Jako egyptský mytologický pták Benu či bájný pták Fénix. Pařížská Notre-Dame povstala z popela ve své skvělosti, mnohem zářivější a dokonalejší, než bývala před pěti lety. 7. prosince se znovu rozezněl třináctitunový zvon Emmanuel na znamení pařížskému arcibiskupovi, aby rituálním žalmem 121 a třemi údery biskupské berly požádal katedrálu o otevření svých dveří. Byl to podle Francouzů ten nejsilnější moment povznášející duši a naplňující srdce národní hrdostí a emocemi.

Tagsüber kümmert sich Juno um ihren schwerkranken Mann und versucht gleichzeitig, als Performancekünstlerin Fuß zu fassen. Nachts kann sie nicht schlafen und chattet mit fremden Männern. Dass die wahrscheinlich sogenannte Lovescammer sind und sich damit Geld erschleichen wollen, ist ihr klar. Einen enttarnt sie: Benu. Doch statt den Chat zu blockieren, schreiben beide immer weiter. Wohin soll das führen? Inka Löwendorf macht die Vielschichtigkeit von Martina Hefters mit dem Deutschen Buchpreis ausgezeichneten Roman hörbar: Ironie, Enttäuschung, vage Hoffnungen klingen ebenso mit wie die Sehnsucht nach Freundschaft – eine fabelhafte Umsetzung.

A recent scientific paper characterizes the 123 grams of the regolith or surface material from the asteroid Bennu which NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft brought back to Earth after a successful 7 year sample and return mission.Determining the chemical composition of asteroids like Bennu is essential to planning asteroid mining missions as well how to best mitigate the damage which would result from the impact of a large asteroid with our number on it.

"Hey guten Morgen, wie geht es dir?" ist eine Floskel, mit der wir vielleicht Kollegen im Büro begrüßen, den Partner oder die Partnerin zuhause, Freunde - oder aber auch Internetbekanntschaften. Die Künstlerin Juno zum Beispiel chattet auf diese Weise mit unbekannten Männern, vor allem mit Benu, der wie sie selbst nicht ehrlich ist. Beide sind Protagonisten des neuen gleichnamigen Romans von Martina Hefter. Gerrit Bartels hat ihn schon gelesen.

Have you ever felt like you and your partner are living in different realities when it comes to your relationship?    In this episode of the Wellness Revolution podcast, I chat with Benu Lahiry, a couples therapist and founder of the digital therapy platform Ours. We discuss the important fact that you don't have to be in a bad place to benefit from couples therapy. Just like going to the doctor for a wellness checkup, attending therapy sessions can help you and your partner grow together, understand each other better, and prevent future ruptures in your relationship.   Benu shares her insights on navigating difficult conversations, cultivating presence, and the importance of being open to your partner's perspective. Together we discuss how Ours is making couples therapy more accessible and convenient through their virtual platform and personalized matching process.    Benu Lahiry, LMFT is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Washington and in California, specializing in Individual and Couples Counseling. Her work is especially helpful for people functioning at a high level already but who are experiencing anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and lack of motivation.    Thank you to our sponsors: Cured Nutrition: Use code AMBER to get 15% off at https://www.curednutrition.com  HigherDose: Use code AMBER15 to get 15% off at https://higherdose.com  Find more from Benu Lahiry: Website: https://benulahiry.com/ https://www.withours.com/n  Instagram: @ours.wellness   Find more from Amber: Instagram: @msambershaw TikTok: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com    Find more on the Interest List for ReNewU:  https://products.ambershaw.com/signature-waitlist   What We Discuss: 02:54 The Importance of Relationship Therapy and Access to Therapy 06:02 Challenges in Finding the Right Couples Therapist 10:57 Understanding and Empathizing with a Partner's Perspective 27:01 The Benefits of Couples Therapy 29:18 Resistance to Therapy and Virtual Platforms 30:14 Integrating Therapy and Coaching 36:17 The Power of Presence in Relationships 39:02 Self-Awareness and Self-Growth 44:48 Preventive Therapy: Investing in Relationship Health Key Takeaways: Access to relationship therapy is crucial, especially during critical moments in a relationship. Finding the right therapist for couples can be challenging and time-consuming. Understanding and empathizing with a partner's perspective is essential for healthy communication. Open communication and vulnerability are key to resolving conflicts in relationships. Couples therapy can be beneficial for all couples, not just those in crisis. Virtual platforms like Ours make therapy more accessible and convenient. There is a need for integration between therapy and coaching. Presence and self-awareness are important in maintaining healthy relationships. Therapy should be seen as a preventive measure rather than a last resort.  

Markus sitzt in einem Café der sympathischen Hanna Weller gegenüber. Sie hat den Fantasy-Roman geschrieben, "Of Ash and Fire, Rise of the Phoenix". Die Idee für die Geschichte von Ava kam 2022 während eines Schreibwettbewerbs. Die Auswahl der Fabelwesen wie dem Phönix, dem Benu und dem Feng Wang wurde durch intensive Recherchen und Begeisterung für diese Wesen bestimmt. Die Entscheidung, die Geschichte in Frankfurt spielen zu lassen, basierte auf dem Wunsch nach einem Großstadtflair und der Dualität der Stadt mit ihrer kühlen Logik und mystischen Atmosphäre. Das Antiquitätengeschäft im Buch spiegelt die Vorliebe der Autorin für die Geschichte und die Geschichten hinter den Gegenständen wider. Die Schaffung einer magischen Atmosphäre in Frankfurt durch die Verbindung von Banken und alten Fachwerkhäusern war ein bewusster kreativer Entscheidungsprozess. Die Charaktere und Handlungen der Geschichte wurden logisch entwickelt, um den Leser in die faszinierende Welt eintauchen zu lassen. Die Autorin spricht über ihre Schreibgewohnheiten, inspiriert von Beobachtungen im Alltag und ihrer eigenen Fantasie. Sie betont ihre Abneigung gegen ausschweifende erotische Szenen in Fantasy-Romanen und die Bedeutung einer durchdachten Handlung. Die Geschichte bietet eine warme und besondere Atmosphäre, die den Leser fesselt und das Potenzial für eine Fortsetzung offen lässt. Trotz ihres vollen Terminkalenders als Werbetexterin, Laienschauspielerin und Autorin findet die Interviewpartnerin Zeit für ihre Leidenschaften. Sie ermutigt die Menschen, so viel wie möglich zu lesen und sich in Geschichten und Fantasiewelten zu verlieren. Die Bedeutung gut geschriebener Fantasy-Romane als Quelle der Freude und Entspannung wird hervorgehoben, während sie die Leser dazu ermutigt, neue Bücher zu entdecken und zu genießen.

https://goldspot.com/products/benu-euphoria-fountain-pen-in-winnie-the-pooh?aff=3 In this episode, I discuss burnout and how it applies to the fountain pen hobby if at all. I personally think burnout can happen to anyone in any walk of life. But do we want it to happen in our already niche hobby? What is it? How do we deal with it? Should we deal with it? Lets discuss it. BENU introduces the Winnie-the-Pooh fountain pen, inspired by the endearing teddy bear created by English author, A.A. Milne, and English illustrator, E.H. Shepard. The pen is produced in a positive shade of turquoise-blue and showcases the famous hand-painted yellow bear as it first appeared in Milne's original Winnie-the-Pooh book in 1926. Aiming to delight anyone fond of this cheerful character from childhood.  The pen is set to launch in US retail on June 15, 2024. MSRP: $280

This piece is crafted using a combination of dramatic black and traditional jack-o'-lantern colors to truly set the mood. And in true BENU style, it comes complemented with a dash of fire-like sparkles. Produced as a limited edition with just 500 pens worldwide, each pen is supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity confirming its serial number, signed by BENU's owners.   The Benu Hallowed Harvest will be available at all Benu pen dealers (including Goldspot) later in October.

A three-star Michelin chef has opened a burger joint in San Diego. It's called Tanner's Prime Burgers. Exclamation point. Another one. Some hyperactive emoji. Pass the fries. The chef is Brandon Rodgers, who cut his teeth in San Diego years ago. He originally moved here to work with Tony DiSalvo, a nationally known chef who was heading up the former Jack's in La Jolla. Rodgers then joined Gavin Kaysen at El Bizcocho (now Avant). He cooked on Iron Chef with Kaysen, and their team defeated Michael Symon in “Battle Octopus.” Rodgers then went to Napa, where he spent a year at the French Laundry and met fellow chef Corey Lee. He helped Lee open Benu, and the restaurant would get three Michelin stars with Rodgers as chef de cuisine. Brandt Beef is the force behind this exclamation point. The family owned beef company in San Diego, with their headquarters above Ranch 45 in Solana Beach (their ranch is two hours east in Brawley). They're pretty renowned in chef circles because of the ethos—a multigenerational family operation, treat their animals right, no drugs, no antibiotics, single-source beef, no B.S. Just a highly respected, small-ish operation in an industry that's dominated by four major multinational beef companies. Tanner's is named after Eric Brandt's son. So this week on HHH, David and I sit down with Brandon and Eric and hear the story. And we crush a burger made with New School American Cheese (you can hear about this project in last week's episode with chef Eric Greenspan), some beef tallow fries (the best kind), an ice cream sandwich made with beef tallow and Brandon's wife's cookies. It is a phenomenal burger. And Rodgers, Brandt, and Greenspan will be serving that burger, plus another specialty of Eric's at the Del Mar Wine + Food Festival this weekend.

Tom and I catch up on everything going on in the last couple of weeks, including the DC Fountain Pen Supershow. Tom went on Friday and shared his experience at the show. We also talk about identity theft and a pen that Tom annoyingly cannot talk about.    We'd love to read your comments and answer your pen (and fish) questions on a future episode.

The all BENU Cat's Eye, Tiger's Eye, and Hawk's Eye Talisman! Each unique fountain pen is dedicated to a popular quartz crystal renowned for its distinctive, natural phenomenon called "chatoyancy". These minerals, highly sought-after for their optical illusions, have been surrounded by myths and legends for centuries. BENU, therefore, considered the stones a perfect fit for the talisman collection! Each pen is crafted in the corresponding mineral's color with BENU's signature splash of sparkles and comes complete with a leaflet sharing the background story.    BENU is thrilled to introduce these new designs, showcasing the mesmerizing beauty and symbolism of these remarkable stones!

In this week's episode, Tom and I discuss when things go horribly wrong. When you require warranty service, will your pen be covered?

What does authenticity mean to you? In this episode, I open with my tendency to speak my mind without sugarcoating it. Sugar is bad for you. So not Keto-friendly. Tom and I discuss the fallout and drama that resulted from the opinions I shared last episode regarding the NY Metropolitan Pen Show. Were my opinions and perspective of the show too harsh? Were my words and criticisms "dishonest" and "misrepresenting"? Did you attend the NY Metropolitan Pen Show? What was your take on the show? If there's one thing we ask you to take away from this episode, it's to never drink fountain pen ink. In collaboration with Benu, Luxury Brands of America, and Goldspot Pens, I'm proud to present my latest brain nugget, the Benu Skull, and Roses "Gamma Green" fountain pen. Don't worry, the pen isn't actually radioactive. It does radiate awesomeness, though.

Om het met de woorden van onze patroonheilige Peter R. de Vries te stellen: als iets één keer gebeurt, is dat een incident. Als het in korte tijd twee keer plaatsvindt, is dat heel toevallig.

Episode 63 - A Leader's Hierarchy of NeedsThis groundbreaking new behavioral model, patterned after Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, highlights the importance of such unique character traits as 'doing what you say you're going to do' and 'responding in a timely way.'  Okay, so maybe it's not that groundbreaking; and maybe those aren't (or shouldn't be) unique character traits!  But this behavioral model IS simple and practical.  And isn't 'simple and practical' perfectly-suited for men looking for tools to restore their manhood?Chad leads the ascent toward actualized achievement in this climbing expedition of an episode, while his co-host, Benu, harnesses his left-brain drive and clings to the crags in the concept.  The two explore the heights of this idea as well as its variety of life applications.  What are some of the simplest, yet most profound things a man can do to attain his highest aspirations?  How can a concept that's designed for leadership in a business setting also work for relationships and faith?  And why is it that some of the easiest concepts to understand are sometimes the hardest to implement?   SHOW NOTES:Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: Maslow's hierarchy of needs - WikipediaBen's Doppelganger:  Manu Ginobili - How Many Rings - Championship RingsSee Leader's Hierarchy of Needs visual: (2) Manhood Restored | Facebook

To give you an idea of the celestial traffic in our neighborhood, on a recent clear night, using our 60 inch telescope on Mt. Lemmon, Arizona, my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Hannes Groller posted 20 new objects on the Minor Planet Center's Near Earth Object Confirmation Page. In the future five of these asteroids may become a valuable source of raw materials for Martian colonists.

Chef Charlie Mitchell is enjoying his first turn in the public spotlight, and the ripple effects of earning his first Michelin star, at Clover Hill in Brooklyn Heights, NY--a restaurant that Andrew recently lauded on the pod. On today's episode, Charlie discusses his young life and career to date, including stints at San Francisco's Benu, and Betony, One White Street, and Eleven Madison Park in New York City. He and Andrew also kick around some topics that are on the minds of industry professionals as 2022 draws to a close. 

This week's episode is a bit messy. Tom and I recap how we spent Fountain Pen Day and what we spent (or did not spend) on pens that day. We discuss how Benu is one of the most innovative pen companies in the world for making the new Skulls & Roses pens. I share a hilarious story from my childhood that takes a dark turn. Plus, we answer a couple of e-mails (pentertainmentpodcast@gmail.com if you want to ask us anything to be answered in a future episode).

For all the grief we gave Platinum over the original Curidas retractable fountain pen - it's now the pen that I wish I hadn't lost. It served me so well during my studying and I could always depend on it to quickly jot down notes wherever, whenever. It almost seems like Platinum took all of our criticisms about the first version and made a much better, retractable fountain pen. You're welcome, world. Get curious about the Curidas. It's a retractable fountain pen that won't dry out for 6 months and you can remove the clip, which is something that many people wish a Vanishing Point could do but doesn't. With a retail price under $100, it's also more affordable than a VP. You can try one out at Goldspot (remember: use the affiliate link & the coupon code!) or another Platinum Pen retailer of choice. Each pen is individually numbered and is limited to 50 pieces worldwide, these will go fast so don't wait!

Tom gives us a peek at what pens are laying around on his desk at the Goldspot office. I attempt to fix a Nar-whatever Peter Draws pen with a TWSBI wrench and only make the problem worse.

Michal is a self-taught Urushi-lacquer artist who makes a living selling Urushi fountain pens through Instagram and his tamenuri.com website.

In this episode, we catch up with answering your burning questions about fountain pens. The first one stirs the pot regarding the TWSBI/Narwhal drama. Tom shares whether or not he lets his kids use his fanciest pens. We discuss the group mentality behind what makes a valuable "status" pen. We lament over the disappearance of the Waterman Phileas. Plus, you may learn a new trick to see how many ways you can thread a screw cap. Write to us at pentertainmentpodcast@gmail.com   This week is a 2-for-1 sponsorship collaboration. My buddies at Luxury Brands of America and Goldspot Pens collaborated with Benu to introduce the new Talisman Shooting Star fountain pen. If you love a sparkly pen, your wish has been granted. The Shooting Star shines with shimmery blue resin mixed with floating holographic stars. The ends of the cap and barrel are made from luminous turquoise that glows in the dark after being charged in bright light. This limited edition of 300 pens is now available exclusively at Goldspot Pens. Please use my affiliate link below to help support the podcast. https://goldspot.com/products/benu-talisman-fountain-pen-in-shooting-star&aff=3 As we discussed in a previous episode of the Podcast, Benu had moved from Russia to Armenia in protest of the Russian war in Ukraine. As the Shooting Star is the first special edition pen to ship from Armenia, LBA and Goldspot will donate 10% of the proceeds toward the International Rescue Committee (rescue.org). The IRC is sending vital supplies to over 5 million displaced Ukrainians.   Quick shout out to HeyJoo on Instagram, who we mentioned in this week's episode - https://instagram.com/heyjoo_stationery

Content Warning: Tom and I discuss the recent announcement by Luxury Brands of America that Benu is moving their staff and pen manufacturing operations from Russia to Armenia. We also discuss improvements made to the retractable Platinum Curidas fountain pen, studying with blue light glasses, popping cans of seltzer, Socrates' fish funeral, and the strategy behind spoiler-free, limited-edition pen releases.
