a video team destroyed recordings from the scene of the crime The public prosecutor’s office refused to have the body X-rayed and it was left to Jalloh’s friends to arrange this later at their own expense in order to determine his injuries Original charges of “involuntary manslaughter” ended in an acquittal of all police officers because the witnesses for the prosecution changed their testimony retrospectively and all of the police kept silent A charred lighter that turned up in the evidence from the cell cannot have come from the scene of the crime This fact was established by later investigations by Jalloh supporters It emerged that two other men had already died at the same police station before Jalloh and the investigations into these deaths had not yet been completed in January 2005 This raises the question if there was an attempt to cover up multiple police murders additional private and official fire tests have clearly shown that the fire that took place in cell 5 could not have started without an accelerant The research group Forensic Architecture (FA) reconstructed the course of events They concluded that such a fire requires the draft of an open door the senior public prosecutor in Dessau finally opened a murder investigation the case was taken away from him and handed over to another public prosecutor in Halle When politicians in the state parliament asked questions and demanded clarification the minister of justice lied to parliament about the state of the investigation the public prosecutor’s office officially closed the investigation When Oury’s brother Saliou Jalloh turned to the Higher Regional Court in Naumburg in 2019 Saliou Jalloh took the case to the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe this court also closed the file on the murder in cell 5 Its main argument was that the termination of the investigation by the Higher Regional Court of Naumburg did not violate the constitution an attempt to file a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights also failed; the complaint was rejected on the grounds of a formal error judiciary and politicians have denied that Oury Jalloh could not have set himself on fire under any circumstances the absurd version of suicide is accepted and established in the courtrooms of Dessau and most recently in Karlsruhe and The Hague It has been declared that the case is legally closed in Germany But as the Initiative in Memory of Oury Jalloh correctly writes in its press release the facts speak “a clear language: this was murder the crime of murder is not subject to time limits “The fight for clarification and justice will continue until the Oury Jalloh affair has been resolved and the perpetrators held to account!” Saliou Diallo described last week’s rally in Dessau as another “anniversary of the fight for the truth.” The years of cover-ups and denials by the German judiciary in this and other cases represents a serious warning including the courts and all the state organs of violence is not to focus on education and mutual understanding Tragic attacks on migrants such as those in Solingen Mannheim and most recently Magdeburg are being used as an excuse to arm the police and intensify agitation against refugees and migrants party leader Alice Weidel is now openly and loudly raising the far right slogan of ‘remigration’—but such a policy is not restricted to the AfD All of the main parliamentary parties—the Social Democratic Party Left Party and Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance—are pursuing similar policies even though (or precisely because) they are involved in an election campaign Such policies are directed principally against the working class which is facing major struggles in the face of attacks on its jobs international perspective can ultimately ensure genuine justice for the victims of police violence You don't have permission to access the page you requested What is this page?The website you are visiting is protected.For security reasons this page cannot be displayed Where is the city center here?At a time when it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a place to live in large citiessmaller towns are confronted with the opposite problem: Emptiness this phenomenon begins in the core of city centers the reality of ageing and out-migration is rapidly coming to a head innovative young projects are already looking for alternatives to meet this challenge This is also the case in Dessau with the Young City Makers research project Students from the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences' Departments of Design and Architecture have been conducting action research for two years to find out how vacant properties in Dessau-Rosslau's city center can be sustainably revitalized three vacant spaces were transformed into: an urban living room they show how liveliness and community can be fueled by involving urban society and through design.can be fueled by design The final festival presents and reflects on the findings of the Young City Makers together with representatives from the city This event is for everyone who is interested in shaping their city.For creatives activists and doers from Dessau-Roßlauand beyond to discuss the present and future of city centers through thethrough the eyes of a younger generation The Young City Makers project is a collaboration between Anhalt University of Applied Sciences and the city of Dessau-Roßlau The Young City Makers are part of the nationwide ZIZ program (Zukunftsfähige Innenstädte und Zentren) funded by the BBSR This event was submitted by an ArchDaily user.

Predating influential albums by kindred spirits Low and Bedhead by almost half a decade but immense songs supported lyrics that were like a disturbingly pure embodiment of depression There was quite simply nothing else like it is akin to reliving a memory I can no longer fully access: I know all the words and chords Recorded in June 1992 at Harold Dessau Recording studio in New York City the album consists almost entirely of alternate versions of songs that were later rerecorded "Jr." and "Realize" — later released on the Barely Real EP — are beautiful but somewhat faithful reproductions while the songs that would eventually end up on The White Birch are startlingly different Dessau is much more natural and noisy than the stark hyper-precise versions later recorded with Doug Scharin the powerhouse drummer who replaced Chris Brokaw Originally intended as the band's sophomore effort Dessau was recorded at a particularly fraught moment when bassist/vocalist Stephen Immerwahr seemed to be in personal crisis Given the band's depressive lyrical content and Immerwahr's recollection of the events surrounding the Dessau recording — including a "high-pitched radio frequency-like noise on all my vocal tracks" that no one else could hear — one could conclude that he was experiencing something wildly different from the rest of the band And despite guitarist John Engle and Brokaw's confidence that it was their best work sickening fear that what I wanted us to achieve was beyond our reach." But it was this unashamed expression of sadness and isolation that resonated so strongly with me as a depressed teen Codeine spent a summer in my hometown of Louisville at an all-day concert with around a dozen bands on the bill the show veered hilariously off schedule; Codeine eventually took the stage at one in the morning The indie-rock band's "sensitive and sincere" music echoed throughout the surreal environs of an enormous almost empty 1,500-capacity shell of a building that had previously served as a laser tag arena Engle broke strings on both of his guitars early in the set and then borrowed a guitar from headliner Crain Everyone on stage and in the audience was in disbelief at the absurdity of it all and while I can still picture it in my mind the memories have softened and my mental image of the show is now hazy and my memory likely at least a little unreliable While my teenage loneliness and pain has mostly subsided hearing Codeine always snaps me back to that place I'm left with the feeling that I saw a ghost; Dessau feels like that ghost is in my living room Sarah Hennies is a composer based in upstate New York She is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of Music at Bard College Become an NPR sponsor Pflugerville ISD is considering closing Dessau Elementary as part of an effort to cut costs in the face of a multimillion-dollar budget deficit 19 that the district was researching the impact of closing one to two elementary schools and that it was choosing between three campuses: Dessau Killian sent families an email saying that PfISD had whittled down the potential closures to one school Killian said the district was no longer looking at closing Parmer Lane and River Oaks next year the goal is to create a campus and parent-led campaign aimed at increasing enrollment “A dedicated group of advocates has offered to partner with us to explore recruitment and retention options,” he wrote “We are grateful for this partnership and look forward to seeing what we can do together to keep ROES and PLES thriving.” Killian said PfISD was still researching the impact of closing Dessau Elementary for a couple of reasons Dessau is close to other elementary schools that have space for more students the campus has struggled academically for several years “While the district has provided additional funding we struggle to make adequate progress,” Killian wrote in the email which means they have a high percentage of students who are considered economically disadvantaged But Dessau Principal Teyan Allen disagreed with the superintendent’s characterization of her campus saying it lacked “compassion and thoughtfulness.” Allen spoke out at a PfISD school board meeting on Monday that was rescheduled after last week’s ice storm “While it is important to be transparent and clear it is also important to be mindful and respectful,” she said “I was very disheartened to read details about our school that were not necessary or helpful.” Allen told trustees that Dessau is more than a campus that has struggled academically “It is composed of excellent educators and support staff who give more than imaginable competent and talented students,” she said “The culture of our campus is one of pride A handful of Dessau teachers and staff also addressed the school board who has worked at Dessau in a variety of roles for nine years She said she knew the board faced a tough decision over how to save money “What I ask is this: please do not let our amazing campus be reduced to a few sentences about a lack of academic success or viewed as a sore spot in PfISD,” she said Vargas told KUT that she only learned about the possible closure from the superintendent’s email last week and now she’s considering leaving the district “I have already started looking at maybe charter schools just because it was heartbreaking not to have learned about what was going on before,” she said Vargas said it is especially disappointing because her son loves Dessau’s staff “He’s just starting to get used to his school," Vargas said "We had a hard time with him adjusting [to] pre-K She added that she likes Dessau Elementary because it has a bilingual education program and her son is fluent in both English and Spanish District officials said if the school board decides to close Dessau about 100 of the school’s students in pre-K through fourth grade would be rezoned to Pflugerville Elementary Dessau students would also be rezoned based on where they live Some students would go to Wieland Elementary more than 120 of that school’s students would shift to Copperfield Elementary Superintendent Killian has previously estimated that closing a single elementary campus would save about $2.5 million But he has repeatedly warned the district will need to make more cuts especially if it wants to offer raises to teachers and staff PfISD is looking at cutting programs as well as reducing the amount of time middle and high school teachers have to plan for classes and closing a school is never a good decision," Killian said Killian continued to encourage families to reach out to the Texas Legislature to advocate for more public education funding, such as raising per student funding to keep up with inflation. However, he expressed little optimism that lawmakers will use their historic $33 billion budget surplus to help schools School Board President Vernagene Mott said trustees have hard decisions ahead The PfISD school board may decide at its Feb. 23 meeting whether to close Dessau Elementary.

The Getty Research Institute, 930030 the provisional government of the short-lived Free State of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach in Germany initiated an effort to reestablish two schools the Weimar School of Applied Arts (Weimar Kunstgewerbeschule) and the neighboring Academy of Fine Arts (Hochschule für bildende Kunst) Upon the recommendation of Belgian architect Henry van de Velde who had previously directed the Weimar School of Applied Arts the Berlin architect Walter Gropius was invited to head the new school Gropius’s request to rechristen the institution under a new name Bauhaus State School (Staatliches Bauhaus) Architecture promised the possibility of realizing the total work of art and artisans worked together toward a single Gropius asked one of the earliest figures to be hired at the Bauhaus to graphically evoke the spiritual possibilities of this new art pedagogy Feininger illustrated Gropius’s future-oriented vision somewhat counterintuitively with a woodcut image of a gothic cathedral replete with flying buttresses and rays of light emanating from its steeples the cathedral promised the possibility of realizing the Gesamtkunstwerk Gropius’s radical pedagogical vision subjected the school to considerable political pressure throughout its short life particularly from the increasingly conservative forces that took hold in Weimar Germany the school was forced to relocate from Weimar to Dessau in 1925 The school’s demise came at the hands of the Nazis in 1933 Despite continual turmoil throughout the Bauhaus’s itinerant existence its radical pedagogy cemented the school’s legacy as a site for artistic experimentation well into the 21st century The ultimate goal of all creative activity is the building To decorate the building was once the noblest function of the fine arts and the fine arts were considered indispensable components of great architecture from which they can only be delivered by the conscious collaboration and cooperation of all craftsmen and sculptors must recognize anew and learn to grasp the composite character of building both as a totality and in terms of its parts so that their work may once more imbue itself with the architectonic spirit The old art schools were incapable of producing this unity—and how could they They must be merged once more with the workshop This world of mere drawing and painting of pattern-designers and applied artists must at long last become a world that builds If the young person who senses within himself a passion for creative practice begins his career then the unproductive ‘artist’ will no longer be condemned to imperfect artistry because his skill will be preserved in craftsmanship For there is no such thing as ‘art by profession.’ There is no essential difference between the artist and the craftsman in rare moments of illumination beyond man’s will may allow art to unconsciously blossom from the work of his hand but the foundations of craft are indispensable to every artist This is the original source of creative design So let us then create a new guild of craftsmen, free of the divisive class pretensions that attempted to raise an arrogant barrier between craftsmen and artists! Let us together will, conceive, and create the new building of the future, which will unite everything in a single form—architecture and sculpture and painting—and which will one day rise heavenwards from the hands of a million craftsmen as a crystalline symbol of a new and coming faith.3 Price: How much does it cost? Are there payment plans available? This chair costs $1,699 before tax, shipping, and handling fees. There aren’t payment plans, but other checkout options include PayPal and Venmo. What are the upholstery or customization options? Did you choose any? There are no customization or upholstery options. What is the lead time for customization, manufacturing, and delivery? The Crate & Barrel website estimates the shipping date for early October. What are the dimensions? How does it fit in your space? Would it be better suited for a different type of home? The dimensions are 38.5"W x 33.75"D x 24.5"H. My New York apartment couldn’t accommodate another chair so I had it shipped to my parents’ house in New Jersey. It’s currently placed in the living room where there is a lot of open space to work with, but I could definitely envision this in a smaller home, where it could stand out as a statement piece. Is the chair suitable for particular decor styles and if so, which? The Dessau Chair is Crate & Barrel’s take on midcentury-modern furniture, with the combination of warm layers and material mixes, making it fair game for a spectrum of styles. I’m openly very anti-bouclé, but I genuinely like what they did with it for this chair—it honestly had me reconsidering my stance! Is it durable and practical in a modern home? I think that the curvilinear frame with its tubular chrome-finished steel might be a red flag for some parents that need to baby-proof their home, but the chair itself could withstand any force on impact. Is the chair kid and/or pet friendly? One of our cat’s has claimed this chair as his throne, so I would definitely categorize it as pet friendly. As far as children are concerned, I think they would probably be fine in this seat. What are the care and cleaning instructions? Do you think stains could be easily removed? Instructions were not provided on the website, but I’m sure that stains could be removed from the fabric if you looked into it. Scrapes on the steel would require additional research. Do the photos do this product justice? Was there anything you were surprised to see IRL? The photos on the website make the chair appear more minimal, so if that’s not someone’s vibe then I could see them writing this off. I found it to be far more appealing in person, and would be curious to see how it looks within a more colorful space.

since 2018 Allen implemented quarterly community meetings for parents and workshops to support parental involvement on campus.  Prior to being promoted to the lead role at Spicewood Allen was the assistant principal for six years Allen was also a former fourth-grade teacher at Dessau Elementary from 2005 to 2009 "I am excited to return to Pflugerville ISD and particularly to Dessau Elementary," Allen said "The four years I spent there were very special to me and I look forward to returning and leading the campus and passionately serving our students Allen brings 20 years of

Elementary "I'm always happy when we see former PfISD teachers coming back into our district "Teyan Allen has the experience that will Dessau Elementary continue to grow academically She is a great fit for this community and I look forward to welcoming her back to Pflugerville."  Johannes Vetter notched up a fourth consecutive javelin victory beyond 90 metres winning at the Anhalt Meeting – part of the World Athletics Continental Tour Bronze series – in Dessau on Friday (21) Showing no signs of tiredness from his world-leading 94.20m effort in Ostrava two days prior the 2017 world champion opened with a solid 87.67m before sending his spear beyond the 90-metre line in round two with 91.86m That mark added exactly one metre the meeting record that had stood to Sergey Makarov for 19 years and he threw 93.20m in the next round to consolidate his lead World and Olympic finalist Julian Weber was second with a season’s best of 84.51m while Moldova’s Andrain Mardare was third with 82.99m “I actually didn’t expect to throw this far again today – 93.20m is quite something especially since my last competition was just 48 hours ago I’m really happy with the result,” said Vetter who has already thrown 90 metres seven times this year “It was a pretty solid series overall but as a precaution I decided to pass on the last two attempts I think I’ve shown that I’ve got enough of that at the moment with that 93-metre throw that competition in Ostrava just two days ago that’s the main motivation until then but I am really pleased with how well things are going I don’t think we had expected for things to be going as well as they are at the moment for us it’s more manifestation to help us determine at which level I’m at but I know there’s still more in the tank to not take all six throws when you feel your body is starting to tire and continue to concentrate on what really matters.” Only Zelezny has managed to produce more 90-metre throws than Vetter in a single season He also achieved five consecutive 90-metre competitions that season; Vetter is currently at four such competitions “To be able to throw as consistently as I am at the moment I don’t think anyone has been able to do that since Jan Zelezny and that makes me incredibly proud and happy,” said Vetter “But it’s still a long way to go to Tokyo.” World champions Malaika Mihambo and Sam Kendricks were comfortable winners of their respective events Kendricks won the men’s pole vault with 5.80m and went on to have three solid attempts at a would-be meeting record of 5.91m leaped 6.68m (1.1m/s) to win the long jump by 17 centimetres Ukraine’s Iryna Herashchenko emerged as the surprising winner of the high jump winning on countback from world silver medallist Yaroslava Mahuchikh as both women cleared 1.92m World champion Mariya Lasitskene finished equal seventh with a best clearance of 1.80m Belgium’s Cynthia Bolingo set a meeting record of 51.75 to win the women’s 400m and Poland’s Pia Skryszowska held off a strong challenge from Elvira Herman to win the 100m hurdles by 0.02 in 12.92 Benjamin Robert won the men’s 800m in 1:45.79 Connecting decision makers to a dynamic network of

organisations represented are Deutsche Bahn nextpractice-Institut and insurance company R+V Versicherung The award honours projects that find creative solutions to the challenges of demographic change projects are honoured that promote participation and openness to a diverse community and help to reduce discrimination and compensate for current inequalities in opportunities We will continue this approach!” Promoting openness to the world and diversity is an important task especially in times of growing populism and right-wing extremist ideas “We must all realise that without skilled workers from abroad and a modern and service-oriented administration that responds to the needs of our citizens our economy will not be able to meet the challenges of demographic change It is therefore only logical that we train the employees of our administrations to improve their diversity skills This is where successful integration and inclusion begins and sends a positive signal to local companies,” says Mayor Dr Robert Reck University President Jörg Bagdahn also highlights the importance of international students: “More than half of our students come from abroad Our study programme not only enriches the entire university science and culture to work closely together in Dessau Together with a network of companies and institutions we support students before and during their studies in order to prepare them specifically for starting their careers in Saxony-Anhalt.” The collaboration between the three administrative sites in Dessau-Roßlau was nominated for the final round in Berlin along with two other applicants The jury ultimately decided in favour of Ed ZÜBLIN AG – Subdivision East with the project “We build with diversity” which we would like to take this opportunity to congratulate The nomination alone shows that we are on the right track in Dessau-Rosslau and that the existing cooperation must be expanded in order to continue to gain appeal The project partners

give an insight into our work Try a different filter or a new search keyword In the summer of 1992, Stephen Immerwahr’s steely trio Codeine were making their second album at Harold Dessau Recording had entered the broadening slipstream of American indie rock trickling not only out of major cities These three mid-20s musicians from Oberlin College—singer and bassist Immerwahr, drummer Chris Brokaw, and guitarist John Engle—signed to Sub Pop and toured Europe with Bastro “I saw people my age in bands that were getting popular making a living—and that was totally new to me I wasn’t aware of other bands,” Immerwahr says not for the success of the band but for what the second album and our songs could be.” it felt like they’d reached that new level having played several of these numbers live; he even tuned his drums for the first time on “Sea,” the album’s gripping and forlorn opener the Oberlin friend who had cut Codeine’s debut and found the studio But there was one vexing sound that paralyzed Immerwahr wobbly frequencies that sound like how you might imagine microwave towers,” Immerwahr recalls finding fault in nearly every aspect of Codeine’s performance McMackin tried to suss out the audio problem thinking Immerwahr might have simply been bothered by a mechanical sound in the control room Neither Brokaw nor Engle detected the whinnying noise so they wondered if Immerwahr was merely unhappy with his vocals perhaps overburdened by his expectations for what Codeine could be To wit: He only spotted the sound on his tracks ‘Why can’t we just take an afternoon and have Steve try doing the vocals again?’” Brokaw says “We were working toward making a really fucking heavy new record For nearly 30 years, the session remained in that scrap heap. Codeine regrouped fast, finishing the six-song EP Barely Real by summer’s end. It became something of their landmark, a charming and popular oddity between their debut and their finale, 1994’s The White Birch. Brokaw bailed, however, before year’s end, in part to focus on his Matador-signed band Come but also because he was frustrated by burning through a Sub Pop advance only to discard a record he liked the second session Codeine had abandoned in its brief life “I wanted so much for the band to be great for the record to be great,” says Immerwahr “Wanting something really hard is not how you get it named for the studio that once seemed a curse Dessau arguably stands as the best of Codeine’s three albums a perfect snapshot of the existential anxiety that can arrive in one’s late 20s when adolescence fades far into the rearview Immerwahr seemed poised at the endless precipice of waiting for it all to unravel to find out that he wasn’t worthy of what he began to imagine for himself the trio managed a wondrous sense of restraint with Brokaw’s measured power and Englin’s gnarled elegance perfectly framing Immerwahr’s kind of rugged delicacy A new version of “Sea” opened The White Birch but it’s not as supple as this first draft; another “Jr” made it to Barely Real but this one arrives as a marvelous cascade “I wonder if there’ll come a time when your hand won’t fit in mine,” Immerwahr sings haltingly at the start of the album’s acoustic centerpiece “I Wonder,” a stunning ballad that didn’t make it to the subsequent albums the guarded insecurity still crackles on tape When so-called lost albums by familiar bands are found revisionist history always calls out in ready temptation: Where would Codeine have gone had what is now Dessau been released in 1992 as The White Birch Codeine doesn’t indulge in that speculation in 2022 Immerwahr just points out the difference medication has made in his life and how he might have been more stable had he found it at the time ‘I don’t really see this band lasting more than a year and a half who recorded every Codeine album despite this hiccup it feels like a parable against self-doubt and self-censure for not letting your neuroses get in your way “I have never been absolutely thrilled with anything I have ever done knowing there was no going back to try and ‘fix’ it The lens of the microscope gets blurry after 20 years.” to reflect on what might have been had we taken a different path in our professional life and choices contemplates the pros and cons of having studied and practised Law for a significant part of her career Presented by The Honourable Linda Dessau AC CVO The Flos Greig Lecture is named after Grata Flos Matilda Greig the first woman to be admitted to legal practice in Australia Greig’s determination advanced gender equality in the legal profession in Australia in the early twentieth century paving the way for other women to follow suit Upon graduating from the Melbourne Law School in 1903 Greig undertook her articles with Frank Cornwall later continuing her career with Cornwalls law firm The Honourable Linda Dessau AC CVO became the 29th Governor of Victoria on 1 July 2015 in 2019 it was announced that Her Majesty The Queen had approved a three-year extension to the Governor’s term until 30 June 2023 Ms Dessau had a distinguished career in the law as a solicitor Senior Crown Counsel in Hong Kong and as a magistrate in the Children’s Court the Coroners Court and the Magistrates’ Court Her final 18 years on the bench was as a judge in the Family Court of Australia she was involved in a wide range of community organisations President of the Melbourne International Arts Festival and a Trustee of the National Gallery of Victoria Ms Dessau became a Member of the Order of Australia for her contribution to family law she was made a Companion of the Order of Australia for eminent service to the people of Victoria through leadership roles in the judiciary to the advancement of economic ties and business relationships In 2022 she was awarded an honorary doctorate by La Trobe University she was appointed as a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order by King Charles III in recognition of her service as Governor of Victoria Watch next video
