But the Pentagon and the Potala weren't built with a ridiculous amount of marble. This bldg. also contains one of the world's largest chandeliers, large enough to contain a platform for maintenance workers to walk around on inside it.

 

- I arrived here in Bucharest late the night before my last full day in Romania. I stayed at a hostel I think or the cheapest digs I could find. The options were relatively expensive and I did much walking that night in search of something affordable. The next morning I hiked over to and up and along the wide Bulevardul Unirii, lined by huge, concrete constructions and divided by a long string of art nouveau fountains down the centre (the last of which you see here in the foreground) to 'the People's Palace' in the Centru Civic. (The stretch reminded me of the approach up University ave. to Queen's Park in Toronto, but on a lengthier, more massive scale and with greater uniformity.) This fountain was dry, but other identical ones further east were filled with water and were active. I recall seeing a surprising number of stray dogs roaming @ in packs along the Bulevardul.

 

- I bought a ticket to join an organized tour of this massive pile.

- "In 1971, Ceauşescu visited North Korea and returned full of admiration for the grandiose avenues of Kim II Sung’s Pyongyang. In 1977 a massive earthquake reduced large parts of Bucharest to rubble and left over 1,500 dead. While this prompted the construction of several major city projects, incl. a new metro system and an airport, it also provided Ceauşescu with the perfect excuse to implement his megalomaniac vision for the city. In 1984, he set out to remodel Bucharest as “the first socialist capital for the new socialist man”, and to create a new administrative centre which was to be “a symbolic representation of the 2 decades of enlightenment we have just lived through”. In truth, this Centru Civic was intended to embody the state’s authority and that of Ceauşescu himself, and implementation entailed the demolition of 1/4 of Bucharest’s historic centre (@ 5 square km.s), said to be slums damaged earlier by the earth-quake, but in fact containing 9,000 largely undamaged 19th cent. houses, whose 40,000 inhabitants were relocated in new developments on the outskirts of the city. There was worldwide condemnation of this vandalism, particularly since many old churches, a hospital and a monastery were to be swept away. Though some of the churches were reprieved, they're now surrounded by huge, modern apt. blocks. The core of the complex was largely completed by 1989, just in time for the dictator’s overthrow." (RG)

- "Uniting the two halves of the Centru Civic is Bulevardul Unirii, at 4 km.s long and 120 m.s wide, slightly larger (intentionally so) than the Champs-Élysées after which it was modelled. Midway along is Piaţa Unirii (“Square of the Union”) [where I'm standing as I take this shot, or closeby], an oversized expanse of concrete dominated by traffic, and ... the best place from which to view [this]."

- "Dominating the entire project from the western end of B-dul Unirii is the colossal Palace of Parliament (Palatul Parlamentului), claimed to be the 2nd-largest administrative building in the world - after the Pentagon - measuring 270 by 240 m.s, and 86 m.s high. It epitomizes the megalomania that overtook Ceauşescu in the 1980s; here he intended to house ministries, Communist Party offices and the apartments of high functionaries. Built on the site of the former Spirei Hill, which was razed for this project, the sheer size of it can only be grasped by comparison with the toy-like cars scuttling past below. It has 12 storeys, 4 underground levels (including a nuclear bunker), a 100 m.-long lobby and 1100 rooms, around 1/2 of which are used as offices while the remainder are redundant. The interiors are lavishly decorated with marble and gold leaf, and there are 4,500 chandeliers (11,000 were planned), the largest of which weighs 1.5 tonnes, but the decoration was never complete due to the Ceauşescus’ ever-changing whims. They were demanding patrons, allowing little more than a technical role to the architects, of which there were @ 700 – one staircase was rebuilt 3 x before they were satisfied. The floor pattern – which mirrors the layout of the bldg. itself – was apparently designed that way so Ceauşescu wouldn’t get lost."

- "This ultimate white elephant was officially known as the Casa Republicii, then as the Casa Poporului, but more popularly as the Casa Nebunului (“Madman’s House”), before taking on its present name. The new government spent a long time agonizing about an acceptable use for it, and in 1994 it was finally decided to house the Senate and Parliament here; it is now also used for international conferences. The standard tour is a 45-min. trek through 10 of the most dazzling, most representative or simply the largest of the halls, such as the extraordinary, glass-ceilinged Sala Unirii ('Unification Hall'), where legendary Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci was married in 1996. One of the last rooms you’re led to is the Alexandru Ioan Cuza room, whose balcony offers defining views of the city." (RG)

- I had only the one day in this city and did much walking, but the only other site or sight I devoted time to (at least a full afternoon) was the National museum of History in the former 'Postal Services Palace' (1892), with 8000 square m.s of floor space and @ 60 rooms of exhibits. The LP writes that it's "strong on Romania's ties to ancient Rome" and I recall an impressive plaster cast of Trajan's column. I bought a few postcards of exhibits that impressed me (as one does), including one of an octagonal, golden 'vase', with leopards for handles, 1 of 12 solid gold items from the 'Pietroasele treasure' (of the original 22), late 4th cent., Goth, and discovered in 1837 in Pietroasele, Buzău. "The multiple styles of the items, in which Han Chinese styles have been noted in the belt buckles, Hellenistic in the golden bowls, Sasanian motifs in the baskets, and Germanic fashions in the fibulae, are characteristic of the cosmopolitan outlook of the Cernjachov culture in a region without defined topographic confines." (Wikipedia) www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8Qe9r12eZE

- I bought another of a large, abstract idol (800 grams of pure gold, thought to represent a fertility or mother goddess but resembling a breast-plate, 31 cm.s in length), 1 of 4 items from the neolithic, 4th mill. BC, Moigrad treasure, associated with the Bodrogkeresztúr culture of Chalcolithic Hungary, and one of the oldest treasures found anywhere. There's no shortage of invaluable, beautiful and detailed Dacian hoards and treasures of pure gold on show in the 'Treasury room', incl. the famous, elaborate Coţofeneşti helmet. The Thracians and the Dacians were marvelous goldsmiths.

- In the vast displays re more recent Romanian history, I saw Grigorescu's 'The Attack in Smârdan' (a scene from the War of Independence [1877-78]). www.wikiart.org/en/nicolae-grigorescu/sm-rdan-attack-1878

 

- "According to legend, Bucharest was founded by a shepherd named Bucur who built a settlement in the Vlăsia forest, later recorded as a 'citadel on the Dâmboviţa' in 1368, and named Bucharest in an edict from the time of Vlad III Dracula (r 1456-76). Over the centuries, both Târgovişte and Bucharest have served as the Wallachian capital, but the latter finally secured its claim in 1659, its position at the convergence of trade routes to Istanbul outweighing Târgovişte’s defensive advantages in the Carpathian foothills. As the boyars moved into the city they built palaces and churches on the main streets radiating from the centre; these streets were surfaced with timber baulks and were known as 'bridges' (poduri). Despite earthquakes and periodic attacks by Turks, Tatars, Austrians and Russians over the course of its history, the city continued to grow and to modernize. New boulevards were driven through the existing street pattern in the 1890s, after the style of Haussmann’s Paris, and still form a ring road and the main north–south and east–west axes of the city today. Most of the major bldg.s, such as the Romanian Atheneum and the Cercul Militar, were designed by French or French-trained architects and were built in the years immediately preceding WWI. It was @ this time that the city was dubbed the “Paris of the East”, as much for its hectic and cosmopolitan social scene [but only for the well-to-do] as for its architecture. ... " (RG)

 

- I saw some of the romantic and eclectic contributions to the city from those French architects imported by King Carol I in 'la belle epoque', incl. the impressive entrance to the Beaux Arts 'Cantacuzino palace' (1901-02) with its clamshell-shaped porte-cochere. On Aug. 10, 1913, the Treaty of Bucharest was signed there at the end of the 2nd Balkan War.

- I happened upon the Athenaeum (1888, architect Albert Galleron [French]), a round, domed, neoclassical concert hall and the loveliest bldg. in Bucharest. Its exterior is beautiful, but the interior is more impressive from what I've seen online. "A 75-by-3-m. fresco by Costin Petrescu on the inside of the circular wall of the hall depicts the most important moments of Romanian history, from the Roman conquest of Dacia to the realization of Greater Romania in 1918." www.jacksonfineart.com/artists/david-leventi/romanian-ath... "On Dec. 29, 1919, the Athenaeum was the site of the conference of leading Romanians who voted to ratify the unification of Bessarabia, Transylvania, and Bukovina with the Romanian Old Kingdom to constitute Greater Romania." (Wikipedia)

 

- I'll only mention a few misses in Bucharest (incl. a concert in the Athenaeum).: The small but lovely Storck museum foto.agerpres.ro/foto/detaliu/13028645 ; certain 16th to 19th cent. Orthodox churches, incl. the Patriarchal Cathedral (1665-'68), seat of the Romanian Orthodox Church; and the National Art museum in the former Royal Palace with its fine gallery of Romanian Medieval Art, and some Brâncuşi in its gallery of local Modern Art.

 

- From Bucharest, late in the afternoon or in the evening of May 12, with my visa set to expire, I took a train south the 64 clicks (1 hr. and 45 min.s according to the RG) to the border-town of Giurgiu (Jee-er-jeeoo). I didn't know it then, but I was travelling on the first and oldest rail-line in Romania, built in 1869.

- "As a fortified city, Giurgiu featured often in the wars for the conquest of the lower Danube. It was the site of the October 1595 'Battle of Giurgiu' [/b/ the Austrians and the Ottomans] and was a theatre of war in the struggle of Michael the Brave (1593–1601) against the Turks and in the later Russo-Turkish War (1787-1792). It was burned in 1659." (Wikipedia) I just passed through.

- I crossed the border and the Danube via the 'Giurgiu-Ruse Friendship Bridge' into Bulgaria (currently the only Bulgarian bridge across the Danube), said a sad goodbye to Romania, and arrived in the city of Ruse (Roo-see, I think).

  

So, Bulgaria! I had crossed again from one country into a very different neighboring country. It seemed to be more modern, with far fewer 'time capsules' (which I love, as you know), but then with some much older churches and sites and sights to be toured. It's less Western European, without Transylvania's gothic features and Romania's ties to Italy, Germany, Hungary and France. It's very Balkan (of course) with a Byzantine flavour, a resident in a very different neighborhood (notwithstanding that the Dacians were a subgroup of the Thracians, who according to Herodotus were the most populous race known to the ancient Greeks, after the Indians). The historical spotlight in popular culture or imagination (in the west at least) would seem to shift back and forth /b/ the countries, from glorious, accomplished Thrace in the 1st mill. BC, land of Orpheus, Dionysus and of gold, neighboring ancient Greece; to Dacia north of the border in the times of its struggles with Rome, Decebalus v. Trajan, the Iron Gates, etc.; then back south to the medieval Byzantine period and the Bulgarian kingdoms of the late 1st and early 2nd mill.s; and back again to Romania with its colonization by the Magyars and then by the 'Saxons', and its conflicts with the Turks.

 

- I found Bulgarians to be generally more shy and quieter than Romanians (the hitch-hiking was poor there, which is consistent with shyness. I took the train most often). But once they'd made your acquaintance, Bulgarians would make a point to be generous I found, often exceptionally so.

- I found a real appreciation for the relatively abundant, modern abstract art in Bulgaria, including wonderful socialist-realist art unlike anything I'd ever seen before. Much of it was very creative. And the food there was very different as well. I'd say it was much closer to Greek cuisine. Shopska salad with feta cheese and olives was had everywhere. (I've never eaten so much salad anywhere else, apart from in the FYR of Macedonia.)

 

- The Bulgarian authors of the guide-book I’d made copies from, and of a book or booklet re Bulgarian history that I bought and which was on sale everywhere, were a bit prone to an excessive pride in Bulgaria I found, which is the way of things in the Balkans generally. The booklet made such claims as, for example, that Bulgarians had invented brain surgery as ancient trepanning tools had been discovered. The frescoes in the Boyana church in Sofia are held out as anticipating Giotto and as evidence that "but for the Turkish yoke, Bulgaria would have ushered in the Renaissance" (to paraphrase). But the Italian Renaissance was about much more than achievements in art. The fact is that Bulgarians chafed under 'the Turkish yoke' for 5 long centuries, as any occupied people would, and so naturally they look to the west and ask what their society might have become and might have achieved if not for their subjugation.

 

- I spent @ a month and a 1/2 in Bulgaria, and saw a fair bit in the northern 2/3rds of the country. I followed a guidebook (I forget which, I'd made photocopies) which I later learned left much to be desired. Almost nothing was written up in that guide re the southern 4th or 5th of the country, which has several sites I would've loved to have seen, incl. the cave of 'the Devil's throat', down into which Orpheus is said to have descended to Hades to retrieve Eurydice. (But the now-famous shrine to Dionysus [who was Thracian!] and site of an oracle consulted by Alexander the Great, and the tomb which is a candidate for that of Orpheus at Tatul, hadn't been excavated and were unknown to tourism in 2000.) The biggest miss was what could be the trippiest, most off-the-hook Soviet or Communist-era ruin anywhere (which is saying something), which was within walking distance of Shipka, a place I visited. (I'll write about it in the description to my photo taken at Shipka.)

 

- I forget how and where I met him upon my arrival, but I was invited to stay at the home of a kind, local man I met in Ruse. The hospitality was just as wonderful in Bulgaria as it was in Romania or moreso. I didn't spend a cent on accommodation for at least my first 7 nights in the country.

 

- My host took me on a small walking tour of Ruse the next morning, or at least to the central 'Freedom square' where I took a photo of the 'Monument of Liberty' (@ 1907-09, sculptor Arnoldo Zocchi), a statue of a woman in a toga standing on a square column above a plinth, holding a sword in one hand and pointing with the other, with 2 lions at the base. It commemorates the liberation of Bulgaria by the Russians from the Turks in the 1870s. One of the lions tears the chains of a yoke with its teeth. It was inaugurated on Aug. 11, the anniversary of the most decisive date of the 'Battle of Shipka'. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monument_of_Liberty,_Ruse#/media/Fi...

- I think I recall, but took no photos (?) of, the modernist 'Pantheon of National Heros' under a gold dome with the remains of 453 activists from the time of 'the Bulgarian National Revival' within. (Or maybe I saw a photo of it later? It's a miss if so, a very interesting piece of modern architecture.)

 

- Ruse is the most significant Bulgarian port on the Danube and is the 5th largest city in Bulgaria. In the late 19th cent. and until WWI it was the 2nd largest (after Plovdiv). It's "known for its 19th and 20th cent. neo-baroque and neo-rococo architecture". The city's a bigger deal than I realized when I was there. "A Thracian settlement developed into a Roman military and naval centre in the reign of Vespasian (69–70 CE), as part of the fortification system along the northern boundary of Moesia. It was named Sexaginta Prista, 'City of 60 Ships' (Greek: Pristis - a special type of defensive ship. It's presumed that the port had 60 berths.) The fortress was on the main route between Singidunum (Belgrade) and the Danube Delta. It was rebuilt as a praesidium following its destruction by Goths in 250 CE, but was destroyed again in the 6th cent. by Avar and Slavic raiders. The Ottomans revitalized the town which became a large fortress and administrative centre of Tuna Vilayet, extending from Varna and Tulcea to Sofia and Niš, by the 18th cent. And Ruse developed into a centre of the Bulgarian National Revival, hosting the headquarters of the Bulgarian Revolutionary Central Committee. (all Wikipedia) The city's greatest transformation came with an international agreement concerning free merchant shipping on the Danube, which led to its emergence as an important economic force, and as a trading centre for the Austro-Hungarian, Russian, and British empires. Ruse was the scene of many firsts for Bulgaria, such as the first newspaper printed in Bulgaria and in Bulgarian, the first printing office, railway line (Ruse to Varna), weather station, film projection, etc. It's fair to say it's an important city to the modern history of Bulgaria.

- I missed a history museum, the low-lying ruins (the foundations of walls) of an historic Roman fortress, and the 'Transport museum' in the original British-built railway station (1866), with late 19th cent. carriages and locomotives from the days when Ruse was a stop on the Orient Express which then ran from Budapest to Bucharest to Giurgiu, passengers would cross the river, and then from Ruse to Varna, and by boat to Stamboul. One item is "the sumptuous Sultaniye carriage, used by Empress Eugenie of France in 1869 en route to open the Suez canal." (RG)

 

- From Ruse I hitched south @ 25 km.s down the 501 and walked to the 'rock-hewn churches of Ivanovo'. (See the description for the next photo, taken at Madara).

Implement collection finally made into a gate. My mothers day gift.

Hog Oiler

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

U.S. Patent 1,241,023

 

A hog oiler was a mechanical device employed on farms to be used by hogs to provide relief from insects and offer skin protection. It consisted of a reservoir to hold oil, and a means to distribute the oil onto the hog, often via grooved wheels or cylinders. Hogs seeking relief would rub up against a wheel (or cylinder) causing it to rotate and dispense oil onto their bodies.

 

History

 

In the late 1800s and early 1900s hog lice and hog cholera could prove devastating to livestock producers and the hog oiler was seen as one way to combat the problem. The first known patent for a hog oiler device was issued in 1902 by the U.S. Patent Office, however the era of innovation for this device was mainly the years 1913-1923.

 

According to Goodbye Mr. Louse, a book by Robert Rauhauser, there may have many as 157 different patented models of hog oilers, but collector’s today estimate there could have been as many as 600 manufacturers, most going unpatented.

 

Prices for hog oilers would range anywhere from four dollars for a small model to twelve dollars and even higher for larger ones with more features. The same companies that manufactured the oilers would often sell special medicated oil to be used with the device, offering further protection. Many farmers however simply chose to use recycled oil or made their own cheaper versions.

 

The U.S. government, while being willing to issue patents, suggested that the oilers might be less than effective, according to collector Bob Coates in Farm Collector magazine. "They (the government) recommended mopping or dipping (the hogs) instead" said Coats.

 

Companies throughout the mid-western U.S., such as Lisle Manufacturing of Clarinda, Iowa, offered farmers and hog producers a variety of styles and sizes including fence-mounted, stand-alone, walk-through and ratchet-governed. However the most common were double-wheel models known as Colubians and Sipes.

 

Often made of cast iron, the early hog oilers could be quite heavy, with some models weighing as much as 150 pounds. Later models from the 1920s onward would mostly be constructed of cheaper, lighter steel and sheet metal. Other known manufacturers of hog oilers included the National Oiler Company of Richmond, Indiana, Rowe Manufacturing, Galesburg, Illinois, and Starbuck Manufacturing, Illinois Implement Company, and O.H.C.Manufacturing, all of Peoria, Illinois.

 

Collectibles

 

World War II led to a small but growing collectors market for hog oilers today. The cast iron models are considered the most desirable antiques since many originals were gathered up in war scrap iron drives and destroyed.

 

Hog oiler collectors come from all locations and ages, some as young as 11 years old.[6] Generally the "hog belt" of the upper mid-west provides the majority of hog oiler finds today—states such as Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska and parts of Kansas and Missouri.

 

Prices paid by collectors can vary widely, based on size, functions, and condition of the machine.

Smaller hog oilers can be purchased for sometimes thirty dollars or less, while the rarest models can have asking prices in the many thousands of dollars.

 

A small cast iron "wheel" type hog oiler that appeared nearly unused was featured on the History Channel program Pawn Stars on August 8, 2011. It sold for $100.

 

Agahi to implement the Nokia-UNESCO Mobile Learning initiative to deliver quality education to teachers

 

Nokia Pakistan and UNESCO collaborate to launch Mobile Learning for Teacher’s in Pakistan using Nokia Education Delivery App to facilitate teacher training via mobile phones

 

Nokia Pakistan and UNESCO Islamabad launched the project “Mobile Learning Project for Teacher’s Professional Development” today as formal collaboration in the presence of senior government officials, Nokia representatives and UNESCO representatives. As part of this program, UNESCO and Nokia are joining hands, where Nokia is providing its mobile phones and its application “Nokia Education Delivery (NED) for UNESCO’s project on ‘use of ICT for professional development of public school teachers’ in remote areas.

 

Since 2011 NED has turned into an open source solution to improve livelihoods, and in order to support such mobile learning innovations to be filled with life in Pakistan, The project will be implemented by AGAHI, a UNESCO partner and a non-profit foundation working in the area of communication and media policy design.

 

Nokia developed NED to allow using a mobile phone to access and download videos and other educational materials from a constantly updated education library. Operating in hundreds of schools and having reached millions of students in the Philippines, Tanzania, Chile and Colombia, Nokia Education Delivery has been shown to improve study results and increase retention among students.

 

This collaboration is part of the agreement signed last year between UNESCO and Nokia at international level to promote the use of mobile technologies to further the objectives of “Education for All”. As part of this agreement Nokia is developing applications and new Mobile technologies offering access to information and enrich learning environments at global level.

In Pakistan, through the project “Mobile Learning for Teachers” Nokia’s Education Delivery application will help UNESCO to enable the delivery of high- quality educational materials to teachers who lack training and resources though mobile phones giving an opportunity to teachers to train themselves on the same level as professionally competent teachers.

 

Speaking about the project, UNESCO Director, Kozue Kai Nagata said, “In 21st century Public- private partnerships are enjoying growing attention and support as a new and sustainable modality for development. We are confident to collaborate with Nokia to provide us with the best platform to train public school teachers. Nokia Education Delivery is fit to match our need of delivering quality training to a large number of public school teachers across Pakistan through the project named “Mobile Learning for Teachers”

 

Amir Jahangir, President AGAHI and a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum, shared his views on the launch that “Pakistan is a knowledge starved country, where universal education has its own challenges. To meet the target of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) on education, Pakistan needs to address its education challenges through innovation and technology which can reach to a larger population with cost effective solutions”.

 

Speaking about the launch of NED program, Ulrike Vott Nokia Sustainability Manager for Middle East said, “Nokia Education Delivery facilitates education in a fun and interactive way. In addition to the NED software, Nokia offers program implementation support for the benefit of Pakistan’s education landscape.” The Nokia Education Delivery software system has two modules. The first module is installed on a Nokia mobile phone and contains a browse able catalog of educational videos. The second module is installed on the computer of the education administrator. It manages the organization’s mobile video library, so that videos can be added, deleted and updated. It also provides information on the usage of different videos.”

 

This unique pilot project for Pakistan has been initiated by UNESCO and AGAHI aims at using Mobile phones as medium for training teachers, where the teachers in remote areas will be equipped with devices, SIMs, a software solution and high quality educational content. The course for training and capacity building will be developed into video files and will be transmitted step by step according to curriculum on the phones provided to teachers. Over the course of the training period, teachers will be tested via SMS on regular basis and as an incentive, those who will score highest in tests will receive free mobile top ups. At the end of the course, test scores of all teachers will be aggregated and the passing teachers will be awarded certificate in the final workshop.

 

AGAHI is UNESCO implementing partner in Pakistan. A not for profit, AGAHI specializes in creating communication, information and media policy design tools, that enables the stakeholders to engage in information collaboration on knowledge-based platforms. AGAHI works in building the capacity of knowledge workers in creating content based on best practices to disseminate information in building a more integrated knowledge ecosystem.

Social service, innovation/ inventions, writing, free technology to students for preparation of science exhibition projects, free technology to common men for their sustainability, preparation of big natural bonsai, technology for entrepreneurs and industrialists for innovative item are few works of Mihir Kumar Panda after his Government service.

 

. To overcome the difficulties of science and math, explanation in classes, innovator Panda has created few thousands of educational, societal and scientific innovations which helps teachers and students of the country and abroad.

 

Dr. Panda believes that though inventions/innovation has reached under thousands and thousands deep in the sea and high up in the space. It has reached on moon and mars, but unfortunately the sustainable inventions/innovation has not properly gone to the tiny tots and common people.

 

Dr. Panda is amazing and wizard of innovations and works with a principle the real scientist is he, who sees the things simply and works high.

 

Dr.Mihir Kumar Panda's work can be explained in short

ECHO's implementing partner organisations such as Médicos del Mundo (MdM) carry out humanitarian programmes to provide primary healthcare to communities affected by the violence. "In our programmes, partly funded by European Commission funds, we often operate where the authorities do not have access due to the presence of armed groups and we are the only humanitarian institution there", explains Mauricio Rojas, from MdM. Children such as the one in the picture being checked by an MdM doctor, benefit from these projects made possible thanks to European solidarity.

Les organismes partenaires d'ECHO sur le terrain, tels que Médecins du Monde (MDM), mènent des programmes humanitaires visant à fournir des soins de santé primaires aux populations touchées par les combats. «Dans le cadre de nos programmes, financés en partie par la Commission européenne, nous intervenons souvent dans des zones auxquelles les autorités n'ont pas accès, en raison de la présence de groupes armés. Nous y sommes la seule institution humanitaire», explique Mauricio Rojas, membre de Médecins du Monde. Les enfants bénéficient de ces projets rendus possibles grâce à la solidarité européenne, comme cet enfant ausculté par un médecin de l'association.

A pencil is a writing implement or art medium usually constructed of a narrow, solid pigment core inside a protective casing. The case prevents the core from breaking, and also from marking the user’s hand during use.

 

Pencils create marks via physical abrasion, leaving behind a trail of solid core material that adheres to a sheet of paper or other surface. They are noticeably distinct from pens, which dispense liquid or gel ink that stain the light color of the paper.

 

Most pencil cores are made of graphite mixed with a clay binder, leaving grey or black marks that can be easily erased. Graphite pencils are used for both writing and drawing, and the result is durable: although writing can usually be removed with an eraser, it is resistant to moisture, most chemicals, ultraviolet radiation and natural aging.

 

Other types of pencil core are less widely used. Charcoal pencils are mainly used by artists for drawing and sketching. Colored pencils are sometimes used by teachers or editors to correct submitted texts but are more usually regarded as art supplies, especially those with waxy core binders that tend to smear on paper instead of erasing. Grease pencils have a softer crayon-like waxy core that can leave marks on smooth surfaces such as glass or porcelain.

 

The most common type of pencil casing is a thin wooden cylinder permanently bonded around the core. Similar permanent casings may be constructed of other materials such as plastic or paper. In order to use the pencil, the casing must be carved or peeled off to expose the working end of the core as a sharp point. Mechanical pencils have more elaborate casings that support mobile pieces of pigment core, which can be extended or retracted through the casing tip as needed.

Aerial view of treated and untreated brush management areas on Sauerbier Ranches LLC, where producer Dan Doornbos (vest) and son-in-law ranch operator Ryan Ellis, were able to implement brush management practices and install a solar-powered (photovoltaic) electric well pump and distribution system with the help of U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources and Conservation Service (NRCS) John Wagoner (cowboy hat), at Sweetwater Basin, in southwest Montana, on August 27, 2019. Brush management practice has opened the rangeland for cattle to better graze and improve the land. On other parts of the ranches, well pumps draw water from the aquifer below a creek. The pump pushes water through pipelines, up to rangelands more than two miles away to draw cattle to a variety of grazing areas. This improves the water quality by drawing the cattle from the nearby flowing creek; provides more water from a more stable underground water resource; allows the land to rest from the presence of the cattle; allows the manure to return to the soil so that the plants can better grow back, and provides drinking water for the cattle in remote rangelands.

 

Brush Management is the management or removal of woody (non-herbaceous or succulent) plants including those that are invasive and noxious. This creates the desired plant community consistent with the ecological site or a desired state within the site description; restores or release desired vegetative cover to protect soils, control erosion, reduce sediment, improve water quality, or enhance hydrology.• Maintain, modify, or enhance fish and wildlife habitat; improves forage accessibility, quality, and quantity for livestock and wildlife; Manages fuel loads to achieve desired conditions; controls pervasive plant species to a desired level of treatment that will ultimately contribute to creation or maintenance of an ecological site description “steady-state” addressing the need for forage, wildlife habitat, and/or water quality.

 

Pumping Plant is a facility that delivers water at a designed pressure and flow rate. Includes the required pump(s), associated power unit(s), plumbing, appurtenances, and may include on-site fuel or energy source(s), and protective structures.

Closeup detail of the Oklahoma SIF Implementations. Have I said how much I love Oklahoma? Let me say it again: I love Oklahoma.

The All Noida School Parents Association (ANSPA) on Friday wrote a letter to the additional chief secretary of Uttar Pradesh, Sanjay Aggarwal, over the delay in implementation of Fee Regulatory Bill 2018-19.

 

In April this year, the Yogi government approved an ordinance to regulate school fees charged by private schools (Fee Regulatory Bill), including minority institutions, affiliated to CBSE, ICSE and the UP Board of Secondary Education.

 

Yatendra Kasana, president of ANSPA told City Spidey that despite the start of the new session, Apeejay School, DPS, and several other schools have still not implemented the regulations.

 

K Arunachalam, general secretary of ANSPA said, “We had talks with Sanjay Aggarwal on the matter during his Noida visit. In July, he wrote a letter to the education department of the UP to speed up implementation but still, the scenario has not changed.”

 

The letter read: “The school management will have to upload the details of the fee structure on their website from the 2015-16 to 2018-19. The parents should be able to get information about the school fee structure online from home. These details are to be uploaded on the website by all schools by July 15. But, schools are not showing any interest in it.”

 

Kasana also said that the private schools in Noida like Bal Bharti School and Apeejay School started a new tradition to lodge a complaint against the parents over the protest against the fee hike. “A few days back, the management of Apeejay School lodged the complaint against the 10 parents of the school but still FIR has not been lodged by police,” Kasana added.

 

Arunachalam said, “Bal Bharti School charges Rs 1,000 for making the identity card. Previously, the school charge was Rs 100 only. But, from August 1, they hiked the charge by 10 times through a circular.”

 

“If a student wants any correction in the identity card like the correction in name and address then they charge Rs 200 for it. Now, the schools have becomes a business instead of a knowledge sharing platform,” he added.

 

“We are paying hefty amounts to schools. But, few incidents reveal the truth of the security of the students in the school. We have an example of Step By Step school incident where around 190 students and school staffs fell ill after having lunch within the premises of Step by Step school,” said Arunachalam.

 

“Last month, there was no outcome after the heinous rape of a three-and-half-year-old girl. The government and district officer are silent on this matter. It shows the inability of the government to take action against the private schools,” Arunachalam added.

 

"If the government will not help the parents in implementing this ordinance then parents association will protest on the road with a large number of parents," ANSPA members said.

 

Members of ANSPA said that if the ordinance will not be implemented by the schools then they will not take part in the 2019 elections and also oppose the elections.

 

In April this year, the UP cabinet decided that the process of charging school fees will be transparent and any school will be able to charge fees only through four means. These will include prospectus fees, admission fees, examination fees and joint annual fees.

 

Private schools’ arbitrariness will be curbed

 

The optional fee, bus fee, excursion fees and charges for educational camps can only be taken from students if they participate in such activities. Further, schools will have to provide a receipt for all sorts of fees. Even the schools functioning under the CBSE and ICSE board will have to follow these rules.

 

During a press conference earlier, it was declared that the decisions undertaken by the cabinet regarding school fees will be applicable in the year 2018-19.

 

School fees can be paid in four instalments within a year

 

The government had also declared that students need not pay the whole school fees together. The annual fees can be paid on a half-yearly or quarterly basis also. Further, once these rules are implemented, schools will not be able to force parents to buy copies or bags from any one shop. Even the school dress cannot be changed before the completion of five years.

 

Teachers’ salaries set to increase

 

The cabinet also decided that the school teachers’ salary should increase in proportion to the school fee hike. Further, it declared that the hike shouldn’t be more than 5-7 per cent in any aspect. Business activities, such as the functioning of guest houses, shops, etc. will also be controlled if they are being run inside schools.

 

It is also important to provide information regarding the school’s earnings and utilise it for the school’s development to reduce students’ fees and to provide teachers' salaries. The income will have to be shown in the school’s account.

 

Violation of norms may lead to cancellation of the school’s accreditation

 

The Deputy CM of Uttar Pradesh had announced in the press conference that the state government will set up fee regulation committees at the commissioner level in all zones across the state.

 

If any school violates the norms of fee regulations, it will be punished with Rs 1 lakh for the first time and Rs 5 lakh for the second violation. If a school continues to violate the rules, its accreditation will be cancelled.

Ministerio de la Producción evalúa implementar un CITE Forestal y Agropecuario en la región Cajamarca

El ITP realizó durante dos meses un levantamiento de información y halló que existe una masa crítica de mypes y productores forestales y agropecuarios con una demanda potencial significativa, que necesita ser potenciada a través de servicios tecnológicos.

Este CITE será útil para darle valor agregado a los productos más representativos de la región, en particular aquellos de la cadena láctea.

 

La ministra de la Producción, Rocío Barrios, se reunió esta mañana con el Gobernador Regional, Mesías Guevara, para dialogar sobre temas relacionados al desarrollo productivo de Cajamarca.

 

En la reunión, Barrios informó que el Instituto Tecnológico de la Producción (ITP) realizó durante dos meses un levantamiento de información en la región y halló que existe una masa crítica de mypes y productores que necesita capacitación y asistencia técnica para potenciarlas y acompañarlas en su ingreso al mercado.

 

“Queremos materializar un plan de trabajo que permita acompañar a Cajamarca en su desarrollo productivo. Es una región muy rica y con potencial, el desafío es intervenir como Estado para darle valor agregado a sus mejores productos, con la intención que puedan generar empleo y se conviertan en un motor de crecimiento”, destacó.

 

CITE Forestal y Agroindustrial

La titular de PRODUCE sostuvo que se va evaluar la puesta en marcha de un CITE Forestal y Agroindustrial en la región, que en principio funcione como una Unidad Técnica (UT).

 

Indicó que en las próximas semanas debería iniciarse la intervención a través de la Red de CITE existente, así como el establecimiento de plazos para la posterior implementación del nuevo CITE, con el apoyo del Gobierno Regional de Cajamarca.

 

“Solicitamos al GORE que nos permitan un lugar habilitado para el local del CITE y su compromiso de apoyar este proyecto”; añadió.

 

Asimismo, precisó que desde el próximo mes el ITP podría realizar talleres y capacitaciones en la región a través de CITE Cedepas Norte y CITE madera, así como la posibilidad de que mypes cajamarquinas realicen pasantías.

 

Actividades protocolares

Durante su visita a Cajamarca, la ministra Rocío Barrios participó en la feria Fongal, que promueve la participación de productores de café y cacao con el objetivo de conquistar nuevos mercados a nivel nacional e internacional.

 

La tradicional feria agropecuaria, agroindustrial, artesanal y turística de Cajamarca, se realiza del 23 al 30 de julio con la intención de mostrar a la población local y a los turistas nacionales y extranjeros, a los mejores expositores y productores de esta región.

 

De igual manera, estuvo presente en el lanzamiento de la estrategia Cero Papel, a la cual destacó. “En solo seis meses este GORE está dando un salto digital muy importante y los felicito. La transformación digital permite que estemos comunicados y que los ciudadanos accedan a los servicios desde la comodidad de sus hogares”, finalizó.

Este santuário está

implementado numa vasta

área consagrada ao culto

Mariano e constitui um pólo

de dinamização de

numerosas actividades de

espiritualidade, recolhimento

e apoio social. Na sua

génese, está a resposta das

populações do nordeste

transmontano à mensagem

de Fátima, através de uma

acção liderada por um

sacerdote natural da região: o

P. Manuel Joaquim Ochôa.

Começou a ser edificado em

1961. Para a sua construção

foi necessária a colaboração

de todo o povo de Cerejais,

homens e mulheres; eles com

quatrocentos carros de bois

de pedra e elas com o transporte de toda a água necessária à construção,

muita da qual foi transportada em cântaros, à cabeça.

Além da capela principal, fazem parte do conjunto do santuário:

l O Calvário (fig.1.1) com uma capelinha onde se encontra um conjunto

escultórico, em tamanho natural, que representa o encontro da Mãe

Dolorosa com o seu Divino Filho.

l Uma Via-sacra que percorre o caminho entre a Capela e o Calvário e

cujas cruzes foram esculpidas em granito da aldeia de Romeu.

Dois anos mais tarde, em 28 de Maio de 1967, celebrou-se a “festa dos

Bispos” como ficou conhecida a inauguração dos quinze Mistérios do

Rosário, que estão representados por outras tantas figuras esculpidas que

se distribuem à beira do caminho entre a capela e a Loca do Cabeço. Com

efeito, nas cerimónias desta inauguração, estiveram presentes os bispos

de Bragança-Miranda, Leiria, Lamego e Dili.

Em 1976 foi edificado o primeiro pavilhão da Casa dos Pastorinhos e foi

ampliada a torre sineira.

1977 foi o ano da comemoração do 60º aniversário das aparições em

Fátima e o Santuário dos Cerejais foi o ponto central das comemorações

na diocese de Bragança-Miranda.

seu desejo ao rei que logo pensou juntar o útil ao agradável: fez a vontade

à esposa e aproveitou o pretexto para construir uma fortificação militar nas

proximidades, dado que se tratava de um local estratégico para a

segurança do reino.

A administração da capela e dos seus folgados proventos determinados

por D. Dinis foi entregue aos frades beneditinos do mosteiro do Castro da

Avelãs, que se localiza a cerca de 30 km de distância, próximo a Bragança.

No reinado de D. João III, foi construída a catedral de Miranda, que passou

a ser a sede da diocese para quem passou a administração do santuário.

Durante todos estes anos, as actividades de culto foram promovidas pela

confraria que contava sempre com um mordomo castelhano, o que

confirma a grande influência que o santuário exerce do outro lado da

fronteira. Do lado espanhol o Santuário é designado por “La Ribeiriña”.

Apesar da grande quantidade de romeiros e da celebração anual das

grandes romarias, o templo chegou ao final do século XIX num estado de

apreciável degradação. Providencialmente surgiu um benemérito, próspero

emigrante no Brasil, natural de Castrelos, de seu nome António do Carmo

Pires.
