The first album of the group, So wie einst Real Madrid, is published in the year 2000.

Hi Manuel and the whole Entagma Team,
first thank you for your great blender tutorials, I learned a lot from it.
But I have one question. Let's imagine I would like to use another ratio of a picture, let's say I have an rectangular one with the ratio of 3068×4000. Is there a way in blender to use the ratio from the image for the grid, procedural?
Thanks and keep on going

This December, Jupiter and Saturn will put on a show for skygazers that hasn't been seen in roughly 800 years. Astronomers are calling it the Great Conjunction of 2020. On December 21 — coincidentally the winter solstice — the two largest planets in our solar system will appear to almost merge in Earth's night sky.
Jupiter and Saturn will align so closely in the night sky that they'll almost appear to collide from our vantage point here on Earth, creating a radiant point of light often referred to as the "Star of Bethlehem" or the "Christmas Star."
To catch a glimpse of the phenomenon for yourself, make sure you have a clear view to the southwest about 45 minutes after sunset. The planets will be at their closest on Dec. 21, but the "Christmas Star" will be visible from anywhere on Earth for about one hour after sunset in the northern hemisphere for the entire fourth week of December.
If you're viewing with a telescope, you may also be able to see Jupiter and Saturn's largest moons orbiting them that week.
The next Great Conjunction this close won't happen until March 15, 2080, so be sure to take a peek out your window for a brilliant Christmas treat.

By Dave Kelly, author of "Hiking Loreto"
Desert Hiking is quite different from hiking through other terrains and offers truly unique rewards. If you aren't familiar with it, you may think of the desert as hot, dry, harsh, hazardous and not very appealing. To the contrary, desert hiking can be extremely rewarding and pleasurable. The desert isn't always hot, and although you certainly may want to avoid the summer months, the winter offers great hiking temperatures. The desert terrain allows you to see for miles and therefore invites hiking even in areas without trails. Without trees, it is easier to manage crossing the desert keeping a distant destination in sight. Every area has been affected differently and carved by years of water, wind and ice erosion. The resulting variations in land formation include canyons, natural bridges, arches, windows, pinnacles, tufas, slot canyons, hoodoos, and sand dunes to name a few. You'll find plenty of solitude in the vastness of the desert landscape, and desert hiking offers countless opportunities to gain vantage points for outstanding views.
For those of you new to this area and hiking in the desert, the best tip we can offer is to hire a local guide. You will be rewarded with a wealth of information, you won't spend lots of time getting lost and you'll be helping the local economy. Most of the trails here are "Wilderness Trails", meaning there are no trail signs, no painted blazes, just an occasional cairn, that may or may not be marking the correct path. Be aware of landmarks along your hike so you can find your way back. Spending a night out in the desert unprepared can be an unpleasant adventure, as nighttime temperatures can be quite cold. Most vegetation in the desert has thorns or cactus barbs attached, but because the vegetation is also sparse (except for in the washes) it's easily visible and usually avoidable even when you're hiking off-trail.
Wear loose-fitting layers of natural-fiber clothing to help reduce your chances of becoming dehydrated. Sturdy shoes are a necessity in the desert. They give your feet support, traction and protection from cactus spines. Long pants and a long sleeve shirt will help too. A hat, sunglasses, kerchief and lots of sunscreen will help keep the powerful rays of the sun at bay. Temperatures can drop dramatically in the desert at night, and even if you don't plan to spend the night, you should bring along a warm sweater or jacket just in case you get lost. Always pack matches, a flashlight, a pocket knife and a well-stocked first-aid kit, and be sure to include a good pair of tweezers in case you need to pick cactus needles out of your skin.
Take plenty of fresh water with you. Drink at least 2-3 liters of water a day when you are hiking in the desert, and turn back when your water supply is half gone. Remember, there is very limited cell phone service and there is no organized rescue group. Take your day out seriously, be prepared and be smart.

A proposed change in City Code may increase recycling and green efforts in the Iowa City community.
By Naomi Hofferber
The first consideration of a motion to a change in City Code passed 7-0 Tuesday night at the Iowa City City Council meeting.
The amendment to City Code Title 16, Article 3H would require recycling services to be provided to apartment tenants, provide curbside food-waste collection services, ban computer monitors and televisions from the landfill, and require loads entering the landfill to be covered or secured.
"We've been working on some of these for a long time, so it's great that they're all coming to a head at once," said Jennifer Jordan, the recycling coordinator for Iowa City. "So much of what goes into our landfills is recyclable or doesn't need to be there; it has value somewhere else, it can be recycled or reused."
The goals of the amendment would reduce the landfill load by 15 to 16 percent; of the landfill, an estimated 17 tons is apartment recycling, 500 to 1,000 tons is food waste, and computer monitors and television sets are around 350 tons.
Chris O'Brien, the city director of Transportation Services, said that for developments built after Jan. 1, this would go into play automatically; but for existing developments, there would be a grace period for landlords to comply.
UI sophomore Jamie Porter, a member of the University of Iowa Student Government, and Jacob Simpson, UISG City Council liaison, both addressed the council in support of the amendment.
"At the university, we have the opportunity for students to recycle in the dorms and practice something that they've learned, and then a lot of the time, they have to go off campus, and they don't have that ability," Simpson said. "I think now that the city has taken this step to provide this in off-campus buildings, we cannot just see a benefit to Iowa City, but I think this is going to be something that benefits the state and beyond, as people become more accustomed to recycling."
Several councilors supported of the change, and the motion passed 7-0.
"I am absolutely thrilled by this achievement," Councilor Rockne Cole said.
For local Iowa City environmental advocates, this move is a step in the right direction. 100 Grannies, an environmental group that operates in the Iowa City area, has addressed the City Council previously in hopes of getting plastic bags banned and advocating the use of reusable bags. The group supports the proposed change.
"We support it very much, we've talked with them in the past and we've encouraged them we've been very vocal," Ann Christenson of 100 Grannies said. "Anything we can get the city to do, we're behind. Our motto is to educate, advocate, and agitate."

The song "Come Sail Away," performed by Styx in - 1977, I think - appealed to me then, and still does. Particularly the sections starting at 2:26, 4:23.
"STYX come sail away- lyrics"
aquwaman2021, YouTube (October 15, 2007)
video, 5:50
Naturally, being a bit on the geeky side, two lines that particularly appealed to me were
"...We climbed aboard their starship, we headed for the skies
Singing, come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me lads...."
A Science Fiction Song? Hardly
These comments or observations about "Come Sail Away" are, I think, sensible:"Come Sail Away is about reaching for your dreams (not about UFOs and alien encounters). The angels and the aliens are figurative voices encouraging you to "come sail away" to wherever your dreams would take you."And touching:
"The Grand Illusion / Come Sail Away"
Unofficial Styx Lyrics Archive
"When I was in 7th grade, my best guy-friend Jacob used to sing this song constantly...he died that November in an ATV accident and this song was played at his funeral...It brings me to tears everytime I hear it..it has so much meaning to me because of him, and I think of him everytime i listen to it..I'll always love this song because of him
"[offtopic] I miss you Jake... Nov. 9, 1990-Nov. 29, 2003"

Given a Choice, I'll Pick a Sense of Wonder Over Mutant Frogs
The Wildly-optimistic Utopias of early-20th-century science fiction were fun, but I don't see me trying to write something like that. On the other hand, I do hope to capture some of the sense of wonder I experience when learning more about this creation we're in.As someone in the Babylon 5 said: "I am both terrified and reassured to know that there are still wonders in the Universe."
