Samuel is a figure who, in the narratives of the Hebrew Bible, plays a key role in the transition from the biblical judges to the United Kingdom of Israel under Saul, and again in the monarchy's transition from Saul to David. He is venerated as a prophet in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In addition to his role in the Jewish Bible/Old Testament, Samuel is mentioned in Jewish rabbinical literature, in the Christian New Testament, and in the second chapter of the Quran. He is also treated in the fifth through seventh books of Antiquities of the Jews, written by the Jewish scholar Josephus in the first century. He is first called "the Seer" in 1 Samuel 9:9.

Minden is a rural locality on the Warrego Highway between Marburg and Hatton Vale, 23km west of Ipswich. The area was originally named Back Plain or Rosewood. Settled by mostly German farmers in the 1870s, it was named after a town in Westphalia (northwestern Germany) in about 1879. Late into World War I (WWI) it was renamed Frenchton, but reverted to Minden in 1930.

The German heritage is strongly to the fore with the survival of three churches, two Lutheran and one Baptist, dating from the 1880s. Saint John's Lutheran Church and cemetery are on the Lowood-Minden Road.

The German Baptist community began worship perhaps as early as 1879 and built its church in Lowood-Minden Road near the Minden primary school in 1885. It later affiliated with the Baptist Union and now serves congregations from Marburg to Tarampa.

Community organisations also extended to agriculture. The post office directory (1911) recorded the Back Plain Farmers Co-operative and the Minden Farmers Co-op Dairy. There were also two stores, two blacksmiths, and a State primary school (1878). About 30 of the 34 farmers listed in the directory had German surnames.

Minden's population fell to under 200 by the 1960s, but its position on the highway between Ipswich and Gatton has prompted considerable rural/residential living. In 2013 the school had 146 students enrolled. There are also a motor garage and a produce barn.

Text:
Die Übungen konzentrieren sich auf filigrane Schleifen- und Bogenbuchstaben:
Die Kleinbuchstaben e, o, b, f, l und j (erkennbar an den typischen Unter- und Oberschleifen in den Zeilen 1, 4 und 9).
Die Großbuchstaben A (Zeile 1), G (Zeile 3) und O (Zeile 9).

Zeile 2: Lautmalerei gi go gu + Bild einer Henne / Glucke + gi go gu
Zeile 3: ein Auge — eine Geige (Hier werden die Diphthonge „au“ und „ei“ geübt)
Zeile 5: la la la — bim bam bum (Rhythmische Silbenübungen)
Zeile 6: alle malen — alle üben (Erste Tätigkeitswörter im Satz)
Zeile 7: blaue + Bild von zwei Blumen — gelbe + Bild von zwei Rüben (oder Blättern)
Zeile 8: he he alle lachen juchu (Fröhliche Ausrufe)
Zeile 9: hi hi Paul Olga lauf (Namen und eine direkte Aufforderung)
Zeile 10: Zahlwort fünf + Bild von einem Hasen (Verbindung zum Zählenlernen)

Pädagogisch erfüllt diese Seite zwei Kernfunktionen:
Fröhliche Motivation:
Nach dem strengen ideologischen Drill der Vorseiten (Marschieren, Gehorsam) wird den Kindern durch Themen wie „Lachen“ und „juchu“ suggeriert, dass die Schule und das Leben im neuen System Spaß machen und unbeschwert sind.
Ganzheitliches Lernen: Sprache wird rhythmisch gelernt („bim bam bum“). Zudem wird durch das Wort „fünf“ am Ende der Seite eine fächerübergreifende Brücke zum ersten Rechenunterricht geschlagen.

From an educational perspective, this page serves two core functions:
Cheerful Motivation:
After the strict ideological drill of the previous pages (marching, obedience), topics such as “laughter” and “yay” suggest to the children that school and life under the new system are fun and carefree.
Holistic learning: Language is learned rhythmically (“bim bam bum”). In addition, the word “five” at the bottom of the page builds an interdisciplinary bridge to the first math lessons.

Steel, sea and mountains define the world around her. Standing among warriors and longships, Sin becomes a formidable shieldmaiden of the Viking Age — ready for whatever waits beyond the next horizon.

Inside a quiet medieval village in Italy, we discovered a forgotten mansion slowly being reclaimed by nature. Behind its crumbling walls, entire rooms were still filled with furniture, personal belongings, decades-old documents, and traces of the families who once called this place home.

Berkeley Castle walled garden

The first castle at Berkeley was a motte-and-bailey, built around 1067 by William FitzOsbern shortly after the Norman Conquest. This was subsequently held by three generations of the first Berkeley family, all called Roger de Berkeley, and rebuilt by them in the first half of the 12th century. The last Roger de Berkeley was dispossessed in 1152 for withholding his allegiance from the House of Plantagenet during the conflict of the Anarchy, and the feudal barony of Berkeley was then granted to Robert Fitzharding, a wealthy burgess of Bristol and supporter of the Plantagenets. He and Eva fitz Harding were the founders of the Berkeley family which still owns the castle.

In 1153–54, Fitzharding received a royal charter from Henry II giving him permission to rebuild the castle.[15] Fitzharding built the circular shell keep between 1153 and 1156, probably on the site of the former motte. The building of the curtain wall followed, probably between 1160 & 1190 by Robert and then by his son Sir Maurice Berkeley.

Much of the rest of Berkeley Castle is 14th century and was built for Thomas de Berkeley, 3rd Baron Berkeley: Thorpe's Tower, to the north of the keep, the inner gatehouse to its southwest, and other buildings of the inner bailey.
