DANKE für all die Jahr vo öichem zuelose. Heit nech fest Sorg u vergässet nid: es isch GUET GNUEG viu Liebi, Sarah Luisa
I Technokratin i dag: Investerarprofilerna Pär-Jörgen Pärson och Jane Walerud diskuterar vad som ligger i Elon Musks framtid och hur skadat hans namn blivit. Dessutom recenserar de Apples möjligheter i AI-kapplöpningen och rimligheten i att svenska Lovable kan vara på väg mot en värdering på över 14 miljarder kronor, ett halvår efter att de lanserade sin produkt.
In this electric episode of the Wrestling Mayhem Show, Sorg and Rizz welcome indie wrestling favorite Zeke Mercer back to the couch! The crew dives deep into a chaotic week in pro wrestling with a mix of serious takes and absurdity—exactly the way we like it. From R-Truth's epic return and fan-fueled redemption arc to nipple conspiracies and puppet spots, this show covers it all. Zeke shares behind-the-scenes insight into 880 Wrestling, their tag team ambitions, international opponents, and why Pittsburgh crowds cluster like shy raccoons. Plus, what Mr. Iguana's WWE moment says about cross-promotional chaos, and how multi-man matches are the new storytelling gold. Ron “The Truth” Killings' Return: The crew celebrates R-Truth's Money in the Bank surprise. Debates whether his release and return was a work. Agrees the fan support storyline felt organic and powerful. Touches on Carlito's missed spotlight and fan campaigns. Is Wrestling “Real”? The Hogan Fallacy: A philosophical and comical debate on separating wrestler personas from real-life identities. Sorg argues that Hulk Hogan didn't draw the house—Vince did. Wade Barrett and the Nipplegate Investigation: Discussion on Wade Barrett allegedly identifying El Grande Americano (Chad Gable) by his nipples. Zeke delivers a critical (and hilarious) response as a “nipple expert.” Mr. Iguana's Rise and WWE Merch: Mr. Iguana's AAA performance captures WWE fans' imaginations. Sorg reveals Iguana has merch and trading cards on WWE Shop. Talk of Iguana joining NXT's Chase U as a class pet ensues. WWE and AAA Crossovers: WWE's integration of AAA talent is praised. Talk about the difficulty of watching AAA shows legally. Hopes for more cross-promotional synergy. Modern WWE Match Style: Praise for the high-paced four-way and six-man matches in WWE lately. “Kinetic storytelling” as the new standard. Comparison to old IWC four-way tag classics that made stars. 880 Wrestling Talk: Zeke updates fans on the matriarchy tag team and upcoming international opponents. Discusses Penn Brewery's unique venue issues and crowd quirks. Talks 880's openness to experimentation and local buzz. AEW, WWE, and Indie Fans Online: Rant about fans critiquing everything online but not attending shows. Zeke points out fans should “put their phones down and go experience it.” Training and Schools with WWE IDs: Discussion on WWE promoting affiliated schools. Emphasis that it's never been easier to get into wrestling—at least in concept. Fan Identity & Tribalism in Wrestling: They discuss how wrestling fans love to hate—and how hate fuels the fire for characters like Zeke Mercer. Zeke encourages hate mail to be sent directly to 880 Wrestling's address.

Ungdomstiden er en sårbar oppdagelsesreise mellom barn og voksen. Når sorgen også blir en del av denne reisen, krever det særlig oppmerksomhet fra skolen. Sorg hos ungdom kan uttrykkes på måter vi voksne ikke alltid gjenkjenner. Sorg hos ungdom kan være både synlig og usynlig. Og ikke minst - når elever er særlig sårbare, slik mange er når sorgen rammer, så har skolen et spesielt ansvar for å støtte disse elevene. Det er en del av den lovpålagte aktivitetsplikten som følger av opplæringslova kapittel 12. Hvordan kan vi egentlig hjelpe ungdom å navigere i sorgen, samtidig som de navigerer i overgangen fra barn til voksen? I løpet av denne episoden vil vi snakke om alt fra ulike sorgreaksjoner til konkrete tiltak skolen kan iverksette.Dette er en episode for lærere, skoleledere, foreldre og alle som bryr seg om ungdom i sorg. I studio: Steinar Ekvik, prest, foredragsholder og forfatter av flere bøker om sorg Nils Jørgen Brynildsen, kundeoppfølger Veilederen og tidligere skoleleder Lisbeth Storvik Jacobsen, programleder og seniorrådgiver i Veilederen

Du wählst deine Gedanken, deine Energie, deine Taten und Entscheidungen. Doch es ist nicht leicht, die Energie und Gedanken in die eigenen Hand zu nehmen. So schnell lassen wir uns runterziehen, wenn etwas um uns herum nicht funktioniert, so schnell fressen sich alte Gedanken als Zweifel oder Glaubenssätze in unsere Welt hinein. Was wir brauchen ist ein Training. JE mehr wir uns ausrichten auf das, was gut ist und auf das, was wir wollen – umso leichter wird es. Darum gibt es mein Good Vibes Only Programm und darum gibt es heute – quasi als vorgezogenes Geburtstagsgeschenk – eine der Meditationen als Geschenk für dich.Hör sie, so oft du willst. Sorg dafür, dass dein Unterbewusstsein mit ihr geflutet wird. Du kannst sie beim Spazieren gehen oder beim Kochen, beim Träumen oder duschen hören. Ich hoffe, sie dient dir so wie mir. Lass gerne einen Kommentar auf www.gluecksplanet.com da und tagg mich auf Instagram oder schreib einen Kommentar auf Youtube, mit deiner Meinung. Die Meditation gehört zu meinem neuen Good Vibes Only Programm, mit dem du deine Energie ganz leicht positiv beeinflussen kannst. Schnapp es dir, es enthält außerdem noch Tappingeinheiten und einen 60-minütigen Workshop mit mir samt Coachingtechnik zum Thema. Außerdem verweise ich auf die Supplements und auf ätherische Öle .
