Demonstration of Afghan women against the very restrictive “recommendations” of the Taliban towards them, in Kabul, December 28, 2021. MOHD RASFAN / AFP
On the morning of Tuesday, December 28, about fifty women went to the Shahr-e Naw neighborhood in central Kabul. Their goal: to protest against the Taliban who, since coming to power on August 15, have been eating away at human rights, especially those of women, day after day. The day before, the Afghan ministry for the promotion of virtue and the prevention of vice announced new “Recommendations” concerning women.
Drivers are now asked not to take women on board for distances beyond 45 miles (72 kilometers)if these Afghan women are not accompanied by a male relative. In addition, these women must respect “The Islamic veil”. It is not clear whether by the latter term the Taliban mean the burqa, compulsory during their first reign (1996-2001), or the headscarf, as has been the custom for the past twenty years. Another ?recommendation? of the Taliban: the ban on listening to music in cars.
According to a protester, Zahra Muhammadi, dentist, the Taliban have already started erecting roadblocks in Kabul to verify that drivers comply with these new rules. “Next to my office, the Taliban brought down the women to check that they were sufficiently covered and accompanied by men from their families”, explains this 27-year-old Afghan woman.

These new restrictions come on top of others already in place, including the denial of schools for girls over the age of 12 in many Afghan provinces, and the ban on Afghan television stations from broadcasting programs and programs. seriesin which women appear.
Repressed protest
“Taliban want Afghanistan to go back to the dark years of their first reign, explains one of the demonstrators in Kabul, the poet Hoda Khamosh, contacted on WhatsApp. If we don’t speak up, we will be further marginalized. “

A very active figure, 27-year-old Hoda Khamosh belongs to the generation of women who grew up after the fall of the Taliban in 2001, following the international military intervention, led by Washington, after September 11. During this period, Afghan women were able to access education and employment. Freedom of the press and freedom of expression existed. But the corruption of the leaders of the former Afghan regime, their incompetence and the insecurity caused by the continuing fighting between the Taliban and those in power have undermined the legitimacy of the political system, accelerating its failure and collapse. Today, educated and emancipated women are at the forefront of the protesters of Taliban power, which has still not been recognized by the international community.

Moving within an industry like Hollywood It should not be an easy task. Being talented, loved by all and staying current after several decades is something that very few have achieved. One of those who has managed to maintain such status is Keanu Reeves, one of the great names that can afford to say that it owns everything previously said.
His name is synonymous with many things, but today we could say that it is that of a real star. He is talented, he has fans who follow him throughout the universe, he is loved by his peers and every production in which he participates is a guaranteed success. As if that were not enough, he exudes a simplicity and humility, like two unusual qualities for someone of his status.
However, before becoming one of the most acclaimed names in cinemaReeves had a tough childhood, which led him to live on opposite ends of the world. Before even beginning to think about a career on the acting path, he considered being an ice hockey player.
A tough childhood, away from his father and with little sense of belonging
Although many do not know it, Keanu Reeves was born on September 2, 1964 in Beirut, Lebanon.. His mother, Patricia Bond, an artist and costume decorator from England, who left home when she was young. While her father, Samuel Reeves, was a native of Honolulu with Chinese and Portuguese ancestry.
His parents met and married in Beirut when his mother was 19 and his father was 21. After Keanu was born, his younger sister Kim arrived. He had been in prison for selling drugs at the Honolulu airport. When Keanu was only 3 years old, his father abandoned them, so the little one met him at the age of 6. The last time he had contact with his father was at the age of 13 on the island of Kauia.
After his parents divorced in 1966, Keanu’s mother, who was a costume designer at the time, decided to move with her children to Australia and then to New York. There she met and married Broadway director Paul Aaron. The family eventually relocated to Toronto, Canada, where Reeves spent most of his adolescence.
Already in his high school years, the young Keanu began to feel attracted to the world of cinema and the performing arts, partly mentored by his stepfather. However, those years were not easy, since in a matter of a few years he changed schools four times. In addition to his dyslexia problem, Keanu felt a certain resistance to obeying authority, which caused him problems in the educational establishments he attended, so he decided to drop out of school.
The winding road to fame
Although the traditional school format was not for him, always had a great attraction for acting. In fact, in an interview he confessed that he had always wanted to be an actor. Hockey played a big role in his life too. His talent for the sport placed him as a great promise in the world of ice hockey, but an injury to his knee ended up sending him to the supplement bench, leaving him with little chance of getting back on his skates.
But clearly, fate had other plans for Keanu Reeves, who was destined to become one of Hollywood’s greats. His first steps in acting began at the age of 9. Although in his teens he had the occasional flirtation with the theater, his leap to the screen came in the late 1980s when he appeared in several commercials, including one for Coca-Cola. But his first role in a feature film would come in 1985 in the film One Step Away, Directed by Robert Fortier.
One Step Away, one of his first roles on the big screen
It was only in his twenties that Reeves began to take seriously the challenge of becoming an actor. With no savings and no plan, she decided to move to the city of Los Angeles. His former stepfather, Paul Aaron, helped him get a manager so he could steer his course.
Little by little and with effort, his face began to become known in the industry. With a boyish and handsome face, Keanu began playing teenage roles, some with a rebellious spirit and others more awkward. Still, he knew what he wanted and did not miss any of the opportunities or challenges that life threw his way.
In 1989 he starred Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, followed by the sequel Bill & Ted’s Fake Trip. Already towards the 90, little by little he began to put aside the adolescent roles. So it was that in 1991 he got Breaking point (Point Break), who co-starred alongside Patrick Swayze.
Some low-budget titles like My Own Private Idaho (1991), in which he acted alongside River Phoenix, brother of Joaquin Phoenix. In 1992, he played Jonathan Harker in the adaptation of Dracula, directed by Francis Ford Coppola. In this film he shared the screen with Winona Ryder, Gary Oldman Y Anthony Hopkins.
Fame plays a trick on him
Slowly, the actor became one of the most wanted and praised men in Hollywood. Many raved about his attractiveness and charm, but his private life remained a mystery.
Even if her climb into the world of cinema was dizzying, she never fit the typical celebrity description. According to him, he tried to stay away from the cruel vortex of celebrity vices. Although he admitted to having ever used the odd substance, the death of his best friend and colleague River Phoenix, who died of an overdose, led him to adopt the flag against drug use.
Along with Sandra Bullock in Maximum speed
In 1994,His career took an unexpected turn when the lead came to him in Maximum speed(Speed) junto a Sandra Bullock. The action tape became a worldwide phenomenon. Along with the success of the film came the rumors about his alleged relationship with his film partner. Apparently they had left the “friend zone” to become something else. The chemistry between the two was palpable, however, both assured that nothing happened between them beyond their romance on screen.
Focused and refocused, Keanu found a new wave of opportunities. In 1995 he starred A walk on clouds (Walk in the Clouds), and the following year, Chain reaction (Chain Reaction). In 1997 it was released The devil’s lawyer (The Devil’s Advocate), which she co-starred with alongside Al Pacino Y Charlize Theron.
Once again, the media began to circulate the rumors of an affair with Theron. The press claimed to see them very “caramelized” outside the film set, but the duo never admitted their romance off-camera.
The tragedy of his life and the movie that saved him
In 1999, Keanu reached the peak of his career when he landed the lead role in Matrix, the film directed by the Wachowski sisters, and that would be the first of a successful trilogy. Despite his booming success and being one of the actors of the moment, his personal life would take an unexpected turn.
During that time he met the woman who would change his life. His name was Jennifer Syme and worked as a personal assistant to director David Lynch. The couple met at a party in Los Angeles and soon began dating. She quickly became the most watched woman on the planet, as she had become the Keanu Reeves Official Girlfriend.
Reeves played Neo in the Matrix trilogy.
A year into their relationship, Syme became pregnant. Although they did not get married, the couple moved to live together to prepare for the arrival of their first child and their family life. Unfortunately that day came too early. The baby anticipated his arrival and was born prematurely in the eighth month. Despite the effort, there was nothing the doctors could do.
Devastated, the passage of time began to deteriorate the couple’s relationship, until they finally separated. Even when they were no longer a couple, they maintained a certain bond. During the early morning hours of April 2, 2001, Jennifer Syme was returning from a party when she lost control of the vehicle,. He died on the spot.
The actor’s pain was immense. Heartbroken, she was preparing to begin filming the Matrix sequel, but had to take time to heal and process her loss.
While he has never been very open about his private life, these painful events caused him to withdraw even further into his privacy. ?Much of my appreciation for life is due to loss. Life is Beautiful. It’s worth it”he said in an interview with Parade Magazine in 2006. “Pain changes shape, but never ends”he mused.
John Wick and the well deserved return to the screens
For a long time Keanu took a break from acting and fame. His return to the screen came from the hand of 47 Ronin but the film ended up being a failure.
Many believed that the success of the Matrix saga would be difficult for the actor to replicate, until in 2014 he arrived John Wick. In the film he plays a retired hitman who decides to return to action after the death of his wife.
His new character’s similarities struck a chord with Kenau. In an interview with The Guardian in 2019, the actor said that pain is one of the pillars of John Wick’s character, a feeling that resonated in every part of his being.
Keanu Reeves with Alexandra Grant, his current partner
Besides getting back in front of the cameras, another way to ease her pain was through writing. In 2009 he joined the visual artist Alexandra Grant, with whom he created the publishing house X Artists’ Books. Their collaboration also resulted in the publication of a poetry book called Ode to happiness (Ode to Happiness), which contains poems written by Reeves and illustrations by Grant.
Without a doubt it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship between the two, which with the passage of time became something more. The couple found a way to stay away from the flashes, until in 2020 they made their first public appearance at a film gala in Los Angeles..
With a new love in his life and with a career at the top, a new opportunity knocked on his doors. The proposal not only surprised the actor, but the whole world. So it was that he knew that Keanu would once again put himself in Neo’s shoes for the fourth installment of the Matrix saga, called Matrix Resurrection and that is already in cinemas.
No doubt Keanu Reeves is one of those Hollywood outliers. His life has not been easy at all, but despite everything he has had to live, he continues to show that kind smile on his face and that warm gaze that above all flashes humility. A man who knew how to turn the most painful moments of his life into a form of inspiration to make the most of every moment.

The omicron variant of the coronavirus is on the advance worldwide. The situation in the news ticker.
The omicron variant * of the coronavirus is spreading rapidly around the world.
Research into the corona mutation * is progressing.
The news situation on the Corona variant Omikron at a glance.
+++ 6:18 p.m .: The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned of a collapse in health systems because of the omicron and delta variants of the coronavirus. “I am deeply concerned that the more contagious omicron that circulates simultaneously with Delta will lead to a tsunami of cases,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a press conference in Geneva on Wednesday.
The omicron variant of the coronavirus is spreading worldwide. (Symbol photo)
“This is and will continue to be under tremendous pressure and pressure on exhausted health workers and health systems that are on the verge of collapse,” added Tedros. The highly contagious omicron variant of the coronavirus has led to a massive increase in the number of infections worldwide.
More than 6.5 million infections were detected worldwide from December 22nd to 28th – the highest weekly value since the beginning of the pandemic, as the AFP news agency reported on Wednesday based on information from the authorities. In Europe in particular, the number of infections is skyrocketing.
Virologist Streeck warns of reckless “contamination” with the Omicron variant
+++ 12.30 p.m .: Virologist Hendrik Streeck warned on Wednesday morning of a “contamination” by the Omikron variant. This comes one way or another, emphasized the scientist. However, it is “dangerous” to bring them about “actively” at an early stage. Too many people with vulnerable immune systems would probably suffer as a result.
Despite good news about Omikron, which virologist Christian Drosten also spread *, that infections with the Omikron variant probably lead to milder Covid-19 courses than with other variants, the risk of ending up in the intensive care unit is still real, according to Streeck in an interview with ntv.
Omicron risk very high – WHO explains
+++ 10.30 a.m .: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the danger posed by the omicron variant of the coronavirus is still very high. The WHO announced this in its weekly situation report. According to previous observations, the variant spreads significantly faster than the delta variant did. In the United States and Great Britain she is now the dominant mutant. According to the WHO, the rapid growth rate is probably a combination of both the lower protection provided by the immune system and the increased transferability of the omicron variant. However, a decrease in the number of cases has recently been recorded in South Africa.
In addition, preliminary data from Great Britain, South Africa and Denmark showed that compared to the Delta variant, the sick do not have to be treated as often in a clinic, the WHO said. But more studies are needed to really understand these observations. It is to be expected that drugs that have been tried and tested so far will also help with this variant.
“Drama of the situation” by Omikron: FDP General Secretary no longer excludes compulsory vaccination
+++ 9.15 a.m .: The designated FDP general secretary left a decision on the general compulsory vaccination in Germany open. He will look at the situation after various applications and ?come to a decision afterwards?, said Bijan Djir-Sarai in the ?Morgenmagazin? of the ZDF *.
Djir-Sarai said that compulsory vaccination could become a real option in view of the omicron variant that is circulating: ?Today we’ll see, in the summer I didn’t know anything about the Omicron variant. From my point of view, the drama of the situation, as we have it now, was not recognizable in the summer. ?At that time, the FDP politician had positioned himself against compulsory corona vaccination.
Omikron dominates corona infections in the USA
Update from Wednesday, December 29th, 2021, 8.15 a.m .: In the USA *, the number of new corona infections continues to rise rapidly. For Monday, the CDC health agency announced more than 440,000 new cases in one day – the highest reported daily value since the pandemic began. However, it can be assumed that this number is falsified due to the holidays, as late registrations are likely to have come after Christmas. The data vary significantly – the New York Times even reported more than 500,000 new infections for the day.
States such as New York, New Jersey, Illinois and Maryland as well as the capital Washington had recorded high levels of new corona infections every day in the past few days. The Omicron variant now dominates the infection rate in the USA. Even though the CDC recently revised its estimates of the spread of the new variant downwards, the proportion of the variant in new infections has increased significantly since the beginning of December.
Omikron is now the predominant Corona variant in two neighboring countries
+++ 19.25 p.m .: The Omikron mutation has now established itself as the predominant coronavirus variant in Switzerland and the Netherlands. On Tuesday (December 28th, 2021), more than 13,000 new infections were reported for Switzerland, of which around 55 percent of the cases of infection are due to the Omikron variant.
There were also around 40 cases nationwide in which sick people had to be admitted to hospital despite a booster vaccination, said Patrick Mathys, head of the crisis management and international cooperation section at the Federal Office of Public Health.
Omikron variant: Corona lockdown in the Netherlands until mid-January
The Netherlands recorded a decrease in new infections with 9213 cases on Tuesday, but are expecting a new increase due to the high risk of infection of the Omikron variant, according to the national institute for public health. The Netherlands had imposed a new lockdown before Christmas *.
The Omikron variant has also taken control of the course of the corona pandemic in Switzerland. More than 13,000 new infections were reported here on Tuesday (December 28, 2021).
All non-essential shops, restaurants and bars, cinemas, museums and theaters will remain closed until mid-January – possibly with a positive effect. Most recently, the number of hospital admissions had fallen from 256 in the previous week to 191 this week.
+++ 4.30 p.m .: According to researchers from Göttingen, the omicron variant of the coronavirus, which is spreading ever further, is largely resistant to current antibodies. A new study shows that antibodies from recovered people barely inhibited the omicron variant, said the Göttingen University Medical Center and the Leibniz Institute for Primate Research Göttingen on Tuesday.
The antibodies formed after two Biontech / Pfizer vaccinations were also significantly less effective against the Omikron variant than against the Delta variant. Better inhibition, however, was observed after triple Biontech / Pfizer vaccination * as well as after cross-vaccination with Oxford-AstraZeneca and Biontech / Pfizer.
Corona: Omicron resistant to antibodies
The team, which in addition to the Göttingen experts also included researchers from the Hanover Medical School, the German Center for Infection Research in Braunschweig and the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, was able to further show that most of the therapeutic Antibodies used to treat Covid-19 are not effective against the Omicron variant.
“Our results indicate that the antibody therapies for Covid-19 must be adapted to the Omikron variant,” said study leader Stefan Pohlmann.
Omikron: Corona infections are increasing rapidly in Germany
First report from Tuesday, December 28th, 2021, 3:30 p.m .: Berlin / Frankfurt – The number of Omikron cases * in Germany is increasing rapidly. The new Corona variant is becoming more and more popular. So far, 10,443 corona infections with the mutation have been measured. This is based on data from the Robert Koch Institute.
This corresponds to an increase of 45 percent (3218 cases) compared to the previous day (Monday, December 27th, 2021). According to the RKI, there have been four deaths in Germany so far that were related to Omikron infections. The institute expects that the variant will soon develop into the predominant mutation of Sars-CoV-2 and replace the delta variant. A total of more than 20,000 new corona infections were reported to the RKI by the health authorities on Tuesday (December 28, 2021). *
Corona variant Omikron: research with initial findings
The Omikron variant is considered highly infectious, in other words: It spreads further quickly. Researchers have also found out what can lead to a kind of ?super immunity? compared to Omikron. * In addition, there are scientific findings about the effect of corona vaccinations with regard to the Omikron variant. It was found, for example, that a dead vaccine hardly works against it. *

The omicron variant of the coronavirus is on the advance worldwide. The situation in the news ticker.
The omicron variant * of the coronavirus is spreading rapidly around the world.
Research into the corona mutation * is progressing.
The news situation on the Corona variant Omikron at a glance.
+++ 6:18 p.m .: The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned of a collapse in health systems because of the omicron and delta variants of the coronavirus. “I am deeply concerned that the more contagious omicron that circulates simultaneously with Delta will lead to a tsunami of cases,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a press conference in Geneva on Wednesday.

“This is and will continue to be under tremendous pressure and pressure on exhausted health workers and health systems that are on the verge of collapse,” added Tedros. The highly contagious omicron variant of the coronavirus has led to a massive increase in the number of infections worldwide.
More than 6.5 million infections were detected worldwide from December 22nd to 28th – the highest weekly value since the beginning of the pandemic, as the AFP news agency reported on Wednesday based on information from the authorities. In Europe in particular, the number of infections is skyrocketing.
Virologist Streeck warns of reckless “contamination” with the Omicron variant
+++ 12.30 p.m .: Virologist Hendrik Streeck warned on Wednesday morning of a “contamination” by the Omikron variant. This comes one way or another, emphasized the scientist. However, it is “dangerous” to bring them about “actively” at an early stage. Too many people with vulnerable immune systems would probably suffer as a result.
Despite good news about Omikron, which virologist Christian Drosten also spread *, that infections with the Omikron variant probably lead to milder Covid-19 courses than with other variants, the risk of ending up in the intensive care unit is still real, according to Streeck in an interview with ntv.
Omicron risk very high – WHO explains
+++ 10.30 a.m .: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the danger posed by the omicron variant of the coronavirus is still very high. The WHO announced this in its weekly situation report. According to previous observations, the variant spreads significantly faster than the delta variant did. In the United States and Great Britain she is now the dominant mutant. According to the WHO, the rapid growth rate is probably a combination of both the lower protection provided by the immune system and the increased transferability of the omicron variant. However, a decrease in the number of cases has recently been recorded in South Africa.
In addition, preliminary data from Great Britain, South Africa and Denmark showed that compared to the Delta variant, the sick do not have to be treated as often in a clinic, the WHO said. But more studies are needed to really understand these observations. It is to be expected that drugs that have been tried and tested so far will also help with this variant.

ANANG Hermansyah until Syahrini began to glance at the world of the Metaverse. For them the development of this technology can bring more luck.
Yes, technological developments cannot be separated from the celebrity lifestyle. Moreover, this technology brings its own advantages. One of the most popular at this time is Metaverse technology.
Metaverse is an amalgamation or mixed reality (MR) that combines digital and the real world using virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Metaverse is a digital tangible world that can replace the presence of the physical world in several ways, including working, playing games, buying and selling, building cities to watching shows.
Recently, singer Justin Bieber held a concert with a metaverse concept that combines gaming technology, real time motion capture and live musical performance. In the concert Justin Bieber turned into a digital avatar and presented his show in full and was watched by his fans in the form of an avatar as well.
Justin thinks that the metaverse provides a new experience to be able to show sound and motion directly to the audience without any recording.
“I love using this technology (Wave) to bring people together and connect with fans from all over the world,” Justine told Hypbeast.
The concept of virtual concerts like this has also been applied to the concerts of The Weeknd, John Legend, Tinashe, and Galantis.
Domestic artists also began to follow the trend where artists turned to the digital world and tried the Metaverse. For example, Syahrini. Through her Instagram account @princesssyahrini, the Indonesian diva announced that she would launch a Non-Fungibel Token (NFT) digital asset.
?Welcome to the Metaverse. I am very happy to announce my first NFT,” said Syahrini through his Instagram account @princesssyahrini, Monday (13/12). ?NFT will launch on Binance September 14th at 11:00 am.? as quoted.
Singer Anang Hermansyah also did not want to be left behind. In a conversation with the Deputy Minister of Trade Jerry Sambuaga on his Youtube channel, Anang expressed his desire to make ASIX IDM tokens, which were taken from Anang, Ashanty, Aurel, Azriel, Arsy, and Arsya.
Anang assessed that the presence of exchanges and crypto tokens for the nation’s children would make it easier for him to benefit from the world of Metaverse.
“Help me make a token, please, IDM, I want it. The thing is like earlier, I thought if I made my own shop there (Metaverse), I can sell my cake, if I want a friend who can sell it through me, I’ll use the token later. ” said Anang as quoted from his YouTube channel.
The Metaverse trend is getting more and more widespread, because the Facebook founder who has changed the name of his parent company to META, in this percentage of branding Facebook to META he has revealed that he will realize Metaverse.
Later to be able to enter the user metaverse will involve a number of developments from a combination of virtual reality (VR) and a number of other technologies. With the metaverse, Zuckeberg will also promise a world without boundaries.

It was nine years ago: after a year of traveling around the world, I started this travel blog in December 2012. I would never have dared to dream that I would make a living from it. However, I did not expect a pandemic that would turn many things upside down. In 2021 – after my first two vaccinations – I was able to experience a few nice trips, plus a number of trips to NRW. In this article, I’ll give you a look back and tell you what’s planned for 2022. Also for my blog anniversary I will be in the Newsletter from January 1, 2022, raffle a package with travel accessories.
As I experienced in 2021
Just like everyone else who works in tourism, I had to switch over to Corona in 2020.
Before that, I was traveling around four months a year doing research for my travel blog. Since then I have traveled significantly less, especially in Germany and in neighboring countries.
That goes well with the fact that dog Buddy came to us in June 2018 and we can only travel with him in the car. Do you already know the 21 great ones Travel destinations for vacation with your dog? Some insider tips are also included.
I also added more to the blog vegan recipes from all over the world. After all, I love food as much as I love traveling. I am continuing my distance learning to become a vegan nutritionist.
Overall, I’m trying to make the best of the current situation. In the meantime Carsten and I have both been boosted, we are now waiting for further developments. Moments of happiness bring me strolls in the forest, delicious vegan food as well as films and series like ?Don’t look up? or ?Grey’s Anatomy?.
I’m also making travel plans for 2022. So I have a looong list of travel destinations. So far, however, we have only booked one trip where we meet friends on site. I will book everything else spontaneously.
Are you still looking for travel inspiration? Then maybe mine will help you Bucket List Ideen with beautiful places around the world.

By the way, do you already know them Excursion destinations on the Lower Rhine of eight travel bloggers? In this article you will find many beautiful places.
South Tyrol: mountain vacation in Italy
I just love Italy! Whether cities like Rome or Florence with a lot of culture, the sea or the food. As often as I’ve been in the country, we visited South Tyrol in northern Italy for the first time in June 2021.
From Mönchengladbach it took one day to drive into the car Eggental, near Bolzano. We spent relaxing days in our wellness hotel with a pool, mountain views and – on request – vegan food. We also visited the beautiful Karer See, the surrounding Dolomites and imposing earth pyramids.
Gdynia and Gda?sk (Danzig) in Poland
We have been to Ko?obrzeg very often (Kolberg) on the Polish Baltic coast. In July 2021 we went a little further east.
In the port city Gdynia we looked at the white Bauhaus architecture and a museum ship, visited the city beach as well as the cliff and pier in the Or?owo district. In Gdynia you can experience a city trip and a beach holiday in one, really great!

Discover Münsterland by bike
I like cycling a lot, because it allows me to go at my own pace and see a lot of the surroundings. With the e-bike I visited sights in August Münsterland. Since it was mostly flat and there were good bike paths, it was very pleasant to ride there.
In the lively student city of Münster, I enjoyed the view, visited the weekly market and stayed in a historic moated castle. From there I cycled to Hülshoff Castle for a vegan picnic in the park.
Island Ameland in Holland
There are five inhabited islands in the West Frisian Wadden Sea. After I was already in Terschelling fell in love, she went to the neighboring island in September 2021 Ameland.

We live near Düsseldorf, in Mönchengladbach on the Lower Rhine. From here we go on trips with Buddy again and again.
Did you know that you can also experience tulip fields in Germany like in Holland? We visited at the end of April Tulip fields in Grevenbroich and Neuss, the photo above was taken for the latter. The colors were so beautiful!
They are also a great, free excursion destination Mammutbäume at the Sequoiafarm Kaldenkirchen. Here you can admire the tallest tree in the world from April to October.
Another excursion took us to the Romer Park Xanten. Germany’s largest archaeological open-air museum contains true-to-original replicas of Roman houses, temples and amphitheaters. There is also a café where you can eat delicious cakes (unfortunately not vegan).
In 2021 I was back in Cologne more often, where I had previously lived for twelve years. Here you can find mine Cologne tips. This year I have new articles on cafes with me vegan breakfast and Second Hand Shops written.
At the end of August we visited the heather blossom in the Westruper Heide (Haltern am See). We saw the sunrise with morning mist over the purple splendor, here there is a YouTube Video to.
The largest Pumpkin exhibition in NRW takes place every year at the Krewelshof Eifel. From the beginning of September to November there was a fantastic circus world with elephants, tigers and clowns as well as a giant pyramid made of over 100,000 pumpkins. You can get first insights in YouTube Video.
The lights up at Christmas time Webers’ estate Mönchengladbach with colorful Christmas decorations and lights. There I always feel a little like the Griswolds in the classic film ?Schöne Bescherung?.
By the way, do you already know them Excursion destinations on the Lower Rhine of eight travel bloggers? In this article you will find many beautiful places.
South Tyrol: mountain vacation in Italy
I just love Italy! Whether cities like Rome or Florence with a lot of culture, the sea or the food. As often as I’ve been in the country, we visited South Tyrol in northern Italy for the first time in June 2021.
From Mönchengladbach it took one day to drive into the car Eggental, near Bolzano. We spent relaxing days in our wellness hotel with a pool, mountain views and – on request – vegan food. We also visited the beautiful Karer See, the surrounding Dolomites and imposing earth pyramids.
Gdynia and Gda?sk (Danzig) in Poland
We have been to Ko?obrzeg very often (Kolberg) on the Polish Baltic coast. In July 2021 we went a little further east.
In the port city Gdynia we looked at the white Bauhaus architecture and a museum ship, visited the city beach as well as the cliff and pier in the Or?owo district. In Gdynia you can experience a city trip and a beach holiday in one, really great!
From there it went with a guide Danzig. I really liked the old Hanseatic city with its colorful houses, the Neptune Fountain and some vegan restaurants! You can find the tour to relive in the article.
Experience Frankfurt with a dog
A city trip with a dog? That worked out great in Frankfurt am Main with its many green spaces.
In August 2021 we tried out the dog culture package including a city tour in an organic hotel. We also visited dog walks, the Lohrberg with a view of the skyline and restaurants with vegan options. You can find my tips in this article Frankfurt with a dog.
Discover Münsterland by bike
I like cycling a lot, because it allows me to go at my own pace and see a lot of the surroundings. With the e-bike I visited sights in August Münsterland. Since it was mostly flat and there were good bike paths, it was very pleasant to ride there.
In the lively student city of Münster, I enjoyed the view, visited the weekly market and stayed in a historic moated castle. From there I cycled to Hülshoff Castle for a vegan picnic in the park.
Island Ameland in Holland
There are five inhabited islands in the West Frisian Wadden Sea. After I was already in Terschelling fell in love, she went to the neighboring island in September 2021 Ameland.
With Martina (Dogs travel more) I explored the island on the e-bike. We looked at the lighthouse, the endless North Sea beaches with beach restaurants, went on a tour through the Wadden Sea and admired the sunset over the sea. We had a wonderful time!
City trip to Bayreuth
Many opera fans dream of the Wagner Festival in Bayreuth. Others rave about the magnificent Margravial Opera House, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But there is still more to see!
In October 2021 I spent a long weekend in the Bavarian student town. In addition to the classic sights, I discovered street art as well as many cafes and restaurants with vegan food.

Considered one of the best films in history, Dreams of escape (for some Latin American countries) is undoubtedly a must-see for all good inveterate moviegoers. It was released in 1994, directed by Frank Darabont with Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins as protagonists, The Shawshank Redemption was nominated for seven Academy Awards, of which it did not obtain any since it competed with two feature films that later would become In cult films, Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump, the latter would win the best picture award.
Based on the short novel by Stephen King, “Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank redemption”, the film tells the story of the young banker Andrew (Andy) Dufresne who is sentenced by a judge to two life sentences in 1947 as a result of having murdered a his wife and her lover, despite the fact that he insists his innocence, Andy ends up being confined in Shawshank prison.
Just arriving at the jail, Andy realizes how hard his life will be there, seeing how the guards have no mercy to punish the inmates, all this with the approval of Samuel Norton, the mayor of the prison; and for the multiple harassments of “The Sisters”, a group of homosexuals who try at all costs to abuse Andy.
During the first few months, Dufresne befriends the prison’s most famous smuggler, Ellis Boyd Redding “Red”, after commissioning him to carve gemstones and a few other things, especially posters.
After two years in prison, Andy befriends several inmates, including Brooks, an old man who has spent practically all his life in prison, all of them are selected to perform maintenance on the roofs of the prison buildings. While working, Andy hears one of the guards complaining about tax problems, to which he proposes to keep accounts to ensure a fortuitous financial future for the guard. This accident makes him of a certain fame and he begins to keep accounts for practically all the prison guards.
After getting influence, our banker manages to get rid of the harassment of the sisters after one of them was disabled due to the beating that a guard gives him as a result of an attack on Andy.
Later Andy is moved to the prison library where he acts as an assistant for Brooks who is about to leave, but still does not know it until a few months later. The old man leaves prison but it is impossible for him to adapt to living outside of there because the world for him is no longer the same, Brooks decides to commit suicide in the hotel room where he lived, but not before leaving a message for his friends in prison.
After a few years, Norton started a work program for the interns, which consisted of cutting down trees and the like that, in his words, served as a kind of community work. Some contractors feel threatened by this and resort to bribing the mayor so that they are the ones who get the “big” jobs and the prisoners are the ones who do the small jobs. Andy, is in charge of making all the movement of this dirty money putting it in accounts in the name of Randall Stevens, which “only exists on paper.”
In 1965, after Red has been rejected by parolees and Andy takes care of the mayor’s shady business, a new young inmate arrives at Shawshank from another county jail. After becoming friends with Andy and thanks to him passing primary education, Tommy hears why Dufresne is in prison and tells him and his friends the true story of his wife’s murder.
He reveals that the real murderer is another person named Elmo Blatch, who shared a cell with Tommy in another prison, during a sentence prior to his arrival in Shawshank. Upon learning of this, Andy asks the warden to reopen his case, but he refuses, fearing that he will be left without his services, and in a fit of anger sends him to the “hole” for a month.
Days later, after Tommy received his high school diploma, Norton asks him if he was willing to testify in favor of Andy’s innocence, and upon receiving an affirmative answer, Hadley fires four rifle shots at Tommy, killing him. in the act. Upon learning of this, Andy tells the warden that he will not work for him again, but Norton lets him know that he will lose all the privileges he enjoys if he did not cooperate with him.
A month later, Andy tells Red that he considers his sentence completed, tells him about his plans to settle in Zihuatanejo, a small Mexican town on the shores of the Pacific, and asks for his help with his projects to follow once he is released from prison. . Red refuses, claiming that it would be very difficult for him to adjust to life outside of prison, and reminding Andy to stop being excited about those plans, but anyway Andy asks him to find a specific place, where there would be something buried for him. .
That night, Andy returns to his cell but would no longer be there the next morning. He had managed to escape by digging a tunnel that began in his cellar with the hammer that he would have asked Red ten years earlier and covering it with various posters, the last one was that of Rita Hayworth.
After Andy had escaped from jail through his tunnel and a sewer drain, he impersonates Randall Stevens with the documents used to open the bank accounts, and takes the $ 370,000 from Norton’s shady dealings. Before leaving for Mexico, he sends the evidence of the money laundering (which he had taken when he escaped) to a Portland newspaper. The news makes the cover, Hadley is arrested for Tommy’s murder, and Norton commits suicide before being caught.
A year later, Red is finally released on parole. True to his promise, he looks for the place Andy indicated and finds a small tin with some money and a letter for him. Following their instructions, he travels to FortHancock to cross the border with Mexico and reach the town of Zihuatanejo, where he meets Andy.
A film that shows us like no other the human side of those who are locked up, and above all, the true meaning of friendship and perseverance.

Craft beers from the Gecko brewery. FACEBOOK GECKO
From the comfortable benches of the bar of the Gecko brasserie, 70 kilometers south of Dakar, you can see the 500-liter stainless steel vats in which barley malt is infused. It is here, in the village of Nguérigne, that the first artisanal beer in Senegal has been brewed for two years, at a rate of 8,000 to 10,000 bottles per month.
The Gecko brewery sells its beers directly on site, but also via online delivery systems or by supplying the restaurants and bars of Dakar and the small tourist coast.

In Senegal, the market is dominated by locally brewed industrial beers such as Flag or Gazelle, marketed by the West African Brewery Company (Soboa), a subsidiary of the Castel group. But the founder of the Gecko brewery, Frenchman Sébastien Flachs, says there is room for new players.
“Consumers complain about always drinking the same industrial beers or paying too high a price when they want a superior quality imported product”, specifies the entrepreneur, who started in a garage in Senegal with 170 liter tanks.
Experimentation and perseverance
?I had already brewed when I was young, for my friends. I knew a little about the process but it turns out to be more complicated in Senegal ?, he admits. With heat, all raw materials, from hops to yeast to malt, must be stored in cold rooms where the fermentation process also takes place in large black barrels. Hence the importance of having a generator on hand in the event of a power cut, which is frequent in this village.
After a year and a half of experimentation and perseverance, Sébastien Flachs and his team succeeded in 2020 in marketing two beers, one blonde and one APA (American Pale Ale) with unprecedented recipes. “I didn’t know anything about brewing, I had to learn everything”, testifies Estelle Noémie Ndiolène, who now supervises operations.

?It’s difficult to do this job, which involves alcohol, especially as a woman. But in this village, we are mostly Catholics, so that poses fewer problems for us ?, continues the young Senegalese.
In this 95% Muslim country, consumption is far from generalized. A 2016 Unicef ??study estimated the proportion of men between 15 and 49 who had drunk at least one alcoholic drink in the month at around 4%.
Several actors
Sébastien Flachs still wants to believe that the market is promising because demand is strong. Its customers are mainly European expatriates and tourists, but more and more Senegalese are discovering this beer with a more pronounced taste.
The challenge now is for production to keep pace with demand. Supermarkets need quantities that the Gecko brewery cannot supply. ?Investments are planned to develop, but the manufacturing process will remain artisanal. Only the bottling, washing and sterilization of the bottles that we currently do by hand should go semi-industrial ?, says Sébastien Flachs.

The entrepreneur is not the only one to have launched in Senegal on the niche of craft beers. Maison Kalao is one of these new breweries making a place for itself in the Senegalese market. Its founder, Raphaël Hilarion, has just received authorization to market three beers. All are made from local products such as rice, ginger or millet. As for hops, the young Franco-Cameroonian entrepreneur has chosen to import it from South Africa to keep a Pan-African beer that enhances the cereals of the continent.
With the help of the Institute of Food Technology (ITA), a public research and development organization, he identified local producers of rice and millet, with responsible and reasoned agricultural techniques.
Administrative burdens
While the adventure is only just beginning, Raphaël Hilarion produces around 1,000 bottles per month, but he says he feels a craze for his beers and professes great ambitions. “The idea is to target African consumers more”, explains the one who intends to position itself as an independent microbrewery, with a social vocation and zero waste.
Faced with administrative burdens and heavy investments represented by the opening of a brewery, Victor Gondry, a Belgian entrepreneur,preferred to import three craft beers from Belgium, with an original recipe only intended for Senegal, to test the market.

Although we are already counting down to 2021 and HBO wants you to start thinking about what will be House of The Dragon, The end of Game of Thrones continues to talk.
Thus, although almost three years have passed since the conclusion of the series, recently Peter Dinklage defended the divisive conclusion to the history of Westeros.
In an interview with The New York Times, the actor who played Tyrion Lannister was consulted regarding the request that George RR Martin, the author of the books that inspired the series, would have made so that Game of Thrones extend for two more seasons.
Dinklage, who participated in all seasons of the series, answered the question directly and not only indicated that he believes that Game of Thrones ended at the precise minute, but also raised a theory regarding the anger of the fans.
?It was the right moment. Not less, not more. You don’t want to exhaust your welcome, although I’m not sure that show could have. But I think the reason there was a backlash about the ending is because (the fans) were mad at us for breaking up with them. “ Dinklage said. ?We were getting off the air and they no longer knew what to do with their Sunday nights. They wanted more, so they reacted against it. “
?We had to finish when we did because what the show was really good at was breaking preconceived notions: villains became heroes and heroes became villains. If you know the story, when you follow the progress of tyrants, they don’t start out as tyrants. I’m talking about, spoiler alert, what happened at the end of Game of Thrones with that character change “added the actor. ?It’s gradual and I loved how power corrupted these people. What happens to your moral compass when it tastes power? Human beings are complicated characters, you know?
More about Game of Thrones
If you’ve been checking social media for the past two years you probably don’t even need to have seen Game of Thrones to understand that many people were upset with the end of the series and in particular with how the whole story around the Iron Throne and the stories of Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow was resolved.
But Dinklage does not believe that the ending is bad and indicated that it would be something along the lines of what the series always proposed.
?They wanted the handsome whites to ride together into the sunset. By the way, it is fiction. There are dragons in it. Keep going ?, the actor pointed out with a laugh. ?No, but the show subverts what you think, and that’s what I love about it. Yes, it was called Game of Thrones, but in the end all the dialogue when people approached me on the street was: ‘Who is going to sit on the throne?’ I don’t know why that was his conclusion, because the show really was more than that. “
“One of my favorite moments was when the dragon burned the throne because it ended all that conversation, which is really irreverent and brilliant on behalf of the creators of the show: ‘Shut up, it’s not about that.’ They constantly did that, where you thought one thing and gave you another. Everyone had their own stories while watching that show, but I think no one had (a story) as good as the one the show delivered?, He concluded.
Dinklage is not the first cast member of Game of Thrones who defends the series’ conclusion and, while figures like Emilia Clarke have had slightly more nuanced comments, actors like Iwan Rheon and Sophie Turner have argued in favor of closing the show.

Although we are already counting down to 2021 and HBO wants you to start thinking about what will be House of The Dragon, The end of Game of Thrones continues to talk.
Thus, although almost three years have passed since the conclusion of the series, recently Peter Dinklage defended the divisive conclusion to the history of Westeros.
In an interview with The New York Times, the actor who played Tyrion Lannister was consulted regarding the request that George RR Martin, the author of the books that inspired the series, would have made so that Game of Thrones extend for two more seasons.
Dinklage, who participated in all seasons of the series, answered the question directly and not only indicated that he believes that Game of Thrones ended at the precise minute, but also raised a theory regarding the anger of the fans.
?It was the right moment. Not less, not more. You don’t want to exhaust your welcome, although I’m not sure that show could have. But I think the reason there was a backlash about the ending is because (the fans) were mad at us for breaking up with them. “ Dinklage said. ?We were getting off the air and they no longer knew what to do with their Sunday nights. They wanted more, so they reacted against it. “
?We had to finish when we did because what the show was really good at was breaking preconceived notions: villains became heroes and heroes became villains. If you know the story, when you follow the progress of tyrants, they don’t start out as tyrants. I’m talking about, spoiler alert, what happened at the end of Game of Thrones with that character change “added the actor. ?It’s gradual and I loved how power corrupted these people. What happens to your moral compass when it tastes power? Human beings are complicated characters, you know?
More about Game of Thrones
If you’ve been checking social media for the past two years you probably don’t even need to have seen Game of Thrones to understand that many people were upset with the end of the series and in particular with how the whole story around the Iron Throne and the stories of Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow was resolved.
But Dinklage does not believe that the ending is bad and indicated that it would be something along the lines of what the series always proposed.
?They wanted the handsome whites to ride together into the sunset. By the way, it is fiction. There are dragons in it. Keep going ?, the actor pointed out with a laugh. ?No, but the show subverts what you think, and that’s what I love about it.

MAP – According to statistics unveiled by INSEE on Wednesday, December 29, New Aquitaine became the third most populous region in France in 2019, despite strong disparities between the territories
LNew Aquitaine, already the largest region in France, has just reached third position in the ranking of the most populous region. According to figures unveiled this Wednesday, December 29 by the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE), the 6,010,289 Neo-Aquitaine in the 1is January 2019 represented 9.2% of the French population.
The Southwest region comes after Île-de-France and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, but is ahead of Hauts-de-France by a short head with only 5,340 inhabitants more. On the beach studied by INSEE, between 2013 and 2019, this represents a jump of 166,112 inhabitants for New Aquitaine, or 27,700 more on average per year (+ 0.5% per year).
If they seem to reflect the good health and attractiveness of the region, these figures hide strong disparities within this very large territory.
Coastal premium
Unsurprisingly, the coastline absorbs a good part of this increase. Pyrénées-Atlantiques (+ 0.5% per year), Charente-Maritime (+ 0.5% per year), Landes (+ 0.7% per year) and Gironde (+ 1.3% per year , the largest increase in mainland France with Haute-Garonne) have all seen their populations increase in six years.
Without counting the Gironde, the littoral departments attracted between 3,520 and 5,160 additional residents per year, data already above the national average. It is also logical to find the Gironde (1,623,749 inhabitants), the Pyrénées-Atlantiques (682,621 inhabitants) and Charente-Maritime (651,358 inhabitants) in the top three regional places.
Vienne (+ 0.3% per year) and Deux-Sèvres (+ 0.1% per year) are the only departments that are not part of the coast whose population has a positive demographic balance. Dordogne (-0.1% per year), Haute-Vienne (-0.2% per year), Charente (-0.1% per year), Lot-et-Garonne (-0.1% per year), Corrèze (0% per year) and Creuse (-0.6% per year) have all seen, on average, their population stagnating or declining each year.
A two-speed rurality
According to INSEE, one in two neo-Aquitaine lives in rural areas. Here again, there are strong disparities between the so-called ?autonomous? rural municipalities and those under the influence of a pole. The first, the furthest from an employment or population center, house 1.4 million people. They lost an average of 1,500 inhabitants each year. The latter, on the outskirts of cities, benefit from the dynamism of urban areas and gain 10,100 inhabitants per year.
The Gironde, a demographic engine
Driven both by the coast and by the Bordeaux metropolitan area (three of which are in the regional top 10), the Gironde is the region’s demographic engine. It concentrates a quarter of the inhabitants of New Aquitaine and is ranked seventh among the most populous French departments.
A dynamism due in particular to a strong attractiveness which results in a positive migratory balance (more arrivals than departures) with 15,500 additional people per year. The effect is supported by an equally positive natural balance (more births than deaths) which increases the population by 4,150 inhabitants on average each year.
A dynamic maintained by a positive migratory balance
The Gironde is also one of the only two departments in the region to have a positive natural balance with the Vienne, respectively + 0.3% and + 0.1% per year on average. All the other departments see more deaths than births, in particular in Corrèze (-0.5%) and Creuse (-0.9%).
It is therefore the regional migratory balance which makes it possible to compensate for this negative natural balance (-0.1% per year). Proof of its attractiveness, the region also shows an annual migration balance (+ 0.6%) much higher than the French average (+ 0.1%). This dynamic does not prevent certain departments from losing inhabitants, such as Creuse (-710 inhabitants per year), which remains the least populated department in the region behind Corrèze.
The 10 largest municipalities
At the top of the ranking of the largest cities in the region, little suspense: Bordeaux, with its 260,958 inhabitants, + 1.2% per year. The Gironde prefecture is followed by another prefecture, Limoges (130,876 inhabitants, -0.5% per year).
Next come Poitiers (89,212, + 0.3% per year), La Rochelle (77,205, + 0.6% per year), Pau (75,627, -0.4% per year), Mérignac (72,197, + 0.9% per year), Pessac (65,245, + 1.2% per year), Niort (59,193, + 0.5% per year), Bayonne (51,894, + 1.5% per year) and Brive-la-Gaillarde (46,330, -0.2% per year).

The Australian interpreter Iggy Azalea, 31, bought on June 3 a country house-style property in the heart of Hidden Hills, en California, which has given him more than a headache due to the works he decided to do in the place, because he never imagined that he would be the victim of harassment from his neighbors, who are upset by the reforms he is doing to his home.
“On day 1 living in my new house and my neighbor bored housewife already tried to give me away for doing a construction in my own damn house,” the artist wrote annoyed on her Twitter account.
Day 1 living in my new house and my bored housewives ass neighbor already tried to snitch on me for doing construction in my own fuckin home. ??
Little does she know, fucking with her is now my new hobby and life?s work.
You live next to a Gemini now sweetie. Hi, I?m petty!
Although he did not detail what work caused the annoyance of his neighbors, what is known is that he is planning to build a recreational playground to Onyx, his son, only one year old.
It is believed that the remodeling works could last a year and a half, so the war with its neighbors has only just begun.
The property in question, which was built in 1963 and has an area of ???? 5,228 square feet, was bought by the celebrity after disbursing $ 5.2 million.
According to the technical sheet, released by various specialized media in the sale of real estate, the house has five bedrooms and five bathrooms.
It is completed inside with a kitchen, dining room, dining room, living room, main room, wine cellar, office, covered terrace, among other rooms.
The kitchen is open and quite spacious. It is equipped with a cupboard that combines beige with lemon, with high-end appliances, with a central island that works to prepare food and with a breakfast bar right next to a fireplace.
The main bedroom, which is where the artist probably sleeps, has a fireplace, a large dressing room, as well as more than enough room for a large bed and a living room.
Its bathroom has a vanity unit, a toilet, a shower with a transparent screen and a bathtub.
Outside, in their 1.06 acres of landIt has an outdoor terrace, extensive green areas, swimming pool, Jacuzzi, barbecue area, sports court, meditation area, trails, among other amenities.
It also has a guest house with one bedroom, one bathroom, kitchen, living room, main room and gym.
Privacy is another highlight, as the house is isolated from the street and surrounded by tall, leafy trees, so it is hoped that Iggy will not suffer too much with her nosy neighbors.
Before passing into his hands, the one-story house belonged to Jane Carrey, the actor’s daughter Jim Carrey.

We live near Düsseldorf, in Mönchengladbach on the Lower Rhine. From here we go on trips with Buddy again and again.
I just love Italy! Whether cities like Rome or Florence with a lot of culture, the sea or the food. As often as I’ve been in the country, we visited South Tyrol in northern Italy for the first time in June 2021.
We have been to Ko?obrzeg very often (Kolberg) on the Polish Baltic coast. In July 2021 we went a little further east.
A city trip with a dog? That worked out great in Frankfurt am Main with its many green spaces.
I like cycling a lot, because it allows me to go at my own pace and see a lot of the surroundings. With the e-bike I visited sights in August Münsterland. Since it was mostly flat and there were good bike paths, it was very pleasant to ride there.
There are five inhabited islands in the West Frisian Wadden Sea. After I was already in Terschelling fell in love, she went to the neighboring island in September 2021 Ameland.
Many opera fans dream of the Wagner Festival in Bayreuth. Others rave about the magnificent Margravial Opera House, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But there is still more to see!
The first trip is booked: In April we will visit the Dutch Texel island Martina from ?Dogs travel more? with her two ridgebacks.
