Gelesen auf der Website aus Berlin: Cicero dot de Teile ich als Anregung, und nicht im Ganzen meine Meinuung, weil es immer zu differenzieren gilt: Was ist angemessen Cui Bono Vorbilder Zeitgeist Die gute alte Vorbildfunktion (From Website Cicero) see above - quoted: ... "Das meine ich dann auch, wenn ich weiter oben schreibe, dass man die Debatte über die Beauty-Ausgaben der Bundesaußenministerin – und überhaupt jede Debatte über jeden Euro, den die Bundesregierung irgendwohin überweist – in einem größeren Kontext betrachten muss. Anders formuliert: Es ist schlicht unglaubwürdig, wenn man in Medien und Politik den Verzicht predigt, aber so tut, als seien 137.000 Euro für eine Visagistin oder 180.000 Euro für einen Fotografen, finanziert vom Steuerzahler, nur eine kaum relevante Randnotiz.  Und weil dem so ist, fällt mir am Ende dieses Beitrags meine Mutter wieder ein. Bevor die sich einen neuen Hosenanzug von der Stange oder einen günstigen Lippenstift vom Drogeriemarkt kaufte, wurde erstmal der Kühlschrank gefüllt, dafür gesorgt, dass daheim alles läuft und sauber ist, dass es den eigenen Kindern an nichts mangelt und alle Rechnungen bezahlt sind. Schon deshalb, weil sie mit gutem Beispiel vorangehen wollte. Mittlerweile ist meine Mutter 62 Jahre jung und hat ein neues Hobby für sich entdeckt: Sie strickt den Großteil ihrer Klamotten jetzt einfach selbst – und sieht, wenn sie aus dem Haus geht, immer noch blendend aus."

Flares

Dropping flares from a jet to a helicopter is a tactical maneuver that serves a specific purpose in military aviation. Countermeasures Against Heat-Seeking Missiles: Flares are used as countermeasures to defend against heat-seeking surface-to-air or air-to-air missiles that are fired at planes and helicopters. When an enemy missile is launched, it homes in on the heat signature emitted by the aircraft's engines or afterburners. The flares serve as decoys by burning at thousands of degrees Celsius, which is much hotter than the exhaust heat from the aircraft's engines. By deploying flares, the aircraft attempts to divert the missile away from the actual target (the aircraft) and toward the heat source (the flares). How It Works: When a missile is detected, the pilot releases a flare dispenser that ejects several flares. These flares burn brightly, creating a false heat signature that attracts the missile. Ideally, the missile locks onto the flares instead of the aircraft, allowing the aircraft to evade the threat. Safety and Professionalism: The recent incident involving a Chinese fighter jet detonating flares close to an Australian Navy helicopter was deemed unsafe and unprofessional by the Australian Defence Department. The Chinese fighter released flares along the flight path of the Australian helicopter, posing a risk to both the aircraft and personnel. The Australian government expressed its concerns to China, emphasizing the need for professional and safe military operations. Remember, flares…

Einer wird gewinnen - und ich weiss nach einer Woche Arbeit: Es wird nicht der Bambus sein ... A long fight, but a real Warrior never gives in ... And as I am neither playing Golf nor do I go fishing ... Working in the garden is for me meditation and more ... Think first, then act. What makes you laugh?Peter H fighting against Invasive Bamboo in his Gold Coast Garden Just thought about Nietzsche and his sad ending - hugging a horse. He was looking into the eyes of the horse, and he noticed some hidden sadness there. As the horse was not able to respond, Nietzsche hugged the horse. He knew about Body Language. Then he fell silent for good. Because Silence is Golden. Music Is The Language: But Silenve is golden. Reden ist Silber - Schweigen ist Gold.

Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero, the illustrious voice of the late Roman Republic, remains one of history's paramount figures—a master orator, influential philosopher, and astute politician. Cicero is perhaps best remembered for his stunning oratory and literary skills. His speeches, letters, and treatises have survived centuries, enabling us to glimpse into the tumultuous world of the late Roman Republic³. Let's delve deeper into his life and achievements: Oratory and Rhetoric: Cicero was educated in Rome and Greece. His extensive writings include treatises on rhetoric, philosophy, and politics. He is considered one of Rome's greatest orators and prose stylists. Cicero's innovative approach to rhetoric became known as "Ciceronian rhetoric"². Political Career: As a statesman, Cicero tried to uphold optimate principles during the political crises that led to the establishment of the Roman Empire. He served as consul in 63 BC and greatly influenced both ancient and modern reception of the Latin language. His work has survived, and he was admired by both ancient and modern authors alike². Notable Works: Cicero's writings cover a wide range of topics: Orations: His speeches in legal cases and political debates showcased his eloquence. Philosophical Works: These include works like "De Oratore," "De re publica," "De Natura Deorum," and "De Officiis". Letters: His correspondence provides insights into the political and social life of ancient Rome. Treatises: Cicero explored ethics, theology, and epistemology in works like "Tusculanae Quaestiones"¹. In a…
