Civic Art Gallery /
The Pinacoteca Civica (Civic Art Museum) of Reggio Calabria was established under city council resolution no. 22, on 9 July 2008, which also approved the regulations. It was inaugurated on 26 May 2008, following the renovation of its premises, located in a wing of the "Francesco Cilea" Municipal Theatre. The most prestigious works that exhibit the institution's artistic heritage, which come from the period between the 15th and 20th centuries, are on display here. The oldest works come from the Civic Museum collections, which were suppressed in 1948. The Civic Museum was inaugurated under Mayor Plutino's administration on 18 June 1882, housing the archaeological finds from various excavations carried out in the province (photo 1 – Inauguration poster of the Civic Museum).

The various locations
The museum was first located in various rooms belonging to the municipal library, inside Palazzo Arcivescovile, which is located next to the Duomo. It was soon unable to contain the collections that gradually increased due to more frequent archaeological finds due to limited space. Between 1887 and 1889, the Museum found a new location in the Real Palazzina building, i.e. the seafront of the city built between 1786 and 1872, and, more precisely, in the building located on the corner of Via Marina and Piazza Caserme, overlooking the remains of the Roman baths found in 1886. The new museum was spread out across two floors; on the upper floor, there were 46 paintings in its inventory from 1892 (photo 2 – The Civic Museum before the 1908 earthquake).
Among the works belonging to this first nucleus, there are those from the Laocoonte sculpture group, which can be attributed to Pietro Bernini group from the seminary. The following paintings are included: S. Ignazio di Loyola by Giuseppe Mancinelli, now exhibited inside the Church of the Ottimati; Cain and Abel, which comes from the suppressed convent of the Philippine Fathers; Apollo and Marsyas, and, above all, the two tablets, later attributed to Antonello da Messina, "Visita dei tre angeli ad Abramo" ("Visit of the Three Angels to Abraham") and "San Girolamo penitente" ("The Pentinent St. Jerome"), purchased by the municipality in 1890 by Giovanbattista Rota fu Michele, a descendent of a noble family from Reggio. During the earthquake of 28 December 1908, the Civic Museum building also suffered significant damage and thus the works contained therein (photo 3 – The Civic Museum building after the earthquake of 1908). As a temporary solution to house the collections, a barrack pavilion was built under a project led by the Engineer Pedace in 1911, which was enlarged in 1913, along Piazza Acacie (the area that is currently Via XXI Agosto). Meanwhile, a dispute began in the city regarding the establishment of a new National Archaeological Museum in Reggio Calabria, following a proposal by the archaeologist and superintendent Paolo Orsi, and the construction of a Civic Museum, to be hypothetically placed where the remains of the Castle were located. This last idea was approved on 17 May 1911 by the city council. During this period, the collections increased, partly due also to the amount of damage suffered during the earthquake by numerous civic and religious buildings that contained works of art inside them. In 1909, the Federico Genoese collection was acquired (photo 4 – portrait of Federico Genoese), inherited from his brother Domenico, and from this a testamentary bequest was made following his death on the night of the earthquake. Among the 65 works in the collection are: the paintings of the Reggio painter Vincenzo Cannizzaro, "Cena in Emmaus" ("The Supper in Emmaus") attributed to Alonso Rodriguez, "Liberazione di San Pietro dal carcere" ("The Liberation of Saint Peter from Prison") from the Preti school, and "Giuditta e Oloferne" ("Judith Beheading Holofernes") from the Sicilian Baroque school.
In 1915, the Municipal Administration further enriched its artistic heritage by purchasing the Monsolino -Lavagna - De Blasio collection (photo 5 - La carrozza del Barone De Blasio – The Carriage of Baron De Blasio). This collection, made up of 35 paintings, was sold by Baron De Blasio, having destroyed his villa in Sbarre Superiore, where the works were kept. Among the paintings in the collection are, "Cristo e l'adultera" ("Christ and the Adulterer") by Luca Giordano, "Ragazza che lava i sedani" by Monsù Bernardo, and the landscape paintings by Ignazio Lavagna Fieschi. In the meantime, it was necessary to provide a stable location to works and findings from the civic museum, which in 1915 were partially transferred to the basements of the finished Royal Magistral Institute, and in 1922, to today's "Piria" Technical Institute where the "Spanò Bolani" Civic Museum was set up (photo 6 – Piria Technical Institute), while part of the archaeological collections were in the custody of the national museums of Syracuse and Taranto. Since 1915, the plans for the permanent location of the museum followed one another, from the first project proposed by the Engineers De Simone and Laviny, in the area where Piazza del Popolo is currently located, to the final project presented by the architect Marcello Piacentini.
The National Museum of Magna Grecia, as it is currently known, was inaugurated on 18 November 1941, but the Byzantine, medieval, and modern art sections, which also included pictorial and sculptural works, were inaugurated almost thirty years later, on 19 April 1969 (photo 7 – National Archaeological Museum of Magna Grecia). 60 paintings were displayed, laid out in five rooms, including some of the works from the suppressed Civic Museum and selections from the state works purchased from 1925. Indeed, with the agreement signed on 22 May 1948 between the Municipality of Reggio Calabria and the Ministry of Education, the Municipality sold the museum building and the collections of the Civic Museum to the Ministry, which was simultaneously suppressed.
On 26 May 2008, the current headquarters of the Civic Museum of Reggio Calabria (photo 8 – Inauguration of the Civic Museum), located on the first floor of the "Francesco Cilea" Municipal Theatre, built between 1920 and 1931, as part of a project led by Engineers Domenico De Simone and Luigi Laviny in 1919. The theatre's wing, which was specially restored according to architect Fabio Mariano's project, displays in chronological order what were the collections of the former Civic Museum, enriched by some state-owned works, such as "Il ritorno del figliol prodigo" ("The Return of the Prodigal's Son") by Mattia Preti and from the municipal collections formed during the 20th century. These latter works come largely from the Biennial Exhibitions of Calabrian Art, which took place in Reggio Calabria between 1920 and 1951, organised and promoted by Alfonso Frangipane (photo 9 - Alfonso Frangipane). Furthermore, thanks to the Biennials, today we can admire the works of Calabrian artists such as Rubens Santoro, Saverio Gatto, Enrico Salfi, Raffaele Ursini, as well as internationally renowned artists such as Renato Guttuso. The last collection that was received was the Vitrioli collection, granted to the Municipality by the descendants of the Reggio painter and composer Annunziato Vitrioli and his son Tommaso, also a painter.

Mars: Now more than ever
Last month I mentioned that Mars is currently closing in for a favorable observing season due to it's relative proximity to the Earth. Later in this article I'll tell you where you can go to see Mars live through a telescope with your own eye.
In August Mars inches closer every day until it reaches its nearest point to us on August 27. On that day earth and Mars will only be 34,646,418 miles (55,758,006 km) apart according to the U.S. Naval Observatory. the two worlds were separated by 42 million miles (67 million km) at the previous opposition in June 2001 (source: Star Points June 2001).
How does the current opposition compare with past and future? Sky and Telescope magazine reports that the last time the planets were closer than this month may have been in 57,617 B.C. But the difference is small - only 25,000 miles (40,000 km). The next time they will be closer has been calculated by astronomer Jan Meeus. However, the specific year varies by source. Sky & Telescope says Meeus came up with 2287, but Guy Ottewell (Astronomical Calendar 2003) says the year Meeus determined is 2729! Perhaps Meeus has modified his prediction over the years.
The closer Mars comes the larger it appears in a telescope. At closest approach its angular diameter will subtend 25.1 "arc seconds." By comparison, the full moon has an average angular size of 31 arc minutes. There are 60 arc minutes per degree, so the moon's diameter is about 1/2 degree across.
Likewise, there are 60 arc seconds per arc minute. If you could make copies of the planet Mars and lay them side by side, it would take 74 Mars "pearls" to span the diameter of the full moon.
To put it another way, when closest Mars will be the same size as a dime viewed 243 feet away.
The most prominent feature on Mars is currently the southern polar cap. Use a good telescope and a moderate power (100x-200x) to see it.
One disadvantage with close oppositions like this one for observers in the northern hemisphere is that Mars is located in the southern constellation Aquarius. Thus, it never gets very high above the horizon during the night. Haze and clouds can easily interfere and make it difficult to see fine detail on Mars' surface.
However, at opposition Mars will be up all night, rising at sunset and setting at sunrise. It is highest in the sky, and best placed for viewing, around midnight.
Astronomers are also keeping a close eye on the martian weather. As the weather warms on Mars, the polar cap melts and dust storms kick up. Dust storms can intensify to global proportions casting a pale pall over visible surface features for weeks or months.
A good chance to view Mars live during its approach will be at the Bear Branch Nature Center (BBNC) on Friday, August 8. Members from the Westminster Astronomical Society (WAS) will have telescopes set up (weather permitting) for a public star party coinciding with planetarium programs. The star party begins at 08:00 p.m. and is free. For planetarium ticket information, please call BBNC at 410-848-2517.
If the BBNC event does not work out for you, WAS members will have their telescopes set up near the tennis courts at Piney Run Park in Eldersburg between 08:00 p.m. and midnight on Saturday, September 6. There is no cost for this event. Although it will be past opposition, Mars will be closer than at the earlier BBNC star party.
As mentioned last month, Mars and the moon had a close encounter on July 17. The author imaged the pair from his back yard observatory near New Windsor.

Android app developers UK businesses can trust
Check out some of our latest projects:
Zudu Behind the Scenes: A Look at Some of Our Latest Projects
PFI Helpdesk App Development
Talbase - An Award Winning Software as a Service Product for Recruiters
Looking for Android app developers UK businesses can trust? You're not the only one. In the United Kingdom, app development is big business, with companies spending millions of pounds per year on designing and developing new smartphone apps, whether for Android or iOS. And there's a good reason for doing so – launching a successful app can make your business lots of money, and considering the average Briton has 80 apps installed on their phone, there's plenty of opportunities for new apps to enter the market and disrupt an industry, whatever it is you do.
In this post, we'll delve deeper into the things you need to consider if you're looking for Android app developers UK-based. And as Zudu is home to some of the best app developers UK-wide, we'll no doubt be able to impart some of our wisdom and help you make the right decision.
Why you need an app on Android
Although Apple was the first to coin 'there's an app for that' and introduce the App Store to the world, rival Google holds a significant operating system market share in the United Kingdom. Because of that, it's essential that you make your app accessible in the Google Play Store.
Apple's iPhone may be the most popular phone in the United Kingdom, but Android still holds a 44% share of the market, with millions choosing models like the Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy. Android tablets are also incredibly popular, as they're more affordable than the iPad and a traditional computer, making them great for streaming movies, marking papers and socialising.
If you want to ensure that you launch an app that has as wide a reach as possible, then finding mobile app developers UK-based should be your first move. Not only will they be able to help you create an app that speaks to your audience, but ensure it works on both iOS and Android.
Aside from Android's large market share, another reason why launching an app on the operating system is such a good idea is because of the Google Play Store. Google's publication process is much less strict than Apple's – not only is their app review process much quicker but making updates to your app can be done in record time, ensuring users get access to the latest version of your content. The App Store, on the other hand, can take days to process new app updates.
Finding Android app developers UK-based will ensure you can launch an app that is tailored to Android smartphones and utilises some of the latest operating system features. Although app development for iOS and Android is similar, they use different coding languages, require their own development tools, and follow different 'house styles'. iOS apps, for example, will conform to Apple's default iOS styling, whilst Android apps will likely adopt Google's Material Design.
Finally, there's the consideration of market share. Although iOS has taken the top spot here in the United Kingdom, globally, Android is the market leader. Last year, Android held an 85% OS market share, compared to Apple's 14.7%. If you're looking to design and launch an app for a global audience, starting with an Android build could be the most sensible option.
Finding an Android app developer
Now that you've decided to launch an Android app for your business, you'll likely be wondering how to choose the best developer for the job. There are lots of things to consider, including the budget for your development project, the industry you work in, and the location of your business. Whilst some businesses prefer to meet developers face to face, others are happy to submit an initial pitch and leave the experts to create an app that they think meets their requirements.
Investing in an app for your business won't come cheap, so making the right choice is essential. The average smartphone app will set you back several thousand pounds, and you'll also need to consider the costs associated with ongoing maintenance and new features.
Start by conducting research, and pooling together some of the best app developers. You may decide to work with a company that specialises in a particular niche, or you might choose an agency that only designs Android apps. Whittle down your choices, comparing your options based on price, testimonials and their customer service before you make a decision.
Zudu: Android app developers UK businesses can depend on
If you're on a mission to find the best Android app developers UK businesses could choose, you've come to the right place. Here at Zudu, we specialise in Android app development, with experience working on projects for companies such as NHS Scotland.

If you have been following our Instagram and Facebook lately you may have noticed that over the past few weeks we have been talking all things Scandi, due to our recent trip with our gorgeous friends at Great Dane Furniture.
Our first stop was the beautiful Stockholm where we visited the annual Furniture Fair and delighted in the charm that is Ett Hem. We spent hours in the wonderfully colourful, Svenskt Tenn (which we visited not just once, but on two occasions) and ate the finest food to warm our souls, after all it was -10 degrees outside!
We then made our way to Denmark's capital, Copenhagen, where we visited many showrooms including Fredericia's new premises and witnessed the craftsmanship behind the furniture at PP Mobler, truly amazing to say the least.

Aspira Puerto Rico, McCann launch 'A Media Asta' educational Campaign
By Caribbean Business on February 8, 2018
SAN JUAN – The community-based organization Aspira Puerto Rico and advertising agency McCann Puerto Rico joined forces to launch the "A Media Asta" ("At Half-Mast") campaign, to raise awareness about the alarming number of infections and deaths in the world from sexually transmitted diseases.
The director of Aspira Puerto Rico's HIV/AIDS/STD Prevention Program, Lizbeth Rivera, reported that the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 358.8 million people annually in the world contract a sexually transmitted infection or disease (STI, STD), including HIV. That is, 983,013 people every day and 40,958 people every hour contract some sexually transmitted infection. This is equivalent to 683 people infected every minute.
"For Aspira Puerto Rico, it is a source of pride that an international advertising agency such as McCann, through its creative director, José Rodríguez, selected us to conduct this educational campaign that is consistent with our programmatic area of health promotion," said Adalexis Ríos Orlandi, executive director of Aspira.
"This valuable initiative demonstrates the commitment and social responsibility of an advertising agency…when Puerto Rico is going through difficult situations and requires preventive health strategies," Ríos Orlandi added.
According to the executive director, through the nonprofit's Education Program for the Prevention of AIDS & Sexually Transmitted Diseases, the young and adult populations are made aware of the risk behaviors that may cause HIV/AIDS and other STDs. This program is funded from the U.S. Department of Health through the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC).
The creative director of McCann said the purpose of lowering the Puerto Rican flag at half-mast before and on Valentine's Day is a sign of mourning to raise awareness among youth and adults about practicing sex without protection.
"The number of [STDs] is alarming. That is why, in solidarity with all [people who became infected], we want to send a warning message to all members of our society. I invite you to become part of this prevention effort, since infection does not discriminate by race or social status," Rodríguez said.
The agency created www.amediaasta.com where people can download the Puerto Rican flag at half-mast in digital format.
"We invite all of Puerto Rico to put the Puerto Rican flag at half mast Feb. 8-14 and share the act through social media as a show of support for this effort," Ríos Orlandi said.
According to the CDC, the United States sees about 20 million new infections annually and recommends using condoms as a preventive method. Some STDs do not show symptoms, so it is possible a person becomes infected and does not know it. The most common STDs are human papillomavirus (HPV), which if left untreated can become cancer; syphilis; chlamydia; gonorrhea; herpes; and HIV/AIDS. For all these diseases, treatment is available, and some can be cured.

Fatdog64 has the potential to serve as an alternative lightweight OS to Linux distros such as Puppy Linux, Knoppix and Zephyr. However, it has some critical usability issues that need to be fixed first.
The latest update, released last month, does nothing to improve its disappointing performance. Fatdog64 seems to have lost its performance edge over earlier versions that made it more appealing as an alternative "frugal" Linux candidate.
The numerous Puppy Linux derivatives and Knoppix have solid reputations for fast and efficient performance on older, less powerful desktop and portable computers. Zephyr Linux is too new to have a reputation yet, but it is fast and stable, and it runs fully from a USB drive.
All three distros let you carry an entire Linux OS and all your documents and files on a bootable CD or USB drive to run on nearly all computers without having to install anything on hard drives.
Fatdog64 Linux is a small-footprint 64-bit Linux distribution that first appeared as a derivative of Puppy Linux. Early Fatdog64 versions made their mark by replicating the Puppy Linux design with additional applications that still loaded completely into RAM. That application bundle is the reason for the distro's "chubby" name.
Fatdog64 outgrew its Puppy Linux leash and became an independent Linux distribution. The new release still has the look and feel of its Puppy Linux lineage, but its reliability and usability don't measure up. It offers less and left me wanting more.
Fatdog64 lacks stability. It takes excessive time to load into RAM from bootable CDs and USB drives. This is partly due to an inability to place some of the standard system files on hard drives for reuse, like Puppy Linux does.
This does not require a partitioning of the hard drive -- it is merely a missing feature. Once Fatdog64 is fully loaded from the CD/DVD, you can remove the optical storage platter and continue working.
A more serious issue is Fatdog64's failure to save system and app settings, and sometimes application data, to the save space created during the frugal installation process. Two glaring examples of the usability issues this causes are having to reset the number of virtual desktops and having to reconfigure the Internet connection for every new work session.
Fatdog64 gives you an option to create a personal save partition on the hard drive, rewritable CD/DVD or USB drive on first use. That is supposed to provide safe storage to all settings and data from the work session.
On subsequent booting, you have the option to start with a virgin environment or load the saved OS version from the persistent memory storage. Retrieving that data, however, is not consistent.
A related problem involves the initial installation to CD/DVD or USB. I used the same ISO file to burn the images. The CD/DVD installation booted up, but the USB installation failed to boot -- whether created by Fatdog64's own installation tool, manual dd commands, or applications such as USB Creator or Unebootin.
It made no difference which bootloader option I selected. The USB installation refused to let me boot from the USB drive. I had to use the much slower CD/DVD. However, the same USB did provide access to the persistent memory file.
A related serious problem is the bootloader installation. The safe or default method worked with the CD/DVD but not the installation to USB drives. All available bootloader options warned that using the automated methods would probably prevent default OSes on the hard drive from booting. There were no directions on how to manually edit the bootloader.cfg file in the hope of preventing that problem.
I was hopeful that since Fatdog64 was a close kin to Puppy Linux, I could use the large library of PET files from my various iterations of Puppy Linux distros. With only minor exceptions, PET files (the archived structure Puppy Linux software uses) would be interchangeable, according to the Fatdog64 documentation.
That may be the case in theory, but it was only partly true in practice. It took me considerable trial and error to adapt Puppyland programs to run well, if at all, in this latest Fatdog64 release.
This distro is based on the Slackware Linux family and uses the gslapt package manager. Gslapt uses Slackware-style TXZ packages rather than the PET package format used in Puppy Linux derivatives and the previous 500 and 600 Fatdog64 series.
Of course, I could spend countless hours fiddling with a special tool to convert PET packages into the TXZ package format. That system tool is packaged in the Fatdog64 release. However, the process is mostly hit-or-miss, thanks to system idiosyncrasies and missing package dependencies.
If those were the only issues, I could chalk up the conversion process to being a one-time set-up requirement. However, the reliability and usability issues made my experience with Fatdog64 frustrating and unsatisfying.
Fatdog64 starts out with an uncluttered Openbox desktop environment. It shows only a few basic system icons in the upper left corner of the screen. The default desktop view also shows hard drive volumes, connected USB and optical drives along the bottom left corner of the screen.
One of my favorite features with Openbox is right-clicking anywhere on the desktop to pop up the complete cascading main menu. You also can click the menu button on the far left of the bottom panel.
You can add application launch icons by dragging them from the menu to the desktop. This is much handier than sending icons from the /USR folder to the desktop, but you can use that method in Fatdog as well.
Fatdog64's desktop lets you control clutter by keeping a minimalist view or dragging desired application icons from the menu to the desktop.
The default configuration places two virtual desktops on the bottom panel. You can add more by clicking on the "add desktop" option in the Desktop button on the menu. Just as with the network connection, however, you have to reconfigure the additional workspaces after each new bootup.
A cool system tweak lets you switch between the Openbox and JWN window managers by simply clicking two buttons in the menu. One switches between environment options. The other quickly reloads the desktop without having to completely reboot the OS.
Another nice design element in Fatdgo64 is the placement of most of the system settings under seven tabbed panels in the Control Panel. The tabs are Localizations, Desktop, Sound, Network, System, Utilities and Updates.
Fatdgo64 organizes most of the system settings within seven tabbed panels in the control panel.
I was impressed with the ease of maintaining the OS. For example, the Updates panel provides access to an automated System Updater. It tells you at a glance if the system is up to date. If it is not, you click options to install updated packages, replace SFS files, and update the kernel.
SFS files are specialized software bundles packaged as Squash File System collections. These are available from several repositories to make it easier to customize the software Fatdog64 uses. Puppy Linux also uses SFS files.
Loading much of a distro's core elements into RAM is a proven method for delivering lightning-fast performance. However, Fatdog64 gets in its own way by failing to provide an option for storing essential files on the hard drive, which would reduce the need to read them from the CD/DVD or USB drives. Its performance is therefore noticeably sluggish compared to Puppy Linux and other "portable" distros.

Q-switched Nd:Yag Laser
What is Q-switched Nd:Yag Laser?
Nd:Yag laser is a non-ablative laser. This means that there is no break in skin tissue continuity during the treatment. It is designed to target pigment cells. This specific wavelength are absorbed preferentially by pigments (melanin) and the resultant heat will cause generation and propagation of waves that cause damage to the cells containing pigment. These damaged cells will then be cleared from the site resulting in lightening of the pigmented site.
When do we use Q-switched Nd:Yag laser?
Q-switched Nd:Yag laser are used mainly for pigmentary disorders resulting in darker patch/lesions. However, not all lesions have good results with Q-switched Nd:Yag laser. It is important to get the correct diagnosis at the start to ensure careful selection of treatment modalities. Another major indication of Q-switched Nd:Yag laser is for tattoo removal. Amateur tattoo, those purely black tattoos seems to work better than multicoloured tattoos (professional tattoos). Black pigments work better compared to other colours. Apart from these, Q-switched Nd:Yag also produces rejuvenation effect and provides lightening of the skin.
How is the laser procedure?
Most of the patients are tolerable to the discomfort cause by the laser. Hence, there is usually no need for anaesthetic creams for this procedure.
Firstly, the skin is cleansed, eyes covered by protective googles followed by the laser therapy. You will expect mild discomfort/pain which is usually tolerable. The whole procedure will take about 15-30 minutes.
After the procedure, you may experience redness over the treated site which may last few hours. Most of the time, there is no swelling and most patients can return to work almost immediately.
Immediately post laser, you may or may not see lightening of the pigmentation. In fact, the pigmented spot may even darken for 1-2 weeks before getting lighter. However, the skin lightening and rejuvenation may be seen immediately post-laser. Do not expect dramatic result.
Is it an one-off treatment?
Most of the time, one treatment does not yield adequate results. Depending on the diagnosis, the number of treatment needed is variable. Repeat treatment is often scheduled 4-6 weeks later.
Always consult your doctor for your pigmentary problems. A right diagnosis with the right machine and doctor makes a huge difference to the treatment outcome.

Жанна (Иоанна) д'Эврё (; 1310 — 4 марта 1371, замок Бри-Комт-Робер, Франция) — королева Франции в 1325—1328 годах, дочь Людовика Французского, графа д'Эврё, единокровного брата короля Филиппа IV Красивого, и Маргариты д'Артуа.

Биография
В 1325 году Жанна д'Эврё стала третьей женой короля Франции Карла IV Красивого, приходившегося ей двоюродным братом. У супругов родилось три дочери:
 Жанна (1326—1328)
 Мария (1327—1341)
 Бланка (1328—1393), была выдана замуж за герцога Филиппа Орлеанского, брата короля Иоанна II Доброго; детей не имела.

С 25 декабря 1327 года Карл оказался прикованным болезнью к постели. Он умер 1 февраля 1328. Жанна в это время была беременна их третьим ребёнком. Регентом государства до рождения наследника стал Филипп Валуа. Через два месяца после смерти мужа Жанна разрешилась от бремени дочерью и, согласно салическому закону, ни новорождённая, ни её старшая сестра Мария не могли унаследовать отцовский трон. Мужская линия династии Капетингов пресеклась, и на французский престол вступил представитель боковой ветви дома — Филипп Валуа, кузен Карла IV. На трон претендовал также король Англии Эдуард III. Это и послужило спустя 9 лет одной из причин Столетней войны.

Жанна получила во владение город Бри-Комт-Робер.

Она скончалась 4 марта 1371 года в замке Бри-Комт-Робер, в Иль-де-Франс, в двадцати милях к юго-востоку от Парижа. Была похоронена рядом с мужем в базилике Сен-Дени, некрополе французских королей.

Наследие

До наших дней дошли две вещи, принадлежавшие Жанне: её книга молитв и статуя Мадонны с Младенцем. Молитвенник, известный как Часослов Жанны д'Эврё представляет собой небольшой иллюминированный манускрипт. Он был изготовлен между 1324 и 1328 годами французским миниатюристом Жаном Пюселем, вероятно, в качестве подарка Жанне от её мужа Карла IV Красивого. В настоящее время находится в музее Метрополитен в Нью-Йорке. Статуэтка Мадонны с Младенцем была подарена Жанной аббатству Сен-Дени в 1339 году. Сейчас хранится в Лувре.

В массовой культуре
Жанна д'Эврё — одно из действующих лиц романов «Французская волчица» и «Лилия и лев» из цикла «Проклятые короли» Мориса Дрюона. А также упоминается в романе «Когда король губит Францию» того же цикла.

It's the evening time and the city is in its glow thanks to the eye – popping lights of different shades. You are about to enter a show that also has the good guys and girls of the city. But before you reach the dance hall that is always dimly lit, make sure you follow some etiquette than can make the overall experience pleasant for you and for the performers as well.
Keep this in mind always! The burlesque shows in Melbourne have been instrumental in providing one of the most engaging entertainments in America and they are fun although sometimes a bit over the top. The performers may be insanely attractive in appearance, but they are also creative in what they do. They usually spend a lot of time in rehearsals and perfecting the costumes, so, expect a good show but no obscenity.
A Burlesque show is unlike any other opera performance. The performers expect you to be interactive and if you are enjoying the show, make sure to hoot to your heart's content. Express to them, the amazing stuff you are experiencing, but in this process; do not blast out obscene words or inappropriate gestures at them. The performers are on the stage for a reason and they are not going to meet any of your demands.
Although the society is becoming increasingly cashless, some traditional burlesque shows do not accept debit or credit cards. Make it easy for them by heading to an ATM and drawing the required amount of cash. Some shows may even allow you to give tip the performer, but make sure to check for the rules and regulations for each of them. Do not go to the stage and tip without the approval of the MC.
Have you ever attended great circus tents in Australia and asked to leave just because you were clicking a selfie? The same thing is to be expected of the burlesque shows. Obviously, it is tempting to click some since the performance is amazing and the show is fabulous, but there are some rules to go to the place which has to be complied with no matter what.
Almost at every show, there will be a session before and after the event where you can meet up with the performers and share your thoughts with them. Appreciate for the work they have done, and do not be the guy or girl who will simply put them down for fun.
There it is, so these are the tips you must follow so that you can enjoy your next show!

Asylum in the EU27
2. априла 2013. Evropska unija Ostavite komentar 715 Pregleda
Saopštenje EUROSTAT-a
The number of asylum applicants registered in the EU27 rose to more than 330 000 in 2012
In 2012, there were 332 000 asylum applicants1 registered in the EU27. It is estimated that around 90% of these were new applicants and around 10% were repeat applicants2. In 2011, there were 302 000 asylum applicants.
While Afghanistan (8% of the total number of applicants) remained in 2012 the first main country of citizenship3 of these applicants, Syria (7%) became the second just ahead of Russia (7%), Pakistan (6%) and Serbia (6%).
These data4 on asylum applicants in the EU27 are issued by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union.
Germany, France, Sweden, the United Kingdom and Belgium register 70% of all applicants
In 2012, the highest number of applicants was registered in Germany (77 500 applicants, or 23% of total applicants), followed by France (60 600, or 18%), Sweden (43 900, or 13%), the United Kingdom (28 200, or 8%) and Belgium (28 100, or 8%). These five Member States accounted for more than 70% of all applicants registered in the EU27 in 2012.
Compared with the population of each Member State, thehighest rates of applicants registered were recorded in Malta (5 000 applicantsper million inhabitants), Sweden (4 600), Luxembourg (3 900), Belgium (2 500) and Austria (2 100), and the lowest in Portugal (30), Estonia and Spain (both 55) and the Czech Republic (70).
In some Member States, a large proportion of the applicants came from a single country. The Member States with the highest concentrations were Malta (60% of the applicants came from Somalia), Poland (57% from Russia), Latvia (51% from Georgia), Lithuania (48% from Georgia), Estonia (45% from Georgia) and Hungary (41% from Afghanistan).
More than a quarter of first instance decisions were positive
In 2012 in the EU273, 73% of first instance decisions5 made on asylum applications were rejections, while 14% of applicants were granted refugee status, 10% subsidiary protection and 2% authorisation to stay for humanitarian reasons. It should be noted that first instance decisions made in 2012 may refer to applications registered in previous years.
If the proportion of positive decisions varies considerably among Member States, it should be kept in mind that the country of origin of applicants also differs greatly between Member States.

There are a number of dates throughout the year on which Artemis funds are closed for dealing.
There are a number of dates throughout the year on which Artemis funds are closed for dealing. These are principally bank and local holidays in the countries and markets where our funds invest.
On 'non-dealing' days, stockmarkets are closed, so funds are unable to make investment transactions in those markets. In turn, the Artemis funds affected are closed for dealing.
On these days, no price per share/unit (net asset value) will be issued and no dealing instructions are able to be actioned (by way of subscriptions, redemptions, switches or conversions).
As a result, for any dealing instructions affected by a non-dealing day (and therefore a non-valuation day), the settlement period may be extended when a non-dealing day falls between the trade date and the settlement date. Any dealing instruction submitted on a non-dealing day will be carried forward to the next dealing day.
Non-dealing days are applicable to all shares of affected funds.
Most stock exchange and market closures can be anticipated, enabling us to provide a list of dates affected over a full calendar year. This page is regularly updated to primarily reflect:
Changes to our fund range
Changes of funds' exposure to markets
Events causing sudden closure of local stock exchanges or markets
Please bookmark this page to ensure you use the latest information for your dealing decisions. It is your responsibility to ensure that any investment is made on the basis of the latest information available.

Texas Teachers sets aside $475m for real-asset portfolio
By Jon Peterson2016-05-10T13:52:00+01:00
The Teacher Retirement System of Texas has approved $475m (€417m) in new real estate commitments.
The fund made a $150m allocation to the closed-end AEW Capital Management Senior Housing Investors III.
AEW will be investing in senior housing assets in the US and Canada, focusing on areas with strong demographics and high barriers to entry.
Housing Investors III will be buying age-restricted, independent/assisted living and memory care senior housing assets.
The main focus will be to invest in assets that produce stable cashflows.
Some deals will involve assets that can be repositioned or renovated, as well as new development opportunities.
Texas Teachers considers the commitment to be a follow-on investment, having made a $100m allocation into AEW Senior Housing Investors II in 2012.
AEW raised $371m for Fund II in 2014.
The pension fund has also approved a $250m commitment to Brookfield Asset Management's Infrastructure Fund III-A.
Brookfield is seeking a $10bn capital raise for the fund, with a $12bn hard cap.
The manager will be co-investing $4bn.
Fund III's target return is a net IRR of 10%, including a 5% cash yield.
The global fund, which has a core investment strategy, will buy transportation, renewable power, utilities and energy infrastructure.
Texas Teachers also made a $75m allocation to Stonepeak's Infrastructure Fund II-T (Side Car) vehicle.
The pension fund had previously made a $250m commitment directly to the fund last year.
Fund II plans to invest in infrastructure assets in the US and Canada only, with a targeted 12% net IRR.

Postdoctoral Research Associate
Academia / University
Dr. Adrienne Wootten believes very much in doing, not wanting others to do things. She's a climate scientist and an expert in climate modeling, downscaling, accuracy and uncertainty in climate projections, and applying projections to applications and decision making. While she's a researcher, Adrienne also has a long history of engagement from the North Carolina State Climate Office to her current position at the South Central Climate Adaptation Science Center (SCCASC). In her role at the SCCASC, Adrienne works in a dual role of research and engagement. Her current research focuses on the accuracy and uncertainty associated with climate modeling and downscaling, with added emphasis on the use of climate projections for impact assessments and decision making. Adrienne also assists with the tribal liaisons and other SCCASC staff with outreach and engagement and serves as a liaison between the SCCASC and the NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (one of the SCCASC consortium partners). Her work helps connect stakeholder needs to climate modeling efforts, and Adrienne uses that joint knowledge to help guide the use of projections in decision making. Adrienne is always happy to engage and help empower communities, tribal nations, and others to meet their challenges and decisions in a changing climate. Dr. Wootten also serves as the Editor-in-Chief of the Early Career Climate Forum (ECCF).

Luther Says, The Vatican Says, Jesus Says?
Jesus made a point of telling his first disciples, eleven longshoremen and a money man who went bad, that his yoke was easy and his burden was light.
2) discipling-baptizing adult folks all across the world. (Matthew28.19).
This first ordinance was the last thing he said and did in the physical flesh. The second was the last thing he said before he ascended to heaven.
But many of us have found our own escape clauses for these two ordinances, like it's everbody's-case-gets-dismissed-day in traffic court.
"I don't need adult baptism because Luther said 'faith alone.' "
"I don't need it because the Vatican said Infant baptism is fine."
"I don't need the table because it's just about symbols."
Likewise, before he died, while travailing in the garden of Getsemane on the eve of his crucifiction, Jesus asked his first disciples to keep watch with him for one hour (Matthew26,40).
They fell asleep right away.
He also told us to call no man 'father', which includes 'Pastor', 'My Lord', 'Reverend', 'Your this or that', 'my this or that', 'First Lady' and the like (Matthew23,9). But folks have been tripping over themselves in the church, and outside it too, for almost 2000 years currying the political favor of church people.
Two ordinances, a caution about watching (Matthew25,13), and a prohibition against honorifics.
Compared with the keeping 1300 proscriptions of the Mosaic law, this doesn't seem like much.
No wonder He said His yoke is easy.
Now I don't exactly know how Jesus feels about how we have manipulated and minimized his two ordinances, his caution, and that simple prohibition.
But I sort of have an idea.
Because one time a long time ago I went overseas to study for a few months and everyone around me gladly agreed that they would not use my foreign car when I was gone. My one ordinance- just let my car sit. They all agreed, and I had my good reasons, however illogical and burdensome they might have seemed.
But when I came back- there it was- with the exhaust system all burned up.
So let us contemplate our Lord Jesus up there in heaven, watching our every disobedient move and hearing our every idle word about these two ordinances.
"Now I'm glad some of them know that in me mercy and justice meet, but I gave them only two ordinances and one half of the flock totally and quickly changed them both to suit themselves, and then later the other half came along and has a lot of words for why they don't really matter."
Finally, please note I live close to Mixville Pond and the Naugatuck River, and after your baptism, you might be hungry for Spiritual food and drink (1Corinthians10,3-4) from the Lord's table.

Sam and Sarah met while students working at the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter (HSHS), where they served on staff. Before college, each had developed a passion for issues of housing and homelessness. At Y2Y, Sam and Sarah have built a wide, diverse and passionate community of supporters, including key political figures from Boston and Cambridge and a wide volunteer base. They graduated in May 2014 from Harvard and were recently part of the 2015 Bostonians of the Year Honorable Mentions list by the Boston Globe Magazine. In 2017, they were part of the Forbes 30 under 30 Social Entrepreneur class.
In February 2020, Y2Y Network welcomed new Executive Director Cameron Van Fossen, who brings over a decade of experience in nonprofit leadership and commitment to ending youth homelessness.
Y2Y's vision is to create a network of communities where all young adults experiencing homelessness have a safe place to rest, grow, and lead. Last season, 81% of guests reported feeling safe during their stay, 89% of guests would recommend to a friend, and 70% of guests reported leaving Y2Y with a concrete plan for their pathway out of homelessness.
Y2Y Harvard Square has served over 500 young adults experiencing homelessness in Cambridge, MA.

Film Review: From Within (2008)
Anton Cancre 11/06/2020 Film Reviews
When a rash of mysterious suicides strikes the idyllic burg of Grovetown, it galvanizes the faith of the largely Christian community, which staunchly clings to its evangelical beliefs. Convinced that the deaths are the work of something far more sinister than sheer fate, teenagers Lindsay (Elizabeth Rice) and Aidan (Thomas Dekker) band together to unearth the real culprits … and uncover a shocking revelation.
"You're not gonna like this."
I want to make it clear that I absolutely love balls-out horror. Unapologetic, unadulterated, unrelenting assaults on the senses that coat you from head to toe in Karo blood and ooey-gooey innards get my blood going like nothin' else. At the same time, it's nice to occasionally come across a movie that takes its time with me, oozing through my pores to poke at my brain. Films that are disturbing and moving and scary on deeper psychological level. Burnt Offerings, the original The Haunting, Angel Heart and Frailty are high on my list and while From Within is not quite up to those standards, it has wormed its way onto said list.
Right from the get-go, we see a young man and what we assume to be his girlfriend cuddling by the pier while he reads what sounds like poetry. It's an adorable scene of adolescent bliss until he pulls out a gun and blows a good portion of his skull all over her. From then on, the townspeople begin to kill themselves without apparent motive and some very dark skeletons start rattling around in the collective closet of this picture-perfect American town.
I couldn't help thinking of Suicide Club at this point, even though the majority of the plot bears almost no resemblance from here on out, but the connection to the late 90's Japanese horror is undeniable. We've got all of the expected tropes from the curse that is passed along like a virus to the psychological implications of water and even a black-haired pasty spectre. Really, there is no surprise that this was written by the same guy who peened the script for The Grudge 3 but the interesting thing here is how he uses those tropes and that style of horror.
Instead of the usual American retreads of Japanese films that tended to crib plot points without understanding the cultural psychology that made them work so well for their home audiences, this is an original film that ties this approach directly to the collective American unconscious by way of a bit of the Crucible. The template may have come from Japan, but the meat is 100% pure American diatribe against the evils of unquestioned religious fervor and what I am certain is a comment on the causes and effects of the "war on terror". And all of this is done from what is, at its heart, a riff on Romeo and Juliet.
For those of you worried about the details: Director Phedon Papamichael (mostly known as a cinematographer for films like Patch Adams, Identity, Sideways, W. and the mighty Prayer of the Rollerboys) shows a good eye for expressive scenery and the patience necessary to let this story play out as it needs to. Elizabeth Rice (Lindsay) nailed the confusion, anger, frustration and pain of a girl caught in the middle while almost everyone else played their single note characters well but without major impact. I don't remember a single thing about the soundtrack except the haunting folk song that played over the opening credits, plaintively asking: "This voice, is it calling for you?"
Unfortunately, there are some rather clumsy "scare" scenes involving the spectres that haunt future victims that border on laughable due in part to sub-par CG work but mostly because of how out-of-sync they were with the overall feel of the film. Further, the fact that so many of the characters are so incredibly thin is a bit grating. I get that this is part of the argument that religion that is untempered by thought and basic humanity does reduce you to a caricature of a person, but it still bugged me a bit. However, those problems don't hurt it at all as long as this is your type of horror.
As a caveat, the grue is minimal, though there is a decent neck stabbing, and there is nary a tit to be seen during the whole damn thing. Call it classy or call it pretentious but it is what it is and it does that quite well.

In a landscape that is constantly changing, everyday is an adventure in this magical place.


Good question. We are meeting with a group of Stem Cell Experts in Guizhou province in China. Its mainly for cancer however I will find out what other applications are relevant. Actually, I doubt it is going to be for IC-BPS.
Is stem cell therapy working along the same lines as ozone and hyperbaric therapy for bladder repair?
I know of a few people who have had stem cell treatment in the US and it's been very costly. 6-10,000 USD, but they did achieve remission for some time.
I have emailed the people in California about stem cells and IC. Ill put my hand up for it if it comes to Australia. Apparently they had had some good results with many people. Please god make the pain go away. I would sell my house and everything I own for relief - I don't care about the cost.
Why don't we do hyper baric therapy here? Is it available? I heard it has put people in remission for up to a year.
I am happy to be a guinea pig for the Chinese.
Dantheman - we do have hyperbaric therapy in Australia. Djokovic sat in the chamber between tennis matches during the Australian open. But as far as I know, hyperbaric and ozone therapy works by sending high dose oxygen to cells in damaged tissue to help repair and regenerate. We would have to assume symptoms are caused only by damage to the bladder lining for it to work.
Apparently stem cells for anything other than fat or cartilage are quite some time off, but perhaps he would be a useful contact in future?
Here is information about 'pluripotent stem cells' which is a newly discovered type of stem cell that has "the potential to develop into every cell in the body, effectively allowing researchers to heal any type of tissue."
Japanese scientists recently released results of a pilot study where they used pluripotent stem cells (from the skin) to partially restore sight in a patient with macular degeneration.
The stem cell treatment is a very exciting field. As the cells are your own one would not expect rejection.
I had an optic nerve stroke in 2014 and have lost much of the sight in one eye to this is of great interest to me, as possible treatment for both IC and Eye issues.
Have just found a very interesting article in regards to stem cell as treatment for Bladder problems.
Hope the Prof will have time to take a look at this, a bit complicated for me to understand it all but sure the Prof will have no issue.
Still think stem cell is a long term hope as it does not involved the taking of chemicals.
A very brief summary of the article is below - I hope it brings hope to some of you.
In summary, voiding dysfunction and urinary incontinence constitute a variety of common disorders affecting millions of men and women worldwide. Current treatments are limited and do not address the underlying pathophysiology of disorder or disease, nor do they repair damaged or diseased tissue to restore normal function. In contrast to current therapies, stem cells have emerged as an exciting treatment avenue targeting disease progression and potentially correcting pathophysiology. Although many challenges remain to be addressed before clinical implementation of this technology, preclinical animal and early clinical studies show promise in the use of stem cell therapy for voiding dysfunction and urinary incontinence.

Materials 'calling for the death of gay people' found in UK schools, Ofsted chief says
Nick Duffy October 31, 2018
Stock photo. The school is facing a 'civil war' against LGBT students.
Materials calling for gay people to be put to death have been found in schools operating across the UK, according to the country's most senior schools inspector.
Amanda Spielman, the chief inspector of schools watchdog Ofsted, made the claim Wednesday in a letter to the UK Parliament's Public Accounts Committee.
In the letter, Spielman calls for new powers to tackle illegal unregistered schools, which operate without permission and often teach a narrow, fundamentalist faith-based curriculum.
Amanda Spielman (UK Parliament)
She said: "My inspectors have been shocked by what they have found in these schools (…) in some schools we see extremely worrying material.
Spielman explained: "We have, for instance, found books that say it is acceptable for men to use physical violence against their wives, texts that say it is unacceptable for women to refuse sex to their husbands and literature calling for the death of gay people.
"These texts have no place in young people's education."
Spielman said: "This material has been found in poorly performing registered independent schools and even in a maintained community school, but also in unregistered schools, where our powers to tackle it are far more limited."
She explained that Ofsted's "current lack of powers to seize evidence means that we are tackling this problem with one hand tied behind our back."
The schools inspector's letter adds that "the number of children disappearing from the formal system and into unregulated, unregistered provision (…) is perhaps my greatest concern as chief inspector."

It is a crime in the UK to operate an unregistered school.
In 2016, Ofsted launched a probe into unregistered schools operated in London by ultra-Orthodox Jewish groups.
As many as 20 illegal Charedi schools were thought to be in operation across the capital, many of which are registered as religious charities.
Several faith schools have also faced punishment for anti-LGBT+ teachings.
An investigation in 2014 found that Christian faith schools were using textbooks developed by US evangelicals, teaching that homosexuality is a choice, evolution is a lie, abortion is wrong, and HIV/AIDS can be avoided by following the bible.
A group of private Christian schools threatened legal action in 2016 after having their status downgraded by education watchdog Ofsted, partly for failing to "promote respect" for LGBT+ people and British values.
Elsewhere in the letter, the chief inspector warned about the "undue influence" of outside groups advocating "for changes in school policy on the basis of religion or culture" in schools across the UK, which "can lead to the curtailing of rights of other protected groups."

China Could Use Mineral Supply As Trade Secret Weapon

The visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to the factory the manufactures magnets out of rare earth minerals attracted the attention of the international media, escalating concern of critics that the elements might be weaponized as the trade war continues.
Many believe that the Asian country could use the minerals, essential to global manufacturing and a sector that China dominates, to strike back at the Trump administration after he raised tariffs on Chinese goods and the ban of Chinese firm Huawei from purchasing tech supplies from United States firms. The Chinese president, however, did not threaten to block the supply of the minerals to the United States.
The rare earth minerals are also called the "vitamins of chemistry" since a small amount of the minerals produces powerful effects. A small amount of cerium could brighten a TV screen, expand battery life, and make magnets stronger. Global production of tech will fail if China suddenly blocks access to these materials.
However, some experts are less concerned about the effects of the blockage of the minerals. Experts believe that the United States and the rest of the world will adapt in time. According to Tim Worstall, a former trade and commodities blogger commented that if China cuts of supply entirely then there are short term solvable problems.
China owns a significant deposit of the rare earth minerals, a group of 17 elements, but it is also present in many countries including Brazil, Canada, Australia, India, and the United States. The mining of the minerals is difficult because they are mostly found in concentrated lumps. The minerals are chemically sociable elements that can bind with other compounds and minerals. The process of extracting rare-earths from common earth is lengthy and harrowing.
Eugene Gholz, a rare earth expert and associate professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame, said that once you take it out of the ground, the big challenge is chemistry, not mining, converting the rare earth from rock to separated elements.
The impact if the blockage is still not clear. It is, however, certain that it could affect China's trading partners, including Japan and South Korea. Gary Liu, a Shanghai-based economist, said that limits on rare earth would affect many countries.
It is also unclear that China will use the minerals as a weapon. A Chinese spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry advised reporters on Wednesday not to read too much on the visit of the president to the magnet factory.
