Hans-Jörg Stark

Audiostretto 59/4/24 is a daily podcast with an encouraging impulse for the day. Because many people today have little time in a day with a full agenda, this input is a maximum of 59 seconds long. So it"s analogous to a ristretto: short, strong and invigorating. 59 seconds for 24 hours!

Yoghurt pot

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/06/02

As a child, yoghurt was something extraordinary for us. We were given it on rare occasions, for example when we were ill, to cheer us up. I still like to eat yoghurt today, but preferably without sugar, because I think most of them contain too much unnecessary sugar. But what all yoghurts have in common is that they usually have very attractive packaging: a buttery pot with an equally colourful lid. So you can't see the yoghurt at all. You're buying a pig in a poke, so to speak, or simply

On the occasion of birthdays and parties, children have the opportunity to have their faces painted. Many have their faces painted as animals and then wear a corresponding costume at carnival, for example, so that it is clear to everyone around them what kind of animal they are. Depending on the child's personality, they then behave in the same way: they hiss or move in the same way as they have seen this animal do. And of course they want to be treated accordingly by their environment - just

Nets

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/05/31

Nets in sport can be found on the goals in football or in handball. They help to recognise whether the ball is actually in the goal or not. A wall as a solid surface would quickly throw the ball back again and it would remain unclear whether the ball was really in the goal or just outside or on the post. The net catches the ball within the defined area - for example the goal. If necessary, the net slows down the fast movement of the ball and keeps it in place so that there is no uncertainty as to

Familiar

2024/05/30

Surely you have also felt the need for a familiar conversation. You wanted to discuss something, ask a question or simply share something personal. For this to work well, at least one thing is important: no time pressure. And ideally undivided attention from the other person. While you can pass on instructions or information spontaneously and in passing, this is not ideal for personal matters and can leave an impression of a lack of appreciation. What applies to you naturally also applies to

Seasoning

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/05/29

Switzerland has THE spice: Aromat! As children, we were allowed to eat bread with butter and Aromat with a host family. It was like a special meal. Aromat is officially and neutrally known as a seasoning and comes in a container similar to salt or pepper, but larger. However, Aromat has the property that it clumps together relatively quickly - and so it can happen that the sprinkling container is full of the spice, but because it has clumped together inside as a result of not being used for too

Garden herbs

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/05/28

In nature, we marvel at lush plants, especially those that serve us as food: Gorgeous cherry trees or apple or pear trees or berry bushes with their fruit. It is a pleasure to harvest and then enjoy them. The same applies to strawberries, which grow close to the ground and can be enjoyed from the bush to the mouth. And then there are the herbs. These are relatively small and yet often look rather simple, almost pathetic. No pretty flowers or fruit. But some of them are so full of flavour that they

Constipation

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/05/27

If you have a cold, your nose is blocked. This is unpleasant. Sometimes only one nostril is affected and you can still breathe normally to some extent. If both nostrils are blocked, you have to breathe through your mouth, which is also not very pleasant. All in all, it's annoying, but you can still cope relatively well with everyday life. Nasal drops can help by decongesting the mucous membrane for a certain period of time and thus opening up the passage for reasonably normal breathing. What

Shaken

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/05/26

ShakenWhen you make coffee with a portafilter, you fill it with ground coffee powder. However, before you insert the portafilter into the machine and brew the coffee, you tap the portafilter a few times on a hard surface so that the powder you have just filled in collapses and then you press it flat with a tamper. Only then is the coffee brewed. This means that nothing remains of the original height of the mountain of powder and the original volume is substantially reduced. So what originally

Stairs

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/05/26

Stairs are a practical way of overcoming a difference in height. You overcome the difference in height step by step - whether up or down. In the vast majority of cases, you also have a good foothold, so you can step safely and firmly, which is helpful when ascending and descending and protects you from unintentionally slipping. However, there are different types of steps: those that feel ideal for your own stride length, others seem difficult because they are either too high or too shallow and

Nutshell

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/05/25

They say 'hard shell, soft centre'. The image of the nut is used here. To open the nut, a nutcracker is used, for example, which transfers the force to the shell and cracks it so that the kernel of the nut becomes accessible. The shell often splinters in the process and the kernel is also damaged by the violent opening. This is the force variant. However, there are also suitable tools which, especially in the case of tree nuts, have a thin, stable shape that allows them to penetrate the

Keep-fresh box

Food storage boxes keep food fresh. However, they also need the right environment. So what needs to be stored in the fridge also belongs in a food storage box in the fridge and what does not, does not. Some boxes can be sealed airtight, others are more open. Some are light-proof because this is better for storing certain foods, while others are transparent and allow an overview of the contents at any time without opening the container: what is inside, how much of it and what condition the goods are

Weather side

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/05/23

In forests or free-standing trees, the weather side can often be recognised by the heavier moss growth or greenish discolouration of these trees. The weather side is the side of an outdoor object - which can also be a building - that is mainly exposed to wind and precipitation, i.e. the weather. So on the one hand, the weather leaves traces and on the other hand, the objects absorb these impressions or residues - in other words, they are characterised by what happens. We humans function in a

Responsibility

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/05/22

Not so long ago there was this provocative slogan "Stinginess is cool" and many people meant it not just ironically, but seriously. Financial optimisation, as much yield or return as possible for as little investment as possible. In the western world, we can afford such ideas or approaches. In many areas, we are in a better position than the poor. But this actually means: the more power, the more responsibility. Today, however, this is often ignored and a lot of power means a lot of

Field of vision

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/05/21

Old bunkers often have small hatches. These were used to give the soldiers in the bunker the greatest possible ability to react to the outside with the smallest possible attack surface and the opportunity to get a visual impression of the situation outside. It is only a very small area in which the defence can be attacked and, as mentioned, in addition to the field of fire to the outside, it is also used for visual inspection. We all know people from our social environment who withdraw and isolate

Stamp

Audiostretto 59/4/24 English ·

2024/05/20

To send a letter, you must affix a stamp to the envelope. If this is not done, the letter may be sent, but you will subsequently receive a request for payment. The stamp is therefore a kind of credit system: I buy a certain amount beforehand and can spend it and send letters as long as this credit is still available. Today, we often live the other way round: we first spend money that we don't have and then pay afterwards. As long as these expenses are based on an account that can cover these

Misinformation

2024/05/19

It's amazing and even frightening what artificial intelligence can do today. Images can be artificially generated that are almost indistinguishable from the real thing. This poses a massive threat to the trustworthiness of information. More and more often, the question arises: is what I am seeing, hearing or reading true? How can I be sure that it is? This can not only be unsettling, but also threatening. This effect is also used deliberately in warfare today. In the end, trust suffers and

Bicycle chain

2024/05/18

To make progress on your bike, you need a few basic components that work well together. This includes the bicycle chain. If this is not well adjusted or is old or otherwise limited in its function, it can be a hassle. I experienced how a colleague's chain broke on a bike tour. We were somewhere in the middle of the countryside. He had no choice but to hold on to someone who was pulling him. The chain must also be well matched to the cogs on which it lies and which ensure the drive via the power

Every now and then I am woken up in the morning by the birds and their chirping. It's nicer than being woken up by a construction machine. But what I have noticed is that the chirping is totally mixed up. I had the impression that none of the birds were listening to each other, they were all chattering wildly and without interruption. Why do they do that? Is birdsong also a form of communication, like language? In any case, it got me thinking, or rather it made me want to dedicate an episode to

Balls

2024/05/16

We know many different balls: There are footballs, handballs, medicine balls, basketball balls, floorball balls, baseball balls and probably many more. I learnt that you can't play football with volleyballs because they suffer badly. And nobody would probably play basketball with a medicine ball because it's so heavy. Each ball for its own purpose or sport. That makes sense. But if we are honest, we often don't behave like this in other areas of life: we try to apply opinions or

Innovation

2024/05/15

Life is constant change or continuous change or everything in a state of flux - and whatever the phrases are called. The fact is: very little stays the same. Not only is this world subject to time and therefore to decay, but the process of change is sometimes very actively pursued and is even decisive here and there, sometimes even life-saving. However, change is not easy for everyone. For some people, things happen too quickly or they would like things to be the way they used to be - whatever that
