After the completion of music there is a huge surge of fans exiting the venue. In a well rehearsed operation between Dublin Bus, An Garda Siochana and M.C.D. the operation flows very well and this year went without a hitch, despite the apalling weather conditions. Vital to this operation is a continual feed of buses,they are fed down an internal road from a car park, loaded up to five at a time, to be replaced by five more. 120 buses were in place when the festival came to an end on Saturday, day trippers, and those whom choose to go home and freshen up had no longer to wait than ten minutes, impressive by any standard, as 22,000 people turn up in a very short space of time
Life in Vienna underground
Life in Vienna underground began with the establishment of the Vienna sewer late 19th century, which became a refuge for unemployed and homeless. This was possible because the sewage system always has been largely walkable, even if this is not permissible for unauthorized persons. Against the rising number of shelter seekers eventually the police was involved.
Setting conditions
The completion of the Vienna sewer system fell in a time when Vienna was a rapidly expanding city. The rising job offer attracted a variety of people, of which, however, actually not all could not find work. Social Services as unemployment benefits or health insurance did not yet exist, nor were there homeless shelters or residences, and so the number of beggars and other people who had to live on the streets rose rapidly.
In the Vienna Sewer some people therefore quickly realised a new source of income and property. In heavy rain or thunderstorms, however, drains for inexperienced can become a deadly trap. The development of toxic or explosive gas mixtures (incoming gasoline etc.) can not be excluded too. The "terrible" or even "bestial stench" that is sometimes reported, however, does not prevail there. Even where faecal matter transporting water flows it smells more like in a wet basement, but it does not stink. Nevertheless, the unsecured stay in the sewers is perilous.
The marked by special detail and by lengthy search made on site, image-assisted social reports of Viennese journalists Max Winter and Emil Kläger this problem a large part of the population of Vienna made known and attracted great interest. 1905, Max Winter published his Social Reports from the Vienna underground under the title "In the underground Vienna" in book form. 1920 appeared, based on the social reportages of Emil Kläger, the documentary "Night Piece from the life of vagrants, derailed and fallen man" in Viennese cinemas. Both the newspaper reports and the book and the film are among the first social reports at all.
Sewer as livelihoods
Residents of the Vienna sewer in 1900, under a spiral staircase.
The access ways to the sewer were and are, among other things, housed in so-called "towers" that look like oversized advertising columns. Over spiral staircases one can by these descend into the Viennese "Underworld". Approximately 50 jobless and homeless people, but probably even more, spent a large part of each day with the fishing out of objects from the waste water, the so-called "Strotten". This "Strotters", as they were called soon earned their livelihood partly
by finding coins and jewelry, which though rarely occurred, but especially much earned,
by fishing out of bones and fat for sale at soap factories or
by getting out of all sorts of other useful articles.
Some of these Strotters - but also hundreds of "ordinary" homeless people - even lived in the sewers were they in some passages, chambers and air shafts found opportunities for "lving".
Shelters
The probably most well-known accommodation for the homeless and Strotters was the Zwingburg installed in a dry chamber under the Vienna Schwarzenberg sqaure. The name not least is based on the fact that it could only be reached by a drawn board, which had to be placed over a channel and at any time could be retracted. So even the police in the short run could be prevented from entering. In addition, the "fortress" Zwingburg had several escape routes in the form of side channels and shafts.
Police pursuit
Although the stay of unauthorized persons in the sewers, of course, was not allowed, the police but apprehended Strotters and homeless people could not too long detain. The number of homeless people and Strotters only diminished when in 1934 the "channel Brigade" was established, which should proceed harder not only against criminal gangs but also against vagabonds. In the meantime, also hostels for the homeless and dormitories had arisen that at least for a part of the "canal residents" could offer a reasonable alternative", such as the Meldemann street men's hostel, which became known due to the fact that Adolf Hitler three years spent here.
Today's meaning
Apart from World War II and the postwar period, as Allied secret agents drains of the divided city knew how to exploit them for themselves, upon which the film "The Third Man" is based plays the drains today due to many social institutions whose establishment with social democratic governments in the "Red Vienna " have their beginning as a refuge no significant role anymore. The latest newspaper reports about Strotters stem from the late 1950s, the term and the with it associated activities, however, at that time still a large part of the population of Vienna were known.
Leben im Wiener Untergrund
Das Leben im Wiener Untergrund begann mit der Errichtung der Wiener Kanalisation Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts, die zur Zuflucht für Arbeits- und Obdachlose wurde. Möglich war dies, weil die Kanalisation seit jeher weitgehend begehbar ist, auch wenn dies aus Sicherheitsgründen für Unbefugte verboten ist. Gegen die steigende Zahl der Unterschlupfsuchenden wurde schließlich polizeilich vorgegangen.
Rahmenverhältnisse
Die Fertigstellung der Wiener Kanalisation fiel in eine Zeit, als Wien eine stark expandierende Stadt war. Das steigende Arbeitsplatzangebot zog eine Vielzahl von Menschen an, von denen jedoch nicht alle tatsächlich auch Arbeit finden konnten. Soziale Fürsorge wie Arbeitslosengeld oder Krankenversicherung gab es damals noch nicht, ebenso wenig gab es Obdachlosenunterkünfte oder Wohnheime, und so stieg die Zahl von Bettlern und anderen Menschen, die auf der Straße leben mussten, rasant an.
In der Wiener Kanalisation erkannten einige Menschen daher schnell eine neue Einkommensquelle und Unterkunft. Bei starkem Regen oder Gewittern kann die Kanalisation allerdings für Unerfahrene zur tödlichen Falle werden. Auch die Entwicklung giftiger oder explosiver Gasgemische (einlaufendes Benzin etc.) ist nicht auszuschließen. Der „enorme“ oder gar „bestialische Gestank“ von dem manchmal berichtet wird, herrscht dort jedoch nicht. Selbst wo Fäkalien transportierendes Wasser fließt, riecht es eher wie in einem feuchten Keller, aber es stinkt nicht. Trotzdem ist der ungesicherte Aufenthalt in der Kanalisation lebensgefährlich.
Die durch besondere Ausführlichkeit gekennzeichneten und durch langwierige Recherchen vor Ort entstandenen, bildunterstützten Sozialreportagen der Wiener Journalisten Max Winter und Emil Kläger machten diese Problematik einem großen Teil der Wiener Bevölkerung bekannt und stießen auf großes Interesse. 1905 brachte Max Winter seine Sozialreportagen aus dem Wiener Untergrund unter dem Titel „Im unterirdischen Wien“ in Buchform heraus. 1920 erschien, basierend auf den Sozialreportagen Emil Klägers, der Dokumentarfilm „Nachtstück aus dem Leben der Vaganten, der Entgleisten und Gestürzten“ in den Wiener Kinos. Sowohl die Zeitungsreportagen als auch das Buch und der Film zählen zu den ersten Sozialreportagen überhaupt.
Kanalisation als Lebensgrundlage
Bewohner der Wiener Kanalisation um 1900, unter einer Wendeltreppe.
Die Zugänge zur Kanalisation waren und sind unter anderem in so genannten „Türmen“ untergebracht, die wie übergroße Litfaßsäulen aussehen. Über Wendeltreppen kann man durch diese in die Wiener „Unterwelt“ absteigen. Um die 50 Stellen- und Obdachlose, vermutlich aber noch mehr, verbrachten einen großen Teil jedes Tages mit dem Herausfischen von Gegenständen aus den Abwässern, dem so genannten „Strotten“. Diese „Strotter“, wie man sie bald nannte, verdienten ihren Lebensunterhalt teilweise
durch das Finden von Münzen und Schmuck, was zwar eher selten vorkam, aber besonders viel einbrachte,
durch das Herausfischen von Knochen und Fett zum Verkauf an Seifenfabriken oder
durch das Herausholen von allerlei anderen brauchbaren Gegenständen.
Einige dieser Strotter – aber auch mehrere hundert „gewöhnliche“ Obdachlose – lebten sogar in der Kanalisation, wo sie in manchen Gängen, Kammern und Luftschächten Möglichkeiten zum „Wohnen“ vorfanden.
Unterschlüpfe
Die wohl bekannteste Unterkunft für Obdachlose und Strotter war die in einer trockenen Kammer eingerichtete „Zwingburg“ unter dem Wiener Schwarzenbergplatz. Der Name rührte nicht zuletzt daher, dass sie nur durch ein Brett, welches über einen Kanal gelegt werden musste und jederzeit eingezogen werden konnte, zu erreichen war. So konnte selbst die Polizei kurzfristig vom Eindringen abgehalten werden. Zudem verfügte die „Zwingburg“ über mehrere Fluchtwege in Form von Seitenkanälen und -schächten.
Polizeiliche Verfolgung
Zwar war der Aufenthalt von Unbefugten in der Kanalisation natürlich nicht gestattet, die Polizei konnte aufgegriffene Strotter und Obdachlose aber nicht allzu lange festhalten. Die Zahl der Strotter und Obdachlosen nahm erst ab, als 1934 die „Kanalbrigade“ gegründet wurde, die nicht nur gegen kriminelle Banden, sondern auch gegen Vagabunden härter vorgehen sollte. In der Zwischenzeit waren auch Obdachlosen- und Wohnheime entstanden, die zumindest für einen Teil der „Kanalbewohner“ eine vernünftige Alternative bieten konnten, so zum Beispiel das Männerwohnheim Meldemannstraße, das dadurch bekannt wurde, dass Adolf Hitler hier drei Jahre verbrachte.
Heutige Bedeutung
Abgesehen vom Zweiten Weltkrieg und der Nachkriegszeit, als alliierte Geheimagenten die Kanalisation der geteilten Stadt für sich zu nutzen wussten, worauf auch der Film „Der dritte Mann“ aufbaut, spielt die Kanalisation heute aufgrund zahlreicher sozialer Einrichtungen, deren Errichtung im sozialdemokratisch regierten „Roten Wien“ ihren Anfang nahm, als Zufluchtsort keine nennenswerte Rolle mehr. Die letzten Zeitungsberichte über Strotter stammen aus den späten 1950er Jahren, der Begriff und die mit ihm verbundene Tätigkeit waren aber damals noch einem Großteil der Wiener Bevölkerung bekannt.
The Shard building is almost complete. And here it is six days later under much better lighting conditions.
The Maryland National Guard Freestate Challenge Academy held their course completion ceremony for the 22 week residency phase for 107 cadets of class #45 at the Aberdeen Proving Ground’s post theater on Saturday, Dec., 12.
The Academy is a two-phased 17-month intervention program for underemployed, drug-free, “at-risk” high school dropouts from the state of Maryland between 16-18 years of age. Following graduation from the resident phase, the cadets are mentored for an additional 12 months, during which time they are placed into jobs, continue their higher education, or vocational trades training or enter the military.
“Whether you realize it or not, you have turned a major corner on this journey called life,” said Lt. Governor Boyd Rutherford the keynote speaker to the cadets. “You have been exposed to things and learned lessons of life that will keep you in good stead for the rest of your lives if you have the discipline to observe them.”
The mission of the Academy is to intervene in and reclaim the lives of at-risk youth and to produce graduates with the values, skills, education and self-discipline needed to succeed as adults.
The students were brought into a structured and highly disciplined quasi-military academic setting that builds confidence and self-esteem to become productive and contributing members of our society. Cadets attend academic classes to prepare them for the test for the General Education Development (GED) credential and Maryland High School Diploma. The program is currently funded by National Guard Bureau and the State of Maryland (75/25 percent split).
This year marked the 22nd anniversary of the program and has been another extremely successful year for the academy. More than 4,000 cadets have graduated since the Academy’s beginning in 1993.

Abraham building - architecture: Raimund Abraham; commencement of construction: 2006; completion of the front: 2013. In the middle of the 1990er years Raimund Abraham (1933-2010) visited Hombroich. The building should take up a chamber music hall, a Tonstudio and a music library beside living and exercise areas for musicians and composers. Abrahams tendency with the draft of the building was it to create an architecture which approaches in the shaping of the sculpture. The steeply bent roof seems to float like a disk over the building. The philosophy of the draft is a circle with a written equilateral triangle. A point of the triangle points to the tower of the rocket station.
The Hombroich Missile Base is part of the visionary project of collector Karl-Heinrich Müller to turn a "neglected corner of the earth" in North-Rhine Westphalia into a unique synthesis of art and nature. After the development of the Museum Insel Hombroich, he bought the 13 hectares of land of a former NATO base in 1994. Not marked on any map, this area served defence purposes and the storage of cruise missile warheads and Pershing rockets. In 1992/93 it was mothballed as a result of the disarmament agreements between the NATO states and the former USSR. The overall concept, developed by Karl-Heinrich Müller, Erwin Heerich, Oliver Kruse and Katsuhito Nishikawa between 1994 and 1995, was not to completely eradicate the history of the location but to provide it with a new face and purpose. Military elements like barbed wire fences, spotlight systems and bullet-proof glass were removed. The halls, hangars, bunker systems, earth berms and observation tower were preserved, renovated and, in part, redesigned. New buildings by Heerich and Nishikawa complemented the existing ensemble, as did sculptures by Heinz Baumüller, Mark di Suvero, and Eduardo Chillida, among others. Tadao Ando's big arch, today's entrance to the Langen Foundation, was realized in 1998/99 as one of the first buildings serving as a portal to the missile base.

At the completion of an oil well, the drillers fill the space around the drill casing with concrete. Then they lower this gadget (the holes visible here have shaped explosive charges in them) into the hole, then set off the charges. They do this at the depths at which they found hydrocarbons during the drilling process.
