Henrik Louis Lund (født 8. september 1879 i Bergen, død 23. december 1935 i Oslo) var en norsk maler, kendt for sin portrætkunst i impressionistisk stil.

Etter en tid som sømand blev han elev hos Harriet Backer (1899), debuterede samme år, og studerede videre hos Johan Nordhagen (1903).  Lund rejste meget, først bosat i København (1904–09), bopæl Nørre Allé 49, hvor han slog igennem med flere udstillinger. Med statsstipendium boede han i Paris (1905, 1920-21), og han udstillede i Berlin (1908). I USA havde han en række ophold, som kommissær (1912) og som udstiller (1915, hvor han også malede Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Edison og Charles W. Eliot).  Hans søster, komponisten og pianisten Signe Lund (1868–1950) var  bosat der. Han turnerede Europa med Olaf Bull, hvor han bl.a malede portrætter af Eleonora Duse, H. G. Wells og Benito Mussolini
(1923).

Den han oftest portrætterede var formentlig vennen Knut Hamsun.
Han tegnede for Hans Jægers anarkistiske tidsskrift Korsaren (1907–).
Lund havde som valgsprog "Ingen dag uden en hyggelig aften".
Han lagde navn til dampskibet «D/S Henrik Lund», anskaffet af bergenrederiet Willy Gilbert (1916). Skibet blev sænket af  tyske ubåde udfor  Cape Hatteras, USA (1918).

Le musée de la monnaie de la Banque fédérale d'Allemagne (Deutsche Bundesbank), situé dans le quartier Bockenheim de Francfort-sur-le-Main, est le seul musée de la monnaie en Allemagne. Son but est d'offrir au public une compréhension du système monétaire sous ses différents aspects.

Le musée ouvre en 1999 et reçoit environ 40 000 visiteurs par an avant d'être fermé pendant deux ans en 2014 pour modernisation.

Avec un investissement total de 19 millions d'euros, la surface d'exposition passe de 600 à 1 000 m² et la structure d'exposition est repensée. Le Musée de la Monnaie ré-ouvre fin 2016 ; l'entrée reste gratuite.

Collection

La collection de pièces de monnaie de la Bundesbank comprend environ 90 000 pièces du monde entier, de l'Antiquité à nos jours. En outre, sa collection de papier-monnaie est l'une des plus importantes d'Allemagne avec environ 255 000 objets. D'autres sont des objets qui ont servi de monnaie au cours de l'histoire - des coquillages cauris aux fèves de cacao en passant par d'énormes dalles de pierre.

Le Musée de la monnaie fournit des informations sur l'histoire et le fonctionnement de la monnaie, ainsi que  des comptes rendus détaillés de l'histoire monétaire moderne, comme la Grande Dépression du début des années 1930.

Le clou de l'exposition est un aureus commémorant l'assassinat de Jules César. Seuls deux exemplaires de cette pièce sont connus dans le monde, l'autre se trouve dans une collection privée inconnue. La valeur de la pièce est estimée à environ 340 000 euros et est donc presque aussi élevée qu'un lingot d'or de 12,5 kg également exposé.

Histoire de la collection
La Reichsbank avait déjà collecté d'importants stocks de pièces d'or et d'argent ainsi que de papier-monnaie. En 1935, ces collections sont présentées au public à Berlin sous le nom de Reichsbank Museum.

Les avoirs de la Reichsbank, dans la mesure où ils ont survécu aux troubles de la guerre, sont confisqués par les Alliés. En 1954, ils sont restitués à la Bank Deutscher Länder, l'ancêtre de la Banque fédérale d'Allemagne.

La collection de pièces de monnaie est systématiquement complétée et exposée dans les salles de la Bundesbank.

En juin 2021, la maison a inauguré la nouvelle exposition Geldmacher: Wer bestimmt, was Geld ist? (Faiseurs de monnaie : qui décide de ce qu'est l'argent ?

Bâtiment
La bibliothèque centrale de la Deutsche Bundesbank est située dans le même bâtiment, sur le même terrain que le siège de la Deutsche Bundesbank. Une grande sculpture d'Erich Hauser est installée devant.

Batıl inanç, genellikle bilgisizlikten, bilimsel bilgilerin veya nedenselliğin yanlış anlaşılmasından, kadere veya büyüye inanmaktan, doğaüstü etkileri algıladığını sanmaktan veya bilinmeyene karşı duyulan korkudan kaynaklanan inanç veya uygulamalardır. Batıl inançlar çoğu zaman şans, kehanet ve belirli ruhani varlıklarla ilişkilidir. Kaynak ve mantıklı bir açıklamadan uzak, uygulamalarda din adı kullanılan inanç ve hareketlere söylenen bir terimdir.

Yaygın bazı batıl inançlar arasında yolculuğa çıkan birisinin arkasından yere su dökmek, merdiven altından geçmemek, gece tırnak kesmemek, kara kedi görmenin uğursuzluk getireceğine inanmak sayılabilir.

Anlamı
Batıl inaçların kökenini eski paganist inançlarda aramak gerekir. Bu çağlardan kalma batıl inanç dediğimiz alışkanlıklar devam etmiş, oysa bir zamanlar bunları anlamlı kılan inançlar çoktan unutulup gitmiştir.

Bazıları çok eski tarihlerden gelen boş inançlara ilişkin yalnızca bazı varsayımlarda bulunabiliriz. Günümüzde Ay'ın Dünya'nın bir uydusu olduğunu biliyoruz. Oysa bundan binlerce yıl önce yaşamış insanlar Ay'ın bir tanrıça olduğunu sanıyor, insanlara zenginlik ve uğur getirdiğine inanıyorlardı. Günümüzde yeni ay çıktığında sevdiği kişinin yüzüne bakmak ya da altına el sürmek türünden davranışlar o dönemlerden kalmış olabilir. At nalının uğurlu sayılmasının nedenlerinden biri, belki de eski Avrupa topluluklarından Keltlerin atın kutsallığına inanmalarıdır. Eskiçağlarda topraktan çıkarılan demir cevherinden demir eşya üretme sanatının büyücülük olduğuna inanılması da bu inancı doğurmuş olabilir.

Aksıran bir kimseye "çok yaşa!" denmesinin, aksırma sırasında ruhun geçici olarak bedenden ayrıldığına ilişkin eski inançlardan doğmuş olduğu düşünülebilir. Aksıran kimseyi bu sözlerle sevindirmek, belki de ruhun esenlikle geri dönmesine yardımcı olma amacını taşır.

13 rakamının uğursuz olduğu batıl inancının ise; 13 Ekim 1307 Cuma günü Tapınak Şövalyeleri'nin tutuklanması ve işkence edilerek öldürülmesine dayandığı sanılmaktadır. Bu batıl inanç hâlâ öylesine güçlüdür ki, bazı kimseler 13 kişiyi aynı masaya oturtmaktan kaçınır. Bazı ünlü otellerde 13 rakamı taşıyan oda ve kat yoktur. BMW'nin Münih'te bulunan merkez binasının 13. katı boştur.

Anadolu'da halk arasında boş inançlara günümüzde de rastlanır. Bunlardan birkaç örnek şöyledir:  İlk rastlanılan kişinin toplumsal durumu ve halk arasındaki itibarına göre işlerin rast gidip gitmeyeceği konusunda yorumlar yapılır. Esnaf, o gün işlerin iyi gitmesi için siftah parasını yere atar ya da yüzüne sürer. Birine kesici alet verilirken düşmanlığa yol açmasın diye üzerine tükürülür. Akşam tırnak kesmek iyi sayılmaz. Ay tutulması ve Güneş tutulması sırasında silah atılıp, teneke çalınarak önlerini kapatan cin-peri topluluğun kaçırılabileceğine inanılır.

Batıl inançların çoğu çok eskilere dayanmakla birlikte, yenileri de vardır. Örneğin, aynı kibritle art arda üç sigara yakmanın uğursuzluk getireceğine inanılır. Bu inancın 1899-1902 yılları arasında İngilizlerin Güney Afrika'da yaşayan Afrikanerler ile yaptığı Güney Afrika Savaşı'ndan kaynaklandığı söylenmektedir. Söylenceye göre, usta Afrikaner nişancıları üç İngiliz askerinin tek bir kibritle sigaralarını yakmaları sırasında yerlerini saptamış ve yanık kibriti elinde tutan askeri öldürmüştür. Bu yeni bir batıl inanç böyle doğmuştur.

Türkiye'de batıl inançlar
Çocuk doğumlarında ve evlenme törenlerinde batıl inançlar yaygındır. Yeni doğan çocuklar kırkları çıkıncaya kadar cinlerin, perilerin, şeytanların etkisi altında kalabilir diye, son derece büyük bir özen görürler. Gebeliği önleyici tedbirlerden biri olarak katır tırnağı kullanılır. Çünkü, katırın kısır bir hayvan olduğu bilinir. Batı Türkiye'nin bir yerinde de haşhaş, kahve, soğan, katır tırnağı, katran, sarımsak, kuru yumurta kabuğu tozu, su içinde bir arada kaynatılarak, gebeliği önleyici bir ilaç hazırlanır. Yeni doğan çocuklar "tuzlanır". Sözde bebeğin ileride güçlü olması böylece sağlanır, bazı yerlerde de yastığının altına kaplumbağa konur. Türkiye'nin pek çok yerinde kaplumbağalara büyük meziyetler yakıştırılır. Batıl inançlar arasında en yaygın olanlardan biri de, nazar, yani kem gözdür. Bebeklerin kırklarının çıkmasına kadar anneler babalar onları çevreye çirkin göstermeye özellikle dikkat ederler. Nazardan koruduğuna inanılan mavi boncuklar takılır. Özellikle de mavi gözlü ve sarı saçlı kişilerin gözlerinin kaldığı söylenir. Mavi boncuğun koruyucu gücü, büyünün birbirini çektiği ilkesine dayanır. Mavi gözden gelecek tehlike, mavi boncuk tarafından çekilir. Muskalara da büyük bir inanç vardır. Bunların içine genellikle Arap harfleriyle, Kur'an'dan ya da Şaman dininden dualar yazılı kâğıtlar yerleştirilir. Hepsi bir kumaş parçası içine sarılır.

Boscombe  is a suburb of Bournemouth, England. Historically in Hampshire, but today in Dorset, it is located to the east of Bournemouth town centre and west of Southbourne.

Originally a sparsely inhabited area of heathland, from around 1865 Boscombe developed rapidly from a small village into a seaside resort alongside Bournemouth. Its first pier opened in 1889.

There are numerous architectural styles within the town, ranging from the elaborate Victorian style of the Royal Arcade and St Clement's Church, notable examples of Art Deco such as the former Gas & Water Company store at 709 Christchurch Road, and the modernist 1950s styles of the pier and Overstrand buildings. Alongside these are modern flats developments such as The Reef, The Point (sometimes called the Pointer by some residents) and Honeycombe Beach.

The nickname Bos Vegas has gained popularity in recent years and occurs with slight spelling variation in the names of two Boscombe businesses.

Boscombe is home to AFC Bournemouth, who play at Dean Court. Many fans still refer to AFC Bournemouth as Boscombe, a reference to the original names of Boscombe St John's and Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic FC (the word Boscombe was dropped in 1972).

There is a thriving street market in the High Street on Thursdays and Saturdays as well as a vintage market on the first Saturday of every month.

Geography and administration
The area upon which Boscombe is situated, between the somewhat older village of Pokesdown and Bournemouth Square, was part of the great heathland which covered much of western Hampshire, and extended well into eastern Dorset. From Norman times it was within the Liberty of Westover. From the beach and cliffs the whole of Poole Bay stretching from Hengistbury Head in the east to Poole Harbour entrance in the west, and on to Studland and Swanage bays to the south can be seen.

Boscombe was originally an independent settlement, separated from Bournemouth by dense wood and moorland, it was incorporated into the boundaries of Bournemouth in 1876 (against the wishes of Boscombe residents).

History
In 1273 a reference is made to "Boscumbe", suggesting that the name may have derived from the Old English words meaning a 'valley overgrown with spiky plants'; perhaps a reference to gorse.

Boscombe is mentioned in Christopher Saxton's 1574 survey of possible enemy landing places on the coast of Hampshire: "Bournemouth within the west baye at Christchurch...We finde more a place called Bastowe within the said Baye". Saxton's map of 1575 shows a Copperas House at Bascomb, which refers to the manufacture of copperas or ferrous sulphate which took place in the district, particularly in the last quarter of the 16th century.

At the beginning of the 19th century, Boscombe was described as an extensive common covered with furze and heath, more the haunt of smugglers than anyone else. One of the early landmarks was the 'Ragged Cat', a wayside inn dating from 1850, later renamed the 'Palmerston' and then 'Deacons', it was renamed back to 'The Ragged Cat' in 2009 before being closed down. In 2015 a Polish market was opened in this historic building.

Boscombe Manor
In 1801, a modestly-sized house called Boscombe Cottage was built as the residence of Mr Phillip Norris. The Christchurch Inclosures Act 1802 increased the estate size to . This property became the nucleus of the Boscombe Manor Estate.

The large estate owned by Mr Norris changed hands several times during the first half of the 19th century. After Norris's death it was acquired by Robert Heathcote, and on his death the estate was put up for auction The estate was purchased by James Dover, in whose possession it remained until 1841; then it was sold to Major Stephenson.

Stevenson sold the estate in 1849 to Sir Percy Shelley, 3rd Baronet, who bought the Boscombe property mainly with the intention of it becoming a home for his mother Mary Shelley, but she died in London on 1 February 1851. Sir Percy and his wife liked the place, and decided to make it their home, dividing their time between Boscombe and their London house at Chelsea.

The house at Boscombe was extensively rebuilt for Sir Percy, and extended to include a 200-seat (later 300 seats) theatre, to the designs of Christopher Crabb Creeke, who later became surveyor to the Bournemouth Improvement Commissioners and was responsible for both the layout of much of central Bournemouth's roads, and for several local buildings.

It may be noted that the name of Boscombe Manor changed several times over the years. First recorded as Boscombe Cottage, it was then for a time called Boscombe Alcove and then Boscombe Lodge. By Shelley's time it was Boscombe House, and he and his family later renamed it Boscombe Manor. In the present century it was Groveley Manor for many years, taking the name of the school which then occupied it, but now it is known as Shelley Park, most of the building being taken up by the Shelley Manor Medical Centre in Beechwood Avenue.

To supplement the existing plantations of pine trees on the estate, Sir Percy added a large number of deciduous trees. There was a drive to the house from the main Christchurch Road, which followed the line of the present Chessel Avenue, and there was a lodge at its entrance. A second entry was from Sea Road, along a roadway flanked with lime trees – the present Percy Road.

By the beginning of the 1860s Boscombe consisted of the Shelley estate and some cottages, one of which is known to have stood at the top of Boscombe Hill, near the present Drummond Road.

From 1865 the development and expansion of the area to the end of the 19th century, and beyond, was very rapid. Starting with a proposal by the Malmesbury Estate to develop the 'picturesque Village of Boscombe Spa' to make available building plots for the erection of marine villas to be let on long leases.

The Spa was related to a natural spring of mineral water containing properties, similar to Harrogate, which had been discovered near the foot of the hill; this would be available for invalids and could combine the advantages of a Spa with those of sea air and bathing.

The scheme was not implemented; instead about  of land was obtained by Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, on part of which he built a house for himself named Boscombe Towers, in 1868. Sir Henry became closely associated with the development of Boscombe Spa for a considerable number of years. Wolff sought to develop 'Boscombe Spa' as a resort to rival Bournemouth and it was he who created the Boscombe Chine Gardens. In order to encourage the taking of the mineral water from the spring at the mouth of the Chine, a small thatched-roof building resembling a summer house was erected over the spring, and for a time this became a fashionable meeting place. The Chine itself was partially laid out and a broad pathway provided. A rustic bridge was constructed across the Chine.

The census of 1871 showed that there was a population of 212 people in 19 houses in the Boscombe Estate, and a further 70 people in 9 houses at Boscombe Spa.

During the 1870s development of Boscombe was such that the population at the census of 1881 had grown to 1,895 – a more than sixfold increase.

Expansion
In 1875 a 160,000 gallon water tower was built in Palmerston Road, at this time it was stated that there were 244 houses in Boscombe. In February 1877 the Royal Boscombe Hospital (later called the Royal Victoria Hospital) opened in Shelley Road, it initially had beds for 12 patients. In 1880 Boscombe Land Society was formed purchasing 13 acres of land in November 1881. This was in the area of the present Knole Road, there were initially 73 plots. Much of the Shelley property in the area to the east of Sea Road was developed in the next ten years amounting to a further 70 plots. In 1883 Pokesdown station opened on the LSWR Brockenhurst to Bournemouth line. In 1889 Boscombe Pier opened (see below). The commercial centre of Boscombe had a major boost with projects by Archibald Beckett including blocks of shops, the Salisbury Hotel, the Royal Arcade, and a Grand Theatre, which was to become Boscombe Hippodrome, then the Royal Ballrooms and today the O2 Academy. These were all built between 1888 and 1895, shortly after opening in 1892 the Royal Arcade was lit by electricity. On 29 May 1897 Boscombe railway station was opened. On 19 August 1893 the Burlington Hotel opened; it was designed in an Italian Renaissance style and had 200 bedrooms. By the turn of the century the remainder of the Shelley estate had been sold, Boscombe Chine gardens had been laid out and there was little remaining vacant land within Boscombe. Before her death in June 1899 Lady Shelley had gifted four acres of land which were laid out to form Boscombe Cliff Gardens. In the 1901 census the population was 9,648.

20th century

The coronation of King Edward VII and his Queen, Alexandra of Denmark was scheduled to take place on 26 June 1902; to mark the occasion, Bournemouth Council agreed on 20 May 1902 to rename common No 59 as "King's Park". Boscombe thrived with the growth of the English seaside holiday. Between the World Wars Boscombe was one of Bournemouth's wealthiest areas with many large Victorian and Edwardian family houses. In 1935 construction started on the San Remo Towers block, located between Sea Road and Michelgrove Road, the Grade II listed block of 164 flats was designed by Hector Hamilton, in a Los Angeles Spanish style. Post war there was a boom in the seaside holiday market and Boscombe with its large number of smaller guest houses enjoyed this period of prosperity. In 1965 Boscombe railway station closed.

It was in the 1970s and 1980s with the decline in the traditional English holiday market that Boscombe's fortunes began to wane. Many of the small guest houses and large family houses became HMOs,

Boscombe saw an increase in social problems during this period with drug and alcohol dependency levels well above the national average. In 1990 in an attempt to revitalize the shopping centre, Christchurch Road, between Palmerston Road and Ashley Road, was pedestrianized and the Sovereign shopping centre opened. In 1993 the Royal Victoria Hospital was largely demolished. A replacement hospital, the Royal Bournemouth Hospital, was opened in Castle Lane in 1989.

Recent history

New development of the area around Boscombe was approved under the Boscombe Spa Development Plan in July 2006. This project was intended to turn the seafront into a spa village complete with artificial surf created by Boscombe Surf Reef. Completed in autumn 2009, the reef was constructed as part of the restoration work that also included the Overstrand buildings. Reports on the reef's performance showed that it was failing to meet its performance criteria. In 2011, the reef was closed for safety reasons; in 2012 the contractor went out of business and in 2014 the reef was re-branded as a Coastal Activity Park. Funding for the development had been through the sale of the local seafront car park, to Barratt Homes for 169 seafront apartments, at Honeycombe Chine. As well as these flats there have been a number of other large developments of flats such as "The Reef" in Boscombe Spa Road and the renovation of Shelley Park into a medical centre and flats development.

In May 2007, for the first time, a property in Boscombe sold for £1 million. The property was a flat with views of the coast, and was the main headline in the Bournemouth Daily Echo. Boscombe gardens underwent a renovation project and was substantially remodelled; a public art trail was also installed around Boscombe as part of the renovation project.

Schools and arts centre
In the 1870s a small school attached to St Clement's Church was too small to meet the growing demand. Boscombe British school was established by Frederick Moser and Sir Percy Shelley, who laid the foundation stone at a site on Gladstone Road in 1878. The school was built in a Neo-Gothic style and opened in 1879; the Christchurch Times reported that it was "to be one of the most ornamental as well as useful buildings in Boscombe." Later, when transferred to the local authority, the school was renamed St. John's Church of England Primary School. The senior section of the school moved in 1940 to the newly built Boscombe Bilateral Secondary Modern (now King's Park Primary) on Ashley Road.

In 1960, local teacher Leslie Williams formed the Bournemouth Children's Theatre in the old school buildings, which later became the Drama Centre. Dame Sybil Thorndike became the patron of the centre and visited frequently. In the 1980s the Drama Centre was renamed the Bournemouth Centre for Community Arts (BCCA) to reflect its extension into other arts. Gareth Malone attended, later going on to be known as a choirmaster on BBC televised programmes. After it was closed in 2007 and under threat of demolition, the Friends of the BCCA contacted English Heritage to help save the building; it was Grade II listed in 2008. In June 2012, despite 938 objections, and claims the Planning Board had been "misled", planning permission was obtained to restore the listed rooms and to build 11 affordable homes for local people (10 houses and an accessible bungalow), a community orchard and allotments. Demolition took place in October 2013. A mock funeral was held by protesters hoping to stop the demolition.

The Religious of the Cross operated a Roman Catholic boarding and day convent school for girls, and later also a boys' preparatory school, built at 13, Parkwood Road in 1889. The school was subsequently extended to accommodate a separate junior school. This building has housed the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic since 1982.

Other schools in Boscombe are St James's Church of England Primary, Corpus Christi Catholic Primary (next to Corpus Christi Church), Bethany Primary, Avonbourne Girls Academy, and Avonbourne Boys Academy.

Boscombe Chine

Boscombe Chine, the ravine breaking through the sandy cliffs, comprised several small valleys draining the land around Boscombe. Several of these originated in Springbourne, but they all eventually confluenced near to Christchurch Road. The southern end of the chine was laid out as pleasure gardens with a surface water stream as a picturesque feature. Towards the foot of the Chine, near to Sea Road, a chalybeate spring was discovered, no doubt fed by the water draining into the chine. A small thatched hut was erected over the spring and was given the name Boscombe Spa. The water was sufficiently foul-tasting that people would make a special trip to drink the water for any health-giving properties that it may contain.

Boscombe Pier

A pier was proposed in 1884 as a visitor attraction. In September 1888 the contract for its building was awarded for £3,813, and for making the pier approach £938. The pier was  long, and built in spans of  each with a continuous wrought iron girder frame, which carried timber decking  wide. The pier head was  long and  wide, with a landing stage on each side, at which excursion steamers could call. At the entrance were two toll houses with turnstiles. The architect for the pier construction was James Stuart Campbell McEwan-Brown (1870–1949). His family were originally from Kintyre, Argyll and were closely connected to the Duke of Argyll. It is no surprise therefore, that it was opened with considerable ceremony on 29 July 1889 by the Duke of Argyll.

The pier head was not added until 1926, and like most piers it was partially demolished during World War II to combat the threat of invasion. The pier remained derelict for a number of years and was only fully reopened in 1962. The borough architect, John Burton, designed the modernist 1950s style entrance building. This building was Grade II listed in 2004, The heritage minister said:  The building at the pier end was initially reopened as the Mermaid Theatre and then a roller skating rink before becoming an amusement arcade. It closed in 1989 and the pier became progressively more derelict over the next 19 years.

On 30 October 2005 the pier was closed as it was deemed unsafe. The Grade II listed pier entrance building was externally restored in 2007 together with a restoration of the pier neck. New decking, lighting and central windbreak screen was added together with a new viewing and fishing platform end section, replacing the derelict Mermaid Amusement Hall. The pier re-opened in May 2008. To the east of the pier is Europe's first artificial surf reef.

Since the re-opening of the pier in 2008 a Friends Association has been established, organising art exhibitions and live music performances. In 2009, website Nothing To See Here named it "Britain's coolest" and the National Piers Society voted it "Pier of the Year 2010".

In 2014, a musical walkway was added to the pier, featuring 88 custom-made chimes that play 'I Do Like To be Beside the Seaside' when struck in the correct order. The outdoor musical installation includes tubular bells, a bell lyre and tembos.

The pier also has its own dedicated angling club, The Boscombe Pier Sea Anglers, founded in 2002 for out of hours fishing.

The Boscombe Devil
The Boscombe Devil is a grotesque on a building facing the Boscombe Grand Theatre (now the O2 Academy), placed there in the 1920s by the Lord's Day Observance Society to show disapproval at the theatre's decision to open on Sundays.

Politics
Boscombe is part of two wards for elections to Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council which elect two councillors each; Boscombe East and Pokesdown and Boscombe West.

Bengitaş - Türk mitolojisinde bilinmeyen bir yerdeki gizemli bir dikilitaş şeklindedir. Ölümsüzlük Taşı anlamına gelir.

Tanım
Dönüşümü ve döngüyü vurgular. Sonsuz yaşamın sembolüdür. Farklı Türk dillerinde Mengütaş, Bengüdaş, Bengütaş olarak da söylenir. Ayrıca anıt anlamına da gelir. Bengi (Bengü/Mengü/Mengi) kavramı sonu olmayan, hep varolacak olan bir varlık anlayışını ifade eder. Bu taş ise sonsuz bir döngü içerisinde ruhların göğe yükselişini simgeler. Kafkasya halklarının Nart destanlarında bir granit taşının içinden mucizevî biçimde doğan Sosurka (Sosuruk) adını taşıyan Nart kahramanının öyküsü anlatılır. Taş gücü ve dayanıklılığı (ölümsüzlüğü) temsil eder. Bu nedenle tüm kalıcı anıtlar ve yazıtlar sağlam taşlardan yapılır. Orhun ve Yenisey Anıtları Türk tarihinin en önemli yazılı anıtlarıdır. Mezarların başına dikilen ve Balbal adı verilen taşlar da Bengütaş'ın farklı bir türü olarak düşünülebilir. Anıtlar dikerek daima anımsanma ve yad edilme arzusu hemen her milletin geçmişine ait çeşitli büyüklüklerde taş anıtların varlığını da beraberinde getirmiştir. Türk kültüründe taşlarla ilgili pek çok söylenti vardır. Yabancılara aldanıp kutsal taşı onlara hediye eden bir hakanın yüzünden ülkenin bereketi kaçar. Bazı kahramanlar ellerinde dokuz köşeli taşla doğarlar. Masallarda cezaların en kötülerinden biri taşa dönüşmektir, böylece insanlar o taşı görüp ibret alırlar. Gökten düşen taşlar sıra dışı özelliklere sahiptir. Kaya üstünde yatmakla gebe kalınacağına dair inanç da bu konuyla bağlantılıdır.

Bengü-taş, eski Türklerde geyik tasvirli dikilitaş, alplere mahsus bir "ölümsüzlük kayasıydı" ve ruhlarının sonsuz bir dönüşüm döngüsü içinde göğe yükselişini vurgulamaktaydı."

She admitted that these two singers had a great influence on her when she was a student, she said: "I've been listening to music since I was a child, at that time, I often listened to tapes and radios. Western music was very popular at that time, I liked Whitney Houston, and I often recorded myself imitating her singing voice. After that, I made my debut as a singer by participating in singing competition." In addition, she claimed that Destiny's Child, who can sing and dance, also inspired her a lot, she said: "I really admire them [Destiny's Child], dancing and singing are really skills."

Tsai said that she became a fan of Madonna after noticing that Madonna has been full of muscles, she said: "I want to be a stage artist in the future, just like Madonna, she can lead the trend in music, stage, dance, and costume, she is the goal I want to achieve." Taiwanese choreographer Bruce Chang recalled that Tsai had observed Madonna's stage performance very carefully, Tsai said: "She [Madonna] rarely does line dancing, but her every move is very powerful, and that is the stage performance I want to achieve." She also said: "Madonna has always been an artist I admire, she has a lot of stuff are very innovative, even at the moment her works have been attacked by a lot of public opinion, but now looking back people still think her stuff are very amazing." Therefore, Tsai has been trying to introduce the most popular Western dance music elements into the Chinese music scene, she believed that "when making popular music, we should lead people to accept new styles and new elements, and challenge existing concepts." In addition, she has also named Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, and others as inspirations.

Musical style
Tsai has been experimenting with different musical styles and adding personal musical ideas, she said: "In addition to challenging various styles, I explore how to interpret and express them with my own colors." Her musical style is mainly dance-pop, she believed that "every singer must establish own brand and characteristics. Maybe I don't have many representative ballad works, but dance music is what I am best at." Her debut album 1019 (1999) featured ballads, but also Included the R&B track "Because of You" and the hip-hop track "Out on the Street". Her 2000 album Don't Stop added elements such as rock and reggae to the styles of the previous album, and began to feature dance tracks such as "Don't Stop" and "You Gotta Know". Her next two albums Show Your Love (2000) and Lucky Number (2001) featured R&B and hip-hop, and also incorporated elements such as disco.

Her 2003 album Magic, which combined elements of disco, funk, hip-hop, rock, and R&B, is considered to be her first musical transformation, establishing her musical direction dominated by dance music. Her 2004 album Castle continued the styles of the previous album, and included the tracks "36 Tricks of Love" and "Priority" that integrated heavy metal music element, as well as the chanson track "Love Love Love". Many of the dance tracks on her 2005 album J-Game were heavily influenced by electronic music, and in addition to retaining the elements of disco and hip-hop in the previous two albums, the track "Exclusive Myth" incorporated hip-hop and Chinese traditional music. Her 2006 album Dancing Diva is based on pop and electronic music, while the title track of the album revealed a strong exotic style, it also included the electronic rock track "Good Guy". Her 2007 album Agent J featured Eurodance, and in addition to continuing to include elements such as disco and hip-hop, it included the swing track "Fear-Free".

Her 2009 album Butterfly dabbled in synth-pop. Her 2010 album Myself featured house music, but also included the R&B track "Nothing Left to Say" that incorporated urban pop element. Her 2012 album Muse is a pop-based album with styles span mainstream and independent music, and the overall musical temperament was quite different from that of her previous albums, while the tracks "Fantasy", "Dr. Jolin", and "Beast" were influenced by trance, progressive house, and techno, respectively. Her 2014 album Play was largely influenced by genres of electronic dance music such as trap and dubstep, while the track "Gentlewomen" blended noise rock and alternative dance, and the track "Miss Trouble" integrated opera. Her 2018 album Ugly Beauty incorporated reggae, electronic, hip-hop, and other elements, but also included the track "Necessarily Evil" that integrated gothic rock and the track "Vulnerability" that incorporated soul music.

Voice
Tsai possesses a mezzo-soprano vocal range, her voice is quite recognizable, but since her debut, she has often been criticized for her weak singing skills, including problems such as thin voice and limited range. Taiwanese musician Bing Wang once said: "[Tsai's] singing skills are very ordinary, but the good thing is that her enunciation has characteristics." She debuted her career by winning a singing competition, one judge Wawa Chen said: "She [Tsai] is really a natural talent, she is singing with her talent." Sohu Entertainment said: "Jolin Tsai's musical works have been continuously recognized in recent years. In addition, in terms of singing skills, you can also hear her real improvement in essence, for the two successful albums of Muse and Play, people no longer only praise her style of music, but her singing has gained new attention, and her vocals and singing methods in ballads and even electronic dance music have accumulated and sublimated." Qu Er of Tencent Entertainment pointed out that Tsai's singing skills have often been misunderstood, and believed that "Jolin Tsai has top breath and high-pitched skills, and there are not many singers who still have the smooth breath after dancing the whole show."

Tsai has been nominated for Golden Melody Award for Best Female Mandarin Singer four times, and won the award for her 2006 album Dancing Diva. This was her first time to receive a Golden Melody Award, but some people have questioned whether her singing strength has been qualified for the award. Liu Ya-wen, chief jury of the 18th Golden Melody Awards, responded that Tsai's all-round qualities were the reason for her success, and said: "Jolin Tsai leads the way with her smart, dexterous, and excellent singing and writing performances, especially her album Dancing Diva is very rich in content, allowing her to break away from an entertainer and become a real vocalist." She was nominated for ten Golden Melody Awards for her 2014 album Play, but was not nominated for the category of Best Female Mandarin Singer after a judge raised the issue of serious pitch correction on the album, which influenced the voting of other judges. Regarding this, Tsai's manager Tom Wang responded: "Jolin Tsai is not a singer who relies on pitch correction. Welcome to listen to her live performance. I have confidence in her ability." DJ Casey Cheng said that he didn't think there was a problem with pitch correction, and believed that "records are creating very unique sounds." In 2017, she performed at the 54th Golden Horse Awards, she was out of tune when she sang the first song "Tian mi mi", and because a series of later songs were dominated by low pitch, her overall performance was not good because she was usually good at middle and high pitches, the performance was discussed and criticized by many people, and she also freely admitted to her mistakes.

Music videos

Tsai has a high quality pursuit of music videos, creating content with creativity and aesthetic value while taking into account commercial efforts. According to Apple Music: "She [Tsai] has always been on the cutting edge of fashion, and her music videos are full of varied costumes, sometimes colorful and sometimes avant-garde, very dazzling. Her music videos occasionally carry exotic colors, from the Gothic architecture of 'Prague Square' to the Siamese style of 'The Spirit of Knight', it seems like everyone is traveling around the world together. In recent years, Tsai has praised diversity through songs, and visually presents the depth of music with music videos: 'We're All Different, Yet the Same' was adapted from a true story, through same-sex wedding, deeply explored the issue of gender equality; 'Ugly Beauty' used absurd plots and styles to accuse rigid aesthetics." You Zuo of The Beijing News said: "In the shooting of music videos, she has made breakthroughs in almost every album. Although it is not without the kind of traditional music videos that focus on showing the singer's image. But at the same time, music videos with such a strong style like 'Play', 'Womxnly', and 'Lady in Red' are coming out, and her work has evolved with each album."

Tsai's music videos have been recognized by professional awards domestically and overseas. The music videos of the songs "Honey Trap", "The Great Artist", "Play", "I'm Not Yours", "Ugly Beauty", and "Lady in Red" have all been nominated for Golden Melody Award for Best Music Video, while the music videos of the songs "The Great Artist", "Play", "I'm Not Yours", and "Ugly Beauty" all won Golden Pin Design Awards.

Since her debut, she has been known for her bold and innovative fashion style, "[Tsai] has gradually changed from a girly and sexy style to a trendy and avant-garde fashion style, and with a variety of styles, she is firmly on the throne of the 'Queen of Pop'," said Anny Ting of Vogue Taiwan. Her debut appearance was as pure and cute as the girl next door, so she became popular among teenagers and was named the "Teenage Boy Killer", then she encountered a contractual dispute, and started again with the album Magic (2003), returning to the public eye with a fashionable and sexy look and dynamic dance music. In 2003, she was named Taiwan's "Fashion Hierarch" by the Taiwan edition of Ray magazine for her versatile look. In 2006, she was awarded The Style Award at the MTV Asia Awards. In the same year, she was voted the Best Fashion Artist by fashion magazine editors and netizens in a voting held by Yahoo! Taiwan.

Since 2007, Tsai has been invited to attend international fashion events such as the "Big Four" fashion weeks, the Met Gala, and the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, and became the first Chinese singer to attend all these six fashion events, the first Taiwanese artist to attend the Met Gala, and the first Asian artist to attend the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. She has appeared on the covers of Vogue, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, and Marie Claire several times. In addition, she has been ranked top ten on the FHM Taiwan's 100 Sexiest Women list eight times from 2000 to 2018, including one time being ranked top one. She also led the nail art trend. In 2005, she appeared the cover of the Taiwan edition of Nail Up magazine and was dubbed the "Queen of Nail Art" by the magazine.

Tsai has always been an artist with lucrative commercial interests, and has been called the "Queen of Money-Making" by the media for many years. She has been the highest-paid Taiwanese female singer of the year from 2004 to 2019, and the second highest-paid Taiwanese female singer of the year in 2020 and 2021. In 2014, Hong Kong's Next Magazine reported that her net worth exceeded NT$2 billion. Her record sales have so far exceeded 25 million copies, making her the highest-selling Taiwanese female recording artist since 2000. Beginning with her 2003 album Magic, each of her studio albums has been the highest-selling album by a female artist in Taiwan in the year of release, with four of which also being the highest-selling album overall in the country in the respective years of release. She has been ranked top 20 on the Forbes China Celebrity 100 list for six out of ten times since 2010, including being ranked top one in terms of Chinese female singer three times.

Tsai is considered a gay icon by the LGBT community. In 2012, she participated in the gender equality initiative by the Taiwan Alliance to Promote Civil Partnership Rights. Later, she expressed her support for the LGBT community through her songs such as "Dr. Jolin", "Fantasy", "Gentlewomen", "We're All Different, Yet the Same", and "Womxnly". In 2015, she was awarded Icon of the Year at the Asia LGBT Milestone Awards, with judges recognizing her as a public figure in support of LGBT rights despite the pressure of public opinion. In the same year, she featured on the cover of the lesbian magazine Lezs, stating that it was only natural for her to advocate for gender equality and same-sex marriage rights. In 2017, Billboard's Tamar Herman reported that she has promoted the value of love and quality through provocative songs and music videos in the generally conservative Chinese music industry, making her one of the most visible icons for LGBT people in Asia, Tsai responded: "I don't intend to become an idol for any specific group of people. All I want to do is to encourage some people by saying things I think to be right, so that they know they are not alone."

Legacy
Tsai has become a symbol of the C-pop music scene with her music, image, and dance, as well as her never-giving spirit and boundless potential. "Back in the early 2000s, Taiwanese artists such as Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai dominated Chinese-speaking markets throughout Asia, creating a golden era for Taiwanese pop music," said Liu Hsiu-wen of Billboard. "Her [Tsai] artistic achievements have already set an unsurpassable benchmark in the C-pop music industry. The name 'Jolin Tsai' can be said to have accompanied a generation of young people through two decades of brilliant youth," said Hung Hsiu-chu, former chairwoman of the Chinese Nationalist Party. NetEase Entertainment's Liang Xiaohui said: "Perhaps, in a few more generations, when we look back on the Chinese divas in the early 21st century, the first one that comes to mind will be Jolin Tsai rather than others, just as looking back at the second half of the 20th century, you can never avoid the shining name of Madonna." In 2010, she was awarded Top Ten Influential Hong Kong/Taiwan Music Figures of the Decade at the Top Chinese Music Awards.

Having a status to influence Chinese popular culture, Tsai has exerted a positive influence in the field of social issues. Billboard's Tamar Herman said: "As the reigning goddess of Chinese pop music, Tsai has represented same-sex couples and diverse LGBTQ+ lifestyles through her bright pop songs, offering an outlet for diverse expression in the generally conservative Chinese music scene. Through provocative songs and music videos that encourage self-love and understanding of one another's differences, Jolin has become one of the most visible icons in Asia's LGBTQ+ community." Liao Yuanling of Business Today said: "Jolin Tsai constantly uses microphones and spotlights to increase the energy of paying more attention to gender equality, but also use her diva halo, as the backer of these minority groups, making them feel more brave to speak up for themselves." In 2019, in the "Who Are the Most Influential Women to the New Generation" survey jointly conducted by Cheers magazine and Elle Taiwan, she was ranked first in the field of fashion styles, and second in both fields of gender issues and life attitudes.

Tsai's dance-pop has become an indicator of mainstream music in Greater China, and she has led the way for dance-pop to become mainstream music in the region.  Fan Jung-ching of Taiwan's Bloomberg Businessweek named her the "Great Chinese Dance Music Artist", and said: "Jolin Tsai has composed 'her era' with music, and has made the world know the world-class quality of Chinese dance music." "Jolin has elevated the pattern of Chinese dance music and has set a high standard that is difficult to surpass," said Hou Cheng-nan, associate professor of the Department of Mass Communication at I-Shou University. QQ Music's critic Mimimao said: "Jolin Tsai is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to the development of electronic dance music in the C-pop music industry, and electronic dance music has also completely fulfilled Tsai's music career, bringing the C-pop industry of the second decade of the 21st century into 'Jolin's era'. Tsai's keen sense of trend and bold attempts have become the benchmark of Chinese dance music, making her far ahead of her competitors of the same period."

According to Apple Music: "Jolin Tsai's legacy is built on her tenacity as much as her pioneering vision. Moving on from her first incarnation of sweet idol singer in 1999, she honed her signature slick dance-pop and dazzling moves on albums like Dancing Diva in 2006. But this was just the beginning for the daring artist, who continued to innovate her sound—and became an LGBTQ icon in the process. Songs like 'Play' and 'Ugly Beauty' are both sharp societal critiques and helped set new visual and creative standards for Mandopop, leaving no doubt about Tsai's lasting artistic relevance." She has influenced many artists and has become the idol and learning object of many other artists, including Cyndi Wang, Rainie Yang, A-Lin, Lala Hsu, Eve Ai, Shi Shi, Emma Wu, Yao Yao, By2, and others. You Zuo of The Beijing News said: "As one of the most influential female stars in the C-pop music scene, Jolin Tsai's insistence on making breakthroughs in art and caring for the society deserves the respect of everyone who cares about C-pop music."

Le terme Ukraine du Dniepr (en ukrainien : Наддніпрянщина, Naddnipryanshchyna : « Terres autour du Dniepr ») fait généralement référence au territoire de chaque côté du cours moyen du fleuve Dniepr. Le nom ukrainien dérive de nad‑ (préfixe : « au-dessus ») + Dnipró (« Dniepr ») + shchyna (suffixe désignant une région géographique).

Présentation
Le terme d'Ukraine du Dniepr est apparu peu de temps après le partage de la Pologne, à la fin du , lorsque l'Ukraine, en tant qu'ancien territoire de la république des Deux Nations (formée par la Couronne du royaume de Pologne et le grand-duché de Lituanie), a été divisée entre l'Empire russe et l'empire d'Autriche, plaçant l'Ukraine sous domination russe. Le terme a été supprimé peu après 1939.

Les Ukrainiens l'appellent parfois la Grande Ukraine (Velyka Ukrayina). Historiquement, cette région est étroitement liée à l'histoire de l'Ukraine et est considérée comme le cœur du pays.

Géographiquement, le terme fait référence au territoire de l'Ukraine situé le long du fleuve Dniepr.

O primeiro jogo do atacante foi em março de 2019, contra o Chattanooga Red Wolves pela USL League One, fazendo um hat-trick que deu a vitória por 3 a 2. Em junho, foi promovido ao time principal do FC Dallas, disputando sua primeira partida contra o Oklahoma City Energy, pela Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, que terminou com vitória dos texanos por 4 a 0, tornando-se o jogador mais jovem a defender a equipe. Seguiu jogando pelo North Texas até 2020, tendo participado de 14 jogos e feito 11 gols no total, antes de ser integrado em definitivo pelo FC Dallas, onde venceu a MLS All-Star e tendo feito 13 gols na temporada 2021, sendo comparado ao norueguês Erling Haaland.

Carreira internacional
Descendente de mexicanos, Pepi atuou na seleção Sub-17 dos Estados Unidos entre 2018 e 2019, tendo jogado 2 partidas pela Copa do Mundo da categoria. Chegou a ser sondado para representar o México, mas o atacante sempre mostrou interesse em jogar por seu país natal.

A estreia no time principal dos Yankees foi contra Honduras, em setembro de 2021, já como titular e dando 3 passes para Antonee Robinson, Brenden Aaronson e Sebastian Lletget (este, aproveitando um rebote de uma finalização do atacante), além de ter feito o gol da virada sobre os Catrachos. Pepi ainda faria outros 2 gols na vitória sobre a Jamaica, um mês depois.

Ricardo Pepi


تعتبر تمنطيط من أقدم الواحات باٍقليم توات الجزائري ولهذا فدراسة تاريخ الفقارة في هذه المنطقة يعتمد على دراسة تاريخها في تمنطيط:
 يشير بعض المؤرخين أمثال أشيلي" "J.cechalie وقوتي "E.f.gaitier " إلى أن اليهود ؛ هم أول من أدخل نظام الفقارة إلى تمنطيط عندما استوطنوها في القرن الرابع قـ ،هـ(1).
 بينما يرجع القاضي سيدي محمد بن عبد الكريم البكراوي نشأة الفقارة للقبائل الزناتية التي استوطنت المنطقة في القرن الرابع هجري.
 ولصاحب القول البسيط وجهة نظرا مختلفة فبرأيه الأقباط المصريين الذين اغتادوا المنطقة في وقت مبكر؛ هم أصحاب نشأة أول فقارة وكان أسمها هنو، وعلى الرغم من انعدام الأدلة التاريخية التي تفصل في الأمر إلا أنه من المرجح أن يكون رأي صاحب القول البسيط هو الأصوب ففقارة هنو، مهندسة بطريقة فنية رائعة بحيث تنساب مياهها تحت مساكن قصر تايلوت وأولاد اهمالي من الجنوب لتتجه شمالا صوب الواحات ، وهي تقنية مماثلة لتلك التي كانت موجودة في قصر الفرعون في مصر وهو ما أشار أليه القرآن الكريم قال تعالى: أليس لي ملك مصر وهذه الأنهار تجري من تحتي هذا من جهة، ومن جهة أخرى وبخلاف الفقارات الموجودة في تمنطيط ؛ ففقارة هنو لا يعرف منبع مياهها وحتى طريقة توزيع المياه فيها، مما يدل على أنها الأولى و الفقارات الأخرى كانت اقتباسا عليها وقد وجدنا في بعض الكتب التي تتحدث على الديانة المصرية القديمة ؛ بأن هنو هو اسم آلهة مصرية كانت عبادتها منتشرة بين المصريين قبل الميلاد، هذا ومن المحتمل أن تكون القبائل الزناتية هي المسؤولة ليس عن نشأة الفقارة وإنما عن تطورها والأستزادة منها لأن بعض الفقارات تحمل مسميات بربرية ، كأرمول ، مزز، تكرزيت ، التغجم ،قنباز، تزيقر، وتبقى فرضية اليهود هي الأضعف فالأدلة التاريخية تؤكد على أن يهود تمنطيط برعوا في قطاعي التجارة والصناعة وهيمنوا عليهما بشكل كبيرا وكان هذا هو سبب مزاحمة المغيلي لهم وأخراجهم من تمنطيط ، أما الزراعة فلم يكن لهم باع كبير فيها، ثم لو كانوا هم المسؤولون عن هندسة الفقارات فلما لا توجد ولو فقارة واحدة في تمنطيط تحمل أسما أو إشارة يهودية.

هندستها وآلية عملها

الفقارة هي عبارة عن سلسلة من الآبار مرتبطة ببعضها البعض تعرف محليا بالكراع ، تبعد كل واحدة عن الأخرى مسافة عشرة أمتار،أخذت شكل منحدر باتجاه الواحات ، وعند اقتراب المياه من الواحات تمر بآبار قريبة من السطح تدعى أغوسرو ومنها يتدفق الماء ليصل أخيرا إلى القسري ، وعلى حافته توجد العيون وهي الوحدات المستعملة لصرف المياه من القسري باتجاه البساتين، بعدما يحدد نصيب كل عين بدقة متناهية من طرف الكيال وهو الخبير بأسرار وحسابات مياه الفقارة، ويعتمد في تحديد نصيب كل عين على حجم مساهمة صاحب العين في الفقارة ؛ أي أن نصيب الماء يحدد بحسب عدد الأسهم ، فكلما كان عدد الأسهم كبيرا كلما كان النصيب من المياه أكثر والعكس صحيح، والقياس يكون باستخدام الحلافة وحدة القياس هي الحبة وتكون مجزأة إلى أربعة وعشرون قيراط والقيراط إلى أربعة وعشرون قيراط من القيراط ، فمثلا إذا كان نصيب الشخص أثنا عشرقيراط من القيراط فنصيبه يساوي 1/2 قراط ، وإذا كان له أربع قراريط من القراط فهو يملك 1/6 قراط فالتقسيم كان بشكل تنازلي من أكبر وحدة وهي الحبة إلى أصغر وحدة وهي قيراط من القيراط .
بعد الانتهاء من توزيع حصص المياه تحفظ الحسابات في الزمام، وهو السجل الخاص بتقييد عمليات التوزيع والكيل، وبخلاف الفقارات المتبقية ؛ فإن مياه فقارة هنو توزع وفقا لعدد أيام الأسبوع ، فبعد إحصاء عدد المساهمين يوضع جدول زمني يحدد فيه يوم ووقت استفادة كل مساهم ؛ فمثلا يوم السبت يخصص لقبائل أولاد باعمر ، أولاد بابكر ، أولاد باعثمان ، آت صالح ، بحيث تبدأ وقت استفادة قبائل أولاد باعمرمن مياه الفقارة من وقت آذن الفجر حتى الضحى ،وأولاد بابكر من الضحى حتى الظهر ، ثم أولاد باعثمان من الظهر حتى المغرب وآت الصالح من المغرب حتى الفجر، وتحديد مدة الاستفادة يكون دائما مرتبط بحجم المساهمة .
بعد الرحلة الطويلة يصل الماء أخيرا إلى البستان عبر الساقية ليستقر في الماجن، وهي حوض طيني تجتمع فيه المياه الآتية من الفقارة، وعند امتلائها يفرغها صاحب البستان لتبدأ المياه رحلة جديدة ولكن هده المرة إلى المساحات المزروعة ، وأول خطوة يقوم بها البستاني هي نزع الصمامة ليبدأ الماء بالتدفق عبر الابادو إلى المطرق الذي يحتوي على عدد من القمون على أن تسقى كل وحدة على حدا ،فكلما أرتوت قمونة سد فاه بالتراب لينصرف المياه ودائما عبر أبدوا عبر الابادوإلى التي تليها ،وبهذه الطريقة الهندسية الرائعة ، كانت تسقى واحات النخيل في تمنطيط.
