Malxe
Malxe (Lower Sorbian Małksa) is a river in Brandenburg, Germany. Due to open pit lignite mining, its upper course and lower course have been separated. The upper course, which is also referred to as Malxe-Neiße-Kanal, leads from Döbern along Forst (Lausitz) to Briesnig, where it discharges into the Lusatian Neisse. The Malxe proper, the former lower course, starts at the western edge of the Jänschwalde open pit mine, in Heinersbrück, and flows through Peitz to Schmogrow-Fehrow, where it joins the Hammergraben, forming the Großes Fließ.

Shaun Greenhalgh
Shaun Greenhalgh (born 1960) is a British artist and former art forger. Over a seventeen-year period, between 1989 and 2006, he produced a large number of forgeries. Teaming up with his brother and elderly parents, who fronted the sales side of the operation, he successfully sold his fakes internationally to museums, auction houses, and private buyers, accruing nearly £1 million.The family have been described by Scotland Yard as "possibly the most diverse forgery team in the world, ever". However, when they attempted to sell three Assyrian reliefs using the same provenance as they had previously, suspicions were raised. Apprehended, Shaun Greenhalgh was sentenced to prison for four years and eight months in November 2007.The Victoria and Albert Museum in London held an exhibition of Greenhalgh's works from 23 January to 7 February 2010.The Metropolitan Police’s art and antiques unit built a replica model of the shed where the works were created and labelled Greenhalgh "the most diverse art forger known in history". Many of his fakes, including the Amarna Princess, Risley Park Lanx, and works by Barbara Hepworth and...

Příkopy, které se táhnou dodnes
Čeští Němci se před sto lety probudili do státu, který nechtěli. Jejich osud v zemi, v níž žili a ke které patřili po celá staletí, se pomalu začal naplňovat. Pokus o společné soužití v novém československém státě skončil jejich násilným odsunem po zvěrstvech druhé světové války. Od té doby dodnes…

Tonight We Riot Devs Wanted To Make An 'Unapologetically Leftist' Game
“Politics” has become a dirty word in gaming, especially when angrily screamed—or, as is usually the case, frantically typed—by a vocal minority of reactionary video game fans. But for more progressive players, games often aren’t political enough. Or, when they do take a position, they push objectionable conservative concepts like capitalism, imperialism, and militarism. Tonight We Riot bucks these trends by proudly wearing its decidedly leftist ideology on its sleeve.

Historik Miloslav Szabó: Čím zlákal (a láká?) fašismus katolické kněží na Slovensku
Za druhé světové války byl nastolen na Slovensku satelitní režim nacistického Německa, v jehož čele usedl prezident-kněz Jozef Tiso. Byl sice nejvýraznějším, ale nikoli jediným katolickým knězem, který se pustil v této temné době do politického angažmá. Kniha historika Miloslava Szabó nazvaná Klérofašisti zkoumá osudy a myšlení slovenských (nejen) katolických kněží, kteří podlehli vábení fašistické ideologie.
