Breitkirch 2 - The Saga Continues!

After the hugely successful first season, the Deutsche Fernsehen is now back with ZDF-Hitshow Breitkirch's  SEASON 2 !

From the network we all know and love for producing classics of Deutsches Fernsehen like Arzt Wer and Übernatürlich:

Expect more mysteries, heartbreaking destinies, terrible secrets and the past catching up with our favourite characters in this large scale production with celebrities all over the cast - both recurring and newly joining high-profile actors, actresses and guest stars!

Welcome back to the nation's second favourite couple of detectives, right after Hubert und Staller: We return to the East Frisian Kleinstadt of Breitkirch with Julia Koschitz as Elli Müller and Christoph Maria Herbst as Alex Hartig - but wait! Why, you ask, doesn't this read Oberinspektor Hartig?

The 2nd season starts right where season 1 left off: Our protagonists know now that Josef Müller (Jürgen Vogel) killed Dani Sörensen, but will they need to prove it in court? And what did the devastating news do to the once so idyllic town of Breitkirch?

We see Elli, who has been degraded and is now a mere Verkehrspolizist, and her former boss, Bavarian police officer Alex Hartig, who due to health issues was forced to step away from active duty and is now in charge of the Jungbullen.

Next to many familiar faces, there are also lots of exciting new ones, with an A+ casting that will leave absolutely nobody disappointed:

Firstly introduced are Nora Tschirner and Markus Lanz as Klara and Leander Aschenwert - but who are they and why are they only now joining the Breitkirch community?

New cast members: Markus Lanz and Nora Tschirner as Leander and Klara Aschenwert.

More splendid new members of the cast are Senta Berger as Joseline Ritter and Barbara Becker as Scharon Bischof, two attorneys and former colleagues who have just not yet seen the last of each other - but where does their rivalry come from? And how are their respective junior barristers, Abi Tomasson and Ben Heuwald, portrayed by celebrity guest-starring comedian and blogger Hazel Brugger and former YouTube sensation Phil Laude, involved?

The courtroom team at work: Phil Laude as Ben Heuwald, Senta Berger as Joseline Ritter, Barbara Becker as Scharon Bischof and Hazel Brugger as Abi Tomasson (from left to right).

We also finally dig deeper into Alex Hartig’s background and get to know his family: Ex-wife Tess (Carolin Kebekus) and daughter Desiree (the latter being portrayed brilliantly by Lilli Schweiger)! But not only that, we also learn more about the case that left him traumatised and lead him to Breitkirch in the first place: At last, we get to unravel the mysterious case of Sandbrück!

The not-so-happy family of the detective: Christoph Maria Herbst reprising his role as policeman, but now also as a father, with Lilli Schweiger as daughter Desiree and Carolin Kebekus as Ex-wife Tess.

In Sandbrück, another small town a little further from the coast of the Wattenmeer, as we know from season 1, two girls have disappeared, 12 year old Pippa Gruber (Emma Schweiger) and her older cousin Lisa Neuberger (Luna Schweiger). But what happened to them, and why is Pippa's father Richi Gruber (Daniel Brühl) so interested in getting Alex Hartig off the case? And what does his Ex-wife Kati (Jessica Schwarz) have to say about it? Join us for season 2, and find out!

Leander Aschenwert (Markus Lanz) being confronted by really properly angry Alex Hartig.

Luna Schweiger as Lisa Neuberger on the left, Emma Schweiger as her cousin Pippa Gruber on the right.

Daniel Brühl and Jessica Schwarz as the troubled parents of Sandbrück, Richi and Kati Gruber.

All the new and old faces, left to right: Nora Tschirner, Senta Berger, Barbara Becker, Florian David Fitz (back as Reverend Paul Jacke); Julia Koschitz, Christoph Maria Herbst, Hazel Brugger, Martina Hill, Jan Josef Liefers (recurring as Bettina and Mark Sörensen); on the far right Markus Lanz, Anke Engelke and Matthias Schweighöfer, the latter two as the reporter-duo Magdi Krasskliff and Oliver Steffensen.

And again, as an exclusive preview, a couple iconic and memorable quotes from this brand new season - exclusively for you, now:

Israel Turned Into A ‘Medical Dictatorship’

Israelis protest against the government's handling of coercion of vaccines, on haBima Square in Tel Aviv, on February 15, 2021. Photo by Tomer Neuberg/FLASH90

Israel’s Green Passport system, where Israeli citizens must show that they have received two doses of the Pfizer vaccine or that they have recovered from COVID-19 in order to gain admission to restaurants, gyms, pools, hotels, synagogues and other public buildings, is creating a system of “medical apartheid.” That’s the claim of Ilana Rachel Daniel, an English-speaking candidate for Rappeh, the new human rights political party in Israel. Daniel, who is an Israel-based health advisor, researcher, activist and writer shared strong words of warning in an interview earlier this week on The Alex Jones Show. The two discussed Israel’s growing reputation for medical tyranny. Jones asserted that “Israel is the most draconian (other than some areas of Australia) in the world. The stuff we see coming out of Israel is like a science fiction, dystopic movie.” Daniel represents Rappeh, the new Israeli political party that is fighting against government policies, such as the Green Passport, that compromise the rights of Israeli citizens. She elaborated on the background, stating that Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that he intends to vaccinate the entire Israeli population by the end of this month. “More than five million of our only nine million citizens have already been injected with at least the first shot of this Pfizer vaccine,” she said. “There was a contract signed between our government and Pfizer and we were not privy to any of it. There was no democratic due process. It’s been an extremely forceful, without informed consent, rollout of this program. “The Israeli people have sat in a cumulative five months of lockdown. And you’re talking a tiny country and very tiny little apartments. We’ve really been terrorized by our government. We’ve manufactured, overnight, a police state. It’s turned police against law-abiding, healthy citizens. There’s an atmosphere of fear and distrust between our government and ourselves, which has been very painful. “They have changed from morning to night, from day to day, from week to week, the regulations and the policies.” Daniel refers to the government policies as, “behavior modification.” She elaborated on the danger the government’s seemingly capricious decisions have on democracy. “[T]here is a 30-year confidentiality act that prevents the Israeli citizens from knowing anything that happens in the [government’s] Corona Committee and why they implement these extraordinary policies. It’s completely opaque. We have no idea what they’re deciding on, which is pretty extraordinary.

GET OUT! - Foreigners Being Kicked Out of China May 1, 2022    

ADVChina          

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VgGTJQKu90

Foreigners have never been welcome in China. Now they are being kicked out!

While the pandemic and censorship are reported facets, economic factors are at play.

China Sees Record Bond-Market Retreat by Foreign Investors

Marks first monthly withdrawal by global investors since March

Speculation that it could reflect Russian move to raise cash

Bloomberg News March 7, 2022,

Foreign investors reduced their holdings of Chinese government bonds by the most ever last month as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine roiled fixed-income markets worldwide.

Overseas investors sold a net 35 billion yuan ($5.5 billion) of Chinese government bonds in February, marking the largest monthly cut on record and the first reduction since March 2021, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Their holdings fell to 2.48 trillion yuan from a record 2.52 trillion in January.

The scale of the pullback spurred talk that some of the selling may have come from Russia as sanctions from the U.S. and European Union cut off the Russian central bank’s access to much of its $643 billion in foreign reserves. As of June, China’s yuan accounted for 13% of those reserves, according to the central bank data. Analysts at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group estimated that Russia’s central bank and sovereign wealth fund probably own a combined $140 billion of Chinese bonds.

Alex Etra, a senior strategist at Exante Data, said he couldn’t rule out the possibility of the Russian central bank selling, while the repatriation flows, particularly those of European bond funds, also contributed to the outflow. He estimated that bond funds’ outflow from China to be as much as $1.5 billion over the past four weeks.

February’s outflow marked an abrupt reversal of the recent trend. Inflows averaged 72 billion yuan a month since the end of October, when FTSE Russell added Chinese bonds to its global benchmark. In February, foreign investors also sold 28.5 billion yuan of policy bank notes.

It’s speculation but “of course possible” that the Russian central bank sold the bonds to “generate cash,” said Rob Drijkoningen, a portfolio manager at Neuberger Berman Europe Ltd. It’s also likely the reduced yield differential “plays a big role” in the outflow, he said.

Shrinking Premium

China’s narrowing yield advantage over U.S. bonds, a result of their diverging monetary policies, has also eroded the allure of the Chinese securities. At about 2.8%, yields on 10-year Chinese bonds are about 105 basis points higher than Treasuries, compared with a gap of more than 220 basis points at the end of 2020.

The benchmark 10-year yield rose eight basis points last month, most since October amid growing bets for fiscal stimulus measures as the government targets an ambitious growth rate of 5.5% this year. Domestic banks, brokerages and funds cut China government bond holdings in February, according to Chinabond data.

Waning hopes for monetary easing have already prompted AllianceBernstein Holding LP and Pacific Investment Management Co. to sour on Chinese debt.

On Monday, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. lowered its assessment of Chinese sovereign bonds from bullish to neutral in the near term on the risk that they may come under selling pressure if funds fall short of cash amid emerging market outflows.

“In a risk-off situation it wouldn’t be surprising to see foreign investors trim down their portfolio and hold more cash,” said Stephen Chiu, chief Asia FX and rates strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence. Foreigners held 11.14% of Chinese government bonds as of January, close to their 13% holdings of Japanese government debt, Chiu said, adding that investors may be nearing their limit for China.

Fariborz Maseeh Hall at Portland State University in Oregon

Design: Hacker

Location: Portland, Oregon, USA

Fariborz Maseeh Hall at Portland State University

The task, transform the outdated fortress-like 1960s Neuberger Hall (currently named Fariborz Maseeh Hall) into a modern, interactive, light-filled academic hub.

The five-story building was originally built in the Brutalist-style, a common campus aesthetic which reflected the pragmatic and inwardly focused buildings of that era. A half-century later, these buildings represent the antithesis of the open, flexible environments called for today.

Evolving this building to meet the current needs focused on three key strategies: 1) re-centering the design to the user—the students, faculty, community members, and others who use the building; 2) prioritizing life-cycle and life safety upgrades to the building as a whole; and 3) engaging with owners, contractors, consultants and subcontractors in collaborative, fine-grained decision-making that preserved as many opportunities as possible to support all Portland State University students.

The design concept repositions the building—which functions as a central student hub with classrooms, lecture halls, student services, and faculty offices—through a series of interventions, renovations, and expansions.

The result is an engaging, open, and humane experience. With an emphasis on access to daylight and connections between indoor and outdoor spaces, the 250,000-square-foot building now enhances campus function, while better connecting and responding to its urban setting.

The original building was completed in two phases, 1961 and 1969. The two elements are now joined by a common floor plan, while their distinct exterior appearances are preserved. Through a rigorous programming exercise, the removal of 20,000-square-feet of floor area for the light well reduced only 3,000-square-feet of assignable space, while improving program efficiency and flexibility with the additional floor area at the interior with access to daylight. Exterior facades were upgraded through new curtainwall systems. That increase visibility while enhancing energy performance.

A new central light well brings daylight into the heart of the building, and a more transparent facade provides visual connectivity to the outdoors. The new floor plan now provides students, faculty, and staff with enhanced opportunities for cross-pollination. Improved ground floor program distribution also now provides visual and physical connections between the plaza and park amenity spaces and expands opportunities for more student activity and interaction outside of the classroom.

The physical connections are improved through a continuous accessible floor plan with full ADA access and enhanced way finding. Previously closed-in hallways and circulations now have unobstructed line of sight between the building’s eastern and western perimeter.

By renovating Fariborz Maseeh Hall rather than demolishing and rebuilding, the team was able to preserve the embodied carbon of the building and substantially reduce carbon emissions. Together, the combination of replacing all windows with high performing substitutes and the increased daylight into the building, reduces the building’s energy demand by 25% from the CBEC baseline model of buildings of similar size and use.

Daily Crunch: Peloton might expand its product lineup

Peloton’s product lineup is both getting cheaper and more expensive, Nintendo announces a new retro device and Palantir reveals more about its governance plans. This is your Daily Crunch for September 4, 2020.

The big story: Peloton might expand its product lineup

Peloton is preparing to add new products at both ends of its pricing range, according to a report in Bloomberg.

Specifically, it’s planning to add an entry-level treadmill that would retail for less than $3,000, as well as a higher-end bike, called the Bike+, which could serve as a centerpiece for a home gym that also supports strength training and other workouts. Meanwhile, Peloton would also drop the price for its existing bike to under $1,900.

Altogether, this sounds like a smart way to both lower the price of entry while also creating new products for people who don’t feel safe going to the gym (assuming it’s open at all) during the pandemic.

The tech giants

Nintendo is remaking the first portable gaming system it ever built —  For nearly a decade before Nintendo released the iconic Game Boy, it was making the Game & Watch, which it’s now planning to re-release in a limited edition.

Google pushes Europe to limit ‘gatekeeper’ platform rules — Google has made its pitch to shape the next decades of digital regulation across the European Union.

Startups, funding and venture capital

In amended filing, Palantir admits it won’t have independent board governance for up to a year — Palantir’s model is unique in allowing founders to have a commanding vote even if they were to sell their shares.

Yandex spins out self-driving car unit from its Uber JV, invests $150M into new company — The move comes amid reports that Yandex and Uber were eyeing up an IPO for their joint venture MLU last year.

Teemyco creates virtual offices so you can grab a room and talk with colleagues — The company wants to foster spontaneous interactions and casual collaboration with a room-based interface.

Hyperallergic: A Cerebral Portraitist‘s Unaccountable Neglect

Marcia Marcus, “Florentine Landscape (1961), oil on canvas, 78 ½ x 94 ½ inches, Neuberger Museum of Art Purchase College, State University of New York; gift of Roy R. Neuberger (all images courtesy Eric Firestone Gallery, New York)

The reverberations of curator Melissa Rachleff’s exhibition, Inventing Downtown: Artist-Run Galleries in New York City, 1952–1965 at the Grey Art Gallery, New York University (January 10–April 1, 2017), continue to be felt. In that eye-opening exhibition, which contained work by many women artists (Lois Dodd, Rosalyn Drexler, and Jean Follet) and artists of color (Ed Clark, Tadaaki Kuwayama, and Norman Lewis), Marcia Marcus’s painting “Self-Portrait in Fur Jacket” (1959) was one of the standouts.

According to Rachleff, Marcus exhibited 10 self-portraits in April 1960 in Red Grooms’ Delancey Street Museum, shortly before it closed its doors: “These ten paintings depict Marcus through feminine tropes, from Medusa to high-society women to vamps, and the show was favorably reviewed.” The reviews did not lead to commercial success, however, which was not surprising since Marcus was a woman.

In 1960, the art world was not ready to accept Marcus’s conceptual approach to portraiture. While Marcus exhibited sporadically in New York between 1957 and 1979, and was included in many group shows, including one at Pace Gallery in 1981, she seems to have become one of the invisibles.

Marcia Marcus, “Frieze: The Porch” (1964), oil and collage on canvas, 77 x 115 inches

Marcus is a forerunner who has not received the recognition she deserves. Rachleff’s inclusion of “Self-Portrait in Fur Jacket” was a first step, but more need to be taken. Thankfully, someone noticed and we can now see 19 of her portraits and self-portraits in Marcia Marcus, Role Play: Paintings 1958 – 1973 at Eric Firestone Gallery (October12–December 2, 2017), a number of which come from museums and private collections.

Make no mistake. Between 1958 and ’73, the period covered by the exhibition, Marcus achieved something as singular and powerful as any of her more celebrated male counterparts, including Alex Katz and Philip Pearlstein. Even now, nearly 50 years after “Anna” (1973), the latest dated work in the show, her paintings look fresh and cerebral in a confident way. Marcus could be witty in her paintings even as she found different ways to challenge herself. Look at the understated attention she pays to cloth, pattern, and surfaces (shoes), or at the spatial complexity she achieves in “Double Portrait” (1962), “Frieze: The Porch” (1964), and “Family II” (1970) and you will be left with no doubt in your mind about how good she really is.

Marcus attended Cooper Union (1950-52), where her classmates included Katz and Lois Dodd. In “Marcia” (1959), Katz painted the artist in a white outfit, which we see her wearing in “Self-Portrait in White Dress” (1959). In 1954, Marcus attended the Art Students League (1954), where she studied with Edwin Dickinson. From him, she acquired a love for gray and perhaps the idea of dressing up.

Marcia Marcus, “Nude (Judy)” (1965), oil and silver leaf on canvas, 23 ½ x 48 inches

In “Nude (Judy)” (1965), she give us a cropped view of a female nude – her breasts and crotch – in shades of gray, with silver leaf functioning as an architectonic element. This and other paintings Marcus executed in grays or a highly circumscribed tonal palette would more than hold their own against Dickinson’s own tonal canvases. All the paintings on view that are done in a restricted palette are dated 1965 or ’66, which seems to suggest that these works constitute a self-contained group within her oeuvre.

In addition to Dickinson, Marcus absorbed lessons from fresco painting and Byzantine portraits. She painted her figures flat with a dry brush, and liked to present them frontally. Even when we see them from the side, Marcus finds ways to acknowledge the picture plane. The colors are chalky. Committed to direct observation, she brought a rare fancifulness into her work.

In “Florentine Landscape” (1961), one of the largest paintings in the exhibition, she depicts her friend, Red Grooms, as a recumbent, semi-nude odalisque in the extreme foreground, stretched along the bottom of the painting. Grooms is rendered in pale yellows, with a striped yellow cloth draped over his hips, a color scheme that sets him apart from the rest of the painting, which is dominated by muted grays, browns, and greens. He is lying in front of an elevated, low-walled enclosure that recedes behind him. A woman in a faded violet toga stands in the far distance, and off to her right, leaning against the garden’s low wall and gripping a tangled white-and-black flag beside him, is a young man in a black ski mask, brown sleeveless t-shirt, and gray shorts.

Returning to Grooms, we notice that, while the blanket he is lying on, which appears to be decorated with Native American symbols, is tilted up towards the picture plane, with Grooms’s torso and legs parallel to it, everything else in the picture is rendered in single-point perspective. The disjuncture is deliberate, further underscoring the mystery of the scene

Marcia Marcus, “Family II” (1970), acrylic and gold leaf on canvas, 70 x 95 inches

One of Marcus’s innovations is the way she divides the space inhabited by her subjects. In “Family II (1970), her daughters sit on a white wicker love seat in a pristine white room, where an arched entry looms to their right. Their father, dressed in a blue and white robe, stands to the right of the archway, partially blocking it. In the gray space defined by the archway, we see a woman in the mid-ground, in red robe. Behind her and framing her form, a window opens on a sand embankment and clumps of dune grass. While the three figures in the foreground are presented frontally, the woman is depicted in profile, her head turned towards the viewer, aware that someone is looking.

On one hand, Marcus’s painting is deadpan, with large areas of flat color. Spatially, however, the placement, size, and separation of the figures invite viewers to supply a narrative. Whatever emotions and ideas are bubbling beneath the painting’s cool, calm surface, the tension we feel is arrived at formally. In fact, the only portrait that shows a family existing in the same unified space, forming a single unit, is “Yyna, Alvin, and Baby” (1970/71), depicting an African American family she knew from the summers she spent in Provincetown, Massachusetts, painting in a dune shack.

Marcia Marcus, “Jack” (1964), Oil on canvas, 24 ¾ x 16 inches

Marcus’s other innovation is in terms of subject matter. Her depictions of African Americans in “Jack” (1964), “Renoir” (1968), and “Tyna, Alvin, and Baby” (1970/71) at the height of the Civil Rights Movement in a country undergoing social upheaval, can be seen as a forerunner to the work of Kerry James Marshall and Barkley L. Hendricks.

“Jack,” who is shown in profile, is wearing a white shirt and white sweater with a blue and red neckline, which I have always thought of as an emblem of the Ivy League. Long before Cindy Sherman played at dress-up, Marcus recognized that presentation was central to one’s interaction with the world.

I have no idea of how many works Marcus made over the course of her career (she is still alive but no longer making art), but the 19 paintings in this exhibition made me very curious to know and see more. Her work addresses a wide range of formal and social issues directly and indirectly. She is the forerunner of Catherine Murphy and the melding together of direct observation and the imagination. Someone should really do a book on her.

Marcia Marcus, Role Play: Paintings 1958 – 1973 continues at Eric Firestone Gallery (4 Great Jones St #4, Noho, Manhattan) through December 2, 2017.
