A sign on the big picture windows looking over the Grand River in downtown Grand Rapids has an arrow pointing left (upstream; north) with the description, "sturgeon spawning grounds begin about 1/2 mile up-river."
How different today's scene from a similar April day 200 years ago, before picture windows and steel-frame, multi-story, climate-controlled buildings existed. Now the visitors who have free time to pursue intellectual edification or to indulge in distraction from ordinary routines can climb the staircase and watch video of a large swimming fish (at the left), read printed details of the population crises, and peer into a large fish tank with 2 young juvenile sturgeons. By contrast, in the time before immigrant settlement, lore and experiences with the large ancient fish would be shared among the Native peoples who lived and traded along the big river. Ideas like video recording and a writing system might have baffled many people at the time. And it might seem outlandish to think of the need to carefully conserve the spawning grounds and to regulate harvest, and to research the lives of fish.

Probarona Purnima, October 27, 2015, Dhaka, Bangladesh
Probarona Purnima, the second largest festival of the Buddhist community. Also known as Ashwini Purnima, the festival marks conclusion of the three-month long seclusion of the monks inside their monasteries for self-edification and atonement of their defilement.
According to legend, Buddha once clipped some strands of hair from his head and said that if he was qualified to attain supreme wisdom and enlightenment, the hairs would not fall down but go up instead, which they did.
To mark this event, Buddhists ignited and send up balloons made of coloured paper to flow towards the sky as a symbol of lighting up the sky which is the chief attraction of the festival.

Rossauer Barracks
9th district
The Rossauer Barracks should be together with Franz Joseph's Barracks and the arsenal part of a planned fortress triangle, which should provide protection against internal unrest. On 1 August 1864, ground was broken for the construction of the barracks in the Rossau. Full six years took the edification, and 5 July 1870 the entire area was handed over and the first troops moved. The Barracks underwent several alterations and changes of use over time. During World War II falling bombs destroyed the Danube side infantry officer tract completely, but then it was mostly true to the original rebuilt.
The Rossauer barracks is built in the style of late romantic historicism and recalls the medieval fortress architecture with towers, battlements, attachments and eaves. The equipment of the barracks was already inadequate and doubtful designed in the early days when it came to spatial proportions and sanitation. It was sometimes the story that the architect committed suicide because he had forgotten to install toilets. The barracks offered after their completion accommodation for 2,900 men and 390 horses. Next to it 99 officers flats of different sizes, 43 apartments for married officers, a chapel and office spaces were housed. The building has huge proportions. The length is 269m and width of 136m. In the barracks there are three large courtyards. Due to the proximity to the water, when building a very strong foundation was needed, which is located on about 30,000 pilots. It is worthwhile to make the approximately 850m long walk around the building.

GINKGO BILOBA
(Original von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
Dieses Baums Blatt, der von Osten
Meinem Garten anvertraut,
Gibt geheimen Sinn zu kosten,
Wie's den Wissenden erbaut.
Ist es ein lebendig Wesen,
Das sich in sich selbst getrennt?
Sind es zwei, die sich erlesen,
Dass man sie als eines kennt?
Solche Fragen zu erwidern
Fand ich wohl den rechten Sinn:
Fühlst Du nicht an meinen Liedern,
____
GINKGO BILOBA
The leaf of this Eastern tree
Which has been entrusted to my garden
Offers a feast of secret significance,
For the edification of the initiate.
Is it one living thing
That has become divided within itself?
Are these two who have chosen each other,
So that we know them as one?
I think I have found the right answer
To these questions;
Do my songs not make you feel
That I am both one and twain?
La Escuela Industrial Superior de Valparaíso fue creada el 4 de marzo de 1942 a raíz de la expansión que experimentaban las industrias en la provincia de Valparaíso y los incesantes deseos de los industriales de contar con un plantel especial para la formación de técnicos.
Al informarse que en Valparaíso se estaba creando una escuela de carácter técnico y que uno de los requisitos para postular era haber rendido satisfactoriamente el sexto año de preparatoria, se presentaron al examen de admisión después de inscribirse alrededor de doscientos cincuenta jóvenes cuyas edades fluctuaban entre los doce y catorce años de edad . Rindieron exámenes de Matemática, Castellano e Historia y Geografía.
Fueron seleccionados setenta y dos postulantes. Según sus capacidades expresadas en el examen de admisión, fueron creados dos cursos de preparatoria industrial con treinta y seis alumnos por curso, que comenzaron sus clases el seis de julio de 1948. El establecimiento comenzó a funcionar en tres salas cedidas por el Gabinete de Identificación que funcionaba en el local situado en Avenida Errázuriz 1470, frente a la estación Bellavista y el subterráneo del mismo donde se habilitaron los talleres. Las clases fueron inauguradas solemnemente el 26 de abril de 1948, surgiendo la semilla de la “GRAN ESCUELA INDUSTRIAL SUPERIOR DE VALPARAISO”.
La unidad educativa recién fundada carecía de muchos recursos mobiliarios, pero de todas maneras comenzaron las clases. Aparte de las clases teóricas y de educación física, se fueron adentrando poco a poco en el trabajo de la madera y metal. El taller de mueblería realizaba asambleas bajo la jefatura de JUAN GALAZ. El taller de mecánica era supervisado por el profesor AUGUSTO MODROW GUSTOFF. A los más eficientes estudiantes les dieron trabajos especiales.
La EIV cuenta con 6 especialidades:
Electricidad
Electrónica
Mecánica industrial
Mecánica automotriz
Edificación
Construcciones Metálicas
Cuenta con 2 edificios, el edificio de Viña del Mar que cuenta con más de 30 salas de clases, en él se desarrolla la enseñanza teórica de los alumnos, los ramos de educación general. El edificio de Valparaíso alberga a los Talleres de las respectivas Especialidades, se desarrolla en ellos la parte técnica de la enseñanza de los alumnos.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Higher Industrial School of Valparaíso was created on March 4, 1942 as a result of the expansion experienced by industries in the province of Valparaíso and the incessant desires of industrialists to have a special school for the training of technicians.
When it was reported that a technical school was being created in Valparaíso and that one of the requirements to apply was to have satisfactorily completed the sixth year of high school, around two hundred and fifty young people whose ages fluctuated between twelve and fourteen years old. They took exams in Mathematics, Spanish and History and Geography.
Seventy-two applicants were selected. According to their abilities expressed in the admission exam, two industrial preparatory courses were created with thirty-six students per course, which began their classes on July 6, 1948. The establishment began to operate in three rooms provided by the Identification Office which operated in the premises located at Avenida Errázuriz 1470, in front of the Bellavista station and its subway where the workshops were set up. The classes were solemnly inaugurated on April 26, 1948, emerging the seed of the “GREAT SUPERIOR INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL OF VALPARAISO”.
The newly founded educational unit lacked many furniture resources, but classes began anyway. Apart from the theoretical and physical education classes, they gradually delved into wood and metal work. The furniture workshop held assemblies under the leadership of JUAN GALAZ. The mechanics workshop was supervised by Professor AUGUSTO MODROW GUSTOFF. The most efficient students were given special jobs.
The EIV has 6 specialties:
Electricity
electronics
Industrial mechanics
Automotive mechanic
Edification
Metal Constructions
It has 2 buildings, the Viña del Mar building, which has more than 30 classrooms, where the students' theoretical teaching and general education branches are developed. The Valparaíso building houses the Workshops of the respective Specialties, where the technical part of teaching students is developed.

.Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
Let all things be done decently and in order.
1 Corinthians 14 King James Version
La cathédrale Saint-Gatien de Tours est l'église cathédrale catholique romaine, située à Tours, en Indre-et-Loire. Dédiée Saint-Gatien, elle est le siège du diocèse de Tours et la cathédrale métropolitaine de la province ecclésiastique de Tours.
Elle a été classée monument historique par liste de 1862.
La cathédrale Saint-Gatien a été construite entre 1170 et 1547. Lors de sa création, elle était située presque au débouché du pont franchissant la Loire, sur la route reliant Paris au sud-ouest de la France. Elle fait l’objet d’un classement au titre des monuments historiques par la liste de 18621.
La première cathédrale Saint-Maurice a été édifiée par Lidoire, évêque de Tours de 337 à 371 et prédécesseur de Martin. Incendiée en 561, elle est restaurée par Grégoire de Tours et dédicacée en 590. Du fait de son emplacement, à l'angle sud-ouest du castrum, et de son orientation à l'est, l'accès se faisait, sinon au travers de l'enceinte tardo-antique, du moins en baïonnette depuis la voie traversant la cité ; une telle configuration est rare2. La cathédrale de Tours est reconstruite au cours du deuxième quart du xiie siècle et est incendiée en 1166 lors des luttes entre Louis VII de France et Henri II d'Angleterre, comte d'Anjou. On ne connaît pas le plan de cet édifice.
La nef et le chœur :
La cathédrale actuelle remplace cet édifice roman. La première campagne a concerné le croisillon sud et les tours, dès 1170. Le chœur est reconstruit de 1236 à 1279 par Étienne de Mortagne. C'est la nef qui a demandé le plus de temps pour son édification. L'architecte Simon du Mans reconstruit le transept et entame la nef, dont six travées, bas-côtés et chapelles sont édifiés au xive siècle — les deux premières travées correspondent à celles de l'ancienne cathédrale romane et remontent au xiie siècle. La nef n'est achevée qu'au xve siècle par les architectes Jean de Dammartin, Jean Papin et Jean Durand, grâce aux libéralités accordées par Charles VII et le duc de Bretagne Jean V. À l'occasion de l'édification du bâtiment actuel, la nef a donc été allongée vers l'ouest et les tours encadrant l'entrée sont élevées en dehors de l'ancienne cité, accentuant la particularité de l'édifice mentionnée supra ; l'enceinte tardo-antique est visible en coupe à l'arrière des tours depuis le nord. En 1356, la cathédrale reçoit le nouveau vocable de Gatien.
La façade a perdu les grandes statues des piédroits, détruites par les protestants au cours des guerres de Religion. Mais elle demeure une des plus extraordinaires créations du gothique flamboyant dans ce qu'il a de plus éxubérant, véritable dentelle de pierre sans guère d'équivalent, chef-d'œuvre décoratif de premier plan. Les tours sont élevées dans la première moitié du xvie siècle : la tour nord a été édifiée en 1507 par Pierre de Valence, et la tour sud entre 1534 et 1547 par Pierre Gadier.

La catedral San Gaciano de Tours, también llamada Catedral de Tours es la iglesia catedral de la diócesis de Tours y la catedral metropolitana de la provincia eclesiástica de Tours. Fue construida entre 1170 y 1547. Estaba situada durante su creación casi a la salida del puente que cruza el Loira, sobre la ruta que une París con el suroeste de Francia.
Historia:
La primera catedral de San Mauricio fue edificada por Lidoire, obispo de Tours del 337 al 371 y predecesor de Martín de Tours. Incendiada en el 561, fue restaurada por Gregorio de Tours y dedicada en el 590.
Su situación, en el ángulo suroeste del castrum, hace que la orientación al este haya hecho que el acceso se haga, sino a través de la muralla tardo-antigua, desde la vía que atraviesa la ciudad. Tal configuración es poco común. No se conoce el plano de este edificio.

Saint Gatien's Cathedral is the Roman Catholic cathedral church of the Tours diocese and the metropolitan cathedral of the Tours ecclesiastic province, in Indre-et-Loire, France. Saint-Gatien's Cathedral was built between 1170 and 1547. At the time construction began, it was located at the south end of the bridge over the Loire, on the road from Paris to the south-west of France. It has been a classified Monument historique since 1862.
The first cathedral of Saint-Maurice was built by Lidoire, bishop of Tours from 337 to 371 (preceding St Martin). Burnt in 561, it was restored by Gregory of Tours and rededicated in 590. Its location, at the south-west angle of the castrum, as well as its eastern orientation, resulted in the original access being through the late-Roman surrounding wall (such a configuration is quite rare).
The cathedral was then rebuilt during the second quarter of the 12th century and again burnt in 1166 during the conflict between Louis VII of France and Henry II of England (also count of Anjou, the neighboring region).
The present cathedral replaces the 13th century Romanesque building. The first phase concerned the south transept and the towers, as early as 1170. The chancel was rebuilt from 1236 to 1279 by Étienne de Mortagne but the nave took much longer to build. The architect Simon du Mans rebuilt the transept and started the nave, including six spans, aisle and chapel, built during the 14th century — the first two spans correspond to those of the old Romanesque cathedral and date back to the 12th century. The nave was only finished during the 15th century by architects Jean de Dammartin, Jean Papin and Jean Durand, thanks to the generosity of Charles VII and the Duke of Brittany Jean V.
While building the present cathedral, the nave was then extended westward and the towers surrounding its entrance were erected during the first half of the 16th century, the first tower in 1507 by Pierre de Valence 87 m high, and the second tower during 1534 and 1547 by Pierre Gadier. Highlighting the special feature of the building, called supra, the towers were erected outside of the old city. The late-Roman surrounding wall is visible in cross section at the rear of the towers from the north.
In 1356, the cathedral received its new name of saint Gatien. Its construction having been particularly slow, it presents a complex pattern of French religious types of architecture from the 13th century to the 15th. For example, the tower buttresses are Romanesque, the ornamentation generally is pure Gothic, and the tops of the towers are Renaissance (beginning of the 16th century).
