Bianca hat Nachholbedarf in Sachen Körpersprache. Wie die kleine Meerjungfrau auf dem Hocker hinter dem Mietwagen-Counter zu sitzen, ist keine Power Pose, hat ihr ein Coach gesagt.

Um das mal gleich zu spoilern: Für einen Haifilm ist der Bodycount erschreckend niedrig. Und insgesamt hat uns "The Reef - Stalked" auch nicht wirklich vom Hocker gehauen. Das ist irgendwie der zweite Teil von "The Reef", hat aber inhaltlich nichts damit zu tun. Die beiden Filme haben nur den Drehort in einer australischen Kleinstadt gemein und das war es dann auch schon.

Ein Kommentar von Uwe Froschauer.Am 14. Mai 2025 gab der – erst im 2. Wahlgang – gekürte, zehnte Bundeskanzler der BRD, Friedrich Merz, seine erste, knapp einstündige Regierungserklärung ab. Das durch seine Wahlkampflügen verlorene Vertrauen seiner politischen Kollegen und der Bevölkerung galt es wiederherzustellen. Merz trat sicher, nüchtern und staatsmännisch auf, und verzichtete auf ein angriffslustiges und rhetorisches Feuerwerk. Über weite Strecken gab er Inhalte des Koalitionsvertrags wieder, ohne auf bestehende Unstimmigkeiten zwischen den Koalitionspartnern einzugehen. Seine Rede war insbesondere von außenpolitischen und weniger von innenpolitischen Themen geprägt. Er gab sich als Europa-Kanzler, der unter anderem die Bundeswehr zur stärksten konventionellen Armee Europas machen will, um Wladimir Putin von weiteren Angriffen abzuhalten.Wirklich Neues gab es da nicht zu hören. Die erste Hälfte machten die Zuhörer im Bundestag einen eher gelangweilten Eindruck. Der Applaus – auch des Koalitionspartners SPD – hielt sich in Grenzen. Das verwundert auch nicht, zumal soziale Fragen von Friedrich Merz kaum angesprochen wurden, weil sie ihn wahrscheinlich auch weniger interessieren. Die zweite Hälfte war etwas belebter, riss mich jedoch auch nicht gerade vom Hocker.Zum Thema Ukraine meinte Merz, dass die Friedensordnung des europäischen Kontinents auf dem Spiel stehe, und er sich einen gerechten, dauerhaften und tragfähigen Frieden wünsche. Ein Diktatfrieden oder eine Unterwerfung der Ukraine käme nicht in Frage. Ausschnitte aus seiner Rede und KommentierungNachdem Friedrich Merz seinen Vorgänger Olaf Scholz in seiner Haltung zum Ukrainekonflikt lobte, und sie „wegweisend“ und „historisch“ nannte, sagte Merz ein paar Minuten später:„Täuschen wir uns also nicht über die Dimension der Herausforderung: 80 Jahre nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges und im 35. Jahr der Wiedervereinigung Deutschlands wird unsere Freiheit durch die Gegner und Feinde unserer liberalen Demokratie so sehr angegriffen wie selten zuvor.“...hier weiterlesen: https://apolut.net/friedrich-merz-zum-ukrainekonflikt-in-seiner-regierungserklarung-von-uwe-froschauer/ Hosted on Acast.

In part two of The Journey Beyond Death begins a powerful three-part arc on Mental Health Resiliency. In this deeply honest and emotionally raw episode, we explore how the grieving mind struggles to stay grounded after the loss of someone irreplaceable — and what survivors can do to regain emotional equilibrium. Certified grief educator and thanatologist Elreacy Dock joins us to offer expert insight on the early stages of grief and the emotional turbulence that can last for years. Elreacy shares why year two is often more emotionally taxing than year one, and how avoiding emotions too long can trigger delayed grief and breakdowns. We also discuss the dangers of using substances to suppress grief, and instead offer healthier rituals that restore stability and self-expression. Joining Elreacy are Carole Brody Fleet, Joyce Hocker, and Mark Henick — all of whom bring unique expertise and lived experience. From suicide prevention and emotional sobriety to reclaiming identity after widowhood, this episode offers guidance that is fiercely compassionate and unapologetically real. Mental health isn't about “getting over” death. It's about learning how to live beside the wound. --------------------------------------- Featuring in order of appearance: 01:00 – Certified Grief Educator Elreacy Dock 09:54 – Carole Brody Fleet 27:18 – Psychologist Dr. Joyce Hocker 38.52 - Mark Henick --------------------------------------- Elreacy Dock Elreacy Dock is a certified grief educator, thanatologist, behavioral health consultant, and death educator.

Endlich hat die Cantina Corner wieder ihre Pforten geöffnet und so können wir sagen: Moin und Servus! Nach einer (zugegebenermaßen viel zu langen) Pause melden wir uns endlich zurück aus den Tiefen des Weltraums. Zum Wiedereinstieg haben wir uns direkt zwei galaktische Themen vorgenommen, die unser Fanherz höherschlagen lassen. Zum einen sprechen wir darüber, warum die Vorfreude auf die zweite Staffel von "Andor" ins Unermessliche steigt – was erwarten wir, was erhoffen wir uns? Zum anderen lassen wir die kürzlich zu Ende gegangene Star Wars Celebration 2025 Revue passieren. Welche Ankündigungen haben uns vom Hocker gehauen, welche Momente waren unvergesslich? Also, schnappt euch ein Glas vom feinsten Spotschka, lehnt euch zurück und taucht mit uns ein in die Cantina Corner!

The inaugural Grand Slam Track is in the books. What went right, what went wrong, and what were our thoughts? as Emmauel Wanyonyi pulled the upset over the Olympic milers Hocker, Kerr and Nuguse and picked up $100,000 as so did Grant Fisher in a controversial fashion. Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone cruised to her $100,000 while at the Cherry Blossom 10 miler Taylor Roe broke the world best and was fantastic as Charles Hicks got the win on the men's side over Alex Maier who got the Americna record.

Du hast genug von langweiligen Meetings, in denen alle mit ihren Smartphones spielen und der Kaffee das spannendste an der ganzen Sache ist? ☕

Heute gehen wir dahin, wo nicht verkostet, sondern gebechert wird: in ein stickiges Hinterzimmer der Markthalle Neun in Kreuzberg. Während vorne die La Grand Suff Weinmesse tobt, sind Martina und Johannes ein Fels in der Brandung, unbeeindruckt vom interagierenden Publikum. Die steirischen Winzer machen „Headline-Weine“ - so formuliert es ein Zuschauer, bevor er zustandsbedingt vom Stuhl fällt. Wie sagt Johannes Gross so schön? Man bekommt von der Natur nichts geschenkt, manchmal bringt sie einen sogar um - zum Beispiel wenn man nicht vom Hocker, sondern vom Steilhang stürzt. Doch neben Heldengesängen gibt es auch den psychologischen Innenblick: Was bedeutet das elterliche Erbe? Was ist ein moderner Mann? Und natürlich bekommt ihr auch genau die Art von Jammern auf hohem Niveau, die ihr an uns liebt, etwa Diskussionen um Lieblings-Champagner, warum Selosse (oder nicht), bzw. Ulysse Colin (oder nicht). Eine Episode wie das Leben, flowers in the dirt.

Ein Gespräch über den Reiz (und die Abnutzung) des Free-Solo-Kletterns und die Freude am reinen Tun, ohne es jemand erzählen zu müssen. Albert Neuner ist zumindest in meiner Wahrnehmung fast schon eine Art Phantom - man bekommt quasi nichts von ihm mit und wenn sein Name dann doch mal auftaucht, dann kann man davon ausgehen, dass seine neueste Aktion (die dann wahrscheinlich schon Wochen oder Monate zurück liegt) pures Staunen erzeugt. Sein Free-Solo vom Megaklassiker Locker vom Hocker vermerkte er einfach nur im Gipfelbuch. Dass er am Matterhorn, quasi onsight den Speedrekord von Ueli Steck trotz bescheidener Bedingungen und direktem Gipfelausstieg fast knackte, wurde ihm erst beim Anschauen der Fotos bewusst. Und dass er, als er einfach mal ausprobieren wollte, ob die komplette Wettersteinüberschreitung in unter 24 Stunden überhaupt möglich ist, nicht mal eine Uhr mitlaufen ließ, spricht schon Bände. Dieser Mann scheint die Aktionen einfach nur für sich zu machen - einfach aus Freude am Tun. Eine mächtige Inspiration für eine Community, in der es doch oft ums Profilieren und Vergleichen geht.

Was haben Sitzbänke, Podeste, Hocker und Picknickdecken gemeinsam? Sie laden bestenfalls zum Verweilen ein, fördern soziale Interaktion und Komfort. Wir sprechen mit Axel Klapka darüber, was eine gute Sitzgelegenheit ausmacht, welche Entwurfshaltung damit ausgedrückt und wie die eigene Sitzbank entworfen werden kann. Zudem sprechen wir mit ihm über seine Lehre an der Fachschule:Wie bringt er den Studierenden die Konstruktionsgrundlagen bei? Wie vermittelt er ein Verständnis für abstrakte Details, wenn in den ersten Semestern das Vorwissen über Baustellen noch fehlt? Lioba Lissner und Luisa Balz sprechen mit ihm Baukonstruktion und Bauausführung. Wie kam er zu diesem Fokus und was findet er hier besonders wichtig? Axel Klapka hat 2001 das Büro k1 Landschaftsarchitekten mit dem Schwerpunkt Ausführungsplanung und Bauleitung gegründet. Seit 2003 ist durch die Büropartnerschaft mit Catherine Kuhn das Aufgabenfeld um Entwurf und Wettbewerbe erweitert. Axel lehrt zudem an der Fachhochschule Erfurt im Fachgebiet Baukonstruktion und Ingenieurbiologie in der Landschaftsarchitektur, war Vorstandsmitglied des bdla Berlin/Brandenburg, ist als Preisrichter tätig, schreibt Fachartikel und hält Vorträge.Let's Talk Landscape befasst sich mit Inhalten rund um Landschaftsarchitektur und richtet sich an die Fachöffentlichkeit und alle, die sich für Stadtgestaltung interessieren. Unser Leitbild Gemeinsam.Nachhaltig.Gestalten führt uns durch vielfältige Themen und bringt uns jeden ersten Donnerstag im Monat zu spannenden Gesprächen mit interessanten Gästen.

Damit soll die Zukunft des Spitals im Oberengadin gesichert werden. Zudem würde der Zusammenschluss die Gemeinden finanziell entlasten, sagt der Stiftungsratspräsident des Spitals Oberengadin. Das letzte Wort hat allerdings das Volk - die Abstimmung findet im April statt. Weitere Themen: · Gemäss den Zahlen des Amtes für Wirtschaft und Tourismus gibt es im Kanton Graubünden erstmals mehr Konfessionslose als Reformierte. Gemäss den Zahlen der reformierten Kirche, welche auch die Kinder und Jugendlichen bis 15 Jahre einschliessen, sind die Reformierten aber nach wie vor die grösste Gruppe. · Im Misox hat heute Morgen ein Wolf die Autobahn A13 überquert und einen Polizeieinsatz ausgelöst. · Für das WEF werden jedes Jahr Tonnen von Material nach Davos transportiert, darunter Pflanzen, Hocker und Bartheken. Die Umweltorganisation GreenUp sammelt diese Reste und gibt sie an Einheimische weiter. Ein Augenschein.

Tim Rowberry, who went from being a pace maker for the Nike Oregon Project to the coach of the unstoppable Sifan Hassan, joins us at 66:11 to discuss his coaching story and Sifan Hassan's amazing Olympic triple that culminated in Olympic marathon gold. Prior to that we discuss whether Grant Fisher has a ton of talent (link), debate whose career you'd rather have his or Donavan Braziers, and then ponder who would win at 600m Cole Hocker or Fred Kersley (link here). Grand Slam Track will launch in Jamaica in April. We break that down and discuss the mental side of running (book here) before Rowbery joins us. Show notes below with links.

Vor 50 Jahren wurde auch in Deutschland klar, dass Schweden - einrichtungstechnisch - nicht nur für „schwedische Gardinen“ gut ist. Denn vor 50 Jahren wurde die erste deutsche IKEA-Filiale eröffnet. Und seitdem hat der Möbelriese aus dem Norden viele von uns im Sturm erobert. Ein IKEA-Regal zusammenzubauen gehört für viele inzwischen eindeutig zu den 100 Dingen, die man getan haben sollte, bevor man stirbt. Oder bevor man mit dem selbsterrichteten Möbelstück zusammenbricht. Denn so wie man geschraubt hat, so bettet man sich. Aber IKEA ist nicht alles und ebenso wenig ist ohne IKEA alles Nichts. Nicht nur weil IKEA im Verdacht steht, vor dem Bau seiner Möbel Raubbau an Wäldern zu betreiben, sondern auch weil sich Sessel und Sofa, Hocker und Stuhl, Schrank und Kommode, Tisch und Bett auf unzählige Arten herstellen, gestalten und gruppieren lassen. Und weil wir Menschen in all unserer Vielfalt uns nicht zuletzt in unseren Möbeln widerspiegeln. Was also verrät unsere Einrichtung darüber, wie wir selbst uns im Leben eingerichtet haben? Zu Gast in unserer Wohnlandschaft sind diesmal u.a. der Möbeltischlergeselle Elias Kleespies (Teilnehmer an der Handwerker-WM 2024), Dr. Claudia Banz, Kuratorin am Berliner Museum für Kunstgewerbe und Dorothea Epperlein, Waldexpertin bei der Umweltschutzorganisation “Greenpeace” Podcast-Tipp: Tee mit Warum Und wenn Sie Lust haben, sich dem Wohnen und Einrichten philosophisch zu nähern, empfehlen wir den Podcast „Tee mit Warum“. Die richtige Farbe an der Wand, warmes, indirektes Licht und sorgfältig arrangierte Möbel: Nicht erst seit der Corona-Pandemie legen viele Menschen großen Wert auf eine Wohnung, in der sie sich wohlfühlen. Aber was treibt uns dazu, unsere Wohnräume zu gestalten, zu verschönern und zu perfektionieren? Steckt hinter dem Wunsch nach einem schönen Zuhause ein tief verankerter Drang nach einem Rückzugs- und Reflexionsort? Versuchen wir, uns mit einem schönen Zuhause von einer Außenwelt abzuschotten, die mehr Unsicherheit als Sicherheit bietet? Darüber diskutieren Denise M'Baye und Sebastian Friedrich mit dem Philosophen und Journalisten Florian Rötzer. Sie hinterfragen das Konzept der Verwurzelung bei Martin Heidegger und beschäftigen sich mit Vilém Flusser, der das Wohnen gedanklich vom festen Boden entkoppelt hat. Außerdem berichtet die Architekturhistorikerin Turit Fröbe von den Entwicklungen rund um das Wohnen in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten. https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/tee-mit-warum-die-philosophie-und-wir/warum-wollen-wir-schoener-wohnen-mit-florian-roetzer-und-vil-m-flusser/ndr-kultur/13705217/

Assistant Coach Tim Geving returns to the Bench and teams up with Mason to face Markkus & Matt in this Ede-hosted game. In it, we learned that Tim & Mason don't want to get canceled, the Missing Link is not about people with huge hogs, a Weird Al-free halftime still has the teams singing, and the teams need a measuring stick for the Sporting Haikus round. #Prefontaine #Postfontaine #SimoneBiles #56inches #SlenderManOnSkates #PileOfHumanWaste #YouTakeTheGoodYouTakeTheBad #BJJ https://www.patreon.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.facebook.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.twitter.com/benchwarmerstp https://www.instagram.com/benchwarmerstp/ https://www.teepublic.com/stores/benchwarmers-trivia-podcast

Tonight, on Trackside, we celebrate Gordon Johncock's birthday, and preview the remainder of the IndyCar season, as well as some Olympics talk, including Cole Hocker's gold medal run in the 1500. Hocker is from Indianapolis. They talk about the streaming power of Peacock, and how viewing numbers have been. They also briefly talk about the IMSA race last weekend. Kevin gives his insight on the Juncos Hollinger seat that has opened with Augustin Canapino departing from the team, and how Conor Daly drove his car at the test at World Wide Technology Raceway.  Later, Kevin and Curt talk about a conversation Tony Stewart had with Jake Query, and his opinion that the Brickyard 400 should be run at night under the lights. The two debate about whether that would be good for in-person attendance, and if IMS would ever install lights.  To round out the first hour, Kevin talks about baseball playing at Bristol Motor Speedway, and how something like that could happen at Indianapolis.  In the second hour of the show, Kevin and Curt talk about some of the best NASCAR races, and how NASCAR succeeded through mainstream television. Kevin brings up the question as to why IndyCar teams don't have reserve drivers, and if we will see that change soon. They go over the history of reserve drivers in Indy, and when they were used most recently. They talk about the pricing of Venu Sports, and alternatives to paying for it, like buying an antenna.  Later in the second hour, Kevin goes to the X Box to ask some listener questions. They answer a question about backup cars, and how most teams just opt to repair their primary car since backups do not have engines. They also answer a question about the Mario Andretti and AJ Foyt Trophies for the best oval and road course drivers, and why they went away. They bring up the possibility of racing at Richmond, and how fans have to show up for those races for them to return to the schedule.  Kevin ends the show with what we missed. He brings up how Rossi has improved health wise after his surgery, and Kevin updates us on Jackson Lee's ride at IMS for the Michelin Pilot Challenge. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In one of the most hyped, anticipated track races in recent memory, it was Cole Hocker, and not the big favourites Jakob Ingebrigtsen or Josh Kerr, who emerged as the Olympic 1500m champion. The race lived up to its billing - Ingebrigtsen's aggressive pace-setting, Kerr hunting from behind, and Hocker, patient and poised, waiting to unleash what turned out to be the deadliest kick of all. We review the race, offering insights on Ingebrigtsen's pace selection, which truly was all or nothing as he faded to finish fourth. We also discuss the other track finals (women's 200m and 3000m Steeplechase), and explore a track cycling world record deluge in Paris' velodrome.Join DiscourseIf you're enjoying of Paris Daily podcasts, and generally love sports science, consider a small donation to become a Patron of the site, and get access to our Discourse community, where you can join like-minded fans and sports enthusiasts to keep the conversation going.

Editor's note: Des and Kara will blame me for this episode, while I would like to take credit. You be the judge!  The overview of this episode is pretty straightforward. Des and Kara catch up on their lives as usual... they preview a few Olympic events... they answer some questions from a friendship/partner Q&A and then finish with another Olipop Top 5. Simple enough and yet oh so good. You don't want to miss this one! Some early content teasers: Team Pasta and/or Team Past (thank you Barilla)! Des's ideal birthday and birthday gift (Sorry Ryan... Des wants her own boat!). The potential chaos of the Olympic marathon route. Kerr, Ingebrigtsen or... Hocker? A reason for Kara to streak in the Olympic stadium? Fearing Kipyegon no more? The Hassan quadruple?  And then for the good part, where Des and Kara answer questions from a NY Times Q&A called... "The 36 Questions That Lead to Love." As introverts, they are uncomfortable with it, but they dive in reluctantly anyway and we learn so much... The questions are part fun, part deep, and occasionally dark. They are two friends who are more likely to sing to themselves than give anyone a call, and we love them for it. Enjoy learning new things about Des and Kara!

It's a rest day in Eugene, but Des and Kara aren't resting. They droppin' this freshy fresh recap episode like it's oh so hot. The Gs know what we talkin' about... Now, button up your pastel polos because this episode has a little bit of everything, including all of the laughs you expect and insights you can't get anywhere else. Kara starts with a behind-the-scenes description of calling races with NBC including the Snoop Dogg cameo during the men's steeplechase final. Did she play it cool or did she unleash her inner 17-year-old and lose her s**t when she met the D.O. Double G? Of course, you get recaps of all of the distance finals so far AND highlights from the sprint events, including hot takes on Grant Fisher's win, Drew Hunter's out-of-nowhere, top-4 finish, Hillary Bor's fall in the men's steeple, that holy Hocker kick from 250m, the near-photo-finish in the women's 5K, Parker Valby's boss run to potentially make the team, the bittersweet 800m final for the women, and so much more.  Plus, you learn that NACAC isn't an insurance company or a duck call but actually the thing that might punch Evan Jager's ticket to the Olympics. [Can YOU say NACAC five times fast?] Then, you hear what Des and Kara thought of the 100m finals (we see you Sha'Carri, Noah, and Fred!), Noah Lyle's kit reveal, and the 16-year-old sprint phenom Quincy Wilson who might just make a relay team in Paris.  This episode is everything we love about Des and Kara... listen in as your prep for the second half of the trials which starts on Thursday!
