportioned church in the Byzantine style.

Asiatischer, asiatischer, indischer Elefant-Essen

The Asian or Asiatic Elephant (Elephas Maximus), also known by the name of one of its subspecies - the Indian Elephant, is one of the two living species of elephant, and the only living species of the genus Elephas. It is the largest living land animal in Asia. The species is found primarily in Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Indochina and parts of Indonesia. It is considered endangered, with between 25,600 and 32,750 left in the wild. This animal is widely domesticated, and has been used in forestry in South and Southeast Asia for centuries and also in ceremonial purposes. Historical sources indicate that they were sometimes used during the harvest season primarily for milling. Wild elephants attract tourist money to the areas where they can most readily be seen, but damage crops, and may enter villages to raid gardens. The Asian elephant is smaller than its African relatives; the easiest way to distinguish the two is that the Asian elephant has smaller ears.

Porolissum - Stadt des römischen Reiches

Porolissum was an ancient Roman city in Dacia (Transylvania in Romania of today). Established as a military camp in 106 during Trajan's Dacian Wars, the city became the capital of the province Dacia Porolissensis in 124. Porolissum is on the footh of Meses Mountainse ridge, the ancient natural border of the empire, fortified after the conqest of Dacia. The ruins of Porolissum are located only 8 km far away from Zalau city (the main city of Salaj County in Transylvania region of Romania country). The fort, initially built of wood on stone foundations (after the second war with Dacians, in 106), was garrisoned with 5000 auxiliary troops transferred from Spain, Gaul and Britain. Even though the name Porolissum appears to be Dacian in origin, archaeologists have so far uncovered no evidence of a Dacian settlement preceding the Roman fort. The city quickly grew through trade with the native Dacians. Although the Romans withdrew from Dacia in 271 under Aurelian, the city was abandoned only in 5th century, archaeological evidence shows that it remained inhabited for several centuries afterwards. The site is one of the largest and best-preserved archaeological sites in modern-day Romania. Porolissum was an ancient Roman city in Dacia (Transylvania in Romania of today).

A chair is a stable, raised surface used to sit on, commonly for use by one person. Chairs often have the seat raised above floor level, supported by four legs. However, a chair can have three legs (in a triangle shape) or could have a different shape depending on the criteria of the chair specifications. A chair without a back or arm rests is a stool, or when raised up, a bar stool. A chair with arms is an armchair and with folding action and inclining footrest, a recliner. The design may be made of porous materials, or be drilled with holes for decoration; a low back or gaps can provide ventilation. The back may extend above the height of the occupant's head, which can optionally contain a headrest.

The potato is a starchy, tuberous crop from the perennial nightshade Solanum tuberosum L. The word `potato` may refer either to the plant itself or to the edible tuber. In the Andes, where the species is indigenous, there are some other closely related cultivated potato species. Potatoes were introduced outside the Andes region approximately four centuries ago, and have since become an integral part of much of the world`s food supply. It is the world`s fourth-largest food crop, following maize, wheat, and rice. The green leaves and green skins of tubers exposed to the light are toxic. Wild potato species can be found throughout the Americas from the United States to southern Chile. The potato was originally believed to have been domesticated independently in multiple locations, but later genetic testing of the wide variety of cultivars and wild species proved a single origin for potatoes in the area of present-day southern Peru and extreme northwestern Bolivia from a species in the Solanum brevicaule complex, where they were domesticated approximately 7,000â€“10,000 years ago. Following centuries of selective breeding, there are now over a thousand different types of potatoes. Over 99% of the presently cultivated potatoes worldwide descended from varieties that originated in the lowlands of south-central Chile, which have displaced formerly popular varieties from the Andes.
