Ethereal Encounters Unveiled welcomes Michael Horn August 15th, 2025 Topic: The Billy Meier Prophecies & the Future of America PRE-RECORD About Michael Horn:Michael Horn has 44 years of experience as a science researcher and began his study and research into the UFO contacts of Billy Meier in 1979. In 1986, Michael found previously unknown warnings, originally published by Billy Meier beginning in 1951, about unnatural manmade climate change, global warming, the increased frequency and intensity of storms, blizzards, tsunamis, and the coming climate destruction. Michael also found that Mr. Meier was the first person to warn about the damage to the ozone layer from A-bomb explosions and about the connection between the extraction of petroleum and earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, all of which were subsequently scientifically corroborated. “Billy” Eduard Albert Meier was born on February 3, 1937, in Bülach/Zurich, Switzerland. NOTE: In addition to being the only scientifically proven UFO contactee, Billy Meier is the source of the most abundant, specific, prophetically accurate scientific and world event-related information. There are now well over 200 prophecies and predictions from Meier that have been corroborated. You can read more about Michael on his website at theyflyblog.com. https://theyflyblog.com/
Es ist ein episches Duell zwischen zwei Sportwagenmarken, die in ihren Heimatländern Markenikonen sind: Porsche und Ferrari. Der Zweikampf verläuft auf den Rennstrecken, auf den Straßen und natürlich in den Autosalons der Welt – und inzwischen scheint es einen eindeutigen Sieger zu geben. „Die weltweite Autoindustrie ist in der Krise – aber einer nicht, und das ist Ferrari“, sagt Lutz Meier, Capital-Experte für die Autobranche, der das Duell im Wirtschaftspodcast des Magazins analysiert. Den Italienern sei es gelungen, ihre traditionell niedrigen Stückzahlen mehr als zu verdoppeln und zugleich viermal mehr Gewinn zu machen, ein Siegeszug. „Ferrari wurde von Teilen der Öffentlichkeit als Luxus gewertet“, sagt Meier. „Und Luxus ist das, wo die Milliardäre dieser Welt ihr Geld reinstecken.“ Porsche hingegen konnte beim Schwenk zum Luxus nicht mithalten und verstrickte sich zudem in einer Elektroauto-Strategie, die die Volkswagen-Tochter jetzt zum Teil wieder rückgängig machen muss. „Es wurden enorme Fehler bei Porsche gemacht“, sagt Meier, der dabei vor allem darauf verweist, dass das erfolgreiche Verbrenner-Modell des Macan als Auslaufmodell behandelt wurde. Elektroautos werden bei vielen vermögenden Sportwagenkunden schlechter angenommen – und vor allem: Sie verlieren an Wert und lassen sich daher nicht als Anlageobjekt in der Garage aufbewahren. Wie Porsche jetzt nach einer neuen Strategie sucht und wie es am Ferrari-Sitz in Maranello aussieht, erklärt Meier im Podcast.Eine Produktion von RTL+ Podcast.Host: Nils Kreimeier.Redaktion: Lucile Gagnière.Produktion: Andolin Sonnen. +++Weitere Infos zu unseren Werbepartnern finden Sie hier: https://linktr.ee/diestundenull +++60 Tage lang kostenlos Capital+ lesen - Zugriff auf alle digitalen Artikel, Inhalte aus dem Heft und das ePaper.

It's part 2 of our dive into the Insect Apocalypse, with our good friend Dr. Jason Dombroskie from the Cornell University Insect Collection!In this part, Jason fills us in on the drivers of the Insect Apocalypse and - most importantly - what we can do about it.This episode was recorded on August 21, 2025 at Rattlesnake Hill Wildlife Management Area in Dalton, NY.. Episode NotesDuring the episode, we made the claim that 40 million acres of the US is lawn, and that that area is equal to all of the country's National Parks put together. True? Well, sort of. The claim that the U.S. has about 40 million acres of lawn—roughly equal to all our national parks combined—is only partly true. A NASA-funded study led by Cristina Milesi estimated that turfgrass covers about 128,000 km² (≈31 million acres) of the continental U.S., making it the largest irrigated “crop” in the country (Milesi et al., Environmental Management, 2005; NASA Earth Observatory). Later analyses and popular summaries often round that up to ≈40 million acres (e.g., Scienceline, 2011; LawnStarter, 2023). By comparison, the total land area of all officially designated U.S. National Parks is about 52.4 million acres, while the entire National Park System—which also includes monuments, preserves, and historic sites—covers about 85 million acres (National Park Service, 2024). So while lawns and parks occupy areas of similar magnitude, lawns do not actually equal or exceed the combined area of the national parks. Is it better to mulch leaves on your lawn or leave them be? Here's what we found: It's generally best to mulch your leaves with a mower rather than rake or remove them. Research from Michigan State University found that mowing leaves into small pieces allows them to decompose quickly, returning nutrients to the soil and reducing weeds like dandelions and crabgrass (MSU Extension, “Don't rake leaves — mulch them into your lawn”, 2012). Cornell University studies similarly show that mulched leaves improve soil structure, moisture retention, and microbial activity (Cornell Cooperative Extension, “Leaf Mulching: A Sustainable Alternative”, 2019). However, in garden beds, wooded edges, or under shrubs, it's often better to leave leaves whole, since they provide winter habitat for butterflies, bees, and other invertebrates that overwinter in leaf litter (National Wildlife Federation, “Leave the Leaves for Wildlife”, 2020). The ideal approach is a mix: mow-mulch leaves on grassy areas for turf health and leave them intact where they naturally fall to support biodiversity and soil ecology.

Künstliche Intelligenz verändert den Einzelhandel, aber noch weiß niemand so genau, wie. Das ist der gemeinsame Nenner von Saskia Meier-Andrae, Deutschland-Chefin von Ebay, und E-Commerce-Vordenker Alexander Graf.Zwischen Zuversicht und Skepsis zeichnet sich im Doppelpodcast eins ab: Der Handel steht vor einem Umbruch. Der Druck, nicht zum Passagier der Entwicklung zu werden, wächst. "Die größte Verschiebung gerade ist, dass keiner wirklich weiß, was passiert", sagt Graf. KI-Agenten, Tiktok-Shops und Chatbots sind ihm zufolge auf dem Vormarsch, erzeugen bisher aber keinen echten Umsatz. Das erzeugt Nervosität: "Was jetzt passieren könnte, ist eine richtige Aufbruchsstimmung, die aber sehr stark von Angst überlagert wird."Saskia Meier-Andrae hält kämpferisch dagegen. Sie und Ebay setzen KI etwa beim "Magical Listing" ein. Das erleichtert Verkäuferinnen und Verkäufern per Foto-Upload die Produkterstellung. Für die Managerin ist klar: "Jeder Retailer, der sich keine Strategien überlegt für verschiedene Szenarien, vor allem, was das Thema Shopping-Agenten angeht, schläft."Graf bleibt skeptisch: "Die Sachen, die ich gesehen habe in den letzten sechs bis zwölf Monaten, haben mich nicht überzeugt." Seine Warnung: Wer heute blind in KI investiert, läuft Gefahr, dieselben Fehler zu wiederholen wie damals bei Dash Buttons, Voice Commerce und Second Life. "Ich würde gerne jemanden finden, der jemals über sein Amazon Echo irgendwas nachbestellt hat."Trotz allem ist auch für ihn klar: Das klassische E-Commerce-Modell mit Suchmaske und Filtern stirbt aus. "Jetzt ist keine Happy Time in meiner Industrie", sagt Graf. Der nächste Kipppunkt? Kommt bald, meint Meier-Andrae: "Ich glaube, der Wandel wird kommen, er wird schneller kommen, als wir denken."Sie haben Fragen für Frauke Holzmeier und Andreas Laukat?

Upstate New York is arguably one of the most exciting craft beer scenes in the US, with tons of breweries across the state pumping out brews that attract thirsty drinkers in droves. One such brewery is Meier's Creek, with a gorgeous farmhouse brewery in Cazenovia, NY and a fun city location at Inner Harbor in Syracuse, NY. Director of Brewing Operations & Sales Jordan Pollock and Head Brewer Jimmy Hildreth joined Cee to chat about their storied craft beer histories, how the brewery started its life as Empire Brewing and the subsequent purchase that transformed it into Meier's Creek, their dedication to their flagships and how they get to know their beers, all things Oktoberfest, Jimmy's excitement around their haze program and where they plan to take it, the state of the industry in New York, how their environment plays into their products, and their upcoming brewery in Lake Placid, NY. They got into six Meier's Creek bangers - Floatin' On By Pilsner, Oktoberfest Festbier, Peakfinder NEIPA, Way Over Yonder West Coast IPA, Velvet Fog Hazy IPA, and Berry Man Fruited Sour. This was super fun - cheers! BAOS Podcast Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube | Website | Theme tune: Cee - BrewHeads

In this episode, Jacob sits down with Joshua Meier, co-founder of Chai Discovery and former Chief AI Officer at Absci, to explore the breakthrough moment happening in AI drug discovery. They discuss how the field has evolved through three distinct waves, with the current generation of companies finally achieving success rates that seemed impossible just years ago. The conversation covers everything from moving drug discovery out of the lab and into computers, to why AI models think differently than human chemists, to the strategic decisions around open sourcing foundational models while keeping design capabilities proprietary.

With a background in software engineering, data engineering, and data science, Josh has built his career around translating complex ideas for both technical and non-technical audiences. We talk with Josh about what it really means to teach AI in a world where anyone can ask ChatGPT for an instant answer. He explains why structured learning still matters, how to separate casual tinkering from business-ready skills, and why human guidance is essential in a space that changes every few weeks. We also dig into some of the more controversial headlines—AI “lying” to users, models “trying to escape,” and facial recognition being used for both good and harm—and ask how society should weigh innovation against the risks of misuse.
