sooo ich habe letztens festgestellt, dass ich alle Polizeiruf 110 Folgen seit 2020 geschaut habe und wenn ich die von Meuffels Folgen gucke, dann hab ich alle seit 2014 geschaut. Und die gibs bei Amazon also hab ich sie gesehen.
und bin jetzt fertig aber es gibt die letzten 3 Folge nicht und in der Mediathek sind die auch nicht (mehr). also hab ich nich komplett alle folge seit 2014 gesehen. aber da mir auch noch eine Magdeburg Folge fehlt is das halt so (hey ard ich hätte hier wünsche für Wiederholungen)
ich könnte jetzt einfach weiter Rückwärts gehen und kp alle Krause Folgen gucken, weil ich ja die mit ihm und Olga gesehen habe und das dann vollständig wäre
ABER Amazon hat einfach die ersten 12 Jahre von Polizeiruf 110 im Angebot. das heißt ich werde jetzt einfach von ganz von vorne anfangen.
und ihr müsst damit klarkommen weil ichs nich komplett allein gucken will.
Mal sehen wie lange das dauert und wie oft ich ganz lange pause machen muss weil alles anstrengend is^^

Vera Bock
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Vera Bock (1904-1973) was a painter, designer, and illustrator best known for her WPA poster design and book illustration. Bock was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, to an American businessman and a Russian concert pianist. The family escaped in 1917 during the height of the Russian revolution by way of Siberia, China, Japan, and then finally settling in San Francisco, CA. She returned to Europe as a young adult, including a year's stay in England to study printing, photoengraving, manuscript illuminating, and wood engraving. In 1922, she returned to New York to begin her illustration career. She employed a variety of mediums and materials for her illustration, including relief printing to pen-and-ink drawing to wet-and-dry mixed media painting. She illustrated over 50 books, ranging from children's picture books to an illustrated version of the Koran (pictured at the top). She flourished during the 1930s as part of the WPA poster art program, free to experiment with shapes, simplified forms, repetition and integration of type and image. She also elevated the possibilities of the paperback novel cover, which was looked down upon as cheap or the realm of the "pulp" - hastily printed, often low-quality. Her illustrations for the mail-order American Crime Club mysteries are evocative, mysterious and expressive. Her decorative, graphic style unifies with narrative and her own cosmopolitan spirit.

Author has written 17 stories for Hetalia - Axis Powers.
Tumblr media
If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light. If I lose paper and ink, I will write in blood on forgotten walls. I will write always. I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you. – Henry Rollins
Hi! I’m George. One day, I will be a professor of history, who wears tweed suits and lives in a library. Right now, I am a graduate student, who wears jeans and t-shirts and… um… lives in a library.
Reviews and PMs.
I don’t demand or even expect reviews. They do, however, make me happy. So if you are kind enough to leave one after reading, please know that even though I may not reply, I read every single one, and I am incredibly grateful - your few words of praise have brightened a moment of my day. :-)
If you send me a Private Message and don’t receive a response immediately, please know that I am not deliberately ignoring you. I find it a little difficult to keep up with replying to PMs; if I haven’t responded to your message in at least three months, it’s usually because I’ve, er, lost it. Feel free to send me another one calling me a giant prat and demanding a response.
Fanart and Translations.
I am perfectly okay (quite ecstatically happy, actually) with people doing whatever they like with my fics – whether that be translations, fanart, cosplay, AMVs, whatever. You do not need to ask permission - I will always say yes. All I ask is three things. One: please credit me as the author (and a link to the original story would be fantastic). Two: please let me know so that I can check it out and thank you profusely! And three: something I hate to have to mention, but please never do anything to make money out of these works. Obviously, Hetalia does not belong to me – it belongs to the amazing Hidekaz Himaruya, who is incredibly awesome for giving us such fantastic characters to play with. :-D
MY STORIES
THE VERAVERSE
The Veraverse is a Hetalia World War Two AU, of fics involving different characters and pairings, all living within the same time period and all interconnected in some way. As each story in the series is named after and loosely based on the lyrics of a wartime song sung by Vera Lynn, I flippantly dubbed it the ‘Veraverse.’ The name has sort of stuck, however. I have posted a list of character's birth dates here: http://george-de-valier.deviantart.com/art/Hetalia-Veraverse-Birth-Dates-340315828
This series is, at its core, about the power of love over war. It's about the real reasons people fight, and the real reasons they survive. It's about finding something beautiful in the midst of something ugly and evil. But overall, although I hope there is more to these stories than just romance, they are essentially about love.
Don’t expect every fic to be updated quickly. These stories intertwine, and will be published simultaneously, and it may be a while between chapters for each specific story. Most can be read separately, however a few will require that you read at least one other story in the series to make sense of it (e.g. ‘My Echo’ does not make much sense unless you also read ‘Lily of the Lamplight.’) Rest assured, they will all be completed.
We'll Meet Again Alfred Jones/Arthur Kirkland (America/England)
Complete - Thirteen Chapters
‘We’ll Meet Again’ is about love arriving when you least expect it, and how it can transform loneliness.
Keep Smiling Through Alfred Jones/Arthur Kirkland (America/England)
Complete – One Shot
Just a little mini-sequel to ‘We’ll Meet Again’ about a brief moment in Alfred and Arthur’s lives.
Auf Wiedersehen, Sweetheart Ludwig Beilschmidt/Feliciano Vargas (Germany/Italy)
Complete - Eighteen chapters
‘Auf Wiedersehen, Sweetheart’ is about love being blind, proving stronger than hate, and lasting longer than war.
Bésame Mucho Antonio Fernandez Carriedo/Lovino Vargas (Spain/Romano)
In Progress – Fourteen chapters
‘Bésame Mucho’ is essentially about love overcoming fear.
Lily of the Lamplight Gilbert Beilschmidt/Roderich Edelstein (Prussia/Austria)
In Progress – Eighteen Chapters
‘Lily of the Lamplight’ is about selflessness, survival, and how love can change you for the better.
My Echo Unrequited Vash Zwingli/Roderich Edelstein (Switzerland/Austria)
In Progress – Six Chapters
‘My Echo’ is about how true love is selfless – even if it is unreturned.
Jealousy Ivan Braginski/Yao Wang (Russia/China)
In Progress – Six Chapters
‘Jealousy’ is a little different to the other stories in this series. It is about control, madness, and how love has the power to destroy as well as to save.
Something to Remember You By Sadik Adnan/Gupta Muhammad Hassan (Turkey/Egypt)
In Progress – Three Chapters
‘Something to Remember You By’ is about losing love, and yourself with it.
UPCOMING VERAVERSE FICS
Somewhere in France With You Francis Bonnefoy/Matthew Williams (France/Canada)
Darling, where better to meet again than the most beautiful city in the world?
It's a Lovely Day Tomorrow
Toris Laurinaitis/Feliks Łukasiewicz (Lithuania/Poland)
Art. Music. Passion. Destruction. Young, wild love, in the streets of Berlin, on the eve of war.
When I Grow Too Old to Dream Berwald Oxenstierna/Tino Väinämöinen (Sweden/Finland)
“What would you do if I just… took this tree? Claimed it for Finland?”
“I’d let ye take it.”
“This lake?”
“Ye can have it.”
“This entire forest?”
“’t’s yours.”
“Would you let me take your whole country, Berwald?”
“Yes. And you? What’f I just… took this rock?”
“You can’t have that rock. That’s a Finnish rock.”
You’ll Never Know
Elizaveta Héderváry/ Lili Zwingli (Hungary/Liechtenstein)
“But who knows? Maybe you'll meet a charming little Swiss girl with plaits and a basket who likes to yodel on mountaintops."
Elizaveta always hated it when Gilbert was right.
When the Lights go on Again
Eduard Von Bock/Raivis Galante (Estonia/Latvia)
"I will stay with him through this darkness. I will give my soul to keep it from him. And I swear, whatever I must do, that Raivis Galante will live to see the lights go on again.”
Room Five-Hundred-and-Four
Herakles Karpusi/Kiku Honda (Greece/Japan)
“Life's most important conversations take place in bars. Perhaps in places not too dissimilar from this - perhaps between people not so different from ourselves. Bars, after all, are where people meet, and where they rejoice; where they forget, and where they say goodbye. They are the crossroads of life."
"You sound like a philosopher. Though your name suggests a hero."
Faraway Places
Bad Friends Trio (France, Prussia, and Spain)
“Ah, those were the days, huh, Gil? Remember the time you tried to take on the entire Parisian police force?”
“Or the time you knocked yourself out running from that bull in Pamplona?”
“Or that time Francis tried to seduce your grandfather?!”
“Francis what?”
“Oh, look at that, I’ve finished my drink.”
Autumn Leaves
Augustus Roma Vargas (Ancient Rome)
But I miss you most of all, my darling, when autumn leaves start to fall.
OTHER FICS
THE MAPLEVERSE
This is a currently small modern AU, set in modern day Canada.
La Patisserie de la Rose Francis Bonnefoy/Matthew Williams (France/Canada)
Complete – Six Chapters
A birthday present for Claudia, aka ThisCouldTheoreticallyBeSparta
An essentially fluffy Franada with lots of cameos and cake and general silliness. I like to think this story is about friendship as much as it is about love. It's also about seeing something in someone that no one else can - not even themselves.
Libelle Hall Gilbert Beilschmidt/Roderich Edelstein (Prussia/Austria)
In Progress – Three Chapters
A Gift for Kay, aka Kay the Beta
‘Libelle Hall’ is about change, and about love growing from self-realisation. It’s also an examination of Gilbert and Roderich’s characters, and how they aren’t that different from each other, after all. And it’s a gift for my beta Kay, because she loves PruAus, and she’s awesome.
Of Ponies and Edelweiss Gilbert Beilschmidt/Roderich Edelstein (Prussia/Austria)
Complete – One Shot
A Valentines’ Day present for Claudia
Just a fluffy, romantic little fic for Valentines’ Day. Well, as romantic as Gilbert gets, anyway.
ONGOING MULTI-CHAPTERS
Catch Perfect Berwald Oxenstierna/Tino Väinämöinen (Sweden/Finland)
In Progress – Twelve Chapters
‘Catch Perfect’ is basically proof that I can’t even write crack without some semblance of plot and angst. I am still writing this, just ever so slowly.
The Tiger and the Dragon Ivan Braginski/Yao Wang (Russia/China)
In Progress – Seventeen Chapters
I first posted this story almost three years ago. Last year I started re-publishing it, mainly to fix up the writing quality and some plot points. Yes, it’s melodramatic; yes, it’s a bit cliché. Basically, if this were a published novel, it would be the type to have GAY EROTIC ROMANCE in tacky writing across the cover. But really, what the hell, it’s fun. :-D
COMPLETED ONE SHOTS
Stay With You Germany/Italy
A rare story with the characters as nations, and my very first posted fanfiction. I had just discovered Hetalia when I wrote this, and loved the random humour of it, but also wondered what it could be like if it was a more serious take on the Second World War. Also, it has always been blatantly obvious to me that Germany and Italy are in love with each other. Like, duh.
Gallipoli Australia and New Zealand
Another nation story from me, about a conflict embedded in the consciousness of every Australian. We haven’t been given much to go on with Australia’s characterisation, so I went with my gut instinct – he’s anti-authority, he’s an easily broken optimist, and he cares deeply about his men. Gallipoli shattered the romantic idea of war for this country. I think it would have shattered Australia, too.
Sleep, Little Bird Berwald Oxenstierna/Tino Väinämöinen (Sweden/Finland) and Peter (Sealand)
There is not much I can really say about this one, except sorry. Oh, and that it’s not in the same universe as ‘Catch Perfect.’ I wouldn’t do that. ;-)

Dù bạn có đang làm trái ngành, không có nghĩa bao nhiêu năm học là uổng phí
Theo thống kê của bộ lao động xã hội, 60% sinh viên hiện nay ra trường có việc làm trái ngành. Nhưng con số này có thực sự tệ như chúng ta nghĩ?
1. Những tên tuổi lớn học trái ngành
Nhà thiết kế Vera Wang
Vera Wang, một trong những nhà thiết kế thời trang nổi tiếng nhất thế giới, từng mơ ước trở thành vận động viên trượt băng. Năm 1968, Wang tham gia giải trượt băng nghệ thuật Mỹ, cố gắng để vào đội tuyển Olympic. Sau khi bị loại, Wang mới bắt đầu chuyển sang thời trang, ban đầu là vị trí biên tập viên ở tạp chí Vogue, sau đó trở thành giám đốc tại Ralph Lauren.
Cuối cùng, ở tuổi 40, Wang thực sự từ bỏ nghề nghiệp trước đây để theo đuổi thiết kế. Những bộ váy cưới gắn mác Vera Wang trở thành trang phục không thể thiếu của những người nổi tiếng, trong đó có Victoria Beckham, Chelsea Clinton, Kim Kardashian và Ivanka Trump. Hiện đế chế thời trang của Vera Wang trị giá lên đến 400 triệu đôla.
Kinh nghiệm trượt băng có giúp Vera Wang phát triển sự nghiệp thời trang hay không? Bản thân bà nghĩ là có. "Khi bạn thất bại, nghĩa là bạn muốn học để trở thành một vận động viên chuyên nghiệp nhưng bất thành, bạn có quyền lựa chọn và bắt đầu lại một lần nữa. Đừng để điều gì ngăn cản", bà nói với Business of Fashion năm 2013.
Cựu Bộ trưởng tài chính Mỹ Hank Paulson
Trước khi làm Bộ trưởng Tài chính Mỹ dưới thời Tổng thống George W. Bush năm 2006, Hank Paulson là CEO của tập đoàn ngân hàng tài chính nổi tiếng Goldman Sachs. Ít ai biết rằng trước khi lấy bằng MBA t���i Đại học Harvard, chuyên ngành của ông tại Đại học Dartmouth năm 1968 là tiếng Anh và là thành viên của Phi Beta Kappa – một hội danh tiếng dành cho các sinh viên xuất sắc ngành nhân văn học.
2. Làm trái ngành lại dễ thành công - kinh nghiệm thực tế của lãnh đạo Google đang áp dụng. Làm trái ngành - cách Google vận hành
Để thành công trong kỷ nguyên công nghệ và Internet, một công ty phải hấp dẫn được các nhân viên "sáng tạo thông minh" (Smart Creative) và tạo ra một môi trường thuận lợi để họ phát triển.
Đó là quan điểm mà Eric Schmidt và Jonathan Rosenberg đưa ra trong cuốn sách "How Google Works". Trong cuốn sách này, Chủ tịch điều hành Google Schmidt và Phó chủ tịch Rosenberg đã chỉ ra những gì họ học được trong quá trình xây dựng Google trở thành người khổng lồ trị giá hàng trăm tỉ đô la.
Jonathan Rosenberg cho rằng: "Điều cần quan tâm là bạn đang sống trong một thế giới năng động, với điều kiện và môi trường thay đổi nhanh tới mức chóng mặt. Những thứ như kinh nghiệm hay cách thức chúng ta làm việc sẽ không quan trọng bằng khả năng tư duy. Trên thực tế, chính kinh nghiệm và kiến thức cũ khiến chúng ta không muốn thử các giải pháp mới".
Câu chuyện của Laszlo Bock, Phó Chủ tịch Google trong cuốn sách cũng tương tự: “Khi hai người cùng gặp phải một vấn đề, người là chuyên gia sẽ cho rằng: Tôi đã gặp chuyện này hàng trăm lần rồi, và đây là cách giải quyết... Trong khi đó, người không phải là chuyên gia sẽ đưa ra giải pháp gần giống như vậy, vì thực ra phần lớn vấn đề trong kinh doanh thường không quá khó,đôi khi họ sẽ đưa ra những giải pháp hoàn toàn mới.”
3. Biến trái thành phải, “lật ngược thế cờ”
Không thể phủ nhận một điều làm trái ngành thì thiếu hụt kiến thức chuyên môn là điều khó tránh. Để có thể phát triển sự nghiệp ở ngành nghề này thì tất yếu bạn phải tự học hỏi, bồi đắp kiến thức chuyên ngành. Nếu những người khác nỗ lực một bạn phải nỗ lực mười. Cái này không ai có thể giúp bạn được. Nhưng hãy nhìn xem bạn hơn người khác ở điểm gì?
Đó là chính kiến thức, kĩ năng bạn được học ở ngành học của mình. Mọi lĩnh vực đều có sự giao thoa lẫn nhau. Nếu bạn nói mình học y khoa mà không áp dụng được gì vào nghệ thuật thì thật sai lầm.
Bạn có biết? Vũ Cát Tường trước khi là Á quân The Voice, là ca sĩ nhạc sĩ với nhiều bản hit được giới chuyên môn đánh giá là cân bằng giữ học thuật và âm nhạc đại chúng. Khi phỏng vấn, Vũ Cát Tường chia sẻ lý do cô làm được như vậy nhờ việc phân tích và học hỏi ở âm nhạc quốc tế. Khả năng phân tích âm nhạc của Tường không tới từ trường lớp bài vở chuyên nghiệp, bởi cô chỉ theo học một khóa 6 tháng về viết nhạc sau khi kết thúc The Voice. Mà đến từ chính kĩ năng phân tích y khoa. Sự phân cắt, quan sát tỉ mỉ đã trở thành bản năng. Tường đã đem kĩ thuật cứu chữa sức khỏe để cứu chữa tâm hồn.
Tất cả kiến thức từ các ngành nghề đều có sự liên quan nhất định tới nhau. Nếu bạn học ngành tâm lý học, đừng ngại tìm việc làm ngành kinh doanh hay marketing. Nếu bạn học Kế Toán, đừng ngại tìm việc ngành Tài chính ngân hàng. Nếu bạn học khoa sư phạm, hãy thử sức với các vị trí đòi hỏi khả năng đối ngoại. Nếu bạn học ngành quản trị kinh doanh, bạn làm cái gì liên quan đến kinh tế chả được. Hãy cứ mạnh dạn tìm cho mình một việc làm mà mình thấy yêu thích thôi.

Polizeiruf 110 - Das Haus an der Bahn
ich glaube sie sollte nicht allein nach Hause gehen
schön im regen fahrradfahren hätt ich ja richtig bock drauf
dieser Rolle is schon dezent unsympatisch. "die Tasche geb ich dir nur wieder wenn du dich von mir nach Hause fahren lässt" schonmal big yikes. und dann noch irgendwolangfahren außer da wo der Weg is. richtig cooler dude :))))
nein akzeptiert er auch nich.. ja läuft gut hier
ja toll
wo kommt jetzt der schnee her?
je nachdem was in den 2 Folgen passiert ist, die man nich gucken kann, ist das jetzt die erste Folge mit nem Todesopfer.
und natürlich is es eine Frau das wär ja sonst langweilig. wo kämen wir denn hin wenn das anders wäre. Gut das ist jetzt die erste Folge hier also verzeih ich denen das mal aber generell stresst es ja schon
zumal es wahrscheinlich nicht dieser Rolle war, das wäre zu offensichtlich bzw wenn dann nicht offensichtlich genug -.-
der hat 6 bier getrunken? dafür wirkte er aber schon recht nüchtern. aber wtf als ob er dann noch motorrad fahren konnte
ne kreidetafel als mordbrett ergibt sinn hat mich grad trotzdem überrascht
renn doch nich auf den zug zu???
als ob der zug so schnell bremsen konnte
mal abgesehen davon, dass es viel logischer wäre das auto anzuhalten. like das hat er ja auch versucht und die haben sich gedacht jo lass mal das gewinke hier ignorieren. aber halt doch das auto an anstatt nen zug mein freund
hä? was war das jetzt für ne aussage von ihm? hat er sie jetzt umgebracht oder nich? wenn nein wieso hat er das gesagt? wenn ja, wer oder was ist sasse und wieso hat er nur erzählt was vor drei wochen war. ich bin verwirrt es ergibt keinen sinn
oh wow leutnant vera arndt hat eine Waffe. das is definitv das erste mal, dass eine Waffe gezeigt wird. faszinierend
okay aber wenn das jetzt der andere typ war, wieso hat der herr schramm gesagt er hat sie umgebracht? fühlt er sich einfach schuldig, weil er das ignoriert hat, als sie ihm vor drei wochen von dem diebstahl krams erzählt hat?

DIÁRIO DA PANDEMIA A 2 ABRIL -ANTES DA 2a FASE DO DESCONFINAMENTO TEMOS UM RT DE 0,97 , O JÚBILO POR A DONA DA CASA TER SIDO VACINADA , IDA ÀS COMPRAS COM O IRMÃO MIGUEL AO CORTE INGLÊS , E “DIE WALKURE “ DO FESTIVAL DA PÁSCOA DE SALZBURGO 2017 : na sexta feira santa Portugal registou mais 548 casos e 9 mortes..Tanto o índice de transmissibilidade RT (0,97) quanto a incidência aumentaram nas últimas 24 horas. Estão 513 pessoas internadas . Dessas, 131 estão internadas em unidades de cuidados intensivos. Com grande júbilo foi também ontem o dia em que a Maria Zaza foi vacinada com a primeira dose da vacina Pfizer . Levei-a ao Centro de Vacinação do Polo 3 do Estádio Universitário dez minutos antes da hora marcada 15.20 e fui buscá-la as 16.07 ! Considerou a organização excelente .Outro episódio feliz foi ter estado com o meu irmão Miguel durante uma ida a compras ao Corte Inglês .Embora não passe um dia sem telefonema há muito que não nos víamos ...Gostamos muito e partilhei com ele as minhas escolhas mais interessantes . Entretanto pela situação da pandemia na Áustria o Festival da Páscoa de Salzburgo foi adiado para 29 de outubro de 2021. Desejando uma Feliz Páscoa aos seus espectadores a Direcção disponibilizou o vídeo da produção de - Die WALKURE do Festival de 2017 dirigida por Christian Thielemann encenada por Vera Nemirova com os cantores Peter Seiffert, Georg Zeppenfeld, Vitalij Kowaljow, Anja Harteros, Anja Kampe, Christa Mayer, Johanna Winkel, Brit-Tone Müllertz, Christina Bock, Katharina Magiera, Alexandra Petersamer, Stepanka Pucalkova, Katrone .Se parecia uma ideia interessante celebrar o 50º aniversário do Festival de Páscoa de Salzburgo reconstruindo os cenários originais criados para a primeira produção de Die Walküre, supervisionada por Herbert von Karajan na realidade eles serviram como nada mais do que uma plataforma para uma produção estagnada, desprovida de novas idéias. No entanto, algumas prestações vocais e o ímpeto do trabalho da Orquestra si garantiram que a produção não fosse uma perda total.A reconstrução dos cenários de Günther Schneider-Siemssen é o mais longe que a produção vai em termos de recriação da produção original de 1967. São suficientemente estilizados para ainda funcionarem com efeitocomo o desenho central de uma plataforma circular, não muito diferente da produção de Pierre Audi para a DNO. O desenho dos cenários provou ser relativamente flexível para reconfiguração e actualização com com efeitos luminosos dramáticos .Há um elemento que certamente não será antiquado na produção é Christian Thielemann conduzindo a orquestra Staatskapelle Dresden. E olhando o elenco o elenco, há também uma formação sólida.A maioria das prestações foram capazes, mas com algumas exceções não conseguiam realmente acrecentar nada a uma encenação tradicional e um tanto monótona. É claro que Georg Zeppenfeld sempre será uma dessas excepções e seu Hunding estava impecável, . Peter Seiffert tem o tom ideal para Siegmund, mas parece cansado no final do Ato II. O Wotan de Vitalij Kowaljow e o Fricka de Christa Mayer estiveram bem .Anja Harteros lidou com empenho a sua estreia como Sieglinde,. O seu compromisso não pode ser criticado e fui conquistado por seu desempenho no final do Ato II. Se nada mais, ela trouxe um pouco de vida a uma produção que na maior parte parece um tanto estática e rotineira.
