La cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Clermont est une cathédrale gothique située à Clermont-Ferrand. Elle a été édifiée à partir de 1248 au centre de la ville de Clermont, la capitale historique de l'Auvergne. Elle a remplacé une cathédrale romane située au même endroit qui elle-même avait été précédée par deux autres sanctuaires chrétiens. Son patronage initial est celui de saint-Vital et saint-Agricol. La majeure partie de la construction actuelle date de la seconde moitié du XIIIe siècle, c'est le premier exemple d'utilisation en architecture de la pierre de Volvic. La façade occidentale et d'autres rénovations ont été effectuées par Eugène Viollet-le-Duc au cours de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle.

La Moldavie, en forme longue République de Moldavie (en roumain : Moldova et Republica Moldova), ou République de Moldova, est un pays d'Europe orientale situé entre la Roumanie et l'Ukraine, englobant des parties des régions historiques de Bessarabie, et de Podolie méridionale (dite Transnistrie en roumain). La Moldavie est membre-signataire de l'Accord de libre-échange centre-européen et du GUAM (Organisation pour la démocratie et le développement).
Historiquement, le nom de Moldavie vient de l'ancien allemand Mulde qui signifie « creux poussiéreux », « carrière », « mine », et qui a successivement désigné une cité minière (en roumain Baia, qui signifie aussi « carrière », « mine »), la rivière Moldova passant à côté, et pour finir une principauté née dans cette région. Ce nom désigne le territoire de l'ancienne Principauté de Moldavie (1359-1859) aujourd'hui partagé entre
la région de Moldavie en Roumanie (soit 8 départements) à l'ouest du Prout,
la République de Moldavie à l'est du Prout, successeur de la République socialiste soviétique de Moldavie,
et l'Ukraine soit l'oblast de Tchernivtsi (ou Cernăuți en roumain), et la partie de l'oblast d'Odessa située à l'ouest du Nistru ou Dniestr (Bugeac).
Ces trois derniers territoires ont été créés par Staline à la suite de l'annexion soviétique de juin 1940, permise par le Pacte germano-soviétique de 1939. L'adjectif géographique Moldaves se réfère à tout ce qui concerne le territoire historique de la Moldavie.

El 6 de enero próximo comenzará en Viña del Mar, el programa de natación “Actividades Acuáticas Verano 2015”, que tradicionalmente el municipio local, a través de la Casa del Deporte imparte en forma gratuita en diferentes sectores de la comuna.
El lanzamiento oficial de estos exitosos cursos que en los últimos siete años han beneficiado a más de 50 mil personas, lo realizó la alcaldesa Virginia Reginato, durante una ceremonia efectuada en la piscina del Complejo Municipal de Gómez Carreño, y en la que además estuvieron presentes la concejala Mafalda Reginato, el director de la Casa del Deporte, Javier Aravena y el presidente la Junta de Vecinos, Juan Guerrero.
En la oportunidad, la jefa comunal viñamarina procedió a premiar a Rodrigo Silva Cabrera, Constanza Ramírez Gómez, Almendra Armijo Inostroza, y Nicolás Molina Vidal, cuatro jóvenes nadadores pertenecientes a las Escuelas Deportivas Municipales de Buceo y Natación, quienes se han destacado en torneos internacionales, nacionales y regionales.
Además la alcaldesa Virginia Reginato, hizo entrega de la nueva implementación para la realización de los cursos.
Al hacer uso de la palabra, la edil destacó el gran interés que todos los años despierta este programa.
“La importancia de estos cursos se fundamenta en la premisa de lo importante que es para el ser humano saber nadar. Es por esa razón que por décimo año consecutivo hemos querido implementar estas clases, que no tienen otro objetivo que enseñar a nadar a quienes aún no saben, perfeccionar a los que han aprendido con nosotros y fomentar la práctica deportiva en familia a través de la natación, durante los meses de enero y febrero”, señaló la alcaldesa Virginia Reginato.
Javier Aravena, director de la Casa del Deporte, en tanto indicó que “este año a las 5 piscinas que ya están habilitadas, se sumará en la primera quincena de enero la de Miraflores, un moderno recinto que los vecinos del sector podrán disfrutar. Durante los meses de enero y febrero, esperamos que cerca de 15 mil personas asistan a participar en los cursos de natación e hidrogimnasia, como así también a bañarse junto a su familia”.
Agregó que “si bien la entrada es gratuita, la piscina propiamente tal tiene una capacidad máxima de 200 personas”.
El programa “Actividades Acuáticas 2015”, contempla cursos correspondientes a cuatro períodos con tres niveles de aprendizaje distintos, dependiendo del grado de avance del alumno, y de los talleres de Hidrogimnasia para los mayores.
Además los niños y jóvenes que saben nadar y tienen un avance en la técnica podrán integrarse a las selecciones de cada piscina.
Las clases serán impartidas por profesores de Educación Física especializados y se llevarán a cabo a contar del 6 de enero hasta el 28 de febrero inclusive, en las piscinas municipales de: Nueva Aurora, Villa Dulce, Miraflores, Achupallas, Gómez Carreño y Reñaca Alto.
Las fechas de los cursos son las siguientes:
Primer Período: 6 al 17 de enero.
Segundo Período: 20 al 31 de enero
Tercer Período: 3 al 14 de febrero
Cuarto Período: 17 al 28 de febrero
Cabe destacar que entre las 15.00 y las 19.00 horas las piscinas están abiertas a la comunidad, con el objeto que todas las familias puedan disfrutar de ellas, previa inscripción para la obtención de un carné identificatorio.
Este trámite lo interesados podrán realizarlo a contar de este jueves 18 del presente, directamente en la piscina correspondiente a su sector o bien solicitar mayores informaciones en la Casa del Deporte, ubicada en 5 oriente esquina 7 Norte o llamando a los teléfonos 2184674.
Old Paramus Reformed Church has a rich past. The congregation was formed in the year 1725. During the American Revolution, the Paramus Church was the site of a Continental Army military post for four years during which clashes between American and British forces took place. It was also in the original church building that General George Washington held a session of the court-martial of General Charles Lee who disobeyed orders at the Battle of Monmouth in 1778. Washington had his headquarters here at the church a total of ten times during various days from 1778-1780.
Other noted Revolutionary War figures such as Alexander Hamilton, the Marquis de Lafayette, Anthony Wayne, Richard Henry Lee, and Aaron Burr also were here from time to time during the war. From early colonial times, slaves were members of the church congregation, the upper galleries on both sides being designated for their use during services.

From early colonial times, slaves were members of the church congregation, the upper galleries on both sides being designated for their use during services.
The present church building was built in 1800. An interesting feature is that the pews are numbered. The members of earlier days rented them on an annual basis. The most expensive were numbers 50 to 57 at $52.00 per year while the least expensive were numbers 38 to 100 at $4.00 per year. Needless to say, the less expensive pews are at the rear of the sanctuary.
On each side of the pulpit, there are three pews placed at right angles to the rest of the pews in the church. These were reserved for the Elders and Deacons (on the left and right respectively). These persons collectively are known as the Consistory, which is the governing board of the church. It was their duty to sit in these pews each Sabbath with their Bibles and copies of the day's sermon to check on the "Domine" as to his conduct of the service as well as sticking to his sermon! That tradition (as to seating) was kept alive for many years in Old Paramus by members of the Consistory who sat in the first pew facing the pulpit each Sunday. The only similar practice in use today is that the Elders serving Communion sit in the first rows on either side of the center aisle.
The decorated organ pipes in the rear of the chancel (choir loft) behind the pulpit date back to 1892. In that year they were installed when the church received the gift of a new organ from a congregation member.
At the top of the arch over the pulpit, there is a Dove of Peace. The dove is made of wood and is hand-carved. The exact date of origin of the dove is unknown. One authority claims that, "The bird is an eagle and was a donation by Dr. Garret D. Banta in 1800." Records from the Consistory minutes read: 1874, Aug. 3rd: Resolved that the Consistory thankfully recognize the kindness of Mrs. Catherine Wessella for repairing and regilding the Dove, which has been a part of the decoration of the old church."
There are three flags on the pulpit - the American flag, the Christian flag and the flag of The Netherlands, the last representing our Dutch heritage. In a similar vein, for many years the Dutch flag was flown under the American flag on the staff in front of the church. Today only the American flag is flown on that flag pole.
There are several plaques on the inside walls of the church. Some honor the ministers, and others honor the various Consistories since 1725. Another just inside the front door notes that this Church has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In display cases you will find various bits of memorabilia concerning our history.
When attending Old Paramus Reformed Church, you will have come to a warm and comfortable historic church, but the service is up to date, alive, and nourishing to your whole being.
On the church campus, you will find the modern Educational Building which houses the church offices and facilities needed for Christian nurture. Another building is the one-room, church-like schoolhouse. This building houses the Ridgewood Historical and Preservation Society and is known as The Schoolhouse Museum. It was built in 1872 and was used as a school until 1905. It contains many items of historical note to this area. Make it a point to visit this museum during visiting hours. You should find it to be a very interesting and rewarding visit.
So, what kind of a church is Old Paramus Reformed Church? It is affiliated with the Reformed Church in America, the oldest Protestant denomination with a continuous ministry in America. The first church was established in New York City, then known as Nieuw Amsterdam, in 1628. The Collegiate Churches presently represent the origins of that original congregation. The best known is Marble Collegiate Church, which is where Dr. Norman Vincent Peale was the minister for fifty-two years. The Reformed Church in America (RCA) is an historic denomination coming out of the Reformation when the Church was "re-formed" and re-organized according to the teachings of the Word of God, the Bible. The Reformed Church is Biblical in doctrine, semi-liturgical in worship. Presbyterian in government, and evangelical in practice.
This year, Old Paramus Reformed Church celebrates 290 Years of God's Loving Spirit. Come join us next Sunday at 10 AM. We would be most happy to see you, and you will surely feel rewarded for the experience.

Este grupo de tres estatuas de mármol formaban parte del frontón Este del Partenón. Las tres esculturas femeninas han perdido los brazos y sus cabezas. En el extremo izquierdo está la figura de la diosa Hestia seguida de Dione y su hija Afrodita, aunque otra interpretación es que las dos figuras a la derecha son la personificación del Mar (Thalassa) en el regazo de la Tierra (Gaia).
El siguiente enlace del museo ofrece datos adicionales y once tomas de la estatua de Hestia (frontón K) – es interesante observar lo detallado de la vestimenta en la parte de atrás de Hestia, sobre todo cuando se considera que eso no era visible en el frontón:

The Danube city was only in 1954 from the 1938 from Floridsdorf (21st district) separated communities Stadlau, Kagran, Hirschstetten, Aspern and Lobau, the former Lower Austrian municipalities Süßenbrunn, Breitenlee and Essling, as well as the from the 2nd district separated Kaisermuehlen formed. Another 15 Marchfeld townships, which in 1938 during the formation of the 22nd district "Grossenzersdorf" also came to Vienna were again returned to Lower Austria in the same year. The district, which initially after 1945 was listening to the name of Stadlau, was now called Danube city (Donaustadt).
Today's 22nd district is geographically by far the largest district with 102.34 km2 and was for a long time also the least populated; in the last decades as a result of intensive urbanization (residential buildings of the Municipality of Vienna in Aspern, Hirschstetten, Kagran and Kaisermühlen) rapidly rising population numbers have been recorded (1951: 53,000; 2002: 136,000 inhabitants). However, there are still areas predominantly used for agricultural purposes.
In the modern Danube City are situated the 1964 at the Vienna International Garden Show laid out Danube Park with the 252 m high Danube Tower, the in 1975 opened Danube center, Vienna's biggest shopping center, the UNO-City (1979) and the Austria Center (1987), the Social Medical Center East (1984), the OMV, the Opel Austria (on the site of the former airfield Aspern) and the Danube power plant Freudenau (1998). By covering over of the Danube bank highway and the construction of office and residential towers, currently arises an entirely new urban center in the Danube city.
The Danube city with the at the beginning of the 20th century arosen beach area at the Old Danube and the Danube Island also has some of the most popular leisure and recreation centers of Vienna.

The Lobau, in which the Danube city also has its share, in 1977 was elevated into the rank of a nature-sanctuary and in 1996, into the rank of National Park "Danube Floodplains".
Large parts of today's Danube city in the First Republic still belonged to Floridsdorf; the early history of the social democratic movement of the Danube city therefore with that of the 21 district is largely identical.

In February 1934 also in the Danube city it came to fierce fightings. The headquarters of the Republican Defense League (Schutzbund) of Kagran was located in Komzak alley/Mälzel square (memorial plaque). Actually, Kagran was the only area where even aircrafts of the Heimwehr (right-wing para-military organization) were used. Hard-fought was also the Goethe court where in memory of February 1934 on 10 Febraury 1983 also a commemorative plaque was unveiled; another memorial plaque at the subway station Kagran center remembers the fallen tram workers of 15th February.
In many large companies, most of all in the transport companies, the gas and electric plants, but also in the fire service, the railways, the post office and the police, there were from 1934 to 1945 anti-fascist resistance groups. In the Danube Park a memorial plaque remembers that on the military firing range Kagran (in present-day park area) on October 31, 1944 the two firefighters Hermann Plackholm and Johann Zak were executed before the eyes of 600 of their colleagues. Two lanes in the Danube city were named after the two men.
In the Wurmbrand alley 12 a memorial plaque remembers the machinist Franz Stelzel who lived in this house; he also was a member of a resistance group, was arrested in 1941 and beheaded on November 10, 1942 in the Provincial Court (Landesgericht).
On May 2, 1945, the district organization was re-established in Aspern. First head of district of the 22nd district became Leopold Horacek (1946-1959), after which a residential complex is named in the Lenk alley 1-3. 1947 moved the district organization into the former Kagraner school, Donaufelder street 259.
Yet in the fifties and sixties, emerged thousands of new apartments in the hitherto sparsely populated Danube City.
1972 finally on the Racecourse grounds one of the largest municipal construction projects was tackled - the 1977 populated residential complex Rennbahnweg with 2,440 dwellings; a little later emerged the Dr. Josef Bohmann court south of Aderklaaer street with 1,600 apartments.
In parallel, also in infrastructure was invested. As early as 1978, the leading to Stadlau Südosttangente could be opened to traffic, since September 1982, the U1 runs to the center Kagran, and 1985, followed the ground-breaking ceremony for the hospital SMZ-Ost.
The Danube city today is the district of Vienna which by far continues to grow the strongest. In the municipal housing policy, however, towards the end of the eighties it came to renunciation from the large buildings of the former decades, which as an urban experiment by many are considered as failed.

An excellent example for a modern continuation of tradition of dwelling is the in 1990 completed residential complex in the Stundl alley.
Built to compete in the newly formed Group B Circuit Race series, the 288 GTO (or simply GTO) is a homologation of the Ferrari 308 GTB. Owing to FIA regulations for a legitimate homologation, a minimum of 200 288 GTOs had to be produced - this particular model was n° 22. Its upgrades were plentiful : a 400 bhp 2.855 cc DOHC mid-mounted V8 engine with twin IHI turbochargers, Behr intercoolers, and Webers-Marelli electronic fuel injection, five-speed manual transmission and four-wheel independent suspension.

Smoo Cave is a large combined sea cave and freshwater cave in Durness in Sutherland, Highland, Scotland.
Geology
Smoo Cave is formed within Early Ordovician dolostones of the Durness Group (also known as the Durness Limestone). The cave has formed along the boundary between the light grey Sangomore Formation and the dark grey, mottled Sailmhor Formation (sometimes called Leopard Rock), both of which form part the Durness Group succession. These horizons close to the formation boundary are characterised by large and abundant chert nodules which can be found all along the inner stream chamber where they have been left behind after dissolution of the surrounding dolostone. The cave was formed along two geological lines of weakness by a combination of erosion from the sea and an inland underground stream which has formed the innermost chambers. Upstream of the Allt Smoo which runs into the cave, impermeable quartzites have been faulted against the Durness Limestone, causing the stream to sink down into the carbonate rock soon after it has crossed the contact between the two different rock types.
Physical description
Outer chamber of Smoo Cave. The main entrance is to the right; the covered walkway leads to the second (inner) cave that has the waterfall.
The Smoo burn drops into the cave through a sink hole.
The cave is unique within the UK in that the first chamber has been formed by the action of the sea, whereas the inner chambers are freshwater passages, formed from rainwater dissolving the carbonate dolostones. Partway through the cave the waters of Allt Smoo also drop in as a 20m high waterfall. This is mainly due to the nearby dolostone - quartzite geological boundary where the Allt Smoo stream crosses the impermeable quartzites and sinks on meeting the permeable dolostones. Essentially the cave can be thought of as two caves formed by different mechanisms which have joined together over time. The cave is composed of three main sections; a large sea cave entrance chamber, a waterfall chamber and a short freshwater passage which leads to a terminal sump chamber with some interesting flowstone formations at the rear.
The cave entrance and main chamber have been considerably enlarged by sea action to approximately 40m wide and 15m high, the largest sea cave entrance in Britain. The entrance is located at the end of a 600m long tidal gorge (Geodha Smoo) which was once part of the cave, now collapsed. Several remnant pillars can be seen along the eastern side of the Geodh along with a large section of the previous roof which has been partly buried by the grassy slope (normally covered by rocks spelling out the names of visitors to the cave). Interestingly, the sea rarely enters the sea cave nowadays (only during spring tides) as the area has undergone isostatic uplift.
The present-day cave is 83m long up to the terminal sump at the rear of the third chamber / passage. The cave travels further however as an active stream of notable size resurges here at all times. Previous dye-testing has linked an underwater passage to an initial sink point in the Allt Smoo stream about 100m upstream from the main waterfall, implying that the cave system is at least twice as long as once thought. Cave divers belonging to the Grampian Speleological Group have dived this sump to a distance of c. 40m, although large volumes of silt and peat in the water have prevented further exploration. It is worth noting that the main waterfall is often dry and will only become active once this upstream sink overflows.
Archaeological investigations have turned up Neolithic, Norse and Iron Age artifacts, and it is thought that usage may extend back to the Mesolithic age. The cave name is thought to originate from the Norse 'smjugg' or 'smuga' meaning a hole or hiding-place.
