Die ukrainische Regierung hat sich mit den USA offenbar auf ein Abkommen geeinigt, das unter anderem den Abbau seltener Erden enthalten würde. Die Ukraine hofft, dank des Abkommens weitere Militärhilfe von den USA zu erhalten. Doch es gibt auch kritische Stimmen. Weitere Themen: Stromkonzerne wie Alpiq haben im vergangenen Herbst viel Geld mit Wasserstrom verdient. Die Folge: die Stauseen in den Alpen sind derzeit nur wenig gefüllt. Werden wir in den nächsten Monaten teuer für die tiefen Pegelstände bezahlen? Immer mehr Menschen sind in der Schweiz unterwegs, zur Arbeit, zur Schule oder in der Freizeit. Weil gleichzeitig der Platz für neue Strassen fehlt, staut sich der Verkehr und auch der ÖV bleibt darin stecken. Besonders ausgeprägt zeigt sich dies in der Stadt Luzern.
Die Muota im Kanton Schwyz soll auch künftig Wasserstrom liefern. Das Energieunternehmen EBS Energie AG will in den nächsten 25 Jahren rund 200 Millionen Franken investieren und mehr für den Umweltschutz unternehmen.

Aaron erinnert sich an Orte in Natur oder Ereignisse die wunderschön aber auch gewaltig waren. Tornados, Gewitter und grüner Himmel. Gott ist kreative in Nature und uns Menschen. Die Natur offenbart unseren Gott und veranschaulicht unseren Glauben. Hiob 36:22-33 22 Siehe, Gott ist erhaben in seiner Kraft; wer ist ein Lehrer wie er? 23 Wer will ihn zur Rede stellen über seinen Weg, und wer will zu ihm sagen: Du hast Unrecht getan? 24 Denke daran, sein Tun zu erheben, das Menschen besingen. 25 Alle Menschen schauen es an; der Sterbliche erblickt es von ferne. 26 Siehe, Gott ist so erhaben, dass wir [ihn] nicht erkennen können; die Zahl seiner Jahre ist unerforschlich. 27 Denn er zieht Wassertropfen herauf; sie sickern als Regen für seinen Wasserstrom herab, 28 den die Wolken niederrieseln, auf viele Menschen herabtropfen lassen. 29 Versteht man auch das Ausspannen der Wolken und den Donnerschall seines Gezelts? 30 Siehe, er breitet sein Licht darüber aus und bedeckt die Gründe des Meeres; 31 denn damit richtet er die Völker und gibt Speise die Fülle. 32 Seine Hände umhüllt er mit dem Blitzstrahl und gebietet ihm, zu treffen. 33 Sein Donnerruf kündigt ihn an, Die unerforschlichen Wege Gottes Judas 12 Diese sind Schandflecken bei euren Liebesmahlen und schmausen mit [euch], indem sie ohne Scheu sich selbst weiden; Wolken ohne Wasser, von Winden umhergetrieben, unfruchtbare Bäume im Spätherbst, zweimal erstorben und entwurzelt, 13 wilde Wellen des Meeres, die ihre eigene Schande ausschäumen, Irrsterne, denen das Dunkel der Finsternis in Ewigkeit aufbewahrt ist. Jes 65:5 5 Wir sind ja allesamt geworden wie Unreine und alle unsere Gerechtigkeit wie ein beflecktes Kleid. Wir sind alle verwelkt wie die Blätter, und unsere Sünden trugen uns fort wie der Wind.
Der Ständerat debattiert darüber, bei der Wasserkraft den Umweltschutz zu senken. Konkret geht es um die Bestimmungen, wie viel Wasser zur Stromproduktion maximal abgezweigt werden dürfen. Diese Restwasserbestimmungen sollen, wenn es nach dem Nationalrat geht, bis 2035 ausgesetzt werden. Im «Politikum» diskutieren: * Lisa Mazzone, Ständerätin der Grünen, Genf * Ruedi Noser, FDP-Ständerat, Zürich

James Wasserstrom and Tamara Razin, co-chairs of Moldova's Independent Anti-Corruption Advisory Committee (CCIA), join CIPE's Anti-Corruption & Governance Center podcast to discuss the CCIA's high-stakes role in combating strategic corruption. Founded in June 2021— after Moldova elected president Maia Sandu on a promise to end the “rule of thieves”—the politically independent body aims to stop state capture, analyze systemic corruption issues across institutions in Moldova, and improve the implementation of anti-corruption measures. Listen now to hear how Wasserstrom and Razin's experience fighting corruption in Afghanistan and Ukraine has guided the new organization, how they're leveraging research to make an impact despite lacking investigative powers, and a summary of what the CCIA has uncovered thus far in its fact-finding work. This episode is hosted by Katya Lysova, Senior Program Officer for Eurasia specializing in business integrity and anti-corruption compliance.
Gin baut Gleitschirme neuerdings mit gewellten Eintrittskanten. Torsten Siegel erlebt spannende Zeiten als Konstrukteur. +++ Buckelwale haben ungewöhnliche Brustflossen. An der Vorderkante weisen sie wellenförmige Ausbuchtungen auf, sogenannte Tuberkel. Beim Schwimmen strömt das Wasser über diese Buckel und bricht sich in unzähligen Wirbeln. Die Tuberkel kanalisieren den Wasserstrom über den Flossen in streifenförmigen Bereichen mit wechselndem Turbulenzgrad. Das verstärkt zum einen den Auftrieb. Zum anderen kann der Wal seine Flossen steil anwinkeln, ohne dass es gleich zu einem krassen Strömungsabriss kommt. Dieses Prinzip aus der Natur findet sich neuerdings in Gleitschirmen wieder. Der Boomerang 12 von Gin Gliders weist keine gerade, sondern eine wellenförmige Eintrittskante auf. Dem Gleitschirm soll die Wave Leading Edge ähnliche Vorteile in puncto Auftrieb und Abrissverhalten bringen wie den Buckelwalen. Gin will sie künftig in allen Schirmmodellen implementieren. Für Torsten Siegel, seit zehn Jahren Konstrukteur und Testpilot für Gin, ist die Arbeit deshalb wieder sehr spannend geworden – weil sich mit einem Mal neue Möglichkeiten eröffnen. In dieser 94. Folge von Podz-Glidz spricht der 53-jährige freilich nicht nur über seine Begeisterung für die Wave Leading Edge. Er erzählt auch über seinen Werdegang und wie es ist, als Testpilot in Wettbewerben die eigenen Konstruktionen ständig mit der Konkurrenz vergleichen zu müssen. Immerhin ist er dabei sehr erfolgreich. Torsten fliegt seit 1999 für die Deutsche Nationalmannschaft, wurde 2014 Europameister und stand schon mehrfach in der Weltrangliste auf Platz 1. +++ Wenn Du Podz-Glidz und den Blog Lu-Glidz fördern möchtest, so findest Du alle zugehörigen Infos unter: https://lu-glidz.blogspot.com/p/fordern.html +++ Musik dieser Folge: Track: Power Shutoff | Künstler: Craig McArthur Artist link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCraeCs8vcrAbsaFba35XLSQ Music promoted by Happy Soul Music Library https://happysoulmusic.com

Prof. Wasserstrom connects history of Opium Wars to China's repossession of Hong Kong & its emotional patriotic education. Hong Kong never really left the news after its massive demonstrations in 2019 and early 2020. But this month, June 2021, America's news coverage of Hong Kong spiked. Here are some highlights. According to the Wall Street Journal, out of apprehension for Hong Kong's future, big international businesses are leaving that city, and the effects of that exodus are highly visible, both metaphorically and literally - the latter manifest in the high rate of commercial real estate vacancies. In addition, although Hong Kong's annual observance of the Tiananmen Square massacre has been banned, in defiance, Hong Kong residents gathered in small numbers to commemorate that tragic day anyway. And there is one more highlight that we like to share. The leaders of the G-7 group of nations issued a rebuke to China regarding many issues, including its treatment of Hong Kong's autonomy and the freedom of its residents. But why does Hong Kong receive so much press coverage? What makes the case of Hong Kong special? To better understand Hong Kong, its past and present, we spoke with Jeffrey Wasserstrom, a Chancellor's professor of history at the University of California, Irvine. Professor Wasserstrom is a specialist in modern Chinese history and has a strong interest in connecting China's past to its present and placing both into global perspective. Here is the link to Professor Wasserstrom's academic homepage, which includes a list of his numerous publications: https://www.faculty.uci.edu/profile.cfm?faculty_id=5310.

We welcome for a second time, Chief of Party for Democracy International in Afghanistan. James described how he almost overnight became an advisor involved in anti-corruption in a warzone, the challenges he faced and how his experiences in Kosovo, Ukraine and Afghanistan differed from each other. Matthew and James discuss the concrete challenges of dealing with corruption in conflict areas. James outlines why it is important to not compromise anti-corruption efforts, especially early as they are often hard to address later on and the challenges of winning hearts and minds in conflict areas. The interview outlines why it is important to take a strong stance - which might not always be popular - against corruption in such challenging environments

This week on podcast world-famous UN whistleblower James Wasserstrom (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Wasserstrom). His case made the headlines around the world (see links in coverage). Brought in to investigate corruption in Kosovo, James soon received hints that some UN officials themselves were involved in corruption. Learn all about the retaliation against James, including death threats, illegal searches, and smear campaigns. James offers his views on how the UN reacted to the case and indicates whether, in hindsight, he would blow the whistle again. The interview continues on how James’ own experience as a whistleblower has inspired him to found the integrity sanctuary.

A Very Square Peg: The Strange and Remarkable Life the Polymath Robert Eisler
Warning: Economics. In this episode, we begin with Eisler's testimony before the skeptical Senators of the Committee on Banking and Currency in Washington, D.C. on January 20, 1934, in which he proposed that the nation adopt a dual currency system to control inflation and end the Great Depression. I (a non-economist) talk about what this means with noted economist Miles Kimball, who has recently brought renewed attention to Eisler's plan in his own work. We also learn about Eisler's theory of who actually wrote what we call the Gospel of John, talk with Steven Wasserstrom about Eisler's brief involvement with Carl Jung and the Eranos Conference, and interpret a “dream poem” that Eisler recorded at his mother's house in 1936.

Warning: Economics. In this episode, we begin with Eisler’s testimony before the skeptical Senators of the Committee on Banking and Currency in Washington, D.C. on January 20, 1934, in which he proposed that the nation adopt a dual currency system to control inflation and end the Great Depression. I (a non-economist) talk about what this means with noted economist Miles Kimball, who has recently brought renewed attention to Eisler’s plan in his own work. We also learn about Eisler’s theory of who actually wrote what we call the Gospel of John, talk with Steven Wasserstrom about Eisler’s brief involvement with Carl Jung and the Eranos Conference, and interpret a “dream poem” that Eisler recorded at his mother’s house in 1936.

This podcast was recorded on May 21st, 2020 – the same day that the Chinese government proposed new national security laws that would give China greater control over Hong Kong. What motivates these laws and what is at stake for Hong Kong, China, and the rest of the world if they go into effect? In the podcast, Wasserstrom draws on examples from modern Chinese history and politics – such as the role of local press in reporting on SARS – to connect on the ground reporting in Hong Kong and the exercise of rights by the Hong Kong people with practical policy-making during a pandemic. He offers both stark realism and optimism about the ability of the public, heads of state, and policy makers to fully comprehend the meaning of political protest – and the freedom it represents – in Hong Kong. Jeffrey Wasserstrom's Vigil: Hong Kong on the Brink (Columbia Global Reports, 2020) provides a nuanced yet accessible overview of the struggle between Hong Kong and China over self-governance and civil liberties. This historical and political context is essential for understanding why – and how – 2 million people (in a country of 7 million) took to the streets in 2019 and 2020 to protest against Chinese control over Hong Kong in what was promised to be “one country, two systems.” Wasserstrom’s “history of the present” provides insights into sovereignty, colonialism, rule of law, national security, freedom of the press, authoritarianism, and the politics of protest. This beautifully written – and remarkably short – book provides the political background necessary for concerned citizens, engaged students, and scholars of modern China.

After witnessing the biggest protests in its history during the middle months of 2019, Hong Kong remains a subject of intense global interest and global concern. In this talk, Jeffrey Wasserstrom, a professor of modern Chinese history at UC Irvine and longtime scholar of social unrest, will use forays into history and comparison to help audience members make sense of Hong Kong's complex present and uncertain future. Wasserstrom's new book, Vigil: Hong Kong on the Brink, has been described by one reviewer as “. . . essential reading for understanding China's foreign policies, the legacies of empire and above all the extraordinary politics, society and culture of contemporary Hong Kong.” In addition to his academic writings, Wasserstrom has authored numerous books and articles for the general public. His writing has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, HuffPost, Financial Times, The Atlantic online edition, The New York Times and other print and online publications.

In this episode, I talk with Zachary Woodruff, who currently serves as Director of Development & Public Service for the City of Whitehall, Ohio. Woodruff has focused his efforts on job growth and expansion, negotiating development agreements leading to more than $100 million in new private investment, and building personal relationships with business leaders and members of the community. He has taken the lead on bringing businesses such as Heartland Bank and Wasserstrom to build new corporate headquarters in the city. He has also been instrumental in the reinvention of the Broad & Hamilton intersection, a major gateway into the city of Whitehall named Norton Crossing. This mixed-use development being constructed at that intersection, is the most significant redevelopment effort in Whitehall’s history. Featuring insights from individual contributors from all corners, nooks and crannies of the Columbus, Ohio region, Scott McComb, Chairman & CEO of Heartland Bank, has a goal to get to the why of our evolving and eclectic environment.

On this episode of Jacobin Radio, Suzi focuses on the intensifying US-Iranian crisis and war brinkmanship that saw us about ten minutes away from military strikes, before Trump pulled back. We get MIT historian Pouya Alimaghum’s analysis of the crisis, the implications and goals of the increasing bluster and ever more draconian sanctions, and what they mean for domestic dissent in Iran. Then Suzi talks to UCI professor of Chinese history Jeff Wasserstrom, who has just returned from Hong Kong and has written in the Atlantic about the gigantic protest movement that was met with extreme violence, only bringing more people into the streets. The protestors were fighting against a bill that would allow the extradition of suspects to mainland China, a further threat to Hong Kong’s partial autonomy, and for the right to assemble without persecution, to speak freely, and enjoy freedom of information. For the moment the bill has been shelved, thanks to the massive protests in the streets, but not the efforts to erode the city’s freedoms. We get Wasserstrom’s analysis.
It's never too late. Just ask Joey Grey, the Oscar-, Tony- and Golden Globe-winning actor, who discovered a new career in his 70s. Or the magazine editor who lost her job to the economy but gained a new life. Or the physician who is partnering with her patients to teach them how to prevent or even reverse diseases.

Yet as the authors also acknowledge, explaining ‘what everyone needs to know’ about the country is a daunting proposition, particularly at this highly unpredictable point in world history. Yet this fully revised edition of China in the 21st Century tackles the major issues head-on, interweaving context from China’s recent and more distant pasts with present-day insights, and illuminating events, figures and periods little known outside China but of vital importance within the country. Conversely, the co-authors also expertly puncture many of our preconceived ideas about China’s past and present, not shirking the kind of big questions which would have many commentators or academics fleeing for the hills, from Confucius to the Cultural Revolution, Mao to Market-Leninism. Seasoned veterans and novices to Chinese affairs alike will learn a lot from this book which, supplemented by a rich trove of references for further reading, offers new ways of looking at a too-often-misunderstood country.

Yet as the authors also acknowledge, explaining ‘what everyone needs to know’ about the country is a daunting proposition, particularly at this highly unpredictable point in world history. Yet this fully revised edition of China in the 21st Century tackles the major issues head-on, interweaving context from China’s recent and more distant pasts with present-day insights, and illuminating events, figures and periods little known outside China but of vital importance within the country. Conversely, the co-authors also expertly puncture many of our preconceived ideas about China’s past and present, not shirking the kind of big questions which would have many commentators or academics fleeing for the hills, from Confucius to the Cultural Revolution, Mao to Market-Leninism. Seasoned veterans and novices to Chinese affairs alike will learn a lot from this book which, supplemented by a rich trove of references for further reading, offers new ways of looking at a too-often-misunderstood country.

China experts Cunningham and Wasserstrom start by talking about the small, mainly campus-based #MeToo campaign in China--to avoid internet censorship young people often use emojis of a rice bowl and a rabbit, which sound the same as "me too" in Chinese, but now the censors have figured that out--and go on to consider more general issues of censorship, repression, and the ups and downs of gender equality in China.

The recent proposal to remove presidential term limits in China has prompted questions about the country’s future development, and the historical legacy of China’s past authoritarian leaders seems relevant once again. How should we understand the current direction of China’s political culture? In a newly revised and updated book, modern China historians Jeffrey Wasserstrom and Maura Cunningham review the key historical trends that have shaped China’s development in the 21st century. From Confucian thought to U.S.-China relations under Trump and Xi, China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know, third edition, provides essential knowledge for understanding the world’s emerging superpower.

Alec Ash is a young British writer who lives in Beijing, who has covered “left behind” children in Chinese villages, the “toughest high school exam in the world” and internet live streaming among many other subjects. He is the author of Wish Lanterns, which the Financial Times called a “closely observed study of China’s millennials.” The book tells the stories of six Chinese people born between 1985 and 1990. The characters have very different backgrounds and aspirations, including a rock musician named Lucifer, an internet addict named Snail, and a patriotic Party official’s daughter. In this episode of the Sinica Podcast, Alec discusses his book with Kaiser, Jeremy, and David Moser. He talks about contemporary youth culture in China, the concerns of Chinese millennials, how he met the six characters in the book and what we can understand about China’s changing culture from their stories. Recommendations: Jeremy: Unreliable Sources: How the Twentieth Century Was Reported, by John Simpson. David: The Oxford Illustrated History of Modern China, edited by Jeffrey N. Wasserstrom. Alec: The Barbarians at the Gate podcast. Kaiser: Battle Cry of Freedom, by James M. McPherson — ”the best single-volume history of the American Civil War that I know of” — and Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom: China, the West, and the Epic Story of the Taiping, by Stephen R. Platt.

An artist paints landscapes of faraway places that she cannot identify in order to find her place in the global economy. A migrant worker sorts recyclables and thinks deeply about the soul of his country, while a Taoist mystic struggles to keep his traditions alive. An entrepreneur capitalizes on a growing car culture by trying to convince people not to buy cars. And a 90-year-old woman remembers how the oldest neighborhoods of her city used to be.

Shiva symbolisiert die Kraft der Transformation. Shiva ist die Verkörperung der universellen Kraft der Zerstörung, die jegliche Existenz beendet und aus der jegliche Existenz neu entsteht.

A talk by Jeffrey Wasserstrom, Professor of History at the University of California, Irvine. If Chairman Mao came back to life today, what would he think of Nanjing's bookstore, the "Librairie Avant-Garde", where it is easier to find primers on Michel Foucault's philosophy than copies of the Little Red Book? What does it really mean to order a latte at Starbucks in Beijing? Is it possible that Aldous Huxley wrote a novel even more useful than Orwell's 1984 for making sense of post-Tiananmen China...or post-9/11 America? In these often playful, always enlightening "tales", Jeffrey N. Wasserstrom poses these and other questions as he journeys from 19th-century China into the future, and from Shanghai to Chicago, St. Louis, and Budapest. He argues that simplistic views of China and Americanization found in most soundbite-driven media reports serve us poorly as we try to understand China's place in the current world order...or our own.
