"This is one time where television really fails to capture the true excitement of a large squirrel predicting the weather.​" Phil Conners, "Groundhog Day" - For the past 136 years at 7:20am on February 2nd 15 men dressed in tuxes and top hats gather round a chubby, brown-furred creature named Punxsutawney Phil, Seer of Seers, Sage of Sages, Prognosticator of Prognosticators, and Weather Prophet Extraordinary to find out if spring will arrive early or if we will be forced to endure another six weeks of winter. People from across the globe gather in the Ordinary Extraordinary town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to await the news and cheer on this auspicious rodent year after year, but just how did this tradition even begin? Jennie, Dianne and special guest Charlie visit the graves of two journalists who helped to create this annual tradition dating back to 1886 that has often been called, "one of the greatest ongoing publicity campaigns in history".Resources used to research this episode include:"A Little Bit About Us....." https://www.punxsyhistory.org/.

Not long after sunrise Peter Leutenegger was flying his chopper across the Jubilee Downs Station, singing along to a few of his favourite Slim Dusty songs. He was mustering horses in preparation for the upcoming Fitzroy Crossing Rodeo; a popular annual event that saw many people travel to the area, when he noticed something unusual on the ground below.It appeared to be a vehicle, but it was well covered by some form of camouflage. The power of his chopper blades slightly blew the green covering off the vehicle, and Peter thought he’d seen a man lying down inside, a man with no shirt on, camouflage pants, and a bandanna wrapped around his head...Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the series of brutal spree murders throughout the Kimberley region in 1987, the unlikely helicopter pilot who located the killer, and the tactical police response that brought him down.Join our Patreon community for access to exclusive extra content:Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/truebluecrimeLink to one-off Supporter donations at the bottom of show notesWebsite - www.truebluecrimepodcast.com - includes our merch storeFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/380493356066315/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/truebluecrime/Email - truebluecrime@gmail.comThis episode was produced by True Blue Media using the open source materials referenced below: Crime Investigation Australia: The Kimberley Killerhttps://sites.google.com/site/ntpmhsociety/home/our-rich-history/timeline-and-events/major-crimes-and-investigations/kimberley-killer -by John Horswell, Australian Police JournalThe Kimberley killer, The Sunday Times March 05, 2007https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7101131/How-German-tourist-shot-dead-five-campers-Australias-End-kept-killing.htmlhttps://thewest.com.au/news/wa/josef-schwab-murder-spree-30-years-on-on-the-trail-of-a-killer-in-was-remote-north-ng-b88502609z The Sydney Morning Herald (Sydney, New South Wales, Australia) 17 Jun 1987, Wed Page 1The Sydney Morning Herald (Sydney, New South Wales, Australia) 21 Jun 1987, Sun Page 2 & 3The Sydney Morning Herald (Sydney, New South Wales, Australia)

We’re all guilty of following traditions without understanding why. For example, how do you recognize Samhain? — A Gaelic festival that’s more commonly known as Halloween. Today the GroWise Be Well team discusses what Halloween means to them and how they celebrate it. From Samhain to the Mexican Day of the Dead, we open the conversation by talking about how differently Halloween is celebrated across the cultural spectrum. For Lindsay, Halloween is a stepping-stone towards Christmas, an occasion that she prepares well in advance for. With a focus on Thanksgiving, we discuss the importance of questioning our traditions and who they serve. Kayli provides some insight into this, commenting on how she reimagines traditions so that they resonate with her. For some of the team, this can mean doing your spring cleaning during fall or replacing Thanksgiving with Mabon, a festival that happens one month earlier. We touch on how each team member experiences Halloween before exploring the German ‘wild women’ night of Hexennacht and how Hollywood has distorted the image of witches and voodoo. After chatting about our favorite Halloween movies — Hocus Pocus gets a mention — Sarah highlights this episode’s key theme which is to find the reason that you partake in traditions. And if they bring you joy, then that’s reason enough. Tune in to hear more on how the incredible team behind GroWise Be Well recognizes SamhainKey Points From This Episode:Comparing how people from different heritages celebrate October 31st. How Lindsay ties Halloween in with her Christmas preparations.

How the Pandemic has Disrupted B2B Marketing We venture overseas once again in this episode and have a thought-provoking conversation with B2B marketing veteran Michael Meier (Managing Director, Schindler Parent), who is based in southern Germany. In this episode, Michael talks about the importance of paranoia in order to stay competitive, how the current disruption motivates him, and how B2B marketers must be agile, embrace change, make every step they take measurable, and inject creativity into their work in order to reboot for growth post-pandemic. Topics discussed in this episode: Why brand matters in B2B businesses? What does ‘brand to people’ mean? [06:42 / 8:35] One advice to B2B is to find a solution to transform the traditional sales process to conduct global businesses with a smaller budget [17:26] How German government’s crisis management could potentially be applied to B2B marketing? [24:43] The new norm is to make every step trackable and measurable so that we can act on the analytics and insights [29:31] Resources & links mentioned in this episode: Michael Meier on LinkedIn Schindler Parent E3 Network Vorwerk Sappi Transcript SPEAKERS Christian Klepp, Michael Meier Christian Klepp  00:08 Hi and welcome to the B2B Marketers on a Mission podcast.

Then on the side, I'm president of the E3 Network have been that for nearly 10 years now and I'm Associate Professor, both of Germany and Switzerland teaching digital marketing. Apart from that I'm married three children, two of them still in university, one is just out. So it's an interesting phase in my life. Christian Klepp  02:11 That's quite the list of credentials, Michael. It's really interesting. Tell me what are you currently working on that you're very passionate about. I'm basically referring to the projects because you are clearly a very passionate person, but what's something that you've been working on lately, that's been very motivating. Michael Meier  02:30 We've just released a new website for our customer Vorwerk carpeting. They are one of the leading carpet manufacturers in Germany and they belong to the Vorwerk group. You might know Thermomix and some other products that they sell worldwide. And we've just built a new website for them, which is based on the principles of lead generation. We call it a lead generation engine and we have included a lot of interesting, little gimmicks for architects, interior designers and so on.

The 18th century ended with free speech in full retreat. With the French Revolution, the call for “Enlightenment Now!” was no longer seen as the harbinger of humanity’s inevitable march toward progress. It had become synonymous with radical forces of destruction drowning monarchy, tradition, and religion in the blood of kings, aristocrats, and nuns.  With the defeat of Napoleon in 1814, conservatives and monarchs were firmly back in power — and they had no intention of letting go. Never again were those rulers who put down wild-eyed revolutionaries like mad dogs going to allow radicals to seduce the people with lofty principles and propaganda. In order to rebuild a stabile Europe with respect for authority and tradition, freedom of speech had to be reined in. Even in supposedly liberal Britain, William Pitt’s anti-revolutionary “reign of terror” of the 1790s was revived and intensified in the 1810s and 20s. In this episode, we see how European rulers weaved an intricate web of censorship and repression across the continent. We will see: How the Congress of Vienna entrenched an authoritarian and traditionalist political order in Europe after the battle of Waterloo How the Carlsbad Decrees centralized preventive censorship and limited academic freedom across the German Confederation  How German writers like Heinrich Heine and Karl Marx fought an uphill battle against censorship and repression How European censorship was driven by a fear of the increasingly literate masses  How the British government used the crimes of seditious and blasphemous libel to harass and intimidate political radicals and reformers How the Peterloo Massacre of workers in Manchester radicalized opposition to the Tory government and intensified the calls for reform How the radical publisher Richard Carlile spent 10 years in prison for selling deist and republican publications, including Tom Paine’s “Age of Reason” How Carlile and his workers ultimately defeated the government with a constant stream of “seditious” and “blasphemous” publications, despite being imprisoned and harassed How James and John Stuart Mill contributed to expanding the British tolerance of controversial religious and political ideas as the 19th century progressed How the French Revolutions of 1830 and 1848 led to brief periods of liberal euphoria and the collapse of censorship across Europe, only to be crushed by counter-revolutionary forces How the Iron Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck used a national emergency to crush socialist and social democratic newspapers and publications in the second half of the 19th century How the idea of press freedom and the mechanization of the printing press made pre-publication censorship impossible for most governments How press freedom regained its momentum at the end of the 19th century Why have kings, emperors, and governments killed and imprisoned people to shut them up? And why have countless people risked death and imprisonment to express their beliefs? Jacob Mchangama guides you through the history of free speech from the trial of Socrates to the Great Firewall.

Mark then goes on to thank Patrons of the show as well as those who left comments on episode 84, and who were entered in a chance to win a copy of Patrick O'Donnell's book COPS AND WRITERS. Thanks to Amy Tasukada, Chad Boyer, MZ Lowe, and Vale Nagle for leaving comments. Also, thanks to Patrick O'Donnell for answering the police related questions. In their conversation Mark and Annette talk about: Annette's history as a translator since 1995 before she moved over into book translation, which she enjoys far more The importance of getting the emotion and the tension right in a literary translation (as opposed to legal document translation) Annette's own writing experience with contemporary romance fiction (English) which was self-published and the children's adventure fiction (in German) that has been picked up by a publisher How Annette initially started with a self-publishing services company that she later on found out charged almost $50 for the print book in the US - she managed to get out of that deal and published the book directly herself The size of the German book industry and the fact that eBooks might be as little as 5% of overall book sales Those magic words from a publisher who said to Anette: "I read your book and I couldn't put it down!" How a lot of the romance books on the market in Germany are translations from English A bit of a perspective on the size and reach of Tolino, a major eBook retailer in Germany What it's like for an author from Europe using an American platform for eBook publishing Why authors shouldn't use something like Google translate for translating their novel Subtle differences in the form of address in the German language (formal VS familiar) The genres that Annette works with and prefers to work with in her translation business Why she prefers to avoid horror and erotica translations as well as a preference for fiction over non-fiction The research that can be involved in doing a literary translation, particularly for historical fiction Examples of terms or services that aren't used or known in Germany - such as "Uber" - for example The importance of using the same translator when working through a book series in order to have a consistent style/voice How word of mouth is the most common way that authors and translators connect with one another Typical costs of translations, and Annettes current and lower fees of 3 cents per word How an English speaking/reading author would be able to determine if the translation is a quality one Some of the legal aspects associated with copyright on translations in Germany The fixed price laws for books in Germany and how that has allowed for the continued existence of both chain and independent bookstores in that country The continued popularity of thrillers and romance in the German book market How German readers are perfectly content with books that aren't set in Germany The value of the resources on the site indiesgogerman.com Mark then reflects on the subtle differences in languages, terms, and even different laws in different countries, provinces and states and how this can both be something that can harm a story (ie, an inaccurate overlooked detail), or it can be something that brings an additional depth and realistic richness to a story if used effectively.

My guest on today's podcast - Gary Taubes - just wrote a groundbreaking, eye-opening exposé entitled "" that makes the convincing case that sugar is the tobacco of the new millennium: backed by powerful lobbies, entrenched in our lives, and making us very sick. Among Americans, diabetes is more prevalent today than ever; obesity is at epidemic proportions; nearly 10% of children are thought to have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. And Gary believes sugar is at the root of these, and other, critical society-wide, health-related problems. In the book, he delves into Americans' history with sugar: its uses as a preservative, as an additive in cigarettes, the contemporary overuse of high-fructose corn syrup. He explains what research has shown about our addiction to sweets. He clarifies the arguments against sugar, corrects misconceptions about the relationship between sugar and weight loss; and provides the perspective necessary to make informed decisions about sugar as individuals and as a society. is cofounder and senior scientific advisor of the Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI). He's an award-winning science and health journalist, the author of The Case Against Sugar, Why We Get Fat and Good Calories, Bad Calories, and a former staff writer for Discover and correspondent for the journal Science. His writing has also appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, and Esquire, and has been included in numerous Best of anthologies, including The Best of the Best American Science Writing (2010). He has received three Science in Society Journalism Awards from the National Association of Science Writers. He is also the recipient of a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator Award in Health Policy Research. He lives in Oakland, California. During our discussion, you'll discover: -The difference between glucose and fructose, and how is that related to sucrose...[7:35] -Why the fructose we eat now is different than the fructose we find in nature...[14:20] -How German researchers discovered sugar to be just as as effective as "crack cocaine"...[21:10] -The fascinating marriage of tobacco and sugar, and why sugar is in cigarettes...[27:50] -How "metabolic imprinting" causes a baby's pancreatic cells to become dysfunctional...[33:35] -Why salt may not be the cause for hypertension, but sugar may...[44:00] -The relationship between sugar, gout and uric acid, and why gout and uric acid may not just be protein related...[47:10 & 57:00] -Why different people have different blood sugar responses to sugar...[49:20] -What Gary thinks of the fact that he's been called out on the fact that the NuSci metabolic ward research found no insulin-obesity link, and whether it's calories, not macronutrients, that are most important...[65:00] -And much more!

23 | Felix Hummel von Buzzbird | Influencer Marketing Felix Hummel ist wohl der größte YouTube Star, den ich bisher kenne: Zwei seiner bekanntesten Videos sind How animals eat their food und How German sounds compared to other languages. Zwei Videos, die weltweit bekannt sind und die ich echt gut finde. Was führte Felix zu Youtube Felix Hummel hat Film studiert und ist danach zum Fernsehen gegangen. Da hat er aber schnell gemerkt, dass das nichts für ihn ist: Das war ihm viel zu old fashioned. Er hat dann, nun vor fast vier Jahren, bei einem Google Pitch mitgemacht und den auch gewonnen. Daraufhin ist er von München nach Berlin gezogen und hat dort zwei Jahre lang den Channel https://www.youtube.com/user/OnkelBernisWelt produziert. Seit dem macht Felix Hummel Social Media und YouTube. Letztes Jahr hat er seinen Arbeitsvertrag gekündigt, um mit einem Freund, Andreas Türck, eine Firm zu gründen, die sich BuzzBird nennt. Dort hilft er Influencern auf YouTube, Instagram und Co. mit Brands in Verbindung zu kommen. Was macht einen Influencer aus? Influencer geben ihr Wissen in einem Gebiet an andere Menschen weiter; sie sind sozusagen Experten für ein Thema und beeinflussen über Social Media andere Menschen. Daher der Begriff "Influencer". Wichtig ist natürlich, dass die Marken, mit denen sich ein Influencer verbindet, auch zu ihm passen, sonst geht ziemlich schnell die Glaubwürdigkeit verloren. Und mit der Glaubwürdigkeit geht auch die Fangemeinde. Auch müssen natürlich von Anfang an die Fronten geklärt werden: Was erwartet der Influencer, was erwartet die Marke? Worauf muss man als Marke achten, wenn man einen Influencer sucht? Wie schon erwähnt, muss der Influencer thematisch gut zu meinem Produkt oder meiner Marke passen. Thema Glaubwürdigkeit! Außerdem wichtig: Zielgruppen-Targeting. Erreicht der Influencer die Zielgruppe, die ich auch als Marke erreichen möchte? Werden also die Leute angesprochen, die ich nachher auch als Kunden haben möchte? Dann kommt es auch darauf an, auf welchem Kanal sich der Influencer befindet, denn bestimmte Kampagnen laufen nicht überall gleich gut. Auf Instagram beispielsweise funktionieren Performance-Kampagnen nicht gut, da es immer noch keine klickbaren Links gibt, außer auf den Profilen. Youtube hingegen eignet sich super dafür, sowie auch Facebook. Was macht Felix Hummels Plattform BuzzBird? Auf BuzzBird können sich Influencer und Marken gegenseitig suchen und den passenden Partner finden. Er vermittelt "Influencer-Marketing". Das ist auch noch ziemlich billig im Vergleich zu beispielsweise Fernsehwerbung: ca. 23 € pro tausend Views bei YouTube und im einstelligen Bereich bei Instagram. Im Fernsehen können das schon mal 40 € TKP (Tausend-Kontakt-Preis) sein. Dabei kann ich beim Influencer-Marketing sehr viel präziser meine Zielgruppe erreichen als bei der Fernsehwerbung, was ein weiterer Vorteil ist. Warum überhaupt Influencer-Marketing nutzen? Man kann als Marke so zu sagen auf den Erfolg des Influencers mit auf springen, wenn man es geschickt macht. Bei hart umkämpften Keywords beispielsweise ist es richtig schwer, bei Google oder YouTube gut zu ranken. Sucht man sich aber einen passenden Influencer, der sowieso schon richtig viele Views hat, dann kann man in einem seiner Videos natürlich die Marke oder das Produkt gut platzieren und profitiert von der Bekanntheit. Felix Tipps für Social Media Anfänger Für YouTube zum Beispiel gilt: Produziert qualitativ hochwertigen Content wenn ihr längerfristig etwas aufbauen wollt! Lieber eine Nische suchen, die noch nicht gut besetzt ist und dort besser ein gutes Video pro Woche als fünf richtig schlechte veröffentlichen. Dabei müsst ihr auch nicht Unsummen für Equipment ausgeben, ein iPhone tut es auch. Wichtiger ist eine gute Idee und ein Konzept dahinter. Also erst mal hinsetzen und überlegen, bevor es los geht! Ganz gut ist auch, sich auf Plattformen zu konzentrieren, die gerade anfangen, groß zu werden. Da habt ihr noch die Chance, mit zu wachsen. Die Reichweite, die ihr dort erlangt, könnt ihr dann auch auf andere Plattformen rüber ziehen. Podcast ist übrigens auch gerade ein großes Thema, und gerade in Deutschland gibt es noch so viele Möglichkeiten, gute Podcasts zu machen, die groß werden können. Wenn ihr euch für Snapchat interessiert: Lest doch mal das kostenlose E-book "Snap me if you can" von Philip Steuer. Dort erfahrt ihr, wie Snapchat funktioniert und wie ihr Reichweite aufbauen könnt. Felix Hebel-Tipp Das Frühstück schon am Abend vorbereiten, damit man morgens mehr Zeit hat :) Und außerdem ein gutes Tool: Google Inbox. Ihr arbeitet euch einmal rein und spart euch dann ultra viel Zeit in der Bearbeitung eurer täglichen E-Mails.

How German adults behave at the carnival processions

How German can the Berliners get? Trust the info of your 1970 guidebook: the most German place in Berlin is the allotment. Allotments are green islands in the asphalt sea. Here, you can drink beer, work, put funny objects in your garden and obey funny rules. And you are free to do all this in your free time.
