Carl Frederik Peder Aagaard (29 January 1833 – 2 November 1895) was a Danish landscape painter and decorative artist. He studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and under P. C. Skovgaard. Many of his paintings focused on spots frequented by tourists.
Together with Hilker, he decorated the entrance hall at the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University, which has recently been restored. With Heinrich Hansen, he painted decorative borders for works by Wilhelm Marstrand in the chapel at Roskilde Cathedral. By himself, he worked at Frijsenborg, the Dagmar Theater [da] and the National Scala.
As a landscape painter, he had his first exhibit in 1857 and was awarded the Neuhausenske Prize [da]. In 1865, he became the first recipient of the Sødringske Opmuntrings Prize [da] for landscape painters with his work depicting an autumn morning at the Jægersborg Dyrehave, which was purchased by the National Gallery of Denmark. During the 1870s, he made two extended trips to Italy to sketch landscapes.

How "religious conflict leads to religious tolerance"

"More and more, at least here in the United States, Catholics and Protestants, Jews and Gentiles, are learning the grandest of all lessons — that they can best serve their God by serving their fellow men, and best serve their fellow-men, not by wrangling among themselves.. that there should be toleration of religious differences or a divorce between the functions of the State and the Church.. the aspiration after higher things took the form of spiritual unrest. It must always be remembered that the Protestant sects which established themselves in the northern half of Europe, although they warred in the name of religious liberty, had no more conception of it, as we of this day understand it, than their Catholic foes; and yet it must also be remembered that the bitter conflicts they waged prepared the way for the wide tolerance of individual difference in matters of religious belief which is among the greatest blessings of our modem life." (Roosevelt, 1900)

The Communist lesbian and gay liberation strategy

The Communist gay liberation revolution strategy published by "Worker's Power" Group (1988), included the following goals for the Marxist initiative: "Abolish all laws - gross indecency, soliciting
outrages to public decency, insulting behaviour in all laws relating to prostitution"; "No compulsory testing for AIDS"; "Abolish the age of consent... [for] sex between individuals"; "We fight all immigration controls by the British State"; "Against the poisonous fumes of nationalism we fight for a consistently internationalist policy."

The Don Lancers

The Don River was called Tanais by classical writers when it was home to Scythians and Sarmatians. It held a centuries long tradition for mounted warriors armed with lances, as depicted on an ancient bone relic. The Cossacks from the Don also populated new Cossack communities on the Kuban, the Terek in Astrakhan, and the Urals. After the loss of the last Don Cossack state in the Russian revolution, many formed communities elsewhere in Europe and America.
