Technology twice Amsterdam ship builders were able to celebrate the launching of a ship. 1 month after the rear part of the bow section of the super tanker "Mekania" was taken to water. "Melania" is the greatest ship that ever built on a Dutch shipyard.
The comparison with a tanker of conventional size shows the size of the tanker giant. In a record time of 48 hours welded the shipyard workers together the two parts of "Melania". Then, the tanker was transferred to his homeland, the EUROPORT in Rotterdam.
Holland Schlepporführer demonstrated their skills. They maneuvered the oil Giants safely through all obstacles. The data of the "Melania": 325 meters long, 47 meters wide; It is unloaded, the ship's bridge is 45 meters above the water surface.
The most difficult task: the passing of the Lake sluice of IJmuiden. It is only two meters wider than the tanker. The load-bearing capacity of the "Melania" amounts to 210,000 tonnes, Japan, the world's leading shipbuilding nation but is already planning oil giants, which are more than twice as large.

Mostly cheerful, a genuine Bavarian Trachtenkapelle welcomed every foreign guest. Friendship under the chestnut tree. In Munich, the Olympic Games 72 has already begun. Honoriges audience met the Malta Olympiad Prize in 1968. The biggest sports event in the world, seen through the eyes of a child.
Over 6,000 images have been submitted. The Olympic theme worked the 5-16-year-olds.
Cheerful, naïve, critically - the sport has moved into the world of children.

The slow motion time stage shows back: winter 1948 raisin bombers for Berlin. The blocked city is supplied from the air. One doesn't think ski holidays or new year's Eve travel you think cold and because there are no coals. Wood collector is waiting for the. Train that maybe one day is delayed. Germany 20 years ago. Free of coercion - free in the spirit. For the students of Berlin more than a saying. The newly-founded University is the symbol of freedom in the West sector and a rejection of the ideology of science in the other part of Berlin.
The Africans Thornton Wilder is the first well known writer who speaks to West Berlin students.
In Bonn, the Parliamentary Council advises on the Constitution of the future German Bundesstaatee. Hundreds of proposals for the new national flag come every day.
Ludwig Erhard presented the German the first spiked pieces of the Bank deutscher Länder. The iron penny is passé.
The money is in short supply. In Munich, art goes for bread. An image attracts 20 pfennigs for a lot - the winner. Frame, it is 20 pfennigs more expensive. At 10 degrees below zero, it is difficult to heat up for art.
The rubble women can again devote the fashion. Calf-length skirts of Bell and stressed waist - this is the style of 1948.
The corset is finally gone. Germany's prospects for the next 20 years are tempting.

Spotlight's are really only fashions in the suitcase - Prague presents the new spring fashions 69. the fanciest, what next season has to offer the feminine touch to the "boys"look - short skirt. The masculine touch on the "Virgin look" - the tie.
You can be Queen once again. What still frowned upon in the previous year, is already a classic. Prague sends his wives with boots in the spring.
The 1920s are still not forgotten. Charleston style hippie-style. For conservatives the white Lurex dress.
No chapter for couch potato: the new prom dresses. You can see: Prague needs to stand today no longer in the fashion of Rome or Paris.

Sports woman was clean to the point, as the GDR held one of its most important chess tournaments. She honored doctor Emanuel Lasker, a Berlin mathematician, the world champion from 1894 to 1920. Then, as now he is held by many to be Germany's only chess genius. 16 players competed in the Lasker Memorial tournament to win - including 3 grand master from the USSR. Player from Germany, who had taken place this year at the chess Olympiad in Lugano behind the Soviet Union, the Yugoslavs, Hungary and Americans the 5th were not.
Chess requires a strong sense of time. Every player in this tournament has two hours of thinking time. Not, he succeeds at this time perform the prescribed 40 trains, he has lost. The each player's clock is running, as long as he is in the game.
Lasker remained Germany's sole world champion. The Soviet Grandmaster Bronstein and Uhlmann from East Germany shared first place in East Berlin.
With the whisky, the Scots captured the bars of the continent. Now, they are to conquer even its ice rink with curling. Curling is played with a 14 to 22 kg heavy polished granite stone. Would it hurt not the snob-appeal of each curler, it would be comparable to the Bavarian curling. The key distinguishing feature is the special broom, with which the four players from a team "make fast the ice".
In Geneva, 72 teams fought for the victory in the Dolly Cup. It was the largest meeting of curling on a European rink. We will show you some of the most beautiful litters.
The sieggewohnten Scots took also the Geneva trophy. The best of all the rules of curling comforted the loser but: a drink bought to get the victory Cup.
