Detail of the town hall bay window in Olomouc, Czech Republic. Many observers will probably be attracted at first glance by the fact that the entire bay window seems to rest on the shoulders of a bearded man, who is often considered to be the author of the building. This cantilever is so strongly reminiscent of the St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna that the beautiful Olomouc bay window is sometimes attributed to Anton Pilgram. Officially, however, the architect of the building is still unknown. Detail radničního arkýře v Olomouci. Mnohé pozorovatele pravděpodobně na první pohled zaujme fakt, že celý arkýř jakoby spočívá na ramenou vousatého muže, který bývá považován za autora stavby. Tato konzola natolik silně připomíná svatoštěpánský chrám ve Vídni, že bývá i krásný olomoucký arkýř někdy připisován Antonu Pilgramovi. Oficiálně je však architekt stavby nadále neznámý. Detail des Erkers des Rathauses in Olmütz, Tschechische Republik. Viele Betrachter werden wahrscheinlich auf den ersten Blick von der Tatsache angezogen, dass der gesamte Erker auf den Schultern eines bärtigen Mannes zu ruhen scheint, der oft als Urheber des Gebäudes angesehen wird. Dieser Ausleger erinnert so stark an den Stephansdom in Wien, dass der schöne Olmützer Erker manchmal Anton Pilgram zugeschrieben wird. Offiziell ist der Architekt des Gebäudes jedoch immer noch unbekannt. Деталь эркера ратуши в Оломоуце, Чешская Республика. Многих наблюдателей, вероятно, с первого взгляда привлечет тот факт, что весь эркер как бы покоится на плечах бородатого мужчины, которого часто считают автором здания. Эта консоль так сильно напоминает собор Святого Стефана в Вене, что прекрасный оломоуцкий эркер иногда приписывают Антону Пильграму. Однако официально архитектор здания до сих пор неизвестен. Détail de la baie vitrée de l'hôtel de ville d'Olomouc, République tchèque. De nombreux observateurs seront probablement frappés au premier abord par le fait que l'ensemble de la baie vitrée semble reposer sur les épaules d'un homme barbu, qui est souvent considéré comme l'auteur du bâtiment. Ce porte-à-faux rappelle si fortement la cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Vienne que la belle baie vitrée d'Olomouc est parfois attribuée à Anton Pilgram. Officiellement, cependant, l'architecte de l'édifice reste inconnu.

Mehr Energieeffizienz am Bau: "Langfristig Freude haben"

Augsburg: „…Beim Thema Energieeffizienz in der Baubranche herrscht viel Unsicherheit: Ein Finne macht mitten in Augsburg währenddessen ein denkmalgeschütztes Gebäude zum Vorzeigeprojekt – und bayerische Behörden wollen verstärkt informieren. Vielen Gebäuden im Augsburger Domviertel sieht man auf den ersten Blick ihre historische Bausubstanz an. Altbauten mit Sprossenfenstern und Fassaden voller…

That time police peed on food for hungry children...

Bobby Seale Checks Food Bags, 1972 - Howard Erker

Free Breakfast for Children Program and The People's Free Food Program, 1969-1980.

In the early years up to 36 programs were running nationwide, feeding tens of thousands of children and poor families. The great success of this program was viewed as a threat by FBI director J Edgar Hoover:

"Hoover recognized that through the program the Panthers captured the loyalty of many black children by giving them free breakfasts. He was also angry that the breakfast program won liberal whites’ and moderate blacks’ support for the Panthers. Hoover perversely justified FBI attempts to destroy the program because it “is potentially the greatest threat to efforts by authorities to destroy what it [the Black Panther Party] stands for.” The FBI’s attempts to destroy the program included sending forged letters to stores to discourage them from donating food, spreading rumors that the food was poisoned, and even raiding sites while children ate."

And then there's such as this:

Despite such as this, the programs continued helping people in need for many years.

The Seattle chapter of the Black Panther party was the last to hold out, members managing to continue the breakfast program until around 1980, even after the chapters own demise in 1977.

The Black Panther's food programs directly led to the development of the national school breakfast program, and has inspired community based revivals ever since.

Also:

Other less well known services also existed included a Free Shoe Program, and the People's Free Clothing Program which provided quality clothing to Black communities. This program helped children get winter clothing to attend school and helped adults find suitable attire when seeking employment.

Donald Padgett at The Advocate:

A state investigation into the Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital has expanded to target therapists and social workers who may have minors seeking gender-affirming care. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is seeking redacted or lightly redacted medical records of patients who received care at the facility. The state investigation of the center is one of many currently underway, including one by U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley. The move left the state’s trans and healthcare communities with concern over future access to gender-affirming care for transgender youth in the state, the Missouri Independent reported.

“The attorney general has created a hostile environment for medical providers where they are afraid to stay and practice medicine,” Katy Erker-Lynch, executive director of PROMO, an LGBTQ+ advocacy group in the state, said. Bailey is reviewing the records at the Missouri Division of Professional Registration which oversees the state’s medical licensing as part of the investigation. He had earlier targeted Planned Parenthood Great Plains and Children’s Mercy, a hospital in Kansas City. Bailey has reportedly interviewed 57 healthcare professionals in connection with the investigation. Licensed clinical social worker Kelly Storck spoke with senior investigator Nick McBroom as part of the investigation.

[...]

The Center earlier turned over a spreadsheet providing information regarding patients seeking gender-affirming care, including visits, medications, and other normally private information. The mother of one patient who received care at the Center, a 17-year-old trans boy named Levi, described the investigation as “invasive” and said it was causing unwarranted disruption in their lives. “The state has already basically disrupted our lives,” Becky Hormuth told the Independent. “They’ve disrupted our families, our children’s lives with the legislation that has passed. Then for him to continue going on is even more invasive and damaging.” After Missouri passed a ban on gender-affirming care for minors last year, Bailey issued an emergency rule banning similar care for trans adults as well. In the document laying out the policy, he said these treatments “lack solid evidentiary support” and ���pose very serious side effects.” He withdrew the rule when state lawmakers acted. Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, a Republican, signed the ban into law in June. It was quickly challenged in court, but a judge allowed it to go into effect.

Missouri AG Andrew Bailey (R) continues his farcical investigation into gender-affirming care providers, extending his targets to therapists and social workers who assist minors in obtaining gender-affirming care.

#782: Faculty Tower Breakdown

This one post is going to be small but very special to me. ^ ^

For quite some time, months I'll say, I've been wondering about how the castle's inside matches its outside. Where are the windows of professors' rooms? How to spot less obvious locations from outside the walls? Not at all a full comprehensive guide but still might be a helpful tip to the Slice of Life authors or anybody curious out there.

We'll start with a tidbit of my House — The Ravenclaw Tower.

The post has obnoxious amount of pictures.

Apologies for funny handwriting.

As you can see, the tower has floors for each year but only 4 of the 7 are accessible in-game. Floor plaques are also differently placed (6th year floor being reserved for the 5th year students) and you'd have to use imagination to fit in the bathrooms.

Ravenclaw Tower overlooks the Faculty Tower. Roughly put together, the most notable locations of the Tower are these:

To put it all into a perspective that is likely to be seen in-game: the view from an archway leading out to the Entrance Hall courtyard.

As you can see, first floor staff gathering could oversee the Quad courtyard through the erker— oriel window. Professor Sharp has one as well but his view might be obstructed and limited due to its height.

Here's what our lovely Potions master could see through the oriel window:

And here is what he could see through the other window:

Hogwarts is easy to navigate outside by its windows. Each location has different kind and form of windows — or non at at all but that bit is for another day (if anybody is interested in a little continuation).

The wall of five closely put triple lancet windows seen conjoining the Clock Tower is the passageway seen outside the Hospital Wing:

Windows of the Hospital Wing are also very distinct by the sheer size and match the ~30 degree angle of the outer wall:

With a little bit of Ansel magic, we can with all certainty tell that the Prefects Bathroom is directly underneath the Hospital Wing:

And is located on the same level as the lower part of the passageway to the Clock Tower.

Knowing this, we can go down the helix, that is around the centre part of the Tower, and found ourselves here:

Down the stairs are Sharp's private quarters (if you scroll up to the Quad Courtyard pictures you'll notice 'balcony'; I was referring to this place specifically) and the same wall Hospital Wing, Prefects Bathroom and the Faculty Tower Staircase are facing.

Here is the better show of the area outside:

and from the inside:

Sharp's windows:

Bits of magic again to better understand the room's placement; interesting thing to notice: 1) Sharp's fireplace doesn't have functioning chimney at all; 2) his art room is directly above his bedroom; 3) the lower oriel window is the Faculty Tower's hall, meeting hall? Whatever; those two out-of-place windows are the ones on the floor where you can find Professor Onai and Professor Ronen's rooms.

Speaking of which.

Rooms of said professors 1) don't have any windows, 2) share a wall, 3) and both share a wall to the corridor leading to Gryffindor Common Room:

If you remember, Professor McGonagall could hear Gryffindor partying behind the wall of her chambers. 🤭

Underneath the floor are Professor Fig and Professor Garlic's chambers:

A better look on the windows in professors' bedrooms:

If you think something doesn't add up on that wall, it is. The lower part isn't displaying the helix on the right correctly; the windows should've been following the curve of the stairs. I would attach the pictures proving it but only 30 are allowed per post so. .—.
