Felbermayr: europe could hit usa hard in trade war

In a trade war with the u.S., europe could be a serious threat to its transatlantic partner, according to economist gabriel felbermayr.

"We still have rough economic power in europe, and we can fight back if we want to," the head of the kiel institute for the world economy said in an interview with the deutsche press agency. It sounds very warlike. "But the threat of retaliation, for example with countervailing duties, is intended in the first step to prevent the actual use of countermeasures."

Corona vaccine maker astrazeneca raked in nearly $300 million with its vaccine in first quarter – but takes lower profit.

Astrazeneca had made it clear from the outset that it would not make a profit during the pandemic with the vaccine, which was developed under the leadership of researchers at oxford university. Core earnings per share, up 55 percent, were now $1.63, down 3 cents because of the pandemic vaccine, the company said.

“A small consolation”

The youth center in hochstadt is currently closed, as are so many social meeting places. But that does not mean that the youth workers are not available for their boys and girls. On wednesday evening, the young people of hochstadt were able to meet with youth worker stephan baierl and mona reinhard and talk about how they are doing at the moment. Online natural. For two hours, people talked and laughed via microphone and camera or danced to their favorite song.

Still laughing together

"This is a test balloon for now", explained baierl, while he took photos for the instagram channel and once again referred to the event. At the inauguration ceremony of the "online pub he had also got himself a (non-alcoholic) beer. The goal was not to talk about corona. Nevertheless, people exchanged views on how their own lives are going during this exceptional situation. How it works in homeschooling also interested the two youth workers.

Schuler in basketball fever

Schuler in basketball fever

This week was the "kinder+sport basketball academy guest at the elementary and middle school schlusselfeld and inspired, as in the years before, children for the sport of basketball. The training day was organized on the rough basketball course by brose bamberg. Since 2013, basketball league team brose bamberg has been part of the "kinder+sport basketball academy" and therefore regularly on the road with the rough basketball course in bamberg and the region.

This year, too, the children had to prove themselves at the five stations and get their own basketball jersey for passing the exercises. There are six of them at the academy – analogous to the six levels of difficulty – which, with their different colors, make all the children's eyes sparkle. Sebastian bohnlein, project manager of the academy for bamberg: "the kids in schlusselfeld really liked the "kinder+sport basketball academy" two years ago found and since then are really motivated to get all the jerseys. Depending on the level of difficulty – we call it level – the exercises become more difficult and it is great to see that the kids are preparing for the test day and want to deliver on all exercises."

From now on the road is free

The HAS26 circular road, which then becomes SW 52 after fabrikschleichach, is the only east-west link from the main valley to the valley of the rough ebrach river. After three months of construction work, the second section of the new road between fabrikschleichach and hundelshausen has now been reopened to traffic.
District administrator wilhelm schneider was pleased with the successful project, which was completed on schedule and within budget. Already in 2017, two kilometers directly from the county line toward fabrikschleichach were rebuilt.
The planning of the 1.2 kilometers that have now been implemented was more difficult because there are numerous culverts here that, like the roadway, were quite dilapidated and had to be renewed. In addition, the adjacent nature conservation ponds had to be taken into consideration. There was also a long discussion about whether to install amphibian tunnels, "but the cost of 450,000 euros was unacceptably high, said the district administrator. The county's own contribution had almost doubled.
The road was upgraded very sensitively. It now has fewer dips and curves, but it is not a racetrack either. Due to the low volume of heavy traffic, the original construction width of 5.50 meters was maintained, and thus further flat sealing could be avoided. The drainage systems were also reworked; the surface water is now infiltrated in separate areas.
On 2. Construction work had begun on may 1, and the thanks of the district administrator went to the company stolz, which had delivered excellent work without delays, to the technical office werner from eltmann, and to the district's civil engineering department. The costs for the track amounted to 643,000 euros. Thanks to a generous request for funds, the county is contributing 183,000 euros from its own resources. Wilhelm schneider also thanked the people, who had to put up with detours and construction traffic for three months, and the landowners who made land available for the project.
Rauhenebrach mayor matthias bauerlein stressed that a good road network is one of the most important infrastructure facilities for a community like rauhenebrach with many commuters. With the district road in the direction of zabelstein, the upcoming construction of the state road between prolsdorf and oberaurach and the cycle path from falsbrunn to prolsdorf, work is continuously being done on this network. One could be satisfied.

Profiting from the demand for money

for the support from the state building office, the district administrator had thanked senior building official manfred rott. He did, however, offer a compliment: in the past few years, the district of habberge has taken advantage of the good conditions like hardly any other district and has rehabilitated many more kilometers of roads with the same own funds than originally planned. This is also thanks to the very flexible and efficient department of alfons schanz. HAS 26 is now in pristine condition, he says. The district of schweinfurt has also taken action in its area and has carried out a surface treatment, so that this important connection is now "rusted again for many years".
Rott also emphasized the importance of the road network for the rural infrastructure. "Whether county, state or federal – you don't realize the significance of some strab until there's a detour", he explained, before everyone cut the symbolic ribbon together and polier martin beck then removed the red crosses from the signposts in fabrikschleichach and hundelshausen.

Songs and instructions

songs and instructions

The reliable "french christmas" that takes place every year was a woman. An atmosphere that matched what was on offer in the max littmann hall. For here eight music groups had put together folk christmas tunes, songs and instrumental pieces, which told of the gentle christmas. However, some places in the audience remained free.

A look back to childhood
Although bad kissingen's second mayor, peter deeg, stated in his funeral that the view of the stage revealed that there were very vital contributors and that this was also "a look into the future", or that the "christmas yodel" was a "christmas yodel", he admitted that "folk music, especially at christmas time, is a look back to childhood" be. This view dominated the performances, which alternated in an entertaining and contemplative two-hour program.
The rhon brass band opened the round with a soft, deep sound reminiscent of horner; they set the mood calmly and festively with "rough winter, meager reward". "Enjoy it, come to rest, you people", was the title of the poem read by gabi kanz, who led the evening. This worked very well in the following. A menuet, as the "hassenbacher stubenmusik" would have it or the "christmas landler" was related to them, the "hassfurt parlor music brought to the program folk, intimate sounds of plucked or beaten instruments such as dulcimer, zither or harp. Very beautiful, lovely contributions that demanded an attentive ear. Was related to them, what the "uchtelhauser holzblaser" with warm sound in hubs, often vocabulary of the classical "serious" ones music using sentences played.
The vocal pieces (partly accompanied) were also performed with much love: the "hambacher volkssanger" delighted with dialect sentences like "when it first light burns" or the "rhonian christmas song, the "grettschter dreigesang" (three-voiced choir), who cultivates a very straight singing style, brought songs like "die stille zeit and the very mountainous seeming, from the simple folk music shaped sentence "als maria ubers gebirge ging" (when maria went over the mountains) a. The "hoibuche muisig" sometimes he used a suitably naive tone, as in "schonne weihnochtszeit": "open your heart, be thankful and peace will come"." then the chorus "il cantare" sat down with syncopated sentences in the style of new sacred songs quite clearly from.

Eu commission warns of new budget problems in italy

Eu commission warns of new budget problems in italy

Italy has taken "a series of measures to reduce the budget deficit in 2019". In fact, a large part of these measures merely postpones the date on which the expansionary fiscal measures will come into force," dombrovskis told journalists on the sidelines of a conference in riga.

The EU commissioner from latvia, who is responsible for the euro, cited the planned burial income and a reduction in the retirement age as examples. As a result, in 2020 could result in a "negative fiscal effect" and a "major problem with the budget", said dombrovskis.

The author couple was enthusiastic

The successful author couple iny klocke and elmar wohlrath (pseudonym iny lorentz), who wrote the bestseller "die wanderhure" (the wandering whore), are the authors of this book has written, was present at the premiere of her piece on the nature stage. When they heard that their novel "die wanderhure" had just been when the concert is played in trebgast, it was clear to both of them: "we want to be there." especially for elmar wohlrath this visit was connected with a special attraction, because he was born in rugendorf, but already at the age of half a year was "deported" to upper bavaria by his parents, as he emphasized. The author couple has published 55 books so far, they usually need three to four months for the written work. But the lead time for the research can sometimes take two years.

The idea for the "wanderhure" they had applied after reading a non-fiction book by author joachim fernau, which was about the council of constance and a whore uprising, among other things. "We were interested in the story, went there, did some on-site research – the riot really happened – and in 2003 the book was published."

Ltl kirchtal, s 69 and the muna

The inconspicuous mound in the area of the oerlenbach federal police station is easily overlooked. Walter rugamer opens a gleaming alu-ture and clears the way into what is surely the most massive bicycle cellar far and wide. It is one of four bunkers, relics of the former air tank farm (LTL) with the camouflage name "kirchberg".

The chief inspector (58) and hobby historian "is too much to say" about its history in detail. The result is an informative brochure with almost 70 pages, maps and photos. It deals with the "events in and oerlenbach before and during the 2nd world war". World war 1936 – 1945."
