Extracto: El Cancionero de Palacio (Madrid, Biblioteca Real, MS II - 1335), llamado a veces Cancionero Musical de Palacio (CMP) y también conocido como Cancionero de Barbieri, es un manuscrito español que contiene música del Renacimiento. Las obras que posee están recopiladas durante un periodo de unos cuarenta años, desde el último tercio del siglo XV hasta principios del XVI, tiempo que coincide aproximadamente con el reinado de los Reyes Católicos. Los diez primeros folios están sin numerar y los siguientes lo están del 1 al 304. Contando con las obras que figuran en el índice, el manuscrito comprendía originalmente 548 piezas. Sin embargo varios de los folios se han perdido, por lo que las piezas conservadas son sólo 469. En el manuscrito han intervenido nueve manos diferentes y está compuesto por 11 sucesivas incorporaciones: A finales del siglo XIX, el manuscrito fue redescubierto en la Biblioteca del Palacio Real de Madrid por el compositor y musicólogo Francisco Asenjo Barbieri, que lo transcribió y publicó en 1890 con el nombre de 'Cancionero musical de los siglos XV y XVI'. El manuscrito recopila 458 piezas, la mayor parte de ellas en castellano, aunque también contiene unas pocas en latín, francés, catalán, euskera y portugués. Constituye una antología de la música polifónica existente durante el reinado de los Reyes Católicos. No hay que olvidar que durante esta etapa, la corte era el centro de la actividad musical y en torno a ella, se agrupaban un gran número de músicos y compositores, la mayor parte españoles. Las obras tratan una gran variedad de temas: amorosos, religiosos, festivos, caballerescos, satíricos, pastoriles, burlescos, políticos, históricos, etc. que recogen desde composiciones sencillas de carácter popular hasta obras bastante elaboradas. La forma musical más importante es el villancico, aunque también están presentes otros géneros como el romance y la canción. La mayoría de las obras son para canto a una voz con acompañamiento instrumental o bi 24 pp. Spanisch.

Excerpt: Lyndon Baines Johnson (August 27, 1908 January 22, 1973), often referred to as LBJ, was a US politician who served as the 36th President of the United States (1963-1969) after his service as the 37th Vice President of the United States (1961-1963). He is one of four people who served in all four elected federal offices of the United States: Representative, Senator, Vice President and President. Johnson, a Democrat, served as a United States Representative from Texas, from 1937 1949 and as United States Senator from 1949 1961, including six years as United States Senate Majority Leader, two as Senate Minority Leader and two as Senate Majority Whip. After campaigning unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination in 1960, Johnson was asked by John F. Kennedy to be his running mate for the 1960 presidential election. Johnson succeeded to the presidency following the assassination of John F. Kennedy, completed Kennedy's term and was elected President in his own right, winning by a large margin in the 1964 Presidential election. Johnson was greatly supported by the Democratic Party and, as President, was responsible for designing the 'Great Society' legislation that included laws that upheld civil rights, Public Broadcasting, Medicare, Medicaid, environmental protection, aid to education, and his 'War on Poverty.' He was renowned for his domineering personality and the 'Johnson treatment,' his coercion of powerful politicians in order to advance legislation. Simultaneously, he greatly escalated direct American involvement in the Vietnam War. As the war dragged on, Johnson's popularity as President steadily declined. After the 1966 mid-term Congressional elections, his re-election bid in the 1968 United States presidential election collapsed as a result of turmoil within the Democratic Party related to opposition to the Vietnam War. He withdrew from the race amid growing opposition to his policy on the Vietnam War and a worse-than-expected showing in the New Hampshire pri 30 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: Käthe Schmidt Kollwitz (July 8, 1867 April 22, 1945) was a German painter, printmaker, and sculptor whose work offered an eloquent and often searing account of the human condition in the first half of the 20th century. Her empathy for the less fortunate, expressed most famously through the graphic means of drawing, etching, lithography, and woodcut, embraced the victims of poverty, hunger, and war. Initially her work was grounded in Naturalism, and later took on Expressionistic qualities. Kollwitz was born in Königsberg, Province of Prussia (now Kaliningrad, Russia), the fifth child in her family. Her father, Karl Schmidt, was a radical Social democrat who became a mason and house builder. Her mother, Katherina Schmidt, was the daughter of Julius Rupp, a Lutheran pastor who was expelled from the official State Church and founded an independent congregation. Her education was greatly influenced by her grandfather's lessons in religion and socialism. Recognizing her talent, Kollwitz' father arranged for her to begin lessons in drawing and copying plaster casts when she was twelve. At sixteen she began making drawings of working people, the sailors and peasants she saw in her father's offices. Wishing to continue her studies at a time when no colleges or academies were open to young women, Kollwitz enrolled in an art school for women in Berlin. There she studied with Karl Stauffer-Bern, a friend of the artist Max Klinger. The etchings of Klinger, their technique and social concerns, were an inspiration to Kollwitz. At the age of seventeen, Kollwitz became engaged to Karl Kollwitz, a medical student. In 1888, she went to Munich to study at the Women's Art School, where she realized her strength was not as a painter, but a draftsman. In 1890, she returned to Königsberg, rented her first studio, and continued to draw laborers. In 1891, Kollwitz married Karl, by this time a doctor, who tended to the poor in Berlin, where the couple moved into the large apartment that wou 32 pp. Englisch.

Extracto: Gelsenkirchen es una ciudad situada en el estado alemán de Renania del Norte-Westfalia, y más concretamente en la zona norte de la región del Ruhr. Su población a fecha de 2006 era de 267.000 habitantes. Las primeras informaciones documentadas de Gelsenkirchen datan de 1150, aunque permaneció en el anonimato propio de un pequeño pueblo hasta el siglo XIX, momento en que gracias la Revolución industrial toda la zona experimentó un crecimiento espectacular. En 1840, fecha del comienzo de la extracción de carbón, apenas 6.000 personas residían en Gelsenkirchen; solamente 60 años después, en 1900, la cifra se había multiplicado por 23, alcanzando los 138.000 habitantes. A principios del siglo XX Gelsenkirchen era la ciudad más importante de Europa en lo que a la minería del carbón se refiere. En esa época era conocida como la 'ciudad de los mil fuegos' debido a la gran cantidad de columnas de humo que podían verse sobre ella. En 1928 Gelsenkirchen se fusionó con las ciudades vecinas de Buer y Horst. La conurbación resultante recibió el nombre de Gelsenkirchen-Buer hasta 1930, cuando la denominación fue reducida a Gelsenkirchen. Durante el III Reich Gelsenkirchen siguió siendo un importante centro de producción de carbón y de derivados del petróleo, motivos por los que fue bombardeada por los Aliados en la II Guerra Mundial. Durante dicho conflicto se instaló en ella un campamento para mujeres, subdivisión del campo de concentración de Buchenwald. En el siglo XXI ya no hay minas en Gelsenkirchen y la ciudad busca una nueva imagen representativa después de haberse visto golpeada por una de las mayores tasas de desempleo de toda Alemania. Destacar además que acoge la mayor central eléctrica solar de todo el país. En Gelsenkirchen-Scholven hay una central de carbón que es famosa por contar con las chimeneas más altas de Alemania, alzándose 302 metros del suelo. Aunque la parte de la ciudad conocida como Buer aparece con el nombre de Puira por primera vez en un documento de 34 pp. Spanisch.

Extracto: El Submarino C4 fue un submarino de la Clase C de la Armada Española construido por la SECN en el astillero de Cartagena, que participó en la Guerra civil en el bando republicano y que se hundió en un accidente en el transcurso de unas maniobras, al ser abordado por un destructor. Dos meses después de su entrega a la Armada, el submarino C4 ya realizó sus primeras maniobras navales, donde por primera vez en la historia naval española se utilizó la táctica de ataque 'submarino contra submarino', en las que la nueva Clase C ya demostró una gran superioridad sobre los submarinos Clase B y sobre los Clase A. En el verano de 1935 y en compañía de los otros cinco clase C efectuó un viaje por diferentes puertos españoles, franceses, británicos e italianos en los continentes europeo y africano. Cuando empezó la Guerra Civil se encontraba en el puerto de Cartagena, División a la que pertenecía. Su comandante era el Capitán de Corbeta Ramón de Auberade Leal. El 18 de julio de 1936 zarpó con los submarinos Isaac Peral (C-1), C-3 y C-6, a los que se unió en la mar el B-6, con rumbo al estrecho de Gibraltar y con la misión de interceptar el paso de las tropas sublevadas desde África hacia la Península, situándose escalonadamente frente a las costas andaluzas. Los cinco submarinos iban al mando del Jefe de Flotilla, el Capitán de Fragata Guimerá. El 21 de julio, a primeras horas de la mañana se encontraba el C-4 navegando en superficie a la altura de Málaga. En un momento dado, hallándose en el puente con el Alférez de Navío Lobo, y que el segundo descansaba en su camarote, subió a la torreta el cabo electricista Arregui, lo encañonó y le obligó a bajar al interior, donde quedaron encerrados en sus camarotes. El cabecilla era el auxiliar de radio Rafael Sánchez Mata. Por la mañana el Teniente de Navío Vicente Ramírez Togores, jefe de Órdenes de la Flotilla, que había sido informado de los hechos por el jefe de la flotilla, nombra nuevo comandante al segundo del C-1, Teniente de N 34 pp. Spanisch.

Caragiani, Mocioni family. Excerpt: Kaliopi Bukle (Aromanian: ; Macedonian: , pronounced ; born December 28, 1966 in Kicevo), more simply known as Kaliopi, is a popular Macedonian singer and song-writer. She is one of the most recognisable names on the Balkan music scene. She is known for her strong voice and a signature high-pitched scream. Kaliopi Bukle showed interest in music at a young age and in 1976, she entered in the Macedonian children's festival 'Zlatno Slavejce' with the song 'Tebe majka ceka', previously sung by great Tereza Kesovija and secured first place herself. Kaliopi later toured with the choir of Zapro Zaprov 'Razvigorce' through Czechoslovakia, Slovenia (then within their native Yugoslavia) and Austria between 1978 and 1980. She then joined the class of Marija Nikolovska, where she studied solo singing for a total of four years, to continue her training in the Music Academy in the class of Blagoja Nikolovski in 1984. Kaliopi competed in ranked third in the 1984 Yugoslavian solo singing contest, despite her being the youngest classical music singer at the festival. She then joined a new band named after her and recorded their first two songs by request of the Macedonian Radio, titled 'Tomi' ('Tommy') and 'Nemoj da me budis' (Don't Wake me up'). She participated in the Opatija festival as a member of Kaliopi and won best interpretation for the song Leo , awarded by the journalists of Yugoslavia. The bend published its debut album in 1986 for RTV Ljubljana (radio and TV broadcast) also named after her. That year, the band also participated in the Split Festival in which it was awarded the prize for the best debut performer for their performance of the song Da More Zna (If Sea Knows), which was also proclaimed to be the most listened and played song on the radio during that month. The second album of the band Rodjeni (Relative (coll.)), issued two years later, recorded in Zagreb reached enormous success, especially with the hit-song Bato (Brother).

Extracto: Alejo Carpentier y Valmont (26 de diciembre de 1904 24 de abril de 1980), fue un novelista y narrador cubano que influyó notablemente en la literatura latinoamericana durante su período de auge, el llamado 'boom'. La crítica lo considera uno de los escritores fundamentales del siglo XX en lengua castellana, y uno de los artífices de la renovación literaria latinoamericana, en particular a través de un estilo que incorpora varias dimensiones y aspectos de la imaginación para recrear la realidad, elementos que contribuyeron a su formación y uso de lo 'Real Maravilloso'. También ejerció las profesiones de periodista, durante gran parte de su vida; y musicólogo, con investigaciones musicales y organizaciones de conciertos, entre otras actividades; sin embargo, alcanzó la fama debido a su actividad literaria. Aunque durante mucho tiempo se creyó que había nacido en viña del mar, Chile, el hallazgo póstumo de su partida de nacimiento en brasil prueba que su nacimiento aconteció en Lausanne. Su padre fue Georges Álvarez Carpentier, arquitecto francés; y su madre, Lina Valmont, profesora de idiomas de origen ruso, lo crio en francés, confiriéndole a su infancia un marcado 'mestizaje cultural'. La familia se mudó a La Habana, porque el padre tenía interés por la cultura hispánica y ansias de habitar en un país joven y escapar de la decadencia europea. Así, Carpentier creció en trato cercano con campesinos cubanos blancos y negros, 'hombres mal nutridos, cargados de miseria, mujeres envejecidas prematuramente; niños mal alimentados, cubiertos de enfermedades'. Una realidad que posteriormente plasmaría en sus obras. Su infancia coincidió con los primeros años de la República Independiente, un periodo en cual las escuelas se centraban en el pasado colonial español, debido a la carencia de materiales actualizados: 'De acuerdo con los libros que estaban vigentes y se usaban en la España de finales del siglo XIX'. A la edad de once años se trasladó con sus padres a una finca en 42 pp. Spanisch.

Excerpt: Centrica plc (LSE: CNA) is a large multinational utility company, based in the United Kingdom but also with interests in North America. Centrica is the largest supplier of gas to domestic customers in the UK, and one of the largest suppliers of electricity, operating under the trading names 'Scottish Gas' in Scotland and 'British Gas' in the rest of the UK. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. British Gas plc demerged on 17 February 1997 to form two separate companies: Centrica plc and BG plc. Centrica took over gas sales and gas trading, services and retail businesses, together with the gas production operations in the North and South Morecambe gas fields. BG plc was renamed BG Group plc in December 1999. BG Group plc uses the British Gas name overseas but it is a separate company to Centrica and has no involvement with the British Gas retail brand in the UK In 1998, Centrica s supplier monopoly for gas came to an end. Centrica maintained the British Gas retail brand but is only allowed to use this brand name in the UK. The electricity market also opened up to competition and, through the British Gas brand, the company started supplying its first domestic electricity customers. In late 1998, under CEO Sir Roy Gardner and Finance Director Mark Clare, Centrica attempted to diversify firstly by developing the Goldfish credit card, then in 1999 by acquiring the AA for Pds. 1.1 billion. In 2000 Centrica further diversified with the opportunistic purchase of OneTel in the UK, a residential telecoms operator. Soon afterwards Centrica also bought the Dyno franchise group (best known for its Dyno-Rod drains unblocking service). In September 2008 the Company acquired the Caythorpe gas-producing field near Bridlington to use for storage purposes. It also agreed to buy 20% of British Energy from EDF, financing this with a Pds. 2.2 billion, 3 for 8 rights issue. The rights issue offered shares at 160 pence per share and closed on 12 De 42 pp. Englisch.

The last of these titles, the Empresses of Austria and the associated Empire were both abolished at the end of the First World War in 1918, when German Austria became a republic and the other kingdoms and lands represented in the Imperial Council established their independence or adhesion to other states. The different titles lasted just a little under a millennium, 976 to 1918. Albert III received the Archduchy of Austria, later called Lower Austria. Leopold III received the Duchies of Styria, Carinthia and Carniola, the County of Tyrol and Further Austria. In 1406, the Leopoldinian lines split their territories: The Ernestine line received the Duchies of Styria, Carinthia and Carniola, also called Inner Austria: The Elder Tyrolean Line received Tyrol and soon also Further Austria. These territories were also called Upper Austria: Matthias Corvinus, King of Hungary, claimed the Austrian territories and occupied Austria proper and Styria. Claiming the title 'Duke of Austria', he resided in Vienna from 1485 to his death in 1490. Lower Austria (Austria proper) passed to Ferdinand's 1st son Maximilian: Upper Austria (Tyrol, Further Austria) passed to Emperor Ferdinand's 2nd son Ferdinand: Inner Austria ('Inner-Österreich') (Styria, Carinthia and Carniola) passed to Emperor Ferdinand's 3rd son Charles: The Austrian territories were reunited again by inheritance in 1619 under Ferdinand III, Archduke of Inner Austria, but in 1623 five years into the Thirty Years' War he had so much to do with, Ferdinand divided them yet again, when he made his younger brother Leopold, who had been governor over Upper Austria, Archduke of those territories.

Extracto: Enjoy the Silence es el vigésimo cuarto disco sencillo del grupo inglés de música electrónica Depeche Mode, el segundo desprendido de su álbum Violator, lanzado en 1990. Enjoy the Silence es uno de los más exitosos temas de Depeche Mode y también, junto con Personal Jesus del mismo álbum, uno de los más conocidos. Está considerada como la mejor canción de música electrónica. En 2004 tuvo una nueva mezcla para la colección Remixes 81 04. Enjoy the Silence fue una canción compuesta, grabada y cantada por Martin Gore de manera acústica, sin embargo Alan Wilder encontró potencial en ella, por lo cual realizó una musicalización de base electrónica rítmica más sofisticada. Los otros miembros del grupo estuvieron satisfechos con el resultado; Gore agregó partes de guitarra y por último cedió las vocales a David Gahan, acompañándolo sólo en el estribillo. La versión original de Enjoy the Silence aparece en la edición limitada en 12 pulgadas del sencillo, así como en su reedición del 2004, en ambos casos interpretada por Martin Gore en armonio y voz. Enjoy the Silence se convirtió, después del tratamiento de Wilder, en uno de los más emblemáticos temas de Depeche Mode hasta la fecha. Enjoy the Silence sería uno de los temas más representativos no sólo de aquel período de DM, sino de toda su trayectoria, quizá aún más que Personal Jesus y su diatriba sobre religión, pues no es un canto contestatario ni sugerente sino sólo un himno a la música misma, sentado paradójicamente en una letra dedicada al silencio repitiendo en su coro Todo lo que quiero, Todo lo que necesito, Está aquí en mis manos, Las palabras son tan innecesarias, Ellas sólo pueden hacer daño . La melodía básica de sintetizador creada por Alan Wilder resulta más o menos similar a la de temas algo menos conocidos como el lado B But Not Tonight de 1986 y The Things You Said de 1987, planteando el efecto fantasmal de un sintetizador que simula perfectamente ser un coro femenino, y después se complementa hacia algo 52 pp. Spanisch.

Excerpt: FC Bayern Munich (German: IPA: ), (English: ), is a German sports club based in Munich, Bavaria. It is best known for its professional football team, which is the most successful football club in Germany, having won 22 German titles and 15 cups. The club was founded in 1900 by eleven football players led by Franz John. Although Bayern won its first national championship in 1932, the club was not selected for the Bundesliga at its inception in 1963. In the middle of the 1970s, the club had its period of greatest success, when the famous team led by Franz Beckenbauer won the European Cup three times in a row (1974 76). In recent years they have been by far the most successful team in German football, winning six of the last ten championships. The club's last international title was the Intercontinental Cup in 2001, though they won their fourth European Cup the same year. Since the beginning of the 2005 06 season, Bayern plays its home games in the Allianz Arena. Previously the team had played in Munich's Olympic Stadium for 33 years. The team colours are red and white, and the team crest shows the colours of Bavaria. Bayern is a membership-based club with 162,187 members. There are also 2,764 officially-registered fan clubs with 192,160 members. The club has other departments for chess, handball, basketball, gymnastics, bowling, table tennis, referees, and senior football with more than 1,100 active members. FC Bayern premises FC Bayern Munich was founded by members of a Munich gymnastics club (MTV 1879). When a congregation of members of MTV 1879 decided on 27 February 1900 that the footballers of the club would not be allowed to join the German Football Association (DFB), eleven members of the football division left the congregation and on the same evening founded Fußball-Club Bayern München. Within a few months Bayern achieved high-scoring victories against all local rivals and reached the semifinals of the 1900 01 South German championship. In the following years 76 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: Secretariat (March 30, 1970 October 4, 1989) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse, that in 1973 became the first U.S. Triple Crown champion in twenty-five years, setting new race records in two of the three events in the Series the Kentucky Derby (1:59 2/5), and the Belmont Stakes (2:24) records that still stand today. Secretariat was sired by Bold Ruler out of Somethingroyal, by Princequillo. He was foaled at Meadow Farm in Caroline County, Virginia. Like his famous predecessor Man o' War, Secretariat was a large chestnut colt and was given the same nickname, 'Big Red.' Owned by Penny Chenery (aka Penny Tweedy), he was trained by Lucien Laurin and mainly ridden by fellow Canadian jockey Ron Turcotte, along with apprentice jockey Paul Feliciano (first two races), and veteran Eddie Maple (last race). He raced in Penny Chenery's Meadow Stable's blue and white checkered colors and his groom was Eddie Sweat. Secretariat stood approximately 16.2 hands (66 inches, 168 cm) tall, and weighed 1,175 pounds (533 kg), with a 75 inch girth, in his racing prime. The story of Secretariat began with the toss of a coin in 1968 between Christopher Chenery of Meadow Stables and Ogden Phipps of Wheatley Stable. The idea of a coin toss came from Phipps, the owner of Bold Ruler, and Bull Hancock of Claiborne Farms as a way to get the very best mares for Bold Ruler, and when the toss went their way, to add well-bred fillies to their own broodmare band. Bold Ruler was considered one of the important stallions of his time. He had a fine balance between speed and stamina, having had a frontrunning style but the stamina to go 1 1/4 miles; he finished 3rd in the 1957 Kentucky Derby. After his racing career, Bold Ruler was retired to Claiborne Farms but still was controlled by the Phipps family. This meant he would be bred to mainly Phipps' mares and not many of his offspring would find their way to the auction ring. Phipps and Hancock agreed to forgo a stud fee for Bold Ruler in exchange f 78 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: 'Empire State of Mind' is a song by American rapper and hip hop artist Jay-Z, featuring vocals from R&B and soul singer Alicia Keys. It was released as the third single from Jay-Z's 11th studio album The Blueprint 3 (2009), from his Roc Nation label in October 2009. The song is an anthemic ode to both artists' native New York, and features a music sample of 'Love on a Two-Way Street' (1970) by The Moments. The track was originally written after Brooklyn natives Angela Hunte and Jane't 'Jnay' Sewell-Ulepic were feeling homesick while on an overseas trip in February 2009. The following month they sent the song in for consideration at Roc Nation, but the song received negative reviews. Initially discouraged, the duo sent the song to Jay-Z after being suggested to by an associate of EMI, and after an incident which they described as an omen. After hearing the song, Jay-Z immediately recorded it, having changed all of the verses, but keeping the hook. The track was supposed to feature Hunte on the song's hook, but when Hunte and Sewell-Ulepic were asked if they thought someone else would be more appropriate for the chorus, Hunte suggested Keys. Mary J. Blige was also considered for Keys' part, but Keys was chosen after Jay-Z heard the song's piano loop. The song was viewed as being an 'orchestral rap ballad' and has pop-rap musical styles. It contains references to drugs, locations in New York as well as its famous residents, and describes the city'. 92 pp. Englisch.

Auszug: Portwein, kurz Port genannt, ist ein roter, seltener auch weißer Süßwein, der zu den Klassikern der Weinwelt zählt.Je nach Qualität und Jahrgang wird er nach verschiedenen Verfahren ausgebaut, woraus sich unterschiedliche Reifegrade und Qualitätsstufen ergeben. Vintage Port wird als hochwertigster Portwein angesehen. In einem herausragenden Jahrgang kann er einer der geschmacklich vielfältigsten und langlebigsten Weine der Welt sein. Durch einen langen Ausbau und anschließende Flaschenlagerung entwickelt er eine unverwechselbare Aromatik und Komplexität. Die Herstellung ist kostenintensiv und aufwändig. Echter Portwein stammt gemäß Portweininstitut immer aus Portugal, aus einem genau definierten Herkunftsgebiet im nordportugiesischen Douro-Tal. Namensgebend ist die alte portugiesische Stadt Porto. Ein typischer lohfarbener Tawny Port Alte Transportboote im Douro in Vila Nova de GaiaMit den Römern gewannen der Weinanbau und die Weinherstellung erstmals an Bedeutung in Portugal. Der Weinanbau im Dourotal geht jedoch noch viel weiter zurück. Im 11. Jahrhundert ließ Heinrich von Burgund in einigen Gegenden neue Rebsorten pflanzen. Im 13. Jahrhundert wurden im Dourotal neue Weingärten angelegt und der Vinho de Lamego Vorgänger des Portweins produziert (Lamego ist eine Stadt ca. 8 km vom südl. Douro-Ufer entfernt). 1373 unterzeichneten die Portugiesen mit den Engländern ein Handelsabkommen, das sie berechtigte, für die Lieferungen von Vinho de Lamego Kabeljau vor der britischen Küste zu fischen. 1678 findet man erstmals die Bezeichnung Porto für Weine aus dem Dourotal in alten Zolldokumenten. Aufgrund der steigenden britischen Nachfrage nach Wein sowie der schlechten Beziehungen zu Frankreich suchten englische Kaufleute gegen Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts in Spanien und Portugal nach exportfähigem Wein. Qualität und hygienische Bedingungen waren jedoch schlecht und nur die Mönche waren damals in der Lage, trinkfähigen und lagerbaren Wein herzustellen. In einem der Klö 102 pp. Deutsch.

Auszug: Das Katana ist das japanische Langschwert (Daito). Im heute üblichen Japanischen wird der Begriff auch als allgemeine Bezeichnung für Schwert verwendet. Das Wort Katana ist die Kun-Lesung des Kanji , die On-Lesung lautet to. Es bezeichnet eine bestimmte geschwungene Schwertform mit einfacher Schneide. Die Klingenform ähnelt der eines Säbels, jedoch ist das Griffstück (Angel) - im Japanischen als Nakago bezeichnet - nicht gegen die Klingenseite gebogen, wie so oft beim klassischen Säbel. Der größte Unterschied besteht aber in der Handhabung. Während das Katana sowohl ein- als auch zweihändig geführt wird, typischerweise eher das Letztere, ist der durchschnittliche Säbel als Einhandwaffe konzipiert, was in eine entsprechend andere Fechtweise mündet. Das Katana ging im 15. Jahrhundert aus dem Tachi (langes Schwert) hervor und wurde ab Ende des 14. Jahrhunderts (frühe Muromachi-Zeit) traditionell von japanischen Samurai verwendet, vor allem in Kombination (Daisho , groß-klein) mit dem kurzen Wakizashi (shoto , kleines Schwert). Es besitzt große Ähnlichkeit mit dem früher entstandenen chinesischem Miao Dao. Unverwechselbar macht eine echte japanische Klinge die durch spezielle Schmiede- bzw. Härtetechniken erzeugte Härtezone (Hamon ) und (im Koshirae ) der üblicherweise mit Rochenhaut (samegawa ) überzogene und zumeist kunstvoll mit Seidenband umwickelte Griff (Tsuka ). Es wurden jedoch teilweise auch Griffwicklungen aus Leder verwendet. Geschnitzte Hartholz- oder Elfenbeingriffe gab es nur für Dekorations- oder Präsentationsschwerter. Eine Katana-Klinge besteht in der Regel aus mindestens zwei verschiedenen Stahlsorten, einer duktilen für den Kern und einer harten für die Schneide. Beide Komponenten wurden zunächst einzeln durch mehrfaches Falten und Verschweißen raffiniert , bevor sie zusammen zu einer Klinge ausgeschmiedet wurden. Das Katana im engeren Sinne ist ein zum Rücken hin gebogenes anderthalbhändiges Schwert mit einer Klinge von über zwei Shaku Länge (das si 104 pp. Deutsch.

Auszug: Die Gesellschaft des Spektakels (La société du Spectacle) ist das 1967 erschienene Hauptwerk des französischen Künstlers und Philosophen Guy Debord. Es handelt sich um eine philosophisch an Hegel, Marx und Lukács geschulte radikale Anklage der modernen westlichen und östlichen Industriegesellschaft, des Kapitalismus, der realsozialistischen Bürokratie, der Form der Ware und der modernen damit einhergehenden Regierungstechniken. Das Buch hatte großen Einfluss auf die französische Studentenbewegung des Pariser Mai 1968, erlangte später einen Kultstatus in Kunst und Subkultur, und wird bis heute als medientheoretisches wie politisches Werk an Universitäten gelesen. Im Zentrum von Debords Buch steht das Spektakel, die Organisation, die Gesamtheit und der Zusammenhang aller wirtschaftlichen und der meisten kulturellen oder politischen Prozesse im modernen Industriestaat des späten 20. Jahrhunderts, und das gesellschaftliche Verhältnis zwischen Personen, das hierbei entsteht. Im Spektakel spielt jeder, ob Chef oder Arbeiter, Mann oder Frau, Karrierist oder Rebell, nur seine zugewiesene Rolle. Die Gesellschaft wirkt wie eine seelenlose, perfekt organisierte Maschine, die selbst Opposition nur simuliert, Geschichte und Zeit wirken wie gefroren (Debord). Häufig werden hierfür von Debord auch Metaphern des Schlafes benutzt. Das ganze Leben der Gesellschaften, in welchen die modernen Produktionsbedingungen herrschen, erscheint als eine ungeheure Ansammlung von Spektakeln. Alles, was unmittelbar erlebt wurde, ist in eine Vorstellung entwichen. (S. 13). Die Realität werde unsichtbar hinter einer Scheinwelt aus Werbung, Klischees, Propaganda, die aber wiederum ganz reale Auswirkungen auf das Leben der Menschen hat. Real Erlebtes oder Ersehntes wird zunehmend durch seine Repräsentation, durch sein Surrogat ersetzt Debord nimmt hier auch Ideen der Postmoderne vorweg (das Zeichen bezeichnet nichts mehr, verweist nicht mehr auf etwas Wirkliches, sondern steht für sich selbst, wird 130 pp. Deutsch.

Excerpt: In software engineering, a design pattern is a general reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem in software design. A design pattern is not a finished design that can be transformed directly into code. It is a description or template for how to solve a problem that can be used in many different situations. Object-oriented design patterns typically show relationships and interactions between classes or objects, without specifying the final application classes or objects that are involved. Many patterns imply object-orientation or more generally mutable state, and so may not be as applicable in functional programming languages, in which data is immutable or treated as such. Design patterns reside in the domain of modules and interconnections. At a higher level there are architectural patterns that are larger in scope, usually describing an overall pattern followed by an entire system. There are many types of design patterns, like Patterns originated as an architectural concept by Christopher Alexander (1977/79). In 1987, Kent Beck and Ward Cunningham bega. 146 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: The Office is an American comedy television series broadcast by NBC. An adaptation of the previous BBC series of the same name, it depicts the everyday lives of office employees in the Scranton, Pennsylvania, branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. To simulate the look of an actual documentary, it is filmed in a single-camera setup, without a studio audience or a laugh track. The Office was adapted for American audiences by executive producer Greg Daniels, a veteran writer for Saturday Night Live, King of the Hill, and The Simpsons. The creators of the original BBC series, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, are executive producers and also co-wrote the pilot episode with Daniels and wrote the season three episode, 'The Convict'. It is co-produced by Daniels' Deedle-Dee Productions, and Reveille Productions, in association with Universal Media Studios. The show debuted on NBC as a midseason replacement on March 24, 2005. Off-network syndication of The Office began in early 2008, notably on TBS and Fox-owned stations in the United States. The Office was renewed for a seventh season which premiered on September 23, 2010. Steve Carell confirmed that season seven would be his last season on the show. Despite this, NBC renewed the series for an eighth season on March 17, 2011. NBC programmer Kevin Reilly originally suggested Paul Giamatti to producer Ben Silverman for the role of Michael Scott, but the actor declined. Martin Short, Hank Azaria and Bob Odenkirk were also reported to be interested. In January 2004, Variety reported Steve Carell, of the popular Comedy Central program The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, was in talks to play the role. At the time, he was already committed to another NBC mid-season replacement comedy, Come to Papa, but the series was quickly canceled, leaving him fully committed to The Office. Carell later stated he had only seen about half of the original pilot episode of the British series before he auditioned. He did not continue 154 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: Sicily (Italian and Sicilian: Sicilia, ) is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, comprising an autonomous region of Italy. Minor islands around it, such as the Aegadian Islands, Aeolian Islands, Pantelleria, Lampedusa are part of Sicily. Its official name is Regione Autonoma Siciliana (English: Sicilian Autonomous Region). Sicily, like all regions of Italy when viewed separately, has its own rich and unique culture, especially with regard to the arts, music, literature, cuisine, architecture and language. The Sicilian economy is well diversified. The agriculture sector is significant with citrus fruits (mainly oranges and lemons), olives and olive oil, grapes and wine. Tourism and real estate are also important sectors for the island (¿Economic sectors). Sicily also holds importance for archeological and ancient sites such as the Necropolis of Pantalica, the Valley of the Temples and Selinunte. The archaeological site of Selinunte contains five temples centered on an acropolis. There are continuous excavations that occur in Sicily due to its extensive history. Topography of Sicily Mount Etna, the largest active volcano in Europe. It is located in the Province of Catania. View of the town of Vizzini, on the slopes of Monte Lauro in the Hyblaean MountainsSicily has been known since ancient times for its roughly triangular shape, which earned it the name Trinacria. It is separated to the east from the Italian region of Calabria through the Strait of Messina. The distance between the island and mainland Italy by the Strait of Messina is about 2 miles wide in the north, and about 10 miles in the south of the Strait. The island is characterized by a densely mountainous landscape. The main mountain ranges are Madonie and Nebrodi in the north and Peloritani in the north-east, whereas the south-eastern Hyblaean are considered geologically as a continuation of the Italian Appennines.
