But there’s one thing that can be quite annoying about the glowing green speech bubble on the display, and that’s the chat groups that the messenger offers.

Of course, a group message function like this is very practical for many people, because you can get on the nerves of several recipients at the same time – whether they like it or not. Above all, the whatsapp groups always appear in the same garb: one of them sets them up, either as an obligatory family chat or as a kindergarten group in which concerned mothers ask whether the offspring of other families also have gastrointestinal problems – or which jacket is best suited for an excursion. Not missing, of course, the "what-do-we-do on the weekend?"-group, in which you never agree anyway.

On his own property on a slope in the selzach valley in wallenfels, an elderly man burned old lumber thursday afternoon. As a breeze moved through the valley from time to time, the fire got out of control and covered a flat of about 100 square meters.

The rapid intervention of the wallenfels volunteer fire department prevented the fire from spreading to the high forest and the other slope overgrown with brush. Since the site was not easy to reach with the tanker trucks, the firefighters laid pipes from the surface hydrant in order to have enough firewater available.

The iphone 5 got a coarser touchscreen for the first time. It now has a screen diagonal of 4 inches (10.16 cm) instead of the previous 3.5 inches (8.9 cm). As a result, a number of app icons fit more on the display.

Instead of the usual wide plug for connection to other devices, the new iphones will have a smaller connector. But apple will offer an adapter. The camera retains the previous resolution of 8 megapixels, but was renewed from scratch. The iphone now has a function for taking panoramic pictures.

Age-related eye diseases increase as life expectancy rises and often have a negative impact on the mobility and social satisfaction of the people concerned. Studies estimate that around 1.2 million people with visual impairments or blindness live in germany, half of whom are over 70 years old. Early prevention is therefore very important and is directed at the various disciplines and partners in the healthcare sector.

With the "seeing in old age" project the blind institute foundation and the lowvision foundation want to test for the first time how high the proportion of visually impaired people in senior citizens' facilities is and how they can be supported by comprehensive vision care. Cooperation partners are the caritasverband fur die diozese wurzburg, the universitatsaugenklinik wurzburg, the bayerischer blinden- und sehbehindertenbund e. V. As well as the johann wilhelm klein academy gmbh.

Already a slightly queasy feeling to be standing seven meters below the level of the main river. On the chapped concrete floor in the shadow of the weir gate at the schweinfurt barrage. The water here is usually brown. The weir gate flussauarts should hold. It has been going on for over 50 years.
The water masses from below hold up a barrier that looks a bit like an oversized engineering construction kit: six panels of two steel plates each, mounted on A-shaped riders that are in turn anchored in the concrete floor.
The experts call the barrier an "inspection lock. The plates protrude into the drained space, they tower above the people by far, and behind the plates the main river stands four meters high. In a few places it seeps through, especially on the sides where the steel meets the concrete. But what goes in, two pumps immediately take out again.

Capable of handling 19 barrages

The schweinfurt waterways and shipping authority (WSA) is responsible for 19 barrages. "A barrage consists of a sluice, a weir, a hydroelectric power plant and a dam", it says on the homepage of the office. The locks are drained and inspected once a year, the weirs every six years. The principle is quickly explained: the main is blocked off above and below the weir, the water is pumped out, and the 30-meter-wide weir gate is dry and can be inspected and, if necessary, repaired or improved. The execution is a little more complex. "You couldn't build the plates with millimeter precision, then it wouldn't be possible to mount them", says helko frohner, deputy head of the WSA schweinfurt. The assembly is quite difficult as it is. The riders must be erected and anchored while the water is still in the river bed. This is only possible with a diver, who instructs the crane by radio, which hands him the riders, so to speak.
