OK....a lot going on here. First off as soon as I noticed this pink ticket on the windshield as I left the coffee shop where I'd had an extended brunch, I thought (or rather hoped) it was from a Friend that had drove by and left a sweet note. LOL Not so. So me being the civic minded individual, I drove straight to the City Hall and paid the fine ($5.00) without paying much attention. After I posted it on FB, some of my friends pointed out the date was from the future (Did Jean Claude van Damme return from Time Cop to write this ticket?) . Strange things already happening in 2013.

People of a house in Chowkbazar area of Chittagong city could not come out of their house for 17 hours due to the effect of heavy rain and tidal water. Every year during the rainy season the people here are subjected to extreme floods and their life becomes difficult. Although the city authorities are trying to solve this problem, the work is slow due to people's ignorance.
Waterlogging has occurred in various parts of Chittagong due to continuous heavy rain, waterlogging has occurred on various roads of Chittagong city due to heavy rain. It has caused severe traffic jam on the road. Due to flooding, almost half of the city's roads and streets are submerged in water. One of the causes of this water pollution is plastic polythene cokesheets and man-made waste, such as many shops selling one-time cups and polythene packaging products. After using that product, as there are no bins in the shops, the packaging is thrown directly by the shopkeepers and common people into the streets or drains. As these packaging products are non-biodegradable, they accumulate in drains and increase the intensity of waterlogging.

This document is a telephone message, from Inspector Colman based in Cairns to the Commissioner of Police at Brisbane, regarding the riot that occured on the 17 July 1932 between unemployed workers, police and members of the public at the Cairns Showground.
While there were a number of violent clashes between the unemployed and authorities during the Great Depression, one of the most symbolic incidents occurred at Cairns in July 1932. When Cairns City Council failed to honour its promise to provide accommodation, approximately 200 unemployed men formed a camp in Parramatta Park, venue for the annual agricultural show. As the opening of the show approached, Mayor W.A. Collins warned the squatters that they would have to vacate the site. When threats failed to have the desired effect, the city fathers organised a large vigilante force which, armed with lethal makeshift weapons, descended on a hastily-erected barricade set up by the unemployed.
The vigilantes were supported by approximately 30 police, and with overwhelming numbers on their side they soon took possession of the grounds. At least 100 people, mostly unemployed, were injured - some seriously. Yet it was three of the unemployed who were convicted and imprisoned for assault. Another four were charged with the same offence and acquitted. They had in fact done little more than demand their basic rights, and the ‘Cairns Unemployment Riot’ had an important two-fold impact. On one hand it created a new militancy among the unemployed and destitute. On a more positive note, the incident encouraged local authorities elsewhere in Queensland to avoid similar violence by providing temporary accommodation for the unemployed.

Vi finner det rett å måtte henstille til hver enkelt lærer å vise den skarpeste aktpågivenhet, således at det ikke blir skåret, tegnet eller skrevet på pultene og i vinduskarmene, på veggene i klasserom og ganger eller på noe av skolens materiell. Pulter og annet materiell må derfor til stadighet ettersees.
Likeledes må elevenes skoleforklær (kitler, arbeidsfrakker) om nødvendig straks vaskes (eventuelt renses), så de ikke er forsynt med noensomhelst tegn, merke eller bokstaver, unntatt elevenes og / eller skolens navn.
De ovennevnte forholdsregler er et viktig ledd i arbeidet for å verne skolens arbeidsro.

As I liked science I had been dreaming of becoming a pharmacist. I could only dream as I knew I wasn't bright enough to take A Levels and go to university. After visiting a Careers Fair I came back elated after learning that there were career opportunities in laboratories that didn't require a degree. The person on the University of East Anglia stand had told me about laboratory technicians who supported teaching and research.
I was so keen that my Dad helped me draft this letter straight away. It was then checked by my School Head Master. His alterations can be seen in red. I rewrote the letter in my best hand and sent it off on 20th Jan 1969. I went for an interview on the 28th Jan and was recalled on the 7th Mar. A job offer followed.

Our after-school students at Tam High are building a City of the Future together, using arts and electronics to make a model of what our world may be like in 100 years.
In our second class, they designed the city they envision for this project and took turns discussing their ideas with each other. In their post-apocalyptic scenario, the rich are separated from the poor, who mine the sea floor and are oppressed by a government run by machines.
They also picked characters and objects for their city -- some of which will be laser cut and printed in 3D. Next, they learned to solder stick figures out of copper wire, then made light circuits with LEDs and batteries. Finally, they added these lights to their futuristic homes, which they continued to decorate with gift wrapping paper, art supplies and everyday objects.
We have a great group of eight middle school students, ages 12 to 14, in this after-school class. Through this course, students will develop a range of skills, from creative expression to science and engineering (STEAM). And they will learn to create their own interactive art with simple electronics, in a playful way that makes learning more fun.

On the history of women's studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna
1897
Conservative journalist A.F. Seligmann founded the art school for women and girls and taught there as a single teacher 16 students in the "Curs for head and act". 1898 expands the school: Tina Blau, a former teacher of the Munich artists association conducts 1.1.1898 a "Curs for landscape and still-life", which she held until 1915. Richard Kauffungen was nominated for sculpture, Ludwig Michalek led the "Curs for head and act" as well as an Radierkurs (etching course), Adolf Böhm the course for decorative and applied arts, Fabiani teaches ornamentation and style of teaching as well as "Modern home furnishings", Georg Klimt taught metalwork, Friedrich King wood cutting art and Hans Tichy from 1900 the drawing and painting from the living model. In all these teachers are moderate modern artists from the area of the Secession. The theoretical lectures are held in the company founded by Emil Zuckerkandl and Julius Tandler 1900 "Association of Austrian university lecturers Athenaeum", which had the task to be "an educational institution for members of the female sex". The first school year was completed with 64 students, the school is rapidly expanding, so that it forms 200-300 students annually within a few years. The steady growth is due to the restrictive attitude of the public schools of art (especially the academy) towards women, but also from the indiscriminate admission of which have been blamed all the private schools also on the part of women harshly, and just by women.
1904
The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna is one of the many requests for opening the Academy for students once again putting the old arguments against that women are rarely equipped with creative spirit in the field of great art and the other a "proliferation of dilettantism and a pushing back of male members" is to be feared. Just the idea of a joint education had "abhorred" the College. The Academy therefore advocates for the financial support of the art school for women and girls, and rejects the application for opening the academy for women unanimously. The main argument for the impossibility of the joint Aktzeichnens (nude drawing) and the need for a second Aktsaales (nude hall) is increasingly mentioned, which cannot be realized because lack of space and lack of money. Henni Lehmann (Artistic studies of women, Darmstadt 1913) countered the same argument in Germany: "The common nude studies of women and men can not be described as impossible as it is done in many places, without having shown any grievances". The objection of the Quorum of the Berlin University professors that no teacher could be forced to teach women at all in such delicate subjects is countered that the problem was easily solved by entrusting a lady the Aktunterricht (nude drawing) in ladies. Suitable artists were plentiful present. That the life drawing for a long time (until 1937) remained problematic, shows the application of the renowned sculptor Teresa F. Ries of 1931, in which she was offering the Academy her services for the purpose of the management of a yet to be affiliated department, where young girls separated from the young men could work under the direction of a woman. The application was not even put to a vote.
1912
The rector of the Munich Academy also does not believe in the inclusion of students (female ones): "... it is impossible, even with regard to the space conditions, apart from that that the aspirations of the artists who devote themselves to the arts especially are usually others than that of women..."
1913
No significant change in attitude can be found between the opinions of the Academies from 1904 and those of 1913.
1919
In the report from the College's meeting of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna to the State Office of Internal Affairs and Teaching is communicated that against the requested admission there were no fundamental objections, but that the Academy is so limited in spatial relationship, that after the experiences of the last entrance exams not even the majority of gifted young artists, capable of studying, could be included, and therefore, in case of the admission of women to the study initially had to be made a considerable expansion. The State Office counters that a further delay in the admission of women to the academic study could not be justified and that approval is to allow at least temporarily in a narrow frame.
1920
The State Office for the Interior and Education officially approved the admission of women to study at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (since 1919 women were admitted to all faculties of the University of Vienna, with the exception of the Catholic and Protestant Theological Faculty).
A committee consisting of the professors Bacher, Delug, Schmutzer, and Jettmar Muellner claims that the Academy has never pronounced in principle against women's studies but have always only expressed reservations because of the cramped space and financial situation. As a complete novelty proves that no more concerns are raised with regard to coeducation. Men and women should compete in the entrance examination. In the winter semester 1920/21 will be included 14 women, of course, representing only a small minority in relation to the 250 male students.
1926/1927
In the new study regulations are for the first time mentioned Schüler (M) and Schülerinnen (F).
March 1927
Report of the Academy of Fine and Applied Arts about the experiences regarding the access of women to universities: ..."in past years it was thought for the education of women and girls by the Academy of Women for Liberal and Applied Art, which is also equipped with academic classes and by the State subsidized, sufficiently having taken precautions: during a period of almost seven years of study, it was probably possible to get a clear picture about the access applications of women, and about the degree course ... Of course, the number of female candidates in the painting is strongest, weaker in sculpture, and very low in the architecture. As much already now can be said, that in no way in terms of education in the new admissions the women are left behind the male candidates. During the study period, the female students are not in diligence and seriousness of studying behind their male colleagues. Particularly gratifying can be emphasized that because of the co-education of both sexes in common rooms in the individual schools a win-win situation for everybody was. In the master schools the College was repeatedly able also honouring women with academic prices. Subsuming, it should be emphasized that our experiences with the study of women in the Academy of Fine Arts were quite favorable."
The number of students (Studentinnen) increased from 5 % in the winter semester 1920/1921 till 1939/1940 to about 25 %. After the annexation of Austria to Nazi Germany, the number of students (Studentinnen) decreased. The proportion of female students rose after 1940 naturally, reached during the war years up to 70 % and amounted 1945/1946 to 65%. From 1946/1947 the number of students (Studentinnen) fell sharply again, so 1952/1953 only 20% of the students at the Academy were women. 1963/1964 there were, however, already 41% (278).
