La réplique de l'Arche de Palmyre
25 years of ´ luxembourg, ancient quartiers and fortifications´ World Cutural Heritage
FR: Made from a 3D printing technology, the replica of the Arch of Palmyra at scale 2/3 will rise on the forecourt of the Abbey. The Roman triumphal arch destroyed by Daesh in the heart of the ancient city of Palmyra in Syria was made by the Institute of Digital Archaelogy. Exhibited in London, Florence, Washington and Bern, it demonstrates how digital can help preserve or at least preserve the legacy of a past too often undermined by men. This gesture must signify that the heritage of outstanding universal value concerns the entire planet, and that a UNESCO site is part of a network of values ​​in common.
Thanks to a wonderful crew in #Luxembourg,
 Palmyra's Triumphal Arch is rising at historic Neimenster Abbey

PRESENTATION | Welcome to neimënster 

The Alzette River winding through Grund, Luxembourg

Historical significance to this date:
Locations: The Ardennes: Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany
Brandenberger's Seventh Army pushed towards Luxembourg 
The Germans achieved a total surprise attack on the morning of 16 December 1944, due to a combination of Allied overconfidence, preoccupation with Allied offensive plans, and poor aerial reconnaissance due to bad weather. The Battle of the Bulge, also known as the Ardennes Counteroffensive, was the last major German offensive campaign on the Western Front during World War II, and took place from 16 December 1944 to 25 January 1945.   

After the middle of the 14th century, Emperor Charles IV attempted to secure Brandenburg for the House of Luxembourg. The Margraviate of Brandenburg was a major principality of the Holy Roman Empire.

This reproduction of the Arch of Palmyra represents the fragility of humanity. The replica of the caravan city’s monumental edifice symbolizes the triumph of cooperation over conflict, of hope over despair and the ingenuity of mankind when faced with pointless destruction.

neimënster as a centre for cultural exchange and meetings organizes activities that are based on the idea of "a dialogue of cultures, culture of dialogue".
The Neumünster Abbey Cultural Center (neimënster) inaugurated in May 2004 after ten years of work, is located in the heart of the old districts, on a UNESCO World Heritage Route. Boasting spectacular scenery, this architectural ensemble, which has experienced four centuries of turbulent history, is today devoted to cultural projects and is at the same time a wonderful place for major events. On its 12,000 m 2 , they are almost 700 to be held each year in this place open to everyone who wants meeting space for "dialogue of cultures and the culture of dialogue."
The three buildings constituting the Center have been baptized in a very significant way. They are part of this perspective of respect for a past full of meaning. Lucien Wercollier gives his name to the cloister of the abbey, Robert Bruch to the criminal building and Robert Krieps to the workshop then became Tutesall.

"25 Years Lëtzebuerg World Heritage"
The December 17, 2019 will be launched the celebrations of the 25th anniversary of the inscription of Luxembourg, old quarters and fortifications in the UNESCO World Heritage Register. The festivities will stretch until December 17, 2020.

As unexpected as it may seem, Luxembourg and Palmyra have one major point in common: they are both listed as World Heritage by Unesco. It is not surprising then that the City begins the festivities on Monday around the “25 years Lëtzebuerg world heritage” with a tribute to the ancient city of Syria martyred by Daesh.
Monday, the Minister of Culture, Sam Tanson, the mayor of the City of Luxembourg, Lydie Polfer, and the president of the Luxembourg Commission for cooperation with UNESCO, Simone Beck, presented the program of festivities around the “25 ans Lëtzebuerg World Heritage ”(program to find here )
On this occasion, they unveiled, in the presence of Françoise Poos, president of Neimënster and Roger Michel, director of the Oxford Institute for Digital Archeology (IDA), a 3D replica of the Palmyra arch destroyed in 2015 by the Daesh terrorist organization.
The reproduction of the Roman triumphal arch was produced by IDA and has already been exhibited in London, Florence, Washington and Bern. This achievement demonstrates how digital can help preserve the past.
Visible from the Corniche, it is placed in a straight line with the plaque recalling the inscription of Luxembourg in the World Heritage Register. "The destruction of cultural property in wars is often deliberate, as if to erase the memory of a people - digital archeology has made the Ark of Palmyra an ambassador of peace on tour around the world," said Simone Beck.
The installation is visible in the courtyard of Neimënster until February 29, 2020

July 30, 2020 - The dystopian artwork by British artist Heather Phillipson, titled  ”THE END” was unveiled Thursday on Trafalgar Square’s Fourth Plinth in London after being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemicIt is the 13th Fourth Plinth commission since the programme began in 1998, it is also the tallest to date, measuring 9.4m and weighing 9 tonnes, and follows on from The Invisible Enemy Should Not Exist (recreation of a protective deity destroyed by Islamic State in Iraq) by Michael Rakowitz. Both artists were selected in 2017. "Beauty will save the world — and ugliness will ruin it."
The End will stay in place until spring 2022. [August 2022 it is still there.]

Sunday, 9 August - Five Extinction Rebellion (XR) protesters have been arrested after pouring fake blood over the steps of Trafalgar Square in protest against the deaths of indigenous people in Brazil. Marking International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, the activists could be seen lying ‘dead’ on the ground while others held up banners that read ‘genocide [equals] ecocide’ and ‘indigenous emergency’. The group, which also included protesters from HS2 Rebellion, the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB) and the Internationalist Solidarity Network, also turned the water in the fountains red and luminous green for the demonstration.
The protest comes just days after Animal Rebellion, a sister group of XR, turned the water in the Trafalgar Square fountains red to represent the ‘blood on the government’s hands’.

Russia's emergency ministry in Saint Petersburg named the worker who fell as 29-year-old M. Kucherov. It said he had been attached to a safety cable, which broke during the incident. He "carried out gas cutting work, in preparation for the planned demolition of the dome of the building," the statement said.
Dramatic footage filmed by local media agency Fotanka showed the moment the entire structure collapsed around him.   https://www.euronews.com/2020/01/31/worker-killed-after-stadium-roof-collapses-in-st-petersburg - https://youtu.be/fCgLxg41xaI
