Bernier left that party and began the PPC in 2018, arguing it had abandoned conservative principles.   Liberal incumbent Terry Sheehan is seeking reelection.

Arnold Heino has officially filed his papers to run as the New Blue Party’s candidate for Sault Ste President Donald Trump’s threat of 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods.  “My feeling is that we should be working with the States economically so that Canada and the U.S can together become a greater world economic power,” he said Heino said he believes in a sovereign Canada “We both have great oil and mineral resources We have natural gas and the greatest wood products in the world but not become the 51st state as Trump says he wants the two countries could together be self-sufficient and make other countries come to us for our goods.” Heino said New Blue is in favour of removing inter-provincial trade barriers in a Team Canada approach to Trump’s tariffs.  “That only makes common sense that all provinces should be working together right from Newfoundland and Labrador to BC We're one country and Canada has the resources without hooking up with the States.” Heino has made headlines in the past for co-organizing a number of local protests targeted at Sault Pride, including a rally by a group known as 'Hands Off Our Kids' in front of the Ronald A. Irwin Civic Centre in September 2024 these were not rallies against the Pride community provincial and federal government overreach of putting Pride in schools,” Heino told SooToday after filing his candidacy papers Thursday Heino and New Blue don't want sexual orientation and gender identity taught in schools “What goes on in the bedroom with adults should stay in the bedroom That's all that needs to be taught to kids They don't need to bring this in and have Pride month in schools And the only flag that should be flown on any public building whether it be schools or government buildings The September 2024 rally was part of a larger nationwide 1 Million March 4 Children series of rallies protesting the inclusion of sexual orientation and gender identity in school curriculums Mayor Matthew Shoemaker condemned the local rally in an email as “the actions of a fringe minority." Heino said he doesn’t think the rallies will affect his campaign “I think actually they’ll enhance it because I'm here for the people I'm standing up for the community and that includes the Pride community.” Heino also recently lobbied for December to be proclaimed Christian Heritage Month At the federal level, Heino is the People's Party of Canada candidate Heino said the federal carbon tax is the primary reason for inflation and needs to be scrapped.  The New Blue Party platform also calls for a reduction in the provincial portion of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) to put more money in people’s pockets.  the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) replaced the 5 per cent federal goods and services tax (GST) and the 8 per cent retail sales tax (RST) on most goods and services in Ontario the Harmonized Sales Tax is 13 per cent in Ontario.  “We want to go from this 13 per cent and put it down to 10 per cent,” Heino said Heino said there is a way to bring more family doctors and specialists to the Sault we have to get rid of the bureaucratic overload (at health centres) It’s just like the federal government and provincial government In health care we have to get rid of the bureaucrats and the top heaviness and put it back into the actual workers and that way we can recruit more specialists and more doctors.” Heino is a semi-retired seasonal employee who works as a boat delivery person for a pontoons and powersports store in Desbarats He previously worked full-time as a meat cutter for Metro and as a lab technician for LifeLabs Progressive Conservative candidate Chris Scott is seeking to keep the Sault in PC hands and is being challenged by NDP candidate Lisa Vezeau-Allen and New Blue’s Arnold Heino The Liberals and Greens have yet to announce their candidates Jorma “Mickey” & Joyce Heino and Julie (Darin “Doob”) Welter; nieces and nephews Joy and Lily; and many relatives and friends Mark had a passion for collecting and an eye for the exquisite He could take anything apart and put it back together in working order Mark could make a broken clock chime again making even the most delicate mechanisms come back to working order He never had any children but raised several dogs throughout his life – each one just as precious And he loved his nieces and nephews with all his heart Mark was such a big part of their lives in absolutely the most special ways He never feared taking them when they were little ones with him anywhere He’d load them at any age into his car for a day trip to his lake lot or bring them along on an antiquing excursion – something he loved and even though small He had an encyclopedic knowledge of our family and town history You would think he was telling “stories” he’d made up – that just couldn’t be how it was as we called it – He loved to visit with people and discover what connected them and he’d strike up a conversation and come away with a bit more history to remember He was known throughout the antiquing world and had built so many lifelong friendships that he cherished Donations in Mark’s memory can be made to the American Heart Association (http://www.heart.org/donate) or the Two Rivers Veterinary Hospital that Mark trusted to care for his dearest pups (http://www.tworiversveterinaryhospital.com) Home » Nieuws » Professor to be seen on Netflix: astronomer Heino Falcke appears in Christmas film with Lindsay Lohan Is that the famous picture of the black hole that we see in Netflix's new Christmas movie and Professor of Astronomy Heino Falcke can also be glimpsed for a few seconds it is good to see Dutch science having an impact as far away as Hollywood.’ dad is going to be in a Christmas film with Lindsay Lohan!” That was the message posted by one of Heino Falcke’s children in the family WhatsApp group ‘I thought: what have I done now?’ says Falcke Our Little Secret is the title of the new romcom in question two resentful exes are condemned to an awkward Christmas when they find out that their new partners are brother and sister The cast includes among others Lindsay Lohan and Ian Harding The reviews have not been raving – the film scores an average rating of 5.7 out of 10 on IMDB Nijmegen Professor of Astronomy Heino Falcke does make an appearance in the film for a few seconds. Footage is shown of the unveiling of the photo of the black hole that took place in 2019 The Professor stands at a lectern at the European Commission and says ‘this is the first ever image of a black hole’ while the famous photo appears on a big screen behind him the picture of black hole is one of the most important moments of 2019’ the clip is part of a series of key moments that took place between 2014 and 2024: a time travel sequence connecting two parts of the film the overview shows the Notre-Dame fire (2019) the coronation of King Charles (2023) and Argentina’s World Cup win in 2022 the picture of black hole is one of the most important moments of 2019,’ says Falcke Permission to use the images in question was not sought from the Professor or the Event Horizon Telescope the global network of radio telescopes that photographs black holes you can see that no moving picture was used Perhaps it is a royalty-free image that the creators could find for free.’ Nor is Falcke’s real voice featured in the excerpt but in the film someone else says it – a voice actor or AI Presumably the producers did not want to pay money for an actual clip of the press conference Falcke is pleased that the latest scientific insights about black holes have found their way to the silver screen in this way old-fashioned simulation of a black hole was still used The colour of the black hole was even darker then This film helps change people’s perception of black holes.’ When the photo of the black hole was first presented, in 2019, it went viral It was seen by an estimated 4.5 billion people ‘Although I always say that 4 billion of these people probably forgot it straight away,’ says Falcke ‘Yet the photo seems to have struck a chord with people it is good to see Dutch science having an impact all the way to Hollywood.’ With this appearance in the Netflix film, the very first photo of the black hole now seems to have become a permanent element of pop culture. The photograph was also included in exhibitions at the Valkhof Museum and Museum Boerhaave in Leiden and the black hole is also increasingly turning up in paintings there is also a documentary on Netflix about black holes (The Edge of All We Know which might be more interesting than a Christmas film.’ Falcke is probably not going to watch Our Little Secret this Christmas I’ve been told that if you’ve seen one such Christmas film our family comes to visit and we go to church together – my daughter and son-in-law lead a service I find that more important than watching a film anyway.’ Do you want to leave a comment?

Heino poses a provocative question Provocative because he declares his single to be the legitimate successor to the song "Schau mal herein" Helene Fischer and Florian Silbereisen celebrated great success with the latter after its release at the end of 2024 - not least because the song went viral on TikTok Heino would probably have no objections to similar success with his new single the song has made rather negative headlines The reason for this was that critics noted that "Ein Gläschen am Morgen" trivialized alcohol consumption "In order to reach young people with 86, you have to break new ground these days," the artist told Bild, seeing himself unfairly cast in a bad light He explained that the majority of his fans perceived the song as "funny" Nude model Micaela Schäfer and TikToker Streichbruder are also supposed to help Heino with his advertising Both appear in another promotional video for "Ein Gläschen am Morgen" Fans reacted dividedly to the collaboration "I celebrate this collaboration," commented one fan another user thought he was in a "really big fever dream" Passed away peacefully at Extendicare Maple View on August 31 2024 Survived by his wife Mary Ellen Kommusaar and children Krista Brackett (Doug) and Matthew Kommusaar (Stacey) Son of the late Erika and Feliks Kommusaar and brother to Kalev Kommusaar (Sylvia) Matt was an avid outdoorsman who found solace and joy in the simplicity of fishing and hunting His presence was a constant on the boardwalk and rapids where he would spend hours immersed in the serenity of his surroundings and in conversations with friends and passersby alike He enjoyed following the activities of his grandchildren The family would like to thank Extendicare Maple View Memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society SSM & Algoma District (payable online https://alzheimer.ca/algoma/en or by cheque).  Visit www.osullivanfuneralhome.com to leave condolences for the family Arrangements entrusted to O’Sullivan Funeral Home (215 St More In Memoriam > Heino is looking forward to singing his hits in full on stage during a tour starting in May He is also planning to sing the German anthem in the halls: "Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit" Heino (86) brings the German anthem to the people On his new tour "Made in Germany" he sings his hit songs in full length on stage for the first time in 30 years - and the national anthem "Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit" Heino has deliberately chosen smaller venues with a maximum of 800 seats for the tour The tour starts on May 10 in Coswig near Dresden Heino's manager Helmut Werner said on Sunday in Dresden about the plans to sing the third verse of the "Lied der Deutschen" at the concerts: "We are sending out a signal that it will be sung all year round not just on the Day of German Unity." Heino is showing his pride in his homeland Heino sang the national anthem for a boxing match with Henry Maske this is Heino's most streamed and downloaded song at the record company far ahead of "Blau blüht der Enzian" This obvious interest is one reason to include the anthem in the concert program Singing along is expressly encouraged at performances throughout Germany I'm looking forward to singing my songs again," said Heino I have to learn my old songs by heart again and that's a lot with so many hits," said the singer who has recorded over 1,300 songs in 65 years alongside classics such as "La Paloma" and "Rosamunde" as well as "Junge" by the rock band Die Ärzte After Progressive Conservative candidate Chris Scott defeated New Democrat Lisa Vezeau-Allen by a razor thin margin of 118 votes to win the Sault Ste SooToday reached out to candidates who ran for the lesser-known parties Joining Progressive Conservative candidate Scott New Democrat Vezeau-Allen and Liberal Gurwinder Dusanjh in the contest for the riding of Sault Ste Marie were New Blue Party candidate Arnold Heino the Ontario Party’s Paul Frolich and the Green Party’s Jaycob Jacques “I was surprised by the response I got,” New Blue Party candidate Heino told SooToday in a phone interview after the polls closed Thursday The New Blue Party of Ontario has been described as a right-wing populist party “We were on Great Northern Road by Canadian Tire this week and we had a lot of honks from horns from people driving by we handed out flyers at grocery stores and other places we went to retirement homes and the feedback was really good,” Heino said a Sault resident and semi-retired seasonal employee who works as a boat delivery person for a powersports store in Desbarats said he ran for the New Blue Party because he’s done with what his party calls the overreach of the provincial and federal governments.  “I think a lot of people want to get back to the old conservative values of ‘we the people’ not ‘we the government’ and I think our politicians have forgotten that,” Heino said “What the federal government did with the lockdowns when the government locked down our country and locked down small business that was a bridge too far,” Heino said disappointed that Ontario Premier Doug Ford supported the federal government’s lockdown policies during the COVID-19 pandemic Heino is also the Peoples' Party of Canada candidate for Sault Ste Marie and intends to run for that party in the next federal election to be held later this year a Sault resident involved in property management said he ran for MPP because he was weary of the mainstream Progressive Conservatives is also classified as a right-wing populist “I'm not a big fan of Doug Ford nor that the 'Big Three' parties have turned our electoral process into a game of three-card monte "It's just a matter of time before the new smaller parties gain our footing and surpass the big three with integrity credibility and hard work,” Frolich wrote in an email The Green Party’s political platform is based on environmentalism a University of Ottawa student who is originally from Sudbury “Jaycob isn't available for media responses or appearances in this election,” the Green Party of Ontario wrote in an email Jacques received 421 votes for the Green Party The Ontario Party’s Frolich received 302 votes [email protected] Royal Canadian Legion Battlefield Branch 622 12 King St E Join us on February 6th for an evening of community engagement to raise funds for the Hamilton East—Stoney Creek riding association Don’t miss this opportunity to meet our candidate and learn about his vision for positive change as he seeks to be the next MPP for Hamilton East—Stoney Creek The price of your ticket includes light food and a cash bar will be available If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected] This event is authorized by the CFO of the Hamilton East—Stoney Creek PLA A tax receipt will be issued for the ticket price less the cost of your participation in the event That net amount is eligible for a provincial tax receipt [email protected] A fortune worth millions and lifelong right of residence: pop star Heino has signed over his luxury villa in Kitzbühel to his long-time confidante and manager - a gesture of gratitude and trust Pop singer Heino ("Blau blüht der Enzian") has signed over his villa in Kitzbühel The luxury property - with an area of 300 square meters - has an estimated value of four million euros That's not all, Heino goes even further, as "Bild.de" reports: He is also leaving Werner some of his earnings and savings, showing an extraordinary trust in his longtime manager and close confidant. Heino tells the German newspaper: "Helmut and his family are now also my family. Without them, I would be all alone now and probably in an old people's home. I love Helmut, his wife Nicole and their little son Lennie with all my heart, and that's why everything that belongs to me should also belong to them. I would bequeath everything to Helmut one day anyway, so I can share everything with him now." Hannelore, Heino's wife, died around a year ago at the age of 82. In her will, she named Heino as her sole heir. But while she was still alive, she made a far-reaching agreement with her husband and his manager Helmut Werner: should one of the two spouses die, Werner undertook to look after the surviving spouse - until the latter's death. In return, Werner was to inherit all of the couple's assets after the death of the remaining spouse. At the beginning of the year, Heino officially transferred his house in Kitzbühel to his manager Helmut Werner. The transfer took place at the Kitzbühel district court and was made possible by a special provision in the will of Heino's deceased wife Hannelore: she had specified Werner as her heir, which meant that Heino had to renounce his inheritance of the house. However, Werner did not miss the opportunity to secure Heino a lifelong, unrestricted right to live in the house, so that the singer can continue to live there alone, reports "Bild.de". Volume 15 - 2024 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2024.1346542 This article is part of the Research TopicFrom Safety to Sense of SafetyView all 17 articles Understanding and acting upon risk is notably challenging and navigating complexity with understandings developed for stable environments may inadvertently build a false sense of safety Neglecting the potential for non-linear change or “black swan” events – highly impactful but uncommon occurrences – may lead to naive optimisation under assumed stability loss aversion is seen as a cognitive bias in stable environments but it can be an evolutionarily advantageous heuristic when complete destruction is possible This paper advocates for better accounting of non-linear change in decision-making by leveraging insights from complex systems and psychological sciences which help to identify blindspots in conventional decision-making and to develop risk mitigation plans that are interpreted contextually we propose a framework using attractor landscapes to visualize and interpret complex system dynamics attractors are states toward which systems naturally evolve while tipping points – critical thresholds between attractors – can lead to profound unexpected changes impacting a system’s resilience and well-being We present four generic attractor landscape types that provide a novel lens for viewing risks and opportunities The main practical contribution is clarifying when to emphasize particular strategies – optimisation or stabilization – within this framework Context-appropriate decision making should enhance system resilience and mitigate extreme risks decision-makers and researchers usually assume stability or merely gradual changes of their operating environment This implies a focus on optimizing current practices based on past experiences thus aiming to build a sense of safety while managing proximal risks and an exaggerated emphasis on this view of relative stability can lead to an overly rosy image regarding the continuity of operations If the context – unbeknownst to the actors – in principle allows abrupt shifts or changes into alternative scenarios where they are plausible the “default” perspective of assumed stability may lead to a false sense of safety high-impact events could lead to a state of irreversible loss (“ruin”) from which recovery is impossible we discuss the potentially harmful effects of false sense of safety defined as feeling safe while neglecting the possibility of ruin We present cases where non-linear changes and the emergence of potential abrupt shifts make irreversible losses plausible and we suggest an actionable framework to make sense of complex decision-making environments to mitigate false senses of safety and develop coping and resilient strategies and show how to employ them to guide decisions Recognizing non-linear risks aids in effective risk mitigation promoting the resilience of social systems The framework introduced and discussed in this manuscript provides a conceptual basis to better recognize and categorize current states This shift could happen upon crossing a tipping point can lead to a rapid and significant transition from one attractor to another We first provide background information about false sense of safety deriving from neglecting the possibility of ruin and we survey the necessity of complex systems thinking to circumvent the limitations of widespread linear thinking we illustrate the notion of attractors in the space of possibilities forming landscapes which are central to fully appreciate the introduced framework These concepts will be employed to discuss the framework and its implications to decision-making processes In fields like insurance and probability theory the ultimate case of “ruin” and its probability are actively studied and they refer to situations from which recovery is impossible we constrain our examples to the scope of a society experiencing the threat of a novel pathogen This scope encompasses multiple scales from individuals to households Non-linear responses to events can be of different nature, prompting alternative damage control strategies. A visual representation of how various non-linear responses can emerge in the face of negative incidents is offered in Figure 1 If systems changed according to linear thinking we would encounter a scenario like in the purple dashed line: any outcome is gradual and proportional to events’ magnitude The notion of tipping points is central in our framework and will be inspected in more detail in the next section we will introduce principles to guide organizations and policies through enacting interventions that promote “blue line” scenarios rather than “yellow or red line” ones we can understand system dynamics via attractors and tipping points in a space of possibilities the system can be envisioned as a ball moving within a rugged terrain of valleys and hills The valleys in the landscape represent attractors – states toward which the system naturally gravitates like a ball rolling downhill to settle at the bottom of a valley as it would require a significant perturbation to push the ball out of a deep valley hills in the landscape represent repeller states – unstable regions that the system tends to avoid like a ball rolling away from the top of a hill movement away from an attractor and across a tipping point exemplifies non-linear changes because such a transition can lead to abrupt and substantial impacts on the system’s state and well-being with either positive or negative consequences A system can be pushed out of its current attractor state and across a tipping point in two main ways: losing its “pull,” even a small perturbation can be enough to push the ball over the hill If the system is hit by an extremely large perturbation – like a black swan event – the ball can be pushed out of even a deep valley and into a new state This point of view augments the representation of the scenarios from Figure 1 by adding the notion of “possibilities.” A visual example is shown in Figure 2: each individual tile stands for a potential state the system could be in, while arrows depict evolution (movements). In Figure 2A the system can be perturbed away from the initial state but it is expected to quickly return to it This highlights the limitations of relying solely on historical data when evaluating phenomena with potential for extreme impact symbolize states that remain undefined – and at least in part unknowable – until the system progresses nearer to them Those possibles may prove to be tipping points for future scenarios The space of possibilities is often not static but can be in constant flux; attractors can change position and desirable states become undesirable In such dynamic and non-stationary environments extended-term foresight can fail consistently especially if they embrace time horizons that are much longer than the period of change of the state landscape This is because the circumstances upon which plans were conceived might be rendered obsolete by the time of their execution A notable historical instance of this dynamic is evident in the intricate 5-year planning frameworks of the Soviet Union in the next section we finally present four candidate decision-making principles to navigate through key scenarios characterized by varying uncertainty We further explore the future implications and applications of the principles derived from the discussion above and show how to employ them in daily practice based on the attractor landscape framework so that systems such as organizations might expand their focus to better include scenarios where merely optimizing past practices is not a reasonable strategy In this first scenario, the situation at hand is stabilized in an attractor which consists of a limited number of possible states, so there is a decent degree of predictability and repeatability. This corresponds to a picture like in Figure 2A past data can be used to optimize exploitation of current opportunities Changes in the landscape should be carefully monitored but too much focus on exploration (on the expense of exploitation) would cause ineffective use of the current resources Decision principles pertaining to the ordered domain of the Cynefin framework can be particularly useful prescribing categorization or analysis of the situation followed by existing tried-and-true practices and conventional goal-setting Managing an annual influenza epidemic is a good example: worse seasons can be handled with approximately the same tools as milder ones an over-reliance on data from recent epidemics might falter when facing a novel or significantly mutated pathogen During the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak many countries expected a pandemic similar to a harsh seasonal influenza optimizing current practice must be accompanied with monitoring to rigorously answer the question “are we still operating within the same attractor or have important contextual factors changed?” A system facing the possibility of total destruction (exemplified in Figure 2C) must prioritize mitigating this risk. This task can be challenging due to the human inclination to attend to tangible and salient issues at the expense of more abstract ones, encapsulated by Kahneman’s (2011 85) “What You See Is All There Is (WYSIATI)” principle Political advocacy for preventative measures against unprecedented disasters can hence be difficult and proactive actions – preventing harm that has not happened – are less tangible than reactive solutions to remove harm that is already visible to the public The intention is to obliquely facilitate implementing policies to address catastrophic risks decision makers could also utilize the power of narrative engaging the public to craft compelling stories that vividly depict potential future crises In situations like Figure 2D with large uncertainties on the landscape morphology all kinds of unforeseen events might take place when constraints on the system’s behavior are not in effect The decision maker addresses extreme uncertainty by focusing on stabilization creating attractors to prevent erosion or disintegration of the system To address the usefulness of the aforementioned principles in their associated contexts, several steps should be taken. First of all, researchers need to link the attractor landscapes built via sense-making exercises to those enacted by mathematical rigor and scientific modeling. Relatedly, numerical assessments of stability could be tested; some proposals for methodology are already available (Heino et al., 2022) and can be built upon Complementing experiential sense-making with formal models allows the rigorous testing and comparison of scenarios (Hepburn and Andersen, 2021) One approach to mathematically representing the attractor landscape could involve employing dynamic system models capturing the shifts and evolutions in real-time challenges might arise in parameterizing these models given the vast array of potential variables Novel interdisciplinary efforts between modelers and social science scholars could create fruitful synergies Usability of the proposed framework should be assessed in collaboration with decision makers, after they have been trained to understand the basic notions. For instance, attractor landscapes were introduced in a novel training program recently piloted for public servants, with the aim to produce the necessary capacity of policy makers to understand and act in complex social systems (Hankonen et al., 2023) Initial feasibility testing among Finnish public servants demonstrated the program’s potential for broad applicability across different policy sectors Future research should explore ways to encourage and facilitate the application of these theory-based principles in real-world contexts The flow-in-landscape framework introduced and discussed in this manuscript provides a conceptual basis to better navigate and categorize current and likely future states as well as to identify key points of fragility and intervention it clarifies that in an evolving global landscape even evidence-based policy frameworks relying on historical data might struggle to anticipate and address unforeseen challenges and should therefore be augmented the manuscript provides a macroscopic description of decision-making principles according to realistic classes of plausible scenarios augmenting previous linear viewpoints to incorporate complex nuances In public policy, leveraging these principles can enhance both safety and adaptability. For local officials, this may mean deeper community engagement; at broader scales, it suggests a revision of protocols for greater agility against complex issues. One significant challenge is cognitive inertia among decision-makers, which can be potentially addressed through diversifying viewpoints and interactions, ongoing education, as well as promoting adaptability (Heino et al., 2023) As we navigate risks and opportunities amidst an era of unparalleled complexity insights from complex systems and psychological sciences can cover blindspots in conventional decision making This has the potential to move us from a false sense of safety to develop risk identification and mitigation plans for sustainable and persistent safety increasing resilience and prompt interventions in the face of uncertainty The original contributions presented in the study are included in the article/supplementary material further inquiries can be directed to the corresponding author KS: Writing – review & editing AS: Writing – review & editing The author(s) declare that financial support was received for the research This work was supported by the Academy of Finland’s programme for crisis preparedness and security of supply MH has received funding from advisory work in applying complex systems science and behavioural science in sub-national and national contexts The remaining authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest The handling editor AP declared a shared affiliation with the author MH at the time of review All claims expressed in this article are solely those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of their affiliated organizations Any product that may be evaluated in this article or claim that may be made by its manufacturer is not guaranteed or endorsed by the publisher 1. ^‘Black Swan’ events, as introduced by Taleb (2007) are unpredicted yet impactful occurrences that can overturn conventional wisdom 2. ^See also the “Swiss cheese model” of risk management (Shabani et al., 2023) Google Scholar Successful elimination of Covid-19 transmission in New Zealand Google Scholar Google Scholar Google Scholar Google Scholar Experimental evidence for tipping points in social convention Crossref Full Text | Google Scholar Facilitating collective psychosocial resilience in the public in emergencies: twelve recommendations based on the social identity approach Crossref Full Text | Google Scholar Google Scholar Crossref Full Text | Google Scholar Crossref Full Text | Google Scholar Attractor landscapes: a unifying conceptual model for understanding behaviour change across scales of observation Google Scholar What were the historical reasons for the resistance to recognizing airborne transmission during the COVID-19 pandemic Google Scholar Google Scholar Google Scholar Google Scholar The WHO estimates of excess mortality associated with the COVID-19 pandemic PubMed Abstract | Crossref Full Text | Google Scholar Oliu-Barton Green zoning: an effective policy tool to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic Why resilience is unappealing to social science: theoretical and empirical investigations of the scientific use of resilience Google Scholar Mass testing to end the COVID-19 public health threat Google Scholar Crossref Full Text | Google Scholar Crossref Full Text | Google Scholar Google Scholar Crossref Full Text | Google Scholar Crossref Full Text | Google Scholar Google Scholar A Leader’s framework for decision making PubMed Abstract | Google Scholar Google Scholar Crossref Full Text | Google Scholar Google Scholar Google Scholar Crossref Full Text | Google Scholar Google Scholar Working with convex responses: antifragility from finance to oncology PubMed Abstract | Crossref Full Text | Google Scholar Google Scholar Crossref Full Text | Google Scholar Siegenfeld A and Hankonen N (2024) From a false sense of safety to resilience under uncertainty Received: 29 November 2023; Accepted: 24 April 2024; Published: 27 May 2024 Copyright © 2024 Heino, Proverbio, Saurio, Siegenfeld and Hankonen.

But the Werners would help him especially during this difficult time for him: "Helmut and Nicole are doing everything for me." That's why Helmut Werner was also remembered in his wife's will. "It was Hannelore's will and it is mine that Helmut inherits the house after my death and everything we have worked on together in recent years," says Heino He and his wife had agreed this before her death Heino's biological son Uwe Kramm (63) will come away empty-handed He will not inherit anything from Hannelore "because she was not his biological mother" Uwe comes from the singer's first marriage to Henriette Heppner his son will only inherit the compulsory portion "I'm not prepared to give anything to someone who has never done anything for me or Hannelore," said the musician The singer is also of the opinion that his son would not be able to keep the villa anyway "I'm not prepared to give Uwe the most beautiful place in Kitzbühel," says Heino "We both decided that Helmut would get our inheritance." This means that Heino's grandsons manager Helmut Werner told Bild: "I would be happier if our Hannelore was still with us has staged the biggest comeback in the history of the country's pop music Heino instantly recognisable by his blond hair and trademark sunglasses worn to hide bulging eyes caused by a thyroid condition is best known as the baritone singer of Schlager – schmaltzy German folk songs that propelled him to fame in the 1960s and 70s breaking sales records and securing his place in German cultural history with a new album Backed by an intensive PR campaign and a new wardrobe of skinny jeans and studded leather jacket, Mit freundlichen Grüßen (All the Very Best) has taken him into new realms hip-hop and hard-rock hits – to the disgust of many of the bands who originally performed them Since its release this month it has been legally downloaded more than any other German album and has sold tens of thousands of copies The musician has been touring Germany in a Heinomobile a Mercedes S-class limousine embellished with his blond-haired skull logo He has been invited to perform at Wacken Open Air insists he will continue singing the ever-popular Schlager his PR machine and his wife Hannelore – a former Miss Austria – to promote the image of a loveable rogue who sings sentimental hits about mountains and maidens Asked about his health in a recent interview Heino – real name Heinz Georg Kramm – responded that he was "still as hard as steel as tough as leather and as nimble as a greyhound" The words are unmistakably taken from a speech given by Adolf Hitler to 50,000 members of the Hitler youth movement in 1935 which all Germans learn about in history lessons said he made the remark without knowing of its "historical context" But Heino observers say it is just the latest expression of what they allege are his far-right sympathies In the 1970s he insisted on singing all three verses of the German national anthem in a version recorded for school pupils nationalistic verse has long been considered taboo Then in 1989 he stormed the charts with Schwarzbraun ist die Haselnuss (black-brown is the hazelnut) a folk song made popular in the 20th century by the Hitler youth and Wehrmacht soldiers During the days of apartheid he performed for white farmers in South Africa a decision he insists he still does not regret The rolled Teutonic R he typically uses when he sings and his platinum blond hair have helped stoke his popularity among conservatives Several of the bands whose songs Heino has covered on his new album have voiced their objections arguing he is using some of them to glorify racism While they can do little about it so long as he has stayed within the copyright rules whose No 1 song Open your Eyes is on the album said: "We are going to take a closer look at Heino's version of our song to ensure he's stayed within the framework of the rules He has a few songs in his repertoire which seem to glamorise racist ideas." said: "Unfortunately as long as this idiot doesn't blatantly change the song But Heino has suggested the bands are just jealous of his success while ignoring the fact they will gain from the royalties "They're making a pretty penny from my album they should just keep their mouths shut," he told the Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper "And if they feel sullied by the money there are plenty of hospitals children's homes … they could donate it to." He said many Germans – such as music critic Rainer Moritz who referred to him as the "vomiting agent of several generations" – had been too snobbish to recognise his success as a cultural figurehead but that the proof of his talent was in his sales figures as well as the fact he has a recognisability factor of 99% "Why should an old oak be bothered by the pig that claws it?" he asked pointing out – as he likes to – that in 1980 his album Lieder der Berge (Songs of the Mountains) sold 1.2m copies in Germany while John Lennon who was assassinated in December that year "For years I've been the butt of jokes If anyone from the music scene laughs at me now "The day before yesterday four young people passed me on the autobahn These are things that make a 74-year-old happy they could be saying: 'what's that old geezer up to?'" he said A local man vying to be the Sault's next candidate for the Peoples' Party of Canada says he isn't concerned about the party's recent poor showing in two federal by-elections Arnold Heino is one of two people currently seeking the space left behind after 2021 PPC candidate Kasper Makowski decided not to run again in the next federal election A vote of no confidence is being debated in the House of Commons tomorrow by Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre with the NDP and Bloc stating they will not support it Heino said he would like to see the Liberals and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau given their walking papers but notes it will be difficult while some other parties continue to support the minority government "I think a lot of Canadians are fed up with politics," he said. "They promise one thing but they never do it." confirmed Heino is one of two prospective candidates in the Sault who represented the PPC for the riding of Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing in the last election "The party will likely hold a nomination race in the riding as both have confirmed that they want to become a candidate in Sault Ste Heino has co-organized a number of protests or rallies targeted at Sault Pride, the local school boards and members of city hall. That includes last Friday's 'Hands Off Our Kids' rally part of a Canada-wide protest for what the group describes as parental rights In the 2021 federal election in the Sault Ste fewer than 300 votes separated winning Liberal candidate Terry Sheehan from his closest competitor Sonny Spina of the Conservative Party of Canada with five per cent of the vote, PPC candidate Makowski was the accidental kingmaker for Sheehan in 2021 with the possibility at least some of the 1,993 votes cast in his name coming at the expense of Spina "Some people are going to say we split the vote but the way Canada votes in one election is red and the next election is blue Canada votes to get the other party out and that's what is happening right now with everyone fed up with Trudeau that they don't look at what they are voting for the PCs are going to be the majority government depending on if the NDP and liberals and the Bloc ran together — which I can't see that happening." Recent results from two federal byelections show poor performances by the respective PPC candidates in those ridings In LaSalle—Émard—Verdun the PPC candidate brought in 0.5 per cent of the vote while the candidate in Manitoba's Elmwood—Transcona riding fared slightly better at 1.3 per cent With a general election expected within the next year Heino said he believes his party should have not run a candidate at all in those ridings and concentrated instead on the contest to come Heino said his ideal outcome is for the Conservatives to pick up seats in the east with the PPC winning in Alberta and other western provinces you would have a true conservative government Then you would have two parties that can work together but by the same token a party like ours will make sure to pull in [Poilievre] to do what he promised to do because then we could literally wipe the Liberals and NDP off the map." The PPC ran over 300 candidates in the 2021 federal election including leader and party founder Maxime Bernier.  Heino mourns the loss of his wife Hannelore who died of cardiac arrest at the age of 81 The singer kept her death to himself for a week The reason: he wanted to say goodbye in silence She was his advisor, manager and better half: singer and actress Hannelore Kramm was Heino's wife for more than four decades She died a week ago, on November 8, at the age of 81 in Kitzbühel, Austria - at home in her own bed, as Heino's manager Helmut Werner told the German Press Agency on Wednesday. Previously, "Bild " had reported "Heino is devastated and in deep mourning," Werner continued Hannelore Kramm was buried at the cemetery in Kitzbühel yesterday Her black coffin with golden fittings was completely covered with red roses from Heino only a few friends are said to have been present at the funeral to support the singer on his most difficult journey Heino's son Uwe was among those who came to say goodbye to his stepmother handmade wooden cross with the name "Hannelore" was placed on the grave Heino's manager Helmut Werner told "Bild": "The unbelievable number of condolences give Heino comfort and touch him deeply We are planning a big service for Hannelore next year the couple recently moved the center of their lives from Bad Münstereifel to Kitzbühel in Austria "Hannelore feels better in Austria," said Heino Heino and Hannelore married in 1979 and were considered the dream couple of German folk music for many years I'd still be walking around in a turtleneck" Hannelore Kramm became the most important person for Heino not only privately but also professionally The turtlenecks that were so typical of him at the time disappeared - she gave him a new outfit gave him more confidence in dealing with the media and provided new impetus for his career Was she also the driving force behind Heino's new image as a rocker "She was definitely an enrichment," Heino's management remained vague "I believe that Hannelore played a decisive role," said someone who initially accompanied Heino alone and later Heino and Hannelore very closely for decades "Nobody could get past Hannelore on important issues." However, the fact that folk musician Heino covered Mickie Krause's Ballermann hit "10 nackte Friseusen" is said not to have pleased her at all "I asked him if he had lost his mind," she was quoted as saying "How does he still come up with ideas like that at his age?" she was already familiar with show business when she married Heino The fashion designer for dirndl and folklore fashion had already produced records as a singer and appeared in various film roles But it was above all her two husbands who shaped her public image Her marriage to the Austrian Prince Alfred von Auersperg in 1968 made her a real princess the near-disaster: On the drive home to Kitzbühel the then 31-year-old was thrown eleven meters into the depths in her car The actress was rescued from her wrecked car with life-threatening injuries Heino revealed that he met Hannelore during the filming of the movie "Blau blüht der Enzian" but at the "Miss Austria" competition in Kitzbühel "where we were both on the jury" The Düsseldorf "youngster" from the working-class district of Oberbilk and the princess: the romance between Heino and Hannelore began in 1977 on the TV show "An Evening in Blue" Heino falls in love with the beauty with the long blonde hair Hannelore and Heino marry in Bad Münstereifel in 1979 They enjoyed their private life there for many years Most recently they lived there in the Kurhaus The couple endure worrying days when Hannelore is taken to hospital in 2004 with heart problems and undergoes an operation She was already expecting to be discharged when the doctors unexpectedly transferred her to the University Hospital in Bonn a week later The seriousness of the situation becomes clear a year later when Heino announces the end of his career: "Hannelore needs me now more than ever," he says Later comes his withdrawal from retirement Hannelore Kramm is the always perfectly styled woman with the long blonde hair in advertising clips - most recently as a rocker bride dressed in black after her husband's image change The fact that they left the tranquil little town of Bad Münstereifel and permanently swapped it for the Alpine view at their second home in Kitzbühel was not due to the flood disaster that affected Bad Münstereifel What follows is a personal letter from one of his customers who was by his side during the last days of his life The most stable and steady person I knew in Portland turned out to be my Street Roots guy For five and a half of those years we didn’t hang out much We didn’t know or care about how each other voted or the names of our first dogs We didn’t talk about TV shows or swap books talking about whatever was going on right then and there — talking about what was in the paper and talking about sports Bruce taught me a lot about sports and sports radio He taught me about Portland etiquette and the way things worked He introduced me to the Street Roots family and invited me in He met my family and friends who went grocery shopping with me He seemed to remember everything I ever told him everyone he met with me and every issue of the paper I ever bought He taught me about just being present and paying attention Sometimes I’d cook him some special homemade food and he didn’t care where my money came from My other friends might wonder about our relationship and say he was “just” my Street Roots vendor Bruce made a big difference in my life and the lives of others When he got sick and needed a little extra help I got to spend a lot more time with him when he was sick That’s when I got to know him a little bit better I still don’t know how he voted or the name of his first dog It’s comforting for me to know you all and to be part of the Street Roots family I wonder how many other vendors make the kind of difference in somebody’s life that Bruce made in mine —Stacey Heath Street Roots reader and supporter “I was so sorry to hear he had lost his battle with cancer and had a challenging life For years I bought his papers and chatted with him about the headlines He turned me into a Street Roots supporter and allowed me to see the value of having a job to do and keeping in touch with people.” —Alida Rol “So sorry to hear about the passing of Bruce I used to look forward to my Saturday shopping I learned more about life in talking to Bruce for 15 minutes a weekend than I ever learned in college “I knew Bruce back when he used to sell the paper outside Nature’s on Division and 30th years and years ago I was writing the occasional column and story for the paper and Bruce would often give me feedback and  encouragement I stopped seeing him when he moved to Northeast but my wife would see him and he’d often tell her to tell me ‘hello.’ It was a simple thing Bruce and thanks for the friendship.” — Pete Lewis your relationships were as important to those that knew you as they were to you.”– Jessica Inman “I also met Bruce when he was selling outside Natures on Division and I so valued that he would remember me and recognize me but especially today for sharing this news and giving us an opportunity to celebrate Bruce’s kindness.” — Eliza Elkins Canty-Jones Quiet and understated but lovely.” — Maura Cooney Bruce was so well-versed in community needs and activities You will be missed.” — Barbara Patten Cooney “I also used to buy my paper from Bruce outside of Natures on Division What a kind man and gentle soul.”— Jane Briesemeister Lewis Street Roots will hold a vigil in Bruce’s memory at 9 a.m at New Seasons on Northeast 33rd Avenue and Killingsworth Street Our new Burnside St Headquarters is almost complete!

The universe also shows traces that tell something about its Maker he sees God's reliability in it because of the natural laws that always follow the same course the universe also testifies to God's freedom and creativity: "Despite these natural laws things also happen there that are difficult to predict Can black holes also teach us something about God This shows that there are fundamental limits to our knowledge astronomers are increasingly trying to push the boundaries of what is knowable does not rule out finding life in the universe in the coming years of single-celled organisms on Mars or water under the surface of a planet's moon "That could very well be the case; here on Earth we are also increasingly encountering life despite extreme conditions." If intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe it would certainly not turn Falcke's faith upside down God in His wisdom apparently wanted it to be that way "Medieval theologians already held the principle that God should not be limited in His omnipotence by determining what He should and should not be allowed to create So intelligent life on another planet would not embarrass me." Not only the cosmos makes Falcke think about God earthly nature also often has this effect on him He recently went into nature with some members of his church in Frechen after which everyone went out individually to meditate on the text in the woods." The setting sun gave the sky a fiery red glow "That reminded me of the call of Moses God spoke from a fire that flared up from a bramble the trees in the forest did not seem to care when a strong wind swept through them "So there was still life in them; otherwise So something of God's reality shone through in that dead forest What seems dead now will blossom again in spring That filled me with joy and praise for the Creator."

with family by her side at the age of 89 years MEDFORD – Oskar Heino doesn’t have to worry about getting his mom a birthday present anytime soon “He’s good for the next five years,” Katie Heino said with a smile brighter than the sun Tuesday afternoon holding a baseball she’ll cherish forever Oskar gave her the greatest gift she’s ever received, obliterating a walk-off three-run home run as Shawnee High School, No. 4 in the South Jersey Mean 15 rankings, downed second-ranked Lenape 7-4 to capture a share of its second consecutive Olympic Conference American Division championship “There’s nothing really like it anywhere pure happiness,” Oskar said of the moment “I’m really excited our team came to play today and we won.” More: South Jersey Baseball Mean 15 Rankings for May 22 refused to let his team keep its head down “He brings so much energy to the team,” junior Nick O’Brien said “Yesterday we had a terrible game against R.V. “The energy he brings carries into everybody,” head coach Brian Anderson added That’s Heino’s approach to life He’s “high strung,” he puts it “He never (is quiet),” O’Brien said but he’s the best teammate I could ask for.” “Sometimes I let myself get too far,” Heino admitted “Even today coach Anderson had to tell me on multiple occasions to calm down talk to our own team (and not the opposition) and be supportive of our own guys.” It showed up again in the huddle in the bottom of the seventh inning Tuesday Lenape had rallied for three runs in the top of the frame to tie it at 4-4 but Heino and the rest of the squad weren’t upset More: South Jersey baseball 3 Stars, Teams of the Week for each conference for May 23 Drew Uccello hit a one-out double off the top of the wall then Lenape intentionally walked O’Brien a Penn commit that finished the day 2-for-3 with a double “I’m thinking I can’t let myself be disrespected like that,” said Heino who had an RBI single in the opening inning as well “I got to come up and at least do something but ended up doing the best thing I could do in that situation.” His teammates mobbed him at home plate and doused him with water bottles One player tried to dump the Gatorade container on him but missed wildly “I knew it was gone off the bat,” Uccello said I was rounding third jumping all over the place Heino was just happy he could celebrate with his teammates “It’s definitely hard to ground yourself in situations like these,” he said “but I’m just looking forward to the next game I’m definitely happy how our team came to play today.” Bowen continues stellar seasonEthan Bowen didn’t have his best stuff Tuesday but that just shows how good he’s been all year The Rutgers recruit had a no-decision as he gave up a run on 3 hits and 3 walks with 5 strikeouts

but he still had about 20 pitches and he’s like coach I feel like I’m seeing less and less of the kids these days who want to go that extra inning “I just can’t be more proud of our guys Back to back division champs – we won it last year too – it’s tough to do Coach Anderson has done a great job with us but I probably give the most credit to Ethan Bowen and Drew Uccello leading us every day and that goes back to last year’s senior captains Nick Tamburro and Alec Baltz They showed us what a true team does in order to win baseball games and we showed that today It was the whole team that won today.” – Shawnee’s Nick O’Brien on winning back-to-back Olympic American titles Lenape was on its heels much of the afternoon after Shawnee took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first the team never quit and it had chance at victory because of it.  Lenape was down to its last strike on two different occasions but Andrew Shank’s two-out single loaded the bases Max D’Alessandro was hit by a pitch to close the gap to 4-2 and Grant Hunter hit a two-run single up the middle to even the score More: H.S. softball: Highlighting South Jersey's best from first week of playoffs While the team wasn’t

today with too many mistakes missing some things that just execution wise need to be better but I’m proud of how we battled and how we came back.” Shawnee (20-5) visits Cherokee on Thursday A Shawnee

years Heino was born and raised in the Flathead Valley and graduated from Flathead Valley High School in 1996 “As a kid I think we all have the dreams of being a policeman or fireman as we started off younger but my family was great,” Sheriff Heino said Sheriff Heino has one main goal and that’s to be as transparent as possible and to promote Sheriff Heino has created a new role for the Sheriff’s Office – Public Information Officer says that social media is a huge help in keeping the public informed “What’s great with that is that we can get information out so much quicker if we’re looking for a lost child or if we have a suspect that we’re looking for and everybody wants to be the eyes and ears,” Bruyer said “So when that stuff pops up we get great responses.” With close to 15,000 followers and likes on Facebook Bruyer tell us his goal for this year is to double the Flathead County Sheriff Office’s Facebook page following You can keep up to date on the Flathead County’s social media pages by checking out their Twitter feed and their Facebook page we hear from photographer John Heino about his work and how he he balances his ever-growing creative wish list as well as evolving travel and equipment wish lists JH: I began as an old-school film photographer in the early 80’s as an art student at UMD I made the transition from darkroom to computer I was a bit skeptical about digital in the beginning but it’s incredible how the technology has evolved over the last ten years The two biggest challenges for me are time and money Even though I retired from the corporate scene several years ago I play in four bands and occasionally take on short-term management projects I’ve been adding items to my photo bucket list faster than I’m checking them off and that list is much larger than my wallet I will check off one big item in March when I shoot for a week in Cuba with Layne Kennedy Nothing excites me like exploring—going somewhere for the first time I had some vivid memories from my childhood wandering the forest near my home and watching the fluffy white cloud forms drifting across the blue sky I’ve tried to see the world again the way I saw it as a child with that same excitement and focused observation It’s changed my photography—for the better The process of photography for me is both spiritual and therapeutic I’m not a confident follower of any specific religion although I feel aligned with Zen Buddhism When I’m out on the shore of Lake Superior at dawn The profound beauty and energy surround me and course through me Experiencing creative nirvana is probably reward enough I’d be a photographer even if nobody wanted to see my work And that’s rewarding in an entirely different way I’m happy to capture a fleeting moment and make it available to people who otherwise would not have experienced it I have dozens of images at the University of Minnesota Clinics and Surgery Center in Minneapolis many in waiting rooms for patients facing tough medical procedures The idea there was to install calming images that might—for a moment—take the patient’s mind off unpleasant aspects of treatment I’ve been moved by e-mail and text messages from friends in those rooms if there’s a more rewarding context for my art To some extent ever evolving world of digital photography it’s almost impossible to make money faster than you could spend it if you tried to keep up with state-of-the-art lenses and camera bodies such as the current mirrorless boom if you did have any money “left over,” you could spend it in a heartbeat on a photographic travel adventure The best I can say is that the money I make from photography helps slow the drain on my retirement funds This is how I know that photography is not really about the money for me In addition to the University of Minnesota Clinics and Surgery Center my photographs are featured at the Holiday Inn Memorial Hospital (Cloquet) and the Frame Corner Gallery There is also a small collection currently on display at the Thirsty Pagan in Superior https://core.demo.improove.se/ bos168 You may now click "Submit Event" to have your event posted You need to submit the "Pay with

Marc Hickox's tribute to the German phenomenon Heino With more added reverb than an 80-year-old Frank Sinatra I asked my German colleague Alex Schaffert Hickox — who is actually a brunette Canadian actor — says he plays Heino as the "international sensation that happens halfway through the night."
