A large conserved ruin of a late 13th Century castle. It was besieged for nine weeks in 1339, captured and devastated, and the owner killed. King Charles IV. purchased the castle from his heirs in 1356, and restored it. It was used by the wealthiest families as a strongpoint, and was often besieged. It´s importance vanished in the 17th Century, many objects were damaged in the 18th Century when the new owners searched for a treasure. Extensive conservation was done after WW2, the chapel was completely restored and roofed. The area was opened to public in 1994, and is a very nice weekend trip target.

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".

To celebrate World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) on 11 May this year, the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) will host a regional WMBD event on the shores of Lake Elementaita to raise awareness about the need to conserve the migratory birds and their habitats.
World Migratory Bird Day is commemorated in every continent, connecting people and cultures around the globe in the same respect that migratory birds do on their journeys each year. However, the impacts of people around world have led to habitat loss and degradation, greatly affecting many migratory bird species. The survival of migratory birds depends on the availability of well-connected networks of habitats along their migration routes for breeding, feeding, resting and wintering.
The 2013 World Migratory Bird DayTheme - "Networking for migratory birds"
This year's World Migratory Bird Day theme "Networking for migratory birds" aims to emphasize both ecological networks, as well as networks between organizations and individuals and their mutual importance for the long-term conservation of migratory birds. Since migration routes often cross many countries and even entire continents, an effective management strategy requires joint action in the form of international cooperation. Collective conservation actions by governments, nature conservation organizations, scientists and the general public are needed to ensure the survival of migratory birds.
World Migratory Bird Day 2013 - Regional Kenyan Event at Lake Elementaita
Lake Elementaita is an important site for migratory birds and is the venue for this year's regional World Migratory Bird Day 2013 event in Kenya that will take place on 11 May 2013 starting at 9:00am.
The event is being hosted by the government of Kenya through Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), the focal point of the Convention on Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) and the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA) in collaboration with the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement Secretariat (UNEP/AEWA) and with funding from the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU).
This event will be preceded by a five days International Training of Trainers (ToT) workshop on the flyway approach to the conservation and wise use of waterbirds and wetlands taking place from 6 - 10 May 2013 at the Kenya Wildlife Service Training Institute (KWSTI) in Naivasha, Kenya. The training targets participants from Eastern and Southern African countries and will use the Wings Over Wetlands (WOW) Flyway Training Kit as a central training resource. The ToT workshop and the WMBD event, both contribute to the implementation of priority awareness-raising activities as identified by the AEWA African Parties in the recently adopted AEWA Plan of Action for Africa 2012-2017.
Lake Elementaita
Lake Elementaita, important for numerous migratory waterbirds including the near threatened Lesser Flamingo (Phoeniconaias minor), is a shallow alkaline lake lying on the floor of the Great Rift Valley at 1,776 m above sea level. Although the lake and a terrestrial buffer zone cover an area of about 108.8 km2, the size of the open water body fluctuates between 19 km2 and 22km2. It was designated as an Important Bird Area (IBA) in 1999 and as a Ramsar site in 2005. It was, however, not until 2010 that Lake Elementaita was proclaimed as a National Wildlife Sanctuary. The Wildlife Sanctuary encompasses the whole of Lake Elementaita and its surrounding riparian lands. In 2011, Lake Elementaita, Lake Nakuru and Lake Bogoria were inscribed by UNESCO as part of the Kenya Lakes System in the Great Rift Valley World Heritage Site.
Many human activities directly or indirectly damage sites through habitat fragmentation and degradation thereby posing a grave threat to migratory bird species. These important habitats are disappearing and with them the ecological networks that connect them. With limited access to these important sites like Lake Elementaita, birds may not survive their demanding journeys. Consequently, the management of ecological networks is crucial for the protection of avian migratory species. Lake Elementaita's status as a national Wildlife Sanctuary, IBA and Ramsar site as well as being part of the Great Rift Valley World Heritage Site shows the site's great importance as a wilderness conservation area. These protection statuses will help conserve Lake Elementaita's great environmental resources, including migratory birds, for generations to come.
What is World Migratory Bird Day?
Launched in 2006 on the edge of the Great Rift Valley in Laikipia (Kenya) - World Migratory Bird Day is an annually celebrated awareness-raising campaign aiming to inspire the worldwide conservation of both migratory birds and their habitats. The campaign is organized by the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) and the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA); two international wildlife treaties administered by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). World Migratory Bird Day is also supported by a growing number of partners, such as BirdLife International, Wetlands International, the East Asian-Australasian Flyway Partnership (EAAFP) and the International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation (CIC).
Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) in collaboration with a number of national stakeholders including the National Museums of Kenya, Kenya Forest Service, National Environment Management Authority among other including Nature Kenya and Soysambu Conservancy will be hosting the regional WMBD event on 11 May 2013 at Lake Elementaita, Kenya.

Conserved ruins of a late 13th Century castle on a hill in a long and tight valley. The builders formerly colonized western Bohemia, and when they secured eastern Bohemia, they built new castles which they named after those in the West, there is also another Litice Castle (almost non-existent today). This castle mas a major strongpoint in the area for the next centuries, besieged and damaged in 1421, rebuilt and extended after 1450. It lost importance in the 16th Century, only the most basic personal maintained it, it´s seen as half demolished on a 1657 illustration, and last repairs were made in 1681. The northern palace was saved when it got a new roof in 1776, but the southern palace was left to it´s faith. Conservations of the remaining buildings and walls were done between 1890 and 1935, the preserved remains show that it was indeed a well built and durable fortress. The ruin was closed for some years due bad statics in the 1980´s, and reopened only after basic stabilization, a palace wall partially collapsed in 2015 and the castle still needs rescue efforts.
In the morning assembly all the students along with staff took a pledge to conserve water. One of the teachers, Varkha Singh (Punjabi teacher) delivered a speech on the topic. After the pledge the students of 5th, 6th and 7th class were sent to nearby village named Ugrahan. They marched in the village with banners in their hands in the form of a Chetna March; they reached the Dharmsala of the village. There they performed a stage programme which started with a Shabad followed by a religious song. Then the students of 7th class played a skit which conveyed a message to conserve water. Hardeep Kaur of 10th class made a speech touching different aspects of water. Mr. Balbir Singh (S.St teacher) and Mr. Jaspal Das (S.St teacher) also delivered speeches and told the farmers gathered there to adopt crop rotation and save water for future and they shed light on keeping the environment neat and clean.

UNEP is working with local partners to conserve and restore mangrove forests and related coastal ecosystems, while promoting sustainable management of coastal resources. Mangroves contribute to coastal resilience by protecting against storm surges and acting as nurseries for commercially important fish species.
In this Port Salut river mouth the mangroves have been cut down for charcoal. As part of UNEP's Disaster Risk Reduction programmes, replanting of mangroves is ongoing in the South Department to protect the coastline.

Plants de mangrove, Port Salut, Département du Sud, Haïti
Le PNUE travaille avec des partenaires locaux pour conserver et restaurer les forêts de mangroves, et les écosystèmes côtiers qui y sont liés, tout en prônant la gestion durable des ressources du littoral. Les mangroves contribuent en effet à la résilience de la côte en assurant la protection contre les tempêtes et en offrant un abris aux espèces de poisson, si cruciales pour le commerce.
Dans cette embouchure de fleuve à Port Salut, les mangroves avaient été coupées pour obtenir du bois de chauffage. Dans le cadre de son programme de réduction des risques de catastrophes, le PNUE effectue actuellement des opérations de plantation de mangroves afin de protéger le littoral du Département du Sud.

La partie la mieux conservée des ruines est de style gothique et date vraisemblablement de la fin du XIIIe-début du XIVe siècle, Elle relève peut-être de la campagne de reconstruction consécutive au saccage anglais de 1294. L'église est à nef unique de deux travées, dont les voûtes sur croisée d'ogives se sont effondrées. Cependant les murs gouttereaux et la façade occidentale sont presque intacts.
La nef s'ouvre sur un transept dont les deux croisillons présentaient chacun de petites chapelles rectangulaires orientées, dont ne restent que les fondations, relativement épierrées. Dans le prolongement de la nef et du transept se dresse le chœur, d'une travée autrefois voûtée sur croisée d'ogives dont ne restent que les arrachements sur les murs, renforcés à leur extrémité par des maçonneries plus récentes. Le mur oriental est percé d'une immense baie privée de son remplage, depuis longtemps disparu. Cette partie date vraisemblablement du XVe siècle et de reconstructions après la guerre de Cent Ans), et donc postérieure au reste de l'édifice.
Il ne reste pratiquement plus rien des anciens locaux conventuels, plusieurs fois détruits et finalement démantelés au XVIIe siècle pour construire le fort de la Prée situé plus loin. Le carré du cloître, au nord de l'église, est cependant visible, le mur-bahut le délimitant autrefois ayant été rétabli, de même que le dallage des galeries avec un petit jardin en son centre. De la salle capitulaire, située contre le croisillon nord du transept et jouxtant la sacristie, ne subsistent, tout comme cette dernière, que des murs arasés et un sol épierré. Au nord du cloître s'élevait le réfectoire dont il ne reste qu'un pan de mur présentant encore trois anciens chapiteaux et départs de voûte, dans le même style que celui de l'abbatiale. C'est d'ailleurs le seul vestige en élévation des bâtiments claustraux.
Les éléments mis au jour lors des fouilles archéologiques sont visibles à la Maison du Platin à La Flotte, à proximité immédiate du port, sur le front de mer (cf. wikipédia).

Lady Constantia and her infant son John lie in marble, the babe in the mother’s arms, with one of its hands up to her face. With her right arm the mother gathers up the fold of the mantle she is wearing over her simple gown, which is fastened at the throat with a round brooch. Her hair is in plaited braids and on her head, which rests on a lion for a pillow, is a coronet telling of her high estate. Her feet rest on what appears to be a crouching dog.
Despite the absence of contemporary records relating to a lady named Constantia, a church guide claims rather fancifully that the woman commemorated is Constance ‘FitzHenry’, illegitimate daughter of King Henry I by one of his many mistresses, and ultimately the 23rd grandmother of the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
Nowadays conserving money and using cash wisely is more important than it ever has actually been in the past. With the existing financial climate and the skepticism of simply exactly what the future holds, recognizing exactly how cash and finance job is essential. For thus reason, youngsters need to begin discovering regarding financial institutions from an early age which is why checking account for children are so important.
De petite taille, gothique, mais remarquablement conservée, la chapelle porte la date de 1484. Edifiée par Jean Geliot, né à Laives, curé de Touches (Mercurey), elle est dédiée aux défunts de sa famille et à Notre-Dame de Confort.
A l'extérieur,elle présente deux bas reliefs sculptés, la statue de St Fiacre, une porte en chêne de style gothique flamboyant d'origine, une baie à remplages en parfait état.
A l'intérieur, sont à découvrir, deux fresques murales (messe de Saint Grégoire et présentation du donateur), quatre piliers polychromes présentant les symboles de la Passion du Christ, une clé de voûte avec le couronnement de la Vierge, un retable de pierre polychrome montrant aussi les scènes de la Passion, une tapisserie murale peinte dite aux "mille fleurs" et une litre(Une litre funéraire ou litre seigneuriale ou litre funèbre (emprunt au latin médiéval lista, « bordure »), ou encore ceinture funèbre ou ceinture de deuil était, sous l’Ancien Régime, une bande noire posée à l'intérieur et parfois même à l'extérieur d'une église pour honorer un défunt), la statue d'un Christ aux liens...
L’intérieur, de la période Renaissance, est richement décoré de fresques et de peintures religieuses traditionnelles de l’époque. Les symboles de la passion du Christ sont omniprésents dans le décor. Situées de part et d’autre du vitrail, les fresques ont été restaurées en 1992 par Hisao Takahski. On découvre, à gauche, la messe de saint Grégoire ; à droite, la présentation de Jean Geliot par saint Étienne agenouillé devant un autel, en contemplation. Au-dessus de chaque peinture, un angelot sur un piédestal joue de la trompette. Un second, assis, déroule un phylactère. On peut apercevoir la mention en lettres gothiques "Vincit qui patitur" (Qui soulage les souffrants) en hommage à Notre Dame de Bon Secours.
Quant à la voûte, elle est bâtie sur une seule croisée d’ogives reliées par une clé de voûte présentant l’Assomption de la Vierge entourée de douze têtes d’anges. Les arrêtes sont peintes en deuil (noir et blanc) ainsi que les motifs des plafonds. Les arrêtes de la croisée d’ogives reposent sur quatre chapiteaux sculptés d’anges polychromes aux ailes déployées tenant les instruments de la Passion : la couronne d’épines, la croix, le fouet, la lance et les clous.

Berline brésilienne, Paris, 1727
Il s'agit de la plus ancienne voiture issue des ateliers de carrosserie parisiens conservée dans les collections publiques françaises. Elle a été commandée par le roi Jean V de Portugal (1707-1750), protecteur des arts et des sciences.
Construite entre 1725 et 1729, elle était attachée à la personne du Roi puis à celle de l'Empereur du Brésil.La berline traverse, en effet, l'océan vers le Brésil avec la famille royale portugaise en 1808, puis revient en Europe après la chute de l'empire brésilien, le 17 novembre 1889. Elle rejoint la Normandie vers 1905, à la suite de l'achat du château d'Eu par le comte et la comtesse d'Eu.
Quelques années après la naissance de l'empire brésilien en 1822, une nouvelle décoration d'inspiration néoclassique sur fond d'or est confié à l'artiste Francisco Pedro de Amaral (1790-1830), probablement pour le mariage de l'empereur Pedro 1er . La berline témoigne ainsi des fastes du jeune empire brésilien.
Les mines d'or et de diamants récemment découvertes au Brésil, colonie portugaise, lui permettent de rivaliser en magnificence avec la cour de France.
Conserved remains of a gothique castle, founded in early 14th Century. It stood on the rebel side in the Hussite side, but its owner switched sides in the last phase of the conflict, and the castle was unsuccesfuly besieged by Hussites in 1434. The owning lord is mentioned a few weeks later as one of the knights, who decided the battle of Lipany, in which the Hussites were definitely crushed. The castle was used together with a newly built baroque manor until 1621, when both were plundered and burned down by imperial soldiers. The manor was quickly restored, but the castle was abandoned, and parts of it were systematically demolished, after the whole county was sold to a enterpreneur. When his son, after he inherited the castle, is elevated to a noble in 1865, he sees himslef to be a successor to the knight tradition of the castle, stops its destruction and begins conservation efforts. In the communist era the ruin was statically conserved in the then-typical way, which was not the most sensitive, it was returned together with the manor to their last owners in 1990ies, and is freely accessible today, with deep cellars and tight tunnels undergrounds.
