If international tensions break out into a wider war, it is likely to fought differently than previous wars. What will be the same is that the home front will become a target. Instead of Zeppelins, enemy bombers, V2 missiles, or Cuban paratroopers invading, the assault on the home front will likely be cyber warfare -- software viruses and backdoors to take down civilian infrastructure.

Ravensburg, and you are very much forgiven if you cannot place it on the map, is today a town of 50,000 in the far south eastern corner of Baden-Württemberg between Friedrichshafen, home of the Zeppelins, and the city of Ulm and its majestic church tower. If you have heard of it, it may be because of Ravensburger, the publisher of puzzles and boardgames, but you would not have associated it with any great mercantile or commercial activity.Nevertheless, in the 15th century it housed the headquarters of a company that held a near monopoly in the trade between Spain and the empire and in certain wares, namely linen and a special cloth variously called barchent, bombast or fustian.Before we get into Ravensburger and the Grosse Handelsgesellschaft, we need to put the whole region into the context of the free imperial cities of the 15th century.Trading routes of the HABW_11_03_Ravensburger_Handelsgesellschaft.jpg (4957×3535)The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

Zeppelins, luchtschepen of vliegende sigaren. Hoe je ze ook wil noemen, de tijd dat deze gigantische voertuigen door de lucht zweefden doet denken aan een vervlogen tijdperk. Toch was er eind jaren negentig sprake van een mogelijke terugkeer van de zeppelin. De uitbreiding van Schiphol stuitte op veel weerstand en zeppelins leken een stiller alternatief voor vliegtuigen. Tegelijkertijd was er naar aanleiding van onderzoek door de TU Delft veel media-aandacht ontstaan voor nieuwe ontwerpen van luchtschepen. Minister Annemarie Jorritsma besloot daarop in 1996 een rapport te laten opstellen over de haalbaarheid van luchtschepen in Nederland, wat positief uitviel. De sterren stonden dus gunstig voor zeppelinbouwer Rigid Airship Design (RAD), een initiatief van de Schotse techneut Ian Alexander. Alexander droomde al van kinds af aan om zijn eigen luchtschepen te gaan bouwen, en toen er in Nederland interesse ontstond voor een zeppelinbouwer was hij er dan ook als de kippen bij. Dat deze Schot ook nog eens zeer mediageniek was, kwam voor de luchtschiplobby natuurlijk goed van pas. De plannen waren reusachtig: er moest een hangar komen van ongeveer 270 meter lang en vijftig meter breed, vlak bij Lelystad. De ambitie was om de eerste exemplaren zo rond 2003 van de band te laten rollen. Voor deze plannen was natuurlijk geld nodig. Dubieuze én serieuze investeerders De eerste en meest enthousiaste investeerder was Robert Jan Doorn. Deze omstreden ondernemer stond in de jaren tachtig en negentig bekend als meesterwitwasser en zat zelfs een korte periode in de gevangenis in Zwitserland. Eind jaren negentig was hij echter weer op vrije voeten en nodigde hij Alexander uit om te komen werken aan de zeppelinplannen op zijn landgoed Swaenenburgh in S’ Gravelande. Hierna volgden meer investeerders, waaronder Stork (Fokker), RDM van bedrijvendokter Joep van den Nieuwenhuyzen, Greenfield Capital en een vriend van Doorn, vastgoedbaas Maup Caranza. Gezamenlijk staken zij miljoenen guldens in het project. Daarmee konden de werkzaamheden beginnen, maar vanaf dag één zat het tegen voor het bedrijf. In de zomer van 2001 viel, amper drie jaar na de oprichting van het bedrijf, alweer het doek voor Rigid Airship Design. Hoe kwam het dat de luchtschepen van het bedrijf uiteindelijk niet meer bleken te zijn dan luchtkastelen? Te gast is Sjoerd Warringa, curator en partner bij Ten Holter Noordam advocaten. Onder curatoren Niet elk ondernemersavontuur eindigt met een notering in de Quote 500, niet elk bedrijf overleeft een flinke crisis, niet elke onderneming weet het financiële spel goed te spelen. En als alles misgaat, als de chaos regeert en schuldeisers aan de poort rammelen, dan breekt het tijdperk van de curator aan. In deze serie praten financieel journalisten Elisa Hermanides en Thomas van Zijl over onvergetelijke faillissementen met curatoren, de puinruimers van het bedrijfsleven.

Luftschiffe sind Fahrzeuge mit interessanten Eigenschaften, aber auch einem Imageproblem. Das liegt unter anderem daran, dass das deutsche Luftschiff Hindenburg im Jahr 1937 beim Landen abgebrannt ist. Weil Flugzeuge während und nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg die Lufthoheit gewannen, gelten Luftschiffe im besten Falle als antiquiert. Der Klimawandel könnte nun ein Comeback des Zeppelins als breit genutztes Verkehrsmittel bringen. Eine Möglichkeit wäre eine Bauweise mit Solarzellen an der Außenhaut. Diese Hoffnung hegt zumindest der deutsche Informatikprofessor Christoph Pflaum. Gemeinsam mit einer Kollegin der Technischen Universität München sah sich Pflaum an, welche Route so ein Solarzeppelin nehmen müsste, um möglichst schnell und klimafreundlich von London nach New York zu reisen. Von der britischen Hauptstadt an die US-Ostküste würde es demnach drei Tage und zwei Nächte dauern. In dieser Podcast-Folge von "Edition Zukunft" erklärt Pflaum, welche Besonderheiten Luftschiffe haben und wie sie in Zukunft wieder breiter eingesetzt werden könnten. **Hat Ihnen dieser Podcast gefallen?** Mit einem STANDARD-Abonnement können Sie unsere Arbeit unterstützen und mithelfen, Journalismus mit Haltung auch in Zukunft sicherzustellen.

But instead of landing in New Jersey as expected, you dock to the top of the tallest building in the world: the Empire State Building. This didn't actual happen — turns out that's a logistical and safety impossibility — but that didn't stop the builders of the Empire State Building from using the potential of a mooring mast to advertise the building.

Foundations of Amateur Radio In our hobby we regularly invoke line of sight when we discuss the VHF and higher bands. It's a simple concept to help describe when two transceivers can hear each other. The process evokes an image of a beam of light travelling unobstructed between the antennas at either end. Some might picture a laser, others a flashlight, both are useful to become familiar with some of the concepts. If there's a pole between the two, a laser beam, unless it's particularly powerful, won't go through to the other side. A flashlight beam on the other hand might fit around the pole and still be visible at the destination. That illustrates that objects can get in the way of a signal, reducing strength and sometimes blocking it entirely, but it's not the only effect at play. Imagine a building with a mirror glued to its side. If you shine a laser at an angle at the mirror, you can reflect the light off the mirror and essentially still land on target. This is useful if you want to avoid an obstacle directly between you and your destination. The reflected light travels a different and slightly longer distance than direct light would, but if there's no obstacles, both will arrive at the destination. This is an example of a multipath, where the same signal arrives at its destination using multiple different paths. If you've ever used HF radio, making a contact on the other side of the planet, it should come as no surprise that radio waves travel in more than just straight lines. Depending on frequency, radio waves can be affected by phenomena like ionospheric reflection and refraction, atmospheric ducting and even bounce off water, the ground, mountains, hills and objects like buildings, aircraft and even water droplets, along their path. Each of these cause a radio signal to take multiple paths to arrive at the destination. It gets better. A radio signal that travels along a different path takes a measurable difference in time to get to its destination when compared with another path for the same signal. From a radio signal perspective, this difference in time is also known as a phase shift. Now consider a single radio signal that travels along two paths, just like our laser beam and mirror. If you imagine a radio signal as a sine wave, you can draw the two signals on the same chart. They will be in lock-step with each other, since they're the same radio signal, but they won't be on the same place on the chart. In relation to each other they'll be shifted along the time axis, since one took longer than the other to get to the destination. At the destination, the receiver hears a combination of both those signals. They're added together. That means that what's sent and what's received are not the same thing and why it's a great idea to use phonetics in radio communications. In some cases the two signals help and strengthen each other, they're said to interfere constructively, and sometimes the signals hinder and cancel each other out, or interfere destructively. Said in another way, a radio signal can arrive at a receiver along multiple paths at the same time. What's heard at the receiver is essentially a cacophony, caused by each slightly different path. Since the signals are essentially all the same, some of these signals reinforce each other, where some cancel each other out. This effect isn't absolute, since the different path lengths aren't all exact multiples of the wavelength of the signal, they're all over the place, but there will be groups of paths that help and groups that hinder. This phenomenon was first described by Augustin-Jean Fresnel on the 14th of July, 1816 in relation to light and we now call these groups, Fresnel zones. Fresnel zones are numbered, one, two, three and up. The first or primary Fresnel zone is the first group of radio signals that helps strengthen the signal, the second zone is the first group of signals that hinders. The third zone is the second group of radio signals that helps and so-on. Odd helps, even hinders. I should point out that a Fresnel zone is three dimensional. The primary Fresnel zone essentially has the shape of a Zeppelin stretched between the source and the target. The secondary zone is wrapped around the outside of the primary zone like a second skin, but it's thicker in the middle. In practical terms, what this means in point-to-point radio communications is that your antenna needs to be located in a place where most of the signal arrives. The rule of thumb is that the primary Fresnel zone needs to be at least 60% clear, but ideally 80%. If you're in a situation where a receiver is moving, say in a car, you can imagine that your antenna is moving in and out of direct line of sight to a transmitter, but it's also moving between the various Fresnel zones. If you were to move your antenna from the first Fresnel zone to the second and then the third, the signal would be strong, then weak, then strong again. If your receiver is an FM receiver and it's moving from the first zone to the second, it could fall below a threshold and the signal would effectively vanish. Continue to move from the second into the third zone and the signal would sound like it suddenly reappeared as it climbed above the threshold. Do it fast enough and the signal sounds like it's stuttering. That stuttering has a name. In amateur radio we call it picket fencing or flutter and it's commonly heard in mobile situations on FM transmissions on the VHF and higher bands, but it can be caused by other changes in propagation distance, for example an antenna moving in the wind. The higher the frequency, the less movement is needed to experience this. To add to the fun of radio, the same threshold effects, actually called the FM capture effect, can be caused by other phenomena, like two stations of similar strength on the same frequency, or interference from the electronics in your vehicle. And finally, I should point out that the higher the frequency, the smaller the Fresnel zones, and the more susceptible to an object in the path a signal is, but you already knew that, a pole will block a laser beam, but not a 2m conversation on the local repeater. So, line-of-sight isn't just a straight line, it's a whole lot more fun. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

(Bonus) World War I was the first major conflict involving the large-scale use of aircraft. Tethered observation balloons had already been employed in several wars, and would be used extensively for artillery spotting. Germany employed Zeppelins for reconnaissance over the North Sea and Baltic and also for strategic bombing raids over Britain and the Eastern Front. Airplanes were just coming into military use at the outset of the war. Initially, they were used mostly for reconnaissance. Pilots and engineers learned from experience, leading to the development of many specialized types, including fighters, bombers, and trench strafers.

The beginning of September 1900 is characterised by small skirmishes that continue to plague Lord Robert's army in South Africa. It's also the start of Spring - which came as a relief for the men who'd slept under the stars with winter temperatures slipping well below zero in many parts of South Africa. But they'd forgotten what happened in mid-Summer as the blazing sun bleached the bones of the dead and powerful thunderstorms lashed the living. September and October 1900 also revealed the limitations of the political will. Remember there's been an uprising called the Boxer Rebellion in China which has occupied the minds of the citizens, whereas this show in Africa is receding in the public consciousness. The government of John X Merriman was to face more criticism shortly. Think about contemporary wars - the UN and American campaign in Iraq and Afghanistan for example. After initial reports from imbedded journalists with their dramatic stories, then the audience begins to wane particularly if the effect of the war is not immediate. Think too of how badly the Russians fared in Afghanistan after they invaded in 1979 - the result of which accelerated the decline of the Soviet Union. Unlike the first world war where people in England could actually hear the Western Front artillery barrages at times, or were bombed by Zeppelins, and in the Second world war where tens of thousands of civilians were killed in Britain, in the Anglo-Boer war the hospital ships limped into harbours with fanfare but no direct effect was felt. So the Anglo-Boer war drifted into the background, to be manipulated by political parties as they argued back and forth about ethics, empire and cost. Something like the American experience where the left and right grapple with internal issues through the lens of distant wars. For the Boers, however, this life and death struggle was very much front and centre, as it was for all South Africans. The Transvaal's political leaders were now compelled to retreat further eastwards, towards the Portuguese East Africa border, while the Orange Free State President Styen had joined Transvaal President Paul Kruger as they moved inexorably towards Delagoa Bay. Portuguese East Africa was neutral territory, and Delagoa Bay was a short-term bolt hole that beckoned both political leaders. Steyn had arrived at Waterval Onder in the final stages of the battle of Bergendal which we heard about last week. He wanted to confer with Ooom Paul Kruger and the remnants of the Transvaal government. Both were forced out of this town and headed further east to Nelspruit, only 85 kilometers from the Portuguese East Africa border. A meeting was held on the 28th August in Nelspruit and apparently this was a memorable occasion. A number of decisions were made including the crucial approval of the new method of war espoused by both General De Wet in the West along with General Koos de la Rey, and General Louis Botha in the East.
