One form of this cooperation has been the development of personnel, centered on training programs. Among our training programs conducted in Nara, there is first of all our Group Training Course, to which we invite 15 specialists from 15 nations for one month of training on two themes, “Preservation and Restoration of Wooden Structures” and “Research, Analysis and Preservation of Archaeological Sites and Remains,” held in alternate years. Because the participants come from 15 different nations, the lectures and other aspects are conducted in English. From 2000 to the present, there have been 18 persons from the Nepal participating in this group training. -
Aim of the Game
AIM OF THE GAME DRIVEN GAME SHOOTING IN BRITAIN TODAY Game shoots around England are in a unique position to help maintain a diverse countryside where shooting and conservation work hand in hand. Slowing the decline of farmland birds is a prime example of this. Well planned game cover strips, field margins and hedgerows can not only benefit game but also provide food and shelter for many other bird species such as the twite in the Pennines and the tree sparrow and corn bunting in lowland England. Projects in Cheshire, Dorset and Somerset, under the BASC’s ‘Green Shoots’ biodiversity programme, have shown how linking shoot management with landscape scale conservation initiatives can bring even greater benefits to wildlife under increasing pressure to adapt to climate change and other challenges. The game shooters’ intimate knowledge of ‘their patch’ can also lead to the discovery of previously unknown populations of rare or threatened species as recent new records in Cheshire of dormice, barn owls and water vole bear witness. These are just some of the examples of where we can deliver more for our biodiversity and landscape. So much can be gained when we harness our collective knowledge and passion for the countryside.

Ljubica Vinulović the Miracle of Latomos: from the Apse of the Hosios David to the Icon from Poganovo
Ljubica Vinulović The Miracle of Latomos: From the Apse of the Hosios David to the Icon from Poganovo. The Migration of the Idea of Salvation Abstract The main preoccupation of this paper will be iconographical analysis of depictions of the Miracle of Latomos, and the way in which this scene migrated from Greece to Bulgaria and Serbia. Firstly, we will discuss the historical background of the Miracle of Latomos and its composition, which is very specific in Byzantine art. Given the fact that it is depicted only three times in Byzantine art, in the mosaic in the apse of the church of Hosios David in Thessaloniki, in the mural painting in the ossuary in Bachkovo monastery in Bulgaria and in the double-sided icon from Poganovo, it has aroused great interest among art historians. The mosaic from Ho- sios David was discovered in 1927, and since then to (up until) the cleaning of the Icon from Poganovo in 1959, the composition of the Miracle of Latomos has had various, interpretations. We will try to explain how this composition has changed its iconography over the centuries and also discuss the question of patronage of the Icon from Poganovo. We will use the iconographic method and try to prove that this composition in all three cases has eschatological character. Key words: Miracle of Latomos, Theodora, Thessaloniki, Hosios David, Ossuary in Bachkovo monastery, Icon from Poganovo, Virgin Kataphyge, John the Theolo- gian, Helena Mrnjavčević The Miracle of Latomos can be traced back to the end of the third century AD, and it is closely related to the city of Thessaloniki and to princess Theodora who was a daughter of August Maximian, co-ruler with the Emperor Diocle- tian, who ruled in Milan during the fourth century.1 This information is prob- ably inaccurate. -
Residences in Ano Poli (Upper Town) of Thessaloniki, Greece
JOURNAL "SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, CULTURE, TRADITIONS".................Volume 1a/2019 THE ‘KASTROPLIKTON’ RESIDENCES IN ANO POLI (UPPER TOWN) OF THESSALONIKI, GREECE. STATUS AND PROSPECTS OF PRESERVATION DOI: 10.26341/issn.2241-4002-2019-1a-3 Christina – Zoi Kefala Civil Engineer TE MSc in Historic Conservation, Oxford Brookes University Nikolaos Samaras University of Thessaly, Greece [email protected] Abstract The refugees, who came to Thessaloniki after the Minor Asia Catastrophe in 1922, according to the Treaty of Lausanne, were settled either in the abandoned Muslim residences or in new ones built in any free plot in Ano Poli of Thessaloniki. Due to the lack of space, some residences were developed along the Byzantine Wall of the City even in contact with it, using the Wall as part of the residence, making it impossible for the visitor to gain access to it, or even to see it. Since 1931, the project of the designation of the City Wall began and a Presidential Decree (Gov. Gazette 406Α΄ / 04.12.1931) was published and it was suggested the creation of a green belt alongside of the Wall. With the implementation of the Presidential Decree, about 900 houses are partially or fully demolished for the construction of the green belt. After that, the buildings of this zone are characterized as demolished and called "kastroplikton" and nowadays are divided in three categories, those that are still inhabited, those that have been abandoned and those that have already been collapsed due to lack of maintenance. Because of the designation of the City Wall, which had already been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, new presidential decrees and a lot of studies of the local authorities were published. -
