Augustus Ceasar: A Historical Overview

Augustus Caesar, the first Roman emperor, left a lasting impact on the Roman Empire. His legacy continues to influence art, architecture, and politics to this day. From the establishment of the Pax Romana to the extensive building projects in Rome, Augustus’ activities shaped the world in his time and continue to resonate in modern society. His reign marked a significant transition in Roman history, and his efforts are still studied and admired by historians and enthusiasts alike.

If you are seeking to understand the modern-day remnants of Augustus’ activities, a visit to Rome would offer an immersive experience. The city is home to numerous landmarks, such as the Ara Pacis and the Mausoleum of Augustus, that stand as testaments to Augustus’ enduring impact. These sites and the stories they tell serve as a tangible link to the achievements of the iconic Roman emperor.

Pax Romina

The Pax Romana, or Roman Peace, had a significant impact on shaping the world we live in today. This period of relative stability and minimal military expansion within the Roman Empire facilitated the spread of ideas, culture, and trade across vast regions. The infrastructure built during this time, such as roads and aqueducts, continues to influence modern engineering and urban planning. Additionally, many legal and administrative principles developed during the Pax Romana still form the basis of contemporary governance systems. The legacy of the Roman Empire’s peace can be observed in various aspects of modern society, from language and architecture to law and government structures.


Progress, 😀 n a day…

A visitor highlights a movie made before he was born.

A scavenger and  his side kick go through  a waste receptacle.

What we do touches others

Three examples of activities  all three involve progress;

  • Oil flows maintenance  bloomes
  • Spare time and imagination blossom
  • Technologies catch up  to shopping carts

Who is  resisting  change,not me! It’s  progress that gives  it. We have a community  if we can keep it.

Good luck  HAL

Well being

Ride the trail not the tail.

What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?

So, one strategy is knowing that I don’t have the same problems as Jeremiah and well being is different in connotation.

So, well is first a state of mind, second a commitment and always a goal, to ride. like  a bronk. Raines make the man. Consultation makes the raines. So talk to the pros before you saddle up then drive those doggies home and corral a healthy lifestyle. Don give anything away!

Happy  creative  day

If  you’re  one that has Saturday for your own time. Take up  creatine  activities.  It will help you.

The main virtue is the  sense of freedom as the author of your work.  Don’t allow the critics  to stifle your sense of propriety there is always another market.

Good luck.

Wednesday Charm.

Midweek is the best day to make great choices.

I hear  you, is carbon dioxide responsible for global warming? Yes it is, it is not the only factor but its been the determinate of temperature for some time. And maybe not entirely how you think it is doing that.

Carbon dioxide is the chemical residue that is produced by the burning of carbon. Adding oxygen in two parts to the carbon through burning or the laws of thermal dynamics  will give that gas into the atmosphere where it can be taken up by plants and the two parts of oxygen are given off back into the atmosphere in photosynthesis .  Then we breath that oxygen and burn carbon in our cells when eating and by the delivery by blood.  Carbon dioxide is then taken back to our lungs expelled and available to plants.

So these processes are balanced by environment, the animals that take in and breath it out are  tuned by nature to the quantities of both CO2 and oxygen. So when PPM gets out of ballance species  go extinct and a transition driven.

So, unfortunately humans in these transitions may have to live with extremafiles for longer then they can possibly survive.

So lets look at an analogy, say the united human race party expelled a member into the environment that environment was in flux, lets call it an election mandate. That creature would have to adapt to different oxygen levels in the rooms that the party gathered in, however the community of extremafiles there-with would mitigate the transition and seek carbon that they were able to burn at their metabolic pleasure. Thus allowing the former UHR member to transition and that maybe in only few generations!

Call them election cycles, however if too much CO2 goes into the ocean environment ( call it the federal government ) Then more heat is not mitigated by cool water, lets call it government deficit spending,then the UHR guy has a real problem the environment is changing quicker then he can adapt and he faces extinction. If he is the only one left and to far out in the ocean to make it back to where the othes are hanging on in a pocket reserve, he is done.

His only hope is that a raft happens by and he migrates, And chance helps him, This spooky action is a coalition.

Then if to much coal is motioned the CO2 grandstands and thats it; extinction is inevitable.

Wait, one eon, some thermal vents interact with some UHR DNA, lets call it a research grant.It is in a isolated back committee room. Lets call that an abandoned caucus room.

Lets call that an independent movement to natural selection by adaptation… slim pickings!

Yes, CO2 changes the climate!

Gentle Tuesday jazz.

Have you ever had surgery?
What for?
The fall of the knife came taught,,
Classroom and practice bough relief.
So, cut on the line reverse the stain from,
WHEN PAIN HAD ITS GAIN.
