26.01.2010 - Interpretation of dali48

In the desert of Rajasthan he seeks the Ker-Busch, which thrives on the edge of the sand dunes. In Udaipur, he meets up with the "elephant apple", a fruit with an extremely hard shell that tastes delicious, but is forgotten even in India long ago. - Whether any good Indian desert dishes fit for the gourmet kitchen?

While in Hong Kong chef Harlan prepares a sorbet out of the desert apple, the Food-hunter is already on a new track. He tracks the most expensive spice in the world, saffron from the troubled Kashmir. Kashmir saffron - is legendary, but doesn't come out of the Kashmir valley since 15 years because of the armed conflict. Mark goes out there. Incidentally, he finds a dried mustard spice mix called "Ver", - and a deep violet edible flower. - Both would fit well in dark chocolate, says Mark ... (Phoenix-TV, 26.01.2010)

Interpretation of dali48

Elephant apple (Wood Apple, Monkey Fruit or Curd Fruit) is a species of Dillenia native (Limonia acidissima) to southeastern Asia, from India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka east to southwestern China (Yunnan) and Vietnam, and south through Thailand to Malaysia and Indonesia ...

The fruit pulp is used in Indian Cuisine in curries, jam, and jellies! 

The fruit is eaten plain, blended into an assortment of drinks and sweets, or well-preserved as jam. - The scooped-out pulp from its fruits is eaten uncooked with or without sugar, or is combined with coconut milk and palm-sugar syrup and drunk as a beverage, or frozen as an ice cream. - It is also used in chutneys and for making Fruit preserves jelly and jam! ... (Wikipedia)

Interpretation of dali48 in 2010

Immanuel Kant (1724 – 1804) was a German philosopher from Königsberg (today Kaliningrad of Russia), who researched, lectured, and wrote on philosophy and anthropology during the Enlightenment at the end of the 18th century ...

Kant's major work, the Critique of Pure Reason (Kritik der reinen Vernunft, 1781), aimed to unite reason with experience to move beyond what he took to be failures of traditional philosophy and metaphysics. - He hoped to end an age of speculation where objects outside experience were used to support what he saw as futile theories, while opposing the skepticism of thinkers such as Berkeley and Hume ...

He stated: "It always remains a scandal of philosophy and universal human reason that the existence of things outside us ... should have to be assumed merely on faith, - and that if it occurs to anyone to doubt it, we should be unable to answer him with a satisfactory proof" ...

Kant proposed a ‘Copernican Revolution' in reverse, saying that: "Up to now it has been assumed that all our cognition must conform to the objects; but let us once try whether we do not get farther with the problems of metaphysics by assuming that the objects must conform to our cognition" ...

Kant published other important works on ethics, religion, law, aesthetics, astronomy, and history. These included the Critique of Practical Reason (Kritik der praktischen Vernunft, 1788) and the Metaphysics of Morals (Die Metaphysik der Sitten, 1797), which dealt with ethics. And the Critique of Judgment (Kritik der Urteilskraft, 1790), which looks at aesthetics and teleology. He aimed to resolve disputes between empirical and rationalist approaches. The former asserted that all knowledge comes through experience; the latter maintained that reason and innate ideas were prior ...

Kant argued that experience is purely subjective without first being processed by pure reason. - He also said that using reason without applying it to experience only leads to theoretical illusions. - The free and proper exercise of reason by the individual was a theme both of the Enlightenment, and of Kant's approaches to the various problems of philosophy ...

His ideas influenced many thinkers in Germany during his lifetime. He settled and moved philosophy beyond the debate between the rationalists and empiricists. The philosophers Fichte, Schelling, Hegel and Schopenhauer amended and developed the Kantian system, thus bringing about various forms of German idealism. He is seen as a major figure in the history and development of philosophy. German and European thinking progressed after his time, and his influence still inspires philosophical work today ...

With his Perpetual Peace, Kant is considered to have foreshadowed many of the ideas that have come to form the democratic peace theory, one of the main controversies in political science! ...

The Kantian paradigm shift in philosophy and metaphysics has been sustained. Some British and American philosophers trace their intellectual origins to Hume: however, Kant acknowledged Hume as awakening him from his 'dogmatic slumbers', and his work articulated and clarified the issues looked at by Hume. (See The silent decade section, above) ...

Kant's work on mathematics and synthetic a priori knowledge is also cited by theoretical physicist Albert Einstein as an early influence on his intellectual development ...

Jürgen Habermas and John Rawls are two significant political and moral philosophers whose work is strongly influenced by Kant's moral philosophy. They have each argued against relativism, supporting the Kantian view that universality is essential to any viable moral philosophy ...

Kant's influence also has extended to the social and behavioral sciences, - as in the sociology of Max Weber, the psychology of Jean Piaget, and the linguistics of Noam Chomsky. Because of the thoroughness of the Kantian paradigm shift, his influence extends to thinkers who neither specifically refer to his work nor use his terminology ...

In 2005, that Russian-speaking university was renamed Immanuel Kant State University of Russia in honour of Kant. The change of name was announced at a ceremony attended by President Vladimir Putin of Russia and Chancellor Gerhard Schröder of Germany, and the university further formed a Kant Society, dedicated to the study of Kantianism ...

Interpretation of dali48 in 2010

Frédéric Chopin was born on March 1, 1810 in the Polish city Zelazowa Wola. From 1829, he went on trips and stayed alternately in Warsaw, Vienna and in Paris. - In 1831 he then moved permanently to Paris, where he met Alfred de Musset, Franz Liszt and Heinrich Heine. - In 1838 he became a loving couple with the novelist George Sand. - Their relationship lasted for 10 years ...

The Symphony Varsovia under Dimitri Liss interprets the works that were performed at Chopin's funeral on October 30, 1849. Chopin died on October 17, 1849 with only 39 years and was buried at the cemetery Père Lachaise in Paris. - For his funeral, he had asked Mozart's Requiem! ... (ARTE / Music, 31.01.2010)

Interpretation of dali48

The Requiem Mass in D minor (K. 626) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was composed in Vienna in 1791 and left unfinished at the composer's death on December 5. - A completion by Franz Xaver Süssmayr was delivered to Count Franz von Walsegg, who had anonymously commissioned the piece for a requiem Mass to commemorate the February 14 anniversary of his wife's death! ...

At the time of Mozart's death on 5 December 1791, only the opening movement (Requiem aeternam) was completed in all of the orchestral and vocal parts! ...

Also in 1798, Constanze is noted to have given another interview to Franz Xaver Niemetschek, another biographer looking to publish a compendium of Mozart's life. - He published his biography in 1808, containing a number of claims about Mozart’s receipt of the Requiem commission: He said: "Constanze, I am only too conscious - that my end will not be long in coming: for sure, someone has poisoned me! - I cannot rid my mind of this thought!"

One series of myths surrounding the Requiem involves the role Antonio Salieri played in the commissioning and completion of the Requiem and in Mozart's death generally. - While the most recent retelling of this myth is Peter Shaffer's play Amadeus and the movie made from it, it is important to note that the source of misinformation was actually a 19th century play by Alexander Pushkin, Mozart and Salieri, which was turned into an opera by Rimsky-Korsakov and subsequently used as the framework for Amadeus! ...

If the most common authorship theory is true, then "Quam olim d: C:" - might very well be the last words Mozart wrote before he died. - It is probable that whoever stole the fragment believed that to be the case! ... (Wikipedia)
