2017 Jordan Science For Peace Declaration underlines the 8th World Science Forum's commitment to the responsible and ethical use of scientific knowledge in addressing the great challenges of humankind, more equitable use of natural and human resources and commits to promote diversity in science. Participants pledge to create a regional science forum for the Arab World.
Participants and partner organisations have come to a conclusion of the largest ever generalist science gathering in the Middle East held from 7-10 November at the Dead Sea. The meeting, that has brought together over 3,000 delegates from over 120 countries adopted the Declaration on Science for Peace calling for a global action to build a future that promises greater equality, security and opportunity for all, and in which science plays an increasingly prominent role as an enabler of fair and sustainable development.
The Declaration asserts that 'Peace' is far more than the absence of conflict. It implies an absence of fear and the full realisation of a whole and healthy life. It encompasses an equal access to the resources and potential of our planet.
'Science for Peace' signifies a call for the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals, and for the promise of hope and opportunity in the lives of all people in a world where borders must matter little as we struggle to build a better, and inevitably shared future.

Making Marriage Last – Do Atheists Do It Better?
0 0 Monday, November 04, 2013 Edit this post
By Valerie Tarico ~
Conservative Christians think of themselves as the last line of defense for a time honored and holy tradition, marriage. In the conservative Christian view, marriage is a sacred union ordained by God. It binds one man and woman together so that the "two become one flesh" until they are parted by death.
This view of marriage is unbiblical, to be sure. See Captive Virgins, Polygamy, Sex Slaves: What Marriage Would Look Like If We Actually Followed The Bible. But hey, who actually reads the Bible? Surely, what God meant to say, is that marriage should take the form that is most familiar and traditional to us: One male plus one female who is given to the male by her father--that part is biblical--for life.
In this worldview, Christian marriage is under assault by an anti-trinity of powerful and dark forces: feminism, homosexuality, and godlessness. Faith, on the other hand, saves both souls and marriages. When I was young, a slogan made its way around my church, The family that prays together stays together. Dr. Tom Ellis, former chairman of the Southern Baptist Convention's Council on the Family boldly claimed that "...born-again Christian couples who marry...in the church after having received premarital counseling...and attend church regularly and pray daily together... experience only 1 divorce out of nearly 39,000 marriages."
But then came data. According to Barna research over a decade ago, American divorce rates were highest among Baptists and nondenominational "Bible-believing" Christians and lower among more theologically liberal Christians like Methodists, with atheists at the bottom of the divorce pack. When the findings were made public, George Barna took some heat, and Ellis suggested that maybe he had sampled badly. Perhaps some people who called themselves born again had never really devoted their lives to Christ. But Barna held his ground, saying, "We rarely find substantial differences" [in the moral behavior of Christians and non-Christians].
Fancy that.
In 2008, Barna again sampled Americans about divorce rates. The numbers fluctuated a bit, but once again atheists came out painfully good from a prays-together-stays-together perspective. Thirty percent reported being ever divorced, roughly equivalent to thirty-two percent of born-again Christians. Slicing the U.S. by region, the Bible belt has the highest divorce rate, and this has been the case for over a decade, with the institution of marriage faring better in those dens of blue-state iniquity to the north and west.
What is going on? Even some secularists are puzzled. Churches provide strong communities for families. Many offer marital counseling and parenting classes. Love, they say, is a commitment, not a feeling. God hates divorce. They leverage moral emotions in the service of matrimony: a righteous sense of purity rewards premarital abstinence and post-marital monogamy—replaced by guilt and shame when nonmarital sex is unveiled or a marriage dissolves. Couples who split may find themselves removed from leadership positions or even ostracized. On the face of it, even if there were no God, one might expect this combination to produce lower divorce rates.
The reality, however, appears complex. Churches do honor and support marriage. They also may inadvertently promote divorce, especially—ironically—those churches which most bill themselves as shining lights in a dark world.
To prevent that greatest-of-all-evils, abortion, such communities teach even high school students to embrace surprise pregnancies as gifts from God. They encourage members to marry young so they won't be tempted to fornicate. But women who give birth or marry young tend to end up less educated and less financially secure, both of which are correlated with higher divorce rates.
After marriage, some congregations, like those in the "quiver-full movement" encourage couples to leave family planning in God's hands. Leaders echo the chauvinistic beliefs of Church fathers like St. Augustine and Martin Luther or the Bible writers: Women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety (1 Timothy 2:15). Such teachings grow congregations, literally, from the nursery up, but the very same attitudes that help to fill church pews can erode marital bliss. Ample research shows that for couples under age 30 marital satisfaction declines with the birth of each child. (Parenting tends to make couples happier only after age 40, when kids become more independent, and only in countries with comparatively weak social supports for aging adults.)
Secular couples increasingly see both marriage and divorce as personal choices. Overall, a lower percent get married, which means that those who do may be particularly committed or well-suited to partnership. They are likely to be older if/when they do formally tie the knot. They have fewer babies, and their babies are more likely to be planned. Parenting, like other household responsibilities, is more likely to be egalitarian rather than based on the traditional model of "male headship." Each of these factors could play a role in the divorce rate.
But a bigger factor may be economics, pure and simple. In the words of some analysts, marriage is becoming a luxury good, with each partner, consciously or subconsciously looking for someone who will pull their weight financially and declining to support one who won't. "The doctor used to marry the nurse," says Brad Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia. "Today the doctor marries the doctor." Sixty percent of college educated women get married, as compared to fifty percent of women who hold only high school degrees or lower. Couples who stay married also tend to be wealthier than those who divorce. In Barna's 2008 sample, couples with an income of less than $20,000 a year broke up almost twice as often as those earning $75,000 or more (39 percent vs 22 percent). Advocates who want to promote traditional marriage might do well to foster broad prosperity.
Even if they did, though, they might be swimming upstream. In 1960, almost three quarters of American adults were married; by 2008 that number had fallen to a half. The difference came from a combination of two factors—more divorce and more people who had never married. The concept of family isn't becoming less important, but Americans are more and more flexible in how we define the term. Over 80 percent say that a single parent living with a child or an unmarried couple with a child is a family. Over 60 percent say that a gay couple with a child is a family. A growing number say that marriage is obsolete.
In one of those peculiar twists of fate, conservative Christian obsessions with abortion and sexual purity may be accelerating this trend. Naomi Cahn and June Carbone, authors of Red State, Blue State, propose that Bible-belt opposition to abortion has increased the non-marital birthrate and acceptance of single parent families:
The working class had long dealt with the inconvenient fact of an accidental pregnancy through the shotgun marriage. As blue-collar jobs paying a family wage have disappeared, however, so has early marriage. Women are then left with two choices: They can delay childbearing (which might entail getting an abortion at some point) until the right man comes along or get more comfortable with the idea of becoming single mothers. College-educated elites have endorsed the first option, but everyone else is drifting toward the second.
Conservative Christians thought they could have it all by promoting abstinence until marriage. But virginity pledges and abstinence only education have failed. If anything, they have once again accelerated the trend, leaving Christian leaders fumbling for answers. Some hope that more flexible, egalitarian roles for Christian wives and husbands may be the answer. Others think that doubling down on traditional gender roles is where it's at. Either way, gone is the bravado that once proclaimed marital salvation by faith alone. "Marriages and families within faith communities are no healthier than in the rest of society," concedes Christian author Jonathan Merritt. "Faith communities must provide support systems to salvage damaged marriages." Whether the institution of marriage itself can or should be salvaged is, perhaps, a question none of us are prepared to answer.
Do atheists do it better? That is unlikely. Divorce rate differences between theists and nontheists tend to depend on how you slice the demographic pie, and for both groups, the shape of marriage itself is changing. As culture evolves, we're all in uncharted territory together.

Florida Lawmaker: Require Schools Screen D'Souza Movie Because 'The Truth Will Set You Free'
By Brian Tashman | July 29, 2014 3:00 pm
Florida state senator D. Alan Hays is defending his bill to require public school students to watch conservative activist Dinesh D'Souza's anti-Obama movie "America" by arguing that the movie will help to "remove politics from the educational system" and also turn kids against President Obama.
"I think the educational system failure is the biggest reason that the current occupant of the White House sits there. I think his occupancy of the White House is an indictment of our educational system all across America and we need to get back to teaching the truth," Hays said in an interview with Newsmax today. "We need to remove politics from the educational system, we need to teach history as it happened and teach it truthfully showing the whole story, and that's what this movie does quite well."
When asked, however, the Republican lawmaker could not name a single example of a "mistruth" taught in public schools.
Hays made a similar statement in an interview with pseudo-historian David Barton last month, when he contended that the "embarrassment" of President Obama's election is proof that "our students have not been properly educated."
In the Newsmax appearance, Hays predicted that his bill will pass the state legislature and earn the support of Gov. Rick Scott since D'Souza's movie is about the truth and "the truth will set you free." Critics, he alleged, are simply "afraid of the truth."
"I will put Americanism and patriotism right up beside any other system that anybody wants to put at it, and give them honest presentations, I guarantee you that Americanism is going to win every time," he continued. "My word to anybody of another thought process: bring it on. Are you afraid of the truth? And if you're not, then don't object to showing this movie."

Healthgrades' CareChats Aims to Tear Down Doctor-Patient Wall
By David Jones
Healthgrades, an online resource to provide consumers with information about physicians and hospitals, on Wednesday launched CareChats, a tool that allows encrypted text and email conversations between patients and their healthcare providers.
Developed in partnership with Conversa, CareChats enables doctors and hospitals to communicate with patients outside of visits. Among its uses are management of chronic conditions, communications before and after surgery, and lifestyle health coaching.
CareChats alerts providers when intervention is required, according to the companies, and encourages patients to either book an appointment online or contact doctors directly.
"Conversa's innovative, scalable and reliable technology delivers an innovative and meaningful way for physicians, care teams and patients to communicate outside of office visits," said Chris Edwards, chief marketing and experience officer at Conversa.
This approach leads "to more meaningful conversations and exchanges of information and overall better care," he told CRM Buyer.
The CareChats tool integrates with the Healthgrades CRM platform, which is used to help doctors and hospitals better manage and communicate with existing and prospective patients.
Several major healthcare systems have used CareChats to help doctors and other hospital staff manage patients with chronic illnesses and for other purposes.
Ochsner Health System, for example, instituted a pilot program in which primary care doctors prescribed the CareChats tool for patients with uncontrolled hypertension. The doctors were able to have real-time conversations with patients using personal medical data to drill down for the best treatment options.
Penrose-St. Francis Health Services used CareChats as a tool for digital health coaches in a pilot program last year.
Citrus Valley Health Partners used CareChats in a program to meet requirements set by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' bundled payment program for total hip and knee replacements.
Growing Market
The CareChats tool reflects a trend toward automating doctor-patient communications to fill the gap between office appointments, medical procedures and testing, which is important particularly in managing chronic illness, observed Victor Kamlek, a telehealth analyst at Frost & Sullivan.
"In the predigital world, communications that were very important were not always very successful," he told CRM Buyer.
A doctor might not be able to reach a patient after a surgical procedure to convey valuable information, for example.
The biggest obstacle to growing the doctor-patient communications market isn't developing the technology — it's getting the insurance industry on board, Kamlek said. "There are a lot of hurdles that need to be crossed before this is a totally accepted market."

News, Reviews and Features 'A hugely frustrating watch': I & YOU – Hampstead Theatre
'A hugely frustrating watch': I & YOU – Hampstead Theatre
In London theatre, Opinion, Plays, Reviews by Ian Foster 27th October 2018 Leave a Comment
Hampstead Theatre, London – until 24 November 2018
I could try and write about Lauren Gunderson's play I & You without giving away the twist, or even the fact that there is a twist, but I don't want to. Perhaps, I won't reveal specific details but in some ways, just knowing there's a rug-pull on the way can significantly alter the way you experience a show (whether on stage or on screen – it will be a job and a half trying to get through GoT's final season free from any spoileriffic noise).
But back to the Hampstead, and this slight two-hander with its substantial delusions of grandeur. Picking at overworked teen-movie tropes, Caroline and Anthony are two teenagers whose growing connection forms the bedrock of the play. She's waiting for an organ transplant and so not going into school; he's got her latest poetry homework assignment and though they don't know each so well, they're destined to get on in a heady mix of hormones and Walt Whitman.
And so we go, meet-cutting the heck out of this thing. She's winsomely ill, he's a sporty jock; she's a free spirit, he's the studious one; she's white and he's black; could I make it any more obvious. Initial antagonism (such shouting…) turns to quick friendship turns to the potential of something more and then…and then… And then the whole frigging world of the play is whipped out from under you with a twist that just made me go 'you have got to be kidding right?!'.
I love a good twist, I really do, but what Gunderson does here is to basically undercut everything that has gone before. And not in an intelligent, makes-you-want-to-rewatch-the-whole-damn-thing kind of way but in a cheap, 'Gotcha!' fashion. There are some aspects which suddenly make more sense but there's also a lot which still sits awkwardly, not least the attempts to evoke contemporary teen life which neither Edward Hall's production nor Gunderson's writing manage.
Despite all this, Maisie Williams and Zach Wyatt make solidly impressive stage debuts, especially when the play calms down midway through and there's some intriguing chat between them (would I have enjoyed it more if I had any opinion about Walt Whitman I wonder?) But they're elevating material which is fatally cheapened in the final analysis and so the whole thing proves a hugely frustrating watch. Want to see dead people? Put The Sixth Sense on instead.
Since 2003, Ian Foster has been writing reviews of plays, sometimes with a critical element, on his blog Ought to Be Clowns, which has been listed as one of the UK's Top Ten Theatre Blogs by Lastminute.com, Vuelio and Superbreak. He averages more than 350+ shows a year. He says: "Call me a reviewer, a critic or a blogger, and you will apparently put someone or other's nose out of joint! So take it or leave it, essentially this is my theatrical diary, recording everything I go to see at the theatre in London and beyond, and venturing a little into the worlds of music and film/TV where theatrical connections can be made."

A GRAPHIC DESIGN LONDON WEBSITE


It was enough to cause the Scots to - ahem - get their Irish up. From London comes word that Independent Television (ITV), a consortium of production companies that competes for viewers with the BBC, has apologized for opening last Saturday's "Dumb Foreigners" program with the Scottish flag, the Saltire. The show itself featured no Scots, but the incident prompted almost 200 complaints. Harrumphed the Saltire Society, anyone "who insults the Scottish flag deserves to have their knuckles rapped." Wait, protested an ITV spokeswoman, it was a "graphics error" and, anyway, "Scotland obviously is not a foreign country."

A large-scale, regular intergalactic magnetic field associated with Stephan's Quintet?
NIKIEL-WROCZYNSKI B., SOIDA M., HEALD G. and URBANIK M.
Regular magnetic fields are frequently found within and in the outskirts of galaxies, but their presence, properties, and origin has not yet been established for galaxy groups. On the basis of broadband radio polarimetric imaging with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope, we made use of rotation measure synthesis to disentangle contributions from magnetic fields on various scales for several polarized radio sources inside, behind, or in the vicinity of Stephan's Quintet (HCG 92, SQ). We recognize the signature of a large-scale, genuinely regular, magnetized screen, seemingly constrained to the Quintet itself. Although we cannot exclude a contribution from the Milky Way, our analysis favors a magnetic structure within the SQ system. If indeed associated with the galaxy group in question, it would span a volume of at least 60 x 40 x 20 kpc and have a strength at least as high as that previously detected within large spiral galaxies. This field would then surpass the extent of any other known galactic, regular magnetic fields; have a considerable strength of a few microgauss; and would be the first known example of such a structure in a galaxy system other than a galaxy pair. Several other explanations are also presented and evaluated.

Bill introduced to protect, regulate personal data in Puerto Rico
By María Miranda on March 25, 2019
NPP Senate Majority Leader Carmelo Ríos (CB Photo)
Would require companies to eliminate data at customer's request
SAN JUAN – Puerto Rico Senate Majority Spokesman Carmelo Ríos introduced legislation Monday that seeks to regulate the use of personal digital information that companies have access to. Senate Bill 1231 would create the Digital Privacy Protection Act.
At a news conference, Ríos said that to guarantee an individual's right to privacy, the law would include information that is registered in automated databases and even private sector business manuals.
The bill explains that many companies compile extensive personal information on consumers in Puerto Rico that "is not essential or necessary" for the provision of their services.
Due to the absence of parameters, companies that compile the data are able to sell or transfer the information to others, without a customer's permission or consent.
The New Progressive Party (NPP) lawmaker said he was concerned about the absence of local legislation that regulates the practice.
"The laws and existing regulations to protect an individual's privacy have not been up to par with the growth of personal information disclosed in our society, which can reveal almost a consumer's entire life," he said. "Currently, the government of Puerto Rico doesn't have legislation or the focus necessary to address and protect the growing avalanche of personal information. In the absence of federal legislation that [can] effectively protect this right, it's necessary to legislate and fill that void to protect the digital privacy [of consumers]."
Ríos further noted that it "wasn't until after the Facebook and Cambridge Analytica scandal" that the idea to protect an individual's digital privacy and the first comprehensive legislation was implemented in California last year. "In fact, as recently as this January, Washington became the second state that introduced a measure on this issue," he said.
The legislation would establish that consumers have the right to require that companies holding their personal information not sell it to a third party.
Before selling any information, the entity that compiled the data would be forced to notify individuals that their personal information may be sold. Furthermore, consumers would need to be informed about their rights if they oppose the action. In addition, if the company understands that the security of data has been breached, affected consumers would have to be notified within 72 hours.
Meanwhile, if an entity receives a request from a consumer asking for their personal information to be excluded, it would have to eliminate the data from its records and databases and advise any service providers with which the data was shared to do so as well.
To facilitate access to the personal information a company may hold, it must offer consumers more than two methods–such as a toll-free number, a website and physical address–to which the request for disclosure can be made.
Another stipulation provides that individuals who have been affected by the disclosure of personal information can take the matter to court or file for a review with the Consumer Affairs Department.

Los Angeles, March 30, 2019 — On March 26 and 27, during a series of recruitments held in Artsakh, a total of 350 supporters joined the Armenian Bone Marrow Donor Registry (ABMDR), for a chance to help save the lives of patients in need of bone marrow stem cell transplants. The recruitments, held in collaboration with the Health Ministry of Artsakh, took place at the police headquarters of the republic, Artsakh State University, Shushi College of Technology, Stepanakert Medical College, and Artsakh State Medical Center.
Following the recruitments, on March 28, Artsakh Health Minister Arayik Baghryan, who himself joined ABMDR as a potential bone marrow stem cell donor, met with the registry's Executive Director, Dr. Sevak Avagyan, at the Health Ministry. During the meeting, Dr. Avagyan conveyed his gratitude to Minister Baghryan for facilitating and supporting ABMDR's donor recruitments, as well as outreach events, throughout Artsakh. On his part, Minister Baghryan thanked Dr. Avagyan for continuing to encompass Artsakh in ABMDR's life-saving mission, and stressed the far-reaching significance of maintaining a robust registry of potential bone marrow stem cell donors.

I love wedding photography in Atlanta! As a wedding photographer in the metro area I get to shoot at so many locations. When I meet with a couple I try to find out where they meet and get to know them more than just as a photographer. This wonderful couple meet at Emory University and feel in love. They could have not been nicer! When I found out that they meet at Emory I said why don't we do your wedding photos there. They have a great campus with so many places to shoot at! She agreed, he agreed and finally the weather agreed! Using just natural light we had such a fun time with the wedding photos.
When we got there we meet the family and did the first look. They were so thoughtful towards each other. They exchanged vows to each other with the family and parents present. Once they were finished they wanted to get out there and do their photos.
We started at the business school and ended up at the quad in the middle of campus. The lighting was perfect! They had such a great attitude and were such fun to shoot. She braved the slight chill in the air. During the photo session they just laughed and had such a great time while their friends cheered them on.
Thank you so much for visiting www.atlantaartsiticweddings.com . I would love to hear from you. Please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to help in any way that I can.

Bo 92 var en bomässa som hölls 26 juli – 20 augusti 1992 i Örebro. Mässan drevs som ett företag med Örebro kommun som initiativtagare och ägare och resulterade i en helt ny stadsdel på delar av Gamla Örebro flygfält i stadens södra utkant; Ladugårdsängen. Det var första gången som ett helt nytt område uppfördes under en bomässa. Förutom Ladugårdsängen, som omfattade nybyggda bostäder i 13 kvarter med omkring 900 lägenheter, villor, kontorshus, butiker och en skola, byggdes ett kvarter i centrala Örebro, Smedjebacken, mellan Alnängsgatan och Slottsgatan  .

Temat för mässan var ekologi och miljö och de inbjudna arkitekterna fick i uppdrag att integrera olika grupper av människor genom en variation av lägenhetstyper. Detta har visat sig fungera i det variationsrika Ladugårdsängen. Ett annat krav var att man inte skulle fokusera på den klassiska kärnfamiljen vid utformningen.

REVIEW: Murmurs on Memory and The Glass Menagerie (Guthrie)
by Bev Wolfe - October 3, 2019 October 28, 2019

Memories are a funny thing. The past is more dependent on the memory-teller's viewpoint than it is on what actually occurred in the past. Tennessee William's classic play The Glass Menagerie deals with the unique affect that memories, regardless of their accuracy, can have on our lives. In directing Menagerie at the Guthrie, Artistic Director Joseph Haj adroitly focuses on memories and how they bring both joy and despair into one's life.
The emphasis on memory becomes clear in the beginning when the narrator Tom, played by Remy Auberjonois, appears as a middle age man both when narrating and in playing the younger Tom. Initially, I felt having the middle-aged Tom in both roles just didn't work, but changed my mind as the play progressed. Why? I realized that we are seeing the entire play though the viewpoint of the middle-aged Tom – so there is no younger Tom left to portray the story. Auberjonois deftly plays Tom with a sense of humor, which injects a level of hilarity into the entire production while still showing Tom's despair.

Tom sees his mother Amanda, played by Jennifer Van Dyck, as a hypercritical mother and nag who makes his life hell. But Van Dyck shows us a multifaceted Amanda. Even if Tom does not see her good points, his memories are sufficient to show us that Amanda is a strong woman. Despite the desertion of his husband, she managed to keep her remaining family intact and care for her physically and emotionally disabled daughter. At times, Van Dyck's Amanda can appear to be self-centered focusing on her memories of multiple gentleman callers in the past, but these apparently exaggerated memories bring her only joy. (Look for subtle changes in the lighting design by Christopher Akerlind during several of these scenes.) Amanda is also fiercely protective of her daughter Laura. Amanda puts a great burden on her son to be the breadwinner for the family forcing him to work a job he detests. But she recognizes that it is a burden, seeking a solution that will leave Laura taken care of and free Tom to pursue his desired adventures.
Tom loves his sister Laura, played by Carey Cox, but perceives her as weak and peculiar. Cox succeeds in playing Laura as fragile when it comes to facing the outside word. But Cox's Laura also shows strength when she acts as the family peacemaker and becomes protective of Amanda when Tom tries to shut down one of Amanda's strolls down memory lane. Laura's strength is also seen when she grows more confident during her meeting with her brother's work friend, Jim O'Connor (Grayson DeJesus). She overcomes her initial shyness and starts talking openly with O'Connor about her limited life and her glass menagerie. With her openness, she succeeds in making herself desirable to O'Connor.
Jim O'Connor (played by Grayson DeJesus) and Laura Wingfield (Carey Cox) connect during a blackout. Photo by T Charles Erickson.
Our experience of the play's memory concept is somewhat inconsistent, as when Tom recalls key scenes with dialogue details despite not being present. The first scene occurs in the beginning when Tom's mother Amanda confronts his sister Laura about her failure to attend business school. The second occurs when Laura spends time alone with O'Connor. Once one realizes that Tom could have only heard about these events second-hand or simply made assumptions about what occurred, they take on new meaning, leading one to wonder if Tom correctly interpreted these moments or are they distorted by his guilt.
At the end of the play, the middle-aged Tom is a haunted figure, plagued by the assumption that his desertion of Laura and Amanda resulted in tragedy. He would prefer to forget about Laura than deal with his conduct but he can't seem to do either. Yet Tom's memory of how his leaving affected Laura might be skewed. Life may not have been easy, but it is hard to imagine that the fierce Amanda would have just given up after Tom left. She is a fighter and odds are she may have helped Laura survive and maybe even thrive. Although Laura was devastated when she learned the truth about O'Connor, she still managed to part with her most beloved glass piece. Did this signify that Laura was giving up or did it show she was finally ready to move beyond her glass menagerie and make a place for herself in the world?
Even if Amanda and Laura survived and possibly prospered after Tom left, it makes no difference to Tom's fate. Haj's production shows that because Tom exiled himself from his family, he is only left with his guilt-ridden memories…leaving no hope of finding absolution.
The Glass Menagerie plays at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis through October 27, 2019.

Krita Foundation announced their third Kickstarter project to fund development of new text and vector tools. With the proposed features, the team aims to improve the user experience for, among others, comic book and webcomic artists.
24/08/2015 · CMYK is supported by Krita. Gimp has a plugin for CMYK, which, if you can figure out how to get it installed, does work (or at least I think I got it to work). If you're trying to stay away from CMYK, the program XnConvert is an awesome tool for converting any kind of image to a more reasonable format.

Bei den Megalithen am Hochrhein handelt es sich um Relikte einer Urkultur, die sich vor 7000 Jahren an der Atlantikküste Westeuropas und im westlichen Mittelmeerraum zu verbreiten begann. Sie ging vor 4500 Jahren durch eine Invasion indogermanischer Völker aus dem Osten, den nach ihrer Gebrauchskeramik als "Glockenbecherkultur" benannten Gruppen, unter. Die dabei festgestellten Zerstörungen oder Nachnutzungen datieren in den Zeitraum von 2300 bis 2100 vor Christus.

Im Hochrheingebiet, das in der Literatur zur Megalithkultur zumeist noch außerhalb entsprechender Kartierungen liegt – registrierte Vorkommen enden hier am östlichen Rand von Schwarzwald und den Alpen –, war als Besonderheit nur der Langenstein an der Wutach bei Tiengen bekannt, ergänzt seit den 1950er Jahren durch die Aufdeckung des Großsteingrabes mit dem "Menhir von Degernau".

In den letzten Jahrzehnten fielen Althistorikern und Heimatforschern Überlieferungen und Entdeckungen vor allem nördlich des Hochrheins auf und in jüngerer Zeit nahm die Fachöffentlichkeit Menhire und Dolmen auch im nördlichen Alpenraum und entlang des Hochrheins wahr.

Allgemeine Verbreitung und Zeitstellung
Wissenschaftlich fällt die Zeitspanne der Megalithen in die Jungsteinzeit, die jedoch von 11.500 bis 2800–2200 v. Chr. (Endneolithikum) angesetzt ist und deshalb pauschal mit noch primitiven Gesellschaftsformen gleichgesetzt wird. Die Technologie der Megalithkultur gibt jedoch ähnliche Rätsel auf wie das Ägypten des Pyramidenbaues. Bemerkenswert ist, dass die frühen Megalith-Großbauten noch vor den ersten Pyramiden entstanden.

Bekannt sind heute vor allem Steinmonumente – von der britischen bis zur spanisch-portugiesischen Atlantikküste und im Mittelmeerraum auch riesige Grabbauten und eine Vielzahl von Steinkreisen. Diese bestehen aus Menhiren in oft exakter geometrischer Anlage, vor allem in der französischen Bretagne. Auch in Nordeuropa sind Steinsetzungen vorhanden. Im Mittelmeerraum existiert eine Vielzahl von Monumenten an der nordafrikanischen Küste bis Libyen und auf den Inseln, vor allem auf Malta.

Verbreitung im Hochrheingebiet
Karten über die angenommene Verbreitung der Menhire in Europa, in Nordafrika und Vorderasien zeigten bis vor kurzer Zeit selbst in der hochrangigen Forschungsliteratur die Alpen-Region und die inneren Landmassen des europäischen Kontinents östlich des Rheins als 'weißen Fleck'. Auch im süddeutschen Raum sollten nach diesen Darstellungen keine Megalithbauten existieren.

Der Oberrhein und die Rhone befanden sich jedoch noch im Einzugsbereich dieser Karten und auch aufgrund der geographischen Gegebenheiten war anzunehmen, dass es entlang dem fruchtbaren Hochrheintal von Basel bis zum Bodensee eine 'Megalith-Infrastruktur' gegeben haben dürfte.

Dies hat sich seit der Nachkriegszeit bestätigt, als Heimatforscher begannen, Beobachtungen und Berichte aus dem 19. Jahrhundert auszuwerten, Fundstellen zu überprüfen und zu publizieren.

Spuren der Megalithkultur am Hochrhein

Die Megalithen am Hochrhein stellen ein Ensemble von einigen bekannten und zahlreichen selbst vor Ort kaum bekannten Objekten in Südbaden dar, die nur in Einzelfällen in der übergreifenden Fachliteratur erfasst sind. Neben dem Menhir und dem Dolmen von Degernau fand nur noch der Langenstein bei Tiengen Eingang in Verzeichnisse archäologischer Stätten und in die überregionale Literatur. In den regionalen Überlieferungen sind sie jedoch durchaus bekannt, auch wenn das Wissen darüber erst nach neueren Ausgrabungen in Westeuropa und durch die Radiokarbonmethode (Altersmessung) im Zusammenhang erweitert werden konnte.

Am Hochrhein finden sich noch zwei der hier relativ kleinen Großsteingräber, auch Dolmen genannt. Es kann jedoch davon ausgegangen werden, dass noch vor 150 bis 200 Jahren viele weitere existierten. Sie wurden häufig für den Straßenbau zerschlagen und zu Schotter verarbeitet, später ebenfalls für die Anlage der Gleisdämme der Eisenbahn.

Standort-Dokument

Neben dem Menhir und dem Dolmen von Degernau sowie dem Tiengener Langenstein sind, durch eine Karte des verstorbenen Erzinger Bauunternehmers Hans Parodi, die Standorte weiterer Menhire und Megalith-Bauwerke am Hochrhein markiert.

Hans Parodi hatte die Wiederaufrichtung des Menhirs von Degernau 1971 technisch ausgeführt.

Die Karte bezeichnet ungefähre Ortsangaben bei Wehr und Rheinfelden bis Nöggenschwiel/Brenden und Dettighofen. Unklar ist die Eintragung eines stehenden und eines liegenden Menhir sowie eines Grabbaues nördlich von Tiengen.

Dolmen
Neben Schwörstadt im Kreis Lörrach ist Degernau der einzige Fundort eines Großsteingrabes nördlich des Hochrhein.

Degernau (Wutöschingen)

"Hauptlehrer Schneider, Freiburg, der lange Jahre in Degernau wirkte, hat 1954 im Gewann 'Toter Mann' oder 'Am langen Stein', wie es früher genannt wurde, die Überreste eines Megalith- oder Großsteingrabes aus der Zeit um 3000 v. Chr. gefunden. An der einen Seitenwand befand sich das für diese Oberflächen-Kastengräber übliche ovale Einstieg- oder Seelenloch, durch das die Toten in die Grabkammer gebracht worden sind, worauf dieses wieder verschlossen wurde. Die Hebung der 2–3 Tonnen schweren Deckplatte, die sich in der Erdoberfläche befand, ergab, daß das Grab, da auch keine Skelettreste oder Grabbeigaben gefunden worden sind, einst zerstört worden ist. […] Unmittelbar bei dem Grab stieß man, nach dem Scherbenfund zu urteilen, auf einen Römerweg. Schon 1936 hatte der rührige Heimatforscher und Archäologe Hptl. Schneider bei seinen Grabungen im 'Toten Mann' Scherben von Tonkrügen, Steinbeile, Feuerstein-Werkzeuge und Schmuckreste gefunden, die sich im Waldshuter Heimatmuseum befinden."

Schwörstadt
In Niederschwörstadt unweit von Rheinfelden liegt der sogenannte "Heidenstein":

Aichen
Fast zwei Jahre lang wurde (bis 1990) unter Leitung von Wolfgang Pape mit Studenten vom Institut für Ur- und Frühgeschichte der Universität Freiburg im Gemeindewald von Aichen (Waldshut-Tiengen) in zwei Etappen gegraben: "Grund dafür war die Vermutung, daß in dieser Gegend sich ein Megalith- oder Großsteingrab aus der Zeit 3000 Jahre vor Christi Geburt befinden könnte." Nachdem "tonnenschwere Steinplatten mit Hilfe eines Baggers abgetragen" waren, stellte man nach Abtragung der Bodenschichten fest, daß "vor allem in den letzten Jahrzehnten Menschen wissentlich oder unwissentlich große Teile des ehemaligen Grabes zerstört" hätten. In tieferen Bodenschichten gab das Erdreich eine Anordnung von Steinen frei, die in der Gegend nicht zu finden sind und wahrscheinlich von Menschenkraft dorthin geschafft wurden. "Neben Tierknochen und teilweise angebrannten Menschenknochen, die auf eine Feuerbestattung schließen lassen, fand man in der letzten erhaltenen Ecke des wahrscheinlichen Megalithgrabes auch Pfeilspitzen aus Stein. Genaueres werde man jedoch erst nach den Analysen der Funde und der Bodenproben" mitteilen können. Darüber wurden interessierte Bürger im Anschluss an eine Ortschaftsratssitzung von dem Freiburger Forscher informiert.

Menhire
Menhire sind nicht unbedingt Zeichen eines nahe befindlichen Steingrabes – da man sie bei einer Zerstörung kaum übrig gelassen hätte, sind sie offenbar auch alleinstehend. Auffallend ist, dass sie zumeist auf Anhöhen stehen, die gleichzeitig wichtige Wegübergänge markieren. Der bekannte Langenstein bei Tiengen steht im Tal, doch bezeichnet er hier einen alten Übergang über die Wutach.

Langenstein bei Tiengen
Der heute am alten Fußballplatz stehende Langenstein, der auch dem (neuen) Stadion den Namen gab, steht nahe der Wutach und am dortigen Übergang des direkten Weges von Tiengen nach Kadelburg sowie am Fluss entlang nach Lauchringen und Waldshut. Am Übergang befindet sich eine ältere Holzbrücke.

"Der Lange Stein erhebt sich auf einem schmalen Terrassenstreifen zwischen dem Nordfuß des Bürgerwaldes und der heute kanalisierten Wutach. Der stark zerklüftete Nagelfluhpfeiler erreicht eine Höhe von 5,92 m über dem Boden. Er ist an seiner Basis nahezu rechteckig und besitzt einen Umfang von 7,50 m bei einem größten Durchmesser von 1,70 m. Sein Standort in der Wutachniederung lag hart neben einem alten Straßenzug. […] Der Nagelfluhpfeiler, der auch unter dem inzwischen erloschenen Namen Chindlistai bekannt war, bildete im Mittelalter das Symbol des kaiserlichen Landgerichtes im Klettgau." Sitzungen des Landgerichtes Klettgau sind für 1379 und 1425 bezeugt.

Brigitte Matt-Willmatt schreibt in der Chronik von Lauchringen:

"Nach der Landnahme durch die Alemannen kamen diese zu beratenden Versammlungen an bestimmten Plätzen zum 'Ding' zusammen, und auch das freie kaiserliche Landgericht tagte an diesen altherkömmlichen Dingstätten, wovon als älteste der im Jahre 1020 zum ersten Mal urkundlich belegte Lange Stein bei Tiengen […] bekannt ist." Eine Quelle zur Urkunde gibt die Autorin jedoch nicht an.

Der Stein soll in der Volkssage auch als "Chindlistein" bezeichnet worden sein, da er bei Geburten Kraft verliehen oder glückliche Umstände bewirkt haben soll. Bis 2015 behütete er noch einen Sport- und Trainingsplatz, da 1993 in Tiengen unweit entfernt ein neues Stadion erbaut wurde. Das Gelände um den Stein wird ab Herbst 2018 renaturiert, verbunden "mit dem Abriss der 1958 erbauten Tribüne, der Flutlichtmasten, Umzäunung und sonstigen baulichen Substanzen. […] In Zukunft wird das alte Langensteinstadion lediglich noch als Überflutungsfläche bei Hochwasser dienen, da der Flächennutzungsplan als Nutzung nur Grünflächen oder Sportplätze vorsieht. Andere Nutzungen sind nicht zulässig', sagte Bürgermeister Baumert".

Mauchen
In der Nähe von Stühlingen-Mauchen befindet sich ein auf der Parodi-Karte nicht aufgeführter Stein. Er könnte in jüngerer Zeit wieder aufgerichtet worden sein.

Dettighofen
Der Menhir von Dettighofen ("Hegistein") befand sich am Ausgang der Ortschaft zum Eichberg hin ("Hegiweg"), jedoch oberirdisch nur noch an seiner Kuppe erkennbar. Vor nicht allzu langer Zeit war er noch vollständig zu sehen (Foto im Archiv des Geschichtsverein Hochrhein in Bechtersbohl).

Nöggenschwiel
Der Menhir von Nöggenschwiel ist auf der Parodi-Karte (siehe oben) eingetragen – daneben befindet sich dort auch noch ein 'liegender' Menhir.

"Auf der welligen Muschelkalkhochfläche steht nahe der südlichen Gemarkungsgrenze gegen Bierbronnen eine vom Volksmund mit dem Namen 'Langer Stein' [im Gewann 'Langstein' …] belegte relativ dicke, dreieckige Steinplatte aus Buntsandstein. Der sicher von Menschenhand aufgerichtete Monolith überragt die Bodenoberfläche noch um 1,80 m. Er ist dicht über dem Boden 0,70 m breit, 0,40 m dick und mißt an der Spitze noch 0,30:0,25 m. Irgendwelche Spuren künstlicher Zurichtung sind nicht wahrnehmbar. Der Monolith – ursprünglich ein erratischer Block – steht auf einer Parzellengrenze auf dem sanften Ostabhang einer weiten Anhöhe (Pkt. 772,3 m), von wo man eine weite Fernsicht nach Osten und Süden genießt. Von Westen her ist der Langstein dagegen erst nach Überschreiten des Hügelscheitels zu erblicken."

"Wie Gastwirt A. Hilpert 1950 berichtete, soll auf dem Grundstück Lgb. Nr. 663 östlich der Kapelle, die an einer Wegespinne der Straße Nöggenschwiel-Weilheim liegt, vor Jahren noch eine Steinsäule ähnlich dem 'Langen Stein' aufrecht gestanden haben. Im Volksmund habe dieser etwa 1,20 m hohe Monolith der Kurze Stein geheißen. Er sei umgelegt und vergraben worden, weil er den Grundstücksbesitzer beim Ackern behindert habe. Näheres über Gestalt und Steinmaterial ist nicht bekannt. Der Monolith stand wiederum nicht auf dem höchsten Punkt, sondern auf dem Südausläufer einer weiten Anhöhe (Pkt. 755,8 m)."

Eine aktuelle Begehung führte in dem von Gersbach angegebenen Bereich (unterhalb der Anhöhe der Verbindung von Weilheim nach Nöggenschwiel) zu einer Beobachtung am Rand eines Ackers: Größere und kleinere Trümmerteile von ortsfremden Steinmaterial, die in ihren Teilen die Rekonstruktion einer Steinsäule ergeben könnten.

Kalvarienberg Stühlingen–Schwaningen
Der auf der Parodi-Karte nördlich Stühlingen eingetragene Menhir am Ende der Straße aus der Unterstadt über den Kalvarienberg ins Wutachtal nach Schwaningen steht in der Nähe der Kalvarienbergkapelle und dient in behauener Form als Sockel für das Wegekreuz. Die Übereinstimmung des Objektes mit dem Standort auf der Karte ist gegeben, doch wurde noch keine wissenschaftliche Begutachtung durchgeführt.

Bechtersbohl
Ein ähnliches Ensemble – Muschelkalksockel und Kruzifix – steht beim Friedhof westlich der Ortschaft Bechtersbohl vor der Küssaburg. Der hier auf der Passhöhe vorbeiführende frühzeitliche Handelsweg (spätere römische Heeresstraße) wäre ein Beispiel für die Verbindung von Menhir und der Markierung wichtiger Wegführungen.

Dossenbach / bei Wehr
Unweit des Restes des Dolmen bei Schwörstadt steht der Menhir von Dossenbach im Gewann "Kalte Waid" an der Grenze zu Wehr. "Der Monolith steht auf dem Westabhang einer weiten, plateauartigen Kuppe (488,1 m) dicht über dem Talschluß eines seichten Trockentales."

"Die Steinsäule ist schlank, kegelförmig, gut gerundet und jetzt noch 1,70 m lang. Sie weist keinerlei Spuren künstlicher Zurichtung auf. Die Spitze ist wohl beim Sturz um 0,20–0,30 m abgebrochen. Ebenso dürfte die völlig glatte Bruchfläche der annähernd kreisrunden Basis – Dm. 0,80 m – nicht natürlichen Ursprungs sein; beide Bruchflächen sind ziemlich frisch. Es besteht deshalb der Verdacht, daß der Monolith unten um ein größeres Stück verkürzt worden ist. Seine Länge (Höhe) dürfte daher ursprünglich mehr als 2 m betragen haben."

Auf der Westflanke desselben Tales steht knapp 850 m weiter südwestlich der Hunnenstein von Niederdossenbach.

Beide Steine wurden "in den zwanziger Jahren hinter dem Gasthaus 'Zum Wehratal' zwischen Dossenbach und Wehr ausgegraben."

Schwörstadt / Niederdossenbach
"Der Menhir steht unweit der Gemarkungsgrenze gegen Dossenbach auf dem sanften Ostabhang einer der zahlreichen flachen Kuppen (420 m), die der Muschelkalktafel des östlichen Dinkelberges ihr Gepräge verleihen." Er befindet sich von Tannen umgeben im "Krosilienwald".

"Der heute geläufige Name 'Hunnenstein' ist vermutlich im 19. Jahrhundert in die eine Breitseite des Monoliths eingemeißelt worden. Er ist gewiß nicht bodenständig, sondern als halbgelehrte Neubildung ins Volk hineingetragen worden."

"1953 wurde im Pfarrwald Distr. V der Menhir auf Veranlassung des Forstamtes Säckingen erneut aufgerichtet. […] Er wurde [zuvor] von den Einheimischen mehrmals ausgegraben, umgelegt und als in einem Kalkgebiet naturgemäß sehr begehrtes Hartsteinmaterial abtransportiert, jedoch auf Betreiben der Forstbehörde ebenso oft wieder an seinen alten Standplatz zurückgebracht. Im Aushub der letzten Baugrube konnten einige römische Scherben aufgesammelt werden. […] Mehrere Wandscherben einfacher römischer Keramik sowie das Randstück einer Kragenschüssel."

Beschreibung: "Schlanker, spindelförmiger Monolith aus grauem, leicht kantengerundetem Granit – H. 2,50 m, Di. an der Spitze 0,30 m, Di. in der Mitte 0,50 m."

Schweizer Hochrheinseite
"Auf der schweizerischen Rheinseite gibt es Funde in Äsch bei Basel und in Laufen."

Hinweise auf zerstörte/verbaute Menhire
Es gibt zahlreiche Hinweise in Gewann-Namen, die hier nicht mit Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit angeführt werden können.

Eberfingen
"Zwischen Untereggingen und Eberfingen, unterhalb der Landstraße und der Eisenbahn entlang, liegt der Lindenacker. Bis in die 1870er Jahre hinein standen auf dem Lindenacker in Quadratordnung vier gewaltige, säulenartig aufstrebende Felsblöcke. Eine mächtige Steinplatte lagerte wie eine Tischplatte darüber. Dieselbe wurde vor 100 Jahren abgenommen und als Deckel zu einer Brunnenstube verwendet. Auch die vier Säulen wurden später mit großer Mühe weggeschleppt und für den Wutachwehrbau verwendet."

Gewann bei der Geißlinger Brücke

Ähnlich zweckentfremdet wurde ein Menhir im Gewann "Langer Stein" im Umfeld der Straßen- und Bahnbrücke bei Geißlingen, der nach der Aussage eines ehemaligen Besitzers des Ackers in den Bahndamm verbaut worden sein soll. In der Nähe befand sich die römische Villa Heideggerhof.

Gewann Grießen-Geißlingen
Auch direkt bei Geißlingen im Umfeld von Kapelle und Kreuzweg gibt es einen Hinweis auf einen Menhir: "Das angrenzende Gewann zwischen Kreisstraße und Schwarzbach trägt den Flurnamen 'Beim Langen Stein'." Vermutet wird dort auch eine mittelalterliche Gerichtsstätte.

Rheinfelden / Nollingen
"1930 berichtete Altratschreiber Steinegger, Nollingen, an G. Kraft u. a., daß 'nicht weit nördlich der Stelle,' wo ein 'Brückchen über den Wolfsgraben führt, ein aufrechter, viereckiger Stein' gestanden habe. Dieser habe einen Dm. von 0,50 m besessen, den Boden um 1,50 m überragt und sei später 'in eine Brücke eingemauert worden'. So dürftig diese Angaben im einzelnen auch sind, so bedeutungsvoll können sie werden, wenn es gelingen sollte, diesen Stein wieder ausfindig zu machen. Denn dieser Monolith war – gleichgültig aus welchem Material er bestand – ein Fremdling an seinem Standort. Der Untergrund besteht dort in weitem Umkreis aus feuchten, lehmig-tonigen Schichten des mittleren Keupers. Der Stein muß deshalb von Menschenhand an diesen Platz gebracht und dort aufgerichtet worden sein. Sein einstiger Standort auf dem sanft abfallenden Westhang einer bewaldeten Zunge der Dinkelbergtafel ähnelt auffallend jenen der Monolithe im Ostteil dieser Muschelkalkhochfläche (Menhir Dossenbach und 'Hunnenstein'). Man wird deshalb gut daran tun, auch diesen Monolith in den Kreis der menhirverdächtigen Steinsäulen miteinzubeziehen."

Monolithen
Egon Gersbach unterscheidet von den Menhiren die "Monolithe von Menhircharakter" – "Steinsäulen", die keine nachweisbaren Anhaltspunkte (Lage, Material, Gewann-Namen) auf eine megalithischen Zuordnung erkennen lassen und gegebenenfalls auch "eigens zum Zwecke der Kennzeichnung mittelalterlicher Gerichtsstätten und Rechtsbezirke neu gesetzt worden sind." Einfache Gewann-Namensbildungen mit 'Stein' sind zwar häufig, doch "Zurückhaltung ist schon bei den Flurennamen 'zum Stein' und 'im Stein' oder 'beim Stein' und 'Großer Stein' […] am Platze." Diese können auch "als Festpunkt für eine Flur- oder sonstige Grenze gedient haben."

Historischer Hintergrund

"Die ersten Megalithbauten entstanden – kalibrierten Radionkarbon-Messungen zufolge – bereits zwischen 4700 und 4500 v. Chr. in der Bretagne und Portugal. Auf den britischen Inseln tauchen sie um 3700 v. Chr. (Knockiveage in Irland) und 3600 v. Chr. (Maumbury Ringe in England) auf. Südfrankreich steht ab 4000 v. Chr. im Zeichen der Megalithkultur und Malta ab 3700 v. Chr. Ganze ein bis zwei Jahrtausende, bevor sich die erste Pyramide aus dem Wüstensand Ägyptens erhob (26. Jh. v. Chr.), entstanden im atlantischen Megalithreich demnach bereits Monumentalbauten, die straffe Organisation, hohes technisches Verständnis und ein reiches geistiges Leben erkennen lassen. Da sich der Niedergang des Megalithreiches und der Aufstieg des ägyptischen Reiches überlappten und beide Reiche noch nahezu ein Jahrtausend nebeneinander existierten, ist die Bewunderung der Ägypter für diese Kultur verständlich."

"Die bedeutendste Ansammlung von Megalithbauten findet man um Carnac in der südlichen Bretagne, wo riesige Menhirfelder und Steingräber bis zum Ende des 5. und Anfang des 4. Jahrtausends v. Chr. zurückweisen. Ein wichtiges und künstlerisch verblüffend schönes Megalithgrab, Newgrange in Irland, entstand um 3000 v. Chr. Ungefähr zur selben Zeit gab es auf Malta bereits freistehende Steintempel von zyklopischen Ausmaßen. Ein halbes Jahrtausend später begann auch Stonehenge in England zu entstehen."

An der nordafrikanischen Küste – im Altertum generell als "Libyen" bezeichnet – befinden sich zahlreiche Megalithbauten bis hin zum Atlas-Gebirge. Nur wenige davon sind erforscht. Die Relikte und Anlagen von Marokko bis Tunesien lassen nur eine Lücke im heutigen Libyen nach Ägypten: "Zwischen den zahlreichen Megalithgräbern Tunesiens und dem Nil-Land liegt nur noch die unfruchtbare Wüste."

Forschung
Neben den unzähligen Spekulationen und manchen seriösen Auseinandersetzungen mit der Vorzeit und der Legende von Atlantis, denen es an Beweiskraft mangelt, stehen Forschungsarbeiten, die moderne Analysemethoden und die zunehmende archäologische und wissenschaftliche Erfassung zur Verbreitung der Megalithbauten und zur Technik ihrer Erstellung einbeziehen. Im deutschsprachigen Raum zuletzt die Veröffentlichungen von Helmut Tributsch, bis 2008 Professor für Physikalische Chemie an der Freien Universität Berlin (TU) und leitender Wissenschaftler am Hahn-Meitner-Institut, der insbesondere physikalische Aspekte (Geographie, Klima, Ernährung, Technik) in die Analyse einbezog.

Überlieferung
Ausgangspunkt aller Spekulationen und auch der ernsthaften Forschungen sind Informationen, die ein Grieche  über die frühere Existenz eines alten Reiches während einer Reise nach Ägypten erhielt.

Generell zählt die Beschreibung von Geographie und Gesellschaft von Atlantis zu den ersten fassbaren schriftlichen Überlieferungen der Weltgeschichte. Der Bericht des Athener Staatsmannes Solon ca. 600 v. Chr., der die informellen Inhalte von ägyptischen Priestern erhalten haben soll, wurde durch den Philosophen Platon im vierten Jahrhundert vor Christus veröffentlicht.

Dieser 'Atlantis-Bericht' des Solon ist in einem '∂ialogos' des Platon um 355 v. Chr. über den 'idealen Staat' erhalten. Im Dialog Timaios berichtet Kritias, "ein Verwandter des Platon, zu dessen Vorfahren auch der Athener Staatsmann Solon gehörte", die Geschichte eines untergegangenen Reiches. Die Darstellungen von Atlantis als einer riesigen Insel, deutet Tributsch als die Annahme in der Antike, Westeuropa, an den Küste umfahren von Griechenland über Gibraltar ("Säulen des Herakles") nach Norden – die Küsten unentwegt rechterhand liegend – über Spanien, Frankreich, Britannien, seien damals als eine große Insel interpretiert worden: "Da noch zur Zeit des Römischen Reiches Unklarheiten über die Konturen Europas bestanden, kann man annehmen, daß zwei bis drei Jahrtausende vorher nur vage Vorstellungen darüber existierten, wie Westeuropa strukturiert ist. Der Sitz der westeuropäischen Megalithkultur hätte für frühe ägyptische Geographen eine große 'Insel Atlantis' sein können".

"Als die Ägypter im sechsten Jahrhundert vor Christus dem griechischen Staatsmann Solon die Atlantis-Überlieferung mitteilten, lag der Untergang des Megalithreiches erst eineinhalb Jahrtausende zurück – 1500 Jahre, während derer die schriftkundigen Ägypter fortwährend ihre Annalen geführt haben."

Nachfolgekulturen
"Die Megalithkultur als historische Einheit zu sehen, ist sicherlich nicht möglich. Sie wurde von verschiedenen Volksgruppen getragen, weist verschiedene künstlerisch-architektonische Strömungen und auch verschiedene Entwicklungsepochen auf. […] Der Untergang des Megalithreiches  fällt mit der Invasion der indoeuropäischen Völker aus dem Osten zusammen, der um 2300 v. Chr. einsetzte und sich wohl in mehreren Wellen abwickelte." Gleichsam 'europaweit' (und auch an der nordafrikanischen Küste) werden binnen 200 Jahren die Megalithanlagen zerstört – "die meisten [Radiokarbon]-Datierungen liegen im Zeitraum zwischen 2300 und 2100 v. Chr."

Rekonstruierbar ist, dass die Megalithkultur Kupfer verarbeitete, während die Glockenbecher-Krieger bereits Bronze verwendeten und dadurch trotz niedrigerem kulturellen Level waffentechnisch überlegen waren. Sie sind durch die bronzezeitlichen Grabhügel fassbar.

Die Invasoren werden heute im weiten Umfang nach ihrer Herkunft im Osten als Kurgankultur und der Art ihrer Keramik im Westen als Glockenbecherkultur bezeichnet; in (Süd-)Deutschland und der Schweiz ist eine Variante als Schnurkeramische Kultur (als Vorfahren der Germanen, event. auch Kelten und Italiker) durch zahlreiche Funde verbürgt. Megalithbauten wurden von den Eroberern zum großen Teil verschlossen, da die Invasoren das Einzelbegräbnis bevorzugten. Die Kelten sollen den Bauten wie auch den Grabhügelfeldern später wieder respektvolle Aufmerksamkeit entgegengebracht haben.

Vermessung von Positionen
Letztlich müssen Überlegungen zu Bedeutung oder Funktion der Steine spekulativ bleiben – sieht man von der Vermutung 'kultischer Funktionen' ab –, können Hinweise allenfalls ihre Positionierung in der Landschaft (Rheinlinie – Wutach) oder untereinander thematisieren. Eine Funktion als weithin sichtbare, großräumige Wegemarkierung (auch im Winter) wäre einsichtig.

Bekannt ist, dass gehäuft aufgestellte Menhire in Kreisen oder Reihen in ihren Achsen und Abständen präzise aufeinander abgestimmt sind und nach Vermutungen astronomische Beobachtungen ermöglicht haben können.

In making a Babyland Rag inspired doll I decided to try to use cotton stuffing. The original doll had been stuffed with cotton as far as I could tell.
I ordered a small amount of unbleached organic cotton from Feltpro. You have to pull it apart so that it is in smaller pieces, similarly to poly.. There may be an occasional seed or piece of grass in it but it's not bothersome to remove. I'm in the learning curve about stuffing it well. I will order a larger amount next time and I'm not getting anything for saying that!
Feltpro also sells FELT. And a felt doll kit. And other doll making tools and supplies. Look at the wonderful wool felt colors at feltpro! Look at Sally Mavor's book Wee Folk!
Feltpro offers many wonderful colors!
Click the color chart above to go to Feltpro's site.
I never thought of stuffing a doll with cotton. There used to be a recycle center nearby and for a while they had huge boxes of cotton roving donated by a pharmacy company. It was the kind you used to find in the top of pill bottles. It's off white with occasional bits of darker matter. We brought home several gallon-size bags of it. We've been pulling it apart to use as cotton balls but now I'm wondering if I should take it from our medicine closet and put it in my sewing room for some future doll. Hmmmmm.
Nancy, it is a nice authentic stuffing if you make antique inspired dolls. But I think there is a place for all kinds of stuffing.

Mosey back through the wild west with Stampede Art Walk
Michele Jarvie
It all began with a dream, so it's only fitting that Guy Weadick's vision is proudly displayed as such on the Stampede grounds.
The Dream, a mural on the upper east wall of the Stampede Corral, illustrates what the western show promoter had in mind when he brought The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth to Calgary in 1912.
Wearing his iconic cowboy hat, Weadick is depicted in front of a line of teepees, along with a bronc rider, trick riders, the old grandstand and the amusing slogan of the time, A Romping Rangeland Rumpus. The mural, created in 1996 by artist Doug Driediger, is among the first artworks commissioned by the Stampede.
Two-plus decades later, Stampede Park now features 19 significant pieces of art including eight murals and 11 three-dimensional sculptures of either bronze, stone or stainless steel.
"We've been putting new pieces in and preserving what we had," said Georgia Desmarias, a longtime member of the Stampede public art committee which was struck in 2008. "I think we've been successful but, of course, we have a huge wish list."
Some of the pieces are small and easily missed while others command the attention of fairgoers by their sheer size and presence. That includes By the Banks of the Bow, a massive bronze featuring 15 horses and two cowboys which is one of the largest pieces of art in North America.
Artist Bob Spaith, who created the piece with Rich Roenisch, wanted to pay homage to the horses that helped to settle the west. The sculpture is a nod to our past, present and future with different styles employed on the various horses in the throws of crossing an unseen river. The cowboy depicted as making it to dry land with his hat off is meant to be the legendary Clem Gardner, the all-around champion of 1912. Glass embedded in the cement reflects the light, resembling water.

Various artworks scattered around the grounds highlight rodeo events and chuckwagon racing. Others focus on early pioneer life, Indigenous culture and even the Royal North West Mounted Police Ceremonial Ride in 1914. All of the 19 artworks are listed in the Calgary Stampede Art Walk brochure, available on the grounds, that includes photographs of each piece, a short description, and a map so interested visitors can do a self-guided tour.
In recent years, the volunteer Stampede art committee has taken a decidedly different tact in choosing work. Two of the most recent pieces commissioned are quite modern when compared to the murals and bronzes.

100 Years of Champions was unveiled in 2014 outside the grandstand building. Individual aluminum horseshoes are etched with the names of all of the rodeo and chuckwagon champions from 1912 through 2012.
"Honestly, that was fun to work on," said Desmarais. "When we unveiled it, we had a lot of rodeo cowboys and chuckwagon guys looking for the names of their fathers, grandfathers and uncles. It's amazing to see cowboys carrying on that history."
Jeff de Boer's Rainbow Trout sculpture at the entrance to Enmax Park on the northeast side of Stampede Park. Calgary
The most recent artwork seems oddly incongruous to a western rodeo and fair. But Calgary multimedia artist Jeff de Boer wanted to highlight the Stampede's location on the Elbow River and its commitment to protecting the natural area. Located at Enmax Park near the MacDonald Bridge entrance, Rainbow Trout is an abstract stainless steel installation. But when viewed from the "sweet spot" across the road, the colourful individual pieces form a complete fish.
"This is very different for us. We've been getting many comments about it. It's quite a site when it lights up at night."
With the proposed expansion and revamping of Stampede Park, some of the historic murals will be lost. But Desmarais said they are committed to removing the pieces painted on board and photographing the others to ensure they can be recreated later on.
"Our maintenance commitment is huge, Every three years the murals are repainted or revarnished and the bronzes are cleaned. We have to do that to preserve all these wonderful pieces," said Desmarais. "The bronzes especially deteriorate very rapidly, especially in Calgary's climate."
Not all of the Stampede's artwork is displayed on the grounds. Two very notable sculptures are downtown, including an ode to the famous bucking bull Outlaw by Richard Loffler and a suite of eight galloping horses — Do Re Me Fa Sol La Si Do — by renowned Prairie artist Joe Fafard.

That wish list that Desmarais earlier alluded to includes the nearby Rundle Ruins. Located on 12th Avenue at 6th Street S.E., the crumbling sandstone arches are all that remain of Calgary's second hospital, built in 1894. The public art committee is almost finished working on the site to light it up at night.
The Stampede's interest in art dates back to 1912, when celebrated American artists Ed Borein and Charlie Russell showcased their work at the original fair and exhibition. By the 1980s, the Stampede's Western Art Show had become a regular feature of the 10-day event. Today, the Stampede's annual art show is one of Canada's most significant.
During Stampede, visitors can see a wide variety of art in the Western Oasis in the BMO Centre, including that of the Artists Ranch Project. Each year the Stampede funds a small group of selected contemporary artists to spend a weekend on an authentic working ranch. They create art inspired by the experience, which is shown and sold in the Calgary Stampede Western Showcase art show.
The Stampede also celebrates art and western heritage year-round through a historical mural program and with the historical posters which the line the upper walkway of the BMO Centre. There's no shortage of art showcasing the Stampede's long history, said Desmarais.
"There's lots of really interesting things to see if you look up and look around."

Well T.O. Jam 2016 is over and our jam was pretty successful. Our game turned out alright and although we did not have enough time to implement our final boss, the main game mechanics are in and can easily be expanded.
Alabama Stones and the Goblet of Goat is what we named our game! A tribute to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, sort of :D. In this game you play as Alabama Stones and his adventurous side has lead him to an ominous temple where he is in search of the Goblet of Goat! As he enters the temple though he realizes that there are some mummies frozen in time. Beware of the mummies as taking them on head on will not be very smart, as you can only really kill them from behind. Alabama Stones must use his environment to hide in front of or behind objects to sneak behind the mummies. Alabama Stones also has his trusty lantern filled with kerosene, which not only lights his way, but can also be used to burn enemies too. He can also use his grapple hook (which works like Indiana Jones's whip) to traverse up or swing across hazards. He has to make his way through the temple avoiding or killing enemies and must find the Goblet of Goat!
After a sweet 9 day vacation in Panama and Costa Rica, I returned last night at 2am refreshed and recharged and ready to dive right into TO Jam 2016! (http://www.tojam.ca/home/default.asp). I didn't get much sleep last night, but hey what the hell I might as well do a 3 day game jam on top of it!
This is my first TO Jam, but 4th game jam in the past 2.5 years! The theme this year is "There will be consequences". We've got a pretty cool concept for our game and I will keep you informed as the jam goes on!
