The Hampden Historic District is significant under Criterion A for its association with the industrial development of the Jones Falls Valley, which was the center of Baltimore's important textile industry throughout the nineteenth century. In 1899 this relatively small geographical area produced more cotton duck than the combined output of any other milling centers in the United States. The district offers a largely intact picture of the development of a self-sufficient working class community, based upon a single major industry, which flourished for nearly a century. The district derives additional significance under Criterion C for its architecture, comprising a broad range of vernacular, working-class housing including an exceptional collection of early company-built workers' housing (for various job levels) dating from the late 1830s into the 1880s. Operating at their peak in the 1890s, the Hampden and Woodberry mills boasted some 4,000 employees. By that time company-built housing could no longer provide for the community's needs, and a host of local builders and investors saw an opportunity to develop the area above the mill villages with owner-occupied houses whose designs continued traditions established in the rural mill town, while filtering national stylistic influences through contemporary Baltimore rowhouse forms.
The first mill buildings and their related housing and settings clearly partook of the romantic, naturalistic ideals of the era. Mill owners acted out the idea of a paternalistic class by providing decent, affordable, and healthy housing for their workers and helped create a community made up of neat houses in their gardens, surrounded by rural lanes, open meadows, company-funded churches, and a company-provided school, all within walking distance of the mills. Company housing took forms created by local builders with some knowledge of various designs and design types published in both local and national pattern books of the 1840s and 1850s. Also, within walking distance were the estates of the mill owners-fashionable Greek Revival, Italianate, and Second Empire homes, surrounded by vast acres of lawns and showy gardens, thus adding to the picturesqueness of the whole and setting stylistic parameters. Despite the intrusions of modem times, much of this early mill village landscape still exists. Groups of houses perched on high hills overlooking the mills and now surrounded by trees still boast the original narrow lanes and roadways winding down the hill, that mill hands took as they left each morning for work, or used to reach the church on Sunday.
By the later 1870s, with the rapid expansion of the mills, a variety of local builders and investors took over the job of supplying reasonably priced, practical, yet still stylish homes for the always growing number of mill workers. Several different building associations were formed to aid workers in acquiring homes as well as provide financing for construction. And just as the first clusters of company housing were grouped around their respective owner's mills, so too did the housing built in the 1870s and 1880s tend to be located to meet the needs of particular mills. It was not really until the late 1890s that the blocks of Hampden located to the east of Falls Road began to fill up and that the commercial center of town, along W. 36th Street, began to take on an urban aspect. From this point on the development of Hampden followed urban models and was influenced by the stylistic forms of Baltimore city architecture. The textile mills remained the main economic force in the area, and the early 20th century development of Hampden reflects the prosperity of that industry through the World War I era to the Depression, and its recovery in the early 1940s supported by the wartime demand for cotton fabric.
The period of significance, 1837-1945, spans the period during which the Jones Falls Valley textile industry was the principal influence on the district's growth and development. After World War II, textile manufacturers began moving their operations to the Southern states, and the community ceased growing.

The market for agricultural products in Vienna, in short, Commodity Exchange, is a in 1869 founded produce exchange, without time bargain. It is located since 1890 in a 1887-1890 specifically created building in Tabor street in Vienna's Leopoldstadt.
During National Socialism in Austria (1938-1945) as well as because of market organisation act, from 1949 to 1994 the stock market possessed no power. With Austria's EU accession in 1995 the stock market was reactivated and resumed the function of the finding of the target price (Richtpreisfindung) for the Austrian market by the major market participants. Stock exchange listings are taking place on a weekly basis.
In addition, the Vienna Commodity Exchange has a tribunal that is responsible for all members and trading partners in the event of disputes.
History
Since 1812, the grain trade is a free business in Austria, therefore, therefore, corn a commodity. With the development of trade in 1853 arose the Viennese fruit and flour stock exchange. This was for the moment subordinated under the Vienna Magistrate and was only on 24 June 1869 independent. This was the birth year of the Vienna Commodity Exchange. Whose trade for the moment took place in the café Commodity Exchanges in Vienna's Leopoldstadt (2nd district). With the increase of trading volume and the trading participants, the construction of a separate stock exchange building was decided. The contract for this got in 1887 the architect Karl König, who built the Stock Exchange building in Tabor street, near the café in the Neo-Renaissance style. The completion and the start of trading took place on 23 August, 1890. In Latin letters the motto of the stock market was walled in: in usum negotiatorum cuiuscumque Nationis ac linguae ("the merchants of all nations and all languages dedicated").
Until the First World War, the Stock Exchange was the most important market for agricultural products of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. After its demise, and the years of inflation, stock exchange trading experienced a large decline, of which the stock market not recovered until the mid-20s.
In 1938, after the annexation of Austria to Germany, the stock market was closed. During the Second World War, the stock market was hit in air raids on Vienna, the trading hall burned down . After the war was began with the rebuilding. On 10 November 1948 followed the reconstitution of the Stock Exchange Chamber and on Wednesday, the 29th July 1949, the first stock exchange meeting was held in Taborstraße in the repaired stock exchange building. The stock market was now, however, because of market regulation law determining the fixing of prices by the social partnership largely meaningless. It merely served as a weekly meeting place of key market participants. From the 1980s on, the great hall was used by the Odeon Theatre.
With the accession of Austria to the EU market in 1995, the Market Organsation Act had to be abrogated. The Commodity Exchange sat together again and took up again its function as place of target price finding of the key market participants.
The Vienna Commodity Exchange was decisively involved in the making of a unified Italian-Austrian-German model agreement for the grain trade.
Stock exchange dealing
Merchandises
Actual trading does not take place at the Produce Exchange. However, there are business transactions from a certain minium dimension for the purpose of target price finding of the traded commodities - depending on traded good, differently high, as a rule, not less than 100 tons - recorded. The exchange traffic includes substantially all in the region grown agricultural raw materials and semi-finished products which are used for human and animal consumption. Excluded from the exchange traffic are forestry products, spices, herbs as well as raw materials serving for the production of fabrics and spun yarns, such as jute. Also excluded are almost all "colonial goods", ie sugar, coffee, tea, chocolate, cocoa, and the like.
Trade practices
As binding basis of the in business occurring terms, business conditions, deadlines, settlement procedures and trade practices are serving the practices of the stock exchange for agricultural products Vienna. They should prevent misunderstandings and misinterpretations and thus facilitate domestic and international trade.
In addition, special provisions specify what requirements quality or brand denominations must fulfill - such as, "quality" or "Premium Wheat".
Quotation
The quotations occure on the basis of actual having taken place trade, hence, without contracts such as options and futures, which are not traded in Vienna, once a week on Wednesday at 13.30 clock. For assessment used are only large trades from a certain minimum quantity at wholesale price. Fixed are the prices ultimately by the Price Determination Commission, which is under the supervision of the Exchange Commissioner. The publication of the prices takes place in the official list.
Organs
Exchange Chamber
The management of the stock exchange for agricultural products behooves the chamber of the market for agricultural products in Vienna. This is composed of 30 stock exchange councilors called members, who are elected or appointed for a term of four years. They are appointed in equal numbers by the Ministry of Agriculture from by the Austrian Chambers of Agriculture proposed persons. More, in all, three members are appointed by the Chambers of Agriculture of Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland. The remaining 17 members are elected by the stock exchange members six of which must be coming from the milling industry or the milling craft, one from the flour processing industry or sector, six from the grain trade. The other four may belong to other professional groups participating in the exchange market. A further condition on the 30 trading councils is, that at least half of them reside in Vienna.
Out of the stock exchange councils, as well for four years are elected a governing body, the executive of the stock exchange plus the chairman of the stock exchange with his three vice-presidents and the treasurer.
As supervising organ acts the commissioner of the stock exchange with his two deputies, which are provided by the Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Economy.
Also appointed by the stock exchange chamber are the four-member panel of arbitrators and the three-member college of experts.

Arbitration
Members of the Exchange are legally bound by the trade practices.

This is not bound by procedural requirements of the ordinary courts, and therefore against judgments of the tribunal also can not be appealed. The procedures usually last less than a month and the sayings of the tribunal on the Vienna Stock Exchange are, in contrast to many other European stock exchanges, immediately enforceable executory titles.

Ways to Avoid Housework:
I feel like my general rule for procrastination applies in this case, so rather than list more ways to procrastinate (which is procrastination in itself, no?), I thought of sharing some of my tips to avoid having housework pile-up
♥ Make a list! I keep a little list to remind me what chores need done on what day, so I don't miss something like garbage night and also so I'm not letting things build up to tackle in one day
♥ Space chores out - Doing a quick round of dusting or running the vacuum is a lot less daunting than "cleaning the entire room", which could take hours. So I do maybe one or two things each day
♥ On that note, those Swiffer Dusters are my best friend. Quick and easy and that's what I'm all about
♥ No more than one box of keepsakes - I'm all for saving things out of memory, but if I pass more than one box, it's too much. A big dent in my cleaning plans lies in organization; I keep amassing things and they pile up, so I make sure to go through things like this, including closets, papers, files, etc. every few months or so, so I don't have unnecessary junk
But if you really don't want to do housework...
♥ Pinterest -- Pinterest is a great way to avoid doing anything. And I say that with the utmost love
