la construction des Autoroutes en France - Les liaisons moins dangereuses 1972 www.dailymotion.com/video/xxi0ae?playlist=x34ije - Ministère de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire - Dotation par la France d'autoroutes modernes "nécessité vitale" pour palier à l'inadaptation du réseau routier de l'époque voué à la paralysie : le reportage nous montre des images d'embouteillages. Le ministre de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire dans les deux gouvernements de Pierre Messmer, de 1972 à 1974, Olivier Guichard explique les ambitions du programme de construction qui doit atteindre 800 km par ans en 1978. L'ouverture de section nouvelles va bon train : Nancy / Metz par exemple. Le reportage nous montre l'intérieur des bureaux d'études qui conçoivent ces autoroute dont la conception est assistée par ordinateurs dont le projet d'ensemble en 3D est visualisé sur un écran. La voix off nous informe sur le financement de ces équipements. Puis on peut voir des images de la construction du pont sur la Seine à Saint Cloud reliant l'autoroute de Normandie au périphérique, de l'échangeur de Palaiseau sur 4 niveau : record d'Europe précise le commentaire. Le reportage nous informe que des sociétés d'économies mixtes ont étés crées pour les tronçons : Paris / Lille, Paris / Marseille, Paris / Normandie. Pour accélérer la construction l’État a eu recours à des concessions privées par exemple pour le tronçon Paris / Chartres. "Les autoroutes changent le visage de la France : artères économiques favorisant le développement industriel elles permettent de revitaliser des régions en perte de vitesse et de l'intégrer dans le mouvement général de l'expansion" Sur le plan européen elles vont combler le retard de la France et réaliser son insertion. Images de l'inauguration de l'autoroute entre Paris et Bruxelles par le président Georges Pompidou. Le reportage rappel que l'autre fonction capitale des autoroute est de favoriser la sécurité. La question de la limitation de vitesse est posée au ministre de l’Équipement, qui n'y est favorable que sur certains tronçons. Un des facteur de sécurité selon le commentaire est l'humanisation des autoroutes : aires de repos, restaurants, signalisation touristiques... "Rien n'est impossible aux techniques modernes" nous apprend la voix off qui prend comme exemple le déplacement sur rail de 65 mètres d'un château classé afin de faire passer l'autoroute Lille / Dunkerque.Durée : 4 minutes 30 secondes

Sur les routes de France les ponts renaissent 1945 reconstruction de la France après la Seconde Guerre mondiale www.dailymotion.com/video/xuxrii?playlist=x34ije , Quelques mois après la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un triste constat s'impose : 5 944 passages sont coupés, soit plus de 110 km de brèches ; de nombreuses villes se trouvent isolées.Les chantiers s'activent dans toute la France pour "gagner la bataille des communications routières". Mais outre la pénurie de main d’œuvre, il faut faire face au manque de matériaux (béton, métal) et donc déployer des trésors d'imagination pour reconstruire les ponts détruits. Si le savoir faire des tailleurs de pierre est exploité, le plus spectaculaire est le relevage des ponts, comme le pont de Galliéni à Lyon, où 7 à 800 tonnes d'acier sont sorti de l'eau avec des moyens de l'époque. En avril 1945, il reste 5 700 ponts à reconstruire soit 200 000 tonnes d'acier, 600 000 tonnes de ciment, 250 000 m3 de bois, 10 millions de journées d'ouvrier, prix de l'effort de reconstruction.1945

www.dailymotion.com/video/xw6lak?playlist=x34ije - Rue neuve 1956 la reconstruction de la France dix ans après la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, villes, villages, grands ensembles réalisation : Jack Pinoteau , Panorama de la reconstruction de la France dix ans après la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, ce film de commande évoque les villes et villages français détruits puis reconstruits dans un style respectant la tradition : Saint-Malo, Gien, Thionville, Ammerschwihr, etc. ainsi que la reconstruction en rupture avec l'architecture traditionnelle à Châtenay-Malabry, Arles, Saint Étienne, Évreux, Chambéry, Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, Abbeville, Le Havre, Marseille, Boulogne-sur-Mer, Dunkerque. Le documentaire explique par exemple la manière dont a été réalisée la reconstruction de Saint-Malo à l'intérieur des rempart de la vieille ville : "c'est la fidélité à l'histoire et la force du souvenir qui a guidé l'architecte". Dans le même esprit à Gien, au trois quart détruite en 1940, seul le château construit en 1494 pour Anne de Beaujeu, fille aînée de Louis XI, fut épargné par les bombardements. La ville fut reconstruite dans le style des rares immeubles restant. Gien est relevé de ses ruines et le nouvel ensemble harmonieux est appelé « Joyau de la Reconstruction française ». Dans un deuxième temps est abordé le chapitre de la construction des cités et des grands ensembles, de l’architecture du renouveau qualifiée de "grandiose incontestablement".

Since 2001 we have been trying to find Digiscope solutions, from the perfect camera, adapters, lenses, eyepieces, scopes and mounting systems. Now we have great camera, lenses, eyepieces Super Scopes and mounting systems. To my way of thinking Adapters have always been a challenge and the weakest link in Digiscoping. The Manufactures of the adapters have been camera brand specific, over engineered, or have depended on the filter threads of a camera or camera lens to support totally the weight of the camera. No Good, I promise that no lens manufacture would recommend that. Referring to the term “over engineered” I am referring to adapters like the swing models. Personally I believe that they lack support for the camera and seem to be easily damaged while in the field. The new ATX/STX Swarovski seems to have corrected the major concern of camera support, not depending of the filter threads to support the camera system unlike the DCA or the DA-10 from Kowa what I currently use. I have broken in half 4 lenses in the past years using those systems before I tried Support Brackets like the TSN-DA3. Support brackets are great; the scope, eyepiece, adapter and camera are now one secure solid piece if one can remember to lock everything down. I have to confess that due to my negligence of not checking to see if everything was tightened I have send a Scope in for repair and ruined an expensive DSLR when it smashed on the asphalt road. Weight is another issue. The Kowa TSN-DA3 Digiscope Support Bracket weighs 2.58 pounds. The one I own went to a machine shop and all none structural Aluminum was milled away cutting the weight to just over 2 pounds. Some of my days in the field carry me 8 or more miles walking. So like a back packer every pound counts. Up until now the TSN-DA3 was very important to keep my kit functioning and secure. So I carried that 2 + additional pounds.

At the Space Coast Festival two different people showed me a new Adapter. Angie “just a birder” bought one she is excited and bragging about hers. It was of high quality machined Aluminum that will work with 4/3 camera as well as some DSLR and P&S cameras. A minor sleeve change (inner ring) and it will adapt to any spotting scope eyepiece. It is not expensive and best of all the weight of the camera stresses the scope not the filter threads of the lens. There for a support bracket is not necessary, cutting my carry weight 2+ pounds. I ordered one.

Yesterday I received my Digidapter. I watched the video on www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVGfQTd8UPQl for quick assembly instructions. I inspected it for deficits like over engineering or a key feature not considered. I could not any faults. It was designed for quality, for the speed and smoothness in mounting the camera on a scope coming back to same position each time without adjustment or alignment.

•The fasteners are of the highest quality, brass and stainless.

•The screw design for mounting the camera in the tripod mount is superior.

•The brass stop screws on the mounting plate are designed for finger tightening, no fear of stripping the brass parts from over tightening. The camera comes back to the same spot every time.

•The elevation plate has milled slots so only the provided Allen key is necessary to lock the camera in place.

•The camera does not have to be removed from the Digidapter to replace batteries and flash cards. .

• Coupling the camera to the eyepiece is a breeze. Close tolerance machining and the highest quality anodizing is why it is smooth and easy.

•To change from one scope manufacture to another or if the eyepiece is different in size all that is needed is a different inner ring, all of the other parts will remain the same. This means for those scope owners that would like a functional adapter for a Pentax, Celestron, Vortex or Vanguard scope it is now available at a reasonable price.

•Overall, it is solid and functional, easy to use, returns to the same position with each mounting. No binding, pieces glide together, no effort. Precision and effortless in use, protecting the camera and eyepiece from stress damage. No adapter that I have seen mounts the camera and has it ready to shoot faster, safer and with more precision.

•The Digidapter is the best I have seen.

The big question at the Space Coast Festival was would the new 20mm f/1.7 ll ASPH Lumix lens works with this adapter. That lens is short like a Pancake lens but it is about 2 inches in diameter. I phoned my order to Paul Sayegh the owner and designer of the Digidapter. We spent hours on the phone discussing the 4/3s and some of the unique lenses that this system is creating. I had the lens in hand with a pair of dial calipers. I measured and re-measured the key points of the lens and measurement in relation to the camera. I took and then emailed to Paul the photos of the GX 7 and lens and added the measurement to the photos. After receiving the photos we talked again and at Paul’s request I re-measured everything once more. In three days I received my Digidapter and it was perfect.

Paul is an engineer, a designer, a communicator and a great machinist with an advanced knowledge of stress and tolerances. Paul is a big lens photographer that found Digiscoping and knows the importance of Digiscoping as a tool in photography. Digidapter and Paul Sayegh deserve our support.

Lori Deiter and I planned to hike the Falls Trail on Feb 1st... It was decided to hike in from Rte 118 up to Onondaga Falls on Glen Leigh. Mark Van Scyoc and his friend, Doug Reese met us in the parking lot and we hiked up together to B. Reynolds and they left to hike up to the base of Ganoga Falls. My favorite / highlight of the day was the ice leading up to and around Ozone Falls - awesome.

 

There are sign-in sheets (Rte 118 and Lake Jean - so they know who and how many are on the trail in case of an accident) to fill out.. And you should have these items to safely hike the Falls Trail during Winter: Crampons, Ice Axe and Rope (~ 30ft). At the very minimum, Trekking Poles and Micro Spikes / Ice Cleats for your hiking boots. Trying to hike in sneakers is NOT advisable!

Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, No. #664

Why it works.

Steam in the top, compressed air out of the bottom. Dual action piston on top cycles automatically with a "Shortend Stroke" valve (that's the small rod in the center) to drive the main rod that compresses atmospheric air, intake from a filter, to a pressure vessel (tank) to maintain the brake line pressure. If the line is dumped, or slowly released, springs on each car in the train no longer hold the brakes away from the wheels, which apply the brakes until line pressure is restored, releasing the brakes by overcoming the springs. Each brake shoe is balanced in equilibrium with all the others, applying exactly the same dynamic pressure evenly along the entire train. There are many ways to compress air, this is the most common on steam locomotives.

 

Identical pumps can also be used to compress feed water into the boiler, so often there will be two compressors on the fireman's side of the engine. One to maintain the boiler water level and one to maintain the brake system air pressure.

 

Why not just use steam pressure? Steam pressure changes depending on the load of the locomotive and this isolates that variability. But more importantly, steam condenses into water when cooled, taking up less volume -decreasing the pressure - applying the brakes, and worse is the maintenance nightmare of water rusting the interior of the brake system parts. The moisture in the air, when compressed, precipitates out and is caught in the first pressure storage tank, which is why one finds a drain valve at the bottom of it.

Visitors to the Current show at the Serpentine Sackler Gallery, Hyde Park were directed by the Chapman Brothers with this message.

GET RID OF MEANING. YOUR MIND IS A NIGHTMARE.

Easier said than done when it comes to this art by the Chapman Brothers which features the familiar mutilated bodies and scenes of horrific torture and gruesome ritualised decapitations that do not necessarily contrive to horrify, as this sentence would appear to suggest.

The Chapman brothers are inclined to provide enough comforting context. We Monks were after all invited to enter a brand new swanky art gallery and no art lover as far as we are aware has thus far been harmed or traumatised by a Chapman image.

 

We entered cautiously and discovered the familiar grim images, scary in a "ghost train" kind of way. The Chapman Klansmen are comedy Klansmen with rainbow socks and comedy smiley faces. The Chapman crucified martyrs are nothing more than harmless corporate Ronald MacDonald effigies, and so very many of them as in the real world.

I found myself failing to "get rid of meaning" by comparing the Chapman Brothers to Richard Dadd, whose "Fairy Feller's" is arguably more horrific, given Dadd's state of mind, but far less horrifically explicit than the Chapman Brothers.

 

As far as we know the Chapman Brothers are not actually psychotic. They are more inclined to toy with the visitors most visitors go along with the toying. I could not fail to notice two American ladies failing to "get rid of the meaning" They provided me with an in-depth commentary on each particular scene of horror and mutilation as if Ronald MacDonald were a real person and these were scenes from a soap opera, a warped Nazi soap opera.

The miniature horror model show might also appeal to the model makers within all of us boys, seeking the same thrill you might get when you view an architect's model of a new airport or a shopping centre complete with little trees to provide context and scale.

 

For this reason I did wonder why The Chapman Brothers had not provided a model Hornby Nazi train-set to circulate about the corpses. Yes, I do believe that there is a train spotting model maker and dark grim humour within us all.

We Monks saw "Hell", the earlier Chapman Brothers work which featured similar miniature grotesque models in glass cases. These works which took years of endeavour to construct were destroyed in the cataclysmic MOMART fire in the 2004. They have now been recreated and re-imagined somewhat in the same spirit.

I discussed this with a young "curator" in the gallery. I discovered that the new Serpentine Sackler Gallery was in fact an 1805 listed building and formerly a depositary for gunpowder and such. I again found myself failing to "get rid of the meaning", so I changed the subject and I told her that I was a little scared to go into the central section behind the black curtain, from where I could hear the sounds of horror. She said that I should not be scared and that all would be well if I were to enter..

Beyond the black curtain masked members of the KKK were sitting amongst the visitors watching a Chapman movie. There I observed Mrs Monk sitting next to a KKK pointy hat both of them watching the horror movie as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

There was a Chapmanesque resonance in the movie but no fearful reaction from the visitors. Just the occasional knowing laugh.

The Chronicle article Aug 2005

 

Freemasons have been meeting for 125 years in West Elgin.

 

West Elgin Lodge 386 celebrated the anniversary with a black tie ceremony Nov. 5 at the Rodney Legion.

 

It's no secret the fraternity has been supporting the community.

 

By donating $21,000 for the Rodney pool when it was built and more recently $1,500 for St.Thomas-Elgin General Hospital the Freemasons have become the backbone of the area, said Andy Cipu, director of the ceremony Friday night.

 

Freemasons claim to be the oldest and largest worldwide fraternity dedicated to the brotherhood of man under the fatherhood of a Supreme Being.

 

At first, the Freemasons were stonemasons who built cathedrals in the 1600s. When cathedral building declined, the guild began to open its doors to other craftsmen.

 

The first recorded meeting in what is today, West Elgin, was the McColl Lodge, Nov. 6, 1879 at Trigger Hall, west of the village of Bismarck (West Lorne).

 

The first elected Master was Worship Brother Kenneth McKenzie and the first secretary was Worship Brother Hugh McColl, after whom the lodge was named.

 

The first meeting of the Rodney Lodge was held June 25, 1885, it is believed in the old Vogan Block on Furnival Road.

 

In the mid 1990s, both the McColl Lodge and the Rodney Lodge were declining in membership.

 

Cipu has been a Mason for 50 years. He recalls the work done to have the Grand Lodge and Board of General Purpose grant an amalgamation between the two Lodges.

 

On March 28, 2003 at the Rodney Temple, on Queen St., Cipu, the Grand Lodge Officer saw the West Elgin Lodge become a reality.

 

He said 14 new members joined the lodge last year and the fraternity is steeped with local prominence.

 

'We're really strong.' said Cipu.

 

Former mayors, doctors, funeral directors, church leaders and businessmen have frequented the lodge at its monthly meetings throughout the freemasons history here, said Cipu.

 

He said the group is not religious but religious in principle.

 

To be a member, the man must believe in a Supreme Being. No atheists allowed, said Cipu.

 

The fraternity is incorporated, serving the interests of local charities and morally supporting the leaders of local institutions.

 

?We do amazing things here,? said Cipu, adding the fraternity is open for more members.

 

At the 125 ceremony, Master Worship Brother Donald Mumby, from the Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario greeted a large concourse of members and wives.

 

Also, District Deputy Grand Master, George Akers and Worship Master, Kevin Schleihauf made presentations.

The last few days have been a flurry of activity with building on the river and wet lands. But, in between I have gone to a bunch of new places and back to some of my favorite venues.

 

Xavier & I love to salsa. So we did a search and wham, we found >Latin Palace Dance Club. Couples were dancing in dressy attire to wonderful salsa music. Wearing a tuxedo without a shirt and me in a short cocktail dress, it so reminded Xavier & me of Miami clubs.

 

A stopover at Organica to catch the last hour of DJ Qee's set woke us up with a nice psy jolt! So good to hear Qee's dynamic sounds and see old friends.

 

A brand new club called Fear FM sent me a tp. I got to meet owner/builder Cypher Webb. Beautifully built by Cypher, he was also spinning an awesome set of hardstyle and goth rock. I had a blast there. Cypher is also recruiting DJ's so peeps, give him a shout!

 

It was so late on Thursday night (Fri morn?) that I just had to stop off and say hi to DJ Xavi at The Cave. Owner Tasty Hax was there, too. I run into her at every party!

 

Friday afternoon, I got a tp from one of the builders. I ended up at Blackhearts 80's club. I love the funkiness of this club. So simple. It feels like a rock n roll club. Halloween was coming and the Pillsbury Dough Boy showed up! LOL!

 

Late night, and Xavier & I headed for DJ Nebulae's set at Piranha. Xavi loves this club. He set his JMD Effects hud on and we were in psy heaven. We always have fun at Shad's club!

 

In between all the craziness, I hit New Berlin's Electro Smog. Gee... I can't seem to get enough of this place. Zap Hax was hosting and DJ djleftydc Denja was spinning a sweet set of tunes.

 

Another new place I landed upon was Le Ghetto Hype. This is a fun club of alternative and eclectic tunes. Owner DJ Frederick Neberle & partner ARNAUD Mureaux have built a wonderful place to hang.

 

Off to Divaz Lounge! DJ 8wall Wrigglesworth just sent me a tp! OMG, 8wall is spinning at Divaz.

I met 8wall at Dance Island last year and then over at Nutrie. He spins a very chill set of house and minimal tunes.

 

But, the highlight of my night was at Old Factory listening to DJ Jeangilles Anthony. This frenchman is an artist. Beautiful industrial noise layered with a hardstyle beat... then transcending into experimental music... psychedelic experimental noise. LOL! and I fell asleep there... just couldn't leave!

 

Late night on Friday, Xavier and I ended up at DJ Digital Francis' Le Pardis de Digital Nation. It was an after party and Digi was spinning. Xavi & Digi started a "stump me" game. I think Digital was very impressed with Xavier's musical knowledge. They bro-downed the entire night leaving me and DJ Snowkitty dumbfounded... 'cause neither of us knew any of the tunes. LOL! I think Xavier has a new favorite dj now!

I came to this gallery every single day of our 4-day stay in Trinidad - mainly to look at (drool over) this painting. On the third day the owner of the gallery casa told me that she will contact the artist (Rudy Rubio) to ask about discount (gotta bargain a bit, right?:)) On the fourth day, after I heard Rudy is fine with the offered price, he came in & met us. We had about 1-hour long banter about this & that and I left with a new addition to our UK walls.

We arrived at Innisfree as soon as it opened at 10AM one mid-August morning when the entire Northeastern US was in the middle of a record heatwave. Despite the heat and humidity, we were able to make a quick 1.5 mile circle on the path around the deep glacial lake at the heart of this 150 acre garden before we wilted and had to return to our air conditioned car. The harsh mid-day light made photography challenging, as you can see. We learned that Innisfree, said by some to be one of the world's Ten Great Gardens, opens at sunrise on three occasions each year, and we are already planning another trip to the Hudson River Valley in the future when we hope we can see and photograph this amazing place under better conditions.

 

"Like the pyramids of Egypt or the Great Wall of China, Innisfree helps us to define what we mean by ‘civilization’. It’s one of the few places in this world that lived up to — nay, exceeded — my expectations."

David Wheeler, Editor, Hortus (2013)

 

"In the late 1920s, Walter Beck and his wife, avid gardener and heiress Marion Burt Beck, began work on Innisfree, their country residence in Millbrook, New York. Walter Beck’s fascination with Asian art influenced his painting, the collecting he and his wife pursued, and their ideas on garden design. In the 1930s, Beck discovered the work of 8th-century Chinese poet, painter and garden maker Wang Wei. Studying scroll paintings of his famed garden, the Wangchuan Villa, Beck observed that Wang created carefully defined, inwardly focused gardens and garden vignettes within a larger, naturalistic landscape. Wang’s place-making technique — christened “cup gardens,” by Beck — influenced centuries of Chinese and Japanese garden design. It is also the principal design motif in the Innisfree landscape. Like his Chinese predecessor, Beck created three-dimensional pictures in the garden, incorporating both rocks from the site and horticultural advice from his wife. Unlike Wang Wei, or perhaps more familiar figures like Lawrence Johnston, who used his cup-like rooms at Hidcote in England to draw one through a sequence of events and create an overall sense of place, Beck focused more on individual compositions. Relating these to each other and to the landscape as a whole was the genius of Lester Collins."

 

The genius of this place lies not so much in the ideas which the designers formulated for the cup gardens, many of which are disarmingly simple, but in the way they have been maintained over the years. Essentially, everything is allowed to settle into the prevailing spirit of the place; if it does not, it is removed. It is this sensitivity, care and attention to the qualities of landscape, natural and made, that make Innisfree such a memorable success.

Tim Richardson, Great Gardens of America (2000)

 

Western gardens are usually designed to embrace a view of the whole. Little is hidden. The garden, like a stage set, is there in its entirety, its overall design revealed in a glance. The traditional Chinese garden is usually designed so that a view of the whole is impossible. [It] requires a stroll over serpentine, seemingly aimless arteries. The observer walks into a series of episodes, like Alice through the looking glass." .

Lester Collins, Innisfree: An American Garden (1994)

Saturday 26 October 2013: Mandalay (မန္တလေး)

 

Our free day in Mandalay (မန္တလေး) (map) started with a walking tour of Ze Cho / Zegyo market, led by Josh, which was really interesting. The group then split into those who did a sight seeing tour with Josh as an optional extra (why not include it - as we found out, DIY in Mandalay is far harder than elsewhere), and Joelle, Anna, Miriam and I who opted to try out hand at taking in the sights on public transport.... where we had variable success: finding the bus stops near the market was tricky, but we had lots of help from local people (and even more offers from taxi drivers who wanted to take us on a tour), but unfortunately our first bus got a flat type somewhere on 32nd Street, and the next bus we hopped on to get us up to the cluster of pagodas north east of the Mandalay Palace (မန္တလေး နန်းတော်) complex charged us 1000k each (I think the local fare was closer to 100k-200k).... At least our adventures on public transport meant I got familiar with numbers written in Burmese script.

 

Along with the Palace, several of the pagodas are covered by a $10 combined ticket, but we decided to avoid those and focused instead on "the world's biggest book" - aka the inscribed marble 'tomb stones' at Kuthodaw Pagoda (ကုသိုလ်တော်‌ဘုရား) (although getting into it we took the "scenic route" around the perimeter walls and through some goat-filled woods). We did get to see the beautiful carved teak of the Shwe Nandaw Kyaung / Shwenandaw Monastery (ရွှေနန်းတော်ကျောင်း) through the bars of the railings that surround it, and the outside of the Atumashi Kyaung (အတုမရှိကျောင်း) monastery next door. We did a lot of walking, in vain, in search of the Sandamundi Pagoda - I think our directions/info was wrong as we wandered along long N-S streets and the military compounds that sit to the east of Mandalay Hill.

 

Having sat on a very slow bus back to the Ze Cho / Zegyo market area, we cut out losses and negotiated with a private taxi driver to take us to the sights south west of the city centre, which proved 3000k each well spent as he took us to the quiet (free) entrances to the stunning Maha Muni Pagoda (မဟာမုနိဘုရားကြီး), where the (male) faithful stick gold leaf offerings onto the ever growing Sacred Living Image of the Buddha, and the Shwe In Bin Kyaung, where we got to go inside the beautiful carved teak monastery building and to wander around the grounds (almost) all by ourselves.

 

At 4 o'clock we rendezvoused in the reception of the Silver Star Hotel, and were driven to Mandalay Hill (မန္တလေးတောင်), where sadly the rain impinged on our sunset views over Mandalay but (re)visting the Kuthodaw Pagoda en route (would have been nice to have been told that this morning). Still, dinner at the really super Super 81 made up for the rain - a feast, and a bargain to boot!

DE VLIEGERIJ EN ZIJN BETEKENIS VOOR HET MISSIEWERK

 

Een apart hoofdstuk over de missievliegerij lijkt me hier wel op z'n plaats, omdat de missie zonder dat bedrijf nooit had kunnen doen wat zij heeft gedaan.

Al lang was het duidelijk dat de missie in Nieuw Guinea op een gegeven moment gebruik zou moeten maken van eigen vliegtuigen. De bevoorrading van de posten over land zou op de duur een te grote belasting gaan vormen voor de plaatselijke bevolking. Bovendien zou de groei van de missie

belemmerd worden als er niet een betere en meer frequente manier zou worden gevonden om de posten in het binnenland te voorzien in hun materiële en personele behoeften. Missievliegerij was noodzakelijk wilde de missie blijven functioneren en uitgroeien. Gestart in 1958 zou de missievliegerij rond de jaren 1965-1969 zorgen voor een grote verandering: een verandering die niet alleen de bevoorrading van de posten betrof, maar ook het contact van de posten onderling. De radiozenders, die noodzakelijk waren voor het vliegverkeer, zorgden er ook voor dat de communicatie tussen de missionarissen beter en intensiever werd.

Over het ontstaan en de geschiedenis van de missievliegerij wil ik het hier niet hebben: die is elders al uitvoerig beschreven. Ook niet hoe missionarissen een eigen vliegveld moesten aanleggen en de problemen die daaraan verbonden waren, want zelf heb ik nooit een vliegveld hoeven aan te leggen en zijn mij de zorgen daaromtrent bespaard gebleven. Wel heb ik van mijn medebroeders vernomen dat het aanleggen van een vliegveld een heidens karwei was. Meestal volgde de ene ontgoocheling na de ander, voordat het vliegveld eindelijk goedgekeurd werd door de piloten. Niet dat de piloten in hun eisen onredelijk waren, maar zij waren zich terdege bewust van hun verantwoordelijkheden wilden het graag zelf ook overleven.

Meestal moest zo'n missionaris een paar jaar al zijn energie geven aan het aanleggen van een eigen strip. Wanneer hij dan eindelijk dacht klaar te zijn en een testvlucht kreeg (vlucht over de strip heen), kreeg hij meestal te horen wat er nog aan mankeerde wilde de strip goedgekeurd worden. En

met dat "wat er nog aan mankeerde" was hij weer vier maanden of een half jaar bezig... En dan nog was het niet zeker of zijn strip door de piloten voor 100 procent vliegwaardig werd bevonden. Meestal volgde er dan wel een

testlanding en als die goed verliep kwam de piloot een paar keer met een halve lading. Maar om een volle lading te krijgen moest er meestal dit of dat nog "even" in orde gemaakt worden. En dan kon de missionaris er weer "even" tegen aan gaan staan. En dan te bedenken dat die vliegveldjes vaak op een schuine kant van een helling lagen of achter een bergje, dat de aan- of uitvlucht bemoeilijkte. Had er eenmaal een crash plaats gevonden, dan had het vliegveld van die missionaris een slechte naam bij de piloten. Het gevolg was dat bij slecht weer een vlucht op zijn vliegveld al snel gecanceld werd.

Het aanleggen van zo'n strip was veel tijdrovender en problematischer dan een keer een opvoer over land organiseren.

Vliegen in Nieuw Guinea, vooral in het bergland, was een riskante zaak. Bergen, regen, mist, verraderlijke windvallen, snel wisselende weersomstandigheden: het waren allemaal dingen waar een piloot regelmatig mee te maken kreeg. Als piloot in Nieuw-Guinea moest je de risico's op hun juiste waarde weten in te schatten: niet te voorzichtig (want dan kwam je nergens), maar ook niet onbezonnen. Een flexibele geest was beslist noodzakelijk: op de juiste momenten moest je kunnen improviseren. Een goed oriëntatievermogen was eveneens gewenst, want het instrumentenbord van een Cessna was maar beperkt.

Bij aanvang van het eigen missievliegbedrijf was men er van uit gegaan dat het bedrijf door paters gerund zou worden. Dus ook de piloten zouden paters zijn. De achterliggende gedachte hiervan was o.a. dat de missionaris op een eenzame post zodoende ook eens een medebroeder op bezoek zou

krijgen. In praktijk is dat nog al tegengevallen. Die paters-piloten hadden er meestal nog een andere functie bij, zodat een nachtje overblijven bij een medebroeder er meestal niet in zat.

Waren priesters nu geschikt als piloot? Theo Jansen, een lekenpiloot, zei me eens:: "Paters hebben een verkeerde opleiding en instelling om piloot te zijn!" Ik geloof dat ik begreep wat hij wilde zeggen. Als je piloot bent, heb je

daaraan een volledige en verantwoordelijke job, die niet toelaat dat je er ook nog iets bij doet. Bovendien worden paters voor alles en nog wat gevraagd en kunnen vaak maar moeilijk weigeren. Een leken-piloot heeft daar minder last van: hij wordt veel minder voor iets anders gevraagd en kan gemakkelijker weigeren.

Van de drie paters die in Hilversum een pilotenopleiding hadden gevolgd, werd er één al direct bij aankomst in Nieuw-Guinea afgekeurd: hij bleek zich onvoldoende te kunnen oriënteren tussen de bergen. Bovendien was hij te zenuwachtig. De tweede maakte al spoedig een crash, waarbij de vier inzittenden ternauwernood aan de dood ontsnapten: van verder vliegen zag hij maar af. En de derde vloog in de mist tegen een boom : hij overleefde het niet. Het was dus geen succes, die vliegende paters franciscanen. Evenmin bij de broeders franciscanen. De eerste broeder verongelukte al bij de tweede of derde solovlucht: hij bracht het er gelukkig levend vanaf. De tweede broeder piloot vloog tegen een berg, waarbij alle inzittenden om het leven kwamen.

Lag het misschien aan de franciscanen dat het zo vaak mis ging? Het begon er wel op te lijken, want een broeder van de Kruisheren, die na zijn uittreden piloot bij de missievliegerij werd, bleek een zeer bekwame piloot te zijn. Maar ook hij kwam na jarenlang uitstekend vliegen bij een ongeluk om. Van de leken-piloten echter is, ofschoon ze bijna allemaal wel eens gecrasht zijn, niemand omgekomen (behalve dan die uitgetreden broeder en een Indonesische piloot). Vliegen was dus beslist niet zonder gevaren, en alle missionarissen hebben dat op een of andere manier wel eens ondervonden. Allemaal hebben ze wel eens een hachelijk moment beleefd. Zelf heb ik twee keer in mijn rats

gezeten.

Vanuit Enarotali moest ik eens naar Moanemani. Ik zou als eerste afgezet worden en de piloot zou met twee andere passagiers doorvliegen naar Timeepa en dan naar de kust. Waarom weet ik niet, maar onderweg besloot de piloot (Theo Jansen) van de route af te wijken en eerst naar Timeepa te

gaan. Vermoedelijk omdat het daar tegen de middag nogal eens winderig kan zijn met het risico van een landing met staartwind. Pater Zwartjes in Timeepa gaf, voordat hij zich naar het vliegveld begaf, via de radiozender aan ons door dat er geen wind was. Maar nog voordat hij op het vliegveld was aangekomen (een kwartier lopen) was de wind opeens opgestoken. Terug naar huis gaan om ons via de zender voor die wind te waarschuwen, had geen zin meer: we waren al vlak bij de strip. De piloot zette de landing in, maar boven de strip merkte hij dat de wind te sterk was en hij besloot door te starten. De wind was echter zo sterk dat hij geen hoogte meer kon maken. We vlogen recht op een Ekagi-hut af. Ik dacht: dit is het einde. Rakelings scheerden we over de hut. Daar waren we goed vanaf gekomen. Maar meteen deed zich het volgende probleem al voor: rechtdoor vliegen was onmogelijk vanwege de bergen die meteen achter de strip opdoemden.

De piloot was dus gedwongen om met geringe hoogte een bocht te nemen. Dat lukte hem ook wonder wel, al was het dat we tussen de bomen door vlogen. Misschien droom ik daarom nog wel eens dat we tussen bomen door vliegen en er niet uit kunnen komen. Een tweede landingspoging lukte beter, maar toen we uitstapten stond de piloot te trillen op zijn benen. Later hoorden we dat zich drie mensen in die hut bevonden en dat het vliegtuig alle dakbedekking van het huis had weggezogen.

Another new place I landed upon was Le Ghetto Hype. This is a fun club of alternative and eclectic tunes. Owner DJ Frederick Neberle & partner ARNAUD Mureaux have built a wonderful place to hang.

 

Off to Divaz Lounge! DJ 8wall Wrigglesworth just sent me a tp! OMG, 8wall is spinning at Divaz.

I met 8wall at Dance Island last year and then over at Nutrie. He spins a very chill set of house and minimal tunes.

 

But, the highlight of my night was at Old Factory listening to DJ Jeangilles Anthony. This frenchman is an artist. Beautiful industrial noise layered with a hardstyle beat... then transcending into experimental music... psychedelic experimental noise. LOL! and I fell asleep there... just couldn't leave!

 

Late night on Friday, Xavier and I ended up at DJ Digital Francis' Le Pardis de Digital Nation. It was an after party and Digi was spinning. Xavi & Digi started a "stump me" game. I think Digital was very impressed with Xavier's musical knowledge. They bro-downed the entire night leaving me and DJ Snowkitty dumbfounded... 'cause neither of us knew any of the tunes. LOL! I think Xavier has a new favorite dj now!

Wednesday 25 July 2012: Les Contamines-Montjoie - Auberge Le Truc (1,720 m) - Refuge de Miage (1,560 m) - Col de Tricot (2,120 m) - Bellevue (1,800 m) - Col de Voza (1,653 m) - Les Houches - Les Bossons

 

Day 12 of our Tour du Mont Blanc, on Exodus' Mont Blanc Circuit trip - a clockwise circumambulation of the Mont Blanc massif

  

Today would bring us back into the valley of Chamonix-Mont Blanc, and it felt far too soon to be returning to Les Bossons. Suddenly the end was nigh....

 

After our final tent wrangling, and Stephen and Ian demonstrating their double act tent-taking-down skills for the rest of us, we said au revoir lovely Camping Le Pontet and walked down to Les Contamines, turning off at the signpost for Le Truc. A steep climb up through pine trees eventually brought us out above the tree line at Auberge Le Truc (1,720 m). The morning's blue skies and bright sun made for poor photos of the Glacier du Miage and the peaks above, including the elusive Mont Blanc and the Aiguille de Bionnassay.

 

A descent into the next valley brought us to the Refuge de Miage (1,560 m) in its stunning location below the glacier and the Dômes de Miage (but the sun was still working against my photos!). Refreshed by coffee and cake (I declined the blueberry tarte at 7€ a slice...), we commenced the long haul and many zigs and zags up to the Col de Tricot (2,120 m). En route, it did indeed feel frustrating to have lost the 200m between Auberge Le Truc and Refuge de Miage! Still, the views from the col were smashing - north into the Bionnassay valley with the line of the Mont Blanc Tramway just discernable, and south back over the Miage valley and to the ridges beyond. A great spot to rest for a while.

 

The next stretch took us down into the Bionnassay valley and more great views of the peaks and glaciers of the Mont Blanc Massif up to our right, and we lunched with a stupendous view looking up the Glaicer de Bionnassay at the Aiguille de Bionnassay and Dôme du Goûter.

 

Accompanied by Alpine Roses, flowers and woodland we descended towards the Torrent de Bionnassay, and crossed, carefully, over the cable suspension bridge. A very busy section followed, up to Bellevue where the tramway and the cable car from Les Houches deposit strollers, hikers and mountaineers alike. Those with tired legs opted for the cable car down, the rest of us continued to the Col de Voza (1,653 m) and then took the black run down to Les Houches - the sandy/scree track made for tough going on the knees.

 

Having made a rainy rendezvous at a bar in Les Houches, we squeezed onto the bus back to Les Bossons - hello again Camping Les Marmottes .... and BONJOUR MONT BLANC! Yes, at last.... we realised what we'd missed on our arrival... the amazing views of the Glacier des Bossons, Mont Blanc and the Aiguille du Midi - and many more peaks and ridges besides. The colours turned from blue to white to rose pink as the sun set. Beautiful.

Ύμνοι

Ύμνος λόγων του Θεού|Οι ζωές όλων των όντων της Πλάσης προέρχονται από τον Θεό | Δοξάζουμε τον Παντοδύναμο του Δημιουργού

 

Η ζωή που χάρισε στον άνθρωπο ο Θεός δεν τελειώνει,

 

αδέσμευτη από σάρκα, χρόνο, ή χώρο.

 

Αυτό είναι το μυστήριο της ζωής, η απόδειξη του δώρου της ζωής απ' τον Θεό.

 

Οι άνθρωποι μπορεί να πιστέψουν ή όχι ότι η πηγή της ζωής είναι ο Θεός,

 

αλλά απολαμβάνουν ότι προέρχεται απ' τον Θεό.

 

Εάν ο Θεός άλλαζε γνώμη κι ανακτούσε όλο τον κόσμο και τη ζωή Του,

 

τότε όλος ο κόσμος και τα ζωντανά όντα, όλη η πλάση θα χαθεί για πάντα.

 

Ο Θεός δίνει την ζωή Του για να τροφοδοτεί τα πάντα.

 

Η δύναμη και η εξουσία Του φέρνουν καλή τάξη,

 

μια ακατανόητη αλήθεια μαρτυρία της ζωτικής ενέργειας του Θεού.

 

Τώρα ο Θεός θέλει να σου πει ένα μυστικό:

 

Το μεγαλείο κι η δύναμη της ζωής Του, βρίσκεται πέρα από τα όρια των πλασμάτων Του.

 

Έτσι είναι τώρα και για πάντα.

 

Ο Θεός είναι η ζωοδόχος πηγή όλης της πλάσης σ' όλες τις μορφές της.

 

Όλα τα ζωντανά όντα ακολουθούν το μονοπάτι που έφτιαξε ο Θεός.

 

Μέσα από την φροντίδα και πρόβλεψη του Θεού ο άνθρωπος λαμβάνει το δώρο της ζωής,

 

χωρίς αυτά χάνει την αίσθηση της αξίας και τον σκοπό στην ζωή.

 

Αν ο άνθρωπος αποτύχει να εκτιμήσει όσα του απονέμει ο Θεός,

 

ο Θεός, ο Δημιουργός, θα τα πάρει όλα πίσω.

 

Οι αποζημιώσεις του ανθρώπου θα είναι βαριές για όλα αυτά που ο Θεός έχει δώσει στον άνθρωπο.

From discoverchester.co.uk/St.John's.html

 

"The ancient Church of John's was founded by the Saxon King Aethelred of Mercia in AD 689. It was later enlarged in AD 907 by Aethelreda, the daughter of King Alfred the Great and her husband Aethelred. At that time Foregate Street will have been a mere track through the forest, outside the ancient city walls.

 

According to legend: "King Ethelred, minding to build a church, was told that where he should see a white hind, there he should build a church, which hind he saw in the place that S. John's now standeth".

 

Another legend says King Edgar spent time at St. John's in AD 973 to receive homage of the sub-kings of England Scotland and Wales. Legend has it that King Edgar the Peaceful was crowned in Bath, in 972, and was then rowed up the river Dee by eight vassal Kings from North-western Britain, as a token of their submission, from Chester Castle to the church of St. John's where he took oaths of obedience."

The summit of Crich Hill is reputed to have been the site of a Beacon Fire, which signalled the sighting of the Spanish Armada in the English Channel in 1588. It is believed that after the thrashing the Spanish received from Drake, his ships and the good old English weather, it was again used to celebrate the victory. In 1988 this most famous naval victory was again celebrated on its 400th anniversary with a new Beacon Post and Brazier being built and in 2002 it was again rebuilt as a cairn and brazier to commemorate HM The Queen's Golden Jubilee.

 

In 1734 there were a number of small lime kilns on the Hill and the public footpath which runs across the Hill to Crich is believed to have been used by Salt Merchants who packed the salt on horses or mules, transporting it southwards from the Cheshire area.

 

THE TOWER

 

The first record of any tower type structure is during the reign of King George III (1760) when a wooden tower was erected to provide both a landmark and a place from which to take in some of the best views available. It is thought that this tower was erected to mark his accession to the Throne. Owing to its wooden construction in such an exposed area, it only lasted about 25 years before being demolished. In 1788, Francis Hurt paid the princely sum of 210 to have a conical limestone tower with a wooden top constructed on the site of the old tower. By about 1843 the conical tower was in such a poor state of repair that a decision was taken to rebuild and in 1849 some of the stones of this conical tower were used to build the base of the new circular tower that was built from grit stone.

 

The circular tower was opened in 1851 (the year of the Great Exhibition) and it had a stone stairway winding up inside. An engraved tablet set in the wall at the top showed that the tower was 955 feet above sea level.

 

It could be said that this tower was the forerunner of The Sherwood Foresters Memorial. In June 1856 it was the scene of a jubilant crowd celebrating the end of the Crimean War (1854-56) and Sergeant Wetton of the 95th Derbyshire Regiment, a resident of Crich, was carried to the top of the Hill in a specially adapted chair as he had lost a leg at the Battle of the Alma (20th September 1854). There is no doubt that he would have been happy that the war was over, but it is certain that he would have remembered his Regimental Family and the comrades who never came home. In 1881 the 95th Derbyshire Regiment joined the 45th Nottinghamshire Regiment to form The Sherwood Foresters.

 

In June of 1882 there was a major landslide in the area of the quarry and this had a serious subsidence effect on the tower, lightning strikes and further minor movements of the ground in the immediate area resulted in the closing of the tower to the public for reasons of safety.

Смотреть христианский фильм на реальных событиях «Честность бесценна» Только честные войдут в Царство Небесное

 

Чжэнь Чэн был владельцем ремонтной мастерской. Он был добрым, честным и занимался бизнесом, соблюдая все правила. Он никогда никого не обманывал, но заработанных денег едва хватало на содержание семьи. Спустя время член семьи, который также был мастером, убедили его использовать неписаные правила ведения бизнеса. Чжэнь Чэн начал верить в поговорки, которые представляют сатанинскую философию, такие как: «Человек без дополнительного дохода никогда не разбогатеет, также как лошадь, не поевшая сена ночью, никогда не прибавит в весе», «Смелый умирает от сытости, робкий умирает от голода», «Деньги – это не самое главное, но без них ты ничего не сможешь сделать» и «На первом месте – деньги». Чжэнь Чен лишился чистой совести, которой он руководствовался прежде, и начал пускаться на различные ухищрения, чтобы зарабатывать больше денег. Несмотря на то, что его зароботки возросли, а уровень жизни улучшился, Чжэнь Чен тем не менее чувствовал себя несчастным, и его мучило чувство опустошенности; жизнь была бесцельной и наполненной страданиями.

 

После того как Чжэнь Чэн принял работу Всемогущего Бога последних дней, он понял, что Бог любит честных людей и презирает обман. Чжэнь Чэн также осознал, что быть честным – это единственный способ поступать как истинный человек и единственный способ достичь Божьей похвалы, и поэтому он поклялся быть честным человеком. Однако быть честным человеком в реальной жизни оказалось не так просто: с братьями и сестрами в церкви он мог быть предельно открытым, но смог бы он зарабатывать, обладая такими качествами в деловом мире? Не исключено, что он не только зарабатывал бы меньше, но мог столкнуться с большими убытками и риском потерять свою мастерскую. ...Перед лицом таких трудностей сможет ли Чжэнь Чэн честно вести свой бизнес? Какие неожиданные взлеты и падения произойдут в ходе этого? Какой будет его высочайшая награда?...

The Holy Monastery of Saint Nicholas of the Cats.

 

“It is wonderful to see them, for nearly all are maimed by the snakes: one has lost a nose, another an ear; the skin of one is torn, another is lame: one is blind of one eye, another of both. And it is a strange thing that at the hour for their food, at the sound of a bell, they collect at the monastery and when they have eaten enough, at the sound of that same bell, they all depart together to go fight the snakes.” - The Venetian Francesco Suriano (1484)

Oddity Central

 

The Monastery of Saint Nicholas of the Cats is regarded as a sacred cat haven in Cyprus, as it’s name has been linked to felines for almost 2,000 years.

 

The original monastery was built in 327 AD, by Kalokeros, the governor of Cyprus appointed by Constantine the Great, and patronised by Saint Helen, the mother of Constantine the Great. At that time, a terrible drought affected the whole of Cypus, and the entire island was overrun with poisonous snakes which made building the monastery a dangerous affair. Many of the inhabitants left their homes and moved off the island, for fear of the snakes, but Saint Helen came up with a solution to the plague – she ordered 1,000 cats to be shipped in from Egypt and Palestine to fight the reptiles.

 

In the following years, the cats did their duty, hunting and killing most of the snakes in the Akrotiri Peninsula, which soon came to be known as the “Cat Peninsula”. The monks would use a bell to call the cats to the monastery at meal time, and then the felines were dispatched to their snake-hunting duties. Pilgrims from all around Europe traveled to the Holy Monastery of Saint Nicholas to see its feline guardians, and the discovered documents of a Venetian monk describe them as scarred, missing various body parts, some completely blind as a result of their relentless battle against the snakes.

 

According to the writings of Father Stephen de Lusignan, in 1580, the Byzantine monks at the Monastery of Saint Nicholas were awarded the surrounding lands, on one condition – they had to take care of at least 100 cats and feed them at least twice a day. Legend has it, the cats were so well trained they knew that when the bell rang once they had to go hunting for snakes, and when it rang a second time, it was meal time at the monastery.

 

During the Turkish invasion, the Monastery of Saint Nicholas of the Cats was completely destroyed and its residing monks slaughtered or taken into captivity. Left without food and shelter, the cats left and wandered around the island, which explains the large number of cats currently living in Cyprus. Even now, locals appreciate their help in getting rid of the snakes centuries ago, and take good care of them, even if they’re strays.

 

After being rebuilt and abandoned several times, the modern history of the Monastery of Saint Nicholas of the Cats began in 1983, when it was assigned to a group of nuns. When they arrived there wasn’t a cat in sight, but the number of snakes was once again overwhelming, so they did exactly what Saint Helen did over 1,500 years ago – they brought in a couple of cats. Their numbers grew, over the years, and there are now six nuns at the monastery and over 70 felines. Many people bring abandoned cats to this place, and the nuns take them in.

 

The Monastery of Saint Nicholas of the Cats receives a small subsidy from the government, but that isn’t enough to take care of the entire feline population, so the nuns rely on donations made by locals or cat-loving tourists.

Le procédé dit de coffrage glissant est illustré sur le chantier des tours Pablo Picasso à Nanterre. Le principe est de s'affranchir des échafaudages : le coffrage épouse le contour du bâtiment, il s'élève avec la construction et permet de réaliser simultanément l'ensemble des murs verticaux.

Des exemples concrets sont présentés afin d'illustrer l'utilisation des différentes innovations : les coffrages outils, coffrage glissant, le tunnel, des procédés pour accélérer le durcissement du béton. Le procédé dit de coffrage glissant est illustré sur le chantier des tours Pablo Picasso à Nanterre. Le principe est de s'affranchir des échafaudages : le coffrage épouse le contour du bâtiment, il s'élève avec la construction et permet de réaliser simultanément l'ensemble des murs verticaux. Au centre du plancher de travail, une grue distribue en continu le ferraillage et le béton.

Le reportage se penche ensuite sur la préfabrication en usine. Ces procédés de préfabrication en usine selon le commentaire sont bien adaptés aux pays en voie de développement, cela est illustré dans le reportage par une réalisation en Libye à Benghazi. Dans la course à l'allégement des matériaux un procédé l'isola béton est présenté. Un chapitre sur la construction métallique explique les avantage de ce procédé. La fabrication de composants ouvre de nouvelles perspectives à l'industrie du bâtiment.

la construction des Autoroutes en France - Les liaisons moins dangereuses 1972 www.dailymotion.com/video/xxi0ae?playlist=x34ije - Ministère de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire - Dotation par la France d'autoroutes modernes "nécessité vitale" pour palier à l'inadaptation du réseau routier de l'époque voué à la paralysie : le reportage nous montre des images d'embouteillages. Le ministre de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire dans les deux gouvernements de Pierre Messmer, de 1972 à 1974, Olivier Guichard explique les ambitions du programme de construction qui doit atteindre 800 km par ans en 1978. L'ouverture de section nouvelles va bon train : Nancy / Metz par exemple. Le reportage nous montre l'intérieur des bureaux d'études qui conçoivent ces autoroute dont la conception est assistée par ordinateurs dont le projet d'ensemble en 3D est visualisé sur un écran. La voix off nous informe sur le financement de ces équipements. Puis on peut voir des images de la construction du pont sur la Seine à Saint Cloud reliant l'autoroute de Normandie au périphérique, de l'échangeur de Palaiseau sur 4 niveau : record d'Europe précise le commentaire. Le reportage nous informe que des sociétés d'économies mixtes ont étés crées pour les tronçons : Paris / Lille, Paris / Marseille, Paris / Normandie. Pour accélérer la construction l’État a eu recours à des concessions privées par exemple pour le tronçon Paris / Chartres. "Les autoroutes changent le visage de la France : artères économiques favorisant le développement industriel elles permettent de revitaliser des régions en perte de vitesse et de l'intégrer dans le mouvement général de l'expansion" Sur le plan européen elles vont combler le retard de la France et réaliser son insertion. Images de l'inauguration de l'autoroute entre Paris et Bruxelles par le président Georges Pompidou. Le reportage rappel que l'autre fonction capitale des autoroute est de favoriser la sécurité. La question de la limitation de vitesse est posée au ministre de l’Équipement, qui n'y est favorable que sur certains tronçons. Un des facteur de sécurité selon le commentaire est l'humanisation des autoroutes : aires de repos, restaurants, signalisation touristiques... "Rien n'est impossible aux techniques modernes" nous apprend la voix off qui prend comme exemple le déplacement sur rail de 65 mètres d'un château classé afin de faire passer l'autoroute Lille / Dunkerque.Durée : 4 minutes 30 secondes

Sur les routes de France les ponts renaissent 1945 reconstruction de la France après la Seconde Guerre mondiale www.dailymotion.com/video/xuxrii?playlist=x34ije , Quelques mois après la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un triste constat s'impose : 5 944 passages sont coupés, soit plus de 110 km de brèches ; de nombreuses villes se trouvent isolées.Les chantiers s'activent dans toute la France pour "gagner la bataille des communications routières". Mais outre la pénurie de main d’œuvre, il faut faire face au manque de matériaux (béton, métal) et donc déployer des trésors d'imagination pour reconstruire les ponts détruits. Si le savoir faire des tailleurs de pierre est exploité, le plus spectaculaire est le relevage des ponts, comme le pont de Galliéni à Lyon, où 7 à 800 tonnes d'acier sont sorti de l'eau avec des moyens de l'époque. En avril 1945, il reste 5 700 ponts à reconstruire soit 200 000 tonnes d'acier, 600 000 tonnes de ciment, 250 000 m3 de bois, 10 millions de journées d'ouvrier, prix de l'effort de reconstruction.1945

www.dailymotion.com/video/xw6lak?playlist=x34ije - Rue neuve 1956 la reconstruction de la France dix ans après la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, villes, villages, grands ensembles réalisation : Jack Pinoteau , Panorama de la reconstruction de la France dix ans après la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, ce film de commande évoque les villes et villages français détruits puis reconstruits dans un style respectant la tradition : Saint-Malo, Gien, Thionville, Ammerschwihr, etc. ainsi que la reconstruction en rupture avec l'architecture traditionnelle à Châtenay-Malabry, Arles, Saint Étienne, Évreux, Chambéry, Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, Abbeville, Le Havre, Marseille, Boulogne-sur-Mer, Dunkerque. Le documentaire explique par exemple la manière dont a été réalisée la reconstruction de Saint-Malo à l'intérieur des rempart de la vieille ville : "c'est la fidélité à l'histoire et la force du souvenir qui a guidé l'architecte". Dans le même esprit à Gien, au trois quart détruite en 1940, seul le château construit en 1494 pour Anne de Beaujeu, fille aînée de Louis XI, fut épargné par les bombardements. La ville fut reconstruite dans le style des rares immeubles restant. Gien est relevé de ses ruines et le nouvel ensemble harmonieux est appelé « Joyau de la Reconstruction française ». Dans un deuxième temps est abordé le chapitre de la construction des cités et des grands ensembles, de l’architecture du renouveau qualifiée de "grandiose incontestablement".

Кто же на самом деле Мудрые девы?

 

Библейские стихи для справки:

 

«Тогда подобно будет Царство Небесное десяти девам, которые, взяв светильники свои, вышли навстречу жениху. …Мудрые же, вместе со светильниками своими, взяли масла в сосудах своих. …Но в полночь раздался крик: вот, жених идет, выходите навстречу ему. Тогда встали все девы те и поправили светильники свои. …и готовые вошли с ним на брачный пир, и двери затворились» (Мф. 25: 1,4, 6-7, 10).

 

«Овцы Мои слушаются голоса Моего, и Я знаю их; и они идут за Мною» (Ин. 10:27).

 

«Это те, которые следуют за Агнцем, куда бы Он ни пошел» (Откр. 14:4).

 

«Ибо Агнец, Который среди престола, будет пасти их и водить их на живые источники вод; и отрет Бог всякую слезу с очей их» (Откр. 7:17).

 

«Просите, и дано будет вам; ищите, и найдете; стучите, и отворят вам» (Мф. 7:7).

 

Классические слова Бога:

 

«Пять мудрых дев означает число людей… Вот причина, по которой их попросили приготовить масло в последние дни. (Творение не обладает Моим качеством; если сотворенные желают быть отнесенными к мудрым, тогда им необходимо приготовить масло, и поэтому им нужно оснастить себя Моими словами.) Пять мудрых дев олицетворяют Моих сыновей и Мой народ среди сотворенных Мною людей. Они именуются «девами», поскольку, хотя они и рождены на земле, но, тем не менее, они обретены Мной; можно сказать, что они стали святыми, поэтому они именуются «девами»».

из «Слова и свидетельства Христа в начале эпохи»

Some tips on how HTML should be structured

Professor of Biological Sciences

 

From the Princeton Review:

“Students are much more likely to learn difficult concepts if they find the concepts fascinating,” says Craig Woodard, a professor of biological sciences at Mount Holyoke College.

 

In getting students excited about the topics being discussed, he brings his own enthusiasm to the classroom. He works hard keep up with the research literature in the field, and brings to the table the experiences he has as the principal investigator of a genetics/molecular biology research lab. A “very approachable and straightforward” lecturer, he also puts all his lecture notes online, makes it clear what the quizzes and tests will focus on, “tries to keep the class’s stress levels to a minimum.” “He treats all his students with respect,” and is “always willing to meet with people.”

 

His courses include Genetics & Molecular Biology, Eukaryotic Molecular Genetics, and Biology in the Age of the Human Genome Project, which focuses on the science behind the Human Genome Project and the ways in which it will change our lives. Most of his teaching is done in the traditional lecture style (some case studies are used), which he supplements with animations. He encourages questions and comments from students (“even when it is a large class in a lecture hall”), and students say that “he is incredibly approachable and thoughtful and is passionate about genetics.”

A 'kitchen sink solution' on jobs

By: Chris Frates

June 15, 2011

The center-left Washington think tank Third Way is holding a forum Wednesday to discuss the merits of allowing companies to bring the $1 trillion in profits parked overseas back to the United States at a temporarily reduced tax rate.

The morning forum at Union Station will include Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.); Democratic Reps. Loretta Sanchez of California and Jared Polis of Colorado; former Service Employees International Union President Andy Stern; Duke Energy chief executive Jim Rogers; and George Schink, managing director of Navigant Economics.

Third Way’s vice president of communications, Sean Gibbons, said the forum is designed to determine whether the idea — which is anathema to many liberals — is a viable option for jump-starting U.S. job growth.

“We have unemployment near 9 percent. We’ve basically pulled every single lever we can as a government. … We’ve done almost everything we can to get the economy going. It’s time to throw in the kitchen sink. This is a kitchen sink solution,” Gibbons said. One trillion dollars “is a lot of coin. It’s sitting overseas. If we could bring over a significant portion of that back into the economy, we believe that would stimulate demand, and demand stimulates jobs.”

It’s not a perfect solution, Gibbons said, but one the Republican-controlled House might be willing to entertain.

He acknowledged that analysts don’t yet know how many jobs such a policy might create. But, he said, bringing money back to the U.S. creates demand, which in turn drives hiring.

The forum is the first public event of the think tank’s new corporate tax reform project directed by former Rep. Dan Maffei (D-N.Y.), who’s now a Third Way senior fellow.

Right now there is over a trillion dollars in global profits earned by American businesses sitting overseas. What if we lowered the bar for companies to bring that money back home?

 

Third Way hosted an Idea Forum that examined the economic and policy implications of a repatriation tax holiday that would allow American multinational companies to bring overseas profits back to the U.S. for investment at a reduced tax rate.

 

Featuring a distinguished panel of leaders from business, labor, economics and government, the forum offered a fruitful discussion of a repatriation holiday’s impact on hiring and investment, business practices, and future tax policy. Participants include Senator Kay Hagan, (D-NC), Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez (CA-47), Congressman Jared Polis (CO-2), Andy Stern, former President of the Service Employees International Union, Jim Rogers, CEO of Duke Energy and Dr. George Schink, Managing Director and Principal of Navigant Economics.

 

This Idea Forum is the first public event of Third Way’s new corporate tax reform project, managed by former Congressman (and now Third Way Senior Fellow) Dan Maffei, which will advance ideas to make the code fairer, simpler, and more pro-growth.

On Isola Bella in Lake Maggiore.

  

Views taken from inside the Borromeo Palace, of the other islands, and areas around the palace.

  

Isola Bella (Lago Maggiore)

 

Isola Bella (lit. 'beautiful island') is one of the Borromean Islands of Lago Maggiore in north Italy. The island is situated in the Borromean Gulf 400 metres from the lakeside town of Stresa. Isola Bella is 320 metres long by 400 metres wide and is divided between the Palace, its Italianate garden, and a small fishing village.

 

Until 1632 the island—known only as l’isola inferiore or isola di sotto—was a rocky crag occupied by a tiny fishing village: but that year Carlo III of the influential House of Borromeo began the construction of a palazzo dedicated to his wife, Isabella D'Adda, from whom the island takes its name. He entrusted the works to the Milanese Angelo Crivelli, who was also to be responsible for the planning the gardens. The works were interrupted around middle of the century when the Duchy of Milan was struck by a devastating outbreak of the plague.

 

Construction resumed when the island passed to Carlo’s sons, Cardinal Giberto III (1615–1672) and Vitaliano VI (1620–1690); the latter in particular, with the financial backing of his elder brother, entrusted the completion of the works to the Milanese architect Carlo Fontana and turned the villa into a place of sumptuous parties and theatrical events for the nobility of Europe.

 

The completion of the gardens, however, was left to his nephew Carlo IV (1657–1734). They were inaugurated in 1671.

 

The island achieved its highest level of social success during the period of Giberto V Borromeo (1751–1837) when guests included Edward Gibbon, Napoleon and his wife Joséphine de Beauharnais, and Caroline of Brunswick, the Princess of Wales. It is said that Caroline, having fallen in love with the place, did her best to convince the Borromeo family to sell her Isola Madre or the Castelli di Cannero islands; her request being turned down, she established herself on the banks of Lake Como at Cernobbio in the Villa d’Este.

“Republicans have chosen slogans and symbolism over substantive proposals,” said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) at a Center for American Progress Action Fund event Monday. Hoyer spoke at the event about congressional Republicans’ “lockstep opposition” to working with Democrats on crafting and passing major pieces of legislation this year that deal with serious challenges facing the country, including health care, climate change, and the economic stimulus. This stubbornness has earned Republicans—who are the minority party in Congress—the nickname “the party of no.”

Hoyer listed several examples of Republican obstructionism this year. House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) was quoted as saying that his party’s approach to the president’s agenda was going to be to “just say no.” Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) read a 300-page amendment to the House clean-energy and climate bill in June to delay a vote. And earlier this month Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) circulated a “how-to” guide to all his Republican colleagues that outlined how Republicans can obstruct and hold up needed health care reforms in the Senate.

What makes this obstructionism worse, said Hoyer, is that Republicans aren’t putting forth any ideas of their own. Instead, they’re spending all of their energy criticizing Democrats and the president. Hoyer approached his friend and colleague Rep. Roy Blount (R-MO) and asked him for alternatives to the health care legislation the House passed last month. Blount didn’t offer Hoyer anything.

The Democrats may view the Republicans’ pigheaded strategy as benefitting them by causing the Republicans to be viewed as unproductive and negative. But Hoyer said “that is not good for Congress or our nation’s future.”

“When Congress doesn’t have two parties talking, less substance is debated openly,” Hoyer explained. Power devolves from Congress toward the Federal Reserve, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the courts. And the divisiveness does the public a disservice since people expect their representatives to do something about the issues they’ve deemed important, such as entitlement programs, out-of-control health care spending, and climate change.

Just because a party is in the minority doesn’t mean they have to unequivocally oppose everything the majority does. A “history of constructive minorities shows how much we should expect and demand of them,” Hoyer said. He pointed to the 1964 Civil Rights Act, when President Lyndon B. Johnson reached across the aisle to Senator Minority Leader Everett Dirksen (R-IL), who helped form a coalition to pass the bill and wrote parts of it. A more recent example is Senator Edward Kennedy’s (D-MA) push to help pass President George W. Bush’s No Child Left Behind Act in 2001.

Hoyer went on to say that, “I have not just talked this talk—I have walked it.” He has worked with Rep. Bob Ney (R-OH) on the Help America Vote Act and with Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) on the Americans with Disabilities Act, among others.

Hoyer thought pressure from the public and within the Republican party itself could overcome the deadlock in Congress. “The rank and file of the Republican party is not comfortable with ‘the party of no,’” he said, and the public expects lawmakers to “engage constructively.” The pressures facing the nation at times prevail over the pressures that divide it—this was true when House Speaker Newt Gingrich and President Bill Clinton balanced the budget in the late 1990s.

Republicans were able to step up earlier this year, as well. Hoyer highlighted the Republicans who voted for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in February. “There are still those willing to act,” he said.
