Cxoc Vermieter können sich vor Reparaturen nicht d

Dem Urteil ging eine Klage voraus, in der die Mieterin einer Wohnung, seit 1978 in dieser Einheit wohnhaft, ihren Vermieter aufforderte, den Zustand der Fenster zu erneuern. Dieser wies dies entscheidend zurück, eben mit dem Vermerk, dass die Mieterin bereits beim Einzug damit h?tte rechnen müssen, dass sich der Zustand der Wohnung im Laufe der Jahre verschlechtern würde.




Au?erdem argumentierte der Vermieter, dass die Frau eine Teilschuld mittr?gt, da sie die Fenster nicht richtig geputzt habe und keinen Innenantstrich vorgenommen habe.

Das Gericht sah es als erwiesen an, dass der Vermieter gesetzlich dazu verpflichtet w?re, die Wohnung in einem vertragsgem??en Zustand zu erhalten. Dieser Pflicht ist der Vermieter in diesem Fall nicht nachgekommen. Seine Argumentation schmetterten die Richter als Unsinn ab. So liege es auf der Hand, dass die Holzfenster irgendwann verfallen. Die dann n?tige Instandhaltung w?re Sache des Vermieters und k?nne nicht auf den Mieter abgew?lzt werden.

Vermieter k?nnen sich vor Reparaturen nicht drücken

Laut einem Urteil des Amtsgerichts K?ln (Az.: 219 C70/07) k?nnen sich Vermieter vor Erhaltungsma?nahmen an alten Holzfenstern nicht drücken. Das Gericht entschied, dass die Argumentation des Vermieters,? die im Laufe der Jahre eingetretende Verschlechterung der Wohnung sei für den Mieter absehbar gewesen, nicht gültig ist und er somit? die uralten Holzfenster instandsetzen müsse.

Um die Kontrolle über die Raumtemperatur zu behalten, raten Experten zur Anschaffung eines Raumthermometers. Dieses richtig reguliert und eingestellt, kann Heizkosten von bis zu 20 Prozent einsparen. Auch das Durchlüften der Wohnr?ume in gewissen Abst?nden ist von N?ten, um Schimmelbildung in der Wohnung zu vermeiden. Au?erdem kostet Lüften keine zus?tzliche Heizenergie, denn durch die verringerte Feuchtigkeit in der Luft sinkt die Wohlfühltemperatur von circa 24 auf 22 Grad, so eine Sprecherin der Berliner Wohnungsbaugesellschaft WoBoGe. Weitere Tipps für Hausbesitzer finden Sie in einem aktuellen Artikel auf Welt-Online.de.

Berlin erh?ht die W?rmelieferung

Aufgrund der zum Teil sibirischen K?lte in weiten Teilen Deutschlands reagieren die W?rmelieferanten in der Hauptstadt: So hat Vattenfall seine W?rmeleistung in den vergangenen N?chten um 25 Prozent erh?ht um den knapp 620.000 Berliner Haushalten, die Vattenfall-Energie beziehen, eine warme Wohnung zu gew?hrleisten. Auch die rund 600.000 Berliner Wohnungen, die mit Erdgas beheizt werden, erhalten derzeit von der Berliner Gasag mehr Energie. So sagte das Unternehmen, dass man derzeit 52 Prozent mehr Gas ausliefere, als an normalen Tagen.

Darren Oliver: Type ;A - Halos Heaven

Believe it or not, Cousin Oliver made the Type A listfor free agents. That means if the Angels offer him arbitration, and he declines, and he then goes on to sign as a free agent elsewhere, the Angels get either a First or Second Round draft pick from the team that signs him, plus a Supplemental First Round pick. THAT MEANS WE BEST BE OFFERING D.O. ARBITRATION, AND HOPING HE DECLINES.

Dude has been rock solid pitcher for us, and a good teammate to boot, but he was pretty bad from 2000-04, will be 38 years old, and getting two high draft picks for a guy like that is a steal. To give an example, when the Angels signed Type A Orlando Cabrera in 2005, the Red Sox used their two high picks to get Jacoby Ellsbury and Jed Lowrie.



Come to think of it, it would be a nice project to figure out who the Angels got and lost, draft-pick-wise, from the Free Agent market over the years….

What’s particularly interesting (and frustrating) in Cisco’s adoption of open source, however, is its apparent efforts to benefit from open source without taking any responsibility for the included open source.

But introduces it with this caveat:

(b) in no event are the Suppliers liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages, including, but not limited to lost data, lost savings and lost profits, with respect to the Excluded Components. Despite anything to the contrary in the EULA or this supplement, the Excluded Components are governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable Supplier license and/or notice.

Given the benefits it derives from open source, shouldn’t it stand behind the open-source software it chooses to distribute as part of its products?

This is Cisco’s attempt to pass through open-source licensing’s own disclaimers of liability, but it doesn’t sit right with me, given that Cisco is including these components within its own proprietary products, products for which it gets paid and products for which it provides some level of indemnification.

Granted, Cisco learned to its detriment that violation of open-source licensing can be an expensive proposition, but this seems like Cisco wants to have its cake (open source) and eat it, too (disclaim all responsibility for using that software).

Cisco wants it both ways with open source

I’ve written before that Cisco has aggressively been adopting open source for its hardware products, in addition to its push to promote Linux at Microsoft’s expense.



For example, Cisco’s Wireless Control System includes this lengthy list of open-source components in its EULA…

Cpva Cisco sheds jobs as it ‘realigns’ business_41

“Cisco is constantly evaluating its business priorities, resources and overall employee alignment as part of our business management process,” the company said in a statement. “This limited restructuring is part of our ongoing, targeted realignment of resources and was previously discussed on our fiscal second quarter 2009 earnings call.”

One thing is clear, Cisco is in better financial position than many of its peers. In January it had about $29.5 billion in cash, and it just issued an additional $4 billion debt to help fund acquisitions.

Marguerite Reardon has been a CNET News reporter since 2004, covering cell phone services, broadband, citywide Wi-Fi, the Net neutrality debate, as well as the ongoing consolidation of the phone companies. E-mail Maggie.


CEO John Chambers said during the company’s quarterly conference call earlier this month that the company would shed between 1,500 and 2,000 as it realigns the business.

Cisco’s job cuts come as other large technology companies have also laid off workers amid the deepening worldwide recession. Microsoft has already announced 5,000 job cuts over the next 18 months. And others like software maker SAP will cut about 3,000 people.

But Cisco insists these cuts are part of the company’s normal course of business as it focuses on growth areas in the company.

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that Cisco, which sells Internet gear to communications service providers and large companies, has laid off about 250 employees at its headquarters in San Jose, Calif., this week. Other jobs in offices throughout the U.S. and overseas were also cut, the company said.



Like many technology companies, Cisco has been hit hard by the worldwide recession. Its revenue is slowing as its corporate customers and large communications service providers slow spending. In its second fiscal quarter, the company’s revenue dipped by about 7.5 percent to $9.1 billion compared to the previous year.

Instead of major workforce reductions to control costs, Cisco is focusing on reducing expenses by $1 billion by the end of fiscal year 2009. To achieve this goal it has taken a “pause” in hiring and reduced travel, offsite meetings, outside services, equipment, events, prototypes, marketing, and other activities.

And things are only going to get worse, Chambers warned. He expects sales to dip as much as 20 percent in the next quarter. That said, Chambers has also said that Cisco is well-positioned to emerge even stronger after the economic malaise. The company has been investing in new markets, such as consumer electronics and video for the past couple of years.

Chambers insisted the company is not planning a major layoff, which he defined as cutting 10 percent or more of the company’s workforce. Cisco currently employs about 67,000 people worldwide. 

Cisco sheds jobs as it 'realigns' business

Technology stalwart Cisco Systems has begun “realigning” its workforce and has confirmed that it has started laying off workers this week.

Blog: The history of jeans

Posted in Pants on September 6th, 2009 by admin – 1 Comment

The word “jeans” comes from the French phrase bleu de Gênes, literally the blue of Genoa. Jeans fabric, or denim, originated independently in two places: the French town of Nîmes, which ‘denim’ owes its name to; and in India, where trousers made of denim material were worn by the sailors of Dhunga, which came to be known as dungarees.

At around the same time, denim trousers were made in Chieri, a town near Turin (Italy), during the Renaissance, and were popularised in the 16th century. These trousers were sold through the harbour of Genoa, which was the capital of the independent Republic of Genoa which was a naval power.

Early examples of these trousers were made for the Genoese Navy, which required all-purpose pants for its sailors. They required pants that could be worn wet or dry, the legs of which could easily be rolled up to wear while swabbing the deck. These Jeans were laundered by dragging them in large mesh nets behind the ship, and the exposure to sea water and sun would gradually bleach them to white. They were especially worn by Genoan sailors and stevedores who worked in France.
