The Behaim Globe is the world’s earliest surviving terrestrial globe. Created at the turning point between the pre- and post-Columbian eras, it is a milestone in the history of cartography. The globe was commissioned by the Nuremberg city council and was constructed and illustrated between 1492 and 1494, at the same time that Christopher Columbus was on his first and second voyages westward. The New World is not yet depicted; Eurasia and Africa still dominate the image of the world. Thus, in a unique way, the globe represents the crucial “productive mistake” that prompted Columbus’s westward voyage. The globe’s images and texts display about 2000 placenames, more than 200 cartographic symbols, and many inscriptions which report general knowledge from the time around 1500.

The markhor is the national animal of Pakistan.
The name is thought to be derived from Persian — (mâr = "snake, serpent" and the suffix khor = "-eater"), interpreted to represent the animal's alleged ability to kill snakes, or as a reference to its corkscrew-like horns, which are somewhat reminiscent of coiling snakes.
It is listed on the IUCN Red List as Near Threatened since 2015.

"The Spirit of Hope": The New Essay by Byung-Chul Han
https://ccmagazine.es/en/the-spirit-of-hope-the-new-essay-by-byung-chul-han/
As Byung-Chul Han points out, the German word for fear — Angst — comes from the Latina word angustia, meaning tensity and tightness. In other words, the greater our fear, the tighter our room of action. That is why someone who is anxious feels, in one way or another, cornered.
The antidote is hope, since, in the philosopher’s own words, “it leaves us with signs and markers along the way. Hope is the only thing that makes us move forward. It gives us meaning and direction […] And actions need a horizon of meaning.” Just as fear makes things impossible, hope, as defined by the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, is a passion for the possible.

"The Spirit of Hope": The New Essay by Byung-Chul Han
"The Spirit of Hope" of Byung-Chul Han is a profound reflection on the meaning of hope in a world increasingly desolate.
Hope versus optimism
In his latest essay, Byung-Chul Han makes a clear distinction between hope and optimism, which the philosopher sees as passive and limited. As he explains in The Spirit of Hope: "Optimism is devoid of all negativity. It knows no doubt and no despair […] The optimist is convinced that things will end up working out well," even though they don't view the future as an open field of possibilities.
His criticism of extreme optimism includes the misunderstood law of attraction: the idea that thinking of a positive result is enough to make it happen. This effort begins by nurturing hope itself, which, according to Byung-Chul Han, "often has to be specifically aroused and encouraged."
