United Nations International Computing Centre (UNICC) has selected #Element as its #secure communications platform, following a competitive #tender process.

Element stood out as a digitally sovereign platform which offers end-to-end #encryption. Its ability to be #federated to support multiple organisations was also a key factor in the #selection process.

#UNICC will self-host Element through an Element Enterprise subscription.

1970 letter from Margrethe, then Princess of Denmark, to J.R.R. Tolkien about "The Lord of the Rings" to say that since she came across the book a year ago she has been reading it every since, and she has included these illustrations which she made as chapter headings, based on how she imagined settings in the chapters.

They continued to correspond over the next few years. In 1972 Margrethe became Queen of Denmark and in 1977 she illustrated the Folio Society edition of The Lord of the Rings.

Drawings for chapter headings. A Conspiracy Unmasked - a scene of the baths at Crickhollow showing steam rising out of a large barrel-like bath with pails and a bench and towels. The Old Forest - a dense drawing of the gnarled trunks of trees in the Old Forest In the House of Tom Bombadil - a drawing of Water-lilies on a pond with grasses around Fog on the Barrow-downs - a drawing of four standing stones in a semi-circle with fog round and barrow hills beyond A Journey in the Dark - drawing of the twisted caverns of Moria The Bridge of Khazad-dûm - a drawing of the narrow bridge deep underground Lothlórien - a drawing of the forests round the hill on which the base of the mallorn-trees is visible where Caras Galadhon sits
