Le Théâtre Antique d'Orange est le théâtre romain
le mieux conservé en occident, classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Edifié sous l'empereur Auguste au Ier siècle de notre ère. Son mur de scène (37 mètres de haut sur 103 mètres de long), est l'un des mieux conservés du monde romain, et place le monument parmi les plus grands témoignages de toute la Rome Antique. Le théâtre occupait une place centrale dans la cité et la vie de ses habitants qui y passaient une grande partie de leur temps libre. Pour le pouvoir romain, le théâtre était un moyen de diffusion de la culture latine auprès des populations colonisées mais aussi un prétexte pour les éloigner de toute préoccupation politique. Véritables divertissements, les spectacles duraient toute la journée. Les Romains, peu passionnés par les tragédies grecques dont s'inspiraient au début les auteurs latins, préféraient un répertoire plus léger : dell'Arte. Les mimes, pantomimes, récitals de poésie, et surtout l'attelane, farce assez proche de la Commedia public populaire voulait avant tout du sensationnel : la mise en scène devint donc prédominante avec le développement de la machinerie. Le théâtre, gratuit, était accessible à tous et était le seul endroit public où l'on pouvait côtoyer les femmes. En revanche, la circulation dans les couloirs et les galeries était conçue de telle sorte que les spectateurs de statut social différent ne se mélangent pas. Aujourd'hui, le Théatre Antique d'Orange est un lieu culturel où des événements tels que le théâtre, l'opéra ou des concerts sont proposés. Sa capacité d'accueil est importante avec 9000 places réservées aux spectateurs.
The Roman Theater of Orange is the Roman theater
the best preserved in the West, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built under the Emperor Augustus in the first century of our era. Its stage wall (37 meters high and 103 meters long), is one of the best preserved in the Roman world, and places the monument among the greatest testimonies of all the ancient Rome. The theater occupied a central place in the city and the life of its inhabitants, who spent a great deal of their free time there. For the Roman power, the theater was a means of spreading the Latin culture to the colonized populations but also a pretext to remove them from any political concern. True entertainment, the shows lasted all day. The Romans, unenthusiastic about the Greek tragedies that initially inspired Latin authors, preferred a lighter repertoire: dell'Arte. The mimes, pantomimes, recitals of poetry, and especially the attelane, a prank close enough to the Commedia public popular wanted above all the sensational: the staging became predominant with the development of the machinery. The theater, free, was accessible to all and was the only public place where women could be seen. On the other hand, traffic in corridors and galleries was designed in such a way that spectators of different social status did not mix. Today, the Antique Theater of Orange is a cultural venue where events such as theater, opera or concerts are offered. Its capacity is important with 9000 seats reserved for spectators.

The balustrade of the palace has been remodeled, conserving the murals by Diego Rivera that adorn the main stairwell and the walls of the second floor.
In the stairwell is a mural depicting the history of Mexico from 1521 to 1930 and covers an area of 450 m2. These murals were painted between 1929 and 1935, jointly titled "The Epic of the Mexican People". The work is divided like a triptych with each being somewhat autonomous. The right-hand wall contains murals depicting pre-Hispanic Mexico and centers around the life of the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl.
In the middle and largest panel, the Conquest is depicted with its ugliness, such as rape and torture, as well as priests defending the rights of the indigenous people. The battle for independence occupies the uppermost part of this panel in the arch. The American and French invasions are represented below this, as well as the Reform period and the Revolution.
The left-hand panel is dedicated to early and mid-20th century, criticizing the status quo and depicting a Marxist kind of utopia.
Diego also painted 11 panels on the middle floor, such as the "Tianguis of Tlatelolco" (tianguis means "market"), and the "Arrival of Hernán Cortés in Veracruz".

The Zwinger (Der Dresdner Zwinger) is a palace in Dresden, eastern Germany, built in Baroque style.
The location was formerly part of the Dresden fortress of which the outer wall is conserved. The name derives from the German word Zwinger (outer ward of a concentric castle); it was for the cannons that were placed between the outer wall and the major wall. The Zwinger was not enclosed until the neoclassical building by Gottfried Semper called the Semper wing was built to host the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister art gallery.
The name Zwinger goes back to the common medieval German term for that part of a fortification between the outer and inner defensive walls, or "outer ward". Archaeological evidence indicates that the construction of the first city wall took place in the last quarter of the 12th century. A documentary entry as civitas in 1216 points to the existence of an enclosed Dresden Fortification at that time. In 1427, during the Hussite Wars, work began on strengthening the city's defences and they were enhaned by a second - outer - wall. These improvements began near the Wildruffer Tor gate. Step by step the old moat had to be filled in and moved. The area between the two walls was generally referred to as the Zwinger and, in the vicinity of the castle, was utilised by the royal court at Dresden for garden purposes. The location of the so-called Zwingergarten from that period is only imprecisely known to be between the fortifications on the western side of the city.[1][2] Its extent varied in places as a result of subsequent improvements to the fortifications and is depicted differently on the various maps.
This royal Zwingergarten, a garden used to supply the court, still fulfilled one of its functions, as indicated by the name, as a narrow defensive area between the outer and inner defensive walls. This was no longer the case when work on the present-day Zwinger palace began in the early 18th century, nevertheless the name was transferred to the new building. Admittedly the southwestern parts of the building of the baroque Dresden Zwinger including the Kronentor gate stand on parts of the outer curtain wall that are still visible today; but there is no longer any trace of the inner wall
Augustus the Strong, elector of Saxony, returned from a grand tour through France and Italy in 1687–89, just at the moment that Louis XIV moved his court to Versailles. On his return to Dresden, having arranged his election as King of Poland (1697), he wanted something similarly spectacular for himself. The fortifications were no longer needed and provided readily available space for his plans. The original plans, as developed by his court architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann before 1711, covered the space of the present complex of palace and garden, and also included as gardens the space down to the Elbe River, upon which the Semper opera house and its square were built in the nineteenth century.
The Zwinger was designed by Pöppelmann and constructed in stages from 1710 to 1728. Sculpture was provided by Balthasar Permoser. The Zwinger was formally inaugurated in 1719, on the occasion of the electoral prince Frederick August’s marriage to the daughter of the Habsburg emperor, the Archduchess Maria Josepha. At the time, the outer shells of the buildings had already been erected and, with their pavilions and arcaded galleries, formed a striking backdrop to the event. It was not until the completion of their interiors in 1728, however, that they could serve their intended functions as exhibition galleries and library halls.
The death of Augustus in 1733 put a halt to the construction because the funds were needed elsewhere. The palace area was left open towards the Semperoper square and the river. Later the plans were changed to a smaller scale, and in 1847–1855 the area was closed by the construction of the gallery wing now separating the Zwinger from the opera place; the architect was Gottfried Semper, who designed the opera house.
The building was mostly destroyed by the carpet bombing raids of 13–15 February 1945. The art collection had been evacuated before, though. After the war, in a referendum, the people of Dresden voted to restore the building and generally preferred to rebuild the glories of the city, instead of having the ruins razed to make way for the architecture of socialist realism then prevalent in the German Democratic Republic.

Le portail est un superbe exemple de sculpture romane parfaitement conservée. Il a été réalisé entre 1110 et 1130. Le décor luxuriant, une quadruple archivolte décorée d'entrelacs et de motifs variés, entoure un tympan orné d'une scène de l'Apocalypse et rappelle la Saintonge voisine.
Si on trouve sur plusieurs tympans de portails romans une représentation de la seconde vision de l'Apocalypse que saint Jean a à Patmos, à Moissac, à Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne, à Compostelle ou Chartres, le tympan de La Lande-de-Fronsac est le seul à représenter la première vision racontée par saint Jean dans Apocalypse 1, 9-16 (traduction de la Bible de Louis Segond) :
9- Moi Jean, votre frère, et qui ai part avec vous à la tribulation et au royaume et à la persévérance en Jésus, j'étais dans l'île appelée Patmos, à cause de la parole de Dieu et du témoignage de Jésus.
10- Je fus ravi en esprit au jour du Seigneur, et j'entendis derrière moi une voix forte, comme le son d'une trompette,
11- qui disait: Ce que tu vois, écris-le dans un livre, et envoie-le aux sept Églises, à Éphèse, à Smyrne, à Pergame, à Thyatire, à Sardes, à Philadelphie, et à Laodicée.
12- Je me retournai pour connaître quelle était la voix qui me parlait. Et, après m'être retourné, je vis sept chandeliers d'or,
13- et, au milieu des sept chandeliers, quelqu'un qui ressemblait à un fils d'homme, vêtu d'une longue robe, et ayant une ceinture d'or sur la poitrine.
14- Sa tête et ses cheveux étaient blancs comme de la laine blanche, comme de la neige; ses yeux étaient comme une flamme de feu;
15- ses pieds étaient semblables à de l'airain ardent, comme s'il eût été embrasé dans une fournaise; et sa voix était comme le bruit de grandes eaux.
16- Il avait dans sa main droite sept étoiles. De sa bouche sortait une épée aiguë, à deux tranchants; et son visage était comme le soleil lorsqu'il brille dans sa force.
Le tympan relevé par Léo Drouyn en 1849.
La vision de Jean Christ avec l'épée, les sept étoiles, les lustres et les églises. Tympan de l'église de Saint-Pierre de La Lande-de-FronsacLe tympan.
Le sculpteur a traduit dans la pierre d'une manière gauche le texte de saint Jean. En bas, à gauche, la représentation des sept églises et saint Jean témoin de la vision tenant un livre. Au centre, le Fils de l'Homme vêtu d'une longue robe et ayant une ceinture d'or sur la poitrine, la main droite soutient un cercle dans lequel se trouvent les sept étoiles, au niveau de sa bouche est sculptée une épée à deux tranchants. Entre saint Jean et le Christ on voit les jambes d'un petit homme nu, son corps est prisonnier des lianes qui couvrent l'arrière-plan du tympan. Le sculpteur a gravé deux inscriptions partiellement effacées :
autour du tympan : JOHES VII ECCLIIS QUE SUNT IN [ASIA VIDI]T FILII HO[MINIS IN]TER VII CANDELABRA AUREA
et sur le mince linteau : PRINCIPIU SINE PRINCIPIO FINIS SINE FINE
sur l'étole portée par le Christ : ZONA AUREA (ceinture d'or).
Le tympan est entouré de quatre voussures dont le style est inspiré de la Saintonge voisine. En partant de l'extérieur :
la partie extérieure de la voussure extérieure est décorée avec une chaîne formée de losanges. La partie intérieure est décorée avec une série de figures humaines. À gauche, deux hommes vêtus de tuniques longues ; l'un des hommes a transpercé la tête d'un lion ou d'un monstre avec une lance, l'autre homme est dans un cartouche formé d'une tige qui se poursuit dans les autres voussoirs ; ensuite un griffon ou un aigle d'inspiration orientale emmêlé dans des lianes, suivi par les six apôtres animés d'un mouvement violent « encordés »[3] représentés d'une manière pictographique, tenant pour la plupart le Livre ou un objet entre ses mains. Au centre de la voussure, le Christ debout et bénissant, sa tête encadrée dans une mandorle, entre deux chérubins à triple paires d'ailes. En descendant vers la droite, après le chérubin, six autres apôtres, puis encore un griffon ou un aigle dans des lianes et, pour terminer, une Vierge à l'Enfant (?).La deuxième voussure commence à gauche avec deux musiciens (joueur de harpe et de vièle), suivis d'un homme qui semble tenir une fruit dans sa main. Ensuite c'est un entrelacs de lianes et d'oiseaux, qui se termine au sud avec un personnage.
La troisième voussure est partagée e deux zones concentriques. La plus extérieure est décorée par de grosses étoiles à quatre branches avec un petit homme à la clé. l'autre est décorée de deux rangs de dents de scie qui se poursuit jusqu'au sol sans interruption.
La quatrième voussure commence avec un personnage au nord suivi d'un entrelacs.

Tapering
to a point, conserving everything,
this carrot is predestined to be thick.
The world is
but a circumstance, a mis-
erable corn-patch for its feet. With ambition,
imagination, outgrowth,
nutriment,
with everything crammed belligerent-
ly inside itself, its fibres breed mon-
opoly —
a tail-like, wedge-shaped engine with the
secret of expansion, fused with intensive heat
to the color of the set-
ting sun and
stiff. For the man in the straw hat, stand-
ing still and turning to look back at it —
as much as
to say my happiest moment has
been funereal in comparison with this, the con-
ditions of life pre-
determined
slavery to be easy and freedom hard. For
it? Dismiss
agrarian lore; it tells him this:
that which it is impossible to force, it is
impossible to hinder.

Aim: To analyze various single subunit DNA dependent RNA polymerases and identify conserved motifs, active site regions among them and propose a plausible mechanism of action for these polymerases using the T7 RNA polymerase as a model system.
Study Design: Bioinformatics, Biochemical, Site-directed mutagenesis and X-ray crystallographic data were analyzed.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Molecular Microbiology, School of Biotechnology, Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai – 625 021, India, from 2010 to 2013.
Methodology: The advanced version of Clustal Omega was used for protein sequence analysis of various SSU DNA dependent RNA polymerases from viruses, mitochondria and chloroplasts. Along with the conserved motifs identified by the bioinformatics analysis and with the data obtained by X-ray crystallographic, biochemical and site-directed mutagenesis (SDM) were also used to confirm the possible amino acids involved in the active sites and catalysis of these RNA polymerases.
Results: Multiple sequence analyses of various single subunit (SSU) DNA dependent RNA polymerases from different sources showed only a few highly conserved motifs among them, except chloroplast RNA polymerases where a large number of highly conserved motifs were found. Possible catalytic regions in all these polymerases consist of a highly conserved amino acid K and a ‘gatekeeper’ YG pair. In addition to, these polymerases also use an invariant R at the -4 position from the YG pair and an invariant S/T, adjacent to the YG pair. Furthermore, two highly conserved Ds are implicated in the metal-binding site and thus might participate in the catalytic process. The YG pair appears to be specific for DNA templates as it is not reported in RNA dependent RNA polymerases.
Conclusion: The highly conserved amino acid K, the ‘gatekeeper’ YG pair and an invariant R which are reported in all DNA polymerases, are also found in these DNA dependent RNA polymerases. Therefore, these RNA polymerases might be using the same catalytic mechanism as DNA polymerases. The catalytic amino acid K could act as the proton abstractor and generate the necessary nucleophile at the 3’-OH and the YG pair, R and the S/T might involve in the template binding and selection of nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) for polymerization reactions. The two highly conserved Ds could act as the ‘NTP charge shielder’ and orient the alpha phosphate of incoming NTPs for the reaction at the 3’-OH growing end.

2013 Langar in Denbighshire
Llangar Church, or All Saints Old Parish Church, Llangar, was formerly the parish church of Llangar with Cynwyd, in the Dee Valley, Denbighshire, North Wales. It is now under the guardianship of Cadw, is a Scheduled Monument, and a grade I Listed Building. It is conserved and open to the public as an example of a rural church with medieval wall paintings and largely intact 18th century interior fittings.
Documentary sources show a church at Llangar in 1291,[2] but the present building would appear to date to the 15th century (1971 excavations within the church found this to be the earliest identifiable occupancy).[3] The Church has an undivided nave and chancel, flagstone floor, and arch-braced roof with 15th century roof trusses.[1] The walls have wall paintings, which probably represent at least 8 different layers of painted schemes. The earliest of these date to the 15th century.[2] The extensive woodwork of the interior includes a gallery, box pews, benches and pulpit, all of which date to the early part of the 18th century.
By 1682 the parish was two identifiable townships of Llangar and Cymmer. By 1856 the majority of the population were living even further up that valley, at Cynwyd, and with the church now distant and in poor repair the decision was made to build a new Church, the Church of St John Evangelist, Cynwyd, and abandon the old Church at Llangar, which thus avoided the renovations of the 19th century. The church is now under the guardianship of Cadw, having become very dilapidated in its abandoned state. A major conservation programme was undertaken from 1974.
Roof timbers
The oldest roof trusses are four arch-braced roof trusses forming the four bays in the centre of the Church. At the west end, above the gallery, further trusses were altered in the 17th or 18th centuries and are divided by a collar-beam truss.[1] At the chancel end the roof is panelled over with a barrel shaped ceiling to provide a 'canopy of honour' of 15th century design, although most of the fabric of this is now of later date.[1]
Internal woodwork
Triple-combination pulpit
The interior of the Church has an extensive range of early eighteenth century wooden fittings,[3] which, because of the subsequent abandonment of the Church, has survived in a largely unaltered state where nineteenth century improvers would have swept them away. There is a large gallery at the west end, accessed by a stone spiral staircase.[1] The gallery has wooden bench seating for a choir, and an enclosed area and a pyramidal music stand.[1] The main body of the Church has box pews, some facing east, others, alongside the pulpit, face south toward the pulpit, indicating the liturgical emphasis toward the pulpit, where the sermons are delivered, rather than the altar, where the mass is celebrated.[3] The pulpit itself is positioned part-way down the south wall,[3] and is a wood-panelled triple combination of pulpit, reading desk and clerk's desk, which is re-worked from 17th century items.[1]
Wall paintings
North wall of Llangar church, showing the series of rustic 'fictive wooden frames' for pictures such as a series of Passion scenes.
The north and south walls of the Church hold the fragmentary remains of possibly 8 different layers of wall painting, dating in age from the 15th to 18th centuries.[1] The principle pre-reformation schemes were painted as sequences of paintings running for much of the length of the wall. On the north wall this takes the form of a series of rustic frames, evoking an idea of a wooden framework, which would have held a series of pictures, possibly depicting the passion, although the images within the frames are hard to decipher.[4] Also on the north wall, overlaying some of the rustic frames, is a pre-reformation painting of an unknown Bishop, occupying an elaborate 'fictive architectural niche'.[1]
South wall 'deadly sin' painting of an animal, presumed to represent gluttony. The rider is lost but the image of the greedily feeding beast survives.
The south wall is divided into two rows of seven rectangular 'boxes'. In the upper row it appears there were images of personifications of the seven deadly sins, and in the row below a matching series of seven corporal works of mercy. This was a comparatively common theme in late medieval wall paintings,[5] In the Llangar paintings, each of the seven deadly sins appear to be represented through a person riding on the back of an animal. There are only three churches in Britain which use this device, the others being Hardwick, Cambridgeshire[6] and at Imber, Wiltshire.[7] As with many medieval wall paintings, large areas of the Llangar paintings have been lost or obscured. In several of the scenes the rider's hats are still visible, and the animals can still be seen, but the details of the riders are unclear, perhaps defaced.
The 18th century figure of Death, on the north wall, facing the door.
North wall paintings. Overlying the medieval panels are a picture of a bishop (left) and a post-reformation classical archway with the text of the Lord's Prayer.
The other paintings, found on various places around the Church, are mainly post-reformation works, painted after the now-unacceptable medieval images had been covered over. Most prominent, and most recent, is a large skeleton figure of Death, painted in the 18th century, serving as a reminder of mortality.[1] The classical arch frame on the north wall had the text of Gweddi'r Arglwydd, the Lord's Prayer in Welsh. The various texts painted on the walls embody a shift from images to words after the Reformation, which matches the shift in focus of the internal layout from the altar to the pulpit.[8]
There are no paintings on either of the two end walls, as both of these experienced structural problems and were rebuilt around 1615–1620, when the south porch was also added, and the west wall has been rebuilt twice since then.[9] This paintings on the two long walls demonstrate that these have remained intact since the time of the earliest of the paintings. They also now show the problem of dealing with multiple painted schemes on the same area of wall. The paintings were conserved in 1991, revealing multiple images from various time periods,[3] and decisions will have been made about when to leave some paint in place, and when to reveal older paintings at the expense of those on top.
Une tortue sacrée est conservée, momifiée, dans le temple Ngoc Son. Elle attire de nombreux curieux mais pas autant que le corps embaumé d'Ho Chi Minh conservé dans un imposant mausolée non loin de là. Lui non plus n'avait pas demandé à être ainsi exposé...

SA Police Museum.
This police museum was established in 1977 to conserve and detail some of the work and achievements of South Australian police personnel. The museum has five main galleries with different themes as well as a collection of police uniforms, police cars and motor cycles etc. The history of the South Australian Mounted Police Force began in 1838 making it the third oldest organised police force in the world after England and Ireland! Henry Inman was the first police chief in April 1838. The mounted police and their horses were in a paddock behind the SA Museum which later became their barracks and the state armoury site. They wore blue British style uniforms with a differences between the uniforms of footed and mounted officers. Our forward thinking police department was the first in Australia to introduce bicycles for officers in 1893 and they were not totally replaced by motor cycles until the 1950s. More significant than the introduction of bicycles was the introduction of female police officers 1915 – the second country in the British Empire to do so after NSW which also introduced female officers in 1915. These female officers received the same pay and had the same conditions as the men. The first female officers who were instrumental in having the women’s force established were Kate Cocks and Annie Ross. Kate Cocks had worked in Children’s Welfare before being transferred to the Police Department. The responsibilities of these two women centred on women and violence, prostitution and youth sex offences. SA also followed NSW’s early introduction of finger printing, the earliest form of forensic science in the police force in 1894. But SA provided the new Commonwealth of Australia with a uniform system of finger printing which was adopted across all states in 1904. The Police Museum also has a replica of a Black Maria police van for transporting criminals in a secure horse drawn carriage. The Black Maria’s were introduced in 1874 and used until replaced by motor vehicles in 1928.

The balustrade of the palace has been remodeled, conserving the murals by Diego Rivera that adorn the main stairwell and the walls of the second floor.
In the stairwell is a mural depicting the history of Mexico from 1521 to 1930 and covers an area of 450 m2. These murals were painted between 1929 and 1935, jointly titled "The Epic of the Mexican People". The work is divided like a triptych with each being somewhat autonomous. The right-hand wall contains murals depicting pre-Hispanic Mexico and centers around the life of the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl.
In the middle and largest panel, the Conquest is depicted with its ugliness, such as rape and torture, as well as priests defending the rights of the indigenous people. The battle for independence occupies the uppermost part of this panel in the arch. The American and French invasions are represented below this, as well as the Reform period and the Revolution.
The left-hand panel is dedicated to early and mid-20th century, criticizing the status quo and depicting a Marxist kind of utopia.
Diego also painted 11 panels on the middle floor, such as the "Tianguis of Tlatelolco" (tianguis means "market"), and the "Arrival of Hernán Cortés in Veracruz".

It's a very good conserved example of a late-gothic two-family palace. It forms a great ensemble with the palazzo Sanudo. John Ruskin remarks the façade's quality and sets the palace's architectonical importance directly behind the Doge's Palace ("...of the finest kind, and superb in its effect of colour when seen from the side ... But, taken as a whole, I think that, after the Ducal Palace, this is the noblest in effect of all in Venice." - The Stones of Venice, 'Venetian Index').
The porteghi are today subdivided, the 2nd piano nobile still has rococo ceiling frescoes in the rooms overlooking the Canale.
Also here (like at Palazzo Pisani-Moretta) the size of the courtyard (no public access!) was originally the double of today's size. Today it is reduced to a small light courtyard behind the middle part of the building. Initially, it extended to the Rio di Ca'Bernardo at the right side of the building. Presumably there was also a water gate. The porteghi's windows to the court are now serliana arches with large balconies. The large arch which opened the androne towards the court is now bricked up, but there's still conserved an interesting capital.
Most probably the access to the piani nobili was originally provided an open stairway. Today a round staircase (which could not be photographed satisfyingly) behind the right wing of the building is connected to the balconies of the porteghi.
The façade is a work of high sculptural quality. Especially the capitals of the portego loggias and the round disks above the windows of the building's wings (also called tondi) are remarkable.
Being the singular example of two high rectangular windows built very near to the gate, the water gate is a particularity. Additionally, there are oculi over the gate's pointed arch.
Also a bricked up aperture at the left of the gate, whose initial form is now known, is visible on the façade. The façade has the characteristic corner frames looking like turned ropes, which can also be found on other palace façades.
When I was at the palazzo end of August/beginning of September 1999, there was a protection on the water façade and over the Calle di Ca'Bernardo. As far as I was told, there was the danger of falling stones... An integral restoration is obviously necessary.
May 2003: restoration begun.
December 2003: restoration terminated. The wing towards the calle now in red plaster, the stone parts of the façade were cleaned.

Ravensburger / 12000 pieces / 625 5 949 7 / 1983
I had the good fortune to acquire this puzzle in almost perfect state. The box has some small storage damage, but the contents are in great condition.
The box includes:
- four factory sealed puzzle bags
- large poster of the complete puzzle image
- information sheet about the author, painting and the puzzle
- 1983 Ravensburger puzzle catalog
- bottle of puzzle conserver
I am looking forward to assembling this one, but it probably won't be soon. I plan to mix all four bags, and work on the whole puzzle, not just small sections. This will require a larger puzzle room which I do not have at the moment, so it will have to wait a bit.
NEW JERSEY’S BALD EAGLE POPULATION CONTINUES TO SOAR
January 14th, 2016
CONSERVE WILDLIFE FOUNDATION OF NEW JERSEY RELEASES RESULTS OF 2015 STATE BALD EAGLE REPORT
by Lindsay McNamara, Communications Manager
Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey today released the 2015 Bald Eagle Report, highlighting the number of nesting pairs, active nests and nest productivity for the raptors throughout New Jersey with data collected by New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Division of Fish and Wildlife biologists, CWF biologists and committed volunteers.
“With 161 pairs of bald eagles this past year — up from just a single nest in the early 1980’s — the dramatic ongoing recovery of bald eagles across the northeast continues to inspire so many of us,” said David Wheeler, Conserve Wildlife Foundation Executive Director. “The thrill of seeing a bald eagle fly across the sky is unparalleled. This report captures how these eagles are continuing their All-American return.”
The report notes that thirteen new eagle pairs were found this season, nine in the south, two in Central Jersey and two in Northern New Jersey.

You might conserve yourself all the time at the gym and also still be overweight. You could be on a number of weight-loss programs and also still be overweight. This is because the weight-loss industry has actually forecasted the concept that vigorous or exhausting workout is the key to slimming down. That explains why premium supplements such as HB5 Supplement is not as preferred as they ought to be.
You could additionally be on a stringent diet plan and still be overweight. The weight-loss market is a multi-billion-dollar market; little marvel why they prefer to bleed you of your money than cure you of your weight problems.
Many individuals invest countless dollars on solutions, medications, supplements, and treatments yet stay obese. This is since in some cases excessive weight has nothing to do with these points.

C'est Jésus qui vous a été enlevé.
Sous le Christ la main de Dieu représentée dans un médaillon. Sur l’arc en plein cintre, un Agnus Dei et deux anges thuriféraires, avec sous cet arc des personnages non identifiables dans des médaillons. Enfin, sur le dernier registre du mur, deux cavaliers sont situés de part et d’autre, le premier complètement effacé dont ne reste que la tête du cheval. A droite, le cavalier Constantin tenant un sceptre et un orbe, et marchant dans la direction du Christ, est le seul des quatre dont l’identité nous soit parvenue. Sur cette partie du mur se superposent le cavalier roman et les dernières scènes du cycle de la vie de saint Jean-Baptiste, datant du XIIIe siècle.
Sur le mur Nord, de gauche à droite, se situent une figure profane, un paon sous chaque oculi et sous l’arc en mitre un saint anonyme, avec à droite du mur deux apôtres. Sur le mur Ouest, les peintures sont très endommagées, un paon est tou-jours visible bien que pâle, un vase ocre s'y distingue aussi (vase de vie ou pour utiliser le chrême en vue d'oindre les catéchumènes. Un deuxième paon devait se trouver à côté avec, plus bas, deux autres cavaliers dont l’un est complet, couronné et tenant un sceptre. Le quatrième et dernier cavalier est lui aussi endommagé, seul le haut de son corps étant visible tenant les rênes de son cheval.
Sur le mur Sud, deux apôtres, non complets avec sous l’oculus un paon et sous l’arc en mitre, saint Maurice d’Agaune, désigné ici par MAVRICIVS en habit de légionnaire, ses reliques étant conservées dans la cathédrale primitive. Sous le second oculus, un dragon fait face à un homme brandissant une épée, symbole du combat entre le bien et le mal. Entre ces deux figures, une inscription CIL CRIA MARCI ET VRNA : il demanda grâce et s’enfuit (plus vieille inscription connue en langue vernaculaire) (cf. fra.archinform.net).

Wood is a key material in archaeological research. As it is easy to manipulate, wood objects and tools were ubiquitous in the life of our ancestors. To conserve wood findings for our descendants the reliable conservation of this objects is vital. A key aspect of the preservation of wood objects is their conservation by chemical agents. In this project, we quantify how the conserving agent interacts with the artefact. This image shows one of 2000 virtual cross-sections through a cylinder from archaeological oak with 3 mm diameter. Based on these images, the distribution of conserving agents within the sample are quantified.
