BANNARE CALIBRI: la nuova battaglia politica parte da un font nel 2025!Il Dipartimento di Stato USA ordina: ''Stop Calibri, si torna a Times New Roman''. Motivo? Decoro e professione VS inclusione e accessibilità.Se passano decisioni simili, ogni design pubblico rischia di riflettere solo la politica del governo corrente — e la neutralità amministrativa svanisce. Un cambio di font può davvero diventare una guerra culturale che impatta milioni di documenti ufficiali e tutti i cittadini che li leggono ogni giorno?~~~~~ INGAGGI E SPONSORSHIP ~~~~~ Per contatti commerciali: sales@matteoflora.comPer consulenze legali: info@42LawFirm.it~~~~~ SOSTIENI IL CANALE! ~~~~~Con la Membership PRO puoi supportare il Canale » https://link.mgpf.it/proSe vuoi qui la mia attrezzatura » https://mgpf.it/attrezzatura~~~~~ SEGUIMI ANCHE ONLINE CON LE NOTIFICHE! ~~~~~» CANALE WHATSAPP » https://link.mgpf.it/wa» CANALE TELEGRAM » https://mgpf.it/tg» CORSO (Gratis) IN FUTURO » https://mgpf.it/nl» NEWSLETTER » https://mgpf.it/nl~~~~~ CIAO INTERNET E MATTEO FLORA ~~~~~ Questo è “Ciao Internet!” la prima e più seguita trasmissione di TECH POLICY in lingua italiana, online su YouTube e in Podcast.Io sono MATTEO FLORA e sono:» Professore in Fondamenti di Sicurezza delle AI e delle SuperIntelligenze (ESE)» Professore ac in Corporate Reputation e Crisis Management (Pavia).Sono un Imprenditore Seriale del digitale e ho fondato:» The Fool » https://thefool.it - La società italiana leader di Customer Insight» The Magician » https://themagician.agency - Atelier di Advocacy e Gestione della Crisi» 42 Law Firm » https://42lf.it - Lo Studio Legale per la Trasformazione Digitale » ...e tante altre qui: https://matteoflora.com/#aziendeSono Future Leader (IVLP) del Dipartimento di Stato USA sotto Amministrazione Obama nel programma “Combating Cybercrime (2012)”.Sono Presidente di PermessoNegato, l'associazione italiana che si occupa di Pornografia Non- Consensuale e Revenge Porn.Conduco in TV “Intelligenze Artificiali” su Mediaset/TgCom.

durée : 02:19:41 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Albane Penaranda - En 1978, Daniel Caux consacrait un documentaire à Michael Snow, artiste canadien pluridisciplinaire et figure majeure de l'art contemporain et du cinéma expérimental, disparu en 2023. Chantal Akerman racontait à quel point la découverte des films de Snow avait été une révélation. - réalisation : Phane Montet

Aujourd'hui, on va découvrir ensemble l'histoire de l'Atelier des ABCDaires. Au tout départ, il y a quasi 35 ans, cette marque proposait des kits de broderie et de point de croix et c'est la grande soeur de Bénédicte qui en était à l'origine. Bénédicte nous raconte ce que c'est que d'avoir une première boutique, à Lyon, puis une deuxième à Nancy. Elle nous parle de leur développement autour du patchwork, de cette période particulièrement faste, où la concurrence n'était pas aussi présente que maintenant. Et puis, elle nous raconte comment, avec son mari Laurent, ils sillonnent les routes de France 9 mois dans l'année pour aller à la rencontre de ses clientes de salons en salons. J'ai beaucoup apprécié notre conversation, car Bénédicte nous retrace avec beaucoup de transparence et de lucidité comment l'entreprise a changé au fil des années et s'est adaptée à l'évolution du marché. Comme pour l'épisode 99 avec Boho and wood Macramé, je dois cette très chouette rencontre à Sandra, l'organisatrice des salons de loisirs créatifs Mille et une idées et qui a coproduit également le salon Créativa Rouen et j'en profite pour la remercier à nouveau. Bénédicte a donc choisi de raconter son aventure entrepreneuriale à mon micro et me rémunère donc pour cet épisode ensemble. Vous le savez, animer ce podcast est une passion, mais c'est aussi mon travail désormais, alors le soutien de marques comme celle de Bénédicte est particulièrement important pour moi, pour que je puisse continuer à partager toutes ces très jolies histoires. Avant de partager avec vous cet épisode, je tiens également à remercier Anne-Lise, de la marque Rose de Biboun, pour son soutien sur Tipeee ! Anne-Lise, vous la connaissez peut-être déjà, car je l'ai reçue dans l'épisode 34. La passion créative d'Anne-Lise, c'est la gravure de tampons. Elle en a fait son métier, elle est même reconnue comme artisan d'art ! Alors si vous voulez créer votre propre tampon, pour un logo par exemple, je vous invite vivement à aller suivre le travail d'Anne-Lise sur rosedebiboun.fr et sur Instagram bien sûr ! Bonne écoute !Mélanie

Wie viele Werke er und seine Frau besitzen, kann Manfred Fuchs gar nicht sagen. Schon als Schüler kaufte er von seinem ersten Taschengeld erste Drucke und saß stundenlang in der Kunsthalle Mannheim, um berühmte Werke zu kopieren. Doch nach dem frühen Tod des Vaters musste sich Manfred Fuchs vor allem um das Familienunternehmen kümmern. Die Leidenschaft für die Kunst ist aber immer geblieben. Heute, im Ruhestand, genießt er seine beeindruckende Kunstsammlung und verbringt viel Zeit in seinem Atelier beim Malen.

Dal 2026 chi viaggia negli USA con l'ESTA dovrà consegnare TUTTI i social, numeri di telefono, email degli ultimi 5-10 anni e persino dati biometrici.La proposta entra in vigore tra 60 giorni e riguarda oltre 14 milioni di turisti ogni anno, italiani inclusi. Se passerà, la schedatura digitale sarà obbligatoria come il passaporto: ogni like, foto o partecipazione a manifestazioni può influire sul permesso di ingresso.Il rischio? Un database di massa che mette privacy e futuro di tutti in pericolo – se violato, sarebbe un disastro geopolitico senza precedenti.Cambieresti il tuo modo di usare i social sapendo che saranno controllati per viaggiare?~~~~~ INGAGGI E SPONSORSHIP ~~~~~ Per contatti commerciali: sales@matteoflora.comPer consulenze legali: info@42LawFirm.it~~~~~ SOSTIENI IL CANALE! ~~~~~Con la Membership PRO puoi supportare il Canale » https://link.mgpf.it/proSe vuoi qui la mia attrezzatura » https://mgpf.it/attrezzatura~~~~~ SEGUIMI ANCHE ONLINE CON LE NOTIFICHE! ~~~~~» CANALE WHATSAPP » https://link.mgpf.it/wa» CANALE TELEGRAM » https://mgpf.it/tg» CORSO (Gratis) IN FUTURO » https://mgpf.it/nl» NEWSLETTER » https://mgpf.it/nl~~~~~ CIAO INTERNET E MATTEO FLORA ~~~~~ Questo è “Ciao Internet!” la prima e più seguita trasmissione di TECH POLICY in lingua italiana, online su YouTube e in Podcast.Io sono MATTEO FLORA e sono:» Professore in Fondamenti di Sicurezza delle AI e delle SuperIntelligenze (ESE)» Professore ac in Corporate Reputation e Crisis Management (Pavia).Sono un Imprenditore Seriale del digitale e ho fondato:» The Fool » https://thefool.it - La società italiana leader di Customer Insight» The Magician » https://themagician.agency - Atelier di Advocacy e Gestione della Crisi» 42 Law Firm » https://42lf.it - Lo Studio Legale per la Trasformazione Digitale » ...e tante altre qui: https://matteoflora.com/#aziendeSono Future Leader (IVLP) del Dipartimento di Stato USA sotto Amministrazione Obama nel programma “Combating Cybercrime (2012)”.Sono Presidente di PermessoNegato, l'associazione italiana che si occupa di Pornografia Non- Consensuale e Revenge Porn.Conduco in TV “Intelligenze Artificiali” su Mediaset/TgCom.

In dieser Folge erzählt Maike, wie sich ihr ganzes Leben in einem Moment verschoben hat – und warum genau diese Zeit sie heute als Mutter und Unternehmerin so tief grounded. Wir sprechen darüber, • wie es ist, monatelang zwischen Neonatalklinik, Corona-Isolation und Business-Verantwortung zu pendeln • warum ihr zweites Kind Heilung statt zusätzlicher Stress war • wie diese Erfahrung ihre Art zu arbeiten verändert hat: mehr Sanftheit, weniger Drama, klare Prioritäten • wie aus einer klassischen Druckerei feministische Papeterie, Kunst & die Brand True Studio wurden • Maikes große Vision: ein physischer Ort als perfekter Arbeitsraum für Frauen – mit Atelier, Kaffee & Kreativ-Community Diese Folge ist für dich, wenn du Mutter bist (oder werden willst), selbstständig bist und dich fragst: Wie um alles in der Welt soll ich das alles halten – ohne mich selbst zu verlieren?

Ogni clic dei tuoi dipendenti su un ChatBot può esporre la tua azienda a una fuga di dati devastante. Oltre il 48% dei lavoratori usa l'AI senza controllo IT: significa che email, codici e dati sensibili rischiano di finire nei modelli AI esterni – esponendoti a multe, perdita di business e caos interno già oggi.

Aujourd'hui, je reviens sur un atelier organisé par l'asso Kodiko, auquel j'ai participé en octobre.Kodiko est une association qui aide les réfugiés à accéder à une situation professionnelle stable.Dans cet épisode, je vous transmets ce que j'ai appris pendant l'atelier, et notamment...les 3 types de protection qu'offre la Francela différence entre "migrant", "demandeur d'asile" et "réfugié"la durée moyenne pour accéder à une situation stable en Francele pays qui accueille le plus de réfugiés dans le monde.Je vous recommande de lire la BD "L'odyssée d'Hakim", écrite par Fabien Toulmé.

J'ai rencontré Clémence dans mon quartier où elle a ouvert Dubouquet. Ma fille l'adore, le simple fait de lui dire que nous allons chez Clémence allume des étoiles dans ses yeux, quant à Henri il aime regarder les plantes, les pots, faire des choix pour peupler notre salon. Je savais que Clémence avait eu une première expérience d'entrepreneure avec son compagnon Rémi, le seul homme que j'ai rencontré qui sache reconnaitre du seersucker de façon immédiate. Ensemble, en 2011, ils ont fondé Le Colonel, qui est vite devenue une marque de référence pour celles et ceux qui cherchent des accessoires de cérémonies et pour tous les jours. Clémence revient sur cette aventure entrepreneuriale, du premier atelier à l'ouverture de boutiques à Paris puis à Lyon, son besoin ainsi que celui de Rémi de partir 6 mois, avec un sac dos en Amérique du Sud et de revenir à Lille pour ouvrir une boutique de fleurs avec un amour du client et la volonté d'offrir à chacun une expérience unique. Hortense ne s'y est pas trompé et je sais qu'elle n'est pas la seule à apprécier l'accueil, la personnalisation et le sens du détail des équipes de Dubouquet. Depuis quelques mois, Clémence et Rémi ont ouvert une seconde boutique rue des Ponts de Comines à quelques minutes de la Gare Lille Flandre et à une encablure de la rue Pierre Mauroy. Dubouquet ce n'est pas juste un fleuriste, c'est un accueil chaleureux, des bouquets merveilleux et en ce moment ce sont aussi de beaux sapins (il leur en reste quelques uns si vous n'avez pas encore le vôtre) et des couronnes de Noël plus belles les unes que les autres. Si vous avez aimé cette conversation et que vous avez envie de soutenir ce travail qu'est la création d'un podcast indépendant, n'hésitez pas à vous abonner sur votre plateforme d'écoute, à le noter, à laisser un commentaire et à le partager autour de vous, c'est par ces actions que le podcast sera visible alors merci à vous ! Maintenant, je laisse la place à cette masterclass sur l'entrepreneuriat, que j'ai eu la joie d'enregistrer avec Clémence.Bonne écoute ! Ses recommandations culturelles :Musée des Arts Décoratifs, exposition sur les 100 ans de l'art déco qui a lieu du 22 octobre 2025 au 26 avril 2026Aller en braderie, n'importe où pour chiner Sa recommandation d'invités :Marie Dubrulle, photographeJulien, les Festins de JulienElodie & Caroline de PicklesJustine de Slowmod Montage et mixage réalisés par la talentueuse Pauline FilippelliPhotos : Marie DubrulleHébergé par Ausha.

Vanessa, pendant tout le mois de décembre, on découvre nos villes sanctuaires. Les Balades spirituelles et culturelles ont de plus en plus le vent en poupe. Ce matin, les Saintes Maries de la Mer en Camargue…Vous les connaissez déjà pour son pèlerinage des Gitans, qui a lieu chaque 24 mai. Pour célébrer Sara, la sainte patronne des Gitans. Sara avait accompagné Marie Jacobé et Marie Salomé, lorsqu'elles ont fui la Palestine autour de l'an 45 avec Marie-Madeleine à bord d'une barque. Elle les a menées jusqu'à ces plages sauvages de Provence, qu'elles ont évangélisée.Beaucoup l'ignorent, mais il existe 2 autres pèlerinages dont l'un dédiées aux Maries le 1er week-end de décembre. Pourquoi ? Car le célèbre Roi Renée ordonne en 1448 des fouilles pour retrouver leurs corps qu'on dit inhumés. Les corps sont retrouvés et le 4 décembre, leurs reliques sont déposées dans des chasses. Puis élevées au-dessus du chœur. Ce week-end c'est donc "la Translation des reliques", le dernier Pèlerinage des Saintes.Comment se déroule ce pèlerinage ?Déjà, il est ouvert a tout le monde. C'est spirituel mais culturel aussi. Il y a une ferveur incroyable dans l'église. Sans tomber dans le folklore, des cierges dans chaque main, les bras tendus et les yeux tournés vers la chapelle haute. Et là, nous assistons à la descente des chasses de Marie Jacobé et Marie Salomé. Grâce à un mécanisme de poulies et de palan qui date de 1850, l'un des derniers de France, si ce n'est le dernier. La procession elle se fait aux flambeaux, la barque des saintes Maries est portée par la confrérie de la Croix de Jérusalem près des arènes a l'église, en passant par les petites rues.Et cette église sanctuaire vaut le détour ?Que vous soyez croyant ou non, elle est immanquable. Pour 2 endroits bien particuliers : Quand on monte dans le chœur par les 2 petits escaliers en pierre, on est juste au-dessus de la crypte de Sarah. Couverte de robes, manteaux. La Crypte est illuminée de cierges. Et puis lorsque vous grimpez sur le toit de l'église, c'est un panorama à 360 degrés sur la Camargue et la Provence qui s'offre à vous. Sachez aussi que vous êtes au point de départ d'une nouvelle route. Elle vous emmène jusqu'à St Maximin la Sainte Baume en Provence verte : sur les pas de Marie Madeleine. Que vous soyez pèlerin ou simple randonneur, vous serez comblé par le silence et la nature…. Et exténués si vous ne faites pas une boucle mais les 224 km.Des hébergements à nous conseiller ?Alors soit on reste dans ambiance nature en bordure de marais et d'étangs pour se ressourcer avec le Cacharel : hôtel simple authentique, en pierre de chaux.

Chat Control è tornato. Sembrava morto, ma l'UE ci riprova con la ''Legge Zombie'' che minaccia la fine della privacy digitale.Ne ho discusso approfonditamente nel mio intervento agli ''Stati Generali del diritto di Internet e della Intelligenza Artificiale'', lo straordinario convegno diretto da Giuseppe Cassano e Francesco Di Ciommo. La scusa è la ''protezione dei minori'', ma la realtà tecnica è una sorveglianza di massa indiscriminata. Se passa, la crittografia End-to-End muore e siamo tutti presunti colpevoli.I criminali useranno altro, mentre i cittadini verranno esposti a backdoor e controlli.

Nadine Klein, Schuhmacherin aus Leidenschaft und Mitgründerin von Lieblinge, hat genau das erlebt. Ihre Geschichte beginnt in einem Berliner Hinterhof mit einem kleinen Atelier, viel Handwerk und noch mehr Herzklopfen. Mit Mut, Glauben und einer Prise himmlischer Fügung wurde aus der Idee für einen 3D-Krabbelschuh ein Unternehmen, das heute 350.000 € Jahresumsatz macht und über 50.000 Paar Schuhe verkauft hat – alles „Made in Berlin“.Doch der Weg dorthin war geprägt von Ängsten, Mindset-Shifts und göttlichen Überraschungen: Ein Investor, der eigentlich eine Kirchenglocke finanzieren wollte, ermöglichte mit 100.000 € die Produktion der ersten Schuhe. Als das Konto fast leer war, brachte eine Influencerin die entscheidende Wendung. Nadine lernte: Transformation beginnt im Herzen – und ein gesundes Mindset ist der Schlüssel zu Wachstum und Fülle. Ihr Glaube, Lobpreis auf der Intensivstation und das Vertrauen, dass Versorgung immer kommt, prägen jeden Schritt.Heute steht Lieblinge für nachhaltige, geniale Kinderschuhe und eine Vision, die weit über das Produkt hinausgeht: Bewegung, Empowerment und ein neues Denken für die nächste Generation.Zentrale Themen der Episode:- 100.000 € statt Kirchenglocke: Wie ein unerwarteter Investor alles veränderte- Der erste 3D-Krabbelschuh aus Berlin – Innovation aus Leidenschaft- Vom Armutsdenken zur Fülle: Mindset-Transformation als Unternehmerin- Lobpreis auf der Intensivstation: Wie Glaube in Krisen trägt- Familien-Unternehmertum: Rituale, Integration & Next Generation- Nachhaltigkeit & Verantwortung: Cradle-to-Cradle im Schuhbusiness- Vision für die Zukunft: Erwachsenen-Barfußschuhe & Movement-KurseAchtung Podcast-Bonus: Mit dem Code "CKS10" sparst du 10% auf das gesamte Sortiment von https://lieblinge.com/Hilf uns, noch mehr Kingdompreneurs zu inspirieren!

Lisa Kränzler malt und schreibt, das eine ist bei ihr nicht ohne das andere zu denken. Maler-Dichter nennt sich die Wahl-Dresdenerin deshalb. Überhaupt: Eine Trennung von Kunst und Leben ist für Lisa Kränzler nicht vorstellbar. In ihrem neuesten Roman "Individualverkehr" erzählt sie von der Künstlerin K, die durch einen Führerscheinentzug aus ihren geliebten Routinen gerissen wird. Kurzerhand engagiert sie einen Fahrer für die Fahrten zwischen Wohnung und Atelier. Dabei entstehen Gespräche über das Leben und das Wesen von Kunst. "Individualverkehr" ist im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes eine "Auto-Fiktion". Große Teile des Romans spielen in Lisa Kränzlers Auto. Nadine ist mitgefahren, nachdem sie die Autorin im Atelier einer Berliner Künstlerin abgeholt hat. Das Buch Lisa Kränzler: "Individualverkehr", Verbrecher Verlag, 200 Seiten, 22,00 Euro.

La NATO pianifica un attacco preventivo contro le minacce ibride russe: davvero stiamo rischiando la Terza Guerra Mondiale?Se la politica italiana non capisce la guerra moderna, le infrastrutture digitali rischiano attacchi informatici devastanti e campagne di disinformazione già da oggi: un solo attacco cyber può bloccare interi servizi pubblici e causare perdite di oltre 20 milioni di euro in 24 ore. Prevenire in modo proattivo è legge strategica: chi aspetta di reagire… perde in partenza. E questo è il significato, per me corretto, delle parole dell'Ammiraglio NATO Giuseppe Cavo Dragone.La difesa preventiva non è un attacco, è una protezione necessaria nell'era digitale.~~~~~ INGAGGI E SPONSORSHIP ~~~~~ Per contatti commerciali: sales@matteoflora.comPer consulenze legali: info@42LawFirm.it~~~~~ SOSTIENI IL CANALE! ~~~~~Con la Membership PRO puoi supportare il Canale » https://link.mgpf.it/proSe vuoi qui la mia attrezzatura » https://mgpf.it/attrezzatura~~~~~ SEGUIMI ANCHE ONLINE CON LE NOTIFICHE! ~~~~~» CANALE WHATSAPP » https://link.mgpf.it/wa» CANALE TELEGRAM » https://mgpf.it/tg» CORSO (Gratis) IN FUTURO » https://mgpf.it/nl» NEWSLETTER » https://mgpf.it/nl~~~~~ CIAO INTERNET E MATTEO FLORA ~~~~~ Questo è “Ciao Internet!” la prima e più seguita trasmissione di TECH POLICY in lingua italiana, online su YouTube e in Podcast.Io sono MATTEO FLORA e sono:» Professore in Fondamenti di Sicurezza delle AI e delle SuperIntelligenze (ESE)» Professore ac in Corporate Reputation e Crisis Management (Pavia).Sono un Imprenditore Seriale del digitale e ho fondato:» The Fool » https://thefool.it - La società italiana leader di Customer Insight» The Magician » https://themagician.agency - Atelier di Advocacy e Gestione della Crisi» 42 Law Firm » https://42lf.it - Lo Studio Legale per la Trasformazione Digitale » ...e tante altre qui: https://matteoflora.com/#aziendeSono Future Leader (IVLP) del Dipartimento di Stato USA sotto Amministrazione Obama nel programma “Combating Cybercrime (2012)”.Sono Presidente di PermessoNegato, l'associazione italiana che si occupa di Pornografia Non- Consensuale e Revenge Porn.Conduco in TV “Intelligenze Artificiali” su Mediaset/TgCom.

L'intelligenza artificiale è una bolla finanziaria destinata a scoppiare?Tra il 2024 e il 2030 si giocheranno 7.000 miliardi di dollari: gli investimenti “circolari” tra giganti tech e startup rischiano di gonfiare artificialmente un mercato che potrebbe collassare tutto insieme. Se solo uno dei grandi player (Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle) fallisce, l'intero settore può crollare a catena: è già successo nel 2008 — questa volta i numeri sono 10 volte superiori.La vera domanda: bolla o rivoluzione?

Die Geschichte von Kathrin Lorenz beginnt in einem kleinen Ort namens Gillersdorf, an der Grenze zum Burgenland. „Ich bin mit Hühnern, Hasen und Maulwürfen aufgewachsen“, erzählt sie lachend. „Wir hatten wenig, aber unendlich viel Freiheit.“ Als sie sieben Jahre alt ist, stirbt ihre Mutter – ein Einschnitt, der vieles verändert und sie früh selbstständig werden lässt. „Ich war eine brave Schülerin, aber vor allem, um meinem Vater gute Noten zu schenken“, sagt sie. Der Wunsch, hinaus in die Welt zu gehen war trotzdem immer da und nach der Matura zieht es sie über den Atlantik – als Au-pair in die USA. Tagsüber kümmert sie sich um Kinder, abends besucht sie die University of Arts in Allentown. So lebt sie schon damals zwei Themen die sie ihr Leben lang begleiten: die Kunst und ihre soziale Ader. Zurück in Österreich folgt sie ihrem inneren Ruf – und besteht die Aufnahmeprüfung an der Universität für angewandte Kunst in Wien. Sie landet in der Klasse von Christian Ludwig Attersee. „Er hat immer gesagt: Nur drei Prozent leben später wirklich von der Kunst. Da hab ich mir gedacht – gut, dann bin ich halt bei diesen drei Prozent.“ Die Jahre an der Angewandten sind geprägt von Freiheit, Nachtarbeit und intensiven Begegnungen. Kathrin reist mit ihrer Klasse nach Italien und Belgien, trifft Hermann Nitsch und Daniel Spoerri – und lernt, dass Leben und Kunst nicht zu trennen sind. „Er hat uns gezeigt, dass Kunst nur funktioniert, wenn man sich selbst ins Leben wirft.“ Nach dem Studium lebt Kathrin zehn Jahre ausschließlich von ihrer Malerei. Sie stellt aus, verkauft ihre Werke, arbeitet nebenbei beim Film – zuerst vor, dann hinter der Kamera – und schreibt Artikel für eine Tageszeitung. „Ich war an einem Sonntagnachmittag am Himmel in Wien und erzählte jemandem, dass ich Kurzgeschichten schreibe. Eine Woche später hatte ich einen Job als Journalistin.“ Es sind diese scheinbar zufälligen Wendungen, die sich wie ein roter Faden durch ihr Leben ziehen – immer begleitet von Offenheit und Vertrauen. Dann kommt die Liebe – und mit ihr die Entscheidung, Wien zu verlassen. Gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann zieht sie in die Steiermark, auf einen alten Bauernhof, den sie renovieren – Stein für Stein, Ziegel für Ziegel. Heute ist der ehemalige Pferdestall ihr Atelier. Der Raum, in dem einst Tiere standen, ist jetzt erfüllt von Licht, Leinwänden und Farben. Kathrin malt dort nicht nur für sich, sie öffnet ihr Atelier auch für andere. „Ich male, indem ich höre“, sagt sie über ihre Arbeit. „Ich lasse mich von meinem Inneren führen.“ Diesen Zugang möchte sie teilen. In Formaten wie Sunrise Painting oder Moon Painting begleitet sie Menschen dabei, in ihre eigene Kreativität zu finden. Ihre Arbeit verbindet Kunst, Heilung und Achtsamkeit. Neben Malabenden bietet sie auch Sitzungen am Tonfeld an – einer Methode, bei der Menschen mit geschlossenen Augen im Ton arbeiten und ihre inneren Bilder in Bewegung bringen. Besonders am Herzen liegen ihr schwangere Frauen, die sie mit Mal- und Gestaltungstherapie begleitet: „Ich durfte erleben, wie kraftvoll es ist, in dieser Zeit über den Körper mit dem Kind in Verbindung zu gehen.“ Kathrin ist überzeugt, dass Kunst immer Ausdruck des Lebens ist – und dass beides nur dann gelingt, wenn man dem eigenen Herzen folgt. Oder, wie sie es am Ende des Gesprächs sagt: „Frauen müssen auf sich hören. Dein Herz kennt deinen Weg.“

Andy’s Brave New World: Part 3 The group leaves Yosemite, encounters Crystal. Based on a post by the hospital. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels. They were halfway through clearing the third floor's residential wing when the smell hit them, that too-familiar sweet-sour scent they'd encountered far too many times in the past week. They found him in one of the bedrooms, a middle-aged man in diplomatic attire, Juyeon John Chu, collapsed across his bed as if he'd simply laid down for a moment's rest. "I'll take care of it," Andy said quietly, already moving toward the body. "We can't bury him here, we might need the soil for growing food later. I'll take him to the sea tomorrow morning." No one argued. They'd all seen too many bodies to be truly shocked anymore, but finding one in what was meant to be their sanctuary cast a pall. "Let's get the water system running," Andy suggested after they'd wrapped the body and moved it to the yard. "But hold off on the generator for now. No sense advertising our presence with lights until we're more settled." They chose their rooms quickly. Daniela picked a corner room with good sightlines to the street. Sarah chose one near the bathroom, while Crystal selected a smaller room. Andy took the room nearest the stairs, positioning himself between potential threats and the others. The work of unloading their supplies took the rest of the daylight hours, their movements becoming more efficient as they learned the building's layout. They gathered on the roof as the sun began to set, their camp stoves and rehydrated meals spread out on a foldable plastic table scavenged from the kitchen. The view was breathtaking, the Golden Gate Bridge silhouetted against the darkening sky, the bay waters reflecting the last orange rays of sunlight. Despite everything, despite the silence that had fallen over the city and the scattered signs of candlelight appearing in distant windows, the vista remained stubbornly, achingly beautiful. "It's so pretty here," Crystal offered softly. "And it has everything we need. Good choice." She smiled at Andy. "Yeah, I'm glad this place has a gym," Sarah said, picking at her camping meal. "If I could just order my Korean skincare products, I'd be set." She sighed. "God, my skin is going to be a disaster without my routine." Andy chuckled, leaning back against the low wall. "For me, it's Netflix and H B O, I'll miss most. And streaming new music." He shrugged at their surprised looks. "I know, I know, I'm a park ranger, I should be all about nature. And I am! But there's nothing like unwinding with a good show or a new album after a long day." "Ice cream," Daniela said suddenly, her voice softer than usual. "I really miss ice cream. It's probably all melted now. And YouTube. Dad and I used to;" she paused. "Watch together all the time. I learned so much from tutorial videos. How to fix things, how to make stuff." She stared at her bowl. Crystal set down her bowl and touched Daniela softly on the arm. "For me, a proper hot shower," she said wistfully. "And getting my hair done at the salon. Just the whole experience of it, someone washing your hair, the massage;" "Oh god, yes," Sarah groaned. "My colorist in L A, she was an artist. These highlights?" She tugged at a strand of her expertly highlighted hair. "They're going to grow out and look awful." "Who did you go to?" Crystal asked, perking up slightly. "In L A, I mean?" "Sadie at Salon Santa Monica," Sarah replied. "Once I could afford it." Crystal's eyes lit up with recognition. "Oh! I knew some girls who went there. The agency had me going to Maurice at Atelier." She named one of the most exclusive salons in Los Angeles. "I mean, I couldn't afford it myself, it was part of the modeling contract." "Maurice?" Sarah's eyes widened. "I dream about getting an appointment there. Their balayage technique is incredible." They spent the next few minutes trading stories about L A salons and beauty treatments, their voices growing more animated as they compared experiences. Andy and Daniela exchanged bored glances, letting them have their moment of nostalgia. Finally, the conversation lulled naturally. Andy cleared his throat, his expression growing more serious. "For tonight, we'll get the Starlink array set up, then everyone can get some rest. Maybe have a shower." He gave Crystal a small smile. "Though it'll be cold for now, the water heater runs on natural gas, so that's going to take some time to sort out." He set his empty bowl aside. "Tomorrow morning, we should head to the Presidio, see what kind of organization is forming there. But before that, we need to think about security. Daniela, those anti-personnel mines you brought; think you can set up a perimeter?" Daniela nodded. "I also want to do a more thorough sweep of the building," he continued. "Check every desk, every shelf. Might find keys, documents, anything useful." The setting sun cast long shadows across the roof as he laid out his thoughts. "This place makes sense as a long-term base. The off-grid water and power should last us months, hopefully long enough to find renewable sources. If we can track down someone who knows electrical work, maybe get some solar panels up here on the roof with a battery bank, we'll be set." Sarah nodded, her expression open. "So we're staying?" A series of quick nods around the group confirmed their agreement. "In that case," Andy continued, "we should start doing serious scavenging runs. Stock up on preserved food, drinks, medical supplies, anything useful we can find. Crystal, can you look up all the grocery stores and restaurants, anywhere we might find food, and put them on a map? I saw a framed map of SF downstairs, we can use that for now." "Of course, glad to. I found a janitorial closet earlier too," Crystal said, her voice careful but eager to contribute. "But most of the cleaning equipment is electric. If we could get some manual supplies I could help maintain the place properly." "Good thinking," Andy acknowledged. "Add that to the list." He paused, considering. "You know, looking at our group, we've got, survival skills, combat expertise, " he nodded toward Daniela, "and you two are both eager and resourceful. But we're missing a lot. No medical knowledge beyond basic first aid. No electrical or mechanical experience. Nobody who knows construction or farming." He looked around the circle. "If we find people with those skills, we should consider inviting them to join us. This place is big enough." "What about the water situation long-term? We'll go through it faster if more join." Daniela asked. "Once our storage runs out, going down to the bay to refill with our trucks and purify would be inefficient. Maybe dangerous too." Andy nodded approvingly at her foresight. "You're right. But that's a problem we share with other survivors, so we can keep an eye out for solutions, maybe try to organize something collectively. A well, maybe? Or a water truck, get someone who knows how to swap its engine for a Tesla electric one." He paused and rubbed his chin. "Solar panels and batteries can last 25-30 years with minimal maintenance. Medium-term, we should look to electrify everything we can. Long-term;" he shrugged. "Hopefully society gets organized enough to restart battery and solar panel production or something." He sat up straighter. "Actually, that should be our top priority, medium term, reducing fuel dependency. All our fuel will degrade within a year anyway." He started counting off on his fingers. "Find an electrician. Scavenge solar panels and batteries. Track down some electric vehicles." A pause. "Everything else we need, food, medicine, weapons, we can stockpile, but fuel? That's our biggest vulnerability right now." "Makes sense," Sarah said, rising from her spot on the roof. "I'm going to set up the array and then hit the gym before bed." She glanced at Andy, her voice taking on a playful tone. "Want to join? I could use a spotter." Andy met her gaze, a slight smile playing at his lips. "Sure. Could use a workout after all that driving." Day 7, Evening The gym felt different in the dim glow of their camping lantern, shadows playing across the equipment. Sarah had changed into a matching set of compression shorts and sports bra in deep purple, the material clinging to every curve as she began her warm-up stretches. Why she felt the need to change from athleisure to athleisure was beyond Andy's comprehension, but he appreciated seeing her in yet another fitness-influencer outfit. She positioned herself where Andy could clearly see her, making each movement deliberately graceful, arching her back slightly more than necessary. "I usually focus on targeted exercises," she said, moving to the cable machine for some standing rows that emphasized her toned back and shoulders. She adjusted her stance, making sure he had a perfect view of her form. "You know, for the gains. But I guess those days are done." Andy let his gaze linger appreciatively on her athletic figure, toned legs, and firm ass. "Those isolation exercises clearly worked for you," he said, moving closer ostensibly to watch her form. "But with everything we're dealing with now, functional strength might be more important." Sarah adjusted her position, deliberately brushing against him as she moved. "Oh? What would you suggest?" "Compound lifts," Andy said, pointing to the power rack. "Deadlifts, squats, bench press. Works multiple muscle groups at once, builds practical strength." He walked over and demonstrated the deadlift form with an empty bar, aware of her eyes on him. Sarah approached the rack, copying his stance but imperfect. "Like this?" she asked, looking back at him over her shoulder. Andy stepped behind her to adjust her position, his hands firm but gentle as they guided her shoulders and hips into proper alignment. He stayed close, his breath warm on her neck. "Keep your back straight," he said, his voice low and intimate. "Engage your core." She completed the lift, then turned to face him, still holding the bar, their bodies inches apart. "That definitely feels different," she said, looking up at him. "More; intense." "It's better for overall fitness," Andy said, making no move to step back. "Not just for show." Sarah set the bar down carefully, letting her hand brush his arm as she straightened. "Well, I trust your expertise. As long as I don't get too bulky." She moved toward the bench press, adding an extra sway to her hips. Looking back at him, she smiled. "Though I have to admit, I don't think I'll be able to stop caring about aesthetic results too." "It really is impressive," Andy said sincerely, his eyes meeting hers. "You'd still be hot if you got bulky though. Amazonian." He said with a flex. She laughed. They worked out a few more minutes, then Sarah approached him, dabbing at her neck with a towel. After a moment's hesitation, she started. "Andy; can we talk serious for a sec?" He nodded, giving her his full attention. "Look, I'm just going to be honest," she said. "I'm attracted to you. How could I not be? You've kept us safe, led us through this nightmare;" She gave a small laugh. "Plus, you know, the whole ranger thing really works for you." Andy smiled, and let her continue, anticipating a "but". "But, well, we only met a few days ago, even if it does feel like it's been weeks. And with everything that's happened," She motioned vaguely at the world outside. "I'm not ready to jump into bed yet. I don't even know what a relationship would look like now. I hope you understand." "Of course," Andy said gently. "I'm attracted to you too, Sarah. Very much. But you're right, we're all still processing everything that's happened. There's no rush." Sarah stepped closer, a playful glint returning to her pretty almond eyes. "That said; maybe we could explore things gradually?" She glanced toward the gym shower. "For instance, I'm gonna shower right now. I need someone to wash my back." She gave him a flirtatious smile before biting her lip. "Though I can't promise you won't end up a little; frustrated." Andy's smile widened. "I think I can handle that risk." "Yeah?" Sarah asked, already backing toward the shower, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Yeah," Andy replied, following her lead. They walked together to the shower area, exchanging eager smiles. "Me first," Sarah said playfully, turning her back to him. She slowly peeled off her sports bra, exaggerating her movements and swaying her hips. The compression shorts followed, sliding down her toned legs with deliberate sensuality, revealing a plump and juicy ass. When she turned back, she had one arm draped across her tits and the other hand covering herself below. The lantern light played across her athletic figure; toned, gently muscled stomach, curved hips tapering to strong thighs, and a natural tan line from her usual workout attire. Her skin glowed golden in the dim light, a light sheen of sweat from their workout making her practically shimmer. Seeing Andy's appreciative gaze, she giggled and dropped her arm from her chest. Her cute B-cup tits were perfectly perky, defying gravity even uncovered, with small rosy nipples standing at attention. "Your turn," she said coyly, still covering herself below. Andy laughed and simply pulled off his tank top. "Aww, I give you a show and you just do it like that? No; ceremony?" Grinning, Andy turned and mimicked her earlier performance, slowly working his shorts down with exaggerated movements. When he turned back, he had one hand strategically placed over his junk. They both laughed at the playful awkwardness of the moment before simultaneously revealing themselves fully. "Oh," Sarah said appreciatively, her eyes widening slightly. "Nice; proportions." "Thanks, you too." He said, eyeing her up and down. Sarah laughed and led him into the shower by his arm, both of them very aware of his erect hardness brushing against her waist. She reached for the tap, and sighed luxuriously as the cold stream hit her. "Ahh, that's nice. I always shower cold. It's better for skin and post-workout inflammation." "What about this inflammation?" Andy quipped, making her giggle. They swapped places and as the ice-cold water hit him, Andy tensed slightly, trying not to show it. Sarah noticed anyway. "What kind of ranger isn't used to cold showers?" she teased, reaching for the soap. "Actually, I have the Korean no-B O gene," Andy admitted. "So I usually just skipped showers if there was no hot water." "Gross" Sarah said, as she began soaping herself. "Could you get my back?" she asked innocently, turning around. Andy's hands moved across her shoulders and down her spine. She turned back to face him. "Oh, and I think I missed a spot in front too;" Andy's breath caught as his hands cupped her tits. They were perfectly sized for his palms, simultaneously firm yet yielding, with hard nipples pressing against his fingers as he explored them. Sarah giggled at his expression of sacred reverence. "Are they that nice?" she asked playfully, mewling gently at his touch. "Yes, they are," he breathed. She took the soap and returned the favor, working her way down his back and across his stomach. When she reached his waist, she paused, looking up at him questioningly, her hazel eyes wide and innocent despite her intentions. At his smile, she wrapped her delicate fingers around his shaft, exploring every inch with careful attention. Andy watched as she traced the length with feather-light touches, circled the sensitive head with her thumb, stroked the tender underside, and gently cupped his balls. Her eyes never left his face, studying his reactions to each touch, noting every subtle change in his expression to learn what pleased him most. Turning off the water, she pressed closer, her wet skin sliding against his. "Think you can finish like this?" Her voice was soft but confident. "Yes," Andy managed, already breathing harder from her exploratory touches. She gripped him with both hands now, quickly establishing a rhythm. The soap acted as a perfect lubricant, letting her fingers and palms glide smoothly up and down his shaft. Her technique was precise, one hand working his base while the other focused on his sensitive head, occasionally twisting slightly in a way that made his knees weak. Her gaze was intense as she worked him harder and faster, her eager face showing clear enjoyment of the power she held over him. Water droplets ran down her face and neck, across her perfect tits, making her skin glisten in the dim light. She varied her pressure and speed expertly, reading his reactions and adjusting accordingly. When his hips began to thrust involuntarily, she matched his rhythm, her small hands providing the perfect amount of friction and pressure. Just as he felt his orgasm build, she shifted her approach, her left hand maintaining a steady stroke while her right hand moved lower to gently massage his balls. The change in sensation made him gasp, bringing him back from the edge while introducing a new kind of pleasure. She grinned at his reaction as she rolled and squeezed him gently. "Please, I was getting close" Andy breathed. With a mischievous wink, she resumed jacking him with both hands, drawing another sigh from Andy as he enjoyed the feeling of her soft fingers rubbing his shaft. Andy's breathing grew increasingly ragged as the pressure built. His hands gripped the shower wall for support as Sarah worked him relentlessly toward his peak. She seemed to sense when he was close, her movements becoming more focused and deliberate. Her eyes locked onto his face, eager to watch his expression as he came. When he finally reached his climax, it was intense, thick ropes of warm white cum erupting from his cock, splashing across her toned stomach and thighs. His whole body shuddered with each pulse as she continued to stroke him through his orgasm, maintaining perfect pressure to draw out every last wave of pleasure. She watched in fascination as his seed painted her skin, her expression one of satisfaction and pride at bringing him such intense release. "Wow, that's so hot." Sarah said, looking at the impressive volume. "Someone's been storing that up, huh?" Andy closed his eyes and smiled deeply. "Yeah." he breathed. "Been a while. Thanks." He ran a hand down her shoulder, savoring the feeling of her soft, cold skin, the post-nut clarity heightening his awareness. She examined her cum-covered hands and smirked. "Hey loves!" she chirped in her best content-creator voice. "Today, I'm so excited to share this amazing new product with you!" She winked at Andy. "Make sure to swipe up for the full review!" She delicately touched her finger to her tongue, then assumed a thoughtful expression. "Hmm, nice thick consistency, slightly sweet with just a hint of salt. Ten out of ten would recommend!" She sucked on her finger erotically, then dissolved into giggles at Andy's amused expression. "Don't forget to like and follow for more cum content!" She turned the water back on, laughing as Andy visibly flinched at the cold. "Really, some ranger you are!" The water washed away the evidence of their activities, and they stepped out to dry off. Andy felt wonderfully relaxed, tension draining from his shoulders. "What about you?" he asked softly. "Don't worry about me," Sarah smiled, toweling her hair. "I don't think I could anyway. Too much tension, and;" she paused, "I'd need to feel more emotionally connected." Andy looked puzzled. "Wait, so you're comfortable showering together, giving me a handjob, and even tasting my cum, and we haven't even held hands? Or kissed? Actually," he realized, "we haven't even hugged." Sarah giggled. "Those things are about love and emotional connection," she explained. "And for me, so is sex. This?" she giggled again, mimicking a handjob in the air. "This was just making sure my fearless protector," she emphasized those words with a sultry voice "is thinking with his brain and not his cock!" She gave him a playful grin. "And; tasting a new Korean sauce. If you're really good to me, maybe I'll be trying a new Korean skincare next time." They both laughed. She paused, letting the towel drop. "Although; I wouldn't mind a hug now, if you want." Andy opened his arms and she stepped into them. They held each other, feeling the warmth of skin on skin, this simple embrace feeling somehow far more intimate than what they'd just done. Day 7, Late Night Andy lay in bed, his phone's glow illuminating his face as he scrolled through Beacon. A soft, barely audible knock at his door caught his attention. He opened it to find Crystal standing in the dark hallway. Even in the dim light cast by his phone, her stunning figure was unmistakable. She wore a delicate black lace bra that cupped and lifted her full tits, creating an enticing cleavage. A matching garter belt hugged her narrow waist, leading to sheer stockings that emphasized her long, toned legs. High-cut lace panties completed the ensemble, leaving little to the imagination. The scent of her expensive perfume, a light, floral fragrance, wafted towards him, adding to the intoxicating effect of her presence. "May I come in?" Crystal whispered, her voice barely audible. Andy nodded, stepping aside to let her enter. As she passed, he couldn't help but notice how the lace hugged the curve of her perfect, heart-shaped ass. Crystal closed the door behind her, hesitated for a brief moment, then turned to face him. "I thought I might; fulfill my end of the bargain," she said softly, her posture shifting to emphasize her curves. She took a step closer, her blue eyes locked on his. "I'm here to show my appreciation, in whatever way you'd like." Andy smiled ruefully, taking in her body but thinking about his encounter with Sarah only a few minutes ago. He knew he almost certainly wouldn't be able to get hard so soon. Not wanting to reveal this, he decided to try to play it off, raising a hand to stop her. "Hey, relax, we just got here. You don't have to worry about that right now." He forced his eyes away from her perky tits and up to her eyes. Crystal's demeanor deflated slightly, a mix of surprise, relief and disappointment crossing her face. "Are you sure?" she asked, her voice small. "I; I wanted to be useful to you. I even put on this outfit, just for you, sir." She raised her arms above her head and twirled slowly like a ballerina, showing off her body from all angles. As she rotated, Andy's eyes were drawn to her long, shapely legs. The sheer stockings accentuated every curve, from her delicate ankles to her toned calves and up to her perfectly proportioned thighs. The high-cut panties drew attention to the junction where her legs met her torso, emphasizing the enticing curve of her hips. Her backside was a work of art, two rounded globes, neither too large nor too small, but ideally suited to her frame. The lace of her panties clung to the curves, outlining the heart shape of her ass and hinting at the soft valley between. Unable to help himself, Andy reached out, giving her ass an affectionate squeeze. His hand was met with an enticing balance of firmness and give, soft enough to be incredibly inviting, yet firm enough to maintain its shape, smooth and warm to the touch. Crystal jumped slightly at the contact but quickly tried to play it off, her body instinctively pressing back into his hand for a brief moment before she caught herself. "I appreciate it, truly," Andy said. "But there's no hurry. I'm sure there will be plenty of time for that later." He paused. "If you want to be useful, maybe you could start by making us all coffee in the morning." "I see," Crystal said, turning to face him again. She took a moment to regain her composure, a small smile playing on her lips. "Well, I promise it will be the best coffee you've ever had. The most mind-blowing, hot, tight, wet coffee ever." She winked. Leaning in close, she whispered in his ear, her breath hot against his skin. "If you ever change your mind, you know where to find me." With that, she turned and left the room, the soft click of the door the only sound in the quiet night. Andy sat on the edge of the bed, running a hand through his hair as he processed what had just happened. The image of Crystal in that lingerie was seared into his mind, and he knew it would be a long time before he could forget it. Day 8, Morning The early morning silence in the consulate was profound. Andy woke to sunlight filtering through the curtains, casting long shadows across his room. The building's stillness felt almost reverential, as if the world itself was holding its breath. He rose and headed to the bathroom, splashing cold water on his face and quickly freshening up. The morning routine felt almost normal, a small piece of civilization preserved in their diplomatic sanctuary. Through the window, he could see fog rolling in from the bay, wreathing the silent city in gray. The building's old pipes groaned softly as he washed, the sound echoing through the empty corridors. Andy made his way downstairs to the break room adjacent the kitchen, settling into one of the chairs. Moments later, Crystal appeared carrying a tray with coffee and sugar. She wore loose-fitting silk pajamas that somehow managed to look both casual and elegant, the fabric draping softly over her curves. The absence of a bra was subtle but noticeable, with her perky tits shaking beautifully, and her hard nipples sticking up proudly. "I wasn't sure how you liked your coffee, sir. Unfortunately we don't have milk," she said, putting a soft emphasis on the word "sir" that sent a shiver down his spine. "This is fine, I like it black, thank you," Andy replied, reaching for the cup. "You're going to work on the map of scavenging sites in the area today, right?" "Yes sir. I'll get started on it after my yoga this morning," Crystal responded with a small smile before turning to leave. She paused at the doorway. "Enjoy your coffee, I'll be in my room if you need me." Andy sipped his coffee, appreciating its rich flavor, momentarily distracted by thoughts of Crystal, before returning to scrolling through Beacon on his phone. The posts about San Francisco painted a slowly emerging picture: survivors were gradually congregating at the Presidio, though organization remained loose. Someone had started cataloging available medical supplies across the city's hospitals. Another person was working on getting a solar array functioning at the city hall. A post from the Presidio account caught his attention, they'd designated Land's End as a mass grave site, with plans to begin proper burials soon. Several volunteers with construction equipment were already clearing space. Andy made a mental note, it would be a better option than his original plan of taking the diplomat's body to the sea. He composed a quick message to Mike: "Made it to SF. Secured shelter @ Korean consulate. How's drive north? Your mom?" A few more posts mentioned growing communities forming in Marin and the East Bay, but nothing substantial yet. Most survivors seemed to be following the same instinct, head toward major population centers, look for others, try to rebuild. The Presidio's natural defensive position and former military infrastructure made it an obvious rallying point. Andy finished his coffee, letting the now familiar routine of morning research ground him in this strange new world. The sound of footsteps on the stairs drew his attention. Sarah and Daniela appeared, both looking refreshed despite their slightly sleepy expressions. The consulate's secure walls had clearly provided them their first proper rest in days. "Morning," Sarah said, stifling a yawn. She wore her usual athletic wear, while Daniela was already dressed in camo pants and a t-shirt. "Crystal made coffee, there's some in the kitchen if you want some," Andy offered, gesturing with his empty cup. "Oh god, yes please," Sarah replied, heading for the kitchen. She paused, noticing Daniela's hesitation. "Have you never had coffee?" Daniela shook her head. "Dad said I was too young." "Well, you're basically living adult life now," Sarah said gently. "Might as well try it. Here, I'll make you one." They returned moments later, Sarah handling her cup with ease while Daniela examined hers with suspicion. She took a careful sip and grimaced. "It's; intense," she said diplomatically. Sarah laughed. "Try adding some sugar. Most people don't start with it black." Daniela followed the suggestion, her expression softening as she tasted it again. "Better," she admitted. "I can see why you like it." "Have either of you checked Beacon this morning?" Andy asked. Both shook their heads, so Andy summarized what he'd learned. They listened intently. He watched as a dark expression cast over them both when he brought up the Land's End grave. "Yeah, speaking of which," he added, his tone growing more serious, "we should probably deal with the, ah, body outside. Wrap it properly until we can take it to Land's End." "I'll help," Sarah offered, squaring her shoulders slightly. "I need to get better at handling this kind of thing. Can't be squeamish anymore." Daniela set down her coffee. "I know where the large garbage bags are. They're heavy-duty, should work until we can get something better." Day 8, Midmorning "You sure you don't want to wear something more; practical?" Andy asked, watching Sarah adjust her deep blue Lululemon set in the hallway mirror. "This is practical," she insisted, giving him a little view. The tight sports bra and leggings left little to the imagination, showing off her gentle abs and toned curves. She then covered herself in the North Face jacket he'd selected for her from their scavenged supplies. "Besides, first impressions matter. We want to seem approachable." Andy checked his holstered Glock, making sure it was secure but not too visible under his jacket. "Fine, but at least wear your boots instead of those running shoes." They'd packed their backpacks thoughtfully, bottles of antibiotics carefully wrapped in cloth, and several dozen apples from the fruit stand. "The medicine is what they really need," Andy explained as they prepared to leave, "but I think fresh fruit will mean more to them emotionally. A lot of it in the city will have spoiled by now." "Makes sense," Sarah nodded, shouldering her pack. "A little taste of normal." Andy turned to Daniela, who was studying a building layout. "You good here? Remember, no answering the door-" "Unless it's you guys, I know," she cut him off with a hint of teenage exasperation. "I'll figure out the best spots for the mines and come up with a defense plan." She pointed at a few spots she had already marked on the layout. "I've already found a few spots here." Crystal looked up from where she was marking locations on a large map of San Francisco. "I've marked three promising grocery stores within walking distance," she offered, her braless chest hanging downward as she bent over the map. "I'll have a full scavenging map ready by the evening." "Perfect," Andy said. "We shouldn't be more than a few hours. Mainly just want to get a sense of what's happening at the Presidio, make some connections." He glanced at Sarah. "Ready?" Sarah nodded, and they headed out into the quiet streets of their new city. The morning fog had mostly burned off, revealing a neighborhood frozen in time. Expensive cars sat in driveways, morning newspapers still sat on pristine lawns, and recycling bins waited patiently for a pickup that would never come. The silence was absolute except for the occasional bird call and the whisper of wind through untended gardens. "Look," Sarah pointed, "A Tesla, Model Y. And it's plugged in." Andy marked the location on his phone. "Good catch. That'll be useful later when we're looking for vehicles that don't need gas." They turned onto Jackson Street, where a dark blue Rivian R1T sat parked beneath a row of cherry trees. Andy added its coordinates to their growing list of resources. The houses stood as silent witnesses to the abrupt end of normalcy, gardens still meticulously maintained, windows spotlessly clean, patio furniture arranged for evening cocktails that would never be served. Just eight days ago, this had been one of San Francisco's most exclusive neighborhoods. Now it was a museum piece, preserved in perfect, haunting detail. "It's so weird," Sarah said softly, eyes scanning the immaculate homes around them. "Everything looks exactly like it did before. Like any minute now, people will start coming out to get their mail or walk their dogs." As they walked past another row of silent houses, Sarah glanced at Andy with a playful smile. "Sleep well?" Andy caught her eye and winked. "Very well. Mind's quite clear and focused today, thank you." "Good," she said softly, reaching for his hand and giving it a quick squeeze. "Maybe we can go for round two later today." Their fingers lingered together for a moment before separating, both of them smiling as they continued their walk through the quiet neighborhood. Movement ahead caught their attention, another woman walking alone toward the Presidio. She was in her early thirties, wearing expensive yoga pants and a Patagonia fleece that had seen better days. Her brown hair was pulled back in a messy ponytail, and she kept glancing around nervously as she walked. "Hey," Andy called out softly, not wanting to startle her. She jumped slightly anyway, then relaxed a bit when she saw Sarah. "Oh! Hi," she replied, maintaining a careful distance. Her wedding ring glinted in the morning light, though she was obviously alone. "Would you like an apple?" Andy offered, already reaching into his pack. "We just picked them yesterday." Her eyes lit up. "Really? Fresh fruit?" She stepped closer, accepting the apple with trembling hands. "Thank you. I've been living on protein bars and coconut water from my pantry." She took a bite immediately, closing her eyes briefly at the taste. "I'm Rachel, by the way." "I'm Andy, this is Sarah," Andy replied. "Heading to the Presidio?" Rachel nodded, wiping juice from her chin. "Yeah. I've been holed up in my apartment, but;" She gestured vaguely. "I figured I should see what's happening, maybe find other people. It's getting a little scary being alone. Are you two staying nearby?" "Yeah, we just got into the city," Andy said carefully. "We're a small group, set up at the Korean consulate." He made a mental note, another survivor with no immediately obvious useful skills for their core group. "Oh," Rachel said, seemingly hoping for an invitation that didn't come. "Well, I'm at 2740 Jackson if you; if anyone needs anything. Though I don't have much to offer." "Thanks." said Andy. "Let us know if you need anything as well." "Well, to be honest I could use some food. That's mostly why I'm going to the Presidio." "We don't have a ton to spare right now, but we are planning to go on some scavenging runs soon. We have a truck. If you wanted to join us, we could offer you a split of what we recover." "Oh, that would be great." said Rachel. "Let me get your Beacon handle, let me know when you decide to go." They walked together in silence for a few moments before Rachel spoke again. "Did either of you lose much family?" she asked quietly. "My husband was in New York for meetings when, you know." She twisted her ring absently. "We all lost people," Sarah said gently but firmly, cutting off that line of conversation. Rachel nodded, understanding the boundary. The walk continued in silence. They emerged from the tree line, and the main parade ground of the Presidio opened up before them. What had once been a pristine lawn had transformed into a makeshift settlement of perhaps four or five hundred survivors. Colorful camping tents dotted the grass in loose clusters, many bearing high-end outdoor brand names, testament to San Francisco's wealthy outdoor enthusiast population. Larger military-style tents had been erected at strategic points, including a prominent medical station marked by a red cross fashioned from spray paint. Two nurses in scrubs moved between cots visible through the open flaps. A row of folding tables had been set up near the old barracks, forming an impromptu marketplace. Someone had already established a basic trading post, advertising "batteries, solar chargers, and medicine." Next to it, a woman stood behind a table of sorted electrical equipment, carefully logging exchanges in a notebook. Hand-painted signs stuck in the ground advertised various needs and corresponding Beacon handles: "Needed: Electricians for solar project" "Volunteers wanted, water purification" "Medical Skills? Report to Tent 4" "Engineers needed, power grid planning" The gender disparity was immediately apparent, women outnumbered men significantly, matching the pattern they'd seen elsewhere. A few men in partial military or police uniforms walked the perimeter, rifles slung across their backs. One carried himself with particular authority, speaking into a handheld radio as he made his rounds. A group of women was setting up what looked like a communal kitchen, sorting through boxes of supplies. Nearby, someone had rigged a solar panel to charge phones and laptops, with a small crowd gathered around it. The air smelled of campfire smoke and cooking food, punctuated by the distinctive scent of unwashed bodies and physical labor. "Oh my god," Rachel breathed, taking in the scope of the settlement. "I had no idea there were this many," she noted, eyes wide. Andy studied the scene carefully, noting the mix of organization and chaos. While some basic systems were clearly being established, there was no real sense of central authority yet. Just people with useful skills trying to help where they could, while others waited for direction. A woman with a clipboard approached them, her manner friendly but professional. "Welcome to the Presidio Settlement. Are you here to join us or just checking in?" "The two of us are just checking in," Andy said, gesturing to Sarah. As another volunteer stepped forward to speak with Rachel, he continued, "We arrived in San Francisco yesterday, we've set up in the Korean consulate building. We brought antibiotics and some apples we snagged on the way here, wanted to offer them as a donation." He offered her one of the apples. "Donations are greatly appreciated," the clipboard woman said warmly, accepting the apple. "I'm Alice, by the way." "Are you a volunteer here?" Andy asked. "Yep, been here three days now. We're trying to make a directory of people in the area, if you're okay with me taking down your information?" Sarah glanced at Andy, who nodded. "Sure." "Okay, great." Alice flipped to a fresh page. "Name and age?" "Andy Rhee, 28." She nodded, writing. "We're cataloging useful skills. I'll read through the list, just let me know which apply: Medical training? Engineering? Electrical? Plumbing? Construction? Military experience? Hunting? Navigation? Survival skills? Agriculture? Animal husbandry? Radio operations? Vehicle maintenance? Water treatment? Solar installation?" "I was a park ranger before all this," Andy replied. "So yes to navigation, survival skills, and hunting. Basic first aid training. I'm good with radios too, amateur operator license." Alice made several check marks, nodding appreciatively. "That's actually really useful, we don't have many people with real wilderness experience. A lot of the survivors here worked in tech, myself included." She gestured at the camp. "Lots of programmers, not many who can track game or build shelters." "I'm sure," Andy said dryly. Alice turned to Sarah. "And you?" "I was;" Sarah hesitated, "just a biology student. UCLA, second year. Nothing really useful like Andy." "Hey, don't sell yourself short," Alice said kindly. "Most people here were also doing jobs that don't matter anymore. We're planning to set up training groups, teaching practical skills. Biology could be helpful with agriculture, medicine, lots of things." Sarah simply nodded, looking slightly relieved. "We have two others in our group," Andy added. "Daniela's fourteen, but she has extensive survival, hunting, and military training from her father, he was a Marine, and a; ah; prepper. She can do some vehicle maintenance too I think. And Crystal;" he paused, realizing he didn't know her age. "Well, she'd also need to reskill." Alice's eyebrows rose as she made notes. "A teenager with military training? Interesting." She flipped through her papers. "You should talk to Guillermo Herrera; he was in the Army. He's been trying to organize some basic defense planning for the Presidio. And Diana Wells has been looking for people with hunting experience, trying to put together expeditions to supplement our food supplies." She made a final note. "Do you have a Beacon handle? We're trying to keep a communication network going." Andy gave her his handle, which she copied down carefully. "Well, welcome to the Presidio," Alice said warmly. "We're glad to have people with real survival skills join the community. Even if they're not living here directly," she added with a smile. "Thanks. Oh also, you said 'We're trying to make a directory' earlier. Who is we? Some kind of leadership?" "Nothing formal yet, but there's a group. Mostly people with different types of expertise. I don't know all of them, but Megan Lunn is the one coordinating us. She's great, I trust her a lot." "Great, thanks." As they walked deeper into the settlement, Sarah moved closer to Andy, lowering her voice. "Are you sure it was smart to tell them so much? About where we're staying, our skills, Daniela's training?" Andy considered her question thoughtfully. "Well, here's what I'm thinking. The Presidio is almost certainly going to become the, or at least one of, the centers of power in San Francisco. It's inevitable. The location, the infrastructure, the natural defenses, and it's already starting to get established before anywhere else. If we ever get to a point where we regret having told them our information," He shrugged. "Well, by then we'd already be pretty screwed. We'd probably need to leave the city entirely anyway." "So little downside to being open?" Sarah asked, watching a group of women organizing supplies nearby. "Exactly. I think I'm going to try to talk to Megan and get myself involved early, try to shape how things develop." Andy kept his voice low but confident. "Being cooperative and open now gives us more influence later. If we tried to stay completely separate or, like, secretive, we'd just look suspicious. Then we'd be outsiders trying to affect things from the margins instead of a respected part of the community." Sarah nodded slowly, processing his logic. "If the Presidio is going to be the power here, might as well join it and be a leader within it. I get it." "Yeah. Don't worry," Andy assured her. To be continued.

Andrea Gassner arbeitet grafisch, räumlich und szenografisch und macht Dinge sichtbar, die unter der Oberfläche liegen oder zwischen den Zeilen stehen. Ist es Kunst oder Design, räumliche oder grafische Gestaltung? Jedenfalls eine völlig neue Gestaltungskultur, immer entlang der Inhalte und Kommunikationsanliegen, mit Empathie für das adressierten Publikum. Andrea Gassner und ihr Team hinterfragen und erweitern auf spielerische Weise übliche Wahrnehmungsmuster und Gestaltungsformen. Das Atelier Andrea Gassner reüssierte in kurzer Zeit und überrascht immer wieder mit außergewöhnlichen Lösungen. Holzwerkstoffe werden zum raumgreifenden Origami für eine Ausstellung in einem zentralen japanischen Kunstraum, die Marmorhalle des Wiener Parlaments wird durch eine geniale Unterspannung der Decke in eine Waldlichtung verwandelt, simple Handläufe in einem Schweizer Pflegezentrum bewähren sich als haptische Elemente des Orientierungssystems. Prägende Impulse erfuhr Andrea Gassner in den Ausbildungsjahren in der Schweiz und den Niederlanden, aber auch im grafischen Atelier ihrer Eltern und, noch weiter zurück, in den Kindheitsjahren beim Heranwachsen im sozialen Verbund der Siedlung Ruhwiesen – längst schon eine Architekturikone der Vorarlberger Baukünstlerbewegung. Heute leitet sie erfolgreich ihr eigenes Atelier mit wachsenden, interdisziplinären Netzwerk und internationalen Auftraggebenden. Berufspolitisch engagiert ist sie als Vortragende, Jurorin, Gastdozentin, auch als Österreichische Präsidentin der Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI).

We'd love to have your feedback and ideas for future episodes of Retail Unwrapped. Just text us!Here's a stark warning for beauty executives: Brands that cling to traditional manufacturing models are already obsolete—they just don't know it yet. The challenges facing beauty CMOs are hitting critical mass: It's not just driving growth, it's how to get to market at the speed of culture shifts and keep up digitally and socially. Lauren Thermos is General Manager of Atelier, an Australian product innovation studio dedicated to bringing new products to market faster and better, and a self-described disrupter. Join Lauren and Shelley as they reveal the weak spots of a trendy business where many beauty brands are off trend out of the gate to meet the demands of savvy customers. They discuss the antiquated 18-to-36-month product development cycle, agentic AI (Chat GPT) marketing that shrinks the time between researching and making a decision to buy and will eliminate the need for traditional advertising; and the rise of TikTok as the marketing and product launch platform of choice for young consumers. They also pull back the curtain on why fast-tracked indie creators and celebrity-founded beauty brands are eclipsing many traditional beauty behemoths.

For 15 years, Danielle Kalish worked as a shoe designer at Caleres, an experience that she says sharpened her eye for style and taught her the intricacies of craft and materiality. A creative with a sharp mind for business, Danielle has always harbored a passion for the home, too, and a few years ago made the decision to leave her job in fashion and turn full time to interior design. In this episode of House of Lou, Veronica talks to Danielle about her design practice, Abode by Parklyn Interiors, as well as her charming home decor shop Abode. Between design clients and the retail shop, Danielle’s life is go-go-go, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. With a recent sourcing trip to the U.K., and the opening last month of Atelier, a furniture gallery space located in the DeMun neighborhood, Danielle has recently embarked on a new, exciting facet of the business, one that we’ll hear all about in my interview with her. Those of us who love interior design appreciate all that she brings to the local design scene, including a fresh look at following one’s dreams no matter where they may lead.

Today I'm joined by my brilliant friend, fashion-and-wedding photographer Sandra Åberg, for a real talk we've both been having off-mic for years: does being “published” (Vogue, Harper's, Martha) actually mean you've arrived—or is it another industry illusion that keeps creatives chasing validation? We swap origin stories (Milan fashion sets, Sports Illustrated mayhem, and stumbling into weddings), talk integrity lines, and share the unseen mechanics behind advertorials, vendor lists, and “top” roundups—what's paid, what's earned, and what actually moves the needle in a creative business. We also dig into the soul of the work: why connection with your couples matters more than a logo, and how to protect your creative magic in a content-driven world. If you've ever wondered whether you should pay to play, whether that “Vogue cover” on Instagram was an ad, or how to define success on your own terms—this one's for you. In this episode, we cover: The myth of arrival: Why “as seen in…” is social proof—not a finish line. Paid vs. earned press: Advertorials, vendor lists, and “Top Photographer” roundups—how they really work and what they're good for. Integrity lines: Finding your yes/no around paying for placements, ads, and algorithms. From fashion to weddings: Sandra's Milan years, mentorship, and the moment that shifted her values. When the dream feels empty: Sandra's Vogue Japan cover—and the unexpected loneliness on the other side. What books/awards/followers really signal: The strategy behind best-seller lists and big platforms. Connection over clout: Why knowing (and liking!) your couples changes the images—and the experience. Working with planners: How to keep creative chemistry when gatekeepers run the process. Creator vs. content creator: Guardrails for protecting your artistry in a metrics world. Defining success: Visibility, vulnerability, and being seen for who you are—not what you've published. Part two lands soon: “Be a Creator, Not Just a Content Creator”—plus details on our intimate Italy experience designed to rekindle your artistry (and yes, we'll talk smart, values-aligned pathways to publication). Question for you: Where's your line between integrity and appearances—and what does “playing it brave” look like in your visibility strategy right now? Meet Sandra Sandra Åberg is an internationally acclaimed photographer known for her ethereal style, poetic storytelling, and deeply emotional imagery. With over 15 years of experience, she has photographed for Vogue, captured celebrity weddings, and built a reputation as one of Europe's leading names in luxury destination wedding photography. Founder of both Atelier Åberg and her namesake brand, Sandra is not only a visual artist but also an educator and mentor, inspiring photographers and creatives worldwide to dream big and build a life they love.

Photographer and paranormal researcher Shannon Taggart joins JF and Phil to explore the phenomenon that was Michael Jackson. One of the most brilliant and successful musicians of the modern era, Jackson was also a liminal figure sans pareil, a shapeshifter who defied the binary categories through which we order the human world. His art and persona together enacted a transformation that can only be called shamanic. About Our Guest: Shannon Taggart is a photographer and author based in St. Paul, Minnesota. Her photographs have appeared in Newsweek, The New York Times Magazine, and The Wall Street Journal, and have been recognized by Magnum, Nikon, and the Alexia Foundation. Her monograph Séance was first published by Fulgur Press (2019) and reissued in a second edition by Atelier Éditions. Shannon is currently developing an illustrated history of SORRAT (the Society for Research on Rapport and Telekinesis) and hosts an annual symposium on the weird and the paranormal in Lily Dale, New York.
