Austrian theatre and film actor Ferdinand Marian (1902-1946) is best known for playing the leading character of Joseph Süß Oppenheimer in the notorious Nazi propaganda film Jud Süß (1940).
Ferdinand Marian was born as Ferdinand Haschkowetz in Vienna in 1902. His father was a bass player and his mother an opera singer. Marian turned to the stage early, though he never attended any drama classes. He ran away from home and abandoned his studies as an engineer to work as an theatre extra. He started his career at the Stadttheater in Graz and later he was employed at the Münchener Kammerspiele. In 1938 he joined the ensemble of the Deutsches Theater in Berlin, where he was acclaimed for his performance as Iago in Shakespeare's Othello. In 1933, Marian made his film debut as an agitator in the Sci-Fi film Der Tunnel/The Tunnel (Kurt Bernhardt a.k.a. as Curtis Bernhardt, 1933) starring Paul Hartmann. From then on, he appeared in more films, including Ein Hochzeitstraum/A Wedding Dream (Erich Engel, 1936) with Ida Wüst, Die Stimme des Herzens/The Voice of the Heart (Karl Heinz Martin, 1937) starring Beniamino Gigli, and Madame Bovary (Gerhard Lamprecht, 1937), at the side of the legendary silent film star Pola Negri. He had his breakthrough starring together with Zarah Leander in the UFA melodrama La Habanera/Cheated by the Wind (Detlef Sierck a.k.a. Douglas Sirk, 1937). His role as Don Pedro added to his image as an adorable but devious womanizer. The following years he starred as elegant villains and ladykillers in such films as the adventure Nordlich/Northern lights (Herbert B. Fredersdorf, 1938) opposite René Deltgen, the crime film Der Vierte kommt nicht/The Fourth is not (Max W. Kimmich, 1939), and the anti-British propaganda film Der Fuchs von Glenarvon/The Fox of Glenarvon (Max W. Kimmich, 1940) with Olga Tschechowa. As Thomas Staedeli writes at Cyranos, his parts were pinned down to villains, a cliché which would determine his destiny.
Ferdinand Marian's shining career would be overshadowed by his appearance as the title character in the notorious anti-Semitic Jud Süß/Jew Süss (Veit Harlan, 1940). This film, made under the supervision of Nazi Propaganda Minister Dr. Josef Goebbels, is widely considered to be one of the most hateful depictions of Jews in film. Jud Süss is very loosely based on the historical personage of Josef Süss Oppenheimer who, in the early-18th century became a financial adviser to Duke Karl Alexander of Württemberg, with the authority to collect taxes. This, naturally, did not endear him to the Duke's subjects. When Karl Alexander suddenly died, Süss was put on trial and was hanged. Several film stars had rejected the title role in the film, including Emil Jannings who had stated he was too old and too fat for the role. For a year Marian also refused to play the part, but he was afraid of the public humiliation that he might have to faced if he continued to refuse and Goebbels eventually talked him into it. According to Androom Archives: “Marian returned to his apartment, got drunk and smashed his furniture, but there was no escape anymore.” Marian’s depiction of Süss followed Nazi propaganda stereotypes of Jews as being materialistic, immoral, cunning and untrustworthy. However, he gave a well-acted, multi-layered performance, which ultimately contributed to the film's convincibility. In his excellent review of Jud Süss on Film Reference, Josef Škvorecký writes: “One of the paradoxes of this sinister film is how many participants in the violently racist project had either Jewish spouses or relatives, were disciples of Jewish artists and known friends or Jews, or had been—before the Nazi takeover—left-leaning intellectuals, even communists (such as Heinrich George, who eventually died in a Soviet concentration camp). Thus (...) Ferdinand Marian, who played the title role, had a half-Jewish daughter from his first marriage. His second wife Maria Byk had been married to a jew (the director Julius Gellner), whom Marian hid in his house.” Jud Süss was seen by more than twenty million people and sealed Marian’s fate.
Ferdinand Marian appeared in a third propaganda film, Ohm Krüger/Uncle Kruger (Hans Steinhoff, 1941) opposite Emil Jannings who played the historical president of the Transvaal and leader of the Boers during the Boer War. In 1943. Marian appeared in the non-political romantic drama Romanze in Moll/Romance in a Minor Key (Helmut Käutner, 1943) about a love triangle with Marianne Hoppe and Paul Dahlke. That year he also starred as Cagliostro in the lavish fantasy spectacle Münchhausen/Baron Munchhausen (Josef von Báky, 1943) featuring Hans Albers. Other films in which he appeared during the war years were Reise in die Vergangenheit/ Travel into the past (Hans H. Zerlett, 1943), Freunde/Friends (E. W. Emo, 1944) and Die Nacht der 12/The Night of the Twelve (Hans Schweikart, 1945). After the war he fled to Austria, but he wasn't allowed to continue his career. In 1946 he seemed to get another chance when he was invited to play in Weimar. But he was warned by the Americans and hesitated to come. Ferdinand Marian died in a road accident in 1946 near the village of Dürneck (today part of Freising) in Bavaria, probably driving under the influence. It is said that he was on his way to Munich with a borrowed car to collect denazification papers that with the permission by US film officer Eric Pleskow would allow him to work again, having celebrated this news just beforehand. Other sources suggest that the accident was suicide. In 1949, soon after the trial of Veit Harlan, Marian's widow Maria Byk was found drowned in Hamburg. The 2010 film Jud Süss - Film ohne Gewissen/Jew Suss: Rise and Fall (Oskar Roehler, 2010) portrayed the production process of Jud Süß with Marian (played by Tobias Moretti) as the central character. It was nominated for the Golden Bear at the 60th Berlin International Film Festival, although the film received poor reviews in Germany, reproached with factual inaccuracies, clichés and stereotypical characters.

British card. Photo: London. Paul Robeson as Bosambo in Sanders of the River (Zoltan Korda, 1935).
Paul Robeson (1898-1976) was a handsome, eloquent, and highly charismatic actor and singer, who became one of the foremost interpreters of Eugene O'Neill's plays and one of the most treasured names in song during the first half of the twentieth century. With his powerful bass singing voice, Robeson made an evergreen of the song 'Old Man River'. He starred in The Emperor Jones (1933), the first film to feature an African American in a starring role. At the height of his popularity in the 1930s, Robeson became a major box office attraction in British films. In the USA, he courted disdain and public controversy for most of his career as a staunch Cold War-era advocate for human rights, as well as his very vocal support for Joseph Stalin and the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956. While the backlash of his civil rights activities and left-wing ideology left him embittered and practically ruined his career, he remains today a durable symbol of racial pride and consciousness.
Paul LeRoy Bustill Robeson was born in Princeton, New Jersey, in 1898. His siblings were William, Benjamin, Reeve, and Marian Robeson. Their father, William Drew Robeson, was a humble Presbyterian minister and former slave. In 1900, a disagreement between William and white financial supporters of the Witherspoon church arose with apparent racial undertones. William, who had the support of his entirely black congregation, resigned in 1901. The loss of his position forced him to work menial jobs. The young, impressionable Paul grew up singing spirituals in his father's church. He was only six when he and his four siblings, William, Benjamin, Reeve, Marian, lost their mother, Maria Louisa Bustill, a schoolteacher. She was nearly blind and died in a stove fire accident at home. His father then raised the family singlehandedly. Paul was a natural athlete and the tall, strapping high school fullback had no trouble earning a scholarship to prestigious Rutgers University in 1915. At the age of 17, he became only the third member of his race to be admitted at the time. He excelled in football, baseball, basketball, and track, and field, and was the class valedictorian. In his speech, he was already preaching idealism. Paul subsequently played professional football to earn money while attending Columbia University's law school, and also took part in amateur dramatics. During this time he met and married Eslanda Cardozo Goode in 1921. She eventually became his personal assistant. Following graduation, he obtained work at a New York law firm, but quit when a stenographer refused to copy a memo, telling him, "I never take diction from a n*****." His wife persuaded him to play Simon in Ridgely Torrence's 'Simon the Cyrenian' at the Harlem YMCA in 1921. This was followed by his Broadway debut the following year as Jim in Mary Hoyt Wiborg's play 'Taboo', a drama set in Africa, which also went to London. As a result, he was asked to join the Provincetown Players, a Greenwich Village theatre group that included in its membership playwright Eugene O'Neill. Gary Brumburgh at IMDb: "O'Neill personally asked Paul to star in his plays 'All God's Chillun Got Wings' and 'The Emperor Jones' in 1924. The reaction from both critics and audiences alike was electrifying...an actor was born." In 1925, he sang the first concert recital consisting solely of black spirituals, at the Greenwich Village Theatre in New York. That year, he also made his film debut starring in Body and Soul (Oscar Micheaux, 1925). Gary Brumburgh: "a rather murky melodrama that nevertheless was ahead of its time in its depictions of black characters. Although Robeson played a scurrilous, corrupt clergyman who takes advantage of his own people, his dynamic personality managed to shine through." Radio and recordings helped spread his name across foreign waters. His resonant bass was a major highlight in the London production of Jerome Kern's and Oscar Hammerstein II's 'Show Boat'. The role of Joe, the deckhand, was written for him, but because of schedule conflicts and Florenz Ziegfeld Jr.'s delay in putting on the show, he had been unable to star in the first stage production but played the role in London five months later. His rendition of "Ol' Man River" became the benchmark for all future performers of the song. In 1928, he made the second-ever recording of 'Ol' Man River'. (Bing Crosby did the first). Show Boat continued for 350 performances. At the time no U.S. company would hire Robeson and so, he remained in London to play the role of William Shakespeare's 'Othello' in 1930. Paul caused a slight stir by co-starring opposite a white actress, Peggy Ashcroft, who played Desdemona. After his wife Essie discovered Robeson had been having an affair with Ashcroft, she decided to seek a divorce and they split up. Around this time Robeson starred in the film Borderline (Kenneth MacPherson, 1930), a silent film that dealt strongly with racial themes. Stephen Bourne at BFI Screen-on-Line: "Black characters in American cinema of the period rarely moved beyond Al Jolson in blackface, or the dim-witted buffoons played by comedy actors like Stepin Fetchit. For the ambitious Robeson there were hardly any opportunities to play challenging roles." In 1931, he returned to the stage in the O'Neill play 'The Hairy Ape'. The following year he appeared in a Broadway revival of 'Show Boat' again as Joe, to critical and popular acclaim. In the same production, Helen Morgan repeated her original 1927 performance as the half-caste role of Julie, but the white actress Tess Gardella played the role of Queenie in her customary blackface opposite Robeson. In 1932, Ashcroft and Robeson's relationship ended. Robeson and Essie reconciled, although their relationship was scarred permanently.
Throughout the 1930s, Paul Robeson spent most of his time singing and performing in England. He also was given the opportunity to recapture two of his greatest stage successes on film: The Emperor Jones (Dudley Murphy, 1933) and Show Boat (James Whale, 1936), with Irene Dunne, Helen Morgan, and Hattie McDaniel. His performance of 'Old Man River' in this film version of Show Boat became legendary, both for its quality and for Robeson’s purposeful changing of the lyrics "I'm tired of livin' and 'feared of dyin’" to the more activist "I must keep fightin' until I'm dying". In Britain, he played Bosambo in Sanders of the River (Zoltan Korda, 1935), which he felt would render a realistic view of colonial African culture. It made Robeson an international film star. Stephen Bourne: "When Robeson became a major star in British films in the mid-1930s, he negotiated for roles that projected a positive image of a black man, roles that broke away from one-dimensional and offensive racial stereotypes. But he often found himself in conflict with an industry that glorified the British Empire and colonialism. This was certainly the case with his first commercial film, Sanders of the River (d. Zoltan Korda, 1935), one of a cycle of imperial adventures produced by Alexander Korda for London Films."Robeson also appeared in such British films as Song of Freedom (J. Elder Wills, 1936), King Solomon's Mines (Robert Stevenson, Geoffrey Barkas, 1937), Jericho (Thornton Freeland, 1937), and The Proud Valley (Pen Tennyson, 1940), set in a Welsh coal-mining town. After returning to America, Robeson played a sharecropper in a segment of the Hollywood movie Tales of Manhattan (Julien Duvivier, 1942) but, after the film was released, he was criticised for perpetuating a racist stereotype. Robeson agreed with his critics and volunteered to join protestors outside cinemas where the film was being shown. He said he wouldn't make any more films until there were better roles for blacks. During the 1930s he gravitated strongly towards economics and politics with a burgeoning interest in social activism. In 1934 he made the first of several trips to the Soviet Union and outwardly extolled the Soviet way of life and his belief that it lacked racial bias, despite the Holodomor and the later Rootless Cosmopolitan Campaign. He was a popular figure in Wales where he became personally involved in their civil rights affairs, notably the Welsh miners. Developing a marked leftist ideology, he continued to criticize the blatant discrimination he found so prevalent in America. In 1939, he premiered Earl Robinson’s multi-ethnic cantata 'Ballad for Americans' on CBS radio, which he would eventually perform in twenty-five languages. In addition to his creative work, Robeson used his personal prominence to push for social and political reform. He supported the Spanish partisans against Franco’s fascist Nationalists in the Spanish Civil War, raised funds for refugees from Hitler’s Germany well before such activities were fashionable, and organized a coalition that challenged President Truman to support an anti-lynching law in 1945. The 1940s was a mixture of performance triumphs and poignant, political upheavals. While his title run in the musical drama 'John Henry' (1940), was short-lived, he earned widespread acclaim for his Broadway 'Othello' in 1943 opposite José Ferrer as Iago and Uta Hagen as Desdemona. This production is still the longest-running non-musical production of a Shakespeare play ever to be staged in the United States, due almost entirely to Robeson's enormous popularity. He appeared in a World War II-era U.S. Government War Department propaganda film, Easy to Get, aimed at combating the spread of venereal diseases among black soldiers. In the film, Robeson appears at the end in his capacity as a celebrity football star and singer to advise viewers to stay "clean". By this time, however, Robeson was being reviled by much of white America for his outspoken civil rights speeches against segregation and lynchings, particularly in the South. A founder of the Progressive Party, an independent political party, his outdoor concerts sometimes ignited violence and he was now a full-blown target for "Red Menace" agitators. In 1946 he denied under oath being a member of the Communist Party but steadfastly refused to refute the accusations under subsequent probes. His continued support for the Soviet Union became even more controversial after Stalin publicly turned against Israel in November 1948. As a result, his passport was withdrawn and he became engaged in legal battles for nearly a decade in order to retrieve it. Adding fuel to the fire was his only son's (Paul Jr.) marriage to a white woman in 1949 and his being awarded the Stalin Peace Prize in 1952. He was unable to receive it until 1958 when his passport was returned to him.
Paul Robeson was essentially blacklisted, and tainted press statements continued to hound him. He began performing less and less in America. Despite his growing scorn towards America, he never gave up his American citizenship although the anguish of it all led to a couple of suicide attempts, nervous breakdowns, and a dependency on drugs. Europe was a different story. The people continued to hold him in high regard as an artist above reproach. He had a command of about 20 languages and wound up giving his last acting performance in Tony Richardson's production of 'Othello' at Stratford-on-Avon in 1959. Although he did give a few interviews on television, he never played any dramatic or musical roles in that medium. In 1960, in what was his final concert performance in Great Britain, Robeson sang to raise money for the Movement for Colonial Freedom at the Royal Festival Hall. In October 1960, Robeson embarked on a two-month concert tour of Australia and New Zealand with Essie. While in Sydney, he became the first major artist to perform at the construction site of the future Sydney Opera House. Back in London, Robeson expressed a desire to return to the United States and participate in the civil rights movement, while his wife argued that he would be unsafe there and "unable to make any money" due to government harassment. His health suddenly took a turn for the worse and he finally returned to the United States in 1963. His poet/wife Eslanda Robeson died of cancer two years later. Double pneumonia and a kidney blockage in 1965 nearly killed Robeson too. Robeson moved in with his son's family in New York City. He remained in poor health for pretty much the rest of his life. His last years were spent in Harlem at his sister's house in near-total isolation, denying all interviews and public correspondence. At a Carnegie Hall tribute to mark his 75th birthday in 1973, he was unable to attend, but a taped message from him was played that said: "Though I have not been able to be active for several years, I want you to know that I am the same Paul, dedicated as ever to the worldwide cause of humanity for freedom, peace and brotherhood." In 1976, Paul Robeson died at age 77 of complications from a stroke. He was interred in the Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York. Among his many honours: he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1995; he received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998; was honored with a postage stamp during the 'Black Heritage' series, and both a Cultural Center at Penn State University and a high school in Brooklyn bear his name. In 1995 his autobiography 'Here I Stand' was published in England in 1958. His son, Paul Robeson Jr., also chronicled a book about his father, 'Undiscovered Paul Robeson: An Artist's Journey' in 2001. When appearing before HUAC, the Committee asked him why he didn't relocate to Russia. He replied: "Because my father was a slave, and my people died to build this country, and I am going to stay right here and have a part of it just like you."

Among his many honours: he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1995; he received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998; was honored with a postage stamp during the 'Black Heritage' series, and both a Cultural Center at Penn State University and a high school in Brooklyn bear his name. In 1995 his autobiography 'Here I Stand' was published in England in 1958. His son, Paul Robeson Jr., also chronicled a book about his father, 'Undiscovered Paul Robeson: An Artist's Journey' in 2001. When appearing before HUAC, the Committee asked him why he didn't relocate to Russia. He replied: "Because my father was a slave, and my people died to build this country, and I am going to stay right here and have a part of it just like you."

ADOLF EICHMANN – This unassuming little man participated in one of the worst atrocities in human history. He was a member of Hitler’s Gestapo (Secret Police) and also of the dreaded S.S. he helped to administer the “final solution” of “the Jewish problem” in Nazi-held Europe. He shared responsibility for the deliberate mass murder of Jews and other enemies of Nazism. Eichmann helped to organize the transportation of millions of men, women and children to the firing squads and gas chambers of the Third Reich. He oversaw the construction of the notorious Mauthausen camp in Austria. Witnesses said that he personally executed many people, including babies. Just before the Nazi collapse, Eichmann allegedly said that he would jump laughing into his grave knowing that he had the blood of 5 000 000 people on his hands. By the end of the war, Eichmann had disappeared. Later, he was discovered in Argentina. In 1960 he was kidnapped from there by Israeli agents, who took him to Israel for trial. Convicted of his unspeakable crimes, he was hanged in 1962. No one saw him laughing on the scaffold.
BENITO MUSSOLINI- Born in poverty, this former schoolmaster, soldier and political agitator became Prime Minister of Italy in 1922. Gradually he crushed all his opposition, so that he was a virtual dictator by 1928. A socialist in his youth, he became a Fascist who believed in aggressive nationalism. He regarded war as a good thing, and planned to use it to restore an Italian Empire as in the days of ancient Rome. “Il Duce” (the leader) as he called himself, was fascinated by Hitler. The two men became allies. Italy entered World War II by attacking France “from behind” in 1940. The war went badly for Italy. in 1943, Mussolini was deposed and Italy sued for peace. Near war’s end in 1945, Mussolini and his mistress were seized by partisans, placed against a stone wall and shot. The bullet-riddled corpses were taken to Milan and strung up by the ankles in a public square, where they were further mutilated and spat upon.
ADOLF HITLER - Here stands the evil genius who hypnotised a nation into a frenzy of bloodlust and plunged the world into the most catastrophic war in history. A restless, frustrated youth, he served with distinction in World War I. Convinced that Germany’s defeat and heavy punishment were the fault of Jews and traitors at home, he began to preach German rearmament and expansion. Such policies could pull Germany out of the Depression and restory the glory of the armed forces. By 1933, Hitler had become Chancellor of Germany. He moved quickly to become a total dictator. Persecution and death were certain for all who opposed him. He then began a program of territorial expansion to create “Lebensraum” ( living space) for a master race who would exterminate or enslave all other inferior peoples within their borders. At its height, the Nazi Empire stretched from the Atlantic Ocean to the gates of Moscow, from the Arctic Circle to the deserts of Africa. More than 6 000 000 Jews and untold millions of other people were slaughtered on his orders. Yet this twisted maniac was in his way a brilliant man. A spellbinding orator, he could sway huge crowds to delirium in minutes and he was followed with blind devotion. However his certainty of his own genius also led him to great mistakes which helped to ruin him. By April 1945 the Allies had overrun Germany from both east and west. While Russian shells exploded outside his Berlin bunker, Hitler declared that the German people were unworthy of his abilities. Terrified at the prospect of being captured alive, he committed suicide. Although his body was burned, on his orders, his remains were identified by Russian troops and later buried in an unknown location.

Seaton Carew is a seaside resort in County Durham, northern England, with a population of 6,018 (2017). The area is named after a Norman French family called Carou who owned lands in the area and settled there, while 'Seaton' means farmstead or settlement by the sea. The resort falls within the unitary authority of Hartlepool.
It separated from most of Hartlepool by the Durham Coast Line. The resort is on the North Sea coast and north of the river Tees estuary.
There is evidence that the area was occupied in Roman times as vestiges of Roman buildings, coins and artefacts are occasionally found on the beach. Later during the reign of Henry I, Seaton came into the possession of Robert De Carrowe and the settlement changed its name to Seaton Carrowe. In medieval times salt was extracted from sea water by evaporation and ash from the fuel used to remove the water was dumped on North Gare and now forms a series of grass covered mounds on the golf course.[9] A Gilbertine priory or cell to Sempringham Priory was established in the Seaton area although so far no trace has been found. In 1667 a gun fortification was built on the promontory of Seaton Snook to defend the mouth of the Tees, particularly against the Dutch—remnants of these fortifications can be seen today.
Seaton Carew was a fishing village but grew in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as a seaside holiday resort for wealthy Quaker families from Darlington, effectively founding Seaton Carew as a seaside resort. Many stayed at the rows of stucco houses and hotels built along the seafront and around The Green—a turfed square facing the sea.
In 1867 a hoard of Spanish silver dollars was revealed in the sands following a heavy storm.
In 1874 the Durham and Yorkshire Golf Club (now Seaton Carew Golf Club) was founded by Duncan McCuaig, with a 14-hole course on coastal land to the south-east of Seaton Carew. Four holes were added in 1891 and in 1925 further work was carried out with the guidance of renowned golf course designer Alister MacKenzie.
In 1882 Seaton Carew was incorporated into West Hartlepool and the Museum of Hartlepool records that a small riot involving Irish labourers took place in the late Victorian era, when townsfolk mistook them for Fenian agitators.
Just north of Seaton was the works of the West Hartlepool Steel & Iron Company. In 1898 Christopher Furness and W.C. Gray of West Hartlepool purchased the Stockton Malleable Iron Works, the Moor Steel and Iron Works, and the West Hartlepool Steel and Iron Works to form the South Durham Steel and Iron Company. This became part of the British Steel Corporation in 1967. The West Hartlepool Steel and Iron Works is thought to have closed in 1979.
Tourists and visitors are attracted to the resort's four miles of sandy beach, promenade, arcades, and fish and chip restaurants. The beach is regularly cleaned and is patrolled by lifeguards during the summer holidays. In 2019 the main beach was given an 'excellent' bathing rating by the Environment Agency and was granted a Seaside Award by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy.
The artist and leading railway poster designer Frank Henry Mason (1875–1965) was born at Seaton Carew and briefly worked in a Hartlepool shipyard.
The science fiction writer Mark Adlard was born in Seaton Carew in 1932[53] and for a time he lived on The Green.
Neil Warnock, football manager/pundit, lived in Seaton Carew when he played for Hartlepool United.
Footballer Evan Horwood grew up in Seaton before moving to Yorkshire to play for Sheffield United. He has also played for Carlisle United F.C., Hartlepool United and Tranmere Rovers.
John Darwin and his wife Anne lived in Seaton when John faked his death in a canoeing accident in 2002. The story made the news across the world and it inspired a BBC drama documentary on the Darwins' lives

"W" Ordinary Object, W is for "Washing Machine". This is the latest image in a flickrfriend challenge called Odd Wednesday where I am working my way through the alphabet photographing an ordinary object for each letter. Preferably something I wouldn't normally think to photograph.
The clothes that a Washing Machine cleans, cleans the Washing Machine. Sym-non-bio-sis! DY
I am late again with this post but only by one day. Yesterday was an odd Wednesday and I did shoot this shot then but could not post it till today. Just three more left in the set!
Österreich kann es auch. TV-Duell Van der Bellen/Hofer: Österreich oberpeinlich ...
Österreich kann es auch - Van der Bellen gegen Hofer - Österreich oberpeinlich
TV-Duell ohne Sieger: Grünen-Kandidat Alexander Van der Bellen (links) und FPÖ-Mann Norbert Hofer saßen sich ohne Moderator gegenüber.
Ohne Moderator liefern sich die österreichischen Präsidentschaftskandidaten ein TV-Duell, das einer politischen Schlammschlacht gleicht. Aufschlussreich ist es trotzdem.
1970 gab es in Österreich erstmals ein besonderes Fernsehexperiment.
Da saßen der damalige Bundeskanzler Josef Klaus und Ex-Außenminister Bruno Kreisky im Fernsehstudio des Österreichischen Rundfunks. Ein Tisch, zwei Spitzenkandidaten vor der Parlamentswahl, kein Moderator.
Österreich kann es auch - Der Christsoziale und der Sozialdemokrat beharkten sich, Klaus blieb kühl, Kreisky schwitzte, man widersprach sich - doch man zollte sich Respekt.
Knapp 46 Jahre später, an diesem Pfingstsonntag, legte der österreichische Privat-Sender ATV das Format neu auf. Eine Woche vor der Stichwahl am 22. Mai saßen die Präsidentschaftskandidaten Norbert Hofer und Alexander Van der Bellen allein am Tisch.
Diesmal verflüchtigte sich der Respekt nach 20 Minuten.
Österreich kann es auch - Interview mit Armin Thurnher" Fesch und Faschismus ergaben den Feschismus" "Falter"-Herausgeber Armin Thurnher über den Burschenschafts-Hintergrund von FPÖ-Kandidat Norbert Hofer - und dessen Anziehung auf das Bildungsbürgertum.
Was sich der stellvertretende Parteichef der rechtspopulistischen FPÖ und der frühere Grünen-Vorsitzende da lieferten, war übel und verblüffend zugleich. Zuerst ließ man sich nicht ausreden, dann ging man über zu Häme, Unverschämtheiten und unverstellter Verächtlichkeit.
Zwei sehr unterschiedliche Männer waren einander ausgeliefert.
Siegreich ging niemand aus dem politischen Schlammcatchen hervor.
Da zeigte man den Scheibenwischer (Van der Bellen); da unterstellte man dem anderen, ein Lügner zu sein (Hofer); man empörte sich und verwendete das Wort "Schweinerei" (Van der Bellen).
Und man tat so, als ob man die Beleidigung eines Rappers nicht kolportieren wollte, sagte aber dann doch "Scheiß Fotzen" (Hofer).
Österreich oberpeinlich.
Das Fernsehduell ums höchste Staatsamt war mitunter so würdelos, dass man selbst im Ausland Anwandlungen zum Fremdschämen verspürte.
Österreich kann es auch - Siegreich ging eh niemand aus dem politischen Schlammcatchen hervor. Inhaltlich gab es kaum Neues, die Kontrahenten agierten erwartbar: Van der Bellen gab sich pro europäisch, würdigte das politische Österreich der letzten 70 Jahre, er verwies auf seine parteiübergreifende Unterstützerriege und sein Ansehen im Ausland.
Hofer, der als Stärkster aus dem ersten Wahlgang hervorgegangen war, spielte die bekannten Melodien der FPÖ-Klaviatur: EU-feindliche Klänge, dazu die Forderung nach plebiszitären Elementen.
Er nährte die Vorstellung, Brüssel und die anderen Parteien hätten sich zusammengetan gegen die Interessen der Österreicher. Und er übte Kritik an der Homoehe und den Kosten der Flüchtlingskrise.
Österreich kann es auch - Bislang präsentierte sich Hofer ganz anders als sein Parteichef ...
Aufschlussreich war die Sendung trotzdem, und das hatte vor allem mit Hofer zu tun. Der Burgenländer ist in den letzten Monaten sehr schnell sehr populär geworden, er erreicht Klientel, die nicht die mitunter rechtsradikal auftretende FPÖ wählt.
Österreich kann es auch - Ein Grund für die Sympathien ist, dass Hofer bislang anders als sein Parteichef aufgetreten ist: Heinz-Christian Strache, der sich in seiner Jugend in der Neonazi-Szene bewegt hatte, ist ein Angstmacher, ein schriller Agitator, der in diesem Jahr den bisherigen Bundeskanzler Werner Faymann einen "Staatsfeind" nannte.

All Shook Up: Jef Aerosol
January 29 - February 21, 2010
Opening Reception - Friday, January 29, 2010, 6-10pm

******************************************************************
Ad Hoc Art presents international stencil master Jef Aerosol in New York City for “All Shook Up”, a stunning show of cultural icons by a Street Artist with 30 years in the game.
The show with Ad Hoc Art, a gallery widely regarded as one of Street Art’s polestars, features brand new stenciled works as well as the now-classic pieces that have made Jef Aerosol’s name itself iconic; on paper, wood, and found objects.
A true originator who helped spark what is now known as “Street Art” when he sprayed his first stencil series across the city of Tours, France one night in 1982, the self-taught Aerosol has continuously rocked the streets with his oversized portraits and helped define a new public art nomenclature with other French artists like Blek Le Rat, Miss Tic, and Speedy Graphito.
Steadily from the ’80s to the ’10s Aerosol has cut and sprayed stunning portraits of his heroes; cultural icons who stand undiminished by the hype. They connect directly with the masses and shake public opinion with humor and provocation; Strummer, Cash, Vicious, Hendrix, Bowie, Bardot, Cobain, Lennon, Smith, Jagger – all brainy agitators and vixens cut and sprayed in stark layers of black, grey and white. And each with Aerosol’s signature hot red arrows affixed nearby for exclamation.
In Street Art and in the gallery, Aerosol has not purely focused on those well-known personages. Among the faces you’ll find a number of self-portraits and portrayals of the more anonymous among us such as those living and working in the streets.
Like the best photographers, Aerosol catches the instant of truth in his portraits, and reveals a universal humanity in each subject. “In my work I love to call up my feelings and emotions to honor these modern day heroes who have fed my life with their music, art and ideas. This new show is a powerful and vivid collection of these inspirations that I am really excited to bring to New York for the first time," Jef Aerosol.
Three decades of getting up on walls in cities including Paris, London, Lisbon, Chicago, New York, Bejing, Venice, Amsterdam, Rome, Zurich, Berlin, Dublin, and Tokyo have given him all the “street cred” Jef Aerosol will ever need.
Sighted in numerous books and by authors like Tristan Manco (Stencil Graffiti, Street Logos), blogs like Wooster Collective and Brooklyn Street Art, and newspapers like The New York Times as one of the lynchpins in the stencil art movement that came to be called “street art”, Jef Aerosol’s work has become a perennial favorite of collectors. His work resides in hundreds of private collections, has exhibited in numerous galleries in Europe, the U.S. and Australia (list below), and is regularly auctioned with Bonhams (London, New-York), Artcurial (Paris), Drouot (Paris), and Dreweats (London).
In 2007 Aerosol published a gallery of portraits in VIP Very Important Pochoirs (éditions Alternatives, Paris, 2007).
Galleries where the work of Jef Aerosol has been shown include: Galerie Brugier-Rigail (Paris), Galerie Raison d'Art (Lille), Signal Gallery (London), Zozimus Gallery (Dublin), Art Partner Galerie (Brussels), Galerie Anne Vignial (Paris), Galerie Storme (Lille), Galerie Onega (Paris), Carmichael Gallery (Los Angeles), ATM Gallery (Berlin), and Famous When Dead Gallery (Melbourne).
This villa was built in the 18th century on one of the most beautiful places on earth with a killer view! Only this view will add a million dollars to the price of these grounds. It was built by a wealthy baron who built it as his summer house. When the baron left, rumours say that the villa was owned by anarchists, Utopians and agitators. At one time even they left and currently the place is awaiting to be bought. Probably for some several millions…
The surrounding gardens are packed with tropical plants and when we were there we heard the gardener at work some 15 meters away. I think the surrounding luxury villas make sure also this garden is kept nice and tidy. We managed to avoid the gardener and did our thing in the Mediterranean sun.

Some locals call it "The Agitator," because it looks like the inside of a washing machine.

River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the first week of December 2016.
Work has finished on the construction of the 'debris trap' in the river bed, opposite the Rivervale Apartments complex. This work was begun a few years ago, and halted with the creation of a pit, and the placement of (what I like to call) the 8 Dargle Dolmen stones (upright pillars) - 4 of which are immediately visible to the eye.
The ‘Debris Trap’ consists of 12 concrete elliptical shaped columns approximately 1.6m (5ft) high spaced 0.5m apart across the river channel -- essential for trapping any trees or other objects which may flow down the river in flood conditions.
To create proper foundations for the columns, the guys had to drive steel piles deep into the bed of the river. Similar to work done elsewhere. Within that waterproof chamber, they set/poured concrete to build the columns.
So, as we can see, they'd (chamfered) dressed a terrace adjacent to the pillars.
Now there are engaged in what is know as 'Hydro-seeding'.
Hydroseeding:
Hydroseeding (hydraulic mulch seeding) is the process of spraying a specially mixed slurry comprising of water, seed, hydro-mulch, fertiliser plus eco-friendly binder in just one operation. Although the optimum times to hydroseed are Spring and Autumn, with the right weather conditions hydroseeding can be carried out throughout the year.
Individual mixtures (grasses, legumes, wildflower, tree & shrub seed and sedum) can all be applied with a variety of different hydro-mulches; wood fibre, paper etc, together with organic tackifiers, fertilisers and trace elements to establish vegetation on inhospitable sites.
Additives to the hydroseed mix such as plant hormones, additional erosion control tackifier, soil amendments and microbial bacteria, enhance germination establishment to create the ideal growing environment that increases moisture retention, aids soil stabilisation, provides valuable nutrients and helps fight disease.
Looks like they're using the T-60 HydroSeeder® - 600 Gallon Working Capacity Tank.
The Finn Model T-60 Series II is the ideal 600 gallon HydroSeeder® for the landscaper or contractor who needs an economical machine for seeding smaller jobs. Coverage is up to 7200 square feet per load with seed, fertilizer and mulch in an easy, one-step process.
Private homes, ball fields, apartments, condominiums and golf course work are just a few of the ideal applications for the T-60. For a small investment you can become a one-person seeding and mulching crew.
The T-60 combines top machine performance with a clean, operator friendly design. For the maximum in mixing efficiency, the T-60 features both hydraulically controlled paddle agitator and liquid re-circulation. For operator convenience, agitator controls are at each end of the tank. A low machine profile allows for easy material loading and excellent sta bility. A large tool box in the hitch can be used for storing hose & nozzles.
Finn's powerful centrifugal slurry pump is driven by an in-line common shaft clutch, eliminating high maintenance belts and coupling. This new configuration dramatically increases output and operating pressure.
Dodge petrol V8 concrete agitator based out of Pioneer Bass Point plant. Were a popular choice amongst the Pioneer agi LODs back then. I used to see a bloke operating one at Ulladulla plant until around the early 1990s I think.
Boulevard Pereire 10/01/2025 16h57
Boulevard Pereire at the level of Place de la Porte Maillot and the new RER-E station Neuilly Porte Maillot and tram station of tram line T3b. And here the corner of the Avenue de la Grande Armée. The moon in the picture is the bonus together with McDonald's Porte Maillot (opened 2017).
Boulevard Pereire
Boulevard Pereire is boulevard in the 17ème arrondissement of Paris in the quartiers Ternes, Plaine de Monceaux and Batignolles. Boulevard is formed by two lanes with trees located on either side of the Auteuil line (now RER C). The even side has a lenght of 2,260 meters and the odd side a length of 2,540 meters. This boulevard is created in 1853. Under the occupation, a name change was proposed by Captain Paul Sezille, director of the Institute for the Study of Jewish issues, because of the Jewish Pereire Brothers. He suggested that the SS Theodor Dannecker the name "Édouard Drumont" named after the famous anti-Semitic agitator.

Starts: rue Jouffroy-d'Abbans / rue de Saussure
Ends: avenue de la Grande-Armée / boulevard Gouvion-Saint-Cyr

The Flickr Lounge-Its a Bargain
I bought this washer over 10 years ago and it is still working perfectly! It wasn't super expensive since I got it in New Mexico where the prices are much lower than in New York state. It works much like a front-loading model in that it has no agitator and it also has a water sensor so I never uses more water than it needs.
One of Boral's new Kenworth Agitators at work delivering concrete for a slab. It's powered by a Cummin ISLe5 and sounded nice too. Boral's new paint scheme also looks quite sharp. Its got a 7.5m agitator, but not sure what mixer body it has, but possibly a Mixer's Australia one.

This villa was built in the 18th century on one of the most beautiful places on earth with a killer view! Only this view will add a million dollars to the price of these grounds. It was built by a wealthy baron who built it as his summer house. When the baron left, rumours say that the villa was owned by anarchists, Utopians and agitators. At one time even they left and currently the place is awaiting to be bought. Probably for some several millions…
The surrounding gardens are packed with tropical plants and when we were there we heard the gardener at work some 15 meters away. I think the surrounding luxury villas make sure also this garden is kept nice and tidy. We managed to avoid the gardener and did our thing in the Mediterranean sun.

Benita Hume (1907-1967) was an English theatre and film actress. She appeared in 44 films between 1925 and 1955, from the silent film era to sound film. She had a prolific even if a short-lived career as the leading lady in Hollywood cinema.
Brunette Benita Hume was born in London in 1907. She did the RADA theatre academy and started to act on stage in 1924. From 1925 she played small parts in British cinema e.g. in Alfred Hitchcock's Easy Virtue (1927), and she had her first major part in the spy drama Second to None (Jack Raymond, 1927). She was one of the Sanger sisters in The Constant Nymph (Adrian Brunel, 1928), starring Ivor Novello and Mabel Poulton, and had the female lead in the period piece Balaclava (Maurice Elvey, Milton Rosmer, 1928), set during the Crimean War. Elvey shot the silent version, but Rosmer reshot much to turn it into a talkie. In A South Sea Bubble (T. Hayes Hunter, 1928) Hume was paired again with Novello, but now as the leading lady. Again Brunel directed her in A Light Woman (1928), in which she was the star, while she was the title character in The Lady of the Lake (James A. FitzPatrick, 1928). In the science fiction High Treason (Maurice Elvey, 1929), shot both as silent and sound version, pacifist women led by Hume's character and her father unite to prevent overheated leaders of the US and United Europe (it is SF!) and war-mongering financiers and agitators from engineering a second world war. Hume next played in two more crime films: The Clue of the New Pin (Athur Maude, 1929) and the German-British co-production The Wrecker (Géza von Bolváry, 1929).
In 1930 Benita Hume went to the US to act in her first Broadway play: Ivor Novello's 'Symphony in Two Flats' (1930). In the same year, she acted in the UK film version of the play. She continued to act in various British crime films and dramas by Maurice Elvey and others. In 1931 she would divorce her first husband, Eric Otto Siepmann, whom she had married in 1926. After one Warner production shot at their UK studios in 1932, Hume also started a prolific even if a short-lived career as the leading lady in Hollywood cinema, though she never became a huge star. Between 1932 and 1933 Hume acted in 11 American films, including the impostors' story Diamond Cut Diamond (Maurice Elvey, Fred Niblo, 1932), with Adolphe Menjou, the press drama Clear All Wires! (George Hill, 1933) with Lee Tracy, and Hume's last American film, The Worst Woman in Paris? (Monta Bell, 1933). From the second half of 1934, Hume acted in British films again. For some films, she was occasionally called to the US again, e.g. for Tarzan Escapes (Richard Thorpe, 1936), though not as the female star of the films anymore. In 1938 Hume quit film acting altogether, though she continued with radio and TV work. In 1938 Benita Hume married British actor Ronald Colman, with whom she appeared on the Jack Benny radio show and on the radio show 'The Halls of Ivy' (1950-1952). They co-owned a resort in California and had one daughter. After Colman's death in 1958, Hume remarried with British actor George Saunders in 1959. They remained together till her death. Benita Hume died in 1967 at Egerton, Kent, UK, due to bone cancer.

In Christchurch on 29 April 1918, in response to the conscription ballot of married men (known as the Second Division), a group of over 5,000 (mainly women) disrupted the call up, fought with the Police, and even stormed the King Edward Barracks.
Tensions had flared the day before, when over 1,600 women and men attended a monster public meeting organised by the Second Division League and chaired by the Christchurch mayor. ‘We won’t go into camp!’ cried men from the floor. A flustered official at the podium ‘moved that the meeting insist that the government grant its demands immediately.’ But then Edward Langley and John Flood, both watersiders, jumped to their feet and moved that ‘no Second Division man shall leave for camp until the demands of the League are acceded to.’ The audience went wild. ’Stand out! Stand out!’ yelled the audience, ‘Don’t go to camp!’
The next day the city was electric as thousands of women, their babies and children in hand, gathered at King Edward Barracks to prevent the mobilisation. Army officers were jeered, raised fists were directed at the Mayor, and when police attempted to arrest one of the crowd, about 300 rushed the barracks en masse to make a ‘de-arrest’. Police were said to have had ‘a distinctly bad quarter of an hour. One was beaten by a woman with an umbrella.’ Thanks to the women’s direct action, the person was freed and half the balloted men were unable to be processed.
Patriots raged against the so-called rioting and mutiny. Edward and John, who had moved the incendiary motion, were sentenced to six months’ imprisonment for sedition and the seconder, city councillor Hiram Hunter, was given three months. But in order to diffuse the situation their sentences were eventually quashed.
In this letter of 14 May 1918 to Prime Minister William Massey, Defence Minister James Allen mentions their sentence and his belief that IWW agitators and anti-militarists had caused the trouble in Christchurch.
