German WaGs ordered by Clubs 2018/2019

Hallo,

hier nun erstmal eine grobe Übersicht über alle deutschstämmigen Spieler und ihre Freundinnen! :)

Folgende vier Kriterien habe ich berücksichtigt, als ich die Liste erstellt habe:

1. Spieler MUSS die deutsche Staatsangehörigkeit haben bzw. als erste Angabe bei Transfermarkt

2. Der Spieler muss Jahrgang 1996 oder älter sein...

3. ... bereits einen gewissen Bekanntheitsgrad erlangt haben oder Marktwert bei jünger als 1996 (Bsp: Christian Früchtl)

4. In der Liste befinden sich aus anderen Ligen nur Spieler die ich bereits aus der Bundesliga oder Nationalmannschaft kenne. Gleiches gilt für 2. Bundesliga (welche auf Wunsch ergänzt wird)

[borussiadortmundfamilies]

Zu der Umfrage: Das ist aber häufiger so. dass die Wags besonders beliebt sind, die natürlicher sind bzw. die nicht dem klassischen Spielerfrauen-Klischee entsprechen, die berufstätig (also einen "richtigen" Beruf haben) sind und die nicht so omnipräsent sind. Auf anderen Wag-blogs gewannen bislang bspw. Lisa Höwedes, Jessica Kroos, usw. Zudem ist das Ergebnis immer abhängig von der Klientel des blogs...

Die finde ich aber auch sympathisch:)

Die Wunschliste

Vor 2 1/2 Jahren hab ich ein neues Projekt begonnen - das Wunschprojekt. Dafür habe ich Wünsche gesammelt und sie nach und nach geschrieben. Jetzt, wo der 100. Wunsch einging, beschloss ich, die Liste endlich mal zu schließen. (Manche Zahlen kommen doppelt vor, weil ich am Anfang anders gerechnet habe, deshalb sind es eiiigentlich 102 Wünsche...)

Hier kommt die fertige Liste. 1002 Wünsche. Und ich hab noch was dabei - nämlich wieder eine Umfrage :D Ich wüsste nämlich gerne, was von den nicht geschriebenen Wünschen überhaupt noch relevant ist. Jeder Wunsch, der mindestens eine Stimme bekommt, bleibt auf der Liste, alle anderen werden gestrichen - und machen vllt Platz für neue Wünsche?

Ap

Ap draagt een gebreide trui en de gerafelde rode sjaal die hij vijf jaar geleden hier, aan Jotie’s koffietafel, mocht uitpakken. Hij slaat het versleten stuk stof nog eens om zijn nek, rode pluizen blijven kleven aan zijn vingertoppen. Gulzig drinkt hij rode wijn uit een mok, terwijl het gesprek om hem heen oplaait als een warm haardvuur. Ze zijn met zijn vieren, zoals ieder jaar. Lisa, Claire en hij zitten op de bank. Jotie staat in de keuken en roert door een lichtgroene soep die lijkt op kroos. Elk jaar opnieuw is er courgettesoep en dan gebakken aardappels met kip en groenten. Er is chocola toe, en zo hoort het. Ap wil niet anders dan hun studentenkerst. “Als ik volgend jaar als promovendus begin,” kondigt Jotie aan, al zwaaiend met de soeplepel, zodat de kroossoep alle kanten uit vliegt, “heb ik een kantoor met een koffiezetapparaat en moeten jullie allemaal koffie komen drinken.” “Ik kom geen koffie bij jou drinken als ik in de Randstad woon, man. Al helemaal niet in dat pretentieuze hok van je,” bromt Lisa, en Ap glimlacht. Hij heeft geen promotieplek, of een toekomstige baan in de Randstad, maar het is behaaglijk in huis en de waxinelichtjes op tafel wakkeren de warmte in zijn hoofd verder aan. Hij heft zijn mok naar niemand in het bijzonder en drinkt. “Zie hem genieten,” grijnst Jotie. Zijn tanden zijn al rood van de goedkope wijn die ze die avond in grote hoeveelheden zullen wegtikken. “Je bent er één, Ap.” Hij deelt kommen soep uit en gaat in de stoel tegenover de bank zitten. “Wat zijn eigenlijk jouw plannen?” wil hij weten. “Is jouw buluitreiking niet binnenkort? Moeten we in pak? Ik ga niet in pak, hoor.” Ap kijkt naar de kom op zijn schoot. “Ik ben gestopt,” zegt hij, en neemt een flinke hap soep. Die smaakt hem goed. De blikken die hij krijgt smaken hem minder. “Ja, zeg,” mompelt hij. “Ik word toch geen promovendus, of communicatieprofessional in de Randstad.” Hij haalt zijn schouders op en de sjaal glijdt van zijn nek. Misschien is het tijd voor een nieuwe. Lisa staart hem aan. “Je scriptie was af. Je hoefde alleen nog de kritiek te verwerken. Je kunt niet zomaar stoppen.” Haar woorden laten geen ruimte voor discussie. Hoe durft hij zijn toekomst zomaar om zeep te helpen? Het is stil geworden om Ap heen, maar hij eet zijn studentenkerstdiner en warmt zich aan de wijn. Nu staat de tijd nog stil. Volgend jaar zullen ze niet meer met zijn vieren om Jotie’s koffietafel zitten. “Wat ga je dan doen?” vraagt Claire. Ap zet zwijgend zijn lege soepkom op tafel en vult zijn mok bij. Met zijn wijsvinger vist hij een rode pluis uit zijn wijn. “Misschien koop ik wel een nieuwe sjaal,” zegt hij. Niemand lacht, ook Ap zelf niet. Een nieuwe sjaal wil hij voorlopig helemaal niet. Hij wil gewoon nog een kom kroossoep. Hij wil rode tanden van de wijn. Zo hoort het immers.

Endsieg - Distrito Rosenheim

read it on AO3 at http://bit.ly/2DP93Pb

by Jackmour

Em um período tão conturbado quanto a Segunda Guerra Mundial, no auge do poderio bélico e político do Terceiro Reich, o Führer tem seus alcances cada vez mais largos. Uma das suas cartadas, os Institutos Nacionais de Educação Política, a partir de 1933 caem rapidamente no gosto dos mais distintos oficiais nazis que vislumbram futuros brilhantes para seus filhos; jovens que servirão diretamente a Hitler e formarão as tropas de elite do regime Nazista. No verão de 1943 entre os novos ingressos, há um tímido garoto de Gelsenkirchen, Manuel Neuer, um rapaz de 17 anos que é convidado a ingressar na NPEA de Neubeuern, no distrito Rosenheim, o que para ele é a chance de mudar de vida. Nesta estadia em meio a rígida disciplina nazista, as contradições surgem e é colocado em pauta sua ética, obediência, lealdade e uma amizade que se desenvolve sob os próprios termos com o jovem Jungmann Müller. Lá fora a guerra prossegue e dizima milhares, tornando cada vez mais necessário soldados dispostos a dar a própria vida pelo Estado. O front é então a única opção.

15 TO WATCH/5 SPORTS TECH/POWER OF SPORTS 5: RICK HORROW’S TOP SPORTS/BIZ/TECH/PHILANTHROPY ISSUES FOR THE WEEK OF JULY 2

with Jamie Swimmer & Jesse Leeds Grant

It just got a lot harder to procure a Los Angeles Lakers ticket. In a reported $154 million 4-year deal – and the only sporting news that could supplant the World Cup at the top of the ticker – 4-time NBA MVP LeBron James used Instagram Stories to announce to the world that he is taking his talents to Los Angeles. James, 33, is leaving the Cavaliers for the second time. In contrast to his new Lakers deal, Cavs owner Dan Gilbert has paid James $136.6 million in total for his 11 seasons in Cleveland. The Cavaliers, according to ESPN, required everyone with floor seats at the Q to sign deals last February that would lock them in for the next three seasons – a now “let the buyer beware” moment for fans whose team now has 500-1 odds of winning a title. The Lakers deal also makes sense for James, who already owns a home in Los Angeles, as he and longtime business partner Maverick Carter delve deeper into television and film production, not to mention music, fashion, and other cultural and commercial ventures that will now be clamoring for his touch.

As the World Cup enjoys strong ratings as the first knockout stage matches unfold, Russia has increased its government subsidies for the tournament by $13 million amid concerns over the legacy of the global event. According to the Los Angeles Times, two government orders combine to allocate an extra $7.6 million for temporary World Cup infrastructure and $5.3 million more to the state company responsible for stadium maintenance, bringing Russia’s total World Cup spending to around $10.7 billion. However, analysis by Russian business news outlet RBK has put the total spending closer to $14 billion (including some key spending on infrastructure). Based on “who’s doing the counting, that makes it either the most expensive or second-most expensive World Cup, with some estimates putting spending for the 2014 tournament in Brazil at more than $15 billion.” With two thrilling overtime matches and the host nation upsetting Spain, the first slate of the World Cup’s Round of 16 didn’t disappoint. Even the loss of revenue from thousands of Spanish fans now headed home couldn’t quell the excitement in Moscow.

On the ground in Russia, the World Cup continues on into the knockout stages without much of a hitch. Leading up to the month-long tournament in Russia, a majority of the media’s attention was being directed toward political feuds between countries and away from the action on the field. In reality, that picture could not be more different. Despite a lack of English that is spoken throughout the country, free game day transportation has been easy to use and has run smoothly, while public safety has been a key focus for the hosts. Local and foreign bands of hooligans – ones that were projected to have a looming negative impact on the tournament – have hardly been seen in between the constant mix of police officers that line the streets at all hours. In all, Russia and its people have acted as open and gracious hosts to all people alike, regardless of one’s background or ethnicity. By and large, extreme sportsmanship has been the rule at this World Cup – setting the bar high for Qatar in 2022 and North America in 2026.

With the Round of 16 set for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Germany, the defending champions, were sent home early. According to the New York Times, Germany were knocked out of this year’s tournament following a humiliating 2-0 defeat to South Korea in Kazan. After dropping their opening match to Mexico 1-0, it took a superb extra-time goal from Toni Kroos against Sweden to earn the Germans their first three points of the group stage. This now marks the “first time since 1938 that Germany has failed to advance from the first round of the World Cup,” and the fourth time in the last five World Cup’s that the defending champions have failed to even make it out of the group stage. No team has repeated as world champions since Brazil did so in 1962, showing how tough it is to sustain such a level of success on the global sporting stage.

Major League Baseball, Minor League Baseball, and the United States Conference of Mayors announced that more than 300 Mayors from all 50 United States and Puerto Rico will host youth-focused, baseball, and softball events in their communities through the end of August. The events, part of the “Play Ball Summer” joint effort, mark the first time in the history of the initiative that mayors from all 50 states have pledged their support. Said MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred, “The partnership with the U.S. Conference of Mayors is a significant factor for the success of our Play Ball initiative. The central focus of our effort has always been to engage communities that love our game with opportunities for young people to participate in baseball and softball activities. By reaching all 50 states and Puerto Rico, Play Ball has truly become a national movement. We thank all the Mayors for their extraordinary commitment.” I’ve been involved with the U.S. Conference of Mayors Professional Sports Alliance for nearly a decade now, and achieving this level of involvement with the Play Ball initiative is one of our proudest accomplishments to date.

As Wimbledon opens, apparel brands prepare their athletes for tennis’ biggest catwalk. Serena Williams, coming in as a 25 seed thanks to a decision by the All-England Club to protect her ranking after childbirth, will wear Nike on court but will also show off her first proprietary fashion collection, called “Serena,” which debuted in May. According to Women’s Wear Daily, the line is being sold exclusively on Williams’ website, and the first collection ranges in price from $35-250. Nike will "continue to provide outfits for Roger Federer" at Wimbledon "despite ongoing speculation" that Federer is set for a sponsorship change to Japanese brand Uniqlo, according to the London Express. Rumors of the 20-time grand slam champ debuting a new 10-year deal with Uniqlo that has been valued at $30 million have been "dampened for now, with Federer's all-white Wimbledon outfit revealed to be made by Nike.” And London-based skate label Palace, finally, has partnered with Adidas to "create a court-ready collection" for Wimbledon. The collection "debuts globally" on Tuesday; Sascha Zverev, Garbiñe Muguruza, and Caroline Wozniacki will be among the "38 sponsored athletes who will wear the new label to compete at Wimbledon." In the latest edition of the Forbes highest paid athletes list, Federer is credited with $65 million per year in endorsements alone — padded, of course, by Nike.

The latest major sports and entertainment crossover premieres, as “Uncle Drew,” starring Kyrie Irving and Shaquille O’Neal, hits theaters nationwide. Uncle Drew got his fictional start as a Pepsi ad. Celtics guard Kyrie Irving "stars in the Pepsi commercial-turned-feature film about a down-on-his-luck basketball coach (Lil Rel Howery), who enlists basketball legend Uncle Drew (Irving) to recruit a group of septuagenarian former ballers to play in Harlem’s Rucker Classic street ball tournament." The comedy "features a mashup of athletes and comedians," including Shaquille O'Neal, Reggie Miller, Chris Webber, Nate Robinson, and Lisa Leslie. The Chicago Tribune notes that, as "corny and predictable as it is, and even with a tsunami of product placement," the movie "works." In Utah, the Deseret News writes that for a movie "inspired by a TV commercial, that's a pretty noble achievement.” In a weekend hijacked by NBA headlines, “Uncle Drew” performed better than expected, grossing $6.1 million on Friday from 2,742 locations. That led to a "projected" $16-17 million, including $1.1 million in previews. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the film was expected to open in the $10-13 million range.

Gaming streams outdraw most cable programs as nearly 9 million watch Friday Fortnite. According to JohnWallStreet, more than 8.8 million unique viewers live-streamed Week 4 of Friday Fortnite, an invite-only esports tournament for prize money hosted by well-known streamers and sponsored by UMG; making it the most-watched gaming competition to date. To put that figure in perspective, 5.3 million people tuned into coverage of the first round of 2018 NFL Draft, the 2017 MLB LCS averaged 6.3 million viewers, 7.9 million people watched the season finale of AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” and the second most watched NBA Conference Finals in 16 years drew just over 9 million fans. Moving forward, it’s expected that esports/gaming competitions will continue to regularly outdraw traditional television programming: Statista projects the number of gaming viewers worldwide to reach 743 million people by 2019, up +22% from 609 million in 2016. Dismiss esports at your peril – there’s a reason why sports leagues, teams, brands, athletes and communities alike are making multi-billion dollar investments in the growth market.

The PGA Tour could be facing a multi-million dollar problem thanks to new legislation brought to the U.S. Senate by Joni Ernst (R-IA) and Angus King (I-ME). The bill hopes to address the tax loophole that allows the Tour, along with other pro sports leagues, to enjoy tax-exempt status. The Properly Reducing Overexemptions for Sports Act (PRO Sports Act) hopes to strip the Tour and other leagues of their 501(c)(6) status, resulting in an estimated $100 million in federal tax revenue over the next 10 years. “Professional sports leagues – which are raking in millions of dollars from television rights and membership dues – shouldn’t also be scoring a hole-in-one with their taxes,” Senator Ernst is quoted on her website. This isn’t the first time the Tour and its fellow pro sports leagues have been targeted for their tax-exempt status. Most recently, the Senate Tax Bill included language that hoped to accomplish a similar goal, only to have the PGA Tour pull out all the stops to lobby against it – Jack Nicklaus and Davis Love III traveled to Washington D.C. to meet with legislators, and eventually had the damning language removed from the bill.

Rhode Island has become the fourth state in the U.S. to legalize sports gambling. According to JohnWallStreet, Governor Gina Raimondo legalized such activity after signing a bill that ensures 51% of all sports gambling profits go to the state. Sports gambling was only made legal at land-based casinos, meaning that mobile or internet wagering is still illegal for now. Twin River Worldwide Holdings, a privately held company, currently owns two casinos in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the country, with one set to open in September. Legal betting is expected to begin on October 1. While the state acted quickly on this issue, it will be missing out on a significant amount of potential revenue and profit by choosing to keep mobile and internet wagering illegal; “in fact, [the casino is] unlikely to even hit budget projections.” “Governor Raimondo’s budget projects $23.5 million in revenue over the first 12 months. To generate that amount, the state’s two sportsbooks would have to generate +/- $900 million in wagers; that won’t happen.” The Ocean Resort casino in Atlantic City was also quick to capitalize on the groundswell of legal sports wagering interest when its sports book officially opened on Thursday, creating instant PR when the actor Mark Wahlberg arrived to place bets on the Browns, the Eagles, and his beloved Patriots.

11.Former Pittsburgh Steelers investor and incoming Carolina Panthers Owner David Tepper has decided to buy out all of the Panthers’ remaining limited partners. According to SportsBusiness Journal, Tepper was first given the choice to only buy out Jerry Richardson’s 48% stake in the NFL franchise, though he will now pick up the option to purchase the remaining 52% from all of the existing team limited partners and own the entire club outright. The decision to do so comes with a hefty price, for Tepper’s purchase value for the Panthers sits at $2.275 billion. The businessman noted his development plans for the area as a primary reason for buying out all of the other partners. “I’m trying to determine the development I want to have in the community,” said Tepper. “So the more development there is in the community, it might make it more difficult to have minority partners.” Tepper’s deal is reportedly set to close in less than two weeks, a testament to both the new Panthers owner’s financial and reputational stability and the NFL’s eagerness to put the Richardson era behind them – the NFL just fined Richardson $2.75 million for workplace misconduct following a lengthy investigation.

12.The Las Vegas Golden Knights have filed a complaint against ticket resale site StubHub over a dispute about playoff ticket sales. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the complaint states that StubHub, the Golden Knights’ exclusive secondary-ticketing site during their inaugural NHL season, owes the team almost $1.5 million in Stanley Cup Playoff ticket sales profits. According to the lawsuit, StubHub "sent a message to customers March 13 – before the Golden Knights clinched a playoff spot – that said: ‘Sell your Golden Knights playoff tickets, cover your season ticket cost.’” The team said it “was not given any advance notice by StubHub” about this communication and “would have expressly objected to it.” After the Golden Knights clinched a playoff spot, season ticket holders were encouraged to stick with the “Knights Vow,” a promotion offered by the club in which fans agreed not to sell their tickets, keeping T-Mobile Arena packed with predominantly Golden Knights supporters. While disguised as a home team benefit, the Golden Knights’ policy was clearly aimed at keeping the bulk of ticket revenue in their pockets, hamstringing fans from profiting.

13.The NFL is known for its strict rules surrounding player behavior on and off the field, but the league could be missing out on some major positive publicity in disallowing Kansas City Chiefs guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif from having an “M.D.” added to his jersey. According to Bleacher Report, Duvernay-Tardif recently graduated from medical school at McGill University in Canada, earning him the title of Doctor. He is the first active NFL player to earn a medical degree, having completed his course work during multiple offseasons while keeping up his physical shape. The league lets players put “Sr.” or “Jr.” next to their names, but rejected Duvernay-Tardif’s request to have “M.D” alongside his. The decision to let him add the two letters would only go toward promoting education across the league and would likely pull attention away from the league’s ongoing anthem issues. Instead, the NFL is sticking to its core values as a league that will not deviate from its path, even for the benefit of its players.

Bellator MMA and DAZN are teaming up on a joint venture to challenge UFC. According to JohnWallStreet, the new partnership will go toward promoting 22 fight cards annually, both live and on-demand, with seven of those exclusively being streamed to the standalone OTT provider. Financials for the multi-year deal have not yet been released, though DAZN is said to have committed more than $1 billion. UFC recently signed its own streaming rights deal with ESPN+, giving the new OTT provider 32 fights per year as part of a 5-year, $150 million per year contract. “The first Bellator fight night broadcast on DAZN will be September 29, with the main event featuring middleweight champion Gegard Mousasi against welterweight champion Rory MacDonald; former UFC fighters Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson and Wanderlei Silva are also fighting on the card.” Former ESPN President John Skipper was hired last month to lead DAZN, which currently operates across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Japan, and Canada, with the U.S. and Italy debuting later this year.

In the wake of the 2018 NBA Draft, the G-League, formerly the D-League, is becoming a more attractive option for NCAA underclassmen and high school prospects. According to JohnWallStreet, the G-League’s increased salary, up to $35,000 from just $19,000, combined with the extensive training and exposure that players are given, has resulted in more young athletes making the jump from high school and college. This past draft class featured 79 underclassmen and 12 international players, and with only 60 players drafted in total, that means hundreds will pursue free agency in hopes of landing an NBA or, more realistically, G-League roster spot. Back in April, highly-touted high school prospect and Syracuse University commit Darius Bazley elected to forgo college and international basketball to join the G-League. While salaries are low at the bottom, it remains possible to make quite a bit of money from being a two-way player in the G-League; last year the NBA added roster spots for two-way players, those designated to split time between the leagues, with salaries up to $385,000 per season.

CBS extends partnership with the NFL to include mobile streaming. The NFL and CBS announced an expansion of their streaming agreement. The deal includes game streaming access via mobile devices for CBS All Access and paid TV subscribers. Through 2017, mobile streaming rights had previously been exclusive to Verizon. “We are excited to extend our partnership with CBS as it aligns perfectly with our goal of providing NFL fans with greater opportunities to watch NFL games across digital devices,” said Hans Schroeder, Chief Operating Officer of NFL Media and Business, in a statement. “The 2018 season will mark a new era for NFL fans with unprecedented access to NFL games across digital platforms.” Every NFL on CBS game will be available to fans on mobile, including Super Bowl LIII next February. Subscribers with services like Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, and Android TV will also be able to stream the games.

DraftKings selects Kambi to provide sports betting technology. Daily fantasy sports operator DraftKings has identified European technology provider Kambi as the supplier of its new single-game sports betting product. Three weeks ago, DraftKings announced a sports betting partnership with Atlantic City’s Resorts Casino Hotel which followed last month’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling striking down the federal betting ban. But neither party offered any insight into where DraftKings would be getting its new sports betting technology. Now, Kambi Group PLC has announced that it has entered into a “sportsbook agreement” to “provide technology and services” to DraftKings. While the partnership will start in New Jersey, the “multi-year” deal allows for the possibility of an expanded partnership “when commercially agreeable regulatory frameworks are implemented” in other U.S. states. Kambi believes the DraftKings partnership could be lucrative in the long run, but the impact on its 2018 revenue will be “difficult to predict” due to the notoriously glacial pace of U.S. regulatory change.

SpokeHub pursues social engagement with STATS Insights. STATS, a leader in sports data and intelligence, and SpokeHub announced a new partnership to bring STATS Insights to SpokeHub’s social engagement platform, connecting worldwide World Cup fans with more impactful content. STATS Insights leverages more than 37 years of research experience to deliver deep historical and comparative statistical insights, play-by-play descriptions, and in-game trends based on events as they happen in a match.

During the game, live Insights will deliver trends on players and teams based on in-game events, statistics, and milestones. “No sporting event gets global attention like the World Cup, and every fan is looking for deeper analysis around their favorite teams and players,” said Mike Rodriguez, Vice President of Account Management at STATS. “STATS Insights taps into our extensive historical database to uncover stories many fans may be missing.”

Pro golfer Charley Hoffman has announced a partnership with Halo Neuroscience. The company makes the Halo Sport wearable, which is designed to directly stimulate an athlete’s motor cortex with an electrical current and promises to aid in learning movements and strength. Halo Sport looks like a pair of noise canceling headphones, but has three sets of foam spikes beneath the headband. The spikes help transmit an electrical current from the device to the motor cortex of a user’s brain. Used during a workout, the transcranial direct current stimulation is intended to induce a hyperplastic state in the brain. The connections can improve muscle control and even boost the recruitment of muscle fibers, effectively increasing strength. “I heard about Halo Sport when it first came out, and started using the device on my own to improve my golf game,” said Hoffman. “I noticed an immediate improvement in my ball speed when practicing. I believe we can work together to ensure golfers know how their brain can help them learn skills faster and better.”

PARC mouthguard helps track athlete fatigue through saliva. Scientists at PARC, a research and development company owned by Xerox, are busy developing a mouthguard that could help athletes understand their physiology during exercise and better inform their training. A lot can be learned from blood. Lactate, for example, is normally measured in blood, and can indicate exercise intensity. And there is a high correlation between the amount of lactate in blood and in saliva. PARC’s idea was to create a mouthguard with the ability to measure saliva, resulting in an understanding of physiological conditions without the invasive nature of blood tests. To realize that, PARC sought help from NextFlex and the University of California, San Diego. NextFlex, which receives funding from the federal government, is a manufacturer focused on flexible hybrid electronics. Its role in the project was to enhance the manufacturability and usability of the device. “The idea was to add in a rechargeable battery, wireless charging, improve the wireless communication, improve the form factor, and make it so it can really be integrated into a mouthguard in a way that looks and acts like any standard mouthguard,” said Scott Miller, Director of Strategic Program for NextFlex.

Coalition – a group of Sacramento community leaders organized to support transformational change for black communities. As cryptocurrency continues to grow in popularity, the MiningForGood program can serve as a blueprint for large organizations and businesses to embrace emerging platforms as an engine for social change.

Houston Astros player selling shirts for charity. Astros infielder/outfielder Tony Kemp has taken his "Hugs for Homers" campaign to new levels by helping get T-shirts made that depict him in the arms of slugger Evan Gattis. Kemp has started hugging Gattis after home runs, and considering there is a rather large size difference between the two men, Gattis essentially picks up Kemp. "Hugs for Homers" was born. "People are saying Gattis got hot because of the whole hugs thing," Kemp joked. "He's swinging the bat well. All the proceeds are going to the Astros Youth Academy, it's going to be good for the kids who maybe can't afford the baseball equipment." The shirts are $25, with proceeds going to the Houston Astros Youth Academy. "Ever since I was little, I wanted to have a shirt to go to a charity," Kemp said. "It feels good it's actually out there." More than 500 shirts have already been sold.

Ian Desmond donates $29,000 to charity. Colorado Rockies player Ian Desmond and his family pledged $1,000 for every RBI and run scored during the month of May. After scoring 14 times and driving in 15 runs that month, Desmond presented a $29,000 check to the Children's Tumor Foundation in a pregame ceremony at Coors Field. The month of May is Neurofibromatosis (NF) Awareness Month. NF is a genetic disorder that causes tumors to form on nerve tissue in the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. About one in 3,000-4,000 people have the disorder. The Children's Tumor Foundation's mission is to drive research, expand knowledge of, and advance care for the NF community. Desmond first became informed about NF in 2012. Last year, he gave $16,000 to the foundation, and he plans to continue making future donations. "When I'm in stadiums around the country and people are like, 'Hey, I've got NF,' or, 'Thanks for what you do for NF,' you realize that one in 3,000 is much more common than you think," Desmond said.

NHL stars hit home runs for charity – Former Kelowna Rockets players Josh Gorges, Blake Comeau, and Luke Schenn will put their star power behind the HOMEBASE slow-pitch fundraiser charity tournament. Proceeds from the tournament support the KGH Foundation’s campaign to build JoeAnna’s House, a home away from home for families of patients traveling to Kelowna General Hospital for advanced medical care. “We are very competitive, and we do want to win for bragging rights,” Gorges said. “This is our home, this city and community has given us so much. We are very fortunate in what we do that we are able to give back in any way we can.” Every player who strikes out will donate $200 to JoeAnna’s House. “Hopefully we don’t have any strike outs but if we do it’s a good way to raise a little bit more money,” Comeau said. The mission of JoeAnna’s House is to provide much needed shelter, housing, and support services and to build partnerships across the community through faith groups, service organizations, government, and other youth service providers working to meet the needs of homeless and at-risk youth.

76ers foundation donates renovated basketball court. The Philadelphia 76ers and the Sixers Youth Foundation, along with Philadelphia City Council President Darrell L. Clarke, Village of Arts & Humanities, LISC Philadelphia, and Parks & Recreation hosts a ribbon-cutting block party for a revitalized basketball court in the Hartranft section of North Philadelphia. Philadelphia 76ers President Chris Heck, Executive Director of Community Engagement Amy Hever, and Clarke will speak at the ribbon-cutting before the event transitions to a block party and basketball tournament, featuring more than 40 local neighborhood youth aged 10-13. In conjunction with the announcement of plans to renovate the court last year, the Sixers Youth Foundation ensured classroom support was also provided by embedding two signature programs at John F. Hartranft School. Additionally, the 76ers hosted a day of service in August, 2017 that deployed more than 125 staff members to the school in an effort to beautify the grounds and pack classroom kits for students in preparation for the impending school year.

Cathy ist es Mega wichtig in der Presse zu sein, da könnte Ludwig sonst was haben, die würde fliegen. Ich habe mir heute mal die 2012 Bilder angesehen und kann es kaum fassen das die noch immer dabei ist 😝Hast du eigentlich mitbekommen, dass Pamela Anderson ne Wag sein soll???

Ja, das glaube ich in der Tat auch! Der Kleine könnte die Windpocken haben (wird ja in ein paar Jahren so kommen) und die würde ihn mitschleppen. Ich glaube von den 2012er WaGs sind tatsächlich nur noch Cathy, Lisa Müller und Jessica Kroos dabei, oder? Alle anderen wurden ausgewechselt. Find’s schade, das Mats nicht auch so mutig war wie die anderen Spieler... :D

Ne, das habe ich zum Glück nicht mitbekommen.
