Judge Orders YouTube to Give All User Histories to Viacom

By Ryan Singel EmailJuly 02, 2008 | 7:16:54 PMCategories: Copyrights and Patents

 

Youtubelogo2 Google will have to turn over every record of every video watched by YouTube users, including users' names and IP addresses, to Viacom, which is suing Google for allowing clips of its copyright videos to appear on YouTube, a judge ruled Wednesday.

 

Viacom wants the data to prove that infringing material is more popular than user-created videos, which could be used to increase Google's liability if it is found guilty of contributory infringement.

 

Viacom filed suit against Google in March 2007, seeking more than $1 billion in damages for allowing users to upload clips of Viacom's copyright material. Google argues that the law provides a safe harbor for online services so long as they comply with copyright takedown requests.

 

Although Google argued that turning over the data would invade its users' privacy, the judge's ruling (.pdf) described that argument as "speculative" and ordered Google to turn over the logs on a set of four tera-byte hard drives.

 

The judge also turned Google's own defense of its data retention policies -- that IP addresses of computers aren't personally revealing in and of themselves, against it to justify the log dump.

 

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has already reacted, calling the order a violation of the Video Privacy Protection act that "threatens to expose deeply private information."

 

The order also requires Google to turn over copies of all videos that it has taken down for any reason.

 

Viacom also requested YouTube's source code, the code for identifying repeat copyright infringement uploads, copies of all videos marked private, and Google's advertising database schema.

 

Those requests were denied in whole, except that Google will have to turn over data about how often each private video has been watched and by how many persons.

The remarkable 15th century 'Nine Orders of Angels' window in the south aisle of All Saints North Street. Each of the nine panels portrays an angel from the nine separate orders, a popular subject in medieval England. Each is leading a procession of the worthy, consisting largely of rather well to do looking individuals. The window was reconstructed from fragments in the 1960s based on a detailed 17th century sketch of the complete composition before it suffered damage in the following centuries and was reduced to a patchwork of fragments. The recovery of this window using its surviving elements and plain coloured glass for the missing pieces is itself a remarkable achievement.

 

All Saints North Street in York is the city's most famous parish church, renowned for the wealth of its medieval glass, mostly of 15th century date.

 

The church itself is distinguished by its slender octagonal tower and spire and an interior of three aisles equal in height and width, with the chancel defined only by furnishings and a more ornate roof, carved with medieval angel figures.

 

The fine medieval stained glass fills most of the windows, some in more fragmentary condition whilst many are complete, including the best known in the north aisle, the Acts of Mercy and the 'Prykke of Conscience' windows.

 

The church is normally kept open and welcoming to visitors.

Saturday, and hey, hey it's the weekend.

 

I felt as though the weather had kept me trapped in the house pretty much all week, so I wanted to go out.

 

Jools came back from work evening, saying that her old boss had visited Rochester Cathedral and said there is a fantastic art display of thousands of paper doves, and a huge table made from reclaimed 5,000 tree trunk found in a fen in Norfolk.

 

Yes, we would like some of that action, and as it has been three years since we were last there, seemed like a good idea.

 

In fact, at the beginning of March 2020, it was the first trip we took in the new Audi, and of course, two weeks later there was lockdown and deaths.

 

So, a trip back, at Easter, for a rebirth and to see some art and a huge table.

 

But first, shopping.

 

And being the start of the month, we get much more than usual, including wine to make sloe port and stuff for washing and cleaning.

 

Back home to put it all away and have breakfast and second coffee before heading out. Though because of Brexit-related delays in the port, we did have to leave through Guston and Pineham to get to the A2 as traffic through Whitfield was at a standstill.

 

Up the A2 to Faversham, then along the Motorway until we turned off just after the Medway bridge. It was later than we had hoped, but thought nothing of it, really.

 

But there was a food festival on near the caste, and all parking was full, we drove along the river thinking we would just give up, then following the sat nav back into town we find a tiny car park with spaces, and just a few minutes walk from the cathedral and castle.

 

Perfect.

 

As we drove past the parish church in Strood, I saw thatt he door was open: oh good.

 

On the way to the cathedral, we called into a café for breakfast. Second breakfast. Elevenses. I had a bacon butty and Jools had a panini, which hit the spot, meaning we were ready to go and mingle with people.

 

By the time we emerged, and walked along the High Street to the church, it was closed. So I took some shots of the outside, and then we headed for the bridge over the Medway, and before the Cathedral, there was the Bridge Chapel.

 

I had discovered from a fr

 

iend that the Bridge over the Medway at Rochester was owned, repaired and funded by a charity/trust, and had been this was pretty much from the 14th century.

 

Only the other shell of the Chantry Chapel of the Bridge now remains, but a new roof has been put on, and the chapel now used for meetings, and has a large wooden table filling most of the Chancel. I record the details, say thanks to the two friendly guides, and we finally walk to the Cathedral.

 

The food festival needed tickets to go in, it smelled good, and a band was playing poor Britpop numbers to entertain the thin crowds.

 

We entered the cathedral, and hit by the sight of over 10,000 paper doves, all lit with pink light, having over the Nave.

 

It was impressive.

 

As was the table, pushed to one side but half the length of the Nave, and made of two and three thick planks.

 

I went round taking shots of the stained glass with the big lens, whilst Jools sat and looked after the camera bag.

 

Despite it being a cool day, with my fleece on I was hot, so needed a drink, and along the old High Street was The George, and they showed us to the "garden", which was a huge tent filled with people, one party were loudly celebrating someone's 40th birthday.

 

But our drinks were brought quickly, and being in the corner we could people watch, of course.

 

It was two, and time to go home. The traffic jams of earlier had melted away, so we walked to the car, turned out onto the main road out of town, to the motorway and home.

 

On the radio Citeh put 4 (four) past Liverpool, then all was about preparations for the main group of games.

 

We arrived back home at three, time for a brew and two hot cross buns each, and for me, listen to the footy on the radio, and hopeful that City's late push to the play-offs would start today.

  

It didn't.

 

A 1-0 loss to Sheffield Utd, just one shot on goal, and the season is deader than flares.

 

I watched the evening game, Chelsea losing to Villa, whilst Craig returned on the radio and spun some funk and soul.

 

Perfect.

A conveyance of land in the parish of St Clements, Rochester dated 1 April 1393. It is thought that it is on this land that the chapel was built by Sir John de Cobham, in the same year.

 

The archives contain a chapel memoranda book dating from the 15th century. On this page reference is made to John de Cobham and Robert Knolles as being the founders of the bridge and the chapel.

 

entry from paymasters account book of 1546 showing amounts paid for the half year wages of the chapel priests, and also reference to purchase of wine, candles and bread. Soon after this the Chantry chapels in England were to close as the Reformation continued to curtail their activities.

 

In November 1912, Harald Brakspear, architect, ARIBA surveyed and wrote a report on the ruined chapel, this plan appears in this report and clearly shows the location of the aumbry, piscinas and where the rood screen would have been located. The structure shown as a ‘vice’ is an architectural term for a medieval spiral staircase. This staircase would have been encased by the clocktower which can be seen on 18th century illustrations of the Bridge House/Chamber. The outline of the doorway that led on to the vice is still apparent in the chapel. The chapel had three altars – Brakspear denotes these with a cross. These were dedicated to the Holy Trinity, Blessed Virgin Mary and All Saints.

At the east end, and fronting the passage over the bridge, was a CHAPEL or PERPETUAL CHANTRY, erected by Sir John de Cobham, one of the founders of the new bridge.

 

This chapel seems to have been finished soon after the bridge, and was called Allesolven chapel. By the foundation charter, three chaplains, to be appointed by the wardens of the bridge, were to officiate in it, particularly for the use of travellers, and to pray for the souls of the benefactors of the bridge, as well those living, as deceased, and especially for the souls of the lord John of Cobham, the founder and patron, and of Sir Robert Knolles, William Wangford, and Eleanor his wife, John Fremingham, and Alice his wife, William Makenade, Sir William Rykhull, then living, and for the souls of those deceased, viz. Sir William atte Pole, and Joane his wife, Nicholas Potyn, Constance, wife of Sir Robert Knolles, the lady Margaret, wife of Sir John de Cobham, before-mentioned, John Bukyng ham, formerly bishop of Lincoln, Sir William Waleworth, and all faithful people deceased.

 

They were to reside constantly in apartments contiguous to the chapel, and each of them was to receive an annual allowance of six pounds, at the hands of the wardens of the bridge, out of the revenues of it, who were to be at all expences of repairs, ornaments, utensils, and other matters whatsoever. (fn. 56)

 

But in the reign of king Henry VI. the revenues of the bridge were so diminished, that application was made to the king for his assistance, towards the maintenance of these chaplains, who, in his 20th year, granted to the wardens and their successors, the sum of one hundred shillings, which the convent and monastery of St. Augustine, near Canterbury, and their successors, used to pay yearly at the exchequer, from the ferm of the hundreds of Ryngleslowe, Dunhamford, and Blengate, in this county, to hold to them and their successors for ever.

 

What became of this chantry in the reigns of king Henry VIII. and king Edward VI. I have not learned, but in the year 1575, anno 18 queen Elizabeth, there was an arrear of five hundred pounds or more, depending in the court of exchequer, and probably due to the crown from the wardens and commonalty of the bridge, for the salary of the priests of this suppressed chantry. This suit Sir Roger Manwood brought to an issue, and the cause being tried at the assizes, and judgment given in the exchequer, it was for ever discharged.

 

On the ground where this chapel stood a very neat stone building was erected by the wardens of the bridge, in 1735. The upper part of this building is stiled the Bridge-chamber, in which, and an adjoining room over the Crown gateway, the wardens and assistants hold their weekly and annual meetings. On the front of this new building are the arms, carved in stone, of the principal benefactors to the bridge.

 

AN ACCOUNT of the river Medway has already been given in the General History of this county, it only remains therefore for some account to be given of THE OYSTER FISHERY on this river, carried on in the several creeks and branches of it within the liberties of this city, for the conducting of which there is a Company of Free-dredgermen established by prescription time out of mind, subject to the government and authority of the mayor and citizens.

 

¶But several persons contesting this authority, great inconveniences arose from it, and the fishery was much endangered by it; to prevent which, the corporation and free-dredgermen petitioned parliament for relief in the 2d year of king George II. when an act passed for the better ordering and governing this fishery; for making them secure under the protection of the mayor and citizens, and for confirming and settling their power and jurisdiction over that and the free dredgers belonging to it. By it the mayor and citizens have power once or oftener in every year to hold a court of admiralty, to which the dredgers are summoned, and a jury is appointed from among them, which has power to make rules and orders for the times, when the oystergrounds shall be opened (fn. 57) and shut, and the quantity of oysters which shall be taken on each day of dredging, and also for the preservation of the brood and spat of oysters, and for otherwise regulating the fishery, with power for the jury to impose fines for the breach of all such orders as shall have been approved and confirmed by the mayor and citizens, to whose use all fines are to be applied. Every person is free of this company, after having served an apprenticeship of seven years. Any person catching oysters in this river, not free of the fishery, is termed a cablebanger, and liable to such penalty as the mayor and citizens shall impose on him.

 

The company frequently buy brood, or spat, from other parts, which they lay down in the river, where it soon grows to maturity. Great quantities of these oysters are sent to London and Holland, and even to Westphalia, and the adjacent countries.

In the Nine Years War Speyer was occupied on 28 September in 1688 by French troops. When the French General Montclar finally announced that he had orders to destroy the entire city except the cathedral, brought the Speyerer citizens its furniture and household effects, as far as they could not carry it away with the carts provided by the French in the cathedral and piled it there several meters high. On 31 May 1689, the city was finally set on fire. After the fire had spread to the vicinity of the cathedral, it was succeded to prevent the flames from spreading by hammering of adjacent roofs and putting up water tanks. By a thunderstorm on the night of 2 June but the fire was so strongly fanned that even the multiple extinguishing of the burning west end could not prevent that the fire eventually spread to the poorly accessible east dome. In this chaos invaded French soldiers in the cathedral and plundered the upper imperial and royal tombs. Only the tombs of the Salian were spared except the grave of Henry V, as they were very deep in the ground and the soldiers apparently fled from the cathedral where they left their digging equipments. Those were found at the opening of imperial tombs in 1900. Also spared was the Madonna as it was stored in a shrine. It was after its rescue brought in the Frankfurter Catherine's church and during the recolonisation of Speyer returned in the cathedral. Because of the tremendous heat the vault in the western part became fragile and collapsed. The eastern part, however, resisted the flames. It was after the repopulation of Speyer closed by a wall and further used for worship. 1755 the upper portion of the residual west end with the two towers because of the danger of collapse had to be removed.

In the second half of the 18th century was enough money availabe to build the western part of the cathedral again. Under Franz Ignaz Michael Neumann, the son of the famous baroque architect Balthasar Neumann, 1772-1778 the yawning gap in the western part of the nave has been closed in its original form. The almost completely torn down west end was under inclusion of the Romanesque porch replaced by a contemporary Baroque facade. However, it had only 100-year existence. Still today the rupture especially in using other bricks can be seen, the overall picture, however, is uniform. This early act of reconstructive preservation of historical monuments in spite of everything can be explained by the rather scarce funds of the city: A baroque new construction of the main building as a consequence also would have had the new construction of the choir to obtain an aesthetically pleasing spatial impression.

In 1794, revolutionary troops devastated the cathedral, and the house of God was deconsecrated. In the process, the entire interior was lost, and the portrait of Mary there was destroyed. Under Napoleon Bonaparte, the French troops used the cathedral as a cowshed and as food and material store. After in the Peace of Luneville of 9 February 1801 the left-bank areas binding under international law were ceded to France, the ownership of the cathedral passed to the French government. In Concordat of July 15, 1801 respectively in the Bull of Circumscription "Qui Christi Domini vices" of the November 29, 1801 recognized Pope Pius VII the dissolution of the diocese of Speyer and the assignment of the local Catholic church to the diocese of Mainz. Since the cathedral was dilapidated, due to the building assessment of architect Peter Henrion it should be demolished in 1805, the remainder of the west-wing (west-bau) being turned into a triumphal arch. However, the city council of Speyer refused to take over the for the demolition necessary costs. After the bishop of Mainz, Joseph Ludwig Colmar, had used his good relations with the wife of Napoleon, Empress Joséphine de Beauharnais and the French Culture Minister, Jean Etienne Portalis to convince them of the outstanding cultural importance of the cathedral, Napoleon agreed to withdraw the already issued demolition disposal. By imperial decree of 23 September 1806, he ordered the return of the cathedral to the Catholics of Speyer, which in it were also made responsible for the future maintenance costs. As at this time the as a church foundation established Speyer Cathedral Parish was the only in the town existing Catholic legal person, this one took over in a public ceremony on 3 November 1806 from the hands of mayor Ludwig Sonntag, as the representative of the Frenche State, the ownership of the cathedral.

After Napoleon's defeat, the diocese on the left-Rhenish area was newly established in 1817, and the cathedral not only served as a parish, but in addition again as a bishop's church; 1818-1822 it was restored and 1822 newly consecrated. 1846-1853 created the painters Johann Schraudolph and Joseph Schwarzmann commissioned by Ludwig I of Bavaria frescoes in Nazarene style.

On behalf of the former Bavarian King Ludwig I, the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I and the Duke Adolph of Nassau, in 1854-1858 was undertaken the new construction of the west-bau in neo-Romanesque style. Heinrich Hübsch, one of the most renowned architects of early Historicism, oriented himself freely to the original west-bau taking up central tower and two smaller flanking towers, however, he deviated from the draft both in the choice of materials as in the proportions considerably. The renovation of the west facade and the decoration of the cathedral were considered in the 19th century as "great work". Ludwig I was convinced that for a long time nothing greater had been created as the frescoes in the cathedral of Speyer.

At the turn of the 20th century, there was a change of mood: Georg Dehio complained in 1916 even cautiously among the disasters that have hit the dome the changes of the 19th century were not the smallest.

 

Im Pfälzischen Erbfolgekrieg wurde Speyer am 28. September 1688 von Französischen Truppen besetzt. Als der französische General Montclar schließlich verkündete, er habe den Befehl, die gesamte Stadt außer den Dom zu zerstören, brachten die Speyerer Bürger ihre Möbel und ihren Hausrat, soweit sie ihn nicht mit den durch die Franzosen bereitgestellten Karren wegschaffen konnten, in den Dom und stapelten ihn mehrere Meter hoch. Am 31. Mai 1689 wurde die Stadt schließlich in Brand gesetzt. Nachdem sich das Feuer bis in die Umgebung des Domes ausgebreitet hatte, gelang es, das Übergreifen der Flammen durch das Einschlagen von benachbarten Dächern und das Aufstellen von Wasserbehältern zu verhindern. Durch einen Gewittersturm in der Nacht zum 2. Juni wurde das Feuer aber so stark angefacht, dass selbst das mehrfache Löschen des brennenden Westbaus nicht verhinderte, dass sich das Feuer schließlich bis in die schlecht zugängliche Ostkuppel ausbreitete. In diesem Chaos drangen französische Soldaten in den Dom ein und plünderten die oberen Kaiser- und Königsgräber. Nur die Gräber der Salier blieben bis auf das Grab Heinrichs V. verschont, da sie sehr tief im Boden lagen und die Soldaten den Dom offenbar fluchtartig verließen, wobei sie ihre Grabgeräte zurückließen. Diese fand man bei der Öffnung der Kaisergräber im Jahr 1900. Ebenfalls verschont blieb das Marienbildnis, da es in einem Schrein gelagert wurde. Es wurde nach seiner Bergung in die Frankfurter Katherinenkirche gebracht und bei der Wiederbesiedlung Speyers in den Dom zurückgebracht. Durch die gewaltige Hitze wurde das Gewölbe im Westteil brüchig und stürzte ein. Der Ostteil hingegen hielt den Flammen stand. Er wurde nach der Wiederbesiedlung Speyers durch eine Mauer abgeschlossen und wurde für Gottesdienste weiter benutzt. 1755 mussten der obere Bereich des stehen gebliebenen Westbaus mit den beiden Türmen wegen Einsturzgefahr abgetragen werden.

In der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts war genügend Geld vorhanden, den Westteil des Doms wieder aufzubauen. Unter Franz Ignaz Michael Neumann, dem Sohn des berühmten Barockbaumeisters Balthasar Neumann, wurde 1772–1778 die klaffende Lücke im westlichen Teil des Langhauses in der ursprünglichen Form geschlossen. Das fast völlig abgetragene Westwerk wurde unter Einbeziehung der romanischen Vorhalle durch eine zeitgemäße barocke Fassade ersetzt. Sie hatte jedoch nur gut 100 Jahre Bestand. Heute noch ist der Bruch vor allem an der Verwendung anderer Mauersteine zu erkennen, das Gesamtbild jedoch einheitlich. Dieser frühe Akt einer rekonstruktiven Denkmalpflege lässt sich mit den trotz allem eher begrenzten Geldmitteln der Stadt erklären: Ein barocker Neubau des Langhauses hätte auch den Neubau des Chors zur Folge haben müssen, um einen ästhetisch ansprechenden Raumeindruck zu erhalten.

Im Jahr 1794 verwüsteten Revolutionstruppen den Dom, und das Gotteshaus wurde profaniert. Dabei ging die ganze Innenausstattung verloren, auch das Marienbildnis wurde dabei zerstört. Unter Napoleon Bonaparte nutzten die französischen Truppen den Dom als Viehstall sowie als Futter- und Materiallager. Nachdem im Frieden von Lunéville vom 9. Februar 1801 die linksrheinischen Gebiete völkerrechtlich verbindlich an Frankreich abgetreten worden waren, ging das Eigentum am Dom an die französische Regierung über. Im Konkordat vom 15. Juli 1801 bzw. in der Zirkumskriptionsbulle „Qui Christi Domini vices“ vom 29. November 1801 anerkannte Papst Pius VII die Aufhebung des Bistums Speyer und die Zuordnung der dortigen katholischen Gemeinde zum Bistum Mainz. Da der Dom baufällig war, sollte er infolge eines Baugutachtens des Architekten Peter Henrion im Jahr 1805 abgerissen werden, wobei der Rest des Westbaus zum Triumphbogen umgebaut werden sollte. Der Stadtrat von Speyer weigerte sich jedoch, die für den Abriss notwendigen Kosten zu übernehmen. Nachdem der Mainzer Bischof Joseph Ludwig Colmar seine guten Beziehungen zur Frau Napoleons, Kaiserin Joséphine de Beauharnais sowie zum französischen Kultusminister Jean Etienne Portalis dazu genutzt hatte, diese von der überragenden kulturellen Bedeutung des Doms zu überzeugen, erklärte sich Napoleon einverstanden, die bereits erlassene Abrissverfügung zurückzunehmen. Mit kaiserlichem Dekret vom 23. September 1806 verfügte er die Rückgabe des Doms an die Katholiken von Speyer, die darin auch für die künftigen Unterhaltskosten verantwortlich gemacht wurden. Da zu diesem Zeitpunkt die als Kirchenstiftung errichtete Speyerer Domgemeinde die einzige in der Stadt existierende katholische juristische Person war, übernahm diese im Rahmen einer öffentlichen Zeremonie am 3. November 1806 das Eigentum an der Kathedrale aus der Hand des Bürgermeisters Ludwig Sonntag als dem Vertreter des französischen Staats.

Nach der Niederlage Napoleons wurde das Bistum 1817 auf linksrheinischem Gebiet neu errichtet, und der Dom diente nicht mehr nur als Pfarr-, sondern daneben auch wieder als Bischofskirche; 1818–1822 wurde er saniert und 1822 neu geweiht. 1846–1853 schufen die Maler Johann von Schraudolph und Joseph Schwarzmann im Auftrag Ludwig I. von Bayern Fresken im Nazarener Stil.

Im Auftrag des ehemaligen bayerischen Königs Ludwig I., des österreichischen Kaisers Franz Joseph I. und des Herzogs Adolph von Nassau kam es zu einer Neuerrichtung des Westbaus 1854–1858 im neoromanischen Stil. Heinrich Hübsch, einer der renommiertesten Architekten des frühen Historismus, orientierte sich frei am ursprünglichen Westbau, indem er Mittelturm und zwei kleinere Flankentürme aufgriff, wich jedoch von der Vorlage sowohl bei der Materialwahl wie bei den Proportionen erheblich ab. Die Erneuerung der Westfassade und die Ausmalung des Doms wurden im 19. Jahrhundert als „großes Werk“ angesehen. Ludwig I. war der Überzeugung, dass seit langer Zeit nichts Größeres geschaffen worden sei als die Fresken im Speyerer Dom.

Um die Wende zum 20. Jahrhundert kam es zu einem Stimmungsumschwung: Georg Dehio beklagte 1916 sogar vorsichtig, unter den Unglücken, die den Dom getroffen hätten, seien die Veränderungen des 19. Jahrhunderts nicht die kleinsten gewesen.

Vietnam factory workers laid off as West cuts imports

 

Phan Thi Nhieu has spent a decade assembling shoes for worldwide brands such as Timberland and K-Swiss, but she is now among tens of thousands of Vietnamese factory workers laid off as Western consumers cut spending.

 

Almost half a million others have been forced to work fewer hours as orders fall in the Southeast Asian country, one of the world's largest exporters of clothing, footwear and furniture.

 

The cost-of-living crisis in Europe and the United States -- major markets for Vietnamese-produced goods -- has seen the buying power of Western shoppers plunge.

 

Women factory workers, who make up 80 percent of the labour force in Vietnam's garment industry, have been hit the hardest by the knock-on effect.

 

Early last month, 31-year-old Nhieu -- who lives in a nine-square-metre (100 square feet) room in Ho Chi Minh City with her two young sons and husband -- was told she was no longer needed at Ty Hung Company, a Taiwanese shoemaker that supplies big Western labels.

 

"They told us they did not have enough orders," she said of Ty Hung's announcement that it would fire 1,200 of its 1,800 staff.

 

"I was so, so shocked and so scared, I cried, but I can do nothing, I have to accept it."

 

The job earned Nhieu just $220 a month in an expensive city where the average monthly income is $370, but the money was regular and a step up from the mushroom picking she did as a teenager in the heat of the Mekong Delta.

 

- 'Worse than Covid' -

 

Now, with just two months' severance pay to survive on, Nhieu must feed her family on a few dollars a day, and her kids are struggling to get enough to eat.

 

"We have no one to help us. I will have to get us through this on my own."

 

Since September, more than 1,200 companies -- mostly foreign businesses in the garment, footwear and furniture sectors -- have been forced to sack staff or cut working hours, according to the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour.

 

Compared with last year, orders are down 30-40 percent from the United States and 60 percent from Europe, where inflation and energy bills have soared because of the war in Ukraine.

 

More than 470,000 workers have had their hours slashed in the last four months of the year while about 40,000 people have lost their jobs -- 30,000 of them women aged 35 or older, the confederation said.

 

Taiwanese giant Pouyuen, a Nike shoe producer, has put 20,000 of its workers on paid leave in rotation, while reports said Vietnam's largest foreign investor, Samsung Electronics, has started reducing its smartphone production at factories in the north.

 

The situation is bleaker than during the Covid-19 pandemic, say workers, who were helped out with food donations when strict quarantine measures forced them to stay home -- and were quickly in demand again once restrictions lifted at the end of 2021.

 

"It's not easy to find a new job like before (following the pandemic)," said Nguyen Thi Thom, 35, who was laid off from a South Korean garment firm that makes clothes for US retail giant Walmart.

 

- No dream -

 

Since her factory work finished, Thom, who has three young children, spends her days on the streets of a shiny new suburban district of Ho Chi Minh City, selling dried noodles, shrimp sauce and oranges to passers-by.

 

The slowdown has come as a shock because export businesses in Vietnam were running at "their fullest capacity" for the first half of 2022, according to Tran Viet Anh, deputy head of Ho Chi Minh City's Business Association.

 

"At the start of the third quarter, due to global inflation, consumption demands have shrunk, leading to the suspension of orders... and huge stock surplus," he told AFP.

 

But the downturn in Vietnam will likely only be temporary, Viet Anh added.

 

A cut in production during the pandemic led to a shortage of goods in the first six months of 2022, and the situation will likely repeat a year on.

 

Viet Anh said that "2023 will be a period where we increase production to compensate".

 

Until then, women like Nhieu and Thom, who form the backbone of a low-paid workforce that has helped Vietnam become a key manufacturing hub seen as an alternative to China, must find another way to keep their families afloat.

 

"I have never had the luxury of dreaming what I want from life. I have only one wish, of earning enough to survive," Nhieu said.

On this Veteran's Day, thank you to all who have served and are currently serving our country!

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is guarded 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and in any weather by Tomb Guard sentinels. Sentinels, all volunteers, are considered to be the best of the elite 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), headquartered at Fort Myer, Va.

The guard is changed every hour on the hour October 1 to March 31 in an elaborate ritual. From April 1 through September 30, there are more than double the opportunities to view the change because another change is added on the half hour.

In the Nine Years War Speyer was occupied on 28 September in 1688 by French troops. When the French General Montclar finally announced that he had orders to destroy the entire city except the cathedral, brought the Speyerer citizens its furniture and household effects, as far as they could not carry it away with the carts provided by the French in the cathedral and piled it there several meters high. On 31 May 1689, the city was finally set on fire. After the fire had spread to the vicinity of the cathedral, it was succeded to prevent the flames from spreading by hammering of adjacent roofs and putting up water tanks. By a thunderstorm on the night of 2 June but the fire was so strongly fanned that even the multiple extinguishing of the burning west end could not prevent that the fire eventually spread to the poorly accessible east dome. In this chaos invaded French soldiers in the cathedral and plundered the upper imperial and royal tombs. Only the tombs of the Salian were spared except the grave of Henry V, as they were very deep in the ground and the soldiers apparently fled from the cathedral where they left their digging equipments. Those were found at the opening of imperial tombs in 1900. Also spared was the Madonna as it was stored in a shrine. It was after its rescue brought in the Frankfurter Catherine's church and during the recolonisation of Speyer returned in the cathedral. Because of the tremendous heat the vault in the western part became fragile and collapsed. The eastern part, however, resisted the flames. It was after the repopulation of Speyer closed by a wall and further used for worship. 1755 the upper portion of the residual west end with the two towers because of the danger of collapse had to be removed.

In the second half of the 18th century was enough money availabe to build the western part of the cathedral again. Under Franz Ignaz Michael Neumann, the son of the famous baroque architect Balthasar Neumann, 1772-1778 the yawning gap in the western part of the nave has been closed in its original form. The almost completely torn down west end was under inclusion of the Romanesque porch replaced by a contemporary Baroque facade. However, it had only 100-year existence. Still today the rupture especially in using other bricks can be seen, the overall picture, however, is uniform. This early act of reconstructive preservation of historical monuments in spite of everything can be explained by the rather scarce funds of the city: A baroque new construction of the main building as a consequence also would have had the new construction of the choir to obtain an aesthetically pleasing spatial impression.

In 1794, revolutionary troops devastated the cathedral, and the house of God was deconsecrated. In the process, the entire interior was lost, and the portrait of Mary there was destroyed. Under Napoleon Bonaparte, the French troops used the cathedral as a cowshed and as food and material store. After in the Peace of Luneville of 9 February 1801 the left-bank areas binding under international law were ceded to France, the ownership of the cathedral passed to the French government. In Concordat of July 15, 1801 respectively in the Bull of Circumscription "Qui Christi Domini vices" of the November 29, 1801 recognized Pope Pius VII the dissolution of the diocese of Speyer and the assignment of the local Catholic church to the diocese of Mainz. Since the cathedral was dilapidated, due to the building assessment of architect Peter Henrion it should be demolished in 1805, the remainder of the west-wing (west-bau) being turned into a triumphal arch. However, the city council of Speyer refused to take over the for the demolition necessary costs. After the bishop of Mainz, Joseph Ludwig Colmar, had used his good relations with the wife of Napoleon, Empress Joséphine de Beauharnais and the French Culture Minister, Jean Etienne Portalis to convince them of the outstanding cultural importance of the cathedral, Napoleon agreed to withdraw the already issued demolition disposal. By imperial decree of 23 September 1806, he ordered the return of the cathedral to the Catholics of Speyer, which in it were also made responsible for the future maintenance costs. As at this time the as a church foundation established Speyer Cathedral Parish was the only in the town existing Catholic legal person, this one took over in a public ceremony on 3 November 1806 from the hands of mayor Ludwig Sonntag, as the representative of the Frenche State, the ownership of the cathedral.

After Napoleon's defeat, the diocese on the left-Rhenish area was newly established in 1817, and the cathedral not only served as a parish, but in addition again as a bishop's church; 1818-1822 it was restored and 1822 newly consecrated. 1846-1853 created the painters Johann Schraudolph and Joseph Schwarzmann commissioned by Ludwig I of Bavaria frescoes in Nazarene style.

On behalf of the former Bavarian King Ludwig I, the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I and the Duke Adolph of Nassau, in 1854-1858 was undertaken the new construction of the west-bau in neo-Romanesque style. Heinrich Hübsch, one of the most renowned architects of early Historicism, oriented himself freely to the original west-bau taking up central tower and two smaller flanking towers, however, he deviated from the draft both in the choice of materials as in the proportions considerably. The renovation of the west facade and the decoration of the cathedral were considered in the 19th century as "great work". Ludwig I was convinced that for a long time nothing greater had been created as the frescoes in the cathedral of Speyer.

At the turn of the 20th century, there was a change of mood: Georg Dehio complained in 1916 even cautiously among the disasters that have hit the dome the changes of the 19th century were not the smallest.

 

Im Pfälzischen Erbfolgekrieg wurde Speyer am 28. September 1688 von Französischen Truppen besetzt. Als der französische General Montclar schließlich verkündete, er habe den Befehl, die gesamte Stadt außer den Dom zu zerstören, brachten die Speyerer Bürger ihre Möbel und ihren Hausrat, soweit sie ihn nicht mit den durch die Franzosen bereitgestellten Karren wegschaffen konnten, in den Dom und stapelten ihn mehrere Meter hoch. Am 31. Mai 1689 wurde die Stadt schließlich in Brand gesetzt. Nachdem sich das Feuer bis in die Umgebung des Domes ausgebreitet hatte, gelang es, das Übergreifen der Flammen durch das Einschlagen von benachbarten Dächern und das Aufstellen von Wasserbehältern zu verhindern. Durch einen Gewittersturm in der Nacht zum 2. Juni wurde das Feuer aber so stark angefacht, dass selbst das mehrfache Löschen des brennenden Westbaus nicht verhinderte, dass sich das Feuer schließlich bis in die schlecht zugängliche Ostkuppel ausbreitete. In diesem Chaos drangen französische Soldaten in den Dom ein und plünderten die oberen Kaiser- und Königsgräber. Nur die Gräber der Salier blieben bis auf das Grab Heinrichs V. verschont, da sie sehr tief im Boden lagen und die Soldaten den Dom offenbar fluchtartig verließen, wobei sie ihre Grabgeräte zurückließen. Diese fand man bei der Öffnung der Kaisergräber im Jahr 1900. Ebenfalls verschont blieb das Marienbildnis, da es in einem Schrein gelagert wurde. Es wurde nach seiner Bergung in die Frankfurter Katherinenkirche gebracht und bei der Wiederbesiedlung Speyers in den Dom zurückgebracht. Durch die gewaltige Hitze wurde das Gewölbe im Westteil brüchig und stürzte ein. Der Ostteil hingegen hielt den Flammen stand. Er wurde nach der Wiederbesiedlung Speyers durch eine Mauer abgeschlossen und wurde für Gottesdienste weiter benutzt. 1755 mussten der obere Bereich des stehen gebliebenen Westbaus mit den beiden Türmen wegen Einsturzgefahr abgetragen werden.

In der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts war genügend Geld vorhanden, den Westteil des Doms wieder aufzubauen. Unter Franz Ignaz Michael Neumann, dem Sohn des berühmten Barockbaumeisters Balthasar Neumann, wurde 1772–1778 die klaffende Lücke im westlichen Teil des Langhauses in der ursprünglichen Form geschlossen. Das fast völlig abgetragene Westwerk wurde unter Einbeziehung der romanischen Vorhalle durch eine zeitgemäße barocke Fassade ersetzt. Sie hatte jedoch nur gut 100 Jahre Bestand. Heute noch ist der Bruch vor allem an der Verwendung anderer Mauersteine zu erkennen, das Gesamtbild jedoch einheitlich. Dieser frühe Akt einer rekonstruktiven Denkmalpflege lässt sich mit den trotz allem eher begrenzten Geldmitteln der Stadt erklären: Ein barocker Neubau des Langhauses hätte auch den Neubau des Chors zur Folge haben müssen, um einen ästhetisch ansprechenden Raumeindruck zu erhalten.

Im Jahr 1794 verwüsteten Revolutionstruppen den Dom, und das Gotteshaus wurde profaniert. Dabei ging die ganze Innenausstattung verloren, auch das Marienbildnis wurde dabei zerstört. Unter Napoleon Bonaparte nutzten die französischen Truppen den Dom als Viehstall sowie als Futter- und Materiallager. Nachdem im Frieden von Lunéville vom 9. Februar 1801 die linksrheinischen Gebiete völkerrechtlich verbindlich an Frankreich abgetreten worden waren, ging das Eigentum am Dom an die französische Regierung über. Im Konkordat vom 15. Juli 1801 bzw. in der Zirkumskriptionsbulle „Qui Christi Domini vices“ vom 29. November 1801 anerkannte Papst Pius VII die Aufhebung des Bistums Speyer und die Zuordnung der dortigen katholischen Gemeinde zum Bistum Mainz. Da der Dom baufällig war, sollte er infolge eines Baugutachtens des Architekten Peter Henrion im Jahr 1805 abgerissen werden, wobei der Rest des Westbaus zum Triumphbogen umgebaut werden sollte. Der Stadtrat von Speyer weigerte sich jedoch, die für den Abriss notwendigen Kosten zu übernehmen. Nachdem der Mainzer Bischof Joseph Ludwig Colmar seine guten Beziehungen zur Frau Napoleons, Kaiserin Joséphine de Beauharnais sowie zum französischen Kultusminister Jean Etienne Portalis dazu genutzt hatte, diese von der überragenden kulturellen Bedeutung des Doms zu überzeugen, erklärte sich Napoleon einverstanden, die bereits erlassene Abrissverfügung zurückzunehmen. Mit kaiserlichem Dekret vom 23. September 1806 verfügte er die Rückgabe des Doms an die Katholiken von Speyer, die darin auch für die künftigen Unterhaltskosten verantwortlich gemacht wurden. Da zu diesem Zeitpunkt die als Kirchenstiftung errichtete Speyerer Domgemeinde die einzige in der Stadt existierende katholische juristische Person war, übernahm diese im Rahmen einer öffentlichen Zeremonie am 3. November 1806 das Eigentum an der Kathedrale aus der Hand des Bürgermeisters Ludwig Sonntag als dem Vertreter des französischen Staats.

Nach der Niederlage Napoleons wurde das Bistum 1817 auf linksrheinischem Gebiet neu errichtet, und der Dom diente nicht mehr nur als Pfarr-, sondern daneben auch wieder als Bischofskirche; 1818–1822 wurde er saniert und 1822 neu geweiht. 1846–1853 schufen die Maler Johann von Schraudolph und Joseph Schwarzmann im Auftrag Ludwig I. von Bayern Fresken im Nazarener Stil.

Im Auftrag des ehemaligen bayerischen Königs Ludwig I., des österreichischen Kaisers Franz Joseph I. und des Herzogs Adolph von Nassau kam es zu einer Neuerrichtung des Westbaus 1854–1858 im neoromanischen Stil. Heinrich Hübsch, einer der renommiertesten Architekten des frühen Historismus, orientierte sich frei am ursprünglichen Westbau, indem er Mittelturm und zwei kleinere Flankentürme aufgriff, wich jedoch von der Vorlage sowohl bei der Materialwahl wie bei den Proportionen erheblich ab. Die Erneuerung der Westfassade und die Ausmalung des Doms wurden im 19. Jahrhundert als „großes Werk“ angesehen. Ludwig I. war der Überzeugung, dass seit langer Zeit nichts Größeres geschaffen worden sei als die Fresken im Speyerer Dom.

Um die Wende zum 20. Jahrhundert kam es zu einem Stimmungsumschwung: Georg Dehio beklagte 1916 sogar vorsichtig, unter den Unglücken, die den Dom getroffen hätten, seien die Veränderungen des 19. Jahrhunderts nicht die kleinsten gewesen.

I know I may sound like a noob when I say this, but I have never actually ordered from Bricklink and I'm wondering how to order a bunch of different parts from the same store instead of ordering smaller orders from a bunch a different stores and spending a lot on shipping. Please explain in the comments. Thanks! Have a good day or night!

The Decemberists - The Mariner's Revenge Song

  

The barman has issued the call to warn his patrons that it's time to consider leaving the Rose & Crown pub. Fortunately it's a pleasant evening and the streets are free of crowds.

A photo and discussion by flickr friend Ed here got me thinking and looking up a book on the classical orders to see what the difference if any exists at the base of hte different orders of columns...I then had to draw the result of my research...but not in an accurate way - after all I never manage to do neat work in my sketchbook do I?

BTW, I love architectural distractions....

Back then you were given an entire stack of orders. More copies than you really needed. I had just returned from 3rd Recon Bn about a week before (spent 3 days,...... there is a GOD) when I received orders for 3rd Tank Bn. Told to grab my gear and Mine Detector (used to scan refugees) and go. 3rd Tanks was just down the road from us at Camp Hansen. Once there, loaded onto cattle trucks for a ride down to Kadena AF Base, waited for C-130's to fly the Detachments to Subic Bay. When we landed, transport was waiting to take us to the lower MAU Camp, boarded landing craft and taken to the USS Dubuque out in the Bay and off we went. We all knew were we were headed. Most organized movement I was ever envolved in, except for the wait at Kadena.

Detachments:

Echo (12th Marines)

Foxtrot ( 12th Marines)

Hotel ( 3rd Engineer)

India (7th Comm)

Kilo (?)

Mike (?)

November (3rd Service)

Papa (4th Marines)

Quebec (?)

Romeo (?)

Sierra (HqBn)

Tango (HqBn)

Uniform (3rd Tanks)

Victor (9th Marines)

USS Barbour County (?)

MP Det.

ITT Det

CIT Det

All of the above comprised Amphibious Evacuation Security Force (AESF)

AESF was disbanded when it was all over.
