More than monumental: The true heart of the wild, wild west
November 2019 · 4 min read
This band does not play "Mathilda" and this band don't have a real stage. The five man who called themselves "The Wonders" - see them play here - don't need boards and planks and spots and headlights. They're stage is a hill right before what books called "the 8. Wonder of the World": "Monument Valley", endless landscape in the Navajo Nation, is the place where most of people around the world have taken their picture of the wild west.
Here rode John Wayne through "Fort Apache", "Rio Grande" and "The Searchers", Henry Fonda was Wyatt Earp in "My Darling Clementine" and Billy (Dennis Hopper) and Wyatt (Peter Fonda) thundered on their motorcycles through "Easy Rider".
The Navajo say "God put the West here" and it is true. If you have to find one place where all the myths, the legends and the history fall in one form for everything, it's here in the valley that the Navajo call "Tsé Bii' Ndzisgaii" – no, no, don't try to spell it right, it's impossible. It simply means "Valley oft he rocks".
Monument Valley, part of the Colorado Plateau sits 5,564 feet above sea level and it is a part of the Grand Circle too, which includes the national parks of Arches, Bryce, Canyonlands and Capitol Reef. But itself isn't a National Park, because it i spart of the Navajo Nation, the largest land area retained by an Indian tribe in the United States. For your papers: It's the size oft he german state Bavaria and double the size of Denmark or Belgium. With a population of roughly 350,000 people.
So much land here, so few people. So many tourists! The Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, founded in juli by the Navajo Tribal Council, has a half million visitors a year and they all have to pay $10 per person or $20 per vehicle to ride along the scenic drive on a gravel road. You don't need a SUV to do this, high-clearance vehicles are recommended to navigate the dirt red road because of very rough surfaces and a steep incline. If you have rent a Tesla or some other nice sports car, you can make the tour by smal Jeep-busses with tribal drivers who tell you something about all the myths of the place, the legends and the geology.
A special recommendation for all of you with a camera: If you're planning to make some real "magic" pictures, you have to travel the park during the "golden hour" which means sunrise or sunset, not during daytime or noon. Otherwise you will miss on your photos of the park's monuments, needles and spires the real glory oft he American West.
The 17-mile dirt road through Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park is the best way to see all the iconic formations. It takes two to four hours to make the roundtrip, and you have leave your car eleven times on viewpoints at the East and West Mitten Buttes and Merrick Butte, Three Sisters, John Ford's Point, Camel Butte, the Hub, Totem Pole, Yei B Chai, Sand Spring, Artist's Point, North Window, and the Thumb. Nearly all the time you see Rain God Mesa, the geological heart of the park and a holy place for the Navajo.
After your visit you have to drive a long way back to civilisation, because Navajo Nation has a lack of motels, hotels and camping sites. The nearest town is Kayenta, about 20 mi (32 km) to the south, the next "city" is Tuba City, a place the band Blackberry Smoke maybe means with his incredible song "One horse town".
And special surprise: Nowhere in Navajoland you can buy any kind of spirit, no whiskey, no vodka, no vine and no beer. Capt. John G. Walker, 1849 one oft he first explorers of the valley, was right as he wrote "the valley was as desolate and repulsive-looking a country as can be imagined" in his expedition report to the United States Senate. So take a six pack with you and enjoy it after the 17-mile loop road-drive along all the lookout points, sandstone formations with fanciful names like Mittens, Elephant Butte, Totem Pole, and North Window and a short step into the visitor center of the Tribal Park.
Oljato, located nine miles west of Monument Valley on County Road 2406, is only a small Navajo outpost with a traditional Navajo trading post at its center. The best of it are the majestic landscapes around, at last as the panorama for movie "Forrest Gump". John Wayne does not ride here anymore. But his spirit is in every stone, in every grain of sand, and every little grass half that breaks through the red rubble along the road.

Richard Stallman's article on the difference between patents and copyright for software users and developers appears in the Guardian.
In Patent Absurdity, Stallman discusses the impact of software patents by using literary patents as an example. Next month, the European Parliament will vote on the issue of whether to allow patents covering software, so now is an especially important time to share information about their dangers.
Patent Absurdity is also the name of a short film, by Luca Lucarini made with the assistance of a grant from the FSF.


Hi! I'm HarryNerdBird and i've been making song cover videos on YouTube for just under a year now, what i'd love to do now is a cover of City Of Stars from the movie "La La Land" and i need a budding female to help me make this a reality!
I'm looking for a nice soft voice that builds up throughout the song, but mess around and try to put your own stamp onto it as well!


I have been a firm fan of Inglot ever since I tried out their amazing lipsticks in the freedom palette range a few years back, and since then thay have gotten so popular and I'm not at all surprised why! Their products are so reasonably priced and such good quality. Definitely bang for your buck! I finally went out and got my hands on the fabled Duraline - I've heard nothing but good things about it so I took the plunge and I have to say I agree. It. Is. Amazing. I love a good winged liner and with this I never have to worry about running out of colour options! I've been mixing it with a lot of colours from the Gwen Stefani x Urban Decay palette and I especially loved this shade - Danger - with it. (By the way this is 100% not my best flick but hey we all have our off days.)The colour pay off is INSANE and the staying power is unreal. I can't wait to try this out with some of the super colourful pigments I have back home in Ireland!


Way Out Warner is the pre-party of the Way Out West festival. 2018´s edition was hosted by Hoss agency. They wanted a movie that delivered a feeling of 70s fashion and luxury, combined with dirty clean fun. This solved by using Miriam Bryant and Andrea Hegard as main characters.
Our job was to Film, Edit and color grade the whole project.

Building and maintaining Texas' transportation infrastructure are costly endeavors. Research conducted by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute's (TTI's) Infrastructure Investment Analysis Program (IIAP) helps inform policy makers how best to mitigate those costs and provide the greatest return to Texas taxpayers.
As part of one of the largest port systems in the United States, Texas ports play a vital role in the state's total economic activity.
As part of one of the largest port systems in the United States, Texas ports play a vital role in the state's total economic activity. For example, Port Freeport, which handled over 19.7 million short tons of cargo in 2013, generates significant dollars for Texas. To better understand the port's contribution, TTI researchers examined its major stakeholders, key economic impacts and state funding for Texas ports, as well as the port's history, defining characteristics and current development.
"We created an economic impact study of the port by looking at outputs such as jobs created, indirect income as a result of job creation, economic activity and tax revenue," says TTI Assistant Transportation Researcher Brett Huntsman.
These data were used in a model to determine the economic impacts of the port's operation. Researchers presented the results of the analysis to Port Freeport's Board of Commissioners.
DART is the largest light-rail system in the southern United States by ridership.
Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is the largest light-rail system in the southern United States by ridership. The sprawling system includes 90 miles of infrastructure that serves 62 stations in Dallas and 12 surrounding cities that pay for the service using a 1 percent sales tax revenue.
TTI researchers developed a web-based model for DART that provides macro-level estimates of the potential economic impacts and benefits associated with opening new DART stations to increase the service agency's area. These impacts include the additional property tax revenues, sales tax revenues, employment and economic activity associated with the development of each new station.
With so many highways to maintain and limited funding, project prioritization is of major importance to the Texas Department of Transportation.
Given so many highways to maintain with limited funding, project prioritization is of major importance to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). TTI Assistant Research Scientist Brianne Glover recently led a cost/benefit analysis project on roadway segments. Her team's goal was to provide TxDOT with information to help the agency prioritize certain projects based on each one's potential return on investment.
The team also researched the economic impact of expediting projects in rural areas. Researchers conducted two case studies involving the development of mobility projects in rapidly growing small urban areas in Texas. The first case study reports on the expansion of a parkway that connects a fast-growing industrial park with important north-south routes around Odessa, Texas. This project was selected in part because of its importance to the region's oil and gas sectors.
TTI researchers have investigated the efficacy of using seawater desalination combined with a pipeline network to distribute water.
Though drilling in the Eagle Ford Shale region has slowed recently, the practice of hydraulic fracturing (i.e., fracking) still results in increased levels of truck traffic. Shale-related energy production causes an estimated $2 billion annually in damage to Texas roads, with $1.3 billion of that occurring on roads in the Eagle Ford Shale region alone. This damage is primarily caused by trucks hauling water necessary for the drilling and fracking process.

The Awards are open to students and staff in the non-government education sector in Queensland and the Northern Territory.
There are categories for students from Kindergarten to Year 12 in addition to a dedicated category for staff.
Students who identify as First Nations can also enter their work in the First Nations category.
Entrants can submit painting, drawing, collage, sculpture or photographic works.
There will be a change to the process of submitting entries this year, with the submission of an online entry form required prior to the artwork being sent in for judging.
Information about the Awards entry process will be provided to schools and early childhood education centres in late February.
Literary Competition
The Literary Competition remains Queensland's longest-running literary competition.
2022 will mark the 63rd year of this competition run in conjunction with the English Teacher Association of Queensland (ETAQ).
The Literary Competition is open to students and staff in state and non-government schools throughout Queensland.
Staff, along with students in Years 5 to 12 can submit their poetry, short story and non-fiction prose pieces.
In 2022, we will be moving to a fully electronic process for submitting entries.
Information about the Competition entry process will be provided to schools in late February.

Agencytwofifteen has partnered with Help Remedies to launch the first marketing campaign for Help's pain med-free sleep aid, Help I can't sleep.
Rather than focus on the unpleasantness of insomnia, the agency went straight to the end game - dreams - for the campaign idea.
The agency created a Dream Recorder app, which magically "records" dream content and relays the central dream themes to your social network, nine films revolving around recommended dreams, a Dream recommender site, and contributed to product packaging.
The dream recommendation films, which vary in length, will run in sleep-adjacent venues, like hotel on-demand channels, in flight, on late night TV and on the Union Square screens of drug chain Duane Reade.
A "sandman" will also be handing out hand drawn Help I cant sleep dream recommendations on the streets of New York. Agencytwofifteen also added dream recommendations to product packaging.

Thomas Hardy's Ales: 1992 – 1999 Vertical Tasting Notes
By guest columnist Flavia Costa
The English novelist and poet Thomas Hardy loved beer, and he regularly frequented Dorchester pubs and Eldridge Pope Brewery to seek out great beers. Years after Thomas Hardy's death, Eldridge Pope Brewery created Thomas Hardy's Ale in his honor. At first,this 1968 beer appeared to be a celebratory one-off. However, production resumed in 1974, and the beer was brewed every year until 1999, at which point the brewery ceased production. Since then, the recipe was picked up in 2003 by O'Hanlon's Brewery until 2008, and again picked up in 2014 by Interbrau. Thomas Hardy's Ale celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2018!
At the time of conception, Thomas Hardy's Ale was a BIG beer. Indeed, this 11.7% British Barleywine required significant amounts of hops and malts, a long boil, and a 9-month ageing step on sherry casks. Once released, the brewery recommended cellaring the beer for up to 25 years before opening. The cellaring process introduced complexity and produced sherry and port-like flavors that resulted in a great-tasting and highly coveted beer.
Proper beer cellaring requires no movement or agitation, no light and cool temperatures. Agitation will kick up the yeast detritus at the bottom of the bottle, adding unwanted aromas and flavors to the beer. Light will cleave hop oils, producing an unpleasant catty flavor. Warm temperatures will allow the inevitable oxidation process to go unchecked which can result in unpleasant flavors and aromas in the beer.
Oxidation happens when the oxygen and free radicals present in small quantities in the beer oxidize several compounds and molecules, altering the taste and aroma of the beer. In many beer styles, oxidation is unflattering. For example, the paper or cardboard taste resulting from oxidation of lipids and free fatty acids is especially prevalent in lighter beers. Oxidation of hop polyphenols can result in reduction of hop aroma and flavor and can be perceived as harsh or astringent. A low ABV can allow contaminating microorganisms in low quantities to take over the beer, resulting in off flavors. As such, light SRM, low ABV, and hoppy beers tend to not age well.
On the other hand, some beer styles lend themselves well to the cellaring process. For example, dark, malt-forward, high ABV beers tend to cellar well. Example styles are British Barleywines, Imperial Stouts, and Belgian Strong Dark Ales. In addition to cooler temperatures slowing down the oxidation process, the dark malts and long boils in some of these beer styles produce antioxidants, protecting the beer from excessive oxidation during the ageing process. Oxidation in these beers tends to bring out notes of dried fruits, such as figs and prunes. Barrel-aged beers will amplify the notes from the compounds leached from the oak barrel such as vanillin (vanilla). As they age, high ABV beers will mellow out in perceived booziness and increase in perceived sweetness.
This past weekend, I was very fortunate to be able to participate in a vertical tasting of Thomas Hardy's Ales from 1992 – 1999 that were cellared until 2020. Below are tasting descriptions for each beer, including comparisons between vintages where applicable.
This beer was rusted brown in color, with a chill haze that cleared as the beer warmed resulting in a dark brown, ruby color. A light and thin head formed initially but quickly dissipated. On the nose, caramel and toffee notes were followed by a light acetic note. The beer was slightly tart. Fig, date, and cherry notes shone through the sherry and rum notes. However, these sherry and rum notes became more dominant as the beer warmed. The mouthfeel was smooth with a medium body.
Slightly lighter in color compared to the 1992, the 1993 version poured with slightly more carbonation. There was more prune and sherry on the nose, and the acetic hint that was noted in the 1992 version was absent. The aroma was matched with more prune on the palate, and a light sweetness that increased in intensity as it warmed. Roasted notes and dark malt character were also more prominent in this version.
This year's beer was the darkest of the vertical tasting, a deeper cherry brown that was almost dark brown. The aroma was reminiscent of coffee intermingled with prune and fig notes. Upon tasting, moderate fig, prune, and stone fruit notes were detected. A slightly tart note also accompanied this beer, a bit more prominent than the 1992 beer. As it warmed, fig became more prominent, and there was a distinct brown sugar note.
This beer is technically right at the higher end of the recommended ageing process (25 years). This beer was on the darker end of the color spectrum, although not as dark as the 1994 version. The carbonation and head retention were low as well. A moderate presence of prune, sherry and stone fruit in the aroma turned into distinct pecan and light butterscotch (diacetyl) notes as it warmed, reminiscent of your grandmother's pecan pie. The body was sweet, and there were brown sugar and toasted notes in the aftertaste.
Lighter in color compared to previous years, this beer had less of the reddish copper tones shining through. Compared to previous years, the 1996 beer had a low aroma profile that was bright. The flavor was light, with a low molasses note. The body was also light compared to previous years and became lighter as it warmed up.
Similar to the 1996 version, this beer was also lighter in color with a low aroma profile. Low prune and caramel were more present compared to the 1996 version, with a warm alcohol note. The flavor was also subdued in this version, with a toasted note and some warmth in the aftertaste. This beer had a light-medium body.
After the low and subdued flavors from the 1996 and 1997 beers, 1999 was a surprise. This version was a deeper copper brown in color, and had rich sherry, porter, and prune notes on the nose. The taste was reminiscent of a lovely port, with sweet brown sugar notes in the aftertaste. The body was fuller in mouthfeel than in the previous two years.
In summary, all of the beers in this vertical held up remarkably well in the ageing process, and each year offered a unique combination of flavors and aromas. The evolution of those aromas and flavors as the beers warmed was remarkable and contributed to the complexity of the beer. If you see Thomas Hardy's Ales on the shelf, seemingly unnoticed next to the newest beer trends, it is well worth it to pick some up and wait patiently for the beer to reach its full potential.
This tasting was in celebration of
The Beer Wench's 50th birthday!

Abhishek Bachchan: Web series lets you move away from usual storytelling tropes
26 . Aug . 2020
Actor Abhishek Bachchan is intrigued by the psychological interplay of his dual role in his debut web series, Breathe: Into The Shadows, and says he would love to explore the character further. In the show, Abhishek's character suffers from a split personality disorder — as Dr Avinash Sabharwal, a distraught father on a lookout for his missing child, and the sinister J.
Looking back at the challenges he faced while getting into the skin of Avinash, Abhishek told: "There were several challenges we faced when we started to flesh out Avi. (Director) Mayank Sharma and I spent weeks, if not months working on all his characteristics and nuances. There was much debate and discussion. We tried our best to make him as relatable as possible. We wanted the viewers to feel that maybe they could know somebody like Avi. He was not designed as your archetypical 'Hero'."
"A web series gives you the ability and liberty to move away from the usual tropes of story-telling and characterisations we tend to use in India. But, I feel the biggest challenge was to make it believable that he was capable of doing all the things he is made to do during the show. Also, (it was a challenge) how to incorporate very faint shades of J in certain mannerisms of his," he added.
Abhishek researched a lot to get the nuances of the things associated with the disorder right.
"Thankfully, since they were two different personalities there weren't any conflicts to deal with. The director, writers and I researched the disorder as much as possible to be as accurate as we could. Apart from extensive reading up on the subject we viewed many videos of patients and also has a consultant on board," he said.
What themes would he like to explore through the character if the story was carried forward? "I would love to explore J. He intrigues me — the way he thinks, behaves and responds to situations," Abhishek replied.
"Breathe: Into The Shadows" was released on July 10 on Amazon Prime Video, with Abhishek, Nithya Menen, Amit Sadh and Saiyami Kher leading the show.

Yields rise and stocks slide after hawkish Fed minutes
CHIEF MARKET ANALYST
mhewson_CMC
European markets got off to a solid start to the new year, with the DAX hitting a new record high yesterday, helped by decent gains for automakers, while the FTSEMib moved up to its best levels since September 2008, despite weaker-than-expected services PMI data for December.
The FTSE 100 also finished the day higher, closing at its highest level since February 2020, with some decent gains for UK banks, as well as travel and leisure stocks.
The early performance of European markets so far this week has been in contrast to weakness in Asia, as well as US markets, with last night's US sell-off being exacerbated by a sharply negative reaction to what has been perceived as some very hawkish Federal Reserve minutes. These minutes sent yields sharply higher, contributing to the US 10-year yield moving above 1.7% for the first time since last October, while the Nasdaq dropped by over 3%.
Last night's weakness in US markets has seen Asia markets follow suit, and looks set to translate into a similarly negative European open this morning, as last night's Fed fallout continues to reverberate.
In recent weeks it's been notable that there has been rising disquiet among various Fed officials about the risks of rising price pressures, so much so that at the last meeting they brought forward expectations of rate hikes to three in 2022, and three in 2023. This was a surprise, however even if the Fed were to start hiking in March, if done incrementally and carefully it probably wouldn't have been unexpected, given how yields have moved recently, not only at the short end, but at the long end of the yield curve as well. Last night's minutes however have given yields an added push, with the 2-year yield pushing above 0.8%, while the 5-year yield moved through 1.4%, both back at levels last seen pre-pandemic, in February 2020.
What appears to have spooked markets is talk about balance sheet reduction, and it is this that has prompted a quite a bit of anxiety, with some on the FOMC talking about the probability of when it might be appropriate to reduce the size of the balance sheet, thus pulling liquidity out of the market. This appears to have caught markets off guard, prompting concerns over tighter liquidity conditions. While this might be a valid concern, speculation that the Fed might start doing this seems a little premature given that the Fed hasn't stopped adding to its balance sheet yet, let alone reducing it.
A number of Fed officials seemed quite keen to start discussions about how to go about reducing the size of the balance sheet after rate rises began, prompting concern that the Fed might start to go too quickly in normalising policy. This appears to have spooked investors, however talking about a policy change remains some way away from implementing it. It would be surprising if the Fed were to start reducing the size of its balance sheet so soon after ending its bond buying programme. That would suggest a degree of panic at a time when inflation pressures are starting to show some early signs of easing, if this week's prices paid numbers are any guide.
We could get some further colour on this later today with San Francisco Fed president Mary Daly, and St. Louis Fed president James Bullard, due to speak at separate events this afternoon, which could temper last night's bond market reaction, with the US 5-year yield rising over 15bps in the last three days, and up from 1.263% at the end of 2021.
Yesterday's US ADP employment report for December once again highlighted the challenges of trying to interpret the US labour market. Although the US participation rate remains well below the levels of February 2020, last week continuing claims returned to levels during that very same month, at 1.7m, and look set to fall even further today with expectations of 1.68m, and a two-year low. Weekly claims are expected to fall to 195,000. With a strong rebound in the ADP numbers of 807,000 for December, well above the 400,000 consensus, attention will once again shift to tomorrow's non-farm payrolls report, as well as today's weekly and continuing claims numbers. Most notably, yesterday's ADP report recorded a big jump in services jobs of 669,000, with a third of those in hospitality and leisure, suggesting that 2022 could see further big gains in the coming months, as markets continue to price in the prospect of a Fed rate hike as soon as March.
Other data due out today includes the latest UK services PMI numbers for December, and German CPI for December. In the most recent flash numbers, economic activity fell sharply to 53.2, from 58.5 in November. Since those flash numbers were released, economic activity across the UK, particularly in hospitality, has fallen sharply due to concerns about catching the virus just before Christmas, as consumers limited their movements. These self-imposed limitations on pre-Christmas movement and socialising habits have hammered the hospitality sector, with government's mixed messaging around a possible new lockdown not helping. As such, today's final PMI could see a miss to the downside.
In November, German CPI hit 5.2%, the highest level since reunification back in 1992, when the Bundesbank discount rate was pushed up to a peak of 8.75% in a move that ultimately saw the pound fall out of the Exchange Rate Mechanism. Today's December CPI number is expected to see remain steady at 5.1%, however given the big rises in energy prices in the past few weeks, this might be wishful thinking, and we could be set for another big rise, with the record high of 6.2%, set in May 1992, almost within touching distance. With the ECB's main headline rate currently at -0.5%, German savers are losing out to the tune of almost 6% year on year.
EUR/USD – continues to struggle below resistance at the 1.1385 area and December peaks. The bias remains towards the downside and towards the November 2021 lows at 1.1185. The main support remains at the June 2020 lows at 1.1160. A move through 1.1420 argues for a move back to the 1.1520 level.
GBP/USD – moved through the 1.3400 area in December and has managed to recover back towards the 1.3600 area where we have trend line resistance from last year's peak at 1.4250. To break the downside momentum, we need to break this trend line. Support now comes in at 1.3420 and last week's lows.
EUR/GBP – has finally broken the November lows at 0.8450 with the risk we now head towards the 0.8280 area and the lows in 2020. Resistance now comes in at the 0.8380 level and behind that at 0.8450.
USD/JPY – having broken above the 114.80 area we now look set for a move towards the December 2016 highs at 118.60. Any pullbacks need to hold above 114.80 after the New Year surge saw us move through the 116.00 area.

Націона́льний музе́й-запові́дник украї́нського гонча́рства — науково-дослідний і культурно-освітній заклад, метою якого є збереження й популяризація гончарської спадщини України

Історія

11 березня 1986 року в Опішному, за дорученням Ради Міністрів України, засновано Музей гончарства. Через три роки (03.11.1989) прийнято урядову постанову про формування на його базі Державного музею-заповідника українського гончарства — етно-мистецтвознавчого науково-дослідницького і культурно-освітнього закладу, національної гончарської скарбниці України. 2001 року Музею-заповіднику надано статус національного. З 2016 року — член Національного комітету міжнародної Ради музеїв «ІСОМ». Нині заклад постає Всеукраїнським центром дослідження, збереження й популяризації гончарської спадщини України.

Музей-заповідник володіє найбільшою в Україні колекцією творів народних майстрів-гончарів та художників-керамістів (близько 55000). У ній представлено творчі досягнення мистців усіх історико-етнографічних регіонів України, провідних національних шкіл художньої кераміки. Не мають аналогів у країні та за її межами й музейна Національна галерея монументальної та садово-паркової глиняної скульптури, Галерея символічних панно провідних художників-керамістів і гончарів України та інших країн.

Діяльність

Діяльність Музею-заповідника спрямована на збирання польових матеріалів, формування колекцій, наукове вивчення та популяризацію українського гончарства.

Нині це — багатоструктурний науково-просвітницький центр, у складі якого функціонують: Національний архів українського гончарства, Гончарська книгозбірня України, Аудіовізуальна студія українського гончарства, видавництво «Українське Народознавство», Меморіальний музей-садиба славетної гончарки Олександри Селюченко, Меморіальний музей-садиба гончарської родини Пошивайлів, Меморіальний музей-садиба Леоніда Сморжа, Музей мистецької родини Кричевських, Центр популяризації гончарської спадщини України.

В Опішному сформувався чисельний науковий колектив (12 кандидатів та 2 доктори наук), інтелектуальний потенціал якого в сфері дослідження гончарства не має рівних в Україні. Музей-заповідник підтримує творчі й наукові зв'язки з найбільшими керамічними музеями США, Франції, Великої Британії, Іспанії, Португалії, Нідерландів, Німеччини, Бельгії, Італії, Швейцарії та інших країн, Міжнародною академією кераміки в Женеві, Європейським центром світової кераміки в Гертогенбосі тощо. Він виступив ініціатором створення Міжнародної асоціації музеїв кераміки.

Національний музей-заповідник українського гончарства є організатором національних симпозіумів гончарства, інтерсимпозіумів кераміки, міжнародних гончарських фестивалів, національних конкурсів художньої кераміки, всеукраїнських і міжнародних наукових конференцій з проблематики гончарства, кераміки. 2017 року вперше в нашій державі Музей-заповідник започаткував проведення Українського БІЄНАЛЕ художньої кераміки імені Василя Кричевського — національної мистецької події в галузі художньої кераміки, яка надалі відбуватиметься що два роки в статусі міжнародного.

У 2019 році на базі Музею-заповідника у рамках ХІ Тижня Національного Гончарного Здвиження в Опішному «Здвиг-2019», пройшов Міжнародний симпозіум монументальної кераміки «ГігантоМАНІЯ». За умовами впродовж 30 днів 7 мистців (Брок Ален і Марк Чатерлі зі США, Дануте Гарлавічене з Литви, Боріс Роце з Хорватії, а також Інна Гуржій, Андрій Ільїнський  Олександр Сердюк з України) виготовили й встановили 5-метрові монументальні скульптури. Переможцем було визнано Андрія Ільїнського зі скульптурою «Гончарська капличка».

Музей гончарства в Опішному — це єдиний у світовій науковій практиці музейний заклад, у структурі якого було створено:

– загальноосвітній мистецький навчальний заклад — Колегіум мистецтв у Опішному (1997). 2004 року він набув прав юридичної особи і статусу Державної спеціалізованої художньої школи-інтернату І-ІІІ ступенів «Колегіум мистецтв у Опішному» з підпорядкуванням Міністерству культури України.

– академічну науково-дослідну установу — Інститут керамології — відділення Інституту народознавства НАН України. За короткий проміжок часу він став провідним у галузі керамології, ствердивши пріоритетні позиції України в розвитку цієї новітньої наукової дисципліни. З вересня 2002 року установа набула прав юридичної особи з підпорядкуванням Національній академії наук України.

Hans Roduin, pseudoniem van Johannes Jacobus (Ko) Rooduijn, (Utrecht, 2 mei 1915 – Fanghetto, rond 11 april 1989) was een Nederlands dichter, vertaler, galerie- en sociëteitsdirecteur en dramaturg. Hans Roduin stimuleerde en faciliteerde avant-gardistische uitingen in literatuur, beeldende kunst, muziek en theater.

Biografie

Debuut als dichter
Roduin debuteerde in 1939 als dichter in het tijdschrift Werk. In datzelfde jaar verschenen enkele van zijn gedichten in In aanbouw - Letterkundig werk van jongeren, een bloemlezing van K. Lekkerkerker. Omdat hij in 1939 weigerde in militaire dienst te gaan, werd hij enige tijd als dienstweigeraar in Veenhuizen opgesloten.

In de Tweede Wereldoorlog behoorde hij tot de groep rond het steeds in een oplage van één exemplaar gepubliceerde tijdschrift De Schone Zakdoek, waarin hij onder de naam Ko Rooduyn gedichten schreef.

In 1945 publiceerde hij clandestien bij Reinold Kuipers de bundel Maanzaad - Tien lethargische gedichten.

Boekhandelaar en galeriehouder
Naast zijn studie theologie, die hij niet afmaakte, was Roduin al in de oorlog met Jan Meulenbelt een antiquarische verzendboekhandel begonnen in Utrecht. Hij zette deze nog tijdens de oorlog onder de naam d'Eendt voort in de Spuistraat in Amsterdam. Behalve oude boeken en prenten werden in d'Eendt publicaties verkocht van opkomende avant-gardistische dichters en beeldend kunstenaars. In 1950 opende Roduin aan de overzijde van de straat galerie en sociëteit Le Canard, in een oud pakhuis. Hier vonden tot in 1957 manifestaties plaats van de experimentele en andere vernieuwende kunstenaars: tentoonstellingen, lezingen, concerten, discussies als ook theater- en filmvoorstellingen. Le Canard werd een trefpunt van de 'Beweging van Vijftig' en kreeg als bijnaam "Cobra-honk", vanwege de Cobrakunstenaars die er kwamen.

Er verschenen ook bibliofiele uitgaven met door kunstenaars vervaardigde prenten en het huis fungeerde als impresariaat voor jonge musici, literatoren en beeldend kunstenaars. In 1953 fuseerde Le Canard met de Amsterdamse Filmliga.

Na de oorlog was Roduin enige tijd redacteur van het studententijdschrift Minerva, vertaalde hij literatuur en non-fictie en verzorgde hij met Hans van Straten de postume bundel Muggen en zwanen (1955) van de dichter Max de Jong.

Dramaturg
In 1959 trad Hans Roduin, zoals hij zich intussen noemde, als dramaturg in dienst van Toneelgroep Puck, het gezelschap dat in 1961 verderging als Toneelgroep Centrum. Het gezelschap had een vernieuwend repertoire en had vaste regisseurs zoals Walter Kous en Peter Oosthoek. Er werden jonge, Engelse auteurs geïntroduceerd, onder wie Edward Bond, Christopher Hampton, Peter Nichols en Harold Pinter. Pinter gaf Centrum de exclusieve rechten van zijn werk voor Nederland, nadat Roduin de artistieke leiding van het gezelschap had kunnen overtuigen van het belang van Pinter. Enkele van Pinters stukken gingen daardoor bij het gezelschap in wereldpremière. Daarnaast werden werken van Peter Hacks, Pavel Kohout en George Tabori voor het eerst in Nederland opgevoerd. Later richtte het gezelschap zich ook op de ontwikkeling van Nederlands repertoire, wat leidde tot stukken van onder anderen J. Bernlef, Gerben Hellinga, Paul Haenen, Gerard Lemmens, Herman Lutgerink, Peter te Nuyl, Adriaan Venema en Ton Vorstenbosch (soms in samenwerking met Guus Vleugel). De afdeling dramaturgie van Toneelgroep Centrum kreeg in 1968 de Prijs van de Nederlandse Theatercritici voor haar, aldus de jury, "eigentijdse, geëngageerde visie". Een aantal stukken werd door Roduin vertaald, zoals die van Jean Anouilh, Molière, Bertolt Brecht, Jean Genet, Kohout en Pinter.

Verhuizing naar Italië
Vanaf 1965 bezocht Roduin regelmatig zijn huis in het Italiaanse bergdorp Fanghetto, een frazione van de gemeente Olivetta San Michele, waar hij een groot aantal middeleeuwse ruïnes liet restaureren. Na een hersenbloeding in 1983, die zijn spraakvermogen had aangetast, trok hij zich daar helemaal terug. In 1989 overleed Hans Roduin tijdens een bergwandeling rond 11 april. Zijn lichaam werd op 8 mei van dat jaar gevonden. Na de crematie werd zijn as begraven op het kerkhof van Fanghetto waar ook zijn vierde vrouw, de Duitse fotografe Ingeborg Spielmans, in 2007 is bijgezet.

Q: My dynamic dns behaves weird
*

*I have builded a raspberry pi ubuntu all-in-one server (ftp, apache, ssh, vnc) and used dynamic dns to be able to use it remotely. When i try to connect it from lan ip it connects successfully from my connected phone. Also when i try connect it remotely from dynamic dns with cellular data it works great. However, in other possibilities such as wifi as lan connected phone to dyndns doesnt work and i dont know why? I have checked for if ufw is setted up but it says inactive for all. Looked at router settings, it allows lan by http and https, also wan by http and https. It doesnt block that website and also connects to router login page by wifi (lan) so there is no problem about that. Using port forwarding, it seems port forwarding doesn't work for some reason on lan device. By the way the error i get is connection timed out. Maybe it is about router settings or something else i dont know... Can you explain this?

"ORGANISMO ENDÉMICO", written by Ponto Atelier.
Ponto atelier is a young and enthusiastic architecture studio founded in Lisbon in 2014. Their founders Ana Pedro Ferreira (1987 Funchal), Pedro Ribeiro (1987, Évora) and José Gustavo Freitas (1989, Funchal) developed their academic path in the University of Évora (Portugal) and the Politecnico di Milano (Italy).
Since the studio's foundation, they have been developing a series of projects and ideas, which combine theoretical and territorial analysis with a practical approach to work, pushing further the limits of an idea for a place.
Last year Ponto atelier was invited to present the project "Shelter" in the exhibition "Mostra Espanha 2015" held in Évora and Madrid. More recently, the studio was invited to participate in the conference cycle "YAD – Young Architects Day" (Évora) and, in 2016, the atelier won the 1st place in the architectural contest "Two Houses in the Selvagens Islands", a project currently in development.
Presently, Ponto atelier's work in progress includes an housing rehabilitation project located in the historic city center of Évora and an agro-tourism proposal for Alentejo's country side.

CNN Documentary on Kent State, Vietnam War Airbrushes Away LBJ
By Jack Coleman | May 6, 2014 4:00 PM EDT
Ask a conservative to name the American leader who comes to mind when they think of the Vietnam War, he or she will almost surely cite Lyndon Baines Johnson. Ask a liberal and you may also hear LBJ in response -- but more likely you'll hear Richard Milhous Nixon instead. Long before the left began blaming George W. Bush for everything, Nixon filled that role.
Nearly four decades since it ended, the Vietnam War still has the power to polarize, especially when a major network looks back at a specific event from that tumultuous era. (Video after the jump)
On Sunday, CNN aired a documentary titled "Witnessed: The Killings at Kent State," on four college students who were shot to death on May 4, 1970 by Ohio National Guard troops during an anti-war protest.
The documentary began predictably enough, with archival footage of fighting in Vietnam and anti-war demonstrations prior to Kent State while Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's angry elegy "Ohio" played in the background. Added to the mix was a brief excerpt of a speech from Nixon, when he said this -- "The time has come for honest government in the United States of America" (oh the irony!).
My suspicions about the objectivity of the documentary were further confirmed by an observation from author and former Washington Post reporter Carl Bernstein --
The country was convulsed and had been now for a few years and Nixon, meanwhile, believed that his ability to prosecute the war the way he wanted to, the freedom to really bomb freely as he wanted to, to use more aggressive and to build up more forces, was being constrained by the anti-war movement which he and (national security adviser Henry) Kissinger regarded the anti-war movement was subversive.
.... much as North Vietnam and the Viet Cong viewed the anti-war movement as an unwitting ally. (Or in the case of Jane Fonda, all too witting).
Notice Bernstein's rhetorical sleight of hand -- Nixon wanted to "bomb freely", fight more aggressively and "build up more forces" -- except that American troop strength in Vietnam peaked in 1968, under Nixon's predecessor, Lyndon Johnson. You would never know that from this documentary, however, because Johnson, Escalator in Chief for US involvement in Vietnam, its dominant architect, is never mentioned at all. I waited in vain through the entire hour-long program for even a brief sighting, but it never came.
It was like watching a documentary on President Obama's handling of the war in Afghanistan -- without a single appearance by George W. Bush. If and when CNN makes that documentary, Bush will be the primary figure, followed by Obama heroically bringing the troops home.
As most conservatives are aware, Nixon began withdrawing American troops from Vietnam in 1969, his first year in office, and nearly all had returned home by the time he was inaugurated a second time in January 1973. Appreciative voters thanked Nixon by re-electing him in a landslide in 1972.
Just as liberals are inclined to look back at Vietnam as Nixon's war, a conflict he inherited just as Obama did the war in Afghanistan, they also close their eyes to the partisan turn that anti-war protests took after Nixon, a Republican, succeeded Johnson, a Democrat. Even though protests had grown in numbers and frequency while Johnson was in office, they grew more violent and destructive after Nixon took office.
As Adam Garfinkle pointed out in his 1997 book "Telltale Hearts: The Origins and Impact of the Vietnam Anti-War Movement," opinion polls consistently showed public support for the war eroding substantially only after Nixon took office, when the New York Times, Washington Post, major television networks and other media organs became stridently anti-war.
Compare this to the largely muted reaction on the left to Obama keeping American troops in Afghanistan. At a comparable point in his second term, Nixon had already withdrawn all US soldiers from Vietnam. Where have you gone, Cindy Sheehan?
As timing would have it, the CNN documentary coincided with renewed attention on the deaths of another four Americans - those killed in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012. If CNN ever runs a documentary about that horrific onslaught, I seriously doubt George W. Bush will be a no-show.

The division of the senses into biological or cultural phenomena is questionable as these two dimensions work in conjunction. While senses are embodied and subjective, the way we interpret them and value them is deeply embedded in cultural and social belief systems. The moment we express and interpret sensory experiences they become culturally mediated reflections.
A diverse group in terms of academic disciplines and professions discussed how to study the visual sense in Eigelstein Road.
A group of academics from diverse disciplines and different knowledge and attachments to el Raval studies a multi-sensory survey of el Raval from the perspective of the Raval local, tourist, Barcelona visitor.
To think about the different sensory 'atmospheres' and different uses of public space we propose to concentrate on the part of the street between Jardins de Rubió i Lluch and Plaça del Pedro, exploring the Jardins de Rubió i Lluch, the Carrer de l'Hospital, the Rambla, the Plaça del Pedro and the Capella de Sant Llàtzer. To stop and talk, the broader open squares seemed most suited.
If this were to become a real tour: we would obviously conduct more in-depth research into and collaborate with inhabitations and local organization and activists.
While developed for, and on the basis of, the sensory landscape of Carrer de l'Hospital, and for (rather individualistic tourists) walking and talking, the principles are adaptable to other media, places and audiences. The format will need to depend on a) the space and b) the aims, but the general format and aims of a small scale, interactive multi-sensorial tour can provide a good starting point to educate researchers, public and policy makers to become more reflective and engaged individuals.
Today the sound of the bells is mostly appreciated for its timbre, but different sources on the cathedral bells can show the strong and changing political associations of sounds. The bells were cast from French cannons captured during the 1870 Franco-Prussian war; their ringing was meant to broadcast a message of military triumph and national unity rather than a purely religious one. Melted down in WWI to make cannons again, a new bell was cast in the interwar years. Posters advertised their sound as a ringing message of resistance to French occupation of the Rhineland. After the second world war the sound of the bells became identified with the city's survival and reconstruction.
The professional or academic training individuals receive informs and shapes their 'sensing' as well as the methodological approaches to urban experience, thus an interdisciplinary and/or cross-professional team aids to a broader understanding and methodological framework to research the senses.
In our London workshop we conducted a series of walks on Whitechapel Road in mixed academic and cross-professional groups with the aim to learn from each others' methods. The task of each group was to work together to develop from our professional/academic knowledge a series of methods to analyse the sensory structures on Whitechapel Road.
The group chose a public space to stand still for 30 minutes and tried out a range of analogue methods by using paper and pen. Some sketched what they could see and made movement notations; another person drew a list of her immediate sensory impressions. This method tries to get closer to the fluid nature of urban sensing and capture some of the evasive and temporal aspects of urban life.
The group chose an observational method. They suggested to create three maps of Whitechapel Road. The first one maps the senses of the observer on the street: What smellscapes can be identified? What can be seen? What do the touch-scapes consist of? What can be heard? This is complemented by a map with subjective experiences from people interviewed: What are their feelings about the space? Do they experience a hostile, friendly, oppressive, etc environment? The third step is to create a 'relationship map' i.e. asking users of space: why do you experience this space as hostile, friendly or oppressive? The aim of this method is to create 'places of translation' bringing together the observational maps of the researcher with the experiences of interviewing people using this space.
The group chose to consciously reflect on their interdisciplinary set up by having each researcher observe the same place for 30 minutes by walking around the space. They then met to compare their observations: the disciplinary training informed very different observations of the same place revealing how our disciplinary training shapes how we sense. Agreements and disagreements came up which helped to problematise the subjective positioning of the researcher. This highlights the importance of a) group work; b) the need for interdisciplinarity when researching the senses and c) reflexibity. The researchers' observations then fed into shaping an interview schedule in which 5 questions are asked to the diversity of users of space from the more general to the more evocative.
The group examined the ways in which people use Instagram/twitter to represent themselves in and in front of buildings. The main questions were: What types of filters are used (and what filters are provided by the particular technology?). What kind of sensory atmosphere is displayed through social media? What are important buildings in social media? How are emotional connections to places represented through people's photographs? The approach provides a visual-emotional account of a site.
Linked to interdisciplinarity is the theme of cross-professionality. Our network benefited greatly from the interaction between different urban professionals and academic disciplines as we started to understand not just different approaches on how to represent, curate or research the senses but more importantly the constraints and frameworks that urban professional have to work with. In particular for academic sensory research to be applicable in urban planning, museum curation or urban branding, it is useful to reflect how the research can be operationalised for direct, practical uses.
An example of how cross-professionality can be useful has been the research a group of museum curators, sound artist and sociologist conducted to explore the soundscapes of el Raval. This group recorded sounds in different areas of el Raval focusing on thresholds to analyse how power-relations might be framed within ephemeral moments of public life.
Physical thresholds implied dramatic changes in soundscape, switching from noisy to quiet environments (lo-fi vs. hi-fi), allowing us to appreciate sounds and acoustics of different spaces; crossing thresholds also conveyed differences in light, temperature and tactile experiences. The concept of thresholds allowed us to investigate the interfaces of public spaces as articulated by streets, courtyards, squares and alleyways. It offered us the opportunity to heighten our awareness of the different qualities of public space embodied in sensorial experience.
From doing research in three European cities it became quickly clear that each city (and neighbourhoods or even streets in cities) hosts particular sensory atmospheres and sensory set ups. A comparison allows for differences to become more pronounced but, also, for understanding similarities from the local to the global level and to reflect on processes of emulation and adaptation. We therefore strongly advocate the benefits of comparative research within sensory research – this comparison does not have to be cross-cultural, but can include different spaces with a city, different historical times or even diverse temporal situations.


The average household's floor gets a lot of wear. Apart from all the walking and the potential scuffing caused by shoes, slippers, heels and animal claws, there's also scraping furniture and the possibility of dropped knives, forks, pots, pans, glasses, cups and pretty much anything else that can fall out of a human hand.
Firmfit place durability on the top of their priority list, creating flooring that can stand high volumes of traffic as well as droppage without dents, marks or scratches. It has a high-density limestone-based core, which makes it three times more rigid than standard luxury vinyl tiles.
What's more, its medium grain texture and wear layer is highly effective against impact and indentation, meaning that its perfect finish stays… well… perfect!
There really is no substitute for natural light. It makes our home look more inviting and spacious, and getting plenty of sunlight (even when we're indoors) can be beneficial for our mental health, too. Yet, many kinds of vinyl flooring are not intended for rooms that get a lot of sunlight. Fortunately, Firmfit vinyl floors are built to withstand high intensity sunlight without the risk of warping, fading or discoloration.
Water everywhere, not a problem for vinyl flooring!
While hardwood is not recommended for bathrooms or kitchens, resilient vinyl plank flooring is designed for unparalleled waterproofing. It is at home in the bathroom or the kitchen or even areas where there is a high possibility of moisture damage like the basement. It can remain deluged for days without any damage whatsoever.
In a busy household, the last thing anyone wants to do is spend all their time cleaning. Fortunately, Firmfit's tough vinyl flooring is designed to be super easy to maintain. A light brush with a broom regularly is all it takes to keep them looking good as new and stains wipe away quickly and completely.

Why John Lennon Envied Paul McCartney's Songwriting
Martin Kielty Published: January 5, 2023
A former John Lennon aide recalled times when the former Beatle envied the sort of songs Paul McCartney was writing.
While Dan Richter was instrumental in helping the former bandmates reconnect after their acrimonious split in 1970 he told The Telegraph that Lennon knew McCartney had talents he didn't share. (Richter was around during the Beatles' last few months.)
Richter recalled, at one point, "John got somebody to make a list of all the Beatles' songs, and then we had to say which were his and which were Paul's." On another occasion, Lennon's entourage visited a "fancy restaurant" where a band was playing as guests ate dinner. "When they saw John come in, they started playing 'Yesterday,'" Richter recalled. "John was so pissed off!"
He also offered an example that suggested Lennon's sense of competitiveness went further: After returning to his Tittenhurst Park home from a visit to George Harrison's place, Lennon exclaimed, "I could see water from George's window. Do you think we could put in a lake here?" However, Richter maintained that Lennon's biggest rivalry was with McCartney. "It bugged him that Paul could write those sweet melodies like 'Yesterday' and 'Hey Jude.' He couldn't do that. He was just too acerbic or too intelligent."
The assistant noted that it was no surprise to him that both Lennon and McCartney married into wealthy families. "Both of them ended up with women who knew how to deal with money, property, companies, staff," he noted. "One of the things that surprised me about John when I first met him was how little he knew of those kinds of things. He called himself working class, but he was really lower-middle class."
Richter confirmed he hasn't spoken to surviving Beatles McCartney and Ringo Starr in many years but added that he was happy to help get the band's two main songwriters talking again in 1973. "John and Yoko were at their Bank Street place [in New York] … Paul was at a hotel in Berlin, and I called his people. I said, 'If I got John on the phone, would Paul talk to him?' They said yes, and so they talked. I felt really good about that because they really loved each other."

The formation of the empire in 1870/71: how Bismarck bribed many bribes of Bavarian King Ludwig II
history The empire was founded in 1870/71
As Bismarck many bribes bribed Bavarian King Ludwig II
In fact, William I of Prussia did not want to become "Emperor of Germany" in 1870. But his prime minister, Otto von Bismarck, tricked him behind his back – and ruined the sticky Bavarian king with millions of gold marks.

ZPeople do not go to extremes unnecessarily – whether it is real or imagined. For Otto von Bismarck, Chancellor of the North German Confederation and Prime Minister of Prussia, the reference to the sovereignty of the people and their will was certainly the last chance to achieve the goal. Because the monarchist hastily hated any democratic impulse.
Yet in November, 1870, he could not have done otherwise. Because the wayward, unstable King of Bavaria Ludwig II refused to establish a small German empire under Prussia, which was to consist of the North German Confederation and the South German kingdoms and principalities of Baden, Württemberg, Hesse-Darmstadt, and above all. Thus, during the negotiations he pointed out that if Ludwig refused to establish an empire "from above", that is, by German princes, it would probably happen "from below".
It wasn't even an exaggeration. Because at this time the Munich lawyer and member of the state parliament Marquard Barth gathered more and more supporters who advocated the closest possible connection between Bavaria and Prussia. This put pressure on Ludwig II – a situation that Bismarck was happy to put pressure on the negotiators of the stubborn king.
"In an attempt to make Wittelsbach's dolls dance, Bismarck pulled every suitable wire," the court ruled. Otto plant 1990 in an important biography of Bismarck. Even before that, in 1986, a Marxist Ernst Engelberg It is written in his stimulating book about the founder of the empire: "The idea of pressure from below on the dynastic franders was also not entirely alien to him."

Ludwig II ceded: on November 23, 1870, the representatives of Bavaria signed a treaty with the North German Confederation, according to which Bavaria joined the constitution of this federation. But for Bismarck this was not enough; he wanted, in fact, going under pressure "from below", to use the dynamics to establish a small German nation-state in Central Europe.
However, his only real boss, King William I, did not want this under any circumstances – he felt like a Prussian monarch and did not want to be anything else. So Bismarck continued to cheat. The small German "empire" could rely on imperial dignity, which ended in 1806 since the time of Charlemagne – eventually, the Habsburg rulers in Vienna renounced any claims to the "German" empire through the title "Emperor of Austria".
Bismarck had to make a secret diplomatic masterpiece: to persuade William I to accept the imperial crown (and thus open the pressure valve "from below"), the proposal had to go from the King of Bavaria. The trustee of Ludwig Maximilian von Holstein met with Bismarck and asked for areas of Baden. Bismarck flatly refused, but noted that Bayern could get a piece of annexed Alsace (which never was).
On the other hand, Bismarck was generous financially: it was agreed that Ludwig should first receive a larger down payment and then 300,000 gold marks a year; Holstein secured a ten percent stake. A classic case of corruption. Since William I was never allowed to learn of the transaction, Bismarck used the confiscated assets of the Kingdom of Hanover, annexed in 1866. By 1886 alone, about six million gold marks had flowed into Ludwig's private box.
In return, the "fairy-tale king" was ready to make an offer to the much older Prussian monarch, which he could hardly refuse. Holstein asked Bismarck for a project, which Ludwig followed on November 30, 1870, with a few minor changes.
In it, the Bavarian welcomed the fact that from now on Wilhelm would exercise "presidential rights over all German states." He therefore "appealed to the German princes with a proposal together with me to offer Your Majesty to combine the exercise of the presidential rights of the Federation with the use of the title of German Emperor." The circular to the German rulers (and the free cities) had the same date as the Kaiserbrief, November 30, 1870. This was a trick characteristic of Bismarck, formally unknown but clearly securing his will in terms of content.
"Kaiserbrief" from Ludwig II to King William I from November 30, 1870
On December 3, 1870, the miner Holstein handed over the Kaiserbrief in Versailles to the Prussian king, who at first reacted disappointedly, but then signaled that he would not close. On December 18, he officially informed the North German Reichstag deputation that he would comply with the prince's request.
At the same time, the accession treaties between the North German Confederation and Baden, Württemberg and Hesse were ratified; they came into force on January 1, 1871. The German Empire was created, but initially without Bavaria. Only on January 21 did the Landtag in Munich accept the Bavarian treaty with the North German Confederation by 102 votes to 48; By his signature, Ludwig II entered into force this ratification on January 30, 1871, with retroactive effect before the beginning of the year. The first tranche of the bribe has already been paid by this time – by the way, through Switzerland.

I came up with the idea for this dish when I was desperately hungry in the grocery store tonight at 8 p.m. after a yoga class that nearly was the end of me. I planned on making sauteed grouper but of course by that time at night the seafood counter was down to one last sad fillet that was not coming home with me.
I picked up a few organic chicken breasts and decided to make Brie and Apricot Chicken with Almonds. Then I realized that I didn't have apricot preserves and brie was going to run me at least six dollars. I started brainstorming ideas for what I could make with what was in my fridge.
And that's how these delicious Sauteed Greek Chicken Breasts were born. I had all the ingredients on hand at home to make a Greek-inspired chicken dish. Rather than stuffing the chicken breasts, I took the lazy way out and made a tasty topping. It worked perfectly. The topping added so much flavor to the chicken. I pounded the chicken out thin to ensure that it cooked quickly, evenly and stayed tender and juicy.
I served the chicken with quick cooking couscous and green beans. This was a very simple meal for a weeknight that was on the table in less than 20 minutes. Both of us really enjoyed this dish and I will be adding it to my quick weeknight dinner repertoire.
Place chicken in a large Ziploc bag or between two sheets of wax paper and pound to about 1/4-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour flour into a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in the flour and shake off excess.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add olive oil and heat until shimmering. Place chicken in oil and saute about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and internal temperature is 160 degrees. Remove chicken from skillet and let rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil.
Add onion to skillet and saute for about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic, olives and sundried tomatoes and cook for another minute or two. Add broth and a squeeze of lemon and stir, scraping up brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in fresh herbs and feta and spoon mixture over chicken.
