BCD June 2020 Show & Tell Theme MY COUNTRY
I have assembled this image before, three years ago at the BCD 2017 House Party, with the help of many friends. Now I was on my own, and instead of a Victory Gold Box I had a Gold Box Super Cut. Have my jigsawing skills improved it that time? (I've certainly been through a tough training programme, courtesy of a Genest Le Colimacon mystery puzzle!)
I started off laying pieces out, and my brain must have been in neutral because I separated out straight edges - and Super Cuts have a wavy edge! I soon realised my faux pas and started on the sky. After completing the sky and the top of the buildings I decided that I would build the canopy and dais (distinctive patterns) and large colour areas (sets of clothing). Soon some of these groups started coming together. That left the rug and flooring and finally the most difficult areas, the buildings. I knew when I started that there were three pieces missing - at least nine pieces hid in plain sight and I was convinced throughout most of the build that there were more than that missing. Until very late on, I thought that I had three pieces from another jigsaw, but eventually two pieces (whose holes were hiding under trays) were placed and I was left with just one oddment.
Victory Gold Box Super Cut 1000pc Envoy to the Mogul is one of a series of large Victory Gold Box and Gold Box Super Cuts. My jigsaw is clearly from a period when Victory were still cutting shapely whimsies, and this jigsaw also includes a great deal of line cutting. The print, however, is not as sharp as I would have hoped- or perhaps there is a slight misalignment in one of the printing passes.
This painting is 'Sir Thomas Roe at the court of Ajmir, 1614' by William Rothenstein, one of eight monumental canvases commissioned in 1927 to fill the vacant spaces in St Stephen’s Hall, Palace of Westminster. These represent the governing and artistic classes view of key moments in the history of OUR COUNTRY.
Sir Thomas Roe, envoy from King James I of England to the Mogul Emperor, succeeded by his courtesy and firmness at the Court of Ajmir in laying the foundation of British influence in India. The East India Company had recently established England’s first presence in India with a factory at Surat. Roe’s main task was to establish diplomatic relations with the Mughal Empire, seek Jahangir’s support for the Surat venture and negotiate a treaty enabling further trade. By the end of his period as ambassador in 1618, Roe had secured English commercial access to Jahangir’s dominions, though a formal treaty was never signed.
The St Stephen's Hall Decor Scheme and Murals
An initial suggestion for the panels in St Stephen's Hall was made by Sir Charles Barry in 1843 for 'Great domestic events in British history'. The scheme never went ahead despite Daniel Maclise being commissioned in 1857. The area was lined with marble statues of statesmen on either side of the hall in the 1850's. It was not until 1909 that work finally started on the mural scheme through sponsorship from the Royal Academy, but by 1924 only two more paintings had been added. Speaker Whitley intervened and an informal committee pushed ahead with commissioning 'The Building of Britain' scheme (subjects chosen from the eight centuries from King Alfred to Queen Anne).
Eight paintings were commissioned from the artists Monnington, Rothenstein, Lawrence, Forbes, Gill, Philpot, Sims and Clausen. Historical advice was supplied by Sir Henry Newbolt, and the artists being supervised by Sir David Young Cameron. The subjects included the importance of naval defence, and of transporting expeditions overseas, nobles who protested against oppression; the long struggle for religious freedom; the daring adventure to find the New World in the Elizabethan age; the start of English influence in India; and the union of Scotland and England in 1707. The bold colours and simplicity of line were intended as part of a new direction in mural painting which strove to break with the traditions of the past. They received critical acclaim, being considered well suited for public art.
The Civil Society Programme took place on Wednesday 11 May and Thursday 12 May and provided an opportunity for dialogue between civil society and EBRD staff, senior management, the President and Board Directors. It was an occasion for civil society stakeholders to learn more about the Bank and discuss issues of interest and concern regarding the EBRD’s policies and investment projects.
The Programme also featured multi-stakeholder roundtable sessions on key strategic themes related to the role of civil society as an important actor in transition and development processes. Special features of the Civil Society Programme 2016 were discussions on:
•25 years of Transition - The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
•Engaging civil society to promote transparent procurement
•EBRD’s Strategy for the Promotion of Gender Equality (2016-2020): the role of civil society
•Inclusion through skills and innovatiom
In addition, a panel organised by the youth organisation AIESEC looked at the role of youth in shaping the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
25 years of Transition: The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
A fire-side chat with Sergei Guriev, Professor of Economics, Sciences Po (incoming EBRD Chief Economist)
Civil society, operating in the space between public and private sectors, has played an important role in socio-political and economic transition processes around the world, including the EBRD’s traditional countries of operations. In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil society’s contribution to transition has varied across the post-communist transition region. In some countries, the work of civil society organisations (CSOs) has contributed to more democratic political systems and more open market based economies as a ‘reputational actor’ performing a ‘watchdog’ function and as a generator of ‘social capital’ necessary to sustain the change process through the difficult early years. In other countries, the focus of CSOs has been on providing a variety of social services particularly to disadvantaged and vulnerable people negatively affected by the transition process. Many civil society actors have been operating in restrictive regulatory environments, and have relied heavily on international donor funding.
What has been civil society’s input into promoting good governance, sustainable development and economic inclusion in EBRD’s traditional region over the past few decades? What are the key lessons learned, from both its successes and failures that can be applied to other countries embarking on a transition process? What steps could be taken to increase the role of civil society in promoting positive changes in societies and economies?
The discussion looked back at the key achievements and setbacks of the civil society sector in contributing to transition since the Bank’s establishment. It also reflected upon the challenges ahead for civil society in building well-governed, sustainable and inclusive economies and societies.

ROMA ARCHEOLOGIA e RESTUARO ARCHITETTURA: Dott.ssa Laura Nicotra, "The Figurative Programme of the Architraval Friezes in the Forum of Trajan, Rome' Thesis., University of Leicester, U.K. (06/2015) [pdf], 1-444.
Abstract - In Rome's Forum of Trajan fragments from architraval friezes with figurative motifs of seven different types have been discovered over the centuries: eagle-headed griffins and candelabra; eagle-headed griffins and tripods; eagle-headed griffins and cupids; lionheaded griffins, cupids and vases; cupids in acanthus; Victories killing bulls and dressing candelabra; sphinxes. The aim of this research is to investigate if there is a connection between these decorative motifs and the architectural structures where they were exhibited, and if their iconographic choice depends on their deeper significance in the Forum's wider context. Following an introduction to the history of the excavation of the Forum and to its different sections, for each frieze type is proposed a comprehensive analysis of all the fragments with an ascertained provenance from the Forum, which have never previously been studied together. Their location in the different buildings forming the Forum's complex, as identified through information from excavation reports, drawings and the relevant reconstruction of the architectural orders is discussed, as well as their iconography and comparison with other artworks and monuments, which attests that Trajan chose a traditional iconography already used in previous similar examples in contexts comparable to the various structures of Trajan's Forum.
Against this background, we argue that the reliefs were part of a wider figurative programme, and Trajan expressed the messages he wanted to transmit through the traditional language of his predecessors. Griffins, cupids, Victories and sphinxes are polysemous mythological figures, attributes of different divinities: their symbolism related to diverse gods depending on their various aspects can be interpreted according to the function of the buildings forming the Forum when it is known, or can help to investigate the use of these structures when it is not known.

The Civil Society Programme took place on Wednesday 11 May and Thursday 12 May and provided an opportunity for dialogue between civil society and EBRD staff, senior management, the President and Board Directors. It was an occasion for civil society stakeholders to learn more about the Bank and discuss issues of interest and concern regarding the EBRD’s policies and investment projects.
The Programme also featured multi-stakeholder roundtable sessions on key strategic themes related to the role of civil society as an important actor in transition and development processes. Special features of the Civil Society Programme 2016 were discussions on:
•25 years of Transition - The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
•Engaging civil society to promote transparent procurement
•EBRD’s Strategy for the Promotion of Gender Equality (2016-2020): the role of civil society
•Inclusion through skills and innovatiom
In addition, a panel organised by the youth organisation AIESEC looked at the role of youth in shaping the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
25 years of Transition: The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
A fire-side chat with Sergei Guriev, Professor of Economics, Sciences Po (incoming EBRD Chief Economist)
Civil society, operating in the space between public and private sectors, has played an important role in socio-political and economic transition processes around the world, including the EBRD’s traditional countries of operations. In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil society’s contribution to transition has varied across the post-communist transition region. In some countries, the work of civil society organisations (CSOs) has contributed to more democratic political systems and more open market based economies as a ‘reputational actor’ performing a ‘watchdog’ function and as a generator of ‘social capital’ necessary to sustain the change process through the difficult early years. In other countries, the focus of CSOs has been on providing a variety of social services particularly to disadvantaged and vulnerable people negatively affected by the transition process. Many civil society actors have been operating in restrictive regulatory environments, and have relied heavily on international donor funding.
What has been civil society’s input into promoting good governance, sustainable development and economic inclusion in EBRD’s traditional region over the past few decades? What are the key lessons learned, from both its successes and failures that can be applied to other countries embarking on a transition process? What steps could be taken to increase the role of civil society in promoting positive changes in societies and economies?
The discussion looked back at the key achievements and setbacks of the civil society sector in contributing to transition since the Bank’s establishment. It also reflected upon the challenges ahead for civil society in building well-governed, sustainable and inclusive economies and societies.
