St. Michael's square
Until the 18th century there was no place but only a crossroads of today paths Carbon market-St. Michael's wing thoroughfare and Street of the Lords-Riding school alley. The first one was in the Roman period and even in the Middle Ages only an access road only reaching up to the crossing center (from Peiler gate over the Carbon market), which was after the expansion of the city in the late 12th century continued to the new Widmer gate (afterwards Castle gate) and now lay within the new curtain wall (the beginning of the trade route via the Mariahilf and Linz street towards west; west of the Carbon market arose the suburb At the Long Wall with Wallner street as an axis), the latter during the Roman period a portion of the Limes road. In the first half of the 13th century was founded (as the second parish church next to St. Stephan), the St. Michael's Church; the at the same time laid out Michaelerfreithof (cemetery) lay at the corner of Carbon market-Riding school alley; the other corners were formed by townhouses. In the last third of the 15th century the houses on the corner Riding school alley with (today's passage) through the St. Michael's wing were purchased by the Prince Regnant, on this area arose in the early 16th century as part of the Hofburg the imperial Lustgarten (later called Paradeisgarten - Paradise garden), which is already listed on Wolmuets map (1547). The conversion of the intersection into a square began with the construction of the Winter Riding School on the grounds of "Paradeisgartels - Paradise garden" (1729-1735), the Chancellery tract with the torso of the St. Michael's tract of the Hofburg (1723-30; inclusion of some opposite houses, construction then suspended and only at the end of the 19th century completed) and the Small St. Michael's house (1732-33) on a part of the abandoned cemetery (the "corners" of these buildings being withdrawn semicircularly or diagonally so that the square formation was made possible). The evolving itself from an older Ballhaus/Ballspielhaus (a building for playing ball games) old Burgtheater in the semicircle of the unfinished Michaeler tract of the Hofburg (from 1776 German National Theatre) gave the place a new emphasis. 1766 finds the label "Michaeler Platzl (the small one)", 1795 Michaelerplatz and 1848 (during the revolution) in the short term "Constitution Square". With the completion of the St. Michael's tract (1889-1893) which the old Hofburg Theater as well as some houses of leading over today's Place West line of the Carbon market (which had extended until over Schaufler alley) fell victim to the construction of the Herberstein Palace (1897) and the Loos house (1910), whose construction lines also had been retracted, the Michaelerplatz obtained its present appearance.

Michaelerplatz (1).
Bis ins 18. Jahrhundert gab es hier keinen Platz, sondern nur eine Straßenkreuzung der heutigen Trassen Kohlmarkt-Michaelertraktdurchfahrt und Herrengasse-Reitschulgasse. Erstere war in der Römerzeit und noch im Hochmittelalter eine nur bis zur Kreuzungsmitte reichende Zubringerstraße (vom Peilertor über den Kohlmarkt), die nach der Stadterweiterung am Ende des 12. Jahrhunderts bis zum neuen Widmertor (nachmals Burgtor) fortgesetzt wurde und nun innerhalb der neuen Ringmauer lag (Beginn der Fernhandelsstraße über die Mariahilfer und Linzer Straße nach Westen; westlich des Kohlmarkts entstand die Vorstadt An der langen Mauer mit der Wallnerstraße als Achse), letztere zur Römerzeit ein Teilstück der Limesstraße. In der ersten Hälfte des 13. Jahrhunderts wurde (als zweite Stadtpfarrkirche neben St. Stephan) die Michaelerkirche gegründet; der zur gleichen Zeit angelegte Michaelerfreithof lag an der Ecke Kohlmarkt-Reitschulgasse; die anderen Ecken wurden durch Bürgerhäuser gebildet. Im letzten Drittel des 15. Jahrhunderts wurden die Häuser an der Ecke der Reitschulgasse mit der (heutigen) Durchfahrt durch den Michaelertrakt vom Landesfürsten käuflich erworben; auf diesem Areal entstand im frühen 16. Jahrhundert als Teil der Hofburg der kaiserliche Lustgarten (später Paradeisgarten genannt), der bereits auf Wolmuets Stadtplan (1547) verzeichnet ist. Die Wandlung der Kreuzung in einen Platz begann mit der Erbauung der Winterreitschule auf dem Areal des "Paradeisgartels" (1729-1735), des Reichskanzleitrakts mit dem Torso des Michaelertrakts der Hofburg (1723-30; Einbeziehung einiger gegenüberliegender Häuser; Bau dann eingestellt und erst am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts vollendet) und des Kleinen Michaelerhauses (1732-33) auf einem Teil des aufgehobenen Friedhofs (wobei die "Ecken" dieser Gebäude halbkreisförmig beziehungsweise schräg zurückgenommen wurden, sodass die Platzbildung ermöglicht wurde). Das sich aus einem älteren Ballhaus entwickelte (alte) Burgtheater im Halbrund des unfertigen Michaelertrakts der Hofburg (ab 1776 Deutsches Nationaltheater) gab dem Platz einen neuen Akzent. 1766 findet sich die Bezeichnung "Michaelerplatzl", 1795 Michaelerplatz und 1848 (während der Revolution) kurzfristig "Constitutionsplatz". Mit der Vollendung des Michaelertrakts (1889-1893), dem das alte Hofburgtheater sowie einige Häuser der bis über den heutigen Platz führenden Westzeile des Kohlmarkts (die sich bis über die Schauflergasse hingezogen hatte) zum Opfer fielen, dem Bau des Herbersteinpalais (1897) und des Looshauses (1910), deren Baulinien ebenfalls zurückgenommen wurden, erhielt der Michaelerplatz seine heutige Gestalt.

From ESPNU - Westchester (Los Angeles, Calif.) 55, St. Anthony (Jersey City, N.J.) 51..In a fast-paced game with acrobatic plays and more turnovers than veteran coaches Ed Azzam of Westchester and Bob Hurley Sr. of St. Anthony would have liked, it was the Comets' defense that led the way to victory. St. Anthony go-to player Derrick Williams had a chance to give the Friars a lead after tying the game at 46 on a conventional three-point play opportunity. Williams, however, missed the free throw and after St. Anthony (11-2) secured the rebound, Westchester's Dwayne Polee Jr. came up with a blocked shot that led to a conventional three-point play by Kareem Jamar and changed the game's momentum...Polee led a strong Westchester (15-2) defensive effort with two blocks, two rebounds and eight points. Jamar, who finished with a team-high 17 points, picked up the slack for leading scorer Jordin Mayes, who fouled out with 4:08 remaining in the fourth. Westchester also got a nice lift off the bench from Robert Gsellman. The junior finished with seven boards and made a clutch free throw to put the Comets up by two possessions (50-46). Following Gsellman's free throw, Jamar sealed the game with an acrobatic coast-to-coast layup between two Friar defenders...Williams, a Richmond recruit, scored a game-high 21 points and grabbed seven rebounds for St. Anthony.

Water Protectors stand and watch as authors in the distance move in to push them back. The public witnessed a new level of escalation on October 27, 2016 in the Native struggle at Standing Rock, as police swept through an encampment in the direct path of the Dakota Access pipeline (DAPL). The resulting standoff with the National Guard, and police officers from various states, led to more than 100 arrests. Advancing authorities attacked Water Protectors with flash grenades, bean bag launchers, pepper spray and Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs). It is crucial that people recognize that Standing Rock is part of an ongoing struggle against colonial violence. The Dakota Access pipeline (#NoDAPL) is a front of struggle in a long-erased war against Native peoples -- a war that has been active since first contact, and waged without interruption.

The Smithsonian Center for Learning and Digital Access will host the State Teachers of the Year May 2, 2016 for a day of professional learning focused on using digital museum resources with students in creative and innovative ways. These exemplary teachers represent the best in the profession in each state, U.S. extra-state territories, the District of Columbia and the Department of Defense Education Activity. For 10 years, the center has worked closely with the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) to bring the annual “Teacher of the Year Day at the Smithsonian” event to life as part of CCSSO’s National Teacher of the Year program.
This year’s event, sponsored by Annenberg Learner, features a series of hands-on, collaborative sessions for teachers throughout the Smithsonian. The professional development workshops demonstrate how teachers can use the museums’ digital resources available in the Smithsonian Learning Lab with their students to improve engagement and learning. Following the event, Teachers of the Year can continue their work with the center to advise on and co-develop instructional resources, including creating model collections in the Learning Lab for other educators to use and adapt to fit their needs.
