The intensive search is called off after hours. The rescuers have no more hope. In Hamburg-Blankenese, a ten-year-old girl sank in the Elbe in front of her parents this afternoon. Rescue workers searched for the child for hours with a large contingent, not wanting to give up hope. "This is a particularly terrible operation for us," said a fire department spokesperson. The parents were looked after by the emergency pastoral care team. At around 8.50 p.m., the helpers called off the search. According to the spokesperson, the search will not be continued on Friday. It had to be assumed that the child had drowned, he said. "We are all very touched."

Lühmanns Teestube is a cosy place to take a short holiday in the Cotswolds atmosphere. You feel transported back to England at the beginning of the 20th century. Every piece of furniture, every picture on the walls is unique. Above this concept, the matching slogan is emblazoned on a sign at the cake counter: "When too perfect, lieber Gott böse (angry) ". This has a relaxing effect; as a guest, you can feel instantly and wholly at ease in this perfect-imperfect fluidity. Maude Barg's credo for the traditional café: "Lühmanns is an institution that doesn't need to be reinvented". We think that's a good decision. During this time, she enjoyed frequent visits to Lühman's tea room. She was immediately interested when she learned that a successor was being sought for the parlour. After years of working as an architect, she spent more time in front of a computer screen than she would have liked. She missed the people, the togetherness. Almost all the dishes on offer are vegetarian or vegan. This was the far-sighted attitude of the Lühmann couple, and it is also the attitude of Maude Barg. In addition, the products are preferably of organic quality and homemade, such as the jams or the house dressing for the salad. During our visit, we enjoy a spicy chai with oat milk, a fragrant porridge and a French breakfast. And of course a warm fluffy scone cheddar with apples, cinnamon and some homemade strawberry jam. Yummy. Finally, a decidedly balanced-tasting cappuccino. Maud Barg gets the coffee from Mare Kaffee. Coffee that, in addition to its quality, is characterised by direct trade with Kenyan coffee farmers and the promotion of the local infrastructure. We are glad to have spent our morning at Lühmanns and leave the tea room of our trust relaxed and well-fed. See you soon in Blankenese.

over noise complaints David Beckham’s 50th birthday bash 'shut down' over noise complaints Aryeh-Alfred Meir-Mayer was born in 1927 in Ratibor Upper Silesia in eastern Germany (today Racibórz to parents Walter-Shlomo and Herta née Frankel as well as Jewish homes and most of their shops Jewish men from Ratibor were seized for forced labor Walter looked for work in his field as an engineer He found a job at a factory working for the German war effort Herta and the children stayed in Ratibor requesting permission to bring Herta and the children to Berlin and the Gestapo approved his application in June 1942 This approval came at the very last minute: in July We didn't have an apartment for the first three months They were not renting apartments to Jews anymore We lived in dire conditions – a tiny box room that other Jews let us use We were four people with two beds… Of course who were liable to come at any time of the day or night to take us away I walked around wearing the Yellow Star… We weren't allowed to use public transport… food was scarce… we were very undernourished Walter succeeded in getting Herta a job at the factory where he worked he managed to rent two rooms in the home of a Jewish widow and the family's living conditions improved but they still lived in the shadow of the constant deportations of Berlin's Jews to the East After a Jewish family in their building was taken away by the Gestapo Walter decided that they had to go underground and hide and were terrified every time they heard footsteps in the stairwell Walter found a German couple who agreed to hide the two children in return for payment their parents came to the hiding place distraught and told them that there had been a raid on the factory where they worked and all Jews still working there were caught Walter and Herta stayed with their children for a few days the owner didn't allow Walter to enter the cellar Walter and Aryeh managed to reach the apartment where they had lived earlier we took everything we could carry," recalls Aryeh After being out of work for about 2 months Walter realized he wouldn't survive without a job He found work at a factory where he knew the owner who employed Walter without requesting documents or registration at the employment office Due to Berlin's susceptibility to bombardment Walter's factory and others were evacuated eastward His employer offered Walter the option to move with the other workers not wishing to leave his wife and children Walter organized employment for Aryeh outside Berlin Walter found Ilse a job as a maid with a German family After a Gestapo raid on Aryeh's place of residence in Fichtenwalde Aryeh escaped by the skin of his teeth and returned to Berlin but only three days after he started there Aryeh and Ilse found themselves alone in Berlin without the husband and father who had taken care of their every need Herta lost hope and informed her children that it was preferable to turn herself over to the Gestapo "They'll catch us anyway," she said "And that way we'll be together with Father."  Aryeh dissuaded her I will never hand myself over to the Gestapo." After Walter's arrest 16-year-old Aryeh searched tirelessly for hiding places for himself but they kept moving from place to place in an effort to evade the Gestapo raids and the spot- checks carried out on the streets by the police and sometimes didn't see each other for weeks at a time for fear of their Jewish identity being discovered Aryeh lived in the room of an apartment surrounded by Germans they were all Nazis except for two families The greeting "Heil Hitler" was said morning we said it again… In the same apartment where I had my room Almost every night I was forced to sit with him and discuss politics I had to curse the Jews together with him I'm quite sure he would have crushed me with his bare hands During two days of Allied bombing in November 1943 which had been scattered amongst different acquaintances The apartments of these acquaintances went up in flames and disappeared without a trace they struggled to find a place to sleep and something to eat and continued to work at any job they could find All three of them survived the days of fighting in Berlin and were reunited after the liberation of Berlin by the Red Army Recalling the first days after liberation Citizens filled out forms and were issued food tickets The residents of the building were amazed my name had been different… Some six weeks later I managed to find us a nice apartment with one-and-a-half rooms in a new building – an apartment that had belonged to Nazis who fled during the fighting and asked for a form permitting entry to the apartment Aryeh decided to leave Germany. He parted from his mother and sister, and left Berlin in October 1945, reaching the Bergen-Belsen DP camp.  In January 1946 he moved to the children's home in Blankenese he immigrated to Eretz Israel (Mandatory Palestine) via Marseille together with a group of children and teenagers and their counsellors and was seriously wounded in the War of Independence I was "privileged" to be wounded and was even considered a casualty of war for a time and at the last minute I was airlifted to hospital because it was for the purposes of protecting our homeland our national homeland where our people will settle forever and no one will return us to that place where we were during the story you are reading Herta and Ilse-Ilana immigrated to Israel in 1948 In 1955, Aryeh Meir submitted a Page of Testimony to Yad Vashem in memory of his father Walter.

In medical school, Horney began studying psychoanalysis Karen Horney's early experiences played a part in the later development of her theories She struggled with depression as a teen and was devastated by the death of her mother and brother where she would become an influential figure in American psychoanalysis Horney defined neurosis as the "psychic disturbance brought by fears and defenses against these fears and by attempts to find compromise solutions for conflicting tendencies." Horney instead proposed the concept of womb envy in which men experience feelings of inferiority because they cannot give birth to children Horney is regarded today as a neo-Freudian she disagreed with several of Freud's ideas and eventually broke from strict psychoanalysis Her own theories emphasized how neurotic needs served as a way to cope with the challenges of everyday life Her refutation of Freud's theories about women generated more interest in the psychology of women Despite the many obstacles that she faced as a woman in a field dominated by men Karen Horney became a prominent thinker who made important contributions to our understanding of human psychology Paris B.

batches of watertight packages Sealed bags containing a total of 2.3 tonnes of cocaine have washed up on the northern French coast in the past few days a source with knowledge of the find has said The drug was found in two batches of watertight packages on the Normandy coast the source told Agence France-Presse on Thursday The total street value of the cocaine is estimated at €150m (£133m) several bags totalling 850 kg were found on the Néville beach near the northern tip of Normandy and six more bags turned up on Wednesday on the nearby beach of Vicq-sur-Mer Police are still uncertain where the cocaine came from – whether traffickers threw it overboard deliberately to avoid arrest or whether it came loose from their boats in heavy weather The local maritime authorities said they were on “special watch” over the area using aircraft with no more drugs spotted by Thursday afternoon The last time that a large cocaine shipment washed up on the French coast was in 2019, when a total of 1.6 tonnes was found strewn all along the French Atlantic coast On Wednesday, the government said that it had seized 27 tonnes of cocaine last year, a five-fold increase over the past 10 years, as Europe faces a surge in trafficking and use of the drug Seizures were up 5% last year compared with 2021 with more than half of the narcotic coming from the West Indies and French Guiana most cocaine now

Jacob Hotel's lime terrace, we praise ourselves for the brilliant idea of trying out star-awarded cuisine in the middle of the day. The service is perfect and the small creative amuse-bouches alongside three kinds of bread accompany the moment while we observe the passing ships. The amuse-bouche is a marinated oyster – pure joy! Served with a glass of rosé champagne and we might just finish and go home right then and there. Fortunately, we do not because the appetizer of red, green and yellow tomatoes, artichokes and cream cheese ice cream is dazzling. Hard to believe what a staggering thing two-star chef Thomas Martin can make out of something as ordinary as a tomato. Organic salmon from Scotland lies on a vegetable bouquet, refreshingly named 'icicle', and is served with a decoction of lemongrass and ginger. That with a glass of Jacobs 2012 selection 'Fresh Breeze' Sauvignon Blanc – it couldn't get any better, we thought to ourselves, but little did we know. The main course superlative: Breton turbot on baby turnips and spinach with a mouthwatering beurre blanc sauce. Our plates are almost polished! For us, it was an unforgettable experience that showed us that extraordinary events do not necessarily have to take place in the evenings. Especially not when you're surrounded by an impressive dining room entirely drenched in sunlight, with a panoramic view of the Elbe in front of you.
