Contexte artistique et attribution
Allegretto Nuzi (vers 1315 – 1373) est un peintre italien du gothique international, originaire de Fabriano dans les Marches (centre-Italie). Sa carrière se déroule au milieu du XIVᵉ siècle, avec des passages documentés à Florence où il rencontre l’influence de Giotto et de l’école siennoise, qu’il conjugue avec la tradition des Marches. Son style mêle monumentalité, composition rigoureuse et expressivité des figures, ce qui le place parmi les principaux peintres italiens de son temps en dehors des grands centres artistiques.
La peinture est inventoriée comme attribuée à l’école de Francescuccio Ghissi, mais elle a été anciennement attribuée à Nuzi (sous diverses variantes de nom : Allegretto di Nuzzi, Nucci di Nuzzio), ce qui reflète l’histoire complexe des attributions dans l’Italie du Trecento.
Description matérielle et conservation
Technique : tempera et or sur panneau de bois de peuplier, procédé caractéristique des peintres italiens du Moyen Âge, fondé sur l’usage d’un fond d’or étincelant qui accentue la dimension sacrée du sujet.
Dimensions : environ 1,38 m × 0,99 m.
Histoire du dépôt : l’œuvre provient de la collection Campana à Rome, acquise par le Musée du Louvre en 1863, puis déposée successivement dans plusieurs musées provinciaux avant d’être confiée au Musée du Petit Palais d’Avignon. Elle a été restaurée en 1970.
Sujet et iconographie
Thème principal
La composition représente la Vierge Marie trônant en majesté (« Maestà »), entourée de six anges. Ce type iconographique dérive de la tradition byzantine (la Theotokos vénérée), reprise et recyclée dans l’art occidental médiéval pour affirmer la gloire céleste de Marie et sa place centrale dans l’économie du salut. La figure de la Vierge est souvent magnifiée par un trône élevé et une auréole ou un fond d’or, symbolisant la lumière divine et sa royauté spirituelle.
Les anges...
Les anges sont généralement représentés en attitude d’adoration ou de musique céleste autour de Marie : ce schéma traduit à la fois la hiérarchie céleste et une forme de liturgie picturale : la Vierge, reine du Ciel, est entourée de créatures célestes qui l’honorent par leur présence. L’utilisation de l’or accentue cette dimension lumineuse et mystique, propre à la dévotion médiévale.
Style et langage visuel
Composition
La structure pyramidale classique de l’iconographie de la Maestà est visible : la Vierge au centre, hiérarchiquement plus importante, entourée de figures angéliques qui en accentuent l’autorité divine. L’emploi d’un fond d’or lisse élimine toute perspective narrative et place l’œuvre dans un espace sacré plutôt que terrestre.
Style gothique international
Même si l’attribution précise reste complexe (école de Ghissi / Nuzi), on note une synthèse stylistique :
une ligne sûre et définie des contours, héritée de l’art toscan,
une décoration raffinée des auréoles et du fond, typique du gothique international,
une attention aux plis des vêtements et aux expressions des visages, qui humanisent légèrement les figures sans enlever à la scène son aura sacrée.
Signification et interprétation
Dimension spirituelle
Dans une œuvre de dévotion médiévale comme celle-ci, la représentation de la Vierge de Majesté n’est pas seulement narrative, mais théologique : elle affirme la médiation de Marie entre Dieu et les fidèles, et symbolise l’espérance chrétienne. Les six anges ne sont pas de simples ornements : ils magnifient par leur présence la gloire de Marie, participant à une liturgie visuelle qui invite à la contemplation.
Fonction liturgique
Des tableaux de ce type étaient souvent conçus pour des autels majeurs ou des lieux de culte, en tant que point focal pour la prière des fidèles. La taille du panneau et la richesse des matériaux (or, tempera) en font une pièce adaptée à une liturgie solennelle.
Conclusion
La Vierge de Majesté entourée de six anges est une œuvre emblématique du gothique italien du XIVᵉ siècle, où se mêlent influences toscanes et locales. Que l’on l’attribue à Allegretto Nuzi ou à l’école de Francescuccio Ghissi, elle témoigne de la continuité de l’iconographie de la Maestà et de la manière dont les artistes médiévaux utilisaient la tempéra et l’or pour créer des compositions à la fois sacrées et visuellement puissantes.

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.

Over 5000 years, the farmers of Andean agriculture have dynamically conserved indigenous agricultural knowledges such as landscape management such as terraces, ridges fields, water management including local irrigation systems, soil management and traditional agricultural tools, crops and livestock, which has adapted to the ecosystems of different altitudes ranging from 2,500 to 5,000 m. Social organizations have been the key factor to maintain their own norms and cultural practices for the harmonious and respectful management of their environment and contributes to their food security.
In 2011, the Andean Agriculture of Peru was designated as a GIAHS site for its unique agricultural system, and in 2021, it celebrates its 10th anniversary after designation. As the site continues to conserve its agrobiodiversity and manage landscape through the ancient traditional agriculture, they also face challenges of external influences which do not always consider the cultural and ecological values of their context.

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 .

Here's the only integrated circuit. Judging from the apparent row of programming pins I'd have to say this is a microcontroller, not a 555-style timer.
Perhaps a PIC, I'll have to look and see if I can find a match to the package marking "22KC" or maybe that's "22KO".
Curious what it was made of, the heart would seem to be a 6-pin microcontroller.

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.

What happened to Elsenham Quality Foods? Morello Cherry conserve c 2002
beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/04271891/officers
The company is dormant, bought out by G. Costa in 2001, when the above company was created, Elsenham Quality Foods Ltd
www.just-food.com/news/gcosta-announces-acquisition_id761...
G.Costa announce the acquisition of Elsenham Preserves, Patum Peperium, and Becas. The four brands will be produced in a new factory situated at Elsenham, Hertfordshire (near Stanstead).
The acquisition, which is their first since the management buyout in January 1999 strengthens the portfolio of owned brands which include Blue Dragon, Curry Club and Zest. The company has three manufacturing plants Keddie Sauce Masters, Zest and now Elsenham. Over half of the Costa turnover (£50 million) comes from major international agencies including Tabasco, Amora Maille, Krisprolls, French's and Celestial Tea.
Says Tim Barlow, managing director of G.Costa "The strategy will be firstly to re establish the brands in the UK followed in January 2002 by their development in the Export Market targeting Europe and English speaking countries."

Apparently there is no longer a factory in Elsenham, it is said production has moved to Wales.
“Restoration of the forests on Mount Parnonas and conservation guidelines for Mount Taygetos in Lakonia” (EL0035)
Protecting the environment
Improving the value of our mountains
The Region of Peloponnese hosts important ecosystems, such as this on mountain Taygetos.
The landscape on the mountains is among the most beautiful in Greece, where nature harmoniously blends with traditional architecture and cultural monuments.
This wealth we have the duty to protect. Our policies to conserve forests, nature and biodiversity should put protected areas under a two-fold perspective; on the one hand as a pillar for development and on the other hand as a crucial environmental antidote in the service of our fight against climate change at local and global levels.
The environmental policies should be seen on a new basis that would both ensure ecosystem conservation and promote sustainable development.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES

Προστατεύουμε το Περιβάλλον
Η Περιφέρεια Πελοποννήσου φιλοξενεί σημαντικά οικοσυστήματα, όπως αυτό στην οροσειρά του Ταϋγέτου.
Το τοπίο του Ταϋγέτου είναι από τα πιο όμορφα στην Ελλάδα, όπου η φύση δένει αρμονικά με την παραδοσιακή αρχιτεκτονική και τα πολιτιστικά μνημεία.
Αυτός ο πλούτος έχουμε το καθήκον να τον προστατεύσουμε. Οι πολιτικές μας για τη διατήρηση των δασών, τη φύση και τη βιοποικιλότητα θα πρέπει να θέσει προστατευόμενων περιοχών στο πλαίσιο μιας διττής προοπτικής: Αφενός ως πυλώνα για την ανάπτυξη και από την άλλη πλευρά, ως ζωτικής σημασίας περιβαλλοντικά αντίδοτο στην υπηρεσία του αγώνα μας κατά της κλιματικής αλλαγής σε τοπικό και παγκόσμιο επίπεδο.
Οι περιβαλλοντικές πολιτικές θα πρέπει να εξεταστούν σε νέα βάση που θα εξασφαλίζει τόσο τη διατήρηση των οικοσυστημάτων όσο και την προώθηση της αειφόρου ανάπτυξης.

Los Angeles Air Force Base's 61st Civil Engineering and Logistics Squadron uses drought-tolerant plants and landscaping known as "xeriscaping" to minimize water use as part of Air Force resource conservation efforts. Many xeriscaped areas on the base are only watered once a month or not at all. (U.S. Air Force photo by Sarah Corrice/RELEASED.)
After a brief repose which followed our initial ascent up the Longji terraced fields, our band of three left the hotel to resume again our hiking. To catch the setting sun, we set off for the high western hills that lay directly behind our residence. Another group of ardent Hong Kong tourists joined us on this trek.
Though we neither anticipated such an arduous journey, nor did we bring enough water to satisfy our parched lips, we nonetheless reached the peak of the acclivity without too much ennui to warrant a hasty departure. As if crack troops on the watch, we bunkered down on our hill, affectionately called "47," and from there we waited for the sun's final languid descent into obscurity.
No sooner had we made ourselves quite comfortable, exploring the adjacent mounds and running along the ridge while emoting in our Braveheart impersonations, than we noticed the ominous smoke billowing into the sky from the nearby mountaintops. The concentrated haze, the result of controlled brushfires, we concluded, was moving closer and closer towards us. Eventually, the crackling from the intense combustion of browned and dry foliage, that had been methodically placed on certain declivities, tinged our ears; and the smoke, which had so far been blown away by an easter gale whose ferocity also invited a biting cold to hill 47, at length enveloped our position, compromising our ability to remain there any longer. But by this time thankfully, the meek sun had ambled its way into the opaque distance and with our primary objective met, we gladly capitulated our untenable camp to our fiery nemesis. As the dark blanket of dusk settled on Longji, we swiftly fell back into the dimming wood, eager to return to our lodgings for a hot meal.

Coventry Transport Museum opened in 1980, after it became clear that the road transport collection was outgrowing the space it occupied in the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum. The Museum’s current collection of vehicles is acknowledged as being one of the finest in the world, and the largest in public ownership.
The Museum’s collection consists of motor cars, commercial vehicles, cycles and motorcycles. In addition, extensive collections of automobilia, books, photographs and a wealth of other archive material is held and conserved at the Coventry History Centre at the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum.
Ford Model Y 1936
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".

The Burton Hoard
From: National Museum Cardiff
The Burton hoard is a group of important Bronze Age gold objects including rigs, bracelets and belts. They were uncovered by a group of metal detectorists near Wrexham and is spectacular in its range of middle Bronze Age artefacts. The Burton hoard contains pieces that are unparalleled anywhere else in the UK, including a bracelet with strands of twisted gold and a pendant consisting of a gold bi-conical bead. The quality and type of the jewellery is amazing and suggests a connection with the continent. The objects were buried together inside a pot and dates to the period 1300-1150 BC.

As stated in the movie “Home,” the widespread destruction of plants has severely affected numerous environments and currently poses a threat to biodiversity. Focused on gaining profit, many entrepreneurs and corporations tend to see natural resources as prospective goods. Deeply motivated by economic interests, such companies have the tendencies to ignore environmental concerns and inevitably contribute to the depletion of natural resources and propagate pollution (90). As many of these corporations take interest in several natural resources found abroad, they seek to make concessions with different nations for the right to extract certain plants (191). Due to the high demands of extractions, countless areas of the world are now being deforested. Likewise, these corporations are implementing measures for single crop plantations to be created. The interest in growing oil palm trees over the maintenance of biodiversity was exemplified in the film. As deforestation and the development of one crop plantations are becoming more frequent, ecological systems are continually being disrupted. In response to this ongoing issue, many scientists have been trying to conserve the diversity of plants and other species. This conservation initiative was first promoted by Gifford Pinchot, the founder of the U.S. Forest Service (13). He intended to wisely manage the diversity of natural resources as many species could be used for benefit. Shown above is a picture of water lilies from the Royal Botanic Gardens in London. This institution is likewise dedicated to the conservation of species and their respective habitats. Furthermore, the gardens seek to restore once damaged vegetation and classify useful plants. Although water lilies are not endangered, over exploitation of land and increases in agriculture could hinder the growth of this group of plants. Efforts made by botanical gardens, such as this one, highlight the imperativeness of preventing further ecological damage by protecting species that could be victimized by deforestation.
Palm oil, a widely popular ingredient used for commercial food, personal care products, and biofuel, is a product of palm trees. Popularly produced in Southeast Asia, Africa, and South America, palm oil constitutes as a third of the world’s vegetable oil trade. Indonesia and Malaysia, specifically, are known to be the largest producers in palm oil. Despite the source of income this harvest provides, the cultivation of palm oil has disastrous environmental effects and receives much scrutiny by several international organizations. Such effects include the significant rise in greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, habitat destruction, reduction in biodiversity, and potential climate change. Due its high popularity, the over harvesting of palm oil and the conversion of certain areas into farmlands has detrimentally disrupted certain habitats. With such changes, palms are unable to reproduce as efficiently. Furthermore, alterations to the environment and an increase in monoculture consequently affect biodiversity. Without the presence of a sound diversity, the ecosystems of over exploited species, such as the palm oil, will be severely disturbed. As the Netherlands are known to be the main exporter of palm oil in Europe, the Dutch government and several of its environmental groups are seeking to trace the origins of imported palm oil from Southeast Asia. Wetlands International, a Dutch environmental group, has additionally found that excessive palm harvesting causes global emissions on peatland. An organic sponge that stores large quantities of carbon that beneficially balances global emissions, peat can disastrously release its gases into the atmosphere when drained. This happens from over farming palm. Scientists from Wetlands conclude that Indonesia releases a total of 1.5 billion tons of carbon annually. Essentially, a chain of effect will occur. The overproduction of palm oil will destroy other coexisting species as its need to be harvested dominates the environment. Thus, conservation is necessary as it maintains a healthy environment for both humans and plants.

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).
A trio of South African Railways Class 25NC 4-8-4s alongside the massive coaling stage with its inclined ramp. Left to right are 3442, 3446 & 3438, all built by Henschel of Kassel in 1953. 3446 is blowing off vigorously while the driver of 3438 has just opened the regulator and with the cylinder taps open she is moving away.
Due to the desert conditions on the Great Karoo the Class 25s when built, between 1953 & 55, were fitted with condensing tenders to conserve water. Since the Capetown line was electrified south through Touws River the problem was no longer as serious and most of the condensing engines and tenders were rebuilt by SAR becoming Class 25NC - non-condensing. The tenders, original or cut down, were very long carried on 6 wheel bogies. Having said that these three were actually built originally as 25NC rather than rebuilt as such. Note the "normal" EW1 tender on 3446.

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).
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.
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
Wood-conserving stoves are saving thousands of trees, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and greatly improving women's and children's health in Central America. Utilizing up to 50% less wood as a “traditional” open pit fireplace and reducing the amount of smoke and black carbon in the home, the wood-conserving stoves (or Justa stoves) being implemented by SHI are a radical and healthy change. Traditionally, the walls and roofs of rural homes in Central America would be caked with black soot, while smoke being inhaled by women and children would be the equivalent of smoking 2 to 5 packs of cigarettes per day. Such traditional stoves, notorious for consuming large amounts of wood, are also a main cause of respiratory infections, tuberculosis, eye disease and more. According to the World Health Organization, about 1.6 million deaths around the world were associated with indoor air pollution or the burning of biomass as cooking fuel.
Using a combination of bricks and adobes, the wood conserving stoves being installed by SHI Field Trainers and participants have been known to:
-Cut wood consumption by up to 50%
-Reduce indoor smoke by 90%, thus reducing carbon monoxide and particulate matter
-Save an average of 1.5 tons of carbon emissions per year (according to tests conducted by Trees, Water, People)
