On October 17, 2008, the album Black Ice (= black ice) appeared in the German-speaking world, three days before the international launch on October 20, 2008. It was the 14th album the famous band. In 29 nations, including Australia, Germany Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, the charts took first place. This year's stamp from the series Christmas depicts the Virgin Mary with the Infant Jesus as she appears in a window of the Catholic parish church of St. Stephen in Mainz. The window, as well as eight others in St. Stephen's Church, was created by Marc Chagall, a French painter of Russian Jewish origin. The works of art created from 1978 to 1985 are a sign of Jewish-Christian solidarity, for peace and reconciliation. 200,000 visitors a year admire the windows that reflect the blue of the sky and the Côte d'Azur, where Chagall last lived and worked. After 15 years in Unterschleißheim north of Munich MICHEL moves to the turn of the year in the district town Germering west of the state capital. The new address is: INDUSTRIESTRAßE 1, 82110 GERMERING. In the new offices, the editorial team, which has grown considerably within the last year, can work even better. With the three new specialists, a 13-man - and now also a woman - editorial team is now looking after cataloging and price evaluation. Sales and IT departments have also been strengthened recently. The entire MICHEL team is looking forward to convincing its customers from the new location with the usual quality and best service. Pterosaurs, as the paleontologists call them, are among the most fascinating creatures in the history of the earth. With their large, wing-like flight skins, they were the first vertebrates to fly independently. A particularly interesting member of this genus is the Noripterus parvus, whose fossils were found in central Mongolia.
