The new version of Shakespeare updated is another success story!
Maxton Hall — The World Between Us is a six-part German-language television series on Amazon Prime Video. It is adapted from the Mona Kasten book Save Me. The cast is led by Damian Hardung and Harriet Herbig-Matten.
The series premiered on May 9, 2024, and had the most successful series launch of any non-American Prime Original ever. Maxton Hall became the most popular series on Prime Video worldwide shortly after its release, ranking #1 in the charts in over 120 regions.[1] [2]

A Modern-Day Romeo and Juliet with a Digital Twist
1
“Maxton Hall” is a contemporary adaptation of the classic tale of Romeo and Juliet, set against the backdrop of a prestigious private school. The series, which has captured the hearts of viewers with its first season, delves into the complexities of young love, class differences, and the pervasive influence of social media.
2
At its core, “Maxton Hall” is a reimagined script of Shakespeare’s tragedy. Ruby Bell and James Beaufort are the star-crossed lovers of this narrative, embodying the essence of Juliet and Romeo respectively. Their love story is a testament to the timeless nature of Shakespeare’s work, even as it is transposed onto the digital age’s canvas.
Families: Filthy Rich & Unhappy meets Poor & Happy
The series paints a vivid picture of the socioeconomic divide through the contrasting lives of its protagonists. James hails from wealth and privilege, while Ruby’s background is one of struggle and determination. This dichotomy is the heartbeat of the show, driving home the message that love does not discriminate, even when society does.
3
Hopelessly Romantic with Intelligent Dialogues
“Maxton Hall” shines in its portrayal of romance, not through grand gestures, but through the intelligent and heartfelt dialogues between its characters. The conversations are crafted with care, allowing the audience to feel the depth of the characters’ emotions and the weight of their words.
4
Social Media’s Role:
The series does not shy away from showcasing the influence of social media on the lives of its characters. It serves as both a catalyst for conflict and a mirror to the envy and gossip that plague their world. Yet, it also becomes a tool for connection, demonstrating the duality of the digital age.
5
Conclusion:
“Maxton Hall” is a compelling watch that successfully blends the old with the new. It is a story of love that is both hopelessly romantic and strikingly relevant, set in a world where social media is the omnipresent narrator. The series invites viewers to reflect on the nature of love, the barriers we erect, and the ties that bind us across the digital divide.
As a Teacher of German and English: Watch the series in class or classes watch at home in groups:
Read the Shakespeare Original
Watch the best Films Julia & Romeo
Or selected Scenes to be discussed in groups.
Ask classes to write a film script of the same quality, draft contents and characters and settings with the classes one by one in group work.
Make a film if you have these options.

Nachtgedanken zur EU Wahl:
Als SPD Wähler (Willi Brandt) und Entspannungsmensch habe ich immer die Kinder und Enkel der SPD gewählt: Jede Stimme grün war wichtig, damals…
Jetzt in QLD im Ruhestand bin ich Mitglied der sehr schwachen Grünen.
In der EU würde ich nicht mehr grün wählen, stattdessen BSW, warum liegt auf der Hand:
Macht korrumpiert … der Rest ist Schweigen.
Dass junge Leute in D jetzt AFD wählen?
Hmmmm … nicht gut, lieber nicht wählen!
Denn Links geht gar nicht außer Sahra Wagenknecht, und die Ampel versagt bekanntlich auf allen Kanälen!
Bleiben noch Volt und auch CDU/CSU … not my cup of tea, though …

Blood pudding, also known as black pudding, is a type of blood sausage that is a traditional delicacy in many parts of the world, particularly in the United Kingdom and Ireland⁶. It’s made from animal blood, typically pig’s blood, which acts as a binder for other ingredients such as oats or barley. This mixture is then encased and cooked, resulting in a rich, savory sausage that’s often served as part of a full breakfast⁷.
Cooking with blood is a practice that dates back centuries and is found in various cuisines globally. Blood can be used as a thickener for sauces, a filler in sausages, and even as a solid ingredient in dishes like blood tofu or blood pancakes¹. It’s known for its nutritional value, providing a source of iron and protein⁶.
Blood sausages are a diverse group of foods, with many regional variations. They can be made with different types of blood and fillers, and they’re enjoyed for their unique flavors and textures. Some common fillers include meat, fat, suet, bread, cornmeal, onion, chestnuts, barley, oatmeal, and buckwheat¹³. In some cultures, sweet variants with sugar, honey, orange peel, and spices are also popular¹³.
The taste of blood pudding and blood sausages can be described as earthy and rich, with a distinct flavor that reflects their main ingredient. They are often enjoyed fried and can be a hearty addition to any meal¹⁴.
If you’re interested in trying your hand at making blood sausage or incorporating blood into your cooking, there are many recipes and variations to explore. It’s a unique ingredient that offers a taste of tradition and a connection to culinary history. Bon appétit! 🍴

We do our best to plant the flowers that attract bees and other local pollinators to our yards. But there are times we want to roll up the welcome mat and repel insects, especially mosquitoes. You can do this without using repellents containing chemical ingredients which kill the friendly bugs as well as the nuisances.
There are as many ways to foster natural pest control as there are reasons to repel insects like mosquitoes. These pests are the deadliest creatures on earth, killing about a million people a year. They harbor diseases like Malaria, dengue,West Nile virus (and there are no vaccines or medicines to prevent or treat this virus in people). In most cases, you need look no further than your local garden center. And feel free to think beyond citronella. You can fill your garden with other wonderful scents and colors that you’ll love, but mosquitoes will hate.There are as many ways to foster natural pest control as there are reasons to repel insects like mosquitoes. SHARE ON X
You’ll find dozens of flowers and plants that can populate your patio or garden space while keeping the mosquito population at bay. Lavender tops the list. It’s a natural bug repellent with a soothing smell (at least to us humans). The scent of lavender deadens a mosquito’s sense of smell, making it harder for you to become its target. Other plants that discourage mosquitoes and other pests from making their home in your yard? Marigolds, catnip, rosemary, and scented geraniums. Bee balm, mint, and sage can add to the wonderful aroma of your garden, but mosquitoes seem to hate them. And of course, there’s the old standby, citronella. You’ll find dozens of flowers and plants that can populate your patio or garden space while keeping the mosquito population at bay. Lavender tops the list. SHARE ON X
Not only do these plants make wonderful bug repellents, but many of these can also be harvested and steeped for Ikarian-inspired herbal teas.Not only do these plants make wonderful bug repellents, but many of these can also be harvested and steeped for Ikarian-inspired herbal teas. SHARE ON X
Yes, you can burn a citronella-infused candle to keep bugs away, but there are so many other ways essential oils can keep your backyard bug-free. Freshen your patio cushions with a spritz made of tea tree oil, and clean your grill with lemon oil. Your guests will love the aroma (and the lack of flying intruders – they’re repelled by these scents). You can grill cuttings of thick citronella grass (just for a short time to release the bug-repelling oils). You can also spread a few citronella grass cuttings on walkways. Their natural oils will be released by foot traffic.
It’s not just about what you add to your garden when it comes to organic pest control. It’s what you take away. Regular mowing gets rid of places where pests like to hide. Get rid of sources of standing water where mosquitoes could lay eggs and any food or animal waste that could attract flies and other pests.
You can still enjoy backyard ponds, pools, and fountains or birdbaths without allowing them to become hosts to mosquito larvae. Stock small ponds with fish that eat the larvae, or aerate water features and use a pump to keep water moving. Mosquitoes only lay eggs in stagnant water. You can also chlorinate pools and hot tubs.
Heading outside is a proven stress-reliever. So invite your friends and take advantage of your outdoor space—minus mosquitoes and other pests. All it takes is a little planning and planting.

Thank you and Chapeau Lee Park!

Sorry you’re feeling blue tonight. 🌙
It’s okay to have those moments. Sometimes, even the brightest days have their shadows. If you’d like, I can share a short poem to lift your spirits:
Whispers of the Night
In the quiet of the night,
When stars paint the sky with light,
Embrace the shadows, let them be,
For they, too, hold a mystery.
The moon, a gentle friend above,
Listens to your heartache, your love.
Its silver glow, a soothing balm,
Guides you through the darkness calm.
Remember, like the night, you'll find,
That even in sadness, there's a kind Of beauty—a quiet strength that grows,
A resilience that only darkness knows.
So let the blue hues softly fade,
As morning's warmth begins to cascade.
Hold on, my friend, for dawn awaits, With hope and promise at its gates.

I will walk in the morning for about 10km and after this walk, I feel very good again and totally energized.
And now I just allow myself to listen to my Blues Records and Streaming and will slightly get tired enough for a long and healthy sleep, as Music Is The Language.

Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.
I have decided to keep my desk tidy and neat and clean: And one place in my house, where I can read and relax and think! This is the place where I feel happy in the evening before I go to sleep …
And a daily routine:
What was good today?
What went not so good? Anything I could do or change my atomic habits?
Can I do better tomorrow?
Have I smiled at someone I do not know or hugged my wife or a child? Made a difference?
Any lesson learnt?
