ZGODBO ZLATE LISICE PIŠEMO SKUPAJ Za nas Štajerce, ki smo Pohorje vedno imeli pred očmi, je Zlata lisica zmeraj pomenila najpomembnejšo športno prireditev v vsakem letu in za naše športne junakinje smo vedno srčno in glasno navijali. Na Pohorje sem se sicer vselej z največjim veseljem vračal, pa če je šlo za dnevno smučarijo, poletne priprave namiznoteniškega kluba ali pa le ob pogledu iz družinskega vinograda, ko se pred očmi za Ptujskim in Dravskim poljem razgrne v vsej mogočnosti. Čeravno sem sam zgolj rekreativni smučar in sem bil tekmovalno zapisan namiznemu tenisu, občudujem vse slovenske športnice in športnike, ki s trdim delom predano sledijo postavljenim ciljem, imajo najvišje ambicije in dosegajo izjemne rezultate v svetovnem merilu. V športu je vse jasno in običajno ni prostora za iskanje izgovorov. Podobno filozofijo gojijo tudi slovenske podjetnice in podjetniki, ki dosegajo vse boljše rezultate v globalni konkurenci. Vnaprej se veselim časa, ko si bomo tudi v oblastnih strukturah in Za to skrbimo na več načinov. Najprej s resnično neugodnih razmerah pokazati sistemskih institucijah postavili enake cilje. svojim znanjem in storitvami, usmerjenimi še posebno veliko požrtvovalnosti in Da bomo kot družba med najboljšimi na k strankam, s prepoznavanjem priložnosti predanosti, za kar se ji v NLB zahvaljujemo svetu in bomo za to trdo in predano delali, in potreb lokalnega okolja, z uspešnim in ji čestitamo.

The gender perspective Felizitas Sagebiel, University of Wuppertal, Wuppertal [email protected] Co-authors: Dahmen, Jennifer, Davidsson, Bodil, Godfroy-Genin, Anne-Sophie, Rommes, Els, Thaler, Anita, Urbancíková, Natasa Abstract The paper will report about the idea, aim and concept of the European Commission project MOTIVATION starting 2008 and lasting two years. This coordination action will compile an exchange between the partner countries 1 (Austria, France, Germany, Netherlands, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden) about different factors, which influence the image of sciences and technology. Young people often have obsolete and unattractive job images in their minds and peer groups, teachers and media are influencing this image in their function as socialisation agents. First, content analysis of media as socialisation instances will be done; results will be exchanged and analysed for demonstration how, for example, gender stereotypes in science and technology are represented in TV and in magazines. Second, focus group discussions with young people will give information about possible peer group influence. Third, interviews with teachers will give information about their perceived influence on the attitudes of teenagers. Fourth, teachers’ study and job consultants’ attitudes will be exchanged. Fifth, chances for changing attitudes and examples of good practice will be described in qualitative case studies.

  • Mikaela Shiffrin - Crystal Globe • Mikaela Shiffrin Will Secure the Ladies' Giant Slalom Crystal Globe If She Leads by More Than 100 Points After This Race
    PREVIEW LADIES' GIANT SLALOM – Friday 8 Mar 2019 Mikaela Shiffrin - crystal globe • Mikaela Shiffrin will secure the ladies' giant slalom crystal globe if she leads by more than 100 points after this race. • It would be Shiffrin's first crystal globe in giant slalom. She has already won six in slalom and three overall (both including 2018/19). • Shiffrin could become the third alpine skier from the United States to win the ladies' giant slalom crystal globe, after Tamara McKinney (1981, 1983) and Marilyn Cochran (1969). • Shiffrin officially secured her third successive overall World Cup after the cancelled races in Sochi last week. She equalled Janica Kostelic, Petra Kronberger and Vreni Schneider (all 3) in third place for most ladies' overall crystal globes, behind Annemarie Moser-Pröll (6) and Lindsey Vonn (4). • Shiffrin became the fourth woman to win three consecutive overall crystal globes, after Vonn (2008-2010), Kronberger (1990-1992) and Moser-Pröll (5, 1971-1975). • Shiffrin can become the fifth woman to win the slalom and giant slalom crystal globes in one season, after Tanja Poutiainen (2005), Anja Pärson (2004), Schneider (1989, 1995) and Lise-Marie Morerod (1977). • Pärson (2004), Schneider (1989, 1995) and Morerod (1977) also won the overall World Cup in those seasons. • The last woman to win three World Cup standings in one season was Anna Veith in 2015, when she won the overall, giant slalom and Alpine combined. Mikaela Shiffrin - World Cup races • Mikaela Shiffrin can become the first alpine skier, male or female, to win 15 World Cup races in a single season.

  • 2014 Winter Olympic Competing Nations ALBANIA (ALB)
    2014 Winter Olympic Competing Nations We list below detailed historial Olympic information for every IOC Member Nation that has previously competed at the Olympic Winter Games and that will compete in Sochi, as of 27 January 2014. There appear to be 88 qualified NOCs that have met IF quota requirements as of 24 January, and have accepted them (the previous record for a Winter Olympics is 82 in 2010 at Vancouver). Unfortunately, after reallocation of some quotas, only the skiing federation (FIS) has published the final quotas as of 26 January. We have tried to list below the sports for which each NOC has qualified but there is a small chance, with reallocations, that there may be minor differences in the final allocation by sport. There are seven nations that will compete in Sochi that have never before competed at the Olympic Winter Games – Dominica, Malta, Paraguay, Timor-Leste (East Timor), Togo, Tonga, and Zimbabwe. Their factsheets have been published previously on olympstats.com – see http://olympstats.com/2014/01/23/new-winter-olympic-nations-for-sochi/, which came out on 23 January. One problem nation is listed below and that is DPR Korea (North). They have not qualified any athletes for Sochi. They had the 1st and 2nd reserves for pairs figure skating but those do not appear to have been chosen by final reallocation of quota sports by the International Skating Union (ISU). However, yesterday (26 January), DPR Korea has petitioned the IOC for redress to allow them to have Olympic athletes compete in Sochi. So they are included below but it is unknown if they will compete.
