Iconclass is a specialized library classification designed for art and iconography. It was conceived by Henri van de Waal, was further developed by a group of scholars after his death; the Iconclass system is one of the largest classification system for cultural content and the largest for visual arts content. Designed for historical imagery, it is now used to create subject access to texts and to classify a wide range of images, including modern photography. At the moment it contains over 28,000 unique concepts and has an entry vocabulary of 14,000 keywords. Like the Dewey Decimal Classification system, it has 10 main "divisions" or points of entry, these are: 0 Abstract, Non-representational Art 1 Religion and Magic 2 Nature 3 Human being, Man in general 4 Society, Culture 5 Abstract Ideas and Concepts 6 History 7 Bible 8 Literature 9 Classical Mythology and Ancient HistoryEach division has 9 or 10 subdivisions, so on, it can be consulted with the help of the available Iconclass 2100 browser.

Iconclass was developed in the Netherlands as a standard classification for recording collections, with the idea of assembling huge databases that will allow the retrieval of images featuring particular details, subjects or other common factors. It was developed in the 1970s and was loosely based on the Dewey Decimal System because it was meant to be used in art library card catalogs; the iconclass code represents a concept and objects can be assigned a code indicating that the object depicts that concept. For example, the iconclass code "71H7131" is for the subject of "Bathsheba with David's letter"; the code is built from "7" for bible, "71" for "Old Testament", "71H" the "story of David", "71H7" for "David and Bathsheba", "71H71" for "David observing Bathsheba bathing", "71H713" for "Bathsheba receiving a letter from David". To see all images in the RKDimages database that depict "Bathsheba receiving a letter from David", the associated iconclass code 71H713 can be used as a special search term.

On selecting one of these paintings and viewing its record in RKDimages, the code 71H713 can be seen under two sections. Everyone with an account can add to the iconclass hierarchy; some of these hierarchies are quite detailed, such as for stories of the Old Testament that were popular in the arts during the 17th-century. The problems of using iconclass codes for concepts is. In the previous search example for 71H713 in the RKDimages database, the painting record for Rembrandt's Bathsheba in the Louvre was excluded from the search, because the iconclass code assigned to that painting in the RKDimages database is not 71H713, but 71H7131, searching for that code will result in other images to be returned. A number of collections of different types have been classified using Iconclass, notably many types of old master print, the collections of the Gemäldegalerie and the German Marburger Index; these can be matched to each other through the iconclass "hierarchy of somethings" to the current classification structure of the holder's collection.

Completed iconclass projects are available online, but published on DVD. Ideally however, iconclass coding is never finished, as it is possible to keep adding codes to the system to identify more concepts; the system can be used outside pure art history, though it is most used in museum websites. The content of Iconclass is maintained by the Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie; the online Iconclass browser is developed by the Henri van de Waal Foundation.

Erhard Eppler was a German Social Democratic politician and founder of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit. He studied English and history in Frankfurt, Bern and Tübingen, achieved a PhD and worked as a teacher, he met Gustav Heinemann in the late 1940s. Eppler was a member of the Bundestag from 1961 to 1976, he was appointed Minister for Economic Cooperation first in 1968 during the grand coalition of Kurt Georg Kiesinger and Willy Brandt, continuing under Chancellor Brandt in 1969 and Chancellor Helmut Schmidt in 1974, when he stepped down. An early thinker on environmental sustainability and peace movements, Eppler was involved in various controversies within his party, he was president of the Deutscher Evangelischer Kirchentag from 1981 to 1983 and again from 1989 to 1991. Born in Ulm on 9 December 1926, Eppler grew up in Schwäbisch Hall where his father was the headmaster of the local grammar school, his grandfather was pastor at the Ulmer Münster. During World War II, Eppler served from 1943 to 1945 in an anti-aircraft unit.

He passed his Abitur in 1946, studied English and history at the Frankfurt University, in Bern and in Tübingen. In 1951, he completed his PhD with a thesis on Elizabethan tragedy, he worked as a teacher at the Gymnasium in Schwenningen from 1953 until 1961. Eppler became a member of the NSDAP in September 1943, at the age of 16, he spoke of this decision as "stupidity", but said, "It wasn't against my will that I ended up on some list, but I accepted it. Things were like that in those times."While he was studying in Bern at the end of the 1940s, Eppler got to know Gustav Heinemann, one of the founders of the Christian Democratic Union. Heinemann became Minister of the Interior from 1949 to 1950, but left the cabinet, the CDU, together with several other party members who disagreed with Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's policy of complete integration into the Western world. Eppler joined Heinemann's new party, the All-German People's Party, in 1952, but like most members of the GVP, including Heinemann, he changed over to the Social Democratic Party of Germany in 1956.

For most of the time between 1970 and 1991 Eppler belonged to the SPD's National Executive Committee. He chaired an SPD commission on tax reform, from 1973 to 1991 served on a commission for formulating the party's basic values, where he supported opposition to atomic energy. From 1973 to 1981 Eppler was the leader of the regional SPD in Baden-Württemberg, he was the SPD's candidate for the office of minister-president in that state, but his party was defeated by the CDU in two the state elections.

Eppler has always been considered to be an proponent of the left within the SPD. During Gerhard Schröder's second term as Chancellor, however, he supported the government's economic and social reforms, which were criticized as neo-liberal. Moreover, although he had been close to the peace movement of the 1980s, he supported the foreign policy of the Schröder government and approved of German participation in the military interventions in Kosovo in 1999 and Afghanistan since 2001, he was an early adopter of views about environmental protection. In spite of his general loyalty to his party's leadership, he was unhappy with much of its economic policy during the party's time in power. In his book Not much time for the Third World, Eppler was one of the first to point out the connections between environmental protection and international development. After his withdrawal from federal politics, Eppler involved himself more in his work in the Protestant Church. From 1981 to 1983 and again from 1989 to 1991, he was president of the Deutscher Evangelischer Kirchentag.

Eppler was a member of the Wacholderhof Association, which promotes international cooperation, fair trade, environmental sustainability. Eppler's numerous publications show his political and social involvement, they deal with a wide range of subjects that concern not only the political situation in Germany and the economy but general questions of developments in politics and society.

Farmers' lore jokes is a category of German humour. They are a parody of the weather lore, or farmers' lore and are told in its traditional rhymed style. There are two variants: one is about weather, but the rule is absurd or tautologous. Wenn noch dann isses wohl vergesse worn. Ists an Silvester hell und klar, dann ist am nächsten Tag Neujahr. Regnet es im Juli in den Roggen, bleibt der Weizen auch nicht trocken! Liegt der Bauer tot im Zimmer, lebt er nimmer. Wenn der Bauer zum Waldrand hetzt. - "If a farmer rushes to the woods, the outhouse is occupied."In fact, while many real Bauernregeln sound funny, they carry the grain of truth, so sometimes it is hard to tell, whether it is a parody or an ancient wisdom:Hört Waltraud nicht den Kuckuck schrein, dann muss er wohl erfroren sein Referering to April 19, the feast day of Saint Waltrude, this wit alludes to the possibility of a snapback of cold in April Wenn der Hahn kräht auf dem Mist, dann ändert sich das Wetter, oder es bleibt wie es ist. It is a poke at a well-known nonreliability of weather forecasts.

Wird es Frühling da und riecht es streng von den Aborten. Indeed, in the countryside spring brings the smells not only of flowers a-blooming, but of outhouses thawed off. Bauernregeln humour is used by a number of comedy shows and comedians, including Die Harald Schmidt Show, Günter Willumeit, "Sepp Schnorcher" character played by Christian Schwab at the Ö3-Wecker radio programme, who parodied Austrian Sepp Forcher's Klingendes Österreich
