Gas stations in portugal are running out of fuel right in the middle of Holiday Season the reason why tanker drivers are striking in the southern european country asking for higher wages for use government has now in pool imposed fuel rushing. Fully laden and under Police Protection a convoy leaves a warehouse near lisbon at the start of the working week this is how the portuguese government is guaranteeing a minimum amount of fuel is available for the countrys drivers. Reluctantly the picket lines allow them through. U. S. Support to go i think the strike gives the impression to people abroad that portugal does not respect labor rights. If this so at least people have their rights in the country that the government and the companies are doing their best to limit the exercising of those rights. The tank drivers work up to 17 hours a day at minimum wage in an effort to change that theyre protesting for the 2nd time in 4 months. Many of the petrol stations are empty motorists have played them dry over the weekend others are forced to cross the border into neighboring spang.

A lot of people are behaving like its the end of the world they come with bottles or even barrels they bring all sorts to fill up for fuel.

Welcome from berlin and welcome to arts and culture the hills are alive with the sound of yodeling which im not very good at but well look into how this form of communication has evolved and flourished also coming up. In our series 100 german must reads we revisit the berlin wall through the eyes of a west german author and see how German Division affected both sides and west records. And speaking of walls the berlin based artist collective inner fields uses them as their canvas for some of the most sought after street art around. Well anyone whos a fan of the sound of music will remember Julie Andrews yodeling her heart out in the song the lonely goat herd and indeed long before the advent of smartphones cow and go herds used yodeling in the alps as a way to call from one mountain to another but what began as a melodic language in switzerland and austria has evolved into a sophisticated musical form in itself and its one that has remarkable staying power bully pulpit to pop up your pop up to. Be totally meaningless and loudly. But maybe we dont know when the 1st alpine 30 pharma let rip with the 1st yodel. Perhaps the most plausible explanation courting the scattered herd of cows in for milk but with so much artistic creativity to be. Vested interest such a monday in task. For you can go far you are. My thesis is that the 2nd variation is much more penetrating thats the reason the German Police or the Fire Department have this lalu are that goes just like that. It goes up and down and thats basically a yodel. Or perhaps the odor was originally a distress call the invention of someone high in the mountains feeling threatened by the uncanny science someone who felt they must release this feeling of lost ness in a primal yell and this became an entertaining form of music. Rather hard to imagine now but there was a time when yodeling was considered revolutionary. You could even say there was a kind of republican the yodel for example in switzerland one of the 1st democratic countries or to roll off the wars to free it from the code in at the beginning of the 19th century. These countries were associated with freedom in the eyes of the rest of europe when. The euro songs that came down from the out to europe were transformed into songs of freedom. An interesting theory where the battles are just great p. R. Measures for alpine folk music well christoph Doctors Research does suggest that there was a yodel at that time one which gripped the heart of europe and soon produced its 1st superstars growing up family from silla tar. Paper adored and got rich in that energy. Its the same a mate this opined song into a kind of 1st pop music so instead we see commom in addition to the rhinos hundreds of alpine singers and even opera divas took yodeling to the live and to overseas pastures near 0 balance he also has the new York Metropolitan Opera their views were not great but that didnt stop the other mania gripping the us to consider the whole world met in the usa in the 19th century and a mix of languages were spoken my idea is that yodelling was the lowest common denominator of the clouds to combine some in the. Music market was zoom saturated with the new sound and some began to find it just plain irritating mark twain generously rewarded the 1st yodeling shepherd he encountered to ascend into space mountain but after encountering ever moan at 10 minute intervals he soon resorted to bribing them to just shut up. For a. Train did not live to experience the blue yodel jimmy rogers went from graduate brakeman to wreck and start his style was allegedly inspired by howling coyotes and steam locomotives. In the usa yodel mania lost its luster in the 1950 s. But 2 decades ago yodeling was liberated from being solely the preserve of german folk music t. V. Shows indeed folk music bands and evidence god vocalists have breathed new life into. And why not what could be more beautiful than transforming those cries of distress into a positive heartfelt yell that echoes around the world. Well august 13th marks the 50th anniversary of the day the berlin wall went up practically overnight here in the city itself it proceeded to divide into communist east and capitalist west and for 28 years it was the most tangible symbol of the cold war and during that time author and journalist. Was one of the 1st west germans to write a novel about it 30 years ago i could have been shot to death just for standing here the space on the east side of the berlin wall was called the street. And. People risk their lives trying to escape from the communist east to the west but who would have been crazy enough to try to jump over the wall from the west to the east. The wall is about germans from both sides trying to overcome the border. Mr who was in his mid fortys and on welfare 1st came to the attention of the police when with a running start from the west he jumped the wall heading east the guards of the other german states arrested as a border violator he wore out his interrogators who wanted to know why he hadnt used a Border Crossing by pointing out time and again that he lived right across the way and had taken the only direct path over the wall when the book came out in 1902 the wall was already part of peoples d. N. A. Hardly anyone here believed that east and west germany would agree unified and most people didnt even want them to be in the wall. Weaves together political analysis and report taj with his own youthful adventures and his complicated friendships with germans from both sides the book proved to be prophetic it will take us longer to tear down the wall in our heads than any wrecking company will need for the wall we can see. The wall jumper is still one of the most important works written about German Division and its probably the coolest History Lesson youll ever read. Nice little slim addition to your Summer Reading list while walls play a central role in our next report because were going to meet the guys from inner fields who specialize in massive street art murals now for a decade their art has reflected how ai and technology are taking over our lives and the more surface they manage to cover the more they hope that they can change the world along. Do and hold in a field collective for 10 years now theyve been painting giant sized colorful and very precise words using building walls as they campuses and giant sized tools. Its all. These are our surprise brushes our favorites if you were to do the same thing on canvas this would have to be a mini brush. And.

Live and work in berlin they 1st met in the mid ninetys when there were graffiti sprite is not everything they created was entirely legal. I believe that. Actually not all that much is changed about our passion from the 1990 s. I think the one small transformation thats happened is that while it was a hobby and a passion back then.

Hamburg and abroad. Such as georgia. Israel. Norway or ukraine. To caution for us its fantastic that were getting so many requests from all over the world to come and paint these works. I know we have to think about how were going to coordinate the year and choose what were able to take on it realize and finish. That. In addition to the painting the 2 artists do projects on their own as well here its all about the relationship between humans and technology the finished canvases look a bit like miniature versions of the murals but you do want to accept any artistic limitations. These works could indeed become a mural. There canvas as weve created individually to deal with the subjects of social media and technology. I think its great because in a way were putting together a cache of ideas. Their latest mural is an initiative at the university of fribourg with philip kelly my is conducting research on intelligence he supplied the basic idea for the work. Its been our experience in the projects weve done so far that art has a virtually ideal means or public forum for or approach to instigating dialogues on such complex topics as Artificial Intelligence technology and things like that. Agreed to superimposed on the study helps to transpose the such proportions to the wall 4 days of work 6 liters of paint and 10 cans of spray paint went into the fry book mural it purposely leaves much room for interpretation. We want to mention. We hope to reach people but we dont want to play the part of the educator here we just want to put down a few stumbling blocks to trip people up we want to trip up peoples minds and. This is what in the fields hope to achieve within your role on Artificial Intelligence. Its size alone makes it almost impossible to avoid engaging with that.
