According to their own statements, they feel the pure joy of life in the streets of the old town. They love the live music of different bands and the varied wine offer. In her red winter jacket, anita glaser is beaming all over: "this is a super event and the people of volkach are coming up with something great", she swarmed from the event. "If something like this is in our area, then we simply have to support it."

Like many other party guests, the glasers used the mainschleifen shuttle to get to volkach in a relaxed manner. "When we have drunk a few schnapps, we don't need a car, we go home by bus", female franz-josef glaser to appreciate the advantages of the bus feeder. "The shuttle is not only for tourists, but also for the locals. Why risk your driving license?", his wife emphasizes and summarizes the advantages of the way of life: "there is something for every generation in the matter of music." tasting the wines and enjoying the culinary delicacies is something very special for the glasers, something that does not exist in the normal everyday life of the mainschleife. "Here some top vintners offer their wines and you have the chance to taste them in a wonderful ambience."

While anita and franz-josef glaser are dancing to a rocking song by led zeppelin at the max muller winery and enjoying the good mood, margit kirch and her husband reinhard are strolling through the weinstrabe. Walking from vintner to vintner and making a fubmarsch through the wine variety of volkach are a welcome change for the vintner couple from fahr. The bad weather did not prevent them from visiting the way of life. They did not regret coming. "I love pop, beat and schlager, says margit kirch. She appreciates the variety of music that is sometimes served in the individual winzerhofen without verstarker.

Meeting many people you know
Her husband reinhard is looking forward to meeting many people he knows as he strolls through the music district. "There are people there that I haven't seen for ages." while his wife prefers the musical performances, for him the unique wine tasting is in the foreground. "Here you can get muller, silvaner, kerner, everything you can find in franconia." at the end of an exuberant tour, the kirchs are picked up by their son.

The glasers from nordheim also held their night out in high spirits. "We don't really go on vacation at this time of year, because it's nicest here in mainfranken", anita glaser swarming home from her hometown.

"We have no evidence of plans to use chemical weapons," nato ambassador alexander grushko said, according to information from the interfax agency. He accused nato of already interfering in the syrian conflict with the planned deployment of "patriot" missiles in turkey.

But even among the regime's opponents, there are many who believe the discussion of a poison gas operation is a diversionary maneuver by the U.S. They suspect that this danger is now being exaggerated by washington in order to have a pretext for activities against militant islamists in syria. "The americans are playing a dangerous game," said a syrian dissident in istanbul.

The head of the syrian national council (SNC), george sabra, on the other hand, said on the news channel al-arabiya that the use of poison gas by the regime could not be ruled out. The international community must move into action before it is too late.

Syrian rebels, meanwhile, are already preparing for the time after the fall of president baschar al-assad. Officers of the free syrian army (FSA) discussed a new leadership structure. The opponents of assad said that the deserters wanted to elect a chief of staff at their meeting in antalya, turkey, who would lead the army even after the expected fall of the regime. A rebel unit from the eastern city of deir as-saur, however, said it was not ready to recognize the new leadership.

Independent observers suspect that by building a unified leadership structure, the FSA wants to avoid having a command structure imposed on it through a post-assad plan that also satisfies assad's former partners russia and china. The demonstrations after friday prayers in syria were this time under the slogan "no to peacekeepers on syrian soil". One dissident said: "the international community has not helped us so far, so they don"t need to come now to protect the supporters of the assad regime."

In cairo, opposition negotiations on the formation of a transitional government also continued. Controversy arose over whether former minister-president riyadh hejab should be included in the government. Some opposition allies had suggested this in order to facilitate a later reconciliation between the civil war parties.

On friday, rebel fighting with government troops was concentrated mainly in the damascus area. The rebels released a video showing them on a captured tank in the village of harasta. On thursday, more than 80 people were killed in syria, according to activists. On friday, they also paid at least 80 dead by early evening. Most casualties again reportedly in the greater damascus area.

Things are happening in klostergasse: construction workers set up a container and stored a large number of barrier beacons on thursday morning. Along klostergasse, as the signs also put up there on thursday state, there will be an absolute no-stopping rule from monday morning: the renovation of klostergasse is casting its shadows ahead.

A look back: in the summer, after almost two years of construction, the "new central parking lot, now called eku-platz, has been completed. Only in the surrounding area there was still work to be done. The last individual item on the agenda for the city of kulmbach was the reconstruction of klostergasse.

However, the city was then jolted back from its original plan to complete this work immediately after the 2018 beer week. One paused for a moment.

As the bayerische rundschau reported in august, this was intended to give residents and business owners in the vicinity of the eku square a chance to catch their breath: after all, they had patiently endured months of construction work and traffic obstructions – and had to put up with a noticeable drop in sales.

Early in 2018, the renovation will be done, so it was said at the time. Finally, the work should be completed by the time of the summer events – the old town festival and the beer week.

So now it starts. This was confirmed by the city of kulmbach yesterday in a press release. According to the report, the construction companies gunther-bau and dechant hoch- und ingenieurbau have begun setting up the construction site and installing traffic safety systems.

From monday, 7. January, the earthworks for the laying of the new water main in klostergasse are to start first. During these works the klostergasse will be open to through traffic; the roadway will only be slightly narrowed.

From the 14. January the new water pipes are being laid by the ASK company and the connections to the new pipes are being re-tied.

What no one can exactly calculate at the moment: the weather. "All work is subject to the weather", it says in the press release. "Therefore, if the weather does not permit the start of the work, there may still be postponements of the above-mentioned dates."

Due to the construction work, the short-term parking spaces in klostergasse had to be closed and the stop for the plassenburg express had to be relocated. The plassenburg-express will be stopped at the bus stop near the dr until the reconstruction works in klostergasse are finished.-stammberger hall on and off.

The city of kulmbach advises drivers familiar with the area to avoid the construction site. For example, over the karl-jung-strabe – which, however, will be closed next week due to tree felling work.

During the entire work, the properties in the klostergasse should be accessible to fub, the city assures. "We will endeavor to reduce the restrictions and obstructions to the absolutely necessary minimum.", it remains. "The city of kulmbach asks in advance for the understanding of business people, residents and the general public for the unavoidable impact of the work."

Some things are different in coburg. For example, the education and participation package. Initiated by the federal government years ago, the job centers in many municipalities are responsible for processing applications and issuing notices. In coburg, susanne holzmann and andrea hofer from the city's education office have been taking care of the processing since april 2011. This is what the city council decided.

The two employees advise and remind those affected when new applications have to be made, and are contact persons for all those who want to use the education and participation package. This was based on an agreement with the jobcenter that expired at the end of the year and had to be renewed. The culture and school senate decided to extend the agreement indefinitely.

990 benefit recipients
Susanne holzmann and andrea hofer can fall back on a functioning network. They work with the job center, the housing subsidy office, the family benefits office, and the schools and daycare centers. "That has been preserved", klaus anderlik, head of the school authority, stated yesterday in the culture and school senate. In the period from july 2012 to june 2013, 882 applications were approved and only 41 were rejected. "We currently have 990 recipients of benefits from the education and participation package, including 116 new applicants." 1296 lunch subsidies were applied for – that's the rough number.

In response to a question from city councilor gerhard amend (CSB) about how much money the job center contributes to the financing, klaus anderlik replied: "the job center reimburses the costs for one position in the education office."

Hammelburg volleys – FT 1844 freiburg (saturday, 8 pm)

It is not a derby. And also, as far as common careers of players and coaches are concerned, the two second division clubs TV/DJK hammelburg and FT 1844 freiburg have hardly anything in common. Nevertheless, a special game takes place on saturday evening in the saaletalhalle. Because of what happened last season in the same place. But this time everything will be different.

Actually, the freiburger were already out of the picture. Relegated in the 2019/20 season, the club applied for a "wild card". The volleyball bundesliga (VBL) agreed in mid-may. Managing director klaus-peter jung said at the time: "we see freiburg as a valuable location that will support the development of the 2. Volleyball bundesliga sud the manner in the future can positively shape." especially the "coherent overall concept" have been the deciding factor that the freiburger were allowed to stay in the league.

Bad memories

This ligaverbleib some in the league, and also in hammelburg, must not have liked to have seen. After all, the last time the two clubs met on 16. February gave in a nervous game some provocative actions. "This game got a bit out of hand; however, the topic has been settled for us for a long time. Both clubs have had a lot of talks about this, so we are looking forward to a fair and sporting duel", today, volleys press spokesman oliver wendt is trying not to let any bad blood come up at all. He reports of talks between hammelburg’s matthias benner and freiburg’s team manager florian schneider. "All those involved are looking ahead."

New hammelburg coach cornel closca does the same. "What was, must be forgotten. Sporty we have no problem at all." except for a few players, the teams are completely different. What he is right about.

Much has been reported about the hammelburg upheaval and the departures of lukas spachmann, felix bendikowski, henning schulte and coach karl kaden. But also the freiburger have had to endure an upheaval. The breisgauer have strengthened with the australian caleb watson, player rupert scott from england and libero jonathan schonhagen from SV schwaig. They are supposed to form the experienced counterweight to the young squad around the 2.08 meter tall middle blocker paul botho, giovanni bower and luc hartmann.

Standings should not change

While the hammelburg volleys are shining with six wins from six league games, including the 3:2 win at unterhaching, the newly formed freiburg team is stuck in the bottom of the table. They have only collected four points in their seven games.

But volleys coach closca did not want to underestimate the opponent. Also because he watched the past three freiburg games and one preparation match on video. "I did not expect them to be second to last. It’s a good team, but they are not yet so well coordinated." compared to last season in hammelburg, when closca was still on the sidelines as hammelburg’s cotrainer, TF 1844 played faster volleyball. "We have to be careful."

But the romanian also sees two significant advantages for his team. There was the return of two players: luca dierks overcame his toe injury and got the okay from the doctor and physio to play again. But closca doesn’t want to take the risk of bringing on the 20-year-old too early. Ben stoverink’s injury turned out to be a thigh soreness. He is also fit again.

"We are well attuned. But we have to be careful to stay awake", says closca, who is happy to have these two players available again and to be able to vary them.

The trainer’s second trump card is an emotional one: the spectators at the tribune. "They take us forward." the volleys realized what this factor can mean when he was absent. The match in unterhaching was only seen by about 40 spectators, some of them from hammelburg.

He has prepared his team tactically, but not emotionally for freiburg in particular, closca claims. The game will show whether this was the right decision.

The IMF said in washington that this would enable the sudanese country to increase its foreign exchange reserves, boost spending on health care and do more to cushion the economic impact of the crisis. The pandemic has already had a significant impact on the economy, he continued. The IMF funds have improved pakistan’s financial situation, which has been allowed to attract the support of other donors, he continues.

Dozens of countries have already applied to the IMF for emergency aid or loans because of the corona crisis. The washington-based organization unveiled its latest economic forecast on tuesday. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the global economy will shrink dramatically this year," explained rast. The IMF expects the worst global recession in almost a century. Pakistan’s economy suffers from high budget deficits, double-digit inflation and low tax revenues.

Prime minister imran khan had already announced a national financial package of 1.2 billion pakistani rupees (about 6.6 billion euros) by the end of march. Economists had predicted mass unemployment for the country of more than 200 million people as a result of the nationwide curfews. More than 18 million people, mostly day laborers, could lose their jobs as a result of corona. Pakistan had therefore already decided on tuesday to relax the corona acceptance criteria.

They are committed to preserving nature and biodiversity, they organize training courses, children’s activities and camps, they save crocodiles, fight against flatworms, are committed to environmentally friendly energy and keep an eye on water and air limits. We are talking about the dedicated members of the bundes naturschutz.

Living conditions are getting worse

The kulmbach district group, chaired by karl-heinz vollrath, looked back on the past year in the kommunbrau hall.

"We experienced a year of heat and drought, but also of floods and storms", said the chairman. "We are leaving our children and grandchildren a world with significantly worse living conditions." the coal phase-out has been decided, but not until 2038. And there is still no solution for a nuclear repository.

"The air traffic increases annually by five percent and the individual traffic by the development of roads is always further demanded." we are heading for gridlock, the wrong course has been set in politics.

Everyone bears responsibility

Karl-heinz vollrath was all the more pleased that for several weeks now, young people have been taking part in "fridays for future"-movement organized. "Become active!", was his call to all.

This call was taken up by the "grunwehrbeck" ralf immediately spoke up by stating convincingly: "man is responsible for making the environment a better place, we all are, not only politics."

He and his entire family were honored with the environmental award of the kulmbach BN local group. An award that ralf grob saw as representative of all small artisan bakers. The "grunwehrbeck" has won the environmental award according to laudator katrin geyer also well deserved. Not only does he consume 20 percent less energy despite a rooftop photovoltaic system that makes him a business. "This bakery has a soft spot for regionality, quality and also a strong social vein."

In recent years, ralf and sebastian grob had used the proceeds from various types of bread to support, among other things, amphibian conservation, a scout troop, church renovations and the paul-gerhardt kindergarten. "Grunwehrbeck sources his products from the region; he even buys hazelnuts from a farm in upper bavaria and not from turkey", so geyer.

Consumers in demand

Nevertheless, ralf grob sees himself confronted with growing problems. "We small bakers only supply ten percent of the kulmbach population, the rest buy baked goods that require an incredible amount of energy." in the past, there were 160 bakers in the district, so it is up to the consumer to ensure that the bread supply is also guaranteed in the future.

Third mayor frank wilzok praised the quality and commitment of the grob family and also emphasized: "everyone is called upon to do something for environmental protection, we all need to be grounded again."

Criticism of the city council’s decision

Asked by vollrath about the city council’s decision against the photovoltaic plant in grafendobrach, wilzok referred to a basic resolution from 2009. "But of course we have to create alternative energies, no one is saying that we can’t do things differently in the future."

Frank wilzok and deputy district administrator dieter schaar received further suggestions from second chairman roland ramming. "It would be important to rethink the land use plan," says albert, he said in view of the nature conservationists’ motto for 2019 "creates a future worth living".

Dieter schaar showed that the district is already very active in environmental protection. "We give out flower seeds, which have led to initiatives such as the ‘kasendorfer blutenmeer’ or the ‘mainleuser blumenwiesen’." a step in the right direction, but still, ramming says, it’s important to avoid urban sprawl and sealing of land. The city should also set a good example in terms of tree planting and pruning.

Oaks instead of plane trees

"At the central parking lot, other trees could have been planted instead of plane trees, which serve as food for just four species of insects", he cited as a concrete example. One oak tree, for example, had provided something for around 250 species of insects. In this context, the BN local group wished to revive the burgerforum, which had already existed in the past. "We were happy to participate", karl-heinz vollrath castle.

In a short presentation, ronja endres, speaker for political communication, explained how important the upcoming european elections will also be for nature conservation, because: "the environment knows no artificially generated borders", she said.

In agriculture, she called for public money for public services, not for coarse farming practices.

A court in the state of selangor found the 40-year-old guilty of smuggling 1.5 kilograms of the synthetic drug methamphetamine into the southeast asian country in january 2011, according to media reports friday. The defendant was arrested at the airport in the capital city of kuala lumpur. He denies the crime.

The federal government wants to prevent the man from being executed. According to the foreign office in berlin, the german embassy in malaysia has already been involved in the case since the arrest of the bundesburger. "Germany is strongly opposed to the death penalty worldwide," said a ministry spokeswoman.

According to a report by the malaysian state news agency bernama, the 40-year-old testified at the trial that he had taken the bag in which the drugs were found to malaysia from syria on behalf of a friend. The bag had been intended for a friend there. Judge noor azian shaari, however, did not accept the statements of the defendant, who was born in togo, according to the newspaper "the star": it depends on in whose possession the drugs were.

In june, two german citizens were acquitted in a drug smuggling trial in malaysia. Her moroccan acquaintance, on the other hand, was sentenced to death. He was accused of bringing nearly seven kilos of methamphetamine into the country. The three men, aged 26 and 27, were arrested at kuala lumpur airport in early january.

They had traveled to malaysia from germany after a stop in turkey lasting several days. First, all three were accused of drug trafficking. However, the defense of the two germans could have raised "reasonable doubts," the judge said at the time. The two had testified that before entering malaysia, the moroccan had given them each a bag, the contents of which they did not know.
