It-News: Notes at the time for the first time in the history of the German penal system the wife of a U.S. President visited a prison: Hilda Heinemann took part in the Christmas Christmas for the children of female prisoners in the women prison Frankfurt's Preungesheim.
Hilda Heinemann sought confrontation with one of the unresolved social problems in Germany: children of female prisoners grow up mostly in homes outside the walls, even though they often have to pay the separation from their mothers with severe developmental problems. In Preungesheim prison home children children have the necessary contact with the mother - an exception in Germany, which should become the rule.
Construction boom in the upper meadow field. There is great interest in sports site number 1 in the world: 10,000 visitors can be monthly through the terrain, which is available in two years in sign of Olympic duels. Almost all competition venues are in the shell ready - for Carl Mertz, Boß of the Olympic construction company, rise to a positive mid-term review.
In the building Centre on the upper meadow field organized and monitored Carl Mertz the huge construction project with his team. The 62 Manager - architect from Berlin--Bavaria's largest client since Ludwig II. - got the most complicated construction contract of his life quickly in the handle.
"I judge the progress of the buildings Very much, Very much positive. The biggest problem is but to organize the work to run into each other and that just nobody disturbs the other such a site by 1.150.000.000. The most serious of this sports complex is something quite strange: it is the sports complex or there are the games of short distances. The canopy is exposed as a Very much important. She played really too high. There arise no representative buildings, but there are buildings by human standards. That is what we are proud of what we, I think, will have a great success in the world.
Start for the new season in the December fog. In Hamburg, we observed the physical training of race rowers who sweat in the winter, to be fit in the spring. Farewell to the water. For the last time the circuit is completed by 2,000 metres. For laymen surprising: The power to rowing slumbers in the legs. Not the bicep but the thigh decides victory or defeat.
Weightlifting promotes explosive and tensile strength in the arms. Race rowers are professional athletes: every day you exercise two hours. The Institute for physical education in the University of Hamburg offers a new way muscle sportgerecht strapzieren recently. For 18,000 mark, she installed a torture machine with 14 built-in devices - a system of handles, pulleys, distance bands and steel springs, which allows an optimal strength training in the smallest space. American decathlete contributed their experiences to the construction of the new muscle Traliners.

This trip: an insider's tip for all those which are desert trip the Sahara - recently on the run before mass tourism with crowded beaches and clogged roads. More and more Germans discover the tart charms of the African desert. Resourceful travel companies offer their trans-Sahara trips as attractive mixture of European comfort, dosed fatigues and a touch of's adventurism.
The nomads also expect benefits from tourism. But still, it is uncertain if ever a tourist boom brings prosperity to the desert. The Seth Sahab mosque in the Tunisian city of Kairouan - it should belongs to the cultural and historical monuments, which revive tourism as the most important tourist asset. 500 years ago, it was built over the tomb of Mohammed disciple Seth Sahab. Gafsa - regular stopover on the 30-days-trip through the Sahara. The inhabitants of this oldest OASIS settlement in North Africa have already discovered the tourism industry itself. Their hand-knotted carpets are in demand at the travel agencies.
Every newly negotiated among the youth of the village: the crack in the reservoir created by the Romans - playing Chicken against hard Deutsche mark of tourists.
Outside of the OASIS, a ring of date palms protect from the desert, timelessness receives foreign visitors. Nomads on the ancient caravan routes - popular photo opportunity for tourists in the air-conditioned coach pull like millennia ago. Driving past a lesson in recent history, which stood in the sign of Colonialism: oilfield, once created by foreign powers, and exploited, the main source of income of the country today after its nationalization. Modern industry and technology - signalling the onset of the 20th century in the geschichtelose landscape of the Sahara.

This sport: Sex in the knee of the football stadium of Mexico City. In the summer of that year, millions German night shifts before the TV screen prescribed. As Müller scored the winning goal in the game against England, the world of football in Germany seemed to be back in order. If was also moving into the final: on their return was celebrated the Mexico team like a champ.
Six months later the German specialist criticism reads now also the ceremony follow the praise: 500 sports journalists voted the national team to the team of the year. Took in Baden-Baden "our Uwe", as team captain now retired, Cup and praise in reception. In the individual choice of football-fighter from the North ranked surprisingly only 2. World record swimmer Hans Fassnacht, the friend accepted the prize, was proclaimed sportsman of the year. Draft night for the award had qualified with three first and three 2nd places at European Championships in Barcelona. Ingrid Mickler-Becker was awarded the second place in the women's standings. Ingrid came to Baden-Baden as Olympic Champion: Olympics in Mexico, she won the gold medal in the 5-fight.
Sexy and in Brown Maxi Germany best athlete Heide Rosendahl turns the audience. The 23 year old Sporthochschul Assistant was considered secure winner even before the election. Attrakltiv and self-confident, it represents a new type of under the German athletes. The long jump wide course from Cologne, which demonstrated world class also in the Sprint and 5-fight, convinced even the last sceptics: the time of the powerful sports Valkyrie on German railways of ash is passé.
