Cette statue montre Saint Georges, à cheval, alors qu'il tue un dragon pour sauver une princesse. En fait, ceci est une allégorie de la victoire à la bataille de Brunkeberg, en octobre 1471, quand la Suède avait été attaquée par les Danois et les avait vaincus. Le terrassement du dragon est devenu par la suite un symbole de la Suède.
L'original en bois a été sculpté par l'artiste allemand Bernt Notke. La copie de bronze fut réalisée par Otto Meyer.

Cool Globe - "Conserve Water" by Mirjana Ugrinov.
www.coolglobes.org/globe.htm?page=ajaxfiles/globe_34.htm
"What warms the globe as it runs down the drain? The 350 gallons of water that an average American family uses every day. Power plants emitting greenhouse gases go to work every time someone turns on the tap, using electricity to extract, transport, purify, and distribute water. Heating water creates even more globe-warming pollution, with up to 25 percent of a home's energy used to fuel its hot water heater.
To illustrate the importance of water conservation, Mirjana Ugrinov installed a variety of nickel-plated, brass water-saving faucets and handles around her globe. While the fixtures function as decorative elements, their real purpose is to make the viewer think of their own simple ways to conserve, like choosing narrow nozzles. Ugrinov clustered handles over regions that use the most hot and purified water to convey that every drop counts."

My name is Mixie Wandera and I am 21 years old. I live with my parents and my siblings in Kisumu, Kenya. Everyday we encounter something that we wish we could do something about but we do not have the ability to do it.We live in an area called Kanyakwar B next to Mamboleo estate in Kisumu. Everyday when it rains, we encounter this;
This is water that flows from the hill after a night of heavy downpour. It not only flows in the residential area but also along the roadside.
All this water eventually flows into a specific point which is the Lake Basin quarry around the Kanyakwar area where people do mine for rocks and sand used for building.
You can see that there are people living inside the quarry who are actually using the water that recollects at specific points but this water eventually gets polluted and is rendered useless. This leads to wastage.
Instead of putting this water into waste, we can build drainage tunnels that leads to a particular point, in my case I suggest building a reservoir inside the quarry, where this water can help the inhabitants of the surrounding area.
TOGETHER, LETS HELP TO CONSERVE OUR NATURAL RESOURCE WHICH IS WATER!!!

Ces quatre statues d’anges, ainsi que trois autres conservées au musée national du Moyen Âge, ont été découvertes à des dates diverses dans des collections privées. On peut supposer que ces sculptures ornaient le porche du transept de la prieurale dominicaine Saint-Louis à Poissy, fondée par le roi Philippe IV le Bel en l’honneur et sur le lieu de naissance de son grand-père, Louis IX, canonisé en 1297. Parmi les statues conservées, deux anges sonnent la trompette pour annoncer le Jugement dernier, un autre tient les clous de la Crucifixion, d’autres s’apprêtent à distribuer des couronnes aux élus.

La priorale Saint-Louis de Poissy fut fondée par Philippe IV le Bel en mémoire de son grand-père, Louis IX (saint Louis), peu après sa canonisation en 1297. Les deux figures d'anges portent des instruments de la Passion du Christ, la trompette (dont il ne reste qu'une partie) et la couronne d'épines.
Le traitement sensible des silhouettes aux drapés élégants, associant volutes complexes et cassures adoucies, comme celui des visages ronds aux traits menus encadrés de boucles savamment enroulées, est caractéristique de l'art parisien de l'époque de Philippe le Bel. Ce style qui se diffuse au cours du XIVe siècle est parfois dénommé « style courtois ».
Small Stories: At Home in a Dollhouse at the National Building Museum (May 21, 2016 - January 22, 2017)
Small Stories reveals the fascinating tales behind some of London’s Victoria & Albert Museum of Childhood’s best-loved dollhouses, taking you on a journey through the history of the home, everyday lives, and changing family relationships. The exhibition is traveling worldwide with an exclusive U.S. engagement at the National Building Museum beginning in May 2016.
The homes show developments in architecture and design, encompassing country mansions, the Georgian town house, suburban villas, newly-built council estates, and high-rise apartments. Many of the houses, their furniture and dolls have been specially conserved for the exhibition, with around 1,900 objects being restored over two years in the V&A Museum’s conservation department.
During the 17th century, dollhouses were rare, expensive, and handmade by skilled craftsmen often to replicate real residences. Similar to cabinets of curiosities, they were often commissioned by men to demonstrate wealth and status of their households. Some were also used as learning aids for young girls and servants to become acquainted with their household roles. As with real houses, dollhouses have often been redecorated to reflect either contemporary tastes or those of a different age or time period.
Dollhouses slowly developed into toys specifically made for children to collect, decorate, and play with. The industrial revolution opened up the possibility of mass manufacture and houses became a more common and affordable toy for many children.
Small Stories: At Home in a Dollhouse at the National Building Museum (The Only U.S. Venue for Small Stories: At Home in a Dollhouse, organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum of Childhood with generous support from STUDIOS Architecture, the Milton and Dorothy Sarnoff Raymond Foundation, British Council USA, and The Frist Foundation. Additional support provided by Farrow & Ball, XL Catlin, and Henry and Jessica Townsend.)
Focus sur les œuvres Musée Nationaux Récupération (MNR) conservées par le musée des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux
Historique de ces œuvres spoliées :
Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, près de 100 000 biens appartenant principalement à des familles juives, des francs-maçons et des opposants au régime du IIIe Reich furent volés par l’Allemagne nazie. Adolf Hitler confia personnellement la mission de spoliation d’œuvres d’art ou Raubkunst à Otto Kümmel, conservateur des musées nationaux d’Allemagne. L’objectif premier fut de rapatrier toutes les œuvres d’art d’origine allemande créées depuis le XVIe siècle mais l’appétit du gain entraîna la confiscation de collections privées et publiques dans tous les pays annexés par le régime. Ce pillage systématique fut confié à l’ERR ou Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg für die besetzten Gebiete ou l’état-major d’intervention du commandant du Reich Rosenberg pour les territoires occupés.
Le dictateur du régime national-socialiste souhaitait exposer les pièces maîtresses de l’art européen sur le sol allemand dans une perspective de réécriture de l’histoire de l’art conforme à l’idéologie nazie. Pour ce faire, un colossal musée fut prévu à Linz en Autriche, ville où Hitler passa une partie de son enfance. Les plans de ce vaste complexe architectural qui devait se nommer le Führermuseum prévoyaient d’accueillir plus de 4000 tableaux ! Les œuvres pillées non retenues pour le projet de Linz furent transférées dans d’autres collections de musées du régime promouvant déjà l’idéologie fasciste.
En France, en réponse à la profanation culturelle subie pendant l’Occupation, certaines pièces des collections nationales furent évacuées de Paris et cachées dans des domaines du Sud-Ouest du pays. Celles qui furent déjà saisies dans la capitale étaient entreposées par les S.S. dans les salles du Louvre mais l’espace devint rapidement trop étroit et le musée du Jeu de Paume, situé place de la Concorde, fut réquisitionné à son tour par le régime. C’était au sein de cette institution que travaillait alors l’attachée de conservation et résistante, Rose Valland qui fit secrètement un inventaire des collections, suivant la trace de ces œuvres volées et déportées en Allemagne. Son travail inestimable d’identification et de localisation permit de récupérer de nombreux objets d’art après la défaite du IIIe Reich.
Au lendemain de l’Armistice, les œuvres spoliées ainsi que celles acquises sur le marché de l’art entre 1939 et 1945, connues de l’Office des biens et intérêts privés et de la Commission de récupération artistique, furent en grande partie retrouvées. En 1949, sur les 61 233 objets renvoyés en France, plus de 45 441 furent restitués à leurs légitimes propriétaires ou héritiers directs. Toutefois, en dépit de cet important de travail de restitution, plus de 13000 biens ne furent jamais réclamés et furent vendus par l’État français. L’administration ne conserva que 2143 objets spoliés. Ceux-ci furent confiés aux Musées Nationaux, gestionnaires de ces collections et enregistrés dans les inventaires provisoires dits de récupération d’où le sigle MNR ou « Musées nationaux récupération » qui leur est attribué. Exposées dans différents musées de France, les œuvres répertoriées MNR peuvent être, à tout moment, demandées par les ayants-droits, descendants ou héritiers. Sur le plan juridique, défini par le décret du 30 septembre 1949, ces œuvres n’appartiennent pas à l’État qui n’en est que le détenteur provisoire.

Black-winged stilt description
KingdomAnimalia
PhylumChordata
ClassAves
OrderCharadriiformes
FamilyRecurvirostridae
GenusHimantopus (1)
A globally widespread wading bird (3), the black-winged stilt (Himantopus himantopus) is characterised by its extremely long, red legs, white stomach and, true to its name, jet-black wings (4). Its distinctive legs make up around 60 percent of its overall height, providing it with a feeding advantage over other waders in deeper waters (2). Young birds can be distinguished by a dash of dark feathers on the usually white head (4).

Black-winged stilt biology
The diet of the black-winged stilt is variable according to season, but typically comprises aquatic insects, molluscs, crustaceans, spiders, worms, tadpoles, small fish, fish eggs and seeds (3). With its long legs, it can wade into deeper water, where it may be seen snatching insects that hover over the water’s surface, dipping its head below the water to catch small fish, or pulling small worms from the mud (5).
Black-winged stilts residing in northern regions migrate over long distances to reach their southern wintering grounds (3). Although it will often breed in solitude, the black-winged stilt is a typically social bird and can be found in groups of up to a thousand during the winter migration (3).
During breeding, parental investment is high from both male and female birds, with males devoting a significant amount of time to nest building and egg incubation (6). This parental team appears to be monogamous, as while the male stays behind to tend the nest, the foraging female remains faithful (6). The nest is either a depression in hard ground or arranged on a floating mass of vegetation, preferably situated with all-round visibility (3).
Top
Black-winged stilt range
The vast geographical range of the black-winged stilt extends as far as Africa, Europe, Asia and even the United States (3). Its population in 2009 was estimated to be between 450,000 and 780,000, with a massive estimated range of 30,800,000 square kilometres (3).
Black-winged stilt habitat
The black-winged stilt can be found on the shores of large, inland water bodies and estuarine or coastal habitats (3). Its breeding habitat is typically freshwater or brackish (slightly salty) wetlands with a sand, mud or clay bed (3).
Black-winged stilt threats
Due to its large range and abundance, the black-winged stilt does not qualify for a threatened status on the IUCN Red List (1). However, potential threats include future outbreaks of diseases such as avian influenza and avian botulism (3). As with all waterbird species the effects of climate change, particularly the deterioration of wetlands, also pose a possible future threat (7). Migratory waterbirds in particular may be vulnerable due to their dependence on networks of wetlands (8).

Black-winged stilt conservation
The black-winged stilt is among the species included in the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (8) which aims to conserve migratory waterbird species throughout their flyways (8).
Remains of a 13th Century castle in Silesia, one of the guard castles standing in one line through the county along a major trade route. Founded around 1290, after the markgrave wars it became a bandit base in 1402, two Polish nobles who had to escape Poland systematically attacked caravans, and after the Moravian markgrave failed to do anything about this situation, the Polish king invaded with it´s army, and burned the castle down. The castle was fought over by Czech lords for the next twenty years, twice besieged and devastated in 1422, it was soon definitely abandoned. Most of the castle was disassembled for building materials in the 19th Century, the remains were studied and conserved in the 20th Century, covered cellars have been unearthed.

Trader Doc would like to pass on an Energy tip.
During your Fall and Winter season,Bake,not just Sweets but everything you can.
This entire meal was done in a conventional oven.Within moments the heat source quit cycling in and the air smelled wonderful...
I purposely slow(low heat) cook so that it takes less energy and warms the rooms longer.
This meal was not only delicious,and only took one pot to clean,,but it provided heat for more than 2 hours while it cooked and cooled down.
Just a tip from an Old Timer that seems to help.
With Energy high priced, we should all find little ways to conserve.

Cuyahoga Valley National Park conserves and reclaims the rural landscape along the Cuyahoga River between Akron and Cleveland in Northeast Ohio's Cuyahoga and Summit counties.
The 32,572-acre (50.9 square mile) park is administered by the National Park Service, but within its boundaries are areas independently managed as county parks or as public or private businesses. Cuyahoga Valley was originally designated as a National Recreation Area in 1974, then redesignated as a national park 26 years later in 2000, and remains the only national park that originated as a national recreation area.
Cuyahoga Valley is the only national park in the state of Ohio and one of three in the Great Lakes Basin, with Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior and Indiana Dunes National Park bordering Lake Michigan. Cuyahoga Valley also differs from the other national parks in the U.S. in that it is adjacent to two large urban areas and it includes a dense road network, small towns, and public and private attractions.
