Starting today we the focus again on practicing our German through deeply listening to the music of Nena. We will pick up where we left off, Nena's third studio album, Feuer und Flamme ("Fire and Flame"). It was released in 1985 and reached number two in the German charts. The first track is "Utopia."
Lyrics from Nena.de
YouTube
Amazon (CD album)
Here is a purported English translation. I do not know who wrote these lyrics but they stray very far from the German.
We have a few A2/B1 vocabulary words.
Die Spur Trace Suchte man überall nach Spuren zum Paradis https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/german-english/spur
Der Stahl Steel Augen aus Stahl / Seelen aus Metall https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/german-english/stahl
UTOPIA
Im Jahr 2010 / Ich konnt’ den Tanz der Sterne sehn / Flog in Gedanken davon / Mit Herzen aus Kristall / Suchte man überall / Nach Spuren zum Paradies
In the year 2010 / I could see the dance of the stars / Flew away in my thoughts / With hearts of crystal / Searched everywhere / For traces of paradise
Frag mich nicht wer ich bin / Frag nicht / Frag mich nicht wohin ich geh’ / Frag nicht / Frag nicht zum Weg ins Paradies / Frag nicht / Frag mich nicht nach Metropolis
Don't ask me who I am / Don't ask / Don't ask me where I'm going / Don't ask / Don't ask me the way to paradise / Don't ask / Don't ask me about Metropolis
Augen aus Stahl / Seelen aus Metall / Mich ruft das Wort der Zeit / Im Labor der Geschichte / War ich der Allerletzte / Und steh im Staub dieser Welt
Eyes of steel / Souls of metal / I am called by the word of time / In the laboratory of history / I was the very last / And stand in the dust of this world
Frag mich nicht wer ich bin / Frag nicht / Frag mich nicht wohin ich geh’ / Frag nicht / Frag nicht zum Weg ins Paradies / Frag nicht / Frag mich nicht nach Metropolis
Don't ask me who I am / Don't ask / Don't ask me where I'm going / Don't ask / Don't ask me the way to paradise / Don't ask / Don't ask me about Metropolis
Augen aus Stahl / Seelen aus Metall / Mich ruft das Wort der Zeit / Im Labor der Geschichte / War ich der Allerletzte / Und steh im Staub dieser Welt
Eyes of steel / Souls of metal / I am called by the word of time / In the laboratory of history / I was the very last / And stand in the dust of this world

Hallo zusammen, ich könnte eure Weisheit gebrauchen (Einkommenssteuer 2023).
Ich war von 2010 bis 2023 an einer GmbH als Gesellschafter beteiligt ( „unwesentlich“ , d.H. unter 1% ), bis sie schließlich verkauft, und ich ausbezahlt wurde. Den Gewinn muss ich, wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe, als Einkünfte aus Kapitalvermögen versteuern.
Jetzt sitze ich hier vor meinem ELSTER und überlege wo genau das denn eingetragen werden muss.
Ich bin zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass in Anlage KAP, "5 - Kapitalerträge, die nicht dem inländischen Steuerabzug unterlegen haben“ -> nr. 18 "Inländische Kapitalerträge“ einzutragen.
"Kapitalerträge, die dem inländischen Steuerabzug unterlegen haben“ habe ich dagegen nicht weiter angefasst, weil alles was dort reinkommt ja von Banken, Bausparern u.Ä. schon abgeführt und erklärt wurde. Zumindest weigert sich ELSTER standhaft, dort Bescheinigungen zu importieren.
Denkt Ihr das ist so richtig oder bin ich da ganz falsch unterwegs?

Platform(s): Windows PC, I played on xp or 7 I can't remember. It was on CD.
Genre: 3D, Puzzle, adventure, the camera was sot of topdown but off set at an angle so you had a better view of the map.
Estimated year of release: 2005-2010 is the interval I had played it not sure on actual release.
Graphics/art style: 3D, stylized, the game was set in a sort of abandonned facility so it had a mixture of Sci-fi and grimy industrial asthetic. Wide range of colors, sci-fi parts were bright and colorful contrasted by the rusty, dirty saturated industrial elements.
Objects and models were simple but unique and distinguishable so even from a bird's eye view you could tell exactly what was what.
The animations were well made and smooth. Lots of particle effects.
Notable characters: The main character was a humanoid robot with one arm looking like a cannon (like megaman). It was completely grey with green glowing eyes. It could also find body armor on some stages which gave it a glowing green chest armor.
There was a larger robot too, an antagonist I think. Much larger than the player. It stood on two legs with a large rounded body it had no head but a single large red eye in the front of its body. It had arms but no hands, I can't remember exactly if they were claw or gun arms.
These are the only two characters I've seen in the game, and they were the only ones featured on the game's in game menu art. Strangely the the disc case had completely different cover art.
Notable gameplay mechanics: There were a ton. It was a Puzzle game after all. Firstly, the game was set on an invisible grid. The player could move orthogonally on the grid and objects were also alligned on this grid while walls were on the lines.
The main goal of each stage was to open the exit portal to the next stage. To do this you had to fulfill some sort of goal. IF I remember corectly then the goal was gathering a certain number of nuts and bolts, Rachet & Clank Style.
The player was weak but able to push light objects like wooden crates and explosive barrels. On later stages the player is introduced to metal crates that can't be moved by hand and need to be moved by giant electro magnets that are on the stage. Even later the player is introduced to energy cubes that are multi colored, glowy and see through. They can be pushed easily and when they are pushed into another energy cube of the same color they disappear.
There were some power ups too: -An item that lets the player pull objects not just push. -An item that gives you a speed boost. -An afformentioned body armor that can take a few hits for you. -An item that lets you shoot a powerful blast from your hand cannon. -An an item that temporarily makes you really fast and intangable, allowing you run through walls and traps. These are the ones I can remember off the top of my head. But the player did have an inventory where these were some of these were stored.
The player also had health. Despite most traps being instant death, there were ones like water puddles and gun turrets that only dealt damage. As for instant death, there were: Landmines and other explosives, laser beams, giant magnets, getting crushed by objects. There was even unique "death" animations for most.
Other details: There is not much besides what I already described. Though the way it was presented made it feel kind of like a bootleg. The box art not matching the game art. And the fact I fished it out of a bargain bin.
I wish I could provide any image or video but sadly I have yet to find anything on the subject. One thing is for certain though. For as low profile as it was, I remember it being well made and entertaining. Also mind bendingly hard on some stages.
I made this post to see if I wasn't the sole recipient of a mysterious game that would've set me off on an epic adventure of a life time had I finished it.
Any who thanks in advance!

Servus Leute.
Suche im Auftrag ein Erstauto mit 5k Budget im Auftrag für eine 18 jährige. Bin in dem Preissegment nicht wirklich am aktuellen Stand, was würdet ihr hier empfehlen?
Anforderungen... Sollte verlässlich und sparsam sein, komfort was das budget halt hergibt. Dacht an einen Fiesta Mk5, die sind aber doch schon sehr alt und haben wenig komfort, liegen auch unterm Budget, mit den neueren Baureihen kenne ich mich nicht gut genug aus um es beurteilen zu können.
Jedenfalls ein Kompaktwagen, würde ausm Bauch raus Saugbenziner BJ ~2010 sagen. Habt ihr ne Idee?

Hallo zusammen,
ich denke mit 32 über ein Medizinstudium und die damit verbundene berufliche Umorientierung nach. Neben den, mit einer entsprechend umfangreichen Entscheidung einhergehenden Zweifeln habe ich im Moment vor allem Probleme damit, überhaupt einen realistischen Weg ins Studium zu finden.
Kurz zu mir: -32 Jahre alt -Abitur 2010 in Niedersachsen mit 2,3 -Rettungssanitäter Lehrgang, anschließend 1 Jahr hauptamtliche Tätigkeit im RD -Bachelorstudium an der Polizeiakademie Niedersachsen (Berufsakademie, zählt meiner Recherche nach nicht als Erststudium) -Seitdem Polizeibeamter im gehobenen Dienst, die meiste Zeit in einer eher speziellen Verwendung, in welcher ich auch viel als nebenamtlicher Rettungssanitäter tätig war.
Nun tut sich allerdings wie gesagt die Frage auf, wie ein Studium denn grundsätzlich bei dem beschriebenen Lebenslauf zu realisieren wäre. Ich bin kinderlos und verspüre zwar nicht den Drang, umzuziehen, wäre da notfalls aber flexibel. Lediglich der Weg ins Ausland ist bisher keine realistische Option – das würde für meine Frau etwas schwierig.
Habt ihr spontan Ideen?

Hi ich bin Sven und ich pendle jeden Tag zwischen Karlsruhe und Heilbronn! Reicht das als Intro für die Anonymen Bahnkritiker?
Jahrelang (seit 2011) bin ich freiwillig mit der Bahn (damals AVG Tram-Trains) nach Heilbronn gependelt. Ich habe mich schon damals oft genug über die unnötigen, viel zu häufigen Ausfälle die durch das wunderbare /s Rollmaterial der AVG GT-8 2S verursacht wurden. Schnipp und wir nehmen den ET 2010 der ja quasi gar nix kann wenn es um Zuverlässigkeit geht. Schnipp wir sind bei der Neuvergabe des Landes und haben plötzlich die DB Regio Mitte als Teilnehmer mit Alstom Coradia Triebzügen die nichtmal das Lichtraumprofil erfüllen. Begegnungsfahrten sind an mindestens 8 Stellen auf der Strecke nicht möglich. Der Fahrplan ist seit Dezember 22 daher eher „optional“. Und jetzt kommen die Stricher auf die Idee die Strecke für ein halbes Jahr mit Ersatzverkehr zu bedienen weil Sie 2spurig ausbauen? Ein fucking halbes Jahr? Wo es zeitgleich auch auf der Alternative Karlsruhe-Bietigheim-Heilbronn auch nix gibt? Meine Pendelzeit von (Nähe Karlsruhe) nach Heilbronn verlängert sich jetzt für ein halbes Jahr von 2:25 auf 3:45 Minuten…ach ne ich fahr dann wieder Auto

Anthony Timpone

• Born in Queens, moved to Montreal
• Editor for Fangoria from 1985 to 2010
• Sold articles to Starlog, publisher of the HorrorFX magazine

The only problem is based on this 1992 appearence he doesn't have a stutter and he looks a bit too old to be the Anthony in GRFM only 3 years earlier. However if he was an editor for Fangoria, then what if the magazine we see in GRFM is a production copy. That could explain why it seems to be black instead of red and missing Freddy from the cover. That could also mean GRFM is actually older than 1989.
Edit: I contacted him and he confirmed it's not him.

Hi all. I've been on a bit of a bender today - thinking about my childhood playing games like Club Penguin, Moshi Monsters, Bin Weevils, Free Realms and Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures. I have memories of another game I used to play in that pre-2012 period, which I think featured pandas as the playable species? It was definitely something similar to a panda, at least. It was definitely in the same style as CP and BW, I'm trying to discern the name of the game, and whether it might still be up/has emu'd servers.
Platform(s): Windows, probably Mac (and Linux?) too since, from memory, it's a web browser game (Which, I suppose, means the odds of it still existing in its original state are slim.)
Genre: Uhh... Kiddy MMO? I dunno how else to explain it.
Estimated year of release: Probably mid 2000s, given that by 2010 I'd mostly switched away from the first 3 games I mentioned above, and onto stuff like ROBLOX. I stayed with SW:CWA and Free Realms a bit longer, and I don't remember playing this game much concurrently with those two and ROBLOX.
Graphics/art style: 2d graphics, that sort of cutesy art style where there's detail but it's still very kid friendly from Moshi Monsters and Bin Weevils. Edit - I recall the game having a somewhat 'oriental' style for at least some of the areas present in the game.
Notable characters: Pandas, I think?
Notable gameplay mechanics: Generic stuff for a Club Penguin/Bin Weevils style game. Mini-games and such, basic as hell character customisation.
Other details: I'm from the United Kingdom of Great Britain, and currently in my early 20s. I believe Bin Weevils was UK-only, so this game may be as well.
I know I haven't given really any information on this subject, but that's because my memories are so damned hazy. I just want answers on what this game was.
EDIT:
Ruled out thus far: Panfu, Pandanda, Kung Fu Panda World, Pet Pet Park, Animal Jam, Secret Bear World, Franktown Rocks, Rolypolyland, Poptropica, Furcadia, Webkins, Tootsville, Neopets.

Following on from the BBC article posted recently “explaining” the 115 charges laid at Man City’s feet, I decided to look properly at what the charges are, given that the article barely went further than rehashing that Man City cheated over and over again without any attempt at critical analysis.

What are the breaches?

There are 5 main areas that the breaches fall into:

• Accuracy of financial information
• Manager and player remuneration
• Compliance with UEFA regulations
• Compliance with PSR
• Cooperation with the investigation

The actual text of the Premier League’s statement can be seen here: https://www.premierleague.com/news/3045970

Where did the breaches come from?

The original source of the allegations were leaked emails from Portuguese hacker Rui Pinto. Rui Pinto was handed a 4 year suspended sentence last year for attempted extortion, illegal access to data and breach of correspondence with relation to the leaks, which were posted via his Football Leaks website in 2015. Emails from Manchester City were not the only things leaked - players like Messi and Neymar were also caught up in some leaks related to their salaries. In total there were millions of documents.
These leaked emails surfaced via Der Spiegel in 2018 as part of an expose feature which they ran, and spanned 4 articles at the time. You can read the first here: https://www.spiegel.de/international/manchester-city-exposed-bending-the-rules-to-the-tune-of-millions-a-1236346.html
On the back of these leaks UEFA, after launching an investigation in March 2019, charged Manchester City with breaches of their regulations which led, in 2020, to the club being banned from European football for 2 seasons alongside a 30m euro fine.
Alongside that UEFA investigation, the Premier League also opened an investigation. It took until 2023 for them to present their charges - the statement linked above. The case is ongoing.

What about those UEFA breaches?

The club denied any wrongdoing and appealed to CAS, the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Upon hearing the case CAS found no evidence to support UEFA’s conclusions with regards to the allegations. As a result the club’s ban from European football was overturned with immediate effect. CAS sided with UEFA on their non-cooperation charges and stated that the club could have done more to provide UEFA with documents when requested. CAS therefore issued a 10m Euro fine.
You can read the verdict here: https://www.tas-cas.org/fileadmin/user_upload/CAS_Award_6785___internet__.pdf
This was the second time that the club had a run-in with UEFA. They first had a disagreement over potential breaches in 2014 related to the club spending more than the allowed amount in the previous season - the club contested that this was the result of UEFA not allowing deductibles for existing contracts started before FFP was introduced. There were no charges laid at City for this - the club entered a settlement with UEFA and a subsequent monitoring period with specific break even requirements and squad restrictions. That period ended in 2017 with UEFA declaring that the club had complied with all of the agreements within the settlement.

Didn’t City get away with it because everything was time barred?

The CAS verdict did find that the first 2 years of alleged breaches related to the club’s financial statements (the bits referred to as inflated sponsorships) were time barred (a process whereby the time permitted to bring forward the issue has passed and it is no longer possible to pursue the case - 5 years in UEFA’s rules), and so could not be considered. The rest of the years questioned were considered, and ultimately no evidence was found of financial irregularities.

Onto the 115

The Premier League statement lists 5 key areas of breaches, outlined earlier, which I will dive into more now. In total, the number of rules that the Premier League have accused Manchester City of breaching is 130. That is broken down into:

• Accuracy of financial information: 50 rules (2009/10 to 2017/18)
• Manager and player remuneration: 20 rules (2009/10 to 2015/16)
• Compliance with UEFA regulations: 5 rules (2013/14 to 2017/18)
• PSR compliance: 25 rules (2015/16 to 2017/18)
• Non-cooperation: 30 rules (2018/19 to 2022/23)

No matter how I try to recalculate it, I never get 115. I'm unsure of the exact place that the 115 number came from, and it certainly doesn't match the numbers when broken down in the BBC article.
I have broken down the list of breaches and cross referenced them with the Premier League’s handbooks for each season from 2009/10 through to 2022/23. With all five areas of breaches I have provided the text of the rule that the League included in their statement, plus a summarised version that tries to give a less legalese or technical reading. The tables are presented for reference and I won’t go into the specifics of them.

Accuracy of financial information

The Premier League stated:

In respect of each of Seasons 2009/10 to 2017/18 inclusive, the Premier League Rules applicable in those seasons that required provision by a member club to the Premier League, in the utmost good faith, of accurate financial information that gives a true and fair view of the club’s financial position, in particular with respect to its revenue (including sponsorship revenue), its related parties and its operating costs.

Below is the list of breaches taken from the league’s statement, grouped and translated into easier language.

Rules	Season	Text	Summarised
B13, B15, B16	09/10 10/11 11/12 12/13 13/14 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18	In all matters and transactions relating to the League each Club shall behave towards each other Club and the League with the utmost good faith	Act honestly and fairly towards other clubs and the league itself

Clubs must immediately inform the league if there are any changes that could significantly impact the accuracy of the financial or other information they have previously submitted

Effectively the Premier League are stating that, for the period of 2009 until 2018, the club have not been filing accurate financial statements. This relates directly to the leaked emails that are presented to show members of staff discussing payment amounts and sources of monies that are paid to the club for sponsorship, namely for the two main sponsors, Etihad and Etisalat, that are referenced in the UEFA trial. As can be seen from the rules above, some of them are more obviously related than others. There has been some criticism of the Premier League for going for such a wide number of charges, as they have not focused on one area.
With regards to this section of breaches, the club claims that the leaked emails are not evidence of wrongdoing, and are not admissible as evidence. CAS found in favour of UEFA’s assertion that the emails were in fact admissible in their case, so the club is unlikely to be able to contest this point further. This section will essentially boil down to whether the leaked emails show enough evidence of wrongdoing, and whether any further context that has been provided by the club (something that was mentioned in the CAS trial as being helpful towards Man City’s case) is sufficient to prove guilt. It is likely that only 1 or 2 of these 50 rules above are actually key. Others, like B13, B15, and B16 which relate to clubs acting in good faith, would not be enough to charge a club without being bundled in with something else.

Manager and Player Remuneration

This section is broken down further into 2 key areas: manager remuneration, and player remuneration.
The Premier League statement:

In respect of each of Seasons 2009/10 to 2012/13 inclusive, the Premier League Rules applicable in those Seasons requiring a member club to include full details of manager remuneration in its relevant contracts with its manager

And;

In respect of each of Seasons 2010/11 to 2015/16 inclusive, the Premier League Rules applicable in those Seasons requiring a member club to include full details of player remuneration in its relevant contracts with its players

Grouped and summarised below:

Rules	Season	Text	Summarised
Q7, P7	09/10 10/11 11/12 12/13	No Club shall employ any person as a Manager unless and until: 1 the terms of the Manager’s employment have been evidenced in a written contract of employment between the Club and the Manager 2 the Manager’s contract of employment has been registered with the Secretary.	Clubs must not hire a manager unless the manager's employment terms are clearly stated in a written contract, and this contract is officially registered with the league's Secretary.
Q8, P8	09/10 10/11 11/12 12/13	Contracts of employment between a Club and a Manager shall: 1 include the standard clauses set out in Appendix 8; 2 clearly set out the circumstances in which the contract of employment may be determined by either party.	Employment contracts between a club and a manager must include mandatory standard clauses and specify the conditions under which either party can terminate the contract. Appendix 8 outlines that the manager must follow the rules of relevant football organisations, obey reasonable instructions related to commercial agreements, and resolve any disputes through arbitration or mediation.
K12, T12, T13	10/11 11/12 12/13 13/14 14/15 15/16	Full details of a Player’s remuneration including all benefits to which he is entitled whether in cash or in kind shall be set out in his contract.	A player's contract must clearly list all the payment and benefits they receive
K20, T29, T18, T20	10/11 11/12 12/13 13/14 14/15 15/16	Particulars of any Image Contract Payment in respect of the Player shall be set out in the contract with his Club	Any payments related to a player’s image rights must be clearly detailed in their contract with the club

The first two key rules relate to manager remuneration, and this is specific to the contract of Roberto Mancini. Mancini was the club’s manager from 2009 until 2013, and the allegations center around leaked emails that suggest he was paid £1.75 million annually as a consultancy fee for UAE based club Al Jazira on top of his £1.45 million salary at City.
For his part, Mancini has stated “I have paid my taxes, it's all above board. So I don't think anyone will be in touch” when asked about the case.
The second two rules are player remuneration and relate to Yaya Toure. The League alleges, again based on the leaked emails, that the club did not disclose all payments to the player, and that payments were made via his agent, Dimitri Seluk, during his contract with the club.
Seluk has stated “I know what has been said about Yaya's contract with City - and what I can tell you is that absolutely everything was done very cleanly, very honestly and with full transparency. Nothing was done under the table.”
Toure was at the club from 2010 until 2018. He originally signed a five year deal, before signing a new contract in 2013 taking him up to 2017. He signed his final 1 year deal in 2017. These allegations relate to his first 6 seasons.

Compliance with UEFA regulations

This section simply relates to the wording of the Premier League rules which state that clubs competing in European competitions must comply with UEFA’s rules in addition to the Premier League’s.
The league states:

In respect of each of Seasons 2013/14 to 2017/18 inclusive, the Premier League Rules applicable in those Seasons requiring a member club to comply with UEFA’s regulations, including UEFA’s Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations

Once again I’ve presented them grouped and summarised below:

Rules	Season	Text	Summarised
B14.6, B15.6	13/14 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18	Membership of the League shall constitute an agreement between the League and Clubs and between each Club to be bound by and comply with: - the statutes and regulations of UEFA	Each club agrees to follow the rules and regulations set by UEFA.

This rule breach seemingly relates to the period of time that was not ruled as time barred within UEFA’s case, and is not related to the original settlement between the club and UEFA, but does include the 3 years of the settlement agreement up until UEFA declared City to be compliant. Presumably the Premier League have included these to link to UEFA’s allegations of financial discrepancies related to the Etihad deal. It is unclear how much this could stick, given that CAS ruled that there was insufficient evidence of wrongdoing.
It feels amiss of the Premier League to charge the club with breaches of a rule that had already been thrown out by CAS, so I can only assume that they feel that the club have either breached other rules related to financial fair play, which doesn’t seem to be the case, or they are using the non-cooperation fine handed out by CAS to bring these charges forward.

Compliance with PSR

The Premier League have also charged Man City with breaching profit and sustainability rules. These are the rules that Everton and Nottingham Forest have been docked points for recently and relate to the annual accounts clubs must file to prove their compliance.
The league states:

In respect of each of the Seasons 2015/16 to 2017/18 inclusive, the Premier League Rules applicable in those Seasons on Profitability and Sustainability

I’ve laid these out below, grouped again, and summarised. It should be noted in the below that any reference to T, T-1 and T-2 refers to the current season, previous and 2 seasons before.

Rules	Season	Text	Summarised
E52	15/16	Rules E.53 to E.59 shall apply with effect from Season 2015/16.	The following rules will apply
E53	15/16 16/17 17/18	Each Club shall by 1 March in each Season submit to the Board: 1. copies of its Annual Accounts for T-1 (and T-2 if these have not previously been submitted to the Board) together with copies of the directors’ report(s) and auditors’ report(s) on those accounts; 2. its estimated profit and loss account and balance sheet for T which shall: 2.1. be prepared in all material respects in a format similar to the Club’s Annual Accounts; and 2.2. be based on the latest information available to the Club and be, to the best of the Club’s knowledge and belief, an accurate estimate as at the time of preparation of future financial performance; and 3. if Rule E.56 applies to the Club, the calculation of its aggregated Adjusted Earnings Before Tax for T, T-1 and T-2 in Form 4A	By March 1st each season, each club must submit to the League's Board: Their financial accounts for the previous two years, along with reports from directors and auditors. A forecast of their profit and loss and balance sheet for the current year, ensuring it is up-to-date and accurately reflects expected financial performance. If required, a detailed calculation of their earnings before tax for the current and previous two years
E54	15/16 16/17 17/18	The Board shall determine whether consideration included in the Club’s Earnings Before Tax arising from a Related Party Transaction is recorded in the Club’s Annual Accounts at a Fair Market Value. If it is not, the Board shall restate it to Fair Market Value.	The Board will check if earnings before tax reported in a club's annual accounts from transactions with related parties are valued fairly according to market standards. If they aren't, the Board will adjust these values to reflect the fair market value.
E55	15/16 16/17 17/18	The Board shall not exercise its power set out in Rule E.54 without first having given the Club reasonable opportunity to make submissions as to: 1. whether the said consideration should be restated; and/or 2. what constitutes its Fair Market Value.	Before the Board can adjust any values in a club's financial statements, they must give the club a chance to present their case regarding whether adjustments are necessary and what the fair market value should be.
E56	15/16 16/17 17/18	If the aggregation of a Club’s Earnings Before Tax for T-1 and T-2 results in a loss, any consideration from Related Party Transactions having been adjusted (if appropriate) pursuant to Rule E.54, then the Club must submit to the Board the calculation of its Adjusted Earnings Before Tax for each of T, T-1 and T-2.	If a club's combined earnings before tax for the past two years show a loss, after adjusting any related party transaction values as necessary, the club must then provide the Board with a detailed calculation of its adjusted earnings before tax for each of the three years
E57	15/16 16/17 17/18	If the aggregation of a Club’s Adjusted Earnings Before Tax for T, T-1 and T-2 results in a loss of up to £15m, then the Board shall determine whether the Club will, until the end of T+1, be able to pay its liabilities described in Rule E.14.7.1 and fulfil the obligations set out in Rules E.14.7.2 and E.14.7.3.	If a club's adjusted earnings before tax for the current year and the previous two years total a loss of up to £15 million, the Board will assess whether the club can pay its debts and meet its obligations through the end of the next season as specified in other rules.
E58	15/16 16/17 17/18	If the aggregation of a Club’s Adjusted Earnings Before Tax for T, T-1 and T-2 results in a loss of in excess of £15m then the following shall apply: 1. the Club shall provide, by 31 March in the relevant Season, Future Financial Information to cover the period commencing from its last accounting reference date (as defined in section 391 of the Act) until the end of T+2 and a calculation of estimated aggregated Adjusted Earnings Before Tax until the end of T+2 based on that Future Financial Information; 2. the Club shall provide such evidence of Secure Funding as the Board considers sufficient; and 3. if the Club is unable to provide evidence of Secure Funding as set out in Rule E.58.2, the Board may exercise its powers set out in Rule E.15.	If a club's total adjusted earnings before tax for the current year and the previous two years show a loss greater than £15 million, then the club must: Submit future financial plans and estimated earnings up to two years beyond the current season by March 31st. Provide proof of secure funding as the Board requires. If the club can't show they have secure funding, the Board may take action as outlined in another rule.
E59	15/16 16/17 17/18	If the aggregation of a Club’s Adjusted Earnings Before Tax for T, T-1 and T-2 results in losses of in excess of £105m: 1. the Board may exercise its powers set out in Rule E.15; and 2. the Club shall be treated as being in breach of these Rules and accordingly the Board shall refer the breach to a Commission constituted pursuant to Section W of these Rules.	If a club's total adjusted earnings before tax for the current year and the previous two years show a loss greater than £105 million, then: The Board may use its authority as outlined in Rule E.15. The club will be considered as having broken the rules, and the Board will report this violation to a special Commission as per Section W of the rules.
E60	15/16 16/17 17/18	The sum set out in Rule E.59 shall be reduced by £22m for each Season covered by T-1 and T-2 in which the Club was in membership of The Football League.	If a club was a member of The Football League in the previous two seasons (T-1 and T-2), the amount mentioned in Rule E.59 will be decreased by £22 million for each of those seasons

A lot of this is not specific to anything the club will have breached, and is again a criticism that has been levelled at the Premier League for not being focused enough on charging the club and instead trying to go for as much as possible. Eg rule E52 in the 2015/16 season isn’t really something that would be up for debate, and rule E60, which refers to seasons spent outside the Premier League for adjusting the £105m 3 season PSR limit.
I don’t believe that the club has breached a lot of these rules specifically, and that the Premier League has just grouped PSR as a category together to hit the club with multiple charges. It is likely that the key rule in this section is E54, which discusses related party income and fair market value. This is an important one for City, as the leaked emails have been presented to show the club receiving money from sponsors with funds that have come directly from ADUG, Abu Dhabi United Group, owned by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan and with an 81% stake in the CFG (City Football Group) that comprises the club.
City have always argued that these sponsorships are not related parties, something that has been previously accepted by both the Premier League and UEFA in separate agreements related to PSR and FFP under their rules. It is likely that the key here is whether the emails imply that they should in fact be counted as related parties, and therefore whether they represent fair market value.
For the other rules in this section, it is unlikely that anything of substance will be proven or even sought.

Cooperation with the investigation

In addition to the above 4 sections, which all covered rule breaches related to the hacked emails, the Premier League charged the club with non-cooperation with their investigation. This does not relate to the breaches themselves, and so you will notice that the seasons are all after the Der Spiegel investigation.
The charges are:

In respect of the period from December 2018 to date, the Premier League Rules applicable in the relevant Seasons requiring a member club to cooperate with, and assist, the Premier League in its investigations, including by providing documents and information to the Premier League in the utmost good faith

Grouped and summarised:

Rules	Season	Text	Summarised
B16, B15	18/19 19/20 20/21 21/22 22/23	In all matters and transactions relating to the League each Club shall behave towards each other Club and the League with the utmost good faith.	Act honestly and fairly towards other clubs and the league itself
B19, B18	18/19 19/20 20/21 21/22 22/23	Without prejudice to the League’s powers of inquiry under Rule W.1, each Club shall comply promptly and in full with any request for information made by the League (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such request made pursuant to a demand from a statutory or regulatory authority).	Clubs must quickly and fully respond to any information requests from the League, even if these are prompted by a government or regulatory body's demands
W1	18/19 19/20 20/21 21/22 22/23	The Board shall have power to inquire into any suspected or alleged breach of these Rules and for that purpose may require: 1. any Manager, Match Official, Official or Player to appear before it; and 2. any such person or any Club to produce documents.	The Board has the authority to investigate any suspected or confirmed rule violations. For this, they can: Require managers, match officials, other officials, or players to appear before them. Ask these individuals or any club to provide relevant documents.
W2	18/19 19/20 20/21 21/22 22/23	Any Manager, Match Official, Official or Player who fails to appear before or to produce documents to the Board when required to do so under Rule W.1 shall be in breach of these Rules.	Anybody who does not comply with Rule W.1 is in breach
W12, W15	18/19 19/20 20/21 21/22 22/23	It shall be no answer to a request from the Board to disclose documents or information pursuant to Rule W.1 that such documents or information requested are confidential. All Clubs and Persons subject to these Rules must ensure that any other obligations of confidentiality assumed are made expressly subject to the League’s right of inquiry under these Rules. No Club or Person shall be under an obligation to disclose any documents rendered confidential by either the order of a court of competent jurisdiction or by statute or statutory instrument.	The Board can request documents or information even if they are confidential. However, clubs and individuals are not required to disclose anything that is legally confidential due to a court order or by law. Clubs and individuals should ensure any confidentiality agreements acknowledge the League's right to inquire.
W13, W16	18/19 19/20 20/21 21/22 22/23	All persons who are requested to assist pursuant to Rule W.1 shall provide full, complete and prompt assistance to the Board in its exercise of its power of Inquiry	Anyone asked to help must fully, quickly, and completely help the Board with its investigations.

Three of these are your meat and potatoes non-cooperation charges, which the Premier League will have charged City with for not providing documents when requested. A couple relate specifically to individuals within a club, but otherwise these breaches will be the most likely to stick, similar to how they did at CAS.
Man City have maintained that they do not need to cooperate with the investigation which they state as being based on illegally obtained material and have stated that they do not trust the investigation.
Rules B15, B16 make another appearance relating to acting with the utmost good faith.

When will this hearing take place?

We don’t really know. The panel has been chosen and are presumably deliberating, but as with cases of this size and with so many documents, they take time.
League CEO Richard Masters has recently stated that the case will “Resolve itself soon”, which is badly worded and has led to speculation that the club and league are seeking a way out of the case following the charges being thrown out. This is unlikely, as it would be in the interest of both to end proceedings as quickly as possible.
There have been criticisms towards the Premier League regarding the secrecy around these hearings - it is actually within the Premier League’s rules that these occur in private:
Rules W70 and X25 state: The proceedings of an arbitration convened under this Section (W/X) shall be confidential and shall be conducted in private.

Aren’t Man City just stalling?

Not really, no. The club have been charged with non-cooperation by the Premier League for their initial investigation, but there is nothing the club can do to further postpone the hearing taking place. The time required is simply because of the magnitude and seriousness of the allegations put forward by the league.
The original BBC article alleged that City were “dragging their feet” - but this is not something that stops the league handing out charges, and isn’t something that will change the timeline of the independent panel’s investigation.

Punishments

So let's say that City is found guilty - what are the likely punishments to be? The answer is complicated, as it completely depends on what charges are ultimately determined to be warranted. Talk of points deductions amounting to the thousands are pure hyperbole. The specific breaches agreed by the independent panel will influence the size of any punishment.
Given the seriousness of the allegations - essentially fraud across multiple years involving the club, sponsors, auditors and governing bodies - there must be a high bar of proof. With such a high bar also comes a high punishment if the club is deemed to be guilty. It is entirely possible that a proportionate punishment to such deceit would be expulsion from the league. This would however be the least of the club’s worries, as it brings into question the legality of the breaches with regards to individuals, HMRC and other organisations from which payments may or may not have been withheld or deliberately reported incorrectly.
Some of the above charges do not risk carrying any sort of point based punishment. The non-cooperation charges, for example, would be a monetary fine. It is also very unlikely that the league would seek to remove past titles. The scope and burden of proof that specific breaches directly correlated to titles would be too complicated.
Expulsion from the Premier League would require the club to apply to join another league, the EFL the most likely candidate. It would be at the discretion of the EFL whether they accepted the club into their league structure. Given the size of the club and the need to replace the 20th team in the Premier League, it would be likely that they would agree to include the club in their league system as a space would open up in the Championship.

Can the club appeal a decision?

Yes, there are avenues for appeal. That appeal will not go through CAS, as correctly reported, but would go to another panel. Sections W through to Z of the Premier League rulebook detail different types of appeals and tribunals for varying reasons. Section W is the section specifically referred to in the PSR rules (within section E of the Premier League handbook).

There is no Time Bar though in the Premier League

Well, kind of. There is no time bar specifically mentioned in the rules. The Premier League handbook, which you can read at https://www.premierleague.com/about/publications,does state (Rule A7) that “these Rules shall be governed by and shall be construed in accordance with English law. Strictly without prejudice to the arbitration and other dispute resolution provisions of these Rules, disputes relating to these Rules shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.”.
Essentially this means that any rules follow English Law, which itself does state a time bar for cases. This is typically 6 years for most cases, with some differences based on specific situations.
In the case of fraud this can vary, and may be the avenue that the Premier League tries to go down (which itself makes the evidence required to prove the case more stringent). For fraud cases, English Law states:

Time bar of 6 years from the date cause of action accrued
Or, if the cause of action is deliberately concealed, 6 years from when the fraud is, or with reasonable diligence would have been, discovered.
Should this be the route the Premier League has chosen then there will have to be a discussion to determine what period of time the charges can be applied to.

What about the length of grass?

There was never a charge about the length of grass. Such narrative about what the charges were came from initial analysis by people using incorrect versions of the Premier League handbook (as the rules change from year to year slightly, and those rules shift in their assignment. This is is why I have grouped them as such in the above tables). All charges relate to financial issues and non-cooperation in the league's subsequent investigation.

What about the Cease and Desist?

Rumours began last week that the club had issued cease and desist letters to individuals and organisations within the public domain related to the charges. As of yet there has been no evidence that anybody has received such a letter (although you’d question why they would publicise receiving one in the first place). It should be made clear that any cease and desist that may have been received by anybody would not prevent them from discussing the charges with which the league have brought on City. Any cease and desist letter is a demand that the recipient stops any activity considered to be unlawful - eg. in the case of this case it would be accusations levelled at the club that are not true. Examples would be the club being called cheats because they’ve done specific things that have not been proven to be true like a false statement or libel.

Can’t we just dock points now like Everton and Nottingham Forest?

Not really, no. Cases of this magnitude take time to deliberate and cross examine. There is no quick way of dealing with such a large case. The Everton and Nottingham Forest cases, by comparison, are simple breaches that can be quantified by simply looking at the submitted accounts, which for both clubs show losses that are above the agreed amount in Rule E53 of the Premier League handbook (and Rule E54 in Nottingham Forest’s case due to their recent promotion that reduced their allowable losses).
Neither club claimed to have not breached these rules, but merely tried to argue the case that their losses were due to mitigating circumstances, which the Premier League did not agree with.
Anybody questioning why analysis of so many historical charges takes longer than clear individual breaches shown on a balance sheet needs to consider whether they want a case to be resolved quickly, or whether they want it to be resolved properly, as the two are mutually exclusive.

Who wins?

Ultimately nobody wins. Reputational damage is guaranteed for either Manchester City or the Premier League depending on the outcome. It can also be argued that enough reputational damage has already been dealt to both organisations. This is often why a settlement is seen as a preferred option, as there is no long drawn out saga. The club have remained steadfast and stubborn insisting that there is no grounds for the charges and that they are innocent on all accounts. The league have been criticised for their handling of the matter and for other PSR breaches recently and don’t seem to be keen to back down in this case either.
There was also the accusation that the league had rushed through presenting the charges in order to disrupt the introduction of an independent regulator by the Government and to prove that it can govern itself. That has largely failed as the IFR (Independent football regulator) looks likely to be going ahead.
The best case scenario for the club is being cleared of all charges - unlikely due to the presence of those non-cooperation charges - a win for the club, but there will be large question marks over the Premier League’s handling, the time taken, the accuracy of the verdict and the secrecy involved. The club will also have suffered reputational damage up to this point, particularly from sections of the football fraternity who have already made their mind up.
The best case scenario for the league is trickier - it doesn’t want to be seen to be a light touch, but conversely it doesn’t want to be triggering the sort of chaos that points deductions and league expulsions might have on one of its most successful clubs of the last decade. In some ways, the league has already lost.

Closing Thoughts

There will be details that I have glossed over for brevity - there is a lot more information in some of the linked documents plus the Premier League handbooks that provides a lot more important context.
I hope the above proves useful to anybody interested in the finer details of the situation, but appreciate that it is probably beyond the scope of the kind of person who posts 115 memes and gets agitated by the lack of discussion around the charges.
There may be inaccuracies. If you spot anything then please let me know and I will make a quick amendment.
TL;DR
Shits complicated Bro

Moin Leute, wo ersteigern die Händler ihre Fahrzeuge? Es gibt durchaus Plattformen, von denen ich nichts weis.
Sicherlich sind diese nur für Gewerbetreibende zugänglich, wäre allerdings kein Problem, da selbstständig. Gibt es weitere Voraussetzungen?
Hintergrund: Ich suche seit über einem Jahr nach DEM passenden Fahrzeug (Mercedes GL 320 oder 350 CDI). Immer wieder sehe ich Fahrzeuge, die entweder, runter gerockt sind und einen Haufen Geld kosten, einfach überteuert sind oder eine absolute Leiche ist und trotzdem noch zu viel kostet oder wie in der gestrigen Besichtigung festgestellt: Fahrzeug ist am Tacho gedreht. 🤡
Bin nun mal nicht bereit für ein vergleichbaren Fahrzeug, welches EZ 2010 und über 200k km auf dem Tacho hat, 16-18.000 Euro auszugeben…
EDIT: Mir ist bewusst, dass Garantien usw ausgeschlossen sind. Was ich gemerkt habe ist, dass die Händler immer die guten Fahrzeuge im Verkauf haben. Wie gesagt, so viel Geld für ein altes Fahrzeug bin ich nicht bereit.

Ich bin offen für alle Genres. Welche Filme würdet ihr mir basierend auf diesen Favoriten vorschlagen? Danke im Voraus!
Oder gibt es mittlerweile schon eine schlaue Website in die ich die Liste einfügen kann und es mir vorschläge ausspuckt, denn bisher waren die immer eher Reinfälle.

Hi liebe Autoliebhaber
Ich überlege mir einen Jaguar XK, Baujahr 2010 oder neuer mit dem 385 PS 5.0L V8, zu kaufen, entweder zu Ende des Jahres oder Anfang nächsten Jahres. Ich wollte mich über gewöhnliche Probleme und Reparaturen informieren, bevor ich eine beträchtliche Summe für ein Auto ausgebe was dann entweder mein nächstes Daily oder mein Zweitwagen für Wochenenden und andere Trips werden soll. Zurzeit fahre ich einen BMW E46 330i Touring mit 5-Gang-Schaltgetriebe, was auch mein Daily ist.
Bei meinen Recherche bin ich auf zwei Probleme gestoßen, die bei den 5L-Motoren, insbesondere bei vorfacelift Modellen, einen finanziellen Totalschaden herrichten würden. Die Wasserpumpe kann kaputt gehen und den Motor stark beschädigen bzw. überhitzen lassen; oder die Steuerkette fällt aus oder verursacht andere Probleme im Motor. Was das Fahrwerk angeht, habe ich bisher nur gesehen, dass die Dämpfer oder die Buchsen evtl. schlecht sein könnten, mehr Details habe ich aber nicht. Kennt jemand andere mögliche Probleme, die mir zukommen könnten?
Ich bin auch auf ein besonders günstiges Exemplar gestoßen (20500€), das bis vor kurzem überhaupt keine Probleme hatte. Letzte Woche wurde der Preis jedoch von 24000€ auf aktuell 20500€ gesenkt. Der Grund dafür ist, dass der Zylinder 8 eine niedrige Kompression von 7,5 bar hat. Das ist offenbar passiert, nachdem der Händler das Auto leergefahren hat. Das allein deutet für mich nicht darauf hin, dass etwas mit dem Motorblock nicht stimmt oder der Kolben kaputt ist; Saugmotoren verlieren nicht einfach ohne Grund die Kompression. Könnte es ein einfacher Fall von defekten Einspritzdüsen sein (wodurch das Öl an den Zylinderwänden weggespült wird) oder einfach nur Kraftstoffmangel? Könnte es sogar eine schlechte Kopfdichtung/Ventildeckeldichtung sein? Zumindest der E46 ist dafür bekannt, dass sie dadurch niedrige Kompression bekommen (unter anderem). Was sind die typischen Zylinderkompressionswerte für einen Jag XK? Bisher ich habe nur gelesen, dass der niedrigste Wert innerhalb von 10% des höchsten Wertes/Durchschnitts der anderen Zylinder liegen muss, oder so ähnlich.
Jede Hilfe oder Hinweis wäre toll! Vielen Dank und noch einen schönen Tag!

PC, web browser game
GENRE Not a clue how to define, it was definitely a multplayer roleplaying game but not in the traditional sense of an MMORPG.
year of release: 2009-2014 I remember playing it around 2010-2012, but I can't promise thats the most accurate of estimates
Graphics/art style: 3D, low quality old flash game graphics, nothing high res. 3rd person camera. This could be wrong, but i remember asides from the plasticy tunnels you rolled around in there was a massive sky blue skybox. Maybe there was a green baseplate you started on and rolled upwards towards the maze.
Notable characters: Hamster, in a ball.
Notable gameplay mechanics: I recall there being a huge maze of hamster tunnels, like those plastic toys that you get for your hamsters to explore in but end up being a pain in the ass to clean. I believe there were spots you could fall out of the tunnel into a huge basic blue skybox. Nothing asides from the tunnels but skybox.
Other details: I remember being big into bin weevils at the time, whenever the popularity for that game peaked in the 2010s is likely when this game was around. If i recall right, most of the tubes were different colors and branched off from each other, kinda like a regular newspaper maze puzzle but in 3d.
