-THE BITCOIN ISLAND LIFE-

The Corinth Canal, Greece, is a man-made engineering marvel. This canal crosses the Isthmus of Corinth, connecting the Gulf of Corinth to the northwest with the Saronic Gulf to the southeast.

Before the canal was built, ships were forced to make a long journey around the Peloponnese peninsula, adding 320 kilometers to their journey.

Around 600 BC, Periander, founder of the Cypselide dynasty of Corinth, had the ingenious idea of transporting ships overland, using a kind of railway, the diolkos (parts of which can still be seen today), along which ships were pulled on wheeled carts across the isthmus.

This practice was used until about the 9th century, when ships outgrew the system.

In 1882, work began on the Corinth Canal, mostly by hand, and was completed 11 years later in 1893.

The canal walls rise to a height of over 80 meters, with a water depth of 8 meters and a length of just over 6 kilometers.

The canal is a popular tourist attraction; large ships are towed through the canal by small tugboats, a fascinating sight to behold.

I recently asked six high-functioning 94+ yos what the secret was to living a long life.

3 said lead a good life/have a good relationship with God.

2 said hard work.

1 said bourbon.

“Enlightened modernity ”... Or should one say: “Fiat modernity ”?

good morning

everything dies eventually so live it up!

Here are 10 European languages at high risk of disappearing, along with their estimated number of speakers:

1. Livonian (Latvia) – Fewer than 20 fluent speakers, mostly elderly.

2. Manx (Isle of Man, UK) – Around 2,000 learners, but no native speakers (revival efforts underway).

3. Cornish (UK) – Around 3,000 learners, no native speakers (revival efforts ongoing).

4. Votic (Russia, near Estonia) – Fewer than 50 speakers, almost extinct.

5. Karelian (Russia, Finland) – Around 20,000 speakers, but rapidly declining.

6. Aromanian (Balkans – Greece, Albania, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia) – Around 250,000 speakers, mostly elderly.

7. Sámi languages (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia) – Some dialects (e.g., Ter Sámi, Ume Sámi) have fewer than 50 speakers.

8. Breton (France, Brittany) – Around 200,000 speakers, mostly elderly, as French dominates.

9. Gagauz (Moldova, Ukraine, Turkey) – Around 110,000 speakers, but shifting toward Russian and Turkish.

10. Provençal (France, Occitan region) – Around 200,000 speakers, but French is replacing it.

These languages are endangered due to government policies, urbanization, and the dominance of national languages. Some, like Manx and Cornish, have active revival movements.
