Wie immer beginnen wir unser Programm mit einem Rückblick auf einige aktuelle Ereignisse. Wir starten mit einer Diskussion darüber, dass Deutschland, Frankreich, Großbritannien und die USA die Reichweitenbeschränkung von 70 km für Waffen, die an die Ukraine geliefert wurden, aufheben wollen. Anschließend werfen wir aus Anlass des fünften Todestages von George Floyd einen Blick auf den aktuellen Stand der „Black Lives Matter“-Bewegung in den USA. In unserer Wissenschafts-Story geht es heute um Kapuzineraffen in Panama, die dabei beobachtet wurden, wie sie Babys von anderen Affenarten entführten. Und wir beenden den ersten Teil des Programms mit einem Gespräch über die Filmfestspiele von Cannes, die letzten Samstag zu Ende gegangen sind. Der zweite Teil des Programms wird sich mit der deutschen Sprache und Kultur beschäftigen. Unser erster Dialog enthält viele Beispiele zum heutigen Grammatikthema – Modal Verbs. Bereiten Sie sich vor und frischen Sie Ihr Gedächtnis auf! Auf unserer Website finden Sie eine Lektion zu diesem Thema und Quizfragen zum Üben. In unserem letzten Dialog werden wir den Gebrauch einer weiteren deutschen Redewendung veranschaulichen – Wieder auf die Beine kommen.

When we talk about acting tools, we usually mention headshots, reels, technique, or coaching. But punctuation? Not so much. And yet, punctuation—something you probably haven't questioned since middle school—might be interfering with your most natural, honest performances. The Problem Most Actors Don't Know They Have You get a script. Maybe it's commercial copy, maybe it's a scene. And without realizing it, your brain starts obeying the punctuation. Comma. Small pause. Period. Full stop, drop your pitch. Exclamation mark. Boost the energy, punch the line. Your body responds to those tiny marks automatically. But here's the thing: those cues might not match what your character is actually feeling. They might even contradict the emotional truth of the scene. If you've ever given a read that felt stiff, too “correct,” or like something was missing… this might be why. Why Punctuation Feels Helpful (But Can Hurt) Punctuation is meant to clarify meaning in writing. It's useful when you're reading silently or trying to follow someone else's train of thought. But acting isn't silent reading. It's expression. It's listening and responding. It's emotional and often messy. Here's where things get interesting: studies show that your brain processes punctuation differently depending on the mark. Semicolons and dashes? They activate the left side of the brain. Exclamation points and periods? The right side. Each carries its own emotional weight. Each sends a signal, even if you don't consciously register it. Which means your delivery may be less about what you're feeling… and more about how your brain is reacting to a comma. How to Break Free (Without Losing the Script) As Mandy Fisher shared in this episode of the Acting Business Boot Camp podcast, one of the most helpful things you can do—especially for commercial reads—is to strip out the punctuation entirely. Remove the commas. Take out the periods. Uncapitalize everything except brand names. Why? Because when you stop being told where to pause or emphasize, you start making those choices from instinct. From character. From context. It might feel strange at first, but that discomfort is exactly where more interesting, more connected performances begin. A Simple Experiment to Try This Week Take 60 seconds of script. Could be anything—a monologue, a commercial, a scene. Delete every piece of punctuation. Then read it out loud. Notice what your voice does. Notice how your pacing shifts. See what happens when you stop “reading” and start speaking. You might stumble. You might feel a little out of control. But you'll also find something new. A more honest rhythm. A stronger point of view. A version of the script that sounds less like a performance and more like a person. Final Thought: Punctuation or Presence? Punctuation has a place. It can help with rhythm and intention. But if you're performing with one eye on the commas, you're probably holding back. So ask yourself: are you punctuating for performance? Or are you speaking from presence? You already have a voice that's worth hearing. You don't need grammar rules to make it powerful. Let go. Experiment. Trust that you know how to connect without a period telling you when to stop. Ready to take your training deeper?

This is CrossPoliticNews’ Weekly Roundup sponsored by Christian Business Leaders Network. If you want to find out more about this network and its efforts to connect Christian business leaders so that they can more effectively help their businesses and shape culture, visit businessmakers.network. Again, that’s businessmakers.network. (https://businessmakers.network/) What if I told you that the Supreme Court is reading the Constitution wrong because they don’t understand basic grammar that a fourth grader could know? Yes, it’s actually true, but before I explain why, we first need to talk about the tug of war going on in Washington State about transgenderism. As our journalist Justin Chartrey reported, our country was broadly forced to accept the lie that boys could play in women’s sports, and if anyone questioned it, they were called names and canceled. That sounds like a toddler tantrum to me. Well, thankfully, Trump signed an executive order in February to keep boys out of girls’ sports, so this has been a blessing to our nation. However, not everyone on the West Coast has gotten the memo. The government of Washington State does not want to change its liberal policies, and this has frustrated the Central Valley School District by the city of Spokane. This school district is not only writing a complaint against the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction of Washington State, but it has also appealed to Washington D.C. by asking the department of education and the department of justice to investigate Washington State’s transgender sports policy. The Central Valey School District is not alone in its efforts, though, because the Mead School District in Washington State is also opposing Washington State’s transgender sport wickedness. However, I mentioned before that this is a tug-of-war, and so this is why. If the state government doesn't comply, then the federal government will hold money from the school districts. But if the school districts comply with the federal government, then the state government will take away funding. And here's the practical side of the problem. The federal government only holds 5% of a school district's budgets with their funding, but Washington State controls 78% of a school district's budgets. So, right now, the state government is the holding the bigger gun, but this hasn’t stopped Central Valley from asking for help from Washington D.C. anyway. We need more school districts like Central Valley and Mead to step out and do the right thing in states that are steeped in a liberal government. Check out the details at crosspoliticnews.com. (https://www.crosspoliticnews.com/news/school-districts-take-up-title-ix-fight) Meanwhile, our reporter David Fowler wrote about the confusion over the first amendment in the Supreme court, and, like I said earlier, the court doesn’t understand the grammar right. We saw this begin to play out again a few weeks ago in a case where a Catholic charter school in Oklahoma wanted tax support from the state, but the state’s government refused. This made its way to the Supreme Court, but it seems like the Court will probably rule against the school because the court tends to rely more on its past precedents and rulings than the Constitution. And even though its previous rulings sometimes contradict each other or don’t seem to fit together, it doesn’t seem like there will be much support for the Catholic school, mostly because people have misunderstood what the Constitution says about religion. People love pointing to the First Amendment as proof for why the U.S. should stay away from religion in politics, but this is where looking at the grammar is helpful. The first amendment specifically says that, quote, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, unquote. As Justice Story wrote back in the 1800s, the first amendment was supposed to specifically prevent Congress from establishing a, as our journalist David Fowler wrote, quote, “national ecclesiastical establishment” unquote. Congress was the subject in the first amendment—not individual states. Again, as our journalist David Fowler wrote, “The First Amendment’s religion clauses do not give this Court jurisdiction to legislate a tax and educational policy for those in Oklahoma.” (https://www.crosspoliticnews.com/news/will-scotus-get-the-religion-clauses-wrong-again) Find out more of the details at crosspoliticnewscom.

Comme toujours, la première partie de l'émission sera consacrée à une discussion sur l'actualité. Nous commencerons par une conversation sur le projet Esther de la Heritage Foundation, qui s'attaque au militantisme pro-palestinien aux États-Unis. Ce projet est censé lutter contre l'antisémitisme, mais il semble que sa position pro-israélienne masque des objectifs propres aux nationalistes blancs. Nous poursuivrons avec une discussion sur le rapport indiquant que les mouvements d'extrême droite de l'UE tireraient parti de la frustration des jeunes hommes de moins de 25 ans face à la « perte d'un emploi stable » et de leur « indépendance financière », qui sont des « marqueurs traditionnels de la masculinité ». La partie scientifique de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacrée à une étude selon laquelle les hommes français ont une empreinte carbone 26 % plus élevée que les femmes parce qu'ils aiment la viande rouge et les voitures. Enfin, nous parlerons des chaussures de Barbie qui reflètent l'évolution qu'a connue le rôle des femmes dans la société ces 65 dernières années.    Comme toujours, nos sections grammaire et expressions seront consacrées à la langue et à la culture françaises. Notre première conversation montrera comment appliquer la leçon de grammaire d'aujourd'hui : The Personal Direct Object Pronouns. Et notre dernière conversation de l'épisode d'aujourd'hui illustrera l'utilisation de l'expression française : C'est la croix et la bannière ! - Le projet Esther de la Heritage Foundation vise à éradiquer le soutien pro-palestinien aux États-Unis - Dans certains pays de l'UE, les jeunes hommes votent de manière disproportionnée pour les partis d'extrême droite - En France, les hommes ont une empreinte carbone 26 % plus élevée à cause de la viande rouge et des voitures - Les chaussures de Barbie reflètent le changement du rôle des femmes dans la société depuis 65 ans - « Touche pas au comté » : une nouvelle polémique à la française - L'administration française est-elle vraiment compliquée ?

La primera parte del programa la dedicaremos a comentar la actualidad. Comenzaremos discutiendo el Proyecto Esther de la Fundación Heritage, que busca destruir el activismo propalestino en Estados Unidos. Supuestamente, el proyecto busca contrarrestar el antisemitismo, pero parece que utiliza la postura proisraelí para enmascarar objetivos relacionados con el nacionalismo blanco. Continuaremos con un informe que asegura que los movimientos ultraderechistas de la UE han sido capaces de aprovecharse de la frustración de los hombres de menos de 25 años por la “pérdida de un trabajo estable y la independencia económica”, que son los “marcadores tradicionales de la masculinidad”. El segmento de ciencia del programa de hoy se centra en un estudio que informa de que los hombres franceses tienen una huella de carbono un 26 % más alta a causa de las carnes rojas y los coches. Y, para acabar, hablaremos del calzado de Barbie. 65 años de cambios en el rol de la mujer en la sociedad se han visto reflejados en lo que lleva Barbie. En esta semana, los segmentos de gramática y expresiones estarán dedicados a la lengua y la cultura españolas. Nuestra primera conversación incluirá multitud de ejemplos del tema de gramática de hoy, Uses of the relative pronouns. Y la última conversación del episodio de hoy ilustrará ejemplos de un nuevo proverbio español, No por Mucho Madrugar, Amanece Más Temprano. El Proyecto Esther de la Fundación Heritage busca destruir el apoyo propalestino en EE. UU. En algunos países de la UE, los hombres jóvenes votan de forma desproporcionada por los partidos de ultraderecha Los hombres franceses tienen una huella de carbono un 26 % mayor a causa de las carnes rojas y los coches Cómo 65 años de cambios en el rol de las mujeres en la sociedad se han visto reflejados en el calzado de Barbie Premios Nobel de Literatura españoles No por mucho madrugar, amanece más temprano

Wie immer diskutieren wir im ersten Teil unseres Programms aktuelle Ereignisse der Woche. Wir beginnen mit einem Gespräch über das Projekt Esther der Heritage Foundation, dessen Ziel es ist, den pro-palästinensischen Aktivismus in den USA zu zerstören. Dieses Projekt soll angeblich Antisemitismus bekämpfen. Es scheint jedoch, als würde es sich hinter einer pro-israelischen Haltung verstecken, um weiß-nationalistische Ziele zu verfolgen. Anschließend sprechen wir über einen Bericht, der beschreibt, dass rechtsextreme Bewegungen in der EU die Frustration junger Männer unter 25 Jahren über den Verlust traditioneller Attribute der Maskulinität ausnutzen. Dazu zählt der Verlust eines festen Arbeitsplatzes und der finanziellen Unabhängigkeit. Der wissenschaftliche Teil unseres heutigen Programms befasst sich mit einer Studie, die zeigt, dass französische Männer eine 26 % höhere CO2-Bilanz als französische Frauen haben, was auf Fleischkonsum und Autos zurückzuführen ist. Und zum Schluss sprechen wir über Barbies Schuhwerk. 65 Jahre Veränderungen der Rolle der Frau in der Gesellschaft spiegeln sich auch in Barbies Schuhen wider. Wie immer sind unsere Dialoge über Grammatik und Redewendungen der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Unsere erste Diskussion wird viele Beispiele für unser heutiges Grammatikthema enthalten – Separable Verbs in the Present Tense. Und unser letzter Dialog wird den Gebrauch einer weiteren deutschen Redewendung veranschaulichen – In den sauren Apfel beißen. Projekt Esther der Heritage Foundation – das Ziel ist die Zerschlagung der pro-palästinensischen Unterstützung in den USA Warum junge Männer in manchen EU-Ländern überproportional häufig rechtsextreme Parteien wählen Männer in Frankreich haben eine 26 % höhere CO2-Bilanz als Frauen 65 Jahre Veränderungen der Rolle der Frau in der Gesellschaft und die Auswirkungen dessen auf Barbies Schuhwerk Geschichte der Tiefkühlpizza Margot Friedländer: „Seid Menschen!“

Comme toujours, nous commencerons notre émission par un tour d'horizon de l'actualité. Tout d'abord, nous parlerons de l'élection historique du premier pape américain. Ensuite, nous analyserons la possibilité qui s'offre aux pays européens de faire venir des scientifiques américains dont les travaux sont menacés par les coupes budgétaires de Trump dans le domaine de la recherche. Dans notre section scientifique, nous nous intéresserons à une étude fascinante sur les liens sociaux proches de l'amitié entre humains qui unissent les choucadors superbes, des étourneaux africains. Enfin, nous examinerons le dilemme auquel est confrontée une ville ukrainienne qui tente de concilier son héritage multiculturel avec une nouvelle loi de « décolonisation » visant à supprimer les symboles de l'impérialisme russe.    La deuxième partie de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacrée à la langue et à la culture françaises. Notre premier dialogue contiendra de nombreux exemples illustrant le point de grammaire d'aujourd'hui : The Imperative Mood. Et nous conclurons l'épisode avec une conversation qui montrera comment utiliser l'expression du jour : avoir un poil dans la main. - Léon XIV sera le premier pape américain - L'Europe accueille les scientifiques américains menacés par les coupes budgétaires de Trump dans le domaine de la recherche - Les choucadors superbes nouent des relations qui ressemblent à de l'amitié - La ville ukrainienne d'Odessa se débat contre son passé impérial russe et soviétique - Le coming-out psychiatrique du journaliste Nicolas Demorand suscite beaucoup d'émotions - Le mot « sérendipité » fait son entrée dans le dictionnaire

I, Stewart Alsop, welcomed Woody Wiegmann to this episode of Crazy Wisdom, where we explored the fascinating and sometimes unsettling landscape of Artificial Intelligence. Woody, who is deeply involved in teaching AI, shared his insights on everything from the US-China AI race to the radical transformations AI is bringing to education and society at large.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps01:17 The AI "Cold War": Discussing the intense AI development race between China and the US.03:04 Opaque Models & Education's Resistance: The challenge of opaque AI and schools lagging in adoption.05:22 AI Blocked in Schools: The paradox of teaching AI while institutions restrict access.08:08 Crossing the AI Rubicon: How AI users are diverging from non-users into different realities.09:00 Budgetary Constraints in AI Education: The struggle for resources like premium AI access for students.12:45 Navigating AI Access for Students: Woody's ingenious workarounds for the premium AI divide.19:15 Igniting Curiosity with AI: Students creating impressive projects, like catapult websites.27:23 Exploring Grok and AI Interaction: Debating IP concerns and engaging with AI ("Morpheus").46:19 AI's Societal Impact: AI girlfriends, masculinity, and the erosion of traditional skills.Key InsightsThe AI Arms Race: Woody highlights a "cold war of nerdiness" where China is rapidly developing AI models comparable to GPT-4 at a fraction of the cost. This competition raises questions about data transparency from both sides and the strategic implications of superintelligence.Education's AI Resistance: I, Stewart Alsop, and Woody discuss the puzzling resistance to AI within educational institutions, including outright blocking of AI tools. This creates a paradox where courses on AI are taught in environments that restrict its use, hindering practical learning for students.Diverging Realities: We explore how individuals who have crossed the "Rubicon" of AI adoption are now living in a vastly different world than those who haven't. This divergence is akin to past technological shifts but is happening at an accelerated pace, impacting how people learn, work, and perceive reality.The Fading Relevance of Traditional Coding: Woody argues that focusing on teaching traditional coding languages like Python is becoming outdated in the age of advanced AI. AI can handle much of the detailed coding, shifting the necessary skills towards understanding AI systems, effective prompting, and higher-level architecture.AI as the Ultimate Tutor: The advent of AI offers the potential for personalized, one-on-one tutoring for everyone, a far more effective learning method than traditional classroom lectures. However, this potential is hampered by institutional inertia and a lack of resources for tools like premium AI subscriptions for students.Curiosity as the AI Catalyst: Woody shares anecdotes of students, even those initially disengaged, whose eyes light up when using AI for creative projects, like designing websites on niche topics such as catapults. This demonstrates AI's power to ignite curiosity and intrinsic motivation when paired with focused goals and the ability to build.AI's Impact on Society and Skills: We touch upon the broader societal implications, including the rise of AI girlfriends addressing male loneliness and providing acceptance. Simultaneously, there's concern over the potential atrophy of critical skills like writing and debate if individuals overly rely on AI for summarization and opinion generation without deep engagement.Contact Information*   Twitter/X: @RulebyPowerlaw*   Listeners can search for Woody Wiegmann's podcast "Courage over convention" *   LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/dataovernarratives/

Come sempre, apriamo la puntata passando in rassegna alcune delle notizie più importanti della settimana. Il primo argomento sarà la storica elezione del primo papa americano. A seguire ci occuperemo dell'opportunità offerta ai Paesi europei di accogliere scienziati statunitensi il cui lavoro è minacciato dai tagli ai finanziamenti per la ricerca voluti da Trump. Nella sezione dedicata alla scienza, parleremo di uno studio sugli storni superbi africani, che sembrano instaurare legami simili all'amicizia. E infine, analizzeremo il dilemma affrontato da una città ucraina nel cercare di conciliare il proprio patrimonio multiculturale con una nuova legge di decolonizzazione volta a rimuovere i simboli dell'imperialismo russo.    Nella seconda parte del programma ci concentreremo sulla lingua e la cultura italiana. Il primo dialogo sarà ricco di esempi relativi all'argomento grammaticale del giorno – Conceptual Difference Between passato remoto and passato prossimo. Infine, ascolteremo una conversazione costruita intorno al proverbio: Cercare un ago in un pagliaio, per capirne il significato e l'uso nella vita quotidiana. - Leone XIV sarà il primo Papa di origine statunitense - L'Europa accoglie gli scienziati statunitensi minacciati dai tagli di Trump ai fondi per la ricerca - Gli storni superbi africani sviluppano relazioni che somigliano all'amicizia - La città ucraina di Odessa fa i conti con il suo passato imperiale russo e sovietico - Il giorno in cui l'Italia andò in blackout - Sara Curtis, la nuova stella del nuoto italiano

This episode stars Judy and Adam Tanzer, the host's mother and brother respectively. It was recorded over the Zoom between the This Podcast Will Change Your Life home studio in Chicago, IL and their homes which are located in greater Philadelphia-land in April 2025.

In a collaboration between educators from the University of Leuven — who recently organized a conference on the future of schooling — and the ATTC school leadership program, this is a special series of Leading Education with Heart and Soul about the grammar of schooling. Each episode explores one or two key dimensions of what constitutes the fundamental “grammar” of schooling. This time, we ask: can we have, imagine, or create a school without… language and class? Guests are Jorge Larrossa Bondia and Jan Masschelein, and these are their thoughts:Writing puts spoken language at a distance and allows us to reflect on spoken language to deepen our thinking. School provides the time and space to slow down, write, and rethink.At school, it's not about saying what you think, but thinking about what you say. It's also not about which language is dominant, but how one relates to language.Language is a real problem, it is a way of engaging with real worlds, like mathematics and Latin. Learning a second language gives the experience of what language means and does.Language is not merely a tool for communication. It is a practice rooted in love and curiosity, like philology, the science of language as love for language.There are three ways to think about class, our second dimension: as a physical space, as a random grouping of students, and as a space that enables freedom and equality — a collective of learners, not individuals with fixed identities.Both school and class exist to nurture worlds. When they become too focused on teachers, students, personalization, identification, or “natural development,” they loose their essence.You can pedagogically redesign class, but not as learning environment or learning accelerator.This podcast has been made possible through the support of the ATTC School Leadership Program, the educational consultancy School Matters, and the retreat facility The Valley of the Good Life.

Wie immer beginnen wir unser Programm mit einem Rückblick auf einige aktuelle Ereignisse. Als Erstes sprechen wir über die historische Wahl des ersten US-amerikanischen Papstes. Danach diskutieren wir über die Gelegenheit, die sich den europäischen Ländern durch Trumps Kürzung von Forschungsmitteln bietet. Sie wollen Wissenschaftler aus den USA aufnehmen, deren Arbeit durch die Kürzungen bedroht ist. In unserem Wissenschaftsteil sprechen wir heute über eine Studie über afrikanische Prachtglanzstare. Diese Vögel gehen Beziehungen ein, die einer Freundschaft ähneln. Und zum Schluss beleuchten wir das Dilemma der ukrainischen Stadt Odessa, die ihr multikulturelles Erbe mit einem neuen Entkolonialisierungsgesetz in Einklang bringen muss, das die Entfernung von Symbolen des russischen Imperialismus vorsieht. Der zweite Teil des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Unser erster Dialog ist voller Beispiele für unser heutiges Grammatikthema – Stem-Changing Verbs and Irregular Verbs. Und wir beenden die heutige Folge mit einem Dialog, der den Gebrauch einer weiteren deutschen Redewendung veranschaulicht – Sich keine grauen Haare wachsen lassen. Leo XIV. wird der erste Papst aus den USA Europa heißt US-Wissenschaftler willkommen, die von Trumps Forschungskürzungen bedroht sind Entwickeln afrikanische Prachtglanzstare freundschaftliche Beziehungen?

La primera parte del programa de hoy la dedicaremos a discutir la actualidad. Comenzaremos con la designación de AfD como una organización extremista de ultraderecha en Alemania. La Oficina Federal para la Protección de la Constitución del país cita las posturas xenofóbicas del partido como el motivo. Continuaremos con un análisis del estado actual del movimiento populista. Se suponía que Donald Trump iba a destruir a los centristas tradicionales con una revuelta global populista anti-woke. Pero su desenfrenada segunda presidencia quizá esté haciendo lo contrario. Después pasaremos a comentar los resultados del Global Flourishing Study, publicados la semana pasada. El último tema de actualidad será una discusión sobre la vestimenta apropiada de los líderes mundiales. El presidente de EE. UU., Donald Trump, fue criticado por romper las normas de decoro en el funeral del papa. El resto del programa estará dedicado a la lengua y la cultura españolas. El diálogo de gramática incluirá multitud de ejemplos de Prepositions of Location. Y nuestra última conversación ilustrará los usos de un nuevo proverbio español, Coger el toro por los cuernos. Alemania designa oficialmente a AfD como un grupo extremista de ultraderecha ¿Está sufriendo el populismo global un revés a causa de las políticas de Trump? El Global Flourishing Study ofrece resultados inesperados Trump, criticado por romper las normas de decoro en el funeral del papa El Parque de Riotinto: Marte en la Tierra Agustina de Aragón

Im ersten Teil unseres Programms geht es wie immer um aktuelle Ereignisse. Wir beginnen mit der Einstufung der AfD als rechtsextremistische Organisation in Deutschland. Das Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz begründet dies mit den ausländerfeindlichen Positionen der Partei. Anschließend analysieren wir den aktuellen Stand des Populismus in aller Welt. Es war erwartet worden, dass Donald Trump den etablierten Zentrismus mit einer globalen populistischen Revolte zerschlagen würde, aber seine turbulente zweite Präsidentschaft könnte das Gegenteil bewirken. Danach sprechen wir über die Ergebnisse der Global Flourishing Study, die letzte Woche veröffentlicht wurde. Und unser letztes Thema ist einer Diskussion über die angemessene Kleidung von Staatsoberhäuptern gewidmet. US-Präsident Donald Trump wurde dafür kritisiert, bei der Beerdigung von Papst Franziskus gegen die Anstandsregeln verstoßen zu haben. Der Rest des Programms wird sich mit der deutschen Sprache und der deutschen Kultur befassen. Im Grammatikdialog gibt es viele Beispiele zum heutigen Thema: Regular Verbs in the Present Tense (Präsens). Und unser letzter Dialog wird den Gebrauch einer weiteren deutschen Redewendung veranschaulichen – Nicht jemandes Bier sein. Deutschland stuft die AfD offiziell als rechtsextremistische Gruppe ein Droht dem globalen Populismus aufgrund von Trumps Politik ein Rückschlag? Global Flourishing Study benennt unerwartete Gewinner Kritik an Trump wegen Verstoßes gegen den Dresscode bei der Beerdigung des Papstes Führerschein wird immer teurer Pflicht zur Akzeptanz von Kartenzahlungen soll kommen
