History of the Museum
Scientific research and gathering in Austria found relatively late understanding and promotion. Indeed contained the chambers of art and curiosities of the Habsburgs also natural produce but for a long time they have been regarded as mere oddities, not as objects of scientific importance. It was not until Emperor Franz I. (Francis Stephen of Lorraine, 1745-1765), the husband of Maria Theresia, founded in 1748 with the purchase of the famous collection of Johann Baillous a private Naturalienkabinett. It was put up in accordance to Baillous' own scientific system in the Hofburg and was initially managed by this self.
The main emphasis was put on minerals and fossils as well as snail and mussel shells and corals. Plants and animals with soft parts were then (mainly because of the preparation problems) yet little appreciated as collector's items. They were held alive in botanical gardens and menageries.
After the death of Francis I the collection in which the Emperor had invested large sums of money was transferred into state ownership, reorganized and made twice a week accessible to the public. 1776 appointed Maria Theresa, particularly dear to her being mainly the earth sciences as a basis for mining and industry, the excellent mineralogist and montanist Ignaz von Born to Vienna and entrusted him with the systematic expansion of the collection. Born was a leader of the Enlightenment and Freemasonry, he might even have given the model for Sarastro in Mozart's "Magic Flute". With him for "Austria", definitely, dawned the scientific-technological age. The Naturalienkabinett (a cabinet of curiosities) then became a center of mineralogical research in Europe.
The nature-loving Emperor Franz II (I, 1792-1835) expanded the natural history collection for a private animal cabinet. The foundation for this were the trophies of the Habsburgs, which date back to Emperor Maximilian II (1564-1576), as well as the famous collection of prepared native vertebrates and insects of the falconer Joseph Natterer. After several reclassifications followed in 1807 the foundation of a separate plants cabinet. The Emperor lay with the gift of his Privatherbars (private plant collection) the foundation.
The exhibition practice around 1800 was marked by an often curious juxtaposition of little scientific and very progressive tendencies. The stuffed animals were shown in artificial landscape dioramas, ie already in ecological context. Alongside, however, stood also Stopfpräparate (stuffed compounds) of people of non-native breeds such as the "high princely Moor' Angelo Soliman, who came to literary fame.
The eminent scholar and organizer Carl Schreibers who from 1806 until 1851 headed the Natural History Collection, provided for key reforms in all areas. He extented all departments to major research centers and was supported not only by the museum officials, but also by a number of often highly skilled, unpaid volunteers.
On the occasion of the marriage of his daughter Leopoldina with the Brazilian crown prince Dom Pedro in 1817 sent Emperor Franz also well-known researchers to South America. Through their collecting activities, the growth of the museum's experienced a glorious climax. So stayed the zoologist Johann Natterer for 18 years in South America and established an in an exemplary manner documented collection of scientific and ethnographic objects for Vienna. This contributed significantly to the worldwide reputation of the museum, but also led to a decades-long lack of space.
With various, not always felicitous chosen emergency solutions on tried in vain to handle space problems sussesfully. During the revolutionary turmoil of 1848, the Imperial Palace was bombarded by imperial troops and partially set on fire. A part of the collection was destroyed, tragically, also many irreplaceable objects from the Brazilian material.
In the years after the Revolution, the collection was converted into an independent zoological, botanical and mineralogical Hofkabinett (Court cabinet). These cabinets with their extremely rich stocks offered not only ideal possibilities to explore, they contributed to the establishment of scientific disciplines in the university sector in 1870 also considerably to the formation of young scientists. The collections have been enhanced through exchange and purchases, by the collecting activities of the researchers as well as legacies, especially of scientifically inclined travelers, constantly . In addition, the by the Imperial Court generously funded cooperation with the Austrian navy became very important: Especially the circumnavigation of the world of the frigate "Novara" (1857-1859), which was attended by numerous excellent naturalist, gave an exceedingly rich collection of new material to the museum. The scientific word off should take decades.
This scientific Poiniergeist (pioneering spirit), reflecting the general belief in progress in the second half of the 18th Century, was facing the more and more oppressive need of space. Although Emperor Franz Joseph had already in 1857 the razing of the fortification lines around the city center ordered. On the cleared area should along a boulevard alongside other representative public buildings also new museums emerge. Up to the completion of this project, however, it was still a long way to go.
The liberal bourgeoisie then undergoing a steep political and economic upswing was inclined to replace the old cabinets through research and education centers for broad strata of the population and thus make its own cultural advancement clearly visible. But the neo-absolutist empire of the gradually decaying Habsburg monarchy, too, wanted erect itself a modern, artistically accomplished monument: A monumental Imperial Forum following the ancient example was planned, that should be reaching from the Imperial Palace to the royal stables. Realized of it was only a torso: the New Castle and Maria Theresa Square with Museum of Art History and Museum of Natural History.
The internal organization of the new 'Imperial and Royal Natural History Court Museum", which on 10 August was officially opened in 1889, goes back to the great geologist, New Zealand researcher and first director of the museum, Ferdinand von Hochstetter, and has been preserved largely in its clear systematic today. However, the proliferation of resources and new demands on the research and display collection activities required new spatial and structural solutions. Thus, an underground storage was created in 1990, which extends under the building on four levels and in fully air-conditioned rooms keeps a portion of the collection material. Due to the roof extension (1991 to 1995) further collection, but also numerous new working rooms were gained.
The research, the preservation and completing of the major scientific collections and the presentation of selected natural objects to this day have not lost any of their topicalities. In a time of increasingly rapid destruction of our environment, they are more important than ever. Just as the white patches have become smaller on the map, penetrates the science into ever smaller areas. Long scanning electron microscope and X-ray equipment have replaced hand magnifier. In the permanent exhibition area visitors also have access to advanced optical devices, especially in "Microcosmos" ( Hall 21). The preservation of collection, too, follows modern conservation knowledge.
Over a century ago, the Museum hace been created for the systematic presentation - the diversity of nature sorted strung together, the palace-like building, the interplay of means and objects as well as the historic atmosphere giving it a distinctive character.
Even with the redesign of many exhibition halls systematic classification was basically retained to make the visitors aware of the immense diversity of life. However, the presentation is successively adapted to the museological requirements and needs of the 21st century. Also presented are interesting topics and new contents in a contemporary didactic form.

The McGee group is going to the ends of the earth to understand how precipitation patterns respond to climate change. Recognizing that past changes provide unique opportunities to test our understanding of the climate system, the group is building high-resolution records of past precipitation changes in sensitive regions around the world using natural precipitation archives such as lake deposits and stalagmites. In the past two years this work has taken the group to shorelines preserving records of large ancient lakes in the deserts of the western U.S. and subtropical South America, to caves in the Yucatan peninsula and deep inside islands in Vietnam's Ha Long Bay, and onto a drill rig sampling deeply buried lake sediments in the high tropical Andes.

« Understanding » is the third segue in the series that I have written as a means of combining earlier compositions into a conceptual piece of nearly one hour in duration.
Each of the miniature musical junctions emphasizes a particular lesson that was learned over the course of a demanding quest, proving essential to the success of the endeavour. In the case of « Understanding, » the acquired knowledge concerns what I refer to as the redirection principle, which is also explored in more depth in « Juggernaut, » and « On the Meaning of Sin, » an upcoming essay.
The title of the sections and of the entire assemblage will be revealed once the whole work is finished. Those of you familiar with the repertoire of Poligraf will possibly recognize some of the themes that are revisited in each of the transitions, and will thus perhaps be able to guess the whole, along with the respective roles of each of the segues.
Again this is an all instrumental demo. The complementary verses follow :
and here i go again
a man on a mission
to achieve by mere pen
identification
of all errors and then
their elimination
so all can hear the wren
sing of liberation
in hindsight i recall
throughout my history
icons and figurines
of the virgin mary
gradually fading
out of reality
and how my bad habits
down to sleep had laid me
remove those obstacles
o eastern deity
the knight of pentacles
i vow to embody
persistent truth seeker
devoted to study
the implicate order
and synchronicity
up the tree of knowledge
hybrid trajectory
immeasurable mileage
towards my destiny
occasional slippage
reckless apostasy
reformative passage
humbling recovery
punished by my anger
selfish hamartia
cruel doppelganger
acts in absentia
inveterate scorner
chronic paranoia
in the naughty corner
constant metanoia
then the meaning of sin
prompted the deduction
hinted the principle
revealed course-correction
traditional wisdom
incomplete depiction
the alternative you
asserts redirection
setback or deterrent
helpful mechanism
experience abhorrent
same automatism
progress in merriment
transcends dogmatism
your own experiment
doesn't need an ism
error is the killer
suppressing the corrupt
thanks to this redeemer
sin will no more irrupt
don't let consequences
inspiration disrupt
resume your advancement
while evil goes bankrupt
of the deadly seven
the root is obvious
whether proud or lustful
glutton avaricious
indolent or wrathful
or merely envious
the all-important self
disregards the gracious
everything comes from mind
for it is in the lead
none can escape the bind
that follows every deed
leave the poisons behind
ire folly and greed
know the ones who are kind
in happiness succeed
to elude the dust cloud
simply uphold the five
intoxications shroud
decoherences prive
resist the disallowed
towards your goal do strive
stay true to what you've vowed
and you will find you thrive
predestined for freewill
construct your adventure
swarms intuit the truth
living architecture
galactic overmind
superconscious structure
error-free dynamic
creating the future

move away from fear and into love...
moving into love requires opening the heart...
opening the heart can make one fearful, vulnerable...
realize that while it is your path to walk, others walk beside you...
that you are not alone...
as the fear washes over you, shed your tears, then let it pass...
turn about, bid it farewell
and embrace the understanding that remains...
'peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.'

Located in Niceville, FL--just across the bridge from Destin and a short drive from Eglin Air Force Base, CrossFit Emerald Coast is not your ordinary gym. We don't have acres of shiny isolation exercise equipment, thousands of dollars worth of treadmills and elliptical machines (complete with their LCD screens or magazine racks), wall to wall mirrors, or a smoothie bar.
What we do offer is the most effective workout program possible! We are serious about real fitness. Our equipment is simple, extremely functional, and has application to daily life regardless of your occupation. Furthermore, our workouts typically last less than 25 minutes and are exceedingly more effective than spending hours doing isolation movements or trudging away on a treadmill. In fact, you will typically warm up, workout, cool down, and be on your way in less than 60 minutes! In as few as 2 sessions per week, you will quickly observe significant and quantifiable results in your fitness levels--even if you thought you were in 'good shape' when you started!
At CrossFit Emerald Coast, you will be trained by a certified personal trainer in either private sessions or in a small group during our regularly scheduled classes. No longer do you need to worry about planning your workout--we assign the WOD (Workout of the Day) to you when you arrive and help you perform it safely and effectively.
We understand you may feel intimidated about training with us--don't worry! Even though the WOD may look difficult or nearly impossible to the mere mortal, every workout is scalable to your abilities. We all have a starting place. In fact, it is not uncommon to have a 16 year old football player, a 26 year old service member, a 36 year old accountant, and a 67 year-old retiree in a class doing the exact same workout together! If you have any questions or concerns, our trainers are very experience in helping you properly and safely scale your workout. We promise those of you saying, "I could never do that!" will soon be saying, "I can't believe I just did that!" We see it all the time!
CrossFit training is hard--we won't water it down. You will be physically and mentally challenged each and every time you step through the door. However, your biggest obstacle is not our WOD--it is your motivation. The most difficult step is the first one. All you need to do is pay us a visit and we'll take it from there! True fitness requires more than a new gym membership--it is a change in lifestyle.
CrossFit will change the way you approach fitness for the rest of your life. We are ready to help you get started. Are you?

In your opinion, what could Facebook do to help you understand reports we receive about your content?
I am a photoblogger journalist I am not into porn but I shoot reality rituals as I shoot all faith I have 285000 images at Flickr .com I think people there being photographers are more mature and understanding here at Facebook people add you to report you bully you if they dont like your reportage religion or faith .. I had deactivated my Facebook account twice because of this if this persists I will delete my account completely .. honestly I hate posting pictures at Facebook..
I can understand this firoze bhai .
do you think its a conspiracy against your hobby ?
Firoze Shakir No it is Yazidiyat in the guise ..of a person of my own faith .. I am not here to shoot as per any persons like dislike but I will not ridicule or make fun of what one shoots .. I guess honestly I am in all humility as an amateur hobbyist photographer incapable of shooting what others shoot .. I dont like posting my Shia images as they are graphic .. but the world has to know why we are persecuted shot murdered killed because we believe in the progeny of the Holy Prophet ,.. and the genocide at Karbala that could have been avoided but Terrorism exists in Islam.. it has always been there during the time of Imam Ali and Imam Hussain even now .. All I know iI dont glorify my faith , proselytize ..I shoot Christinaity Hinduism Shiasm Sufism.. Paganism... does not make me less human than a pagan..
Firoze Shakir I moderate my stuff ,, I have had problems at Flickr too my pictures are marked Safe ,.. yet Moharam is restricted and one has to be a member to see it and the Naga Sadhus at the Maha Kumbh I shot moderated because of frontal nudity ..I removed my transgender pictures 20000 because their hardship struggle was reduced to titillation voyeurism ..It is not easy shooting pictures holding or possessing a camera does not make one a photographer .. take care ..I dont want to discuss this anymore silence is the best medicine I deleted my pictures the moment I was informed that it was reported ,, I follow Facebook terms guidelines .. as I follow Flickr guidelines ...
Thank you All.. I hold nothing against anyone ,,the picture reported was a child with bleeding clothes ..but i think more than my harmless picture it was the words .. that must have hit him in the guts,,,

Curtains looked out: He left. And of course he left not because he is a loser. He left because it was time to go home. He is brave, consistent, patient and kindhearted.
Spider Plant: Who left?
Curtains: Although he left probably around 4.36pm, and not 9.36am when our picture was taken. He left after the cook woke him by saying hello to him, and fed him, third time for today.
Spider Plant: Who slept? Anyone we know?
Walkman: Surely not the cook's ex-neighbor from B Street.
Wallet: Agree. Things in the real world hardly move.
Trees outside: Disagree! We move a lot but luckily not moving anywhere today! It's really windy out here!
Wallet: Oops. Sorry. What I meant is, progress that the cook hopes to see is not progressing, other than the work the cook does during weekdays which is not related to cooking. There are some progress to understanding of something that the cook did not write, while the cook stepped through the code by not going anywhere.
Spider Plant: So who did the cook say hello to?
Wall: My the other side told me it's B&W cat. He slept for nearly 3hrs.
Cat in the Laptop: Wasn't me. Just saying the famous phrase that Mr. Cannot Be Vam pire spoke long time ago.
Spider Plant: Long time ago. It's been quite a long time since we last gathered and discussed about matters. What happened in the real world?
Laptop: Georgya finished counting then did another recount by hand, and certified that it is really B won Georgya.
Orange #1: This not our election is the most ridiculous election that the cook has even seen.
Orange #2: The loser who always say others are losers, now could not face the reality that he is THAT world's biggest loser.
Orange #3: The most pathetic loser ever who would do anything without facts but lies to make him not lose, and as long as he wins even though he knows that he actually lost, he does not mind whatever it takes as long as he could appear as the winner.
Stopped watch: And we thought we could stop watching his nonsense when B was projected as the winner on 8 Nov! And what day is today?
Cat in the laptop: 21 Nov. Tomorrow is not the day when the cook will visit me.
Laptop: Tomorrow is not the day when ex-neighbor from B street will visit the cook too.
Wall: Tomorrow is not the day that the spider will start climbing down.
Spider Plant: Spider?
Wallet: Not the spiders that we could often find in this house. The cook is not bothered by them. Although the cook is also not bothered by the other spider since the cook isn't interested at looking at other walls,
Wall: Because I'm good looking enough?
Wallet: No comment. But it's when what was said by the leaders bothered the cook. When the change not the curtain man JK and his party denied there were spiders high up years ago, it made the cook roll eyes
Second time mee-goreng: And fumed, but not the way we are fuming.
Wallet: Correct. Now the spiders have climbed even higher location.
Curtains: What did the current leader JA say? Thought she is kindhearted?
Wallet: She could be kindhearted - it's good that she is kindhearted during crisis. But when you truly want to fix the problems (not the symptoms) faced by the people where problems were also created by people - you cannot please everyone. The cook rather that JA choose the fairer way - then she will bring in capital gains tax - even if this is not going to bring down the spider, it makes the tax system fairer. The govt can get more money and build more state houses to increase the supply!
Cook not in this picture: Somehow strangely she has not seem to acknowledge that she needs to bring the spider down in a clear and simple statement. Maybe whenever I saw her providing an answer, she just didn't happen to provide an answer that I was expecting to hear. She only said the spider cannot keep climbing like the rate it is climbing (during a debate). Or, we are increasing minimum wage (when asked during a TV show) - that really made me laugh. Or the recent answer: that they are looking at helping first home buyers with the deposit using some scheme - though those are limited to houses not more than 500K (region depending) - how many of those houses are available? It is not kindhearted to help first home buyers getting a big debt for a house that is overvalued due to market demand.
