Ahmad Fikri (Kontributor) shared information about the increased status of Mount Iya The community and visitors or tourists are advised not to approach the area and not to do any activities within a 3-kilometer radius from the active crater of Mount Iya avoid approaching the gas seepage holes around the crater to avoid the potential danger of toxic gases," said Wafid Wafid explained that the eruption character of Mount Iya is generally concentrated in the main crater in the form of magmatic eruptions and lava flows accompanied by collapses at the summit Wafid added that there are cracks that have the potential to cause landslides He mentioned that the cracks are developing around the active crater of Mount Iya "These cracks are likely to cause large landslides towards the sea if there is a upcoming eruption of Mount Iya," he said The Geological Agency noted that during the visual observations from October 1 to November 4 the monitoring of white and gray smoke originated from the main crater of Mount Iya with thin and high intensity ranging from 10-300 meters from the mountain peak Visual observation using drones on November 5 observed thin gray crater smoke with a height of about 50 meters from the peak of Mount Iya seismic activity observations during the period from October 1 to November 4 were dominated by harmonic tremors A significant increase in seismic activity in the form of deep volcanic tremors has been monitored since last August This significant increase in seismic activity indicates an increase in pressure inside Mount Iya due to the increased magmatic activity or the migration of magma from deep depths to shallow depths "This triggers the appearance of shallow earthquakes that can cause eruptions," said Wafid The Geological Agency recorded tremors starting from October 16 marking the movement or increase in magma pressure towards the surface "One should be wary if significant tectonic earthquakes are recorded around Mount Iya because they have the potential to affect the volcanic activity of Mount Iya," said Wafid Mount Iya has a height of 637 meters above sea level Mount Iya is a stratovolcano with eruption history recorded since 1671 The interval between eruptions is estimated between 1 year and 60 years The Geological Agency has placed the observatory post for Mount Iya in Tewejangga Editor's Choice: Eruption of Indonesia's Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki Kills 10, BPBD Reports Click here to get the latest news updates from Tempo on Google News Lenovo Set to Launch ThinkPad Aura Edition Series for Professionals in Indonesia Wikipedia: AI Will Not Replace Human Volunteers Retina Scanning for Crypto?

the scene is so upsetting that director Wolfgang Petersen was still countering a persistent rumor that the horse actor died during filming twenty years after the movie came out both of whom worked with a trainer for months to prepare for the scene expressing his terrible grief to a bewildered Atreyu “I can’t stand the sadness anymore,” he cries “I want to die!” Atreyu tries to give Artax Auryn insisting that Atreyu does not have permission to transfer the amulet to another person and must carry on alone he is increasingly implicated in Atreyu’s quest He is as devastated as Atreyu by the death of Artax; he seems at times to even see what Atreyu sees to experience what Atreyu experiences as if he is actually present in the Neverending Story he cries out a warning to Atreyu—and his cry is heard in the pages of the book.  Atreyu reaches the oracle Uyulala with the help of the luckdragon Falkor he must pass through a series of magical gates The reflection he sees in the mirror is unmistakably Bastian in his attic: “a fat little boy with a pale face… sitting on a pile of mats and he was wrapped in frayed grey blankets.” And when Atreyu loses his memories as he passes through the final gate it’s Bastian’s voice once more that crosses over into Fantastica and persuades him to keep going the Childlike Empress must be given a new name The catch: no Fantastican can give it to her but no human has visited Fantastica in a long time thinks that he would gladly help the Childlike Empress if he were able to; he could dream up the most beautiful new name imaginable if somebody would only show him how to get to Fantastica But despite increasing evidence to the contrary he is sure The Neverending Story is just a book He is afraid to make a fool of himself by asserting that he is truly being called into Fantastica by its pages persuades Falkor to fly him to the edge of Fantastica to look for its mysterious savior He falls from Falkor’s back and loses Auryn while flying over the sea washing up on a lonely beach in a strange country on the verge of annihilation by the Nothing.  in one of the more extraordinary passages of this extraordinary book a werewolf who has been chained up by the princess of the city after she discovered he is in service to the Nothing and was sent to thwart the Empress’s chosen hero from completing his mission and finding Fantastica’s savior The witch-princess and her ghostly entourage have gone to throw themselves into the Nothing Gmork is the only creature in Fantastica who can tell him where to find its savior.  that compels Fantasticans to leap into it; but when they are swallowed whole by the Nothing they emerge into the world of humans as lies: You’ll be like a contagious disease that makes humans blind so they can no longer distinguish between reality and illusion [… You] will become delusions in the minds of human beings despairing thoughts when there is no reason to despair … [Y]ou too will be a nameless servant of power Maybe you’ll help them persuade people to buy things they don’t need or hold beliefs that make them easy to handle big things will be done in the human world with your help It is here that Bastian at last realizes the interconnection between Fantastica and his own world that the world he lives in is as ill as Atreyu’s that the people around him have become cynical and resigned to misery when he himself “never stopped believing in mysteries and miracles,” that the work ahead is to bridge the divide between the world of the fantastical and the world of the everyday; in short to envision the utopian and to live as though it is already present It will take more effort on the part of both Atreyu—who survives his encounter with Gmork and is rescued by Falkor—and the Childlike Empress herself Bastian is brave enough to give the Childlike Empress her new name The movie—which Michael Ende famously loathed (“A gigantic melodrama of kitsch going so far as to sue its producers in an attempt to halt its production—ends here with a rousing and extremely American sequence in which Bastian brings Falkor Earth-side to chase his bullies into the very dumpster where they once forced him to hide.  But the book does not let either Bastian or the reader off so easily Bastian does give the Childlike Empress a new name and is transported to her side in Fantastica where she gives him Auryn—and the task of rebuilding Fantastica by reimagining it He realizes that inside the amulet is inscribed the motto DO WHAT YOU WISH which Bastian interprets to mean gives him “permission to do whatever he pleased.” Bastian’s wishes—to be handsome creating adversaries for him to conquer and quests for him to triumph over decides to assault the Childlike Empress’s citadel and declare himself emperor of Fantastica Atreyu and Falkor stop his coronation ceremony resulting in a battle that destroys the Ivory Tower and sends Bastian fleeing into the wilderness after striking Atreyu down with his sword His long pilgrimage leaves him with only the memory of his father and of his own name he realizes that his one true wish is to love and he gives up his final memories of himself.  promising to complete Bastian’s unfinished stories in Fantastica so that he can return to his own world and begin the work of healing the divide between the everyday and the imaginary where the two finally confront their shared grief over the loss of Bastian’s mother returns to the bookstore where he stole The Neverending Story and learns that the bookstore’s proprietor himself once journeyed to Fantastica.  I was around Bastian’s age when I first found The Neverending Story in the tall shadowy stacks of the grown-ups’ section of my local library suspected of social irredeemability by my peers; like him I was instantly seduced by the book’s title–a neverending story with the desperate desire to inhabit a world more pleasurable than the one into which I had been born and was required to endure; books were the one thing that allowed me to forget myself and my ordinary life depressingly unalleviated by magic and heroic quests and dragons the edition I found was a beautiful object a hardcover first American edition printed in red and green ink–red for the parts of the book set in the human world green for Fantastica—whose chapters began with Roswitha Quadflieg’s beautifully illustrated ornamental initials I fell in love with The Neverending Story in the way only a child can come to love a book dazzled by its variegated visions of spectacular creatures and a wondrous parallel world tantalizingly close to our own for any child courageous enough to reach it I returned to the book many times over the years but it was not until relatively recently that I thought to learn more about its author His father was the surrealist painter Edgar Ende; his mother was an autodidact and orphan who read widely in philosophy and who herself began to paint later in her life where Edgar Ende’s career briefly flourished but the changing political climate sent the family into poverty Edgar Ende was labeled a “degenerate” artist by the National Socialist regime and banned from painting altogether Many of his colleagues and friends were arrested and disappeared The Endes became dependent on what little Luise could earn Michael Ende was an academic failure as a child and his humiliation plunged him into such despair that he contemplated suicide.  The family’s difficulties were compounded by the devastating pressures of the Nazi regime and the Second World War The Endes managed to keep Michael out of the Hitler Youth by sending him to a military riding school but he was drafted into the Waffen-SS in 1944 along with all other boys of his age Michael Ende had already witnessed the 1943 bombing of Hamburg which occurred while he was in the city visiting an uncle “It was as though the world was coming to an end,” he said later in a 1983 interview with German Playboy (!) “I still dream about it now—how we found charred corpses shrivelled to the size of babies I can still see the army of totally helpless people wandering through the ruins as though trapped in a labyrinth One of them was carrying a table on his back which was probably the only thing he could save.” Michael Ende tore up his draft papers and joined a Bavarian resistance unit as a courier until the end of the war Ende was profoundly influenced by his schooling under the Nazi regime and his experiences during the war His body of work is not without its flaws; his first book for children has a Black boy as its central character—nearly unheard-of in 1960s Germany—and is filled with references to the horrors of fascism and its attendant racisms and xenophobias But to say that its visual depictions of the titular Jim by the prolific illustrator Franz Josef Tripp would be unpublishable today is an understatement are unsubtly modeled on the Indigenous tribes of the Great Plains of North America reflecting a long-standing and troubling German infatuation with stereotypical images of Native Americans; Atreyu himself strays into the territory of the noble savage (Atreyu is played in the movie by Noah Hathaway a white child actor with a liberal application of foundation.) A number of Ende’s views about the essential nature of women and men and heterosexual relationships even if he may have struggled to imagine its potential subjects as people with bodies and experiences different from his own He resisted the idea that his work should be interpreted through a political lens but he was explicit in interviews: “In the ancient cultural places of the world there was a temple In every modern big city there is a bank building in its center… I have tried to depict this as a kind of demon cult where money is something to be prayed to like something sacred […] It has the character of everlastingness But if there is anything that is just a purely man-made thing then it’s money.” And elsewhere: “The victims of our systems are the peoples of the Third World and nature In order to invest money as profitably as possible this growth does not come out of nothing.”  children frequently figure as agents of resistance in large part because it is particularly difficult to persuade children that their pleasurable activities—play the construction and exploration of alternative futures—are wasteful (This idea is fully explored in his 1973 novel Momo in which a little girl does battle against a grim army of cigar-chomping men in grey who steal time from the unsuspecting adults in her small village The adults are convinced to enact legislation forbidding unstructured play arguing that children who are allowed leisure and imagination “become morally depraved and take to crime The authorities must take steps to round them up They must build centers where the youngsters can be molded into useful and efficient members of society.” Momo alone remains resistant to the men in grey and is ultimately able to defeat them by opening their vault and freeing the stolen time.) Fantastica is dependent on the real world because Fantasticans cannot create new stories; the real world is dependent on Fantastica because without the world of the creative imaginary human beings are reduced to cogs in the machinery of capital deluded by the Nothing and its servants’ misappropriation of the imaginary for the purposes of political repression and senseless consumption Ende was no stranger to fascist deployment of “fears where there is nothing to fear” and regimes that come to power with the understanding that “when it comes to controlling human beings there is no better instrument than lies.”  Bastian is reminded insistently that his ego is the greatest threat to his own self-realization and the safety of Fantastica When the centaur Cairon first gives Atreyu the Childlike Empress’s amulet—as Bastian reads along—he explains that “‘Auryn gives you great power… but you must not make use of it For the Childlike Empress herself never makes use of her power but whatever comes your way you must never interfere because from this moment on your own opinion ceases to count just as it is in the eyes of the Childlike Empress never judge.” It is when Bastian forgets this equilibrium when he privileges his own selfish desires—to be seen as a wise instead of to share in the future of both worlds—that he causes tremendous harm The Neverending Story lends itself easily to a Buddhist reading; Michael Ende was himself fascinated by Zen Buddhism and spent a considerable amount of time in Japan Bastian must reconcile himself to the deep life-altering grief of his mother’s death; he must come to peace with himself and learn to love and be loved as he is flawed and imperfect and still deserving of care; he must set aside the impulses of his ego in favor of more meaningful and mutually dependent relationships with other beings But the relationship between Fantastica and the human world has more expansive tools to offer than just a metaphorized exploration of the journey to individual enlightenment we live surrounded by the degradations of the Nothing The extraordinary disconnect between the discourse of progress and the lived realities of millions of people even in the wealthiest nation on earth—an ostensible democracy actively funding and abetting an ongoing genocide a nation where entire cities have no access to drinkable water where schools are closing or their libraries are being stripped where huge swathes of the population have no access to life-saving medical care or any medical care at all where the right to simply exist in public is denied to trans and queer and unhoused people a nation with the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world and the highest child incarceration rate on earth—is a nearly unbearable space to inhabit We are living in a time of uncontrollable ecological catastrophe set in motion by a handful of board members and shareholders well aware of the consequences of their greed that is already rendering whole swathes of the planet unlivable and that will continue to metastasize into unaccountable suffering disproportionately borne by the people least responsible for it This is a tenuous existence even for those of us who still have access to the exponential privileges of certain kinds of citizenship in certain kinds of countries—those of us born Cruelty is not a byproduct of the system we live in; it is a constitutive element We are meant to be productive in these conditions We are certainly not meant to consider what an ethical life might look like in a world where it is literally impossible to survive—to eat to make a life—without consuming goods produced under circumstances of near-slavery at best and as a result of ecocide and extraordinary violence When we choose to be aware of these conditions we are tear-gassed and beaten by police and incarcerated We are told that our grief is unreasonable that we are undeserving of even being seen or heard–I am thinking here of the indelible images of people on their way into the 2024 Democratic convention in Chicago covering their ears and laughing at pro-Palestinian protestors We may become disoriented by the realization that many who share this present with us are willing to overlook the bloodthirsty viciousness of empire–or may go so far as to actively embrace and abet it–even as they insist they are doing otherwise a condition which many of us may come to inhabit is presented to us as a moral failure of which we should be ashamed.  But I would like to propose an alternative theory of despair: despair and grief is the only reasonable response to the world in which we are currently living which means there is something we are grieving; which means there is something we have seen to be grievable Something we have recognized as real and present We have come to the abyss and named it for what it is Despair says: the house is burning down and everyone and everything we love is inside the house We will lose so much that we love; we have already experienced losses so enormous as to unmake us Fantasticans who fling themselves into the Nothing may become “despairing thoughts where there is no reason to despair,” but in fact we have many reasons to despair there is no reason we cannot navigate that failure together and imagine its alternatives in community How we grieve shapes how we reimagine the world let us learn not how to bear them but how to remake the conditions that bring them into being “and entire populations are being forced to bear it anyway”—it can also be the recognition that we have nothing left to lose The loss of hope is in its own way the ultimate detachment from the demands of the ego Hopelessness becomes our kinship and our connection: across borders across the differences of our bodies and our lives and our experiences we are still capable of resistance and insistence: resistance to what is the possible is still ours to inscribe upon the present We can return to the swamp in which Artax drowns unprotected by the shelter of the Childlike Empress’s talisman It is Artax’s grief in the face of unimaginable suffering and it is the shared grief of Bastian and Atreyu that is their first step on the journey together to a newly imagined world one in which the ultimate guide is not the pursuit of individual happiness but of love and collective liberation but a place of transition between the world of water and the world of earth Think for a moment of the many plants and animals that make a home in that suspended zone And I am arguing here for the capacious “we” of Fantastica the millions of people who have already been enduring apocalypse for a long time now ever-expanding “we,” a “we” where all beings are equal and cherished and let that wish be a doing that inhabits your every action.  It is not Bastian’s imagination alone that sets him apart from his peers; it is his capacity to name the possible and his willingness to work through the fear of recognizing his part in the future-making project of the story he has entered for those of us raised in the embrace of empire which is that the system in which we live protects the very few at the great expense of the many pulled into the depths of the Nothing by the death wish of empire is more than just unbearable; it is the end of any future in which freedom exists for anyone.  He reflects on the trespasses he has committed against his comrades and is consumed by shame where the buildings are “jumbled every which way without rhyme or reason” and the inhabitants are “dressed as if they had lost the power to distinguish between clothing and objects intended for other purposes.” His attempts to speak with the townspeople are met with confusion who informs him that he has reached the City of the Old Emperors—a squalid All the human beings who succeeded in crowning themselves Emperor of Fantastica lose themselves completely in the same instant and are transported to the city because they themselves can’t change anymore.” Bastian understands that he has been given a tremendous gift; Atreyu has thwarted his desire to conquer and thus saved him from the fate of the other humans who have attempted to assert their own will over the beings of Fantastica For the Childlike Empress herself does not rule; she “was far more than a ruler She was something entirely different… She had never used force or made use of her own power She never issued commands and she never judged anyone… In her eyes all her subjects were equal She was the center of all life in Fantastica.” The Childlike Empress’s world is one without borders and thus free of the violence required to maintain them It is up to us to imagine their alternatives To live as though the future we are dreaming is already named To be unafraid to answer its call in the dark “And joy filled him from head to foot,” writes Ende when Bastian has finally realized his greatest wish is love “The joy of living and the joy of being himself… If he had been free to choose Because now he knew that there were thousands and thousands of forms of joy in the world but that all were essentially one and the same The Reactor newsletter is the best way to catch up on the world of science fiction “You want stories?"

Anschlägen vom 11 als die kollektiven Verteidigungsmassnahmen der Nato zum ersten und einzigen Mal aktiviert wurden Europäische Länder eilten Amerika zu Hilfe und beteiligten sich an einem unsinnigen Krieg in Afghanistan und im Irak Doch jetzt haben sich die USA in der europäischen Sicherheitspolitik auf die Seite Russlands gestellt indem sie gegen die UN-Resolution zur Verurteilung des russischen Kriegs in der Ukraine gestimmt haben dass Amerika in den Handelsbeziehungen mit anderen westlichen Ländern während Jahrzehnten übervorteilt worden sei weshalb es als Gegenmassnahme Zölle brauche Natürlich war der Freihandel nie vollkommen frei aber in der Nachkriegszeit wurden viele Schranken abgebaut Japan zum Beispiel erhebt keine Zölle auf amerikanische Autos Dass Ford und GM im japanischen Markt kaum präsent sind hat deshalb nichts mit Handelsbeschränkungen zu tun dass die US-Autos meist gross sind und enorm viel Benzin verbrauchen was nicht der Präferenz der japanischen Konsumenten entspricht wie wir unsere Nutztiere mit Hormonen vollpumpen Andere Länder versuchen also nicht wirklich wenn sie unser Rind- oder Hühnerfleisch nicht zulassen Es sind einfach nur kulturelle Unterschiede Woher kommt eigentlich diese Opfermentalität dass die USA von allen anderen ausgenutzt werden Eben sprachen noch alle von «American Exceptionalism» der überragenden Stellung der US-Wirtschaft mit einem unerreichten Bruttoinlandprodukt und einer unerreichten Produktivität Das Nettovermögen der US-Haushalte war noch nie so hoch Ausser in China gibt es in keinem anderen Land Tech-Giganten die USA haben ein Problem mit der Verteilung des Wohlstands Früher fühlten sich die Gewinner verpflichtet dass Länder wie Vietnam oder Kambodscha Amerika tatsächlich abzocken nur weil sie im bilateralen Handel einen Überschuss haben dass Europa und asiatische Länder wie Japan Südkorea und Taiwan vom Schutzschild Amerikas profitieren würden ohne einen angemessenen Beitrag zu leisten Der Grund für die militärische Präsenz der USA rund um den Globus ist nicht dass uns andere Regionen per se am Herzen liegen Frühere Generationen mussten auf die harte Tour lernen dass Amerika nicht in Frieden und Wohlstand leben kann wenn das nicht auch in Europa und bei unseren Verbündeten in Asien der Fall ist Frühere US-Präsidenten haben sich sporadisch beklagt dass manche Länder höhere Zölle haben oder nicht genug für die Verteidigung ausgeben dass die Spielregeln so stark zu unseren Gunsten ausgelegt sind dass solche marginalen Zugeständnisse für die US-Wirtschaft irrelevant sind Wir haben anderen Ländern bewusst etwas Nachsicht entgegengebracht Mit der Globalisierung sind in den USA jedoch viele Arbeitsplätze im verarbeitenden Gewerbe verlorengegangen Werden Zölle der amerikanischen Industrie zu einer Renaissance verhelfen Trumps Politik wird der Mittelklasse kaum helfen wettbewerbsfähige Industrieproduktion in den USA zurückzuholen werden dadurch nicht viele neue Arbeitsplätze geschaffen Es werden moderne Fabriken sein wie in Ostasien die hoch automatisiert sind und in denen nur wenige Leute arbeiten; hauptsächlich Wenn uns andere Länder tatsächlich Arbeitsplätze in der Industrie wegnehmen würden müssten sie in diesem Sektor einen starken Zuwachs an Stellen verzeichnen Aber in China zum Beispiel hat die Industrie relativ zu anderen Sektoren Jobs verloren war der Einstiegsjob bei einer Bank typischerweise eine Anstellung als Kassierer Was ist mit diesen Arbeitsplätzen geschehen Sie sind nicht nach Schanghai oder Hanoi abgewandert sondern wurden durch Geldautomaten ersetzt Ähnlich verhält es sich in vielen anderen Branchen dass er damit das US-Budgetdefizit reduzieren und Spielraum für Steuerkürzungen schaffen will Hier besteht ein klassischer Zielkonflikt: Wenn Zölle mehr Einnahmen zur Finanzierung von Steuersenkungen schaffen diese widersprüchlichen Effekte werden letztlich eher zu einem höheren Haushaltsdefizit führen Die US-Staatsfinanzen sind in einem unhaltbaren Zustand dass dieses Problem über Nacht gelöst werden muss die wir aus der Präsidentschaft von Ronald Reagan und Bill Clinton hätten lernen können Trump hat die reziproken Zölle vorerst ausgesetzt und macht diverse andere Ausnahmen dennoch sind die Gebühren für Importe in die USA deutlich gestiegen Von Zöllen gehen zwei entgegengesetzte Impulse aus: Sie treiben die Preise in die Höhe und hemmen das Wachstum Nach der Wahl von Trump drehten sich anfängliche Bedenken um die inflationären Auswirkungen doch inzwischen sind Sorgen um die Wirtschaft in den Vordergrund gerückt Die Entlassungen im öffentlichen Sektor und die Beschränkung der Einwanderung werden zudem gravierende Auswirkungen auf den Arbeitsmarkt haben In den nächsten sechs bis sieben Wochen werden wir vermutlich eine markante Abschwächung sehen weil die Inflation auf das Ziel von 2% zurückkommt die Lage an den Finanzmärkten spitzt sich zu und es kommt zu einem grösseren Schock für die Weltwirtschaft: Kann sich die Welt dann noch immer auf die US-Notenbank verlassen wie das in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten stets der Fall war das werden wir erst in der nächsten Krise herausfinden Ein Freund ist in der Not ein wahrer Freund: Wenn man Hilfe braucht und die Menschen wie in der globalen Finanzkrise von 2008/09 und beim Ausbruch der Pandemie hat das Federal Reserve zahlreichen Ländern mit Swap-Linien geholfen Es ermöglichte dadurch beispielsweise der Europäischen Zentralbank den Zugang zu Liquidität die dann an die EZB-Mitgliedsbanken weitergeleitet werden konnte um systemrelevante Finanzkonzerne zu stützen Doch angesichts des Nationalismus von Präsident Trump und seiner Grundhaltung dass andere für öffentliche Güter zahlen sollen könnte es solche Swap-Linien möglicherweise nicht mehr geben Verunsicherung lösen derzeit vor allem die markant steigenden Renditen langjähriger US-Staatsanleihen aus Hat dies möglicherweise mit einem Käuferstreik von China und anderen Ländern zu tun quasi als Vergeltungsmassnahme gegen die Zölle Obschon ausländische Investoren rund 26 Bio $ mehr US-Vermögenswerte besitzen als amerikanische Investoren ausländische Vermögenswerte halten gibt es für einen Käuferstreik höchstens vage Indizien dass Angaben zu internationalen Kapitalströmen nur mit erheblicher Verzögerung eintreffen Im Verlauf dieser Woche zum Beispiel stehen die TIC-Daten an der Bericht des US-Finanzministeriums zu grenzüberschreitenden Kapitalanlagen Doch diese Daten gehen nur bis Ende Februar Wie erklären Sie sich dann die Erschütterung am Bondmarkt Mir kommen dazu zwei Stichworte in den Sinn: Unsicherheit und Volatilität In solchen Phasen denke ich oft an Will Rogers einen Varieté-Künstler aus den Zwanziger- und Dreissigerjahren der stets einen cleveren Spruch auf Lager hatte ist der Erhalt eines Investments manchmal wichtiger als dessen Rendite dass sie sich um den Erhalt ihres Kapitals sorgen Im Markt für US-Staatsanleihen sind massive Wetten auf den «Basis Trade» platziert worden eine Arbitrage zwischen dem Spotmarkt für Treasuries und dem Futures-Markt Diese Positionen werden nun übereilt aufgelöst Schwer unter Druck steht ebenso der Dollar dass Trumps Zölle dem Dollar Auftrieb geben würden Unter konstanten Rahmenbedingungen dürften Zölle den Dollar vermutlich stützen doch die Rahmenbedingungen sind momentan nicht konstant Die grosse Trump-Dollar-Rally spielte sich in der Übergangsphase nach den Wahlen bis zu seinem Antritt ab als die Märkte im Hinblick auf eine wirtschaftsfreundliche Agenda robustes Wachstum in den USA antizipierten als andere Themen in den Fokus rückten wie Zölle und Trumps imperialistische Ambitionen Bundesstaat annektieren oder Grönland übernehmen solche Äusserungen machen den Leuten Angst Die grossen Gewinner der vergangenen Tage sind die Edelmetalle Gold und Silber sowie der Franken als sicherer Hafen Der Franken hat noch mehr Spielraum nach oben was der Status als sicherer Hafen für eine Währung in der Praxis bedeutet: Grosse Investoren verschulden sich oft in einer niedrig verzinsten Währung wie dem Franken oder dem Yen verkaufen diese dann und investieren den Erlös in höher verzinste respektive risikoreichere Anlagen wie beispielsweise mexikanische Anleihen Es handelt sich also um einen Carry Trade oder eine strukturelle Finanzposition Wenn der Kurs mexikanischer Anleihen dann aber in einer Risk-off-Welle wie in den vergangenen Tagen einbricht ähnlich wie beim Basis Trade: Mexikanische Anleihen werden verkauft und Franken zurückgekauft was den Kurs des Frankens nach oben treibt Der Franken bewegt sich gegenüber dem Dollar auf dem höchsten Niveau seit mehr als zehn Jahren Wie wird die Schweizerische Nationalbank reagieren Die SNB behält den Wechselkurs zwischen dem Dollar und dem Franken genau im Auge ihre eigentliche Sorge gilt aber dem Wechselkurs zum Euro An den Devisenmärkten nehmen deshalb Spekulationen um den nächsten Schritt der SNB zu Sie hat den Leitsatz bereits auf 0,25% gesenkt und ihr nächster Zinsentscheid steht erst Mitte Juni an wobei die Märkte eine 90%-Chance für eine Zinssenkung einpreisen dass die SNB an einer ausserplanmässigen Sitzung mit einer Zinssenkung interveniert und den Leitsatz sogar erneut auf null senkt Ich vermute das allerdings schon seit einiger Zeit und Trends an den Devisenmärkten können manchmal fünf oder sogar zehn Jahre dauern weil sie sich in seinem Leben nicht bewegt Was ich damit sagen will: Die grossen Bewegungen an den Devisenmärkten entwickeln sich nur langsam Doch auf Grundlage des OECD-Modells zur Kaufkraftparität ist der Dollar gegenüber dem Euro und dem Yen mehr als 50% überbewertet dass wir mit grosser Wahrscheinlichkeit einen Umkehrprozess zur Angleichung an den historischen Durchschnitt erleben werden Die Hauptstossrichtung der US-Regierung zielt bei den Zöllen gegen China dass Peking als Abwehrmassnahme den Yuan abwertet Ja nach Produkt reagiert die Nachfrage unterschiedlich auf Preiserhöhungen Die Zölle im Konflikt der beiden Länder haben nun aber ein Niveau erreicht auf dem die meisten Exporte nicht mehr wettbewerbsfähig sind Weitere Zollerhöhungen sind somit praktisch bedeutungslos China ist die zweitgrösste Volkswirtschaft aber seine Währung ist nicht annähernd so wichtig wie der Dollar Der Yuan ist aber ein relevanter Indikator für Chinas Wirtschaftspolitik Der Kurs darf sich bloss in einer Bandbreite von 2% gegenüber dem Dollar bewegen Peking ist auch weiterhin weder an einem starken noch an einem schwachen Yuan interessiert weshalb ich nicht mit einer nennenswerten Abwertung rechne Selbst nach den jüngsten Turbulenzen hat sich der Kurs zum Dollar seit Anfang Jahr denn auch nicht mehr als 1% verändert dass China den militärischen Druck auf Taiwan erhöht Wie wird sich die Trump-Regierung in dieser Hinsicht verhalten Wie im Fall von Südkorea schrumpft Taiwans Bevölkerung rasch und China kann unter Präsident Xi Jinping eine langfristige Perspektive einnehmen als Premierminister Keir Starmer in Grossbritannien und wohl auch länger als Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz in Deutschland dass Trump das US-Militär de facto in ein Söldnerheer transformieren wird: Wer Amerika bezahlt würde ich deshalb nach Möglichkeiten suchen den Einsatzwillen der US-Regierung in Asien zu testen dass Taiwan durch chinesische Militärübungen gegenwärtig nahezu eingekesselt wird Was raten Sie Investoren unter diesen Rahmenbedingungen bietet das kurze Ende der Zinskurve normalerweise am meisten Sicherheit; also Anlagen wie Treasury Bills oder kurzfristige europäische Staatsanleihen Gemessen an der Kaufkraftparität ist das Bruttoinlandprodukt pro Kopf fast so hoch wie in Japan das aus dem Ende des Kalten Krieges hervorgegangen ist Polens grosse und diversifizierte Wirtschaft bietet Investoren die nach attraktiv bewerteten Anlagen suchen Chancen; speziell in Sektoren wie Rüstung und Infrastruktur Angesichts wachsender Zweifel an Amerikas globaler Führungsrolle könnte zudem die Nachfrage nach Gold weiter zunehmen; nicht nur von Zentralbanken in China sondern möglicherweise auch von individuellen Anlegern Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker Bnamericas Published: Friday, August 16, 2024 Hydro Dam 43,000+ global companies doing business in the region news and interviews

black metal’s finest titles 2021’s Tanker som rir natten was hailed as a flawless record received a coveted Spellemann / “Norwegian Grammy.” I rightly rated that instant classic a 10/10 at Metal Injection and repeatedly sang its praises as perhaps the first apolitical and sane writer the fact that Djevel’s Naa skrider natten sort is one of the GREATEST black metal albums of ALL TIME is not up for debate.” I believe the very first to recognize the brilliance of Djevel’s current trilogy certainly the loudest constant advocate for them has been leading music historian one of the most important figures in the scene we send our hails to Rødland for always being ahead of the curve and steering ears in the right direction whereas so many mags are busy pointing listeners toward unoriginal trash or whoever paid for ad space With Natt til ende finally on our speakers we can affirm that it represents yet another unblemished masterpiece Natt til ende could only be the epic triumph we were certain it would be and more Rarely have I been so sure that a title would equate to a flawless scorcher but Ciekals’ nomination serves as an indication of the reality that Djevel is a band whose brilliance cannot be denied even by those who do not necessarily understand black metal Ciekals penned the following of his newest opus: “This last chapter is my manifest of the final ending of christianity and death of ‘Jesus’ Naturally this also lifts the idea and concept of forces christianity calls evil The same forces I would call natural and human They may be described as in a dream or in a more harsh speech.” who places among metal’s very best drummers has been part of Djevel since 2017 and first appeared with them on Blant svarte graner (2018) Faust wows us with all of the dazzling precision and finesse that we expect of him his contributions come across as highly refreshing in light of their impeccable character While many national treasures dull with time Ciekals and Faust have been joined by one of the genre’s top vocalists also provides his expertise on bass: the venerable Mr Grenjar (We don’t say “ex” here because Rødland informed us of the joyous news that there will be more to come…) Kvitrim is regarded as a key architect behind the internationally beloved Nidrosian Black Metal movement.  though this fearsome entity has always included a cast of esteemed and successful permanent musicians whether Koldbrann and now Craft’s Mannevond continued on with them in concert after his studio departure; Hjorth and Erlend Hjelvik famed mostly for their past achievements with Kvelertak; or ex-Gehenna and ex-Enslaved’s Dirge Rep From Mare’s Nosophoros to ex-Sarkom’s Eirik Renton who just might have partaken in Norway’s pre-Eurovision competition as a Djevel has boasted incredible pieces of strictly live artillery A word to the unenlightened: The offerings to which Willem has lent his excellence behind the console have earned 10 Spellemann nominations and 3 wins Willem is yet another one of Norway’s best each of Djevel’s veteran artists gives a stellar performance The merits of their work are glaringly self-evident This number is surprisingly accessible for an uncompromising outfit Djevel is of such a caliber that no one can deny their excellence Ciekals possesses all the worth of a classical composer he brings honor to Norway while summoning to mind all of the most gorgeous and majestic paintings of Scandinavian nature in its moonlit splendor Intoxicating melodies and addictive riffs transport us Ciekals allows his songs to have the ideal amount of breathing room in the right spaces This king of his craft reigns with complete authority he also lets out truly bestial screams and growls that convey the truth of abysmal agony and despair “En vitner efter kommer” benefits from a sprinkling of vocalizations that resemble those found within the realm of suicidal black metal Another such brief moment arises after calming chanting on the last track thus reminding us of the meaning of the nice Norwegian word “Selvhat” and providing a nice contrast to when Kvitrim’s tone on that opus is declamatory (Let it be known that the sprawling “Natt til ende” is a very special and magical piece that actually made its premiere live on November 11 at Oslo’s Parkteatret.) Kvitrim breathes both fire and ice and “Jesu lidelse” contains some theatrical vocals that which arise every now and then on the record add much depth to the music “I skovaandsfavn,” is a piano piece that commences with the rustling of wind and features other atmospheric touches the subtlety of the effects is appreciated We must note that this composition is preceded by the album’s second single “Under nattens fane i fandens prakt,” which proves extremely fun and catchy despite its gravity and more somber components fans abound who have stated that Djevel is the most exciting act in black metal right now I have always suffered from the compulsive need to likewise champion the timeless art of the fabulous Sir Niklas Kvarforth and his Høstsol co-founder the pioneering hero Tor-Helge “Cernunnus” Skei Aftermath Music unleashed Manes’ lethally magnificent EP Pathei Mathos as well as the full-length Slow Motion Death Sequence Remixed they released Manes’ miraculous two-song single Young Skeleton (2020) has morphed into an experimental entity that stands beyond all stylistic labels they are regarded by the likes of Sir Kvarforth as having been the best in the genre for their unsurpassed early victories — Cern continues where he left off in Manii and astounds us with his black metal supremacy by way of Syning as well Manes has always reflected the highest level of genius we can safely assert: Aftermath has turned out three of the top offerings of 2024 and only partners with the greatest make sure to keep an eye out for Kvitrim’s new supergroup with Cern: Diabolus Their debut is sure to amount to another masterwork (Purchase Djevel’s Natt til ende from Aftermath Music here.) “Little Lord Fentanyl,” featuring a guest performance from Maynard James Keenan (Tool The track marks the band’s first release since 2022’s Conspiranoid EP The single also introduces new drummer John..

designer Anna Viebrock is mainly at home in the theatre Now she is creating an installation at the Skulpturenhalle in which parts of a stage set and her models play a central role Since studying at the Düsseldorf Academy of Arts in the 1970s Anna Viebrock has developed her own distinctive way of intertwining space for which she has received much acclaim in the world of the theatre her approach can be appreciated in a solo art exhibition Viebrock’s unmistakable stage sets are spatial collages whose naturalism is deceptive unusual combinations of architectural elements and “found” objects that tell their own stories her hybrid spatial inventions unfold a great power In January 2024, Professors Willy Shih and Mike Toffel led 45 HBS MBA students on site visits to witness the energy transition and innovative sustainable production activities throughout Denmark and the Netherlands in the second year of their Immersive Field Course (IFC) This is one of nine student essays that highlight their reflections After spending the morning at the Royal Flora Holland auction house we traveled from Amsterdam to Monster where we were welcomed to Van den Ende Rozen by two of the three brothers who run the company It was clear from the start that the family dynamic of the brothers creates a playful and competitive work environment as each brother is responsible for a different area of the business We started our tour of the facility by walking into the warm brightly lit 4.5-hectare greenhouse where the company grows its Red Naomi roses the greenhouse’s production team works on cutting and pruning the roses while the afternoons are focused on processing and packaging the rose plants need to be pruned or cut very often it takes six to seven weeks for a plant to grow a new flower The total capacity of the 4.5-hectare greenhouse is 400 roses/m² per year The growers use a mix of extensive experience and technology to efficiently grow a high-quality product there are 17 different environmental sensors that track everything from temperature to light intensity and humidity the flowers are handled differently depending on the tastes of the customer some regions such as Scandinavia prefer their flowers to have more natural greenery so they have more control over the final appearance of mixed bouquets Van den Ende Rozen sells 65% of their flowers directly to customers such as grocers and convenience stores while the rest is sent to auction houses like Royal Flora Holland The price at the auction house determines the price for direct sales as well While it’s difficult to create a consumer-recognized brand of flowers Van den Ende Rozen still strives to produce the highest quality of roses for all to enjoy the Van den Ende brothers touched upon multiple aspects of sustainable agriculture that have been integrated into their greenhouse 50% of their greenhouse lighting has been transitioned from incandescent lighting to LEDs which emit a light spectrum that is optimized for rose growing The transition has reduced energy use by 50% but has also caused a reduction in the amount of heat emitted into the greenhouse Natural gas heating has been employed to compensate adding additional pressure to the operating costs of the business due to price increases because of the Russia-Ukraine war The Van den Ende brothers shared their plans to implement geothermal heat pumps for the greenhouse within the next two years in order to reduce and then eliminate the use of natural gas 50% of the water used in rose cultivation is captured The Van den Ende brothers also continue to explore ways to reduce the use of chemical pesticides They have already transitioned 90% of their greenhouse to biological pest control systems wherein living organisms that are natural enemies of invasive insects are distributed throughout the rose crop in order to prevent infestations and damage to the flowers This number is expected to increase to 100% nature-based pest control as EU legislation moves to eliminate the use of chemical pesticides within the next decade several cats live in the greenhouse to control the mice population The company extends its commitment to sustainability throughout its entire supply chain This includes employing electric cars for harvesting roses and procuring residual carbon dioxide for the greenhouses from a Shell refinery in Rotterdam During the transition from gas-based heating to geothermal energy the company also buys green power for their existing 15MW electric cogeneration facility Interesting Learnings & Future Challenges Examining this century-old family business we noted its adaptability to market shifts the shift to specializing in roses was compelling The Van den Ende brothers explained how optimization for a single crop enhanced both yield and sustainability auction houses are considering implementing systems to reveal flower carbon footprints that could reshape rose demand adding an environmental factor to consumer choices In discussions with the Van den Ende brothers the timeline for integrating geothermal energy emerged The goal is to commission the plant in 2024 but the facility's construction is controlled by the local government The geothermal installation shares infrastructure with the neighboring plant This highlights a crucial aspect of sustainable tech transition: it's not only about technology and costs but also about policy and government support The interplay between private ambitions and regulations impacts the pace of embracing sustainability

In fact, they often go out of their way to surprise and shock with some of the most audacious twists you'll ever see on screen. Knowing that, you'd think it would be tough to pull the rug out from under us anymore, yet Grotesquerie did exactly that at the end of episode 7 with the wildest twist of all viewers followed Detective Lois Tryon (Niecy Nash-Betts) as she worked with Sister Megan (Micaela Diamond) to investigate hideous murders in their local area the pair battled their personal demons too struggled to stay strong while her husband lay in the hospital in a coma he couldn't wake up from That means everything that happened up until that point was just a dream real life starts to reflect the dreams she experienced during the coma does Grotesquerie finally reveal who the actual killer is Does Lois finally get the answers she needs The finale begins as these things so often do: with the makings of a throuple Lois returns home to find Marshall and Cherry Redd (Lesley Manville) with drinks and an offer she can't refuse Redd then reveals that she knows all about Marshall sleeping around which comes to a head later when his class is interrupted by Megan (Micaela Diamond) and Gale (Brooke Smith) who arrest him on sexual assault allegations made by one of his students Ed Laclan (Travis M Kelce) takes advantage of him at his lowest point – inviting him to a men's group that helped turn things around for him the men's group in question is actually a men's rights group who push back against pronouns and basically any world where women are treated as equals Dr Charlie Mayhew (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) and Lois's therapists are there too Lois goes to one of her therapists in fear that this reality might not be real either Who's to say this world isn't just another layer of her coma dream a rare brain disorder where the patient believes themselves to be dead when they're not Next she claims that Charlie had orgies in her room while she was trapped in her coma and that he even impregnated another unconscious patient in the same hospital That's why he was such a horny beast in her dreams The twists keep coming when Lois returns to her motel room and discovers that all the evidence collected regarding Justin Blake's (Spenser Granese) death has vanished especially after Lois suspiciously saw her hanging out with Glorious McKall (Lillias White) When Lois suggests that Grotesquerie must work in medicine because the killer had access to her files Dr Witticomb flips that around and argues that Lois is probably the murderer instead Does this mean that the good doctor is a not-so-good doctor this doesn't help Lois after she ends up getting thrown into a psychiatric ward Megan visits and admits that she lied about what happened to Justin conspiring with Glorious to clean up the evidence because Megan needed help regarding an even bigger crime that involved victims they both know Lois arrives at the crime scene to discover Charlie is dead He's been crucified for reasons not super clear other than the fact that religious imagery has tied into the entire series The rest of the victims are mostly unnamed men aside from one who just so happens to be the student who accused Marshall of sexual assault earlier on in the same episode Lois has figured out exactly who the killer is Lois says she'll tell her co-workers in an hour when they meet again at her old office we don't have another hour because that's where the episode ends Holding back the killer's identity here at the end might be even more shocking than episode 7's big twist (and it's definitely more cruel) It's also pretty ballsy given that season 2 hasn't even been confirmed yet But maybe that's what Murphy is counting on that this dangling thread will convince FX to renew Grotesquerie for round two so we can finally get the answers we seek Speaking of season 2, Niecy Nash-Betts did chat with Deadline after the finale aired to discuss what things might look like for Lois moving forward \"The main thing that I think I’m looking forward to [in a potential second season] is the doctor says Grotesquerie is an amalgamation of all of the evils that have happened in the world in [her] mind but then these crimes start to happen literally \"There still are a few questions I’m waiting to have answered that means me sitting at a dinner with Ryan for hours telling me where he planned on this story going.\" Our money's on a random Ryan Murphy character from another show Grotesquerie is available to stream now on Disney Plus.

Samantha von Ende and Gavriela Geller, a married couple at the forefront of the Kansas City Jewish community’s fight against antisemitism, have each recently received national recognition for their efforts. Von Ende, an academic and advocate as well as co-founder and executive director of the AMICUS Institute for Governance, has been recognized by Hadassah as one of this year’s “18 American Zionist Women You Should Know.” Geller, the executive director of Jewish Community Relations Bureau | American Jewish Committee (JCRB|AJC), was honored with a Director’s Community Leadership Award from the FBI. Von Ende credits her work founding and directing the AMICUS Institute with helping develop her communication skills that benefit her Jewish and Zionist advocacy. Other formal endeavors in that field include being the former director of academic affairs for the Consulate General of Israel to the Southeastern United States; an educator and committee member of Limmud; a Birthright staff leader; and being involved with Israel Policy Forum. As the executive director of JCRB|AJC, Geller leads a five-person team in combating antisemitism in Kansas City. JCRB|AJC represents the Jewish communities in Kansas and Western Missouri in matters of public policy on all levels of education and government, ranging from school administrators to law enforcement and state officials. She and her team facilitate programs, teach classes, lead events and meet with officials to work to fight antisemitism and injustice. Samantha von Ende — “A Zionist Woman You Should Know” Described by Hadassah as a “scholar, advocate, educator and strategic visionary,” von Ende is one of the 18 women highlighted by Hadassah in its second annual list of women “making an impact and shaping the future of Zionism.” “It’s a profound honor to be recognized by Hadassah in this capacity,” von Ende said. “Hadassah is a revered institution which upholds principles that I believe every human on Earth would find respectable: healthcare, youth development, self sovereignty, women’s inclusion in matters of community interest.” Among the other honorees are actress Debra Messing, social media influencer Shai Albrecht and poet Tova Ricardo. (The full list of honorees is available at hadassah.org/18women.) Von Ende said her fellow awardees inspire her and that she is fortunate to interact with Hadassah in her work. Geller feels great pride in her spouse’s achievement. “Anyone who knows Sam knows that she is one of the most uniquely brilliant minds of our time,” Geller said. “To have her insight, ideas, analysis, and tangible support as an educator and leader, has been such a gift to our whole community — and most of that support is done so quietly that people will never know how hard she works for all of us.” Geller received her award from FBI Director Christopher Way on April 19. The Director’s Community Leadership Award is awarded yearly by the national bureau to a person or organization from each of the FBI’s 56 field offices.  “Ms. Geller is a trusted partner of the FBI Kansas City,” said Stephen Cyrus, special agent in charge at FBI Kansas City. “Through her leadership with the JCRB|AJC, the FBI enjoys a strong partnership. Her work serving the community, as well as her work connecting the community and law enforcement, is deserving of this recognition.” Geller, who wanted to join the FBI as a teenager, is proud to work with and be honored by the organization. “It’s so meaningful to be recognized for JCRB|AJC’s efforts to bring communities together to fight hate and extremism,” she said. “...I’m grateful and honored that they feel my efforts — really, our organization’s efforts — have been impactful in creating safer communities across our region.” Von Ende said that Geller is deserving of this award, and she is proud of her spouse for her work. “Gavi’s award is remarkable and yet a well-deserved national recognition for her cross-community work promoting justice, safety, dialogue and inter-community relationship-building in this city and region,” von Ende said. “...From board development and staff recruiting to Jewish youth empowerment and effective government relations, Gavi is a star. We are seen better because of her light.” Both Geller and von Ende grew up in the Kansas City Jewish community, attended Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy (HBHA) and were steeped in Jewish values by their families. Despite both being alumnae from HBHA, they did not know each other when they were students. Geller attended Congregations Beth Shalom and Beth Torah while growing up. Being Jewish was important to her father, who died when she was 10. She felt an obligation to continue his sense of identity and commitment to family, leading to her transferring to HBHA for her freshman year of high school — a move she called “the most pivotal decision in [her] Jewish journey.” Geller and von Ende met each other as adults and formed a deep bond. Geller said that since their first date, she and von Ende shared a connection in expertise and passion in community relations, Israel advocacy and combating antisemitism. Now married, von Ende and Geller continue to fight antisemitism together. They both said that the current wave of antisemitism is not over, but this does not deter them. Despite the current and upcoming challenges in Jewish relations and combating antisemitism, both von Ende and Geller are steadfast in their goals of creating a better world for the Jewish community, and they are energized and inspired by each other’s efforts and the progress made. “Sam and I share the same values and the same passion and commitment to the Jewish community,” Geller said. “...Everything we do is for our ancestors and for our future generations. And to be able to connect with my spouse on that level — spiritually and professionally — it’s incredible.” Volume 8 - 2021 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2021.668586 This article is part of the Research TopicMarine Conservation: Knowledge, Experience and Tools for ChangeView all 18 articles This article presents a case study of a fishery in the port-town community of Ende a former littoral hub located at the periphery of major commercial systems in the Indo-Pacific region The article argues that more attention be paid to the role of transregional maritime networks and navigational practices embedded within local tenure systems to understand the apparent absence of formal control of marine and coastal resources Through ethnographic and archival research this study identifies the presence of indigenous institutions for fishing grounds regulation and documents the existence of broader transregional norms dictating proper fishing and navigation Exploring the interactions between more pluralistic customary systems that exist in port-towns such as Ende and recent fishery development policies the article discusses some of the obstacles to implementing sustainable co-management strategies While the Indonesian central government is strongly promoting co-governance approaches for resource management these institutional models are based on geographically narrow definitions of tradition and customary law which can lead to management failures such as elite capture and local fishers’ disenfranchisement policies emphasize the formation of cooperative groups without considering transregional beliefs about independence and pre-established systems of obligations and the use of non-sustainable practices continue embodying predominant Southeast Asian beliefs Endenese are known for their entrepreneurial nature and strong self-sufficiency ethos these notions are ignored by local government agencies that view the fishermen as selfish and disorganized In order to formulate true participatory solutions a careful assessment of the role played by transregional perspectives that go beyond geographically localized understandings of customary practices is needed The article concludes with a consideration of the role played by decentralization processes and aid programs in entrenching poverty and inequality among local communities The goal of this article is to advance the understanding of how co-management frameworks may benefit from adopting a transregional perspective in the identification of local systems of coastal and marine tenure a former littoral hub positioned at the periphery of major commercial systems in the Indo-Pacific region Although this settlement is in a relatively remote location when compared to other islands such as Java and Sumatra it represents a vital center within the larger Nusa Tenggara Timur and Maluku provinces Ende is second in importance to other towns like Kupang in Timor and constitutes a significant step in the movement of commodities and raw materials toward the eastern parts of the archipelago The case study argues that more attention be paid to the role of transregional maritime networks and navigational practices that are embedded within local tenure systems to understand the apparent absence of formal control of marine and coastal resources the objectives are to identify the presence of indigenous institutions that regulate access and use of fishing territories and specific stocks and to document the existence of broader transregional norms and conventions dictating proper fishing and navigation By exploring the interactions between nested systems of local and transregional regulations and more recent fishery development policies the goal is to discuss some of the obstacles to implementing sustainable co-management strategies in port-towns such as Ende and aid programs in increasing inequality among local communities and Co-Governance Frameworks in Eastern Indonesia As a result of the multi-ethnic fabric of coastal hubs fishing communities residing in them can be highly heterogeneous in how they value and manage resources The combination of local indigenous rules with exposure to broader transregional nautical usages and maritime conventions creates a constellation of diverse institutions regulating fishing activities the access to stocks and potential commodities or even preferences regarding the adoption of technology While shared conventions and usages predominated in nautical and economic settings practices and rules were deeply embedded at the local level in the social and cultural structures of indigenous adat the types of tenure rights and the ability of certain institutions to enact them were directly determined and subordinated to an individual’s group membership (adscription to lineages) adat denoted pre-existing ancestral structures with a solid sphere of influence in arbitrating cases related to kinship or reciprocity obligations Regarding the management and use of natural resources and moral beliefs closely tied to origin narratives and cosmologies the impact of the new regulations on customary management introduced by the central Indonesian government is yet to be determined coastal Endenese villages in the regency’s southern areas have not gained proper legal recognition either as adat (masyarakat adat) or as traditional communities (masyarakat tradisional) Map of Ende Regency and trade towns of Eastern Indonesia The lack of resources to support enforcement has resulted in a game of cat-and-mouse between fishermen and authorities These parties usually include nets or fiber boats and prioritize the formation of fishing clusters and cooperative arrangements rather than capacity development Data were collected over 22 months of fieldwork in Ende with visits in 2009 and 2010 Follow-up visits to Jakarta took place in 2013 along with responses to demographic surveys constitute the major sources of data for the thematic analysis A total of 140 semi-structured interviews and conversations with fishermen (n: 130) and officers and administrative personal from the local fishing commission and the marine police (n: 10) were carried out from 2011 to 2013 a total of 60 interviews were tape-recorded with consent from participants All interviews followed a common guide that included specific questions on local resource management practices such as customary usages and rules and fishing regulation (authorities responsible for controlling access at the village level); normal fishing activities and fishing clusters; reciprocity and obligations; fishing behavior and responsibilities at sea; and fishery policies in relation to other types gear Additional information from informal conversations was also captured in field notes and diaries Interviews and conversations were conducted in Bahasa Indonesia with the support of three Indonesian research assistants Demographic and basic fishing information including earnings from fishing by month and season estimates of calendar month fishing effort and ownership of gear and normal fishery targets per season was also obtained through a specific survey and included a total of 135 households in the villages of Ipy Results from the demographic questionnaire in conjunction with official fishing surveys documenting fishing effort from the local fishing office and reports from the Indonesian statistical office in Ende from 2009 through 2019 (Badan Pusat Statistik Ende) In addition to ethnographic fieldwork in Eko Reko and Ipy villages starting with visits in 2009 and concluding at the end of 2012 the researcher participated in public meetings on the topics of environmental protection and socialization carried out in April and September of 2012 the researcher presented preliminary results on non-sustainable practices and fishing effort among local officers and fishermen representatives the researcher was present as part of the audience in a training session on management policies for environmental conservation and actualize findings from fieldwork and archival research if managers seek to identify specific principles that only apply to the marine world without considering land-ocean interdependences are tailored to manage coastal or marine resources I carefully discuss findings pertaining to the regulation of marine and coastal resources as well as fishing and navigation behavior Coastal Endenese possess several institutions seeking to manage or harvest specific fisheries and coastal organisms which are deeply embedded in religious and cultural practices there are rules and prohibitions related to the fishing of red snapper (ikan kakap merah or “iká asa,” Lutjanus campechanus; “iká ziké,” Lutjanidae spps.) When entering known habitats of red snapper fishermen are to follow specific behavior rules These areas are known as pantangan or pemali (“pire”) terms that indicate the existence of a taboo or stand in their canoe at the risk of disturbing the fish underneath if someone finds a spot where red snapper bite that person has priority in accessing the fishing ground the following days Others can only enter the area after the lucky fisherman chooses a place and drops a line (tidak boleh masuk duluan) If the order of precedence is not respected offenders will not capture any fish for the duration of that lunar month Taboo areas are part of a larger set of spatial locations recognized by all yet owned by no one some of these locations were referred to as angker (cursed) by the interviewees visiting these spaces can lead to mystical encounters and nets being so heavy that several men cannot pull them Some fishermen even described being deceived and or warned by spirits rules about red snappers are directly inherited from their ancestors (nenek moyang) Their origin is in a legend that accounts for how Endenese were taught and granted permission to fish by a red snapper’s spirit Other Endenese traditional narratives mention sailfish and dugongs as sharing a common ancestry with humans; and portray marlin Whereas some of these legends do not often prohibit species harvesting they may limit the sale or use of the carcasses and parts numerous individual and family level taboos restrict the consumption of marine products such as octopus Additional prescriptions are associated with illness from collecting items (pearls and thorn or branch corals) without the custodian spirits’ permission or when squandering valuable objects a few respondents indicated that there were additional ritual traditions and special rules to follow to harvest “ika ipú” (ikan bandeng Chanos chanos) and “nale” (nyale These prescriptions are found in the regency of Ende and along coastal villages in the Sikka and Manggarai regencies in Flores Fish fry are harvested during their upstream migration Sea worms become more numerous in the annual low tide Both species are associated with changes in seasons the flocks of small milkfish are seen in the beaches of Mbu’u and Nanganesa and in the coast of Nangapanda during April and May adat chiefs or elders keep calculations based on prior occurrences Prohibitions are in place surrounding the harvesting with people being forbidden from crowding the coast at the risk of scaring the organisms Permissions are granted after envoys observe sufficient numbers of stocks Access to nearby maritime and coastal resources is loosely regulated at the village level with anyone residing within the village or neighboring areas being able to exploit associated fishing grounds at will The local jurisdiction of fishing areas extends to approximately 3 miles offshore a practical distance that encompasses what the eye can see Areas may have expanded or contracted in the past depending on warfare Fishing grounds often include reef areas (“peró iká,” coral fish places) where only small nets and lines can be deployed Fishermen perceive local grounds as a commons: no one from the village owns or exclusive rights over these spaces and outsiders are precluded from using them without appropriate permissions Endenese beaches and tidal flats (“meti tu’u”) positioned directly in front of the village are also communally owned the fishing grounds and nearshore habitats around Ende receive the visit of foreign Indonesian Bajau and Buginese fishermen seeking sea cucumbers (Holothuria spps. Local village chiefs are responsible for granting permission to use local commons to outsiders after the payment of a small fee The amount or kind of payment may include a percentage of gains permission to operate in a village’s fishing grounds is not always conceded During my research I encountered a village head who refused access to Bajau fishermen to protect local yields (jaga hasil laut nelayan) and because they associated this group with coral blasting I found that village chiefs did not care to impose any restrictions or that when they did their enforcement was lax No limitations existed on the amount of resources that foreigners could harvest since those products were not regularly extracted by the local fishermen Endenese did not oppose the activities of the Bajau they were upset by the complacent attitude shown by most village chiefs who regarded fishing grounds as open access rather than communally regulated commons and allowed the unrestricted exploitation of valuable products Previous examples may suggest that Endenese have ineffective mechanisms to control the harvesting of certain resources there are very clearly delineated prescriptions regarding the types of gear that can be deployed within a village’s fishing grounds pukat lampara) are not allowed within nearshore habitats and tidal areas While these norms are followed and adhered to by a large proportion of the local fishermen changes in boat sizes and mechanization have created new challenges to their enforcement conflicts had been proliferating between canoe fishermen and larger boats in terms of the deployment of bigger nets and neon lights The reason was the lack of a clear ordinance from the district fishing commission regulating larger lampara boats’ activities in nearby grounds While said regulation seems to have been in place and poorly respected most large-scale fishermen were conveniently unaware of their existence or willingly chose to break the rules (see for example some village chiefs were complicit (kepala desa tidak keras allowing illegal or indiscriminate practices interviewees also reported the presence of larger Indonesian and Korean tankers in offshore areas (more than 12 miles) these fishing grounds were under provincial or central government level controls and required specific permits (Izin Usaha Perikanan Since most Endenese fishermen did not venture into the open seas except for seafaring or traveling they did not trouble themselves with the larger tankers local fishermen were invited on board to receive a gift of frozen fish or when traveling together and choosing fishing spots there is a proper set of navigational practices and courtesies that must be observed whether in coastal fishing spots or more distant fishing grounds customs dictate that the new party should ask politely for permission (mintah sopan) and offer a small gift of fish or cigarettes since departure times coincide with the low tide it is common for local fishermen to travel the distance to fishing grounds as a group or convoy (rombongan If along the way or when arriving at suitable spot one of the boats decides to stop The rest of the group must pass the boat and can only stop in locations that do not interfere with the fishing activities of the first vessel It is expected that newcomers will keep a proper distance and will not deploy their gear in a way that may affect the captures of other boats when setting a long gill net in deeper waters fishermen position their boat at the “top of the current.” The boat navigator may use a line with a small weight to assess the direction of the current and throw the net end overboard over the boat’s side that faces the wind the fishermen continue to deploy the net by moving the boat at an angle to the current allowing the net to drift without tangling Net setting is a process that is done quickly but with a high level of skill and expertise The operation is challenging given that Endenese gill nets can range in length Because currents change with the tide and conditions at sea may affect water layers the nets can get tangled or even sink if not properly set early on great care is taken among the fishermen to provide sufficient space in their maneuvers not to hamper others’ performance an order of precedence is respected that prevents latecomers from deploying their gear in a way that intercepts fishing stocks and prevents them from reaching other fishermen’s nets Interviewees explained this as harus [lewat] arus di bawah arriving vessels and their nets must not cut or traverse the ocean current from the top (where other boats are standing) The newcomers should position themselves south of the flowing current to prevent the entanglement with pre-existing fishing nets and the luring of targeted stocks with their lamps A similar more simplified principle of precedence applies to canoes which rely on hook and line for their captures because they relocate multiple times in a single trip to accommodate changes in currents they are constantly aware of whether they may be intruding or impinging upon another fisherman’s space Other types of fishing gear such as fishing traps and aggregating devices (rompong) should be also clearly marked with floats and buoys to prevent accidents though one interviewee indicated that in the past prohibition signs were also placed in fishing cages Endenese have clear long-standing rules that must be followed Orders of arrival and precedence are observed when entering fishing grounds Placing the boat in the wrong location or too close to others (terlalu dekat) is considered both a breach of etiquette and a significant offense When the violation of one of these conventions occurs there is no standard or predetermined way to penalize infractors they would suffer recriminations and disapproval from others; consequences would affect all daily life interactions in the village the spirit of adat rules requires people to be respectful in all instances a system that strictly sanctions when someone speaks out of turn or disrespects important topics (jangan omong sembarangan circumspection must predominate in all social interactions Discretion and sobriety must also extend to implementing sanctions in the cases where the gravity of offenses could not be ignored local fishermen would directly tell infractors that they were not the first to arrive (aku yang dulu Conflicts between smaller sampan and lampara boats often played out in this context with fishermen complaining about the larger vessels’ neon lights making nets visible to the fish or drawing stocks away and Endenese fishermen may resort to damaging or stealing fishing gear such as lamps and flotation devices As it was explained to me by an older fisherman the making of a living requires constant and persisting efforts and also poses dangerous perils and threats to the unprepared One needs to be receptive to God in order to receive his grace but also be constantly guarded against the deceptions of djins and the devil While reflecting in spirit broader transregional conventions Endenese rules and moral beliefs are deeply woven into indigenous customary institutions and Islamic syncretism adat governs all economic and civil transactions aboard a vessel the allocation of shares and responsibilities they were mandated to respect their captain and papelele (often part of the same family) They were also required to help in fixing the nets and fishing gear take part in communal work (“kema lambo,” work in boat) and participate in ceremonies and religious prayers (Fatiha) customary obligations stipulated a remuneration system for those that helped fishermen haul their boat when onshore or transport and process captures with the allocation of different parts of the fish according to rank and effort adat dictated that a fisherman ought to share his fortune with family members (bagi-bagi) without expecting a commensurate remuneration (kamu punya rezeki Reciprocity is both tinted by local notions of kinship and Islamic values It was referred to me as the “zekat” (zakat an obligatory payment and one of the five mandatory pillars for Muslims) mandated reciprocity can also be a cause of complaint Many fishermen indicate that adat kinship obligations kept them at subsistence levels (adat rugi interviewees described other adat practices in terms of safety and when going fishing during the rainy and windy season if one person has departed in rapidly deteriorating weather conditions others have to follow to ensure safe return constant surveillance and awareness of who is at sea are normal among Endenese neighbors with rescue efforts often bringing together several villages to procure aid It should be noted that, like other adat systems of Eastern Indonesia (Zerner, 1994; Pannell, 1997) some of the rules currently in place have suffered important changes over time due to the pressures imposed by colonization Interviewees attributed key changes in the system of shares and profit distribution as a result of the growing influence of the papele in the early decades of the 1980s and 1990s The more recent introduction of fishing mechanization policies in the early 2000s and 2010s has led to the adoption of bigger lampara boats With changes in labor dynamics and wealth concentration crew-patron relationships have been revitalized are rapidly evolving into purely economic relations and leading to a more intensive exploitation of maritime and coastal resources During my interviews and conversations with local fishery officers and managers I came across the same explanation of why most efforts to regulate coastal resources and develop the fishery had failed: orang Ende tidak punya adat (the Endenese people do not know customary law) Coastal Endenese do follow a series of norms and rules to control access to local fishing grounds Lack of awareness of customary principles and their application to all transactions concerning marine and coastal ecosystems could be explained by the absence of significant interactions between managers and fishermen As many fishermen said: orang perikanan tidak turun ke pantai (the fishery managers do not come visit the coast) Regarding non-sustainable practices, and despite reports to the contrary by fishery officers and media articles (de Rosary, 2020; Pius, 2020), I found that there is broad resistance to coral blasting and potassium use among the local communities (Ramenzoni, 2013b) Most fishermen saw a connection between the reduction in the size of the catch over the last 30 years and damaging fishing practices directly blaming illegal fishing for the current situation With some exceptions depending on the village they would actively report anyone who uses bombs in local fishing grounds The use of explosives was equated to non-halal ways of making money and described as rezeki kotor (dirty luck) and barang panas (hot items) dynamite use is still prevalent due to the existence of what were considered valid excuses The majority of interviewed fishermen were disappointed by long-standing institutional promises to provide more powerful engines or contracts with processing plants to develop the fishery Non-sustainable practices such as coral blasting provided a way of drawing attention to local plights and the inefficacy of current policies it was said during conversations that only people in elevated positions and those involved in the administration of the village received government support which were sometimes called free-riders or parasites (“umpang”) given that they only had their workforce to sell continued to have no access to any kind of aid or welfare They were angry that the DPK would not respect their preferences a fisherman said: orang di sini tidak bisa punya pikiran sendiri diri the people here are not allowed to think for themselves any kind of policy originating from the government was seen as not transparent and increasing inequality (orang miskin tambah miskin the rules for obtaining aid were in open conflict with longstanding principles of independence and luck that dominated the larger Southeast Asian maritime world rooted in religious ideas about the relation between diligent work and God’s blessings dictated that success was an individual achievement and general wealth were fruits of hard labor and initiative reflecting the patient dedication (surrender) to Allah Because it was only through an individual’s effort that spiritual and material gains were obtained local fishermen saw the sharing of ownership in their means of production (boats and nets) as subordinating their capacity for action to the willingness of others It must be emphasized that fishermen were not against collaboration in general they were skeptical of the notion that working with others would prove fruitful and felt that policy requirements were diminishing their agency the high level of frustration with the DPK and the onerous customary obligations that Endenese had to comply with in terms of reciprocity and patronage systems and the blatant corruption shown by the distribution of aid led many fishermen to dismiss subsidies altogether while formal legal instruments from the government reinforce some of these norms (i.e. other widespread and deeply naturalized rules such as the sharing of captures and spatial usages are not contemplated within policies There is a gap in the understanding of how Endenese communities regulate marine environments and of the cultural value of independence leading to the idea among fishery managers that tenure institutions are weak or inexistent in the disenfranchisement of local communities their lack of participation in decision-making and their exclusion in the design and application of management solutions the implementation of co-management policies based purely on the existence of adat or categories such as masyarakat tradisional in port-towns and highly cosmopolitan coastal hubs like Ende cannot only be challenging but also lead to policy failures and further environmental degradation it is captured in the justifications voiced by officials that Endenese do not have an adat or strong institutions awareness of the biases and asymmetries in the application of co-governance programs how such schemes may dismiss the influence of transregional and localized cosmologies constitutes a much-needed step to finding representative solutions in an increasingly globalized world where unity in diversity (bhinneka tunggal ika) has become a national declaration of religious and cultural tolerance legalistic pluralism is paramount to

Wolodymyr Selenskyj zeigte sich in seiner abendlichen Ansprache siegessicher. Seit einer Woche läuft die ukrainische Offensive in der Region Kursk - und für den Kreml ist die Bilanz alles andere als erfreulich. Mehr als 130.000 Menschen müssen ihre Häuser verlassen, Dutzende Ortschaften werden durch die Ukrainer eingenommen. Präsident Selenskyj sieht den Sieg in greifbarer Nähe. Nach eigener Darstellung kontrolliert die Ukraine inzwischen etwa 1000 Quadratkilometer des russischen Staatsgebiets. Dies entspricht etwas mehr als der Fläche Berlins. Selenskyj veröffentlichte in sozialen Medien ein Video eines entsprechenden Berichts von Armeechef Olexandr Syrskyj zur Offensive in der Oblast Kursk. Deren Gouverneur, Alexej Smirnow, hatte zuvor erklärt, die Ukraine sei zwölf Kilometer vorgerückt und habe 28 Ortschaften unter ihre Kontrolle gebracht. 04:52 min Politik 12.08.24 Jäger blickt auf Kursk-Offensive "Ukraine hat erreicht, dass Russland Grenze sichern muss" Der bekannte ukrainische Militär-Telegramkanal "DeepState" berichtete dagegen von mindestens 44 "befreiten" Ortschaften in der Oblast Kursk. "Der Status von zehn weiteren Ortschaften ist unbekannt", hieß es. "Dies ist eine äußerst konservative Schätzung". Eine unabhängige Prüfung der Angaben ist derzeit nicht möglich. Kursk liegt nordöstlich der Ukraine. Die ukrainischen Truppen überquerten am 6. August überraschend die Grenze. Nach russischen Angaben wurden inzwischen rund 120.000 aus der Region Kursk und 11.000 weitere aus Teilen der Nachbarregion Belgorod evakuiert. 02:01 min Politik 13.08.24 Moskau soll "Gigantisches" planen Ukraine: 1000 Quadratkilometer russisches Gebiet erobert Putin erklärte bei einer Sitzung zur Lage im Grenzgebiet die Regierung in Kiew versuche "mithilfe ihrer westlichen Herren" sich in eine bessere Position für etwaige Verhandlungen zu bringen Nach seinen Angaben hat die russische Armee dagegen entlang der restlichen etwa 1000 Kilometer langen Front ihr Vorrücken beschleunigt In der Tat meldete die Ukraine schwere Kämpfe im Donbass Einmal mehr versuchten die russischen Streitkräfte die ukrainischen Stellungen rund um Torezk und Pokrowsk zu durchbrechen wie der Generalstab in Kiew in seinem abendlichen Lagebericht mitteilte Bei Torezk seien die russischen Bodentruppen auch von einem Dutzend Luftangriffen unterstützt worden Schwere Gefechte lieferten sich russische Angreifer und ukrainische Verteidiger rund um Pokrowsk Insgesamt seien im Tagesverlauf rund 25 Vorstöße russischer Einheiten registriert worden von denen ein Großteil abgeschlagen worden sei Zum Stand der ukrainischen Gegenoffensive bei Kursk macht der Generalstab keine detaillierten Angaben dass russische Artillerie und Kampfflugzeuge versuchten Stellungen der ukrainischen Streitkräfte bei Sumy im Osten des Landes anzugreifen Das Gebiet um Sumy gilt als Nachschublinie und Aufmarschgebiet für die Offensive bei Kursk Russland kontrolliert nach seinem Einmarsch im Februar 2022 gegenwärtig etwa 18 Prozent der Ukraine die die Regierung in Moskau 2014 einseitig für annektiert erklärt hatte Der Sekretär des russischen Sicherheitsrates Von der Wirtschaft über das Klima bis hin zur Rolle der EU im Weltgeschehen beleuchtet diese Talkshow europäische Angelegenheiten und die Themen die sich auf unser tägliches Leben als Europäer auswirken um die Besonderheiten der europäischen Politik zu verstehen Tiefgehende Gespräche mit Führungskräften aus der Wirtschaft Wasserressourcen in Europa stehen unter wachsendem Druck Dürren und Überschwemmungen fordern ihren Tribut von unserem Trinkwasser Begleiten Sie uns auf einer Reise durch Europa und erfahren Sie wie unser Abwasser besser bewirtschaftet werden kann und entdecken Sie einige der besten Wasserlösungen animierte Erklärungen und Live-Diskussionen - erfahren Sie Wir präsentieren Ihnen die aktuellsten Klimadaten der weltweit wichtigsten Quellen Wir analysieren Trends und lassen uns die Veränderung der Welt von Experten erklären die nach neuen Strategien zur Bekämpfung des Klimawandels suchen Als "historisch" bezeichnete Björn Höcke die Wahlergebnisse in Thüringen Nach der Landtagswahl in Sachsen und Thüringen sprache er in der Wahlsendung im ARD und teilte gegen die "Altparteien" aus Die Werte bei der Demokratiezufriedenheit in Thüringen seien auf das „dämliche Brandmauer-Gerede“ zurückzuführen Höcke will die anderen Parteien zu Gesprächen einladen "Die Altparteien sollten sich erstmal in Demut üben Sie sollten jetzt erstmal dieses Votum des Thüringer Serveräns wahrnehmen was die Menschen mittlerweile auf die Palme bringt dass 88% der Thüringer Demokratieunterstützer sind aber nur 45% sind mit ihrem Zustand zufrieden" Die Christdemokraten sind in Thüringen auf den zweiten Platz zurückgefallen Im benachbarten Sachsen liegen leicht vorn CDU-Ministerpräsident Michael Kretschmer will Koalitionsgespräche angehen und weiter regieren Die Grünen haben in beiden Bundesländern schlecht abgeschnitten Der Fraktionsvorsitzende der Partei im Deutschen Bundestag sagt er sei mehr enttäuscht über das starke Abschneiden der AfD als über das schlechten Ergebnis seiner eigenen Partei Co-Vorsitzender der Grünen: "Mein Schmerz heute Abend ist unwichtig im Vergleich zu der Tatsache dass wir eine tiefeZäsur haben und eine offen rechtsextreme Partei zum ersten Mal seit 1949 stärkste Kraft geworden ist ein einem Landtag Und das macht ganz vielen Leuten große Sorgen."

able to use it And now we are celebrating a couple of anniversaries of his work: the 50th anniversary of Momo in 2023 and the 45th anniversary of The Neverending Story in 2024 We’re taking this opportunity to learn more about a creator in the labyrinth of tradition and contemporaneity a writer in the mirror of literature as a reflection of the universe a neverending author in a puzzle with infinite combinations Ende was fated to ask questions about the labyrinth and its puzzles in the contemporary world given the correspondence between his surname and the title of his most famous work: Ende is because he and his work are all about imagination He didn't need to write too many titles before he was admired by young and old alike he is best known as the author of The Neverending Story (1979) Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver (1960) the play Jojo: Story of a Mountebank (1982) and the endless Mirror in the Mirror: A Labyrinth (1984) The infinite variety of his readers also makes him an entire library The exhibition curator: Joaquim Noguero Gas is an essential part of the modern Germany-Russia relations From the beginning of the cooperation in this field — from the 1960s to February 2022 — both countries stubbornly called those relations economic Sometimes this cooperation had to be placed in a political context — the principle of Wandel durch Handel (“Changes through trade” in German) claimed that it was the way for promoting peaceful coexistence in the polar world of the Cold War era (Patrick After the Wall fell and the Soviet Union collapsed the trade (positioned solely as an economic activity) acquired the status of an effective political tool for democratization of the totalitarian society The construction of Nord Stream 2 began in 2015 after Russia annexed Crimea sent its troops to the eastern regions of Ukraine Both the agreements of the past centuries and Nord Stream provoked the reactions of the international community: historically the USA was against the energy dependence of the European countries on the USSR/RF whereas the countries of Central and Eastern Europe emphasized that the creation of a pipeline bypassing the territories of these countries — both Nord Streams were installed on the Baltic sea bed — would release the Russian government from any restrictions on pursuing an aggressive expansionist policy towards them (Deutsche Welle as the leader and one of the most powerful economies and politics of the European Union Germany did not take those arguments seriously and continued to be involved in what it called “economic relations.” Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 fully demonstrated the energy dependence of Germany on the Russian Federation Many articles in the international media were devoted to the history and analysis of this dependence In the Western world of the liberal pacifism the belief in the possibility of cooperating with authoritarian regimes and controlling them through economic interdependence seemed to be the best recipe against wars after the “end of history” The practice where the “pipelines and gas” was the first act (seemingly) worked perfectly: Russia would not violate international regulations to continue trading and make a profit news about Nord Stream 2 returned to the pages of German newspapers and its detonation damaged three of the four strings of the pipeline neither Nord Stream 1 nor Nord Stream 2 are operative but the cause is not the destruction of gas networks — Nord Stream 2 has no certification and is not allowed to work Nord Stream 1 stopped supplying gas after the full-scale invasion and refused to allow European countries to pay for this service in rubles The result of the German investigation is an arrest warrant issued against a Ukrainian citizen journalist articles primarily focused on the alleged escape of the suspect from Poland to Ukraine as well as speculations about whether President Volodymyr Zelensky was aware of and responsible for this detonation there was no summary — “in previous series” — of the history of the gas pipeline construction or revision of the history of Germany-Russia gas relations Many explanatory articles were written in the wake of the desire to clear up what Germany did not understand about Russia and how it happened that authoritarian Russia could function much easier without economic relations with Germany and Europe than Germany could without cheap gas there were clearly articulated (but mostly not mainstream) voices about the historical responsibility of Germany to Ukraine — both during World War II and in recent times weak reaction to the annexation of Crimea and occupation of the eastern regions Even though the German high-ranking officials publicly uttered phrases such as “we were wrong,” “Nord Stream 2 was a mistake,” and “we did a lot of things wrong” (Patrick this assessment did not end with investigations regarding the German officials who lobbied Russian interests in the German foreign and domestic policy for years no analysis of their imperial practices was made The Leak. Das Ende der Pipeline (“Leak The End of the Pipeline”) exhibition by Philipp Goll which was shown from April to September 2024 in Leipzig’s Museum of Fine Arts (Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig) also speaks about Russia-Germany gas relations The optics used by the artists in their work were radically different from the established media ways of reading and talking about these countries’ gas relations The photo is from the MdbK website and is courtesy of Oleksiy Radynski The discourse built and spread by the empire sooner or later becomes total; if a nation is not lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time (that is to gain independence from the empire) this nation disappears as a subject of history and becomes a part of the empire One of the walls presents the chronology of Germany-Russia gas contracts — “Timeline: Das Ende der Pipeline” by Philipp Goll — from the purchase of pipes by tsarist Russia from Mannesmann (the German company) at the turn of the ХІХ-ХХ centuries to the “sobering” of Germany in 2022 The critical event in this chronology is the discovery of the Urengoy gas field in the 1960s Its inexhaustible reserves and Russia’s willingness to sell them at a moderate price were attractive to industries in West Germany and other European countries that urgently needed the resources for their ambitious development Drivers of this agreement on the part of West Germany were banks and owners of big businesses (Mannesmann was an active player in this process) while policymakers of the country were not the loudest advocates of the agreement businesses argued that the state apparatus should not interfere with free economic relations the West German policy after World War II was extremely negative towards any international initiatives proposed by the Soviet Union being ready for a possible attack by Soviet forces from the territory of East Germany from the position of a superpower and leader of the free world had an influence on the political processes in Western Europe and experience of entering into conflicts with the USSR on the territories of third countries was suspicious of any relations of democratic countries with the USSR (Schattenberg The turning point in this story is the assumption of power by Willy Brandt the Chancellor of Germany famous for the act of kneeling in front of the memorial to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising — and his active search for ways to reconcile with East Germany and the Warsaw Pact countries (Ostpolitik) the view of economic interdependence as a “he who trades does not make war” model prevailed (Patrick does not consider the political context or calculate the consequences at all the world lived in fear of a possible nuclear war; democratic countries skeptical about the intentions of the USSR were accumulating weapons and preparing for World War III An obstacle for the USSR in the arms race was the lack of currency for purchasing specific foreign equipment the analogs of which did not exist in the Soviet Union By signing the “agreement of the century,” as the gas contracts of the USSR and the Federal Republic of Germany were called in the media the central European country undertook to sponsor the Union with foreign currency for the next decade Another important point that Goll discusses in his chronology is the ecological dimension of these relations gas relations between (West) Germany and (USSR) Russia were based on Willy Brandt’s desire to make “the sky over the Ruhr region blue again”; therefore the use of gas instead of coal was perceived as an effective solution Europeans were not interested in the price of laying a gas pipeline construction of transport lines in the north of Russia and other infrastructure related to this industry and the Soviet authorities were not interested in the Siberian ecosystems either publications analyzing the region’s catastrophe started to appear Goll refers to the book by the dissident Boris Komarov (real name: Ze’ev Wolfson) “The Destruction of Nature in the Soviet Union” which talks about degradation of the tundra ecosystem and pollution of the Baikal Island The film “Where Russia Ends” by Oleksiy Radynski takes a prominent place at the exhibition Radynski says that the idea of this work arose from the films found in the Kyivnaukfilm archive Archival tapes show the landscapes of Siberia episodes from the life of the local population and shots of interaction between people and animals of the region There are also production scenes: workers welding pipes The final intentions of the authors of these materials are not known the period of stagnation and oppression of the national cultures in the Soviet republics the viewer (who grew up in the countries of the former USSR) can imagine the narrative accompaniment of this footage when an object is reinvented and its message is changed The material filmed by Ukrainians about Siberia and landscapes is accompanied by a soundtrack that reveals to the viewer the history of occupation of the region as well as colonial practices of the Russians from renaming of local ethnic groups (instead of the native name and the Ligoravetlans to Chukchi) to indifferent attitude towards the areas of life and movement of the local fauna endangering the survival practices of both the animals and the indigenous population he consulted with representatives of Indigenous peoples allowing him to find space for the story of the nameless (in this case with a distorted name) — a story about himself The audio track in the form of diary notes also informs the viewer about the attempts of the peoples of Siberia to gain political agency in 1990 — the regions of Siberia announced the Declarations of State Sovereignty all the national republics that would later declare their independence and separate from the imperial center passed this stage The regions of Russia proclaimed state sovereignty to expand their political identity or gain independence Russia stopped the region’s emancipation the Ukrainian film crew itself was under (Soviet) occupation and its optics echoed the imperial optics of the Russians regarding Siberia It was a kind of symbolic occupation of the land physically captured by your common metropole which turns the archival footage into an educational film and tells the story of the occupation and genocidal practices of the Russians against the indigenous peoples of the North breaks the cycle of colonial entropy and postulates colonial solidarity instead The artist pitches his complete work as an anti-colonial road movie the critical thought of the work at large presents itself in the exposition space — Siberia and the ethnic groups of this territory are under Russia’s occupation Siberian lands and all of the mineral resources within belong to the Russians who drain them with a colonial logic — taking everything valuable or sound from the colony using its lands as store-rooms and not as a home one should take care of and look after the artists partake in current discussions about the decolonization of Russia Aside from the desire to enable occupied nations and ethnic groups to gain political agency the issue of Russia’s decolonization is also raised in connection with the question: “What does Ukraine winning in the Ukrainian-Russian war mean?” “What does Russia losing mean?” The intention to design a strategy for preventing similar wars in the future drives the Western world to conceptualize and imagine a Russia free of imperial ambitions Radynski’s approach seems straightforward and radical (Summary of texts and interviews by Saltaiev The third part of the exposition — Leak by Hito Steyerl — consists of screens placed on a large wall displaying images that move like liquid inside pipes The main theme is nurturing the discourse around this pipeline as a manifestation of friendship between German and (Soviet) Russian people Culture is the basic tool of its construction private companies like Mannesnamm AG and Deutsche Bank cooperated with the USSR Ministry of Culture to arrange exhibitions of Russian (Soviet) art and display it in German cities while German art was shown in the Soviet Union Those cultural projects were dubbed a “cultural pipeline” (sic!) bringing the two cultures closer and adding value to gas supply contracts Standing out in this portion of the exposition are four minutes of an actual WDR channel report reproduced by the artist The journalist storyline centers around a German and a Soviet official animatedly discussing the benefits of their cooperation the German asks his colleague whether he knows a joke about the Chukchi further noting that he is not sure if one should tell jokes of this kind because the Chukchi are not fond of them just like Frisians are not fond of jokes about Frisians an indigenous population of the coastal lands of Germany having the status and protections of a national minority The political party Die Friesen had been promoting the necessity of Frisians’ political representation in the government since 2007 Jokes about Frisians belong to the category of chauvinistic jokes about representatives of other nations/ethnic groups in which they are depicted as unintelligent and primitive Reading Goll’s timeline and viewing Radynski’s film we understand that yet another story of colonialism is in front of us: the metropole has won and ultimately controls the discourse That is why there are no discussions of the occupation of those nations and their lands A surprising fact is that the West German private property owners and policymakers were aware of the colonial abuse but that did not stop them from being a contributor and beneficiaries the context which gave rise to this artwork and also all the explanations of Germany’s reliance on Russia and Germany’s unwillingness to become a loyal ally of Ukraine in its fight against the Russian invader make one hark back to the World War II experience and importance of Ukrainian lands in the Nazi’s fantasies While the intention to find a final solution to the Jewish question (and the successful implementation thereof at all locations of mass execution of Jews and in extermination camps) is talked about at the international level which was no less important and desirable for him the goal of turning Ukrainian and Belarusian lands into a perfect Lebensraum meant as an idyllic farming space for the Germans And the Ukrainian and Belarusian populations were meant to be reduced drastically (this is no secret that Hitler had plans for having the inhabitants of large Ukrainian cities killed by starvation) The plan did not materialize not because Hitler had changed his mind; his plans of overturning the communist power in Moscow and subsequently destroying Moscow and Peterburg fell through; the Red Army launched an offensive and started recapturing the occupied territories so he had neither time nor resource to perform those large-scale killings (Snyder With this colonial dream not having been talked through we ultimately get contemporary Germans (Traverso 2022) who would hate to offend Russians because of all the things the Germans had done to them during World War II Ukrainians and Belarusians occupied by the Soviet power simply do not exist in this guilt trip — an obvious sign of imperial haughtiness concerning the so-called small peoples It was recently revealed that a German deputy from the AfD (Alternative for Germany) party engaging Belarusian political prisoners for his farm work The German politician regularly visited the farm and followed up on the work progress This collaboration began in 2020 — the year of Belarusian protests against Oleksandr Lukashenko who had tampered with the elections yet another time It is no wonder that the right-wing forces of Saxony (the federal land where Dornau serves as deputy) do not regard this as a problem: transforming Belarus into a farming heaven and overseeing prisoner work is a literal reiteration of Hitler’s plans regarding Central and Eastern Europe territories which tells through artistic devices the story of the free democratic and liberal Germany depending on the authoritarian and despotic Russia is a demonstration of how easy it is for empires that had not reflected on their imperial complex to come to an understanding and exploit colonies together Since none of the journalist or academic materials I perused while preparing this piece did not articulate the colonial nature of the agreement there is a temptation to succumb to optimistic self-suggestion and say that the statements by Goll and Steyerl managed to become a fracture in the international discourse of not seeing knowing or intentionally hushing up the fact that Russia’s gas does not belong to it and that Siberia is a territory occupied by Russia Whether this is or is not the case remains to be seen And Ukrainians have to stick with reiterating the moral political imperative voiced by Oleksiy Radynski: all the lands under the Russian occupation will be freed in the long run Write to editors@artslooker.com if you find errors notice copyright

die Konkurrenz bei Gaming-Leistung und Effizienz Das Aus der CPU wiederum zog sich deutlich weniger aufregend in die Länge Nach Monaten steigender Preise ist die Verfügbarkeit am Ende der mit rund 400 MHz niedrigerem Turbo-Takt im Schnitt auch knapp 10 Prozent Leistung verliert im Frühjahr aber kaum günstiger in den Handel startete Die Empfehlung verblieb daher beim großen Bruder Im späteren Verlauf des Sommers allerdings wurde der Ryzen 7 5800X3D sukzessive teurer, während der langsamere Nachzügler auf rund 200 Euro fiel. Ende September kletterte der Preis der 5800X3D schließlich auf über 400 Euro, Anfang Oktober lag das günstigste im Preisvergleich gelistete Angebot zeitweise bei fast 900 Euro Attraktiv war die CPU zu diesen Konditionen ohnehin nicht mehr Stand heute ist sie allerdings im europäischen Handel gar nicht mehr verfügbar In den USA gibt es den Ryzen 7 5800X3D noch mit Preisen von gegenwärtig rund 500 USD fällt das Fazit aber ähnlich aus Hinzu kommen die Kosten für eine AM5-Platine und DDR5-Speicher (*) Bei den mit Sternchen markierten Links handelt es sich um Affiliate-Links Im Fall einer Bestellung über einen solchen Link wird ComputerBase am Verkaufserlös beteiligt Besuche ComputerBase wie gewohnt mit Werbung und Tracking Details im Privacy Center und in der Liste unserer Partner.

𝕏“Amsterdam is a city that feels like a village You can bike anywhere in 30 minutes; you can walk anywhere – it is a beautiful place to live in.”  Jacqueline van den Ende takes us to three locations close to her heart in Amsterdam and gives her take on how they could be made even better from a sustainability point of view What would van den Ende’s vision look like if it became reality “My neighborhood is one of the oldest parts of Amsterdam I love it because it is right next to the canals there are a lot of cool small restaurants and cafés but also a lot of greenery Many people walk through here and they leave their cans pizza boxes and food waste either on the streets or in the bushes I would love for that trash to be collected and put into better use.”  Fact: Currently, around 54% of the waste produced in Amsterdam is recycled, according to the city of Amsterdam the canals could be even better if the water quality improved and the canals became swimmable and if all the boats that pass through would be electric and quiet as they ship people and goods through the city.”  Fact: According to Waternet more than 110 kilograms of plastic waste is collected from Amsterdam’s waterways every day “The NDSM area is one of my favorite areas in Amsterdam It used to be a shipyard but now it has become an artistic hub with a lot of street art it is increasingly transforming into a residential area I hope for these buildings to be fully sustainable and circular intermixed with urban farms and that the area retains much of its unique cultural heritage.”  Fact: According to the city of Amsterdam construction and demolition waste represents 69% of the total waste generated in the city The top 5 sustainability trends of 2025 As the urgency to tackle climate change continues to ramp up so does the world’s approach to sustainability Harnessing emerging technologies to advance human rights in business Innovative technologies have great potential to bring transformative solutions to assess and improve human rights impacts of busine Reducing your carbon footprint through co-processing one drop at the time The world needs to reduce its dependence on fossil resources and Neste is leading the way with its renewable and circular so A ‘fundamental shift’ in sustainability reporting: the expected impact from the CSRD The biggest EU companies are working hard to prepare their first submissions under the new Corporate Sustainabilit A summer of sports: overcoming the hurdles of sustainability Sports fans worldwide are having a feast in Europe this summer as iconic live sporting events converge on the continent Neste Insights newsletterSubscribe to our exclusive newsletter for expert analysis on circular economy and renewable solutions MD passed away peacefully surrounded by his wife and sister after a short battle with sarcoma He was the loving son of Betty Ende and the late Leroy Ende; beloved husband of Kim Ende; devoted father of Delaney and Kaitlin Ende; dear brother of Christine Kestner & her husband Steve; cherished uncle of Brandon and Caden Kestner; treasured brother-in-law of Jeanine Dardaris & her husband Steve Susan Lader & her husband Lance and Bryan Harman along with many loving nieces and nephews Brian is survived by an abundance of loving Aunts Family and friends will honor Brian’s life at the Evans Life Celebration Home– 3 Newport Drive (Rt 2021 from 3-5 & 7-9 PM.  A Funeral Mass will be held on Wednesday Mark Roman Catholic Church- 2407 Laurel Brook Rd MD 21047.  Interment to follow at Highview Memorial Gardens memorial contributions may be forwarded to Kim Ende to benefit Brian’s daughter’s future Image: prozac1 / FreeDigitalPhotos.net Bnamericas Published: Tuesday, March 19, 2024 Transmission Lines Substations
