Why Dieter Bohlen speaks when others remain silent: A portrait of diligence and clarity

by

There are personalities that you only really understand when you detach yourself from their public image. Dieter Bohlen belongs exactly in this category. Musically, I myself am not a big fan of his shallow, often very simple melodies - and yet, to be fair, it has to be said that what he created was extremely precise, target group-oriented and clearly structured for the 1980s. Bohlen was never the great artist in the romantic sense. But he was an outstanding businessman, a hard worker and someone who understood his craft in a way that few do today.

What makes him interesting for me is not so much his music - but the fact that he remained successful for decades, while whole generations of artists came and went around him. And that today - after many years of silence - he is suddenly taking a clear stand on social issues. This is the reason why it is worth looking at Dieter Bohlen as a person beyond the usual media image: not as a pop titan, not as a TV pundit, but as a craftsman, businessman and mirror of a time that understands itself less and less.

„The Magic Wall“: Two children's books that strengthen the courage of young readers

by
Children's books by Jana Kollmann

At a time when many children's books seem fast-paced and are often designed for short-lived effects, it is worth taking a look at works that have been written with real attention to detail. Books that take the time to build a world that not only entertains young readers, but also conveys courage, imagination and inner strength.

This is exactly the kind of book Jana Kollmann writes - an author whose roots, life path and artistic influence are recognizable in every line.

Understanding hemorrhoids: Why posture and statics are often the real causes

by
Hemorrhoids and poor posture

Haemorrhoids are one of the most common physical complaints of all - and yet you almost always get the same explanations for them in doctors' surgeries. Fiber, more exercise, drink enough: the standard tips seem like a firmly programmed pattern that has been passed on unchanged for decades. And sure, these tips are not wrong. But they fall short because they only scratch the surface.

This article shows why it is worth looking at hemorrhoids from a different perspective - beyond the usual advice. It aims to make people aware that the real causes are often not located where the symptoms occur, but in the interaction of the entire body statics. Anyone who understands how posture, breathing and muscular tension interact quickly realizes that the solution sometimes lies not in the next ointment prescription, but in the foundation of the body itself.

Dieter Bohlen in plain language: Why Germany is failing because of its own bureaucracy

by
Dieter Bohlen in conversation with Dominik Kettner

This article highlights a recent, remarkably candid conversation between Dieter Bohlen - the longtime music producer, entrepreneur and one of the most recognizable faces of German pop culture - and Dominik Kettner, a precious metals expert, YouTuber and financial entrepreneur who has been studying wealth protection and economic trends for years.

At first glance, the meeting of the two seems unusual: here the entertainer with decades of international experience, there the financial analyst who primarily addresses security-conscious savers and entrepreneurs. But it is precisely this mixture that makes the interview so exciting. Bohlen speaks freely, without a PR filter, while Kettner drills down and makes complex developments tangible. Together, they create a space in which undesirable political developments, economic risks and personal experiences are interwoven - clearly, directly and without excuses.

Understanding TMD: Why knowledge is the first step to healing

by
Understanding CMD is the first step to healing

There are complaints that don't behave like normal symptoms. They appear, disappear, shift - and don't fit into any specialist category. This is exactly where the story behind TMD, craniomandibular dysfunction, begins: not an exotic disease, but a functional disorder in the interaction of the temporomandibular joint, chewing muscles, teeth, neck and throat. What sounds so technical acts like a silent director in the background in everyday life: it pulls here, presses there, makes you tired, makes you nervous - and rarely does the finger point directly at the jaw.

Your opinion counts - New surveys on current topics

by
Surveys on current topics

A magazine thrives on exchange - now also interactively. Anyone who knows me knows that I don't write to preach - but to initiate thought processes. The articles on my website have never been a one-way street, but an invitation to reflect. However, what has been missing so far is the opportunity for readers to take a very concrete stand - anonymously, honestly, directly. This is exactly what is changing now.

You can now find interactive polls on my website that are integrated directly into articles on specific topics - and also appear in rotation in the sidebar. This is a step that was long overdue: because in a world in which more and more opinions are being imposed from above, every freely expressed opinion from below is a piece of digital sovereignty.

Forced migration at HostEurope: When emails suddenly end up in the cloud

by
Hosteurope migration to Microsoft 365

There are decisions that self-employed people like to put off because they are inconvenient. Changing hosting providers is undoubtedly one of them. As long as the websites are running, the emails are arriving and the bills are being paid, you think: Why touch something that works?

But sometimes you realize too late that "working" no longer means "right". My web hosting provider Hosteurope was of the opinion that it had to force its customers to migrate to Microsoft 365 for a fee without their active consent. The following is my experience, which ended for me with a migration to another hosting provider.

Future with a charger - Mr. von L'oreot buys an e-scooter

by

It was one of those quiet mornings when the sun shone through the fine curtains of my study and the smell of freshly brewed Darjeeling mingled with that of newspaper ink - a smell that always reminds me of the orderly times when paper was still considered the carrier of thought and not the packaging for bananas.

As usual, I had neatly arranged my breakfast: two slices of gray bread, butter in a geometric arrangement, and a boiled egg with the familiar crack that always appears in the same place - a mystery that even progress cannot explain.
