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.

Since the existing kindergarten in dormitz at kleinsendelbacher strabe/josef-hildenbrand-strabe has reached its capacity limit and there is no longer any room for expansion in the existing daycare center, the municipality is now planning to build a second daycare center. It is to be built at sebalder strabe/veilchenweg.
For this purpose, the municipal councils awarded the planning services, and a fire protection concept is also to be drawn up. For the planning of the two-group kindergarten three companies were contacted. The rosbigalle and glauber office submitted the most economical bid. At a gross offer in the amount of 109.223 euro, the council unanimously decided to award the planning services and fire safety inspections.
As mayor holger bezold () told the councilors on request, a formal application for funds can only be made if the planning and the calculated costs for the new construction of the two-group kindergarten are available. It is planned in such a way that expansions are possible at the new location.
Contrary to expectations, the administration was not able to prepare the agenda item on the approval of the need for the kindergarten for a resolution. The approval of the need requires further clarification with the supervisory authority, explained bezold.

The new "crime scene from poland was originally scheduled for 15. December to go on the air – but not at 8:15 p.M. As usual, but only at 10 p.M. Reason for transfer to late-night program: some scenes are too tough for prime time. Now "franziska" will but aired four weeks later. Commissioners ballauf and schenk have to make room for gunther jauch, because on the 15th of this month. December the SPD will announce the result of their member vote on the grand coalition. This means that the broadcasting slot for the "tatort" will be used up the WDR announced. Originally jauch had had a break from broadcasting that evening.

The japanese scientists present their results in the journal "science". The researchers had already succeeded in similar experiments with sperm before.

Katsuhiko hayashi of kyoto university and his team used two types of stem cells for their experiments: firstly, embryonic stem cells, which are derived from embryos and can be differentiated into any cell of the body. On the other hand, so-called induced pluripotent stem cells (ips cells), which – ethically more harmless – are obtained from already matured body cells and can still differentiate into numerous different types of cells. These two types of stem cells were first transformed by the researchers through genetic manipulation into cells that closely resemble germ cells. From the primordial germ cells egg and sperm cells emerge.

This was said by andreas dombret, chairman of the bundesbank, at the presentation of the financial stability report on thursday. However, the longer it lasted, the greater the side effects and risks to financial stability: "the low interest rate environment is becoming more and more of a burden on the german financial system."

Low interest rates continue to deplete insurers’ buffers. "It is becoming increasingly difficult for life insurers to earn the guaranteed interest rate in view of the low interest rates," said dombret. In addition, the valuation reserves on insurers’ balance sheets became a problem when they had to be distributed to policyholders.

Seven young fishermen and ten adult anglers from the gremsdorf fishing club met last saturday for a rough "zam rama dama", to clean the club water and the surrounding corridor once again from the mull.

At the geratehaus, gauze bags were handed out to the individual groups, and the teams set off to their sections and searched the banks of the aisch and the neighboring areas, according to a press report from the association. Fast-food packaging, cans, bottles and all kinds of other waste were picked up by the helpers.
