  The Thermidorian Reaction -...

  Maximilien Robespierre was one of the most influential figures in the French Revolution, known for his uncompromising ideals and his central role in the Reign of Terror. His journey to power began in the late 18th century when he became involved in political life during the early stages of the Revolution. Robespierre’s rise was fueled by his belief in the revolutionary principles of liberty, equality, and fraternity, which he argued should be upheld at any cost, even if that meant the use of violence. 
  Born in 1758 in Arras, Robespierre came from a relatively humble background. He was educated at the College of Louis-le-Grand in Paris, where he developed an interest in law and politics. His education and his early career as a lawyer played a significant role in shaping his later political philosophy. He was known for his eloquence and his ability to persuade others, often advocating for social justice, the rights of the common people, and opposition to corruption. These early convictions aligned with the revolutionary ideals that emerged in the wake of the financial crisis and political instability that plagued France in the late 18th century. 
  In 1789, when the Estates-General convened, Robespierre became a representative of the Third Estate, which included the common people of France. He quickly gained attention for his passionate speeches advocating for reforms, such as universal suffrage and the abolition of the monarchy. His ideas resonated with many of the revolutionaries who sought to overturn the existing political system. Robespierre’s reputation grew as he joined the Jacobin Club, a political group that played a central role in shaping the revolutionary agenda. His alliance with the Jacobins and his tireless advocacy for the principles of equality and justice won him a position as a member of the Committee of Public Safety, the body responsible for overseeing the defense of the revolution.

  The Upside-Down World - Meetings...

  Arriving as a young writer in an ancient Dutch town, Benjamin Moser found himself visiting—casually at first, and then more and more obsessively—the country's great museums. 
   
   
   
  Beyond the sainted Rembrandt—who harbored a startling darkness—and the mysterious Vermeer, whose true subject, it turned out, was lurking in plain sight, Moser got to know a whole galaxy of geniuses: the doomed virtuoso Carel Fabritius, the anguished wunderkind Jan Lievens, the deaf prodigy Hendrik Avercamp. 
   
   
   
  Year after year, as he tried to make a life for himself in the Netherlands, Moser found friends among these centuries-dead artists. And he found that they, too, were struggling with the same questions that he was. Why do we make art? What even is art, anyway—and what is an artist? What does it mean to succeed as an artist, and what does it mean to fail? 
   
   
   
  The Upside-Down World is an invitation to ask these questions, and to turn them on their heads: to look, and then to look again. This is Holland and its great artists as we've never seen them before. And it's a highly personal coming-of-age-story, twenty years in the making: a revealing self-portrait by one of the most acclaimed writers of his generation.

  The Transylvania Quiz lets you immerse yourself in a history that is little known and even less told. The quiz contributes to international understanding between Germans, Hungarians and Romanians and gives insight into the different perspectives on Transylvania in a playful way.
  Despite its rich history, culture, landscape and personalities, Transylvania is often associated with Dracula, the film Hotel Transylvania, which takes place in Dracula's castle, or vampires. However, Transylvania is so much more.
  Transylvania has a unique culture and history. The land of Transylvania is a melting pot of many peoples and has produced great personalities such as musicians, poets, scientists as well as Olympic champions. However, it is not only rich in culture, history and personalities, but also in a picturesque landscape, which is home to a great treasure of raw materials.
  Learn more about the history, culture, language, coexistence of Germans, Hungarians, Szekler and Romanians, the geography, economy, political situation and generally about the current situation in Transylvania in the Transylvania Quiz. The quiz highlights the living situation of the Transylvanian Saxons, Szekler, Hungarians and Romanians in Transylvania. However, the quiz does not only exemplarily illustrate the life situation of the population groups in Transylvania, but also of the Transylvanian Saxons, Hungarians, Romanians and Szekler outside of Transylvania. For example, the player learns about the Transylvanian Saxons in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Canada or the USA.
  Transylvania has a lot to offer and the Transylvanian quiz awaits you with many questions. History is more than just the past, it explains the present and gives us ideas for the future.
  The quiz game is a game for young and old. It can be guessed and puzzled with the whole family and friends. But Transylvania Quiz as a tool can also be used by teachers to accompany and complement lessons.

  It's scary and stressful when it happens . . . noticing changes in your parent and becoming increasingly worried about their health and safety. Maybe it's Mom leaving the stove on, Dad getting lost on his way home, or unpaid bills that trigger this realization. Or perhaps there have been falls or emergency room visits. Whatever it is, you know something's wrong. You wonder about a diagnosis. And you want your aging parent to accept help, or perhaps move. 
   
   
   
  Helping an older parent can be gratifying. But it's especially hard if they're blowing off your concerns, refusing to make changes, or otherwise resisting your efforts. You want them to listen, but they get upset or withdraw when you try to talk about this. What to do? 
   
   
   
  You don't have to remain stuck in conflict with your parent (or other family members). You don't have to keep getting the runaround from doctors or feel stumped about next steps. Instead, use an expert's clear plan on how to help your aging parent. 
   
   
   
  Full of actionable advice and insider tips, When Your Aging Parent Needs Help provides practical and flexible steps that move concerned families toward effective elder care action, while respecting a parent's dignity and autonomy.
