Tras el asesinato en Sarajevo del heredero a la corona, Franz Ferdinand, el 28 de julio de 1914, el emperador Franz Joseph firmó una declaración de guerra contra Serbia. Inducido al error por fuerzas militares y políticas, el monarca de 84 años provocó un Apocalipsis. La ofensiva, que pretendía ser limitada tanto territorialmente como en su duración, acabó convirtiéndose en una de las guerras con más víctimas mortales en la historia de la Humanidad. El documental repasa los 3 primeros años de la guerra, desde 1914 hasta la muerte del Emperador Franz Joseph, marido de la emperatriz Sisi, en noviembre de 1916. Analiza el trasfondo, los motivos y los mecanismos de una guerra en la que se luchaba no solo por el dominio político y militar, sino también para “salvar a Occidente”.

In dieser Folge tauchen wir ein in die historischen Appartements von Kaiser Franz Joseph in der Wiener Hofburg. Erfahre, wie der wohl bekannteste österreichische Kaiser lebte, warum er eine Klingel brauchte, um seine Frau zu besuchen, und wie seine privaten Räume von beeindruckender Schlichtheit geprägt waren. Wir nehmen dich mit auf eine Reise durch prachtvolle Audienzsäle, intime Arbeitszimmer und die kleinen Details, die das Leben in der Donaumonarchie greifbar machen. Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen der kaiserlichen Geschichte, den du nicht verpassen solltest!

“We have been forced to draw the sword”. Following the expiry of Austria's Ultimatum on Saturday 25th July 1914, the Kaiser and the Tsar - friends and cousins, long desirous of peace between their two nations - found themselves in a new and highly precarious situation. Even so, there was still a widespread sense across Europe that war could be avoided, with Sir Edward Grey determined to mediate between Serbia, Russia, Austria and Germany. His efforts would be frustrated when, a month after the assassination, emperor Franz Joseph finally signed the declaration of war on Serbia. That same afternoon the power brokers of St. Petersburg were urging a reticent Tsar to declare war. Then, in the early hours of the following day, there was a mighty explosion outside Belgrade, where a contingent of Serbians, embroiled in the assassination of the Archduke, had blown up a major railway bridge connecting Belgrade to Austria. Following this, there emerged from the darkness three Austro-Hungarian warships, their sights set on revenge…. Join Dominic and Tom as they describe the most dramatic day in the lead up to the First World War so far. With the world hovering on the edge of a gaping precipice, the British cabinet subsequently met again to discuss Germany's next course of action, their thoughts inevitably turning to “plucky little Belgium”… _______ *The Rest Is History LIVE in the U.S.A.* If you live in the States, we've got some great news: Tom and Dominic will be performing throughout America in November, with shows in San Francisco, L.A., Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Boston and New York. *The Rest Is History LIVE at the Royal Albert Hall* Tom and Dominic, accompanied by a live orchestra, take a deep dive into the lives and times of two of history's greatest composers: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven.

From the late-nineteenth century until the mid-1930s, Vienna was Europe's undisputed powerhouse of ideas. But along with the exhilirating achievements of Freud, Wittgenstein, Mahler, and Klimt, there were also darker forces emerging in parallel which have had their own negative impact on modernity, from organized anti-Semitism to ethnonationalism ideologies. These complex tensions are explored in detail in Richard Cockett's excellent new book, "Vienna: How the City of Ideas Created the Modern World." In this discussion with Robert Amsterdam, Cockett explains how the Habsburg emperor, Franz Joseph, permitted such intellectual flourishing to occur, as the rapid influx of Jews and other groups and their assimilation into the Austrian middle class via commercial and educational success augmented intellectual curiosity, discovery, and experimentation throughout the city.  Viennese café and salon culture also helped to foster schools of thought, as students and professors would furiously debate disputed major questions of the day into the wee hours. The conditions for this fervent intellectual incubation of course was not to last, and we're all aware of what followed. Cockett's thoughtful history of the city in this period highlights what we can learn about encouraging greater intellectual vitality, pluralism, and civilizational development.

The townships of Whataroa, Hari Hari and Franz Josef have been heavily affected by the rain which is battering the West Coast. Franz Josef local, Logan Skinner, is monitoring the river levels closely. He spoke to Ben Strang.

Civil Defence staff are standing by on the West Coast as heavy rain rolls in.   The wet weather is expected to batter Westland and the Grey Districts, with the worst arriving around midday between Otira and inland from Haast.  West Coast Civil Defence Te Aroha Cook told Tim Dower that staff have been deployed to emergency operation centres in Westland, Greymouth, Franz Joseph, and Haast, to manage any escalations in the situation.  She says councils will consider a declaration if more resources are required.  Cook says locals know the drill, and they're working to ensure tourists are aware of the risk areas.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

1848 muss Ferdinand abdanken und Franz Joseph wird in Olmütz zum Kaiser ernannt.

Die Wunden der Ungar:innen waren noch frisch, nachdem Franz Joseph ihren Kampf um Unabhängigkeit blutig niedergeschlagen hatte. Es waren keine guten Startbedingungen, als die neue Kaiserin zum ersten mal das Land besuchte. Doch in der ungarischen Lebenslust und dem Drang nach Freiheit erkannte sich Elisabeth wieder. Nach und nach gewann sie die Herzen der Bevölkerung, fand Vertraute – und setzte sich sogar politisch für die ungarische Sache ein.+++Redaktion und Host: Tim Pommerenke // Produktion: Andolin Sonnen // Redaktionelle Mitarbeit: Ivy Haase, Luisa Hannke, Silvana Katzer, Loreen Rahe, Marie Röder // Gedichte: Dominique Devenport // Gesprächspartnerinnen: Timea Dutka und Beatrix Meyer +++ Unsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://datenschutz.ad-alliance.de/podcast.html Unsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://art19.com/privacy.

Wir haben uns in Vorarlberg getroffen und da musste sogleich eine Folge über das Ländle und seine Umgebung aufgenommen werden. Ein Gespräch über Vorarlberger Volkshelden, die Sittenpolizei, was Stalin und Dali damit zu tun haben oder die Frage, was passiert, wenn man den Fürsten beleidigt.

Im Jahr 1798 ging die alte Eidgenossenschaft nach dem «Franzoseneinfall» unter. Besonders heftiger Widerstand kam dabei aus Nidwalden. Dort wehrte man sich gegen den neuen Zentralstaat. Finanziell und moralisch unterstützt wurden die Nidwaldner dabei von der konservativen Bauersfrau Veronika Gut. In Nidwalden wollte man den Status quo wollte man beibehalten – man hatte ein eigenes Verständnis von Freiheit. Dazu gehörten die Ideen der Aufklärung nicht. Zum traurigen Höhepunkt kam es im September 1798, als die überlegenen französischen Truppen in Nidwalden einmarschierten und gegen die Nidwaldner in die Schlacht zogen. Die Folge war ein Massaker an der lokalen Bevölkerung. Die Ereignisse kennt man heute als «Nidwaldner Schreckenstage» - sie erzeugten ein lang anhaltendes, kollektives Trauma. Veronika Gut verlor an diesem Tag ihren Sohn - und später nach einer Falschwarnung auch ihre vier Töchter. Das machte ihren Widerstand allerdings nur noch stärker. Sie nahm mit dem nach ihr benannten «Froneggrat» entscheidend Einfluss auf die Politik in Nidwalden bis 1815.

The Art of Star Trek Cutaways with Chris & Matt Cushman Chris and Matt Cushman are the masters of the cutaway, a type of technical illustration that strips away the hull of an industrial-designed object to show its inner workings. Lucky for sci-fi fans, the brothers are hardcore Trekkies and have used their talents for decades to pull back the exteriors of starships to display every nook and cranny of their interiors. Chris and Matt explain how they went from reading Franz Joseph's technical blueprints in bookstores to creating them on their own. From there, Chris tells how a job with David Kimble changed his career trajectory and breaks down his famous Enterprise-D poster that became one of the best and worst moments of his time drawing starships. Matt tells us how he joined his brother in this endeavor, and they break down how they create their masterpieces, from the Enterprise to DS9, Klingon and Romulan ships, and everything in between. Plus, a discussion on how plagiarism affects the cutaway industry, using computers to design and draw, and advice and insight for anyone who also wants to become a professional technical artist.

On June 28, 1914, Gavrilo Princip shot the heir apparent to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Hear how this assassination sparked World War I, ended four empires, created many new countries, and led to World War II.

Erzherzog Karl Franz Joseph (1887 - 1922) spricht von einer glorreichen Armee und einem glorreichen Sieg. In den Augen der Soldaten, die er besucht hat, liest er "Kampfesfreudigkeit".

As we learned in season one of Reign On Me, royal family drama didn't begin with our modern tabloid stories about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - It's a tale as old as time. To be royal is to be the drama, dahling. In season two of Reign On Me, we dive into the deep end of the Hapsburg dynasty and the intrigues of Austria's last emperor, Franz Joseph, and his wife the eccentric Empress Sisi. A story that once began in triumph - and ended in a series of scandals and tragedies. Did Sisi suffer from the rumored curse of what was then called the Bavarian madness, or was she a progressive genius simply ahead of her time? Was the Emperor a mama's boy who couldn't rule and should have abdicated to his brother? Was the last archduchess the product of an affair? Was a murder-suicide covered up? In a family that on the surface looks more cursed than the Kennedys, was there a way these misfortunes could have been prevented? In season 2 of Reign On Me, we'll also look at how the industrial revolution changed monarchy forever, leaving only the soon to be renamed House of Windsor the last empire standing. How did England's Empire manage to be the only one to survive the first world war? So pull up a chair, pour your favorite drink, and join me, Jennifer Gulbrandsen, as we delve into more drama than today's modern monarchies can dish out as we start Season 2 of Reign on Me, the Hot Mess Hapsburgs, and the end of the Austrian Empire.

Als Franz Joseph I. nach 68 Jahren auf dem Thron am 21. November 1916 starb, hatte er nicht nur länger regiert als jeder andere Herrscher aus dem Hause Habsburg, sondern auch zahlreiche potenzielle Thronfolger überlebt. Das lag nicht nur an der guten Gesundheit des Kaisers. Die späten Habsburger zeigten eine fatale Neigung, durch Unglücke, Unfälle und Gewaltakte aus dem Leben zu scheiden.

În acest episod vorbesc despre Transilvania de după Revoluțiile de la 1848. Austria implementează neo-absolutismul, prin care strânge șurubul asupra națiunilor de pe teritoriul Imperiului. Curând însă, aproape falimentari, austriecii realizează nevoia unui compromis. "Ausgleich", Compromisul dintre Ungaria și Austria, duce la reformarea imperiului sub numele de Imperiul Austro-Ungar, cu unele consecințe importante pentru Transilvania, care trece acum sub administrarea directă a Ungariei. În această perioadă, se înființează Partidul Național Român, care luptă pentru drepturile românilor din Transilvania.Support the show

In 1973, Franz Joseph was a retired industrial designer with a daughter who was a huge Star Trek fan. As he learned more about the fandom, he found a good place to use his talents by converting what he saw on screen into technical drawings. That sparked an idea he shared with Gene Roddenberry in 1973. The Trek Files welcomes Karen Schnaubelt, Joseph's daughter, to share the rest of the story.

PERSIGUE TUS SUEÑOS Devoción Matutina para Jóvenes 2020 Narrado por: Daniel Ramos Desde: Connecticut, Estados Unidos Una cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church   05 DE OCTUBRE KARL LANDSTEINER Podemos hacer nuestros planes, pero el Señor determina nuestros pasos. Proverbios 16:9. A los doce años de edad, Karl Landsteiner planeaba ser músico cuando terminara la escuela. -Lo hiciste muy bien hoy -le había dicho su maestro-. Pronto estarás listo para dar tu primer recital en público. Mientras caminaba por una de las avenidas de Viena, Karl se imaginaba a sí mismo sentado en un gran piano tocando “El Danubio azul" para el emperador Franz Joseph. Casi podía oír los aplausos de la gente que llenaba el teatro de su fantasía. Mientras caminaba, mecía su portafolio con música al son del vals que acababa de tocar en su imaginación. Karl recorría las calles atestadas de gente, sin fijarse bien por dónde ¡ba. De pronto, una violenta sacudida y un alboroto lo dejó frente a frente a un anciano vestido de levita. -Oh, pe-perdóneme, señor -tartamudeó Karl-, Cre-creo que estaba soñando. Se agachó para recogerle el bastón al anciano. -Yo también venía soñando -le dijo el venerable hombre con una amable sonrisa-. ¿Me podrías indicar cómo llegar a Ringstrasse? -Siga derecho por esta calle -respondió Karl-, Se topará con ella. Esa tarde, mientras cenaba con su mamá, leía el periódico. Repentinamente le llamó la atención el dibujo de un anciano con anteojos. Leyó: "Luis Pasteur predice que se podrá conquistar el cólera en un laboratorio de química". -¡Mira, mamá! Yo vi a este hombre hoy. Me preguntó cómo llegar a Ringstrasse. Emocionado, leyó el reportaje del discurso del famoso Pasteur acerca de los microbios y los parásitos. Al día siguiente, Karl trajo una enorme pila de libros de la biblioteca. Leyó acerca de Lister, Koch, Jenner y Pasteur. Por primera vez en su vida penetró en el fascinante mundo de la ciencia. Ahora sabía que debía llegar a ser médico. Ese encuentro accidental con Pasteur lo condujo al descubrimiento de los tipos sanguíneos 0, A, B y AB. Al igual que Karl, bien podrías tener ciertos planes para tu vida; pero, ¿a quién mandará Dios para hacer ciertos cambios en ellos? Las personas que conocemos o aquellos de quienes leemos, a menudo son usados por Dios para dirigir nuestros pasos.

Kaiser Franz Joseph I. von Österreich-Ungarn regierte das riesige Vielvölkerreich der Habsburger über 68 Jahre. In dieser langen Zeit wandelte sich die Welt und sein eigenes Reich ging dabei unter. (BR 2016)

Ich war gerade für ein paar Tage in Wien. In vier Stunden kann man von München mit dem Zug nach Wien reisen. Und weil man natürlich auch in Österreich die deutsche Sprache spricht, erzähle ich heute etwas über dieses Nachbarland. Das dortige österreichische Deutsch unterscheidet sich in der Aussprache sehr - und auch viele Wörter sind anders. Während wir Aprikosen essen, essen die Österreicher Marillen. Tomaten heißen Paradeiser, Pfannkuchen Palatschinken und Taxifahrer sind dort die Taxilenker. Zudem gibt es natürlich noch unterschiedliche österreichische Dialekte - manche davon sind auch für mich schwer zu verstehen. Fast drei Viertel des Landes sind gebirgig, denn die Alpen ziehen sich durch Österreich. Der höchste Berg ist der Großglockner mit 3798 Metern. Am westlichen Ende des Landes gehört ein Teil des Bodensees zu Österreich. Österreich hat 8,8 Millionen Einwohner und neun Bundesländer: Das Burgenland, Kärnten, Niederösterreich, Oberösterreich, Salzburg, die Steiermark, Tirol, Vorarlberg und Wien. Wien ist die größte Stadt des Landes und gleichzeitig die Hauptstadt. Andere große Städte sind Salzburg, Innsbruck, Linz und Graz. Wer durch Wien geht, der sieht im Zentrum die Hofburg. Das ist ein imposantes Schloss. Denn ab 1246 herrschten die Habsburger, das war eine adelige Familie. Vielleicht kennt Ihr auch die bekannte bayerische Prinzessin Sisi, die später zur österreichischen Königin wurde und dann sogar zur Kaiserin? Sie lebte in diesem Schloss. Ich kann nicht die gesamte Geschichte Österreichs in einer Episode dieses Podcasts wiedergeben. Kurz gesagt war es einmal ein großes und mächtiges Land. Denn ab 1804 gab es hier das Kaisertum Österreich, ab 1867 sogar die Doppelmonarchie Österreich-Ungarn - es war damit der zweitgrößte Staat Europas. Eine wichtige Rolle spielte Franz Joseph. Er war erst 18 Jahre alt und löste den kranken Kaiser ab. Unter ihm wurde das Land zur konstitutionellen Monarchie. 68 Jahre lang regierte er das Land. Heute ist Österreich keine Monarchie mehr. Der Adel wurde abgeschafft. Die Republik gibt es seit dem Ende des Ersten Weltkrieges 1918. Österreich-Ungarn hatte den Krieg verloren. Südtirol ging an Italien über und gehörte nicht mehr zu Österreich. Auch Ungarn trennte sich. Die Landesgrenzen wurden neu gezogen. Zwanzig Jahre später herrschten die Nazis in Österreich, Adolf Hitler war Österreicher. 1938 waren die Deutschen einmarschiert. Auch hier gab es die Judenverfolgung. Nach dem Kriegsende 1945 und dem Ende der Besatzung wurde Österreich 1955 wieder ein eigener Staat. Politisch ist Österreich eine föderale, parlamentarisch-demokratische Republik. Es gibt ein Zweikammersystem, das aus Nationalrat und Bundesrat besteht. Regiert wird das Land heute von Bundeskanzler Sebastian Kurz und es ist Mitglied in der Europäischen Union.

Franz Joseph Hayden was a brilliant composer and one of the most important figures in European classical music. He inspired luminaries such as Mozart and Beethoven, and even today his music is beloved the world over. However, shortly after he […]

HAPPY NATIONAL UNDERWEAR DAY! Join us as we celebrate everything from thongs to bodysuits or whatever we wear underneath!

They serve to keep outer garments from being soiled or damaged by bodily excretions, to lessen the friction of outerwear against the skin, to shape the body, and to provide concealment or support for parts of it.” Undergarments are generally of two types, those that are worn to cover the torso and those that are worn to cover the waist and legs, although there are also garments which cover both.  Different styles of undergarments are generally worn by females and males (though do you, bb). Undergarments commonly worn by females today include bras and panties (known in the UK as knickers), while males often wear briefs, boxer briefs, or boxer shorts. Items worn by both (and any, all, or none) genders include T-shirts, sleeveless shirts, bikini underwear, thongs, and G-strings. Undergarments are known by a number of terms: Underclothes; underclothing; underwear, smalls, unmentionables, Reg Grundys, or Reginalds. Reg or Reginald Grundy was an Australian entrepreneur and media mogul. I could not find the origin of this use of his name, and it seems he was well-liked. It appears that the primary goal to use “grundies” is that it simply rhymes with “undies.” In the US, women’s underwear may be known as delicates due the recommended washing machine cycle or because they are, simply put, delicate Women’s undergarments collectively are called lingerie, intimate clothing, and intimates An undershirt (or “vest” in the UK) is a piece of underwear covering the torso, while underpants (or “pants” in the UK), drawers, and shorts cover the genitals and buttocks Not wearing underpants under outer clothing is known in American slang as “freeballing” for men, “free buffing” for women, and as “going commando” for either sex. The act of a woman not wearing a bra is sometimes referred to as “freeboobing.” The function of underwear can range from the following: preventing outer garments from being soiled by perspiration, urine, semen, menstrual blood, and feces; women's brassieres provide support for their breasts (although this is now in dispute due to some recent studies which claim that bras may worsen breast sagging due to the inactivity of the ligaments that already support them); men’s briefs serve the same supportive function for their balls and dick; a corset may be worn as a foundation garment to alter a woman’s body shape; men often wear more tightly fitting underwear, such as jockstraps and protective cups, for additional support and protection when playing sports; sports bras provide greater support to women, thus increasing comfort and reducing the chance of damage to the ligaments of the chest during high-impact exercises such as jogging. In cold weather, underwear may also constitute an extra layer of clothing to help keep the wearer warmer.  Underwear may also be used to preserve the wearer’s modesty, such as camisoles and slips under clothes that are sheer Conversely, some types of underwear can be worn for sexual titillation, such as edible underwear, crotchless panties, and thongs Some undergarments may also have religious significance (PICTURES IN THE SHOWNOTES) In Judaism, the tallit katan is often worn beneath the shirt. This is a fringed garment traditionally worn either under or over one’s clothing by Jewish men. It is a poncho-like garment with a hole for the head and special twined and knotted fringes known as tzitzit (TASSELS) attached to its four corners While all four cornered garments are required to have tzitzit, the custom of specially wearing a tallit katan is based on a verse in Numbers 15:38-39 which tells Moses to exhort the Children of Israel to “make them throughout their generations fringes in the corners of their garments.” Following their endowment in a temple, Mormons wear special temple garments which help them to remember the teachings of the temple. These are worn both day and night, and are required for any adult who previously participated in the endowment ceremony to enter a temple They are intended to provide the member “a constant reminder” of the covenants they made in the temple, since members are instructed to wear the garments day and night--i.e. They “should not partially or completely remove any portion of the garment to participate in activities that can reasonably be done with the garment worn properly beneath the clothing,’ such as ‘working in the yard.’” Swimming is given as an example of an activity that would justify removal, but members are further instructed to “put it back on as soon as possible.” The nature of the protection is ambiguous and varies between adherents. In fact, they are sometimes derided as “magic underwear” by non-Mormons Researchers who interviewed a sample of LDS who wear the garments reported that virtually all wearers expressed a belief that wearing the garment provided “spiritual protection” and encouraged them to keep their covenants Some of those interviewed “asserted that the garment also provided physical protection, while others seemed less certain of any physical aspect to protection.” In Mormon folklore, tales are told of Latter-Day Saints who credit their temple garments with helping them survive car wrecks, fires, and natural disasters  The garment was first described in the 1840s as a one-piece undergarment extending to the ankles and wrists, resembling a union suit, with an open crotch and a collar. It was made of unbleached cotton and held together with ties in a double knot A union suit is a type of one-piece long underwear, created in Utica, NY, originating as women’s wear during the 19th century as an alternative to constricting garments. The first union suit was patented in 1868 as “emancipation union under flannel.” It was traditionally made of red flannel with long arms and legs, buttoning up the front, with a button-up flap in the rear covering the buttocks (which was colloquially known as the “access hatch,” drop seat,” fireman’s flap,” and “crap flap,” among other things”) In 1923, a letter from LDS Church president Heber J. Grant stated that after careful and prayerful consideration the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the LDS Church had unanimously decided that specific modifications would be permitted to the garments: Sleeves could end at the elbow; Legs could be shortened to just below the knee; Buttons could be used instead of strings The collar was eliminated And the open crotch was closed Protestors against the LDS church have used the garments to publicly mock and parody the wearing of the garments, including spitting and stomping on them in view of attendees of an LDS Church General Conference in 2003. One protestor reportedly blew his nose into a garment he was wearing around his neck.  A scuffle broke out between a protester and two church members who attempted to take the garments from him In response, the municipality of Salt Lake City planned stronger enforcement of fighting words and hate speech laws for the 2004 conference, in order to avoid a repeat of the conflict. They also enacted new protest buffer zones In Sikhism, one of the five articles of faith is a certain style of underpants similar to boxer shorts and known as the kacchera This tradition started in 1699 as a religious mandate from Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Guru of Sikhism, and the garment is worn by baptized Sihks, serving as a symbol of one’s commitment and dedication to the order of the tenth master It is considered the Guru’s gift and remind the Sikh’s of the Guru’s message regarding the control of the Five Evils or Five Thieves. These are the five major weaknesses of the human personality at variance with its spiritual essence, known as “thieves” because they steal a person’s inherent common senses. They consist of lust, wrath, greed, attachment (love of and attachment to worldly things and relations), and pride.  he primary aim of a practicing Sikh is to subdue these five vices and render them inactive. I hadn’t previously known about the parallels to the Christian Seven Deadly Sins, which are lust, wrath, greed, envy, sloth, gluttony, and pride. The Sins are often thought to be abuses or excessive versions of one’s natural faculties or passions It’s intended to remind the Sikhs that they should control their sexual desire or lust, and meant to give a feeling of dignity, modesty, and honor to the person who wears it, as well to remind the Sikh of the Guru’s commandment to think of members of the opposite sex as he or she would think of immediate family and not as objects of lust The kacchera is secured and tied with a drawstring, so as to remind them that when one is untying it, one is given time to think about what one is about to do Zoroastrians wear an undershirt called a Sedreh that is fastened with a sacred girdle around the waist known as a Kushti The Sedreh contains a small pocket in the front, which is supposed to collect one’s good deeds It is considered a spiritual shield from evil History of underwear as a concept!  The loincloth is the simplest form of underwear and was probably the first undergarment worn by humans. In most civilizations this was the only undergarment available. It continues to be worn by people around the world Archeologists have found the remains of loincloths made of leather dating to at least 7000 years ago, including on our old pal Otzi the Iceman. Otzi was found sporting not just some of the earliest evidence of tattoos, but also a goatskin loincloth under his furry leggings. I included two photos of Otzi in the shownotes, one of his original form and one of a reconstruction of what he may have looked like King Tut was apparently buried with 145 spare loincloths In ancient Rome, pants were known as subligaculum, which was a unisex garment. Female performers were known to have also worn an additional “boob tube’ (a flat bit of stretched cloth) to protect their modesty Bras were worn at least somewhat during the 15th century, as evidenced by four medieval bras that were found in a hidden vault underneath floorboards in an Austrian castle. This 2012 discovery “astonished costume historians, who had always declared the bra to be a 20th-century invention.” During the Middle Ages, the loincloth was replaced by loose, trouser-like clothing called braies, which the wearer stepped into and then laced or tied around the waist and legs at around the mid-calf. Wealthier men often wore chausses as well, which covered only the legs By the Renaissance, braies became shorter to accommodate longer styles of chausses, which were also giving way to form-fitting hose, which covered the legs and feet.  Braies were usually fitted with a front flap that was buttoned or tied closed. Know as a codpiece, this allowed men to urinate without having to remove the braies completely  Henry VIII, whose reign ran from 1509-1547, began padding his codpiece, which caused a spiralling trend of larger and larger codpieces that only ended by the end of the 16th century It’s been speculated that the King may have had syphilis, and his large codpiece may have included a bandage soaked in medication to relieve its symptoms He also wanted a healthy son and may have thought that projecting himself in this way would portray fertility Codpieces were sometimes used as a pocket for holding small items During the 16th century, the farthingale became popular. This was a petticoat stiffened with reed or willow rods so that it stood out from a woman’s body like a cone extending from the waist (AKA a hoop skirt. Photo rendition is in the shownotes) Corsets also began to be worn about this time. At first they were called “pairs of bodies,” which refers to a stiffened decorative bodice worn on top of another bodice stiffened with buckram, reeds, canes, whalebone, or other materials. These were not the small-waisted, curved corsets familiar from the Victorian era, but straight-lined stays that flattened the bust The mass production of underwear became possible with the invention of the spinning jenny machines and the cotton gin in the latter half of the 18th century, since they made cotton fabrics widely available Women’s stays of the 18th century were laced behind and drew the shoulders back to form a high, round bosom and erect posture.  Stays became shorter and were unboned or only lightly boned, and started being called corsets. As tight waists became fashionable in the 1820s, the corset was again boned and laced to form the figure. By the 1860s, a tiny (“wasp”) waist came to be seen as a symbol of beauty, and the corsets were stiffened with whalebone or steel to accomplish this.  Tight lacing of a corset sometimes led to a woman needing to retire to the “fainting room”--this was a private room used during the Victorian era to make women more comfortable during the home treatment of female hysteria, particularly for privacy while receiving pelvic massages Jumping through time to discuss used underwear :( The sale of used female underwear for sexual purposes began in Japan in stores called burusera, and they were even sold in vending machines.  With the advent of the internet, which made anonymous mail-order sales possible, some women began selling their dirty panties and other underwear.  Some men find the odor of a woman’s bodily secretions sexually arousing, and will use the panties as a masturbatory aid The sale of dirty panties, sometimes worn for several days and sometimes customized with requested stains, is a significant niche in the sex work field. A far smaller market sells used male underwear to other men Celebrity underwear is sometimes sold. A framed pair of Elvis Presley’s dirty underwear sold for $8k in 2012. Undergarments of Marilyn Monroe, Queen Elizabeth, and Franz Joseph have been sold at auction. Some celebrities, including Jarvis Cocker, Alison Goldfrapp, Nick Cave, Sacha Baron Cohen, Ricky Gervais, Jah Wobble, Fergie, and Helen Mirren have donated their underwear to be sold for charity History of the holiday itself can be traced back to 2003, according to nationalunderwearday.com. The holiday was founded by Freshpair, which is a privately held online retailer of men’s underwear and women’s intimate apparel, headquartered in Fairfield, NJ. The company was founded in 2000. So that means this holiday is now old enough to drive! Freshpair established National Underwear Day in an effort to “shine light on ‘unmentionables’”, starting by advertising heavily congested areas of New York City. In 2012, they promoted the holiday by launching a pop-up shop near Columbus Circle.  In 2013, they advertised the holiday in Times Square by attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people in their underwear. However, the company was tragically unable to break the record, which is currently held at 2,270 by the Utah Undie Run. The event topped out at around 800 people The Undie Run is an event where a large number of people disrobe down to their underwear, and then run. The Utah record was set on September 24, 2011. That run was held to protest Utah’s conservative laws.  COED Magazine, a US magazine marketed to college students, reported that Undie Runs are the “number one university sanctioned event.” The earliest known Undie Run was started by student Eric Whitehead at UCLA in the fall of 2001 Freshpair participates in the annual Underwear Run in Manhattan, sponsored by Aquaphor (my favorite post-tattoo protectant!) According to nationalunderwearday.com, a website run by Freshpair, the holiday has been featured on CBS, Good Morning America, Fox News, Live with Kelly and Michael, The Huffington Post, and dozens more! In 2018, it was endorsed by the Ellen Degeneres show, and I included a link to part of the segment in the shownotes. There are a lot of screaming middle-aged women ogling the many male models, Justin Bieber, and Mario Lopez cuts included in this clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMCrflGHOFQ Fun facts and statistics! From online articles “11 Weird Facts About *Panties* We Bet You Didn’t Know!”, “39 Amazing Facts About Underwear”, “63 Interesting Facts about Underwear” The average American woman owns approximately 21 pairs of underwear Approx. 10% of women own over 35 pairs Trend analysts observe that a woman who wears a g-string is typically a woman who feels more uninhibited and more confident to display her body. Sexually, she is more willing to try different and creative positions Thongs were invented in 1939, after NYC Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia passed a law that nude dancers needed to wear them rather than going bare Sexual researchers note that a woman who chooses to wear white cotton panties tends to be a low maintenance and no-frills type. Researchers note that this is akin to letting a man see her without makeup The same sexual researchers also observe that men who wear the “boyish” briefs “may not be ready to grow up” The average woman will wear six different bra sizes throughout her life A recent survey found that nearly ⅔ of women are wearing the incorrect bra size, and 29% of those women are completely unaware of it Most bras should be replaced every 6 months The size of an average woman is 5’4” and 135 lbs. The average size of a Victoria’s Secret model is 5’10” and 112 lbs. The typical measurements for a Victoria’s Secret model are a 34” bust, 24” waist, and 34” hips A 2008 survey revealed that 9% of American men have underwear that is at least 10 years old. 15% own underwear that is between 5-9 years old Italians consider it good luck to bring in the New Year wearing red coloured underwear On October 14, 1996, a student pledging for the Kappa Alpha frat at Texas A&M required emergency care after receiving injuries from a wedgie. He had to have one of his testicles removed as a result of the injury After Michael Hirschey gave Erik Kurtis Low a wedgie on May 8, 2003, Low fatally shot Hirschey. The prosecutor for the case said in his closing arguments “that receiving a wedgie is not a reason to kill somebody.” The word “wedgie’ is allegedly derived from “wedge-heeled shoe” and became popular in the 1970s from the effect it gave the victim Single people are less likely to change their underwear on a daily basis than married people--82% vs 88% respectively To avoid urinary tract infections, among other things, physicians recommend changing underwear at least once a day There is also an estimated 1/10 of a gram of fecal matter in most people’s underwear Quick reminder that Disney World made their employees wear communal underwear until 2001, when they finally killed that policy due to lice and scabies outbreaks The world’s most expensive underwear is a chastity belt that costs $2000.  It’s a gold, diamond, and pearl chastity belt created by jeweller Uwe Koetter for a private client The most expensive lingerie set is the Susan Rosen Diamond Bikini, which was designed exclusively for the 2006 Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit issue and is worth $30M This thing is just basically threads tying together what look like upside down heart-shaped nipple pasties made of diamond and metal mesh. On the crotch, it’s just a g-string with a heart-shaped cover over the model’s pubic mound, with a massive diamond in the center. Photo in the shownotes. Panty raids were a popular American college prank in the 1950s, consisting of large groups of boys who would invade the womens’ dorms to steal panties, later putting them on display as a trophy of a successful raid Jack Singer of New York wore 215 panties simultaneously on June 13th, 2010, setting a world record for panty wearing and breaking the previous record of 200 pairs Kindergartners in Siberia run outside in their underwear and dump freezing water over themselves to strengthen their immune systems On August 14, 1945, more than 1K Japanese officers raided the Imperial palace to destroy the recording of the Emperor’s speech of surrender. Confused by the layout of the palace, the rebels never found the recording. It was later smuggled outside in a basket of women’s underwear for broadcast. In 1995, Boris Yeltsin, the then president of Russia, and when visiting DC was found drunk in his underwear trying to hail a cab to find pizza Actress Tallulah Bankhead was infamous for not wearing underwear. During the filming of Lifeboat, the crew complained about her flashing them when she had to climb a ladder. Director Alfred Hitchcock reportedly quipped that he didn't know if it was a matter for wardrobe or hairdressing.  The British Army issues antimicrobial underwear that can be worn for three months at a time Carrie Fisher wore no underwear in Star Wars because George Lucas convinced her “there is no underwear in outer space” We learned on National Laundry Day that this is a lie! Astronauts incinerate their underwear In Finland, the word ‘kalsarikannit’ means to get drunk at home, alone, in your underwear The makers of Edible Underwear were denied patent protection on the grounds that “candy and pants were incompatible” Major league baseball umpire required by rule to wear black underwear, in case they split their pants Abercrombie & Fitch was forced to remove a line of thongs in childrens sizes made specifically for pre-teen girls. The front of the underwear read phrases such as “Eye Candy” and “Wink Wink” An 18-year old man tried to eat his underwear in the hope that the cotton fabric would absorb alcohol before he took a breathalyzer test A majority of American women prefer to wear bikini underwear, coming in at 37%. Briefs are second at 23%, thongs at 19%, boy shorts at 17% and “other” at 4% Some early American settlers had themselves sewn into their underwear for the winter, since it was easier than having to button so many buttons. It also meant that they didn’t bathe until spring. I’m guessing these were some variation of the union suit, with a crap flap option Scholars note that women seemed to wear corsets during times in history when their lives were severely restricted and they had few rights. As women gained more rights, they rejected the more restrictive underwear In the 1990s, hip-hop artists made it fashionable for men to wear their pants below their waists and showing their underwear. This style, called “sagging,” is said to have originated in prison when jail inmates had their belts removed because they might be used as possible weapons. Other historians believe this style as a sign of availability among homosexuals After police in Colfax, Washington (about a 5 hour drive from Seattle, basically the Idaho border), arrested Greg Flaherty for hanging around an apartment laundry room, they discovered he had stolen over 1613 (so...1613.5?) pairs of women's underwear.  “Reports do not indicate whether they were stolen before or after they were washed.” SOURCES https://www.historyextra.com/period/ancient-egypt/from-loincloths-to-corsets-a-brief-history-of-underwear-with-horrible-histories-greg-jenner/amp/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undergarment https://mashable.com/2015/07/22/underwear-facts/ https://www.popxo.com/ampstory/2017/04/surprising-facts-about-panties/ https://www.kickassfacts.com/39-amazing-underwear-facts/ https://www.factretriever.com/underwear-facts https://nationaltoday.com/national-underwear-day/ http://nationalunderwearday.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undie_Run https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freshpair https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/underwear-day/ Tallit Katan Temple garments Kacchera Sedreh Farthingale OTZI!!

We are kicking off our brand new Tech Podcast with a very special edtion live from WWDC2018 in San Jose.

Diesmal machen wir etwas ganz verrücktes: wir sprechen über einen anderen Schriftsteller. Franz Joseph Wagner. Eigentlich hatte ich mich mit Boris Fust getroffen, um über sein Dasein als Texter zu sprechen, es kam dann allerdings ganz anders. Aufgrund von Alkoholkonsum hatten wir plötzlich das starke Bedürfnis über die Genialität oder Nichtgenialität vom Bildkolumnistin zu sprechen. Das haben wir dann auch getan. Boris Fust arbeitet in einer Kommunikationsagentur, war Journalist und ist Autor. Er macht sein Leben lang Worte - diesmal über jemand anderen. Und er ist natürlich "ein Freund" und nicht "mein Freund" - wie fälschlicherweise in der Anmoderation behauptet.

On this episode of 70s Trek, co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto are celebrating the show's 75th episode.  It’s the perfect time to look back and see what we’ve covered so far and take a look at what’s around the corner. Star Trek's Specialness Throughout 70s Trek, we've discovered a very common theme.  There are many little stories and events that surround the show and its fandom that make it special.  These are things that have not happened to other other TV shows.  Just Trek! Apart from its on-screen presentations, Star Trek has a special past, a certain pedigree that sets it apart from other creations.  It's what makes the franchise unique. It's been the goal of 70s Trek to touch on some of these stories and events from the 1970s that helped shape Star Trek's rise and dramatic popular explosion. Past Moments Bob talk about the moments in the early 70s that brought attention to the show.  When the Neilsen Ratings company moved to demographics to report TV ratings rather than just the mass numbers right after Star Trek was cancelled.  Seeing how well the show performed with key demos made NBC realized it had made an incredible mistake! When the show went into syndication, it quickly became profitable and prompted Filmation's Lou Scheimer to approach Roddenberry and NBC about doing an animated version. In the meantime, fandom is growing rapidly as illustrated by the first Star Trek convention. Organizers expected 500, but 3,000 showed up! All of this, and more, prompted Paramount to invite Roddenberry back to their lot to begin work on a new Star Trek feature.  That began nearly a 27-month process of listening to multiple pitches, trying to fine the right story.   Books Of course fueling fandom's fire were the many books in the early 1970s.  Prized by Trek fans were the episode adaptations written by James Blish.  There was also the first Star Trek reference book, The Star Fleet Technical Manual by Franz Joseph.  Bjo Trimble followed that book up with the Star Trek Concordance, a fan-produced episode guide that included much more.   Another fan-written reference book was the Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual created by a group of friends that were associated with the Federation Trading Post, an early Star Trek store.  Part of that group was Doug Drexler.  An Academy Award winner, Drexler would go on to work on every version of Trek from 1990 forward. Interviews 70s Trek has also tried to present interviews with those that played significant roles with Star Trek in the 1970s  Richard Arnold worked directly for Gene Roddenberry.  We mentioned Doug Drexler above, and Bob Kelly also talked with Bjo and John Trimble. Looking Forward Coming up are episodes about Phase II, some other influences on Star Trek's next version and the production of The Motion Picture.  We hope you will join us.

Just two years after the publication of the Star Fleet Technical Manual by Franz Joseph, some friends in Manhattan got the idea to do their own reference book.  The result was the Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual (MRM). The books was created by a group of young people who were in their teens and twenties.  They knew each other through the Federation Trading Post, a store and museum in Manhattan in the mid 1970s. Ron Barlow ran the Trading Post with Doug Drexler, who would later go on to work professionally for Trek shows in the 1990s and early 2000s.  Ron's girlfriend, Eileen Palestine, a nurse, was the driving force behind the MRM.  It was her idea to create the book, after seeing the success of Franz Joseph's Star Fleet Technical Manual. The MRM was created using the primitive publishing tools of the day.  The pages were created on a typewriter and the diagrams were hand-drawn.  Yet this group of young people were able to compile each medical fact from Star Trek, provide diagrams and even project out details that were not presented in the show's three seasons.  While the MRM may look a bit out-dated by today's standards, it does a great job of touching on just about every medical fact or topic that was presented in Star Trek.  It’s another one of those   from the 1970s that told you when you first saw it, that “Star Trek Lives.”

This week on 70s Trek co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto talk about the first reference book about Star Trek, The Starfleet Technical Manual by Franz Joseph. It was published in 1975, and is a great look into what Star Trek was in 1975, and what it might have been, as well. Joseph was a designer who came upon this project because his daughter was a Trek fan. The book is full of diagrams and proposed information about Starfleet, the academy and much, much more. Joseph closely examined frames of film from episodes to see what props, sets and consoles looked like. He then redrew them for the Manual. But this book is also unique for how it treats the material: Joseph wrote the book as if it was an intercepted computer file from the future.  He treats it as real, and enthusiastic fans in 1975 loved it!  

Für viele ist Franz Joseph I. vor allem der Mann der schönen "Sisi”. Erstaunlich wenig für einen Kaiser, der vom Biedermeier bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg fast 70 Jahre lang über einen riesigen Vielvölkerstaat herrschte.
