La Maison de Melun, qui tire son nom de la ville éponyme située en Île-de-France (Seine-et-Marne), est une ancienne famille noble française qui forma de nombreuses branches toutes éteintes.

Les vicomtes de la première Maison de Melun sont connus depuis Josselin , vicomte en 998 (et peut-être dès Salon, qui serait son frère aîné, vicomte en 991, 993 ?), et ont engendré, en lignée féminine, la deuxième maison vicomtale de Melun (alias la maison de Chailly).

Les Melun ont donné plusieurs chevaliers croisés. Leur famille a été d'une grande illustration au cours des siècles, a occupé de grandes charges et un haut rang parmi les familles du royaume. Elle a eu de nombreuses possessions et a contracté des alliances avec les maisons d'Artois, de Courtenay et de Dreux, issues de la Maison royale de France.

Elle a donné deux grands maîtres de France, trois grands chambellans, un grand bouteiller de France, un maréchal de France, un grand maître des arbalétriers, deux grands maîtres des eaux et forêts, plusieurs généraux, des gouverneurs de provinces, des ambassadeurs, des connétables héréditaires de Flandre et de Normandie, des évêques, des pairs de France, des chevaliers de l'Ordre du Saint-Esprit, des chevaliers de l'Ordre de la Toison d'or, etc.

Origines
Les origines des Melun, au  siècle, sont très mal connues, et l'historien de Melun Sébastien Rouillard (fin -1639) comme le Père Anselme, célèbre généalogiste, et l'érudit local Louis Michelin (1765-1841), admettent des vicomtes sans doute mythiques, présentés comme issus du mariage d'Élisabeth Le Riche, fille du seigneur Lisiard Le Riche, avec Aymon de Corbeil : Salon serait déclaré vicomte de Melun en 991 par une charte des archives de l'abbaye Saint-Père de Melun, premier membre donc de la maison de Melun dont le nom soit connu, et il serait le frère aîné de Josselin  ; Hervé, vicomte de Melun, vivait en 1030 : mais il semble plus probable qu'il s'agisse en fait d'un comte de Melun ; Manassés serait vicomte de Melun en 1110, époux de Marguerite, fille de Milon II vicomte de Troyes, seigneur de Montlhéry et de Bray ; de plus des confusions peuvent exister avec des vicomtes de Sens du  siècle nommés Manassès, Salon, Guérin/Garin... (et qui constitueraient une branche cadette issue d'Ursion  ci-dessous ?). Le chartiste Adolphe Duchalais (1814-1854) et le site MedLands proposent une liste plus assurée quoique lacunaire :
 Josselin/Goscelin , vicomte de Melun sous le comte Bouchard et sans doute apparenté aux Josselin de Courtenay, tenait rang parmi les grands seigneurs de la cour des rois Hugues Capet et Robert II ; il donna en 998, l'église de Noisy-le-Sec, c'est-à-dire le droit de patronage ou des dixmes, au monastère de Saint-Maur, où quelque temps après il prit l'habit de religieux, & y mourut le  ou après . Il aurait pour frère Adam, † vers 1031/1032.
 Guillaume , vicomte de Melun vers l'an mil et jusqu'en 1042.
 Ursion/Urson , vicomte de Melun nommé dans une charte de l'abbaye de Ferrières de l'an 1070, fl. de 1067 à 1085/1094. Il peut être le père de :
 Guillaume II ou  de Melun, surnommé le Charpentier à cause de sa grande force à combattre ses ennemis, se trouvait avec Godefroy de Bouillon lors de son expédition en Terre sainte en 1098 et fut vicomte jusqu'à 1102 au moins. Son frère Gautier Paganus/Payen, fl. 1096, épouse Hodierne.

Un successeur du Charpentier, de nom inconnu et régnant vers 1100-1138, aurait pour fille Mahaut de Melun, femme d'Adam de Chailly qui deviendrait vicomte vers 1138 et règnerait jusque vers 1141. À moins que Mahaut soit plutôt directement la fille du Charpentier, voire sa sœur, fille d'Urson, ce qui ferait commencer le règne de son mari Adam de Chailly bien avant : Mahaut l'aurait alors épousé dès 1080/1090. Adam de Chailly, né vers 1060/1065 et † après 1141, était le fils d'un certain Étienne — sans doute fils lui-même d'un Helduin, et probable cousin d'un autre Étienne fils d'un Josselin ; la femme ou la mère d'Helduin était Hersende, fille d'Athon de Châteaurenard et Courtenay. Tous ces personnages semblent apparentés.

Adam de Chailly avait un frère, Gautier, mari d'Ulgesende et père d'un Hervé et d'un Adam. Plus tard, Adam de Chailly eut une deuxième épouse, Aveline de Corbeil dame d'Yerres, fille de Baudouin du Donjon de Corbeil (à Corbeil ou Soisy-sous-Etiolles) : d'où un fils, Thierry de Chailly sire d'Yerres : Postérité : Le fils d'Adam de Chailly et Mahaut de Melun, Gilles de Chailly, mourut prédécédé avant 1141, et c'est son propre fils Josselin II qui succéda dans la vicomté.

Famille de Melun, seigneurs du Buignon et de Brumetz (éteinte en1888)
À la mort du comte de Melun, prince d'Epinoy, en 1738, on crut qu'il ne restait de mâle de la maison que le vicomte de Melun, son oncle et beau-père, et à la mort de ce dernier, en 1739, on considéra la maison de Melun comme éteinte.

Au début du , deux généalogistes (Jean-Baptiste-Pierre-Jullien Courcelles et Nicolas Viton de Saint-Allais ont rattaché à la Maison de Melun la famille de Melun, seigneurs du Buignon et de Brumetz (éteinte en 1888), en établissant le point de jonction à Louis de Melun seigneur d'Esgligny en partie, Grez et Chantecler à Vimpel, un frère cadet du capitaine d'Usson Charles, et un oncle du Grand-maître Charles.

Cette famille n'apparaissait pas dans les généalogies de la Maison de Melun rédigées au  siècle, notamment par Le Père Anselme dans son Histoire généalogique et chronologique de la maison royale de France, des pairs, grands officiers de la Couronne (1726) ou par Louis Moréri dans son Grand Dictionnaire historique (1740)

En 1882, Louis de La Roque écrit : « La jonction des représentants actuels de la maison de Melun à la souche n'est pas établie par des documents absolument explicites; mais on ne peut guère cependant élever des doutes sur leur origine. Voici sur quels points porte la difficulté: Le rameau actuel prouve sa filiation en remontant jusqu'à Antoine de Melun, écuyer, qui en 1481, était en possession des fiefs d'Esgligny-sur-Seine et de Chantecler, ayant appartenu à Louis de Melun. mort entre les années 1467 et 1472. La filiation ascendante de ce Louis de Melun est parfaitement établie par une quantité d'actes, et entre autres par un partage de l'année 1447, où sont mentionnés ses frères, et qui lui attribue la huitième partie d'Esgligny-sur-Seine, en Brie, la terre de Grez en Gâtinais, et le fief de Chantecler, paroisse de Vimpel. Antoine est-il le fils de Louis et son fils légitime? Aucun doute ne se serait probablement élevé à ce sujet si l'on ne connaissait le testament de Louis de Melun, de l'année 1467. Par cet acte, Louis nomme pour ses exécuteurs testamentaires son frère Philippe de Melun, chevalier, seigneur de la Borde-le-Vicomte, et Jean de Melun son fils naturel légitimé, et ajoute : « et pour ce que, à ma requeste et de mon consentement ledit Jean de Melun, mon fils naturel, a esté légitimé par le Roy, je, en tant que besoin et mestierest parcestuy présent mon testament ay ladite légitimation omologuée, approuvée, consentie et ratiftiée et icelluy mon fils ay voulu, consenti et déclairé, vieulx consens et déclaire mon fils naturel et légitimé, et icelluy vieulx et consens qu'il recueille ma totale succession comme mon vray fils et héritier ». Il semble résulter de ce testament que Louis de Melun n'avait pas de fils légitime en 1467. Antoine ne peut pas être né postérieurement à cette date puisqu'il agit comme majeur dans une transaction de 1481. Cette transaction est faite entre « nobles hommes Jehan, bastard de Meleun et Anthoine de Meleun, escuyer » ; elle a pour objet la réclamation que faisait Jean, bâtard de Melun, à Antoine des droits de la moitié par indivis des « fiefs, terres et seigneuries de la Môte-Saint-Fleur entin assis à Egligny et Chantecler. » Du rapprochement de ces deux documents on doit conclure: 1° qu'Antoine était fils légitime; 2° qu'il était le plus proche parent légitime en ligne paternelle de Louis de Melun, puisqu'il fut mis en possession de ses domaines, et ces deux points suffisent pour que l'origine d'Antoine et de ses descendants ne puisse pas être sérieusement contestée, du moins au point de vue historique...».

Au sujet de cette famille de Melun seigneurs du Buignon et de Brumetz, Henri Jougla de Morenas écrit en 1948 dans le Grand Armorial de France « Les seigneurs du Buignon et de Brumetz, du nom de Melun, n'établissent pas leur jonction avec aucune des branches précédentes et sont légitimement suspects d'être sortis d'un bâtard de celle des seigneurs de la Borde. Ils furent maintenus dans leur noblesse par arrêt du Conseil du , dans lequel ils déclarent descendre d'Antoine de Melun, seigneur de La Borde, prétendu fils de Charles de Melun, baron des Landes, seigneur de La Borde, Grand-maître de France, et de Philippe de Montmorency, mais cet exposé est contraire aux titres qui prouvent que Charles de Melun n'eut de Philippe de Montmorency qu'un seul fils nommé Louis. Depuis 1668, les de Melun ont changé deux fois d'avis sur leur premier auteur : ils ont d'abord prétendu que ce même Antoine qu'ils avaient cru fils de Charles, grand-maître de France, avait pour père Jean de Melun, seigneur de Courtery, oncle du même Charles; enfin, d'aucun mémoire imprimé en 1742, ce même Antoine est dit fils de Jean, seigneur de la Motte Saint-Florentin, dit la Borde (à Egligny), frère du même Charles. » (Remarque : Louis de Melun, fils unique du Grand-maître Charles, est donné par toutes les génealogies à la suite du Père Anselme comme le fils d'Anne-Philippe de La Rochefoucauld, pas de Philippe de Montmorency).

Cette famille du nom de Melun, seigneurs du Buignon établit sa filiation depuis Antoine de Melun, marié en 1482 à Agnès de Noyen. Elle a donné les rameaux d'Esgligny (éteint en 1731), du Gravon (éteint en 1763) et de Brumetz auquel appartenait Barthélemy de Melun (1684-1727), père d'Adam dit le vicomte de Melun (1730-1797) dont le fils : Anne-Joachim (1785-1849), comte de l'Empire (1811), vicomte de Melun (1819) épousa en 1805 Amélie de Faure dont il eut :
 Anatole, vicomte de Melun (1807-1888), marié en 1839 à  Van der Cruisse de Waziers, d'où Guillaume (1846-1886) allié à  Wartelle d'Herlincourt et qui ne laissa que deux filles (Mesdames Tardieu de Maleyssie et d'Harcourt).
 Armand (1807-1877) dont le fils mourut sans alliance en 1872.
Cette famille de Melun s'est éteinte en 1888.

La Vicomté de Melun après les Melun
À la fin du  siècle, la Vicomté de Melun se trouve répartie entre au moins trois mains :
 la branche aînée prolongée par les Longueville (branche 1 : part principale) ;
 et deux rameaux de la branche 7 (parts secondaires de la vicomté) :
 le rameau du malheureux Grand-maître Charles ci-dessus,
 et celui du non moins malheureux Charles de Melun, son oncle paternel homonyme, capitaine d'Usson, aussi décapité en 1468, puis son fils Antoine de Melun, † 1487, sire de Bourron (ils avaient hérité des droits du rameau de La Tournelle, issu de Louis de Melun de La Grange et d'Esprenne(s) († vers 1342/1349), un arrière-grand-oncle du capitaine d'Usson Charles)

En 1497, le parlementaire Guy  de L'Arbaleste achète la seigneurie de La Borde au Vicomte aux descendants du Grand-maître Charles. Puis son petit-fils Guy II de L'Arbaleste (1515-1570), président à la Chambre des Comptes, achète la part principale de la Vicomté le  sur le marquis de Rothelin ci-dessus. À la fin de l'Ancien Régime, Anne-Françoise-Elisabeth de L'Arbaleste (1707-1775) est toujours vicomtesse de Melun.

La part (secondaire) du Grand-maître semble aller vers 1500, aux Montmorency (Anne de Montmorency, connétable de France était le neveu par alliance du Grand-maître dont la  femme, épousée en 1465, était Philippe de Montmorency, dame de Vitry-en-Brie et tante du connétable). On trouve ensuite Charles de Montmorency, sans doute l'amiral de Damville (1537-1612, fils cadet d'Anne, sans postérité), puis une petite-fille du connétable, fille d'Henri, Charlotte de Montmorency, vicomtesse de Melun en partie, qui devient duchesse d'Angoulême en épousant en 1591 Charles de Valois. Leur fils Louis (1596-1653) vend cette part en  au surintendant Nicolas Fouquet, intendant de la généralité de Paris en 1648, par ailleurs acquéreur de Vaux en  et de l'Hôtel de la Vicomté à Melun en 1654. Cette part de la Vicomté et Vaux seront ensuite vendus en  au maréchal de Villars pour devenir le siège de son duché de Villars, puis en  à César Gabriel de Choiseul-Praslin pour devenir le siège de son duché de Praslin.

La part (secondaire) du capitaine d'Usson Charles, † 1468, et de son fils Antoine de Melun de Bourron, † 1487, va à deux co-acquéreurs par adjudication en  : Regnault du Chesnay et Olivier de Sallart/Sallard/Salat/Salaert de Doncker, † 1503, Grand-fauconnier de France. Un arrangement de 1502 fait passer entièrement Bourron aux Sallart (Jean et François, fils d'Olivier), et toute ladite part de la Vicomté aux du Chesnay (après Regnault, on trouve Georges et François du Chesnay/Deschenay comme vicomtes en partie de Melun). Guy II de L'Arbaleste ci-dessus acquiert en 1552 cette part et la joint à la part principale qu'il avait acquise en 1541 de François de Longueville-Rothelin.

Q: List not changing ImageView I have a program that shows a list of floors, and when one of the floors in the list is selected the program opens another activity showing an image of the selected floor. The problem is that the second activity only shows one floor no matter what floor you select.
This is my MainActivity:
public class MainActivity extends ListActivity{

ArrayList<String> floorArray = new ArrayList<String>();

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, floorArray);
    this.setListAdapter(adapter);

    floorArray.add("Våning 1");
    floorArray.add("Våning 2");
    floorArray.add("Våning 3");
    floorArray.add("Våning 4");
    floorArray.add("Våning 5");
    floorArray.add("Våning 6");
    floorArray.add("Våning 7");

    adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

    this.getListView().setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

        private void onItemSelected(){

        }

        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            Log.d("gym", "floor: " + floorArray.get(arg2));
            Intent intent = new Intent(arg1.getContext(), DisplayFloorActivity.class);
            intent.putExtra("floor",arg2);
            startActivity(intent);
            }

        });

    }

}

Here is the other activity:
public class DisplayFloorActivity extends Activity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_display_floor);
    // Show the Up button in the action bar.
    setupActionBar();
    showImage();

}

/**
 * Set up the {@link android.app.ActionBar}.
 */
private void setupActionBar() {

    getActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

}
private void showImage(){
    ImageView iView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
    Bundle extras = this.getIntent().getExtras();
    int arg2 = extras.getInt("floor");
    if(arg2==0){
        iView.setImageResource(R.drawable.floor1);
    }
    if(arg2==1){
        iView.setImageResource(R.drawable.floor2);
    }
    if(arg2==2){
        iView.setImageResource(R.drawable.floor3);
    }
    if(arg2==3){
        iView.setImageResource(R.drawable.floor4);
    }
    if(arg2==4){
        iView.setImageResource(R.drawable.floor5);
    }
    if(arg2==5){
        iView.setImageResource(R.drawable.floor6);
    }
    if(arg2==6){
        iView.setImageResource(R.drawable.floor7);
    }

}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.display_floor, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {

    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

}

Do I have to use a different method to create a list?

The Honors Program in any of the concentrations within the CLPS Department gives undergraduates a special opportunity to carry out a research project under the direction of a faculty member.
We strongly recommend that the research project should be developed by the student in consultation with his or her faculty sponsor during or prior to the student's sixth semester. This allows the sponsor and student a chance to set up a summer research program and/or a reading list before the summer break. A honors application must be submitted to the relevant Concentration Advisor (or the Honors Advisor in the case of Psychology) for approval early in the student's 7th semester. The research is to be completed in time for an honors thesis to be written and an oral presentation of the work to be given at the end of the eighth semester. Participation in the program allows students to develop an understanding of research and acquire research skills and background. The program also provides the opportunity for outstanding senior concentrators to receive their undergraduate degree with Honors. We strongly encourage all qualified A.B. and Sc.B. concentrators to consider the Honors Program.
The decision to conduct an independent research project is a significant commitment on the part of both the student and the sponsor. Be prepared to devote from 10-20 hrs/wk to your independent research project. Because each professor can advise only a limited number of honors students each year, there sometimes are more students interested in conducting research than there are openings with advisors. Thus it is important to establish a relationship with potential sponsors by your 6th semester, usually the semester before you would like to begin your project, if not sooner. Additionally, depending on the field, you may want to begin your research in the sixth semester or the summer before the seventh semester. In this case you should consult with a potential sponsor in the fifth semester.
Prerequisites for students wishing to be admitted to the honors program: A 3.5 GPA in the field of concentration is normally required. In addition, honors candidates in Cognitive Science, Cognitive Neuroscience, and Psychology must have completed the statistics requirement (e.g., CLPS 0900) and at least one lab course (a credit in a directed research course may be substituted for the lab course). Candidates in Linguistics must have completed the core course requirement.
Declaration due date: Applications to the honors program are due no later than Friday September 14 (5pm) for students graduating in May 2019. Also note that Honors students in Cognitive Science, Cognitive Neuroscience, and Psychology must take CLPS 1980 in conjunction with their honors' thesis research each term during this academic year. Linguistics honors students must take at least one independent study course (CLPS 1980) during this academic year. Each prospective honors student should submit to their Concentration Advisor (for Cognitive Science, Cognitive Neuroscience, or Linguistics) or to the Honors Advisor (for Psychology) a declaration of honors form which includes: (a) research topic/project title, (b) faculty advisor, (c) information on the plan for completing the project, and (d) the signature of the faculty advisor.
In their 7th and 8th semesters, honors students in Cognitive Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, and Psychology must normally take two semesters of directed research (CLPS 1980). Linguistics honors students must take at least one independent study course (CLPS 1970 or CLPS 1980).
The student is expected to maintain a 3.5 GPA or better through her/his senior year.
An appropriate independent research project must be completed to the satisfaction of the student's faculty sponsor, and the student must present a thesis describing the research project. The thesis must be written independently by each student; theses written by more than one student are not acceptable. The thesis is read and signed by the faculty sponsor and then, following the schedule outlined below, is submitted for review to the appropriate CLPS Undergraduate Committee.
Each honors candidate will give an oral presentation to members of the CLPS department; presentations are also open to the public. The oral presentation gives the student an opportunity to describe the Honors Research Project, and allows the department faculty the opportunity to learn about the research being conducted by undergraduates within the Department and to assess the accomplishments of each candidate.
Throughout the year, students conducting honors projects are expected to attend the Department's colloquia and outside speaker series relevant to their concentration field.
Prior to the last day of exams of the 7th semester each honors student must meet with honors/concentration advisor in the relevant program to discuss her/his progress on the project.
Because the demands of each Honors project may vary, each student should work out a specific schedule for the completion of the project with her or his sponsor. A draft copy of the thesis should be submitted to the faculty advisor well before the Honors Exams (please arrange for an appropriate date). Two final copies, BOUND AND ON ACID-FREE PAPER, must be submitted to the faculty sponsor and CLPS department BEFORE 12:00 noon, April 23, 2019. Theses will NOT be accepted after this time. Deliver the bound thesis to Michelle Ross in room 135, Metcalf Research Building. Also, send an electronic copy to [email protected], to your faculty advisor, and to the appropriate concentration advisor.
Please address further questions to your faculty advisor and concentration advisor (including an appropriate date for submitting your draft thesis before the oral exams).
Sponsors for Honors thesis research should be faculty at the rank of Professor, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor, Senior Lecturer or Lecturer, whose primary appointment at Brown is in the Department of Cognitive, Linguistic and Psychological Sciences. Faculty from other departments, and those who hold Research or Visiting appointments in CLPS may also be able to serve as sponsors, if approved by the Departmental Undergraduate Curriculum Committee. Generally it is best to call or email a faculty member and make an appointment to discuss the possibility of working with her/him. Any questions concerning the appropriateness of research for Honors should be addressed to the Concentration Advisor (or Honors Advisor for Psychology concentrators).
The Declaration of Honors in CLPS Application form is available as a downloadable Word document.

Couldn't find something that quite answers this so thought I'd try posting. Apologies if I missed any good resources that already exist. I'm considering getting into the game and am in the picking a faction stage. I've read up on playstyles, decided what I think looks cool, and have it somewhat narrowed down.
But what I'd really like to understand is if there are clear tiers of which factions are most supported by GW. It's obvious that Stormcast are, but beyond that, is there a clear set of factions that are highly supported(tier 1), some that are mostly supported (tier2), and some that are at risk of not getting much in the way of new models/books/etc (tier 3)? I want to avoid picking an army that isn't going to get any love in the future.
And then anything relegated to legends is gone.
I think it's almost certain the following will get new books this year or next at latest, at the very least they are 'safe'... unless it's a major release when they get their new books you might get new spells, terrain, a hero or two but their core model ranges exist.
Everchosen/Slaves to Darkness/Darkoath (again will probably be a big release with new models).
of the remaining I think Bonesplitterz are prob safe (worst case they get folded into some kind of combined Orruk army with Ironjawz).
It's the order ones are where it gets tricky.
its generally assumed there will be 2 brand new Aelf armies released at some point in the next year or 2.
the existing Aelf ones will either get folded into those or just as likely folded into some grand 'Free Cities' book with some combination of the Ironweld, Free Peoples, maybe some Duardin. So just tread carefully there.
we'll also probably get something random and vaguely unexpected (something for death maybe either an expanded Soulblight or DeathRattle or Deathwalkers) and something totally out of the blue.
in terms of what is competitive though I'm sure others will be able to advise and it does change but LoN and DoK currently seem to be the beat sticks but this will change.

Athens: Explore the cradle of civilization
Athens, the capital of Greece is a heady mix of the classic and modern, the grungy and the civil, the historic and the contemporary. As one of the world's oldest cities, Athens has a history that dates back around 3,400 years and conjures up images of Greek deities, colossal marble structures and philosophical discourse.
Designated the first European "Capital of Culture" in 1985, the Greek capital dominates the region of Attica from its location overlooking the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Home to two UNESCO World Heritage sites, the cultural and architectural heritage of Athens is unrivalled. Modern Athenian life takes place amongst centuries-old Byzantine, Roman, Ottoman and neoclassical structures in a city recognized as the birthplace of Western civilization. A center for the arts, learning and philosophy with an undeniable edginess and vibrancy situated on the Eastern Mediterranean, Athens has something for everyone.
Athens is also home to many art galleries and museums and the symbolic archaeological sites of Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum. If you are looking for a little retail therapy, there is a diverse range of locales including colorful bazaars and lively street markets to chic suburban malls. After a day of culture and sightseeing, eating out is a treat with a choice of venues ranging from gourmet fine-dining to street food, traditional tavernas and neo-tavernas.
Come and visit the city with one of the oldest histories of Europe and book a flight to Athens now.
How do you get from the airport to Athens?
Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (ATH) is located 27 km (17 miles) east of the city center. Open 24 hours, the airport has many facilities and excellent public transportation connections to Athens via express bus, suburban Metro railway and taxi. The train journey from the airport to central Athens is approximately 30 minutes and approximately 45 minutes via express bus service. There are also always plenty of canary yellow taxis available outside the airport terminals and offering reasonably priced fares.
What about getting around the city?
Public transportation in Athens is good value and services are extensive, making it easy to get around. An "integrated" ticket is available for different durations and allows travel on any mode of public transportation with unlimited transfers anywhere within Athens. Tickets are available at every station.
What else is good to know?
Before traveling on public transportation in Athens, you must validate your ticket prior to going to the platform. Ticket inspection is rigorous, fines are hefty and inspectors will not hesitate to call in assistance in the event of objections.
Uncover layers of history in historic Athens
Any season is a good time to visit and uncover layers of history in Athens. The city enjoys the temperate Mediterranean climate year-round. There can be only one Capital of Culture, and this is Athens.
In such a historical city it's not easy to decide what attractions to visit first and so we picked out the most popular ones for you:
Mount Lycabettus
New Acropolis Museum
Open air Odeon of Herodes theatre
Kerameikos
Byzantine and Christian Museum
Athens street art scene
Panathenaic Stadium
Embark on a journey to the summit of Mount Lycabettus in Kolonaki and marvel at the landscape sprawling at your feet. A walk up this 227-metre (745-foot) hill will take 2-3 hours. If you prefer a less physical approach, take the funicular tramway to the top for the best views of Athens and the Aegean.
Explore Athens on foot. Start from Vasilisis Amalias Street along past the New Acropolis Museum, the Acropolis, the open-air Odeon of Herodes theater down to Kerameikos (Gkazi) for a break and pause for reflection while sipping an ouzo at a traditional taverna and watching the sunset over the Acropolis.
For a lesson in ancient Greek history, don't miss the impressive 25,000-piece Byzantine and Christian Museum with exhibits dating from the Early Christian, Byzantine, medieval and post-Byzantine eras and pieces collected from all over Greece.
If modern street art is your thing, take an alternative tour of the Athens street art scene – one of Europe's hottest centers for street art featuring both local and international artists. Discover the coolest urban areas in Athens while learning about the meaning behind the art and how each relates to the current social and economic situation in the Greek capital.
One of the most popular attractions in Athens is the spectacular horseshoe-shaped Panathenaic Stadium. Built entirely out of marble, before every Olympic Games, the home of the first modern Olympic Games receives the Olympic Flame for an official hand-over ceremony to the new host country. Locals refer to the stadium as "Kallimarmaro" (made of fine marble).
Tour around the Acropolis
Encircled on three sides by mountains, Athens is built on 12 hills, all of which provide spectacular panoramic views of the city, out to the Saronic Gulf and the "Athenian Riviera", stretching along the southern coast. Seven of the hills have historic and cultural significance, with the most prominent being the Acropolis and Lykavittos (Mount Lycabettus). Visible from almost everywhere in the city, the Acropolis of Athens is a hilltop citadel crowned by the magnificent marble silhouette of the iconic Parthenon. The Acropolis is also home to several other ancient structures of great cultural and architectural significance including the Temple of Athena Nike and the Erechtheion with its famous "Porch of the Caryatids". Walk an entire circuit of the Acropolis and ancient Agora on pedestrianized streets, while filling your Instagram with images taken from every angle of some of the most recognizable icons of Western civilization. Explore the narrow alleyways of the historic heart of Athens nestled at the foot of the Acropolis, in the largely pedestrianized area of Pláka, home to the Roman Forum.
Athens architectural heritage
The architectural heritage of Athens can be seen throughout the city, with the influence of the Ottoman, Byzantine and Roman cultures still evident alongside landmarks of the modern era. The largest temple in Greece is the Temple of Olympian Zeus located in central Athens, which has retained 16 of its 104 Corinthian columns of 17 meters (56 feet). Not far away, you'll find the 17th century Ottoman Fethiye Mosque and the Byzantine Daphni Monastery, which is a designated UNESCO World Heritage site. Landmarks of the modern era include the Academy of Athens and the Old Royal Building on Syntagama Square, which has housed the Hellenic Parliament since 1934.

When in Athens...
Athens welcomes you with a crackling and vibrant energy that emanates from city streets lined with cafes, tavernas and bars that are packed day and night. Socializing is big business in Athens and the Greeks like to enjoy a drink slowly while socializing, accompanied by a few nibbles or meze to share over several hours. Athens is a tale of two cities with its hectic and modern urban vibe tempered by the distinctive genial atmosphere that flows through the city streets.
Eating in Athens – a culinary revolution
From a culinary perspective, Greek food has had a significant influence on Europe and beyond, while in turn being influenced by both Eastern and Western cultures and age-old tradition. Fresh vegetables, fish and seafood and lamb play a significant role in Greek cuisine with flavors changing depending on season.
Food markets are often the best place to experience the essence of the culinary culture of a city, mingle with the locals and discover a genuine side of the city. Varvakios Agorà (Central Market) is the perfect place to try Greek specialties and pick up culinary souvenirs and edible delights. On Saturdays in Athens you can also find a farmer's market in each neighborhood.
The wide range of shopping opportunities in Athens
The cobblestone streets in central Athens are pedestrianized, making retail therapy a breeze. The main shopping street in Athens is Ermou Street, named after the Greek god of commerce – Hermes. Lined with both local and foreign retail outlets, it is one of the most expensive in Europe. The historic Monastiraki Square is about half a mile down Ermou Street heading west and home to the Athens Flea Market – a jumble of stalls and outlets selling artisanal soaps, handmade sandals, souvenir T-shirts and more. The streets around Monastiraki Square are crammed with traditional tavernas and restaurants where you can take a break while admiring a view of the Acropolis.

The cost of fully fitted double glazed windows can vary across the UK, but in general it is a very competitive market and if you shop around you could find something within your budget in terms of quality & products.
Obviously, the more windows you want to buy the more you will have to spend, but the cost per individual window should work out less if you are buying more than 1 at a time. Most come with a 10 Year guarantee, but you should also get a good workmanship warranty that covers any potential problems for a reasonable period after the windows are installed.
Many folks want to get straight to looking at comparing double glazing prices, so below is a representative sample of double glazing cost found online – the cost for your home will be different. These prices are for information only & don't represent an offer to buy or sell.
Which type of double glazed window design is the best value for money?
What can I do to make the cost of buying new double glazed windows lower?
How Much do Double Glazed Windows Cost? - Sample Prices for Double Glazed Windows in 2018.
There is more to take into account than just the main dimensions of the window itself, there are quite a few other features that can either lower or raise the cost of your work, for example the quality of the frames themselves & the material, uPVC can be quite low priced in comparison to hardwood or if you choose to have a wood grain coloured uPVC window this design will be more expensive than a standard plain white version.
The number of opening windows within the frame can also change the price, as can the type of glass. The double glazed window panes come in different versions, usually you can find sealed units with different width "air gaps", these can range from 5mm to 21mm with options to have the gap filled with an inert energy saving gas such as Argon.
The Window Energy Rating (WER) is designated on each unit (applies to the whole window + frames, not just the glass) and it you can expect to find that the higher the WER, the higher the initial pricing.
For Sash windows, traditional wooden box sash models will be costlier than any uPVC Casement Window and if you need a bespoke design because of matching your existing property, such as a Bay or Bow Window, or if there is some kind of planning requirement then the cost will definitely be at the top end of the range.
How do different double glazed window designs impact on prices?
As we mentioned above, there are quite a number of things that can affect the cost of double glazed windows. The first of these is related to what style of double glazed window is being fitted.
There are a lot of variations in the market, but in general, you are going to see Casement Windows and Sash Windows as the "foundation" of most of the different window styles.
1 Casement windows – open by swinging on hinges fitted to either the top, bottom or side of the frames.
2 Sash Windows – open by sliding vertically or horizontally within the out window frames.
So, from Sash or Casement, which are the cheapest double glazed windows?
For any given window size, you are going to find that Sash windows are more expensive than casement windows. This is purely down to the complexity of the Sash window functionality.
Sash window frames need to house the counter-balancing system, which means a more detailed designs with more parts and labour. This need for extra material, greater fabrication skills and complicated construction process manifests itself in higher pricing.
The frames for Casement windows are very simple and there are a lot less "moving parts". You will also find that the bigger the opening you need to fill, the wider the gap in pricing will become.
So the answer here, is that Casement windows are the cheapest to buy.
Having just compared the visual aspect for price, it's a logical step to now look at the material from which the windows cam be manufactured and how that can impact prices.
With wood you have 3 alternatives, soft, hard or engineered timbers. Without doubt, softwood windows will be the cheapest, engineered woods occupy the middle ground and hardwood the top of the timber windows price range.
Aluminium windows are fast becoming a favourite due to their longevity, slimline looks and vast colour range, but they are somewhat more expensive than UPVC or Softwood, but very similar in price to hardwood windows.
From the above paragraphs you should now have an idea that UPVC is likely to sit somewhere in the middle of the price range for double glazed windows. Not as expensive as aluminium or hardwoods, buy costlier than softwood.
So the answer here, is that softwood windows are the cheapest to buy.
You should also take into account the performance of the window in terms of energy efficiency as a price factor. You may be aware that Windows & Doors are labelled to identify their energy ratings (The WER label), running from A++ to G (G is the worst rating).
It's probably not going to come as a surprise to learn that A++ rated windows are more expensive than G rated windows. However, a C rating is the lowest acceptable to meet current UK building regulations. So, unless you have some special permission, or reason to do so, you can't fit double glazed windows rated lower than C to your home.
So the answer here, is that "C" windows are probably the cheapest to buy.
Theoretically, given what we have covered above, the cheapest double glazed windows to buy are C-rated, softwood casement windows, but are you getting value for money from the purchase?
Actually, "value for money" can be a subjective issue – for example; if you were just replacing some existing older failing or broken windows of the same type to give your home a quick facelift prior to selling (and it helped you sell the house), then I dare say that you got great value for money.
Or if you are on a very tight budget and were looking to the shorter term, then this is an effective solution to get new windows on a tight budget. This all changes, however, if you look at the longer term comparison.
Softwood is notoriously susceptible to failure such as splitting, rotting, shrinkage, expansion, insect damage (woodworm) and so on. Unless you pay very close attention and lavish care and attention, to a set of softwood windows, they are going to fail comparatively quickly and then you have to replace them. At least doubling your costs and certainly doubling the time & effort needed.
In terms of lifespan, UPVC and aluminium are very similar, both also having low maintenance requirements. Hardwood windows will last a very long time if you look after them, so it's pretty much even here. I think, what it's going to come down to is the cost involved.
In our opinion, the best value for money double glazed windows are made from UPVC, because they last just as long, have just as many design options but are lower in price than hardwood or aluminium.
There are a couple of things that you can do to help lower the initial cost of buying double glazed windows. One is to do with compromise and the other to do with a little time and patience.
If we deal with the areas of compromise first, here are some items that can have variable quality standards and therefore potentially impact prices.
Material – look into engineered timbers or even recycled uPVC windows.
Glazing – double glazed units run from 6mm to 20mm gap. 16mm is optimal. The 20mm gap (28mm unit in total) is the costliest (6mm might be a bit too narrow).
Chambered profiles – UPVC & aluminium have "honeycombed" frames. 6 or 8 chambers can be found, usually less chambers means a lower purchase price without compromising too much on energy efficiency.
Opening sections – both Casement & Sash windows prices increase the more sections you have opening. A double hung sash will cost more than a single Sash window (1 section or 2 sections opening). Only have sections that open if you really need them to open.
Colours – UPVC & aluminium both have colour options – use the standard colour (white) as you could be charged for a different colour.
Do you really need trickle vents? – these are an optional extra and in a well ventilated room you can do without them.
Gas filled double glazed units are very effective, but can you manage with standard double glazed units? They are usually less costly.
Window Cills – oddly enough, some companies charge for window cills, see if you can get them included in the price.
Solar glazing – low emissivity oxide coated glass is great for heat reduction, but can be charged as an extra. Are there windows that don't need it (e.g.in places that don't get a lot of sun)?
Window furniture – handles & locks, other than standard fittings, can attract an extra cost. If you don't need fancy coloured, satin, chrome or brass handles, stick with the basic ones and keep costs down.
What you can do with a little time & patience!
Assuming that you have both, the best thing you can do is shop around. The more quotes you get from different providers, the more likely you are to find a really competitive price for your double glazed windows.
If you are not in a super hurry, why not get as many as you can?
You can then use the quotes to your advantage to try and negotiate a better deal. Never miss the opportunity to ask for a better deal because the market is very competitive and you should take proper advantage of the "power of being a buyer".

National Irrigators' Council CEO to tour Murrumbidgee region
by Admin | 1 September 2009
The new CEO of the National Irrigators' Council, Danny O'Brien, will tour the Murrumbidgee irrigation area this week.
Mr O'Brien was recently appointed to the NIC, which is the peak national body for irrigators.
The NIC's objective is to develop projects and policies to ensure the efficiency, viability and sustainability of Australian irrigated agriculture and the security and reliability of water entitlements.
Mr O'Brien will begin his tour with a visit to Coleambally tomorrow (Wednesday), before moving on to Darlington Point, Whitton, Griffith and Leeton over Thursday and Friday. The visit will include meetings with NIC member organisations, farm tours and discussions with local farmers.
Mr O'Brien will also take advantage of the opportunity to listen to local irrigators at a number of Murrumbidgee Irrigation's "shed" meetings.
He said the trip was a fact – finding mission to learn more about local irrigation practices, current challenges and the key issues that local irrigators want the NIC to tackle.
"Everyone is facing difficult circumstances at the moment, whether it's through ongoing drought and low allocations, concerns about government policies or the impact of the Murray Darling Basin Plan which is currently under development," Mr O'Brien said.
"I look forward to hearing the views of local irrigators so the NIC can better represent their interests in our dealings with government.
"Irrigation is the key economic driver in the Murrumbidgee and we will be working to ensure it remains a viable, sustainable industry well into the future."

Could we worry about those calories later, pretty please?

A real Mensch
Veröffentlicht am März 22, 2022 März 21, 2022 Katgeorien Demokratie, Erinnerungsarbeit, Faschismus / Antifaschismus, israel & palästina - Zeitschrift für Dialog, Israel und Palästina, Portrait
In memoriam Herbert C. Kelman s. A. | (* 18. März 1927 in Wien; † 1. März 2022 in Cambridge, Massachusetts)
Ofer Zalzberg, Autor verschiedener Beiträge in unserer Zeitschrift israel & palästina, seines Zeichens Middle East program director at the Herbert C. Kelman Institute for Interactive Conflict Transformation,
erinnert in einem persönlichen Nachruf an der jüngst verstorbenen Friedens- und Konfliktforscher.
Haaretz, 17. März 2022
Herbert C. Kelman, a social psychologist who pioneered the fields of peace studies and conflict resolution, holding dozens of Israeli-Palestinian dialogue workshops over the last 40 years, died March 1, 2022 at 94.
Prof. Kelman was born in Vienna, where already as a boy he studied Hebrew language and literature. He was active in a Zionist youth group affiliated with the Religious Kibbutz Movement.
He fled Austria with his family roughly a year after Nazi Germany's 1938 annexation, eventually launching a new chapter of his life in New York. His deep interest in social psychology was shaped by the traumatic events of World War II and the Holocaust.
Kelman – with whom I exchanged ideas and didn't always agree – was a towering figure in the area of conflict studies stressing that human beings are not infinitely malleable. Rather, they hold on to certain nonnegotiables for which they are ready to die and kill.
One cannot, it follows, compel people to embrace certain values or behaviors, even when the price is incredibly high. Indeed, efforts to negotiate resolution solely based on interests fail in conflicts involving such nonnegotiables. Worse, they risk escalating them.
Kelman consequently posited that addressing conflict requires structured interaction between the parties so that they adequately appreciate their adversaries' profound human needs, as well as their own.
Durable accommodation can be achieved only after such carefully facilitated encounters. Repeated foreign-policy failures seeking to subdue people into positions they cannot embrace have underlined the relevance of Kelman's scholarship.
Herb began his work with influential Israelis and Palestinians in the late 1970s when, much like today, political prospects for a peace agreement seemed dim. Still, he sought avenues for achieving progress despite the reputational risks of tackling core-conflict issues with decision-makers on both sides. The very fact of his meetings with Yasser Arafat in Beirut in the early '80s was both groundbreaking and controversial.
So was his convening of Israeli and Palestinian leaders to explore ways to move toward mutual recognition and address core-conflict issues. During and between workshops his wife, Rose Brousman Kelman, indefatigably assisted him.
Legions of scholars speak of Herb as their mentor, confiding deep appreciation of his transformative contribution to their personal development. While I did not study under him, I did experience this caring quality of his.
I sometimes differed with his approach on significant issues, such as advocating conflict transformation rather than conflict resolution, while working mostly in the local offices and homes of the parties to the conflict rather than in workshops abroad. Plus I called for moves beyond liberal peacemaking so as to include non-liberal worldviews, notably religious ones. But even when I differed with his approach, he continued to generously support my professional and academic growth.
Kelman became one of the most influential scholars and educators in social psychology and conflict studies, securing senior positions at Harvard, training numerous academics and authoring a raft of groundbreaking books and articles. His CV suggests that he won every possible academic award for research, yet he was clearly most moved when he gained increasing recognition in his Austrian homeland over the last two decades.
Herb recounted how tears came to his eyes when he read a request by a prominent Vienna-based organization for conflict transformation: It was renaming the institute after him. The institute's Austrian leaders, Wilfried Graf and Gudrun Kramer, who lived in Jerusalem at the time, saw this as a way to continue Herb's work between Vienna and Jerusalem – under new conditions and in new forms. They noted that this was also symbolic acknowledgment of Austria's wrongdoing against the Jews and a re-welcoming of Herb's thoughtful academic contribution by the nation that chased him away.
I feel fortunate to have known him, to have exchanged views with him both theoretically and politically, and to currently work at the Herbert C. Kelman Institute for Interactive Conflict Transformation. He was a truly kind man, of utmost integrity, with incredible sensitivity to people's human needs, whatever their origins. A real mensch.

For first visitors to the website, this section is an expanded and enriched version of the older section on the individual elements of Japanese gardens. Just as there is no such thing as a typical Japanese garden, no single element is a required or expected component of a Japanese garden. It must also be remembered that gardens are always a work in progress, never a finished production, so that the individual elements one encounters today may not have been part of the original design, and may not be in the future. All we intend to do with this part of the web site is to offer the user a wide variety of photographs taken over the course of the last two decades and featuring primarily the historically significant gardens of Kyoto and Nara. We make no claims for the aesthetic superiority of any one feature, or for its applicability to modern garden design, but we do hope that it provides the visitor with a sense of the beauty and variety of Japanese gardens. [Not all of the gardens represented in this section are covered in that part of the website that deals extensively with individual gardens, but if the caption below a detail has a clickable link, it will take you to that section and its more extensive coverage of the garden.]<

Awesome scenes. Love how they each tell their own story. So often it's just 'these two people are in the middle of an action scene!', but your scenes open up the imagination a bit more. "Night Fishing" made me laugh, once I realized what was going on. Can't say the same for the poor guy on the boat though!


Our Golden Agers ministry is a ministry that serves seniors in our church and community. This ministry, led by Lynn Brust, our former pulpit minister of 40 years, allows seniors to spend time together and build their relationships with one another, grow closer to God, and have a lot of fun!

They also have activities that award prizes to a lucky recipient each week (by random drawing) to those who participated in the weekly Bible Quiz challenge. They also celebrate anniversaries and birthdays! If you are a senior or a person who loves spending time with seniors then come and join our Golden Agers gatherings.

Jerry Douglas and his band hits the State Room stage Sunday, Nov. 5.
SALT LAKE CITY — To say that Jerry Douglas has collaborated with nearly everyone in the music industry isn't that much of an exaggeration.
A renowned dobro guitar player, Douglas has worked with bluegrass staples Alison Krauss, Earl Scruggs and Bela Fleck and crossed over into other genres to work with James Taylor, Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, Elvis Costello, Mumford and Sons and many more.
A recipient of 14 Grammys, Douglas is bringing his seasoned career to Salt Lake City's State Room on Sunday, Nov. 5. The musician spoke about his musical upbringing and career in a recent interview.
The way Douglas sees it, he didn't have much of a choice in the music he listened to as a young boy.
Every morning, his parents played Flatt & Scruggs in his northeastern Ohio home, and as a child, Douglas couldn't even fathom one day sharing the stage with such artists.
Now, he can't even recall how many times he's played with Earl Scruggs, who passed away in 2012, but he does know each time was special, as the banjo picker was one of the musicians that made him want to play music in the first place.
"They were all magical — every one," he said. "When you finished your solo, Earl was looking at you and he was smiling at you. It was all you needed. It was an affirmation from the king, and you were already feeling great just being there with him.
Douglas was 11 years old when he first played the dobro — a resonator guitar with a large metal plate in the body's center — having been inspired by a Flatt & Scruggs concert he attended with his father. After a feeble attempt to transform his Silvertone guitar into a dobro — which he said ended up making his guitar "fold up like a notebook" — Douglas found a real dobro and never stopped playing.
"I loved the sound of it," he said. "How bluesy it was and how much like the human voice it could be.
And despite his passion and talent for the instrument, Douglas initially kept his dobro guitar playing a secret.
But word got out between his junior and senior year when he abandoned football practice for the summer to go on tour with bluegrass band The Country Gentlemen.
And now he's the go-to guy.
During the interview, Douglas chuckles, recalling the time he met Paul McCartney and being shocked when the Beatle got the first word in, complimenting him on his solo in a 2012 version of "The Boxer" with Paul Simon and Mumford and Sons.
Or the time he was beside himself when he played alongside James Taylor, doing everything in his power to keep from drooling.
Lately, the musician has been investing a lot of time in his Jerry Douglas Band — a group that blends elements of jazz, rock 'n' roll and, of course, bluegrass.
The Jerry Douglas Band hits the State Room stage Sunday night, and while Douglas is excited to share the band's debut album "What if" with his Salt Lake City audience, he's especially looking forward to doing so with food from the Red Iguana in his system.
When: Sunday, Nov. 5, 8 p.m.
Where: State Room, 638 S. State St.

School closures a hot topic at forum
School closures, teacher working conditions and improving student achievement were among the range of issues put to trustee candidates.

School closures, teacher working conditions and improving student achievement were among the range of issues put to Nanaimo trustee candidates at Wednesday's public meeting.
About 100 parents, district employees and community members attended the event, sponsored by the Nanaimo District Teachers' Association and the District Parent Advisory Council, at John Barsby Secondary School.
Each candidate was asked one question and given two opportunities to speak to another candidate's question.
Former trustee TerryLynn Saunders was asked where she stood on school closures – a hot button issue in the district since the former facilities plan called for closing four elementary schools, two secondary schools and building a new school on the Woodlands site.
Saunders, who voted for school closures three years ago, told the room she would vote to close schools if necessary.
"We have a lot of empty spaces in our district," she said. "If you want to have safe schools, upgraded schools … you better start thinking about it and thinking about it seriously."
Incumbent Nelson Allen called the school closure debate a "dead issue" because enrolment is going to start rising again.
Labour relations was another focus and questions included the teachers' job action, improving relations between the district and employee groups and last spring's court ruling that found legislation stripping teacher contracts of classroom size and composition limits violated teachers' rights.
Incumbent Jamie Brennan said he's anxious for teachers and the province to come to an agreement on how to rectify the problems with the legislation, as he's eager to see more money flow into classrooms.
"It's a matter of money now," he said.
Nancy Curley, who has worked in the labour relations field for many years, said in her experience, improving relations between teachers and the district starts with trust and showing employees they are valued through fair collective agreements.
Noah Routley criticized the school board for sending the superintendent's report on class sizes, which included more than 100 oversized classes this fall, to the Education Ministry.
He said the report needs to include more information than merely stating the classes are appropriate for student learning.
As for improving the experience for students, incumbent Sharon Welch said enhancing the creative classes like sports, drama and music will engage students and get them excited about school.
One of Kim Howland's priorities is to ensure the board hears more from students – the ones who are being impacted by its decisions.
Bill Robinson said his goal is to focus on and celebrate all of the success stories in the district.
"When you celebrate these successes, you build the kind of energy that gives you strength to tackle your challenges," he said.
Rosmy Jean Louis said he would focus on creating policies that ensure students have equal educational opportunities in any school in the district.
