Angela Merkel says ventilation may be one of cheapest and most effective ways of containing virus
Es ist ja immer schÜn, ausländische Artikel ßber Deutschland zu lesen. Ein paar besondere Highlights:
The custom is something of a national obsession, with many Germans habitually opening windows twice a day, even in winter. Often the requirement is included as a legally binding clause in rental agreements, mainly to protect against mould and bad smells.Â
Gabs nicht sogar Gerichtsentscheidungen, dass 3x pro Tag lĂźften eine hinzunehmende Forderung ist, um Schimmel zu verhindern?
Impact ventilation, or StosslĂźften, which needs explanation for most people unfamiliar with Germany except for experts in air hygiene, involves widely opening a window in the morning and evening for at least five minutes to allow the air to circulate. Even more efficient is QuerlĂźften, or cross ventilation, whereby all the windows in a house or apartment are opened letting stale air flow out and fresh air come in.Â
Wir hatten ja schon hier breit diskutiert, dass Briten aus deutscher Sicht eine unerklärliche Angst davor haben, das Fenster zu Üffnen.
In Germany, windows are designed with sophisticated hinge technology that allows them to be opened in various directions to enable varying degrees of LĂźften.
Ja, wenn ich das mit den Fenster hier vergleiche, dann ist âsophisticatedâ wahrscheinlich das richtige Wort. Der Mechanismus, mit dem ich meine Fenster hier im UK nach oben auĂen schwenken kann, wĂźrde ich dagegen mit âovercomplicatedâ beschreiben. Und wir sollten nicht vergessen, dass Schwenken in Deutschland auch mit uralten Fenstern mĂśglich ist, man muss dann halt nur noch nen Hebel umlegen.
Fabiola is an installation of over 300 painted copies and reproductions of fourth century Saint-Fabiola, collected by Francis Alÿs from flea markets and antique shops throughout Europe and America in the last 20 years. They are all based on a now lost original painting by french artist Jean-Jacques Henner made in the nineteenth century.
I saw this at the National Portrait Gallery several years ago and it was startling and unsettling. Iâve never seen anything else remotely like it in concept or execution.Â

Britainâs black power movement is at risk of being forgotten, say historians
The Cambridge academic Robin Bunce said: âThere is a fundamental danger of erasing the very notion of a struggle at all. Iâve been researching this for four and a half years and there have been so many occasions when people have said to me: âThere was no black struggle in Britain. Youâre thinking of South Africa or America.ââ
The narrative that feeds it is the one that Britain is the utopia of fair play. We have such a commitment to individual rights, we have such a commitment to common sense and decency that there is no systematic racism in Britain.ââŚ
Bunce said it was not just politicians, but wider British society that would rather not dwell on the less palatable.
a chapterbook: *came with a stitched in ribbon bookmark, had a cloth spine, had those rough edged finished pages, or came with a map*
8 year old me: i am a 500 year old librarian and this is the most valuable book in my collection. i rescued it myself from a castle as it burned to the ground. *gingerly runs my little grubby hands down its spine and gazes wistfully out of the school bus window* i am the keeper of all civilizationâs knowledge
