The sixth grade students of Les Acàcies School visited the Delta del Llobregat nature area to learn about its important wetlands and observe various bird species. The students used binoculars to get a closer look at birds like mallards, geese, Audouin's gulls, and ruffs. They also learned about the orchids that grow in the Delta del Llobregat area. The students found the tour very educational and enjoyed seeing the different birds and plants in their natural habitat.

Volgens Peter van Tuinen, opleidingsmanager Bouw van ROC Friese Poort, biedt de bouw in de nabije toekomst weer perspectief aan jonge mensen. Het project Bouwen aan de Bouw organiseerde daarom gisteren bij Centrum Duurzaam in Leeuwarden een congres voor bouwdocenten hoe zij jonge mensen voor een bouwopleiding kunnen interesseren. Daarbij is het ook belangrijk om met elkaar van gedachten te wisselen over hoe de overstap van het VMBO bouw naar MBO bouw nog beter te realiseren is. We spreken dan over de doorlopende leerlijn, aldus Herman Eldering, organisator van dit congres.

UPyD pregunta por el caso de Mohamed Cheikh Ould Mohamed, en Mauritaniaupydeuropa
El 24 de diciembre de 2014, el bloguero mauritano Mohamed Cheikh Ould Mohamed fue declarado culpable de apostasía y condenado a muerte. Había sido detenido el 2 de enero de 2014 por escribir un artículo en el que hubo quien interpretó que criticaba al profeta Mahoma y por afirmar que Mauritania permite un sistema de castas discriminatorio .
Mohamed, que lleva preso desde entonces, declaró ante el tribunal que su artículo había sido malinterpretado: su intención no había sido insultar a Mahoma, y ha dicho estar arrepentido. Varios líderes religiosos asistieron al juicio, insistiendo en supervisar el proceso para cerciorarse de que se aplicaba la ley islámica.
No ha habido ninguna ejecución en Mauritania desde 1987, y Mohamed es la primera persona condenada a muerte por apostasía desde la independencia del país en 1960. El acusado puede optar a un indulto por parte del Tribunal Supremo si queda probado su arrepentimiento, de conformidad con el artículo 306 del Código Penal mauritano.
¿Tiene la VP/AR noticia del caso de Mohamed Cheikh Ould Mohamed?
¿Qué gestiones han emprendido la VP/AR o el Servicio Europeo de Acción Exterior en el presente caso? ¿Cómo piensan proceder de ahora en adelante para obtener su puesta en libertad inmediata e incondicional?
Respuesta a la pregunta por el caso de Mohamed Cheikh Ould Mohamed, en Maurit...upydeuropa
La UE está perfectamente al tanto del caso de Mohamed Cheikh Ould Mohamed y ha estado muy atenta al mismo desde su detención y encarcelamiento en enero de 2014 por acusaciones de apostasía, tanto en Bruselas como a nivel local, a través de su Delegación en Mauritania.
El asunto de Mohamed Cheikh Ould Mohamed es muy delicado en Mauritania y ha dado lugar a manifestaciones masivas contra él. Plantea una serie de cuestiones que preocupan a la UE, como la pena de muerte, la necesidad de respetar sus derechos procedimentales y jurídicos, la libertad de expresión y la libertad de religión o creencias.
Tras la sentencia condenatoria de Mohamed Cheikh Ould Mohamed, la UE y sus Estados miembros hicieron una declaración in situ en la que lamentaban dicha condena y expresaban la esperanza de que el Tribunal Supremo, ante el que el Sr. Mohamed Cheikh Ould Mohamed ya ha recurrido, revocara este castigo.
El Tribunal Supremo aún no se ha pronunciado y no dispone de ningún plazo concreto para pronunciarse sobre el recurso de casación.
La UE sigue comprometida con el asunto y la Delegación de la Unión Europea en Nuakchot continúa observando con mucha atención el curso de la situación, como parte de nuestro diálogo permanente con las autoridades y la sociedad civil a fin de contribuir positivamente a la revocación de la condena a pena de muerte de Mohamed Cheikh Ould Mohamed.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

MIGRATORY BIRDS
7. MALLARD
Males have blue green head, dun or brown chest, white neck, grey body and black tail. As
distinctive treats have dark orange beak and blue and white spectacles in their wings. Females
have duller colors in dark dun. Mallard inhabits in all kind of wetlands (natural or man-made)
regardless of their area, depth or humanization scale. It nests away from farm lands. It can breed
on trees too. It occupies riverbeds perfectly.
Mallards are herbivorous. At breeding, females lay from 3 to 12 eggs that are going to hatch out
in a period of 15 to 27 days. Females take care of their chicks alone. Chicks are yellow with
brown patches. Their almost independents from the very first day, they feed themselves and in 2
or 3 months they are completely ready to fly.
8. GEESE
They belong to the family of Anserini, where geese, ducks and swans are classified. These animals
are aquatic birds and, depending on the species, are divers or swimmers and, generally, migratory.
They possess a flatten beak covered by thin skin with a hornic blotch in the spot.
The plumage that cover their bodies is protected thanks to a grease segregation expelled by his
uropigial layer, located on the top of their tails. Geese possess a size inferior to swans and superior
to ducks. They tend to concentrate in grain or forage areas. Males and females are equal in
coloration, so we can only identify them for their size and weight.
Geese offer differences with the rest of anseriform birds, like the fact that they are more terrestrial
than swans, so their legs are adapted to walk for a longer time. They are, together with swans, the
heavier flying birds, but they can go over longer distances on high altitudes, being able of migrate
during the different stages of the year.

11. AUDOUIN’S GULL
Audouin’s gull is a limited species, it breeds spread in islets of the Mediterranean and it’s similar to the European
herring gull.
Of unknown habits, because it doesn’t get close to shores. It nests in rocky islets. One of the best studied
colonies is the one discovered in Columbretes Islands (Castellón), breeding 40 couples approx. It also nests in
the Balearic Islands, the Chafarinas, etc. Is relatively sedentary, but with spread movements. Is an endangered
species.
Identification: Adults have pale grey dorsal feathers and the rest of the feathers are white. In their wings stands
out the black tips whith white ends. The beak is red with a transverse black patch and a yellow tip. The legs are
dark green.
Nesting: It nests in colonies over the ground. The nest is used to be made of dry algae and hidden in the limited
vegetation of the islets; It lay from 2 to 3 ochre eggs with some dull spots. This is between the end of April and
May; the incubation is made by both parents for about 23 days. The chicks are nidifugous.
Diet: Fish and molluscs; some scraps.
Habitat: Rocky islets and sea-cliffs.
12. RUFF (Philomachus Pugnax)
Long-legged bird, slender neck, small head and beak of medium length. Males are considerably bigger than
females. Male summer plumage is composed by plumes in ears and flashy collars of various colors. It has whitey
patches in the rump that forms a V form visible during flying.
Size: Length 31-34 cm (males), 25-26 cm (females), reach of wings 52-60 cm (males), 46-50 cm (females),
Weight 168-242g (males), 85-126 (females).
Nesting: In depressions between the vegetation, covered by dry grass. It constructs a cover over the nest, similar
to a roof, made of growing grass.
Reproduction: It lays 4 eggs from May to June, incubated by the female during 21 to 24 days. Chicks abandon
the nest just after and they learn rapidly to search food. They learn to fly in around 23 days.
Presence: They nest in marshes and swamps. The amount of reproductive birds is decreasing in the south and
in the centre of Finland. The reproductive population is estimated in 5000 to 8000 couples.
Migration: Males fly to the south in June or July, females and younger birds migrate later, from July to
September. Birds of both genders come back from April to May, after passing winter around the Mediterranean
and Africa.
15. ORCHIDS OF THE LLOBREGAT DELTA
The name orchid comes from the Greek “orchis”, that means testicle, for its big similarity that
represent its pseudo-tubercles of some genders with male atributes. Orchids are vigorous plants- its
sub-terranean part it keeps alive during years, while the aerial part renews annually. Most of the
orchids use insects as pollinator agents - entomofil pollination- although some species and flowers
not visited can liberate their pollins over the stigmatic surface consuming the auto-reproduction.
Comparing with the tropical species, most of the Mediterranean orchids are small plants, hard to
observe in their natural environment, but, once discovered, their beauty make them an object of
contemplation and admiration.
