Designers exploited bright colors and intricate patterns to
signal their creativity and defiance of the staid sartorial norms of the previous generation. Starburst and vortex patterns were particularly popular, perhaps because they mimic the effects of the light shows that accompanied rock concerts
and suggest a prismatic (and drug-fueled?) view into a new world.

Psychedelic Rock Posters and Fashion of the 1960s
Overview
Psychedelic Rock Posters and Fashion of the 1960s reveals the passion and creativity of the era through the iconic rock posters of San Francisco and beyond. The Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco was an incubator for ideas, expression, social thought, and, above all, music. Young people from across the nation gathered there to explore alternative ways of living and to challenge contemporary paradigms. At the heart of it all was the psychedelic experience, or an altered state of consciousness.
To capture the heady experience of life and music at this time, poster artists invented a graphic language to communicate the excitement of rock concerts, which featured liquid light shows and film projections. They drew on disparate historical precedents such as Art Nouveau, Wild West posters, and Victorian engraving and combined them with vibrating color, inventive lettering, and witty and provocative design. The exhibition brings together more than 200 rock posters, including work by the “big five” designers of the day—Rick Griffin, Alton Kelley, Victor Moscoso, Stanley Mouse, and Wes Wilson—as well as other superb talents, such as Bonnie MacLean and Bob “Raphael” Schnepf.
Fashion both reflected and influenced the psychedelic look of the posters. The exhibition showcases approximately 20 eclectic vintage styles ranging from embroidered denim and hippy fringe to crochet and velvet.
Psychedelic Rock Posters and Fashion of the 1960s draws from the collection of the Portland Art Museum, most of which comes from a major donation from Gary Westford, who serves as a consultant on the project. Key loans round out the visual story of the psychedelic era.
The exhibition is curated by Mary Weaver Chapin, Ph.D., Curator of Prints and Drawings. Supported in part by Exhibition Series Sponsors.

F-BLHX is taxiing to runway 25 for take-off. This Nord had visited Riem before on 19 September 1977. Here it is wearing the DGAC logo on the tailplane which it didn’t feature in 1977 (at least not on the starboard side).
This 1966 built Nord 262 was bought by SEFA (French national flight school, managed by French civil aviation authority Direction Générale de l'Aviation Civile (DGAC)) in January 1971. It was sold to Compagnie Aerienne du Languedoc (CAL) in December 1983 and flew on with Air Littoral from April 1988. Last operated by Air Affaires as TJ-AHU from December 1991, wfu 1996 at Douala, Cameroon. (Source: rzjets.net)

The Crown Point view point on the old Historic Columbia River Highway built between 1913 and 1922 to open up the East end of the gorge and much of Eastern Oregon to commercial exploitation. Buildings and other rock structures, tunnels, railings, walls, steps and rest stops were carved out or built up of the rocks of the gorge. A few spots, Crown Point for one, have a more refined construction. Crown Point has had a recent renovation and is worthy of a visit.

ORIGIN OF THE FISH HOUSE
As its name suggests, the Fish House owed its origin to the exploitation of the mere. Religious communities, officially forbidden to eat meat unless ill, consumed large quantities of fish, but mostly from the sea, usually salted and often transported over long distances.
Freshwater fish, almost always eaten fresh, was much more expensive and prestigious, hence the economic and social value of the Meare fishery to the abbey. The fishery was highly productive, being admired in 1540 for its ‘great abundance of pykes, tenches, roches, jeles and divers other kinds fysshes’.
Systematic exploitation was under way by the 12th century, and by 1235 the fishery was managed by a tenant answerable probably to the abbey’s cellarer (a monk-official responsible for provisions). In 1252 this arrangement was regularised with the appointment of a custos or warden of the fishery, lodged in a house in the churchyard.
While no custos is recorded after 1275, the need for a resident official no doubt remained, and the Fish House, dateable on architectural grounds to the 1330s, was probably built for him. The impetus may have been the abbey’s recent victory in a long wrangle over fishing rights with the Dean of Wells.
The high quality of the building reflects the culinary prestige of freshwater fish, the status of the official responsible and the abbey’s sense of its own dignity, buildings being important signals of wealth and prestige. In practice, as is suggested by some impracticalities in its internal arrangement, the house was probably for occasional use only. Its original function probably continued until the Suppression.

The USMF's elite pilots (those given the rank of Paladin) are a tough breed whose exploits are well known across the galaxy. Though qualified on a wide array of different craft (including ones not used by the USMF) most Paladins operate solo or in small groups; often great distances from allied bases or capital ships and thus have found great use in one-man fighter craft with FTL capability.
Miniaturizing FTL jump drives is a complex and costly process, but the benefits of a faster-than-light starfighter are numerous. For years, the USMF Paladins utilized the AX-20 "Katana" in this role. While a sturdy and fast ship, the Katana's production foundry was completely destroyed in the beginning stages of the Dimension Wars, and as such, it's service numbers dwindled further from the already small amount (in comparison to non-FTL fighters in the fleet).
Starcom Solution's answered the call for a "faster-than-light jack of all trades" by introducing the "Tekkan" (a name of Japanese origin inspired by its spiritual predecessor "Katana"). Starcom Solutions, living up to it's name, conquered the complex issue of small FTL jump drives with a unique solution; the drive systems were built at the capital ship shipyards on Saturn and then shipped to Neptune where quantum technology was used to shrink the units down to a smaller size.
Impressed by the originality of Starcom Solutions' engineering prowess, the USMF quickly requested a Tekkan for immediate trial runs. The first Tekkan produced (which was painted red with white markings as tribute to the Katana) passed its tests with flying colors (no pun intended) and was assigned to Paladin Kira Janus.
The Tekkan features twin heavy repeating lasers (much like those found on Hyperius Industries' "Scorpion"-class heavy fighter) and twin "Mjölnir"-type lightning cannons, which fire thunderous bolts of energy across great distances. These weapons pack quite the punch and require no ammunition, but require a great amount of charge time. If safety protocols are bypassed, the capacitor banks can overcharge and result in a devastating chain reaction.
(Pictured above is the AX-20 "Katana" which the "Tekkan" replaces. I paid tribute to the original craft by using a similar layout to it's wings and main thrusters, as a sort of easter egg.)

Architecture in Vienna
Vienna's 2,000-year history is present in a unique density in the cityscape. The layout of the center dates back to the Roman city and medieval road network. Romanesque and Gothic churches characterize the streets and squares as well as palaces and mansions of the baroque city of residence. The ring road is an expression of the modern city of the 19th century, in the 20th century extensive housing developments set accents in the outer districts. Currently, large-scale urban development measures are implemented; distinctive buildings of international star architects complement the silhouette of the city.
Due to its function as residence of the emperor and European power center, Vienna for centuries stood in the focus of international attention, but it was well aware of that too. As a result, developed an outstanding building culture, and still today on a worldwide scale only a few cities can come up with a comparable density of high-quality architecture. For several years now, Vienna has increased its efforts to connect with its historical highlights and is drawing attention to itself with some spectacular new buildings. The fastest growing city in the German-speaking world today most of all in residential construction is setting standards. Constants of the Viennese architecture are respect for existing structures, the palpability of historical layers and the dialogue between old and new.
Culmination of medieval architecture: the Stephansdom
The oldest architectural landmark of the city is St. Stephen's Cathedral. Under the rule of the Habsburgs, defining the face of the city from the late 13th century until 1918 in a decisive way, the cathedral was upgraded into the sacral monument of the political ambitions of the ruling house. The 1433 completed, 137 meters high southern tower, by the Viennese people affectionately named "Steffl", is a masterpiece of late Gothic architecture in Europe. For decades he was the tallest stone structure in Europe, until today he is the undisputed center of the city.
The baroque residence
Vienna's ascension into the ranks of the great European capitals began in Baroque. Among the most important architects are Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt. Outside the city walls arose a chain of summer palaces, including the garden Palais Schwarzenberg (1697-1704) as well as the Upper and Lower Belvedere of Prince Eugene of Savoy (1714-22). Among the most important city palaces are the Winter Palace of Prince Eugene (1695-1724, now a branch of the Belvedere) and the Palais Daun-Kinsky (auction house in Kinsky 1713-19). The emperor himself the Hofburg had complemented by buildings such as the Imperial Library (1722-26) and the Winter Riding School (1729-34). More important, however, for the Habsburgs was the foundation of churches and monasteries. Thus arose before the city walls Fischer von Erlach's Karlskirche (1714-39), which with its formal and thematic complex show façade belongs to the major works of European Baroque. In colored interior rooms like that of St. Peter's Church (1701-22), the contemporary efforts for the synthesis of architecture, painting and sculpture becomes visible.
Upgrading into metropolis: the ring road time (Ringstraßenzeit)
Since the Baroque, reflections on extension of the hopelessly overcrowed city were made, but only Emperor Franz Joseph ordered in 1857 the demolition of the fortifications and the connection of the inner city with the suburbs. 1865, the Ring Road was opened. It is as the most important boulevard of Europe an architectural and in terms of urban development achievement of the highest rank. The original building structure is almost completely preserved and thus conveys the authentic image of a metropolis of the 19th century. The public representational buildings speak, reflecting accurately the historicism, by their style: The Greek Antique forms of Theophil Hansen's Parliament (1871-83) stood for democracy, the Renaissance of the by Heinrich Ferstel built University (1873-84) for the flourishing of humanism, the Gothic of the Town Hall (1872-83) by Friedrich Schmidt for the medieval civic pride.
Dominating remained the buildings of the imperial family: Eduard van der Nüll's and August Sicardsburg's Opera House (1863-69), Gottfried Semper's and Carl Hasenauer's Burgtheater (1874-88), their Museum of Art History and Museum of Natural History (1871-91) and the Neue (New) Hofburg (1881-1918 ). At the same time the ring road was the preferred residential area of mostly Jewish haute bourgeoisie. With luxurious palaces the families Ephrussi, Epstein or Todesco made it clear that they had taken over the cultural leadership role in Viennese society. In the framework of the World Exhibition of 1873, the new Vienna presented itself an international audience. At the ring road many hotels were opened, among them the Hotel Imperial and today's Palais Hansen Kempinski.
Laboratory of modernity: Vienna around 1900
Otto Wagner's Postal Savings Bank (1903-06) was one of the last buildings in the Ring road area Otto Wagner's Postal Savings Bank (1903-06), which with it façade, liberated of ornament, and only decorated with "functional" aluminum buttons and the glass banking hall now is one of the icons of modern architecture. Like no other stood Otto Wagner for the dawn into the 20th century: His Metropolitan Railway buildings made the public transport of the city a topic of architecture, the church of the Psychiatric hospital at Steinhofgründe (1904-07) is considered the first modern church.
With his consistent focus on the function of a building ("Something impractical can not be beautiful"), Wagner marked a whole generation of architects and made Vienna the laboratory of modernity: in addition to Joseph Maria Olbrich, the builder of the Secession (1897-98) and Josef Hoffmann, the architect of the at the western outskirts located Purkersdorf Sanatorium (1904) and founder of the Vienna Workshop (Wiener Werkstätte, 1903) is mainly to mention Adolf Loos, with the Loos House at the square Michaelerplatz (1909-11) making architectural history. The extravagant marble cladding of the business zone stands in maximal contrast, derived from the building function, to the unadorned facade above, whereby its "nudity" became even more obvious - a provocation, as well as his culture-critical texts ("Ornament and Crime"), with which he had greatest impact on the architecture of the 20th century. Public contracts Loos remained denied. His major works therefore include villas, apartment facilities and premises as the still in original state preserved Tailor salon Knize at Graben (1910-13) and the restored Loos Bar (1908-09) near the Kärntner Straße (passageway Kärntner Durchgang).
Between the Wars: International Modern Age and social housing
After the collapse of the monarchy in 1918, Vienna became capital of the newly formed small country of Austria. In the heart of the city, the architects Theiss & Jaksch built 1931-32 the first skyscraper in Vienna as an exclusive residential address (Herrengasse - alley 6-8). To combat the housing shortage for the general population, the social democratic city government in a globally unique building program within a few years 60,000 apartments in hundreds of apartment buildings throughout the city area had built, including the famous Karl Marx-Hof by Karl Ehn (1925-30). An alternative to the multi-storey buildings with the 1932 opened International Werkbundsiedlung was presented, which was attended by 31 architects from Austria, Germany, France, Holland and the USA and showed models for affordable housing in greenfield areas. With buildings of Adolf Loos, André Lurçat, Richard Neutra, Gerrit Rietveld, the Werkbundsiedlung, which currently is being restored at great expense, is one of the most important documents of modern architecture in Austria.
Modernism was also expressed in significant Villa buildings: The House Beer (1929-31) by Josef Frank exemplifies the refined Wiener living culture of the interwar period, while the house Stonborough-Wittgenstein (1926-28, today Bulgarian Cultural Institute), built by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein together with the architect Paul Engelmann for his sister Margarete, by its aesthetic radicalism and mathematical rigor represents a special case within contemporary architecture.
Expulsion, war and reconstruction
After the "Anschluss (Annexation)" to the German Reich in 1938, numerous Jewish builders, architects (female and male ones), who had been largely responsible for the high level of Viennese architecture, have been expelled from Austria. During the Nazi era, Vienna remained largely unaffected by structural transformations, apart from the six flak towers built for air defense of Friedrich Tamms (1942-45), made of solid reinforced concrete which today are present as memorials in the cityscape.
The years after the end of World War II were characterized by the reconstruction of the by bombs heavily damaged city. The architecture of those times was marked by aesthetic pragmatism, but also by the attempt to connect with the period before 1938 and pick up on current international trends. Among the most important buildings of the 1950s are Roland Rainer's City Hall (1952-58), the by Oswald Haerdtl erected Wien Museum at Karlsplatz (1954-59) and the 21er Haus of Karl Schwanzer (1958-62).
The youngsters come
Since the 1960s, a young generation was looking for alternatives to the moderate modernism of the reconstruction years. With visionary designs, conceptual, experimental and above all temporary architectures, interventions and installations, Raimund Abraham, Günther Domenig, Eilfried Huth, Hans Hollein, Walter Pichler and the groups Coop Himmelb(l)au, Haus-Rucker-Co and Missing Link rapidly got international attention. Although for the time being it was more designed than built, was the influence on the postmodern and deconstructivist trends of the 1970s and 1980s also outside Austria great. Hollein's futuristic "Retti" candle shop at Charcoal Market/Kohlmarkt (1964-65) and Domenig's biomorphic building of the Central Savings Bank in Favoriten (10th district of Vienna - 1975-79) are among the earliest examples, later Hollein's Haas-Haus (1985-90), the loft conversion Falkestraße (1987/88) by Coop Himmelb(l)au or Domenig's T Center (2002-04) were added. Especially Domenig, Hollein, Coop Himmelb(l)au and the architects Ortner & Ortner (ancient members of Haus-Rucker-Co) by orders from abroad the new Austrian and Viennese architecture made a fixed international concept.
MuseumQuarter and Gasometer
Since the 1980s, the focus of building in Vienna lies on the compaction of the historic urban fabric that now as urban habitat of high quality no longer is put in question. Among the internationally best known projects is the by Ortner & Ortner planned MuseumsQuartier in the former imperial stables (competition 1987, 1998-2001), which with institutions such as the MUMOK - Museum of Modern Art Foundation Ludwig, the Leopold Museum, the Kunsthalle Wien, the Architecture Center Vienna and the Zoom Children's Museum on a wordwide scale is under the largest cultural complexes. After controversies in the planning phase, here an architectural compromise between old and new has been achieved at the end, whose success as an urban stage with four million visitors (2012) is overwhelming.
The dialogue between old and new, which has to stand on the agenda of building culture of a city that is so strongly influenced by history, also features the reconstruction of the Gasometer in Simmering by Coop Himmelb(l)au, Wilhelm Holzbauer, Jean Nouvel and Manfred Wehdorn (1999-2001). Here was not only created new housing, but also a historical industrial monument reinterpreted into a signal in the urban development area.
New Neighborhood
In recent years, the major railway stations and their surroundings moved into the focus of planning. Here not only necessary infrastructural measures were taken, but at the same time opened up spacious inner-city residential areas and business districts. Among the prestigious projects are included the construction of the new Vienna Central Station, started in 2010 with the surrounding office towers of the Quartier Belvedere and the residential and school buildings of the Midsummer quarter (Sonnwendviertel). Europe's largest wooden tower invites here for a spectacular view to the construction site and the entire city. On the site of the former North Station are currently being built 10,000 homes and 20,000 jobs, on that of the Aspangbahn station is being built at Europe's greatest Passive House settlement "Euro Gate", the area of the North Western Railway Station is expected to be developed from 2020 for living and working. The largest currently under construction residential project but can be found in the north-eastern outskirts, where in Seaside Town Aspern till 2028 living and working space for 40,000 people will be created.
In one of the "green lungs" of Vienna, the Prater, 2013, the WU campus was opened for the largest University of Economics of Europe. Around the central square spectacular buildings of an international architect team from Great Britain, Japan, Spain and Austria are gathered that seem to lead a sometimes very loud conversation about the status quo of contemporary architecture (Hitoshi Abe, BUSarchitektur, Peter Cook, Zaha Hadid, NO MAD Arquitectos, Carme Pinós).
Flying high
International is also the number of architects who have inscribed themselves in the last few years with high-rise buildings in the skyline of Vienna and make St. Stephen's a not always unproblematic competition. Visible from afar is Massimiliano Fuksas' 138 and 127 meters high elegant Twin Tower at Wienerberg (1999-2001). The monolithic, 75-meter-high tower of the Hotel Sofitel at the Danube Canal by Jean Nouvel (2007-10), on the other hand, reacts to the particular urban situation and stages in its top floor new perspectives to the historical center on the other side.
Also at the water stands Dominique Perrault's DC Tower (2010-13) in the Danube City - those high-rise city, in which since the start of construction in 1996, the expansion of the city north of the Danube is condensed symbolically. Even in this environment, the slim and at the same time striking vertically folded tower of Perrault is beyond all known dimensions; from its Sky Bar, from spring 2014 on you are able to enjoy the highest view of Vienna. With 250 meters, the tower is the tallest building of Austria and almost twice as high as the St. Stephen's Cathedral. Vienna, thus, has acquired a new architectural landmark which cannot be overlooked - whether it also has the potential to become a landmark of the new Vienna, only time will tell. The architectural history of Vienna, where European history is presence and new buildings enter into an exciting and not always conflict-free dialogue with a great and outstanding architectural heritage, in any case has yet to offer exciting chapters.

L’exploitation de la fosse Delloye, appartenant à la Compagnie des Mines d’Aniches, a commencé en 1931, à une époque où l’industrie minière du charbon était une part essentielle du paysage industriel de la France. La région du Nord-Pas-de-Calais était alors connue pour ses vastes gisements de charbon, et Lewarde, avec ses importantes réserves, a rapidement gagné en importance.
My blood boils when people quote Maslow's "Hierarchy of Needs" as the fundamental basis of prosperity and harmony. Hate it! Maslow was a sorry figure who never stepped out and bothered to interact with common people OR see them hard at work. His followers are no different. Exactly how they make hundreds of thousands of poor people perfectly able to laugh, sing a song, be merry, "invisible" is beyond me.
I met this family during my field visit to Thar, Sindh. They work as labour on farmland owned by Jarwars. The wage rates are abhorrent & in direct violation of all labour laws - Rs. 15 for every 40kilos of crop they cut, clean and sort. A family of 10-12 people is able to earn Rs. 200 i.e. for about 533kilos.
I am not trying to romanticise abject poverty nor condone the exploitation - my point is simple - they are not living their lives by hierarchy of needs, they make do with little things. In this case, they are all smiles simply because we stopped by to chat & photograph them if they permitted. One of the women asked me if they will get the print - I promised her to send it, took the address and phone number.
They posed and laughed.

India’s 2011 census shows a serious decline in the number of girls under the age of seven. Across India there were 945 girls per 1,000 boys in the 1991 census, 927 in 2001 and now 914 (in 2011); in some areas this can be as low as 861. Rising incomes only seem to accelerate the selective abortion of girl foetuses (female foeticide).
More disturbingly, the latest annual health survey data pointed out that in nine most populous north-Indian states, girls are disappearing not so much from foeticide as from infanticide which reflected in the substantial fall in the gender ratio in the 0-4 age group in several districts across nine states. While foeticide is driven mainly by the fear of high wedding and dowry costs, it is exacerbated by the preference for sons as family sizes shrink.
Now the skewed gender ratio has given rise to a system of bride-buying in the affected states: once trafficked or purchased they can be exploited, denied basic rights, put to work as maids and, in many cases, abandoned. Marriage to "imported brides" makes caste, language and culture immaterial as long as money is paid to the girl's family and a male child is born. Most of them come from poverty-ridden villages of east-Indian states of Assam, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar and Orissa, and are sold because their families need the money.
India urgently needs a proper and more focused series of initiatives if it is to transform the status of its women.

Dedicated to all these unfortunate Child labor in the May Day (International Workers' Day).
Bangladesh – a country where child labor is used more than anywhere else. child labor in Bangladesh is more than 12 percent of the total labor force. The exploitation of child labor in most cases due to the fact that even those parents who wish to send their children to school, often can not afford it. As a result, children are sent to work in fields, factories and even in the mines.They work 12 hours a day and receive for their work only 100 taka ($ 1.5) per day.
Stop Child labor
It's pretty well known that I had little love for Arriva Trains Wales. From their exploitative fares policy to their testy customer services, they just weren't a nice company to deal with.
They, of course, are gone now, St. Mary's House on the Penarth Road has a sticking plaster with a big 'T' logo over the Arriva signage, the staff have sticking plasters with a big 'T' over their Arriva logo jumpers, and the whole ramshackle operation lumbers on much as before.
Or does it?
Well, actually no, it doesn't.
And, I can't actually believe I'm saying this, but...
It's worse.
In the five weeks that have passed since the WAG finally got their dirty hands on the trains, it's absolutely gone down the pan.
Up here in never never land, timekeeping is just something that we fondly remember. Y'know, a bit like Izal toilet paper or Maxpax coffee. I've had the misfortune to travel on six TfW trains this week. The best performer was 17 down.
Cancellations are rife, again on the coast we now regularly have a ninety minute gap in eastbound trains at tea time. Two or three days a week, every week.
And, for the third Saturday in a row, there's cancellations and short running pretty much over the entire TfW network. Except for around Cardiff, of course.
The Cambrian is only two hourly, although they promise not to turf you out at Wolverhampton this week, half the Pembroke and Fishguard trains are caped, Wrexham to Bidston, the much vaunted North East Wales Metro, is only two hourly. Imagine that, a two hourly metro. Good eh?
And the North Wales to Manchester Airport trains will go no further than Oxford Road, the advice for pax heading to the airport is to use Northern or TPX forward.
Has no-one in Cardiff seen that, for the 915th Saturday in a row, the RMT Manchester and Northern division is having another unpaid holiday, and you'd be lucky to get on the TPX step boards as a result.
And you can forget going to Blaenau Ffestiniog by train. Again.
And there's still not a peep about when our promised 10% fares reduction will come. Probably after they've gone up by 20%...
(Historical note, fares in North Wales were hiked in the late 1980's to pay for those nasty things up above. Oddly, when the trains were paid for, the fares didn't go back down. Instead, they flogged the trains to a bank for three parts of fuck all...)
So, you'll be bored by now, so I'll finish here. But to Arriva Trains Wales, I humbly apologise. You are only the second worst Welsh TOC, not the first.
Sorry.
1D34 Manchester Oxford Road-Holyhead doesn't produce the loco-hauled goods, instead it's 158834 and 158838.
Sums it up, really.
Just one more thing, memo to Carwyn and Ken. Ain't it funny how you two have crawled back into the woodwork since it's all gone tits up?
World class my arse.
