WH 2 Napoleon 3:
Congress of Vienna
, Concert of Europe, and the fate of Bourbon Restorationism in France
Excerpts from the French Constitutional Charter of June 4, 1814
by the grace of God
, King of France and Navarre, to all those to whom these presents come, greeting.
Divine Providence, in recalling us to our estates after a long absence, has laid upon us great obligations. Peace was the first need of our subjects: we have employed ourselves thereto without relaxation; and that peace, so necessary for France, as well as for the remainder of Europe, is signed. A constitutional charter was called for by the actual condition of the kingdom; we promised it, and we now publish it. We have taken into consideration that, although all authority in France resides in the person of the king, our predecessors have not hesitated to alter the exercise thereof in accordance with the change of the times: that it was in this manner that the communes owed their emancipation to Louis, the Fat, the confirmation and extension of their rights to Saint Louis and Philip the Fair; that the judicial system was established and developed by the laws of Louis XI, Henry II and Charles IX;
and finally
, that Louis XIV regulated almost all parts of the public administration by various ordinances whose wisdom nothing has yet surpassed.
We are bound, by the example of the kings, our predecessors, to estimate the effects of the ever increasing progress of enlightenment, the new relations which these advances have introduced into society, the direction impressed upon opinions during the past half century, and the significant alterations which have resulted therefrom: we have recognized that the wish of our subjects for a constitutional charter was the expression of a real need; but, in yielding to this wish, we have taken every precaution that this charter should be worthy of us and of the people over whom we are proud to rule. Sagacious men taken from the highest body of the state met with commissioners of our council to labor upon this important work.
While we have recognized that a free and monarchical constitution was necessary to meet the expectation of enlightened Europe, We have also been constrained to remember that our first duty towards our subjects was to preserve, in their own interest, the rights and prerogatives of our crown. We have hoped that, taught by experience, they may be convinced that only the supreme authority can give to institutions which it establishes the strength, permanence, and majesty with which it is itself invested; that thus, when the wisdom of the king freely coincides with the wish of the people, a constitutional charter can be of long duration; but that, when violence wrests concessions from the
feebleness of the government
, public liberty is not less in danger than the throne itself. In a word, we have sought the principles of the constitutional charter in the French character and in the enduring examples of past ages. Thus, we have seen, in the renewal of the peerage, an institution truly national and one which must bind all the recollections with all the hopes, in bringing together former and present times.
We have replaced by the Chamber of Deputies those former assemblies of the fields of March and May, and those chambers of the Third Estate, which so often gave at the same time proof of zeal for the interests of the people and of fidelity and respect for the authority of the king. In thus attempting to renew the chain of the times, which disastrous errors have broken, we have banished from our recollection, as we could wish it were possible to blot out from history, all the evils which have afflicted the fatherland during our absence. Happy to find ourselves once more in the bosom of our great family, we have felt that we could respond to the love of which we have received so many testimonials, only by pronouncing words of peace and consolation. The dearest wish of our heart is that all Frenchmen should live as brothers, and that no bitter recollection should ever disturb the security that must follow the solemn act which we grant them to-day.
Assured of our intentions, and strengthened by our conscience, we pledge ourselves, in the presence of the assembly which hears us, to be faithful to this constitutional charter, reserving to ourselves to swear to maintain it with a new solemnity, before the altars of Him who weighs in the same balance kings and nations.
these reasons
We have voluntarily, and by the free exercise of our royal authority, accorded and do accord,
grant and concede to our subjects,
as well for us as for our successors forever, the constitutional charter which follows:
Public Law of the French
Frenchmen are equal before the law, whatever may be their titles and ranks.
They contribute without distinction, in proportion to their fortunes, towards the expenses of the state.
They are all equally admissible to civil and military employments.
Their personal liberty is likewise guaranteed; no one can be prosecuted nor arrested save in the cases provided by law and in the form which it prescribes.
Every one may profess his religion with equal freedom, and shall obtain for his worship the same protection.
Nevertheless, the catholic, apostolic and Roman religion is the religion of the state.
The ministers of the catholic, apostolic and Roman religion and those of the other Christian sects alone receive stipends from the royal treasury.
Frenchmen have the right to publish and to have printed their opinions, while conforming with the laws, which are necessary to restrain abuses of that liberty.
All property is inviolable, without any exception for that which is called national, the law making no distinction between them.
The state can require the sacrifice of a property on account of a legally established public interest, but with a previous indemnity.
All investigations of opinions and votes given prior to the restoration are forbidden. The same oblivion is required from the tribunals and from citizens.
The conscription is abolished. The method of recruiting for the army and navy is determined by a law.
Form of the Government of the King
The person of the king is inviolable and sacred.
His ministers are responsible
. To the king alone belongs the executive power.
The king is the supreme head of the state, commands the land and sea forces, declares war, makes treaties of peace, alliance and commerce, appoints to all places of public administration, and makes the necessary regulations and ordinances for the execution of the laws and the security of the state.
The legislative power is exercised collectively by the king,
the Chamber of Peers
, and the
Chamber of the Deputies
of the departments.
The king proposes the laws.
The proposition for a law is sent, at the pleasure of the king, to the Chamber of Peers or to that of the Deputies, except a law for the imposition of taxes, which must be sent first to the Chamber of Deputies.
Every law shall be freely discussed and voted by the majority of each of the two chambers.
The chambers have the power to petition the king to propose a law upon any subject whatsoever and to indicate what seems suitable for the law to contain.
This request can be made by either of the two chambers, but only after having been discussed in secret committee; it shall be sent to the other chamber by that which shall have proposed it, only after an interval of ten days.
If the proposal is adopted by the other chamber, it shall be laid before the king;
if it is rejected
, it cannot be presented again in the same session.
The king alone sanctions and promulgates the laws.
The civil list is fixed, for the entire duration of the reign, by the first legislature assembled after the accession of the king.
The old nobility resume their titles. The new retain theirs. The king makes nobles at will, but he grants to them only ranks and honors, without any exemption from the burdens and duties of society.
All justice emanates from the king. It is administered in his name by judges whom he appoints and whom he invests.
The judges appointed by the king are irremovable.
The penalty of confiscation of property is abolished and cannot be re-established.
Napoleon had been DEFEATED and permanently REMOVED as a threat to Europe by his exile to the island of St. Helena. There is no question that, not only had the geopolitical map of Europe been reshaped, but also, since 1789, the principle of DIVINE RIGHT MONARCHY whereby especially the BOURBONS had ruled France had received a DEVASTATING blow. The question now was whether it was possible to
turn back the clock
and RESTORE divine right rule as though neither the FRENCH REVOLUTION nor the NAPOLEONIC RULE had ever occurred. Further, would it be possible to RESHAPE the boundaries of the countries within Europe to GUARD against the further spread of revolutionary ideas (e.g., sovereignty resides with the people) and the possibility of the resurgence of French military power.
These issues would be resolved at the 1815 CONGRESS OF VIENNA, hosted by Klemens von Metternich (1773-1859), Austria's FOREIGN MINISTER, who set the agenda as the RESTORATION of the OLD ORDER (i.e.,
legitimate divine-right monarchy supported by the aristocracy with the mandate of the Catholic Church
). Also present were the powerful Czar ALEXANDER I of Russia whose troops had pursued Napoleon back into FRANCE and was looking to expand Russian territory into CENTRAL EUROPE, particularly POLAND—he was LESS concerned about the issue of IMPERIAL legitimacy than Metternich; The Prussian ruler FREDERICK WILHELM II who wanted the wealthy province of SAXONY (Napoleon's field headquarters during the Wars of Liberation) annexed to Prussia and had gained support in his campaign against Napoleon by FALSELY representing himself as desiring to head a UNIFIED GERMAN STATE; Britain's LORD CASTLEREAGH, who was less concerned with the issue of DIVINE RIGHT LEGITIMACY than the BALANCE OF POWER within Europe to control subsequent French aggression and prevent further attempts to establish French HEGEMONY on the continent, and the chameleon TALLEYRAND from France, sent by the new Bourbon King LOUIS XVIII with instructions to maneuver for LENIENT terms for France to give the restored Bourbons a chance to succeed.
Metternich had been Austria's FOREIGN MINISTER since 1809 and had been it principle CONTACT with the Napoleonic regime. His principle agenda was the restoration of the OLD ORDER LEGITIMATE Diviner Right MONARCHY in place of the ILLIGITIMATE 1789-1799 revolutionary regime and the 1799-1815 rule of Napoleon along with the influence of Europe's aristocracy,
the army
, and the church. It would be among Europe's last attempts to halt the progress into what we now know as the MODERN WORLD. Thus was born the idea of the CONCERT OF EUROPE: the vigilant alliance of the conservative restored
Old Guard Divine Right Monarchies
who would work together to halt the spread of Revolutionary ideas (e.g.,
sovereignty lies with the people
) wherever they might rear their ugly head on the European continent.
Talleyrand's view carried the day: France was treated LEINENTLY for, he convinced the Congress, to do otherwise would SABATOGE Metternich's goal by failing to give the newly restored BOURBON monarchy a chance. Prussia did NOT get Saxony since Metternich was NOT going to allow this incredibly rich territory to fall under the domain of his rival Hohenzollern GERMAN state: instead it received generous territories along the RHINE RIVER which bordered France.
Thus, unlike the Napoleonic Wars which originally didn't threaten Prussia's borders subsequently leading to Prussia's LATE entry into these conflicts, now Prussia's immediate involvement should French aggression once again threaten Europe was assured. Prussia also got the RUHR valley but yet came away from the Congress of Vienna disappointed; this despite unknowingly having acquired what would soon become the industrial heartland of Europe!
The HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE, dismantled by Napoleon in 1806, likewise forever vanished from the map of Europe: the HOHENZOLLERNS would be emperors no more. Its replacement was a loose CONFEDERATION of GERMAN states. At the Congress of Vienna, the move towards a unified Germany was still SUBORDINATE to ancient DYNASTIC rivalries, goals and politics; NATIONALISM was still too closely associated with Napoleon and the concept of FRENCH MILITARISM to become a guiding paradigm for nation building in the rest of Europe. The HABSBURGS were given the permanent PRESIDENCY of this confederation. A UNIFIED Germany would have to wait!
The central issue for Metternich's Congress was insuring the success of RESTORATIONISM in France. The younger BROTHER of Louis XVI had in fact come to power in France in 1814 when Napoleon abdicated to ELBA; he had spent the years of the Revolution, Napoleonic wars, and subsequent European wars of LIBERATION in England. In deference to the son of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI who had died in PRISON in 1795, he called himself LOUIS XVIII. His Charter of 1814 would serve as the basis for a French CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY, thus signifying Louis XVIII's realization that a full return to monarchy by Divine Right would be IMPOSSIBLE and that some COMPROMISE with the ideals established by the revolution would be absolutely necessary if the BOURBON RESTORATION hoped for any sort of success.
The Charter itself is a fascinating document (
see handout caption!
). Note first and foremost that it isn't even called a CONSTITUTION and no where states that sovereignty resides with the PEOPLE. Instead, note the opening line, which states that
Louis is king by the grace of God
—again, his MANDATE to rule is NOT determined by POPULAR CONSENT but rather by God, and thus the principle of divine right monarchy is subtly INVOKED. The King is also viewed
to be INVIOLABLE and SACRED
, raising once again the specter of having been specially chosen by God to rule France as opposed to having royal authority arise, as it should, from popular consent in a CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY with, in the case of this charter, the Chamber of PEERS and the Chamber of DEPUTIES being those legislative bodies whose authority COUNTERBALANCED that of the King. The specific language of the Charter likewise implies that it is essentially a GIFT from the KING to his SUJECTS
We have voluntarily, and by the free exercise of our royal authority, accorded and do accord,
grant and concede to our subjects,
as well for us as for our successors forever, the constitutional charter)
thus negating the Enlightenment notion that such an arrangement was a
natural right of the people
with the Charter reflecting their sovereignty.
A careful reading of the Charter shows that it guaranteed CIVIL LIBERTIES, freedom of RELIGION and the PRESS, it did not resurrect the old GUILD system with its familial limitations but instead guaranteed careers open to TALENT, and it recognized the property settlements of the Revolution, thus guaranteeing that land acquired as a consequence of the Revolution by the PEASANTS would not be returned either to the ARISTOCRACY or the CHURCH. It also extended AMNESTY to all those who in one way or another had served the Napoleonic REGIME.
An AMBIGUOUS point relates to the responsibility of the MINISTERS:
The person of the king is inviolable and sacred. His ministers are responsible
The question is: TO WHOM? To the LEGISLATURE? To the KING? To the PEOPLE? This is not specified! Election to this BICAMERAL legislature (the House of PEERS and the House of DEPUTIES) was based on SUFFRAGE that was extremely RESTRICTED (around 90,000 of the total French population of about 25,000,000) and based not on WEALTH but rather the actual holding of PROPERTY. This basically placed voting power back into the hands of the LANDED ARISTOCRACY and turned back the clock on the notion of UNIVERSAL suffrage which remained far too closely associated with both REVOLUTIONARY and NAPOLEONIC ideals.
The GRADUAL return to pre-Revolutionary culture continued when, in 1822, CRITICISM of the concept of
right monarchy
was made punishable by DEATH. This rankled feathers considerably, and things would WORSEN greatly when, in 1824, Louis XVII DIED and was replaced by his brother, the uncompromising, hard-core divine right RESTORATIONIST Charles X who thus viewed the Charter of 1814 with nothing but CONTEMPT. And so, in 1825 he began by introducing an INDEMNITY BILL that would financially compensate aristocrats for property that had been seized from them during the Revolution. This was, of course, very POPULAR with the aristocrats but not so popular with everyone else since it placed an enormous BURDEN on the French treasury (
remember what happened the last time this took place
This move, which ultimately proved to be a MISTAKE by Charles. It was followed by an equally grievous error, which was the DISBANDING of the bourgeoisie NATIONAL GUARD. Besides being a career path for the French middle class, membership on the National Guard was a clear way to demonstrate one's commitment to REPUBLICAN IDEALS, and so its destruction sent another clear signal that Charles' favored class was the ARISTOCRACY, just as had been the case with French Kings prior to 1789; the strength of this signal to the French Middle Class increased also as a consequence of his REFUSAL to recognize the very CHARTER on which his government was based!
For Charles X and for FRANCE, the crisis would come to a head in 1830 as his party suffered a terrible defeat at the POLLS despite the highly selective ELECTORATE. His response was to issue a series of DECREES which (a) suspended the freedom of the PRESS; (b) dissolved the CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES; and (C) raising the property qualifications (i.e., LAND not WEALTH) required for voting in future elections. The PROTESTS that were aimed only at getting the MINISTER who had framed these decrees DISMISSED, began on July 28, 1830 in Paris, first among the printers and typesetters of the BANNED newspapers, but this strike generated much sympathy and quickly spread to other labor groups as well.
Reminiscent of the days of the 1789 Revolution, BARRICADES went up across the narrow streets of Paris,
violence spread rapidly
, and Charles X called upon his troops to quell the uprising but, despite KILLING several hundred of the protestors, were unable to do so, and so the King was forced to ABDICATE. And so, the revolt that had originally ESPOUSED only modest goals ended up toppling the REGIME of Charles X!
This entire saga—from the beginning of the rebellion to the abdication of the King--took a mere THREE DAYS, and so are known as
The Three Glorious Days
The Revolution of 1830
. However, REPUBLICANISM was still so FEARED that the "liberators" still preferred some form of CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY to lead France, and now that the BOURBON dynasty was permanently out of the picture the question was
to whom shall France turn as its new King who will, as the fundamental condition of accepting the crown, acknowledge that his sovereignty derives from the people?
This person ended up being LOUIS PHILIPPE, the Duke of Orleans, one of the cousins of Charles X. The Marquis de LAFAYETTE (the same Lafayette who had helped the Americans during the American Revolution and who became the head of the RESTORED French National Guard and the PROVISIONAL government) issued an invitation to the Duke to come to Paris and accept the crown. Louis entered Paris wearing the French TRICOLOR flag (during the Restoration the flag had REVERTED to the WHITE of the BOURBONS) and was offered the crown by the PEOPLE through the CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES as the people's representatives. He ruled as LOUIS PHILIPPE (not as Louis XVIIII), the King of the French People, and preferred to be known as THE CITIZEN KING. Restoration had indeed succeeded, but rather as a moderate CONSTITUTIONAL, as opposed to a DIVINE RIGHT, monarchy.

Skip to 0 minutes and 6 seconds CHIE ADACHI: What opportunities does social learning offer for people and their development? What do we learn through conversations with others? Here's what Jorge and Mei think.
Skip to 0 minutes and 20 seconds JORGE: My passion is service and working with people. So my career as a math teacher was perfect for me. But now I am retired. I want to support my community by volunteering at a local retirement home. I just joined a FutureLearn course to learn more about caring for older people, which I'm enjoying very much. I especially like that I can learn, share, and discuss my ideas with others from all over the world. Just the other day, I had a very interesting conversation with a lady from India about the different cultural challenges we face in caring for older people.
Skip to 1 minute and 5 seconds MEI: I really like using WeChat to chat with my friends, send messages, share videos, and find people to meet with. It's good, too, for working on group assignments with my classmates. I also use internet to buy things and watch videos to improve my English. Sometimes, I watch tutorials. But I also love to watch Aussie TV shows and learn new words, which I hope will help get me into an Australian university next year. So really, learning online through anything free and accessible is important for me.
Getting social with learning
Some of our most powerful learning happens through interactions with others. This is equally true for how we learn online.
Early on in this course, we talked about Deakin's philosophy of online learning and the importance of learning with, from and through conversation with others.
We also met online learners Mei and Jorge who are good examples of social learners when it comes to illustrating the role that the social plays in digital learning.
The role of 'social' in learning
According to anthropologist Karen Stephenson:
Experience has long been considered the best teacher of knowledge. Since we cannot experience everything, other people's experiences, and hence other people, become the surrogate for knowledge. 'I store my knowledge in my friends' is an axiom for collecting knowledge through collecting people. (1998, para. 2)
In the last few steps, we've seen how digital technologies provide numerous opportunities for more-connected, networked and mobile learning.
Likewise, as technology advances, digital tools are continually evolving to create more functions and opportunities for social interactions online.
Blurring boundaries
Today, social media is a powerful tool not only to connect, communicate and socialise with others through private networks, but also to collaborate and make an impact professionally through public digital platforms (Professor Brian Cox's use of Twitter to communicate about science in an engaging and accessible way is one such example).
Just as digital platforms, such as those provided by social media, allow binary distinctions between private and professional spaces to merge, so too in education are we seeing distinctions between formal and informal learning also blur.
Building belonging
In the contexts of digital learning and social learning, one study shows that building a sense of belonging through online learning communities enhances learning experiences and outcomes for digital learners.
This is supported by a 2018 survey of 1,500 online college students in the US, which revealed that 'interactions and relationships with peers are key to online students' success'.
Your task
Take a moment to reflect on your own experience of social learning in this course so far and discuss your thoughts in the comments. For example:
- Have you been applying the 3C philosophy (curious, constructive and compassionate) in your engagement with others? If so, how?
- What have you learned from others that you didn't know previously?
- What are your thoughts about the social learning features of this platform? What do you like/not like? How could these be improved?
If you haven't already, get even more social by using #FLdigitallearning to extend the conversation by posting on social media what you've learned so so far.
Behind the scenes: Chie's story
Within the FutureLearn platform, you can see some of the ways in which social learning is supported online. Features such as 'like', 'follow', 'reply' in addition to conversational posts are directly and pedagogically embedded into the platform to encourage teacher-learner and learner-learner interactions. I find 'liking' useful to give quick social feedback, especially in a MOOC environment where there are large numbers of learners.

Naeesha (65), an Iraqi national, had never imagined she could walk again following an injury to her hip bone.
She was wheelchair-bound for a long time. Doctors in her country put her on medication. She was fine until a few years ago, when she started experiencing difficulty walking due to damaged hips.
She underwent a left hip replacement surgery in Iraq. However, the joy of being able to walk lasted just for just two years as the left hip was damaged again leaving her on a wheelchair.
Upon evaluation, doctors in Bengaluru said a bone reconstruction surgery needed to be done. "Her left hip was badly damaged and the socket of the left hip bone had gone up to the urethra. Her thigh bone was missing and it was necessary to reconstruct everything for her to be able to walk again," said Dr Ravi Kelkar, consultant, Orthopaedics, Columbia Asia Hospital, Hebbal.
Naaesha underwent a bone reconstruction surgery that lasted six hours. Post surgery, Naaesha has recovered well. She was able to start walking on the second day post surgery.

The Auckland man who lost three family members in a horrific house fire last month is still critically injured and will not be able to farewell his loved ones at their funeral this week.
Refugee Council of New Zealand secretary Kailesh Thanabalasingham, 47, escaped the blaze in Flat Bush on December 22 but was severely burnt. The fire claimed the lives of his 5-year-old son, 39-year-old wife and 66-year-old mother-in-law.
"He's still in a critical condition," family spokeswoman Deborah Manning said.
"He's heavily sedated, he's not awake."
Manning said there was no way of knowing if Kailesh knew his family members had died.
They will be farewelled in a joint service at the Manukau Memorial Gardens on Thursday. The service will be open to the public.
Kailesh's 11-year-old daughter and 69-year-old father-in-law survived the fire.
"This is just an extremely difficult time for the family," Manning said.
"They would just like to thank again everybody for their support."
A Givealittle page has been set up for Kailesh by the Refugee Council and has so far raised $76,000.
An update on the page mentioned the funeral would be held this week.
"It seems so sad that he'll be unable to say goodbye to them," the post said.

Students celebrate success over Canterbury council policy but issue warning to commit
Students across universities and colleges in Canterbury are celebrating at securing policies in the Higher and Further Education in Canterbury Impact Review, conducted by Canterbury City Council.
The project, commissioned by Canterbury City Council in September 2015, carried out a review into the economic, physical and social contributions of educational institutions in the city.
Canterbury Christ Church Students' Union, Canterbury College Students' Union, Kent Union and University for the Creative Arts Students' Union, collectively representing 29,000 students in Canterbury, sat on the commission working group and contributed to the report and its findings.
Amongst the recommendations from the report, which goes out to public consultation today, students secured commitments to drive up voter registration through accessible technology and tackle the dwindling sexual health services in the city. Canterbury City Council has also agreed to publish data annually on its controversial Article 4 Directions policy which will prove whether it has a positive or negative impact, if any at all. Students campaigned strongly against its implementation.
Whilst many positives have come out of the report students have warned that the council must commit to advancing some of the students' unions recommendations to avoid appearing stagnant. One of these areas is a firm commitment to removing deemed consent of letting boards largely considered an eyesore and nuisance, and may help to bring down targeted burglary against student properties.
Students have also voiced concerns that the council haven't been strong enough at tackling the rising costs of accommodation in its report. Students' unions have recommended that the council close the loophole that allows property developers to build student accommodation without affordability regulations subjected to other residential buildings.
Rory Murray, Union President of Kent Union said;
"It's been an overwhelmingly positive experience working on this report with the council and a range of other important groups such as residents associations. I am particularly pleased that this report has been based on fact not fiction, actively disproving some of the myths around students in the city.
"I'm thrilled that this report shows some real positive outcomes ahead for students and other residents with the council committing to improving voter registration and sexual health services. We are also pleased that the council will release annual figures on the use of its controversial Article 4 Directions policy showing if it will have a positive or negative impact, if any at all.
"We are, however, disappointed that the council hasn't fully committed to some of our recommendations. We believe that the final report must recommend introducing a code for letting boards, widely considered a nuisance, and commit to closing the loophole on property developers providing affordable housing for students. We will continue to push for this to happen.
"I'm very proud of the work we have done on this project that tackles issues that although disproportionately affect students will have a positive impact on all residents. We look forward to working with the council on this moving forward."

Mole Quotes (5 quotes)
Ante mare et terras et quod tegit omnia caelum
unus erat toto naturae vultus in orbe,
quem dixere chaos: rudis indigestaque moles
nec quicquam nisi pondus iners congestaque eodem
non bene iunctarum discordia semina rerum.
unus erat toto naturae vultus in orbe,
quem dixere chaos: rudis indigestaque moles
nec quicquam nisi pondus iners congestaque eodem
non bene iunctarum discordia semina rerum.
GEOLOGY, n. The science of the earth's crust to which, doubtless, will be added that of its interior whenever a man shall come up garrulous out of a well. The geological formations of the globe already noted are catalogued thus: The Primary, or lower one, consists of rocks, bones of mired mules, gas-pipes, miners' tools, antique statues minus the nose, Spanish doubloons and ancestors. The Secondary is largely made up of red worms and moles. The Tertiary comprises railway tracks, patent pavements, grass, snakes, mouldy boots, beer bottles, tomato cans, intoxicated citizens, garbage, anarchists, snap-dogs and fools.
The most important object of Civil Engineering is to improve the means of production and of traffic in states, both for external and internal trade. It is applied in the construction and management of roads, bridges, railroads, aqueducts, canals, river navigation, docks and storehouses, for the convenience of internal intercourse and exchange; and in the construction of ports, harbours, moles, breakwaters and lighthouses; and in the navigation by artificial power for the purposes of commerce. It is applied to the protection of property where natural powers are the sources of injury, as by embankments forthe defence of tracts of country from the encroachments of the sea, or the overflowing of rivers; it also directs the means of applying streams and rivers to use, either as powers to work machines, or as supplies for the use of cities and towns, or for irrigation; as well as the means of removing noxious accumulations, as by the drainage of towns and districts to ... secure the public health.
What a curious picture it is to find man, homo sapiens, of divine origin, we are told, seriously considering going underground to escape the consequences of his own folly. With a little wisdom and foresight, surely it is not yet necessary to forsake life in the fresh air and in the warmth of sunlight. What a paradox if our own cleverness in science should force us to live underground with the moles.
What can be more curious than that the hand of a man, formed for grasping, that of a mole for digging, the leg of the horse, the paddle of the porpoise, and the wing of the bat, should all be constructed on the same pattern?

Puma designer, Daniel Taylor recently shared a quick look at the initial design ideation of the Puma RS-0.
Inspired by Puma's Running System models, which released in 1987, the RS-0 is a culmination of those heritage models mixed with a more contemporary design language. Personally a fan of the moulded heel tab, which adds a rugged pop detail and gives the shoe a sort of exoskeletal feel at the heel.
You can see more of Daniel's sketches, as well as some beauty shots of the final product, below.

She can swim far and wide across the waters of Equestria, but it's not enough. There are places above those waters, places she plans to reach. Where biology failed her, her mind would succeed. Equestria better be ready, because she plans to visit!
A middle aged human ends up in Equestria dropped in the middle of nowhere. He wanders into town and quickly discovers pony folk are kind folk. Maybe there's a life to be made here.
After deciding to stay in Equestria and learn its ways as a unicorn colt, Silver Lining now faces Canterlot and learning how to be a unicorn with his former-OC and Trixie to watch over him. Will he master magic, or discover the cruel side of foals.
Silver Lining, now wielding a cutie mark and an insatiable desire to learn and codify magic, has graduated from grade school and now faces the challenges of a magic academy as a young adult. This former-human is learning his place in Equestria.
Lyra Heartstrings, transformation specialist and social worker for those who believe they were not born ponies. These are her therapy sessions, both in group and in private.
A new jumpgate is discovered, or rather a very old and decayed one that had been brought back online. House Hawkwood sends a bold explorer through to discover what riches await on the other end. He did not expect equines to be the result.
Twilight Sparkle botches a spell and ends up in a whole new realm of danger and adventure, where the land is ruled by a much more pragmatic pony empire, ruled by a very mortal queen. A Ponyfinder crossover.
They fell from the sky, only to have their landing broken by flowers carefully tended to by a crystal pony. The pony was scared away. They were scared stiff, but there was no running. The pony world they found themselves in was very real.
The former human known as Silver has attempted to throw his life away, but neither Luna nor his wife, Night Watch will tolerate this. He claims it was an impulse, but they will cure him of the deep breaks even if it means reassembling him from parts.
Freshly founded, news of Ponyville spreads through a still developing country, drawing other earth ponies and some pegasi to join the effort. One of these families happens to have fur on their wings, and the slit eyes of predators. They ain't right.
A human called Noah finds a dark cave for shelter during one of his hikes after a nasty fall. This turns out to just be the start of his adventure. Perhaps some non-pony viewpoints would help, or should he turn to his new family?
How could she miss it? The seventh element was right under her nose the entire time, supporting her, guiding her, and loving her. When it strayed from its course, destiny itself nudged it back into line. It was always there... It was just waiting.
Prickle didn't ask to become so strong, but it just happened. Now, as a growing foal, she's mightier than many grown stallions. What's an earth-filly to do? She tries her best to move forward and not draw attention to her supernatural strength.
Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle (EQG Edition) try to make the portal safer. This does not end well and sends both catapulting in the body of ponies into a world of danger, magic, and unending adventure. Will they survive their trip to Everglow?
Her brilliant plan was ready to put into motion. All she had to do was get to the right place, then wait. How hard could that be? It wasn't like Twilight had any security measures of any kind.

INTERVIEW: Yungblud out to make rock dangerous, but his community safe
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF. — There's little room for middle ground when it comes to U.K. singer-songwriter Dominic Harrison, better known as Yungblud. Harrison's bold, outspoken and audacious personality makes him an unmistakable force that's impossible to ignore. As Yungblud, Harrison aims for an era when rock and roll was daring and dangerous, and its main protagonists were larger than life figures that transcended music and culture.
9 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 15
The Regency Ballroom
Tickets: $25-$30.
"Rock music is pretty fucking boring right now," Harrison said recently in a chat at Vans Warped Tour in the South Bay. "It's not progressive; it's not sounding any different than it's sounded for 40 years."
Harrison is a lot of things, but boring is not one of them. His style is loud and unpredictable. He's just as likely to wear a transparent dress for his onstage attire as he is colorful baggy sweaters and chains. His image is a little Freddie, a little Kurt, a little Bowie, a little Iggy—and a dash of Gaga. It's a rock and roll stew.
Unafraid to speak his mind in song, Harrison puts the issues facing Generation Z at the forefront of his message. Gun violence, opioid addiction and mental health; nothing is left off the table. Harrison said he's encouraged by other artists like Grandson and FEVER 333 to feel more confident about aggressively speaking out on record about real world issues.
"Mental health and socials issues are being talked about more, but the artists who are doing it right aren't doing it to be trendy," Harrison said. "We're doing this because we generally believe it; there's been such a shift."
It's not only the artists that are more engaged in social issues, it's the fans as well. Harrison said there is a hunger from young audiences to speak out on the issues they care about.
"If you asked a young person if they were into politics five years ago, they'd say, 'fuck no, fuck that, it's lame.'" he said. "but we have to be now. Look at the world and look at what's going on."
While the lyrical messages of the songs may be heavy, Harrison makes the musical counterpart vibrant and bouncy. He's also keenly aware to never preach to an audience, choosing rather to raise issues with inclusiveness. Instead, he just tried to make fans feel welcome at his shows.
Yungblud, as an entity, was born out of a sense of community between Harrison and his fans—known as the Black Hearts Club—with the shared goal of celebrating shared struggles as well the diversity that brings them together. The "Black Hearts" moniker comes from tattoos on the singer's middle fingers.
"Yungblud is 50 percent me and 50 percent them; it's not a fan base and an artist," Harrison said. "It's not that [the message] resonates with them, we resonate with each other."
The artist, who has ADHD, explained that his music was influenced by the condition. Not being able to listen to the same thing for long, he was exposed to many genres that eventually influenced his genre-bending, shapeshifting style. Feeling like he didn't fill the mold, Harrison built his own and now encourages his fans to do the same. On the other hand, music also became the outlet to clear his mind of noise and distraction. As he talks he takes turns leaning forward in his chair before slowly reclining. Back and forth.
"I'm manic all of the time," Harrison said. "Music made me feel still, and my head has never been still."
Since releasing his debut album, 21st Century Liability, in 2018, he's worked with Halsey and Travis Barker on "11 Minutes" and rapper Machine Gun Kelly on "I Think I'm OKAY." In the case of Halsey (whom Harrison is also now dating), the collaboration was initiated via Instagram DM. The two shared a common passion for the culture of punk rock growing up.
"We bonded over stories of Warped Tour," Harrison said. "When we first went for a fucking drink, that was the conversation we had."
Next, he'd like to work with Tyler, the Creator, because he views the rapper's music as a destination young people can go to find comfort. Yungblud wants to do the same for his fans and said the feeling of community when he's on stage validates all of the reasons he became an artist in the first place.
Harrison has a lot to look forward to on the horizon, with a U.S. headlining tour and new music.
"Genuinely, all I wanted to do was create a family and movement of people who felt like they were lonely and didn't belong," he said. "There's something about us all singing together in solidarity that just makes me inspired and happy. It makes me feel like I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, in this moment, doing exactly this thing."

You've already been to a physical therapist, chiropractor, or pain management practice. And you've tried epidural and steroid shots to ease your chronic back pain. After finding no long-term relief, is back surgery worth it? Spinal surgery can result in life altering differences improving your quality of life, but fear and common myths make too many patients unsure about surgery. New Jersey Neck & Back Institute, P.C., takes a closer look to dispel the myths and fears associated with these procedures.
While it is true that some conditions require major operations, Dr. Sandro LaRocca of New Jersey Neck & Back Institute, P.C., performs many minimally invasive back surgeries. With only a few small incisions, we treat a wide variety of conditions, including:
Not necessarily. Though any surgical procedure carries potential risks and side effects, complications from back surgery are typically rare and/or minimal. Plus, restoring one's quality of life through back surgery proves to be a wise decision for many patients. From restoration of neurologic function, improved mobility and increased productivity to reduced reliance on pain medications, back surgery is often the right solution – especially when all other attempts to find relief have failed. You should consult with your doctor about the risks you may face to determine if back surgery is the right option for you.
This is not true. It's expected that you'll feel some degree of pain or soreness following your procedure, but that usually begins to subside in the first few days after surgery. Depending on how major or invasive the back surgery was, some patients experience mild to moderate soreness or pain for up to six weeks. With that being said, the road to recovery is different for everyone and depends on several factors, like the type of surgery you had, your age, and your physical fitness before surgery. More importantly, the overall reduction in long-term pain is worth temporary soreness in a majority of cases.
The majority of patients undergoing back surgery experience satisfactory results and won't have to undergo additional procedures. For instance, up to 90 percent of people who receive surgery for chronic back pain are successful. However, every procedure's success and the need for further surgeries depend on the severity of the individual's condition. If an initial operation cannot completely resolve a problem or if a new, unrelated condition arises, surgery may be needed again.
Hopefully this helps you make the decision about dealing with your spinal condition. Make an appointment with Dr. LaRocca at New Jersey Neck & Back Institute, P.C. today. Contact us today to schedule an appointment at one of our three locations in New Jersey – Lawrenceville, Toms River, or Mount Laurel.

Abstract and Keywords
Despite international guarantees to respect religious freedom, governments around the world often impose substantial restrictions on the abilities of some religious groups to openly practice their faith. These regulations on religious freedom are often justified to promote social stability. However, research has demonstrated a positive correlation between restrictions on religious freedom and religious violence. This violence is often thought to be a result of grievances arising from the denial of a religious group's right to openly practice its faith. These grievances encourage violence by (a) encouraging a sense of common group identity, (b) encouraging feelings of hostility toward groups imposing those regulations, and (c) facilitating the mobilization of religious resources for political violence.
Keywords: religious freedom, grievances, violence, regulation, repression, politics and religion

Growing up, my best friend's family spent weekends at their camp on Lake Ontario outside of Pulaski. Their parents graduated from a pop-up to a towed camper (travel trailers, as they are apparently called) that would house the four of them each weekend and for a couple of weeks each summer. I remember going up there a couple of times as a kid. It seemed mostly like an opportunity for the adults in our neighborhood group to congregate away from the confines of our subdivision and get boozy, but it was sold to the the kids as, "Hey there's a beach."
There's a word in the Syracuse Northside Italian dialect that loosely translates to "Too dirty to enjoy; repulsed; disgusted by." It's called "skeeved," and my mother skeeved the outdoors. She skeeved any structure without running water, flush toilets, or permanent furniture. Scott's family seemed to enjoy it, or at the very least enjoyed being away from the neighborhood and work. My mother seemed to cast a pall on it for the rest of us. I remember our family staying overnight there once, and us beating feet when the sun rose so that we could go home and shower with Brill-O pads in order to remove the shadow of skeeve.
As an adult, my attitudes towards camping — tent or otherwise — haven't changed. One of my oldest friends is, as we speak, deep in the wilderness of Northwest Quebec at her family's camp. In the past I may have mentioned that my idea of camping is a Fairfield Inn by Marriott, she may have looked at me as if I just punched both of her children in the face. I think the skeeve factor has been passed down. I hope The Kid doesn't have her heart set on us going camping.
I thought of all this while looking at the camper on the can of Boulevard Pop-Up IPA, the session beer made by the Kansas City-based, Belgian-owned craft brewery. One of the nation's most highly-regarded brewers, Boulevard makes a first-rate IPA (The Calling) and an exceptional saison (Tank 7). Pop-Up reminded me of my camping experience: disappointing. I wanted so much more from this beer, namely for it to be more than just average. In reality, its mired in mediocrity.
It pours brassy and crystal clear and gives off the scent of tropical fruit. Beyond that, it's a watery, flavorless beer that washes off the palate without much memorability. It's better than Samuel Adams Rebel Rider IPA, but falls well short of joining the upper tier of session beers.
Brewer: Boulevard Brewing Company
Beer: Pop-Up Session IPA
Style: IPA
Container: 12 oz. can
Price: $11.99 (purchased as a six-pack) Point of Purchase: Syosset Beverage, Syosset, N.Y.
To The Eye: Golden to amber with a medium head that fades.

To The Palate: Flat on flavor. Opens up with a faint fruit flavor and has some resin notes. Light on body. Forgettable.
Aftertaste: Faintly resinous.
Boozy Factor: Session beer.

Stuart Pearce has placed an early claim on the Manchester City job when Kevin Keegan steps down as manager in 18 months' time.
Keegan has already confirmed his intention not to seek an extension to his current deal, a move which has at least given the Blues board plenty of time to find a successor.
Having joined City initially as a player under Keegan in 2001, former Newcastle defender Pearce has moved onto the coaching staff and was promoted to joint assistant-manager following the departure of veteran Arthur Cox last summer.
Pearce has already had one stint as manager, a single year as player-boss with Nottingham Forest eight seasons ago, but has made no secret of his desire to have another crack at the job.
Speaking on the eve of City's home clash with Tottenham, Pearce said: "Kevin has made it clear he will be leaving in 18 months' time so you do not have to be Einstein to realise there will be a manager's job available at a good club.
"I will be applying for it, although whether the board deem me good enough to take it I do not know.
"By the time Kevin leaves I will have been here for five years, so at least they will have had a good look at me and they are aware of my feelings on being Kevin's successor.
"It is a fantastic job for anybody - I just hope it will be me."

Living With Food Sensitivities: Dairy
So you've been told to go dairy free, and after doing some research you realize that many of the foods you eat contain dairy! What to do now? Today in our Living with Food Sensitivities series we are talking all about dairy and how to navigate a dairy free eating pattern.
What is Dairy?
First things first- let's define dairy. This refers to a food or product containing milk and/or milk products from cow, goat, or sheep. These animals produce milk that contains the proteins casein and whey. Whether you reacted to the specific milk or one of the milk proteins on your food sensitivity test, you will need to avoid any product that has dairy, because at the end of the day the milk and the proteins are a package deal- you're not going to get one without the other.
The amount of casein and whey will vary from its milk source. For example, the casein in cheese made from sheep's milk will be less than the amount of casein found in cheese derived from cow's milk. When dealing with food sensitivities we do not know how little or how much may be affecting you, so it is best to remove the culprit completely to achieve the best possible results with your elimination plan.
Reading Food Labels
The foods that you are probably already aware of that you will need to avoid are: milk, buttermilk, butter, cottage, cheese, cream, custard, curds, condensed milk, evaporated milk, half & half, ice-cream, pudding, sour cream, whipped cream, whey or casein protein powder.
The not-so-obvious foods that may contain dairy products will be: baked goods, breads, processed breakfast cereals, energy/protein/snack bars, milk chocolate, instant potatoes, soups/ soup mixes, lunch meats, salad dressings, pancake/ waffle mixes, biscuits, meat substitutes, and some probiotic supplements. These ingredient list for these products will need to be reviewed prior to purchasing.
Luckily nowadays, for (almost) every dairy containing food, there is a dairy free alternative. For example, there are dairy free milks made from almonds, cashews, rice, soy, coconut, flax, and the same goes for cheeses, yogurts, and ice cream. The easiest way to look for these options is to look for a "dairy free" or "vegan" label. If you reacted specifically to casein, be cautious because there are a few alternative options that will contain casein. These products will likely be labeled "non-dairy" so reading ingredient labels is a must.
You may also find it helpful to know that milk is one of the top 8 allergens. Because of this, the federal Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) requires that all packaged food products sold in the U.S. that contain milk as an ingredient list the word "Milk" on the label. This can make it easier to determine if milk is present in your products. If you come across the warning "processed in a facility that also processes milk," the product is likely okay for an individual with a sensitivity to dairy. This may not be the case for a person who has a cow's milk allergy. (Follow your health care provider's recommendations when it comes to avoiding foods you allergic to. If you are wondering about the difference between allergies and sensitivities, please check out this post.)
One of the most common questions we get when we instruct our patients about dairy free eating is, "How do I get enough calcium with a dairy free eating pattern?" Rest assured that there are plenty of wholesome food sources to choose from like: enriched dairy free milks, sesame seeds, almonds, tofu, dark leafy greens (kale, spinach, watercress, bok choy, broccoli rabe), sardines, and salmon. We recommend speaking with a nutrition professional if you have specific concerns regarding your calcium intake.
A2 Milk
Lastly, the savvy individual in you may be wondering about A2 milk. You may already know that there are genetic variants of the casein protein. These include A1 and A2. Milk products sourced from A2 cows have been touted for benefits such as better digestion. However, keep in mind that regardless of the potential health benefit of A1 milk over A2 milk, individuals who have a sensitivity (and/or allergy) to casein, should avoid all milk.
Dairy Free Recipes
Now that you know all about living dairy free, let's talk about all of the foods that you can enjoy. Here are some of our favorite dairy free recipes:
Gluten and Dairy Free Mac and Cheese
Roasted Cauliflower & Garlic Soup
Best Dairy Free Ranch Dressing
Bonus: Our Favorite Dairy Free Products
And many more! Our blog contains mostly dairy free recipes, so feel free to check out what else we have to offer. Going dairy free may be challenging at first, but with guidance, planning, and keeping an open mind with alternative products, you will be a pro in no time!

MOSOW, July 01. /ITAR-TASS/. The Eurasian Economic Union is open to CIS countries that have not joined it yet, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday.
"We are open to other countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States," Putin said at a meeting with Russian diplomats.
"The efforts to strengthen close and friendly ties and develop mutually advantageous cooperation with neighbors are a key and strategic area of Russia's foreign policy for a long-term perspective," the Russian president said.
The treaty on the establishment of the Eurasian Economic Union signed by the presidents of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan on May 29 in Astana "symbolizes a qualitatively new stage of our interaction," Putin said.
A powerful economic center attractive for business and investors is being created in the Eurasian space and a common market is emerging," the Russian president said.
The new association "objectively evokes great interest from CIS partners," Putin said.
In particular, Armenia will soon join the Eurasian Union and talks with Kyrgyzstan are also "at an advanced stage," the Russian president said.
The Eurasian Economic Union, which envisages the free movement of goods, services, capital and workforce and is based on the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, will become operational from January 1, 2015.

Obama zombie photo criticized, Republicans apologize, official resignsBy Angel Cuala on Nov 2, 2011 in International, Politics, United States •
A photo showing US President Barack Obama as zombie surfaced over the Halloween weekend, and was strongly criticized by Republican Party of Virginia.
Halloween party invitation, showing President
Obama as zombie (Click Image To Enlarge)
Image Credit: LCRC/Too Conservative.com
The Obama zombie photo, as shown below, was first revealed online by Too Conservative blog on Monday, October 31, 2011, which described it as "disgusting and shameful".
The photo titled 'Halloween 2011', which include an image of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi as zombie, was sent via email by the Loudoun County Republican Committee to their supporters as an invitation to a Halloween party.
"The disgusting image used today on a mass e-mail has no place in our politics. Ever," Republican Party of Virginia Chairman Pat Mullins was quoted in a statement. "The Republican Party of Virginia condemns the image and its use in the strongest possible terms."
Meanwhile, Loudoun County Republican Committee (LCRC) chairman Mark Sell released a statement of apology but noted that it was a Halloween joke and not intended to hurt anyone.
"Nothing could be further from the truth, and we deeply and sincerely apologize to the president and anyone who viewed the image if that was the impression that was left." Mr. Sell said, as posted at Washington Post on Tuesday.
"The LCRC deplores any effort to display, suggest or promote violence against the president or any other political figure." The chairman added, noting that it is only an attempt to project humor during Halloween.
According to USNews.com, Robert Jesionowski, the Loudoun County communications committee chairman who sent the image, resigned from his position on Monday.

Where did it all go wrong?
For a time, Assassin's Creed was the premiere gaming franchise. Launching off the back of some mysterious marketing that hinted at a future-meets-ancient history setup, a supremely slick trailer that blended house beats with neck-stabbing and an ultra-cool hooded protagonist, it was like some mix of Splinter Cell stealth, Metal Gear ostentatiousness and Prince of Persia athleticism all rolled into one.
That said, nine main instalments, twenty spin-offs, multiple animated movies and a full-length Hollywood disaster later, Assassin's Creed is still a household name, but one approached with the cautiousness of an open flame. Thanks to a number of disappointing business decisions, some profoundly dumb plot revelations, off-putting characters and a rushed release schedule, the Assassin's Creed of today is one that feels as though it's denying being on life support.
Still, with AC Origins doing a great many things right, it's very easy to remain optimistic about the future of the franchise overall - because let's be honest, there aren't any other big budget trans-global adventures focused on neck-stabbing to take its place.
Though, look back on the series as a whole - and as someone who's played every single one, I frequently do - and you start to see a pretty clear picture of where Ubisoft began going left, when they should've gone right.

ar/ge kunst Bozen
Museumstraße 29
I-39100 Bolzano
artist / participant
press release
Opening and Artist's Talk
25.02.2016, 7 pm Oliver Ressler with Marco Scotini (curator and director at NABA – Nuova Accademia delle Belle Arti di Milano) Display in collaboration with Akrat, co-operative, Bolzano/Bozen.
ar/ge kunst is pleased to present Everything Under Control, the first solo exhibition at an Italian institution by Austrian artist Oliver Ressler.
Focusing mainly on Ressler's practice as a filmmaker, this exhibition gathers new and recent works from various strands of research conducted over the course of his career. The display and installation, conceived as a unique path through the venue, underlines how these strands are deeply intertwined and part of Ressler's continuous engagement with a wider idea of social justice.
Central to the exhibition is the opacity of language with which capitalism operates, communicates and tends to conceal the fact that economic, environmental and humanitarian crises in the southern hemisphere are co-dependent sides of a narrative which presents the wealth of the northern hemisphere as victimless and sustainable. A large-scale photo-based image of the sea showing sinking vessels and container ships obscures the window of ar/ge kunst, addressing the street outside the venue and introducing the broader economic discussion within. Reading this image in relation to the title of the exhibition, Everything Under Control, might lead to the assumption that its intentions are ironic. After all, an economic system that rests on global trade but produces ecological and social catastrophes on a daily basis should really be described as 'out of control'. However, in the context of the central work in the exhibition – a three-channel video installation entitled Occupy, Resist, Produce (2014–15) – the word 'control' actually implies 'control by the workers'. This latest, on-going work, for which Ressler has been collaborating with Dario Azzellini, documents factories in Milan, Rome and Thessaloniki which, having been abandoned by their legal owners, were occupied by the workers between 2011 and 2013. Each film consists of a discussion with the workers and records their assemblies. The voices of the protagonists elucidate the complex and collective decision-making processes involved in converting these factories from sites for the production of goods into sites for the 'production' of new social and economic models, a process entailing the search for a language that could be shared with neighbours, locals and migrant communities whose struggles paralleled theirs.
The Visible and The Invisible (2014) and The Right of Passage (with Zanny Begg, 2013) are two films that take different approaches to dealing with movement across borders, (the denial of) access and plundering. The first looks at Switzerland's role as a global headquarters for barely visible transnational corporations trading in raw materials usually extracted from the southern hemisphere. The Right of Passage focuses on struggles to obtain citizenship while also questioning the inherently exclusive nature of citizenship. Interviews with Sandro Mezzadra, Antonio Negri and Ariella Azoulay form the starting point for a discussion with a group of people living 'without papers' in Barcelona.
The exhibition display has been realized by the Akrat co-operative in dialogue with ar/ge kunst and the artist.
Everything Under Control is part of a cycle of solo exhibitions by Oliver Ressler at four European institutions: Lentos Kunstmuseum (Linz), n.b.k. – Neue Berliner Kunstverein (Berlin), CAAC – Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo (Seville) and ar/ge kunst (Bolzano), each presenting different aspects of the artist's work. The book Cartographies of Protest is published as a collaboration of the four institutions.
Book: Oliver Ressler, Cartographies of Protest, Verlag für Moderne Kunst, 2014. Essays by TJ Demos, Katarzyna Kosmala, Suzana Milevska and Marco Scotini. Edited by Juan Antonio Álvarez Reyes, Marius Babias, Emanuele Guidi, Stella Rollig. In German and English, 160 pp.

PlayStation EU exec Jim Ryan confirms to BBC News that PS4 Pro will not include a 4K Blu-Ray player. Paraphrasing: The focus is on games— Rob Crossley (@Rob_Crossley_) September 7, 2016
Sony has confirmed that the PS4 Pro will not support UHD Blu-Rays, and only offer 4K video via streaming apps.
Sony officially lifted the curtain on the PS4 Pro today, and while it confirmed a lot of snazzy new features like improved internals and 4K video support, it wasn't clear on whether it would support 4K Blu-ray disks. Unfortunately, Sony's Jim Ryan has confirmed to BBC that the PS4 Pro will not include a 4K Blu-Ray player. Sadface.
The company stated that the only way to enjoy the new machine's 4K video feature is via streaming apps such as Netflix. Meanwhile, Microsoft's Xbox One S will come with a 4K Blu-ray player as standard. The Xbox One S is the slimmed down version of the standard Xbox One, and isn't to be confused with Project Scorpio - the "improved" Xbox One that's more in line with the PS4 Pro. We don't know if Scorpio will come with a 4K Blu-ray player, but we are assuming it will as the S has one.
According to BBC's Rob Crossley, Sony stated the reasoning for the lack of player is because the PS4 Pro has a "focus on games," rather than entertainment.

On Aging
Aging is really a new experience and something of a surprise for anyone who reaches retirement age so it's is no wonder that so much foolishness is written about its "prevention." There are physical and mental manifestations we could all do without, but a sense of humor helps tremendously, and there are preparations one can set in motion earlier in adulthood. The saddest of both young and senior citizens are those who have no sense of wonder or enthusiasm.

The Toshiba Thrive has just entered markets but is already feeling sleepy. It is apparently so tired that it refuses to wake up even after repeated nudges, leaving users with no other option but to go for a hard reboot. However, Toshiba has already jumped into action, acknowledged the problem, and are reassuring Thrive users a fix is in the works and will be released soon.
"We're aware of the issue and are working on a fix," revealed Toshiba sources though what it did not reveal is any specific time frame within which the fix is likely to be available. The source however did mention the fix would be released via Toshiba's Service Station pre-loaded application.
Return rates have naturally been picking up at an alarming rate, though now that Toshiba is in the thick of things, it might still be a good idea to hold on to your Thrive. The tablet otherwise has pretty solid hardware and does look and feel tough. It is a decent option for those looking for a 10 inch tablet running Honeycomb, and it's really good to see that Toshiba is eager to work a solution for the Thrive sleep issues.

With endless hours of sunshine, and beautiful whitewashed villas, why not grab the opportunity with Algarve villa rentals for your next holiday. For my money, a villa is the best type of accommodation for your holiday in the Algarve. While the idea of being waited on hand and foot in a fine hotel is tempting, nothing beats the feeling of 'living' in the country you're staying in.
Most people who come to the Algarve will head for a destination in the Central Algarve. This is probably because the this area of the Algarve is the most commercialised and geared up for the 'tourist'. It has the largest concentration of hotels and apartments in the country and a selection of sporting and leisure activities to suit everyone.
