Court unblocks stadium privatization
A Rio de Janeiro court overturned the suspension of a contract that gave control of Maracanã stadium to a group of private companies, according to a BBC report. The group includes AEG, Brazilian construction group Odebrecht, and sports and entertainment company IMX. The stadium was privatized earlier this month, but a judge suspended the process, saying the bidding was illegal. Last week's ruling reversed that decision, with the court saying that suspending the contract would cause damage to Brazil.
Police in Brazil banned the use of the caxirola noisemaker from a 2014 World Cup stadium amid safety concerns. The type of maraca was prohibited from a local match at Salvador's FonteNova stadium this month after hundreds of the plastic objects were thrown onto the pitch by fans during a match last month. FIFA officials are still considering whether to allow the devices inside venues at next year's World Cup.

Baby going through drug withdrawals
Published 7:00 pm, Wednesday, January 24, 2007
BAD AXE - A baby boy just eight days old today has taken on the fight of his tiny life - a fight that has included being treated for drug withdrawal after testing positive at a local hospital for opiates, barbiturates and cocaine. Now the Huron County Prosecutor said he's in search of a law that will allow him to hold the child's drug-addicted mother accountable.
"We have been looking for an appropriate charge since we found out about this (expecting mother in December), and ironically, today I received a call from the Sanilac Drug Task Force and they have a similar issue that another county is dealing with," said Huron County Prosecutor Mark J. Gaertner about the lack of a state laws that could hold women accountable for drug use while pregnant. "This case is kind of like the (Stephen) Cline case where there's a horrendous act but there isn't an appropriate charge. And like the Cline case, we're trying to be creative within the boundaries of the law."
Gaertner said the situation has caused him, along with other prosecutors from his office, to pour through the law books looking for a charge that would appropriately fit the case. After coming up empty handed so far, Gaertner has sought out the help of state law makers.
"I have contacted State Rep. Terry Brown's office to see if we can come up with up an appropriate charge to introduce legislation to cover a situation like this that would send a message to women who are pregnant and using (drugs) that there is going to be penalty," he said.
Huron County law enforcement officials learned of possible drug use by the expecting mother, Alison Miller, 25, when police arrived at the home Miller was sharing with boyfriend Anthony Spencer on Dec. 6.
Gaertner said for three months Spencer had been under the watchful eye of detectives from the Huron County Sheriff's Office. At the time of Spencer's arrest at the couple's Port Austin Road home, two Port Austin men, one 34 and the other 24, as well as Miller, were inside the apartment. Seized in the raid was suspected crack cocaine, numerous pills and marijuana, along with other drug paraphernalia and some cash.
Gaertner charged Spencer with delivery and manufacture of cocaine less than 50 grams, a charge punishable by up to 20 years in prison and/or a $25,000 fine, and possession of a mixture containing the controlled substance methadone, punishable by up to four years in prison and/or a $25,000 fine. Spencer also was arraigned on two additional misdemeanor charges: possession of marijuana, which carries a possible sentence of up to a year in jail, and a charge of maintaining a drug house, which carries a possible penalty of up to two years in prison. Gaertner said the two Port Austin men have been questioned and may face possible charges. Miller, who was eight months pregnant at the time of the December search, was questioned but no charges have been filed against her. The December incident did spur the Department of Human Services (DHS) to become involved after police say Miller admitted to using drugs while pregnant.
Gaertner said up until the time of the baby boy's birth on Jan. 17 there was nothing his office could do about the unborn baby. Miller has since been released from the hospital. Law enforcement officials report the baby remains in the hospital suffering from the symptoms of drug withdrawal.
Gaertner said it is not certain at this time when the child will be released from the hospital.
According to the prosecutor's office, the doctors caring for the child want to be certain that whoever will become the care provider of the child will spend time with hospital staff learning how to meet the special needs and care instructions for a baby going through drug withdrawal.
Wednesday morning attorney Christopher Boyle, representing Miller, attorney James Woodworth, representing the child's father, Anthony Spencer, attorney Dawn Schumacher on behalf of the baby, and Huron County Assistant Prosecutor Elizabeth V. Weisenbach, on behalf of the Department of Human Services (DHS), came together to discuss the matter at a preliminary hearing before Daniel Quinn of the Huron County Family Court.
The court ruled that the baby is suffering from symptoms due to drug withdrawal which include being jittery, jerking when touched, stiffening his body when people try to handle him, breathing shallow, crying for hours straight, and lack of appetite, among others symptoms. The child will remain at the hospital and is expected to be placed in a foster care home.
Weisenbach said all sides involved are trying to work together. She also credited Schumacher for her diligence in looking out for the best interests of the child in suggesting that the baby not get placed with the Miller or the (maternal) grandmother upon release from the hospital.
The court cited several reasons Wednesday for choosing foster care placement for the child including to give the maternal grandmother an opportunity to get the mother "cleaned up", along with giving the mother incentive to cooperate. It also protects the child from potential harm while the mother continues to be affected by her alleged "polysubstance use" (using at least three different substances).
Gaertner said even though Miller hasn't been charged criminally "there will be some accountability on her (Miller's) part.
"She was present at the home at the time the search warrant was executed," he said. "My intent after reviewing all the police reports is to file criminal charges against her, but as far as the child is concerned right now, we are exploring every option looking carefully at the child abuse statutes and coming up empty handed."
Weisenbach said Miller will be allowed supervised visitation by the DHS and/or its designee on a "frequent" basis, specifically from one to three hours at a time. Miller is required to submit to random urinalysis and PBT tests as directed by the DHS and is to give another drug screen. She submitted to one last week but the results were not available.
If Miller's levels (of residual drugs in her system) decrease, she may be able to have the baby placed in her home. If her levels increase, or other substances are found that are not prescribed, she will not be allowed to have the baby placed with her.
Quinn ordered Spencer's visitation suspended until he is released from jail or until the matter goes before Huron County Probate Judge David L. Clabuesch, handling the Circuit Court Family Division, and visitation may at that time be addressed. Quinn said due to scheduling of all four attorneys involved in the case, no date has been set yet for Clabuesch to hear the matter.
Gaertner said the baby is really just one of many victims in this case and the larger picture in the war on drugs.
"We can pursue the drug war all we want, but we have all these secondary victims, the child is affected first and foremost, and tax payers will foot the bill for all the financial services that will need to be provided. I think Terry (Brown) will listen to our concerns on this issue that affects everyone. I'm sure this is a case that will be ripe for debate."
As for charges pending against Spencer, he is expected to be arraigned in Huron County Circuit Court on Jan. 29. He remains lodged in the Huron County Jail.

The last ringing of the Courthouse Bell will happen at high noon.
Crews are working on the steeple of the Courthouse and will remove the bell after the ceremony for later display on ground level.
Presiding Commissioner Joe Baumli (bomb-lee) says it's a fitting tribute.
The last 12 chimes of the Nodaway County Courthouse bell as it stands will be at 12 o-clock noon tomorrow at the Courthouse.

Apple have announced the holding of iPhone Tech Talks around the world and two are being held in Australia. Sydney on 19 November and Melbourne on 21 November.
The AUC is offering each member University four (4) subsidised
places to send staff and students to the Leopard Tech Talk in Sydney on 19 November and Melbourne on 21 November. The subsidy consists of financial assistance in covering return economy airfares and
The local AUCDF Representative on each campus will assign the four subsidised positions.
Sydney and Melbourne attendees who live within a 3 hour travelling
distance from the venue are NOT eligible for any subsidy. For example, those travelling from Wollongong or Newcastle to attend the Sydney event would not be eligible for a subsidy.
Those wanting to attend the iPhone Tech Talk need to register on-line with Apple as part of the iPhone Developer Program. Pleasenote that spaces are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis by Apple Inc, the AUC is NOT able to hold any places and we expect both Tech Talks to fill fast.

Today we find ourselves ranked as the 31st most popular Australian Music site. This follows the uploading of our latest clips from Live on Lydiard 15 which took place last week featuring 5 acts from Ballarat and 3 from Melbourne."

Google Apps Education Edition to see what all the fuss was about.
This has great potential as a collaboration tool for students (and indeed, staff) with the ability to share documents and web sites, as well as contacts and calendars. Macquarie University became the first Australian university to give all its students customised Google email accounts in 2007, a trend which is also becoming popular overseas as administrators look to reduce their overheads and whilst increasing functionality.
We haven't gone that far yet. We're hoping to run a trial with Student & Learning Support in the coming weeks; word processed documents may be shared in real-time as staff assist distance students with writing skills. Instant Messaging, VoIP (voice over Internet) or plain old telephones will allow for the verbal communication.
We don't have our directory system integrated with Google Apps yet, so if you're wanting to try it out, you'll need to contact me to add you as a user. You can, of course, use a non-UB email address to sign yourself up instead.
Stay tuned...!

Eammon : "Starbak is finally online again after hibernating for a number of months. We'd like to contain it's use to recording H.323 calls only and focus on tUBe (particularly in the near future when we move to V2.0) as the Universities main video distribution system. Many thanks to Ian and Marcus for their help with getting it back online. Anyone requiring an account, please email me a request: firstname.lastname@example.com
Speaking of which, tUBe hit one hundred uploaded videos today. Considering it was only implemented towards the end of '07, the uptake is really encouraging! Of those hundred videos, there was 2200 individual video views over the past 5 months. Very promising. Big thanks to Steve Pallete and Matthew Alvey for their continued work behind the scenes."

Sony's online store.
I have ordered one for evaluation and it should be here in a few days. I have been evaluating a near identical Olympus product and that has been very impressive. I'm looking at the Sony because it does native MP3 whereas the Olympus does WMV.
We have a buy price of around $190 ex and subject to a successful evaluation, I will be ordering a number to offer for loan via MTS at Mt Helen and SMB. I'm also happy to add individual orders to our bulk purchase and already have a few extras on my list. Just let me know if you're interested.
I expect to be ordering around April 17 so you'll need to let me know prior. If the device proves unsuitable I'll let everyone know and add an entry here.
This is the Olympus. The Sony is very similar and also has the convenient snap apart USB function. You just plug into PC/Mac USB port and drag and drop the audio file onto your computer.

I recently had a request for advice on document conversion from Word and Powerpoint to PDF. Mac users and the few of us who use the free Open Office or enhanced Oxygen Office can already export to PDF. But what about everyone else?
Enter PrimoPDF, which installs itself as a Windows printer, allowing you to export to PDF from Word, Excel and Powerpoint directly from the File>Print menu. It's free, and it works well (no trial period or watermarks).
Going a step further, the free AuthorPoint Lite 2 for Windows lets you convert any Powerpoint presentation into a Flash file (.swf) that can be published as a web page. Why bother? Publishing your presentations this way increases their accessibility (usually a reduced file size, and no need for Powerpoint software to be loaded on the viewer's computer) and also helps to protect your intellectual property - it's much harder to edit a published Flash file than a Powerpoint file. Flash files can also be imported into Blackboard, and viewed without having to leave the web browser environment.

I came across this take on LMS vs. PLE (mashups?) some of you may be interested in...
"Todays learning management systems can be perceived as islands islands in the vast sea of learning possibilities the World Wide Web offers. Not only content can be obtained, refined and selected; learners can also adopt those tools which are important for their purposes, create their own and individual learning portals, tag content or register RSS feeds informing about news relevant to them.
The keyword web 2.0 makes it possible: Moving away from standard learning management systems (one for all technique) to personalised learning environments (one for me technique) consisting of snips, bits and pieces, collections of tools and services which are bundled to individual and/ or shared landscapes of knowledge, experiences and contacts. It is a shift from the island paradigm of the LMS technique to understanding the web as a door, a portal to learning opportunities.
While we have already claimed individualisation of education through e-learning in the past, personalised learning environments are now truly offering it. "
Any thoughts?

I think the environment should handle such configuration and not each individual app itself. I'm not familiar with gnome internals, but I think command should be a directory where each individual app can register (and unregister) it's own handler. It's then up to the environment to provide a means to choose the prefered handler.

So, The Same, but More is a Predefined Message about not splitting tropes between Trope X and Trope Xtreme. But it has significant wicks from work pages, and from a check of the upper 50 wicks it seems to be largely used literally rather than as the guideline. My thought here was to move the page to Administrivia.The Same But More and disambiguate or redirect the current one to something else. Obligatory wick check

The other thing I thought of was merging The Same, but More and The Same, but More Specific under a name like Insuffienctly Distinct Trope (as these stock phrases aren't at all that clear - are they tropes, administrative guidelines, Stock Phrases or even a synonym for Sub-Trope?).

I suggest killing the bad wicks. That alone might be enough to make the problem go away (as it will remove the monkey-see-monkey-do temptation). If they start reappearing, then it might be time for more drastic action.

That's because the Related function only counts wicks in the wiki. Predefined Messages are meant for discussion; any links on the wiki are likely to be incorrect. It was being used correctly in discussions.

Wiki pages dealing with wikicentric topics are free to link to each other as long as it's relevant to the context it's mentioned in. Beyond that, yes, they shuldn't be linked as if they were tropes.

Finished The Same, but More. Didn't start the others, mostly due to them having more wicks for not much time. A few questions:
- Bonus Points, Humor Mode, It Makes Sense in Context, Makes Just as Much Sense in Context, Sincerity Mode, You Have Been Warned and Not Safe for Work look more like tropes or Stock Phrases than like something that goes into Administrivia/. Leave or move?
- Clear, Concise, Witty: Not sure if I am allowed to touch that.
- Complaining About Shows You Don't Like, Everything's Worse with Snowclones, Just a Face and a Caption, There Is No Such Thing as Notability and Work Pages Are A Free Launch are locked. Is the procedure simply to do all the page move steps that you can do yourself and then ask for redirecting, or are there more requirements?
- Search-Generated Index looks like a Wiki Trope + Administrivia, but I still lean towards move.
- Needs an Index and In-Universe Examples Only are indexes, so I think of leaving them in Main.

Indeed. A Vitalising Edit, or however you spell it, can happen on any wiki. To all the pages in the first bullet of 17: Why would any of those go in Administrivia/? None are policy or the like; they're tropes/wiki tropes.

The word you are searching for is Vitalizing Edit, and I was pointing out 17.1 as things that ought to stay in Main/. The Search-Generated Index question was more about the fact that as-is the page only speaks about us, and is written like a policy page.

Assessing is the method used to determine how much taxpayers will pay in property taxes. Property taxes are charges to taxpayers for the costs of governmental programs and services that benefit the general public and to finance public improvements, such as a road project or new fire station.
Townships are assessing units
There are many local governmental units with the authority to levy taxes: townships, villages, cities, school districts, intermediate school districts, community colleges, district libraries, and special taxing authorities, such as downtown development authorities.
However, there are only two governmental units with the authority to assess property: townships and cities. Villages are required to have assessment rolls, but villages do not assess property because all property in a village is within a township, so the village assessments must be identical to those set by the township assessor.
All taxable property within a township must be annually assessed by the township supervisor or other assessor(MCL 211.10) who is certified as qualified by the State Assessors Board (MCL 211.10d).

The Ecclesiazusae, or "The women attending the Assembly", is the second to last of Aristophanes' surviving plays. It therefore belongs to the period of Athenian history after the end of the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BCE), during which all Aristophanes' surviving plays except Ecclesiazusae and Wealth were written, and after the oligarchic coup of 404 BCE and the restoration of the democracy in the following year. The date of the original performance is controversial but it was certainly between 393 and 389 BCE (probably in either 391 or 390: for the arguments see the introduction in Sommerstein (1998)).

Beauty, Makeup, Obsessions — Lancome Star Bronzer Aquastick
Don't let the compact packaging of Lancome's new limited edition Star Bronzer Aquastick fool you- it's a classic example of great things coming in small packages. In fact, the super portable nature of the packaging is just one of the reasons why this product is so genius. Here are some others:
– The sheer color makes accidentally over bronzing virtually impossible
– The silky gel formulation is super blendable and naturally radiant- no more of that flat, matte powder bronze
– Controlled and clean application with the gel stick- no need to worry about loose powders getting all over your clothes
– No tools needed to apply
– And what I love most about this product: the 'aqua' in 'Aquastick' is for real. Applying this product feels like a burst of cool water on your face and is incredibly refreshing on a hot summer day
It's easy to see why this is my favorite new bronzer of the season- and perhaps of all time. Obsessed indeed! To find out more, check out Lancome's official website.

Re-Thinking HR: What Every CIO Needs to Know About Tomorrow's Workforce
The Google Apps Premier Edition will give the search engine pioneer the chance to see whether it can become a software-as-a-service powerhouse by selling a basic suite of online desktop applications for $50 per user per year.After months of testing, Google is ready to see whether businesses large and small are ready to pay to use its online suite of basic business applications, including spreadsheets, e-mail, word processing, calendars and instant messaging.
Google, which has steadily transformed itself from a search engine pioneer into a data access, Internet advertising and business application powerhouse, introduced on Feb. 22 its Google Apps Premier Edition at a cost of $50 per account per year.
The Premier Edition adds Google Docs and Spreadsheets; Gmail for mobile devices on BlackBerry; and application-level controls to Google Calendar, Gmail, Google Talk and Start Page applications that the company introduced as a free service starting in August 2006.
While the free applications were initially offered to serve small and midsize companies, the Premier Edition has collaboration and management features that will appeal to companies of all sizes, including large enterprises, said Dave Girouard, vice president and general manager of Google's enterprise group in Mountain View, Calif.

RIM slashes PlayBook price >> Loop Insight
"The 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models of the device will sell for $199, $299 and $399". It's deja vu all over again. That's a $200 price cut against the initial base price at which the PlayBook was introduced. These cuts must be costing RIM hundreds of dollars.
'Occupy Flash' movement wants Adobe's plug-in dead >> Computerworld
"A small group of website and mobile app developers have kicked off an 'Occupy Flash' campaign to put a stake in the heart of Adobe's popular browser plug-in." Hang on, isn't it the 99% who are meant to complain about the 1%? This is the wrong way round.
Banks bung hard-up Acer £315m loan on Channel Register
"Troubled Acer has penned a new financing deal to cover working capital requirements and pay off a previous loan it took out to acquire Gateway. "The firm has gone through a major reshuffle of management following a loss-making year in which sluggish consumer demand caught it by surprise and resulted in an inventory pile-up." Just to point out that the Gateway acquisition cost £350m and completed in October 2007. Four years later it has to take a loan out to finish that? Sounds like an unsuccessful acquisition that hasn't generated as much cash as expected.
The vision behind Klout: measuring online influence >> The Official Klout Blog
Tom Coates comments on the soothing words from Klout's chief: "While superficially that seems reasonable, pretty much any of us who have been on the web a long time know what these scores result in. One way or another they'll make us targets for marketing and advertising companies to try and sell their products through us. "And while you talk about the ways in which you try to give people a better platform to be recognized for their passions, what you're actually doing (or at least this is how it seems) is to estimate which of us is financially worth the most, and then you're selling access to us to advertisers." That's the real vision behind it, he thinks.
Walt Mossberg reviews Kindle Fire, Amazon's colour tablet >> WSJ.com
"To be clear, the Kindle Fire is much less capable and versatile than the entry-level $499 iPad 2. It has a fraction of the apps, a smaller screen, much weaker battery life, a slower Web browser, half the internal storage and no cameras or microphone. It also has a rigid and somewhat frustrating user interface far less fluid than Apple's. "But the Fire has some big things going for it. First, the $199 price, though the Fire's seven-inch screen is less than half the surface area of the iPad's display. Second, the Amazon and Kindle brands, already known and loved for e-readers and more. Third, Amazon is the only major tablet maker other than Apple with a large, famous, easy-to-use content ecosystem that sells music, video, books and periodicals. The Fire can be thought of as a hardware front end to all that cloud content." Suspicion: the Kindle Fire will kill the 7in "official Android" market. Effect on the iPad: harder to measure.
Kindle Fire gets torn down - no surprises here >> TechCrunch
"iFixit, bless their hearts, have taken a Kindle Fire to pieces, though as it turns out, there aren't too many pieces to begin with. The battery is one huge unit, and all the processing and I/O occurs on a single PCB at the bottom of the device. "Those expecting a carbon copy of the Playbook both outside and in will be disappointed: the layout, batteries, PCB, and all the components are different, making the form factor more or less the only real similarity between the two devices." They share a processor. Basically, tablets are now a battery, screen, and a circuit board.
Coffee Time: Market Share vs Profit - journal >> minimally minimal
Compares the phone models Apple sells in the US with those that Samsung sells. One concludes that Samsung must have really good supply chain control, because that's some SKU [stockkeeping unit, ie different piece of merchandise] challenge there.
Don't Be Too Disappointed By Google Music's Lackluster Debut >> TechCrunch
"There are two things the critics decline to acknowledge: that Google is providing a simple, free service, and that all Google products start out underwhelming and gradually expand. Android was a mess when it showed up. And it's still a mess -- a mess blowing up to the tune of half a million devices a day. We all know Google doesn't ship complete products. So why do we waste our breath in day-one aspersion or praise when it's going to be a new Music down the line?"

Captains top Lugnuts late, 5-4
Luigi Rodriguez drives in game-winner as Captains start out on right foot
EASTLAKE – The Lake County Captains kicked off the 2013 season with a 5-4 win over the Lansing Lugnuts, thanks to some timely offense and speed on the bases.
Right-hander Luis DeJesus took the bump first for the Captains to counter Lansing's Javier Avenado. Avenado is a big right-hander whom the Blue Jays organization picked from the minor league Rule 5 draft back in 2012.
DeJesus was the Indians' 11th round pick in the 2011 draft. He had an impressive season last year with the Mahoning Valley Scrappers and possesses a fastball, slider, change-up arsenal.
The Lugnuts struck first in the top of the second inning. First baseman Balbino Fuenmayor led off the inning with a solo shot over the left field wall for Classic Park's first home run of the season. DeJesus rebounded with composure though, as he struck out right fielder Chris Hawkins and retired the next two batters on a groundout and foul out.
The Captains responded in the following inning as second baseman Robel Garcia hit a one-out single to right. With two out, a throwing error during a pickoff attempt by Lugnuts' catcher Santiago Nessy sailed into right field, allowing Garcia to advance to second. After shortstop Dorssys Paulino drew a walk, another error struck as Lansing shortstop Emilio Guerrero fumbled a ground ball, allowing right fielder Luigi Rodriguez to reach. The blunders continued for the Lugnuts as a wild pitch allowed Garcia to score, tying the game at 1-1.
DeJesus fanned the first two batters he faced in the fifth inning, but Guerrero doubled a line drive to center and scored as left fielder Ronnie Melendez singled to center to give the Lugnuts the edge again.
DeJesus seemed to run out of gas a bit as Lansing plated two more in the sixth. Second baseman Christian Lopes led off with a double to center and Fuenmayor drew a walk. A wild pitch pushed both runners into scoring position, but DeJesus managed to force a pop out for the first out. That was the final out DeJesus converted as he was replaced with righty Jack Wagoner.
Nessy greeted Wagoner the hard way, as he sent a fly ball deep to right for a ground-rule double that scored both runners, bumping the Lugnuts to a 4-1 lead.
The Captains maintained their resiliency in their half of the sixth though as Daniel Norris replaced Avendano. Luigi Rodriguez met Norris with a single to center and catcher Eric Haase sent a triple deep to right to plate Rodriguez.
Lake County tipped the scales in their own favor in the seventh inning as centerfielder LeVon Washington led off with a walk. Wil Browning entered the game to pitch for the Lugnuts, and with one out, Washington advanced to second on a wild pitch. Luigi Rodriguez singled to right to score Washington to tie the game, and a throwing error on behalf of the right fielder allowed Rodriguez to advance to third. After first baseman Nelson Rodriguez drew a walk, another wild pitch proved costly as Rodriguez scored to give the Captains the go-ahead run.
The 5-4 advantage was all the Captains required as Louis Head replaced Wagoner in the eighth. Head made quick work of the Lugnuts as he struck out two and forced a pop out.
Head gave way to Felix Sterling for the ninth. Sterling's struggles of the past were vacant as he relinquished a lead-off single, but then struck out the side to preserve the Captains 5-4 win.
Captains' manager Scooter Tucker was happy to get the first win out of the way and noted the team's tough attitude through all nine innings. "It's a great feeling, more so for those guys because early in the game it didn't look like we had much going offensively and it was going to be a tough night, and they just kept playing hard," he said. "They kept doing little things, kept getting on, kept moving around, being aggressive when they had the opportunity and fortunately, it worked out."
Next, the Captains send their only southpaw starter, Ryan Merritt, to the hill to counter Lansing's Taylor Cole. Merritt was the Indians' 16th draft pick in 2011.

I stayed in northern Germany, just outside of Bremen city with a friend and his host family for a week. The family was kind enough to show me the most important artistic works in the area.
The movement that most contributed to the culture of this part of Germany is apparently expressionism. Expressionism was inspired by works done by German artists like Heinrich Vogeler and Edvard Munch at the end of the 19th century.
To my untrained eyes, much of the work was similar to impressionism. However, after a bit of study, it became clear that this is far from the case.
Expressionism, is dark and abstract compared to impressionism. Impressionism is what the world looks like when your eyesight starts to go. Expressionism is what the world looks like when your mind and emotions start to go.
Impressionism is positive and French. Expressionism is dark and German.
The works of Vogeler may have inspired the expressionists, or they might have only been a precursor to them.
Let's look at Heinrich Vogeler and his home in the Worpswede to see how this might have unfolded. Also, you might begin to understand the entanglements that all these European artists had with one another during the time period in question.
Heinrich Vogeler and Barkenhoff
Heinrich Vogeler is the best known artist from Bremen that I've been able to find. His works and ideas seem more realistic and more idealistic than the movement that would emerge after his prime.
Vogeler was born in Bremen in 1872 and studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf from 1890 to 1895. His early work was considered Art Nouveau which I am especially attracted to. There is a fantastical precision in the style that draws the eye and captures the imagination. It requires little effort to appreciate excellent Art Nouveau works like this incredible mural found in Vogeler's Barkenhoff:
This mural at Barkenhoff is a tremendous example of Jugendstil (German Art Nouveau)
What is the Barkenhoff?
The Barkenhoff is Vogeler's residence at the Worpswede. It was designed by Vogeler. He also designed all of the furniture inside while his brother constructed the pieces. The house is featured prominently in some of Vogeler's most impressive works. The most famous view of the Barkenhoff can be see here:
What is the Worpswede?
The Worpswede is an artist colony just outside Bremen City. It's basically a small town created by and for artists. There are a number of interesting museums and galleries presently in the Worpswede. Two of which I've visited and will describe in this post: the Barkenhoff and the Museum at Kaffee Worpswede, which is a terrific café and museum designed by Bernhard Hoetger who I will discuss later.
Vogeler's Product Design
I was especially struck by Vogelers quaint application of Jugendstil to product design. You can see his imagination at work in these household items he designed for the Barkenhoff:
For additional reading on Heinrich Vogeler, see the following:
ODD MAN OUT: HEINRICH VOGELER AND FIN-DE-SIÈCLE WORPSWEDE, Lionel Grossman, 2016, Princeton University
A Biography of Heinrich Vogeler found in the Barkenhoff Museum:
Bernhard Hoetger, Kaffee Worpswede, and Böttcherstraße
Hoetger is possibly the most interesting artistic figure from Northern Germany. His ideas about civilization were so warped and fantastic that even the Nazis laughed him out of the party. Simply put, he thought the Germans were a super race descended from — wait for it — Atlantis.
I guess his ideas were put to the test in WWII.
Anyway, his architecture was a stunning example of expressionism in three-dimensional space. His sculpture work was artfully done and heavily inspired by classical work from all over the world: Egypt, Greece, and the Orient. You can one of my favorite pieces below:
And here you can see the café/museum he architected in the Worpwede:
He pioneered expressionist brickwork and was influenced even by native american culture. You can see evidence in the Café above and also in the Niedersachsenstein pictured below:
Hoetger also architected a famous street in Bremen called Böttcherstraße. Böttcherstraße is a small alley with art shops and impressive architecture. It's most interesting feature is a golden sculpture embedded above the entrance. This piece is called Lichtbringer and is meant to "glorify the fuhrer" and his victory over darkness.
Note the intricate brickwork. This is a rare example of expressionist architecture that Hoetger pioneered.
Hoetger was kind of a nut. He believed some insane ideas about Germans being descended from Atlantis. He developed a unified theory that involved German superhumans and a common birth point of all world belief systems. Today, we'd call him a conspiracy theorist. You can see the symbolism of his unified theory below:
Additional Artists
There are some additional interesting artists that I learned about while in Bremen.
Paula Modersohn-Becker is a famous painter from the region. She is known as one of the first female artists to convey the female figure nude. While I did not survey her entire ouvré, I was not particularly attracted to what I saw.
Rainer Maria Rilke is a famous German poet who lived in the Worpswede for sometime. He was friends with Modersohn-Becker and Vogeler. His story is crazy. He traveled all over Europe and was a lover to Lou Andreas Salomé who apparently hooked up with half the Germanic intelligentsia of the time (see Nietzsche and Freud). Rainer was born René Karl Wilhelm Johann Josef but changed his name to Rainier because Salomé convinced him that it was more masculine.
Eventually he married Clara Westhoff. Westhoff was a tremendous sculptor (see her bronze cast of Heinrich Vogeler above.)
Clara Westhoff was an incredible beauty as well. Although you might not be able to tell by this portrait done by her friend Paula Modersohn-Becker:
Other Tips for Visiting Bremen
To get around, use a bike. There is a tram system too, but I never really understood it. My host family let me borrow a bike, and that was all I needed. Make sure you use a light when it's dark.
Cafés in Bremen don't have Wi-Fi. I heard it's because establishments are responsible for what guests do on their internet network. I don't know if that's true, but it makes working out of cafés quite inconvenient. The only place with internet was Starbucks, which is fortunately quite centrally located.
Eat with locals. The older generation eats a huge lunch. They're quite good at cooking and know where to find local, responsibly sourced ingredients. This was my habit in Bremen.
There is a pretty restaurant downtown called Alex. It's tempting because of the location, but don't go there. The food is shit. I got the fish special for lunch my last day in Bremen. It was cold. Just take my word for it.
Instead, go to the nearby Cafe and Bar Celona on the river. It's a chain but very nice. Get a small plate of Datteln im Speckmantel (literally: Dates in a Bacon Coat). It's divine.
Just ask locals about The Bermuda Triangle. It's a small square with several freaky bars. There is even one dressed to look like a cave. There is also a bar called Heartbreak Hotel where you should go after every other place closes down because that's where the last desperate singles go to hook up.
At least, that's what my friends told me. You'd never find me at such a place XD.
There is a nearby movie theater that does sneak peeks every Monday night. It gets quite busy. We went there but the movie wasn't in English or even German, so we decided not to see it.

Moundou Airport (MQQ)
Medium Airport
Moundou Airport Reviews (1)
Moundou Airport - 2013
It has no amenities so speak of though you might get a soft drink and a snack at the bar. The airport is under reconstruction to be able to handle international flights. The buildings are in progress with the old terminal still standing. The runway has been lengthened and paved and is suitable for a 737 class of plane. The only current flights that come in are local charters with the oil and development companies who use the services of RJM Air and M.A.F. or their own planes, mostly small turbo props like Cessna Caravan, Dash 8, and a Brazilian plane that I do not know the identity of. I am an expat working in Chad for 15 years and live just 2km from the airport.

Cast Away
I'm currently working on a novel where a woman crash-lands on a deserted tropical island so I decided to re-watch Cast Away for inspiration. Sadly... I mean... aside from getting lots of ideas about how this woman is going to survive... the movie's kind of... dull. Don't get me wrong though! I'll forever treasure Cast Away and it will remain one of my favorite movies, but, since I have seen it several times (though they were a while ago) the movie just doesn't thrill me like it used to. I still feel emotional when Wilson floats off in the ocean. I still feel sad for the main character when his entire civilized life is changed when he returns. But I don't feel the emotions as strongly.
Cast Away will be a movie classic that gets put onto the shelf permanently. One of the movies where I have to own it because it's that amazing but by the end of the day it never seems to be the movie I want to watch.
Maybe someday, years from now, when I'm showing the movie to the children I hope to have I'll be able to re-experience the awe the movie first gave me when I watched it some thirteen years ago. Until then it will go back to it's place on my shelf until that rainy night when I glimpse at it and actually think "hey... I haven't seen that in a while."

The social impact of cash transfers
a study of the impact of cash transfers on social networks of Kenyan households participating in cash transfer programs"
This study explores one aspect of the broader issues of social networks. It is specifically concerned with whether a minimal cash grant selectively provided to some extremely poor households as part of a social safety network programme may impact the social networks of receiving families. An underlying concern is that assistance to the most vulnerable is constructive and does not undermine already fragile family coping systems. To explore the issue of social networks and cash transfers, a qualitative study was carried out in Kenya in November 2007. Interviews were conducted with 6 recipient families of the Kenya Government Cash Transfer Programme (CTP)—3 families in an urban setting and 3 in a rural setting, This study attempted to answer the question, do cash transfers enhance or disrupt informal social networks?

What holds freelance writers (and especially new writers) back?
It's a fact that many new writers do not live up to their potential as a writer. Even experienced writers sometimes fail to meet their true potential. (Of course, few writers want to admit this fact, let alone discuss it.)
Writers not living up to their potential is a serious problem. It's a problem that can derail a freelancing career. Fortunately, it's also a problem with a solution.
I'm convinced that the answer to this problem is accountability.
You see, when you start out as a writer it's just too easy to:
- Quit.
- Settle for less than you can accomplish.
- Tell yourself you don't feel like writing today.
- Convince yourself that your writing isn't good enough.
I'm very familiar with all of the excuses that we writers make for ourselves. Sadly, as freelancers, there is often no one there to encourage us or challenge us when we need it. For many writers, when there's no accountability they accomplish much less as a writer than they are capable of doing.
If you can relate to these problems, then you know what I am talking about.
A Solution to No Accountability
So, what's a freelance writer to do if he or she suspects that they have fallen prey to their own excuses? How can a writer overcome the problem of not having to answer to anyone? How can they live up to their true potential as a writer?
One easy answer to these problems is to choose to become accountable to someone else. Select someone (or a group of someones) to be accountable to. A writing coach, mentor, or peer group, makes an ideal accountability partner. (Believe me, having a second set of eyes review your work really helps!)
While accountability may seem contrary to the "freedom" that we freelance writers enjoy, it really isn't if you choose your accountability partner carefully. Look for someone with writing experience as well as someone who has a personal style that is compatible with your own.
While there are many great writing coaches available on the Internet, I feel that my own coaching program offers a strong advantage to writing and business professionals.
However, even if you don't select my coaching program, I strongly believe in the value of finding a mentor or writing coach to be accountable to. I urge you to find the writing coach who is right for your needs.

About RAM
Cole Palen founded the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in 1958 with a handful of airplanes and a dream. He built it into a world-renowned destination as America's first flying museum of antique aircraft. The Rhinebeck Aerodrome Museum was established in 1993 as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization to continue Cole's legacy. Our mission is preserving, restoring and flying the aircraft of the Pioneer, WWI, and Golden Ages of Aviation.
We entertain and educate by preserving over 60 vintage aircraft, many antique automobiles and motorcycles, and related memorabilia in a classic small town airport setting. Our static display Museum is open from May through October and we fly two different airshows each Saturday and Sunday, Mid-June through Mid-October.
RAM consists of a volunteer Board of Trustees, professional staff, and many volunteers who do everything from restorations to mowing the runway.
Our 2018 Schedule for Board meetings is:
January 31, February 28, March 28, April 25, May 30, June 27, July 25, August 29, September 26, October 24 November 28, December 19. Meetings are at 6 PM in the Palen House, located at the Aerodrome.
Our Professional Staff
Ken Cassens (Mechanic) was hired by Cole Palen and is well-known for his high quality work, winning "Best Homebuilt" for his Starduster II at the EAA's AirVenture Fly-in. His lifetime career in aviation started when he soloed at age 16. He served with the Air National Guard as a flight engineer aboard C97s and flew with the airlines for many years. He has thousands of hours in the air, including over 10,000 rides in our New Standard D-25. Ken recently completed and test flew our Spirit of St. Louis reproduction after working with the Smithsonian to get all the details right.
Carol Hammond (Office Manager and Coordinator) has been with us over 10 years. She handles the day to day business, phone calls, group tour planning, staff, and works directly with the Museum Board. She also helps with Aerodrome social media, the newsletter, memberships, and fundraising efforts. She's been known to clean spark plugs in the shop. Outside of the Aerodrome Carol enjoys spending time with her nephews, bird watching, making birdhouses, traveling and visiting lighthouses.
Mark Mondello (Director of Aircraft Maintenance) became a volunteer in the ticket booth in 2004, progressed to ground crew and mechanics' helper, groundskeeper, airshow announcer and eventually full-time mechanic in 2014. Mark attended SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. He also attended Mohawk Valley Community College's Aviation Maintenance Technician Program, graduating a Valedictorian in 2013. He later obtained his Airframe and Power Plant certification, holds an Airworthiness Inspector Certificate, a Private Pilot's License and is training for his Commercial Ticket, flying several Aerodrome aircraft. He is a Senior Member and Pilot in the Civil Air Patrol.
Rhinebeck Aerodrome Museum Trustees
Michael DiGiacomio (President) grew up in New Paltz N.Y. During his younger years spent many hours building model aircraft and volunteering work on full-scale aircraft at Stanton airport. He graduated from SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry College in Syracuse. Mike operates Mike's Tree Service in Dutchess County. He and his wife JoAnn have two children, Anson & Everett. JoAnn volunteers at the Aerodrome, mostly in the gift shop. Mike attended his first airshow and took his first airplane ride at Old Rhinebeck as a child. He has been actively volunteering since 2001, starting with cutting the grass and then helping with the airshows. He has been a member of the Museum Board of Trustees since 2007.
Warren Batson (Treasurer) grew up on Long Island, in the direct flight path to the North-South runway of Republic airfield. He always gravitated to model aircraft and he started building at age 8 and progressed through many rubber band-powered Guillow's kits and eventually to radio-controlled aircraft. Warren's first exposure to the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome came from seeing coverage in R/C Modeler magazine and he made the 150-mile trip from Long Island to Rhinebeck where he met Cole Palen. Years later, after graduating from college, Warren moved to the area, joined the Mid- Hudson R/C club and became very involved in the running of the Old Rhinebeck Jamboree event. Warren takes responsibility for the Aerodrome physical plant and is vital to our recent and continuing improvements. Warren received his Light Sport Pilot License in early 2017.
Mike Fisher (Secretary) was born in Rhinebeck and grew up in Red Hook. A chance encounter, as a teenager, with the late Gordon Bainbridge brought him to the Aerodrome for a visit and he was hooked. Mike interested his father and two brothers and soon all were taking lessons and rebuilding Cubs and Champs. He soloed at 16, in the family Lycoming J-3 Cub, at the Aerodrome. In addition to the Aerodrome, Mike's other passion was radio and he worked at several Hudson Valley and Central New York stations. He announced ORA Airshows for 25 years and is recently back at it. He holds degrees in media from Syracuse University and The New School for Social Research. Mike is retired after 40 years as a college professor and Division Chair. He also sits on the board of the Museum at Bethel Woods, at the site of the original Woodstock concert. He lives with his wife, Karen, in western Sullivan County, NY.
Clay Hammond (Vice President, Chief Pilot) took his first airplane ride when he was just five weeks old on his mom's lap in the family J-3 Cub, flying out of Old Rhinebeck. Clay grew up at ORA while his parents worked for Cole Palen, and began flying vintage aircraft at an early age. A professional pilot and aviation salesman by trade, he has specialized in aircraft sales, ferry and delivery of aircraft new and old. He once delivered a YMF-5 WACO from Los Angeles to Atlanta in only two days, just to see what it was like to fly a Bendix Race. He says: "Cole Palen had a natural ability to empower others to do great things. His enthusiasm for vintage aircraft preservation was infectious and his special brand of "keep 'em flying" was central in kick starting the vintage aviation restoration movement." He credits Cole with an ability to entertain audiences with colorful characters, zany antics, and a comical story line, in the process providing an education that simply isn't taught anywhere else and showing the aircraft and vehicles in their natural environment. Preservation, education and teaching historical awareness through entertainment remains a cornerstone of the Aerodrome experience, and it is Clay's hope that he can help to ensure this for decades to come.
Knick Staley is a native son whose family has lived in Rhinebeck for six generations. His father, Homer Knickerbocker Staley Sr., brokered the sale of the farm to Cole Palen that became the Aerodrome in 1959. His personal involvement dates back to 1973 – 1980 when young Knick, as a 15-year member of the Rhinebeck – Red Hook Jaycees and director of the District and Regional New York State Jaycees, staffed and helped manage the concession stand at the Aerodrome for Cole and Rita Palen. His return to volunteer at the Aerodrome during the fall of 2011 was most welcome. "Knick" Staley is also a member of the Rhinebeck area Chamber of Commerce, past president of the Rhinebeck Rotary Club and served as president of both the Dutchess County Board of Realtors and Columbia/ Northern Dutchess Multiple Listing Service. Knick was named Realtor of the year in 2009. He served on the Rhinebeck Town Council 1992-1996 and is treasurer for the Rhinebeck Republican Committee. Knick is a U.S. Army veteran and retired from IBM after 30 years of service in 1993.
