CLOSE OF THE COLD WAR:     1/4: The Picnic:A Dream of Freedom and the Collapse of the Iron Curtain by  Matthew Longo  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Picnic-Dream-Freedom-Collapse-Curtain/dp/0393540774/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= In August 1989, a group of Hungarian activists organized a picnic on the border of Hungary and Austria. But this was not an ordinary picnic―it was located on the dangerous militarized frontier known as the Iron Curtain. Tacit permission from the highest state authorities could be revoked at any moment. On wisps of rumor, thousands of East German “vacationers” packed Hungarian campgrounds, awaiting an opportunity, fearing prison, surveilled by lurking Stasi agents. The Pan-European Picnic set the stage for the greatest border breach in Cold War history: hundreds crossed from the Communist East to the longed-for freedom of the West. Drawing on dozens of original interviews―including Hungarian activists and border guards, East German refugees, Stasi secret police, and the last Communist prime minister of Hungary―Matthew Longo tells a gripping and revelatory tale of the unraveling of the Iron Curtain and the birth of a new world order. Just a few months after the Picnic, the Berlin Wall fell, and the freedom for which the activists and refugees had abandoned their homes, risked imprisonment, sacrificed jobs, family, and friends, was suddenly available to everyone. But were they really free? And why, three decades since the Iron Curtain was torn down, have so many sought once again to build walls? Cinematically told, The Picnic recovers a time when it seemed possible for the world to change. With insight and panache, Longo explores the opportunities taken―and the opportunities we failed to take―in that pivotal moment. 1956 BUDAPEST

Make sure that you visit Holley.com to place your speed parts orders - and THANK THEM for continuing on as the Title Sponsor of the KF Show!  ======================================== Dukes Review: It's been three years since I last saw this episode, and I still get sick to my stomach when the General Lee gets stolen and brainwashed by the bad guys, then tries to murder the Dukes even though they all nearly get themselves killed trying to save him. Luke fights two guys to the death basically, and Bo is nearly smeared by a train at the same time. But just like last time we reviewed this if it weren't for the miniature stunt - which thankfully were minimal - this episode would be an 11 out of 10. The General gets turned into a remote controlled car, set to detail a train full of money with a load of dynamite in the trunk. Boss Hogg was behind the scheme of course, but the Dukes came back and nearly fought to the death to protect the most important their lives: their honor? No. Their fortune? No? Their reputation? NO! It was their car! We have all learned this life lesson, and like them we all know that cars have a soul, need to be protected, and need to be fought for. I give this episode - 10 Corndogs, of which are Season 7 Corndogs, which do not have an equivalent exchange rate to say Season 2 or something. So 10 dogs here is basically the equivalent of 6.5 in years past. Show Rating: 10 (Season 7) Corndogs Show Rating: 8 Corndogs!

Why This Episode Is a Must-Listen What does your watch mean to you? For many, a timepiece is much more than a tool—it's a bridge between generations, a celebration of achievement, and a lasting legacy. In this episode of Inspired Money, we go beyond the basics of watch collecting to explore why watches become treasured family heirlooms, how to build collections that stand the test of time, and what every collector (from beginner to seasoned expert) should know in today's evolving market. If you're passionate about craftsmanship, storytelling, or the idea of passing something meaningful onto future generations, this episode is for you. Meet the Expert Panelists Paul Boutros is Deputy Chairman and Head of Watches, Americas at Phillips, where he helped build the auction house's powerhouse watch department after joining in 2014. A lifelong watch enthusiast with a background in electrical engineering, he led the record-breaking sale of Paul Newman's Rolex Daytona for $17.8 million, solidifying his reputation as one of the foremost experts in vintage timepieces. https://www.phillips.com Stephen Pulvirent is a writer, photographer, and creative director whose career has spanned leading roles at Hodinkee, Bloomberg, and Surface Media. Now based in Los Angeles, he is the founder of Rime & Reason, a creative agency helping global brands tell smarter, culture-driven stories, while also pursuing his passion for fine art photography. Stephen is also the cofounder of The Enthusiasts, a podcast and newsletter about the culture of watch collecting. https://stephenpulvirent.com Tariq Malik is the founder of Momentum, the Middle East's premier destination for vintage and collectible watches located in heart of Dubai's financial district. Driven by his deep passion for rare Day Date models, both as curator and collector he has developed a focused expertise that has made him a leading authority in this field. A lifelong enthusiast who began dealing Swatch watches at 16, Tariq has grown into a respected global voice in the vintage watch community while playing a pivotal role in establishing Dubai as a significant hub for vintage timepieces. https://momentum-dubai.com Dan Spitz is a third-generation Master Watchmaker and former lead guitarist of the award-winning thrash metal band Anthrax. With Swiss and American degrees in watchmaking and micro-mechanical engineering, Dan's illustrious career includes roles as the Head Master Watchmaker of Complications Specialist for Chopard, instructor, and juror for the prestigious GPHG awards. https://danspitz.com https://www.delraybeachwatchmaker.com Key Highlights: 1. Storytelling & Legacy in Watch Collecting Stephen Pulvirent explores why watches are more than just mechanical objects—“it's the stories that watches carry, the stories we tell ourselves about the watches we own and the roles they play in our lives that elevates them beyond ordinary, everyday things and makes them special objects.” Collectors aren't just building assets but capturing lifetimes of meaning that can be passed on for generations. 2. The Restoration Craft: Preserving Memories Dan Spitz demystifies the watchmaker's role in bringing legacy timepieces back to life. He shares moving stories of clients reconnecting emotionally with watches once thought beyond repair: “Some of them cry. You can see they want to reach out and hug me, and that's why I do what I do.” Restoration isn't just about function—it's about reviving memories and enabling the handover of treasures between generations.  3. Authenticity, Transparency, and Investment Smarts Paul Boutros provides insider guidance on buying for love, not just investment. He stresses the importance of authenticity, craftsmanship, and reputation: “Buy the best quality watches at the price level that you can afford… made by great brands who have pushed the state of the art.” Whether for legacy or potential appreciation, collecting watches well is about informed passion, not quick returns.  4. From Teenage Trader to Dubai Authority Tariq Malik recounts how Swatch trading as a teenager evolved into a global vintage watch business. His journey underscores the importance of transparency, relationship-building, and quality when buying or selling a timepiece. “Today it's a lot about the value, but the real richness is in the connection you have with the watch and its story.” Call-to-Action This week, pick one watch—whether you wear it daily or have it tucked away—and write down the story you want it to tell. Is it a symbol of achievement, a family heirloom, or an inspiration for the future? Share that story with someone you care about, or reflect on how your collection can become a living legacy.

Visit our Substack for bonus content and more: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/susan-magsamen-and-ivy-ross In school, art is often positioned in curricula as an enrichment subject, not a core skill like math or language arts. But those of us who pursue the arts instinctually recognize that there is something in creative expression that is foundational to the human experience. Susan Magsamen, executive director of the International Arts + Mind Lab at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, has spent years studying the effect art has on our mind and body. Her research is surfacing profound health and longevity benefits created through poetry, music, painting, and other arts. Susan recently collaborated with Ivy Ross, Chief Design Officer for Consumer Devices at Google, to co-author a fascinating book called Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us. We speak with Susan and Ivy about how they found their way into collaborating on the book, why we are “wired for art,” how practicing art can actually extend your lifespan significantly, and how they bring the ideas in their book into their work to reduce stress and help teams perform at their peak. Bios Ivy Ross Ivy Ross is the Vice President of Hardware Design at Google, where she led the creation of the award-winning design language for Google's hardware products. With a background spanning executive roles at Calvin Klein, Swatch, Coach, Mattel, and Gap, Ivy blends design, science, and psychology to drive innovation. Her work has earned over 240 design awards, and she has been recognized by Fast Company, Business Insider, and Surface magazine as a creative leader. A former jewelry designer with works in major museum collections, she is also a sought-after speaker and contributor to books on creativity, leadership, and design. Susan Magsamen Susan Magsamen is the founder and executive director of the International Arts + Mind Lab at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and co-director of the NeuroArts Blueprint with the Aspen Institute. With over four decades of work at the intersection of the arts and neuroscience, she has developed tools and programs to support health, learning, and social equity through aesthetic experiences. A published author and entrepreneur, Susan also founded Curiosityville and Curiosity Kits, and has advised numerous organizations across public health, education, and the arts. *** Premium Episodes on Design Better This ad-supported episode is available to everyone.

The sustainable construction revolution continues to gather momentum, with mass timber leading the charge toward a greener built environment. Fresh research from Edinburgh Napier University confirms what many in the industry have long championed – mass timber buildings produce 50% less carbon emissions than conventional construction methods, easily exceeding RIBA's 2025 targets for whole-life carbon performance.Texas architecture firm Corrigan has stepped up with a game-changing sustainability calculator specifically designed for mass timber projects. This innovative tool helps architects accurately estimate biogenic carbon emissions, providing crucial data for environmentally conscious design decisions. Meanwhile, in Toronto, an ambitious new residential tower is set to demonstrate the remarkable efficiency of prefabricated timber construction. The 230 Royal York project will rise approximately 30 metres in a mere 90 days – a testament to how advanced timber engineering is transforming construction timelines.The creative potential of engineered timber continues to evolve in spectacular ways. We revisit the stunning Shigeru Ban-designed Swatch headquarters with its 4,600 unique glulam elements forming a sinuous, organic structure that defies conventional expectations of timber architecture. Equally impressive is the floating groin vault ceiling created by University of Bath researchers using just four large CLT panels – showcasing how mass timber can achieve complex architectural forms previously considered impossible with wood. Don't forget to check our LinkedIn feed for images of these remarkable projects and stay tuned for next week's announcement about the Build the Impossible Rothoblast competition for 2025!Send us a textSupport the show

In drei bis fünf Jahren sollen die EU-Staaten militärisch so stark aufgerüstet haben, dass Russland keinen Angriff mehr wagt und die Ukraine die nötigen Sicherheitsgarantien erhält, um als unabhängiges Land der EU beizutreten. Wie die EU diese Ziele erreichen kann, hat sie nun detailliert dargelegt. Weitere Themen: Der weltgrösste Uhrenkonzern, die Swatch Group, hat letztes Jahr deutlich weniger Uhren und Schmuck verkauft. Vor allem in China ging das Geschäft stark zurück. Swatch setzt deshalb zunehmend auf den amerikanischen Markt, trotz politischer Unsicherheiten. Die SVP verlangt mit einer Volksinitiative, dass die Bevölkerung der Schweiz nicht auf 10 Millionen Einwohnerinnen und Einwohner ansteigt. Wäre das bis 2050 dennoch der Fall, müsste die Personenfreizügigkeit mit der EU gekündigt werden. Ein Gegenvorschlag der anderen Parteien kommt kaum zustande.

Lyss: Niemand will Gemeindepräsident Stefan Nobs bei den Wahlen herausfordern; Biel: Tag der offenen Tür beim Hotel Artist am Sonntag

Japan's digital watches massively disrupted the Swiss watch market. So, an entry level fashion watch is created to save the day. Swatch! Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us. But we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients, so here's one of those. [Waukee Feet Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Realtors podcast. Dave Young here alongside Stephen Semple. And as usual, Stephen has whispered the topic into my ear as the five-second countdown commenced. So, I have three seconds to come up with my initial reaction to the brand is that we're going to discuss. And my recollection for this one is ... Let me tell you what it is first. It's Swatch. Remember the watches? And my recollection of it is they were just too damn cool for me. Stephen Semple: I mean, you're not a fashionista, Dave? Dave Young: I never have been. But here's the thing. I think by the time ... you'll have to fill in the dates here, but I think by the time I got out of college and was making my way in small market radio, the point of having fashionable timepieces on your wrist, which is ... was like, "That's just too cool for me. No." I recognize it as a cool idea that was going to make somebody a gazillion dollars. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: But it wasn't going to be my dollars that got it done. Stephen Semple: Well, you're somewhat accurate, and somewhat aren't because I believe that we are around the same age. I might be a tick older, but it was fall of 82 when Swatch was launched, but they became really big, late eighties, early nineties. Dave Young: So, yeah, I graduated college in 84, and so, yeah, by the late eighties ... and remember, I was in Western Nebraska. Stephen Semple: And there was no Amazon. Dave Young: Dude, Gone With the Wind has just now arrived at theaters in Western Nebraska. When you think about the good old days, they haven't even hit Western Nebraska yet. They're still waiting. So, go ahead. Stephen Semple: As I got looking at Swatch, here's the thing that's really remarkable about Swatch is how much they changed the watch industry. It is an idea that was remarkable because not only did it change the watch industry, it saved the Swiss watch industry. Dave Young: Oh, I believe it. Yeah. Stephen Semple: The change that came about was incredible. If we go back pre-Swatch, the idea of a watch is it was a single purchase item. Dave Young: There's a time ... yeah. Stephen Semple: People own one wristwatch. Dave Young: Yeah, and you decided, do you want a leather watch band or one of those metal expandy ones? Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Which watch guy are you? Stephen Semple: Right. And Rolex, for example, was not even a high-end luxury product at that time. It was an expensive watch, but it was not a luxury watch. It was not an aspirational one. And it's really interesting. Even if you take a look at Rolex's advertisements from the seventies versus the ones 2000 and on, they're a very, very different feel. One was it's rugged, and you can use it, and they aligned with certain sports such as diving and things along that lines. You look at how it's positioned today, and it's a fashion statement. Dave Young: Yeah, I see that. Stephen Semple: It's very, very different. In 10 years following the launch of Swatch, they became the largest watch brand on the planet. Dave Young: Well, I'm sure we're going to hear about tons of imitators. And they hit right in that slice of time. There's a couple of decades,

How Steve Glue made 4 Million giving the people what they wanted by beating the system; and how Pez ran him out of the business. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is... Well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [ASAP Commercial Doors Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast, Dave Young here with Stephen Semple and part two of the PEZ story. We're going to talk about the PEZ collectibles, the whole frenzy. Stephen, I'm going to turn it over to you because I'm fascinated with this. I did just 30 seconds worth of Googling, and yeah, there are PEZ dispensers that are worth bucks out there. Stephen Semple: And the whole collectibles and the PEZ story is crazy. And as we know, the '90s is when this whole idea of collectibles just took off. You had Swatch watches come onto the market, and in fact, stay tuned, we're going to do an episode on Swatch. Swatch is probably going to end up becoming one of my favorite all time stories. So Swatch is going to be coming up. Because as I was going down this whole collectibles thing, it opens other doors. But you had Beanie Babies and you had Pokemon, and of course, PEZ. And PEZ is so popular that it ended up being on the cover of the Forbes magazine edition on collectibles. And people who collect PEZ dispensers call themselves PEZ heads. And one of the biggest people in the space is a guy whose name is Stephen Glew, who's also known as the PEZ Outlaw. Dave Young: The Pez Outlaw. Stephen Semple: The PEZ Outlaw. You're immediately intrigued, aren't you? Dave Young: Oh, sure. Stephen Semple: And Steve Glew is a machine operator from Michigan, and he started doing collectibles as a side hustle. And he started by collecting cereal boxes. So he would go to the local recycling plant and clip the coupons and ask for the toy to send them, things like those secret decoder rings. Have you ever noticed that there's a disclaimer now on those things that says only one per customer Dave Young: Because of him? Stephen Semple: It's because of him. Because at a certain point, Kellogg's notices that they're sending tons of toys to this one address- Dave Young: To one guy. Stephen Semple: ... in rural Michigan, to this one guy. He's basically getting these things and then going to trade shows and selling them. Dave Young: Nice. That's smart. Stephen Semple: That's smart, hey. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: It's funny, I bought a book a little while ago that is somebody had put together a book of all of the ads and the products that we saw in comics. Dave Young: Oh, sure. Stephen Semple: And in fact, the reason why I had got the book is when I did my comic, I was looking for ideas for fun, made-up placement. Dave Young: My dad had a story about when he was a kid, he sent off for something and it was a model airplane, a Balsa model airplane, send a dollar or whatever. I think this had to be a joke. Basically, he got back a big block of balsa wood and a knife. There you go. Stephen Semple: There you go, that's awesome. Yeah. Dave Young: Yeah, so Steve Glew. Stephen Semple: So we thank Steve Glew for the origin of the disclaimer of one per customer. So Steve's got a problem. He needs to find new things to sell because this side hustle is about to disappear because he's no longer able to scavenge these boxes and send in and get all these toys to sell. He's clearing out the last of his inventory and he notices a nearby vendor selling Pez dispensers.

Aujourd'hui, j'ai le plaisir de vous inviter à plonger dans une conversation enrichissante avec Hervé Badan, le fondateur et directeur de Swiss Gift Selection, entreprise qui incarne parfaitement sa devise : le plaisir de faire plaisir. Lors de notre échange, Hervé revient sur son parcours entrepreneurial atypique. Il nous parle de ses débuts dans l'hôtellerie et de sa transition vers l'univers des cadeaux d'entreprise, où il met un point d'honneur à créer des produits qui reflètent l'esprit de l'entreprise cliente tout en respectant des valeurs de durabilité et de proximité. Ce n'est pas seulement une histoire de produits du terroir et de précieux flacons, mais un véritable système d'harmonie qu'il a su instaurer avec ses clients et partenaires.Hervé nous dévoile comment, dans son métier, l'écoute et l'empathie sont essentielles pour cerner les besoins des clients et construire une relation solide, même à distance grâce à la technologie. Il insiste sur l'importance d'oser dire non quand les valeurs ne sont pas alignées, un défi qu'il a appris à relever au fil du temps.Nous discutons aussi de l'importance de prendre soin de soi pour rayonner tant sur le plan personnel que professionnel. Hervé partage sa passion pour la nature, qu'il considère comme une source inépuisable de régénération et d'inspiration, ainsi que son approche d'une hygiène de vie équilibrée. Enfin, nous abordons des sujets qui lui tiennent à cœur, tels que la transmission et l'accompagnement, et il nous confie comment il aime aider les jeunes entrepreneurs à naviguer dans leurs débuts.Cet épisode dévoile un homme à la fois humble et déterminé, qui a su transformer son désir de faire plaisir en une véritable philosophie de vie et de travail. J'espère que vous prendrez autant de plaisir à écouter cet échange que j'en ai eu à le conduire.

Im Malaysia hat ein Gericht die eigene Regierung angewiesen, 172 regenbogenfarbene «Swatch»-Uhren zurückzugeben. Die Uhren wurden beschlagnahmt, weil sie «LGBT-Elemente» enthielten, sagten die Behörden – Homosexualität ist in Malaysia illegal und kann hart bestraft werden. · In Italien eskaliert ein interner Streit bei der «Cinque Stelle», der Fünf-Sterne-Bewegung. Die Partei trennt sich von ihrem Gründer Beppe Grillo. Under Korrespondent erklärt, was zu diesem Schritt geführt hat? · Der Prozess um die zigfache Vergewaltigung von Gisèle Pelicot wühlt Frankreich auf. Ihr Mann hat sie mit Beruhigungsmittel in der Nahrung betäubt und von anderen Männern vergewaltigen lassen. Obwohl Gisèle Pelicot lange nicht wusste, was ihr da angetan wurde, hatte sie mit vielen Folgeerscheinungen zu kämpfen – und Ärztinnen und Ärzte konnten sich ihre Probleme nicht erklären. Nun will sich Frankreichs Ärzteschaft warnen, damit so ein Fall nicht noch einmal vorkommen kann. · Gut ein Monat ist vergangen seit der Flutkatastrophe in der Region um Valencia in Spanien. Die Folgen von solchen Flutkatastrophen sind umso schlimmer, je trockener der Boden ist. Und das ist in Spanien ein grosses Problem: Schätzungen von Greenpeace zeigen, dass rund drei Viertel der Landfläche von Wüstenbildung bedroht sind.
