Robber must wait for his sentence

Robber must wait for his sentence

The accused had admitted on the first day of the trial that he, masked with a balaclava, robbed a 69-year-old pensioner living alone in his house and took 800 euros from him. To do this, the man had used a stun gun, threatened the pensioner with a knife and, before leaving the scene, tied him up with cable ties.

Stun gun "of miserable quality"
The psychiatric expert was asked to give his opinion on the question of what influence the defendant's drug use over many years had on the crime. According to the court, the mandatory break will now also be used to have the bavarian state criminal investigation office check the stun gun used in the robbery. The defendant had claimed that the vehicle came from romania, was therefore of poor quality and could not have seriously injured the pensioner.

Track for cyclists and skaters will soon enrich streitberg playground

track for cyclists and skaters will soon enrich streitberg playground

The playground behind the streitberger burgerhaus is well protected from traffic; but it is also so hidden that an outsider can hardly spot it. While it offers all kinds of playground equipment, it offers only limited opportunities for young cyclists and skaters.

This is now to be different. Like their colleagues from muggendorf, the playground friends of streitberg have developed a plan to make the playground more attractive by creating a fenced-in cycling track. Its spokesman, thomas saueracker, has presented the council with plans for the project, which have met with general approval – not least because the community will not incur any costs.

Money for new school project

Money for new school project

Storks promise child blessing, as popular payments know to report. But it has now become clear that the animals can also provide an unexpected windfall: in the internet vote for the "club leader" the jugendladen association, which runs the hammelburg youth center, won first place in the social category and 2000 euros.
Christian fenn succeeded in motivating enough visitors of his stork website to click for the youth store. The online vote was also held at the right time: towards the end of the voting period, the stork chicks were hatching, bringing record numbers of visitors to the website.
"It was clear that without the stork site, we had no chance of garnering enough clicks", says fenn, who is also a member of the youth store’s board of directors. The 2000 euros are a lot of money for the association. "The amount represents more than 50 percent of our usual annual turnover", says fenn. The money is not only to be invested in the hammelburg youth center. Fenn also wants to support the westheimer, who are setting up a youth room for themselves.
But one thing in particular is close to fenn’s heart: "we want to do another project with the young people." The projects have always been the remarkable thing about the hammelburg facility. In 2009, young people had designed a model for making bahnhofstrabe more attractive. In 2010, a group came up with marketing ideas for the then municipal winery.
The approach for the new task could be that the young people compile their favorite places in a brochure. Fenn liked that they were concerned with their surroundings. There is no concrete timetable yet. But work had to start in the fall to get the brochure ready for next year’s summer and winter seasons.
In 2013, the club will be able to look back on 20 years of youth work. The youth center is now part of hammelburg, even though there are still some reservations about it. "People should show more interest before they judge," he says, says irmi mutzel. That’s what she wants most from parents.
Mutzel looks after the young people. According to your information, there are 15 to 20 visitors a day. Mutzel emphasizes: "alcohol is not a problem here. We do not serve alcohol." "Through us, young people do not come into contact with bad things. They are better off with us than on the streets", says fenn.

What happens to the gas station?

There, mayor erich hegwein presented the same report as a week ago in gnodstadt. If he even received applause there, the burghers in marktbreit did not share his enthusiasm. They listened to the lecture without interruptions, but took advantage of the subsequent discussion to ask many questions and make suggestions.

When will the flowtrail in burgsinn open??

When will the flowtrail in burgsinn open??

Thrills, sporting challenges and fun: the flowtrail in burgsinn is supposed to offer all this to local cyclists and tourists. It is the long-awaited dream of some mountain bike enthusiasts from the market community.

The winding course of the 2.2-kilometer-long trail in the forest is intended to make cyclists feel like they're on a roller coaster when they're hurtling down it. Artificial wooden structures, over which mountain bikers can ride and jump, give the downhill run the additional character of an obstacle course. But when does the runway actually open to the public??

Leave jan ullrich alone

Leave jan ullrich alone

Former professional cyclist jan ullrich is said to be in withdrawal in "my way betty ford-stop clinic in bad bruckenau. A confirmation is not to be obtained, the 44-year-old is a patient and the clinic impresses with absolute confidentiality. This is the message.
Everything else that has been written about the man ullrich in the last few days is simply disgusting keyhole spying. Drooling and slobbering, many people and media make money out of a person’s crisis. Or publicity. What does actor til schweiger have to do with passing on the mallorca incident one-to-one to the tabloids?? Schweiger is cautious and sells the publicity as a friendly service. The tenor: through public humiliation he could persuade him to withdraw. Who has such friends, needs no enemies.
In the ullrich affair, many editorial offices failed to apply any restraints. First and foremost in the rooms of the bild newspaper.
There are for the umpteenth time in these days intimate and highly private from ullrich on the front page packed. What business is it of ours how much money ullrich still has in his account?? Bild hypocritically asks: "when will ullrich run out of money??", only to give the reader the all-clear 18 lines later: he still has assets in the "high single-digit millions". A sigh of relief went through germany’s living rooms and construction sites: ullrich will still be able to pay the clinic bill himself.
I guess it’s the pleasure of going down – and no, it wasn’t better in the old days. Who still remembers the stinking drunk harald juhnke, whom no one protected from the running camera?
While bild pays for the cigarettes ullrich smokes – three at a time, if you want to know – other channels like RTL pull forgotten sports celebrities out of the dusty box of ex-advertising partners. Henry mask for example. He may first praise his wife. Because he has a "wonderful wife, as it reads between the lines on t-online, nothing like this happened to him. "There are high points and there may be difficulties and to deal with them, you don’t always have the right hand at your side and sometimes you have to push yourself through." Maske once thought about how mrs. Ullrich must feel when she reads something like this? The woman who left jan ullrich with their joint children, the reason may also have been her husband’s addictive disease. I did not like to know what this woman has suffered and endured up to this point. It is simply an insolence what some now take the liberty of doing and lash out at someone who is obviously lying on the ground.
Jan ullrich seems to be very ill, he seems to be addicted to the deceitful addiction to alcohol. They are looking for a substance that is available everywhere, that is not only not forbidden, but that enjoys full social acceptance. Even more: who does not drink alcohol, is considered suspicious. And how many do not notice the border between pleasure and addiction?
It’s good if jan ullrich gets help now. Like all the alcoholics in the betty ford clinic and elsewhere. Alone: it’s none of our business. Jan ullrich should finally be left in peace, and all of them – journalists who now want to make a name for themselves like supposed friends who are back in the headlines on the back of a fallen star.
However, let us be honest. If jan ullrich were to make a trip to bad kissingen, he would ring the doorbell at theresienstrabe 21, of all places, and say: "i would like to talk to the saale newspaper about my addiction" – yes, of course. I was talking to him. Without a hame, without a raised finger, because about the most widespread addiction in germany must be written and talked about. But: jan ullrich will probably not talk to any journalist anymore. I understand him.

Schauble for direct election of eu council president

Schauble for direct election of eu council president

An election of the president by european citizens would be much more fascinating than parliamentary elections and would significantly improve communication in europe, said schauble at an event in berlin on tuesday. Such a vote would also be feasible with relatively few changes to the EU treaties.

At the start of the nicolas berggruen institute of governance discussion event, at which burgers were also able to ask questions, schauble called for further progress in european integration. Individual nation states are in the 21st century. The world is no longer able to regulate global issues such as the regulation of financial markets or climate protection in the twenty-first century on its own.

Feature: Mark Zuckerberg has networked the world

Feature: mark zuckerberg has networked the world

In his letter on the borsen prospectus, he also focuses on the platform’s "social mission": it’s about "making the world more open and interconnected". With facebook’s stock exchange, this vision will turn zuckerberg from an aubenseiter at the elite university of harvard into a multi-billionaire within eight years. Zuckerberg holds a good 28 percent stake in facebook. If the stock is valued at 100 billion dollars, as expected, the 27-year-old would suddenly be a man with a fortune of 28 billion dollars.

Zuckerberg could have become a billionaire a long time ago, however. Back in 2006, then yahoo CEO terry semel confidently offered a billion dollars for the small network with less than ten million users. To the great surprise of the former hollywood fox semel, zuckerberg rejected kuhl, just as he had done with later lucrative offers. Facebook is his baby, his life’s work, and he doesn’t want to let it go.
