Kevin spacey brings online video store Netflix customer rush

The share price shot up by over 23 percent to around 214.50 dollars in new york on tuesday. The service is not yet available in germany.

Netflix had experienced problems with a failed corporate reorganization and TV content licensing in previous quarters. Group CEO reed hastings wanted to spin off the DVD mail order business from online streaming – but customers ran up a storm over an additional fee. All that has now faded into the background. Globally, netflix gained three million online subscribers and now has a total of over 36 million users, including 29.2 million in the U.S.

Pushed away by car

Pushed away by car

As usual, there were vehicles parked in front of the practice that brought or picked up dialysis patients. Because a young man from a rescue service was standing in his way, the 65-year-old driver from kitzingen slightly pushed him twice with the vehicle from behind. The third contact must then have been somewhat more violent: the young man buckled briefly, experienced severe pain in his knee, and was on sick leave for two days and then two weeks. "And now I have water in my knee", the witness reported to the court.

The pensioner, who was traveling with a patient for a private ambulance company, brought neither a criminal record nor points from flensburg to the trial: he had never attracted any unpleasant attention in road traffic. The young man, whom he had almost killed, was from the johannitern and supported at the "time of the crime" just used hand gestures to push a colleague out of a parking space. This must have taken too long for the man from kitzingen with the patient on board.

Does the rain bring blessings?

Felt for several months continuous rain falls in the county. The weather is bad for many people, but it also has a good side. The rain showers over the past six months did their part to raise the groundwater level. Because vegetation takes a break in the winter, water can seep into the ground and form groundwater.

"It’s not too much rain", says leonhard rosentritt, the head of the water management office in bad kissingen. "Especially february and march so far have been good for the groundwater." The precipitation from the previous winter months from november to january had given the soil back its moisture. "The ground was dry down to a depth of two meters – that was a catastrophic drought."

Soli reuth travels to the german championship

Soli reuth travels to the german championship

Since one of the athletes had been injured shortly before, the chances of competing against the best teams from all over germany were not very good. The four-man team got off to a bad start. There was an unfortunate crash in which a second rider was injured so badly that she was only able to finish the program under trances. The result was a place in the middle of the field, which was not enough for a place in the final round of the german championship.
The training supervisors silvia and thomas bittruf had actually already expected a break-off for the reuth athletes. But they did not want to admit defeat so easily. After intensive treatment of the two injured girls, they still competed with the six-person team. The result was the best performance ever by a six-man unicycle team from reuth. With personal best performance and place 9 among all teams the qualification was easily achieved. The task now is to heal the injuries in order to reach the german championship (4. Until 6. May in aalen) to be in top shape again.

Bikers make a pit stop with god in ebern

"I ride a motorcycle all year round. You often get into tricky situations", tells alice wansch, who made her way from losbergsgereuth to ebern for the christian pit stop at the old sports ground. "And it has already become a tradition. You meet nice people here and get to talk to them."

Tradition is perhaps a bit much to say, but nevertheless: this kind of ecumenical service is now taking place in ebern for the ninth time. Motorcyclists from the area meet for a church service in ebern to get a blessing for the upcoming travel season. Even the clergy arrive on two wheels: deacon sven steffan and pastor bernd grosser. In the round are two-wheelers from yamaha, BMW, aprilla and how they all are called, women and men, but also motorhomes. Old and young, mixed.

Mdb zeulner wants to continue to fight for underground cabling at neuensorg

Mdb zeulner wants to continue to fight for underground cabling at neuensorg

"I have said from the beginning that I can only support a solution that we can explain well to the people on the ground. It is therefore only logical that all modified variants of the P44 are off the table. This is very good news for the counties of lichtenfels, bamberg and kulmbach. I have fought for this for a long time and the effort has paid off. I am very pleased that new innovations now make it possible to eliminate the need for the original P44 variant, and I share the joy of the people of coburg", emmi zeulner, member of the bundestag, is pleased . "There have already been initial indications of this in recent days, but the agreement between the federal economics minister altmaier (CDU) and the state economics ministers from bavaria, hesse and thuringia had not yet been officially confirmed by all sides."

"Despite this great success on the one hand, there is still a drop of bitterness on the other: the underground cabling of the eastern bavarian ring road in the neuensorg and schwandorf area is not yet part of the compromise negotiated between the economics ministers", mdb zeulner explains further.

As reported, the committee had rejected a corresponding application at the beginning of march due to a lack of documentation. At the same time, the innkeeper was offered the chance to have the story explained to him at a local meeting and then decide again.
