7-Jähriger schickt verstorbener Oma Postkarte – dann kommt plötzlich eine Antwort
- Ein siebenjähriger Junge aus Niedersachsen schickte seiner toten Oma einen Brief
- Und bekam eine Antwort, wie das Video oben zeigt
Das war sicher eine große Überraschung. Als eine Mutter aus der Nähe von Quakenbrück in Niedersachsen den Briefkasten öffnete, fand sie eine ganz besondere Postkarte. Der Frau und ihrem Sohn kamen sofort die Tränen.
Auf der Beerdigung seiner Oma hatte der kleine Luis einen Luftballon mit einer Postkarte an seine Großmutter steigen lassen. Jetzt hat der siebenjährige Junge tatsächlich eine Antwort erhalten:
“Lieber Luis, danke, dass du mir eine Karte geschickt hast. Natürlich werde ich immer Dein Schutzengel sein und gut auf Dich aufpassen. Ich werde jeden Tag auf dich herabschauen! In Liebe, Deine Oma.”
Wer ist der Absender?
Um sich dafür zu bedanken, sucht die Mutter jetzt den anonymen Absender, der für ihren Sohn Engel gespielt hat.
Ihr Facebook-Post wurde dafür bereits mehr als 12.000 Mal geteilt.
“Ich bin völlig sprachlos über diese große Teilnahme der Facebook Gemeinde”, schreibt Ruthenburg. “Ich bin glücklich über soviel Zuspruch und hoffe, dass wir diesen besonderen Menschen bald finden werden.”

Latte Levy: Why You Should Recycle With A Reusable Coffee Cup
Only one in 400 disposable coffee cups are recycled in the UK, with an estimated 2.5 billion thrown away each year, according to a new report by the Environmental Audit Committe.
MPs are thus proposing a 25p “latte levy” on disposable coffee cups and an outright ban if they’re not recyclable by 2023.
Also, with Pret increasing the discount offered to customers who bring their own reusable cups from 25p to 50p, it looks like 2018 might be the year that we tackle the coffee cup waste problem head on.
Here’s just some of the reasons why you should invest in a reusable coffee cup this year.
It cuts your plastic pollution footprint by a huge amount.
Half of the plastic used in the world today is for single use disposable items, like coffee cups.
So by committing to a reusable coffee cup, you are taking huge strides in the fight against plastic waste.
Try out a KeepCup, prices starting at £10. These babies reduce your landfill footprint by 99% in comparison to disposable cups.
Reap the benefits of the reusable cup discount.
More and more coffee shops are offering money off your cuppa if you bring your own cup. Even the indies and local coffee carts are jumping on board.
If you frequent a Costa or Starbucks in your morning rush to work, both brands deduct 25p off the price of your drink if you have a reusable coffee cup.
So you’ll make the money back for the price of the cup itself in no time, or in roughly forty coffees (which is around eight working weeks’ worth). Talk about a worthy investment.
You could even give Starbucks own reusable coffee cups a go, for £1 a pop .
They retain heat for much longer than disposable cups.
Nothing compares to the heartbreak of taking a sip from your coffee cup, to find it has gone cold in two minutes flat.
Investing in a insulating coffee cup will ensure that your first (of fifth) fix of the day isn’t miserable and ice cold before you finish your morning emails.
Try a Thermos Thermocafe desk mug, for £10.
You can save yourself a fortune by making your morning coffee at home.
Instead of spending upwards of £15 a week on a latte every morning to help ease yourself into work, make yourself one for the journey.
The BYO Cup, a silicone lookalike to the disposable coffee cup and a bargain at £9.95, is a trendy, green alternative.
Put simply, it’s the future.
Stay ahead of the curve and invest in a sustainable coffee drinking option, for your purse and the planet.
For a glimpse into an even more sustainable future for coffee drinkers, try out an ecoffee cup for £12.95, which is made from natural, sustainable bamboo fibres.

Biathlon im Live-Stream: Oberhof-Sprint online sehen, so geht’s
- Los geht der Weltcup für die Männer am Freitag um 14.45 Uhr
- Das Video zeigt, wie ihr das Erste online sehen könnt
Biathlon im Live-Stream: Im ersten Rennen des Olympia-Jahres muss Biathlon-Bundestrainer Mark Kirchner in Oberhof auf Lokalmatador Erik Lesser verzichten. Der zweimalige Weltmeister fehlt am Freitag ab 14.15 Uhr im Weltcup-Sprint wegen eines Infekts und kann somit auch am Samstag in der Verfolgung nicht starten.
Sein Einsatz am Sonntag in der Staffel ist auch fraglich. Einen Ersatz für Lesser gibt es nicht. Der Frankenhainer hatte mit zwei dritten Plätzen für die bisher einzigen deutschen Podestplätze in dieser Saison gesorgt.
Damit ruhen die deutschen Hoffnungen vor allem auf Massenstart-Weltmeister Simon Schempp, Arnd Peiffer und Benedikt Doll. Auch Johannes Kühn und Roman Rees wollen sich fünf Wochen vor den Olympischen Spielen in Pyeongchang zeigen.
Besonders das Abschneiden von Sprint-Weltmeister Doll wird mit Interesse verfolgt. Der Schwarzwälder, der in Oberhof bei Bundestrainer Kirchner trainiert, kam in dieser Saison erst langsam in Fahrt. Platz acht in der Verfolgung von Le Grand Bornand war das einzige ansprechende Ergebnis.
Wie ihr Biathlon im Live-Stream sehen könnt
Das Rennen ist live im Ersten zu sehen. Die Entscheidung folgt ab 14.55 Uhr. Internetnutzern steht ein kostenloser Live-Stream auf der Sender-Homepage zur Verfügung:
► Biathlon im ARD Live-Stream sehen, hier geht’s
Auch der Free-TV Sender Eurosport 1 schaltet zeitgleich zum Slalom nach Österreich – auch im Live-Stream. Um diesen nutzen zu können müssen Fans sich jedoch auf der Seite registrieren.
► Sprint im Live-Stream von Eurosport 1 sehen, hier geht’s
Schlechte Bedingungen in Oberhof
Die Biathleten hoffen am Freitag auf halbwegs faire Bedingungen. Das Wetter beim Weltcup in Oberhof ist beinahe traditionell schlecht.
Die Organisatoren hatten bereits nach dem Damen-Rennen im Dauerregen und Nebel alle Hände voll zu tun, die Strecke weiter renntauglich zu halten.
Und auch der Wind könnte erneut eine entscheidende Rolle spielen. “Es wird auf der tiefen Loipe ein hartes Rennen”, sagte der 27-jährige Doll voraus.

‘Fire And Fury’ To Be Released Early Despite Donald Trump’s Efforts To Stop It
Donald Trump’s efforts to stop the publication of an explosive new book about his administration appears to have been in vain after the it was announced it could hit the shelves four days early.
A leaked copy of “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House” by author Michael Wolff set off a political firestorm with its portrayal of an unprepared presidential candidate who didn’t particularly want to win the US election in 2016.
Originally scheduled for release on 9 January, its author last night revealed that date had been moved forward to today (Friday).
Here we go. You can buy it (and read it) tomorrow. Thank you, Mr. President.
— Michael Wolff (@MichaelWolffNYC) January 4, 2018
Some of the harshest quotes in the book came from Steve Bannon, the right-wing firebrand who headed the final stage of Trump’s campaign and became chief strategist at the White House before being fired in August.
Trump’s lawyer said on Thursday he would try to stop publication and threatened legal action against Bannon over “defamatory” comments in the book.
I authorized Zero access to White House (actually turned him down many times) for author of phony book! I never spoke to him for book. Full of lies, misrepresentations and sources that don’t exist. Look at this guy’s past and watch what happens to him and Sloppy Steve!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2018
Trump’s falling out with Bannon deepened on Wednesday, saying his former adviser had “lost his mind,” in a blistering statement issued after comments in the book were made public.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders heaped scorn on Bannon and the book at her briefing on Thursday. She said Breitbart News should consider firing Bannon and attempted to cast doubt on Wolff’s accuracy.
She called the book “some trash” that came from “an author that no one had ever heard of until today.”
“This book is mistake after mistake after mistake,” she said.
In the book, Bannon was quoted as describing a June 2016 meeting with a group of Russians at Trump Tower in New York as “treasonous” and “unpatriotic.” The meeting, held after the Russians promised damaging information on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, was attended by Donald Trump Jr, Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager at the time.
Trump’s statement also diminished Bannon’s role in the election victory and accused him of leaking to the media. Before joining the campaign, Bannon headed the conservative Breitbart News website and proved to be a divisive figure in the White House. He returned to Breitbart after being fired, although he is reported to have continued to talk with Trump.
‘CHANGED HIS TUNE’
Bannon’s reaction to the book controversy has been muted. In interviews with Breitbart News after the news broke, he called Trump a “great man” and pledged continued support for the president’s agenda.
The president took note. “He called me a great man last night so he obviously changed his tune pretty quick,” Trump told reporters on Thursday. “I don’t talk to him. That’s a misnomer.”
Bradley Moss, a Washington lawyer specializing in national security law, said any non-disclosure agreement would not apply to Bannon once he became a government employee. The government has far less power to limit speech by employees than private companies, Moss said.
A lawsuit could hurt Trump because Bannon’s lawyers would be entitled to interview White House officials and collect potentially damaging documents from them in his defense, Moss said.
“I assume the cease-and-desist letter is aimed primarily at the public,” added Michael Dorf, a professor at Cornell Law School. “The idea that he could block publication is absurd.”
On Thursday, the White House also said no personal devices, including cellphones, would be allowed in the White House West Wing beginning next week for security purposes. The moves followed the Bannon split but had been considered for some time, White House officials said.
Bannon helped Trump shape a populist, anti-establishment message and had been the president’s link to his hard-line conservative base of support, which is often at odds with the Republican Party establishment.
The story that triggered the Trump-Bannon split was an offshoot of the investigation into whether Trump campaign aides colluded with Russia to sway the election to Trump, allegations Trump and Moscow deny.
Manafort and business associate Rick Gates, another campaign aide, pleaded not guilty in November to federal charges brought by Special Counsel Robert Mueller including conspiracy to launder money. Manafort sued Mueller on Wednesday, alleging that his investigation exceeded its legal authority.
