Austria, the country without a National Anthem
The text was written by Paula von Preradovic, one of the few women who wrote songs for the national anthem. On October 22, 1946, a new national anthem was announced, and in short, the Austrian national anthem was all. It is a complete celebration of the country, honoring the mountains and streams that Julie Andrews praised, the sound of music, and the conflicts and struggles that covered the violence of the past.

Brush Strokes
Have you ever stood in front of a painted canvas and truly contemplated the depth of each and every brush stroke? I have. I’ve stood in front of and absorbed exquisite one-of-a-kind masterpieces in various museums. I’ve curiously compared reproductions of paintings locally with a personal twist. Either way, there is something inherently magical and unique in every creation. The colors chosen. The texture. The individual and the collective strokes. Witnessing the finished design and pondering whether its existence was planned, or not. There is something multi-dimensional and otherworldly available in taking the time to absorb and truly appreciate every tiny detail and the visual story the tapestry of paint creates.

Mental check: Finding my purpose in life?
It’s All About You [email protected] You know I travel constantly: moving is my home, so it would be fair to expect me to give more travel tips online. If we talked a bit more, you may remember that I study fashion. If I did speak about myself more than usual, you certainly understood that I don’t do it to wear luxury nor to look distinguished, but because I love art. As an artist, I think and often see life with a deeper meaning than other minds. The thoughts never stop. They run all around my brain, perfectly unable to keep the focus, amazed by every object, place or person. I am aware of everything, but one: what is going on inside the rest of you. What you like and what you hate. What happened that got us drinking a beer on a table hundreds of kilometres away from home. How important or casual this way of living is for you. The kind of human it makes you become.

The Smallest Kindness Redeems
It had been a long day already. A drive that Google maps had said would take six hours in total was already at hour six and we were barely half way to our destination. We had left the geothermal pools of the calcium carbonate mountain Pamukkale in Turkey that morning and I was very irritated. The afternoon before we had a fairly disturbing hotel experience which was scary enough to cause us to leave the hotel immediately after check in and to not return for checkout. The place we found as a replacement was only slightly better and I felt discriminated against and uneasy there as well. Overall the past day and a half had been full of mini-frustrations, mostly due to my own ignorance of the Turkish language. A lack of quality sleep was aggravating the situation badly. I was in a foul mood and was lashing out at even the smallest of perceived injustices. In truth nothing bad had happened, we were never in even the slightest of jeopardy, and nobody had said or done anything of real significance in any way negative to us since we had entered the country two days prior. However, to me it felt as if the whole country was against me. I was being targeted as an American and treated poorly as a result.

When green, ancient Arabia drew early people from Africa
On the Arabian Peninsula, dry sand ridges stretch far into the distance. Nonetheless, another review recommends that these desert districts were once totally different. It's logical they were green with plants. Researchers accept they pulled in early people and enormous creatures, for example, hippopotamuses moving out of the African mainland to remain at antiquated lakes.
