Die Studienräte haben am langen Pfingstwochenende mal wieder so einiges unternommen. Während Peeler in Holland war und sich in De Efteling vergnügte, besuchte LXbatz Hamburg, wo er zwar nicht dem Bismarck, aber im Hagenbeck Aquarium den Heringen sehr nahe kommen durfte. Ferner war Fussleiste 2001 im ballerigen Kino und durchaus angetan vom neuen Mission Impossible Film, während der Pielerator sich auf einer Fortbildung zum Zweitzeugen ausbilden ließ und weiterhin noch lässt. Worum es dabei geht, erfahrt ihr hier: https://zweitzeugen.de/ American Peelers Schüler haben auf jeden Fall gute Iden...äh...pardon...Ideen und LX - Verstehse? singt euch am Ende mal wieder ein Lied. Was es mit den komischen Namen auf sich hat, erfahrt ihr übrigens in der mündlichen Prüfung, in der es um Pseudonyme geht.

Bismarck built an empire. His Emperor destroyed it. The German Empire's swift rise to world power status frightened Europe and threatened the balance of power. So Bismark convinced Germany's neighbors and other world powers that while Germany was prosperous and powerful, it was peaceful. Wilhelm II, however, flexed his empire's muscles, frightened his neighbors and insulted other world leaders. The brief history of the German Empire hold lessons for the United Sates (the incumbent superpower) and China (the rising world power). In this interview, we discuss the following:►The term Reich - First Reich, Second Reich and Third Reich. And why this term is no longer used in Germany. ►The year of three emperors ►The term 48ers (not to be confused with the 49ers)►Bismarck: a giant statesman of European history►Wilhelm II: the man who destroyed what Bismarck had meticulously built ►In the 19th century, did Germans call themselves German? ►Why did Bismarck say to build a German state, you need blood and iron? ►How German wars led to the creation of the German Empire? ►Why was the German Empire founded in Paris, and not in Germany? ►How did Darwinism figure into the history of the German Empire? ►How did Wilhelm II make enemies for the German Empire? ►How did Wilhelm II interact with the media?

Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman, marking my 103rd episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging thousands of VHS transfers and digital recordings. First, we finally found an apartment and have begun the endless process of settling in and making it our own, furnishing it and transferring our stuff from a storage unit in Bismarck to our new home in Utah. I also took in a book chat with author and fellow podcaster Kemper Donovan of "All About Agatha" promoting the second installment in his ghostwriter mystery series, reviewed in "Ep. 99: Getting Up to Speed" around the 20-minute mark. This set covers discs 1851 to 1875 in my Classic Collection. For my Fuzzy Feature, from Disc 1873, comments on the pilot episode of AMC production "Rubicon," along with my 13th ever "VideoFuzzy the Video" posted here: https://youtu.be/j0quoW7veBo Light set of Cross Connections for this set which tracked James Badge Dale, Mary Lynn Rasjkub, Stephen Root, Iqbal Theba, Rich Sommer, Michael Badalucco, Laura San Giacomo, Jim Beaver, Amber Benson, Sterling K. Brown, Linda Blair, Devon Gummersall and Matt Keeslar. Also highlighted Golden Thread Michael McKeon and Golden Prime Stephen Tobolowsky's appearance in "Radioland Murders" alongside Brian Benben, Mary Stuart Masterson, George Burns, Ned Beatty, Christopher Lloyd, Anita Morris, Corbin Berntson, Bobcat Goldthwait and Larry Miller. In my Classic Collection, comments on the fifth-season "Doctor Who" episode "Amy's Choice" featuring The Dream Lord. Also, Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn and Marty Feldman in "The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother," "Radioland Murders," "100 Questions," "Saving Grace," "Drop Dead Diva" and "Persons Unknown." In Video Outreach, I broke into my 10th binder with this set, so I took some time to look back at what turned up in binder no. 9, including President Obama's first term, passage of the Affordable Care Act, and ... I put a few notes together on my long overdue discussion of "Flashforward." Under Book Report, I talk about some of the books I read on my trip to D.C. for Kemper's book tour, including Lucy Foley's "The Guest List." Also, an anthology of short mysteries by contemporary authors detailing new adventures of beloved Agatha Christie creation Miss Marple titled, simply "Agatha Christie's Marple." And on my stop through Chicago I found a fun independent bookshop called "Bookends and Beginnings," and a speculative think-piece called "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig -- fun!  In What I've Been Watching, I'm still waiting on our stuff to get here, because it will include my VHS-to-DVD dubbers and maybe let me address some issues I've had with my archiving and cataloging efforts. The trip and the move have already delayed my commentary on the second season of "Doctor Who," but I discussed second-season episode "The Story and the Engine" which I found to be confusing. Also, comments on four "My Hero Academia" movie releases, which I watched with Ralph ahead of our move. SPREADING THE WORD!

Populism has taken the reins of the Republican Party and that is a good thing. Decorated military veteran and content machine, Troy Carico, joins the podcast this week to discuss the forthcoming Pax Americana under Emperor Donald John Trump. Drawing from his 22 years of military service and intelligence expertise, Carico champions Trump's unapologetic embrace of realpolitik—a pragmatic, power-driven approach to international relations rooted in the strategies of Machiavelli, Bismarck, and Kissinger. He argues that Trump's America-first bravado has reshaped the global stage, prioritizing national interests through bold diplomacy and military might, rejecting globalist ideals, and emphasizing strength over appeasement in a world of competing powers. While acknowledging criticisms of Trump's approach as isolationist, Carico defends it as a necessary retrenchment, leveraging America's economic and military dominance to secure prosperity and cultural ascendancy. He envisions a “nouveau Pax Americana,” where the U.S. stands as a fearless colossus, balancing fear and respect as Machiavelli advised. Carico's fervent call to action urges patriots to embrace this era of American supremacy, celebrating a leader who wields realpolitik with conviction. His insights offer a provocative perspective on Trump's legacy and America's role in a turbulent world, making this episode a must-listen for those intrigued by geopolitics and national pride.

When Reverend I.O. Sloan set foot in Bismarck in 1873, it was a “wild and wooly” Western town. Bismarck had a few new wood-framed buildings, but it was teeming with “tents and gamblers,” and loud profanity prevailed. “Pandemonium seemed to reign” in saloons and gambling places that were open 24 hours a day.

19 lipca 1870 roku cesarz Napoleon III, sprowokowany opublikowaną w gazecie treścią depeszy wysłanej przez Wilhelma I do Bismarcka, wypowiada Prusom wojnę. Dlaczego ta wiadomość wywołała tak wielkie oburzenie Paryża? W najnowszym odcinku Misji specjalnej RMF FM odsłaniamy kulisy wybuchu wojny francusko-pruskiej.

Can fish oil really transform your health? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Charles Sefcik, a board-certified chiropractic neurologist and certified clinical nutritionist, to explore one of the most powerful and underrated tools in functional medicine: omega-3s. We break down how EPA and DHA support your brain, hormones, metabolism, and inflammation pathways—and why most people aren't getting nearly enough from food alone. We also share what to look for in a quality fish oil supplement, how to avoid common pitfalls like oxidation and poor sourcing, and why testing your fatty acid levels can make all the difference. Packed with clinical insight and real-world advice, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone looking to use nutrition as a foundation for long-term health Key Takeaways: Omega-3 fatty acids are critical for cell membrane fluidity, reducing inflammation, and enhancing cognitive function. Fish oil quality matters; choose supplements devoid of contaminants like mercury and PCBs and go for third-party certified products. Omega-3s have a profound impact on reducing neuroinflammation and supporting hormone function, influencing overall brain health and longevity. Regular testing, like the OmegaQuant, can provide valuable insights into your fatty acid balance, guiding effective supplementation and dietary adjustments. Combining omega-3 supplements with a healthy diet and lifestyle can prevent chronic diseases, promote muscle synthesis, and ensure optimum brain health.   More About Dr. Charles Sefcik: Dr. Charles Sefcik is a board certified chiropractic neurologist, certified clinical nutritionist, founder and clinical director of the Life Enhancement Clinic in Bismarck, ND.

Robert Francis Prevost, de Amerikaan die een groot deel van zijn leven in Peru werkte, verraste als nieuwe paus meteen. Vooral ook met zijn nieuwe naam. Die was een heel bewuste, ideologische keuze, onderstreepte hij zelf. De erfenis van zijn voorganger Leo XIII is voor Leo XIV van grote betekenis in tijden van geopolitieke omwenteling; technologische en industriële revolutie en hun impact op de samenleving.Om deze nieuwe paus en zijn visie op de wereld te doorgronden moet je dus Leo XIII leren kennen. Zijn levensverhaal is fascinerend, maar zijn betekenis als ideologisch denker en politiek dier is pas echt van historische allure. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger vertellen over Gioacchino Pecci, edelman uit Siena, geboren in 1810. De oudste mens ooit op film (hier en hier) en als zanger in een audio-opname.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***De scholier Gioacchino bleek net als zijn oudere broer Giuseppe razend slim en leergierig. Hij groeide op onder Napoleon en beleefde nationale revoltes, de komst van de democratie, mobiliteit en massamedia, industrie en arbeidersbeweging, stoomschepen, treinen, telegraaf, technologie en wetenschap in een razend tempo. Heel zijn lange leven was hij gretig en nieuwsgierig en opende de geesten van tijdgenoten voor nieuwe ideeën en overtuigingen.Met 27 al was hij een dapper bestuurder die de Camorra bij Napels hard aanpakte, op zijn 33ste topdiplomaat in Brussel en de CEO van het Vaticaan voor een spijkerhard-conservatieve paus die best snapte dat hij zo'n talent niet kon negeren. 1878 werd hij zelf 'opvolger van Petrus'. En bleek als Leo XIII een wervelwind.Politiek moest hij meteen knokken met de briljante Duitse rijkskanselier Otto von Bismarck. En won. Hij maande katholiek Frankrijk vrede te sluiten met een seculiere liberale staat om polarisatie of erger te vermijden. Hij publiceerde reeksen politieke en spirituele boodschappen en verblufte met een openlijke verzoening van wetenschap en geloof. Leo XIII ontving in audiëntie zelfs sciencefiction-romancier Jules Verne!Faam verwierf hij met de encycliek 'Rerum Novarum', oftewel ‘Over de nieuwe dingen'. Het was een doorwrochte ideologische en filosofische afrekening met het reactionaire denken van zijn voorgangers sinds de Franse Revolutie in 1789. Hij sleurde de rooms-katholieke kerk de werkelijkheid van de industriële, geglobaliseerde wereld in.Met de nodige lef analyseerde hij hoe het kapitalistische liberaal-economisch denken en het socialistische denken en zijn collectivisme de kern van de samenleving en de menselijke waardigheid niet goed begrepen. Beiden maakten de mens een slaaf van materialisme en van de anonieme machten van markt en staat.Zijn alternatieve filosofie ging uit van politieke begrippen die wij ook nu nog als actueel en modern herkennen. Van subsidiariteit, rechten van werknemers en werkgevers en 'polderen' tot 'civil society', vrijheid van vereniging en het 'bonum commune'.In de jaren na 1880 drong dit ook buiten het katholieke milieu door. In Nederland bijvoorbeeld bij mensen als de antirevolutionair Abraham Kuyper en de sociaal-liberaal Sam van Houten met hun nadruk op 'de sociale kwestie'.In zijn strijd met Bismarck zorgde Leo XIII ervoor dat de Duitse katholieken de Duitse staat accepteerden en dat zij zich konden verenigen. De 'Zentrumspartei' werd het politiek thuis voor mensen als Konrad Adenauer en fuseerde na 1945 met protestantse groeperingen in de CDU. De sociale markteconomie en de Europese verzoeningsgedachte stammen direct uit de ideologische filosofie in Rerum Novarum.De nieuwe paus Leo XIV bouwt daar expliciet op voort. Hij spreekt van ‘de schatkist van de sociale leer' van Leo XIII voor de 21e eeuw. Juist in ‘deze andere industriële revolutie en de ontwikkelingen in het terrein van artificiële intelligentie' biedt Leo XIII actuele antwoorden voor ‘de verdediging van menselijke waardigheid, gerechtigheid en het werk van mensen'. Het zou dus logisch zijn als de nieuwe paus in 2026 op de 135ste verjaardag van Rerum Novarum dat denken met een eigen 'AI encycliek' een nieuwe impuls geeft.Habemus Papam!***In deze aflevering noemden we de boeken:Jürgen Osterhammel – De metamorfose van de wereld (Atlas Contact)Giuliano da Empoli – Het uur van de wolven (Atlas Contact)***Verder luisteren451 - 75 jaar Duitse Democratie403 - Sam van Houten, een eeuw lang verrassend dwars373 - Nederland en België: de scheiding die niemand wilde339 – De geopolitiek van de 19e eeuw is terug.

What would you do if a blond, middle-aged stranger kept appearing at the end of your bed— night after night—yet vanished the instant you blinked? When Dianne, her sister, and brother-in-law moved into a 1960s fixer-upper in Bismarck, North Dakota, they expected broken pipes and peeling paint, not a full-time resident named Allen. From nose-to-nose encounters in the dark to a wildly misbehaving thermostat, Allen made his presence known with alarming consistency, and ultimately learned to live in peace with the lingering spirit who still watches over their tree-lined home.

Den 3 juli 1866 drabbade närmare 500 000 man trupper ur den preussiska armén samman med den österrikiska armén vid Köningsgrätz i nuvarande Tjeckien. Slaget var det största i Europa mellan Napoleonkrigen och första världskriget.Den preussiska 7.infanteridivisionen och 1.gardesinfanteridivisionen anföll och i princip krossade fyra österrikiska kårer i skogarna kring Shiepwald och Chlum. Det österrikiska nederlaget ledde direkt till fred och innebar att Preussen kunde bilda ett Nordtyskt förbund och ta ett stort steg mot ett enat Tyskland under Preussen.I detta avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden samtalar Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved om ett av den europeiska militärhistoriens mindre kända, men betydelsefulla krig.1864 hade Danmark besegrats genom en gemensam preussisk-österrikisk krigsinsats. Motsättningar om hur de nya områden Slesvig och Holstein skulle styras tillsammans med den grundläggande konkurrensen mellan de båda maktcentrumen i Berlin och Wien utmynnade i en direkt konflikt 1866. De nordtyska staterna anslöt på den preussiska sidan och de sydtyska staterna gjorde gemensam sak med Österrike.Den preussiska framgången berodde på den reformerade preussiska arméns slagkraft som ett resultat av skicklig ledning, taktiskt välövade trupper och nya beväpning. Den preussiska generalstabens chef Helmuth von Moltke hade inspirerad av militärteoretikern Clausewitz teori om kriget och infört nya principer för hur krigföringen skulle ledas. Fyra preussiska arméer rörde sig snabbt med järnväg mot den österrikiska huvudarmén. Österrikarna var på papperet numerärt överlägsna, men tvingades avdela en armé för att försvara sig mot ett italienskt anfall från söder. Den mångkulturella österrikiska arméns olika avdelningar var visserligen att betrakta som en yrkesarmé, men hade mycket varierande stridsvärde. Vid Königgrätz koncentrerade preussarna tre arméer och fångade den österrikiska huvudarmén under den uppgivne och passive befälhavaren Benedek.Preussarna hade underlägset artilleri, men ett nytt bakladdat tändnålsgevär som medgav en snabbare eldgivning än de äldre mynningsladdade österrikiska musköterna. De österrikiska kolonnanfallen i täta formeringar i rent napoleansk stil krossades av den intensiva preussiska eldgivningen. Trots att den österrikiska armén hann retirera i relativt god ordning valde kejsare Frans Josef att gå med på en fredsuppgörelse. Den preussiska rikskanslern Otto von Bismarck valde att så snabbt som möjligt få en fredsuppgörelse till stånd. Hans mål var inte att krossa eller förödmjuka Österrike och dess habsburgske kejsare. Han vill få fria händer att bilda ett nordtyskt förbund under ledning av Preussen. Nästa steg i enandet av Tyskland kom några år senare i samband med det Fransk-tyska kriget 1870-71. Lyssna också på Dansk-tyska kriget år 1864 – en dansk katastrof samt Fransk-tyska kriget år 1870-71 – krig som politiskt medel.Bild: Den preussiske kejsaren Wilhelm I, Bismarck och general Moltke observerar det största inringningsslaget i krigshistorien: Den 3 juli 1866 stod omkring 180 000 österrikare och 200 000 preussare mot varandra. Den preussiska arméns seger öppnade vägen för ett enande av imperiet under preussiskt ledarskap - utan Österrike.

When we think of politics, I think a lot of us feel intimidated or like there isn't room for us in the process–we're not “political,” or we don't have time, or we're not the right kind of person. Today's guest shows that being an unlikely politician may actually be the best thing, and why we need more real people in politics (yes, that means you!) About Erin: Erin Oban is a lifelong North Dakotan and proud, Class B kid, raised in a farm family in Ray, ND. Her professional career has included experience as a middle school math teacher, in nonprofit management and educational leadership, and in politics and public service. In 2014 and again in 2018, Erin was elected to represent central Bismarck's District 35 in the State Senate. In 2022, she received an appointment from President Biden to serve as North Dakota's state director of USDA Rural Development, a federal agency responsible for making financing and technical assistance accessible to rural and Tribal communities across the country. When not engaging in issues of importance and finding ways to make an impact, big or small, in her community, Erin enjoys a cold beer on the patio with friends, a cup of coffee with a stranger, live music and comedy, traveling, and being comfy at home in Bismarck with her husband, Chad, and their son and favorite human, Evin. In this episode, we cover: How Erin became involved in the legislative world (kind of by accident!) Why voucher schemes and school choice don't help our small towns How every single one of us has something we can offer and something we can do about the things we care about Resources Mentioned: https://www.ndforpublicschools.com/ https://www.facebook.com/ND4PublicSchools Think Again by Adam Grant Small-Town Shout-Out!

In part three of his series on the unifications of Germany and Italy, Dan talks about the turbulent 1850s and early 60s. In Germany, this is a time of mass industrialization. With the regional economy growing at a record pace, Prussia and Austria engage in saber-rattling diplomacy over the future of the German Confederation.   Meanwhile, the new King of Piedmont-Sardinia, Victor Emmanuel II, aims to do what his father could not: conquer all of Italy. Taking advantage of Austrian weakness – and a burgeoning alliance with France – he and three other men will engineer a revolution that unites the Apennine Peninsula for the first time since the Roman Empire.   TABLE OF CONTENTS: Chapter One: The German Question – 00:04:22 Chapter Two: The Erfurt Union – 00:30:15 Chapter Three: The (Austrian) Empire Strikes Back – 00:42:24 Chapter Four: Enter Bismarck – 01:03:59 Chapter Five: Goodbye, Friedrich Wilhelm – 01:32:59 Chapter Six: Repression in Lombardy – 01:41:19 Chapter Seven: Enter Camillo Cavour – 01:51:20 Chapter Eight: Enter Victor Emmanuel – 02:04:32 Chapter Nine: The Crimean War – 02:17:48 Chapter Ten: Engineering a Revolution – 02:39:34 Chapter Eleven: The War for Northern Italy – 03:05:02 Chapter Twelve: The Expedition of the Thousand – 03:34:34 Chapter Thirteen: The Dictator of Sicily – 04:14:24 Chapter Fourteen: The Conquest of Southern Italy – 04:28:49 Chapter Fifteen: The Proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy – 04:51:04 Chapter Sixteen: Rome and the Risorgimento – 05:13:43   SUBSCRIBE TO RELEVANT HISTORY, AND NEVER MISS AN EPISODE!

Occasional guest host and LTA videographer Nolan Johnson joins Clay to talk about the epic Lewis and Clark Airstream journey of 2025, wherein Clay will follow the Lewis and Clark Trail from Jefferson's Monticello in Virginia to Astoria, Oregon, and back again. Historian James Ronda said the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-06 was “America's first great road story.” Clay plans to get himself on all the great rivers of the journey: Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri, Clearwater, Snake, and Columbia. Nolan will join Clay at several Lewis and Clark sites across America, with video cameras and his celebrated drone work. Nolan and Clay talk about several adventures that have already been scheduled, including an absurd pontoon float from Fort Yates, North Dakota, up to Bismarck and beyond. Clay will begin his transcontinental travels in early May in North Carolina and make stops at Monticello, Harpers Ferry, and Philadelphia before joining the Ohio River at Pittsburgh. It's a grand adventure, and we already ask, “What could go wrong?” This interview was recorded on March 22, 2025.

Most people aren't struggling with faith. They're drowning in self-condemnation.

In 1872, European Americans founded a modest settlement at what was called Missouri Crossing. It got its name because the Lewis and Clark Expedition crossed the river there on their journey to explore the Louisiana Purchase. The settlers named their new community Edwinton, after Edwin Ferry Johnson, an engineer with the Northern Pacific Railroad. Less than a year later, the name was changed to Bismarck, in honor of German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, aiming to attract German immigrants.
