Human waste supple like water foam on the barracks' wall until it tumbles in tears splinters of cement and lime dust we interweave in our hands. Desperdício humano dúctil como espuma de água no muro do quartel até ruir em lágrimas estilhaços de cimento e cal pó que entretecemos nas mãos. by Armando TABORDA, in "MANUAL DO DESPERDÍCIO", Ceres Editora, 1994 (post 1st ed…

Ein Welttag soll an internationale Themen und aktuelle Weltprobleme erinnern. Es gibt von der UN und ihren Unterorganisationen mehr als 100 offizielle Welt- und Internationale Tage. Im Zeitalter der Globalisierung und des Internets erfahren weltweite Gedenktage eine Aufwertung. Der Weltozeantag wird jedes Jahr am 8. Juni weltweit begangen, um das Bewusstsein für die Bedeutung der Ozeane und deren Schutz zu schärfen. Er dient als Gelegenheit, die entscheidende Rolle des Ozeans in unserem Leben hervorzuheben, einschließlich seiner Auswirkungen auf die Klimaregulierung, die biologische Vielfalt, die Ernährungssicherheit und die Lebensgrundlagen.

Da haben wir eine kleine Kirche in einem kleinen unscheinbaren Dorf mit einem alten Postamt, dessen Erscheinungsbild ein wenig an das ehemalige Gebäude der Gendarmerie nationale in Saint-Tropez erinnert. Die alte Gendarmerie nationale in Saint Tropez steht wahrscheinlich auch nur noch deshalb, weil die Geschichten um den Gendarmen Ludovic Cruchot es berühmt gemacht haben. Und wir haben einen kleinen Fluß, der ca. 100 km weiter in die Loire mündet und einem Departement seinen Namen gibt. Immerhin hatte diese Gemeinde, deren Einwohner man Saint-Genulphiens oder nicht ganz so heilig einfach Genulphiens nennt, bis zu sieben Fabriken, die Porzellan herstellten. Die letzte Fabrik wurde 1999 geschlossen. Das wären so einige Facts zu Saint-Genou, ein ca. 900 Seelen Städtchen im mittleren Westen Frankreichs. Wären wir damit zufrieden, würde mein Artikel mit der Einführung hier schon enden. Aber - ein Städtchen mit sieben Porzelanfabriken, einer Kirche, einem Postamt, an einem kleinen Fluss gelegen, kann auch Stoff für eine Geschichte liefern, die 1964 begann.

“It's important to always have people who remember you at various stages of your life. It's especially important as you get older, because there are less of those people around. And they remind you of who you are.” [1]

“I tried to do a puppet show on the streets, and I wasn't a very good street performer. But I found that I could stand in one place in Central Park and bounce a soap bubble on my arm, and I didn't have to gather a crowd for the puppet show. I had a crowd.” [1]

At work, I will play a significant role in the upcoming strategic planning process. To many, that might sound dull, dry, and perhaps even depressing. To those who feel that way, you have my fullest condolences. Much has changed since the existing strategic plan was adopted and implemented. The COVID-19 Pandemic has run its course leaving profound changes in its wake. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has exploded onto the scene with transformational implications. Just these two developments could…

In an opinion piece written by Washington Post Opinion Graphics Reporter Yan Wu, Wu proclaimed that AI “is opening new pathways for creativity.” “Consider visual arts,” she continued. “Just as photography changed the course of art in the 19th century, AI image generators now stand to revolutionize how humans create.” Wu went on to explain that the key to unlocking this pathway involved the interaction between humans and machines through the prompts develop. The piece drew strong and oft…

Zum Geleit Vor über einem Jahr habe ich an dieser Stelle bereits über unsere persönlichen Erlebnisse in den Tagen der verheerenden Flut im Ahrtal geschrieben. Seither ist vieles geschehen und auch vieles aus jenen Stunden zutage getreten. Es sind Dinge, die ich euch nicht vorenthalten möchte; ich habe den Eindruck, dass die landesweiten Medien das Thema vielleicht nicht vergessen, aber doch in den Hintergrund gestellt haben. Im Ausland wird der Informationsstand bezüglich der Flutkatastrophe…

Here is a poetry book with a modern and original structure, as if it were a two-dimensional graph of intervals, autobiographical, where the author, with mastery and great beauty, X-rays the remarkable moments of her life. The abcissa of the graph distributes the poem into four chapters/quadrants (endless, unfading, ceaseless, undying), which are divided into twelve months of the year, from Spring to Winter, as if the entire life were nothing more than a tellurian cyclical repetition of the fo…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1. Bulletin from our club president. On 7 October 2023 we were presented with a claim for monetary damages from a well-established and reputable German-headquartered company that specializes in obtaining compensation from intellectual property theft (e.g. copyright infringements) because of the actions of an ipernity member. He is now a past member because his account was promptly deleted along with the image that had been uploaded without the photog…
