Weimar Republic: crises after World War IOverview of the crises facing the Weimar Republic after World War I. Contunico © ZDF Enterprises GmbH, Mainz
In its early years the new German democracy faced continuing turmoil. The Treaty of Versailles, quickly labeled "the Diktat" by the German public, galvanized the resentment that had accumulated during the war, much of which was turned back on the republic itself. Its enemies began to blame the hated treaty on the republic's socialist and democratic progenitors, whom they accused of having undermined Germany's efforts in the final stages of the war. A revived and radicalized right wing asked whether the German army might not have been stabbed in the back by traitors on the home front. Racist circles took seriously the notorious Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, a fraudulent document fabricated in Russia in 1895 and published in Germany in 1920, which suggested that all of recent history, including World War I, resulted from a conspiracy of Jews seeking to control the world. Roving Freikorps units contributed to the brutalization of German political life. In March 1920 one of these units, under the command of the former naval captain Hermann Ehrhardt, succeeded in briefly seizing control of the government in Berlin. This so-called Kapp Putsch, named after the conservative politician Wolfgang Kapp, who had planned it, was thwarted not by the army but by a general strike of Berlin's socialist and communist workers. Threats by military figures succeeded in forcing the resignation of Bavaria's socialist government and its replacement by a conservative regime, however, and thereafter radical groups of the right found protection and a degree of nurture in this southern German state. By the end of 1922 there had been nearly 400 political assassinations, the vast majority of them traceable to rightists. The victims included prominent politicians such as Matthias Erzberger, who signed the armistice of 1918, and Walther Rathenau, the foreign minister.
The June 1920 elections to the first Reichstag reflected the difficulties in which the new democracy found itself. The Weimar coalition parties, the Social Democratic Party, the Centre Party, and the Democrats, which in January 1919 had together received more than 75 percent of the vote, this time managed to win only 43.5 percent. Contributing to the problems that the republic faced in the early 1920s was the escalating rate of inflation that was eventually to destroy the German mark. Although the inflation was rooted in the huge debt that Germany had amassed in financing its war effort, the hyperinflation of 1923 was triggered by the French-Belgian military occupation in January 1923 of the German industrial district in the Ruhr valley. The occupation occurred in retaliation for Germany's having fallen behind in its reparation payments and was intended to force German industry to provide compensation for the French and Belgian losses. Rather than accede quietly to the humiliation of occupation, the German government urged workers and employers to close down the factories. Idle workers were paid during the following months with a currency inflating so rapidly that printers gave up trying to print numbers on bills. By mid-1923 the German mark was losing value by the minute: a loaf of bread that cost 20,000 marks in the morning would cost 5,000,000 marks by nightfall; restaurant prices went up while customers were eating; and workers were paid twice a day. When economic collapse finally came on November 15, it took 4.2 trillion German marks to buy a single American dollar.
The social and political cost of the hyperinflation was high. Scholars note that the inflation did more to undermine the middle classes than the ostensibly socialist revolution of 1918. A lifetime of savings would no longer buy a subway ticket. Pensions planned for a lifetime were wiped out completely. Politically, the hyperinflation fueled radicalism on both the left and the right. The Communists, badly damaged by their failure in January 1919, saw greatly improved prospects for a successful revolution. In Munich the leader of the small National Socialist German Workers' (Nazi) Party, Adolf Hitler, used the turmoil to fashion an alliance with other right-wing groups and attempt a coup in November 1923—the Beer Hall Putsch—that sought to use Bavaria as a base for a nationalist march on Berlin. He hoped to overthrow the democratic system of Weimar that he believed was responsible for Germany's political and economic humiliation. Neither the radicals of the right nor those of the left succeeded in imposing their will. In the short run they did not succeed because of ineptitude and miscalculation; in the long run they failed because the government sponsored a currency reform that restabilized the mark and also decided to end its policy of passive resistance in the Ruhr in exchange for an end to the occupation and a rescheduling of the reparation payments that it owed to the Allies.

Did you know that your paycheck is the single most valuable asset that you have? Just think about it. Everything that you do in life revolves around your paycheck – whether you have enough money to travel, pay off debt, move to a new city, go back to school, or even simply to pay your monthly bills. You need your paycheck to support the lifestyle you live and to help fund the lifestyle that you hope to live down the road.
Your paycheck is also a fundamental piece of your retirement plan. With your paycheck, you contribute to your 401(k) plan, IRA, ROTH and a portion of your paycheck goes towards your Social Security check (which you hope is there when you need it).
We all go to work and do our best so we can increase our paychecks and improve our overall lifestyle. What happens though when that paycheck disappears due to an untimely disability? Most people are left scrambling with very little savings to help them get by.
As Americans, we have the high honor of being the worst savers. Most people don't have enough saved for even life's smallest emergencies, like an untimely car repair or a plane ticket to visit a loved one. Little savings coupled with a disability could be enough to not only wreck your financial plan but cause financial devastation that 's hard to recover from.
That won't happen to you, though, right? Well, think again. The fact is that the odds of having a disabling injury are 1 in 3, compared to 1 in 20 odds for totaling your vehicle. If a 25-year-old who makes $50,000 a year at her job has a lengthy disability, it is estimated that the potential loss of earnings could be somewhere around $3.8 million.
Disability insurance is one of the best investments you can make in your financial plan to help ensure that a paycheck is there when you need it. It's a type of insurance that many people don't understand and therefore decide not to purchase. It can be confusing- there are lots of types of disability insurance and many different riders and exclusions to the policies. It can also be expensive depending on your age, health, and choice of career. But there are many ways to lower the cost of a disability insurance policy.
As a Certified Financial Planner Professional, I get an up close look at just how valuable disability insurance can be in a financial plan, and conversely, how not having disability insurance can capsize a plan in a matter of minutes. Here are a couple of cautionary tales that are fictionalized composites of the kinds of stories I come across all the time in my practice.
Jessica and Dan were your model couple on paper. Both were in their mid 40s, had great careers and very little debt. Jessica was a fashion stylist, and Dan ran a real estate business. They wanted me to help them better plan for their retirement needs, as they both hoped to retire early around 55. They wanted to travel the world and start non-profits for children's education in Africa. They had already begun saving in their 401(k) and Dan's SEP- IRA accounts for retirement, and they put away as close to the maximum as they could each year. Their cars were paid off and they only had a small amount left on Dan's MBA student loan.
Overall, not too bad considering their ages and goals, right?
Jessica and Dan came to visit me to get an expert's opinion on their strategy. At first glance I was impressed. Then I noticed that neither one of them was carrying any disability insurance. They were very turned off by the idea of purchasing a plan because they didn't want to pay the annual premium. The plan would have provided $10,000 in tax-free monthly income had they made the purchase, but they decided they were willing to take the risk.
You probably know where this story is going, but I will tell it regardless.
About a year after working with them, I got a call from Jessica that Dan had been disabled in a boating accident and was semi-paralyzed from his neck down. He was 45 and was out of work for at least a year, if not more, in and out of the hospital trying to recover. He lost the mobility of his legs, and he could barely operate his arms at times. On top of steep medical bills, they lost Dan's lucrative income from his real estate practice almost instantly. I helped them shuffle around assets as best as possible, which bought in around two years to three years of income before they would run out.
In an instant, their dreams of any retirement went out the door. Jessica had to take a second job just to make ends meet. It was heartbreaking to watch this young couple suffer defeat over a purchase that they could've afforded and would've provided much-needed income.
Stacey knew how important disability insurance was to her financial plan and purchased a policy in her 40s. She had learned about it from a friend who told her what riders and exclusions to purchase and she was confident that she was making a wise financial decision.
When Stacey met with an insurance agent, she was concerned about price and decided to buy an individual policy that was similar to her group policy that she had at her old company. This policy contained an "any occ" disabling definition in her policy, which meant that if she were disabled but could do any gainful job in the workforce (even flip burgers at McDonald's) her disability insurance would not pay out. She would need to be totally and fully disabled, like Dan, in order to collect her benefits.
-> Learn more about the types of disability classifications and what you should always look for.
Unfortunately, Stacey was diagnosed with diabetes in her mid-50s, and it came on fast. She had trouble walking, and suffered severe nerve damage which made it difficult for her to work. When Stacey came to me as a client, she was frustrated because she needed to use her disability insurance but had just learned the true definition of an "any occ" policy. Her insurance company would not pay out benefits, because, in their opinion, Stacey had plenty of employment choices.
In Stacey's situation, it's heartbreaking to see someone who thought they were making a wise purchase secure their financial plan but ended up in the same position as those who don't have insurance. She, unfortunately, had to burn through her retirement savings just to make ends meet. She sold her house and many of her possessions to get as much cash flow as possible, and ended up moving in with her sister who could help take care of some of the expenses of living.
Financial planning isn't just about saving money in your 401(k), IRA or ROTH. That's a great start, and you should save as much as you can into these retirement accounts for as long as you work. However, smart financial planning means that you take a look at all of your areas of risk – those places that leave you exposed. It's a law to have car insurance, but most of us have car insurance because we understand how costly it could be if we injured ourselves or someone else in a car accident. It's time that we also realize how expensive a disability could be to our financial plan, and our #1 asset, our paychecks.

Former Vice President Al Gore has one word of advice to President Donald Trump: "Resign."
Gore made the comments in a climate change video he made with LADbible, an entertainment website, ahead of the release of his new film An Inconvenient Sequel: A Truth to Power.
When the interviewer asked Gore if he had "one piece of advice" for Trump, Gore didn't mince words.
Almost immediately, Gore answered: "resign" and slowly shook his head up and down.
Most of the interview focuses on climate change—something Trump has repeatedly called into question. The president also announced that the United States intends to pull out of the landmark Paris Climate Accord, a global effort to reduce emissions.
"We've never had a president who's deliberately made decisions the effect of which is to tear down America's standing in the world," Gore said.
Gore visited Trump shortly after the election to discuss climate change, but last month told Late Night host Stephen Colbert that he had soured on the president's ability to combat climate change.
"I went to Trump Tower after the election," Gore said. "I thought that there was a chance he would come to his senses. But I was wrong."
This isn't the only pointed statement Gore has made in recent months. In July, Gore joined several prominent Democrats and called for a single-payer healthcare system, a system where taxes pay for people's basic healthcare costs.

Worry over whales
Matt Weiser
sacbee.com
Wed, 16 May 2007 14:57 UTC
It's not the return of Humphrey, but like him, two large humpback whales swimming in the Sacramento River near Rio Vista appear to be in trouble.
The mother and calf spent Monday between Rio Vista and a stretch of Cache Slough in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
As it was growing dark Monday evening, the whales were seen heading upriver near channel marker 49 in the Sacramento Deep Water Ship Channel, approximately 4 to 5 miles north of Rio Vista. No further sightings had been reported to the Coast Guard by 11:45 a.m. Tuesday.
Late in the day Monday, a crew from Alaska Whale Foundation tracking the whales said the mother was entangled in some kind of rope or fishing gear.
"It's some kind of wrap over her head. It looks like a crab pot line," Kathi Koontz, a volunteer research associate, said by cell phone from the foundation's boat Monday evening. "We're trying to monitor her and see how much of the wrap is there and where it's located."
The foundation is based in British Columbia and has an office in Benicia. With help from Solano and Sacramento County sheriff's boats, the group was attempting to coax the whales downstream to deeper water.
The foundation asked the National Marine Fisheries Service on Monday for permission to intervene to help the whales and was waiting for a response.
Koontz said the adult whale is about 45 feet long and her calf, likely born this winter, is about 17 feet long.
The whales were first spotted Sunday. On Monday word spread fast, spawning a sightseeing frenzy as the whales cavorted in Cache Slough, upstream from Rio Vista.
Hundreds of people lined the levees throughout the day Monday on both sides of the slough, near the Ryer Island Ferry crossing, as the whales swam back and forth across the ferry's path as if on parade.
"I never thought we'd be doing this today. This is history in the making," said Carol Paycer of Sacramento, who dashed to the scene Monday morning with her daughter, JaNiece Paycer-Mosher, as soon as they heard the news.
Observers noticed the mother whale's entanglement. In aerial video shot by a KCRA Channel 3 news helicopter, it was barely visible as an immobile object on the whale's right side.
The entanglement wasn't the only mystery surrounding the whales. U.S. Coast Guard officers, based in Rio Vista, say they personally confirmed seeing four whales on Sunday. By Monday, they could confirm only two.
The Coast Guard and sheriff's patrol boats maintained a 100-yard perimeter around the whales to protect them from boat traffic. A 1,000-foot flight ceiling was also in effect to protect the whales from disturbance by aircraft.
The region hasn't seen anything like this since 1985, when "Humphrey" the humpback whale dazzled Rio Vista and the world with a long visit before being helped back to sea. Then he returned to San Francisco Bay five years later, beached himself, and was eventually dragged back into the bay.
John Calambokidis, a whale expert at Cascadia Research in Olympia, Wash., said Humphrey hasn't been seen anywhere in surveys his group has done every year since 1990. He said it is likely that Humphrey is now dead, and probably didn't live long after his stranding due to the stresses involved.
Unlike gray whales, it is rare for humpbacks to enter inland waters such as San Francisco Bay -- let alone 30 miles upriver from the bay.
"To swim upriver is highly uncharacteristic," Calambokidis said. "It's hard to tell if they're stressed. At this point I think the most important thing would be to try to keep them as undisturbed as possible and monitor their movements."
A block party atmosphere prevailed along Cache Slough Monday as people stood up in their pickup beds, or poked up through sunroofs to get a better look at the visiting whale pair.
The two whales, swimming side-by-side, made repeated laps in the slough between the tip of Ryer Island and a point beyond the ferry crossing. The whales would surface for air at regular intervals, then dive, sometimes stirring up clouds of bottom sediments.
A trio of television news helicopters whirled overhead and the riverbanks were lined with people toting cameras and binoculars. Farmworkers getting off work from nearby alfalfa fields stopped to watch from truck beds. A school bus stopped and children leaned out the windows to see.
At around noon Monday, the Solano County Sheriff's Office asked the California Highway Patrol to help with traffic control on River Road, the route leading from Rio Vista to the ferry crossing.
"When do you get to walk out of your front door and then drive up and see a whale?" said Rio Vista resident Mike Neal.
Niko and Lolo Wong drove down from Sacramento when they heard the news. The couple visited Hawaii in January and paid $50 each for a whale-watching tour. This was better, they said.
"We got close, but we definitely got a better view here," said Niko Wong, who also witnessed Humphrey's visit 22 years ago.
The crowd reaction was a mixture of awe at the mysteries of nature and concern for the whales. Many onlookers rooted for the whales to point downstream and swim hard for the ocean.
Humpbacks are an endangered species under U.S. law and are also guarded by the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
Calambokidis said there are about 1,500 humpbacks in the California population. The group has been rebounding at a rate of about 8 to 9 percent annually since commercial whaling ended, he said.
The whales' needs are now in the hands of the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Marine Mammal Center, which works in partnership with the government to help stranded whales.
Aside from the adult's entanglement, heat stress after stranding is the biggest risk the whales face, said Jim Harvey, a marine science professor at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories.
Whales normally cool off by shunting more blood to their fins, flippers and flukes. This lets them pick up coolness from the surrounding water.
But when whales are in warm, shallow water or warm air, that heat exchange function doesn't work, and heat begins damaging the animals' organs.
"I'm concerned with the distance they are from the ocean," said Joe Cordaro, a wildlife biologist with the National Marine Fisheries Service. "If it starts getting more compromised as far as the safety of the animals, their health, that kind of stuff, then we may initiate something."
Human rescuers might help by either making loud, annoying noises behind the whales or playing more appealing whale vocalizations in front of them.
For any whale, Harvey said, "to go that far means they are pretty messed up," and they'll probably keep going until they figure out they've made a mistake, Harvey said.
"They're not really, really bright," he said. "I sort of think of them as the cows of the ocean."
Harvey said he believes, however, that the whales' prospects aren't bleak.
"I think the chances are probably very good, maybe with a little bit of help from humans, that they'll get out of there," he said.
California's humpback population normally winters off the coast of mainland Mexico and Central America. Then starting in May, they spend the rest of the year in the deep ocean well off the California coast.
Their normal diet is krill, a shrimp-like crustacean they eat by filtering through the baleen plates in their mouths. But in recent years, Calambokidis said, humpbacks have switched to eating mostly fish, which has brought them closer to shore than usual.
This may be a result of ocean conditions along the Pacific Coast that have disrupted the krill population, with drastic effects on sea birds and fish.
It's possible, Calambokidis said, that the Rio Vista whale pair followed a school of fish upriver.

Britney's first husband reveals all
By Larry Putzgerald February 26, 2007
Britney Spears' first husband, Jason Alexander, gave an exclusive interview detailing Britney's use of cocaine, ecstasy and downer drugs. The unsung hero tells of the time he saved Britney after she overdosed on pure ecstasy.
He confessed: "We used ecstasy at night to party and cocaine during the day to stay awake. Then we would take downers like Valium or Vicodin to come down and rest. Britney stayed up three days straight over New Year. I couldn't keep up.
"I think we took too much. We were taking capsules with pure MDMA inside. It wasn't pressed up into a tablet. It was the purest of the pure. I am a pretty big guy and at the time I was weighing 220lb and was extremely fit. We took two of those things. And it knocked my d**k in the dirt. Then it hit her and it hit her hard. In that situation, your body temperature heats up and you can die.
"She was sweating and overheating and her breathing was getting real slow. Other people were panicking. But we got her out the back and up to the suite.
"I took her into the bathroom and threw her into the shower. She was unconscious. She tripped and fell. I was trying to hold her up and speak to her. She wasn't moving. It scared me. I was f**ked up too and tripping out. I couldn't hold her up in the shower she was so f**ked up. She slipped and hit her head on the shower.
"I remember looking down at her all crumpled in the tub with the water coming down. She looked so white and lifeless I thought she was dead. I thought, 'This bitch is going to f**king die right here in front of me.'
"But I managed to get her colder and colder. I slapped her in the face and was shaking her. Eventually, she came round and we were both just f**ked. So we lay there naked on the bathroom floor for hours just talking." But the near-death experience did not stop Britney from continuing her wild antics.
Life with Britney was also all about threesomes with her backup dancers.
"We wore out everybody with us and they went back to the hotel. Soon it was just me, Britney and some of her back-up dancers who were with her. Eventually we ended up back in the room where the party continued. Britney stripped down and was dancing naked on the table with a bunch of her dancers.
"They were squeezing her t**s and a**. I was sitting off to the side, buzzed and watching it all go down. But later on I saw Britney walk back to one of the bedrooms with one of the female dancers. When she didn't come out in about five minutes, I got up to investigate. The door was unlocked so, of course, I had to open it.
"Every guy I know would love to see some buck-naked bitches going at it and that is exactly what was behind door number one. It was like winning the sex lotto. Britney and this girl were having some lesbian fun, so I did what every other straight guy would do – I dropped my pants and hopped right into the middle of it and enjoyed every second. It was definitely a New Year's Day to remember."
Thanks, rub it in some more. Every guy knows there'll never be another chance for threesomes with a prime Britney Spears. Four years ago people would have traded their left nut for that experience. Now that Britney Spears is bald and pudgy, it'll be a miracle if people use a whiffle ball bat instead of an aluminum bat to beat Britney Spears off their junk.

Tech we'd resurrect: 5 things we wish we didn't have to say goodbye to
Because sometimes good things are killed way before their time is truly up
06 April 2015 / 17:51MYT
Are there tech products you wished survived the onslaught of time?
It's great that we're surrounded by smartphones, can offload our data into the cloud at any time, and have the best displays ever. Sometimes, we find ourselves reminiscing about the tech we used to use. From gaming to music listening, these are the things that have left irreparable them-shaped holes in our lives.
The Nokia 3310 has long been immortalised in memes, revered for its seemingly invincible brick-like build. It didn't matter that games were limited. Neither did it have no colour nor internet connectivity. All that mattered was it lasted without us having to carry extra portable batteries around. Actually, make that most of Nokia's phones. But it's the 3310 we miss the most.

There was nothing fancy about it at all. Just white text on a black background type of operating system, nothing like the Live Tiles or Windows start button we're used to by now. But it seems like the folks over at Microsoft also yearn for the good olde days of MS-DOS, given the recent April Fools prank they pulled.
Tein Hee Seow
Online Editor, Asia
Pfft, kids nowadays with their new-fangled graphics user interface. If you've experienced Microsoft's earliest operating system, MS-DOS*, like I did, you'll miss these commands that'll make you feel like an accomplished programmer. Want to access folders? Type "cd". Need to see the full directory? "Dir" it is. So easy, I don't understand why we're using Windows 8.1.
*Technically, MS-DOS isn't dead - it still lives on as Command Prompt in Windows.
Joke's on you: The best tech trickery on this April Fools' day


Letter in which the Justice Ministry tells the war crimes tribunal that it hasn't heard from US authorities over the request for evidence against "Jesus Santrich."
Colombia's government lost the letter in which the country's war crimes tribunal requested the United States Department of Justice to surrender evidence of alleged drug trafficking by a demobilized FARC leader.
The FARC's long-time ideologue, "Jesus Santrich," was arrested in April last year after the US government requested his extradition on claims that the demobilized guerrilla leader was plotting to export 10 tons of cocaine.
Because Santrich is taking part in a peace process and is shielded from extradition, the war crimes tribunal requested evidence that would merit the FARC leader's expulsion from the peace process.
This formal request, however, never reached either the US embassy or the Justice Department in Washington DC. Because of the blunder, the legal time limit to surrender evidence has expired.
The government's apparent inability to deliver a letter spurred major criticism and even calls for the resignation of Justice Minister Gloria Maria Borrero.
Colombia's government can't even deliver a letter?
The Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) in December asked the Foreign Ministry to deliver the request for evidence to US authorities. This request was denied on claims that the procedure should be handled by the country's Justice Ministry.
Borrero confirmed having received the request on December 3 and on December 11, the minister's international affair chief, Natalia Muñoz, sent the letter to the US Department of Justice on December 11 using state postal service 4-72.
But instead of arriving in Washington DC, the letter ended up in Panama, a confused Borrero told Blu Radio on Friday, the day after the court request for evidence expired.
We process 180,300 extraditions a year through that mail. It is the first time, say the people in the ministry, that this has happened to us.
The minister said that, after finding out that the letter had ended up on a pile in Panama City, government officials personally handed the request for evidence to acting US Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, who was in Colombia a few days ago.
Borrero reportedly asked Linares to extend the legal time limit to surrender evidence to allow the US Department of Justice to comply with the request. The JEP did not publicly respond to the affair.
With or without evidence the DEA claimed to have, the FARC has said to be confident that Santrich would be released from prison and resume his political activities.
The US extradition request and the FARC leader's arrest spurred one of the biggest crises in the peace process. More than 30 former FARC commanders, including political chief "Ivan Marquez" went into hiding, allegedly afraid they too could be arrested on unsubstantiated claims of criminal activity.

Time magazine has described it as, "The Puebla victory came to symbolize unity and pride for what seemed like a Mexican David defeating a French Goliath." This victory helped establish a much-needed sense of national unity and patriotism among Mexican people.

Green living is becoming more and more important in our day to day lives in order to hand over a healthy planet to future generations.
I had the pleasure of attending a preview of what this year's Green Living Show will have to offer. The Green Living Show is celebrating its 10th year with a great line up of exhibitors and speakers, who are all determined to start strong on another decade of healthy and sustainable living. Being a foodie I was especially interested in the sampling of what will be on offer in the Pollinators' Plate Food and Drink pavilion.
This pavilion will be focusing on the importance pollinators (yes bees) have on our food system. Did you know that at least one out of every three bites of food can be attributed to the work of pollinators? This is one of several incredible things I learned.
My favourite exhibitor at the preview was Alvéole, a company working around Toronto and Montreal cultivating honey on various rooftops. They will also help you grow your own honey. The company will come and install the hive on your roof or in your back yard and perform regular check-ups. They will then harvest 10kg of honey from your hive at their honey house and you can participate in the process.
What was really incredible to me was how the honey from neighborhoods around Toronto really altered in colour. This is based on the difference in Eco systems from one neighborhood to the next. If having bees in your backyard is not your thing (though the company has solid teachings on how harmless bees truly are) then you can buy already cultivated honey right from the company bottled by neighborhood. HERE for more information.
The Green Living Show runs from April 15th to 17th at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Tickets prices are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors, children under 12 are free. On Friday April 15th adults save $5 after 4pm. For tickets and additional information visit their website HERE.
This week Montecito launched Late Night Affair, their Saturday night event located within their bar area named the directors lounge.. Marketed as the lounge to be where you get to skip dealing with bouncers, cover charges, and crowded dance floors, and they pulled out all the stops for the launch.
Visit The Evergreen Winter Village for a variety of holiday needs. I visited today while it was still mild out and found a completely charming and unique set up.

Long Branch Receives Funding To Build Sheet Pile Wall To Protect Shore
LONG BRANCH: The city will be receiving funding in the near future to take further action to protect its coast from future storms.
Long Branch will be receiving over $7.3 million in federal funding to build a sheet pile wall that will run along the east side of the city's new boardwalk.
The city is expected to go out to bid for the new boardwalk sometime this month after bonding over $18 million for its design and construction.
The Long Branch boardwalk, as well as the bluffs, bulkheads, and adjacent roads, were severely damaged as a result of Superstorm Sandy.
The funding for the sheet pile wall is being provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), according to a release from Congressman Frank Pallone.
"This grant will help to ensure that our community is resilient if another major storm hits our shores," Pallone said in the release. "As we continue to rebuild, we have a unique opportunity here in Long Branch, and throughout the state, to improve our infrastructure so it is stronger than before and can withstand future storms."
The wall will be 5,450 lineal feet steel and will be installed for feet deep into the ground. It will help control erosion and reduce or eliminate the threat of damage to the boardwalk, bluffs, bulkheads, and roadways in the event of future storms.
The installation of the sheet pile wall will allow the destroyed boardwalk to be elevated above the base flood elevation (BFE). The new boardwalk will also be almost 10 wider than the original.
Construction of the new boardwalk is expected to begin in the spring and last through the summer months.

Johann Heinrich Wefing (* 12. September 1854 in Eickum, Ostwestfalen; † 6. Juli 1920 in Berlin) war ein deutscher Bildhauer.

Leben

Heinrich Wefing studierte ab 1871 an der Berliner Kunstakademie bei dem Historienmaler Karl Gottfried Pfannschmidt, sowie den Bildhauern Albert Wolff und Friedrich Drake. Seit 1887 arbeitete er als "städtischer" Fachlehrer für Modellieren und Kunstgewerbe an einer nicht genauer benannten Berliner Fachschule. 1907 bekam Wefing den Titel Professor verliehen. Als Opfer der schweren Grippeepidemie und der Hungerzeiten nach dem Krieg starb er 1920 im 66. Lebensjahr. Er wurde auf dem Alten Zwölf-Apostel-Kirchhof in Berlin-Schöneberg beigesetzt.

Schaffen
Etliche Werke Wefings, wie z. B. das Relief "Musizierende Engel", wurden vielfach kopiert und in unterschiedlichsten Variationen abgewandelt. So erfolgte auch die farbliche Gestaltung der Druckgrafik nach dem Engel-Relief sicherlich nicht durch ihn selbst, da er farbenblind war. Das Wittekind-Denkmal in Herford fand sich als Abbildung auf vielen Gegenständen des täglichen Gebrauchs wieder. In identischer Ausführung – für diese Zeit selten – erfolgte die Herstellung der Kriegerdenkmäler in Groß Neuendorf (Oder), in Schloß Neuhaus (Westfalen) und in Ortelsburg (Ostpreußen). Vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg vollendete Wefing noch das Modell eines Bodelschwingh-Denkmals für Bethel, das aber nicht mehr zur Ausführung kam. Dann nahm ihm der Krieg jede Möglichkeit künstlerischen Schaffens, nur als Lehrer konnte er noch tätig sein.

WASHINGTON — Tiller, an unincorporated Oregon community pressed against the western boundary of the Umpqua National Forest, is not the first place that comes to mind when discussing an impending throw-down in Congress.
Nor for that matter is Cascadia, Juntura or Helix, or any of 16 other difficult to find and easy-to-overlook Oregon towns.
In a last-gasp effort to head off annual losses that could hit $18.5 billion by 2015, the Postal Service has proposed closing post offices in all those communities and 3,700 more nationwide as a way to save money, consolidate services and respond to competitive pressures from private rivals. It also would close 252 mail processing centers, including four in Oregon.
The drastic step is necessary, postal managers say, to correct a flawed business model that no longer works in the digital age and threatens to bankrupt the nation's far-flung mail service.
So doors must close, jobs must be lost and people must drive further to conduct business with the U.S. mail. In Oregon, the plan calls for 20 rural post offices to close as well as processing centers in Salem, Bend, Eugene and Pendleton.
To say it's unpopular in Congress is an understatement.
noting like other critics that rural communities would be especially hard hit and that having a local post office is essential for a healthy local economy.
Postal officials concede there are no easy choices. But, they say, survival is at stake.
That's how Tiller and the other Oregon facilities ended up on a list nobody outside the U.S. Postal Service wants to be on. It's easy to see why. Tiller is a community of perhaps 300 people (nobody knows for sure) which means its post office has neither a lot of mail volume nor revenue.
consolidating them will save money without affecting service. Merkley disagrees. "It would essentially mean the end of overnight delivery of first class mail," Merkley's spokeswoman Julie Edwards said.
U.S. postal officials originally planned to move early this year but pulled back in the face of blistering criticism in Congress and beyond.
Charles Pope/The OregonianClosing rural post offices would harm the local economies, Merkley says.
Cut operating hours, she says. Reduce salaries and bonuses for senior officials or even eliminate Saturday service, Farris says. Anything short of closing.
Internet connection is hard if you can get one at all," she says, batting down suggestions that old-fashioned mail can be replaced with modern technology.
Postal officials have felt the pressure. And in response, they have promised to delay any action until May 15 to give time for Congress to consider legislation. That could happen as early as this week.
There are multiple bills, including one from Merkley that would prohibit the closing of any post office that is more than 10 miles from the next closest facility.
"If you take the number of hours of wasted economic potential, it's far more logical to have the post office open," Merkley said in an interview.
"Realize folks may drive now to get to their current post office; they may drive 10 or 15 miles. Then to drive another 30 or 40 miles to get to the next post office is just a complete waste of gasoline and time and resources," he said.
Merkley's bill as well as a second measure that he says would stabilize the service's finances without widespread closures.
Merkley says his bill would allow the Postal Service to stabilize it's finances without widespread closures. That would preserve an important social and cultural anchor for small towns.
Merkley says there are savings that can be found without serious disruptions to service. Beyond that, he says reliable and universal postal service is a crucial government function that must be protected even if the economics don't always add up.
Beth Nakamura/The OregonianRufus, Oregon postmaster John Exley talks to a customer Monday. Critics of a plan to close post offices in rural areas like Rufus, population 250, said it would harm the community's economic health and remove a cultural anchor.
"This is an example of something we do collectively because it is smart to do it together," he said. "... This network provides an overall benefit to creating an integrated economy. Just as it was essential to our communities when the Constitution was written, it's still essential today," he said.
DeFazio shares that assessment but goes further, charging the Postal Service with essentially cooking the books to justify closing facilities.

Todiramphus miyakoensis, "miyakokungsfiskare", är en fågel i familjen kungsfiskare inom ordningen praktfåglar. Tidigare bektraktades den ofta som underart till guamkungsfiskare (Todiramphus cinnamominus), men erkänns numera vanligen inte som ett giltigt taxon. Vissa urskiljer den dock alltjämt som egen art.

Fågeln är endast känd från ett exemplar, troligen en hane, som ska ha samlats in på ön Miyako-jima i  Ryukyuöarna 5 februari 1887. De enda skillnaderna mellan detta exemplar och guamkungsfiskaren är att miyakoensis saknar ett svart band i nacken och fötterna är röda istället för svarta. Skillnaderna i vinglängd tros vara en effekt av uppstoppningen. Om exemplaret verkligen utgör ett eget taxon är fågeln med största sannolikhet utdöd idag.

It is in order to reinforce its approach and its daily work with its young talents, that the team wished to be a member of our movement. Lars Juel Andersen, the team's referring doctor, will be in charge, on a voluntary basis, to apply the MPCC rules of practice.
"As a new promoted team at the UCI Pro Continental league, Riwal Readynez Cycling Team, wish to apply for membership at your organization, MPCC.
The team has existed for 9 years as a continental team with the primary focus on promotion in Denmark. From day One, we have worked with talent development as well as an ethical, moral and anti-doping code.
Working on the team in processes, the above is more important than results. We feel that we have succeeded in Denmark, being approved as a professional company, taking the development of its young employees seriously.
Now, the next step for the team is to enter the international scene and succeed with the same strategy. In this work we believe that a membership of the MPCC will help us to make our work visible.
Along with the team's values "Passion, Development, Community" we feel it is obvious to apply for a MPCC membership."

The Nature Conservancy Launches $95 Million Campaign in Michigan
Michigan - It's in Our Nature
September 18, 2019 | Lansing, Michigan
Kari Marciniak
Director of Strategic Communication
Email: kmarciniak@tnc.org
In Michigan, we are defined by the path we walk — a quiet hike through an Upper Peninsula pine forest, a stroll along the sandy shores of crystal blue Lake Michigan, a trek through endless expanses of farmlands, or through the aisles of fresh flowers and crisp produce at Detroit's bustling Eastern Market.
"Preserving this legacy will depend on our ability to create a future where people and nature thrive together," said Helen Taylor, state director for TNC in Michigan. "At The Nature Conservancy in Michigan, we are already hard at work discovering solutions to some of the toughest challenges facing us today. But we can't do it alone. That's why we are announcing the public launch of our campaign to raise $95 million for conservation in Michigan."
"Achieving a sustainable future for Michigan will require greater, immediate and more strategic investments in the health of our lands and waters as well as the policies and practices that affect them," Taylor said.
"To date, we have raised $89 million to fund our principle strategies," said Jeremy Wittrock, director of development. "We are focused in four main areas: Protecting Land and Water, Providing Food and Water Sustainably, Tackling Climate Change and Building Healthy Cities."

Getting the Wrongs Right
Last year, Anne Farrow wrote an article called "Sam Gould And The Isles Of Loss" as part of a special issue of Northeast Magazine about Connecticut's role in the slave trade. Farrow identified Samuel Gould as a mariner aboard an 18th-century New London slave ship based on the ship's log, which had "Sam Gould" written on the flyleaf and appeared to have been written in his hand.
In today's Hartford Courant, she concedes that Gould could not have written the log.
Our story deeply upset Laura Barber Cayer of Mansfield. She is a genealogist and a descendant of the Samuel Gould who died in Fairfield. Her ancestor was not the man who served aboard the slave ships in the log. When her ancestor died in 1769, he was nearly 80, far too old to have been the man who served aboard a slave ship a decade earlier.
Don't erect a statue to Sam Gould just yet: he was a slave owner—a fact which Cayer makes no effort to conceal.
"From my perspective," Cayer said, "the correction ...was never about not wanting to have my ancestors associated with a slave trader. It was about having [correct] the historical facts and genealogy that my mother and I spent 10 years of our lives researching." [Link]

Der Alte Katholische Friedhof (auch Innerer Katholischer Friedhof) zählt zu den ältesten noch bestehenden Begräbnisstätten Dresdens und war zum Zeitpunkt der Einweihung 1724 der erste katholische Friedhof der Stadt nach der Reformation. Aufgrund zahlreicher Grabmale des Barock, Rokoko und Klassizismus zählt er zu den kulturhistorisch bedeutendsten Friedhöfen im Dresdner Raum. Die 11.000 Quadratmeter große Anlage gehört zu den Kulturdenkmalen der Dresdner Friedrichstadt.

Namentlich hebt sich der Alte Katholische Friedhof vom Neuen Katholischen Friedhof ab, der sich ebenfalls in der Dresdner Friedrichstadt befindet.

Geschichte

Katholische Friedhöfe waren, wie auch jüdische Friedhöfe, im streng protestantisch geprägten Dresden noch im 17. Jahrhundert verboten. Als August der Starke im Handel um die polnische Königskrone im Jahr 1697 zur katholischen Kirche konvertierte, wuchs in den folgenden Jahren der Zuzug katholischer Künstler, Gelehrter und Beamter in die Hauptstadt Sachsens. Ebenso politisch motiviert war die Heirat des Kurprinzen Friedrich August (II.) mit der österreichischen Erzherzogin Maria Josepha im Jahr 1719, die August der Starke selbst vorangetrieben hatte. Durch eine Verbindung mit Österreich hoffte er unter anderem, Verbündete gegen die immer stärker werdenden Preußen zu gewinnen. Maria Josepha war streng katholisch erzogen worden und ließ sich im Ehevertrag "versprechen, daß alle ihre männlichen und weiblichen Bedienten auf einem eigenen Kirchhof … begraben werden sollten". Zuvor mussten sich Katholiken entweder im Kloster St. Marienstern in der Lausitz oder in Böhmen beerdigen lassen. War dies aus finanziellen Mitteln nicht möglich, konnten sie auch entgegen ihrem Glauben auf protestantischen Friedhöfen beigesetzt werden.

Am 2. Oktober 1720 erteilte August der Starke den Auftrag, den ersten katholischen Friedhof Dresdens anzulegen. Um Konflikte mit der protestantischen Bevölkerung zu vermeiden, wurde dafür ein Platz außerhalb der Residenzstadt im damaligen Kammergut Ostra gewählt. Die Vorstadt Dresdens war erst 1670 gegründet worden und zählte zu den wenig besiedelten und einladenden Besitztümern des Kurfürsten. Katholiken konnten sich nur unter bestimmten Bedingungen auf dem neuen Friedhof beerdigen lassen. Sie mussten entweder aus dem Hofstaat von Maria Josepha stammen oder zu ihren Bediensteten gehören. Tote mussten vor der Beerdigung beim Rat der Stadt gemeldet werden und die Begräbnisse selbst in aller Stille stattfinden. Zugleich verbot August der Starke, je am Friedhof Veränderungen vorzunehmen oder eine Kapelle zu bauen. Gruftbauten waren verboten, "was zeitgenössisch eine Herabsetzung des betreffenden Friedhofs beinhaltete". Der Friedhof unterstand August dem Starken selbst, der trotz seines katholischen Glaubens Oberhaupt der protestantischen Landeskirche geblieben war.

Erst 1723 erließ August der Starke zwei Gunstbriefe, in denen er festlegte, dass bei Beerdigungen auf dem Friedhof im Gegensatz zu Beerdigungen auf protestantischen Friedhöfen keine Begräbnisgebühren an protestantische Geistliche entrichtet werden müssen. Auch Katholiken, die zum Hofstaat des Königs und des Kurprinzen gehörten, durften nun auf dem Friedhof beigesetzt werden, mussten jedoch die Gebühr bezahlen. Überprüft wurden die "auserwählten" Katholiken über ein beglaubigtes Verzeichnis, das alle Katholiken am sächsischen Hof auflistete und das dem Evangelischen Geheimen Konzilium jährlich vorgelegt werden musste.

Die erste Bestattung fand am 16. Februar 1724 statt, als der italienische Schauspieler Johann Carl Philipp Molteno zu Grabe getragen wurde. Im selben Jahr folgten 27 weitere Bestattungen. Unter Friedrich August II. erhielten am 9. September 1738 ausnahmslos alle Katholiken die Erlaubnis, sich auf dem katholischen Friedhof beerdigen zu lassen. Neben Bewohnern Dresdens war es auch Katholiken aus "Neustadt, Leipzig und in anderen benachbarten Orten" erlaubt, ihre letzte Ruhe in Dresden zu finden. Infolgedessen wurde der Alte Katholische Friedhof bald zu klein und daher 1740 und 1742 erweitert. Die Verordnung Augusts des Starken, den Friedhof auf alle Zeit unverändert zu lassen, war bereits mit der königlichen Weisung aus dem Jahr 1738 aufgehoben worden. Im Jahr 1842 erfolgte durch Bischof Franz Laurenz Mauermann eine dritte Erweiterung des Friedhofs auf seine heutige Größe. Auf dem neuen, schmaleren Land wurde noch im selben Jahr die Michaelskapelle errichtet, die am 7. September 1842 geweiht wurde. Im Jahr 1914 erhielt sie einen Anbau, in dem Balthasar Permosers Kreuzigungsgruppe aufgestellt wurde, und ein neues Portal mit dem Relief Kreuztragender Christus von Matthias Corr. Neben dem Eingang befinden sich zwei Gedenkkreuze für Mitglieder des Wettiner Königshauses.

Im Jahr 1995 wurden das Torhaus und die Friedhofsmauer umfangreich saniert.

Grabstätten

Grabkunst

Im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert entwickelten sich Friedhöfe, darunter der Alte Katholische Friedhof, "zu Stätten, auf denen die Bildhauer sich vorzugsweise zeigten. Es brach eine wahre Leidenschaft für stattliche Grabdenkmäler an." Auf dem Alten Katholischen Friedhof wirkte unter anderem Franz Pettrich. Er schuf gemeinsam mit Traugott Leberecht Pochmann (1762–1830) das Grabdenkmal seines Lehrers Giovanni Battista Casanova sowie in Alleinarbeit unter anderem das Grabrelief für Bischof Johann Alois Schneider und die Grabfigur für Maria Therese von Dressler und Scharfenstein. Sein "unbestritten empfindungsvollstes Werk" ist das Grabmal für seine beiden verstorbenen Ehefrauen. Es zeigt auf einem Sarkophag eine ruhende Frau, die in ihrer Hand zwei Mohnkapseln hält und damit den Tod einem ewigen Schlaf gleichstellt. Vor dem Sarkophag befindet sich Pettrichs eigenes, schlichtes Grab.

Berühmt wurde Gerhard von Kügelgens schlichter Grabstein, den Caspar David Friedrich auf seinem 1822 geschaffenen Gemälde Kügelgens Grabstein verewigte. Der Originalstein wurde nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg durch eine Kopie ersetzt. Das Grab Carl Maria von Webers, der erst 1844 auf Betreiben Richard Wagners nach Dresden überführt wurde, stammt von Gottfried Semper, dem Erbauer der Dresdner Semperoper.

Balthasar Permoser, einer der bedeutendsten Bildhauer des Barock, fand ebenfalls auf dem Alten Katholischen Friedhof seine letzte Ruhe. Im Alter von 80 Jahren fertigte er seinen eigenen Grabschmuck. Die große Kreuzigungsgruppe, die sein Grab ursprünglich zierte, wurde 1888 zuerst restauriert und schließlich aus Witterungsgründen in die Kapelle überführt, die zu diesem Zweck 1914 einen Anbau erhielt. Auch die Figur neben Permosers Grab, die die Begräbnisstätte eines Unbekannten ziert, wird heute als ein Werk Permosers angesehen.

Künstlerisch interessant ist zudem das Grab des Generalmajors Baron Georg O'Byrn (1864–1942), dessen Portraitbüste auf dem Grabstein von Georg Wrba stammt. Die Porträtmedaillons der Gräber von Maciej Wodziński und Gräfin Josepha Agnes Puchalska fertigte Ernst Rietschel. Der Schriftsteller Otto Rudert bezeichnete den Alten Katholischen Friedhof aufgrund zahlreicher künstlerisch wertvoller Grabmäler auch als "Grabkunstinsel".

Das Relief Guter Hirte im Zentrum der Priestergruft I wurde von dem Bildhauer Otto Zirnbauer geschaffen, der von 1935 bis 1942 in Dresden wirkte.

Persönlichkeiten, die hier ihre letzte Ruhestätte gefunden haben

Auf dem Alten Katholischen Friedhof befinden sich Gräber katholischer Bildender Künstler, Komponisten, Sänger und Schriftsteller. Eine Besonderheit bilden zwei Grüfte für Geistliche. In der Priestergruft I, die ein Relief von Otto Zirnbauer (1903–1970) ziert, waren die Urnen von den im Konzentrationslager Dachau verstorbenen Geistlichen Alois Andritzki, Aloys Scholze und Bernhard Wensch bestattet. Die Urnen dieser drei Priester wurden 2011 im Rahmen des Seligsprechungsprozesses Andritzkis in einer Prozession zur Katholischen Hofkirche überführt. Auch beim Luftangriff auf Dresden getötete Geistliche fanden in der ersten Priestergruft ihre letzte Ruhe. In der Priestergruft II, deren Christusrelief von Hugo Peters stammt, befinden sich Gräber von nach 1945 verstorbenen Geistlichen. Auf einer größeren Grabfläche hinter der Kapelle liegen zahlreiche Gräber von Mitgliedern der Kongregation der Schwestern von der hl. Elisabeth, die seit 1860 in Dresden wirken. Alle Gräber sehen sich ähnlich und zeigen eine weiße Schrift auf schwarzem Grund mit einem einfachen weißen Kreuz.

Auf dem Friedhof fanden zahlreiche italienische Künstler, aber auch Unternehmer ihre letzte Ruhe. Sie waren teilweise schon unter August dem Starken nach Dresden gekommen. Viele von ihnen waren am Bau der Katholischen Hofkirche ab 1738 beteiligt (vgl. "Italienisches Dörfchen"). Der Franzose Zacharias Longuelune, der Entwürfe für die Hofkirche lieferte, fand auf dem Friedhof ebenso seine letzte Ruhe wie der Italiener Lorenzo Mattielli, der 78 überlebensgroße Figuren für die Kathedrale schuf. Auch das neoklassizistische Grabmal der Eheleute Giovanni Ercole Samuele Torniamenti († 12. Januar 1890), Besitzer des Café Reale auf der Brühlschen Terrasse, und ihres früh verstorbenen Sohns, des Malers Carlo Torniamenti, sowie die Gräber des Malers Ermenegildo Antonio Donadini und seines Sohns Ermenegildo Carlo Donadini (1876–1955) befinden sich auf dem Alten Katholischen Friedhof.

Von ursprünglich rund 120 Gräbern polnischer Katholiken haben sich rund 37 auf dem Friedhof erhalten. Es handelt sich um Gräber von Polen, die einerseits bereits unter August dem Starken zum sächsischen Hof gehörten, andererseits erst nach dem Scheitern des Novemberaufstands 1830 als Emigranten nach Dresden kamen.

Nicht erhaltene Gräber und Gedenksteine

Seit der Gründung des Friedhofs wurden Gräber aufgelöst, Grabsteine wurden zerstört oder gingen verloren. Einige dieser Grabsteine konnten restauriert werden, wiederum andere ersetzte man durch Gedenksteine. Dazu zählt der Gedenkstein für den Bildhauer Lorenzo Mattielli, den der Bildhauer Christian Hempel im Jahr 2001 geschaffen hat. Er bildet mit seinem konvexen Abschluss das Gegenstück zum Gedenkstein für den Komponisten Jan Dismas Zelenka, den Christian Sieg 1996 schuf und dessen Endstück eine konkave Viertelkugel aufweist. Auch die Grabsteine der Hofmusiker Silvius Leopold Weiss und Francesco Maria Cattaneo gingen verloren und wurden durch eine Gedenkstele ersetzt. An die Übersetzerin Dorothea Tieck, Tochter des Schriftstellers Ludwig Tieck, erinnert eine Gedenktafel.

Gräber, die nicht erhalten, jedoch auch nicht durch einen Gedenkstein ersetzt wurden, waren unter anderem die von:
 Luigi Bassi (1766–1825), Sänger
 François Coudray (1678–1727), Bildhauer
 Anton Bernhard Fürstenau (1792–1852) und dessen Sohn Moritz Fürstenau (1824–1889), Flötisten

Auf dem Alten Katholischen Friedhof befinden sich auch Gedenkkreuze für Mitglieder des Wettiner Königshauses. Vor der Kapelle befinden sich die Gedenkkreuze für König Johann von Sachsen und seine Frau Amalie Auguste von Bayern (linkes, dunkles Kreuz) sowie seiner Schwester, der Lustspielautorin Amalie von Sachsen, der mit dem weißen Kreuz rechts neben dem Kapelleneingang gedacht wird. Weitere Gedenkkreuze auf dem Friedhof erinnern an Maria Kunigunde von Sachsen und Johann Georg von Sachsen, Bruder des letzten sächsischen Königs Friedrich August III. Die meisten Gräber von Mitgliedern des Wettiner Königshauses seit 1700 befinden sich heute in der Gruft der Katholischen Hofkirche.
