A re-shoot of a pic from a couple of years ago. Why? I don't know, why not?
During the "credit crunch" loads of boats moored up just off Falmouth, they had been seized in the British courts after their owners went bust or just had no work. The rent in the sea around Falmouth is pretty low so at one point in the summer one of my friends saw 18 ships at once. Now most of them are off again- strangely they seem to set sail while I am taking photo's - this happened earlier in January on another shoot as well.
This was taken from Swanpool- I was trying to get a shot of the snow on the beach but the snow looked rubbish when I got the shots on my computer- so I cropped it out.
It looks much better large on black

Here are some new economics titles that have been purchased over the past couple of months. Place your cursor over a book's cover to receive more information. Click on the "Check for availability" link in the note to see a book's status in the Library's online catalog.
It started off as giving him the good news that off work for a fortnight... but he didn't understand the concept... so a short chat about the nature of economics, and I got this look.

My Uni staircase project: this one looking down from the top of the economics staircase - so far it's the largest staircase i've photographed in this series.
Last evening, in George Square, Channel 4 News's economics editor Paul Mason gives his analysis of the situation here in Glasgow.
The atmosphere in Scotland has been electrifying in recent months: politics is being talked about at every bar, every dinner party, damn near every street corner and, for the first time in my life, there is something like an informed electorate on this island. The people have tasted something of the power they deserve, and we know what it's like to have hope again. I believe that when I cast my vote tomorrow it will be one of the most important things I've ever done, and I'll be voting YES, but I'm going to be in tears whichever way it goes.
My main reasons for voting yes are explained with more intelligence and flair than I have in this article: www.monbiot.com/2014/09/02/someone-elses-story/
For the economic facts to support my decision, see this article: bellacaledonia.org.uk/2014/09/16/a-risk-assessment-for-fu...
However you vote tomorrow, please do your research, and arrive at your decision through thought and analysis.
Change is coming. Hope over fear.

I have come to the end of recent photos so I return to my covid series. Vaccination has helped the UK return to an air of some sort of normality even if the effects of Brexit and shortages leave the future uncertain - more importantly, covid cases are amongst the highest in Europe. Life is a bit like the wind having been blowing strongly in one direction (neo-liberal economics) only for it to have dropped and sails flap idly while the ship of state scratches its head in the face of climate change and a sense of being marooned. Chairmanship of COP26 reminded one of the UK's duplicity as it wants to dig for coal and extract oil.
The history of the WU
Foundation
The Vienna University of Economics was over 100 years ago, on 1 October 1898, founded in the former Palais Festetics. Today we would this training center probably call "College of exports". But even then they had a sounding name for the new institution of higher learning ready, namely "k.k. Export Academy". This should provide a comprehensive education for the commercial activity in foreign trade. Were taught in a one-year preparatory course and two following vintages, quite modern looking subjects: foreign languages, economics, some commercial subjects, economic geography, public law, private law, merchandise knowledge.
The University of World Trade
Since the building soon proved to be too small in the mountain street (Berggasse
), it was decided the construction of a new building at the edge of the park Waehringer (Währingerpark) already before the outbreak of the First World War. In 1916 could be moved to the new place to stay. Even in the monarchy, there have been efforts to grant the Export Academy legally the rank of university.
Immediately after the end of the war and the founding of the Republic, it was done: in 1919 it was transformed into the State "University of World Trade", now with sechssemestriger (six semester) study period. The first two terms were mainly devoted to commercial scientific preparation, the following four served to the thorough training for international trade and banking business - with the disciplines of economics, law and business studies. The graduate/inn/s (male and female ones!) were awarded the academic degree of Diplom businessman (businesswoman). The right to award doctorates (Doctor of Commercial Science) received the university after long efforts in 1930, which immediately impinged on an increase in the number of Inskribierenden (matriculated students).
The time from 1939
Even the World Trade University was not spared by the Nazi regime. Immediately after the connection to the German Reich, German laws and regulations were introduced. Especially the "non-Aryan listener (male and female ones)" were affected. They had to leave the university immediately. Also, all teachers who represented a different political opinion or were "non-Aryans", were not allowed to teach at the university. Instead of eliminated teachers came professors from German universities, but also scientists from Austria loyal to the regime were appointed to the faculty.
From the winter semester 1939 there was a separate German study regulation. Under the new curriculum the study lasted six semesters now, in this period, however, you had to complete only one diploma. This was composed of General and Special Business Administration, Economics, Law, and an elective. The during the war acquired academic titles were recognized even after the Nazi period.
After the end of the "German Reich" the faculty of the University of Economics was greatly reduced. Not less than 60 Professor/inn/s (m/f), Assistant/inn/s (m/f), lecturers and civil servants/officials had to resign in the course of "denazification", and the previously appointed professors from Germany/inn/s (m/f) went back.
Reintroduction of the Austrian study regulations from 1946/4
With winter semester 1946/47, they returned to the old Austrian study order with numerous test subjects. Especially had again become mandatory to attend two foreign languages, which during the war was based on a voluntary basis. By the students but the curriculum of the "German Reich" was preferred because this was easier.
From 1948 the college again obtained additional professorships and research institutes. It took until 1966 before the World Trade University as the only academic training ground for business economists got domestic competition. In the same year, as the "old-style grand coalition" came to an end, social science and economics degree programs have been established by academic reform in several Austrian universities. From then on the World Trade University oversaw four disciplines: the scientific trade, which in respect for tradition continued only at the "World Trade" to be established, and moreover, the business economical, the economical and educational economic study. The now eight-semester degree program graduated with a master's, doctoral studies with the doctor of social sciences and economics. The third change of name of the university happend in the course of the Universitätsneuorganisation (reorganization of the university) 1975. The "University of Economics" has been renamed "Vienna University of Economics".
Rapid increase in student numbers
For more than two decades, dominates the rapid increase in the number of students the fate of the Austrian Universities in general and of the reorganized Vienna University of Economics in particular. The thereby occuring space problem let tackle the plan of the construction of an additional building. Intended extensions to the old World Trade buildings had rapidly proved inadequate.
Finally, the now WU (Wirtschaftsuniversität) moved into a new building that was built above the freight station of the Vienna Franz Josef station (Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof), in the University Center Althanstraße. The new building provided the "Board of Trustees to promote the Vienna University of Economics", that club, who had built the old building on Währingerpark. The new university complex will be transferred to its ownership by the end of the lease between trustees and federation.
Since the building was designed for 9,000 students, but there were already 9,863 at the moving in, homes for academic units had to be rented after completion again. In the nineties, the number of student/inn/s (male and female ones) stabilized at more than 20,000. Does one include the teaching and administrative staff as well as the extraordinary listener (m/f), are now to count in the building of the Vienna University of Economics up to 25,000 people.
Legislative amendment and curriculum reform
In 1997, the implementation of the new University Organisation Act (UOG '93) brought to the WU a large internal reorganization. The universities were given more autonomy and thus their own statutes, the decisions were decentralized. At the WU was shifted to a new legislation on university studies and founded a separate research centre. The Rector will be chosen according to UOG'93 for four years and also has more leeway. The Rector, which at the WU is assisted by four Vice Rectors (male and female ones), is to the equal representation, by the University Assembly chosen University College responsible. This in turn acts as the supreme gremial instance of the University. All personnel decisions, including the appointment of Professor/inn/s (m/f), now fall under the competence of the University itself. Since the academic year 1996/97, the University of Economics can apply all the rules based on the upon new statutes by it decided, as in the UOG'93 are provided. Thus, the WU entered shortly before its 100th Birthday into a new phase of its history.
Mid-2005, it was unanimously decided to switch to the internationally compatible three-cycle degree system and thus become more attractive for foreign students as well. As from the winter semester 2006/ 07 the WU therefore offers instead of the previous diploma programs the two master's programs economic and social sciences (study branches with the business management, international business administration, computer science and business economics) as well as business law. In addition, in the course of the next year are specialized Master programs offered. As a complement to the existing research-intensive doctoral studies PhD programs are included in the offer of the WU.
The new challenge: autonomy for universities
Probably the most massive changes in the Austrian university system came to the WU from the winter semester 2003/04. With the so-called "autonomy", which is regulated in the Universities Act 2002, the WU received a completely new legal system with highly enlarged margins for maneuver.
The wide range of economic subjects as well as the international focus of research and teaching shall strengthen the position of the WU as one of the leading economic research universities in Europe in the future, too.
The introduction of Bachelor and Master studies at WU
The European university scenery is changing. In the framework of the Bologna process, the different study systems are unified. From 2010 within the European Union it should give a common tripartite study architecture with the degrees Bachelor - PhD - Master.
The WU changed in October 2006 the entire study offer to the Bologna system and introduced two bachelor studies - Economic and social sciences, and business law. The graduate studies (master's programs) expire with this. The introduction of the master's programs begin in the fall of 2007.
Prestigious award for the WU: the AACSB accreditation
In February 2007, the WU was awarded the prestigious EQUIS quality label (European Quality Improvement System) accredited by the Agency EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development).
The EQUIS accreditation is the highest ever international award for the WU, which as the first Austrian University penetrates in the group of EQUIS - accredited universities. A circle, in which only three German-speaking universities are included (University of Mannheim, WHU Otto Beisheim School of Management, University of St. Gallen).
