Errata in Issue 76, the the Cover Illustration Was Mislabeled ISSUE 77 iviAG is QUA If you should find yourself in Italy or more particularly Florence, be sure to visit the Botanic Gardens which are open most mornings. The garden was once tended by Pietro Antonio Micheli who of course gave his name to the genus Michelia (now reclassified as Magnolia) and the street where the garden entrance is found is called Piazza Micheli. Of course, when you realize who the plant was named after it raises pro- nunciation questions. Some say MIKEeelia, others say MEEstt-elia and others opt for MEEK-elia. Me? I'm not gonna join in .. !! Glyn and his wife, Gail, live near New Plymouth on the west coast of the north island of New Zealand. Their home is at the foot of Mount Taranaki, a Mt Fuji look alike seen in the Tom Cruise movie The Last Samurai.

  • The Social History of Taranaki 1840-2010 Puke Ariki New Zealand
    Date : 07/06/2006 Common Ground: the social history of Taranaki 1840-2010 Bill Mcnaught Puke Ariki New Zealand Meeting: 153 Genealogy and Local History Simultaneous Interpretation: No WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 72ND IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL 20-24 August 2006, Seoul, Korea http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla72/index.htm Abstract: Puke Ariki opened in 2003 and is the flagship museum, library and archival institution for Taranaki. Some commentators have suggested that there is no region in New Zealand with a richer heritage than Taranaki, but some episodes were among the most difficult in New Zealand’s history. There is a growing view that New Zealand needs to talk about some of its difficult history before it can heal the wounds that are still apparent in society. ‘Common Ground’ is a ground-breaking 5 year programme that begins in 2006 to look at the social history of Taranaki including some of the painful chapters. This paper explains some of the background and ways of joint working across library, museum and archival professions at Puke Ariki. Puke Ariki (pronounced ‘poo kay ah ree kee’ with equal emphasis on each syllable) means ‘Hill of Chiefs’ in the Māori language. Before Europeans arrived it was a fortified Māori settlement - also a sacred site because the bones of many chiefs are said to have been interred there. When the British settlers founded the small city of New Plymouth in the 19th century they removed the hill and used the soil as the foundation material for industrial building. Today it is the location for the flagship Taranaki museum, library and archival institution.

Quinn: Canton Ticino And The Italian Swiss Immigration To California Canton Ticino and the Italian Swiss Immigration to California by Tony Quinn “The southernmost of Switzerland’s twenty-six cantons, the Ticino, may speak Italian, sing Italian, eat Italian, drink Italian and rival any Italian region in scenic beauty—but it isn’t Italy,” so writes author Paul Hofmann1 describing the one Swiss canton where Italian is the required language and the cultural tie is to Italy to the south, not to the rest of Switzerland to the north. Unlike the German and French speaking parts of Switzerland with an identity distinct from Germany and France, Italian Switzerland, which accounts for only five percent of the country, clings strongly to its Italian heritage. But at the same time, the Ticinese2 are fully Swiss, very proud of being part of Switzerland, and with an air of disapproval of Italy’s ever present government crises and its tie to the European Union and the Euro zone, neither of which Ticino has the slightest interest in joining.

  • Ecosystem Services Assessment in the Maggia River M
    TiRiLab Report No. 4 Ecosystem services assessment in the Maggia River m Gloria Fontana Anna Retsa January 2019 TiRiLab is part of the project HyMoCARES (HydroMorphological assessment and management at basin scale for the Conservation of Alpine Rivers and re- lated Ecosystem Services). Partial funding is provided under the EU Alpine Space Programme through the New Regional Policy of the Swiss Confederation and by the Republic and Canton of Ticino. Disclaimer: This is a student report produced as part of the education pro- gramme in the Master of Environmental Engineering at ETH Zürich. The results reported here are not scientifically reviewed, do not necessarily represent the views of the supervisors, and should be used with caution. For more information contact: Peter Molnar ([email protected]) Master Project i Abstract The importance of Ecosystem Services assessment is building consent among the private and public sectors related to decision making and is spreading to various management fields. River ecosystem services in particular are being addressed to promote the development of applicable tools in the water man- agement sector. Maggia river ecosystem services assessment is the focus of the present study: the analysis conducted can be defined as a combination of methodologies, tools, and operational guidelines that led to the definition of a framework approach for the assessment of ecosystem services in the domain represented by Maggia valley. The assessment concerns the current state as well as an analysis related to the dependence of the ecosystem services on land use changes and on flow release profiles. A preliminary phase of research was conducted to comprehend the physical and socio-economical features of the territory and to identify the ecosystem serviced to be addressed.

  • Geological Hazards Agricultural and Pastoral Producers Can Thank Mount Taranaki’S Historical Eruptions for the Region’S Fertile Soils
    Mount Taranaki is closely monitored for signs of eruption. Geological hazards Agricultural and pastoral producers can thank Mount Taranaki’s historical eruptions for the region’s fertile soils. However, a volcanic eruption today has the potential to affect the region for a long period of time. Volcanic eruption is the region’s key geological hazard and the mountain is monitored closely to ensure timely and appropriate action can be taken if there is any threat of an event. Taranaki is less likely to experience earthquakes and liquefaction than other regions because of the geographical distance from New Zealand’s major fault lines and the types of soil in the region. However, being on the coast means the region could be affected by storm surges or earthquake-created tsunami. The Taranaki coastline has high rates of erosion. ‘Volcanic eruption is the A number of national and regional agencies and region’s key geological organisations are responsible for monitoring and preparing for potential geological hazards in the region. hazard.’ Volcanic eruption At 2,518 metres high, Mount Taranaki is the second highest peak in the North Island and one of the most symmetrical volcanic cones in the world. The mountain is the youngest and only remaining active volcano in a chain that includes the Kaitake and Pouakai ranges, Paritūtū, and the Sugar Loaf Islands. The Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences Limited (GNS) undertakes volcanic monitoring through the nationwide GeoNet network. GNS has nine regional seismometers that detect any local earthquakes or magma movement that would indicate the beginning of an eruption.

  • Occhi Sul Ticino Il Paesaggio Visto Da Artisti Confederati E Stranieri Del Secolo Scorso 6 Dicembre 2020 - 7 Marzo 2021
    Dicastero Cultura Piazzetta de’ Capitani 2 CH-6600 Locarno +41 (0)91 756 31 70 [email protected] Occhi sul Ticino Il paesaggio visto da artisti confederati e stranieri del secolo scorso 6 dicembre 2020 - 7 marzo 2021 Comunicato stampa Il Museo Casorella presenterà a partire dal prossimo 6 dicembre la nuova esposizione temporanea intitolata Occhi sul Ticino. Il paesaggio visto da artisti confederati e stranieri del secolo scorso. L’iniziativa s’inserisce nel solco del progetto cantonale Cultura in movimento, promosso dal Dipartimento dell’educazione, della cultura e dello sport (DECS) e dal Dipartimento delle finanze e dell’economia (DFE), volto a valorizzare il concetto di mobilità nell’anno dell’apertura della galleria di base del Ceneri. Casorella partecipa a questa iniziativa e coglie l’occasione di mettere in luce il virtuoso ambiente socio-culturale instaurato durante il secolo scorso da personalità straniere e confederate che si sono trasferite in Ticino e che hanno dunque viaggiato per raggiungere il Sud della Svizzera. Nel corso del Novecento il nostro Cantone è stato per molti protagonisti della scena culturale un territorio ideale per esprimere la loro creatività e instaurare solide relazioni. L’arrivo, il passaggio, il soggiorno, il radicarsi di questi personaggi ha contribuito alla nascita di luoghi di riferimento di grande interesse della storia e cultura contemporanea, basti pensare al Monte Verità, ma anche al Locarnese e al Sottoceneri. Il Museo Casorella si concentra pertanto sugli artisti confederati e stranieri che durante la prima metà del XX secolo hanno soggiornato nelle nostre regioni confrontandosi con il paesaggio del Sud delle Alpi.

Abbondio, S. Nazzaro e Vira Gambarogno, a procedere all’adozione delle modifiche dello statuto, come previsto in virtù dei combinati disposti degli art.li 10 e 7 della legge sul consorziamento dei Comuni. Queste disposizioni legali prevedono infatti la decisione dei legislativi comunali anche nel caso della modifica dello statuto consortile. Tali modifiche, che non hanno conseguenza alcuna per il Comune di Locarno, si rendono necessarie in seguito alla fusione dei Comuni di Cadenazzo e di Robasacco nel nuovo comune di Cadenazzo. Le modifiche comportano pertanto l’adeguamento delle quote e ripartizioni valevoli per il nuovo Comune di Cadenazzo, mentre che per tutti gli altri Comuni la situazione rimane invariata.

Throughout the world, mountain ownership and management has become an integral part of many Indigenous peoples’ struggles for self-determination.
