On néglige souvent des êtres vivants auxquel on devrait faire plus attention. Il n'y pas que les plantes á grande fleurs, impressionantes ou avec un potentiel ornemental, qui méritent d'être étudiées et conservées. Ce Microchilus sp. á petites fleurs a attiré mon regard avec sa couleur bronze originale. In situ dans le département du Valle del Cauca dans la Colombie méga diversifiée.
We often overlook living beings worth paying attention to. Not just big, impressive plants and flowers or with an ornamental potential, deserve being studied and conserved. This small flowered Microchilus sp. caught my eye with its original bronzy color. In situ in Valle del Cauca department in the mega diverse Colombia.

You should know that it is not the original works that are exhibited at the Jheronimus Bosch Art Center but high quality photos in the original size of the work framed optimally. You can manipulate the triptychs.
In 2016, there was a big exhibition that had a lot of success with the original works at the Noordbrabants museum which adjoins the Stedelijk museum, but you could hardly get close and the cameras were forbidden.
The original of this painting is kept in the academy of arts in Vienne.

NEW JERSEY 2017 BALD EAGLE PROJECT REPORT
ANOTHER PRODUCTIVE YEAR FOR NJ’S EAGLES
by Larissa Smith, CWF Wildlife Biologist
The Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ in partnership with the NJ Endangered and Nongame Species Program has released the 2017 NJ Bald Eagle Project Report. In 2017, 178 eagle nests were monitored during the nesting season. Of these nests 153 were active (with eggs) and 25 were territorial or housekeeping pairs. One hundred and ninety young were fledged.
In 2017 the number of active nests was three more than in 2016, but the number young fledged decreased by 27 from a record high of 216 fledged in 2016. The productivity rate this season of 1.25 young/active nest is still above the required range of 0.0 to 1.1 for population maintenance. Productivity could be lower this season for many reasons including weather, predation and disturbance to the nesting area. In 2017 nest monitors reported several instances of “intruder” eagles at nests which did disrupt the nesting attempts of several pairs. One of these “eagle dramas” unfolded at the Duke Farms eagle cam watched by millions of people. An intruder female attempted to replace the current female. This harassment interrupted the pairs bonding and copulation and no eggs were laid.
This year’s report includes a section on Resightings of banded eagles. Resightings of NJ (green) banded eagles have increased over the years, as well as eagles seen in NJ that were banded in other states. These resightings are important, as they help us to understand eagle movements during the years between fledging and settling into a territory, as well as adult birds at a nest site.

This panel is from Bay 28c of Chartres Cathedral, a small crucifixion window dating to the 13th century. The design centers on Christ on the cross, flanked by Mary and John the Evangelist, while at the foot of the cross, a circular medallion vividly portrays Adam and Eve emerging from the tomb, signifying the defeat of original sin through Christ’s sacrifice.
Bay 28c sits within the south ambulatory as part of the Zodiac and Life of the Virgin grouping (Bay 28). The window was commissioned by Thibaut VI, Count of Chartres, together with the vintners’ guild, around 1217–1220—the same patrons responsible for the adjacent windows. This crucifixion panel underwent careful restoration in the early 20th century by Gaudin, and was later conserved by Jean Mauret’s studio in the 1990s, preserving its vivid jewel-toned palette and ensuring the narrative clarity of the Christus-redemptor motif.
A conserved area of traditional houses. These houses are occupied by bars, restaurants, and offices of small professional business.

I put my camera in JPEG to conserve space on the memory card as I shot candid family images, and forgot to pput it back in RAW before shooting landscape images of the morning light and incoming weather over the ocean....I only added contrast, clarity and sharpening, these colors were rendered from the JPEG file and the scenery itself. The gulf coast is amazing!

SPOTLIGHT ON THE BALD EAGLE’S ALL-AMERICAN COMEBACK IN NEW JERSEY
by Lindsay McNamara, Communications Manager
June 20th 2016
In 1985 — just 31 years ago — a single bald eagle nest remained in the state of New Jersey. In 2015, CWF and partners monitored 161 nests throughout the Garden State. Just this year (as of June 20, 2016), over 50 young eagles have already fledged from their nests! What sparked this All-American comeback of the United States’ National Bird?
DDT use was banned in the United States in 1972. That ban combined with restoration efforts by biologists within the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife’s Endangered and Nongame Species Program (ENSP) resulted in 25 bald eagle pairs by 2000.
In 2017 the number of New Jersey active bald eagle pairs was 170.

Bayside Parklands' central section of foreshore parks beside Moreton Bay connects the mangroves in the north with the southern bushland and creeks. Moreton Bay Marine Park begins at the high watermark. These foreshore parks conserve some of the Bay's remaining coastal habitats and provide many waterside recreational opportunities. Many migratory wading birds and shorebirds visit Moreton Bay each summer. The migratory birds are protected under the JAMBA (Japan-Australia Migratory Bird Agreements) and CAMBA (China-Australia Migratory Bird Agreements) international conservation agreements.
Mangroves firing the Parklands northern shores and the tidal banks of Lota and Tingalpa Creeks in the south. Fish, prawns, and crabs spawn and shelter in the mangroves. These marine nurseries form the ecological basis of Moreton Bay's commercial and recreational fishery. Each hectare of mangroves is estimated to produce over $8000 of marketable fish alone each year. The mangroves shelter and an amazing variety of birds. Ibis, spoonbills, and egrets feed on tiny plants and animals in the mud. Insect-eating birds - gerygones, flycatchers, and whistles feed in the mangrove branches.
The southern bushlands connect wildlife corridors along Lota and Tingalpa Creeks. These bushland are important fauna and flora habitats protecting a number of rare and endangered species. Powerful Owls have been seen here. Lota Creek opens into melaleuca swamps and freshwater lagoons before emptying into Moreton Bay. These creeks are habitats abound with wildlife sheltering frogs, lizards, birds of prey, wallabies, and wading birds. The southernmost bushlands are open forests with woodlands and coastal ??? and are a known habitat for koalas. In late winter and spring the heath wildflowers burst into bloom.

Apparently it was 'National Oreo Cookie Day' yesterday so I had planned to do it then. Unfortunately we only had a couple of pints left because, due to COVID-19, people have been panic buying milk. To conserve the milk we did have, this is two images stitched together. The first image was an Oreo dropping into an empty glass and the second was the Oreo dropping into the milk. Right I'm off to go clean this mess up. See you all tomorrow!
The Jebel Akhdar, Jabal Akhdar or Al Jabal Al Akhdar (Arabic: الجبل الأخضر meaning The Green Mountain), is part of the Al Hajar Mountains range in Oman, which extends about 300 km (186 mi) northwest to southeast, between 50–100 km (31–62 mi) inland from the Gulf of Oman coast. It is one of Oman’s most spectacular areas. The highest point, Jabal Shams (the mountain of the sun), is around 3,000 metres (around 9,800 feet) high. It is the highest point in Oman and the whole of eastern Arabia. It comprises the central section of the Al Hajar Mountains range, and is located around 150 km (93 mi) from Muscat.
Terraces of Jebal Akhdar
The range is mostly desert, but at higher altitudes it receives around 300 mm (12 in) of precipitation annually, moist enough to allow the growth of shrubs and trees and support agriculture. It is this that gives the mountains their 'green' name.[1] Cool summers provide the visitor with fresh air surrounded by breathtaking stones. The area is about 2 hours drive from Nizwa and is famous for its traditional rose water extraction and agricultural products including pomegranate, apricot, peach and walnut. The Jebel is mostly inhabited by the ancient Arab tribe Bani Riyam (al Riyamy). Most descendants of the tribe are now in nearby towns such as Nizwa and Izki; some inhabit Ibra.
The Jebel Akhdar was the scene for a conflict between Omani forces loyal to the Sultan of Oman (aided by British soldiers including the Special Air Service) and Saudi Arabian backed rebel forces of the inland Imamate of Oman between 1957 and 1959. This conflict is known as the Jebel Akhdar War.
In August 2011, Sultan Qaboos designated Jebel Akhdar a nature reserve in a bid to conserve its unique yet fragile biodiversity. A decree issued by the Royal Court established the ‘Jebel Akhdar Sanctuary for Natural Sceneries’.

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

Krak des Chevaliers - Crusader castle - one of the most important preserved medieval castles in the world. The site was first inhabited in the 11th century by a settlement of Kurds; as a result it was known as Hisn al Akrad, meaning the Castle of the Kurds;. In 1142 given by Raymond II, Count of Tripoli, to the Knights Hospitaller.
Due to an earthquake in 1157, followed by another one in 1170, the castle was restored and enlarged,
It remained in their possession until it fell in 1271.
after a siege lasting 36 days, supposedly by way of a forged letter purportedly from the Hospitallers' Grand Master that caused the Knights to surrender.
It became known as Crac de l'Ospital; the name Krak des Chevaliers was coined in the 19th century.

L'ÉGLISE ET LES RELIQUES
TOUTE DE BRIQUE
A l'extérieur, le visage massif et austère de l'architecture. A l'intérieur, des colonnes fines qui montent à 28 mètres de hauteur, pour composer des palmiers de pierre.
L'unité apparente de l'église est le fruit paradoxal d'hésitations architecturales, d'évolutions liturgiques et de difficultés de financement.
De 1230 à 1234, les Frères prêcheurs bâtissent une église rectangulaire, moitié moins haute et moitié moins longue que l'église actuelle. Très sobre pour respecter l'idéal de pauvreté de cet ordre mendiant, elle comprend une nef au nord réservée aux Frères et une nef au sud pour les fidèles venus entendre leurs prédications. Ces deux espaces sont séparés par des piliers et des cloisons. Les fidèles entrent par le portail ouest, un des plus anciens vestiges du couvent.
Devant le succès des prédications, l'église est allongée entre 1245 et 1252, avec la construction d'un vaste chœur bordé de chapelles.
Une solution architecturale spectaculaire : le palmier
De 1275 à 1292, le chœur est surélevé et voûté. Après quelques tâtonnements, une solution technique inédite est imaginée pour voûter cet espace : une colonne plus large que les autres, couronnée de 22 nervures, impose sa structure définitive à l'église. C'est le fameux « palmier », que Paul Claudel évoquait ainsi en 1951 : « Un pilier unique d'où s'échappe de tous côtés un torrent de nervures, une chevelure de directions, une ascension de palmes, qui ne s'élèvent que pour retomber circulairement, comme succombant au fruit. »
A la fin du XIIIème siècle, l'église des Jacobins présente une curieuse juxtaposition : la nef est près de 15 mètres inférieure au nouveau chœur ! Elle sera surélevée à partir de 1323. L'ancienne couverture charpentée est remplacée par une voûte qui prolonge celle du chœur.
Une église pour accueillir et diffuser la lumière
La lumière entre par vingt grandes fenêtres surmontées par une ouverture ronde, en forme d'œil. Deux rosaces trouent également la façade occidentale. Les vitraux médiévaux ont été déposés en 1816. Les baies ont été murées, puis rouvertes au XXème siècle. C'est le maître verrier Max Ingrand qui réalise les vitraux du chœur de 1951 à 1964. Les vitraux de la partie est sont réalisés par Emile Ader entre 1923 et 1928. Leurs reflets changeants, à dominante bleue à l'est et rouge à l'ouest, font chatoyer l'église à toute heure.
Les reliques de saint Thomas d'Aquin conservées sous l'autel.
Les reliques du dominicain Thomas d'Aquin (1225-1274), théologien et philosophe, sont conservées sous l'autel majeur. Dans la tradition catholique, les restes physiques du corps - reliques - ou du vêtement d'un personnage illustre sont conservés dans un monument particulier. Exécuté avec des matériaux précieux, le reliquaire de Thomas d'Aquin rappelle le volume d'une église.
Deux autres reliquaires précieux ont été installés à proximité. Le premier, créé à Toulouse en 1852, est en bois argenté et doré. C'est une chapelle néo-gothique qui permettait de conserver le crâne du saint. Il a été réalisé à l'initiative de l'archevêque de Toulouse, du clergé de Saint-Sernin et du chevalier du Mège durant la restauration des cryptes de la basilique.
Le deuxième reliquaire a été commandé en 1874, après les fêtes du VIe centenaire de la mort de saint Thomas. Sa forme évoque aussi une église gothique. Les médaillons sur les côtés rappellent les moments de la vie de saint Thomas. L'œuvre a été conçue par Joseph Favier, orfèvre à Paris. C'est un monument en bronze doré, émaux et pierreries qui conservait les reliques du corps du saint.
Italien / Piemont - Cannobio
Cannobio is a town and comune on the river Cannobino and the shore of Lago Maggiore in Piedmont, Italy.
History
The local inhabitants probably became subject to Roman rule by the time of the emperor Augustus. Sarcophagi from the 2nd–3rd century CE have been found and conserved in the "Palazzo della Ragione".
The first documented mention of Cannobio dates to 909. During medieval times, the town became a center for wool and tanning industries, as well as the lumber trade. Cannobio was named as a village by 1207, and was granted administrative autonomy. The Palazzo della Ragione was constructed by 1291 under the government of the podestà Ugolino da Mandello.
Cannobio was assigned to the archdiocese of Milan and from 1817 was under the authority of the bishop of Novara. Its "pieve" comprised the areas of Cannobina, Cannero, Brissago and several areas on the eastern side of the lake. The church of St. Vittore, already present in 1076, and with a bell tower from the 13th century, was completely rebuilt between 1733 and 1749. Autonomous rule for the community of Cannobio and its valley came about in 1342, with the spontaneous submission to Luchino and Giovanni Visconti, lords of Milan. From then on, its administration remained closely connected to that of the Duchy of Milan.
In 1522 a painting of the Virgin Mary allegedly started bleeding. Shortly after this apparition, a plague swept through the area devastating lakeside and valley towns and villages, but leaving Cannobio relatively unscathed. Religious minds linked these two events and Cardinal Charles Borromeo ordered a chapel to be built to hold the painting which is still there today.
The economy went through a renewal in the 15th and 16th centuries. The built-up area spread from the original nucleus (the village) down towards the lake. Large residences were built including the Omacini and Pironi palaces.
During the Risorgimento the town repelled an Austrian attack from the lake (27–28 May 1859) and was visited by Giuseppe Garibaldi in 1862. The opening of the lakeside road to the Swiss border in 1863 created favorable conditions for the arrival of factories, including silk mills.
In 1927 the territory of the comune of Cannobio was extended to incorporate some small villages in the vicinity (Traffiume, Sant’Agata, San Bartolomeo). During the Second World War the people of Cannobio rose up against the Nazi and fascist regime, from 2 to 9 September 1944, and proclaimed the Republic of the Ossola. Since the end of the war the community has undergone further changes. From 1995 the town has come within the Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola.
Main sights
The large lakefront piazza named after King Victor Emmanuel III was given a major refurbishment when in the winter of 2003–04 it was completely relaid in cobblestones and granite slabs. Also added was of a set of wide flagstone steps down to the lake, where people may sit and watch the lake steamers come and go from the landing stages nearby, and the sailing boats and wind-surfers skimming across the lake.
Some of the buildings both on the lakefront and further back in the old part of town date back over 600 years, from when Cannobio was a renowned smuggling town, and most of these have been restored in fine style.
From one, Giuseppe Garibaldi addressed the people of Cannobio in 1859, and on another stands a plaque celebrating an important event in Cannobio in 1627. Each building is painted a different colour, creating a traditional Italian port scene. To one side of the Piazza is Cannobio’s old harbour, which houses the sailing, rowing and speedboats belonging to the locals.
The Santuario della Pietà church commemorates the events of 1522, when a painting of the Virgin Mary was believed to have bled. With its open dome it stands by the lakeside. The painting itself is now housed in another church in the town, and though it is not removed itself, a "Sacra Costa", representing the painting, is processed through the streets on 7 January every year.
Cannobio has its own "Lido" at the north end of town with a large sandy beach. The beach has a European Union Blue Flag for its cleanliness and facilities.

Cannobio (nicht zu verwechseln mit Canobbio in der Schweiz) ist eine italienische Gemeinde in der Provinz Verbano-Cusio-Ossola (VB) in der Region Piemont und ist Träger der Bandiera Arancione des TCI.
Geographie
Die Gemeinde liegt am westlichen Ufer des Lago Maggiore und ist die erste größere Ortschaft nach der Grenze zur Schweiz in Piaggio Valmara. Cannobio liegt auf dem Schwemmkegel des Flüsschens Cannobino, im Hinterland dehnt sich das Valle Cannobina aus.
Die Gemeinde umfasst eine Fläche von 52,53 km². Zu Cannobio gehören die Fraktionen Campeglio, Carmine Superiore, Carmine Inferiore, Cinzago, Formine, Marchile, Piaggio Valmara, Pianoni, Ronco, Sant’Agata, San Bartolomeo Valmara, Socraggio, Socragno und Traffiume.
Geschichte
Cannobio war vermutlich schon in vorrömischer Zeit besiedelt. Der Name geht zurück auf das römische Canobinum. Zur Römerzeit galt der Ort wegen seiner günstigen Lage als bedeutendes strategisches und wirtschaftliches Zentrum.
929 beherbergte die Ortschaft einen Königshof (curtis regia). Die Anlage wurde später den Erzbischöfen von Mailand unterstellt. 1207 erhielt Cannobio den Titel eines Borgo.
Im 12. Jahrhundert wurde die Stadt eine freie Kommune, bis sie sich 1342 freiwillig der Familie Visconti unterwarf, deren Herrschaft 1441 als Lehensherrschaft an Vitaliano Borromeo überging. Von dieser Epoche zeugen bis heute die zwischen dem 14. und 19. Jahrhundert erbauten Paläste.
Sehenswürdigkeiten
Cannobio besitzt einen historischen Stadtkern und ist ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel.
Die Pfarrkirche San Vittore mit romanischem Turm wurde im 17. Jahrhundert erbaut, die Eingangsfassade stammt aus dem Jahr 1842. Sie beherbergt eine Orgel von Luigi Maroni Biroldi aus Varese aus dem Jahr 1837.
Die Wallfahrtskirche Santissima Pietà wurde 1575–1614 erbaut, dann 1583 von Sankt Karl Borromäus nach einem Entwurf von Pietro Beretta aus Brissago TI wieder aufgebaut. Die Fassade ist das Ergebnis einer Rekonstruktion von Febo Bottini von 1909. Das Innere besteht aus einem einzigen Schiff mit einer üppigen barocken Dekoration. Über dem Altar befindet sich ein wertvolles Altarbild Aufstieg zum Kalvarienberg von Gaudenzio Ferrari und Giovan Battista della Cerva.
Das Oratorium Santa Marta wurde 1581 erbaut und zeigt über dem Hochaltar das Gemälde Madonna col Bambino des Malers Camillo Procaccini (* 3. März 1561 in Parma; † 21. August 1629 in Mailand).
Der Palazzo della Ragione, genannt Parrasio, wurde zwischen 1291 und 1294 vom Podestà Ugolino Mandello erbaut und im Laufe des 17. Jahrhunderts umgebaut.
Der städtische Turm in romanischer Bauweise stammt aus dem 12. Jahrhundert. Es ist aus Stein gebaut und ist eigentlich der Glockenturm der alten Kirche San Vittore.
Die Rocca Vitaliana ist als die Burgen von Cannero bekannt. Auf den Felseninseln, die aus dem Wasser des Sees hervorgehen, kann man die Ruinen alter Festungsanlagen sehen. Sie wurden zwischen dem 11. und 12. Jahrhundert gebaut.

The Luisenpark is a municipal park in Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is located on the left bank of the Neckar river and has an area of 41 hectares. The lower Luisenpark (Unterer Luisenpark) is the oldest part which is conserved as a historic garden. The upper Luisenpark (Oberer Luisenpark) includes various attractions, such as a greenhouse, an arboretum, a Chinese garden, "gondoletta" boats, and a variety of facilities for children.
The Musée des Augustins de Toulouse is a fine arts museum in Toulouse, France which conserves a collection of sculpture and paintings from the Middle Ages to the early 20th century. The paintings are from throughout France, the sculptures representing Occitan culture of the region with a particularly rich assemblage of Romanesque sculpture. The building in which the museum is sited was built in 1309 in the Gothic style and prior to the French Revolution housed Toulouse's Augustinian convent. The convent was secularized in 1793 and first opened to the public as a museum on 27 August 1795 by decree of the French Convention, very shortly after the opening of the Louvre, making it one of the oldest museums in France after the Louvre and the Musée des Beaux Arts in Besançon. It at first housed the Muséum Provisoire du Midi de la République and the école des Beaux-Arts. The Musée des Augustins de Toulouse was one of fifteen museums founded in provincial centres, by a decree of 13 Fructidor year IX (31 August 1801), which was promulgated by the minister of the interior, Jean-Antoine Chaptal (Arrêté Chaptal du 14 fructidor an IX). At the start of the 19th century several medieval buildings (notably the refectory) were demolished and in their place Viollet-le-Duc and his pupil Darcy put up new exhibition galleries, accessed by a Gothic Revival monumental stair offering an interplay of richly complicated vaulting systems. The works continued from 1873 to 1901, when the museum reopened. In effect, Toulouse commissioned Urbain Vitry to ensure remove all the convent's religious characteristics. The archaeologist Alexandre Du Mège occupied the cloister and rebuilt it to be able to house the medieval collections gathered from Toulouse's destroyed religious buildings such as the basilique Saint-Sernin. Today the cloister houses a reconstructed medieval garden. The building was classed as a Monument historique in 1840. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musée_des_Augustins
2018 NJ BALD EAGLE PROJECT REPORT
by: Larissa Smith, CWF Wildlife Biologist
The Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ in partnership with the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife, Endangered and Nongame Species Program, has released the 2018 NJ Bald Eagle Project Report.
“Two hundred-four nest sites were monitored during the nesting season, of which 185 were documented to be active (with eggs) and 19 were territorial or housekeeping pairs. Thirty new eagle pairs were found this season, 20 in the south, nine in central and one in the north. One hundred-twenty-one nests (66%) of the 182 known-outcome nests produced 172 young, for a productivity rate of 0.94 young per active/known-outcome nest. The failure rate was well above average with 61 nests (33%) failing to produce. The Delaware Bay region remained the state’s eagle stronghold, with roughly half of nests located in Cumberland and Salem counties and the bayside of Cape May County.”
The number of active nests has increased while the number of young eagles fledged has decreased since a high of 216 young fledged in 2016. During the 2018 eagle nesting season there was an abundance of cold, wet, windy and snowy weather which was the cause for a portion of the nest failures. As the eagle population increases, there are more eagles competing for territories. This can also be a contributing factor in nest failures. NJ is still in the range of 0.9 to 1.1 young per nest which is needed for population maintenance with a productivity rate of 0.94 young per known-outcome/active nest in 2018. The 2018 NJ Eagle Project Report has all the details on the project including telemetry, re-sightings and recoveries.
The success of the eagle project is due to the tremendous dedication of the NJ Eagle Project Volunteers. They monitor the nests in all types of conditions and education people about the eagles with enthusiasm.

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

One of the most typical places of Cesenatico is the Piazzetta delle Conserve (The "Conserve" Square). An important renewal in the 80's has faithfully kept the old urban context of the square.
Known in the Adriatic seaside since the 1500, the first documents that mention the "conserve" - also called ghiacciae (iceboxes) - date from the 18th Century. These are structures of great importance to the economy of coastal cities and the the Marine Civilization of the Adriatic, since they were used for the preservation of foodstuffs, particularly fish.
Even if it is difficult to go back to the exact location of the "conserve" in Cesenatico, we know about a change of location of all the "iceboxes" to a sandy area called "il Monte", located on the east side of the canal.
The importance of the fish market as the main source of income for Cesenatico is clear by the number of "conserve" at the end of the 19th Century, when around twenty existed. They were used up to the first quarter of the 1900, until the installation of the first artificial ice factory between 1929 and 1930 meant that the traditional "conserve" were abandoned.
The "conserve" of Cesenatico are cone-shaped holes made of bricks, dug in the ground such as a well, 8 meters wide and 5 to 6 meters deep. They grow a little above the ground level with a round parapet, the hole being covered by bricks isolating the exterior by means of layers of straw, sand, wood roof and sometimes with a doubled door, to avoid the hot air coming in.
Fish and food were placed carefully inside the "conserve", alternated with layers of ice or compacted snow, assuring the preservation by means of freezing, a more modern method compared to the salting technique of meat and fish. The ice and snow usually came from the neighbouring hills or from the Apennines' region, transported on carts and gathered in appropriate tanks or canals. Some "conserve" were also used to collect ice, allowing fishermen to take the ice collected inside the "conserve" to their boats, and put it in the boxes with the fresh fish they had just fished and then put for sale. From the three remaining "conserve" of Cesenatico today, one is covered.
The Piazzetta delle Conserve, due to its central location in the old town of Cesenatico, has today acquired an important role in the social life, in the tourism and economy of the city. Continuing the traditional trade of old times, everyday in the morning the Farmer's Market takes place, selling fruit and vegetables from the local farms.
During summer the Flea's Market takes place, a display of arts and crafts, antiques and modern objects of art, while on Mondays the square becomes an open air place for entertainment with its Notturni alle Conserve evenings dedicated to classical music.

They need more sleep than most animals because eucalyptus leaves contain toxins and are very low in nutrition and high in fibrous matter so they take a large amount of energy to digest.

SPOTLIGHT ON THE BALD EAGLE’S ALL-AMERICAN COMEBACK IN NEW JERSEY
by Lindsay McNamara, Communications Manager
June 20th 2016
In 1985 — just 31 years ago — a single bald eagle nest remained in the state of New Jersey. In 2015, CWF and partners monitored 161 nests throughout the Garden State. Just this year (as of June 20, 2016), over 50 young eagles have already fledged from their nests! What sparked this All-American comeback of the United States’ National Bird?
DDT use was banned in the United States in 1972. That ban combined with restoration efforts by biologists within the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife’s Endangered and Nongame Species Program (ENSP) resulted in 25 bald eagle pairs by 2000.
In 2017 the number of New Jersey active bald eagle pairs was 170.

Entre 1836 et 1846, la place est transformée par l'architecte Jacques-Ignace Hittorff qui conserve le principe imaginé par Gabriel. Il ajoute deux fontaines (qui ont l'audace d'être en fonte de fer) monumentales — la Fontaine des Mers et la Fontaine des Fleuves. Les deux fontaines — inaugurées le 1er mai 1840 par le préfet Rambuteau — célèbrent la navigation fluviale (fontaine nord, avec des figures assises représentant le Rhin et le Rhône et les récoltes de raisins et de blé) et la navigation maritime (fontaine sud, avec la Méditerranée, l'Océan et la pêche). Pour la réalisation des statues ornant ces fontaines, l'architecte fera appel à de nombreux artistes : Jean-François-Théodore Gechter, Honoré Jean Aristide Husson, François Lanno, Nicolas Brion, Auguste-Hyacinthe Debay, Antoine Desboeufs, Jean-Jacques Feuchère, Antonin-Marie Moine, Jean-Jacques Elshoecht (dit Carle Elshoecht) et Louis-Parfait Merlieux. Les colonnes rostrales portent des proues de navire, qui évoquent également l'emblème de la Ville de Paris. Les statues allégoriques de huit villes françaises dessinent le contour de l'octogone imaginé par Gabriel. Celle évoquant Strasbourg est drapée de noir à partir de 1871, date du rattachement de l'Alsace-Lorraine à l'Allemagne.
___________________________________
The two fountains in the Place de la Concorde have been the most famous of the fountains built during the time of Louis-Philippe, and came to symbolize the fountains in Paris. They were designed by Jacques-Ignace Hittorff, a student of the Neoclassical designer Charles Percier at the École des Beaux-Arts. The German-born Hittorff had served as the official Architect of Festivals and Ceremonies for the deposed King, and had spent two years studying the architecture and fountains of Italy.
The north fountain was devoted to the Rivers, with allegorical figures representing the Rhone and the Rhine, the arts of the harvesting of flowers and fruits, harvesting and grape growing; and the geniuses of river navigation, industry, and agriculture.
The south fountain, closer to the Seine, represented the seas, with figures representing the Atlantic and the Mediterranean; harvesting coral; harvesting fish; collecting shellfish; collecting pearls; and the geniuses of astronomy, navigation and commerce.
