Anche le economie domestiche e le piccole imprese potranno scegliere da chi comprare l'elettricità. Questo il cambiamento principale previsto dall'accordo sull'energia elettrica tra la Svizzera e l'Unione Europea presentato la settimana scorsa a Berna. Un accordo legato ai negoziati bilaterali con l'UE e che se accettato entrerà in vigore nel 2030 circa .Un'intesa voluta dai grandi produttori di energia elvetici, così da mantenere aperti i mercati d'esportazione, ma anche per garantire le importazioni. Importazioni di elettricità vitali, perché l'esclusione dai meccanismi europei di regolazione si fa già sentire sulla stabilità della rete Svizzera proprio in un periodo in cui l'aumento dei consumi e l'arrivo di fonti energetiche rinnovabili - dalla produzione irregolare - si sovrappongono allo spegnimento delle centrali nucleari. Per capire le implicazioni per consumatori, distributori e produttori di energia a modem intervengono:Massimo Filippini, professore di economia politica al Politecnico federale di Zurigo e all'USIFabio Laloli, direttore delle Aziende comunali di Ascona e presidente ESIGiovanni Leonardi, presidente di AET

Erik Davis è uno dei lettori più acuti della cultura americana contemporanea. Giornalista, scrittore e storico delle religioni, Davis studia da quarant'anni i fenomeni più bizzarri sorti negli Stati Uniti dal secondo dopoguerra a oggi: dall'uso intensivo di psichedelici negli anni Sessanta alla nascita di nuove forme di spiritualità, dai rapimenti alieni al sorgere di comunità virtuali. La cultura pop, per Davis, è una piattaforma da cui osservare le correnti alternative che invadono il canone dominante – uno spazio dove il pensiero mistico e magico si intreccia a quello tecnico e razionale. La tecnologia, per Davis, è il più importante mezzo di espressione di queste spinte contrastanti ma compresenti. Dagli Stati Uniti di Donald Trump, in cui il discorso politico è sempre più irrazionale, Erik Davis ci guida attraverso il labirinto della contemporaneità. In un mondo in cui internet ci permette di fare praticamente qualsiasi cosa e l'intelligenza artificiale neuronale è ormai un dato di fatto, Davis cerca di rispondere a una domanda: cosa vuol dire essere umani oggi? Ne parliamo con Erik Davis ad Ascona, dove è ospite degli Eventi letterari Monte Verità, quest'anno a tema “Psicogeografie” in occasione del 150° anniversario della nascita di Carl Gustav Jung. L'ha incontrato per Rete Due Laura Piccina.

“Mi chiamo Niele Toroni. Sono nato il 15 marzo del 1937, a Muralto, in riva al Lago Maggiore. In Ticino, la Svizzera italiana a sud delle Alpi, che in primavera si riempie di camelie e mimose in fiore. Ci sono anche palme, banani che non riescono a far maturare le banane, limoni che a volte fanno centotrentanove limoni e finiscono sui giornali”. Anche in queste parole si coglie l'ironia che contraddistingue Niele Toroni, artista ticinese con una carriera internazionale, che viene omaggiato in queste settimane da due musei ticinesi – dove mancava da oltre trent'anni - e con una pubblicazione che include i suoi scritti e un'intervista inedita di Bruno Marcadé, storico e critico d'arte, amico di lunga data del pittore che era partito dal Ticino negli anni Sessanta per Parigi. Da allora Toroni si è affermato come uno degli esponenti delle avanguardie europee del dopoguerra. Diventato celebre per le sue “Impronte di pennello n. 50 a intervalli regolari di 30 centimetri”, un gesto artistico soltanto in apparenza ripetitivo. A Voci dipinte ospiti Mara Folini, direttrice del Museo comunale d'arte moderna di Ascona e Sébastien Peter, direttore dei Servizi culturali della città di Locarno. Bernard Marcadé ci guida attraverso la prima retrospettiva svizzera dedicata a Niele Toroni, allestita al Museo Casa Rusca di Locarno, che riunisce opere realizzate nell'arco di sessant'anni.

Novant'anni fa ad Ascona, in Vicolo Ghiriglione, di fronte al teatro di marionette che più tardi ospiterà la sua prima produzione, nasceva Dimitri Jakob Müller. Il padre Werner Jakob è scultore e architetto e sua madre Maja, una tessitrice e un'artigiana. Quando Dimitri ha cinque anni, il padre eredita una piccola somma e acquista la casa costruita dal pittore e architetto Otto van Rees sul versante nordorientale del Monte Verità. Comincia tutto lì, in quel clima culturale estremamene vivace che in quegli anni ruotava attorno alla collina delle utopie, la collina sulla quale il piccolo Dimitri cresceva grande e sognava di far ridere… Avrebbe compiuto 90 anni quest'anno il nostro Dimitri e per celebrare i cinquant'anni dell'Accademia Teatro Dimitri, lo ricordiamo con questo documento sonoro, riascoltando le sue storie e ripercorrendo riflessioni e ricordi che sono custoditi nei nostri archivi. Perdonateci se, ascoltando, avrete la sensazione che abbiamo tralasciato qualche aspetto importante, ma la sua personalità era così sfaccettata, poliedrica e complessa che raccontarla in pochi minuti non è così semplice.

Walter Ascona, excongresista, conversa con Glatzer Tuesta en No Hay Derecho de Ideeleradio. No Hay Derecho en vivo de lunes a viernes, desde las 7 a. m., por el YouTube y Facebook de Ideeleradio.

In der aktuellen Folge spricht Nico mit Loris Moser, dem Gründer des SunIce Festivals und NextGen Properties. Loris erzählt, wie er durch eine improvisierte Geburtstagsfeier die Idee für ein Festival entwickelte, das mittlerweile an zwei Standorten in der Schweiz mit über 40'000 Gästen stattfindet: St. Moritz und Ascona. Trotz grosser Herausforderungen wie der Pandemie und finanziellen Hürden, konnte Loris das Festival durch Hartnäckigkeit und innovative Strategien aufbauen. Er teilt Einblicke in die Logistik und Finanzierung eines Festivals und wie er Sponsoren und Gemeinden überzeugen konnte.

Roberto Cazzola"Luce"Una corrispondenzaEdizioni Seb27www.seb27.itNelle sue lettere Nino scrive di tutto a Luce, le racconta di come Kafka consola una bambina che ha perso la bambola nel parco o di un libro al cui protagonista è consentito scrivere solo lettere non d'amore, lei risponde rievocando l'infanzia felice con la nonna in Romania, gli parla del teatro in cui impersona Pentesilea o della sua mostra fotografica sul volto assente, gli chiede appoggio nel suo sradicamento. Centrale nel carteggio è il rifiuto opposto al mondo da Luce adolescente, uno sciopero della fame seguito da una distruttiva foga bulimica. Che parlino dell'arto fantasma, di psicologi felloni o di un istituto per disabili i cui ospiti siedono davanti a un televisore muto, che rievochino la deportazione della famiglia Susman a Theresienstadt o raccontino di una bambina palestinese, queste lettere sono intrise di dolcezza. Attraverso la parola un sentimento disincarnato lega i due corrispondenti. Romanzo del Novecento e di due vite, Luce ci lascia con un dubbio: nella ricerca di una corrispondenza con il proprio lato femminile, Nino sta forse scrivendo a se stesso?Roberto Cazzola.

We moeten het niet altijd ver gaan zoeken… Via “the voice of rally” Jean-Paul Klinkers kwamen we eerder per toeval te weten dat Lambert Peeters in dezelfde stad woont als host Eddy. Vier kilometer verder en zeven minuten later hadden we een uitvoerige babbel met de man die fysiek nog steeds getekend is door de rallysport. Zijn zware crash naast John Bosch in de Audi Quattro in de Bianchi Rally 1985 zorgde voor drie weken coma en een revalidatie die jaren duurde. In het Waalse ziekenhuis dacht men dat Lambert de volgende morgen niet zou halen maar hij werd vlak na de opname van deze podcast 75 jaar.Voor de periode met John Bosch was Lambert onderweg met tal van Belgische toppers. De Limburger las nota's in het Nederlands, Frans en Engels bij onder andere Patrick Snyers, Guy Colsoul, Marc Duez, Jean-Pierre Vandewauwer, Simon Everett en de betreurde Jean-Louis Dumont. Enkele van die piloten en/of van die generatie hadden Neuville als eerste Belgische wereldkampioen kunnen voorgaan, aldus Lambert. Zijn allereerste oefenrit reed Peeters met zijn vriend Enzo Baldi. Hij had meteen de smaak te pakken. Andere Limburgse piloten zoals Martin Smeets en Jean Filippini volgden eind jaren ‘70. Voor het talent Jos Bienens kocht Lambert een Ascona die op mysterieuze wijze plotseling verdween.Qua auto's beleefde hij de periode met de oude groep B's zoals de Porsche 911, de Ascona 400 en de imposante Audi Quattro. Met die laatste navigeerde hij John Bosch bij zijn debuut in de Tulpenrally 1985 meteen naar een eerste algemene overwinning. Wat een eerste leerjaar in de rally moest worden, gevolgd door een mooi internationaal programma, eindigde abrupt door een zware crash. Die gebeurde in een wedstrijd die op eigen verzoek aan het programma werd toegevoegd om te zien of hij klaar was voor het buitenlands programma met … een onderbeen in het gips, ten gevolge van een ongeval in de verkenningen tijdens de Rally van Haspengouw. De volgende crash kostte hem een groot deel van zijn rechterhand maar de passie voor de rallysport verloor hij nooit… Meer nog - op 75-jarige leeftijd - zou hij graag nog eens in de co-stoel kruipen. Social mediaFacebook - Op De RallykoffieInstagram - Op De Rallykoffie

Annemieke Bosman praat met Beatrice von Bormann, directeur van Museum De Fundatie in Zwolle, over de tentoonstelling Marianne von Werefkin - Pionier van het expressionisme. Marianne von Werefkin werd op twintigjarige leeftijd al de Russische Rembrandt genoemd. Ze speelde aan het begin van de 20ste eeuw een cruciale rol in de ontwikkeling van het expressionisme in Duitsland. En ze maakte deel uit van het kunstenaarsnetwerk Der Blaue Reiter. Toch is Marianne von Werefkin (1860-1938) veel minder bekend dan kunstenaars Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc en haar langjarige partner Alexej von Jawlensky. Vanaf de herfst is voor het eerst in Nederland het kleurrijke werk van Marianne von Werefkin in een overzichtstentoonstelling te zien, samen met een aantal werken van haar tijdgenoten. Museum de Fundatie organiseert de tentoonstelling Marianne von Werefkin - Pionier van het expressionisme in samenwerking met het Museo Comunale d'Arte Moderna in Ascona. De tentoonstelling is in Zwolle te zien tot en met 16 maart 2025.

Diese Woche wird es nicht nur im Podcast etwas länger, sondern auch bei den Backyard Team World Championships! Aber was steckt eigentlich hinter diesem Format? Alex, Arnes Athlet, hat beeindruckende 38 Runden absolviert und teilt seine Erfahrungen vom Rennen. Während viele Nationen schon längst ausgestiegen sind, laufen die Belgier weiter – endlos im Kreis! Wird der Weltrekord von 108 Runden erneut gebrochen und wäre das Format was für die beiden Trainer?  Auf der anderen Seite ging es bei der Golden Trail World Series blitzschnell zur Sache! Die Frauen und Männer der Salomon-Serie haben wieder einmal überzeugt und bei Lars und Arne bleibenden Eindruck hinterlassen! Die Trails um Ascona brannten sprichwörtlich – vielleicht lodern sie immer noch! Jetzt heißt es aber: Training anziehen! Wer sich nicht gerade vom World Finale der GTWS erholt oder noch in Belgien bei einem Backyard-Rennen unterwegs ist, der kann jetzt Cross-, Trail-, Park- oder Bergintervalle in den Trainingsplan packen. Die Zuhörer haben noch etwas Vorsprung, bevor die beiden Podcaster von Mallorca zurückkommen… Wie läuft es eigendlich bei ihnen in der letzten Vorbereitungsphase?

Wahrscheinlich sind es die letzten warmen Sommertage, die Conny und Dennis noch einmal in Urlaubsstimmung versetzen. Conny ist mega erholt und berichtet über Urlaub mit ihrem doch schon hoch betagten Auto, mit dem sie die Strecke München – Ascona zurücklegt - ein Lotteriespiel, das sie allerdings gewinnt, denn der Wagen gibt erst den Geist auf, als er am Ziel von Hand in die Parklücke geschoben werden muss. Dennis ist dagegen in großer Vorfreude auf seinen Jungs-Trip, der ihn Mitte September nach Kroatien zum Segeln führt. Als Gast haben sie die Beiden einen Shootingstar der deutschen Köchinnen eingeladen: VIKI FUCHS! Sie berichtet in dieser Folge, was an einem Romantik Hotel, das sie in der siebten Generation im Schwarzwald führt, eigentlich am romantischten ist, warum sie ursprünglich ihre Ausbildung bei Conny in Hamburg machen wollte, das aber nichts geworden ist und wieso sie diese Tatsache bis heute schade findet. Lasst noch einmal den Sommer in Eure Ohren und stremt Folge 93!

We are thrilled to have Dr. Shushan with us again this year. His body of work in the field of near-death studies is unrivaled  on near-death experience is unrivaled.  He is a historian of religions, an award-winning author, and the leading authority on near-death experiences and the afterlife across cultures and throughout history. His books include The Next World: Extraordinary Experiences of the Afterlife, Near-Death Experiences in Indigenous Religions, and Near-Death Experience in Ancient Civilizations (coming soon from Inner Traditions). His forthcoming titles include The Historical Anthology of Near-Death Experiences, and Mind Dust and White Crows: The Psychical Research of William James (both as editor). Dr. Shushan is a Visiting Research Fellow at University of Winchester's Centre for Death, Religion and Culture; Adjunct Professor of Thantaology at Marian University; and Research Fellow of the Parapsychology Foundation. He was formerly Perrott-Warrick Researcher at University of Oxford's Ian Ramsey Centre for Science and Religion;  Scholar-in Residence at the Centro Incontri Umani (The Cross Cultural Centre), Ascona, Switzerland; and Honorary Research Fellow at the Religious Experience Research Centre, University of Wales Trinity Saint David. He has lectured at universities in the UK, Ireland, and Switzerland and has given numerous talks on his research in nine countries, and has appeared on the History Channel.Here's what leading scholars are saying about his work: “Gregory Shushan has produced the most important scholarly work on near-death experiences in the last thirty years. He describes the process by which, despite regular attempts to marginalize its power, the NDE has been perhaps the most important shaper of religious creativity in human history. This is a journey and an argument as fascinating and as engrossing as the social history of mankind itself.” -- Allan Kellehear, Clinical Professor, University of Vermont.“Near-Death Experience in Indigenous Religions is a tour de force.  By comparing recorded cases from North America, Africa, and Oceania, Shushan presents a compelling argument for the centrality of near-death experiences to the development of religious ideas across time and culture. Any future discussions of NDEs and the origins of religion will need to take Shushan's major contribution into account.”  -- Fiona Bowie, Research Affiliate, School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, Oxford University; and founder of Afterlife Research Center “Gregory Shushan's new book provides a uniquely insightful and provocative analysis of near-death experiences that documents their formative influence on worldwide beliefs about an afterlife. His ethnological perspective results in a more comprehensive understanding of NDEs than a purely biological or psychological model can provide, and suggests that afterlife beliefs are rooted not in culture but in the universal human experience of NDEs. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand NDEs and their role in society.” -- Bruce Greyson, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia.READ MORE: https://www.gregoryshushan.com/Dr. Shushan will be presenting at our 2024 Conference on Death, Grief and Belief, online Saturday August 24, 2024.  DETAILS HERE   

Ein Mann, der selten Zug fährt, erkundigt sich telefonisch beim Contact Center nach einer Zugverbindung von Pratteln BL nach Ascona. Er möchte auch den Preis des Billetts wissen. Der Kundenberater erwähnt nur den Normalpreis. Dass es auch die Möglichkeit von Sparbilletten gibt, sagt er nicht. Preisüberwacher Stefan Meierhans findet: «Aus meiner Sicht wäre es wünschenswert, dass auch telefonisch informiert würde, dass Sparbillette auf der gewünschten Strecke online angeboten werden.» Weitere Themen: - «Wir empfehlen dringend einen Helm auf E-Scootern»

Roberto Cazzola"Un quarto di pera di Giulio Einaudi"E altre memorie editorialiSeb27 Edizioniwww.seb27.itMuovendo da un affettuoso e divertito racconto degli anni trascorsi accanto a Giulio Einaudi, e da una lunga esperienza presso Adelphi, l'autore riflette sugli obiettivi di un'editoria e una letteratura che sappiano conservare la memoria del passato e anticipare i tempi, che siano capaci di cogliere quanto ribolle nel sottosuolo della società e della psiche, e aprano così nuovi orizzonti. Saper leggere il mondo attraverso “libri necessari”, come quelli consigliati alle migliori case editrici da Roberto Bazlen (cui è dedicato un capitolo del libro), ci aiuta ad affinare la nostra sensibilità verso il nuovo che si annuncia e che non deve coglierci impreparati. Nelle loro opere rabdomantiche e anticipatrici, scrittori presaghi come Kafka, Benjamin o Dürrenmatt avevano già visto tutto. Ma chi seppe ascoltarli? Una letteratura e un'editoria consapevoli del loro valore civile ed etico assolvono a un compito conoscitivo, giacché «il romanzo che non scopre una porzione di esistenza fino ad allora ignota è immorale. La conoscenza è la sola morale del romanzo», come ci ricorda Milan Kundera. Roberto Cazzola è nato a Torino nel 1953, già responsabile della germanistica per Einaudi e per Adelphi, ha insegnato all'Università di Vienna. Ha pubblicato (con Gian Enrico Rusconi) Il «caso Austria» da Einaudi, il volume di racconti La fedeltà da Marcos y Marcos, e i romanzi Lavati le mani, Elmar e La delazione (Premio Mondello 2010) da Casagrande. Collabora con il seminario Giustizia e Letteratura dell'Università Cattolica di Milano e con l'Associazione per la ricerca in psicologia analitica (Arpa). Ha partecipato al seminario Wertewelten presso l'Università di Tubinga e ai convegni della Fondazione Eranos di Ascona. Ha tradotto opere di Joseph Roth, Friedrich Dürrenmatt e Reiner Stach.  IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

In Ascona wurde vor 70 Jahren die erste Minigolfanlage der Schweiz eröffnet. Erfunden von einem Schweizer. Wie sieht es heutzutage aus? Ist Minigolf noch immer beliebt? In der Sendung «Treffpunkt» gehen wir dieser Frage nach. Wir sprechen mit dem Präsidenten von Swiss Minigolf, einer Minigolf-Bahn-Bauerin und dem Betreiber der Minigolf-Anlage in Ascona, dort, wo der Minigolfsport erfunden wurde.

«Non ci deve essere un'arte staccata dalla vita: cose belle da guardare e cose brutte da usare». Lo scriveva Bruno Munari, artista e designer, inventore delle “macchine inutili” e creatore di oggetti divenuti mitici come la lampada Falkland e il posacenere Cubo. Poliedrico e visionario, Munari è una delle grandi figure del design e della cultura del Ventesimo secolo, le cui opere più iconiche si trovano oggi nelle collezioni permanenti dei più rinomati musei al mondo. Una grande mostra alla Fondazione Magnani Rocca di Traversetolo celebra la poliedricità e la visionarietà del celebre creativo milanese che intendeva ristabilire il contatto perduto tra arte e pubblico. Quale l'attualità di Bruno Munari nella società liquida del XXI secolo? E quale ruolo riveste il design oggi? Per parlarne Voci dipinte ospita il curatore dell'esposizione, il critico d'arte Marco Meneguzzo. Per la mostra della settimana vi proporremo un viaggio nell'Espressionismo in occasione di una importante mostra ad Ascona. Vi proporremo infine la quarta puntata della serie originale Due chili di blu , dedicata all'epopea dell'Impressionismo.

Giorgio Vallortigara"Il pulcino di Kant"Adelphi Edizioniwww.adelphi.itFestival Monte Verità, AsconaGiovedì 22 marzo 2024, ore 17:30Incontro con Giorgio Vallortigara"Col cervello minimo"Se le api sanno distinguere un quadro di Picasso da uno di Monet, possiamo allora conversare con loro alla pari sulla natura della coscienza? Un volo vertiginoso sulla natura della coscienza guidato da Giorgio Vallortigara, un neuroscienziato che attraverso il suo lavoro di ricerca e di scrittura sta ridisegnando il confine tra la biologia e il mondo astratto delle speculazioni metafisiche. L'incontro potrà essere seguito anche in diretta streaming https://eventiletterari.swiss/it/eventiletterari/festival/Benvenuti.htmlLe ricerche di Giorgio Vallortigara, uno degli scienziati italiani più noti a livello internazionale per le sue indagini sui meccanismi neurali della cognizione animale, stanno ridisegnando il confine tra la biologia e il mondo astratto delle speculazioni metafisiche. Ne è un esempio questo saggio affascinante sull'imprinting e l'origine della conoscenza che vede protagonisti i pulcini, oggetto di studi sperimentali condotti per quasi trent'anni in parallelo con quelli sui neonati umani. Tali studi ci mostrano come, prima di qualsiasi esperienza specifica di apprendimento, un pulcino conosca le proprietà meccaniche degli oggetti e sappia che essi non solo occupano un determinato spazio con specifiche proprietà euclidee ma possono essere dotati di certe numerosità, che è in grado di stimare eseguendo in maniera non verbale e non simbolica le quattro operazioni dell'aritmetica. Così, fin dalla schiusa, il pulcino sa ravvisare gli indizi della presenza nel mondo di creature animate, quali un volto o la semovenza, presupposto per la costruzione di un cervello sociale. Alla luce di queste scoperte, la contrapposizione tra eredità e ambiente, natura e cultura appare irrimediabilmente datata. La mente, argomenta Vallortigara, non è una tabula rasa. L'apprendimento dall'esperienza è possibile solo se il sistema nervoso possiede in partenza una struttura atta a favorirlo. Le ricerche sui pulcini corroborano dunque la tesi delle conoscenze innate sintetizzata da Lorenz nell'espressione «l'a priori kantiano è un a posteriori filogenetico». Una sapienza di cui non siamo depositari esclusivi: condividiamo schemi di comportamento, predisposizioni, emozioni, organizzazioni neurali con creature da cui ci dividono trecento milioni di anni di evoluzione. Come i piccoli dell'uomo, anche i «pulcini di Kant» cercano la mamma. Divertono, commuovono e fanno pensare.Giorgio Vallortigara è uno dei neuroscienziati italiani più noti a livello internazionale per le sue indagini sui meccanismi neurali della cognizione animale. I suoi libri editi da Adelphi permettono una riflessione etica e filosofica che accompagna, come uno squisito diario letterario, il suo lavoro di ricerca.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Djarah Kan"Festival Monte Verità, Ascona"23 marzo 2024, ore 21:00"Il filo di lava delle Parche"«La poesia deve essere fatta da tutti, non da uno.»Conte di Lautréamont.Cento anni fa i surrealisti hanno scatenato le forze del sogno contro i diktat della ragione. Nel nostro mondo ultrarazionalizzato si pone la domanda: esistono ancora spazi per sognare? È ancora possibile sognare? Sognare, che cosa?Nella mitologia romana la Parche sono le divinità che presiedono al destino dell'uomo, le cui vite sono sospese ai fili che filano. Da Dante a Margaret Atwood, passando per Goethe e John Milton, nella storia della letteratura queste figure sono state regolarmente reinterpretate con occhi diversi. Al Monte Verità la scrittrice Djarah Kan, la fumettista Fumettibrutti e l'artista e attivista Alesa Herero, propongono un dialogo performativo dove le mani di tre Parche contemporanee intrecciano le voci tra dialogo e performance, lasciando correre le dita sui fili dei destini, fili come vene che portano il sangue, il sogno e la rabbia dal mondo e dalla pelle verso il cuore. La performance prenderà anche la forma di creazione audio originale per Rete Due, nell'ambito del programma Vulcano. Moderazione: Vanni Bianconi.Djarah Kan è una scrittrice, femminista e attivista culturale italo-ghanese cresciuta a Castel Volturno Nel 2019 ha pubblicato Il mio nome nella raccolta di racconti Future – il domani narrato dalle voci di oggi (Effequ) e nel 2020 la sua prima raccolta di racconti brevi Ladri di denti (People)Fumettibrutti, pseudonimo di Josephine Yole Signorelli, è un'artista transgender e fumettista italiana nata a Catania nel 1991. Nel 2018 ha inaugurato la collana Feltrinelli Comics diventando un caso letterario e culturale. Romanzo esplicito (2018), P.

I musei piccoli non sono piccoli musei. I musei d'arte possono essere realtà piccole o periferiche, che hanno a disposizione spazi e risorse limitati rispetto alle grandi istituzioni, ma non per questo rinunciano a realizzare progetti innovativi e di grande spessore scientifico, che travalicano i confini cantonali. A “Voci dipinte” saranno ospiti tre direttrici di museo: Mara Folini per i Musei comunali d'arte di Ascona, Carole Haensler per il Museo civico Villa dei Cedri a Bellinzona e Barbara Paltenghi Malacrida per il Museo d'arte di Mendrisio. Insieme a loro scopriremo la programmazione 2024 e capiremo quali sono le sfide quotidiane per poter garantire la qualità delle esposizioni e gli strumenti messi in atto per attirare il pubblico. Nella seconda parte daremo la parola a un'altra direttrice di museo, il museo d'arte più grande in Svizzera, il Kunsthaus di Zurigo: Ann Demeester ci racconta il nuovo allestimento della prestigiosa e controversa collezione Bührle.

Compara estos coches: Un Opel Manta, un Opel Monza (1982) o un Opel Kadett GSi y compara con algunos de los últimos modelos de Opel como El Astra GSe, el Crossland o el Mokka… ¡si es que hasta el nombre es feo! No digo que los actuales Opel sean malos… tampoco digo lo contrario. Solo digo que Opel ha perdido su personalidad y su ADN. Y os voy a decir por qué. Un tal Adam Opel funda en 1862 la empresa Opel para fabricar primero máquinas de coser y luego bicicletas… y es que no le gustaban los coches. Pero, por fortuna, a sus hijos sí y a la muerte de su padre fundan en 1899 Opel Automotibe GMBH.Nos vamos a ahorrar entrar en detalles de sus primeros pasos en los que llegan a acuerdos con diversas marcas, sobre todo francesas, como Darracq y Renault. Pero la historia de Opel da un giro cuando en 1929 compra la compañía el gigante americano General Motors… compra la marca alemana, pero mantiene su nombre… Además de coches, Opel produjo camiones, como el afamado y robusto Blitz, que eran de tecnología americana y a su vez idénticos a los Bedford británicos. Y pasó algo increíble. Por ejemplo, que Opel llegase a un acuerdo con el mismísimo Führer Adolf Hitler para construir coches, camiones y bombarderos para el ejercito nazi. Y que la Alemania nazi pagase royalties a los norteamericanos para construir vehículos militares. O sea, fabricaron vehículos con la tecnología de tu enemigo, pero les pagaron por hacerlo… ¿es alucinante o no? Pero esto convirtió a las fábricas de Opel en objetivo militar y los bombardeos las dejaron literalmente arrasadas… La actividad no se reanudó hasta 1947, ya acabada la contienda. Para mí la edad de oro de Opel es a partir de ese año de 1947, sobre todo a mediados de los 50 con las heridas de la guerra ya curadas y hasta digamos más o menos finales del Siglo XX. ¿Cuál es el motivo? Pues que Opel combinaba tecnología alemana con la imaginación que en esos años le echaban los americanos al diseño de los coches… y algún motor V8 de “propina”. Una buena combinación que se notaba en la gama que Opel comenzó a desarrollar a partir de los años 60 más o menos. En 1960 la gama Opel alcanzaba modelos de alto nivel, lo que hoy serían Premium como el coupé Kapitan o las grandes berlinas Diplomat, Admiral o el precioso Commodore. Como veis incluso en el nombre, denotan que aspiraban a mucho. En los años 70 aparece un remodelado y precioso Opel Rekord, el D (1972-1977) en mi opinión inspirado en el Commodore. Aparece el Ascona y su derivado deportivo, el Manta, nacido para rivalizar con el Ford Capri, y a fe que lo hizo. ¿Cómo eran esos coches? Por supuesto eran coche robustos, muy robustos, muy bien acabados y de verdadera calidad. Desde luego no podían competir con los “auténticos” Mercedes de esa época, pero si con los BMW y en mi opinión estaban por delante de los VW….En estos años los Opel eran “más coche” que los VW y su gama llegaba más arriba y siempre cuidó mucho el aspecto deportivo. Llega la tracción delantera. En 1979 llega el Kadett D con tracción delantera al que sigue el Kadett E de 1984 con aerodinámica línea. Algunos pensaréis: “Llega la tracción delantera y se va la magia”. Pues no, no es el caso. Los Opel Kadett de la generación E siguen siendo muy distintos a los demás modelos de otras marcas, con mucha personalidad, excelentes acabados y versiones deportivas que se convierten en verdaderos mitos, como el Kadett GSi y más aún el fantástico y potentísimo Kadett GSi 16V. En 1999 llega el declive y eso se nota en la gama que ofrece la marca. Fijaos, entre 1999 y 2012 Opel no deja de perder dinero, llega a perder unos 20.000 millones de euros… Y GM busca soluciones. En 2017 el grupo francés PSA compra por 2.200 millones de euros la marca Opel, incluyendo las fábricas y las marcas Vauxhall, que es con la que se vendían los Opel en el Reino Unido y la marca “GM Financial”. Pero las cosas no acaban aquí. Nace Stellantis, que agrupa al consorcio PSA y al consorcio de Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. La gama actual. En su gama actual Opel trata de “agarrarse” un poco a sus origines sobre todo recurriendo a algunos rasgos estéticos propios de la marca, pero modernizados. Al mismo tiempo que anuncia que a partir de 2028 todos sus coches serán eléctricos… nada nuevo bajo es sol, eso lo van a hacer todos o casi todos. La sede de la marca sigue en Rüsselsheim, pero las decisiones de verdad se toman en la sede de Stellantis, en Ámsterdam. Coche del día. ¿Qué os parece el Opel Commodore de la serie B, aparecido en 1972? La berlina más que el Coupé y si puede ser con el motor 6 cilindros de 2.8 inyección de 155 CV ¿os gusta? Me encantaría tener en mi Garaje Hermético un Opel Monza 3.0 un coche que probé en su momento y me encanto… y que aún se puede encontrar a precios razonables.

Nell'evangelo di Matteo, una parola di Gesù chiede: a chi vuoi affidarti, a Dio o alla ricchezza? Prende spunto da questa sfida, la meditazione biblica tenuta da Elisabetta Tisi, parroca della Chiesa cattolica cristiana del Ticino.Nel dopoguerra nasce l'Amicizia ebraico-cristiana, come risposta alla tragedia dello sterminio degli ebrei in Europa. Ancora oggi questa organizzazione si occupa di promuovere il dialogo e la lettura comune dei testi sacri, per facilitare la conoscenza e il rispetto fra le due religioni. Ne parliamo con Sandro Ventura – che ha tenuto recentemente una conferenza ad Ascona -, impegnato in diversi contesti italiani di dialogo interreligioso, come i colloqui ebraico-cristiani di Camaldoli e l'amicizia ebraico-cristiana di Firenze.

Seit 2018 ist Marcel Hähni als SRF 1-Outdoor Reporter in der Schweiz unterwegs. Er war auf den Schlachtplätzen der alten Eidgenossen, auf den schönsten Brücken der Schweiz oder mit den spektakulärsten Seilbahnen in unseren Alpen unterwegs. Nun schauen wir zurück. Marcel Hähni macht einen Rückblick auf die verschiedenen Outdoor- Staffeln der letzten fünf Jahren. Dabei geht es zurück in den Untergrund der Schweiz mit einem Besuch in der alten Kanalisation der Stadt Bern, wo heute noch die alten Abwasserkanäle zu sehen sind. Zurück in die Wildnis in Stadtnähe im Sihlwald, zu einer Teeplantage im Tessin oder den alten Kastanienbäumen bei Murg am Walensee. Wildnis in Stadtnähe In dieser Sendung wandert Marcel Hähni in der Wildnis zwischen den Städten Zug und Zürich, Aarau oder ausserhalb von Locarno und Ascona in einer Teeplantage.

This episode is with a dedicated community organizer living in the Osa Peninsula, Tricia Stapleton. Tricia shares her embodied wisdom with each question she answers. Relistening to this episode to prepare it for publication was a treat! I had a hard time selecting which portions of this interview to use for the 3-4 highlight reels I produce with every episode because there was SO MUCH amazing content. You're lucky to be listening to this episode right now. One of the many things that Tricia and I have in common is the responsibility we share as regenerative projects of not ignoring the socio-economic context we find ourselves in. Socio-cultural diversity as a vehicle for mutual aid, and the bridging of analog and digital solutions to community building are other topics that I enjoyed exploring with her.   We cover a few programs Tricia has co-founded in the Osa Peninsula. Cooperativa Los Higuerones is a bioregional learning center in the southern zone of the Osa Peninsula, Gulfo Dulce watershed. Its focus is on promoting alternative economic, social, and environmental opportunities.   From “stone soup socials”, to mutual aid work, emergency food boxes, a CSA program, a recycling program, and a locally operated farmers market… this multi-cultural local resilience organization, Higuerones, is doing it all!   Through that cooperative has been born Manos Cambiatas, a community work-party initiative that you'll hear more about. Here's a video that they created highlighting the work of Manos Cambiatas.   Be sure to listen to the end of the interview, where Trisha shares what they're birthing with the ReGenerOsa collective. Regenerosa has developed a tithing program to fund regenerative projects in local communities.   Could you contribute 2.5% of something you're doing to support a community actively caring for 2.5% of the earth's biodiversity? This interview might just motivate you in that direction.   If you got some value from this episode, share it with a friend, say something nice about the podcast on your favorite social media channel, or drop a donation off at ko-fi.com.    I have more wonderful interviews like this waiting for the editors, and every little bit helps cover the production expenses. Thanks for sharing your time with us. Now, go and give that 2.5%...   To follow more of Tricia's contributions toward a regenerative world, check out: Cooperativa Higuerones - http://www.higueronescoop.org/  The Regenerosa Collective- https://regenerosa.wixsite.com/regenerosacollective  FB - https://www.facebook.com/loshiguerones.coope   IG - https://www.instagram.com/higuerones.coop  Email -regenerosacollective@gmail.com    Other mentions from Tricia include: ASCONA - https://www.facebook.com/asconacr/ This episode is brought to you by, well, YOU!  I haven't built up my audience enough to have attracted sponsors, so instead of buying an organic cotton shirt or an online course, maybe you can just buy me a coffee!

Nicoletta Mongini, Chiara Gatta, Sergio Risaliti"Monte Verità Back to Nature"Edizioni Lindauhttps://lindaut.itUn viaggio alla ricerca della libertà, in un luogo dove respirare l'utopia e sognare un mondo diverso. All'alba del '900, la colonia di Monte Verità, stanziata fra i boschi rigogliosi e le dolci colline affacciate sul Lago Maggiore, ha anticipato in modo profetico temi oggi vitali, fra ecologia dell'abitare ed ecologia dell'anima. I suoi fondatori sono stati pionieri assoluti del vivere bio e dell'eco-friendly, della cultura vegetariana e della cura del corpo in senso naturale.Monte Verità. Back to Nature nasce dalla mostra che il Museo Novecento di Firenze e la Fondazione Monte Verità di Ascona hanno dedicato a questa affascinante avventura, ai suoi ideali e ai tanti illustri personaggi che vi furono in diversa misura coinvolti. Dall'anarchico Kropotkin al coreografo Rudolf von Laban, dal dadaista Hugo Ball all'architetto del Bauhaus Walter Gropius, da artisti come Jean Arp e Paul Klee allo scrittore Hermann Hesse, dalla danzatrice Mary Wigman allo psicanalista Carl Gustav Jung, molti intellettuali videro infatti in questo luogo un buen retiro sospeso nel tempo e lontano dal dramma delle guerre e dallo scontro ideologico fra capitalismo e comunismo che stava scuotendo l'Europa. Culla di un'esistenza impostata su ritmi primigeni, Monte Verità divenne così il laboratorio di una contro-cultura alternativa al conformismo borghese e al pensiero dominante.Questo libro raccoglie testi di approfondimento su temi centrali come la pratica vegetariana e i bagni di sole della Lebensreform, la nascita della teosofia e le espressioni libere del genio umano attraverso i linguaggi della danza, della pittura, della poesia, fino allo studio dell'architettura in rapporto con la natura del Monte, dal primo insediamento selvatico alle geometrie rigorose negli anni del Bauhaus.A cavallo fra Otto e Novecento, il Ticino diventò meta di visionari e sognatori che trovarono nella regione terreno fertile per piantare i semi di un'utopia, lontani dal mondo industrializzato, in cerca di un santuario per lo spirito. I fondatori della colonia giunsero dal Nord Europa nel 1900. Uniti da un ideale comune, si insediarono sul Monte Monescia, ribattezzato simbolicamente Monte Verità. Vestiti con gli indumenti «della riforma», lavorarono campi, costruirono capanne, rilassandosi con l'euritmia e i bagni di sole. Adoravano la natura, predicandone la purezza e interpretandola come un'opera d'arte ultima. Nel tempo, il Monte fu frequentato da teosofi, anarchici, psicoanalisti, scrittori e artisti. Acquistato nel 1926 dal banchiere Eduard von der Heydt, il Monte visse una seconda straordinaria stagione culturale, legata anche all'approdo dei maestri del Bauhaus. Oggi è proprietà del Cantone Ticino, gestito dall'omonima fondazione ed è un albergo, un centro culturale e congressuale. Il complesso museale include le capanne aria-luce Casa Selma e Casa dei Russi, Casa Anatta, sede della storica esposizione di Harald Szeemann Monte Verità. Le mammelle della verità, oltre al Padiglione Elisarion con il dipinto panoramico Il Chiaro Mondo dei Beati di Elisàr von Kupffer.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEAscoltare fa Pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.itQuesto show fa parte del network Spreaker Prime.

In this special episode in the ARA podcast series, Prof Christo Doherty of ARA speaks to three internationally acclaimed and award-winning artists about their creative research into the possibilities of the book as an artwork. Veronica Schapers, Robbin Amy Silverberg, and Julie Chen are showing a range of their artists books in a spell-binding new exhibition at the Jack Ginsberg Centre for the Book Arts housed in the Wits Arts Museum. Entitled "Creative Research: The Artists' Books of Schapers, Silverberg, and Chen", the exhibition runs till the 15th December. The reason I grabbed the opportunity to speak to these three artists, while they were in Johannesburg, is because creative research is central to their practice but in fascinatingly different ways. Through their diverse artists' books they explore the complexities of personal and inter-cultural positions, language, and meaning-making through being. Veronika Schäpers was born in Coesfeld, Germany. She was trained as a bookbinder for three years before she studying for a diploma in painting and books at the University of Art & Design in Halle, Germany. After a three months scholarship with the Centro del bel Libro, Ascona in Switzerland, followed by a nine months scholarship with Naoaki Sakamoto in Tokyo, she began her career in 1998 as a free-lance book artist and working from her own studio in Tokyo. In 2012, Schäpers moved back to Germany and now lives and works in Karlsruhe . In her practice, Veronica explores a wide range of materials that offer visual and tactile solutions through the sensual medium of the book. Robbin Amy Silverberg is the founder of both Dobbin Mill, a hand-papermaking studio, and Dobbin Books, an artists' book studio, both in Brooklyn, New York. She graduated from Princeton University with a BA Cum Laude in Art History in 1980 and began making her own paper in 1980. Since then Robbin has created great number of artists' books—both on her own and in collaboration with other artists, all over the U.S., Canada, Europe, and South Africa. Robin's books embody her research into paper as her preferred material and as a vehicle for the multisensory experience of touch, reading and the transfer of ideas. Julie Chen was born in Inglewood, California. She completed an undergraduate degree in printmaking at the University of California, Berkeley in 1984.[1] She subsequently became interested in book arts and got a degree in book arts from Mills College in 1989. She began teaching book arts at Mills College as an adjunct in 1996 and became an associate professor in 2010. Julie has achieved prominence by creating conceptually sophisticated works that combine traditional techniques, such as letterpress printing and hand bookbinding, with more modern technologies such as photopolymer plates and laser cutting. She is known for pushing the structural boundaries of the artist's book with a range of architectural and sculptural approaches. At one point you will also hear the voice of Jack Ginsberg himself, explaining the after-exhibition access that is possible for visitors to this unique collection of artists books, one of the most comprehensive in the world. Please note that this recording was done by myself with a single microphone in the Jack Ginsberg Centre. As a result, the sound quality is not great, but I hope the content is of sufficient interest to make listening to this special ARA podcast worthwhile.

On today's episode we're joined by one of the UK's most successful singer-songwriters. He's collaborated with everyone from Kylie Minogue to Bob Dylan and Nile Rogers, and recently sold out Wembley Arena - we're joined today by the utterly delightful and extremely talented Jack Savoretti.Jack had a truly international upbringing, moving from London to Switzerland, and spending idyllic childhood summers in Portofino, Italy, where his father's family hail from as well as on a remote Bahamian island - it's a rather enviable childhood I have to say. It was a slow-burning rise to fame for Jack as a musician, who toured the UK for several years, all the while his fanbase grew and grew and it was his sixth album, Singing to Strangers, that finally hit the number one spot, and his most recent record, the sun-soaked and star-studded Europiana - which frankly couldn't be a better talking point for the podcast, as it was inspired by his European upbringing and life - that was also a chart-topper too and it was really interesting to hear the story behind that.This episode is a love letter to the Mediterranean as well as a few spots farther afield, but as the night's draw in here in England, I hope this injects a bit of sunshine into your day.Destination Recap:Liguria, Italy Formentera, SpainOxfordshire, EnglandLugano, SwitzerlandAscona, Switzerland Hotel Eden Roc, Ascona, SwitzerlandPortofino, ItalySan Fruttuoso, ItalyPierre Island, BahamasAbu DhabiSouth AmericaJack Savoretti's latest single Dancing Through The Rain which is taken from Europiana Encore, a special extended edition of his chart topping album, Europiana, is out now.If you'd like to hear more from the podcast don't forget to hit subscribe or if you use apple podcasts to hit follow so that a new episode lands in your podcast app each week, and if you're really enjoying it I'd be so grateful if you could leave a rating or review.

Was passiert, wenn man sieben Musikerinnen und Musiker aus sechs verschiedenen Musik-Kulturen während 10 Tagen zum Musizieren, Diskutieren und Reflektieren zusammenbringt und ihnen völligen Freiraum lässt? Im Rahmen des Projektes «Building Bridges» liess sich das Centro Incontri Umani in Ascona im Jahr 2015 zum zweiten Mal auf diesen Versuch ein – der Ausgang: ungewiss. Wie nähern sich die Musikerinnen und Musiker einander an? Wo fruchten die musikalischen Begegnungen am besten? Wo sind die Grenzen der Vereinbarkeit verschiedener Musikkulturen? Erstausstrahlung 13.11.2015

Den Røde Kvartet, bestående af Anders Vogt, Nikolaj Knub, Anders Thingmand og jeg, har den sidste uges tid været i Schweiz, hvor vi har trådt i C. G. Jungs fodspor. Først var vi en tur i Ascona på grænsen til Italien, her var vi til konferencen “Jung's Red Book for Our Time: Searching for Soul in the 21st Century”. Det var også i Ascona at Jung i sin tid tog hen for at dele sine ideer, møde nye, inspirere og integrere med andre tænkere i Eranos gruppen. Visionen bag Eranos kom fra Olga Fröbe-Kapteyn, der ønskede at bringe østens og vestens filosofi, spiritualitet og tænkning sammen. Denne ånd om at integrere og møde lever stadig i Eranos, og vi mærkede den til konferencen. Vi var så heldige at møde og tale med Jungs efterkommere, vi var på besøg i hans hus i Küsnacht og fik en af de ellers utroligt sjældne muligheder for at se ‘tårnet' ved hans sommerresidens i Bollingen. Der er lagt en masse nye ingredienser i det alkymistiske gryde, og vi glæder os meget til at se hvad der fødes af denne tur. I første omgang vil jeg gerne dele en samtale vi havde vores sidste dag, umiddelbart efter at vi havde brugt tid ved tårnet i Bollingen, og set hans famøse sten. I samtalen reflekterer vi over turen, over menneskene vi har mødt, stederne vi har været, landskaberne og taler især om gruppens dynamikker, arketypiske dimensioner, synkronisiteter og dybdepsykologisk drengerøvs humor.

This is episode 9 of Paranormal Stories. This week the books are; 'THE NEXT WORLD Extraordinary Experiences of the Afterlife' by Gregory Shushan'UFOs Before Roswell: European Foo-Fighters 1940-1945' by Graeme RendallAs you may know I produce two podcasts, the past lives podcast and the Alien UFO Podcast and it is here that I combine the two. When I have a guests on my podcasts I read their books to research and work out questions for the episodes.When reading these books I always find such fascinating information which never makes it into the podcast and here I get a chance to give you a peek into the book.I did seek permission to record these extracts from the books and the authors kindly said yes.'THE NEXT WORLD Extraordinary Experiences of the Afterlife' by Gregory ShushanIn The Next World, historian of religions Gregory Shushan explores the relationships between extraordinary experiences and beliefs in life after death. He first shows how throughout history and around the world, near-death experiences have influenced ideas about the afterlife. Shushan also takes a deep dive into the problem of similarities and differences between NDE accounts. Not only do they vary widely, but so does a culture's way of responding to them and integrating them into their belief systems.In this book Shushan also compares NDEs with accounts of shamanic spirit journeys to afterlife realms, intermission states between reincarnations from people who remember past lives, and descriptions of otherworlds by souls of the dead communicating through mediums. Accounts of all these phenomena bear striking similarities to NDEs, though also have important differences. Examining them each in relation to the other results in a kind of reciprocal illumination, in which each type of extraordinary experience sheds light on the other.Drawing on over two decades of research into cross-cultural afterlife beliefs and extraordinary experiences, The Next World presents not only an accessible overview of Shushan's work, but also takes a bold new step in psychical research. By combining ideas and methods from a variety of disciplines – archaeology, anthropology, sociology, and the study of religions – Shushan's unique take on the issues leads to new understandings of them. Unlike any of these disciplines, however, Shushan also crosses over into metaphysics, philosophy, and parapsychology, considering the implications of the cross-cultural data for the survival hypothesis: Are NDEs and other extraordinary experiences actually glimpses into another world and a taste of the true spiritual reality? If so, what could this afterlife actually be like in light of all the diversity of accounts?BioGregory Shushan, PhD, is the leading authority on near-death experiences and the afterlife across cultures and throughout history. He is a Research Fellow of the Parapsychology Foundation, and was formerly Perrott-Warrick Researcher at University of Oxford's Ian Ramsey Centre for Science and Religion; Scholar-in Residence at the Centro Incontri Umani (The Cross Cultural Centre), Ascona, Switzerland; and Honorary Research Fellow at the Religious Experience Research Centre, University of Wales Trinity Saint David. He has lectured at universities in the UK, Ireland, and Switzerland and has given numerous talks on his research in nine countries, and has appeared on the History Channel.Dr. Shushan holds degrees in Religious Studies (University of Wales Lampeter), Research Methods for the Humanities, Egyptian Archaeology (University College London), and Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology (Birbeck College, University of London).His work has been generously supported by grants from the Perrott-Warrick Fund at Trinity College Cambridge, the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the International Association for Near-Death Studies, the Cedar Creek Institute, the Alex Tanous Foundation for Scientific Research, the Parapsychology Foundation, the Society for Psychical Research, and by readers like you.https://www.amazon.com/Next-World-Extraordinary-Experiences-Afterlife-ebook/dp/B09W2Q3GT8/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1649499919&sr=8-1https://www.gregoryshushan.com/'UFOs Before Roswell: European Foo-Fighters 1940-1945' by Graeme RendallDuring the final six months of World War Two, a strange phenomenon known to US Army Air Force night-fighter squadrons as the “Foo Fighters” was witnessed by crews operating over western Germany. Mysterious lights were frequently reported, following their aircraft or sitting off their wingtips. These lights did not appear to show any hostile intent, although they often frightened aircrew, who thought they may have been German secret weapons. For many years, it has been believed that these mysterious wartime sightings started in November 1944.However, this is simply accepted wisdom, based on a false premise published in a December 1945 magazine article and then repeated in various books dealing with UFOs published since the 1950s.The true story of the “Foo Fighters” goes back much earlier than 1944, involving RAF aircrew operating over Germany and Italy. The nicknames for what they encountered were different, but the phenomenon they witnessed was almost certainly the same. Mysterious lights, "rockets" and "jets" were reported on a regular basis, with many of these events being listed in official records. These cases, plus others which may not have been reported to the military authorities at the time, are examined closely in this book.Various explanations have been suggested to explain the “Foo Fighters” and these are looked at in great detail. In the 1950s, several German “designers” came forward to claim that they had been personally involved with secret Nazi projects that they believed were the source of wartime sightings - and in some cases, post-war ones too. Their claims will also be studied in depth.The ”Foo Fighters” are a largely forgotten aspect of the UFO subject in the 20th Century, and this book is intended to address that lack of coverage. It also provides a wealth of information and detail on wartime German secret weapons programmes and bombing raids, so should appeal to readers with an interest in World War Two aviation who are looking for stories with a difference.The foreword to this book has been written by Sean Cahill, one of the witnesses involved in the infamous November 2004 US Navy "Tic Tac" case. I am most grateful to Sean for his contribution to my work.BioI have been interested in aviation for as long as I can remember. Starting off with model kits and books, I moved onto writing about aircraft for a local magazine in my early twenties, and then travelled around Siberia in the summer of 1992 looking for interesting Russian aeroplanes to photograph.I published my first book, "To the Ends of the Earth: A Snapshot of Aviation in North Eastern Siberia, Summer 1992", in 2021. "UFOs Before Roswell: European Foo-Fighters 1940-1945" was also released in August 2021 to much acclaim. There are some fascinating cases in this book that are being shared publicly for the first time. A third book dealing with the history of RAF Morpeth, a wartime aerodrome near where I live in Northumberland, England, was published in November 2021, and I have also released two volumes dealing with local aviation history in the county.The second book listed above relates to my other passion, Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP). You may know these better as UFOs! I have also written articles for The Debrief, UAP Media UK and Shadows Of Your Mind magazine, and support initiatives to bring more information about UAP into the public eye. I am a also one of the members of UAP Media UK.https://www.amazon.com/UFOs-Before-Roswell-Foo-Fighters-1940-1945-ebook/dp/B09DRBHH1Z/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1649504412&sr=8-1https://www.reivercountrybooks.com/http://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcasthttps://www.patreon.com/pastlivespodcast

Lange Haare, wilde Bärte, Kittel und weite Hosen: Die Aussteiger, die um 1900 auf der Suche nach einem alternativen Leben auf dem Monte Verità nahe Ascona zusammenfanden, waren leicht zu erkennen. (BR 2015)

"Geh mal in die Rennabteilung - da suchen sie Leute wie Dich!" - mit diesem Satz nahm das Berufsleben von Bernhard Zech einen Verlauf, von dem man eigentlich nur träumen kann. Als Mechaniker in der Motorsportabteilung war er immer nah dran, wenn Hilfe gebraucht wurde oder wieder mal irgendwo improvisiert werden musste und das war, zumindest zu Beginn der Opel-Motorsportstory, nicht selten der Fall. Erfolge wie der erste Europameistertitel ließen nicht lange auf sich warten, aber trotzdem gab es immer auch wieder Durststrecken, bei denen das Durchhaltevermögen der gesamten Mannschaft gefragt war. Gut, wenn man als Motivationsschub dann mit Menschen wie Rauno Aaltonen, Jochi Kleint oder Walter Röhrl zusammenarbeitet und wenn man meinen Gast so reden hört, dann spürt man seine Gänsehaut förmlich und ich bin mir sicher, genau diese Leidenschaft ist es, die auf die vielen treuen Opel-Fans unter euch übergesprungen ist und bis heute anhält. Viel Spaß mit Bernhard Zech! *** Das Buch, das Christian Geistdörfer und ich zu Walter Röhrls 75.

Bachot decided when he was 9 years old that he would one day live in Europe. His mother asked him not to leave Cameroon, but Bachot felt the magnetic pull to Europe and was so determined to go, that he made the 15 year-long journey to become a musician in Europe.  Bachot is self-taught on several instruments, but found his real love in playing piano. I am so impressed with his determination, extreme focus and unwavering belief in his abilities and calling, and I know you will be too.    You won't want to miss when he shares his story about how he managed to cross borders, even when he didn't have money or a place to stay, and yet, he managed to convince border officials to allow him to stay and continue his journey through western Africa to Europe.  Bachot reminds us to be honest with ourselves, follow our dreams no matter what, and to not be discouraged, even when things don't go our way, because we will learn so much along the way. His journey is remarkable and inspirational, and is a great reminder to keep working hard for the things we love.  Be sure to check out his music on Spotify, SoundCloud and YouTube.

As a scientist, Tom's insight into religion and psychology balances his worldview given that he matriculated through both the sciences and philosophy. He says, that as soon as he began to see the world through a hand-lens, he was sold on physics, biology, entomology, evolution and ecology, and vertebrate zoology, but landed squarely in biology. Tom's primary area of interest began in complex systems. Access to an electron microscope in the biochemistry lab opened up Tom's understanding of the microscopic world that is within, around, and through us. He defines “complex systems” and uses this interest to look at religion and psychology. Tom asks why no one can predict what the Dow Jones is going to do tomorrow?” Because the economy is a complex system. Tom's “naïve love of biology” was the attitude that bade him to leave the early movement in bioengineering, which he deemed as morally repugnant, and sent him onto a path of recollecting his interests in philosophy and religion primarily to the work of Carl Jung, James Hillman, and Henry Corbin. Tom's love for Hillman is expressed from his seeking psychological diversity and Corbin for his grounding in the imagination. Tom departed from reductive science because his brain began to feel like a machine, cranking out facts, and this landed him in the exploration of the imagination. With this in mind, Tom recognizes the battle within him between the “humanist” and the “scientist.” He believes on some level that adopting an easy pluralism as a means for us each to deal with our tendency toward fundamentalist thinking and behaving. He has been actively undermining the tendency for any human to be motivated by any fundamentalism – which both Henry Corbin and James Hillman do. Good on you, Tom! Bio: Tom graduated from Connecticut College in 1974 with a B.A. in philosophy, magna cum laude, with coursework in history and the history of art, and received the Susanne Langer Award for Achievement in Philosophy. Among the most long-lasting influences were my reading of Hegel, Heidegger, Ernst Cassirer and Erwin Panofsky, as well as the ideas and the teaching of historian F. Edward Cranz. In 1997 Tom resigned from my teaching position and my family moved to Maine. He then began writing in earnest. Tom's first essay on Corbin was among those selected to receive a John Templeton Foundation Exemplary Essay Award in the “Expanding Humanity's Vision of God” Program in 2000. The following year he was one of six invited speakers at the Eranos Conference in Ascona, Switzerland, where Corbin had been a leading figure for many years. Tom's first book on Corbin, the imagination and related themes was published in 2003, and others followed in 2005, 2007, 2012 and 2015. In 2004 he was invited for the first of a series of lectures for the Temenos Academy in London. In the summer of 2007 Tom was honored to be elected a Fellow of the Temenos Academy.
