My recommendation was to see if he can get a new pen. : )

In this new work, Adam Harvey explores the agency and control inherent in certain ways of creating and encoding data, by transposing labels into different value systems for autonomous vehicles to see the world from the perspective of cyclists, pedestrians, or the natural terrain. Working with object detection, semantic segmentation, image classification algorithms, and existing autonomous vehicle training datasets, Harvey develops a new “zone system” and an “algorithmic realism” to rethink the top-down causality of computer vision taxonomies against a backdrop of environmental crisis.

In Different, Prof. Moon discusses the idea of market hypermaturity. She references the song Satisfaction, reminding us that the promise of whiter whites has been around for too many decades, with detrimental effects.
Many of our clients are experiencing category hypermaturity; repeated and expensive micro segmentation resulting in hypersatisfied, apathetic consumers.
The White Shirt Dilemma reminds us that our industry needs focus on insightful service innovation and value delivery if we wish to stay relevant, and abandon the incremental and insignificant product improvements clogging consumer wavelengths.
This is the fresh scat (enlarged below) deposited conspicuously on the trail, about 250 yards north from where the Bobcat was first seen with prey. It contained hair and some bone or tooth fragments, and no vegetable matter (unless there are some tiny seeds in the fragment nearer the lower edge of the image) was evident. Bore was about 1" at widest point (6 inch ruler depicted for scale), There was minor to no segmentation, and the ends were pointed.Usually the Bobcat scat I have found had less tapering of the ends, Round ends and "Tootsie Roll" segmentation are said to be characteristic of Bobcat Scat. This is less well formed than the scat I usually find. There are Gray Foxes but no Coyotes in this area, to my knowledge. There were no scratch marks or tracks near the deposit. Females are said to usually conceal their scat, especially when denning, while males often mark their territories by placing scat out in the open. The cat I photographed this morning looked rather bulky and well may have been a male. I have earlier found older multiple old scat deposits in one particular area of the trail about 75 yards north of this spot. Visit blog.rosyfinch.com

Vienna 1, The Franciscan Church
The Franciscans go back to St. Francis of Assisi and thus the 13th Century. They were founded as a mendicant orders but soon the arose the question how literally one should take the declaration of poverty. Was it allowed to make financial provision for elderly or sick brothers? Finally it came to the segmentation of the faith community, the more liberal Minoriten (Friars Minor Conventual) made their own order, while the Franciscans followed the old conventions. 1453 came the first Franciscan, John of Capistrano, to Vienna.
He founded the first Franciscan monastery in what is now 6th District. But the monks had to flee when the Turks besieged Vienna in 1529 and the monastery burned down. It took until 1589 until the city of Vienna gave them the at that time vacant monastery together with appendant church. The house, in its place now stands the monastery had already been donated in 1306 by wealthy citizens - namely for "loose women" who wanted give up their trade and convert themselves.
1476 was at the Weichenburg (hence Weihburggasse) inaugurated a church with seven altars, where formerly a "Pfarrheusl (small parsonage)" had stood for the soul welfare of the female residents. At the time of the Reformation, however, moral values in this house went downhill. 1553, the Foundation was dissolved, but it took yet until 1572 before the last resident had died. For eight years, the building was then an educational establishment for girls of poor people.
When the Franciscans now had got the property, they started in 1603 with a reconstruction of the church, which was consecrated in 1611. 1614, the foundation stone was laid for the new monastery.
The statues on the west facade are left Francis of Assisi and Anthony of Padua right. In the middle, on the pediment of the west portal of the Church stands Jerome, protector of the church. He is surrounded by two angle putti.
But let's go inside the church. Maria with the ax is the altarpiece above the high altar. The statue was carved in 1505 from lime wood and has its own story. She comes from the Green Mountain (Grünberg) in Bohemia, which was under the control the Sternberg family. Since the family in the meantime had become Protestant, it wanted to burn the statue. She were thrown into the fire - but the next day she stood unharmed again in the chapel. Now, the executioner was called who should dismember the effigy. However, even that was impossible, because the ax stuck in the shoulder of Mary and it was not possible to get it out. There it is still today. (You have to look closely, but then you see the great ax with slightly curved stem.) But that's not enough. A few years later the Madonna was lost in the gamble by a gegenreformierten (counter-reformed) Sternberg. The new owner, the Polish Baron Turnoffsky gave she in 1607 the Franciscan monastery. Exactly 100 years later, she got her current stand on the high altar.
The stone structure between altar and the statue of the Madonna also contains a crucifix, which dates from the beginning of the 17th Century. The wooden statues left and right represent the Saints Jerome respectively Francis and are typical examples of the so-called Franciscan carving school. It operated 1690-1730 and was run by lay brothers. The overall concept for the high altar dates back to the Jesuit Andrea dal Pozzo.
A special attraction is the organ by Hans Wöckherl that was already built in 1642 and today is the oldest organ in Vienna. It is, however, disappeared from the visible church, because it is behind the high altar and is only shown every Friday between 15.00 und 15.30 clock. In addition, one demans for that six euro entry...
The single-nave church has to both sides side chapels, of them I want to show two.
On the left we see the Magdalene Chapel, which was consecrated already in 1614 for the first time. 1644 and 1722, however, followed Neustiftungen (new foundings). The stucco decoration stems from 1644. The paintings in the vault are much more recent, from 1893. The altarpiece depicts the grieving Mary Magdalene under the Cross. It was created in 1725 by Carlo Innocenzo Carlone. The image above shows Veronica's handkerchief with the face of Christ. It was painted by Wolfram Koeberl and in 1974 installed. The statues beside the altar represent the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist. The two above chapels are provided with food grid, so that one could give Communion here.
An Immaculata chapel (pictured above right) is there since the existence of the church, but this was rebuilt in 1722. Previously, since 1642, there was a Michael altar here. From this period dates still the stucco decor on the ceiling. The altarpiece is by Johann Georg Schmidt, who painted it in 1721. The lateral statues depict the Saint Joachim and the mother of Mary.
Also the Capistrano Chapel, which was founded in 1723, is worth mentioning. The lateral stucco decor shows on the left side (picture) the glorification of St. John Capistrano, who, as I said, was the first Franciscan in Vienna. Right you can see him as a standard-bearer of Christian doctrine in the wars against the Turks. Both stucco images date from the time of the foundation. The altarpiece by Franz Xaver Wagenschön originated in 1761 and shows Capistrano in a scene from 1451, in Brescia when he healed a possessed man.
In the picture we see also the statue of Saint George, as he is killing the (admittedly small) dragon.
On the other side of the chapel is the Holy Florian, while Clara and Theresa stand next to the altar. Behind the altar there is a reliquary in glass from about 1720, in which we see a wax image of the Holy Hilaria. The relic shall be imbedded in the wax. Hilaria is rather unknown, but she was a martyr who was converted by Bishop Narcissus. She died in the year 304 in Augsburg, at the behest of the governor Gaius, because she did not want to renounce the Christian faith. About the nature of death, there are different opinions.
In the church there is a plaque that claims that she was burned at the grave of her daughter, while the Holy Encyclopedia states that she was enclosed in her house and this was then set on fire.
In the chapel opposite, the Chapel of the Good Shepherd, there is also a glass coffin with a relic. This is the skeleton of the Felix Puer wearing the uniform of a Roman Centurion.
As a counterpart to the pulpit, this just opposite, you will find the monument of Johann Nepomuk. We see how he flows on the water of the Vltava river after he was thrown in Prague there. He actually was called "John from Nepomuk" in Czech "ne Pomuk". The wife of Emperor Wenceslas IV is said to have chosen him as confessor. The Emperor wanted to know then what she had confessed, but Johann Nepomuk did not betray the seal of confession and was therefore thrown into the water. The Empress had then an appearance of five stars.
(We see she also in the water of the monument.) These stars indicated were one could find the body. So much for the legend.
The fact is that Johann Nepomuk was tortured by the king and thrown into the Vltava. The activating moment was a dispute over a new monastery between the emperor and the archbishop of Prague, in which John Nepomuk was trampled underfoot ...
The pulpit was built in 1726 and was executed by the Franciscan carving school. At the parapet there are wooden reliefs of Matthew, Mark and Luke. The relief of the fourth evangelist, John, is attached to the pulpit door. At the parapet you further can see statues of Capistrano and Bonaventura, while on the sounding board are sitting Anthony of Padua and Berhardin of Siena. At the top stands the freeze image of Francis of Assisi.
The pews were 1727 - 1729 by brother Johann Gottfried Hartmann built and carved.
Kindly don't ask me the number of Gods worshiped here in Modern India. There
are "N" number of God, Dummy God, Human God, Babajis , Gurujis and Mata-Jis here. Its a big business. Even there is a special God at Calcutta High Court known as Highcourteswar !! Jet set Gurujis and Matajis are dime a dozen they run multimillion dollar BusinessEmpire. In the Market of God , segmentation has been done very professionally ; for every socio-economic segment there is number of options open; stipulated offerings to Gods & Gurus depend upon the segment that they cater to and belong to. This person is a lower level operator in the big game of "God for Sale" saling Photographs of God & Godess.
This is not the real face of Hinduism; this is a fall out of the Socio Economic condition present in India (and Indian Sub-continent) for the last 500 yrs. Here justice, social security and equality of opportunity depend upon fate for the majority of the mass. If you are really interested to know the true face of Hinduism then please read

A common strategy in urban revitalization and related projects has been to divide up a city into planning districts. What's new is how they are now trying to "brand" them. It's a form of metropolitan market segmentation, inspired by corporations which must market multiple brands of similar products.
In many cities nowadays, one can see this with things like colorful lightpole banners which proclaim which neighborhood you're in.
Wichita's planners gave Delano these permanent sidewalk insignia which can be found up and down some of the reconstructed sidewalks.
Here's my take on the logo they've created:
The circle around "Delano" represents the roundabout at W. Douglas & Sycamore (where the iconic clock tower was built). The clock tower - surroundind by trees (for the nearby parks) and the Arkansas/Little Arkansas River - is above the top part of the circle. A longhorn, representing Delano's history as the railhead on the Chisholm Trail, is at the bottom.

Some sandstone in the Santa Cruz Mountains have variable levels of calcium carbonate segmentation resulting is certain parts being softer than others. The heavy rainfalls in our mountains contain carbon dioxide from the air which seeps into the sandstone and dissolves the softer areas of calcium carbonate holding the sand grains in place. During our dry season (we do have a short one,) the calcium carbonate is drawn to the rock's surface forming a deposit that resists erosion. This leaves the uncemented sand below to crumble away. The resulting caves and honeycomb formations are called tafoni.
There are three areas in the Santa Cruz Mountains, all off of Skyline Boulevard (Highway 35,) that are particularly known for their tafoni. The most well known is at Castle Rock State Park. The sandstone here is hard enough that climbing is allowed and on 80-foot high sandstone outcropping is particularly popular.
Across Skyline Boulevard from Castle Rock in Sanborn County Park their is Summit Rock. With an elevation of 3076 feet you can take in the tafoni along with a nice panorama view of the Silicon Valley. On the down side, there is some graffiti on Summit Rock probable. The county parks just aren't as well policed as state parks and the hike is short enough that slobs can find their way to deface this natural beauty.
The third area of noted tafoni is located in the El Corte de Madera Creek Open Space Preserve between Highway 92 and Woodside Road at Skegg's Point Caltrans Rest Stop. The rock is only 2.5 mile hike from Highway 35. However, the bad guys haven't discovered this area yet so please only tell your responsible friends. There are 33 miles of multi-use trains within this 2,821-acre preserve. The preserve was established to protect the headwaters of the San Gregorio Creek watershed that is critical habitat for steelhead trout and coho salmon. Therefore, certain trails have been closed to the public to enable restoration. Failure of visitors to respect these closures could easily result in the entire preserve being closed to the public. The sandstone at El Corte de Madera Creek is softer and more fragile than at places such as Castle Rock and climbing is not allowed here. The up side of the rock being more fragile is that the tafoni is more spectacular. So, we highly recommend this preserve to our responsible flickr photographer friends. The light at the sandstone is very filtered and I really needed to carry a sturdier tripod (I normally just have a Trekpod) and a strong external flash for flash fill. Next time I'm bringing these items along.
Seen today during my early morning walk at a local Marina.
The Ice Plant is a native of South Africa. In the early 1900s C. edulis was brought to California from South Africa to stabilize soil along railroad tracks and was later put to use by Caltrans for similar purposes. Thousands of acres were planted in California until the 1970s. It easily spreads by seed (hundreds per fruit) and from segmentation (any shoot segment can produce roots). Its succulent foliage, bright magenta or yellow flowers, and resistance to some harsh coastal climatic conditions (salt) have also made it a favoured garden plant. The Ice Plant was for several decades widely promoted as an ornamental plant, and it is still available at some nurseries. Ice Plant foliage can turn a vibrant red to yellow in color.
Basically the same product sold as luggage scale: 35€, and as fish scale: 20€. Guess which one I bought.

Bug on Drummond's Asters
-Central Oklahoma
Have YOU ever wondered where LIGHTNING BUGS go during the day?
This is a Pennsylvania Leatherwing on tiny "Drummond's Aster" weed flowers, taken in my yard yesterday after another day of rain.
Soldier beetles get their name from the military uniform-like markings on some species. A common and easily-spotted species is the Pennsylvania leatherwing, which is yellow with one large black spot on each wing.
FYI:
The soldier beetles, Cantharidae, are relatively soft-bodied, straight-sided beetles, related to the Lampyridae or firefly family, but being unable to produce light. They are cosmopolitan in distribution. One common British species is bright red, reminding people of the red coats of soldiers, hence the common name. A secondary common name is leatherwing, obtained from the texture of the wing covers.
Historically, these beetles were placed in a superfamily "Cantharoidea", which has been subsumed by the superfamily Elateroidea; the name is still sometimes used as a rankless grouping, including the families Cantharidae, Drilidae, Lampyridae, Lycidae, Omalisidae, Omethidae, Phengodidae (which includes Telegeusidae), and Rhagophthalmidae.
Soldier beetles are highly desired by gardeners as biological control agents of a number of pest insects. The larvae tend to be dark brown or gray, slender and wormlike with a rippled appearance due to pronounced segmentation. They consume grasshopper eggs, aphids, caterpillars and other soft bodied insects, most of which are pests.
The adults are especially important predators of aphids. They supplement their diet with nectar and pollen and can be minor pollinators. Soldier beetle populations can be increased by planting good nectar- or pollen-producing plants such as Asclepias or Solidago.

The single-nave church has to both sides side chapels, of them I want to show two.
On the left we see the Magdalene Chapel, which was consecrated already in 1614 for the first time. 1644 and 1722, however, followed Neustiftungen (new foundings). The stucco decoration stems from 1644. The paintings in the vault are much more recent, from 1893. The altarpiece depicts the grieving Mary Magdalene under the Cross.

In the chapel opposite, the Chapel of the Good Shepherd, there is also a glass coffin with a relic. This is the skeleton of the Felix Puer wearing the uniform of a Roman Centurion.
As a counterpart to the pulpit, this just opposite, you will find the monument of Johann Nepomuk. We see how he flows on the water of the Vltava river after he was thrown in Prague there. He actually was called "John from Nepomuk" in Czech "ne Pomuk". The wife of Emperor Wenceslas IV is said to have chosen him as confessor. The Emperor wanted to know then what she had confessed, but Johann Nepomuk did not betray the seal of confession and was therefore thrown into the water. The Empress had then an appearance of five stars.
(We see she also in the water of the monument.) These stars indicated were one could find the body. So much for the legend.
The fact is that Johann Nepomuk was tortured by the king and thrown into the Vltava. The activating moment was a dispute over a new monastery between the emperor and the archbishop of Prague, in which John Nepomuk was trampled underfoot ...
The pulpit was built in 1726 and was executed by the Franciscan carving school. At the parapet there are wooden reliefs of Matthew, Mark and Luke. The relief of the fourth evangelist, John, is attached to the pulpit door. At the parapet you further can see statues of Capistrano and Bonaventura, while on the sounding board are sitting Anthony of Padua and Berhardin of Siena. At the top stands the freeze image of Francis of Assisi.
The pews were 1727 - 1729 by brother Johann Gottfried Hartmann built and carved.

Brachycera is a suborder of Diptera. It is a major suborder consisting of around 120 families. The most distinguishing characteristic of the suborder is reduced antenna segmentation.

Specifically for the Hendrickson Mayfly, but could be tied to match any other species, I like the way they sit in the water, the segmentation, and the taper.

Some sandstone in the Santa Cruz Mountains have variable levels of calcium carbonate segmentation resulting is certain parts being softer than others. The heavy rainfalls in our mountains contain carbon dioxide from the air which seeps into the sandstone and dissolves the softer areas of calcium carbonate holding the sand grains in place. During our dry season (we do have a short one,) the calcium carbonate is drawn to the rock's surface forming a deposit that resists erosion. This leaves the uncemented sand below to crumble away. The resulting caves and honeycomb formations are called tafoni.
There are three areas in the Santa Cruz Mountains, all off of Skyline Boulevard (Highway 35,) that are particularly known for their tafoni. The most well known is at Castle Rock State Park. The sandstone here is hard enough that climbing is allowed and on 80-foot high sandstone outcropping is particularly popular.
Across Skyline Boulevard from Castle Rock in Sanborn County Park their is Summit Rock. With an elevation of 3076 feet you can take in the tafoni along with a nice panorama view of the Silicon Valley. On the down side, there is some graffiti on Summit Rock probable. The county parks just aren't as well policed as state parks and the hike is short enough that slobs can find their way to deface this natural beauty.
The third area of noted tafoni is located in the El Corte de Madera Creek Open Space Preserve between Highway 92 and Woodside Road at Skegg's Point Caltrans Rest Stop. The rock is only 2.5 mile hike from Highway 35. However, the bad guys haven't discovered this area yet so please only tell your responsible friends. There are 33 miles of multi-use trains within this 2,821-acre preserve. The preserve was established to protect the headwaters of the San Gregorio Creek watershed that is critical habitat for steelhead trout and coho salmon. Therefore, certain trails have been closed to the public to enable restoration. Failure of visitors to respect these closures could easily result in the entire preserve being closed to the public. The sandstone at El Corte de Madera Creek is softer and more fragile than at places such as Castle Rock and climbing is not allowed here. The up side of the rock being more fragile is that the tafoni is more spectacular. So, we highly recommend this preserve to our responsible flickr photographer friends. The light at the sandstone is very filtered and I really needed to carry a sturdier tripod (I normally just have a Trekpod) and a strong external flash for flash fill. Next time I'm bringing these items along.
Hook: Tiemco nymph hook in sizes 12 and 14.
Thread: Uni-thread 8/0 in tan or a bright, contrasting colors such as orange or red.
Body: Either two strand floss or flat-waxed nylon.
Colors for body: Yellow and orange are best, but try red, black and olive as well. If using flat waxed nylon use white and then color the body with a permanent marker in any of the suggested colors.
Overlay: Peacock herl
Hackle: Light brown.
Tying Procedure:
Cover the shank with thread and stop at the bend.
At the bend, tie in two peacock herl strands and either two strands of floss or flat-waxed nylon thread. Best if you put the flat-waxed nylon in a bobbin before you start using it.
Select a light brown dry fly hackle whose barbs do not extend before the bend of the hook, and this is very important, tie the hackle in upside down so that when palmering, the barbs bend forward toward the eye of hook. That is a key feature of this fly.
Wrap the body material forward to the head space and then back again. Do this several times until the body is torpedo shaped. Make it thin, but not too thin and not too “chunky” either.
Tie off and use the permanent marker on all of the body, if using white thread.
With your tying thread moved up to the head space, bring the herl over the back and tie it down at the beginning of the head space. Keep it in place with your finger for this next procedure.
Begin palmering the brown hackle making evenly spaced segmentations all the way to the beginning of the head space. Tie off and half hitch.
Switch thread to an appropriate head space thread; one that compliments the body or contrasts it.
*If you wish to use this as a wet fly in a lake or deep river hole, you may want to put some .20 lead on the shank just prior to tying in the body material. Otherwise, fish it dry with or without floatant. This fly will work, but you may need to experiment to find just the right kind of presentation.

The ability to recognize features in ancient sedimentary rocks that can only be attributed to the former presence of life is a challenge with high relevance to the study of early life on Earth and on other planets. To understand how micro-organisms mediate the nucleation and growth of CaCO3 crystals and thereby become fossilized, is thereby of unequivocal importance. Small centimeter-diameter biofilms forming in places at the surface of an active cold spring tufa deposit in the Gottéron valley (near Fribourg) provide a recent, field laboratory to study these processes. Non-destructive 3D imaging using μ-CT showed where and how calcite crystals start precipitating below the surface and within the core of a, seemingly unlithified, photosyntezing biofilm. They thereby preserve a laminated internal structure, such as often observed in ‘stromatolites’, the oldest recognized and identified (microbial) fossils on our planet. ¦ Image#4_10

Vienna 1, The Franciscan Church
The Franciscans go back to St. Francis of Assisi and thus the 13th Century. They were founded as a mendicant orders but soon the arose the question how literally one should take the declaration of poverty. Was it allowed to make financial provision for elderly or sick brothers? Finally it came to the segmentation of the faith community, the more liberal Minoriten (Friars Minor Conventual) made their own order, while the Franciscans followed the old conventions. 1453 came the first Franciscan, John of Capistrano, to Vienna.
He founded the first Franciscan monastery in what is now 6th District. But the monks had to flee when the Turks besieged Vienna in 1529 and the monastery burned down. It took until 1589 until the city of Vienna gave them the at that time vacant monastery together with appendant church. The house, in its place now stands the monastery had already been donated in 1306 by wealthy citizens - namely for "loose women" who wanted give up their trade and convert themselves.
1476 was at the Weichenburg (hence Weihburggasse) inaugurated a church with seven altars, where formerly a "Pfarrheusl (small parsonage)" had stood for the soul welfare of the female residents. At the time of the Reformation, however, moral values in this house went downhill. 1553, the Foundation was dissolved, but it took yet until 1572 before the last resident had died. For eight years, the building was then an educational establishment for girls of poor people.
When the Franciscans now had got the property, they started in 1603 with a reconstruction of the church, which was consecrated in 1611. 1614, the foundation stone was laid for the new monastery.
The statues on the west facade are left Francis of Assisi and Anthony of Padua right. In the middle, on the pediment of the west portal of the Church stands Jerome, protector of the church. He is surrounded by two angle putti.
But let's go inside the church. Maria with the ax is the altarpiece above the high altar. The statue was carved in 1505 from lime wood and has its own story. She comes from the Green Mountain (Grünberg) in Bohemia, which was under the control the Sternberg family. Since the family in the meantime had become Protestant, it wanted to burn the statue. She were thrown into the fire - but the next day she stood unharmed again in the chapel. Now, the executioner was called who should dismember the effigy. However, even that was impossible, because the ax stuck in the shoulder of Mary and it was not possible to get it out. There it is still today. (You have to look closely, but then you see the great ax with slightly curved stem.) But that's not enough. A few years later the Madonna was lost in the gamble by a gegenreformierten (counter-reformed) Sternberg. The new owner, the Polish Baron Turnoffsky gave she in 1607 the Franciscan monastery. Exactly 100 years later, she got her current stand on the high altar.
The stone structure between altar and the statue of the Madonna also contains a crucifix, which dates from the beginning of the 17th Century. The wooden statues left and right represent the Saints Jerome respectively Francis and are typical examples of the so-called Franciscan carving school. It operated 1690-1730 and was run by lay brothers. The overall concept for the high altar dates back to the Jesuit Andrea dal Pozzo.
A special attraction is the organ by Hans Wöckherl that was already built in 1642 and today is the oldest organ in Vienna. It is, however, disappeared from the visible church, because it is behind the high altar and is only shown every Friday between 15.00 und 15.30 clock. In addition, one demans for that six euro entry...
The single-nave church has to both sides side chapels, of them I want to show two.
On the left we see the Magdalene Chapel, which was consecrated already in 1614 for the first time. 1644 and 1722, however, followed Neustiftungen (new foundings). The stucco decoration stems from 1644. The paintings in the vault are much more recent, from 1893. The altarpiece depicts the grieving Mary Magdalene under the Cross. It was created in 1725 by Carlo Innocenzo Carlone. The image above shows Veronica's handkerchief with the face of Christ. It was painted by Wolfram Koeberl and in 1974 installed. The statues beside the altar represent the Virgin Mary and John the Baptist. The two above chapels are provided with food grid, so that one could give Communion here.
An Immaculata chapel (pictured above right) is there since the existence of the church, but this was rebuilt in 1722. Previously, since 1642, there was a Michael altar here. From this period dates still the stucco decor on the ceiling. The altarpiece is by Johann Georg Schmidt, who painted it in 1721. The lateral statues depict the Saint Joachim and the mother of Mary.
Also the Capistrano Chapel, which was founded in 1723, is worth mentioning. The lateral stucco decor shows on the left side (picture) the glorification of St. John Capistrano, who, as I said, was the first Franciscan in Vienna. Right you can see him as a standard-bearer of Christian doctrine in the wars against the Turks. Both stucco images date from the time of the foundation. The altarpiece by Franz Xaver Wagenschön originated in 1761 and shows Capistrano in a scene from 1451, in Brescia when he healed a possessed man.
In the picture we see also the statue of Saint George, as he is killing the (admittedly small) dragon.
On the other side of the chapel is the Holy Florian, while Clara and Theresa stand next to the altar. Behind the altar there is a reliquary in glass from about 1720, in which we see a wax image of the Holy Hilaria. The relic shall be imbedded in the wax. Hilaria is rather unknown, but she was a martyr who was converted by Bishop Narcissus. She died in the year 304 in Augsburg, at the behest of the governor Gaius, because she did not want to renounce the Christian faith. About the nature of death, there are different opinions.
In the church there is a plaque that claims that she was burned at the grave of her daughter, while the Holy Encyclopedia states that she was enclosed in her house and this was then set on fire.
In the chapel opposite, the Chapel of the Good Shepherd, there is also a glass coffin with a relic. This is the skeleton of the Felix Puer wearing the uniform of a Roman Centurion.
As a counterpart to the pulpit, this just opposite, you will find the monument of Johann Nepomuk. We see how he flows on the water of the Vltava river after he was thrown in Prague there. He actually was called "John from Nepomuk" in Czech "ne Pomuk". The wife of Emperor Wenceslas IV is said to have chosen him as confessor. The Emperor wanted to know then what she had confessed, but Johann Nepomuk did not betray the seal of confession and was therefore thrown into the water. The Empress had then an appearance of five stars.
(We see she also in the water of the monument.) These stars indicated were one could find the body. So much for the legend.
The fact is that Johann Nepomuk was tortured by the king and thrown into the Vltava. The activating moment was a dispute over a new monastery between the emperor and the archbishop of Prague, in which John Nepomuk was trampled underfoot ...
The pulpit was built in 1726 and was executed by the Franciscan carving school. At the parapet there are wooden reliefs of Matthew, Mark and Luke. The relief of the fourth evangelist, John, is attached to the pulpit door. At the parapet you further can see statues of Capistrano and Bonaventura, while on the sounding board are sitting Anthony of Padua and Berhardin of Siena. At the top stands the freeze image of Francis of Assisi.
The pews were 1727 - 1729 by brother Johann Gottfried Hartmann built and carved.
