Hey fellow adventurers! Welcome back! There is so much history in Vatican City! In 1984, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) added Vatican City as a World Heritage Site. The whole country! Even though it’s quite a small space, there’s a lot to see! Today I’ll talk about the most famous landmarks at Vatican Square (I’m not focusing on artistic aspects).
St. Peter’s Basilica
St. Peter’s Basilica is considered by many to be one of the most renowned works of Renaissance art, and one of the holiest Catholic shrines. With a length of 730 feet (220 meters), width of 500 feet (150 meters), and height of 448.1 feet (136.6 meters), it’s the largest church in the world. It is a popular destination for pilgrimages, with anywhere from 15,000 to 80,000 people visiting each year to pray here. It is also the burial site of St. Peter and the first Pope. Aesthetically, a lot of people’s favorite part of the basilica is the dome.
St. Peter’s Square
St. Peter’s Square is a large plaza located in front of St. Peter’s Basilica. It was built by Bernini between 1656 and 1667. Bernini planned on building more but after Alexander VII’s death, construction was halted, and never resumed. During the summer, they hold the Papal Audience in St. Peter’s Square. During a Papal Audience, the Pope will typically talk for an hour and a half to two hours.
Sistine Chapel
Sistine Chapel is a chapel within the Apostolic Palace (where the Pope lives). It is the site of the Papal Conclave (the process of choosing a new Pope). It holds the artwork of many talented artists, but is most known for The Last Judgement by Michelangelo.
Vatican Museums
With both religious and art museums to choose from (and little else in general), museums are one of the most popular tourist attractions in Vatican City. Some of the most valuable Renaissance art pieces and classical sculptures reside here. The museums own around 70,000 works but only 20,000 are on display to the public. And when you buy a museum ticket, proceeds go to the Catholic Church.
Vatican Gardens
This one is a less popular tourist attraction but I still feel it deserved some attention. The gardens are very peaceful and beautiful. Nicholas III moved to the Vatican and decided to plant an orchard, a lawn and a garden to protect his residence. But it has grown and changed considerably since then.
Vatican Library
This next one is not a tourist attraction but I wanted to include it… well, because I wanted to. It was a short enough post that I could. The Vatican Library is the library of the Holy See. Formally established in 1475 (though unofficially it was around for longer), the Vatican Library is one of the oldest libraries in the world. It has about 1.1 million printed books, including 75,000 codices (plural form of codex) throughout history and 8,500 incunabula (text that was printed before 1501). The library is primarily a research library for history, law, philosophy, science and theology, and therefore is only used by those who prove they need to use the library for means of research in one of the fields previously mentioned. The Vatican Secret Archives are separate from the library, and contains another 150,000 items.
Well that’s all for today’s post! I hope you have an amazing weekend! And as always, until our next adventure!

We could have a hyperlink change arrangement between us
Theoretisch liefern User-Signale also wertvolle Anhaltspunkte für die Bewertung von Webseiten, über
den Daumen Relevanz der Suchergebnisse in Anlehnung an Suchanfrage für den Nutzer zu optimieren. Es Fragen aufwerfen, ob oder wie
Google diese Daten nutzt. Diese beiden Sätze der Einleitung habe
ich mir übrigens atomar Artikel hinsichtlich Nutzersignale “geklaut”,
den der Niels Dahnke hier beim OMT verfasst hat. Nicht umsonst predigt das Unternehmen geraume Zeit: “Baut Eure Webseite für die User und nicht für die Suchmaschine! Langfristig wird es immer wichtiger, weil Google immer fähiger wird, die Usability einer Seite zu bewerten. Aber egal, ob Google die Nutzersignale direkt oder indirekt nutzt, sie haben nachweislich einen Effekt auf das Suchmaschinenranking. Warum sollte diese Bewertung nicht auch in die Einstufung der Rankings mit einfließen? Nicht ausbleiben auch Webseiten, die partout nicht auf eine lange Verweildauer ausgelegt sind. Eine längere Verweildauer ist nicht auch ohne das besser. Das betrifft erst recht Webseiten, die ein einsamer klare Information vermitteln oder ein einfaches Ziel verfolgen.

Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Kassenrollen, Bonrollen und
Thermorollen? Grundsätzlich handelt es sich
bei den Begriffen Kassenrollen und Bonrollen um Oberbegriffe und Synonyme für Rollen die in Kassen oder Bondruckern Verwendung finden. Bei Thermorollen handelt es sich um Spezialrollen, die nur bei Thermodruckern zum Einsatz kommen können. Für Kassen und Drucker
mit Nadel oder Walzdruckwerk wäre die entsprechenden “Spezialrolle” eine Normalpapierrolle.
Sie sind auf einer Seite mit einer Schicht überzogen,
die unter Wärmeeinwirkung schwarz wird sagen wir mal das Druckbild ergibt.
Fälschlicherweise hat sich die Bezeichnung Bonrollen jedoch als Synonym für eben diese Normalpapierrollen durchgesetzt.
Warum sollte man beim Kauf von Kassenrollen auf die Qualität achten? Mit besonders billigen Kassenrollen können verschiedene Probleme auftauchen. Innerhalb der Thermorollen kann sich eine mangelhafte Papierqualität am schnellen Ausbleichen des
Drucks zu hören sein. Kaum feststellbar hingegen sind die im Papier
eingesetzten Chemikalien. Bei Kassenrollen aus Normalpapier und Thermopapier gleichermassen kann es bei schlechter Papierqualität zu
verstärkter Staubentwicklung kommen, der sich in Ihrem Drucker oder Ihrer Kasse absetzt
wie zum Beispiel die Lebensdauer erheblich verkürzen kann.
