An indirect presidential election (officially the 1st Federal Convention) was held on 12 September 1949, following the first Bundestag election of 14 August 1949 and coalition talks/ negotiations between CDU/CSU, FDP and German Party (DP).

The FDP leader Theodor Heuss, who was nominated by CDU/CSU and FDP by agreement of the partners of the ruling coalition, was elected by the Federal Convention (composed of all members of the Bundestag and an equal number of delegates selected by the state legislatures).

Under the 1949 Basic Law, the new office of the Federal President was given fewer powers than the preceding office of Reich President, due to the bad experiences of the past, especially the abuse of emergency powers. Heuss therefore assumed a largely ceremonial role. However, his duties included the nomination of the first Federal Chancellor, Konrad Adenauer. Federal President Heuss took the oath of office in front of Bundestag and Bundesrat the same day of his election, on 12 September 1949.

This was the first German presidential election in post-war Germany and the second indirect election since 1919 that elected Social Democrat Friedrich Ebert as Germany's first President.

David Ellsworth Posey (born April 1, 1956) is a former American football kicker who played for the New England Patriots in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Florida University.

Early life and education 
When Posey was in St. Andrews high school, the Miami Dolphins trained at his campus while he was there, making him friends with many Dolphins players. Also because of that, he was trained by All-Pro Miami Dolphins starting kicker Garo Yepremian and Miami Dolphins backup kicker Karl Kremser. He was both a kicker and punter in high school. He was The Herald's 'Offensive Player of The Week' in Palm Beach County twice.

Posey came to Florida University with no scholarship, being a walk-on. In a game against the Auburn Tigers on November 2nd, 1974, Posey made 2 field goals including a 47 yarder to take the lead at halftime in a 25-14 victory.

Professional career 
Posey was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the 9th round of the 1977 NFL draft. He was cut by the 49ers before the season had begun, not playing at all in the 1977 season. In 1978, he was signed to the Atlanta Falcons during the preseason but was also cut by them.

However, during the 1978 NFL season, Posey got signed to the New England Patriots to replace the injured John Smith, whom got injured during week 3. In week 15 against the Buffalo Bills, Posey kicked a game-winning field goal to give the patriots their first ever division championship. Playing in eleven games, he made 11-of-22 field goals and 29-of-31 extra points. He played his first playoff game in the divisional round against the Houston Oilers. In that playoff loss, he made 2-of-2 extra points but missed his lone field goal.

Smolensk South Airport is the former aerodrome of Smolensk in Smolensk Oblast, Russia, located 2 km south of the city. It was a civilian airfield with a small tarmac runway, until it stopped operating commercially in the early 2000s. There are many stored An-2s and a disused DOSAAF area. Once the main airports of the city of Smolensk, it remains active only for sporting use.

The aerodrome was given to the regional division of the DOSAAF.
The aerodrome operator is a Smolensk based aeroclub "Полёт" (Flight). The aerodrome is also the base of operations for "Smolenskaerotrans".

During its operational years planes as large as the Yak-40 and An-24 could land on the aerodrome. It could also accommodate any plane lighter than 24 tonnes , as well as any type of helicopter.

In 2008 the Smolensk Oblast government has put forward plans to modernise the airport and restart its commercial use.

It is not to be confused with the former military Smolensk North Airport 4 km north of the city.

Bettongia moyesi is a fossil species of potoroid marsupial.

Taxonomy
The description of fossil specimens obtained at the Riversleigh World Heritage Area was published by Tim Flannery and Mike Archer in 1987. The specific epithet was proposed by the authors for a chairman of IBM Australia, Allan Moyes, due to the corporation's assistance in transporting large amounts of fossiliferous limestone from Riversleigh to Sydney.

Description
A species of Bettongia that existed in the middle Miocene, inhabiting the rainforest that once dominated the Riversleigh area. The holotype is a largely complete skull and lower jaw discovered at the Two Trees site at Rivesleigh, with another jaw obtained at the nearby Henk's Hollow site being also referred to this species. The diet was omnivorous and like the modern bettongs it consumed truffle-like fungi, although other foods included plant roots and invertebrates discovered while foraging through the forest floor. The estimate of this species' weight is around five kilograms.

The General () is a 1992 Russian biographical war film directed by Igor Nikolayev about officer Alexander Gorbatov.

Plot
March 1941. Sentenced to a long-term prison of the communists, Gorbatov is released from Lubyanka and shortly afterwards rules the unit on the front. He is a capable commander and is quickly promoted — soon he is a general-lieutenant and commands the army. Compared with other Soviet commanders, including Zhukov himself, he is distinguished by understanding the realities of the modern battlefield, the independence of courts and decisions and the ability to persuade his superiors to them. The war continues, and Gorbatov constantly comes to face not only the German invaders, but also the omnipotence of political officers, the ignorance of commanders ...

A forgivable loan, also called a soft second, is a form of loan in which its entirety, or a portion of it, can be forgiven or deferred for a period of time by the lender when certain conditions are met.  It is more like a grant with conditions rather than a loan, as in most cases the loan is forgiven if all the conditions are met.  However, if the conditions are not met the loan has to be repaid, usually with interest.  It can be seen as an incentive for the borrower to perform or achieve a goal set by the lender.

Forgivable loans are sometimes used in the financial services industry to lure a financial advisor from one firm to another.  For example, an advisor may be offered an incentive, structured as a four-year loan, if he moves his book of business to the firm.  The loan is made up of four equal annual payments, each of which is forgiven as they become due if the advisor continues to work for the firm.
