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.

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.

Peintes vers 1080-1120, les peintures romanes sont très bien conservées et extrêmement bien réali-sées. Bien que lacunaire, ce programme est riche de plusieurs thèmes iconographiques. Sur le mur est, une frise grecque avec effet de relief et différents oiseaux parcourt tout le baptistère. Entre les deux oculi, un Christ avec un nimbe crucifère se tient en majesté dans sa mandorle avec un livre ouvert où est inscrit EGO [SUM V] I [TA] : Je suis la vie (Jean, XIV, 6). Autour de lui, deux anges épousent parfaitement la forme des fenêtres, tous deux tournés vers les Apôtres désignant le Christ. Ceux-ci ne sont pas reconnaissables individuellement, hormis saint Pierre à la droite du Christ. Ils sont en mouvement et marchent sur des vagues représentants le monde sur lequel répandre la parole divine, avec au dessus d'eux une inscription en latin AS-CENDO AD PA-TREM [MEUM E] T PA-TREM [VES-TRVM, DEVM ET DEVM VES-TRVM]. VI[RI G]A[LIL] EI [QVIS S]TA[TIS AS-PI-CIENT] ES IN CELVM. HIC HIESVS QVI ASVMTVS EST A VOBIS : Je monte vers mon Père et votre Père, mon Dieu et votre Dieu. Galilée qui lève les yeux au ciel. 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).

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. Research study reveals there are well known hormone blocks that create weight problems. I guarantee to expose these hormonal blocks if you continue reading.
Firstly, being obese includes many disadvantages, clinically. For instance, when you get excess weight, your body's demand for oxygen increases. When this happens, the work on your heart is enhanced. This is because your heart tries to pump even more blood to meet up with the weight gain.

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.

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.

Des stalles du château de Gaillon sont conservées dans la basilique Saint-Denis près de Paris. Ce château était la résidence de loisir des archevêques de Rouen. Commandées au début du XVIe siècle par Georges d’Amboise, ces stalles ont été construites lorsque cet archevêque, devenu légat du pape et premier conseiller de Louis XII a fait transformer le château médiéval en palais de la Renaissance. Seules stalles en France à présenter de nombreux panneaux de marqueterie et une iconographie inédite, elles forment un mobilier unique, chef-d’œuvre de cette période charnière entre gothique et Renaissance, arborant une grande mixité de styles. Ces stalles sont les chaires qui étaient destinées aux trois chanoines qui officiaient dans la chapelle haute du château de Gaillon, dédiée à saint Georges. Elles étaient ceintes d’une clôture en boiset constituaient ainsi le chœur liturgique de l'édifice.
Les stalles en chêne sont composées de deux rangées disposées côté nord et sud du transept de la basilique de Saint-Denis. La rangée nord présente un ensemble de six stalles, la rangée sud de cinq stalles et une isolée. Seules douze stalles ont été créées au XVIe siècle alors que le programme iconographique en prévoyait quatorze. De 2,83 m de haut, elles composées d’un siège et d’un dorsal, ce dernier comprenant deux registres : un bas-relief surmontant un panneau de marqueterie. Tous les éléments sont sculptés ou marquetés. De manière unique, les dossiers, les dorsaux et les voussures des dais sont galbés. De même les chaires ont des largeurs variées, fixées par celles des bas-reliefs des dorsaux. Pour s’adapter, les largeurs d’autres composants ont été rectifiées. La mixité de style se retrouve dans la globalité, les interdorsaux et deux dais étant gothiques alors que les faibles reliefs sont apparentés aux grotesques de la Renaissance, les bas-reliefs et les marqueteries des dorsaux étant quant à eux à la fois d’inspiration péninsulaire et septentrionale.
Sont illustrées sur les bas-reliefs originaux des dorsaux deux scènes de la vie d’Anne et Joachim, parents de la vierge Marie, cinq scènes de la vie de saint Jean-Baptiste le précurseur et sept scènes de la vie de saint Georges selon les textes d’Évangile ou de la Légende dorée. Nombre d’autres saints sont présentés en pied, sous forme de statuettes sur les interdorsaux ou de bas-reliefs sur les soubassements des jouées, notamment les quatre évangélistes sur ces derniers. Sur les panneaux marquetés des quadrants des parcloses sont figurées les affres des enfers des condamnés selon les sept péchés capitaux, avec les planètes et leurs influences. Les représentations sont inspirées des gravures du Calendrier des bergers imprimé à cette époque.
Les miséricordes figurent des scènes des Métamorphoses d’Ovide ainsi que les arts libéraux selon la Margarita Philosophica de G. Reisch. Les artisans se sont inspirés de gravures d’ouvrages imprimés au début du XVIe siècle, par exemple le soldat romain Caius Mucius Scaevola devant le roi Étrusque Porsenna y étant représenté exposant ainsi des thématiques propres à la culture antique. De manière également tout à fait inédite, les 7 vertus, cardinales et théologales, et 7 sibylles sont figurées et représentées sur les panneaux de marqueterie du premier registre des dorsaux. Les allégories et les prophétesses sont encadrées d’architectures identiques deux à deux qui les mettent en concordance. Les sibylles ont été choisies parmi celles du manuscrit des Heures de Louis de Laval dont les auteurs ont cité les prophéties. Ces dernières proviennent du manuscrit des Institutions divines de Lactance qui était de nouveau traduit et que le cardinal a lui-même fait enluminer. Ce grand rhéteur du IVe siècle ayant quant à lui repris les oracles rédigés dans les Oracles sibyllins.
Georges Ier d’Amboise n’a pas manqué de faire valoir qu’il était le commanditaire des stalles en demandant à ce que ses armes et sa devise y figurent à de nombreuses reprises. Le légat a donné pour modèles aux artisans des stalles des enluminures ou gravures de manuscrits faisant partie de sa splendide bibliothèque, digne d'un grand érudit humaniste. Il fit venir l’Italie en choisissant la marqueterie figurative en sus de la sculpture, seule technique utilisée à l'époque en France. Sans renier la tradition en faisant figurer les saints, il a fait représenter de manière inédite leur cycle de vie, dont il a choisi des événements bien spécifiques. De plus, il a incité les fidèles à s’instruire et à étudier les auteurs antiques en faisant sculpter des allégories des arts libéraux et des personnages mythiques ou héroïques. Enfin, par le dialogue des sibylles et des vertus, il a montré que la rhétorique de Lactance était convaincante. Il a ainsi non seulement introduit en France la mode italienne dans le mobilier, le décor et les ornements du château de Gaillon, mais surtout donné corps à l’esprit humaniste en faisant de ses stalles les messagères qui appellent à une vie vertueuse, dans la foi au Christ annoncé à tous les hommes (cf. wikipédia, merci Glass Angel pour la photo).
They call me the Conservator for a reason... I’m created to conserve those thoughts, dreams, drawings & things that give rise to the importance in your life: memories.
I’m dressed in a richly delicious, crinkly soft piece of reclaimed leather, embellished with an antique keyhole cover which has been stitched into my cover flap with complimentary dark rust colored linen thread. As you are the key holder to the contents of this journal, the keyhole has been filled with a wee scrap of faded red & cream striped fabric, instead of a key.
Open me up, and you’ll find I begin and end with covers extracted from a vintage music book circa 1950s, complete with beautiful olde worn tape marks leaving a sepia finish on the edges.
Inside, you can entertain yourself with a plethora of 576 hand-torn pages (288 sheets) to slather your masterpieces, scriptures, notations and obsessive lists. The paper used is Archive Text quality paper with a short grain & slight cream color, which has been enhanced in the Bibliographica studio by tea-staining each piece by hand. The paper is classified as a permanent long life paper as defined in the American National Standard.
To ensure your creations are protected, I close with a long brown leather wrap tie.
Measuring 6 ½ x 5 inches with a 2 ½ inch spine, I am an exquisite, unique journal ready to be taken on a journey.
The palazzo van Axel (more precisely Soranzo-Venier-Sanudo-van Axel-Barozzi) is surely one of the best conserved examples of a late gothic two-family palazzo. The palazzo was built in 1473-79 by Nicolò Soranzo, with use of material of the predecessor pre-gothic palace of the Gradenigo family. After the Soranzo, the building was property of the Venier and Sanudo. In 1628, the van Axel family acquired the palazzo. As the name tells, the family was from Axel, near Gand in Holland. In 1919, lord Dino Barozzi bought the building.
The two water façades meet in an obtuse angle as a result of the location. The main façade to the Rio della Panada is rather extensive, a fact which is cannot be recognized at once, because there is no possibility (except from the building in front) to see the façade straightly. But it can be clearly seen on the lithography by Marco Moro, which can be often found in the technical literature.
The porteghi are opened by a four-arch loggia of the sixth order. They are conserved without subdivisions, but also without any wall decorations. The decorated wood ceilings (which I could only see through windows) seem to be of a certain value.
At the interior, the private rooms gained importance, a fact which can be easily derived from the plan. At least the left wing contains another ceiling in the first piano nobile. Small windows, which are superposed in the right wing of the second piano nobile, give occasion to the assumption that also there are additional ceilings.
The land gate to the Fondamenta van Axel is certainly one of the most important ones in Venice. Althogh it is restored (the frame does not show any traces of dilapidation), it was surely similar in the fifteenth century. The very detailed coat of arms of the van Axel faimily is remarkable. It can also be found in the larger courtyard. Although some of the round wood sculptures are missing, the large wooden door is still original in most parts. The gate is also shown (in today's state) in Angiolo Tursi's book (see Literature section), leading to the conclusion that the gate restoration was before 1923.
As Jacopo de'Barbari's view of Venice shows, the additional floor above the land gate existed already around 1500, .
The courtyards (no public access!) contain the conserved gothic open stairways. Having entered the great court through the described gate, you can see the the stairway through two segment arches, which rest on a shared column. This stairway ends in the portego of the second piano nobile. A stage originally permitted the access to the rooms at the left. Another platform is at the separation wall towards the second (smaller) courtyard. Through an 'oculus', which seems to be neogothic and which was perhaps added by Barozzi, the roof and marble incrustations of the Miracoli church can be seen.

Description de l’œuvre
La scène représente un moment poignant de la Passion du Christ : Jésus, assis devant un fond sombre, est couronné d’épines par deux soldats romains. L’un le saisit par les cheveux, l’autre par le poignet, accentuant la tension dramatique de l’instant. Le contraste entre la lumière et l’ombre, caractéristique du caravagisme, souligne la souffrance et la dignité du Christ .
Contexte artistique
Orazio Gentileschi, influencé par Caravage, adopte dans cette œuvre un style maniériste, combinant une composition équilibrée et une attention minutieuse aux détails. Cette peinture témoigne de sa maîtrise technique et de sa capacité à transmettre des émotions profondes à travers la représentation des figures et l’utilisation de la lumière .
Informations complémentaires
L’œuvre a été acquise par le musée Herzog Anton Ulrich auprès de la galerie Thomas Agnew & Sons. Elle est considérée comme l’une des interprétations les plus puissantes de ce thème dans l’art baroque italien
Voici une analyse approfondie de Le Couronnement d’épines d’Orazio Gentileschi, une œuvre aussi intense qu’équilibrée, qui conjugue le pathos de la Passion à la rigueur formelle du style baroque italien.
1. Composition et structure formelle
La scène est composée avec une grande clarté géométrique. Le Christ est assis, placé légèrement décentré, entouré de deux bourreaux. Cette disposition triangulaire stabilise visuellement la scène, tout en mettant en tension les forces physiques et émotionnelles en présence.
Le corps du Christ, presque nu, est représenté de profil, mais son visage se tourne vers le spectateur, créant une ligne diagonale de tension.
Les deux soldats romains sont flanqués à gauche et à droite, se penchant violemment sur lui. Leurs gestes sont dynamiques, contrastant avec l’immobilité douloureuse du Christ.
Le fond sombre isole les figures et concentre l’attention sur l’interaction physique et psychologique.
Gentileschi évite le décor narratif ou anecdotique. Il ne garde que l’essentiel : trois figures, un espace sombre et un moment suspendu.
2. Lumière et couleur
Influencé par Le Caravage, Orazio Gentileschi adopte un clair-obscur puissant mais subtil :
Une lumière venue de la gauche éclaire le torse du Christ et les visages des soldats.
Le jeu de lumière ne dramatise pas de manière spectaculaire comme chez Caravage, mais crée un effet de douceur tragique, typique du style plus lyrique d’Orazio.
Les couleurs sont sobres :
Chair pâle du Christ, mise en valeur par l’ombre environnante.
Tuniques sombres, brun rougeâtre ou verdâtres pour les soldats.
Touche d’écarlate dans les draperies, qui fait subtilement écho au sang versé.
3. Psychologie des personnages
Gentileschi met l’accent sur la dimension psychologique plutôt que spectaculaire :
Le Christ, silencieux, les yeux ouverts, regarde légèrement vers le haut. Il ne résiste pas, n’exprime pas la douleur. Il est figuré comme une figure sacrificielle digne, sereine même dans la souffrance.
Les soldats ne sont pas des caricatures de violence. L’un grimace, l’autre se concentre. Ce sont des hommes dans l’acte de faire le mal, presque mécaniquement.
On sent dans cette œuvre l’influence du maniérisme tardif de Florence (par son raffinement) et du naturalisme caravagesque (par la brutalité du sujet).
4. Violence retenue et sensualité spirituelle
La violence est bien présente :
Le Christ est tiré par les cheveux, la couronne est enfoncée avec force.
Ses poignets sont saisis, son corps est tendu.
Mais tout cela est représenté avec retenue : les gestes sont mesurés, les muscles ne sont pas exagérément contractés, le sang est à peine visible. Cela produit un effet de tension intérieure, plus que de pathos théâtral.
Il y a une sensualité douce, presque ambiguë, dans la façon dont la chair du Christ est modelée à la lumière : sa peau lisse, ses traits nobles, la ligne souple de son torse. Cette sensualité n’est jamais érotique, mais renforce le contraste entre l’innocence et la violence.
5. Contexte et interprétation spirituelle
Ce tableau date d’une période où Orazio Gentileschi, après avoir travaillé à Rome, cherche une voie personnelle entre l’influence caravagesque et une tradition plus classique.
Le thème du Couronnement d’épines symbolise la souffrance expiatoire du Christ, son acceptation volontaire de la douleur humaine.
Gentileschi insiste sur la patience héroïque du Christ, en accord avec l’iconographie catholique post-tridentine : montrer un modèle de vertu dans la douleur.
Il s’agit ici moins de montrer la violence que de méditer sur la dignité dans l’épreuve.
Conclusion
Le Couronnement d’épines d’Orazio Gentileschi est une œuvre rare, où la douleur devient beauté, où la violence est contenue par l’harmonie, où le pathos est maîtrisé par l’élégance. C’est un tableau de spiritualité intense et silencieuse, profondément humain, et d’une grande force esthétique.

Metropolitan’s 2015 multi-media water conservation advertising and outreach campaign, called “Turn.” The campaign, which will run throughout our service area this summer and fall, is built around the message that if all Southern Californians do a little to save water, it adds up to a lot.
Using eye-catching images of indoor and outdoor knobs, faucets, handles and irrigation timers, the ads show the importance of turning off water whenever possible and provide tips for conserving.
Below are links to the television commercial and some of the outdoor displays. We hope you will share this information and our bewaterwise.com website with family and friends as a way to encourage everyone to save more water.

Weck is a German brand of glass jars for conserving food, with a long tradition, dating back to the year 1900.
Their articles are still beloved for the quality and simplicity of their design. The mechanism for closing and sealing the lid is especially ingenious, combining a rubber ring and 3 metal clamps that you use to securely apply strong and even pressure.
Cette momie, très bien conservée, est celle d'un homme qui vivait à l'époque ptolémaïque. Selon les usages de cette période, le corps du défunt est soigneusement enveloppé dans des bandelettes de lin dont la disposition atteint, notamment au niveau du visage, une grande qualité artistique. Il est recouvert d'un cartonnage composé de plusieurs éléments : un masque qui couvre la tête, un large collier posé sur la poitrine, un tablier déployé sur ses jambes et enfin, une enveloppe pour les pieds.
Le décor du cartonnage
Cette momie est, d'après les résultats d'un examen radiographique, celle d'un homme adulte. Son nom, écrit de façon hâtive, pourrait se lire Pachéry ou bien Nenou : sa lecture pose encore quelques problèmes. Son visage est recouvert d'un masque aux traits harmonieux au sommet duquel est représenté un scarabée ailé, symbole de renaissance. Le large collier ousekh qui couvre sa poitrine est constitué de plusieurs rangs de perles et comporte des fermoirs en forme de tête de faucon. Sur le tablier qui couvre son corps prennent place diverses scènes réparties en registres. On peut notamment voir la momie allongée sur un lit entouré des déesses Isis et Nephthys et des quatre fils d'Horus. Enfin sur la boîte à pieds prennent place deux représentations du dieu funéraire Anubis. Les textes énumèrent les noms de tous les dieux présents auxquels le défunt confie sa destinée, appelant de tous ses voeux un bel enterrement dans la nécropole.
Un corps préservé pour l'éternité
En Egypte ancienne, tout le monde n'a pas accès aux pratiques funéraires garantissant une survie éternelle et beaucoup doivent se contenter d'une simple fosse creusée dans le désert et de quelques modestes offrandes. Pour les plus chanceux, la préservation du corps est un gage supplémentaire de survie dans l'autre monde. Celui-ci offre un nouveau support aux divers éléments constituant son être vivant dispersés au moment du décès. Si les premières momies ne sont guère plus que des corps enveloppés dans des bandes de lin imprégnées de résine, les méthodes ne tarderont pas à évoluer et seront réellement au point à partir du Nouvel Empire. Le nombre de momies augmentant beaucoup par la suite, leur qualité aura tendance à décroître. Cependant, celles de l'époque gréco-romaine sont souvent remarquables par l'arrangement très subtil de leurs bandelettes. Selon les époques, la momie pouvait être recouverte d'un vêtement, d'une résille de perles, d'un masque, d'une planche décorée en bois ou d'un cartonnage. A l'époque Ptolémaïque, ce sont différents éléments en cartonnage qui sont installés sur la momie avant qu'elle ne soit déposée dans son cercueil.
Un témoignage tardif : Hérodote
L'historien Hérodote qui a visité l'Egypte vers 450 avant J.-C. nous a laissé une description très détaillée des opérations de momification. Il rapporte notamment que trois types de traitement du corps étaient proposés, variant en qualité et bien sûr en prix. Le plus élaboré comportait l'enlèvement du cerveau et des viscères susceptibles de se corrompre. Ces derniers étaient momifiés à part et conservés dans des vases dits canopes. L'intérieur du corps était ensuite lavé avec du vin de palme, puis de la myrrhe broyée et divers aromates y étaient déposés. Le corps était ensuite recouvert de natron, pendant soixante dix jours en principe, afin d'en accélérer la déshydratation. A l'issue de ce traitement, il était entouré de bandelettes de lin imprégnées de résine entre lesquelles les prêtres prenaient soin de glisser de nombreuses amulettes protectrices..Source texte: www.louvre.fr/oeuvre-notices/momie-dhomme .

Peintes vers 1080-1120, les peintures romanes sont très bien conservées et extrêmement bien réali-sées. Bien que lacunaire, ce programme est riche de plusieurs thèmes iconographiques. Sur le mur est, une frise grecque avec effet de relief et différents oiseaux parcourt tout le baptistère. Entre les deux oculi, un Christ avec un nimbe crucifère se tient en majesté dans sa mandorle avec un livre ouvert où est inscrit EGO [SUM V] I [TA] : Je suis la vie (Jean, XIV, 6). Autour de lui, deux anges épousent parfaitement la forme des fenêtres, tous deux tournés vers les Apôtres désignant le Christ. Ceux-ci ne sont pas reconnaissables individuellement, hormis saint Pierre à la droite du Christ. Ils sont en mouvement et marchent sur des vagues représentants le monde sur lequel répandre la parole divine, avec au dessus d'eux une inscription en latin AS-CENDO AD PA-TREM [MEUM E] T PA-TREM [VES-TRVM, DEVM ET DEVM VES-TRVM]. VI[RI G]A[LIL] EI [QVIS S]TA[TIS AS-PI-CIENT] ES IN CELVM. HIC HIESVS QVI ASVMTVS EST A VOBIS : Je monte vers mon Père et votre Père, mon Dieu et votre Dieu. Galilée qui lève les yeux au ciel. 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).
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.

Dragged ourselves round Malvern Flea Fair on Easter Monday, despite both suffering from colds - our first colds in over 2 years because of Covid social distancing!
I wasn't feeling so poorly that I couldn't spot a bargain, because I noticed a box containing four vintage jigsaws lying on the grass... after a brief discussion with the vendors we agreed I could have them for a fiver. They're more to Mike's taste than mine but we shared the honours on this one, the largest at 1,000pcs, and complete.
Sections of puzzle after inserting the conserved pieces are shown here.

Conserving an endangered species of plant isn't easy. It takes partners to help grow and propagate the seedlings, volunteers to help plant and care for them, and people like you to support and believe that every species is worth saving.
We spent this Endangered Species Day helping to ensure a future for native Hawaiian species by outplanting endangered seedlings at Pearl Harbor National Wildlife Refuge. Mahalo to the University of Hawaii and the Hawaii Department of Fish and Wildlife for supporting native and endangered species!

Le béguinage de Turnhout est l'un des béguinages flamands inscrit sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO en 1998.
Aucune date de fondation exacte n'est connue pour le béguinage de Turnhout, mais il a probablement été fondé au xiiie siècle.
La guérite classique et la place allongée bordée d'arbres caractérisent ce béguinage. Il y a une église baroque bien conservée, une infirmerie et des maisons des xvie et xviie siècles.
La dernière béguine, la grande demoiselle Anna De Boer, est décédée en 2002.
Un musée présente les aspects culturels de la béguine.
Wie viele Beginenhöfe im Herzogtum Brabant wurde auch der Beginenhof in Turnhout wahrscheinlich im 13. Jahrhundert gegründet. Die älteste erhaltene Aufzeichnung stammt jedoch aus dem Jahr 1340. Sowohl der Standort als auch die später nachweisbaren Verbindungen zwischen dem Beginenhof und dem Schloss lassen vermuten, dass die Herzöge von Brabant bei seiner Gründung eine Rolle gespielt haben. Im Jahr 1372 gewährte Maria von Brabant, Herzogin von Geldern und Herrin von Turnhout, eine Reihe von Freiheiten, die 1399 von ihrer Schwester Johanna, Herzogin von Brabant, bestätigt und erweitert wurden.
Im Laufe des 15. Jahrhunderts wurde der Beginenhof immer wieder mit Gunstbezeugungen überhäuft, und es wurde eine Reihe von Beschlüssen für eine angemessene Organisation des Hofes gefasst. Im Jahr 1399 gab es bereits eine Krankenstation. Im Jahr 1415 wurde der Hochaltar in der alten Kirche geweiht. Die Gründung mehrerer Kapellen folgte kurz darauf (1418, 1419, 1478). Im Jahr 1480 gab es achtzehn Häuser im Beginenhof, 1526 achtundzwanzig.
Das 16. Jahrhundert verlief weniger günstig. Am 12. Juli 1562 wurde der Beginenhof teilweise durch ein Feuer zerstört, einschließlich der Krankenstation, die sich damals auf der Südseite befand, dem Waldtor und dem angrenzenden Teil der Warande (einem eingezäunten Jagdrevier) des Schlosses. Am 23. August 1566 wurde die Kirche von Bilderstürmern geplündert und verunstaltet.
Der Aufschwung im 17. Jahrhundert war durch mehrere Erweiterungen nach Westen gekennzeichnet, und 1624 wurde die damals noch bestehende Kirche vergrößert. Im Jahr 1642 reichte der Hof bis kurz hinter das Nordtor. Im folgenden Jahr erhielten die Beginen von Philipp IV. 120 Ruten Land, und 1656 schenkte ihnen Cornelis Lantschots testamentarisch einen Hof im Weiler Lokeren „zur Errichtung oder Vergrößerung der Kirche des Beginenhofs daselbst“. Sie entschieden sich für den Bau einer neuen Kirche, deren Grundstein am 25. Juni 1662 gelegt wurde. Das neue Gotteshaus wurde 1666 in Betrieb genommen. In der Zwischenzeit war das neue Pfarrhaus gebaut worden und mehrere Häuser an der Nord- und Südseite waren hinzugekommen. Im Jahr 1693 gründete der Beginenpfarrer Joannes Mermans eine bedeutende Stiftung, die den weniger begüterten Beginen große Vorteile verschaffte; in diesem Jahr gab es in Turnhout etwa 360 Beginen. Ab dem 17. Jahrhundert wurden in den Beginenhöfen Privatschulen eingerichtet, in denen Französisch, Frauenhandwerk und Klöppeln auf dem Lehrplan standen. Im 18. Jahrhundert waren vier oder fünf dieser Schulen aktiv. Im Jahr 1794 gab es in Turnhout noch 164 Beginen.
Während der Franzosenzeit wurden alle religiösen Versammlungen verboten, die Tore des Beginenhofs geschlossen und die Kirche in einen Tempel der Vernunft umgewandelt (1797). Ab dem 8. September 1814 durften die Beginen wieder das Ordensgewand tragen. Ihre Besitztümer wurden jedoch der „Commission der Bürgerlichen Gotteshäuser“ übertragen, die seither für die Verwaltung und Instandhaltung des Hofes zuständig ist. Das religiöse Leben erhielt im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts neue Impulse: 1876 wurde eine Lourdesgrotte errichtet, die viele Pilger anziehen sollte, und 1885–1887 wurde die Kapelle des Heiligen Antlitzes gebaut, „um der Entweihung der Sonntage in Turnhout entgegenzuwirken“.
Im 20. Jahrhundert schwand der Beginenhof dahin und starb schließlich aus. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs war der Beginenhof Schauplatz erbitterter Kämpfe. Im Jahr 1944 wurden sogar Schützengräben hinter der Kirche ausgehoben. Zu dieser Zeit war der Beginenhof für kurze Zeit auch ein Zufluchtsort für die Klarissen und die Schwestern der Beekstraat. Um 1950 planten die „Freunde des Beginenhofs“ die Einrichtung eines Museums, das am 27. September 1953 eröffnet wurde.
Im Jahr 2014 ist der Beginenhof Eigentum des Wohlfahrtsverbands OCMW. Für die Verwaltung der Häuser entschied sich das OCMW für einen langfristigen Mietvertrag über 33 Jahre, der zweimal verlängert werden kann. Derzeit fallen 29 Häuser unter diese Regelung.
Het begijnhof van Turnhout is een van de Vlaamse begijnhoven die in 1998 opgenomen werden op de werelderfgoedlijst.
Van het begijnhof van Turnhout is geen precieze stichtingsdatum bekend, maar waarschijnlijk werd ze in de 13e eeuw opgericht.
Het vroegclassicistische poortgebouw en het langwerpig beboomde plein typeren dit begijnhof. Er is een goed bewaarde barokkerk, infirmerie en huizen uit de 16e en 17e eeuw.
De laatste begijn, grootjuffrouw Anna De Boer, overleed in 2002.
Er is een museum waar men meer over de begijnencultuur te weten kan komen. In 2022 raakte bekend dat het poortgebouw gerenoveerd wordt
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".
