Africa: the technology provided the most interesting events of the week this time. The Kariba Dam in Central Africa is nearing its completion an over 3000 square kilometre reservoir will be here over the next years.

Detroit: America reports a difficult launch. In Detroit was a 25 thousand-ton water left. This largest side launched in the history of seafaring went smoothly across the stage. Only the viewers took wet feet.
The latest achievement of the British overseas fleet was christened by Princess Alexandra to the name "Oriana". The Oriana has 40 thousand tons and is intended for 2 thousand passengers.

United States: New opportunities for motorists Chelsea: completely unaffected by the age of the Düsenantriebs, an English sculptor invented the "bird plane". The wings, which are designed exactly according to the principle of a bird wing, should lift its inventor in the skies and Mister Mac Donald from Chelsea made it In fact. After numerous attempts, he flew slightly further than 50 metres.

New York: True to the motto "time is money" an American millionaire has bought a car with helicopter built-on. In this way, he has his car whenever you are on extended business trips.
The car of tomorrow in New York hovered over the street. You heard right; It floated, because from tomorrow, the engineers say, there is no more wheels, but only compressed air cushion.

Illinois: to solve the parking problems, an American student designed the rolling shoe. The Fußgängertum is thus finally being abolished.
With the rolling shoe the feet are largely conserved and after this profound knowledge we are once again ripe for clever and forgetful. Precious and delicious millions: with sharpened guns detectives were waiting at the Düsseldorf Airport, because a gentleman arrived from New York, and the Lord was carrying a suitcase. The contents of this box is worth between brothers a fortune. And in a Düsseldorf jewelry store he was revealed: jewels worth 10 million marks.
Among the plethora of offer we discovered for example a number of passable Christmas gifts, this tiara for the bite of 800 thousand Deutsche mark.
In this context, it is perhaps interesting to know that Germany has the world's second-largest diamond industry with 5 thousand grinders. The production runs at full speed and on the question of how it to on, to come to a such a stately stone told us a millionaire: take the first penny and start to save.

Pennies: How is saved, a Dutch Savings Bank Director who aread gained in many years of work, what stimulates the economy showed us. The old habit to keep his stock package in the oven and his money in the knit stocking, bears no interest and is therefore becoming more and more out of fashion.

Lap dog: And the fashion, ladies, well, that's a story that we never get past once. Or are perhaps so presumptuous to claim that something exceeds the measure of all things? And where does the moral sense, if so a poor little creatures, just run pudelnackicht through life?
We are definitely your opinion! A dog must be covered! Main thing is that the pattern is consistent with mistress.
Paris attracts not only the world of women, but also the animal world recently. Brehms Tierleben appears down Right away with Schnittmusterbogen.

Predators: the psyche of the animals completely to fathom, the universally estimated singer Frank Forster in a predator cage ventured.
But the King Tigers of the circus Busch Royal rest kept all expectations to the contrary. Which, it has been proven that even exotic predators under the influence of German Schlager music in the depths of spiritual emotion to sink. (Original sound)

Masquerade: With this desire, Barbara was crowned Queen of Berlin Karnevalsgesellschaft I..
At the 11.11 on time at 11:11 began here as everywhere in Germany the high season of fools. The Berlin Carnival celebrated this event with a ceremonial session in the prelate. Pièce de résistance was a parody of the famous film and temporary cultural critic - Friedrich Luft. (Original sound)

Mask Dance: Centuries, maybe millennia lie between the modern carnivalesc masquerade and the elaborate mask art form of Indian Kathakali dancers that came for the first time in Germany.
Kathakali is a dance spectacle is a 2 thousand years old collective poem by 90 thousand verses to reason. The art of representation of lies exclusively in the gestures, a dancer until fully mastered after 8jährigem studies.
Everything is set up in the detail. There are 26 species, the hands to move, 36 different looks and 504 body movements, each of which has a special meaning. -An ancient and unprecedented art.

Sports: Olympic art about art can split opinion, Very much divided, but it was about the exhibition "Sport in art" in Munich, it has Gern eight mission-we quote - the classic marriage between sports and art to renew. Most controversial: the this athlete of the sculptor Fritz Brosig. Complained was especially that artist no understanding of art have no notions of the sports and athletes. But please, judge for yourself.
Dancing gymnastics, a bronze by Karl Reidel.
Ballplayers by Baldur Geipel.
Ringer, a bronze by Alfred Lörcher.
Cyclists, also by Alfred Lörcher. Hubert Elsässer interpreted the Hurdlers.
The rower by Hans Gabriel.
And the football team, a work of art by Karl Reidel.

After 80 seconds.
Box art here, certainly No more so bad has A lot left, because only 80 seconds the dream of Peter Miller took from the European Championship. In the Berlin Germany Hall Bubi Scholz had not even really get his challenger in the ring and already came... by the end of the beginning.
Apparently somewhat angered Peter Müller Once again coming on the legs, Gustav Scholz is the Sprint.
After 80 seconds the coach threw in the towel to the character of the task and Bubi was not even out of breath.
