Rollmops | Pickled Herring
Rollmops are a traditional appetizer from Berlin, Germany, consisting of pickled herring fillets that are rolled around ingredients such as gherkins, onion rings, or green olives¹². They are usually eaten cold, on their own or with bread, and are often served as part of a hangover breakfast². Rollmops are a way to preserve and transport fish, especially during meatless periods like Lent². They became popular in the 19th century, when the railway network allowed the herring from the North and Baltic seas to reach the interior of Germany².
Rollmops are considered a culinary experience by some people, who enjoy the tangy and salty flavor of the pickled fish and the crunchy texture of the vegetables. They are also a part of the German cultural heritage, as they reflect the history and geography of the country. Rollmops can be found in many supermarkets, delis, and pubs in Germany, as well as in other countries like England and Poland¹². Some people like to make their own rollmops at home, using fresh or frozen herring and their preferred fillings and seasonings³⁴..

There is no definitive answer to what the future of humanity will look like in 1000 years, as it depends on many factors, such as technological, social, environmental, and biological changes. However, based on some current trends and projections, we can imagine some possible scenarios. Here are some of them:
Cybernetic: In this scenario, humans will become more integrated with machines and artificial intelligence, enhancing their physical and mental capabilities. Humans will be able to augment their senses, memories, emotions, and skills with implants, devices, and interfaces. They will also be able to upload their minds to digital platforms, creating virtual realities and immortality. ¹²
Genetic: In this scenario, humans will use biotechnology and genetic engineering to modify their own DNA and create new forms of life. Humans will be able to alter their appearance, health, lifespan, and intelligence. They will also be able to create new species and hybrids, such as human-animal chimeras, designer babies, and clones. ³⁴
Cosmic: In this scenario, humans will expand their presence and exploration beyond Earth, colonizing other planets and moons in the solar system and beyond. Humans will use advanced rockets, spacecraft, and habitats to adapt to different environments and resources. They will also encounter and communicate with extraterrestrial life forms, if they exist. ⁵
These are some of the possible scenarios for the future of humanity in 1000 years. Of course, there are many other factors and uncertainties that could affect the outcome, such as wars, disasters, ethics, and values. The future is not predetermined, but rather shaped by the choices and actions of humans today. 🌎.

The date line bends around some countries to avoid the confusion of having different dates in the same country. For example, if the date line was a straight line, then some parts of Russia and Alaska would have different dates than the rest of their countries. This would make it hard to coordinate activities, schedules, and events. By curving the date line, the whole country can have the same date and time zone. ¹²
The date line also bends to respect the wishes of some island nations that want to have the same date as their neighbors or trading partners. For example, in 2011, Samoa and Tokelau moved to the west of the date line to align their calendars with New Zealand and Australia. This was done to boost their economic and social ties with those countries. ³⁴
The date line is not a fixed or official boundary, but rather a convention that is followed by most countries and regions. Some places may choose to ignore the date line and use a different date or time zone that suits their needs. ⁵

Happy New Year 2024
BNE and Queensland are now in … Before was Auckland NZ!
From Hamburg, I am sending my best wishes for the year to come …. may peace come back as soon as possible, and may your wishes and dreams come true!
This past year was not a very good one in many ways:
People have become afraid and worried about the future.
Too many bad news day by day: I did not even follow any news, I just read some summaries on the net.
Meeting your family and friends over Christmas is a real chance getting away from this all: Take a rest and settle down.
Enjoy the love of your family and friends, and breathe in and out consciously, and hope for a better year to come.
I just walked through the backyards in the North of Hamburg, and visited my mother in a small country town: She is now 97 years old, and she emembers the years after the second world war from 1945 on:
My father still a POW in France for two years until 1947: A young soldier and officer, who was forced into the war zones in Ukraine in 1944, only 20 years old, one of the few young soldiers surviving this terrible war killing millions of people in Europe.
Hope dies last became a motto for the rest of his life.
Give Peace A Chance (In Memory Of John Lennon).
With my best wishes from the True North Of Germany
Find out about Baumschulen Raum Hamburg / Pinneberg / the largest and unique Baumschulen in Europe!
Unter Baumschule ist nach der Definition in Der Große Brockhaus eine „Betriebsform zur Anzucht von Freilandgehölzen, oft auch Stauden“ zu verstehen.
Als Baumschule bezeichnet man erwerbsmäßig bewirtschaftete Anbauflächen für Bäume, Sträucher, Rosen (Ziergehölze), Obstgehölze und Forstpflanzen. Die Baumschule ist eine Untergruppierung des Gartenbaus und gehört nicht zur klassischen Feldwirtschaft oder der Forstwirtschaft.
Walking 10 km from some Baumschulen back to the North Of Hamburg / Kreis Pinneberg / Not far from Waldenau, where my mother Annita (now 97 years old) started her career as a school teacher at the age of 14 yrs – far away from her Home, a farm near RD – in the middle of Holstein, between North Sea and Baltic.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss ideas of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770 – 1831) on history.
Hegel, one of the most influential of the modern philosophers, described history as the progress in the consciousness of freedom, asking whether we enjoy more freedom now than those who came before us. To explore this, he looked into the past to identify periods when freedom was moving from the one to the few to the all, arguing that once we understand the true nature of freedom we reach an endpoint in understanding. That end of history, as it’s known, describes an understanding of freedom so far progressed, so profound, that it cannot be extended or deepened even if it can be lost.
