The young women who attend Cullman Middle School recently got the opportunity to learn hardcore, advanced self defense skills from Officer Cindy Rohrscheib of the Cullman Police Department.
Officer Robrscheib is a certified instructor in the Equalizer Self-Defense Program. She has helped train police officers and deputies throughout the Cullman County area. She is now also assisting the general public in safety awareness and women’s self-defense training across all ages groups.
Physical Education Coach Leann Evans has teamed up with Officer Rohrscheib over the last 8 years to provide this Equalizer Self-Defense Training to willing female students at Cullman Middle School. Each year brings the tried and true methods of the Equalizer system along with evolving techniques and amazing nuances designed by Officer Rohrscheib. This year’s new innovation involved escape techniques employed if students are bound by duct tape and/or rope by would-be potential attackers of captors.
This year’s program ran for a full two week session. It was challenging, rigorous and fun!

Main building of the Kunsthistorisches Museum at Maria-Theresa-Square
The Kunsthistorisches Museum (KHM abbreviated) is an art museum in Vienna. It is one of the largest and most important museums in the world. It was opened in 1891 and 2012 visited of 1.351.940 million people.
The museum
The Kunsthistorisches Museum is with its opposite sister building, the Natural History Museum (Naturhistorisches Museum), the most important historicist large buildings of the Ringstrasse time. Together they stand around the Maria Theresa square, on which also the Maria Theresa monument stands. This course spans the former glacis between today's ring road and 2-line, and is forming a historical landmark that also belongs to World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Vienna.
History
Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in his Gallery
The Museum came from the collections of the Habsburgs, especially from the portrait and armor collections of Ferdinand of Tyrol, the collection of Emperor Rudolf II (most of which, however scattered) and the art collection of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm into existence. Already In 1833 asked Joseph Arneth, curator (and later director) of the Imperial Coins and Antiquities Cabinet, bringing together all the imperial collections in a single building .
Architectural History
The contract to build the museum in the city had been given in 1858 by Emperor Franz Joseph. Subsequently, many designs were submitted for the ring road zone. Plans by August Sicard von Sicardsburg and Eduard van der Null planned to build two museum buildings in the immediate aftermath of the Imperial Palace on the left and right of the Heroes' Square (Heldenplatz). The architect Ludwig Förster planned museum buildings between the Schwarzenberg Square and the City Park, Martin Ritter von Kink favored buildings at the corner Währingerstraße/ Scots ring (Schottenring), Peter Joseph, the area Bellariastraße, Moritz von Loehr the south side of the opera ring, and Ludwig Zettl the southeast side of the grain market (Getreidemarkt).
From 1867, a competition was announced for the museums, and thereby set their current position - at the request of the Emperor, the museum should not be too close to the Imperial Palace, but arise beyond the ring road. The architect Carl von Hasenauer participated in this competition and was able the at that time in Zürich operating Gottfried Semper to encourage to work together. The two museum buildings should be built here in the sense of the style of the Italian Renaissance. The plans got the benevolence of the imperial family. In April 1869, there was an audience with of Joseph Semper at the Emperor Franz Joseph and an oral contract was concluded, in July 1870 was issued the written order to Semper and Hasenauer.
Crucial for the success of Semper and Hasenauer against the projects of other architects were among others Semper's vision of a large building complex called "Imperial Forum", in which the museums would have been a part of. Not least by the death of Semper in 1879 came the Imperial Forum not as planned for execution, the two museums were built, however.
Construction of the two museums began without ceremony on 27 November 1871 instead. Semper moved to Vienna in the sequence. From the beginning, there were considerable personal differences between him and Hasenauer, who finally in 1877 took over sole construction management. 1874, the scaffolds were placed up to the attic and the first floor completed, built in 1878, the first windows installed in 1879, the Attica and the balustrade from 1880 to 1881 and built the dome and the Tabernacle. The dome is topped with a bronze statue of Pallas Athena by Johannes Benk.
The lighting and air conditioning concept with double glazing of the ceilings made the renunciation of artificial light (especially at that time, as gas light) possible, but this resulted due to seasonal variations depending on daylight to different opening times .

Empire
The Kunsthistorisches Museum was on 17 October 1891 officially opened by Emperor Franz Joseph I. Since 22 October 1891 , the museum is accessible to the public. Two years earlier, on 3 November 1889, the collection of arms, Arms and Armour today, had their doors open. On 1 January 1890 the library service resumed its operations. The merger and listing of other collections of the Highest Imperial Family from the Upper and Lower Belvedere, the Hofburg Palace and Ambras in Tyrol will need another two years.
189, the farm museum was organized in seven collections with three directorates:
Directorate of coins, medals and antiquities collection
The Egyptian Collection
The Antique Collection
The coins and medals collection
Management of the collection of weapons, art and industrial objects
Weapons collection
Collection of industrial art objects
Directorate of Art Gallery and Restaurieranstalt (Restoration Office)
Collection of watercolors, drawings, sketches, etc.
Restoration Office
Library
Very soon the room the Court Museum (Hofmuseum) for the imperial collections was offering became too narrow. To provide temporary help, an exhibition of ancient artifacts from Ephesus in the Theseus Temple was designed. However, additional space had to be rented in the Lower Belvedere.
1914, after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne, his " Estonian Forensic Collection " passed to the administration of the Court Museum. This collection, which emerged from the art collection of the house of d' Este and world travel collection of Franz Ferdinand, was placed in the New Imperial Palace since 1908. For these stocks, the present collection of old musical instruments and the Museum of Ethnology emerged.
The First World War went by, apart from the oppressive economic situation without loss. The farm museum remained during the five years of war regularly open to the public.
Until 1919 the K.K. Art Historical Court Museum was under the authority of the Oberstkämmereramt (head chamberlain office) and belonged to the House of Habsburg-Lorraine. The officials and employees were part of the royal household.
First Republic
The transition from monarchy to republic, in the museum took place in complete tranquility. On 19 November 1918 the two imperial museums on Maria Theresa Square were placed under the state protection of the young Republic of German Austria. Threatening to the stocks of the museum were the claims raised in the following weeks and months of the "successor states" of the monarchy as well as Italy and Belgium on Austrian art collection. In fact, it came on 12th February 1919 to the violent removal of 62 paintings by armed Italian units. This "art theft" left a long time trauma among curators and art historians.
It was not until the Treaty of Saint-Germain of 10 September 1919, providing in Article 195 and 196 the settlement of rights in the cultural field by negotiations. The claims of Belgium, Czechoslovakia, and Italy again could mostly being averted in this way. Only Hungary, which presented the greatest demands by far, was met by more than ten years of negotiation in 147 cases.
On 3 April 1919 was the expropriation of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine by law and the acquisition of its property, including the "Collections of the Imperial House" , by the Republic. Of 18 June 1920 the then provisional administration of the former imperial museums and collections of Este and the secular and clergy treasury passed to the State Office of Internal Affairs and Education, since 10 November 1920, the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Education. A few days later it was renamed the Art History Court Museum in the "Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna State", 1921 "Kunsthistorisches Museum" . Of 1st January 1921 the employees of the museum staff passed to the state of the Republic.
Through the acquisition of the former imperial collections owned by the state, the museum found itself in a complete new situation. In order to meet the changed circumstances in the museum area, designed Hans Tietze in 1919 the "Vienna Museum program". It provided a close cooperation between the individual museums to focus at different houses on main collections. So dominated exchange, sales and equalizing the acquisition policy in the interwar period. Thus resulting until today still valid collection trends. Also pointing the way was the relocation of the weapons collection from 1934 in its present premises in the New Castle, where since 1916 the collection of ancient musical instruments was placed.
With the change of the imperial collections in the ownership of the Republic the reorganization of the internal organization went hand in hand, too. Thus the museum was divided in 1919 into the
Egyptian and Near Eastern Collection (with the Oriental coins)
Collection of Classical Antiquities
Collection of ancient coins
Collection of modern coins and medals
Weapons collection
Collection of sculptures and crafts with the Collection of Ancient Musical Instruments

The Museum 1938-1945
Count Philipp Ludwig Wenzel Sinzendorf according to Rigaud. Clarisse 1948 by Baroness de Rothschildt "dedicated" to the memory of Baron Alphonse de Rothschildt; restituted to the Rothschilds in 1999, and in 1999 donated by Bettina Looram Rothschild, the last Austrian heiress.
With the "Anschluss" of Austria to the German Reich all Jewish art collections such as the Rothschilds were forcibly "Aryanised". Collections were either "paid" or simply distributed by the Gestapo at the museums. This resulted in a significant increase in stocks. But the KHM was not the only museum that benefited from the linearization. Systematically looted Jewish property was sold to museums, collections or in pawnshops throughout the empire.
After the war, the museum struggled to reimburse the "Aryanised" art to the owners or their heirs. They forced the Rothschild family to leave the most important part of their own collection to the museum and called this "dedications", or "donations". As a reason, was the export law stated, which does not allow owners to perform certain works of art out of the country. Similar methods were used with other former owners. Only on the basis of international diplomatic and media pressure, to a large extent from the United States, the Austrian government decided to make a change in the law (Art Restitution Act of 1998, the so-called Lex Rothschild). The art objects were the Rothschild family refunded only in the 1990s.
The Kunsthistorisches Museum operates on the basis of the federal law on the restitution of art objects from the 4th December 1998 (Federal Law Gazette I, 181 /1998) extensive provenance research. Even before this decree was carried out in-house provenance research at the initiative of the then archive director Herbert Haupt. This was submitted in 1998 by him in collaboration with Lydia Grobl a comprehensive presentation of the facts about the changes in the inventory levels of the Kunsthistorisches Museum during the Nazi era and in the years leading up to the State Treaty of 1955, an important basis for further research provenance.
The two historians Susanne Hehenberger and Monika Löscher are since 1st April 2009 as provenance researchers at the Kunsthistorisches Museum on behalf of the Commission for Provenance Research operating and they deal with the investigation period from 1933 to the recent past.
The museum today
Today the museum is as a federal museum, with 1st January 1999 released to the full legal capacity - it was thus the first of the state museums of Austria, implementing the far-reaching self-financing. It is by far the most visited museum in Austria with 1.3 million visitors (2007).
The Kunsthistorisches Museum is under the name Kunsthistorisches Museum and Museum of Ethnology and the Austrian Theatre Museum with company number 182081t since 11 June 1999 as a research institution under public law of the Federal virtue of the Federal Museums Act, Federal Law Gazette I/115/1998 and the Museum of Procedure of the Kunsthistorisches Museum and Museum of Ethnology and the Austrian Theatre Museum, 3 January 2001, BGBl II 2/ 2001, in force since 1 January 2001, registered.
In fiscal 2008, the turnover was 37.185 million EUR and total assets amounted to EUR 22.204 million. In 2008 an average of 410 workers were employed.

GAU-12/U Equalizer 5-barrel gartling cannon
Lockheed AC-130U "Spooky II" gunship at Airfest 2011 MacDill AFB Tampa.
This was my first opportunity to see an AC-130 gunship up close. Previously, my only exposure were glimpses of the awesome firepower of the AC-130A "Surprise Package" in 1972-73 while "in-country" VietNam. This particular specimen was also equipped with a 40mm L/60 Bofors cannon (midships) and a 105mm M102 howitzer (aft). Oh yea!
Interesting fact: the 7.62mm "minigun" has a sustained ROF (rate of fire) of 2,000-6,000 rounds/minute).
Comments and feedback welcome.

It was goals-a-plenty in this West Lancashire League Premier Match with Lostock taking a 24th minute lead but going in at half time level after a late goal. Lostock regained the lead early in the second with Oxley getting his brace but 2 goals from Whitehaven took them in front. Matty Bulcock fired in an equalizer from distance to level once again. LSG finished the game with 9 players after late dismissals for Wilkinson and Riding.
This series was created from an original photo I took of an graphic equalizer, or audio equipment. If you look closely, you can see the different numbers used for the equalizer settings. A little tweaking here, a little mirror there, crop here, and some bulge here and there!
Also, as suggested by Hobsonish, it is best viewed large, to get the full detail. You might as well turn off the lights in your room!

BEQ1 - LiFePO4 Battery Equalizers
Beta testing the newly developed equalizers on 4ea LiFePO4 cells provided by www.LionEV.com sent to Hot Juice Electric by me from: www.TexomaEV.com
Date: Tue, April 25, 2008
The parts to modify the BEQ1's for LiFePO4 prototypes arrived yesterday evening and I completed a set for the test pack. I even managed a preliminary test that yielded very positive results! This weekend will be very busy with testing and hopefully, completion of a beta design solution to solve this issue, of balancing a LiFePO4 traction pack.
Date: Tue, April 28, 2008
Mike and all,
It was, indeed a very busy weekend! There was more work involved than
I expected, including having to add a few parts to slow the regulators
response. It turns out the change of current near the "full" part of a
charge cycle is so sharp it would set up an oscillation with adjacent
cell/regulator pairs. Most of the weekend was spent fine tuning the
response until it was perfectly stable. I managed to perform 5 discharge
/ charge cycles and all worked great.
Cell #3 in this test pack is definitely bad, which makes discharge
testing a bit cumbersome, but it is great for testing the regulators. For
example, it is interesting, how the regulator on the bad #3 cell turns
on immediately as soon as charging starts. Then, as the other cells
approach the "full" knee of their charge curve, the #3 cell regulator
shuts off since #3 is still not "full". Finally, all of the regulators
are "on" indicating all cells are charged. This means that even though
cell #3 is bad, its regulator protects it against further damage while
the other cells are charging at a much higher rate.
I still have at least one charge test before concluding the design is
ready. I expect to do that this (Monday) evening. The test is a high
(>20 Amp) charge rate.
More to come…
Date: Tue, April 29, 2008
Last evenings test was a high current charge to see how the regulators handled the current, specifically with the bad #3 cell. The test went great although the pack would not draw more than 8 amps at 14.8 volts. Another test was to parallel two regulators across the bad cell to see if they would share the current evenly when the charge current was pushed up to 10 amps (about 15.8 volts). With 15.8 volts at the power supply, all regulators were on and no cell was over 3.7 volts, including the bad one. (The remaining 1 volt was voltage drop across the leads).
I am very pleased with the results. I think we are ready to make plans for putting them into operational tests. I plan to design a footprint to house 4 regulators in one slim package with the same or similar dimensions as a "pop tart" cell. It would have the terminals on the top edge to match the orientation of the cell terminals. I would also like to add signaling terminals that could be connected to a relay, light, etc. to indicate full charge, and fault conditions. At this point, however, I think it might be best to proceed with the original BEQ1 format as operational test subjects. That would get regulation in place faster and would insure the design is operationally sound before proceeding to a finalized product.
NOTE: The 4cells I built up for HotJuiceElectric, were of some I had left over from another build. I looked back, and noticed that one of the cells was part of a pack, I had originally used for demonstration purposes, yet it wasn't abused that I know of, but I suspect it is the cell that is bad in this original test pack.....

One of the many long, garbage-strewn halls in the abandoned DeJarnette sanitarium in Staunton, Virginia. To get the dramatic lighting effects without losing details in the highs or lows, I created an HDR from five exposures using qtpfsgui. I tonemapped using Mantiuk with contrast equalization, which yields excellent tones, but smears details and muddies colors. The styrofoam ceiling tiles looked like they were made of shiny plastic! I then overlaid a Durand tonemap, which does a much better job with fine details and colors, and set the opacity at about 60%. The result is very faithful to the actual scene.

Alberta’s legislature will debate a potential referendum question asking Albertans if they think the principle of equalization payments should be removed from Canada’s Constitution.
Premier Jason Kenney introduced a motion on June 7, 2021 that, if passed, will put the following question on a provincewide referendum ballot on Oct. 18, in conjunction with municipal and Senate elections:
“Should Section 36(2) of the Constitution Act, 1982 –Parliament and the Government of Canada’s commitment to the principle of making equalization payments – be removed from the Constitution?”
“Albertans elected this government to get a fair deal for them. That’s exactly what this referendum is about. For too long, Albertans have been forced to subsidize public services in other parts of the country where politicians have been trying to block our pipelines and impair our vital economic interests, even during times of great economic hardship for us. This fall, Albertans will finally get a chance to tell the federal government that they’ve had enough of the unfair equalization program, and want reforms that recognize our province’s role in creating national prosperity.” said Premier Jason Kenney.
The principle of equalization is embedded into the Constitution and is the Government of Canada’s primary transfer program for addressing fiscal imbalances between provinces.
Albertans fund equalization through federal tax contributions, which are then transferred by the federal government to other provinces for their programs and services.
However, the current program does not take into account fundamental matters of fairness, including the ability of “have provinces” – like Alberta – to contribute transfers even when their provincial economies are down.
“Justin Trudeau’s equalization program is not fair for Albertans. Their generosity is being taken for granted by leaders who are happy to receive the money but reject the jobs that produce it. Albertans will finally have the opportunity to be heard.” said Kaycee Madu (pictured), Minister of Justice and Solicitor General.
Holding a referendum on equalization was a key recommendation of the Fair Deal Panel, which submitted a report to government last year recommending several ways Alberta could strengthen its position in Confederation.
“Alberta averages almost $20 billion annually in net contributions to Confederation. Almost 10,000 Canadians commute from across Canada to work in the oilsands alone. Alberta certainly doesn't appear to be getting treated fairly and I'm very happy that our government is listening to those that spoke at our Fair Deal consultations.” said Tany Yao, MLA for Fort McMurray-Wood Buffalo and member, Fair Deal Panel.
“Equalization rewards irresponsible, anti-economic development policies while punishing responsible economic development governance. Over the past 10 years, hard-working Albertans have sent over $400 billion to some provinces that run budgetary surpluses with money that isn’t theirs. Albertans’ self-determinant spirit built this province, so it’s time we asked them whether things need to change.” said Miranda Rosin, MLA for Banff-Kananaskis and member, Fair Deal Panel.

Albertans will finally have the opportunity to be heard.” said Kaycee Madu, Minister of Justice and Solicitor General.
Holding a referendum on equalization was a key recommendation of the Fair Deal Panel, which submitted a report to government last year recommending several ways Alberta could strengthen its position in Confederation.
“Alberta averages almost $20 billion annually in net contributions to Confederation. Almost 10,000 Canadians commute from across Canada to work in the oilsands alone. Alberta certainly doesn't appear to be getting treated fairly and I'm very happy that our government is listening to those that spoke at our Fair Deal consultations.” said Tany Yao, MLA for Fort McMurray-Wood Buffalo and member, Fair Deal Panel.
“Equalization rewards irresponsible, anti-economic development policies while punishing responsible economic development governance. Over the past 10 years, hard-working Albertans have sent over $400 billion to some provinces that run budgetary surpluses with money that isn’t theirs. Albertans’ self-determinant spirit built this province, so it’s time we asked them whether things need to change.” said Miranda Rosin, MLA for Banff-Kananaskis and member, Fair Deal Panel.

Alberta’s legislature will debate a potential referendum question asking Albertans if they think the principle of equalization payments should be removed from Canada’s Constitution.
Premier Jason Kenney introduced a motion on June 7, 2021 that, if passed, will put the following question on a provincewide referendum ballot on Oct. 18, in conjunction with municipal and Senate elections:
“Should Section 36(2) of the Constitution Act, 1982 –Parliament and the Government of Canada’s commitment to the principle of making equalization payments – be removed from the Constitution?”
“Albertans elected this government to get a fair deal for them. That’s exactly what this referendum is about. For too long, Albertans have been forced to subsidize public services in other parts of the country where politicians have been trying to block our pipelines and impair our vital economic interests, even during times of great economic hardship for us. This fall, Albertans will finally get a chance to tell the federal government that they’ve had enough of the unfair equalization program, and want reforms that recognize our province’s role in creating national prosperity.” said Premier Jason Kenney.
The principle of equalization is embedded into the Constitution and is the Government of Canada’s primary transfer program for addressing fiscal imbalances between provinces.
Albertans fund equalization through federal tax contributions, which are then transferred by the federal government to other provinces for their programs and services.
