Andrea Bocelli  (; born 22 September 1958) is an Italian tenor. He was born visually impaired, with congenital glaucoma, and at the age of 12, Bocelli became completely blind, following a brain hemorrhage resulting from a football accident. After performing evenings in piano bars and competing in local singing contests, Bocelli signed his first recording contract with the Sugar Music label. He rose to fame in 1994, winning the newcomer's section of the 44th Sanremo Music Festival performing "Il mare calmo della sera".

Since 1994, Bocelli has recorded 15 solo studio albums of both pop and classical music, three greatest hits albums, and nine complete operas, selling over 75 million records worldwide. He has had success as a crossover performer, bringing classical music to the top of international pop charts. His album Romanza is one of the best-selling albums of all time, while Sacred Arias is the biggest selling classical album by any solo artist in history. My Christmas was the best-selling holiday album of 2009 and one of the best-selling holiday albums in the United States. The 2019 album Sì debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and US Billboard 200, becoming Bocelli's first number-one album in both countries. His song "Con te partirò", included on his second album Bocelli, is one of the best-selling singles of all time. The track was licensed to feature in a series of television commercials for TIM in the late 1990s, which eventually became very popular in Italy.

In 1998, Bocelli was named one of People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People. He duetted with Celine Dion on the song "The Prayer" for the animated film Quest for Camelot, which won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Singer Celine Dion has said that "if God would have a singing voice, he must sound a lot like Andrea Bocelli", and record producer David Foster has often described Bocelli's voice as the most beautiful in the world.

Early life
Bocelli was born with impaired sight to Alessandro and Edi Bocelli on 22 September 1958. He was born with congenital glaucoma. He stated that his mother's decision to give birth to him and overrule the doctor's advice was the inspiration for him to oppose abortion.

Bocelli grew up on his family's farm where they sold farm machinery and made wine in the small village of La Sterza, a frazione of Lajatico, Tuscany, Italy, about  south of Pisa. His mother and younger brother Alberto still live in the family home; his father died in 2000.

Bocelli showed a great passion for music as a young boy. His mother has said that music was the only thing that would comfort him. He started piano lessons at age 6 and later learned to play the flute, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, guitar, and drums. His nanny Oriana gave him the first record of Franco Corelli, and he began to show interest in pursuing the career of a tenor. By age 7, he was able to recognize the famous voices of the time and tried to emulate the great singers.

At age 12, Bocelli lost his vision completely due to a football accident. He was hit in the eye playing goalkeeper during a match and experienced a brain hemorrhage. Doctors resorted to leeches in a last-ditch effort to save his sight, but they were unsuccessful and he remained blind.

Bocelli also spent time singing during his childhood. He gave his first concert in a small village not far from where he was born. He won his first song competition at age 14 with "'O sole mio" at the Margherita d'Oro in Viareggio. He finished secondary school in 1980, and then studied law at the University of Pisa. To earn money, he performed evenings in piano bars, and it was there that he met his future wife Enrica in 1987. He completed law school and spent one year as a court-appointed lawyer.

Career

1992–1994: Sanremo and Il mare calmo della sera
In 1992, Italian rock star Zucchero held auditions for tenors to make a demo tape of his song "Miserere", to send to Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti. After hearing Bocelli on tape, Pavarotti urged Zucchero to use Bocelli instead of him. Zucchero eventually persuaded Pavarotti to record the song with Bocelli, and it became a hit throughout Europe. In Zucchero's European concert tour in 1993, Bocelli accompanied him to sing the duet, and he was also given solo sets in the concerts, singing "Nessun dorma" from Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot. Bocelli signed with the Sugar Music label in Milan after Caterina Caselli heard Bocelli sing "Miserere" and "Nessun Dorma" at a birthday party for Zucchero.

Changing the title lyric of the song to "Time to Say Goodbye", they re-recorded it as a duet with members of the London Symphony Orchestra and sang it as a farewell for Maske. The single debuted atop the German charts, where it stayed for fourteen weeks. With sales nearing three million copies, and a sextuple platinum award, "Time to Say Goodbye" eclipsed the previous best-selling single by more than one million copies.

On 3 November, My Christmas, his first Holiday album, produced by David Foster, was released and went on to become the best-selling Holiday album of the year.

In late November, the program was broadcast in Mexico and in the UK; it later aired, 15 and 25 December, on Italia 1, in Italy, 19 December, on TVE2 and TROS, in Spain and the Netherlands, and Christmas Eve, on vtm and RTL-TVI, in Belgium and Luxembourg.

He completed his performance in Leicester Square with, "God Bless Us Everyone", the closing song of the movie, which he provided the vocals for in English, Italian and Spanish. He returned to the United Kingdom, 16 December, for an appearance on The One Show, broadcast live by BBC One, and on The Alan Titchmarsh Show which aired 18 December, on ITV1.

On 21 November, a segment of Leute Heute, a German tabloid-program on ZDF, was about My Christmas and Bocelli's meeting in Rome with Pope Benedict XVI and 250 other artists, an event which was broadcast live earlier that day in Italy, by Rai Uno. Bocelli was also joined by the Piccolo Coro dell'Antoniano, in his home in Forte dei Marmi, where they sang "Caro Gesù Bambino", a song from My Christmas which was originally recorded by the choir in 1960. Rai Uno also broadcast the performance later that day, during the Zecchino d'Oro Festival. The following day, Bocelli was among Fabio Fazio's guests, on his popular Italian talk-show, Che tempo che fa, broadcast on Rai Tre. During the program Bocelli talked about his album and performed "The Lord's Prayer", "White Christmas", and "Silent Night". It was also announced that Bocelli would return to the show on 20 December and give a live concert of My Christmas.

Voice
Bocelli is a widely popular singer with a substantial fan base worldwide. However, he is also a polarizing figure in classical music, whose voice and performances
have routinely been the subject of negative reviews by critics. Italian spinto tenor Franco Corelli praised Bocelli's voice after hearing it for the first time during a master class in 1986, in Turin, and he later gave Bocelli private lessons.

Puerto Rican soprano Ana María Martínez, who regularly performs with Bocelli, said, "More than anything, Andrea has something that is unique in that he brings this light that is always around him. And this purity of heart and beauty of sound just touches the listener. It can't be described."

Celine Dion said while introducing him during her Christmas Special for These Are Special Times, in 1998, that "if God would have a singing voice, he must sound a lot like Andrea Bocelli," and David Foster, a producer of the album, often describes Bocelli's voice as the most beautiful in the world. Similarly, jazz singer Al Jarreau, who performed with Bocelli on the "Night of the Proms" tour in Europe in 1995, described him as "the most beautiful voice in the world," and American talk show host Oprah Winfrey commented on her talk show that, "when I hear Andrea sing, I burst into tears." After attending Bocelli's concert at the Hollywood Bowl in 2009, British-American actress Elizabeth Taylor said, "My mind, my soul were transported by his beauty, his voice, his inner being. God has kissed this man and I thank God for it." Taylor had been a passionate fan of Bocelli's since the beginning of his music career in the mid-1990s. Other fans include Albert II, Prince of Monaco, who invited the tenor to sing at his wedding, as well as Sarah, Duchess of York, and actress Isabella Rossellini.

Bocelli's voice, more specifically his interpretation of opera, has been regularly criticized by classical music critics. These include Bernard Holland of The New York Times and Andrew Clements of The Guardian. In 1999, The New York Times chief music critic Anthony Tommasini in his review of Bocelli's North American opera debut at the Detroit Opera House in the title role of Massenet's Werther commented, "The basic colour of Mr. Bocelli's voice is warm and pleasant, but he lacks the technique to support and project his sound. His sustained notes wobble. His soft high notes are painfully weak. Inadequate breath control often forces him to clip off notes prematurely at the end of phrases." In December 2000, Tommasini again criticised Bocelli, this time for his La bohème album when he stated that Bocelli "still has trouble with basic things, like breath support" and his voice had been "carefully recorded ... to help it match the trained voices of the other cast members in fullness and presence."

In describing Bocelli's singing, The New York Times music critic Bernard Holland noted, "the tone is rasping, thin and, in general, poorly supported. Even the most modest upward movement thins it even more, signalling what appears to be the onset of strangulation. To his credit, Mr Bocelli sings mostly in tune. But his phrasing tends toward carelessness and rhythmic jumble... The diction is not clear." Furthermore, Holland observed that "The critic's duty is to report that Mr Bocelli is not a very good singer." The Associated Press reported "Passion? Yes. Power. No. Bocelli's voice – though robust in spirit and precisely in tune, even in the upper register – had a thin quality that never opened up." Similarly, classical music critic Andrew Clements found Bocelli's studio opera recordings consistently disappointing in quality: "Bocelli's profoundly unmusical contribution, with its unvaryingly coarse tone, wayward intonation and never a phrase properly shaped, fatally undermines all their contributions." Anne Midgette of The New York Times agreed, noting "a thinness of voice, oddly anemic phrasing (including shortchanging upper notes of phrases in a most untenorial manner), a curious lack of expression."

During a 2009 performance in New York, the music critic Steve Smith wrote "For cognoscenti of vocal artistry the risks involved in Mr. Bocelli's undertakings, both then and now, need no explanation. Substantial technical shortcomings masked by amplification are laid bare in a more conventional classical setting. Mr. Bocelli's tone can be pleasant, and his pitch is generally secure. But his voice is small and not well supported; his phrasing, wayward and oddly inexpressive."

In 2010, Joe Banno of The Washington Post gave an unfavorable review of Bocelli's Carmen recording, describing the oft-noted failings in Bocelli's vocal resources on full display in this performance: "Bocelli, to be fair, possesses an essentially lovely tenor and knows his stuff when it comes to selling a pop ballad. And Decca's close miking of his puny voice inflates his sound to near-Franco Corelli-like dimensions. But his short-breathed, clumsily phrased, interpretively blank and often pinched and strained singing makes his Don Jose a tough listen."

Personal life

Bocelli met his first wife, Enrica Cenzatti, while singing at piano bars early in his career. They were married on 27 June 1992. Their first child, son Amos, was born 22 February 1995. Their second son, Matteo, was born on 8 October 1997. The couple separated in 2002.

Bocelli lives with his second wife and manager, Veronica Berti. They met in 2002. In September 2011, the couple announced that Berti was expecting her first and Bocelli's third child, a daughter, in the spring. His daughter Virginia was born 21 March 2012.

Bocelli married Veronica Berti on 21 March 2014 at the Sanctuary of Montenero in the coastal town of Livorno, Italy. The couple lives in Forte dei Marmi on the Mediterranean. Bocelli's first wife and two sons live in the couple's previous residence in the same comune, in Versilia.

On 30 April 2000, Bocelli's father, Alessandro Bocelli, died. His mother encouraged him to honor his commitments, and so he sang for Pope John Paul II, in Rome, on 1 May, and immediately returned home for the funeral. At his 5 July performance, filmed for PBS as American Dream—Andrea Bocelli's Statue of Liberty Concert, Bocelli dedicated the encore Sogno (Dream), from his 1999 album Sogno, to the memory of his father.

On 12 November 2022, Andrea, Matteo and Virginia (aged 10) sang together at The Royal Albert Hall at the UK Festival of Remembrance.

Bocelli has enjoyed horseback riding for much of his life.

A section of the beach in Jesolo, on the Italian Adriatic coast, was named after Bocelli on 11 August 2003.

In October 2013 Bocelli bought a second home in North Miami Beach.

Bocelli is a self-declared fan of Italian football club Inter Milan. In an interview in Pisa, he told a group of Inter fans that "My passion for Inter started during my college years, when Inter was winning everything in Italy and the world. When Inter won the Champions League in 2010, I was with my friends and I was listening to the game on the radio, and everything was a little bit in advance so I was celebrating before them. That night I was also brought to tears of joy. The treble is a feeling no one in Italy will be able to equal".

Teatro del Silenzio

In 2006, Bocelli convinced the municipality of his hometown Lajatico to build an outdoor theatre, the "Teatro del Silenzio". He serves as its honorary president and performs usually for one night only, every July; the rest of the year, the theatre doesn't operate.

Since its opening in 2006, guest performers have included Plácido Domingo, José Carreras, Sarah Brightman, Katherine Jenkins, Zucchero, Laura Pausini, and Elisa. Bocelli's guests have also included instrumentalists Lang Lang, Chris Botti, and Kenny G. The 2007 concert was released on CD and DVD in 2008.

Forholdet mellem Danmark og Rusland referer til de udenrigspolitiske interaktioner mellem Kongeriget Danmark og Den Russiske Føderation.

Der blev første gang etableret diplomatisk kontakt d. 8. november 1493, hvilket dengang var med Storfyrstendømmet Moskva. Dette var i form af en forsvarspagt, der blev fornyet i 1506 og 1517. Denne tradition blev fortsat med Zar-Rusland, da Frederik 2. af Danmark og Ivan 4. af Rusland underskrev Mozjajsk-traktaten. Efter kejserrigets fald etableredes d. 18. juni 1924 kontakt med Sovjetunionen.

I dag har Rusland en ambassade i København, mens Danmark har en ambassade i Moskva og en honorær konsul i Kaliningrad. Det danske generalkonsulat i Sankt Petersborg blev lukket d. 1. januar 2018. Både Rusland og Danmark er medlemmer af Europarådet og Organisationen for Sikkerhed og Samarbejde i Europa.

Sammenligning af landefakta

Nutidige forhold

Nord Stream

Nord Stream består af to parallelle naturgasledninger på 1.224 km, der går fra Vyborg i det nordvestlige Rusland gennem Østersøen til Lubmin i Tyskland og passerer dermed fem landes territorialfarvand, nemlig russisk, finsk, svensk, dansk og tysk. Den første ledning blev åbnet 8. november 2011, den anden åbnede 8. oktober 2012.
 I forbindelse med tilladelsen fra Danmark takkede den daværende russiske premierminister Vladimir Putin personligt statsminister Lars Løkke Rasmussen under statsministerens besøg i Moskva i 2009. Putin fortalte eksplicit, at tilladelsen havde givet Danmark og Rusland et bedre forhold.

I forbindelse med planerne om etableringen af en Nord Stream 2 har Danmark dog været mere tøvende.

Sprængningerne af begge Nord Stream 1 ledninger og den ene af de to Nord Stream 2 ledninger den 26. september 2022 som et formodet sabotageangreb gav anledning til styrkelse af det danske overvågningsberedskab og mange overvejelser om Danmarks sikkerhedspolitik, jvf. Gaslækagerne i Østersøen 2022 og Ruslands invasion af Ukraine 2022. I april 2023 bekræftede Forsvarskommandoen, at et russisk specialfartøj, som medfører en mini-ubåd, var blevet observeret og fotograferet af patruljefartøjet P524 Nymfen nær Nord Stream rørledningerne fire dage før de sprængtes.

Sakajev-sagen

D. 30. oktober 2002 blev den tjetjenske politiker Akhmed Sakajev anholdt af dansk politi på opfordring fra Rusland. Sakajev var i Danmark for at deltage i den tjetjenske verdenskongres, men Rusland havde eftersøgt ham via Interpol for at stå bag terrorangrebet mod Dubrovka-teateret i Moskva. Efter lidt over en måned i varetægtsfængsel blev Sakajev løsladt d. 2. december 2002 og blev dermed ikke udleveret til Rusland.

Danmarks indstilling til Rusland

Folketingspartier
Medlem af Folketinget for Radikale Venstre Martin Lidegaard skrev d. 30. marts 2016, at Danmark i højere grad skulle samarbejde med EU og NATO om at få Rusland til at vælge en mere venlig politik over for Vesten og Danmark. Han nævnte, at Danmark skulle støtte de baltiske lande sammen med NATO, støtte demokratiske initiativer i Rusland, samt love Rusland energiaftaler, hvis Rusland i højere grad arbejder sammen med EU.

Medlem af Folketinget for Dansk Folkeparti Kristian Thulesen Dahl skrev d. 6. februar 2017, at Danmark skulle bakke op om NATO, og derigennem Baltikum og Polen. Han forholdt sig samtidig kritisk over for sanktionerne mod Rusland og lagde vægt på, at Danmark skulle søge et bedre forhold med Rusland for at undgå en militær konfrontation.

Som en del af Alternativets EU-politik lægger partiet vægt på, at EU skal være uafhængig af fossile brændsler fra Rusland.

D. 11. oktober 2017 mente Enhedslistens Eva Flyvholm, at Danmark ikke skulle opruste igennem NATO, da det blot ville føre til øgede spændinger. I stedet er nedrustning på alle sider vejen frem.

I følge statsminister Lars Løkke Rasmussen fra partiet Venstre er "[t]ruslen fra [Rusland] reel og tiltagende." Han mener derfor, at opbakningen til NATO, og derigennem til Baltikum, er vigtig.
I et interview udtalte forsvarsminister Claus Hjort Frederiksen (også fra Venstre), at Danmark kunne risikere at miste strømforsyningen ved hackerangreb fra den russiske stat. Desuden nævner han russiske raketangreb som en trussel. Frederiksen mener derfor, at oprustning er nødvendig.

I en artikel fra d. 15. juli 2015 udtaler de Konservatives Rasmus Jarlov, at Danmark bør blive en del af et missilskjold sammen med NATO imod Rusland.

Liberal Alliances Henrik Dahl bakker i en artikel fra d. 7. juli 2017 op om regeringens beslutning om at ansætte embedsmænd, der skal modarbejde misinformation fra den russiske stat.

I en artikel fra d. 15. februar 2017 udtaler Henrik Dam Kristensen fra Socialdemokratiet, at Danmark skal opruste og være i stand til at skyde russiske missiler ned.

Ambassadøren
I en kronik fra d. 21. august 2017 skriver den danske ambassadør i Rusland Thomas Winkler, at Rusland ikke kan ses som en trussel mod Danmark. Han nævner bl.a. at Ruslands forsvarsbudget er på 48 mia. US$, mens NATO's er på 915 mia. US$ eller omkring nitten gange så meget.

Befolkningen
En undersøgelse viste i 2017, at Danmark er det EU-land - efter Holland - hvor befolkningen er mest negativt stemt over for Rusland.

Ruslands indstilling til Danmark

Ambassadøren

I en artikel fra d. 20. marts 2015 udtaler den russiske ambassadør i Danmark Mikhail Vanin, at danske krigsskibe vil være i risiko for at blive angrebet af Rusland, hvis Danmark bliver en del af NATO's missilskjold.
D. 27. maj 2016 kaldte ambassadøren i en artikel Danmark for "anti-russisk", og han mente yderligere, at det er en "provokation" at sende danske soldater til Baltikum.

Maria Langegg ist ein Dorf und Wallfahrtsort in der gleichnamigen Katastralgemeinde der niederösterreichischen Gemeinde Bergern im Dunkelsteinerwald mit  Einwohnern. Es liegt südwestlich der Stadt Mautern an der Donau auf einer Anhöhe () im Dunkelsteinerwald. Als Katastralgemeinde hat Maria Langegg eine Fläche von 206,05 Hektar.

Geschichte

Der frühneuzeitliche Kirchenort in fürsterzbischöflich-salzburgerischem Besitz scheint urkundlich 1429 als "Langegg" auf und wird seit dem 17. Jahrhundert als "Maria Langegg" bezeichnet. Zur 16./17. Jahrhundertwende erfolgte eine Stiftung und Errichtung einer Kapelle durch Matthäus Häring, Besitzer des sogenannten Langegger-Hofs und Salzburger Hofmeister der Herrschaften Arnsdorf, Wölbling sowie Traismauer. Nachdem sich der Wallfahrtszustrom vergrößert hatte, wurde um 1620/23 ein Benefizium (Filiale von Hofarnsdorf) eingerichtet. 1645 berief Nikolaus Schober Hartenbach, Besitzer von Langegg, nach Empfehlung von Kaiser Ferdinand III. und dem Passauer Bischof die Serviten nach Langegg. 1647 wurde das Benefizium in einem Stiftbrief der Tiroler Provinz des Ordens übertragen, und man begann mit dem Bau einer Kirche und des Klosters. Der Westflügel wurde 1654, der Nordtrakt 1682 und der Südtrakt 1733 fertiggestellt. Von 1765 bis 1773 erfolgte der Neubau der Kirche in Nord-Süd-Richtung nach Plänen von Johann Michael Ehmann (1723–1768), wobei die ursprüngliche Kirche in Ost-West-Richtung bis auf den Chorraum (heutige Ursprungskapelle) abgetragen wurde. Im Zuge der Josephinischen Reformen wurde 1783 Maria Langegg eine eigenständige Pfarre.

Laut Adressbuch von Österreich waren im Jahr 1938 in Langegg ein Bäcker, drei Devotionalienhändler, ein Fleischer, vier Gastwirte, ein Gemischtwarenhändler, eine Hebamme und ein Tischler ansässig.

1963 errichtete man in der Ursprungskapelle ein Denkmal für die gefallenen und ermordeten Priester des Ersten und Zweiten Weltkrieges. Vermutlich nach einem Blitzschlag brannte am 5. April 1966 der Kirchturm ab, es entstand großer Schaden. Der Brand konnte aber auf den Turm begrenzt werden. Dabei stürzte eine Glocke ein Stück ab (sie ist in der Kirche zu besichtigen) und musste ersetzt werden.

1974 gaben die Serviten das Kloster auf und übergaben die Pfarre der Diözese. Ab 1980 war im Klostergebäude eine Schule der Englischen Fräulein eingerichtet, und seit 1993 ist die Gemeinschaft der Seligpreisungen im Kloster ansässig.

Kirche

Die Pfarr- und Wallfahrtskirche Mariä Geburt ist ein spätbarocker längszentraler Bau mit einer stattlichen Nordturmfassade. Westseitig schließt an die Kirche die rechteckige Vierflügelanlage des ehemaligen Servitenklosters an.

Das Innere ist mit reichen Wandmalereien versehen, die von Josef Adam Mölk und seinen Mitarbeitern stammen. Aus Kostengründen wurden der Hochaltar, ein Werk von Andreas Rudroff aus dem Jahr 1789, und die sechs Seitenaltäre mit gemalten Altaraufbauten ausgeführt. Die Hängekanzel mit spätbarockem Dekor am linken Mittelpfeiler des Langhauses wurde um 1773/74 vom St. Pöltner Bildhauer Andreas Gruber angefertigt. Die Orgel ist ein Werk von Stephan Helmich aus dem Jahr 1781/82 und wurde im Jahr 2000 umfassend restauriert.

Wallfahrtsmuseum
Im Zuge des EU-Förderprogramms LEADER+ wurde ab 2006 in Maria Langegg ein Wallfahrtsmuseum eingerichtet und 2008 eröffnet. Das Museumsangebot umfasst einen "Outdoor-Themenweg", bei dem auf einem rund zwei Kilometer langen Weg rund um das Kloster mittels Glasstelen Informationen über die Geschichte von Maria Langegg präsentiert werden, und einen "Indoor-Themenweg". Dieser bietet auf zehn Schautafeln einen Überblick über die Wallfahrt in Niederösterreich und stellt Wallfahrtsziele vor. Weiters können Votivbilder der Barockzeit, die original erhaltene Bibliothek der Serviten und die Schatzkammer besichtigt werden.

الشرطة السرية هي منظمة بوليسية ترتبط عادة بالأنظمة السلطوية، وإن لم تكن الشمولية، وهي جهاز قمعي بالأساس، وتعمل عادة فوق القانون والدستور، وتكون مسألة فقط من أعلي السلطة التنفيذية.

و هي بذلك عكس أجهزة الخدمة الأمنية المحلية، مثل ال«إف.بي.أي», و التي توضع ميزانياتها، وميزانية عملياتها تحت الرقابة القضائية والتشريعية، وتعمل في إطار القانون العادي، ويكون هدفها جمع المعلومات، والتحقيق في القضايا الكبري مثل السطو علي المصارف، وليس السيطرة علي الناس.

و من أشهر أجهزة البوليس السري: مباحث أمن الدولة, و الجستابو (الجهاز البوليس السري للدولة), و الكيه.جيه.بي. (مكتب أمن الدولة), و الدينا، والأوكرانا.

و يعتبر البعض السي.أي.أيه. بوليس سري للعالم. و الملاحظة المهمة أن البوليس السري لا يمكن أن يتواجد مع الديموقراطية.

Le thigmotactisme (du grec θίγμο : thigmo : toucher et ταξις : taxie : arranger, disposer) est la tendance qu'ont des animaux, lorsqu'ils sont placés dans un champ ouvert lors d'une expérience, à demeurer à proximité des parois.

Les rongeurs, animaux nocturnes et à mauvaise vision, utilisent surtout des données olfactives et tactiles pour percevoir leur environnement, l'explorer, se repérer. Ces données tactiles proviennent notamment des vibrisses (appelées communément moustaches) en contact avec les parois.

D'un point de vue anthropologique, un thigmotactisme accru peut être considéré comme un signe d'anxiété, l'animal se sentant moins vulnérable près d'une paroi. C'est la raison pour laquelle la mesure du thigmotactisme fait partie des tests comportementaux utilisés en éthologie ou en pharmacologie pour évaluer le niveau d'anxiété chez un animal. On mesure par exemple la durée relative passée dans la zone périphérique de l'open-field, ou la distance relative parcourue dans cette zone. En général les substances anxiolytiques diminuent le thigmotactisme alors que les substances anxiogènes l'augmentent.

حركة دينية انتحر افرادها جماعياً في أوغندا
وروت السلطات الأوغندية أولى رواياتها عن الحركة، فقالت: ان انتحار زهاء ستمائة من مريديها جاء عقيب اغلاق هؤلاء ابـواب كنيستهم ونوافذها بالمسامير، وإقـامة حفلهم الـوداعي مترنّمين بالأناشيد الدينية، ومتزينين بالحلل البيض والخضر والسـود. ثم مـا لبثوا ان صبوا البنزين في الكنيـسة، واضرموا النار فيها، وفي ثيابهم ليموتوا مستعجلين يوم الدينونة التي وُعدوا بها على عتبة الألفية الثالثة، وذلك في أكبر انتحار جمـاعي منذ بعض الوقت. لكن السـلطات الأوغندية مـا لبثت ان شفعـت روايتها الأولى بأخرى. فاستبعدت فكرة الانتحار الجماعي، وآثرت اعتبار ما حدث قتلاً متعمداً، اقترفه زعيم الطائفة المفقود، جوزيف كيبويتر. فهو قد استولى على ما كان في حوزة اتباعه من ممتلكات وامـوال، إثر ظهور كذب نبوءته، وزعمه نهـاية العالم أول السنة الجارية (عام 2000).

ويُعزى تضارب الروايتين إلى ان مثـل هذه الطـوائف والنـحل الدينية تتقوقع على ذاتها، فلا تجهر عادة بعلم من علومها المزعومة ولا تفشي سـراً لها. فهي ملاذ يلـوذ به من ثقلت عليه صروف الدهر، وأعباء الحياة المعنوية أو المادية، ومن غلبت عليه الميول الاكتئابية.
خصوصاً اولئك الذين تفككت العرى التي تشدهم إلى العـائلة، أو افتقدوا مؤازرة النصير والحـليف، أو فرغت حياتهم من العاطفة. وعلى هـذا، تشكل النحلة الدينية عـالماً صغيرا (ميكرو كوسم)، بنية منعزلـة عن العـالم الأوسع (ماكروكوسم)، بل ومعادية له ولتقاليده وأعـرافه وثقافته. ويتعارض عملها مع النظام الاجتماعي العام السائد، ويعمل نظامها الفكري والإيديولوجي على تدمير منظم لأي مرجعيات أو معـايير ذهنية واجتماعية خارجها. فلهذا العالم الصغير نظامه وشيفراته ولغته ورموزه وديناميته الوظيفية الخاصة به. وهو ينتج طوباويته المضادة لكل حقيقة سواه.

وتسعى هذه النحلة، لتتمكن من الانعزال المتدرج والنهـائي عن العالم، إلى الاكتفاء الذاتي مادياً ونفسياً. وتتحول جوهرا عائليا بديلا يغدو فيه المريدون اخـوة واخوات ينضوون تحت لواء الأب الزعيم، المفروضة طاعته، والمثيب والمعاقب، والقائم على القانون المقدس.

ومبدأ الفصل هذا بين الداخلي والخارجي، يفضي إلى توصيف كل مـا هو داخل بالإيجابي والبنّاء والحيوي، وكل ما هو خارجي بالسلبي والعـدائي. وهذه المشـاعر تقوي إيهام أعضاء الجماعة بالتوحد والتـآزر فتحتل «الأنا الجماعية» مكان «الأنا الفردية». وتحتـل صورة المعـلم الـروحي مكـان «الأنـا المثـالية».

وتعمل هذه النحل الدينية على احتلال الحقل الاجتماعي والديني، وان اقتصرت أحيانـاً على بضعة انفار، وعلى عبادات قد تثير سخرية الآخرين، مثـل عادة عبادة السرّة أو البصل، أو عبادة الأفعى بوصفها رسـول الحكمة. وبعض هذه الملل والنحل ينحو نحواً فلسفيـاً افلوطينياً أو هرمسيـاً وغنوصياً.

ولا تخلو بعض هذه الملل والنحل من مآرب سياسية تواريها خلف شعارات حيادية مثل انقاذ الكون أو البيئة، أو ايقاف الحروب أو إحقاق المسـاواة بين البشر. واستـطاعت طـائفة «مون» في الأورغواي ان تحوز امـوالاً طائـلة، فامتلكت ثـالث المصارف الكبرى في البلاد، وثـاني صحيفة وطنية، والكثير مـن الشبكات الإذاعية والتلفزيونية، وقطاعات زراعية واسعة. وتدخـلت طائفة «التـأمل التجاوزي» في بعض الانتخابات الأوروبيـة التشريعية. وعرضت على الرئيس السابق جورج بوش الأب، في أثناء ازمة الرهـائن في لبنان خطة «تأملية» لاستعادتهم. ويجمع الباحثون في الطوائف الدينية ان النحل تكاثرت في أوروبا، منذ القرون الوسطى على هامش الكنيسة الرسمية، واتخذت سِمت الحركات الروحية، أو الأخوات المنذورة للفقر، وبعضها لعب دوراً سياسياً هاماً، مثل (الكاثارزية) أو دوراً عسـكرياً (اليواكيمية). وازدهـرت في اميركا عـقب اكتشافها. الميتـودية، والمورمون، وشهـود يهوا، والسبتيـة.

ولعـل الطائفة الأوغندية «حركة احياء وصايا الرب العشر» منشقة عن حركة السبتية. وهي على مثالها، من الطوائف الألفيـة التي تنتظر عودة المسيح على رأس كل الف عام، وتسميه يوم الله وتحدده من مساء الجمعة إلى السبت. وبلغ عدد الحركة الأم زهاء المليون في العالم. وبثّ فيها الروح وليم ميلر 1782 ـ 1849 في اميركا. وقام بحملات تبشيرية حول العالم اسهمت في انتشارها في الكثير من البلـدان. وقد ذكر جـان مـاري ابغرال، الباحث الفرنسي، ثبتاً بأهـم هذه الفرق الدينية التي يصعب في حقيقة الأمر معرفة ما يدور داخل اسوارها المنيعة، من طقوس مبتدعة ونشاطات سحـرية، ويصعب تفريـق بعضها مـن بعض لتماثـل افكـارها واروماتها التاريخية، أو طرائق تعبيرها ودعاويها. فمنها جماعات أو شـيع تستلهم التراث اليهودي المسيحي، وأخرى التراث الشرقي البوذي، الهندوسي، والإسلامي. وبعضها الآخر يستوحي تعاليمه من العلوم الباطنية والسحـرية والتنجيمية. وبعض ثالث يصح عدّه مـن الوثنيين الجدد، أو البيئيين، أو جمـاعات الصحـة الجسدية والروحية، وجماعات الصلاة والشفاء.

وبحسب الأنتروبولوجي الديني الشهير، مرسيا الياد، في كتابه «المُسارة، الطقوس، المجتمعات السرية» بلغت التجمعات السرية التي نشطت منذ القرن السـادس عشر، الذروة في القـرن الثامن عشر، في حركة الماسونيين أو العمّارين الأحرار، ورمت «المسارة» أو تلقين اسرارالديانة، إلى تـأهيل البالغين في القبـائل البدائية حتى ينخرطوا في مجتمعـاتهم، بعد أن يؤدوا فيها طقوساً مسـارية تقوم على انفصال البـالغ عن امه واهله، وانكفـائه في دَغل أو مغارة وتعريضه لتجـارب التحول أو المـوت الرمزي مثل الصعود إلى السماء، أو النزول إلى جهنم، اوعمـليات الختان اوحلق الشـعر. وتتم الشعائر المسارية بإشراف «المعـلم الروحي» وعلى المريد الخضوع لسلطته الكلية ومـرجعيته بوصفه معين الحقيقة، ومـنبع الحكمة والقوة. وهو مستودع العلوم الباطنية والروحية. ويبلغ من عظم دوره في عين مـلته وجمـاعته ان يُحاط بهالة اسـطورية، وسيرة متخيـلة، فتنسب إليه الكـرامات والنبؤات، ويظهر بمظهر العـارف بكل شأن وأمر، والمتفوق في كل حقـل، والحائز على الشهادات الحديثة في علوم الذرة أو الإلكترون أو جراحة الأعصاب والمـخ. وهـذه الفضائل الخارقة يتعلق بها المـريد تعلقاً طفولياً، ويتماهى بها تماهي الابن بأبيه. ويتوقع مـن معلمه النصر المحتوم على القوى الشيطـانية المـؤذية التي تهدد المملكة المـوهومة التي تنشئها الملة الدينية في عقول التابعين.

واظهرت دراسـة جـان ـ ماري ابغرال ان ازديـاد شعـور الأوروبيين المعـاصرين بالقلـق، جراء تفكك الأسـرة والبطالة والتهديدات النووية وسواها، دفع بعضهم إلى التماس الأمان النفسي في الفكر السحري المتجذر في اللاوعي الجماعي. وبيّنت الأبحاث الميـدانية ان الذين ينخرطون في هذه الجماعات غير قادرين على حل صراعاتهم مع الأهل أو المجتمع، ولا على التكيف الاجتماعي والنفسي. وعـليه، يتعلقون بهذه النحـل كشكل من اشكال الإجابة البديـلة على الانسداد العـاطفي، وعلى الأوضـاع الصعبـة التي يعـانونها مثل طلاق الوالدين، أو الرسوب المدرسي، أو الطرد من الوظيفة. أو غيرهـا من المصاعب المالية والبطالة، اووفـاة أحد الأقربـاء أو الأصدقاء.

وتستعمل النحلة كل وسـائط التلاعب والإقنـاع والمراقبة لتوحيد اعضـائها ومريديها في وحدة كليـانية، تذيب اجسادهم وعقولهم في جسـد النحلة وعـقلها، وتجعل من ذاتها نقطـة الارتكاز المطلقة والمـلاذ الأمين لحـمايتهم من شرور الخارج المفترضة وأحابيله ووجوه الشـبه عديدة بين الأنظمة الكليانية، وبين «مناهج» النحل أهمها: الإيديولوجية الشمولية، وتحكّم الديكتاتور أو المعلم الروحي بمصير الجماعة، وتجـاهل الإعلام الخارجي أو تكذيبه، وقمع أي معارضة داخلية، والتخويف من الخارج الشيطاني.

امـا التنظيم الداخلي لهذا النوع من الملل فيفترض سلماً تراتبياً يقوي الإحساس بتبعية الأدنى للأعلى، كما في «التنظيم الهرمي». امـا في «البنية النجمية» فيتمثل المعـلم الروحي، في البـؤرة، ومريـدوه في المحيط. وفي «البنية الدائريـة» يستطيع المريد ان يلعب أي دور بديل. ويؤدي أكثر مـن وظيفة

وحركة «إحياء وصايا الرب العشر» الأوغندية لا تخـلو من وجه أو أكثر يشبه وجـوه النحل الباطنية والحركات الألفية هـذه. ولعل الروايات المتكاثـرة حول الجمـاعة الأوغندية، واللبس الذي يحيط بمصير زعيمـها، والتبـاين في تقدير مـا حدث في أثناء القتل أو الانتحار، مرده جميعـاً، إلى ان المكنـون والمحجوب من حركاتها وافعالها واقـوالها بؤرة لإثـارة شهوة القص وتـوليد الحكايـات.

Zuerst die Füße ist eine Skulptur aus dem Jahr 1990 von Martin Kippenberger. Sie stellt einen gekreuzigten Frosch dar. In einer seiner Gliedmaßen hält er ein Ei, in einer anderen einen Bierkrug. Es existieren fünf Exemplare in unterschiedlicher Ausführung, sowohl grün bzw. violett bemalt als auch unbemalt und mit unterschiedlicher Anzahl und Anordnung des Eies.

Interpretation
Die Skulptur ist als ironisches Selbstporträt Kippenbergers gedacht. Es spiegle nach Ansicht des Museion (Museum für moderne und zeitgenössische Kunst in Bozen, Südtirol) den damaligen Gemütszustand des Künstlers nach einem Alkohol- und Drogenentzug wider und habe "nichts mit Religion zu tun."

Kontroverse
Das Kunstwerk sorgte für zahlreiche Irritationen; man forderte, es anlässlich des Papstbesuchs 2008 aus dem Museion in Bozen zu entfernen. Angestoßen von der Sonntagszeitung Zett kam es zu Interventionen von zahlreichen politischen Kreisen und Teilen der katholischen Kirche sowie einer hitzig geführten Diskussion unter anderem auf den Leserbriefseiten der Tageszeitung Dolomiten.

Papst Benedikt XVI. schrieb an den Präsidenten des Regionalrates, Franz Pahl, der gekreuzigte Frosch verletze die religiösen Gefühle vieler Menschen. Der italienische Kulturminister Sandro Bondi brachte zum Ausdruck, auch die Vernunft und der gesunde Menschenverstand würden durch das Kunstwerk beleidigt. Regionalratspräsident Franz Pahl trat in einen Hungerstreik.

O universo mecânico. . . E além (The Mechanical Universe...And Beyond em inglês) é um telecurso de 52 partes, filmado no Instituto de Tecnologia da Califórnia (Caltech), que apresenta a física de nível universitário, cobrindo tópicos de Copérnico à mecânica quântica. A série de 1985-86 foi produzida pela Caltech e INTELECOM, um consórcio sem fins lucrativos de faculdades comunitárias da Califórnia agora conhecido como Intelecom Learning, com apoio financeiro da Annenberg/CPB. A série, que foi ao ar em estações afiliadas da PBS antes de ser distribuída em LaserDisc e eventualmente no YouTube, é conhecida por seu uso de animação por computador.

Resumo
Produzidos a partir de 1982, os vídeos fazem uso intenso de dramatizações históricas e recursos visuais para explicar conceitos da física. Estes eram considerados o estado da arte na época, incorporando quase oito horas de animação por computador criada pelo pioneiro da computação gráfica Jim Blinn. Cada episódio abre e fecha com segmentos em que o professor da Caltech David Goodstein, falando em uma sala de aula, oferece explicações dos conceitos. Depois de mais de um quarto de século, a série ainda é frequentemente usada como auxiliar de ensino suplementar, por sua explicação clara de conceitos fundamentais como a relatividade especial.

Financiamento
A Annenberg/CPB financiou a produção de The Mechanical Universe. O programa foi um dos primeiros doze projetos financiados pela promessa inicial de US$90 milhões que a Fundação Annenberg deu à Corporation for Public Broadcasting no início dos anos 80. O custo total do projeto foi de aproximadamente US$10 milhões.
