Description: "The Deaf, Dumb, and Blind Girl" Julia Brace article, continued.
Full text: Article Continued:
-thing disagreeable in her countenance, but her eyes forever closed, create a deficiency of expression. Her complexion is fair; her smile gentle and sweet, though of rare occurrence; and her person somewhat bent, when sitting, from her habits of fixed attention to her work. Many strangers have waited for a long time to see her thread her needle, which is quite a mysterious process, and never accomplished without the aid of the tongue. You will perceive nothing striking or attractive in her exterior, though her life of patience, industry, and contentment, had traced correspondent lines upon her features and deportment.
My dear children, it will be difficult for you to gain a correct idea of a person perfectly blind, deaf, and dumb, even after repeatedly beholding her. Cover your eyes for a short time, and you shit out this world of beauty. Close your ears, and you exclude this world of sound. Refrain from speaking, and you cease to hold communion with the world of intelligence. Yet were it in your power to continue thus for hours, even for days, you still have within your minds a treasury of knowledge to which she can never resort. You cannot picture to yourself, the utter desolation of one, whose limited acquirements are made at the expense of such toil, and with the hazard of such continual error. Never, therefore, forget to be grateful for the talents with which you are endowed. For every new idea which you add to the mental storehouse, praise Him who gives you with unveiled senses to taste the luxury of knowledge.
When the smile of your parents and companions makes your heart glad, or when you look at the bright flowers and fair skies of summer, think with compassion of her, who must never see the face of her fellow creatures, or the beauty of earth and sky. When you hear the melody of music, or the kind voice of your teachers, Oh! Strive to value and improve your privileges; and while you pour forth all the emotions of your souls in the varieties of language, forget not a prayer of pity for her, who dwells in perpetual silence, a prayer of gratitude to Him, who hath caused you to differ from her.

Two weeks ago, Tunisia's ruling Islamist Ennahda party proposed that a controversial article be included in the new constitution. "Article 28," as it is known, states that "the state guarantees to protect women's rights, as they stand, under the principle of man's complement within the family and man's partner in developing the country." In protest against the article's use of the word "complement", demonstrations were held in the capital city of Tunis, as well as a number of other cities across the country.

Am Hof historically is one of the most important places of Vienna. It is located between Bognergasse, Naglergasse, Heidenschuss, Färbergasse, Jews square and Schulhof in the oldest part of the city in the immediate vicinity of the medieval ghetto.

The square Am Hof was already part of the Roman military camp Vindobona and was uninhabited in the early Middle Ages.
Between 1155 and about 1275, the completion of the New Castle at the site of today's Swiss tract of the Hofburg, was here the Court of the Babenberg, that Henry Jasomirgott built himself in 1155/56, after he had moved his residence from Klosterneuburg (Lower Austria) to Vienna. This residence was a complex of buildings around an open space, so a court, with the home of the Duke as a center. To the north-west and southwest the "court" leaned against the wall of the Roman fort, into town, it was limited by gates against the bourgeois Old Town and Jewish Town. Here received Heinrich Jasomirgott and his wife Theodora in 1165 Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, who was on the Third Crusade to the Holy Land.
Under Henry's son Leopold V was the tournament and subsequent market place 1177-1194 scene of glittering events where singers and poets such as Reinmar of Haguenau and his student Walther von der Vogelweide appeared in minstrelsy-contests.
With the move of the Prince Regnants in the Swiss wing of the then much smaller Hofburg in 1275, came the "Babenbergerpfalz" (Am Hof) in the late 13th century to the Princely Mint. The houses no. 10 and no. 12 the neighboring ghetto around the Jews square were incorporated. From 1340 At the Court were held markets. In 1365 it came to the temporary accommodation of the Carmelites in the Mint, 1386 to the official donation by Albrecht III., the place for the first time being called "Am Hof". The Carmelites instead of Roman Mint court chapel (Münzhofkapelle) erected a three-nave Gothic monastery church, that they finished about 1420. The Gothic choir still today is visible from the alley behind it. The Carmelites had already owned the house of the Jew Muschal, to that they obtained yet more houses, inter alia, the by Albrecht III. purchased house of the poet Peter Suchenwirt.
The place was originally isolated from the nearby Freyung by houses that left only a narrow connection alley and were demolished in 1846. As early as from the 14th century, it was used as a market, later also as a place of execution. 1463 was here the mayor Wolfgang Holzer on command of Albrecht Vl. executed. 1515 the Habsburg-Jagellonian double wedding of Emperor Maximilian I was held here. In the 16th and 17th centuries the place was also called Crab market, since saltwater fish and crabs were offered. In the 18th century at the market only vegetables and fruits were sold.
After the handing over of the church and convent to the Jesuits in 1554, the square was listening to the name of "At the Upper Jesuits" and was the scene of spiritual performances of the Jesuits before their church. After the dissolution of the Jesuit order in 1773 the place was again called "Am Hof". The convent building of the Jesuits was 1783-1913 the seat of the Imperial War Council and the War Ministry.
1782 Pius VI. from the terrace of the church gave the blessing Urbi et Orbi. On August 6, 1806 also from the loggia of the church announced an Imperial herald the end of the Holy Roman Empire, at the top of which the Habsburgs had stood for over half a millennium, and the abdication of the Imperial crown by Francis II.:"... that We the band, which has bound us until now to the body politic of the German Empire, as having been dissolved consider".
Took place on 14 March 1848 in the wake of the 1848 revolution the storming of the Arsenal, on 6 October the minister of war Theodor Count Baillet von Latour was pulled out from the building, killed and by the crowd hung in the middle of the square on a lantern. The place for a short time was called "People's Square".
1842-1918 and 1939-1942, the Christmas market Am Hof enjoyed great popularity. In 1973, arose here the Vienna Flea market, which in 1977 due to space limitations was relocated on the Naschmarkt. Today again yearly a Christmas market is taking place.
In 1892, before the building of the k.k. Hofkriegsrathsgebäude (the War Department), the equestrian statue of Field Marshal Radetzky of Caspar von Zumbusch was unveiled, which was transferred in 1912 before the newly constructed building of the War Department At Stubenring. The place of the Hofkriegsratsgebäude in 1915 took the Headquarters of the Länderbank.
Furthermore, Am Hof was still the main police station (Hauptwache), the Nunciature and the Lower chamber office.
In Carol Reed's film "The Third Man" (filmed in 1948) the place Am Hof appears prominently, on it stands the advertising column, through which one enters the underworld of the Vienna sewer system.
1962-63 in the course of excavations for an underground garage under the square Am Hof remains of the Roman settlement have been found. In the basement of the present fire station in original location a piece of the main channel of the camp can be visited, which absorbed the wastewater from the southern camp and led it into the Deep Ditch to the brook Ottakringerbach.
Pope John Paul II. did as his predecessor had done and gave in 1983 on the occasion of his visit to Vienna from the loggia also the Easter blessing.
On September 7, 2007 Pope Benedict XVI celebrated with approximately 7,000 people in the pouring rain as the first major program of his Austria trip one Stational Mass. After just six minutes, the microphone of the Pope and the video walls became inoperative, which is why the speech of Benedict XVI. had to be stopped.

"On Saturday, May 11th, Occupy the Farm peacefully marched onto the Gill Tract to challenge the UC’s renewed plans for private, commercial development of this public agricultural resource, replacing 5-foot high weeds with thousands of squash, kale, basil, corn, lettuce and tomato plants, and even flowers.
Rather than recognizing this as an opportunity to position itself on the cutting edge of urban agriculture and participatory research, the University raided the farm on Monday, May 13, at 4:30 a.m. and violently arrested four peaceful farmers, three of whom were held for more than 60 hours before being released without charge. The University then ploughed over the farm that morning, destroying thousands of starts that, if nurtured, would have provided sustenance to local communities.
“This land has been vacant for years,” said an Occupy the Farm member, Matthew McHale, “the UC only destroyed the crops because it’s afraid that if the community sees what an amazing asset this would be as a community farm, they would refuse to let it be paved over.”
In protest of the UC’s actions, more than eighty farmers and community members re-converged on Monday afternoon for a rally, then marched back onto the farm to replant the field and recover some of the starts they had planted over the weekend. The University plowed the farm again Tuesday morning.
Since Occupy the Farm first planted on the Gill tract in April 2012, the group has organized at least 10 public forums focused on the Gill Tract as an asset to community-driven participatory research. The UC Berkeley administration has consistently failed to attend, despite being invited repeatedly. Students on campus however, support turning the land into an urban farm; last Spring the Associated Students of the University of California Senate unanimously passed a resolution in support of Occupy the Farm."

This morning I've gone back and added a few of last weeks shots to the set I started a couple of years ago. We've been returning to this place ever since we first discovered it in the late 1980's when our children were small.
From the Wikipedia article:
"Seaside is an unincorporated master-planned community on the Florida panhandle in Walton County, roughly midway between Fort Walton Beach and Panama City. It was founded by builder/developer Robert Davis in 1979 on land that he had inherited from his grandfather. The town plan was designed by architects/new urbanists Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk.
Seaside is often cited as an example of successful implementation of New Urbanism. Time magazine called it "the most astounding design achievement of its era and, one might hope, the most influential"[1] It has been used as a model for other new urbanist developments in the United States and abroad. However, some have criticized Seaside as being overly rigid, as the community's architectural standards provide strict limitations on the external aesthetics of the houses, resulting in conformity of style rather than creativity – which some people call a manufactured fantasy. Others have criticized the community for its lack of socioeconomic diversity, which they see as ironic given that the community was itself modeled on the diverse and urban neighborhoods of large North American cities such as New York City and San Francisco.
Many scenes of the 1998 film The Truman Show were shot at Seaside. The movie's director Peter Weir was planning on building a movie set town for the movie when his wife, Wendy, happened to see Seaside featured in an architect's magazine and thought it would be perfect for the film. The former superintendent of Okaloosa Schools, and now a member of the Florida Senate, state Senator Don Gaetz, was one of the original property owners of Seaside, and his personal cottage was utilized as the Burbanks' house in the film."

BEVERLY HILLS CONSTRUCTING PLANT
Ornate Water Project Located on Landscaped Site
----------
Beauty of architecture and landscaping make the new Beverly Hills water treatment plant, being completed at La Cienega Boulevard and Country Club Drive (Olympic Blvd. was called Country Club Drive originally), a public improvement project of unusual distinction. The structure calls for a cost of $147,882.73 and with site, machinery and verdurous adornment, the project represents an investment of about $350,000. The building faces on La Cienega Boulevard, the grounds extending to Country Club Drive on the south, Le Doux Road on the west and Gregory Way at the north. The structure was designed and planned by Salisbury, Bradshaw & Taylor. With its surrounding of trees, lawns, flowers and shrubs placed according to carefully devised landscaping plan, the place has the appearance of a beautiful park and, especially on the south side, lends itself to such purpose for visitors. Seymour Thoma, landscape architect, prepared the landscaping plans and the work is under inspection of George V. Chapman, Superintendent of Parks and Parkways at Beverly Hills, it was stated. A $400,000 bond issue, sanctioned at the election in Beverly Hills last Monday, will provide for installing two recreation parks, Mr. Chapman said. One will be located across the street to the east of the water plant and will occupy a site about ten acres, having La Cienega Boulevard, Country Club Drive and Gregory Way as its boundaries, it was announced. It will be equipped with tennis courts, baseball diamond, playgrounds, wading pools and other recreational facilities, Mr. Chapman said. The other contemplated park is to be located on a sixteen-acre site facing Country Club Drive on the south and Linden Drive on the east, it was stated. Mr. Chapman will supervise their installation.
These are some excerpts from another LA Times article about the fight to save the building:
(Nov. 16, 1986)
-Admirers of an abandoned waterworks in La Cienega Park in Beverly Hills hope to save the Spanish-style building despite plans to wreck it to make way for new athletic fields. "It's part of our heritage in the city," said Pauline Stein, chairwoman of the city's Architectural Commission. "I think it could be rehabilitated and there could be some adaptive re-use of the building."
-The concrete building, completed in 1928 at a cost of $147,882.73, was the first municipal water treatment plant on the West Coast, according to a study conducted for the American Society of Civil Engineers.
-Designed to resemble a Spanish Colonial hacienda, its cathedral-like rosette window, flying buttresses and 130-foot-high, Moorish-style tower have led generations of passers-by to believe that the structure is a church. In fact, the gray concrete walls and red tile roofs hide a warren of laboratories, treatment rooms and settling tanks that have fallen into disrepair since 1976, when the city began taking all its water from the Metropolitan Water District, a regional agency.
-"I think we need the open space {soccer fields} more," Salter said. "This is not to say that stuff with historical meaning shouldn't be saved, but I don't believe this is of that nature." (I'm really glad you were wrong, Mr. Salter)
-Although the building's southern end, where water was once sprayed into the air as part of a process to remove hydrogen sulfide from it, shows severe damage, the rest of the waterworks appears to be in good shape, said John Kariotis, a consulting structural engineer. He said the hydrogen sulfide weakened the concrete and exposed the steel reinforcing bars to rust.
-Built at a time before water was available from outside the city, the water treatment plant was designed to reduce the high concentration of dissolved solids in Beverly Hills ground water and to counter the characteristic "rotten eggs" odor caused by hydrogen sulfide. Once the chemical was recovered through the aeration process that damaged the southern end of the building, it was heated over a small oil stove at the base of the tower so that it would rise and dissipate into the atmosphere instead of wafting into neighboring homes.
-A recent visit to the abandoned structure found graffiti on virtually every inch of wall space, testimony to the visits of intruders who are periodically rousted by police.
-Despite that, and despite the plans that call for new tennis facilities and a field for baseball and soccer on the site, the unique qualities of the building should be taken into account, said Albert Hoxie, a retired architectural historian at UCLA. "It's good architecture and it's a good example of the period in which Beverly Hills flourished, that early great era of growth when they still had money to spend on things that were well done, and we're not going to get a lot more of that," he said. "Things are being torn down with such speed in Beverly Hills that if we don't start saving some things we're going to be in trouble."

You can never have everything you want. Since the time you are little your parents will tell you that you can not do what you want and make money, while doing it. It’s an axiom.
And then there are pro players.
Every week we put out interwiews with a pro LoL team. This week we are meeting the rising stars of NA. They did great at GameCon and IEM, faced against top world teams. This year they are trying out for LCS.
Each day we will do an AMA with one of the players. We’ll kick off tomorrow.
Let’s meet the members of Strike 5.

Am Hof historically is one of the most important places of Vienna. It is located between Bognergasse, Naglergasse, Heidenschuss, Färbergasse, Jews square and Schulhof in the oldest part of the city in the immediate vicinity of the medieval ghetto.
History

The square Am Hof was already part of the Roman military camp Vindobona and was uninhabited in the early Middle Ages.
Between 1155 and about 1275, the completion of the New Castle at the site of today's Swiss tract of the Hofburg, was here the Court of the Babenberg, that Henry Jasomirgott built himself in 1155/56, after he had moved his residence from Klosterneuburg (Lower Austria) to Vienna. This residence was a complex of buildings around an open space, so a court, with the home of the Duke as a center. To the north-west and southwest the "court" leaned against the wall of the Roman fort, into town, it was limited by gates against the bourgeois Old Town and Jewish Town. Here received Heinrich Jasomirgott and his wife Theodora in 1165 Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, who was on the Third Crusade to the Holy Land.
Under Henry's son Leopold V was the tournament and subsequent market place 1177-1194 scene of glittering events where singers and poets such as Reinmar of Haguenau and his student Walther von der Vogelweide appeared in minstrelsy-contests.
With the move of the Prince Regnants in the Swiss wing of the then much smaller Hofburg in 1275, came the "Babenbergerpfalz" (Am Hof) in the late 13th century to the Princely Mint. The houses no. 10 and no. 12 the neighboring ghetto around the Jews square were incorporated. From 1340 At the Court were held markets. In 1365 it came to the temporary accommodation of the Carmelites in the Mint, 1386 to the official donation by Albrecht III., the place for the first time being called "Am Hof". The Carmelites instead of Roman Mint court chapel (Münzhofkapelle) erected a three-nave Gothic monastery church, that they finished about 1420. The Gothic choir still today is visible from the alley behind it. The Carmelites had already owned the house of the Jew Muschal, to that they obtained yet more houses, inter alia, the by Albrecht III. purchased house of the poet Peter Suchenwirt.
The place was originally isolated from the nearby Freyung by houses that left only a narrow connection alley and were demolished in 1846. As early as from the 14th century, it was used as a market, later also as a place of execution. 1463 was here the mayor Wolfgang Holzer on command of Albrecht Vl. executed. 1515 the Habsburg-Jagellonian double wedding of Emperor Maximilian I was held here. In the 16th and 17th centuries the place was also called Crab market, since saltwater fish and crabs were offered. In the 18th century at the market only vegetables and fruits were sold.
After the handing over of the church and convent to the Jesuits in 1554, the square was listening to the name of "At the Upper Jesuits" and was the scene of spiritual performances of the Jesuits before their church. After the dissolution of the Jesuit order in 1773 the place was again called "Am Hof". The convent building of the Jesuits was 1783-1913 the seat of the Imperial War Council and the War Ministry.
1782 Pius VI. from the terrace of the church gave the blessing Urbi et Orbi. On August 6, 1806 also from the loggia of the church announced an Imperial herald the end of the Holy Roman Empire, at the top of which the Habsburgs had stood for over half a millennium, and the abdication of the Imperial crown by Francis II.:"... that We the band, which has bound us until now to the body politic of the German Empire, as having been dissolved consider".
Took place on 14 March 1848 in the wake of the 1848 revolution the storming of the Arsenal, on 6 October the minister of war Theodor Count Baillet von Latour was pulled out from the building, killed and by the crowd hung in the middle of the square on a lantern. The place for a short time was called "People's Square".
1842-1918 and 1939-1942, the Christmas market Am Hof enjoyed great popularity. In 1973, arose here the Vienna Flea market, which in 1977 due to space limitations was relocated on the Naschmarkt. Today again yearly a Christmas market is taking place.
In 1892, before the building of the k.k. Hofkriegsrathsgebäude (the War Department), the equestrian statue of Field Marshal Radetzky of Caspar von Zumbusch was unveiled, which was transferred in 1912 before the newly constructed building of the War Department At Stubenring. The place of the Hofkriegsratsgebäude in 1915 took the Headquarters of the Länderbank.
Furthermore, Am Hof was still the main police station (Hauptwache), the Nunciature and the Lower chamber office.
In Carol Reed's film "The Third Man" (filmed in 1948) the place Am Hof appears prominently, on it stands the advertising column, through which one enters the underworld of the Vienna sewer system.
1962-63 in the course of excavations for an underground garage under the square Am Hof remains of the Roman settlement have been found. In the basement of the present fire station in original location a piece of the main channel of the camp can be visited, which absorbed the wastewater from the southern camp and led it into the Deep Ditch to the brook Ottakringerbach.
Pope John Paul II. did as his predecessor had done and gave in 1983 on the occasion of his visit to Vienna from the loggia also the Easter blessing.
On September 7, 2007 Pope Benedict XVI celebrated with approximately 7,000 people in the pouring rain as the first major program of his Austria trip one Stational Mass. After just six minutes, the microphone of the Pope and the video walls became inoperative, which is why the speech of Benedict XVI. had to be stopped.
