This site was emotionally difficult, but it is important to bear witness and educate. Genocide has repeated itself many times and history and goes on TODAY at this very moment. What are we doing about it?
1.7 - 3.5 Million people died from disease, overwork, and starvation. This number also include the 1.38 million people that were cruelly tortured and coldly executed in the genocide commited in Cambodia over the 4 year period of 1975-79.
The killing fields are the site of the mass graves men, women and children that were brought from the torture center at S-21 Tuol Sleng prison.
The Postcard
A postcard that was published by the Photochrom Co. Ltd. of Royal Tunbridge Wells. The card was printed in Great Britain.
The card was posted in Stratton, Cornwall using a 1d. stamp on Friday the 7th. August 1936. It was sent to:
Mrs. Henderson,
1, Anerley Road,
Sydenham,
London SE 26.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"The White House,
Stratton,
Near Bude,
N. Cornwall.
We are settled in our new
home and had our first lot
of visitors in a fortnight
now.
So we are very busy, and
on the 15th. August we are
full up.
The house is charming and
also the grounds and the
view.
I like it but miss my friends
very much, but when we
are not so busy I must see
about it.
Hope you are all well.
We went to see this place
last Sunday.
Love from Mabel."
The Suicide of the Politician Marion Zioncheck
So what else happened on the day that Mabel posted the card?
Well, the 7th. August 1936 marked the death of Marion Anthony Zioncheck. Anthony, who was born on the 5th. December 1900, was an American politician who served as a member of the House of Representatives from 1933 until his death. He represented Washington's 1st. congressional district as a Democrat.
Having struggled with his mental health during his term in Congress, Zioncheck killed himself by jumping from a height in August 1936.
-- Marion Zioncheck - The Early Years
Zioncheck was born in Kęty, Austria-Hungary (now in Poland), the son of Clemens and Frances Zajaccek (later Zioncheck).
His family immigrated to the United States in 1904, and they settled in Seattle, Washington. He attended the University of Washington where in 1927 he became president of the student government (ASUW).
He also earned a law degree from the University of Washington while earning recognition as a left-wing leader in the Democratic Party and the Washington Commonwealth Federation. The Washington Commonwealth Federation supported his election to Congress in the 1932 election.
-- Marion Zioncheck in Congress
As a U.S. Representative, Zioncheck was known mostly for ardently championing Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal policies.
However Marion's tireless work on behalf of the New Deal was often overshadowed by his many personal escapades, which included dancing in fountains and driving on the White House lawn.
Zioncheck's antics attracted attention. The United Press later described him as having become a "national joke".
Beset by the press and by critics of Roosevelt's policies, Zioncheck became depressed, and stated that he would not seek re-election to a third term in 1936.
On the 30th. May 1936, Zioncheck's wife left him after an argument during a party at their apartment. On the 1st. June he became frantic and searched Washington, D.C. for her.
He was arrested later that day on a lunacy warrant, and was confined in Gallinger Municipal Hospital Psychopathic Ward, during which his wife returned to him. Doctors blamed overwork and his hectic lifestyle.
Marion was later transferred to a private facility in Towson, Maryland, but escaped and fled to Washington, where he received congressional immunity.
-- The Suicide of Marion Zioncheck
Zioncheck died at the age of 35 after plummeting to the sidewalk from a window of his office on the fifth floor of the Arctic Building in downtown Seattle on the 7th. August 1936.
He struck the pavement directly in front of a car occupied by his wife. A note was found; it read:
"My only hope in life was to improve the
condition of an unfair economic system
that held no promise to those that all the
wealth of even a decent chance to survive
let alone live."
Zioncheck was mourned at his early death; both the University of Washington and Boeing closed down for half a day in his honor. He was laid to rest in Evergreen Washelli Memorial Park in Seattle.
His widow, as Rubye Nix Wilson, later became a well-known artist, and was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art and at the Kennedy Center.
Suicide by Jumping From Height
Jumping from a dangerous location, such as from a high window, balcony, or roof, or from a cliff, dam, or bridge, is a common suicide method. This method of suicide is known clinically as autokabalesis.
Many countries have notable suicide bridges such as the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge. Other well known suicide sites for jumping include the Eiffel Tower, Niagara Falls and Beachy Head.
Non-fatal attempts in these situations can have severe consequences, including paralysis, organ damage, broken bones and lifelong pain.
People have survived falls from buildings as high as 47 floors (500-feet/152.4 metres). Most think that jumping will lead to an instant death. However, in many cases, death is not instant.
Jumping is the most common method of suicide in Hong Kong, accounting for 52% of all reported suicide cases in 2006 and similar rates for the years before that.
The Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention of the University of Hong Kong believes that it may be due to the abundance of easily accessible high-rise buildings in Hong Kong.
In the United States, jumping is among the least common methods of suicide (less than 2% of all reported suicides in 2005). However, in a 75-year period to 2012, there had been around 1,400 suicides at the Golden Gate Bridge.
In New Zealand, secure fencing at the Grafton Bridge substantially reduced the rate of suicides.
-- Suicide Method
Survivors of falls from hazardous heights are often left with major injuries and permanent disabilities from the impact-related injuries.
A frequent scenario is that the jumper will sit on an elevated highway or building-ledge as police attempt to talk them down. Observers sometimes encourage potential jumpers to jump, an effect known as "suicide baiting".
Almost all falls from beyond about 10 stories are fatal, although people have survived much higher falls than this, even onto hard surfaces.
For example, one suicidal jumper survived a fall from the 39th. story of a building, as has a non-suicidal window washer who accidentally fell from the 47th. floor.
Suicidal jumpers have sometimes injured or even killed people on the ground on whom they land.
There is limited information surrounding the demographics of those who die by jumping. However, some studies find differences between those who jump from high-rise residential buildings and those who jump from a suicide bridge.
There is some evidence to suggest that younger males are overrepresented in those who jump from bridges, while age is not a notable factor in suicides from high-rise residential buildings.
The highest documented suicide jump was by skydiver Charles "Nish" Bruce, who killed himself by leaping without a parachute from an airplane, at an altitude of over 5,000 feet (1,500 m).
-- Suicide by Jumping out of a Window
Autodefenestration is the term used for the act of jumping, propelling oneself, or causing oneself to fall, out of a window. This phenomenon played a notable role in such events as the Triangle Shirtwaist fire of 1911, the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, and other disasters.
In the United States, autodefenestration is among the least common methods of dying by suicide (less than 2% of all reported suicides in the United States for 2005).
There is an urban legend in the US that many Wall Street investors autodefenestrated during the 1929 stock market crash. After the stock market collapse of 2008 this was alluded to by protestors brandishing a sign on Wall Street which said: "Jump, you f*ckers!"
-- The Prevalence of Suicidal Jumping
Jumping only makes up 3% of suicides in the US and Europe, which is a much smaller percentage than is generally perceived by the public. Jumping is surprisingly infrequent because tall buildings are often condo or office buildings not accessible to the general public, and because open-air areas of high buildings (i.e., rooftop restaurants or pools) are often surrounded by high walls that are built precisely to prevent suicides.
Jumping makes up 20% of suicides in NYC due to the prevalence of publicly accessible skyscrapers.
-- Prevention Strategies
Multiple intervention strategies have been applied to suicidal jumping. Some of these strategies take physical forms, such as installing barriers to restrict access at suicide sites or by adding a safety net.
In 1996, safety barriers were removed from the Grafton Bridge in Auckland, New Zealand. After their removal, there was a five-fold increase in the number of suicides from the bridge.
Other sites have installed signs containing telephone hotline numbers, or incorporated surveillance measures such as patrols and trained gatekeepers. Beachy Head is continuously patrolled.
In addition to these measures, there has been a push to more closely monitor media coverage of suicide, especially suicides from well known sites, which typically involve suicide by jumping. Guidelines for media sources on how to cover the topic attempt to reduce the risk of suicide contagion via responsible reporting, informing on the complexities of suicide, and publicizing resources and stories of hope.
Constructing barriers is not the only option, and it can be expensive. Other method-specific prevention actions include making staff members visible in high-risk areas, using closed-circuit television cameras to identify people in inappropriate places or behaving abnormally (e.g., lingering in a place that people normally spend little time in), and installing awnings and soft-looking landscaping, which deters suicide attempts by making the place look ineffective.
Another factor in reducing jumping deaths is to avoid suggesting in news articles, signs, or other communication that a high-risk place is a common, appropriate, or effective place for dying by jumping from. However the efficacy of signage is uncertain, and may depend on whether the wording is simple and appropriate.
-- Terminology
In the United States, jumper is a term used by the police and media organizations for a person who plans to fall or jump (or already has fallen or jumped) from a potentially deadly height, sometimes with the intention to die by suicide, at other times to escape conditions inside (e.g. a burning building).
The term was brought to prominence in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, in which two hijacked airliners were deliberately crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, trapping hundreds in the upper floors of both buildings and setting the impacted floors ablaze.
As a direct consequence, more than 200 people plummeted to their deaths from the burning skyscrapers, primarily from the North Tower with only 3 spotted from the South.
Most of these people deliberately made the decision to die by jumping as a quicker alternative to burning alive or dying from smoke inhalation; however, a small percentage of these deaths were not jumpers, but people who accidentally fell.
Many of these victims were inadvertently captured on both television and amateur footage, even though television networks reporting on the tragedy attempted to avoid showing people falling in order to avoid further traumatizing viewers.
This shot, of dig supervisor Xiao Yue photographing the bottom of an excavated Shang dynasty well in Anyang, China, commemorates all the incredible ingenuity that archaeologists around the world have to embody in order to accomplish anything. Overworked and underfunded, but we do what we have to do! (And have fun doing it.)
We slept in and it was so nice! We had stayed up and watched some old Batman movie last night after having company for a while and so it was late when we finally toddled off to bed.
I've got work to do today that I neglected yesterday, bad me. However I did spend lots of time with Tanner and that was good for both of us.
Today's picture is what I would call overworked, I was just messing around drawing a chair in my living room and found it hard to get the feel of the black, soft leather.
My wall does not have wall paper with rectangles on it, I just did that to make the little drawing more interesting.
Here is a picture of my little guy yesterday, he had gone hunting but didn't actually find anything so he was disappointed. He's so cute running out with his little bow and bear skin quiver. He was trying to look like the mighty Legolas in this picture, that's who he imagines himself to be when he goes out with his bow. :-D

The less proud moments were not ignored. When the indigenous workers in the sugar cane fields started to die from overwork, slaves were brought, at first from Cuba.
Labradorite is a beautiful grayish stone, and when the light hits it at the right angle, it sets off a gorgeous flash of blue, green or even orange and yellow. From the Encyclo-bead-ia: “Labradorite is a tremendously spiritual stone. …It is especially helpful for people who tend to overwork. It helps us regain our energy and aids our bodies and spirits in healing themselves. If you practice meditation (or would like to), focusing on labradorite can help you enter and maintain the meditative state. Like the sound and glistening beauty of a gentle rain, this gemstone quiets us physically, emotionally and spiritually.”

The construction of the third studio at Giverny meant that winter was no longer a rest period for the artist. Quite the reverse: it was now the season for working indoors, bringing with it the risk that the old man would become overworked. At this time Monet worked on willow motifs in particular, in which the design is basically reduced to the shimmering of colours and the movements of the vegetation. The motif is created by broad strips of colour depicting the hanging branches of the trees. These canvases were part of what the Duc de Tr関ise called the 憊ast, disconcerting studies?which he regarded as 憈angles of related tints and shades, that no other eye could have unravelled, these strange assortments of ethereal wool.
This copier is so fast it caught fire.....but really I set it on fire after talking the boss in letting me have it...5 years ago this copier was worth $45,000.
My group was waiting in a shoddy little lunch room with 6 chairs. As I parked myself next to a very warm pop machine, I realized I had to pee and was going to be drowning in my own urine by the time this was over, three hours later. I did drown in my own urine. You could say I had to pee so bad, I could almost taste it.
i know i'm a week behind in uploading. i worked late last week and took a picture at work and then it languished on my work pc. so i finished it up today. its my second clone and i think its better executed. sometimes i wish i had four other johns to help me out at work. i hope this is the only picture in my 365 where i am at my desk.
The Florida Panthers mascot, Stanley C. Panther, was overworked. Stressed. Too much to do, too little time. So, in a (Austin Powers?) inspired moment, Stanley cloned himself, producing a kid-friendly Mini-Stanley.
This is actually one of my favorite ideas that I'd like to explore further. The idea here is that the little circles make the letter shapes without actual borders.
This has a dual connotation - On the one hand it can represent the millions of tiny details that one overworked IT or Facilities Manager needs help with. On the other hand it can represent the aggregated buying power the suppliers suddenly have access to through CFN.

A killer wait in the heat of the late afternoon, a crowded restaurant that caters to the Catalan speaking locals, and an overworked staff that rarely had a moment to get their bearings. Yet, we enjoyed one of the most delicious and hospitable meals we have ever experienced. The bartender/waiter/busboy/manager felt very bad about our long wait and comped us our wines; we paid it back in tips. I would do the whole experience again: wait, heat, crowds, and the alien feeling of being an outsider included.
I love autumn, but I just have not been feeling the fall photography love. Too tired and too overworked to be very inspired, but I feel like if I don't take at least a few photos I never will again.
Orangerie Museum, Tuileries gardens, Paris
Six great intellectuals recently described the museum chosen and arranged by Claude Monet to
showcase his “testamentary” masterpieces as “Unique in its genre”.
Next to the Nymphéas, “the haven of peaceful meditation”, a gift to modern man with his “overworked
nerves”, the Orangerie offers a fabulous concentration of masterpieces from the Jean Walter and Paul
Guillaume Collection, a highly original insight into modern art featuring Cézanne, Renoir, Picasso,
Rousseau, Matisse, Derain, Modigliani, Soutine, Utrillo and Laurencin.
Closed for renovation work since January 2000, completely reviewed and restructured, the museum
was reopened to the public in May 2006.
CUNY staff members are protesting the exploitation of adjunct faculty by CUNY, as they are denied office hours and equal pay for equal work, and often prevented from even working enough classes to pay the bills while fighting to raise the wages and make overwork a thing of the past. they are also protesting against tuition hikes at CUNY, and demanding the return of free CUNY.

So I pretty much failed at reprinting the Erinyes-- ran short on time. And the dog somehow jumped on my one good copy so that one was screwed too. But I got the rest of my Acryla paints in yesterday and decided to turn one of the many overworked prints into a 'bandit print', as my old prof would say. No huge drastic changes, but just some clean ups and fixes to problems I had before. Plus some little Greek columns in the back to add to it. It looks really odd in the normal size, but when you click all sizes it looks less odd. That's what I get for taking a picture instead of a scan I guess!
This bandit print is winging its way in typical last minute fashion to Giant Robot SF. Hurry little print!
I set this overworked gelli print aside for weeks. Then I saw some odd faces in it and drew them out. Kept playing and got this. Strange things reveal themselves.

It’s easy to blame those yawns and feelings of fatigue on being too busy or not getting enough sleep or being overly stressed.
Most times, you’d be correct.
But sometimes, it’s not just “normal” fatigue. And that’s when it’s important to...

Day Forty-Eight: January 29th, 2007.
Okay, I'm not REALLY asleep but hopefully, I soon will be. This was actually taken at 2:30am on January 29th so it's a bit of a companion to my previous "Knackered" picture.
I can't keep track of what day it is anymore. I'm getting a little more sleep the last few days than I was last week but it's not enough, not nearly enough.
Too much going on in my head about personal matters and so overworked. It's hard to get to sleep, hard to stay sleep and impossible to sleep in.
I'm on the computer morning, noon and night working. And not getting nearly enough breaks or sleep. It'll all be worth it when I get free time back in February and I can have some fun like:
A possible trip to the Cities for the end of Winter Carnival.
A possible trip to the Cities for the CD release party of my favorite Irish band.
A night at the theater with Kristin.
A possible trip AS FAR OUT OF MINNESOTA as I can get!!!
A new scavenger hunt on Flickr.
Maybe just treating myself to a whirlpool suite at a hotel here in Duluth for a night.

Now that's more like it!
This entire entry is nerdy stuff about about baking bread, so I won't be in the least bit offended if you want to just skip to the next picture.
A few days ago I mentioned that I seemed to have lost the knack of producing sourdough bread with good ovenspring. I wondered if I was overworking the dough, leading to over-fermentation. I decided that on my next bake I would handle the dough a lot less, and see what happened.
On Saturday Roger and Livia gave me a Swedish baking book for my birthday, Bröd Bröd Bröd by Martin Johansson and today I baked the first recipe from the book.
Now, it wasn't sourdough, but it used many of the same techniques and only a very small amount of yeast. It is also a no-kneading bread so the preparation involves a certain amount of waiting around, but very little work with the dough. So, it was just what I wanted to try.
I am very satisfied with the visual result. It looks very good, to me at least. I haven't actually tasted the product yet, or cut it open to check the crumb. That will probably be at breakfast tomorrow.
There are a couple more points I need to remember...
An added ingredient, not in the recipe, is 180g gooseberry jam, which had started to ferment. This makes the dough sweeter than usual and may have led to the charred edge of the ear, where the bread opened up as it baked.
Most recipes say heat the oven to temperature 30 - 60 minutes before you bake. In these days of expensive energy Foodgeek did an experiment...
... putting his sourdough into a cold oven and letting the bread bake as the oven warmed up. It worked really well! This bread was placed into my oven at about 100°C as it warmed to 230°C (Inside an iron pot, a Dutch oven). It also worked fine, saving me time and electricity.
A bit crazy trying to draw as the leading boat sails past... I then proceeded to overwork the colouring! Sigh!
Day Eleven: November 10th, 2006.
I'm not sure what I feel today. I haven't had much time for thoughts much less feelings. Today was another busy work day, actually probably one of the busiest I've had since I started this job. And I guess it's probably a good thing. Keeps me out of trouble this whole not thinking thing.
My hands are sick of typing, my eyes are straining looking at the screen and I've had a headache all evening. I guess I haven't been very good about taking breaks lately. I guess I know why.
Anyway, I've earned my day off tomorrow and I don't have a clue how I'll spend it yet but no matter the weather, I'm getting out SOMEWHERE tomorrow and maybe Day 12 will have a slightly more interesting backdrop.
There's one big piece of news to share. About a half hour ago, I bought my NEW CAMERA! Oh yeah! I did it! Pay day today and I bit the bullet. I hope I'll be happy with my choice.
And surprisingly that's the most enthusiasm I can muster about it. I thought I'd be a little more excited and I'm sure I will when it actually comes but right now, I'm just overworked and exhausted and ready for a good night's sleep.
It's an unusual day when I'm not uploading a bunch of pictures to Flickr. We'll see if things return to normal tomorrow.
G'night.
