Niederhausen is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Bad Kreuznach district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Rüdesheim, whose seat is in the like-named town. Niederhausen is a state-recognized tourism community (Fremdenverkehrsort) and a winegrowing village. Geography Location At an elevation of 150 m above sea level, Niederhausen lies on the Nahe where it marks the division between the outlying edge of the Hunsrück and the North Palatine Uplands. The village lies on a south-facing slope on a reach of the river that is dammed up and consequently 120 m wide. Neighbouring municipalities Clockwise from the north, Niederhausen's neighbours are the municipalities of Hüffelsheim and Norheim, the town of Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg and the municipalities of Feilbingert, Oberhausen an der Nahe and Schloßböckelheim, all of which likewise lie within the Bad Kreuznach district.

10_1

Constituent communities Also belonging to Niederhausen are the outlying homesteads of Hermannshöhle and Ehemalige Weinbaudomäne (“Former Winegrowing Domain”).

History

10_3

In 1238, Niederhausen had its first documentary mention. It is, however, certain that this place was already settled by Roman times (about AD 200), bearing witness to which are various archaeological finds. Niederhausen belonged as an Electoral Mainz fief to the Counts of Veldenz, and the first documentary mention renders its name Unters Husen. The last of the Counts of Veldenz, namely Friedrich III, died in 1444. His daughter Anna married King Ruprecht's son Count Palatine Stephan. By uniting his own Palatine holdings with the now otherwise heirless County of Veldenz – his wife had inherited the county upon her father's death in 1444, but not his comital title – and by redeeming the hitherto pledged County of Zweibrücken, Stephan founded a new County Palatine, as whose comital residence he chose the town of Zweibrücken: the County Palatine of Zweibrücken, later Duchy Palatinate-Zweibrücken. Beginning then, the village belonged to this state, and in 1768 it passed by partition to

10_4

Electoral Palatinate. Niederhausen thus long belonged to states ruled by the House of Wittelsbach. In the time of the French Revolution, the village was absorbed, along with all the German lands on the Rhine’s left bank, into the French state. Niederhausen lay in the new Canton of Kreuznach, the Arrondissement of Simmern and the Department of Rhin-et-Moselle. Under the terms of the Congress of Vienna, on 28 May 1815, Niederhausen passed to the Kingdom of Prussia. Borderstones marking the former boundary between this state and the neighbouring Kingdom of Bavaria can still be seen along Niederhausen’s southern limit. In the years 1926-1928, the Wasserkraftwerke Niederhausen GmbH built a hydroelectric power station right near the village. The weir, made up of three spans, near the former railway station backs the water up so that it will flow along a 760 m-long channel to the power station. In the course of administrative restructuring in Rhineland-Palatinate, Niederhausen was grouped

10_5

into the Verbandsgemeinde of Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg in 1969. From the Middle Ages right up to about 1880, there was much prospecting around Niederhausen in the volcanic rock for copper and even silver.

10_6

Population development Niederhausen’s population development since Napoleonic times is shown in the table below. The figures for the years from 1871 to 1987 are drawn from census data: Religion As at 30 November 2013, there are 572 full-time residents in Niederhausen, and of those, 326 are Evangelical (56.993%), 150 are Catholic (26.224%), 1 belongs to the Palatinate State Free Religious Community (0.175%), 10 (1.748%) belong to other religious groups and 85 (14.86%) either have no religion or will not reveal their religious affiliation. Politics Municipal council The council is made up of 12 council members, who were elected by majority vote at the municipal election held on 7 June 2009, and the honorary mayor as chairman. Mayor Niederhausen's mayor is Christine Mathern. Coat of arms The German blazon reads: Das Wappen zeigt einen blauen Rundschild mit drei goldenen Trauben und goldenen Weinstockblättern, darüber eine goldene Krone.

10_7

The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Azure three bunches of grapes each slipped and leafed of one fixed in triangle Or, in chief a crown of the same adorned with rubies.

10_8

On 5 October 1950, Niederhausen was granted approval by the Rhineland-Palatinate Minister of the Interior to bear arms. It may well be one of the few coats of arms in Rhineland-Palatinate that so clearly expresses a winegrowing village's character. Moreover, it shows the importance and standing that are accorded the Qualitätswein made here. All this is represented by the main charge, the three bunches of grapes. The other charge, the crown in chief (the uppermost level of the shield) refers not only to the village's former patron saint Mechtildis, whose crown also appeared in the old court seal, but also to the marketing slogan for the Nahe wine region: Nahewein – Ein Edelstein (“Nahe wine – a precious stone”). The connection, however, is lost in the translation. The crown is held to remind one of the Edelstein, as this German word for “precious stone” literally means “noble stone”. Culture and sightseeing

10_12

Hydroelectric power station, on the Nahe, partly within Norheim’s limits – reservoir with dikes, weir with bridge and four towers, hydroelectric power station with machine hall and machinist's house, 1930s/1950s (see also below) Vineyard house – eight-sided plastered building, 19th century Vineyard house – half-round tower with Gothic elements, quarrystone, late 19th century

10_13

More about buildings and sites Parish church The parish church with its girding wall and defensive tower comes mainly from the 12th century; the quire is Gothic. It was consecrated to Saint Mechtildis, whose reputed grave here was the object of pilgrimage even into Protestant times, up to about 1575. Indeed, Mechtildis even still appeared in the village's court seal from 1632. Well known are the frescoes in the tower chapel. In 1940, even older, Romanesque, wall paintings were discovered in the nave. These had been whitewashed out on the Meisenheim church administration's orders in 1669. They also had the altars and baptismal font smashed up.

10_14

Power station

10_15

The three-span, 75 m-long weir raises the River Nahe's water behind it by roughly 6 m, thereby forming a reservoir some 5 km long. Even today, RWE still runs a hydroelectric power station here, supplied by a 600 m-long headrace. The sod was turned on 20 December 1926, and the power station was brought into service on 18 March 1928. The high dikes on both sides ensure that the village is effectively safe from flooding. This protection has since been reinforced with the addition of a mobile barrier. In the beginning, the reservoir's volume was roughly 900 000 m³, but this has since been markedly reduced over the last few decades by sedimentation. The power station's generating capacity has a maximum of 1 900 kW, generating a yearly average of 5 232 240 kWh. The reservoir's area is roughly 30 ha. This enormous intrusion into the natural environment in the Nahe's water gap, however, has brought about its own microclimate of almost Mediterranean character, which is especially conducive to

10_16

winegrowing.

10_17

Schmittenstollen

10_18

The Lemberg, with an elevation of 420 m above sea level, is the highest peak in the Nahe valley region. It harbours among other mining points of interest a cultural-historical gem: a mediaeval cinnabar mine, the Schmittenstollen, the only mercury mine in Western Europe that has been developed into a visitable mine. The former worship site on the Lemberg that was consecrated to the god Mercury suggests that quicksilver was being mined here even in Roman times. Evidence, though, only exists for mining as far back as the 15th century, with three great periods of working, the last from 1936 to 1942, during which cinnabar was mined. In the gallery that is open to the public, the visitor can make out the sections that were worked in the Late Middle Ages by hammer and pick as well as those that were worked in the 20th century by machine and with explosives. This underground experience gives the visitor a taste of what it was like for generations of miners who worked the cinnabar mine over

10_19

the centuries. The Schmittenstollen is open from April to October.

10_20

Sport and leisure The Weinwanderweg (“Wine Hiking Trail”) with a total length of about 4.6 km has gathered up more than 340 members worldwide, making it the village's biggest club. Many members busy themselves expanding and maintaining this educational path that leads through Niederhausen's various vineyards. Unfortunately, what they must often deal with is the damage wrought by vandals. The membership, though, does its best to put everything back in order. Economy and infrastructure

10_21

Transport Running through Niederhausen is Landesstraße 235, and it is met in the village centre by Kreisstraße 56. Landesstraße 235 leads to Bundesstraße 48 at Bad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg, which leads to Bad Kreuznach and, after an interchange onto Bundesstraße 41, the Autobahn A 61 (Koblenz–Ludwigshafen) just beyond. Serving neighbouring Norheim is a railway station on the Nahe Valley Railway (Bingen–Saarbrücken). This same line actually likewise runs through Niederhausen, but the station there is no longer served.

10_22

Winegrowing Niederhausen's structure is characterized mainly by winegrowing. Twelve individual winegrowing locations – Einzellagen – are distributed among roughly 120 ha of vineyards. One of the best known winegrowing operations was the Königlich-Preußische Weinbaudomäne Niederhausen-Schloßböckelheim (“Royal Prussian Winegrowing Domain”). It was already fostering winegrowing in the 19th century, especially against the phylloxera plague introduced from the United States along with the rise in fungal pests. This winegrowing domain gave Nahe wines added strength on the market, having before been sold under other names such as “Rüdesheimer” (referring to Rüdesheim am Rhein rather than Rüdesheim an der Nahe) or “Rhine Wine”, having no well known identity of its own. Among Niederhausen's wineries are the following: Weingut Daum Weingut-Gästehaus Franzmann Weingut Lindenhof Weingut Mathern Weingut Jakob Schneider References External links

Sir Stephen Sedley (born 9 October 1939) is a British lawyer. He worked as a judge of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales from 1999 to 2011 and is currently a visiting professor at the University of Oxford. Background Sedley's father was Bill Sedley (1910–1985), of a Jewish immigrant family, who operated a legal advice service in the East End of London in the 1930s. In the Second World War he served in North Africa and Italy with the Eighth Army. Bill Sedley founded the firm of lawyers of Seifert and Sedley in the 1940s with Sigmund Seifert and was a lifelong Communist. Sir Stephen's younger brother is Professor David Sedley. Legal career After graduation from Queens' College, Cambridge, Sedley was called to the Bar (Inner Temple) in 1964 and practised in Cloisters chambers with John Platts-Mills, David Turner-Samuels and Michael Mansfield.

11_1

Sedley had a particular interest in the development of administrative law (the judicial review of governmental and administrative decision making). He was involved in cases which broadened the scope of judicial review and established the modern procedure for judicial review, and in ground-breaking cases in relation to employment rights, sex and race discrimination, prisoners' rights, coroners' inquests, immigration and asylum and freedom of speech. He was counsel in many high-profile cases and inquiries, from the death of Blair Peach and the Carl Bridgewater murder appeal to the Helen Smith inquest and the contempt hearing against Kenneth Baker, then Home Secretary. In 1976, Sedley attended, as one of a group of "observers", the "Luanda Trial", sometimes called "the Mercenaries' Trial", held by the then recently-victorious MPLA government in Luanda, Angola.

11_2

He became a QC in 1983. He was appointed a High Court judge in 1992, serving in the Queen's Bench Division. In 1999 he was appointed to the Court of Appeal as a Lord Justice of Appeal. He was a Judge ad hoc of the European Court of Human Rights and a Member ad hoc of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. His retirement from the Court of Appeal in 2011 coincided with the publication of a collection of his essays and lectures. Notable judicial opinions As a first instance judge, Sedley delivered important judgments in the field of administrative law, notably in relation to the concept of legitimate expectation as a ground for judicial review, and the duty to give reasons.

11_3

In the Court of Appeal he was one of the first English judges to recognise the right of privacy as an aspect of human autonomy and dignity, and was influential in developing the now well-established principle of proportionality (which he described as a "metwand" for balancing competing rights) in the fields of human rights and judicial review. His dissenting judgments in two appeals in 2008 concerning anti-terrorist measures were eventually to be vindicated on appeal to the House of Lords and in the first appeal to be heard by the Supreme Court in 2009. His judgment in the Chagos Islanders litigation developed the ambit of modern judicial review, and in a judgment in 2010 he developed his view that the basis for judicial review is to control abuse of power. He also made a number of judgments in the field of immigration and asylum law. Always interested in freedom of speech his judgments also made important contributions to the modernisation of libel law. His formulation of the real

11_4

significance of freedom of expression in a case involving the unlawful arrest of a street preacher has been much quoted: "Free speech includes not only the inoffensive but the irritating, the contentious, the eccentric, the heretical, the unwelcome and the provocative provided it does not tend to provoke violence. Freedom only to speak inoffensively is not worth having."

11_5

Sedley's Laws of Documents He formulated what has come to be known as "Sedley's Laws of Documents" after experiencing the tribulations of litigation:

11_6

Documents may be assembled in any order, provided it is not chronological, numerical or alphabetical. Documents shall in no circumstances be paginated continuously. No two copies of any bundle shall have the same pagination. Every document shall carry at least 3 numbers in different places. Any important documents shall be omitted. At least 10 per cent of the documents shall appear more than once in the bundle. As many photocopies as practicable shall be illegible, truncated or cropped. Significant passages shall be marked with a highlighter which goes black when photocopied. (a) At least 80 per cent of the documents shall be irrelevant. (b) Counsel shall refer in Court to no more than 5 per cent of the documents, but these may include as many irrelevant ones as counsel or solicitor deems appropriate. Only one side of any double-sided document shall be reproduced.

11_7

Transcriptions of manuscript documents and translations of foreign documents shall bear as little relation as reasonably practicable to the original. Documents shall be held together, in the absolute discretion of the solicitor assembling them, by: a steel pin sharp enough to injure the reader; a staple too short to penetrate the full thickness of the bundle; tape binding so stitched that the bundle cannot be fully opened; or a ring or arch-binder, so damaged that the arcs do not meet.

11_8

Important articles Sedley has provoked considerable debate about the role of government in collecting and keeping DNA samples. At present criminal suspects detained by the police in the UK are automatically given cheek swabs and their DNA kept, in perpetuity, by the government. This has created the situation where different races are differently represented in the United Kingdom National DNA Database. On the grounds that this situation is indefensible, Lord Justice Sedley discussed the case for a blanket DNA collection policy, including collecting samples from all visitors to the UK. Ian McEwan said of Ashes and Sparks: Essays on Law and Justice (Cambridge University Press, 2011) "you could have no interest in the law and read his book for pure intellectual delight, for the exquisite, finely balanced prose, the prickly humor, the knack of artful quotation and an astonishing historical grasp".

11_9

In February 2012, the London Review of Books published an essay by Sedley in which he criticized soon-to-be Supreme Court Justice Jonathan Sumption's FA Mann lecture. In this lecture, Sumption had argued that the judiciary had overstepped the boundary between its legitimate judicial function and illegitimate political decision making in the context of the remedy of judicial review. The critique centred on Sedley's conceptions of the precise interplay of the judicial, legislative, and executive branches, and made reference to the grey areas within which Parliament had not expressed any set opinion.

Didier Ruef (born 1961) is a Swiss documentary photographer best known for his portrayal of man and waste, recycle and sustainability, Africa, man and animals, Swiss alpine farmers and contemporary Switzerland. Life and career Didier Ruef was born in Geneva, Switzerland on July 15, 1961. He graduated from the University of Geneva, where he studied Economics (1981–1984). In 1985, Ruef went to New York, where he obtained a diploma (1986) in photojournalism at the International Center of Photography (ICP). It was there that he developed his long-term essay of the life of a Puerto Rican family in Spanish Harlem, for which he won the Yann Geoffroy Prize in Milan in 1990. These photographs were exhibited at the Musée de l'Élysée in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1990.

12_1

Since returning to Switzerland in 1987, Ruef started to work as a freelance documentary photographer and photojournalist and has visited all five continents, with a preference for Africa. He has worked on various stories on the human condition in black & white and color. Ruef was a member of Network Photographers Agency in London from 1991 to 1997. He was a founding member in September 2002 of the Swiss photo agency, Pixsil, which he left in July 2009. Today he works as a freelance photographer, but he is also represented worldwide by the photo agencies Luz Photo Agency, Visum Foto and Redux Pictures. Ruef has worked with Médecins Sans Frontières, the Global Fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, Heks (Interchurch Aid), Swiss Red Cross, the Syngenta Foundation and the World Council of Churches. Ruef's pictures are published in numerous magazines and newspapers in Europe, Asia and Northern America.

12_2

He won the King Albert Memorial Foundation Prize in 2000 for his book on Swiss mountain farmers (Bauern am Berg, Paysans de nos montagnes, Vita di montagna). This award, among other prizes, was the culmination of a long-term personal project which began in 1993 and completed in 1997. It was made possible with the support of Pro Helvetia for the photography and book in 1998, and an itinerant exhibition which toured Switzerland, Italy, Singapore and Jordan between 1999 and 2002. In 2000 and 2001, Ruef was commissioned by the Swiss branch of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) for an extensive photographic report on daily life in six African countries. These pictures, together with those from numerous other African essays form the basis of a book Afrique Noire, published in 2005. An itinerant exhibition toured Switzerland and France between 2005 and 2007.

12_3

In 2007, he was commissioned by the Swiss Foundation DiDé, Dignité en Détention, for a book Enfants Prisonniers on the minors’ jail in Gitarama, Rwanda. From 1991 to 2011, he has also been involved in a personal project worldwide on the relationship between Man and Waste. He has shot twenty photo essays and has finally published in 2011 the book Recycle, Labor et Fides (French-English) and Edizioni Casagrande (Italian-German). In 2018, he has published the book Homo Helveticus by Till Schaap Edition on his beloved country Switzerland. In 2021, he has published the book 2020. by Till Schaap Edition in which he shot a picture a day - 366 images - during the entire 2020 year.

Sophie Delaporte, born in 1971, is a French visual artist, photographer and director who began her career in the early 2000s by publishing her first fashion series in the British press, and especially in iD Magazine. Noticed for her research around color and movement, Sophie Delaporte  takes an early interest on the issue of women’s representation. She was invited in June 2019 for the Dora Maar exhibition by the centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, to take part in a « table ronde » about women’s place and inclusion in Art, and their representation in the women’s Press Magazine ( with Sacha Van Dorssen and Mathieu Meyer ). Biography After a scientific High School Diploma and mathematics studies at Jussieu, Sophie Delaporte passed the examination for l’École Nationale Supérieure Louis Lumière (ENSLL). Graduated from the ENSLL, Sophie Delaporte studied Photography History at Paris VIII University and at l’École du Louvre.

13_1

After graduating she moved to London and began working for the English press. Very soon Terry Jones, artistic director of i-D magazine, entrusted her with her first fashion series. (Fashion Now 2) Her photos were exhibited as early as 2002 at the Marion Meyer Gallery during the Month of Photography in Paris (introduction text by Martin Harrison). Franca Sozzani of Italian Vogue asked her to do her first beauty series (Water Therapy) for the magazine, with which she will collaborate regularly. Her photographs appeared in magazines such as Vogue Italia, Uomo Vogue, Vogue Portugal, Vogue Deutschland, Vogue Turkey, Vogue Japan, I-D magazine, Another Magazine and Interview in the United States. She collaborates with houses such as Hermès (Hermès Missy Rayder), Lancôme, Balenciaga, Courrèges (Eau Hyper Fraîche), John Galliano, Le Bon Marché or Astier de Villatte (Astier de Villatte, Lou Doillon).

13_2

Her work has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions around the world, notably in New York (SLE Gallery in 2009, 2011 and 2016), Tokyo (at Gallery 21 in 2010) and London (Scream Gallery, 2008) and at many international fairs (such as Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary Art Fair, Miami in 2019 and 2020). Historian and photography critic Vicki Goldberg wrote about her in September 2011, on the occasion of the Nudes exhibition in New York: “Sophie Delaporte is a French photographer who is on permanently good terms with fantasy and a cheerfully offbeat approach. She has a distinctive sense of color, a fabulist’s imagination, an edge of surrealism, and a knack for ambiguous narrative”. Tim Newman asked her to think about a concept and to realize fifty small short films for France Télévision, about creation in France.

13_3

In March 2015, Sophie Delaporte exhibited “True Colors” at the Joseph Gallery, a set of videos and photographs dealing with issues such as air pollution and the presence of chemical dyes in the food industry with the performer Melissa Mourer Ordener. These videos were selected and shown at video Art festivals such as Les Instants Vidéos (Marseille) and the Traverse Video Festival at a screening that closed the festival at the Musée des Abattoirs in Toulouse. In May 2016, Sophie Delaporte exhibited "Post Modern Mysteries" in New York at the SLE Gallery, accompanied by an Artist Talk with the American photography historian Vicki Goldberg. Some of Sophie Delaporte’s photographs for Comme des Garçons appears in the book “Fashion Game Changers, Reinventing the 20th Century Silhouette”, published in May 2016 at Editions Bloomsbury and on the occasion of an exhibition at MoMU, Antwerp Museum early 2016.

13_4

In March 2018, Sophie Delaporte directed the Balenciaga SS 2018 Digital Campaign for which Demna Gvasalia proposes her to take over and continue a series inspired by the Land Art she made in the early 2000s for i-D magazine. Invited for the third edition of the Fashion Forum in November 2018, Sophie Delaporte participates in the round table “France térritoire de créativité mondiale” next to Christelle Kocher, Kate Fishard, Isaac Reina, Olivier Verrièle and Floriane de Saint Pierre. In June 2019, on the occasion of the Dora Maar exhibition, she was invited in June 2019 for the exhibition Dora Maar by the Centre Georges Pompidou, to take part in a round table on women’s place and inclusion in art, and on their representation in the women’s Press Magazine (with Sacha Van Dorssen and Mathieu Meyer).

13_5

The Grand Prix “Photography and Sustainability” organized by Paris Good Fashion and Eyes on Talents is awarded to her in November 2019 for her “Fragile Landscape” series, on the impact of the fashion industry on the environment and in particular water pollution by chemical dyes. Her photographs were shown on the gates of the Hotel de Ville de Paris, from 6 November to 3 December 2019, alongside to the other winners Andrew Nuding, Romain Roucoules, Kateryna Snizhko et Amir Tikriti.

Midland Park is a borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 7,128, reflecting an increase of 181 (+2.6%) from the 6,947 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 100 (-1.4%) from the 7,047 counted in the 1990 Census.

14_1

Midland Park was incorporated as a borough on September 6, 1894, at the height of the "Boroughitis" craze then sweeping through Bergen County that led to the creation of over two dozen new municipalities in the county in that one year alone. The new borough consisted of portions of both Franklin Township and Ridgewood Township. The borough expanded in April 1920 by adding another part of Franklin Township. In a referendum held on June 9, 1931, Midland Park acquired additional land from Wyckoff Township (which until 1926 had been known as Franklin Township). The borough says that Midland Park was named after the New Jersey Midland Railway, which operated the railroad passing through the area of the borough in the 1870s, though elsewhere the name is said to be based on being situated "amid Bergen hills".

14_2

Geography According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 1.58 square miles (4.09 km2), including 1.57 square miles (4.07 km2) of land and 0.01 square miles (0.02 km2) of water (0.51%). Unincorporated communities, localities and place names located partially or completely within the township include Wortendyke. The borough borders the Bergen County municipalities of Ridgewood, Waldwick and Wyckoff. The borough is divided by Prospect Street, a main road running north–south through the center of the town. Prospect Street is the southernmost end of what is otherwise known as Crescent Avenue (or West Crescent Avenue), which runs through Ramsey, Allendale, and Wyckoff. Neighborhoods Northside borders Waldwick and is the location of Midland Park High School. The Catholic church, Nativity, is also located on the Northside of the borough.

14_3

Wortendyke borders Wyckoff and is home to longtime retailers such as Rosario's, Romeo's Barber Stylists, and Creations by Fran, and other small businesses; this is the other, quieter downtown region of Midland Park, near Wortendyke Station. South Central is the industrial region of the town, with fewer households. It follows the Goffle Brook and the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway. Southeast is the home of the Midland Park Shopping Center and to many other businesses. Demographics 2010 census

Local government

14_8

Midland Park is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government, one of 218 municipalities (of the 565) statewide that use this form, the most commonly used form of government in the state. The governing body is comprised of a Mayor and a Borough Council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A Mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The Borough Council is comprised of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle. The Borough form of government used by Midland Park is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments
