Originally naive depictions of cows going to pasture, wooden poyas are now a popular art form. Serre Chevalier's artist Penelope has made them one of her trademarks.
Speckled, brown or black, they patiently follow one another on the path to the mountain pasture. Every June, the cattle herds climb the mountain to look for rich, fresh grass. This pastoral tradition originated in the middle ages and shaped the Alpine landscapes as well as ways of life and architecture. It also gave life to a whole set of traditions, festivals and new art forms. The 'pay as, are a reflection of this heritage. Poyas were first created in 19th century Switzerland.
The name means 'the herd is leaving' in local dialect. They were carved in wood by the farmers and then painted in bright colours. The poyas showed each farm's herd and were a way of showing guests the prosperity of the farm. Denis Buchs, director of a Swiss museum with an extensive poya collection, writes: "The poya portrays the traditional farm organisation. The farm hierarchy is clearly outlined, with the shepherd at the front, then the leading cows with their big cowbells and fancy collars, after which follow the other cows with bronze bells, heifers and calves. Goats, sheep and possibly a few pigs are at the end of the procession. All necessary equipment for working up the mountain pasture is displayed on a wagon. A mountain pasture team generally consisted of five to seven men, and they all had their given place in the line, just like the animals."
Poyas have developed from exact portraits of mountain pasture procedures to a more imaginative illustration of pastoral life. They have also spread to other Alpine regions. "Poyas are very common in the Northern French Alps, but in this area, they have been quite rare, mainly because cattle farming was unusual here," explains the Briancon poya artist Penelope. She has never the less decided to start creating local poyas, as the interest for rural art and traditional decor has seen a tremendous increase in the past years.
Penelope has lived in the area since the 1980's and works as a graphic artist as well as creating her own art. She first came to Serre Chevalier because of her passion for snowboarding, and was subsequently seduced by the tranquillity of the area. She has experimented with many different art forms, such as painting on silk and on leather, pottery and working with other textiles. In 2000, she went for a painting course in the Northern Alps, and discovered poyas and other folkloric art. "I loved these naive paintings on long, wooden boards, and had always enjoyed working with wood."
No sooner was she back in Serre Chevalier than she was producing her own poyas. "I like mixing different techniques, depending on what I feel like. First I have to choose a board. I either use old larch planks or new ones that I shape with the help ofjigsaws, files and other tools. I sometimes decorate them with wood carvings as well." After this initial process, a motif has to be conceived and painted on to the boards.
Penelope draws inspiration from old art books, photos and drawings, but also from personal experience. Her early poyas were classically naive, but she now experiments with shapes and colours. She often adds mountain flowers and evocative backdrops. Her biggest ever poya was four metres long. "The Briancon area has a tradition of sheep farming, so I decided to make poyas with sheep and goats in them, to create a closer relation to the local traditions." Her poyas range in price between 85 and 1,500 euros, depending on size and style. Poyas can be hung both inside and outside, and if you keep your eyes open, you may spot a few decorating chalets in the Serre Chevalier area.
You can often see examples of Penelope's wooden poya art in the Hotel Plein Sud in Chantemerle, Serre Chevalier.
Serre Chevalier is a wonderful part of France and although known as a ski resort, Penelope proves that art and culture is alive and well in The French Alps.

Was wurde aus den FDP-Sparvorschlägen? von Hans Koberstein und Birte Meier 10,5 Milliarden Euro kann die Bundesregierung einsparen - das meinte die FDP noch, als sie in der Opposition war, und ihr "Liberales Sparbuch" vorlegte. Nun ist die FDP an der Regierung und könnte umsetzen, was sie gefordert hat: Sorgfältig mit dem Geld der Steuerzahler umgehen - zumindest in den fünf Ministerien, denen FDP-Minister vorstehen. Frontal21 schaut nach, was aus den Sparideen geworden ist.

Gears are now used for a wide range of industrial applications. There are gears weighing from 15grams to 15 tons. Lots of industries use gears for transmitting power or rotational force from one component to another. Gears have varied application starting from textile looms to aviation industries. Undoubtedly the demand for gears in industries is estimated at a whopping 125 billion dollars worldwide.

Gold, Goldbarren, Gold kaufen, egal auch wenn der Goldpreis steigt ! News vom VIP Gold Club, keine Panik nur reale Information über unsere Wirtschaftliche IST-Sitoation und über unsere Zukunft. Aber Leute keiner braucht Goldsparplan, das ist unrentabel für jederman. Weder von der Sutor Bank noch von dem anderen Anbieter, die im Video von ZDF Frontal21 am 03.08.10 als unseriös bezeichnet wurden auch nicht von anderen ! Kauft Gold wenn Ihr Geld zur freien Verfügung habt, oder es liegt auf einem Sparbuch oder es steckt in einer unrentablen Lebensversicherung, dann verkaufen und in Gold investieren.

The Purr
It is no longer a new concept to use cats as therapy animals in retirement homes, nursing homes or convalescent hospitals, research had proven that it makes a real difference in the lives, and reduces blood pressure especially in older people. The benefit of the human-feline bond has been documented in many ways, not least the pleasure of holding a purring cat, some purr so strongly that their entire bodies vibrate. Purring is one of the most special unique qualities of a cat.
What if we go a step further and say that this is only the beginning, a cat can be of benefit to a human as a compact movable therapy unit? Intrigued; read on...
Cat owners and handlers know that purring isn't just a sound of contentment. Cats most definitely purr when they are stressed, afraid and in pain, in short when they are experiencing any trauma. Even a cat near death or dying will purr, why? - Recent research has brought to light a new significance to this seeming anomaly.
The following Questions were asked:
o The ability to purr has survived through the entire development of the cat, countless generations, throughout the inception of different cat species developed and evolving in totally isolated areas over the entire world; for this to happen there has to be some very important reason for the purr, there has to be a survival mechanism to explain its continued existence.
o Accepting that the purr evolved solely as a show of contentment goes against all we have come to understand about the basic rules of evolution and natural selection.
o There would have to be a very good reason for an injured animal that needs all its reserve energy to survive to initiate a function that uses energy and does no good. The only explanation would have to be ... it is beneficial to the animal's survival.
o Could it be possible that evolution and natural selection has blessed the cat with a natural healing mechanism? Researchers at Fauna Communications in the USA believe so.
o Could the purr in any way be linked to the fact that vibration stimulation relieves suffering of persons and animals that have acute and chronic pain? Could the fact that vibration stimulation generates new tissue growth, increases wound tissue strength, improves local circulation and oxygenation, reduces swelling be linked to the purr?
The Healing Power of the Purr
Cat researchers now believe that self-healing is the purpose of the purr.
In human and animal medical treatment low frequencies, at low intensity has been proven to be therapeutic.
In 1994 Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi, in this work found that frequencies of 25 and 50 hertz improve bone strength by 20%, stimulate both the healing of fractures, and increases the speed at which the fractures heal. In a study done at the Cincinnati Zoo, by Fauna Communications, who recorded many cats' purrs; it was discovered that cat purrs create frequencies that fall directly in the range that is optimal for bone growth.
I think that this research will make it plain why cats purr, here are the results:
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation treatment of Human and animals
Problem 1: Bone growth and Fractures, (Optimal Frequencies for best treatment): 25 Hz or 50 Hz;(Cats Purr Frequencies): The exact dominant and fundamental frequency of a cats purr.
Problem 2: Repair of tendons, (Optimal Frequencies for best treatment): 120 Hz; (Cats Purr Frequencies): All cats have frequencies of this range. Some even have 2 to 3 harmonics within this range.
Problem 3: Stimulation of joint mobility, (Optimal Frequencies for best treatment): 18 Hz to 35 Hz, (Cats Purr Frequencies): All cats have frequencies of this range and here again 2 to 3 harmonics within this range.
Problem 4: Generation of muscle strength, (Optimal Frequencies for best treatment): 2 Hz to 100 Hz, (Cats Purr Frequencies): All cats have at least 4 sets of strong harmonics in this range.
Problem 5: Therapeutic pain relief, (Optimal Frequencies for best treatment): 50 Hz to 150 Hz, (Cats Purr Frequencies): All cats have at least 5 sets of strong harmonics in this range.
With this information available it is not difficult to comprehend that a cat's purr is a genetically designed self healing device. It gives a cat an internal natural way to decrease healing time, and increase strength whilst sedentary. Meaning; muscles strengthen, while bones heal without any movement to endanger the knitting of bone, with the bonus of having a pain treatment while this is happening. This would explain why nature has developed an adoption like this and it has remained constant in all cats regardless of how remote or different they may be.
In Summery: Purring the Pain Away
Vibrations between a the frequencies 20-150 Hz are therapeutic for bone growth/fracture healing, pain relief, reduction of swelling, wound healing, muscle growth, strength and repair, tendon repair, mobility of joints and the relief of breathlessness. Direct contact with a purring cat is definitely beneficial to your own health. As with any frequency wave forms, oscillations move between the animal and the human and can do wonders to a person with many different types of bone, muscle and pain problems.... In short put a kitty on your lap.
