Eigentlich heißt er Roger Osborne, aber genannt wird er Buzz.Im März 2024 ist er 60 Jahre alt geworden. Geboren ist er in Morton, aufgewachsen in Montesano, Washington.Nach seiner frühen Zuneigung für Hardrock kommt bald Punk dazu, bis Osborne ab 1983 die Dinge musikalisch selbst in die Hand nimmt und die Melvins gründet.Die Melvins haben sich seitdem zu einer unerschütterlichen, unfassbar einflussreichen, ultra-integren Institution entwickelt. Auf ihren bisher 28 Alben – die kooperativen mal außen vor – haben sie unter anderem Punk, Hardcore, Sludge, Doom, Drone, Noise, Avantgarde, Art-Rock, Heavy Metal, Thrash, Folk, Country, Ambient und mehr verquickt.Daneben ist oder war Osborne Teil der Supergroups Fantomas, Venomous Concept und Crystal Fairy.Und: Osbornes Gitarrenstil und die Musik der Melvins hatten – verbrieft – starken Einfluss auf Kurt Cobain, Adam Jones von Tool, Matt Pike von Sleep, Kim Thayil von Soundgarden, Brent Hinds und Bill Kelliher von Mastodon und Dylan Carlson von Earth.Beruflich ist er bei den Melvins mit Schlagzeuger Dale Crover liiert, privat seit 1993 mit Mackie Osborne, die seit 1994 für die meisten Melvins-Artworks verantwortlich ist.Mit ihr lebt der Golf-Fan und Drogen-Abstinenzler im Laurel Canyon bei Los Angeles mit einigen geretteten HundenAls King Buzzo hat Osbourne 2014 sein erstes Soloalbum veröffentlicht und 2020 ein weiteres mit Bassist Trevor Dunn.

A section of Tanjong Katong Road South collapsed, forming a sinkhole that swallowed part of the road and a car near an active sewer construction site. The driver was rescued with minor injuries — but the incident has sparked serious public concern. What causes a sinkhole to occur? What are the civil legal ramifications arising from this incident? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with David Ng, Chairman of the Civil & Structural Engineering Technical Committee at the Institution of Engineers, Singapore, to find out about the causes of the sinkhole. Hongbin Jeong also speaks with Daniel Tay, Director at BR Law Corporation, as he explains the legal implications of the sinkhole.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The custom among Ashkenazim is to refrain from shaving and haircutting throughout the three-week period of Ben Ha'mesarim, from Shiba Asar Be'Tammuz through Tisha B'Ab. Sepharadim, by contrast, observe this practice only during the week of Tisha B'Ab, from the Shabbat immediately preceding Tisha B'Ab until the 10 th of Ab. If a Sephardic boy is studying in an Ashkenazic yeshiva, where the majority of the students are refraining from shaving and haircutting already from Shiba Asar Be'Tammuz, he is nevertheless allowed to shave and take a haircut, until the week of Tisha B'Ab. However, it is preferable that he avoid doing so in order not to stand out. Hacham Ovadia Yosef writes about one who is stringent in this regard, "Tabo Alav Beracha" – he is worthy of special blessing. If a Sephardic student in an Ashkenazic institution has been accustomed to acting stringently, refraining from shaving and haircutting already from Shiba Asar Be'Tammuz, and now wishes to change his practice, he may perform Hatarat Nedarim (the annulment of vows). His acceptance of this practice constitutes a "vow," assuming he never explicitly said that he was taking on this practice "Beli Neder" – without making a formal vow. Thus, if he wishes to change his practice so he can shave or take a haircut during the Three Weeks (until the week of Tisha B'Ab), he should conduct Hatarat Nedarim in front of a Bet Din to have his commitment annulled. However, Hatarat Nedarim is required only if the student knew that this stringency was not strictly required by Halacha, and he had followed this practice as an additional measure of piety. If, however, he mistakenly thought that he must refrain from shaving and haircutting already from Shiba Asar Be'Tammuz, and he then learned that this is not required, then he may drop this stringent practice even without Hatarat Nedarim. Since this "vow" was taken on a faulty premise, as he erroneously assumed that Halacha requires him to refrain from shaving and haircutting, the "vow" is not binding, and he may therefore change his practice even without annulling his vow. Summary: Sephardic practice is to refrain from shaving and haircutting during the week of Tisha B'Ab. A Sephardic student studying in an institution where the majority of students are Ashkenazim – who refrain from shaving and haircutting already from Shiba Asar Be'Tammuz – may shave and take a haircut until the week of Tisha B'Ab, even though the other students refrain from doing so. Nevertheless, it is preferable him to refrain in deference to the Ashkenazic students. If he had observed this stringency and now wishes to act leniently, he may perform Hatarat Nedarim. If he had observed this stringency because he mistakenly thought it was Halachically required, then he does not need Hatarat Nedarim.

Im Streit um pro-palästinensische Proteste an der Columbia University zahlt die Institution 200 Millionen Dollar – und erhält im Gegenzug dafür wieder Bundesmittel. Die Universität gibt „kein Fehlverhalten zu“, räumt aber ein, dass „Reformen notwendig waren und sind“.

On this episode of Longevity by Design, Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Karl Pfleger, aging biotechnology investor and creator of AgingBiotech.info, to dissect the rapidly evolving field of aging therapeutics. Karl breaks down the sector into two main categories: interventions that slow aging rates versus rejuvenation strategies that repair accumulated damage.Karl highlights the most promising areas in his investment portfolio, including senolytics for clearing senescent cells and epigenetic reprogramming technologies. He explains why current aging clocks aren't ready for clinical use and discusses the limitations of popular interventions like GLP-1 drugs and fasting protocols. The conversation reveals that 14 Phase 3 clinical trials are currently testing core aging therapeutics.The discussion covers recent FDA approvals for ATTR treatments and stem cell therapies, signaling the field's maturation. Karl emphasizes that meaningful life extension requires a "divide and conquer" strategy, targeting multiple aging mechanisms simultaneously rather than relying on single interventions. Despite exciting therapeutic developments, he maintains that optimizing diet, exercise, and sleep remains the most impactful strategy for extending healthspan today.Guest-at-a-Glance

Woop! Woop! Das Bundesverfassungsgericht genießt, vermutlich als eine der letzten politischen Institutionen in Deutschland, großes Grundvertrauen in der Bevölkerung. Die aktuelle Debatte um die Richterwahl, angestoßen an der Kampagne von Rechts gegen Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf zeigt, dass auch diese Institution unter Angriff steht. Mit "Machtfaktor Karlsruhe" (Campus) hat Alexander Thiele das Buch der Stunde geschrieben. Darin erfahren wir warum Karlsruhe das mächtigste Verfassungsgericht der Welt ist, wer wie Richter dort werden kann und wie das Gericht zu Urteilen findet und welche Fehler es schon gemacht hat. Zudem spreche ich mit Milan Babić über die Transformation der Welt von der neoliberalen Globalisierung hin zur "Geoökonomie" (Suhrkamp). Enjoy!^^

Welcher Mechanismus führt zu einer fairen Aufteilung? Kuchenaufteilungsregel, Ultimatumspiel und Fairness. Mein neuer Spiegel-Bestseller: Fürstengeld, Fiatgeld, Bitcoin – Wie Geld entsteht, einen Wert bekommt und wieder untergeht : ►https://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASI... ►https://www.westarp-bs.de/978-3-92404... ►WEITERE INFORMATIONEN VON TEAM RIECK: 1. Hintergrund zur Richterwahl im Bundesverfassungsgericht Wie Richter bzw. Richterinnen gewählt werden: In Deutschland werden die Richter des Bundesverfassungsgerichts je zur Hälfte von Bundestag und Bundesrat gewählt. Dabei müssen sie eine Zweidrittelmehrheit erreichen, was Kompromissbereitschaft zwischen den Parteien erfordert. Aktueller Konflikt: Der im Video erwähnte Streit um eine SPD-Kandidatin zeigt, wie parteipolitische Interessen die Unabhängigkeit des Gerichts gefährden können. Früher wurden oft konsensuale Kandidaten gewählt, um die Neutralität des Gerichts zu wahren. 2. Spieltheorie & Fairness-Mechanismen Ultimatumspiel: Ein klassisches Experiment, das zeigt, wie Menschen mit unfairen Angeboten umgehen. In westlichen Kulturen werde viele Angebote unter 50% abgelehnt, obwohl es teilspielprfekt wäre, jedes Angebot anzunehmen. Teilspielperfektes Gleichgewicht: Eine strengere Form des Nash-Gleichgewichts, bei der Spieler auch in allen „Teilspielen“ rational handeln müssen. Dies begünstigt oft kurzfristig egoistischere Strategien. Rubinstein-Verhandlungsmodell: Ein theoretischer Ansatz für abwechselnde Angebote, der im politischen Kontext aber kaum anwendbar ist, da ein langer verhandlungsprozes nich vermitelbar wäre. 3. Vergleich mit anderen Systemen USA: Supreme-Court-Richter werden oft stark politisch nominiert (z. B. durch den Präsidenten), was zu langfristiger Polarisierung führt. Skandinavische Länder: Häufig werden unabhängige Juristen durch Expertengremien ausgewählt, um politische Einflussnahme zu minimieren. 4. Lösungsansätze für faire Richterwahl Zufallsauswahl aus unabhängigen Kandidaten: Würde politische Einflussnahme verringern, könnte aber zu inkompetenten oder extremen Kandidaten führen. Super-Mehrheitserfordernis (wie aktuell in Deutschland): Erzwingt Kompromisse, funktioniert aber nur, wenn Parteien Fairness priorisieren. Externe Nominierungskommission: Eine unabhängige Institution könnte Kandidaten vorschlagen, die fachlich qualifiziert und neutral sind. Das veschiebt das problem aber nur um eine Spielstufenah vorn. ►WEITERES VON CHRISTIAN RIECK: ○YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ProfRieck?s... ○Instagram: / profrieck ○Twitter: / profrieck ○LinkedIn: / profrieck #profrieck #brosiusgersdorf #verfassungsgericht Links könnn Affilate-Links sein, bei denn kleine Provisionen gezahlt werden.

Ref.: Tobias Haberl, Autor und Journalist beim Magazin der Süddeutschen Zeitung Als Tobias Haberl sich vor zwei Jahren mit seinem Essay "Unter Heiden" im Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin als gläubiger Katholik outete, ahnte er nicht, welche Flut an Reaktionen er mit seinem Bekenntnis entfesseln würde: An die 500 dankbare Zuschriften erreichten den Journalisten in Form von Emails, Briefen und Päckchen. Einladungen zu Interviews und Talks folgten. Den Reporterpreis gab es noch dazu. Haberl war ebenso überrascht wie seine Redaktion: Offensichtlich hatte er einen Nerv getroffen. In seinem gleichnamigen Buch hat Haberl nun nachgelegt und schildert ehrlich seinen persönlichen Weg zurück in die Kirche seiner Kindheit. Gleichzeitig ist "Unter Heiden" so etwas wie ein Aufschrei: Wie kann es sein, dass das reiche christliche Erbe in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung so vollständig unter den Missbrauchsskandalen begraben wurde? Warum scheint ausgerechnet die westliche Öffentlichkeit geradezu darauf versessen, die Wurzeln der eigenen kulturellen Tradition zu kappen? Und warum fordert man so forsch von einer 2000 Jahre alten Institution, sich an den Zeitgeist anzupassen, statt dass der Zeitgeist sich fragt, ob es vielleicht von einer so langlebigen Einrichtung wie der Kirche etwas zu lernen gäbe...?

US-Präsident Trump will, dass die Notenbank Fed die Zinsen senkt. Aber der Fed-Chef, Jerome Powell, will erstmal abwarten, ob durch Trumps Zölle die Inflation steigt. Der: wütet. Und erwägt offensichtlich, die Notenbank unter seine Kontrolle zu bringen, indem er Powell durch einen ihm passenden Kandidaten ersetzt. Er sägt also an der Unabhängigkeit der Institution - und das könnte krasse wirtschaftliche Folgen für die USA haben.

Der Begriff "Monetative" wird in der Diskussion um die Reform des Geldsystems verwendet. Dahinter steht die Idee, eine vierte Gewalt im Staat zu schaffen, die sich ausschließlich mit der Geldschöpfung und der Geldpolitik beschäftigt. Diese Idee wird neben den drei klassischen Staatsgewalten (Legislative, Exekutive, Judikative) positioniert, um die zentrale Kontrolle und Verwaltung des Geldsystems zu gewährleisten. Wesentliche Aspekte hinter dem Begriff "Monetative": 1. Unabhängige Institution: Die Monetative soll als unabhängige Institution agieren, die direkte politische Einflussnahme ausschließt. Dies soll die Stabilität und Integrität des Finanzsystems bewahren. 2. Geldschöpfung: In vielen bestehenden Systemen wird ein Großteil des Geldes durch private Banken über Kredite geschaffen. Eine Monetative würde hingegen die Geldschöpfung vollständig in die Hände einer öffentlichen Institution legen. 3. Geldpolitik: Die Monetative wäre verantwortlich für die Geldpolitik, also die Regulierung der Geldmenge und die Sicherstellung der Preisstabilität. Dies beinhaltet das Festlegen von Zinssätzen und anderer geldpolitischer Instrumente. 4. Zielsetzung: Die Hauptziele einer Monetative umfassen die Förderung wirtschaftlicher Stabilität, die Vermeidung von Inflation und Deflation sowie die Sicherstellung eines nachhaltigen und gerechten Finanzsystems. Die Idee der Monetative wird von Befürwortern als ein Mittel zur Lösung von Problemen wie finanzieller Instabilität, exzessiver Verschuldung und ungleicher Vermögensverteilung betrachtet. Insgesamt stellt die Monetative eine alternative Vision für die Strukturierung und Verwaltung des Geldsystems dar, mit dem Ziel, mehr Transparenz, Stabilität und Fairness zu erreichen. Was hältst du von der Idee der Monetative als vierte Staatsgewalt? Wenn du magst, schreibe mir gerne eine Nachricht über mein Kontaktformular.

Die BayWa ist eine Institution in Bayern. In der Landwirtschaft ist der Agrar- und Handelskonzern tief verwurzelt. Vor einem Jahr allerdings wurde aus dem Traditionsunternehmen ein Sanierungsfall. Mit der Folge, dass die BayWa sich neu aufstellen muss. Das heißt auch: Mindestens 1.300 Mitarbeiter verlieren ihren Arbeitsplatz, 26 Standorte will der Konzern schließen. Für viele Landwirte bedeutet es, sie müssen längere Wege in Kauf nehmen, wenn sie ihre Getreideernte lagern wollen. BR Recherche zeichnet nach, wie es zu dieser Unternehmenskrise kommen konnte.

A crypto enthusiast once wrote on Reddit, “Bitcoin is like winning the lottery in slow motion.” That might be a stretch, but one thing's clear: Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies aren't going anywhere. Today, Mark Biller joins us to unpack how crypto is moving into the mainstream and what that means for investors trying to make wise decisions.Mark Biller is Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.Two Big Takeaways for Crypto InvestorsHere are two key insights to help investors make sense of today's crypto market:Bitcoin Stands Apart – It's critical to understand that Bitcoin is not like the rest of the crypto world. It has emerged as a unique and dominant force, with widespread adoption, while other cryptocurrencies remain highly speculative. Bitcoin Has Reached Critical Mass – Thanks to regulatory shifts and institutional adoption, Bitcoin seems to be here to stay. In just a few years, we've gone from government hostility toward crypto to SEC-approved Bitcoin ETFs and even a pro-crypto administration in the White House.Bitcoin was the original cryptocurrency, launched in 2008, and today it represents about 60% of the entire crypto market. It's gained institutional interest and widespread regulatory acceptance. By contrast, the remaining 40% of the crypto universe is fragmented, filled with thousands of projects, many of which will not survive.Think of most other cryptos not as currencies but as startup tech ventures. That helps frame their high risk and their potential for failure. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has arrived. The rest? They're still trying to prove themselves.Bitcoin as an Investment: What's Changed?Many early Bitcoin advocates hoped it would serve as a usable currency outside of traditional financial systems. But that vision has mostly faded. Today, most investors treat Bitcoin like digital gold—a store of value designed to hedge against inflation and the devaluation of fiat currencies.It's volatile, yes. But its built-in scarcity (only 21 million bitcoins will ever exist) appeals to those who fear government overreach or reckless monetary policy. Bitcoin's not just for tech enthusiasts anymore—it's becoming a strategic asset for serious investors.Generational preferences also shape Bitcoin's rise. Younger investors, raised in a digital world of apps and virtual marketplaces, are far more comfortable with digital assets. What gold has long been to older generations, Bitcoin is becoming to younger ones: a hedge against inflation and a symbol of financial independence.In fact, Bitcoin's correlation with gold has grown significantly in recent years, signaling that institutions are viewing it in similar terms.Institutions and Even Nations Are Paying AttentionIt's not just individuals diving into Bitcoin. Global events—especially the 2022 freezing of Russian reserve assets—have prompted many nations to reassess their reliance on U.S. Treasury bonds. The result? A surge in gold buying by central banks, and increasing openness to alternatives like Bitcoin among private investors.While governments aren't yet buying Bitcoin, there's reasonable evidence to suggest that gold investors are starting to “skate to where the puck is going,” diversifying small portions of their portfolios into Bitcoin as a forward-looking strategy.With that being said, should we be concerned about the global shift away from U.S. treasuries?Not immediately. While a shift away from U.S. Treasuries could eventually raise interest rates and borrowing costs, the dollar still holds dominant status in global transactions. But it's a trend worth watching. It's a slow-motion problem—more of a simmer than a flashpoint.So…Should You Invest in Bitcoin?It depends. Investors with a strong risk tolerance and a positive outlook on gold might allocate a small portion (less than 5%) of their portfolio to Bitcoin or Bitcoin ETF's. The key is position sizing—keeping it small due to Bitcoin's extreme volatility.However, we want to be crystal clear: this only applies to Bitcoin, not to the rest of the crypto space, which still carries a high risk of going to zero.If you're curious to explore more, check out the full article, Bitcoin (& Crypto) Go Mainstream: What You Need To Know, at SoundMindInvesting.org. The SMI team also offers a Bitcoin-inclusive ETF for those looking to dip a toe into this asset class as part of a broader, biblically informed strategy.At the end of the day, financial stewardship isn't about chasing trends—it's about making wise, measured decisions rooted in truth. And with the right knowledge, even complex topics like crypto can be approached with confidence.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I currently have about $1 million in an active 401(k) with a major financial institution. I'd like to transfer those existing funds to another custodian, where I can earn a guaranteed interest rate. However, I also want to continue contributing to my current 401(k) through my employer, taking on more investment risk with those new contributions. Is that possible?My husband and I live with my father-in-law, and the house needs some repairs. He's offered to loan us the money from his retirement account to cover the costs, but he's asking us to help pay the taxes he would owe on the distribution. Is that a wise arrangement?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Bitcoin (& Crypto) Go Mainstream: What You Need To Know by Mark Biller (Sound Mind Investing Article)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Today,we will go back to Luke 22:17-20. It was when the Passover meal was drawing toa close (Matthew 26:25; Luke 22:20) that Jesus instituted the ordinance thatthe church calls "The Communion" (1 Cor. 10:16), or "The Lord'sSupper" (1 Cor. 11:20), or "The Eucharist," from the Greek wordwhich means "to give thanks." ThePassover feast opened with a prayer of thanksgiving, followed by the drinkingof the first of four cups of wine. We believe that this wine was diluted withwater and was not intoxicating. Next they ate the bitter herbs and sang Psalms113-114. Then they drank the second cup of wine and began eating the lamb andthe unleavened bread. After drinking the third cup of wine, they sang Psalms115-118; and then the fourth cup was passed among them. It is likely thatbetween the third and fourth cups of wine, Jesus instituted the Supper. Paulgave the order of the Supper in 1 Corinthians 11:23-26. First, Jesus broke apiece from the unleavened loaf, gave thanks, and shared it with the disciples,saying that it represented His body which was given for them. He then gavethanks for the cup and shared it, saying that it represented His blood. It wasa simple observance that used the basic elements of a humble Jewish meal. Jesussanctified the simple things of life and used them to convey profound spiritualtruths. Jesusstated one of the purposes for the Supper: "in remembrance of Me" (v.19: also see 1 Cor. 11:24-25). It is a memorial feast to remind the believerthat Jesus Christ gave His body and blood for the redemption of the world.There is no suggestion in the accounts of the Supper that anything"miraculous" took place when Jesus blessed the bread and the cup. Thebread remained bread and the wine remained wine, and the physical act ofreceiving the elements did not do anything special to the eleven disciples.When we partake, we identify ourselves with His body and blood (1 Cor. 10:16),but there is no suggestion here that we receive His body and blood. Asecond purpose for the supper is the proclaiming of His death until He returns(1 Cor. 11:26). The Supper encourages us to look back with love and adorationto what He did for us on the cross and to look forward with hope andanticipation to His coming again. Since we must be careful not to come to theLord's table with known sin in our lives, the Supper should also be an occasionfor looking within, examining our hearts, and confessing our sins (1 Cor.11:27-32). Athird blessing from the Supper is the reminder of the unity of the church: weare "one loaf" (1 Cor. 10:17). It is "The Lord's Supper"and is not the exclusive property of any Christian denomination. Whenever weshare in the Supper, we are identifying with Christians everywhere and arereminded of our obligation to "keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond ofpeace" (Eph. 4:3). Forus to receive a spiritual blessing from the Supper, it takes more than merephysical participation. We must also be able to "discern the body" (1Cor. 11:29), that is, see the spiritual truths that are inherent in the breadand the cup. This spiritual discernment comes through the Spirit using theWord. The Holy Spirit makes all of this real to us as we wait before the Lordat the table. Followingthe instituting of the Supper in the Upper Room, Jesus taught His disciplesmany of the basic truths they desperately needed to know in order to haveeffective ministries in a hostile world (John 14-16). He prayed for Hisdisciples (John 17); then they sang a hymn and departed from the Upper Room forthe Garden of Gethsemane. Judas knew they would go there and he would have thearresting officers all prepared. Asyou review this passage, you cannot help but be impressed with the calmness andcourage of the Savior. It is He who is in control, not Satan or Judas or theSanhedrin. It is He who encourages the Apostles! And He is able even to sing ahymn before He goes out to die on a cross!

"The Purpose of Marriage" is a divine mystery that reflects Christ's love for the church. In this episode, Duane Sheriff teaches the divine purpose of marriage and its connection to the gospel. There is a compelling parallel between traditional marriage and our spiritual union with Jesus. Marriage is not simply a contract or social institution. It is a divine institution that reflects Christ's love for the church. Today's culture and many churches often fail to grasp the true purpose of marriage. Understanding the connection between marriage and our relationship with Christ is essential to our spiritual growth.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/the-purpose-of-marriage/

Mike explains how God calls every human being to unity with him. No matter our vocations, we must surrender our lives to the Lord and participate in the priestly, prophetic, and kingly offices of Christ. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 934-945.
