Die Kieler Gelehrtenschule (KGS) ist ein altsprachliches, humanistisches Gymnasium der Landeshauptstadt Kiel im Stadtteil Brunswik. Sie ist die zweitälteste Schule des Landes Schleswig-Holstein, nach der Domschule Schleswig.

Geschichte

Am 17. Februar 1320 wurde dem Magister Henricus de Culmine von Graf Johann II. von Holstein-Kiel das Privileg zur Errichtung einer Schule in Kiel erteilt. 1350 bezog die Schule ein Gebäude am Nikolaikirchhof und stand unter der Trägerschaft der Stadt Kiel und des Klosters Bordesholm. Zu dieser Zeit war jeweils der Hauptpastor an der Kieler St. Nikolaikirche Rektor der Schule und Lehrer der ersten Lateinklasse. Nach der Reformation trennte sich die Schule 1534 vom Bordesholmer Kloster und bezog ein neues Gebäude im ehemaligen Kieler Kloster. Getragen wurde sie als Kieler Stadtschule seitdem von der Geistlichkeit und der Stadt Kiel. Maßgeblich war für sie nun die Bugenhagensche Kirchenordnung. 1556 zog die Schule in ein Gebäude in der Haßstrasse erneut um. Zu dieser Zeit hatte die Schule etwa 80 Schüler. Etwa 1600 wurde an der Kieler Gelehrtenschule der Altgriechisch-Unterricht eingeführt. Der Dreißigjährige Krieg führte zu einem steten Niedergang der Schule, der auch durch die Neugründung der Universität nicht aufgehalten werden konnte. 1734 versuchten die Gottorper Landesherrn durch eine neue Schulordnung vergeblich das Schulwesen zu erneuern.

Erst 1797 gelang unter dem Rektor Erasmus Danielsen eine durchgreifende Erneuerung der Stadtschule, die vor allem durch die Aufteilung in eine Bürgerschule und in eine Gelehrtenschule erreicht wurde. Nur der Besuch der Gelehrtenschule befähigte zum Universitätsstudium. 1803 erfolgte der Umzug der Schule in ein Adelshaus in der Küterstraße. Die Schülerzahl lag damals bei etwa 100 Schülern.

1848 erfolgte dann die Verstaatlichung der Kieler Gelehrtenschule, lediglich die Sachträgerschaft blieb bei der Stadt Kiel. Nachdem Schleswig-Holstein 1867 zur Provinz des Staates Preußen geworden war, erlebte die Schule einen Aufschwung. 1868 konnte sie einen äußerst repräsentativen Neubau in der Dammstraße am Kleinen Kiel beziehen. Die Wandgemälde in der Aula schuf der Maler Anton von Werner. Mit dem Wachstum der Stadt Kiel stieg auch die Schülerzahl auf 500 Schüler an. 1891 wurde die Schule dann in die Sachträgerschaft des Staates Preußen übernommen. Sie hieß nun Königliches Gymnasium – Kieler Gelehrtenschule.

Nach dem Ende des Ersten Weltkrieges erhielt die Schule den Namen Staatliches Gymnasium – Kieler Gelehrtenschule. Ab 1924 wurde auch Mädchen der Besuch der Gelehrtenschule gestattet, nachdem diese hier vorher nur als externe Schülerinnen ihr Abitur hatten ablegen können.

Bei einem Luftangriff am 26. August 1944 wurde das Schulgebäude total zerstört. Ein ausgelagerter Schulunterricht fand dann noch bis April 1945 statt. Im November 1945 wurde der Unterricht im Gebäude der Humboldt-Schule wiederaufgenommen. 1953 konnte die Schule schließlich einen Neubau in der Feldstraße beziehen, der bis 1963 noch umfassende Erweiterungen erfuhr.

Über die Kieler Gelehrtenschule wurde während der Schüler- und Studentenproteste in den Jahren um 1968 häufig in den Medien berichtet, da an der Kieler Gelehrtenschule so viele Proteste gestartet wurden wie an kaum einer anderen deutschen Schule. Die Proteste häuften sich nach Aussagen des damaligen Schulleiters Reußner nach einer Studienfahrt in Italien, wo der Leiter der Fahrt Einwohner mit teilweise an NS-Jargon erinnernden Schimpfwörtern beleidigt haben soll.

Während dieser und folgender Jahre wurden vermehrt Schüler der Schule verwiesen, oft aus vergleichsweise banalen Gründen. Auf der Kieler Gelehrtenschule waren auch die Protestanführer Thomas Weisbecker und Georg von Rauch, die ebenfalls beide von der Schule verwiesen wurden. Es bestand für die Betroffenen ein Hausverbot an der Kieler Gelehrtenschule, das erst 2008 durch den Schulleiter aufgehoben wurde.

Ihre höchste Schülerzahl hatte die Gelehrtenschule 1982 mit 967 Schülern. Ein Jahr später wurde die Trägerschaft nach rund 150 Jahren wieder von der Stadt Kiel übernommen.

Gegenwart

Die Kieler Gelehrtenschule hat zurzeit etwa 520 Schüler. Als Angebotsschule steht sie Schülern aus ganz Schleswig-Holstein offen.

In der 5. Klasse haben die Schüler neben der traditionsreichen Variante, mit den beiden Fremdsprachen Latein und Englisch zu beginnen, inzwischen auch die Option, einen Englischzweig zu besuchen, in dem die Schüler in der 5. Klasse ausschließlich verstärkt Englisch und ab der 6. Klasse dann auch Latein als Fremdsprache erlernen. Bis 2015 war es zuvor stets Standard, dass die Schüler, im Gegensatz zu allen anderen Gymnasien des Landes, zwei Jahre lang keine neue Fremdsprache hinzubekamen. Als dritte Fremdsprache können die Schüler in der 9. Klasse freiwillig Altgriechisch oder Französisch wählen. Wer keine dritte Fremdsprache erlernen möchte, kann alternativ Informatik wählen. Zusätzlich kann als AG Schwedisch und im Rahmen der Begabtenförderung auch Chinesisch erlernt werden. In der Obertertia absolvieren die Schüler pflichtweise ein Sozial- und in der Unterprima ein Wirtschaftspraktikum.

Im Jahre 2011 wurde ein komplett neuer Gebäudetrakt für die Naturwissenschaften erbaut und eingeweiht.

Seit 2003 bietet die Schule für neu eingeschulte Sextaner die Möglichkeit an, im Rahmen einer sog. G8-Klasse das Abitur schon nach achtjährigem Besuch des Gymnasiums zu erwerben. Die wissenschaftliche Begleitung des Pionier-G8-Jahrganges wurde bereits 2005 eingestellt. Die Schüler dieser Klasse führen trotzdem das G8-Modell weiter. Zum Schuljahr 2019/2020 wird wieder ausschließlich das G9-Modell angeboten.

Die Tradition der Samstagschule, die zuletzt in Schleswig-Holstein nur noch an der Kieler Gelehrtenschule zu finden war, ist nun seit dem Schuljahr 2007/2008 auch hier abgeschafft worden. 2008 erhielt die KGS als einziges Gymnasium vom Bildungsministerium des Landes Schleswig-Holstein das Prädikat "Referenzschule" im Bereich der Offenen Ganztagsschulen.

Die Schule hat ein breitgefächertes Angebot für eine außerschulische musische Betätigung in Orchestern, Chören und Theatergruppen. Sie verfügt über ein, zeitweise über die Grenzen von Kiel hinaus erfolgreiches, Schulorchester. Dieses wurde jahrelang von dem Musiklehrer Klaus Hasenjäger geleitet, der für seine Leistungen im Bereich Musik von Schleswig-Holsteins damaliger Ministerpräsidentin Heide Simonis mit der Schleswig-Holstein-Medaille ausgezeichnet wurde. Weiterhin verfügt die Schule über eine Musikwerkstatt, geleitet von Thomas Nagel, die fortschrittlich im Bereich der Musikprogrammierung tätig ist und auch einen Auftritt während der Expo 2000 in Hannover hatte. Daneben bestehen mehrere sportliche Arbeitsgemeinschaften, hervorzuheben ist hier der 1883 gegründete eigenständige Schülerruderverein K.G.R.V. Teifun für Jungen.

An der Kieler Gelehrtenschule erschienen nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg eine Reihe von Schülerzeitungen, welche die Verhältnisse an der Schule teilweise kritisch begleiteten; darunter "Aha" (seit 1975), "Sisyphus" (seit 1977) und "Phönix" (seit 1986). Seit 2015 gibt es die Schülerzeitung "Papyrus", welche inhaltlich gleichermaßen auf unterhaltende wie auf tiefergehende Beiträge, z. B. zu aktuellen Themenbereichen wie der Aufnahme von Flüchtlingen, ausgerichtet ist und dabei die Schüler möglichst aller Jahrgangsstufen ansprechen und einbeziehen möchte. Seit 2021 wird die Schülerzeitung nicht mehr in Print, sondern nur online auf ihrer Website veröffentlicht.

Schüleraustauschprogramme finden mit dem Madras College, St. Andrews (Schottland), dem Lycée Pré de Cordy in Sarlat-la-Canéda (Frankreich), der Deutschen Schule in Thessaloniki, der "Hangzhou Genshan High School" in Hangzhou (China) und ehemals auch mit der Schule Nr. 7 in Kaliningrad statt.

Salon Audio Montreal / Audio Fest 2019 Show Report
Salon Audio Montreal / Audio Fest 2019 Show Report By Rick Becker
The elongated shape of the Montreal 8 room was emphasized by the vast distance of the sofas from the speakers. The minimal lighting made the room seem cavernous but the large floorstanding speakers had no trouble filling the space, being bi-amp'ed by Bryston 28B cube monoblocks ($24,000 per pair) putting out 1000 Watts each and 7B cube monoblocks ($13,390/pr) putting out 600 Watts each. The spokes on the woofer seemed like they were pulled from a Mini Cooper wheel. The room was billed as "The Ultimate Experience" powered by Solen, best known for electrical parts so I suspect the Bryston electronics in the rig had a fair amount of their parts in them.
Having large, ported cabinets and sounding dynamic, the Ultimate Experience IV v4 speakers ($60k/pr) were very efficient at 97dB. In fact, I was told they had been powered earlier by the prototype tube amp pictured above, an in-house project by Etienne Jarry. The monoblocks put out 22 Watts in SET form using a Tung Sol KT 150 tube and Hammond transformers. Price of this prototype was projected as $6/pr. I wish I could have heard that setup. A lot of people seemed to hang out here once they had entered, enjoying this $115k rig. I had the feeling they could have rocked then entire hotel if they had cranked it up to concert level. Next year I bring my SPL meter and have some fun.
Across the hall in a much smaller room and looking a lot more formal, was a Monitor Audio Gold 300 ($9000/pr) speaker in a gorgeous veneer. It was driven by a Roksan BLAK integrated amp putting out 150 Wpc, equipped with Bluetooth with aptX, a MM phono stage and a 24/196 DAC for $5699. This seemed to be a step up from the Roksan products I've seen in the past.
Nordost was doing not only themselves, but the entire industry a favor by running cable comparisons in their room. I've heard these before and anyone who is not a believer that cables make a difference on the way in, comes out a believer. Moreover, this is a gateway demonstration for the mantra that everything makes a difference.
Jeff Joseph, one of the most highly regarded speaker builders in the US, has been a frequent flyer at the Montreal show and this year he had something very special. It looked pretty much like his Pulsar monitor that has been a hit since it was introduced a decade ago. It has now become the Pulsar 2 Graphene. The cast magnesium cone with a tapered profile is now coated with graphene to make it even stiffer. Modifications to the crossover have subsequently been made. The woofer has a new suspension system, the new voice coil and former now use different metallurgy and the entire motor system has been re-engineered using finite element analysis. All this work to push the limits of what a small speaker can do have bumped the price up to $9k US and $12k CDN. As usual, Jeff achieved outstanding result with the rig set up on the diagonal and using reel-to-reel tape with special Doshi Audio tube amplification coming right from the tape heads as a source helped, too. He also had an Innuos server feeding a Brinkman Nyquist DAC. The turntable was the new VPI HW-40 direct drive turntable with a Fatboy arm and Audio Technica Art 1000 cartridge on top of the HRS stand Jeff was using. An Aesthtix Mimas integrated amp drove the Pulsars and Cardas Clear Beyond cables connected the boxes. Unquestionably, this was one of the Best Rooms at the show. Look for his room at AXPONA 2019 show where he will introduce the new Perspective 2 Graphene floorstanders.
In the large Montreal 7 room Paradigm had their next to top of the Persona line of floorstanding speaker being driven by Anthem pre and power amps, amounting to about a $40k rig. I have to say this was the best I've heard anything in the Persona line to date. Perhaps it was the larger room or the higher line Anthem amps but the speakers were finally sounding like they could be worth their cost. On the way out of the room I noticed the leaning tower of Paradigm subwoofers with a precautionary sign reading "Do Not Touch". Given that even the smallest 10" sub on top could severely rearrange your cerebral cortex if it fell, the sign should have read: If You Can Read This Sign, You're Already Standing Too Close. But the Tower of Subs really hammered home the fact that Paradigm is seriously into the subwoofer business. I've admired them at previous shows.
In the farthest room down the side hallway, Montreal 6, Martin Logan had their flagship speaker ($105k in red) sounding very good, as always, driven here by Moon solid state electronics. When these speakers premiered, they were shown with the electronics concealed behind curtains which was an interesting experience. Doing so put the focus clearly on the speaker and the music. And the music, as always with these speakers, is clear. In fact, the speaker itself is practically transparent. Large rooms, large amps and large wallets need only apply. And for sure, you want to sit on the sweet line between the speakers. Excellent sound here.
Westmount 6 was kind of by itself in the corner of the main hallway. I'm glad I didn't miss it and I'm glad I connected with Stephane Hautcoeur, founder and president of Eon Art, a very high-tech and relatively new audio company in Quebec. Their credo is Scientiae in Servitium Artis—Science in the service of art. They began in France in 2008 and moved to Quebec in 2012 and have a large scientific computer for electronic simulation and circuit optimization. Jacques Riendeau of Oracle Audio was also present with his fine analog ($22k, turntable) and digital front ends (CD drive $18k, DAC $25k). The first exceptional new product here was the Eon Art Quark integrated amplifier ($35k) with a roll-out shelf revealing the tube front end to facilitate tube rolling and replacement. Very trick. It locks into the chassis from the back. Only the very last stage of amplification is Class D providing 208 Watts of power with a custom oem output stage made by Hypex, and they have other models with even more power. In the photo of Stephane, he is holding two of their 8-layer high density double copper printed circuit boards. The smaller of the board is for the chemical capacitors and relays that the reseller can change easily as these parts degrade over time--they recommend every 5 years to maintain optimum performance. Oracle Audio will be manufacturing the chassis for their new DAC and amplifiers to the same high standards of their own turntables.
The tall Venus Acoustic Cybela speakers ($72k/pr) were the second exceptional product in Westmount 6. Eon Art bought this French speaker company two years ago and brought it to Canada. The cabinet is complex with the lower front ported bass module being the most straightforward. A complex D'appolito configuration of two midrange drivers, each in their own chassis, and front firing tweeter, again in its own chassis, adds complexity. But an examination of the rear reveals another tweeter in a separate rotating chassis as well as a separate volume control for the rear-firing tweeter. With the speakers angled in toward the listening area in the room, a static rear-firing tweeter would be aimed somewhat toward the front corners of the room, creating dispersion problems. By creating a rotating rear-firing tweeter, with the use of a supplied laser alignment kit, the rear-firing tweeter can be aimed squarely at the front wall behind the speakers. The adjustable volume of that driver allows you to tune in the desired spaciousness of the soundscape. Quite the trick! I grooved to Credence Clearwater's "Heard It Through the Grapevine" from Cosmo's Factory, a tune I'm very familiar with. This was certainly one of the most interesting rooms at the show and it sounded very, very good. I'm looking forward to their presentation in the fall in Toronto. This is definitely a company to watch.

O SK Rapid Wien (Sportklub Rapid Wien), Rapid Viena ou Rapid de Viena é um clube de futebol da Áustria, sediado em Viena.

É o clube mais vitorioso de seu país e um dos mais populares. O seu maior rival é o FK Austria Wien, com quem faz o clássico conhecido como Dérbi de Viena.

O Rapid é conhecido como os alvi-verdes, por causa das cores de seu uniforme. Seu estádio é o Allianz Stadion, localizado em Hütteldorf, distrito periférico da Grande Viena.

História

O Rapid Sports Club foi fundado em 1897 como "1. Wiener Arbeiter Fußballklub ", assumindo o nome de Rapid em 8 de janeiro de 1899; as cores vermelho-azuladas originais foram substituídas pelas cores atuais seis anos depois.

O clube conquistou 32 títulos do campeonato austríaco até agora, tornando-se o recordista nesse quesito. O Rapid também foi capaz de comemorar grandes sucessos internacionais ao vencer a Mitropa Cup em 1930 e 1951 e ao chegar à final da European Cup Winners 'Cup em 1985 e 1996.

Em 1938 e 1941, na época do nazismo, o Rapid também se tornou vencedor da Copa da Alemanha e do Campeonato Alemão de Futebol, respectivamente. O clube sempre jogou na primeira divisão desde a primeira temporada do Campeonato Austríaco em 1911/12.

O Rapid pode carregar três estrelas sob o seu escudo, pois uma estrela é concedida a cada dez títulos do Campeonato Austríaco.

Q: Ansi Encoding for Embedded Fonts in PDF Output Rendering PDFs with identical fonts using InDesign versus using LuaLaTeX with fontspec in TeXworks, I have found differences in Acrobat Reader's descriptions of the embedded font types and encoding.
.otf fonts from InDesign tend to read as Type 1 and .ttfs as TrueType, and both are ANSI encoded:

Whereas fonts from LuaLaTeX possess the (CID) qualifier after their Type and are Identity-H encoded:

How can I make LuaLaTeX produce a PDF with ANSI Encoding for all embedded fonts?

This year we are working on the value of Hope. We have a bowl of Hope in our corridor, where everyone has written what they hope for. Our collective worship centres around Hope.
Hope for the future, hope for ourselves, hope for a world of happiness and kindness. We look at stories of hope all around us and stories of hope from the Bible.
Please could you click the link below and answer a few questions about Christian Values.
We are working on Christian Values at Harworth Church of England Academy.
Christian Values work alongside the Lifesavers project, with Collective Worship focussing on Generosity and Wisdom this term. We are also working on Koinonia which is a thread that is always present in our school life.
Please look at the Christian Values website for more information.
The Christian value we are focusing on this year is Koinonia.
Our Collective Worship is centred around this value for the Spring and Summer terms 2016.

In Malay, Orangutans Means 'People of the Forest', but Those Forests Are Disappearing: The Forty-Seventh Newsletter (2022)
Español Português हिन्दी Chinese
Chéri Samba (Democratic Republic of the Congo), Reorganisation, 2002.
Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
The dust has settled at the resorts in Sharm el-Shaikh, Egypt, as delegates of countries and corporations leave the 27th Conference of the Parties (COP) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The only advance made in the final agreement was for the creation of a 'loss and damage fund' for 'vulnerable countries'. However, despite being hailed as a breakthrough, the deal is little more than the financing of the Santiago Network for Loss and Damage agreed upon at the COP25 in 2019. It also remains to be seen whether this new financing will in fact be realised. Under previous agreements, such as the Green Climate Fund established at the COP15 in 2009, developed countries promised to provide developing countries $100 billion per year in financing by 2020, but have failed to meet their stated goals. At the conclusion of COP27, the United Nations expressed 'serious concern' that those past pledges have 'not yet been met'. More importantly, the Sharm el-Sheikh Implementation Plan notes that a 'global transformation to a low-carbon economy is expected to require investment of at least $4–6 trillion a year' – a commitment that is nowhere in sight. The International Energy Agency said that, in 2022, annual global clean energy investment will remain below $1.5 trillion. This is 'record clean energy spending', they announced, and yet, it is far below the amounts that are required for a necessary transition.
'A fund for loss and damage is essential', said the UN Secretary-General António Guterres at the conclusion of this year's summit, 'but it's not an answer if the climate crisis washes a small island state off the map – or turns an entire African country to desert. The world still needs a giant leap on climate ambition. … The voices of those on the frontlines of the climate crisis must be heard'.
One of those voices is that of the orangutan, the great ape of the Bornean and Sumatran forests that the Malays call the 'people of the forest' (in Malay, orang means 'person' and hutan means 'forest'). According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List, the Bornean, Sumatran, and Tapanuli orangutans have experienced sharp population declines and are now categorised as critically endangered – the phase preceding extinction in the wild. There are less than 800 Tapanuli orangutans in existence, with the overall population of orangutans falling by almost half in the last century. They are given no voice in our climate debates.
Max Ernst (Germany), The Gray Forest, 1927.
In 2019, the United Nations released a shocking report that showed the near extinction of one million of the world's eight million animal and plant species, including the loss of 40% of amphibian species and a third of all marine mammals. As part of its findings on biodiversity and ecosystems, the authors wrote that 'species that are large, grow slowly, are habitat specialists or are carnivores – such as great apes, tropical hardwood trees, sharks, and big cats – are disappearing from many areas'. The situation is bleak, they warned, 'unless action is taken to reduce the intensity of drivers of biodiversity loss'.
What is driving this biodiversity loss? The report includes a long list in which one word comes up over and over again: deforestation. In a landmark publication, The State of the World's Forests 2020, the UN Environmental Programme (UNEP) and the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) noted that an astounding 420 million hectares of forest cover had been lost since 1990, although the rate of deforestation has declined from 16 million hectares per year in the 1990s to a mere 10 million hectares per year between 2015 and 2020. Forests cover about a third of the global land area, over four billion hectares. Half of the forests are relatively intact, while others – notably the rainforests – are in danger of being destroyed.

Just weeks after his re-election, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who will take office as the 39th president of Brazil in January 2023, returned to the global stage at COP27. He arrived along with a number of leaders from Brazil's indigenous community, including federal deputy for the state of Roraima, Joênia Wapichana, and three newly elected members of Congress: Célia Xakriabá (federal deputy for the state of Minas Gerais), Sônia Guajajara (tipped to head a new Ministry of the Indigenous People), and Marina Silva (Lula's former environment minister who is likely to resume the position). At the summit, Lula affirmed Brazil's agreement with the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Indonesia to set up an 'OPEC of the rainforests', made last year at COP26 in Glasgow. More than half of the world's rainforests are in these three countries, which are rich with resources that have been mined to profit multinational firms at great cost to the environment but have failed to advance the social development goals of their own citizens. 'It is important for these three countries to strengthen their strategic alliance in order to increase their influence in climate change negotiations at the global level', said Indonesia's coordinating minister for maritime affairs and investment, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan (Indonesia has sought to create several cartels, including one with Canada for an OPEC-like body of nickel producers).
The scale and speed at which the global rainforest is being pillaged is alarming. In 2021, the world lost 11.1 million hectares of rainforest cover, roughly the size of the island of Cuba. To put it in football terms with the World Cup underway, the world lost 10 football pitches of rainforest per minute. Brazil, under Jair Bolsonaro, witnessed the greatest devastation of any country last year, with 1.5 million hectares lost. These old forests, dense with vegetation and animals, are now gone. 'We are going to wage a very strong fight against illegal deforestation', Lula said at COP27.
Miguel Penha (Brazil), Mata Verde ('Green Jungle'), 2017.
Brazil, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Indonesia are not alone. The Forest and Climate Leaders' Partnership, chaired by Ghana and the United States and made up of 53 countries, has made bold pledges to end deforestation. Ahead of COP27, Colombia's minister of environment and sustainable development, Susana Muhamad, announced the creation of an Amazon Bloc made up of the nine countries that share the region's rainforest (Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Guyana, Suriname, Venezuela, and French-occupied Guiana). Norway, meanwhile, has said that after Lula takes office it will resume providing funds to Brazil for rainforest protection, which had been suspended during Bolsonaro's presidency.
The Brazil-Democratic Republic of Congo-Indonesia approach is designed in the framework of mitigation, adaptation, and investment, not through the empty conversation of the COP. Indonesia's deputy minister for environment and forestry management, Nani Hendriati, explained how the country would promote ecotourism in the mangrove forests through a 'blue carbon' approach to ensure that tourism does not tear up the mangroves, seeking to halt the longstanding and rampant deforestation in the country (for example, 40% of Indonesia's vast mangrove system was destroyed between 1980 and 2005 alone). New initiatives in the country, for instance, promote crab farming in the mangroves rather than allowing their destruction. In this spirit, Indonesia's President Joko Widodo took world leaders to plant mangrove seeds in the Taman Hutan Raya Ngurah Rai Forest Park during the G20 meeting in Bali, Indonesia, which took place after COP27.

Such photo opportunities are important if they genuinely seek to shine a light on the problem of deforestation. However, no such light was shone on the multinational mining companies who have destroyed tropical rainforests around the world. A recent study published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America examined the impact of industrial mining on deforestation in tropical regions. Looking at a selection of 26 countries, the researchers found that industrial mining in Indonesia accounted for a staggering 58.2% of the total deforestation in these countries between 2000 to 2019. However, in a concerning move, Indonesia's government passed a new mining law in 2020 that allows permits for mining to be extended with little or no environmental regulation. 'When the mining concessions increase', said Pius Ginting of the NGO Action for Ecology and Emancipation of the People (AEER), 'it drives deforestation and results in a loss of biodiversity and fragments the habitat [of animals and people]'. Indonesia revoked about two thousand mining permits this year, but this revocation is mostly due to the regularisation of the permit system, not greater regulation for environmental protection. Pressure from people's movements in Indonesia as well as from the catastrophic impact of the climate and environmental disasters have put the government on notice about its proximity to and intimacy with multinational mining companies.
Made Bayak (Indonesia), reCLAIM-ing our dreams and the future, 2014.
Meanwhile, the question of the orangutan remains unanswered. An academic review of the $1 billion spent on orangutan conservation from 2000 to 2019 found that 'habitat protection, patrolling, and public outreach had the greatest return on investment for maintaining orangutan populations'. However, these funds have not accomplished much. The key issue of ending deforestation – including halting the expansion of palm oil, pulpwood, and logging plantations in Borneo and Sumatra – is off the table. How much attention will be paid to these matters at the upcoming Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, which is to be held in Montreal (Canada) from 7–19 December? Will anyone listen to the voice of the orangutans?
In October, the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kristalina Georgieva, told a townhall of civil society organisations in Washington, DC that the IMF 'is indeed supporting biodiversity. For instance, we have economists that are able to measure the monetary value of an elephant and the value of a whale'. Georgieva's comments echo an observation made by Karl Marx in volume one of Capital (1867): 'In England, women are still occasionally used instead of horses for hauling canal boats, because the labour required to produce horses and machines is an accurately known quantity, while that required to maintain the women of the surplus-population is below all calculation'.
What is the monetary value of an orangutan, let alone the survival of the planet? The ruling class might be able to calculate those values, but it is clear that they are unwilling to foot the bill to save the planet.

Stay Alive is a strategy game, where 2-4 players try to keep their marbles from falling through holes in the game board while trying to make their opponents' marbles fall through. It was originally published by Milton Bradley in 1971 and marketed in television and print advertising as "the ultimate survival game". Stay Alive was republished with a smaller board by Winning Moves Games USA in 2005. This game is no longer in production.

Gameplay
Each player starts the game with a number of marbles in their own color.  Players adjust the slides on the board randomly to create a starting board.  Starting with a randomly chosen player, players take turns placing their marbles onto the board until all marbles are placed.  The start player then chooses a slider and moves it one click either towards or away from the board.  Each slider has holes in different locations in it and, as each is moved, the holes can align and allow marbles to fall through.  The next player then chooses a slide and moves it, with the one rule that he or she cannot choose the same slide as the player before him or her did.  If a player's last marble falls, they are out of the game.  The last player with a marble on the board is the winner.

HTML-5, not XHTML, is the future of the web.
To X, or Not to X…? Just Say No to XHTML.
XHTML is not the future of the web.
Major Consortium members are moving toward HTML5, not XHTML2.
XHTML is served by nearly all public web servers as text/html, not application/xhtml+xml. Thus, the browser ignores the xml wrapper and treats the contents just like regular HTML.
Gurus were writing about the problems of serving XHTML as text/html more than eight years ago, and nothing has changed, except that millions of developers have unknowingly embraced it.
Few browsers will render XHTML served as xml, even though XHTML was defined 10 years ago.
XHTML 1.0 Transitional, so frequently used now, is no better than HTML4 Transitional, which in some browsers is no better than no doctype at all.
XHTML 1.1 is virtually useless: it's always served as xml, and most browsers won't eat it, so they silently drop back to HTML rendering, or just spit out a DOM table.
XHTML offers no advantages or capabilities over proper HTML4 Strict.
Hmmm… that makes sense. I always wondered just what I was missing—surely there's gotta be more to XHTML that just that extra space and slash… But as it turns out, nothing at all.
To serve as HTML, remove the xml prolog and add <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" /> to the head.
To serve as XML, add the xml prolog <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> and use the MIME type application/xhtml+xml. This is still poorly supported by User Agents. Only do this when the document is actually XML, and can be served as XML.
Regardless of what you do, the web server will probably serve the document in text/html, via the server's content header, which takes precedence in the browser.
Using the xml prolog messes up several browsers, particularly IE6. Here's a browser list from webstandards.org.
Yes, the three language directives are redundant, but using them keeps all servers and browsers happy.
Forget the XML prolog. It's optional, and problematic.
Forget about putting HTML in an XML wrapper for web pages. XHTML adds absolutely nothing to well-formed HTML.
Using XHTML 1.0 Strict for couple of years taught me to abandon all deprecated tags and attributes, moving all formatting to CSS. XHTML causes one to produce pages/files that are much cleaner and much easier to maintain. But since it is served as HTML, there is actually no advantage to using it for web pages, and HTML 4.01 Strict (and HTML-5) has the same capacity to be well-formed, clean, and fully CSS-controlled.
Putting <!DOCTYPE html> on the first line of the file makes all modern browsers render in Strict mode. And that's all you need to worry about. It is also the future of the web.
Having to learn about doctypes and charsets and encodings is a royal pain… Why can't they all get on the same page and adopt the final draft of something and then make browsers that fully support it? It's a conspiracy to drive web developers crazy!
Has the web now become a religion, where traditions without verity or merit must be followed as dogma? Yes, it has—and I refuse to join.


Retro Fitting Urinal Waterless & Your Washroom Odorless !!
Aspire Solutions "Eco Urinal Blocks® Bluo™" is capable of converting existing flush based male urinals in to completely waterless urinal system; available in Aromatic Lavender, Refreshing Aqua Cool, Citrus & Ocean Breeze fragrances which deodorize whole washroom till the block gets fully dissolved; eliminating the need of additional deodorizers.
Each Eco Urinal Blocks® Bluo™ is packed with billions of Biological bacteria's & deodorizing efficiency which thrives on uric acid crystals and eliminates the solid buildup inside the drain line & prevent it from reoccurring. Uric acid crystals are made from minerals, carbon etc. It kills the root cause of smell within the washroom & it does not offer temporary masking effect unlike traditional urinal cubes do.
As Eco Urinal Blocks® Bluo™ is water soluble and once it gets in touch with liquid (urine or water) will release biological cleaning bacteria's faster & a very pleasant fragrance which provides noticeably fresh & patently felt washroom environment without flushing water. As these blocks eliminate the need of flushing water completely resulting significant cost savings on water bills, electricity & maintenance charges.
Using Eco Urinal Blocks® Bluo™ will ensure that washrooms have zero odor of urine & it comes with refreshing fragrances which refreshes the washroom environment entirely. Eco Urinal Blocks® Bluo™ is stable under normal condition (in supplied packaging) & has a life of 15,000 Usages per blocks which is comparably 5 times higher than the traditional cubes.
To know more about Eco Urinal Blocks® Bluo™ "click here.
First of all we should understand that water is only being used in urinals to remove the leftover part of urine from the urinal bowl as water doesn't eliminate or prevent the odor from being created though it plays a important role in creating bad odor & smell in washrooms.
The main cause of odor & smell is Ammonia (NH3); the formation of Ammonia occurs when Water (H2O) & Uric Acid (C5H4N4O3) get mix up & after several hours chemical reaction takes place & the formation of Ammonia (NH3) occurs.
Even after flushing fresh water we use additional fragrance based deodorizers to mask up the foul odor from the washrooms; as these deodorizers only offers a temporary masking fragrances which last very quickly causing a huge maintenance bills & health hazards.
Eco Urinal Blocks® Bluo™ can be also known as Bio urinal blocks, Urinal Screens, Urinal Deodorizers, Eco bio blocks, Eco bio Cubes, Bio cubes for urinals, Urinal cubes, Urinal cakes, Biological urinal blocks, Bio urinal Screens, Toilet cakes, Urinal balls, Waterless Urinal Blocks etc.
Odor in Urine is created when a chemical reaction take place in presence of a catalyst over the period of time creates Ammonia and carbon-dioxide. Ammonia is the main cause of odor & Blockages inside the Urinal Trap line.
But, in Eco Urinal Blocks® Bluo™ urinals there is no water and enzymes do not allow the breeding of bacteria. Thus no Ammonia Formation means no Odor, smell and solid Build inside the trap.
Eco Urinal Blocks® Bluo™ converts existing flush based urinal in to waterless & it dosen't require any sort of changes in to your retro fitting urinal thus making it 100% user friendly & cost effective. It provides noticebaly hygienic washroom environment by eliminating breading bad bacteria in urinals and it doesn't let allow urine to convert in to amonia which is the main cause of foul odor.
Even after flushing water; odor and blockages problem used to occur in Flush Based Urinals. As water is the main reason which allow urine to convert in to ammonia (NH3) and this creates foul malodour build up inside the trap line also potable water wastage is too high in flush based urinals; it takes around 2.5 Liter of water per flush to washout residuals from the urinal bowl and in reslut causes high maintenance & water bills.
It looks like as traditional urinal but has no water connectivity. It works on a cartridge based technology which contains blue seal liquid & it creates a barrier between urinal drain line and outer surface of the urinal which prevents foul smell escaping from the drain line. It's pricey & requires a high maintenance and periodically refill of the cartridge. Cleaning can only be done with a special cleaning solution provided by the manufacturer itself.

NKT Phototonics A/S: Doing Business at the Technological Frontiers
Torben Pedersen, Githa Kurdahl
Publikation: Andet › Undervisningscase
To improve its profitability, NKT Photonics A/S (NKT), a small Danish company operating in the global photonics industry, was getting ready to undertake the commercialization process of its highly advanced optical fibre technology. NKT's chief executive officer (CEO) was considering two options for accomplishing this goal: (1) establishing strategic partnerships with system integrators in order to gain access to commercial customers, or (2) repositioning NKT as a system integrator by embarking on an acquisition strategy. Turning the company into a more commercial entity would mean a complete change of culture. It might also result in the loss of some top engineering and scientific minds and perhaps even the company's reputation. The CEO wondered if there a way to effectively introduce a business mindset to the organization while still preserving its innovation-based DNA.

Musicians Freaking Out Over Meeting Other Musicians
Graham Hartmann Published: July 3, 2021
YouTube: MGK
It's normal to freak out when you meet your heroes, but these musicians were caught on tape while meeting other musicians for the first time.
In 2011, Machine Gun Kelly was an up-and-coming rapper with a love for pop-punk. When Blink-182 came to town, MGK got to meet Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker for the first time. MGK cheesed over all three Blink members, and a decade later, he'd release a No. 1 album with Barker on drums.
The Beatles are why Ozzy Osbourne wanted to join a band, and decades after he made it big with Black Sabbath, the Prince of Darkness finally got to meet Paul McCartney while visiting the Howard Stern Show. Sir Paul couldn't have been more gracious to Ozzy, treating him like a fellow rock legend before the two took a photo together.
When Linkin Park agreed to record Collision Course with Jay-Z, the two acts had never met each other before. Thanks to cameramen being on site, the moment when Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington met the rap legend was caught on film and the look in the eyes of the two rising nu-metal artists is absolutely priceless.
Check out these Musicians Freaking Out Over Meeting Other Musicians in the Loud List below.
13 Bands Other People Make You Feel Bad About Loving
No matter what you listen to, there will always be someone out there who will shame you for listening to certain bands. There's no explanation for it, but it's happened time and time again throughout the decades.

This is my second pair of Pediped shoes, and not my last. I found this Pediped brand when searching shoes for my 10 month old baby girl. I filtered my search by average customer reviews. These seemed to come highly recommended so I gave them a try. Wow, I'm so glad I did! First of all - they are adorable... I get at least one compliment a day. Second - they are soft and comfortable... she has never tried to take them off. Third - they have NEVER fallen off like every other baby shoe that exists. Last - they have a rubber sole so she doesn't slip when she's trying to pull herself up and take steps. They are perfect in every way. I wish I had found this brand for my older kids when they were pre-walkers and beginning walkers. They fit true to size, and I will absolutely be buying more!
We love pediped! Very cute church/formal shoe. My daughter walked really well in these due to being low profile letting her feel the floor.
What surfaces are these soles okay on? Will they be too slippery on carpet or wood floor? Will they be able to withstand concrete?
Hello Patrick, The Originals are ideal for infants and children learning to walk and feature soft, flexible, leather soles. They are designed so they can feel and grip the floor, basically surfaces that are found indoors.
Please enter both your email and your friend's email address below, and we'll send them information about the Originals® Naomi Black.
Please enter your email address or phone number below, and we'll notify you as soon as the Originals® Naomi Black becomes available.

Everyone put their hands up to the question – who had played with some of the brand names in this heading? The man behind such famous products, Frank Hornby, was the subject of a talk given by John Hollands to the Probus Club of Basingstoke.
Frank Hornby was born in 1863 and Liverpool was his lifelong home ending up as Conservative MP for Everton. He was a cashier for a wholesale food business and had a small workshop at home that allowed him to develop some of his ideas. Having been impressed by a book about inventors and their many failures Frank Hornby appreciated that perseverance was the key to eventual success.
He wanted boys to take up useful trades and started to develop a construction kit which he patented in 1901. He hoped it would encourage boys to find suitable engineering employment locally.
Initially called Mechanics Made Easy the name changed to Meccano in 1907. Manufacturing was outsourced and were plain metal and not of the highest quality. The product was refined and eventually painted red and green then blue and yellow.
He started manufacturing himself and quickly growing out of two larger work units it was clear that even larger premises were needed. The famous Binns Road factory in Liverpool was opened in 1914 employing up to 2000, mainly women. After WW1 Hornby introduced model trains to compete against resurgent German toy manufacturers. Export markets had decals on the trucks and passenger coaches pertinent to their own countries.
So successful were overseas markets that manufacturing plants were set up in France and eventually after a legal case over 9 years to protect his patents in America, he opened a factory in New Jersey.
Meccano magazines were published monthly aimed at boys initially featuring articles on Meccano construction. Frank Hornby was the editor for many years. Over time Meccano Magazine became a general hobby publication aimed at "boys of all ages".
The factory began making model figures to complement the train sets. Using the same scale as the trains they were called Dinky Toys. Vehicles were added to the railway layouts and thus began the third string of this toy manufacturer. No doubt every boy of a certain age, and many girls, enjoyed playing with Dinky Toys.
Increasing competition in the 1960s and 70s for die cast toys came from Mettoy's Corgi and from Match Box toys made by Lesney Products while Mattel developed their "Hot Wheels". Dinky Toys partly responded by expanding their Dinky Supertoys range which included the Mighty Antar transporter made by Thornycroft in Basingstoke.
Meccano Ltd was taken over by Lines Bros in 1964 with Hornby Dublo trains sets combing with the Triang name. Production was moved to Margate in Kent where it continues to this day.
The high cost of manufacturing in Britain took its toll and the Binns Road address closed in November 1979. Within a few years their competitors suffered the same fate.
Today Dinky Toys, especially with original boxes, command extraordinary prices at auction.

On August 15, 2016, Microsoft announced a change in the update model for older versions of Windows. This change, which becomes effective in October 2016, affects Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012 R2 and mirrors the update model for Windows 10.
NOTE: This change applies to Windows operating system updates only. It does not affect non-OS patches such as Office, IE, SQL Server, and Exchange Server.
Microsoft will provide a single monthly update (referred to as the Monthly Rollup) that addresses both Windows security and reliability issues. Each Monthly Rollup will be cumulative, including all of the current month's Windows fixes plus the previous Monthly Rollups.
In addition, Microsoft will also be slowly adding individual Windows patches that were released prior to October 2016 with an ultimate goal of having the most recent Monthly Rollup include all patches dating back to the last baseline, allowing for patching of new machines with one update. This mirrors the current Windows 10 update process.
Microsoft also stated that security patches will be combined into a separate update (referred to as the Security-only update) each month. Unlike the Monthly Rollup, the monthly Security-only update includes only the security patches released that month. This provides a smaller-sized update for machines that require security fixes but not reliability fixes.
ZENworks Patch Management will continue to provide Windows updates in the same manner that Microsoft provides them.
Beginning with the release of Windows 10, ZENworks Patch Management has supported the Windows 10 patching model. The latest change by Microsoft basically applies this same Windows 10 model to Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012 R2.
In all cases, we recommend 1) installing the Monthly Rollup to get the latest Windows security and reliability patches, 2) installing any individual Microsoft non-operating system patches, and 3) installing any third-party patches.
Be aware that the Monthly Rollup is treated as one update, meaning that all patches included in the rollup are applied regardless of the Impact criteria (Critical, Recommended, Informational, or Software Installer) you established for applying patches in your system. If desired, you can use the Security-only update to limit updates to the most critical patches.
See the original Microsoft announcement "Further simplifying servicing models for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1" for complete details.


Season the tuna and brush with olive oil. Grill on a hot griddle until cooked to your liking.
Rinse the beans and toss with the chopped onion, pepper, garlic, chilli and coriander. Season.
Make up the dressing by combining the rest of the olive oil with the Soya, honey and lime juice. Pour half the dressing over the bean salad and toss.
Place the bean salad onto 4 plates. Top with the cooked tuna and dress with the remaining dressing.
Season ostrich on both sides generously with salt and pepper and sear, in hot oil in hot wok, on both sides.
Remove and rest in medium oven, ostrich meat goes very dry and tough if it is cooked beyond medium.
Stir-fry garlic for 30 seconds, add cabbage and stir-fry for two minutes. Turn heat down and stir in peppadews. Slice ostrich thinly and serve on cabbage stir-fry, drizzled with sauce.


I'm looking forward to the day when Firefly's got enough of a cult status to warrant this type of show.
Also, I am not left handed. Improv!
Nfuahwiuefh I hate that name.
yeah, the show and the name are several years old at this point, so there's not much chance of changing that. This is a show I used to watch when I first started taking classes, and I thoroughly enjoyed it then, despite not knowing too much about Star Trek, really.
Thou art forgiven. I'm sure it will be good, personal disdain of overly nerdy jokes aside.
You know, I've been staring at those pictures for a while now, and it never struck me as to exactly who that scruffy-lookin' fella without glasses was.
Jeez, Roy. Took me forever to realize Kareem wasn't in the picture twice.
that's some impressive facial hair, roy.
Even in space, Wes always gets the ladies!
Dude, I was talking to Wes the other day about obscure improv shows (we wanted to do improvised Veronica Mars). A Firefly show would be totally sweet, but you'd have to train up on your psuedo-mandarin.
"Good lord, they've taken our 'G'!"
