Wiesbaden (fossil-world) - A Pocket Guide " Germany during the ice age "of the Wiesbaden-based science writer Ernst Probst describes the eventful history of the era marked by strong climate fluctuations of the earth from about 2.6 million to 11,700 years. is called in this period, the Ice Age or Pleistocene, there were hot periods, where between the North Sea coast and the Alps conditions similar to those prevailing today in Africa. On the other hand, during ice ages the glaciers advanced from the north to the vicinity of Dresden, Erfurt and Recklinghausen as well as before from the south to Biberach an der Riss, Fürstenfeldbruck and Burghausen on the Salzach River and buried the area under a thick ice sheet. During the warm phases hippos were swimming in the Rhine and other rivers. Other hand, lived in cold phases shaggy mammoths, woolly rhinoceroses and musk oxen on the mainland. During the ice age at different times there were the "Heidelberg man" Neanderthals and early anatomically modern humans. were written by Ernst Probst also the paperbacks "Records of the primitive," "Records of prehistoric man," "The Ur-Rhine," "cave lions", "The Lion Mosbacher, saber-toothed cats" and "The Cave".
city of Bern in the city of Thun - A Talk to the next archive Wilfried von Gunten and beat Soltis (podcast)
spontaneity is one of the finest properties, the man . I turn to occasionally, like today. I know that Henry garden Yesterday the archive of BLS B has visited Ahn, together with Wilfried von Gunten and Beat Soltis . go for a curious collector's one reason the matter to the bottom. What have discovered three excavated? So equipped, after tuna, with an audio recorder.
the start, because actually builds up to something exciting. Thank you Wilfried and beat that you gave me 7 + X minutes of your valuable time and interrupted the construction work for first information.

Kunstmuseum Luzern: Peter Fischer illuminates the back and forward and speaks up to
On 26 February 2010, the Kunstmuseum Luzern's current exhibition "reference and bias" by Peter Fischer, director of the house opened. Also, the doors opened for the Project Space Art education (from which we will report in the next few weeks often).
who now expects the usual speeches will probably be somewhat disappointed. Who a "high-threshold" Introduction to the work on show is expected, probably a bit disappointed. Those who look back over the last 10 years the art museum, expects. And a preview?
again. Who a speech, an introduction to who, who is expecting a review or preview it serves. But not only. Peter Fischer is the first time publicly, in my view very clear personal and connects his person with the museum. Where, even his critics. For 9 years he has shaped (and his team), the face of the museum. The good cheer he so also with resistance, should be clear. But "he does not care," he was initially "proud of his work."
Now it is go off again. He has overestimated himself, has arrived at the end of the road (in Lucerne). I already hear the voices of all places. But that's not my opinion. On the contrary. Who stands out and really says what he thinks, even by themselves, deserve my respect. In Switzerland, such people are not bullied rarely makes for rewarding executed. Care. No one is forced to go along his way. But each is required. Active support is required. Who wants to change is to provide power. Should get involved and do not keep their distance. I'm concerned, he should break down the (museum) walls. But not to hide behind any "dignitaries" and the famous "Yes but" throw in the room.
Peter Fischer goes on. He also looks at other famous Swiss art houses, and announces his opinion. This coupled with his concern, his vision for the future. That this is wrong, of course, I know ... .. Sacred halls must be maintained. Finally, in these cultural heritage stored (and often hidden). For the protection of whom actually? (Persön. note).
people, it is worthwhile to listen to the words at ease (even if it resonates something in the podcast). If this resonates, a big step has been made.
And again I feel one of my companion for life through my head: "Do what you can not leave, but do it" In this context I would not me an acceptance but active future cooperation .
