Beautiful Moroccan Mirrors and Sconces Which Add an Ethnic Flavour to Any Room

You wizzley can be characterized as a most welcome elucidatingly anthropological, cultural, philosophical approach to a product line!

Your first subheading, Moroccan mirrors, considers in its first paragraph camel bone, wood and wrought iron as traditional supports to their mirrors.

The third paragraph explains that "The craftsman may use a range of colours when painting the mirror's frame or doors, it's not uncommon to find hues of red or green or blue together. Having said that, colours which reflect light are also used frequently, which is why many Moroccan mirrors will have silver or gold frames, helping to cast even more light back into the space."

The article Exploring the rich colour palette of Morocco by Katie Dalrymple-Hamilton Feb. 19, 2024, for Exceptional Travel, features as religious colors black, blue, green, ochre, red and white.

Camel bone guards the religious color white, for cleanliness, purity and spirituality of mosques and religious ceremonies.

Might wood and wrought iron qualify as spiritually-colored black?
The aforementioned article reveals nothing about the religious-color symbolism of black even as other internet sources refer to that color as the ultimate divine-ness because of the colorlessness of their God!

Electric Car Ownership, Air Pollution, Environmental and Public Health

The computer crashed before I commenced another component to my observation and my question in the comment box immediately below.

Scotland developed the first electric vehicle (EV) in 1830. Battery storage capacity emerged as its -- and all other EVs then to now -- biggest challenge. Recharging rates and recharging-station availability furnish competitively, concomitant secondary challenges.

Lars Hanson, in the article Car and driver: Worth the watt: a brief history of the electric car, 1830 to present, dated July 25 and copyrighted 2024 for the Groups.io website, groups hybrid vehicles with own charging energies albeit run electrically as the face of non-gas-driven car development even as the EV holds the future.

A reason is battery improvements, from lead-acid batteries with typical 50 to 100 watt hours per kilogram of weight (50-100 Wh/kg). Why might Tesla move from nickel-cobalt-aluminum chemistry for all EVs to lithium-iron-phosphate chemistry for standard-range EVs even as it maintains nickel-cobalt-aluminum battery chemistry for longer-range EVs?

Lithium batteries nudge typical 260 to 270 watt hours per kilogram of weight (260-270 Wh/kg)!

The Chinese electric car manufacturer Nio offers EVs with 360 Wh/kg energy-dense batteries!

Personally I think that zoos are not a good place to find pet sentients because of the unnatural environment that these animals are kept in. Although we as humans try are best to look after these animals, we are falling short. For example, in London zoo, the african wild dogs are well fed and are a little overweight! These animals in their natural environment would be lean and fit due to the chase of the prey.

How To Use Equine Photography For Mental Health Therapy

From what I've seen, it is the tiny dogs that ride. I've yet to see one of the bigger breeds! Terrier breeds are usually found riding and I think they have exceptional balance and they also sit in the curve of the back. One example is here on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaxjZYaJdXI

Boosting Productivity for Financial Success and Personal Development

The computer crashed before I concluded another component to my observation and question in the comment box immediately below.

Self-controlling, self-motivating, self-questioning, self-visualizing direct one toward reasons for and results from doing what one does proactively productively, not reactively (nonproductively).

The last-sentence quote above about identifying "patterns in ways that you can use to make better decisions" is perhaps among the most impacting and significant of all the many impacting, significant statements in the book.

Those patterns include how other people influence what one intends.

So memorizing necessary information, noting gain-loss and inflow-outflow patterns and self-talking, self-writing not only one's own data-, event-, idea-interacting but also people-interacting mindsets, priorities and results move self-controlling, self-motivating, self-questioning, self-visualizing into maintaining that when decision-making must be communal, more than just oneself, mightn't it?

Thank you for your comment below, in answer to my previous observation and question.

Unitedstatesian zoos sometimes sell older animal sentients.

Would zoos be a source of pet sentients in the British Isles?

How To Use Equine Photography For Mental Health Therapy

Thank you for your comments below in answer to my previous observations and questions.

Your answer three boxes down that "Cats and horses, yes! Also dogs, too. Both will ride on the horse's back" intrigues me.

Book, internet and magazine images and my first neighbor's horse Bullseye here serve as examples known to me of feline sentients atop equine-sentient backs, but not of canine sentients.

How would puppy and grown-up dogs stay on horse backs? Would they just sit like on a floor or would they gently dig a claw somewhere into the back skin as something like a steadying attachment?

Winter into Spring

Thank you for your comment Jan. 13, 2024, in answer to my previous, previous-day observation and question Jan. 12, 2024.

Your description 11 comment boxes down, on Feb. 26, 2016, that "my house does not have a garden so I have a container garden in the back yard" catches my attention.

Does a container garden have just pots lined, perhaps against the back wall of your house? Or is there something such as a stretch of grass or of gravel sharing the space?

Unitedstatesian back yards with container gardens might have houseplant-like pots against the back wall or half-buried in the back lawn or on the back porch. There might be such pots hanging from the porch ceiling or from the front and side walls of a car port, garage or shed at the end of a house side-running driveway

The British Oak

Generally white, though there is variation. But I rarely eat cucumber sandwiches, so I cannot speak from experience.

The Mystery Predators of Britain

There haven't been any big cat sightings in the Aylesbeare area. Genette Tate is now considered a victim of Robert Black but he was never charged for it (he died in prison). This book is so old now so some of its findings such as Genette Tate's disappearance, are sadly out of date. It did, however, instill a fascination in me with cryptids in general and the possibility that alien big cats can pose a risk to human lives. Incidentally, the puma or mountain lion have attacked children and can cause death so it's not outside the realm of possibility that these same animals can do the same in this country, if they exist.

The Gardens of Venice and the Veneto by Jenny Condie and Alex Ramsay

The computer crashed afore I commenced another component of my observation and question in the comment box immediately below.

Veneto outside Venice cultivates everything that Venice cultivates and additionally cultivates almonds, apricots, citrons, grapefruits, mandarins, oranges, pineapples and quince.

Veneto also cultivates nicely edible rice!

Doesn't that all draw one to domiciling the Veneto with all the above Veneto and Venice drinkables and edibles from a garden inside one's dwelling and on one's roof?

The British Oak

Thank you for your comments, especially those Feb. 14, 2024 and Apr 7, 2024, in answer to my previous, previous-day observations and comments.

Bread talk -- ;-D -- about the British Isles always causes me to consider cucumber sandwiches.
What kind of bread dominates among cucumber sandwiches?

The Mystery Predators of Britain

The computer crashed before I commenced another component of my observation and question in the comment box immediately below.

The third paragraph to the second subheading, This book intrigues me, considered an alien big cat perhaps consuming Genette Tate ()May 5, 1965-Aug. 19, 1978).

Your article mentions ABC sightings in Devon generally but not in the Aylesbeare area.

Online sources note Cornwall and Devon police and the Tate family numbering only temporarily among possible disappearance motives kidnapping.

Were there ABC sightings in the Aylesbeare area?
It otherwise would seem strange police wondering about alien big cats, who would have walked away with or without a bleeding, bloody child.
