At the very beginning of the corona virus pandemic, people were always hoarding: warmth, sun and UV light are supposed to contain the virus. So everything will be better in the summer?

"We liked to know that, too," said susanne glasmacher, spokeswoman for the robert koch institute. There will be a "certain effect", but the lack of basic immunity of the population is such an advantage for the virus that it will continue to spread. Thomas schulz, head of virology at the hannover medical school, expects a "small effect" that is not significant. Clemens wendtner, head of the infectious diseases clinic at munich’s schwabing hospital, also expects a slight slowdown in the summer, but cautions: "we must not delude ourselves into thinking that higher temperatures will cause the virus to disappear."

That went well just in time! The end of the world, just within reach, gives way to a happy ending. On the big screen the apocalypse has already come upon us umpteen times. Nuclear war, attack from outer space, climate catastrophes – we've seen it all before. Through hollywood, the spectacle of images has spilled over into all cinemas. In "armageddon" astronaut harry stamper, played by bruce willis, gives up his life to save the survival of mankind. The short film "armadingen from 2011 picks up the closing scenes of the blockbuster. A farmer, who lives with his wife in "armadingen" muhsam und zah, learns from the radio that a comet is apparently inexorably approaching the earth.

Deputy chairman ronny reichenbach was able to bury numerous members at the annual general meeting of the fire department at the fire station in weismain. The topics of the evening ranged from club activities and operations to the status of plans for the 150th anniversary.
Ronny reichenbach, representing the professionally prevented chairman roland saum, highlighted the children's fire department, whose offer was very well received. The youth fire department as well as the successes in performance marches give the association a lot of pleasure.
Commander jochen bauer reminded that the fire department requirements planning approved by the city council in april 2016 has been set in motion, so that the emergency vehicles of the type "TSF-W" planned for arnstein and modschiedel will be available in the near future expected to be delivered in may 2018. The new "dekon PII" disaster relief vehicle could be picked up in april 2017 in bonn and taken over into operational service. It has already been used three times in various heavy weather operations and transported 1500 sandbags. 20 forces were able to pass the performance test "group in the fire brigade" three groups successfully deployed. This year, according to the commander, the performance test "technical assistance" will take place, associated with the inspection of the fire department, due to the jubilee only in october held. A total of 103 missions were carried out in the past year. These consisted of eleven fires, 39 technical assistance, 21 false alarms, one first-responder mission and 31 security patrols. Compared to 2016, this was an increase of eight deployments. Bauer particularly emphasized the room fires in altenkunstadt, zum kulmitz, and weismain, kolpingplatz, which had proved to be extremely challenging. Also worth mentioning are the animal rescues in marktgraitz and kaspauer.
Bauer emphasized that it was regrettable that the rust truck, which was supported by the former district fire chief kerner, was removed from the initial alerting. Bauer received support on this topic from mayor udo dauer, who appealed to the district fire inspector ottmar jahn, who was present, to appropriately modify this equipment and restore it to its former status. Jahn spoke in this context of "nothing being set in stone" and he will pass the matter on for a new examination.
With 26 task forces bauer called the daily availability unchanged very good. In the worst case scenario, 15 forces can be used. The number of C-certificates, with over 28, is impressive. With mario wenninger and florian saum, two new members joined the team in 2017.
Currently, the fire department has 74 active service members, including 36 respiratory protection unit members, 13 group leaders, four platoon leaders, five supervisors and one supervisor of the children's fire department. An oil barrier, a mud suction device, a gas warning device, roll containers with extensive loading, various protective clothing, new functional vests and 20 lockers were newly acquired. This year, the tender for a new multi-purpose vehicle and the replacement of a multi-purpose trailer is planned.
Youth director roland dauer reported a stable membership, which currently numbers 16 youth, including three young women, with an average age of 16 years. Five members were transferred to the active fire brigade. In turn, two new admissions from the circle of the children's fire department "loschkids" could be made to be recorded. The weismain youth fire department had 95 events last year, consisting of exercises and general youth work, such as carnival float construction. As a special thanks for their services to the youth work, christian kunstmann was awarded the honorary pin of the youth fire department of bavaria in silver and markus duck the honorary pin of the youth fire department of upper franconia. 

"This is the key to success – and not a merger," the CSU politician said tuesday at the fall meeting of the federal criminal police agency (BKA) in wiesbaden. He also defended his plans for a new counter-terrorism center against criticism from the federal states. BKA president jorg ziercke also called for better networking of police and intelligence services at federal and state level.

The right-wing extremist zwickau terror cell was only busted a year ago. The german security authorities had not been able to track down the murdering and robbing trio for years. The group is accused of the murders of nine migrants and a policewoman between 2000 and 2007.

The planet’s nuclear powers are once again investing more in their nuclear arsenals, according to peace researchers. The number of nuclear weapons worldwide fell by just under four percent last year, according to the stockholm peace research institute sipri.

But nuclear powers are again more keen to modernize their weapons, he said. "Frankly, this is a negative trend," sipri nuclear weapons expert shannon kile told the german press agency. The decline in nuclear weapons has slowed decisively in recent years and can only be attributed to the USA and russia discarding weapons they no longer need.

Last sunday andreas reuter had enough, and he wrote to the tageblatt: "for some weeks now, there have been daily disruptions (massive delays, one or two train cancellations almost every day) on the nurnberg-sonneberg RE trains, which travel between bamberg and coburg on the ICE route to coburg." Also on sunday the regional express (RE) was cancelled, which started at 7am.38 o’clock should have gone to bamberg.
There were also disruptions in the opposite direction on sunday: the regional express train to sonneberg arrived too late in coburg and then did not continue to thuringia at all, so that the passengers in sonneberg, who had arrived at 9 a.M., had to wait for the train to arrive.07 o’clock had to wait another hour.
Reuter writes that he has not received any response from the railroad to his request for information. It had already happened to him several times that he wanted to get on a train to coburg in bamberg, which was first announced as delayed and then did not arrive at all. "At the moment, the DB does not guarantee a reliable transport of the passengers between sonneberg and bamberg, because it can be assumed that every day trains are cancelled or cancelled. Are massively missed.", he writes.
The problem is known to the railroad, and they also know the cause – it’s the locomotives. The RE trains in question run over the new ICE line to bamberg and must therefore be equipped with an ETCS train control system. However, only five locomotives are available to the railroad for this purpose. Four are in daily use (two on each train), one serves as a substitute, according to a spokesman for the railroad. "At present, two locomotives are experiencing different vehicle failures, so that individual regional express trains are running via lichtenfels." Locomotives can run on this line without ETCS. "The employees of the workshop are working flat out to eliminate the disruptions. According to the current status, the vehicles will be available again at the end of this week at the latest", affirms the railroad spokesman.
The railroad had to have an interest in ensuring the punctuality of its trains, says agnieszka urban, spokeswoman for the bavarian railroad company (BEG). The BEG orders the train service for the regional connections; the direct connection coburg-bamberg by regional express was not established until the timetable change in december 2017. "Within the framework of our transport contracts, we specify concrete minimum punctuality values and impose contractual penalties if the transport companies do not achieve the required values. In the event of train cancellations, the transport companies do not receive any payment from us, declares urban. In short: in case of delays and train cancellations, the railroads will pay for it.
As far as the train cancellation on sunday in sonneberg is concerned, according to the railroad and BEG, it had a different cause: a vehicle fault occurred in sonneberg that could not be repaired. A replacement vehicle was also not available at short notice, so that the train was completely cancelled.
Andreas reuter would like to be sure that as a teacher he can plan class trips by train, as he writes. "I don’t want to be stranded in the evening in bamberg, for example, with more than 20 ten- to eleven-year-old schoolchildren and have to inform the parents that they have to pick up their children in bamberg."
What also bothers reuter is the sparse information for travelers about train cancellations and delays. In the coburg train station, the rough display board in the hall has not been working for weeks; if you want to know whether your train is late, you have to rely on the displays on the platforms. But the announcements on the platforms do not work. The railroad spokesman sighs that this is due to outdated technology. The plan was to replace it at the end of june anyway. But it had broken down prematurely and could no longer be repaired.

When someone has a sudden spurt of success, we like to say: "that was water on his mills" or "it’s got top water. We would like to get to the bottom of the origin of this proverb on the basis of the fresh muhle in unterzettlitz.

With the romans, the technology of watermill construction also came to us. A distinction is made between upper and lower sizing mills. Undersized mills are often built directly on the water, without any rough hydraulic engineering measures, the mill wheel is only driven by the water flowing by.

"Jurgen klopp should become national coach at some point, absolutely ? And then win the world cup with germany. As far as success is concerned, then definitely nothing will work, not even for kloppo," the defender of fubball bundesliga team union berlin told the "frankfurter allgemeine sonntagszeitung" newspaper.

Coach klopp, with whom subotic won the championship at borussia dortmund, is currently "the most holistic and also the most influential coach. I don’t know anyone else who has had such an impact on the whole of fubball, on both the sporting and human levels."The previous year, klopp had already led liverpool FC to a champions league triumph. This season the reds also won the title in england for the first time in 30 years.

From her point of view, it is only in germany that an athlete is punished in this way, whereas in italy the former tour de france winner marco pantani is still a national hero even after his death despite doping. "We germans are very extreme in this respect. I think it’s good," said the 36-year-old from bayreuth.

She does not put her hand in the fire for anyone in the triathlon. "Unfortunately, i have lost this naivety in the meantime, but i can speak for myself and stand at the starting line with a clear conscience and say: i am clean! And if i can win hawaii, then it is possible to win hawaii cleanly," haug emphasized.
