  • Magdalene Lauridsen (1873–1957): Danish Pioneer in the Field of Home Economics
    Annette Rasmussen and Karen E. Andreasen Aalborg University Magdalene Lauridsen (1873–1957): Danish pioneer in the field of home economics ABSTRACT: Magdalene Lauridsen (1873–1957) founded the first Danish school of home economics 1895 and later, in 1903, the first teacher training college of home economics and housekeeping. She initiated the Association of Teachers in Housekeeping and Home Economics, and the Danish Home Economics and Housekeeping Movement. She fought for the educational rights of women from especially rural areas and was very active in representing the women’s movement in local politics. In this paper, we ask, what characterised her activities in a wider historical perspective and how did she happen to play this particular role in adult education? We analyse these questions by drawing on Nordic studies of women’s role in contemporary society and thus frame it by the history sociology of gender. The empirical material includes both primary and secondary sources to illuminate the life and activities of Magdalene Lauridsen. We conclude the analysis by emphasizing the influences from abroad and from growing up in an active Folk High School environment that made her a pioneer in adult education. KEYWORDS: Home economics, woman pioneer, folk high school movement, education in rural areas, domestication. Introduction Magdalene Lauridsen (1873–1957) was one of the most intriguing fig- ures of Scandinavian adult education during the first half of the 20th century. At a time when women’s social roles were restricted to caring for the home, to providing for a husband, and to having limited access to education, she was a pioneer in launching itinerant courses and evening classes for farmers’ wives and other country homemakers.

Is there anyone there?“ Marguerite called out loudly. “Yes, right beside you,” I replied, trying to reassure her. People who are dying sometimes wonder whether they are still alive and with people they know. As their priest, I have heard this question a number of times during visits with terminally ill patients. But Marguerite repeated her question despite my response: She wasn’t calling to me at all, and it took me a moment to realize that. I had found Marguerite in bed, on oxygen, and far from her normal, alert self. She was one of my favorites among the congregation of the small Episcopalian church that I serve in Barrytown, New York. She proved to be the best critic of sermons I have ever met. A formidable professional, she had been a social worker in Manhattan and possessed a passion for children’s rights that did not wane with her retirement. After she passed the age of ninety, congestive heart failure gradually sapped life from her. She couldn’t travel to church any longer, but we made it a point to meet at her home late in the afternoon once or twice a month to talk politics, gardening, and religion, drink gin and tonics, and pray together.

And the O.A.T. Enhanced! The Baltic Capitals & St. Petersburg itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: What I love about the little town of Harmi, Estonia, is that it has a lot of heart. Its residents came together to save their local school, and now it’s a thriving hub for community events. Harmi is a new partner of our Grand Circle Foundation, and you’ll live a Day in the Life here, visiting the school and a family farm, and sharing a farm-to-table lunch with our hosts. I love the outdoors and I love art, so my walk in the woods with O.A.T. Trip Experience Leader Inese turned into something extraordinary when she led me along the path called the “Witches Hill” in Lithuania. It’s populated by 80 wooden sculptures of witches, faeries, and spirits that derive from old pagan beliefs. You’ll go there, too (and I bet you’ll be as surprised as I was to learn how prevalent those pagan practices still are.) I was also surprised—and saddened—to learn how terribly the Baltic people were persecuted during the Soviet era.

  • Woody and Grassy Vegetation Development in Different Landscape Elements of the Curonian Spit
    [Type text] Aplinkos tyrimai, inžinerija ir vadyba, 2009. Nr. 4(50), P. 30 - 36 ISSN 1392-1649 Environmental Research, Engineering and Management, 2009. No. 4(50), P. 30 - 36 Woody and Grassy Vegetation Development in Different Landscape Elements of the Curonian Spit Algimantas M. Olšauskas Klaipeda University (received in July, 2009, accepted in December, 2009) The species of woody and grassy vegetation grow on the seashore sands and wastes. These plants are adapted for less favorable existence conditions, some of them growing in littoral habitats of excessive moisture and salinity, the others tolerate infertile and dry sand. The aim of this study has been to analyze the dispersion of vegetation in different relief elements of the coastal protective dunes, to search for relation between woody and grassy plant species, and to foresee the tendencies of further seashore landscape development. It has been established that in the locations of an intensive flow of visitors a net of trodden paths is formed where the plants cover is disappearing very fast as there are suitable conditions for the spring and autumn winds to erode the coastal protective dune of the seashore of the Curonian spit. In a couple of years a trodden path turns into sand drifting corridors of 2 – 3 m. wide, and the trodden and lain places by holiday makers extend to 4 – 5 m. wide pits and hollows. After interconnection of these formations they shape different size deflations. The drifting sand carried by the prevailing western direction winds swamp the plains beyond coastal dunes and the outskirts of the forest and sandy meadows.

  • Priory of Sion.Pdf
    Priory of Sion members Pierre Plantard Leonardo da Vinci Philippe, Marquis de Chérisey Isaac Newton According to the Dossiers secrets, the primary aim of the Priory of Sion is the protection and advancement of the descendants of the Merovingian dynasty, their ultimate objective being placing them on the throne of – or at least in positions of power and influence in - France. The President of the 1956 Priory of Sion was Andre Bonhomme. Andre Bonhomme was one of the four founding members of the Priory of Sion in Annemasse in 1956, along with Pierre Plantard. He is tired of being harassed by inquiries about the nature of the association and doesn't want any publicity - he refuses to be interviewed on tv or radio. He doesn't understand where people get the idea that the Priory was anything other than what it was - just a small club of friends. This was the statement he made to the BBC in 1996: "The Priory of Sion doesn't exist anymore. We were never involved in any activities of a political nature.

I haven't seen Pierre Plantard in over 20 years and I don't know what he's up to but he always had a great imagination. I don't know why people try to make such a big thing out of nothing."

The present species composition of charophytes in the estuarine part of the Curonian Lagoon consisted of 7 species, including tolerant to salinity (Chara aspera, C. contraria, C. globularis and Nitellopsis obtusa) and typical brackish-water species (Chara baltica, C. canescens DOI: 10.1515/ohs-2017-0019 and Tolypella nidifica). The highest congruence of species Category: Original research paper was between the 1997-2007 and 2014-2015 datasets, Received: July 20, 2016 which covered respectively eutrophication and post-eu- trophication periods. The 1949-1959 dataset (closest to the Accepted: October 21, 2016 reference conditions) differed by the absence of typical brackish-water species. The 1960-1980 dataset (the major period of eutrophication) was relatively poor in study sites and species. During the last 6 decades, only tolerant to 1Laboratory of Flora and Geobotany, Nature salinity freshwater species were constant and abundant; Research Centre, Institute of Botany, only Nitella mucronata can be considered as extinct.
