De hond in de pot vinden

🐩 Betekenis : ergens aankomen waar het eten net op is; vaak wordt ermee bedoeld : zó laat thuiskomen dat de andere gezinsleden al helemaal klaar zijn met eten. / te laat zijn en niets meer te eten krijgen. / te laat zijn voor het eten en alles is op!

🐶 Oorsprong : Deze uitdrukking is ontstaan doordat de hond na de maaltijd de (bijna) lege pannen en schalen mag uitlikken. Als je thuiskomt terwijl de hond al met zijn snuit in de pot zit, weet je dat je niets meer zult krijgen.

🐩🐩 Hij vindt de hond in de pot!

🐩 Literal translation in English : He finds the dog in the pan. / traduction littérale en français : Il trouve le chien dans la casserole. / wörtliche Übersetzung auf Deutsch : Er findet den Hund im Topf. / traduzione letterale in italiano : (Lui) trova il cane nella pentola.

🐩 Vertaalvoorstel in het Engels ; translation proposal in English : He arrives at an hour when there is hardly anything left to eat. / He comes at a time when there is nothing left to eat! / He arrives at a moment when he has nothing other than crumbs to eat!

🐩 Vertaalvoorstel in het Frans ; proposition de traduction en français : Il arrive au moment où il ne reste quasi rien à manger! / Il arrive au moment où il n'y a plus rien à manger! / Il arrive à une heure où il ne reste que des miettes (à manger)!

🐩 Vertaalvoorstel in het Duits; Übersetzungsvoschlag auf Deutsch : Er kommt in dem Augenblick (an), in dem es nichts mehr zu essen gibt! / Er kommt in dem Moment, in dem es kaum noch etwas zu essen gibt. / Er kommt in dem Augenblick, wo nur noch Krümel übrig sind!

Un tonneau est un assemblage de douelles, et comme l'eau remplissant un tonneau, la croissance ne peut dépasser la douelle la plus courte, c'est à dire, la ressource essentielle la plus limitée.

Image extraite du film Documentaire sans lendemain. VF (2013)
(also in #English : There's no tomorrow.)

Cette image apparaît à 22 minutes dans le docu. Elle explique que la croissance dépend de la ressource la plus limitée.
Ce docu, j'imagine que beaucoup le connaissent. Il a 10 ans.

Et en ce moment, je me demande même si on ne va pas assister à un manque de plusieurs ressources, en même temps ! Non plus seulement une seule, mais plusieurs qui vont manquer d'un coup, en même temps.

Si vous voulez, vous pouvez lister dans les commentaires, les ressources qui semblent passer dans le rouge, de façon imminente, ou au moins avant 2030, à travers divers articles sérieux.
-- Je commence par la plus évidente : le déclin d'approvisionnement en pétrole de l'Europe entière, d'ici à 2030 : Rapport du Shift Project de mai 2021
-- En France, on mise sur l'électricité, et notamment nucléaire. Mais la sécheresse remet aussi en question cette ressource, donc on assiste à une augmentation des températures qui limitent l'apport en électricité : La météo contraint EDF à réduire encore sa production nucléaire | Les Echos

Puis... Terres rares, terres arables bétonnées, terres agricoles devenues improductives car polluées, ressources en minerais divers, eau potable, eau des nappes phréatiques, réserves d'eau des glaciers, céréales, ressource halieutique.. etc...

Counseling hotline for conscientious objectors and deserters of the Ukrainian war established

"In order to be able to give the best possible support right from the start, we have set up an #counseling #hotline in #Russian, #English and #German languages for initial information for #deserters and #ConscientiousObjectors who refuse to go to #war in the various countries. They need #assistance in a language they can understand. At the same time, we have put basic information online in Russian, English and German," says Rudi Friedrich.

Eight things you use every day but never knew their name | BBC Bitesize

There’s a good chance you’ve either seen or used an aglet today. You might even have waggled your minimus, or noticed your glabella in the mirror.
Like a drupelet or a ferrule, these are all names for things that play a part in everyday life - it’s just that we may never have needed to use their official titles before. By the time you reach the end of this article, BBC Bitesize aims to help you distinguish between a obelus and an octothorpe - even if you never use any of these words, ever again…

I bet you'll never remember most of them, ever again...

there is always a new #word to be discovered, to be learned... today I read a #German #text where intrinsisch is part of a sentence; in #English it is intrinsic. within 71 years I had never before stumbled upon this word... it is a good one! #language is such a gift!

the sentence reads,

Ein einfacher Satz, der sich schließlich zu einer inneren Prägung weiterentwickelt hat. Zu einem permanenten intrinsischen Auftrag, aktiv zu sein und vor allem, die geistigen Kräfte mit den körperlichen und den schöpferischen zu vereinen.

A simple sentence that eventually developed into an inner imprint. A permanent intrinsic mandate to be active and, above all, to unite the spiritual forces with the physical and creative ones.

Hildegard von Bingen describing the female orgasm:

When a woman is making love with a man, a sense of heat in her brain, which brings with it sensual delight, communicates the taste of that delight during the act and summons forth the emission of the man’s seed. And when the seed has fallen into its place, that vehement heat descending from her brain draws the seed to itself and holds it, and soon the woman’s sexual organs contract, and all the parts that are ready to open up during the time of menstruation now close, in the same way as a strong man can old something enclosed in his fist.

I have found this exact quote on several sites, and I do understand the usage of "old" in the last sentence. "Hold" would make sense.

Does Rewboss speak German? - YouTube

Several of you have asked if I speak German. A couple of you have said you're impressed at how good my English is. Well... maybe it's time to clear up a few things and explain why I don't speak German in my videos... usually.

Hah! I really like this guy's humor!

"Benedizioni del solstizio a tutti in questo giorno più breve e nella notte più lunga. Possano le tue ombre essere illuminate da frammenti di chiarezza luminosa, la natura sconfinata della mente.

È tra i momenti più bui che ritorna la luce, invisibile ora ma sempre presente, mentre il grande intreccio del tempo si fa strada attraverso l'inverno più profondo. Spegni le notizie, perché qui non c'è panico o paura, ascolta il silenzio più profondo, il battito del cuore sempre presente, i canti degli uccelli al tramonto, i vorticosi venti del nord, il tambureggiare della pioggia o il pulsare delle onde dell'oceano, dove la quiete e movimento si riuniscono nella loro antica danza intima.

Possano tutti gli esseri vedere la luce come nient'altro che l'essenza del tuo essere-beatitudine-coscienza.

Possano tutti gli esseri in tutti i regni essere liberi da conflitti, fame, ansia e dolore.

Possano tutti gli esseri essere liberi dal bisogno di avere ragione o di avere il controllo e riposare nella vasta bellezza del momento presente.

Possano tutti gli esseri conoscere la semplice verità che non sono mai separati dalla fonte di ogni cosa, che è essa stessa la loro stessa natura, consapevolezza sempre presente.

Sapendo che tutto questo può essere libero dalla paura e vivere con facilità, bellezza e gentilezza sconfinata verso tutti gli esseri.

Mando tanto amore a tutti voi, ovunque voi abitiate o chiunque pensiate di essere, ricordate sempre che questo momento sta già passando, la luce dell'estate è già in arrivo.

Ti auguro pace e serenità nel corpo e nella mente xxx"

"Blessings of the solstice to all on this shortest day and longest night. May your shadows be illuminated by fragments of luminous clarity, the boundless nature of the mind.

It is among the darkest moments that the light returns, invisible now but always present, as the great intertwining of time makes its way through the deepest winter. Turn off the news, because there is no panic or fear here, listen to the deepest silence, the ever-present heartbeat, the birdsong at sunset, the swirling north winds, the drumming of the rain or the throb of the waves of the sun. ocean, where stillness and movement come together in their ancient intimate dance.

May all beings see light as nothing but the essence of your being-bliss-consciousness.

May all beings in all realms be free from conflict, hunger, anxiety and pain.

May all beings be free from the need to be right or to be in control and rest in the vast beauty of the present moment.

May all beings know the simple truth that they are never separated from the source of everything, which is itself their very nature, ever-present awareness.

Knowing that all of this can be free from fear and live with boundless ease, beauty and kindness towards all beings.

I send so much love to all of you, wherever you live or whoever you think you are, always remember that this moment is already passing, the light of summer is already coming.

I wish you peace and serenity in body and mind xxx "

"Bénédictions du solstice à tous en ce jour le plus court et en cette nuit la plus longue. Que vos ombres soient illuminées par des fragments de clarté lumineuse, la nature illimitée de l'esprit.

C'est parmi les moments les plus sombres que la lumière revient, invisible maintenant mais toujours présente, alors que le grand entrelacement du temps se fraie un chemin à travers l'hiver le plus profond. Éteignez les informations, car il n'y a ni panique ni peur ici, écoutez le silence le plus profond, les battements de cœur toujours présents, le chant des oiseaux au coucher du soleil, les vents du nord tourbillonnants, le tambourinage de la pluie ou le battement des vagues du soleil .océan, où l'immobilité et le mouvement se rejoignent dans leur ancienne danse intime.

Puissent tous les êtres voir la lumière comme rien d'autre que l'essence de votre conscience d'être-béatitude.

Puissent tous les êtres de tous les royaumes être libérés des conflits, de la faim, de l'anxiété et de la douleur.

Que tous les êtres soient libérés du besoin d'avoir raison ou d'avoir le contrôle et se reposent dans la vaste beauté du moment présent.

Puissent tous les êtres connaître la simple vérité qu'ils ne sont jamais séparés de la source de tout, qui est elle-même leur nature même, la conscience toujours présente.

Es uno de los momentos más oscuros cuando la luz regresa, invisible ahora pero siempre presente, mientras el gran entrelazamiento del tiempo se abre paso a través del invierno más profundo.

"Benoj de la solstico al ĉiuj en ĉi tiu plej mallonga tago kaj plej longa nokto. Ke viaj ombroj estu lumigitaj per fragmentoj de luma klareco, la senlima naturo de la menso.

Estas inter la plej malhelaj momentoj, ke la lumo revenas, nevidebla nun sed ĉiam ĉeesta, dum la granda interplektiĝo de la tempo faras sian vojon tra la plej profunda vintro. Malŝaltu la novaĵojn, ĉar ĉi tie ne estas paniko aŭ timo, aŭskultu la plej profundan silenton, la ĉiamĉeestan korbaton, la birdokanton ĉe la sunsubiro, la kirliĝantajn nordajn ventojn, la tamburadon de la pluvo aŭ la pulsadon de la ondoj de la suno. oceano, kie kvieto kaj movo kuniĝas en sia antikva intima danco.

Ke ĉiuj estaĵoj vidu lumon kiel nenio krom la esenco de via esti-feliĉa-konscio.

Ke ĉiuj estaĵoj en ĉiuj regnoj estu liberaj de konflikto, malsato, angoro kaj doloro.

Ke ĉiuj estaĵoj estu liberaj de la bezono esti pravaj aŭ regi kaj ripozi en la vasta beleco de la nuna momento.

Ke ĉiuj estaĵoj sciu la simplan veron, ke ili neniam estas apartigitaj de la fonto de ĉio, kio mem estas ilia propra naturo, ĉiamĉeesta konscio.

Sciante, ke ĉio ĉi povas esti libera de timo kaj vivi kun senlima facileco, beleco kaj bonkoreco al ĉiuj estaĵoj.

Mi sendas tiom da amo al vi ĉiuj, kie ajn vi loĝas aŭ kiu ajn vi pensas, ke vi estas, ĉiam memoru, ke ĉi tiu momento jam pasas, la lumo de somero jam venas.

More of everything

A film about Swedish Forestry

Subtitles are available in #English, #German, #Portuguese, #Finnish and #Swedish

Mankind has caused a two-fold global existential crisis. Interlinked threats of climate change and loss of biodiversity are now our most difficult challenges. The policy decisions made in the next few years will be critical. How we manage the world’s forests is central to maintaining biodiversity, protecting ecosystem functions and preserving the climate. Halting the destruction and fragmentation of natural forests as well as restoring, expanding and adapting the world’s forests to climate change is fundamental.

Scientists and the environmental movement have for decades warned about the negative effect that burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) has on climate and environment. There is no question - the fossil era is over. We must urgently phase out fossil energy, as quickly as possible. The focus, however, must be on reducing all combustion and decreasing energy use, not to replace one carbon-source with another.

At the international level and within the EU, various solutions and policies aim to regulate emissions and stimulate what is hoped to be sustainable solutions. Biofuels from forests are highlighted as a climate-friendly important piece of the puzzle by lobbyists from the biomass and forest industry. In the film, we ask whether burning trees really is a climate-smart alternative?

Decisions will be made, or have already been made, on climate and energy policies that affect the world’s forests. Policies on bio-economy and energy from biomass risk being in strong conflict with protecting biodiversity and mitigating climate change.

The Swedish forestry model is promoted as a success story, promising both climate change mitigation and safeguarding of biodiversity, but is this really true? In this film, a number of prominent independent scientists and experts are helping us examine the claims that the forest industry is spreading about the Swedish forestry model and the bio-economy.

The impact of the Swedish forestry model is not limited to Sweden but has implications for the rest of the world as well. Some of the world’s and EU’s largest forestry, hygiene, paper, furniture and wood companies such as SCA, Holmen, Stora Enso, Sveaskog, IKEA and Essity, all originate from or have their base in Sweden. Some of these companies source wood and pulp and operate in many parts of the world, thus spreading the Swedish forestry model around the globe.

In times of climate change, the forest industry claims to hold the magic wand: Wood. Wood is to be used for everything from energy, disposable articles in cardboard and paper, packaging and makeup, to fuel, for an ever-expanding transport sector. To push this narrative, the forest industry spends millions on advertising, public relations and lobbying in order to present their products and raw materials as the solution for a sustainable future. Representatives of the forest industry and members of Swedish parliament praise the Swedish forestry model which they claim has taken Sweden from ”a more or less deforested nation” hundred years ago to a rich forested nation today.

The forest industry portrays Sweden as a country with vast and increasing forests. The industry goes as far as to claim that: “The forest industry is making biodiversity possible” and that Swedish forestry is balancing the needs of the economy and the environment, and that 2 to 3 trees are being planted for each tree that is felled. Slogans like; for more than 100 years Sweden has been planting more trees than it cuts down, are being spread.

More of everything?

Can we really say that a planted monoculture of pine or spruce in straight lines is a forest? Or is a forest something more than just trees?
