MacDuff's Cross, also known as the Cross of MacDuff or Ninewells, is the remains of an ancient white sandstone monument, located on a historic site between Lindores and Newburgh in Fife, Scotland. Robert Sibbald suggested the date of its construction to have been 1059 CE, however earlier dates have been considered.

Description

It is located beside a minor road west of Black Cairn Hill, around  southwest of Newburgh, where only the pedestal remains of what once was supposedly a cross. The stone is  high,  in length and  wide. There are various indents on the monument, suggested to have originally been nine cup and ring marks. Other crosses exist in Mortlach, Aberdeenshire; Kiels, Inverary; Strathlacplan, Argyll; and on Iona, Islay and Oronsay.

Law of Clan MacDuff

The cross is supposed to mark the spot where the clan Macduff, in return for its chief's services against Macbeth, was granted rights of sanctuary and composition for murder done in hot blood. This legend suggests a penalty of nine cows and a heifer for such a crime. Shortly after the death of Macbeth, King of Scotland, Malcolm III of Scotland was also supposed to have bestowed on the Thane of Fife the privilege of ordaining the King, and leading the charge in battle.  The cross was originally dedicated to Saint Magider and smashed to pieces by a mob of fanatical followers of John Knox in 1559. It was a place where William Ballingall suggested "arch-criminals claimed the protection of the Law of Clan Macduff".

Inscription

MacDuff's cross was said to have been marked with a "metrical inscription, in a strange half-Latin jargon, the varying copies of which, still preserved, have given much occupation to antiquaries". After studying two early translations, Walter Wood suggested that it read "An altar for those whom law pursues, a hall for those whom strife pursues, being without a home. Who makest thy way hither, to thee this paction becomes a harbour. But there is hope of peace only when the murder has been committed by those born of my grandson. I set free the accused, a fine of a thousand drachms from his lands. On account of Macgridin and of this offering, take once for all the cleansing of my heirs beneath this stone filled with water."

Homage to the Highest Power (朝元圖) is a prime example of Daoist paintings in the Royal Ontario Museum collection. The wall painting was created during the late Yuan Dynasty, . The painting is colored pigments mixed with clay and plaster. It measures 306.5 cm high and 1042 cm in length. This painting is similar to those found in Sanqing Hall of the Yongle Gong in Shanxi province. The Sanqing Hall paintings are dated by an inscription to 1325. Based on the strong stylistic affinities, this work can also be dated to the Yuan dynasty.

Daoist imagery
Homage to the Highest Power is a popular theme in Daoist pictorial art. Daoist theology advocates the concept of Dao (the Way), a primeval force which gives form to all things in the universe. Homage to Dao is expected of all regular followers.

Description
The wall painting is one of a pair from the Pingyang region of southern Shanxi province. This work was created as decoration for the west wall of a temple hall or worship space. It is symmetrically balanced leading your eye first to the central figures and then fanning out on either side. It shows a procession of heavenly beings moving at a leisurely pace to pay homage to the Supreme Power.

The procession is led by a fierce warrior, the Lord of the Southern Dipper (Sagittarius). He leads nine star spirits, female attendants with plant offerings, three important deities, and personifications of the twelve Earthly Branches. The three deities have been identified as Laozi (founder of Daoism) with the Jade Emperor and the Empress of Heaven, or Laozi with the Holy Ancestor and Ancestress of the Song Dynasty (960–1279).

The Kabale–Lake Bunyonyi Road is a road in Uganda, connecting the town of Kabale to Lake Bunyonyi, reported to be the second-deepest lake in the world.

Location
The road starts at Kabale, Kabale District, the largest city in the Kigezi sub-region, approximately , south-west of Kampala, the capital and largest city of Uganda. From there, the road travels in a general south-westerly direction to the shores of Lake Bunyonyi, a distance of approximately

Overview
Lake Bunyonyi is an important tourist attraction in Uganda, due to its remote location, cool climate and the absence of crocodiles, hippopotami, bilharzia parasites and scarcity of malaria-carrying mosquitoes. The surface of Lake Bunyonyi lies at an altitude of , above sea level.

The road is used by tourists and residents who live on the more than 25 islands on the lake. Prior to 2019, the road leading from Kabale to the lake was gravel-surfaced. The government of Uganda intends to improve the road to class II bitumen surface, with culverts and drainage channels. Other road infrastructure around the lake is being developed to attract more tourists.

Upgrade and funding
In March 2019, the Ugandan junior minister of finance announced that government had secured US$18 million to upgrade the Kabale-Lake Bunyonyi Road to class II bitumen surface and to procure a marine ferry to transport tourists and residents across the lake. At that time, the procurement process for a contractor for the road and a supplier for the ferry were ongoing.

In December 2020, the African Development Fund (ADF), approved a loan of US$71.5 million, as 86 percent funding for the improvement of this road and the Kisoro-Mgahinga Park Gates Road. The total road distance to be upgraded measures . Other related infrastructure developments under the same loan include the construction of two roadside markets and construction of four ferry landing sites on Lake Bunyonyi. The government of Uganda will contribute US$11.9 million as its 14 percent equity funding towards this development.

Luigi d'Este (21 December 1538 – 30 December 1586) was an Italian Catholic cardinal, the second son of the five children of Ercole II d'Este, Duke of Modena and Ferrara, and Renée, daughter of Louis XII of France.

Biography
Luigi, a member of the House of Este,  was born in Ferrara. A man of the world whose personal emblem was Prometheus bearing fire in the stalk of fennel, he was made a Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church in Pius IV's consistory of 26 February 1561 and served as Cardinal Protector of the kingdom of France, which made him one of the most powerful and influential members of the College of Cardinals; he kept as his secretary Arnaud d'Ossat, a skillful French diplomat who was eventually made a cardinal himself.

He was Bishop of Ferrara (1550) and Apostolic Administrator of Ferrara (1561 – 8 October 1563), deacon of S. Angelo in Pescheria (1577–1583) He participated in the Papal conclave, 1565–1566 but not in the conclave of 1572, as he was absent in France. He played a key role, however, in the Papal conclave, 1585.

Luigi d'Este lived partly in Rome and partly at the Villa d'Este, Tivoli, built for his uncle Ippolito II d'Este. In Rome he rented from the Orsini an agglomeration of case at Montegiordano, near Piazza Navona, where he kept in attendance the large famiglia or household expected of a man of his birth and position, and a villa suburbana on the Quirinal that is now the residence of the President of Italy.  Careless of his mounting debts, Cardinal d'Este was the most influential patron of the madrigal composer Luca Marenzio, whom he employed as maestro di cappella from August 1578 until the time of his death: during the eight-year period, Marco Bizzarini observes, Marenzio published some two-thirds of his copious output. To Cardinal d'Este Marenzio dedicated his Primo libro de' madrigali a5, 1580, "because of the debt of an infinite number of favours", and books of motets published at Venice were dedicated by Bertoldo Sperindio (1562) and Francesco Portinaro (1568). Cardinal d'Este was a generous patron of scholars, men of letters—like the poet Torquato Tasso, who was taken to Paris in 1565 in the Cardinal's household and dedicated his Rinaldo to him but was deemed mentally unstable in 1579 and confined at Ferrara for several years, during which he wrote a number of philosophical dialogues and discourses—and scientists, such as the Neapolitan polymath Giambattista della Porta, whom he invited to join him in Rome in 1579. Among the Cardinal's paintings was Correggio's Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine, now in the Louvre.

He died in Rome in 1586. He bequeathed his entire estate to his brother Alfonso II d'Este. Luigi d'Este is buried in the church of S. Maria Maggiore (commonly known as S. Francesco), Tivoli.
