An imperceptible painter fluctuating between naturalism - so in vogue at the end of the 19th Century – and melancholic works of art with touches of symbolism, Albert Maignan (1845- 1908) is one of the great and forgotten artists of this period. Celebrated and remembered by the Taylor Foundation and the Picardie Museum, which both accepted to share the artist's heritage, Maignan finally takes the legitimate place among talented artists he occupied in Paris at the end of the century. Trained by Jules Noël and Évariste Luminais, Maignan became a faithful fixture of the French Salon des Artistes as early as 1867, with successful exhibitions that continued until his death. Reputed for his painting flair, reminiscent of grandiose decorations inspired by his numerous trips to Italy, where he discovered the classics of the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries, Albert Maignan's name is linked to the monumental construction sites of his time. He left behind a masterful and forever-vibrant collection: the walls and ceilings of the famous Train Bleu restaurant at Paris' Lyon Train Station and Opéra-Comique theater, tapestries in the Senate building, the protruding spandrels of the Paris City Hall palace, the stained glass windows of the Saint-Philippe-du-Roule church… Appointed President of the Taylor Foundation in 1905, the artist would bequest his Parisian home-studio on 1, rue La Bruvère. Albert Maignan played a decisive role in the artistic life of Paris at the turn of the century, working with unceasing generosity to promote and protect artists.

Baron Taylor, the Association of Artists & the Exhibition at Bazar Bonne-Nouvelle in 1846
Published under the direction of Bruno Foucart, the souvenir edition of the exhibition, a major event in the life of artists of the XIXth Century. This exhibition was the biggest of the "free" exhibitions organized on the fringe of the Salon. The initiative was taken by the Association of Artists, an association of mutualized assistance founded by Baron Taylor in 1844. The uniqueness of the exhibition lay in its display of tableaux by Ingres, who boycotted the Salon from 1834 and by David who, after a loss in popularity due to the triumph of romanticism, was enjoying renewed interest in his work. The most vocal critics of the time, including Baudelaire and Thoré-Bürger, would salute this event.

Why Do We Have Racial & Ethnic Categories?
Post author By Micki
No Comments on Why Do We Have Racial & Ethnic Categories?
Why do we have racial and ethnic categories? Are these categories there to divide or protect us? What's the difference between "race" and "ethnicity" anyway? When does someone become just plain "American?"
It appears to be very difficult for most of us, when put on the spot, to define "race" or to describe the difference between "race" and ethnicity.
Most people think that "race" is a biological category – something in our genes, and that ethnicity has to do with unusual foods or customs. But, "race" is a social, not a biological, category.
Beginning with the first Census Report in 1790, and every 10 years after, the U.S. government has asked us to identify ourselves. But the categories of "race" and ethnicity we've had to select from have been ever shifting! Since 1900 alone, over 26 different racial terms have been used to categorize the U.S. population. People once thought to be of separate "races", for example, the Irish, Italians, and Jews, are now all considered Caucasian.

No Comments on Why is it always Us versus Them?
What is it that divides us?
How can we learn to understand those who are different from us? How can we help others to understand and appreciate who we are?
Our families, friends, schools and communities have a huge influence on who we become as adults. People who help form our perceptions of the world are usually those who are similar to us in ethnicity, socioeconomic class, education, background and lifestyle.
Our perceptions of the world are formed largely when we are children.

No Comments on What makes us all the same?
Are we the same because we work for the same organization or go to the same school? Are we the same because we speak the same language or live in the same neighborhood? Are we the same because we listen to the same music or eat at the same restaurants?
These questions may seem trivial, but as our society becomes more diverse the ways we choose to divide ourselves from others and who we include and exclude from our groups become important issues.

No Comments on What makes us all unique?
Have Americans created a melting pot, a mosaic, or a patchwork quilt? What kinds of barriers still keep people from attaining their goals? How can we all be productive and successful? These questions are of crucial importance now and in our future.
A simplistic, but true, answer comes from an old saying, often repeated, and used by patriots everywhere, "united we stand divided we fall." In order for us to grow and prosper we need to be aware of how our thinking keeps us from seeing others in an inclusive way. Some people call this a "diversity" issue. Perhaps it's really a "unity" issue, an issue that is important to the "community".
The citizenry of our country are diverse and ever changing.

Diversity & CommUnity: How We View Ourselves & Others
No Comments on Diversity & CommUnity: How We View Ourselves & Others
Haven't we gotten beyond the "race" issue?
This crucial question has been asked for decades. When you ask it of white people most answer "yes"; but when you ask people of color, the answer is "no". Why the different answers? Because most of us are ignorant — "lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated" from The Oxford Dictionary online. We don't know our own history and we don't understand biology.
"Our thoughts are unseen hands shaping the people we meet. Whatever we truly think them to be, that's what they'll become for us." ~Richard Cowper

Hamburg - After a battling performance in Josef Zinnbauer's first game in charge, Hamburger SV managed to secure a prized first point of the season with a 0-0 home draw against FC Bayern München.
Philipp Lahm: We can't really be happy when we only get a draw. In the second period, we definitely had the chances to win the game. In the first half, though, we weren't quite at our best. We'll focus on Tuesday now [against SC Paderborn 07].
Manuel Neuer: Obviously, we always want to win, wherever we're playing. Today's problem was that we were a bit too late in putting pressure on HSV. For that reason, we'll have to take a point.
Lewis Holtby: We showed real desire out there today. That started right in the dressing room, where we really got ourselves in the zone, and you could then see that out on the pitch as we really fought for each other. We were tough to play against.
Nicolai Müller: The fans were great and we put in a good performance. The coach told us before the game to press Bayern high and put them under pressure. We managed that, and in our current situation, the point is vital. We've got another tough game on Wednesday though [against Borussia Mönchengladbach].

Taygete saundersella is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Vactor Tousey Chambers in 1876. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Kentucky.

The forewings are pale creamy yellow densely dusted with blackish scales beneath the fold. There is a blackish spot on the base of the costal margin, another about the basal fourth on the costal margin, which is not distinctly separated from one placed obliquely behind which touches the fold. There is another on the costal margin just behind the middle, behind and beneath which is another just above the end of the fold, and the apical part of the wing very densely dusted with blackish. The hindwings are rather deeply emarginate beneath the tip and pale slate color.

Visual Anthropology
People living in the West tend to have a clear idea of what religion should look like: it tends to take place in a building set aside for the purpose (a church, synagogue, mosque, temple etc.), revolves around appeals to a higher, all-powerful deity and involves the articulation of beliefs (often set down in texts) to which the general population may or may not subscribe. Anthropologists have studied such religions, but they have also examined contexts where religious practice looks very different. In many cultures and societies, the idea of a single God may not be present, and the notion of reading a sacred book like the Koran or the Bible would seem very strange, not least because writing and reading may not play any part in people's lives. Even the western notion of 'belief' does not make much sense in contexts where ideas about gods and spirits are taken for granted, and are not challenged by other faiths or the conclusions of the natural sciences.
Anthropologists of religion are not concerned with discovering the truth or falsehood of religion. They are more interested in how religious ideas express a people's cosmology, i.e. notions of how the universe is organised and the role of humans within the world. Many study rituals which incorporate symbols, and note how these often help to bring communities together in times of crisis or special points in the calendar. The actions of religious specialists, whether these are priests, prophets, shamans or spirit mediums are also examined. In many societies, such specialists have important political and economic as well as religious roles to play.

Charismatic, street-wise young men, living in Botswana's capital, command the prophetic domain in Eloyi, their Apostolic faith-healing church, at a time of escalating crisis. Bitter, sinful accusations divide Eloyi's village-based archbishop and his son, the city based bishop. The church itself, seen to be 'under destruction', splits. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, prophets are seen in trance, whirling in ecstasy, praying, running wild in exorcism and feeling patients' pain in their own bodies. But beyond empathy and avowed compassion, prophets hustle and shock. This film illuminates the creative tension between holiness and hustling by showing how, in this Apostolic church's time of crisis, city prophets assert themselves powerfully because they are both holy and hustlers.

Reports on the Resistance: Tens of Thousands March for Science on Earth Day
By: Dan La BotzApril 23, 2017
Tens of thousands, many of them scientists, joined the March for Science on Earth Day, April 22, in cities across the United States and around the world. There were some 400 marches in the US with crowds estimated at 20,000 in New York and Los Angeles, some 15,000 gathered on the Washington Mall, and 1,000 in Portland, Oregon. Other marches took place in hundreds of other cities around the world from London to Tokyo.
The march was largely motivated by President Donald Trump's proposed budget that would cut funding for many science programs, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which is being cut by 31 percent. Marchers in Washington carried signs reading, "Save the EPA." and "Save the NIH" The NIH is the National Institutes of Health, which is also being cut by 18.3% or $5.8 billion. Other marchers in various cities carried signs reading, "There Is No Planet B," and "Make Science Great Again" among many others.
Many marched for fact-based or evidence-based discussion and debate in society around questions such as global warming, as opposed to the explosion of fake news. Marching in San Diego, Solange Jacobs Randolph expressed he views of many across he country. "We can't have policy that's not based on facts. And we've got too much of that going on in America today, where our President, at the highest level, is not leading with fact-based evidence," she said.
In San Francisco one sign read, "Make America Smart Again!" Some marchers there modifying a classic chant shouted, "What do we want? Evidence-based science! When do we want it? After peer review!" Concern about climate change was high on the list of the marchers' concerns, as were other environmental issues. Some marchers in Los Angeles carried signs that simply read: "Water."
The march was sponsored by a variety of scientific organizations, among them the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Geophysical Union, the American Chemical Society, and he Paleontology Society. Public health physicians, nurses, and other health workers participated in significant numbers. Many of the scientists marched with their families in spring rains on the East Coast.
Originally organized through the social media site Reddit and then through a Facebook event site, within a week the supporters grew from 200 to 300,000. Popular educator Bill Nye "the science guy," Mona Hanna-Attisha, pediatrician and the key whistleblower in the Flint Water Crisis, and Lydia Villa-Komaroff, a cellular biologist and among the first Mexican-American women in the United Sates to receive a doctorate in the sciences served as the public faces of the March.
While not so central to the leadership of the March for Science as they have been in other protests, in several cities Democratic Party politicians spoke at the rallies. In Los Angeles, Democratic Congressman Brad Sherman told marchers there, "Not since Galileo was condemned by the Inquisition have science-deniers had such powerful friends."
In San Francisco, however, no politicians were permitted to speak. "Science is nonpartisan. That's the reason that we respect it, because it aims to reduce bias. That's why we have the scientific method. We felt very strongly that having politicians involved would skew that in some way," Caroline Weinberg, a public health researcher and co-organizer of the march, said at the National Press Club earlier this month.

Newsroom JLL sells fully occupied industrial building in Tempe, Arizona
JLL sells fully occupied industrial building in Tempe, Arizona
Last mile facility garners a notable $16.20M
Stacey Hershauer
PHOENIX, September 9, 2019 – Demand for last-mile facilities has garnered the Phoenix office of JLL a $16.20 million sale price ($127 price-per-square-foot) for a Tempe, Arizona infill industrial building that is fully leased by the world's largest express transportation company.
JLL Senior Vice Presidents Tivon Moffitt and Peter Bauman, and Executive Vice President Steve Larsen, represented the building seller, MRM Tempe LLC. The buyer was an out-of-state partnership involved in a 1031 exchange.
Located at 8210 S. Hardy Dr. – less than one mile east of Interstate 10 – the 128,000-square-foot building was constructed in the late 1990s as a built-to-suit project. It has remained 100 percent occupied by the same company since delivery.
"Strategic importance as a last-mile facility, combined with recent building improvements, historical occupancy and a prime infill location were all significant drivers for the economics of this transaction," said Moffitt.
"Last mile facilities remain in high demand," added Bauman. "We continue to see cap rate compression for functional real estate, strong credit and long-term leases."
According to JLL, strong and steady absorption has dropped the Valley's industrial vacancy rate to a 10-year low of 6.7 percent. The Southeast Valley led that absorption during the second quarter as demand continues to rise for supply chain and e-commerce facilities.
"Data supports what we see on the ground, which is that the overall Phoenix industrial market continues to see strong absorption and rapid rent growth," said Larsen. "That is especially true for in-demand markets like the Southeast Valley and infill locations like this Tempe facility."

State photo-ID databases become troves for police. (Washington Post)
In many ways, this is much more disconcerting than the NSA data-mining "scandal." Top of the website this morning:
The faces of more than 120 million people are in searchable photo databases that state officials assembled to prevent driver's-license fraud but that increasingly are used by police to identify suspects, accomplices and even innocent bystanders in a wide range of criminal investigations….
The most widely used systems were honed on the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq as soldiers sought to identify insurgents. The increasingly widespread deployment of the technology in the United States has helped police find murderers, bank robbers and drug dealers, many of whom leave behind images on surveillance videos or social-media sites that can be compared against official photo databases.
But law enforcement use of such facial searches is blurring the traditional boundaries between criminal and non-criminal databases, putting images of people never arrested in what amount to perpetual digital lineups. The most advanced systems allow police to run searches from laptop computers in their patrol cars and offer access to the FBI and other federal authorities.
Study finds supportive tilt to gay marriage coverage. (New York Times)
Tough call here. The piece points out:
The study lends credence to conservative charges that the nation's news media have championed the issue of same-sex marriage at the expense of objectivity. Others have argued that news organizations are right not to overly emphasize opposition to what many see as a core civil rights issue.
And that's what makes it a tough call. Would news coverage that tilted toward legalizing interracial marriage have been wrong? What about news coverage that tilted toward freeing slaves? We strive for fairness and balance, but does every issue require that each side get equal time?

If composting can make it here, it can make it anywhere. It's up to you, New York.

2. The core issue: How should the ARIA attributes be spelled?
This analysis is intended to be neutral with respect to ideology, history and constituency. For a useful overview of how we got here, see WAI-ARIA Implementation Concerns (member-only link) by Michael Cooper.
The W3C's WAI PF Working Group recently published the first public working draft of the Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) specification, which "describes mappings of user interface controls and navigation to accessibility APIs".
The ARIA spec. defines roles, states and properties to manage the interface between rich web documents and assistive technologies. The primary expression of roles, states and properties in markup languages is via attributes. Since ARIA is meant to augment web applications across a range of languages and user agents, ARIA has to specify how its vocabulary of attributes and values can be integrated into both existing and future languages.
In preparing this analysis, I have reviewed the available concrete evidence bearing on the matter, and have carried out a considerable amount of work to replicate and, in some cases, correct or extend, testing which has been done in the past. The details are available in a report entitled Some test results concerning ARIA attribute syntax.
ARIA is useful only if it is widely supported. It therefore needs to integrate cleanly into existing and future languages as easily as possible. Before looking at possible answers to the spelling question, we need to consider exactly what supporting ARIA means.
We can distinguish two levels of support for ARIA on the part of user agents, which I'll call 'passive' and 'active' support. By passive support, I mean that documents with ARIA-conformant markup are not rejected by the agent, and the markup is available in the same way any other markup is, e.g. via a DOM API or for matching by CSS selectors. By 'active' support I mean the user agents actually implement their part of ARIA semantics, that is, reflecting changes to ARIA-defined states and properties via accessibility APIs.
Although already deployed implementations cannot offer active support, an optimal answer to the spelling question would maximise passive support from existing languages, as well as encouraging active support from subsequent implementations.
land-grab Just use 'role' and the names of the properties (e.g. 'checked', 'hidden') as attribute names.
colon Use 'aria:' as a distinguishing prefix, giving e.g. 'aria:role', 'aria:checked' as attribute names.
dash Use 'aria' plus some other punctuation character, e.g. dash, as a distinguishing prefix, giving e.g. 'aria-role', 'aria-checked' as attribute names.
The land-grab approach is pretty clearly unacceptable, because of clashes with existing vocabularies and the likelihood of clashes with future ones, and will not be considered further.
The current ARIA WD specifies a combination of the colon and dash approachs, with the colon being specified for use with XML-based languages, with the necessary additional requirement that 'aria' is bound to the ARIA namespace in the usual way, i.e. xmlns:aria="http://www.w3.org/2005/07/aaa", and the dash approach being specified for use with non-XML languages. We'll call this the mixed approach hereafter.
My understanding is that as of the date of this note, the WAI PF working group have indicated that their intention is that the next draft of the ARIA specs will move to the dash appropach.
Choosing an approach is made complicated by the landscape of language and infrastructure standards it has to fit in to, and by the fact that these are moving targets. We therefor have to distinguish between what is currently in place, what we have reason to expect in the near future, and what we can foresee in the longer term. Furthermore, for existing languages we have two categories: XML-based languages, with more or less explict provision for extensibility in general, typically namespace-based, and non-XML languages, which for the purposes of this analysis we will take to be HTML 4.01 and nothing else.
As noted above, the best we can expect from deployed user agents is passive support. The table below sets out the extent of passive support which is available for the colon and dash approaches for each of three host languages, which exemplify the major relevant categories: HTML 4.01 (for the non-XML languages), XHTML (an XML language, but not always treated as such, so we actually get two columns for it below) and SVG (only an XML language).
It should be noted that some of the entries above disagree with assertions made in the past about browser behaviour. At least some of those assertions were based on flawed test materials—see the discussion of experiments 1 and 2 in my testing report for details on the information summarised above.
A number of browser implementors have responded positively to the ARIA initiative and have included experimental active support for ARIA in pre-release versions of their products. Most of the test materials and implementation information I can find suggests that only the dash approach, and only HTML or XHTML, are currently being implemented.
With regard to improving passive support, it seems very possible that IE8 will support attribute selectors of the form [aaa:checked], which would remove the qualification recorded in the table above by footnote 4.
The situation with respect to HTML5 is complicated. As it currently stands, the HTML5 draft specification supports namespaces internally, and all HTML elements are parsed into the DOM nodes in the HTML namespace, regardless of whether they are parsed "as HTML" or "as XML". But when parsing documents "as HTML", no other namespaces are recognised. Unless this changes before HTML5 is completed, the HTML/"XHTML (as if HTML)" columns above will apply to HTML5-conformant user agents in at least some cases.
1 HTML5's provision for extensibility, whether compatible with XML namespaces or not, is an open area of discussion at the moment.
2 That is, it requires the use of a fixed aria prefix and may not (i.e. in some browsers) correctly set the namespaceURI property even when targetting an XML DOM.
6 That is, adds the concept of a fixed, dash-delimited, prefix as a way of managing distinct symbol spaces to the existing non-fixed, colon-delimited prefix for the same purpose.
7 That is, requires all embedding languages to explicitly allow and manage an inventory of fixed prefixes and, possibly, their vocabularies.
For wholly commendable reasons, development of the ARIA spec. and pilot implementation work have proceeded in parallel. Most if not all existing implementations support only the dash approach. What is the likely cost for those implementations of any decision to adopt any other approach? My conclusion, having examined one implementation in some detail, is that the cost is likely to be very modest.
The complexity referred to above is fundamentally one of architecture, both static and dynamic. Not surprisingly, therefore, syntactic concerns account for a tiny fraction of the code needed to implement ARIA as it stands. Furthermore, and again not surprisingly, as it's what sound software engineering practice requires, the details of the concrete syntax are isolated, and the vast bulk of the code I looked at refers to it only indirectly. The consequence of all this is that the changes necessary to manage any change away from the dash approach will be very straightforward. For more details, see the discussion of experiment 3 in my testing report.
Many existing XML languages make explicit, generic, provision for extensibility by including in their formal schemas and/or spec. prose allowance for any namespace-qualified elements and attributes from namespaces other than those which make up the language itself. Tools such as NVDL and, to a lesser extent, W3C XML Schema and RelaxNG, make it possible to combine the schemas for multiple XML languages to give a complete characterisation of mixed-language documents.
One particularly important example of this approach is SVG. ARIA integration into SVG is clean and straightforward under the colon or mixed approaches, but will require amending the spec. under the dash approach.
In trying to weigh the tradeoffs which must of necessity be considered when confronted by the information given above, the matter of timescale is particular hard to address. Any assertion about how things will look five, or even two, years hence can always be countered with a contrary assertion. None-the-less, the centrality of the HTML languages for the Web, and the fundamental importance of accessibility for all of us, suggest that we must take the long-term impact of this decision seriously, and be prepared to discount some short-term discomfort in return for long-term stability and simplicity.


Ten persons are sitting in two parallel rows containing five people in each row and the persons in one row facing the persons in another row. In row-1, P, Q, R, S and T are sitting and all of them are facing south while in row-2, A, B, C, D and E are sitting and all of them are facing north. The ages of the persons sitting in row-1 is multiple of 7 and the ages of the persons in row-2 is multiple of 9. The ages of the persons sitting in both rows are more than 10 and less than 70 years. The ages of the persons in each rows are in ascending order from left to right.
The difference between the ages of T and A is 11 years. The one whose age is multiple of 5 faces the person who sits second to the right of C and either the one whose age is multiple of 5 or C sits at extreme ends of the line. Only two persons are sitting between P and the one whose age is perfect square of a number. R faces the person who sits second to the left of B. The difference between the ages of E and S is one year. E does not face S. None of the two persons' ages will be same. R is 35 years elder than P. Neither R nor B is the eldest persons in the each row.

PURPOSE: In recent years, there has been an increase in funds and services available to address the needs of commercially sexually exploited children (CSEC). While previous studies have explored the mental, behavioral, and physical needs of CSEC victims and survivors, few studies have focused on the service needs CSEC victims and survivors themselves deem most important. The current study seeks to bridge this gap by garnering American CSEC victims' and survivors' perspectives regarding CSEC service strengths, weaknesses, and gaps.
METHOD: Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with 13 adult survivors of CSEC to examine their perceptions of current CSEC services in the United States. All interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and imported into a qualitative data analysis program. Using an inductive approach, two major themes emerged: short-term needs and long-term needs.
RESULTS: Short-term needs included victim identification, housing, and emergency medical care. Long-term needs included life-skills, community building, legal assistance, and medical care. The results point to the complex needs of CSEC victims/survivors.
DISCUSSION: While CSEC services continue to develop, there remain many gaps in care in the services available. Study findings provide valuable insight to practitioners and researchers alike and identify the most critical needs of CSEC victims and survivors. Implications for practice and research are discussed.


On behalf of Hornsby Watts, PLLC posted in wrongful death on Friday, October 27, 2017.
States like Mississippi, Texas, Arizona and more all have one thing in common: scorching hot summers.
Climate change has made the summers even longer and hotter -- and while the news warns elderly people to get inside with air conditioning and churches open their doors to the homeless to get them out of the heat before they suffer strokes, there's an underclass of citizens that are left to literally cook inside concrete walls: the prisoners in local and state jails.
Perhaps it will shock no one that there are no figures that reveal just how many prisoners die or suffer irreversible medical damage from the sweltering summer heat.
However, there are stories every year that come out telling of prisoners flooding their own cells to try to cool down or dying because the medications they're on won't let them sweat while temperatures in the older prisons -- built before air conditioning was even a thing -- climb into the triple digits every day.
Keep in mind that these prisoners who are suffering aren't just the convicted -- many are people simply too poor to afford bail while awaiting their trial. Others are people jailed for minor offenses like drunk and disorderly conduct -- certainly nothing they deserve to die a sweltering, miserable death over.
Also affected are pregnant prisoners who are carrying children that are innocent of any wrongdoing. And there also exists a growing body of mentally ill prisoners -- people who get into trouble because they can't control their mental illness and there's nowhere to put them except jail. There are also a large number of geriatric prisoners -- men and women of advanced age who are particularly susceptible to the effects of heat.
Staff members are also suffering the debilitating effects of the heat inside these prisons and developing medical problems as well.
Many of these prisons were built when heat waves were rare, but experts in weather and climate change say it is only going to get worse. If someone closely related to you dies due to excessive heat exposure that didn't take into account the deceased's overall health, age, medications or other relevant factors, it is important to pursue a potential wrongful death claim against the prison. It may take several lawsuits before officials finally decide to make enough changes.

Karl Winter (* 19. August 1894 in Eipel (Úpice); † 19. Oktober 1969) war ein deutsch-böhmischer Architekt und Hochschullehrer, der in Prag und Reichenberg / Liberec wirkte.

Karl Winter studierte Architektur an der Deutschen Technischen Hochschule Prag bei Arthur Payr und lebte bis 1927 in Prag. Ab 1927 lehrte er als Professor an der Staatsgewerbeschule Reichenberg (spätere Střední průmyslová škola stavební Liberec). Von 1938 bis 1939 war er Direktor der Gewerbeschule Bodenbach (jetzt Děčín). Diese Stelle musste er wegen seiner tschechischen Ehefrau aufgeben. Danach setzte er seine Lehrtätigkeit in Breslau fort. Am Ende des  Zweiten Weltkriegs kehrte er nach Liberec zurück. Vermutlich wurde er wegen seiner tschechischen Ehefrau nach 1945 nicht ausgewiesen.

Er war dann zunächst als Mitarbeiter der Liberecer Filiale des verstaatlichten Bauunternehmens Pittel+Brausewetter tätig. Später arbeitete er als Leiter des Stavoprojekt-Architekturbüros in Liberec. Von 1956 bis 1958 lehrte er wieder an der Höheren Industrieschule für Bauingenieurwesen in Liberec (Střední průmyslová škola stavební) und arbeitete im Konstruktionsbüro des Bauunternehmens Stavokombinat Liberec. Im Jahr 2019 wurde in der Eingangshalle des Rathauses in Jablonec nad Nisou eine Gedenktafel für Karl Winter angebracht, geschaffen vom Bildhauer Jiří Dostál (* 1945). Auf dieser Tafel wird als Sterbejahr "1969" angegeben.

Are you looking to improve your travel photography? I've spent the last 9 years shooting photos in unique areas around the world, and these are my favorite travel photography tips for novices.
Some individuals collect keepsakes when they take a trip, I prefer to collect gorgeous images with my electronic camera. Travel photography resembles a time device, freezing memories from a journey that you can look back on and take pleasure in for years.
Every travel location has its own look, culture, history, individuals, feelings, landscapes, and stories. Learning how to capture these subjects through photos assists communicate the spirit of a place to others, giving them a peek of what it might be like to venture there.
I never went to school for photography. And yet here I am now, making my living as an expert travel blog writer & professional photographer who regularly certifies images to tourism boards, brand names, and periodically glossy magazines.
I have actually gradually found out the techniques of travel photography over years of reading books, watching online tutorials, and routine practice to improve my craft. You can learn in this manner too– if you put in the effort!
Here are my favorite beginner travel photography tips to assist improve your images.
Well, it's also extremely real for travel photography. Light is the most essential active ingredient for terrific photography– and soft, warm, morning light develops fantastic images.
Getting up early also means you'll need to deal with less tourists and other professional photographers. Want an impressive postcard shot of a famous landmark like the ruins of Chichen Itza or the Taj Mahal? Simply get there early right when it opens and you'll basically have the place to yourself!
Daybreak isn't the only time to catch excellent light. "Blue hour", is the hour after sundown (or prior to daybreak) when the sky is still blue, however city lights are turned on.
In contrast, shooting photos at twelve noon on an intense sunny day is most likely the absolute worst time for travel photography! Often I'll simply take a nap during the middle of the day so I have more energy for early morning and night photography missions when the light is best.
Read travel guidebooks about your destination. Search the internet for articles and article to help offer you ideas for photos. Speak to good friends who have actually existed. Reach out to other photographers. Become more well-informed about which images will catch the essence of a location.
Some of my favorite tools for travel photography research study are Instagram and Google Image Search. I utilize them to learn where iconic locations are. Actual postcard racks are likewise a fantastic tool for helping to develop a "shot list".
As soon as I know the names of possible photo areas, I'll do more research. Which time of day has the finest light?
Wandering around with no plans has its place, but being well prepared with research beforehand conserves time so you can totally dedicate to producing fantastic travel photography as soon as you're there, and maximize your time.
Photographing local individuals in a foreign nation is tough for lots of photographers. What if they do not understand you? What if they state no? Will they get angered? It took me a couple years to get comfy shooting portraits of residents, and even now I still get a bit worried.
I have actually found out the key is to talk to individuals. Say hey there. Request for instructions. Purchase a souvenir. Match them on something. Chat for a few minutes PRIOR TO asking for a photo. It's far less intrusive this way.
Constantly ask consent for close-ups too. Invest 15 minutes finding out how to state "can I make a picture" or "can I take your portrait" in the local language before you get here. People truly value the effort, and it's a great way to make a new buddy.
Thank them for their time, smile, and move on to somebody else and try once again. Actually the more you get rejected, the easier it gets to ask!
One of one of the most classic and basic of photography tips, understanding the Rule of Thirds will help you produce more well balanced compositions. Picture breaking an image down into thirds horizontally and vertically, so it's divided into various sections.
The objective is to position fundamental parts of the photo into those sections and assist frame the overall image in such a way that's pleasing to the eye.
For example, positioning an individual along the left grid line rather than directly in the center. Or keeping your horizon on the bottom third, rather than splitting the image in half. Remember to keep that horizon straight too!
Making up utilizing the Guideline of Thirds is quickly done by turning on your camera's "grid" feature, which shows a guideline of thirds grid straight on your LCD screen particularly for this function.
Now, prior to you make up a travel photo, you should be asking yourself: What are the bottom lines of interest in this shot? Where should I purposefully put them on the grid? Taking notice of these information will improve the appearance of your images.
I believe more people ought to be utilizing light-weight travel tripods. A tripod enables you to set your camera position and keep it there. With the electronic camera fixed, you can then take your time setting up the ideal composition.
You can also change direct exposure settings, focus points, and truly hang out taking note of the image you wish to create. Or use sophisticated strategies like HDR, focus stacking, and panoramas.
Tripods provide you the ability to shoot much slower shutter speeds (waterfalls, low-light, stars, etc) without stressing over hand-held video camera shake. You can keep your ISO low (for less sensor noise) and use smaller apertures, so more of the image remains in focus.
When using a tripod, you'll have higher innovative control over your video camera's manual settings. This doesn't indicate you need to carry a tripod around with you absolutely all over. I don't.
For tack sharp landscapes, low-light photography, self-portraits, streaming water shots, and sunsets/sunrises, a travel tripod makes a huge difference.

A boring blog is what we have to deal with most of the times when we go through internet. One should therefore always keep an eye on the strategies by which blogging can be made real fun and not at all boring.
Also try to avoid adding boring content on your blog your visitors finding which can turn away from your blog for always. This may cause a steep drop down in your site traffic which you would never love to happen.
Therefore, you really need to focus on your readers when creating new posts for your blog. If you find humor in your activities or if you tell them the things in an interesting manner by adding some spice to it, you might keep their attention for a much longer time even while using the same day to day activities.
The difficult thing that comes across is that what is boring to one person might be an interesting to another. But any how if you want to spice up your boring blog, you can use these 5 Perfect tips to avoid boring blogging to get things moving in the right direction. You can definitely attain lots of visitors to your blog sooner in this way.
Firstly regarding your article writing skills, you should always act as if you were talking to a great friend. Some people create boring blogs by writing as if they were writing a boring textbook. This will not work out for a longer period and will flop out like a boring movie. This is a huge mistake.
People most often read blogs because they want to be entertained or gather interesting information or opinions or want to attain some knowledge about a particular product or service. They do not want to read a blog that sounds like a boring textbook. Try to be a little personal in your blog and create a friendly atmosphere throughout your blog. Let your own personality shine through. Your readers will appreciate your honesty and love you for your casual style.
Secondly you should take care that keeping your size of the blog post short will help you entertain your visitors most. Most of the people look for the quick answers to their queries while surfing through blogs and sites. And if you can help them you are the winner.
Do not over lengthen your posts and try to complete the post in few words. Your visitors would be thankful for you and can help you go successful in long run.
Most of the people kill their blogs by adding too many advertisements on their pages. The ads dominate the contents and the visitors will never look back to such blogs in future.
Blog readers can get annoyed by seeing heavy advertisements on blogs. It is therefore recommended that ads should be placed wisely so that your visitors do not get disturbed by it and can enjoy the interesting stuff you want to share, easily.
Another great way to attract your readers and new visitors is to let them participate in open-ended questions. You can do this at the end if you don't want it in the middle. Your questions will get them thinking about what you have to say, whether or not they answer at that time but they think over it and can help them to return back in the future.
They are more likely to come back to your blog when they want to read the comments and want to answer the questions. Everyone has an opinion on everything, so go ahead and ask your readers straight out what you want them to answer.
One big mistake boring Bloggers always make is to not allow comments on their blog. One should always allow people to comment on their blog which will make it interesting for the other visitors when they read it and in return give their comments also. Your blog seems to be more interesting to anyone who reads it when there are more comments following.
I hope that this all will help get things going in the right directions in which you want, and helps you to go blogging for money for which you are actually aiming at.


The Voices in your head, are they real?
The idea of hearing music playing late at night when there is no obvious source for the audio or hearing several voices having a conversation out of nowhere when you are the only one at home is actually more common than you may think. In the past, this rarely discussed topic was considered taboo, crazy, or had only been experienced by the "mentally ill". Not anymore! Some of the most celebrated thinkers, inventors, visual artists, actors, entertainers and classical composers in the world have experienced the same phenomena. As technology continues to evolve, more and more of the general public is questioning what they might be hearing and they are demanding answers. Keep in mind that I am not referring to that "catchy song" you heard the other day that keeps playing over and over in your head, or the disturbing insult that your boss hailed at you last week . We will break this article down for you in hopes that it will help you to identify which category you fit into, if any.
*Note: The Truth Denied found it more than coincidental that when we did a Google search for Electronic Harassment, we came up with over 22,400,000 pages in our results. As a comparison, we did a Google Search on Ghandi, and it returned About 36,600,000. Electronic Harassment appears to be a growing global concern.
The last case, a 78-year-old, was profoundly deaf, had Alzheimer's disease and lived in a care home. He heard hymns and songs that were popular in the 1940s and 50s. Although he had cognitive impairments associated with dementia, he had no other psychotic symptoms besides hearing music that wasn't there.
Ramon Mocellin and his colleagues explained that people with musical hallucinosis generally realize that their auditory experiences are a trick of the mind, thus distinguishing their symptoms from the hallucinations experienced by people with psychosis, who generally believe their unusual perceptions are real.
Link to article on musical hallucinosis published in The Sunday Telegraph in 2004.
According to HUB PAGES, psychic hearers are representative of a cross-section of society. They tend to encompass diverse demographic, religious, political, and educational backgrounds. These individuals are typically engaging, function at peak capacity, and are employed in a variety of professions. The most common audio cases include voices of the angles, choirs, a single voice that warns of eminent danger to come, precognitive, a dream, relatives that have crossed over, clairvoyance, and other such phenomenons.
"One of France's esteemed warriors and Roman Catholic saints, Saint Joan of Arc commenced hearing voices at thirteen years old; and claimed to perceive the sound of St Michael, St. Catherine, and St. Margaret's voices." The oracles of ancient Greece were known to experience auditory hallucinations while breathing in certain neurologically active vapors, while the more pervasive delusions and symptomology were often viewed as possession by demonic forces as punishment for misdeeds. IN the modern age, those such as the British actor, Anthony Hopkins, acknowledged "hearing a nasty voice that attempted to undermine his self-confidence while growing-up and acting talent in adulthood during an interview." The founder of Agape, Dr. Michael Beckwith, and others just like him affirm hearing the voices of spiritual guides. The International Community for Hearing Voice (Intervoice) is a worldwide advocacy organization for people who hear voices based in the United Kingdom. Their website ishttp://www.intervoiceonline.org/.
Auditory hallucinations have been known to manifest as a result of intense stress, sleep deprivation, drug use, and errors in development of proper psychological processes. Other causes would include high caffeine as the study conducted by the La Trobe University School of Psychory logical Sciences revealed that as few as five cups of coffee a day could trigger the phenomenon.
A very low frequency, low voltage electromagnetic signal similar in form to normal brain waves could cause the brain to interpret the signal as an acoustic "sound" received through the ears. One example is Tinnitus that can have similar effects. In Tinnitus a sound or sounds are "heard" without there being an external, acoustic source for the sound. In tinnitus the brain is interpreting an internally generated electromagnetic signal as an acoustic sound or sounds. Causes of Tinnitus range from an ear infection, hearing loss, stress, or a hereditary disorder causing progressive deafness due to overgrowth of bone in the inner ear known as Otosclerosis. The sound of tinnitus may be constant or it may come and go intermittently.It may be throbbing.It may occur in one ear or in both ears.Most often, the sound is a high pitched continuous tone, but it may also be described by the patient as a click, buzz, or a hum. Again, Tinnitus is often associated with hearing loss and the patient may complain of decreased hearing, even if the tinnitus is absent.
Humming, roaring, hissing, rushing, zapping, and buzzing noises are frequent in conjunction with sleep paralysis (SP). This happens when the REM atonia sets in sooner than usual, before the person is fully asleep, or persists longer than usual, after the person has (in other respects) fully awoken. Sleep paralysis is reportedly very frequent among narcoleptics. It occurs frequently in about 6% of the rest of the population, and occurs occasionally in 60%. In surveys from Canada, China, England, Japan and Nigeria, 20 to 60% of individuals reported having experienced SP at least once in their lifetime. The paralysis itself is frequently accompanied by additional phenomena. Typical examples include a feeling of being crushed or suffocated, electric "tingles" or "vibrations", imagined speech and other noises, the imagined presence of a visible or invisible entity, and sometimes intense emotion of fear, euphoria and sometimes orgasmic feelings. SP has been proposed as an explanation for at least some alien abduction experiences and shadow people hauntings.
Very little is known about electronic Harassment. The following is an introduction for those of you who may feel you fit into this category. It is quite extensive, though please be aware of the following content. It is meant to be informative rather than fear mongering.Electronic Harassment comes in many forms and types.
Other websites report such stress related to something TI's (Targeted individuals ) claim as V2K which is a voice to skull device. TI's claim present the technology as a weapon use for transmitting voices with low or high frequencies. Voices can also be used for commands or harassments attacks that may look or sound like the TI's own personal voice. V2K can also be programmed to induce or manipulate dreams or to deprived TI sleeps.
"Implants are without a doubt the most invasive form of harassment. Electronic implants consist of transmitters, ESF generators, micro-neurophonic transceivers, tracking devices and other micro sized devices designed to cause harassment by tracking or controlling movement and thought. The most common implant was designed many years ago and is still used to this day. It consists of a unit that is powered by bodily fluids and is capable of transmitting voice signals, high voltage pulses, emitting a small tracking beacon signal, or other unspecified uses (mind control).
For more on Electronic Harassment, see Eavesdropping Threats for covert hidden camera pictures with additional information, and Electronic Surveillance page.
If you feel you are being harassed we have found a number of websites that claim to be aware of the problem and are offering services to the general public.
If you being exposed to chemtrails, wifi, smartmeter,etc without protecting your self, you will sooner or later come to the step where you can here whisper or something even when you know it is not happening.
It is real, medic know about this. Psychic have different explanation.
Basically, when your body health deteriorate, you will start to hear things. Some say it is medical, some say it is magical.
Whatever it is, it is not good. So, keep yourself healthy.
Who will remove a V2k implant from a left upper molar? The dentist that placed it won't claim it!
pat here. my neighbors are using receivers to bounce, vibrate, rock my Mobilehome. Several people say the same thing. They also have eavesdropping line along the roadway. This is a Mobilehome park. These are kids of 28yrs old and some in their 30's. High frequency electromagnetics is used also. when he leaves and turns it off i hear, but if he's home its on and cannot hear. Does this plug in really work to stop or jam all of this? cannot find bugs.
I have heard "guitar playing" since I was 13, AND I have Tinnitus – totally different than the guitar. I have noticed that sometimes online when I am posting my thoughts become garbled, but I have no evidence of "interference" but it is possible someone doesn't want me to write sensible posts.
They're actually using the telephones. I switch my phone off every night and its makes a huge difference. And switching chorded phones off at night is easier than chordless phones. How it works is the early prototype microwave ovens used shortwave radio of 60 MHz and this is the frequency they use in the telephones. With this system they can not only harass specific targeted individuals but they can also attempt to influence whole sectors of society at any one time for political ends and the whole thing is probably AI controlled. It looks like George Orwell got it right in his 1984 only it's not the Telescreens, it's the telephones.

Book Review: Tin Man by Sarah Winman
It begins with a painting won in a raffle: fifteen sunflowers, hung on the wall by a woman who believes that men and boys are capable of beautiful things.
I expected love, jealousy and nostalgia from Tin Man. And I found all those things, yet not in the guise I'd imagined. The novel is short, less than 200 pages, but Winman manages to encapsulate entire minds and lives within this compact story.
It's told from two perspectives – that of 46-year-old Ellis, who's dissatisfied with his working-class existence after losing his wife Annie in a car accident and from Michael, his closest friend, whose wistful recollections are detailed in a journal that Ellis discovers. Both are historical in the sense that the 'present' takes place in 1996 – an unusual choice, but poignant for a reason that becomes apparent later in the book.
With the promise of a love triangle, I anticipated drama, but the novel steers away from high action and veers towards contemplation; the pleasure of living life to the full and savouring the moment. The relationships are complex and sexuality fluid. There is jealousy, but there is also kindness, respect and mutual affection. Love binds the characters together throughout the decades, beyond death itself – finally bringing redemption.
It's impossible to share this review without praising Winman's skill as a writer. Her words are brilliantly concise, and her subtle handling of emotion brought tears to my eyes more than once. The patterning was deft too with clear motifs that steer the reader to key themes – sunflowers, Walt Whitman's line O Captain! My Captain! (also used to moving effect in Dead Poets Society) and panel beating (the tin man). The structure is intricate with many flashbacks but it holds together convincingly, giving a rounded feel to the novel.
Tin Man isn't for those who seek plot, but if you are searching for a bittersweet reflection on life and love, then this novel is pretty perfect. As a new Winman convert, I'm looking forward to reading her other books and will relish my summer days even more after following Ellis and Michael's journeys.

GETTING READY: People planning for "Worst Case Scenarios"
Matt Galka's Reports
What would you do if a disaster struck the valley? Are you prepared? Do you have a plan? Where would you go?
Those questions are racing through the minds of people, now more than ever. With tensions rising in the world, and nature's fury seemingly unstoppable the past couple of months, people are asking themselves "Am I prepared for the worst case scenario?"
If you are one of those people, you're not alone.
"We have extra food in the house, extra water, we have a bag ready to go if we need to be evacuated," said Enildo Leiva. He and Jane Leiva started prepping, after living in Florida. They weren't prepared for hurricanes, and figured they needed to change that when they came to Arizona.
It ended up paying off when a different kind of disaster struck them
"He lost his job, and we ended up living on that, and that's when a big light bulb went off," said Jane. "It's not just for disasters, it's for everyday situations."
The two turned their passion for prepping into a business by running "Preparing Wisely" in Mesa. They are walking away from the job part, but are keeping the lifestyle.
Those looking for something a little more heavy-duty could look into a storage container turned into bomb shelter.
"This is two containers put together," said AZ Containers owner Michael Stackpoole. He is used to turning containers into spare rooms or sheds.
"Basically they're like Legos," said Stackpoole. "Whatever you can come up with, we can cut 'em, we can weld 'em, we can put windows in."
Recently, however, people have been requesting the boxes to be turned into their "worst case scenario" shelters.
"For numerous clients up north and in the local area, we've build them and buried them," said Stackpoole.
Starting at about $2,000, the sky is the limit for "Doomsday Preppers" who want to trick out a potential underground container bunker.
"Actually in the last year, we've done more kinds of off-grid housing stuff than we've ever done before," said Stackpoole.
Ron Johnson, owner of Allied Surplus, said he has definitely seen an uptick of business recently.
"I think with the devastation going around in the world in Florida, Texas, people are being more aware of being self-reliant, and preparing for themselves for last-minute ditch from their home, or wherever they're at," said Johnson.
If you're not ready for the lifestyle change, however, the tricked-out bunker, or the survivalist room, experts said to at least maintain a "Bug-out bag", something to get you through at least a challenging three days

La ville de Pittsfield est le siège du comté de Berkshire, situé dans le Commonwealth du Massachusetts, aux États-Unis. Sa population s'élevait à  lors du recensement , estimée à  .

Histoire
Jusqu'à l'aube du , le site de Pittsfield et sa région étaient habités par les Mohicans, mais les guerres coloniales et les épidémies avaient gravement affecté les tribus, dont une bonne partie entama une migration vers l'ouest. En 1738, un investisseur de Boston, le colonel Jacob Wendell fit l'acquisition de  de terrain au lieu-dit Pontoosuck (toponyme algonquin signifiant « Refuge-aux-rennes ») pour un projet de lotissement. Il s'associa avec Philip Livingston, un rentier d'Albany (New York) et le colonel John Stoddard de Northampton, prêt à y défricher . Des bûcherons vinrent éclaircir l'endroit en 1743, mais ils ne purent mener à bien leur tâche, menacés par les incursions indiennes déclenchées par la guerre du roi George.

Le premier village (Pontoosuck Plantation) ne vit donc le jour qu'avec l'arrivée, quelques années plus tard, de colons de Westfield (Massachusetts). L'un des premiers colons, Solomon Deming, mourut en 1815 à l'âge de 96 ans.

Pittsfield fut proclamée commune en 1761. Le gouverneur britannique Francis Bernard la baptisa « Pittsfield » en hommage au Premier ministre britannique William Pitt l'Ancien. Dès 1761, elle comptait déjà 200 habitants, et à la fin de la Guerre d'indépendance, près de  habitants, dont le colonel John Brown. Cet officier indépendantiste dénonça Benedict Arnold dès 1776 comme agent double de la Couronne britannique : dans un placard rédigé au cours de l'hiver 1776-77, Brown écrit : .

Pittsfield ne fut longtemps qu'un domaine agricole en raison des multiples crues des affluents du fleuve Housatonic; le pays était couvert de moulins à aubes équipant scieries, minoteries, papeteries et filatures. L'arrivée de la laine de merinos d'Espagne à partir de 1807, fit de la ville le foyer de l'industrie de la laine pour les Treize Etats, position qu'elle conserva tout le siècle.

Ce fut une métropole florissante jusqu'à la fin du . En 1891, Pittsfield reçut le statut de city et elle bénéficia de l'un des premiers transformateurs électriques de l'Union grâce à l'arrivée de l'Electric Manufacturing Company de William Stanley Jr., noyau de ce qui allait devenir General Electric. En 1930, la population de Pittsfield dépassait les  habitants. Aujourd'hui, GE Advanced Materials (aujourd'hui filiale de SABIC-Innovative Plastics) n'emploie plus que 700 salariés, par suite de la relocalisation des activités électriques et aérospatiales du groupe. Le 8 octobre 2015, SABIC a annoncé le transfert du siège social de Pittsfield à Houston.

Démographie

Selon l', pour la période 2011-2015, 91 % de la population âgée de plus de  déclare parler anglais à la maison, alors que 3,81 % déclare parler l'espagnol, 0,7 % le russe, 0,67 % le portugais, 0,51 % l'italien et 3,31 % une autre langue.
