Stavkyrkje / Stave church, Kaupanger (Norway)
© All rights reserved
************************************************************************************************************
Kaupanger Stave Church is the largest stave church in the Sogn region. The nave is supported by 22 staves, 8 on each of the longer sides and 3 on each of the shorter. The elevated chancel is carried by 4 free standing staves. The church has the largest number of staves to be found in any one stave church.
The medieval construction of the church is still intact, apart from the roof truss above the nave, and it is considered to be one of the best preserved of our stave churches.
The church has been restored several times, most recently in the 1960s, when the exterior was restored to its 17th century appearance. Excavations beneath the floor of the church have revealed signs of two previous post churches. These have been dated to the latter half of the 11th century and the early 12th century. The second post church was found as an ash layer. Under this layer from the fire of the second church, a coin minted in 1130 was found. This date gives us a limit for the earliest possible building date of the present church.
The name Kaupanger indicates that from the earliest times there has been a kaupang, or trading place, here (it is the same as the word chipping in English place names, incidentally). Historical sources tell us little about the place, which we find first mentioned in Sverre's Saga in connection with a farmers' revolt in 1183-84. King Sverre ordered Kaupanger to be burned following the murder of his governor, Ivar Dape, the previous winter.
Earlier researchers have tended to see the burning of the previous church in connection with King Sverre's punitive expedition to Sogndal in 1184. Erla B. Hohler (1999) points out that the coin only indicates that the church burned sometime after 1130 and that written sources say nothing about the fire actually being in 1184. Hohler sees many similarities between the doorways of Kaupanger and Hopperstad (c.1140) and concludes that the doorways of Kaupanger must have been made simultaneously with or shortly after those of Hopperstad. This dating is supported by a dendrochronological test of the south doorway, which shows that the timber was felled in 1137.
The pulpit, altarpiece and font are all from the 17th century.
Kaupanger Stave Church is still the church of the parish and has been in regular use as Kaupanger's parish church since it was built. Relics of the past and the imprint of the present day combine to bring the church alive and to bring us the history of the church and the people who have worshipped here down the ages.

Community health worker Eunice Nalokita, 23, conducts a mother-to-mother support group in her village of Manyatta Zebra in central Kenya. Eunice, together with her fellow community health worker, Christine, founded the group with the support of our partner ADSMKE.
Eunice and Christine teach women about hygiene and sanitation, nutrition, how to breastfeed and about the importance of going to antenatal check-ups and delivering in hospital.
In the three years since the group was set up the health of women and children in the village has been transformed. For example, there are very few cases of diarrhoea now as women know how to treat water and have much better levels of hygiene in the home.
As part of the mother support group the women in the village were given chicks to rear and were shown how to grow their own vegetables. They use the money they get from selling their excess crops to buy more seeds.

Verdi 15 Occupata. Un'esperienza di vita, un progetto di lotta.
All’Università di Torino, lo scorso anno (anno accademico 2011-12) studenti esterni alla Regione e meritevoli hanno vinto, con regolare domanda e graduatoria, posti-letto e borse di studio gestite, come da decenni ormai, dall’EDISU, l’ente regionale del Piemonte per il diritto allo studio. Peccato che questi posti, queste borse di studio, non si siano mai concretizzati: l’EDISU, in grave crisi economica per i terribili tagli voluti dalla Regione Piemonte, ha tagliato quei posti e non ha concesso quelle borse. E gli studenti, in mezzo a una strada, si sono mobilitati. In Via Verdi 15, a Torino, c’è stata fino all’anno scorso una residenza universitaria da 200 posti letto per studenti fuori sede, e doveva chiudere. Gli studenti hanno iniziato una bella esperienza di autogestione, trasformandola in “Verdi 15 occupata” e sostituendosi alle istituzioni che volevano chiuderla e renderla un fantasma.

This artistic provocation seeks to estimate the orders of magnitude of critical ecosystem services fundamental to all planetary life processes. It is common to use economic metaphors, which entail specific understandings of value, to describe our relationships with society, the world, and the biosphere. Today’s prevailing economic conventions are unable to recognize the intrinsic value of the ecosystems on which all life depends. In cultures overdetermined by concepts from economics, we are left without adequate discursive instruments to socially or politically address the importance of ecosystem contribution to life on Earth. This experiment consists of 1 square meter of wheat, cultivated in a closed environment. Critical inputs such as water, light, heat, and nutrients are measured, monitored, and displayed for the public. This procedure makes palpable the immense scale of ecosystem contributions and provides a speculative reference for a reckoning of the undervalued and over exploited “work of the biosphere.”

FORT BRAGG, N.C. --- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District completed this $11 million Training Support Center in April 2011, which serves as a central location for all Army training aids, products and devices on Fort Bragg. Additionally, the 118,700 square-foot facility includes 12 training rooms where Soldiers use advanced video gaming technology for virtual weapons training. The sophisticated technology mimics real world battlefield scenarios and provides Soldiers with useful feedback for improving their accuracy and precision in weapons firing. With construction performed by North Carolina-based prime contractor Osborne Company, this project is the first warehouse facility of its type in the Army. It will serve as a prototype for similar facilities at other major Army installations worldwide. USACE photo by Tracy Robillard.

The Aga Khan School, Osh is located in the Kyrgyz Republic and was established in September 2002.
Construction of this purpose-built facility began in 2000, in the year that commemorated Osh City's 3000th year anniversary.
On October 30, 2002, the Governor of Osh Oblast, Naken Kasiev, inaugurated the School in the presence of His Highness the Aga Khan.
Aga Khan Education Services (AKES) has a long tradition of leadership in educational development. The foundations of the present system were laid by Sir Sultan Mahomed Shah, Aga Khan III, under whose guidance over 200 schools were established during the first half of the 20th century, the first of them in 1905 in Zanzibar, Gwadar in Pakistan and Mundra in India. Since the creation of Aga Khan Education Service companies in the 1970s, the schools have been centrally administered and managed.
AKES currently operates more than 200 schools and several educational programmes that provide quality pre-school, primary, secondary and higher secondary education services to more than 75,000 students in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, United Arab Emirates and Madagascar. Schools will also be developed in Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Aga Khan school in Osh, part of the Aga Khan Education Service (AKES), currently provides over 500 students with quality learning experiences in an environment which values diversity and responds creatively to the educational needs of children.
Since the first graduating class in 2007, all graduates have advanced to further education at local and international universities. This is a significant achievement of the Aga Khan School, Osh.
Since 2008, German as a second language has been integrated into the curriculum through the partnership between AKES, Kyrgyz Republic and the German Embassy in Bishkek. The German Embassy offered to provide German language subject teachers, professional development training and support for the preparation of students to pass DSD exams. The partnership with the German Embassy has given opportunities for our graduates to be admitted to German Universities and colleges, as well as employment following the completion of their undergraduate degrees in Germany.
From 2010 to 2014, AKS also organized the French Language & Culture Club as an afterschool enrichment activity with the support of the French Embassy. Trainers from the Osh State University were invited to facilitate the French language club for our students, which was quite popular. Since, 2012, the Aga Khan School, Osh has introduced an initiative to nurture a love of science, scientific research and its application among young people.
Picture taken the day that the Chavez followers announced that they were going to take over and invade our university, this give you an idea of the number of students worried and looking to take some kind of action to defend what is ours.
In the front we see the students leaders with a full auditory of students in the back.
