Safer internet = safer sex - on 352luxmag.lu

Safer internet = safer sex - on 352luxmag.lu | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it
BEE Secure's new campaign aims to get the message across...

 

A new campaign by BEE SECURE called 'safer internet - safer sex' was launched at the weekend during the On Steitsch festival at the Carré Rotondes.

 

It's a word play on infections that computers can get; "viruses" and real human infections caused by sexual transmitted diseases - both cases affect adults but especially youngsters.

 

Ostensibly the message is 'Just like you need to use a condom to protect your life, you also need to protect your computer with the right tools as well' therefore the choice of slogan "Protege ta vie - protege ton ordi" (protect your life - protect your computer).

History of Luxembourg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

History of Luxembourg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it

The history of Luxembourg is inherently entwined with the histories of surrounding countries, peoples, and ruling dynasties. Over time, the territory of Luxembourg has been eroded, whilst its ownership has changed repeatedly, and its political independence has grown gradually.


Although recorded Luxembourgian history dates back to Roman times, the history of Luxembourg proper is considered to begin in 963. Over the following five centuries, the powerful House of Luxembourg emerged. Its extinction put an end to Luxembourgian independence.

 

After a brief spell of Burgundian rule, Luxembourg fell into the hands of the Habsburgs in 1477.

Henri Tudor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henri Tudor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it

Henri Owen Tudor (30 September 1859, Ferschweiler – 31 May 1928) was a Luxembourgish engineer, inventor, and industrialist.

 

===> He developed the first practical lead-acid battery in 1886 (Gaston Planté was the French physicist who invented the lead-acid battery in 1859). <===

 

Tudor established a factory in Rosport for the purposes of manufacturing the batteries. However, the cost of manufacturing the product in Luxembourg, which had no lead industry and little domestic demand of its own, forced Tudor to expand manufacturing overseas, particularly in Belgium, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

 

Tudor died in 1928, at the age of 68, of lead poisoning. At the time of his death, 25,000 people worked in the manufacture of Tudor batteries.

Historique du musée


Un cabinet d’histoire naturelle dans l’ancien Athénée (1854-1892)

 

En 1850 est fondée, sous le patronage du Prince Henri des Pays-Bas, la Société des Sciences Naturelles avec le but de concourir au progrès et à la propagation des sciences naturelles dans le pays. Pour assurer une conservation adéquate des collections acquises par la société, l’Etat met à sa disposition quelques salles à l’Athénée, actuellement Bibliothèque Nationale.

 

Un cabinet d’histoire naturelle y est alors créé avec le but de réunir tous les objets qui peuvent intéresser l’étude de l’histoire naturelle du Grand-Duché et les sciences naturelles en général.
