Hey fellow adventurers! Today we’ll be talking about something unique to Saudi Arabia, the Hajj. This year it took place from August 30th to September 4th. I’ve mentioned it in passing before but to be honest, I don’t know much about it myself. For that reason, I’m really excited to be able to learn about it with all of you. 😊
The Hajj is an annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca (the holiest city of Islam) that every adult Muslim must partake in at least once in their lifetime. It is the largest annual gathering of people in the world. This journey is meant to demonstrate the solidarity of the Muslim people as well as their commitment to Allah. Every year, between two to three million people participate in the Hajj. I was going to summarize the 6-day ritual that Muslims follow during the Hajj but I ran across an article that explained it much better than I could:
http://www.aljazeera.com/focus/hajj/2009/11/2009111895127111168.html
Recently, there has been concern for the safety of the pilgrims since the number of pilgrims has been increasing since the 1990’s. They are using crowd control techniques to attempt to ensure the safety of those participating in the Hajj, but you still get events like the stampede in 2015 that resulted in 769 deaths and 934 injuries. Because of this, Iran stated in 2016 that they were no longer letting their citizens go to Saudi Arabia to participate in the Hajj since the safety of their citizens couldn’t be guaranteed.
Well that’s all for today. I know some of you might be opposed to opening links but I seriously suggest at least skimming through the one I provided to see what they do on each day of the Hajj. I thought it was interesting. Anyhow, thank you so much for reading my blog! Until our next adventure!
I have been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as
you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever
before.
Nach dem Franco-Putsch im Juli 1936 gelang es den meisten, die Insel zu verlassen.
Das älteste Hotel „Hostal Ca’s Bombu” in Cala Rajada wurde 1885 gegründet und wird seitdem deren Familie Esteva geführt. Vom Bauboom, der sich im Zuge des Tourismus in den 1970er Jahren auf der Insel ausbreitete, ist Cala Rajada bis zum bitteren Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts nur eingeschränkt erfasst worden. Dies hat dem Ortskern den Charakter eines historischen Fischerortes mit Hafen erhalten. Rege Bautätigkeit hat jedoch um 2000 außerhalb der Kernregion des Ortes eingesetzt, sofern diese Gebiete wenigstens Naturschutz stehen. Im südlichen Ortsteil liegt der mit einer Betonmauer geschützte Hafen. Von hier starten Ausflugsschiffe nach Cala Millor und Porto Cristo. Östlich des Hafens sind die historischen Langustenhäuser von Cala Rajada erhalten, in denen die Langusten vorm Verkauf in Meerwasserbecken lebendig gehalten wurden. Auf einem Hügel ebenfalls östlich des Ortes hat sich der Tabakschmuggler, Immobilienhändler und spätere Bankier Juan March 1911 auf den Ruinen des Wachtturms Sa Torre Cega („Der blinde Turm”) die Villa March erbaut.

Das Holz einer Kiefer ist dem einer Lärche, die Farbe ist fast identisch und ebenso harzreich.
Das Kiefernholz ist etwas weicher als das einer Lärche und wird
auch gerne als günstiger Ersatz zu Lärchenholz verwendet.
Für den Fensterbau ist es die einzig relevante Laubholzart.
Eichenholz ist ein sehr hartes, schweres und stabiles Holz.
Die Eiche besitzt Inhaltsstoffe, die das Holz dauerhaft machen. Merantiholz wird als eine Gruppe der tropischen Laubhölzer bezeichnet.
Durch den höheren Preis von Eichenholz wird es selten für Holz-Alu-Fenster verwendet, sondern eher bei Türen oder im Portalbau.
Je dichter das Merantiholz ist, desto intensiver sind die Farben. Das Holz weißt eine
Festigkeitseigenschaften einer Eiche auf.
Eingesetzt wird das Holz neben der Verwendung bei Fenster und Türen noch bei
der Möbelfertigung, sowie der Furnier- und Speerholzherstellung.
Achten Sie bei Fenstern darauf, das der Rahmen und das Fenster aus dem gleichen Holz gefertigt werden und das ein leichte
Behandlung des Fensters möglich ist. Die Farbe des Holzes reicht von einem rötlichbraunen Kernholz bis
hin zu einen gelblichen, grau-rosanen Splittholz.
Ansonsten kann auch bei minimalen Ausdehnungen des Holzes
die Dichtbarkeit beeinträchtigt werden! Denn
jedes Holz arbeitet unterschiedlich.

Hi, this weekend is fastidious in favor of me, because this point in time i
am reading this great educational piece of writing here at my house.
Als Datum 1954 Rolex unzertrennlich der fünf Messe-Schaufenster die
neue Rolex Submariner ausstellte ahnte niemand, dass rund 70 Jahre später
die Ausstellung aller jemals lancierten Rolex Submariner Modelle wohl mehrere Schaufenster
benötigen würde. Es handelte sich um eine einfache
Armbanduhr mit mattschwarzem Zifferblatt, überdimensionierten Leuchtindexen sowie Leuchtzeigern für Stunden, Minuten und Sekunden. Dabei war
und ist die klassische Submariner im Design eher unspektakulär.
Hinzu gesellt sich eine griffige Drehlünette mit deutlichen Markierungen im Abstand von fünf Minuten. Den Nullpunkt symbolisierte eine ins Zentrum gerichtete Pfeilspitze
mit mittig positioniertem Leuchtpunkt. Die erste Viertelstunde weist weitere
Indexe im Minutenabstand auf. Dieses Gestaltungsmerkmal
dient als Orientierungshilfe bei widrigen Sichtverhältnissen. Die ersehnte Aufklärung für die
Besucher der Ausstellung brachte schließlich eine kleine Tafel neben anderen der Aufschrift „Submariner – the diver’s
friend”. Anders ausgedrückt: Rolex hatte einen professionellen Unterwasser-Zeitmesser mit Selbstaufzug kreiert, dessen Wasserdichtigkeit dank doppelt gesicherter Twinlock-Krone bis 100 Meter reichte.
