Ex-"Spiegel"-Chef Aust klagt RAF-Ermittler und Medien
Der ehemalige "Spiegel"-Chefredakteur Stefan Aust geht juristisch gegen den früheren RAF-Ermittler Klaus Pflieger sowie die "Stuttgarter Zeitung" und den Südwestrundfunk (SWR) vor. Der 62-jährige Journalist und Autor hat dem Stuttgarter Generalstaatsanwalt Pflieger per Gericht die Behauptung untersagen lassen, Aust habe in früheren Büchern und "Spiegel"-Artikeln die Vermutung geäußert, die Stammheimer RAF-Häftlinge seien "von staatlicher Seite ermordet worden". Pflieger sagte am Freitag der Deutschen Presse-Agentur dpa in Stuttgart, er habe eine einstweilige Verfügung erhalten, wonach er seine Aussagen nicht wiederholen darf. "Ich werde mich natürlich dagegen wehren."

20 Jahre STANDARD - Adam und Eva lesen den STANDARD ...
Der international renommierte österreichische Maler Christian Ludwig Attersee macht jedes Titelblatt der Jubiläumsausgabe zu einem Unikat
Ja, kann schon sein, dass man ihm seine künstlerischen Grenzüberschreitungen mitunter vorhält. Es ist nämlich so, sagt Christian Ludwig Attersee: "Ich muss doppelt so viel arbeiten, weil ich doppelt so viel geschimpft werde, eben weil ich derart viel mache." Mehr als 8500 Bilder hat er gemalt, mit wilden Pinselstrichen und wohlüberlegten Hieben die Leinwand, meist auch den Rahmen zugedeckt und diese erotisch-opulenten Farbräusche (fast) in aller Welt in Galerien und Museen, auf der Biennale von Venedig und auf der "documenta VI" in Kassel ausgestellt.

All-in-one shisha maintenance kit
The Shishavac is an all-in-one narghile maintenance kit that would look absurdly out of place in most Middle Eastern cafes, but for home shisha enthusiasts, this espresso-machine-like device features an elegant brazier that uniformly lights the smoldering coals (promising perfectly heated coals within seconds) and easily clean the narghile hose... certainly the most nightmarish aspect of home shisha maintenance.

Da Vinci sketch inspires world’s smallest one-man helicopter
Weighing in at just 75 kgs, the GEN H-4 is indeed the world’s smallest one-man helicopter. But, that’s not the most amazing thing about it. What’s really interesting about this flying machine is that it’s actually inspired by the sketch of a vertical flying machine created by Leo Da Vinci in 1493 which was discovered in the 19th century.
