The Earth looks peaceful...
Has always been a dream of the people was to look at the world from above. The space capsule, in which US chimpanzee "Enos", circled the earth twice, an automatic camera has fulfilled that dream. These sensational shots are. in the time lapse technique created and show the globe, its continents and oceans, and the formation of clouds in the atmosphere from a distance of 200 km.

In reality but...
Even weirder it feels therefore, if today a cargo ship on a sand bank is driven and no power on this earth capable of is to get it back afloat.
Eight tugs had tried for days in vain with 14,000 HP to liberate the British freighter "Ondo" from the dreaded Mahlsänden of big bird sand prior to the Elbe estuary. To give buoyancy to the ship, the captain had them throw the valuable cocoa cargo overboard. The "Ondo" is now waiting to break apart and to sink into one of the large ship cemeteries of maritime history.
Under the flag of the Congo Province of Katanga, French-speaking Walloons in rare Concord went to Brussels with the Flemings against the renewed. Military action of the United Nations before. The Belgians are a sharp opponent of the violent annexation of Katanga to the Republic of the Congo by the United Nations. How far however the temperament of the demonstrators is fueled by the economic interests of Belgium in the Congo, is not seen.
Meanwhile, the UN action in Katanga takes their bloody and grotesque history. The Elisabethville airfield is in the hands of the UN troops. The cat's gesische population was followed by a call to their Prime Minister Tshombe and was with bow and arrow to the all-out war.
At the sight of the English Royal yacht "Britannia" against peaceful salute rang out. Also on the penultimate station of her trip to Africa, in Sierra Leone, Queen Elisabeth had the opportunity to indulge here Very much welcoming Africans.
The enthusiasm of the population about the sympathetic monarch in Europe was great, and for black women in Africa seems to be Elisabeth as well as in Europe to the idol. With their long and certainly exhausting trip through the black continent, the English royal couple helped watch the Union Jack in Africa to glory.
The gloss of a long practiced ceremony awarded the prizes to the winners of this year's in the presence of the Swedish Royal family in the Stockholm Concert Hall. Since 1901, the Nobel Foundation on five areas of spirit distinguished personalities "that made the biggest benefit of mankind in the last year".

Retracing the steps of Christmas, theme of the week is Of course the upcoming Christmas Festival. And because it is just these things from the serene side of the Atlantic, has been now visiting there numerous living water nymphs Santa Claus in Florida for the official duty. -After this rather stunning Christmas present the nymphs looked reluctant transported the visitors from their männerlosen existence.
Also deals with the advent and Christmas season, the imagination of the students in the College for flower binding in Bad Godesberg. Quite new flowers and FIR formations that will revive the traditional table decoration in the advent season arising under the hands of the young flower Binder after almost geometric point of view.
Advent in the British women's prison Holloway. On the 400 inmates, the wardens eyes rest as alert as usual. At Christmas time but less rules are strict. Our English colleagues received the exemption, to film the faces of the women, because most of these prisoners will spend her whole life in this prison.
At night, the Sisters of the Westminster Hospital in the aisles singing carols. Then they bring the children. Prison inmates, who live in a particular department under State care.
The performance of a pantomime is the focus of Christmas celebrations every year. The prisoners rehearsed yourself. The custom that the prisoners who must work hard throughout the year, will be served during the Christmas celebration by their guards want it in Holloway. For some, this festival of hope maybe will be the last behind prison walls. Many will never leave them.

The sports report the pipeline from Hesse, Westphalia and Palatinate fought for the title of a German master of gymnastics federations in Ravensburg. The Palatinate were handicapped among critical due to the failure of Philipp Fürst.
The Oppau Helmut Baum had not A lot of luck. Not much accurate was his free rollover into the slope of the upper arm.
The Hessian team - here Laszlo Szakacsi of the rings - with a young, Very much homogeneous team joined. She earned won ahead of Westphalia and Palatinate.
The Westphalian of Günter Lyhs returned as always with extreme concentration and control. On the horizontal bar, he received despite bad departure 9.50 points. He was the best single Turner. In the Club home of the Düsseldorf billiard friends, we visited Germany's strongest junior players Norbert Witte and the German Champion and European record holder Siegfried Spielmann. You should show us the art of billiards. First it all started innocently. But then they attacked deep into her large bag of tricks. A weightless and unerring art made the game of billiards with the help of ball, queue, and physical skills.
