Board of Ordnance var en engelsk og senere britisk myndighet med ansvar for å designe, teste og produsere våpen for den britiske hæren og frem til 1830 for den britiske marinen. Den fikk også ansvar for produksjon av artilleritog og vedlikehold av kystfestninger, og produksjon av militære kart inntil Ordnance Survey tok over den oppgaven.

Etaten ble etablert i tudortiden på 1500-tallet, med hovedkvarter i Tower of London. Dets hovedansvar var «å fungere som vokter av eiendommene, depotene, og festningene påbudt for forsvaret av rikets og dets oversjøiske besittelser, og som leverandør av krigsmateriell og utstyr til hæren og marinen.»[2] Etaten vedlikeholdt og kontrollerte også artilleri- og ingeniørkorpsene, da disse ble opprettet på 1700-tallet. Ved 1800-tallet var Board of Ordnance kun mindre i størrelse enn HM Treasury (det britiske finansdepartementet).[3]

Ordnance Board

Etaten varte fram til 1855 da det ble innlemmet i War Office (Krigsministeriet).[4]

Under boerkrigen viste det seg at den britiske hæren hadde for dårlig utstyr, og det ble opprettet en ny etat, Ordnance Board. Den ble opprettholdt som en enhet under Forsvarsministeriet fram til 1990-tallet, da den ble omorganisert som Defence Ordnance Safety Group.

Muurschildering van Gesar Het epos van koning Gesar is het belangrijkste heldendicht van Tibet en een groot deel van Centraal-Azië. Het epos is ontstaan in Kham in een periode dat er nog nauwelijks sprake was van georganiseerd en monastiek boeddhisme in het gebied. Onderdelen van het verhaal moeten voor 700 al in een of andere vorm hebben gecirculeerd en hebben een oorsprong in de preboeddhistische periode van Tibet. Vanaf de elfde eeuw hebben boeddhistische missionarissen het epos in de vor...
