germany is no 3 for trading weapons world wide. with a 10% of the market just behind the us with 30% and russia with 25%. not china or anybody else.
as always assumed, trading weapons is highly resistant to a crisis, war will never die [the exports rises for 70% for the last 5 years].
greatest hits are the leopard 2 tank and submarines [only small ones for the german sea].

spring, not this year:

Wahnsinn WoGG

2009-03-23T16:00:00.002+01:00

§ 19 WoGG
(1) Das ungerundete monatliche Wohngeld für bis zu zwölf zu berücksichtigende Haushaltsmitglieder beträgt

1,08 · (M – (a + b · M + c · Y) ·Y) Euro.

„M“ ist die gerundete zu berücksichtigende monatliche Miete oder Belastung in Euro. „Y“ ist das gerundete monatliche Gesamteinkommen in Euro. „a“, „b“ und „c“ sind nach der Anzahl der zu berücksichtigenden Haushaltsmitglieder unterschiedene Werte und ergeben sich aus der Anlage 1.

Anlage 1:
Die in die Formel nach § 19 Abs. 1 Satz 1 einzusetzenden, nach der Anzahl der zu berücksichtigenden Haushaltsmitglieder unterschiedenen Werte „a“, „b“ und „c“ sind der nachfolgenden Tabelle zu entnehmen:
z.B. für die Belegung mit einer Person
a 6,300E-2
b 7,963E-4
c 9,102E-5

Und wer sich über die Anmerkungen E-1 bis E-5 wundert:

Hierbei bedeuten:	E-2 geteilt durch	100,
	E-4 geteilt durch	10 000,
	E-5 geteilt durch	100 000,
	E-6 geteilt durch	1 000 000.

So weit so gut!
Meine Berechnung [wenn ich hier richtig mit Klammern und Brüchen arbeiten kann] sieht dann so aus:
1,08 x (305 - (6,3/1.000 + 7,963/10.000 x 305 + 9,192/100.000 x 815) x 815) €

Frage mich, ob die meisten Wohngeldempfänger ihre Rechnungen überprüfen. Habe das mal anhand obiger Rechnung exemplarisch für ein Mitglied durchexerziert. Iudex non calculat!

german newspaper report about computer addiction and present a picture of a young guy in front of his computer monitor.

2009-02-25T22:10:00.002+01:00

das war's dann wohl:

verdammt, wieviel zeit habe ich da verbracht... und auch geld gelassen. zur referendarzeit eigentlich immer mittwochs, meistens auch freitags/samstags. was haben carsten und ich gelacht, als irgendwann der kellner uns freitags mit zwei bereits auf dem tresen stehenden alt begrüsste: ich habe auf euch gewartet. oder uns samstags frug, ob wir noch vom freitag da wären.

natürlich auch die feiern am 23.12. dem ehemaligentreffen der gymnasien, karnevalsfeiern, examensfeiern und was sonst noch alles [irgendwann bin ich sogar zu sylvester dort aufgeschlagen, allerdings erst nach 3 uhr]. eigentlich habe ich immer gestanden, nur gesessen wenn die begleitung dies ausdrücklich wünschte oder es was zu essen gab. verflucht, auch die wärmeren tage draussen vor der tür. man musste die sperrstunde einhalten, aber man kann auch an der türe noch bier bekommen und für stammgäste bleibt der tisch auch gerne mal länger stehen. abgesehen davon konnte man von der türe auch das japanische feuerwerk aus sehen; nachdem alle gäste beim ersten böllerschlag zum rheinufer geeilt waren, war der laden neben der bedienung fast leer.

ich musste auch mittlerweile nicht mehr gefahr laufen, meiner mutter dort über den weg zu laufen. auch wenn sie immer noch gerne erzählt, wie sie mit mir im kinderwagen dort auf nen kaffee eingekehrt ist oder ebenso auch altweiber dort gefeiert hat.

glücklicherweise sind alle bekannten gesichter der kellner auch in anderen berufen ansässig, so dass man sich um die keine gedanken machen muss. was jetzt kommt, wird sich zeigen. lediglich die toiletten sollten "überholt" werden. meinetwegen kann der rest so bleiben, selbst über die musik- und klimanlage klage ich nicht. wehe wenn der tresen umgestaltet wird. und wenn das graffiti auf sperrholz [vorne links neben dem eingang an der wand] weg soll, ich kaufe es gerne ab! verflucht, was haben wir auch schon auf dieser holzbank gestanden und getanzt..... und nicht zu vergessen, 1880 wurde dort mein ruderverein gegründet!

golden memories:

und so oft der weg nach hause:

the carnival song 2009

2009-02-23T19:29:00.001+01:00

2009-02-16T20:01:00.001+01:00

aussie tv throwing their productions away, great! as i listen to the merrick and rosso [and kate ritchie] podcast nearly every day i noticed a damn fine tv-series about aussie crime in the 80ies 'underbelly a tale of the two cities'[correct me if i'm wrong, please bob!] as one of the radio announcers [kate ritchie that is] plays a minor role in it. so once the usual torrent/ rapidshare sites announced the second episode someone posted a link to the original channel nine homepage as it offers the whole first episode in great quality [avi, 1,39gb] for free.

i'm glad i do not have to wait for lame german tv-stations to get hold of this gem.

p.s.: i'm quite bemused as to my opinion the pictures shows the sydney skyline and the series takes place in melbourne [bob, might you help me?]

facebook of any use?

2009-01-15T22:41:00.001+01:00

for the start of 2009 facebook welcomed me with the favorite videos shared through their network. astonishingly no1 was

M.I.A. - paper planes

interesting to me because i allways thought that M.I.A. was more like an underground things. allthough the video was shot in new york the band off course is british. the official version is censored in the US. the original vid has the gunshots.... here's the comment from maya

by the way the song itself is excellent and will appear on the soundtrack of an upcoming major movie release 'slumdog millionaire'. the dfa remix made it to stadium song for the st. louis cardinals..... funny story

the remix by adrock of the beastie boys is sick.

if you like the older releases of M.I.A. like 'jimmy' or 'boy' you should check buraka som sistema

today i went out at 8 am, rainy and cold, to buy some tickets for chirstmas concert of the germand die toten hosen, christmas 2009 by the way.

sale started today at 10 am, only local shops like the counter of the local soccer team [fortuna düsseldorf], a brewery downtown [uerige] and at the soccer game that day. all opened at 10 am, we waited 90min with freezing feet to get the tickets but the job was done.

roumers were spread that the internet ticket sale started at 8 am, which would have meant no waiting in the cold/rain. but what do i see?

never seen before

"...the attacks in mumbai, the former bombay...."

to the german media:

2008-11-27T11:16:00.001+01:00

could someone please notice that it`s MUMBAI instead of Bombay [as the old name of bombay referres to the portugese occupation].

Astonishingly only the public service tv-station use the old name...

after the first circuit-training for the season you have slight muscle ache the next morning. but nothing beats the feeling that you want to sing buju bantons - champion:
walk like a champion, talk like a champion.

only your attitude changes to 'in your face' because you feel invincible.

german newspaper 'die sueddeutsche zeitung' reports about an australian skateboarding tourist who started a skatecamp for children in kabul. it's frequented also by girls, quite uncommon for that regio. now he is looking for gifts.... there are only 9 boards/decks right now.

german skateshop titus supports this great idea for a cupple of months with 'skateistan'

radiorecorder

2008-10-14T15:10:00.004+02:00

jetzt mal auf deutsch, da ja eh nur für die hörer deutscher radiosender.
früher habe ich steve mason auf bfbs [british forces broadcasting service] aus dem radio aufgenommen. seine radioshow mit den neusten schallplatten hat mich dann knapp eine woche lang im walkman begleitet, bis halt zur nächsten sendung.

seit lange hatte ich heute morgen nun wieder ein ähnliches gefühl, nachdem mich ein kollege auf den wdr-radiorecorder aufmerksam gemacht hat.

herrliches teil und legal. der wdr bietet als service für meine gebühren ein programm zum download an, mit dem sich alle radiosendung des wdr bei bestehender internetverbindung auf dem heimischen pc aufzeichnen lassen. inclusive programmplan aller 5 wdr radiokanäle, plus support von itunes zum direkten überspielen auf den ipod.
vermutlich aus rechtlichen gründen darf z.B. domian nicht als podcast angeboten werden. bisher hätte ich den gerne morgens in den bahn gehört, statt dessen merrick and ross [and kate ritchie] aus australien. bis jetzt wie gesagt, denn heute morgen konnte ich dem wunderbaren radio-entertainment mit anrufern in der bahn lauschen!
anderer aspekt ist natürlich, dass der wdr zwar sehr viele 'wortbeiträge' [also reportagen] als podcast anbietet, aber für mich spannende unterhaltung mit musik fehlt [wegen der lizenzen für eben die musik]. also kann ich jetzt, klaus fiehe sonntags komplett aufnehmen und habe meinen ersatz für steve mason....

the pics from down under don't actually were taken in australia. but they we're posted by a blog from victoria, australia ;)

now to something completely different, music!

one of my preffered musical bands is bran van 3000. they only released 2 albums so far, as i know. one of them is known for the 3rd track: drinking in LA.

the second album is even better, the first song nearly covers the whole talent of the musical collaboration: the only clared sample of curtis mayfield [signed while he was in hospital, the last action he actully took, rest in peace. but it's a nice fact about this great musician, curtis]. the song's named 'astouned' and you already might have heard it.

but here's a funny story : in the posts beneath a video of bran von someone writes: "Dude I love them!!! I love this CD found it in my car!"

i really like the idea of discovering this band / music with an unknown cd you find in your car. maybe it's a used car you bought and find this cd..... totally love it.

old music to start the weekend

Bild schreibt:

Gericht stoppt Herzlos-Vermieter, ihm waren die fröhlichen Kinder zu laut

„Juchu, wir dürfen endlich wieder raus auf den Spielplatz – schaukeln, wippen, fröhlich sein“.

Ähem, auf den Spielplatz durften die Kinder immer. Denn es störte einen Nachbarn, dass die Kiddies auf dem vor dem Spielplatz gelegenen Garagenhof spielten, respektive Lärm verursachten. [und nicht den achso herzlosen Vermieter, der auf dem Foto auch noch unkenntlich gemacht wurde, aber dennoch aussieht wie der Franjo Pooth Wuppertals]. Grund für den Streit war, dass die Kinder [egal ob fröhlich oder grob marodierend] den Spielplatz nur über den Garagenhof betreten konnten. Das war einem Nachbarn offensichtlich zu laut, darüber hatte er sich beim Vermieter beschwert [nichts weiteres, dem Nachbarn war auch nicht an einer Kündigung der Eltern gelegen]. Der Vermieter sprach eine Abmahnung aus, wegen der Kinder, welche jetzt unerlaubter Weise auf dem Garagenhof spielten. Bild zeigt aber nur die Kinder auf dem Spielplatz und verschweigt den Garagenhof.

Manch einer mag jetzt denken: und damit beschäftigt sich sogar das Landgericht?

Immerhin haben diese Richter herausgestellt, dass es doch eigentlich egal ist, ob die Kinder auf dem Garagenhof den zu beanstandenden Krach machen oder ob sie auf dem Spielplatz Krach verursachen [was natürlich nicht zu beanstanden ist]. Krach ist in der Nähe eines Spielplatzes halt hinzunehmen.

Ich denke nur: und darüber schreibt die Bild?

Herrgott, wenn ich darüber nachdenke, wie alle anderen „Nachrichten“ in der Bild mit den entsprechenden Hintergrundinformationen zu lesen sind...... ich glaube, mir wird schlecht.

So schrieb im übrigen die Süddeutsche Zeitung darüber.
