    Press release New Spaces From Gibraltar to Heligoland Press conference: Monday, 25.04.2016, 12:30 Opening: Tuesday, 26.04.2016, 19:00 The collection of Count Schack, with its masterworks of German Late Romantic painting from Schwind to Feuerbach and Böcklin, is one of the most important picture galleries in Munich. The most popular work in the museum is Franz Lenbach’s Hirtenknabe (Shepherd Boy), but there are also representative works by Georg Dillis and Carl Spitzweg in the collection. The Sammlung Schack is now finally being presented again in full, on all three floors. That part of the collection was inaccessible to the public for years, including nineteenth-century Spanish landscapes unrivalled by those in any other museum in Germany, are finally on display again in the newly renovated galleries on the second floor. The renovation of the ground-floor spaces was completed in 2008. The renovation was continued in 2009 on the occasion of the gallery building’s hundredth anniversary. The Gallery of Copies was inaugurated as a new space for the exceptional collection of copies of Old Masters. Since then, we have eagerly awaited the completion of the renovation work on this treasure among Munich’s museums with the refurbishment and modernization of the second floor. The three galleries it contains have been closed for over a decade due to the fire safety regulations. The necessary construction work, including building an emergency exit with an external staircase, furnished an occasion for carrying out energy-efficiency modernization work on the roof. The glass roofs and lighting systems have been modernized as well, with the result that these three beautiful top-lit galleries are now equipped with up-to-date lighting technology.

THE BRITISH COLONIAL SYSTEM. In a note to the first book of these Commentaries (p. 109), the Colonial System of Great Britain is spoken of as the grandest in extent and power tat world has ever known. A more detailed account of the system, and of the countries and places embraced within it, than was given in the place referred to, will justify the statement there made, and at the same time will give u particulars of British Colonial government in all its varieties. In respect to government the British colonies and possessions are classified officially in three classes, as follows: First; Those properly denominated crown colonies, in which the crown has entire control of legislation, and the is administration of whose affairs carried on by officers under the control of the home government.

In 1884 Germany proclaimed a Protectorate over the Coast south of the Cape Colony's enclave at Walvis Bay and some years later, before 1890, expanded its territorial claims in South West Africa, without systematically establishing an effective administration on the ground. The United Kingdom decided to accept Germany's territorial claims in South West Africa, even though it regarded this territory as lying within Britain's natural sphere of influence. 2. The only area in dispute was Ngamiland, north of British Bechuana- land, a territory assigned to neither power and extending from the 20th to the 24th degree of longitude. Discussions began in 1886 but it was only in 1890 after the resignation of the German Chancellor Otto von Bis- marck that the new Chancellor, General Georg Leo Von Caprivi and his Foreign Minister, Baron Marschall, accelerated diplomatic discussions with Britain over Africa.

  • Recreational In-Water Interaction with Aquatic Mammals
    CMS Distribution: General CONVENTION ON MIGRATORY UNEP/CMS/COP12/Inf.13 21 June 2017 SPECIES Original: English 12th MEETING OF THE CONFERENCE OF THE PARTIES Manila, Philippines, 23 - 28 October 2017 Agenda Item 24.2.5 RECREATIONAL IN-WATER INTERACTION WITH AQUATIC MAMMALS (Prepared by the Aquatic Mammals Working Group of the Scientific Council) Summary: As requested by the First Meeting of the Sessional Committee of the Scientific Council, the Aquatic Mammals Working Group has developed a briefing document on the impacts of tourist or recreational activities involving in-water human interaction with aquatic mammals. The related draft resolution and decision are available in UNEP/CMS/COP12/Doc.24.2.5. UNEP/CMS/COP12/Inf.13 REPORT ON RECREATIONAL IN-WATER INTERACTION WITH AQUATIC MAMMALS 1. Recreational in-water interaction with aquatic mammals, often called “aquatic mammal swim-with” (AMSW) are tourism or recreational activities involving in-water human interaction with aquatic mammals. These occur in wild settings only. In-water interactions carried out in captive and semi-captive facilities (e.g. dolphinaria interaction programmes, dolphin-assisted therapy) or any other commercial activities (e.g. collection of ‘aquatic bushmeat’; CMS-AMWG 2016) are beyond the scope of this document. 2. In-water interactions with aquatic mammals (here after called ‘Aquatic Mammal Swim-with’ or AMSW) are a fast-growing phenomenon in many locations around the world and are likely to bring widespread disturbance to aquatic mammals in many different situations and habitats, with potentially serious conservation consequences. Many of the species affected by these interactions are species listed on CMS Appendices I and II (see Annex 2).

  • Where the Hell Is Heligoland – and What Do We Know About
    Where the Hell is Heligoland – and What Do We Know About It? By Stan Cronwall Well, to begin with, Helgoland is an island – albeit a rather small one only about 2.4 kilometers long by about a kilometer at its widest running from northeast to southwest. It is really an archipelago with an adjacent even smaller island, Dune. It is part of Germany about 40 kilometers north of Wangerooge Island (the who/what?) near the Weser River and about equal distance from the islands at the mouth of the Elbe River. Your friendly Scott catalog calls it Heligoland, but it is often spelled Helgoland. Either way, it is one and the same by any name. It has been part of Germany since 1890 when it was acquired from Great Britain in the Heligoland- Zanzibar Treaty signed July 1, 1890. Germany gained the small but strategically located two island archipelago of Heligoland which its new navy needed to control the Kiel Canal then under construction and the approaches to the Elbe River. (In any case, these islands were probably indefensible for the British in light of Germany’s emerging naval power) In exchange, Great Britain gained lands in southern Africa that were essential for the construction of the railway to Lake Victoria, and Germany’s pledge to not interfere with British activities vis-à-vis Zanzibar. Anyone looking to begin collecting a country with only a few issues, Heligoland is one for your personal “short list”. During the time it was a British possession (1867 to 1890), there were only about 20 postage stamps issued.
