The town of Segni, Italy in conjunction with the International Society of Biourbanism invited Lejobart, international artist duet composed of Beju and Sherryl Muriente, to create a project based on the principles of biourban acupuncture during their 56th Sagra del Marrone Segnino Festival. Lejobart embarked on an art installation and performance piece which involved collaboration with nearly three hundred citizens of the town. The installation featured a sculpture by Beju as the central point of interaction and a communal space which promotes a public place for envisioning the future of the town. A tree that lamentably had to be cut, because ruining the ancient walls of the city, has been transformed in a social and positive "sacrifice" through art. Following the theme of a beehive, 300 words collected from randomly selected citizens were used to compose a poem illustrating the city of Segni. This text was read out loud by the “Queen Bee” played by Sherryl Muriente during the performance, atop the 15 foot tall sculpture at the culminating location and time of the project. The sculpture includes at its top a pulpit-like space that allows someone to stand and face the crowd below. It also holds the beehive and symbols that are important to the people of Segni. The tree in which these “bees” were to gather is located on what has been understood as the ancient Roman Auguraculum of the Segni Acropolis. The artists incorporated this idea into a modern version of future visualization, by creating an “auguraculum” from this tree. In the artist version of the Auguraculum, they decided to shift the “augura” or future prediction into the hands of everyone. Thus, proposing a collective Auguraculum, where everyone can gather and envision the future of the town together.
Mrs. Sherryl Muriente, MURP, Assoc. AIA, is an Instructor at the School of Urban and Regional Planning, Florida Atlantic University. Beju is an Artist born in France, and based in Palm Beach, Florida, USA. They sign their common artistic performances as “Lejobart”.
Tatjana Capuder Vidmar obtained degrees in architecture but began exploring other artistic pursuits after feeling frustrated by commercial architecture trends in Slovenia. She created paper models and landscapes that focused on capturing the complexity and self-similarity of natural spaces. Her work was inspired by nature and aimed to show its beauty in order to give people faith in life. She participated in a biourbanism summer school that aligned with her interest in designing spaces that support life through understanding nature's complexity. She hopes to apply biourbanism principles at larger scales to generate healthier urban and landscape spaces.

•Biourbanism introduces new conceptual and planning models for a new kind of city, which values social and economical regeneration of the built environment through developing and healthy communities.
•Biourbanism combines technical aspects, such as zero-emission, energy efficiency, information technology, etc. and the promotion of social sustainability and human well being.
“’Placemaking’ is both an overarching idea and a hands-on tool for improving a neighbourhood, city or region. It has the potential to be one of the most transformative ideas of this century”

The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of climate change on wheat production. Researchers found that higher temperatures and changing precipitation patterns will significantly reduce wheat yields across major wheat-producing regions by 2050. The study concludes that efforts must be made to develop wheat varieties that can tolerate hotter and drier conditions to ensure future global food security as the climate continues to warm.

The passage discusses the importance of teaching children social and emotional skills at a young age. It notes that developing skills like self-control, communication, and relationship building can help children succeed in school and life. Fostering these abilities requires that parents and teachers make the time each day to interact, read, and play with children to help them understand and manage their feelings.
