    Visits4u Itineraries: History and Heritage Route Riga, Latvia

    visits4u itineraries : History and Heritage Route Riga, Latvia visits4u is co-funded by the COSME Programme of the European Union Riga, Latvia: History and Heritage Route Description of the town Riga, capital of Latvia is located on the shore of Baltic Sea, on the creek of Daugava river and with almost 700,000 inhabitants and 18 different districts is the biggest metropolis in the Baltics. Riga was founded in 1201 and is a former Hanseatic League member. Riga's historical center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, noted for its Art Nouveau/Jugendstil architecture and 19th century wooden architecture. Over the centuries, the city has developed as a center for trade, transit and later became an industrial center. Riga is also known for being a green and blooming city – large and well- kept parks, romantic squares, beautiful gardens. Already since the 18 th century, Regan’s have taken great interest in the art of gardening, creating lush public parks and picturesque squares. Unhurried walks, colourful flowerbeds, leisurely sitting in benches or lawns in a park, bird songs and leaves rustling in the wind – this is Riga where city meets Nature.

    YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® The Baltic Capitals & St. Petersburg 2022 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. 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.

Puura Received January 21, 1994; accepted March 25, 1994 Abstract. The established conodont zones in the Cambrian-Ordovician boundary beds in northern Estonia serve as a basis for the interpretation of the succession of changes in the facies cohditions of sedimentation. The facies maps compiled by time interval!? correspond to the Westergaardodina, Cordylodus andresi, C. proavus, C. lindstromi, and C. rotundatus-C. angulatus conodont zones. Phosphorite accumulation was the most intensive during the C. proavus time. The rugged topography of the underlying Lower Cambrian Tiskre and Vaki formations on the territory of the Rakvere phosphorite region was of great significance in the phosphorite accumulation. At the initial stages of phosphorite accumulation three bottom swells (islands) existed there. The most intensive piling up of phosphorite was related to these swells. They coincide in direction with the present Aseri and Ahtme disturbance zones. · l(ey words: Cambrian-Ordovician boundary beds, shelly phosphorite, Estonia. The Rakvere phosphorite region (RPR) is situated in northeastern Estonia; it comprises the Toolse and Aseri deposits in its northern part · and the Rakvere deposit in its southern part.

    Marian Thoughts of Pope Francis September 2018 September 2 – Angelus –Translated conclusion (September 1, 2018, Vatican.va). May the example and intercession of the Virgin Mary help us to always honour the Lord with our heart, witnessing to our love for him in concrete choices for the good of our brothers and sisters. September 5 – General Audience –Translated extract (September 5, 2028, Zenit.org). This choice is the Virgin Mary’s “fiat”, it’s openness to the Holy Spirit, who puts us in the steps of Christ, He who entrusts himself to the Father in the most dramatic moment and thus enters the way that leads to resurrection. September 6 – Audience (International Convention for Consecrated Widows) –Translated conclusion (September 6, 2018, Zenit.org). With this hope, I entrust you to the Lord and, through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, I impart to you my Apostolic Blessing, which I extend to those who are part of the Fraternité Notre Dame de la Résurrection and of the Communauté Anne la Prophetesse. September 9 – Audience (To Participants at the Communio Internationalis Benedictinarum Symposium) –Translated extract (September 9, 2018, Zenit.org). You bring a precious gift to the life of the Church through your feminine witness of goodness, faith, and generosity, imitating the Holy Mother of the Church, the Virgin Mary. You are icons of the Church and of our Blessed Mother: do not forget this.

    Tremadocian, Northeast Estonia): Lithology, Mineralogy, and Biostratigraphy

    Proc. Estonian Acad. Sci. Geol., 2003, 52, 3, 135–154 The stratotype of the Orasoja Member (Tremadocian, Northeast Estonia): lithology, mineralogy, and biostratigraphy Heljo Heinsalua, Dimitri Kaljoa, Tiia Kurvitsb, and Viive Viiraa a Institute of Geology at Tallinn Technical University, Estonia pst. 7, 10143 Tallinn, Estonia; [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] b Institute of Geology, University of Tartu, Vanemuise 46, 51014 Tartu, Estonia; [email protected] Received 9 June 2003 Abstract. The Orasoja Member constitutes in Northeast Estonia the upper part of the Kallavere Formation and forms some kind of transition into the Türisalu Formation. The member belongs to the Lower Ordovician part (Karepa Substage) of the Pakerort Stage. The Orasoja Member is composed of alternating beds of light quartzose siltstone and black shale. The share of shale is cyclically variable, but mainly siltstone is prevailing. Mineralogically quartz is dominant, K-feld- spar (up to 15%) forming a minor component of the rock. Mineral and grain size composition allows us to distinguish two fairly distinct cycles in the Orasoja Member, which are in correlation with changes in conodont associations. Three conodont biozones are distinguished in the section: Cordylodus proavus, C. lindstromi, and C. angulatus. The first appearance of Iapetognathus sp. in the Rannu Member is interpreted here as indicating the beginning of the Ordovician System. Graptolite occurrences give evidence of the presence of the Rhabdinopora flabelliformis socialis and R. f. anglica subzones. Earlier dendroids are missing, but this is mainly attributed to a taphonomical bias. Key words: conodonts, graptolites, stratigraphy, lithology, mineralogy, Lower Ordovician, Estonia.
