Culture can be scandalous or pleasing, provocative or tame, already or simply inspiring. It can be in the form of performing arts, but also tales, stories, dialect and object art belong to it as well as music that makes you talk, that makes you think or just makes you feel good in the background.
And all these different cultural directions were represented at the fourth culture night in the schutzenhaus presseck.
An eventful life story
Croatia’s national soccer players bury ivan rakitic underneath them. The former schalke player’s penalty kick to the left put his team into the semifinals of a world cup for the first time since 1998 – and put an end to russia’s surprise party.
The FC barcelona midfielder scored the decisive goal in the penalty shootout for a 4:3 victory. After 120 minutes the score was 2:2 (1:1, 1:1). Croatia’s director luka modric, who led his eleven into wednesday’s semifinal against england at moscow’s lushniki stadium, lay exhausted on his back and looked up at the night sky.
Russian coach stanislav chertschessov went into the dressing room after the game without turning around again. Jacket and tie saben. It was an exit in style, but without fortune. "In sports there is only one cup. And we now have no chance of winning this cup," said the deposed coach. "We have turned the country upside down, we are happy about that."
"After several months of construction the first section of the sinntalstrabe is almost finished." This is what mayor roland rommelt announced to his council members. The asphalt surface course was recently applied. Only the edges still need to be trimmed and the grit layer swept away.
However, as local councillor mirko metz, a resident of the sinntalstrabe, has noticed, there is a coarse amount of gravel material in the canal shafts, which means that there is a risk that blockages could occur. So now by means of the suction device of the street cleaning machine remedy is to be created.
After inspection of the construction section with the traffic expert of the police inspection bad bruckenau, klaus wiesler, it was now to decide in the meeting about speed limits and the associated necessary signage. According to wiesler, a continuous 30 km/h zone is less effective than a 30 km/h speed limit only at traffic junctions. In concrete terms, this means that in future there will be a 30 km/h barrier in front of the bus waiting area and the narrow section in the ringweg area. The next year will be decided on the part of the road to the intersection of kirchstrabe and also the entire kreuzbergstrabe.
"In the medium term, there is a threat of renewed increases in contributions or benefit cuts for the unemployed," according to a DGB position paper. The DGB’s bone of contention is the budget consolidation resolved by the black-yellow cabinet, which also entails billions in savings for the social security funds. The government is doing nothing other than "continuing a shunting yard at the expense of the contributors and in favor of the federal government and the more financially efficient taxpayers".
"Unemployment insurance is structurally underfunded," criticizes the author, DGB labor market expert wilhelm adamy. According to the cabinet’s decision, a tax subsidy totaling 5.1 billion euros is to be cut from the federal employment agency (BA) over the next four years to ease the burden on the federal government.
"As a result, contributors to unemployment insurance – i.E., predominantly small and middle-income earners – are financing the tax cuts to which the federal government has committed itself," writes adamy.
