Jolly Roger - The Pirate Flag

Piracy is a war-like act committed by non-state actors (private parties not affiliated with any government) against other parties at sea. The term applies especially to acts of robbery and/or criminal violence at sea. People who engage in these acts are called pirates. The term can include acts committed on land, in the air, or in other major bodies of water or on a shore. It does not normally include crimes committed against persons traveling on the same vessel as the perpetrator (e.g. one passenger stealing from others on the same vessel). The term has been used to refer to raids across land borders by non-state agents.
Piracy is the name of an offence under customary international law and also the name of a number of offences under the municipal law of a number of States.
Piracy should be distinguished from privateering, which was authorized by their national authorities and therefore a legitimate form of war-like activity by non-state actors. This form of commerce raiding was outlawed by the Peace of Westphalia (1648) for signatories to those treaties. Historically, offenders have usually been apprehended by military personnel and tried by military tribunals. - Wikipedia

A Pirate Ship Miniature

Um pirata é um marginal que, de forma autônoma ou organizado em grupos, cruza os mares só com o intuito de promover saques e pilhagem a navios e a cidades para obter riquezas e poder. O estereótipo mais conhecido do pirata se refere aos Piratas do Caribe e cuja época áurea ocorreu principalmente entre os séculos XVI e XVIII.
O primeiro a usar o termo pirata para descrever aqueles que pilhavam os navios e cidades costeiras foi Homero, na Grécia antiga, na sua Odisseia. Os piratas são aqueles que pilham no mar por conta própria, embora hoje em dia este termo já seja aplicado a qualquer pessoa que viola alguma coisa (como por exemplo os piratas do ar ou os cyber piratas). - Wikipedia

Apartment Building in Ostia, Rome - by Grundschul Material Online

Artistic Interpretation Of An
Apatment Building In Ostia...

The beautifully preserved ruins of Ostia lie twenty miles from Rome, in the meadows between the Tiber River and the Tyrrhenian Sea. It was founded, probably in the 4th century BC, as a military colony to guard the river mouth against seaborne invasions. Later, during the centuries when virtually all imports reached the Capital via the Tiber, Ostia gained prominence as the domestic landing for cargo boats. By the 2nd century AD, it had become a flourishing commercial center inhabited by upwards of 100,000 people, whose apartment buildings, taverns, and grocery shops are still intact. - initaly.com


This model represents a apartment building in Ostia. When excavated, the first floor still had running water.

...And How It Looks Like Today.

As magníficas ruínas de Óstia se encontram a 20 milhas de distância de Roma, entre o Rio Tibre e o Mar Mediterrâneo. Ela foi fundada provavelmente no quarto século antes de Cristo, como uma colônia militar para guardar a foz do rio de invasões pelo mar. Depois, durante os séculos, quando tudo chegava à Capital através do Rio Tibre, Óstia ganhou importância como atracadouro para navios de carga. Por volta do século II depois de Cristo, Óstia tornou-se um centro comercial florescente, habitada por mais de 100.000 pessoas, cujos edifícios de apartamentos , tabernas e mercearias ainda estão intactos. - initaly.com

Este modelo representa um edifício de apartamentos romano em Óstia. Ao ser escavado, o primeiro andar ainda tinha água corrente.

Hanami Cherry Blossom - by Yamaha - Bosque de Cerejeiras

The Japanese people have long thought of the sakura (cherry blossom) as the flower which symbolizes the nation. It is mentioned in ancient myths, and the way its petals fall while still at the height of their beauty was interpreted by the old warrior class as symbolic of resignation and grace in death, qualities which the warriors rated highly. There are numerous cherry blossom viewing spots throughout the country and one of the pleasures of life among the Japanese is the chance to hold a sake drinking party beneath a grove of cherry trees in full bloom. -  Yamaha Paper Models


Os japoneses há muito tempo consideram a  sakura (flor de cerejeira), como a flor que simboliza a nação.
A forma como suas pétalas caem enquanto ainda estão no auge de sua beleza era interpretado pelos antigos guerreiros samurais como símbolo de resignação e de graça na morte, qualidades que eram muito valorizadas por esses guerreiros. Há árvores de cerejeira em praticamente todo o Japão e um dos prazeres da vida entre os japoneses é a chance de realizar uma festa bebendo saquê debaixo de um bosque de cerejeiras em plena floração. - Yamaha Paper Models

Jeep Paper Model - by SH Ilustration Studio

The Old Real Thing

Jeep is an automobile marque of Chrysler. The first Willys Jeeps were produced in 1941 with the first civilian models in 1945, making it the oldest off-road vehicle and sport utility vehicle (SUV) brand. It inspired a number of other light utility vehicles, such as the Land Rover which is the second oldest 4-wheel-drive brand. The original Jeep vehicle that first appeared as the prototype Bantam BRC became the primary light 4-wheel-drive vehicle of the United States Army and Allies during World War II, as well as the postwar period. Many Jeep variants serving similar military and civilian roles have since been created in other nations. - Wikipedia

The New Real Thing

Jeep é uma marca registada atualmente em nome da Chrysler LLC Group. O termo jipe virou sinônimo de automóveis destinados ao uso fora de estrada, ou off road, normalmente com tração nas quatro rodas. A palavra jipe é um aportuguesamento do termo em inglês jeep, derivado da pronúncia em inglês da sigla GP, que significa general purpose ou "uso geral", embora essa não seja a origem da marca Jeep.
O veículo surgiu durante o esforço de guerra americano, no final dos anos 1930 e início dos 40, em que era necessário um veículo leve, com capacidade de superar terrenos difíceis e com obstáculos, e com capacidade para levar alguns homens e armamentos. Ao final da segunda guerra, a Willys requisitou o registro do nome Jeep.
O primeiro protótipo foi o Bantan BRC cuja traseira é semelhante às traseiras do Jeep Willys e do Jeep Ford, mas a frente é arredondada, bem de acordo com o design típico do final dos anos 1930. - Wikipedia
