They have failed to record a single league victory at the MDCC-Arena this season but against all odds
FC Magdeburg sit top of the 2.Bundesliga table with 32 points from 19 games
Christian Titz's side maintained their abysmal home form on Friday as they recorded a 1-1 draw against second-bottom Eintracht Braunschweig
who equalised from the penalty spot through Lino Tempelmann
The team from Magdeburg – a city located along the Elbe River in northern Germany – have picked up seven draws and two losses at home this season
placing them second-to-last in the league for points earned on home soil
they have managed just nine goals across that immensely frustrating period
But remarkably, they sit top of the 2.Bundesliga ladder on goal difference thanks to their remarkable form on the road
one draw and one defeat in away games this season
Michael Yokhin posted a screenshot of the current 2.Bundesliga standings on X
after Friday's game at the MDCC-Arena – and it soon went viral
"Magdeburg are TOP of the table in 2.Bundesliga with ZERO home wins
They the only team in the league without home wins
the chances of that happening are zero."
Here's how fans reacted to FC Magdeburg's form this season
One wrote: "The last time they won at home was last February."
A second commented: "1/66000 chance a team doesn't win any of their first 9 home games (assuming a home win prob
of 54 %) and wins at least 8 of their first 10 away games (assuming an away game win prob
1/50 chance to lead with that record (92 champion had a similar record)
A third said: "Strange things are happening in football
Home advantage has disappeared in the English PL
where the away teams have now outscored the home teams
Should normally be about +80 to the homes at this point
And now a team is top of the league with zero home wins
A fourth wrote: "Magdeburg should shut down the stadium and play home gamea on someone else's ground lol," and a fifth added: "Looking down the table there seems to be a general aversion to winning at home."

develops substances that target the bacterial protective wall
Breaking down bacterial biofilms in order to lure the pathogens out of hiding is one of chemist Dr Alexander Titz’s goals. The junior research group leader from the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS) develops substances that target this bacterial protective wall
His most promising candidates include chemically modified sugar molecules
We wanted to find out more and paid the DZIF researcher a visit in the newly constructed HIPS building
“Drug design and optimisation” is written on his door; meaning research between the disciplines
Titz’s research project topics make this clear: one of them is “Chemical biology of carbohydrates”
and another “Medicinal chemistry of natural products”
and after a short pause admits: “and meanwhile maybe with a touch of biology.”
Alexander Titz aced his studies in chemistry at the TU Darmstadt in 2004
he had already taken his first step towards medicine with his diploma thesis which he prepared at Novartis Pharma AG in Switzerland
but continued living in Switzerland; a position in Basel interested him
at the Institute of Molecular Pharmacology
where he worked with protein and carbohydrate interactions
“Since then my work has revolved around topics in the sugar community,” says Titz
He himself seems to find it surprising how coincidences sometimes determine paths
because sugar molecules are still at the centre of his research activities today
and Switzerland became his home country for a longer period of time
And mountain climbing was only one of the many sports he enjoyed during his PhD
he changed to the ETH Zürich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) and conducted research in the field of molecular biology and microbiology
He was awarded the Klaus-Grohe Prize for medicinal chemistry for his work on protein-carbohydrate interactions
Alexander Titz’s life was disrupted by a serious accident and he has been in a wheelchair ever since
The tragic incident demanded a lot of strength and willpower from the young scientist to continue on his path
after spending only half a year in a rehabilitation clinic
he continued his research career; the tragedy is hardly noticeable in his curriculum vitae
the scientist changed to the Zukunftskolleg of the University of Constance
he brought together his previous research in microbiology and on medical questions
because I am still able to do good research work.” Which is an understatement: with a team of currently six people Alexander Titz presents promising solutions in the fight against bacteria
“We modify the sugar molecules so that they can very specifically bind to lectins and displace the unmodified sugar molecules,” Titz explains
The sticky substance should then break down
There is also a chance that these molecules will not cause resistance
They do not kill the bacteria and consequently do not expose them to selection pressure
And Titz appreciates this nationwide network: “It is good that the DZIF is helping to bridge the gap between industry and research
Alexander Titz and his team are also working on developing new antibiotics and
the kind which do not immediately cause resistance
The natural substance argyrin seems to be a good candidate
the work is about virtually making them ‘more aggressive’ or ‘more willing to bond’
With argyrin the opposite is the case,” explains Titz
we need to ensure that the antibiotic effect does not affect everything.” However
“Even here we will find ways of manipulating it.”
The newly constructed HIPS building provides optimal conditions for his research
The entire second floor is available to his “drug design and optimisation”: from synthesis to analysis
all the way through to bioactivity measurement
It even has a biosafety level 2 laboratory for investigating dangerous pathogens
Ideal prerequisites for optimising aggressive sugars and other novel active substances

New directors Dorian Lebherz and Daniel Titz discuss their latest spot for Johnnie Walker
a deeply emotional Johnnie Walker spec spot
the special bond between siblings is explored as two brothers roam the Scottish Highlands
through scenic shots accompanied by a stirring
the tale reveals the brothers’ deep connection and
as they reach the cliffs of the Isle of Skye
it comes to a conclusion with a heartbreaking twist as one brother vanishes and the other scatters his ashes to the wind and sea
The directing duo behind the ad, Dorian Lebherz and Daniel Titz, met on the first day of their course at renowned German film school, Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg
and hit it off through their love of visual storytelling
which has notched up over three and a half million YouTube views at the time of going to press
you’d think they’d been doing this for decades
“Our goal was to tell a story that creates deep emotions within a short period of time” say the pair
“We tried to add small visual clues that create the feeling that there’s something wrong
That’s why the dead brother’s glass is broken and the framing of the camera is always focussed on the living brother and sometimes loses the other out of frame
We love including details that nobody might ever see.”
The directors have had little experience of making films for agencies and clients but developed the idea themselves and set about researching a location
“Shooting outside of Germany was something we both wanted to explore and since neither of us had ever been to Scotland
doing it there seemed like an amazing opportunity to get to know this beautiful country,” they say
“We started by researching brands that originated in Scotland and especially ones we associated with the unique landscape
We decided to go with Johnnie Walker because we liked their ‘Keep Walking’ line very much.”
Despite wanting to eventually create longer form work
Lebherz and Titz are excited about doing more commercials and are confident they can bring a bold approach to the advertising process
“When you do a spec spot there is no client demanding you show the product more often,” muse the pair
“We are still learning in many ways but we hope we can convince clients to take their audience more seriously
There is no need to show the product in every single shot if it is woven skilfully into the story and plays a key role rather than gaining importance from repetition
We can’t wait to go and show them what you can do when you are brave enough.”
they say it’s come as a welcome surprise: “Up to now
we thought a film had to be funny and eccentric to make some noise
We are delighted that people seem to appreciate a good story and an honest and emotional film like Dear Brother
this was the most surprising thing in times when you have to compete against fail videos and funny cats.”

There are three main sections of historic Prague in the Czech Republic: Old Town
the Holy Roman Emperor who moved his capital to Prague
designed New Town himself in 1348 on farmland east and south of the original city
Construction of a new mall from 2003 to 2006
and the rescue excavations that were part of it
revealed that there was even more to historic Prague
the archaeologists working on the city’s largest-ever dig uncovered the remains of yet another urban center outside Old Town
dating to 150 years before Charles IV’s burst of urban planning
According to archaeologist Pavel Titz of Charles University
this occupation outside Old Town had a “sometimes quite splendid urban character.”
Prior to the construction of the Palladium
now the Czech Republic’s largest shopping center
archaeologists found the foundations of twelfth-century structures that predate the construction of Old Town’s city walls
The remains consist primarily of three Romanesque structures
including what Titz refers to as a “palace,” one of only three such buildings in Prague
along with a well-preserved cesspit and bits of flat window glass
The foundations of the buildings were constructed of timber and masonry
the first evidence in Prague of such an approach to construction
The digs also turned up more than five million pieces of pottery
archaeologists and developers were faced with the challenge of how to preserve the important remains
A visit to the Neoluxor bookstore reveals the solution: Amid the shelves of books for sale are the actual foundation and walls of the “palace” building
and informational signage pop up throughout the shopping experience
“The Palladium shows that it is possible to preserve and present archaeology in modern buildings,” says Titz
The Palladium has more than 200 shops and 30 restaurants and cafés
but the rest of historic Prague is right on its doorstep
No visitor can miss Prague Castle in Lesser Town
the largest castle complex in the world; the ornate Astronomical Clock on the facade of Old Town Hall; and bustling Wenceslas Square in New Town
and architectural wonders both old and new
Goodyear has appointed Frank Titz to the role of managing director OE Truck EMEA
Titz joined Goodyear in 1997 as manager sales & marketing Truck Tires for Germany
In the course of his career he has held various international sales and general management functions within the company and “brings with him a wealth of experience in the consumer and commercial business
he served as general director of Goodyear’s business in Russia
Frank Titz is the older brother of Jürgen Titz
the long-time chairman of Goodyear Dunlop Tires Germany GmbH
Well look no further - as from a pair of Titz in Algeria, via a Brazilian Varginha and a Philippine Sexmoan, there’s plenty of places to visit in the world.
Now 300 of the rudest-named destinations have been meticulously logged in a new map by Humphrey Butler from the Magnificently Rude Map Of World Place Names.
Humphrey said: “Every country has its own trends - in Australia there are lots of rocky outcrops called ‘knobs’ such as Peculiar Nob, Bald Knob and even Prominent Nob.
“While in the USA there’s Horneytown, Three Way and Intercourse.
perhaps less appealingly named destinations are Bowels of the Earth (New Zealand)
Backside Of Hell Cove (Canada) Port Circumcision (Alaska) and Rectum in Poland

Melbourne
The NGV is extending opening hours for the Terracotta Warriors and Cai Guo-Qiang double-header during its final weeks
the gallery is staying open late until 10pm from Oct 5 to 10 and then again on Oct 13
The National Gallery of Victoria's latest winter blockbuster was a look back at the last 130 years of modern art
but its major 2019 winter exhibitions are looking a fair bit further back
For more than 2,000 years an army of 8,000 life-sized terracotta warriors have stood guard at the tomb of Qin Shi Huang
The army was entirely unknown until it was discovered by farmers digging a well in 1974
It's not every day you stumble across one of the wonders of the world
A delegation of eight warriors are visiting Melbourne as part of an exhibition at the NGV called Terracotta Warriors: Guardians of Immortality. True
eight warriors out of 8,000 feels a little bit measly
but they are presented alongside more than 150 treasures from ancient China
But the NGV is a gallery that always has one eye on the present and the future, which is why it's presenting another exhibition from China this winter: all new works from contemporary artist Cai Guo-Qiang
At the centre of his exhibition is an installation of 10,000 suspended porcelain birds flying high above visitors' heads.
Terracotta Warriors: Guardians of Immortality is one half of a two-part exhibition, alongside Cai Guo-Qiang: The Transient Landscape

The City Gallery within Melbourne Town Hall is small
yet the complex installation Patrick Pound has installed within it feels as if you are falling through the vastness of space in a toy Dr Who phone box
This is totally appropriate for an exhibition named The Museum of Falling
all submitting to the power of gravity and the vagaries of chance
Pound does this sort of thing better than anyone else on the planet
Not only is he billed as the curator of his own exhibition
but quite appropriately he has penned the catalogue essay
to continue the Dr Who comparison (with a bit of Whitman and Bob Dylan thrown in)
paperbacks (All That Fall by Samuel Beckett) and famous tourist sites (The Leaning Tower of Pisa)
all classified by displaying different aspects of the word “Falling”
“half the show is drawn from the several thousand images in my personal collection
mostly photographs purchased online and from around the globe
The other half come from the City of Melbourne collections
It’s been wonderful working with them.” Once
showing me around his archive at his Brunswick studio he told me
“My images are created with the click of a mouse
not the click of a camera shutter.” Columns of filing cabinets seemed to go on forever
like a collaboration between Jorge Luis Borges and the East German Stasi
I’ve been following the career of Patrick Pound for over three decades
since I created my own fictitious museum in New York
The Museum of Contemporary Ideas on Park Avenue (1989—ongoing)
Similar Superfictions masquerading as museums include
David Wilson’s Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles
Suzanne Treister’s The Institute of Militronics (London)
Marcel Broodthaers’ Museum of Modern Art Department of the Eagles (1968)
Pound was in a survey show of paintings at the Art Gallery of New South Wales
certificates he’d purchased through the mail
that lauded him as being one of the Five Thousand Personalities of the World
There was his listing in the New Zealand Who’s Who 1994
But he never submitted a photograph of himself to these fame-for-hire anthologies
but always one of a Lithuanian sculptor and soap carver called Lester Gaba
unrelated photographs in a grid (paying tribute to the great German photographers Bernd and Hilla Becher)
One set of images shows men whose ties are all blowing in the wind in the same direction
Another grid is made up of photographs where the photographer’s shadow is cast across the foreground of the family portrait or the sunny street
Another memorable set plays on the commonality of each photographer’s thumb partly obscuring the lens
When I interviewed Pound by phone for this review he told me
“If I could find a single photograph that represented all these visual tendencies
that would be the time to stop.” I could never imagine him stopping
so I asked about other fictive museums he has created
There’s The Museum of Holes,” he replies matter-of-factly
which grew out of my installation at the National Gallery of Victoria called Patrick Pound The Great Exhibition.” Like many
It was a vast wunderkammer of an installation made up from objects drawn from the NGV’s collection and from Pound’s own systematic collecting
It ran through the galleries like a vast river of all things connected to the notion of wind and air; from Jethro Tull’s 1971 album Aqualung to 19th century gilt-framed paintings of windswept shores
and of course a ubiquitous photograph of a man shivering on a wall while his tie is blown to the right
“A large book of my museum work is being published next year in America
“Other projects are happening in Germany and elsewhere in Europe.” He’s just returned from there
“I’m keen to do some work on Gombrich’s ideas of what it takes to make an image
and on experiments with pattern recognition.” This current exhibition runs until Valentine’s Day

A Lake Country winery has rallied behind women who are battling cancer
Ex Nihilo Vineyards raised $9,600 at its third annual Titz-Elation
“Our community was about to lose a very special program called Managing Life with Cancer
due to lack of funding,” said Decoa Harder
“After speaking with individuals who had taken the program
we felt committed to do what we could to keep it available in our community.”
Additional funds from the event will go to female cancer patients who have young children
“There are moms in our community who are suddenly experiencing additional financial strain
as they pursue treatments for some very aggressive cancers,” said Harder
“Our goal is to take a little bit of financial stress away
so they can focus on healing and get back to being mom
Managing Life With Cancer is a course offered to cancer patients and their support persons
Participants will explore a variety of topics related to cancer care and coping
Topics include understanding the mind-body connection; stress-reduction techniques; managing energy; identifying personal strengths and health-enhancing goals; and effective ways to communicate about cancer with family

She spent close to 40 years working as a highly regarded management consultant, alongside her late husband Harold Campbell-Pretty, before retiring and becoming an National Gallery of Victoria Foundation board member.
“My husband and I began supporting the NGV Foundation around 2004,” she says. “It was something we began together and that I developed after he passed away.
“I became aware there were lots of things I could do to support the gallery and the passion unfolded,” she says of her philanthropic role.
Since 2015, Campbell-Pretty’s contribution to the NGV’s Fashion and Textiles collection has amassed 250 garments and over 3000 pieces that form the library research archive.
Think very early designer sketches, fashion magazines, photography, and embroidery samples that help tell the story of fashion.
“It’s a relatively short period but a very powerful period in terms of what’s been achieved in really transforming the fashion collection,” says Katie Somerville, the NGV’s senior curator in fashion and textiles.
The Krystyna Campbell-Pretty Fashion Gift currently has 150 of her acquisitions on display among the gallery’s permanent collection.

The major fashion exhibition focuses on haute couture from the 1890s through to contemporary fashion, including 15 pieces from Yves Saint Laurent, a rare suite of Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel’s little black dresses, and even a highly coveted Elsa Schiaparelli two-piece.
“It’s been on our wish list at NGV for as long as I have been here – and I have been here for 24 years,” Somerville laughs. “It gives you a sense of how dedicated and driven Krystyna is.”
While admitting the haute couture she has collected is “just as beautiful as the art” displayed in the gallery, for Campbell-Pretty “women’s fashion is about history”.
“If you walk through the exhibition, you will see a complete change of women’s attitudes to themselves and people towards women,” she says.
Campbell-Pretty’s collector spirit and desire to preserve history also extends to her private inner-city Melbourne residence.
The Victorian home was built in 1855 and is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.
“It’s a very important building and one of the earliest still standing from the period,” Campbell-Pretty says of the property she and her husband purchased almost 30 years ago.
Before the couple acquired the home, the property had operated as a church-owned private hospital since the 1930s.
The premises had undergone quick-mend cosmetic changes – the floors were covered with Masonite and shag-pile carpet and rooms were divided with thin plaster partitions – but the build’s original blueprint remained intact.
It would be another 15 years before the couple moved into the property.
“We initially bought it as our main corporate headquarters,” Campbell-Pretty says. “After we sold the business, we decided to take on the mammoth task of taking it back to a private home.”
As the building’s new custodians, the couple knew the site had to undergo extensive restoration to bring the heritage property back to its former domestic glory.
They were careful to retain the original structure of the home but everything else was “completely gutted”.
The Campbell-Prettys engaged heritage architect Bruce Trethowan for the job. “He had a very great sympathy for this sort of building,” says Campbell-Pretty. “We had to bring the home back to something like its original shape and remove the partitions and strip out all wiring and plumbing – everything, you name it.”
Campbell-Pretty says while the home had been adapted over the years, they were fortunate that those changes were easily reversed and the original build was never destroyed.
Thin plastered partitioned walls were removed and once the carpet and Masonite floors were stripped, original details and parquetry floors were revealed.
Once the property had been structurally restored, the interiors came next. Campbell-Pretty wanted to retain the feeling of the Victorian home with casual, modern living.
Original features were kept in the front formal areas, while the modern living area out back is open plan and looks out onto the gardens. The rooms were painted in light colours to replicate a Victorian-era palette.
Combining her love of fashion and collecting, the home is decorated with key pieces of sentimental value to Campbell-Pretty.
Similarly to the current NGV exhibition, she has some of her favourite garments on display.
“I’ve actually put some of my old dresses on mannequins around the house,” she says.
Campbell-Pretty also proudly displays her collection of early 20th-century Italian alabaster lamps and paintings by Australian impressionists, including Charles Conder. “He was actually born in England but spent much of his life here.”
Through a sympathetic restoration, Campbell-Pretty achieved her goal to create a home with a “classical and modern but also comfortable environment”.
It takes the work of a true collector to see the beauty of yesterday and bring it back to life for tomorrow, which is exactly what’s she done.
The Krystyna Campbell-Pretty Fashion Gift is on display at the National Gallery of Victoria until July 14.
