Côte d’Ivoire and Marshall Island: this exchange was organized around the idea of friendship. The students have exchanged letters explaining their own vision of friendship, and presenting their daily life in their country. In addition, each one has made a friendship bracelet (symbolizing friendship and peaceful behaviors), and have exchanged them with their pen pals.
Working with Art in all of us was an incredible opportunity for my students. Many of them have a very limited concept of the world beyond their tiny island. Working with AiA allowed my students to view kids all over the world and engage in a conversation about their similarities and differences. We also had the opportunity to be pen pals with students in Africa. This allowed my students to not only see other children from around the world but also engage with them. My students and I are grateful to have been part of this wonderful program. (Teacher in charge of the PPP in Marshall Island).
Since finding Art in All of Us on the internet, it has really changed my teaching experience. I feel I have been able to enhance not only my students art education, but their lives. We've made some wonderful connections and have met some amazing people, from teachers, to students, to the founders of AiA. It's inspiring to be part of a global community who fosters the best not only in students and teachers... but humanity in general. I thank (…) Art in All of Us for opening up a whole new world to me and my students! (Teacher in charge of the PPP in Côte d’Ivoire)
The reception of the art works from the pals have brought in every participating school happiness, and a feeling of fulfillment, as well as many questions … which will introduce new and interesting exchanges for 2007. The students absolutely loved the original rap written by one of your students of Marshall Islands... our student William was the singer! He took it home and performed it for his mother and father too! There are two snaps of them. They were mailed out today... and the students are already anxiously awaiting the reply. We finished them on Wednesday and all day Thursday the students were asking me if I mailed them out yet! (Teacher in charge of the PPP in Côte d’Ivoire)
History
The 1812 founded Society of Friends of Music of the Austrian Empire (now the Society of Friends of Music in Vienna) has set itself essentially three major tasks:
- The organization of concerts
- Collecting material of all kinds for documenting the music and musical life
- The maintenance of a conservatory.
The latter, often referred to as the Vienna Conservatory, became the leading musical training center of the Austro-Hungarian Empire but it had, because for sponsorship by a private association it had become too big, to be handed over in 1909 to state control; first it became the academy and finally today's University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna. The other two self-set tasks fulfills the Society of the Friends of Music today as ever organized privately and independently on the basis of an association. Its home is the "Musikverein" (Vienna I, Bösendorfer street 12), built according to plans by Theophil Hansen and founded in 1870. It is the third own building in the history of the company.
The documentary and scientific objectives are met in archives, libraries and collections of the Society of Friends of Music, though, often abbreviated just to "Archive". This historic division split into three groups is concerning the content structured as follows:
Archives: music and letter autographs, music manuscripts, the actual file archive on the history of the Society and the Conservatory (with student matriculation register).
Library: handwritten and printed books (including medieval music manuscripts and tablatures), song books, magazines and other periodicals, librettos, printed documents of various kinds.
Collections: historic and non-European musical instruments, musical mementos, portrait and picture collections (portraits, topographic, historical, musical and theatrical representations in oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, all printing techniques and photographs), busts, statues, reliefs and medals.
The beginning of the collection activity falls into that period where just developed the musical historicism, for example, sheet music that became obsolete or musical instruments not in use anymore that appeared collectible. The stock has been and is by purchases and gifts, in the 19th century for a long time also by surrender of goods of the statutory copies by the police authority, supplemented.
The responsibility initially was in the hands of volunteer employees and officials of the Society (among them such well-known figures such as Raphael Georg Kiesewetter or Aloys Fuchs were) and since 1865 in those of salaried archive directors and their staff. Among them were well-known scientists such as Gustav Nottebohm, Carl Ferdinand Pohl, Eusebius Mandyczewksi and Karl Geiringer.
The purchases ranged from the library of Ernst Ludwig Gerber, in which again the library of Johann Gottfried Walther was included (1814), and the 1824 purchased musical instrument collection of Franz Glöggl from this one to acquisitions from the estate of Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert and further to the in late 19th century become customary and until the mid-1930s possible acquisitions of special individual pieces by patrons. After an interruption during the Nazi and postwar period it was not until the mid-1970s that it came to a continuous and significant continuation of collecting.
This break was twofold. After the dissolution ("decommissioning") of the Society and its subsequent inclusion in the Berlin "State Theater and Stage Academy" was planned this facility, which still bore the name of "Society of Friends of Music", exclusively to concentrate on the concert circuit. The music instrument collection was placed in the Museum of Art History. Archive and library should be transferred to the National Library (which ultimately not happened). Every active collection activity the by the new rulers taken over employees was prohibited. Finally, they were allowed, as long as archive and library are located at the Musikverein building, as hitherto, to accept any gifts, but with the following restrictions: only of small value and not owned by Jews or Jewish pre-possession. Higher-quality gifts and objects owned by Jews were reserved for other institutions. In May 1945, the Society as an independent association was re-established. Severe war damage to the building, the difficult re-establishement of a concert circuit and all the economic problems of this time a long consolidation phase have required that with several setbacks lasted to the sixties. Thus, for example, was doubted whether they could take back at all the collection of musical instruments located at the Kunsthistorisches Museum, so it came only in 1971 to a partial and in 1988 to a total return. It was only in the seventies, that it came to the slow resumption of a targeted programmatic collection activity for archive, library and collection through purchases or with the effort to get special gifts or estates.
Besides the already mentioned examples of purchases, from the beginning on gifts were essential for the building up of the stocks. Often essential pieces came from individuals, but crucial for the growing reputation of stocks were estates. Highlighted only should be the estates of archduke Rudolph of Austria (1831), Joseph Sonnleithner (1835), Carl Czerny (1857), Joseph Ritter von Spaun (1865), Simon Sechter (1867), Leopold von Sonnleithner (1873), Ludwig Ritter von Kochel (1877), Count Victor Wimpffen (1892), Johannes Brahms (1897), Nicolaus Dumba (1900), Ludwig Bösendorfer (1919), Alfred Grünfeld (1927) and after a long pause that of Gottfried von Einem (as premature legacy 1979), Francis Burt (1981 premature legacy), Karl Pfannhauser (1984), Immogen Fellinger (2001) and Ernst Märzendorfer (2009). Even of the well-known gift donors, leaving stocks from their own property, only a few can be mentioned in selection: The city of Lübeck (1814), Georg August Griesinger (1814), Raphael Georg Kiesewetter (several times), Aloys Fuchs (many times), archduke Leopold Ludwig of Austria (1865), Joseph Dessauer (1870), emperor Franz Joseph I. (1879, 1905), family Haslinger (1887), Dr. Joseph Standthartner (1888), Marie Schumann (1913), Else Billroth (1915), Alma Maria Gropius-Mahler (1917), Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1917, 1937), monsignor Dr. Charles Weczerzik-Planheim (1923, a violin from Franz Geissenhoff, remarkable because this was the only string instrument of standard type or conventional design and till the end of the 20th century remained that was included in the collection of musical instruments), Anton von Webern (1937), Anthony van Hoboken (1977), HC Robbins Landon (2002), Renate and Kurt Hofmann (2002), Gottfried Scholz (2007, 2014).
Although according to the original intentions "music in all its styles" should be collected and documented, hence, without time and spatial restriction, and here actually also sources on English, French, Italian and Eastern European music history exist, in the stock development but main areas have resulted which may be titled as follows: Renaissance and early Baroque, Italian Baroque opera, Vienna classical and pre-classical, Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms and his circle, Gustav Mahler, Austrian music of the 20th century.
The broadly based collection area the stocks also for the art, literature, cultural and social history makes interesting.

The rail car that started the light rail development boom in North America.
Originally designed for and used by the Frankfurt U-Bahn, the model of car was adopted for light-rail use by transit systems in Edmonton, Calgary, and San Diego, during a period in which few purpose-built trams were being manufactured in North America. All U2 cars were built between 1968 and 1990.
The model was chosen for operations in San Diego in 1979, however, the planned platform level was lower than their counterpart system, so a street-level version was developed, and 71 vehicles were eventually delivered in stages.
MTS broke ground on the Trolley Renewal project in early 2010, the bulk of its U2 fleet was retired in 2013. MTS exported 11 cars to a system in Argentina in early 2010. These cars entered service on the Metrotranvia Mendoza system in 2012 with a further 24 for expansion and parts donors following later that year.
MTS retired their last U2 vehicles in January 2015, coinciding with low floor S70 cars being deployed on its Blue Line. MTS has retained Car 1001 as part of its heritage fleet of light rail vehicles. It was restored and painted with the original San Diego Trolley logo that it used when service started in 1981. It began operating on the Silver Line on July 13, 2019 and will run alongside San Diego PCC cars 529 and 530.
Six examples are preserved by various museums and nonprofits:
* San Diego Electric Railway Association (SDERA) - Car 1002, now on display in National City.
* Southern California Railway Museum - Cars 1003 and 1008, operate regularly on the Museum system, independently and as a two-car train.
* Western Railway Museum - Cars 1017 and 1018, operate on museum excursions.
* Rockhill Trolley Museum - Car 1019 operates regularly on the Museum system.

The CredibilityLab at Mishal Pakistan launched the Media Credibility Index (MCI), an initiative started in January 2013 in collaboration with Pakistan Coalition for Ethical Journalism, leading research and academic institutions, and media practitioners. The launch ceremony was held in Islamabad where prominent media professionals, representatives of regulatory bodies, media development organizations and members of the civil society participated. The Index focuses on the relative credibility and believability of various media channels through which content is created.
Addressing the participants, Founder and Director, Ethical Journalism Network, Aidan White said that launch of the Media Credibility Index is a landmark moment for media accountability in Pakistan. In a country where people are overwhelmed by a torrent of information on all sides, and where corruption lurks in all areas of public life, the greatest challenge facing journalists and media professionals is to produce information that is reliable, useful and above all truthful.
The MCI provides fundamentals for analyzing media discourse in the country. By using benchmarks provided by professionals at national and international level, the MCI provides an opportunity to examine how the news analysis and commentary of high profile news anchors contribute to better understanding of complex issues in Pakistan’s robust landscape of journalism and politics, he further added.
Speaking at on the occasion, Dr. Nazir Saeed, Federal Secretary for Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage said, “Television has an overwhelming impact on peoples’ decision-making power. The significance of the Media Credibility Index is in its use and ability to highlight content that can empower both the newsmakers and the information seekers; enabling them to create an effective knowledge ecosystem in the country. MCI has the potential of becoming the source for an informed decision making tool in public policy debate. MCI will promote ethical content practices in the country, information that tells stories not just about the powerful, but also about the powerless, and not just about the life of the decision makers, but also about issues concerning the masses”.
“I feel proud of the fact that the Media Credibility Index has been launched in Pakistan and can be a benchmark for other countries in the world for promoting, balanced, ethical and fair journalism practices”, said Dr. Nazir Saeed.
Center for International Media Ethics (CIME) Ambassador for Pakistan, Puruesh Chaudhary said that the index has been developed after an extensive examination of media laws, ethical principals drafted by different media groups, compliance regulations formulated by regulatory bodies and journalistic organizations. The MCI will explore the state of media in Pakistan against six indicators and 20 sub-indices. The results are currently being published on a weekly basis on the Media Credibility Index website as well.
Senior journalist and founder, Pakistan Coalition for Ethical Journalism, Muhammad Ziauddin said that Mishal has incorporated more than thirty code of conducts, principles of ethical journalism, which include currently prevalent seven national code of conducts and twenty four international code of ethics from international regulatory bodies, which have been agreed upon across the globe. He further said, that the codes of ethics framed by the Pakistani media groups have also being included within the index, these entail Jang group’s Geo Asool, Dunya’s code of ethics, Express group’s journalism code of conduct and Dawn Group’s principles and code of conduct.
After reviewing the principles of journalism and codes of ethics for journalists; six media credibility indicators with 20 sub-indices have been developed in order to assess the media discourse and credibility of current affairs anchors in Pakistan. This extensive study entails thirty-five current affairs programming of the mainstream Pakistani news channels. The Credibility of the anchors and content discourse is being assessed on; Professional Competence, Ethics, Accuracy, Balance, Timeliness and Fairness.
Chief Executive Officer, Mishal Pakistan, Amir Jahangir said the CredibilityLab, through its activities will further strengthen the Triple Helix concept, which relies on three main ideas: (1) a more prominent role for the University in creating new though and research processes, bringing them on par with the Industry and Government that form the basis of a Knowledge Society; (2) a movement toward collaborative relationships among the three major institutional spheres, in which information and knowledge policy is increasingly an outcome of interaction rather than a prescription from the Government; (3) in addition to fulfilling their traditional functions, each institutional sphere also “takes the role of the ‘other’ performing new roles as well as their traditional function.
The CredibilityLab at Mishal will be publishing its research on the state of media and competitiveness in Pakistan in collaboration with its partners. The MCI research has been one of the few initiatives in Pakistan, where research work has been collaborated with eleven academic partners in the country, including University of the Punjab, International Islamic University, Fatima Jinnah Women University, Lahore College for Women University, University of Gujrat, Government College University Faisalabad, Islamia University Bhawalpur, University of Balouchistan, Greenwich University and Bharia University.
Mishal Pakistan is the partner institute of the Global Competitiveness and Benchmarking Networks, World Economic Forum. Mishal assists the forum in creating the soft-data on Pakistan, identifying Pakistan’s competitiveness challenges. Mishal has also launched Pakistan’s first journalism awards “AGAHI Awards” on the framework designed jointly with the Center for International Media Ethics and UNESCO’s Media Development Indicators.
As a partner institute Mishal has been working closely with the World Economic Forum on measuring Pakistan’s performance on multiple international indices and reports i.e. Global Competitiveness Index, Global Gender Gap Index, Global Enabling Trade Index, Global Information Technology Report – Network Readiness Index, Financial Development Index and the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index.
