MANI DI CHEF Is A Long Term Reportage of GaZ.
[abstract]
The craft of the Chef is a tiring job that gives moments of dream and extreme sensory and aesthetic pleasure to people. What's behind the evanescent scenes and the classic glossy food photos of dishes on “Michelin” restaurants tables, however, is often not enough known by insiders nor even by the clients of a restaurant in terms of craftsmanship and know-how.
Fascinated from mastery of these taste explorers and from their ability to compose dishes obtained after a long and hard research, I entered in their kitchens on tiptoe. The appearance of the realization of the dishes adds a component of perceptual enjoyment of the creativity of the Chef and allows the viewer to "interact" with the photographs in terms of empathy with the process of implementation of the dishes, as it has been for me that, discreetly, approached the reportage project.

Russian Embassy Vienna: History, Present and Mission
History
The embassy palace in Reisner street was erected in 1872-1873 on behalf of the well-to-do Viennese banker Israel Simon by the famous Austrian architect Alois Maria Wurm-Arnkreuz.
In 1874, the palace passed over to the Duke of Nassau and in 1891 the building was acquired by the then Russian ambassador, Prince Aleksej Lobanov-Rostovsky, for embassy purposes. Since that time, the Russian Diplomatic Mission (in the 20th century, also Soviet) in Austria has been here.
From 1893 to 1899, the Russian Orthodox Cathedral to Saint Nicholas was erected on the embassy premises.
In 1914, Russia and Austria as enemies entered into the First World War. The Russian diplomats were withdrawn from Vienna and the official relations were broken off. It was not until 1924, after long negotiations, that Austria and the young Soviet Union established diplomatic relations, and the Palais in the 3rd district of Vienna became again an embassy.
In 1938 the mission was dissolved again after the Anschluss of Austria to NS-Germany. In the years of the Second World War, in the building first was housed a shared accommodation of the "Hitler Youth" and later the Japanese Consulate General.
The Palais was badly damaged by two bomb hits. In April 1945, after the liberation of Vienna by the Red Army, a new stage began in the history of the Embassy.
Among many international events, a historical meeting between the head of government of the USSR, Nikita Khrushchev, and US President John F. Kennedy took place in this building in 1961.
In 1979, here also took place the negotiations between Leonid Brezhnev and Jimmy Carter which ended with the signing of the SALT 2 agreement (a limited number of strategic carrier rockets).
Present and mission
Today, as a hundred years ago, the Russian Embassy in Vienna represents the diplomatic interests of Russia in Austria and strives to promote the development of the traditional partnership and friendly cooperation between our two countries.
We are open to all positive ideas and initiatives whose realization can contribute to deepening Russian-Austrian bilateral contacts in various fields, from business and culture to sport.
Russische Botschaft Wien: Geschichte, Gegenwart und Mission
Geschichte
Das Botschaftspalais in der Reisnerstraße wurde 1872-1873 im Auftrag des wohlhabenden Wiener Bankiers Israel Simon vom berühmten österreichischen Architekten Alois Maria Wurm-Arnkreuz errichtet.
1874 ging das Palais an den Herzog von Nassau über und im Jahr 1891 wurde das Gebäude vom damaligen russischen Botschafter, Fürst Aleksej Lobanow-Rostowskij, für Botschaftszwecke erworben. Seit dieser Zeit befindet sich hier die russische (im 20. Jh. auch sowjetische) diplomatische Mission in Österreich.
1893-1899 wurde auf dem Botschaftsgelände die Russisch-Orthodoxe Kathedrale zum Heiligen Nikolaus errichtet.
1914 zogen Russland und Österreich als Gegner in den Ersten Weltkrieg. Die russischen Diplomaten wurden aus Wien abgezogen und die offiziellen Beziehungen abgebrochen. Erst 1924 nahmen nach langen Verhandlungen Österreich und die junge Sowjetunion diplomatische Beziehungen auf und das Palais im 3. Wiener Gemeindebezirk wurde wieder zur Botschaft.
1938 wurde die Mission nach dem Anschluss Österreichs an NS-Deutschland ein weiteres Mal aufgelöst. In den Jahren des Zweiten Weltkriegs waren im Gebäude zuerst eine Wohngemeinschaft der «Hitlerjugend» und später das japanische Generalkonsulat untergebracht.
Durch zwei Bombentreffer wurde das Palais schwer beschädigt. Im April 1945 begann nach der Befreiung Wiens durch die Rote Armee eine neue Etappe in der Geschichte der Botschaft.
Unter vielen internationalen Ereignissen fand 1961 in diesem Gebäude ein historisches Treffen zwischen dem Regierungschef der UdSSR, Nikita Chruschtschow, und dem US-Präsidenten John F. Kennedy statt.
1979 fanden hier auch die Verhandlungen zwischen Leonid Breschnew und Jimmy Carter statt, die mit der Unterzeichnung des SALT 2-Vertrages (zahlenmäßige Begrenzung von strategischen Trägerraketen) endeten.
Gegenwart und Mission
Heute, wie vor hundert Jahren, vertritt die Russische Botschaft Wien die diplomatischen Interessen Russlands in Österreich und bemüht sich, die Entwicklung der traditionell partnerschaftlichen und freundschaftlichen Zusammenarbeit zwischen unseren beiden Ländern zu fördern.
Wir sind offen für alle positiven Ideen und Initiativen, deren Verwirklichung zur Vertiefung der russisch-österreichischen bilateralen Kontakte in verschiedenen Bereichen, von Wirtschaft und Kultur bis zum Sport, beitragen kann.
Self Realization Fellowship, Meditation Gardens, Pacific Palisades(Santa Monica), California
Since its opening to the public in 1950 by Paramahansa Yogananda, the Lake shrine has inspired thousands of visitors each year, many of whom return again and again to refresh mind and spirit in the peace that pervades this beautiful sanctuary.
The ten-acre site is a natural amphitheater. The spring-fed lake has an average depth of 15 feet. Its waters are inhabited by numerous varieties of colorful Koi.
Out of respect to the meditating visitors in various sites throughout the grotto,
I have limited my photographs so as not to include these private moments. There are many beautiful cottages and lush hillside bench locations to photograph.
The Shrine is a quarter mile from the Pacific Ocean, it was a 72 mile freeway drive from my home.

n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.
Contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, it is the realization of how much God has already given you.

In the early 1950s, air forces around the world came to the realization that it made little sense to train pilots on older piston-engined trainers, then expect them to go from those aircraft to high-performance jets without a high accident rate. Most nations with an aviation industry then embarked on designing jet trainers and a training syllabus entirely with jets.
For the Soviet Union, it would not only need a jet trainer, it would need thousands of them, to equip not only its own air force, but those of the Warsaw Pact and client states. The Khrushchev regime learned that two of the Pact nations were working on their own trainers--Aero of Czechoslovakia was designing the L-29 Delfin (Dolphin), while PZL of Poland was working on the TS-11 Iskra (Spark). Surprisingly for the Soviet Union, it issued a requirement for the jet trainer and opened it up to a competition between the two aircraft.
Aero's L-29 was designed to be everything a trainer should be: easy to fly, easy to maintain, forgiving of mistakes, and capable of simple aerobatics. As Soviet doctrine called for aircraft capable of operating from austere airstrips, the L-29 was given a strengthened landing gear, and for either weapons training or in emergencies, could be equipped with four underwing hardpoints for bombs, rockets or gunpods. It was not particularly fast and considered underpowered, but that was less important in a trainer.
The L-29 would first fly in 1959, and went up against the TS-11 in 1961. To the surprise of many, considering the TS-11 was faster, the L-29 was declared the winner. Suspecting politics and wishing to keep some independence, the Polish Air Force would never use the Delfin, and would make the Iskra its primary jet trainer. For the rest of the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union, the L-29 would go into production. NATO would give it the reporting name of Maya.
Some 27 nations would eventually fly L-29s, as trainers, but occasionally in combat as well: Egyptian L-29s were pressed into service during the 1973 Yom Kippur (October) War as ground attack aircraft, and they were also used in the Biafran War of 1967-1970 and the First Nagorno-Karabakh War of 1988-1994 between Azerbaijan and Armenia. In these cases, the Delfin did not do well, but it was never intended to fight against modern air defenses. Saddam Hussein reportedly converted a number of his L-29s to drones, intended to carry poison gas towards Coalition forces in 2003, though they never flew.
While the L-29 was adequate, as aircraft got faster and more manueverable, the Delfin was becoming obsolete. In response, Aero designed the L-39 Albatros, a more advanced trainer, and L-29 production ended in 1974 after 3665 had been produced. Though most L-29 users replaced it with the L-39, some continued with the Delfin, and Angola and Georgia would use it as late as 2016. After the end of the Cold War, many Delfins became available on the open market, and while not as common as its Western equivalent--the T-33 Shooting Star--or its successor the L-39, L-29s are found in small numbers in the warbird community, and a few have raced in the Reno Air Races.
This L-29 entered service with the Soviet V-VS as Bort (nose number) 34 in 1971, and would remain in service until the mid-1980s; it was probably handed over to the paramilitary DOSAAF national flying clubs as the L-39 replaced the L-29 in Soviet service. In 1997, it was bought by a Colorado-based warbird collector, and flown out of Phoenix, Arizona for a time; in 2013, it was sold to Planes of Fame in Chino, California, joining another L-29 the museum already had.
For some reason, my camera just didn't want to get a picture of the aircraft in this single row outside of the main Planes of Fame buildings. This one turned out all right. Bort 34 retains the standard bare metal scheme of Soviet L-29s; the red stripe on the rear fuselage, red nose, and red wing panels is also common on L-29s. This was the first time I'd ever gotten up close to a Delfin.
There are two interesting background features of this photo as well: the tail of the QF-100D Super Sabre to the right, showing the damage done by an AIM-120 AMRAAM missile, and the nose of the B-50 to the left--that is "Lucky Lady II," the first aircraft to fly nonstop around the world.

University of the Future
Internationalism, innovation, diversity – the new Campus WU is the concrete realization of WU’s vision for a modern university. The fundamental principles of the new architecture reflect the values and ideas we cherish at WU.
As a public institution, WU has lived up to its responsibility of building its new campus in an economical, ecological, and socially sustainable manner. WU’s decision to locate the new campus in Vienna’s second district will redefine this area and transform it into an educational hub. We have not only constructed new buildings, but in the process we have also given concrete realization to our ideas of what the university of the future should look like. The new campus is more than just a place for academic research and teaching and learning practical skills; it is also designed to create a new space for social, cultural, and political life.
The imposing Library & Learning Center (LC), designed by the Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, is a testament to the central importance of research and teaching at WU. The Library & Learning Center is surrounded by five building complexes, including the Teaching Center, which houses most of WU’s auditoriums. The Teaching Center is intended mainly for bachelor degree students, while the master degree programs are taught primarily in the individual Department buildings. The Executive Academy building is the home of continuing education and life-long learning programs. In this way, the various buildings and their functions reflect the three tiers of teaching and learning represented by the Bologna Process.
WU’s Department-based organizational structure was also a contributing factor. In the past, the various Institutes that make up the Departments were scattered across different locations. Now they have been brought together in four Department buildings, which will make life much easier for both students and faculty.
These are not the only improvements the new campus has to offer: All rooms have natural light, and the auditoriums feature state-of-the-art teaching equipment, including digital whiteboards. There are 3,000 student workplaces, three times as many as in the old buildings in Vienna’s ninth district. These workplaces are located not only in the dedicated self-study areas, but also in project rooms that can be booked by teaching staff and students alike. They cater to different needs by providing quiet spots for focused academic work as well as opportunities for work on group projects in communicationfriendly study areas.
The top priority in planning the new campus was to create an environment for WU students and staff that is conducive to productive work and communication.
Not only the buildings themselves, but also the surrounding grounds offer plenty of opportunities for communication and meeting people. 55,000 m² of Campus WU’s total 100,000 m² of floor and surface area is open, publicly accessible space. Fences or barriers would contradict our vision of an open campus.
Visitors and area residents are more than welcome at Campus WU. The campus offers not only food for thought, but also restaurants, cafés, and shops, all in a stimulating architectural environment.
As different as they may look, however, the buildings are all based on the same overall technical concept: the building infrastructure is standardized in terms of construction, energy supply, ventilation, and sanitary facilities. The entire campus has been designed in accordance with “green building” principles. Much of the required energy is obtained using geothermal energy from groundwater.
Another key feature of Campus WU is barrier-free accessibility. All auditoriums are specially equipped for people with disabilities, all areas are designed to be wheelchair accessible, and the campus also features a tactile guidance system for the visually impaired.
We have not only made sure to comply with all relevant legal guidelines, but we have also drawn on experience gained from best practice examples. WU aims to play a pioneering role – in all respects.
